‘No driver, no hands, no clue’: California DUI police left puzzled after pulling Waymo over for illegal U-turn

Wed, October 1, 2025

Police officers in California were left puzzled after pulling over a self-driving Waymo car after it performed an illegal U-turn.

DUI enforcement officers in San Bruno, some 15 miles south of San Francisco, made the stop on Saturday night after the autonomous vehicle performed the turn right in front of them at a light.

“Since there was no human driver, a ticket couldn’t be issued (our citation books don’t have a box for “robot”),” the department wrote in an online post.

“That’s right… no driver, no hands, no clue.”

It added that, rather than the result of too much alcohol, the illegal maneuver was down to a “glitch” with the Waymo operating system.

“Hopefully the reprogramming will keep it from making any more illegal moves,” the post added.

The department clarified that notifying the company of the issue did not mean that officers were being “lenient” and that California legislation was “in the works” to allow them to issue official notices.

Last September California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill that allows officers to issue “notices of noncompliance” to manufacturers if the self-driving cars are found to have violated any traffic laws.

The vehicles must also contain “a dedicated emergency response telephone line that is available for emergency response officials,” and a two-way communication device that allows law enforcement to speak to a “human operator.”

The law is set to go into effect on July 1 2026.

The bill was introduced by California assemblyman Phil Ting following several incidents in San Francisco, which included autonomous vehicles blocking traffic, entering active crime scenes and even dragging a pedestrian along the road.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has also launched its own investigation into Waymo after receiving almost two dozen reports of the autonomous vehicles potentially violating traffic laws.

“Whether it’s drivers, passengers, or even driverless cars, we’ll continue to do our part to keep San Bruno’s streets safe,” the San Bruno police department said.

Waymo self-driving cars were first launched by Google’s X research lab in 2009, and work via the use of external cameras and sensors.

Radical Right Christian Nationalist Musk Says Zio-Jewish Nationalist ADL is "HATE GROUP"

Radical Right Christian nationalists like Elon Musk seem to want it both ways: On one hand they have historically been the most hateful of Jews, ever since the conversion of the Roman Empire to the Christian religion. Remember: Before Emperor Constantine, Romans persecuted Christians as a subversive Jewish rebel sect. When Rome became Christian and the subversive Jews "won", the switch was flipped and now Christian Romans began persecuting mainstream Jews and pagans, basically anyone who refused to become Christian.

Look up what the Christian Romans (i.e. Bolshevik-like subversives of the 4th century AD) did to Hypatia of Alexandria. Look up how they destroyed the Phoenician Canaanite culture and religion by destroying temples and forcibly converting the Phoenicians to Christians. People often wonder what happened to the great Phoenician civilization that gave the phonetic alphabet to the world and colonized the entire Mediterranean (first commercially, then militarily with the Carthagenians). Nothing happened, except the Phoenicians became Christians by the force of the sword. Nowadays, we only speak of Lebanese Christians, not of Phoenicians, because Phoenician became a bad word, thanks to the gentle and meek Christian religion.

For those who are enamored with conspiracy theories, here's one for you: The Christian religion was invented by radical Jews (early Christians) as a way to tame the gentiles (Romans and other Mediterranean civilizations) by convincing them to abandon violence: Love your enemy! Turn the other cheek! Don't seek wealth! Forget about tomorrow and live for the day!... All these Christian beliefs (which can never be implemented, and have never been implemented, making the Christian religion at best a sissy "aspirational" religion) aim to transform the gentiles into a herd of easy manipulated morons.

Ever since that time, Europeans in general and Christians in particular developed their long-standing antisemitic program of persecution and extermination of their Jewish communities, climaxing in the European Holocaust - I specifically say European, and not German, because all countries that the German Nazis occupied turned into collaborators who hunted the Jews and deported them to the death camps. Look up how the French government was more Nazi and antisemitic than the Germans themselves.

Antisemitism is a uniquely European invention that thrived in the backward dumb boonies of America. Throughout the 2,000 years of persecution of Jews by Europeans, Jews found shelter among pre-Muslim Arabs and post-Muslim Arab nations and countries. The best example of that is the 700-year long Moorish-Muslim-Arab empire in Spain where Christians, Jews and Muslims lived in peace and harmony until the Christians reclaimed the peninsula (1492) and instaured the Inquisition in which Muslims and Jews were forced to either convert to Christians or be killed or leave. And many left indeed and settled in countries like Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt where they stayed until the European Zionist Jews decided to colonize Palestine in the 20th century and gather all the Jews in their colony. They pressured, bribed, and blackmailed all the Arab Jews into leaving their centuries-old homelands and move to Israel in order to artificially increase the numbers of Jews relative to the numbers of the indigenous Palestinian population, and thus justify the creation of the Jewish colony in Palestine.

And here we are today. Trump's cover for Christian Nationalism is no longer a secret. Trump essentially leads a movement (MAGA) and its affiliated terrorist militias like the Proud Boys, KKK, Oath Keepers, and other backwoods survivalist and White Christian supremacist groups.

They claim to want to protect Israel out of love for Zionists and Jews. But in fact, they have several motives for supporting Israel.

One is that they don't want Israeli Jews to leave and abandon their colony in Palestine because they will end up as refugees in the West, most likely in the US.

Second, Israel is basically a US military base in the Near East, some even compare it to a stationary US aircraft carrier, watching over the oil fields in nearby Arabian peninsula, and the IDF is nothing short of an American terror militia. Without the US, Israel would not last given the hostility and animosity it has managed to generate among 400 million Arabs and 1 billion Muslims worldwide, and now among longtime Holocaust guilt-inflicted Western friends, with its barbaric genocide in Palestine.

There is a third reason, which is that the primitive US Evangelicals, who pray more in the Torah than in the Gospels, believe literally in the garbage of the Torah. So if the Torah speaks in metaphors and fictional parables, the imbeciles of the American Evangelicals take them literally. They think that the end of times is near, that the gathering of Jews in Palestine is a prophecy realized, and that once Armageddon strikes and Jesus returns to earth from the clouds, then Jews must convert or else be put to death. Hence, the Christian Nationalists of the Evangelical MAGA movement support Israel for an ulterior motive, namely to convert as many of the Jews to Christianity and exterminate the rest, thus reasserting their innate antisemitism and affiliation with basic Nazi ideology.

Once in a while, some jerk from the MAGA movement makes a faux pas and spills out the real intentions of the movement. Elon Musk is one such idiot. Ok, he's a billionaire with science fiction ideas, but deep down he's just another racist colonial Apartheid South African bum who can't stand Black Africans or Jews.

The Anti-Defamation League is a Zionist propaganda organization disguised as a human rights organization. Its fanaticism for Israel has earned it the "Unreliable" label by Wikipedia because of its lies and distortions over the Gaza genocide. Depending on where the political winds are blowing, the ADL is occasionally pro-Black, sometimes pro-White, sometimes pro-worker, sometimes pro-corporate.... but it is ALWAYS invariably pro-Israel no matter how abject Israel's conduct is. It has no objectivity whatsoever when it comes to the Palestinian tragedy.

And now Elon Musk, the neo-Nazi Christian nationalist, is accusing ADL, the Zionist propaganda enterprise, of "Anti-Christian bias". Hahahahaaaaa.... when former lovers become enemies is a very funny scene to watch. Trump's Make America Great Again has opened the floodgates of ethnic and religious hatreds, and organizations and groups that have managed so far to hide their real objectives are forced to take a stance and can no longer hide. Hence the sparks. All the cockroaches are out. Everyone is naked. All the criminal hideous emperors now have no clothes.

