A substitute teacher in Louisiana was arrested after authorities say she triggered false active-shooter alerts at five schools, prompting security responses across the district.Lytonja Barfield, 58, was booked on five counts of menacing following an investigation into the alerts Wednesday, Caddo Parish Sheriff Henry Whitehorn Sr. announced.The Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office began investigating after officials with the Caddo Parish School Board contacted the agency about possible threats following emergency alerts at several schools.FLORIDA 12-YEAR-OLD ACCUSED OF THREATENING TEACHER, SAYING SHE WILL ‘SHOOT UP’ SCHOOLDon Gibbs, the school board’s director of security, told investigators that Barfield, a substitute teacher, had allegedly used the district’s emergency management system to report active shooters at five schools, according to the sheriff’s office.School officials responded to the alerts by implementing security measures to protect students and staff while they worked to determine whether the reported threats were legitimate.Officials determined the alerts were false and identified Barfield as the person responsible for sending them, the sheriff’s office said.HERO PRINCIPAL TAKES A BULLET TO STOP ALLEGED PLANNED SCHOOL MASSACRECaddo Parish Public Schools told Fox News Digital that Barfield is no longer employed by the district, and was not assigned to work at any district location at the time of the incident.”We are cooperating fully with the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office as they continue their investigation into the matter. Ms. Barfield is no longer employed by the district and at the time of the incident, she was not assigned to work at any district site,” the district’s statement read. “While we will not speak to the individual details of the investigation, as that is under the purview of the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office, I can say that in response to the mobile alerts, the district followed our established security protocols to ensure student and staff safety at all locations.”The sheriff’s office did not identify the five schools in its announcement or say what specific security measures were implemented.A Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office detective later located Barfield and questioned her about the incident.Based on evidence and information gathered during the investigation, authorities arrested Barfield and transported her to the Caddo Correctional Center, according to the sheriff’s office.TRENDING ‘SENIOR ASSASSIN’ GAME DRAWS STARK WARNINGS FROM POLICE NATIONWIDE: ‘DANGEROUS MISUNDERSTANDINGS’Barfield was booked on five counts of menacing.The sheriff’s office said false reports of active threats can disrupt schools, trigger emergency responses and cause fear among students, parents, employees and the surrounding community.Authorities did not disclose a possible motive for the alleged false alerts.The investigation remains ongoing.

Just hours before a key jungle primary decided the field for a critical Senate race the left hopes to flip, Democratic candidate Mary Peltola, a former state representative, fired numerous senior campaign staffers in what one local outlet described as a “Saturday night massacre.”
Peltola would win the all-party primary by a 48.1 percent to 42.7 percent margin over incumbent GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan on Tuesday, according to The Washington Post.
However, most of the remaining votes are likely to skew Sullivan’s way in November — including a candidate with the name Daniel J. Sullivan who ran as a Republican but was a Democratic op to draw votes away from the incumbent on the first ballot.
In addition, while polling of varying quality consistently showed Peltola ahead by anywhere between 2 to 7 percentage points in a general election matchup, a June 15-29 New York Times/Siena University poll showed Sullivan up by two. The poll was the first survey to meet the Times’ quality-control standards for its polling aggregate.
While it’s unclear why, The Alaska Landmine reported Monday that Peltola had “abruptly fired multiple senior campaign staff” over the weekend, just days before the primary.
This included two senior officials, Anton McParland and Elisa Rios, who had been with her since 2022, when she was elected to the U.S. House in 2022; Rios was her chief of staff.

This is true
And Anton McParland, Peltola’s campaign manager and former chief of staff, is no longer with the campaign. https://t.co/21oJ6qriay

