Trans suspect accused of killing Pennsylvania officer was earlier released without bail by leftist nonbinary judge

A transgender suspect has been arrested over the fatal stabbing attack of a Pennsylvania State Police officer on a popular recreation trail outside of Pittsburgh on Monday. The suspect identified as Anthony Alexi “Antonia” Quesen, 25, of Pittsburgh, was previously arrested in June 2023 on felony robbery charges but was quickly released without bail by leftist nonbinary judge Xander Orenstein of the Magisterial District Court. Quesen skipped all further arraignments for that case and allegedly went on to kill.

Quesen, a biological male who identifies as a woman, was taken into custody Monday evening on criminal homicide charges. He is being held at the Allegheny County Jail awaiting arraignment, police said. The victim, identified as 44-year-old Benjamin Brallier, was a Liquor Enforcement Officer for the Pennsylvania State Police Department.

Here We Go Again: FBI Claims ‘Russia Russia Russia’ Behind Viral Fake Video of Trump Ballots Being Ripped Up in Pennsylvania

The FBI has once again pointed fingers at Russia, asserting that a viral video allegedly showing Pennsylvania mail ballots marked for Donald Trump being torn up was crafted by “Russian actors.”

The video, which made waves across social media last week, appears to show a worker discarding ballots marked for Trump, while those for Kamala Harris were left untouched.

The Bucks County Republican Committee acted quickly, investigating the video and cooperating with the Trump campaign’s legal team. In a statement, the committee debunked the clip, pointing to inconsistencies in the footage.

The video, they stated, showed ballots with the wrong envelope color, incorrect paper quality, and lacked essential details like a return address.

Voters in Pennsylvania Receive Threatening Letters Warning ‘There Will Be Consequences’ For Supporting Trump

Pennsylvania residents with Trump signs in their yard are reportedly receiving disturbing letters warning them that “there will be consequences” for supporting former President Donald Trump.

“We know where you live, you are in the data base,” the anonymous author states in the letter, first obtained by The Post Millennial. “In the dead of a cold winters night, this year, or next and beyond, there is no knowing what will happen. Your property, your family may be impacted, your cat may get shot. And more.”

The threatening message was written on a “Trump 2024” letterhead, and began with “a quick note of thanks for being engaged in the election and for your participation in the process.”

The author then says he is “writing with a concern about the level of political violence in the country during this election year as well as the threats to our democracy and freedoms,” and asks recipients  to “take a close look at the truth, facts and the future for a better America where we can all live in harmony together.”

From there, the letter devolves into an anti-Trump screed not terribly different in style from the campaign rhetoric of most Democrats, including Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

“Your candidate is a felon, rapist, desecrator, an immoral flawed man,” the letter states. “He is a major reason violence [i]s up, remember January 6th and Charlottesville? By supporting him, you are declaring your public support for a disregard of the law, civil discourse and unity. You are indicating your hatred for minorities, immigrants, foreigners, women, education, the rights of your fellow citizens, the rights of women to make decisions over their own healthcare needs.”

The unhinged author even dinged Trump for disliking Harris-supporting pop star Taylor Swift, insisting she “has contributed nothing but joy to the world.”

The letter writer then issued an chilling “reminder that your visible support comes with a price and at a cost,” and “There will be consequences,” before threatening recipients that their property, families, and even cats could be impacted by their vote for Trump.

“Your vote for this guy is seen as treading on my rights. You tread on me at your peril, motherf-cker. We look forward to visiting in the future,” the message concluded. It was signed” “Sincerely,  Patriotic citizen and a true  American.”

Pennsylvania Angler Fights Back Against Warrantless Property Searches by Fish & Boat Commission

In a bold move to defend his constitutional rights, Tim Thomas, a resident of Susquehanna County, has filed a federal lawsuit against the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.

The case challenges a state law that allows waterways conservation officers (WCOs) to enter private property without a warrant. Thomas, with the support of the Institute for Justice (IJ), hopes to strike down this law and restore the Fourth Amendment protections against warrantless searches.

Thomas and his late wife, Stephanie, bought their peaceful lakeside cabin on Butler Lake in 2014, but their sanctuary was soon disrupted. In 2023, Officer Ty Moon of the Fish and Boat Commission entered their property on two occasions without a warrant based on unfounded fishing violations.

Moon ignored multiple “No Trespassing” signs, walked around their home, and even confiscated fishing rods from Thomas’ dock. Both citations were later dismissed in court.

When WCO Moon entered the Thomases’ side yard, Stephanie (Tim Thomas’ wife) was taking a bath in the cabin, which has an uncovered window facing the yard; WCO Moon walked within 3 feet of that window as he walked through the side yard and into the backyard.

What troubles Thomas most is the sense of invasion. “We bought this cabin for peace and privacy,” he said, recalling how Moon passed by his windows, even as his wife, battling stage four cancer, was inside. “The first time was bad enough, but the second time felt even more intrusive.”

Thomas’ lawsuit, filed in September 2024, highlights the conflict between Pennsylvania law and the U.S. Constitution’s Fourth Amendment, which protects citizens from unreasonable searches.

The law in question grants WCOs sweeping authority to enter private land and conduct searches without a warrant, a power far beyond what is granted to typical law enforcement officers.

John Wrench, an attorney with IJ, emphasized the gravity of the case. “You don’t lose your constitutional rights because you live near a lake,” he said. “If the government wants to search your property, they need a warrant. That’s a fundamental right in this country.”