It's really fun to watch. The Lebanese have a saying that translates roughly into "Let the shit beat itself to a pulp", let all those "friends" fight amongst one another.

Musk calls Anti-Defamation League ‘hate group’ for documenting Christian extremism

Mon, September 29, 2025

Elon Musk has accused the Anti-Defamation League, one of the most prominent Jewish organizations in the US, of being a “hate group” against Christians, suggesting that it encourages murder.

“The ADL hates Christians, therefore it is is [sic] a hate group,” Musk responded on Sunday night to an X account that posts anti-immigrant content.

Musk made the comments on his social media platform X in response to the ADL’s documentation of racist and extremist statements by members of Charlie Kirk’s group, Turning Point USA. The ADL previously defended Musk against accusations of antisemitism after he gave what were widely criticized as two fascist-style salutes on stage following Trump’s inauguration.

“Using such false and defamatory labels about people and organizations encourages murder,” Musk said in response.

Musk’s attacks on the ADL show that his recently positive relationship to the organization, which came to his aid after the inauguration, has soured. The ADL’s defense of Musk, who has repeatedly denied being antisemitic, led to immense backlash from longtime donors and staff.

The Tesla CEO also responded to several other rightwing influencer accounts targeting the ADL, some of whom have been seeking punishment of groups or individuals that have been critical of Kirk after his killing. They shared screenshots on Sunday of a page from the ADL’s website that documents the Christian Identity movement, an extremist ideology dating back to the 19th century which promotes a racial holy war against Jews and other minority groups.

The ADL’s page on Kirk’s organization states: “TPUSA’s leadership and activists have made multiple racist or bigoted comments and have been linked to a variety of extremists”, citing numerous incidents such as a TPUSA chapter head posting a joke about the murder of three Black students at their university; another chapter president caught on video yelling “white power”; and the organization inviting a prominent white nationalist to speak at Iowa State University.

“The idea that @ADL is anti-Christian is offensive and wrong. Many of our staff members are Christian. Many of our supporters are Christian. We are blessed to work with many Christian brothers and sisters in the shared fight against antisemitism and all forms of hate,” Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL’s CEO, posted. The statements from the ADL and Greenblatt did not address the page on TPUSA.

The ADL’s backing of Musk was a rare example of an anti-hate group supporting the tech mogul, who has faced years of criticism from extremism monitors over his amplification of far-right content. Earlier this year, the head of Yad Vashem, Israel’s memorial to victims of the Holocaust, denounced Musk’s endorsement of Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and his statement that Germans should move “past guilt”.

The organization’s relationship with Musk has been a continual source of contention for the organization, which has faced backlash in recent years over its narrowing mission and Greenblatt’s leadership.

ADL staffers have previously alleged that Greenblatt has pursued pro-Israel policies and cozied up to powerful actors such as Musk in a way that has undermined the ADL’s broader goal of combating extremism.

The ADL faced more internal turmoil earlier this year after it called Musk’s on-stage salute “an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute” and asked that “all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt”. Since defending his gestures, the organization has criticized Musk for incidents that have included his Grok AI chatbot praising nazism and calling itself “MechaHitler”.

In another incident from 2023, Musk faced widespread criticism after he endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory on X that Jewish communities push “hatred against Whites”. Greenblatt praised Musk days later, however, after the billionaire posted that the pro-Palestinian slogan “From the river to the sea” would violate X’s content moderation policies. The incident led to an uproar among staff and the head of the ADL’s Center for Technology and Society, Yael Eisenstat, resigning over the disagreement.

Even MAGA's "FAKES NEWS" is Angry at MAGA Hypocrisy on Michigan Murderer

Fox Host Calls Out Team Trump ‘Hypocrisy’ Over MAGA Gunman
William Vaillancourt
Tue, September 30, 2025

Fox News host Jessica Tarlov criticized the Trump administration for avoiding mentioning the apparent right-wing beliefs of Sunday’s church shooter in Michigan.

Authorities said 40-year-old Thomas Sanford drove his truck into the front door of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, started shooting, and then set the building on fire. Sanford killed four people, and then was killed by officers at the scene.

A Google Maps street view from June shows a Trump sign outside Sanford’s nearby home. In a picture posted on social media in 2019, Sanford wore a Trump 2020 shirt with the line “Make Liberals Cry Again.” Additionally, Democratic consultant Mark Grebner said Sanford in 2020 signed a petition to outlaw an abortion procedure and in 2021 signed another to repeal Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s pandemic-related authority.

On The Five, Tarlov said that the public comments in this case by Donald Trump and other top administration officials differed from the aftermath of other shootings.

“If a leftist or someone had killed someone and had a Dark Brandon flag or a Biden-Harris flag, you don’t think that Kash Patel—that would’ve been the first thing he would’ve said?" Tarlov said, referring to the FBI director, who last week posted a photo of an apparent anti-ICE message on a bullet casing after the Dallas detention center shooting.

“The hypocrisy is astounding,” she went on, adding moments later: “When the shoe is on the other foot and you can’t demonize the left for this one, they say nothing. ‘Oh, it was just about anti-Christian bias.’ It was a Christian, by the way, killing other Christians.”

Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social shortly after the shooting that it “appears to be yet another targeted attack on Christians in the United States of America.” Vice President JD Vance, meanwhile, wrote in a brief post on X: “Just an awful situation in Michigan. FBI is on the scene and the entire administration is monitoring things. Say a prayer for the victims and first responders.” Neither have since had anything to say on those social media platforms about the suspect’s support for Trump.

The White House did not immediately respond to a Daily Beast inquiry Monday.

Also on The Five, Tarlov addressed a study about “left-wing violence” that some on the right—like White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson—have misinterpreted in order to attack Democrats.

“The right was gleefully tweeted it, ignoring the fact that the right-wing violence was much larger than the left-wing violence, which is the truth about it,” Tarlov said, referring to new findings from the Center for Strategic & International Studies published by Axios.

Tarlov also addressed complaints from the right—and from Sen. John Fetterman—urging against calling others “fascists.” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and Trump himself, Tarlov reminded Fox viewers, have done so many times over.

But Jesse Watters claimed that his side doesn’t have a problem with rhetoric.

“We’re not inciting people to go kill Mormons, like you’re inciting people to attack ICE, like you’re inciting people to attack Republicans. That doesn’t happen. And if you look in the inner cities, ‘Democrats’ are slaughtering each other, day after day after day, and you don’t say anything about that,” he claimed.

“You asked this question, ‘Does the base want people to die?’” Watters went on, paraphrasing co-host Lawrence Jones’ prompt. ”Yeah! Did you see the poll where it was like 20 percent of Democrats said they believed in political assassinations? Did you watch the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing? I mean, everybody was clapping on campus!”

Watters may have been referring to a YouGov poll from Sept. 10—the day of Kirk’s murder—finding that a higher percentage of self-identified liberals than conservatives said that it can “sometimes be justified” for “citizens to resort to violence in order to achieve political goals.” That question, however, did not mention assassinations specifically.

White US-Born West Virginia Man Rapes 5-Year old Girl

Man kidnapped and sexually assaulted 5-year-old girl in Taylor County, police say
Joey Rather
Mon, September 29, 2025 

GRAFTON, W.Va. (WBOY) — A Grafton man has been arrested and is facing charges after officers say that he kidnapped and sexually assaulted a young girl in the woods of Taylor County.

According to a criminal complaint, on Sept. 26, officers responded to West Main Street in Grafton near Grafton Manor after the callers reported that their child had been taken out of the yard of their home. The parents said that they had the girl back, but that they had found her at an apartment across the street with two men.

