Here’s what we know about the socialist activist arrested for killing Israeli embassy staffers in DC

A socialist, pro-Palestinian activist was arrested for allegedly shooting a couple dead on Wednesday night in Washington, DC, outside the Capital Jewish Museum. The couple were staffers from the Israeli Embassy in the nation’s capital and were about to get engaged.  

Elias Rodriguez, 30, of Chicago, has been identified by authorities as the suspected shooter. Video of Rodriguez getting arrested showed him yelling “Free, free Palestine,” and he has a history of engaging in leftist ideologies such as socialism. Israeli diplomat Yaron Lischinsky and his girlfriend Sarah Milgrim were the victims of the deadly shooting; they were set to be engaged.

A person with the same name also belonging to the Party for Socialism and Liberation had made a donation before on a fundraising page for Gaza, and wrote a note stating, “I as an individual cannot stop this violence to the people of Palestine, but I can at least help the little boy who made a difference to me, I urge other to help as much as possible, no child should experience such horrible things. Free Palestine” (sic).

Additionally, the Daily Mail has also reported images appearing to be of Rodriguez at BLM protests in 2017. The alleged killer’s work profile had him working at the non-profit organization, TheHistoryMakers, with his biography stating that he was an “oral history researcher” on African American communities.

‘A nightmare’: Female inmate describes ‘traumatic’ experience of being housed with biological males

An inmate at Minnesota’s Shakopee women’s prison says she’s been traumatized by the state’s policy allowing transgender-identifying males to be housed alongside female prisoners—calling her experience “the worst time I’ve ever had to live through.”

Jamie Ali, who is currently incarcerated at the Minnesota Correctional Facility–Shakopee, spoke to Alpha News by phone and shared concerns about her mental health, physical safety, and what she calls repeated failures by the Department of Corrections (DOC) to protect vulnerable women.

“I am a survivor of sexual assault. I’ve been raped three times,” Ali said. “I also experienced domestic violence growing up and in my previous relationships so the whole thing being here with these men has been a nightmare.”

Ali said the state’s 2023 transgender policy has caused lasting psychological harm in the form of panic attacks, and the presence of biologically male inmates has forced her to isolate—even from beneficial rehabilitation programs.

“I withdrew from every single one of my classes because there are transgenders in them and it’s very traumatic,” she said. “I’ve been having panic attacks since I’ve got here.”

Shooting outside CIA headquarters hours after two Israelis were murdered at Jewish Museum in nearby DC

A woman was shot outside of the CIA headquarters after driving up to a gate at the facility and failing to stop, according to sources. 

The incident unfolded around 4am on Thursday outside of the headquarters in Langley, Virginia. 

Sources told CBS News that the woman had failed to stop and was shot in the upper body. She was taken to a medical facility, the outlet reported. 

The shooting occurred hours after Israeli embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were gunned down in DC, just eight miles away. 

There is no evidence that the two incidents are linked at this time, the CIA has not responded to DailyMail.com’s request for more information. 

Fairfax County Officers had responded to the campus, and have described the shooting as ‘non fatal’. A CIA investigation is now underway, according to NBC.

Cops said that they had been called to the area at around 4am to help the agency with traffic control following the shooting. 

A spokesperson for the agency said: ‘There was a security incident that law enforcement responded to outside CIA Headquarters.

‘The main gate is currently closed, employees should seek alternative routes. Additional details will be made available as appropriate.’ 

Lischinsky and Milgrim were shot and killed on Wednesday night after leaving an event at a Jewish museum. 

The suspect in their killing, Elias Rodriguez, is said to have yelled ‘Free,free, Palestine’ after he was arrested, police said. 

Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter said that the two were about to be engaged, with Lischinsky buying an engagement ring just this week.

DeSantis Signs Bill Increasing Penalties for ‘Swatting’ into Florida Law

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill on Wednesday that will increase penalties on people who make false 911 calls, commonly referred to as “swatting.”

The governor signed the bill, HB 279, at a high school in Winter Haven. Rep. Bill Partington (R-Ormond Beach) sponsored the legislation in the House, while Sen. Blaise Ingoglia (R-Spring Hill) led the Senate bill.

“If you swat, you are going to get hit with serious criminal offenses,” DeSantis said at a press conference.

Swatting calls are particularly dangerous, as police responding to a supposedly emergency incident are not aware that the call is bogus. Often targeted at a specific residence, the swatter will sometimes say a person is dangerous or someone is in danger, and a gun is present.

The false report can sometimes lead to someone being killed. It can also strain police manpower and resources away from serious emergency calls.

Under the bill, a person who makes a swatting call that leads to death will be charged with a second-degree felony. A person who makes a false report that leads to serious injury will be charged with a third-degree felony.

