FBI: Dallas Sniper Who Attacked ICE Facility had ‘Anti-ICE’ ‘Ideological Motive’

/4 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. FBI Director Kash Patel reported that the man who shot at an ICE facility in Dallas on Wednesday morning had an “idealogical {sic} motive.” At least one of the bullets loaded in a clip had “Anti-ICE” marked on the shell casing.

Director Patel said the man fired several rounds at the Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility Wednesday morning. Patel said the man killed one person and wounded several others. He then took his own life as agents approached his rooftop location.

In a statement on social media, Patel wrote:

While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an idealogical motive behind this attack (see photo below). One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase “ANTI ICE.” More updates will be forthcoming.

These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off. We are only miles from Prarieland Texas where just two months ago an individual ambushed a separate ICE facility targeting their officers. It has to end and the FBI and our partners will lead the these investigative efforts to see to it that those who target our law enforcement are pursued and brought to the fullest extent of justice.

Shooter Joshua Jahn’s brother claims sniper ‘didn’t have strong feelings about ICE’: report

By New York Post. The anti-ICE gunman who opened fire on agents and migrants at a federal facility in Dallas Wednesday, killing one person and wounding two others, “didn’t have strong feelings” about ICE — and knew how to use a rifle, but wasn’t a very good shot, according to his brother.

“I didn’t think he was politically interested,” Joshua Jahn’s brother Noah told NBC News. “He wasn’t interested in politics on either side as far as I knew.

“He didn’t have strong feelings about ICE as far as I knew.” . . .

He said his brother knew how to shoot — and their parents owned a rifle — but that Joshua wasn’t a skilled shooter.

“He’s not a marksman. He would not be able to make any shots like that,” Noah Jahn said. (Read more from “Shooter Joshua Jahn’s brother claims sniper ‘didn’t have strong feelings about ICE’: report” HERE)

Trump, Epstein ‘Best Friends Forever’ Statue Hastily Removed From DC’s National Mall

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A garish statue of President Trump and late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was mysteriously erected on the National Mall on Tuesday — and removed by Wednesday morning.

The bronze sculpture stood about 12 feet tall and appeared to show both men in a merry dance with Trump’s left hand gripping Epstein’s right.

One of the plaques under the figures read: “We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend’ Jeffrey Epstein” and attributed the stunt to an anonymous group called “The Secret Handshake.”

“We’re a very small group of citizens who are using art, irony, and humor to express social commentary and spark political conversation in public spaces,” the group told USA Today.

US Park Police hauled the installation away before daybreak Wednesday, telling WUSA 9 that it wasn’t in compliance with a permit that initially allowed it to remain through Sunday evening — though the department did not specify the issue.

The Rapture Didn’t Happen as Predicted in ‘Prophet’s’ Viral Video — and Now True Believers Are Depressed

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Rapture didn’t happen Tuesday as predicted by a “prophet” in a viral video that prompted some followers to quit their jobs, sell their possessions and ditch exams — and now true believers say they’re deeply depressed.

Followers took to social media Wednesday to mourn the fact that Jesus didn’t return to Earth and float them up to heaven as promised by Joshua Mhlakela of South Africa, who was featured in a Youtube video that took TikTok by storm.

“I didn’t do my exams because I [thought] it doesn’t matter,” one crushed believer wrote on Tiktok with a crying emoji — one day after realizing the end wasn’t really nigh. “Now look at me.”

@danielsixten Some are claiming the rapture would happen in 2025, like Joshua Mhlakela on September 23. But God’s Word is clear: “No one knows the day or the hour, not even the angels, nor the Son, but the Father only” (Matthew 24:36). When someone sets dates in the Lord’s name, Scripture calls it false prophecy (Ezekiel 13:6). But God’s mercy is still open: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us” (1 John 1:9). Don’t be led astray. Live ready. Our hope isn’t in a date—it’s in Jesus. ✝️🔥 #ChristianNews #rapture #raptureapology #joshuamhlakela #jesusiscoming ♬ original sound – Daniel Six Ten

A somber video posted by an apparent religious leader, titled “My Apologies,” also raked in a slew of regretful comments under the hashtag #rapturenow.