Clinton Beavers

When officers arrived on the scene, they spoke with the child, a 5-year-old girl, as well as her parents. The mother told officers that the victim had previously mentioned that one of the suspects “said that he was my dad.” The victim also gave a description of the suspect, later identified as Clinton Beavers, 44, of Grafton, officers said.

While speaking with the victim, officers also learned that Beavers “physically picked up the child and carried her” and that despite the victim telling him to put her down, Beavers instead told her to “be quiet” and carried her “across the street and into the ‘forest,'” the complaint said. At that point, the victim said that Beavers “took her pants off and pulled his pants down and ‘touched her.'” The victim said the next thing she remembered was when she was “running and yelling for help.”

Following the interview, the victim was taken to Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown for a Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SANE), the complaint said. Officers then spoke with witnesses outside Grafton Manor, who said they saw a girl run from the woods behind the building and call for help before she found and ran to her mother.

Officers said they confirmed the witness statements using camera footage and also learned that once the victim ran to her mother, they saw Beavers exit the Grafton Manor building and “run off into the woods.” Officers noted that Beavers matched the previous description of the suspect.

The SANE examiner told officers that the examination found evidence of the victim being assaulted, the complaint said.

The victim also told the examiner that the assault took place at a location that had gray walls, but wasn’t inside a building. Officers noted that a nearby cove with 10-foot-high cinder block walls and electrical meters matched this description, the complaint said.

At around 1:15 a.m., Beavers was found and picked up by officers after they obtained a search warrant for his blood, as well as swabs of his mouth, penis and under his fingernails. Beavers was then taken to the Grafton Police Department for questioning, where officers said that he was “very evasive in answering,” saying multiple times that he “didn’t want to talk about what happened.”

Beavers has been charged with kidnapping and first-degree sexual assault. He is being held in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail on no bond.

Mexican Evangelical Megachurch in L.A. Follows US Evangelical "Teachings"

Evangelicals are very good at fooling credulous imbeciles into buying their salvation from Jesus by giving money to their megachurch.

But they are also very good at bigotry. They all claim virtuous admission of sin and family values, they all say they seek penance from Jesus, and they all blackmail their credulous imbecilic faithful by proposing salvation in exchange for money and submission to American cultural and economic imperialism. Contrary to Jesus's "povery and humility", the Evangelicals are regressing into Catholic backwardness. Didn't the protestant reform movement arise out of the Catholic Church's selling of indulgences (i.e. guaranteed access to paradise with a prime seat next to Jesus himself for a fee?). That is exactly how these megachurches become so wealthy: They rob their "worshippers" - often poor people in the global south - blind with promises of salvation.

Behind the glitter, the loud music and the raising of hands, Evangelicals also share Trump and Epstein's wonderful secrets: Sex with minors, adultery, sex with prostitutes and porn actresses... They can't help it: God made them that way.

That is how you do business the American way, even if you are a Mexican in Los Angeles. The massive conversions of Latin American Catholics to the Evangelical cult is an essential component of ensuring US dominance in the respective countries of Latin and South America. The rise of the criminal former president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, is in large part attributed to his and millions of Brazilians' conversion to US evangelicalism. What did Bolsonaro contribute to Brazil? Fraud, cheating, coup d'etat, destruction of the environment in favor of American corporations, etc.. Thank God he is in prison now, unlike his US alter ego Trump who is running US democracy to the ground.

Leaders of Mexican megachurch led a sprawling sex-trafficking enterprise, US prosecutors allege

Since its inception nearly 100 years ago, La Luz del Mundo Church has been a family affair even as it spread from Mexico to the US and around the world.

Eusebio “Aaron” Joaquín Gonzalez, who founded the Guadalajara-based Christian church, was succeeded by his son, Samuel Joaquín Flores, upon his death in 1964.

When Samuel died in 2014, his son, Naasón Joaquín García, assumed power. La Luz del Mundo now reportedly operates in all 50 US states and approximately the same number of countries, boasting 5 million members worldwide.

However, new filings in Manhattan federal court have alleged that La Luz’s patriarchs passed down much more than leadership at the helm of this evangelical megachurch.

A recently unsealed indictment charges Naasón – and five other defendants, including his mother – in a sprawling sex-trafficking conspiracy. Prosecutors allege that each generation carried out a “deeply disturbing tradition” of abuse against vulnerable devotees.

“The defendants engaged in a racketeering enterprise that exploited the LLDM Church and persisted for decades to facilitate the systemic sexual abuse of children and women – including the creation of photos and videos of sadistic child sexual abuse,” prosecutors said in announcing the charges.

Eva García de Joaquín, Samuel’s wife and Naasón’s mother, “groomed for her husband’s sexual abuse and directly herself sexually abused minors and young women” for years, prosecutors also said.

Naasón, who is serving a state-level sentence in California for the sexual abuse of minors, was brought to New York City to face these charges. He pleaded not guilty on Tuesday.

The alleged culture of abuse started with Aaron and continued by his descendants. He, Samuel, and Naasón tricked girls and young women by telling them they could get a “special” blessing by serving them. This frequently included sexual activity, prosecutors said.

Church doctrine set the stage for abuse. The church leader was known as an “Apostle”. Members were told that the sole way to reach eternal salvation was “to follow the teachings of the Apostle”, prosecutors said.

They were also warned that “God will punish and eternally damn anyone who doubts the Apostle, fails to follow the Apostle’s teachings, or defies the Apostle.”

As the church’s Apostle, Samuel abused “numerous” girls and women. Samuel’s actions “served as a model” for his Naasón – who is still the church’s Apostle. Naasón’s victims include the daughters of girls and women his father abused, prosecutors allege.

Samuel couldn’t carry out this abuse without the help of a coterie of women. His wife, Eva, allegedly helped “to identify girls and women for sexual abuse and to ‘groom’ them … by exploiting their ages and vulnerabilities.”

Eva set the stage for one victim’s abuse by “slowly exposing her to sexually explicit reading material and pornography, which was strictly forbidden according to the doctrine propagated by Samuel”. When the girl was around 16, Eva allegedly helped Samuel assault her, prosecutors claim.

All the while, they allegedly used church coffers as their personal bank to fund abuse. Naasón allegedly used members’ donations on masks, costumes, and sex toys to make child sexual abuse images. He also told others to use this money, dubbed “love offerings”, to buy cleaning supplies meant for eliminating evidence of abuse.

The family also bankrolled a high-rolling lifestyle with “love-offerings”, buying “luxury cars, watches, designer clothing, and first-class travel around the world”. Samuel and Eva allegedly took advantage of congregants free labor to build a sprawling home in Los Angeles, California.

“The house was adorned with so many luxurious items, such as gold leaf lining the house’s molding, that LLDM Church members refer to it as the ‘Versace’ house,” prosecutors said.

When federal agents searched Naasón and Eva’s adjacent homes on 10 September, they found still more evidence of wealth – including more than $1m in US currency as well as Canadian dollars and Euros. They allege to have also found “numerous” gold pieces and coins.

Eva’s house even featured a “trap door hidden underneath a bed”, court papers contend. The alleged trap door gave way to an underground area with a safe that contained a cache of $220,000 and jewellry.

Prosecutors pointed to Eva’s apparent wealth in paperwork arguing against her release on bail. Witnesses told authorities that there are hundreds of thousands in US dollars “hidden beneath” La Luz’s churches in Mexico. And with her access to multiple properties abroad, Eva “could comfortably live in hiding should she flee”, prosecutors said.

Naasón and Eva both face charges that carry a maximum life sentence, including racketeering conspiracy and sex-trafficking conspiracy.

