The perp, Cole Thomas Allen, did not come running around a corner toward the security cordon, as appeared to be the case in the unenhanced imagery. He emerged from a room (or hallway) opening up on the corridor about twenty feet back from the agents were gathered. There, he evidently readied his shotgun, a Mossberg Maverick, which he had smuggled in under his coat. It was equipped with a folding stock, which he needed to unfold and lock.
A K-9 agent (or cop – he was in uniform) stood in the doorway watching this procedure while doing absolutely nothing about it. His dog enters the room, but the agent brings him back out then turns and walks away. Cole Allen burst out and raced down the hall only a second later.
When Cole Allen appeared, several of the uniformed personnel standing against the wall, visible in the upper center, turned and fled a substantial distance down the corridor. This was visible in the original clip, but enhancement has given it a lot more significance.

ResultsGender-referred adolescents showed significantly higher psychiatric morbidity than controls both before (45.7% vs. 15.0%) and ≥ 2 years after referral (61.7% vs. 14.6%). Those referred after 2010 had greater psychiatric needs than earlier cohorts, both before (47.9% vs. 15.3%) and ≥ 2 years after (61.3% vs. 14.2%) referral. Among adolescents who underwent medical gender reassignment, psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up—rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender reassignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender reassignment. After adjusting for prior psychiatric treatment, all gender-referred adolescents had similarly elevated risks of psychiatric morbidity, with hazard ratios approximately three times higher than female controls and five times higher than male controls.
ConclusionSevere psychiatric morbidity is common among gender-referred adolescents and appears to be more prevalent in those referred after the recent surge in referrals. Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment.

He recently posted a photo depicting Trump as deceased with a caption that read "If Only,” just days after an assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.
Hamill wrote, "He should live long enough to witness his inevitable devastating loss in the midterms, be held accountable for his unprecedented corruption, impeached, convicted & humiliated for his countless crimes. Long enough to realize he’ll be disgraced in the history books, forevermore.”
"It’s one thing for him to have sneaked by the first time — when he got re-elected, that’s on us. That’s [what] I’m really ashamed of — because I always thought there are more decent Americans, honest Americans than there are others.”

Nonfarm payrolls rose by a seasonally adjusted 115,000 in April, down from the 185,000 created in an unusually strong March, but better than the 55,000 forecast.The unemployment rate held at 4.3%, further proof that the labor market has reached a point where only modest job creation is needed to keep the jobless level steady.Average hourly earnings came in lower than expected, increasing 0.2% for the month and 3.6% on an annual basis, compared with respective estimates for 0.3% and 3.8%.Following recent trends, healthcare led with 37,000 new positions, though multiple other sectors also saw gains.
Average hourly earnings, another closely watched metric of labor market health, came in lower than expected, increasing 0.2% for the month and 3.6% on an annual basis, compared with respective estimates for 0.3% and 3.8%.
However, the month also saw another drop in the labor force and a decline in tech-related jobs in the low-hire low-fire environment that has prevailed since the early part of 2025.
A broader measure that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time jobs for economic reasons rose to 8.2%, up 0.2 percentage point. The household survey, which the bureau uses to calculate the unemployment rate, showed a decline of 226,000 workers as the participation rate declined to 61.8%, the lowest since October 2021.

Stringer, the Labour MP, told The Telegraph: "I think it would be much better for him to set out a timetable.
"I think we might be in danger of getting somebody who’s no better. Without a policy debate to clarify where people are going, we could just have a ridiculous beauty contest.”
Ian Lavery, a former Labour chairman, warned that Sir Keir could "kill the Labour Party” if he remained its leader, telling BBC Radio 4 that "an organised withdrawal” would be the best course of action.
John McDonnell, a former shadow chancellor, and Jonathan Brash, the MP for Hartlepool, also called for a "timetable” for Sir Keir’s exit.
Labour is on course to receive its worst set of local election results in the party’s history, having already lost control of nine councils on Friday morning.

A confidential CIA analysis delivered to administration policymakers this week concludes that Iran can survive the U.S. naval blockade for at least three to four months before facing more severe economic hardship, four people familiar with the document said, a finding that appears to raise new questions about President Donald Trump’s optimism on ending the war.
The analysis by the U.S. intelligence community, whose secret assessments on Iran have often been more sober than the administration’s public statements, also found that Tehran retains significant ballistic missile capabilities despite weeks of intense U.S. and Israeli bombardment, three of the people familiar with it said.
Iran retains about 75 percent of its prewar inventories of mobile launchers and about 70 percent of its prewar stockpiles of missiles, a U.S. official said. The official said there is evidence that the regime has been able to recover and reopen almost all of its underground storage facilities, repair some damaged missiles and even assemble some new missiles that were nearly complete when the war began.

