President Donald Trump said after a nearly three-hour White House meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that “there was nothing definitive reached” beyond his insistence that negotiations with Iran continue — warning that if a deal cannot be “consummated,” “we will just have to see what the outcome will be,” as the Pentagon readies a second aircraft carrier for possible deployment to the Middle East.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have identified the 18-year-old man who shot and killed six people at a school in British Columbia, critically injuring two, and wounding about 25 others. He identified as a woman, authorities have confirmed.

Jesse Van Rootselaar first killed his mother, 39, and his 11-year-old step-brother at their family home in the remote community of Tumbler Ridge, before targeting Tumbler Ridge Secondary School Tuesday.

At the school, he shot and killed a 39-year-old female teacher, three 12-year-old female students, and two male students, aged 12 and 13. As police arrived, he shot at them, but officers found the shooter dead from an apparent suicide.

“We do believe the suspect acted alone … it would be too early to speculate on motive,” Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald said in a press conference Wednesday.

McDonald said Van Rootselaar was born male but began to identify as female six years ago, Reuters reported.

“Yes that is the information that we have,” RCMP Sergeant Vanessa Munn told The Daily Signal.

The shooting ranks among the deadliest in Canadian history.

Prime Minister Mark Carney postponed his trip to Europe and ordered flags on government buildings to be flown at half-mast for the next seven days.

“Right now, it’s a time to come together, as Canadians always do in these situations, these terrible situations, to support each other, to mourn together and to grow together,” he said.

In April 2020, a 51-year-old man disguised in a police uniform killed 22 people in Nova Scotia in multiple shootings and setting fire to homes, before police killed him.

Transgender-Motivated Violence and Threats

While Van Rootselaar’s motive remains unclear, this shooting comes after a string of violence and threats from perpetrators who identified as transgender or supported transgenderism.

In September, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed reports that 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who has been charged with Charlie Kirk’s murder, was living with a boyfriend who identifies as transgender. Robinson reportedly confessed to his boyfriend that he committed the murder.

Authorities reportedly confirmed that 23-year-old Robin Westman, a male born Robert Westman, opened fire at Annunciation Church in Minneapolis in August, killing two children and injuring 17 others.

Audrey Elizabeth Hale, 28, reportedly identified as male. She shot and killed three children and three adults on March 27, 2023, at The Covenant School, a Presbyterian school in Nashville, Tennessee. Police fatally shot her during the attack.

According to a court document obtained by The Daily Signal, the man who tried to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in June 2022 identifies as a woman. Nicholas Roske, who was 29 when he pleaded guilty in April, identifies as Sophie Roske in a court document.

On May 7, 2019, then-16-year-old Maya “Alec” McKinney and her 19-year-old fellow student, Devon Erickson, opened fire at STEM School Highlands Ranch in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, killing one and injuring eight. Both have been sentenced to life in prison. McKinney, a female, identifies as male.

In June 2024, a judge sentenced Jason Lee Willie, a man who identifies as a woman and goes by Alexia, to one year in prison after he pleaded guilty to threatening to injure people across state lines. Willie, a resident of Nashville, Illinois, confessed to threatening to rape girls in girls’ restrooms, carry out mass shootings at schools, and bomb churches.

When it comes to the Olympics certain things are no brainers. Don’t ski jump in high heels. Don’t do mixed doubles curling with an ex-spouse. Don’t do a two-man luge with JB Pritzer on top.

I would add, “Don’t trash the nation you’re there to represent.”

Apparently, several members of Team USA don’t have brains.

It started with American skier Hunter Hess who declared at an Olympic press conference that he has “mixed emotions” about representing his country because of ICE. “Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the U.S.”

Fellow skier Chris Lillis also trashed ICE. “I think that as a country we need to focus on respecting everybody’s rights and making sure that we’re treating our citizens as well as anybody with love and respect,” Lillis said.

Gus Kenworthy an American who left Team USA to compete for Great Britain used “urine snow art” to spell out “F— ICE.” On Saturday, he doubled down on his criticism and whined about the heat he’s getting for the vulgar act.

