Far Left Activists Pressure Providence, RI Mayor to Stop Creation of Mural Honoring Murder Victim Iryna Zarutska (VIDEO)

Screencap of Twitter/X video.

Far left activists in Providence, Rhode Island have pressured the mayor to halt the creation of a mural honoring the memory of Iryna Zarutska, the legal immigrant from Ukraine who was murdered by a repeat offender on a train in North Carolina.

The mural was being painted on a wall next to a gay bar in the city. The owners of the bar had no problem with it until leftists started claiming that the mural would be a ‘far right’ symbol.

Providence Mayor Brett Smiley, a Democrat, caved to the activists immediately. This is all so pathetic.

WJAR News in Providence reports:

Providence Mayor Smiley calls for removal of controversial mural honoring slain refugee

What began as a memorial for a slain Ukrainian refugee has transformed into a political lightning rod in the “Creative Capital,” with Mayor Brett Smiley now calling for the artwork’s removal.

The mural, located on the exterior of The Dark Lady, a prominent LGBTQ+ club downtown, remains incomplete as city officials and community members clash over its message and funding.

The Mayor’s Office confirmed Sunday that Smiley wants the mural of Iryna Zarutska taken down.

He later released the following statement: “The murder of the individual depicted in this mural was a devastating tragedy, but the misguided, isolating intent of those funding murals like the one across the county is I continue to encourage our community to support local artists whose work brings us closer together rather than divide us.”…

Artist Ian Gaudreau, who began the work last week, told NBC 10 News on Friday that he never intended for the tribute to be political. Some residents visiting the site over the weekend echoed that sentiment, urging the community to focus on the victim rather than the politics.

Independent New England journalist John Gately did a report on this which you can watch below:

The mayor of Providence should be ashamed of himself. He calls this mural divisive. Can you even imagine a Democrat saying such a thing about the many murals of George Floyd? Of course not. It would never happen.

Democrats just don’t want to be reminded that their policies are responsible for Zarutska’s death.

Even Far-Left CNN Has Had Enough — Brianna Keilar GRILLS Rep. Eric Swalwell in 3-Minute HOT SEAT Over Democrats’ Refusal to Fund DHS

Even Far-Left CNN Has Had Enough — Brianna Keilar GRILLS Rep. Eric Swalwell in 3-Minute HOT SEAT Over Democrats’ Refusal to Fund DHS
March 30, 2026

CNN News Central hosts a discussion about Congress taking a two-week recess amid ongoing DHS shutdown concerns, featuring a split-screen with two presenters in Sacramento.

Even the propaganda masters over at CNN are starting to realize that the Radical Left’s war on border security is a losing battle.

CNN’s Brianna Keilar actually did something resembling journalism, cornering the disgraced Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) over the Democrats’ shameful obstruction of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding.

As The Gateway Pundit has been reporting for weeks, radical Democrats in the Senate and House have been holding the entire Department of Homeland Security hostage, refusing to pass a clean funding bill that fully supports ICE and CBP while the partial shutdown drags on.

Keilar pressed Swalwell on a basic and devastating question: if Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) already has sufficient funding to continue operations, then what exactly are Democrats accomplishing by blocking full DHS funding?

Clearly caught off guard by receiving a real question from a friendly network, Swalwell resorted to the most deranged rhetoric we’ve heard since the J6 committee disbanded.

The man who was famously compromised by a Chinese spy (Fang Fang) claimed that funding ICE and CBP is “essentially sanctioning or signing off on more public executions.”

Brianna Keilar:
House Republicans want DHS fully funded, including ICE. Democrats want to fund DHS minus ICE and some CBP. Realistically, though, ICE does have enough money to operate through the end of Trump’s term already, even without that funding the Democrats object to. What are you gaining as a party, uh, for the American people, if ICE is still going to be funded to operate either way here?

Eric Swalwell:
Well, the White House, by funding ICE and CBP, is essentially sanctioning or signing off on more public executions. You know, we saw what happened with a nurse named Preeti and a mom named Good, and I’m not going to co-sign on that. And I’m with 100 members of the Senate—Republicans and Democrats—who voted to fund every part of Homeland Security, including TSA, but not give more money to CBP or ICE.

That’s what Speaker Johnson should have done. I should be sitting in Washington voting on this right now, but instead Speaker Johnson sent Republicans home. And it doesn’t even make sense—he can’t even be on the same page with the Senate Republican leader, who recognizes it’s absurd to have millions of Americans wait in line at airports when the solution was passed 100 years ago.

Brianna Keilar:
Do you disagree with what I laid out there—that ICE has enough money, that there is enough money without the money that Democrats are objecting to? Because what are—what—

Eric Swalwell:
That’s why I don’t want more money.

Brianna Keilar:
But if they have enough, then how is it not just symbolic? Because at this point, you have a lot of people who are paying the price, right? A lot of attention has been paid to TSA—they, of course, are now getting paid because of the executive order. But it’s not just them, right? Civilians in the Coast Guard—they are going without, many of them in California. How long should they be prepared to work without a paycheck?

Eric Swalwell (00:01:57.08):
It’s not symbolic to a 6-year-old boy named Joseph in my district. A couple weeks ago, he and his family were arrested and deported, and he’s deaf, and he goes to a school for the deaf. ICE wouldn’t even allow him to take his assistive hearing devices with him. They sent him to Colombia within days.

My staff flew to Colombia and took the assistive living devices. So for Californians, you know, this is anything but symbolic—it’s real, it’s present. And I cannot sanction what they’re doing, co-sign on what they’re doing, or even symbolically give them more support, because these are people scared for their lives.

And the solution was right in front of us: do what the Senate did—don’t give them any more money, but fund everyone else like TSA. We can do that right now in the House of Representatives. Speaker Johnson should.

