These boys don’t look like they can lift weights much less alone shøøt. Something doesn’t sit right with this. Not discrediting just feels off. What do y’all think? pic.twitter.com/JqQCH3RNGI — Sassafrass84 (@Sassafrass_84) June 30, 2025 Here’s a quick summary of everything we know so far: Wess Roley, 20, was identified as the suspect behind the June 29, 2025, ambush that killed two firefighters and injured another in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. He allegedly set a brush fire deliberately on Canfield Mountain and then waited in a sniper position, wearing camouflage and firing on first responders as they arrived. Roley was armed with a shotgun loaded with rifled slugs and used the terrain and his arborist skills to conceal himself and carry out a calculated attack. After a massive law enforcement response and hours of searching, Roley was found dead in the woods nearby, believed to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He had no criminal record, but had prior non-criminal contact with law enforcement, such as welfare checks and a trespassing incident. According to his family, Roley had previously aspired to be a firefighter, worked in tree services, and was considered intelligent but socially isolated and emotionally high-strung. One potential motive investigators are exploring is resentment or disillusionment tied to a failed dream of becoming a firefighter—he may have become embittered after not achieving that goal. Roley had also expressed anger toward government and authority figures in some online posts and talked about “rage” and destruction, though he didn’t align with any known extremist group. Investigators also noted he had a fascination with wildfires and firefighting response, which could indicate an obsession or twisted desire for attention or control. His recent behavior included isolation, couch surfing, and living out of his vehicle—signs that he may have been in mental or emotional distress leading up to the attack.

Wess Val Roley might have been turned down for a firefighting job because of his height, his grandfather has speculated in the immediate aftermath of the attack. Roley, who was 5-foot-8, is believed to have fatally shot two firefighters and wounded a third on Sunday after lighting a bush on fire and ambushing the first responders. He allegedly launched a barrage of gunfire over several hours around 1.30pm at Canfield Mountain, close to the town of Coeur d’Alene in northern Idaho. Roley was found dead beside a gun almost six hours later. Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris said officials believe he shot himself. Norris also confirmed his department ‘had information’ that Roley wanted to be a firefighter, and shared a terrifying image of the suspect from his social media. The photograph, shared on Instagram stories, shows California-born Roley wearing a balaclava with a coal-like substance smeared on his face, as well as a belt of rifle shells. He also shared a Bjork song hours before the shooting that included a warning in its lyrics: ‘I’m going hunting.’

Sen. Thom Tillis announced suddenly that he will not be seeking re-election in 2026 and now more details are emerging as to why. NEWS: Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) will NOT seek reelection in 2026, according to a statement sent by his office just now. Here’s part of the long release: pic.twitter.com/3PgA4vjlgO — Brendan Pedersen (@BrendanPedersen) June 29, 2025 The full, long and rambling statement was posted on his website: June 29, 2025 Statement from Senator Thom TillisWASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, North Carolina U.S. Senator Thom Tillis issued the following statement: “It has been a blessing to go on a journey from living in a trailer park and making minimum wage as a young man to having the honor of serving as U.S. Senator for North Carolina. “I am proud of my career in public service, including hard-fought victories like passing historic tax reform as North Carolina Speaker, and working in the Senate to help pass the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and confirm three conservative Supreme Court justices and counting. “What I’m most proud of are the bipartisan victories: passing the first-in-the-nation eugenics compensation as Speaker, and working across the aisle in the Senate to pass the largest investment in mental health in American history, passing the Respect for Marriage Act and monumental infrastructure investments, and reestablishing the Senate NATO Observer Group. Sometimes those bipartisan initiatives got me into trouble with my own party, but I wouldn’t have changed a single one. “In Washington over the last few years, it’s become increasingly evident that leaders who are willing to embrace bipartisanship, compromise, and demonstrate independent thinking are becoming an endangered species. “Democrats recently lost two such leaders who were dedicated to making the Senate more of a functional and productive legislative body. They got things done. But they were shunned after they courageously refused to cave to their party bosses to nuke the filibuster for the sake of political expediency. They ultimately retired and their presence in the Senate chamber has been sorely missed every day since. “It underscores the greatest form of hypocrisy in American politics. When people see independent thinking on the other side, they cheer. But when those very same people see independent thinking coming from their side, they scorn, ostracize, and even censure them. “Too many elected officials are motivated by pure raw politics who really don’t give a damn about the people they promised to represent on the campaign trail. After they get elected, they don’t bother to do the hard work to research the policies they seek to implement and understand the consequences those policies could have on that young adult living in a trailer park, struggling to make ends meet. “As many of my colleagues have noticed over the last year, and at times even joked about, I haven’t exactly been excited about running for another term. That is true since the choice is between spending another six years navigating the political theatre and partisan gridlock in Washington or spending that time with the love of my life Susan, our two children, three beautiful grandchildren, and the rest of our extended family back home. It’s not a hard choice, and I will not be seeking re-election. “I am beyond grateful for the friends I’ve made over the years in North Carolina and our nation’s capital, as well as my amazing staff who are among the very best the Senate has to offer. “I still look forward to continuing to serve North Carolina over the next 18 months. I look forward to solely focusing on producing meaningful results without the distraction of raising money or campaigning for another election. I look forward to having the pure freedom to call the balls and strikes as I see fit and representing the great people of North Carolina to the best of my ability.” ### Just like every person who’s ever been ran out of their place of work, he “just wanted to spend more time with his family.” Yeah, sure Thom. I’m sure it has absolutely nothing to do with the new a-hole President Trump ripped you on TruthSocial: Looks like Senator Thom Tillis, as usual, wants to tell the Nation that he’s giving them a 68% Tax Increase, as opposed to the Biggest Tax Cut in American History! At the same time, he is unable to understand the importance of a Debt Extension, which Republicans gave to the Democrats just prior to the November 5th Election, because of its significance, and how important it was for the future of the U.S.A. Sadly, the Democrat Politicians probably won’t reciprocate on a Debt Extension because they’re nasty people who actually hate our Country. Tillis is also willing to throw the very important Tobacco Industry in North Carolina, “out the window,” for reasons nobody seems to understand. He loves China made windmills that will cost a fortune, ruin the landscape, and produce the most expensive Energy on Earth. I can’t believe that the Great People of North Carolina, a State that I love and won all three times, and a State that I just brought back with money, blood, sweat, and tears, from the recent tragic floods, when Sleepy Joe Biden let them DROWN, right up until the end of that Administration, without doing anything — I was given an A+ Rating for the job we did in bringing it back, and Tillis, despite being a Republican, was MISSING IN ACTION — North Carolina will not allow one of their Senators to GRANDSTAND in order to get some publicity for himself, for a possible, but very difficult Re-Election. America wants Reduced Taxes, including NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME, AND NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY, Interest Deductions on Cars, Border Security, a Strong Military, and a Bill which is GREAT for our Farmers, Manufacturers and, Employment, in general. Thom Tillis is making a BIG MISTAKE for America, and the Wonderful People of North Carolina! Bye Thom! You will not be missed. Take John Thune with you when you go please!

On Monday, the Trump administration filed a lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles, aiming to dismantle its sanctuary city policy, which federal officials argue obstructs the enforcement of immigration laws.

Red Diaper Baby Bernie Sanders, who used to be known as crazy Bernie until the USA went crazy, thinks the GOP is like a “Stalinist Party” when all the evidence points to Democrats’ membership in that club.
