Karmello Anthony Found Guilty of Murdering Austin Metcalf

  Debra Heine › American Greatness

Democrats expected to assume their patented "Don't hurt us!" position

"Karmelo Anthony has been found guilty of first degree murder in the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas, last year. The Collin County jury reached the verdict Tuesday afternoon, rejecting Anthony’s claim of self-defense after deliberating for less than three hours. 

..."Fights broke out among Karmelo Anthony supporters outside the courthouse, with police swiftly making arrests to keep the peace. 

   “Deputies have made their presence clear, that they’re not going to tolerate any form of chaos,” Fox News reported. 

   "Anthony is facing life imprisonment. 

   "The stabbing occurred at the Memorial High School tent in the David Kuykendall Stadium on the morning of April 2, 2025. 

   "The altercation started when the track and field championship event was delayed due to thunderstorms and heavy downpours and Anthony crashed the Memorial team’s tent. Hunter Metcalf, Austin’s twin brother, told Anthony to leave the tent. During the argument that ensued, Anthony allegedly said, “Touch me and see what happens,” while reaching his hand into his backpack. Metcalf then pushed Anthony on the bleachers they were on. Anthony then pulled out a knife from his backpack and stabbed Metcalf once in the chest before running away. 

   "Witnesses estimated Anthony was asked to leave as much as 15 times during the confrontation, with one testifying that they did not try to gang up on Anthony and that the exchange lasted about two minutes. Multiple students labeled Anthony as the aggressor.    "Anthony’s family set up a crowdfunding campaign on GiveSendGo to pay for legal defense, raising over $515,000 by May 1, 2025. GoFundMe crowdfunding campaigns were also launched by Metcalf’s father and the owner of the pizzeria in Frisco where Metcalf worked part-time, raising only $250,000." . . .

Talarico faces backlash for sixth-grader ‘Obama memoirs’ assignment | Fox News  

Democrat darling and Texas Senate candidate James Talarico is taking heat after it was discovered that, as a public school teacher in San Antonio, he made his sixth-grade students write "Obama memoirs" celebrating his election.

. . . "The Obama memoirs are not the only posts from Talarico’s teacher account drawing criticism. Some have also taken issue with a Sept. 14, 2011, post depicting a classroom "free thinker" display. Among the figures labeled as free thinkers were Obama, Bill Gates, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro.

"Other figures included in the display ranged from Ludwig van Beethoven to Frida Kahlo to Jay-Z. Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling was also included. Not included, however, were any Republican or conservative leaders." . . .

 Democrats have forcefully condemned Republicans for going so low as to play videos of Senate candidate James Talarico saying things. | Babylon Bee parody

. . . "Calling it a "dirty, underhanded tactic," Democrats said the attack ads, which show unedited videos of Talarico talking, really make him look bad.

"I never dreamed Republicans would stoop so low as to show people what Talarico says," said Democratic strategist Samantha Parsons. "Broadcasting clips of real things a candidate says is nothing short of a war crime. This heralds a dark new chapter for our democracy."

"According to sources, the Democrats' ire was drawn by Republicans taking to social media to post actual videos of Talarico explaining his beliefs. "Yes, these videos are disgusting, but we play to win," said Republican operative Philip Darst. "We're not going to back down from sharing unaltered footage of Talarico saying stuff. Politics is a dirty business." . . .

"'The Scott Pelley Problem.'"

"Former CBS News investigative reporter @SharylAttkisson  tells me she's shocked it took 60 Minutes this long to fire Scott Pelley: "Scott Pelley was not a popular anchor in terms of his skill as an anchor as well as his personality... Quite a while before they removed him, I was told by a level above David Rhodes that they were trying to fix what they call 'The Scott Pelley Problem.'"

AfterMath - Home

The Morning Briefing: Scott Pelley's Podcast Tears Made My Schadenfreude Cup Runneth Over   . . . "When I wrote about Scott Pelley getting fired from CBS last week, I said that I don't usually like to celebrate when people lose their jobs, "but when those jobs involve carrying water for people who are actively trying to destroy the United States of America, the circumstances are duly mitigated."

