‘Person of interest’ in fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO an anti-capitalist

By Joe Marino and Kate Sheeshy | New York Post The person of interest nabbed in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is an anti-capitalist Ivy League grad who liked online quotes from “Unabomber’’ Ted Kaczynski — and apparently hated the medical community because of how it treated his sick relative, law-enforcement sources told The Post on Monday. Tech whiz Luigi Mangione, 26, of Towson, Md., has not been charged but was taken into custody Monday morning at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Penn., after an intense manhunt following the coldblooded execution of Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel last week, sources said. The former prep-school valedictorian was caught with a gun, silencer, four fake IDs with names used during the killer’s stint in ...

Manhattan jury finds Daniel Penny not guilty in NYC subway chokehold death

By Justin Bailey | Daily Caller A Manhattan jury has found Daniel Penny not guilty on criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely. Marine veteran Penny, 26, placed 30-year-old Neely in a chokehold after the older man began acting erratically on a New York City subway, according to law enforcement. Witnesses said Neely, a homeless man, was yelling and acting erratically on the F train after boarding, adding that they felt threatened by his behavior. Prosecutors said Penny held Neely in a chokehold for approximately six minutes. The more serious charge of second-degree manslaughter was dismissed last week after the jury was hung.

Lara Trump stepping down as RNC Co-chair amid U.S. Senate bid speculation

By Simon Kent | Breitbart Republican National Committee (RNC) co-chair Lara Trump is stepping down from her party role as she considers replacing Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R), whom her father-in-law, President-elect Trump, picked for secretary of state. “It is something I would seriously consider,” she told the Associated Press in an interview, referring to serving in the Senate.  “If I’m being completely transparent, I don’t know exactly what that would look like. And I certainly want to get all of the information possible if that is something that is real for me,” Trump added. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Harris won female cat owners, but Trump got the dog owner vote: AP VoteCast

By  Linley Sanders, Humera Lodhi and Annie Ng | AP The lead-up to the 2024 election was all about cat owners — but in the end, the dogs had their day. President-elect Donald Trump won slightly more than half of voters who own either cats or dogs, with a big assist from dog owners, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters. Dog owners were much more likely to support Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris. Cat owners, meanwhile, were split between the two candidates. About two-thirds of voters said they own a dog or cat, but pet owners don't usually get much attention from politicians. That is, until this year, when then-vice presidential candidate JD Vance's old comments about “childless cat ladies” briefly became a campaign issue — and Taylor Swift signed he...

U.S., Israel conduct dozens of strikes, hit more than 75 targets in wake of Syria’s regime collapse

By John Oyewale | Daily Caller The U.S. and Israel conducted dozens of airstrikes Sunday on targets in Syria following the dramatic collapse of the ruling Assad regime and amid concerns radical and terrorist groups could exploit Syria’s current situation. The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced it hit over 75 “known [Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham] ISIS camps and operatives in central Syria” using precision airstrikes. CENTCOM added that it struck the targets to “disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS” and render it incapable of exploiting the nation’s current state to regroup in central Syria. There was no indication of civilian deaths from the strikes, CENTCOM noted. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY CALLER

Democratic governors (and 2028 hopefuls) gather to chart path under a Trump administration

By Irie Sentner | Politico California — Still reeling from the party’s electoral losses last month, the country’s Democratic governors descended on a plush Beverly Hills hotel on Friday and Saturday for a series of closed-door meetings with donors, interest groups and advocacy organizations. Officially, the event was a time to chart a path forward under a Trump administration. Unofficially, it also served as a preview of the next Democratic primary. “You're witnessing the kickoff to the 2028 presidential primary, live and in-person,” said one adviser to major Democratic Party donors, granted anonymity to speak candidly. He added: “This is the audition for the next president to a room full of donors, operatives, reporters, etc.” READ THE FULL STORY AT POLITICO

Butcher: Major textbook publisher caught spreading LGBTQ and DEI ideology in schools

By Jonathan Butcher  | Daily Signal “Pretty disgusting” and “grotesque.” That’s how a Florida parent described an online session for students on “gender” provided by two K-12 virtual public schools in November—a session that virtual school officials held without first informing parents. This schools’ attempt to sidestep families is just the latest in a long list of examples demonstrating that some educators and academic publishers will simply go around parents to push lewd content on K-12 students. Yet this particular incident has implications for local, state, and even federal policymakers. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY SIGNAL

This sailor fought the Japanese at Pearl Harbor—with football pads on

By Claire Barrett | Air Force Times The sailors of the USS Pennsylvania football team were suited up. Although partially cloudy, the temperatures hovered around a balmy 71 degrees Fahrenheit, promising decent weather for what was dubbed the “Super Bowl” of the Navy. Their opponents from the USS Arizona were donning similar gear and readying for a scrimmage, before the 1:00 p.m. fleet championship, when the first Japanese bomb struck the USS Oklahoma in Battleship Row, Oahu, Hawaii. The date was Dec. 7, 1941, and unbeknownst to the Americans on the ground and at sea, they were at war. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE AIR FORCE TIMES
