VIDEO: Female Venezuelan Police Officer Showing Off Sidearm Shoots Woman
A short video showing a female police officer ("officer 1") talking with another woman outside a metro station in Caracas. For some reason--probably to show off her sidearm--officer 1 removes her pistol from her holster and promptly shoots the woman opposite her. Officer 1 then trots over to another female officer ("officer 2") to, I would guess, explain what happened. Officer 1 and 2 then seat the victim, while officer 2 goes off to look for a phone? Or a male officer to help? It is unclear. But they weren't providing any first aid or calling an ambulance. The description of the video states:
A 22-year-old woman was seriously injured after a police officer's gun accidentally discharged during a conversation outside a metro station in Caracas. The two women were having a friendly conversation when the gun went off and injured the civilian's abdomen. Authorities said the shooting appears to have been accidental and have opened an internal investigation.

The Telegraph: "How bad will white rage get?"
Is this the week that white identity in Britain has emerged as a significant political force?
The conviction of Henry Nowak’s killer and the release of police bodycam footage showing the 18-year-old student’s final moments in police custody have sparked outrage from politicians and the public.
The tragic loss of Nowak’s life was dramatically compounded by the injustice that led to it. Here was an innocent young man who died as a result of an aggressor using false allegations of a racist attack – and of the police swallowing those lies, and acting on them to the extent that they ignored Nowak’s desperate cries that he had been stabbed and couldn’t breathe.
For many, the officers’ decision to immediately accept Vickrum Digwa’s version of events was grim evidence of the “two-tier” justice system that has evolved, thanks to a state obsession with diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) above all else.
Nigel Farage went as far as to say that Nowak had been “killed by DEI”, his murder acting as a “watershed moment” to confront “a two-tier culture where some groups receive greater protection than others”. “Henry’s family have responded to this in just the most extraordinarily dignified way,” Farage added. “But I suggest the rest of us respond to this with pure, cold rage.”
Farage predicted that “the division will get far worse”, saying that violent protests in Southampton were “the beginning. If we get large numbers of young white males who think the police are prejudiced against them, goodness knows where we go. This has to end”.
From the Left-wing point of view, this is tantamount to instigating a race war. Sir Keir Starmer accused Farage of “exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division”.
Even Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, accused Farage of “playing identity politics”, and behaving like a “rabble rouser”. In comments that emerged on Friday, which were made before the backlash over Nowak’s death, Badenoch warned that politicians who used political conflict to pander to particular communities risked a “civil war”.
What Farage and Badenoch appear to understand is that two distinct forces are combining to raise the political significance of white identity in Britain – anti-white discrimination, and an anxiety among conservative white voters about the country’s rapidly changing demographics.
Anti-white discrimination
Discrimination against white people in Britain has become a byproduct of woke ideology, which I define as the making sacred of historically marginalised race, gender and sexual identities. This reached a fever pitch between 2015 and the early 2020s, having been rocket-boosted in 2020 by Black Lives Matter protests following the death of George Floyd, which included the toppling of statues and the overhaul of museum displays.
Today, it is encapsulated by the prioritisation of the concept of “equity” over “equality”, both in policing and elsewhere.
This became institutionalised in public and private organisations in the form of DEI policies. Instead of treating everyone equally, DEI seeks to engineer equal outcomes by favouring protected groups. It takes inspiration from the critical race theory slogan that “disparities equal discrimination”, and prefers a colour-conscious approach to a colourblind one.
But as Kaufman goes on to explain, the result or consequence is active discrimination against white people:
Instead of protecting all groups equally, DEI results in minorities, but not whites, being insulated by “hate speech” laws and corporate or university codes banning offensive speech. This also infringes on the freedom of expression of “privileged” groups, such as white people and men.
While the law and public morality still claim to treat everyone the same, the reality is that critical theories of systemic racism, sexism and gender identity have deeply penetrated Britain’s legal system, institutions, social norms and public sensitivities. Thus, sections 158 and 159 of the 2010 Equality Act permit institutions to engage in “positive action” to hire and promote members of protected groups.
