Minneapolis, MN – In a devastating incident that has shaken the University of Minnesota community, prosecutors have escalated charges against 30-year-old Ali Abas Samator following a fatal hit-and-run on Thursday, November 7, at around 10:25 p.m., which claimed the life of 20-year-old student Rylie Saloum.
Samator, whose criminal history reveals a troubling pattern of alcohol-related offenses and violent crimes, is now facing multiple felony charges, including criminal vehicular homicide. This tragedy exposes the dangers posed by repeat offenders with a history of impaired driving and violent behavior.
A Night of Tragedy
The incident occurred around 10:25 p.m. at the intersection of Cedar Avenue and Riverside Avenue, where Saloum was walking back to her dorm. Surveillance footage reportedly captured Samator’s red Toyota Camry running a red light and striking Saloum as she legally crossed in the crosswalk. According to the complaint, there were no tire marks indicating that Samator attempted to stop before the collision.
Police scanner audio revealed that Saloum suffered “substantial blood loss” and was transported by EMS with a severe head injury and “multiple deformed extremities.” According to the charges, Saloum had “head-to-toe fractures,” including air in her spinal cavity, carotid artery damage, brain bleeding, and other fatal injuries. CPR was initiated en route to the hospital. Despite extensive medical efforts, Saloum succumbed to her injuries on November 10. […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
