HUGE NEWS: A federal grand jury has decided to bring indictments against two of the violent protesters who assaulted me in Minneapolis No word yet on which of the three are being indicted, but I’m EXTREMELY grateful to the DOJ for moving so swiftly on this Justice is coming.

In a shift from the past, more accused violent assailants have striking academic records. ‘We’re seeing a new breed of individual.’ An Ivy League grad. An aspiring engineer who scored 1530 out of 1600 on his SAT. A 4.0 high-school student with a prestigious college scholarship. And now, a Caltech grad.

On Monday, Breitbart’s main man, Alex Marlow, said, “All of these people have normalized this climate of violence, and they will not stop until Trump is dead.” Marlow is on target much of the time. His anti-liberal rants are often delivered in scorching rhetoric, so they stick in listener’s minds. He’s 100 percent correct that many Democrats advocate and defend hateful actions against conservatives. But I must disagree with Marlow on one thing. When you are in a conflict, and you discover that inciting your followers to violent actions is effective in damaging your enemy, the last thing you do...

Nick Fuentes, part of the twisted “WOKE REICH”, just got exposed as the MONSTER he truly is. A woman shows up at his Illinois home… and this coward SPRAYS her with mace, then SHOVES her down the stairs like a ragdoll. She crashes hard onto the concrete, crawling in pain while he stands over her like some deranged predator. This is the same Fuentes who is telling everyone to ”VOTE DEMOCRAT” to stick it to Trump and Republicans, and physically assaults women for daring to confront him. Battery charges? Mysteriously dismissed. But the video doesn’t lie. This is not a...

The line between protected political speech and an actionable threat is not blurry, Congress drew it Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stood at the Justice Department podium Tuesday and delivered a message as clear as the statute he cited: “You are not allowed to threaten the President of the United States. Full stop.” In a Fox News clip that quickly went viral, Blanche announced that a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of North Carolina has indicted former FBI Director James Comey on two felony counts stemming from a since-deleted Instagram post featuring seashells arranged on a beach to...

A federal grand jury handed down indictments for two individuals connected to the assault on Turning Point USA reporter Savanah Hernandez at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement protest in Minneapolis earlier this month, Fox News Digital has learned. The suspects were indicted on Tuesday, federal sources told Fox News Digital, though their names have yet to be released. The sources said the indictment is expected to be unsealed later Wednesday. The incident happened on April 11 outside the Whipple Federal Building, where a protest was taking place over a local ICE field office that also serves as a detention...

Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States, penned a social media message in the hours after President Trump was nearly assassinated — again — that called for calmer voices and cooler heads in the political realm; that said, “It’s incumbent upon all of us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy.” And then he stopped laughing and hit “post” and called 1-800-BUY-BRIK — his speed dial source for pallets of bricks used by Democrat-voting supporters during their various peaceful street protests. Let’s be real. Or, as Obama might say, “Let me be clear.”...

President Trump has now survived three assassination attempts. The perps weren’t exactly members of Moms for Liberty. The liberal media like to portray violence as coming exclusively from the right. President Biden claimed that White supremacy was the greatest threat to America. What do Luigi Mangione (charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson), the alleged killer of Charlie Kirk, the man convicted of the 2012 attack on the Family Research Council, and the shooter at a practice session for the 2017 Congressional Baseball Game have in common? All are or were hard-core leftists. Most of the political violence...

Everything Barack Obama interjects into public discourse always appears neutral on its face, but in truth is delivered within a systemic context or tone. Throughout his grueling presidency, Barack Obama assigned motives to any incident involving a white person and a black person. From Henry Louis Gates to Trayvon Martin to Jussie Smollett to George Floyd, until further notice, the person with the most melanin was always presumed innocent. By contrast, Caucasians were usually deemed worthy of special mention, especially in Obama’s April 2009 treatise on right-wing extremism, where Christians, prolifers, ex-military, and white people on the whole were suspected...

As I spent the evening scouring the internet for information on the assassination attempt last night, I ran across a ton of posts from lefties claiming that it was either staged—a fan favorite—or that the motive might never be known. Hasan Piker was quite angry that people pointed out that he, just the other day, talked about harnessing the left's assassination fantasies as a way to organize followers. That is a fairly common theme in the social media posts of leftists, as are complaints that the various people who have tried to kill Trump don't have good enough aim. And,...

