President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter who asked if he was \u201ctrying to go to war with Chicago,\u201d after he posted a meme portraying the city as an Apocalypse Now\u2013style war zone.<\/p>\n
During a terse exchange, the reporter asked the president about the meme, which depicted Chicago burning with a caption: \u201cI love the smell of deportations in the morning. Chicago about to find out why it\u2019s called the Department of WAR.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you threatening to go to war with Chicago?\u201d NBC News White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor as Trump was leaving the White House en route to the US Open in New York City.<\/p>\n
Be quiet, listen!\u201d Trump said. \u201cYou don\u2019t listen! You never listen. That\u2019s why you\u2019re second-rate. We\u2019re not going to war we\u2019re gonna clean up our cities. We\u2019re gonna. Clean them up, so they don\u2019t kill five people every weekend. That\u2019s not war, that\u2019s common sense.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another reporter then pressed Trump on why he planned to send troops to Chicago when other cities report higher crime rates.<\/p>\n
\u201cExcuse me, do you know how many people were killed in Chicago last weekend?\u201d Trump said. \u201cEight. Do you know many people who were killed, were killed in Chicago the week before? Seven. Do you how many were wounded? Seventy-four people were wounded. You think there\u2019s worse than that? I don\u2019t think so.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last Friday, Trump signed an executive order restoring the Pentagon\u2019s pre\u2013World War II name, the Department of War.<\/p>\n
In recent days, he has hinted at deploying the National Guard to Chicago to combat crime, as he did in Washington, D.C., where he went further last month by assuming control of the Metropolitan Police Department.<\/p>\n
Trump has also suggested sending troops to Baltimore and New Orleans, both of which have higher murder rates than Chicago but fewer total homicides.<\/p>\n
Questions remain over whether Trump can legally deploy the National Guard to cities without a governor\u2019s consent. Illinois and Maryland \u2014 both run by Democrats seen as possible 2028 contenders \u2014 have been mentioned as potential targets, while Louisiana is under Republican control.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s authority suffered a setback earlier this month when a federal judge ruled he broke the law by sending the Guard to Los Angeles during recent riots. But that ruling seems dubious given that other presidents have deployed National Guard troops under similar circumstances in the past.<\/p>\n
The ruling is also under appeal by the administration and is likely to wind up at the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n
Last month, Trump declared an emergency and dispatched federal agents and National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., an action that has seen a noticable drop in crime following a surge of arrests.<\/p>\n
In fact, the move has been so successful that Washington, D.C., Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered the city to continue working with federal law enforcement officers, even after Trump\u2019s takeover is set to expire next week.<\/p>\n
Bowser signed the order Tuesday, saying that city officials will \u201censure coordination with federal law enforcement to the maximum extent allowable by law within the District\u201d even when the public safety emergency Trump proclaimed over crime in D.C. last month ends. The order has no expiration date and takes effect right away.<\/p>\n
In a statement posted on social media, Bowser said that she issued the order \u201cto provide the pathway forward beyond the Presidential emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump administration officials said in the weeks since their takeover, more than 1,000 people have been arrested in D.C.<\/p>\n
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has confirmed that the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk is being treated as an ideologically motivated attack, with investigators probing whether the alleged assassin acted alone or as part of a broader network.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Fox News\u2019 \u201cAmerica\u2019s Newsroom,\u201d Bongino stated, \u201cIf this was a larger effort, if there was any aiding and abetting\u2026 we\u2019re looking into that.\u201d<\/p>\n
He emphasized that the FBI is committed to leaving \u201cno stone unturned\u201d in its investigation, underscoring the seriousness with which the agency is approaching the case.<\/p>\n
Bongino revealed that the suspect had been \u201ctaken over\u201d by leftist ideology leading up to the shooting, indicating a potential radicalization process.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Director noted that the suspect had become increasingly withdrawn and politically active before the attack, raising concerns about the influence of extremist ideologies.<\/p>\n
Investigators are examining the suspect\u2019s online activity and affiliations with left-wing groups to determine if there were any coordinated efforts behind the assassination.<\/p>\n
