NYC Wikipedia conference halted when ‘non-offending pedophile’ storms stage, points gun at own head

A Wikipedia conference in Manhattan descended into chaos Friday morning when an unhinged Ohio man jumped on stage and pointed a gun at his own head.

Connor Weston, 27, allegedly clutched the loaded revolver as he declared, “I’m a non-contact pedophile. I want to kill myself” — prompting WikiConference staff to quickly tackle and disarm him before cops took him into custody, sources said.

“It was just adrenaline,” said one of the staffers who stopped the gunman.  “Since you’re on the trust and safety team you’re expected to do this . . . we’re not used to loaded weapons in the same room . . . we’re used to more prank behavior.” 

Weston — who wore a multicolored banner draped over his shoulders and a sign around his neck with the words “ANTI-CONTACT NON-OFFENDING PEDOPHILE” — was detained at the conference, which was hosted at Union Square’s Civic Hall on East 14th Street near Irving Place, sources said. 

“I think we handled it pretty well considering this was not an expected thing,” the worker who helped stop the incident added. “We’re expected to do that for every event but in a place like NYC you’re going to have more people and more chance of it.”

Cheryl Hines says she is ‘very worried’ about husband RFK Jr’s safety amid political tension

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s wife Cheryl Hines admitted she is fearful for her husband’s safety following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.  

Hines opened up to Fox News about marrying into the Kennedy family and touched on the importance of acknowledging differing political viewpoints, revealing she worries about her husband’s safety. Her memoir “Unscripted,” which in part reveals her life with Kennedy, will be released Nov. 11.

“I am very worried,” Hines told “Jesse Watters Primetime.” “It can’t be, ‘Because you don’t think like me, I hate you.’ That’s what it feels like sometimes.”  

She reflected on how her husband, a previous Democrat turned independent, and President Donald Trump had a number of similar goals and decided to collaborate, placing Kennedy “in the middle of a Republican administration.” 

“If someone didn’t vote the same way you voted, instead of saying, ‘Oh, you’re stupid, you don’t know what you’re doing!’ — ‘Why did you vote for this person?’ or ‘Why do you believe this, about this issue?’ Then, really let it in what their response is, because maybe you’ll start to understand each other more.”  

Hines explained that the “Make America Healthy Again” movement is about a lifestyle, rather than making sure every decision one makes in their daily habits is perfect. 

While Hines said she is as MAHA as her husband, she will indulge in certain foods he will not.   

“Overall, going through the days, you’re trying to make the healthiest choices and you’re trying to do what’s best for your body to keep you healthy,” she said. “That’s basically it.”

Jay Jones knew the children he wished dead: VA Delegate Terry Kilgore

After Democrat nominee for Virginia attorney general Jay Jones was revealed to have had a desire for the killing of GOP politician Todd Gilbert as well as his children so that Gilbert would move on gun policy, a Republican in the state assembly has said that Jones knew the children at the time he made the comments.

Terry Kilgore, a Virginia State Delegate and leader of the GOP in the state legislature revealed on the Tucker Carlson Show that Gilbert’s children were around the state assembly all the time and Jones would have known them. Carlson said to Kilgore, “This text exchange happened several years ago, and when it happened, the Republican to whom he was texting—I don’t have any idea what that was about, but it happened—sent this exchange to the Speaker who was being threatened by Jay Jones, whose children were being threatened by Jay Jones? Did he tell anybody about it? Did you hear about it then?”

Kilgore responded, “I didn’t hear about it. To be perfectly honest. I didn’t know anything about it until the Friday that all this was released. And no, I think Todd was just handling it. You know, in a way, Todd normally handles things.”

“Todd’s a great guy, good friend. You know, his two little kids are just precious little kids, two little boys, you know, in school now, but at that time, they were around the General Assembly all the time. Everybody knew the Gilbert kids. And Jay Jones would have known the Gilbert kids. That’s what’s terrible about this whole situation. It wasn’t like, ‘hey, I want to kill a kid who’s from another country.’ You would know this kid, these kids, because you’re around the General Assembly.”

Carlson called the newly revealed information, “Horrifying.”

Stephen Miller flees Virginia mansion after menacing messages left for him

The White House‘s deputy chief of staff and so-called ‘immigration architect’ Stephen Miller is putting his Arlington home up for sale after it was caught in the crosshairs of activists.

The custom-built home in a quiet neighborhood in Arlington that ’embraces a refined Southern California aesthetic’ is priced at $3.75 million – sold in 2023 for $2.875 million, records say.

Miller has emerged as one of the most controversial figures in US immigration policy, chiefly for the hardline proposals he’s been pushing. 

Among his major policy goals are mass arrests and deportations—for example, setting a new ICE target of around 3,000 arrests per day in recent months.

He’s also been a strong advocate for expanding travel bans and raising the vetting standards for who can enter the US, often targeting Muslim-majority countries.

On at least two occasions this year—including in mid‑September—activists have written chalk messages of protest in front of his Arlington, Virginia home and in a nearby park. 

