Wisconsin Teen Plotted To Kill Trump To Start ‘Political Revolution’

1

Disturbing…

A 17-year-old Wisconsin teen accused of killing his mother and stepfather had also plotted to assassinate Presidentย Donald Trumpย to start a “political revolution,” according to court documents.

Nikita Casap, 17, had images and messages on his phone that referenced a “self-described manifesto regarding assassinating the president, making bombs, and terrorist attacks,” FOX6 Milwaukee reported, citing a search warrant filed with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.

Images of a three-page document titled “Accelerate the Collapse” called for the assassination of Trump, according to the report. 

Trump was specifically referenced in an excerpt from the document, which said “getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president” is “guaranteed to bring in some chaos. โ€ฆ Point being this manifesto is specifically for the attack that targets Trump.”

Casap was charged earlier this month in theย shooting deathsย of his mother, Tatiana Casap, and his stepfather, Donald Mayer. The couple were found severely decomposed in their home on Feb 28 โ€“ more than two weeks after prosecutors allege Casap killed them.ย 

During an interview with one of Casapโ€™s classmates, authorities learned that Casap told the female classmate he had been in contact with aย man from Russia, who they claim knew about the teenโ€™s scheme to take passports, a car and the family dog and flee to Ukraine, according to the report.

A recent study by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) has revealed a concerning trend: a significant portion of left-leaning Americans believe that political violence, including assassination, is justifiable against figures such as President Donald Trump and the de facto head of the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk. The study surveyed over 1,200 U.S. adults and found that 38% of respondents felt that assassinating Trump would be at least “somewhat justified,” with this figure rising to 55% among those identifying as left-leaning. Similarly, 31% of overall participants, and 48% of left-leaning individuals, expressed some level of justification for assassinating Musk.

This data suggests a troubling normalization of violent political rhetoric within certain segments of the population. The NCRI report highlights that this shift has been particularly pronounced following the December 2024 assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, allegedly by Luigi Mangione. Mangione’s actions have been glamorized in various online communities, leading to a proliferation of memes and discussions that endorse political violence.

Attorney General Charges Three In Tesla Attacks

More to come…

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday announced three individuals are facing federal charges for allegedly attacking Tesla properties as protests and vandalism hitย Elon Muskโ€™sย electric vehicle company across the country.

Calling the charges a โ€œwarning,โ€ Bondi said the three individuals are accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at Tesla dealerships in three different states in recent weeks.

โ€œThe days of committing crimes without consequence have ended,โ€ Bondi said in a Thursday statement. โ€œLet this be a warning: if you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.โ€

The charges come amid a wave of violent demonstrations taking place across the nation in protest of Muskโ€™s efforts to slash the federal government and budget underย President Trumpโ€™sย direction.

Adam Matthew Lansky, 41, on Jan. 20, threw approximately eight Molotov cocktails at a Tesla dealership located in Salem, Oregon, federal prosecutors said. One vehicle was completely destroyed, and several others were damaged.

Lansky also threw a “large heavy object through the dealership window,” they said. At the time of the attack, he was armed with a suppressed AR-15 rifle.

Lucy Grace Nelson, also known as Justin Thomas Nelson, 42, was arrested in Loveland, Colorado on Jan. 29 after attempting to light Teslas on fire with Molotov cocktails, prosecutors said. 

A former high-level FBI special agent said he expects political violence in the United States to continue escalating amid the nationwide destruction of Tesla vehicles and dealerships aimed at intimidating Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk. 

Michael Tabman is the former special agent in charge of the FBI’s Minneapolis Field Office, and he said there is no doubt that recent violent attacks faced by Tesla owners and dealerships are clear cases of domestic terrorism. 

“I do fear that more violence is on its way,” Tabman told Fox News Digital. “Maybe not directly Teslas or DOGE, but just general political violence. I think it’s already here. But I think there’s more around the corner.”

Saudi Arabia Releases Jailed US Citizen Following Trump, Crown Prince Mohammed Meeting

Saudi Arabia has released a United States citizen who was jailed over social media posts critical of the royal family after President Trump’s meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.

