MS NOW Reporter’s ‘Insane Take’ on Ambush of National Guard Prompts Furious Response

/

MS NOW correspondent Ken Dilanian is facing strong criticism after comments he made while covering the shooting that critically injured two National Guardsmen near the White House on Wednesday.

Dilanian, who serves as a justice and intelligence correspondent for the network, offered his assessment of the incident during a breaking news segment.

“But of course, you know, there’s so much controversy happening in the United States right now with ICE, who are also wearing uniforms and wearing masks. And so there’s, you don’t know, people walking around with uniforms in an American city. There are some Americans that might object to that. And so apparently this shooting has happened,” Dilanian said on-air.

Law enforcement officials described the shooting as a targeted “ambush” that left two Guardsmen in critical condition.

One of the victims was believed to have been shot in the head.

Dilanian’s remarks prompted immediate backlash online, where users accused him of minimizing the seriousness of the attack.

“You do realize two people were murdered? Surely you know this,” one user wrote on X.

“Leave it to MS FakeNews to victim blame,” another posted.

“This is an insane take and no pushback. You can’t hate the media enough,” one comment read.

“A day before Thanksgiving, two families have lost their loved ones. How dare you say this?” another user wrote.

Following the attack, President Donald Trump ordered 500 additional National Guard troops to Washington, D.C.

More than 2,000 Guard members were already stationed in the city at the time.

Metro Police Department executive assistant chief Jeffery Carroll said at a press conference that the suspect approached the Guardsmen near 17th and I Street at approximately 2:15 p.m.

The location is only a few blocks from the White House.

Carroll said the suspect opened fire on the pair before other Guard members engaged in “some back and forth” with him.

The suspect, who was nearly nude, was wounded and taken into custody.

Authorities said the gunman acted alone.

Officials are not searching for additional suspects.

The individual taken into custody was transferred to federal authorities but is reportedly not cooperating with investigators.

The shooting remains under investigation.

New York Times Torched Over Framing Identity Stealing Illegal Alien as a Victim

/

A New York Times report examining the identity theft committed by a Guatemalan national living in the United States unlawfully drew immediate criticism this week after federal officials and public figures pushed back on the newspaper’s framing of the case.

The article compared the experiences of Romeo Perez-Bravo, an illegal alien who used stolen identification records to obtain work in the Midwest, and Dan Kluver, the U.S. citizen whose Social Security information was taken.

According to the Times, Kluver was left with thousands of dollars in tax debts because Perez-Bravo had been working under his information.

The report described identity theft as an “unfortunate feature” of the current employment system and characterized the use of fraudulent or stolen Social Security numbers as a “survival tactic” for illegal immigrants seeking jobs.

The Times cited government estimates that as many as one million undocumented workers are using fraudulent or stolen numbers to pass background checks.

According to the report, such numbers are often acquired through data breaches, sold online for about $150, or distributed in border towns by human smugglers.

The publication noted that many of the stolen identities belong to U.S. citizen children, deceased individuals, or Puerto Ricans whose Social Security information circulates widely on the mainland.

The article sparked strong reactions online, including from the Department of Homeland Security, which publicly addressed the criminal history of Perez-Bravo.

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin responded to the coverage and identified the individual involved.

“The violent criminal illegal alien who stole Daniel Kulver’s identity is Guatemalan National Romeo Perez Bravo,” McLaughlin said.

McLaughlin outlined a series of criminal convictions on Perez-Bravo’s record, including offenses for terroristic threats, assault, and four convictions for driving under the influence.

“He reentered the U.S. a third time after being removed, which is a felony,” she added. McLaughlin also emphasized the consequences of identity theft, saying, “Behind every stolen Social Security number is a real American: mothers, fathers, students, and workers facing devastating financial, personal and legal fallout.”

The Times reported that Perez-Bravo had also been involved in a traffic accident that resulted in the death of a 68-year-old grandfather.

Public figures from across the political landscape responded strongly to the article.

Political consultant Steve Cortes wrote that “An illegal alien was using the stolen identity of an American citizen — and the disgusting New York Times writes this story … as if they are BOTH victims.”

