A Nebraska woman apparently received a visit from Secret Service agents on Friday after posting a thinly veiled threat toward White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, where she appeared to call for a televised hanging. 

On Thursday, leftwing keyboard warrior Jamie Bonkiewicz ominously wrote on X, “When Karoline Leavitt gets what she deserves, I hope it’s televised.”

Many in the comments section on her post took it as a threat or a call for Leavitt’s death.

According to Bonkiewicz, this led to a Secret Service visit to her home the next day.

“The Secret Service came to my door today because of a tweet,” she said in an X post on Friday.

“No threats. No violence. Just words. That’s where we are now.”

Bonkiewicz also posted footage from the exchange with agents, where she claimed that she only wanted to see public trials but refused to answer further questioning.

The officer explained to her and her husband, “Obviously, you have freedom of speech. Everybody has that. Crossing the line is when you’re going like a direct threat, like ‘I will go kill the President,’ or statements like that.” He continued, “Something like this, veiled threat, it’s– is it a threatening nature? Now that I know you didn’t mean anything by it, it’s basically a non-issue. So, it’ll basically end here.”

However, she admitted that she wanted to see a public Nuremberg-style execution for Leavitt. “Like the Nuremberg trials,” she said in reference to the post-World War II Nuremberg Trials, where Nazi leaders were tried for crimes against humanity, and 12 were sentenced to death.

“When all of this sh*t is over, I want to see all of them go to trial, and I want it to be televised.”

WATCH:

When leftists are constantly calling for the death of Republican politicians, making threats, attempting to kill President Trump, and assassinating prominent conservatives like Charlie Kirk, every word they say should be taken seriously.

California’s educational outcomes rank among the worst in the nation when compared with other large states.

Blue states spend far more time on DEI-related lessons than red states, experience more student walkouts and protests, and have seen more strike activity in recent years, resulting in lost instructional days.

Large amounts of classroom time are wasted on ideological nonsense instead of academics.

Approved curricula in blue states prioritize many courses that conservative parents would view as a waste of time.

These programs also exist in red states, largely because cities in red states tend to be blue, but they are far more common and entrenched in blue states.

Social-emotional learning exists in both red and blue states, but blue states impose formal frameworks and statewide standards, while red states apply it more loosely or locally.

Climate change education shows a clear divide, with blue states mandating strong standards and providing state funding, while red states vary widely and mostly offer limited courses.

Ethnic studies is largely unique to California, with no comparable statewide equivalent in red states.

Discipline policies also differ sharply. Blue states emphasize restorative justice and reduced suspensions, while red states retain traditional discipline approaches.

Some blue districts have adopted “equitable grading” that deemphasizes tests, deadlines, and penalties, while red states rely on traditional grading systems.

To illustrate the difference between red and blue states, this article compares California with Florida and Indiana.

Florida was selected because both Florida and California have large Latino populations, yet conservative Florida scores significantly higher across many educational outcomes while spending less money.

This demonstrates that outcomes are not determined by race or funding, but by focus and hard work.

The data reflects this gap clearly. In the 2024 NAEP assessments, only 31 percent of California fourth graders achieved reading proficiency, a lower rate than both Florida and Indiana.

In eighth-grade math, California recorded just 23 percent proficiency, compared with 27 percent in Indiana and 26 percent in Florida.

California’s high school graduation rate stands at 84.8 percent, the lowest among the three states, while its dropout rate of 8.9 percent is nearly triple Florida’s 3.1 percent.

California students lose a massive amount of instructional time to nonacademic coursework. Ethnic studies alone consumes approximately 90 to 180 hours, the equivalent of a full semester to a year-long course.

When combined with formal social-emotional learning programs at roughly 30 to 40 hours per year, enhanced climate education beyond basic science instruction at 15 to 20 hours, and restorative justice practices consuming another 20 to 30 hours, the total reaches approximately 200 to 250 or more hours annually.

This is instructional time that students in red states spend on traditional academics.

That loss is equivalent to one to one-and-a-half full-year courses not spent on mathematics, reading, science depth, history, or foreign languages.

This displacement is especially damaging for California’s English Learner population, which makes up roughly 19 percent of the state’s students and urgently needs maximum time devoted to core academics and English language development, not ethnic studies and ideological coursework.

This instructional imbalance helps explain why red states such as Mississippi and Alabama recovered more effectively from pandemic learning loss and are now outperforming blue states like California and Oregon on NAEP assessments.

Students in red states receive more actual academic instruction time, while California diverts hundreds of hours away from core subjects that students, especially English Learners, need most.

As bad as California’s official numbers are, the reality is worse. California uses accountability exclusions that affect how student scores are counted in public reporting.