reason@reason"Our nation is not founded on a religion. It's not based on a common culture, even, or heritage. ... We're a creedal nation," Justice Neil Gorsuch tells@nickgillespieon The Reason Interview podcast.
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly that this great nation was founded — not by religionists — but by Christians . . . on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” — Patrick Henry
"Do not let anyone claim to be a true American who attempts to remove religion from politics.” —George Washington
"May every citizen in the army and in the country have a proper sense of Deity upon his mind and an impression of the declaration recorded in the Bible, ‘Him that honoreth Me, I will honor, but he that despiseth Me shall be lightly esteemed'” (I Samuel 2:20). — Samuel Adams
"We have no government armed with the power capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and true religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” — John Adams
"God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the Gift of God. That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.” — Thomas Jefferson
"he only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be aid in religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments. Without religion, I believe that learning does real mischief to the morals and principles of mankind.” — Benjamin Rush
"Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian Nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.” — John Jay
I could go on and on but you get the point; Gorsuch is wrong on his first point.
And he's wrong on point number two; the United States was founded as an ENGLISH nation and often appealed to "the rights of Englishmen" and it was this that led to independence.
William Blackstone elucidated those rights, and it was this that Jefferson and other Founding Fathers appealed to when writing the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. How can Gorsuch argue the U.S. is not about culture when the Founding Fathers themselves appealed to the English cultural traditions when creating this nation?
"We claim nothing but the liberty and privileges of Englishmen in the same degree, as if we had continued among our brethren in Great Britain." George Mason
Mason was echoed in 1873 by Supreme Court Justice Joseph P. Bradley asserted that the "rights of Englishmen" were a foundation of American law in his opinion on the 14th Amendment.
Bradley stated:
The people of this country brought with them to its shores the rights of Englishmen, the rights which had been wrested from English sovereigns at various periods of the nation's history"
Thomas Jefferson based the rights he said were being violated on rights granted in the Magna Carta and the fundamental rights of Englishmen. Yes, he universalized and Christianized it, but it came out of the Magna Carta and is what he meant by "these truths are self-evident." They are self-evident in the Anglo culture.
The Founders thought that culture was self-evident, that we were an ENGLISH nation and not, say, Islamic. Culture very much did matter to the Founders - it just wasn't an issue they had to address at that time so much.
As John Jay pointed out:
With equal pleasure I have as often taken notice that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people--a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence.
This country and this people seem to have been made for each other, and it appears as if it was the design of Providence, that an inheritance so proper and convenient for a band of brethren, united to each other by the strongest ties, should never be split into a number of unsocial, jealous, and alien sovereignties.
So clearly John Jay disagrees with Justice Gorsuch.
America is not founded on heritage so much; you don't have to be English to be American. But you do have to be part of the common culture and recognize the Judeo-Christian nature of America, and accept the fundamental rights of Englishmen as absolute. You cannot come here uninvited and demand America reject all that to make you comfortable.
Which is what Gorsuch's comment suggests. He appears to think illegal aliens can claim to be Americans just by showing up because it is our creed to give sanctuary and comfort.
This nation would never have been founded had the Founding Fathers knew that we would be overrun by non-European peoples who came here in violation of our laws. They would have set it up very, very differently and made it quite plain about who could come in and who could not.
So watch for Gorsuch to screw us over on the birthright citizenship issue. He seems to be setting the stage for that.Posted by: Timothy Birdnow at 07:16 AM | No Comments | Add Comment

The New Covid?Timothy Birdnow
Suddenly we are hearing about Hantavirus everywhere. It makes me wonder; is this the new Covid the Left is planning to use to drive Trump from office?
Hanta will be hard to use in the way they used Covid. It is an extremely lethal disease that can kill within 24 hours of symptoms appearing. But if you are making an omelet you have to crack a few eggs, eh?
As J.D. Rucker says in his post:
If a malign actor — a globalist cabal, a rogue lab, the powers and principalities the Apostle Paul warned about — wanted to design a curtain-raiser for a manufactured pandemic, they would want exactly this. A long incubation window. Multinational passengers. A Petri dish vessel that crosses jurisdictional boundaries. A pathogen rare enough that nobody has acquired immunity, exotic enough to capture global headlines, but deadly enough to drive the fear that funds the surveillance state.
end
Exactly right. This is a tailor-made pandemic to terrify the public into giving the health Nazis the authority the Left craves.
Rucker continues:
Hantavirus has been on the rodent-borne radar since the Four Corners outbreak of 1993. There are dozens of strains. Almost none of them spread between people. The one strain that does — Andes — is the one that ended up on the Hondius.
It is also, not coincidentally, the strain that virologists have been studying for decades precisely because of its anomalous human-to-human capacity. If you were assembling a wish-list pathogen for a respiratory tabletop exercise, the Andes hantavirus would sit near the top of the column. Rare. Lethal. Lung-targeting. Capable of limited spread between hosts. Almost no public familiarity, which means almost no public skepticism when the experts arrive to explain it.
end
J.D. ain't done yet!
Here is the timing that ought to make the hair stand up on the back of any honest observer’s neck. In May of 2025 — almost exactly one year ago — the World Health Assembly adopted the long-disputed Pandemic Agreement. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO’s director-general, has been talking about "Disease X” since Davos 2024, when he told the World Economic Forum that the next pandemic was "a matter of when not if” and that nations needed to surrender their fragmented responses to a unified global framework.
The treaty was the framework. The framework was finalized. And almost on cue, here is the first multi-country outbreak event of the post-treaty era, with WHO running point.
end
He's right and knowing the Left as I do I have no doubt they will try, try again to make this medical tyranny fly. Don't be surprised to find this thing becoming the new Covid.Posted by: Timothy Birdnow at 09:55 AM | Comments (2) | Add Comment