Ohio State Rep. Josh Williams echoed similar concerns. “This is just a completely infuriating story,” Williams said.

“When you see Democrats fight back against mass deportations to the extent they have, think about men like Daniel Kluver, who have had their shot at the American Dream turned upside down because of the left’s desire to protect illegals over Americans.”

Other critiques focused on the paper’s framing of Perez-Bravo’s actions.

“One selfish man destroyed another man’s life, killed a grandpa, and sent a young girl to the hospital. It’s incredible to see how hard you strain to varnish over this ugly story,” one response said.

The Project for Immigration Reform also issued a statement reacting to the article.

“The worst part of this article is how the @nytimes tries to paint a sympathetic story about the illegal alien. He was involved in a fatal crash and handed over the identity of the American whose name he’d stolen. The actual victim of the ID theft ended up getting sued for it,” the organization wrote.

‘Stephen Miller just went NUCLEAR on the “SEDITIOUS SIX”… STRAIGHT OUT of the CIA’S PLAYBOOK’

/

Jesse Watters asked White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller on Fox News what consequences should follow for the six Democratic lawmakers who appeared in a video urging military and intelligence personnel to “refuse illegal orders.”

Miller said their actions constituted a serious breach and should be handled under federal law and military justice codes.

Watters opened the segment by asking, “Mr. Miller, what should happen to the seditious six?”

Miller responded that the conduct shown in the video amounted to a coordinated effort aimed directly at CIA officers and military personnel.

“Well, they should be held accountable under the law and under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for a seditious conspiracy against the United States of America,” Miller said.

“This is completely open and shut straightforward.”

Miller questioned why the group of lawmakers — each with either CIA or military experience — would produce and distribute a video urging personnel to evaluate the legality of orders on their own rather than through established procedures.

“Why would six members of Congress selecting specifically for individuals with a CIA or military background record, a carefully written, carefully produced, slickly edited video messaging directly to members of our clandestine services and our armed forces, telling them to disobey orders from their superiors, telling them that they should individually determine whether an order is legal or illegal and defy it,” Miller said.

Miller noted that the duties carried out by the CIA and the Armed Forces involve high-stakes decision-making.

“The CIA engages in covert missions all over the world involving life and death decisions. The Armed Forces launches life taking missions time and time again. They carry weapons. They control drones, they control missiles, they work on nuclear submarines,” he said.

He argued that introducing doubt within the chain of command creates instability inside institutions that depend on strict operational discipline.

According to Miller, the message was designed to encourage internal revolt.

“For what purpose would you ever deliver this message? As you said, it’s to create a color revolution. It is the CIA playbook for trying to foment insurrection from within the military and within the CIA,” he said.

Miller referenced reactions inside the military after the killing of activist Charlie Kirk earlier this year, saying it pointed to a larger concern.

“Look we saw after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, Jesse members of the Armed Forces openly celebrating his murder,” he said.

“So think about that for a second. You have people in the armed forces. It could be a tiny, tiny percentage, but who celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk and then now they’re getting a message from Kelly and from other members of Congress saying, defy your commanders, rise up and defy your superiors.”

He said the rhetoric is dangerous when directed toward individuals with access to weapons and classified operations.

“That kind of language will get people killed. It endangers our national security. It is dangerously radicalizing, and it has all of the evidence of willfulness and intent,” Miller said.

He also pointed to the lawmakers’ public interviews following release of the video.

“And when they go on TV and they say, We can’t name what order is illegal, that proves the point. It was never about the law. It was breaking down the chain of command,” he said.

Miller broadened his criticism to the Democratic Party as a whole. “The Democrat Party is openly engaged every day in trying to tear down democracy, whether it be judges who are binding the President with unlawful orders, releasing violent criminals back onto the street, trying to cement and protect the illegal alien invasion of America and now fomenting rebellion inside the ranks of our armed forces and CIA,” he said.

