EVERYDAY HEROES: Posted by Tara Thompson via Reddit – “Sam and I were at Target store yesterday The couple near the cart didn’t have enough money for their purchase. The lady in the green shirt started to hand things back to the cashier to be able to afford what she had. The lady in the black shirt came out from her lane and said you don’t need to return anything I will pay for the whole thing. She pulled out her card and did just that. The lady in the green shirt started to cry. We all just experienced such kindness. What a great story to share amongst all this pain in he world.”

FBI: Director Patel has revealed that, in 2023, then-Special Counsel Jack Smith and his “Arctic Frost” team subpoenaed the telephone records of Republican leaders for political purposes.

POLITICAL VIOLENCE: The study Turley references is @ https://networkcontagion.us/wp-content/uploads/NCRI-Assassination-Culture-Brief.pdf [16:53] – Jay Jones is the Democrat nominee for Attorney General in Virginia. The National Review has confirmed the vile text messages he sent, wishing death on his opponent and his opponent’s children, are real. In fact, Jay Jones has admitted he sent them.

Republican Delegate Carrie Coyner has also reported on a 2020 conversation she had with Jones about qualified immunity for police officers. She had warned him that ending those protections would get officers killed. His response was, “Well, maybe if a few of them died, then they would move on, not shooting people, not killing people.”

Under Virginia law, it is a felony to “knowingly communicate … a threat to kill or do bodily injury to a person.” Yet, Jones has yet to lose a single Virginia party endorsement.

The Weird Tale of Ian Andre Roberts

ICE recently arrested the system superintendent for Des Moines Independent Community School District, Ian Andre Roberts (54). Before that, he was superintendent of schools at Millcreek Township School District in Pennsylvania. He has also held high roles in public education in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., St. Louis, and California. During his 20 years as a leader in education, his districts were sued four times for sex discrimination. One district had to pay over $400,000 in settlements to resolve three of them.

DHS has published his entire immigration record and lists his first entry as having been on June 1, 1994, when he came through JFK on a temporary, B-2 non-immigrant visa (i.e., a visitor for pleasure). But Coppin State University in West Baltimore, MD, say Roberts graduated in 1998, which begs the question of why he wasn’t here on a student visa. Coppin says Roberts was “a standout scholar and athlete during his undergraduate studies”, but did not specify what degree he earned.

On July 3, 1996, part way through his undergraduate years, Roberts was charged with criminal possession of narcotics with intent to sell, criminal possession of narcotics, criminal possession of a forgery instrument and possession of a forged instrument in New York. Was he using drug sales to finance his education? And why wasn’t he deported, since his B-2 visa had expired?

On March 8, 1999, Roberts again entered the country, this time on an F-1 student visa. St. John’s University in New York has confirmed that he was matriculated and received a master’s degree in education on June 4, 2000. Roberts has claimed to have earned a second master’s degree from the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University, but Georgetown says they have no record of his ever attending.

Between 1999 and 2000, he left and returned several times, perhaps to train and then run in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, where he represented Guyana in track.

On Feb. 9, 2000, Roberts filed an application for employment authorization, which was approved on April 5, 2000, with an expiration date of April 1, 2001. In May 21, 2001, he filed for permanent resident status (aka, green card), but was rejected.

From Fall 2002 to Spring 2007, Roberts was enrolled in the doctorate program in urban educational leadership at Morgan State University in Baltimore. He has claimed to have earned a doctorate in Education, but Morgan State says that, while he did attend, he did not graduate.

On Nov. 1, 2012, Roberts was convicted of reckless driving, unsafe operation, and speeding in Maryland.

In 2017, while Roberts was the principal of Anacostia High School, Washington, DC, he registered as a Democrat with the Maryland State Board of Elections.

From 2018 to 2020, Roberts was Chief Schools Officer for Aspire Public Schools, Oakland, CA. Once in May, twice in June, and then again in July of 2018, Roberts filed green card applications; all four were rejected.

In July of 2018 and again in November of 2019, he filed for employment authorizations, which were granted. His right to be in the USA expired on Dec. 18, 2020. On Oct. 2, 2020, USCIS issued him a notice to appear before an immigration judge, which he ignored.

On Feb. 3, 2020, he was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon (having a loaded firearm outside his home or business); third-degree criminal possession of a weapon (an ammunition feeding device); and fourth-degree weapon charges.

On Jan. 20, 2022, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania convicted Roberts of unlawful possession of a loaded firearm.

From August 2020 through June 2023, Roberts was superintendent of the Millcreek Township School District, Pennsylvania. The Millcreek Township School District is saying now that, prior to hiring, Roberts went through an FBI background check, completed I-9 eligibility forms and supplied documentation to support his eligibility to work. The district said it “never received any information or notification regarding the expiration of Dr. Roberts’ work authorization” and called reports of his detention “deeply concerning.”