The bill also increases penalties for repeat offenders. Moreover, a swatter will be mandated by the court to pay restitution to public safety officials and victims for any damages that occur from the false report.

DeSantis signed a bill establishing swatting penalties in 2021.

White House Responds to Massachusetts Judge for “Protecting Criminal Illegal Immigrant Monsters” – Shows List of Murderers, Child Sex Offenders, and Drug Traffickers Judge is Protecting

The White House called out “far-left activist” Massachusetts Judge Brian Murphy in a press release Wednesday after he ruled the administration cannot deport violent criminal aliens. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Biden-appointed US District Judge Brian Murphy said the Trump Administration violated his court order when it deported seven illegal aliens to South Sudan. He said they failed to provide the aliens with “meaningful” due process since they were being sent to “third-party” countries.

Murphy even suggested Trump Admin officials may have committed contempt for enforcing immigration policy.

The individuals were sent to South Sudan because they’re so bad that even their home countries “would not take them back,” said Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons.

The seven illegal aliens from several different countries have been convicted of murder, sexual assault with children or incapacitated individuals, drug trafficking and other drug charges, and robbery. Most of them have convictions for multiple crimes.

In response to Murphy’s ruling, the White House issued the following news release on Wednesday, featuring the mugshots and rap sheets of the aliens:

It’s another attempt by a far-left activist judge to dictate the foreign policy of the United States — and protect the violent criminal illegal immigrants President Donald J. Trump and his administration have removed from our streets.

“We conducted a deportation flight from Texas to remove some of the most barbaric, violent individuals illegally in the United States. No country on earth wanted to accept them because their crimes are so uniquely monstrous and barbaric … Thanks to the courageous work of the State Department and ICE and the President’s national security team, we found a nation that was willing to accept custody of these vicious illegal aliens,” said Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

“As a career law enforcement officer and a career officer with ICE, I’ve been dealing with these recalcitrant countries for years — having to see repeated murders, sex offenders, violent criminals re-released back into the United States because their home countries would not take them back,” said Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons. “Under President Trump and under the leadership of Secretary Noem, we are now able to remove these public safety threats so they won’t prey on the community anymore.”

South Africa: Surge in BRUTAL ATTACKS targeting white farmers – Afrikaner campaign group

ATTACKS against South Africa’s white farmers are on the rise with some victims being tortured with electric drills, blowtorches and bleach, according to a new report.

Research by Afriforum, a group which champions the rights of the country’s Afrikaner minority, said assaults on the farms shot up 25 percent last year. And it warned the attacks against landowners were becoming increasingly brutal. Afriforum spokesman Ernst Roets said there was a “racial element” to the violence with research showing only white farming families suffered such levels of savagery.

He said there were more than eight attacks on rural properties every week, 433 incidents in 2018, up from 342 the previous year and the highest recorded by the group.

The number of murders last year was down to 54 from 72 in 2017, its lowest since 2011, suggesting some of the farmers were fighting back.

Mr Roets said: “More victims are shooting back, more are being trained and more are defending themselves.

“They are not allowing themselves to be victims. The farmers aren’t waiting to get murdered, but rather prepared for that contact to happen.”

Oregon police responded 17 times to home occupied by Tren de Aragua gang members charged with torture, kidnapping, attempted murder: charging documents

An Oregon home that housed illegal immigrants accused of kidnapping, torturing, and attempting to kill a Washington state woman in January has prompted at least 17 police responses within the past year over a number of alarming incidents reported at the property, according to dozens of police reports exclusively obtained by The Post Millennial.

Police records show that neighbors have called 911 to report concerning activity that would “generally increase after nightfall,” including sounds of screaming, vans full of people being dropped off at the property, an alarming presence of young girls at the residence, drug use, and more.

The home, located at 5431 Bonita Road in Lake Oswego, Oregon, is where authorities said two of the three suspects with alleged ties to the violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang (TdA) had been living when they allegedly plotted to kidnap a 58-year-old woman from outside of her apartment complex on January 21 in Burien, Washington, near Seattle, according to charging documents. The victim was abducted, tortured, shot, and left for dead in a mountain pass, but miraculously survived the attempted killing.

The charging documents, filed in the King County Superior Court, identified the two suspects residing at the Lake Oswego home as Kevin Daniel Sanabria-Ojeda, 24, of Venezuela, who was taken into custody by the FBI on January 30, and an unnamed co-accomplice, who remains at large. The home is considered so dangerous that Lake Oswego Police require a three-car minimum response when responding to calls at the address, according to police records.

Ric Grenell Uncovers $26 Million in ‘Fake Revenue’ at Kennedy Center — Vows Criminal Charges for Biden Appointees

President Trump’s choice to run the Kennedy Center has said he has found $26 million in fraudulent revenue.

