DAY 7 of National Gun Violence Awareness Month. And I need you to hear something over the noise.

She was screaming for her son.

That is the detail that stays with me. Not the blood. Not the chaos. Not the stampede of people pouring toward the exits of a Michigan Walmart on a Saturday afternoon in July. It is the sound of a mother somewhere in that store, screaming for her son, that tells you everything about what kind of moment this was.

It is July 26, 2025. Garfield Township, Michigan. 4:40 in the afternoon. A crowded Walmart on a summer Saturday — the kind of afternoon where the parking lot is full and the aisles are full and there are carts and kids and people checking their phones comparing grocery lists. Normal. Ordinary. The specific, unremarkable Saturday afternoon that most of us have lived a hundred times without thinking about it.

And then Bradford James Gille walks in.

He is 42 years old. He has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia since 1999. Between 2015 and September of 2024 — just ten months before this day — he lived at the Center for Forensic Psychiatry in Saline, Michigan. His mother told a reporter years ago that her son was fine when he took his medication. The problem, she said, was that his illness told him he was fine and did not need it.

He brought a folding knife with a 3.5-inch blade. And he started stabbing people. Randomly. Employees. Shoppers. Anybody within reach. Eleven people in total — six of them critical, five serious — before he turned and walked toward the parking lot.

The store erupted. People stampeding. Carts overturning. A woman somewhere screaming for her son. The specific kind of sound that does not leave you, if you have ever heard it.

And then Derrick Perry moves.

He is a retired United States Marine. An off-duty employee of Munson Healthcare. A man who, by his own description, was in that store for the same reason everyone else was — because it was Saturday and he needed something. He sees Gille heading for the door. He does not run. He follows.

In the parking lot, on video that was seen by millions of people on X within hours, Perry draws his legally-carried concealed handgun. He plants himself between Gille and the rest of the world. He shouts at him to drop the knife. And while bystanders around him are calling for him to shoot — people yelling at him to just end it — Derrick Perry holds his ground and holds his fire.

Because he is not the judge. He is not the jury. He is not the executioner. He said so himself, on Good Morning America, two days later.

"The only thing that separated me from the other gentleman that had stepped in as well was what I was carrying in my hands."

Let that sentence sit for a moment. The other gentleman — Matt Kolakowski, also a Marine, who rammed Gille with a shopping cart — was willing but unarmed. Perry was willing AND armed. The gun is what made the difference. Not the willingness. The tool.

Gille dropped the knife.

Perry held him at gunpoint until law enforcement arrived. Not one additional person was stabbed after Perry drew his weapon. Not one.

Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea said it plainly at the press conference: "What they did was amazing. It's not very often that we have citizens that are willing to step up and take action."

The Traverse City Police Chief called Perry a hero. His daughter posted on Facebook that it was "a proud daughter moment." His daughter-in-law called him "a true hero." People suggested a Presidential Medal of Freedom. And then — as predictable as the sunrise — the national conversation moved on to the next thing, and Derrick Perry went back to his life, shaken in the ways that men who have seen real violence get shaken, and mostly quiet about it, the way Marines tend to be.

Bradford James Gille was charged with one count of terrorism and eleven counts of assault with intent to murder. That is what this was legally classified as. Terrorism.

And the man who stopped the terrorism? He was carrying a concealed handgun on a Saturday afternoon in Michigan because he has the right to do that. And because of that right — because of that specific, constitutionally protected, politically embattled, orange-ribbon-opposed RIGHT — eleven people were the last victims instead of more.

Now let me give you the number that the awareness campaign does not want you connecting to Derrick Perry's story.

Because there is a number. And it is extraordinary.

In 2025, the homicide rate in the United States dropped to approximately 4.0 per 100,000 people. The Council on Criminal Justice, analyzing data from 40 cities, found homicides fell 21 percent from 2024 alone. The FBI's own preliminary data showed an 18 percent drop in homicides between September 2024 and August 2025. Gun assaults specifically fell 22 percent. Robberies fell 23 percent.

