Suspect in Fatal Shooting of Unitedhealthcare CEO Brian Thompson ID’d as Luigi Mangione, an Ex-Ivy League Student

/2 Comments/in , /by

The suspect nabbed in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is an anti-capitalist Ivy League grad who liked online quotes from “Unabomber’’ Ted Kaczynski — and seethed in a manifesto, “These parasites had it coming,” law enforcement sources told The Post on Monday.

Tech whiz Luigi Mangione, 26, originally from Towson, Md., apparently hated the medical community because of how it treated his sick relative, sources said.

He has not been charged in the slaying but was taken into custody Monday morning while eating at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa., ending an intense manhunt sparked by the coldblooded execution of Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel last week, sources said.

The former prep school valedictorian was caught with a ghost gun that uses 9mm bullets, a silencer, a US passport, four fake IDs with names used during the killer’s stint in New York City and the manifesto, sources said.

The manifesto consisted of two and a half handwritten pages that mirrored the quotes that Mangione posted on his Goodreads account from wacky anti-establishment Ted Kaczynski, the infamous “Unabomber’’ who terrorized the country for nearly two decades by mailing deadly bombs before he was nabbed in 1996, sources said.

Trump Reveals Several State Department Picks, Announces Role for Attorney Alina Habba

/1 Comment/in , /by

President-elect Trump announced that Alina Habba would be joining his White House team as the counselor to the President on Sunday evening.

“Alina has been a tireless advocate for Justice, a fierce Defender of the Rule of Law, and an invaluable Advisor to my Campaign and Transition Team,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “She has been unwavering in her loyalty, and unmatched in her resolve – standing with me through numerous ‘trials,’ battles, and countless days in court.”

The president-elect noted that there are not many who understand the weaponization of the “injustice” system as well as Habba.

“As a first generation American of Middle Eastern Heritage, she has become a role model for women in Law and Politics, most recently being named Chaldean Woman of the Year,” Trump continued. “Congratulations to Alina, her husband Gregg, and her three beautiful children, Chloe, Luke, and Parker.”

Habba responded on X, saying, “Honor of my life to serve the 45th and 47th President of the American people.” (Read more from “Trump Reveals Several State Department Picks, Announces Role for Attorney Alina Habba” HERE)

Jay-Z Accused of Raping Girl, 13, With Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs More Than 2 Decades Ago: Bombshell Lawsuit

/6 Comments/in , /by

Hip-hop legend Jay-Z has been accused of allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl with Sean “Diddy” Combs at a VMAs afterparty in New York two decades ago, a bombshell lawsuit claims.

The alleged victim — only identified as “Jane Doe” — leveled the disturbing allegation in a newly re-filed civil lawsuit filed in the Southern District of New York on Sunday.

The complaint was originally filed in October against Combs but has since been amended to include Jay-Z — whose real name is Shawn Carter.

Carter, though, lashed out at the allegations last Sunday — claiming in a statement that the alleged victim’s lawyer re-filed the complaint only after allegedly trying to “blackmail” him first.

In the court papers, the alleged teen victim claims she was attacked by Combs and Carter at the drug-fueled house party in September 2000 after the VMAs show at Radio City Music Hall as an unnamed “female celebrity” watched on.

Congress Will Block Harmful Trans Procedures for Children of Military Members

/1 Comment/in , /by

Congress will ban the use of taxpayer funds for gender transition surgeries for children who get their medical care through the military’s health care program, according to the text of legislation posted on Saturday evening.

This year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) includes language that prohibits coverage under Tricare of transgender procedures that could “result in sterilization” of children. Section 708 of the NDAA states: “Medical interventions for the treatment of gender dysphoria that could result in sterilization may not be provided to a child under the age of 18,” according to a copy of the NDAA viewed by The Daily Wire.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson told The Daily Wire on Saturday that this is a “critical and necessary step” in the fight against “radical gender ideology.”

“Taxpayer dollars should never be used to support procedures and treatments that could permanently harm and sterilize young people,” Johnson told The Daily Wire. “In this year’s NDAA, we’re taking a critical and necessary step to protect the children of American service members from radical gender ideology and experimental drugs.”

He further promised: “House Republicans will continue to take action to protect America’s kids.”

Transitioning Didn’t Make Me a Woman — But Rejecting Trans Ideology Taught Me What It Means to Be a Man

/2 Comments/in , /by

I am a 31-year-old man. I am engaged to the love of my life, a woman with whom I look forward to building a family. I have a rewarding job. On top of all this, Donald Trump takes office in just under seven weeks. I am optimistic about the future for the first time in 10 years.

I also used to be trans.

Specifically, I am an MtFtM detransitioner — i.e., I was born male, experienced severe gender dysphoria, decided that I needed to live as a female, transitioned, realized that this wasn’t the “solution” I thought it would be, destransitioned, and have gone back to living as a man.

Based on this experience — which included hormone therapy, facial feminization surgery, and breast augmentation — as well as extensive research, here are some things I think gender-dysphoric males should consider before transitioning.

Just because someone referred to you using she/her doesn’t mean you passed to them.

A very small percentage of males have the capacity to ever pass, and even for most of these, it will require surgery.

There are real long-term health consequences to hormone replacement, including but not limited to infertility and a vastly elevated risk of testicular cancer.

