Live by the blast, die by the blast.

Political extremism is on the rise in Europe and around the world, with all the violence that goes with it.

But sometimes, the radical tactics they employ turn against themselves.

This was the case in the outskirts of the Italian capital of Rome, where the bodies of an    ‘anarchist couple’ were found, buried under the rubble of a house, after the bomb they were making blew up and killed them.

The Telegraph reported:

“Police believed Alessandro Mercogliano, 53, and 36-year-old Sara Ardizzone were plotting an attack against a police station and Leonardo, a defense contractor, which made parts for F-35 jets.

Traces of ammonium nitrate, a chemical used to make explosives, were found in the debris of the abandoned building beside an ancient Roman aqueduct on Friday.

Police said the pair were supporters of Alfredo Cospito, the jailed figurehead of a loosely organized anarchist network called the Informal Anarchist Federation.”

Cospito is serving a 20-year prison sentence for a series of parcel bombs and attacks targeting Italian authorities.

“’There is a climate of tension that anarchists and far-left elements want to continue to create in our country’, Mr. Tajani, who is [deputy prime minister and] also the foreign minister, told Italian TV. ‘It worries us greatly because it confirms everything that was said during the most violent demonstrations that took place in many Italian cities’.”

In the latest not shocking but reprehensible news regarding victims of leftist indoctrination Campus Reform is reporting “62 percent of American adults under 30 say they hold favorable views of socialism.”

Throughout history, like Communism, Socialism has oppressed many and has not worked.

Despite this demonstrable fact, sadly, many academic institutions in America have been promoting this evil ideology.

A recent survey found that only 38 percent of American youth had an unfavorable view of Socialism.

Socialism, as we have seen throughout history, is an ideology steeped in division and resentment.

When asked about Communism in this survey, 34 percent of respondents aged 18–29 answered “favorable,” with 66 percent answering “unfavorable.”

This is way too high and is a reflection on the current educational system, which is dominated by Left-wing division and Cultural Marxism.

“Support for socialism and communism among 18–29-year-olds exceeds that of the general population and past polls of young adults.”

“In 2020, Campus Reform covered similar findings in a poll which found that “70 percent of Millennials say they are likely to vote for a socialist while one in three view communism favorably.”

This is yet another reminder that Universities have largely failed to prepare students for real life and instead have become breeding grounds of class and race resentment.

It’s time for donors who care about America and its values to demand that colleges end the indoctrination of the Left and allow a free exchange of ideas on campus.

Communism and Socialism are reprehensible, un-American ideologies that should not be promoted by people in positions of power.

A Mexican national who lacked “any identifying documents” was arrested and charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault of a woman in Utah.

The violent attack took place in Salt Lake County by 30-year-old Jesus Alejandro Ramirez-Padilla. He told authorities that he had “thoughts of killing someone” prior to strangling a woman in an alley. He then slashed her throat numerous times.

Salt Lake City Police sent officers to respond to a call of a woman crying in an alley. When they arrived, they found the woman with deep wounds on her neck, bleeding.

The woman was transported to the hospital in critical condition this past Wednesday.

KUTV News Reported:

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — A man was accused of attempted murder after police said he admitted to having homicidal thoughts and injuring a woman with the intent of putting “her out of her misery.”

Jesus Alejandro Ramirez-Padilla, 30, was arrested in Salt Lake City, facing attempted murder and aggravated assault charges.

Officers with the Salt Lake City Police Department responded to a report of a woman crying in an alley near 2525 South 500 East on Wednesday. They arrived at the scene and found the woman bleeding, with a deep cut along her neck, according to the probable cause statement.

“Officers used a homeowner’s camera nearby to identify a suspect. They said the camera captured two people walking in the area before they left the camera’s view. The camera then captured the suspect fleeing the scene and the victim struggling to stand, according to documents.” KUTV News Reported.

Authorities found Ramirez-Padilla with blood stains on his pants and hands.