Neither Naasón nor Eva’s attorneys could immediately be reached. Alan Jackson, Naasón’s defense lawyer in Los Angeles, previously told NPR: “We categorically deny these charges.”

Jackson also said: “We reject the grotesque portrait painted by the government and its allies.”

Ariana Grande's Questions

“i want to check in with trump voters. i have one very genuine question.

it’s been 250 days.

now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed, now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all ― has your life gotten better?

have your groceries gotten cheaper? has your health insurance premium gone down? has your work/life balance improved? can you take a vacation yet? are you happier?

has the widespread suffering of others paid off for you in the way he promised it would, or are you still waiting?”

Ariana Grande advanced a provocative list of questions for Trump voters. Instagram

“Could someone explain which crimes get you deported and which ones get you elected President? It’s so confusing.”

FAKES NEWS's Jesse Watters Incites Violence Against UN Headquarters

The UN should move out of New York and relocate to Geneva, Switzerland. Trump's xenophobic and violent backers in FAKES NEWS are threatening to blow up the UN building or gas it. Some MAGA moron out there - and there's millions of them - could leap into action under the incitement of FAKES NEWS. Trump has transformed the US into a very uncivilized and dangerous place to be for people from backgrounds that are "alien" to the dense autistic numskull conservatives form the American boonies.

FAKES NEWS has given us the scintillating Pete "Warrior" Hegseth and other luminaries of the MAGA world. Jesse Watters is hoping for a post in the Trump administration, so he is ramping up the filth. But then, he apologizes in secret: He doesn't want to upset the MAGA morons who watch his show.

Jesse Watters reportedly apologized to the United Nations for the shocking comments he made on Fox News about needing to "bomb" or "gas" the U.N. headquarters

Following President Trump's U.N. visit on Sept. 23, during which he was inconvenienced by a frozen escalator and stalled teleprompter, Watters characterized the malfunctions as an "insurrection" against the president that warranted retaliation

The U.N. then got in touch with Fox News to express concerns about Watters' remarks, which led to a behind-the-scenes apology

Fox News host Jesse Watters reportedly apologized after calling for the United Nations' New York City headquarters to be "bombed" or "gassed" for inconveniencing President Donald Trump during his recent U.N. visit.

U.N. spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said on Friday that Watters had privately apologized to U.N. global communications chief Melissa Fleming after the organization contacted Fox News with concerns about the violent remarks, Reuters reported.

"There is nothing funny or ironic in calling for the bombing, the gassing, the destruction of this building," Dujarric told reporters, according to Reuters. "That kind of language is unacceptable."

"We know painfully the reality of what happens when threats are made against the U.N. We lost friends in Baghdad. I personally walked through the rubble of the building in Algiers where the U.N. was bombed. Our colleagues in Abuja were also bombed," he added.

PEOPLE has reached out to Fox News for comment.

Alexi J. Rosenfeld/Getty - Donald and Melania Trump look scared after an escalator freezes at the U.N. headquarters on Sept. 23

Ahead of the president's address at the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, Sept. 23, an escalator froze just after he and first lady Melania Trump stepped onto it, forcing them to walk up the steps.

While co-hosting The Five later that day, Watters accused U.N. staffers of "sabotaging" the escalator, as well as a teleprompter that went dark during Trump's speech, characterizing the malfunctions as "an insurrection."

U.N. officials, however, have said that the stopped escalator was triggered by the misstep of a cameraman traveling with the American delegation, and that the White House was in charge of operating the teleprompter.

"What we need to do is either leave the U.N. or we need to bomb it," Watters, 47, said on The Five, to chuckles from his colleagues. "[The U.N. headquarters] is in New York, though, right? Could be some fallout there. Maybe gas it?"

"Let's not do that," co-host Dana Perino, 53, warned off camera.

"Don't gas it. Okay, but we need to destroy it. Maybe can we demolish the building? Have everybody leave and then we'll demolish the building," Watters continued. "No, this is absolutely unacceptable, and I hope they get to the bottom of it, and I hope they really injure, emotionally, the people that did it."

During Trump's speech on Tuesday, he opened by criticizing the U.N. itself.

"Empty words don't solve wars... A bad escalator and a bad teleprompter is all I got from the United Nations," he said.

On the topic of immigration, Trump bragged, "I'm really good at this stuff" before bluntly telling those gathered, "Your countries are going to hell."

Pete Hegseth is crumbling under the pressure of leading the Pentagon.

The defense secretary—who prefers the moniker “Secretary of War”—is being described by staffers as “manic,” erupting into fits of rage and tumultuous tirades, the Daily Mail reported on Monday.

While he has reportedly always been temperamental, two staffers claim the former Fox News star’s mental state has reached new, frenzied heights after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk earlier this month.

They said Hegseth is becoming increasingly “obsessed” with his own security and exhibits frantic behavior, such as fidgeting and pacing during meetings.

“There’s a manic quality about him. Or let me rephrase, an even more manic quality, which is really saying something,” an insider told the outlet.

“Dude is crawling out of his skin,” another source said.

The sources cited Hegseth’s increasingly erratic demands that have played out in public—most notably his recent order that every military official above the rank of one-star general fly in for a meeting in Virginia on Tuesday, even if stationed abroad.

The gathering is being described as a “pep rally,” where Hegseth will address military standards and the so-called “warrior ethos,” multiple people familiar with the planned event told The Washington Post.

Meanwhile, Hegseth has introduced sweeping new guidelines restricting press access at his rebranded “Department of War.” According to the Mail, reporters now require express approval from the department to publish any information gathered at the Pentagon, and are forbidden from accessing most of the building without an escort.

Journalists must also sign compliance forms pledging to protect “sensitive information” and will lose their credentials if they violate the new rules.

When the crackdown was first announced, the Pentagon Press Association issued a blistering statement calling it “a direct attack on the freedom of the press and America’s right to know what its military is doing.”

Hegseth, 45, responded on X:

“The ‘press’ does not run the Pentagon—the people do,” he began. “The press is no longer allowed to roam the halls of a secure facility. Wear a badge and follow the rules—or go home.”

Also under scrutiny are Hegseth’s extensive personal security demands, which, according to the paper, are now straining the Army agency responsible for protecting him. The Army’s Criminal Investigation Division (CID) has reportedly pulled agents away from criminal probes in order to safeguard Hegseth’s residences in Minnesota, Tennessee, and Washington, D.C.

Sources told the Mail that those security measures have, in part, been driven by Hegseth’s wife, former Fox News producer Jennifer Rauchet Hegseth, whose requests for protection go “far beyond” what’s been granted to other Trump administration officials.

“That warrior persona, he’s spooked,” they said.

When approached for comment, the Pentagon directed the Daily Beast to a statement spokesman Sean Parnell wrote to the Daily Mail: ”[We] receive all kinds [of] outrageous and untrue requests, but this might be the stupidest request we have received to date. You may be the least informed ‘journalist’ to ever report on the Pentagon. Your entire story is completely false.”

Hegseth’s lawyer, Timothy Parlatore, also slammed the Mail story in an email to the Daily Beast. “The Daily Mail published a fictional essay that fails to meet any journalistic standards,” it reads. “The article contains publicly debunked claims, ‘sources’ that are fabricated, and a refusal to publish the statement provided by the Department spokesperson. Daily Mail should investigate and suspend the writer.”

White S. Carolina MAGA Family-Values State Rep Peddles Child Porn

MAGA Republicans from the backward pro-slavery secessionist southern state of South Carolina have the uncanny ability of upholding godly Christian conservative family values while engaging in child pronography. Evangelical Christians have long shed aside the fundamentals of the Christian religion, and have essentially become pagans who believe in greed, wealth, and xenophobia. 

