@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. Lyons reportedly traveled 140 miles to Fuentes' home after allegedly m*rdering three family members. Fuentes has released footage of the man calling out for him at his home. Fuentes was reportedly live-streaming when the man showed up, an action that may have saved his life. Officers who were called to the scene spotted Lyons who ran away and forced his way inside someone's home. When inside,...

Mangione has been formally charged in the murder, where he reportedly shot and killed Thompson in the early morning hours outside of the New York Hilton Midtown before an investor’s meeting. Thompson was shot multiple times with a suppressed, mostly 3D-printed firearm. He’s facing over a dozen state and federal charges regarding this crime. The latest federal charges make him eligible for the death penalty if convicted

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.

Luigi Mangione has been charged with murder as an act of terrorism for the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione, 26, had already been charged with murder for the December 4 slaying, but the indictment could help move along procedural steps toward extraditing the suspect. Under New York law, such a charge can be brought when an alleged crime is 'intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policies of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion and affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder, assassination or kidnapping.' Thompson, 50, was shot dead...

A new national poll from Emerson College reveals a startling trend among young American voters: More respondents aged 18 to 29 believe the targeted assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was acceptable than those who do not.The poll highlights a sharp generational divergence on the issue. A total of 41 percent of voters aged 18-29 find the killer’s actions acceptable, 24 percent somewhat acceptable and 17 percent completely acceptable), while 40 percent find them unacceptable. Noting that 68 percent of voters overall reject the killer’s action, Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said the results show shifting societal...

Even before we knew the targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione was politically motivated, many leftists were justifying, celebrating, and rationalizing the shooting. There’s a real debate going on in some quarters of the progressive Left over whether slaying CEOs is a bad thing. And it’s unsurprising. Of course, if any MAGA professors or journalists were online publicly defending the killing of perceived political enemies, there would be thousands of wringing hands lamenting the menacing rhetoric of conservatism. And rightly so. But the unhinged demonization of the health care insurance industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and Big...

I have known for years that the online Left was losing the moral plot. But if you had told me that one day they would celebrate the slaughter of a man from a humble background in which the suspect is a swaggering rich kid, even I would have struggled to believe it. This, at root, is what the creepy idolisation of Luigi Mangione represents. Strip away all the TikTok guff about him being a modern-day Robin Hood. Ignore the apologetics of Leftish talking-heads who fantasise that Mangione has stuck it to The Man. For what we’re talking about here is...

Luigi Mangione is officially the “suspect” in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, but he is plainly the culprit, and public discussion has moved on to his motives. Why would a young man possessed of intellectual gifts, friends, family, good looks, a winning personality and, apparently, lots of money, gun down a man he had never met? This isn’t the kind of question my organization, the National Association of Scholars, normally takes up. We concern ourselves more with academic standards and questions of state and federal policy. But I’ve been nudged several times with questions about Luigi’s academic background....

Police in San Francisco identified UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s alleged killer, Luigi Mangione, and alerted the FBI four days before his high-profile arrest, a new report says. An officer tipped off the feds after recognizing the 26-year-old’s face in surveillance images put out by the NYPD after Thompson was gunned down last week, sources told the San Francisco Chronicle. Mangione’s face was known to cops in California because he’d been reported missing by his family just weeks earlier on Nov. 18, the sources added.

U.S. — Despite currently being in custody and charged with the murder of a health insurance company CEO, alleged assassin Luigi Mangione has now taken the lead in 2028 Democratic primary polls. Though more well-known candidates like Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and Gretchen Whitmer remained in the running, Mangione had surged to the top of the polls in just a matter of days following his rise to stardom among Democrat voters after committing a cold-blooded murder. "He's the perfect representative of everything the Democratic Party stands for," said MSNBC host Rachel Maddow. "He's ruthless, uninformed, deranged — and he's willing...

Discovered Connection Between Nancy Pelosi & Luigi Mangione Raises Questions In UnitedHealth CEO Murder Investigation Key Points • Cyberattack Timeline: A major cyberattack on UnitedHealth Group in February 2024 coincided with Paul Pelosi's $4 million investment in Palo Alto Networks, which later investigated the breach. • UnitedHealth CEO's Death: Brian Thompson, UnitedHealth CEO, was murdered shortly before he was set to testify in a DOJ case that could have implicated Nancy Pelosi in insider trading. • Luigi Mangione's Role: Luigi Mangione, a tech-savvy scion of a wealthy Maryland family with historical ties to the D’Alesandro family (Nancy Pelosi), was arrested...

Senate majority leader says Israeli prime minister has ‘lost his way’ and warns that country risks becoming ‘a pariah’ SNIP In remarks from the Senate floor, Schumer said he had a longstanding relationship with Netanyahu but believed he “has lost his way by allowing his political survival to take precedence over the best interests of Israel”. Noting the prime minister’s inclusion of far-right officials in his government, Schumer said Netanyahu “has been too willing to tolerate the civilian toll in Gaza, which is pushing support for Israel worldwide to historic lows. Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah”. Israel’s...

Sen. Chuck Schumer decided to engage in a bit of foreign election interference by going to the Senate floor and proclaiming that Israel must hold new elections. That comes as the American ally gears up to finish Hamas off in Gaza once and for all. In the face of that, Democrats have faced significant pushback from their radical, pro-terrorist base. "I believe that holding a new election once the war starts to wind down would give Israelis an opportunity to express their vision for the post-war future."— Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) calls for new elections in Israel pic.twitter.com/yFXM6504oh—...

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is under fire Thursday for his highly inappropriate Senate speech calling for new elections in Israel. Even the White House is attempting to distance itself from Schumer’s dangerous and reckless election interference. “The world has changed — radically — since [October 7], and the Israeli people are being stifled right now by a governing vision that is stuck in the past,” Schumer said in what was described as a major speech. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has “lost his way,” Schumer added, “by allowing his political survival to take precedence over the best interests...

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday criticized Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of his country's war on Hamas and called for Israel to hold elections, an apparent signal that he thinks new leadership is needed. "Nobody expects Prime Minister Netanyahu to do the things that must be done to break the cycle of violence, preserve Israel's credibility on the world stage," Schumer, the country's high-ranking elected Jewish lawmaker, said in a roughly 40-minute speech on the Senate floor.

For my sins, over the years I've suffered through countless Joe Scarborough rants. In recent times, Donald Trump has, of course, been Scarborough's favorite target. But for sheer anger and vitriol, it would be hard to match Scarborough's tirade against Benjamin Netanyahu at the opening of today's Morning Joe. Scarborough attacked Netanyahu for purposes of defending Chuck Schumer's shocking speech on the Senate floor yesterday, calling for regime change in Israel and the ejection of Netanyahu as Israeli Prime Minister. Scarborough had the chutzpah to depict himself as the virtual True Defender of Israel, a veritable modern-day Judah Maccabee. He...