The same legislation, introduced under Gordon Brown, enlarged the definition of discrimination to include radical “systemic” definitions, including so-called “indirect” forms, meaning that companies could be sued for policies which are applied in the same way for everyone, but are said to disadvantage a particular group. The Equality Act also introduced a legal duty on public bodies to not just protect against discrimination, but to promote non-discrimination and “foster good relations... between people who have a protected characteristic and those who do not”.
This served as the justification for HR professionals and lobby groups to force DEI into companies, charities, schools, the NHS and other public bodies. While the legislation mentions that steps to combat discrimination should be “proportionate”, in practice, its spirit gave a green light to activists within organisations to start calling the shots. Banding together in identity-based “affinity groups” and DEI committees, and with the assistance of politically extreme DEI consultants and lobby groups such as Stonewall, they implemented their own expansive interpretations of the Equality Act.
You can think of this as a type of "enshitification" of employment and education. As the author relates:
Woke ideology dominates the ethos of numerous institutions, including universities, schools, the BBC, the NHS, the Civil Service and a growing number of law firms. A recent study found that up to 90 per cent of staff in UK public bodies surveyed using the centre-Left More in Common’s “Hidden Tribes” questionnaire were from the “progressive activist” segment of the population, which makes up just 10 per cent of society at large. Other organisations that have fielded the same survey have been so embarrassed by the skewed results that they have destroyed the data. The prestige of progressive extremism among the highly educated, who dominate human resources and public-facing roles, means that this ideology has even penetrated the upper reaches of institutions not dominated by university graduates, such as the police and military.
And pay particular attention to this bit (bold added):
Progressive staff hire each other and form echo chambers where their sense of reality departs from social norms. Only when scandals break the surface, as with the Nowak murder, the leaked report into BBC bias or universities advertising positions where white men are prohibited from applying, does woke capture become visible to the public.
That describes how many groups infiltrate and eventually take over an institution. But it doesn't end with employment or education because it extends into politics. And in that regard, Kaufmann warns that "the woke and anti-woke divide over race is emerging as a critical divide in British politics, predicting whether someone votes for a party of the Right or of the Left."
He goes on to discuss the split between the Left and the Right on different issues, demographic anxiety as a result of the "Great Replacement" (although he does not use that term), and the importance of allowing the Right to think it is being heard in order to avoid political violence. On this point, Kaufmann writes:
In addition, research shows that far-Right violence tends to be lower when populists do well in the polls because there is an electoral outlet for their frustrations. Political violence, whether in Northern Ireland prior to the rise of Sinn Fein as a party, or in contemporary England, is greater when there is no democratic safety valve for grievances. If Reform were in power, there is a reasonable chance that the Southport riots would not have taken place. And with Farage giving voice to the views of the demonstrators, they are more likely to feel that they are being heard, and thus less likely to riot.
This should give you pause when you consider the number of "conservative" politicians that go soft after they enter office. Is their purpose to actually change anything or just act as a safety valve? Kaufmann expounds on this in his conclusion:
The dual phenomena of demographic anxiety among white voters, and the perception that the system is slanted against them, has the potential to forge a powerful electoral bloc. Concerns about rapidly changing demographics, abetted by an elite which is unwilling to listen to restrictionist voters, exacerbate the sense of injustice created by the cascading effects of woke ideology. As the white British decline in number, demographic anxiety is likely to rise, while the willingness of a self-assured majority to grant extra privileges to minorities declines. This makes it all the more imperative not to fan the flames of populist resentment by implementing woke cultural socialism in our institutions.
Criticism of DEI is not divisive – suppressing criticism is. To stand any chance of tackling this problem head-on, the cultural questions about changing society in the name of anti-racism or inclusion must be dealt with openly, not behind closed institutional doors. The ideas that equity should trump equality, and that some groups deserve special rights, run counter to what most British people believe.
Woke is not some arcane intellectual pastime – it has powerful real-world effects. It is imperative that those who believe in freedom, truth and cohesion resist its pernicious effects on the elite institutions that govern much of our lives.