Love your neighbor? Bullshit, they say.

But they still value one of Jesus's teachings, "Let the children come to me", albeit for a different reason, although former MAGA Rep. May was not interested in trans children because they confused his God-given libido.

Ex-Republican South Carolina House member admits to distributing hundreds of child sex abuse videos

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Former Republican South Carolina Rep. RJ May admitted in court Monday that he sent hundreds of videos of children being sexually abused to people across the country on social media.

May pleaded guilty to what prosecutors in court papers called a “five-day child pornography spree” in the spring of 2024.

May, who resigned earlier this year, is accused of using the screen name “joebidennnn69” to exchange 220 different files of toddlers and young children involved in sex acts on the Kik social media network, according to court documents that graphically detailed the videos.

“Bear with me. This is very hard to read,” U.S. Attorney Bryan Stirling said as he haltingly read a brief description of each video for television reporters outside of court since cameras aren't allowed in federal courtrooms.

May, 38, pleaded guilty to five counts of distributing the videos and faces five to 20 years in prison on each charge. He will have to register as a sex offender and could be fined up to $250,000, according to his plea agreement.

The five counts represented the worst videos May shared, Stirling said.

Felony convictions bar May from voting or having a weapon

The felony convictions means the political consultant and National Rifle Association member cannot vote, hold public office, carry a gun or serve on a jury the rest of his life.

May's sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 14 — the second day of the South Carolina legislature's 2026 session.

The evidence against May included logs of his laptop and cellphone use, showing he was uploading and downloading the child sexual abuse videos at the same time he was emailing work files, making phone calls, doing web searches and messaging someone on Kik asking for “Bad moms. Bad dads. Bad pre teens.”

May mostly spent Monday's hourlong hearing answering the judge's questions. At the end, when Judge Cameron McGowan Currie asked May if he had anything else he wanted to say, May answered, “not at this time, your honor.”

May changed his mind about pleading guilty after hearing.

May changed his mind and decided to plead guilty just hours after a Wednesday pretrial hearing in which he acted as his own attorney.

During Wednesday's hearing, May made arguments to the judge to throw out the warrant used to search his home, laptop and mobile devices. She denied May's request just hours after prosecutors filed documents detailing May's plea on Friday.

Prosecutors showed May used his phone to upload and download videos through his cell network and home wireless network and also showed him charts explaining in stark, factual ways what was on each video May is charged with distributing.

May also tried to keep out any evidence about whether he used a fake name to travel to Colombia three times. Prosecutors said they found videos on his laptop of him allegedly having sex on the trips. A Homeland Security agent testified the women appeared to be underage and were paid. U.S. agents have not been able to locate the women.

May admitted to using the fake name Monday in court but was not asked about the videos.

May was a rising Republican political force in South Carolina

May was in his third term in the South Carolina House and was attacking fellow Republicans to go in a more conservative direction before he resigned.

“We as legislators have an obligation to insure that our children have no harm done to them,” May said in January 2024 on the House floor during a debate on transgender care for minors.

After his election in 2020, he helped create the Freedom Caucus. He also helped the campaigns of Republicans running against GOP House incumbents.

Trump Suggests Hollywood's Golden Trash is Being Stolen by Other Nations

Most Hollywood "Assembly Chain" corporate movie production sucks with endless cheap, gory, and macabre violence and brutality. And the jackass thinks other nations are "stealing" this goose that lays golden eggs. Yes, Donald, go ahead and shove a tariff up the goose's arse.

President Trump Renews Threat of 100% Tariffs on Films Made Outside the U.S.: ‘Our Movie Making Business Has Been Stolen’ Just Like ‘Stealing Candy From a Baby’
Rebecca Rubin
Mon, September 29, 2025


Getty Images - President Donald Trump has renewed his threat of implementing tariffs on films produced outside the United States.

“Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing ‘candy from a baby.’ California, with its weak and incompetent Governor, has been particularly hard hit,” he wrote Monday on his social media platform Truth Social. “Therefore, in order to solve this long time, never ending problem, I will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

It’s unclear what reignited the proclamation, but Trump made a similar declaration in May because he deemed foreign productions a “national security threat” to the American movie industry, adding that they not only draw filmmakers out to other markets but also bring “messaging and propaganda” into the United States. There was uncertainty at the time about whether the president had the authority to institute such a tariff or how it would be implemented.

Film and television production in recent years has been decamping from Hollywood to shoot in locations that offer lucrative tax incentives, like the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, which makes filming less expensive. But some movies are filmed internationally because the story takes place in other parts of the world — and directors like Denis Villeneuve (“Dune”) and Christopher Nolan (the upcoming “Odyssey”) prefer to shoot on location rather than soundstages.

Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, whom Trump referenced in his Truth Social post, has pushed recently to increase the state’s tax incentive program, including film credits, to boost production in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Newsom for months has been relentlessly trolling Trump on social media over his policies and proclamations, with the governor regularly making posts that mimic the nature of the president’s unfiltered (and often all caps) tone.

“It’s following his example,” Newsom said at a press conference over the summer.

Gotta Admit it: Trump is Not Well

Time to invoke the 25th Amendment: It provides the procedures for replacing the president or vice president in case of death, removal, resignation or incapacitation.  

I think Trump is going to get weirder and weirder as he knows his time in office is not indefinite. So to accelerate his "achievements" (because he doesn't have all the time in the world) he gradually becomes more and more unhinged, which recycles in his mind in a vicious circle of self-feeding megalmaniacal descent into dementia.

The next three years are going to be the most Twilight Zone in American history. Sadly, it is not fiction.

Anyone with courage has to acknowledge Trump isn't well. And he's getting worse. 
Rex Huppke, USA TODAY
Sun, September 28, 2025

An unhinged rant about Tylenol. Baffling conspiracies about an escalator. Deluded self-praise. Two-decade-old gripes over losing a construction project bid, droned about on the world stage as if nothing could be more important.

That all came from President Donald Trump in one week, a week that should alarm us and spotlight one simple fact: He is desperate and declining.

The 79-year-old president, on Sept. 22, launched into a wildly rambling and profoundly dishonest diatribe alongside Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the two alleged – falsely, according to medical experts – that Tylenol use during pregnancy causes autism.

Trump is repeating himself and speaking incoherently

 

President Donald Trump, with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at the White House, delivers remarks linking autism to childhood vaccines and to the use of popular pain medication Tylenol on Sept. 22, 2025.

Over and over again – more than 10 times – Trump gruffly repeated: “Don’t take Tylenol!”

He showed the world he can’t read or pronounce the word “acetaminophen.”

And he added, incoherently: “Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen.”

Trump claimed that people in Cuba “have essentially no autism” because they can’t afford Tylenol. That is both ludicrous and utterly wrong.

Had an older president like Joe Biden babbled like this there would have been immediate calls to airlift him to a sanatorium. For Trump, it was the tip of the iceberg.

An off-the-rails UN speech showed Trump's worsening state


President Donald Trump addresses the United Nations General Assembly in New York City on Sept. 23, 2025.

The next day, Sept. 23, Trump was at the United Nations delivering a disjointed and bizarrely long speech that included:

Complaints about a U.N. construction project he lost the bid for in the early 2000s, including this aggrieved-old-man bluster: “I realized that they did not know what they were doing when it came to construction, and that their building concepts were so wrong, and the product that they were proposing to build was so bad and so costly.” Clearly, the No. 1 issue the world is facing.

