Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky said in a post on X that the House Sergeant at Arms warned that he would be fined $500 if he did not delete a video post. The video features footage of lawmakers waving Ukrainian flags on the House floor.&;quot;Instead of fining democrats for waving flags‚ the House Sergeant at Arms just called and said I will be fined $500 if I don't delete this video post. Mike Johnson really wants to memory hole this betrayal of America‚&;quot; Massie tweeted.Blaze News attempted to obtain comment from the Office of the Sergeant at Arms‚ but so far‚ no comment has been provided.House Speaker Johnson‚ a Louisiana Republican‚ has indicated that Massie will not be fined‚ saying in a post‚ &;quot;Upon viewing Rep. Massie's tweet‚ our team reached out to the Sergeant at Arms. I do not agree with this assessment and there will be no fine imposed on Rep. Massie.&;quot;Last week‚ Massie noted that he was was cosponsoring the motion to vacate the speakership that had been filed last month by GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia. — (@) On Saturday‚ when the House voted 311-112 in favor of passing a Ukraine aid measure‚ Massie was one of the 112 Republicans who voted against passage. When lawmakers waved Ukrainian flags on the House floor on Saturday‚ Speaker Mike Johnson admonished that flag waving on the floor was a violation of decorum. — (@) When Blaze News reached out to Massie‚ the congressman pointed to comments he made in a post on X when responding to Elon Musk Musk who had asked‚ &;quot;You can be fined for posting a video&;#63;&;quot;&;quot;There’s nothing that gives them the authority to demand I remove a video from my congressional account‚ but they are. There is a fine in the rules for taking pictures/videos on the House floor‚ but they don’t know if I taped this‚ and democrats post from the floor frequently (example attached)‚&;quot; Massie wrote in response to Musk's question. &;quot;I believe to be fined‚ they have to serve you notice on the floor while it’s happening (that's how I was fined for not wearing a mask). Seems a bit creepy that the Sergeant at Arms would be on my X account three days later looking for an infraction. And how would deleting the video undo my alleged infraction of filming on the House floor&;#63; (It wouldn't) The uniparty is big mad at me for exposing them on several votes and for asking the Speaker to resign. The Speaker‚ his staff‚ or one of his allies in our conference is probably directing the Sergeant at Arms to do this‚&;quot; the congressman added. — (@) Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Legal expert Jonathan Turley is pointing out why Donald Trump's hush money trial may ultimately help him politically.On Monday‚ trial arguments began in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case against the former president. Trump is accused of falsifying business records related to payments made to Stormy Daniels. The trial is expected to take weeks‚ which means Trump's ability to campaign is severely hampered. President Joe Biden‚ meanwhile‚ is ramping up his campaigning.That juxtaposition — Trump in a courtroom versus Biden on the campaign trail — could help Trump‚ Turley predicted.&;quot;This is becoming the split-screen election‚&;quot; the law professor said on Fox News. &;quot;Earlier it was pretty damaging to see the split screen between Trump in different courtrooms. This is even more effective when the other side of the screen shows Biden campaigning in key states like Pennsylvania while [Trump's] held in this courtroom.&;quot;It really brings home something that bothers a lot of Americans‚ including people who don't particularly like Trump: That this is the weaponization of the criminal legal system‚&;quot; he explained.A CNN panel also brought attention to Trump's situation‚ noting that it was &;quot;pretty remarkable&;quot; that Judge Juan Merchan‚ who is overseeing the trial‚ ended court early on Monday to allow an alternate juror to attend their dentist appointment while potentially forcing Trump to miss events important to him. Earlier in his interview on Fox News‚ Turley explained why Bragg's prosecution of Trump is &;quot;an embarrassment&;quot; and leaves him in &;quot;utter disbelief.&;quot;&;quot;The arguments today did‚ in fact‚ capture all the problems here: You had this misdemeanor under state law that had run out — this is going back related to the 2016 election — that they zapped it back into life by alleging that there was a campaign finance violation under the federal laws that doesn't exist. The Department of Justice doesn't view it this way‚&;quot; he explained.&;quot;On top of that‚ you got these tough factual issues that were laid out well by the Trump team‚ saying someone else designated this as a legal expense‚&;quot; Turley continued.&;quot;Keep in mind: this is what Hillary Clinton's people did‚&;quot; he pointed out. &;quot;Remember‚ when they funded the Steele dossier — which they denied to reporters — they put it as a legal expense. And then they fought the eventual fine they received from the federal government saying‚ 'But it was a legal expense.' Now you've got some of the same Democrats supporting this bizarre theory.&;quot;Turley‚ moreover‚ agreed there is credence to the narrative that Bragg's case is &;quot;coordinated&;quot; with the Justice Department‚ owing to the fact that Michael Colangelo‚ who once worked in the Biden DOJ‚ helped present opening arguments on Monday.Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

The homeowner said she didn't hear the woman screaming but did hear knocking at the door. When she went to see what it was about she said there was nothing outside. But after checking her doorbell camera‚ she immediately called the police.

They also identified the victim and confirmed that the woman was found safe. Police said that the incident was a domestic dispute and that there was no threat to the public.The woman who recorded the video told KGW-TV that she didn't know the woman or the man who was pursuing her. &;quot;She looked scared‚&;quot; said the woman. &;quot;In her voice‚ you could tell she was frantic‚ and she needed help‚ and the way she grabbed onto the door in the video when you see it‚ that is like‚ not normal.&;quot;The names of the victim and the suspect are not being released by police‚ who only confirmed that the man is facing a kidnapping charge. Hillsboro is a suburb of Portland with about 107k residents. The average Hillsboro home sells for about $544k according to Zillow.

A brawl at a high school in Louisiana was captured on video‚ but parents are more upset that a school officer used pepper spray to break up the fight. The video appeared to show a large group of students watching and recording as two girls began throwing punches at each other at the Magnolia School of Excellence in Shreveport on Monday. A school resource officer reportedly used pepper spray to break up the crowd. The video was posted to TikTok‚ and the description read simply‚ &;quot;Moments before disaster.&;quot; KSLA-TV published a longer version of the video that showed the school officer and children complaining about the pepper spray. KSLA-TV reported that parents had reached out to express their anger that pepper spray had been used on students. They said that some of their children were experiencing side effects from getting sprayed in the incident. On Tuesday‚ the school released a statement that characterized the brawl as a fight between two students and only confirmed that the officer had employed pepper spray. “Magnolia School of Excellence prides itself on creating a safe environment conducive to learning and building strong minds and good hearts. As part of our safety plan‚ we have a Shreveport Police Officer on campus to maintain a safe learning environment‚&;quot; the statement read. &;quot;During an altercation between two students yesterday‚ the officer on duty made the decision to legally deploy pepper spray to disperse the crowd‚&;quot; it ended. In 2018‚ the Caddo Parish School Board voted to extend the charter at Magnolia School of Excellence despite the school receiving a &;quot;D&;quot; grade from the Louisiana Department of Education in 2016 and then receiving an &;quot;F&;quot; grade in November of 2017. One of the school board members said they voted to continue the charter because the school accepted children with behavioral issues. Magnolia is a tuition-free charter school for students between grades 6 and 12. The school serves about 1‚200 students.
