Minnesota dad who ranted against Trump election gunned down wife, ex-girlfriend and his 2 kids in murder-suicide

A Minnesota dad who ranted against President-elect Donald Trump online shot and killed his wife, ex-partner, and his two sons before turning the gun on himself, according to authorities.

The shooter, 46-year-old Anthony Nephew, had a “pattern of mental health issues,” Duluth Police Chief Mike Ceynowa said on Friday — one day after authorities found five people dead inside two homes in the city.

Authorities found Anthony Nephew’s ex-partner Erin Abramson, 47, and their son, Jacob Nephew, 15, dead from apparent gunshot wounds inside their home Thursday afternoon, police said.

After identifying Anthony Nephew as a suspect, police found his 45-year-old wife, Kathryn Nephew, and their 7-year-old son, Oliver Nephew, dead from gunshot wounds inside their family home close by.

Anthony Nephew was also found dead inside the home from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.

Before his rampage, Anthony Nephew had been sharing left-wing and anti-Trump posts on his Facebook account.

“My mental health and the world can no longer peacefully coexist, and a lot of the reason is religion,” Anthony Nephew wrote in July.

“I am terrified of religious zealots inflicting their misguided beliefs on me and my family. I have intrusive thoughts of being burned at the stake as a witch, or crucified on a burning cross.

“Having people actually believe that I or my child are Satan or, the anti-Christ or whatever their favorite color of boogie man they are afraid are this week.”

Dems Float Plan To Push Ailing Justice Sotomayor Off Supreme Court So Biden Can Replace Her Before Trump Is Sworn In

Democrats are reportedly having serious discussions about mounting a pressure campaign to force ailing Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to resign so Joe Biden can nominate a replacement before President-Elect Donald Trump is sworn in.

After losing their Senate majority to the GOP, Democrats are concerned that Republicans will be “revving up the old conveyor belt of conservative judicial nominees” as soon President-Elect Trump takes office, Politico reported.

For Democrats, this is a hair-on-fire moment. And though the discourse in the media is presently dominated by recriminations about how this all happened, another arguably more urgent conversation is blowing up largely outside of public view: whether to push for 70-year-old Supreme Court Justice SONIA SOTOMAYOR to step down while Dems still have the power to approve her replacement.

This isn’t simply some flight of fancy happening among progressive activists online. It’s a conversation members of the Senate are actively engaged in.

A Democrat senator told Politico that the topic of pushing Sotomayor off the Supreme Court “has come up repeatedly this week in talks with their colleagues.”

These “Beltway speculative conversations,” according to Politico, have inevitably hit roadblocks for two reasons:

(1) It’d be a risky play with the party already trying to figure out how to handle a crowded lame-duck session

(2) no senator seems to be offering to be the person to put his or her neck on their line publicly (or even privately) by pushing for Sotomayor to step aside.

When Democrats first floated the idea of jettisoning Sotomayor last year, they were accused of ableism and racism.

The names of possible replacements have been discussed, including the allegedly “moderate” D.C. Circuit Judge J. Michelle Childs, who was reportedly on Joe Biden’s SCOTUS short list, and has already been vetted.

Another name floated on Friday was none other than Kamala Harris.

Tolerance: Joy Reid Tells Viewers To Stay Away From Trump Supporting Family Members

MSNBC’s most infected Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferer Joy Reid once again proved just how tolerant and magnanimous she is by bringing on a guest who advised viewers to shun members of their own family if they voted for president elect Donald Trump.

Speaking to Dr. Amanda Calhoun, a third-year Adult/Child Psychiatry Resident at Yale School of Medicine, Reid asked “how do you interact with people who you know voted for this?

“If you are an LGBTQ person and you know someone in your family voted essentially against your rights or you’re a woman,” Reid continued, “do you recommend, just from a psychological standpoint, being around them? We got the holidays coming up.”

Calhoun responded, “So I love that you asked this question because there is a push, I think, just a societal norm that if somebody is your family, that they are entitled to your time.”

“And I think the answer is absolutely not,” she declared.

