'Ready for civil war': Cops find conspiracist's car packed with pipe bombs

A central Illinois man was arrested after officers found two pipe bombs and a pistol under his seat during a traffic stop.

A Pekin police officer pulled over a car on May 17 for a traffic violation and spotted a canvas bag locked with a padlock under the passenger seat where Dalton Mattus was sitting. Police found a 45 caliber pistol and two homemade pipe bombs rigged with BBs after obtaining a warrant to search the bag, reported Rolling Stone.

The 34-year-old Mattus had refused to let police search the bag without a warrant, but they seized it and let him go before obtaining the warrant and opened the bag at city hall, which was evacuated once they saw the improvised explosive devices.

Police went to Mattus' home, where they engaged in a brief standoff with him before he was arrested and charged with being a felon in possession of a weapon. Officers said they found three more pipe bombs there.

A local radio station reported that Mattus told police he made the bombs as protection from “undocumented immigrants and a corrupt government,” and Rolling Stone and American Doom analyzed more than 200 of his social media posts dating back to 2016. They found he had been drawn to far-right conspiracy theories starting around June 2020.

“To everybody that is disgusted with the way our government is being ran,” Mattus said in an April 2023 TikTok video. “There needs to be, like, a call to arms. Something needs to happen — now.”

Mattus was interested in conspiracy theories involving QAnon, election lies and sweeping anti-government conspiracies, and he repeatedly shared his willingness to engage in civil war. In March 2023 he changed his profile picture to an upside-down American flag — like the one U.S. Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito flew outside his home days after the Jan. 6 insurrection.

“I am completely disgusted that people voted for Joe Biden to be the president,” Mattus wrote on Facebook shortly after the 2020 election. “I am f---ing irate this is complete and utter bulls--t I’m ready for the f--ing Civil War."

Mattus is a welder by trade and has a felony and misdemeanor convictions for theft, criminal trespass, domestic battery and damage to property, and has been the subject of a restraining order, and he complained online about having his children taken away by family with the help of child protective services.

“Now my children are pumped full of vaccines that they didn’t even need and for what reason but the (sic) poison them,” Mattus wrote on Facebook in December 2023. “I was a monster before my children were born and now that I don’t get to see them anymore you will see the f---ing devil.”

Police said Mattus would likely face additional charges related to the explosive devices, and he remains in jail with a court hearing scheduled for June 20.

Livestream Abruptly Ends As Laura Loomer Calls For Democrats to be Executed
Jennifer Bowers BahneyJun 1st, 2024, 11:30 am


A broadcast by right-wing podcaster Tim Pool was cut short when guest Laura Loomer, an outspoken white nationalist and conspiracy theorist, called for Democrats to be executed.

On a recent Timcast IRL YouTube stream, Pool reacted to the 34 guilty verdicts against former President Donald Trump.


“I’ll put it this way: should Democrats be in jail? No question. When Donald Trump gets elected, should he start locking them up? No question. Should there be lists of Democrats who need to go to jail? One hundred percent,” Pool said, continuing:

POOL: The reason for that is, they’ve committed crimes. We need to make sure that when Donald Trump wins, we’ve got an attorney general, a deputy attorney general, a head of the CIA and the FBI. Kash Patel would be fantastic. We can have, for attorney general, there’s some names floating around. And, then they can start having their investigators and the feds issuing subpoenas, pulling up evidence, and with real evidence, bring them to judges for warrants. Then these people can spend three years of their lives fighting tooth and nail against the government for crimes they committed and we can prove. And the reason why we put them on trial is, we can show the whole world we will uncover what you’ve done, we will make sure everybody knows, and you will be held accountable for it.

LOOMER: Not just jail, they should get the death penalty. You know, we actually used to have, the punishment for treason in this country —

And with that, the show came to an abrupt end.

Trump accused of 'making a threat' against Merrick Garland in latest Fox interview

David McAfee
June 7, 2024 11:51PM ET




Fox News screen grab




Donald Trump Friday was accused of making a threat against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in a Fox News interview.

In the interview with Trump, the conservative network asks the former president what he thinks of Garland. Garland was first chosen by then-President Barack Obama to be a Supreme Court justice, but was made A.G. by President Joe Biden after Republicans tanked his judicial nomination during the election.

"What do you say about Merrick Garland?" the host asked.

"I'm disappointed in him," Trump said, adding that Garland is known as being "very liberal."

