19-Year-Old Who Shot Dearborn Mall Shooter After He Killed One Man and Wounded Another Sentenced to Two Years Probation for Carrying Without a Permit– www.usacarry.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Martinez Long, 19, fatally shot Cameron Watkins at Fairlane Town Center in Dearborn, Michigan, on July 3 after Watkins killed one person and wounded another during a shooting rampage. Prosecutors and the judge agreed Long acted in self-defense or defense of others, but he was still charged with carrying a concealed weapon without a license, since Michigan does not issue concealed pistol licenses to anyone under 21.
A judge sentenced Long to two years of probation under Michigan’s Holmes Youthful Trainee Act, requiring cognitive behavioral therapy, handgun safety classes, and a prohibition on possessing firearms during probation. The case illustrates how Michigan’s age and licensing requirements for concealed carry resulted in legal consequences despite the shooting itself being deemed justified.

DEARBORN, MI — The 19-year-old who shot and killed a man firing a gun inside Fairlane Town Center on July 3 has been sentenced to two years of probation. Not for the shooting. For carrying the gun he used to stop it without a license.
Martinez Long of Oak Park stood before a judge Tuesday on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon, as reported by FOX 2 Detroit. The shooting itself was never treated as the crime.
Police were called to the mall at 1:25 p.m. Cameron Watkins had gotten into a fight with Keonte Seaborn. Watkins shot Seaborn and killed him. He shot a second person during a struggle. He kept firing inside the mall. Long shot Watkins, and the shooting stopped. Three people were hit that afternoon and two of them died.
Oil prices jumped to their highest levels since May amid renewed fighting in the Persian Gulf and investor concerns that the war in Iran will persist longer than previously thought.
Brent crude futures crossed above $107 a barrel and WTI futures neared $102. The possibility of a near-term contraction in oil supplies and a protracted war has been pushing up energy prices for several weeks, with the climb accelerating this week.
Yields on bonds issued by the U.S. government climbed to new multiyear highs. The yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries climbed 0.082 percent to 4.922 percent. That matched the post-pandemic highs hit amid raging inflation and Federal Reserve interest rate increases aimed at restoring price stability.
Shorter-term Treasury yields also rose, reflecting increased expectations for rate increases from the Fed. The yield on the 2-year Treasury rose sharply, climbing 0.114 percent to 4.541 percent.
Yields on government bonds around the world climbed. Yields on government bonds issued by Germany, the U.K., France, and Japan were higher.
Bond yield rise when bond prices fall. A rising yield reflects investors requiring higher returns for holding government securities. This can be due to rising inflation expectations, rising competition from other securities when investors expect faster growth and higher returns on stocks or corporate bonds, or a more aggressive monetary policy.
The major stock indexes in the U.S. were all down by around six-tenths of a percentage point on Thursday morning. Nine of the eleven sectors of the S&P 500 declined, with consumer staples the only one to rise. The tech heavy communications services sector was flat.
U.S. President Donald Trump speaks on stage on the first day of the 2026 Republican National Convention at the American Airlines Center on September 09, 2026 in Dallas, Texas.
Facing an uphill battle in the final weeks of an affordability-focused midterm election, President Donald Trump on Wednesday night made an audacious promise: Every adult American citizen will receive a $5,000 “dividend,” but only if Republicans are victorious in November.
While extremely light on details, the proposal quickly drew heat from critics on both sides of the aisle, including some of Trump’s own supporters. And it spurred questions of whether it would be illegal as a payment incentive to influence votes.
“I am hugely in favor of winning the midterms, and love much about this admin, but am strongly against bread and circus bribes,” Palantir co-founder and Republican donor Joe Lonsdale said on X.
Obama-Appointed Federal Judge Slammed for Bizarrely Informal Language in Ruling Against Trump Admin: ‘It’s an Embarrassment’– www.westernjournal.com News Source
EXCERPT:
A federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama was called out on social media this week by several legal commentators after she used a juvenile slang term in one of her rulings.
A Washington, D.C. Circuit panel of judges ruled Tuesday that a data-sharing agreement between the IRS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to crack down on illegal aliens is illegal, according to Courthouse News.
The three-judge panel, all Obama appointees, upheld another federal judge’s decision to stay the IRS from disclosing more addresses to ICE after it had already given the agency 47,000 records.
U.S. Circuit Judge Cornelia Pillard, who wrote the court’s 32-page opinion, was criticized for using the term “weak sauce” when describing the IRS’ argument. The term is slang for something with no substance or foundation.
“The IRS also asserts that the preliminary injunction is ‘highly unusual and harmful’ because it requires the IRS to provide the district court with ‘prior notice of criminal investigatory activity.’” Pillard wrote in the decision. “That argument is weak sauce where the district court has permitted the IRS to file any necessary notifications ‘under seal,’ thereby shielding any criminal investigative activity from disclosure.”
William Shipley, a former DOJ prosecutor, said on social media that this verbiage was an “embarrassment” and will be cited in future cases, diminishing the court’s credibility.
GOP leaders blindsided by Trump’s promise of $5K checks– www.politico.com News Source
EXCERPT:
DALLAS — Top Republican lawmakers had no idea President Donald Trump was going to promise $5,000 checks to every adult American so long as his party keeps control of Congress. Now, they’re grappling with how to handle the fallout.
GOP leaders have privately pushed back on similar Trump promises of giving money to Americans in the past year, according to four people granted anonymity to share details of closed-door meetings. Senior Republicans on Capitol Hill were blindsided by Trump’s Wednesday night announcement in Dallas, and are trying to manage lawmakers’ and voters’ expectations about a trillion-dollar-plus proposal they cannot deliver.
“The only thing that I knew of was that he has this concept of a dividend of all Americans being able to share in the success of America,” House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, who appeared supportive of the idea, said in an interview on the sidelines of the party’s midterm convention. “But last night, no, I was just like you and everybody else when I went, ‘Oh, that’s interesting. Okay.’”
NRCC Chair Richard Hudson added in an interview: “First, I’d heard of it, so I want to talk to him and get some details before I comment.” Hudson said the idea was “exciting,” but he didn’t indicate the House GOP campaign arm would start touting the idea in ads for battleground candidates.