California Teacher Has Unhinged Classroom Meltdown Over Trump Win: Warns Students of ‘Concentration Camps,’ Blames Kamala’s Loss on ‘Racism and Sexism,’ and Labels Kids ‘Privileged’

In a shocking incident caught on tape, Maximiliano Perez, an Advanced Placement history teacher at Moreno Valley View High School in California, unleashed a profanity-filled tirade against Donald Trump in front of his students following the latest presidential election.

His heated speech covered everything from Trump’s supposed “Hitlerian” tendencies to accusations that Kamala Harris lost due to “white women” and “Latino men who wish they were white.”

Perez’s tirade included an array of extreme warnings and personal grievances, calling out students for their “privilege” and even likening America under Trump to potential “concentration camps.”

Corey DeAngelis, a senior fellow at the American Federation for Children, was among the first to bring attention to the recorded meltdown, in which Perez openly attacked the results of the election.

Perez reportedly told his students:

“This sh-t is not a f—ing game. Does that make sense, everybody? Can’t emphasize this enough. Can you end up in a concentration camp in your lifetime? Yes. Can you end up with no human rights? Yes. Will it happen to you? Most likely not, which is a good thing. But has Donald Trump quoted Hitler? Yes. Yes. Does he embody some of Hitler’s ideas? Yes. Donald Trump won because we have low voter turnout. People didn’t want to vote.”

In an attempt to explain Harris’s electoral loss, Perez pointed fingers at racial and gender biases, accusing white women, Black men, and Latino men of failing to support Harris, framing her defeat as a consequence of systemic racism and sexism.

#Resistance Liberals Tattoo Themselves Blue to Oppose Fascism, Spot ‘Safe People’

I don’t suppose we really needed more evidence that we have a hefty mental health pandemic on our hands in the West — that case has already been adjudicated for anyone paying attention — but, boy, has this election really ripped any remanence of a veneer of sanity off.

Via Glamour (emphasis added):

After the election of Donald Trump, many white women are feeling betrayed by the 53% of their peers who voted for him. Their answer? A blue bracelet.

What started as a way for white women to subtly signal that they supported Vice President Kamala Harris for president has ballooned to a veritable social media movement…

Trump has been openly racist and sexist during his entire time on the political stage, including during this campaign. Despite this, 53 percent of white women—according to exit polls—voted for him. (Brief caveat that exit polls are not firm polling demographic data, which we will have in the coming weeks.)…

In the wake of this reality, white women who voted for Harris online began to post… that they wished there was a way for them to know which of their fellow white women were on their side, and which voted for Trump. Others expressed a desire to signal to women of color that they were not Trump supporters…

Many white women are also encouraging their peers to not make their own bracelets but to buy them from Black-owned jewelry companies. On TikTok, a small business owner named Alicia shared some options from her company, Beaded & Balanced Jewelry, saying she’d sold more than 200 since the trend began*. She even made a “unity bracelet” with blue beads specifically for it.

*How very typical and predictable that the BLM-type race grifters are being considered in the blue bracelet hysteria by white liberal women wracked with self-loathing and guilt, desperate to tithe to the intersectional church in hopes of getting a pardon for the immutable sin of their skin color.

But this lady, who appears to have way bigger problems than a naughty orange man as president, has an even better — and by that I mean more clinically insane — idea: let’s tat our wrists blue because tattoos are “more permanent, more serious.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom calls special session of the legislature to ‘Trump proof’ lefty laws: ‘Shameless political stunt’

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is calling for a special legislative session to “Trump-proof” the liberal state’s policies against Donald Trump’s impending presidency — even after voters made a massive shift to the right on Election Day.

Golden State Republicans quickly blasted the move.

““This special session is a shameless political stunt. The only ‘problem’ it will solve is Gavin Newsom’s insecurity that not enough people are paying attention to him,” the California state Assembly’s Republican leader James Gallagher said after the governor’s proclamation.

Newsom’s gensture is similar to announcements by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and state Attorney General Letita James on Wednesday that they will organize their offices to work against Trump policies in the wake of his reelection.

Scientific American editor issues screed against America for electing Trump

Laura Helmuth, editor-in-chief of Scientific American, faced backlash after posting a series of inflammatory comments following Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the presidential election.

In posts made on Bluesky, a social media platform considered an alternative to X, Helmuth accused her home state of Indiana of being racist and sexist for voting for Trump.

