Shooter's Achieved X Posts Emerge

What is particularly alarming about WHCA dinner shooter Cole Allen is that his social media footprint does not reflect a fringe left-wing extremist, but rather an ordinary Democrat who appears to have been conditioned over the past decade by left-wing corporate media and radical left-wing NGOs. This toxic ecosystem manufactured an artificial informational environment in which President Trump was labeled, around the clock, as a "fascist," a "Nazi," and worse, inciting an existential crisis among weak-minded Democrats who have decided to take up violence in response.

This imbecile clearly doesn’t have the faintest clue what actual Nazis would be like

We all remember that top Democrats have spent years calling Trump "fascist" and "Nazi" in an information war to delegitimize the president.

If you’re wondering why 3 attempts on President Trump’s life, that we know of, have happened, it’s because of people like Tim Walz who keep saying:

Democrats have one strategy: it's a color revolution. 

Shooter's Manifesto 

CBS News' Jennifer Jacobs has confirmed that the WHCA dinner shooter, Cole Allen, wrote a manifesto stating he was targeting Trump officials:

Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest

Secret Service: they are targets only if necessary, and to be incapacitated non-lethally if possible (aka, I hope they're wearing body armor because center mass with shotguns messes up people who aren't

Hotel Security: not targets if at all possible (aka unless they shoot at me)

Capitol Police: same as Hotel Security

National Guard: same as Hotel Security

Hotel Employees: not targets at all

Guests: not targets at all

In order to minimize casualties I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs (less penetration through walls)

I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary (on the basis that most people chose to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit) but I really hope it doesn't come to that.

The manifesto also said:

And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.

(Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago, but this is the first real opportunity I've had to do something about it.)

Fox News' Will Ricciardella made the point that Allen "wasn't some nut job lurking on the fringes of society, forgotten by the system."

Ricciardella said Allen was "well-educated, credentialed, employed, and institutionally formed. That's what makes this so disturbing."

In reality, Allen is a byproduct of the Democratic Party's psychological operation via corporate media to delegitimize Trump (color revolution), which has pushed many liberals into an existential crisis, making them believe they must act with violence.

Report says Shooter's Intent: Target Trump Admin Officials

New details have emerged about Cole Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, who opened fire at the Washington Hilton Hotel during the White House Correspondents' Dinner last night.

Fox News' Bill Melugin posted on X early Saturday:

Per federal law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation who spoke to @FoxNews, Cole Allen told investigators after his arrest that his intent was to target Trump administration officials at the WHCD.

Shooting strengthens the case for President Trump's new White House ballroom, which would make events like this safer. But activist judges have repeatedly halted construction.

Shooting at White House Correspondents' Dinner

President Donald Trump was evacuated from the head table at the White House correspondent's dinner on Saturday night after a gunman, allegedly 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen, 31, of California - stormed the event and fired shots in the lobby. Authorities confirm the suspected shooter has been apprehended and is in custody after shots fired near the lobby screening area. President Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and all protectees were safely evacuated with no injuries reported. The Secret Service continues investigating.

 Trump posted a picture of the suspect on Truth Social along with a video: 

According to Just the News, the gunman was not wounded and was carrying a shotgun, a handgun and several knives. 

In a White House press conference held shortly after the incident, Trump praised the Secret Service and law enforcement for their “fantastic job” and rapid response, describing the shooter as a “lone wolf” and “very sick person” from California who was armed with multiple weapons and charged a security checkpoint. He revealed that one Secret Service officer was shot at close range but was saved by his bulletproof vest and is “doing great,” while confirming the suspect was swiftly apprehended and taken into custody without harming any protectees. Trump noted he had “fought like hell to stay” at the dinner but deferred to security protocol, adding that the frightening event unexpectedly unified the ballroom and brought journalists and politicians together; he announced the White House Correspondents’ Dinner will be fully rescheduled within the next 30 days

Shots were fired during the 2026 White House Correspondents' Dinner (WHCD) at the Washington Hilton ballroom on Saturday evening, prompting the immediate evacuation of President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President, and other high-profile attendees by Secret Service. Guests were ordered to take cover under tables as heavily armed agents secured the venue.

According to Deadline’s on-site reporter Ted Johnson, who was present in the ballroom near the area of the incident: “I heard what sounded like four shots, and it seemed to come from the hall just outside the ballroom near my table.”

Key details from initial reporting:

• President Trump and dignitaries—including the First Lady, Vice President, WHCA President Weijia Jiang, and entertainer/mentalist Oz Pearlman—were quickly hustled out of the ballroom.
• Secret Service agents jumped onto the stage amid the chaos.
• Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s security detail told CNN live that there was a shooter in the lobby and that the shooter is dead.
• A separate White House Pool Report from Jeff Mordock of the Washington Times stated that Secret Service indicated the alleged shooter is in custody - however CNN is reporting that the shooter is dead. the shooter is in custody. 

Attendees described loud noises (consistent with gunfire), panic, people ducking, the room being placed on lockdown, and police/Secret Service sweeping the hotel. Trump and the First Lady were reported safe after a rapid evacuation shortly after arriving at the event. No injuries to attendees or dignitaries have been confirmed in initial accounts.

Axon's Ukraine Drone Deals Signal Big U.S. Counter-UAS Push

Axon, formerly TASER International, has evolved beyond its roots as a police-tech vendor and is now positioning itself to soon be a major importer of drone and counter-drone technology after a series of deals with Ukrainian defense companies.

Axon currently sells hardware to local police forces, federal agencies, security, and military-adjacent markets. Some of this hardware includes Tasers, body-worn cameras, digital evidence systems, and AI voice companions, while the company's pivot is now moving toward battlefield-tested drone technology in Ukraine, which will likely be deployed here in the U.S.

