Tyler Robinson Disoriented, Lacked Escape Plan After Alleged Kirk Assassination: Former FBI Field Boss

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Robinson was on the loose for 33 hours after shooting and killing Kirk on Sept. 10 at a Turning Point USA event on the campus of Utah Valley University. What he did during that timeframe largely remains a mystery, though Fox News Digital learned Thursday that he had an encounter with law enforcement near the campus at around 6:30 p.m. the evening of the shooting.

“We don’t have someone acting rationally,” Michael Tabman, former special agent in charge of the FBI’s Minneapolis Field Office, said of Robinson. “He was acting irrationally, and again, I don’t think he had a plan.”

Tabman told Fox News Digital that despite meticulously planning the shooting and carrying it out, he would likely have been disoriented by the gravity of his actions in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.

“I think it puts him in this state of confusion,” said Tabman. “‘What did I just really do?’ He just killed somebody, now he’s like, ‘Wow, what did I just do? What do I do now?’”

“So I don’t think he had a plan,” Tabman continued. “I think he knew he’d be caught. I think he was just kind of hanging around waiting to get caught.” (Read more from “Tyler Robinson Disoriented, Lacked Escape Plan After Alleged Kirk Assassination: Former FBI Field Boss” HERE)

Trump’s 21-Point Gaza Peace Plan Revealed — And It’s Getting Rave Reviews From Arab Allies

/0 Comments/in , /by

All 21 facets of President Trump’s Gaza peace plan were revealed Saturday, including a staunch demand to release all the Israeli hostages in Hamas’ captivity within 48 hours of inking any deal, a push to deradicalize the Palestinian enclave, and a commitment to end all fighting.

The peace plan also paves the pathway to possible Palestinian statehood, lays out steps to revitalize the Gaza Strip, and stipulates that Hamas cannot be part of any governing structure, according to the Times of Israel, which saw a copy of the full plan.

Trump presented the plan to allies Tuesday at the United Nations, but its full scope has not been fully presented to Hamas yet. The plan lays out a series of strong demands to the terrorist organization and makes key overtures to Gazans.

Under the proposal, all sides will work to redevelop Gaza, pour aid into the war-torn enclave at levels not lower than the January 2025 hostage deal.

Israeli Defense Forces would gradually withdraw from Gaza and Israel would agree to release key Palestinian prisoners. Hamas members who agree to peaceful coexistence will get amnesty. Those who want to leave will get safe passage to other countries.

Critically, anyone who wants to return to Gaza after leaving will be allowed to do so. (Read more from “Trump’s 21-Point Gaza Peace Plan Revealed — And It’s Getting Rave Reviews From Arab Allies” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools was arrested after federal agents discovered he was in the country illegally with a deportation order — and in possession of a loaded handgun, $3,000 in cash and a hunting knife, authorities said.

Ian Andre Roberts, originally from Guyana, was taken into custody on Friday during a targeted enforcement operation, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in Des Moines.

“ICE Des Moines today arrested Ian Andre Roberts, a criminal illegal alien from Guyana in possession of a loaded handgun, $3,000 in cash and a fixed blade hunting knife,” the agency said.

“At the time of his arrest Roberts was working as the Superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools despite being an illegal alien with a final order of removal and no work authorization.”

Agents said Roberts sped off in his vehicle after being approached by officers. His car was later discovered abandoned near a wooded area. (Read more from “Head of School District Arrested for Avoiding Deportation, Found With Handgun After Chase” HERE)

‘This Science Came From Harvard’: Joe Rogan Blasts ‘Pregnant Women Taking Tylenol’ To Own Trump Admin

/0 Comments/in , /by

Podcast host Joe Rogan on “The Joe Rogan Experience” Friday called out pregnant women who have been filming themselves consuming Tylenol in objection to President Donald Trump’s administration’s recommendation not to do so.

TikTok users ingested large amounts of Tylenol to mock Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after announcing the findings of an association between the use of acetaminophen by pregnant women and autism diagnoses in children. Rogan noted on his podcast that the Trump administration cited a Harvard study to support its findings.

“I’ve been fascinated by these videos of pregnant women taking Tylenol to show Trump that they don’t believe in what RFK Jr. is saying, that it’s somehow or another anti-science — when this science came from Harvard,” Rogan said. “That’s where the study came from. He’s not making things up. And these people are like on TikTok — they’re pregnant women taking Tylenol.”

The National Institutes of Health under former President Joe Biden’s administration also recommended pregnant women “minimize exposure by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time” if they had to use acetaminophen.