Under federal accountability rules in ESSA, students must be enrolled in a school for at least one full year, from Census Day in October through testing in May, for their scores to count toward that school’s or district’s performance rating.

Migrant and some newcomer students move frequently and often remain in a school for only three to six months, which means their scores are often excluded from School Dashboard ratings. Those scores still exist in the state database, but they do not count toward a school’s public performance grade.

Under California’s Assembly Bill 714, passed in 2024, newcomer pupils who have been in the United States for less than three years are eligible for exemptions from certain local graduation requirements and may be granted a fifth year of high school.

As a result, students who take longer to complete graduation requirements are not immediately counted as dropouts.

Even when it comes to migrants, California fails. California’s migrant students perform significantly worse than migrant students in other states.

Migrant students are children whose families move for agricultural or fishing work and represent a small subset of the total student population. Among migrant students, California achieves only 12.1 percent math proficiency, compared with 18.5 percent in Florida and 15.2 percent in Indiana.

California’s migrant students also have higher dropout rates at 17.8 percent, compared with 10.2 percent in Florida and 11.1 percent in Indiana.

Chronic absenteeism among California’s migrant students reaches 34.2 percent, compared with 29.1 percent in Florida and 26.5 percent in Indiana. These comparisons reflect migrant student populations only, not overall statewide performance.

In California, students are often placed in grades based on chronological age rather than prior academic completion. Research from the Public Policy Institute of California confirms that many immigrant students enter the system with interrupted formal education.

Because of federal and state laws, a 15-year-old who may have only completed fourth grade in their home country is often placed directly into ninth or tenth grade in a U.S. high school.

This results in lower scores because students are tested on high-school-level material such as Algebra or Biology without having completed foundational fifth through eighth grade coursework.

Yes, California scores are lower as a result, but liberals believe diversity is our strength.

President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice just handed Second Amendment supporters a big win.

And it looks to rewrite nearly 100 years of precedent.

The DOJ has ruled that a century-old federal ban on sending handguns through the mail is unconstitutional and cannot be enforced.

The DOJ released the 15-page opinion, written by T. Elliot Gaiser, the assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel, on Thursday.

The opinion ultimately determined that the 1927 law, which made it illegal to mail concealable firearms (typically handguns such as pistols and revolvers, but also short-barreled shotguns and rifles), was an infringement on Second Amendment rights.

“We conclude that the restriction imposed by section 1715 violates the Second Amendment,” Gaiser wrote. “Section 1715 makes it difficult to travel with arms for lawful purposes, including self-defense, target shooting, and hunting.

“The statute also imposes significant barriers to shipping constitutionally protected firearms as articles of commerce, which interferes with citizens’ incidental rights to acquire and maintain arms.

“Indeed, the statute ultimately aims to suppress traffic in constitutionally protected articles thus rendering the law per se unconstitutional as to those articles, and we are aware of no historical analogues that would satisfy the government’s burden of showing that this unprecedented restriction ‘is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.’”

According to The Hill, current U.S. Postal Service policy says that nonmailable firearms found in the mail “must be immediately reported to the United States Postal Inspection Service.”

Investigations are then handed over to the proper U.S. attorney’s office.

That hurdle appears to be coming to an end soon.

However, despite the pro-Second Amendment tilt to this opinion, it is not all-encompassing.

Of note, ammunition and gunpowder will not be subject to this new freedom.

“We also do not conclude that the Postal Service is required to carry ammunition or gunpowder,” Gaiser’s opinion read.

“Even though ammunition is constitutionally protected… a mailing restriction on all explosives serves legitimate postal needs to prevent injury to postal employees and property,” Gaiser wrote.

The opinion added, “Such facially neutral restrictions do not discriminate against constitutionally protected items.”

Gaiser ended his opinion with this: “Accordingly, the Executive Branch may not, consistent with the Constitution, enforce section 1715 with respect to constitutionally protected firearms, and the Postal Service should modify its regulations to conform with the scope of the Second Amendment as described in this opinion.”

A left-wing activist identifying herself only as “TJ” openly told the Salt Lake City Council that she runs a large-scale “ICE Watch” operation, a coordinated activist network that tracks federal immigration agents, collects photos, verifies tips, and shares real-time intelligence.

The shocking confession was delivered calmly and unapologetically.

According to her own words, TJ has been operating the network for nearly a full year, overseeing what amounts to a civilian surveillance and intelligence operation targeting federal law enforcement officers whose job it is to enforce U.S. immigration law.