“I’m here with all humility to apologize to everyone who have [seen] me promote brother Joshua’s 23rd and 24th date of September rapture,” the man can be seen declaring in TikTok footage posted Wednesday.

@lkystrm Happy rapture day or whatever September 23 2025 is lol #rapture #raptureready #raptured #lol ♬ original sound – jen💫

Trump Says NATO Should Shoot Down Russian Jets That Violate Airspace, Escalating Tensions With Moscow

/9 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump dramatically escalated his rhetoric on Tuesday, calling on NATO countries to shoot down Russian aircraft that violate their airspace. The remarks, made during a bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, are likely to reverberate across Europe and further strain already tense relations between NATO and Moscow.

Asked directly by a reporter whether NATO allies should respond with military force to airspace violations by Russian jets, Trump did not hesitate:

“Yes, I do,” he replied.

The statement, though brief, represents a significant escalation in Trump’s posture toward Russia — one that, if acted upon, could lead to direct military conflict between NATO and the Kremlin. Shooting down a Russian military aircraft, even in defense of NATO airspace, could trigger retaliatory measures and plunge Europe into a broader war.

Trump’s stance on NATO has been inconsistent over the years. As president, he frequently criticized NATO members for not spending enough on defense and questioned the alliance’s relevance. His Tuesday comments, however, seemed to embrace NATO’s core doctrine of collective defense — albeit in a manner that raises the stakes exponentially.

Military analysts warn that even a single such incident — a NATO member downing a Russian aircraft — could spark retaliatory strikes, diplomatic fallout, or even invoke Article 5, NATO’s mutual defense clause, which could lead to full-scale conflict between Russia and the West.

Zelenskyy, seated beside Trump, did not publicly respond to the call for shooting down Russian jets, but has repeatedly urged Western nations to take a firmer stance against Russian aggression. Ukraine has long called for tougher NATO action, particularly following repeated Russian airspace violations near NATO borders in Eastern Europe.

The former president’s comments came just hours after he blasted the United Nations in a separate speech, accusing the international body of undermining U.S. interests and enabling illegal immigration.

“Not only is the U.N. not solving the problems it should. It, too often, is actually creating new problems for us to solve,” Trump said. “The best example is the No. 1 political issue of our time: the crisis of uncontrolled migration. It is uncontrolled. Your countries are being ruined.”

He further accused the U.N. of actively supporting illegal immigration into the United States by providing “food, shelter, transportation and debit cards” to migrants.

“The U.N. is supporting people that are illegally coming into the United States, and we have to get them out,” he added.

U.S. Blocks Iranian Diplomats From Shopping at Costco, Imposes Luxury Goods Ban During UN Visit

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Trump administration has moved to restrict Iranian diplomats visiting the United States from accessing wholesale retailers such as Costco, Sam’s Club, and BJ’s Wholesale Club, as part of a broader effort to limit what officials describe as luxury privileges for the Iranian regime during their visit to New York for the United Nations General Assembly.

In a statement released Monday, State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said the new restrictions are aimed at preventing Iranian officials from engaging in what he called a “shopping spree” while Iranian citizens continue to suffer under economic hardship.

“We will not allow the Iranian regime to allow its clerical elites to have a shopping spree in New York while the Iranian people endure poverty, crumbling infrastructure, and dire shortages of water and electricity,” Pigott said.

According to a notice scheduled for publication in the Federal Register, Iranian diplomats — including those stationed at the Iranian Mission in New York — will now require U.S. government approval to obtain memberships and make purchases at any wholesale club store. These stores, known for selling goods in bulk at reduced prices, are widely used by diplomats and foreign delegations to procure goods often unavailable or heavily sanctioned in their home countries.

The policy also includes restrictions on luxury goods. Iranian officials will need specific permission to purchase any item valued over $1,000, including electronics, watches, jewelry, leather and silk apparel, perfumes, alcohol, and vehicles priced above $60,000.

