In the fall of 2022, a disabled 300-pound Air Force veteran in his mid-70s by the name of Craig Robertson posted the following message on Facebook from his home in Provo, Utah: “Hey Merrick Garland, You Demented Weasel. Send your FBI SWAT team to my house.” Less than a year later, Merrick Garland did exactly that. Shortly before 6:00 AM, a heavily armed FBI SWAT team showed up at Robertson’s door. They brought an armored vehicle with them, along with night-vision goggles, ballistic shields, and a mechanical boom that they used to shatter his windows. Dozens of agents then launched flashbangs and barged into his home, without even giving him the opportunity to get dressed. When Robertson awoke, startled, officers say he pointed a handgun at them. They quickly shot him several times, then dragged his body onto the sidewalk — where it remained, unattended, for several hours. As news of the killing spread, various members of the media — including one of my producers — filed records requests so that we could see the FBI bodycam footage of the shooting. But we never received it. The FBI acknowledged that the footage exists, but they’ve refused to share it. To this day, the FBI insists that the information cannot be released, saying it might interfere with some vague, unmentioned “law enforcement proceedings.” Meanwhile, as they hid the evidence, the Biden administration celebrated what they had done. The neighbors were horrified, but the Biden White House was thrilled with the outcome. Craig Robertson, they said, had threatened Joe Biden’s life in various Facebook posts. And because Biden was visiting Utah that day, the FBI had no choice but to assault the man’s home — even though he was crippled. Watch: Biden’s spokesman is just happy no law enforcement officers got hurt. He’s grateful that this terrorist mastermind — this crippled 75-year-old obese man, who needs a cane to get around — was taken out, without any loss of innocent life. What’s left unstated by Biden’s spokesman — and by the corporate media — is that, more than six months before this pre-dawn raid, FBI agents watched Craig Robertson drive to church, which he did every week. They saw him hobble with his cane, sit down in the pews, attend a service, and then hobble back home. And then when he got home, the agents asked him a series of questions about his Facebook posts — to which Robertson replied, “don’t come back without a warrant.” So they were tracking this guy for the better part of a year. They knew his routine. They knew of his physical condition. And they knew he was highly paranoid about law enforcement — justifiably so, it turns out. Therefore, whatever you make of Robertson’s Facebook posts — some of them were probably illegal, under the law — it’s obvious that the FBI had no reason whatsoever to besiege his home before 6:00 AM, as if he was Osama bin Laden. They could’ve walked up to him on his way to church and put him in handcuffs. They could’ve placed him under surveillance, to see if he was really going to suit up in camouflage and try to assassinate Joe Biden. They also could’ve taken his cane away, and told him to go to sleep. All of these options would’ve worked fine. But it’s obvious why Joe Biden’s FBI decided against taking any of these steps. They wanted to kill Craig Robertson. They knew he would grab his revolver if they tried to break into his home at 6:00 AM. They knew his response would give them the pretext they needed. And then, as they sprawled Craig Robertson’s lifeless body on the sidewalk, they’d be able to send a very clear message to every other so-called “MAGA Republican” in the country. Alex Wong/Getty Images Just months before Robertson was shot to death, Joe Biden — flanked by Marines, in front of a blood-red background — declared that “MAGA Republicans” were the single greatest domestic terror threat faced by Americans. In no uncertain terms, Joe Biden ordered his entire administration, including the FBI, to pursue MAGA Republicans as if they were members of Al Qaeda. And that’s exactly what the FBI’s field office in Salt Lake City did, when they attacked the home of Craig Robertson. They were following Biden’s orders. Now that the Biden administration is out of power, it’s easy to forget about the story of Craig Robertson. But we shouldn’t forget about it, for several reasons. First of all, obviously, it’s a reminder of what Democrats will do if they ever return to power. They won’t simply imprison their political enemies. They’ll happily kill them, if they can concoct any justification for doing so. But there’s now another reason to revisit the case. Over the weekend, as you may have seen, Democrats held a series of so-called “No Kings” protests in various locations across the country. Yes, they were sparsely attended, and many of the attendees were old pathetic geezers. But these protests still served a purpose. They allowed Democrats to openly call for the deaths of their political opponents. And these were not the idle, online threats of a disabled 75-year-old man. They were threats of violence that were made, in public and in broad daylight, by people who have the capacity to carry them out — many of whom were demonstrating their allegiance to Antifa, a known terrorist organization. As you watch some of these threats of violence, ask yourself: Why haven’t any of these people been raided by FBI SWAT teams at 6:00 AM? Why haven’t any of them had their windows demolished by armored vehicles, before they can even put their clothes on? That’s not to say these people should suffer the same fate as Craig Robertson. And I’m certainly not saying that the FBI should concoct a pretext to kill any of these people. But at the same time, as long as we’re pretending that the rule of law still exists in this country, you’d think they’d suffer some consequences for breaking the law, just as Craig Robertson supposedly broke the law. And yet, as far as we know, none of the Leftists who made threats of violence have even been questioned by federal authorities — much less arrested, much less attacked in their own homes at 6:00 AM. This is footage from the perimeter of a “No Kings” protest in downtown Chicago over the weekend. Christopher Sweat, with Graystak Media, shot this footage.

