The media has an odd term for the sullen young women who have made a sexual fetish of pretty-boy killer Luigi Mangione. They’re called Luigi Fangirls. It evokes a frolic, young women skipping down the street, singing, holding hands. You know, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” But I much prefer another name, a more direct name: Witches. I’m told that witches are supposedly fictional, a phobia created by men, by the patriarchy, to impose our evil will upon women who cling to stories like “The Handmaid’s Tale,” to justify generations of their cruelties upon boys, from wholesale abortion to “gender...

Three cheerleaders for Luigi Mangione have followed his trial and advocated for the 28-year-old accused of shooting United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson to death in December 2024. One of those people, 32-year-old Lena Weissbrot, is apparently the daughter of a CVS Healthcare executive, according to a New York Post report. Bloodthirsty Luigi Mangione fangirls unapologetically celebrate CEO’s assassination: ‘F—k Brian Thompson,’ ‘His children are better off without him’.

Weissbrot is one of three supporters of Mangione who are referred to online as “Mangionistas." One of the fangirl “journalists” who has publicly supported Luigi Mangione is reportedly the daughter of a senior healthcare executive at CVS Health. Lena Weissbrot is the daughter of Reina Natero, a longtime pharmaceutical industry executive who oversees prescription drug insurance coverage rules at CVS Health. Natero has worked in the industry for more than two decades. Weissbrot is one of three supporters of Mangione who are referred to online as “Mangionistas.” They recently gained attention during Mangione’s pre-trial hearings after receiving New York City...

Three days before a 31-year-old male stormed the White House Correspondents Dinner, hoping to assassinate President Donald Trump and members of his cabinet, the New York Times published a 35-minute video titled: “‘The Rich Don’t Play by the Rules. So Why Should I?’ Why petty theft might be the new political protest.” In it, a Times editor interviewed two other members of the media aristocracy about the moral code shared by a large swathe of young Americans. That code justifies theft—and even violence—when harnessed to a fashionably left-wing cause. None of the participants—podcasting celebrity Hasan Piker, New Yorker writer Jia...

With so much going on in the world, it's easy to forget that it's only been a little over a year since Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was killed. He was allegedly gunned down by Luigi Mangione, who is awaiting trial on both state and federal charges in conjunction with Thompson's murder. In his alleged manifesto, Mangione wrote "these parasites had it coming" and "I do apologize for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done." Several prominent Democrats, including Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, defended Mangione's actions, essentially saying violence is wrong, but UnitedHealthcare...

Luigi: The Musical will premiere in New York City this summer, mere miles from where Luigi Mangione allegedly assassinated the father of two children. The show is already a hit in far-left San Francisco. Prosecutors say Mangione gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in cold blood in December of 2024. The motive was to make a statement about the American health care system. “These parasites had it coming,” Mangione reportedly wrote on a note found on him during a police search. The political left immediately embraced the accused murderer as one of their own. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins promoted Mangione’s defense...

An Antifa-connected researcher with rabid bias against the right is held out as an expert on deciding who is extreme.After Charlie Kirk was assassinated last week, conservatives noted that most political violence comes from the left. The left bristles at this fact and has responded by dramatically padding the numbers to pretend the reverse is true.Consider a Sept. 12 piece from The Economist claiming, “extremists on both left and right commit violence, although more incidents appear to come from right-leaning attackers.”Right up front, the piece admits it used data “largely compiled by researchers whom sceptical (sic) conservatives would probably dismiss...

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Ilhan Omar tweeted out an Anti-Defamation League chart that purports to prove that right wingers perpetrate the majority of politically motivated murders in the United States. This ADL graph is very popular with left wingers. The problem is that it’s based on one of the most dishonest reports you’ll ever read. The ADL has long padded its “right-wing extremism” by including incidents of non-ideological criminality by perpetrators suspected of being white supremacists. This year, though, virtually none of the incidents listed by the ADL as having been committed by “white supremacists” or “far-right...

America is currently sick. The young conservative organizer and media personality Charlie Kirk was just murdered in a political assassination by a 22-year-old ‘anti-fascist’ and trans advocate, Tyler Robinson. As planned, he eliminated the most astute and successful political activist in a generation. Indeed, Kirk may well have ensured that Donald Trump won the 2024 election by not just increasing his youth vote by 6 percent since 2020 but, more importantly, by margins in the swing states of 15-24 percent, ensuring Trump’s victory. No sooner was he killed than thousands on left-wing social media erupted in celebration—among them scores of...

Charlie Kirk suggested in advance how to react to his assassination. He also practically told us it would happen: (X image on link) "Assassination culture is spreading on the left. Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump." In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione. In the gun used to kill Kirk was found ammo engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology,” echoing the cryptic messages found on shell casings after the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last December. After Thompson’s...

A New York state man was arrested Wednesday and charged with leaving threatening voicemails for the widow of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson hours after Thompson was fatally shot on a Manhattan sidewalk in December. The suspect, Shane Daley, left Paulette Thompson profanity-laced voicemails calling her husband a “f------ capitalist pig” and declaring he died because he was “profiting off the backs of poor Americans,” according to a criminal complaint in Albany federal court charging Daley with cyberstalking. “This s--- is gonna keep happening to you f------ p-----,” Daley, 40, warned Paulette in one of three voicemails he left on her...

Mary Strause, a filmmaker in Wisconsin, logged on to Amazon’s video-streaming service in late May so she could share a link to her latest project, a docuseries that harshly criticized the U.S. health care industry. She was surprised to see that her video had vanished. Ms. Strause had no way of knowing it, but the video had been taken down after a law firm working for UnitedHealth Group, one of the country’s largest health care companies, sent a letter warning Amazon and another streaming service, Vimeo, that the video was defamatory. It was the latest salvo in an aggressive and...

@CollinRugg NEW: The man accused of attempting to m*rder streamer Nick Fuentes is 24-year-old John Lyons. Very dangerous times especially when we have degenerates praising Luigi Mangione for executing a man in the back.

McDonald's may be facing one of the worst backlashes after an employee made a move that landed the fast food chain in the middle of one of the year's biggest controversies. The CEO of American health carrier UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson, was gunned down and killed outside of a hotel in New York City by a masked suspect during the early hours of the morning last Wednesday. According to the police, the suspect was captured on security footage heading to Manhattan's Central Park on an electric bike immediately after the crime and then taking a taxi to a bus station to...

VIDEONecklace Boy aka Tim Miller of the TDS Bulwark exemplifies the Derangement in "Trump Derangement Syndrome." And here you see his derangement on full display as he expresses his romantic preference for the Boston Marathon Bomber over Luigi the Assassin who shoots people in the back. Necklace Boy wasn't specific as to the reason for his pick other than saying that Luigi the Assassin just wasn't his type.
