Prosecutors in the murder trial of Karmelo Anthony reportedly dismissed several potential jurors after they expressed hesitation about convicting the teenager if it could send him to prison for life, despite the brutality of his crime.
Anthony is charged in the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a track meet in Frisco, Texas. He has claimed he acted in self-defense following an altercation over seating inside a team tent.
During jury selection, prosecutors questioned prospective jurors about whether Anthony’s age, race or resemblance to their own children would affect their.

ANALYSIS – Yes, it’s true. Last month, Joe Biden’s administration quietly invited our two top enemies to send observers to our secret nuclear weapons tests in Nevada. This outrageous Biden decision must be widely publicized and blocked by Congress immediately.
But why would our own government potentially expose critical nuclear national security secrets to Beijing and Moscow?
Especially as Russia has been on a tear modernizing its already huge nuclear force and threatening to use them over their war in Ukraine, and the Pentagon’s latest report shows that China has doubled its nukes just since 2020 and plans to quadruple them by 2030.
According to the report, China’s communist leaders are seeking to modernize and expand People’s Liberation Army (PLA) capabilities in all domains of warfare.
Well, Anthony Ruggiero and Richard Goldberg, both affiliated with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) think tank in Washington, DC, explained the Team Biden logic in The Hill:
The catalyst for this misguided effort was an explosive and misleading news report last month that created a false equivalency between China’s and Russia’s actions at its own test sites and U.S. activities in Nevada.
Increased activities at test sites in China and Russia, we are supposed to believe, are merely responses to commercial satellite pictures showing increased activities at our own test site in the U.S. The proposed response? Give our adversaries the keys to the nuclear kingdom to avoid misunderstandings — even in the absence of any reciprocal measures by Beijing or Moscow.
This isn’t the first time a naïve and dangerous proposal like this has come forward. More than a decade ago, as part of the so-called “Russia Reset,” the Obama administration proposed sharing classified U.S. missile defense data with Moscow to assure Russian President Vladimir Putin that America’s missile defenses weren’t directed at Russia.
So, what can you expect from this current administration overflowing with Team Obama retreads? More weak and dangerous appeasement policies toward our arch-enemies, many of them bordering on treason.
Ruggiero and Goldberg added that: “While Beijing and Moscow haven’t responded yet, Congress should prohibit such visits and invest in the U.S. nuclear deterrent instead.”
Giving Beijing and Moscow the opportunity to observe how the U.S. maintains its stockpile could help them learn how to defeat that stockpile and improve their own. Concern on Capitol Hill is already emerging. Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) has pledged legislation to stop it. In a post on X, the House Armed Services Committee declared, “Our adversaries should not be given access to U.S. nuclear weapon experiments and tests.”
The bottom line is, despite the dangerously naïve views of the Obama retreads in Biden’s administration, joined by a new generation of lefty idiots at the White House, China and Russia aren’t expanding their nuclear forces because of a lack of American transparency, or in reaction to anything we have done.
They are doing it as part of their own aggressive and expansionist military policies intended to challenge, counter and possibly defeat the United States.
Congress must take action to ensure that they both fail in their grand plans. That should begin with a blanket prohibition on Russian and Chinese access to any of our sensitive secret nuclear test sites.
This should be done immediately and should be followed by a major modernization and expansion of America’s nuclear force. Incremental efforts simply won’t do anymore.
We are already in a major conventional and nuclear arms race, especially with China. The only problem is, we aren’t racing. It’s time to change that.
