COMM DR 12 25
Venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale, a co-founder of data platform company Palantir, is calling for the return of public hangings as part of a broader push to restore what he describes as “masculine leadership” to the US.
In a statement posted on X Friday, Lonsdale said that he supported changing the so-called “three strikes” anti-crime law to ensure that anyone who is convicted of three violent crimes gets publicly executed, rather than simply sent to prison for life.
“If I’m in charge later, we won’t just have a three strikes law,” he wrote. “We will quickly try and hang men after three violent crimes. And yes, we will do it in public to deter others.”
Lonsdale then added that “our society needs balance,” and said that “it’s time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable.”
Lonsdale’s views on public hangings being necessary to restore “masculine leadership” drew swift criticism.
Gil Durán, a journalist who documents the increasingly authoritarian politics of Silicon Valley in his newsletter “The Nerd Reich,” argued in a Saturday post that Lonsdale’s call for public hangings showed that US tech elites are “entering a more dangerous and desperate phase of radicalization.”
“For months, Peter Thiel guru Curtis Yarvin has been squawking about the need for more severe measures to cement Trump’s authoritarian rule,” Durán explained. “Peter Thiel is ranting about the Antichrist in a global tour. And now Lonsdale—a Thiel protégé—is fantasizing about a future in which he will have the power to unleash state violence at mass scale.”
Taulby Edmondson, an adjunct professor of history, religion, and culture at Virginia Tech, wrote in a post on Bluesky that the rhetoric Lonsdale uses to justify the return of public hangings has even darker intonations than calls for state-backed violence.
“A point of nuance here: ‘masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable’ is how lynch mobs are described, not state-sanctioned executions,” he observed.
Theoretical physicist Sean Carroll argued that Lonsdale’s remarks were symbolic of a kind of performative masculinity that has infected US culture.
“Immaturity masquerading as strength is the defining personal characteristic of our age,” he wrote.
Tech entrepreneur Anil Dash warned Lonsdale that his call for public hangings could have unintended consequences for members of the Silicon Valley elite.
“Well, Joe, Mark Zuckerberg has sole control over Facebook, which directly enabled the Rohingya genocide,” he wrote. “So let’s have the conversation.”
And Columbia Journalism School professor Bill Grueskin noted that Lonsdale has been a major backer of the University of Austin, an unaccredited liberal arts college that has been pitched as an alternative to left-wing university education with the goal of preparing “thoughtful and ethical innovators, builders, leaders, public servants and citizens through open inquiry and civil discourse.”

the MAGA media response to six Democratic members of Congress reminding their former compatriots in the military and intelligence community of their duty to “refuse illegal orders” reached a fever pitch on Thursday. After President Donald Trump suggested earlier that day that the lawmakers should face the death penalty for sedition, his propagandists chimed in, describing the Democrats as “devious and subversive” and their actions as “border[ing] on treason.”
On Wednesday, Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), as well as Reps. Jason Crow (D-CO), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), Chris Deluzio (D-PA), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) released a video in which they urged current members of the military and intelligence community to disobey “illegal orders.” While they did not provide examples, the release came amid debates over the legality of U.S. military strikes in the Caribbean and domestic troop deployments. The video drew a deranged response from many on the right, who accused the lawmakers of committing “treason” and trying to “trigger a military coup.”
The president himself weighed in Thursday morning with a series of Truth Social posts in which he accused the lawmakers of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR,” described them as “traitors to our Country,” and called for them to be “ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL” for crimes he described as “punishable by DEATH!” The lawmakers in the video and Democratic House leadership both condemned Trump’s posts, while White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that Trump did not in fact seek the deaths of the members of Congress.
Trump is currently operating from a position of weakness, with his support in polls in a tailspinand his congressional allies having successfully revolted over the Jeffrey Epstein files. He’s previously responded to such circumstances by seeking to reunify his coalition by pointing them at a common enemy, and that seems to be what has happened this week. To the extent that he’s given his most loyal propagandists someone to attack, it’s working.
Fox News prime-time host Jesse Watters claimed on Thursday night that the “Democrats sent a clear message to everybody in the military and CIA: You're free to commit treason.” He described their actions as “devious and subversive,” said they were “planting coup seeds inside the Pentagon and at Langley,” and accused them of “psychological warfare launched by sitting politicians against the American military in peacetime” and “trying to blow up the chain of command.”

