Radical Arrested For Bomb Threat Against Erika Kirk

A 26-year-old Texas man has been charged with making a terroristic threat after authorities say he threatened to kill Erika Kirk and bomb an upcoming Turning Point USA event where the widow is scheduled to speak.

The probe began after a local newspaper shared a Facebook post promoting TPUSA’s Women’s Leadership Summit, scheduled for June 5-7 at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter on the River Walk, according to KSAT-TV.

“I know exactly where to bomb,” the suspect, identified as Jacob Wenske, replied to the post, according to law enforcement.

Authorities say Wenske also wrote in the same thread, “I can’t wait to be the valet for her escort.”

In a subsequent email, Wenske escalated the threats, writing: “Death to Erika Kirk and every single speaker there!! America will live on without those scum on this earth. Every Christian nationalist shall perish in the bombing that will take place at every single Turning Point rally and event,” according to the arrest warrant.

Wenske was charged with a third-degree felony count of making a terroristic threat involving fear of serious bodily injury and public disruption.

Court records show Wenske’s bond was set at a combined $120,000, KSAT-TV reported. In a statement to Fox News Digital, TPUSA spokesman Matt Shupe said the organization is treating the threats seriously.

“The safety of our attendees, speakers, and staff is always our top priority. All TPUSA events include enhanced, multi-layered security measures enforced by both private security and local police,” Shupe said. “We refuse to let threats silence us. We look forward to a successful and inspiring gathering June 5-7 in San Antonio for more than 2,500 women attending the Women’s Leadership Summit.”

Kirk has recently drawn attention to what she describes as a broader media and cultural climate fueling political violence, arguing it contributed to the circumstances surrounding the public assassination of her husband Charlie Kirk in September.

“Seems to me that nothing will ever be enough for the evil in this world. Our country has become unrecognizable,” Kirk said following the recent shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. “These people have perverted the truth to the point that they motivated the murder of my husband.”

Another day, another unhinged leftist proving that the tolerance crowd's idea of debate is threats, bombs, and wishing death on anyone who dares to be conservative. Jacob Wenske, 26, decided to go full domestic terror enthusiast on social media and email, targeting Erika Kirk and a Turning Point USA women's event. 

The guy didn't stop at vague venting. He got very specific: knowing exactly where to bomb, offering to play valet for her "escort" in the most psychotic way possible, and then dropping a manifesto-level email promising death to every Christian nationalist at every TPUSA event. 

This is the kind of deranged rhetoric that used to get people locked up faster, but in 2026 America it takes a little extra paperwork.

TPUSA is handling it like pros, ramping up security and refusing to back down. Good for them. The left's climate of hate didn't die with Charlie Kirk. It just keeps churning out the next Jacob Wenske, convinced that violence is justified because orange man bad, or whatever the current media fever dream is.

Erika Kirk is right. The country is unrecognizable, and these people have poisoned the well so thoroughly that murder and bombing threats feel like just another Tuesday for them. The rest of us are left wondering when the adults are going to show up and restore some sanity.

Jimmy Talarico refers to Jesus as a "barefoot rabbi" demands federal land leases for abortion in video

Texas state Rep. James Talarico, who recently won the Democratic [leftist] nomination for U.S. Senate, once advocated for federal land leases to abortion providers and referred to Jesus as a “barefoot rabbi,” a phrase that appears on his Senate campaign site. 

In a 2022 address delivered at the Texas Democratic [leftist] Convention in Dallas, Talarico, a Presbyterian seminary student and former public school teacher, blended personal stories of resilience with a forceful call for Democrats to confront what he described as an existential threat to democracy. He invoked his experiences teaching on San Antonio’s West Side, his mother’s escape from domestic abuse, and Texas Democratic icons to urge aggressive action against “Trumpism” and “fascism.”