Messages included phrases like ‘Stephen Miller is destroying democracy,’ ‘stop the kidnapping,’ ‘no white nationalism,’ ‘we [love] immigrants,’and ‘trans rights are human rights,’ according to ARLnow.com

A few days after Charlie Kirk was assassinated in Utah, chalk messages began appearing, prompting Katie Miller — a former communications official who is also Stephen Miller’s wife— to share a defiant message on social media.

‘To the ‘Tolerant Left’ who spent their day trying to intimidate us in the house where we have three young children: We will not back down. We will not cower in fear. We will double down. Always, For Charlie,’ she posted on X in mid-September, alongside the post was a video showing several of the messages being washed away with a garden hose.

While speaking on The Sean Hannity Show, Stephen Miller and Hannity claimed the messages constituted ‘terroristic threats.’

Virginia Democrat Voters Side With Assassination Fetishist Jay Jones: ‘Gotta Fight Hardball’

RLINGTON, Va. — Come hell or high water, Democrats in Virginia are standing by their attorney general candidate Jay Jones, who fantasized about annihilating the family of his political opponents in order to get them to “move on policy.”

According to Democrat voters in one of the commonwealth’s bluest districts, “the alternative,” Attorney General Jason Miyares, R-Va. — who is most well known for conducting basic law enforcement duties, working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to deport illegals, and defending school children from “transgender” ideology — is much more dangerous.

In the final stretch of the Virginia election, with early voting season in full swing, The Federalist interviewed multiple Democrat voters outside Arlington County’s primary early voting location at Courthouse Plaza. None would give their names, but all justified voting for Jones despite his desire to commit gruesome acts of violence over political disagreements.

Each Democrat was very much aware of how abhorrent the comments were, but was committed to sticking by him anyway. The underlying drive for their support seems to be their idea that their cause is existential and the ends justify all behavior, including talking in a very serious way about the murder of political opponents and their families.

“You gotta fight hardball the same way they do,” one middle-aged white male Democrat who had just cast his ballot for Jones told The Federalist. He explained that the text messages did not change his vote, but it “made me hesitant.” He added that if it were a primary, he would not vote for him.

DOJ Brings Terrorism Charges Against ‘Militant’ Antifa Cell That Attacked ICE Facility

A federal grand jury indicted two alleged Antifa members on counts of “providing material support to terrorists,” the “attempted murder of officers and employees of the United States,” and “discharging firearms during, in relation to, and in furtherance of a crime of violence,” according to the indictment.

These are reportedly the first terrorism charges associated with Antifa.

The charges originate from a July 4 attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, allegedly by Cameron Arnold, Zachary Evetts, indicted, and several co-conspirators, as previously reported by The Federalist. The Department of Homeland Security was using the facility to house illegal migrants ahead of their deportation.

According to the indictment, attackers “began by shooting fireworks toward the facility and vandalizing vehicles and a guard shed.” DHS personnel contacted local law enforcement for support.

The indictment says Arnold yelled “get to the rifles,” and fired on the officers. He hit an Alvarado police officer, who returned fire, the document says. The attackers left after Arnold’s rifle jammed. Police arrested “most of the Antifa cell shortly after the attack,” and arrested Arnold the next day, according to the indictment.

The indictment describes Antifa as a “militant enterprise made up of networks of individuals and small groups, primarily ascribing to a revolutionary anarchist or autonomous Marxist ideology, which explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and the system of law.”

The document acknowledged a pattern “beginning in 2025” of “Antifa adherents” targeting ICE facilities and agents, in protest of “policy on the removal of illegal aliens.” It cites one Antifa member in an encrypted chat saying, “I’m done with peaceful protests” and “Blue lives don’t matter.”

President Trump officially designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization last month.

VP J.D. Vance Torches Democrats for Hypocrisy — Dems Ignore Democrat AG Candidate Fantasizing About Killing Republicans While Young GOPers Are Publicly Crucified Over LEAKED Private Group Chat ‘Jokes’

Vice President J.D. Vance is lashing out, and with good reason.

While Democrats remain strangely silent about the resurfaced texts from Virginia Democratic Attorney General candidate Jay Jones, in which he fantasized about murdering Republican lawmakers and their children, the party is leading the charge to annihilate young Republicans for off-color “jokes” in private group chats.

Last week, the National Review and other outlets published a set of private texts from 2022 in which then–Virginia delegate Jay Jones allegedly wrote to Republican Delegate Carrie Coyner:

“Gilbert gets two bullets to the head.”
“Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot … Gilbert receives both bullets every time.”

Additional messages include Jones doubling down after calling Coyner, claiming that politicians “must feel pain themselves,” like the agony that parents feel when they watch their children get killed.

Jones also said he wished Gilbert’s wife could watch her own child die in her arms so that Gilbert might move to the left politically. Infuriated by his wretched remark, Coyner hung up the phone.

Local Democrat Party To Host ‘Solidarity’ Fundraiser With Jay Jones After Assassination Fantasies Scandal

A local Democrat Party in Virginia is slated to host a fundraiser featuring attorney general candidate Jay Jones after reported text messages and phone calls showed the Democrat fantasizing about assassinating a Republican lawmaker and wishing death on his children.

