The Riverside Sheriff’s Office reassigned a school resource deputy as it investigated an arrest where he slammed a female student to the ground outside a California high school.

The officer was sent to address a physical fight between students on Tuesday at about 3:47 p.m. near the campus of Vista del Lago High School in Moreno Valley.

‘She was on the ground and, yes, she got rowdy, and he was just moving her around like a rag doll.’

An Instagram influencer told KTLA-TV that he heard about the incident and went to document the incident. He posted the video he captured of the rough arrest.

Police said the girl tried to pull away as the officer attempted to detain and handcuff her.

“Put your hands behind your back. Stop,” the deputy said to the girl. “Stop doing what you’re doing!”

The influencer, who didn’t want to be publicly identified, admitted that the girl was resisting arrest. He claimed that she was 14 years old, but it’s unclear whether that is accurate.

“She was on the ground and, yes, she got rowdy, and he was just moving her around like a rag doll,” he added.

The student was evaluated by paramedics and was eventually arrested on suspicion of battery and resisting arrest.

The Moreno Valley Unified School District released a statement to KTLA indicating that it had reached out to the family of the girl to offer support.

Many people online were very supportive of the officer’s actions.

“Thank you officers for your service. These feral, vile rabid citizens needs to learn law, order and swift justice!” said one user on the X platform.

“[I don’t] give a damn what sex or race. You play stupid games. You win stupid prizes,” another response reads.

“Act like animals get treated like an animal,” another user replied.

“Stop resisting arrest you dumbasses you won’t be roughed up. You got what you deserve,” another said. “I’m tired of hearing little pansy ass p***ies can’t handle it when they’re trying to resist screw you you got what you deserved.”

“The Riverside Sheriff’s Office takes each use of force very seriously and makes every effort to de-escalate these situations whenever possible,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.

“As with all use-of-force incidents, a review will be conducted to ensure compliance with our policy and training standards,” they added.

There’s a conversation happening behind closed doors in Washington that should make every American pay attention, and it has nothing to do with EV mandates or fuel economy targets.

This time, it’s about war, capacity, and whether Detroit is about to be pulled into something far bigger than the auto business.

GM is expected to compete for a major Army contract to develop the next-generation infantry squad vehicle, a platform designed to replace the aging Humvee.

According to the Wall Street Journal, senior Pentagon officials have been quietly engaging with leadership from General Motors and Ford Motor Company, including CEOs Mary Barra and Jim Farley. The message is not subtle. The U.S. may need its automakers to help build the tools of modern warfare.

Running on empty

This is a direct response to a growing problem that Washington can no longer ignore. Ongoing conflicts abroad have exposed a reality that’s uncomfortable but unavoidable. The United States does not currently have the industrial capacity to produce munitions, missiles, and advanced defense systems at the speed and scale modern warfare demands. Stockpiles are being drained faster than they can be replenished, and the traditional defense contractor base is under pressure.

While the Pentagon has dismissed these claims, the fact remains the U.S. military seems to be on the hunt for manufacturers. And when you need scale, speed, and manufacturing expertise, there’s one place you go: Detroit.

Let’s be honest about what this really means. This is not a routine government outreach effort. This is Washington signaling that America’s industrial base may need to shift priorities, and fast. The auto industry, which has spent the last decade being pushed toward electrification at enormous cost, is now being evaluated for something entirely different: its ability to support national defense on a large scale.

History of help

There is precedent for this, and it’s not ancient history. During World War II, American automakers famously halted civilian vehicle production and became the backbone of military manufacturing. Tanks, aircraft, trucks, engines, all of it rolled out of facilities that once built cars for Main Street. It was called the arsenal of democracy, and it worked.

The question now is whether history is about to repeat itself, not through mandates, at least not yet, but through “collaboration,” which in Washington terms often means something a lot closer to expectation than suggestion.

These discussions are still in the early stages, but don’t mistake “preliminary” for unimportant. Pentagon officials are asking hard questions. Can automakers pivot their production lines quickly? Do they have the workforce flexibility? Can their supply chains handle defense-grade manufacturing? And perhaps most importantly, what regulatory and contractual barriers stand in the way?