In addition to commercial restrictions, the U.S. has re-imposed strict limitations on the movement of Iranian diplomats, confining them to the immediate vicinity necessary to travel between the United Nations headquarters and their accommodations. This echoes similar restrictions from previous years but arrives at a time of heightened geopolitical tension and ongoing disputes over Iran’s nuclear program.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is expected to lead the Iranian delegation to the UN, amid rising uncertainty over the future of the 2015 nuclear agreement and the anticipated re-imposition of UN sanctions that were previously lifted under the accord.

The U.S. also denied entry to Palestinian Authority officials, including President Mahmoud Abbas, blocking them from attending a scheduled two-state solution conference on Monday.

Charlie Kirk’s Memorial Compared to ‘Nazi Rally’

/11 Comments/in , , /by

Charlie Kirk, the slain conservative political activist, had a memorial service on September 21 at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Streamer Destiny, or Steven Kenneth Bonnell II, who’s also a political commentator, compared it to a Nazi rally, drawing backlash.

“This Charlie Kirk ‘memorial’ is indistinguishable from a Nazi rally,” he said on X. Destiny doubled down on the comparison, sharing a photo of Hitler looking down on troops. The picture was in response to the White House posting a black-and-white photo of President Donald Trump looking on at the gathering in the stadium for Kirk’s memorial service.

Several X users were quick to slam Destiny for the comparison to Nazis, with many pointing out that Kirk’s wife, Erika, made a speech about ‘forgiving’ the suspected shooter – a message aligned to Christian principles rather than Nazism.

One user commented, “’Forgive them, Lord, they know not what they do.’ …which Nazi said that?”. Another on X said, “I totally remember that rally where Hitler publicly forgave the plotters who tried to assassinate him and then he called upon them to give their hearts to Jesus.”

Yet another person added, “Yeah, man. I remember that one time when Hitler gave that speech and called on everyone to respond to hate with love. They clapped when he said he loved his enemies and that Germany must be committed to embracing the teachings of Jesus Christ in their hearts.” (Read more from “Charlie Kirk’s Memorial Compared to ‘Nazi Rally’” HERE)

Young Republican Blocked From Entering Church Where Woke DA Was Speaking — as Lefty Activists Formed Human Wall to Keep Him Out

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A young Republican activist was blocked from a church in Philadelphia by woke activists who formed a human wall to keep him out, according to video footage.

Frank Scales, 22, founder of Surge Philly, shared footage showed a group of activists barring his entry to a town hall with woke Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner last Thursday night at the historic Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Society Hill.

“You’re not coming in. You’re not coming in. Simple as that. You’re not coming into our sacred spaces,” a man outside the 19th-century church holding a bullhorn tells Scales, in footage shared by Surge Philly, a young Republicans group, on Instagram.

Scales, who is white, asks why he can’t come in, to which the man replies, “Because I said you’re not.”

In tense scenes, the man tells Scales, “You’ll see what it means if you come in.” (Read more from “Young Republican Blocked From Entering Church Where Woke DA Was Speaking — as Lefty Activists Formed Human Wall to Keep Him Out”. HERE)

Tucker Carlson Sparks Outcry Over “Antisemitic” Comments at Charlie Kirk Memorial as New Video Casts Doubt on FBI Narrative

/52 Comments/in , , /by

Tucker Carlson has come under fire following remarks made during a memorial service for conservative activist Charlie Kirk, whose recent assassination has stirred political tensions and rampant speculation.

Speaking to a packed crowd at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, Carlson appeared to compare Kirk’s death to the crucifixion of Jesus, suggesting both were targeted for speaking uncomfortable truths to power.

“So it’s about 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem, and Jesus shows up and he starts talking about the people in power… and they just go bonkers,” Carlson said. “They become obsessed with making him stop: ‘This guy’s got to stop talking. We’ve got to shut this guy up.’”