Talarico lambasted national Democratic leaders at the time for what he called a lack of resolve in contrast with Texas Democrats’ scrappiness, exemplified by political figures like former President Lyndon Baines Johnson, state Sens. Barbara Jordan and Wendy Davis, and former U.S. Rep. Robert 'Beto' O’Rourke.

“The Democratic Party is the only thing standing between this country and fascism, yet the most our national party leaders can muster is spineless talking points and soulless fundraising emails,” he said. “National Democrats, you know, the ones who fly into Texas to fundraise and then don’t spend a penny of that money in our state. They don’t know how to fight.”

He urged then-President Joe Biden, whom he said “saved our nation” from President Donald Trump following the 2020 election, to once and for all 'restore its soul by defeating Trumpism.' “We need you and our nation’s leaders to start using every tool in the toolbox to protect our freedom. Lease federal land to abortion providers, declare a public health emergency, impeach justices who lied under oath, prosecute Trump and his fellow insurrectionists, and finally, call the filibuster what it is, a Jim Crow relic that’s standing between the American people and cheap prescription drugs, universal pre-K and a livable planet.”

In his speech, Talarico framed the political fight in explicitly Christian terms, referring to Jesus as “a barefoot rabbi” who gave two commandments: love God and love neighbor. A review by The Christian Post of Talarico’s campaign website found additional references to Jesus as a “barefoot rabbi.”

CP reached out to Talarico’s campaign for comment on Tuesday.

The 2022 speech, which Talarico has echoed in his current Senate campaign materials emphasizing a “top versus bottom” divide and the need to “flip tables” of injustice, has resurfaced following his victory over U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), in the March 3 Democratic primary. He now awaits the winner of the May 26 Republican runoff between incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton.

In a March 13 interview on Fox News’ “The Brian Kilmeade Show,” Trump took aim at Talarico’s campaign, calling the candidate “whacked out with his six different forms of gender.” The president appeared to refer to a 2021 statement by Talarico in which he said God is “both masculine, feminine and everything in between.”

Calling Talarico’s statement an “insult to Jesus,” Trump added, “He is so woke. He’s beyond woke. … When you see what this guy said about gender and about other topics …” While Trump has backed off an earlier pledge to endorse in the May 3 runoff vote between Cornyn and Paxton, he called Talarico’s defeat of Crockett “good news” for either candidate.

Two armed robbers shot by target

San Antonio, TEXAS -- The San Antonio Police Department is investigating a shooting in which two men were rushed to the hospital at about 3:50 a.m. Sunday morning from the 200 block of Ranch Valley.

When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered a 23-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his head. Emergency Medical Services transported him to the hospital, where he was listed in critical condition, according to the San Antonio Police Department. During the investigation, authorities learned that another man had also been taken to the hospital, this one with a gunshot wound to his hip, which was linked to the same incident, SAPD reported.

Per San Antonio police, the two men taken to the hospital were the aggressors, while the person who shot them was the target of an attempted robbery and acting in self-defense.

Police have not disclosed many additional details about the defensive gun use, only confirming that the two men who targeted the 34-year-old armed citizen were also armed. The victim is not currently facing any charges for his actions, and based on what we know, nor should he.

There were other self-defense incidents this weekend but you get the picture: people have the right to defend themselves and their property and the Second Amendment is as important as the First Amendment and the U.S. Constitution overall.

VP Hahaharris goes straight to politics on 51 illegal alien deaths: attacks Gov. Abbott, not Biden

"No, this is the one for the nose; the other is for the ear"

On Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Hahaharris used the deaths of 51 illegal U.S. border crossers to attack Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's despair and resentment of the Biden administration's ineptness of his mishandling of the border crisis. Specifically, the illegal aliens died after being left abandoned in a big rig in San Antonio, Texas this week.

"How the governor of that state responded really highlights part of the problem because his response when there are 50 dead bodies in his state is to go straight to politics," Harris said in a nasal sounding interview with NPR. "Instead of dealing with the realities of the issue."