Curler Rich Ruohonen said he’s proud to represent the USA, “But we’d be remiss if we didn’t at least mention what’s going on in Minnesota.” 

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer in Minnesota. Good to know if you’re an ICE agent hit by a protester’s SUV.

In fairness, Hess has seen the light … or at least his PR team has. Days after his nay-nay about the USA, Hess has gone all Captain America. Hess posted “I love my country. There is so much that is great about America, but there are always things that could be better. One of the many things that makes this country so amazing is that we have the right and freedom to point that out. … I cannot want to represent Team USA next week when I compete.”  

While Hess’s star-spangled 180 is appreciated, the reality remains there’s a time and place for pointing out America’s faults. And the Olympics ain’t it. Especially when sitting in a host country we rescued from Mussolini and Hitler.

Then there’s figure skater Amber Glenn. Glenn also spoke out against United States at a presser in Milan, with the openly bi- and pansexual athlete claiming “It’s been a hard time for the (LGBTQ) community overall in this administration.” (“Hold my non-alcoholic beer,” said athletes from Saudi Arabia.)

Glenn went onto say she wasn’t going to “shut up about politics” during the Games.

“I hope I can use my platform and my voice throughout these Games to try and encourage people to stay strong in these hard times. I know that a lot of people say you’re just an athlete, like, stick to your job, shut up about politics, but politics affect us all.”

So many have already pointed out how unpatriotic these athletes are being. How ungrateful to America and what America means to the world. How disrespectful to the Americans of different political beliefs who they are in Milan to represent. Vice President JD Vance said as much Wednesday.

But I want to say, simply from a competitive point of view: How fundamentally stupid of the athletes!

Their political blabber is wonderful news for their competitors because of what we can call “The Rapinoe Effect.” It reads, “Any athlete or team that trashes the USA while representing the USA is very likely to turn from champ to chump.”

It’s named after soccer great Megan Rapinoe who instantly transformed the mighty national women’s team into also-rans the minute she began mouthing off against America and pushing teammates to take a knee for the National Anthem. The Rapinoe Effect crystalized at the 2023 Women’s World Cup where for the first time in her illustrious career Rapinoe blew a penalty kick, sending Team USA to humiliating defeat.

Already we are seeing the Rapinoe Effect at the Olympics.

On Sunday, Glenn gave such a “disappointing,” “lackluster” performance during the Team Skating competition that she publicly apologized to her teammates. But for a heroic performance by “Quad God” Ilia Malinin, Glenn would have cost Team USA the gold.

Karma? Perhaps. Loss of focus? Definitely. Every minute you are thinking about ICE in Minnesota is a minute you’re not thinking about the ice and snow in Milan.

Mom didn’t get up at 4 A.M to drive you to practice for all those years so you could get to the Olympics and talk about politics. Get on the medal stand, get back on American soil, then get on your soap box.

However, something bigger is at play.

These athletes are giving away the competitive advantage of the collective American spirit. President Donald Trump in his Truth Social post ripping Hess as a “loser,” added, “Very hard to root for someone like this.”  

Yes. And that is the root cause of the Rapinoe Effect. When you are representing the USA and you willingly give up the full-hearted backing of half the USA, you are diminishing the power that can propel you to victory. That unseen push that shaves a crucial fraction of a second off your time. The hand that keeps you upright when you otherwise would have fallen.

That Spirit of 1776 strength and swagger that allowed a bunch of college kids in 1980 to take down the most powerful, experienced hockey team ever assembled.

“Do you believe in miracles?” Yes. And I believe in the force that charges such miracles. Simply put: “USA! USA! USA!”

May all our Olympic athletes—starting with Glenn and Hess—come to believe.

MILAN — In a move designed to boost the level of interest from viewers and athletes alike, the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics introduced an exciting new event in the Septuple Luge competition.

The following is a preview of Daily Signal Politics Editor Bradley Devlin’s interview with State Department Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott on “The Signal Sitdown.” The full interview premieres on The Daily Signal’s YouTube page at 6:30 a.m. eastern on Feb. 12.

