A small circle of investors is already positioning for what some insiders believe could be the next major tech wealth cycle.

This isn’t on CNBC.

It’s not trending on X.

And most people won’t notice it until it’s too late.

AI, robotics, and next-gen computing are quietly converging — and those who spot these shifts early historically see the biggest upside. For the first time, the research behind this trend is being made public.

It’s called The Near Future Report — a monthly briefing focused on identifying the next generation of tech leaders before they dominate the market. Some believe this could be one of the most important investment windows of the decade. You can explore the research risk-free.

Former NFL defensive lineman Kevin Johnson, who played brief stints with the Philadelphia Eagles and the Oakland Raiders, was found dead on Wednesday at a South Los Angeles homeless encampment after a violent attack. 

Johnson was found in the 1300 block of East 120th Street, per ABC 6. Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of an unconscious man, but found Johnson dead at the scene.

His death was ruled a homicide, and a Los Angeles County Medical Examiner listed the cause of death as “blunt head trauma” and “stab wounds.”

He is believed to have been living in the homeless encampment, and the incident is under investigation.

Via ABC 6:

Per the New York Times:

Johnson played collegiately for Los Angeles Harbor College from 1989 to 1990 before transferring to Texas Southern University, where he competed from 1991 to 1992. The New England Patriots selected the Los Angeles native with a fourth-round pick in the 1993 NFL Draft but released him before the season began.

After practice squad and offseason stints with the Minnesota Vikings and Oakland Raiders, the Philadelphia Eagles selected Johnson off waivers ahead of the 1995-96 season. He went on to play in 13 games, including two playoff games. The Eagles brought him back in 1996, with Johnson playing in 12 games, five of which he started. Philadelphia released him that December.

Johnson re-signed with the Raiders and played in 15 games during the 1997-98 season but was released again in March 1998.

Johnson accumulated 54 tackles, seven sacks and returned a fumble for a 37-yard touchdown across his NFL career. He later spent three years as a two-way lineman in the Arena Football League from 1998 to 2001. His time in the AFL included a win in ArenaBowl XII with the Orlando Predators.

Meanwhile, failed California governor Gavin Newsom is still vowing to end homelessness, which keeps getting worse in the Golden State, by throwing millions more dollars at the issue.

In a disturbing incident amid ongoing anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis, a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officer had his finger bitten off by a rioter, according to a post from Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary at the Department of Homeland Security.

McLaughlin shared graphic photos on X, showing the injured officer sitting in a vehicle, his uniform caked in mud, as a gloved hand tends to his mangled finger.

One image shows the severed fingertip, bloodied and raw, and another shows it preserved in a small plastic container, presumably for medical evaluation.

McLaughlin confirmed that the officer will lose the finger.

Additional photos show individuals alleged to be involved in the biting incident. Their identities and roles in the attack are unclear at the time of publishing.

“In Minneapolis, these rioters attacked our law enforcement officer and one of them bit off our HSI officer’s finger. He will lose his finger,” McLaughlin wrote.

GRAPHIC WARNING:

The attack comes amid riots in Minneapolis after federal agents were involved in the fatal shooting of an armed agitator who was confronting them on Saturday morning.

The Department of Homeland Security’s statement about the shooting read in full:

“At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, seen here.

The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming.

Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene.

The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID—this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.

About 200 rioters arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement on the scene, crowd control measures were deployed for the safety of the public and law enforcement.

This situation is evolving, and more information is forthcoming.”

The mayhem is still unfolding in Minneapolis, as hundreds of protesters descended on the area of the shooting and are ignoring dispersal orders.

Democrat leaders, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz, have condemned ICE and demanded their removal from the city — but are not stopping the violent agitators.

Tim Walz came out during a press conference on Saturday and declared that he plans to prosecute ICE agents and encouraged leftwing activists to continue rioting, following a CBP-involved shooting of a man who assaulted law enforcement and pulled a gun on officers. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Border Patrol fatally shot the man, identified as 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, during a struggle this morning after the suspect pulled his gun out. This comes amid tensions following the shooting death of Renee Good after she tried to ram federal agents with her vehicle.

“The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement.  “Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene.”

The statement continued, “The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID—this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.”

Violent rioting has since broken out in Minnesota. The Gateway Pundit reported that violent leftists have been clashing with ICE and setting fires as law enforcement deploys crowd control measures.

Tim Walz delivered a press conference this afternoon, echoing similar comments from earlier, where he demanded that President Trump "Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now."

He further declared that the state of Minnesota is "creating a log of evidence for the future prosecution of ICE agents and officials responsible for this," and decried what he called "the horrific cruelty, unprofessional, absolute abomination that is passing for what these ICE agents are doing on our streets."

"They think they can provoke us into abandoning our values. Well, they're dead wrong," he added after claiming that the protests are occurring "loudly and urgently but peacefully."

Meanwhile, he refused to mention or condemn the attempted violence against officers by the gun-wielding lunatic.

WATCH:

Walz: Yesterday was the best of Minnesotans, peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights, and I attended in the church basement, hundreds of Minnesotans from all faith packing care packages for families that have been ripped apart. Despite the horrific acts by this federal government, Minnesotans are standing up for the rule of law. They're protesting loudly and urgently but peacefully. It must stay that way, Minnesota.

Minnesotans are witnessing, and we're creating a log of evidence for the future prosecution of ICE agents and officials responsible for this. They're helping their neighbors, they're walking their kids to school, they're feeding families. I salute their courage and their restraint, and I call on all Americans to see the decency that this state is exhibiting, and the horrific cruelty, unprofessional, absolute abomination that is passing for what these ICE agents are doing on our streets.

They think they can provoke us into abandoning our values. Well, they're dead wrong, we'll keep the peace, we’ll secure the justice with our neighbors, and we'll see this occupation ends. Minnesotans and Minnesota law enforcement that continuously is being denigrated by this administration will continue to be the adults in the room, the professionals in the room, the decent human beings in the room that will keep the peace.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey also condemned ICE without mentioning the gun-wielding suspect earlier, claiming, “Six masked agents pummeled our constituents and shot him to death!”

“The invasion of these heavily armed masked agents emboldened with a sense of impunity, it has to end!” he said.

An Antifa militant in Minneapolis named Kyle Wagner is calling for an armed uprising after a fatal shooting involving U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents on Saturday morning.

In a series of videos posted to Instagram under the handle @KAOS_FOLLOWS, Wagner directs followers on where to meet up with him and calls for people to come to the city with guns.

“My name is Kyle. I’m Antifa,” he begins, before urging his followers to “suit up” and meet at Nicollet and 26th Street.

“I’m not talking about peaceful protests anymore,” he declares. “We’re not talking about having polite conversations anymore. I am talking specifically to my f-cking followers… Get your f-cking guns and stop these f-cking people.”

Wagner complained that people had not already marched on the Whipple Building with guns.

In another video, Wagner asked followers to send him large sums of money for “freedom and defense” during what he described as a “guerrilla war in the streets,” but would not say what the money would be used for.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, the man approached CBP officers with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun, prompting them to use lethal force in self-defense.

There is currently massive unrest in the city, with no sign of Democrat local leaders stepping in to put an end to it.
