Four Florida teens, including a high school football star, were killed in a high-speed chase earlier this month after allegedly stealing a vehicle.

WLBT reported Saturday that the April 20 pursuit started with a Honda CRV that was reported stolen out of Gainesville and ended in the Waldo area. A license plate reader had detected the alleged theft hours later.

A deputy followed the stolen vehicle while waiting for backup to arrive. Once backup officers arrived to help, they tried to pull the SUV over, but it slowed down and then sped off.

“We confirmed with the Gainesville Police Department that they still had that car entered as stolen, and the officer waited until he had three backup units with him before he initiated the traffic stop,” Bradford County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Brad Smith said. “They did start to pull over on the shoulder of the road, but before they came to a complete stop, they accelerated again, and that is when the chase was on.”

WLBT revealed that Bradford County deputies reached speeds of 111 mph during the chase, but they were unable to match the speed of the SUV. Police officials said deputies pulled back, and a Florida Highway Patrol trooper continued the chase.

The trooper was able to ram the vehicle and used a PIT maneuver. This caused the SUV to roll over and slam into a cement pole.

Here are some photos showing the aftermath of the ugly wreck.

Authorities revealed two of the teenagers occupying the SUV wore ankle monitors, and three had active warrants for their arrests.

Two teens were pronounced dead on the scene, while the other two perished at the hospital. All of those killed in the crash were between the ages of 14 and 16.

The Main Street Daily News identified two of the deceased youths as Newberry High School students, Jabril Cheevers and Lawrence McClendon Jr. The latter was a star sophomore defensive back for the football team.

Ed Johnson, Newbury’s head football coach, mourned the loss of one of his top players.

Lawrence was a great kid to be around and have in our program. As a football player, he was competitive, talented, and relentless, with a knack for making big plays.

He will be truly missed by everyone in the Panther football family.

China Supports Pro-Palestine Protests on US Campuses

(Photo by Christopher Davila/Xinhua)

Xinhua, Chinese state media, ran the headline, “U.S. police brutality against student protesters exposes hypocrisy on free speech.” The article begins with, “As the world watches in horror at the footage of U.S. police viciously suppressing student protests.” Chinese state media is providing daily coverage of the protests, painting the US as authoritarian and the police as evil. Many of the articles have the number of arrests in the title, such as “Over 100 arrested at UT-Austin amid pro-Palestinian protest.”

In light of the fact that there are no First Amendment freedoms in China, it is ironic that Beijing is outraged that “Peaceful student demonstrators were framed by armed police and U.S. media as ‘perpetrators’ deserving ‘crackdown.’” Peaceful student demonstrators would be quickly subdued and shipped off to camps in China or killed, as happened at Tiananmen Square.

China was publishing these articles while Secretary of State Antony Blinken was in Beijing, but he raised no objection. Even US politicians and business leaders are succumbing to China’s will, either wittingly or unwittingly.

This all has the feel of the US-USSR Cold War and the Vietnam era when liberals were protesting in favor of the Vietcong and the Khmer Rouge. The difference was that during the Vietnam War, the government was largely in favor of America.

The blocs of the new Cold War are China-Russia-Iran vs. the US and the West. However, in addition to proxy armies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, Beijing is weakening our country from within. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) subsidizes the companies making fentanyl precursor chemicals and exporting them to Mexican drug cartels. By doing so, the PRC is killing 150 Americans a day, physically destroying the nation.

China is also using media campaigns, disinformation, online campaigns, and indoctrination to undermine the West from the inside. Amplifying liberal narratives about drug legalization or decriminalization, China is able to convince Americans that drugs and overdoses are normal. The liberal solution of handing out free Narcan is a good example of reducing deaths while failing to address the fact that a large swath of the population is destroying themselves slowly.

The climate agenda is another narrative Beijing encourages the left to push. China is happy to see Europe and the US adopt green restrictions, which make their products more expensive, while China, the world’s largest consumer of coal, continues to increase emissions year on year, so they can undercut the world’s exports. An added bonus is that by getting the rest of the world to stop using coal, China gets coal at a discount. Additionally, China manufactures solar panels and EV batteries, which are too polluting to produce in Europe. So, by pushing the climate agenda, China makes a market for their own exports.

