A judge dismissed two murder charges related to acts of terrorism as Luigi Mangione, the accused killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, made his first Manhattan courtroom appearance in five months on Tuesday. Judge Gregory Carro tossed out the most severe charge, first-degree murder, accusing Mangione of murder as a crime of terrorism.

President Donald Trump said Monday he’d consider naming far-left anti-fascism group Antifa as domestic terrorists, previewing a plan to crack down on what he’s cast as a widespread network of left-wing radicals inciting violence. “It’s something I would do, yeah,” he said when asked whether he would assign a domestic terrorism label to Antifa, saying he would proceed if he found support from Cabinet officials and the Justice Department. It wasn’t clear who or what exactly Trump would designate; Antifa is a loosely organized movement without a distinct leader, membership lists or structure. His comments come as a host of...

We believe we should have the right to call anyone a Nazi. We believe we should be the only ones who decide if the charge is true. Nobody who is friends with someone accused of being a Nazi is allowed to defend them — they’re Nazis TOO! Then, if we decide someone really IS a Nazi, we get to shoot them. And then the world owes us a Gold Star for killing a Nazi. Also, we’re against the death penalty, so nobody else gets to kill anyone. Especially nobody gets to kill us. But we still get to kill anybody....

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller on Monday called for an expansive federal response to what he described as organized networks contributing to political violence, invoking the death of conservative leader Charlie Kirk as the impetus for his remarks. The White House will use the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security to "identify, disrupt, dismantle and destroy" those networks, Miller said to Vice President JD Vance, who hosted Monday's episode of "The Charlie Kirk Show." He said they are engaged in coordinated harassment and intimidation. He pointed to tactics such as doxxing, online targeting, and street demonstrations, saying...

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and Vice President J.D. Vance discuss their effort to combat political violence and radicalization: VANCE: A lot of people are very worried about how we got here in the first place and you have the crazies on the far left who are saying, "Oh, Stephen Miller and JD Vance, they're gonna go after constitutionally protected speech." No, no, no, we're gonna go after the NGO network that foments, facilitates and engages in violence -- that's not OK. Violence is not OK in our system, and we want to make it less likely...

Vandals burned a Loveland family’s memorial to Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed on Wednesday, Sept. 10, during a tour event at Utah Valley University. The family is not releasing their location or full names due to concern for their safety. They told FOX31 the vandals set the fence on fire at approximately 11:15 p.m. as five children slept inside the home.

Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there was a sigh of relief when the suspected shooter finally got caught. But now, according to reports, investigators are looking into whether this was more than just a radicalized young man with a gun and perhaps part of a bigger conspiracy. While the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, sits in custody, the FBI’s probe is beginning to suggest that this was no simple case of a disturbed individual snapping. What’s emerging looks far more deliberate, disturbingly organized, and rooted in the leftist networks that have turned political violence into a feature of modern...

As educators and public servants, we believe symbolic acts such as lowering the flag should reflect the principles we work to instill in our students and community. When a person has made public statements that conflict with the values of inclusivity, respect, and student safety that we as a District strive to uphold, we may choose to not fly the flag at half-staff. Our decision reflects both our compliance with Washington State law and our unwavering commitment to ethical leadership and educational equity.

The feds have widened their investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk to probe whether PRO-TRANS, online groups and others connected with Tyler Robinson knew in advance about the plan to kill the MAGA influencer, The Post has learned. Law enforcement sources said that investigators are examining leftist groups both in Utah and online to figure out if they helped him with the shooting — or at least heard it was going to happen. The probe includes groups in online gaming community Steam, as well as a pro-trans organization called Armed Queers SLC, which took down their Instagram after Kirk...

According to a witness, he traveled about 15 yards through the memorial, kicked over flowers, vases and flags and balloons

VIDEOPolitics Girl, like a lot of her fellow leftists, is now reciting utter denialism nonsense about the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. Like many of them, she frames the assassin as a "right-winger" as opposed to the reality that we now know including Antifa type messages on his bullets. Most ridiculous of all, Politics Girl explains away those Antifa messages as having been put there by the company that manufactured those bullets. Yeah... right!

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed the existence of a note written by Charlie Kirk's assassin prior to the killing last week, but he has declined to offer details. [cut] Discord vice president Jud Hoffman confirmed on Friday that there had been “communications between the suspect’s roommate and a friend after the shooting where the roommate was recounting the contents of a note the suspect had left elsewhere.” Cox declined to offer details about the note but appeared to confirm its existence when asked about it on CNN. “Those are things that are still being processed for accuracy and verification and...

New info was found of Tyler Robinson's transgender boyfriend posting in ACAB Antifa subreddits dating back 5 years ago. There's absolutely no way the transgender boyfriend was not involved.

A distinguished Harvard Law professor and legal scholar was hammered on social media after spreading a debunked rumor that the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination was "ultra-MAGA" and that Republicans were trying to "blame" liberals for the tragedy. Laurence Tribe made the comment in a post on X that shared a lengthy post from an account called Occupy Democrats, which attempted to paint a picture of suspect Tyler Robinson’s political ideology. "Kirk’s apparent assassin seems to have been ultra-MAGA, exploding the GOP/MAGA attempt to pin the blame for this tragedy on liberals," wrote Tribe, a professor at Harvard Law School...

Oct 24, 2024 #trump #harris #fascist With twelve days to go before the United States presidential election, both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are seeking the vote of the elusive undecided voter. That is getting harder and harder, as there are fewer and fewer people left who have not made up theri minds. A story by Matthew-Mary Caruchet #fascist #trump #harris

Former Gawker editor Elizabeth Spiers unloaded in the Nation what may be the most caustic postmortem on Charlie Kirk found anywhere in media so far — comparing the slain Turning Point founder to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbles and labeling Kirk “an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist.” The latter name calling appeared in the lead paragraph alone of the 1000-word essay under the headline: “Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning.” Quoting gracious comments by California Gov. Gavin Newsom about the slain father of two, Spiers wrote, “There is no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign, and refusing to...

The assassination of conservative pundit Charlie Kirk marks the latest example of a GROWING WAVE of murders and other shootings committed by transgender people and others advocating for their rights. Audrey Hale, a transgender shooter who murdered six people at Nashville’s Convent School in March 2023, raged about hating America, being miserable while being raised as a girl and wanting to “kill all the white kids.” “I only wore some nice girl clothes as a cover-up from the truth, which I denied myself all these years. And I hated all of it,” Hale wrote in diary entries released following the...

President Donald Trump suggested on Friday his administration will pursue federal charges against billionaire Democratic donor George Soros, part of a long history of threatening his political opponents with criminal proceedings. “We’re going to look into Soros,” Trump said on “Fox & Friends,” “because I think it’s a RICO case against him and other people.” “Because this is more than like protests,” Trump added. “This is real agitation. This is riots on the street. And we’re going to look into it.” Trump previously floated charging Soros and his son under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act in August on...

A professor at Texas State University was axed on Wednesday after a video of him allegedly advocating for political violence during a socialism conference went viral. Tom Alter, a now-former associate history professor at TSU and member of Socialist Horizon, spoke at the online Revolutionary Socialism Conference 2025 on Sept. 7, according to screen recordings shared on X. During his brief talk, Alter launched into a tirade about the “US Capitalist crisis” that he claimed is exacerbating issues like education, mental health and even basic infrastructure. “What makes the current crisis an extra problem for capitalists is the willingness of...