"But I always looked upon him as being a very legitimate person," Trump then added. "And I'm very disappointed that he's allowed this all to happen. A raid of Mar-a-Lago. They could have had whatever they wanted!"

Responding to that clip, former prosecutor Ron Filipkowski said, "Make no mistake, this is a threat."

Dem strategist Adam Parkhomenko echoed those comments.

"Trump pretends he would’ve supported Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court while, as [Filipkowski] points out, making a threat," he wrote on Friday.

@ErubeyJoshua commented, "He thinks he’s Tony Soprano."

'Break their necks at the end of a rope': Alex Jones threatens people who 'lied to Trump'

Alex Jones (InfoWars/screen grab)




Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones said he wanted to "pull the switch" to execute Dr. Anthony Fauci and other people who "lied" to Donald Trump.

During a rant on his Tuesday broadcast, Jones initially said Trump's foes should be imprisoned instead of being executed.

"It needs to be dealt with," he explained. "The criminal gang leaders, the big heads of the central banks, Pfizer head, Fauci, all of them that lied to Trump, we know, created the disinfo, already had the vaccine ready years before they released the virus."

"They all need to go to prison for the rest of their lives," he continued. "It sounds sexy to say they need to be executed... You don't turn them into martyrs. You don't execute them."

Jones, however, fantasized about possible executions.

"It is the right thing to do that they be executed," he insisted. "And if the juries decide to hang them, I'm not a wimp. I will volunteer. I think it should be public. I will pull the lever."

"If they're convicted by a jury of treason, I would personally on national TV be there and pull the switch to break their necks at the end of a rope," Jones concluded.

Jailed J6 defendant forming an armed militia to quell 'civil unrest' at the polls: report

An accused January 6 insurrectionist is forming an armed militia, which he plans to use to combat "civil unrest" around the 2024 presidential election.

According to Wired, Edward “Jake” Lang, who has currently been held for over 1,200 days awaiting trial for allegedly attacking police officers with a baseball bat during the storming of the U.S. Capitol, has been using encrypted Telegram channels to amass a following.

"Lang claims that the Telegram groups already have 20,000 members, including pastors, farmers, former military personnel, and currently serving sheriffs," wrote David Gilbert — although experts who have examined his channels believe it's barely more than one-tenth that many. "But a group this size, they warn, is still large enough to cause a serious threat. And while unarmed members are welcome, the group is, at its core, a pro-gun organization. 'We are pro open carry, pro always have it on you, rather than waiting for somebody else to be able to defend your life,' says Lang."

Lang's group is known as the North American Patriot and Liberty Militia, or "Napalm."

"As the 2024 US election approaches, Lang says that Napalm will be focusing on potential 'civil unrest' around the vote," the report continued.

"We have to make sure that we're prepared for any real-time scenarios, any eventualities," Lang recently said, according to Wired. "Civil unrest at any given moment, especially around an election time, is something that could come along, and so we have to plan for that contingency as well."

Lang, who also tried to rally support during a Newsmax interview before the network had to cut his feed, is one of several high-profile defendants whose trial stands to be affected by an upcoming Supreme Court decision in Fischer v. United States, which will decide whether January 6 defendants can be charged with obstruction of an official proceeding. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee overseeing Lang's case, has previously ruled obstruction should be dismissed from Lang's indictment, because the statute was not intended to apply to the specific situation of rioting at the Capitol. Even if the Supreme Court agrees, Lang is charged with seven other offenses, including assaulting police with a dangerous weapon.

The Supreme Court case also potentially impacts former President Donald Trump himself, whose D.C. indictment by special counsel Jack Smith includes obstruction charges.

Man hoped to incite pre-election race war with mass shooting at Atlanta rap concert: FBI

An Arizona man plotted a mass shooting at a rap concert more than 1,600 miles away in hopes of inciting a race war ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

An FBI source tipped off authorities to the plan last October after running into Mark Adams Prieto at gun shows since 2020, and once they got around to discussing politics the individual became alarmed by his comments about massacring Black people, Jews and Muslims, reported WSB-TV.

“Prieto believes that martial law will be implemented shortly after the 2024 election and that a mass shooting should occur prior to the implementation of martial law,” FBI agents said in an affidavit, adding that he asked the source if they were “ready to kill a bunch of people.”

Investigators learned Prieto worked as a gun show vendor in Prescott, where he sold firearms from his personal collection and, according to the source, conducted "off-book" trades to avoid scrutiny from law enforcement, and undercover agents met with him in mid-January.

