His mother reportedly used to work at the school before retiring in 2021. Some of the writings were written in Cyrillic, but New York Post reporter Diane Nerozzi translated some of the pages (via NY Post): Transgender Minneapolis shooter Robin Westman spoke of murdering “filthy...

The far-left radical movement known as Antifa has been getting its own taste of cancel culture. Just look at what happened on Aug. 19 in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood. Masked, fist-clenched agitators belonging to the anarchist collective turned up to sow chaos — but locals banded together to confront the troublemakers, telling them to get lost... Experts who track domestic terrorism and extremist movements aren’t surprised: Once the face of a grassroots leftwing insurgency, Antifa has lost its spark... But experts warn that could be a dangerous thing, as the vacuum has given way to even more fringe and violent...

The shooter who opened fire in the church of a Minneapolis Catholic School, killing two children, has been identified as Robin Westman, 23. Westman, formerly known as Robert, shot through stained glass windows at the children sitting on the pews inside Annunciation Catholic School's church at about 8.30am local time Wednesday, officials said.

Two children aged eight and 10 were killed in the attack and at least 17...

There’s a certain way Democrat leaders are speaking in recent days, and they’re all expressing some variation of what the party’s national committee chair said this week: Democrats “cannot be the only party that plays by the rules anymore.” Everyone should interpret that to mean Democrats are out for blood, literally. That’s in no way an overstatement, not least because Democrats spent a significant portion of the last election season openly fantasizing about legally murdering Donald Trump (and then ultimately shrugging when he was actually shot). There’s simply no other way to explain it. To be sure, here’s what...

Video showed Winters brandishing a long-bladed weapon at DHS agents guarding the facility before hurling it...

Democratic lawmakers say their voters are enraged at the lack of ability to counter President Donald Trump's agenda, with some saying they could resort to "violence," Axios reported Monday. The outlet says it spoke to over two dozen House Democrats to measure the temperature of the Democratic base. What it found was red-hot anger and a burgeoning desire to circumvent the rule of law, where explanations that Democrats simply don't hold enough power in Washington fall on deaf ears. "We've got people who are desperately wanting us to do something... no matter what we say, they want [more]," Rep. Brad...

At town halls in their districts and in one-on-one meetings with constituents and activists, Democratic members of Congress are facing a growing thrum of demands to break the rules, fight dirty — and not be afraid to get hurt. Why it matters: House Democrats told Axios they see a growing anger among their base that has, in some cases, morphed into a disregard for American institutions, political traditions and even the rule of law. "This idea that we're going to save every norm and that we're not going to play [Republicans'] game ... I don't think that's resonating with voters...

A radicalized operative—Alexander R. Wick, 38, of Portland, nonbinary activist, ANTIFA recruiter, and CEO of a far-left climate tech front company, Cascadia Carbon Inc.—was arrested for attempting to detonate an improvised explosive device (IED) on Interstate 5, one of the nation’s most critical highways. This wasn’t a spontaneous act. This was an orchestrated act of domestic sabotage tied directly to the radical Left’s foot soldiers—trained, funded, and protected by the same global elite who are panicking under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, now restored as Commander-in-Chief after defeating Biden in the rigged 2024 election. Let’s break it...

For years, the popular “LA Scanner” account on X presented itself as a simple, neutral feed with just scanner updates, crime alerts, and public safety notices. But now, the left-wing mask has finally slipped. And what do we see underneath? A raging left-wing activist with Stage 5 TDS, an open hatred for law enforcement, and a not-so-subtle agenda to turn his 40K followers into digital foot soldiers for sabotage against ICE. In a now-viral post, the account openly encouraged people to commit a federal crime – calling in fake reports to ICE in order to tie up their resources and...

The situation in Los Angeles is spiralling toward yet another round of sure to be infamous LA riots, as leftist rioters ostensibly protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement as it tries to arrest and deport illegal aliens in the city are both fighting with law enforcement officers and setting the city alight. Horrifyingly, an LA Councilwoman was egging them on as they did so. That was Los Angeles City Council Member Eunisses Hernandez (D), who gave a speech as the situation was escalating, in which she called for protesters to surge and advance the already violent riots against the ICE agents....

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries accused the Trump administration of “clearly trying to intimidate Democrats” after federal agents handcuffed one of Rep. Jerry Nadler’s aides in his Manhattan office. The Department of Homeland Security stormed into Nadler’s (D-NY) Big Apple office last week and alleged that his staff was “harboring rioters.” Jeffries (D-NY) largely refrained from delving too much into the specifics of the altercation, but slammed the administration. “I think the administration is clearly trying to intimidate Democrats, in the same way that they’re trying to intimidate the country,” Jeffries told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. Jeffries...