Beijing follows around behind Washington, playing the role of “the friend of the friendless.” After the US pulled out of Afghanistan, Beijing accepted the credentials of the Taliban’s ambassador. Afghanistan is sitting on about a trillion dollars’ worth of rare earth minerals, and China is likely to be the country that gets to extract them.

By supporting Iran, which in turn supports the Houthis, China is disrupting global shipping. Coincidentally, the Houthis have agreed not to attack Russian and Chinese ships. Global shipping is getting more expensive, while China’s shipping remains cheap.

Blocs are forming globally, and at the same time, a fifth column is growing within Europe, Canada, and the US among the liberal left. The pro-Palestine protester, woke mobs, and leftist outrage are all promoted and amplified through social media accounts tied to Beijing and Moscow to incite discontent and division.

Among all of the many ironies is the concept of Queers for Palestine, given that homosexuality is outlawed in many Muslim-majority countries and may even be punished with the death penalty. The fact that China and Russia are posing as friends to the Muslim world, despite Putin’s two wars in Chechnya and crackdowns in Dagestan, as well as the USSR’s invasion of Afghanistan, and don’t forget China’s genocide of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang.

Another irony is that the same liberal women who believe they have the right to kill a baby because “my body, my rules” are protesting in favor of a system where they would have no rights at all. Additionally, Muslims are also against abortion, which is illegal in many Muslim countries. Even the way that many of the female protesters are dressed, or the fact that they are outside without a male member of their family, would land them in sharia jail in some Muslim countries. And of course, protesting against the government would be prohibited in those countries as well.

China didn’t mastermind every strife and debate in America; however, Beijing is watching closely. It utilizes social media and other forms of influence to latch onto, promote, or amplify those issues that work best for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

As for the Middle East, Beijing has normalized relations with the PLO. They are poised to recognize whatever government emerges in Gaza, and at this point, it suits Beijing to align with Iran and just have Israel and the US out of the way. By undermining the US, weakening our people and our unity, by encouraging us to fight amongst ourselves, Beijing is getting the heavy lifting out of the way before the shooting starts.

But if the propaganda campaigns are successful, and it certainly seems that they will be, indoctrinated Americans, Europeans, and Canadians will give Beijing everything they want, without a shot being fired.

Can’t Make This Up: Emergency Slide Falls Off Boeing Plane, Discovered Outside Home of Lawyer Whose Firm Is Suing Boeing

An emergency slide that fell off a Boeing 767 passenger aircraft shortly after taking flight last week was discovered two days later outside the home of a lawyer whose firm is currently suing Boeing over manufacturing safety issues.

Attorney Jake Bissell-Linsk, whose firm is currently suing Boeing due to one of its planes losing a door plug during a flight in January, discovered the emergency slide from Delta Airlines Flight 520 washed ashore on some rocks outside his oceanfront home in New York City.

In a statement to the New York Post, Bissel-Linsk shared, “I didn’t want to touch it, but I got close enough to get a close look at it.”

Shortly after Bissell-Linsk made the discovery, a crew of Delta workers were called out to remove the emergency slide from the rocks.

Bissell-Linsk is a partner at Labaton Keller Sucharow, which has filed a suit against Boeing, alleging the plane manufacturing company made false statements about safety on Alaska Airlines flight 1282 after its door plug blew out.

Per Huff Post:

An emergency slide that fell off of a Delta passenger jet shortly after take-off last week reportedly turned up two days later outside the home of a lawyer whose firm is coincidently suing the Boeing plane manufacturer over safety issues.

Jake Bissell-Linsk, whose firm filed suit against Boeing after one of its planes lost a door plug mid-air back in January, said he discovered the deflated slide washed up outside his oceanfront home near New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on Sunday.

“I didn’t want to touch it but I got close enough to get a close look at it,” he told The New York Post of the bizarre discovery along the shore of Belle Harbor, Queens.

Photos taken by Katie McFadden, managing editor of the local weekly Rockaway Times newspaper, show the yellow and gray slide material flopped upon some rocks before it was carried away by workers. Bissell-Linsk told the Post that it took about 10 minutes for them to haul it away.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the FAA temporarily ordered Boeing 737 Max jets to be grounded after the door plug blew out on Alaska Airlines Flight 1282.

Handlers Surround Joe Biden to Hide His Stiffened Gait as He Shuffles Across South Lawn (VIDEO)

Joe Biden on Tuesday departed the White House en route to Delaware for a closed-door campaign event.