Watters’ colleague Sean Hannity argued the next hour, “The only question tonight [is] will these six Democratic lawmakers be held accountable in a court of law?” He then commented that he’s “not sure” they committed crimes punishable by death because he’s “not a lawyer,” and asked Fox contributor and former Republican congressman Jason Chaffetz to weigh in. Chaffetz assured him that “what they did borders on treason. It really does.” He added that “President Trump was actually exactly right” because “If you do commit treason, guess what? It is punishable by death. That's just the law. He's just reciting the law.”
Their competitors at Newsmax were similarly enraged. Carl Higbie declared that Trump’s posts show he “is done playing around with garbage,” pointed out that “George Washington did hang traitors many times, including Benedict Arnold's British counterpart,” and claimed that the Democrats “should be court-martialed themselves” because “that type of rhetoric from senators and congressmen is sedition.” Greg Kelly commented that “a lot of people” think the lawmakers committed “treason, or mutiny, or something along those lines,” and accused them of “plotting the seeds, I think, of another coup.” And The Right Squad’s Chris Plante said the Democrats were “inciting civil war.”
And Laura Loomer, whose influence in the Oval Office has triggered the firings of numerous administration officials for insufficient loyalty, wrote: “President Trump just re posted a post on Truth Social calling for seditious Democrat Senators to be hung for calling on members of the military to defy President Trump’s orders as Commander in Chief.”
“Trump is right,” she added. “That’s the type of justice Americans want to see.”

Brian Sauvé Calls For Rebellious Young Black Men To Be Killed By The State
10/06/2025
by
Brian Sauvé and Eric Conn, two far-right Christian nationalist pastors at Refuge Church in Utah, dedicated a recent episode of their "The King's Hall" podcast to discussing the murder of Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee who was brutally killed by a mentally ill Black man while riding a metro train in Charlotte, North Carolina earlier this year.
During the program, Sauvé and Conn—who are both aligned with racist Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon, having made multiple appearances at his conferences and on his podcast—blamed the murder on "black culture," and called for "rebellious" young Black men to be executed by the state, in accordance with the Bible.
"Let's say that somebody was coming into our church and they're Black," Sauvé said. "Would they be eligible for membership in our church? Yes, of course they would. They'd be eligible for membership in our church. But would they be permitted to participate in, embody, and practice what I would call black culture generally in our church? The answer is absolutely not. Why? Because the things, the characteristics that mark black culture [are] as a generalization in the same way Paul's talking about Cretans on Crete: They are evil, murderous, violent, bestial people; they steal, they kill, they destroy, they look like Satan in how they act, they are sinful to the core, they have besetting sins that are like fatherlessness, sexual immorality, they molest children at a high rate. Any criminal statistic that you could look at almost pretty much without exception, they excel at them, black culture.
"When we make this generalization, one of the purposes of it," Sauvé added, "[is] for policymakers to make the kind of political movements in terms of law and order that would usher in the change over time of that culture. One of them would be something like ... the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 21 concerning a rebellious child."
"I think it's something like five percent of Black males are murderers," Sauvé continued. "If you take that and then you took a law like Deuteronomy 21, which is a just law that got enacted through Moses; the law was that if you had a rebellious son, you have a child who's coming up into their manhood and they're rebellious, they don't listen—he lists some characteristics—and even though they're disciplined, they will not turn, he says the father is to bring them out into the town square, this is a rebellious son, and then they stone him to death. They kill him."
"And an armed robber would certainly be one of those," Conn replied.
"Oh, absolutely, Sauvé agreed. "Armed robber, all the ghetto culture; basically, take ghetto culture, it would describe this to a T. If you did that over three generations, how much violent crime would you have in the third and fourth generation? Much, much less."
"What we've done instead is we've actually, with unjust weights and measures, we have wildly penalized Whites for even virtuous acts in lawfare," Sauvé claimed. "Because liberals have appointed Blacks to positions of power, and they're practicing ethnic and racial in-group preference, like the several Black women who were involved in releasing Decarlos [Brown], the murderer in the city of Charlotte ... His younger brother was a murderer in prison. His father was a violent criminal. Okay, so there's two sons and a father. If they'd cut that line off back the generation or two before, there's no Decarlos to slit the throat."
"In this case, [we have] the double whammy of Black female judges [and] politicians who have appointed these sorts of people," Sauvé said. "If you look at who appointed the judge and the judge that released them, it's two Black women. And what did they do? They said, 'Oh, it's mental health, it's homelessness, it's this, it's that. It's not a criminal tendency of Black males that needs to be cut off through the wielding of the sword by the civil magistrate.'"