In most TikTok videos viewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation on Tuesday, users seemed to be consuming recommended doses. One video showed a pregnant woman displaying two Tylenol capsules before ingesting them.

US Considering Strikes Against Drug Traffickers In Venezuela

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Pentagon is drafting plans to launch drone strikes against drug traffickers inside Venezuela within weeks, NBC News reported.

Military officials are targeting drug labs and cartel leadership as President Donald Trump seeks to halt the flow of narcotics from the South American nation, according to NBC News. The president has not approved the operations yet, but U.S. and Venezuelan officials are talking through Middle Eastern intermediaries.

Sources said the administration views Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro as not doing enough to stop drug trafficking, the outlet reported. A senior administration official said Trump is “prepared to use every element of American power to stop drugs from flooding into our country and to bring those responsible to justice.”

The U.S. has deployed eight ships with 4,000 personnel to regional waters and sent F-35 fighter jets to Puerto Rico. (Read more from “US Considering Strikes Against Drug Traffickers In Venezuela” HERE)

Trump Orders Declassification Of Records Surrounding Legendary American Trailblazer

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump announced Friday on Truth Social he is ordering his administration to “declassify and release” all U.S. government records regarding trailblazing aviator Amelia Earhart, who mysteriously disappeared during a flight over the Pacific Ocean in 1937.

In 1932, Earhart became the first woman — and the second person in history after Charles Lindbergh — to fly solo and non-stop across the Atlantic Ocean. Just five years later, at the age of 39, she vanished without a trace during an attempt to circumnavigate the globe, raising a range of possible explanations as well as conspiracy theories.

“I am ordering my Administration to declassify and release all Government Records related to Amelia Earhart, her final trip, and everything else about her,” the president wrote in his post.

Earhart “was an Aviation Pioneer, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and achieved many other Aviation ‘firsts,’” Trump added. “She disappeared in the South Pacific while trying to become the first woman to fly around the World. Amelia made it almost three quarters around the World before she suddenly, and without notice, vanished, never to be seen again. Her disappearance, almost 90 years ago, has captivated millions.” (Read more from “Trump Orders Declassification Of Records Surrounding Legendary American Trailblazer” HERE)

‘Trans Women Are Men’ — Richard Dawkins Warns Transgenderism Is Undermining Scientific Truth

/0 Comments/in , /by

British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins has declared that “trans women are men” and that transgender ideology is a part of a broader movement to undermine scientific truth.

Speaking to London’s Daily Telegraph on the launch of his recently released book, The War on Science, leading atheist and emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford, Richard Dawkins decried the infiltration of postmodernism and transgenderism in academia.

“Both politics and personal feelings don’t impinge scientific truths and that needs to be clearly understood. I feel very strongly about the subversion of scientific truth,” he told the British broadsheet.

“I think part of what’s happened is the move of academia towards postmodernism, which is pernicious, and probably does account for the current vogue for the nonsense lie that sex is a spectrum.

“There’s this post-modern hubris which presumptuously and falsely dismisses science as a social construct. The human conceit here is the idea that personal feelings can change reality.” (Read more from “‘Trans Women Are Men’ — Richard Dawkins Warns Transgenderism Is Undermining Scientific Truth” HERE)

Trump Authorizes Troops to Protect ICE Facilities

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump has authorized the use of troops to protect Portland, Oregon, and any Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities that are “under siege from attack by Antifa.”

Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday morning to announce the action, which comes at Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s request.

“At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists,” Trump wrote.

He emphasized that he is “authorizing Full Force, if necessary.” (Read more from “Trump Authorizes Troops to Protect Portland ICE Facilities” HERE)

Trump Allies Musk, Bannon, and Thiel Named in New Epstein Estate Documents

/8 Comments/in , , /by

Newly released documents from the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have reignited scrutiny into the late financier’s ties with powerful political and tech figures—including several close associates of President Donald Trump. The files, turned over to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and published by committee Democrats on Friday, indicate that Epstein maintained connections with Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, and Peter Thiel well after his 2008 sex crimes conviction.

According to a copy of Epstein’s itinerary, Musk—currently CEO of X (formerly Twitter) and Tesla—was tentatively scheduled to visit Epstein’s private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands on December 6, 2014. A handwritten note attached to the itinerary reads, “is this still happening?” Musk has previously denied any meaningful relationship with Epstein, though he has acknowledged being introduced to him at social events.

