Another day, another shooting incident involving a transgender individual. This time in New Hampshire.
From a Tuesday DOJ press release:
A Manchester resident has been charged in connection with a shooting that occurred over the weekend in Pittsburg, New Hampshire, U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan announces.
Blu Zeke Daly, a/k/a Cullan Zeke Daly, 26, was charged by complaint with one count of attempted murder of a federal officer and one count of assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon. Daly is currently obtaining medical treatment at a New Hampshire hospital and is under guard.
The arrest of Daly was covered by local news station WMUR. According to the report,
The biggest rock star in America today is Donald Trump, especially after his epic greatest hits set at the State of the Union; the only thing missing was the GOP singing along to his version of “Freebird” and holding up lighters. But there are some rockers trying to make a comeback as they tour the county fair circuit while opening for the political equivalent of a puppet show. Your dad is going to be excited to hear that U2 and Bruce Springsteen have returned with brand-new songs about… wait for it… what was happening in Minneapolis. Sounds promising!
Democrats are scrambling to do damage control after refusing to stand when President Trump asked lawmakers to affirm that their duty is to the American people over illegal immigrants. As many people are already criticizing the party for walking into what many viewed as a carefully laid political trap. With attack ads all but certain to follow, Democrats are now working to reframe the moment and blunt its impact on the 2026 midterm elections. [Tweet, video]
"The president was setting up Democrats in a really simple and easy way," Jason Rantz, a conservative radio host, said. "They shouldn't have fallen for it.
Surveillance video captured the dramatic moment a sinkhole opened up on a busy intersection in south-central Omaha, Nebraska, swallowing up two vehicles.
The incident happened Tuesday afternoon in a trendy section of the Midwest city, when a sport utility vehicle and a pickup truck waiting at a traffic light dropped into a hole several feet deep when the pavement under them suddenly gave way. Neither driver was injured, police said.
The driver of the truck was able to get out of the sinkhole on his own, then joined other bystanders who helped the SUV driver out of the hole, police said.
A federal judge on Wednesday struck down the Trump administration for deporting illegal immigrants to countries other than their own.
The ruling came as the result of a class-action lawsuit brought by noncitizens challenging deportations to “third countries” without notice or a chance to challenge the proceedings.
U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston ruled against the policy, arguing that the government does not have the authority to send illegal immigrants to unfamiliar nations and must follow established federal law. The judge paused his ruling for 15 days to give the White House a chance to appeal.
A conservative group, American Sovereignty, is launching a nationwide, seven-figure ad campaign designed to capitalize on the State of the Union moment by attacking Democrats over immigration policy. The 30-second spot highlights Democrats’ refusal to stand during president Trump’s address and ties it to his call that the government’s first duty is to protect american citizens, not illegal aliens. The campaign aims to run throughout 2026, with emphasis on battleground states Michigan, North Carolina, and Georgia to defend vulnerable GOP incumbents and pursue potential pickups in both the house and Senate. The ad’s messaging—“Democrats are for illegal immigrant criminals. Republicans are for you”—is supported by a video of Trump’s remarks.
Rapper Cardi B, who previously said she was “starting not to like America,” called the United States “ghetto” and “dusty,” and declared “this is why some of y’all states be getting hurricanes” after Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory, is now urging voters in Texas — a Gulf Coast state that has been struck by major hurricanes — to back Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Democrat U.S. Senate primary as early voting enters its final days.
On Wednesday, Cardi B posted a video to her Instagram Story saying: “Listen up y’all. Early primary voting is happening right now in Texas, and we need Jasmine Crockett to win.
