California Family Injured in Bloody Maui-Resort Alleged Anti-White Brawl

A California family’s vacation at a popular Maui resort took a horrifying turn when a group of local youths allegedly attacked them in an alleged racially motivated assault. One family member says the ringleader of the group threatened the family before the Friday-night assault, saying, “We’re going to beat up the haole boys,” a Hawaiian slang term commonly used to refer to a white person.

In a report by Hawaii News Now, relatives of the California family described the vicious attack that left one family member needing emergency medical treatment for a large gash in the head caused by one attacker striking the victim with a chair. The man was treated at a local hospital for the gruesome injury that required 13 staples to close.

The incident began Friday night at the Kaanapali Alii resort in West Maui and involved approximately 30 people, according to the Maui Police Department. The fight occurred at the resort’s barbecue area and resulted in at least six people suffering injuries that required medical attention. Police arrested a 20-year-old resident of Maui on suspicion of assault.

Family member Joseph Headfield described to Hawaii News Now how the fight began with verbal taunts from the group saying, “There were three females, one of which was the ringleader. She got up in people’s faces, said ‘We’re going to beat up your boys tonight. We’re going to beat up the haole boys.’”

Another family member moved children away from the group as tensions began to rise. Family members say the group of local youths was harassing visitors before the assault began. A witness described the assault, saying the family was being slapped, punched, and kicked by the group of youths, with the most serious injury resulting in the man who suffered the bloody gash to his head when struck by the chair.

The family believes the attack was racially motivated due to the threats made in the lead-up to the melee and should be investigated as a hate crime. Daniel, a family member who spoke to Hawaii News Now, said, “Our group consisted of ages from 85 to 11. We were just not expecting any of this. We were on a private resort property, and we were just overwhelmed, completely, totally overwhelmed.

According to the Maui Police Department, when officers arrived around 10:00 pm on Friday, they encountered approximately 15 people gathered near the pool at the resort. Seven members of a California family provided investigators with information about the alleged assault, saying the attackers had fled from the private resort before police arrived.

The incident remains under investigation.

‘Anti-violence’ activist sentenced to decades behind bars … for murder!

An “anti-violence” activist in the leftist state of Colorado has been sentenced to decades behind prison bars for murder.

It is Lumumba Sayers Sr. who has been give 48 years in the Colorado Department of Corrections for second-degree murder and 18 months each on charges of tampering with evidence and attempted tampering, according to a report from Denver’s Channel 7. The terms were ordered to run consecutively.

A report at Law & Crime said District Attorney Brian Mason confirmed, “Mr. Sayers’ actions directly undermined the work he claimed to dedicate his life to. A man who presented himself as a mentor to young people and an advocate for nonviolence chose to commit the very act he said he stood against.”

The convict was a mixed martial arts fighter who “provided community outreach to end the scourge of youth violence,” the report said.

But when his son, Lumumba Sayers Jr., was shot and killed in Denver’s Five Points, his father was charged with being out for revenge.

“At the birthday party, the defendant shot and killed a friend of the man police once believed was the prime suspect in — and once arrested for — the Five Points shooting [of the younger Sayers]. Sayers Sr. was originally arrested and charged with counts of first-degree murder and felony menacing,” the report said.

“Mr. Sayers murdered the father of a young boy at that boy’s fifth birthday party, an unconscionable and brutal act of violence,” the district attorney’s statement said. “This is particularly heartbreaking because Mr. Sayers had devoted part of his career to advancing the message of anti-violence. Justice is carried out in courtrooms, not in parking lots in front of children by someone seeking revenge.”

The convict was charged with the killing of Malcolm Watson, 28, in 2024, at a birthday party.

As the victim was leaving the party at around 5 p.m., a man walked up to him, pulled out a gun, and shot him “in the head at close range,” witnesses told law enforcement, the report said.