The realities of the issue are clear: this administration wants open borders; cartel smugglers are making billions of dollars in delivering them without care for the condition in which they arrive; and besides these deaths, fentanyl is the leading cause of U.S. deaths among people 18 to 45 years of age, and it gets here by crossing our southern border.

Officials are still investigating one of the deadliest human smuggling cases in modern U.S. history and had our sovereignty been respected by Biden and his handler(s), this would have likely never happened because the incentive to come here would be gone.

"These deaths are on Biden," tweeted Abbott Monday night. "They are a result of his deadly open border policies. They show the deadly consequences of his refusal to enforce the law."

What about that statement isn't true?

President Biden mush-mouthed back at Abbott, accusing him of "political grandstanding" after several Republicans slammed the administration’s border policies by merely pointing them out. It's akin to pissing off an Islamist by quoting the Koran and pointing out that Muhammad married Ayisha when she was 6-years-old.

The truth is obvious: they wouldn't come if we didn't have open borders, provide assistance for the migrants, and give them benefits that even some of our military veterans don't get.

Hahaharris said the administration is taking "seriously" the issue of human smuggling which has increased in recent years as smugglers look to turn a profit on one of the most contested issues in the U.S.

Yes, they are taking it seriously, so much so that they hope to get some serious Democratic voters in the process.

"There have been over 2,000 arrests just in the last three months. I think there are at least eight indictments that have happened," she said. "We need to deal with that, right, in terms of the consequences of criminal behavior that results in death."

And yet there have been, and continue to be, record numbers of illegal aliens coming into the country, some of whom are likely to be terrorists since we know they are trying to get here.

Harris, who was appointed Biden's 'Border Czar'  has never visited the border, nor Europe, but tried to lay the blame on the shoulders of the Trump administration, because that's all they have left to say. Based on what Trump gets accused of even since being out of office this long, one would think he's capable of running the entire planet. 

The victims in Monday’s tragic deaths included at least 22 migrants from Mexico, seven from Guatemala and two from Honduras.

Mom exercises her 2nd Amendment Rights and castle domain to protect her family

San Antonio, Texas -- Police said a man entered the home of a San Antonio mother of three from the rear of the building at about 10 pm. He then attempted to break into the door leading into the main part of the house where the woman and her children were located, according to KSAT-TV. 

The unidentified woman who is in her 30s, heard noises that she identified as an intruder.

When the man entered, she shot him twice in the chest, according to KABB-TV. The police came and the intruder was taken to the hospital but died on the way. The network reported that the woman will not face charges under what is known as castle domain. This doctrine permits individuals to use the necessary force needed for the protection of themselves at their home or place of work. 

As of this past Friday, the dead man's identity has not been released by law enforcement and the woman's identity also remains undisclosed.

Feel good story of the day: carjacker gets his karma good and hard

San Antonio, Texas -- a Texas grandmother, Shirlene Hernandez, 72, was walking into a gas station last Tuesday morning to buy a can of soda when a scumbag grabbed her car keys and mercilessly beat on her, hitting her repeatedly in the face, according to WBRC.

Three good men came to her aid but the scumbag had stolen her vehicle and was off "in a frenzy" the report stated.

But the scumbag's joyride came to a tragic end. He was found to be as dead as roadkill on a nearby highway soon after he had stolen Ms. Hernandez's car. The car was totaled and so was he.

“There’s a lot of people who would say what goes around comes around, karma. I did not think that; the only thing I got (was) really sad because he had died,” Hernandez graciously said.

“Now granted, he had hurt me, but the Lord saw fit to take him out of his misery.”

What comes around, crashes and burns.

Ms. Hernandez will recover from the beating she took but unfortunately, she is unable to work without her car, according to the article.

But there's an even happier ending: an online fundraiser raised nearly $28,000 by Tuesday night and had gone over the set goal by nearly 600 percent.

The carjacker leaves behind a pair of sneakers, soiled underwear, and pie.

