Two Suspects Arrested After Famous Musician and His Family Are Murdered in Mexico

Two suspects were arrested for the murder of rock band keyboardist Jonathan Meléndez and several others, including his wife and child, according to a social media post from Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum.

“In a joint operation by Fiscalía General de Justicia del Estado de México, Secretaría de Seguridad y Protección Ciudadana, and Policía Ciudad de México, two men were arrested on suspicion of being responsible for the homicide of four people,” the Facebook post, translated from Spanish, read.

“Among the victims is a pregnant woman and a minor. The incidents occurred yesterday in Atizapán de Zaragoza, State of Mexico,” the message continued.

“Investigations established that one of the arrested individuals was a partner of one of the victims. He allegedly took advantage of that trust to break into the residence.
“The coordination between the authorities of the State of Mexico, Mexico City, and the Government of Mexico allowed for the location and arrest of both suspects in less than 12 hours.

“In the face of a crime of this magnitude, the authorities acted immediately and in a coordinated manner,” the statement concluded. “The two suspects are already in custody and will be turned over to justice.”

Philippines Issues Arrest Warrant for VP Sara Duterte for Threatening to Kill President Again

A Philippine trial court on Friday issued an arrest warrant for Vice President Sara Duterte, in connection with charges against her for threatening the life of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and others.

Duterte faces three counts of issuing “grave threats” against the president, his wife Liza Araneta-Marcos, and his cousin Martin Romualdez, who was speaker of the Philippine House at the time she made the threats in November 2024.

Vice-President Duterte, the daughter of former president Rodrigo Duterte, came into office in June 2022 as the running mate of another political scion, the son of former president Ferdinand Marcos. They took their oaths of office together as political allies whose landslide election victories would help to heal deep political divisions in the country.

Their political narrative was also one of redemption for controversial parents, as the elder Ferdinand Marcos was a notorious dictator, while Rodrigo Duterte faces allegations of crimes against humanity for his brutal war on drugs.

The Marcos-Duterte alliance broke down rather quickly amid bitter disagreements over major issues, including relations with China and the United States. President Marcos is pro-American, while Duterte leans strongly toward China. They also disagreed over constitutional reforms, peace talks with communist rebels, and independence for the island of Mindanao, the home turf of the Duterte dynasty.

Leftist Podcaster Arrested for Threats to Kill President Donald Trump

Federal agents have arrested Los Angeles-based leftist podcaster Benjamin Azariah Southworth at his Westlake home Thursday on a grand jury indictment charging him with threatening to kill President Donald Trump, cyberstalking, and making harassing interstate telephone calls.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli announced that the 40-year-old is accused of posting videos calling for the president’s assassination, then targeting the family of Trump’s personal attorney by publishing a home address and phone numbers and leaving voicemails that justice would “come to your door.”

Essayli said in a post on X, “Threats against the President of the United States are federal crimes. We will not tolerate threats of political violence in the United States. My office will prosecute anyone who crosses that line to the fullest extent of the law.”

According to charging papers obtained by the New York Post, prosecutors say Southworth used Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok from January through May to call for Trump’s death and later claimed some of it was “just rhetoric.”

An April 7 Instagram video cited in the case includes the lines, “I have been vocal in calling for the execution of Donald Trump. This government is illegitimate and out of control. It’s time for course correction. Kill Donald Trump.”

Other posts and texts quoted by prosecutors include statements that he wanted Trump and “his minions dead” and a March video repeating the call to kill the president.

ICE overrode judge’s decision blocking José Serrano’s removal.

Armed Trump Golf Course Suspect Had Startling Details on Melania and the Secret Service

An armed man arrested at President Donald Trump’s California golf course earlier this month allegedly possessed hundreds of pages of notes containing information about First Lady Melania Trump’s schedule, U.S. Secret Service personnel and security arrangements, according to reports presented during a Los Angeles County court hearing, as reported by Fox News.

Jeanine John Taele, 38, was arrested Aug. 2 at Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, days before President Trump was scheduled to visit the property.

According to The Associated Press, Taele had more than 200 pages of writings, including schedules for the first lady and members of the president’s Secret Service detail.

Prosecutors also said Taele possessed seven notebooks containing 208 pages of drawings and sketches of the golf course, lists of Secret Service schedules, information about individual security personnel and copies of Melania Trump’s schedule.

The writings reportedly also contained detailed lists concerning how to survive “off the grid.”

Los Angeles County Judge John Lonergan Jr. described the allegations as “alarming” during a hearing Wednesday.

“This case itself is alarming in this day and age with the violence that is creeping into our everyday lives, especially with our partisanship in the political environment” ahead of the midterms, Lonergan said, according to the AP.

Israeli PM Netanyahu claims Iran tried to assassinate his son

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Iran of trying to assassinate one of his sons.

“This is an unbelievable case. Iran targeted one of my sons. Iran tried to murder him, tried to murder one of my sons,” Netanyahu told Israel’s Channel 14 on Monday, according to the Jerusalem Post.

“Iran tried to murder one of my sons. And this is why this promise [I am making] is more than a luxury – without it, they could succeed [in killing my son]. People need to show some restraint, especially during an election campaign,” Netanyahu said.

The prime minister stated that he had spoken to David Zini, director of the Israeli Security Agency Shin Bet, asking him to increase security for any prime ministerial candidate.