“Witnesses had stated the [shooter’s son] had been murdered about a year ago by a friend of the deceased,” a case affidavit charged. “[T]his murder was probably in retaliation or revenge.”

Sayers told the courtroom someone else fired the fatal shots and then fled, and he was “only attempting to retrieve his $15,000 gold necklace that somehow ended up near the victim’s body.”

The defense lawyers cited the convict’s “extraordinary life” and his involvement in the “Gloves Up, Guns Down” program that pushes young people away from violence.

Denver’s KDVR television said Sayers had worked “as an anti-violence advocate in the Aurora area,” and was “well known in the community for working to curb youth violence at the Heavy Hands Heavy Hearts gym in Aurora.”

Dem Political Operative Arrested for Trying to Take Cop’s Gun During NH Traffic Stop

A Montpelier woman identified as a longtime Democratic political operative in Vermont and Bernie Sanders senior campaign aide has been charged after New Hampshire police say a Saturday, July 18 traffic incident escalated into an attempt to seize an officer’s firearm during her arrest.

According to the Lebanon, New Hampshire Police Department, officers responded at about 6:13 PM Saturday, July 18, to multiple 911 calls reporting a white Mazda stopped in the middle of Mechanic Street near Slayton Hill, blocking traffic.

Witnesses told police the driver, identified as Sheila Healy, 39, of Montpelier, was yelling at passing motorists and people who stopped to help. Callers also reported Healy claimed a sniper was targeting her and warned that anyone approaching would be shot.

Police said the Hartford VT Police Department had alerted Lebanon officers shortly before the incident that the same vehicle had crossed into New Hampshire with its hazard lights activated after allegedly traveling about 60 mph in a 30 mph zone and running multiple red lights.

When officers arrived, they found Healy attempting to refuel the vehicle with a gasoline can while it remained stopped in the travel lane. Police said she ignored repeated commands to keep her hands visible, re-entered the vehicle, and refused orders to get out.

According to police, officers removed Healy from the vehicle and attempted to place her under arrest. During the struggle, she allegedly pulled away, refused to walk, and reached for an officer’s holstered handgun, attempting to remove it from the duty belt. Officers prevented her from taking the weapon and completed the arrest without injuries.

Healy was held on preventative detention and transported to the Grafton County House of Corrections.

She is charged with attempted taking of a firearm from a law enforcement officer, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, reckless operation, simple assault on a law enforcement officer, three counts of criminal threatening, and parking or stopping where prohibited. She is scheduled to be arraigned July 20 in Lebanon District Court.

Lebanon Police Chief Phillip Roberts commended the officers’ actions, calling the attempted disarming of an officer “among the most serious and dangerous attacks an Officer can face,” and credited their teamwork and restraint with preventing serious injury.

Healy has worked in Democratic politics for many years. Her online professional profile lists her current position as full-time campaign manager for Friends of Bernie Sanders, a role she reportedly began in July.

However, WCAX reports that a spokesperson for Sanders said in a statement that Healy “has not had any formal role or voluntary role since the end of the 2020 presidential campaign. She is not associated with and does not represent the Friends of Bernie Sanders campaign or the Senate office.”

She previously served as labor outreach director for Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign and has held positions as field director for Sanders’ U.S. Senate reelection campaign, senior advisor to the Vermont Democratic Party, regional vice president of the Vermont AFL-CIO, and executive director of the Arizona Democratic Party. 

Court records show she filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against the Arizona Democratic Party in 2017 following her dismissal. The suit alleged she had been offered the Vermont Democratic Party executive director position but declined it,  based on expectation of a bonus that was not provided.

Italy Once Conquered the World, Today Citizens Aren’t Allowed to Defend Themselves

Watching the news and conservative social media feeds from Italy, one sees that migrant crime has exploded across the country. Even global tourism destinations such as Rome have become unsafe at night, while robberies and other violent or sex-related crimes are occurring at an alarming rate, even during the day.