Iowa Democrat Caught Red-Handed, Her Campaign Persona Unravels in Real Time

/

Iowa Democrat Christina Bohannan has centered her congressional campaign messaging on having a working-class background and knowing what it means “to struggle to put food on the table.”

Her financial disclosures and property records show significant assets, including high-value real estate in Iowa and Florida, as well as substantial stock holdings.

At the Iowa State Fair, Bohannan told a crowd, “You know, I know what it’s like to work so hard and to, to still struggle to put food on the table.”

In multiple campaigns for the same House seat, she has described growing up in a trailer park and facing choices “between putting groceries in the cart and filling prescription drugs.”

Iowa Public Radio reported she reiterated that “she knows what it’s like to struggle.”

Real estate and financial filings provide details that differ from the image she presents on the campaign trail.

In June, Bohannan purchased University of Iowa basketball coach Fran McCaffery’s $1.55 million home in Iowa City.

Records also show she has long owned a waterfront condo in a gated Sarasota, Florida community where properties range from about $300,000 to more than $1 million and require several thousand dollars in annual fees.

Her financial disclosures indicate the Florida condo has produced as much as $50,000 per year in rental income.

Bohannan’s filings also report that she and her husband hold six-figure amounts in individual technology stocks, including Apple, Alphabet, and Meta.

The investments remain in place despite her “ETHICS PLAN” proposal calling for members of Congress to halt stock trading while serving.

Fox News Digital contacted Bohannan for comment but did not receive a response before publication.

Bohannan is running against Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks in Iowa’s 1st Congressional District.

Earlier in the month, Bohannan attempted to criticize Miller-Meeks over what she described as her opponent’s “true values,” posting a photo of the congresswoman seated in first class on a plane “as her constituents suffer from Trump’s policies.”

“This photo tells you more about Miller-Meeks’ true values than her entire town hall did,” Bohannan wrote in the post containing the image.

The criticism prompted a response from district supervisor Austin Hayek, who pointed to Bohannan’s recent home purchase.

“Christina Bohannan is concerned with 1st class – weird since she just bought a $1.55 million dollar home,” Hayek wrote.

“Seems she’s wanting others to share the wealth, but not herself and she cares more about her personal living than the ‘poor.’ Stop the virtue signally.”

Eric Swalwell Pushes a Wild Telephone Voting Plan to ‘Max Out Democracy’

/

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell said Saturday that he wants Californians to be able to vote by phone, outlining the proposal during an appearance on CNN as part of his newly announced campaign for governor.

Swalwell entered the race Thursday during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” joining a field that includes former Rep. Katie Porter and former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra.

Speaking with “The Story Is” host Elex Michaelson, Swalwell said he intends to “modernize” state government if elected.

“I want us to be able to vote by phone. I think every California— ” he began, before Michaelson asked, “Vote by phone?”

“Vote by phone, yeah. If we can do our taxes … make our health care appointments, you know, make, essentially your — do your banking online,” Swalwell said.

“You should be able to vote by phone. Make it safe, make it secure. But it’s actually already happening all over the United States. I want us to be a blue state that doesn’t do just a little bit better than like Georgia or Alabama when it comes to like voting access, I want us to max out democracy.”

Swalwell outlined additional changes to in-person voting. He said counties should face penalties when voting lines exceed a set limit.

“As it relates to democracy, if you wait in line for 30 minutes or more, if you do want to vote in person, I think you should fine every county for every minute that a person has to wait longer,” he said.

“We have to be better, not just a little bit better than the other states.”

Swalwell’s comments come as he launches his gubernatorial bid after serving multiple terms in the U.S. House.

His candidacy places him among several prominent California Democrats seeking the governorship.

Swalwell has faced scrutiny in the past over his interactions with Christine Fang, who reportedly worked with the Ministry of State Security of the People’s Republic of China.

Fang was said to have developed ties with several local and national political figures. Swalwell has denied any wrongdoing in his relationship with Fang.

On Jan. 24, 2023, then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy removed him from the House Intelligence Committee, citing the reported relationship.

