An infant was shot to death by a toddler who found a long gun while sitting the back of a car in a parking lot, Texas police say.

Three children were sitting in a silver SUV at the parking lot of the Audie L. Murphy VA Medical Center in San Antonio on Monday afternoon when one of the children found the loaded gun, according to San Antonio Police Chief William McManus. The female adult in the car was waiting for a medical appointment, police said.

‘Police said they had not yet determined the owner of the gun.’

The toddler fired the gun in the backseat, striking the infant who was between 10 and 11 months old, McManus said at a media briefing. Paramedics from the medical center tried to save the child, but they pronounced the infant dead at the scene.

The two other children were aged 2 and 3 years old. Police said they had not yet determined the owner of the gun.

Police initially said the incident was being investigated as a tragic accident, and no charges were being considered, but they later confirmed that they may file criminal negligence charges depending on the outcome of their investigation.

McManus said they had not yet determined the relationship between the female in the car and the three children during the preliminary investigation.

A news video report from KENS-TV showed scenes from the parking lot and can be viewed on YouTube.

Baltimore police said a suspect in a viral video showing a Ravens’ fan brutally beating two rival fans has turned himself in after an online campaign to bring him to justice.

The video showed a man in a Ravens jersey march up to two men wearing Washington Commanders’ jerseys and assault them in what appeared to be an unprovoked attack.

‘Charging documents said that Callis had been captured on surveillance video assaulting one of the men before the events of the viral video.’

Social media users were outraged by the video and went to work to try to identify the man in order to bring him to justice. Some claimed to have identified his place of work and pressured the insurance company until it announced that it had fired the suspect.

Then, on Friday, Baltimore police said they had issued a warrant for 24-year-old John Callis.

On Monday, Callis surrendered to Baltimore Police’s Southern District station after coming to an agreement with police, according to his attorney.

Charging documents said that Callis had been captured on surveillance video assaulting one of the men before the events of the viral video. He allegedly punched one man, leading the other to defend the victim before being assaulted himself. A third man in a Commanders jersey intervened in the fight, as well as a woman, according to police. When they separated, the woman stayed with Callis while the three victims fled.

The men who were assaulted told police that they had returned to the area in order to look for a lost cell phone when Callis attacked them again, as seen in the viral video.

Police said that one of the men suffered a concussion as well several bodily bruises while the other two suffered only minor injuries.

Callis had previously been arrested for beating up a man in 2021 and was given probation and a fine for that incident.

A news report from WTTG-TV showed Callis in police shackles, which can be viewed on YouTube.

Although The Hill certainly can’t be accused of being in Donald Trump’s corner and, as far as I can tell, has leaned left throughout this presidential campaign, its reporters lost no time telling us that Kamala Harris messed up her interview with Bret Baier on Fox News. The Hill’s description of the interview used the word “disaster” several times to underscore the truly appalling character of Harris’ clumsy attempts to grapple with Baier’s questioning.

Contrary to the totally dishonest defense that the vice president received in much of the corporate left-wing media, The Hill further explained that American media was responsible for Kamala’s interview catastrophe.

If Baier seemed to be interrupting Harris repeatedly, he had every reason to do so. She was filibustering.

The legacy media, according to The Hill, never bothered to give our vice president any serious questions. The media avoided asking her those obvious things that Baier brought up in the narrow 20-minute interview that Kamala’s handlers granted him. For example, when exactly did she learn that the president under whom she was serving was afflicted with senile dementia? For years, Harris never let on that she grasped that glaringly obvious reality. She went on praising Joe Biden’s mental acumen, up until the moment Democratic kingmakers installed her as their presidential nominee. The friendly media should have been asking Kamala about why she hid Biden’s frailty. If the media had done its job, she might have had a reasonable response to Baier’s query.

The interview for me raised another question: Why would Kamala’s handlers have permitted her to undergo the ordeal of an unscripted interview?

Their candidate had been running neck-and-neck with and possibly slightly ahead of Trump for about two months, and it might have been possible to run out the clock without exposing Harris to a systematic grilling courtesy of a relentlessly thorough interviewer. By now it’s clear that she doesn’t think fast on her feet; and she’s already “unburdened herself” of multiple, embarrassing word salads when responding to effusively friendly talk show hosts. It might have been best, her advisers should have reasoned, not to put her into a demanding situation that was above her pay grade. (I think we can all agree with Trump that this lady is not very smart.)

The one time Harris apparently ventured out beyond tightly controlled situations was during her debate with Trump in September. But even then, she had been allowed to rattle off memorized lines, mostly depicting her opponent as a fascist ogre. And this debate took place under the aegis of biased moderators, who acted as if they were Kamala’s loving babysitters.

