MORE INSIGHTS AND A DEAD END IN THE CHARLIE KIRK INVESTIGATION

Last week, I covered in detail the 4 possible theories on the death of Charlie Kirk: 1) Tyler Robinson, shooting from 10 degrees off of the front at a distance of 140 yards, acting alone, 2) the shot from Kirk’s right rear, with the visible wound on the left side of the neck being an exit wound, 3) the close range palm pistol shot from the front by the guy in the brown shirt, and 4) the exploding microphone transmitter under Kirk’s shirt. Now, there’s another analysis, the most well thought out so far by Chris Martenson, and it is by far the most careful analysis, presenting the only theory that explains how a high powered rifle round could have hit Kirk from the front, and not caused an exit wound.

"Shock Outcome:" Japan Hardline Conservative Takaichi Elected Party Leader, Set To Become First Female Prime Minister

ZeroHedge

Takaichi, 64, a staunch conservative and vocal China hawk, defeated her moderate rival Shinjiro Koizumi by 185 votes to 156 in a runoff at LDP headquarters in Tokyo.

"This is straight off the Federal Register. Now ask yourself why Wikipedia doesn't mention the Soros Foundation."

Portland Police Detain Journalist, Not Antifa Soldiers, Spurring White House Probe

ZeroHedge

The journalist said Antifa "threw multiple punches at me. They broke my camera by hitting that. So I was on the ground at that point. I tried to swing. I missed. I think I have every right to swing on somebody that has got me on the ground after punching me and after breaking my equipment." Yet, the Portland Police Bureau arrested the journalist, not the Antifa woke warriors who despise free speech, instead promote a communist-inspired agenda.

The Case for a Citizen-Only Census

Real Clear Wire

At the start of each decade, the federal government tallies who's living in the country and where, citizens and non-citizens alike. That census data determines how many seats in the House of Representatives each state receives, as well as its share of Electoral College votes for president. This whole process is mandated by Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution, the part most focused on proper representation.

Hegseth, Trump Blast Wokeness In Military Before Unimpressed Generals

ZeroHedge

Likely, there were a lot of unhappy generals and admirals sitting there for a speech which would have been captured in a standard weekly chain-of-command email. After all, some flew from far-flung bases across the seas for a pep talk on PT standards, which is actually typical boilerplate stuff for pretty much every enlisted Friday briefing and muster at most military bases and units across the DoD
