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.

Bullet used to kill Charlie Kirk did NOT match rifle allegedly used by suspect Tyler Robinson, new court filing claims

The bullet that killed conservative commentator Charlie Kirk did not match the rifle used by suspected killer Tyler Robinson, a bombshell new court filing states.

Robinson, 22, is facing capital murder charges and a potential death sentence for Kirk’s murder at Utah Valley University on September 10.

But his defense attorneys now argue that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ‘was unable to identify the bullet recovered at autopsy to the rifle allegedly tied to Mr Robinson.’

The defense team may now offer the ATF firearm analyst’s testimony as exculpatory evidence, they said in a motion filed on Friday to push the preliminary hearing back at least six months, Fox News reports. 

It also notes that DNA reports filed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and ATF will take time for the defense team to analyze because reports indicated that several different DNA were found on some items of evidence.

‘As these cases indicate, determining the number of contributors to a DNA mixture and determining whether the FBI and the ATF reliably applied validated and correct scientific procedures… is a complicated process which requires the assistance of various types of experts, including forensic biologists, geneticists, system engineers and statisticians, all of whom must review and evaluate’ several different categories, the filing states, according to Deseret News. 

Robinson’s attorneys added that they have received about 20,000 electronic audio files, videos and written documents that prosecutors have presented as evidence in the case.

‘The defense team has devoted, and will continue to devote, significant resources, to processing discovery, including identifying materials not yet received to inform readiness for the preliminary hearing,’ the filing states.

‘However, the defense team is realistic and the comprehensive review required to determine what is missing will take hundreds of hours.’

‘What is known at present is that Mr Robinson has not yet received the forensic case files and data necessary to investigate, through the use of qualified experts, the scientific reports the state intends to introduce at the preliminary hearing,’ the attorneys continued.

Defense attorneys and prosecutors had previously met on March 12.

Based on that meeting, the defense said in the motion it believes prosecutors will introduce ‘discrete “buckets” of evidence through three identified law enforcement witnesses at the preliminary hearing.

‘This includes a conclusory forensic DNA and ballistic reports authored by the FBI and the ATF, social media data, testimony by law enforcement officers about the crime scene and search locations, and testimony by Mr Robinson’s parents and roommate’ as well as ‘a significant amount of hearsay’ from ‘non-testifying peace officers.’ 

Prosecutors have alleged Robinson drove three hours from his home to the university campus to kill Kirk, 31.

NASA Officials Investigating Cause of Mystery Condition That Suddenly Left an Astronaut Unable to Speak

NASA is reportedly reviewing the medical information of its astronauts following an unusual incident that left one of them unable to speak while aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

The incident, which occurred earlier this year, led to the first-ever evacuation of the ISS following a medical incident.

It was later revealed that 59-year-old Mike Fincke, a retired Air Force colonel and veteran astronaut who had served on multiple past missions, had been the crew member who experienced the condition that prompted the emergency action, although at that time, NASA officials had not revealed any further details about the nature of the medical concern.

Now, Fincke has revealed that on January 7, what began as a normal dinner break with his fellow crew members suddenly took an alarming turn when he found himself unable to speak.

“It was completely out of the blue,” Fincke recently told the Associated Press of the strange situation. “It was just amazingly quick.”

The crew had been in preparation for a planned spacewalk scheduled for the following day when the incident occurred. Although Fincke said he experienced no pain or other severe discomfort, the sudden onset of the mystery condition did cause alarm among other members of his crew, who immediately notified officials back on Earth about the situation.

“My crewmates definitely saw that I was in distress,” Fincke recalled of the situation. “It was all hands on deck within just a matter of seconds.”

For the next twenty minutes, Fincke said the odd condition persisted, which struck like a “very fast lightning bolt.” Gradually, his ability to speak returned, and Fincke said that he had never experienced anything like this in the past, nor since returning to Earth.

Although NASA did not reveal which astronaut had experienced the medical emergency, Fincke voluntarily came forward because of public speculation about what specifically caused the incident.

Mysterious Power Outage Hits California Leaving Over 100,000 People in the Dark

Over 100,000 residents in California lost power on Thursday night.

According to San Diego Gas & Electric, over 100,000 residents in San Diego and South Orange counties were left in the dark after a massive power outage.

SDGE has not released the cause of the outage, and the incident is currently under investigation.

Per ABC 7:

A massive power outage left tens of thousands of people without electricity Thursday night across South Orange County and parts of San Diego County.

