The Gateway Pundit recently reported on a gunman who opened fire at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on McCandlish Rd. in Grand Blanc, MI. At the time of our initial report, 6-8 victims of the gunman had been taken to the hospital, although the exact toll had not yet been confirmed. The church caught fire during the incident, triggering a massive four-alarm emergency response.

At a press conference only moments ago, Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye identified the suspect of the mass shooting inside the Mormon Church as a 40-year-old man from Burton, a neighboring city just outside Grand Blanc, roughly 60 miles north of Detroit.

Chief Renye said the gunman, a 40-year-old male from nearby Burton, Michigan, drove his vehicle into the church and began to open fire on the parishioners inside. The shooter was shot and killed by local law enforcement, including an armed DNR agent, and was killed in the exchange of fire with officers.

The police chief has confirmed that the 10 gunshot victims were transported to local hospitals and that one of the victims has died from his injuries by the gunman.

Investigators believe the 40-year-old man from Burton acted alone, armed with an assault rifle. According to Renye, the suspect rammed his vehicle through the church’s front doors before opening fire on parishioners and then “deliberately” setting the building ablaze.

Watch Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye’s most recent press conference here:

The Grand Blanc police chief told the media he does believe they will find additional victims inside the fire, as law enforcement believes some of the victims were unable to get out of the burning church, but said “We have no idea at this time,” how many victims may have been trapped inside. He also stated that the FBI has been active in helping them to investigate the crime.

A large Christian Trump-supporting Michigan family, who once starred in a TLC reality show, has suffered an unimaginable tragedy.

The local sheriff’s office also released a statement on the accident:

The Tuscola County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 2 vehicle “Unknown” crash on Deckerville Rd near Hurds Corner Rd on 09-26-2025 at 2102 hours. Callers on scene advised there were multiple injuries.

TCSO arrived on scene with multiple agencies (Fire, EMS and Police) and rendered aide.

TCSO learned a 55 y/o Florida man was driving a loaded commercial semi truck, with 1 female passenger, southbound on Hurds Corner Rd when it failed to stop at a stop sign. The Semi truck collided with a Jeep traveling eastbound on Deckerville Rd. The eastbound vehicle was occupied by 8 Cass City Residents.

Of the 8 occupants in the Jeep, 3 were pronounced deceased on scene. All other occupants of the Jeep were transported to respective hospitals by helicopter and MMR, some in critical condition.

The driver and passenger of the semi truck were transported to the hospital for minor injuries. The driver of the semi truck was subsequently arrested and a report is being forwarded to the Prosecutor for formal charges.

This remains an active investigation and names will not be released at this time. We are asking the public to please pay more attention when driving. We are having far too many crashes that are destroying people’s lives.

The Caro, Michigan Putman clan, who once starred in their own TLC reality television show, were struck by a semi-truck driven by a 55-year-old Florida man on Friday night. According to police, the semi-truck driver blew through a stop sign and struck their Jeep filled with 8 family members. Three of the family members, including the matriarch and patriarch of the family, Bill and Barb Putman, were instantly killed.

In addition to Bill “Papa” Putman and his wife, Barb, or “Neenee,” their daughter-in-law, Megan (shown in Facebook photo below), the wife of Dr. Blake Putman, was also killed in the horrific crash in Cass City near their home.

Five additional members of the Putman family were also inside the vehicle that was smashed into and were rushed to the hospital by ambulance and air-lifted from the scene by helicopter.

Noah Putman (left), Dr. Blake Putman (standing next to his now-deceased wife, Megan), and Lillian “Lulu” Putman (right) are all being treated for serious injuries. A video was recently shared on the Putman family Facebook page, celebrating Lulu’s 13th birthday.

The Putman family released a photo on Facebook of Noah Putman, asking for prayers for his recovery. Noah, whose mother was killed in the accident, is reportedly fighting for his life in the hospital.

Gia Putman, daughter of Brandon Putman is also in the hospital and is in serious condition. The Putman family has asked for everyone’s prayers.

Yesterday, less than 24 hours after the tragic accident, the popular Christian family shared the following statement, asking for prayers for the injured members of their family and to remind people that God is in control:

Dear Friends and Family,

I come to you with a heavy heart asking for your prayers. Our family was in a tragic car accident and we lost Papa, Neenee, and Aunt Megan. They have gone home to be with the Lord. Please keep Uncle Blake, Lulu, Alena, Noah, and Gia in your prayers as they remain in the hospital, we are asking for complete healing and strength for each of them.

