A high school boy in Laguna Beach, California, was suspended after being accosted for wearing a MAGA hat in honor of Charlie Kirk.

Laguna Beach is a liberal enclave in mostly conservative Orange County, California.

Zach Hornstein wore a MAGA hat on campus at Laguna Beach High School last Thursday to honor Charlie Kirk, just one day after the TPUSA founder was assassinated at an event at Utah Valley University.

Hornstein said a girl grabbed his MAGA hat and threw it into the trash in the girls’ restroom. The girl used profanities to attack Trump.

He then jokingly told a group of girls to leave the country if they didn’t like the US.

“I made a joke towards them and said, ‘If you don’t like it here, Canada’s open borders, feel free to go,’” Zach Hornstein told Fox 11.

This is when a teacher lied about what Zach Hornstein said to the group of girls.

“They’re saying I told a group of girls to go back to where they came from, which I never said that,” Hornstein told Fox 11. “When they called in the girl that was involved, she literally told them that I never said that.”

Hornstein’s mother blasted the school and said her son was targeted for his conservative political beliefs.

“I think it’s a double standard,” Hornstein’s mother, Janet Semenova, said. “I think kids who have certain political beliefs are held to a different standard than kids who have other political beliefs.”

Service members are urged to report any adverse health events that occurred after the 2021 COVID-19 shot to a national database.

On September 17, Lieutenant Colonel Theresa Long, an Army flight surgeon and whistleblower, used X to encourage active duty, reserve, or National Guard personnel from any branch of the Armed Forces or Coast Guard who experienced negative reactions following a COVID-19 shot or encountered an unforeseen health change post-shot to submit a Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

ATTENTION
If you are or were an active duty, reserve or national gaurd servicemember in any branch of the Armed Forces or Coast Guard who suffered an adverse event after COVID-19 vaccine or a had an unexpected change in health after vaccination and a Vaccine Adverse Event Report…

— Theresa M Long, MD, MPH, FS (@LTCTheresaLong) September 17, 2025

LTC Long is a flight surgeon in the Army who stepped forward as a whistleblower to express her concerns regarding the military’s mandate for the COVID-19 shot and subsequently submitted an affidavit asserting that the health of military pilots was negatively impacted by the shot.

In recent years, LTC Long and Ted Macie, a retired Navy Medical Service Corps officer, have both presented data to various government and military entities. The data indicates a 151 percent rise in myocarditis, a 41.2 percent increase in pulmonary embolism, a 37.7 percent rise in other heart-related complications, among other significant findings retrieved from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED).

After the Undersecretary of Defense and Defense Health Agency acknowledged the data to be accurate in an official memo and on record House Armed Services Committee (HASC) hearing, a December 2023 letter sent to former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin from Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI). The letter referenced an article written by J.M. Phelps, in which Macie revealed a rise in several other unusual medical diagnoses sourced from DMED. These included a 7,400 percent rise in water transport accidents, a 526 percent uptick in land transport vehicle accidents, and additional incidents. Was this incorrect information inputted into the database, or were there attributing neurological problems linked to the shot?

Austin did not provide Sen. Johnson with any useful information concerning the diagnoses.

In response to Long’s post, Macie informed The Gateway Pundit that it is crucial for service members in the mentioned categories to adhere to her request. He explained, “This information can be used to verify, or corroborate, data concerning the adverse effects of the shot.”

In addition, he said, “DMED data is not public but bringing it to VAERS would make it public.” For service members and veterans, Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is not shared via VAERS.

Macie offered, “If doctors failed to report adverse events accurately, or even report some injuries at all, VAERS provides the opportunity for those negatively affected to report it.”

Having had an opportunity to witness War Secretary Pete Hegseth’s reaction to those adversely affected by the shot, Macie is convinced, “[Hegseth] is not only concerned about the persecution of those who objected to the shot, but also those who were injured by the shot.”

“I think he wants to make all this right, but he’s up against people bad actors at the Pentagon, Big Pharma and all these political powerhouses, that still want to shut him down,” he shared.

Members of the active duty, reserves, and National Guard are now tasked with helping LTC Long and Secretary of War Hegseth achieve their goals. If a change in health or any negative event occurred after receiving the COVID-19 shot, Macie emphasized the importance of service members responding to LTC Long’s request: “Please go online and complete a VAERS report right away, providing as much detail as you can.”

The ADL is in hot water after President Trump designates Antifa a “major terrorist organization”. 

Guest post by Ezequiel Doiny

On September 17, 2025 the Gateway Pundit reported on President Trump on Wednesday evening announcing the designation of Antifa as a “major terrorist organization.”

I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The ADL is now in hot water too after President Trump designated Antifa a “major terrorist organization.”

The ADL has been hijacked by leftist operatives and  is now an anti-MAGA organization used  to suppress voices critical of the leftist agenda.

On September 18, 2023 the National File reported “ADL Coordinated Closely with Violent ‘Antifa’ Group American Iron Front”

An employee of the left-wing Jewish pressure group, the Anti-Defamation League has been identified as a close associate of the Antifa-adjacent American Iron Front, a black bloc group that advocates for the use of chemical and biological weapons against their political opponents.

John Zack Ortiz, a 24-year-old UC Berkley graduate and coordinator for ADL Central Pacific, has associated closely with the American Iron Front, a violent left-wing organization that calls for the murder of its political opponents.