LOWER MANHATTAN, New York -- Several ceremonies were held in Lower Manhattan on Thursday to mark 33 years since the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Officials with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey held a memorial mass at St. Peter's Church at 10:30 a.m. Then at noon, 9/11 Memorial and Museum held its annual ceremony on the National September 11 Memorial Plaza, with a moment of silence at 12:18 p.m. The attack took place on Feb. 26, 1993, when a bomb built by Islamic extremists exploded in the parking garage of the North Tower of

Another Joe Biden FBI Scandal
replies
The extent to which the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland was weaponized to serve the Democratic Party is a scandal that is still unraveling. The FBI was particularly turned to partisan ends, a scandal for which there has yet been no accounting.
It has most recently come to light that in 2023, the FBI tapped the phones secretly subpoenaed phone records of both Kash Patel–now, ironically, the Director of the FBI–and Susie Wiles, now the President’s Chief of Staff. This was all, I take it, part of the Democratic Party’s well-organized effort to prevent Donald Trump from being re-elected President in 2024.
That the FBI wiretapped Patel and Wiles is disgraceful,
One of President Trump's key priorities for his second term was rebuilding and re-arming our military, including making sure we have the best, most modern aircraft in the world. That may well be happening now, and in record time. The United States Air Force's first 6th-generation fighter, the F-47, is reportedly on track for a 2028 test flight. That's remarkably fast for a concept-to-cockpit development these days.
The advanced F-47 sixth-generation fighter remains on track to fly in the next two years, the senior Air Force acquisition officer overseeing the program said Feb. 25, as the service continues on its ambitious schedule to debut the air superiority-focused fighter by 2028
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is accusing the GOP-led House Oversight Committee of using her to "distract" from President Donald Trump during her high-stakes testimony in Congress' Jeffrey Epstein probe.
Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) is demanding a full investigation after Capitol Police arrested her guest during President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night — and the woman they hauled out might look awfully familiar to RedState readers.
The congresswoman invited 43-year-old Minneapolis activist Aliya Rahman — the same far-left agitator who went viral in January when ICE agents dragged her from her car during immigration enforcement operations in her home state — to sit in the gallery as her personal guest. Wouldn't you know it, somebody as attention-seeking and willing to intentionally get arrested to interfere in law enforcement actions as Rahman, seated next to a lawmaker

The revolutionary Iranian regime -- which may possibly find itself in a war with the United States in coming days -- has positioned itself as an adversary of the United States since it came into power decades ago in 1979. Much of the discussion (snip) has focused on the Iranian regime's nuclear program (snip) but not as much attention has been placed on a host of Iranian-directed terrorist attacks against U.S. troops, diplomats, and citizens which have killed hundreds of Americans. Iran has also sought to carry out a number of attempted plots on U.S. soil (snip)
Federal authorities raided the home and office of Los Angeles Unified School District Supt. Alberto Carvalho on Wednesday morning in what appears to be a probe related to a company that developed an AI chatbot for the nation’s second-largest school system.Authorities have not provided any details about the investigation. But one source with knowledge of the matter said it involved AllHere, a failed AI company whose founder was charged with fraud in 2024.(snip) the FBI provided an address in Florida that was searched Wednesday morning. Public records show that property is linked to an individual who worked with AllHere.
World Economic Forum CEO and President Borge Brende said he was resigning Thursday, after an investigation was conducted into his ties to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Brende, a former Norwegian foreign minister who became WEF president in 2017, announced his decision in a statement following the Justice Department's release of Epstein files that showed he had three business dinners with the disgraced financier and had also communicated with him via email and text, Reuters reported.
"After careful consideration, I have decided to step down as President and CEO of the World Economic Forum. My time here, spanning 8-1/2 years, has been profoundly rewarding,"
If you were with CTH when I did the deep dive into the Miami-Dade School Police Department and Miami-Dade School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, you will likely remember how corrupt and sketchy he was. {SEARCH TOOL} Carvalho was tightly aligned with the Obama/Biden administration, the “my brothers keeper” program and the Dade/Broward County “Promise Program” where high school kids who committed felonies were directed away from the criminal justice system and instead given school punishments (suspensions etc.).
