Transgender Democrat Activist Urges Followers To ‘Kill Your Local Republican’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Wisconsin transgender activist has released a run of videos telling people to “kill your local Republican” and vowing a “trans jihad” against MAGA.

Conservative commentator Dustin Grage posted the footage to X on July 1. In one clip, Teha Delaruelle speaks against a background displaying the words “Kill Your Local Republican,” then points to the message. “We’re going to make this the moderate position for the state of Wisconsin,” Delaruelle says, giving followers a one-month window to act.

Another video shows Delaruelle describing a plan to make conservatives live in fear. “We are doing trans jihad,” Delaruelle says, directing the threat at “the oppressor, the bigots, the animals that make up MAGA.” The activist says the goal is a permanent state of dread. “No, this is their new reality,” Delaruelle says.

Grage posted an additional video of Delaruelle featuring the slogans “Smash MAGA” and “Left Wing Death Squads.”

Delaruelle works as a volunteer staffer for Democratic congressional candidate Katrina DeVille and has spent years with the Outagamie County Democrats, according to The Heartland Post. That staffing claim remains unverified, and the DeVille campaign has not addressed it. (Read more from “Transgender Democrat Activist Urges Followers To ‘Kill Your Local Republican’” HERE)

Israel Reportedly Attempted To Shoot Down Iran’s Negotiators

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Caller. Israel attempted to kill Iran’s negotiators on their plane after talks between the U.S. and Iran concluded in Pakistan, The New York Times reported.

The attempt occurred in the air as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf were flying home to Tehran from talks in Pakistan, the outlet reported, citing anonymous U.S. officials. As the officials were en route flying home, Iran’s security forces notified the plane that two Israeli fighter jets had entered Iranian airspace with the intention of attacking it.

However, the plane was not shot down as it made an emergency landing in Mashhad, Iran’s closest airport to Pakistan, according to the Times. The diplomatic jet also had an escort from Pakistani fighter jets.

The Iranian diplomatic jet was carrying more than 70 other Iranian officials during the flight, the outlet reported.

The White House, the State Department and the Israeli Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Israel had Araghchi and Ghalibaf on a list of targets to kill, but temporarily removed them from the list as the U.S. was conducting negotiations, The Wall Street Journal reported on March 25. Although it appears that removal did not last long, as the reported assassination attempt happened just a few months later.

US officials feared Israel was plotting to kill head Iranian negotiators: report

By New York Post. The US believed Israel was plotting to kill Iran’s head negotiators in the middle of the peace talks, with America going as far as to warn Tehran through third party countries of the risks, officials said.

Fears that Israel could derail the fledgling peace talks spiked in April as America believed the Jewish state had their eyes on Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, The New York Times reported.

The two leaders would go on to approve the current peace deal with the US. If they were killed, it would have likely prolonged the conflict as previous assassinations by Israel have.

Araghchi and Ghalibaf were known to have been on a so-called “kill list” back in March, which was composed of top regime officials who Israel sought to remove.

The two leaders, however, were removed from the list following intervention from the US as the negotiations began to take form, Reuters reported. (Read more from “US officials feared Israel was plotting to kill head Iranian negotiators: report” HERE)

Grand Jury Indicts Former Olympian For Allegedly Tampering With Reflecting Pool

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Washington, D.C. Superior Court grand jury has indicted former Olympian David Hearn on a second-degree felony charge of “Destruction of property $1,000 or more.”

Hearn “ripped a piece of recently installed sealant,” Jeanine Pirro, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, said in a press conference Thursday announcing the indictment. “[Hearn] willfully destroyed property at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool.”

Pirro stated that National Park Service (NPS) employees who were on scene claim to have observed Hearn reaching and pulling up the liner with both hands. Pirro alleges that Hearn caused damage to at least two square feet of the Reflecting Pool, citing the multi-million-dollar cost of the recent renovations to the pool to explain the charge being filed for damages of $1,000 or more.

Pirro also stated that NPS employees allege that Hearn was told not to reach into the pool, and allegedly shouted back, “It’s not your pool,” and “Why do you care so much?”

Hearn, a three-time Olympic canoeist, was first arrested on June 19 in front of the Lincoln Memorial and was charged with the “misdemeanor offense of destruction of government property,” Mediate reported.

DOJ Vows ‘Birth Tourism’ Crackdown after Supreme Court Rules Against Trump in Birthright Citizenship Case

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Justice Department on Tuesday pledged to crack down on so-called “birth tourism” after the Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s executive order outlawing birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants and US visitors.

Colin McDonald, the DOJ’s assistant attorney general for fraud enforcement, directed federal prosecutors to “zealously protect the sanctity of United States citizenship by investigating and prosecuting those who fraudulently exploit our immigration system” by traveling to the country under “false pretenses” to give birth.

“The criminal laws of the United States already prohibit conduct inherent to so many of these so-called ‘birth tourism’ schemes,” McDonald, the administration’s “fraud czar,” wrote in a memo to DOJ employees. “For example, many such schemes start with a false visa application – with lies about the purpose or duration of one’s travel to the United States.”

McDonald included three examples of birth tourism schemes the DOJ has prosecuted in recent years.