Saad Almadi, 75, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1976, was arrested in 2021 during a family visit over his remarks online. Heย was sentenced to more than 19 yearsย on terrorism charges but was released in 2023 and hit with an โ€œexit ban,โ€ which prevented him from leaving the country.

The terrorism charges were later decreased to โ€œcyber crimes.โ€

โ€œThis day would not have been possible without Presidentย Donald Trumpย and the tireless efforts of his administration,โ€ the Almadi familyย said in aย statementย Wednesday. โ€œWe are deeply grateful to Dr.ย Sebastian Gorkaย and the team at the National Security Council, as well as everyone at the State Department.โ€

The statement came shortly after Trumpโ€™s Wednesday speech at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum. 

The Almadi family said the release โ€œwould not have been possibleโ€ without the work of the president and the โ€œtireless effortsโ€ of the administration, expressing gratitude to the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh for keeping Almadi โ€œsafe.โ€ 

One of Almadiโ€™s posts on social mediaย that landed him in troubleย called for a street in the nationโ€™s capital to be renamed afterย Jamal Khashoggi,ย a Washington Post columnist who was murdered in 2018 while at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.ย 

Crown Prince Mohammed has denied involvement in the killing of the journalist, who fled Saudi Arabia in 2017, but U.S. intelligence reports in 2021 stated the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia โ€œapprovedโ€ the operation to detain or kill the columnist.

The 9/11 Families United organization shared similar sentiments in regards to Trumpโ€™s interactions. 

โ€œThe crown prince knows nothing of the pain of the 9/11 families. He is actively working to impede our efforts to ensure extensive evidence of Saudi government support for al-Qaeda and the terrorist hijackers are brought to light, harboring a former agent that produced a casing video of the U.S. Capitol building, and trying to rewrite history with investments,โ€ 9/11 Families Unitedย  told The Hill in a statement.ย 

Trump said Tuesday that the crown prince โ€œknew nothingโ€ about Khashoggiโ€™s murder, triggering harshย criticismย from press groups.ย 

โ€œWe are so excited for the family that Mr. Almadi is finally on his way back to the United States!ย We know how long and hard the family fought to make this day possible,โ€ the Foley Foundation, which advocates for American hostages and wrongful detainees held overseas, said Wednesday in a statement to The Hill.ย 

Trump Secures Key Border Patrol Endorsement At Arizona Rally

Former President Donald Trump received a significant endorsement from the Border Patrol union during a campaign rally in Arizona, a crucial swing state. The endorsement could prove pivotal as immigration remains a top concern for voters.

The rally, held on Sunday, was marked by Trumpโ€™s promise to increase border security. He announced plans to hire 10,000 additional border agents, provide a 10% pay raise and introduce a $10,000 signing and retention bonus. โ€œThey deserve it,โ€ Trump said, highlighting what he described as unfair treatment of agents.

The Washington Times further reports on border security personnel throwing their support behind the only candidate they believe will secure the border:

Paul Perez, president of the union representing 16,000 Border Patrol agents, said the former president has been aย trueย ally.

โ€œAmerica, I have a message for you: If we allow โ€˜Border Czarโ€™ Harris to win this election, every city, every community in this great country is going to go to hell,โ€ Mr. Perez said, lamenting that millions of unvetted migrants who have entered the country illegally under the Biden-Harris administration.

โ€œOnly one man can fix that. That isย Donald J. Trump,โ€ he said.

โ€œHe has always stood with the men and women who protect this border, who put their lives on the line for the country,โ€ he said.

Illegal immigration has consistently ranked as a key issue, with a study in June revealing that half of the jobs created under President Bidenโ€™s economic policies went to undocumented workers rather than American citizens.

Trumpโ€™s endorsement by the Border Patrol union comes as Democrats face increasing pressure over their handling of the border crisis. Matt Corridoni, spokesperson for the Harris campaign, criticized the endorsement, pointing to what he called Trumpโ€™s broken promises. โ€œTrump told us Mexico would pay for his failed border wall. That was a lie,โ€ Corridoni stated, adding that Trump killed a bipartisan border bill that could have strengthened border security.