He "only made small talk" on the first day of the Crossroads of the West gun show but opened up when the undercover agents returned the next day and divulged his plan for a mass shooting at an unspecified rap concert and told them why he was targeting the city, according to investigators.

"The reason I say Atlanta, why?" Prieto said, according to court documents. "Why is Georgia such a [expletive]-up state now? When I was a kid that was one of the most conservative states in the country. Why is it not now? Because as the crime got worse in L.A., St. Louis, and all these other cities, all the [expletives] moved out of those [places] and moved to Atlanta. That’s why it isn’t so great anymore, and they’ve been there for a couple, several years.”

Prieto intended to leave Confederate flags at the shooting scene send a message “that we’re going to fight back now, and every whitey will be the enemy across the whole country,” according to the affidavit, and he told the confidential source and undercover agents he would show "no mercy" because he did not believe Black people "have any feeling."

"They’re not people," he allegedly said. "They’re monsters, as far as I’m concerned.”

While under surveillance in February, agents watched Prieto go into a gun show in Phoenix with two rifles and immediately ask the confidential source if they were still planning to participate in the attack with the undercover agent, investigators said.

He made clear on multiple occasions his attack was racially motivated and intended to shout "KKK all the way" to make clear the shooting was not "gang-related."

Prieto allegedly sold a gun to the undercover agent in February for $2,000, and the following month he told undercover agents that the attack must be carried out before martial law was imposed following the election.

He intended to carry out the massacre at a Bad Bunny concert at State Farm Arena on May 14 and May 15, but he later decided to push the attack until sometime in June, but he was stopped last month by law enforcement in New Mexico while traveling to visit his mother in Florida.

"Prieto was in possession of seven firearms and was taken into federal custody," the Department of Justice said in a statement. "Law enforcement then executed a search warrant at his home in Prescott. Law enforcement found more firearms in his residence, including an unregistered short-barreled rifle."

He was indicted on charges for firearms trafficking, transfer of a firearm for use in a hate crime and possession of an unregistered firearm, and, if convicted, he faces decades in prison.

Modern-day outlaw 'sovereign citizens' threaten the rule of law

The Conversation
June 18, 2024 9:00AM ET

In May 2024, an Oklahoma man was arrested and charged with kidnapping and murdering two women, becoming the fifth member of an anti-government group called “God’s Misfits” to face such charges.

With the investigation still underway, details about God’s Misfits remain scarce. The group’s members may be part of the so-called “sovereign citizen” movement – people who believe they owe no allegiance to any government and are not required to obey laws.

My research into sovereign citizens has found they have long been active in the U.S. and other countries. At the core of their beliefs is the denial of the government’s legitimacy. They commonly do not register their vehicles, acquire driver’s licenses or car insurance, or pay taxes. And they pose a significant threat to the public.

Harassment and abuse
One threat they pose is “paper terrorism,” which involves harassing public officials with legal threats to intimidate them. Sometimes officials are targeted because they arrested or prosecuted someone from the movement.

This method involves filing fake deeds and liens against public officials the sovereign citizens think wronged them. County recorders are sounding the alarm.

This type of act – a form of fraud that can be illegal – is rare nationwide but common in some places, local and federal officials have said.

For instance, in 2023, a New Mexico man allegedly filed a US$20 million lien against property owned by federal employees he believed were connected with the termination of his Social Security benefits. All told, he has allegedly filed $1 billion in false liens against federal employees.

Federal prosecutors have charged him with retaliating against a federal employee by making a false claim. Court documents identify the man as a sovereign citizen who describes himself as a “private attorney general.” He is awaiting trial.

More violent threats
The FBI considers sovereign citizens a domestic terrorism threat.

In April 2024, a Utah man was charged in federal court with stalking after allegedly telling staff at the Salt Lake County Recorder’s Office that they had committed treason and the penalty was death.

Court documents show that the man has identified himself as a “sovereign citizen” and made quasi-legal claims that prosecutors characterize as arguments commonly used by sovereign citizens – claims that were dismissed by a judge as “frivolous and without merit.” Trial is set to begin July 1, 2024.

Killings
Sovereign citizens have killed police officers and civilians. Darrell Brooks, who represented himself in court as a sovereign citizen, was found guilty in October 2022 of killing six people when he drove an SUV through a Christmas parade.

Dejaune Anderson, a self-declared sovereign citizen, is accused of neglecting her 5-year-old son so badly that he died of dehydration. Her trial is pending.