This is after Biden hid from the public all day Sunday and Monday.

A giant entourage of aides and staffers surrounded Joe Biden as he shuffled across the South Lawn amid reports he can no longer walk solo.

The White House introduced a ‘special routine’ for when Joe Biden departs and returns to the White House on Marine One.

According to a report from Axios, Biden’s advisors are concerned that his stiffened gait is highlighting his old age and feeble state.

Biden’s aides rushed to hide his stiffened gait as he shuffled across the South Lawn. They also acted as human shields to prevent Biden from answering any questions from the press.

WATCH: Hamas Supporter Gets Triggered and Shuts Down Interview When Confronted with Facts by Fox News Reporter

Screenshot: Fox News

Fox News correspondent Lawrence Jones interviewed an anti-Israel protester on live television, resulting in an exchange that ended abruptly when the protester could not respond to factual challenges.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the ‘Islamo-Communist revolution’ occurring on college campuses advanced further overnight with the takeover of Hamilton Hall at Columbia University in New York City.

Dozens of Hamas supporters, who have been staging an ‘occupy’ protest against Israel and the United States, smashed windows and stormed the building, apparently unimpeded by law enforcement, while hundreds more gathered outside to secure the entrances.

“We Will Honor All the Martyrs” – Hamas Supporters at Columbia University Smash Windows, Take Control of Hamilton Hall in Overnight Attack (Video)

During a live broadcast, Fox News correspondent Lawrence Jones encountered a protester just outside the university premises, initiating a dialogue that would soon reveal the tension between facts and narrative.

Here is the dialogue with corrected punctuation:

Lawrence Jones: “What do you feel about them taking over the building right now?”

Protester: “I think that their cause is a just cause, and I hope that the administration really hears their demands. I think they’re just demands.”

Lawrence Jones: “Do you feel like it was right to hold three of the janitor workers hostage inside of the building?”

Protester: “I think that’s a really false narrative.”

Lawrence Jones: “That’s what the janitors are saying, that they weren’t allowed to leave.”

Protester: “I think that that’s a really false narrative.”

Lawrence Jones: “Even if the janitors are saying that, you’re saying that that’s not true.”

Protester: “I think that it’s a really false narrative that the students took anyone hostage.”

Fox News reported that facility workers at Columbia University were held hostage by anti-Israel protesters after a group of anarchists entered an academic building on the campus and barricaded the doors.

Despite the protester’s insistence on dismissing these claims, Lawrence pressed on with questions regarding the safety of Jewish students on campus.

Lawrence Jones: “How do you feel about some of the Jewish students saying that they don’t feel safe here on campus?”

Protester: “I think that this is also a really false narrative that’s being promoted.”

The protester became visibly agitated when Lawrence mentioned specific incidents that occurred on October 7th, including serious allegations of assault.

Lawrence Jones: “Do you think October 7th, the fact that happened, is a false narrative? Do you believe that some of the women were raped?”

Protester: “My colleague just came back.”

Lawrence Jones: “This is what happened.”

Protester: “Can you get out of my face, please?”

Jones later described to the studio anchors the typical pattern observed at these protests, noting, “This is what you see at these protests. Once you get into the nitty-gritty of what happened on October the seventh, they deny what happened.”

Lawrence Jones later relayed to Fox News anchors that these denials are part of a broader pattern of rejection of documented events, even those verified by independent investigations and UN reports.

This pattern, according to Jones, represents a troubling trend of disbelief and denial among American supporters of the movement, distancing them from the reality of the situations being protested and from broader public discourse.

The short interview revealed a typical pattern observed in leftist behavior.

It showed a common reaction among many leftists when faced with facts that contradict their beliefs. Instead of engaging in reasoned debate and civil discourse, they often resort to denial, refuse to engage, or worse, intimidate and slander you.

Pro-Gaza Protesters Vandalize GW University Campus, Desecrate George Washington Statue with Anti-American Graffiti – VIDEO

Far-left pro-Gaza radicals desecrate and vandalize the George Washington Statue at GW University in Washington, DC

Young radical leftists vandalized the George Washington statue at George Washington University in Washington DC on Monday.

The historic campus is nestled between the White House, the Kennedy Center, and a number of federal and international agencies.