Ortiz has been described as acting as a “liaison” between the ADL and the AIF and using his standing within the groups to send information both ways and to keep AIF members up to date on the latest ADL intel, which the group has then used to harass its political opponents online.  In AIF chat groups, where he was known as “johnyz715”, Ortiz flaunted his work with the ADL and his LinkedIn profile identifies him as an ADL “regional coordinator…”

The ADL’s “regional coordinator” John Ortiz speaks against MAGA in his linkedin profile. Please see image below.

The ADL has been hijacked by left wing operatives who are more concerned in fighting MAGA than antisemitism. The ADL is an anti-Maga organization, not an organization which main goal is to fight antisemitism.

The Iron Front group is an anti-Maga organization, it is not surprising that one of its operatives has been employed as a “regional coordinator” by the ADL.

On September 12, 2022 ZOA condemned the ADL for “departures from ADL’s primary stated mission of combatting antisemitism.”  Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein and ZOA Director of Research and Special Projects Liz Berney, Esq. released the following statement:

A recent Fox News investigation found that the Anti-Defamation League (ADL)’s educational and “anti-bias” programs, which influence millions of American children and thousands of educators and officials, promote far-left and critical race theory (CRT) concepts such as “white privilege” and “systemic racism,” and promote groups such as the Women’s March and BLM – despite the virulent Jew-hating, Israel-hating and pro-Farrakhan positions of the Women’s March leaders and BLM/M4BL organization.

The investigation also found that these harmful ADL programs characterize denying white privilege as a “biased attitude”; encourage white students to view themselves as “oppressors”; and include an article indicating that white women are “justly seen as oppressive” and “enjoy unearned skin privilege,” etc, etc.

Unfortunately, this is nothing new. After Obama senior advisor Jonathan Greenblatt became ADL’s CEO in 2015, Greenblatt “refocused” ADL on far-left partisan political, legal and educational advocacy. For years, ZOA and others have raised alarm bells about ADL’s and Greenblatt’s dangerous far-left advocacy and numerous departures from ADL’s primary stated mission of combatting antisemitism…

On Thursday, President Trump and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer spoke to the press following a historic meeting.

While speaking to the press, President Trump announced that his administration is “trying” to get the former U.S. Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan “back” from the Taliban.

Trump criticized Biden’s chaotic and disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

In 2021, Joe Biden abandoned Afghanistan’s Bagram Airfield after nearly 20 years by shutting off the electricity and slipping away in the night without notifying the base’s Afghan commander, who discovered the Americans’ secret departure more than two hours after they left.

The Taliban quickly took control of Bagram, which is only 30 miles north of Kabul, on August 15th of 2021, and released thousands of terrorists held at its prison. Days later, Islamic terrorists killed 173 Afghans and 13 Americans at the Kabul Airport.

Biden also left billions of dollars’ worth of U.S. military equipment and supplies behind in the hands of the Taliban.

In May, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced a full investigation into Biden’s deadly failure.

Although China has denied it, there are reports that the communist nation may be posturing to take over the abandoned base.

Trump told reporters, “They just went through the Afghanistan total disaster, for no reason whatsoever. We’re going to leave Afghanistan, but we are going to leave it with strength and dignity. We’re going to keep Bagram, the big airbase, one of the biggest airbases in the world.”

“We gave it to them for nothing. We’re trying to get it back, by the way. That could be a little breaking news.”

“We’re trying to get it back because they need things from us. We want that base back.”

“But one of the reasons we want the base is, as you know, it’s an hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons.”

Watch:

Thanks to President Donald Trump’s leadership, families are finally catching a break at the grocery store as prices for eggs, bread, vegetables, and fruit ease. But at America’s dinner table, staples like ground beef, steak, and ribs are being priced as luxuries – and the U.S.-Mexico cattle crisis is to blame.

How so?

The U.S. normally imports about a million head of cattle from Mexico each year. These aren’t finished animals ready for slaughter, but feeder cattle – young stock that American ranchers fatten in feedlots before they become the steaks and burgers we put on the grill.

In 2025, however, that supply has slowed to a trickle.

The culprit? A deadly parasite known as the New World Screwworm, and its rapid spread through southern Mexico has forced the U.S. to impose bans and heavy restrictions on live cattle imports.

As a result, ports of entry in Texas, Arizona and New Mexico that once handled thousands of cattle now sit idle.

And for hardworking Americans, the outlook is grim: the U.S. Department of Agriculture projects beef prices will climb by 10 percent this year, with staples like ground beef and steak rising even higher. With fewer cattle entering the U.S. market, supply is tightening – and families are paying the price.

The cattle crisis, however, is exposing a bigger problem: a food security emergency as our domestic cattle herd has shrunk to a 70-year low.

For years, Washington’s overreliance on foreign cattle masked the cracks in our own system. Now, instead of serving as a safety valve, the southern border has become a choke point – strangling America’s beef supply.

And food isn’t optional. I’ve been friends with President Donald Trump since 1979, and I know he’s a man who loves a good steak. If beef becomes unaffordable, working families will be forced into impossible choices: a burger for the kids, a steak for a spouse, or keeping the lights on.

But all is not lost. By working with Mexico to stamp out the screwworm outbreak at its source – and by fast-tracking safe, inspected cattle across the border – we can keep healthy animals from being needlessly stuck in limbo.

At the same time, we must stand shoulder to shoulder with America’s ranchers – cutting red tape, lowering feed costs and giving them the tools to rebuild our herds and secure our beef supply for the future.

Because food security is national security – and a nation that cannot feed its families cannot remain strong.
