Joshua Kerry Charged With Brutally Murdering Ann Widdecombe; Leftists Already Blaming Society Instead Of The Monster Who Did It

"If an offender has committed murder, he must die. In this case, no possible substitute can satisfy justice. For there is no parallel between death and even the most miserable life, so that there is no equality of crime and retribution unless the perpetrator is judicially put to death." Immanuel Kant [The Metaphysics of Morals, 1797]

British prosecutors charged a leftist cretin, Joshua Kerry, 28, with the murder of ex-politician and reality TV contestant Ann Widdecombe. I don't often write about UK news, but this one is no different than the incidents we are seeing in the United States and all over Western nations.

"We have charged Joshua Kerry, a 28-year-old British national, of Burley Road, Rotherham, South Yorkshire," officials announced after the former lift company [they call elevators 'lifts' in merry old England] worker drove more than 260 miles to the elderly conservative icon's home in Devon, drooling into his crotch the entire journey.

Court details revealed Kerry allegedly arrived in a red Vauxhall Corsa on July 8 and proceeded to attack Widdecombe while she ate lunch. Prosecutors told the court she was hit on the head repeatedly with a hammer, with reports specifying as many as 21 strikes.

The suspect, described as a white British national [which is incredibly more accurate in description than UK news describes Muslim perpetrators as "Asians"] living alone in a council house in Rotherham, was initially held on suspicion of murder before additional charges related to the commission, preparation, or instigation of acts of terrorism were considered.

Counter-terrorism police confirmed the investigation into his motivations continues, but he is, after all, a leftist and we all know how violent they've become when people have different opinions.

The real outrage is not just the crime but the predictable circus that follows. Here is a man who apparently could not build a life worth living, so he chose to destroy one instead.

A 78-year-old woman, a former government minister known for her unapologetic conservative views and plain speaking, targeted in her own kitchen. Kerry did not debate her because he doesn't have the capacity to do so. He did not write a strongly worded letter because writing is for losers. Instead, he picked up a hammer and used it like a coward who had run out of arguments and ideas if he even ever had one of those things.

Progressive voices will no doubt rush to blame "toxic masculinity," "austerity," "Brexit trauma," or whatever flavor of societal excuse is trending this week in the UK. They will demand we "understand his pain" and "address root causes."

Meanwhile, the actual root cause sits in custody: a grown man who traveled across England specifically to cave in the skull of a defenseless grandmother because he could not handle the fact that she existed and disagreed with him.

Ann Widdecombe spent decades fighting for traditional values, exposing nonsense, and refusing to bow to the cultural mob. Joshua Kerry spent his time likely picking his nose while apparently plotting the perfect hammer-based solution to political disagreement. One built a career. The other destroyed a life and now faces the consequences.

Sadly, there is no death sentence in the UK as it has been totally abolished.

The quotes remain unchanged because the facts do not need softening. Kerry is charged with murder. The victim was hit repeatedly with a hammer as she ate lunch. No amount of hand-wringing about "mental health" or "systemic failures" erases the simple truth that one man chose evil and acted on it.May justice be swift.

And may the rest of the left stop pretending every act of barbarism is society's fault instead of the fault of the barbarian who committed it.

Woke/leftism, is a mental illness.

BREAKING: Jury reached a verdict in the Karmelo Anthony murder trial

Anthony is now facing life in prison.

A Collin County, Texas jury on Tuesday found 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony guilty of murdering 17-year-old high school athlete Austin Metcalf, bringing an end to one of the most closely watched murder trials in the country.

Anthony, who was 17 at the time of the killing, was tried as an adult. He now faces anywhere from five years to life in prison after being convicted of first-degree murder.

Just before the verdict was read, CBS reporter J.D. Miles noted that more than two dozen deputies had been stationed outside the courtroom as tensions mounted. A crowd gathered outside the courthouse chanting, “Free Karmelo.”

The case exploded into the national spotlight after Anthony, who is black, fatally stabbed Metcalf, who was white, during a track event in Frisco, Texas in April 2025. The story gained traction not only because of the circumstances surrounding the killing, but because much of the corporate press seemed strangely uninterested in covering it. Had the racial dynamics been reversed, everyone knows the media cycle would have looked very different.

The trial itself moved quickly. Jury selection began June 1 and the proceedings wrapped in just nine days. Throughout the trial, prosecutors presented video footage and witness testimony showing Anthony initiated the confrontation with Metcalf and that deadly force was not justified. Even testimony from defense witnesses undercut the self-defense narrative pushed by Anthony’s legal team.

Anthony notably declined to testify in his own defense.

The racial narrative promoted by Anthony’s family also fell apart once witnesses took the stand. Several black teenage witnesses called by the prosecution testified that Anthony was in the wrong and described Metcalf as a respected friend and leader.

One of the most emotional moments came when a young male witness who knew both teens broke down in tears while describing the killing.

“That was my brother, that was my brother that got stabbed,” he said.

Investigative journalist Sarah Fields, who attended the trial, reported that the witness was directly asked whether the case was about race.

“No,” the teen responded. “Austin was a leader and he protected us.”

Video evidence further dismantled claims that Anthony had been cornered or threatened by a mob. Footage showed Metcalf confronting Anthony alone. According to witness testimony, Metcalf explicitly told Anthony he was not going to fight him.

Meanwhile, supporters of Anthony have maintained a presence outside the courthouse since the start of the trial, with some making inflammatory racial remarks and publicly attacking the victim. Authorities increased security around the courthouse early Tuesday morning amid concerns about possible unrest following the verdict.

REPORT: Mohammed Odeh, responsible for the 10/7 murder, kidnapping, and injury of numerous Israeli civilians and soldiers dead

Israel announced on Tuesday that the Israel Defense Forces had carried out a strike in Gaza targeting Mohammed Odeh, [the surname 'h' is pronounced as an 'r'] whom officials identified as the new leader of Hamas’s military wing and a senior figure involved in the October 7 attack on Israel.

An Israeli official told Kan News that Odeh was killed in the strike, though his death has not yet been officially confirmed.

In a joint statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz declared that the operation had been conducted under their direction and had targeted Odeh, “one of the architects of the Oct. 7 massacre.”