Trump’s assassination attempts underscore how rhetoric that casts political opponents as existential threats can move from language to violence. Same Old, Same Old: Target Trump.At the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Donald Trump was the target of yet a third assassination attempt—this time in full view of the Washington press corps. The event was presented as a spirited night with Trump. After 11 years of avoiding the predominantly left-wing media event, he decided to revisit the dinner. He anticipated that he would be the object of ridicule inside the hall—and that he might see possible violence outside it. Indeed, protesters ringed...

The Cougar Pride Center, which describes itself as an independent resource center serving Brigham Young University (BYU) students, hosted an event titled “Provo Pride” on April 11, which featured an LGBTQ pride march through downtown Provo, Utah, followed by a pride festival at Memorial Park. The event featured more than a dozen LGBTQ-themed vendors and a concert with several LGBTQ performers, including drag queen Colette Coins, who self-describes as an “argumentative antithetical dreamgirl” on Instagram. One vendor stand at the festival featured apparent Molotov cocktails for sale alongside a painting of Donald Trump’s severed head being served on a platter,...

Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, a New Jersey Democrat, is facing a wave of backlash after declaring that the way to fight government waste is to remove President Donald Trump and his team from power. In video of her remarks that circulated online this week, Watson Coleman said: “If we wanted to eliminate abuse and fraud, we’d eliminate the president of the United States from the office right now, and the rest of the sycophants in his administration.” The comment spread quickly across social media and conservative outlets, with critics accusing the congresswoman of stoking dangerous political rhetoric under the guise...

Richard Dawkins casts the Old Testament God as: "arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction - a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully." (The God Delusion) Dawkins’ description is extreme and one sided, but even Christians struggle...We know that he is the God of life not death, creation not violence, mercy not destruction... Christians take several approaches to the violence of the Old Testament. 1. We can reject the depictions of God here as inconsistent with God as revealed in Jesus...However, this approach is to be rejected because...

A Democrat running for Florida governor allegedly attacked two elderly people, believed to be his parents, during a domestic dispute on Friday — and bizarrely accused the victims of being “on fentanyl” and trying to kill him during his whirlwind arrest. Kevin Cichowski, 46, allegedly beat one victim with a cane and chucked a cellphone at the other inside a riverside home in Palm County, Florida on Friday, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. Police did not confirm Cichowski’s relation to the victims, but described the altercation as domestic in nature. The gubernatorial candidate also made repeated nonsensical accusations...

For years, two sets of chimpanzees lived as one in Uganda’s Kibale National Park — grooming, interacting and patrolling their territory in a cohesive community.Then suddenly, one set charged the other, touching off yearslong bloodshed that researchers are comparing to a human civil war.“It was just chaos,” said John Mitani, a professor emeritus in anthropology at the University of Michigan who had been following the chimpanzees for two decades when the violence began in 2015. “They started to scream, shout, chase each other.”For three years after the outbreak, Mitani and his collaborator, Aaron Sandel, an associate professor of anthropology at...

ICE agents had to take dramatic action this afternoon to save their own lives from an extremely violent illegal alien in California. As KTVU reported, ICE officers shot a person in Paterson who they suspected was an illegal immigrant gang member. This led to a partial closure of the I-5 freeway in Stanislaus County. Per KTVU, the illegal alien was wanted in connection with a murder in the city. Fox News’s Bill Melugin later revealed more information: the illegal alien was a known 18th Street gangster from El Salvador and was shot while ICE agents were trying to arrest him.

They gathered Sunday at a trendy downtown Los Angeles restaurant — a group of women out for brunch. But police said the outing devolved into a fight involving a knife and a bottle that was used to strike a fellow diner's skull. Five women ended up at a hospital, with one critically hurt. Dara Newsome, 29, and Kumiko Howard, 26, were arrested Sunday after the altercation inside Zaya, a dining spot in a historic building that markets itself as “a safe and welcoming gathering space.” Police said the all-female group was enjoying brunch inside the restaurant in the 500 block...

A South Florida city leader was found dead in her home Wednesday, and her husband was in police custody, authorities said. Coral Springs Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer Bowen was found by police officers at around 10 a.m. Wednesday after they began an investigation into her "well-being," the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported. Police Chief Brad Mock didn't provide any details about the circumstances of Bowen's death, saying it was being investigated as a "domestic violence incident." Bowen’s husband, Stephen Bowen, was in police custody, Mock said. The chief said there were no other suspects being sought. Bowen was first elected...
