Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich‚ a Democrat‚ exploded during a press conference on Friday after he was asked why local officials were trying to hide the fact that a teenager who was arrested for allegedly plotting school shootings was transgender. The thwarted shooter‚ an 18-year-old woman from Rockville who identifies as a man‚ was arrested on Wednesday by the Montgomery County Police Department (MCPD)‚ the county said in a news release‚ adding that the FBI notified the MCPD about a 129-page “manifesto” in which the teenager wrote about committing a school shooting‚ contemplated targeting an elementary school‚ and more. “What is the reluctance of the county to admit that this individual was transgender&;#63;” an individual asked Elrich at the press conference. “This is the fourth time that we’ve seen this happen very recently. And right here I hear all of our leadership saying to us today‚ and what we do in journalism here‚ what we try not do is bury the lede. Why am I hearing about this from the New York Post&;#63;” “Because it’s not a lede‚” Elrich responded. “You know‚ how do you publicize every time somebody gets murdered that it’s a white Christian male‚ who’s heterosexual&;#63; No‚ you don’t‚ you don’t– are these the only crimes that get committed&;#63; You never publish somebody’s sexual orientation when you talk about them.” “Why are you focused on it being a transgender is beyond me‚” he claimed. “It is not a news story. It is not a crime to be transgender. And I’m sorry you feel that way.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The individual who asked the question fired back: “That’s not what I said.” WATCH: Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich SNAPS when a journalist asks why they’re covering up the fact that Andrea Ye was transgender.

Indy Star columnist Gregg Doyel is back in the spotlight after a second uncomfortable exchange surfaced involving newly drafted WNBA star Caitlin Clark. In the clip posted on X from the Indiana Fever press conference‚ Doyel was asking questions directed to the team’s coach Christie Sides about drafting Clark‚ referring to the NCAA basketball star as “that” and “it” while she’s sitting next to the coach. “You were just given the keys to that‚” Doyel said to Sides. “What are you going to do with it&;#63;” Earlier in the week‚ a clip of Doyel speaking to Clark at the same press conference went viral in which the columnist has a cringe-worthy moment with the basketball star after giving her a heart sign gesture with his hands‚ something Clark does at games. Gregg Doyle had second exchange that would also be categorized as…creepy. GD to the Fever coach Christie Sides: “You just got the keys to THAT‚ what are you gonna do with IT&;#63;” pic.twitter.com/2fyWLTMj6y — SHE scores bangers (@SHEscoresbanger) April 17‚ 2024 “You like that&;#63;” Clark asked‚ and Doyel replied‚ “I like that you’re here.” She then explained‚ “Yeah‚ I do that at my family after every game.” And Doyel said to the young star‚ “OK‚ well listen‚ start doing it to me and we’ll get along just fine.” People on social media slammed the columnist for the comments‚ the Daily Mail reported. Doyel then issued an apology for his “uniquely oafish way‚ while welcoming Caitlin Clark to Indy.” “I formed my hands into her signature‚” the reporter wrote on X. “My comment afterward was clumsy and awkward. I sincerely apologize. Please know my heart (literally and figuratively) was well-intentioned. I will do better.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP He later wrote a column in the Indy Star titled‚ “Doyel: Caitlin Clark‚ I’m so sorry. On Wednesday I was part of the problem.” “I’m devastated to realize I’m part of the problem‚” Doyel wrote. “I screwed up Wednesday during my first interaction with No. 1 overall draft pick Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever.” “What I’ve learned is that I need to be more aware about how I talk to people – not just athletes‚” he added. “I realized that only after my exchange with Clark went viral and I navigated the first two stages of grief during a discussion with the people I care about the most.” “In my haste to be clever‚ to be familiar and welcoming (or so I thought)‚ I offended Caitlin and her family‚” Doyel continued. “After going through denial‚ and then anger…I now realize what I said and how I said it was wrong‚ wrong‚ wrong. I mean it was just wrong. Caitlin Clark‚ I’m so sorry.” Related: Former NBA Star Paul Pierce Was Only Impressed By Caitlin Clark After She ‘Beat A Bunch Of Black Girls’