I spent months fighting corrupt Miami-Dade officials and getting transcripts from internal police investigators who admitted to the corruption within the program. It was jaw-dropping.

North Korea hacked into the computers of a Hollywood studio in 2014, and the company's former executive now blames himself—or his own childhood—for okaying a movie that angered the dictator in Pyongyang, Kim Jong Un.
"Curiously, I never really got angry at the North Koreans, on the assumption that if you kick the hornet's nest and get stung, you can't really blame the hornets," the former CEO of Sony Entertainment, Michael Lynton, writes in an excerpt that appeared in the Wall Street Journal of his new book, From Mistakes to Meaning: Owning Your Past So It Doesn't Own You.
In the book excerpt, Lynton depicts then-President Barack Obama as critical
As a war between the United States and Iran seems possible, the Shiite theocratic Iranian regime continues to shield one of the leaders of the Sunni jihadist terrorist group responsible for the 9/11 attacks, with the FBI's most wanted" Saif al-Abdel running the global terror network under Tehran's protection. Saif (snip) took over Al-Qaeda in the 2022 timeframe (snip) Saif, (snip) was indicted (snip) in 1998 for his role in al-Qaeda's deadly bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa, and (snip) fled to Iran after 9/11 (snip) the Iranian regime has a long history -- both before and after 9/11 -- of collaborating with al-Qaeda (snip)
“This is discrimination, pure and simple, the soft bigotry of low expectations. We should end it.”
George W. Bush did a public service when he coined that phrase in 1999 as a way to point out the racist roots of claims that minorities can’t be expected to achieve what “privileged’ whites do. But he was wrong to call this form of bigotry “soft.”
There is nothing soft about it. Saying that blacks can’t be expected to excel in school or get an ID to vote is as bad as burning a cross on their lawn. And yet, while Republicans are routinely described as racist, it’s Democrats who lay claim to this
The collective war being carried out by Ukraine and Brussels against Hungarian energy systems is escalating. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is now putting military defenses and security forces around critical infrastructure.
ORBAN: We will not give in to blackmail! I have ordered increased security for critical energy infrastructure.
The Ukrainian government is exerting pressure on the Hungarian and Slovak governments through an oil blockade. They will not stop there, as they are preparing further actions to disrupt Hungary’s energy system. Hungary cannot be blackmailed!
Michael Lynton was the CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment when it greenlit Seth Rogen’s film The Interview. You’ve most likely never seen it because it displeased the Supreme (Communist) Leader of North Korea and led to North Korea’s hack of the company’s emails, confidential scripts, and his family’s personal information. Sony limited distribution of the film in order to mitigate the damage.
The Wall Street Journal published an excerpt of Lynton’s memoir in its February 21 Review section. In the excerpt Lynton blames the malformation of his character for what he deems a monumental corporate mistake. I was disgusted to read President Obama’s concurrence in Lynton’s assessment:
I’ve written about Shawn Farash before, because I think he’s funny as hell. In my mind, he’s one of the best — if not the best — Trump impersonators out there. He doesn’t try to look like the president, but it’s uncanny how much he can make himself sound like him. He gets the inflections right, the pace, and the kind of things Trump might say perfectly right.
Here he is congratulating the U.S. Olympic men’s hockey team for winning their epic gold medal against Canada in overtime: (X) People’s taste in comedy varies widely, but if you don’t find “Snow Mexico” and "shut the Tkachuk up" funny,

Sometimes all you can do is just shake your head. When you read about the tragic murder of young Ukrainian immigrant Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, North Carolina, in August 2025, and then find out that her killer had at least 14 prior arrests, you want to cry or bang your head against the wall.
The blue state style of justice brings one thing: victims of heartbreaking violence.
A recent decision by a parole board in Gavin Newsom’s California seems to say, “we don’t actually give a rat’s butt about the victims, both past and future, and the criminals’ lives are more important than your own.”
To wit:
