‘She’s Still Alive’: Student Desperately Tried to Save Teacher While Cops Botched Uvalde Shooting Response

One of the teachers killed in the Texas school massacre may have still been alive while a group of officers waited nearly an hour to take out the gunman, according to a newly revealed 911 call from a student who saw the wounded woman.

“There is a lot of bodies,” 10-year-old Khloie Torres told a 911 dispatcher while locked inside a classroom with the Robb Elementary School shooter, according to the New York Times.

“I don’t want to die, my teacher is dead, my teacher is dead, please send help, send help for my teacher, she is shot but still alive.”

The call was logged at 12:10 p.m., 37 minutes after the gunman arrived on campus — and 40 minutes before cops breached the classroom door and killed the shooter.

Khloie was one of two students who called 911 from inside the two adjoining classrooms where 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos was holed up. In total, 19 kids and two teachers died.

A Concession Has Been Made in the Pennsylvania Senate Primary

Early Friday evening Republican and former hedge fund manager David McCormick conceded to Dr. Mehmet Oz in the race to become the next U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania.

“It’s now clear to me, with the recount largely complete, that we have a nominee. And today, I called Mehmet Oz to congratulate him on his victory, and I told him what I always said to you, that I will do my part to try to unite Republicans and Pennsylvanians behind his candidacy, behind his nomination for the Senate,” McCormick said to supporters at an event. “It is so important for Pennsylvanians, so important that we beat John Fetterman.”

“Tonight is really about all us coming together,” he continued.

Biden’s Trans Policies Are Putting Men in Women’s Prisons and Kicking Christians Out of Law Enforcement

As Americans are threatened by rising crime, the Biden administration is focused on putting men in women’s prisons and pushing Christians and political dissenters from transgender ideology out of law enforcement.

President Biden has released his long-delayed executive order on law enforcement, and it does not include the bombshell proposal to put men in women’s prisons that I reported on back in January. Unfortunately, this cut is not because the Biden administration thought better of the idea, but because it already quietly rewrote the Bureau of Prisons manual to allow men in women’s prisons.

The change in federal prison policy was pushed out in January shortly after I wrote about the draft executive order. Almost no one noticed, myself included. There was limited media attention in pro-transgender outlets, and I missed it at first because I was looking for the executive order, not monitoring federal prison policy changes or LGBT propaganda. Mea culpa. I guess Biden was in such a hurry to put men into women’s prisons that he couldn’t wait until his executive order came out.

Meanwhile, the just-issued executive order is a cornucopia of bad ideas, including policies that are meant to drive Biden’s ideological enemies, especially conservative Christians, out of law enforcement. Thus, Biden has ordered the government to create and implement plans for hiring and retaining federal law enforcement officers that include “vetting mechanisms and ongoing employment screening, that … help avoid the hiring and retention of law enforcement officers who promote … bias against persons based on … sexual orientation and gender identity.” . . .

Of course, the ideologues running the Biden administration believe that any disagreement with the latest demands of the rainbow agenda by definition promotes bias against persons based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Thus, they are going to target conservative Christians and other dissenters from the reigning sexual and gender ideology.

500 Percent Spike in Biden Administration Shutting Down Gun Retailers Over Typos

President Joe Biden is overzealously targeting firearm retailers to drive them out of business. Federal firearm license revocations for retailers have increased 500 from previous years. That’s got gun control groups excited, but it is casting a pall over the cooperative relationship firearm retailers maintain with law enforcement.

President Biden never hid the fact that he intended to use the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to drive his gun control agenda. He campaigned on a platform of targeting the firearm industry instead of focusing on criminals.

“Our enemy is the gun manufacturers, not the NRA, the gun manufacturers,” President Biden said from the presidential campaign debate stage.

That hostility produced a platform that turned the ATF from the bureau that regulates the firearm industry and enforces federal gun laws into the hammer and anvil by which the Biden administration is pummeling flat firearm retailers. Instead of compliance inspections by ATF Industry Operations Investigators to work to ensure firearm retailers remain within federal firearm regulations, those inspections are now driving firearm retailers out of business.