“Every four years I remember why I left Indiana (where I grew up) and remember why I respect the people who stayed and are trying to make it less racist and sexist. The moral arc of the universe isn’t going to bend itself,” she posted. 

Another post read, “Solidarity to everybody whose meanest, dumbest, most bigoted high-school classmates are celebrating early results because f*ck them to the moon and back.” In a separate post, Helmuth commented, “I apologize to younger voters that my Gen X is so full of f*cking fascists.”

FEMA Official Ordered Relief Workers To Skip Houses With Trump Signs

A federal disaster relief official ordered workers to bypass the homes of Donald Trump’s supporters as they surveyed damage caused by Hurricane Milton in Florida, according to internal correspondence obtained by The Daily Wire and confirmed by multiple federal employees. 

A FEMA supervisor told workers in a message to “avoid homes advertising Trump” as they canvassed Lake Placid, Florida to identify residents who could qualify for federal aid, internal messages viewed by The Daily Wire reveal. The supervisor, Marn’i Washington, relayed this message both verbally and in a group chat used by the relief team, multiple government employees told The Daily Wire. 

The government employees told The Daily Wire that at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags were skipped from the end of October and into November due to the guidance, meaning they were not given the opportunity to qualify for FEMA assistance. Images shared with The Daily Wire show that houses were skipped over by the workers, who wrote in the government system messages such as: “Trump sign no entry per leadership.”

It is unclear whether the same guidance was issued elsewhere in the country. The employees were part of a Department of Homeland Security surge capacity force team, meaning they volunteered from other DHS agencies to help an understaffed FEMA as it dealt with a second major hurricane in a span of just a few weeks.

‘Unmistakable message’: Kansas City Star editor urges judge to make ‘shocking’ decision

The election marked a first in United States’ 248-year history when Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris while awaiting sentencing on 34 criminal charges. The president-elect has faced criminal indictments in three other cases as well.

Justice Juan Merchan is scheduled to sentence Trump on those 34 charges on Nov. 26.

In an op-ed published by the Kansas City Star on Friday, journalist Bill Dalton argued that Merchan can honor “the rule of law” — by throwing the book at Trump.

“On November 5,” Dalton writes, “the American people did the unthinkable — they elected a convicted felon president. Judge Juan Merchan should now do what was once unthinkable — force a president-elect to take the oath of office in a jail cell.

“After taking the oath on January 20, Donald J. Trump’s first act of his second term undoubtedly would be to try to pardon himself and walk out a free man. But the surreal scene, while certainly shocking for the rest of the free world to witness, would send an unmistakable message — the rule of law still rules in America.”

Dalton continues, “That message needs to be sent because, after Inauguration Day, the rule of law will cease to exist for sitting presidents thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court’s immunity ruling. Trump proved Tuesday, aided and abetted by 72 million voters, that crime does indeed pay. He thumbed his nose at America’s once respected system of justice. He made a laughingstock of prosecutors and the judicial process. He turned what used to be a political liability for candidates into a political asset for fundraising.”

Dalton argued that Merchan “should sentence and jail Trump while he is still a private citizen, no better nor more privileged than any of the millions of people who voted for or against him.”

“Merchan should show the same courage that Vice President Mike Pence showed on January 6 when he stood for the rule of law, risking his life and destroying his political career in the process,” Dalton wrote.

Predicting the Opposition’s Next Move

NY Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has produced a recording of her silly self saying “We are about to enter a political period of fascism and authoritarianism. It is not uncommon to jail political dissidents or legislative opponents.”

This is precisely the outcome that AOC and her comrades want. As we saw during the George Floyd riots, a shadowy network of DNC-aligned nonprofits, funded by leftist billionaires, can quickly mobilize hordes of mentally deranged youth to take to the streets to cause chaos, violence, and property destruction.

These people want the new Trump administration to crack down on their emotionally dysregulated shock troops, and they will use trained agents-provocateurs to execute their plan. A crackdown will seemingly justify AOC’s claim that “We are about to enter a political period of fascism and authoritarianism.”

How to nip this in the bud before it results in injuries, death, property destruction, and pile of needless drama and distraction?