Democrat Party officials say they are now facing a critical shortage of intimidating insults with which to silence people who have opposing opinions. According to Democrat Vladimir Mohammed Jihad Lenin Chu Mohammed‚ Chairman of the Leftist Agency of Derogatory Intimidation‚ or LADDIE — or LADY‚ depending on your pronouns — the shortage could endanger Joe Biden’s chances of re-election in the event he comes back to life before November. Mr. Lenin Chu Mohammed spoke to The Daily Wire on condition of anonymity‚ saying‚ “We started by calling conservatives racist‚ but that made it sound like hating white people might be a bad thing. So we moved on to calling them Hitler‚ but then we found out that Hitler believed in authoritarian government‚ imprisoning dissenters‚ and hating Jews‚ which is our entire platform. Finally‚ we tried calling them Christian Nationalists‚ but then we discovered that means people who believe in God and love their country‚ which turns out to be almost everybody except us. If we don’t come up with a new intimidating insult soon‚ we won’t be able to silence opposition and we’ll be forced to try to rationalize our policies‚ which obviously would be a disaster.” An unnamed Democrat source named Sergei Mohammed Wong Nikita Jihad says Democrat strategists have been working around the clock to come up with a brilliant new plan to replenish their supply of intimidating insults by using words that mean absolutely nothing so they can’t be turned against them. In a memo leaked by an anonymous Democrat source named Rashida Ilhan Alexandria Tucker Carlson‚ the unnamed LADDIE-or-LADY chairman Lenin Chu Mohammed writes‚ “In the past‚ meaningless words have worked well for the Democrat party. We used such sentences as ‘The border is secure‚’ ‘trans-women are women‚’ ‘the demonstrations are mostly peaceful‚’ and ‘George Floyd was an innocent man murdered by racist police’ in which certain words were completely devoid of any recognizable meaning‚ like the words ‘secure‚’ ‘women‚’ ‘peaceful’ and ‘innocent man murdered by racist police.’” Thus‚ in the hope of preventing future shortages of intimidating insults‚ the LADDIE or LADY is proposing that Democrats simply start hurling complete gibberish at their opponents in angry voices that make it sound insulting. WATCH: The Andrew Klavan Show For instance‚ a proposed Joe Biden speech was leaked by an anonymous source close to LADDIE or LADY named Fang Fang Jihad Tucker Vladimir Ilhan Stalin. The Biden speech says: “Never before have we faced so great a threat to ka-boob-acy as the rise of radical far-right Maga scabadabalism in the halls of rinky-tinkadum. Since the founding of this great ka-boob-nik rinkytinkadum has rejected scabadalism in the name of all that’s kaboo-bastic‚ but now scabadalists are thralling every sconus of kaboobacy’s tinkadum until the very swillingforth of sentastic fillemup tooters on the flink of shooga-boogacy. This admino-groin will unthrall the scabadabs from kaboob-nik’s rinkytinks and restore kaboobik wumpas of sheroob-adum or my name is not Joe Biden‚ if that is my name.” This proposed speech was later withdrawn when it turned out Biden had already said something similar in off-the-cuff remarks he had made to a 12-year-old girl while he was chasing her around the room trying to smell her hair. As the shortage of intimidating insults moves toward crisis‚ an anonymous source within the DNC named Ubersturmfuhrer Hamas von Mao tse Sanders Pressley-Ramirez‚ says the party is exploring more radical options‚ like trying to justify their policies to sentient human beings with the capacity for reason‚ or if that’s not possible‚ then just to leftist women‚ or if even they’re too intelligent‚ maybe just the CEO of NPR. Speaking on condition of anonymity‚ Mister Miss Uberstormfuhrer Pressley-Ramirez told The Daily Wire‚ “We figure‚ hey‚ we convinced our voters the climate is a crisis‚ killing babies is a human right‚ butchering children will change their sex‚ and Joe Biden wasn’t making money off his family’s influence peddling business‚ we might also get them to believe we’re turning the country to crap for a good reason. We just have to explain that high food prices help you lose weight or that letting unchecked illegals flood the country will make it easier to find a gardener who’ll murder your mother-in-law.

A massive explosion was reported Friday night at a military base of an Iranian-backed group inside Iraq that might be the result of an Israeli airstrike. The strike targeted the Popular Mobilization Force’s (PMF) Kalsu Base in the Babylon Governorate of Eastern Iraq. The PMF is a large Iraqi-state sponsored organization that is comprised of dozens of smaller militia and terrorist groups‚ many of which are backed by Iran. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and international coalition forces both issued statements indicating that they were not involved in the airstrikes. An Iraqi official told PBS News that they believe the explosion was caused by an Israeli airstrike. “An Explosion occurred at the Headquarters of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) at the Kalsu Military Base in the Al-Mashrou District on the Highway in the Northern of Babylon Governorate‚” the PMF said in a statement. “An Investigation Team immediately arrived at the Scene‚ and the Explosion caused Material Losses and Casualties. We will provide you with the Details once the Preliminary Investigation is Completed.” Videos posted online of the incident showed flames coming from the base when a powerful explosion rocked the compound. It was unclear if the explosion was the direct result of military ordnance hitting the compound or if the explosion was caused by munitions inside the compound that exploded from the flames that broke out following the alleged initial strike. The Jerusalem Post reported that there were two separate waves of strikes carried out.

Though‚ this is only one possibility of many when considering what happened tonight.”
