Texas Mother Charged With Buying 13-Year-Old Son Ammo and Tactical Gear for Planned School Shooting

A San Antonio, Texas mother was arrested this week for allegedly helping her troubled 13-year-old son with a planned school shooting by buying him ammunition, magazines and tactical gear. Her son was also arrested. The boy had been suspended in April and was allowed back in class just last week after having been caught researching mass shootings.

Ashley Pardo, Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.

Ashley Pardo, 33, was arrested Monday on charges of aiding in commission of terrorism by allegedly buying weaponry for her son, knowing that he was fixated on shooting up his middle school. The son, whose name has not been released, was arrested and charged with terrorism Monday after showing up at school “wearing a mask, camouflage jacket and tactical pants” before leaving, sparking a police response and security sweep. He was found and arrested away from the school. It has not been revealed by police whether or not he was armed.

Ashley Pardo is out on $75,000 bond with a July 17 court appearance, while her son is being held in custody.

CBS News reported the mother bought her son the weaponry for babysitting his younger siblings (excerpt):

A Texas mother was arrested this week on allegations she purchased ammunition and tactical gear for her son, who authorities said was planning “mass targeted violence” at a San Antonio school, according to an affidavit obtained by CBS News.

Ashley Pardo, 33, was arrested Monday on one count of aiding in the commission of terrorism after tactical gear and ammunition were found at her home, which authorities said she purchased for her son in exchange for babysitting his younger siblings, according to the arrest affidavit issued by Bexar County Magistrate Court.

Pardo “intentionally and knowingly aided” her son, San Antonio police wrote in the affidavit.

Jeremiah Rhodes Middle School in San Antonio posted a copy of a letter to parents about the arrest of the student:

KSAT-TV reported another family member tipped off police last Sunday (excerpt):

On Sunday, a day before, a family member contacted SAPD about items found in the possession of Pardo‘s son, including a rifle and pistol ammunition, black tactical gear and an improvised explosive device made from a mortar-style firework.

The family member also stated they found three loaded magazines and a note that had several names of mass shooters written on it. Some of the items were inscribed with “14 words” and “SS” symbols – references to white supremacy language and previous mass shootings, detectives said.

Pardo had previously been approached about her son’s behavior by local law enforcement, child protective services and school officials, police said.

Pardo “expressed to the school her support of (her son’s) violent expressions and drawings and does not feel concerned for his behavior,” the affidavit states.

In January, the school became aware of drawings made by Pardo‘s son that featured the school’s name written beside a rifle and a map of the campus labeled “suicide route,” according to authorities. There were timestamps written on the drawing.

Pardo‘s son was suspended in April after it was discovered he was researching the 2019 Christchurch mosque shooting on a school-issued computer. He had “described a fascination with past mass shooters,” the affidavit states.

The student attended an alternative school until he returned to Jeremiah Rhodes Middle School on May 8. At that point, school officials implemented a safety plan in fear of potential violence.

More from KTSA-TV (excerpt):

In May, the child was back on campus, and Chief McManus says he was found to be hitting a live bullet with a hammer. This was reported to police by a relative who also said Pardo had purchased the bullet.

It is unclear if the child, whose name is not being released due to his age, was armed when he went to school Monday. He remains in custody at the Bexar County Juvenile Detention Center.

Chief McManus says this is the first time someone has been charged with terrorism in Bexar County.

BREAKING: James Comey Appears to Call For the Assassination of President Trump in Social Media Post – White House Responds

Trump, Comey

Did former FBI Director James Comey call for the assassination of President Trump?

James Comey posted a cryptic message to his Instagram account on Thursday spelled out in seashells: “86 47”

“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in his caption.

It is no secret that James Comey despises President Trump.

Comey was fired as FBI Director by Trump in 2017 while he was leading an investigation into the president during his first term.

Shortly after the firing, it was revealed that James Comey penned several memos stemming from nine confidential conversations he had with President Trump.

Comey admitted during a Congressional hearing that he gave portions of his memos to a friend (Daniel Richman) to leak to the New York Times in order to prompt a special counsel investigation into President Trump for obstruction of justice.

Within 24 hours of the memo leak to the New York Times, Mueller was appointed as special counsel on May 17th, 2017

Comey gave former special counsel Robert Mueller the memos and was a witness in the Mueller inquisition.

James Comey also declared that Trump was “morally unfit to be president” and claimed there was “certainly some evidence of obstruction of justice” by the President — all the while Comey was a witness in Mueller’s investigation.

Update: The White House responded to Comey’s social media post calling it “what can clearly be interpreted as ‘a hit’ on the sitting President of the United States.”

“This is deeply concerning to all of us and is being taken seriously.”

The FBI is also aware of Comey’s Instagram post.

