This shooting comes after a string of drive-by shootings several nights ago in Melbourne, that resulted only in property damage. Police are investigating whether the shootings are related although they did happen in the same neighborhood.

The identity of the victim has not yet been released, as family is still being notifed.

BREAKING: Trump announces he will pardon one of the world’s most notorious drug traffickersIn a stunning announcement today, President Donald Trump publicly stated that he intends to give a “full and complete pardon” to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, a man convicted in U.S. federal court last year for trafficking more than 400 tons of cocaine into the United States and fueling one of the largest and deadliest drug trafficking conspiracies in the world.Hernandez is serving a 45 year federal prison sentence. Prosecutors say his network is responsible for countless American deaths. A jury found him guilty after mountains of evidence showed he protected cartels, used his presidential power to shield drug operations, and helped traffickers move cocaine directly into the U.S.Trump now claims Hernandez was treated “very unfairly” and says he deserves a pardon.At the same time, Trump is openly pressuring voters in Honduras to elect Tito Asfura on November 30, saying the United States will only support Honduras if Asfura wins. He directly tied the future pardon of Hernandez to the outcome of that election.Trump wrote that he will grant the pardon “after Tito Asfura wins the Election” and congratulated Hernandez on his “upcoming pardon.”This would be an unprecedented move: the sitting U.S. president pledging to free a foreign leader convicted of flooding the U.S. with cocaine, while simultaneously warning another country that America’s support depends on electing Trump’s preferred candidate.People concerned about border security, cartel violence, drug trafficking, and the fentanyl crisis are asking the same question:How does pardoning a convicted kingpin who poisoned American communities make the United States safer? ...

Byron Donalds Blames Biden for Vetting an Afghan Ally Who Was Actually Approved Under Trump’s DHSCongressman Byron Donalds is suddenly demanding answers about “unvetted Afghans” after the tragic shooting of two National Guardsmen this week. But the facts tell a very different story.Back in 2021, Donalds attacked the Biden administration for requiring Afghan allies to be vetted and show paperwork. He complained that Biden’s team was slowing everything down with “vetting and paperwork."Today, Donalds is claiming Biden didn’t vet Afghan arrivals at all.Here is what he is not mentioning:The suspect involved in the D.C. attack was granted asylum in April 2025 under the Trump administration. He applied in December 2024, and every part of his vetting was completed by Trump’s agencies, including DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who oversaw the asylum process at the time.And Donalds’ own voting record contradicts his new outrage.Donalds voted YES on H.R. 3985, the ALLIES Act, a bill that:• Added 8,000 Afghan Special Immigrant Visas• Sped up visas for Afghan allies who helped U.S. forces• Streamlined checks and reduced processing barriers during the Afghanistan withdrawalSo in 2021, Donalds said Afghan allies were being vetted too strictly and needed to be expedited.Now he claims they were never vetted at all.But the man he blames Biden for letting in was fully vetted and approved under Trump’s DHS, led by Secretary Noem.Donalds’ old tweets, his vote on the ALLIES Act, and the asylum timeline all tell a story that completely contradicts the one he is pushing today. It's yet another example of how many elected officials will say anything when it's convenient and serves them despite their actions of the past to the contrary. ... See MoreSee Less
