By Becca Lower In a breaking story this Saturday, two Philadelphia police officers were shot while checking into a report of a man with a gun at a home, and the suspected shooter is now in custody, according to multiple reports.  🚨 BREAKING: A Philadelphia police officer is dead and another is in critical condition after an ambush while responding to a call about an armed suspect early this morning. Police say the suspect shot one officer 12 times and the other three times. SWAT found him hiding in a tree and took him into custody. PRAY FOR OUR HEROES IN BLUE — Gunther Eagleman™ (@GuntherEagleman) October 10, 2026 The attack on the law enforcement officers appeared to be unprovoked, something Philadelphia police Commissioner Kevin J. Bethel included during a press conference Saturday morning on the call. He said : ..."[A]thorities received a call at 12:22 a.m. that a man with a gun was on the porch of a house in West Philadelphia. The two officers were dispatched and arri...

By Kyle Becker President Donald Trump is no longer holding back after Ukraine struck a Russian diesel refinery shortly after his phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. In scathing remarks, President Trump called out Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky for his country launching attacks against Russian diesel refineries . .@POTUS: We told Zelensky, 'You can do whatever you want to Russia, but don't hit the refineries because that's a world problem.' And what does he do? He goes and hits the diesel fuel. He better damn well stop. https://t.co/CdRlMcPlKr — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) October 10, 2026 RedState colleague Jennifer Oliver O'Connell provided an excellent overview of the recent diplomatic developments and their ramifications for U.S.-Ukraine relations. On his way to Clarksville, TN, on Saturday, President Trump spoke with the press and confirmed that he had asked Zelensky to leave the refineries alone, and that Zelensky disregar...

By Ben Smith The Secret Service missed a Glock in a gym bag at President Trump’s Virginia golf club. Its owner made it through screening, had lunch, and went swimming before realizing he still had the pistol with him. He reported it himself. Trump was on the property that afternoon, August 31, 2025. More than a year later, Judicial Watch has obtained the agency’s account of the breach through a federal lawsuit. The group released 14 heavily redacted pages on October 8. The member arrived around noon for lunch and a swim. According to an assistant special agent in charge’s email, he went through a metal detector, and someone visually searched his bag. He then ate on the patio and went to the pool. His afternoon continued until he found the pistol while changing clothes and notified security at about 3:53 PM An agent’s email explains why he came forward: "Upon changing his clothes after using the pool, [redacted] realized that he had inadvertently left his Glock 43 pistol in h...

By Hannah Nightingale Members of an Alabama Antifa cell, including a trans-identified male, have been indicted on federal charges for threatening to kill ICE agents and possessing illegal firearms.  Levi “Cici” Clifton Belcher, 18, of Huntsville, Alabama, has been charged with possession of an unregistered National Firearms Act Weapon and interstate transmission of threatening communications. Belcher identifies as transgender and is originally from Tennessee. Tadashi Ereckson, 38, and Anthony Elijah Slota, 28, both of Huntsville, have been charged with possession of an unregistered National Firearms Act Weapon.  On December 18, 2025, the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center was alerted to a social media post from Belcher containing threats of violence against ICE agents. Per the Washington Examiner , Belcher was reported missing by his father a month later.  ATF agents and Intelligence Research Specialists located Belcher’s car in Decatur, Alabama on Septem...

By Tim O'Brien Mike Ditka did something today that quite a few in Chicago thought was impossible. He became mortal. The football legend died on Friday, October 9, at the age of 86. According to reports, he was surrounded by his family and friends. No specific cause of death was given. Ditka’s long list of accomplishments includes enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a tight end who was a member of the Chicago Bears' 1963 NFL championship team. As the Bears’ head coach, he took the team to its only Super Bowl championship in 1986 at the end of the 1985 season. After his coaching career ended, in 1992, NBC hired Ditka as a studio analyst for its NFL Live program, where his blunt takes on the games, the players, and the league turned watching otherwise boring filler programming into must-see TV. In 1997, the New Orleans Saints persuaded Ditka to return to coaching, but in this stint, he did not have the same success he enjoyed with the Bears. The Saints went 6-1...

By Rusty Weiss If you thought WNBA star Sophie Cunningham could give a rip about what people thought before, wait until you see her latest comments. She is apparently done caring. The shackles are off. And an unchained Sophie is the absolute best version. The Indiana Fever guard responded this week to a column in The Athletic by Candace Buckner that argued the team should cut ties with her in free agency, calling her “too combustible” and “too turbulent” to pair with Caitlin Clark. "All because of Sophie Cunningham. This was the season when the Fever and even the whole Caitlin Clark experience took a backseat to a bench player with big opinions," Buckner wrote . "So if the Fever ever want to go back to being a basketball team again and follow the lead of rivals openly clashing with the forces trying to hijack their league, then Cunningham has to go." It's always cute to hear a sports columnist, who has never been a competitive player at any notable level, s...

By Rusty Weiss Neighbors of the illegal alien shot by ICE agents this week in the Bronx are pushing back hard on Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s description of the man as a “New Yorker.” Mamdani, upon hearing of an opportunity to score political points with his low-information supporters, balled up his little Communist fist and raged over the shooting while proudly claiming him as one of the Big Apple's own. "This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood," he wrote on X late Thursday. "This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city." Oh noes, tough guy. Descriptions of any illegal alien as being a citizen of the place where they are illegally squatting are absurd. He is not a New Yorker. He is not an American. He is, however, a criminal. Period. End of story. And his neighbors weren't too...

By Becky Noble On Friday, federal U.S. District Judge Paul Oetken temporarily blocked the deportation of an illegal alien who was involved in a shooting on Thursday as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents attempted to carry out an operation in New York City.  Oetken issued a two-page order saying a man police identified as Oscar Belgal (but who was identified in a court document as Oscar Bergal) could not be removed from the country while a petition challenging his detention is pending. Authorities are also prohibited from transferring Belgal to any other facility outside the Southern or Eastern Districts of New York or the District of New Jersey without a court order. The illegal alien whose shooting has degenerate Gotham in an uproar is Oscar Belgal, from the Dominican Republic. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said as ICE-ERO officers tried to box in his car to make an arrest, Belgal rammed the ICE vehicles. A senior official said at least five shots ...