In August of 2023, Roberts had a sealed restraining order filed against him in Jackson County, Missouri.

Also in 2023, Roberts was hired to become the new system superintendent for Des Moines Independent Community School District.

On May 22, 2024, Roberts was court ordered in absentia to leave the country.

On April 24, 2025, an immigration judge denied Roberts’ motion to reopen his case.

In July of 2024, he received a speeding ticket from Iowa State Patrol.

On September 26, 2025, Roberts was detained in Des Moines, Iowa. Following news of the arrest, a spokesperson for the Des Moines Independent Community School District told the Associated Press that they had done a “comprehensive background check,” that he had sworn on his application to be a U.S. Citizen and had provided them with a driver’s license and a Social Security card. They also stated that a law firm had reviewed the documents and did not raise any concerns about his eligibility to work.

The district is also now blaming the head hunting firm they hired, saying the firm did not inform them of any problems. But the firm says it performed a criminal background check and notified the district of Robert’s rap sheet. One of the news reports I saw also noted that the school board also had learned during the hiring process that Roberts had lied about his doctoral degree. Clearly, they ignored all the red flags, because they hired him anyway.

On October 2, Roberts was transferred to federal custody where he faces charges of being an illegal alien in possession of multiple firearms. These firearms include a loaded Glock 9mm pistol found in his car when he was apprehended, as well as a loaded and chambered 9mm pistol found underneath a seat cushion in the living room, a loaded rifle found in the master bedroom closet, and a shotgun found behind the master bedroom headboard.

Shutdown

CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tus6VzGtuXY [:35] to hear then-Senator Clinton declare, unequivocally, that illegals should not get free health care.

Democrats are lying. They are demanding free health care for illegals. Why should anyone be surprised about this? CLICK https://x.com/Geiger_Capital/status/1973567193989390673 [:10] to see every one of the Democratic presidential wannabes endorse the idea.

CLICK https://x.com/DogRightGirl/status/1973553715631292738 to hear Hakeem Jeffries state, unequivocally, that “Not a single undocumented immigrant in this country gets a dime in Federal taxpayer dollars for any part of comprehensive Medicaid coverage.”

In his statement, Jeffries lies by using the logical fallacy known as amphiboly. The words he said are technically true; illegals don’t get Medicaid “dimes” handed to them. However, what he means for us to infer from his statement – i.e., that illegals aren’t getting free health care courtesy of American taxpayers – is false. Medicaid sends all payments directly to the providers.

Despite being responsible for shutting down the government, legislators will still get their paychecks and there’s nothing we can do about it, because their pay (as well as the president’s) are mandated in the Constitution. Active duty military have to continue working. They won’t get paid until after the shutdown ends.

Schumer is 74 years old! What IS it with these people that they refuse to retire and let younger people step up to the plate? My father was a coach. He always made sure his second and third string got playing time, so they could develop their skills and move up when the first stringers got injured or graduated.

IMO, AOC is only able to threaten Schumer because he never let the second stringers in party leadership take their rightful place while he, Biden, Pelosi, and the rest of the geriatric horde stepped back to serve as mentors and cheerleaders before gracefully retiring.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune says of Schumer, “Chuck’s in a really tough spot. I mean, he cut this deal with a lot of these left-wing special interest groups. And I think that’s unfortunate, but it is because he’s feeling pressure on his hard left. But I think there are a lot of reasonable Democrats in the middle. I mean, we’re hearing from him, Greta. We’re hearing from through my colleagues. They’re reaching out. People want an off-ramp. They want a way out of this box canyon that Chuck Schumer has marched them into.”

Patel also said, “This was the failure of a corrupt leadership that lied to Congress and to the American people about what really happened. Thanks to agents coming forward, we are now uncovering the truth. We are fully committed to transparency, and justice and accountability continues with this FBI.”

She said she wouldn’t be able to have a kid. I told her that if she is pregnant, there are so many local organizations that will help her parent or choose adoption, but that we had time to talk through all her options. But, her first step was to take the test and connect with the center, which she did!” –Ramona, Indiana Advocate

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Pour an abundance of comfort on the Kirk family. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

ASSASSIN: Tyler Robinson’s family says he had criticized Charlie Kirk, saying he was “full of hate and spreading hate.” The only people saying such things were and are left-wing liberals. Charlie himself was full of God’s love and sought every day to spread that love wherever he went.

ANTI-CHRISTIAN BIAS: [8:21] – The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) just published a report entitled “Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias Within the Federal Government.” It recounts a “consistent and systematic pattern of discrimination” against Christians by the Biden administration. The 48-page document is linked below.