If those final numbers hold, 2025 will have the lowest homicide rate ever recorded in law enforcement or public health data going back to 1900. One hundred and twenty-five years of records. And 2025 sits at the bottom.

Here is what happened simultaneously, in the same country, during the same years.

Since the Supreme Court struck down "may issue" carry laws in Bruen v. New York in June 2022, the number of states with constitutional carry — meaning no permit required to carry a legally-owned firearm — went from a handful to 29. Twenty-nine states. Forty-six point eight percent of the American population now lives in a constitutional carry state. Over 67 percent of the land mass of this country is now constitutional carry territory.

Everytown for Gun Safety predicted crime would soar after Bruen. They said it explicitly. More guns, more violence. The data they did not predict: homicides fell 14.9 percent in 2023, another 18 percent in 2024, and another estimated 21 percent in 2025. Three consecutive years of historic drops in violent crime, every single one of them occurring AFTER the largest expansion of legal carry rights in American history.

Meanwhile, gun ownership itself hit record highs. Tens of millions of firearms were purchased over the same period. More guns. In more hands. In more states with fewer restrictions.

Less crime.

Every single year. Three years running. By historic margins.

John Lott spent decades running the numbers. More Guns, Less Crime. That was not a talking point. That was 13,312 statistically controlled regressions across every county in America, now confirmed in real-time by the largest crime drop in 125 years happening simultaneously with the largest expansion of carry rights in American history.

Quinn's Law Number Six: facts are the enemy of liberalism.

And here is the fact that should end this particular argument permanently: the people who told you more armed citizens meant more violence were not just wrong. They were wrong in the most measurable, most documented, most empirically catastrophic way possible. The opposite happened. On the scale of an entire nation. For three straight years.

Derrick Perry is not a statistic. He is a Marine who was carrying a handgun on a Saturday afternoon because it is his right to do so, and who used that right to stop a terrorist from stabbing more people in a Michigan Walmart while a mother somewhere in that store screamed for her son.

He held his fire when he did not have to. He held his ground when everyone else ran. And then he went home. No congressional medal. No prime-time documentary. No awareness month.

Just a man. A gun. And eleven people who went to the hospital instead of the morgue.

I think about that mother a lot. The one screaming for her son. I hope she found him. I hope they sat in the parking lot afterward and held each other for a long time without saying anything, the way families do when they realize how close it was.

I hope she knows Derrick Perry's name.

But what do I know — I am only a combat medic who has heard that specific sound before and who has never once wished there were fewer armed, trained, willing people in the vicinity when it happens.

🚨 THE MOST BLATANT, UNDENIABLE EXAMPLE OF TWO-TIER POLICING YOU WILL EVER SEE! 😡

A police liaison officer is filmed calmly addressing a large group of Muslim men outside a mosque in Stoke-on-Trent (Staffordshire Police, near Darul Falah Mosque in Hanley) amid disorder.

His exact words, spoken through a megaphone:

“If there’s any weapons or anything like that, what I would do is discard them at the mosque.”

“Don’t give anybody any reason to have any interaction with the police, so if there’s any weapons, get rid of them. We are not going to arrest anybody.”

Absolutely staggering. No searches. No arrests. Just friendly advice to stash the weapons inside the mosque and carry on.

Imagine if it was a group of white English lads tooled up with knives, bats or worse in the middle of the same chaos. We’d have seen riot gear deployed, police dogs, baton charges, mass arrests, air support, the full works, followed by blanket media coverage branding them “far-right thugs”.

Instead? A calm, helpful suggestion. A quiet word of advice: “Just discard them in the mosque, lads.”

This is blatant, on-camera proof of two-tier policing happening openly in the UK.

The force itself admitted this footage damaged public confidence. No wonder.

Two days after Henry died Hampshire Police secretly recorded Digwa in a police van speaking Punjabi to his brother. Digwa admitted stabbing Henry. Discussed claiming self defence. Made zero mention of racial abuse. Not one word.

Hampshire Police had that tape.

