> An 8-year-old and 10-year-old sitting in pews were killed when a shooter opened fire through the windows of a church at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning, police said.

> Seventeen others were injured in the shooting during a Mass that marked the first week of school, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said.

> Fourteen of the injured victims were children ages 6 to 15, and the three adults who were shot were parishioners in their 80s, he said. All of those injured are expected to survive, O'Hara said.

> The shooter died at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, O’Hara said. The FBI identified the shooter as 23-year-old Robin Westman, who was born Robert Westman.

> Driver's license information reviewed by ABC News described Westman as a female, born on June 17, 2002. A name change application for a minor born on the same date, June 17, 2002, was approved by a district court in Minnesota in 2020, changing the name of a Robert Westman to Robin Westman, explaining the minor child "identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification."

> The mass shooting unfolded just before 8:30 a.m. when the shooter approached the side of the building and fired a rifle through the church windows toward the children and other worshippers sitting in the pews, O’Hara said.

> Dozens of rounds were fired, the chief said, and he called it a "deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people worshipping."

Trump moves to ban flag burning despite Supreme Court ruling that Constitution allows it

https://apnews.com/article/trump-executive-order-flag-burning-4628d588350db4f6baf10ae1d91f49c1?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order requiring the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute people for burning the American flag, an activity that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled is legitimate political expression protected by the U.S. Constitution.

The order the Republican president signed in the Oval Office acknowledged the court’s 5-4 ruling in a case from Texas in 1989, but said there is still room to prosecute flag burning if it “is likely to incite imminent lawless action” or amounts to “fighting words.”

In that case, the justices ruled 5-4 that the First Amendment protects flag burning as legitimate political expression. The late Justice Antonin Scalia, the conservative icon who Trump has repeatedly praised, was in the majority.

Trump said Monday that burning the U.S. flag “incites riots at levels we’ve never seen before,” with some people “going crazy” over burning it and others expressing anger at people for burning it. He did not offer examples.

The text of the executive order states that desecrating the American flag is “uniquely offensive and provocative. It is a statement of contempt, hostility, and violence against our Nation — the clearest possible expression of opposition to the political union that preserves our rights, liberty, and security. Burning this representation of America may incite violence and riot.”

AG Jason Miyares conducted an investigation into the school and the findings were released by complainants.

Miyares alleges that Roanoke College denied the biological female swimmers 'accomodations, advantages, and privileges on the basis of sex, caused the women emotional, physical, and dignitary harms, and violated the Virginia Human Rights Act.'

Roanoke College 'categorically denies the unsubstantiated allegation that its trustees, faculty, staff, coaches, or administration violated the human rights of any students or retaliated against them in any way,' the school said in a statement provided to Daily Mail Sport.

Miyares suggested the biological female swimmers are eligible to seek financial damages. While there is no recorded instance of a school having to pay damages to biological women for competing with trans women, there are multiple lawsuits being litigated across the country over similar situations.

The male-to-female trans swimmer initially joined the team in 2023. However, after biological female swimmers met with the athletic director multiple times to voice complaints and multiple letters to the school's administration were written, the trans athlete in question withdrew from the team.

It turns out Bolton's home was raided because during Biden's presidency intelligence officials stole information from a foreign adversary's spy agency which contained emails sent by John Bolton containing classified information. They were sent over unclassified email, and he was leaking the information to write his book.

John Bolton Inquiry Eyes Emails Obtained by Foreign Government
It is not clear what country intercepted Mr. Bolton’s private emails, but the investigation into President Trump’s former national security adviser picked up momentum under the Biden administration.

The investigation into President Trump’s former national security adviser, John R. Bolton, began to pick up momentum during the Biden administration, when U.S. intelligence officials collected information that appeared to show that he had mishandled classified information, according to people familiar with the inquiry.
The United States gathered data from an adversarial country’s spy service, including emails with sensitive information that Mr. Bolton, while still working in the first Trump administration, appeared to have sent to people close to him on an unclassified system, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive case that remains open.
The investigation of Mr. Bolton, who has become an ardent critic of the president, burst back into public view last week when federal agents searched his Maryland home and Washington office.

23-year-old who died of cancer after refusing chemo had ‘five coffee enemas a day’

A 23-year-old British woman who died after refusing conventional cancer treatment was allegedly undergoing “five coffee enemas a day” under the care of her mother, a controversial health influencer.

Paloma Shemirani’s brother made the claim this week during an inquest into her death, which came seven months after doctors told the Cambridge graduate she had an 80% chance of surviving non-Hodgkin lymphoma with chemotherapy, according to the BBC.

Instead, she pursued an unproven alternative cancer regimen promoted by her mother, Kate Shemirani, who claimed to have used it successfully in the past.

Paloma died of a heart attack on July 24 last year, caused by an untreated tumor.

In written statements before her death, she denied having cancer at all, calling the diagnosis an “absurd fantasy, with no proof,” per the BBC. She also expressed fears that chemotherapy might leave her infertile.

“I do not want to undergo such a harsh treatment that could even kill me when there is a possibility this is not cancer,” she wrote.

Her parents, Kate and Faramarz Shemirani, told the BBC they believe Paloma “died as a result of medical interventions given without confirmed diagnosis or lawful consent.” The outlet has not been able to substantiate their claims.

Paloma’s brothers, Sebastian and Gabriel, have publicly blamed their mother for fostering her distrust in modern medicine.

“My sister has passed away as a direct consequence of my mum’s actions and beliefs and I don’t want anyone else to go through the same pain or loss that I have,” Gabriel told the BBC.

Growing up in the small Sussex town of Uckfield, Gabriel said the “soundtrack” to their household included conspiracy theorist Alex Jones — with claims that the Sandy Hook school shooting was staged and that 9/11 “was an inside job.”

Scientists say San Diego air is filled with poop particulates, poisonous glasses, and methamphetamine at levels greater than 4,500 times normal urban levels. Residents describe the sensation of breathing San Diego air as feeling "poisoned"

Scientists warn San Diego County air laced with toxic ‘sewer gas’

The unfettered flow of wastewater from the Tijuana River has not only been threatening Southern California’s beaches, but it has also unleashed alarming amounts of toxic gas in area communities, a new study has found.

The cross-border waterway, which originates in Mexico’s Baja California, has been emitting hydrogen sulfide — known as “sewer gas” due to its rotten egg smell — at peak concentrations 4,500 times greater than typical urban levels, according to the study, published Thursday in Science.

“The community was experiencing major respiratory issues, major health issues, couldn’t sleep,” senior author Kimberly Prather told reporters on a Wednesday press call.

“They felt they were being poisoned, and they felt they weren’t being listened to,” added Prather, an atmospheric chemist at the University of California, San Diego, Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Prather was referring to San Diego County’s southernmost residents, such as those of Imperial Beach, who have long been subject to the passage of polluted wastewater from Mexico via ocean plumes and the Tijuana River

This fetid flow — filled with both pathogens and toxic chemicals — stems from inadequate treatment near Tijuana, shuttering beaches and sickening Navy SEALs for years.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin and his Mexican counterpart last month took steps toward a solution by signing a memorandum of understanding.