"So, I wasn't feeling that bad for him. He's a serial liar who has been polluting American political dialogue via faux journalism for almost four decades. Pelley is now redefining "insufferable" while making the interview rounds to whine about the firing he most definitely deserved." . . . 

Scott Pelley earned his dismissal long ago    "My favorite Scott Pelley interview was with then-former head of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Christopher Krebs.  Pelley must have liked it as well, because, following the interview, and with further elaboration, he posted it online, under the title “Fired director of U.S. cyber agency Chris Krebs explains why President Trump’s claims of election interference are false.”

"In his introduction, Pelley states, “Mr. Trump’s claim that millions of votes were deleted or switched is denied by the official he chose to secure the nation’s election systems.”

"This is a misleading and a false statement.  It is misleading because, although Trump did claim that millions of votes were deleted or switched, he was not speaking about “the nation’s election systems,” but about a specific element in it — its computer systems."   More...

Scott Pelley Isn’t a Serious Journalist 

 Pelley’s reporting was botched for reasons that went beyond his gullibility. Anyone, of course, can be fooled by a skillful conman, but Pelley took things to a new level of deception. In order to make Chevron look bad, his 60 Minutes crew showed only the scarred oil pits that Chevron didn’t have control over and not the ones it did. The latter were sites it had worked diligently to repair.

 . . . "I used to edit future CBS News anchor Tony Dokoupil’s writing at New York Press. Tony is someone of intelligence, character, and sensitivity. However, let’s be honest: His on-air value starts with his good looks. This is what news personalities ordinarily are required to display. Rogan is a different fish. Yet, while he may not be pretty, he’s shown that he can command an audience. So, would he be any less qualified than Pelley? Or might he be more qualified?" . . .

Now We Know: The Reflecting Pool Reflects TDS

Issues & Insights  

"Was the [Democrat] freakout worth it?"

. . . "The Washington Post quoted Charles Birnbaum – “a renowned expert in landscape architecture” – saying that “painting the basin blue would cause it to compete for attention and fundamentally alter the existing harmony, solemnity, and dignity of the current memorial landscape.”

"Early photos showed a light blue paint color, without making it clear that this was just an undercoat. The final coat is a much darker blue.

"In any case, now the work is done and the pool is filled up.

"Was the freakout worth it?

"One District resident told NPR that “The more water it fills, the more similar it looks [to before].”

"USA Today said that “When water began to trickle back into the pool on Thursday, it was evident the pool did not resemble a swimming pool, (but) once again showed reflections of the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial in both directions.”

"So, naturally, the complaints have shifted to the $13 million price tag.

"Of course, left unsaid is that the Obama administration spent $34 million and two years refurbishing the pool (which, by the way, included a new, tinted bottom – try to find any story freaking out about that), only to see it quickly overcome with algae and continue to leak.

"This is how it goes. Trump does something. Everyone freaks out. The results don’t justify the panic. The TDS brigade moves onto the next freak-out." . . .

California Primary Election 2026: A Reflection; Will California voters ever learn?

 Arthur Schaper - American Thinker   

"One should also add that California, yet again, is the biggest loser of them all. If the election turns out as expected, we can expect four to eight more years of performative progressive government, complete with malfeasance, scandal, and incompetence."

"The California Election 2026 primary is over.

"And yet, it’s not over, because the counting continues.

"Democrat leaders will justify the long counting period because they emphasize creating as much ease as possible for everyone to vote. Everyone gets a mail-in ballot, and everyone can vote from wherever they please in the state. A Los Angeles County resident can vote in Orange County or elsewhere in the state, and they can even vote with a provisional ballot if they don’t bring the original ballot with them.

"The state allows ballots to be counted up to seven days after Election Day, provided that the ballots are postmarked on Election Day.

"It’s Election Day, as Justice Alito commented in a recent Supreme Court case, which should very shortly upend this month-and-a-half of counting long after Election Day in wayward states.