According to the statement, Odeh had served as head of Hamas intelligence staff during the October 7 attack and had been appointed only about a week earlier to replace Izz al-Din al-Haddad.

Odeh “was responsible for the murder, abduction, and injury of many Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers,” the statement said.

Israeli officials reported that al-Haddad himself had been killed in an IDF strike in the Gaza Strip some two weeks earlier. Al-Haddad had been the head of Hamas’s military wing, one of the central planners behind numerous terror attacks, and among the last remaining senior figures involved in orchestrating the October 7 massacre. He had belonged to Hamas for roughly three decades and was regarded by Israel as a major threat to both civilians and soldiers alike.

Netanyahu and Katz praised the Israeli military and security services for the precision of the strike.

“Congratulations to the IDF and the Shin Bet for their ongoing efforts to eliminate our enemies,” the statement said, repeating Israel’s solemn pledge to continue targeting those connected to October 7.

“We will continue to pursue everyone who took part in the Oct. 7 massacre. Sooner or later, Israel will reach all of them,” the statement said.

The announcement identified Odeh as merely the latest senior Hamas figure to assume a leadership role in the group’s military wing, only to meet the same fate as his predecessors following recent Israeli operations in Gaza. In this grim but necessary accounting, the architects of that day of slaughter find no refuge.

IDF captures Palestinian who murdered his son, burned his body, and infiltrated Israel

A Palestinian man suspected of murdering his 12-year-old son and burning his body was found in Israel after infiltrating the country, the IDF said on Sunday.

According to Palestinian sources that spoke with KAN News, the man had taken his son to the Palestinian village of Beit Ur, near Ramallah in the West Bank, and stabbed him near an agricultural area of the town.

He then burned the body, fled the scene, and infiltrated Israel near the Hashmo Bnaim checkpoint, evading the Palestinian Authority security forces in the process.

The PA contacted the IDF after being unable to locate the man. The military found him inside Israel near the checkpoint to leave the West Bank.

The IDF interrogated the suspect and then handed him over to the PA.

"IDF forces operating last night at the Hashmonaim checkpoint in the Central Command detained a Palestinian suspect for questioning. Initial questioning at the checkpoint revealed that the suspect murdered his son in the Ramallah area and fled the scene," the military statement read.

Last week, the military and the Israel Police announced that they had arrested and indicted seven members of the Hariri crime organization for extortion, threats, and the planting of explosive devices.

The filing of indictments and prosecutors’ statements followed a series of raids conducted in Arab villages and the West Bank on April 12, during which 11 suspects were arrested. Multiple vehicles and a large amount of cash were also seized during the raids.

The investigation and raids were the product of collaboration between multiple bodies, including the Israel Police, Border Police, dog squad units, and the IDF.

Former Biden staffer charged with murdering his girlfriend

Either he's a complete fool, or it wasn't an accident.

A former staffer to former alleged President Joe Biden shot and killed his girlfriend on March 24 in San Francisco. He was arrested the following day. Police arrived around 10:45 pm to discover that Samantha Emge, 22, was suffering from a gunshot wound. She died at the hospital. 

Nation Wood, 25, claims he was dry-firing a firearm, which led to the shooting. He has been charged with involuntary manslaughter (via Fox KTVU):

KTVU has learned that the man charged with involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of his girlfriend in San Francisco's Sunset District last week told police he was "dry-firing" a gun that went off and shot her while she was showering.

The suspect, Nation Wood, 25, is out on bail after San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins charged him in the March 24 shooting at 22nd Avenue and Santiago Street. A Superior Court judge set Wood's bail at $300,000. Wood pleaded not guilty at his arraignment on Friday.Dry firing a gun is when you pull the trigger of an unloaded firearm. But in this case, the firearm was primed when Samantha Emge, 22, a recent San Francisco State University graduate, was shot and killed.

When the story of the shooting first broke, District 4 Supervisor Alan Wong, a mayoral appointee, had said the discharge of the gun may have been unintentional.

Emge had worked in interior design, according to her LinkedIn profile.

Wood, who had also studied at San Francisco State University, worked in security, according to his LinkedIn profile. He was scheduled to leave San Francisco soon to serve in the National Guard.

He is now out on bail.

A week after the fatal shooting of his 22-year-old girlfriend, Samantha Emge, at their San Francisco Sunset District home, 25-year-old Nation Wood was in court on Wednesday.

"He is on electronic monitoring. His family posted bail. No weapons consent to warrant search and work with pre-trial services. All that he is going to do," said Paula Canny, Wood's attorney.Emge's parents and Nation Wood's dad were present. Wood appeared on Zoom from a hospital mental health unit. His attorney said he was admitted after posting $300,000 bail and is currently under psychiatric evaluation.

"We don't want to further compound this horrible tragedy by him ending his own life, which is what I think he wants to do now," said Canny.

This seems like a tragic accident, but we need more details. Did he forget to check his firearm? Where the hell was he doing this dry-firing exercise? Even if Wood checked and knew it was unloaded, you should not point it in any direction where someone could get shot. 

This is firearm safety 101, which anyone who owns a firearm, or knows anything about firearm safety already knows. Always treat a firearm as if it's loaded. The fact that he dry-fired it and pointed it at his showering girlfriend is just too convenient an excuse. 

I don't believe him . . . do you?

Venezuelan national busted after allegedly killing 18-year-old Chicago student

A 25-year-old Venezuelan national, Jose Medina-Medina ,who entered the United States illegally has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Loyola University Chicago student Sheridan Gorman. Gorman was reportedly walking with friends along the Tobey Prinz Beach pier, near campus, when a masked man opened fire, violently, and senselessly shooting her in the head. 

The young lady was pronounced dead at the scene.

In a statement to ABC7, Gorman’s family said that she had gone to the pier to look at the Northern Lights, emphasizing that “there was nothing reckless about her actions” at the time, suggesting further that this was a completely random attack.

“Sheridan was our daughter, our sister, and the heart of our family. She was full of life, full of kindness, and full of a love that she gave freely to everyone around her,” the family said in a statement.