From the Landmine:
One source with knowledge of the firings described the campaign in “complete chaos” with other staff wondering if they still have a job. … 
Democrats need to pick up four seats to take control of the Senate. Many political observers feel Alaska is a must-win state for Democrats to gain a majority in the Senate. 
The campaign shake-up comes one day after the Peltola campaign publicly distanced itself from the support of former Vice President Kamala Harris. It’s not clear if that is the reason or contributed to the decision to fire senior staff. Harris lost Alaska to Donald Trump in 2024 by 13 points. In that same election, Peltola lost to Representative Nick Begich (R – Alaska) by just 2.4 points. 
Instead, sources said that Peltola had turned to a liberal-leaning Chicago-based firm founded by former Barack Obama adviser David Axelrod called Thematic Campaigns.
While not intimately familiar with the unusual nature of Alaska’s campaigns — which are often grueling tests of turnout that require considerable knowledge of local issues — Thematic has “worked on including Barack Obama, Adam Schiff, Pete Buttigieg, and Sheldon Whitehouse,” the Landmine reported.
Sources also told the outlet that the Democratic National Committee had occasioned the “massacre” and pushed Thematic onto the Peltola campaign, although this was not confirmed.
Of the states that went for Donald Trump in 2024 and have Senate races in 2026, only North Carolina had better odds of flipping Democrat on the prediction markets as of Wednesday night, according to 270 to Win.
Peltola still holds a 56 percent chance of beating Sullivan on Kalshi.
However, Democrats now have to worry about a flip in Michigan, where radical (and less electable) Wayne County public health official Abdul El-Sayed scored a narrow victory over U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens in the Democratic Primary. Another chance for a flip was seemingly lost Tuesday when Democratic socialist state Rep. Angie Nixon scored a stunning upset in the Florida senatorial primary over Alexander Vindman, a former National Security Council member best remembered for his role in precipitating Donald Trump’s first impeachment.
In addition, scandals continue to plague what was thought to be the easiest Democratic Senate pickup of the 2026 midterms, as Troy Jackson — the replacement for the disgraced Graham Platner in Maine — is now facing decades-old partner-abuse allegations of his own, albeit allegations that partner denies making, despite having filed a police report.

It was only a few years ago when the climate change alarms and green energy fad were all the rage at the White House and corporate board rooms. Former President Joe Biden’s policies were all tilted to ending fossil fuels, and many of America’s biggest corporations embraced the concept of net-zero fossil fuels. This was the movement during the Biden years to eliminate virtually ALL oil, natural gas and coal production, and replace these energy sources with windmills, solar panels and electric vehicles.
This goal was pure virtue-signaling, and it never made any practical sense. Roughly 70% of American energy comes from fossil fuels, and only about 10% comes from “green energy.” Studies showed that the initiative would have decimated the U.S. economy: millions of American jobs lost, hundreds of billions of dollars of lost GDP, and much higher energy costs for American businesses and families.
It was an “unaffordability” project at a time when Americans are demanding lower, not higher, costs. It was all pain and no gain. Even if the U.S. had reduced its fossil fuel usage, it would have had only a tiny impact on total global emissions because China and India were opening up far more coal plants than America was shutting down.
Washington spent hundreds of billions of dollars on taxpayer subsidies to promote wind and solar, yet it remained as stalled out as the EV plants that are shutting down across the country.
Good news: The net-zero movement is dead – or at least on life support. A new study that I coauthored for Unleash Prosperity finds that Wall Street’s once-aggressive embrace of net-zero climate policies has been reversed. Six of the largest U.S. banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo have completely withdrawn from the Net-Zero Banking Alliance.
What a reversal this is: The net-zero movement once included a powerful coalition of financial institutions representing 140 member banks and $75.5 trillion in assets.
There are a few financial institutions – such as Morgan Stanley and State Street – that still embrace some of these radical regulations, but not many.
Much of this never made sense given that AI and data center energy needs will double or triple our electric power demands over the next two decades. That will require an all-of-the above approach to meet those needs and to keep power affordable for our businesses and families.
It also made no sense because America has the cleanest coal and 600 years of reserves – more than any other nation. We also have several hundred years of clean and cheap natural gas, which is critical to keeping the lights on, American factories humming and air conditioning running.
Of course, to meet those energy needs, we also need to be using more nuclear power, which produces little to no greenhouse gas emissions. Good news on that front: For the first time in decades, Americans now support nuclear power as well.
The radical environmental groups haven’t given up, and they will surely try another comeback. They’re now blaming forest fires on climate change – even though globally there has been no upward trend in recent decades despite the deadly fires in North America this summer.
One country that hasn’t backed off the green energy fad is Germany. What a debacle. Once the manufacturing and engineering hub of Europe, the country has deindustrialized without access to cheap fossil fuels. It’s spent nearly half a trillion dollars on “Energiewende” wind turbines – while shutting off much of its natural gas usage. Its power costs are now nearly double what the rest of Europe and the U.S. companies pay. Factories are shutting down.
The collapse of the net-zero movement here at home is a victory for economic reality, common sense and American energy abundance.