‘None of This Makes Sense’: Senator Baffled by Uvalde Incident Commander Story

Texas Democratic state Sen. Roland Gutierrez, whose district includes Uvalde, tore into law enforcement’s delayed response to the Uvalde school shooting and questioned whether Pete Arredondo, the chief of police for the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, was really the commanding officer at the time.

Taking note of how Arredondo apparently had not received a key briefing about 911 calls schoolchildren made while trapped in a classroom with the shooter and reports that Arredondo was not carrying his radio during the assault, Gutierrez questioned whether Arredondo was really the incident commander on duty.

“The failure is clearly happening with law enforcement at every level. A real concern with regard to him not having that communication is why in the world is anybody … suggesting that he’s the incident commander if he doesn’t have the necessary communications at the time,” Gutierrez said on CNN’s Erin Burnett Outfront on Friday.

“And so, if he indeed doesn’t have his radio … how in the world are the other law enforcement agencies suggesting that man is the incident commander? None of this makes sense to me. And with all of that, little children might have died that could have been saved,” he continued.

Gutierrez revealed Thursday that he had been told Arredondo was not briefed on the 911 calls from children. Arredondo has been widely reported as the incident commander at the scene, and officials have claimed he bears responsibility for law enforcement’s delayed breach of the classroom. At the time, he believed there was no active threat to schoolchildren and had officers wait for a key to enter the classroom, according to Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw.

Putin Crony Invokes ‘Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse’ Amid Ukraine War

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev issued a stark warning to Western countries, saying they should not wait for the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” but instead try to find a diplomatic solution to dealing with Russia.

Medvedev, who currently serves as deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, made the remarks during a recent interview with Al Jazeera TV when responding to a question about his May Telegram post listing 10 dire consequences of anti-Russian sanctions for the world, according to a report from the Russian state news agency TASS.

“One can have different attitudes to it, one can believe that the horsemen of the Apocalypse are already on their way and all hope is in Almighty God. However, one can still try to tone down this international situation,” the Kremlin insider said.

Medvedev, who served as prime minister in Vladimir Putin’s administration from 2012-2020 following a single four-year term as president, argued that Russia is ready to negotiate with other countries.

The country is facing an economic downturn from sanctions that have been imposed on its companies, banks and oligarchs by Western countries in a bid to force Kremlin to end its war against Ukraine, which has been raging for 100 days now.

Kuwait Summons Top US Diplomat Over Tweets Celebrating Pride Month

Officials from Kuwait have summoned a diplomat over the U.S. Embassy’s decision to post tweets supporting Pride Month.

Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry summoned U.S. Charges d’Affaires James Holtsnider on Thursday to hand him a memorandum regarding a series of tweets “supporting homosexuality” and demanded that it not happen again. Kuwait is one of 69 countries where homosexuality is banned.

“All human beings should be treated with respect and dignity and should be able to live without fear no matter who they are or whom they love,” the embassy tweeted in reference to a May 17 statement by President Joe Biden, referring to the president as “a champion for the human rights of #LGBTQI persons.”

The ministry accused the embassy of violating international conventions that require diplomats to “respect the laws and regulations of the receiving state,” referencing the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961. It then ordered the U.S. Embassy to respect Kuwait’s laws and “not to publish such tweets,” according to the BBC.

‘We Don’t Say a Penis Belongs to a Man’: Kindergarten Teacher Reportedly Says He Exposes Kids to the Terms Transgender and Gender-Queer

The Washington Post reported that a kindergarten teacher in Massachusetts said that he exposes children to the terms transgender and gender-queer, though he does not provide complete definitions since that would be too much for kids in kindergarten. The outlet reported that the educator wished to remain anonymous since his district had not cleared him to talk publicly.

The teacher discusses anatomy but does not categorize parts as being specifically male or female, according to the Post. “We don’t say a penis belongs to a man,” the teacher remarked — it goes with a human, he noted. The kindergarten educator teaches that if a physician declares a baby to be a boy when he is born, that child is not necessarily a boy. “Someone who was born a boy may not feel they are a boy.”