AN sn 9 25
An Arizona Republican lawmaker on Wednesday called for the execution of a Democratic congresswoman because she urged people upset with President Donald Trump to protest in the streets.
Kingman Republican Rep. John Gillette wrote on the social media site X that U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Democrat from Washington, was calling for the the government to be overthrown and should be hanged.
“Until people like this, that advocate for the overthrow of the American government are tried convicted and hanged.. it will continue,” Gillette said in response to a video of Jayapal.
That clip uploaded to X was from a longer video, which was posted online in March, that is part of Jayapal’s “Resistance Lab” series in which she and others discuss protest movements and non-violent actions. The session in question featured a speaker who studied political violence and spoke about non-violence.
The post Gillette responded to claimed that Jayapal was making a call to violence because she said protesters should be “strike ready” and “street ready.” The Arizona Mirror watched the video in its entirety and found no calls to violence or advocating for overthrowing the government; it was focused on “non-violent resistance” to Trump and advising people on how to do that.
In contrast, Gillette has expressed support for the Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, who violently assaulted police officers and broke down doors and windows in order to access the building so they could stop Congress from certifying the 2020 election. In several posts on X, he called the 1,600 or so people who were prosecuted — and since pardoned by Trump — for their actions that day “political prisoners.”
He refused to answer questions when the Mirror reached him by phone on Thursday.
“You guys aren’t known for putting out accurate information,” Gillette said. “The comment is what it is, it is on the post. You can see what it is, there is no hidden meaning. No nothing. You report whatever you want to report. We are done. Stop calling me. Have a good day.”
Gillette then hung up and he did not respond to follow up questions texted to him about the post. A representative for Jayapal said that she is out of the country and currently unable to comment.
What will he need to say before Republican leadership in the House takes action? This is language that leads to violence. I’m tired of him putting us and our families at risk.
– Assistant House Democratic Leader Nancy Gutierrez
One of Gillette’s Democratic colleagues in the Arizona House of Representatives said the Kingman Republican’s call for an elected official to be put to death for exercising their First Amendment right was appalling.
“The Congresswoman was clearly talking about nonviolent protest and legal strikes — absolutely nothing violent,” Assistant House Democratic Leader Nancy Gutierrez said in a statement to the Mirror. “Representative Gillette misconstrued her words to once again put a target on a political opponent’s back, calling for her to be hanged. What will he need to say before Republican leadership in the House takes action? This is language that leads to violence. I’m tired of him putting us and our families at risk.”
Gillette’s recent comments come after some of his democratic colleagues have voiced concerns over his rhetoric after he castigated them for calling for civility and unity in the wake of the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. In a message to all his fellow lawmakers that included a racial slur, he placed blame for political violence solely on Democrats and the political left, accusing them of stoking hate and violence against Republicans.
“The tone was set by your party; unity is no longer an option,” Gillette wrote to the 59 other members of the state House. “We handed you an olive ranch (sic), and you broke it. Your party invited the radicals to the table and they took over. Now you own them. As the J**s did at Peral (sic) Harbor, Radical Muslims on 911, your party has woken the sleeping giant.”
He has also recently come under fire for Islamophobic comments that led to an ethics complaint that was ultimately dismissed. The Republican chair of the House Ethics Committee said that Gillette had a First Amendment right to say whatever he wanted on social media without consequence.
Jeff Sharlet, a professor at Dartmouth and author of “The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War,” said he was “wary” to call Gillette’s words a direct call to violence, but said the comments were still worrying and part of a larger trend.
“I think it is grotesque what he is saying. I would be afraid that someone would maybe act on it,” Sharlet said, adding that if he were a Democratic politician who had to work with Gillette, he may be nervous. “If he got anywhere near the Congresswoman he is targeting, I’d want security to take notice.”
Discussions around political violence have reached a fever pitch in recent weeks, with high-profile conservatives laying blame on their political opponents and their rhetoric.
“We are having a punctuated burst — a historically high period of political violence that I would call America’s era of violent populism,” Dr. Robert Pape, a professor of political science at the University of Chicago who has studied political violence for 30 years, told the Mirror.
In June, Pape penned an op-ed in The New York Times saying that the country was on the brink of an “extremely violent era” in American politics.
“We are now … in the eye of the storm I was worried about,” Pape said.
Pape runs the Chicago Project on Security and Threats, a nonpartisan research center. In May, Pape’s organization found that 40% of Democrats supported the use of force to remove Trump and 25% of Republicans supported the use of military against anti-Trump protests, double what the numbers were last fall.
That violent rhetoric used by Gillette also could have an unintended consequence on him and his political allies, Pape said.
“It is going to push those supporters (of Jayapal) to becoming more defiant and probably more supportive of political violence against Republicans,” he explained. “Whatever his intentions are, it is increasing the danger to Republicans.”
Sharlet said that, although the intention behind Jayapal’s words was easy to discern, “this is not the time for ambiguous language.” Politicians, he said, should aim to speak to the public in a more truthful and concise manner.
“They need to know the way it boomerangs back in a negative way to their own community,” Pape said, adding that he’d advise them to be more like Kirk’s widow, Erika.
At the memorial service for her husband, she said she forgives the man who killed her husband, adding that “the answer to hate is not hate.”
“Erika Kirk offered an olive branch here, and we need more olive branches here,” Pape said.

