Gunshots Fired Into ABC Affiliate Station in Sacramento, California

Gunshots were fired at an ABC affiliate station in Sacramento, California, on Friday afternoon.

According to police, a vehicle pulled up to the station and a suspect fired three gunshots into the window.

There was one person in the lobby at the time of the shooting, but no one was struck.

The suspect is at large, and police do not have a motive; however, leftists have been lashing out at ABC for pulling Jimmy Kimmel’s show.

Jimmy Kimmel lied to millions of people and claimed Kirk was assassinated by a MAGA conservative.

ABC broadcast affiliate Nexstar removed Jimmy Kimmel from all 32 of its stations on Wednesday after the late-night host lied about Charlie Kirk’s assassin.

Disney also pulled Kimmel’s show.

On Thursday, Barack Obama attacked the Trump Administration after Jimmy Kimmel’s show was suspended, and the next day, an ABC affiliate was shot up.

Teacher LIES About High School Student Who Was Suspended After Being Assaulted For Wearing MAGA Hat in Honor of Charlie Kirk

A high school boy in Laguna Beach, California, was suspended after being accosted for wearing a MAGA hat in honor of Charlie Kirk.

Laguna Beach is a liberal enclave in mostly conservative Orange County, California.

Zach Hornstein wore a MAGA hat on campus at Laguna Beach High School last Thursday to honor Charlie Kirk, just one day after the TPUSA founder was assassinated at an event at Utah Valley University.

Hornstein said a girl grabbed his MAGA hat and threw it into the trash in the girls’ restroom. The girl used profanities to attack Trump.

He then jokingly told a group of girls to leave the country if they didn’t like the US.

“I made a joke towards them and said, ‘If you don’t like it here, Canada’s open borders, feel free to go,’” Zach Hornstein told Fox 11.

This is when a teacher lied about what Zach Hornstein said to the group of girls.

“They’re saying I told a group of girls to go back to where they came from, which I never said that,” Hornstein told Fox 11. “When they called in the girl that was involved, she literally told them that I never said that.”

Hornstein’s mother blasted the school and said her son was targeted for his conservative political beliefs.

“I think it’s a double standard,” Hornstein’s mother, Janet Semenova, said. “I think kids who have certain political beliefs are held to a different standard than kids who have other political beliefs.”

‘I really feel for Kirk’s loved ones’: Professor apologizes for assassination comments

A University of California San Diego writing instructor walked back his comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk in comments given to The College Fix.

After the killing of the Turning Point USA CEO, Michael Morshed wrote on a friend’s social media post: “He f**cked around and found out.”

But now he said he regrets his words.

“The most basic answer is I said it because sometimes I’m an idiot who acts impulsive, and my tongue is a bit too sharp. I have been since I was a kid,” Morshed told The Fix via email on Monday.

“More importantly, I think it was an insensitive comment on my part. I don’t think Kirk deserved to be killed. I think he was a [debater] and was non-violent from what I have seen,” Morshed said. “Given that, he did not deserve violence against him, and I hope the person who killed him goes to jail. That person was 100% in the wrong.”

The killing has led Morshed to look more into Kirk and find some areas of agreement.

“When someone is killed, I feel horrible for their loved ones, and I am seeing in the aftermath of Kirk’s death how much people loved him,” Morshed told The Fix. “This is leading me to look into Kirk some more, and I have found that I agree with the core of some of his ideas.”

Morshed also wanted to provide further context to what he was trying to say. “The essence of my opinion is that, while not deserving to die, Kirk could have taken more precautions,”

Morshed, suggesting better security was needed and the events should have been indoors for Kirk’s own safety.

The professor also said many young people debating him are “already sensitive and maybe even mentally ill” which created the potential for more problems.

Dismembered body found in singer D4vd’s abandoned Tesla ID’d as teen girl

The dismembered corpse found rotting in Bronx-born singer D4vd’s abandoned Tesla in California was identified as a teenage girl, Los Angeles authorities confirmed on Tuesday.

The female victim, whose identity wasn’t announced pending her family’s notification, was between 14 and 15 years old, sources told ABC 7.

The petite teen, standing at 5 feet 2 inches, was previously described as having wavy black hair and weighing around 71 pounds — roughly 20 pounds less than an average girl of her stature should weigh.