My entire family Papa, Neenee, Billy, Jen, Brandon, Kacie, Blake, Megan, Jamie, Blair, myself (Isabelle), Abby, Emma, Addison, Bella, Mercy, Gabby, Noah, Mya, Nova, Lulu, Alena, Gia, Jonah, Eli, Solomon, Uriah, Samson, Luke, and Anna-all proclaim that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. He is our hope, our peace, and our salvation. Even in this time of heartbreak, we rest in knowing that God is in control.

We are holding onto the peace Jesus promised in John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you… Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” And we trust the truth of Romans 8:28: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose. ” Our greatest comfort is found in the Gospel itself-that Jesus died for our sins so that we may have eternal life with Him (John 3:16,
Romans 5:8).

Because of that sacrifice, we know Papa, Neenee, and Aunt Megan are not gone forever. They are alive and whole in Heaven, standing before Jesus, hearing the words we all long to hear:

“Well done, my good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:23).

We ask for your continued prayers for Uncle Blake, Lulu, Alena, Noah, and Gia as they recover, and for our whole family as we walk through this deep loss. Even in this valley, we will praise Him. We trust that His plan is perfect, and that one day, we will be reunited in Heaven.

Thank you for every prayer, message, and act of love. Your support means more than words can express. Please continue to lift us up, that our hearts remain fixed on the truth that Jesus conquered death so we could have eternal life.

Romans 10:9 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

With God’s Love,
The Putmans

The senior Putman couple owned the large home that they constructed so their children and grandchildren could all live with them. Their unusual living arrangements attracted the attention of the TLC network, which produced a reality TV show about the close-knit family.

Here is a clip from their show 8 years ago:

Meshawn Maddock, wife of MI State Representative Matt Maddock and victim of AG Dana Nessel lawfare against the MI GOP alternate electors, shared her thoughts on the horrific accident that took the lives of 3 beautiful Christian family members of the Putman family and left 5 members of the family fighting for their lives:

Back in 2019, Bill Putman Sr invited me to meet for coffee in Frankenmuth, Michigan. I remember being surprised when I walked in and there were seven Putnam family members all sitting at the table!  Just by chance, I had brought my 18-year-old daughter, Parker, who was working on the Trump Campaign. That first meeting was pretty intense! More like an interview than anything else! The Putmans we learned, were very serious about Jesus, family, and politics. We have loved to watch their fierce loyalty to each other and an incredible work Ethic. Bill Jr and his family have stayed close with Parker and I know that has been a blessing in her life. We haven’t always been on the same side of candidates or issues, but I can say with experience that if the Putmans say “we’re here to help,” they show up with a powerful TEAM. Our family will not stop praying for the entire family; only faith can get them through this.

Please pray for the souls of Bill, Barb, and Megan Putman and for the complete recovery of the other 5 members of the Putman family who were victims of the horrific accident.

President Trump announced Saturday that, at the request of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, he was directing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to send troops to Portland to protect the city and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities.

Trump said he was also authorizing “full force, if necessary.”

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin justified the request by citing weeks of violent riots at ICE facilities, assaults on law enforcement, and the terrorist attack at an ICE facility in Dallas.

A DHS release noted three anti-ICE incidents in Portland in late June and said rioters have repeatedly attacked the city’s processing center.

Protests outside Portland’s federal ICE detention facility have been ongoing since June, with flareups on July 4 and Labor Day. Many turned violent, prompting tear gas deployment and temporary facility closures.

As expected, the usual suspects, liberals and Democrats, opposed the president’s move to enforce existing laws and defend federal property. Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) told Trump to “stay the hell out” of Portland after the announcement.

Wyden disputed Trump’s claim that ICE facilities were “under siege,” posting a video of a quiet site and insisting the city did not need federal troops.

Social media users quickly challenged Wyden, posting clips of unrest around the facility and pointing out that violence often erupts at night.

Local reports acknowledge that demonstrations have continued throughout the summer.

Leaving law enforcement and federal officers under repeated threat.

The Pentagon confirmed it is prepared to mobilize forces. “We are ready to support DHS operations in Portland at the president’s order,” said Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell.

Trump reiterated that troops would be deployed to protect Portland from antifa and other domestic terrorist groups.

Oregon’s status as a “sanctuary state” complicates matters, since state and local law enforcement are barred from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement.

That leaves federal officers and facilities more vulnerable, underscoring the administration’s rationale for sending in troops.

If the deployment goes ahead, Portland would become the fourth city where Trump has sent military personnel, following Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Memphis.

