A New York Times report said that approximately 12 students from Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, were still alive an hour before police arrived in their classroom.

According to the report, 33 children and three teachers were in the path of the shooter. Police waited an hour and 17 mins before entering the classrooms. Despite 60 officers already present at the school, this was unacceptable.

The NYT:

Investigators have been working to determine whether any of those who died could have been saved if they had received medical attention sooner, according to an official with knowledge of the effort. But there is no question that some of the victims were still alive and in desperate need of medical attention. One teacher died in an ambulance. Three children died at nearby hospitals, according to the documents.

The documents also reveal that the officers arrived with long guns.

Pete Arredondo is the chief of Uvalde’s school district police and is being questioned about his response to the shooting which claimed 19 lives and injured two teachers.

Arredondo said in an interview with Texas Tribune, that he left behind two radios that caused communication problems between him (other authorities) and them. Arrendondo defended the decision by saying that grabbing radios was a waste of time and that radios might not have worked at the school based on previous experience.

The Tribune explains:

Arredondo made one of the most significant and consequential decisions in his life. He was at the northeast entrance of Robb Elementary at 11.35 AM and left his campus radios, police, and other equipment outside the school.

To Arredondo, the choice was logical. An armed killer was loose on the campus of the elementary school. Every second mattered. He wanted both hands free to hold his gun, ready to aim and fire quickly and accurately if he encountered the gunman.

Arredondo provided the following account during a telephone interview. Arredondo also gave written answers to the questions and explained his lawyer’s reasoning.

He said he didn’t speak up sooner as he didn’t want to cause more grief or blame others.

According to NBC News, the chief is also a councilman in his city. He was elected prior to the shooting. He missed his first meeting earlier this week.

Many Democrats and Republicans strongly reject the notion that Jan. 6, investigation and hearings, will have any significant impact on the midterm elections.

Multiple Democratic strategists and Republican members of Congress spoke out to Fox News Digital to discredit the idea that voters at either end of the political spectrum are more motivated to vote because of Jan. 6 Committee’s actions. Instead, they pointed to “much larger” issues such as the economy which they believe will play a greater role in November.

The Jan. 6 Committee is comprised of 7 Democrats, 2 Republicans, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.). It was part of an investigation into the Jan. 6 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol by former President Donald Trump supporters.

This hearing is likely to be one of many televised hearings by the committee. The next two are already scheduled for Monday and Wednesday next weeks.

Jessica Tarlov, a Fox News contributor and Democratic strategist, echoed Khanna’s sentiment.

She said that the “much larger” issues facing voters would be Roe v. Wade’s possible overturning by the Supreme Court and the ongoing debate about guns after the massacre at Uvalde Elementary School in Texas that resulted in the deaths of 19 students and two teachers.

Marshall and Tarlov both predicted that it would be “very likely” that Republicans would win control of House of Representatives in November. However, they were divided on what this meant for the investigation.

Tarlov expressed confidence that the committee would complete its work by November. Marshall however suggested that the investigation, even if it was not complete, “wouldn’t continue” after the House is under Republican control.

Despite the grim outlook for Democrats’ chances of winning, each member praised the efforts of the committee in conducting the investigation.

Marshall stated that the American people have to see the findings of the committee. “It’s vital for the American people that they know how far people went to overthrow a free, fair and democratic election.”

Tarlov stated that the committee serves a purpose and that Jan. 6 was “a stark reminder” of where the Republican Party stands today.

The Republicans acknowledged that other issues, including the economy, would be the main focus in November but had a negative view of the committee.

Brooks is running to replace retiring Senator Richard Shelby, R-Ala. He has not yet responded to a subpoena to appear in front of the committee. Brooks claimed that the work of the committee was “a propaganda effort” and “akin the Russian collusion hoax.”

Brooks, who agreed with Marshall and Tarlov, predicted that voters would care more about high gas prices and inflation and the possibility of a recession than about Jan. 6.

Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., suggested that Washington, D.C.’s January 6 focus, rather than issues affecting Americans every day, could drive voters to the Republicans.

Mast called the committee “a distraction, misdirection and a sleight-of-hand” before predicting that Republicans would win the midterms, ending the “inherently unjust” process of the committee.