For the last five years, the War Department has largely overlooked whistleblower warnings about the adverse effects of the COVID-19 shot on military personnel, which include rising cancer rates and even death. This total disregard by the Biden administration has long raised concerns regarding the health and safety of those who serve.
In light of this, Dr. Theresa Long, an Army doctor board-certified in aerospace medicine, has recently been appointed as the senior medical military adviser to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Her role includes examining whether COVID-19 shots contributed to the deaths of more than 2,500 military personnel.
The previous administration may have attempted to conceal the health conditions initially identified in the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED), even in the face of a “notable rise in several serious medical diagnoses,” including cancer.

EXCERPT:
Last Friday, a shootout took place at the Old Town Manassas First Friday block party. About 1,000 people were downtown when 19-year-old Xavier Wanzer and 21-year-old Tasheem Douglas exchanged fire. Douglas fired at Wanzer and hit 16-year-old Ashley Intihar. She was an innocent bystander who died from her injuries.
Wanzer then returned fire along with Talib Davis. Douglas was hit in the leg and buttocks. He is hospitalized and under arrest.
All three of the suspects have criminal records, and all of them were out on bond or on a summons. Douglas is a convicted felon and had prior arrests and charges including trespassing, assault and battery, brandishing a firearm, and other firearm-related offenses. He was last arrested in May and had an alleged probation violation in April.
“He is also out on bond from Warren County. He has severe charges pending here. He has been released on bond, yet he came back to this area and committed violence against our community. That should be frustrating to me, that should be frustrating for you,” said Chief Doug Keen.
Charlie Kirk Statue Unveiled In Time’s Square; Left-Wing Agitators Clash With Attendees– trendingpoliticsnews.com News Source
EXCERPT:
A life-size statue of Charlie Kirk was unveiled Thursday afternoon in New York City’s Times Square on the one-year anniversary of his death.
Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed on September 10, 2025, while speaking at a campus event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. The accused shooter, Tyler Robinson, has pleaded not guilty to charges that include aggravated murder.
“A life-size Charlie Kirk statue will be unveiled Thursday afternoon in New York City’s Times Square. The public will see it at 2:23 pm EST, the exact time Kirk was assassinated during a speaking engagement one year ago today,” Turning Point USA’s Frontlines said of the unveiling. Italian-born New York artist Sergio Furnari, who designed the statute, acknowledged that he would have to get “creative” with the unveiling as far-left extremists had vowed to destroy it.