Bongino confirmed that the FBI is reviewing video footage showing the gunman leaping from a rooftop after the fatal shot, which has been critical in advancing the investigation.<\/p>\n
He highlighted that the forensic evidence gathered from the scene has provided significant leads, aiding in the identification and apprehension of the suspect.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Director stated that the FBI is also looking into any financial transactions or communications that may indicate support or planning from external sources.<\/p>\n
Bongino condemned the act as an attack on free speech and political discourse, emphasizing the importance of protecting conservative voices in the public sphere.<\/p>\n
He called for unity among Americans in denouncing political violence, regardless of ideological affiliation, to preserve the integrity of democratic institutions.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Director acknowledged the emotional impact of the assassination on the conservative community but urged restraint and due process in the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n
Bongino reiterated the FBI\u2019s commitment to transparency and accountability, assuring the public that all leads are being thoroughly investigated.<\/p>\n
He expressed confidence that the agency would uncover the full scope of the plot and bring those responsible to justice.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Director noted that the investigation is ongoing and that further updates will be provided as new information becomes available.<\/p>\n
Bongino emphasized the need for vigilance and awareness among the public to prevent similar incidents in the future.<\/p>\n
He urged individuals to report any suspicious activity or information that could aid in the investigation.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Director highlighted the role of community cooperation in combating extremism and ensuring public safety.<\/p>\n
Bongino acknowledged the challenges posed by online radicalization but reaffirmed the FBI\u2019s dedication to addressing these threats.<\/p>\n
He called for a balanced approach that respects civil liberties while effectively countering extremist ideologies.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Director commended the efforts of law enforcement agencies at all levels in responding to the assassination and supporting the investigation.<\/p>\n
Bongino expressed gratitude for the assistance of federal, state, and local partners in gathering intelligence and resources.<\/p>\n
He noted that the collaboration between agencies has been instrumental in advancing the investigation and ensuring a comprehensive response.<\/p>\n
BREAKING: The FBI Launches Criminal Investigation Into..<\/p>\n
It\u2019s finally happening.<\/p>\n
John Brennan and James Comey\u2014two of the most powerful Obama-era intelligence chiefs\u2014are now facing criminal investigations.<\/p>\n
Their role in pushing the fabricated Trump-Russia collusion narrative derailed a presidency and deceived the nation.<\/p>\n
Sources inside the Justice Department confirm that former CIA Director Brennan is under investigation for allegedly lying to Congress.<\/p>\n
Ex-FBI Director Comey is also the subject of an ongoing probe.<\/p>\n
Their roles in the origin and manipulation of the Trump-Russia hoax are being scrutinized, years after millions of Americans demanded accountability.<\/p>\n
Brennan is accused of pushing the phony Steele dossier into official intelligence assessments.<\/p>\n
CIA Russia experts warned the document was so flawed it didn\u2019t meet even \u201cthe most basic tradecraft standards.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJasmine Crockett didn\u2019t just insult Trump,\u201d Leavitt said during her White House briefing. \u201cShe smeared over 70 million Americans who believe in freedom, God, secure borders, and the Constitution. Calling them mentally ill is not just false\u2014it\u2019s dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brennan ignored the warnings and formalized his demand in writing, insisting the fake dossier be included anyway.<\/p>\n
James Comey, for his part, did the same.<\/p>\n
The CIA\u2019s review makes clear: FBI leadership under Comey pressured the intelligence community to embed the Steele dossier in their final report on Russian election interference.<\/p>\n
The FBI \u201crepeatedly pushed\u201d for its inclusion.<\/p>\n
These two didn\u2019t just make bad calls. They rigged the process.<\/p>\n
Even worse, Brennan later told Congress under oath that the Steele dossier \u201cwasn\u2019t part of the corpus of intelligence\u201d used in the Russia assessment.<\/p>\n
But a newly surfaced email shows that he pushed the dossier hard, despite being warned it could destroy the report\u2019s credibility.<\/p>\n
And why did they push it so aggressively? Because it wasn\u2019t about national security.<\/p>\n
It was about kneecapping President Trump before he was even sworn in.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was Obama, Comey, Clapper, and Brennan deciding, \u2018We\u2019re going to screw Trump,\u2019\u201d former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe told the press.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey all knew what they were doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Millions of tax dollars were wasted. Reputations were destroyed.<\/p>\n
