The long-awaited trial of Karmelo Anthony, who has been charged with murder for stabbing 17-year-old Texas football star Anthony Metcalf to death, has begun. Outside the courthouse, supporters of Karmelo Anthony have gathered to demonstrate in his defense. Two white men also showed up to back Metcalf’s family. And, apparently, this caused several of the Karmelo Anthony supporters to become enraged. A video is going viral of one man hurling violent, racist threats at one of the Metcalf supporters, repeatedly calling him a “cracker” and saying that he’s going to “push you into that grave.” In that clip, another Karmelo Anthony supporter could be heard threatening the white man that he’s “gone end up like Metcalf!” Watch the shocking moment for yourself: JUST IN: A racist Karmelo Anthony-murder of Austin Metcalf supporter is THREATENING a white man, calling him a "CRACKER" "I'ma PUSH YOU into that GRAVE motherf*cker! F*ck you, CRACKER!" "You gone end up like Metcalf!" another yelled SCUM OF THE EARTHpic.twitter.com/LedaTeCspS — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) June 4, 2026 These people are absolutely deranged. As you can see in that clip, police are patrolling the area outside the courthouse. But, it’s infuriating that this kind of nonsense is even tolerated! Imagine if the roles were reversed, and a group of white men were screaming racist, violent threats at a black person. You have to wonder if that would still be permitted… Take a look at some of these insightful responses from folks on X: But remember only white people can be racist — PamLa (@RealPamShady) June 4, 2026 Why don’t they turn out like this when a black person kills a black person? I’ll tell you why… black lives only matter when they’re taken by a white cop or during election time. — B (@antiwoke50) June 4, 2026 Ah yes, let me show solidarity with someone I believe to be wrongly accused of murder by threatening to murder someone who disagrees. — patrick (fire Nico) (@callmeursa) June 4, 2026 In addition to being incredibly hostile, these Karmelo Anthony supporters are also staging cringe chants outside the courthouse. Frontlines TPUSA shared more footage from the scene: “We love our black youth, they deserve protection too!” Karmelo Anthony supporters are currently chanting outside of the Collin County courthouse about how black youth deserve to be protected.

They lashed out at another local reporter today and are being aggressive with any media who attempt to interview them. As these crazy lunatics are outside the courthouse defending a murderer, Karmelo Anthony is inside, pleading not guilty. His lawyers are arguing that he acted in self-defense. Here’s a summary of how the trial is going, so far: Case Background: 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony is on trial for first-degree murder in the April 2, 2025, stabbing death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco ISD high school track meet in Frisco, Texas. Anthony has pleaded not guilty, claiming self-defense. He faces up to life in prison. Incident: During a rain delay, Metcalf asked Anthony (from a rival school) to leave his team’s tent. The argument escalated when Metcalf pushed or grabbed Anthony, who then pulled a knife and stabbed Metcalf once in the chest before fleeing the scene. Jury Selection: A jury of 12 plus 6 alternates was seated after summoning hundreds of potential jurors. The defense raised (and lost) a Batson challenge over the removal of Black prospective jurors. The final jury has no Black members. Opening Statements: Prosecution called the stabbing a “senseless murder” and “sneak surprise attack,” showing surveillance video. Defense argued self-defense, stating Anthony reacted in fear after being physically confronted. Clashes Outside Courthouse: The trial has drawn significant protests and tensions outside the Collin County Courthouse in McKinney. Supporters of both sides have gathered, with Anthony supporters chanting and demonstrating. Reports include heated confrontations, with some Anthony backers shouting racial slurs and violent threats at Metcalf family supporters and others. Trial Status: Opening arguments began recently; the trial is expected to last about two weeks with tight security and restrictions on media and public access inside the courtroom.

