Family members of law enforcement officers are facing threats from individuals affiliated with the far-left extremist group Antifa, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in an Oct. 10 X post.“Antifa terrorists are threatening the families of our law enforcement. We will hunt these sickos down and put them behind bars,” the post said. “In Texas, the spouse of an ICE officer received a voicemail filled with violent threats.”The agency uploaded an audio clip of the threat received by the spouse, in which a woman can be heard using expletives against the wife of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)...

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...

Failed Prosecutor John Durham’s report on the Hillary Clinton campaign plot to convince the American electorate and U.S. allies that Donald Trump was a stooge of Russia totally ignores the role that intelligence operatives from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Israel played in helping set the stage to provide the FBI with the pretext of predication for launching its now discredited Crossfire Hurricane investigation of the Trump Campaign. Let me take you back to an article I wrote in May 2019. John Durham and his team failed to address any of the issues and leads I raised:...

The man accused of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another went to the homes of two other lawmakers to carry out more carnage on the night of the shootings, a federal prosecutor said. But one of the other lawmakers wasn't home, and the suspect left the other house after police arrived, said acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson. Vance Boelter surrendered to police Sunday after they found him in the woods near his home following a massive manhunt that began early Saturday near Minneapolis. "Boelter planned his attack carefully" by researching his intended victims and their families and conducting surveillance...

The deranged “manifesto” of Luigi Mangione revealed the image-obsessed accused killer chose to “wack the CEO” of UnitedHealthcare during an investor conference in New York City to generate “headlines” — and had previously planned a bombing “catastrophe,” court documents revealed. Parts of Mangione’s scrawlings in red spiral notebooks were revealed as part of a filing from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Wednesday, giving insight into the thought processes of the 27-year-old who allegedly targeted Brian Thompson, 50, on Dec. 4, 2024, to prove a political point about the health insurance industry, which he wrote “extracts human life force for...

Axios reporter Alex Thompson said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that former President Joe Biden’s inner circle of family and advisors chose loyalty to him over duty to the country. Co-host Jonathan Lemire said, “So every White House, no matter which party Republican or Democrat administration part of the job is to make the president look good.” He asked, “What makes this administration do what they did to protect their principal? Why is that a cover-up?” Thompson said, “I think a lot of these things start innocently enough, to your point. You know, the speechwriting team early on realized that...

President Donald Trump used a White House meeting to confront South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, accusing his country of failing to address the killing of white farmers. "People are fleeing South Africa for their own safety," said Trump, who at one point dimmed the lights in the Oval Office to play a video of a communist politician playing a controversial anti-apartheid song that includes lyrics about killing a farmer. "Their land is being confiscated and in many cases they're being killed." Ramaphosa, who sat quietly watching these videos, pushed back against Trump's accusation. "I'd like to know where that is...

A panel of U.S. Circuit judges upheld a Massachusetts school district’s policy, allowing staff to use a different name and gender pronouns for a student — without notifying the child’s parents. A lawsuit filed by the parents of a middle school student was dismissed in the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The parents had brought attention to how staff at Baird Middle School in Ludlow, Massachusetts, “violated their constitutional rights” as guardians by concealing the fact that their 11-year-old daughter had asked to be identified by a different name and pronouns. The parents, Stephen Foote and Marissa Silvestri, argued...

Former Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson, who were both on the House committee investigating the attack on Jan. 6, release a statement following pardons from Joe Biden in the last hours of his presidency. “We have been pardoned not for breaking the law but for upholding it,” the statement says.

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), who headed Congress’s special investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, said Tuesday that he has been in talks with the White House about presidential pardons. His comments confirmed a report, published hours earlier by Punchbowl News, that Thompson had at least one conversation in December with the White House counsel’s office about a potential pardon. He emphasized that he wasn’t lobbying for any special favors. “It wasn’t preemptive,” Thompson said. “We had a discussion about pardons. It wasn’t a particular pardon. … I said for me, as a member of the...

The Thompson

Slain UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson warned his colleagues about the health insurance company’s public relations issues in early 2024 as he tried to repair its reputation, according to a report. Thompson “understood that the public was frustrated with what they perceived the company’s actions to be,” according to one person who spoke to the Washington Post anonymously. “He was actively articulating a vision that helped better educate and help people better understand what the company is doing.” The typical American can lack an understanding of insurance conglomerates’ roles in the health care system, and it only becomes more convoluted when...

Seeing the great deal Hunter Biden got, former President Bill Clinton went on ABC's "The View" to express his "willingness to ask President Biden to pardon his wife. Hillary didn't do anything wrong, but getting a comprehensive and unconditional and pardon covering her from October 11, 1975 to the present would be very comforting. Considering she's devoted her entire life to public service of one sort or another she deserves it." Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy) also would like a pardon. "Trump says all the members of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United...

To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply...

President-elect Donald Trump, in his first post-election TV interview, promised a confrontational return to the White House, saying he would like to see many of those who investigated him jailed, including lawmakers who led an inquiry into his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. **SNIP** In a 45-minute interview with NBC News’s “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday and was recorded on Friday, Trump said members of the now-defunct House select committee tasked with investigating the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol should be in jail. “Everybody on that committee … for what they...

Liz Cheney, a former member of the partisan January 6 Committee, said Monday that she should not go to jail for allegedly destroying 117 of the panel’s files. President-elect Donald Trump accused members of the partisan panel on Sunday of destroying committee evidence that he said exonerated him from allegations of wrongdoing. The accusation came after Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), who led the House Administration Committee’s oversight investigation, said in January his computer forensic investigators discovered that 117 files went missing, presumably deleted or encrypted by the panel’s members.

Mangione referred to Ted Kaczynski’s actions as those of a “political revolutionary” rather than a lunatic, chillingly suggesting that violence might sometimes be necessary to “survive.” A former high school classmate of the person of interest identified and detained Monday in the apparent assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson spoke to The Gateway Pundit on Monday, expressing incredulity over the incident. Authorities identified Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old former Ivy League student at UPenn, as a person of interest in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, The Gateway Pundit reported Monday. As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, new details...

Police found a manifest on the person of interest nabbed at a McDonald’s in connection with the shooting death of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson. Ex-Ivy League student Luigi Mangione, 26, was taken into custody in Altoona, Pennsylvania after customers in a McDonald’s recognized him and tipped off local law enforcement. Law enforcement found at least four fake IDs on Mangione, a gun with a silencer and a manifesto. According to The New York Post, Luigi Mangione’s manifesto ranted against the healthcare industry. “These parasites had it coming” and “I do apologize for any strife and trauma, but it had to...

The person of interest in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killing has been identified as a 26-year-old computer whiz who graduated as valedictorian from his Maryland prep school. Luigi Mangione, of Towson, Md., was carrying a weapon similar to the one used in the fatal shooting of Thompson when he was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania on Monday, New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters. “At this time, he is believed to be our person of interest in the brazen, targeted murder of Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, last Wednesday in midtown Manhattan,” Tisch said at a press conference Monday....
