LGBTQIA+ activist called for Trump to be assassinated and for harassment of his attorney, feds say



A podcaster based in Los Angeles called repeatedly for the president to be assassinated and told his followers to harass the president's personal lawyer and his family, prosecutors say.

40-year-old Benjamin Azariah Southworth was arrested Thursday and charged with one count of threats against the president, one count of cyberstalking, and one count of harassing telephone calls in interstate communications.

'Kill Donald Trump. Kill that motherf**king pedophile in the White House.'

Southworth allegedly made the comments on several social media platforms including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and his own website from January through May this year.

Court documents said one of the posts was made at Instagram on March 31.

"Since the Supreme Court has ruled today that psychological, spiritual, emotional and physical torture known as gay conversion therapy is free speech, I want to practice my free speech as a survivor of conversion therapy for five years," the message read.

"Kill Donald Trump. Kill that motherf**king pedophile in the White House," the message continued.

"I have been vocal in calling for the execution of Donald Trump" read another message documented in the court filing. "This government is illegitimate and out of control. It's time for course correction. Kill Donald Trump."

In addition to calling for Trump's death several times, he posted the personal information of his attorney Jay Sekulow in order to have his followers harass him.

"No peace for traitors," Southworth allegedly stated at the time.

Southworth described himself as a "GLAAD-award-nominated artivist" on his website, which also said he used his platform to challenge "Christian nationalism, anti‑LGBTQIA+ bigotry, and Zionism."

A Blaze News request for comment to Sekulow was not immediately returned.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said in a statement that there would be "zero tolerance" for such threats, especially against the president.

"Threatening an elected official with violence is a serious offense, and you will be arrested and charged, as Mr. Southworth found out this morning."

Florida 13-year-old arrested after photos of gun, written death threat sent over social media: Cops



A Florida 13-year-old male was arrested after photos of a gun and a written death threat were sent over social media, authorities said Thursday.

Deputies with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office began investigating the incident on July 7 after the victim’s mother called 911 to report the threat to law enforcement, authorities said.

‘I want to remind parents to stay engaged in what their kids are doing online and who they’re talking to.’

The victim, also 13, received several Instagram messages earlier in the day from the suspect that included a photo of the suspect holding a handgun as well as a written message that read, “Tn 8:00 pm we be there we alr got lo,” which translates to, “Tonight 8:00 pm we be there we already got location,” authorities said.

The victim told deputies he believed the suspect planned to show up at his home and shoot him at 8 p.m. that night, authorities said.

The suspect later told deputies that he and the victim used to be friends but had a falling-out, authorities said, adding that the suspect also stated that he had messaged the victim that day, and they were planning to fight.

Deputies arrested the suspect and transported him to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, where he was later transferred to the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, authorities said.

“Threats are no joke, and we take every threat seriously. This teen had already made plans to fight the victim, and he made it clear it wasn’t going to be a fistfight,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “I want to remind parents to stay engaged in what their kids are doing online and who they’re talking to. Teach them the proper way of handling disagreements and be the sheriff of your home.”

Blaze News has reported extensively on similar arrests in Florida recently:

  • In May, a 12-year-old girl was accused of threatening to "shoot up" an elementary school and threatening a teacher.
  • An 11-year-old boy who was arrested in March for making a death threat was charged with the same crime in October, officials said.
  • Also in March, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office arrested a 10-year-old boy and perp-walked him on camera after officials said he threatened to bring a gun to his elementary school and left a kill list in his classroom.
  • In February, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office said officers arrested a 12-year-old girl after she posted online a "detailed manifesto" about carrying out a mass shooting at a middle school due to bullying.
  • Also in February, a pair of 15-year-olds were arrested after being accused of threatening to shoot up high schools, police said.
  • In late October, an 11-year-old girl was arrested after writing a "kill list" at her desk at school, police said. Then just two weeks later, an 11-year-old boy from the same school district was arrested after allegedly creating a "kill list" at school, police said.
  • Also in October, a Florida sheriff's office came under fire for posting a 9-year-old male's mug shot on Facebook after his felony arrest for allegedly bringing a knife into his elementary school.
  • Just a week prior, that same sheriff's office said a 10-year-old was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, a third-degree felony, after bringing a pocketknife to school and threatening another student. The sheriff's office posted the suspect's name and mug shot.

