Alex Jones Goes Full Conspiracy Theorist & Flips Out Over Minnesota Shooter Being A 'Huge Trump Supporter'
Alex Jones, the right-wing conspiracy theorist and wearer of the world's sturdiest aluminium foil cap, has lost his mind once again after the recent shootings of two Democratic lawmakers.
If you think that Jones was upset because Minnesota House Democratic leader Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed in their home, then you don't know Alex Jones.
Jones, who still hasn't paid Sandy Hook parents their $50 million for the horrible things he said about the death of their children, is drumming up more crazy narratives because that's his brand. Jones has called the shootings a 'false flag' and even had the audacity to claim that he's 'not the conspiracy theory guy.' Jones claims that because the shooter was wearing a disguise then it's not who police believe it is.
'He's wearing a plastic mask. If you can believe it's him. This thing smells of some type of sophisticated operation,' he said, Raw Story reports.
He added, 'I said, let me see who these two Democrat lawmakers are that got shot… And what did they know? What were they about to release on Tim Walz? How do we know that wasn't a CCP operative with a rubber mask on, which they did.'
Jones went on to ask, 'What did I tell you in the last six months?'
'False flag shootings on lawmakers, on homes, on illegal alien demonstrations, on Black churches… And then I said they'll find a dead body of a MAGA supporter so that they can't defend themselves. And here we are. He's a huge Trump supporter,' he added.
If it all sounds very Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Machine, don't worry, you're not alone. Jones has a history of adding pieces that don't fit together and creating the world's most ridiculous word salad. It's kind of his thing.
Watch the whole meltdown above (Oh, and if you're wondering, the video appears on Rumble because Jones is banned from any reputable video site.
See social media's reaction to Jones' rant below.

Stephen Miller blasts ‘stupid white hippies' protesting DC crackdown
Deputy White House chief of staff Stephen Miller on Wednesday railed against what he called 'stupid white hippies' who were protesting the federal crackdown on crime in the nation's capital and argued they did not represent the citizens of Washington, D.C. Miller, Vice President Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited Union Station on Wednesday, where National Guard troops have been stationed outside for days in a show of force near the transportation hub. 'We are not going to let the communists destroy a great American city, let alone the nation's capital,' Miller told the crowd near Shake Shack inside Union Station. 'And let's just also address another thing. All these demonstrators you've seen out here in recent days, all these elderly white hippies, they're not part of the city and never have been. And by the way, most of the citizens who live in Washington, D.C., are Black.' 'So we're going to ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they're all over 90 years old,' he added. 'And we're going to get back to the business of protecting the American people and the citizens of Washington, D.C.' The Trump administration earlier this month began surging federal law enforcement across parts of the district to crack down on what the White House said was an unacceptable level of crime, despite statistics showing violent crime has declined in the city. Last week, Trump took federal control of the Metropolitan Police Department and deployed hundreds of National Guard troops across the city to further the crack down on crime. The White House has said officers across the district have made more than 550 arrests since the surge in federal resources began on Aug. 7. But local residents have largely expressed disapproval with the aggressive moves from the federal government. A Washington Post-Schar School poll of 604 D.C. residents published Wednesday found 65 percent do not think Trump's actions will make the city safer. Roughly 80 percent of residents said they opposed Trump's executive order to federalize the city's police department.