In February, President Trump established the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias, which is chaired by Attorney General Pam Bondi. The task force is charged with ensuring that “any unlawful and improper conduct, policies, or practices that target Christians are identified, terminated, and rectified.”

His legal status was defined as a peregrinus, a common-born provincial who, while not a Roman citizen, was under the sovereign control of Rome. This status was not legally equivalent to foreign nationals who are here on valid visas, but it’s similar enough to understand that He was both documented and free to travel.

ARROGANCE: Zohran Mamdani is running for mayor of New York City. He’s called on the president of the United States to debate him. ::smh::

BABYLON BEE: Speculation has been swirling about President Donald Trump’s health, with some people even spreading wild rumors that he died over the weekend. What’s the real story?

The Babylon Bee has come up with the following list of undeniable signs that Trump’s health is going downhill:

  1. Trump has been occasionally posting in lowercase on social media, and his posts have been more coherent: This is not normal.
  2. He is sometimes seen sitting down: A sure sign of failing health. Obviously weak.
  3. He only managed to eat eight Big Macs today: It’s like he’s slowly fading away.
  4. The man’s frickin’ 80 or something: Obviously, anyone over 80 years old is at death’s door.
  5. Trump shakes hands with nobody, says nonsense, and wanders around aimlessly: Oh, wait, that was the last guy.
  6. He shot a mere 36 on the links this weekend: Sources close to Trump say he’s a shadow of his usual 24.
  7. He only works 23 hours a day now: A shocking decline in stamina.
  8. JD Vance beat him at Super Smash Bros. yesterday: This NEVER used to happen. Trump’s losing his touch.
  9. He introduced just 68 new tariffs in the last eight hours: This drop in productivity is concerning.
  10. Trump’s normally tangerine skin color is slowly fading to a burnt sienna hue: The end is near.

This is terrifying evidence. It’s obviously only a matter of time before Trump is out of commission. Did we miss any warning signs? Let us know in the comments.

1A: CLICK https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1960495188352045143 [:23] to see a man who claims to be a veteran “challenge” Trump’s recent executive order by burning a flag near the White House. He shouted into his bullhorn, “Burning this flag as a protest to that illegal fascist president that sits in that house. … There’s a First Amendment right to burn the American flag. No president can make a law, period.”

He was arrested, not for peaceful protest by flag burning, but because he set a fire in a public park outside a designated area. As for making a law, Trump did no such thing. He merely encouraged prosecutors to apply to flag burning the SCOTUS ruling that speech intended to incite violence is not protected under the First Amendment.

BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recent rulin in Moncada v. Blinken could strengthen Trump’s efforts to stop illegals from dropping their so-called “anchor babies” on U.S. soil.

The case involved the son of a Nicaraguan diplomat who had assumed he was a citizen, because he was born here. When he applied for a passport, they told him he wasn’t eligible, because his father had had full diplomatic immunity. The court ruled that he is not a U.S. citizen, because IOW, he and his family had not been “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States at the time of his birth.

Being “subject to the jurisdiction” means being under the complete legal authority of the U.S. government, including its laws, courts, and regulations. In United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), the Supreme Court ruled that the U.S.-born child of parents who were legal residents, though not citizens, was himself a citizen.

The question remains if those who are here illegally qualify as “subject to the jurisdiction” or not. IRS, anyone?

CABINET CLIPS: [5:05] – I asked Grok to explain Rubio’s joke about having four jobs. “The remark highlights Rubio’s unprecedented accumulation of high-level roles in the Trump administration, stemming from a series of appointments and interim assignments since his confirmation as Secretary of State in January 2025.The four jobs Rubio referenced are:

  1. Secretary of State: Rubio’s primary Cabinet position, confirmed unanimously by the Senate (99-0) on January 20, 2025. He leads the U.S. Department of State, overseeing foreign policy, diplomacy, and international relations.
  2. Interim (Acting) National Security Adviser: Appointed in May 2025 after President Trump removed Mike Waltz from the role amid a scandal involving unsecured communications (known as “Signalgate”). This position involves advising the president on national security matters and coordinating the National Security Council.
  3. Acting Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID): Assumed in February 2025 as part of efforts to restructure and reduce the agency’s operations, including a freeze on foreign aid and significant staff cuts. USAID handles U.S. foreign aid and development assistance programs.
  4. Acting Archivist of the United States (National Archives and Records Administration – NARA): Also taken on in February 2025 following the dismissal of the previous archivist, Colleen Shogan, in what was described as an act of retribution related to past investigations into Trump’s handling of classified documents. This role oversees the preservation and management of federal records.