In other words, he is warning the elites that they are boiling the frog too quickly.
Dem Political Worker Savagely Beats 98 Year Old Man After He Catches Her Trespassing
From the New York Post: "98-year-old beaten with broomstick, chair in NYC by woman campaigning for Dem: cops." As you may know, most apartment buildings in New York have locked doors at the entry way and/or doorman to keep out strangers. In this particular case, per the article, Tashara Abel saw an entry door that had been propped open and went inside to start stuffing mailboxes in the lobby of the building. The unidentified victim--the building caretaker--had propped the door open when he went out to a garage, returned and found Abel trespassing. He asked what she was doing and demanded that she leave. That apparently so enraged her that she beat him with a stick and a metal chair, then fled the scene. The article states that Abel has been charged with three counts of assault, burglary and criminal possession of a weapon.
Pentagon Angry Over Israel's Spying On U.S.
From Zero Hedge: "Angry Pentagon Sources Leak Report Of Israel's 'Unhinged' Spying On US Officials." From the lede:
It's no secret that Israeli spying and surveillance is pervasive, and it is often even directed at its most powerful ally and backer, the United States. But the phenomenon has escalated of late, outraging Washington intelligence officials.
Behind the scenes of this alliance which mainstream media and pundits typically project as essentially untouchable, deep-seated friction is boiling over. In an unprecedented move, the Pentagon has officially elevated Israel's counterintelligence threat level to its highest possible category, driven by surging internal alarm that this primary Mideast regional ally is aggressively ramping up espionage operations targeting senior US officials - even Trump's own top Iran negotiator.
Despite a close bilateral alliance, multiple incidents since Israel's foundation that Israeli intelligence agencies (such as Mossad, Shin Bet, Aman, and the now-defunct LAKAM) have actively collected American political, military, scientific, and economic secrets.
The article hits the highlights of some of the worst spying scandals involving Israel (that we know of) including the Pollard Affair, noting that it appears that some of the military and intelligence information that Pollard provided to Israel may have been passed on to the Soviet Union.
However, this most recent concern is that Israel has stepped up its attempts to spy on the Trump administration in relation to negotiations with Iran. NBC reports:
The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency in recent weeks issued the new counterintelligence threat assessment amid rising tensions between Israel and the U.S. over the way forward in the war with Iran, the officials said. They said the DIA posted an internal message, viewed by one of the current officials, that raised the level for Israel to “critical.”
The designation stems from concerns within the Pentagon that Israel is making a particular effort to surveil top U.S. officials to get information on the Trump administration’s internal deliberations and decision-making on the conflicts in the Middle East, the officials said.
The DIA assessment includes a seven-page document and features a chart, according to one of the current U.S. officials. The document says the assessment of Israel is that its ability to conduct human espionage and technical collection is at a “critical level,” according to the official.
It also identifies a series of specific incidents that heightened U.S. concerns, the official said.
Israel laughably denies that it spies on the U.S. but the NBC article goes on to note:
According to current and former diplomats and former national security officials, Israel for years has had a reputation for aggressive espionage even against the U.S., its closest ally. It’s a practice that has long raised concerns among national security and diplomatic officials, and U.S. intelligence officials closely monitor the issue, according to experts and the current and former U.S. officials.
Top U.S. officials often take extra care when traveling to Israel, sometimes using burner phones and computers and taking extreme caution when speaking in hotel rooms during official trips, the current and former U.S. officials and experts said.
Israel has “a hyper-aggressive intelligence service,” said Emily Harding, vice president of the Defense and Security Department and director of the intelligence, national security and technology program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think tank in Washington. “They are exceedingly interested in what we are up to,” Harding said of the Israelis.

Mobs Chase Immigrants Out Of South Africa
This article is from late March, but nevertheless is indicative that people everywhere are getting fed up with foreigners taking their jobs and driving up costs: "Hundreds flee as South Africa anti-migrant mobs go door-to-door"--The South African. An excerpt:
Hundreds of foreigners fearing for their lives have taken shelter in community halls along South Africa’s coast, saying mobs of locals were going door-to-door telling them to leave the country.