Netanyahu did not clarify during the phone interview which of his sons—35-year-old Yair Netanyahu or 31-year-old Avner Netanyahu—was targeted by the alleged plot, nor did he provide specific details of how Israeli intelligence was made aware of it.

Shin Bet previously extended protective services to Netanyahu’s sons and his wife, Sara Netanyahu, in July.

Netanyahu’s announcement comes after Israel revealed a large store of weapons — including rockets, grenades, drones, sniper rifles, automated weapons, anti-tank rocket launchers, mortars and other military firepower — it has confiscated from Hezbollah and Hamas in recent months. Both Iranian-backed groups have been linked to widespread regional violence and historical attacks that have claimed the lives of hundreds of American and international citizens.

Man Who Called for the Mass Slaughter of President Trump and The Entire Secret Service is Identified and Arrested

The FBI has taken a dangerous madman off the streets who wanted to kill President Trump and Secret Service agents.

Libs of TikTok exclusively broke the news a short time ago that the FBI has identified Ayden Langevin as the person who made these threats and has taken him into custody.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Libs of TikTok shared a post from a lunatic fed up over the failed assassination attempts on Trump and called for mass action.

The man raged on TikTok that leftists have no choice but to grab guns, rush the White House with the intention of killing Trump and the entire Secret Service.

How he proposed to do this against several armed agents was unclear.

“It’s as simple as: we all grab guns,” he shouted. “We all group together.

New York Man Arrested for Allegedly Threatening to ‘Put a Bullet’ in U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro

A New York man has been arrested for allegedly saying he would ‘put a bullet’ in U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro.

It is a day ending in ‘y’ so a leftist is threatening to kill someone connected to the Trump administration. All of the threats and violence come from only one side, and the media pretends that all of the problems in society are on the right.

Just look at the image of this nut case.

From the New York Post:

An unhinged Long Island man has been arrested for allegedly threatening to travel to Washington, DC, to “put a bullet” in US Attorney Jeanine Pirro‘s head.

Daniel Kretsinger, of Hauppauge, New York, posted two vile and menacing videos to X on June 30, threatening violence against Pirro and further suggesting he may also attempt to assassinate President Trump, according to a criminal complaint filed earlier this month in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

“Because you’re such a lying despicable piece of s–t,” Kretsinger allegedly said in a terrifying video replying to an X post from Pirro’s account, “I’m specifically targeting you when I come to Washington, D.C., and put a bullet directly between your eyes c–t.”

Kretsinger, who was shirtless and appeared enraged in the video, then warned: “And if Trump keeps up his bulls–t I may kill the president too.” …

“I’m gonna come to DC very f—kin soon sweetheart and I’m gonna put a bullet in your f–kin head,” the crazed man said, according to the complaint. “I love you, you evil lying dirt bag thieving f–king b–h!”

An arrest warrant for Kretsinger was issued on Aug. 7 and he was taken into custody on Aug. 11. He is facing charges of transmitting a threat to injure a person across state lines, a violation of federal law that carries a maximum five-year prison sentence.

Given the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and the multiple attempts on Trump’s life, none of these threats can be ignored. They all must be taken seriously and investigated.

Meanwhile, Democrats and the media keep dialing their anti-Trump hysteria up to 11 every single day, which in turn inspires more crazies to threaten violence. Rinse and repeat, daily.

Transgender Defendant Convicted of Crimes Connected to Attempted Assassination of Treasury Secretary Bessent Sentenced to 6 Years in Federal Prison

Ryan Michael “Reily” English, a transgender defendant convicted of crimes connected to an attempted assassination of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, has been sentenced to six years in federal prison.

The sentencing comes after English pleaded guilty in March 2026.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said following the plea, “Our system of justice depends on public officials being able to carry out their duties free from intimidation and fear.”

“This defendant’s threats crossed a clear legal line, and today’s guilty plea reflects our commitment to protecting those who serve. Anyone who threatens violence against government officials will be identified, charged, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

In January 2025, The Gateway Pundit reported that English was arrested at the U.S. Capitol after allegedly bringing two Molotov cocktails and multiple weapons, with the stated intent to kill Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, then-newly confirmed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Federal prosecutors revealed that English voluntarily turned himself in to U.S. Capitol Police (USCP), confessing to carrying makeshift Molotov cocktails fashioned from small vodka bottles and several knives.

High-End Russian Escort Plants Trash Bin Bomb That Kills Ukrainian Submarine Commander Defector on Orders of Kiev

Not a word of condemnation of Kiev’s bombing spree by the Western media.

While all the MSM trumpets that Ukraine is ‘turning the tables in the war’ and highlights every single missile and drone strike on Russian territory, there’s one aspect of this war that is literally booming.

The Kiev bombing campaign abroad: be it a Ukrainian oligarch in Monaco, a Russian General in Moscow or a Submarine commander defector in Crimea, the ‘defenders of democracy’ are blasting away, as the West applauds.

This last Thursday, a Ukrainian submarine commander who defected to Russia was killed when a Russian high-end escort, acting on Kiev’s orders, blew him up with a bomb hidden inside a trash bin.

The 32-year-old Russian woman, later identified as Margarita Reut, was following orders from Ukraine’s intelligence network to kill Robert Shageev, now an officer in the Kremlin’s Black Sea Fleet, according to Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB).