Zohran Mamdani might be doing all he can to take New York City off the far-left cliff, but his fellow Democrats at the state level are giving him a run for his money. News this week from the Empire State confirmed that the Democrat-led state legislature passed a bill that, if signed into law by Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, will remove the words “mother” and “father” from official documents related to custody and other family matters. Although the woke ideology that fueled similar “gender-neutral” pushes in recent years has seemingly moderated since President Trump was re-elected, the New York Post revealed that it is still alive and well in Albany: “Mother” would be replaced with “gestating parent” while “father” becomes “non-gestating parent” or “parent” in family court along with in domestic and education law, under the legislation, passed this week by state Democrats. “Paternity” proceedings to determine a child’s biological father would meanwhile become “parentage” cases, under the bill, which was rammed through the Assembly in March and of the Senate this week. A “putative father” — also known as a deadbeat dad — would now be called “an alleged parent” in official state records, under the bill, which was sponsored by liberals Sen. Luis Sepulveda (D-Bronx) and Assemblywoman Amy Paulin (D-Westchester) and will go to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk for approval. “It’s woke culture run amok. It’s one-upmanship,” said state Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar, a former longtime state Senate and Assembly staffer. The development naturally sparked a wave of disapproving social media comments: This is INSANE Democrats NY have passed a bill changing terms such as "mother" and "father" to "gestating parent" and "non-gestating parent." It will now head to Gov Kathy Hochul to be signed into law. Democrats are destroying what it means to be a mother and father. pic.twitter.com/euh7iZb8x8 — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) June 4, 2026 This gotta be a troll. It's even worse than the "cis" thing. — CoolStoryBro (@Bleachlilith) June 4, 2026 Some of us warned you for many years. https://t.co/F8yfXV9m5H — Gad Saad (@GadSaad) June 4, 2026 The Washington Examiner added these details: Now, Hochul has 10 days to either sign the changes into law or veto the legislation. If approved, the changes would take effect Nov. 1. If signed by Hochul, the bill would revise parental terminology across multiple sections of New York law but would not alter existing parental rights, obligations, or family court. Empire State Democrats argue the measure modernizes New York law to reflect the realities of same-sex couples, adoptive families, surrogacy arrangements, and other family structures recognized in the state. The bill’s sponsor, Democratic state Sen. Luis Sepulveda of the Bronx, has argued that the changes are intended to align statutory language with existing court decisions and family practices.  Republicans were quick to criticize the legislation, arguing that lawmakers should focus on affordability, public safety, and other issues facing New Yorkers rather than rewriting legal terminology.  Conner Dunleavy, a Republican candidate challenging the chair of the state Assembly’s judicial committee who approved the bill, told the Washington Examinerthe state legislature’s move “serves to undermine our families.” He said New York families are facing bigger challenges than legal terminology. “[Their] priorities are totally out of whack,” Dunleavy said. “They’re focused on things like removing the words mother and father from state law and replacing them with ridiculous terms like gestating and non-gestating parent.” “It’s not addressing our affordability crisis that we definitely have in the state, it’s not addressing our record-high taxes, it’s not addressing the insane costs of utilities, it’s doing nothing to help families, and it’s doing everything to erase us from the picture,” he added. Here’s some additional coverage: JUST NOW: New York is set to OUTLAW the term "MOTHER" and "FATHER" on some documentation because it's "outdated" and should be called "gestating parent" instead Father = "non-gestating person" WHAT ON EARTH IS WRONG WITH DEMOCRATS?! pic.twitter.com/wLt7ckEpNZ — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) June 4, 2026 This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy just put a public war-ending offer on the table, and he addressed it directly to Vladimir Putin. The proposal landed June 4 in an official open letter published by the Ukrainian president’s office. This went far beyond a quiet backchannel note. Zelenskyy posted the official link from his own verified X account. Open Letter to the President of the Russian Federation: https://t.co/mEvYqYiqus — Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) June 4, 2026 The offer centers on direct leader-to-leader talks, a neutral host country, a ceasefire during negotiations, and security guarantors from the United States and Europe. That is a major public move in a war that has dragged through years of blood, money, and escalating global risk. The official President of Ukraine letter put the offer in blunt terms: Enough of war. Ukraine proposes to end this war. This must be done honestly, with dignity, and with guarantees that the war will not be reignited. We see that the United States is fully focused on the issue of Iran, and it would be wrong to simply wait until the war in Europe returns to the center of its attention. Ukraine proposes ending this war through direct engagement between us — and you. I am proposing a meeting. Everyone heard your representatives, smiling, say that I could supposedly come to Moscow. But after these 26 years, there is nothing for a Ukrainian leader to do in your capital — just as there is nothing for a Russian leader to do in Kyiv. There are countries that have traditionally hosted leaders to resolve issues of war and peace. Switzerland, Türkiye, the countries of the Arab world — many are able and willing to host such a meeting. It is leaders who resolve the key issues. That has always been the case, and it always will be. Zelenskyy also tied the offer to a ceasefire that could be monitored, giving the proposal a concrete enforcement point. The official President of Ukraine letter added these terms: The front line today is the line from which diplomacy must begin. Ukraine is ready for a full ceasefire for the duration of the negotiations. This is standard practice, and current developments around Iran only reinforce that point. An attempt to establish real silence is the best way to begin talking to one another. We believe it would not simply be an attempt, but a real ceasefire — if that is what you want. You know that the United States has the capability to monitor a ceasefire along the line where hostilities stop. Ukraine is ready for an all-for-all exchange of prisoners of war, and this could become a good prologue to ending the war. Serious steps must be taken to return civilians and children who were taken away during the war. We must determine what kind of future awaits the generations of Ukrainians and Russians who will come after us. The Ukrainian news agency Ukrinform summarized the move as a personal meeting proposal from Zelenskyy to Putin aimed at ending the war. Зеленський запропонував Путіну особисту зустріч для завершення війниhttps://t.co/sQYPQC24Sw pic.twitter.com/pfp5XLZ3Lu — Ukrinform (@UKRINFORM) June 4, 2026 There is a big caveat here: the letter does not read like a surrender document. The same letter says Ukraine will continue fighting if Putin refuses to end the war, so the real story is not that Kyiv gave up. It is that Zelenskyy made a public offer and put the next decision squarely on Moscow. The framework is clear: direct talks, a neutral venue, a ceasefire while negotiations run, outside guarantors, and a prisoner exchange that would bring people home. Now the pressure shifts to Putin. Zelenskyy has put the offer in writing, in public, and the world gets to watch whether the Kremlin takes the meeting or keeps the war going. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.