Some attendees interpreted Tisch’s comments as a dig at Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch called for “moral clarity” ahead of the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks as city officials unveiled a new memorial wall at One Police Plaza on Wednesday.
Tisch, alongside Mayor Zohran Mamdani and other city officials, unveiled the wall, which includes 469 names commemorating NYPD police officers who died from illnesses related to Ground Zero. Addressing families of 9/11 first responders, Tisch said that “Preserving that history also means preserving its moral clarity.”
“The men who attacked this city were terrorists. The men and women who ran into the towers to save innocent lives were heroes,” she said. “Twenty-five years cannot be allowed to blur that distinction and shame on those who do.”
According to a report by the New York Post, Tisch’s remarks were taken by some attendees as a dig at Mayor Mamdani. This comes just days after an incident in which Mamdani signed an executive order related to recognizing September 11, then asked Tisch to hand a ceremonial pen to his chief counsel, Ramzi Kassem. Kassem is a civil rights attorney who has previously represented an Al-Qaeda terrorist.
“It definitely sounded like she took a shot at the mayor, especially after the pen incident last week,” an attendee told the outlet.
Mamdani has been facing continued criticism leading up to the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks. Last month, the Port Authority Retired Police Association sent a letter to the mayor saying he is not welcome at the memorial ceremony.
Droves of Subscribers Cancel Netflix After ‘Neck Injury’ Joke on One-Year Anniversary of Charlie Kirk Assassination– www.breitbart.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Droves of Netflix subscribers are announcing they have canceled their memberships after the streaming giant made a “neck injury” joke on the one-year anniversary of the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
“Nearly did himself a neck injury,” Netflix’s official UK and Ireland X account quipped in a Thursday caption, sharing a photo of a male character from The Gentlemen apparently straining his neck to get a better view of a woman.
The joke about a man having a “neck injury,” however, was posted on September 10, the one-year anniversary of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot in the neck while trying to have an open and respectful dialogue with a student at Utah Valley University.
Viewers were quick to notice the veiled jab, resulting in a slew of social media users taking to the comment section of Netflix UK & Ireland’s post to announce they are canceling their subscriptions.
“Cancel Netflix completely,” Jack Posobiec — conservative commentator and a close friend of Kirk’s — demanded.
“Bye,” one X user commented, sharing a screenshot of an email he recently received form Netflix informing him that his membership had been successfully canceled.
“Go to hell. Motherfuckers,” a third X user declared.
The popular conservative X account Libs of TikTok, meanwhile, revealed that her subscription had already been canceled, writing, “I’m so glad I canceled my subscription. You guys are sick.
“Years ago Netflix brought me in to discuss doing Faith based films. At the end of our meeting, the executives looked at me and said ‘we understand that there’s an audience for the kind of movies you make, we just don’t know why.’ These people are sick,” actor Kevin Sorbo disclosed.
“The worst people!” Graham Allen echoed. “No wonder NETFLIX stock has TUMBLED!”
Another X user shared a screenshot showing Netflix’s stock plummeting, writing, “Keep going.”
“You guys are sick, demented bastards, I’ve had enough,” another proclaimed, also sharing his Netflix cancelation email.
Another X user simply asked, “What the fuck is wrong with you people?”
“When your subscription service fails, this post will come back in millions of views to mock you,” another surmised, adding, “Bless you Charlie. I am sorry these people are so cruel.”
“Kind of actually insane for an official Netflix account to post this on the anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death,” another reacted.
JD Vance Warns Democrats Are Embracing Radicals Who Say ‘America Deserved 9/11’– slaynews.com News Source

Vice President JD Vance warned that Democrats have increasingly aligned themselves with radical activists who attack the American way of life, including figures who have declared that America “deserved 9/11.”
Vance issued the warning during Fox News’s coverage of the Republican National Convention in Dallas, arguing that President Donald Trump had successfully drawn a sharp contrast between the GOP agenda and the increasingly radical politics embraced by Democrats.
With the country preparing to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, Vance pointed specifically to Democrats campaigning alongside figures who have defended or downplayed anti-American rhetoric.
“So, I think what the president tried to do tonight very successfully was really two things,” Vance said.
“First of all, you got to talk about all the amazing things that we did over the last couple of years.
“No taxes on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime.
“That stuff all goes away if the Democrats take control.”

