Three Years Too Late, Kagan Condemns Leftist Threats Against SCOTUS

It only took three years, but Associate Justice Elena Kagan finally found it within herself to condemn leftist threats against her Republican-appointed colleagues — and it’s not hard to guess why.

Speaking at a judicial conference in California on Thursday, the Obama appointee discussed the “threats to personal safety” and an “endangerment of judges.” She specifically referenced the (leftist-led) threats and demonstrations that came about following the leak of the high court’s 2022 Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade.

“That’s something that my court dealt with … a few years ago when Dobbs came down. When some of my colleagues, like my colleagues on the majority side, were confronted with protests outside their houses, including houses with children in them,” Kagan said, while also mentioning the gunman arrested for attempting to assassinate Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

“That is scary stuff,” she added.

It’s nice to see Kagan criticize the threats and attacks against her Republican-appointed colleagues. It would have been even nicer had she emphatically done so back when it mattered.

As not-so-subtly indicated by Kagan herself during Thursday’s conference, the real reason for her sudden outspokenness on the issue appears to be her anger with President Trump and conservatives’ verbal criticisms of left-wing activists and judges’ weaponization of the legal system to stymie the president’s policy agenda.

Speaking in general terms, Kagan acknowledged that judges are “fair game for all kinds of criticism, strong criticism, pointed criticism, but vilifying judges … is a step beyond and ought to be understood as such.” The Obama appointee subsequently encouraged judges not to allow such pressures — which she dutifully classified as “threats” — to affect their jurisprudence.

“In the face of these sorts of threats to an independent judiciary, judges just need to do what they are obligated to do, which is to do law in the best way they know how to do, make independent, reasoned judgments based on precedent, based on other law, to not be inhibited by any of these threats,” she said.

Kagan’s remarks echo comments issued by her fellow Democrat-appointed colleagues, Associate Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Wisconsin County Democrat Staffer Made Death Threats to Rep. Tony Wied, His Office

A staffer for the Democratic Party of Brown County, Wisconsin, made death threats against Rep. Tony Wied (R-WI) and his office, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.

On April 9, a member of Wied’s staff reported to Capitol Police threats made against the congressman and one of his legislative correspondents.

According to the report, the man said the “Congressman should be given the death penalty” and the “Congressman deserves death as well as anyone who is involved in his office,” which was directed toward the legislative correspondent. The man making the threats to the staffer repeated this three times before the call was ended.

On May 1, the man sent a threatening email to Wied’s office making disturbing allegations against the congressman. The email stated:

dear Mr. Wied,
you must be doing some serious drugs cause you are hallucinating! on all things. You haven’t worked for your constituents yet. You have tried to kill our children(repeatedly) . You have and continue to to try to line your pockets and the pockets of your millionaire friends. You have committed Treason every day since Jan. 20th. . you have committed mass murder by sending arms to Israel and made the American people complicit with war crimes(yes, I told President Biden, Biden and S. Johnson this). Hopefully new can get you all shipped to the Haage to stand trial for this ( wonderful dream ,by the way).Good luck in hell.

The man making the threats against Wied and his office appears to be Carl J. Hujet, an area representative for West Green Bay.

Hujet is a frequent Democrat donor who has given money to Kristin Lyerly, Wied’s Democrat opponent during the 2024 congressional elections. Wied’s staff contacted Capitol Police and confirmed the identity of the man making threats to his office as Hujet.

Wied told Breitbart News in a written statement, “Threats against myself and my team will not be tolerated. We should be able to disagree on policy without resorting to personal attacks or wishing harm on one another. It’s sad to see that an active member of the Democratic Party of Brown County would be among those making these threats.”

He continued, “I hope the Democratic Party of Brown County will denounce this individual and make it clear that threats against my team and me are unacceptable for any reason. They need to turn down the temperature and get back to having real policy debates.”

The man’s threats to Wied and his office come at a time when many threats have been made against President Donald Trump and others in political office.

Feds Arrest Man Who Vowed to Kill Everyone on Epstein List with Machete

A 31-year-old Florida man has been arrested after allegedly threatening to murder individuals he believed were associated with Jeffrey Epstein’s purported “client list,” following a public outcry over the Department of Justice’s disclosure that no such list exists, as reported by The New York Post.

According to a criminal complaint filed in federal court, Terrell Bailey-Corsey made a series of violent threats on the social media platform X, beginning with a July 15 post in which he said:

“Everyone involved if I see them in real life I will KILL. On sight. With a machete so everyone can see the blood and gore of the moment.”