\u201cJasmine Crockett should visit a Trump rally before shooting her mouth off,\u201d Leavitt challenged.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019ll meet grandmothers, veterans, farmers, teachers, truckers\u2014all proud Americans who just want their country back. These are the people she called mentally ill. What an absolute disgrace.\u201d<\/p>\n
And for what? To push Hillary Clinton\u2019s opposition research as gospel truth.<\/p>\n
Clinton and the DNC paid Fusion GPS to dig up dirt.<\/p>\n
Fusion hired British ex-spy Christopher Steele. Steele gave them fiction.<\/p>\n
Senator Josh Hawley demanded action: \u201cIf Brennan and Comey lied to Congress or weaponized their agencies against a political opponent, they should be prosecuted\u2014no exceptions, no excuses.\u201d<\/p>\n
This scandal is bigger than Watergate.<\/p>\n
It poisoned public trust, warped the 2016 election aftermath, and set the tone for years of baseless attacks on a sitting president.<\/p>\n
The investigations are underway.<\/p>\n
The investigation into the shocking assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has intensified, with the FBI now probing multiple left-wing groups in Utah for possible prior knowledge of the crime.According to reports from Axios and Fox News, federal authorities are pursuing leads that suggest the suspected gunman, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, may have been influenced by ideological hostility toward Kirk\u2019s views on transgenderism and other cultural issues.The widening probe has raised serious questions about potential networks of support, as investigators try to determine whether Robinson acted entirely on his own or if he was aided in some way.Fox News first reported Saturday morning that Robinson was living with a \u201ctransgender partner\u201d prior to the killing, a claim later corroborated by multiple outlets. Public records identified the roommate as 22-year-old Lance Twiggs, who resided at the same St. George, Utah address as Robinson.Family members described Twiggs as the \u201cblack sheep\u201d of their family, though they declined to speculate on political affiliations. A relative told the New York Post that they were unaware of Twiggs\u2019 politics or gender identity journey, but admitted that nothing would surprise them given Twiggs\u2019 estrangement.Neighbors offered more direct testimony. One neighbor reported having seen Robinson and Twiggs kissing and holding hands in public.Another recalled a suspicious scene just two weeks before the assassination, when several people driving cars with out-of-state plates visited the residence. \u201cThey did not give off a good vibe,\u201d the neighbor told reporters.Investigators now believe Robinson\u2019s anger at Kirk\u2019s positions on transgenderism\u2014positions he allegedly viewed as \u201chateful\u201d toward Twiggs\u2014may have provided the key motive.<\/p>\n
Six sources familiar with the investigation told Axios that authorities are focusing heavily on this angle. Each of those sources also confirmed that investigators believe Robinson and Twiggs were in a romantic relationship, information that law enforcement initially preferred to keep private while Twiggs cooperated fully.Twiggs reportedly expressed shock upon learning of Robinson\u2019s actions. When approached by authorities, Twiggs allegedly exclaimed, \u201cThat\u2019s what happened? Oh my God, no,\u201d before voluntarily handing over electronic messages sent by Robinson.Among the retrieved messages, one stood out. Robinson, using the name \u201cTyler,\u201d confessed to discarding the bolt-action rifle used in the assassination in a wooded area near Utah Valley University.He also suggested the weapon would need to be retrieved. Utah Governor Spencer Cox confirmed the existence of this communication at a Friday press conference.The discarded rifle has become a central piece of evidence. Authorities said Robinson had wrapped it in cloth and abandoned it in a wooded patch not far from where Kirk had been scheduled to appear for a debate. Robinson\u2019s DNA has since been matched to items at the scene, further cementing the case against him.The recovered messages between Robinson and Twiggs reveal a chilling level of detail about the crime. In addition to the rifle\u2019s location, Robinson described his intent to make a political statement through the attack.On shell casings later retrieved, investigators found engravings that read \u201chey fascist, catch\u201d and another referencing an Italian communist song long associated with Antifa-linked groups.Beyond the personal relationship between Robinson and Twiggs, the FBI is turning its attention to whether organized groups in Utah may have had prior knowledge of the plot.<\/p>\n
