A 12-year-old Florida girl was arrested after she posted online a "detailed manifesto" about carrying out a mass shooting at a middle school due to bullying, authorities said.

The Volusia County Sheriff's Office said it got word overnight Monday about the manifesto "describing at length a plan to carry out a mass shooting at Southwestern Middle School due to bullying. Deputies acted quickly to investigate the threat and identify the student responsible."

When detectives spoke with the suspect, she first denied any involvement but later admitted to making the plan and posting it online, the station said.

The school is in DeLand, which is about 45 minutes north of Orlando.

The student was "placed under arrest for making written threats to kill and misuse of a 2-way communications device," the sheriff's office added.

Blaze News is not naming or showing the face of the suspect due to her age.

According to WOFL-TV, a friend gave the tipster the information about the manifesto, and the tipster wanted to report the information.

The station said the mass shooting plan was posted to a website — but while the plan had been taken down, the comments and username remained, the station said.

Investigators traced the IP address to DeLand and identified the suspect — a student at Southwestern Middle School, WOFL said.

Citing the arrest affidavit, the station noted that the mass shooting plan detailed when to arrive at school, where to meet up, what time to start the shooting — and even identified a teacher who "gave me an F- on my test" and named students.

WOFL said that when investigators spoke with the teacher in question, she looked at her grades to see which students had received an F, and investigators verified that the suspect was one of those students.

The station, citing the affidavit, said investigators also asked the student named in the plan if there were any students who made fun of him or didn't like him — and he recalled the suspect, who was in his math class.

Investigators also spoke with the boy whom the suspect said would help her with her plan, WOFL said, and the boy later admitted his friend — the suspect — was the one who made the plan to shoot up the school.

When detectives spoke with the suspect, she first denied any involvement but later admitted to making the plan and posting it online, the station said.

Deputies arrested the suspect around 1:30 a.m. Monday, WOFL reported, adding that she soon was taken to the Volusia Family Resource Center.

Blaze News over the last several months has reported about Florida authorities accusing teens — and those even younger — of making similar threats and arresting them. What's more, law enforcement agencies frequently have released the names and images of the young suspects, a decision that hasn't made every observer happy.

• Earlier this month, a pair of 15-year-olds were arrested after being accused of threatening to shoot up high schools, police said.
• In late October, an 11-year-old girl was arrested after writing a "kill list" at her desk at school, police said. Then just two weeks later, an 11-year-old boy from the same school district was arrested after allegedly creating a "kill list" at school, police said.
• Also in October, a Florida sheriff's office came under fire for posting 9-year-old male's mug shot on Facebook after his felony arrest for allegedly bringing a knife into his elementary school.
• Just a week prior, that same sheriff's office said a 10-year-old was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, a third-degree felony, after bringing a pocketknife to school and threatening another student. The sheriff's office posted the suspect's name and mug shot.

California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom did his best to relate to an Atlanta, Georgia, audience at a recent book tour stop — but he may have insulted the audience instead.

"I'm not trying to impress you," Newsom told Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens at the event. "I'm just trying to impress upon you: I'm like you. I'm no better than you. You know, I'm a 960 SAT guy."

“And you know, and I’m not trying to offend anyone, you know, trying to act all there if you got 940. Literally a 960 SAT guy,” Newsom said.

“You’ve never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech. Maybe the wrong business to be in,” he added.

“Dig that hole!” says Keith Malinak, executive producer of “Pat Gray Unleashed.”

“So he just called all these blacks stupid," BlazeTV host Pat Gray comments, shocked.

“‘I’m just stupid like you are,’” Gray mocks. “‘I’m assuming that every one of you got a 960 on your SAT or less.’”

“‘And you can’t read. Just like me,’” BlazeTV contributor Jeff Fisher chimes in.

“Will this stick?” asks Keith. “We may not know for a while if it sticks or not. We may have to wait until the Democrat primary to see if maybe a black candidate comes out and drops this reminder on everybody.”

A substitute transgender teacher at a Fort Bragg elementary school was reportedly fired after parents complained about inappropriate attire and behavior in a kindergarten classroom.

The judicial power, and duty, to invalidate unconstitutional laws wasn’t the work of one inventive judge.

One might look at a map of the Pacific and see not nations or cultures, but single points of failure. A current focus of the United States is Taiwan, a humid, densely populated island that holds the world’s advanced chip capacity in a terrified embrace. The new conversation, the one taking place in strategy memos and industrial planning committees, seeks a failover, a backup system, cooler and less contested. The location is Hokkaido.

The Japan External Trade Organization does not suggest that this Northern Japanese island would entirely replace the sweltering, sleepless efficiency of Hsinchu Science Park. The ecosystem in Taiwan is too sticky, too deeply rooted in decades of institutional memory to be simply lifted and dropped elsewhere. Instead, Hokkaido would be a geopolitical insurance policy, a second, colder, resource-abundant location where a new chip cluster could be built, far from the Taiwan Strait, in a place where the water is plentiful and the missiles are more friendly.