The current deployment is meant to avoid a repeat of the chaos that gripped Portland during the 2020 George Floyd and BLM riots, when the city became an epicenter of violent unrest.

Demonstrations often turned destructive, with arson, looting, vandalism, and sustained attacks on the downtown federal courthouse.

The city endured 90 consecutive nights of demonstrations, and by late summer, riots were rampant, with most residents coming to view the events as riots rather than legitimate protests.

Protesters also carved out several so-called “autonomous zones.” In Lownsdale Square, near the courthouse, activists pitched tents and barricaded streets, calling the encampment the “Chinook Land Autonomous Territory.”

Another zone, the “Patrick Kimmons Autonomous Zone,” appeared briefly outside Mayor Ted Wheeler’s apartment building before police cleared it at dawn. The most sustained zone was the “Red House on Mississippi,” which lasted several days and covered roughly 2.5 blocks.

It was fortified with homemade booby traps, stockpiles of weapons, and armed guards, trapping apartments, houses, and businesses inside its perimeter.

The economic impact on Portland was immense. The federal courthouse alone sustained $1.6 million in damage. Major retailers closed locations, including Walmart (two stores), Target (three stores), Nike, REI, Starbucks, and Cracker Barrel (three of four Oregon stores).

The city recorded 408 net small-business closures in 2019, with losses continuing through 2020 and 2021. A 2020 business survey reported that 57 percent of businesses saw revenue declines, nightly destruction “eroded the sense of place” downtown, and foot traffic fell 41 percent below May 2019 levels. While comparable cities returned to pre-pandemic employment levels by April 2021, Portland lagged until July 2022.

Despite this record, mainstream media attempted to downplay events, calling them “mostly peaceful” and portraying the autonomous zones as insignificant, “only a fraction of the city.” But. Even if an autonomous zone covered just “two inches of sidewalk,” no part of a city should ever be ceded to lawless protesters.

Contemporary government documents and business data confirm the destruction was broader and more sustained than dismissive media coverage suggested.

The problem in Portland was compounded by a liberal district attorney who refused to prosecute most suspects.

In August 2020, Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt announced that his office would decline to prosecute protest-related cases that did not involve violence, theft, or deliberate property damage.

As a result, more than 90 percent of the approximately 550 arrests between May 29 and August were effectively dismissed.

Federal prosecutors also quietly dropped dozens of cases, with some defendants released after completing only minimal community service, just 30 hours in one instance.

Because local authorities failed to curb the violence, President Trump authorized a workaround.

He deputized local and state law enforcement officers as federal marshals, giving them federal authority and allowing cases to be handled by U.S. prosecutors instead of the county DA.

The U.S. Marshals Service deputized 22 sheriff’s deputies and 56 members of Portland’s Rapid Response Team, with their federal authority extending through the end of 2020. Oregon State Police troopers were also deputized to protect the federal courthouse, replacing federal officers who had withdrawn.

The federal system meant stronger penalties for attacks on federal officers, possibly resulting in federal prison time. Deputization meant Oregon State Police and Portland officers could arrest individuals for federal crimes and turn cases over to federal prosecutors, overriding the DA’s lenient policies.

The federal government had the constitutional authority to take this step. It may deploy officers to protect federal buildings and, when acting within its constitutional authority, can override state or local officials who object.

This allowed federal prosecutors to pursue charges of assault on federal officers, which often carry harsher penalties than local charges.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has announced that he is withdrawing from the race for reelection.

There has long been speculation about the possibility of Adams being offered a position in President Donald Trump’s administration in exchange for dropping out of the race.

Adams announced the news in a video posted to X.

Only in America. Only in New York.
Thank you for making my story a reality. pic.twitter.com/efHuyBnITJ

— Eric Adams (@ericadamsfornyc) September 28, 2025

“Despite all we’ve achieved, I cannot continue my re-election campaign,” Adams says in the video. “The constant media speculation about my future and the campaign finance board’s decision to withhold millions of dollars have undermined my ability to raise the funds needed for a serious campaign.”

Adams told New Yorkers that he hopes they “will see that despite the headlines and the innuendo, I always put you before me.” He also urged whoever wins the race to “continue the work we started, lowering the cost of living, investing in quality of life and staying laser-focused on reducing crime and disorder through investments in policing, mental health, substance abuse care, homelessness services and community-based initiatives.”

“Too often, insidious forces use local government to advance divisive agendas with little regard for how it hurts everyday New Yorkers,” he said. “Major change is welcome and necessary, but beware of those who claim the answer to destroy the very system we built together over generations. That is not change, that is chaos.”

