Excerpt:

A woman has been arrested in Florida for violently attacking a 72-year-old man in the street because he supports President Donald Trump.

33-year-old Laura Garrett was arrested by the Largo Police Department on Tuesday.

The department released Garrett’s mugshot, showing a woman with blue hair wearing an orange jumpsuit.

She is accused of attacking the man, whom she did not know, at Northeast Park and Paw Place, located at 4630 East Bay Drive in Largo.

Garrett reportedly confronted the unidentified victim because he was wearing a “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) hat.

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by FOX 13 Tampa Bay, Garrett then proceeded to demand that the man explain why he supports Trump.

When the victim refused to explain himself, Garrett allegedly physically assaulted him.

During the confrontation, Garrett poured a drink from a can she was holding on the victim’s head and hit him on the back of his head and shoulder area with it, the arrest report said.

During a briefing from the Oval Office this week, President Donald Trump revealed his administration’s plan for “Golden Dome”—an ambitious high-tech system meant to shield the U.S. from ballistic, cruise and hypersonic missile attacks launched by foreign adversaries. Flanked by senior officials, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and the project’s newly selected leader, Gen. Michael Guetlein of the U.S. Space Force, Trump announced that Golden Dome will be completed within three years at a cost of $175 billion.

The program, which was among Trump’s campaign promises, derives its name from the Iron Dome missile defense system of Israel—a nation that’s geographically 400 times smaller than the U.S. Protecting the vastness of the U.S. demands very different capabilities than those of Iron Dome, which has successfully shot down rockets and missiles using ground-based interceptors. Most notably, Trump’s Golden Dome would need to expand into space—making it a successor to the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) pursued by the Reagan administration in the 1980s. Better known by the mocking nickname “Star Wars,” SDI sought to neutralize the threat from the Soviet Union’s nuclear-warhead-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles by using space-based interceptors that could shoot them down midflight. But fearsome technical challenges kept SDI from getting anywhere close to that goal, despite tens of billions of dollars of federal expenditures.

As nearly half the states battle the federal government to maintain discriminatory equity and inclusion practices in public institutions, billions of taxpayer dollars are at stake.

Nineteen Democrat-run states have sued the federal government rather than comply with the Trump administration’s enforcement of race and sex antidiscrimination laws for K-12 and higher education institutions. According to the data-tracking website Burbio, the risk of funding loss for schools is enormous.

In 2024, California received more than $2.2 billion in federal Title I funds. New York received nearly $1.5 billion. Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Michigan all received between $5 and $8 hundred million, Burbio found. All are part of the 19-state coalition arguing they should continue receiving these massive amounts while still teaching race and sex discrimination. These massive dollar amounts typically increase in the millions annually.

In a memo to states issued April 3, the Trump administration reiterated states’ legal obligations in exchange for receiving federal financial assistance and certification under Title VI of federal education code and the 2023 Supreme Court decision against racial discrimination Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard. The certification letter stated that “any violation of Title VI- including the use of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (‘DEI’) programs to advantage one’s race over another is impermissible,” and included a late April signature deadline.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has described President Trump as a “monster” for launching a federal investigation against him.

Speaking at a church in Woodlawn, Illinois over the weekend, Johnson said he preferred to hire black people because they are more generous than whites.

This has since led to Department of Justice opening an investigation into Johnson for racial discrimination.

Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Johnson said that Trump’s investigation was the result of his own racial animus:

As far as, you know, the president’s animus towards women, people of color, working people, we have always known who he has been. This is not a surprise. He’s a monster.

We have the most diverse administration in the history of Chicago, and he is threatened by that.

You can tell when someone is fearful is because they act out. We have a president that is screaming and having tantrums right now because we have an administration that reflects the city of Chicago, but he would much rather have administrations that reflect the country club. Period.

He is most comfortable around people who think and look like him.

