Illegal Alien Who Put Hits Out on ICE Agents Finds Out That Was a Very Bad Idea

A Texas illegal immigrant thought it would be a good idea to use the social media platform TikTok to solicit the murders of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. It turns out that, at least for him, it was a very bad idea indeed.

His name is Eduardo Aguilar, and he was offering up to $10,000 for each successful hit. His efforts led the 23-year-old to earn an up-close and personal meeting with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Not surprisingly, the get-together did not go well for him, and he was arrested.

The DHS tweet continues:

We are thankful this criminal who had a firearm in his possession was arrested before he could kill one of our law enforcement officers. 

The Trump administration will not back down from these threats, and every criminal, terrorist, and illegal alien will face American justice.

NYC teen shooters, victims skyrocket since passing of Raise the Age law: new data

The number of teen gunshot victims and teen shooters has exploded since the state’s controversial Raise the Age Law went into effect in 2018, according to new data obtained by The Post.

As of last week, 92 people under 18 have been shot so far this year –  96% more than the 47 shot in the same period in 2018, the year before the legislation enacted by leftist state pols fully took effect, raising the age of criminal responsibility from 16 to 18.

The 92 teen shooting victims this year is 21% more than the 76 shot at this point last year, according to NYPD data through Sept. 28.

The number of teen shooters has surged even higher — climbing 143% — with 73 arrested so far this year, compared to 30 in the same span in 2018, and 3% more than the 71 busted in the same period last year, the data show.

Even more troubling is that the shocking surge in teenage gunplay comes as shootings in NYC have dropped 20% overall so far this year compared to 2024, NYPD data shows.

Shooting incidents overall have fallen by more than 50% since 2020, the data show.

Letitia James’ criminal kin have been charged 11 times in 5 years — but keep getting off easy

New York Attorney General Letitia James’ troubled grandnieces have been charged with a combined eight felonies and three misdemeanors in the past five years — but had their charges downgraded or dropped every time.

The women live in James’ Norfolk, Va., homes, which have been the subject of intense federal scrutiny in recent months over mortgage documents James signed — including a federal criminal indictment that has New York’s top law enforcer facing 60 years in federal prison.

Cayla Thompson-Hairston, 21, an OnlyFans model with an X-rated social media presence, was hit with felony charges in April 2024 for allegedly lying about having a felony criminal record when she tried to buy a gun in Suffolk, Va., according to court documents.

Cops said she was barred from owning a handgun due to a juvenile felony charge of malicious wounding in August 2020.

However, the weapons charges were later dropped entirely.

Norfolk Commonwealth’s Attorney Ramin Fatehi, a Democrat, said prosecutors later learned the juvenile charges were pleaded down to a misdemeanor.

Suffolk Commonwealth’s Attorney Narendra Pleas, also a Democrat, did not respond to The Post’s request for clarification on why she dropped the charges.

One legal observer said it was concerning that the charges were dropped entirely — particularly in light of Thompson-Hairston’s violent criminal history.

Trans activist who sued female beauty spa for refusing to give her bikini wax is now WANTED by police

A trans woman with a penis who gained notoriety after suing beauty spas that refused to bikini wax has had a warrant issued for her arrest. 

Police in Alberta, Canada, are searching for Jessica Yaniv, also known as Jessica Simpson, in relation to a criminal harassment charge according to Western Standard.

The outlet spoke with the complainant who said they are trying to confirm if the search extends to British Columbia, where Yaniv is from.  

No court records have yet been released in relation to the case and Calgary Police have yet to comment, so further details of the harassment have not been disclosed. 

In Canada warrants can be forced across different provinces if they are filed under a national database or authorized under a interprovincial cooperation agreement. 

Yaniv first made headlines in 2018 after filing suit against a number of salons after they refused to wax her.

She claimed they had actively discriminated against her for her gender identity and male genitalia. The cases were all later dismissed. 

In 2019 she was also hit with accusations that she had engaged in sexually inappropriate communications with a minor.

One woman, Jessica Rumpel, previously told the Daily Mail that Yaniv had sent her her sexually inappropriate messages when she was just 14.

Those are said to have included questions about whether it would be ok for her to change in front of another woman, and how to go about making that happen. 

Rumpel went public with her claims after others posted about similar alleged incidents on social media. 

Yaniv went on to say that she doesn’t know Rumpel and suggested someone posing as her may have contacted her.

Rumpel however shared Twitter messages from 2014 that appear to have come from Yaniv’s current verified account. 

‘I feel [Yaniv] took advantage of me,’ Rumpel told the Daily Mai back in 2019. ‘I felt [Yaniv] kinda took my kindness for granted.’ 

She said that at the time Yaniv sent the message she was unphased and only later realized the behavior was predatory. 

