Sheriff Who Handled Surrender of Charlie Kirk Assassination Suspect Abruptly RESIGNS After 30 Years

Longtime Washington County Sheriff Nate Brooksby has officially stepped down after more than three decades in law enforcement, just months after playing a central role in the high-profile surrender of the man accused of assassinating conservative hero Charlie Kirk.

According to KUTV, Brooksby quietly submitted his resignation last Friday, with county officials confirming his departure and thanking him for his service.

“We express our sincere appreciation for his dedication and service to Washington County,” the county said in a statement.

According to ABC4, Brooksby met with county commissioners on Friday to discuss vague “complaints” about office operations. Hours later, he resigned on the spot.

The news outlet added that “the individuals who made the complaints against the Sheriff’s Office have requested that no further action be taken, a request that is being respected.”

Sheriff Brooksby was the man who personally facilitated the surrender of Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old charged with gunning down Charlie Kirk in broad daylight at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025.

According to Brooksby himself, Robinson was “fearful of being shot” and insisted on turning himself in under carefully managed conditions.

The sheriff worked with a retired deputy and the suspect’s family to arrange the surrender, an unusual process for a suspect accused of a politically motivated assassination.

Robinson ultimately turned himself in after a 33-hour manhunt.

Just hours before Brooksby’s resignation became public, bombshell reports emerged from Robinson’s defense team.

On the same day Boorksby resigned, Tyler Robinson’s attorneys filed a motion seeking to postpone his May 18 preliminary hearing, pointing to an ATF report that determined toolmark analysis on a bullet jacket recovered during Kirk’s autopsy was inconclusive due to extensive damage.

Dems Hope To Hide Anti-American Policies Behind ‘Straight, White, Christian Man’ 2028 Nominee

A hilarious article in Axios over the weekend re-upped one of my favorite self-perpetuating problems in the Democrat Party — the party’s refusal to do anything but change its destructive, unpopular policy positions.

“Some top Democrats,” read the piece by Holly Otterbein and Alex Thompson, “are quietly debating a fraught question: whether the party’s best bet for winning back the presidency in 2028 is to nominate a man — perhaps a straight, white, Christian man.”

Democrats had their rears smacked and handed to them red hot in 2024, in large part because they wouldn’t accept that voters aren’t as preoccupied with race and sex as they are. It’s how they permanently screwed themselves with Kamala Harris, first as vice president and then inevitably as the party’s replacement nominee.

To her credit, at least Kamala, with a herculean assist from the dying news media, pretended not to support all the things she and the rest of the party in fact did support up until the last second. Namely, importing every destitute foreigner who made it to the southern border, allowing crime to run rampant (so long as the perpetrators were of a particular demographic), and crushing the middle class by hooking as many people as possible on welfare.

If Kamala hadn’t had a record as, you know, vice president for the previous three-plus years, she might have had a shot. But a policy reversal isn’t the lesson Democrats appear to have taken from that loss. Instead, they have settled on a new strategy that involves going on podcasts, publicly cursing a lot, and — wait for it — hunting down a nominee who might fit the profile of the very type of person the party has tried to destroy. The white, straight, Christian male.

They’re no longer considering a policy shift, it seems.

Ukrainians Are Fuming After German Head of Defense Giant Rheinmetall Said Kiev’s Drones Are ‘Made With Lego’ and Assembled by ‘Housewives’

Are the Ukrainian drone capabilities all that Zelensky says they are?

As the eyes of the world are focused on the military conflict in Iran, the Kiev regime is constantly in search of ways to remain relevant.

One way is to offer to share their expertise in anti-drone defense.

Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky is on a trip to Gulf nations signing agreements to that effect.

But not everyone is impressed by the Ukrainian capabilities, as is the case with the head of German defense giant Rheinmetall, who made harsh comments about Ukrainian drone technology and the role of women in the war effort.

The comments generated a backlash among internet users and Kiev officials.

Associated Press reported:

“Rheinmetall AG’s Chairman and CEO Armin Papperger likened Ukraine’s development of cutting-edge drone expertise as like playing ‘with Lego’ and said the drones are being built by ‘Ukrainian housewives’.

‘They have 3D printers in the kitchen, and they produce parts for drones’, Papperger said in comments to The Atlantic magazine published Friday. ‘This is not innovation’.”

Zelensky described Papperger’s remarks as ‘strange’.

“’If every Ukrainian housewife can really produce drones, then every Ukrainian housewife could also be the CEO of Rheinmetall’, he told reporters via voicemail on WhatsApp. ‘I congratulate our defense-industrial complex on being at such a high level’.”

Dr. Malone warns there’s a dangerous ‘mole’ working inside the CDC…

Could the CDC be one of the most mistrusted government institutions? Sure, that’s a bold statement, since so many of our institutions are wrought with fraud, but after all the lies and propaganda that went down with COVID, the CDC took a huge hit.