Medina-Medina was arrested-arrested on Friday night and was scheduled to appear in court on Monday. This was delayed, however, as he has since been hospitalized for tuberculosis, according to prosecutors who spoke to the Chicago Tribune. At this point, no official motive has been identified for the crime.

In a statement released on Sunday, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has lodged a detainer against Medina. The department noted that Medina had been released twice in 2023 under the Biden administration's policies, including a release following an arrest for shoplifting in Chicago.

“Sheridan Gorman had her whole life ahead of her before this cold-blooded killer decided to end her life. She was failed by open border policies and sanctuary politicians who RELEASED this illegal alien TWICE before he went on to commit this heinous murder,” said Lauren Bis, DHS acting assistant secretary, in the statement.

“We are calling on Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago’s sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this criminal illegal alien from jail back into American neighborhoods,” she added.Responding to news of the arrest, the Gorman family issued a statement through ABC7, ultimately describing the tragedy as a “violent and preventable act.”

“We are gravely disappointed by the policies and failures that allowed this individual to remain in a position to commit this crime. When systems fail, whether through release decisions, lack of coordination, or unwillingness to act, the consequences are not abstract. They are real. And in our case, they are permanent.”

“This cannot be just another case that fades from public attention. Sheridan’s life mattered. What happened to her matters. And we will make sure she is not forgotten,” they continued.

Miss Gorman was an 18-year-old freshman at Loyola University Chicago, though originally from Yorktown, New York. A business major and active member of the Christian campus organization Cru, she was described by friends and family as a compassionate, joyful, and kind person who was deeply involved in her campus community despite only being in her first year. 

The fatal incident occurred around 1:15 a.m. at the Tobey Prinz Beach pier in Rogers Park while Gorman was walking with a group of friends, having gone to the lakefront specifically to try to view the Northern Lights. According to investigators, the masked man approached the group from behind a lighthouse and opened fire as they attempted to flee. Gorman was struck in the head and pronounced dead at the scene. No other injuries were reported among her friends.

A memorial and scholarship fund are being established in Gorman’s honor in her hometown of Yorktown.

This is the sort of story that should shame a nation. A young woman, full of promise and untouched by any recklessness or provocation, steps out on a clear night simply to witness a rare natural wonder, the Northern Lights dancing above Lake Michigan. In that innocent moment she is executed at point-blank range by a man who had no right to be in the country at all, a man released not once but twice by the very authorities charged with protecting American citizens.

The family’s grief is raw and dignified. They insist there was “nothing reckless about her actions,” as if even the faintest suggestion of fault must be extinguished before it can be whispered. They are right to do so. For this was not a tragic encounter between rival gang members or the unhappy result of some personal dispute. It was, by every available account, a random slaughter, the sort that occurs when the state has decided that its own laws on entry and removal are optional, when sanctuary policies matter more than the safety of its own people, and when the consequences of those decisions are borne not by politicians in their guarded offices but by freshmen walking along a pier.

Consider the sequence. The killer, a Venezuelan an illegal alien, had already been arrested for shoplifting in Chicago. Under the policies of the Biden administration he was released. Later he was encountered again and released once more. 

Now an American teenager lies dead, her skull shattered by his bullet, while he sits in hospital with tuberculosis, the court appearance postponed. The Department of Homeland Security has at last lodged a detainer, as though such paperwork could resurrect the dead or undo the years of deliberate negligence that placed the murderer on that pier in the first place.

The family sees it clearly. “We are gravely disappointed by the policies and failures that allowed this individual to remain in a position to commit this crime,” they say. “When systems fail, whether through release decisions, lack of coordination, or unwillingness to act, the consequences are not abstract. They are real. And in our case, they are permanent.”

There is a terrible eloquence in those words. Permanent. That is what open-border ideology and sanctuary-city dogma have delivered to Sheridan Gorman and her family: a permanent absence, a life cut short at eighteen, a future of studies and friendships and quiet Christian witness erased in a single act of casual savagery.

Politicians will speak of  “comprehensive reform” and “root causes” in the days ahead, as they always do. They will treat this as one more data point in an argument rather than as the human catastrophe it is. But the family will not let it fade. “This cannot be just another case that fades from public attention,” they declare. “Sheridan’s life mattered. What happened to her matters. And we will make sure she is not forgotten.”

They should not have to fight alone for that remembrance. The rest of us, those still fortunate enough to live under laws that are actually enforced, have a duty to ensure that Sheridan Gorman is not remembered merely as another statistic in the long ledger of migrant crime, but as the precise and foreseeable cost of a governing philosophy that values ideological purity over the elementary obligation to keep citizens safe in their own streets and on their own shores. 

A scholarship and a memorial in Yorktown will be established, small consolations for an irreparable loss. Yet the true memorial must be larger: a national reckoning with the reality that when a country stops controlling its borders, it stops controlling its fate, and the first to pay are the young, the innocent, and the hopeful, walking out one autumn night to see the lights in the sky.

Judge rules on defense's attempt to disqualify prosecutors in Charlie Kirk murder case

In the Fourth District Court in Provo, Utah, Judge Tony Graf presided over yet another hearing in the grim aftermath of what can only be described as a political assassination. Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of murdering conservative activist Charlie Kirk, appeared remotely from his jail cell on September 16, 2025, a detail that underscores the gravity and the spectacle of the proceedings.

A Utah judge has now firmly rejected the defense's attempt to disqualify the prosecutors in the case against Tyler Robinson, the young man charged with the killing of Charlie Kirk.

On Tuesday, having considered the arguments aired at a hearing on February 3, Judge Tony Graf ruled decisively for the prosecution. He stated that the court was unpersuaded that a prosecutor’s relationship with his daughter, who had been present at the event, had improperly influenced the decision to pursue the death penalty against Robinson.

The defense had pressed their case with considerable vigor. They insisted that because Chad Grunander's daughter had attended the Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University, the very scene where Kirk was fatally shot, the entire Utah County Attorney’s Office ought to be removed from the prosecution. This familial connection, they maintained, created at least the appearance of impropriety, and that alone was sufficient to warrant disqualifying the whole office from the matter.