The Feds have filed a Criminal Complaint and Supporting Affidavit against Elias Rodriguez for the shooting murder of two Israelis Embassy staffers killed outside an American Jewish Committee event at the Jewish Museum in DC. The Supporting Affidavit provides much more detail than has been reported, including how Rodriguez finished off his victims Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim execution style after they already had been shot and were on the ground trying to crawl away.

Here are the charges:

18 U.S.C. § 1116 – Murder of Foreign Officials
18 U.S.C. § 924(j) – Causing the Death of a Person Through the Use of a Firearm
18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A)(iii) – Discharge of a Firearm During a Crime of Violence
D.C. Code § 22–2101 – First Degree Murder (two counts)

Here are excerpts from the Supporting Affidavit (emphasis added):

3. This affidavit is intended to show merely that there is sufficient probable cause for the requested complaint, and it does not set forth all of my knowledge about this matter.

6. On May 21, 2025, RODRIGUEZ shot and killed two individuals outside of 575 3rd St., Northwest, Washington, DC, which is site of the Capital Jewish Museum (“the Museum”). The Museum was hosting an event related to Jewish diplomatic and business relations, hosted by the American Jewish Committee, that aimed to “bring together Jewish young professionals and the D.C. diplomatic community.” The event was attended by several members of the United States based Israeli diplomatic mission.

8. Decedent-1, identified as Sarah Milgrim, was employed by the Embassy of Israel in Washington, D.C. The preliminary review of Decedent-1’s remains showed that she suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the body. Decedent-1 was transported from the scene by the District of Columbia’s Fire and Emergency Medical Services (DCFEMS) to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for the District of Columbia (OCME). Decedent-1 was pronounced dead at 9:35 pm by DCFEMS members under the authority of DCFEMS Dr. Vitburg. The results of the autopsy of Decedent-1 are pending.

Harvard University has sued the Trump administration over Donald Trump’s decision to revoke the Ivy League school’s ability to enroll international students.

Reuters reports that in a complaint filed in Boston federal court, Harvard called the revocation a “blatant violation” of the US constitution’s first amendment and other federal laws.

It also said the revocation had an “immediate and devastating effect” on the university and more than 7,000 visa holders.

The administration’s severe escalation in its weeks-long showdown with Harvard would force more than 6,000 international students currently enrolled there to transfer to other universities or lose their legal status, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

The Trump administration filed a motion Thursday to end the decades-old legal ruling that established basic standards for the treatment and release of migrant children—a move that immigrant rights advocates say they will challenge.

The Flores Settlement Agreement, which dates back to 1997, requires the government to move migrant children from jail-like detention facilities to state-licensed, child-appropriate facilities as quickly as possible, and to ensure that children are kept in safe and sanitary facilities.

“The fact that the government refuses to be held accountable to even these most basic standards to keep children safe speaks volumes.”

One of the most enduring characteristics of the modern iteration of ABC talk show “The View” — the show’s complete and naked contempt for President Donald Trump — is under fire.

And it’s not just coming from conservative supporters of Trump.

It’s coming from the heads of ABC and ABC’s parent company, Disney.

According to the Daily Beast, Disney CEO Bob Iger and ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic are two such voices providing pushback to “The View” and its barrage of anti-Trump coverage.

It’s unclear what made left-leaning elected officials so emboldened to blatantly disrespect and stalk law enforcement, especially in the performance of their duties, but that is becoming far too common.

Aftyn Behn, a Democratic Tennessee State Representative, posted a video bragging about how she followed ICE troopers in her car to harass them. It’s unclear if she thought the video made her appear morally superior, but I would never recommend interfering with federal enforcement to get clicks.

How many times is she going to say her phone is dead? And have you ever met a more unlikely person? Nevertheless, this speaks volumes as to how entitled and emboldened many leftists have become…

He’s not a conservative or a Trump guy, but Chris Cuomo set the progressive Left aflame last night. Since moving away from CNN, Mr. Cuomo hasn’t always been right, but when the stars align—he’s spot-on. On Wednesday night, Elias Rodriguez shot and killed Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim at a young diplomats event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC. They were a couple, too, with an engagement proposal set for next week. Milgrim worked to foster peace between Israelis and Palestinians; the event aimed to find ways to deliver more aid to Gaza.

