Charles “Brook” Allen, 48, was previously incarcerated for vehicular manslaughter while driving under the influence in his early 20s and is currently a defendant in two court cases regarding his businesses, one of which involves a misdemeanor charge. Allen is running in the June primary election for the District 5 seat that represents a sprawling portion of eastern Madera County, including Tesoro Viejo, Oakhurst, Coarsegold and other foothill communities. 

Kings County Superior Court on Thursday denied Avenal’s request for a preliminary injunction, allowing the recall election to proceed as scheduled. The election to recall city council members Leticia Gamez, David Reynosa, Pablo Hernandez and Mayor Alvaro Preciado, is Tuesday. Preciado and Hernandez’s terms expires in November. Gamez and Reynosa’s terms expire in 2028.

A 144th Air National Guard F‑15 pilot lost their canopy mid‑flight after completing a flyover at the Clovis Rodeo. Following the incident, the jet circled to burn off fuel before safely landing at Fresno Yosemite International Airport with no injuries reported. Firefighters responded swiftly and the military is now investigating the mechanical failure. 

Photos of the lots have been circulating on social media and have some residents worried the change will lead to increases in traffic in the surrounding neighborhoods as drivers look for free parking. To be clear: These are not city-run parking lots and don’t reflect any change at the municipal level. 

The woman famously rescued as “Baby Jessica” from a Texas well in 1987 is now facing assault charges, according to police. Authorities say the case is unrelated to her childhood rescue, which captivated the nation, but the arrest has drawn renewed public attention decades later.

A Wall Street Journal opinion column argues that efforts to normalize and expand marijuana use gloss over its risks and downsides. The piece contends legalization has been oversold as harmless, warning that public health, safety, and social costs are being ignored as cannabis policy continues to loosen.

Welch Public Schools in Oklahoma have eliminated Chromebooks to reduce classroom distractions and boost focus. Superintendent Jeremy Ramsey says face-to-face instruction—with books, pens, and paper—is leading to better student attention and interaction. This shift builds on a state-wide “Bell-to-Bell” law banning cell phones during class, which officials claim has already improved behavior and learning.

Clint Olivier joins Philip Teresi to talks about the ballroom suit, Cole Allen and Left Wing conspiracy theories.

The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit over the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, targeting the Trump International Hotel ballroom where the incident occurred. Federal officials allege security failures contributed to the attack, as investigators continue examining how the suspect gained access and how protections broke down. 

A Wall Street Journal opinion column argues that Washington has quietly embraced a form of government power that punishes without due process, comparing it to a “friendly federal assassin.” The piece criticizes the growing use of executive actions, sanctions, and administrative penalties that bypass courts, warning they pose long‑term risks to civil liberties and democratic accountability. 

Fox News hosts and contributors pushed back on left‑wing claims that the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting was a “false flag”, calling the theories disturbing and irresponsible. The segment criticized online conspiracy narratives spreading after the attack, arguing they undermine facts, fuel misinformation, and distract from the real security failures under investigation.

Clint Olivier joins Philip Teresi after writing an opinion piece on the San Joaquin Valley Sun that warns a well‑intended tech policy could drain capital from the Central Valley’s local economy. The piece argues the proposed GENIUS Act, while promoting innovation in digital finance, may pull deposits away from community banks, weakening lending for farmers, small businesses, and entrepreneurs who rely on local, relationship‑based banking. Olivier urges lawmakers to balance innovation with strong safeguards and protections, so Silicon Valley‑style finance doesn’t come at the expense of the Valley’s economic lifeblood.

An old ABC‑LA interview from 2017 has resurfaced after investigators identified a Torrance, California man as the suspect in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting. The video shows Cole Allen, then a CalTech student, promoting a wheelchair‑safety invention—years before authorities say he charged past security and opened fire, prompting a rapid Secret Service response that protected top officials. 

KCRA fact‑checks viral claims and misinformation that spread after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, clarifying what actually happened and what did not. Authorities say the suspect, Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, fired shots outside the ballroom, not inside it, and was quickly subdued by the Secret Service—with one agent injured but protected by a bulletproof vest. The report debunks false online rumors, confirms the key facts of the attack, and underscores how quickly misinformation filled gaps in the chaotic moments after the security breach.

The Justice Department has begun the formal process to reschedule marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, a major shift in federal drug policy. The change would not legalize cannabis nationwide, but it could ease restrictions on medical marijuana, expand research, and reduce tax burdens for legal cannabis businesses. 

A Wall Street Journal report says rising drink prices are pushing adults to “pre‑game” again, drinking at home before going out — a habit once associated with college life. With cocktails now topping $18 in many cities, consumers are cutting bar tabs by arriving buzzed, reshaping nightlife habits and how bars think about pricing and profits. 

The Onion is moving forward with its satirical takeover of Infowars, outlining plans to transform the conspiracy‑driven platform into a parody of itself. The move follows Alex Jones’ legal and financial collapse, turning Infowars into a case study of how satire, accountability, and media extremism collide.

A Wall Street Journal report says Kristi Noem continued using a Coast Guard waterfront residence even after being ousted from her role overseeing the department. The arrangement is drawing scrutiny over access, privileges, and the use of government property by former officials.