The county attorney’s office countered with clarity and restraint. Neither the office nor the deputy attorney in question labored under any conflict of interest, they argued, because AC (the adult child present at the college event) “did not see Charlie get shot” and “did not see anyone [in the crowd or elsewhere] with a gun.” Moreover, “nearly everything [AC] knows about the actual homicide is hearsay,” according to filings submitted by the office.

Robinson’s preliminary hearing is now set to commence on May 18 and is anticipated to span three days. Only upon its conclusion will he face arraignment, and he has yet to enter a plea.One cannot help but observe the deeper irony here. In an age when political violence has become a grotesque currency, the attempt to recuse an entire prosecutorial office on grounds so tenuous speaks volumes about the lengths to which some will go to muddy the waters of justice. Yet the judge, in his measured ruling, has reminded us that the rule of law demands more than mere appearances or speculative bias; it requires actual evidence of impropriety. The prosecution may proceed, and the grim business of determining guilt in this assassination will continue unimpeded.

Florida Hits Execution Milestone: 16th This Year for a Monster Who Raped and Drowned a 6-Year-Old in '79

I believe that if there's one thing that separates a functioning justice system from a revolving door for the worst of the worst, it's the willingness to follow through on a death sentence. Florida just did that Thursday night, putting Bryan Frederick Jennings, 66, to death by lethal injection for the 1979 abduction, rape, and drowning of little Rebecca Kunash, a six-year-old girl snatched right from her bedroom while her parents were in the next room. 

It's the 16th execution in the Sunshine State this year, shattering any previous record and sending a message: Justice delayed might be inevitable, but justice denied ain't gonna happen on Ron DeSantis's watch.

Jennings was pronounced dead at 6:20 p.m. ET at Florida State Prison near Starke, after a three-drug cocktail did its work. When the warden asked if he had any last words, the guy who spent over four decades gaming the system bellowed a single, defiant "No." No remorse, no plea for mercy, just "No." 

The victim's family kept their distance from the media scrum afterward, which is their prerogative after all these years. Florida Department of Corrections spokesman Jordan Kirkland confirmed it all went textbook smooth: "The execution took place without incident," he said. "There were no complications." In a world where everything seems to go sideways, at least this worked as advertised.

This makes 42 executions nationwide so far in 2025, per the Death Penalty Information Center, a nonprofit that's not exactly cheering from the rooftops for these executions, but facts are facts. That's the most since 2012, a sharp rebound from the dismal 11 in 2021, when the death penalty was basically on life support after peaking at 98 back in 1999. All 42 have come from 11 states, mostly in the South and Midwest where folks still believe in accountability. 

Up in the leftist-run north? Zilch. And while President Trump has vowed to crank up federal executions, none have happened yet this year.

Jennings' saga is a masterclass in how the appeals racket turns "swift justice" into a bad joke. Convicted and sentenced to death in 1980, that got tossed on appeal. Same story with his second trial. It wasn't until the third go-round in 1986 that the third death sentence stuck, along with life terms for kidnapping, sexual battery, and burglary. 

This baby-killer outlasted two of the prosecutors who nailed him, Rebecca's own dad, and four Florida governors since his first conviction. He even dodged a date with the needle in October 1989 when the state Supreme Court hit pause on four inmates the night before. Talk about nine lives.

The Death Penalty Information Center pegs the average death row stint at 20-24 years these days. Jennings' execution too forty-five. That's not justice; that's cruelty to victims' families. 

Gov. DeSantis, who's been on a tear with this, nailed it at a news conference on August 12, in Tampa: "Some of these crimes were committed in the '80s. Justice delayed is justice denied. I felt I owed it to [victims' families] to make sure this ran very smoothly. If I honestly thought someone was innocent, I would not pull the trigger." DeSantis gets it: The endless legal limbo isn't mercy; it's a middle finger to the Rebeccas of the world.

Back on May 11, 1979, Jennings, a 20-year-old Marine on leave, yanked the screen off a little girl's window, snatched her, raped her, beat her, and dumped her body in a canal where it turned up hours later. I hate the fact they called his military service into play. I'm a former Marine and this guy was a total disgrace to the uniform and the nation. 

[He will rot in hell.]

 Cops nabbed him that same day on a traffic infraction, and the evidence was a prosecutor's dream: He matched the neighbor's description, his shoe prints were at the scene, his fingerprints on the sill, his clothes and hair were soaked. Case closed, except for the four-decade sequel of appeals, including a fresh one claiming a right-to-counsel violation after his lawyer croaked in 2022.

Florida's racked up 122 executions since the Supreme Court greenlit capital punishment again in 1976, with over 250 souls still cooling their heels on death row. Before this year, the state maxed out at eight per calendar. DeSantis flipped the script because, as he sees it, enough is enough.

Two more executions are queued up: Richard Barry Randolph on Nov. 20, and Mark Allen Geralds on Dec. 9. If they go off without a hitch, Florida hits 18 for 2025. A veterans' group piped up this week begging for clemency for ex-military types on the row, fair point actually, only 12% of Florida's death row wore the uniform. But seven of the 18 executed or slated this year did serve, including Jennings. Doesn't change the math on monstrous crimes.

In the end, this isn't about vengeance; it's about closure. For Rebecca Kunash's family, it's 46 years late, but better than never. DeSantis is delivering what too many blue-state DAs won't: The scales balanced, one horror story at a time. If that's "extreme," sign me up.

ICE busts illegal Moldovan alian convicted of torture, murder via fenestration from 9th floor

Oh, joy. In a plot twist that even M. Night Shyamalan couldn't dream up, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has finally rounded up Victoria Sorocean, a Moldovan illegal alien and convicted killer whose idea of a good time apparently involved turning someone into a human piñata before yeeting them out a ninth-floor window. 

Victoria Sorocean was taken into custody in Los Angeles on Nov. 4 by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after authorities learned she had been convicted of premeditated murder with exceptional cruelty in 2013, ICE told Fox News on Tuesday.

According to DHS, Sorocean and an accomplice tortured their victim inside an apartment in Chisinau, Moldova, beating the person with a stick and electrical cable before throwing the victim out a ninth-floor window.

