A Yadkin County school counselor currently under investigation for 12 counts has resigned after making comments about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on social media. Amanda Brewer was a school counselor at Boonville Elementary School. She resigned yesterday after the school district began an investigation. Brewer posted on social media, “I am disappointed that the shooter missed and disgusted with myself.” Brewer also said her comments were quoted out of context. She continued, “I had a very weak moment. I felt the need to take full responsibility and do something. I'm not that type of person. I will never condone violence.” End quote. The timeline of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump is beginning to emerge. New details shed light on what the gunman did that day and suggest how he got past security. Amy Kiley gives the latest update. How did it happen? New information has shed light on how the gunman escaped security and shot former President Donald Trump on Saturday. Law enforcement officials say the gunman asked to take the day off work. He brought a rangefinder to the rally. It's a device that looks like a small pair of binoculars, but it's used by shooters to gauge distances when preparing to fire from long distances. It's not a weapon. So the security let him through. But they flagged him down. What for? Is he holding this in his hand? The would-be assassin then exited the security area, according to investigators. It's not known where he went, but it's believed he likely got a rifle from a car and climbed onto an air conditioning unit and onto a roof outside the perimeter. This is the story of a senior federal law enforcement official. He picks up the rangefinder and looks through it at the countersniper position. And one of the countersniper positions looks at him through the scope. At this point, there is no gun in the photo. From what I understand. But they say he sees us, him. Another official says it was around that time that witnesses saw him and called police. Video analysis shows the shooting started about two minutes later. Went there to have a good time with my family, and then the unthinkable happened. A total break-in and security failure is the cause. Amy Kiley WXII 12 News. Triad Democrats spoke with us about Saturday's shooting. Kathy Manning calls the assassination attempt “horrifying.” The Greensboro Democrat thinks political violence is getting out of hand. She cited recent attacks on members of Congress and their families, and the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol as examples. We can disagree on who to put in elected office, but trying to resolve our differences with guns is despicable. We have to find a way to get to a better place. The hurtful things he says about people, immigrants, women and minorities are wrong. That's the wrong way to talk. Rep. Manning is not seeking reelection this year. She blames her decision on gerrymandering. Another Democrat from Guilford County is resigning from her seat in the North Carolina General Assembly. Ashton Clemons represents House District 57. She says she is taking policy positions in the University of North Carolina System. She will be vice chancellor for strategy and policy for P-12. Clemons has served in the House since 2019.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.