Corridoni also defended Vice President Kamala Harrisโ€™s record, stating, โ€œThereโ€™s only one candidate focused on tackling issues for the American people, has taken on transnational gangs, and is focused on keeping our communities safeโ€”Vice President Kamala Harris.โ€

Despite these efforts, Democrats have faced challenges in managing immigration. Harris, in her role as “border czar,” has been criticized for the influx of nearly 10 million undocumented migrants during her tenure. The situation worsened when Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas confirmed on Oct. 2 that DHS may not have sufficient funds to provide assistance through the end of the hurricane season, after spending $1 billion on immigration-related costs.

As Election Day rapidly approaches, immigration is likely to remain a central issue, with both parties vying for voters concerned about border security.

FBI agents arrested a Georgia man after making numerous death threats against Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard.

Aliakbar Mohammad Amin, of Lilburn, Ga., was charged on Friday with โ€œtransmitting interstate threats to injureโ€ Gabbard and her family, according to the DOJ press release.

โ€œThreatening to harm public officials is a criminal act that cannot be excused as political discourse,โ€ acting U.S. Attorney Richard Moultrie, Jr. said in a statement. โ€œOur Office, in coordination with our law enforcement partners, will vigorously prosecute individuals who commit these acts of violence.โ€

Prosecutors allege Amin sent text messages between March 29 and April 1 that contained threats against Gabbard and her husband, including, โ€œYou and your family are going to die soon,โ€ and โ€œI will personally do the job if necessary.โ€

โ€œThe home you two own . . . is a legitimate target and will be hit at a time and place of our choosing,โ€ Amin wrote in another text, according to the DOJ.

Other texts allegedly included, โ€œPrepare to die, you, Tulsi, and everyone you hold dear. America will burn,โ€ and โ€œDeath to America means death to America literally, Tulsi is living on borrowed time.โ€

Federal agents later found a firearm at Aminโ€™s house while executing a search warrant, the DOJ said.

โ€œThe FBI sees all threatening communications as a serious federal offense. We will employ every investigative tool and resource available to identify those responsible and ensure they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,โ€ Paul Brown, special agent in charge of the FBIโ€™s Atlanta Field Office, said in a statement.

โ€œLet this arrest serve as a clear warning: if you engage in this kind of criminal behavior, you will be caught and you will go to prison,โ€ Brown added.

Gabbard thanked the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service and local law enforcement on Friday after the FBI announced the arrest.

โ€œThank you @FBI, @USMarshalsHQ, and local law enforcement for your service and dedication in apprehending this radicalized, dangerous criminal who repeatedly threatened the lives of me, my family, and @realDonaldTrump. Thank you for your tireless work every day keeping the American people safe,โ€ she wrote in a post on X.

Threats against political officials have been on the rise, during the 2024 campaign cycle Donald Trump survived multiple assassination attempts.

Cuban Regime Finally Loses a Longtime Fugitive: Joanne โ€œAssataโ€ Shakur Dies in Havana

3

Havana, Cuba โ€” On September 25, 2025, Cubaโ€™s Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that Joanne Deborah Byron โ€” better known by her aliases Joanne Chesimard and Assata Shakur โ€” died in Havana at the age of 78 due to health complications and the rigors of old age.

This news brings to a close a decades-long saga in which a convicted murderer escaped justice, was shielded by a hostile foreign regime, and became a symbol for radical causes.


A Fugitiveโ€™s Origin: From Violent Crime to Escape to Cuba

In 1977, Chesimard was convicted on multiple serious charges including first-degree murder, armed robbery, and other felonies after a 1973 shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike that left State Trooper Werner Foerster dead.

She escaped prison in 1979, spent years underground, and resurfaced in 1984 under asylum in Cuba โ€” a regime that refused U.S. extradition requests.

For decades, the United States and New Jersey authorities pushed Cuba to hand her over. She carried the dubious distinction of being the first woman ever placed on the FBIโ€™s Most Wanted Terrorists list, with a $1 million reward for her capture.


