Ex-Marine Candidate Under Arrest for Threatening Trump
Posted By: Hazymac, 7/17/2026 2:43:01 PM
A former Marine who attracted attention to his Florida write-in congressional campaign with an explicit assassination threat against Donald Trump is now in handcuffs. The U.S. Department of Justice announced on July 16 the arrest and charging of Jacksonville’s William L. Upham. It is illegal to make an explicit threat against the life of the president of the United States, and that is just what Upham did. Upham already appeared in federal court and is still being detained. He could be looking at five years in federal prison if the feds secure a conviction. Given the three nearly successful attempts on Trump's life already, the feds cannot afford to dismiss

Pakistan's Supreme Court quashed the sentences of three individuals convicted of murdering a Christian man and his pregnant wife — Shahzad Masih (26) and Shama Bibi (24). The couple was burned to death after being thrown into a brick kiln. The incident occurred on Nov. 4, 2014, in Punjab's Kasur District.
Masih and Bibi, who worked as laborers at a local brick factory, were falsely accused of desecrating pages of the Quran.
The brick kiln owner reportedly prevented the couple from fleeing due to a financial dispute. A local Islamic prayer leader used a mosque loudspeaker to incite a crowd against them. A mob of over 1,000 people then converged

Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a powerful public declaration against domestic political terrorism in front of an international audience Thursday in Washington, D.C.
His concept of terrorism got at the heart of what fuels it: radical progressive leftism.
As he put it, radical leftism is "a poisonous resentment cloaked in the language of equality and justice." Moreover, he put his finger on where this ideology comes from, what fuels it, and what protects it: universities, media and the courts.
Domestic radicalism has many roots and branches, but those three institutions make up the primary “radicalism triangle” that is self-reinforcing. Their common output is language and ideology. Radical ideology
What Khanna Can Do

The New York Post has published an unsparing editorial calling out Rep. Ro Khanna for the patently manufactured incident he conducted in order to defame Israel:
Rep. Ro Khanna’s latest showboating stunt is too much even for other Democratic electeds — not only a transparent ploy to get past his all-in bet on the Graham Platner campaign, but a transparently pathetic bid to play victim of those darn Israelis.
Just days after his scorched-earth defense of the Maine Senate candidate failed to stop the implosion, Khanna (D-Calif.) rushed off to the Middle East to change his storyline.
He headed to the West Bank, intentionally directing his entourage into a restricted zone, then pretended
The Scourge of Teen Takeovers

This past Memorial Day, more than 1,000 teens swarmed the blocks around Lake Michigan in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. A resident described the scene: “Hundreds of people were walking and running down our street, jumping on top of cars, twerking, smoking blunts.” One group twerked on the top of a city bus.
At about 9 pm, the Chicago Police Department closed Lake Shore Drive. As sirens wailed, the Hyde Park resident armed himself with bear spray to retrieve something from his car. An hour later, a gunman shot three teens a block from the resident’s home. The suspect remains at large, though police made 13 arrests for illegal gun possession,
I do not often write about movies. In fact, I have not written an essay about one in more than thirty years. (Snip) That film, of course, is Citizen Kane, returning this week for a commemorative limited engagement in theaters across the fruited plain.
Does Citizen Kane live up to the hype? Of course not—not eighty-five years later, at least. But that is precisely the point.
The picture was so different, so audacious, so avant-garde in 1941 that calling it “groundbreaking” understates the case. And because so much of filmmaking since has descended from it—or from films that themselves descended from it—it is easy now to miss the treasure