The Post also reported that biology teacher Sam Long of Denver South High School, who is transgender, said that “LGBTQ identities are a naturally occurring facet of human variation, and that is why we need to learn about them in the context of biology and human anatomy.”

Issues surrounding radical leftist gender ideology are highly controversial and remain the topic of significant debate throughout the country. Many parents do not want their kids to be exposed to the reality-defying gender-bending dogmas peddled by the left.

Man Barricades Himself in Hospital After Mass Stabbing Attack, Police Say

Multiple victims are reportedly in critical condition at a Los Angeles area hospital after a man went on a stabbing spree before barricading himself inside.

“Reports of multiple people stabbed at Encino Hospital,” the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement. “The suspect is believed to be contained in a room within the hospital. There is a large police presence.”

The stabbings were reported inside a building at Encino Hospital Medical Center on the 16000 block of Ventura Boulevard.

All the victims are medical staff—one doctor and two nurses—and are believed to be in critical condition, and have been transported to a trauma center.

“He’s not running around the hospital. It appears that he’s in an area,” LAPD Officer Drake Madison said, adding that police were “trying to talk him down.” (Read more from “Man Barricades Himself in Hospital After Mass Stabbing Attack, Police Say” HERE)

Has Anyone Highlighted This Key Detail About the Texas Shooter’s Background Check?; Biden Triples Down on Gun Bans for Americans While Repeating a False Claim (VIDEO)

By Townhall. . .Ramos was known to be trouble. He got into fights, slashed his own face, told friends he hoped to join the military so he could kill people and posted multiple rape and death threats on the app Yubo. One girl reported him, but online harassment reports are probably common which led to these complaints not receiving a second glance. Where the line to inform authorities becomes clearer was when he posted pictures of bags of dead cats. He also drove around town shooting people with a BB gun. Jim Geraghty noted that Texas courts have upheld the notion that a BB gun are deadly weapons. Assault charges could have been possible, preventing Ramos from buying his weapons. There were plenty of laws that could have stopped this kid, granted some need updating—but let’s talk about the background check.

What happened with this process? If Ramos put his grandparents’ address on the 4473 form with the ATF, he would have been denied. He should have been denied. His grandfather has a criminal record. He admitted that he cannot be around firearms because of this, adding that if he had known Ramos had guns, he would have to inform the police (via NY Daily News):

The grandfather of the Texas teen who killed 21 people in an elementary school Tuesday said he can’t be around guns and would have reported that his grandson had two of them had he known.

Rolando Reyes, whose wife was shot in the face by accused mass murder Salvador Ramos before the 18-year-old began his shooting spree at Robb Elementary School but is still alive, told ABC News he wants nothing to do with the kind of firearms his grandson purchased a couple weeks ago for his birthday.

Biden Triples Down on Gun Bans for Americans While Repeating a False Claim

By Townhall. Speaking from the East Room of the White House Thursday night — shortly before jetting off to the beach in Delaware for the weekend — President Joe Biden tripled down on his calls for a ban on semi-automatic rifles and repeated the false claim a previous ban from 1994-2004 reduced mass shootings.

“We need to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines. And if we can’t ban assault weapons, then we should raise the age to purchase them from 18 to 21, strengthen background checks, enact safe storage law and red flag laws. Repeal the immunity that protects gun manufacturers liability,” Biden said. “These are rational, commonsense measures. And here’s what it all means at all means this. We should reinstate the assault weapons ban, high capacity magazines that we passed in nineteen ninety four with bipartisan support in Congress and the support of law enforcement. Nine categories of semi-automatic weapons were included in that ban like AK 47, and AR-15s. And in the ten years it was law, mass shootings were down.”

A 2004 Department of Justice funded study from the University of Pennsylvania Center of Criminology concluded the ban cannot be credited with a decrease in violence carried out with firearms. The report is titled “An Updated Assessment of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban: Impacts on Gun Markets and Gun Violence, 1994-2003.” (Read more from “Biden Triples Down on Gun Bans for Americans While Repeating a False Claim” HERE)