U.S., Israel Conduct Dozens Of Strikes, Hit Over 75 Targets In Wake Of Syria’s Regime Collapse

/4 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. and Israel conducted dozens of airstrikes Sunday on targets in Syria following the dramatic collapse of the ruling Assad regime and amid concerns radical and terrorist groups could exploit Syria’s current situation.

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced it hit over 75 “known [Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham] ISIS camps and operatives in central Syria” using precision airstrikes.

CENTCOM added that it struck the targets to “disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS” and render it incapable of exploiting the nation’s current state to regroup in central Syria.

There was no indication of civilian deaths from the strikes, CENTCOM noted.

“There should be no doubt — we will not allow ISIS to reconstitute and take advantage of the current situation in Syria,” CENTCOM’s commander, General Michael Erik Kurilla, said. “All organizations in Syria should know that we will hold them accountable if they partner with or support ISIS in any way.” (Read more from “‘They Came in Illegally’: Trump Clashes With ‘Meet the Press’ Host Over Deportation Promises” HERE)

‘Just Incredible’: Biden’s Preemptive Pardon Names Are ‘Obviously Guilty of Something’

/2 Comments/in , /by

The author of “Laptop from Hell,” the book documenting alleged crimes by Biden family members, is now predicting the next pardons coming from Joe now that the president has excused his son Hunter, and says the listing of names likely to receive “preemptive pardons” demonstrates their guilt.

“All the people that are listed as going to get pardons, there’s sort of diplomatic immunity or Democratic immunity for crimes not even charged by Joe Biden,” author and New York Post columnist Miranda Devine told Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” on the Fox News Channel, “they’re obviously guilty of something because otherwise why would they be wanting pardons.”

Among those whose names have been floated for preemptive pardons are Sen.-elect Adam Schiff, D-Calif.; former NIH Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo.; and Gen. Mark Milley, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for “making secret phone calls to China during President-elect Trump’s first term in office, unbeknownst to the commander in chief,” Bartiromo noted.

Devine added: “I think this shows with Liz Cheney there is a lot of allegations around about her untoward behavior during the J6 committee that she was vice chair of.

“And there’s a lawyer Stefan Passantino who has made a bar complaint in the D.C. Bar against her for communicating with his client Cassidy Hutchinson without him when she was on the J6 committee and asking her to testify.” (Read more from “‘Just Incredible’: Biden’s Preemptive Pardon Names Are ‘Obviously Guilty of Something’” HERE)

Tommy Tuberville Shares What We’re All Wondering About the Hunter Biden Pardon

/3 Comments/in , /by

It’s been a week since President Joe Biden announced he was pardoning his son, Hunter, after he and White House Press Secretary Karine-Jean Pierre had already claimed multiple times he would do no such thing. The reaction has been strong and swift, with Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) among those weighing in. He’s also raised some key points as to how this goes deeper than Hunter Biden, as he did while on “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakick” on OutKick.com last week.

As OutKick so aptly put it, Tuberville very much “Took A BLOWTORCH To The Biden Family.” The pardon for Hunter isn’t merely noteworthy when it comes to the first son’s crimes and convictions, but the timeframe. The pardon dates back to nearly 11 years, when Joe Biden was actually in office as the vice president.

In speaking with Dakick, Tuberville repeated what he had said earlier that week to a gaggle of press, which is that “that’s his son, most parents would do that.” It goes deeper than that, though, as Tuberville lambasted the corruption involved.

“Number one, it’s the most corrupt political family, even more than the Clintons, that’s been in politics all their life. They have taken millions of dollars from Ukraine, from China. It’s a known fact. The money has gone into the banks, millions of dollars to grandkids, the kids, to Biden himself. They made a fortune off this country, off the American taxpayers. They haven’t paid taxes on it. The kid is a drug addict. He’ll never get off crack. He can’t get off of it. He’s got huge problems,” Tuberville shared, speaking about the Biden family as a whole and specifically about Hunter.

Report: Syrian Regime Falls; Assad Flees; Possible Plane Crash

/2 Comments/in , /by

Reports from the Middle East indicate that the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad has fallen, with the dictator fleeing the country as rebel forces entered the capital city of Damascus.

Unconfirmed social media reports also suggest that Assad’s plane crashed.

The sudden collapse of the Assad regime, dating back over half a century to the rule of Hafez al-Assad, Bashar’s father, has rocked the Middle East and could mean the Iranian regime, a Syrian ally, is in danger.

Assad was one of the most notorious tyrants in the world, one who used chemical weapons against his own people. His regime nearly fell in the civil war that erupted during the Arab Spring in 2011, but he was shored up by Russian and Iranian forces.

Obama Warns of Those Who ‘Rig Elections and Weaponize the Justice System’

/4 Comments/in , /by

Former President Barack Obama on Thursday claimed the moral high ground by cautioning “one side” of politics is going to “stack the deck” by stealing elections and politicize the U.S. government.

He declined to name which specific party should be attributed with those anti-democratic principles but added they should be opposed.

In a speech at the third annual Obama Foundation Democracy Forum in Chicago, Illinois, the 63-year-old called for a renewed commitment to pluralist ethics and said the consequences of failing to do so are barely worth considering.

He said:

There are going to be times, potentially, when one side tries to stack the deck and lock in a [long pause] permanent grip on power—either by actively suppressing votes, or politicizing the armed forces, or using the judiciary and the criminal justice system to go after opponents.

In those circumstances, pluralism does not call for us to just stand back and say, ‘Well, I’m not sure that’s okay.’

In those circumstances, a line has been crossed, and we have to stand firm.
