Woman's head injury
WOMAN SHOT IN THE HEAD
Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of Minnesota, was visiting her in-laws and while there went to a nearby super-market to pick up some groceries. Later, her husband noticed her sitting in her car in the driveway with the car running and the windows rolled up. Her eyes closed with both hands behind the back of her head.
He became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay; Linda replied that she had been shot in the back of the head and had been holding her brains in for over an hour (at least it seemed that way to her, it actually had been 15 minutes, she blamed the inability to tell time on her head injury).
The husband called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to move her hands.
When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head. From the back seat a biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head.
When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered.
Linda is blonde, a Democrat, and a Biden supporter; but that could all be a coincidence.
The defective biscuit canister was analyzed and it was determined to be Trump's fault.

Chinese government police stations in the United States
Two Arrested for Operating Illegal Overseas Police Station of the Chinese Government
Defendants Are New York City Residents Who Allegedly Operated the Police Station in Lower Manhattan and Destroyed Evidence When Confronted by the FBI
A complaint was unsealed today in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, charging two defendants in connection with opening and operating an illegal overseas police station, located in lower Manhattan, New York, for a provincial branch of the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). “Harry” Lu Jianwang, 61, of the Bronx, and Chen Jinping, 59, of Manhattan, were arrested earlier this morning at their homes in New York City. Their initial appearances are scheduled this afternoon in Brooklyn before U.S. Magistrate Judge Ramon E. Reyes Jr.
As alleged in the complaint, Lu and Chen are charged with conspiring to act as agents of the PRC government as well as obstructing justice by destroying evidence of their communications with an MPS official. The defendants worked together to establish the first overseas police station in the United States on behalf of the Fuzhou branch of the MPS. The police station – which closed in the fall of 2022 after those operating it became aware of the FBI’s investigation – occupied a floor in an office building in Manhattan’s Chinatown. While acting under the direction and control of an MPS Official, Lu and Chen helped open and operate the clandestine police station. None of the participants in the scheme informed the U.S. government that they were helping the PRC government surreptitiously open and operate an illegal MPS police station on U.S. soil.
“The PRC, through its repressive security apparatus, established a secret physical presence in New York City to monitor and intimidate dissidents and those critical of its government,” said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division. “The PRC’s actions go far beyond the bounds of acceptable nation-state conduct. We will resolutely defend the freedoms of all those living in our country from the threat of authoritarian repression.”
“This prosecution reveals the Chinese government’s flagrant violation of our nation’s sovereignty by establishing a secret police station in the middle of New York City,” said U.S. Attorney Breon Peace for the Eastern District of New York. “As alleged, the defendants and their co-conspirators were tasked with doing the PRC’s bidding, including helping locate a Chinese dissident living in the United States, and obstructed our investigation by deleting their communications. Such a police station has no place here in New York City – or any American community.”
“It is simply outrageous that China’s Ministry of Public Security thinks it can get away with establishing a secret, illegal police station on U.S. soil to aid its efforts to export repression and subvert our rule of law,” said Acting Assistant Director Kurt Ronnow of the FBI Counterintelligence Division. “This case serves as a powerful reminder that the People’s Republic of China will stop at nothing to bend people to their will and silence messages they don’t want anyone to hear. The FBI is dedicated to protecting everyone in the United States against efforts to undermine our democratic freedoms, and we’ll hold any state actors – and those who help them – accountable for breaking our laws.”

Fox News covers Debacle in Democrat run Chicago
The Chicago Police Department responded to a downtown teen riot by encouraging visitors to "enjoy everything the city has to offer."
"Everyone is welcome and encouraged to enjoy all that Chicago has to offer including the popular downtown area," the department said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital Sunday in the aftermath of a "Teen Takeover" promoted on social media that sent tourists running for cover.
The event saw hundreds of teens descend on downtown Chicago, where they vandalized cars and physically assaulted tourists.
The Chicago PD said "criminal activity will never be tolerated" in the city, with the havoc coming less than a year after a separate "Teen Takeover" of the city's most popular tourist areas.
The most recent "Teen Takeover" of the city Saturday played out in similar fashion, with video showing teens flooding streets and jumping up and down on vehicles. According to reports, large groups tried to force their way into the city's popular Millennium Park and downtown Art Institute.
A woman in one of the cars that was vandalized told Fox 32 that a group of teens turned their attention on her husband, who was beaten by the group and forced to receive treatment for his injuries at a local hospital.
Police responded to the chaos by sending hundreds of officers and SWAT personnel downtown to try to restore order, with some officers seen escorting frightened tourists back to their cars or hotel rooms and safety.
"I understand kids having a good time, but this is simply bad parenting," a witness who was identified as a Chicago native told Fox 32. "We have to do better as parents. Our kids should not be out here."
Chicago police said they made 15 arrests during Saturday's chaos, with the majority of those arrested charged with reckless conduct. In addition, one male 16-year old was charged with unlawful use of a weapon and an adult and a juvenile were charged with possession of a stolen vehicle.
The police department told Fox News Digital the "safety and security of all residents and visitors at all times in all parts of the city" is a "top priority" of police.
Meanwhile, Chicago Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson condemned the actions of the teens but cautioned against vilifying the city's youth.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. files paperwork to run for president as a Democrat
Environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to run for president in 2024 as a Democrat.
The filing was confirmed Wednesday by his campaign treasurer, John E. Sullivan.
The 69-year-old is the son of former New York senator, US attorney general and assassinated 1968 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy.
In March, Kennedy tweeted that he was considering a run.
"If it looks like I can raise the money and mobilize enough people to win, I'll jump in the race," he said. "If I run, my top priority will be to end the corrupt merger between state and corporate power that has ruined our economy, shattered the middle class, polluted our landscapes and waters, poisoned our children, and robbed us of our values and freedoms. Together we can restore America's democracy."
His tweet pointed supporters to his website.
"Let Bobby know you want to see his leadership in the White House," the site says while asking for donations.

It's was YUGE...
I had a few appointments yesterday and missed the live TV coverage of former president Donald Trump's coronation. I'm told the networks reported his arraignment on criminal charges in New York had more viewers than the Queen Elizabeth's funeral!
The event was YUGE. Even congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (complete with megaphone) came up from Georgia to attend the event. Sadly when the crowd of her supporters drowned her out, she quickly got into a limo and was whisked away...
Bye Bye MTG ~~
Later in the evening in the sanctuary of his Mar-a-Lago estate, Mr. Trump went on an extended tirade against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg where he maintained his innocence, saying he never did anything illegal and that the charges against him should never have been brought. I think he's talking about all 35 felony charges of falsifying business records.
NPR has a list of the indictment online:
