A Florida man who pleaded guilty to mailing improvised explosive devices to prominent Democrats and media figures was sentenced to 20 years in prison Monday, according to The Washington Post. Cesar Sayoc pleaded guilty to mailing 16 inactive pipe bombs to several prominent critics of President Trump, including 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, former President Obama, actor Robert de Niro and liberal financier George Soros, as well as CNN ahead of the 2018 midterm elections. U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff imposed a lighter sentence than the one recommended by prosecutors, who called for Sayoc to be sentenced to life...

FULL TITLE: Cesar Sayoc Was Reported for Threatening Behavior, But Twitter Apparently ‘Didn’t Find it That Serious’ Rochelle Ritchie, a former spokeswoman for the U.S. Congress and the Baltimore State’s Attorney’s Office, said Friday that she recently reported accused bomb suspect Cesar Sayoc of threatening her on Twitter. The company’s “bs response”: No violation was found. The now-suspended account @hardrock2016 has been linked to Sayoc, who allegedly mailed bombs to critics of President Donald Trump. “Though we are still analyzing the devices in our laboratory, these are not hoax devices,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a press conference Friday...

Is this evidence that Daniels and Sayoc, and possibly Michael Avenatti, are involved in a false flag operation to destroy President Trump? Shouldn’t that possibility at least be investigated? See also here. Shad Olson captured Sayoc’s Facebook page before it was scrubbed, and found that until 2016, Sayoc was a hardcore leftist who posted memes of George W. Bush with blood on his hands (above) and the like. Then he suddenly became a conservative Trump supporter, with no hint of a change of heart?

What is going on in Opa-Locka, Florida? The same mail processing facility that is allegedly holding uncounted absentee ballots, was also responsible for sending Cesar Sayoc’s fake pipe bombs through the system. The postal service is currently investigating ballots mailed through the Opa-locka processing center, as reported by The Miami Herald:

Former bodybuilder, male stripper and South Florida pizza delivery man Cesar Sayoc, accused in October of mailing pipe bombs to critics of President Donald Trump, appears ready to plead guilty in federal court in New York. The online court docket for Sayoc’s case says, “The pretrial conference scheduled for March 21, 2019 at 4:00 p.m. is now a plea.” To which charges Sayoc will plead guilty isn’t addressed. An email and a call to the federal public defender’s haven’t been returned. Sayoc sits in federal jail in Manhattan. He faces five counts of use of weapons of mass destruction, five...

Just in time for Halloween comes a former male stripper, who drove a van with Trump stickers plastered all over it, being charged with sending pipe bombs to top Democratic leaders, a journalist and at least one celebrity, all of whom have been vocal critics of President Trump. The New York Post headline was the cleverest: "Caught Red Hatted: Steroid-abusing Florida stripper driving Trump van is charged with Dem bomb spree." The Post reported that the accused, Cesar Sayoc Jr., was said to be lost and a "sick individual" who is estranged from his family, but eventually "found a father"...

Is the targeted individual a legitimate suspect or a convenient patsy? Most likely the latter, but it remains an open question. How could an ordinary person access mailing addresses of prominent Trump critics sent harmless mail bombs? Beginning on October 22, harmless mail bombs began to be delivered to prominent undemocratic Dem Trump critics. None exploded. No one was hurt, the mailings intended to sow fear, create alarm, and make headlines. They likely intended to influence the outcome of the November midterm elections, undemocratic Dem dark forces likely behind them, hoping to regain control of the House and/or Senate .Is...

Democratic filmmaker Michael Moore on Sunday released raw, unedited footage he captured for his latest film, "Fahrenheit 11/9." Moore claims to have footage of the suspect behind the bombs sent to Democrats and CNN, Cesar Sayoc.Moore detailed how he acquired the footage in a blog post on his website. He also took the time to place blame on Trump for Sayoc's actions (emphasis mine): My crew first encountered Cesar Sayoc, the mail bomber/terrorist, 20 months ago when we went down to Melbourne, Florida, to film Trump’s first “Trump 2020 Re-election Rally” — just one month after his inauguration. My direction...

In a CNN interview, family attorney of Cesar Sayoc says Sayoc is mentally ill and not intellectually equipped to carry out the package bomb conspiracy, and that there may be "others who helped prod or encouraged him to do this". Sayoc's longtime friend is a former CIA officer who describes himself as doing "post-retirement work in support of the U.S. Intelligence Community".

In any situation, notice who stands to gain. …And what the recent history is. See my new video, Who Stands To Gain From the Mail Bomb Nut? I’m not saying that Democrats, or the “deep state,” or anyone else is behind the mail bomb nut. Maybe no one is. But I do know the Democrats have been desperate to change the narrative leading up the mid-term elections Tuesday, November 6th. They’re desperate because they appear to have squandered a potential “blue wave” by showing the world their ugliness in attacking Justice Kavanaugh, and by their leaders (like Hillary Clinton, Maxine...