Trump calls on Federal Reserve official to resign after ally accuses her of mortgage fraud
Pulte also charged in his letter that Cook has listed her condo in Atlanta, Georgia, for rent. Mortgages for homes used as principal residences typically carry lower interest rates than properties that are purchased to rent, Pulte's letter said. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The allegation represents another front in the Trump administration's attack on the Fed, which has yet to cut its key interest rate as Trump has demanded. If Cook were to step down, then the White House could nominate a replacement. And Trump has said he would only appoint people who would support lower rates. Advertisement The more members of the Fed's governing board that Trump can appoint, the more control he will be able to assert over the Fed, which has long been considered independent from day-to-day politics. Trump will be able to replace Chair Jerome Powell in May 2026, when Powell's term expires. Yet 12 members of the Fed's interest-rate setting committee have a vote on whether to raise or lower interest rates, so even replacing the Chair doesn't guarantee that Fed policy will shift the way Trump wants. Advertisement All seven members of the Fed's governing board, however, are able to vote on rate decisions. The other five voters include the president of the Fed's New York branch and a rotating group of four of the presidents of the Fed's other 11 regional branches. Trump appointed two members of the Fed's board in his first term, Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman. Both dissented July 30 from the central bank's decision to keep its rate unchanged in favor of a rate cut. Another Fed governor, Adriana Kugler, stepped down unexpectedly Aug. 1, and Trump has appointed one of his economic advisers, Stephen Miran, to fill out the remainder of her term until January. If Trump is able to replace Cook, the first Black woman to serve on the Fed's board, as well as Kugler and Powell, that would give him a clear majority on the board of governors. Powell, however, could stay on the board after finishing his term as chair next May. The Federal Reserve declined to comment on the accusation. Trump has for months demanded that the Federal Reserve reduce the short-term interest rate it controls, which currently stands at about 4.3%. He has also repeatedly insulted Powell, who has said that the Fed would like to see more evidence of how the economy evolves in response to Trump's sweeping tariffs before making any moves. Powell has also said the duties threaten to raise inflation and slow growth. Advertisement Trump says that a lower rate would reduce the government's borrowing costs on $37 trillion in debt and boost the housing market by reducing mortgage rates. Yet mortgage borrowing costs do not always follow the Fed's rate decisions. The Trump administration has made similar claims of mortgage fraud against Democrats that Trump has attacked, including California Sen. Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

States brace for less disaster relief aid as Trump administration reshapes FEMA
The Trump administration is quickly reshaping the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, in ways that carry vast implications for state and local governments. "We're going to give out less money. We're going to give it out directly. It'll be from the president's office," President Donald Trump said at a press conference June 11. The agency is responsible for coordinating response and recovery in disasters that range from floods to wildfires to terrorist attacks. The agency reported a total budget authority of $60 billion in fiscal year 2025. Federal spending on disaster relief often draws supplemental appropriations from Congress. Critics of FEMA say the agency is slow to pay out victims and provide guidance for communities in the process of rebuilding. "We've recommended for years that they work on streamlining their recovery programs, that they better coordinate their programs so communities and survivors don't have to navigate multiple federal bureaucratic programs. And honestly, they just have not been able to do it," Chris Currie, a director at the Government Accountability Office, said in an interview with CNBC. FEMA is currently managing more than 600 open disaster declarations, some of which date back almost 20 years, according to a Government Accountability Office report published in March. The spending, according to FEMA, includes $80 million in fiscal year 2025 for recovery from Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, which devastated huge swaths of the Gulf Coast in 2005. Cuts in federal funding for disaster relief would put the burden on state and local governments in areas affected by disasters. When Hurricane Helene hit the U.S. in late September 2024, it caused $59.6 billion in damage in North Carolina, according to the Governor's Recovery Office for Western North Carolina. As of May 2025, the federal government had provided about $3.7 billion in recovery funds — approximately 6.2% of the total cost of the damage, according to Democratic Gov. Josh Stein's office. A FEMA spokesperson said in a statement to CNBC, "FEMA's principles for emergency management assert that disasters are best managed when they're federally supported, state managed and locally executed." Much work remains nearly a year after Helene damaged many parts of western North Carolina. More than 73,000 homes were damaged, according to an April report from Rep. Chuck Edwards, R-N.C. Major roadways were also damaged, including a stretch of I-40, and the state needs additional federal funds to cover the cost of road repairs, Edwards' report said. The average income in the disaster area ranges from $35,809 to $55,607, depending on the county, Edwards' report said. "To not have FEMA means that now local governments will have to deal with disaster, and it's always bigger than the revenues of the local government," said Sarah Wells Rolland, founder and owner of the Village Potters Clay Center in Asheville, North Carolina. "For the funding to be taken away I think is a colossal disaster." Wells Rolland said her business operated in Asheville's River Arts District for 13 years before Hurricane Helene passed through town. The business was destroyed by more than 24 feet of flood waters, according to NOAA. The Village Potters Clay Center, which generated about $743,000 in annual revenues in 2023, documented almost $200,000 in equipment losses, according to Wells Rolland. The business had flood insurance through FEMA's National Flood Insurance Policy and received a payment of $165,000, according to Wells Rolland. She plans to reopen this fall in a new location on higher ground. "We're an economic driver for tourism, hospitality, restaurants, regional development, you know, so we're an essential part of our economic community," said Jeffrey Burroughs, president of the River Arts District Association. "If we can't take on another loan, how do we get the funding to help sustain us so that we can stay open?" Watch the video above to see how FEMA could evolve in the coming years.