A Death Without Accountability

Her passing in Havana presents a bitter irony: after decades of immunity facilitated by a foreign government, she dies free โ€” far from the prison cell where she was supposed to serve life in the U.S.

New Jersey officials immediately expressed outrage. They reiterated that justice was never fully served for Trooper Foersterโ€™s family.

Cubaโ€™s complicity in harboring Chesimard has long been roundly condemned by American leaders. Senator Marco Rubio recently denounced Havana for providing โ€œa safe haven for terrorists and criminals, including fugitives from the United States.โ€

What She Represented โ€” and What the U.S. Must Learn

For defenders of law and order, her story is a cautionary tale of diplomatic failure and ideological double standards.

  • Rule of Law Must Be Absolute: A convicted cop killer escaping and living with impunity is a stain on the integrity of the justice system.
  • Foreign Regimes Should Not Shield Criminals: Cubaโ€™s refusal to extradite Chesimard fashioned her into a political symbol, rather than merely a criminal. That sets a dangerous precedent.
  • Consistency in Foreign Policy Matters: If the U.S. does not forcefully demand accountability from regimes that shelter fugitives, it weakens its moral and strategic footing.

Now that she has died abroad, the question of bringing her remains home may arise. But more importantly, the memory of Trooper Foerster โ€” his sacrifice and service โ€” must remain central. And the mission remains: to hold foreign governments accountable when they interfere with American justice.

Iranian Hackers Threaten to Leak 100GB of Stolen Trump Team Emails

A stunning escalation…

An Iran-linked hacker group is claiming to be in possession of a trove of stolen emails from Presidentย Donald Trumpโ€™sย inner circle is threatening to publish the material in what U.S. officials describe as a politically motivated โ€œsmear campaign.โ€

The group, operating under the alias โ€œRobert,โ€ said it has over 100 gigabytes of emails from key Trump allies, including White House chief of staffย Susie Wiles, longtime confidantย Roger Stone, Trump attorneyย Lindsey Halligan, and even adult film actressย Stormy Daniels.

Reuters broke the story Tuesday after direct communication with the hackers, who hinted at potentially selling the material, though the group offered no specifics.

The threat comes just days after Trump abruptly reversed a tentative effort to ease sanctions on Iran, following Supreme Leader Ayatollahย Ali Khameneiโ€™sย downplayingย of U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. A top Iranian cleric hasย issued a fatwaย against Trump and Israeli Prime Ministerย Benjamin Netanyahu, calling the pair โ€œenemies of God.โ€ (RELATED: Iranian Grand Ayatollah Issues Fatwa Targeting Trump)

Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi, a leading Shiite cleric in Iran with authority to issue legal rulings under Islamic law, has issued a fatwa โ€” an Islamic legal decree โ€” escalating regional tensions and offering religious justification for violence against Western and Israeli leaders.

As Newsweek rightly notes, the development highlights the Islamic Republicโ€™s ongoing use of religious decrees as political tools โ€” a strategy Iran has long used to project power beyond its borders.

While a fatwa is not legally enforceable, it can influence judicial decisions in countries with Sharia-based legal systems.

Khosro K. Isfahani, senior research analyst at the National Union for Democracy in Iran wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that the fatwa issued by Shirazi against Trump was similar to the murder fatwa issued against the author Salman Rushdie for his novel The Satanic Verses which led to a number of assassination attempts.

โ€œThis so-called cyber โ€˜attackโ€™ is nothing more than digital propaganda,โ€ said Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) spokespersonย Marci McCarthy. She described the effort as a โ€œcalculated smear campaignโ€ designed to โ€œdamage President Trump and discredit honorable public servants.โ€

According to Mediaite, the hackers claim the breach was triggered by recent U.S. involvement in the 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran, a war Trump claimed credit for ending via a negotiated ceasefire. Despite claiming to have halted new attacks, the group says it resumed operations in response to that military intervention.

Federal prosecutors have already linked the hacker group to Iran.

