30-year-old Kai-ji Adam Lo was identified as the man who drove his vehicle through the Lapu Lapu Filipino festival in Vancouver on Saturday killing eleven people.

The attack took place in the evening. Multiple people were injured.

Vancouver police ruled out a terrorist attack.

Kai-ji Lo was charged with eight counts of murder according to the Vancouver Sun.

Lo reportedly had a history of mental illness. According to Canadian media, Kai-ji Lo’s brother was murdered last year and his mother later tried to commit suicide.

The investigation is ongoing.

The New York Post reported:

The suspect accused of fatally mowing down 11 festival attendees when he plowed through a crowd of people at a block party in Vancouver was identified as local man Kai-Ji Adam Lo, authorities said Sunday night.

Lo, of Vancouver, is facing eight counts of second-degree murder so far after his alleged rampage at the Lapu Lapu Day festival – celebration of the Filipino community – Saturday night.

The 30-year-old was arrested at the scene by authorities and was “known” to law enforcement and mental health care professionals before he allegedly carried out his deadly attack, Vancouver police said.

The alleged killer has a history of mental health problems and investigators believe the destructive driving was not terror-related, cops previously said.

A 30-year-old man murdered at least nine people and injured several more when he drove his car through the Lapu Lapu festival in Vancouver on Friday.

Twerking on cars is nothing new in St. Louis.

In 2021 BLM protesters were stopping police cars and twerking on their roofs.

Classy.

Elite Universities Form ‘Private Collective’ to Resist Trump’s Crackdown on Higher Education

Elite Universities Form ‘Private Collective’ to Resist Trump’s Crackdown on Higher Education

Elite universities have formed a “private collective” to resist President Trump’s crackdown on higher education.

Over recent weeks, the Trump administration has gone to war with several elite universities over their lack of educational and viewpoint diversity, discrimination via DEI and refusal to combat antisemitism.

While Columbia folded to his demands, Harvard has pushed back against the administration and attempted to frame Trump’s threats to remove federal funding as an assault on the university’s independence.

To try and protect themselves, elite universities are now teaming up to try and create a united front against the White House.

The Wall Street Journal reports:

The informal group currently includes about 10 schools, including Ivies and leading private research universities, mostly in blue states. Strategy discussions gained momentum after the administration’s recent list of demands for sweeping cultural change at Harvard, viewed by many universities as an assault on independence.
The collective, as some are calling it, represents a separate, quiet and potentially more potent effort than recent public resolutions from university-aligned groups.
The group comprises figures at the highest levels, including individual trustees and presidents.
Maintaining close contact, they have discussed red lines they won’t cross in negotiations and have gamed out how to respond to different demands presented by the Trump administration, which has frozen or canceled billions in research funding at schools it says haven’t effectively combated antisemitism on their campuses.
The group’s aim is to avoid the fate of some top law firms, where one deal led to others following suit. The universities want to make sure other schools don’t go so far as to strike deals that create a worrisome precedent that others would be under pressure to follow, say the people familiar with the effort.

One major fear among the collective are reports that Trump could escalate his crackdown on Harvard by targeting the flow of international students and faculty, which many elite schools have come to rely on for tuition revenue and prestige.

This prospect is said to have sent shockwaves through university leadership, who now see their business models under threat.

There are also plans to rescind Harvard’s tax-exempt status, which currently saves the instutition billions of dollars a year.

Should Harvard’s lawsuit fail, the collective fears that more schools will be forced to comply and that the left-wing strangehold over higher education will finally be broken.

James O’Keefe Announces Massive Bombshell Dropping Soon… Government Officials Caught on Camera, Billions of Dollars in Corruption Exposed (VIDEO)

James O’Keefe

James O’Keefe of the O’Keefe Media Group said he is dropping a massive bombshell within the next month or so.

O’Keefe said what he is releasing is bigger than his work exposing ACORN.

“This is ACORN 2.0? Or is it bigger?” podcast host Benny Johnson asked O’Keefe.

James O’Keefe said it’s much bigger.

“No, it’s much bigger because we’re talking about corrupt government… Billions of dollars – tens of billions… stay tuned,” O’Keefe said.

“I have these people breaking the law,” O’Keefe said.

WATCH:

James O’Keefe also said there is more to come on Epstein.

In 2009 James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles went undercover posing as a boyfriend/pimp and prostitute. They secretly recorded workers at several ACORN offices advising them on evading taxes.

The radical leftist organization, which worked with Barack Obama, lost its IRS contracts and most of its funding because of O’Keefe’s undercover sting operation.

James O’Keefe also helped expose the Democrats’ ActBlue money laundering scheme, which federal prosecutors are currently investigating.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported on the thousands of donation mules donating to Democrat Raphael Warnock from across the country.

In 2020, millions of dollars were reportedly donated to BLM after George Floyd was killed.  At the same time, 20+ police officers were killed and American cities suffered nearly $2 billion in record damages following the George Floyd riots.

The Gateway Pundit was the first to report that ActBlue was raising money using BLM as its front group.  ActBlue is the Democrats’ funding apparatus.  We know this from our early reporting and from the fact that BLM later admitted this. Black Lives Matter announced in February 2022 that the organization was deactivating its fundraising pages on ActBlue.  This was after the Washington Examiner exposed that BLM was still accepting donations on the Democratic platform despite claiming it had stopped amid questions about its finances.

Stay tuned!