The CDC was founded in 1946. It started to control malaria during WWII, and was supposed to protect public health from infectious disease. That was the original mission. Very straightforward, practical, and easy for ordinary people to understand and support.

Those were the good ol’ days. Now look at it.

That’s why for millions of Americans, the CDC isn’t some trusted public health group. It now just another bloated political institution that allowed the COVID fiasco to destroy its last bit of credibility. These were the people who lectured the country about (useless) masks and a sketchy vaccine. They silenced dissent like medical gestapos, buried facts that didn’t mesh with their political agenda, changed the rules as they went, and acted like anyone who asked questions was some kind of dangerous Q-kook. They exposed themselves, and once that happened, a lot of Americans stopped seeing “experts” and started seeing activists in lab coats.

Trust is dropping like a sack of hammers.

The Hill:

A poll published Thursday found that Americans have lost trust in federal health institutions and are more likely to say they trust independent, professional medical organizations when it comes to advice on topics like vaccination.

The February survey by the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) of the University of Pennsylvania found that public trust in agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) had fallen by 5 to 7 percentage points in the past year.

Public trust in these institutions had been declining prior to 2025, however, having fallen from around 75 percent to 67 percent during the final year of the Biden administration.

Boston BLM Fraudster and “Bostonian of the Year” Must Return $220K in Funds Stolen Through Fraud

The Gateway Pundit reported that Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, a Boston-based Black Lives Matter activist who stole more than $100,000 in COVID funds and other financial resources to fund her lavish lifestyle, was sentenced to ZERO jail time.

Instead, she got six months of home confinement, followed by four years of probation.

Cannon-Grant is the founder and former Chief Executive Officer of a Boston-based nonprofit who was sentenced in January in federal court in Boston for using thousands of dollars in donations to Violence in Boston (VIB) to pay for personal expenses; defrauding the City of Boston out of COVID-19 relief funds and rental assistance money; defrauding the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office out of Community Reinvestment Grant funds; filing false tax returns; and failing to file tax returns for two years.

Cannon-Grant was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Angel Kelley to four years’ probation, with six months of home detention and 100 hours of community service.

She was also ordered to pay restitution of $106,003 as well as forfeiture in an amount to be decided at a later date.

Now, a federal judge has ordered her to pay back an additional $224,063.

Spain Closes Airspace to US Planes Involved in Iran War, Defense Minister Says

Spain’s government has closed its airspace to U.S. aircraft involved in the conflict with Iran, according to the country’s defense minister, Margarita Robles.

“It’s a very clear position: We are not going to authorize, as we have said at the beginning, the use of Morón and Rota bases for any act related to the war in Iran,” she told reporters ⁠in Madrid on March 25.

“And, of course, the use of Spanish airspace.”

That means that Madrid has banned fighter jets and refueling aircraft from using its bases and denied U.S. aircraft operating from third countries access to its airspace.

“This decision is part of the decision already ​made by the Spanish government not to participate in or contribute ‌to ⁠a war which was initiated unilaterally and against international law,” Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo told Spanish radio station Cadena SER when asked on March 30 whether the latest decision could ⁠worsen relations with the United States.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said on March 25 in Congress that he would pursue such a course of action.

Large Michigan Solar Projects Can Now Bypass Township Permit Denials. 122 of 148 Lawmakers Took Utility Money

One of Michigan’s electric utilities, Consumers Energy, announced plans to build up to 9,000 megawatts of solar power on 209,000 acres of farmland. The total size of these solar projects is about 326 square miles. That’s about 2.5 times the size of Detroit itself.

Nearly all these costs get added to citizens’ electric bills. Recognizing this would likely create opposition within townships, Democrat politicians in Michigan passed Public Act 233. It overrides a township if they deny a solar or wind farm permit.

For decades, Michigan’s 1,773 local township governments had the authority to decide whether a large solar farm could be built in their communities. In late November of 2023, Public Act 233 was signed into law. Larger solar (>50MW) and wind (>100MW) projects can now skip the voices of local residents. They now have almost no say in some of Michigan’s biggest industrial projects.

If the local jurisdiction denies the solar application, takes too long, or imposes excessive rules, the developer can bypass the township entirely. They can apply directly to the 3 person Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) for approval. All 3 commissioners are appointed by Democrat governor Gretchen Whitmer. In some cases, these developers can bypass townships from the onset.

PA 233 was introduced by MI House of Representatives Abraham Aiyash (D), a top Muslim lawmaker from the Detroit area. Every Democrat voted in favor of the bill, every Republican against (20-18). Like fascists, the MI Democrats took oversight from these small townships and gave it to MPSC. Democrats also control MPSC, which determines how much the two utility companies can charge their MI customers (Consumers EnergyDTE Energy).

Knesset passes law mandating death penalty for West Bank Palestinians convicted of terrorism

The Knesset votes 62-48 to pass a controversial law mandating the death penalty for West Bank Palestinians convicted of carrying out deadly terror attacks.