Journalist exposes explosive insider details of SCOTUS meltdown that almost killed Dobbs: ‘The walls were shaking’



Mollie Hemingway is the editor in chief at the Federalist and is known for her in-depth reporting on the Supreme Court.

On a recent episode of “Relatable” with Allie Beth Stuckey, Hemingway shared insider information about the wild circumstances leading up to the Dobbs decision — the landmark U.S. case that overturned Roe v. Wade and pushed abortion back to the states — including the Supreme Court justice who threw an epic tantrum behind closed doors.

“Everyone knew that [Roe v. Wade] was a problem. Everyone knew from the moment it was decided,” Hemingway says. “Even people on the left admitted this case, this decision isn’t even trying to be constitutional law. ... But then because the left so greatly wanted to believe that they had a right to kill unborn children, they just moved heaven and earth to keep that decision, even when it shouldn't have really been lasting for one year, much less 50 years.”

When the Court finally decided to hear the long overdue case, five justices were in favor of overturning the ruling. Justice Samuel Alito was assigned by Clarence Thomas to write the majority opinion.

What Alito produced was a “masterpiece work” — so much so that the dissenting judges were “shocked by how exhaustive it was.”

“There was no argument left standing,” Hemingway says.

Three months after the initial distribution, however, Alito’s draft opinion was infamously leaked, igniting a furious uproar among the left.

“We know that immediately the justices faced death threats, serious threats on their lives. They all had to be moved or be under a great deal of protection, increase their security posture,” Hemingway says, “because if any one of them had been killed ... that would have meant that the Dobbs decision would not have been handed down in the way it was. There would no longer have been a majority there.”

Allie and Hemingway speculate that this could have been the sinister intention of the leaker — to either get a justice killed or “gin up” enough outrage to pressure the weaker judges to join the dissent and eliminate the majority.

But none of the majority justices relented, despite the threats on their lives.

After the leak and the subsequent threats, the dissenting justices still hadn’t written their dissent.

“They were delaying the dissemination of this,” Hemingway says.

This was problematic because the majority justices were facing death threats.

“Alito asks if they can wrap it up because left-wing activists have a motivation to kill them, and that’s a concern to the conservative justices, and they wouldn’t,” Hemingway recounts.

Justice Neil Gorsuch requested that the dissenting justices at least give them a date by which they’d have their dissent complete, but they refused.

Justice Stephen Breyer, however, while on the dissenting side, was “the person most likely” to write an opinion that would expedite the process, Hemingway says, because “he was a decent, nice guy who cared about his colleagues.”

“According to my sources, Kagan goes to his chambers and screams at him not to in any way accommodate this request. As one person put it, ‘The walls were shaking,’” Hemingway shares.

Eventually, the dissenting justices relented and agreed to have their dissent ready by June 1.

“Meaning that the [concurring] justices would only have their lives threatened on a continuous day-to-day basis for one month,” Hemingway says.

However, when they finally delivered their dissent, they included a “totally unnecessary” reference to “a New York State rifle decision.”

“So they put that in there just so that they could delay it even further,” Hemingway says, noting that the final Dobbs decision wasn’t released until June 24.

“This is day-to-day attacks on these justices’ lives. You have Amy Coney Barrett having to put on a bulletproof vest in front of her children. You have justices being moved to secure locations or having to greatly increase their security fencing,” she continues, “and it seemed to the justices and their staff that the left-wing justices really didn’t care about what they were going through.”

Dad rushes home to protect child, pregnant wife from unhinged male screaming death threats at door, demanding it be opened



A Northern California father rushed home to protect his 5-year-old child and pregnant wife from a male stranger who was caught on the Fairfield home's doorbell camera screaming death threats and demanding that the homeowner open the door.

