White teenage school shooter murders three children and one teacher in Bend The community of Bend, Oregon, is in mourning following a school shooting at the Silver Rail Elementary School. Police say three children, ages 5, 8, and 11, and a teacher were fatally shot by a white 16-year-old resident of the town who used a long rifle shotgun to blast his way through the school’s locked doors. A 7-year-old student was also critically injured along with a teacher. The suspected shooter was reportedly fatally shot to death by a father of a student at the school described as "an armed member of the community" who pursued the boy into the school.

More gunships will Make Israel Great Again
US approves sale of helicopter gunships for Israel's genocide and war crime attacks on helpless Gaza [for more efficient ethnic cleansing] Israeli strikes on Gaza killed four Palestinians and left nine others hospitalized Thursday, say Palestinian health officials. Gaza City resident Mahmoud al-Naqla says he narrowly escaped with his life after militant IDF Israelis gave him less than 10 minutes to evacuate his home before bombing his entire neighborhood.
White neo-Nazi supremacist teenager alleged to have attempted mass shooting at Illinois Hindu Temple, but rifle jammed In suburban Chicago, a self-described "neo-Nazi teenager" has been arrested for allegedly planning to carry out a mass shooting at the largest Hindu temple in Aurora, Illinois. Police say 19-year Alexandros Paporakis visited the holy site on Sunday, but his AR-15 rifle jammed. Authorities were alerted by one of the teenager’s co-workers at Taco Bell. At his mother’s house, police found a rifle, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, tactical gear, and a "manifesto" in which the teenager described himself as a “sociopathic white supremacist Neo Nazi filled with hatred, fantasizing about mass murder nearly every day.” He has been charged with making a terrorist threat and illegal gun possession and faces a stern warning from a judge to behave from now on and leave these sorts of shooting to local authorities and officers.
King Trump cancels Sec'y of War Pete Hegseth’s plans to live-stream firing squad execution of man in wheelchair dead live at Fort Hood The reigning monarch has called off his Dept. of War leader Hegseth’s plan to livestream a state-sanctioned execution murder of Nidal Hasan, the former U.S. Army major who is said to have killed 13 people at Fort Hood in Texas in 2009. Major Hasan is scheduled to be shot to death on Dec. 3, 2026. In a statement, Trump said livestreaming such executions “might have been a strong deterrent for the world,” but he acknowledged many people would rather not watch Major Hasan being slaughtered by the state. Last week, the U.N. Human Rights Office warned that livestreaming such executions amounts to a "public execution" that violates the international prohibition on torture.

Why so many American Jews are turning away from Israel | On the Ground
Fact: U.N. decision on Israel's genocide in Gaza
(The Guardian) NEW YORK, the most Jewish city in the USA. For generations, support for the criminal ethno-"State" of Israel [without a ratified constitution because Jews, even after 75 years of their own homemade "Holocaust," called the Nakba or Catastrophe by their victims, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and active genocide remain a minority] was central to Jewish-American identity. But today, amid confirmed accusations that Israel is perpetrating a genocide in Gaza and the West Bank of Palestine, a growing generational and political divide is reshaping views in the U.S. Jewish community.

Trump’s threatening ramble at the UN, his minions defend news ban censorship
CNN Hound dog Kaitlan Collins