The week began with Independence Day, and it featured a lot of World Cup action. If you can call anything that happens in soccer action. Europe sweltered under a non-air conditioned heat wave, and the Iran conflict resumed. But what motivated meme-makers more than anything else was the spectacular implosion of the Graham Platner Senate campaign. I suppose because it was so unexpected: who would have imagined that the campaign of a Nazi-tattooed Communist would come to grief?
Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) Let's enjoy a little World Cup humor before we get to the other stuff. This was floating around social media and cracked me up: England and France are the only two Muslim countries left in the World Cup.
We're going to take a quick look at a couple more reasons to enjoy this time we have with a real president in charge, then head off into that good weekend.
I continue to marvel at not only how much President Donald Trump has on his plate, but also at the vigor with which he deals with it all. Yes, it's true that presidents
California Gov. Gavin Newsom wants the national stage, the party microphone, and the 2028 speculation that comes with both.
He's spent years positioning himself as one of President Donald Trump's loudest Democratic opponents. He's told voters that he'll give a 2028 White House run “serious thought” after the midterms.
So when the California governor claims he just doesn't know enough about the Graham Platner collapse in Maine, the answer should be simple: then why are you asking Democrats to treat you like a leader?
Platner, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine, for now anyway, said he would withdraw after being
Welcome, dear readers, to Thursday, July 9, 2026. (Snip) Raise your hand if you still remember the name Andrew Gillum. Don't worry if your hand stayed down. I'm betting the Democrat Party would love for you to forget it, too. Anyway, now your co-workers or your other half would be wondering why your hand was up.
Fasten your seatbelts, kids.
Gillum, the former Mayor of Tallahassee, Fla., ran a genuinely electrifying campaign as the Democratic nominee for Florida governor in 2018, and he pulled off a real upset to win the primary in the first place. Barack Obama endorsed him. High-profile progressives lined up behind him. He came agonizingly close
A suspected illegal immigrant who tried to run down an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Houston on Tuesday morning was shot dead by the agent.
ICE said the incident took place at about 6:50 a.m. Central Time, when ICE agents tried to stop a vehicle “as part of a targeted enforcement operation to arrest an illegal alien,” according to KRIV-TV in Houston.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national who was allegedly in the U.S. illegally, was not cooperative, according to ICE.
“From information we are receiving, he rammed an ICE law enforcement vehicle, refused to follow multiple verbal commands, and weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an ICE

Four years ago, the Senate voted unanimously to ditch the switch and stick with daylight saving time year-round. Nineteen states have passed laws that would make DST permanent, if the federal government would let them. And this week, the House approved the Sunshine Protection Act by a 3-to-1 margin.
But don’t count on it becoming law.
As Politico reports, it “faces an uphill battle in the Senate despite strong lobbying from the White House and personal engagement from President Donald Trump.”
The problem is that enough Senators are likely to be swayed by critics to block it, even though the arguments against the bill are entirely specious.
COVID-19 vaccine injures are so common many of the legislators who pushed them have also been severely injured—but still won't admit it. This culture of silence around these injuries must end.
One of the things which has always fascinated me about the world is how certain invisible laws govern the “spontaneous” events that occur around us (e.g., radioactive decay).(Snip) When the COVID-19 vaccines were initially released, I had a large number of patients immediately show up with “moderate” reactions to the COVID vaccines, with many of them stating something to the effect of: “I have gotten a flu shot for years and I have never experienced anything like this.”
Things just keep getting worse for the Democratic Party, and at this rate, they may need a new metaphor because "keeps getting worse" barely covers it anymore. We already told you the polls are tightening heading into the midterms in November, which was bad enough on its own. Now it turns out the party's situation is so much worse than we already know, and the people running the show apparently don’t want you to know just how bad it really is
In a bizarre move, the Democratic National Committee required its senior leadership to sign non-disclosure agreements before a private meeting on the party's finances, according to
WASHINGTON — Arizona Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, engaged in sexual relationships with at least two House staffers and his “very flirtatious” habits with others may come back to haunt him, The Post has learned.
The 46-year-old lawmaker admitted to the two relationships — both with aides to Texas Democrats — to one source while a second person said they had recently learned of the romantic entanglements.
A third source confirmed one of the dalliances, both of which are said to have been consensual and occurred during Gallego’s decade representing Phoenix in the House.
In 2025, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) delivered a ruling that may prove to be one of the most consequential legal interventions in modern environmental politics. It declared that states have a binding legal obligation under international law to prevent climate change, mitigate its impacts and avoid conduct that harms the environment. This was not merely symbolic. The court effectively transformed climate policy from a matter of political discretion into one of legal duty. Governments are now expected not only to regulate greenhouse gas emissions but to do so under the shadow of potential legal liability. Most significantly,
An imam from Texas named Omar Suleiman who has led prayers before Congress is facing a formal rebuke over horrible comments he made, celebrating the news of the death of Senator Lindsey Graham.
Celebrating the death of Republicans has become commonplace on the left. We saw the exact same thing play out following the death of Charlie Kirk.
They don’t even try to hide it. They gleefully celebrate the death of their political adversaries openly on social media, then often act surprised when others react to them with disgust, or if there are consequences.
This case is especially repulsive, given that this is supposedly a man of God.