The annual back-to-school ritual this year is happening amid a rash of school closures due to empty classrooms. In California, 79 public schools closed in 2025, and so far this year 73 public schools have already closed.
This same pattern is occurring in other Democrat-controlled states. In Illinois, for example, 72 Illinois public schools have closed in the past five years, despite a moratorium on school closures in Chicago; among the 397 Illinois districts having at least 1,000 students, there was an enrollment decline in 345 of them between 2019 and 2025.
Led by the potential Democrat presidential candidate Gov. JB Pritzker, Illinois public schools lost 136,000 students during that six-year period. Charter schools, which the Democrats limit mostly to their constituents in Chicago, have also seen an enrollment decline as many families have moved away from the state and its liberal policies.
California’s San Jose Unified public school district has lost 22% of its enrollment since 2015-16, and has closed five schools entirely. Enrollment in the Los Angeles Unified has fallen by 17,000 kids in just one year, while closing or consolidating 14 public schools due to the declining number of students.
The Democrat-controlled states of New York, California and Illinois comprise a total of 44% of the total decline in public-school enrollment nationwide since 2019. Only 10 states – nine of them conservative including Idaho, Alabama, Texas and Florida – had an increase or no change in public-school enrollment between 2019 and 2025.
Meanwhile, many states have begun limiting or prohibiting the use of cellphones by kids who remain in public school. Both liberal and conservative states have enacted “bell-to-bell” bans on students using cellphones while in school.
When students are glued all day to their handheld digital devices, they are not interacting with fellow students or paying attention to instruction. High-school boys are using their phones to gamble on sporting events, which is not a pathway to success.
New York, Virginia, Georgia (K-8) and Oklahoma have all enacted bell-to-bell bans on cell phone use by students at public school. Rhode Island has gone even further by prohibiting any physical access by students to personal electronic devices, with some exceptions.
The growing concern by parents about the amount of “screen time” spent by kids on electronic devices is supported by studies showing the harm. Iowa HF 2451 (which became HF 2685), proposed limiting the amount of instruction using computer screens to a maximum of 60 minutes per day through the fifth grade, but has not yet passed, while other legislators in other states including New Mexico have raised similar concerns about too much screen time.
This is a sea change in public education, which embraced donations of computers such as Chromebooks as a way to supposedly make learning more efficient. Many conservatives opposed the high-tech invasion of computers into the classroom, and they were right.
Despite these growing bans, as of last year, 88% of public schools were providing a computer to every student, as discovered by a survey conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics. In one anecdote retold by CNN, a middle school social studies teacher did not teach a single lesson the entire year, and instead had students merely doing computer-based exercises.
Chronic, substantial absenteeism has been a known problem in public schools since the pandemic, and it is hardly surprising that many students fail to show up today in schools relying on screen time. Absenteeism increases in public school by grade level, rising from 14% in fifth grade to 32% by the 12th grade.
Private school enrollment is increasing only where funded by school-choice programs, as in Texas where that state’s new initiative begins this month. More than 274,000 students applied for this special funding there, many of whom remain on the waiting list due to a cap in this program.
Students attending a participating private school in Texas can receive $10,500 per student annually. A homeschooled student can receive $2,000 each year in Texas, while an average of $8,000 is made available for qualified expenses to homeschoolers in Florida.
Early data indicate that roughly 36,000 of the applicants in Texas were public school students seeking to switch over to private schools through use of these new Texas Education Freedom Accounts. They can attend religiously affiliated private schools with this funding, including Muslim schools to which some Texans have objected.
Texas initially appropriated $1 billion to fund this initiative, which could be increased in its next legislative session that opens in January. Texas has a large budgetary surplus available to expand this program, if deemed successful.
Conservative North Dakota is another oil-rich state that has plenty of funds to allocate toward a school-choice program, but so far has declined to do so. The Texas experiment that starts this month could decide whether North Dakota and other wealthy states adopt a similar approach.