Rodriguez shouted, “Free Palestine,” as police arrested him. He’s a vicious antisemite. We know who he is, and yet, there’s this reticence from the Left to call what happened in DC what it is, which is an act of terrorism. It was an assassination.

“We know the shooter is a far-left activist caught on camera shouting ‘Free Palestine.’ And as he was arrested, he kept chanting the slogan and said, ‘I did it for Gaza,’ Cuomo said on his show on NewsNation. “So why the F are all these people on the left saying, ‘If true’ and ‘If that’s who he is’ and ‘If he’s not an IDF plant’?”

“Violence does not have to happen, but if it does, then it should,” the account wrote in a post.

The man accused of shooting a couple from the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC this week reportedly posted praise for Luigi Mangione and wrote “death to America,” as well as “I voted for Hamas” on social media. He has been charged with first-degree murder in the case.

A criminal complaint states that Elias Rodriguez, 30, has been charged with murder of foreign officials, causing the death of a person through the use of a firearm, discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, as well as two counts of first-degree murder.

According to the New York Post, federal authorities are working to connect a social media account reportedly linked to Rodriguez, law enforcement sources told the outlet. Rodriuez, a socialist activist and yelled “Free, free Palestine” as police were taking him into custody, was arrested for the killing of Yaron Lischinsky as well as his girlfriend Sarah Lynn Milgrim. The couple was set to get engaged next week.

We’re back for round two. NBC News’ Yamiche Alcindor got into a lengthy sparring session with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt over the footage President Donald Trump showed in the Oval Office on Wednesday with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa regarding reports of mass killings of white farmers.

There have been reports that this is a genocide, which has been denied by NGOs and even Afrikaners who were in the room as part of the South Africa delegation. What cannot be denied is that white farmers are being attacked and brutally murdered, which Alcindor tried to call unsubstantiated. Leavitt cited the Associated Press to support that killings are occurring, and they are.

Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim were a young couple “in the prime of their lives” and planning to get married, according to the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C.

“Instead of walking you down the aisle, we are walking with you to your graves,” wrote embassy spokeswoman Tal Naim in an X post after Thursday after a suspected Jew-hating terrorist shot and killed the embassy employees as they exited the Capital Jewish Museum in Northwest D.C.

OPINION: The Trump administration isn’t unjustly taking away anyone’s Social Security – it’s ensuring people pay their debts

“Social Security Benefits Could Be Slashed to $750 Under Trump’s Student Loan Wage Seizure,” bellows a Forbes headline. Some “beneficiaries will face 15% cuts in June,” warns MassLive.

In reality, the opposite of where mainstream media journalists live, the Trump administration is moving to ensure student loans borrowed are paid for. It follows a five-year reprieve from most federal student loans which the president himself instituted in March 2020. The Trump administration has begun collecting loans that have been in default more than 270 days, since the freeze ended in Oct. 2024.

According to Forbes, Trump “could drastically cut [seniors] Social Security benefits, potentially leaving them with just $750 per month to live on.”

“Social Security beneficiaries who have fallen behind on their student loan payments face up to 15% garnishment of their payments,” MassLive reports.

President Donald Trump’s administration has terminated Harvard University’s student visa program.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shut down the program over “pro-terrorist conduct” on the prestigious school’s campus.

In a statement, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said the move is a severe consequence of Harvard’s refusal to comply with the Trump administration’s request for the behavioral records of foreign students.

“This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus,” Noem said.

“It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments.

“Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused.

On Wednesday, May 21, 2025, at 9pm local time, a far-left activist inspired by violent anti-Jewish DNC rhetoric murdered two Israeli embassy staffers, Yaron Lischinsky, 30 and Sarah Lynn Milgram, 26. They were assassinated by leftist activist Elias Rodriguez, 31, outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. Rodriguez screamed as he was arrested, “Free Palestine, Free Palestine.”

Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon called out the violent rhetoric of the Democratic Party, saying “When people are spreading lies, blaming us [for] genocide, calling for intifada, for like armed revolt against Israel, that is the consequence that we saw tonight. We have seen the incitement on campuses. We have seen the incitement in many places.”

“I’m sure that the authorities will make sure they will find out exactly who is behind it. But I think the more important issue is also to address the incitement. When people are spreading lies, blaming us [for] genocide, calling for intifada, for like armed revolt against Israel, that is the consequence that we saw tonight. I think we’ll have to go and look deeper about the incitement that we have seen in the last few weeks.”

The suspected terrorist busted for fatally shooting two Israeli Embassy staffers has ties to a radical left-wing group that spearheaded Black Lives Matter protests and fiercely advocates on behalf of “Palestinians”.

This is what the Democrats wrought. Their endless incitement to violence, the Democrat media incitement to hatred and violence, the Democrat takeover of our universities transforming them from the world’s leading institutions of learning to terrorist hatcheries. Jews must hide. Jews should be be “visibly Jewish.” Jews are not safe in the streets of America. Thank the Democrats.

It’s the same old pattern. An obvious hate crime. An obvious act of terror.

Yet public authorities and the media are reticent about calling it for what it is. Worried about offending certain groups, and being accused of hate themselves?

We see the same phenomenon in response to the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers outside the Capital Jewish Museum in DC last night by a man yelling “Free, Free Palestine,” and who told an eyewitness, “I did it for Palestine. I did it for Gaza.”

On CNN This Morning, CNN security analyst Juliette Kayyem, a former Obama DHS appointee, said:

“We can’t deny [that] the suspect said Free Palestine. He killed two Israelis. There may be either a hate crime or a federal crime, of course.”

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) didn’t have much to say after a pro-Hamas terrorist shot and killed a Washington D.C. couple who worked at the Israeli embassy following a community gala in the early hours of Thursday morning.

A Fox News reporter caught up with the “Squad” Democrat and anti-Israel agitator outside the Capitol shortly after U.S. House members concluded business with passage of President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” tax cut bill. Omar, a Muslim, had little to say about a killer who allegedly shouted “free, free Palestine” after gunning down a young man and his girlfriend just days before they were set to be engaged.

“Congresswoman Omar, can I get your reaction to the shooting that happened in D.C. last night?” the correspondent asks as Omar lowers her head and walks past.

“I’m going to go for now,” she replies without glancing in his direction.

Two staff members of the Israeli Embassy in Washington were shot and killed Wednesday evening while leaving an event at a Jewish museum, and the suspect yelled, “Free, free Palestine” after he was arrested, police said.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar identified the victims as Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim. Lischinsky was a research assistant, and Milgrim organized visits and missions to Israel.

They were leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum when the suspect approached a group of four people and opened fire, Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith said at a news conference.

The suspect, identified as Elias Rodriguez, 31, of Chicago, was observed pacing outside the museum before the shooting, walked into the museum after the shooting and was detained by event security, Smith said.

When he was taken into custody, the suspect began chanting, “Free, free Palestine,” Smith said. She said law enforcement did not believe there was an ongoing threat to the community.

The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is briefing the media now She starts by saying Donald Trump is “saddened and outraged” by the fatal shooting of the two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington DC last night.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair), the US’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, has condemned political violence as “completely unacceptable” after a deadly attack on Israeli embassy employees in Washington DC, and said that the crime does not reflect or represent the millions of Americans peacefully advocating for an end to US support for the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza.

In a statement, Cair said:

We condemn last night’s deadly attack on Israeli embassy employees in Washington DC.

While millions of Americans feel extreme frustration at the sight of the Israeli government slaughtering Palestinian men, women and children on a daily basis with weapons paid for with our taxpayer dollars, political violence is an unacceptable crime and is not the answer.

Such violence only undermines the pursuit of justice. Peaceful protest, civil disobedience and political engagement are the only appropriate and acceptable tools to advocate for policy change in our nation, including an end to US support for the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza.
