Crimo allegedly used a ladder to climb onto a roof along the parade route and squeezed off 70 rounds into the crowd marching down the street before discarding the gun atop the building in order to avoid suspicion, according to authorities. His disguise, captured on video camera, may have included a wig, according to Covelli.

"You don’t want to do this. I work for the mayor," he told the two crooks. But in a show of utter contempt, they ignored the warning, with one man lifting his shirt to display the butt of a pistol tucked into his pants, the source said.

Texas Supreme Court blocks ruling that said abortions could resume --The U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24 | 2 July 2022 | The Texas Supreme Court on Friday blocked a lower court order that permitted some abortions.

Greg Abbott, prevented abortions past the sixth week of pregnancy. Abortion service providers throughout Texas were then forced to cancel abortion operations and alert those who had appointments for an abortion that they were unable to provide the service.

The court's 6-3 ruling on a case sparked by Texas and 16 other states -- which addressed an Obama-era regulation aimed at coal-fired power plants, one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the nation -- was a blow to Joe Biden's plan to reduce U.S. emissions and meet the country's goals under international agreements hasten the arrival of the Great Reset. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was among 17 Republican state attorneys general who sued the EPA over an Obama-era regulation known as the Clean Power Plan, which never went into effect. It was repealed and replaced by what was called the Affordable Clean Energy rule under the Trump administration.

Courts will find it difficult to uphold the firearms laws in question after the high court's June 30 and June 23 rulings. In unsigned orders, all four cases were remanded June 30 to lower courts "for further consideration in light of" the Supreme Court's June 23 decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen. In that 6–3 ruling, the high court invalidated New York state’s tough concealed-carry gun permitting system.

New York City Mayor Says He Will Mandate COVID Vaccines for Children This Fall | 1 July 2022 | New York City has famously handled COVID as poorly as any city on earth. From the initial surge and horrific death rates due in part to sending COVID positive patients back into nursing homes to infect other elderly residents, to masking toddlers, to private business vaccine mandates and discriminatory vaccine passports, New York has been a leading example of what not to do. While former mayor Bill de Blasio was responsible for many of the city's terrible policies, current mayor Eric Adams has made a concerted effort to double down and make them even worse. During a recent press conference, Adams explained that he’ll be making one of his most indefensible decisions yet: mandating the COVID vaccines for children. Adams said in response to a question that yes, the vaccines will be mandatory and that he and his team are still "meeting and discussing" and trying to come up with the "best way to do it."

Gov. Hochul unveils list of 'sensitive locations' to ban concealed carry; N.Y. handgun license applicants must turn over a list of their social media accounts | 29 June 2022 | New York lawmakers approved a sweeping overhaul Friday of the state's handgun licensing rules, seeking to preserve some limits on firearms after the Supreme Court ruled that most people have a right to carry a handgun for personal protection. The measure, signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) after passing both chambers by wide margins, is almost sure to draw more legal challenges from gun rights advocates who say the state is still putting too many restrictions on who can get guns and where they can carry them... The state's new rules will require people applying for a handgun license to turn over a list of their social media accounts so officials could verify their "character and conduct." Applicants will have to show they have "the essential character, temperament and judgment necessary to be entrusted with a weapon and to use it only in a manner that does not endanger oneself and others." As part of that assessment, applicants have to turn over a list of social media accounts they've maintained in the past three years.

New J6 Narrative About Trump and Secret Service Collapses Hours After Tuesday Hearing --Blockbuster testimony from former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson collapsed hours after Tuesday's show trial hearing. | 29 June 2022 | On Tuesday, the nine-member Jan. 6 panel brought forward a key aide to former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Cassidy Hutchinson, who supposedly possessed intimate knowledge of the administration's conduct on Jan. 6... Moments after Hutchinson's testimony, NBC's Chief White House Correspondent Peter Alexander reported "a source close to the Secret Service tells me both Bobby Engel, the lead agent, and the presidential limousine/SUV driver are prepared to testify under oath that neither man was assaulted and that Mr. Trump never lunged for the steering wheel." CBS News followed up with "confirmation" of the agency's categorical denial, likely from the same sources. Hours later, another pillar of Hutchinson's testimony fell apart when a spokesman for Former White House lawyer Eric Herschmann told ABC News a handwritten note for which Hutchinson claimed authorship was actually written by Herschmann.