It was another day of joint practices around the NFL on Thursday with more fights between teams, including one between the Miami Dolphins and New York Giants that apparently featured someone taking a swing at quarterback Jameis Winston.And, yes, this feels like it should be the tipping point because once Winston got in the scrum and apparently leveled someone, someone else took a swipe at him. And that led Giants starting quarterback Jaxson Dart to jump in.”I just looked over and saw the red 19 jersey (which is Winston) and I was like, ‘I got to go,'” Dart said. “I got to go help my boy! I don’t know what’s going on over there.”MASSIVE BRAWL AT COWBOYS AND SAINTS PRACTICE INCLUDES PUNCHES AND WWE MOVESThe NFL has had enough. Well, sort of.The league levied $500,000 fines against both the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints on Thursday, one day after the teams were involved in a serious brawl.The NFL noted that its Competition Committee has made sportsmanship, including conduct during joint practices, a point of emphasis in recent years. The league also reminded all 32 teams of that emphasis this summer.So, the hefty fines are a solid attempt to curb the violence. But they don’t go far enough.This week’s brawl should make one thing clear to both the NFL and NFL Players Association: players themselves need to face fines for misconduct during training camp practices, just as they do during preseason and regular-season games.So you are aware, Thursday marked the fourth consecutive day that teams holding joint practices got into fights, scuffles, skirmishes, whatever noun you wish to use.BRONCOS QB BO NIX GETS IN A FIGHT AT PRACTICE, HANDLES IT LIKE AN ULTIMATE FOOTBALL GUYThe Eagles and Patriots went at it the past couple of days, even though both coaches warned their teams to abstain before the practice sessions.”I don’t want anybody fighting,” Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said. “I don’t want our guys fighting in practice. I don’t want them throwing punches.””They get thrown out of the game when those things happen,” Vrabel added.Anyway, at the Bears joint practice with the Bengals on Thursday, we had multiple scuffles. The big one came when Bears receiver Ray-Ray McCloud seemed to throw a punch at a Bengals defensive back, after which multiple Bengals players piled on top of him.And then there was the brawling in Miami Gardens, where the Giants and Dolphins held a joint practice.Multiple players from both teams were removed from the practice for throwing punches or seemingly causing others to throw punches. Multiple players were removed or benched.And that punishment was supposed to serve to calm matters going forward.But here’s the thing: Getting any part of a hot, muggy, uncomfortable workout off is not the punishment coaches think it is. For some players, especially veterans, it’s a welcome reprieve.And having the club fined is also not going to cause individual players to curtail their emotions or not defend themselves against actual or perceived wrongs.Players are simply not going to hold back because their coaches say, or the NFL is fining their beloved club.The only way teams and the NFL are going to address this issue successfully is with fines to the players themselves. If the teams aren’t going to go there, then the NFL should step in.Players don’t generally act this way in regular-season or preseason games because it draws a fine for them. From their paychecks.The league’s own compliance guidance explicitly says its enforcement staff oversees player conduct during preseason, regular-season and postseason games, and specifically identifies fighting as conduct within its jurisdiction.Not so in joint practices.So the NFL took a notable step on Thursday. But players are quite likely to continue engaging in joint practice skirmishes until it costs them money.FOLLOW ARMANDO SALGUERO ON X: @ARMANDOSALGUERO