For two thousand years, Rome projected power across three continents, building an empire on the discipline of its legions and the authority of its law. Today, Italy is being overrun with invaders, and an Italian citizen who fights back against a criminal in their own home or shop faces a mandatory criminal investigation and often a prison sentence longer than the one handed to the person who attacked them.

Gun ownership is highly restricted, castle laws are virtually nonexistent, and even the police are discouraged from defending themselves or using force to apprehend noncompliant criminals.

Under the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure, any use of lethal or serious force against an intruder or attacker automatically triggers an “iscrizione nel registro degli indagate,” a formal entry into the register of criminal suspects. Prosecutors typically open the case as manslaughter or “eccesso colposo di legittima difesa” (culpable excess in self-defense), pending forensic and ballistic review.

A 2019 reform, Law no. 36/2019, was intended to strengthen self-defense rights, establishing that proportionality between defense and offense is presumed inside one’s home or business. In practice, judges continue to draw a hard line: force used against an active, ongoing threat is defensible; force used against a suspect who is already fleeing is not, and courts have consistently classified the latter as excessive or even as an act of vengeance.

American laws are generally much more favorable toward self-defense and the defense of one’s home. California Penal Code section 198.5, a “castle doctrine” statute, gives homeowners a legal presumption of reasonable fear once an intruder has forcibly entered, shifting the burden onto prosecutors to disprove that fear.

Italian law, even after 2019, still requires the defender to establish that danger was actual and the response proportionate, case by case. Separately, 38 U.S. states have “stand your ground” laws removing any duty to retreat anywhere a person is lawfully present. Italy has no equivalent.

Haiti Descends Deeper Into Chaos as Gang Terror Displaces Millions and Children Are Recruited Into Violence

Haiti’s security and humanitarian crisis continues to spiral, with heavily armed gangs controlling most of the capital, expanding into new regions, and leaving millions of Haitians trapped between violence, hunger, and institutional collapse.

The severity of the crisis was underscored this week by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz, who briefed the U.N. Security Council after visiting Haiti. Waltz described his trip as one marked by “painful anecdotes,” recounting scenes that illustrate the extraordinary brutality facing ordinary Haitians every day.

A Nation Held Hostage by Criminal Gangs

According to the United Nations, armed gangs now control approximately 85 percent of the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area and continue expanding into other regions, including Artibonite and Centre.

The criminal organizations have taken over major highways, neighborhoods, ports, fuel terminals, and key transportation corridors, severely restricting the movement of people, humanitarian aid, and commercial goods.

Beyond territorial control, many gangs have evolved into parallel governing structures, imposing their own rules, collecting extortion payments, controlling food distribution, and financing their operations through kidnappings, arms trafficking, and organized crime.

The result has been the near-collapse of state authority across large portions of the country.

Horrific Stories From the Ground

Speaking before the U.N. Security Council, Ambassador Waltz shared several stories that captured the human cost of Haiti’s crisis.

One volunteer serving with Haiti’s Gang Suppression Force reportedly surrendered himself after gang members kidnapped his family. After securing their release, he was executed publicly by the gang as a warning to others.

In another incident, Haitian police officers traveling in an armored vehicle became trapped after their vehicle was immobilized. Gang members surrounded the officers, set the vehicle on fire, and killed them in an exceptionally brutal attack.

Perhaps most disturbing was the story of an 8-year-old boy who had been systematically groomed by gang members. According to Waltz, the child had been taught to kill dogs as preparation for future acts of violence before eventually being rescued by security forces.

The ambassador warned that many other children remain under gang control.

Children Increasingly Drawn Into Organized Crime

International organizations have expressed growing alarm over the recruitment of children by Haiti’s criminal organizations.

U.N. agencies estimate that children may now comprise up to half of the membership of some gangs, with minors being recruited as lookouts, couriers, combatants, and participants in violent crimes.

Gang leaders have also expanded their recruitment efforts through social media platforms, including TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram, where they glorify violence, display weapons, and portray themselves as revolutionary figures to attract vulnerable young people.