I suspect her handlers agreed to that short interview with Baier because they thought it would be a win-win situation. Her appearance on Fox News would create the impression that she was reaching out to Republicans, just as Trump went into strongly blue areas to appeal to possible voters there. Presumably at least some Fox viewers — anti-Trump Republicans — could be won over to vote blue. Since the time permitted for that interview kept getting whittled down, from half an hour to about 20 minutes, Kamala would not be exposing herself to the unknown for very long.

Her handlers further assumed that Kamala could get by during the abbreviated interview by rehashing the anti-Trump rhetoric that she had dutifully recited for the debate. Please note that the most animated responses that she gave to Baier’s questions were restatements of what she had unleashed against Trump. She, therefore, went back to the same invectives even if they didn’t relate to the questions Baier asked during the interview. If Baier seemed to be interrupting her repeatedly, he had every reason to do so. Harris was filibustering. Instead, she launched into anti-Trump rants as the questioning proceeded, and that made the interview difficult to conduct.

Perhaps the major factor that got Harris and her team to accept the interview was the choice of the interviewer. Although a celebrity on a Republican-leaning channel, Baier is not known to bear any affection for Donald Trump. He has never held back from going after Trump’s claim to have won the 2020 presidential race. He also plays up “bigly” his mediating role in seeking “common ground” with Democrats.

If I were a Democrat deciding to be interviewed on a Republican channel, I would have been truly delighted if Baier were the one asking the questions. What happened, however, was not at all what Harris expected. Baier came out, entirely to his credit, asking tough, well-phrased questions and tried to keep his interviewee from segueing into her anti-Trump invective. That and being for nationwide unrestricted abortion rights for women continue to be Kamala’s only talking points, when she’s not belaboring her listener with unintelligible word salads.

Quite predictably, the leftist media went after Baier for not doing what was expected of him, which was helping to get Harris elected. But Baier wouldn’t release his quarry, a decision for which he should be commended.

A 14-year-old boy punched a drug-pushing male in the head after the male lunged at the teen last month in Pueblo, Colorado.

With that, the male fell and hit his head on the street — and died weeks later. Pueblo police said they believe the teen was acting in self-defense, KOAA-TV reported.

The station said the Pueblo County Coroner’s Office will release the identity of the male in question at a later time.

Around 5 p.m. Sept. 27, police arrived in the 1100 block of York Street — which is located near the East 4th Street and Highway 50 interchange — and said the boy was providing aid to a male “experiencing homelessness,” the station reported.

Police told KOAA they learned the male approached the boy and asked him if he wanted to “smoke drugs.”

Police told the station the boy declined and tried to leave, but the male continued to try to talk to the boy.

With that, the male lunged at the boy, and the boy punched the male in the head, KOAA said.

Police said the male fell and hit his head on the street, the station reported, adding that he was taken to a hospital, where he died from his injuries Oct. 12.

Police told KOAA they believe the teenager acted in self-defense, and at the moment, no charges have been filed against the boy.

The station said the Pueblo County Coroner’s Office will release the identity of the male in question at a later time.

Police added to KOAA that they’re still investigating the case, and if you have any information about the incident to call Det. Shay at 719-553-2445. The station also said if you want to remain anonymous, you can call Pueblo Crime Stoppers at 719-542-7867.

One-third of the population of Tapachula, Mexico, is now made up of migrants who plan to cross the border.

Todd Bensman, a senior fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, explains that these 150,000 immigrants are trapped behind a militarized cordon of Mexican military operation, in order “to keep them from creating a political spectacle at our border.”

“This goes back to a deal that was done in December of 2023, in order to reduce the total numbers that were being seen crossing and driving the polls down. So 150,000 is an astronomical number that are hemmed up here in this enclave, this migrant kind of Gaza Strip, if you will,” he tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight.”

The migrants in Tapachula “are in absolute torment,” as all the resources available to them have been used up.

“The people are sleeping on the streets, there’s no room in shelters, there’s no room in the hotels, and they just keep pile-driving in because they fear that Donald Trump is going to win,” Bensman says.

“There’s a real sense of urgency among the immigrants here, and they’ve started to form caravans to kind of force their way out of Tapachula, to escape Tapachula,” he continues. “There’s about another thousand or 2,000 forming up right now in downtown Tapachula to get ready to push on to another city down here, providing that the Mexican military will let them pass.”

These immigrants aren’t just from Mexico; they’re from all over the world.

“All of them just sort of keep coming with this hope that soon the Mexicans will relent and let them through. And that’s the big question: Will the Mexicans relent on the deal that they made with Biden at the time he was running for office?” Bensman asks.

Peterson is shocked.

“We’re old enough to remember, all of us here, when kids in cages were a terrible thing. Now, it’s hundreds of thousands of kids can go missing and it’s fine here. You have cities in cages,” he says.

“Not a single person is talking about this in legacy media. It’s insane,” he adds.

An economic collapse in the communist controlled economy of Cuba is straining its relations with communist China resulting in an unexpected report.

Cuba experienced a massive electrical blackout due to deteriorating infrastructure and damaging embargoes from the U.S., but rather than implement free market solutions, the communist government insists on failing with ideological purity.