The lawsuit follows other similar legal battles challenging the so-called “Open Fields Doctrine,” which permits law enforcement to search rural lands without warrants under certain conditions. Recent victories, like one in Tennessee earlier this year challenging warrantless trespassing and surveillance on private land, suggest a growing push to restore Fourth Amendment protections against such overreach.

Here We Go: Top Pennsylvania Election Official Says to Expect Several Days to Process and Count the Ballots Again This Year

Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt told reporters to expect several days to process and count the ballots again this year.

Al Schmidt told the far left Washington Post that it will take days to decide the election in Pennsylvania.

Al Schmidt: “But, unlike most other states red and blue alike, we cannot begin our counties cannot begin processing mail-in ballots before seven AM on election morning. Plenty of other states again Republican states like Florida and others allow this process to begin in advance And what that means is in those states you know the male the male vote by around midnight on election night except for the ones that maybe came in that day or that evening. That’s not the case in Pennsylvania because the process cannot begin until seven AM on election morning. And it is acutely frustrating to have a technical problem with a technical solution that is nonpartisan nonpolitical does not benefit any candidate or any party and have Pennsylvania go through this in twenty twenty and that issue having not been addressed in the last four years by our legislature… Meaning that it can happen again.”

For the record, Al Schmidt is a Trump-hating RINO. He was chosen as Secretary of State by Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro.

DOJ Says Allowing A Pennsylvania Prosecutor Who Uses Medical Marijuana To Possess A Gun Would Be ‘Dangerous’

In a new court filing by the U.S. Department of Justice, attorneys for the federal government argue that the nationwide ban on marijuana consumers owning firearms is constitutional and should remain in place, arguing it aligns with other restrictions on gun ownership by dangerous, mentally ill or intoxicated people.

The brief, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, is the latest in a case filed earlier this year by Warren County District Attorney Robert Greene, a registered medical marijuana patient in the state. Greene teamed up with the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) to file suit in January against the government, including U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and the heads of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) and the FBI.

The original suit says that while Greene “intends to lawfully purchase, possess, and utilize firearms and ammunition so that he may exercise his constitutional right to keep and bear arms for self-defense and all other lawful purposes,” he’s forbidden from doing so because of his status as a state-certified medical cannabis patient.

In DOJ’s latest filing, the government says that’s by design. Its motion asks the court to dismiss Greene’s case.

“Marijuana’s physical and mental effects make it dangerous for a person to handle firearms,” it says, “and also impair a person’s judgment, including judgement about whether to use firearms.”

It also notes that possession of even state-legal medical marijuana remains a federal crime. The government, however, has not prioritized enforcement of prohibition against state-regulated medical cannabis programs, and a federal budget rider prevents the use of funds to interfere with the state-legal programs.

Johnson demands Zelenskyy fire Ukraine’s ambassador to US amid fallout from Pennsylvania trip

House Speaker Mike Johnson is calling on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to fire Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States after she allegedly organized a U.S. taxpayer-funded visit to a battleground state ahead of the 2024 presidential election, Fox News Digital has learned. 

Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Markarova, organized a tour of an American manufacturing site for Zelenskyy over the weekend in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state ahead of November’s election. 

Johnson, R-La., said that tour was led by a “top political surrogate” for the Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, and “purposely excluded” Republicans. Johnson called it clear “election interference.” 

“I demand that you immediately fire Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United States, Oksana Markarova,” Johnson wrote in a letter to Zelenskyy exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital Wednesday.

The Great Job Replacement: How Corporations Are Replacing American Workers With “Temporary Protected Status” Migrants Across Ohio & Pennsylvania

Another burgeoning crisis involving the importation of Haitian migrants is bubbling over, this time not in Ohio – but Pennsylvania too.

Recently at one of his rallies, former President Donald Trump spoke of Charleroi, Pennsylvania, detailing that the 4,000 person town has experienced a 2,000% surge in the Haitian migrant population under Kamala Harris.

Charleroi councilman, Larry Celaschi explained the worsening situation.

Councilman Celaschi says that Charleroi is getting no money or funding from having such a large number of Haitian migrants dumped in their town.

Celaschi describes that Charleroi is already unable to make ends meet with their budget and is now somehow expected to find extra revenue to bear the strain of an influx of Haitians on their town’s infrastructure.

Celaschi also explains that there has been a huge spike in car crashes and that the town needs new traffic signage in English and Creole so migrants can understand what to do when operating a vehicle on the roadways.

Over the past five years, 1.4 million native-born U.S. workers have lost their job. In that same span of time, 3 million foreign-born workers gained employment.

PA DMV Refuses Trump Voter Registration Group, Weeks After Allowing Illegals To Be Registered At Same Facility

Early Vote Action Regional Director Bobby Jeffries has just exposed how the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation allowed an unknown and unidentified non-profit group to register illegal-immigrants and felons on taxpayer property.

When Jeffries was sent a tip about this activity by a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation employee, he sprung into action and went to the Harrisburg PennDot location to ask for permission to register LEGAL voters at the same facility. The tipster asked to remain anonymous, for fear of losing their livelihood.

PennDOT initially agreed to do so. Jeffries recently exposed how General Scott Perry, a sitting member of the United States Congress, and avowed Trump supporter, is facing a globalist-funded Democrat.