President Trump had a little fun with the giant UFC structure going up on the White House lawn, and the internet took the bait. He compared the temporary arena and cage being built for UFC Freedom 250 to the Eiffel Tower, which was supposed to be temporary too and never came down. In the clip, Trump said the structure in front of the White House was attractive to a lot of people, then joked that maybe it would never come down. That was the line that went viral. Here is the fresh post carrying the original claim: Trump suggests he may permanently leave up the UFC cage on the White House lawn pic.twitter.com/TsvRONoSlE — FactPost (@factpostnews) June 4, 2026 Predictably, plenty of people online treated the joke like a binding executive order. So Trump gave the straight answer. The Associated Press reported Thursday, June 4, that Trump said in the Oval Office the UFC octagon being built on the South Lawn will come down after the June 14 bout. AP also reported that Trump said the earlier comment was made jokingly, and that he expressed dismay some people actually believed it. So the cage is temporary, the fight is real, and the troll worked exactly as intended. The event itself is the bigger story here. UFC Freedom 250 is built around the 250th birthday of the United States, with the main card set for June 14 at the White House. The official UFC event page lays out the scale of the celebration: The most historic sporting event of all time UFC Freedom 250 commemorates the 250th birthday of the United States with a once-in-a-generation celebration of the American fighting spirit. From the Revolution to the Octagon, this historic event will connect fans through cinematic storytelling and unrivaled competition on the world’s greatest proving ground.