She was sentenced to 17 years in prison but fled the country to avoid serving her sentence. Smart move, Victoria, because nothing says "commitment issues" like dodging a Moldovan slammer by hopping a flight to the land of the free... and apparently the home of the thrown.

Sorocean was first arrested by ICE on Jan. 10, 2020, under the first Trump administration, but she later filed multiple legal appeals and asylum claims to delay removal, DHS said.Officials said she was ultimately released back into the U.S. in 2022 under the Biden administration. Ah, yes, the Biden era: where "catch and release" isn't just for fishermen, it's the official policy for folks who'd make Hannibal Lecter blush. Thanks to that genius stroke of compassion, our neighborhoods got an upgrade to "international fugitive flea market."

DHS said the case highlights the failures of the previous administration, which it said allowed millions of illegal aliens, including violent criminals and murderers like Sorocean, to roam free in American neighborhoods.

DHS slammed the Biden administration for releasing millions of illegal aliens, including violent criminals and murderers like Victoria Sorocean. 

"It shocks the conscience that the Biden administration released into America a cruel, violent illegal alien who tortured a human being, beat them with an electrical cable and a stick and then threw her victim from a ninth-floor window," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.

"These are the types of barbaric criminal illegal aliens ICE is targeting every single day," she added. "Seventy percent of all ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S."

"This does not even include foreign fugitives like this convicted murderer. Under President [Donald] Trump and Secretary [Kristi] Noem, the world’s criminals are no longer welcome in the U.S.," McLaughlin said.

Sorocean will remain in ICE custody pending deportation proceedings, DHS said. Fingers crossed she gets the express lane back to Moldova, Vmaybe with a complimentary parachute this time, just to keep things thematic. In the meantime, here's to the adults finally showing up to clean up the mess left by the folks who thought open borders were a feature, not a bug.

Baltimore’s MS-13 Nightmare: Three Thugs Nailed for Blood-Soaked Crimes

The concrete jungle of Baltimore just got a little safer, but not before three MS-13 savages left a trail of blood and terror that will haunt the city for years. A Maryland federal jury slammed the gavel on Wilson Arturo Constanza-Galdomez (aka Humilde, aka Marco Saravia, 26, from El Salvador), Edis Omar Valenzuela-Rodriguez (aka Little Felon, 24, from Honduras), and Jonathan Pesquera-Puerto (aka Truney, 24, from Honduras) for a rampage of racketeering, murders, and attempted murders that turned neighborhoods into killing fields. These crimes were a middle finger to humanity, capped by the gut-wrenching slaughter of a woman stabbed 143 times.

Court records read like a horror script. MS-13, the notorious transnational gang rooted in Central American immigrant communities, operates like a death cult. Its members, grouped in "cliques" like the Carlington Locos Salvatrucha and Huntington Criminales Locos Salvatrucha, climb the ranks by spilling blood. The rulebook’s simple: hunt and kill rivals—called "chavalas"—whenever you can. In Baltimore City and County, MS-13's beef with the 18th Street Gang fueled a vicious cycle of machetes and body bags.

"Over the course of a few short months, these defendants – seeking to be promoted within the ranks of the designated foreign terrorist organization MS-13 – spread fear through the streets of Baltimore by committing brutal and heinous acts, including the murder of two young women," said Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew R. Galeotti of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. "Today's verdict demonstrates the Department of Justice’s unwavering commitment to prosecuting MS-13 members to the fullest extent of the law in order to eradicate the transnational street gang, obtain a measure of justice for their victims, and restore the safety and security of our communities."

Constanza-Galdomez and Pesquera-Puerto ran with the Carlington crew, while Valenzuela-Rodriguez repped the Huntington clique. From June 2019 to at least October 2021, these guys were neck-deep in MS-13's dirty work: two murders, four attempted murders, and witness tampering to keep their reign of terror airtight.

"The MS-13 gang continues to show a total disregard for human life," said U.S. Attorney Kelly O. Hayes for the District of Maryland. "These defendants’ commitment to carrying out multiple vicious attacks and murders, including the killing a 16-year-old girl, is unconscionable. Members of this ruthless, international gang thrive on murdering and terrorizing others, and in this case, did so to advance their standing within this lawless organization. We, along with our law-enforcement partners, are committed to relentlessly pursuing and prosecuting those who commit these despicable crimes and dismantling the violent criminal organizations that terrorize our communities."

The carnage kicked off on April 25, 2020, when Constanza-Galdomez, Valenzuela-Rodriguez, and their MS-13 brothers targeted a man they pegged as a rival. They hunted him down in Baltimore, hacking at his face and arm with machetes, leaving him scarred but alive.“The defendants convicted today engaged in excessive and brutal violence as members of MS-13, a transnational criminal organization that routinely shows contempt for the rule of law,” said Assistant Director Jose A. Perez of the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division. "We are proud of the work that has taken these individuals off the streets so that they can no longer harm the community of the greater Baltimore area, and we will continue our nationwide efforts in thwarting MS-13."

On May 29, 2020, the gang's depravity hit a new low. They lured 16-year-old Gabriela Gonzalez-Ardon to a secluded spot near Loch Raven Reservoir in Cockeysville, Maryland, suspecting she was cozy with rival gang members. There, Constanza-Galdomez, Valenzuela-Rodriguez, Pesquera-Puerto, and their crew hacked her to death with machetes, her young life snuffed out to score points with MS-13's shot-callers.

A week later, on June 5, 2020, the same crew set their sights on Michelle Tenezaca, a woman they thought was a rival snitch. They lured her to the CSX Bayview Train Yard in Baltimore, where they unleashed hell—stabbing her 143 times and leaving her body by the tracks. Like clockwork, they bragged to MS-13’s higher-ups, chasing clout in their twisted world.

The horror didn't stop there. On June 6, 2020, Constanza-Galdomez, Valenzuela-Rodriguez, and their gang cornered a man and his girlfriend—the sister of one of their murder victims—at a Baltimore library. They ordered younger MS-13 members to drag the woman to the same train yard where Tenezaca died, where they stabbed her over 70 times. Meanwhile, the man was forced at knifepoint to Dundalk, where the gang tried to finish him off with a flurry of knife wounds. Miraculously, both survived.