Humanitarian Catastrophe Continues to Worsen

The humanitarian consequences continue to mount.

According to the United Nations:

More than 2,300 people have been killed since the beginning of 2026.

More than 1,100 people have been injured.

A record 1.47 million Haitians have been displaced by gang violence.

Approximately 6.4 million people require humanitarian assistance, including food, clean water, medical care, and shelter.

Many neighborhoods have effectively become no-go zones where residents face constant threats of kidnapping, extortion, sexual violence, and forced displacement.

Republican Lawmakers Demand Action After Somali Gangs Open Fire in Minnesota Park

A shooting in a Minnesota park has spurred Republican legislators to call for a crackdown on Somali gang activity.

Crime Watch Minneapolis said that about 50 Somali youth were at Yancey Park in Edina when shots were fired on Wednesday night, according to Alpha News.

Residents reported hearing more than 20 gunshots. No one has been arrested. No injuries were reported.

Republican Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota said this latest incident is proof action is needed.

“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, if you won’t assimilate, then get the hell out of here,” Emmer said.

“First it was an estimated $9 billion in fraud, now it’s out-of-control violence. These Somali gangs have shot up high school graduations and assaulted players on opposing basketball teams with tire irons. It’s absolute madness, and something must be done,” he said.

Migrant accused of murdering 3 apartment staffers over parking spat said he ‘hated the American system’: cops

The crazed migrant accused of murdering three people over a petty parking-garage dispute told investigators he “hated the American system” that had thwarted him from bringing his wife and kids here from Ethiopia.

Tsegaab Binessu was busted late Monday in Virginia, Minn., some 200 miles north of the St. Paul residences where he allegedly “executed” Nansi Fuentes Zambrano, 25, Dena Silcox, 56, and Adam Wilwerding, 43, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

All three were staffers at his apartment complex where he was fighting to cancel his $65-a-month parking garage contract in the hopes of joining the Navy, the complaint said.

Once arrested, Binessu “complained about and said he hated the American system” that he blamed on destroying his family life, the complaint said.

Binessu, who had a US passport and Social Security card, told police that for several years he had tried without success to bring his wife and children to the US, according to the complaint.

The prolonged immigration process, he said, led to his divorce and separation from his kids. He claimed he quit his job as a truck driver due to the stress of the situation, the document states.

DISTURBING: Kentucky Newspaper Caught Publishing Sinister Threats to President Trump, His Administration, and Supporters

A small local Kentucky paper is going viral after publishing serious direct threats to the lives of President Trump, members of his administration, and his supporters in what is either a lazy oversight or something more sinister.

On Thursday, Libs of TikTok discovered that the The Mountain Eagle, a newspaper in Whitesburg, KY, had published two death threats in the paper’s “Speak Your Piece” section, which allows readers to anonymously sound off on what is on their minds.

One recent comment calls for not only throwing Trump out of office but also executing him and all his fellow “cultists.”

“Get that Nazi p*dophile traitor out of office and take his entire corrupt administration with him,” one reader says. “Put them all 10 feet deep in concrete and Quickline and then start hunting down the rest of the cultists.”

The second death threat comes from yesterday’s “Speak Your Piece.” The reader starts by whining about Trump discussing sending “Gestapo” agents to the polls before calling for the deaths of federal agents.

“Trump is back to talking about posting his Gestapo agents at the polls to intimidate voters,’ the reader writes. “Don’t be intimidated.”

“Instead, give the Nazi freaks reason to fear the people. Whatever their body count reaches on election day,” the reader continues. “Double it if you find them at your polling place.”

“No argument, no discussion, just put them down.”

Possible Hate Crime as Jewish, Asian Man Stabbed in New York City

A Jewish and an Asian man were stabbed in New York City on Thursday, which police have been investigating as a possible hate crime.

