[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Texas mom was arrested for allegedly purchasing ammunition and tactical gear for her son, who was accused of planning 'mass violence' at his San Antonio middle school.
Ashley Pardo,
…based on that photo, she looks like the kind of ambitious mama eager to give her son a leg up in the family business…
33, was arrested for aiding in the commission of terrorism after she allegedly made a slew of concerning purchases for her son, including ammunition magazines, a tactical vest, a helmet, and army clothing, according to an arrest affidavit.
The boy's grandmother told authorities that she found magazines loaded with live ammunition and an bomb with the words, 'For Brenton Tarrant,' written on it.
Tarrant is a white supremacist who was convicted of killing over 50 people praying at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019.
The grandmother also found a note with the names of mass shooters and their victims.
He allegedly told his grandmother that he was 'going to be famous' before Pardo picked him up from school on Monday morning, law enforcement told ABC News.
The motivation being fame rather than killing Moslems, but what about the apparent gang connection through his mother? Leaving it on Page 1: WoT for now.
The grandmother had seen the boy 'hitting a live bullet with a hammer' and he allegedly told her that Pardo purchased him 'guns and ammunition.'
Pardo had allegedly bought the gear for her son in exchange for babysitting his younger siblings, the arrest affidavit noted.
Queer leftist nonbinary anti-police activist Preston Casey Palmer, of Minneapolis, was arrested in a child s—x sting. Citizen "child predator hunter" Alex Rosen alleges Palmer thought he was meeting a parent who was willing to let his child be s—xually abused.
… Palmer has a history of radical leftist social media posts seeking the abolishment of law enforcement. He has expressed hatred of my journalism. He also has pressured Minneapolis Public Schools
@MPS_News
to cut ties with police in order to "protect" children.
I have reached out to the Minneapolis Park Police for comment.

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] In the United States of America, in the city of Springfield, a man shot a cook because of bacon in a sandwich, which he does not like. This was reported by the WWLP TV channel.
According to the internet, WWLP is in Springfield, Massachusetts rather than any of the many other Springfields across the country.
The article states that in 2022, American John Brown Jr., according to recordings from the bar's surveillance cameras, communicated with the establishment's chef, Benito Agronom, but when he handed him a dish with bacon, he began to quarrel with him.
The argument quickly escalated into a fight. As a result, the customer threatened to kill the cook and left the bar. About half an hour later, he returned with a gun and shot his opponent several times. The cook could not be saved. Brown Jr. was arrested. He was given 18 years in prison.
In 2022 the Biden-Harris administration had everyone riled up, and in many places the police were not permitted to do anything about it, especially in the Blue areas of the country.
And WHY do vegans keep demanding fake meat? Shouldn't they just eat their murdered plants as plants? If they want 'meat' that isn't meat, I think it shows a very deep seated self-hated and admittance are wrong.
[Breitbart] Planned Parenthood released its 2023-2024 annual report over Mother’s Day weekend, revealing record abortions and taxpayer funding.
The report, called “A Force For Hope,” states that 402,230 unborn babies were killed in abortions, up from 392,715 the previous year. At the same time, the organization received $792.2 million in taxpayer funding, up almost $100 million from the previous year.
The report’s release comes as congressional Republicans weigh defunding Planned Parenthood and other abortion organizations through budget reconciliation. Defunding abortion providers through the reconciliation process would allow the Senate to bypass the critical 60-vote threshold for a simple majority vote instead, capitalizing on Republicans’ overall trifecta. While federal funding for abortions specifically is barred by the Hyde Amendment, pro-life opponents argue no federal funds should be used to prop up any organization that performs abortions.
According to the pro-life organization Live Action, Planned Parenthood only accounted for nine of 86 Title X grant recipients — although Planned Parenthood likely makes up 40 percent of all abortions in the U.S. when compared to the Guttmacher Institute’s 2024 estimate of 1,038,100 total abortions.