The documents also list a planned lunch with billionaire venture capitalist Peter Thiel on November 27, 2017, and a February 16, 2019 breakfast meeting with Steve Bannon, Trump’s former White House chief strategist. The Bannon meeting took place just months before Epstein’s 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking charges. Neither Bannon nor Thiel have issued public comments in response to the new revelations.

These meetings are particularly notable given the timing: all occurred after Epstein’s widely criticized 2007 non-prosecution agreement, which allowed him to avoid federal charges despite strong evidence he had exploited underage girls. Critics say the deal emboldened Epstein and gave him cover to continue abusing minors until his arrest more than a decade later.

While Musk, Bannon, and Thiel have not been formally accused of any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, the newly released documents suggest that Epstein remained within elite social and political circles even after being labeled a sex offender.

Though not named in this batch of documents, Trump’s ties to Epstein and his inner circle remain a subject of ongoing public interest. Trump was photographed with Epstein on multiple occasions in the early 2000s and once described him as a “terrific guy” who “likes beautiful women, many of them on the younger side.” However, after Epstein’s 2019 arrest, Trump quickly distanced himself, claiming they had a falling out and had not spoken in over a decade.

Trump also downplayed the broader Epstein scandal during his presidency, at one point referring to the case and its surrounding conspiracies as a “hoax” when asked about Epstein’s death and alleged connections to other high-profile figures.

Yet some of Trump’s closest allies appear to have maintained relationships with Epstein long after his 2008 conviction. Bannon, a key architect of Trump’s 2016 campaign and his nationalist political platform, met with Epstein in early 2019. Thiel, another influential Trump supporter and a prominent GOP donor, had lunch with Epstein in late 2017, according to the documents. Both men helped shape Trump’s administration.

“This should be clear to every American: Jeffrey Epstein was friends with some of the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world,” said Sara Guerrero, a spokesperson for House Oversight Democrats. “Every new document produced provides new information as we work to bring justice for the survivors and victims.”

The new disclosures come alongside other troubling revelations, including flight records confirming that Britain’s Prince Andrew flew on Epstein’s jet—dubbed the “Lolita Express” by locals—on multiple occasions in the early 2000s. According to the files, Epstein even arranged for Prince Andrew to receive $200 massages, the same amount Epstein’s victims have said they were paid.

Documents: Tylenol Maker Privately Acknowledged Growing Evidence of Autism Risk

/0 Comments/in , /by

The pharmaceutical giant behind Tylenol privately acknowledged as early as 2018 that mounting scientific evidence pointed to a potential link between the drug’s use during pregnancy and the development of neurodevelopmental disorders like autism in children, according to internal documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“The weight of the evidence is starting to feel heavy to me,” wrote Rachel Weinstein, then U.S. Director of Epidemiology for Janssen, the pharmaceutical division of Johnson & Johnson, in a 2018 email regarding prenatal exposure to acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol.

Although Johnson & Johnson marketed Tylenol at the time, its consumer health division was spun off in 2023 into a separate publicly traded company, Kenvue, which now owns all rights and liabilities associated with the product. Still, internal communications from J&J dating back over a decade suggest that company officials had long tracked concerns about the drug’s safety during pregnancy—well before public scrutiny intensified in recent years.

As far back as 2008, company officials were fielding inquiries from both physicians and consumers about a potential link between Tylenol and autism. “Not much choice but to consider this a safety signal that needs to be evaluated,” wrote Andre Mann, then a lead for Johnson & Johnson’s Office of Consumer Medical Safety, in response to a physician’s letter.

In 2012, Leslie Shur, head of the J&J division responsible for monitoring post-market drug safety, was alerted to similar concerns from a parent. One internal message noted the issue “in case this goes to press,” indicating an awareness of the potential for public fallout.

By 2014, references to then-CEO Alex Gorski in internal correspondence suggest the issue had reached the highest levels of corporate leadership.

A 2018 internal presentation labeled “privileged and confidential” further acknowledged that studies had found a “somewhat consistent” association between prenatal acetaminophen exposure and neurodevelopmental disorders. It also noted that large-scale meta-analyses—studies that combine data from multiple scientific papers—had reported similar associations, even as the company pointed to methodological concerns such as confounding variables and subjectivity in the assessment of autism-related traits.

Despite these internal discussions, both Johnson & Johnson and Kenvue have publicly denied any causal link between Tylenol use during pregnancy and autism. In a statement to the DCNF, Kenvue spokesperson Melissa Witt said, “We have continuously evaluated the science and continue to believe there is no causal link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism.”