Carlson then added: “I can just sort of picture the scene in a lamp-lit room with a bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus, thinking about — ‘What do we do about this guy telling the truth about us? We must make him stop talking.’ And there’s always one guy with the bright idea, and I can just hear him say, ‘I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we just kill him?’”

Carlson’s remarks sparked immediate backlash from several Jewish groups and Israeli media outlets, who accused him of promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories. Critics pointed to his reference to hummus—despite it not being historically accurate to ancient Judea—as a possible allusion to modern Israel:

Carlson has not responded to the allegations, and he did not explicitly name any individual or group in his speech. While the FBI has maintained that the shooting appears politically motivated and was likely carried out by a lone actor, many remain unconvinced.

Online discourse has increasingly centered around the possibility of foreign involvement, with some voices suggesting Israeli interests could have had a motive—though no hard evidence has emerged to support these claims. Nonetheless, the topic has gained traction in certain corners of the media.

Adding to the uncertainty, a new video that began circulating today appears to contradict the FBI’s official timeline and trajectory of the shooting. The footage seems to show that Kirk was shot from a direction inconsistent with the agency’s claims. See below:

Israeli Drone Strike Kills American Family in Lebanon, Lebanese Officials Say

/3 Comments/in , , /by

An Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon killed five civilians on Sunday, including four U.S. citizens — a father and his three children — according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. The strike, which also left two people injured, including the children’s mother, has sparked outrage across Lebanon and renewed concerns about escalating tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border.

The Israeli military confirmed it conducted the strike, claiming it targeted a Hezbollah militant who was “operating from within a civilian population.” While acknowledging civilian casualties, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said it is reviewing the incident.

Lebanese officials say the drone strike occurred in the southern village of Qana, a region that has been repeatedly hit by Israeli strikes in recent months. Although Hezbollah has largely refrained from cross-border fire since a U.S.-brokered ceasefire was reached in November, Israel has continued to launch near-daily attacks on what it claims are Hezbollah positions in southern and eastern Lebanon.

Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri confirmed that four of the five people killed held American citizenship. As of Sunday evening, the U.S. Embassy in Beirut had not issued a statement.

The attack comes amid fragile post-war conditions following the monthslong conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, which claimed an estimated 4,000 lives in Lebanon and displaced tens of thousands of people. The ceasefire agreement, brokered by the United States in coordination with France and the United Nations, was meant to halt hostilities and begin a phased withdrawal of both Israeli forces and Hezbollah fighters from southern Lebanon.

However, Lebanon says Israel has failed to honor the terms of the agreement, maintaining a military presence at five strategic hilltop locations near the border. Hezbollah, for its part, has refused to disarm, citing continued Israeli aggression and a lack of trust in the international monitoring mechanism.

President Joseph Aoun, speaking from New York where he arrived ahead of the United Nations General Assembly, condemned the Israeli strike and called on the international community to pressure Israel to cease its operations in Lebanese territory. He was joined by Prime Minister Nawaf Salam in urging full implementation of last month’s agreement aimed at gradually disarming Hezbollah while ensuring Lebanese sovereignty.

Liberal CNN Analyst Shares ‘Shocking’ Text Charlie Kirk Sent to Him — a Day Before Assassination

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Liberal CNN analyst Van Jones revealed Saturday that he received a message from conservative activist Charlie Kirk that “shocked” him one day before the influencer was assassinated at a college tour event in Utah.

“Hey Van, I mean it, I’d love to have you on my show to have a respectful conversation about crime and race,” Kirk wrote in his message, which Jones shared on his Instagram.

Jones, who said he and Kirk were “beefing hard” in the last week of the Turning Point USA founder’s life, was clearly moved by the message.

“I would be a gentleman as I know you would be as well,” the slain 31-year-old conservative activist had added. “We can disagree about the issues agreeably.”

“Charlie Kirk and I were not friends. At all,” the CNN analyst said, noting that the message “shocked me.” (Read more from “Liberal CNN Analyst Shares ‘Shocking’ Text Charlie Kirk Sent to Him — a Day Before Assassination” HERE)