The jury didn’t flinch. Constanza-Galdomez and Valenzuela-Rodriguez got hit with conspiracy to participate in a racketeering enterprise and two counts each of murder in aid of racketeering. Pesquera-Puerto was convicted of conspiracy and one count of murder in aid of racketeering. All three face mandatory life sentences, with a federal judge set to finalize their fate based on U.S. Sentencing Guidelines.

The FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, Baltimore City and County Police, and U.S. Marshals Service cracked this case wide open. Trial Attorneys Grace Bowen and Christopher Taylor, alongside Assistant U.S. Attorney James Wallner, are prosecuting, determined to bury these gangsters under the weight of justice.

This bloodbath is part of a bigger fight; Operation Take Back America, a nationwide DOJ push to crush cartels, transnational gangs like MS-13, and the violent crime tearing through our cities. These convictions send a message: no matter how sharp your machete, the law's reach is longer.

SHOCKER IN THE SUNSHINE STATE: TEEN MOM ON TRIAL FOR BABY’S DEATH SAID MURDER IS HER “FAVORITE” BIRTH CONTROL!

Brianne Moore, a 19-year-old college kid, is in the hot seat, charged with the unthinkable--killing her newborn baby girl and tossing her body in a dumpster like yesterday's leftovers. And if that isn't wild enough, text messages reveal Moore once bragged that her "favorite" birth control method was to "kill [the] kid." 

Now that's some evil stuff.

Let's rewind to April 2024. Moore, then a student at the University of Tampa, claims she had no clue she was pregnant, or maybe she was just playing the denial card hard. Picture this: she's in her dorm bathroom, water breaks, and boom, she's giving birth right there on the bathroom tiles. 

Hours later, the baby is dead, wrapped in a towel, and chucked into a MaKay Hall dumpster. This cold-blooded female seems to lack motherly instinct on some level. The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide caused by "asphyxia due to compression of the torso with rib fractures." 

But there's more. 

Seven months before this horror show, Moore was texting a guy named Quasim from her home state of Mississippi. The topic was about birth control options that sound like they came straight out of a true crime podcast.

 
Check out this exchange, per CourtTV:

Moore: "hey man sometimes you need a plan c"
Quasim: "plan a was condoms
plan b was the pill
plan c was to kill thr [sic] kid"
Moore: "plan c is my favorite"

I really don't care what anyone says; this is sick and goes against human nature.

Moore's lawyer, Jonah Dickstein, is screaming "context, people!" He says these texts were just casual banter about abortion laws, not a murder manifesto. Oh, and Quasim? Not the baby daddy, so don’t go there.

Moore's story was that she woke up on April 27, 2024, water breaking, totally shocked she was pregnant, [in spite of the fact that she was sexually active and likely didn't use birth control]. After popping out the baby in secret, she claims she laid the little girl down, took a shower (because priorities, apparently), and then noticed the baby wasn’t moving. No heartbeat, no cries. Moore says she panicked, took a nap (yes, a nap), and when the baby still wasn't breathing, she wrapped her up and dumped her outside.

So she didn't panic initially after the shower because she took a nap. It was only after she woke up that she noticed the girl was still not breathing, if you believe her.

The autopsy paints a darker picture: small hemorrhages in the baby's lungs and those nasty rib fractures. Now Moore’s staring down a 30-year sentence, slapped with charges like aggravated manslaughter of a child, child neglect, failure to report a death, and improper handling of human remains. 

Her trial's been pushed to March, so we’re all left hanging on this chilling case. Was Moore a scared teen in over her head, or is there something sinister behind that "plan c" text? 

This is going to be an interesting case to follow, but I suspect she'll never do 30 years, even though she deserves to.

What are your thoughts?

Crickets when Muslims kill Christians, Hindus, Druze and Jews, but there's screaming when Jews defend themselves

This is what Hamas wants to see

Isn't it bewildering how the geniuses at Ivy League schools like Columbia and Harvard demonstrate in the streets and on campuses in support of barbaric extremists who seek to destroy Israel, even after the Jewish States was attacked on October 7, 2023 by Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and others? They believe that they are the virtuous ones all while hiding their Jew hatred. Some hide it from themselves, some don't hide it at all.

No matter what "the Jews" do, they are always in the wrong. Even the attack on young people dancing at a music festival, killing 378 individuals, 344 who were civilians and 34 security personnel, according to The Times of Israel, wasn't enough to gain the sympathy of the haters. 

Then there was the kidnapping of 251 individuals, 221 of whom were civilians including foreign nationals, 24 soldiers, and Negev Bedouins.

The breakdown of the captives: 92 women and 36 children were among the hostages, including 9-month-old Kfir Bibas and his 4-year-old brother Ariel along with their mother, Shiri. There was another baby under a year old but the exact identity is not revealed.

Several elderly people were also kidnapped but the exact numbers vary.

But somehow it was the fault of the Jews, the so called 'occupiers' of a land they occupied before the geo-political religion of Islam was invented by a man who terrorized the Middle East, committed pedophilia, and hated the Jews.

Israel has been accused of genocide by the same dolts and propagandists who either hide the truth or refuse to see it. In the year Israel gained its independence, 1948, the non-Jewish population (mostly Arab Muslims, Arab Christians and Druze) was 156,000, By 1970, this population nearly tripled and by 1970 had climbed to 1,413,900. By 2015 it reached 2,078,000 and last year hit 2,653,000. If that's genocide, then we need to change the definition.

On the other hand, when you look at the countries in the Middle East, there are no Jews in most of them and so few in others you can get them all on a bus and head them out to Israel for relative safety.

Meanwhile, there are terrorist atrocities going on in the world like the ones perpetrated by Hamas against Israel and not one large US protest, to my knowledge, has taken place.

Just last month, on April 22nd, there was a jihadi attack at Pahalgam in the Jammu-Kashmir district in which 25 people were murdered and 20 injured. Most of the victims were tourists, one was Christian the others Hindu. There were no cries or demands for retribution at Columbia, Harvard or at any campus or street corner. Crickets.