In 2019 she was also charged with possession of a prohibited weapon after she waving a taser while on a livestream, she received a conditional discharge.

Scandalous past of Lake Tahoe mayor who resigned after stealing $300,000 from church while claiming she had depression

The former mayor of South Lake Tahoe who resigned after admitting to stealing $300,000 from a church was previously accused of defrauding an insurance company.

Tamara Wallace had served as mayor of the California city since December 2024, and for one year in 2022, but resigned on Monday after admitting to the theft.

The scandal-plagued mayor sent a confessional letter to several local news outlets, blaming her struggles with mental health for stealing from the Presbyterian Church over several years. 

But Wallace also previously faced a lawsuit from Federal Insurance Company, now a subsidiary of insurance firm Chubb, for ‘theft of funds’ totaling over $100,000, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The records reviewed by the outlet showed that Wallace agreed to repay the money after the alleged fraud was discovered in 2006, but then failed to repay the cash, prompting a second lawsuit from the firm in 2021. 

The lawsuits reportedly did not give details over how Wallace allegedly stole from the insurance company, however the first lawsuit was dismissed months after it was filed. 

The second lawsuit alleged that Wallace fraudulently received a payout of $122,193, but then failed to follow a payment plan that she had agreed to 15 years before when it was found to be erroneous. 

The company said Wallace agreed to pay just $200-a-month until the balance was paid off, but she stopped paying around February 2017, despite an agreement that she would be liable for the full amount if she ceased her payments. 

After Wallace was allegedly caught in 2006, she signed a promissory note acknowledging she owed the money and insisted she would pay it back, the company said. 

At the time she stopped paying, Wallace still owed more than $110,000, the Chronicle reported. 

In June 2022 Wallace was ordered by a judge to repay the company, and she signed a second promissory note agreeing to make $400 monthly payments, on top of a $2500 initial payment. 

The emergence of the alleged insurance fraud adds another layer to the political scandal which forced her to leave office earlier this month. 

Dana Tibbitts, a member of the El Dorado County Government Watch group, told the Chronicle after the scandal emerged, ‘the most important thing is that (the theft from the church) was not her first rodeo. 

‘She has been down this road a long time… and we probably don’t know the half of it.’

Member of Satanic “764” Cult Charged After 13-Year-Old Girl Found Hanging in Parking Lot

An investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and German authorities led to charges Wednesday against a man accused of convincing a 13-year-old to hang herself in Washington State on behalf of a cult-like group, according to multiple reports.

German prosecutors charged an unnamed defendant dubbed “White Tiger” with hundreds of crimes, including the teen’s murder, for an alleged campaign of online abuse and sexual predation that victimized more than 30 children, CBS News reported. Authorities linked the man to “764,” a Satanic online movement that the FBI says is driven by a nihilistic hatred of society.

The teenage victim’s body was found in Gig Harbor, Washington, in January 2022 after she had hung herself with an extension cord on a black chain link fence in a grocery store parking lot, The Washington Post reported. After police sought the FBI’s help, investigators found that online predators associated with 764 allegedly groomed her into the suicide, which she livestreamed on Instagram via her phone. The individuals allegedly suggested in online messages that she take off her clothes because it would make the spectacle “hotter.”

The child victim told her parents she was a transgender boy at age ten and later became anorexic and depressed, FBI agents learned, according to The Washington Post. German prosecutors allege that “White Tiger” began building an online relationship with her while manipulating her and numerous other children into self-harm, starting when the suspect was 16, CBS News reported.

Threats against children from 764 have risen in recent years as the cultists lure vulnerable minors into private group chats and coax them into self-harm or degrading sexual acts, according to the FBI. Similar groups may go by different names but unite around 764’s methods, and adherents work together to evade bans from tech platforms, the Daily Caller News Foundation previously reported.

Investigators traced the digital footprint of “White Tiger” and allegedly found other victims on multiple social media platforms who he had convinced to cut themselves, as well as a photo of him cross-dressing in women’s clothes, according to The Washington Post. He allegedly shared the child abuse content with other followers of 764 to boost his reputation in the criminal network.

Democrats Fear the Loss of Their Municipal Monopolies

President Trump’s deployment of federal forces threatens Democrats’ municipal monopolies on political power. This is why they so strenuously object to federal assistance in cities’ law enforcement. Without overwhelming city vote totals, Democrats’ political control in states across America would collapse.

President Trump has repeatedly injected federal resources into city law enforcement – Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Memphis, and now Portland and Chicago – where he has deemed crime to be out of local authorities’ ability or will to control it. At each intervention, national Democrat leaders have loudly protested – even in Washington, where Mayor Bowser acknowledged crime was down.