Traffic stops can be especially dangerous for police because sovereign citizens often will not comply with officers’ basic commands. At times, this tendency can lead to violence.

In April 2024, two police officers in Florida investigated a report of a man in a vehicle in a public park after the park’s closing time. The person identified himself as a “Moorish sovereign citizen,” a type of sovereign citizen who claims that people of African American descent are not subject to U.S. law because of a 1787 treaty between the U.S. and Morocco, which says nothing of the sort.

During the confrontation that ensued, the man allegedly shot and wounded the officers before being killed by police.

A new subgroup
Over the past several years, a new variation of sovereign citizens has emerged, known as American State Nationals. In my research, I learned that they have been congregating on social media and gathering at seminars. Their leaders teach traditional sovereign citizen ideology along with new methods that supposedly let them live outside the law.

For instance, leaders teach their followers that driver’s licenses, marriage licenses, Social Security cards, car registrations and voter registrations are “contracts with the government,” which to them form the basis for requirements that they obey laws.

American State Nationals are urged to cancel or rescind these documents by filling out a set of forms, which are sold by the seminar leaders for about $250, in addition to the $150 seminar fee. Then they are told to submit the documents to county recorders and even the U.S. State Department. They are told that doing so will remove them from the reach of the U.S. government.

Paul Grice, the fifth member of God’s Misfits to be arrested in that Oklahoma kidnapping and murder case, reportedly sent his packet of paperwork by certified mail to Antony Blinken, the U.S. secretary of state.

Perhaps paradoxically, American State Nationals are also told to acquire a federal document that group members call a “noncitizen national passport.” They believe this document gives them many special privileges, including no longer being a U.S. citizen and having immunity from U.S. laws. They believe this even though U.S. law applies to everyone within the borders of the U.S.

In reality, this document does none of what they think it does. The document, officially called a “Certificate of Non Citizen Nationality,” is really for use by people born in one of several U.S. possessions, such as American Samoa. Directly contrary to what sovereign citizens think, the document certifies that its bearer does “owe permanent allegiance to the United States.”

Sovereign citizens’ beliefs have yet to hold up in any court of law in the U.S. or overseas. As an Australian law school lecturer said of a case involving a sovereign citizen in Australia, “No court in Australia, no court in the U.S., Canada, anywhere that I’ve seen, has ever accepted the legal arguments raised by sovereign citizens.”

Texas man sentenced for swarming Maxine Waters with death threats

A Texan has been sentenced to federal prison for making vile phone threats to California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters' office.

On Monday, Brian Gaherty, 61, was ordered to pay a $10,000 fine and be sent away for a 33 month term, federal prosecutors said in a statement.

“Threats to harm or kill elected officials are anathema to our nation’s values and must not – and will not – be tolerated,” said federal prosecutor Martin Estrada.

The feds counted four voicemails left at Waters’ Hawthorne office — each laced with "profanity, and racist and misogynistic language," federal prosecutors said.

Gaherty pleaded guilty Jan. 29, in downtown Los Angeles to a felony count of threatening a United States official. It was months after his summer arrest. Waters' office reported the calls to U.S. Capitol Police.

The agents used the phone number to determine that Gaherty was in Houston, Texas.

During their investigation, they found that Gaherty had "a history of sending racist, violent threats to other congresswomen.”

In August 2022, an investigation into Gaherty threatened to “put a cap” between the congresswoman’s eyes,” “cut [her] throat,” and “stomp” her.

He further warned that she “better move” because he and his “boys in the area” had a “contract” on her life.

Authorities unsuccessfully tried to intervene in October 2022 and compel Gaherty to quit the harassment. Weeks later he left more violent threats.

In November 2022, Gaherty placed two more voicemails to Waters telling her that she “done [expletive] up” by informing law enforcement about his threats and added, “This ain’t no threat. It’s a …promise.”

He also warned Waters he would confront her “on the street” and “get in [her] face,” and again told her that he and his “crowd” had a contract to “take [her]… out.”

Lastly, he informed her in another final message: “You better watch your back.”

On Monday, U.S. District Judge Gary Klausner concluded that Gaherty targeted his attacks against Waters based on race and considered it a hate-crime enhancement to grow Gaherty’s sentence.

Be looking over your shoulder': Trump supporter admits phoning threats to Fani Willis

An Alabama man reportedly pleaded guilty to sending threatening phone calls to Fulton County, Georgia, prosecutor Fani Willis over her prosecution of former President Donald Trump.