(LifeSiteNews) —Father Dan Reehil, an exorcist in the Diocese of Nashville, criticized during a Sunday homily the numerous women supporters who have rallied behind Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother whose trial for murdering her three young children ended in a mistrial last week.
During a September 6 homily focused on the need for the faithful to call out evil, Fr. Reehil briefly highlighted the insanity of the women who have come out in support of Clancy and encouraged any men dating a woman who supports her to break up with them.
As reported extensively by LifeSiteNews, Clancy evaded conviction last week for the 2023 murder of her three children when a mistrial was declared after the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict. The fact that she did it was undisputed, but the defense argued she was not responsible due to “postpartum psychosis” that allegedly brought her to a point at which she decided to end her children’s lives before attempting to kill herself.
The full clip is viewable below from about 5:25-6:36.
“There is no universe that exists where a man would kill three of his children and be going to the courthouse, and hundreds of men would show up to rally behind him. That world doesn’t exist,” Fr. Reehil said during his homily. “But somehow there’s women out there that think this is a good thing. So now we are promoting killing children outside the womb. Is this not crazy? This is crazy.”
“Yes, I understand she was on all these drugs and all the other things. Seek help, you’re a grown woman! This is a catastrophe that … and we should pray for her. I think she has demons, to be honest,” the priest added.

In an effort to find evidence on where the state was planning to build the second state-funded abortion killing center, NMAFL previously submitted several Inspection of Public Records Act (IPRA) requests. Many of these requests were denied or came up empty, indicating a concerted effort to conceal their plans for as long as possible.
Resurfaced: James Talarico Visted a Mosque After 9/11 Out of ‘Solidarity’– townhall.com News Source
EXCERPT:
In an unearthed article, Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico revealed that he visited a mosque following the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001.
Talarico revealed the news in a profile piece published by Texas Monthly in January of this year, saying that the visit was a “solidarity thing” following growing “vitriol and distrust” of the Muslim community in the United States. Talarico’s mother, who is deeply involved in Democrat politics in Texas and holds a joint bank account with her son, led the trip and brought along Talarico’s sister and two best friends.
Since that fateful trip, Islam has become a centerpiece in Talarico’s faith and political life. In 2021, Talarico filed a bill to allow Imams to perform weddings in the state of Texas. One year later, an Imam was invited to deliver a sermon at Talarico’s notorious St. Andrews Presbyterian Church. The church, which is considered to be extremely politically-active, is credited as the place where he learned to “see politics as a way of loving your neighbor.”
Thank you to the Muslim activists who helped me write House Bill 2039.
Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa announced she supports President Donald Trump’s idea for a $5,000 dividend to U.S. adults but only if it is decoupled from the 2026 midterm outcome, as he conditioned.

The two bills were among a slate of legislation approved by the Democratic-led state Legislature to thwart certain tactics and tools used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, such as arresting people who appear at courthouses for scheduled immigration hearings.