Criticism of green energy projects and ludicrous claims about climate change being a con, including whatever this word salad is: “We have a border, strong, and we have a shape, and that shape doesn’t just go straight up. That shape is amorphous when it comes to the atmosphere. ... We have very clean air.” 

It’s not clear at this point that English is Trump’s first language.

A repeat of his preposterous claim that he has ended seven wars, along with another pathetic plea for a Nobel Peace Prize: “Everyone says that I should get the Nobel Peace Prize for each one of these achievements.”

And then there was an insult to the nations gathered at the U.N.: “I’m really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell.”

Is Trump losing impulse control and growing more paranoid?

 

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump arrive at the United Nations in New York City on Sept. 23, 2025. Just after they got on the escalator, it lurched to a halt. The first lady waited a few seconds before walking the rest of the way up, followed by the president and administration officials.

By Sept. 24, Trump was in full conspiracy mode, claiming that during his visit to the U.N., he was the victim of “triple sabotage.” It started when the escalator he was on stopped, something the U.N. said was caused by a videographer ahead of Trump accidentally tripping an emergency stop button. The details of this weak, I’m-always-the-victim nonsense aren’t really important, but do take time to read part of the hysterical nonsense the president posted online:

“A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday ‒ Not one, not two, but three very sinister events! First, the escalator going up to the Main Speaking Floor came to a screeching halt. It stopped on a dime. It’s amazing that Melania and I didn’t fall forward onto the sharp edges of these steel steps, face first. It was only that we were each holding the handrail tightly or, it would have been a disaster. … Then, as I stood before a Television crowd of millions of people all over the World, and important Leaders in the Hall, my teleprompter didn’t work. It was stone cold dark. I immediately thought to myself, ‘Wow, first the escalator event, and now a bad teleprompter. What kind of a place is this?’ I then proceeded to make a Speech without a teleprompter, which kicked in about 15 minutes later. The good news is the Speech has gotten fantastic reviews. Maybe they appreciated the fact that very few people could have done what I did.” [Iznogood: No one in the entire recorded history of humanity was ever able to deliver a speech without a teleprompter, except Donald Trump.]

Hearing such blather in public would lead you to slowly walk away from a person, making sure you have a clear path to the exit.

Lawsuits over jokes, targeting political enemies – it's not sane behavior

Former FBI Director James Comey testifies in 2017 in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee in Washington, DC.

In and among all this, Trump was: raging about late-night host Jimmy Kimmel returning after a brief suspension and suggesting he – the president – might sue ABC; openly siccing the Department of Justice on his political enemies and using a handpicked U.S. attorney to indict James Comey; and claiming he has “the highest poll numbers I’ve ever had,” which is true only if you live in a pro-Trump fantasy land.

This is madness. Democrats, pundits, corporate leaders, news organizations and anyone with a platform need to have the courage to come out and state clearly what we’re witnessing: Trump is often not making any sense or maintaining a coherent train of thought, he is acting recklessly and not controlling his worst impulses, and he is, transparently, getting worse.

Trump goes back to Tylenol and shows he can't even spell right

To wrap up a week of embarrassment and stupidity, Trump – who seems to suddenly think he’s a physician – returned to Truth Social Sept. 26 and again started ranting about Tylenol and his recommendations for vaccines: “Pregnant Women, DON’T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON’T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON, BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS! President DJT.”

All that crazy, AND he misspelled “hepatitis.”

The man isn’t well, folks. Let’s stop pretending this isn’t a problem.

Considering a Career in Computer Science? Think Again. AI is Killing the Field

Cannibalism in the Tech World: Computer-begotten robots are destroying their computer-operating parents

 

Leading computer science professor says 'everybody' is struggling to get jobs: 'Something is happening in the industry'
Brent D. Griffiths
Sun, September 28, 2025

UC Berkeley professor Hany Farid says computer science students are struggling to find jobs.

Farid said Berkeley grads used to have "the run of the place. That is not happening today."

The advice Farid gives to students about how to stay ahead has also changed.

Computer science went from a future-proof career to an industry in upheaval in a shockingly small amount of time.

"For people like your son, by the way, who four years ago were promised, go study computer science, it's going to be a great career. It is future-proof — that changed in four years," UC Berkeley professor Hany Farid said during a recent episode of Nova's "Particles of Thought" podcast. "That is astonishing."

It's too easy to just blame AI, though, Farid said.

"Something is happening in the industry," he said. "I think it's a confluence of many things. I think AI is part of it. I think there's a thinning of the ranks that's happening, that's part of it, but something is brewing."

Farid and the host, astrophysicist Hakeem Oluseyi, discussed how Oluseyi's son, a senior studying computer science, is struggling to find a job. Farid says he's seeing the same thing unfold at Berkeley, home to one of the top CS programs.

"Our students typically had five internship offers throughout their first four years of college," Farid said. "They would graduate with exceedingly high salaries, multiple offers. They had the run of the place. That is not happening today. They're happy to get one job offer."

The debate over the future of CS is playing out around Silicon Valley. The rise of vibecoding and AI's ability to create software by itself has only exacerbated these concerns. OpenAI chairman Bret Taylor has said that students learn concepts in computer science that go beyond mere coding languages.

Farid, one of the world's experts on deepfake videos, said he is often asked for advice. He said what he tells students has changed.

"What I used to tell people is you want a broad education," Farid said. "You should know about physics, and language, and history, and philosophy, but then you have to go deep, deep — like deep, deep into one thing, become really, really good at one thing. Now, I think I'm telling people to be good at a lot of different things because we don't know what the future holds."

Like many in the AI space, Farid said that those who use breakthrough technologies will outlast those who don't.

"I don't think AI is going to put lawyers out of business, but I think lawyers who use AI will put those who don't use AI out of business," he said. "And I think you can say that about every profession."

Michigan Mass Murderer of Mormons is a former Marine Who Loves Trump

DOMESTIC TERRORISTS ARE BY FAR FROM THE RADICAL EXTREMIST RIGHT OF DONALD TRUMP.

THEY ARE "EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS" WHO HATE CHRISTIANS WHO ARE NOT LIKE THEM, LIKE CATHOLICS AND MORMONS.

As I said in a previous post, Trump's Evangelicals hate Mormons and refer to them as a cult [https://lebanoniznogood.blogspot.com/2025/09/another-day-in-american-way-of-life.html].

Now it's becoming clear that the Michigan shooter and arsonist who attacked the Mormon Church in Grand Blanc, Michigan is a TRUMP MAGA SUPPORTER. He fits the profile: White, US-born, not a migrant, not an immigrant, a former military who was radicalized by Donald Trump's incendiary language. When Trump says he "hates his enemies", many morons in the MAGA base take that as a license to go kill those perceived enemies, and using their "God-given right to own and use a machine gun", they go and actually kill innocent people they interpreted to be the "enemy" in Trump's words.

WHO THEN IS USING VIOLENCE TO SCORE POLITICAL POINTS?

Then there is the question of why many of these mass killers are veterans? Trained in violence, owners of guns, and slightly off in their minds. It doesn't take a mass shooting like the one in Michigan to understand that the bulk of MAGA morons are prone to violence and "slightly off in their minds" because they listen to the Great Mass Manipulator, Donald Trump.

Both the Catholic School and church in Minnesota AND the Mormon Church in Michigan are deemed ENEMIES OF TRUMP'S EVANGELICALS.