AG Bondi Reveals The Grim Reason She’s Carrying Fake Fentanyl

Attorney General Pam Bondi will stop at nothing to eradicate fentanyl from the streets.

On Wednesday, Bondi revealed that she carries around a vial of fake fentanyl to show that just a tiny amount can be deadly.

While appearing on Fox & Friends from the White House lawn, Bondi discussed the importance of recent drug trafficking busts in several states that turned up massive amounts of fentanyl, cocaine, and guns.

To illustrate her point, she said she keeps a small bottle of โ€œfake fentanylโ€ to remind herself how just a tiny amount can prove deadly.

โ€œEach pill has the potential to kill a human being. A human life. An American life. Iโ€™ve been carrying around a little vial with fake fentanyl in it, the amount it takes to kill you, and it looks like a couple of grains of salt,โ€ Bondi told Fox & Friends co-host Lawrence Jones.

On Tuesday, Bondi announced that authorities made one of the biggest fentanyl busts in U.S. history with the seizure 409 kilos of fentanyl pills and 11.5 kilos of fentanyl powder.

Bondi said that around 35 kilos of methamphetamine, 35 kilos of meth, 7.5 kilos of cocaine and 4.5 kilos of heroin were also seized along with $5 million in cash and 49 rifles and pistols.

Sixteen people were arrested in the operation. Six of the individuals are in the U.S. illegally, Bondi said. 

Bondi also teased a joint announcement with FBI Director Kash Patel of a major child exploitation ring bust later in the morning, while urging parents to take notice of their childrenโ€™s online habits.

โ€œYour kids have no right to privacy on the internet,โ€ she said, adding, โ€œChildren are getting recruited on the internet from being on games, social media or any social media platform. Parents, youโ€™ve got to monitor what your kids are doing because they think they are talking to other children and they are not. They are talking to monsters often.โ€

โ€œYouโ€™ve gotta be all in your childrenโ€™s business,โ€ Jones added.

Attorney General Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel announced Wednesday that 205 alleged child sex predators who preyed on children online have been arrested in the last week. 

The arrests are part of a new joint operation by the Justice Department and FBI called “Operation Restore Justice” which saw 115 children across the country rescued in the process, Bondi and Patel said.

Bondi called the operation “historic and “unprecedented.”

“These depraved human beings, if convicted, will face the maximum penalty in prison some life,” Bondi said at a press briefing.

“We will find you. We will arrest you, and we will charge you. If you are online targeting a child, you will not escape us. The FBI and the Department of Justice will come after you. And we will prosecute you.”

Trump Tells Fox & Friends Suspect in Charlie Kirk Shooting is In Custody

President Donald Trump revealed that a suspect in the political assassination of Charlie Kirk is in custody.

โ€œI think with a high degree of certainty, we have him in custody, in custody,โ€ Trump announced on Fox & Friends, adding, โ€œEveryone did a great job, worked with local police, governor, everybody did a great job. Getting somebody โ€”  you start off with absolutely nothing โ€” and we started off with a clip that made him look like an ant, almost useless, just saw someone up there. So much work has been done, it is amazing when you start with that, and all of a sudden, you get lucky or talent or whatever it is. I think weโ€™re in great shape. Heโ€™s in custody.โ€

The FBI was under bipartisan criticism for its initial handling of the search for the alleged assassin, drawing criticism even from Fox & Friendsโ€™ co-host Brian Kilmeade earlier in the show.

Lawrence Jones followed up, noting, โ€œYour suspicion was he was radical left, and now you have more information. What can you share about his ideology?โ€

Trump responded:

โ€œI think that I donโ€™t want to go too far, like to tell you stories how it happened, essentially somebody very close to him turned him in and that happens when you have good shots, somebody will say whether a parent or whatever, I would rather not say right now,โ€ Trump deferred. โ€œThey will announce it later today, probably talk about that.โ€