These ICE agents gotta get shot and wiped out. The same machinery that’s on full display right there has to get wiped out.” In the longer clip, the man says that killing ICE agents is necessary to ensure justice for “black people” and “working class people” and “Palestine.”  By any measure, this is unlawful speech. The man should be arrested for it. The feds should seize all of his computers and cellphones, and figure out who he’s been coordinating with, if anyone. We need to know if anyone is funding him, too. These are basic steps that need to be taken to ensure that more conservatives aren’t assassinated. So — is anyone taking them? We have no idea, at the moment. Certainly, there’s been no statement from the DOJ that this person has been arrested, or that his home has been raided. The man has supposedly been identified by random internet detectives as a staff member at Wilbur Wright College, which wouldn’t be remotely surprising. Some of the most deranged, violent Leftists work in “academia.” But we don’t have official confirmation at this point, even though we should have it. We need to see mass arrests after these so-called “protests.” Here’s another threat of violence. This one was captured by Brandi Kruse, of the “Undivided” podcast. The footage is from Seattle. Watch: ??? “Peaceful” No Kings marcher in Seattle tells me he will kill @StephenM if he has the chance. pic.twitter.com/UuiEKvSPGI — Brandi Kruse (@BrandiKruse) October 18, 2025 Credit: @BrandiKruse/X.com There’s another video that Brandi Kruse uploaded, shortly after this one, in which a random middle-aged guy — who looks relatively normal — says basically the same thing. He agrees that it would be, “justifiable” to murder Stephen Miller. Again, this is the prevailing sentiment on the Left right now. The FBI is apparently aware of this footage, according to Brandi Kruse. But we don’t know exactly what that means. The FBI certainly hasn’t released a statement saying they’ve arrested this person and thrown him in solitary confinement. And until that happens, they might as well do nothing at all. Until there’s an actual crackdown on these people — with a tenth of the intensity of the Biden administration’s crackdown on conservatives — then nothing will change. They will continue threatening us, and killing us, with total impunity. And indeed, that was the entire point of the so-called “No Kings” protests. This is footage from Chicago, in which a woman mocks the assassination of Charlie Kirk, as Kirk’s supporters drove by. She mimes a gun shooting someone in the neck. Watch: ? BREAKING: This woman who mocked and justified the assassination of Charlie Kirk publicly and with glee is reportedly a CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOL teacher. She must be FIRED if so! This scum does not belong near our children, period. pic.twitter.com/2608vXzwOB — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 19, 2025 Credit: @EricLDaugh/X.com In probably the least surprising development of all time, this woman has been identified online as a “public school teacher” in Chicago. There’s no official confirmation, but her reported school — Nathan Hale Elementary School — apparently just deleted its X account and took its entire website offline. So that seems like confirmation. It’s also yet another pretty strong indicator that you should homeschool your children, immediately — or at least take them out of public school. A huge number of public school teachers think like this. They’re truly demented individuals, and they want your children to end up just like them. There’s a very high likelihood that, if your child is in public school and you’re a conservative, his teacher wants him dead and you dead alongside him. That’s just the reality. And again, this woman belongs in prison. She’s threatening Charlie Kirk supporters, to their faces. It’s unambiguous. So why hasn’t she been arrested? Where’s the SWAT team for her? We’ll run through a few more examples of Leftists glorifying violence at these so-called “protests.” Some of these don’t rise to the level of criminal conduct, necessarily — but they do give you a sense of the prevailing sentiment on the Left. This is footage from The Maine Wire. Watch: ⚡WILD: A No Kings protestor tells us in no uncertain terms that she wants Trump dead: pic.twitter.com/hSvnerFz75 — The Maine Wire (@TheMaineWire) October 18, 2025 Credit: @TheMaineWire/X.com One of the things you probably noticed, watching this clip, is that the woman seems happy, overall. She’s out there on her birthday. She’s smiling. Other than being massively overweight, she seems normal enough. And then, without missing a beat, or changing her sing-songy demeanor in any way, she says she’d be thrilled if another human being — the president of the United States — died a horrible death. And the women behind her clearly think the same way. Of course, if this woman really believed she was living in a fascist empire, under a King, she wouldn’t be allowed outside to protest at all. And she certainly wouldn’t be happy, smiling for the cameras, as if she’s out for a picnic. She wouldn’t be joking