California Sheriff Says State’s Elections Are ‘Completely Rigged’ to Keep Dems in Power

California Sheriff Says State’s Elections Are ‘Completely Rigged’ to Keep Dems in Power

/

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, who is seeking the Republican nomination for governor of California, said during an interview with Fox News’ Lara Trump that the state’s election system is “completely rigged” to maintain Democratic control.

Bianco made the comments as he criticized recent statewide changes to congressional districts approved under Proposition 50.

“Our election process has been rigged to keep the Democrat Party in power, honestly, since the 60s. And every 20 years, people get so fed up with it, they elect a Republican governor. And that’s where we are right now,” Bianco said.

Proposition 50, introduced by Governor Gavin Newsom, drew sharp criticism from Republicans after voters approved the measure.

The plan redraws five congressional seats currently held by Republicans. National Democratic groups and senior party figures, including former President Barack Obama, publicly backed the measure during the campaign.

Republicans have argued that the new maps differ significantly from those created by the state’s independent redistricting commission, which voters approved in an earlier reform effort.

Under the commission’s maps, Republicans controlled 17 percent of California’s congressional districts even though 40 percent of voters supported President Donald Trump in the election.

Under new maps in Texas — which Newsom said Proposition 50 was intended to counter — Democrats will control 21 percent of congressional seats after receiving 42 percent of the vote.

Bianco said the issue extends beyond political strategy.

“The gerrymandering, districting, really, for me, being at the head of law enforcement, the leader of law enforcement, the Constitution and the constitutional rights of Californians actually matter. And our current government, they despise both the state constitution and the federal constitution,” he told Fox News.

“So this gerrymandering of this election to keep them in power, it made no sense. We know that there was a lot of dishonesty in the advertising. I think it’s going to backfire on what they did here because it’s one more nail in the coffin of we’re tired of being lied to.”

Bianco enters the race at a time when Republicans face long odds in a state dominated by Democrats.

However, new polling suggests that voter concerns about cost of living, homelessness, and other issues could make the race more competitive than in previous cycles.

A UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll released earlier this month showed Rep. Katie Porter, considered the Democratic frontrunner early in the race, losing support following several widely reported public outbursts and allegations of verbal mistreatment of staff.

The poll indicated that Porter now trails Bianco, though the survey also showed that nearly half of California voters have not yet chosen a candidate.

“She’s the leading Democrat among the various ones that are in there right now,” said poll director Mark DiCamillo.

“But it’s because nobody really on the Democratic side has really jumped out of the pack. It’s kind of a political vacuum at the moment.”

Senate Majority Whip Calls Out Dems ‘Politics of Pain’ Strategy to Undermine Trump

/

Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso appeared on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” to discuss recent public statements from several Democratic officials urging U.S. military personnel to refuse what they described as illegal orders.

The remarks, some made by former intelligence officials, were directed at the Trump administration’s use of troops, primarily National Guard units, in efforts to address crime in multiple cities.

Host Maria Bartiromo asked Barrasso, “What is your reaction to your colleagues on the left, telling U.S. military members to ignore President Trump’s directive?”

Barrasso responded, “Well, what they’re doing is wrong, and I believe it’s dangerous. Maria, they have no right to tell members of the military to disobey — we’re talking about active duty military — to disobey orders from their commanding officers. That’s the way the military works. And it’s up to the Supreme Court to decide what’s constitutional, not six Democrats on social media. I think the president is absolutely right to be requiring and talking about legal responsibility and then being held accountable. These are the same Democrats who have been doing everything they can for the last ten months to undermine President Trump, undermine the Republican party and our efforts, every one of them voted to raise taxes by $4 trillion, every one of them voted for the shutdown, and kept our country shut down and caused significant pain to the American people.”

The exchange followed public comments from multiple Democrats, including Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, who previously worked for the CIA.

Slotkin said during an appearance on ABC News that service members have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders, a principle taught in military training.

Slotkin also referenced historical examples and cultural references during her discussion.

She acknowledged that the president had not issued any illegal orders.

The remarks from Democratic members of Congress were framed around the administration’s deployment of troops to assist with law enforcement-related operations.