"Republicans and anyone with common sense are right to call foul on this inordinate amount of time to collect and count ballots. It’s hard to trust an election system when ballots can keep rolling in day after day, and certain margins start flipping seats here and there. Republicans have benefited from sudden changes in the voting, but Democrats by and large benefit even more. It’s not a sound, integrated system.

"Thankfully, the federal government is investigating the election centers. The California Post exposed the LA County voting center for having only one person manning a desk while all the other desks sat empty, all with a $336 million budget! After the exposé, lots of employees showed up to start counting ballots.

"Let’s set aside the recriminations about voter fraud, and let’s assume the results as they stand statewide will remain relatively stable. Who are the winners and losers on California’s Primary Election Night 2026?

"Let’s start with the biggest winner: Trump."  

"He endorsed British Fox News anchor and author Steve Hilton in April (Easter Sunday, in fact), and the momentum just built for him." . . .

What’s wrong with California elections?   "What’s wrong with California elections? Just days after the June 2 primary, President Donald Trump walked out of a tense “Meet the Press” interview, having been pressed on his claim that California’s elections are rigged. He wasn’t backing down. And with every new batch of late-counted ballots, it’s easy to see why so many Californians are making the same claim. . . .

Californians are fed up with the failed leftist experiment. They want lower taxes, safer streets, and an end to the homelessness industrial complex. They want leaders who put results over rhetoric.But first, we need elections worthy of that trust. . . .

Horrific Attack By ANOTHER Repeat Offender Leaves Elderly American DEAD

From May 11th: "Previous victims didn’t want to put “another black man behind bars.'”

modernity  

"In yet another preventable tragedy enabled by soft-on-crime policies in blue cities, a repeat offender walked out of a psychiatric ward and immediately murdered an innocent man in New York City."

"Ross Falzone, a 76-year-old retired teacher and social worker for children with special needs, is dead after being shoved down a flight of stairs in Manhattan by a career criminal who should never have been on the streets.

According to the New York Post, the suspect had been detained earlier that afternoon as an “emotionally disturbed person” outside an NYPD station house. 

He was taken to Bellevue Hospital, evaluated, and released just over an hour later. Five hours after that release, the horror unfolded.

The suspect, 32-year-old Rhamell Burke, had assaulted two other people on the subway the previous week. Those victims reportedly refused to cooperate with police, saying they didn’t want to put “another black man behind bars.”

Burke was seen grinning in court after allegedly carrying out the horrific murder.

The Post reports that Burke was in court just five hours after the incident for a completely unrelated assault. He was able to walk free because no one recognized him." . . .

Nancy Guthrie update: Key details emerge from crime scene

 Hello! US

"Nancy Guthrie's disappearance has taken a heartbreaking new turn after a former detective shared his interpretation of evidence found at the scene of the 84-year-old's suspected abduction.

"Savannah Guthrie's mom has been missing since February 1 after authorities say she was taken from her Arizona home during the early hours of the morning. 

"Despite an extensive investigation, thousands of public tips and months of searching, investigators have yet to identify a suspect or determine what happened to the beloved grandmother.

Spencer Pratt Loses - Following Stunning Surge in Mail-in Ballots

Gavin's Law: No matter how effective the conservative arguments, California will choose the moronic candidate.

Spencer Pratt Loses - Following Stunning Surge in Mail-in Ballots Nithya Raman Jumps into 2nd Place in LA Mayor Race   "LA Mayoral Candidate Spencer Pratt has dropped to third place and will not make the runoff.  Leftist city council member Nithya Raman, who previously conceded defeat, has now leaped into second place after winning approximately 40% of all mail-in ballots received in the past few days.  A stunning, remarkable, incredible and some say unbelievable outcome.

"There are still several days of ballot counting ahead.  After all, the creation of ballots takes time and resources, and as noted by several people in/around the LA area, locally sourced, artisanal ballots can take much longer to be grown and curated.

"With an estimated 83% of the post-election ballots now received, Nithya Raman’s concession is null and void.  Her campaign must wipe away the tears and restart efforts toward the general election. Remarkable." . . .