Randi Weingarten (president of the leftwing American Federation of Teachers union) stated at Saturday’s March for Our Lives rally, Washington, DC that teachers should be trusted with guns to make decisions about what students learn.

Weingarten spoke at an event that was organized by survivors of the Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting in Parkland, Florida. She used the opportunity to criticize lawmakers and parents who don’t want to be involved in decisions about how public schools are taught.

Weingarten, along with other speakers, took part in an event that was planned following a Texas school shooting last month that left 19 students and 2 teachers dead. Weingarten asked Congress to solve the problem of disarming and detecting people who plan a massacre while opposing increased security in schools.

She called on people, like other speakers, to fight for their Second Amendment rights.

Weingarten quoted Mary Harris Jones “Mother”, an activist and organizer for miners in the early 20th centuries.

Paul Pelosi, husband of Nancy Pelosi was arrested for driving under the influence and driving with a blood-alcohol level above 0.08. He was driving a 2021 Porsche at the time he was taken into police custody. Pelosi apparently drunkenly crashed into another vehicle. According to the police reports, the accident happened at 10:26 p.m.; Pelosi was arrested around 11:44 p.m., but then he wasn’t booked until 4:13 a.m. It’s not been explained why there’s such a long time in between the arrest and the booking time. He was then released around three hours later.

There are many questions about this case.

The biggest question is: Where can we find the mugshot after an arrest? How about the bodycam? Many media outlets have requested them.

California Highway Patrol refused to release body- and dashboard camera footage of Paul Pelosi’s arrest last week under suspicion of drunk driving.

Fox News Digital received information from CHP about the footage. However, the Napa County District Attorney’s Office stated that the release of records could compromise the ongoing investigation.

This is the question. How would a mugshot and the bodycam video compromise an investigation? We see mug shots of every other Tom, Dick, and Harry, so why would Paul be any different?

But, there’s another question: Will they be charging him?

People spread the false claim that the charges against him had been dropped on the last day. Allison Haley says this is false. It is unclear if he will face charges.

A separate press release was issued by the DA’s Office on Thursday, stating that they are yet to decide what charges will be filed against the 82-year-old businessman.

According to the agency, “this is the standard procedure for all DUI cases that are referred by law enforcement agencies in Napa County. ”

They said that the case was being reviewed to determine whether any charges would be filed against Mr. Pelosi.

They haven’t even decided to charge him. Is he going to get off scot-free? Why would there be a question if he was drinking and driving? They aren’t talking. Also, if they charge him, they’re not even going to arraign him until 8:30 a.m. on August 3. Usually, an arraignment is within a day or two of the arrest. So, why is this being put off to a time when many Americans are on vacation?

There are many queries, but not enough information from authorities. These questions must be answered.

Friday inflation reached a new 40-year high. The annualized rate increased by 8.6 percent in May. This puts an end to previous predictions that inflation would slow down.

Joe Biden probably planned the speech before getting the numbers. Things got a little strange.

Let’s start with his economic claims. He believes Vladimir Putin is responsible for the current inflationary boom.

Biden might not know that the internet exists. We can search for inflation data that is older than this. It is false to say that inflation is due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Biden didn’t stop there. Biden also lied about core inflation.

The president spoke about January 6th and the “MAGA gang”. Trump supporters were downgraded from “Ultra MAGA,” so I am sorry. It’s important to note how cowardly Biden is when it comes to taking responsibility for higher prices.

Many Republicans are okay with individuals and corporations paying taxes. But Republicans also understand that shouting at corporations for simply responding to market forces is not an economic strategy, it’s pathetic.

Biden claimed in his speech that the rise in gas prices is not due to greedy oil companies. Shipping costs are not up because of greedy shipping companies. Those prices are up because of the horrible monetary policy of the Biden administration. Spending $2 trillion out of the gate–when the economy was already overheated–was a recipe for disaster, and now the president has stuck you with the bill. In the face of that crisis, instead of being a leader, Biden continues to mumble falsely about Russia and bash oil companies.

Moving on, I promised some weirdness. Here it is, Biden deeply inhaling into the microphone, he talked about wanting to punch his political enemies.

