“Several crews were deployed to the incident at RAF Fairford in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Footage taken overnight appears to show smoke billowing from what is claimed to be the base’s commissary, a shop that provides food and equipment.
Other pictures from the scene show that the building’s roof collapsed as firefighters brought the blaze under control. No one was injured and no RAF aircraft was damaged.”
Watch: USAF has the ‘big guns’ on Fairford.
Trump brings in the big guns

The US Air Force is investigating the cause of the fire that started in an old, abandoned building.
“A spokesman for the Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service said: ‘We are responding to a fire in a commercial building in the Fairford area. Residents are advised to keep their doors and windows closed due to smoke from the fire’.”
Insanity: Harvard Students Call Grading Reform Racist
April 26, 2026
In the latest Harvard left wing insanity Campus Reform is reporting “Harvard University students have launched a petition opposing a proposed grading reform, arguing the policy could have racially disparate impacts.”
This immature petition urges Harvard to reject this policy that would limit the amount of top grades given.
Harvard has been at the center of liberal protests and chaos.
Organizers of the petition “claim the policy would “mirror and reinforce existing racial and socioeconomic hierarchies,” according to the petition’s description.”
The policy was originally introduced by Harvard in order to “address grade inflation.”
“Professors would limit “flat A” grades to about 20 percent of students in a class, though there would be no cap on A-minus grades.”
Nothing about this is racist except to people who see the whole world through race.
“The plan follows internal data showing that more than 60 percent of grades awarded in 2025 were A’s, compared to roughly one-third in 2010.”
Student organizers sent an absurd letter “described the proposal as “blatantly racist” and warned it could increase competition among students.”
Proponents of grading reform at Harvard argue the changes would restore high academic standards and that grading should reflect academic performance not race or demographics.
Wokeness is unAmerican and has been rejected by the American public. Apparently Harvard is still grappling with this.
DEI has been rejected and is on its way out.
Harvard has apparently not received the memo!
We will see if Harvard caves to the leftist unreasonable grading demands.
WHCD Shooting Should Force a Serious Conversation About Teacher Bias in K–12 Education
April 26, 2026
Cole Allen, recognized as “Teacher of the Month” in December 2024 at C2 Education in Torrance, California, has been identified as the suspect in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the suspect in the attempted shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner has been identified as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California.
Allen was taken into custody alive in the Hilton lobby near the security screening area.
But the more important part of this story is not just what happened—it is who the suspect is.
Allen is a highly educated professional. Reports indicate he attended the California Institute of Technology and recently earned a master’s degree in computer science.
More importantly, he worked as a teacher and was even named “Teacher of the Month” in December 2024 at C2 Education in Torrance.
It’s not fair to say every teacher is responsible for this. That would be dishonest. There are many teachers who do their jobs well, focus on academics, and avoid pushing political views in the classroom.
But ignoring the broader pattern would be just as dishonest.
I spend a significant amount of time looking at how education functions in this country. The trend is clear. Schools have increasingly shifted away from neutral instruction and toward ideological influence.
Students are often exposed to one-sided narratives on complex political issues, with little room for disagreement or serious debate.
When education becomes less about teaching students how to think and more about telling them what to think, the consequences extend far beyond the classroom.
Trust in institutions begins to erode. Students become less willing to question ideas. Families start to view schools as political environments rather than academic ones.
This case should not be used to generalize about every educator. But it should force a conversation that many people have avoided.
Teachers operate within a broader system. That system includes unions openly aligned with the Left.
When those institutions take clear ideological positions, it inevitably shapes the environment in which teachers work.
Political figures like Zohran Mamdani have built support in part through education-aligned networks that promote the socialist rhetoric they advocate. That connection reinforces the perception that schools are not neutral spaces, but extensions of broader political movements.
I am not arguing that teachers should avoid all discussions of politics. Schools must play a role in encouraging political discourse. Schools should be places where difficult topics are examined. But there is a difference between presenting multiple perspectives and pushing a single narrative.
That line has become increasingly blurred.
When students consistently hear one perspective framed as correct and others dismissed, it shapes how they view the world. Over time, that environment discourages independent thinking and replaces it with conformity.
If a teacher is willing to carry out an attack like this, then it would be ignorant not to consider the possibility that the same individual could have attempted to indoctrinate students.
When teachers’ unions promote protests against an administration, endorse far-left candidates, and education funding has more than doubled since the 1990s—even after adjusting for inflation—while outcomes remain stagnant, it is time to reconsider the structure of the education system.
Moving beyond this event, there have been multiple instances of teachers engaging in radical left-wing rhetoric. For example, after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, a Chicago Public Schools teacher mocked his death during a “No Kings” demonstration, as previously reported by The Gateway Pundit.
The attempted attack at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was stopped. But in a decade, when students shaped by increasingly ideological environments enter the real world, the consequences could be far worse than what we see today.
Education is almost never discussed as a serious policy concern. This is largely because it is rarely viewed as urgent. There are only a handful of moments when education is treated as an immediate issue, such as during campus protests in support of the terrorist organization Hamas.
But the reality is that education is the most pressing issue we face because it connects to everything. The people who shape a student’s worldview influence how that student understands politics, society, and reality itself.
British King Charles’ US State Visit Confirmed in the Aftermath of WHCD Shooting