According to Axios, federal and state law enforcement are investigating several left-wing groups in the state, with particular focus on one organization that abruptly deleted its social media presence in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.Authorities are examining whether these groups may have influenced Robinson\u2019s thinking, provided material support, or offered encouragement for his plans.While no conclusive evidence has been released publicly, investigators are leaving no stone unturned. \u201cWe are treating every lead with the utmost seriousness,\u201d one source told Axios.Accounts from those close to Robinson suggest a steady drift toward political radicalization. Friends said he had grown \u201cincreasingly political\u201d in recent years, often vocalizing resentment toward conservative figures.Family members noted he had even expressed interest in attending an upcoming debate featuring Kirk at Utah Valley University, a detail now viewed with chilling hindsight.Governor Cox confirmed that Robinson had recently engaged in a conversation in which someone told him Kirk \u201cwas spreading hate and was full of hate.\u201d Investigators believe such sentiments may have fueled his anger and helped push him over the edge.The revelation of Robinson\u2019s relationship with Twiggs has added another complex layer to the case.<\/p>\n
Authorities are trying to determine how much Twiggs knew in advance and whether the relationship may have intensified Robinson\u2019s hostility toward Kirk.While Twiggs has cooperated fully with investigators, handing over messages and sitting for interviews, his connection to Robinson raises unavoidable questions.One neighbor\u2019s account of seeing the two men display affection in public has further fueled speculation that Kirk\u2019s outspoken views on gender and sexuality could have provided Robinson with a personal motive in addition to political resentment.At a Friday news conference, Governor Cox condemned the assassination while acknowledging the investigation\u2019s troubling revelations. He confirmed that Robinson had boasted in writing to his roommate about discarding the rifle and expressed disgust that such violence had taken place in Utah.\u201cWe are deeply saddened, and frankly horrified, that something like this has happened in our state,\u201d Cox said. \u201cWe will pursue the truth wherever it leads. We will not allow violent extremism, from any direction, to take root in Utah.\u201dIn St. George, where Robinson lived, the community is reeling from the fallout. Neighbors described the young man as withdrawn and difficult to read, though some recalled recent political outbursts.\u201cHe used to be quiet,\u201d one neighbor told local reporters. \u201cBut lately, he was angrier. You could hear it in his voice when he talked about politics.\u201dOthers said they were not surprised to learn he had been radicalized online. \u201cThere\u2019s so much toxic stuff out there,\u201d another neighbor said. \u201cPeople get sucked in and it changes them. It\u2019s sad, but it\u2019s real.\u201dThe assassination has already set off a firestorm in Washington, where lawmakers are trading accusations over political rhetoric and its consequences.Conservatives argue that years of vilifying Trump supporters as fascists have contributed to a climate where violence against figures like Kirk becomes imaginable. Progressives counter that right-wing extremism has also fueled violence, pointing to incidents such as the January 6th Capitol attack.<\/p>\n
The FBI\u2019s focus on left-wing groups in Utah will undoubtedly add more fuel to the debate. If authorities uncover evidence of coordination or foreknowledge, it could spark calls for designating such groups as domestic terror threats, an idea already endorsed by figures like President Donald Trump.The Kirk assassination has quickly evolved from a tragic crime into a national flashpoint. Beyond the grief and shock, the case has become a lens through which Americans are debating radicalization, political speech, and extremism.The FBI\u2019s probe into Utah-based left-wing groups underscores the complexity of the threat environment, where ideological violence can emerge from multiple directions.<\/p>\n
For investigators, the priority remains clear: determining who knew what, and when. For the public, the case raises sobering questions about the corrosive effect of rhetoric, the dangers of online radicalization, and the fragile state of American political life.The FBI investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk has broadened significantly, now encompassing multiple left-wing groups in Utah and a close examination of the suspect\u2019s personal and romantic ties.Evidence, including electronic messages and engraved shell casings, paints a picture of a politically motivated attack fueled by resentment toward Kirk\u2019s outspoken cultural views.While authorities have not yet confirmed whether organized groups had prior knowledge or involvement, the probe highlights the urgent need to confront political violence in all its forms.As investigators pursue leads and the nation watches closely, one truth remains clear: the killing of Charlie Kirk has become more than an isolated act of violence. It is a national reckoning with the consequences of hatred, division, and extremism in American life.<\/p>\n
Now the question is, will the justice system do its job, or will the same people who buried the truth for years bury it again?<\/p>\n
Brennan and Comey must be held accountable.<\/p>\n
No one is above the law, not even the architects of one of the most dishonest political smear campaigns in American history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