Clay Travis posted this video. Notice the writing on the base of the statue.

These people HATE the Jews and HATE America.

FOX News reporter Griff Jenkins ran a live report from GW quad, where the protests were taking place.

Vigilant News reported:

Protesters at George Washington University in D.C. have defaced their own campus and vandalized the statue of the school’s namesake and America’s founder, George Washington.

Fox News sent a camera crew to the campus to document the damage caused by recent ‘pro-Palestine’ protests over the past few days.

A reporter walked through the encampment, expressing shock at the extent of the damage and the disregard for the campus’s historical significance.

“The signature statue here, George Washington himself, has been draped in a Palestine flag and also the kaffiyeh, which is a traditional headdress, a black and white headdress that’s worn by Palestinians.”

As the reporter approached the monument, it became clear that the vandals had done more than just drape the flag.

“This is George Washington, the statue here. Graffitied, covered in stickers.”

“Genocidal”

“Warmonger”

George Washington University was founded in 1821 through an Act of Congress signed by then-President James Monroe. The university was named after George Washington, who had advocated for a national university in the U.S. to educate future leaders of the country.

Radical far-left New York Judge Juan Merchan on Tuesday fined President Trump $9,000 for speaking out in his own defense and violating his gag order in the ongoing lawfare trial in New York City.

Merchan also threatened President Trump with jail if he continued to publicly defend himself in the case.

The judge gave Trump ‘permission’ to attend his son Barron’s high school graduation ceremony on May 17 in Palm Beach, Florida.

“The judge presiding over the NY v. Trump trial in Manhattan granted former President Trump permission on Tuesday to attend his son’s high school graduation in Florida next month.” Fox News reported. “I don’t think the May 17 date is a problem,” Judge Juan Merchan told the court Tuesday morning of Barron Trump’s graduation date.

After refusing to recuse himself, Judge Juan Merchan earlier this month threatened to put President Trump in jail if he didn’t show up for trial.

Earlier this month President Trump asked the judge if he could skip the trial to attend his son Barron’s graduation.

Judge Merchan said that the decision “really depends on if we are on time and where we are in the trial.”

After major backlash the judge gave Trump ‘permission’ to attend his own son’s high school graduation.

“Constitutionally Protected Coverage” Fox News Refuses to Back Down After Hunter Biden Threatens ‘Revenge Porn’ Defamation Suit

Fox News on Tuesday hit back after Hunter Biden threatened a ‘revenge porn’ defamation suit.

Hunter Biden launched a war against Fox News with a defamation lawsuit.

“Hunter Biden’s legal team wrote that they anticipate “imminent” litigation against Fox News and requested that prominent Fox News hosts, including Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters and Maria Bartiromo, preserve documentation.” Axios reported.

The lawsuit alleges “conspiracy and subsequent actions to defame Mr. Biden and paint him in a false light, the unlicensed commercial exploitation of his image, name, and likeness, and the unlawful publication of hacked intimate images of him.”

Hunter’s attorneys demanded Fox News remove the “intimate images of Mr. Biden depicting him in the nude as well as engaged in sex acts,” from all of their platforms claiming the images were “hacked, stolen, and/or manipulated digital material.”

The images from Hunter’s laptop from hell were not hacked or stolen. He abandoned his laptop at a Delaware computer repair shop.

Fox News called its reporting on Hunter Biden and the salacious contents from his laptop from hell “Constitutionally protected coverage.”

Per CNN: In response to the lawsuit threats, a Fox News Media spokesperson defended the network’s “constitutionally protected coverage” of Hunter Biden, a “public figure who has been the subject of investigations by both the Department of Justice and Congress.”

“Consistent with the First Amendment, Fox News has accurately covered these highly publicized events as well as the subsequent indictment of an FBI informant who was the source of certain claims made about Mr. Biden,” the spokesperson said in the statement, CNN reported.

There’s more!

Hunter Biden’s lawyers attacked Fox News for reporting on the Joe Biden-Burisma-Ukraine-bribery allegations.

Joe Biden’s DOJ indicted FBI informant Alexander Smirnov on charges he made false statements to the feds.

Hunter’s lawyers are now claiming Fox News should retract its reporting on the indicted FBI informant’s claims Joe Biden bribed Burisma’s owner and Ukrainian oligarch Mykola Zlovchesky.
