Newly unsealed images, taken by law enforcement, show more of what Luigi Mangione, the defendant accused of gunning down the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson, carried in his backpack when he was taken into custody exactly one year ago, on December 9, 2024 at an Altoona, Pennsylvania McDonald’s.
“1. Check Pittsburgh – red eyes… ideally to Columbus or Cincin (get off early)… keep momentum, FBI slower overnight,” a handwritten note reads that was found inside Mr. Mangione’s black backpack.
WASHINGTON — The Virginia man charged with planting pipe bombs at the headquarters of the Democratic and Republican National Committees on the eve of the Capitol riot confessed to the crime on Thursday afternoon, sources tell The Post.
Brian Cole Jr., 30, will make an initial appearance in DC federal court Friday afternoon to be formally arraigned on charges of transporting explosives across state lines with intent to kill, injure and cause damage and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials.
Alleged Pipe Bomber’s Family Sued Trump DHS Over Illegal Immigration, Asked Biden DOJ To Address Racism
Brian Cole, Jr. worked for a bail bonds company run by his father that worked to free illegal immigrants from ICE facilities and sued the Trump administration’s Department of Homeland Security.
Weeks before 30-year-old Cole Jr. allegedly planted pipe bombs at the headquarters of the Democrat and Republican parties on January 5, 2021, a court ruled against the company in its lawsuit attacking the Trump administration on immigration issues, The Daily Wire has learned. An FBI affidavit in the case notes that the suspect works for a bail bond company and lives with his mother.

Left-wing extremists are behind nearly all recent attacks on infrastructure and businesses in Bavaria, newly released state data show. Figures provided to lawmakers link far-left actors to 243 of 263 infrastructure attacks and 447 of 465 offences against the economy between 2019 and 2024.
Annual figures show a sharp increase in attacks: 34 cases in 2019 surged to 190 incidents in 2023, with 125 directly linked to left-wing extremism. Arson and explosives offenses also surged, with 27 incidents in 2023, including 16 targeting infrastructure. Property damage remains the most common offense, with 242 left-wing-motivated cases targeting infrastructure and commercial sectors alike.
Accused DC pipe-bomber Brian Cole Jr.’s face was revealed for the first time since he was busted for allegedly planting explosive devices outside the Republican and Democratic National Committees ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot.
Cole’s mother shared the smiling picture of him in a blue dress shirt and tie on Instagram for National Son’s Day in September 2024 — more than three years after the alleged attempted bombing.

The city’s mayor headlined a conference where activists celebrated armed resistance in Gaza, the Philippines, and the United States.
Last month, activists packed the Chicago Teachers Union Center for the annual conference of the National Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression (NAARPR). Attendees gathered to discuss fighting ICE and confronting the Trump administration.
Despite NAARPR’s relative obscurity—it was founded in 1973 to agitate for the release of Angela Davis and has since become a catch-all activist organization—the group’s conference featured several high-profile speakers, including Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson, who claimed to have inherited a “white supremacist system.” The event was hosted by the Chicago Teachers Union, one of Johnson’s most aggressive backers.
As a result of his response to the murder of a leading conservative activist – “Charlie Kirk got shot loool” – George Abaraonye will no longer get to serve as the president of the Oxford Union debating society. I’m sure we all agree that this represents a profound loss to the field of philosophical inquiry. Especially now we’ve been told what Mr Abaraonye had been planning to do during his term of office. According to reports, the Oxford PPE undergraduate had intended to hold a debate about the hanging of British flags in public – under the title, “This house believes that flying the flag betrays Great British values.”
As the accused killer of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO heads to court this week, his support has proven surprisingly enduring
When accused UnitedHealthcare shooter Luigi Mangione arrives at a Manhattan courthouse for hearings this week, a digital billboard featuring amputee Michael Kissling will be mounted on a truck driving around outside.
Kissling, 32 years old, blames UnitedHealthcare for denying treatments he says could have saved his leg. He doesn’t condone violence, but says the killing of his insurance company’s chief executive, Brian Thompson, has helped draw attention to challenges that he and others have faced.
Of Mangione he says, “If he’s Malcolm X, then I’m trying to emulate Martin Luther King.”
The German city of Giessen saw huge disruption on Saturday as thousands of far-left protesters tried to block the AfD from launching its new youth wing—forcing the meeting to be delayed and triggering a major police operation across the city.
Extreme left-wing groups began arriving early in the morning, with police warning of coordinated attempts to obstruct access to the venue. One group, “Resist,” openly boasted that it had blocked several routes and claimed to have gathered 15,000 supporters. In total, 23 separate rallies had been registered, and authorities expected around 50,000 protesters to descend on the city.
Tweet Translation: “If this is anti-fascism, I prefer those who are defamed and attacked by this left-radical mob…”

The ex-boyfriend of the National Guardsman who was shot dead in Washington DC said she wanted to make a difference despite being spat on by the public.
Sarah Beckstrom, 20, succumbed to her injures on Thursday after her and fellow guardsman Andrew Wolfe, 24, were ambushed while on duty near the White House on Wednesday. Wolfe remains hospitalized in critical condition.
Her former boyfriend, Adam Carr, whom she dated for six years, said Beckstrom had been treated poorly while on duty.
Leftists are so sick that when two National Guardsmen are shot by an Afghan welcomed into the U.S. by Biden, they blame President Trump for having deployed the Guard to D.C. for badly needed crime abatement. Said deployment worked marvelously. Murders, robberies, carjackings, etc. dropped massively. But our left is doing everything in its well financed power to see Trump run out of office by any means necessary.
Leftists are not bothered by the escalating crime. Can we say “color revolution”?
A pair of brothers, one of whom is an assistant principal at a Virginia high school, are accused of plotting to murder Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials reveal.
On November 19, law enforcement officers arrested John Wilson Bennett and Mark Booth Bennett, both American citizens, and charged the brothers with conspiracy to commit malicious wounding.
The University of Minnesota used a federal grant from the National Institutes of Health to research and address what it called a “Whiteness pandemic.”
The project, which launched in 2021, aimed to provide “Whiteness pandemic resources for parents, educators, and other caregivers.” The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of Minnesota $279,271 toward the effort, which had a deadline of June 2023, according to the NIMH website.

Some complain that “Orwellian” has become the most overused phrase in current political discourse, but I beg to disagree. Although George Orwell succumbed to tuberculosis — and perhaps political despair — at the age of 46, some 75 years ago, his characterizations of our political condition have never been more apposite — and more chilling.
The FBI had multiple “missed opportunities” to stop Thomas Crooks before he tried to assassinate President Trump, a former assistant director at the Bureau has told The Post.
Last week, The Post reported on multiple extremist social media posts believed to be tied to Crooks, including numerous threats of political violence and a dramatic shift against Trump, after previously expressing his admiration for the Republican.
WASHINGTON — America’s largest teachers’ union accused Republicans of promoting “racist and transphobic troupes” in teaching materials for an upcoming training program, according to documents obtained by a conservative activist group.
The National Education Association is hosting a training from Dec. 2-4 at an undisclosed location called “Advancing LGBTQ+ Justice and Transgender Advocacy” aimed at dismantling “strategic racism and transphobia,” the group Defending Education uncovered.