mayor stands w gov pritzker on military 8 25
September 3, 2025, edition of The Daily Wire's The Matt Walsh Show
MATT WALSH (HOST): Now when you hear politicians like Brandon Johnson claim that they have solutions, remember videos like this one. They've gone out of their way to make violent crime much, much worse in Chicago. This is a deliberate effort that they've embarked on. Now it's true that in our federal system, states are not required to assist the federal government in carrying out certain policy objectives, but it's also true that states and local government cannot actively interfere with the federal government's decision to enforce the law. That is not states rights. That is treason.
Brandon Johnson is openly encouraging residents of Chicago to engage in treason against the United States. And for that reason, Brandon Johnson should be arrested, charged with treason, convicted, and then given the requisite punishment for a capital offense. Will that ever happen? Probably not. But then again, just a few days ago, Tren de Aragua, you know, they never thought that they'd be intercepted as they sped towards the United States on their drug boats. They certainly didn't imagine they'd get blown up without any warning.
All indications are that we are entering a new phase of federal governance, one where the U.S. military acts to defend the American people, where false narratives from NGOs are ignored, where criminals are actually punished when they violate the law in public. So who knows? Maybe Brandon Johnson shouldn't be so confident. Like Washington, D.C., which has experienced something like a 50% drop in violent crime since the National Guard moved in, Chicago is about to become a much safer place.
The more JB Pritzker lies about crime statistics, the more Brandon Johnson commits treason in public, the more obvious it becomes that this strategy needs to be applied to every major American city. Democrats have no response. They have no counterargument. The safer America becomes, the more they will complain. And in response, every American who's paying attention will recognize their party for what it is. They are the party of chaos, crime, and cartels, and they should be treated accordingly.

AN 6 25
One of President Donald Trump's closest associates is now publicly calling for a Democratic member of the U.S. Senate to be killed over a bill he introduced to rein in "corruption."
In a post to his X account, Trump confidant Roger Stone insisted that Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) was compromised by the Chinese Communist Party because of a company he co-founded getting venture capital from a Chinese company. Stone wrote that Kelly should be "charged with treason and if convicted executed, consistent with federal law."
The Daily Beast reported Friday that Stone's remark was in response to Kelly officially submitting a cryptocurrency regulation bill for consideration that would prevent the president, vice president and their families from "issuing, endorsing, or sponsoring crypto assets." Kelly's bill specifically mentioned "memecoins," which is particularly noteworthy as Trump has specifically promoted memecoins named after both himself and First Lady Melania Trump.

"Trump is cashing in on his presidency and making millions from his own crypto coins — this is corruption in broad daylight," Kelly tweeted.
The Trump family is also profiting from its crypto company, World Liberty Financial. His middle son Eric recently spoke at a conference in the United Arab Emirates, where the government of Dubai announced a $2 billion investment in cryptocurrency exchange Binance using a new "stablecoin" (a cryptocurrency with a price designed to be at or near $1 for a long period of time) from World Liberty. The deal could result in Trump directly raking in hundreds of millions of dollars.
It isn't just Democratic senators who are uneasy about Trump profiting from various cryptocurrency schemes. Republican Sens. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) have also gently insisted that it's improper for the president to openly profit from cryptocurrency while in office, with Lummis calling for "regulatory framework" that would address the issue.
Stone was found guilty of lying to Congress about Trump's knowledge of Russian efforts to interfere with the 2016 election, witness tampering and obstruction. Even though he had been sentenced to more than three years in federal prison, Trump pardoned him during his lame-duck period in December of 2020.

