Maine Mass Shooting Suspect Robert Card Found Dead, Police Confirm
[Daily Caller] The manhunt for Maine mass shooting suspect Robert Card is over after police found him dead Friday night, authorities confirmed in a press conference.

Officials held a press conference releasing limited details regarding Card’s death, however, confirmed that the suspect was found around 7:45 p.m. in Lisbon, Maine. Officials stated that there would be another detailed press briefing Saturday morning at 10 a.m.

"And with this search concluded, I know that law enforcement continues to fully investigate all the facts. So we can bring what closure we can to the victims and their families ... Robert Card is dead," Maine Gov. Janet Mills stated.

Card was found with "an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound" to his head, near a recycling center where he had reportedly worked, police said.

Authorities noted that families of the victims as well as the suspect were notified prior to releasing the information to the public.

#1  What made this mass murders possible?

Over Restrictive Self Defense Guns laws & the Liberal policy of allowing the Mentally Ill to walk the streets, even AFTER demonstrating a history dangerous intent.

Remember this one important LIBERAL MEDIA AVOID FACT !
All it would have taken was 1 self defense armed citizen to have stopped this.

Chile's 'TikTok Narco Queen' Sabrina Duran assassinated in broad daylight
Looks like she's already been embalmed, and not all that well.
[GEO.TV] A chilling video recorded by a bystander showed a social media-famous drug pusher lying face down in the middle of a street in Santiago on Tuesday morning after being shot by a masked assailant.

Sabrina Durán, 24, famously known as 'TikTok Narco Queen', was on her way to a nail salon when she was stopped by three men in the Santiago town of Padre Hurtado, Chilean news outlets reported.

In the footage, Durán, who was a mother of one, is already seen lying on the ground trying to get up when a gunman steps forward and fires multiple shots before using her vehicle to escape, Daily Mail reported.

The Chilean police have not given a motive for the horrifying murder, but people with knowledge of the inquiry claim it was related to "settling scores."

There was no additional information given regarding who or why. However,
Switzerland makes more than cheese...
authorities discovered Durán's car set on fire in the town of Quilicura.

"We are expanding the field of investigation to see if there are more motivating (factors)," police major Leonel Muñoz told news hounds.

In 2022, Durán was arrested for drug trafficking and sentenced to three years. She attempted to escape by jumping from the third floor with other inmates before being captured.

Durán amassed more than 467,000 followers on TikTok, where she's been promoting beauty products since 2021.

On Monday, she uploaded a video reviewing items she's received from DCM Cosmetic. The cosmetic company's owner Chanel Morales told LUN newspaper that she looked past Durán's troubled background.

"I looked to her because she has many followers," Morales said.

"She attracted a lot of attention on TikTok because she was the Narco Queen, a bad girl, but her appearance and voice demonstrated the opposite.

"She was very sweet. She liked to support virtual small and medium companies."

Ex-China Premier Li Keqiang, Sidelined by Rival Xi, Dies 'Suddenly' at 68
[BREITBART] Li Keqiang, the former premier of China, is reported to have died “suddenly” on Thursday less than a year after stepping down from his post as the country’s second-highest-ranking leader. He was 68.

A heart attack has been blamed for the death of the English-speaking economist who had once been considered a contender for the country’s top job, but was passed over in favour of Xi Jinping and then sidelined.

He was the only incumbent top official who didn’t belong to Xi’s loyalists group, the BBC reports.

State media said he died at 10 minutes past midnight on Friday despite “all-out” efforts to revive him.

His death is reportedly being widely mourned on Chinese social media, with many expressing shock and grief – though comments on many posts appear to have been restricted.

“This is too sudden, he was so young,” said one user on Chinese social media site Weibo, according to the BBC. Another said his death was like losing “a pillar of our home.”

State-run news agency Xinhua said China’s foreign ministry “deeply” mourned Li’s “tragic passing”.

