Poll: Majority Of Americans Want Prosecutions In Biden Autopen Scandal
So far, there’s been no rush to accountability — from congressional Republicans or at Attorney General Pam Bondi’s DOJ.
After HS hallway bump, Florida 15-year-old to be tried as an adult for allegedly shooting 16-year-old dead
A 15-year-old Florida male is being charged as an adult after officials said he fatally shot a 16-year-old male last month.
Jacori Antonio Redding was charged with manslaughter with a weapon, for which he received no bond, Friday’s arrest affidavit said. He also was charged with possession of a firearm on school property, for which he received a $10,000 bond, as well as possession of a firearm by a minor, for which he received a $1,000 bond, the affidavit also said.
‘I’m angry that something as small as bumping into someone in the halls of a high school can result in a shooting death.’
A judge issued an order for Redding to be transferred from the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice to the custody of the Orange County Jail, according to the affidavit. Redding was booked into jail Friday, according to jail records.
The affidavit also said Redding is to be charged as an adult on the listed charges by the Orange County State Attorney’s Office.
It all erupted Oct. 9, police said — after a bump in a high school hallway.
Witnesses said that earlier in the day, Redding bumped into 16-year-old Pinien Dalmacy at Oak Ridge High School in Orlando, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
Dalmacy told Redding to apologize, officials said, and Redding would not. So the two sophomores agreed to fight after school at Vogt-Meloon Park on West Oak Ridge Road, officials said.
The sheriff’s office said deputies responded to a shooting on the basketball court at the park and found Dalmacy, who was shot twice.
Monique H. Worrell, state attorney of the Ninth Judicial Circuit, said Redding killed Dalmacy using a gun, court documents said.
The sheriff’s office said Redding ran back to the high school after the shooting, and a deputy who coordinated with school officials secured Redding in the school cafeteria. Officials said the gun was found in his bag, Redding was arrested, and a juvenile custody order was obtained for manslaughter with a firearm and possession of a firearm on school property.
Below is a video report dated Oct. 10, the day after the fatal shooting:
WFTV-TV’s video report added that it wasn’t Redding’s first time in a courtroom and that he already was facing a trial for grand theft auto.
“My heart aches for Pinien’s family, who are grieving this unimaginable loss,” Sheriff John Mina said. “And I’m angry that something as small as bumping into someone in the halls of a high school can result in a shooting death.”
The sheriff’s office said, “Detectives know there were witnesses to this shooting and that there may be video out there that could be helpful to the investigation. We are asking anyone with that kind of information to contact ocsoinfo@ocsofl.com.”
Redding on Tuesday pleaded not guilty, court records indicate. Redding’s in-jail arraignment is scheduled for Nov. 10; his hearing is scheduled for Nov. 12, court records say.

JD Vance offers calm election reflection, warns against ‘idiotic’ overreaction to Dem winning streak
Vice President JD Vance is cutting through the noise and reminding Republicans not to overreact to the Democrats’ latest winning streak in local and state elections.
To onlookers, it might seem like Democrats have regained their footing. New York City elected its first openly socialist mayor, California is poised to redistrict the state in a manner that gives Democrats an even greater electoral advantage, and fantasizing about murdering political opponents no longer disqualifies a person from holding the highest law enforcement office in Virginia. In short, Democrats won every election they were hoping to win on November 4.
‘The infighting is so stupid.’
In the wake of these electoral losses, Vance gave Republican voters a reality check.
“I think it’s idiotic to overreact to a couple of elections in blue states, but a few thoughts,” Vance said in a Wednesday post on X.

Vance noted that one of Republicans’ challenges is voter enthusiasm. Voter turnout has historically been difficult for local elections, even more so among Republicans. Because of this, Vance emphasized the importance of energizing the base and engaging voters in future elections.
“[Scott] Pressler, TPUSA, and a bunch of others have been working hard to register voters,” Vance said. “I said it in 2022, and I’ve said it repeatedly since: our coalition is ‘low propensity’ and that means we have to do better at turning out voters than we have in the past.”
Affordability was at the forefront of all successful campaigns this cycle. As Vance noted, cost of living will be a defining issue for all future elections, and it’s one Republicans need to stay focused on both on the campaign trail and in office.
“We need to focus on the home front,” Vance said. “The president has done a lot that has already paid off in lower interest rates and lower inflation, but we inherited a disaster from Joe Biden and Rome wasn’t built in a day.”

“We’re going to keep on working to make a decent life affordable in this country, and that’s the metric by which we’ll ultimately be judged in 2026 and beyond.”
Above all, Vance encouraged the MAGA movement to tune out distracting “infighting” and focus on the movement.
“The infighting is so stupid,” Vance said. “I care about my fellow citizens — particularly young Americans — being able to afford a decent life, I care about immigration and sovereignty, and I care about establishing peace overseas so our resources can be focused at home.”
“If you care about those things too, let’s work together.”

‘I am illegal’: Leftist who made shocking confession wins mayoral race in Minnesota
A Minnesota state representative who once confessed to her own apparently unlawful entry into the United States won the St. Paul mayoral race on Tuesday.
It was later revealed that Her’s ‘uncle’ was actually not a familial relative but a family friend.
Rep. Kaohly Vang Her (DFL) secured an over-two-point victory over incumbent Mayor Melvin Carter (DFL). The election results were determined in the second ranked-choice voting round, with Her receiving fewer than 2,000 votes more than her opponent.
“My family came here as refugees,” Her said during her victory speech on Tuesday evening. “Never in their wildest dreams would I be standing here today accepting the position of mayor. I want to thank Mayor Melvin Carter for his many years of service to our city. I started my political career working for him, and I will always be grateful for that opportunity.”
On the state House floor in June, Her, who was born in Laos, made a startling confession while advocating for public health care for illegal immigrants. She claimed that her father, who worked at the U.S. consulate, brought her family to America by falsifying immigration paperwork.
Her’s uncle had worked for the U.S. Agency for International Development and, because of that work, was immediately eligible to come to the U.S. at the end of the Vietnam War, she stated at the time.