Bully gets indicted for grabbing 'MAGA' hat from teen

Thinking about Hillary

A big, strong tough guy was indicted by a Bexar County grand jury. The 30-year-old punk from San Antonio was arrested in July after being caught on video grabbing a "Make America Great Again" cap from a teenager who was minding his own business as he dined at a San Antonio Whataburger.

And what a burger it is.

The record shows that Kino Jimenez was indicted Wednesday on a charge of theft of person, a state jail felony. He was found in Universal City in July by San Antonio police robbery task force and taken into custody on an arrest warrant.

The story went national after the video of the attack went viral online. In the video, Hunter Richard, 16, is seen eating with friends around 2 a.m. at a North Side Whataburger, located at Nacogdoches and Thousand Oaks.

The video starts halfway through a confrontation showing Jimenez throwing a drink in Richard's face and walking out of the restaurant with a red "Make America Great Again" cap in his hand that Richard stated belonged to him.

The video racked up millions of views and thousands of comments.

Richard is from Orlando visiting friends in San Antonio. He said the man approached their table, tore off his cap and asked why he was wearing it, [because Jimenez is evidently not very bright]. When Richard answered that he supported President Trump--the cap shows his slogan, duh--Richard said the guy threw a drink in his face and walked away with the cap.

"You ain't supportin' sh*t, n***er," the man said while he walked away.

Jimenez, a big Antifa fan, is out on bond and has a trial date October 19th. Hopefully he will be incarcerated and share a cell with a big guy named "Bubba" who also sports a MAGA hat. He already has a criminal record that includes misdemeanor offenses for marijuana possession, making him a liberal hero.

Soon after his arrest, Rumble, a local bar, issued a statement saying Jimenez was a part-time employee there and had been fired. [Evidently, he didn't do a good job cleaning the toilets].

Theft of person is a state jail felony punishable by a minimum of six months or maximum two years in state jail. Since the pantsuit lover has no felony convictions, he would be eligible for probation or deferred adjudication of found guilty.

And if the judge is a Democrat, he might receive a pat on the back.

Homely math teacher has sex with 17-year-old boy

"He was more'n just a yungin"

A relatively plain-looking, 52-year-old math teacher is accused of having "sex in a public park" with her teenage student from San Antonio, Texas high school.  She was arrested Thursday on suspicion she had sexual relations for more than a year with her 17-year-old student, and even did it once at a public park.

Alberta Padilla, a teacher at Claudia Taylor "Lady Bird" Johnson High School in North East Independent School District. The statutory rapes began in June 2016, when the boy was 16-years-old and Padilla was 51, and lasted until August 20, 2017. 

Padilla admitted to having sex with the child after she allowed him to stay at her home and gave him clothing and food. She said they developed feelings for one another over time, but based upon her photo, the boy was likely getting extra credit for the affair.

She confessed that she and the boy had sex about 15 to 20 times over the course of a year--and they even did it in a public park, under the stars, next to the pigeons.

According to authorities, the relationship was discovered after Padilla's daughters taped a conversation they had with the boy, who cautioned them not to go to the cops. The boy also reportedly told the girls that he loved Padilla even more than he loved his video games.

Police said the kid confessed he and the adult had sex.

Padilla was booked into the Bexar County Jail and held on $20,000 bond, according to KTSA.

Aubrey Chancellor, a spokesperson and not the chancellor for the school district said they were trying to determine whether or not to terminate Padilla. She has been placed on leave.

Planned Parenthood had no comment.

Arrrest made in San Antonio detective's execution

The man suspected of executing a San Antonio police detective was arrested Monday afternoon.

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus told the media that 31-year-old Otis Tyrone McKane was arrested without incident around 4:30 p.m. local time and charged with capital murder.

A car driven by a woman with a 2-year-old child with McKane as a passenger was stopped by law enforcement east of the city. It isn't known what their relationship is at this time.