Jim Banks Demands White House Surveillance Logs to Vet Contested J6 Testimony --Days after a centerpiece of Hutchinson's testimony fell apart, more claims are beginning to fail the credibility test under closer scrutiny. | 1 July 2022 | Indiana Republican Congressman Jim Banks is demanding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) disclose White House surveillance records to lawmakers in their investigation of blockbuster claims by the Jan. 6 Committee's latest star witness. On Tuesday, a top aide to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Cassidy Hutchinson, offered sensational revelations in public testimony before the nine-member House panel depicting a president in rage as supporters ransacked congressional chambers... Hours later, Hutchinson's sources disputed the graphic events in question and told news outlets they were prepared to offer on-the-record denials under oath. Days after a centerpiece of Hutchinson's uncorroborated testimony fell apart, more claims are beginning to fail the credibility test under closer scrutiny.

Drug Cartel: Biden Admin agrees to pay Pfizer 56% more for their COVID shots --The pharma giant is already shattering profit records, and is expected to generate well over $100 billion in 2022 revenue. By Jordan Schachtel | 30 June 2022 | Pfizer is already swimming in record profits, but that hasn't stopped the drug company from gouging the American taxpayer for every last dollar. On Wednesday, the Biden Administration signed off on a new vaccine supply deal with Pfizer for $3.2 billion for 105 million COVID injections, but that's only for the first batch of mRNA shots. The contract will generate well over $9 billion for Pfizer, as this latest purchase agreement tops off at 300 million doses. Compared to previous settlements with Pfizer, this public-private no-bid arrangement will come at a much higher cost to the U.S. taxpayer. The Biden Administration has justified the deal by claiming that it needs to restock supply to prepare for seasonal spikes. The data does not support such a claim. According to the CDC, almost 100 million taxpayer-funded Pfizer shots (and 169 million total shots) have gone unused, resulting in billions of dollars in waste.

How Did a Zuckerberg Stooge Win a GOP Primary in Colorado? | 1 July 2022 | The story of the GOP primary race for Secretary of State in Colorado gets more interesting the more you investigate the results... Tina Peters got 61% of the delegates at Colorado's Republican Assembly in April... Pam Anderson did not even attend the Republican assembly. She was so unpopular in the Colorado GOP that she was a write-in candidate who only qualified in April. She had to collect 1,000 valid signatures from registered Republicans in each of the state's eight congressional districts just to get on the ballot. In the 5th Congressional District, Anderson managed only 1,282 valid signatures. Apparently, more than 5,000 of the 17,904 signatures submitted by Anderson were not valid... So how did Pam Anderson suddenly pull off a miraculous 35 point swing on Primary Day two months later with no money and no endorsements? The only advantage that Pam Anderson had in this race: she's on the Board of Directors for Mark Zuckerberg's private election mafia, the "Center For Tech And Civic Life." One more thing: Colorado uses Dominion Voting Machines.

'First-Year Law Student' Could Have Discredited Hutchinson - Megyn Kelly | 30 June 2022 | Legal experts have rejected the House Jan. 6 Select Committee hearings for lacking balance or cross-examination, but Megyn Kelly took it to another level in her rebuke, saying even a "first-year law student" could have discredited Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony. "A first-year law student could have driven a truck through the holes in that testimonial," Kelly, who has a Juris Doctorate legal degree, said Thursday on The Megyn Kelly Show. "Unfortunately, none was present [Tuesday], never mind a full-fledged lawyer presenting Donald Trump's defense or even just pressing the witness on certain problems with her testimony." Kelly punched holes in Hutchinson's Tuesday hearing claims, noting she was presenting hearsay of what she "overheard" and being "in the vicinity of a conversation," repeatedly saying to the committee she heard "something to the effect of." "Her memory appeared to be rather shaky," Kelly continued.