Her’s immediate family did not qualify for the same expedited process. However, Her’s father claimed on federal documents that Her’s maternal grandmother was his mother to circumvent their ineligibility, she explained to state lawmakers.
“My father, as the one processing the paperwork, put my grandmother down as his mother,” Her stated.

“And so, I am illegal in this country,” she continued. “My parents are illegal here in this country.”
It was later revealed that Her’s “uncle” was actually not a familial relative but a family friend. She claimed that her family would have been eligible to come to the U.S. anyway and that the falsified records only sped up the process.
Since immigrating to the U.S., Her has become a U.S. citizen.

Bitcoin and the return of honest money
Bitcoin. Cryptocurrency. Blockchain. A decade ago, most Americans hadn’t heard those words. Even now, many don’t fully grasp what they mean. Some still dismiss Bitcoin as an internet fad — yet with one coin worth roughly $119,000, the joke is wearing thin.
The real story isn’t the price. It’s what Bitcoin represents: freedom, trust, and control over your own money. Those are conservative principles — and conservatives should embrace them.
Honest money for a dishonest age
In Denton County, Texans understand independence. We work hard, save what we can, and expect our money to keep its value. But Washington keeps printing dollars to solve political problems, and every new round of “stimulus” steals a little more of what Americans earn. That’s a big reason groceries, gas, and housing cost so much more today.
At its heart, Bitcoin isn’t about tech or speculation. It’s about trust — and keeping financial power in the hands of citizens instead of bureaucrats and corporations.
Bitcoin doesn’t play that game. Its supply is capped at 21 million coins forever. No bureaucrat or central banker can “stimulate” the economy by diluting your savings. It’s steady, transparent, and immune to the inflationary habits of modern government.
That’s not radical — it’s a return to honest value. Early Texans traded cattle, crops, and tools, and a handshake sealed the deal. Bitcoin is a digital version of that same trust: value backed by proof of work, not political decree.
Freedom in your own hands
Bitcoin is, at its core, a conservative idea. It rewards effort, limits government control, and protects personal liberty. You can own every rifle and round of ammunition in the world, but if the government freezes your bank account, you’re stuck. With Bitcoin, you control your money. Nobody can seize it.
The network itself is decentralized — millions of computers around the globe share the ledger. No single government, company, or regulator can shut it down. If one node fails, the others keep the system alive. It’s built to endure.
Lessons for a digital age
That model should guide how we build other technologies. Take artificial intelligence. Meta just poured $14 billion into one massive data center — a single point of failure. One cyberattack or natural disaster could wipe it out. America should follow Bitcoin’s example: distribute computing power, build smaller centers across the country, and bring skilled jobs to local communities like ours.

Bitcoin also saves money. Send $1,000 through a credit card processor and you’ll lose $40 in fees. Send it through Bitcoin and it costs about four cents. That difference matters to small businesses, churches, and local campaigns. Political donations in Bitcoin should be legal nationwide — transparent, secure, and independent of the big banks that profit from the current system.
A return to honest value
At its heart, Bitcoin isn’t about tech or speculation. It’s about trust — and keeping financial power in the hands of citizens instead of bureaucrats and corporations.
Here in Denton County, we understand that kind of freedom. It’s the same spirit that settled Texas: work hard, hold what’s yours, and keep government out of your pockets.
Bitcoin isn’t the future of money. It’s the return of honest money — and conservatives should lead the charge to make it America’s next great success story.
The Associated Press is getting obliterated online for shaming pet owners over climate change
Pet owners are demolishing the Associated Press after the outlet published a video suggesting that pets make climate change worse.
The video, posted to social media, said that pets worsen climate change by needing food with high meat content. The video also recommended that people seeking to own a pet avoid breeders and instead adopt pets without owners.
‘From the people who brought you “you will all eat bugs,” comes “sacrifice your pets for climate change.”‘
“Pets have a pretty sizable climate impact. But not all carbon…pawprints…are created equal. So if you’re looking to get a pet, which ones emit the least?” read the post from AP.
“And if you’ve already got one, how do you make sure it has the smallest foot (or paw) print?” it added. “There are some options.”
The video quickly garnered over 2.3 million views, many from angry pet owners and others who told the AP where it could stuff the suggestions.
“None of this matters in the slightest. It’s all silliness. The countries that worry about it will become poor, the ones that don’t will not,” responded Charles Cooke of National Review.
“We at the AP have decided life isn’t unpleasant enough. Here’s another way you can make it worse,” replied writer Jon Gabriel.
“If I tried for forty years…better yet if God made me immortal and I spent eternity…an entire eternity with no other mission…I would not be able to care less about my pet’s carbon footprint,” responded influencer Chance McClain.
“You have to be mentally deficient to base the choice of your next pet on whatever this article has to say,” said showrunner Joseph Mallozzi.
“Whenever you think you are depressed and useless, just remember there is someone at AP that researched and approved this article,” read another reply.
“From the people who brought you ‘you will all eat bugs,’ comes ‘sacrifice your pets for climate change,'” responded writer Drew Holden.

Others were more curt in their responses.
“I have a proposal for you on this: Go f**k yourself,” read one popular reply.
In a memo released in October, billionaire Bill Gates appeared to concede that the effort to thwart climate change directly was failing. He said that world governments should instead dedicate their efforts toward mitigating the negative effects of climate change on at-risk populations.