It has been five weeks since the U.S. removed former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro from power. But the question on everyone’s mind is what comes next now that Maduro is no longer in power.

State Department Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott joined “The Signal Sitdown” this week to discuss the Trump administration’s plan for Venezuela.

President Donald Trump’s administration has implemented a three-phase plan for the future of Venezuela, a process that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has hinted could be a long process.

“I can’t give you a timeline of how long it takes,” Rubio said at a Jan. 28 Senate hearing. “It can’t take forever. I get it. We all want something immediately. But this is not a frozen dinner you put in a microwave and in two and a half minutes it comes out ready to eat.”

Pigott explained the administration’s phased approach.

“First, the stability of Venezuela. Second, the recovery, where you might see the beginnings of investment, in oil infrastructure, for example,” Pigott said. “Then the third phase being that transition to a longer-term situation where hopefully you have a reliable partner in the region.”

Pigott claimed that the cooperation between Venezuela and the United States, especially in the oil industry, is improving conditions in Venezuela.

“The oil deal was an important part of this,” Pigott said, referencing changes that will allow American companies to invest in Venezuela’s oil industry. “Seeing that stabilization, those constructive conversations with the interim authorities,” makes a path forward possible.

New “revenue wasn’t used to go to a corrupt regime, prop up the corrupt regime, and instead used to benefit the people of Venezuela,” Pigott added.

“Part of that phase two, [will be] seeing companies go in there, invest, and hopefully, as the secretary says, we have a normal oil infrastructure, a normal oil industry, in Venezuela,” he continued.

Pigott confirmed that the U.S. maintains communication with Venezuela’s interim authorities “pretty regularly.”

“There’s a degree of conversations that are happening across different levels of government,” he said. “We have a new director of our Venezuelan affairs unit, for example, who’s had different conversations with the interim authorities there,” as stability remains America’s top concern in Venezuela.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced new initiatives to encourage Americans to “Eat Real Food.”

“I’m happy to announce that today we are at [the Department of Agriculture] releasing new guidance for all regional and state directors of our child nutrition programs,” Rollins said Wednesday.

She added the guidance would be “encouraging them today to familiarize themselves with the key recommendations and consider how these guidelines and how they will be incorporated into program meals and snacks as we continue to promote and build healthy outcomes and healthy families.”

The Department of Agriculture will release a proposed child nutrition rule in about a month, Rollins said.

“We are restoring common sense, we are restoring scientific integrity, and we are restoring accountability to federal food and health policy,” she said.

The Trump administration says it is also bringing healthier foods to members of the military.

“Our mission is to ensure that the American soldier is the most fueled, most fit and most lethal human weapon system on the planet,” Army Undersecretary Mike Obadal said. “To achieve this, we’re introducing a campus-style dining model across our training centers.”

Army dining facilities are being shifted to a restaurant style model with multiple food stations with extended service hours, starting with a pilot location in Fort Carson, Colorado, opening this spring.

“By focusing on the root causes of our health crisis, we’ll achieve an army that doesn’t meet standards but sets them,” Obadal said. “We are building forces leaner, faster, and ready to meet today’s challenges.”

Rollins also announced that USDA is about to finalize its new stocking standards, meaning the 250,000 retailers who accept food stamps from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and electronic benefits transfers, will have to more than double the healthy food offerings that they have on the shelves.

“These actions, alongside removing the waste and the fraud and the abuse from the SNAP program, continue to be key priorities at the U.S. Department of Agriculture,” Rollins said.

Kennedy and Rollins touted efforts to make eating “real food” more affordable.

“We don’t need more money,” Kennedy said. “We just need to be smarter, and that what this administration is about.”

For the first time, the Food and Drug Administration is establishing a clear definition of ultra-processed foods, which will influence federal purchasing decisions, Kennedy said.

Additionally, for the first time in decades, the FDA will require notification and a safety review if a company is introducing new chemicals into the food supply.

“We are also partnering with innovators, designers, and advocates to deliver a clear, positive message that healthy food is achievable, practical, affordable, and within reach of every American family,” Kennedy said.