Video from last Tuesday's terrifying incident shows the male standing on the porch of the home in the 1700 block of Burbank Court in Fairfield and talking to the homeowner through a Ring doorbell camera and demanding entry, KTVU-TV reported.

'Open the door. This is my neighborhood. ... Now. Or I'll f**king end you. Do you understand me?'

Fairfield is about 45 minutes southwest of Sacramento.

"I just want to make sure that everything's OK," the man is heard saying, the station reported. "There seems to be something going on."

"What do you mean?" the homeowner replied while repeatedly asking the male to leave.

The homeowner had just left his residence minutes before, KTVU said. However, he was able to observe and talk to the male stranger — and immediately returned home, police said.

Things only got scarier.

The male is seen on video kicking the door and shouting, "Where's your daughter? Who's in there with you? Open this f**king door, or I'm breaking it down!" KTVU said.

Things also got downright bizarre.

At one point, the male identified himself as a fictional wizard and private investigator from an urban fantasy series, the station said.

"My name is Harry Dresden, motherf**ker," the male is heard saying on camera. "Open the door. This is my neighborhood. ... Now. Or I will f**king end you. Do you understand me?"

Soon the male pulled down a decorative doorbell, repeatedly bashed the door with it, and continued to demand to be let inside "or I'll f**king kill you," KTVU said.

All the while, the homeowner's pregnant wife and 5-year-old child were inside the home, but they managed to hide in the garage, the station said.

Unable to get in through the front door, the male stranger soon broke a gate and entered the home through a sliding glass door, KTVU reported.

Video from inside the home shows the intruder moving through rooms and yelling, "Where the f**k is she?" the station said.

But soon the homeowner is seen on video back inside his residence — and armed with a shovel. KTVU said that while video doesn't show the physical altercation between the homeowner and the intruder, a commotion can be heard.

The homeowner is heard telling the intruder, "I'm giving you a chance — get the f**k out of my house," the station reported.

Authorities confirmed to KTVU that a physical confrontation occurred between the intruder and the homeowner, and both sustained head injuries.

Arriving officers found the intruder outside the home, and the station said he was taken to NorthBay Medical Center for treatment and later booked into the Solano County Jail.

Police said they "want to recognize the actions of the homeowner, who worked to protect his family while officers were responding to the scene."

Jason Nichols, 30, was arrested on suspicion of burglary, vandalism, and making criminal threats, KTVU reported, adding that police on Monday added a charge of annoying or molesting a child.

The station said that during Nichols' court appearance Monday, he seemed to take issue with some of the charges as Superior Court Judge William Pendergast read the complaint.

Nichols did not enter a plea, KTVU reported.

Authorities would not say if Nichols was targeting any child related to the homeowner, the station said, but they did say Nichols lives behind the family's home, although the family does not know him.

Nichols' bail was set at $250,000. While jail records indicate Nichols remained behind bars Tuesday afternoon, the charge of annoying or molesting a child was no longer listed among the charges against him. Nichols' next court date is scheduled for April 23.

'I'll kill you in the name of Allah': Knife-wielding male makes death threats in chilling driveway incident; suspect arrested



A knife-wielding male was caught on surveillance video issuing death threats — he was heard twice saying, "I'll kill you in the name of Allah" — to another man in the driveway of an Ohio home in the middle of the night last weekend.

Anthony Tyrone Jessie Long, 23, was arrested and charged with aggravated menacing and aggravated trespassing after Warren County Sheriff's deputies were called to a Franklin Township home just before 1:30 a.m. Sunday for a reported suspicious person, WXIX-TV reported, citing sheriff's office records.

'Hey bud, you knocking on the door?'

A woman told dispatchers that a male was walking around the front of the property and knocking on the door while holding a knife and threatening to kill her husband "in the name of Allah" before chasing after the couple's daughter, who had just arrived in the driveway, the station said.

"We knew our daughter would just get out of the car and come right in," the woman told WXIX in the aftermath, adding that "we were too afraid that the guy was going to do something to her."