The statements drew responses from Republican lawmakers who questioned the implications of advising service members on how to interpret orders.

Concerns raised in the discussion included the potential effect of publicly encouraging troops to determine on their own whether an order is lawful.

The issue touched on the process by which the legality of military orders is evaluated, including the role of courts and the military chain of command.

Barrasso emphasized that constitutional questions are decided through the judicial system and not by individual lawmakers making public declarations.

He tied the comments to broader partisan disputes over the past several months, including legislative actions on taxes and federal spending.

The topic continues to draw discussion from both parties as debates over the appropriate use of federal troops, the legal framework governing military orders, and public commentary from elected officials remain active in Washington.

Ex-CIA Officer Says Dem Senator Slotkin Ran ‘Propaganda Op’ Aimed at FBI and Military

Ex-CIA Officer Says Dem Senator Slotkin Ran ‘Propaganda Op’ Aimed at FBI and Military

/

A recent video released by Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin is drawing strong criticism after former CIA operations officer Bryan Dean Wright and Fox News host Jesse Watters described it as a coordinated propaganda effort directed at members of the FBI, CIA, and U.S. military.

The segment aired on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime,” where the two discussed the message of the video and the implications for its intended audience.

Watters opened the discussion by asking, “Host of the Wright Report podcast, all right, Brian, these Democrats is this seditious what they’re doing,” prompting Wright to explain why he viewed the video as deliberate and calculated.

Wright said, “It is. And look, we need to be very, very clear about Slotkin and who she is, so she knew what she was doing when she put that together. As a former CIA operations officer, my job was to go out in the field and collect the Intel conduct the operation. Her job as an analyst was to figure out whether or not things like propaganda operations were successful, if they were effective.”

He said Slotkin’s background provided her with the skills needed to structure a targeted messaging campaign.

Wright said, “So she has seen her fair share of propaganda operations, and she knows how to pull those off and make them effective. So if you think about it through that lens, if you watch the video again, one of the first things that she and the others do is they establish credibility and authority. They talk about who they are, working for the CIA and working for the military.”

Wright outlined what he said were multiple stages of the messaging campaign.

He described the next stage by saying, “They then move into the next phase of the propaganda message, which is, there’s a crisis. They create a crisis for the listeners inside the FBI and the CIA and the military. And they say that there is a threat, not just abroad, like we might face with face with China or Russia or al Qaeda, but inside of the country, the threat is here. Who’s that threat? Donald Trump.”

He said the video then introduced a call to action.

“Then they provide the solution as part of their propaganda campaign, which is, rise up, say no,” Wright said.

He pointed to what he described as subtle messaging designed to create plausible deniability while still urging action.

“Now, key parts of propaganda campaigns, as you say, a little bit of face saving measure, something a little wink, a little nudge, to just give somebody a little bit of a fig leaf, which is but make your opposition towards an unlawful order, right? So that’s the fig leaf.”

Wright continued by saying Slotkin knew the impact of the structure she used.

“The point is, Miss Slotkin knew exactly what she was putting together with her little propaganda video. Now, whether the others were also seditious with her. I don’t know, but she knew, because she and I both work the agency. We both know propaganda ops, and that’s exactly what her video was all about.”

Watters responded to Wright’s description by saying, “So they’re saying, you know, I’m not saying that they need to, like, rise up against the Commander in Chief. All we’re saying is, I’m saying Don’t disobey an illegal order.”

Wright said that framing is intentional.

“Yeah, well, that’s exactly what a CIA officer who was putting their propaganda operation would do if you’re going to put a message out into the world, it’s not going to openly call for a seditious or an unlawful order. You’re going to see that information and then give it a little bit of a wink and a nudge, which is precisely what Slotkin did here,” he said.

“So the cover, the disguise, of course, was to say, Oh, it’s just unlawful orders that we need to know about. The game here, of course, is that there was no unlawful order, nor has there been.”

Watters later asked Wright, “Do you predict there’s gonna be additional subversive operations? Is this like just the beginning?”

Wright referenced a past statement from Senate leadership.