They knew Digwa was lying about the racist attack. They had the evidence. They had his own words and then tried to smear Henry as the aggressor anyway.

Three days after his death their statement read “it was reported two men had been assaulted by an unknown man.” Henry was the unknown man. The boy bleeding out on the street. They flipped it.

Family complained. Statement changed. Then police told the family their NEXT update would again infer Henry was the initial aggressor. His family had to fight them a second time. While grieving their murdered son.

Then during the trial Hampshire tried to issue a statement telling the public to stop talking about it online. Calling it disinformation. The CPS had to step in. Told them they were about to collapse their own murder case.

This is the force that handcuffed a dying boy. Missed the murder weapon twice. Had a secret tape proving the killer lied. And still tried to bury Henry's name.

That's not incompetence. That's a machine protecting itself. At the expense of a dead boy's reputation and three officers are still on active duty. Not suspended. Treated as witnesses. To their own actions.

Hampshire Police didn't just fail Henry on that street. They kept failing him for six months after he died.

I exposed Kei Pritzker for being a paid protestor. He stops my interview, has nothing to say and has to go back and google an argument.

He works for Breakthrough News which is funded by Neville Roy Singham which just HAPPENS to share the SAME address as the People's Forum, his paid protesting office here in New York City.

Soros also funds Breakthrough News through the Progress Unity Fund, Singham and Soros are employing fake journalists to pose as protestors to sow division in the west.

The expose portion begins at 1:45.

Nothing says “party of compassion” like Democrat mug shots for attacking ICE agents and storming detention centers. The Democratic Party is now the official landfill for every low-IQ, mentally feeble idiot in the country.

Turns out that @LeaderJohnThune was totally projecting when he said the SAVE Act was an influencer campaign.

Senator John Thune is compromised by a company that literally exists to sell access to himself.

🚨We Are Watching the Fall Of America....

MASSIVE Eid celebration overtakes Harrisburg’s iconic Farm Show Complex – in the HEART of what used to be Pennsylvania Dutch country.

Over 10,000 Muslims poured in for Eid al-Fitr prayers and festivities, organized by the Central Pennsylvania Committee of Masajid (CPCOM) – a coalition of local mosques including Harrisburg Masjid, Hershey Islamic Center, Islamic Center of Pennsylvania, Masjid Al-Nur, and more.

This is the SAME Farm Show Complex where I went as a child with my family – fairs, 4-H, Pennsylvania pride, good American families celebrating our heritage. (This literally breaks my heart)

Now?

It’s being handed over to a foreign civilization while Americans literally run to accommodate this.

They call it “celebration.”

I see an Islamic torture day of death being normalized in the middle of Pennsylvania.

This isn’t organic growth.

This is the direct result of mass migration and refugee resettlement programs flooding central PA with immigrants from Muslim countries that are not compatible with any Western nation.

Groups like Church World Service’s Harrisburg office, Catholic Charities Immigration and Refugee Services in Harrisburg, and others have spent decades resettling refugees and asylees – many from conflict zones – into this once-quiet, faith-filled region.

They exploit the kindness and generosity of good American people, then demand bigger venues, more accommodations, and political power.

Pennsylvania Dutch country – our German, Amish, Mennonite roots, our barns, our farms, our Christian civilization – is having its face completely changed.

The Capitol dome that once echoed Western and Christian heritage is now surrounded by bloc-voting networks pushing Sharia-adjacent demands.

Harrisburg used to stand for the preservation of the Union and American values.

Today it’s ground zero for demographic replacement.

This is what surrender looks like.

Not with tanks – with open borders, refugee pipelines, and politicians who betray the people who built this state.

We are being replaced in real time while “welcoming” committees cheer.

Wake up, Pennsylvania. Wake up, America.

We are under attack, and our own government is aiding and abetting this war...

Stop accommodating the takeover.

@AbolitionRising Sad!

[Semperfifemale @semperfifemale]

Let me tell you about soft Jihad and how the Muslim Brotherhood plan is playing out in Georgia. This is a small part!