‘The strained relationship is reflected in a precipitous drop of Chinese imports to Cuba, which went from $1.7 billion in 2017 to $1.1 billion.’

According to a report in the Financial Times, Chinese officials are exasperated with their Caribbean island compatriots. They cite economists and diplomats briefed in the situation between China and Cuba.

The sources said that China publicly supported Cuba’s vertically planned economy, but in private, Chinese officials have urged the island regime to follow the Chinese economic model with market-oriented elements.

The report said Chinese officials are “perplexed and frustrated” at Cuban leaders overlooking glaring disfunction in order to perpetuate the state-run economy.

The strained relationship is reflected in a precipitous drop of Chinese imports to Cuba, which went from $1.7 billion in 2017 to $1.1 billion only five years later.

Cuba is in its fourth day without power to about 10 million residents. Communist leaders blamed U.S. embargoes for the worsening power situation, but U.S. officials denied the accusations.

“The United States is not to blame for today’s blackout on the island, or the overall energy situation in Cuba,” said the spokesperson for the White House National Security Council.

Some Cuban residents have protested against the government’s failures by banging pots and pans while disrupting traffic.

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel responded by warning that the government was “not going to allow acts of vandalism and much less alter the tranquility of our people.”

The situation is expected to deteriorate even more after Hurricane Oscar made landfall on Sunday in Cuba.

Donald Trump may be a lot of things, but one thing that stands out from the rest is his unparalleled sense of humor.

The former president flexed his comedic muscle in a roast of the Democrats at the 2024 Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in New York City — and none of them were marked safe from his ire, especially Kamala Harris, who did not show up at the dinner, making it the first time since Walter Mondale that both presidential candidates have not been in attendance.

“Chuck Schumer is here, looking very glum,” Trump said. “He looks glum. But look on the bright side, Chuck. Considering how woke your party has become, if Kamala loses, you still have a chance to become the first woman president.”

Trump also went after Kamala’s supporters, specifically her very loud white male supporters.

“There’s a group called ‘White Dudes for Harris,’ have you seen this?” Trump asked the audience. “I’m not worried about them at all, because their wives and their wives’ lovers are all voting for me. Every one of those people are voting for me.”

But perhaps one of his best jokes of the night was pointed at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Kamala’s VP pick.

“Unfortunately Governor Walz isn’t here himself, but don’t worry, he’s going to say that he was,” Trump said, to thunderous applause.

While there’s no doubt that many liberals were frustrated to see Trump put on such a great performance, others were able to laugh along — including CNN’s Brian Stelter, who said he was funny and “got a few great jokes in.”

“Trump is objectively funny,” Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” tells Glenn Beck on “The Glenn Beck Program.” “You should be able to admit it, and I give credit to Stelter for admitting it.”

“He is really funny,” Glenn agrees. “And he has no problem making fun of himself. Last night he said, ‘You know, they told me I should do some self-deprecating jokes, but I got nothing.’”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton called on the Federal Election Commission to investigate evidence he uncovered of possible illegal foreign donations through ActBlue.

‘I am calling on the FEC to immediately begin rulemaking to secure our elections from any criminal actors exploiting these vulnerabilities.’

Paxton issued a statement about the results of his investigation into the Democratic donation portal on Monday.

“Our investigation into ActBlue has uncovered facts indicating that bad actors can illegally interfere in American elections by disguising political donations,” said Paxton. “It is imperative that the FEC close off the avenues we have identified by which foreign contributions or contributions in excess of legal limits could be unlawfully funneled to political campaigns, bypassing campaign finance regulations and compromising our electoral system.”

Paxton initiated his investigation into ActBlue in Dec. 2023, and the portal’s directors responded by adding another security measure to credit card users on the site. Paxton said that was not enough, however.

“I am calling on the FEC to immediately begin rulemaking to secure our elections from any criminal actors exploiting these vulnerabilities,” he added.

In July, independent investigators reported finding evidence of suspicious donations to ActBlue. Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares opened an investigation and called on ActBlue to explain the alleged evidence that donations were “being made from fictional donors or dummy accounts, or that information reported by or through ActBlue may be fraudulent.”

ActBlue officials accused the AG of adding credibility to a “years-long disinformation and harassment” campaign against the portal.

“This investigation is nothing more than a partisan political attack and scare tactic to undermine the power of Democratic and progressive small-dollar donors,” the statement from ActBlue stated. “We welcome the opportunity to respond to these frivolous claims.”

The portal has also dumped several Political Action Committee organizations that were being accused of behaving like “Scam PACs” that promise to aid campaigns but instead spent lavishly to the benefit of organizers.

An ActBlue spokesperson said only that the PACs were jettisoned over their misuse of the information available on the portal.

The Harris-Walz campaign has reported raising over a billion dollars in campaign donations, dwarfing previous presidential successes.