The vote is a major victory for far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit party, which has long lobbied for the measure. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voted for the bill.

“This is a day of justice for the victims and a day of deterrence for our enemies. No more revolving door for terrorists, but a clear decision. Whoever chooses terrorism chooses death,” says Ben Gvir in a statement.

The Knesset votes 62-48 to pass a controversial law mandating the death penalty for West Bank Palestinians convicted of carrying out deadly terror attacks.

The vote is a major victory for far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit party, which has long lobbied for the measure. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voted for the bill.

“This is a day of justice for the victims and a day of deterrence for our enemies. No more revolving door for terrorists, but a clear decision. Whoever chooses terrorism chooses death,” says Ben Gvir in a statement.Promoted: Jewish Crossroads, Roya HakakianKeep Watchin

The law, approved after nearly 12 hours of debate, mandates death by hanging as the default punishment for West Bank residents convicted of deadly terrorist acts by military courts. While judges can opt for life imprisonment under vaguely defined “special circumstances,” the death penalty would otherwise be mandatory.

The sentence would require a simple majority of judges rather than a unanimous decision, while eliminating any right of appeal.

The law will not apply retroactively, including to the perpetrators of the October 7 attacks, for which a separate bill is being advanced.

The law effectively enshrines capital punishment for Palestinians alone, as it explicitly excludes Israeli citizens or residents, and Palestinians alone are tried in military courts. Israelis are tried in civilian courts.

Though a separate provision allows courts to impose the death penalty on anyone, including Israeli citizens, it applies only to those who “intentionally cause the death of a person with the aim of denying the existence of the State of Israel” — a definition that in practice excludes Jewish terrorists.

Justice Department Sues Minnesota for Allowing Boys in Girls’ Sports and Intimate Spaces

The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) on Monday, alleging sex-based discrimination by allowing boys to compete in girls’ sports and use girls’ locker rooms and bathrooms. 

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is a well-known advocate for these policies, and he infamously signed a 2023 law, directing all public schools to provide free menstrual products to all menstruating students, including trans students, in grades 4 to 12.

The 45-page lawsuit was filed in Minnesota federal court, arguing that the “unfair, intentionally discriminatory practice violates the very core of Title IX of the Education Amendments.”

“Title IX’s core purpose is to ensure that both boys and girls have equal educational opportunities. This includes protecting girls’ equal educational athletic opportunities by recognizing that boys have an inherent biological advantage in sports,” the filing reads, noting male and female athletes have “undeniable physiological differences.”

“But Minnesota casts this aside in favor of so-called “gender identity,” a choice that elevates ideology over biology, fairness, and safety. In open defiance of Title IX’s antidiscrimination protections, Minnesota’s policies and practices create unfair competition, deny girls equal educational opportunities, and expose girls to a hostile educational environment with heightened risks of physical injury and psychological harm.”

It further points to the over $3 billion in federal funding that the Minnesota Department of Education receives annually from the US Department of Education (USDOE), arguing that Minnesota has a duty to comply with USDOE’s regulations implementing Title IX.

The MDE also receives approximately $42.6 million annually from the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and is required to comply with HHS’s regulations implementing Title IX.

FCC Bans Nearly All Wireless Routers Sold in the U.S.

This week, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) effectively banned the sale of nearly all wireless routers in the U.S., in yet another example of the government making Americans’ consumer decisions for them.

Ninety-six percent of American adults use the internet, and 80 percent of them use wireless routers—devices that transmit a signal throughout your home via radio waves and allow you to get online without plugging into the wall.

In a Monday announcement, the FCC deemed “all consumer-grade routers produced in foreign countries” potentially unsafe. This followed a national security determination last week, in which members of executive branch agencies concluded that “routers produced in a foreign country, regardless of the nationality of the producer, pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States and to the safety and security of U.S. persons.”

The Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019 empowered the government “to prevent communications equipment or services that pose a national security risk from entering U.S. networks.” The law directed the FCC to “publish and maintain a list of such equipment or services,” and according to that agency, inclusion on the list “will prevent the marketing, sale, or operation of any such new ‘covered’ equipment within the United States.”

Since wireless routers transmit over radio frequencies, they must be authorized by the FCC to be sold in the U.S.; adding all new foreign-made routers to the “Covered List” means the FCC will not authorize those devices’ transmitters, effectively banning their sale or use.

The announcement specifies that this only applies to new consumer-grade devices and “does not prohibit the import, sale, or use of any existing device models the FCC previously authorized.” It also notes that manufacturers who apply for exemptions on new models can be “granted ‘Conditional Approval’ after finding that such device or devices do not pose such unacceptable risks.”

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the ban will likely make it more difficult for Americans to get wireless routers.

The problem is that banning all foreign-made routers means banning practically all routers. Most manufacturers, including the three largest, make their products overseas.