Sept. 22, 2026: Dick-tater Trump is now polling at the miserable low of 29%, his decision to ban major networks from covering him in the White House has resulted in him not being on TV, much to his dismay CNN's Kaitlan Collins got invited by the UN to cover him this morning, all of Trump’s minions have been bending over backwards to try to please their master and explain away Don Fuhrer Trump’s decision, his UN speech threatening to annihilate Iran (another war crime on top of his other genocidal promises and terroristic threats) was a rough and threatening ramble, he demonstrated his low intelligence by mispronouncing the names of countries he likes, and the show goes live to the set of Dancing with the Stars to talk to Guillermo and his partner Witney Carson. #Kimmel
Trump's rampant corruption, bribes, Zionism, Iran war crimes, soaring gas prices
In a new biography of Trump's creator, Jewish lawyer Roy Cohn, lead author Kai Bird (who also wrote American Prometheus about Jewish arms manufacturer Oppenheimer, the source material of the eponymous film) looks at how the scheming lawyer taught his apprentice President Don Trump to lie, deny, delay, attack, sue and countersue, never admit defeat or confess to being wrong about anything, sidestep paying any bills, and avoid leaving a paper trail that could be used against you to prosecute you in court. Bird's book with his wife and co-author Susan Goldmark is American Scoundrel. Here he speaks with Fresh Air Host Terry Gross about it. (Ken Tucker also reflects on three of Dolly Parton’s performances that he says demonstrate her range and her unique takes on romance and heartbreak).
Roy Marcus Cohn (Feb. 20, 1927–Aug. 2, 1986) was born into an affluent Ashkenazi Jewish family in the Bronx (NYC) and became a corrupt, hypocritical, American lawyer, a closeted AIDs-stricken homosexual Republican, prosecutor, Mafia enabler, conservative GOP political activist, and the most special friend and mentor Don John Trump ever had.
He first gained notoriety and infamy as the lawyer son-of-a-judge, a prosecutor of fellow Jews Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in their trials (1952–1953) and as Sen. Joseph McCarthy's chief counsel during the Army–McCarthy hearings in 1954. What we now call McCarthyism should really be termed "Cohnism."
I love Jews. I was trained by Roy Cohn.
Cohn pushed for McCarthy's investigations of suspected communists. In the 1970s and 1980s, he became a prominent legal and political "fixer" in New York City [1, 2]. He mentored and represented corrupt landlord and real estate developer Donald J. Trump during the dimwit's early attempts at a business career [3] no longer able to rely on his daddy's handouts and help.
Cohn was born in the Bronx in NYC and educated at Columbia University. He rose to prominence as a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutor at the espionage trial of fellow Jews Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, where he successfully prosecuted them, much as the homosexual Cohn would later pursue, prosecute, and destroy many gay Americans. This led to the Rosenberg's execution in 1953.
After his time as prosecuting chief counsel during the McCarthy trials, his reputation deteriorated during the late 1950s to late 1970s as he settled in NYC and became a private lawyer to many clients, including the Mafia (Italian mobsters, known murderers, organized crime families), real estate magnates, political operatives, and child molesting gay Catholic clergy.
In 1986, Cohn was disbarred by the Appellate Division of the NY State Supreme Court for unethical conduct after attempting to defraud a dying client by forcing him to sign a will amendment leaving his fortune to Cohn [4].
Cohn is the cowardly bully who created "Trump"
Cohn died five weeks later from AIDS and related complications, having all along always vehemently denied that he was gay, HIV-positive [5], or dying of AIDS, claiming instead that he just had liver cancer. Cohn has been the subject of many media portrayals before and since his death.
Creating the Don Trump we all know
You like Roy Cohn, Bibi? - I love him; he's one of us. - What, a Jew? - No, a U.S. Zionist.
In 1971, Don Trump first tried to negotiate large construction projects in Manhattan [72]. By 1973, the Department of Justice accused him of violating the Fair Housing Act at 39 of his properties [73].
The government prosecuted Trump because his corporation quoted different rental terms and conditions and made false "no vacancy" statements to Black applicants for apartments it managed in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island [74].
Sleazy attorney Roy Cohn, representing Trump, filed a baseless countersuit against the government for $100 million (to make a splash in the media), asserting that the charges were "irresponsible and baseless" [73, 75]. This countersuit failed [76], but it served to boost Trump's image and esteem for corrupt Cohn.
Hi, I'm Don. Meet Mini Me, Roy. - No, you're Mini Me, dummy!
So Trump -- as Cohn taught him -- settled the charges out of court in 1975, saying he was satisfied that the agreement did not "compel the Trump organization to accept persons on welfare as tenants unless as qualified as any other tenant" [73].
The Trump corporation was required to send a bi-weekly list of vacancies to the New York Urban League, a civil rights group, and give the league priority for certain locations [74].
He-he, yeah, I did biz with Trump
By 1978, the Trump Organization was again taken to court for violating terms of the 1975 settlement; Cohn called the new charges "nothing more than a rehash of complaints by a couple of planted malcontents." So Trump denied the charges [74, 76, 77], following the Cohn teaching to deny deny deny and delay delay delay, cutting a corrupt deal later rather than going to court.
While representing Trump, Cohn started representing Italian American mobster Anthony Salerno, who along with other Mafia members controlled the concrete unions in New York. Cohn is alleged to have introduced Salerno to Trump, which later led to Salerno's aiding Trump in the construction of Trump Tower by providing concrete at reduced prices [78].
In Trump's ghostwritten 1987 book The Art of the Deal -- which was wholly Cohn's idea and project, asking a favor of a publishing company to create it by someone else to give Trump a boost as a competent businessman, which Trump later parlayed into the TV show The Apprentice.
Trump in writing said, "[of] all the hundreds of 'respectable' guys who made careers out of boasting about their uncompromising integrity but have absolutely no loyalty….What I liked most about Roy Cohn was that he would do just the opposite" [all loyalty and no integrity] [79].
Trump, who was a good student learning from his Jewish mentor, is often described as having abandoned closeted gay hypocrite Cohn once he found out that Cohn was dying of AIDS.
A version of this view of "Roy Trump" (aka "Donald Cohn") is summed up in a remark attributed to Roy Cohn: "Donald pisses ice water."
You gotta support all Zionists no matter what
In the tell-all book American Scoundrel (2026), researchers Kai Bird and Susan Goldmark argue that this is only partly accurate. Citing Chris Seymour, a switchboard operator at Cohn's Manhattan law firm, they write that Trump began to keep his distance and relied on Cohn less as a lawyer, the calls between them becoming fewer, but did not cut his gay best friend off completely.
[After all, if Trump was molesting children with Jewish super-spy and Zionist-asset for Israel Jeffrey Epstein, what would he care if his other Jewish mentor is a flamboyant gay hypocrite dying of AIDS as he outs, prosecutes, and ruins other gays?]
In fact, in March 1986, five months before Cohn's AIDS death, rich Trump hosted a farewell dinner for his beloved mentor Cohn at Mar-a-Lago.
Cohn was indicted three times in six years on various charges in the 1960s by U.S. Attorney for the Southern District Robert Morgenthau. He got himself acquitted on all charges [8].
Cohn and fellow shady attorney Murray Gottesman were indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice in September 1963, alleging that they had obstructed a federal investigation into allegations that Samuel S. Garfield and others defrauded United Dye and Chemical Corporation out of $5 million [51, 52]. On July 17, 1964, Cohn and Gottesman got themselves acquitted of all charges [53].
In January 1969, lawyer Cohn was again indicted for conspiracy, extortion, and blackmail. According to that indictment, Cohn had blackmailed some of the shareholders of Fifth Avenue Coach Lines into selling their shares, which led to the B.S.F. Company (a holding company headed by Victor Muscat) taking control of Fifth Avenue Coach Lines's bus routes [54]. Judge Inzer Bass Wyatt dismissed the blackmail charge against Cohn [55] and lucky Cohn was acquitted [56].
Did all the indictments and near misses slow Cohn down or make him question his life choices? No, like his protege Trump, they only invigorated him and pushed him to ethically dubious and criminal activity until he died prematurely.