Surveillance video shows the suspect at first kneeling and bowing his head on the driveway. Soon the dad approaches the suspicious person and asks him, "Hey, bud, you knocking on the door?"

With that, the male walks toward the dad and twice tells him, "I'll kill you in the name of Allah."

The dad then retreats toward the house and yells for his daughter to drive away.

The daughter was able to get away, WXIX reported, and the suspicious person fled in a car.

When deputies got to the scene, the victims showed them surveillance video of the incident, the station said.

About 15 minutes later, Clearcreek Police were dispatched to a traffic stop near Bunnell Hill and State Route 122; a caller claimed they were being followed by a driver — and that the driver tried to ram the caller's car, WXIX said.

With that, the person who called 911 led the driver to a Clearcreek Police station where officers detained the driver, identified as Long, as the driver matched the description of the suspicious person wanted for threatening the Franklin Township family, the station noted.

Deputies returned to the Franklin Township residence, and the family showed them video of the suspicious person with a knife — and the knife matched the one found in Long's possession, WXIX said.

Long was taken to the Warren County Jail, and jail records on Thursday afternoon indicate he's still behind bars. The station said Long is being held on a $1,500 cash-only bond for the Clearcreek incident as well as a $75,000 bond for the Franklin Township incident; his next court date is April 23.

'Maga maggots': Guns, body armor, ammo, Palestinian flag found at home of man accused of threatening to murder ICE agents



Democrats and the liberal media have been working overtime to vilify and dehumanize the men and women of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

This demonization campaign — which opened a new front Sunday with the mob action against Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota — has coincided with unprecedented spikes in assaults and death threats against ICE agents.

'Alright, you got me.'

The growing left-wing animus is not, however, going unanswered.

Two men were charged in separate cases this week for allegedly threatening to murder ICE agents.

Justin Mesael Novoa, 21, of Columbus, Ohio, was federally charged Thursday with making threatening interstate communications. Novoa apparently has been stewing for months, allegedly issuing threats on X which were brought to the attention of Homeland Security Investigations.

According to the Justice Department, HSI investigators came across a June 2025 post in which Novoa allegedly wrote, "They should blast every ice agent they find."

Apparently it was far from a one-off articulation of bloodthirst.

In November, Novoa allegedly wrote, "Can't wait to shoot these p***y ice agents and r*****d maga maggots."

Court documents indicate that Elon Musk's X Corp. provided HSI with account details, including an email in Novoa's name as well as his phone number, reported WSYX-TV.

Investigators subsequently found other troubling posts on Novoa's alleged X account including numerous anti-Semitic posts calling Jewish people "subhuman" and "filthy" as well as posts referencing Adolf Hitler.

When federal agents executed a search warrant at the radical's residence in December, they found body armor, a pair of military-issue helmets, two rifles, two shotguns, a handgun, and a wealth of ammunition.

A Palestinian flag reportedly also was found in Novoa's room.

Novoa allegedly told federal agents conducting the search, "Alright, you got me. That was me," adding, "Damn, so Elon [Musk] does give you access to that," reported WSYX.

Novoa, whose preliminary hearing is set for Feb. 5, apparently did not have an adult criminal history, and court documents indicate he was not prohibited from possessing firearms.

In a separate case, a man from Harrison County, West Virginia, also was arrested this week for allegedly threatening to murder federal immigration agents and supporters of President Donald Trump. Cody Smith, 20, has been charged with making terroristic threats and was being held at North Central Regional Jail.

West Virginia State Police learned that Smith had posted videos of himself online in which he allegedly said he was going to attack and kill ICE agents and made threats against Trump. Smith also allegedly indicated on social media that he intended to murder Trump supporters and service members willing to "bootlick," reported WBOY-TV.

Blaze News has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment.

These alleged terroristic threats also come amid Democratic officials' increasingly incendiary rhetoric.