She was found wearing a tube top with black leggings and a yellow bracelet with similar metal stud earrings. She also had a tattoo on her right index finger that read “Shhh…”

Her body was wrapped in plastic and locked in the Tesla’s trunk, where her corpse baked in the California heat for at least five days. The body was so badly decomposed that it wasn’t fully intact and was first reported to authorities because the car itself started to emit a “foul odor.”

D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, found himself at the center of the gruesome discovery after authorities linked the impounded, Texas-plated Tesla back to him. Burke has been cooperating with police as he continues his world tour.

California Bills on Social Media and AI Chatbots Fuel Privacy Fears

Two controversial tech-related bills have cleared the California legislature and now await decisions from Governor Gavin Newsom, setting the stage for a potentially significant change in how social media and AI chatbot platforms interact with their users.

Both proposals raise red flags among privacy advocates who warn they could normalize government-driven oversight of digital spaces.

The first, Assembly Bill 56, would require social media companies to display persistent mental health warnings to minors using their platforms.

Drawing from a 2023 US Surgeon General report, the legislation mandates that platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat show black-box warning labels about potential harm to youth mental health.

The alert would appear for ten seconds at login, again after three hours of use, and once every hour after that.

Supporters, including Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan and Attorney General Rob Bonta, claim the bill is necessary to respond to what they describe as a youth mental health emergency.

Critics of the bill argue it inserts state messaging into private platforms in a way that undermines user autonomy and treats teens as passive recipients of technology, rather than individuals capable of making informed choices.

Newsom has until October 13 to sign or veto the measure.

CA Democrat Rep. Dave Min Makes False Claims About ‘Radical Right’ Violence After Charlie Kirk’s Assassination

Rep. Dave Min (D-CA) claimed on Friday there was “toxic violence” coming from the “RADICAL RIGHT” after Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

Min also claimed the suspect, who has been identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, belonged to the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.

The Democrat wrote in a social media post, “Now that the Charlie Kirk assassin has been identified as MAGA, I’m sure Donald Trump, Elon Musk and all the insane GOP politicians who called for retribution against the “RADICAL LEFT” will now shift their focus to stopping the toxic violence of the RADICAL RIGHT.”

Min got major pushback for his claims, one person writing, “I would say this is unbelievable but Democrats have proven time and again that they will do and say anything, from assassinations to nonsensical lies like this.”

“Patently false. Nice try,” another user commented.

Meanwhile, National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Spokesman Christian Martinez told Breitbart News that Min was “spewing lies.”

“Unhinged conspiracy theorist Dave Min is spewing lies and exploiting a tragedy to score cheap political points,” Martinez stated. “Besides being a drunk, Min is reckless, disgraceful, and a pathetic excuse for a Congressman who will say anything to distract from his own failures. Californians deserve better.”

Star Trek actor George Takei has also pushed misinformation that Kirk’s alleged assassin was motivated by right-wing views, according to Breitbart News.

The alleged shooter was reportedly described by a high school friend as being “pretty left on everything” even though his family were “very hard Republican,” Breitbart News reported.

The individual also claimed that during sophomore year, Robinson’s views became more extreme and he would “always just be ranting and arguing about them.”

Breitbart News reported on Friday, “One of the inscriptions on an ammunition casing of alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson is a clear reference to the song ‘Bella Ciao,’ which is idolized in Antifa circles.”

California Passes Reparations in College Admissions, Despite Prop 209

The California legislature passed a bill last week that would provide reparations to descendants of slaves in the form of college admissions — despite Proposition 209, which forbids the use of race in college admissions.

The bill, AB 7, provides that California State University, the University of California, independent institutions of higher education … and private postsecondary educational institutions … may consider providing a preference in admissions to an applicant who is a descendant of slavery.” It applies to anyone “who can establish direct lineage to a person who, before 1900, was subjected to American chattel slavery.”

Proposition 209, passed in 1996 and reaffirmed by California voters in 2020, bans the use of race in college admissions and for other public purposes. Supporters of AB 7 say that “descendant of slavery” is race-neutral.

The Los Angeles Times reports that AB 7 is only one of several reparations bills passed by the legislature:

Earlier this week, the Democratic-led Legislature also passed Senate Bill 518, which would create a new office called the Bureau for Descendants of American Slavery. That bureau would create a process to determine whether someone is the descendant of a slave and to certify someone’s claim to help them access benefits.