According to the event calendar on its website, the Stafford Democratic Committee (SDC) is scheduled to hold a “Defending Democracy” fundraiser in neighboring Fredericksburg, Virginia, on Friday, Oct. 17. The gathering — in which “[a]ttendees will be treated to a buffet dinner” — is expected to include three featured guests: U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., Rep. Eugene Vindman, D-Va., and Jones.

The event post includes an RSVP link that takes users to a donations page hosted by ActBlue, a Democrat-aligned fundraising platform currently under investigation by Congress and the Trump administration over allegations related to illegal “straw” donations and foreign contributions in U.S. elections.

“Our democracy is under attack and the more that Trump chips away at our rights and freedoms at the national level, the more emboldened others will become at the state and local levels. The Stafford Democratic Committee supports candidates and causes that will prevent those threats from becoming a reality here in Stafford,” reads an excerpt on the SDC’s ActBlue donations page for the event.

The SDC also posted a flyer for the scheduled event on its Facebook page earlier this month, which includes a QR code that takes users to the aforementioned donations page. The document also boasts a statement that reads, “The Stafford Democrats invite you out for a night of music, movement, and solidarity.”

The event flyer was posted to the SDC’s Facebook page hours before National Review reported a series of 2022 text messages sent by Jones to a GOP state lawmaker, in which he fantasized about killing then-state House Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican. As The Federalist’s Breccan Thies summarized, “Jones … presented a hypothetical … where he had only two bullets and three options to kill people: violent Cambodian dictator Pol Pot, responsible for millions of deaths; Adolf Hitler, another violent dictator responsible for millions of deaths; or Gilbert, a Republican who served in the state House for nearly 20 years.”

“Gilbert gets two bullets to the head,” Jones wrote in the text messages. “Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time.”

‘ThisB***hNeedsToDie’: Another Lib Caught Wishing Death Upon a Conservative in NJ School Board Race

Enough. I’m tired of being told to turn down the rhetoric when we did nothing wrong. Second, the very people making those claims are wishing death upon us behind our backs. It’s nothing new, but just a reminder for everyone to hit the mute button when some self-righteous liberal says that in your presence. 

Your people are shooting ICE facilities and conservative activists. Liberals are children who need a belt to the face, especially this liberal in a local New Jersey school board race who’s been busted sending graphic texts about his conservative opponent. And yes, he’s wished death upon her. He’s since dropped out of the race (via NY Post): 

A New Jersey school board candidate was caught red-handed sending vicious, sexual messages about a conservative female board member in a group chat labeled “ThisB***hNeedsToDie.” 

Photos of Scott Semaya’s vile texts about Danielle Bellomo at a July school board meeting leaked this week on social media — and the widening scandal is now being investigated by local cops and roiling the affluent suburb of Marlboro. 

“Bellomo must be cold — her nips could cut glass right n” read one text, allegedly captured on camera while Semaya’s fingers typed an “o.” 

Outrage was immediate, and Semaya this week dropped out of the race for the Marlboro Board of Education, followed by his running mate Melissa Goldberg. 

[…] 

Semaya, 38, an accountant who has voiced progressive liberal views, was one of five candidates running for three open seats on the Marlboro Board of Education. He cited only “family circumstances” in announcing his exit from the race. He did not return multiple messages seeking comment.

Antifa Is Threatening Families Of Law Enforcement: Homeland Security

Family members of law enforcement officers are facing threats from individuals affiliated with the far-left extremist group Antifa, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in an Oct. 10 X post.

“Antifa terrorists are threatening the families of our law enforcement. We will hunt these sickos down and put them behind bars,” the post said. “In Texas, the spouse of an ICE officer received a voicemail filled with violent threats.”

The agency uploaded an audio clip of the threat received by the spouse, in which a woman can be heard using expletives against the wife of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer, comparing them to Nazis.

“Did you hear what happened to the Nazis after World War II? Because that’s what’s going to happen to your family,” the caller said in the expletive-filled message.

In an Oct. 10 X post, the White House said Antifa is a radical terror group explicitly calling for the overthrow of the American government.

“Under the Trump Administration, Antifa’s days are over,” it said.

The post included a video of several officials and personalities detailing threats posed by the group.

For instance, conservative influencer Cam Higby reported he was “brutally attacked and almost killed” by Antifa in Seattle and that all of his colleagues have faced violence.

In the video, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Antifa attacked police stations, attacked court houses, and doxxed law enforcement officers. “They are a terrorist group and we are coming after them,” she said.

Antifa is a far-left extremist group originating in the Soviet Union and is known for committing politically motivated violence against their opponents, whom the group typically labels as fascists.

President Donald Trump designated Antifa a domestic terrorist organization in a Sept. 22 executive order, calling the group a “militarist, anarchist enterprise” that uses campaigns of violence and terrorism to accomplish its goal of overthrowing the U.S. government and the system of law.

“Antifa recruits, trains, and radicalizes young Americans to engage in this violence and suppression of political activity,” said the order.
