They left a message on the brass. On a September morning in Dallas, a rooftop sniper fired into an ICE transport van, killing one detainee and wounding two. Investigators recovered shell casings scratched with two words: ANTI-ICE. This was not just violence. It was a communiqué — an attempt to turn blood into manifesto, sovereignty into sin. These are not random tragedies but an orchestrated campaign of domestic terrorism… That cartridge belongs to a larger pattern: what can only be called the Four Rings of Terror. Each ring represents a calculated assault on conservative foundations: governance, speech, law, and faith/community. These are not random tragedies but an orchestrated campaign of domestic terrorism designed to delegitimise authority, silence persuasion, hollow out enforcement, and desecrate tradition. The first ring strikes at governance. The point of the shots fired at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania and the later conviction of Ryan Wesley Routh for plotting another attempt was not simply to end a man’s life. It was to suggest that political decisions can be vetoed by force. The symbolism is what matters: a rifle aimed at a candidate is a claim that elections are optional, that policy can be cancelled at will. (RELATED: Butler: The Riveting Untold Story of the Shooting of Donald Trump) The second ring attacks persuasion. The killing of Charlie Kirk on a Utah stage did not silence a single sentence — it broadcast a warning. Charismatic conservatives with reach and influence will not be debated but erased. That was the sniper’s argument: that speech is dangerous, that persuasion should yield to fear. It is less about one man’s death than about chilling the appetite for open dialogue across communities. (RELATED: Charlie Kirk Is a Casualty of the Cultural Counterrevolution) The third ring encompasses enforcement. Dallas, with cartridges scrawled ANTI-ICE, sent the clearest signal. But it echoed earlier strikes: the July 4 ambush at Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, fireworks used as diversions before an officer was shot in the neck; the violent ICE arrest in Franklin Park; the political backlash to Operation Patriot 2.0 in Boston, where officials branded enforcement “tyranny” and cancelled events out of fear. A sniper’s bullet and a mayor’s press release delivered the same verdict: federal law has no legitimacy. (RELATED: The Meaning Behind ICE Agents’ Masks) The fourth ring cuts deepest, targeting faith and community. At Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, a gunman opened fire during Mass, killing two children and injuring more than 20. His rifles bore anti-Catholic slurs and the phrase “Kill Donald Trump.” Police have classified the massacre as domestic terrorism and a hate crime. (RELATED: The Demons Have Taken Hold of Minneapolis) Months earlier, in Madison, Wisconsin, a 15-year-old stormed a Christian school, murdered a teacher and a classmate, wounded six, then killed herself, leaving behind a manifesto titled “War Against Humanity.” In Lexington, Kentucky, a mother and daughter were shot mid-prayer inside a Baptist church. These were not isolated spasms of violence. They were desecrations, deliberate assaults on faith and community, attempts to make worship and tradition feel reckless. All four rings are fertilised by rhetoric. In Chicago, Mayor Brandon Johnson declared that “jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness.” To radicals with manifestos, such words are not metaphors. They are permissions. If police are described as diseased, the sniper imagines himself a surgeon. If ICE is branded an army, ambush becomes resistance. It is little surprise that assaults on federal officers, according to DHS, have risen by more than a thousand percent. (RELATED: The Shameless Exploitation of Charlie Kirk’s Murder) Together, the Four Rings of Terror form a design: a candidate targeted with a rifle to show governance can be annulled, a conservative thinker killed to prove speech unsafe, officers ambushed or defied to hollow out sovereignty, congregants gunned down to vandalise continuity. This is not a coincidence. It is domestic terrorism, directed against the conservative conviction that leaders may govern, communities may speak, laws may be enforced, and faith may be lived. Dallas was not the beginning of this story; it was its confirmation. The ANTI-ICE cartridge was not only evidence. It was an editorial in brass. America can still write the rebuttal, but only if it recognises the structure of the assault. These are the Four Rings of Terror. The choice is stark: defend governance, speech, law, and faith and community — or surrender them to the bullet.