Read Fox News's Coverage of the killer and notice how they omit the fact that he was a MAGA lover of Trump [https://www.foxnews.com/us/who-thomas-jacob-sanford-what-we-know-about-suspected-michigan-church-gunman]

Listen also to what Trump's Bimbo Spokesperson Karolyn Leavitt says (even as Trump incited more violence by saying that the attack was "Anti-Christian"). How could it be when it is one of his own Evangelical Christians who is doing the killing?

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed the gunman who killed four worshippers and injured eight others at a Michigan church on Sunday “hated” people who belonged to the Mormon faith.

Speaking on Fox & Friends on Monday, when asked about the nature of the motive by co-host Lawrence Jones, without revealing whether there was a personal connection to that church community, Leavitt said FBI director Kash Patel told her that the assailant targeted members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints because of their faith.

“From what I understand based on my conversation with the FBI director, all they know right now is that this was an individual who hated people of the Mormon faith,” Leavitt said. “They are trying to understand more about this, how premeditated it was, how much planning went into it, whether he left a note, all of those questions are yet to be answered but certainly will be answered by the FBI.”

Mormon church gunman was Marine ‘who supported Trump’
Iona Cleave
Mon, September 29, 2025


Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, killed at least four people on Sunday after attacking a Mormon church in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan

The gunman who rammed his truck into a Mormon church and opened fire on worshippers was an Iraq war veteran who had previously shown support for Donald Trump.

Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, from suburban Michigan, killed at least four people in the attack on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township on Sunday.

Police are still combing through the wreckage after he set the building ablaze.

The ex-Marine was killed by police after he shot at least 10 people with an assault rifle in what the FBI described as an “act of targeted violence”. Authorities have yet to provide a motive.

Sanford, who also went by the name of Jake, graduated from a nearby high school in 2004 before joining the Marine Corps.

His recent political views remain unclear, but he was seen wearing a camouflage Trump 2020 campaign shirt, emblazoned with the words Make Liberals Cry Again, in a picture posted on social media in 2019.

An image of Sanford’s home, taken on Google Street View in June, showed a Trump-Pence sign attached to his garden fence.

Other images showed him to be an avid hunter, posing with killed deer and other game in the back of a silver truck that appeared similar to the one used to storm the church.

In 2016, he married a woman who had gone to the same high school, and they had a son.

According to a GoFundMe page from 2015, the family appealed for donations to help pay for the medical care of their son, now 10, who was born with congenital hyperinsulinism, a rare genetic disorder in which the pancreas releases too much insulin, forcing numerous surgeries and hospital stays.

“Don’t ever take having healthy kids for granted,” Sanford was quoted as saying in a local news article. “We are proud of our child. I spent four years in the Marine Corps and was in Iraq, and this is still the most unique thing to deal with.”

Ryan Lopez, a former classmate from Goodrich High School – 12 miles from the shooting site – said he had seen Sanford two weeks earlier at the gym, when nothing had seemed out of the ordinary.

“He was happy to see me, he just seemed normal,” Mr Lopez told The New York Times.

Sanford allegedly opened fire on the congregation at a Sunday service - Katy Kildee/Detroit News

On Sunday, a bomb squad deployed a robot, a drone and a tank-like vehicle outside Sanford’s home, while a police helicopter circled overhead. It is unclear if anything was found.

A neighbour, Randy Thronson, said Sanford would clear the snow off his neighbours’ driveways in the winter for free, but that they hadn’t spoken in two years, adding: “He seemed like a nice guy. Something must have happened, snapped somehow.”

Sanford served in the Marines for four years, rising to the rank of sergeant and receiving several medals. He was deployed to Iraq for seven months between 2007 and 2008 as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

While serving, he specialised in handling military vehicle equipment. He left the corps a few months after his deployment.

After the military, he appeared to have a series of different jobs including landscaping, snow removal and working as a truck driver for Coca Cola.

Investigators said it could take a while to determine why the proud American and family man had carried out the attack on the Mormon church. “We can’t come to those kinds of conclusions for some time,” Lt. Kim Vetter, of Michigan State Police, said on Sunday.

Sanford drove a pickup truck with two US flags strapped to its back into the side of the church at 10.25am local time.

He opened fire on the congregation during the Sunday service in the Flint suburb, police said. The gunman was killed eight minutes later by police in a gunfight in the church’s car park.

Two people were killed from gunshot wounds, and two bodies were later recovered from the debris of the burned-down church. Eight were wounded, one of whom was in critical condition.

Authorities said the attacker used an accelerant, believed to be gasoline, and set fire to the church deliberately. Some suspected explosive devices were found but it was unclear whether they were used to start the fire, they added.

After the killing, Mr Trump demanded that the “epidemic of violence in our country must end, immediately”.

Sunday’s attack came after a series of high-profile shootings, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the Right-wing activist, in Utah and a shooting at a Texas immigration facility last week.

Political divisions have grown deeper in the wake of the attacks, with Mr Trump launching a campaign targeting Left-wing groups he has accused of being “domestic terrorists”.

Last month, a mass shooting took place at a Catholic church and school in Minnesota, in which two children were killed while attending Mass, and several others were severely wounded.

Founded in 1830, the Mormon church, based in the western US state of Utah, considers itself a Christian body but bases its doctrines on the Book of Mormon, a text its followers say contains a fuller version of the words of Jesus Christ than that recorded in the Bible.

There are Mormon churches all over the world, with 17 million members globally.

How Trump Peddles Moronic & False Conspiracies to his Moronic Base

That is his MO. He probably doesn't believe in these stupid ideas, but he knows that his base does. So he pretends to endorse them just so he maintains a presence - and ultimately secures votes - in the MAGA base universe of backwoods idiots. He lies to them so they vote for him, but his real agenda is an altogther ballgame that his base might not like. The Epstein saga is such an example. 

Trump is a member of the billionaire elite that operates in a world of illegal activities that are prohibited to the general public but are secretly allowed for the members of the elite, as in the pedophilia and sex with underage girls that Epstein furnished to them. That elite world is not necessarily republican or democrat: The divisions within the general public do not apply to the elite, that dichotomy being useful only to confound the public and rile it up while they, those who control this country, do as they please.

Which explains why Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, who are far apart politically, are both members of the Epstein Club. That explains why Trump refuses to make public the Epstein files because they name him and many Republicans AS WELL AS many Democrats. His refusal to make the Epstein files available to the public is because he is protecting both himself and his Republican buddies AND his political enemies among the Democrats. 

But try convincing the morons of the MAGA base that this is the case!

Trump Posts and Deletes AI-Generated Fox News Report of Himself Touting Magic, Disease-Curing ‘Medbeds’ (Video)

The clip appeared to reference so-called medbeds, a frequent topic among far-right conspiracy theorists

Donald Trump posted, and then deleted, an AI-generated Fox News broadcast that appeared to tout so-called “medbeds” that can cure any disease and/or ailment — a conspiracy topic among the fringe far-right — Saturday night.

“Every American will soon receive their own medbed card,” the AI Trump said in the video. “With it, you’ll have guaranteed access to our new hospitals led by the top doctors in the nation, equipped with the most advanced technology in the world. These facilities are safe, modern, and designed to restore every citizen to full health and strength. This is the beginning of a new era in American healthcare.”

The video appeared to be a reference to the fringe conspiracy theory that posits that liberal billionaires have access to life-changing medical beds but are intentionally keeping the technology and beds from the public at large. Those who dabble in the theory also believe Trump will release the beds to the general population.

The New York Times credits The Patriot Party News, a far-right media platform, with introducing the conspiracy theory by way of John Baxter, who founded the company Anti-Aging Beds and self-published the book “The Med Bed Story — Restoring the Health of Humanity.”