Authorities recently discovered a “white crystal-like substance” in a work van belonging to Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, an illegal immigrant who was fatally shot by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Houston last week and who has been hailed by the media as a father chasing the “American dream.”
There has been intense outrage surrounding the incident, especially amid the broader unrest regarding U.S. immigration enforcement under the Trump administration.
Media outlets have touted Salgado Araujo as a father of four who, having entered the country 35 years ago in search of a better life, was actively pursuing legal status in the U.S.
However,
In a highly-anticipated primetime speech Thursday night, President Donald Trump announced "the immediate declassification and release of critical intelligence revealing shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure," including evidence of "China’s illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files" in the 2020 election, and a DHS evaluation of state voter rolls and public records revealed that 278,000 non-citizens are registered to vote in federal elections.
Those documents have all been posted to the White House's website.

It turns out that the “conspiracy theorists” weren’t so crazy after all. President Donald Trump says that foreign governments and corrupt domestic bureaucrats have so compromised our election system across the country that it is worse than a Third World banana republic.
“No country could be great without fair and honest elections,” Trump insisted during his Thursday night primetime address. “You have to trust your country because if there can be no trust, there can be no greatness, and that's very simple: no trust, no greatness.” Unfortunately, according to him, between our enemies around the world like the Chinese and Iranian regimes and their collaborators in the American media and
JPMorgan Chase Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon is validating the growing frustration of working-class Americans, admitting in a recent interview that he completely understands why man The Wall Street billionaire argued that decades of ineffective public policies have left lower-income families behind in struggling rural areas and inner cities, forcing them to navigate failing schools and rising crime while wealthy elites remain insulated from those problems. "The anti-rich thing has been around a long time, and I do understand it because I think, separate the two pieces, the piece that's really important is that we have, in fact, left the lower-income folks behind," Dimon told Axios.
For many months now, I’ve been on a “National Security Emergency” crusade.
While Republicans in the House and Senate, and conservative activists like Scott Pressler (who means well) have been pushing the SAVE Act 24/7, I’ve been pushing something a thousand times better…
A “National Security Emergency for Elections.”
This “National Security Emergency” invention was created by me, with assistance from my election security expert, John Goodman.
This idea is like comparing a tiny 1% tax cut to Ronald Reagan’s massive, record-setting, income tax act of 1981, which cut income tax rates from 70% to 28%.
There is no comparison.
Don’t get me wrong.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) has admitted that Republicans may have found a real problem. Washington remains standing, the sun rose on schedule, and no trumpet has sounded from the heavens, but the moment still feels unusual.
Blumenthal said Republicans are “rightly concerned” about a possible breach of Justice Department norms and improper access to communications gathered during former special counsel Jack Smith's investigation of President Donald Trump. From Fox News:
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told Fox News Digital his Republican colleagues are right to be troubled that the Justice Department spied on lawmakers to aid former special counsel Jack Smith’s investigations.