San Diego Gas & Electric reported that more than 100,000 customers were initially affected. Video taken near the Civic Center in Mission Viejo showed one of the areas impacted by the blackout. Other areas that were impacted included Laguna Hills and Laguna Niguel.

The cause of the outage was not immediately known.

“We understand how disruptive outages can be and are working to investigate the cause,” said SDG&E in a statement. “The safety of our customers, employees and communities remains our top priority.”

San Diego Gas & Electric has since issued a press release stating that power has been restored.

“Power has been fully restored to customers affected by a widespread outage impacting multiple communities in North San Diego County and Orange County this evening,” stated SDGE.

“We understand how disruptive outages can be and are working to investigate the cause,” added SDGE.

Married mom who vanished last year could be tied to missing and dead US scientists: report

A married mom who vanished last year may be tied to a string of mysterious deaths and disappearances of US scientists and military officials with access to potentially sensitive information, according to a report.

Melissa Casias, who worked with her husband as an administrative assistant at Los Alamos National Laboratory [LANL] — famous for developing nuclear weapons during the Manhattan Project — has not been seen since she dropped lunch off for her daughter in New Mexico last summer.

She is one of four high-clearance people who have died or gone missing since June 2025 with connections to UFO-linked retired Air Force Gen. William McCasland, who vanished last month, according to the Daily Mail.

Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker told the Mail he is now worried that she is part of an alarming pattern, as her work as an assistant at LANL may have made her a target for kidnapping.

“In a classified lab, or just a high clearance lab, they would basically be in the know on what’s going on,” Swecker, who spent 24 years with the agency, said. “And it wouldn’t be the first time their administrative assistant has been targeted.”

The FBI “can’t have these examined in isolation and compartmentalize them as individual missing person cases,” he added.

Casias and her husband both worked at LANL in New Mexico. She was last seen on camera on June 25, 2025 walking alone on a highway without her wallet, phone or keys, after telling family members she would be working from home, Dateline reported.

Mystery of five missing scientists sends chill across America. Three are dead. And one troubling link is now under scrutiny in DC

A chilling pattern has emerged after a string of US scientists died or went missing in recent months. 

Retired General William Neil McCasland, 68, and NASA aerospace engineer Monica Jacinto Reza, 60, were both major figures in the Air Force Research Laboratory. The general oversaw Reza’s work on creating a futuristic metal for rocket engines.

Within the span of eight months, both have mysteriously vanished without a trace while allegedly hiking in the Southwest United States.

McCasland’s reported ties to secret UFO programs at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, and Reza’s work with space-age technology used for advanced propulsion, have led many to claim without evidence that the pair are fleeing from parties that wish to silence them because of what they know.

Independent researchers and even a member of Congress fear the pattern has grown even darker after three scientists in the fields of chemical biology, nuclear fusion and astrophysics were murdered or found dead in just the last three months.

One of those renowned scientists was working on a breakthrough that could one day revolutionize science, creating an unlimited energy source that may end fossil fuel use as we know it.

Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett told the Daily Mail he saw a clear pattern in these seemingly unrelated deaths and disappearances, noting that the work several of them were doing has been linked to theories about extraterrestrial spacecraft. 

‘There have been several others throughout the country that have disappeared under suspicious circumstances,’ Burchett said. ‘I think we ought to be paying attention to it.’

Mystery Drones Swarm U.S. Military Bases

Mysterious drones are hovering over America’s most sensitive military sites, and no one in Washington seems willing to give you a straight answer.

Today on Stinchfield, we dig into alarming reports out of Barksdale Air Force Base, home to our B-52 bombers, where highly advanced drones have been spotted in restricted airspace. These are not hobbyists. These are sophisticated, coordinated, and potentially hostile.

So the obvious question is this. Why are they still flying? Why hasn’t the military taken them down? And who is behind them?

At one point, the threat was so serious that personnel at Barksdale were ordered to shelter in place. That alone should send chills down your spine. If the Pentagon knows what these are, they are not telling you. If they do not know, that may be even worse.

We also break down the Air Canada crash at LaGuardia, where the focus is now shifting toward the air traffic controller. Was this human error, system failure, or something deeper inside an aviation system already under strain?

And then, the story the media does not want to touch. The brutal murder of a Loyola University student allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien.

The reaction from Democrats is not just weak, it is disgraceful. Silence, deflection, and excuses while American families are left shattered.

This is about national security, accountability, and the truth they hope you never demand.