Arthur Ray Hanson II, a 58-year-old insurance salesman from Huntsville, told federal magistrate judge Regina Cannon, “I made a stupid phone call. I’m not a violent person," reported Ashley Quincin for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

He went on to say: "I didn’t knowingly know I was threatening anybody" and realized what he'd done when FBI agents showed up at his house. He said he acted out of anger in the moment, and “I’m not a law breaker. I just lost it.”

He will face sentencing at a later hearing.

The threats Hanson left on voicemails were first reported in October.

“I would be very afraid if I were you because you can’t be around people all the time that are going to protect you; there’s going to be moments when you’re going to be vulnerable,” said Hanson in his message to Willis. “When you charge Trump on that fourth indictment, anytime you’re alone, be looking over your shoulder.”

ALSO READ: EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans subpoena ex-Capitol Police intel head for Jan. 6 inquiry

Hanson also left a threatening message to Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat, who arrested and processed Trump and his co-defendants in the case: “If you think you gonna take a mugshot of my President Donald Trump and it’s gonna be ok, you gonna find out that after you take that mugshot, some bad (expletive)’s probably gonna happen to you ... I’m warning you right now before you (expletive) up your life and get hurt real bad.”

Trump, along with several of his legal advisers and local GOP strategists in Georgia, were charged with running a racketeering scheme to prevent certification of the election. That case is currently on hold and unlikely to go to trial before the November election, as an appeals court is reviewing the decision by lower court judge Scott McAfee to allow Willis to continue prosecuting the case amid ethics complaints over her romantic involvement with former special prosecutor Nathan Wade.

So cringe': Comedy of errors dogs jailed rioter as he tries to launch Trump militia

Jake Lang, a man who is in prison after being arrested for his role in the January 6th riots at the United States Capitol building, tells Rolling Stone that he is on a divine mission in the name of helping former President Donald Trump retake the White House.

While speaking to the magazine from prison, Lang said that "God put into my heart to get the ball rolling" by starting a militia in the name of the former president.

However, Rolling Stone's reporting raises some questions about whether the North American Patriot and Liberty Militia, or NAPALM USA, will be ready for prime time if it has to take to the streets to put Trump back into the White House by force if necessary.

"As a paramilitary force, Lang’s militia may be more intimidating in high concept than in physical reality. Its launch has been dogged by inflated membership rolls; supposed group leaders saying they have nothing to do with the militia; a canceled Instagram account; and by a militia name so cringe that it has already been discarded," the publication writes.

ALSO READ: The shocking truth behind the GOP's MAGA lie machine

Rolling Stone reached out to Jon Lewis, a research fellow at the Program on Extremism at George Washington University, who dismissed the idea that Lang could in the near future form a militia truly capable of wielding mass violence on Trump's behalf.

"I think Jake is a grifter who’s trying to appeal to the absolute lowest common denominator,” Lewis said. “This is the guy who has somehow stayed relevant by claiming he’s like the OG political prisoner.”

According to federal prosecutors, Lang not only assaulted police on January 6th, but also vowed to become even more violent in the future after the assault on the Capitol failed to block the certification of President Joe Biden's election.

Specifically, Lang said after the riots that the next time he and his fellow Trump supporters would use "guns" on the grounds that "the First Amendment didn't work, we pull out the Second."

Trump prosecutor Alvin Bragg target of death threats and racial slurs: report

Daniel Hampton
June 20, 2024 10:19PM ET




Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has already secured the conviction of the Trump Organization in a separate case




Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has been the target of death threats and racist messages since former President Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts earlier this month in his hush money case.

That's according to a new report published Thursday in the New York Daily News, which said it obtained more than 100 abusive messages aimed at Bragg via his campaign website. The messages contained racial epithets such as the n-word and racist slurs such as “Savage […] primate, F---ing […] rapist” and “GORILLA," the report said.

The racist vitriol was sent through a signup form and have been forwarded to Bragg's security team, according to the report, which cited a source who wanted to remain anonymous.

A photo of a noose was also reportedly mailed to Bragg’s campaign mailbox with a cutout of his head beside it.

“I am past the point of just wanting them in prison,” the photo was captioned.

Bragg gained the ire of many on the right due to his prosecution of MAGA leader Trump. Bragg declared that the jurors "have spoken" when they rendered a unanimous guilty verdict of all 34 counts of falsifying business records against Trump, and his team has opposed the lifting of a gag order against the former president even after the case's conclusion.