around with her friends. So how do we explain this inconsistency? One way to think of these protests is that — for a large contingent on the Left — they’re an opportunity to do something with their very empty and dysfunctional lives. They don’t believe in God. Many of them have damaged relationships with their family and friends, if they have relationships at all. They’re profoundly hateful people, indistinguishable from demons. They’ve been “affirmed” and indoctrinated for decades, even as the central promises of their ideology, one by one, have turned out to be lies. So in their boredom and nihilism, they attempt to express themselves through aimless, astroturfed protests about a monarchy, even though we don’t even have a monarchy. Without any guiding principles or morality — and without any fear of consequences — they have no problem making death threats, or making light of death. It’s entertaining for them. It’s all they have left. @JackPosobiec/X.com Credit: @JackPosobiec/X.com That’s presumably why this elderly man, for example, showed up to a protest dressed as Charlie Kirk’s assassin. A normal man, of this age, would be playing with his grandchildren, or going to church, or reading a book, or tending a garden. He’d also, by this point, have come to terms with his own mortality. But when elderly, immature men haven’t come to terms with their own mortality — when they don’t believe in God — this is the natural result. They use irony to mask their very deep-seated insecurity over their own impending demise. And to be clear, there’s no age limit, or age requirement, on this kind of thinking. Here’s the Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chair in Crawford County: Screenshot: Instagram/therealstateofamerica Credit: Screenshot: Instagram/therealstateofamerica She’s holding a sign calling for Donald Trump to be “86’d,” as in, assassinated. Again, it’s all very flippant. They’re smiling. And why wouldn’t they be? They don’t think anyone’s going to do anything about it. In fact, they know it’ll make them even more popular in the Democrat Party. The Daily Signal spoke to a woman at yesterday’s protests who voiced similar sentiments. She repeated a bunch of lies about Charlie Kirk, compared him to Hitler, and said she was grateful he’s dead. And in the same breath, she said she’s a very nice lady. Watch: NO KINGS PROTESTER: Charlie Kirk Is a ‘Piece of Garbage,’ ‘I’m Glad Hitler Is Dead’ “Everybody,” including illegal aliens, deserves health care.

That’s why there’s so much footage like this. They want you dead. They will dance on your grave. And as they do so, they will tell themselves that they’re very kind people, really. They’ll claim that, by blowing your head off, they’re being compassionate. And they’ll inevitably invoke Hitler — not because they understand history, or care about factual accuracy, but because it makes them feel like they’re a vital part of an existential struggle. “I don’t know how anyone your age even thinks about having children,” says the older woman. After all, how could you have children, when climate change is going to destroy the world? How could you have children, when we have a “king” who’s going to enslave all the women? How could you have children when, instead, you could focus entirely on yourself? Rather than raise a family, you could save civilization from the neo-Nazis who lurk behind every corner! Like all deeply-held beliefs that are rooted in narcissism, these propositions fall apart the moment you think about them for a second. For example, in this clip, the woman says that everyone — including illegal aliens — deserves healthcare. (She also wants the government to forgive student loans, punish hate speech, et cetera). That’s her proposal, at this “No Kings” rally. But the only way to achieve any of these objectives is to massively expand the power of the Executive Branch, far beyond its current capabilities. They want to force doctors, at gunpoint, to provide services to people who can’t pay for it. In other words, they do, in fact, want a king. They just want a king who’s on their side. And just to underscore that point — not that it really needed to be underscored — here’s a post from the website of “Democrats Abroad,” which has been organizing “No Kings” protests overseas for the past six months. Screenshot: https://www.democratsabroad.org/ “A few notes: We’ve changed the ‘No Kings’ theme of other events around the world to ‘No Tyrants’, so as not to mix messages in a country with a monarchy. We’re also swapping out ‘NO CROWNS’ in favor of ‘NO CLOWNS.’ Come dressed as a Trump clown. Think bad blond wig, orange face, long red tie, or whatever gets your creative juices flowing.” Yes, after months of campaigning against a “King,” Leftists have realized that some of their favorite countries, like Canada and the UK, have a king. Meanwhile, the United States — which just voted Donald Trump into office with a majority of the popular vote and the support of every single swing state — does not have a king. And that’s obviously a bit inconvenient, for the whole “No Kings” messaging, which is intended to protest Donald Trump. So now they’ve called an audible, at least in some parts of the world. It’s enough to make you think these people may not be completely honest about their intentions. This footage has the same effect: NEW: Grown adult protesters dressed up as ‘LICE’ agents roll around on the U.S. Constitution at Seattle’s ‘No Kings’ protest. “ICE lice have invaded the Constitution at Seattle Center’s No Kings protest,” the Stranger Seattle posted. Clown show. pic.twitter.com/nIRRc292MA — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) October 19, 2025 Credit: @CollinRugg/X.com In Seattle, as you can see, Leftists dressed up as “LICE AGENTS” and rolled around in the dirt, on the Constitution. Get it? They’re LICE agents, instead of ICE agents. It’s reminiscent of the “No Kings” protests from a few months ago, when Leftists paid money to berate effigies of Donald Trump. This is now a well-established pattern of unhinged behavior. It’s not a one-off. So it’s incumbent on conservatives, at this point, to answer the following question: How should we respond, when our political opponents are openly deranged, immature, nihilistic, and most importantly, committed to murdering every single one of us? Here’s a thought. We shouldn’t respond by obsessing over naughty jokes in a Republican group chat. We shouldn’t spend weeks fighting amongst ourselves, when no one on the Left — under any circumstance — would do the same thing. Instead, we should recall what they did to Craig Robertson. We should think about the FBI SWAT team that shot up his house because he ranted about Joe Biden. And we should keep Craig Robertson in mind as we pursue the Leftists making threats today — not because they should suffer the same fate, but because they’re far, far greater threats to us, than Craig Robertson ever was to Joe Biden. And after the murder of Charlie Kirk, and the celebration of political violence that just took place all over the country under the guise of “No Kings” protests, we should treat them accordingly.

WASHINGTON—Congressman Chip Roy on Monday filed articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman, who sentenced Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s attempted assassin to only eight years in prison — significantly lower than what federal sentencing guidelines and prosecutors called for. Nicholas Roske, a 29-year-old trans-identifying man who now goes by Sophie, was sentenced October 3 for attempting to kill the Supreme Court justice in 2022. In an exclusive statement to The Daily Wire, Roy said Boardman “deserves to be impeached for her absurd eight-year-sentence.” “Our nation’s judicial system is structured to administer proper and equal treatment under the law; it is not a system where a member of the Judiciary is to allow their personal feelings or political ideology to influence their decision-making — oftentimes resulting in more criminals on the street,” the Texas Republican said. Roske faced up to life in prison under federal sentencing guidelines. Prosecutors asked for 30 years. Roy noted the assassin “went to great lengths to methodically plan for the attack by spending months researching the private residence of a sitting Supreme Court Justice and obtaining countless weapons and other instruments to fulfill his plot to kill.” Roske meticulously planned the assassination for months but had a change of heart outside the conservative justice’s home and called the police to turn himself in. Roy, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, said the judge “unequivocally based this weak sentence on the attempted assassin’s ‘gender identity,’ as the attempted assassin expressed that he views himself as a woman.” “Instead of doing what the Judiciary calls for and sentencing this man to the base 30-year sentence recommended by the Department of Justice, Judge Boardman purposefully allowed this man off easy,” Roy said. The Daily Wire previously reported Boardman, a Joe Biden appointee to Maryland federal court, acknowledged there was “a whopping 22-year difference” between that and the minimum of 30 years called for by federal sentencing guidelines. In a seven-hour sentencing hearing, Boardman focused heavily on Roske’s gender identity. “Let’s talk about the fact that Ms. Roske is a transgender woman … Should I take into consideration at all that Ms. Roske is transgender?” she asked prosecutors. “That should not be taken into account or play a large role in the court’s sentencing,” prosecutor Coreen Mao replied. Boardman said that because President Donald Trump had issued an executive order aimed at transgender prisoners, she would hand down a lighter sentence — even though parts of that executive order are not currently in place due to an injunction imposed by a different judge. “She will be imprisoned at a male facility even though she is a transgender prisoner, pursuant to an executive order from the president. Prior to the executive order, that wasn’t the case. With the injunction in place, Ms. Roske could receive gender-affirming care, but if that injunction goes away, she could be denied it. So when I sentence her, I take