PRATT OF THE JUNGLE, WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE- S-PRATT!

In classic “George of the Jungle” style, Spencer Pratt came swinging into the California jungle primary like a conquering hero — and he was doing well on Election Night. Then the endless mail-in ballots began flying… and BOOM — right into a massive stack of ballots. Down he went from strong second place contender all the way to third, thus ensuring he will be out of the race." . . . "Exactly. Pratt built a solid lead with Election Day votes from fed-up Angelenos. Then the usual California magic happened: Wave after wave of late mail-in ballots rolled in (mostly from deep-blue areas), and suddenly Nithya Raman was overtaking him while more ballots kept appearing."

Savannah Guthrie shares new message about missing mother Nancy Guthrie

 Brendan Morrow, USA TODAY

"Savannah Guthrie is sharing a new message about her missing mother as the search for Nancy Guthrie stretches into its fifth month.

"The "Today" host, 54, took to Instagram on June 7 to share an emotional post about her mom, who was reported missing on Feb. 1. Authorities have said the 84-year-old was taken from her home in Arizona against her will.

"On her Instagram story, Guthrie posted an image of religious artwork, along with text that read, "Oh my, my soul it cries out, soul, it cries out." The "Today" anchor captioned the photo with the message, "Bring her home," along with a heart emoji.

"Guthrie has been pleading with the public to share any information that may help in the search for Nancy Guthrie. In February, the family offered a reward of $1 million "for any information that leads us to her recovery." At the time, the journalist acknowledged her mom "may already be gone," but added that "we need to know where she is."

"After initially stepping away from the "Today" show amid her mom's disappearance, Guthrie returned to the NBC morning program in early April. In May, she paid tribute to her mom in an emotional Mother's Day post on Instagram, in which she shared sweet home video footage of Nancy Guthrie." . . .

Grim details emerge from new Nancy Guthrie scene analysis as 'new ransom note' uncovered   . . . "Buehler claimed he doesn’t believe the 84-year-old is still alive, citing several factors. He explained: ‘The reason I’m fearful she didn’t survive the abduction is kind of twofold. No. 1, no instantaneous demand for a reward with indication that she’s fine and that they’ll release her. That’s a pretty big stretch there to think that she survived it. But the amount of blood that was present there in the front of the house suggests to me a wound that was bleeding a lot, probably not arterial, but bleeding a lot.’". . . 

TDS Watch: The 'Convicted Felon' Argument

  Larry Rlder    

      "District Attorney Alvin Bragg ran for office in an overwhelmingly Democratic county by touting his Trump-hunting prowess

"Trump is a convicted felon!"

        Who hasn't heard this attack line made constantly by critics of President Donald Trump? For them, Trump's conviction settles the debate about his character and fitness for office.

        But consider what one prominent legal analyst -- not from Fox News, Newsmax or a conservative publication -- wrote about the case.

        The charge against Trump brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg boils down to this. Trump recorded payments connected to the Stormy Daniels matter as legal expenses. Bragg transformed that into 34 felony counts and secured a conviction in a jurisdiction where Trump remains unpopular.

        Elie Honig, CNN's senior legal analyst, outlined his objections in New York Magazine. He was brutal. Honig wrote:" . . .

. . . "        "'No man is above the law.' It's become cliche, but it's an important point, and it's worth pausing to reflect on the importance of this core principle. But it's also a meaningless sentiment if we unquestioningly tolerate (or worse, celebrate) deviations from ordinary process and principle to get there. ... Here, prosecutors got their man, for now at least -- but they also contorted the law in an unprecedented manner in their quest to snare their prey."

        "To sum up, CNN's senior legal analyst describes the prosecution as a "Frankenstein Case," says prosecutors "contorted the law in an unprecedented manner" and warns about "deviations from ordinary process and principle." It appears shouting "convicted felon!" isn't quite the conversation-ending argument Trump's critics think." . . .

Afflicted With TDS, Four Senators Kill Election Integrity

  The American Spectator 

In reality, not one of this querulous quartet of Senators voted against the SAVE America Act based on genuine principles or the will of the people.