Planned Parenthood’s report highlights that the organization is working “to block abortion bans in states around the country since the loss of the federal right to abortion in 2022,” and that it is part of “approximately 30 open cases, including challenges to abortion bans as well as lawsuits against Medicaid and medication abortion restrictions, medically unnecessary ultrasound and waiting period requirements, and other barriers to care.”
The report details Planned Parenthood’s other services besides abortion, showing some significantly increasing since the last report, while others have steeply declined.
Prenatal services were up 11 percent from the previous year at 7,008,
…up to 7000 across the entire country?? How does that compare to long term trends, because it seems an absurdly low number…
and adoption referrals were up 25 percent, from approximately 1,700 to 2,100. Total clients were up by 1.5 percent to 2.08 million, and “total services” were up 3.49 percent, which includes each of the 943,104 pregnancy tests counting as a service. Net assets and total liabilities was up to $3.1 billion, the “highest ever recorded” according to Live Action.
Some decreases in 2023-24 documented by the pro-life organization include:
Excess revenue over expenses: down nearly 85 percent, from $178.6M to $27.4M
Private revenue: down 31 percent from $997.5M to $684M
Total contraceptive services: down just over 1 percent
STI testing/treatment: down 11 percent
Overall cancer screenings: down 8 percent
Breast screenings: down 10 percent
Pap tests: down 12 percent
Planned Parenthood is the second largest provider of so-called “gender-affirming care” — a left-wing euphemism for sex-mutilation surgiers and drugs given to people who identify as transgender. In 2022, the organization reported that 41 of its 49 affiliates provided such services, including puberty blockers for minors and cross-sex hormones, according to the Senate HELP Committee.
However, Planned Parenthood mixes “gender-affirming care” into its “other procedures” category, which makes tracking more difficult. The “other procedures” category includes “WIC services (a federally funded nutrition program for low-income women, infants, and children up to the age of five), pediatric care, transgender services, other adult preventive care, and high complexity visits, including infertility services,” according to the report.
The report lists almost 78,000 “other procedures,” which interestingly reflects a significant drop within the past several years.
“In past years, the “other procedures” category climbed over 1500 percent (~16k in 2020 to ~257k in 2021), with some suspecting “gender-affirming” services to be the cause,” Live Action detailed. “However, the 2022-23 report’s “other procedures” category fell by 30 percent (to ~177k) and dropped another 56 percent the current year (to ~78k).
The fad is fading? That’s very, very good.
“By not specifying the services provided under broad categories, Planned Parenthood could easily bury these numbers wherever it chooses from year to year, making it nearly impossible to track based on annual reports,” the pro-life organization noted.
[JustTheNews] The charging documents accuse Kseniia Petrova of smuggling clawed frog embryos and embryonic samples into the U.S. through the Logan International Airport in Boston in February, stating she failed to declare the material and get a permit.
The Justice Department on Wednesday charged Harvard researcher Kseniia Petrova, who is originally from Russia and fled the country in 2022, with smuggling over failing to disclose scientific samples she had in her luggage earlier this year.
The charging documents accuse Petrova of smuggling clawed frog embryos and embryonic samples into the U.S. through Logan International Airport in Boston in February, stating she failed to declare the material and get a permit.
Petrova allegedly told investigators that she was not sure whether she had to declare the material when coming into the U.S. but text messages on her phone revealed a colleague allegedly reminding the scientist to declare them.
"If you bring samples or antibody back, make sure you get the permission etc,'" one text message read. “What is your plan to pass the American Customs with samples? This is the most delicate place of the trajectory.”
Petrova admitted to the colleague that she did not have a plan for getting the material into the U.S. because she could not "swallow" the samples.
The revelation occurred after Petrova attended an immigration hearing in Vermont, where the federal judge scheduled a bail hearing for the scientist later this month, per the New York Times.
Attorneys for Petrova said the incident would normally result in a fine and be treated as a small infraction, but a Customs officer canceled her J-1 visa and arranged for her deportation.