into account that she is a transgender woman who will be sent to a male facility,” Boardman said. Boardman also implied that a lack of acceptance of transgender people, including by Roske’s family, may have been partly to blame for the crime. Roske’s sister Olivia told the judge that years prior, Olivia had come out as gay to her family shortly after being discharged from a mental institution. Boardman said that Nicholas “saw that their parents struggled to reconcile her sexuality with their religious beliefs,” and that Roske’s mother “had not been open to her daughter’s gender identity.” In court, Roske’s mother, Colleen, told the judge that she had reformed her ways. “I have attended PFLAG [Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays] meetings and learned more about the LGBTQ+ community. I am committed to going on this journey with Sophie,” she said tearfully. Judge Boardman said she was “heartened” that the attempted assassination had led to increased acceptance of Roske’s transgenderism. “After her daughter’s arrest, Colleen discovered that her daughter was transgender. When she was cleaning out her room, she found hospital discharge paperwork that described her as Sophie. I am heartened that this terrible infraction has helped the Roske family get the help she needs and accept their daughter for who she is,” she said. Boardman acknowledged that Roske’s plot to kill Kavanaugh was explicitly so “he would be replaced by someone Biden picks so they wouldn’t repeal gay rights or abortion.” Roske’s defense attorneys acknowledged that the “terrorism enhancement” should apply, but Boardman chose to waive some of the increased penalty that it triggers, saying “Any prison time in punishment for her. The length doesn’t need to be particularly long to punish her, and the length isn’t the only factor — unduly harsh conditions make a difference too.” In Reddit posts, Roske described himself as a transgender woman who is attracted to women, not men; he appeared entirely male in court. Following the sentencing, Attorney General Pam Bondi said on X that the Justice Department would appeal the “woefully insufficient sentence.” Roy believes the judge violated her oath of office by not administering her sentencing “impartially” and by “not upholding the ‘good behavior’ that Judges must abide by.” “Judge Boardman should be impeached swiftly and without reservation,” Roy added. Republican Senators Ted Cruz (Texas) and Mike Lee (Utah) have called for Boardman’s impeachment. Shortly after the sentence, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) introduced a bill that would “Prevent judges from using perceived gender-identity as a factor when determining the length of a sentence,” and another that would prohibit housing transgender inmates with members of the opposite biological sex.

Police stopped a potential mass shooting on Monday when a 49-year-old man was arrested at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International after he allegedly threatened to “shoot up” the nation’s busiest airport before he drove there armed with a semiautomatic rifle. Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said at a press conference that a major tragedy was “averted.” The mayor said the suspect is from Cartersville, Georgia, and is “mentally challenged.” Cartersville is located just over 50 miles northwest of the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport International Airport. The suspect was identified as Billy Joe Cagle, a convicted felon, who said over a livestream video that he planned on shooting people at the airport, according to Atlanta Police Department Chief Darin Schierbaum. After family members saw Cagle’s video, they notified the Cartersville Police Department, which then notified the Atlanta Police Department. Cagle’s family also warned police that he was in possession of a firearm. Just 14 minutes after Atlanta Police were notified of the threat, Cagle was arrested in the airport. Police also found a semiautomatic rifle in the his vehicle, which was parked outside. Airport security footage released by police at the press conference showed Cagle arriving at the airport at 9:29 a.m. and parking his Chevy flatbed pickup truck next to a terminal entrance. The suspect then entered the south domestic terminal, but was not armed when he walked into the airport. “From video we will show you, he seemed to be very interested in the TSA check-in area, which you can see was heavily, heavily crowded with travelers,” Schierbaum said. The security footage showed Cagle walking around the TSA check-in area with his phone in hand. Bodycam footage also released at the press conference show Atlanta Police Department officers confronting Cagle before taking him down to the ground and placing handcuffs on him. Schierbaum said that officers had to use two handcuffs to detain Cagle because of his size, adding that the suspect is 6’3 and 320 pounds. Cagle was taken into custody at 9:54 a.m., less than 30 minutes after he arrived at the airport. Join us now during our exclusive Deal of the Decade. Get everything for $7 a month. Not as fans.