"Last Thursday, even as California’s chaotic primaries demonstrated the need for a nationwide election integrity law, Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) voted to kill the SAVE America Act. This would be understandable if the bill were unpopular with the electorate. But its requirement that voters in every state must provide proof of citizenship before registering to vote and produce a photo ID when casting a ballot are wildly popular among Republicans and Democrats. Yet, because its passage is one of President Trump’s top priorities, TDS forced them to ignore his agenda and that of the voters.

"The only member of this cadre of recalcitrant Republicans with a rational excuse, other than TDS, to vote against the SAVE America Act is Maine Sen. Susan Collins. She is involved in a tough reelection campaign and had she voted for the bill her depraved Democrat opponent, “oysterman” Graham Platner, would no doubt use that vote to bolster the ridiculous claim that she is a rubber stamp for Trump. According to a bulletin published by the Maine Democratic Party, “FiveThirtyEight found that she voted with Trump 67 percent of the time during his first term.” North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis has no rational excuse for his vote against the SAVE America Act. In a statement issued after the first of his two votes against the bill he said,

All of my Democratic colleagues currently serving supported nuking the filibuster to try to pass their own partisan election reform bill. Democrats were dead wrong to try to change the filibuster when they controlled the Senate, and Republicans would be dead wrong to try to change the filibuster now that we control the Senate. The only real path to address the American people’s declining confidence in our elections is for both parties to find common ground on legislation that supports universal adoption of voter ID, proof of citizenship, and other vital election integrity measures." . . .

. . . "McConnell knows perfectly well they’re going to do that anyway if they can. His real objection is that he hates Trump’s guts, although he voted to acquit Trump in both impeachments. And that brings us the Senator of “Seward’s Folly,” Lisa Murkowski. Like Susan Collins, she voted to convict Trump in the farcical J6 impeachment trial." . . . 

California's tax policies are so bad billionaires are willing to pay extra to flee "So adios, idiots, the billionaires have better places to go"

 Monica Showalter - American Thinker

And the fact that this is happening tells a lot about just how bad California's governance is, which, augmented by election fraud, is probably impossible to change for the foreseeable future.

"California is well known for driving its productive citizens to other states.

"A proposed new 'billionaire tax,' that's coming up on the November ballot has already driven many of its most successful citizens -- Peter Thiel, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Stephen Spielberg -- to other states like Florida, Tennessee, Texas, Nevada, any place where the greedy hand of the state is not fixing to take another dip into their pockets. 

"The Wall Street Journal last week noticed something weird: A lot of them are moving to nearby Nevada ... and they're seemingly losing money by buying up properties around Lake Tahoe at inflated prices.

"According to the Journal:

As wealthy Californians flee the state, deep-pocketed buyers are taking refuge in Nevada, which is starting to rival Florida as a tax haven for the elite. Amid surging demand for prime Tahoe property in Nevada, a recent string of megadeals reflects the premium buyers are willing to pay for a lower tax bill—and the widening price gap between the two sides of the lake.

California’s proposed wealth tax effectively “sprinkled rocket fuel” on the ultraluxury market on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, said Bill Dietz of Tahoe Luxury Properties.

The proposal would levy a one-time, 5% tax on the net worth of residents with net assets of $1 billion or more, and would apply to anyone who resided in California as of Jan. 1, 2026. 

In December 2025, just after the tax was proposed, Google co-founder Sergey Brin paid $42 million for a lakefront home in Crystal Bay, Nev., property records show. The same month, a 210-acre estate in Zephyr Cove, Nev., sold for $80 million to an undisclosed buyer. Then in March, an entity tied to venture capitalist Steve Jurvetson shattered the Nevada and Tahoe records with the $125 million purchase of an estate in Incline Village, Nev. Jurvetson also picked up an adjacent $7 million property, and paid $46 million for a separate Incline Village home, for a total spend of $178 million. Brin didn’t respond to requests for comment. Jurveston declined to comment.

"Then came the kicker from the Journal: . . ." More...