“An obituary will be published soon,” ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a regular briefing.

Joy Behar: ''If you shoot with an AR-15, let's say you shoot a deer, you can't eat it because you basically demolish the animal.''
[PUBLISH.TWITTER] It's kinda like hitting them with a giant mallet or a three hundred pound fly swatter. It just smashes them to pieces. It's hard to find even any of the hide. I missed a deer once and destroyed half a herd of dairy cows. Cost me a fortune to pay for the damages. I don't hunt much anymore. I'm getting on in years. It's hard for me to pick up those 5.56×45mm NATO rounds. I ain't as strong as I used to be. I'd need a forklift to pick up one of the 180-round magazines I used to use.

Britney Spears goes fully nude to celebrate 'historic' book sales
[NYPOST] Britney Spears celebrated the "historic" success of her new memoir "The Woman in Me" in an NSFW Instagram post Thursday.

The 41-year-old "Piece of Me" singer posed with her bare backside toward the camera on an unidentified beach as she covered her breasts with her arms.

The Post has contacted a rep for Spears for comment.

The "Toxic" hitmaker’s book, which hit shelves Tuesday, holds the No. 1 spot on Amazon’s Best Sellers and Barnes and Noble’s Best Sellers lists.

She thanked fans for their support in making the book a best seller Tuesday in a since-deleted Instagram post.

"It’s happening!!! My book is the highest-selling celebrity memoir in history and it’s only day 1!!!," she captioned the post.

SWAT Team Raids Home of Man Behind Harvard Truck Exposing Names of Antisemites and Terrorist Sympathizers (VIDEO)
[Gateway] Adam Guillette, the President of Accuracy in Media (AIM), had his Florida home raided by a SWAT team in the early morning hours on Friday. The armed response came after law enforcement received a false tip that Guillette was allegedly threatening his wife with a firearm, the New York Post reported.

AIM, a conservative watchdog organization, "to expose media bias, corruption, and public policy failings. Our organization empowers individuals to hold journalists as well as public and private officials accountable to achieve a well-informed free society."

The organization recently launched a public awareness campaign that displayed the names of Harvard University students who signed a letter condemning Israel in the aftermath of an October 7th attack by the Palestinian militant group Hamas. The campaign, facilitated by Guillette, involved a truck with a display bearing the names of the students, driving around the Ivy League campus.

FBI Whistleblowers Urge Americans to Watch D'Souza's New ‘Police State' Film
[PJ] Steve Friend and Kyle Seraphin both used to be FBI agents until the blatant weaponization of the FBI under Joe Biden caused them to become whistleblowers. Seraphin and Friend were among the experts D’Souza featured in "Police State," which has its virtual premiere Friday night (Oct. 27). They told me why they think this film is so important for all Americans to see in exclusive comments to PJ Media.

House Speaker Mike Johnson defends anti-LGBTQ+ views
[Guardian] Questioned about comments and actions deemed by many to be homophobic, the new Republican US House speaker, Mike Johnson of Louisiana, told Fox News his worldview was: "Go pick up a Bible."

Speaking on Thursday, Johnson said he "genuinely love[d] all people regardless of their lifestyle choices.

"This is not about the people themselves. I am a Bible-believing Christian. Someone asked me today in the media, they said, ’... People are curious. What does Mike Johnson think about any issue under the sun?’ I said, well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it — that’s my worldview. That’s what I believe and so I make no apologies for it."

Johnson added: "That’s my personal worldview."

Johnson’s rise to the speakership was confirmed on Wednesday, as the fourth candidate since Kevin McCarthy was ejected by the actions of a clutch of far-right representatives in his own congressional conference earlier this month.

The Louisianan, 51, won his final vote without Republican dissent but is a controversial pick nonetheless. Before entering Congress in 2016, he was an attorney for rightwing Christian groups and a state legislator. In both roles he advanced extreme views, particularly against abortion and LGBTQ+ rights.
