This Week in the World Affairs Brief

THE CHARLIE KIRK SHOOTING DOESN’T ADD UP

The more we learn from video evidence of the shooting, the more facts come to light that contradict the story that Kirk was shot from the front by a powerful rifle shot. Tyler Robinson on the roof of the Losee Center at UVU was only a few degrees off of shooting Charlie Kirk directly to his front. His powerful 30.06 bullet would have gone completely through Kirk’s neck and splattered the white backdrop behind him and possibly hit one of the many people standing behind him. But there was no evidence of an exit wound to the rear nor back splatter on the backdrop. One video put out by an ex-military type claims that the only way a high velocity bullet would not have exited to the rear was if it hit the top edge of a metal bullet proof shield under Kirk’s T-shirt which would have deformed and directed the projectile upward into his skull. A second video commentary, with now over 6 million views, predominates the discussion now and claims that Kirk was shot from high and to Kirk’s right, and that the visible wound to the front of the neck was actually the exit wound. A third video, which I dismissed last week from Jeff Rense, suspects that a man at the front of the crowd in a khaki shirt and sunglasses took the shot at close range with a small gun hidden in his right hand. This week I will go through each of these theories in turn and compare them to the facts being put out including what one doctor revealed who treated Kirk afterward at the hospital.

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

At Least 1 Dead, 9 Wounded After Shooting At Michigan Church

ZeroHedge

At least two people were killed and nine others wounded in a shooting Sunday at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, police said. Authorities reported that the gunman slammed into the church with a mid-size truck during a service, opened fire, and then set a blaze that engulfed the building. Police said that more victims may be found once it is safe to re-enter the area. Officers exchanged gunfire with the suspect, killing him. He was identified as a 40-year-old man from Michigan, but no name has been released, nor has an official motive been disclosed. Shooting comes as members mourned the death of Russell M. Nelson, the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Grand Blanc Township Police Chief said authorities will execute a search warrant at the suspect's residence and comb through cell records to "find out if there was a motive." The FBI has allocated "100 agents to the area" to help get statements from witnesses. Trump calls the incident a "yet another targeted attack on Christians." Top Trump officials have released statements

Hegseth Sends 200 National Guard Troops Into Portland As Antifa Targets ICE

ZeroHedge

On Sunday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth officially deployed the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, to counter far-left groups targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and facilities. The state of Oregon immediately filed a lawsuit seeking to block the deployment. This move comes as dark-money-funded leftist NGOs, far-left groups, and radicalized leftist lone wolves resort to violence this year, with some of this mayhem referred to as "civil terrorism" ... and attacks have intensified this month.

Just The News

Scores of FBI agents and personnel – many from the bureau’s premier Washington field office (WFO) – sent anonymous complaints to the after-action team detailing how agents were sent into an unsafe scenario without proper safety equipment or the ability to identify themselves readily as armed officers to other police agencies, the report obtained by Just the News shows.

Pakistan Extends Nuclear Umbrella Over Saudi Arabia In Defense Pact

ZeroHedge

Earlier this week Islamic countries Pakistan and Saudi Arabia signed a mutual defense pact, greatly deepening and formalizing decades-long security partnership amid heightened regional tensions. Big on the minds of Gulf leaders is the long reach of Israel's military and intelligence, following last week's unprecedented strike on the capital of Qatar, which infuriated Arab leaders.

Google admitted to censoring COVID-19 content on YouTube and deplatforming users under pressure from the Biden administration, calling the government’s actions “unacceptable and wrong” in a letter to Congress on Tuesday.

"This Was Absolutely Sabotage": Trump Rages After UN Escalator, Teleprompter 'Mishaps'

ZeroHedge

And third, after making the Speech, I was told that the sound was completely off in the Auditorium where the Speech was made, that World Leaders, unless they used the interpreters’ earpieces, couldn’t hear a thing. The first person I saw at the conclusion of the Speech was Melania, who was sitting right up front. I said, “How did I do?” And she said, “I couldn’t hear a word you said.” This wasn’t a coincidence, this was triple sabotage at the UN.