In 2024, Michael Wei Yueh Liu and Jing Dong – a husband-and-wife team – were each sentenced to 41 months in prison after being accused of running a birth tourism business that catered to Chinese nationals. Their company – “USA Happy Baby” — charged clients tens of thousands of dollars and assisted them in fraudulently obtaining US visas, according to McDonald.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Bail of $500,000 was set Wednesday in Henderson, Nevada, for alleged would-be mass shooter Allison Howlett, a male transitioning to female.

KSNV reported that Allison is married to Julie Howlett. Police indicated that both Allison and Julie are “transitioning to female and are taking estrogen and progesterone.”

8NewsNow noted that Allison was arrested on Saturday “after refusing to exit her car while armed with multiple firearms in the Sunset Station garage.”

Julie had told police that Allison was allegedly making threats, including “suicide by cop,” and claimed Allison had stolen her car. She also “alleged that Howlett would frequently put on body armor, grab a rifle, and tell her partner to take her to a homeless shelter, alluding to the idea of shooting homeless people.” (Read more from “$500,000 Bail for Alleged Would-Be Mass Shooter Transitioning to Female” HERE)

John Brennan Sues Trump Admin to Preserve Records in Federal Probes

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former CIA Director John Brennan filed a lawsuit Wednesday seeking a court order that would require the Trump administration to keep documents connected to federal inquiries involving him.

Brennan believes the records could reveal why the investigations were launched and help support a future claim that any criminal case was driven by political retaliation rather than evidence of a crime, according to the complaint. His legal team argues the documents should be preserved now because they could disappear before any case reaches court.

The filing points to years of criticism from President Donald Trump and says that his repeated attacks on Brennan show a long-running effort to punish him over his time leading the CIA and his public criticism of the president. Brennan’s lawyers argue that history could become relevant if prosecutors decide to seek an indictment.

“To fully consider those motions, the reviewing judge would need to scrutinize the motivations of the Justice Department officials who directed, oversaw, or undertook those actions to determine whether they violated Director Brennan’s rights, and specifically whether they were motivated by a desire to vindictively prosecute him as an act of retribution,” Brennan’s lawyers wrote in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit also warns that emails, messages, calendars, and other government communications tied to the inquiries could be deleted or lost unless a judge orders agencies to preserve them. Brennan’s attorneys say those records may be needed to examine whether the investigations were handled properly.

MAGA Melts Down After Melania Trump Defends Supreme Court Ruling: ‘I’ve Lost Respect’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

MAGA followers were livid after first lady Melania Trump issued a rare statement voicing her support for the LGBTQ+ community on Tuesday.

Trump shared her comments in a post on X following the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold laws in West Virginia and Idaho that bar transgender girls from female school sports. The ruling was considered a setback for the transgender community, according to The Associated Press.

In her statement, Trump cited an excerpt from her own self-titled book “Melania” — and the page number.

“The U.S. Supreme Court has now legally confirmed this opinion: ‘Under Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, may schools maintain women’s and girls’ sports for biological females? … The answer is yes.’ America, we can support the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and also protect opportunities for female athletes. Respect everyone and keep girls’ sports fair. Both ideals are essential,” Trump wrote.

Loyal MAGA fans expressed their outrage in response to the first lady’s comments.

A helicopter from the U.S. 5th fleet had an “emergency water landing” in the Arabian Sea on Wednesday, according to the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command.

The emergency water landing happened at 3:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, according to an X post from the U.S. 5th Fleet. The helicopter had a crew of four people; three were recovered, but one crewmember is still missing, according to the X post.

The helicopter was an MH-60S Seahawk helicopter assigned to USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77), according to the X post. There is no indication that the emergency was caused by hostile action, the post said.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The U.S. 5th Fleet declined to comment.

The Seahawk can be equipped for multiple different missions, including Anti-Surface Warfare, combat support, humanitarian disaster relief, Combat Search and Rescue, aero medical evacuation, SPECWAR and organic Airborne Mine Countermeasures, according to the U.S. Navy. However, it remains unclear what package the helicopter was flying with at the time it went down.

Mitch McConnell Found Unconscious In DC Home Last Month, EMS Dispatch Reveals

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was found “unconscious” at his residence in Washington, D.C., in June, according to a District Fire and EMS dispatch call recording released Wednesday.

An Advanced Life Support ambulance arrived at McConnell’s home shortly before 9 a.m. on June 14 and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for a “cardiac arrest,” according to the dispatch call first reported by Punchbowl News. Hours after his hospitalization, McConnell spokesperson David Popp told the Daily Caller News Foundation that McConnell was “admitted” to the hospital and received “excellent care.”

McConnell’s office has not disclosed the 84-year-old senator’s health issues or his condition.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune told the DCNF on June 15 that McConnell was “dialed in” on their conference’s legislative calls and sounded good on the phone. McConnell has not returned to Capitol Hill since his hospitalization.

McConnell’s and Thune’s offices did not immediately respond to the DCNF’s requests for comment to clarify their previous statements in light of this latest development.

The elderly senator faced several health issues in the past. He was hospitalized in February for flu-like symptoms, which forced him to miss votes. He fell in the basement of the Russell Senate Office building in October 2025 while a reporter blocked him from accessing the railing while peppering him with questions about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