Technology can transform a place from a frontier of agrarian settlement to a node in a global machine.

The analogy between the two islands is tempting, but it highlights difficulty as well as opportunity. Taiwan’s dominance was not an accident of geography; its capacity was built over decades, a deliberate accretion of state-backed R&D institutes and land policy that treated universities and public infrastructure as tools of industrialization. For Hokkaido to become the “new Taiwan,” this density, the sheer weight of human skill and accumulated knowledge, would need to be duplicated. The timeline to do so might be longer than desired.

The centerpiece of this ambition is a company called Rapidus and a site in the Chitose area known as IIM-1. The timeline is aggressive: a pilot line begun in 2025, mass production by 2027. The goal is the 2nm-class chip, utilizing gate-all-around structures, a technology at the threshold of modern capability. Rapidus has already installed an EUV lithography tool, a machine that uses 13.5 nanometer wavelength light to print patterns so fine they exist at the edge of visibility.

An EUV scanner is not just a machine. It is a geopolitical asset, intertwined with export controls, national anxieties, and the supply chains that have become a source of concern. The machine sits in Hokkaido, but the sociotechnical world required to run it has yet to be assembled. Advanced manufacturing depends on highly situated know-how, the yield learning and micro-decisions of production that do not travel well. One recalls the friction of bringing the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company to Arizona, where the transplant of a workplace culture proved harder than the pouring of concrete.

However, Hokkaido does offer something Arizona cannot: water. A region holds a portfolio of critical features: water security, renewable energy, risk distribution. Taiwan has been plagued by droughts that force chipmakers to truck in water, a reminder that the most advanced technologies still rely on the Earth. Hokkaido, by contrast, touts its snowmelt and its wind. Rapidus explicitly lists abundant water and the attractiveness for living as key reasons for its location.

The strategy bleeds into something like lifestyle marketing. The “Hokkaido Valley” is being sold not only as an excellent location for factories, but as a cure for the density of metropolitan life. The location attempts to solve two problems at once: the fragility of the global chip supply and the demographic collapse of rural Japan. The country’s development plans have long been concerned with population decline and the survival of communities. The semiconductor strategy offers a new answer: import the engineers, promise them nature, and call it compute sovereignty.

The project is not without risks. Tacit yield knowledge cannot be moved like a warehouse. An attempt to compress Taiwan’s 40 years of industrial layering into a single decade in Chitose is a gamble. Yet there is already motion toward the new location. By early 2026, reports surfaced of TSMC planning 3nm production in Japan, alongside Rapidus’ 2nm targets. The vision is of a multisite future, a diversification of risk across a map that feels increasingly unsafe.

The redesign of Hokkaido as an interface between global networks and local survival is instructive. The government of Japan is now planning for a future in which semiconductor-related total sales are a metric of national health. Technology can transform a place from a frontier of agrarian settlement to a node in a global machine, where the water and the wind and the cold are no longer just weather, but assets in a calculation of security. The chips, if they come, will be small. The rearrangement of the world required to make them is very large.

Among the many guests at President Donald Trump's first State of the Union address of his second term will be the widow of Charlie Kirk, according to the Daily Wire.

Erika Kirk took the reins of her husband's company, Turning Point USA, after his assassination in Utah and has become a leading voice in the pro-Trump movement.

'She has risen to the occasion with grace, dignity, and a lot of hard work.'

"President Trump has been a source of strength for Erika, constantly checking in with her over the last five months, and Erika is incredibly honored to be invited by the president to attend tonight’s State of the Union,” said TPUSA spokesman Matt Shupe to the Daily Wire.

"Erika has been thrust into an enormously important role by fate and tragedy and because Charlie chose her should the horrible moment ever come, and she has risen to the occasion with grace, dignity, and a lot of hard work."

Kirk surprised many at her husband's memorial in September by publicly forgiving the man accused of the killing.

"That young man, that young man," she said. "On the Cross, Our Savior said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’ That man, that young man, I forgive him. I forgive him because it was what Christ did and is what Charlie would do."

She added, "The answer to hate is not hate. The answer, we know, from the gospel is love and always love."

BlazeTV will provide full coverage of the State of the Union address beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET Tuesday with analysis and commentary from hosts Allie Beth Stuckey, Stu Burguiere, Steve Deace, and others.

Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old man accused of killing Charlie Kirk, is facing numerous charges, including murder, after his family reportedly persuaded him to turn himself in to law enforcement. Many suspect that his relationship with a trans-identifying man was part of the alleged motivation for the political violence.

Mrs. Kirk's elevation to lead TPUSA has also led to some unhinged conspiracy theories accusing her of participating in an operation to kill her husband.