Mostly nationals of Malawi and Mozambique, many told AFP they had fled their homes at the weekend and spent nights in the mountains and bush, before making their way to the small-town community centres.
‘Don’t belong’
“They said ‘you are a foreigner, you don’t belong in South Africa, so you must go’,” Mozambican Thomas Vincent Baloyi told AFP in Gansbaai, around 110km southeast of Cape Town.
“I said, ‘no, I got documents to be here in South Africa’. They didn’t want to know,” said Baloyi, who has been in the country for nearly 16 years working in construction and gardening.
“They just chased us away like dogs… that is unfair because, actually, I’m a human being,” the 32-year-old said.
“We just stayed in the bush until six in the morning.”
Weeks of mostly small protests across South Africa against illegal foreign nationals exploded into violence at the weekend in the town of Mossel Bay, 250km up the coast, where 55 shacks were torched.
The South African police say two people from Mozambique were killed but did not link the deaths to an anti-illegal migrant march held hours before.
The Mozambique government said five of its citizens were killed as a “direct consequence of the xenophobic attacks”.
These are black mobs chasing out blacks from other countries. But I suspect that we will see more of this as economies around the world contract.
In any event, the mob action has prompted the government to do something: "South Africa's president unveils crackdown on illegal migration" reports the BBC. The article relates:
South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa has addressed the nation to announce a raft of new measures to crackdown on illegal migration as tensions rise over anti-foreigner marches and frustrations about high unemployment.
These steps include jailing employers who hire undocumented workers, setting up dedicated courts to speed up deportations of undocumented migrants and having a register with biometric data "for every person in the country" to stamp out identity theft.
But he also warned South Africans not to take the law into their own hands.
Over the last few weeks, several African nations have been organising the evacuation of some of their nationals as fears of violence grow.
Anti-migrant groups are demanding undocumented migrants leave the country - and have set 30 June as the deadline.
Last weekend, several hundred African migrants fled their homes in the Overberg region of South Africa's Western Cape Province after reports of door-to-door intimidation, as well as the deaths of two Mozambicans in Mossel Bay.
Many sought shelter in community halls, at the beach or nearby mountains. Some have opted to return home - and this weekend another group of around 140 people boarded buses to Malawi and Mozambique.
In Durban, foreigners have been camping outside the city's home affairs department for several weeks, saying they fear for their lives.
The U.S. should also start jailing employers that hire illegals.
Traitors
Breitbart reports: "Corporate Special Interest Launches ‘Quiet’ Lobbying Effort to Stop Trump’s Crackdown on Visa Overstays."
Corporate special interests, including the tech industry and the United States Chamber of Commerce, have launched a “quiet” lobbying effort against President Donald Trump’s crackdown on visa overstays, the Washington Post reports.
Last month, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a policy memo reiterating that, under “long-standing immigration law and immigration court decisions,” visa holders must apply to adjust status to a green card at consular offices outside the U.S.
[snip]
In particular, USCIS is hoping to reduce the nation’s visa overstays by having temporary visa holders return to their native countries in order to apply for green cards. Prior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) estimates have suggested that about half of the nation’s illegal alien population initially arrived on temporary visas and overstayed.
“Nonimmigrants, like students, temporary workers, or people on tourist visas, come to the U.S. for a short time and for a specific purpose. Our system is designed for them to leave when their visit is over. Their visit should not function as the first step in the Green Card process,” Kahler said.
Since the announcement, the Washington Post reports that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, National Immigration Forum, and other corporate special interest groups, including tech industry insiders, have launched a lobbying campaign to shield their foreign workforces from the rules set out in the policy memo.
It is all about replacing American workers either for cheaper foreign labor and/or to advance their own tribes over Americans. In either event, the behavior should be punished.
How Convenient
From the New York Post on Saturday: "Spencer Pratt’s lead over Nithya Raman nearly vanishes in bombshell ballot drop."
Spencer Pratt’s once-comfortable lead in the Los Angeles mayoral primary has been slashed yet again — as a fresh batch of ballots delivered another major boost to progressive City Councilmember Nithya Raman in their race to the November runoff.