- Richard Harris claims that the response to the COVID pandemic was "one of the greatest episodes of corruption and human rights abuses the world has ever seen."
- Rep. Buddy Carter says that the Democrats who clashed with ICE officials are "clowns" and should be stripped of their committee assignments.
- Mark Meckler reports that he was "in Washington D.C. meeting with a bunch of folks last week" and is optimistic that "there is an appetite growing" among Republican legislators to support an Article V Convention of States to propose amendments to the Constitution.
- Joshua Haymes wants to see some public executions: "The Bible is pro-public execution. America’s founding fathers were pro-public execution. Good common sense is in favor of public execution as a deterrent. So why are you against public execution?"
- During a recent Right Response Ministries podcast attacking Judaism and the Talmud, co-host Wesley Todd declared that "Jews are our enemy."
- Nick Fuentes wants to get "really rich" so he can "just do some straight up illegal stuff" by having his henchmen kidnap a bunch of women who will then be forced to fight to the death for the "prize" of becoming his wife.
- Finally, it's disturbing to see GOP members of Congress who think that it is the role of Congress to blindly turn every one of President Donald Trump's executive orders into law. Perhaps they should read Article 1, Section 1 of the Constitution: "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives."

John Oliver Shreds Bari Weiss' Track Record After CBS News Appointment
John Oliver is certainly not a fan of Paramount’s decision to name The Free Press founder Bari Weiss as the new editor-in-chief of CBS News, and on Sunday night, he explained exactly why. The HBO host devoted the main story of “Last Week Tonight” to picking apart Weiss’ reporting track record, which he deemed “irresponsible” at best.
an 3 24
in August of 2023, Politico reported that right-wing billionaire Leonard Leo is "best known as Donald Trump's White House 'court whisperer," having "played a behind-the-scenes role in the nominations of all three of the former president's Supreme Court justices and promoted them through his multi-billion-dollar network of nonprofits."
Caroline Ciccone, president of the watchdog Accountable.US, told Politico "Leo spent years stacking the court with ideological kindred spirits. Now he's funding a dark web of special interest groups to push an extreme agenda."
According to a Monday, March 18 report published by Rolling Stone, the billionaire — "long averse to media attention" — in a recent podcast interview first reported by Accountable.US "spoke about his $1.6 billion dark money fund, called the Marble Freedom Trust, explaining: 'We’re trying to really institute a lot of legal and social change through philanthropy.'"
The conservative activist, according to Rolling Stone, "also offered his thoughts on how billionaires can help conservatives limit regulations, take over corporate C-suites, reshape America’s education system, and influence our culture," and as a "devout Catholic, additionally discussed his interest in reforming religious institutions."
Speaking "with Joe Lonsdale, the co-founder of surveillance company Palantir and the University of Austin, a conservative alternative college he started with journalist Bari Weiss," Rolling Stone notes, Leo said, "It’s really important that we flood the zone with cases that challenge misuse of the Constitution by the administrative state and by Congress," urging "the ultra-wealthy to support these litigation efforts."
Referring to the conservative-majority high court, he emphasized, "We have a great Overton window in the next couple of decades to really try to create a free society. And I think we should take full advantage of it."
Additionally, as a proponent of the effort to establish a publicly funded religious school in Oklahoma, Leo also "talked about the need to reform the clergy," during the interview, saying, "This is one that I just started thinking about, there’s the whole issue of clergy, and this is a tough one to crack. This may not be for everybody, but my own perspective is: God made us to know him, to love him, and to serve him. And I think our religious leaders need to center more on that, and less on knowing, loving, and serving ourselves, and whatever personal desires or affections we may have."
Furthermore on the subject of education, the billionaire added, "We need to create talent pipelines for K-12 education and for higher ed, something like you’re doing with the University of Austin, so that we remind people that the purpose of higher ed, for example, is to basically build a citizenry that’s committed to the Constitution as it was originally written."
Rolling Stone reports "Leo explained this means recruiting teachers and working to influence education board races, 'so that we can begin to have some sanity and local education.'"