Companies like GE Aerospace and Oshkosh Corporation are already part of the broader conversation, bridging the gap between commercial manufacturing and defense production. Oshkosh Corporation in particular has long operated in both civilian and military spaces, producing tactical vehicles while maintaining a diversified portfolio. That kind of hybrid model may soon become more common if Washington gets its way.

Boon or boondoggle?

But this isn’t just about national security. It’s also about economics, and that’s where things get complicated.

Automakers are navigating one of the most challenging environments in decades. Sales growth has cooled. Profit margins are tightening. The cost of electrification has ballooned beyond early projections, putting enormous pressure on balance sheets. Billions have been spent chasing EV targets that consumers have been slower to adopt than expected.

In that context, defense contracts start to look less like a burden and more like an opportunity. Stable, long-term revenue backed by government funding has a certain appeal, especially when your core business is under strain.

That doesn’t mean this is an easy pivot. Building consumer vehicles and building military hardware are fundamentally different businesses. Defense manufacturing comes with layers of compliance, extensive testing requirements, and procurement cycles that can stretch for years. This isn’t about slapping a different badge on a pickup truck and calling it a day.

Factories would need to be retooled. Workers would need retraining. Entire supply chains would need to be adjusted to meet military specifications. And all of it would have to happen within a regulatory framework that is far more complex than anything the auto industry deals with today.

Factory flex

Still, if there’s one thing American manufacturers have proven, it’s that they can adapt under pressure. During the COVID-19 pandemic, both GM and Ford shifted production to build ventilators in partnership with medical companies. It wasn’t perfect, but it was fast, and it demonstrated something important. When pushed, this industry can move.

Now, the Pentagon is betting that same flexibility can be applied to defense production. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been explicit about the need for what he calls a “wartime footing” in manufacturing readiness. That phrase matters. It doesn’t necessarily mean the U.S. is entering a traditional war, but it does mean planning for sustained, high-volume production of military equipment.

And the financial scale behind that planning is enormous. The Pentagon’s proposed $1.5 trillion budget would be the largest in modern history, with significant allocations for munitions, drones, and next-generation battlefield technologies. That kind of spending demands one thing above all else: capacity. And right now, capacity is the bottleneck.

There’s also a strategic shift happening here that shouldn’t be ignored. For years, the U.S. has relied on a relatively small group of defense contractors to supply its military. Those companies are highly capable, but concentration creates vulnerability. Expanding the industrial base to include commercial manufacturers could increase resilience and reduce dependency on a limited number of suppliers.

Civilians sidelined?

That’s the upside. The downside is just as real.

What happens when civilian manufacturing capacity is redirected toward defense? What does that mean for vehicle production, pricing, and availability? And how does this reshape the long-term business models of companies that were already in the middle of a massive transition toward electrification?

These are not abstract questions. They are practical concerns with real economic consequences.

Timing is another factor that adds urgency to the conversation. These discussions reportedly began before recent escalations in global tensions, but the current geopolitical environment has only intensified the pressure.

Some automakers are already positioned to step into a larger role. General Motors, for example, operates a defense subsidiary that produces an infantry squad vehicle based on the Chevrolet Colorado platform. It’s a relatively small part of the business today, but it serves as proof of concept. Automotive technology can be adapted for military use, and it can be done efficiently.

Looking ahead, GM is expected to compete for a major Army contract to develop the next-generation infantry squad vehicle, a platform designed to replace the aging Humvee. This isn’t just a transport vehicle. It’s being envisioned as a mobile command center, a power hub, and a critical component of modern battlefield operations.

That kind of project sits squarely at the intersection of automotive engineering and defense innovation. It’s also a preview of what could become a much larger trend.

In the near term, expect more discussions, more feasibility studies, and more pressure from Washington. The Pentagon is clearly signaling that it wants industry to be ready, not just willing. Readiness is the key word. This is about preparation for a scenario where demand spikes and the current system can’t keep up.

In the longer term, this could fundamentally reshape how we think about American manufacturing. For decades, the auto industry has been driven by consumer demand, regulatory requirements, and technological innovation. Now, national security is entering the equation in a much more direct way.