Liberals are furious at the Trump administration for taking a decisive step toward addressing one of the nation’s most pressing public health crises: the skyrocketing rates of autism. Earlier this week, President Donald Trump joined Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to make several announcements about their progress in discovering the root causes of autism. Kennedy reported that the HHS is opening the door to the first FDA-recognized treatment pathway for some of the effects of autism and is also launching investments in 13 new research projects. Commenting on the medical establishment’s lackluster understanding of the causes of autism, Kennedy said, “Historically, NIH has focused almost solely on politically safe and entirely fruitless research about the genetic drivers of autism. And that would be like studying the genetic drivers of lung cancer without looking at cigarettes. And that’s what NIH has been doing for 20 years.” Instead, Trump’s NIH is now finally taking the steps to solidify the causes of America’s autism crisis. Most sensationally, the Trump administration is also taking action on acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, for its likely links to neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism, when used during pregnancy. The move “trusts the science” of numerous large-scale studies that make the connection, including a new study led by the dean of the faculty at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health.  Most studies conducted on acetaminophen use during pregnancy concur that fetal exposure to acetaminophen poses a “significantly increased risk of childhood ADHD and ASD in a dose-response fashion.” While the Harvard-affiliated analysis noted that some studies did not report positive links to neurodevelopmental disorders, the analysis pointed out that the majority of studies did, and “higher-quality studies were more likely to show positive associations.” According to Kennedy, the FDA is responding by issuing a physician’s notice about acetaminophen’s risks during pregnancy and will begin the process to initiate a safety label change. “HHS will launch a nationwide public service campaign to inform families and protect public health,” he said. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt summed up the announcement: “The Trump Administration does not believe popping more pills is always the answer for better health. There is mounting evidence finding a connection between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism — and that’s why the Administration is courageously issuing this new health guidance.” Predictably, the liberal establishment erupted in a frenzy of mockery and manufactured outrage, with numerous media outlets writing stories attempting to debunk the administration’s cautions about acetaminophen. Despite compelling reasons to be concerned with acetaminophen use during pregnancy, outlets encouraged women to still “take Tylenol despite Trump’s repeated admonitions.” Dr. Sindhu Srinivas, president of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, was upset with Trump’s announcement because he doesn’t want pregnant women to feel guilty for taking Tylenol. In other words, the anti-Trump mob is now popping pills contrary to the manufacturer’s own advice. In the days following the announcement, social media platforms were flooded with videos of progressives dramatically popping Tylenol pills, chugging liquid versions, or even proposing “Tylenol parties” as a form of protest to spite Trump. Others have pointed out the absurdity of this outrage, posting years’ worth of medical studies and media outlets cautioning against acetaminophen during pregnancy. In the most damning turn of events, people have resurfaced a 2017 post on X from Tylenol itself that reads, “We actually don’t recommend using any of our products while pregnant.” In other words, the anti-Trump mob is now popping pills contrary to the manufacturer’s own advice. It appears that Trump-degrangement-syndrome may actually pose tangible health risks. At the deeper level, the Left’s frantic reactions undermine the very argument of the science they claim to follow. The whole claim of the scientific method is that scientific findings are always subject to revision in light of new evidence. Science is a process of questioning, testing, revising, and moving closer to the truth. Scientific findings are always subject to revision in light of new evidence, and the scientific community ought to follow the best available data, not the convenient conclusions of yesterday. The Trump administration’s willingness to act on the best available evidence and investigate a broader range of possible causes of autism is not a rejection of science; it is science. In reality, the most striking part of the Trump administration’s announcement on Monday was how subdued it actually was. Trump and Kennedy didn’t pretend as if they had all the answers, and they made clear that their actions and recommendations were tentative and in need of more study. According to Kennedy, “Autism is a complex disorder” influenced by multiple factors. Even in their cautions about Tylenol, Kennedy highlighted that there are some “contrary studies that show no association” between autism and acetaminophen use during pregnancy. In a further note of restraint, Trump and Kennedy also did not come out with any definitive statement claiming that vaccination was linked to autism, even though Kennedy mentioned vaccines as “one area that we are closely examining” with further studies. In other words, Monday’s conference was merely a cautious and tentative first step to address an issue that’s deeply meaningful to both Trump and Kennedy. As Kennedy said, “We expect this to be the first of many announcements over the coming years that deliver actionable information to parents on underlying causes of autism and the potential paths for prevention and reversal.” As the administration addresses the crisis, it’ll have to work to continue to navigate media hysterics.