New results released Saturday show Pratt’s advantage over Raman shrinking to just 7,494 votes, down from more than 20,000 a day earlier. Roughly 78% of the ballots had been counted as of Saturday.
"Progressive"? More like a communist as she is a member of the Democratic Socialist of America.

A flood of late-counted ballots has turned the race on its head, shrinking Pratt’s lead day after day and suddenly putting a Bass-Raman runoff on the table after Pratt appeared destined for November just days ago.
The latest ballot update on Saturday delivered another major boost for Raman.
The likelihood of Socialist Democrat Nithya Raman being elected Los Angeles’s next mayor is surging following multiple late-breaking ballot dumps nearly a week after polls closed and despite having trailed Republican Spencer Pratt by ten points on Election Day.
The Indian-born Los Angeles city councilwoman who entered the race in February sits in third place at the time of writing Saturday night. She is just one percentage point behind Pratt, a former reality star with whom she is competing for the second spot in November’s runoff election, according to The Associated Press (AP). With 78% of ballots counted, incumbent Democratic Mayor Karen Bass has 34.6% of the vote, Pratt has 27.3%, and Raman has 26.2%.

Some Articles On The Karmelo Anthony Murder Trial
- "Eyewitness: Karmelo Anthony Was Asked to Leave Opposing Team’s Tent ‘15 Times’ Before Fatal Stabbing"--Breitbart.
The witness claims that Memorial students began telling Anthony that his presence under their tent was inappropriate.
“You probably shouldn’t be here, you need to leave our tent,” the 17-year-old claims his teammates began saying to Anthony.
The youth, whose identity is protected due to his age, says that Metcalf and other Memorial athletes told Anthony to leave around 15 times.
“Touch me and find out,” Anthony allegedly replied.
The teen then claims the arguing persisted for roughly two minutes, culminating with Metcalf giving Anthony a “minor push.” During this time, according to the witness, Anthony had his hands in his bag, which was on his lap. However, the student-athletes assumed Anthony was bluffing.
After the “minor push,” the witness claims Anthony stabbed Metcalf.
Anthony then dropped the knife and ran out of the tent and down the stadium steps to the track.
- "Karmelo Anthony jurors gasp in horror as they're shown never-before-seen photo from brutal stabbing"--Daily Mail.
Jury members gasped in horror after being shown never-before-seen photos of Austin Metcalf's heart as Karmelo Anthony's trial continued.
Metcalf, 17, was stabbed once in the chest. The knife pierced through his bone in the center of his chest and punctured the right side of his heart, a medical examiner testified on Saturday.
Jurors were shown a photo of the 'gapping' two-inch stab wound that 'completely went through the heart wall.'
- "Karmelo Anthony ‘provoked’ Austin Metcalf before fatal stabbing — self-defense claim shot down in bombshell testimony"--New York Post.
Anthony allegedly antagonized Metcalf during the fatal April 2025 confrontation at David Kuykendall Stadium, multiple teen witnesses told the Collin County, Texas courtroom.
They recalled Anthony keeping his hands hidden in his backpack until Metcalf shoved his shoulders to try to get Anthony out of their tent – then described the alleged killer pulling out a knife and stabbing the victim.
Also:
A 16-year-old student athlete, who knew Metcalf since middle school, painted a vivid picture of the moments leading up to the bloodshed.
He said he was sitting under the tent with Metcalf and his other teammates when Anthony waltzed over and took a seat next to him on the bench.
“Crazy weather, huh?” Anthony bizarrely asked, according to the witness.
The Memorial team was instantly confused and told Anthony, a stranger, to leave – but he allegedly refused and became aggressive, the witness claimed.
“F–k y’all,” Anthony allegedly started saying, the student said, according to Fox 4. Anthony wasn’t yelling, he said under cross-examination.
“F–k y’all. I’m not going to leave. Y’all are a bunch of p–sies. Y’all not going to do anything.
“Touch me and see what happens.”
“I’m not going to fight you,” Metcalf allegedly replied.
