We send our thoughts and prayers to LaPorte County Sheriff’s Deputy Jon Samuelson, his family, and his fellow officers and friends. 🙏🏻

A La Porte County sheriff’s deputy was critically wounded Friday morning, May 22, 2026, after being shot inside the emergency department at Franciscan Health Michigan City in Northwest Indiana, in an incident that began when the officer stopped to help a stranded motorist, authorities said.

Indiana State Police said Deputy Jon Samuelson, 33, was traveling near State Road 2 in the Westville area around 6:45 a.m. when he stopped to assist a driver with a disabled vehicle. The driver, later identified as Sharod Grafton Jr., 22, of Chicago, reportedly asked Samuelson for a ride to the hospital, which the deputy provided.

Once at Franciscan Health Michigan City, investigators say Samuelson learned the man may have been connected to an earlier criminal incident in Illinois. He then returned to the emergency department to make contact with Grafton, where a physical altercation broke out inside the ER.

During the struggle, Grafton allegedly pulled a handgun and fired three times, striking the deputy and critically wounding him. No patients, visitors, or hospital staff were injured during the incident.

After the shooting, the suspect fled on foot from the hospital and ran into a nearby wooded area west of the facility. Law enforcement quickly established a perimeter and located him shortly afterward. Grafton was taken into custody without further incident, and a handgun believed to have been used in the shooting was recovered.

Deputy Samuelson, a 12-year veteran of the La Porte County Sheriff’s Office and K-9 handler, was initially treated at Franciscan Health before being airlifted to Memorial Hospital in South Bend, where he remained in critical condition as of the latest updates.

Tulsi Gabbard said Friday that she is resigning as the director of national intelligence, stepping aside after her husband was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer.

"I am deeply grateful for the trust President Trump placed in me and for the opportunity to lead ODNI for the last year and a half.

Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026. My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle."

Chicago Police Officer Seriously Injured in Brass Knuckles Attack at Ambulance Scene.

A Chicago police officer is recovering after he was brutally attacked Tuesday by two suspects—one wearing brass knuckles—who were blocking an ambulance, according to family members.
The assault happened Tuesday when Officer Kevin Mangan responded to a call concerning people blocking an ambulance at the scene of an unrelated incident in the McKinley Park neighborhood, WBBM-TV reports. As Managan was writing a ticket, a woman began pounding on his cruiser, and a man allegedly wearing brass knuckles started punching the officer, Denise McBroom, Mangan's aunt, told the Tribune.
According to McBroom, the suspects, who were not connected with the ambulance call, attacked Mangan because he was a law enforcement officer.
Mangan was repeatedly struck by the suspect. The attack severely damaged his mouth.

Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for the officer's recovery🙏🏻

I am a J6er.

I protested a stolen election.  Walked right past the police through an open door, and the police let me in.

My father's step son turned me into the FBI.  My house was raided.
They branded me a traitor, and insurrectionist, slapped me on a terrorist watchlist. 

I plead guilty to illegal picketing, a Class B petty offense misdemeanor with the same sentencing guidelines as walking your dog off leash on a National Park .

They swore no prison time. They lied. Judge Hogan sentenced me to 30 days for “not being remorseful enough” and three years’ probation to tie me up through elections. 

An unconstitutional "split" sentence.  My Judge, Judge Hogan called J6 worse than the war of 1812.

All I did was chant "Stop the Steal!" inside the Capitol and wear the wrong Tshirt.

God Bless the J6ers!

The badge takes a toll far beyond what most officers see in the mirror, with many in law enforcement facing accelerated aging, chronic stress, and long-term health challenges after years on the job.

LEGACY: Tulsi Gabbard declassified highly sensitive records and internal documents from the Obama White House.

The records make an even stronger case that the 2016 Russia collusion narrative was not rooted in credible intelligence.

Rather, intelligence was manipulated by the outgoing Obama Administration in coordination with IC leadership to fit a preferred political narrative.

As of May 2026, DNI Gabbard has declassified well over half a million pages of government records that were previously withheld from the American people.

How much did you pay to register your vehicle this year in California?

I just paid over $500 for my vehicle registration.

Chad Bianco will immediately incorporate a $25 flat-fee registration for vehicles, boats, motorhomes, and motorcycles.

Real relief, for real people.