Most Georgians have never heard of the Arabic Teachers Council of the South.

That may be exactly why you should.

Buried within Georgia’s educational system is an organization whose stated mission is to recruit, train, and support Arabic language teachers throughout the South. It works with K-12 schools, colleges, universities, and educational institutions across Georgia and beyond.

The organization is hosted through the Atlanta Global Studies Center, a partnership between Georgia Tech and Georgia State University.

But here’s where things get interesting.

According to its own website, the Arabic Teachers Council of the South was established with funding from Qatar Foundation International (QFI), an organization headquartered in Washington, D.C., and affiliated with the Qatar Foundation. The Council openly acknowledges that Qatar Foundation International funds its operations. (Atlanta Global Studies Center)

Public reports indicate that from 2021 through 2025, Qatar Foundation International provided multiple grants to Georgia State University to support staff, training, and activities for the Arabic Teachers Council of the South. One report estimates those grants totaled approximately $202,000. (Free Beacon)

An analysis by Influence Watch states that The Qatar Foundation International has provided at least $30.6 million to U.S. public schools for Arabic-language programs.

The Council’s mission is straightforward; recruit teachers, train teachers, expand Arabic language programs, provide instructional resources, and promote Arabic language and culture throughout the region. It partners with the Georgia Arabic Teachers Association, Alif Institute, and Georgia educational initiatives. (Atlanta Global Studies Center)

And this isn’t happening only in Georgia.

Qatar Foundation International operates grant programs across the United States that provide funding for Arabic teacher training, classroom materials, cultural programming, curriculum support, student activities, and school-based Arabic language initiatives. (QFI)

Now stop and think about that for a moment.

Why is a foreign-government-linked foundation investing money into teacher training, curriculum support, and educational initiatives inside the United States?

Why Georgia?

Why the Southeast?

Why the focus on expanding Arabic language instruction?

They are trying to influence western culture gradually through education, institutions, and ideas, and that Americans should pay close attention whenever foreign money enters classrooms and teacher-training programs.

Regardless of where you stand, transparency matters.

The facts are not in dispute:

• The Arabic Teachers Council of the South operates in Georgia.
• It is hosted through the Atlanta Global Studies Center.
• It was established with Qatar Foundation International funding.
• Its mission is to recruit, train, and support Arabic language teachers.
• It serves educators throughout Georgia and the southern United States.

What do you think?

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

Even Arab leaders admit it.

Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.

Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.

Ok, so let us set that aside.

Now watch this.

In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.

Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.

He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.

The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.

This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.

When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.

The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.

This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.

If you value the truth, please share.

[Mocha Bezirgan 🇨🇦 @BezirganMocha]

On February 12, 2026, Media Bezirgan launched Operation Piano, an international investigation into a network of Nigerian medical graduates suspected of fraud who used South Africa as a transit point to gain access to North America, particularly Alberta and Saskatchewan.

After 2 months of researching, surveilling, and conducting comprehensive background checks through international partners, we have found evidence indicating fraud, misrepresentation, and corruption.

As part of the investigation, I went undercover in South Africa, visiting relevant public institutions in pursuit of the truth, conducting covertly recorded interviews in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Pretoria with authorities, and recruiting willing sources.

Now that the investigation is complete, and the evidence has been collected, I am comfortable with announcing that we will publish our findings, and the heartbreaking story that led to our pursuit for clarity, soon.

Operation Piano was funded by Albertan families who suffered unimaginable pain at the hands of fraudulent foreign medical graduates who want to raise awareness, seek accountability, and prevent future harm.

It’s estimated that it’s 76,000 illegal aliens in Philadelphia but we know that number is much higher

City Council and Mayor Cherelle Parker has made it so employers can’t refuse to higher because of immigration status

That’s over 76,000 possible jobs that could go to Philadelphian citizens

Landlords can’t refuse housing because of immigration status, how many homes and apartments are going to illegals

The Philadelphia Police Department can’t share information with ICE, how many criminal illegal aliens are roaming Philadelphia, murderers and rapist
