Alleged Intruder Uses Brass Knuckles to Break Window, Then Gets Shot Dead

An alleged intruder who used brass knuckles to beat against a front door and break a window just before midnight Friday in Missouri was shot multiple times by the homeowner and killed.

KFVS 12 reported that the homeowner, Austin Glastetter, was in the house with his wife at the time of the incident.

Glastetter told the suspect, 31-year-old John Fisher, that he was armed, but Fisher allegedly responded by saying, “You’ll have to kill me.” Glastetter then shot Fisher multiple times.

The Scott County Sheriff’s Office issued a release noting that deputies arrived on the scene to find Fisher deceased.

In another portion of the release, the Sheriff’s Office observed, “Based on initial findings, the homeowner’s actions appear to have been justified in defense of themselves and their household. The safety and protection of one’s home is a fundamental right. Click here to read more.

 

Pramila Jayapal shocked to learn it gets hot in summer, argues mild temps mean climate change

This just in: it gets hot during the summer. Sometimes, it’s even hotter than average. It’s a truly stunning revelation, and we should all be grateful to far-left Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Seattle) for her meteorological expertise.

Jayapal posted an image of a weather map of the U.S. showing temperatures like Seattle at 71 degrees, San Francisco at 66 degrees, Detroit at 81 degrees, and New York at 92 degrees. This is standard summer weather.

The Squad grandmother shared her profound insight on X, where she spends all day in lieu of governing.

One expects a certain level of hyperbole from politicians, but she does this daily on all topics, leaving reasonable people to believe she’s simply lazy and unhinged. A cursory glance at the very map she posted reveals a reality that contradicts her alarmist proclamation. While Boston and New York were bracing for a heat wave, with temperatures slightly above normal, Jayapal’s own backyard was enjoying a perfectly pleasant day. Click here to read more.

 

ICE Officials Slam CNN For Promoting App That Helps Illegals Dodge Federal Agents

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials say CNN has endangered the lives of federal agents after the news network promoted an iPhone app used to “track ICE activity in real time” in an article published on Monday.

Called ICEBlock, CNN noted that the app encourages users to report ICE sightings and pinpoint the locations of federal agents to help illegal aliens avoid arrest.

“Users can tap the map to report an ICE sighting in their area, and then everybody who uses the platform within five miles of that sighting will get a push alert,” a CNN reporter said before adding that the application’s users remain anonymous.

The app reportedly has more than 20,000 users. The developer behind it describes the platform as an “early warning system.” Click here to read more.

 

Child falls overboard Disney cruise, father jumps to save her, reports say

(Gray News) – A child is safe after reportedly falling overboard from the fourth deck of a Disney cruise ship Sunday.

The girl’s father is being called a hero after he is said to have jumped in after his daughter to save her, according to several media outlets including USA TODAY and CBS News.

The cruise ship was returning to Fort Lauderdale after a four-night cruise in the Bahamas when the dramatic rescue took place.

“The Crew aboard the Disney Dream swiftly rescued two guests from the water,” Disney Cruise Line said in a statement issued to USA Today. “We commend our crew members for their exceptional skills and prompt actions, which ensured the safe return of both guests to the ship within minutes.” Click here to read more.

Despite Gunfire and a High-Speed Chase, Police Say New Michigan Laws Stopped Them from Jailing Seventeen-Year-Old

GRAND BLANC, Mich. — A 17-year-old suspect was released Friday following a high-speed police chase that ended with a handgun being thrown from the vehicle and discharging into the car, according to law enforcement officials.

The pursuit occurred June 27 and involved multiple agencies, including the Michigan State Police, Genesee County Sheriff's Department, and police from the cities of Grand Blanc, Flint, Burton, and Davison Township.

Authorities say the juvenile attempted to discard a handgun from the moving vehicle. The firearm discharged into the interior of the car during the attempt. No injuries were reported, and the suspect was taken into custody—but later released.

Law enforcement officials say the release was due to changes in state law. In October 2021, Michigan enacted a “Raise the Age” law that reclassified 17-year-olds as juveniles, meaning they could no longer be lodged in adult county jails. Previously, the suspect would have been held in the Genesee County Jail.

Michigan paid out $14 million in fraudulent food stamps

When criminals attacked Michigan’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in fiscal year 2024, they stole more than $14 million in food assistance benefits, according to a document obtained through a records request.