Axon has made at least two Ukraine-linked defense-tech deals this year, both centered on drones, autonomy, ISR, and counter-UAS.

The first deal of the year, dated Feb. 17, was published in Kyiv Post:

The Fourth Law

Axon backed Kyiv-based The Fourth Law, a drone-autonomy firm developing AI modules for UAVs and interceptor drones. The investment amount was not disclosed. The funding is aimed at R&D for autonomy systems designed to counter Shahed-type drones and protect cities and critical infrastructure. Kyiv Post reported that The Fourth Law’s systems are used by more than 50 Ukrainian military units.

Then, in March, Kyiv Post reported another:

Buntar Aerospace

Axon led a $10.4 million funding round for Ukrainian drone developer Buntar Aerospace, alongside Norwegian investment consortium Munkene AS and other private investors. The deal includes a strategic partnership focused on commercial cooperation and technology integration around ISR capabilities. Buntar’s core product is the Buntar-3, an electric VTOL reconnaissance drone with up to four hours of flight time, plus mission-management software called Copilot.

Late last summer, executives at Axon met with Ukrainian drone manufacturers in Kyiv to propose a collaboration on countering drones.

Also, last year Axon acquired the Ukrainian company Dedrone for its AI-powered airspace security system, which safeguards large-scale events, airports, critical infrastructure, and even military bases against drones. 

Craig S. Smith of Eye on AI recently penned a note explaining how Ukraine has become "the world's AI weapons laboratory as the rise of drones, AI kill chains, and robots is being deployed and tested in what can only be described as a hyperdevelopment fashion. This allows combat-proven defense technology to flourish very quickly, and companies like Axon have understood that, in Ukraine's nonexistent capital markets, valuations for this technology are dirt cheap.

It's not just Axon sniffing around Ukraine for cheap war unicorn startups with proven battlefield-tested companies. There are numerous firms, from robotics to private equity, searching for these unicorns because they see the urgent need to bring this cheap counter-drone technology back to the U.S., where virtually every high-value asset, from data centers to power grids, has a missing layer of low-cost air defense against FPVs. 

As we've previously noted, the passive acoustics early-warning counter-drone space is about to heat up (read here).

If The British Lose The Falkland Islands It Will Be Their Own Fault

This month, after four years of tensions between Europe and Russia, the Russian Navy executed an operation in the North Atlantic on the doorstep of British waters.  Using an Akula-Class nuclear submarine as a decoy, the Russians sent covert spy subs to map underwater infrastructure, including vulnerable internet cables and pipelines. 

Given the precarious nature of the war in Ukraine, the Russian action is being called "brazen" by European leaders.  Critics argue, though, that the Russians only carried out the operation because they feel they have little to fear from the Royal Navy. 

This problem was further exposed when Iranian missiles and drones targeted multiple British bases in March after the initial start of the war.  Kier Starmer sent only one vessel (the HMS Dragon) for air defense, and this ship was then called back in April for maintenance.  The military response by the British was called "pathetic" by many who expected at least a rudimentary naval presence for security. 

Europe's "hands off" policy in the Strait of Hormuz aside, it is becoming clear that these countries could not field an adequate and functional fleet even if they wanted to.  In fact, their apprehensions about helping to secure the strait under NATO might be, in part, a result of their fear of being discovered as militarily impotent.  

These recent events and others have led the Trump Administration to question the purpose of a NATO alliance that has nothing to offer and relies almost completely on the US military as a deterrent (or shield) in the face of a wider war.  This lack of faith in Europe (including Britain) has bled into orbiting issues, including the Falkland Islands.

Argentine President and Trump ally Javier Milei has launched a new effort to claim control of the Falkland Islands, reigniting a long-standing dispute with the United Kingdom over the archipelago, which once led to war.   

"The Malvinas were, are, and always will be Argentine,” Milei said on X in Spanish on Friday, using the Argentine name for the islands.  In a separate interview with the Argentine digital channel Neura, Milei said that the country was doing “everything humanly possible” to return the Falklands to Argentina. 

LAS MALVINAS FUERON, SON Y SIEMPRE SERÁN ARGENTINAS.
VLLC! https://t.co/frox4fn03r

— Javier Milei (@JMilei) April 24, 2026

The US has always been "officially neutral" on the Falklands, but leaned in favor of British control for decades.  The British media has recently accused Trump of shifting to the Argentinian side and asserting that he might be "plotting" to help Millei reacquire the islands. 

This claim comes from a leaked policy memo from Trump advisers about a possible "reassessment" of the US position on the Falklands.  It had nothing to do with any statements made by the White House.  The media has blown the story up into a tale of betrayal by the Trump Administration against his British friends. 

At bottom, if the President did change the US stance on the Falkland Islands, it would likely be to become truly neutral instead of simply pretending to be neutral.  In other words, if Argentina wanted to take the islands, the US would not intervene.  And, evidence suggests that if this happened the British would not be able to do much about it. 

Currently, the Royal Navy has only 63 active vessels in its fleet (compare this to nearly 300 active vessels in the US navy).  That said, the word "active" is misleading.  At any given time, over 50% of British vessels are under repair or in dry dock, which means they only have 20-30 ships ready to fight under current conditions (high readiness).  Strategic assessments indicate that Britain would need all of these vessels to go to war with Argentina and guard their interests in the Falklands. 

Today, the British have only one patrol ship in the area (the HMS Medway).   

Ultimately, Britain's lack of military readiness and their ongoing hostility towards the Trump Administration has created conditions in which they could lose the very territory they fought to keep in 1982.  During that war, the British (and the UK) relied on extensive US intel and logistical support.  Now, that support is gone and their navy is much smaller and less effective (the Royal Navy task force sent to secure the islands in 1982 had 127 ships).     

If they lose the Falkands today, they will only have themselves to blame.