“Almost immediately after the hearing, we were blindsided by the unsealing of a meritless criminal complaint,” Petrova's attorney Gregory Romanovsky said. “The timing of Kseniia’s transfer out of ICE custody into criminal custody is especially suspect because it happened right after the judge set a bail hearing for her release.”
The criminal charge will now carry a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, a term of up to five years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000.
Elections have consequences, as they say. The rules changed, and she got caught.

[Regnum] On the morning of May 14, a flare of the penultimate power class (M) occurred on the Sun. This was reported on May 14 by the press service of the Institute of Applied Geophysics (Federal State Budgetary Institution "IPG").
“On May 14 at 06:25 Moscow time, an M5.3 flare lasting 37 minutes was recorded in the X-ray range in the sunspot group 4087 (N17E68),” the institute’s website said.
It is specified that at 10:45 Moscow time, a solar flare M1.2 was also recorded. Solar flares are divided into five classes: A, B, C, M and X, depending on their power. They can be accompanied by emissions of solar plasma, clouds of which, upon reaching the Earth, can lead to magnetic storms.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on the evening of April 5, a flare of the penultimate M class was also recorded on the Sun. Solar activity began at 22:46 Moscow time and continued for about half an hour.
Earlier, on March 28, a flare of the highest X-score occurred on the Sun. It was specified that before that, a flare of the highest level was registered on February 23. At the same time, according to scientists, part of the energy was most likely shielded by the solar disk, and therefore the actual score of the flare may be even higher.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The sun has unleashed the strongest solar flare of the year, triggering strong radio blackouts across the globe.
Just after 11:30 a.m. ET, a massive X2.7-class solar flare erupted from a newly emerging from a cold, dark region known as AR4087.
That was yesterday — I completely missed it.
X-class flares are the most intense in the solar storm scale — capable of disrupting communications, damaging satellites, and even threatening power grids on Earth.
These flares are born from sunspots — dark, cooler areas on the Sun’s surface where intense magnetic activity builds up.
When that magnetic energy is suddenly released, it can launch powerful bursts of plasma and radiation into space at the speed of light.
If directed at Earth, these high-energy waves can ionize the upper atmosphere, creating radiation storms that interfere with high-frequency radio signals and other technology-dependent systems.
Tuesday’s flare was rated an X2.7, placing it on the lower end of the most dangerous class of solar flares, but still powerful enough to impact large swaths of the planet.
Experts warn that more flares may be on the way as sunspot AR4087 rotates into direct alignment with Earth in the coming days, increasing the chances of further solar storms.
The flare sent X-rays and extreme ultraviolet radiation hurtling toward Earth at the speed of light, rapidly ionizing the upper atmosphere.
In other words, this sudden surge of radiation caused electrons to break away from molecules in the outermost layer of the atmosphere, making it electrically charged.
This charge disrupted high-frequency radio signals, leading to communication blackouts for some radio operators in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
These regions were the only ones affected because they were on the daylight side of Earth when the solar flare erupted.
Experts say we can expect more solar flares through next week as sunspot AR4087 rotates to directly face Earth.
'This is getting intense, especially as this active region turns closer into view,' aurora chaser Vincent Ledvina wrote in a post on X early Wednesday morning.
Following the X-class flare, the sunspot unleashed another burst of energy — an M5.3-class solar flare, he added.
'What does this [active region] have planned over the next days... we'll have to wait and see,' Ledvina wrote.
U.S. engineers have discovered mysterious, undocumented communication devices lurking in some Chinese-made solar power inverters and batteries Reuters reported.
“The rogue components provide additional, undocumented communication channels that could allow firewalls to be circumvented remotely, with potentially catastrophic consequences,” said Reuters’ sources, who spoke anonymously because they had not been given permission to speak on the record.
Is the threat exaggerated, or merely not even slightly new?
January 2025 looked bad with a 1.1% increase and Feb looked almost as bad with a 0.4% increase but March and April 2025 looked much better with a -0.1 and +0.2 change respectively.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