Detroit has always been a symbol of American industrial strength. Now, Washington is looking at it as something more, a potential force multiplier in a world where manufacturing capacity is becoming a strategic asset.

Many Americans today feel like they’re being crushed by the weight of modern life.

“Right now, absolutely everything feels unstable — the economy, the culture, politics, wars breaking out, our families, prices climbing. Paychecks somehow or another feel smaller every single month. People are screaming at each other online,” Glenn Beck sighs.

Over time, this pressure begins to erode the human soul and sow seeds of anger and bitterness.

Glenn has experienced the effects of this himself, especially in his 20s and 30s.

“I got in this place to where I thought, you know, if I can just get ahead of the next disaster, or if I could just get the next promotion, if I could just get that raise, buy that house, afford that car, if I could just win the next argument, if I could just get people to see things what I want them to see, then maybe I’d feel OK,” he recounts. “No, no — those things would happen, and then I would feel more empty.”

Even though today Glenn is in a far more healthy place and no longer copes with “drugs and alcohol,” he admits that he still finds himself numbing in other ways, like “doomscrolling.”

“I think that’s where a lot of people are right now. … We are spiritually exhausted; we are emotionally way underwater; we are isolated,” he says.

He knows from personal experience, however, that trying to rigidly control everything is not the answer. Freedom, he says, is actually found when we finally realize that control is an illusion.

“We’ve tried to predict the future, fix the country, save our kids, survive the economy, hold our relationships together, and then somehow or another still sleep well at night. No wonder people are cracking,” he proclaims.

There’s only one way we survive this: “radical honesty.”

“And it starts with looking in the mirror and dropping the act that you’re in control,” Glenn says frankly.

He argues that when we attempt to control everything, we’re allowing fear to sit behind the steering wheel of our lives.

“We have to start saying, ‘Fear has been driving a lot of my decisions, and it’s got to stop,”’ he says.

No more blaming the media, politicians, or our parents for our own shortcomings. “Start telling the truth about you,” Glenn urges, acknowledging that this is “hard” but leads to “freedom.”

Once you see yourself clearly, the next step is to “surrender to the understanding that [you’re] not God” and thus have no control over anything external.

This doesn’t mean that we give up on the pursuit of what’s good and true; it just means we stop trying “to carry the entire weight of the world on [our] shoulders,” Glenn says.

The only thing we can and should try to control, he encourages, is our own behavior.

“Tell the truth. Make amends. Be dependable. Stay sober or soberminded. Love your family deeply. Spend every minute present with them. Admit when you’re wrong. Turn off the phone. Help the person in front of you. … Get your soul in order,” Glenn implores.

“A society only survives when enough ordinary people choose to live their lives with integrity while the world around them has lost its mind, and I think people deep down are starving for this right now.”

Tina Peters was sentenced to eight years in prison for allowing unauthorized access to voter machines during the 2020 presidential election, but she’s going be a free woman very soon.

The pro-Trump former county clerk has had her sentence commuted by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, over free speech concerns.

‘I have learned and grown during my time in prison, and going forward I will make sure that my actions always follow the law, and I will avoid the mistakes of the past.’

President Donald Trump had threatened Colorado officials with “harsh measures” unless Peters was released, but Polis said his decision had to do with defending free speech rights.

On Friday, Polis released a statement that said he granted clemency to 44 individuals, including the commutation of Peters’ sentence.

Her conviction will not be wiped away but will be granted parole beginning June 1.

She had been convicted on seven counts related to the presidential election, including attempting to influence a public servant, conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, and official misconduct.

Although she had been defiant during sentencing, she admitted in a later statement that she had “misled the Secretary of State when allowing a person to gain access to county voting equipment.”

She added, “I have learned and grown during my time in prison, and going forward I will make sure that my actions always follow the law, and I will avoid the mistakes of the past.”

Polis said in a letter to Peters that he believed eight years was “an extremely unusual and lengthy sentence for a first-time offender who committed nonviolent crimes.” He added that the judge who sentenced Peters placed too much emphasis on her political beliefs.

Democrats are furious at Polis and accused him of kowtowing to the president.

