Prosecutors to seek death penalty for Mangione as he heads to court

US federal prosecutors have filed a formal notice seeking the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, the man accused of shooting dead a healthcare boss in New York.

Prosecutors argue in the filing that the 26-year-old killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson “to amplify an ideological message” and spark resistance to the health insurance industry.

The move was made just hours ahead of his plea hearing on four federal charges later on Friday.

Why Progressives Increasingly Support Violence

A new survey finds more than half of left-wing respondents believe assassinating Donald Trump could be justified.

Political violence in America is not just a relic of the past. From the attempted assassinations of Donald Trump to the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, to the burning of Teslas in protest of Elon Musk, political violence is a present-day reality. More than 9,000 threats have been made against members of Congress this year—a “huge increase,” according to officials.

Are these events aberrations or do they reflect a national problem? Are they connected? And does the public support them?

Bondi instructs prosecutors to seek death penalty for Luigi Mangione

Attorney General Pam Bondi Tuesday instructed prosecutors to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, who stands accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson late last year.

Democrats Let the Hate Flow Through Them

Emotions are running so high among Democrats these days that I have created a bookmark folder labeled “Democrat Hate.”

I know that this shocks you because it is common knowledge that Democrats are dedicated to peace, love, and compassion. The voting base is filled with people almost indistinguishable from Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and Martin Luther King, but one or two have gone off the rails a bit, it seems.

Things Are Getting Ugly. Be Ready

In 2018, I wrote a piece here at Bearing Arms about the dangers of the mob going after ideological opponents. At the time, left-leaning mobs were hounding any Republican they could find out and about, even if they were just trying to eat a meal. I was actually looking for something else I was sure I wrote here and stumbled on it, but it sort of felt important to look at it a bit in light of what we’re currently seeing all around us.

Tesla’s Cybertruck has become the world’s most hated car – Maga loves it

New Orleans’ Mardi Gras festival celebrates weirdness, but among the costumes, masks and bacchanalian partying, one newcomer at this year’s festivities was not welcome.

During one parade, five Tesla Cybertrucks transporting the event’s marshals were incessantly booed, surrounded and pelted with beer cans, rubbish and a barrage of Mardi Gras necklace beads.

Despite their tough reputation, two of the vehicles’ windows were cracked.

Does the Left Have a Modified al Qaeda Strategy to Defeat The West?

No, I don’t expect Leftists to begin trying to blow up airplanes or skyscrapers–well, maybe smaller buildings and businesses–but I have been thinking about the strategy behind the leftist low-level terrorism campaign against conservatives, and there may be a similarity between al Qaeda’s strategy to defeat the West and Leftists’.

Multiple Conservative Influencers Swatted in the Past Few Days

Five conservative influencers have been swatted in recent days, as Democrats ramp up their invectives against President Donald Trump and DOGE chief Elon Musk amid their work to downsize the government and eliminate waste, fraud and abuse.

Swatting is a form of domestic terrorism where someone makes a false report to emergency services, often targeting a political opponent, leading to a police Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team or other law enforcement response at the victim’s location. The malicious tactic can and has led to fatalities.

Democrats Are Just Not Normal

Take that, little cop cancer kid! The Democrats sure showed him! No applause for you. How dare you be celebrated by the country when the president pointed you out from the lectern. Yeah, they showed him. They showed Donald Trump. They showed us all! The Democrats aren’t going to allow Donald Trump to be normalized! Nor kids with cancer! Nor foster parents of 40 kids. Nor victims of rape and murder by the Third World barbarians Democrats imported into the country. No, the party that thinks some women have penises isn’t going to normalize the party that doesn’t.

Why are Liberal Women so Unhappy?

Some truths do not care if you are liberal or conservative. Two plus two still equals four no matter which side of the aisle you sit on. Gravity will pull Republicans and Democrats downwards at the same rate.

Some psychological truths are equally impartial. All people everywhere want their lives to have meaning. All people everywhere feel the need to fit in. If you do not have those things, you will likely be unhappy. That is true whether you voted for Trump or Harris.

However, those same immutable truths may be better grasped by one side than the other. If liberals were especially good at math, it would not change the underlying principles of addition — but it might be worth asking why liberals were so good at it.

THE REID, OUT: MSNBC’s Bitter Race Arsonist Has Her Swan Song

As reported yesterday, left-wing propaganda outlet MSNBC made significant changes to their programming slate. Most notably, the network canceled The ReidOut, the prime-time vehicle for bitter race arsonist Joy Reid. It was unclear whether she’d come on for a farewell broadcast. But at 7PM Eastern time, we had our answer. Farewell, indeed.

Reid kicked the show off with an unhinged monologue, per longstanding custom, equating federal employees’ struggle to continue working from home with the civil rights movement, and issuing a call to Resistance™