Minnesota Mayor Jacob Frey, for instance, characterized ICE as an "occupying force." In a recent interview, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes accused federal immigration officers of engaging in "thuggish, brutish behavior" and discussed scenarios in which it may be reasonable to shoot masked ICE agents.

Earlier this month, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin noted that "the unprecedented increase in violence against law enforcement is a direct result of sanctuary politicians and the media creating an environment that demonizes our law enforcement and encourages rampant assaults against them."

I experienced Jimmy Kimmel’s lies firsthand. His suspension is justice.



ABC announced last week that it was indefinitely pulling “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” The network cited his dishonest remarks about MAGA and the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk. Then on Monday, the network reversed itself. Kimmel is expected to return to the air on Tuesday night.

The original decision outraged the left. Activists immediately claimed it was a violation of free speech, pretending Kimmel was a victim of “cancel culture.” The network’s change of heart likely won’t please anyone, except for Kimmel and his staff. The irony? Kimmel himself cheered when others lost their platforms.

I still live with the fallout of his lies. Many others do too. For once, at least, Kimmel faces consequences.

This isn’t a man who deserves sympathy. I know from experience.

How Kimmel targeted me

Five years ago, while working for the California Republican Party, I promoted the party’s legal ballot collection efforts online. That one tweet turned into a smear campaign. Politicians and left-leaning groups smeared and defamed me. My own employers abandoned me.

Media figures amplified the false narrative. None did more damage than Jimmy Kimmel. Days after the controversy began, he ran a segment featuring my full name and photo. He falsely claimed my work was illegal and added a grotesque line suggesting that someone should stuff me into a ballot collection box. The box was too small to fit a person. The implication was obvious.

He wasn’t joking. The segment was a televised incitement that smeared my reputation and put my safety at even greater risk.

Living with the fallout

The consequences came fast. Threats filled my inbox. Law enforcement advised me to leave my apartment and lay low. Police guarded my parents’ home after they were harassed.

When my short-term contract with the California Republican Party ended, I couldn’t find work. Despite my clean record, military service, and two master’s degrees, doors kept closing. They still do. Kimmel wasn’t the only one who defamed me, but his national broadcast magnified the lies and hardened the damage.

Unlike Kimmel, I didn’t have millions in the bank or a network behind me. I was a junior staffer, recently out of the military, scraping by on less than $60,000 a year. His words carried a weight mine never could.

Kimmel’s hypocrisy

In 2023, NFL star Aaron Rodgers joked that Kimmel didn’t want the Epstein client list released. Kimmel threatened to sue him. Yet when Kimmel broadcast falsehoods about me — and encouraged violence against me — no apology ever came.

Kimmel even lectured Rodgers from his monologue: “When I do get something wrong, which happens on rare occasions, you know what I do? I apologize.” That’s an obvious lie. He certainly never apologized to me.

And I’m not the only one. He has encouraged vandalism against Tesla owners and, most recently, pushed the outrageous lie that Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin was a MAGA Republican — a smear made after evidence proved otherwise.

Why ABC pulled the plug

Contrary to the left-liberal narrative, ABC’s move was not political interference. It was business. Kimmel’s audience had been shrinking for years. Just this month, his ratings fell another 11%. His rant about Kirk’s assassination would only have accelerated the collapse.

Networks have every right to act when a host becomes a liability. The First Amendment does not entitle Jimmy Kimmel to ABC’s airwaves.

Consequences at last

So, in reality, Kimmel’s return to late night may be short-lived. His career decline is his own making. But unlike his targets, he’ll be fine. He will walk away with a $50 million net worth. He’ll find plenty of work again.

I, on the other hand, still live with the fallout of his lies. Many others do too. But for a moment, at least, Kimmel faced consequences. And to borrow a favorite line from his liberal supporters: Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.

​​'I don't want your salvation! I want you to f**king die!' Student prayer vigil for Charlie Kirk hit with 'pure evil'



In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination, the New York University College Republicans organized a prayer vigil at Washington Square Park on Sunday night.

"All we wanted was some time to mourn the death of a man who meant so much to so many people," chapter President Ryan Leonard said.