Addressing several board members during a dinner in the White House’s State Dining Room, Grenell stated that a review of the center’s budgets from the past two years had uncovered what he described as “$26 million in phantom revenue—fake revenue.”

“It’s criminal,” Grenell said. “We’re going to refer this to the U.S. attorney’s office here.”

The board’s former chairman, David M. Rubenstein, has denied any wrongdoing.

“With full transparency, the financial reports were reviewed and approved by the Kennedy Center’s audit committee and full board as well as a major accounting firm,” his spokesperson told The New York Times.

Trump, meanwhile, took aim at the center for promoting political propaganda under its previous leaderhsip.

“Instead of putting forward programming that tears our country down and tears our country apart, the Kennedy Center should be the nation’s premier venue for lifting up the best of our country and lifting up the American arts, theater, music and culture,” Trump said.

“Black Fatigue” Goes Viral: Everyone Including Blacks Is Tired Of Ghetto Behavior

The progressive ideal is largely to blame for the monstrous creation that is ghetto culture.  The idea that racial narcissism among blacks should not only be tolerated but celebrated has led to a surge in open animosity for societal rules and standards within the US.  Far more than any other group, the black community makes up the largest share of physical crime according to their percentage of the population. This includes robbery, aggravated assault, and homicides.

For example, black Americans make up only 13% of the population but commit around 52% of all homicides according to FBI statistics.  The recent case of Karmelo Anthony comes to mind, a black teen who admitted to stabbing a white teen and killing him because the white teen allegedly “pushed him” (which he argues was a threat that made deadly force justifiable). 

The concept of “disrespect” as an offense that justifies murder is only one problem.  There is an identifiable trend of theatrical sociopathy within the black community that goes far beyond the norm.  The prevailing theory is that this is predominantly cultural – Black Americans have the highest rate of single parent households in the country (50% of black homes compared to 20% of white homes in 2023). Most of these households are run by single mothers.  Single mother homes are a notorious indicator of future criminality among juveniles. 

Then there is the problem of racial victim culture; the false idea that black Americans are being “oppressed” in the US by a systemic conspiracy of white patriarchs.  In reality, white Americans have been exponentially tolerant and have provided special privileges for blacks (affirmative action and DEI), largely because progressive society demands that reparations be made for slavery 150 years ago and segregation 60 years ago.  The form of those reparations has more or less been white guilt and a quiet passiveness in the face of increasing antagonism.   

Leftists claim white people should take it because historically they deserve it.  Ignore the fact that every culture on Earth had institutional slavery and all the slaves sent to the Americas were purchased from African tribes that enslaved other African tribes. 

However, it appears that the black community’s precious supply of white guilt has finally run out and people are fed up.  The term “Black Fatigue” has gone viral this week on social media, sparking a much needed conversation among not just whites, but also blacks and other minorities.  The catalyst blamed for the trend is the now widely known “Shiloh Hendrix Incident” which has led to public support and an uproar among progressives who demand the woman be prosecuted for dropping an N-bomb.

Race Fatigue in the United States

The reaction of the American left and its adjacent black political class to the arrival of 59 white refugees fleeing de facto genocide in South Africa, combined with ever-accelerating racist rhetoric and demands from America’s black population has further exposed the depth of anti-white racism in the United States and accelerated race fatigue among the vast majority of the American population.

The Episcopal Church Migration Ministries, contractually obligated to the federal government to assist in resettling refugees regardless of race or nationality since 1988, has terminated its participation in the program because of a few white South Africans refugees declaring “In light of our church’s steadfast commitment to social justice and reconciliation…we are unable to take this step.”

Bishop Sean W. Rowe, in a self-damning, openly racist statement abetting the anti-white rhetoric of the Black political class, said: “It’s against what we stand for to help white refugees fleeing South Africa.” Further, “We can’t be ourselves in the Episcopal Church and take this step of resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.”

A CNN panel, consisting primarily of black former Obama and Biden staffers and dyed-in-the-wool leftists, declared that being victims of crimes does not entitle white South Africans to asylum in the United States and that they are not the type of immigrants we want in our country because they are white.

These openly racist comments are not surprising, given that there is among the black political class a constant and endless drumbeat of anti-white rhetoric from virtually every black member of Congress, state legislators, mayors, and many of those now seeking political office. Almost all of them are enthusiastically supported by the majority of black media outlets and websites.

Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) recently claimed, “White supremacy is rampant in this country, just look at the current administration…they have contributed to racial terrorism.”

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) offered her own spin: “The United States [i.e. the white population] owes us a debt; we need reparations now.” She cited “emboldened white supremacy” as a catalyst for the introduction of reparation legislation costing $14 trillion (or 2.5 years of all taxes collected by the Federal Government).