“Importantly, your application demonstrates taking responsibility for your crimes and a commitment to follow the law going forward,” Polis added in the letter to Peters.

But he made sure to emphasize that he was not pardoning her.

“She’s a convicted felon,” he added. “She deserves to be a convicted felon. She will remain a convicted felon.”

The American Bar Association has voted to end diversity, equity, and inclusion policies at law schools after pressure from the Trump administration.

The rule required law schools to follow DEI policies in recruitment, admissions, and student programs, but it has been suspended since Feb. 2025 after President Donald Trump began a crackdown on DEI.

‘It’s time for the ABA’s monopoly to come to an end.’

On Friday, the ABA voted to eliminate the rule permanently.

David Brennen, an ABA council member and a former dean ⁠of the University of Kentucky College of Law, said he still supports DEI policies but voted to end them.

“I think it’s appropriate as an accrediting body that we eliminate that standard so we don’t inhibit the diversity of ideas out there in various types of legal education environments,” he said.

The change won’t be final until the ABA’s House of Delegates considers it and deliberates over possible revisions. Once that process is completed, the decision could be final as early as 2027.

In April 2025, the president directed U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon to determine whether to suspend or terminate the ABA as the government’s accreditor based on what he called “unlawful ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ requirements.”

Texas became the first state to decertify the ABA over its focus on DEI. Florida and Alabama have followed suit, and other Republican-controlled states are considering doing the same.

“The left-wing advocacy group known as the American Bar Association has long enjoyed exclusive authority to accredit law schools,” Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) wrote on social media after Texas announced the decision in Sept. 2025.

“It’s time for the ABA’s monopoly to come to an end,” he added. “I commend Texas for taking the lead and hope other states will soon follow.”

The ABA Standards Committee recommended repealing the rule in order to maintain ABA’s prominence in the national system of accreditation.

Jack Osbourne made it clear that he has no desire to chat about politics with the paparazzi.

Osbourne was spotted at the Capitol with his mother, Sharon, on Friday as they honored his late father, Ozzy, who passed away in 2025. As he was about to leave, the 40-year old was approached by a reporter eager to get his take on current events.

‘Then be a politician, don’t be an entertainer.’

Osbourne immediately shut down the conversation

“You know what, I think celebrities just need to keep their mouth shut,” the Brit-American said.

‘Entertain the people’

In case it wasn’t clear, Osbourne put it more succinctly into an order of operations for celebrities: “Make entertainment, entertain the people, shut the f**k up.”

The Aussie reporter persisted, asking why Osbourne didn’t think he should use his platform to get across a “big opinion” that could “change hearts and minds.”

Osbourne’s simple response? If that’s what you want, “Be a politician, don’t be an entertainer.”

Trump ‘Train’

Osbourne clearly takes after his cantankerous old man. While the elder Osbourne criticized the war in Iraq under the George W. Bush administration and spoke out against his native UK’s decision to leave the European Union, for the most part he focused on his showbiz career.

Even after the former Black Sabbath frontman asked the Trump campaign to stop using his song “Crazy Train” at rallies, the two remained on good terms, with the president leaving the family a condolence voicemail after the singer’s death last July.

The Osbournes told TMZ they were on Capitol Hill because Indiana Rep. Victoria Spartz (R) had entered Ozzy Osbourne’s biography into the Congressional Record.

Spartz shared her “deepest sympathies” with the family last year, calling Ozzy a “true pioneer of heavy metal and an enduring symbol of the rebellious, freedom-loving spirit that resonates across our nation and throughout the world.”

Fed up

Along with ruling out a future in politics, Osbourne noted that he and his mother had a “beautiful day” in D.C.

He added, “It made us miss [my father]. He would have loved it. He would have been truly honored to be a part of this today.”

Osbourne is part of a growing trend of celebrities who want very little to do with politics. This includes rocker Gene Simmons, who had nearly exactly the same message as Osbourne in March when he told liberal celebrities to “‘shut the f**k up.”

In fact, actor Jamie Kennedy shared similar sentiments when speaking with Osbourne on his podcast in February, when he criticized woke celebrities for calling the United States fascist.