TJ:
“TJ is here in person. My name is TJ. I’m a resident of Salt Lake City. I am uniquely informed about ICE activity, as I’ve been running a virtual ICE Watch with over 20,000 local, mostly Latino, community members for 356 days now. It’s community-led. People send me photos and tips, and I verify the information.

Over the year, we’ve witnessed repeated disregard for both constitutional and human rights of hardworking, tax-paying, beloved community members—the majority of whom have no criminal record at all.

We’ve seen federalized agents lie repeatedly about incidents to try and drum up federal charges. We’ve seen them force random store customers to lie on the ground and hold them at gunpoint.

We’ve seen them kidnap a woman with legal status to get her husband to surrender in her place.

You won’t hear most of these stories because families are too afraid to share. And while most incidents happen on the West Side, even the ones within Salt Lake City violate people’s Fourth Amendment rights against warrantless, racially profiled stops and unreasonable searches.

They violate their Fifth Amendment right to due process, and they lead to detainment in deplorable, inhumane confinement conditions where people are cold, hungry, dirty, humiliated, disrespected, and worse.

I believe we’re being shielded from what’s happening in blue states like Minnesota by our blue-dot status within an otherwise red state. I understand you think you’re doing all you can, but there’s still more that Salt Lake City and SLCPD can do.

I’m running out of time, but I’ll be sending a follow-up memo tonight with specific actions you can take.”

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Renee Nicole Good, the 37-year-old woman fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday, had “trained” to do “ICE Watch” and disrupt the agency’s operations.

The Minnesota ICE Watch group that Renee Good was part of has been exposed for sharing a “de-arrest primer” manual that teaches its members and supporters how to physically interfere with law enforcement during arrests.

The guide, posted on their Instagram account in June, states that every de-arrest is a “micro-intifada,” and provides step-by-step advice on confronting and assaulting officers.

Minnesota ICE Watch, described as a “loose collective of agitators,” focuses on documenting and resisting federal immigration enforcement, including ICE agents. The group operates under the banner of an “autonomous collective documenting & resisting against ICE, police, & all colonial militarized regimes,” as stated on their Instagram profile.

In one of the most jaw-dropping, no-holds-barred exchanges seen on cable news in recent memory, Sean Hannity absolutely dismantled radical Democrat Rep. Shri Thanedar during a live interview.

The confrontation centered on illegal immigration, violent crime, and Thanedar’s voting record, and it quickly became clear that Hannity came armed with facts, while Thanedar came armed with excuses.

Right off the bat, Hannity confronted Thanedar over his refusal to stand during the President’s joint session speech honoring the families of Laken Riley, a 24-year-old nursing student murdered by an illegal immigrant, and Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl brutally raped and murdered.

Thanedar attempted to deflect by claiming he was “sick of the president,” but Hannity made clear the moment had nothing to do with politics, and everything to do with basic human decency.

Hannity then pressed further, asking whether Thanedar had ever once picked up the phone to call an American family whose loved one had been raped or murdered by an illegal immigrant.

Thanedar dodged.
He deflected.
He rambled about constituents and ICE.

But he could not name a single family.

Perhaps the most damning moment came when Hannity confronted Thanedar with his actual voting record.

Thanedar voted against legislation mandating the deportation of illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes.

When asked whether he regretted that vote, Thanedar replied:

“No, I don’t regret that vote.”

Hannity pressed him with a question every American understands:

“If it was your wife, your daughter, your sister—raped by an illegal immigrant—would you want that person to stay in the country?”

Thanedar refused to answer.

Instead, he claimed he didn’t remember the bill and insisted that “no bill is perfect”—a jaw-dropping justification for allowing convicted sex offenders to remain in the United States.

The interview grew even more explosive when Hannity confronted Thanedar over his rhetoric attacking ICE agents—specifically an incident where an officer was injured after a suspect accelerated a vehicle directly at him.

Thanedar dismissed injury reports, accused DHS of lying, and, despite claiming to believe in due process, publicly labeled the ICE agent a “murderer.”

Hannity was visibly outraged.

“You call ICE agents murderers, and then wonder why the threat level against them is up 8,000%.”

Hannity listed the criminals ICE arrests daily, murderers, rapists, cartel members, drug traffickers, and terrorists, and laid the blame squarely at the feet of politicians like Thanedar who demonize law enforcement for political gain.

The exchange culminated in Hannity delivering a scathing indictment:

“You never lifted a phone to call one victim’s family. You attack the brave men and women who put their lives on the line. I find it nauseating—and you should be ashamed of yourself.”

Even then, Thanedar doubled down, accusing ICE of “murdering American citizens,” despite video evidence showing officers defending themselves from deadly threats.

Hannity closed the interview decisively:

“I see a very different tape than you. I saw a man defending his life.”