"Defendant's letter asserts that the stated bases for the Court's Orders no longer exist 'because the trial has concluded,'" prosecutors for the district attorney's office wrote. "The Court's Orders, however, were based not only on the need to avoid threats to the fairness of the trial itself... but also on the Court's broader 'obligation to prevent actual harm to the integrity of the proceedings'; to protect 'the orderly administration of this Court'; and to avoid 'risk to the administration of justice.'"

"[T]hese interests have not abated, and the Court has an obligation to protect the integrity of these proceedings and the fair administration of justice at least through the sentencing hearing and the resolution of any post-trial," the letter to Merchan added.

A woman is accused of attempting to drown a 3-year-old Muslim child in possible hate crime incident

Euless Police Department
A woman in Texas has been charged with attempted capital murder and injury to a child after trying to drown a 3-year-old child at an apartment complex pool and making racist statements, according to police.

The Texas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations identified the family as Muslim and Palestinian and called on state and federal law enforcement authorities to investigate the incident “as a hate crime and take all precautions to keep the Muslim family and the Muslim community safe,” the organization said in a news release Friday.

On May 19, Euless Police Department officers responded to a call at an apartment complex pool regarding a disturbance between two women. Witnesses told officers “a woman who was very intoxicated had tried to drown a child and argued with the child’s mother,” police said in a news release.


The woman, identified as Elizabeth Wolf, 42, was approached by officers as she tried to leave and placed under arrest for public intoxication.

The victim’s mother told police Wolf was questioning where she was from and if the two children playing at the pool were hers, the release said. The mother was visibly Muslim and wore a hijab, or Islamic headscarf, and modest swimwear, according to the council.

Wolf also made statements about the mother not being an American and made other racist statements, according to police.

“When the mother answered her, she stated that Wolf tried to grab her 6-year-old son but he pulled away from her grasp, which caused a scratch on his finger. The mother began helping her son when Wolf grabbed her 3-year-old daughter and forced her underwater,” the news release said.

The mother was able to pull her daughter from the water but she “had been yelling for help and was coughing up water.”

Both children were medically cleared by the Euless Medics, according to the release.

“We are American citizens, originally from Palestine, and I don’t know where to go to feel safe with my kids,” the council quoted the mother, identified only as Mrs. H, as saying. “My country is facing a war, and we are facing that hate here. My daughter is traumatized; whenever I open the apartment door, she runs away and hides, telling me she is afraid the lady will come and immerse her head in the water again.”

The Euless Police Department confirmed to CNN Wolf posted bail out of Tarrant County Jail.

“The bond for the Attempted Capital Murder charge was $25,000. The bond for the Injury to a Child charge was $15,000,” Captain Brenda Alvarado told CNN.

It is unclear if Wolf has an attorney.

“We ask for a hate-crime probe, a higher bail bond, and an open conversation with officials to address this alarming increase in Islamophobia, anti-Arab, and anti-Palestinian sentiment,” Shaimaa Zayan, the council’s Austin operations manager, said in a statement.

Texas Rep. Salman Bhojani said he is “shocked and appalled by this alleged racist, Islamophobic occurrence that took place in my town,” according to the news release. “Hate has no place in Euless, District 92, or anywhere in our great state. I want to thank Euless PD for quickly apprehending the alleged provocateur, and I extend my service to the affected family.”

Only one arrest was made, and you can bet your ass that Gascon, the Soros funded DA will drop the charges.

What liberals can't silence with censorship they'll control with violence.

And fuck the law, fuck the constitution, they believe their mission is just.

In a video shared widely on Monday, a Republican official in Arizona with deep ties to the MAGA movement said she would “lynch” Maricopa County’s Republican recorder if he were there.

Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer shared a video of Maricopa County Republican Party official Shelby Busch speaking at a recent GOP event and garnering laughs after saying she would lynch him if he were in the room with her.

“If Stephen Richer were in this room, I would lynch him," Busch said. "I don’t unify with people who don’t believe in the principles we believe in and the American cause that founded this country.”


In her comments, Busch claimed she would tolerate only “a good, Christian man that believes what we believe.” Richer is Jewish.

“This isn’t healthy. And it’s not responsible. And we shouldn’t want it as part of the Republican Party,” Richer said in a tweet that acknowledged Busch’s prominent role as a conservative activist.