More than 1.4 million Michiganders receive state-issued Bridge Cards to buy food at more than 10,000 approved retailers. Organized criminal rings target these cards and retailers with fake card readers, known as skimmers, that steal account data and drain benefits, with taxpayers footing the bill.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and federal partners say they’ve fought back by seizing 44 skimmers at gas stations, grocery stores and liquor stores, protecting $16 million in benefits and 76,000 accounts, according to documents obtained through a records request.

Taxpayer-Funded PBS Show Pushes 93% Anti-Trump Bias, Study Finds

A new study released Tuesday found that the taxpayer-funded PBS program “Washington Week with The Atlantic” consistently exhibited a staggering 93% negative bias against Republicans and the Trump administration over the past three months, despite claiming to provide “objective” political coverage.

The study, conducted by the Media Research Center (MRC), analyzed 13 weekly episodes from April through June 2025, finding that panelists devoted 83 minutes to discussing Republicans and the Trump administration with overwhelming negativity.

“The panelists spent 83 minutes opining on Republicans, focusing on Trump and his administration, in 93% negative fashion (77 minutes negative, six minutes positive),” the MRC report reads.

Even topics where the Trump administration demonstrated success, such as the strike on Iran’s nuclear program, received predominantly negative coverage at 82% unfavorable. Click here to read more. Click here to read more.

 

Trial begins for man charged in Washington State mask mandate dispute

ISLAND COUNTY, Wash. — A dispute over a mask mandate is now heading to trial in Island County.

Last fall, two Republican election observers, Tracy Abuhl and Tim Hazelo, were asked to leave the county elections office for refusing to wear a mask. Both are now facing criminal charges.

At the time, the policy was set by the county auditor after half of her staff had previously gotten sick with COVID-19.

Those who did not want to wear a mask were still allowed to observe the election process from the hallway, though Abuhl says her view was obstructed there.

“I was very peaceful, very respectful, but no, this is unconstitutional,” Abuhl said. “I'm there as a volunteer, a citizen. I was a Republican observer, and I couldn't do my job.”

Both Abuhl and Hazelo were asked to leave and hit with criminal charges, including unauthorized access to a voting center, disorderly conduct, and criminal trespass. Click here to read more.

 

The Mamdani Millionaires Supporting the Socialist for NYC Mayor

In early September, Kathy Wylde, one of New York’s undisputed power brokers, met with Zohran Mamdani, then one of the longest of long-shot candidates in the New York City mayor’s race.

In a coffee shop on the ground floor of 85 Broad St. in lower Manhattan, once Goldman Sachs’s headquarters, the democratic socialist made the case that while he would be focused on income inequality, he was also open to working with the city’s business elite.

“He said, ‘Look, I’m not in favor of government taking over your business,’” Wylde said. “He made clear that he’s not anticapitalist in that sense.”

Mamdani’s shocking win in the Democratic primary last month has polarized the business community of the U.S.’s most economically critical city. Inside investment banks and during breakfast meetings, the very mention of Mayor Eric Adams’s potential left-wing successor has set off rancor and fear among the business elite, some of whom say they are considering leaving the city altogether.

What You Need to Know About the Judge Protecting Planned Parenthood’s Funding From One Big, Beautiful Bill

The Massachusetts federal judge who temporarily secured taxpayer dollars for Planned Parenthood after the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” defunding of the nation’s largest abortion provider has a career steeped in progressive politics and controversial rulings.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani of the District of Massachusetts imposed a temporary restraining order Monday directing the Department of Health and Human Services to ensure Medicaid funding continues to be disbursed to Planned Parenthood, which sued to restore its funding.

As a lawyer, Talwani represented organized labor unions, while as a judge she made left-leaning rulings on immigration policy, as well as a case involving transgender and free speech issues.

Tulsi Gabbard Declassifies Biden Admin Documents, Exposes Weaponization of Intelligence Against Americans

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard’s task force, charged with carrying out President Donald Trump’s executive orders related to the intelligence community (IC), is interviewing “whistleblowers” who could expose Russian collusion hoaxers, analyzing previous election processes to investigate vulnerabilities, and more as part of the administration’s goal to maximize transparency.

