WTH? Door Knocker for Democrat AZ Governor Katie Hobbs Caught on Camera Stealing Package From Voter’s Front Porch

A volunteer canvasser for a leftwing group backing Democratic Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs’ reelection campaign was caught on a doorbell camera, appearing to snatch a package while leaving flyers for Democratic candidates.

They’re not just stealing votes anymore.

The apparent porch pirate is seen on doorbell camera footage approaching the home and leaving a flyer at the door before closely examining a package for a moment.

She then takes the package and walks away.

As also seen in the clip, the woman left a flyer that read “paid for by Victory PAC (www.luchaaz.org/lucha-blue),” which links to the progressive group Living United for Change in Arizona’s 2026 voter guide.

The page urges voters to reelect Governor Katie Hobbs and Attorney General Kris Mayes. “Governor Katie Hobbs is delivering for Arizona families. Fighting to lower everyday costs, protecting our freedoms, keeping communities safe, safeguarding our water, and holding powerful interests accountable. She puts Arizona first and is focused on getting results that make a real difference in people’s lives,” the page reads.

The person who discovered their package was missing got a firsthand look at the governor’s socialist policies.

Don’t Look Now, But Yet Another Chicago ‘Violence Interrupter’ Has Committed Violent Felonies

Angalwon Gilmore, 28, started his day at a Chicago CRED (Create Real Economic Destiny) office flashing gang signs at the anti-violence center’s own security cameras. Hours later he used a Lyft account registered as “Angawon CRED” to get a ride from that same building.

Did he misspell his own name? You make the call. Anyway, he climbed into the back of a 33-year-old woman’s 2013 Acura wearing a COVID mask…and then tried to carjack her. Thank heavens Lyft has a policy against their drivers carrying the proper tools for armed self-defense, right?

Angalwon yelled at her to change direction. When she did what he wanted to keep the situation from turning worse, he attacked from behind in the 6400 block of South Rhodes, wrapping his arm around her neck and trying to pull her out of the driver’s seat into the back. The struggle went on for several minutes. She fought hard, jamming a leg under the dash and steering wheel so he couldn’t pull her free. He eventually bailed with her keys. She called 911.

Gilmore is now detained on attempted vehicular hijacking, robbery, and aggravated battery. Phone data, Lyft records, the driver’s photo-lineup identification, and a police report that lists Chicago CRED as his employer tied him to the attack.

This is not some one-off fluke by a single “violence interruptor” gone bad. It’s the predictable result of a racket that Governor JB Pritzker has shoveled large amounts of Illinois taxpayer money into—community violence intervention nonprofits, “peacekeeper” programs, and questionable NGOs like Chicago CRED.

CRED was founded by Arne Duncan, Barack Obama’s Secretary of Education. These operations take federal grants (and private philanthropy, too) and hand stipends and provide soft programming to men already deep in criminal street life. Then they claim they’re “interrupting violence.”

The pattern keeps repeating. Jamari Edwards, a CeaseFire Chicago violence interrupter, got 22 years in federal prison after a string of armed carjackings that included shooting one victim in the leg. Kellen McMiller was photographed standing next to Pritzker at a Peacekeeper event just days before he was charged with murder in a Mag Mile smash-and-grab at a Louis Vuitton store that killed an innocent bystander. He had ties to CRED’s FLIP program and outstanding warrants.

Another so-called peacekeeper, Chester Alexander, was arrested after swinging at a Chicago cop during an arrest and was found with suspected ecstasy pills. Even the director of CeaseFire Illinois, Tio Hardiman, was arrested in 2013 on domestic battery charges after prosecutors said he punched and kicked his wife, leaving her with a swollen lip, bruises, and a cut on her neck. He was later removed by the organization.

Gilmore allegedly used the cover of an anti-violence job and a rideshare account bearing the nonprofit’s name to set up a working woman who was just trying to earn a living. That’s not outreach. That is a thug with a taxpayer-funded paycheck and a nonprofit logo. Paying people like this and calling it “prevention” is a scam. It doesn’t reform them, it subsidizes them.