Since the 1950s, the Jefferson County Fair in West Virginia has been serving up prize pigs, hefty heifers and fried everything for a citizenry that still adores it. As politicians have long known, it is among the best places on Earth to take the temperature of the American voter.Over the two days, while stuffing the old Marcus face with corn dogs and pepperoni rolls, I had expected the political talk to be about prices, or affordability, as the Democratic Socialists and the mainstream media call it. But what most people wanted to talk about was data centers.”I’m a farmer,” Roy, who raises cattle nearby, told me. “Data centers, power lines, all of that, it’s a threat to us. All we’ve got is the land.”FOX NEWS POLL: COOL YOUR SERVERS! VOTERS REJECT DATA CENTERSThis is a sentiment I heard, not just from the regular folks of Jefferson County, but from those who seek to serve them.Jenny Thacker and Marta Beck are both Democrats running for the House of Delegates. While they aren’t completely opposed to data centers in the county, both have issues with how the developments are being implemented.FIRST-EVER MORATORIUM ON AI DATA CENTERS PASSES MAINE LEGISLATURE”We cannot afford to have water taken out of our system, so if we can make a law that says, ‘Yes, you can use surface water, but you cannot use well water,’ that goes a long way to protecting our ground water,” Thacker said.For Beck’s part, her concern was that “They [the state] have taken away local control from the municipalities.” That word, “control,” really lies at the heart of this debate, not just in West Virginia, but everywhere I travel in the country.TEXAS GOV. GREG ABBOTT EFFECTIVELY PAUSES NEW DATA CENTER PROJECTS PENDING STATEWIDE GRID AUDITAlso at the fair, was Tamara Thompson, vice president of We The People of Jefferson County, one of the original Tea Party groups still exerting power in the Mountaineer State. She said she has been getting an earful about data centers.”I hear a lot of people being against it [data centers],” Thompson said, noting that many complain of noise pollution. “I like boots on the ground, so going there and hearing whether or not there is an export of extreme sounds was something I took personal, and I didn’t experience that.”SILICON VALLEY IS LOSING THE DATA CENTER FIGHT, RISKING A REPEAT OF A CLASSIC FAILUREOne fairgoer, Sarah, a retired teacher, put it rather succinctly: “I guess we need ‘em,” she quipped holding up her phone, “but nobody wants ‘em.”What became clear, through Tuesday’s demolition derby and Wednesday’s antique tractor pull, is that data centers are a real issue, but also the Platonic form of a first-world problem.KEVIN O’LEARY WARNS CHINA IS WINNING THE AI RACE BECAUSE U.S. STATES ARE SLOWING DATA CENTER PRODUCTIONThat isn’t meant dismissively. Sometimes first-world problems are more intractable than third-world ones. But this is a crisis of opportunity, not lack thereof.Mickey Reagan is running to be a Jefferson County Commissioner. I chatted with a few volunteers at her tent, and when I asked what the top issue they were hearing about from voters was, the answer was a telling single word: growth.‘BACKYARD BRAWL’ IGNITES AS WEST VIRGINIA’S MORRISEY MOVES TO POACH BLUE STATE RIVAL SPANBERGER’S JOBSWith my eyebrows slightly knitted I said, “Wait, do you mean not enough growth or, like, too much growth and the county can’t handle it?”Without a beat they said, “Too much growth.”AMERICA’S BROKEN PERMITTING SYSTEM IS QUIETLY RAISING YOUR COST OF LIVINGIt isn’t as crazy as it may sound. In the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, it seems a hundred new houses go up every day, but not a hundred new roads, or wells, or schools. Data Centers, on the other hand, can pop up like weeds.The main takeaway I got from both Democrats and Republicans enjoying their funnel cake was that they want local control and they don’t trust big tech as far as a baby calf could pull it. How can we blame them?FOX NEWS POLL: MOVE OVER BIG BROTHER, VOTERS SEE BIG TECH AS GREATER THREAT TO USIn the fast-as-lightning tech sector, when regulation lags behind innovation, we wind up with 12-year-olds watching hardcore pornography on their phones, not because we chose it, but because we let it happen.For Republicans nationally, there is good news coming from the fair. Two years ago, before Trump’s restoration, all people could talk about at such events was how much everything costs, there was little time to spare for debate on the relative value of data centers.Today, for Americans in West Virginia, and across the nation, we are not in an economic crisis. We are doing okay. The issue is not keeping our heads above water, but rather how to responsibly ride the rising tide.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DAVID MARCUS