Bailey-Corsey’s comments reportedly came in response to an exchange he had with Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot integrated on X.

The interaction followed the DOJ’s announcement that there was no maintained list of Epstein’s alleged associates, despite long-standing speculation and public demand for transparency.

“You can’t fear death so you can’t understand. I will KILL EVERYONE ON THE LIST. ON SIGHT. AND THEY ABSOLUTELY DESERVE IT,” Bailey-Corsey wrote in the same July 15 post, according to court documents.

MSNBC Contributor Implies Violence Against ICE Agents is Justified: ‘Lawful Right of Self-Defense’

MSNBC contributor Joyce Vance is a former U.S. Attorney who was appointed by Obama. This week, she appeared on the network and implied that the violence we are seeing against ICE agents is justified.

Her argument is based on the fact that ICE agents are masked, which ignores the fact that these men and women are wearing masks to protect themselves and their families from the unhinged and radical left.

Does everyone remember how the liberal media constantly accused the Tea Party of being potentially violent, even though no violence ever materialized? Compare their rhetoric from back then to this attempt to justify the violence of the left.

Partial transcript via NewsBusters:

ALI VELSHI: Joyce, let me ask you one thing….You’re a prosecutor, I want to ask you, there are legitimate reasons why some enforcement agencies, some police agencies, go undercover or, you know, do things in shadows to achieve certain things. I would assume that’s specific and, you, know, it needs to be, needs to comport with some laws.

JOYCE VANCE: Exactly. There are very serious legal restrictions around the use of, for instance, FBI agents as undercover operatives. Very strict rules regarding how it’s done, what they can do, what they can’t do. But you know what I’ve never seen a federal agent working a case due is pull a mask up so nobody knows who they are and go out and terrorize a civilian population.

And I think it’s important for us at this point to be very plain-speaking when we say that this is not normal, it’s not acceptable, and it’s a danger sign. You know, we are well past the point where we can just identify danger signs and say, oh, there might be problems down the road. The problems are here, they’re in the right now.

And as we see people being pulled off the streets — you know, the danger to law enforcement, quite frankly, is that when you’re masked like that and people don’t know who you are, someone might exercise their lawful right of self-defense to protect themselves, thinking they’re being kidnapped. So the notion that this is for law enforcement’s protection is utterly ludicrous. And we need to do away with that.

62-Year-Old Woman Charged for Driving Through Anti-ICE Protesters Who Were Surrounding and Pounding on Her Car in New Jersey

A 62-year-old woman has been charged after driving through a crowd of anti-ICE protesters who surrounded and began pounding on her car in New Jersey.

Linda Roglen, 62, of North Bergen, was driving past the Noches De Colombia on Fairview Avenue in the borough of Fairview when she encountered a group protesting ICE raids on Saturday.

One of the protesters confronted her car, and she sped up, allegedly running over his foot.

The man falls to the ground, Roglen stops, and the protesters swarm her vehicle and begin banging on the windows.

At this point, the car is surrounded, and Roglen slowly drives through. At least one protester can be seen throwing something at her vehicle as she leaves the scene.

The incident was captured on video from multiple angles and shared on social media, where leftists expressed outrage over her actions.

MEDIA MALPRACTICE: CNN and MSNBC Didn’t Cover the Recent Attempted Murder of ICE Agents in Texas

Media bias is expressed in a number of ways, often by putting political spin on a particular issue. Sometimes however, it happens when news organizations just don’t report on an issue at all.

This is exactly what happened with CNN and MSNBC when it comes to the recent attempted murder of ICE agents in Texas. CNN and MSNBC simply didn’t cover the story.

Can you imagine them skipping the attempted murder of a group favored by the left? It simply wouldn’t happen. In fact, in any such case, both networks would probably cover the story for days.

FOX News reports:

CNN, MSNBC skip on-air coverage of July 4 armed attack on ICE agents at Texas facility

Americans who rely on watching CNN or MSNBC for information would be in the dark about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents being ambushed at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, on Independence Day.

A heavily armed group lured two unarmed ICE agents into a parking lot on the evening of July 4 by firing a barrage of fireworks at their door and spray-painting graffiti on their personal cars with the words “traitor” and “Ice Pig,” which agents could see from the cameras inside.

At around the same time, a police officer responded to their 911 call for two men firing rounds from a nearby tree line, and an officer was hit in the neck, which forced the agents to take cover. Police also found seven suspects in black military fatigues wandering in a field 300 yards away, some of whom were covered in mud from trying to escape on foot. They also had weapons, vests and radios.