In Nigeria during Easter, over 72 Christians were slaughtered by Muslims during a church service and earlier that month, over 60 Christians were murdered in the Plateau State. Again, nobody said 'boo.'

And we all know about the Syrian Civil War that began in 2011 that nobody at home here protested in spite of the fact that between 580,000 to 656,493 people were killed, as per the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR). The groups we know that were responsible was ISIS, al-Qaeda affiliates such as Jabhat al Nusra and Hayat Tahrir al Sham. 

Still the silence was deafening.

But boy oh boy, when Israel returns fire at missile launch sites that are embedded in civilian areas, and Hamas' human shields are killed or injured, it's the fault of the Jews. 

What are they supposed to do when fired upon? After all, they even warn civilians when the IAF plans to strike a building in Gaza, which probably gave the terrorists time to move hostages. 

People feel sympathy for dead Jews and hatred for the living ones. 

Jews are hated when they're poor; they're hated when they're rich. They are hated when they have no place to go--"those wandering Jews"--and they're hated when they have their Biblical land returned to them.

And the biggest haters of them all are the extremist Muslims. They will come for the Jews now and come for everyone else later if we sit back and watch.

Compromised News Network blasted for "journalistic malfeasance" for Taylor Lorenz fawning over an alleged murderer

In spite of the fact that we all saw Luigi Mangione on a CCTV camera shoot Brian Thompson in the back, something only a would do, there is a handful of people who see him as some sort of hero for killing the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. 

But the Left has lost all sense of morality in the service of virtue signaling, and the media is complicit in this trend. 

Media watchdogs are flabbergasted that CNN, [aka the Communist News Network; aka Compromised News Network] has given a platform to Leftist lunatic Taylor Lorenz, the ex-Washington Post "reporter" who got all moist and heated discussing the murdering coward in an interview special "The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper." The piece was labeled "MisinfoNation: Extreme America," and focused on extremism's rise across the country.

The host of this leftist lunacy, Donie O’Sullivan, largely focused on far-Right figures but lumped in supporters of Mangione, who has emerged as a folk hero among the far-Left after he was arrested for the murder of Mr. Thompson, with some viewing it as retribution for the health insurance industry.

Sure, killing this man, the husband of Paulette Thompson and the father of two sons, ages 16 and 19, deserved to die because he headed an insurance company whose policies were not aligned with what Leftists believe they should be. In fact, if insurance companies aligned with the ideology of the Left, there would be no insurance policies because like any business in America, they are designed to make a profit. This is not to say that changes can be made to help those who need it most, but to kill a person for this is evil, and Taylor Lorenz deserves to lose all credibility as a human being.

During the macabre CNN primetime special Lorenz showed herself to be one of Mangione’s most outspoken supporters and actually expressed "joy," yes, joy, that this scumbag murderer brought attention to issues involving the healthcare industry, and she defended her stance.

"It’s hilarious to see these millionaire media pundits on TV clutching their pearls about someone stanning a murderer when this is the United States of America, as if we don’t lionize criminals," Lorenz told O’Sullivan.

"As if we don’t star murderers of all sorts. And we give them Netflix shows. There’s a huge disconnect between the narratives and angles a certain mainstream media pushes and what the American public feels, and you see that in moments like this," Lorenz continued before touting an audience boost for her Substack publication due to her sympathetic writings about Mangione.

Lorenz then tried to explain why the alleged murder appeals to women [especially Leftist women, especially her].

"Here’s this man who’s a revolutionary, who’s famous, who’s handsome, who’s young, who’s smart, he’s a person who seems like he’s this morally good man, which is hard to find," Lorenz said, prompting laughter from the CNN reporter.

Fox News contributor Joe Concha couldn't believe what he saw on the segment aired on CNN.

"The executives who greenlit this idea to give a lunatic like Taylor Lorenz a platform in primetime should be fired," Concha told Fox News Digital.

"As should the host who nodded along, and laughed in agreement when she complimented a cold-blooded murderer and coward like Luigi Mangione," Concha continued. "And the fact that he’s getting any praise for this, and the fact that CNN platformed somebody who appears to support him, is journalistic malfeasance."

Tim Young of Heritage Foundation Media called the clown show "morally repugnant."

"It would make sense that a morally repugnant person would support another morally repugnant person. It also makes sense that a morally repugnant network would support not only Lorenz, but air her opinion that Mangione is morally good," Young told Fox News Digital.

"This is the modern left -- if they disagree with your opinion, they want you eliminated from society by any means necessary," Young continued. "As much as I and other conservative critics of media and the left dislike opinions and actions, I could never imagine wishing physical harm on them. It’s low, it’s disgusting, and it has no place in American society."

I could go on but you get the drift. Taylor Lorenz is an execrable attention-whore and CNN is the house where people like her have an anti-American platform.

Wake Up Europe: mother and her 2-year-old die in car-ramming jihad in Munich

A two-year-old girl and her mother have died after a car was rammed into a group of people in Munich, Germany on Thursday.

The mother, 37, was from Munich. She and her daughter are the first reported deaths from the jihad attack police confirmed.

At least 36 others were injured that Thursday morning when the car plowed into a crowd of bystanders taking part in a trade union demonstration.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz uselessly urged Germans to "stand together" as he laid flowers at the scene on Saturday.

Scholz said: "We all have to stand together now, make sure that our country sticks together and that the very values that united those who peacefully organized a rally here and held a march are united with those who helped here, namely that we are together as human beings."

A 24-year-old Afghan Muslim known as Farhad N [because they don't give his last name to avoid putting him in any danger] was detained at the scene. 

The suspect, a rejected asylum-seeker, has lived in Munich since he arrived as an unaccompanied minor in 2016. Although his asylum application was rejected, he lived in Germany legally with a residence permit and had no previous convictions because he was evidently "laying low" waiting for the opportunity to commit jihad.

He is being investigated for 36 counts of attempted murder, as well as bodily harm and dangerous interference with road traffic.

Prosecutors said he appeared to have had an Islamic extremist motive, though there was no evidence he was connected to any radical network. But since when does a jihadi need to be 'connected to a radical network' when jihad itself is radical and has been since Mohammed was beheading Jews for refusing to convert?