Newly unsealed files renew questions about potential accomplice in O.J. Simpson case

More than three decades after the 1994 killings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, newly unsealed federal court records have brought renewed attention to a possible lead involving Joseph “Joey” Ippolito, a convicted drug trafficker and federal informant with connections to O.J. Simpson and his longtime confidant Al Cowlings.

A report by The New York Times, based on recently unsealed court documents and interviews, details Ippolito’s cooperation with federal authorities following his recapture after escaping from a Florida federal prison in 1994. Ippolito had relocated to Southern California, where he managed an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica, and was reportedly acquainted with both Simpson and Cowlings.

A December 1996 letter from a federal prosecutor seeking leniency for Ippolito described him as a valuable source who possessed information relevant to the Simpson case, including details concerning Simpson’s purported disposal of the murder weapon, which investigators never recovered.

The records have renewed questions about whether another person may have assisted Simpson in the aftermath of the killings, although they do not independently establish that Ippolito participated in the crimes.

Ippolito’s brother, Sam, separately told The New York Times that Joey returned home on the night of the killings with what appeared to be blood on his hands and a bag containing a heavy object. Sam alleged that his brother asked him to dispose of the bag. However, Sam later attempted to retract his account after the newspaper declined his request for compensation, raising questions about the reliability of his statements.

Former lead prosecutor Marcia Clark said she had not been informed of Ippolito during the original criminal proceedings and questioned whether he had provided credible or relevant evidence. Surfacing reports suggest that federal authorities shared information concerning Ippolito with Los Angeles prosecutors as Simpson’s criminal trial was nearing its conclusion.

Simpson was acquitted of the murders in 1995 but was subsequently found liable for the wrongful deaths of Brown and Goldman in a 1997 civil trial. He died in 2024.

Malcolm LaVergne, executor of Simpson’s estate, later cautioned against “drawing definitive conclusions from renewed allegations” concerning events that the principal individuals involved can no longer address.

The Los Angeles Police Department has also confirmed that the double-homicide case remains open and ongoing. The department stated that detectives will pursue viable investigative leads if any new evidence emerges.

HORRIFYING: Arizona Man Accused of Plotting MASS-CASUALTY Terror Attack on Religious Site — Allegedly Called Notorious Oklahoma City Bombing ‘Cookbook’ His Bible

A 27-year-old Chandler, Arizona man is facing felony charges after Maricopa County prosecutors alleged he laid out a detailed plan for a mass-casualty attack on a Jewish or Muslim house of worship, complete with explosives followed by an accomplice tasked with “picking off people” with firearms.

Matthew Bjornholt appeared in Maricopa County Superior Court on October 16–18, 2026, on a charge of making a terrorist threat.

According to FOX 10 Phoenix’s October 16 report, prosecutors alleged that Bjornholt discussed using bombs and firearms to inflict mass casualties at a religious facility.

Even more alarming, prosecutors claimed Bjornholt possessed a copy of The Anarchist Cookbook, an infamous manual containing instructions for constructing explosives that has been associated with Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.

Prosecutors alleged Bjornholt referred to the book as his “Bible.”

During Friday’s court appearance, Maricopa County prosecutor Stephen Garcia requested a $500,000 cash bond, arguing that Bjornholt posed an imminent danger to the community.

Defund the Police 2.0? Leftist group circulating plan for blue cities to repeal laws that criminalize resisting arrest: report

A left-wing network of elected officials is circulating policy recommendations encouraging Democratic-led cities to repeal laws criminalizing resistance to arrest. The recommendations also call for restrictions on police crowd-control tactics to protect activists arrested during demonstrations.

According to a report by journalist Natalie Winters, Local Progress Impact Lab updated its guidance in November 2025 with recommendations that include banning tear gas and rubber bullets, limiting police dispersal orders, and releasing people arrested at public assemblies. The network’s recommendations extend to preparations for the 2026 elections.

Its August 2026 election bulletin instructs officials to “Create an expedited permitting process for election-related demonstrations” and to “Pre-designate public assembly areas near civic buildings and polling locations and publish them clearly in advance.”