(Baxter’s Anti-Aging Beds appear to have the support of actor Dennis Quaid, who featured the med beds on his series “Viewpoint with Dennis Quaid.”)

The tagline for the book reads: “This captivating book unveils the revolutionary potential of Med Bed technology, shedding light on the censored technologies of our past that hold the key to our well-being. Delve into the realms of detoxification, energy, frequency, vibrational medicine, and advanced electromagnetism modalities, as Baxter reveals the transformative power of these modalities in the quest to end human suffering. Join the movement and discover a new era of possibilities that will reshape the landscape of healthcare and bring hope for a brighter and healthier future.”

It’s unclear if Trump supports the medbed conspiracy theory, or if the post was shared as an attempt to fan the associated flames among a portion of far-right voters.

Newsom Trolls Trump Over Bizarre Magic Bed Conspiracy

“Trump is about to shut down the government and rip health care from 20 million Americans. What’s he doing? Posting AI-generated slop about ‘miracle hospital beds’ that cure all illness,” tweeted Newsom, 57. “DONALD TRUMP HAS LOST IT,” he added.

“Medbeds” is a far-right, QAnon conspiracy theory positing that the government has access to medical pods that can cure any disease and even regrow limbs. One sect believes that the government is using medbeds to keep JFK alive.

The video remained up for about 12 hours before getting deleted Sunday morning. It is unknown how Trump found the video and why he posted it. The White House has yet to comment on it.

Coincidentally, Newsom used AI to troll the president hours before Trump mysteriously posted the AI “Medbeds” video.

Earlier Saturday evening, the White House boosted a Daily Wire headline calling the looming government shutdown “Democrat-led.” The California governor used Grok, X’s AI tool, to point out that Republicans control all three branches of government, implying that they must be considered responsible for the shutdown.

The shutdown will go into effect on October 1st unless a bipartisan agreement on a budget is reached in Congress. Democrats want the budget to include a permanent extension of tax credits for Americans who are enrolled in Obamacare, as well as a roll back of the “Big, Beautiful Bill” Medicaid cuts.

“Cancel the cuts, lower the costs, save healthcare. Not complicated,” said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on the Democrats’ demands.

Newsom’s shot at Trump’s apparent AI gaffe caps off a week of headline-making trolls for the California governor. Since last Sunday, Newsom trolled the “escalatorgate" controversy from Trump’s visit to the UN, took a shot at border czar Tom Homan for his bribery scandal, and has infuriated Republicans by calling White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller a “fascist.”

Another Day in the American Way of Life: Mass Murder in Michigan

The mass shooting attacker and arsonist of the Mormon Church in Grand Blanc, Michigan, is a white US-born American, a former U.S. Marine who served in Iraq. 40-year old Thomas Jacob Sanford opened fire on a Mormon church service and set fire to the place of worship. Sanford served a stint in Okinawa, Japan, before serving in Iraq from August 2007 through March 2008 and had the rank of sergeant, according to the records. His military occupational specialty was organizational automotive mechanic and vehicle recovery operator.

Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye named Sanford as the lone gunman who shot 10 at the church and intentionally set fire to the structure. Renye said Sanford drove a vehicle into the church, exited the vehicle and shot several rounds. He is also believed to have intentionally set fire to the building. Michigan State Police Special Lt. Kim Vetter said it may take some time to determine his actual motive.

Four of the 10 people in the church have died, and police said earlier Sunday that they expect to find additional fatalities in the rubble of the church.

Sanford's family has a long history of military service, with his uncle having served in the Marines while his grandfather served in the Navy during World War II.

Sanford was a good neighbor who plowed his neighbors's driveways for free. He is a resident of Burton, Michigan, which is about eight miles from Grand Blanc Township, where the attack happened.

“Social media accounts believed to be connected to Sanford show he’s a family man, with a wife and young son."

Sources say “several improvised explosive devices” were found at the church, which a bomb squad is currently investigating. 

President Donald Trump, shortly after the shooting, said it “appears to be yet another targeted attack on Christians” in the U.S.

But there has been a long and brutal campaign by the Evangelical Americans, supporters of Trump, against the Mormons which are generally persecuted by US Protestants as being a "cult". Similarly, Evangelicals and other Radical Right Extremists, so-called "Christians" - who are Christians in name only - hate Catholics and other Christian denominations, not to mention their hatred of everyone else, Black African Americans, Jews, Muslims, etc. The history of the United States is peppered with the White Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASPs) persecuting and discriminating against immigrants who are not WASPs: Irish Catholics stand as the first wave of immigrants allowed in the country by the WASPs, not out of Christian love, but for the cheap labor they provide. "No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs" signs used to adorn the entrance to many public faccilities across the US.

The attack on the Mormon church comes a month after the deadly shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. While President Trump says he wants to focus more on anti-Christian attacks and bias, it is his own followers who spew the most hatred against anyone who is not a WASP.

 

Northwestern U Students Must First Be "Re-educated in Zionist Ideology" to Enroll

Even Northwestern's Jewish students refuse the "training".

Trump still cut $790 million from Northwestern University's research programs despite the university's totalitarian attempt to implement the Trump-imposed pro-Zionist propaganda "training". How low will some universities go to kiss the ring of  the dictator in order to lick the crumbs of dollars falling from his table?

At least 300 students have been prohibited from registering for classes at Northwestern University because they refused to watch a controversial antisemitism training video that they said was biased in favor of Israel, contained factual inaccuracies and could inflame campus tension over Gaza.

The university’s decision puts jobs, visas, stipends and health insurance at risk, students said during a press conference in Chicago on Friday morning, but those who spoke said they were still unwilling to do the training.

“The training is not just about silencing speech, but achieving consent so that we are complicit,” said Salma Moustafa, a PhD student in sociology. “Northwestern wants its student and faculty body to pretend it is not happening and instead consume propaganda that justifies the Israeli Zionist occupation project.”

Students were required to complete the training by mid-September to be able to register.

A university spokesperson said in a statement that the training was similar to those that are required for discrimination or harassment. “As with other mandatory student trainings, failure to complete this training can result in university action, including a registration hold,” the spokesperson said.

“Students are not required to agree with the training modules but must attest that they will abide by the student code of conduct, as well as the university’s policy on discrimination, harassment and sexual misconduct,” they added.

Universities across the US are requiring students to undergo controversial antisemitism trainings in response to Trump administration threats to pull funding for institutions that, in its view, fail to adequately address campus antisemitism. It is not clear how many other universities are requiring student participation. The Northwestern training included a video on antisemitism and another on anti-Arab bias.

Students objecting to the video say it equates criticism of Israel with antisemitism. At one point the narrator compares critics of Israel to former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke, and uses a controversial definition of antisemitism.

The video also states that Israel was founded “on British land” and refers to the occupied West Bank as “Judea and Samaria”, the biblical name controversially used for the region by the Israeli government.

The training module’s opponents at Northwestern, many of them Jewish, say the material does little to protect Jews. Instead, it “reinforces, rather than reduces, the proliferation of discriminatory bias in our communities”, students wrote in an open letter.

The Northwestern training was produced by the Jewish United Fund (JUF) , a pro-Israel advocacy group that Micol Bez, a student organizer, said has opposed a ceasefire. In a statement, the JUF defended the video.

”There is a critical difference between criticizing policies of the state of Israel versus questioning Israel’s right to exist – and demonizing Jewish students for their connections to Israel,” a spokesperson said.

The university emailed students in March to say that the implementation of the training “will adhere to federal policy including President Donald Trump’s 29 January executive order, ‘Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism’”.

Despite the university requiring students to undergo the training, the Trump administration still cut $790m in research funding.