When authorities searched the suspect’s truck, they found a Springfield 5.56 Saint Victor AR-15 rifle with 27 rounds of ammunition. “We did have a tragedy averted today,” the police chief said, adding that if the police officers had not stopped him at that time, he believes the suspect was planning on retrieving the rifle from his pickup truck and firing upon people in the crowded terminal. “We’re here today briefing you on a success and not a tragedy because a family saw something and said something,” Schierbaum said. Cagle faces charges of making terroristic threats, criminal attempt to commit aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a felon. The FBI is assisting local authorities as the investigation continues.

Amazon Web Services experienced a massive outage Monday, sending shockwaves across the globe as dozens of popular websites experienced issues. Shortly after midnight Monday, AWS issued a notice announcing latencies and error rates affecting multiple Amazon Web Services. Reports estimate around 10,000 affected users. Although most individuals do not use Amazon Web Services directly, many popular apps and websites depend on Amazon’s cloud technology. Companies like Netflix, Snapchat, Facebook, Capital One and more use AWS to power their organization’s infrastructure as well as government agencies like NASA. The outage disrupted one of AWS’s largest data center hubs, which houses systems that authenticate users and keep websites loading. As a result, companies are dealing with reports of users not being able to load their website or be authenticated, locking them out of services. AWS believes the root cause of the issue is a down subsystem that monitors load balance. When the monitoring system is impacted, the network load balancer health checks have problems resulting in increased errors and latencies. “Our mitigations to resolve launch failures continue to progress and we are seeing increased launches and decreasing networking connectivity issues in the US-EAST-1 region,” AWS said. AWS reported 29 service interruptions this year. Billionaire Elon Musk weighed in on the outage on X, using the outage to encourage people to switch to X chat. The messages are fully encrypted with no advertising hooks or strange “AWS dependencies” such that I can’t read your messages even if someone put a gun to my head. You can also do file transfers and audio/video calls. https://t.co/l0GIIZYz6y — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 20, 2025 “The messages are fully encrypted with no advertising hooks or strange ‘AWS dependencies’ such that I can’t read your messages even if someone put a gun to my head.” Musk’s post seems to be a reference to the encrypted messaging app Signal, which was affected by the outage.

The Trump administration has set its sights on San Francisco as part of its crackdown on crime and illegal immigrants shielded by the city’s sanctuary laws. San Francisco will be added to a growing list of cities where the Trump administration is sending Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in an effort to get illegal immigrant criminals off the streets, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced during a press conference Monday in Sarasota, Florida. “We continue to have targeted operations in many, many cities, but also very focused on those where challenges are still remaining, such as Portland, Chicago, we’re in Memphis as well, we’re going to San Francisco at the direction of the president as well,” Noem said. “We’re going to continue to make sure we’re focused not just on those cities that we hear about on the news, but also in cities like Sarasota, that we make sure that law enforcement officers in every single community get the chance to continue to get these criminals off of their streets,” she added.

He’s already attempted to send soldiers to both Portland and Chicago, which have become hotbeds for anti-ICE riots, but the deployments have been held up over ongoing lawsuits. Over the summer, Trump deployed the National Guard and the Marines to Los Angeles to quell anti-ICE attacks, where rioters hurled concrete blocks at federal agents, set cars ablaze, and blocked major highways. “San Francisco was truly one of the great cities of the world, and then 15 years ago it went wrong, it went woke,” Trump said during an interview with Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo Sunday. “We’re going to San Francisco and we’re going to make it great,” said Trump. California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom responded to Trump on X Sunday, saying “Nobody wants you here. You will ruin one of America’s greatest cities.” Fact check: Nobody wants you here. You will ruin one of America’s greatest cities. https://t.co/bdMoAhFmMS — Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) October 19, 2025 San Francisco became a sanctuary city in 1989 with the passage of the “City and County of Refuge” Ordinance, which bars local police from handing illegal immigrant criminals over to ICE.

