Sheriff masterfully shuts down anti-gun narrative after ‘racially motivated’ shooting: ‘The problem is the individual’
At a press conference providing an update about the attack, a reporter asked Waters “what should have been done” to prevent the atrocity. The problem, Waters explained, is not guns, but people who use them in an evil manner.
“We have to stop people with bad intentions,” he said. “The story is always about guns — people are bad — this guy’s a bad guy.
“If I could take my gun off right now, and I lay it on this counter, nothing will happen. It’ll sit there. But as soon as a wicked person grabs ahold of that handgun and starts shooting people with it, there’s the problem,” he continued. “The problem is the individual. Now guns are a tool that people use to do horrible things. But it’s the individuals that wield these things. So we are working hard to try to stop that.”
According to Waters, the perpetrator was legally permitted to own the firearms that he used to carry out his attack. In fact, he had no criminal history, and the firearms were “100% legal.”
Audit: FEMA Misspent Nearly $27M in COVID Funeral Funds
FEMA money was spent on such things as “boat purchases” for families to spread the ashes of loved ones at sea, and funeral jewelry for survivors, the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of the Inspector General (IG) said.
Expenses reimbursed included “gratuities; portraits;
funeral jewelry for survivors; memory T-shirts/blankets; travel or boat purchases intended to scatter ashes outside of a memorial service; perpetual care of burial grounds; and items purchased for individuals attending the funeral or service, such as travel costs, clothing, and hotel costs,” the IG report said.
In its audit, the IG said that FEMA’s COVID funeral program spent more than $2.5 billion on 389,000 COVID-related funeral applications compared to an earlier high of “$2.6 million on 976 funeral assistance applications to pay for funeral costs of victims of Hurricanes Irma, Harvey, and Maria in 2017.”

WATCH: Mass Youth Brawls Hit California Malls
LOS ANGELES, California — Two massive brawls were reported on Sunday at malls in California, including one at the Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance in L.A., and one at the Bay Street Mall in Emeryville, near Oakland.
The mass brawls are the latest flash mob phenomenon to terrorize retail in the California area.
Mass looting events, which began in the Black Lives Matter riots and launched with fervor in November 2021 in San Francisco’s Union Square, have sparked the formation of a special task force in L.A., with help from the California Highway Patrol.
Moment Nevada Rangers plow truck through Extinction Rebellion protest
Rangers have smashed through a climate protest blocking the road to Burning Man in Nevada – as footage shows them taking a no-nonsense approach to the activists.
Video shows six demonstrators from Seven Circles and Extinction Rebellion jamming the street with a trailer, causing traffic chaos and miles-long gridlock.
But rangers from the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribal Police Department of Nevada plowed straight through the blockade and quickly began arresting demonstrators.
One tribal officer got out of the vehicle and ordered a woman to the floor at gunpoint before telling her to ‘stop resisting’ arrest.
‘Couldn’t Care Less’: Green Groups Let Offshore Wind Off The Hook As Mysterious Whale Deaths Surge
“All the dead whales are washing up on the East Coast where windmills are destroying their habitat, while down in the Gulf of Mexico, generations of scientific evidence and practical experience have shown no conflict between whales and oil and gas operations,” Dan Kish, senior fellow for the Institute for Energy Research, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “It’s pretty clear the Greens who are pushing for offshore wind off the East Coast couldn’t care less about whales.”
Government agencies may not entirely understand the impacts that offshore wind acoustics have on whales, either.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is spending up to $850,000 to fund research to fill in “key information gaps in acoustic ecology of North Atlantic right whales,” according to a grant notice the agency posted to its website in May, but the projects have not been paused.