Winters reported that Local Progress has significant influence as its members hold public office and can approve permits, oversee municipal agencies, and vote on local laws. The network’s election bulletin also recommends tabletop exercises that involve mayors’ offices, police chiefs, prosecutors, election administrators, school superintendents, and community leaders.

“The network wants government officials preparing the ground for election demonstrations, with its older guidance offering a roadmap for limiting the police response,” Winters reported.

The report also highlighted political messaging recommendations. A messaging guide in the bulletin advises replacing the term “Election deniers” with “Election traitors.” Winters noted that the bulletin has established that elected officials are “being pointed toward a political vocabulary alongside advice on permits and policing.”

CCP Sentences Crime Bosses to Death Before They Can Name Names

Good news, everyone! The Chinese Communist Party is cracking down on crime. Of course there’s no crime in China, since China is very, very safe thanks to the CCP. But there’s crime in other countries, you see.

On Tuesday, a court in southeastern China sentenced three members of the “Wei family criminal gang” to death and sent dozens more to prison. The Wei clan is one of the so-called “four families” that ran criminal syndicates in Kokang, a region of northern Myanmar right on the Chinese border. State broadcaster CCTV called them the “most violent criminal force in northern Myanmar.”

According to the court, the gang ran drug trafficking, prostitution, illegal casinos, and telecom fraud. They also murdered at least two Chinese citizens. CCTV says they operated 14 large-scale scam compounds and lured Chinese job seekers across the border with fake promises of high wages. Once there, many people ended up trapped in prison-like compounds, forced to scam for their captors. The gang reportedly pulled in more than $1.8 billion.

But these gangs operated in the open, for years, under the protection of Myanmar’s military junta. Experts say the junta looked the other way because scam profits flowed to its militia allies, the same militias it needs to fight rebels. Back in January, the CCP executed 11 members of the rival Ming family. The Mings weren’t just gangsters. They belonged to a militia aligned with the junta.

And who’s the junta’s biggest backer? The CCP.

REVEALED: Here is the Discovery that Triggered the Federal Agents’ Raid on Ilhan Omar’s DC Home

The heat on far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and her family continues to build as more damning information leaks out, including what triggered the raid on her home to begin with.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, federal agents raided the Washington, DC-area residence of Omar early Monday morning as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into her immigration paperwork.

Fox News Digital reported exclusively that the pre-dawn raid was part of an ongoing criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman’s immigration paperwork, documents filled out by her late father when she was a child.

According to her website, Ilhan Omar arrived in the United States in March 1995, when she was 12 years old. She came with her family as a Somali refugee after spending approximately four years in a refugee camp in Kenya. She became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2000, at age 17.

Multiple agents wearing HSI jackets were observed outside the residence around 6 a.m.

Now, we know exactly the discovery that led to the raid. The New York Times exclusively reported on Saturday that federal officials seized the phone of Omar’s Sister, Sahra Noor, earlier this year.

When they did so, they noticed that the phone contained damning family text messages. Investigators then later used these messages to get a federal judge to authorize the raid on Omar’s home.

Trump calls for death penalty for anyone convicted of killing a firefighter

Addressing a gathering of law enforcement officers and firefighters at a White House Rose Garden luncheon, President Donald Trump announced that he has directed the Department of Justice (DOJ) to seek the death penalty in cases involving the murder of a firefighter.

This directive expands upon his previous calls to mandate capital punishment for individuals convicted of killing police officers.

While the president signaled a firm federal stance on violence against first responders, the implementation of such a policy across all jurisdictions remains limited, as federal capital charges generally apply only to specific federal offenses or crimes committed within federal jurisdiction, while state-level homicide prosecutions remain governed by individual state laws.

“They’re shot at [while] going up ladders,” Trump said. “They get shot up in some neighborhoods….”

It Happened YET AGAIN

A two-year-old girl is fighting for her life after being stabbed multiple times in the face by a complete stranger while sitting in a stroller at a Providence school bus stop. The attacker had previously been accused of stabbing two other children, but was repeatedly found incompetent to stand trial before simply being released back into the community.