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) attempted to tie President Abraham Lincoln — America’s first Republican president — to Democratic socialism based on one line from his famed Gettysburg Address. Sanders joined the hosts of ABC’s midday talk show “The View,” where the cohosts pressed him on everything from the ongoing government shutdown to his recent campaign stops with New York City’s Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, a self-described Democratic Socialist. Cohost Sara Haines asked about the shutdown, and Sanders brushed off the idea of a standalone vote on Affordable Care Act subsidies — one of the main sticking points for Democrats as the shutdown drags on — despite a promise from Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to hold such a vote. Sanders claimed that he wanted to end the shutdown “tomorrow,” but that he couldn’t vote to reopen the government as long as Republicans refused to undo the parts of the Big Beautiful Bill that he didn’t like. “50,000 people will die unnecessarily every single year,” Sanders insisted, waving his hands to punctuate his point. “50,000 of our fellow Americans.” He then claimed that Trump and Republicans were taking away health insurance from the poor in order to “pay for” a tax break for the wealthy.

People are saying here’s a radical idea,” Sanders said. “This is what Democratic Socialism basically means: let’s have a government that works for all the people, not just the billionaire class. Let’s end a corrupt campaign finance system that allows billionaires in both political parties to determine who wins elections.” Sanders concluded by suggesting that Lincoln was actually talking about the same goal when he gave the Gettysburg Address: “Let’s try to create the kind of democracy that Lincoln talked about way back when, when he said ‘a government of the people, by the people, for the people.'”

A suspicious hunting stand with a direct line of sight to President Trump’s Air Force One exit point was discovered at Palm Beach International Airport, triggering an FBI investigation into what could have been another assassination attempt against our commander-in-chief. Secret Service Discovers Strategic Threat Position Secret Service agents found the elevated hunting stand on Thursday, October 16, 2025, during advance security preparations before President Trump’s return to West Palm Beach. The structure was positioned within direct sight line of the Air Force One landing zone at Palm Beach International Airport, creating a potential sniper’s nest overlooking the president’s arrival and departure point. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the bureau immediately assumed investigatory lead, deploying specialized forensic collection teams and cell phone analytics capabilities to the scene. “Hunting Stand” – for all the Whitetail on Southern BLVD, located directly across the street from Palm Beach International Airport, in the median of a major highway… directly facing the Air Force One stairs (200yds). Ps the Secret Service did a GREAT job finding this… pic.twitter.com/WiVVKbt7XH — Eric Trump (@EricTrump) October 19, 2025 Months-Long Positioning Raises Surveillance Concerns Law enforcement sources revealed the hunting stand appeared to have been established months prior to its discovery, suggesting either long-term pre-positioning for an attack or extended surveillance of presidential movements. This timeline is particularly alarming given Trump’s predictable travel patterns between Washington D.C. and Mar-a-Lago, which create opportunities for adversaries to conduct reconnaissance and identify vulnerabilities. The extended placement indicates sophisticated planning that goes beyond impulsive threats, resembling the methodical approach seen in other assassination attempts against conservative leaders. Pattern of Escalating Threats Against Trump This discovery occurs within weeks of Ryan Routh’s conviction for attempting to assassinate Trump from a sniper’s nest positioned in bushes along a fence line at a Palm Beach golf course. Combined with Trump’s survival of a separate assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he was shot in the ear, this incident establishes a disturbing pattern of credible threats in the Palm Beach region. The clustering of security incidents suggests either coordinated threat activity or the area’s characteristics making it attractive for potential attackers targeting our president. BREAKING: FBI has dismantled a hunting stand with a direct line of sight to President Trump’s Air Force One in Palm Beach — now being analyzed in an FBI lab to track down who set it up. Dan Bongino: “This is a zero-fail mission. You can’t have a mistake.” Keep 47 must… pic.twitter.com/oYQw1pQG8y — Stephen Gardner (@StephenGardnerX) October 20, 2025 Enhanced Security Protocols Protect Presidential Operations Despite the concerning discovery, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi confirmed there was no impact to presidential movements, and Trump was photographed boarding Air Force One on October 19, 2025, departing after spending the weekend at Mar-a-Lago. The proactive discovery during routine advance security sweeps demonstrates the Secret Service’s vigilant protection protocols functioning as designed. However, this incident highlights the ongoing vulnerabilities in securing a president who maintains an active private residence at a commercial facility, requiring enhanced security measures that protect both Trump’s safety and his constitutional duties as our elected leader.