The Director’s Initiatives Group (DIG), established by Gabbard in April, was launched with the mission of “rebuilding trust in the IC,” starting with “investigating weaponization, rooting out deep-seeded politicization, exposing unauthorized disclosures of classified intelligence, and declassifying information that serves a public interest.”

“The DIG is also leading assessments of IC structure, resourcing, and personnel to improve efficiency and eliminate wasteful spending,” Gabbard’s office said at the time. Click here to read more.

Meteorologists Say the National Weather Service Did Its Job in Texas

At least 27 people, including nine children, are dead in central Texas after flash floods struck suddenly on the morning of the Fourth of July holiday. After a storm in which a month’s worth of rain fell in some regions in just a few hours, officials say they rescued more than 850 people from the floods over Friday and Saturday. A number of people were still missing as of Saturday afternoon, including 27 young campers from a Christian girls’ camp on the banks of the Guadalupe River.

Some local and state officials have said that insufficient forecasts from the National Weather Service caught the region off guard. That claim has been amplified by pundits across social media, who say that cuts to the NWS and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, its parent organization, inevitably led to the failure in Texas.

But meteorologists who spoke to WIRED say that the NWS accurately predicted the risk of flooding in Texas and could not have foreseen the extreme severity of the storm. What’s more, they say that what the NWS did forecast this week underscores the need to sustain funding to the crucial agency. Click here to read more.

 

Illinois nurse shortage fix is blocked by unions

Special interests again succeeded in keeping Illinois one of the few states that has not joined the Nurse Licensure Compact – a proven solution to health care staffing challenges and greater freedom for nurses wanting to practice in Illinois.

Nurses need just one license to practice in any state that is a member of the compact. Illinois requires nurses to take a test in the state and obtain a license that only allows them to practice in Illinois – leaving patients with fewer options and longer waits, plus leaving nurses with fewer career options and heavier workloads.

House Bill 1706, sponsored by state Rep. Yolonda Morris, D-Chicago, a certified nurse assistant, would have added Illinois to the Nurse Licensure Compact. It failed to make it out of committee for a full House vote this past legislative session, facing opposition from Illinois nursing unions that see the compact as a threat to their power.

Joining the compact would help solve Illinois’ ongoing nurse shortage. The state has faced this problem for over a decade, in part because of high attrition rates in pre-nursing academic programs. The Health & Medicine Policy Research Group stated the COVID-19 pandemic intensified the situation, as nurses’ increased workload led to burnout, mental health strains and higher resignation rates.

Texas Pediatrician Fired After Saying ‘MAGA’ Flood Victims Got ‘What They Voted For’

The Texas pediatrician who mocked Trump voters after violent Texas floods, posting that victims deserve to “get what they voted for,” no longer works for her pediatric group.

Over the weekend, Dr. Christina B. Propst , who had been employed by Blue Fish Pediatrics, posted on Facebook in a now-deleted message that she wished for the safety only of people who didn’t vote for MAGA.

“May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry,” she posted under Facebook user name, Chris Tina. “Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts.”

At least 80 people, including 28 children, have been declared dead from the raging flood that struck Central Texas on July 4. 10 girls from the all-girls Camp Mystic are still missing. “Two sisters, 13-year-old Blair and 11-year-old Brooke Harber, were killed in the Texas Hill Country floods and found with rosaries and their ‘hands locked together,’ their family said.” Newsweek reported.

Doctor saves Little League umpire’s life after he collapses during game

LOS ANGELES (KCAL/KCBS) - A doctor in the stands at a Little League baseball game helped resuscitate an umpire after he collapsed from a heart attack.

Little League umpire Jeff Hiserodt is still in a lot of pain as he stands on the baseball field in the Ladera Heights neighborhood where his heart stopped beating.

“I feel like I got hit with a baseball bat, and I lost the fight,” Hiserodt said. “I don’t think everybody gets to revisit the spot that they die.”\

The moment the umpire collapsed near home plate during a game was caught on camera. He was having a heart attack. Within seconds, his colleagues and kids surrounded him. He had no pulse, so they yelled out to the people in the bleachers for help.

Jen Poole, a palliative care doctor at Cedars-Sinai, was sitting in the stands when she heard the pleas for help. Resuscitating strangers isn’t exactly her specialty, but she rushed in to help anyway.

“The adrenaline’s going. Your heart’s going. You’re second guessing if you’re doing the right thing, but you just know you have to help,” Poole said. Click here to read more.