The attack got people to remove their heads from their nether regions as it fueled more debate in Germany about migration. It has finally become a top concern among voters as they head to the polls next week to elect a new government. It's possible Germany may end up "doing a Trump" when they vote.

It sent shockwaves through the southern German city just hours before international leaders touched down for the annual Munich Security Conference.

A judge on Friday ordered that the suspect remain in custody pending a possible charge.

Chancellor Scholz said: "It must always be very clear - anyone who does something like that must expect the harshest penalties."

He added: "And of course, if he has no right of stay, he will also have to leave the country at the end of his sentence."

Let's see.

Compromised News Network's Kaitlan Collins deletes her post promoting alleged murderer Luigi Mangione's defense fund

The CNN Jim Acosta replacement and chief White House 'correspondent' Kaitlin "Lips" Collins likely deleted a social media post after getting mucho blowback for promoting a defense fund for a scumcrumpet who was seen on video shooting Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare.

In the post on X, "Lips" showed a link to a website launched by defense lawyers for Mangione. He faces charges of first-degree murder in furtherance of an act of terrorism, stalking along with other state and federal charges in Pennsylvania and New York, where the crime occurred. The shooting of Thompson, a husband and father of two young children, took place in Manhattan last year on December 4.

Brian Thompson being shot in the back by a coward

Mangione, a smug, 26-year-old comes from a wealthy Maryland family. He was arrested at a McDonald’s in Altoona, PA., on Dec. 9 after a multi-state manhunt.

Following his arrest, immoral followers donated over $300,000 for his legal defense, mainly due to their hatred of American big business, the health care industry, and the fact that he's a fairly good-looking alleged murderer.

Collins’ post garnered criticism from a number of users on X, including The Spectator contributing editor Stephen L. Miller who posted on X: "Real bottom of the barrel stuff. Even for @kaitlancollins,"

He also called Collins out for deleting the post with “no explanation,” saying, “guess it wasn’t White House correspondent related.”

Smug thug pose

WMAL host Larry O’Connor also had something to say about  the situation. He said that  [Collins] “used her considerable platform to promote a link for the defense fund of a cold-blooded killer.”

Yeah, but he's cute when he's angry, right?

Brian Thompson's wife and children

“She has not yet apologized nor has she posted anything else in 24 hours,” he added.

New York Times best-selling author Jack Posobiec  shared his take on Collins’ X post.

“CNN’s Kaitlan Collins promotes Luigi Mangione’s legal defense fund after Mangione [was] shown on video murdering a man in cold blood,” he posted Saturday.

Some folks on X have also suggested Collins should lose her press credentials and access to the White House.

Anyway, I call what Collins did "doing a Kamala."

Illegal alien charged with setting sleeping woman on fire, pleads not guilty

El Scumbaggio

It happened on the F train in Brooklyn's Coney Island Stillwell Avenue station, on a train this writer has taken thousands of times. 

Sebastion Zapeta, 33, an illegal alien from Guatemala, allegedly [he is seen on video] lit a sleeping woman on fire, fanned the flames with his coat, and watched as she burned to death. He pleaded not guilty to murder and arson charges Tuesday.

The illegal alien was indicted on one count of first-degree murder, three counts of second-degree murder, and arson. Prosecutors said that he fanned the flames before sitting down to watch her burn as police and a subway worker tried to put out the fire.

According to court documents, Zapeta later told detectives he was in a drunken blackout during the attack. It's as if alcohol kills people just like guns do, and forks make people fat. 

"I am very sorry. I didn't mean to. But I really don't know, I don't know what happened, but I'm very sorry for that woman," he allegedly told detectives, according to a transcript from his interrogation translated from Spanish to English.

How did he not mean to burn her alive? He even fanned the damn flames.

Zapeta listened through an interpreter but remained silent during the 4-minute hearing. His lawyer, at the end, said his client needed medical attention, but additional details were not immediately available. It's possible that he got burned standing too close to his victim while fanning the flames. Poor guy.

The judge ordered him held without bail.

Zapeta entered the U.S. illegally in 2018 and was deported. Like so many Democratic hopeful voters, he returned to the U.S. at an unknown time and slithered to New York City. On December 22, he allegedly lit the sleeping Debrina Kawam, 57, on fire. She was from Toms River, New Jersey.

She was so badly burned it took over a week to identify her remains.

Zapeta told detectives he was drunk at the time of the slaying and often blacked out between his home and the subway platform or vice versa, trying to use that as an excuse for his actions.

"Sometimes, when I drink and erase the memory, and I don't known right?" he said, according to the transcript. "When I wake up, I'm already in the house, already sleeping. I wake up when I'm already at home. Or there are times when I wake up, and I'm already at the train station…or on the train…"

He's using the "Wolfman Excuse" it seems, but it doesn't excuse what he did.

You can read the transcript of Zapeta's interview with detectives:

Mayor Eric Adams (D) said surveillance video of the attack was so twisted he couldn't finish watching it.

According to the transcript, detectives played the clip for Zapeta and he claimed that he didn't remember any of it. He did, however, allegedly admit it showed him on the screen.

It seems like the guy's cognition to use a cigarette lighter to immolate the poor lady, and then fan the flames to ensure it would engulf her, demonstrates that he was sentient enough to know what he was doing and his blackout story is garbage, in my opinion.

"As the train pulled into the station, the suspect calmly walked up to the victim," New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters at a news briefing. "The suspect used what we believe to be a lighter to ignite the victim’s clothing, which became fully engulfed in a matter of seconds."

Then the man walked out of the car to a nearby waiting bench, sat down, and watched as help arrived, albeit too late.

 Responding officers were already in the station, and a transit worker grabbed a fire extinguisher. The suspect even appeared on body-cam video, Tisch said.

The suspect was arrested after three teenagers riding another subway train recognized him from a wanted poster and called 911. He was taken into custody at the next stop.

Zapeta faces a maximum sentence of life without the possibility of parole if convicted. Too bad for him that by the time his court date rolls around, Biden will be out of office and will not be able to pardon him. Maybe Biden can do it preemptively.

The suspect is due back in court on March 12.
