Defense attorney Mike Howard is trying to pull off an inside straight to get the jury to acquit Karmelo Anthony.
Under Texas law, he needs to prove ALL of the following to the jury:
-Anthony had a right to be present at that location (Stand Your Ground Doctrine);
-did not provoke the person against whom the force was used (Initial Aggressor Rule);
-was not otherwise engaged in criminal activity at the time , such as carrying the knife on school grounds (Part of the Stand Your Ground Doctrine);
-reasonably believed that deadly force was immediately necessary to protect against the other’s use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force (Reasonable Belief Doctrine);
-and that the threat of unlawful deadly force (or serious bodily injury) was imminent (Imminent Harm Requirement)
This is absolutely ludicrous.
Indicted, accused of stealing millions from Minnesota's Medicaid - she wants taxpayers to pay for her flights from her home in Philadelphia to face charges. @kare11#fraud
🟥 A swatter called Fairfax County police and told them gunshots were fired at Justice Amy Coney Barrett's home. It was a lie — and Fairfax officers saw through it within minutes.
This happened right here. In our county. On May 27.
And here's what's infuriating: Fairfax's three Democrat congressmen — Don Beyer (D, VA-8, up for re-election 2026), Suhas Subramanyam (D, VA-10, up 2026), and James Walkinshaw (D, VA-11, up 2026) — represent the very constituents who live near where this happened. Not one of them said a word.
A Supreme Court Justice who lives in Fairfax County was targeted by a hoax designed to send armed police to her door. Silence from the Democrats who represent her neighbors.
🟥 This is what one-party rule looks like. No accountability. No outrage. Not even a statement.
Senator Mike Lee said it plainly: swatting is "an attempt to get an innocent person killed." A sitting Supreme Court Justice. In Fairfax County.

Beyer. Subramanyam. Walkinshaw. November 2026. Remember their silence.
Union Leaders Convicted of Racketeering, Fraud, and Embezzlement of Union Dues
“The Boilermakers Union members were supposed to get representation out of their hard-earned money used to pay union dues,” said @AAGDuva. “What they got instead is their money wasted on lavish trips and dinners, and unearned vacation payouts for the union leadership. Union dues must be handled with care and used for the benefit of the dues paying members. Union leadership that steals from the American worker will face prosecution, conviction, and prison time.”
The picture below is the hotel in Paris, France, where the defendants held an executive council meeting for the Kansas-based Boilermaker Union.

James Carville just called Graham Platner "f--ked up" and compared him to Stalin. Sunny Hostin called him "a liar, a racist, an antisemite...a homophobe." Yet they would vote for him over a moderate Republican woman. Welcome to the age of rage. https://t.co/kxbnEgGolI
NEW: Fairfax Schools hired Matthew Berry Thorsen as a math teacher despite prior drug charges & “unlicensed motor vehicle” [wink] now he is accused of sex crimes against a underaged student but FCPS’ fancy $$$$ lawyer will clear it of any wrongdoing.
@fcpsnews fails us again
🚨REWARD🚨
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $150,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of Said Abdullahi Ereg, a man wanted in connection with a large-scale Somali fraud ring.
Ereg is accused of playing a key role in a massive scheme that stole millions of dollars from the federal child nutrition program during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Funds that were supposed to feed children in need were instead diverted, misappropriated, and laundered.
ICYMI: A previously deported Mexican illegal alien with four prior DUI arrests has been charged with a triple murder in Modesto, CA after he allegedly stabbed to death a two-week-old baby, the baby's mom, and the baby's grandma. DHS tells @FoxNews that when Joaquin Escoto was arrested for his latest DUI in June 2025, ICE sent a request to the San Joaquin County Jail to be notified if he were to be released, and DHS provided us the request they sent over. Escoto was still released without any heads up to ICE.
San Joaquin County Sheriff Pat Withrow told media outlets that Escsoto was arrested for that DUI at 1am, and he was released at 6am. He says the jail didn't get a fax from ICE requesting notification of his release until 9am.
“We did not do anything wrong here,” Withrow said. “Their hold request came after he was already gone. It wasn’t even a hold. It was just a request to notify them when he was going to be released. He was already gone.”
However, under California's sanctuary laws, DUI is not a serious enough offense to allow cooperation with ICE, so even if the ICE request would have come in sooner, it's unlikely ICE's request would have been honored by San Joaquin County.
DHS statement to FOX:
"ICE lodged an arrest detainer the same day this criminal illegal alien was arrested for driving under the influence. By the way, that was the same day he was released by sanctuary politicians.
In the sheriff’s own words, he “probably would not” have honored the detainer because it was “just a DUI.” They knowingly set this violent criminal loose, and he slaughtered a two-week-old baby in cold blood, along with the infant’s mother and grandmother.
California’s sanctuary politicians MUST STOP this deadly game. They CHOOSE every single day to release criminal illegal aliens back into our communities, directly endangering American families and creating more innocent victims."
Karmelo Anthony isn’t facing the death penalty because of a 2005 Supreme Court (Roper v. Simmons) ruling.
SCOTUS ruled that a person under the age of 18 cannot be put to death.
The court claims it violates the Eighth Amendment, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.
The woman in this video says she’s going to stand by Karmelo Anthony regardless of the evidence because he’s black.
I’ve confirmed that what you see in her hand is WINE.
She came to a murder trial with her own alcohol. 😭
Excellent opinion piece.
"Congratulations. You're destroying the capitalist system. While everybody else in the world is embracing it, my boys and girls are f---ing it up! You know what happens when capitalism gets f---ed up? The communists come back. They come out of the bushes. Don't kid yourself. They're waiting in there…"