Seven Failures that Contributed to Maui Fire Tragedy
Some of the factors were known years or months in advance, such as the risk of nonnative grasses, while others were known days in advance of the fire, which so far as officially claimed at least 115 people, with search efforts still underway.
There were also some decisions made the fatal day of August 8, as firefighters ran out of water and cars were blocked from escaping the town.
Here are some of the failures we know of to date:

EXCLUSIVE: U.S. Attorney Weiss Colluded With DOJ To Thwart Congressional Questioning, Emails Show
Emails obtained by the Heritage Foundation following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit and shared exclusively with The Federalist establish that on multiple occasions, the Department of Justice intervened on behalf of Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to respond to congressional inquiries related to the Hunter Biden investigation.
This revelation raises more questions about the June 7, 2023, letter dispatched to House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan under Weiss’s signature line, in which the Delaware U.S. attorney claimed he had “ultimate authority” over charging decisions related to Hunter Biden.
It also suggests Weiss and the DOJ may have conspired to mislead Congress.

Surveillance prolific in cities around the world becoming the norm | 60 Minutes Australia
REWIND TO 2009 when high tech surveillance was being implemented by authorities in cities around the world, and for regular citizens, there was no where one can hide.
Whether you’re innocent or guilty, authorities are able to keep tabs on you when you use a credit card, drive down the shops or even log into your computer.
They have already gathered a significant amount of personal information about you, and they have only continued to.
More than a decade later, people seem to have gotten used to this intrusive surveillance, and privacy seems to be an afterthought for most.

Whitlock: Jacksonville shooting provides Joe Biden opportunity to camouflage the bigotry of progressives
Make no mistake, Joe Biden loves Ryan Palmeter, a professed racist. Palmeter allows Biden and his surrogates to cast themselves as racial justice warriors, men and women brave enough to confront the scourge of white supremacy.
A recent Fox News poll indicated that Biden and the Democratic Party are bleeding black voter support. Biden received 91% of the black vote in 2020. According to the Fox poll, he’s on schedule to dip to 61% in 2024. Those numbers will justify the DNC in replacing Old Joe with Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom.
That’s why Biden is quite pleased that Palmeter opened fire at Dollar General. The president can now pretend that he and the Democratic Party are all that stand between black Americans and a return to 1823.
“Even as we continue searching for answers, we must say clearly and forcefully that white supremacy has no place in America,” Biden said in a statement. “We must refuse to live in a country where black families going to the store or black students going to school live in fear of being gunned down because of the color of their skin. Hate must have no safe harbor. Silence is complicity and we must not remain silent.”

Trump Jan. 6 trial to begin March 4, amid GOP primaries
Smith and the government had initially proposed the trial begin on Jan. 2, 2024, suggesting it would last approximately four to six weeks.
That date would fall right at the start of the Republican presidential primaries—just weeks before the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary.
Trump’s defense team proposed, instead, that the trial begin in April 2026— long after the results of the 2024 presidential election.
The judge said neither date was acceptable.
Trump Warns Kevin McCarthy He’ll ‘Fade into Oblivion’ Unless He Impeaches Biden: ‘Impeach the Bum’
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has repeatedly stated that the mounting evidence of the Biden family’s influence-peddling business warrants an impeachment inquiry.
However, as the allegations of a foreign bribery scheme stack up against Biden, little action has been taken.
Trump has now warned Republicans to take action and stop talking or they will “fade into oblivion.”
“Either impeach the bum or fade into oblivion, they did it to us,” Trump said.
“Look, the guy got bribed, he paid people off, and he wouldn’t give One Billion Dollars to Ukraine unless they ‘got rid of the Prosecutor.’
“Biden is a stone-cold crook and you don’t need a long inquiry to prove it.”
Tucker Carlson Says ‘Christian’ Hungary Targeted by Biden
“Let’s take a pass on Hungary,” Carlson told MCC Feszt in Budapest, Hungary, on Friday, suggesting a new foreign policy direction for the State Department. “We’ve got bigger problems.
“But they can’t. They hate Hungary. And they hate it not because of what it’s done, but because of what it is. It’s a Christian country, and they hate that. And that’s the truth. And nobody wants to say it, but it’s true.
“I love the United States; it’s my country; to restate, I was born there and I’m never leaving — and I love my country, but the people who run it right now are dangerous and insane.