So why did Adam Schiff push the Russian Collusion hoax so hard? This Revolver story argues that Schiff wanted to be Director of the CIA and so was desperate to get Hillary Clinton elected.
Real Robert:
And there it is:
In Black and White:
An FBI declassified document released by @FBIDirectorKashCONFIRMS that Adam Schiff was promised the head of the CIA by Hillary Clinton if he helped topple the U.S. government in 2016.
"The Russians were laundering money through the Trump Organization.”
By the way: the b*tch down here was in on it too.
And then there is Jonathan Turley:
Jonathan Turley:
While this is only the unverified allegation of a single former staffer, the alleged conduct would involve criminal and unethical conduct of the highest order, if proven…
…What is clear is that someone is lying and someone is a felon. Either Schiff ordered the commission of a serious felony or this whistleblower made repeated false statements to the FBI. The public — and Congress — has every right to know the answer.
[...]
The staffer described Schiff’s conduct as "treasonous” and "illegal.”
Schiff has previously been accused of politicalization of intelligence, including his claims (after the Special Counsel rejected the Russian collusion claims as unsupported) that he had secret evidence in the Committee proving such collusion. He never produced that evidence, and it is widely believed that it did not exist.
This is different. This would be a premeditated criminal act. It is hard to believe that a "player” like Schiff would be stupid enough to openly discuss such a criminal act in a staff meeting. However, the fact that the whistleblower made this allegation in a report to the FBI is equally probative. It is a crime to lie to federal investigators.
It is also notable that this allegation never leaked. At that time, the congressional committee and the FBI were leaking sieves of classified and embarrassing information targeting Trump and his associates. Yet, this allegation (as well exculpatory information on the Russian investigation for Trump) were not leaked or published in the media.
The whistleblower was reportedly very specific in details on the meeting:
"When working in this capacity, [redacted staffer’s name] was called to an all-staff meeting by SCHIFF. In this meeting, SCHIFF stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States DONALD J. TRUMP. SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP.”
[The whistleblower] stated this would be illegal and, upon hearing his concerns, unnamed members of the meeting reassured that they would not be caught leaking classified information.”That is the type of statement that could presumably be confirmed by any of the staffers in the room, who are themselves subject to criminal charge if they lie to investigators. The question is what these staffers said to the FBI or whether it pursued this investigation fully in light of the alarming allegations.
And yet the media remained strangely silent on this and even now there has been little done to investigate this. Now why would that be, do you suppose?
So now the Democrats are running for cover and trying to wiggle out o the hangman's noose, the noose they fashioned for themselves. They couldn't be content to play the game fairly and now are horrified to learn that as ye sow so shall ye reap.
We need some reaping - lot os it in fact. The Democrats are now facing the scythe of their own making. Reap the whirlwind!

I'm warning everybody about Rubio. Please listen to me!
Rubio is good on a great many issues but he joined the gang of eight (or was it six? Can't remember) with McCain and other RINO's and Democfrats to promote an amnesty. I could forgive that but he went off on Conservatives, calling us racist for not backing their plan. That is unforgivable because it shows he can be influenced and turn on us.
I fear we'll get a President Rubio who will grant amnesty to illegals. And he'll probably go left on us in other areas because he's going to want to be remembered well and wants media accolades.
Now he's stumping for the Presidency and being the king of MAGA to win our support. I fear that will change.
I cannot support him. He has shown himself two-faced and I don't like the appearance of the one he normally hides.
We need to stick with J.D. Vance for continuity. Or Ron DeSantis.
Rubio has his place and has done a great job as Sec. State but if someone turns on you you must treat that person as always a potential turncoat.
Maybe Trump should support Rubio for a court position? Or for Governor of Florida?
I'd like to see DeSantis appointed to SCOTUS personally. Or Ted Cruz. But I do not trust Marco Rusio and never will give him my full trust. Forgiveness for mistakes is fine and I could forgive the Gang episode if he hadn't trashed the Right the way he did. That bespeaks a fundamental character flw.Posted by: Timothy Birdnow at 08:36 AM | No Comments | Add Comment

French Major Domo Manuel Macron wants us to end the blockade and open the Strait of Hormuz while negotiations are ongoing.
He either doesn't undersrtand or care about the concept of leverage.
He also tries to make this a conflict in which he and Britain and the rest of Europe have no truck with, meaning the U.S. is an equally guilty party. He pretends this is some sort of squabble the "adults" are not party to.
All this while Iran is refusing to give up nuclear ambitions. Even an idiot should understand Europe is far easier to strike with a nuke than the U.S. for Iran. But appeasers appease and never understand that just being eaten last still means you will be eaten.
Of course France has a large Islamic population now and since it's easier to appease THEM than to actually deal with this problem he's going to do it.
Europe is lost.Posted by: Timothy Birdnow at 08:22 AM | No Comments | Add Comment