“Oh, yeah. 2017 Chuck Schumer said, didn’t he on MSNBC, the US intel community has six ways from Sunday getting back at you. So Schumer and others on Capitol Hill have known this. The Democrat Party has known this and versus condemn it. What they’re doing 10 years ago was celebrate it because it was against Donald Trump, and now they got one of their own Miss lock it. So she’s continuing the same thing that Schumer highlighted about 10 years ago. So it really is a seditious movement.”

Watters closed the segment by saying, “Yeah, we’ll be all over it. It’s it’s nasty, but we caught him. Great to see you. Have a great weekend.”

Minneapolis Police Chief Apologizes After Blaming Crime on ‘East African Kids’

/

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara issued an apology Thursday at a press conference following comments he made during a Nov. 11 interview in which he referred to “groups of East African kids” while discussing ongoing crime investigations.

The remarks were made to local station WCCO as O’Hara provided updates on an Oct. 31 homicide case.

A petition on Change.org calling for an apology collected 629 signatures.

Before O’Hara spoke at the press conference, two Somali community leaders made remarks through interpreters.

O’Hara addressed his relationship with the Somali community during his statement.

“The Somali community here in Minneapolis has been welcoming and has shown love towards me, and I appreciate it,” he said.

“Over the last three years we have been working together to try and address some of the real serious problems that we have in our community.”

He later added, “We have to be honest at times with the problems that we’re having in our community, and we need our community to help us fix those problems together because it’s real and it’s serious. At the same time, if people have taken anything that I have said out of context in a way that’s caused harm, I apologize, and I’m sorry for that because that’s not my intention at all.”

During the Nov. 11 interview, O’Hara told WCCO that gang activity was part of the issue, along with the fact that many individuals involved in crimes such as vandalism and carjacking were not Minneapolis residents.

He also said lenient prosecutorial and judicial practices in the city have made crime response more difficult, according to Alpha News.

O’Hara said, “They aren’t the poor kids from Minneapolis that are our residents, these are kids coming down in mommy’s Mercedes-Benz to Dinkytown, and they don’t know where they are.”

He noted that the person killed in the Oct. 31 shooting, as well as one of the individuals wounded, were not from Minneapolis.

In the Nov. 11 interview, O’Hara stated, “Groups of kids, groups of East African kids that are coming from surrounding communities and not just one community, kind of all over the place.”

The press conference came shortly after another high-profile incident in the city.

Democratic City Councilman Jamal Osman was carjacked on Nov. 10, one day after winning reelection on a platform focused on “restorative justice” and “violence prevention programs.”

Authorities continue to investigate that carjacking and other recent cases involving juveniles and groups operating in areas such as Dinkytown and surrounding neighborhoods.

Trump Responds to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Resignation from Congress

/

President Donald Trump said he was not informed in advance about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s plan to leave office on January 5, 2026, and indicated he does not intend to speak with her following the announcement.

“Nah, it doesn’t matter, you know? But I think it’s great,” Trump said.

“I think she should be happy.”

Greene, a Republican from Georgia and once one of Trump’s most vocal supporters, had recently clashed with the president over documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and disagreed with him on several policy positions.

BEDMINSTER, JULY 31, 2022: Tucker Carlson (C) jokes with former President Trump (R) at the 16th Throne during the latest LIV golf tournament held at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

The disagreements led to escalating tensions between the two.

Last week, Trump withdrew his endorsement of Greene and called for her to face a primary challenge ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

He signaled that he would support her opponent in that race.

In her resignation letter, Greene wrote, “I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms.”

She added, “It’s all so absurd and completely unserious. I refuse to be a ‘battered wife’ hoping it all goes away and gets better.”

Greene’s planned departure will change the House’s narrow margin.

The chamber currently has 219 Republicans and 213 Democrats.

According to a source speaking to NBC News, House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana was not given advance notice of Greene’s decision to resign.

Greene had previously attempted to remove Johnson from his leadership role last year.

A House GOP aide described Greene’s resignation plan to the New York Post as a “vindictive” effort intended to “f**k” over the Republican majority.