Witness the action unfold just steps from The White House in one of the most iconic settings imaginable. This is more than a watch party; it’s a shared live event experience. The fight night sits inside a much larger push from the administration to mark America’s 250th year. The White House describes Freedom 250 as part of a full year of anniversary events under President Trump’s leadership: On July 4, 2026, America will celebrate the most important milestone in our country’s history–250 years of American Independence. “With a single sheet of parchment and 56 signatures, America began the greatest political journey in human history,” said President Trump of this momentous anniversary. Under the President’s leadership, the Salute to America 250 Task Force (“Task Force 250”) is executing a full year of festivities, which began on Memorial Day, 2025, and will continue through the end of 2026. The White House is engaging all levels of government, the private sector, non-profit and educational institutions, and every citizen across the country to celebrate this historic milestone. To achieve this ambitious vision, we have created a new public-private partnership called Freedom 250. Task Force 250 aims to inspire a renewed love for American history, encourage citizens to experience the beauty of our country, ignite a spirit of adventure and innovation to help our nation succeed for the next 250 years, and invite Americans to pray for our country and our people and rededicate ourselves as One Nation Under God. That is the real frame. Trump turned the South Lawn into a stage for the country’s birthday and let the joke ride for a day. The Eiffel Tower line was the bait. The answer is that the cage comes down, the celebration goes on, and the fight happens at the most famous address in America on June 14. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.

Seven Republican senators voted with Democrats to block construction of the White House ballroom unless Congress authorizes the project. The Republicans who supported the measure include: Sen. Susan Collins (ME) Sen. Lisa Murkowski (AK) Sen. Jerry Moran (KS) Sen. Dan Sullivan (AK) Sen. Thom Tillis (NC) Sen. Jon Husted (OH) Sen. Bill Cassidy (LA) Nevertheless, the measure needed 60 votes to pass. US Senate votes against Senator Jeff Merkley's (D-OR) amendment that would have prohibited funding for the White House ballroom. 60 votes needed to pass Republican Senators who voted for the amendment Collins (ME)Husted (OH)Moran (KS)Murkowski (AK)Sullivan (AK)… https://t.co/Zc1KGrPX7b pic.twitter.com/Q0qwnwcP6a — Politics & Poll Tracker (@PollTracker2024) June 4, 2026 More from the Washington Examiner: The undertaking came in the form of an amendment to the GOP’s $70 billion immigration enforcement bill that Republicans initially tried to use for $220 million in ballroom security funding for the project. However, they were ultimately forced to strip the money due to opposition and the strict rules of the filibuster-skirting reconciliation process. The amendment would have banned the use of federal funds and private donations to construct the ballroom unless Trump received the green light from Congress. The tally was 53-46. Collins, Husted, and Sullivan, who are all up for reelection in battleground states, also broke with their party on an earlier amendment to thwart the creation of the Justice Department’s “anti-weaponization” fund. Cassidy, who recently lost his primary, received consent to change his position in favor of the amendment after the vote had closed. “Trump has fought for his ballroom harder than he’s ever fought to lower your costs,” the office of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said in a statement. “As the price of groceries, gas, and housing balloons, a gilded White House ballroom is the last thing your taxes should be spent on. But Senate Republicans just voted down an amendment that would ensure this ballroom does not receive one cent of federal funding without congressional approval,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) commented.

Democrats fought back and forced Republicans to strip out this wasteful spending,” Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) commented. “But we know that Trump will do anything he can to get his way – so Senate Democrats forced a vote today to make sure he can NEVER use taxpayer money for his ballroom. Republicans refused to join us and instead blocked our efforts,” she added.

The budget reconciliation package initially included $1 billion to provide security upgrades to the White House and the new ballroom, something that spurred strong pushback from GOP senators.