The arrest came after a 30-hour-long hunt for the coward who shot Det. Benjamin Marconi, 50, as he was writing a traffic ticket in his squad car Sunday morning outside police headquarters. The person receiving the ticket is not believed to be connected to the shooter.

The investigators believe McKane drove up behind Marconi's squad car, walked up to the driver's-side window and shot him, coward style.

McManus said that McKane had a criminal record, but didn't go into detail. The vehicle the police were searching for was found near the coward's home. "Everyone is relieved," McManus said to reporters. "I don't think anyone slept last night."

Surveillance video showed the shooter at police headquarters about 4 hours prior to the shooting. McKane asked the desk clerk a question but left before receiving an answer, but McManus declined to say what the scumcrumpet asked.

"I don't know why he was in headquarters . . . we have some ideas," he said.

After the arrest the suspect was being escorted to Bexar County Jail and told reporters that he was angry with the court system for not letting him see his son and he "lashed out at somebody who didn't deserve it."

"I've been through several custody battles and I was upset at the situation I was in, and I lashed out at someone who didn't deserve it," he said, adding that he wished to apologize to the family of the slain officer.

Yeah, apologizing will make it all better and the Marconi family will forgive you.

Not so ironically, the Obama administration has not commented on this horrible incident, but if Obama had a son . . . well, let's not go there.

Self righteous indignation in our schools

A conservative high school in Texas performed a skit depicting the assassination of Barack Obama. This was just one example of the frustration across the country of having a lame duck president who divided the nation, lowered the average family income, created a health care system based on a lie to the American public, and divided the nation along racial lines. 

Just kidding--the skit was actually about the assassination of President-elect Donald Trump. It's merely one example of the lack of respect for the electoral process and exemplifies the inferiority of our public schools.

The skit was performed at San Antonio's Marshall High School where officials claimed they took "appropriate action" following the skit in which a student acting as Trump was shot by a classmate using sound effects of gunfire from a cellphone. The so-called 'appropriate action' may have been something as drastic as school officials refusing to clap after the performance.

Some of the parents say that harsher punishment is needed and some people worry that political polarization has become endemic in the schools.

One parent, Melinda Bean, told the San Antonio Express-News, "Honestly, I have run out of words to describe how angry I am and how shocked I am that they're still in school today." She was referring to school officials who allowed this to happen and the idiots who performed the skit.

But this was hardly the only controversial anti-Trump activity happening across the country. And while most media coverage focuses on scattered violent protests around the country, it is now obvious that the election reverberations are being felt down to elementary school levels.

Personally, I'm going to wait and see what Trump is going to do with all of the promises he made that got him elected. When he does good things as I see it, I will praise him. When he screws up, I will call it as I see it.

However, teachers allowing demonstrations, particularly like the one in San Antonio depicting the assassination of the President-elect, are not teaching democracy--they are teaching anarchy.

Judith Myers-Walls, a professor emerita of human development and family studies at Purdue University said to FoxNews.com spoke to FoxNews.com and said "This election was unusually nasty. It was, in many ways, at a child's level with the candidates at times acting like they were in pre-school." She said that with the omnipresent media coverage and constant TV, Internet and social media coverage of the candidates, it's no wonder that young students picked up slogans like "Build the Wall" and "Lock Her Up," without understanding what they actually mean.

Myers-Walls explained that it's important that parents and teachers talk to students when they see them expressing these types of behavior and it's even more important to know when to introduce them to what's going on regarding politics.

I would add that schools have the responsibility  to present balanced political views rather than the views of teachers. That it will ever happen in our lifetime is highly optimistic and probably a pipe dream.

Finally, the fact that our so-called president refuses to condemn the election protests shows us who he really is--an insufferable Alinskyite who never lets a tragedy go to waste. I just hope he doesn't declare a national emergency requiring martial law and an extension of his term as POTUS. Actually, I've heard that notion before, but I suspect he doesn't have the testicular fortitude to try it.