While the mainstream media quickly labels Cesar Sayoc as a bona fide, Trump-loving, conservative Republican, social media and internet investigation shows the alleged, “MAGA Bomber” listed as a registered Democrat since 1980, (only changing to Republican in 2016,) and reveals multiple social media posts hating Republicans and the GOP, bashing George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, posting photos of Bush and Cheney as “war criminals,” and praising Code Pink, “liberal women,” as “the beautiful women of the world.” And that’s only the beginning. The arrest of 56-year old, Cesar Altieri Sayoc of Aventura, Florida, also known as Cesar Sayoc, or...

Another asked A noted pundit made another observation that is curious: Cesar Sayoc -- the alleged mail bomber -- had Trump stickers all over his vehicle. But on Twitter, he only follows 32 people -- many of whom are left-wingers like Lina Dunham, Barack Obama and Jimmy Kimmel. What gives?Something still doesn’t pass the smell test. In a moment of time where merely wearing a “MAGA” hat can get you fired, beat up, or merely harangued out of your favorite eatery, we are asked to believe that Cesar Altieri Sayoc was allowed to drive around safely in a van abundantly...

Until 2016, Cesar Altieri Sayoc Jr.’s life on social media looked unremarkable. On his Facebook page, he posted photos of decadent meals, gym workouts, scantily clad women and sports games — the stereotypical trappings of middle-age masculinity. But that year, Mr. Sayoc’s social media presence took on a darker and more partisan tone. He opened a new Twitter account and began posting links to sensational right-wing news stories, adding captions like “Clinton busted exposed rigging entire election.” On Facebook, his anodyne posts gave way to a feed overflowing with pro-Donald Trump images, news stories about Muslims and the Islamic State,...

President Donald Trump denounced the media on Friday for trying to pin the recent bomb scare on him and his supporters. “We have seen an effort by the media in recent hours to use the sinister actions of one individual to score political points against me and the Republican party,” Trump said. The president commented on the news at his rally in Charlotte, North Carolina after authorities apprehended the Florida man suspected of sending pipe bombs to prominent Democrats. Trump condemned political violence and called for an end to the politics of personal destruction, especially from the media. “Political violence...

The suspected American mail bomber accused of sending explosives to critics of Donald Trump would tell colleagues “everything that wasn’t white didn’t belong in the world,” a former manager has said. Cesar Sayoc, from Aventura, Florida, has been charged with posting at least 13 devices to people including ex-president Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Democrat donor George Soros and actor Robert de Niro. “He was anti-gay, anti-black, anti-Jewish, you name it,” said Debra Gureghian, general manager of the New River Pizza and Fresh Kitchen restaurant in Fort Lauderdale where Mr Sayoc worked until January. “Everybody that wasn’t white and wasn’t a...

The aunt of Cesar Sayoc told The Palm Beach Post that Sayoc is “a lost soul,” is mentally ill and believes he most likely did not act alone in connection with the explosive packages sent to prominent figures around the nation. Speaking from her home in Boca Raton, Theresa Sharp said she hasn’t seen Sayoc in 12 years but knows Sayoc does not live with his mother in Aventura because “he does not have a good relationship with her.” “He has no respect for his mother and would tell people she was dead,” Sharp said, who was dressed in a...

The man arrested by the authorities on Friday in connection with a series of bombs sent in the mail appears to be an outspoken supporter of President Trump, according to his posts on social media. The man attended a rally by Mr. Trump in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Oct. 13, 2016; the president’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2017; and then another rally at Orlando Melbourne International Airport on Feb. 18, 2017. At the first rally, which took place weeks before Election Day, the suspect, Cesar Sayoc Jr., 56, of Aventura, Fla., recorded a selfie video. At the same rally,...

Cesar Sayoc was arrested by federal authorities in Florida on Friday morning and charged with crimes related to sending 13 apparently homemade pipe bombs to high-profile Democrats. None of them detonated, but the FBI says the bombs indeed contained explosive material. Sayoc may well have meant to kill George Soros, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Cory Booker, and others. Sayoc does not appear to be severely mentally ill, like other perpetrators of high-profile crimes in our country in recent years, but he is a kooky and fringe character. He sports a long and bizarre arrest record, one of the reasons authorities...

I am in Washington to attend Turning Point USA’s first-ever Young Black Leadership Summit. Today’s highlight was a visit to the White House, where President Trump addressed the group in the East Room. We arrived at the East Entrance to the White House around 9:30, started going through security at 10:00, and were in the White House proper by 10:30 or so. At 11:30, Ben Carson warmed up the audience for the president. This is what a portion of the crowd in the East Room looked like as we waited for President Trump to appear. There were lots of MAGA...
