Bend, Oregon man who shot and killed a shooter at his daughters' school speaks out, praises female teacher for fighting the shooter, allowing him to have a clear shot.
Kaylub Giamanco says he is haunted by the sound of children pleading for their lives.
He also praised the teacher for grabbing the gunman's weapon, allowing him to take a shot at the shooter.
"I want to recognize [the teacher]. She gave me the opportunity to make my shot without losing my life..."
"I swung the door open, and I stepped in, and I fired, and they dropped to the ground... I looked down at the gunman, and he was scrambling for his weapon. And I looked at him, and I shot him 2 more times..."
They are counting on you watching the midterms while this slides through.
NextEra Energy is buying Dominion's South Carolina utility in a $15 billion takeover, the largest utility merger in U.S. history.
State legislative leaders leaned on the Public Service Commission to fast track it, and the company is advertising a $10 monthly credit to sell it. The credit expires in two years. The merger is forever.
South Carolina has been here before. Ratepayers got stuck with a $9 billion bill for the VC Summer nuclear plant that never produced a single watt, and two executives went to prison.
Now look at the company asking for trust. Its Florida outfit bankrolled ghost candidates to bleed votes from a lawmaker who criticized it. Its consultants built a dossier on a reporter, down to surveillance photos of him walking his dog. In June it paid $43 million to settle claims it misled its own investors.
If rates go up after this, they are never coming back down.
Should South Carolina slow this down and actually look at it, or just rubber stamp it?
Congress created the conservation easement program more than 60 years ago to do something good: let landowners permanently protect farmland, wildlife habitat and historic land, and get a charitable tax deduction for giving up their development rights.
According to a Just the News report, the IRS turned that incentive into a trap.
An independent review of more than 130 IRS property valuations found the agency slashed the value of reviewed properties by roughly 97 percent, using methods Congress never authorized. The IRS overrode costly expert appraisals with desk reviews by unqualified contractors who never set foot on the land.
So a landowner does exactly what Congress asked, preserves the land forever, and then gets told his appraisal is worth almost nothing. Dragged through years of tax court roulette after that. The predictable result: landowners develop the land instead of conserving it.
Sara Gonzales walked through the whole scheme on BlazeTV. She is right. This is what a weaponized bureaucracy looks like.
Should Congress step in and end this, or does the IRS get to keep rewriting the law from a desk?
Texas public schools lost more than 14,200 immigrant students last year, and Houston ISD lost 22 percent of its immigrant students in a single year.
The numbers come from the Texas Education Agency for the 2025-26 school year, reported by The Texas Tribune. It is a 7 percent statewide drop, the first decline since the pandemic. The state counted 179,423 immigrant students, defined as kids born outside the United States who have been in American schools three years or less. The state does not ask about citizenship status, and even the Tribune's own experts say the real drop is bigger than the official number, because kids who have been here longer are not counted at all.
Administrators in Houston and Austin attributed much of their overall enrollment decline to deportations and immigration enforcement. An advocate quoted in the story said it plainly: "You have families that are self-deporting every day."
Houston ISD even closed its Las Americas Newcomer School, the campus built for new arrivals, citing low enrollment.
William Gheen of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC put the other side of it: "This is wonderful news for taxpayers and American school students. We now have smaller classroom sizes and better student-to-teacher ratios."
DHS says ICE does not target schools and people here legally have nothing to fear. Families who were never supposed to be here are leaving on their own. That is the policy working exactly as promised.
Is this a loss for Texas schools, or is it the system finally working?
Ken Paxton is suing baby food companies for toxic metals found in the baby food, meanwhile James Talarico is bitching about transgenders needing abortion rights.
The choice isn’t hard.
Leah,
I chose not to release your episode because I personally had serious concerns about the truthfulness of your statements. I take what I put out on my platform seriously for myself and for my listeners. For the sake of transparency, here's the full interview so everyone can watch and draw their own conclusions.
As for my investments, I've intentionally made them public, as you see on my LinkedIn. I invest in Shield AI and Anduril for no other reason than I believe in their ability to develop technology that equips and protects the American warfighter. That's something deeply personal to me that I believe in.
@leahfiles
Sen. Tim Scott just said out loud what Texas voters are figuring out.
James Talarico spent years pushing the full liberal agenda. Now, right at the end, he is backtracking on the transgender stuff and hoping nobody kept the receipts. The New York Times keeps writing that he "no longer believes in that." Scott's answer: apparently he did, for quite some time.
His words: "It's too DSA-like for Texas." And this one: "He has to backtrack on everything he's ever said."
Scott's verdict: Talarico will not be a senator. He should be running in Massachusetts.
Texas sees it too, right?
President Trump is a kind, wonderful, gracious, thoughtful, enthusiastic, and hardworking man. I wish more Americans appreciated him. No one will ever make America great the way he has and continues to.
It was an honor to work for him.
President Trump just put Silicon Valley's political realignment on public display. Today, I'm tracking science prizes, a reported Cassidy Hutchinson investigation, Republican immigration divisions, Iran diplomacy, and two Senate debates that could decide control of Congress. https://t.co/Tv1LKS2oNk
Michigan's Republican Senate nominee is breaking with Trump over Canada tariffs, and the midterm stakes reach well beyond one state. Today, I also cover Trump's warning to consultants, Maduro's possible torture charges, record ICE arrests, and Microsoft's push to put more AI in your PC. https://t.co/DhtvuYZzto
Body cam footage of a school shooting in 2023 has finally been released and shooter was... 6 years old. Listen to the way he speaks to the officers.
DISGUSTING!
Trump proved the border crisis was a policy choice. Yet Republicans are barely telling voters what changed. Today, I break down that messaging failure, the Supreme Court’s new term, China’s AI threat, and Google’s $4.3 billion nuclear bet. https://t.co/36qBbBXvhe