While President Trump is currently on an international trip to the Middle East, the former FBI Director puts out what can clearly be interpreted as “a hit” on the sitting President of the United States—a message etched in the sand.

FBI Shuts Down ‘Corruption Squad’ That Backed Jack Smith’s Witch Hunt Against President Trump

On August 1, 2023, Jack Smith announced four charges against former President Donald Trump as part of his investigation into the 2020 election.

The FBI on Thursday closed down the ‘corruption squad’ that backed Jack Smith’s witch hunt against President Trump.

The unit dubbed “CR15” was involved in the FBI’s “Arctic Frost” investigation.

According to the documents released earlier this year, the FBI and DOJ weaponized their power to target President Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their allies through a probe dubbed “Arctic Frost.”

“Operation Arctic Frost” was a taxpayer-funded witch hunt launched in April 2022 that seized government-issued cell phones belonging to Trump and Pence while conducting a barrage of interviews across the country.

The FBI did not require a warrant to take possession of government phones from the Biden White House. However, after securing the devices, agents began preparing a search warrant to access their data, sources familiar with the investigation told Fox News.

Jack Smith indicted President Trump on more than 45 charges in two separate investigations. The charges were ultimately dropped after President Trump won the 2024 election.

According to NBC News, FBI agents involved in the corruption squad will be reassigned.

NBC News reported:

The FBI’s Washington Field Office is folding its federal public corruption squad, the same unit that aided Jack Smith’s special counsel investigation into President Donald Trump, three people familiar with the matter tell NBC News.

The field office has three units that work on public corruption issues, but this one — known internally as “CR15” — was deeply involved in the bureau’s “Arctic Frost” investigation, which was the precursor to the Smith probe into efforts to overturn the 2020 election results by Trump and his allies. That investigation resulted in one of the two federal criminal cases against Trump, both of which were dropped after his election.

FBI special agents assigned to the squad will be reassigned. A FBI official said the change was part of a broader reorganization at the Washington Field Office and that there would be additional changes to come — and that public corruption cases would still be pursued.

California Couple Arrested for Driving into Oncoming Traffic, Attempting to Ram ICE Agents During Immigration Warrant Operation

A couple in Los Angeles, California, were arrested by federal agents on Wednesday for driving into oncoming traffic in an attempt to ram Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers who were executing arrest warrants on several residences containing illegal aliens.

Gustavo Torres, 28, and Kiara Jaime-Flores, 34, have been charged with conspiracy to impede or injure officers.

“These defendants are charged with knowingly and recklessly putting federal agents’ lives in danger,” said United States Attorney Bill Essayli. “Anyone who deliberately gets in the way of immigration officers doing their job will face criminal prosecution and the prospect of doing time in a federal prison cell.”

The incident occurred on February 28, while Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and United States Border Patrol agents were executing four search warrants at separate residences in Los Angeles. As they were working, a hostile crowd gathered and began shouting at the officers, who eventually drove off.

“At the intersection of 61st Street and Broadway in South Los Angeles, Torres and Flores – driving a Honda Fit – allegedly pulled in front of one of the government vehicles and blocked its pathway at the intersection,” the Department of Justice said in a press release.

“The defendants also drove westbound on 61st Street in an opposing lane, passing another two government vehicles. The defendants allegedly pulled in front of one of the vehicles and slammed on the brakes, which the agents believed was an attempt to cause a collision.”

The DOJ explained that the couple “aggressively” followed one of the vehicles for two miles and attempted to cross multiple lanes of traffic to stay on their tail.

Torres and Flores will each face a maximum sentence of six years in federal prison if convicted.

Dr. Sebastian Gorka Completely OBLITERATES Woke Politico ‘Reporter’ Live on Stage When She Runs Cover for Illegal Alien Gangsters (VIDEO)

Credit: Politico Live Screenshot

Dr. Sebastian Gorka, the Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counter Terrorism, completely destroyed a ‘reporter’ from far-left Politico live on stage after she tried to gaslight the audience regarding the brutal truth about violent criminals like MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia while ignoring actual victims.

Gorka was being interviewed on Thursday as part of the outlet’s “security summit.” He said he only agreed to participate because a friend asked as a favor.

Interviewer Dasha Burns, Politico’s White House Bureau Chief, ostensibly wanted to interview Gorka about Trump’s recent foreign policy moves. But she immediately sought to “fact-check” Gorka when he correctly asserted the Trump Administration officials had successfully and lawfully removed several gang members, such as Abrego Garcia.

“How do you know that they are members of these gangs?” Burns asked.

“You mean the tattoos of MS-13 don’t help?” Gorka retorted.

“Um, uh…” Burns stammered in response.

“Do you have tattoos of Al Qaeda?” Gorka fired back.