Adams captioned the announcement, “Only in America. Only in New York. Thank you for making my story a reality.”

The frontrunner is Democrat nominee Zohran Mamdani, who is a socialist and has announced plans to implement government-run grocery stores.

With Adams out of the race, it is now between the socialist, grandma-killer Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an independent, and Republican longshot Curtis Sliwa.

Sliwa has claimed that Cuomo backers have attempted to bribe him to drop out of the race.

“There’s no price that can get me out of this race, no amount of money, no bribe, and again, if anybody comes forward on behalf of Andrew Cuomo or anybody else, it will be recorded, and it will be brought to the proper authorities,” Sliwa said during a press conference on Thursday.

Here’s a Detailed List of Over 40 Lies Made By Jim Comey in Private Memos

The following article was published at The Gateway Pundit on April 20, 2018.   It was very clear that Jim Comey, the fired FBI Director, had lied multiple times and we listed over 40 of these lies. 

Notes from Former FBI Head James Comey related to his discussions with President Trump were finally released by the DOJ and FBI last night.

These damning notes follow the release of the DOJ’s IG report less than a week prior that provided evidence that former FBI Head Andrew McCabe lied multiple times, including under oath.  The McCabe report exposed President Obama’s FBI and DOJ as corrupt, dishonest, coordinated and conspiring.  Comey’s notes provide additional support of a very dishonest, conniving and corrupt FBI led by Comey, who set the tone.

L- stands for outright lies

PL – stands for probable lies

2018-4-19 Comey Memo – Enclosure Unclassified by Fox News

Less than a week since the DOJ IG’s report about fired former FBI Head Andrew McCabe, the DOJ and FBI finally released James Comey’s notes as requested by Congress. These notes show a very corrupt, manipulative, conniving and dishonest FBI Director.

A list of the key points in the 15 pages of notes follows –

1.First note that the notes were classified and therefore Comey leaked classified information.

James Comey Memos just out and show clearly that there was NO COLLUSION and NO OBSTRUCTION. Also, he leaked classified information. WOW! Will the Witch Hunt continue?

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 20, 2018

2. The first page of the notes includes perhaps the most damning piece of information from corrupt Comey’s first notes on his meeting on January 6, 2017. After getting the President-elect alone, Comey writes, “I then executed the session exactly as I had planned.”

3. He next states whom the reports were from which is redacted. But then says that he “didn’t want him caught cold by some of the detail.  [PL-1]

4. On page 2 Comey writes the Russians allegedly had tapes. [PL-2]

5.The President immediately said this was false but Comey never released this information.

6. Comey says, “I said I wasn’t say this was true. “[PL-3]…” media like CNN had them” [how did he know and why was he not protecting the President-elect?]…It’s important not to give them “the excuse to write that the FBI had the material” [PL-4]… they [FBI] were keeping it very close [PL-5]

7. Comey admits they were not investigating [President-elect Trump] but it was being said out of Russia [PL-6]

8. Comey also wanted to let him [Trump] know in case it came out in the media. [PL-7]

9. On page 3 begins corrupt Comey’s 2^nd meeting notes with President on January 28, 2017 [shortly after the inauguration].

10. Comey admits he was never relaxed “given the focus his conversation required” [what focus? Why the discomfort?  This doesn’t sound normal for someone without an agenda.]

11. Comey says “I explained that he could count on me to always tell him the truth. [L-8] I said in don’t do sneaky things [L-9], I don’t leak [L-10], I don’t do weasel moves. [L-11] But I was not on anybody’s side politically [L-12].”

12. When the President asked whether the FBI leaks, Comey answered “that FBI leaks far less than people often say”. [L-13]

13. Comey said AG Lynch directed him not to use the word “investigation” [in the Hillary matter].

15. President Trump next asked about McCabe and whether he as a problem with the President and Comey said “he’s a true professional [L-17] and had no problem at all” [L-18 – it was well known in the FBI that McCabe hated Trump].

16. Comey next bashed former Republican AG’s but not Obama’s AG’s Holder or Lynch.

17. President Trump again said the dossier Comey presented to him in the previous meeting was not accurate. Trump noted that he didn’t even stay the night in Russia during the Miss Universe contest when some incidents were said to take place.

18. Comey said, “I wouldn’t want to create a narrative that we were investigating him [L-19 – this went on for months and Comey never once came out and said the President wasn’t under investigation – this is the 2^nd time Comey admits Trump not under investigation.]