During his interview with the police, he confessed to strangling and slashing the woman’s throat numerous times. He allegedly claimed that he had an altered state of mind because of drugs.

Authorities said that Ramirez-Padilla met her the night before to use drugs together. He was alleged to have said that he slashed her throat to “put her out of her misery.” This was according to what the authorities wrote in the court documents.

He was arrested and has been in the Salt Lake County Jail since Wednesday.

Ramirez-Padilla is likely an illegal alien. Border Hawk is awaiting a response from the Department of Homeland Security.

US Central Command on Sunday released footage of the US military eliminating Iran’s drone capabilities.

“U.S. forces continue to eliminate the Iranian regime’s one-way attack drone capabilities, which they’ve used to indiscriminately target civilians throughout the region,” CENTCOM said.

WATCH:

President Trump on Saturday evening threatened to obliterate Iran’s power plants if they don’t fully open the Strait of Hormuz.

“If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP,” Trump said on Saturday evening.

President Trump’s warning comes as Iran is only allowing certain ships, including oil tankers, to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz to all oil tankers and vessels except for a few approved ships.

Oil spiked to $112 per barrel amid the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian attacks on Qatar’s oil facility.

20% of the world’s oil supply goes through the Straight of Hormuz.

Last Tuesday US Central Command released unclassified footage of US Military strikes on the Iranian navy in the Strait of Hormuz.

The footage showed an Iranian submarine and smaller vessels being blown up.

Iran responded to the “terrorist president of the United States” after Trump threatened to attack its power plants if Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz by Monday.

Army spokesman Ebrahim Zolfaghari made the threat on state television.

“We have repeatedly said the Strait of Hormuz is closed only to the enemy and to harmful traffic.”

“It has not yet been completely closed and is under our intelligent control, and harmless transit – under specific regulations that ensure our security and interests – is allowed.”

“However, if the United States carries out its threats against Iran’s power plants, the following punitive actions will be taken immediately”

“The Strait of Hormuz will be completely closed and will not reopen until our damaged power plants are rebuilt.”

“All power plants and the energy and information‑technology infrastructure of Israel will be widely targeted.”

Another day, another total disaster courtesy of the Democrats’ endless political games.

While radical leftists in Congress play chicken with America’s security and pretend the southern border isn’t a wide-open catastrophe, hardworking TSA officers are walking off the job in droves, and American families and businesses are left holding the bag.

According to shocking new numbers dropped by the White House itself:

“400+ TSA officers have quit. $2.5 BILLION lost. Airports in chaos. Americans stuck in the fallout. All because of Democrats’ political games. Fund DHS. Now.”

That’s the cold, hard reality of what happens when Democrats refuse to do their damn jobs and fund the Department of Homeland Security like responsible adults.

400+ TSA officers have quit.
$2.5 BILLION lost.

The Department of Homeland Security hammered the point home on X:

“The Democrats’ political games are forcing our @TSA officers to work without pay for the THIRD time in six months — forcing many to leave the force, including 35 in New England.

This loss leaves CRITICAL gaps in staffing and significantly decreases TSA’s ability to meet passenger demand, as each new recruit requires 4-6 MONTHS of training.”

Each new TSA recruit requires 4 to 6 months of training, meaning the system cannot rapidly recover from these losses. In the meantime, airports are left understaffed, passengers are left waiting, and security operations are stretched dangerously thin.

AOL reported:

The ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown is taking its toll on the thousands of Transportation Security Administration employees at airports who have been working without pay.

Approximately 60,000 TSA officers who have gone over a month with partial pay began receiving their first $0 paychecks last week.

Many say they are living in fear, with some taking on extra jobs or even leaving the agency altogether to make ends meet.

And if there is no relief soon, veteran TSA leaders fear that the stress and uncertainty could impact operations for years.

On Saturday, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has offered to cover the salaries of Transportation Security Administration (TSA) personnel during the ongoing partial government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country,” Musk wrote in a post on his platform X.