The legislature also approved Assembly Bill 57, by Assemblymember Tina McKinnor (D-Hawthorne), which would help descendants of slavery build generational wealth by becoming homeowners.

…

The Legislature also passed McKinnor’s AB 67, which sets up a process for people who said they or their families lost property to the government through “racially motivated eminent domain” to seek to have the property returned or to be paid.

Newsom will now consider the bills. He signed a formal apology for slavery last year, after declining to back bills that would have provided cash reparations.

California entered the Union as a Free State in 1850.

Active duty Navy chief who witnessed UFO convinced doubtful colleagues with radar expertise: ‘It was like checkmate’

An active-duty Navy chief saw four tic-tac shaped UFOs off the coast of California while working on the USS Jackson — and convinced a doubting radar officer the craft were real with an undeniable “checkmate.”

US Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Alexandro Wiggins witnessed multiple UFOs on radar on the evening of February 15, 2023 — observing the first one emerge seamlessly out of the ocean, he said.

“What am I seeing?” recounted Chief Wiggins, who spoke to The Post on behalf of himself as an individual and not as a representative of the Navy. “From my observations, it did in fact come from the water.”

“It was first seen on radar and once I saw it on radar, I wanted to confirm visually what I was seeing on radar if it was clouds and atmospherics and something else.”

Wiggins then moved out to the core bridge wing of the USS Jackson and went through his mental checklist of things the object could be — but was convinced by an odd maneuver it made that it was not standard human technology.

“It [was] rising into the air high enough to where I’m like, alright, that’s definitely: A. too fast and B. not something I’ve seen before,” the 21-year Navy veteran said.

The keen-eyed officer saw three other objects moving in coordination roughly 8 nautical miles away from the USS Jackson — then reported the unknown objects to a tactical officer and rushed to observe the craft on a Sapphire radar.

California Dems Kill Bill Backed by Jay Leno That Would Have Exempted Classic Cars from Emissions Regulations

Not even classic car collector Jay Leno could convince California’s legislative Democrats to give an inch on what a critic called the state’s “regulatory hellscape.”

The Assembly Appropriations Committee blocked Republican Sen. Shannon Grove’s Senate Bill 712, informally known as Leno’s Law, from advancing, according to KABC-TV.

“SB 712, also known as “Leno’s Law,” offers a practical solution for owners of collector vehicles that have difficulty complying with the state’s smog check law,” according to a fact sheet issued by Grove.

“Leno’s Law is sponsored by renowned car enthusiast and television icon Jay Leno. The bill would exempt, on an ongoing basis, collector cars whose model year is 35 years or older from the state’s smog check law,” the fact sheet said.

“The bill would also exempt classic cars from the smog check program upon transfer of a vehicle. These classic cars are infrequently driven, carefully maintained, and make up only a fraction of cars on the road,” the fact sheet said.

“Exempting them from the biennial smog check would strengthen California’s ‘car culture’ by helping preserve these historical treasures,” the fact sheet said.

The fact sheet said forcing classic cars to meet current standards “is an overreach by the government.”

Two Men Who Murdered Teen in ‘Satanic Ritual’ Granted Parole, Were Found Guilty After ‘Sacrificing’ a Virgin

Two California men are on parole nearly 30 years after murdering a girl in a “satanic ritual.”

Royce Casey and Jacob Delashmutt, both 47, were released in August and July, while a third accomplice, 45-year-old Joseph Fiorella, has yet to be released, according to The Tribune in San Luis Obispo, California.

In 1995, when all three men were teenagers, they murdered 15-year-old Elyse Pahler in what they described as a “satanic ritual.”

The boys were in a heavy metal band and believed that “sacrificing a virgin to the devil” would make them better musicians, according to People, citing a habeas corpus petition filed by Casey.

The three lured Pahler, a friend who believed the group was going to a party, into a secluded grove.

Delashmutt, then 16, took off his belt and began strangling Pahler.

Then Casey, 17, pinned her down while 15-year-old Fiorella pulled out a large hunting knife, stabbing Pahler repeatedly in the neck.

Fiorella then handed the knife to Delashmutt, who stabbed her another four or five times in the neck, before Casey stabbed her an additional four times.

Pahler begged for her mother and Jesus.

Then, Casey dealt the final blow, stomping Pahler on the back of her neck, according to the Los Angeles Times.

They covered her body with leaves and went home, according to People.

Eight months later, Casey confessed the crime to a clergyman.
