Update: More.

ITALY: Milan right now looks like a literal war zone.

A coalition of far-left activists and Muslim migrant gangs is currently rioting and destroying the city because Italy refuses to recognize a Palestinian state.

Total chaos.

SCOTUS: Supreme Court to hear case on presidential authority to fire independent board members.

The Supreme Court decided to take the case after it ruled in a 6-3 split that Trump can fire Rebecca Slaughter, a Democratic member of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), while the case plays out, per the Associated Press.

The high court will be ruling on whether to overturn a Franklin Roosevelt-era precedent, established in 1935, that determined a board member can only be removed by a president for misconduct or neglect of duty. The Trump administration has argued that the president should have the authority to fire board members who work for the executive branch.

The case comes after Trump tried to fire Democratic members of the FTC, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and Federal Reserve board of governors.

“Congress, as everyone agrees, prohibited each of those presidential removals,” liberal Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan wrote in a minority decision. “Yet the majority, stay order by stay order, has handed full control of all those agencies to the President.”

The problem — which Republicans are finally doing something about — is that these “independent” agencies tend to become dominated by leftists and Swamp creatures.

Which is a “difference without distinction,” as we used to say on the debate boards.

K-12 IMPLOSION UPDATE: High schoolers are earning career credentials, but most have no value.

According to Credentials Matter, only one of every eight career credentials leads to higher pay.

Employers value Microsoft Office Specialist certifications, or nursing, electrical and commercial drivers’ licenses, researchers say. They’re looking for young people with technical certificates in auto repair, construction or welding.

But “over a quarter of all high school credentials only provide workplace readiness skills such as digital and financial literacy,” writes O’Donnell.

States are encouraging schools to add career classes, but few recommend only credentials with labor-market value, reports Advance CTE.

Another reason why we have to import skilled labor from overseas.

Sad looking, but typical for Russian logistics going back at least to WWII — when they performed well enough to defeat the Wehrmacht.

Regardless, it’s Russia’s rapid advances over the last year or two in fiber-optic-controlled drones that the Pentagon needs to wake up to.

BYRON YORK: Conflict in aftermath of Kirk killing.

There are two epic battles going on in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. One is the battle to define Kirk. The other is the battle to define his killer.

There are significant voices trying to portray Kirk as a hateful, divisive figure. At the same time, there are voices trying to portray Kirk’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, as a confused, apolitical young man. In simplest terms, the point for both is to absolve Kirk’s political adversaries — Democrats, the Left, progressives, antifa, trans warriors, furries, whatever — of complicity in Kirk’s death. If Kirk was divisive and hateful, then he might have, in some portion, brought his terrible fate on himself. And if the suspect was indeed confused and apolitical, then he was not acting in any directed way on behalf of an ideology that might then bear some blame for the assassination.

It’s instant absolution for the Left: We didn’t do it, and even if we did, he kinda deserved it.

Weird how the people claiming that Kirk’s assassin wasn’t one of their own are the same people celebrating his murder.

Anyway, read the whole thing.

COME SEE THE RACISM INHERENT IN THE LEFTISM: DOJ Investigates Austin For Racism. “This is likely to put Austin Mayor Kirk Watson in a bind. Watson is a Democrat, but he campaigned on being a moderate Democrat, someone who was going to reverse the far-left excesses of the Steve Alder era. While Watson did tack closer to the center on a few key issues (like reinstating the homeless ‘camping’ ban), he has done very little to dismantle various other hard left policies enacted by the Austin City Council and the city bureaucracy.”

BIG DAY: Trump Gets a Letter from Maduro. Venezuela Gets More Trouble at Sea. Democrats Melt Down.

CONSPIRACY THEORY: No, Charlie Kirk Was Not Shot With a .380 ACP ‘Cell Phone Gun.’

As this conspiracy theory goes, the guy in the white hat and white polo behind and to Kirk’s right is not, in fact, clearly holding an obvious cell phone — much like hundreds of people in the audience were — but was, instead, holding an IC380 pistol.

The conspiracy theorists assert that he moves his hands and reacts in an incriminating manner — recoil? — just as Kirk is shot, which occurs mere moments after the screenshot above was taken from one of the slew of videos that captured the horror of that day. They’re convinced that the copious amounts of blood seen in the videos comes from an exit wound caused by a 380 ACP round fired by the man in white.

No. That’s not what happened. Here’s the deal . . .

TIM O’BRIEN: The Most Misinterpreted Part of Trump’s Eulogy to Charlie Kirk.

YOU GET MORE OF WHAT YOU SUBSIDIZE: Soros’ Open Society gave $80 million to pro-terror groups. “Since 2016, George Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF), now run with his son Alexander, has poured over $80 million into groups tied to terrorism or extremist violence. The evidence is stark: Open Society has sent millions of dollars into U.S.-based organizations that engage in ‘direct actions’ that the FBI defines as domestic terrorism. These groups include the Center for Third World Organizing and its militant partner Ruckus Society, which trained activists in property destruction and sabotage during the 2020 riots, and the Sunrise Movement, which endorsed the Antifa-linked Stop Cop City campaign, in which activists currently face over 40 domestic terrorism charges and 60 racketeering indictments. At the same time, Open Society awarded $18 million to the Movement for Black Lives, a group that co-authored a radical guide that glorifies Hamas’s October 7 massacre and instructs activists in the use of false IDs, blockades, and economic disruption.”

GOOD: Poland will shoot down objects in clear-cut airspace violations, prime minister says.

NATO member Poland will not hesitate to shoot down objects that violate its airspace and pose a threat, but will take a more cautious approach to situations that are less clear-cut, the prime minister said on Monday.

Estonia said three Russian fighter jets violated its airspace on Friday, adding to a sense among NATO leaders that Moscow is testing the alliance’s readiness and resolve, with some urging a firm response. The United Nations Security Council is due to meet on Monday to discuss the incident.

Russia said on Monday the claim its jets violated Estonian airspace was false and designed to stir up tension.

The alleged incursion over Estonia came after more than 20 Russian drones entered Polish airspace on the night of September 9-10. Poland also said on Friday two Russian fighter jets violated the safety zone of the Petrobaltic drilling platform, opens new tab in the Baltic Sea.

“We will take the decision to shoot down flying objects when they violate our territory and fly over Poland – there is absolutely no discussion about that,” Donald Tusk told a news conference.

The bully will keep pushing until punched in the nose.

CYBERSECURITY: EU agency confirms ransomware attack behind airport disruptions.

Rafe Pilling, director of threat intelligence at British cybersecurity firm Sophos, said there have been more ransomware attempts targeting higher-profile victims because of the attention they bring, but such attacks weren’t becoming more frequent.

“Disruptive attacks are becoming more visible in Europe, but visibility doesn’t necessarily equal frequency,” he told Reuters.

“Truly large-scale, disruptive attacks that spill into the physical world remain the exception rather than the rule.”

Maybe that’s the point: High visibility attacks meant to squeeze maximum ransoms, but not so disruptive that governments get serious about going after the attackers.