Charles is coming to Washington despite the many issues in the troubled US-UK alliance.
Many people in the UK establishment have for weeks been suggesting that King Charles III should scrap his long-awaited state visit to the US over their contempt for Donald J. Trump.
These haters say Trump’s frequent ridicule of failing PM Keir Starmer and harsh criticism of the British lack of military preparedness should be grounds to cancel tomorrow’s trip.
If you add to that the security issue of yesterday’s shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the pressure for canceling the trip was considerable.
BREAKING: Buckingham Palace has confirmed that the King and Queen’s State Visit to the US will continue as planned.
“Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles’ and Queen Camilla’s US state visit will ‘proceed as planned’ following another ‘assassination attempt’ on Donald Trump.
Security concerns over the royals’ upcoming four-day State Visit remain high in the wake of Saturday night’s shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington DC.
[…] In a statement released on Sunday, Buckingham Palace confirmed the planned visit would take place with ‘adjustments’ following last night’s developments.”

“The Palace added that ‘the King and Queen are most grateful to all those who have worked at pace to ensure this remains the case, and are looking forward to the visit getting under way tomorrow’.
It comes after a senior Palace source told The Mirror that the decision to alter the program was made on official advice at emergency meetings scheduled in the aftermath of the Washington Hilton shooting.”
60 Minutes Interview: President Trump Recounts Moment Secret Service Rushed Him During WHCD Shooting (VIDEO)
April 26, 2026
President Trump on Sunday evening sat down with ’60 Minutes’ correspondent Norah O’Donnell to discuss the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
President Trump, First Lady Melania, Vice President Vance and others were rushed out of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner after an armed man, identified as Cole Allen, exchanged gunfire with Secret Service agents.
The President and his entire Cabinet were safely evacuated after shots were fired in the lobby of the Washington Hilton at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
The shooter, identified as Cole Allen, 31, of Torrence, California, was taken into custody and charged with using a firearm during a crime of violence and assaulting a federal officer with a dangerous weapon.
The Secret Service rushed to the President and Melania Trump and told them to duck down.
Of course, this isn’t Trump’s first rodeo.
This is the third time Secret Service agents have had to pounce on the President to protect him from a would-be assassin (Ryan Routh and Thomas Crooks).
WATCH:
President Trump recounted the moment that the Secret Service rushed him.
“I wanted to see what was happening, and I wasn’t making it that easy for him. I wanted to see what was going on.”
“And by that time, we started to realize maybe it was a bad problem, different kind of a problem, bad one, and different than what would be normal noise from a ballroom, which you hear all the time.”
“And I was surrounded by great people, and I probably made them act a little bit more slowly!”
“I said, wait a minute, wait a minute, let me see, wait a minute, so, you know, I’m telling guys.”
“I turned, I started walking, and they said, please go down, please go down on the floor.”
“So I went down, and First Lady went down also, but we were asked to go down by the agents as I was walking.”
“I was standing up, and then turned around the opposite direction, and started pretty much walking out, pretty tall, a little bent over because, you know, I’m not looking to be standing too tall. But I was walking out.“