Police say the attack was unprovoked. The man did not know the mother or child. Months earlier, a doctor had assessed that he was “not likely to imperil the peace and safety of the community or himself at this time.” A judge accepted the recommendation and allowed him to remain free on outpatient treatment.

What kind of justice system lets a mental guy who previously stabbed two kids walk around freely?

The latest incident occurred in broad daylight Wednesday near Broad Street and Public Street in Providence, Rhode Island. The mother, 26, was waiting with her two-year-old daughter for the child’s siblings to arrive on a school bus. Nelson Blanco, 46, approached them. The mother moved across the street, but Blanco followed, insulted her, and then attacked, according to Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez.

Perez said Blanco stabbed the girl in the face multiple times and stabbed the mother in the shoulder. The attack was “unprovoked,” and the victims did not know the suspect.

Bystanders intervened. Witness Jesse Alice Palmer, a nursing assistant, said the toddler stopped breathing and that she and another woman performed CPR until emergency responders arrived. The girl remains in critical condition at Hasbro Children’s Hospital. The mother was treated and released.

‘Serial Killer’ Concerns Grip Michigan’s Capital as Similarities Are Noted in 5 Recent Deaths

Law enforcement in Lansing, Michigan, is concerned there may be a serial killer on the loose after five killings were committed in under one year on the same trail.

Earlier this month, police said they were investigating the possibility that a lone killer was targeting the Lansing River Trail, Fox News reported.

Karen Holt, a criminology professor at nearby Michigan State University, told the outlet, “I definitely think we need to be cautious, but we also need to be rational.”

“As someone who studies violence, the first thing that came to mind was the victims and the vulnerability of these victims and the method of the violence,” she added.

“One of the patterns with either single or serial homicide offenders or just violent offenders is that they tend to go after individuals who are particularly vulnerable,” Holt explained.

Authorities said all the victims were homeless men.

Holt said killers sometimes target homeless victims because they “lack credibility,” which possibly “decreases the likelihood that they’re going to be caught.”

The timeline of the killings spans from October 2025 to August 2026. The victims’ ages ranged from 22 to 70, with the cause of death in many cases being either blunt force trauma or stabbing.

Last month, Edward Joseph Smith, 23, was arrested in connection with the stabbing of Daniel Lusk, 22. No motive was released to the public, however, and it is still unclear if he is responsible for any of the other killings.

Holt told Fox News that Lusk’s murder “stands out” because he was the only who was stabbed.

Smith has been charged with murder in that case, but the other cases remain open, according to The New York Times.

Lusk’s father, Dean, said his son was struggling with addiction and had done stints in rehab, as well as prison, but that he visited his son frequently to bring food and clothing. 

“There were incidents that happened down there before my son got murdered,” Mr. Lusk said. “The cops were well aware of it, and they refused to do anything about it.”

Police Chief Robert Backus broached the subject of a possible serial killer during a news conference, saying, “We are looking at the idea — or the possibility — that these may be related cases… But we cannot move forward in an investigation thinking that these are all the same person. We have to look at these on a case-by-case scenario.”

Derick Byrd, 56, reportedly knew some of the victims and had previously stayed along the river trail.

“It’s scary knowing that even if you’re homeless, you can’t even lay out here and go to sleep without somebody beating you,” he said.

Backus announced that temporary cameras were placed along the trail, and the city is weighing whether to install better lighting.

He added that the trail is safe, except during the overnight hours.

The killings began with Gino Chouinard, 54, who was discovered dead on the trail, but his cause of death has yet to be determined.

The next victim, Dennis Dunnebacke, 70, was found under a bridge in July, and his cause of death is also undetermined.

The third victim, Robert Smith, 57, died of head trauma one day after Dunnebacke, and his case was declared a blunt force homicide.

The other two deaths occurred 10 days apart back in August, with both victims being found under bridges like Dunnebacke.

One of the victims was Lusk, and the other was Louis Woodruff, 57, who had severe facial trauma. He passed away on Sept. 1, and his death was ruled a blunt force homicide.

Chief Backus blamed the case delays on a lack of witnesses, limited surveillance footage, and inconclusive or pending reports from the medical examiner.