Apart from playing to their national base, Democrats’ protests rest on the reality that their power depends on maintaining their monopoly grip on cities’ huge vote totals. Of America’stop 20 cities, Democrats control 18; of the top 40, Democrats control 32; of the top 100, Democrats control 66. Notably, America’s 33rd largest city, Fresno, California, is the largest to have a Republican mayor in a Blue state.

For Democrats, control of cities’ huge populations means control of the states in which these are located. As examples: New York City makes up 44.3% of New York state’s population; Chicago is 21.6% of Illinois’ population; Albuquerque is 26.5% of New Mexico’s; Portland is 15.3% of Oregon’s. And these are just single-city examples; in some states, control of several big cities (e.g., Minneapolis and St. Paul are 12.8% of Minnesota’s population; Denver and Colorado Springs are 20% of Colorado’s population) make for similarly overwhelming percentages.

Why this is so important for Democrats nationally can be seen from 2024’s presidential election results. Between the coasts, Democrats were barely competitive, losing over 70% of the electoral votes cast outside California, Washington, New York, and Massachusetts.

Even winning the less than 30% the electoral votes Democrats won between America’s coasts required them to win states like Illinois, Minnesota, Colorado, and New Mexico – states where Democrat-controlled city populations were significantly larger percentages of their populations than the popular vote percentage that separated Kamala Harris from Donald Trump in them. Even New York, a Democrat bastion (the last Republican presidential victory there was Ronald Reagan’s in 1984) is a dramatic example: While New York City is 44.3% of New York state’s population, Harris beat Trump by only 12.6 percentage points there: She did so by winning 67.7% of New York City votes – almost 1 million more than Trump and almost her entire margin of victory in New York state.

NYC public school staffer skimmed $415K in tax dollars for her private cheerleading team: DA

A former public high school staffer skimmed $415,000 in taxpayer cash meant for students — to fund her own private cheerleading business, Queens prosecutors charged Thursday.

Abi Corbin, 53, worked as a community associate at the East-West School of International Studies, PS 281 in Flushing, when she allegedly ran the scam, from July 2021 through July 2024, the Queens District Attorney’s Office said.

As part of her job, Corbin was responsible for processing work orders to purchase materials for the school, which does not have a cheerleading team, prosecutors said.

Instead, Corbin used the principal’s login information and signature to buy merch for her own business Queens Campus Cheer, according to prosecutors.

“Instead of purchasing necessary educational materials to help students thrive, the defendant is accused of stealing school funds for her own private cheerleading company,” Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a statement.

Grand jury indicts former national security advisor John Bolton on 18 felony charges

A grand jury delivered an 18-count indictment on Thursday against former national security advisor and Trump critic John Bolton, who has been accused of unlawfully handling classified documents.

The grand jury indictment charged Bolton with 18 felonies, including 10 counts of illegal retention of national defense information. He was also charged with eight counts of transmitting national defense information.

“There is one tier of justice for all Americans,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. “Anyone who abuses a position of power and jeopardizes our national security will be held accountable. No one is above the law.”

The federal grand jury convened Wednesday to consider charges against the longtime national security figure two months after the FBI raided his Maryland home and found “highly sensitive national security” information. 

The search warrant for Bolton’s home, dated Aug. 22, showed there were “travel memo documents with pages labeled secret,” as well as “confidential” documents regarding “U.S. Mission to the United Nations,” “U.S. Government Strategic Communications Plan,” and weapons of mass destruction. 

Laptops and other electronics were also seized in the search, Just the News previously reported. 

The FBI also searched Bolton’s Washington, D.C. office.

Celebrity lawyer shot and killed in downtown Mexico City in broad daylight

Celebrity attorney David Cohen Sacal was mysteriously shot and killed in broad daylight while leaving a Mexico City courthouse.

Sacal’s celebrity clients have included singer-songwriter Anahi, actress and singer Maite Perroni, model and actor Sebastian Rulli and fugitive former football boss Billy Alvarez.

Witnesses claimed that a young man approached the 48-year-old at Mexico City’s Courthouse Plaza in the late afternoon of October 13 and fired at least twice, according to Newsbreak.

One bullet hit the victim in the head while the other struck his thigh.

In video following the incident, Sacal was seen lying in a pool of blood as emergency responders lifted him onto a stretcher and loaded him into an ambulance. 

The ‘Judicial City’ houses the local Superior Court Justice, civil and criminal courts, the Attorney General’s Office and the city’s investigative police, one of the areas in the city with the biggest police presence.

His attacker attempted to ride away on a motorcycle but he was quickly stopped by an off-duty police officer who shot him in the arm.

Police identified the attacker as 18-year-old Hector Hernandez, who allegedly confessed to being paid almost $2,000 to carry out the hit, according to Record.