“The tattoos of (Abrego Garcia) did not say MS-13, so I don’t want to get into that,” a chuckling Burns replied.

Upon hearing Burns’s snarky response, Gorka went nuclear.

“Oh, it’s just an accident that the four symbols (on Garcia’s hands) represent MS-13,” Gorka sarcastically replied.

“This is why Politico is a joke,” he continued while Burns stuttered. “This is why you’re gutter-press and fake news!”

“That these four symbols just happened to comport with the letters MS and the number 13…You’re sitting here live, defending a member of MS-13!”

WATCH:

ROASTED@SebGorka just eviscerated POLITICO on their own stage.

“This is why POLITICO is a JOKE! This is why you’re gutter-press and fake news!”

“You’re sitting here, live, defending a member of MS-13!”

“This isn’t journalism. This is protecting those who hate America.… pic.twitter.com/PMeoPAl0FA

— Townhall.com (@townhallcom) May 15, 2025

“That’s why I regret coming here,” Gorka went on to say. “Because this isn’t journalism. This is protecting those who hate America!”

“Shame on you! We are saving lives!”

Burns then tried to interrupt Gorka, but he immediately shut her down. He proceeded to outline a glaring double standard that laid bare Politico’s anti-American and pro-illegal agenda.

‘How about Maryland fathers compared to Maryland mothers?” Gorka demanded. “Like Rachel Morin, mother of five, r*ped and murdered and thrown in a ditch?

“How about Jocelyn Nungaray, age 12, r*ped a mile from her home and thrown in a ditch?” It’s strange that Politico doesn’t do stories about her.

“Why is the MS-13 guy with the knuckle tattoos more important in terms of due process than the lives of 12-year-old girls BRUTALLY r*ped?”

Gorka went on to relay a story Texas GOP Congressman Dan Crenshaw told him about the horrific ordeal of a 16-year-old girl smuggled into America. The girl ended up locked in a room in New York, r*ped by more than a dozen men every day for 18 months before she escaped.

Gorka then turned back to Burns and asked another damning question.

“It’s strange that Politico doesn’t cover these stories. Can you tell me why?”

Burns started to lie in response before Gorka smacked her down one last time.

“No, you have not covered those stories,” he fired back. “I’d like to see the Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin stories in comparison to the Russia Russia collusion garbage.”

“I mean, let’s be honest here. You have an agenda!”

Starmer Pivots Right on Immigration, Plans for ‘Return Hubs’ to Stash Illegal Migrants Outside of the UK – Update: PM Snubbed as Albania Rejects Taking Asylum Seekers

British PM and Labour Leader Keir Starmer: sharp turn right on immigration.

The sharp turn right that leftist British PM Keir Starmer is taking on his immigration policies may be surprising many, but here in TGP we have reported how, on September 2024, mere 3 months into his premiership, Starmer was already moving in this direction: British Premier Starmer Goes to Italy To Learn From PM Meloni How To Stop Migrant Boats From Reaching European Shores.

His new immigration policies include extending the residency requirement for citizenship from five to ten years, demanding stricter English language proficiency for all visa applicants, banning overseas recruitment of care workers, tightening visa rules, expanding Home Office powers to revoke visas and deport individuals for a broader range of crimes… the list goes on.

Now, he went for the most un-liberal policy of all: developing ‘return hubs’ for failed asylum seekers as a response to the growing migration nightmare.

Yes, you read it right – just like the Tory ‘Rwanda’ plans that he scrapped.

GB News reported:

“The Prime Minister outlined how these hubs would help process individuals who have exhausted all appeals in the UK system and need to be returned to their countries of origin.

The announcement comes after his Government scrapped the Rwanda scheme that the Tory government failed to enforce.”

Migration nightmare has forced Starmer to pivot right on the issue.

Starmer is reportedly in Albania – who partnered with Italy’s Giorgia Meloni for the same ‘return hubs’ plans – to learn to tackle what Starmer described as a ‘vile trade’ of human traffickers in the English Channel.

“The Prime Minister explained: ‘Now what we want to do, and are having discussions and talks of, is return hubs. These would be used when someone has been through the system in the UK and needs to be returned’.

‘We have to make sure those returns are carried out effectively, and we’ll do that, if possible, through return hubs. That’s what the talks are focused on. I would say that in this area, no single measure is going to be, if you like, a silver bullet. It will allow us to bear down on this vile trade and help stop people from crossing the Channel’.”

The pressure is on Starmer since data shows more than 12,000 people have crossed the Channel in small boats since the start of the year, and after anti-immigration Reform UK humiliated both Labour and Tories in the local elections.