James O’Keefe on Thursday released undercover video of an Anchorage, Alaska, poll worker offering him Senator Lisa Murkowski’s brother’s ballot.
Recall that RINO Murkowski was one of the Senators who opposed the SAVE America Act which would require voter ID.
An Anchorage poll worker also offered Lisa Murkowski’s State Director, Karina Waller’s ballot without an ID on Tuesday’s primary.
“I did not check in as Brian Murkowski, cast a ballot, or sign his name. We documented what happened when I gave his name, said I had no ID, and asked whether Brian could still vote,” James O’Keefe said.
“Would it be possible to vote without it [ID]?” O’Keefe asked the poll worker.
“Absolutely possible!” the poll worker said.

Senator Lisa Murkowski called for James O’Keefe to be prosecuted.
“Senator Murkowski has consistently supported the requirement of photo ID to vote, and earlier this month, she voted in favor of a separate measure on the Senate floor to do just that,” Murkowski said.
She continued, “However, the SAVE America Act is an overly burdensome, one-size-fits-all mandate from Washington.”
Murkowski then called for James O’Keefe to be prosecuted.
“In any case, voter impersonation is a crime and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Murkowski said.

The Dem ‘Big Tent Party’ Is Doomed

Authored by Noel Williams via AmericanThinker.com,

Towards the end of every calendar year, various colleges publish lists of overused words and phrases. Though it is only August, here’s an obvious entrant for 2026: “big tent party.”

Invoking that tired phrase is part of the sophistry that “establishment” Dems contrive to outwit dumb fake-news hosts. It is an attempt to obfuscate concerns about the commie takeover of their party. Publicly and performatively, they pretend to welcome the commies because they are a “big tent party.”

Wrong! They are a “folding tent” party when it comes to their historical raison d’être; indeed, common-sense Republicans have co-opted much of their traditional ethnic and working-class base.

Even if their big tent bulges at the seams, what’s the point if the big top ring is swamped with commie clowns who turn it into a chaotic circus?

What’s the point of a party that lacks a clear mission or coherent principles?

The answer: to spite common-sense conservatives. To thwart Republicans for the sake of it. But what’s the point of that?

As the commie clowns usurp the circus ringmaster, they’re effectively chucking sticky pies into the faces of the supposedly establishment Dems. Even leftist Hakeem Obama-wannabee Jeffries has been splattered with sugary goop. He admits he’s against several of the commie demands; in fact, he doesn’t support the DSA platform at all.

Again, I ask: what’s the point in welcoming in commie clowns who run amok? I know TDS is debilitating, but do they really hate an America First President more than soul-destroying commies? They are anti-American, but are they also anti-human? Get some perspective, please.

When it comes to the more “moderate” Dems, perhaps the likes of Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) and John Fetterman (D-PA), the policy gulf is even wider. If one considers the political spectrum, they may tilt somewhat closer to conservative than commie (admittedly, Fetterman votes Dem most of the time, but I can’t see much comity with the commies).

This is not to say that a big tent can’t remain steadfast. Ronald Reagan managed it, and President Trump expanded traditional Republican constituencies. The difference is they coalesce around all-American common-sense principles that have helped make us the most inventive and prosperous country ever. Genius combined with copious common sense made America great.

The Dem big top tent is crumbling under the weight of the commie onslaught. The DSA-endorsed candidates may have a “D” by their name, but it should be “C.” After all, there was once a time when even Dems supported America; conversely, the commies they now invite in want to overthrow us. How do they belong on the same playing field, let alone in the same tent?

I’m an average, commonsense dude, but I’m telling the pretentious intellectuals and highfalutin linguists right now:  recommend ditching the phrase “big tent party.” It was useful for Reagan, and even Trump, who both ushered in a bright “Morning again in America,” but has become a ludicrous trope for the demented Dems. They are lacking a positive platform, so the Communist Manifesto will fill the vacuum.

One presumes the ultimate purpose in their big tent is simply to defeat Republicans. Be careful what you wish for — the commies within will turn on you. They always do. As the old saying goes: “United we stand, divided we fall.” As with communism, the Dem big tent is doomed to fall. They’d be advised to break commie camp in a more orderly fashion.