19.Comey says Obama “wanted competence and independence and didn’t want the FBI involved in policy.” [L-20 – Comey went to the White House on numerous occasions and is now suspected as following Obama’s orders – also, Obama’s entire administration was corrupt.] Comey also said Obama slept well knowing the FBI was well run. [L-21 – for Obama well run meant corrupt]

20. Comey next again said McCabe was “professional”. [L-22]

21. The next notes were from February 8, 2017, starting on p. 7. Comey said that a redacted item was necessary in the now known as fake dossier.  He states “analysts from all three agencies agreed it was relevant and that portions of the material were corroborated by other intelligence.”[PL-23]

22. Comey notes a primary source of the dossier but it is redacted [PL-24]

23. Comey talked about leaks and said they were probably from folks “who have left government”. [PL-25] He also said unlikely they came from the FBI [PL-26], and that most leaks come from one or two out. [L-27 – Comey and McCabe both have testified under oath that they leaked]

24. On page 8, Comey tell Priebus their conversation was private [L-28].

25. Priebus asked whether there was a FISA application on General Flynn and Comey answered but it is redacted.

26. Next Comey’s note reflect something strange. Comey notes that Priebus asked why Hillary was not charged with “gross negligence”.  [Comey changed this as we now know to clear Hillary of emails crimes.] Comey then says I took him through “facts and the law”. [L-29 – we know Hillary was guilty of numerous crimes.]  Then unexpectedly Comey writes “I added that it wasn’t my fault that Huma Abedin forwarded emails to Anthony Weiner.”  [This suggests the Weiner emails are an important part of the 2016 campaign and the Hillary email investigations.]

28. Comey said referring to the FBI “we aren’t the kind of killer that Putin is”.  President Trump apparently paused [does Trump know something or was Comey trying to scare the President?]

29. On page 10 Comey begins his notes from a February 14, 2017, meeting with the President [Valentine’s Day]. President Trump says that he thought his phone was protected but that the calls he made with Australia and Mexico and that General Flynn’s call with the Russians were taped and then leaked.  Comey says he tried to interject several times that “leaks are terrible” but the President wouldn’t let him.  [L-32 – Comey is a leaker]  Comey says it’s terrible his calls were leaked.  [L-33 – Comey is a leaker]  Comey says FBI leaks were terrible [L-34 – Comey is a leaker].

30. Comey agrees that leaks compromise the President and that he was “eager to find leakers”. [L-35 – Comey is a leaker]

31. Comey then said he was eager to put a “head on a pike” of a leaker. [L-36 – Comey is a leaker.]

32. On page 12 Comey notes a very brief call from the President and then on page 13 he notes from his discussion with the President on March 30, 2017 via a phone. The President stated that the Russia business was hurting him and that he was going to personally sue Christopher Steele.

36. The final set of notes begin on page 15 and refer to a call from President Trump on April 11, 2017. Comey begins to tell the President that he passed the President’s request about letting the American people know that he is not under investigation and Comey says he passed on to the acting AG but had not heard from him. [PL-41]

37. President Trump then stated that he heard the FBI was involved in an incident in Jordan in delaying a prosecution of a soldier who killed Americans. Comey did not deny but said he would dig into it. [PL-42 – Comey probably knew but lied as he had a pattern of doing]

38. Comey tries to insinuate in some footnotes that the President was up to something but there was no basis for his impressions. [PL-43 – by this time it is clear that Comey was a liar and leaker.]

Overall Summary –

1. The notes were classified and Comey leaked them which is a crime.

2. Comey writes that his “plan” in how he wanted to share the fake dossier with President Trump went exactly the way he wanted. This indicates Comey was conniving and manipulative in presenting the fake dossier to the President.

3. At least three times Comey tells the President he is not under investigation which is probably a lie but no matter how many times the President asks the FBI Director to share this with the American people, he refuses to do so.

4. Comey lies over 40 times in the 15 pages of notes. Some of his lies are known at this point from other information [L] and some probable lies [PL] are based on other information and a track record of lying from Comey.  In total we identified 18 probable lies [PL] and 25 outright lies [L].

5. The Weiner emails are again noted in these notes as they were noted in the McCabe IG Report. These may include information that Comey and others do not want released to American voters and this may be why they are going all out to remove President Trump.

6. The Corrupt individuals in the government have no concern for the American people or the President they elected.

Comey shows in these notes that he is dishonest, manipulative, conniving, conceited, arrogant and corrupt. Fired former FBI Director James Comey is a leaker and a liar!
