JUST IN: The man who stopped the school shooting in Bend, Oregon, has been identified as 36-year-old Kalub Giamanco.
Giamanco, a carpenter, was reportedly driving home for lunch when he heard gunshots.
After hearing the gunshots, Giamanco, who has a concealed carry permit, followed the suspect into the school.
He then shot and killed 16-year-old John J Griffin moments after the teen opened fire into a special education classroom.
Giamanco, who has two children of his own who attend the school, is family friends with one of the victims, a 7-year-old who uses a wheelchair and was shot in the face.
The 7-year-old survived and is in the hospital.
Three children at Silver Rail Elementary School were killed. Their ages are 5, 8, and 11.
According to Giamanco's brother, Giamanco doesn't feel like a hero because he feels guilty for not being able to save more children.
You are a hero, Kalub.

🚨BREAKING: Daniel Penny is fighting BACK!
The Marine veteran who was dragged through a politically motivated prosecution by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is now taking the fight to them.
Bragg charged Penny over the 2023 subway incident involving Jordan Neely — a case that sparked national outrage. After sitting through a highly publicized trial, a jury saw through the politics and acquitted him on ALL charges.
Now the tables have turned.
Penny is suing Bragg and others involved for what he says was a malicious, politically driven attempt to destroy his life.
He stood up on that subway. He was vindicated in court. Now he wants accountability.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin just CALLED OUT the anti-Trump media bias right to Margaret Brennan’s face on CBS.
Brennan was spiraling over ads touting President Trump’s accomplishments, including securing the border.
Mullin’s defense was pitch perfect.
MULLIN: “Any time we can do a public service announcement and brag about America, I’m all for it.”
“You have so much negative media that’s out there by fake media that’s constant controversy. If it bleeds, it leads.”
“I think 99% of the coverage of President Trump is negative.”
“The majority of it is negative about our country, and supposedly the direction that we’re headed, but yet murder rates are down to a 126-year low.”
“We have the most secure borders in our nation’s history…”
“We should be bragging about what’s happening inside America!”
Brennan hated every moment of this. Well done.

🇺🇸 SCOTT BESSENT JUST POSTED THIS:
Dear Senator Elizabeth Warren:
I have received your October 7 letter, which adds to the mounting body of evidence of your complete paucity of knowledge about financial markets. Rather than take my suggestion of studying introductory economics, you have continued your letter-writing crusade and participation in tabloid fodder about the Treasury Department.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to treat your concerns as sincere. As the federal funds rate climbed from near zero to its highest level in 22 years, with inflation hitting a 40-year high, you were a cheerleader for the Biden Administration’s reckless spending. You blamed the economic consequences on the Federal Reserve, rather than your own irresponsible fiscal policies. Your view of the economy depends on who occupies the White House, but your woeful understanding of the issues is consistent.
The “interventions” you describe as “unprecedented” have been underway since May 2024. The buyback program has been well received by market participants in bolstering Treasury liquidity, which reduces market volatility, increases the convenience yield of Treasury securities and ensures the best value for the taxpayer. The continued enhancements optimize Treasury market liquidity in primary and secondary markets. The U.S. Treasury market’s liquidity and performance versus global peers is evidence.
While you voted for a $5 trillion tax hike on everyday Americans, the Working Families Tax Cuts continue to deliver for families and workers across the country. The average refund this filing season was over $3,400, an increase of 11 percent over the previous year. More than 30 million workers claimed No Tax on Overtime, more than 7 million claimed No Tax on Tips, and more than 37 million seniors claimed their enhanced deduction. More than 34 million families claimed the permanently enhanced Child Tax Credit, and millions of families are utilizing Trump Accounts to unlock a new savings vehicle for children. All of which you voted against.
These results are made possible by the employees of the Department of the Treasury, who are working around the clock for the American people. Unsurprisingly, you have responded by criticizing their dedication and aptitude for the job in a recent interview.¹ Despite your malign characterization, the Domestic Finance team you alluded to in your interview is fully staffed relative to historical levels. It is ironic that you have voted against every presidential appointee for a position at Treasury, no matter how impressive the qualifications for the role. Given your newfound interest in Department personnel, I challenge you to reverse course and thoughtfully engage with future nominees and support their confirmation.
Finally, my offer of a Foreign Exchange for Dummies tutorial still stands and if you receive a passing grade on the Yale metric, not the Harvard curve, I would be happy to also include a Fixed Income for Dummies.
Sincerely,
Scott Bessent
Then he finished with a handwritten note ✍️
Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day in advance to you and your family.

CNN published a deeply misleading story and headline suggesting that my diplomatic work in the Middle East somehow benefited investments in Israeli defense companies.
But CNN’s own reporting says otherwise. Buried behind a paywall, it acknowledges: “CNN found no indication that Kushner’s actions as a diplomat directly affected the investments reviewed.”
Phoenix is not a defense company. It is one of Israel’s largest publicly traded financial institutions, highly regulated and managing approximately $220 billion across thousands of investments.
Think of Phoenix as the Israeli equivalent of Vanguard or Fidelity. It manages the retirement savings of millions of Israelis. The savers don’t choose the individual investments, and neither do I. I have no role in deciding what Phoenix buys or sells. It has performed very well for Affinity and our investors, up more than five times since our initial investment.
Affinity is an SEC-registered investment firm. Our investment in Phoenix is public and dates to before President Trump was re-elected and before I returned to public service. Affinity does not own the defense companies highlighted in CNN’s story.
Those facts make for a less provocative headline, but a much more accurate story.
Misleading stories will not distract me from the work President Trump asked me to do: help end wars, bring people together and pursue peace. That work is too important.

John Fetterman says Hillary Clinton belongs in prison, and he told Jake Tapper exactly why.
"If not Benghazi, then Uranium One," Fetterman listed. "If not those, then Kremlin emails on her bathroom server."
Tapper tried interrupting. Fetterman shut him down.
"Cut the crap, Jake. We all know she did it."
Even Democrats are done covering for the Clinton crime family. — with Michael Lulow and 6 others.

“He said things that no woman should have to hear.”
The suit is asking for $100 million in punitive damages.
Share this everywhere so they see Natalie Harp just slapped Kimmel with a $100 million lawsuit for crossing the line!

The mother of murdered 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman says she could hear lawmakers laughing while she testified about losing her daughter, and she singled out Rep. Pramila Jayapal for telling the families there were “many other things we could be doing.”
Jessica Gorman didn't hold back Thursday.
“They give us five minutes to tell our daughter's story. Our dead children's story. She listened to four before mine. She didn't want to listen to another.”
Gorman also accused Rep. Jerry Nadler of napping during the congressional hearing.
Sheridan was an 18-year-old freshman at Loyola University Chicago when she was shot and killed near the Chicago lakefront in March. Jose Medina, a Venezuelan national who entered the U.S. illegally and had previously been released following a shoplifting arrest, is charged with her murder.
Jessica Gorman said the families came to Congress to tell lawmakers what happened to their children. Her message Thursday was simple: they deserved to be heard.