โ€œSomebody close to him said, โ€˜Whoa, it is interestingโ€™ โ€” we had very good pictures, but not great or perfect. When you look at it, what happened, somebody and this happens a lot, it happened with the crazy Boston bomber, and with others. Somebody that is close recognizes a little tilt of the head and somebody close to him said, thatโ€™s him. And essentially went to the father, went to U.S. Marshal who is fantastic and the person was involved with law enforcement but was a person of faith, a minister. And brought him to a U.S. Marshal, who is fantastic and the father convinced the son, this is it.โ€

โ€œAnd Iโ€™m always subject to be corrected, just giving you based on what Iโ€™m hearing, they will give you,โ€ Trump explained. โ€œI just heard about it five minutes before I walked in. As Iโ€™m walking in, they said looking good, they have the person they wanted.โ€

Watch:

โ€œSo you have breaking news,โ€ Trump boasted to his Fox & Friends hosts. โ€œDonโ€™t you, you always have breaking news, Ainsley? Sean will be disappointed weโ€™re not doing it on his show,โ€ he added, in reference to Ainsley Earhardtโ€™s fiance, Sean Hannity.

Robinson was taken into custody on Thursday night in southern Utah after having allegedly confessed to his father, Matt Robinson. 

Robinson was a student at Utah State University on a scholarship, insiders confirmed to Daily Mail.ย

Rosie O’Donnell Asks For Prayers As Daughter Chelsea Faces ‘Scary Future’ In Prison

TV personality Rosie Oโ€™Donnell is appealing for prayers as her daughter Chelsea faces what she calls a โ€œscary future.โ€

Oโ€™Donnell posted on Instagram: โ€œMy child Chelsea Belle โ€“ before addiction took over her life โ€“ I loved her then, I love her now as she faces a scary future โ€“ prayers welcomed. #addiction awareness #love #family.โ€

According to court documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, Chelsea had her probation revoked on October 22 and was sentenced to serve time in prison.

In a written statement, Oโ€™Donnell said, โ€œI have compassion for those struggling with addiction โ€” Chelsea was born into addiction and it has been a painful journey for her and her four young children. We continue to love and support her through these horrible times. Prayers welcomed.โ€

Last year, authorities charged Chelsea with two counts of felony possession of methamphetamine and felony possession of narcotic drugs, along with two counts of possession/illegally obtaining prescription drugs and resisting or obstructing an officer. Her arrest followed a traffic stop in Niagara, Wisconsin, where officers pulled over a vehicle for loud exhaust โ€” they recovered a clear smoking device on Chelseaโ€™s person that tested positive for methamphetamine, and a prescription pill bottle containing a handful of pills and a crystal-like substance was found in her possession. At the time, Chelsea was out on bond for separate charges including child neglect and drug possession.

Oโ€™Donnellโ€™s Instagram post on December 3 responding to Chelseaโ€™s earlier arrest read: โ€œSo yes this is true โ€“ after being bailed out by her birth mother โ€“ Chelsea was arrested again โ€“ and is facing many charges related to her drug addiction โ€“ we all hope she is able to get the help she needs to turn her life around.โ€


Bring in the Trump context

Itโ€™s worth noting that Rosie Oโ€™Donnell has for years been a vocal critic of Donald Trump, and the public feud between them has become almost legendary. Back in December 2006, while hosting the daytime talk show The View, Oโ€™Donnell called Trump out over his handling of the Miss USA controversy and mocked him as no moral authority for young people โ€” saying, โ€œThis is not a self-made manโ€ฆ left the first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affairโ€ฆโ€ People.com+2The List+2

Trump responded with scorn, calling Oโ€™Donnell โ€œa woman out of controlโ€ and a โ€œloser,โ€ threatening legal action though he never followed through. People.com+1 Over the years he repeatedly used her name as a punchline โ€” during the 2016 Republican primary debate when asked about his language toward women he quipped, โ€œOnly Rosie Oโ€™Donnell.โ€ The New Daily+1

In recent years their feud escalated further: After Oโ€™Donnell announced she had moved to Ireland following Trumpโ€™s second inauguration (January 2025), Trump publicly floated the idea of revoking her U.S. citizenship, calling her โ€œa Threat to Humanityโ€ and saying โ€œshe should remain in the wonderful country of Ireland, if they want her.โ€
