The brutal killing of Charlie Kirk was not an accident. The attempt on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s life was not some random act of madness. The attempted murder of Republican Congressman Steve Scalise and other Republican House members during a supposedly friendly bipartisan baseball game was not a fluke or a one off. Also, let’s not forget the countless attempts on President Trump’s life, which are becoming almost monthly events.
And now, we add another name to the grim progressive Democrat hit list: Brian Thompson, CEO of United Healthcare; a husband and father of two young children. On December 4, 2024, outside the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old radicalized progressive approached the healthcare executive from behind and fired his nine-millimeter handgun several times and slaughtered the healthcare executive execution style in broad daylight.
What we are witnessing is a long simmering epidemic of leftwing political violence that has gone unchecked for far too long. Every one of these incidents are connected with one common thread; a radical fringe faction of Democrats emboldened by rhetoric that excuses, encourages, and effectively endorses political violence. Just days after assassinating Thompson, Mangione was apprehended in Altoona, Pennsylvania, at a McDonalds restaurant; casually sipping his coffee.
It’s simply infuriating, and downright sickening, that despite all these heinous acts, the so-called Democrat leadership, and the legacy media remain systematically silent. Instead of calling out the culture that enables these actions, they obfuscate, minimize, or simply ignore the facts. They soothe their conscience with empty platitudes, while glossing over the ideological roots fueling this murderous faction within their own “big tent party.”
What kind of culture breeds such callous disdain for human life? A culture that weaponizes outrage, painting political opponents as existential threats requiring elimination. A progressive left faction that cultivates an environment where dehumanizing political opponents and the titans of industry is not only tolerated but celebrated. This isn’t activism as many of them claim, its primal savagery disguised in a facade of progressive social justice.
In August 2026, Mangione stood in federal court and pled guilty without hesitation, bluntly admitting “I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan and he died.” No remorse, no excuses, not one iota of repentance, just cold, calculated murder that stemmed from the swamp of Democrat ideological extremism. Mangione’s chilling admission, standing in the courtroom, and coldly stating he killed a man because of who he was and what he represented demands a reckoning. It demands an end to the euphemisms and political correctness that allow this animal to exist in our midst.
The progressive left must finally face the music. Schumer, Jefferies, Mamdani, Bernie, Omar, Pelosi, and every other radical progressive must have the finger pointed directly at them. Their irresponsible rhetoric has created and stirred a cesspool of violence that has spilled onto the streets of our communities, our government leaders, and now America’s corporate leadership. The enablers who claim it’s all exaggerated or a “right wing conspiracy” all have blood on their hands. At some point we must hold accountable not just the perpetrators of these vile acts, but the political ideologues that nurture them.
And to you Luigi Mangione, the now self-admitted assassin of Brian Thompson, a super-max federal prison awaits you. You’ll be housed in a 7x12 foot cage for twenty-three hours a day, seven days a week; and I’m quite sure it will wipe that shit eating smirk off your face. You get to spend the rest of your days writing letters to the blue-haired freaks, while simultaneously dodging rapists and fellow executioners that would love nothing more than to become famous like you; simply for shoving a shank into your kidney.