This comment was made days after a leftist attempted to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh. As I have often observed, Democrats don’t always follow their own rules.

His handlers need to get in touch. We are not referring to those who suggested that Putin should be blamed for long-standing inflation. They will be very unhappy about this.

Friday’s ruling by a judge was that Home Depot should drop a complaint alleging it violated workers’ rights by denying them the right to wear Black Lives Matter messaging.

Bloomberg reports that the US National Labor Relations Board’s General Counsel claimed that the company violated federal law by prohibiting staff from wearing “Black Lives Matter” imagery on their aprons. This was contrary to Paul Bogas, an administrative law judge.

Bogas stated that Black Lives Matter labels were not objectively and sufficiently directly related to terms and conditions for employment.

Bogas said that Black Lives Matter was “originated and is primarily used to address the unjustified killings Black people by law enforcement and vigilantes.”

Appeals to decisions made by agency judges may be made to the Washington, D.C. labor board, which is currently controlled by Democrats, and can then be moved to federal court.

Fox News Digital contacted Home Depot for comment but they did not respond immediately.

Last year, the NLRB claimed that Home Depot had “selectively” and “discriminately” enforced its dress code in order to target Black Lives Matter imagery.

The National Park Service recently announced that Yellowstone National Park’s Mount Doane would become First Peoples Mountain.

According to the agency, Thursday’s change was made in order to remove an offensive name from America’s first national parks.

The U.S. Board on Geographic Names unanimously voted 15-0 in favor of the decision.

The Wyoming mountain is located at 10,551 feet east Yellowstone Lake.

Gustavus Doane was the original name of the mountain.

Doane was born in Illinois in 1840. He grew up in California, attended the University of the Pacific Santa Clara and enlisted in the California Hundred, a federal volunteer unit that was absorbed into the Second Massachusetts Volunteer Cavalry.

He was promoted to sergeant in 1864 and resigned to accept a rank as lieutenant with Mississippi Marine Brigade’s first regiment, according to Montana State University.

Doane was elected mayor of Yazoo City Mississippi after the Civil War in 1867.

He applied for a commission in the army a year later and was made second lieutenant in Second U.S. Cavalry.

Doane served the regiment for 24 years and was promoted to captain in 1884.

Doane was also the leader of the Langford-Washburn expedition in 1870, which was the first official exploration of Yellowstone National Park.

Doane tried unsuccessfully to win the Yellowstone National Park superintendency and gain widespread acceptance by the army for his invention, Doane Centennial Tent.

According to the National Park Service, Doane was credited with leading an attack on a group of Piegan Blackfeet following the murder of a White fur merchant in 1870.

Based on the Rocky Mountain Tribal Council’s recommendations, the name was sent to the Board on Geographic Names.

Yellowstone National Park reached out over the past several months to all 27 Tribes and received no objections or concerns about the change.

In the coming days, The Domestic Names Geographic Names Information System will reflect the name change.

The Democrat-allied New York Times published a damning article Saturday calling into question President Biden’s 2024 “political viability” as the nation is “completely falling apart.”

The Times spent the majority of 2020 supporting and aiding Biden’s chances of defeating Donald Trump. Now, the Times has issued a stark warning about Biden’s “age” and his ability to fight back against former President Donald J. Trump.

The paper, which was based on old age and lack of excitement and’regret und anxiety’, outlined Democrats’ concerns about Biden running again for president, but this time with a poor track record. The Times pointed out numerous failures of the president, including 40-year-high inflation and record-high gas prices. They also cited multiple losses in culture wars such as abortion and the stalled far-left proposals in the Build Back Better package.

The Times stated that interviews with close to 50 Democratic officials (from county leaders to members Congress) revealed that the party was alarmed at Republicans’ growing strength and extremely pessimistic about a path forward. “As the nation faces increasing challenges and tired base voters show low enthusiasm Democrats in union meetings and back rooms on Capitol Hill, as well as party gatherings across the country, are quietly worried about Mr. Biden’s leadership, age, and capability.”

Steve Simeonidis, a member of the Democratic National Committee, told the Times that the nation is not on a right track. As a result, Biden shouldn’t seek the nomination for 2024.