Prime Minister fails to enrol Albanian cooperation with ‘failed asylum seekers’

In a rapid succession of events, while we were putting this report together it arose that Starmer has been ‘snubbed’ by Albania, because reelected prime minister Edi Rama has ruled out allowing Britain to send ‘failed asylum seekers’ to camps – or ‘hubs’ – in his country.

The Telegraph reported:

“On his first visit to Albania, the Prime Minister announced that the UK would begin talks with other countries to host ‘return hubs’ where failed asylum seekers could be sent once they had exhausted all avenues of appeal.

The announcement prompted criticism over its similarities to the Conservatives’ Rwanda deportation scheme that was abandoned by Labour.”

Albanian PM Edi Rama, with Italian PM Giorgia Meloni.

Albania hosts two Italian migration centers for migrants from Italy. But Rama publicly rejected the proposal.

“’I have been very clear since day one when we started this process with Italy that this was a one-off with Italy because of our very close relation but also because of the geographical situation, which makes a lot of sense. We have been asked by several countries if we are open to it and we said no because we are loyal to the marriage with Italy’.”

Sinaloa Cartel Leaders Charged with Narco-Terrorism, Material Support of Terrorism, and Drug Trafficking

An indictment unsealed on Tuesday revealed that alleged leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel have been charged with narco-terrorism, drug trafficking, and material support of terrorism.

The first of its kind indictment is over the cartel’s trafficking of “massive amounts of fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin into the United States,” according to a press release from Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“The Sinaloa Cartel is a complex, dangerous terrorist organization and dismantling them demands a novel, powerful legal response,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Their days of brutalizing the American people without consequence are over — we will seek life in prison for these terrorists.”

According to ICE, “Pedro Inzunza Noriega and his son, Pedro Inzunza Coronel, are charged with narco-terrorism, drug trafficking and money laundering as key leaders of the Beltran Leyva Organization, a powerful and violent faction of the Sinaloa Cartel that is believed to be the world’s largest known fentanyl production network. Five other BLO leaders are charged with drug trafficking and money laundering. The indictment is a direct result of President Trump’s Executive Order 14157 which designated the Sinaloa Cartel as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and the Secretary of State’s subsequent designation of the same on February 20, 2025.”

The Beltran Leyva faction of the cartel is one of the most violent drug trafficking organizations in Mexico. ICE explained that they engage in “shootouts, murders, kidnappings, torture and violent collection of drug debts to sustain its operations.” They control large territories in Mexico, including Tiajuana.

Noriega and his son are accused of “aggressively” trafficking fentanyl into the United States, leading one of the “largest and most sophisticated” production networks of the drug in the world. They are accused of bringing tens of thousands of kilograms of the deadly drug across the border.

In December, Mexican law enforcement raided multiple locations run by duo and seized over 1.65 tons of fentanyl. It was the largest seizure of the drug in history.

ICE and the FBI are working together on the case.

“These charges highlight the unwavering efforts of transnational criminal organizations like the Sinaloa Cartel to flood our communities with deadly drugs,” said ICE Homeland Security Investigations San Diego Special Agent in Charge Shawn Gibson. “HSI and our law enforcement partners will not allow cartel-driven drug trafficking to threaten the safety and stability of our neighborhoods. We are all lasered focused on a unified effort to dismantling these networks and their factions in bringing those responsible to justice.”

Trump: Iran ‘Sort of Agreed’ to Nuclear Deal Terms

President Donald Trump said Thursday that Iran has “sort of agreed” to the terms of a nuclear deal with the U.S.

“I think we’re getting close to maybe doing a deal without having to do this,” Trump said, alluding to U.S. military action. “You probably read today the story about Iran. It’s sort of agreed to the terms.” The president’s comments came during a visit to Doha.

The president seemed to be referring to an article published Wednesday by NBC News. Ali Shamkhani, a senior advisor to Iran’s supreme leader, told the network that Tehran, in exchange for sanctions relief, would relinquish its stockpiles of highly enriched uranium, limit enrichment activities to what’s needed for civilian nuclear energy, permit international inspections, and vow to never build nuclear weapons.

Shamkhani, referring to the influence on negotiations of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said, “If the Americans remove the Bibi effect, they can easily sign the deal.” 

Trump posted the article on Truth Social on Thursday.

Axios reported early Thursday that on Sunday the White House, for the first time, issued a written proposal for a deal, which Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi took back to Tehran. Mediators have urged Araghchi to accept a three-year pause on Iran’s uranium enrichment, according to the Guardian.

Trump, in his comments in Doha, seemed to say that the U.S. wasn’t demanding that Tehran dismantle its entire nuclear energy infrastructure but only that it never build the bomb. The White House has sent mixed signals about its diplomatic demands since nuclear talks began in early April. 

“They can’t have a nuclear weapon,” Trump said. “That’s the only thing.”