Brianna Keilar:
And how long do you think folks should expect this shutdown to continue?

Eric Swalwell:
It can end right now. You know, Brianna—and the president, if he says he’s paying TSA, who the hell knows? He doesn’t even seem to believe in Congress anymore. He’s in defiance of the Republican leader in the Senate.

Brianna Keilar:
Let me rephrase it: how long are Democrats prepared—how long are Democrats prepared to hold the line on where they are if there isn’t a change from Republicans?

Eric Swalwell:
I will continue to support paying TSA. I cannot support more public executions or deporting more little children like the 6-year-old in my district who was sent without his hearing devices to Colombia. I’m not in for that, and most Americans aren’t either.

Kid Rock Responds to Army Investigating Helicopter Crew for Flyby at His Tennessee Home: “I think they’re gonna be alright, my buddy is Commander-in-Chief”
March 30, 2026

Trump supporter and music icon Kid Rock posted videos on Saturday showing him saluting a military helicopter hovering near his Nashville, Tennessee, area home located on a high hilltop, prompting an investigation by the Army. Rock spoke with a local TV station about the Army investigating the flyby, saying of those involved, “I think they’re gonna be alright, my buddy is commander-in-chief.”

Reportedly, a pair of AH-64 Apache attack helicopters were on a training mission Saturday, flying by Rock’s home and also over a Nashville ‘No Kings’ rally.

Rock calls his home the Southern White House and modeled it after the real one in Washington, D.C.

Kid Rock, who also performs under his given name Robert Ritchie, posted two videos showing him saluting the pilot, along with a jab at Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom, “This is a level of respect that shit for brains Governor of California will never know. God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her.”

Nashville ‘No Kings’ flyby:

CBS News reported on the Army investigation (excerpt)

Maj. Montrell Russell, a spokesman for the Army, said in a statement the Army is aware of the video that shows AH-64 Apache helicopters operating near Kid Rock’s house, located near Nashville.

“Army aviators must adhere to strict safety standards, professionalism, and established flight regulations,” Russell said. “An administrative review is underway to assess the mission and verify compliance with regulations and airspace requirements. Appropriate action will be taken if any violations are found.”

Maj. Jonathon Bless, a spokesperson for the 101st Airborne Division, said the command has opened an investigation “to review the circumstances surrounding this activity.”

“The 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and Fort Campbell maintain strict standards for aviation safety, professionalism, and adherence to established flight regulations,” he said in a statement. “We take all concerns regarding aircraft operations and their impact on the surrounding community seriously.”

An Army official later confirmed to CBS News that the helicopters were conducting a training flight. The Army is reviewing why the helicopters appeared at Kid Rock’s house while on the training mission.

Rock did an interview with WKRN-TV about the flyby. Rock said he spoke with troops at Fort Campbell during a Thanksgiving visit with Vice President JD Vance last year about seeing them fly by his home and invited them to “cruise by” anytime. Rock said he had waved and cheered them before as they passed nearby. Rock said Saturday’s flyby was not planned and that he isn’t worried about the helicopter crew facing repercussions, saying, “I think they’re gonna be alright, my buddy is commander-in-chief.”

JUST IN: Swalwell Panics, Sends Kash Patel Cease and Desist Letter as FBI Director Pushes to Release Salacious Fang Fang Files

JUST IN: Swalwell Panics, Sends Kash Patel Cease and Desist Letter as FBI Director Pushes to Release Salacious Fang Fang Files
March 30, 2026

Eric Swalwell is panicking as Kash Patel pushes to release salacious files related to his relationship with Chinese spy and honeypot Fang Fang.

Democrat Rep. Swalwell is currently running for Governor of California.

Lawyers for Rep Eric Swalwell sent FBI Director Kash Patel cease and desist letter.

“Attorneys for Rep. Eric Swalwell demanded in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel that the bureau refrain from releasing decade-old investigative files involving the congressman’s purported ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence operative,” the Washington Post reported on Monday.

“Swalwell’s attorneys said in their letter that there was no justification for releasing the files, especially since the congressman had assisted the FBI in its investigation,” WaPo reported.

“The congressman has never been accused of wrongdoing in that matter and your attempt to release the file is a transparent attempt to smear him and undermine his campaign for governor of California,” the letter said, according to WaPo. “Your actions threaten to expose you, others at the FBI, and the FBI itself to significant legal liability.”

In was previously reported that the Intel Community has a classified report detailing Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell’s intimate relationship with Chinese spy and honeypot Fang Fang.

According to Axios, Fang Fang was a “bundler” for Eric Swalwell and other Democrat candidates but it was also reported the Chinese spy had an intimate relationship with Swalwell.

A source on Capitol Hill previously confirmed to the Federalist that Swalwell indeed had a sexual relationship with Fang Fang.

Despite the Chinese spy scandal, Swalwell remained on the House Intelligence Committee (thanks to Pelosi) and had access to some of the nation’s most highly classified information.

In 2021, Breitbart News reported that China puppet Joe Biden was hiding the classified report on Swalwell’s sexual relationship with Fang Fang.

“The report, which intelligence and national security sources familiar with its contents who spoke on condition of anonymity told Breitbart News, contains details of the nature of Swalwell’s relationship with Fang Fang including certain sexual acts they allegedly engaged in together. Sources familiar with it, however, would not provide any more detail on the nature of those acts or other details in the report—which is currently classified,” Breitbart News reported.

“For those who have seen the details of the Swalwell case, it was shocking that Pelosi and Schiff so willingly kept him on the intelligence committee even for nakedly partisan lawmakers like themselves,” a former senior national security official familiar with the details of the report told Breitbart News.

Conservative reporter Nick Sortor previously confronted a drunk Swalwell about his relationship with Fang Fang.