But CNN and MSNBC didn’t devote any airtime to the incident, Mediaite was first to report.

“Should that not strike you as unusual, imagine this scenario: 11 members of a right-wing militia group open fire on an FBI field office on a major holiday, and a responding police officer is shot in the neck,” Isaac Schorr wrote for Mediaite.

For CNN, MSNBC and other liberal news outlets, everything is motivated by whether a story is helpful or hurtful to their preferred side. It goes beyond politics though, especially where human lives are concerned. These liberal outlets put their politics above people’s lives. It’s sickening.

Canadian Mountie Assigned to G7 Under Criminal Investigation for Making “Violent” Threats Against President Trump and Leaking Info About Trump’s Movements at Alberta G7 Summit

A Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer who was assigned to the G7 summit in Alberta last month is under investigation for posting “violent” threats against President Donald Trump and of leaking information about Trump’s movements at the summit, according to a report by Le Journal de Montreal.

The G7 was held June 15-17 in Kananaskis, Alberta, located in the Canadian Rockies.

Trump abruptly left the summit a day early to deal with the Middle East (Iran-Israel war), according to a statement by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt:

President Trump had a great day at the G7, even signing a major trade deal with the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Much was accomplished, but because of what’s going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State.

— Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) June 16, 2025

The threat report comes two days before the one year anniversary of the assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania that wounded Trump and two supporters and killed supporter Corey Comperatore.

Trump survived a second attempt on his life last September 15 when an alert Secret Service agent fired on a would-be assassin holding a rifle near a hole at one of Trump’s golf courses in West Palm Beach, Florida as Trump was playing a few holes away.

The government of Iran has also plotted to assassinate Trump, with an alleged operative being charged by the U.S. last fall.

Thicko Rep. Jasmine Crockett Claims Democrats Are Never Violent — Then Insists Trump Assassins Were MAGA Supporters

Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett has insisted that all political violence is coming from Trump supporters and the MAGA movement.

During an appearance on the Hasan Minjah Podcast, Crockett said that Democrats are never violent.

“Violence doesn’t come from Democrats, just to be clear.”

“Obviously, anyone can be a criminal. But it is MAGA. It is the specifically MAGA faction.”

“I don’t think traditional Republicans are getting engaged in all of this,” she said.

Crockett went on to suggest that the two men who attempted to assassinate President Trump during the 2024 presidential campaign were his supporters.

“VioIence is all coming from MAGA, not the left. Even the 2 who tried kiIIing Trump are Trump supporters.”

School board chairman set to resign after ‘please shoot Republicans’ post surfaces

A school board chairman in Northern Kentucky has allegedly submitted his resignation amid revelations that he commented “please shoot Republicans” on social media years ago came to light.

The Erlanger-Elsmere Board of Education was slated to accept the resignation of chairman Jeffrey Miller at a meeting Thursday night, according to the board’s agenda posted online. The district includes eight schools and learning centers in Kenton County, including Lloyd Memorial High School, and has an enrollment of 2,399 students. It’s located about 11 miles south of Cincinnati.

The revelation comes after state Rep. Steve Doan, an Erlanger Republican, received complaints from constituents about Miller’s online comments.

The Enquirer reached out to the school district and Miller for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

Doan called for Miller’s resignation

Doan received the complaints this spring while he was working to reopen a track at the district to the public in the evenings. He emailed officials, attended a few school board meetings, and posted about his efforts online.

That’s when he was sent screenshots of some of Miller’s Facebook comments.

One comment was posted to Facebook on Aug. 28, 2018, the day after a mass shooting killed at least three people at a Madden 19 video game tournament in Jacksonville, Florida, USA TODAY reported at the time.

In response to another commenter, Miller said on Facebook he would be OK with the National Rifle Association if “these psychos were just once the victims of a mass shooting.”

He followed that statement with “WINK WINK: please shoot republicans.”

Doan shared the screenshot with The Enquirer. Miller also made a comment on Facebook at some point that said “f— the police” and added that police are interested in oppressing people instead of serving the public.

Doan said it became clear that Miller is “definitely a loose cannon” so he looked into him further and found that Miller was found guilty of driving under the influence in 2017, after he had been elected to the school board in 2016.

A police officer said in Kentucky court records that Miller was “highly intoxicated” and nearly struck the back of a patrol car. Miller’s license was suspended for 90 days and he was sentenced with a $250 fine and 14 days of conditional jail time.