The attack occurred on Central Park West this afternoon near Manhattan’s Upper West Side, per the New York Times.

According to a law enforcement official with knowledge of the matter, the attacker walked up to the first man, Chok Sung, 57, on West 84th and Central Park West and stabbed him in the back. He then went to West 86th Street, the official said, where he approached another man, Yezhak Grunhaus, 50, and stabbed him once in the chest.

Police officers responding to a 911 call about an assault in the area arrived on West 84th Street to find Mr. Sung conscious, but with a wound on his torso. Officers then discovered Mr. Grunhaus two blocks north. Both men were taken by emergency medical workers to Mount Sinai’s Morningside location, where they are expected to survive, the police said.

Police arrested a person of interest on Thursday. The identity of the assailant has not yet been released. According to the New York Post, police are “investigating claims that the suspect said ‘Allah Akbar,’ meaning ‘God is the greatest’ in Arabic, before one of the attacks.”

The Jewish victim, Yezhak Grunhaus, was wearing a yarmulke at the time of the attack, having previously left the synagogue at Central Park West and West 86th Street.

“Nava Silton, who was speaking with the victim inside the Jewish Center on West 86th Street before the attack, said she ran out and spoke to two witnesses who heard the suspect say ‘Allah Akbar’ before the stabbing,” noted NY Post.

As JNS reported last month, hate crimes against Jews have seen a staggering surge in New York City over the past year.

“The New York City Police Department said that anti-Jewish hate crimes were up 70.8% in the city last month compared to May 2025,” noted the outlet. “It didn’t inform the public that, if it compared statistics from the months in a broader way, the increase was more than double that—150%.”

“Under New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who overturned many of his predecessor’s executive orders protecting Jews and Israelis hours into his tenure, the city has twice changed the way it reports hate crimes after the Big Apple recorded a 182% increase in antisemitic hate crimes in Mamdani’s first month on the job,” it added.

Propaganda Press Hides Anti-ICE Motive Behind Latest Act Of Left-Wing Violence

n the latest example of anti-ICE violent extremism, a 43-year-old leftist rioter allegedly set a fire outside a federal building in Manhattan that houses offices for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and federal immigration courts. The suspect reportedly also set off fireworks in the Monday attack and had multiple pellet guns, a machete, three knives, and two axes. But you wouldn’t necessarily know that this violent attack was motivated by anti-ICE sentiment if you happened to skim some of the headlines from the propaganda press.

Andrew Arrabaca is a former U.S. Army Patriot missile systems mechanic, and according to Fox 5, he came to the federal building “armed with six incendiary devices, commercial-grade fireworks, a bucket of suspected gasoline, two axes, a hammer, a machete, three knives and airsoft pellet guns/rifles.” Video captured an individual alleged to be Arrabac pouring liquid outside the entrance to the building Monday morning before setting off fireworks to ignite flames in an attack authorities say was “driven by opposition to federal immigration enforcement.”

“He came armed with bad intentions, looking to injure people and harm people,” Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s New York Field Office James Barnacle said, according to Fox 5. “He is an anti-American, anti-government extremist. We know that from what he said post-arrest, and we know that from the actions he tried to take.”

This is all crucial context to the attack, yet the propaganda press purposely obfuscated these details.

Pix 11’s Mira Wassef and James Ford headlined their piece: “Armed man accused of setting off fireworks outside 26 Federal Plaza in NYC: FBI.” The “reporters” did acknowledge the anti-ICE motive in the lede, writing, “An armed man with an anti-ICE agenda was arrested for allegedly setting off fireworks near a federal immigration building in Lower Manhattan Monday morning, authorities said.”

But if Pix 11 knew enough to identify the suspect’s anti-ICE agenda in the first sentence of its story, there was no justification for omitting it from the headline (especially when the motive is central to understanding the attack) — unless of course the outlet wanted to downplay anti-ICE violence because it would hurt the left’s crusade to end immigration enforcement.