EXCERPT:
(LifeSiteNews) – On the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s murder, left-wing vitriol toward the conservative influencer has not ebbed, as evidenced by a viral video of a recent interaction between a pro-lifer and a group of pro-abortion students.
On September 6, the group Abolitionists Rising shared a video clip of the reception received by a young woman holding a sign displaying aborted baby remains, highlighting the gruesome effect of abortion pills. The location of the interaction was not shared.
The clip begins with one girl calling the activist a f***ing femcel” with a “really ugly” haircut. The conversation devolves from there, though some cursory debating of pro-abortion talking points does occur. At one point, another girl asks, “Do you even go to this school?” to which the pro-lifer answers, “No, I’m not even from here.”
“Okay, then why the f*** are you here?” the questioner follows up, answered by “to have conversations.”
“You’re going to get Charlie Kirked someday if you keep doing this kind of s***,” the interrogator declares.
Scientists study 3,000 supernovas and discover that dark energy may be evolving– www.space.com News Source
EXCERPT:
A catalog of almost 3,000 white dwarfs that exploded as type Ia supernovas after overfeeding on companion stars indicates that dark energy, the mysterious force accelerating the expansion of the universe, is changing over time.
The discovery, in conjunction with data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES), backs results revealed from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) published in 2024 that suggested dark energy’s influence is weakening.
That means that the team’s research doesn’t just involve the most comprehensive catalog of type Ia supernovas; it presents the clearest picture yet of the evolution of the universe and the influence of dark energy.
“We’ve rebuilt 3 decades of astronomical observations into a single, consistent framework,” team member Ryan Camilleri of the University of Queensland said in a statement.“We combined our data with other cosmic measurements, including relic light from the Big Bang and maps of how galaxies are distributed through space.
“Instead of confirming the standard model of cosmology, which assumes dark energy is fixed and unchanging, we have more evidence that dark energy may change over time.”
Democrats’ ‘Armed Attack’ Narrative Unravels as Police Reveal What Really Happened at Amy Acton Event– slaynews.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Democrats’ claims that an armed man “lunged” at Ohio gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton in a violent “attack” are unraveling after police released a dramatically different account of what happened.
Acton’s campaign initially announced that an “armed individual” had “lunged” at the Democrat during Sunday’s Canfield Fair, leaving “multiple people” injured.
The alarming account rapidly triggered condemnations of “political violence” from prominent Democrats across the country.
However, the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office subsequently revealed that the suspect’s weapons were never drawn and that the two people who fell were knocked over as security confronted the man while he pushed through the crowd.
Acton herself was never injured.
Police have also refrained from describing the confrontation as an “attack” or attempted assassination.

The incident unfolded at approximately 2:30 p.m. while Acton was visiting the Mahoning County Democratic Party tent at the Canfield Fair.
Shortly afterward, Acton’s campaign released a statement portraying the encounter as an armed assault.
“While attending the Canfield Fair, an armed individual lunged at Dr. Acton, injuring multiple people,” the campaign said.
Canada tariffs up to 50% come into effect on $27.6 billion U.S. goods– www.cnbc.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on a swathe of U.S. goods took effect on Tuesday after trade talks collapsed last month, as relations between Washington and Ottawa continue to sour.
The duties range from 15% to 50% across $27.6 billion worth of U.S. products, including dairy, agricultural equipment, paper, household appliances and electronics. Canadian tariffs on U.S. steel, aluminum and iron products doubled to 50%, while furniture and clothing were also hit with the highest rate.
Canada called the move a “dollar for dollar” response to U.S. levies on its own goods, which have been targeted by Section 338 tariffs. Its Department of Finance said it would protect Canadian workers, producers and manufacturers by allowing them to better compete with U.S. products sold in the domestic market.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday called for a boycott of Canadian airplane manufacturer Bombardier, posting on Truth Social: “NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES!”
The U.S. exported $333.6 billion worth of goods to Canada, and imported $381.9 billion from its northern neighbor. The pair share trade in many of the same sectors, including energy, vehicles, heavy machinery, aircraft, pharmaceuticals, gems and jewelry, furniture, clothing and a host of foods and drinks.

The second and final day of the historical Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas kicked off Thursday afternoon, after a hard charging first day, with speakers emphasizing the high stakes of the upcoming November election.
Featured speakers for Day 2 of the “Trump-a-palooza” include Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump Jr., Vice President JD Vance, and once again, President Donald Trump.
One of the first speakers, Baptist Pastor Robert Jeffress took the opportunity to excoriate James Talerico, the woke Texas Democrat running against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for Senate.
“The beliefs of James Talarico are certainly wrong, but they’re more than wrong. The beliefs of James Talarico are blasphemous. They are evil. And they are not beliefs that any true Christian can support,” preached Jeffress, the Senior Pastor at the First Baptist Church Dallas.
The far-left Talerico has been a frequent target of GOP barbs throughout the convention.