According to a Democrat congressional candidate, Democrats are confused about the country’s future. She also pointed out the lack of enthusiasm among Democrats heading into 2022’s midterms when Republicans are expected win the House.

Despite this, Democrats are not in agreement on who could replace Biden as the leader of the Democrat Party. The Times listed many names, but each one lost to Biden during the 2020 Democrat primaries.

Biden has said he will run for president in 2024. Perhaps because it would decrease his political capital. However, Biden’s current political capital is in poor shape. Only 73% of Democrats are satisfied with Biden’s job performance. According to the Times’ recent polling, only 48 percent want Biden running for office in 2024.

According to reports, President Biden’s future as leader of the Democratic Party is up for discussion.

According to the New York Times, many Democrats are openly discussing the viability and potential success of Biden as a presidential candidate.

According to the newspaper, it interviewed more than 50 members of the Democratic National Committee about Biden’s performance and his role for 2024. The report says that Biden’s leadership abilities are being questioned as the party searches for a new strategy.

The presidency is a very taxing job. And the reality is that the president would be closer 90 to 80 than 80 at the end a second term. That would be a significant issue,” David Axelrod, Democrat strategist, told the paper.

The shadow of the Biden administration continues to be cast by inflation and high gas prices.

According to a new poll, Americans rank inflation second to gun violence in a new poll that was released Wednesday. Biden’s lowest approval rating was reached yet. Democrats were still struggling to get registered voters support for their midterm elections.

“Democrats are like, “What the heck is going on?” Our country is falling apart. Jasmine Crockett (Democratic nominee for key House seat in Dallas) said that she thinks we are lacking in excitement.

Biden’s administration has not done much to help him win over the public. His cabinet has often had to deliver less-than optimistic projections for the country.

Jennifer Granholm, the U.S. Secretary for Energy, predicted that this summer would be “rough” for drivers because of record-high gas prices. They hit a staggering $5 per gallon on Thursday. She laughed off an earlier question about Americans worrying about gas prices.

Taxation seems endless. New Zealand may soon have a variety of taxation options.

The country has made it clear that climate change is a problem. The milk and meat industries do a disservice in the area of prevention.

Therefore, change may be in the air: Having digested the problem, the government is prepared to institute a historic tax. As reported by Sky News, a new proposal would launch a duty on cow farts. Sheep would be scrutinized, too.

The nation has twice as many cattle as Kiwis and four times the number of sheep as citizens.

Nearly half of its total greenhouse gas emissions come from farming, mainly in the form of methane.

Farts had a pass in the past.

In the country’s earlier emissions trading system, agricultural emissions were exempted from being included. The government has been criticized for failing to reduce global warming.

The atmosphere has become as hot as a Dutch oven because of all the pollution.

In its 20 first years in the atmosphere, methane was 80 times more warming than carbon dioxide. It is therefore a powerful tool for reducing warming in the short term.

Taxes would also place financial burdens on burps and farts. Here are the biological implications.

More than 85% of New Zealand’s total methane emissions come from two agricultural sources: animal stomachs and animal manure, with the former accounting for 97% of that total.

In cows, most (95%) of the methane is exhaled, while 5% is emitted via flatulence.

According to the draft plan, co-created between government officials and farmers’ representatives, farmers will be required to start paying their dues in 2025.

James Shaw, Climate Change Minister, smells success

“There is no doubt that the atmospheric methane must be reduced. We can achieve this goal by creating an efficient emissions pricing system.

Flatulence is not the only problem that agriculturalists can help with. There are many ways to skin cats.

The proposal includes incentives for farmers to use feed additives to reduce their carbon emissions. However, farmers can offset their emissions by using feed additives. This proposal will generate revenue for research, development, and advisory services to farmers.

It is time for history to be made and New Zealand is taking a chance.

The proposal would be the first country in the world to tax farmers for emissions from livestock.

Gas taxes sound appealing. This could be used to raise money for households all over the world.

Even so, in New Zealand, what global difference might it make? The nation has a populace of only five million.

Beyond that, will farmers be able to afford it? If the tax on bovine farts causes too much of a strain, some may call it bull shit.