Drone Swarms Breach Key Nuclear Bomber Base

Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, a key installation housing the U.S. Air Force’s strategic B-52 bomber fleet, reported multiple unauthorized drone incursions into its restricted airspace between March 9 and March 15, 2026.

According to an internal military briefing document reviewed by ABC News, the incursions involved waves of 12 to 15 drones operating over sensitive areas of the installation, including the flight line. [1]

The first incident on March 9 triggered a shelter-in-place order and a full security alert at the base. A Barksdale AFB spokesman confirmed the detection of ‘multiple unauthorized drones’ but declined to comment on the specifics of the leaked report. The incursions forced the base to close its runway to incoming and outgoing aircraft, a measure highlighting the operational disruption and perceived threat level. [2] [1]

Details of the Incursions and Military Response

The confidential report stated that Security Forces personnel observed multiple waves of drones over several days, with the activity ceasing on March 13 and 14 before resuming. The drones were described as ‘custom-built’ and demonstrated a level of operational sophistication that indicated deliberate reconnaissance or testing of base defenses. According to the report, the aircraft dispersed across sensitive locations after reaching multiple points on the installation. [3]

The military’s response included activating standard counter-drone protocols. U.S. military bases typically employ radio-frequency (RF) and electronic warfare (EW) jamming systems designed to sever the control link between a drone and its operator or scramble its GPS navigation, forcing it to land or crash. However, in this instance, these standard countermeasures reportedly failed to disrupt the drone swarms. [4]

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is involved in the ongoing investigation alongside military and other federal law enforcement agencies, according to official statements. The base spokesman emphasized that flying a drone over a military installation is a federal criminal offense. [2]

Technical Characteristics and Security Implications

Officials familiar with the briefing indicated the drones used specialized control signals not typical of commercially available models, making them resistant to standard jamming technology. The operators demonstrated advanced knowledge of radio signal technology, allowing the drones to maintain operational control despite electronic countermeasures. This technical profile suggests a significant escalation in the capabilities of aerial threats facing domestic military installations. [3]

The event underscores a growing vulnerability in national air defense. Analysts note that modern, low-cost drone swarms can potentially overwhelm expensive, legacy defense systems. A recent article on NaturalNews.com highlighted that ‘NATO’s $400,000 missiles failed to stop Russia’s $11,000 drones, exposing a critical air defense weakness,’ a dynamic that may be mirrored in domestic base defense. [5] The incident at Barksdale follows a pattern of similar mysterious drone activity over sensitive sites, including a 2024 event where an ‘unknown fleet of drones’ entered restricted airspace over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia for 17 consecutive days. [6]

Massie suggests ‘wrong person’ arrested in Jan. 6 DC pipe bomb case

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) said Tuesday that he does not believe federal authorities arrested the true culprit behind two pipe bombs planted outside the Democratic and Republican national committee offices on the eve of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.

“I believe FBI arrested the wrong person in the J6 pipe bomb case,” Massie wrote on X, linking to an analysis by the conservative outlet The Blaze that he said found “stark physical differences” between Brian Cole Jr., who was arrested, and the suspect shown in videos released by federal and local law enforcement.

Cole was arrested in December after what government officials called an “aha moment” that led to a breakthrough in the nearly five-year investigation. The pipe bombs had become a lingering mystery of the days surrounding the riot.

Prosecutors have said that Cole gave a “detailed confession” after he was arrested, allegedly telling investigators he became “bewildered” by claims the 2020 election was stolen from President Trump and thought someone needed to “speak up” for people who believed the allegations of election fraud. He was the first suspect publicly identified by law enforcement. 

However, Cole has pleaded not guilty to two federal charges, and his attorneys have also suggested the government apprehended the wrong man. They have pointed to his diagnoses for autism and obsessive-compulsive disorder as reason for any suspicious behavior.

The Hill requested comment from the FBI and Justice Department.

The analysis by The Blaze claimed to show that Cole’s physical dimensions, gait, posture and mannerisms are at odds with the hoodie-clad suspect seen in videos released by law enforcement, though the outlet acknowledges that “poor video quality” complicated its efforts to review the footage.

Cole faces counts of transporting an explosive device in interstate commerce and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials. The first count carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, while the second count carries a five-year minimum sentence and up to 20 years.  

A judge ordered him to remain detained ahead of trial, after finding that there are “no conditions of release” the court could impose that would “reasonably assure the safety of the community.” His lawyers are seeking further review.