'You're in a very, very dark place, but we'll pray for your salvation.'

Leonard, a senior, told Blaze News that while he'd been part of the College Republicans ever since his start at NYU, he'd been president only since the beginning of the fall semester — and the candlelight vigil would be his first time in charge of a major club event.

It would prove a baptism by fire for the philosophy major.

Leonard told Blaze News that anywhere from 50 to 100 individuals attended the vigil, and it was looking pretty good — highlighted by an impressive display of Kirk-related images under the park's legendary Arch.

Unfortunately, about 20 to 30 protesters showed up, too, Leonard told Blaze News.

While vigil attendees sang the national anthem and attempted to pray, protesters openly mocked Kirk and praised his murder; they even sang a song reflective of an engraving on the assassin's bullet casings. Indeed, it was a continuation of a chilling, unnerving theme that's been played out at other college campuses following Kirk's cold-blooded killing — including at Texas Tech University and Texas State University.

But one protester was particularly aggressive, Leonard told Blaze News, noting that he was "one of the most vulgar and disruptive protesters there."

This guy came with an acoustic guitar and sang some songs with "inappropriate" lyrics, Leonard said, adding that the College Republicans fought back by not giving him attention, even when he was "calling us white supremacists and racists."

Well, that only fueled the protester's fire.

The dark-hearted individual ended up getting a "foot away from our members," Leonard told Blaze News, but still the vigil-goers "did not engage him."

Leonard told Blaze News that at first "I was just very angry when he was disrupting, and then I saw the wrath in his heart, and I became sad for him and the state he was in."

In a brief video the College Republicans recorded, Leonard can be heard telling the protester that "you're in a very, very dark place, but we'll pray for your salvation."

With that, the demented busker launched into an apparently improvised song aimed right back at Leonard. As he strummed angry chords, he loudly sang, "I don't want your salvation! I want you to f**king die! We're not gonna give you a second chance, even when you beg for it, on your knees, begging and pleading!"

Here's the clip, which is used with permission from @nyurepublicans on X. Content warning: Language:

— (@)

Leonard told Blaze News that while vigil-goers only returned his hatred with peace, the protester just "got madder and more enraged" and "he started being threatening."

Worse yet, as the protester continued his verbal assaults, Leonard told Blaze News that "more people gathered around him" and a kind of mob was forming. Soon the vigil-goers started getting literally "pushed around," Leonard explained.

Finally, New York police officers "escorted us away," he noted.

Washington Square Park is completely open, so anyone off the street can enter it. Given that kind of access, Blaze News asked Leonard if he was concerned for his safety and that of his fellow club members, given the way Kirk was assassinated out in the open at Utah Valley University just days ago. Leonard told Blaze News that possibility was "definitely going through my mind."

But as the club's president said in a previous statement, he and his fellow College Republicans won't be bullied: "To interrupt a solemn vigil full of grieving young people who were trying to honor the life of an inspiration and mentor they looked up to is pure evil, and we will not let them intimidate us into silence. We will go even harder to honor the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk."

In fact, Leonard added to Blaze News that Sunday night's ordeal has resulted in a "boost in our club that I've never seen before. People are encouraging us, and they appreciate us standing up for them."

Indiana woman allegedly threatened to disembowel Trump in revenge for pandemic deaths



A 50-year-old woman from Lafayette, Indiana, was arrested over alleged threats to the president she made on social media, according to the Department of Justice.

Nathalie Rose Jones made the threats on her Instagram account in posts between Aug. 2 and Aug. 9, according to prosecutors. She had also attended a protest in Washington, D.C., according to NewsNation, which had interviewed her just hours before her arrest.

Jones allegedly said that she wanted to kill Trump in order to 'avenge all the lives lost during the COVID-19 pandemic.'

Jones reportedly believed that Trump had been removed as president and former Rep. Liz Cheney had been appointed interim president afterward.

"I am willing to sacrificially kill this POTUS by disemboweling him and cutting out his trachea with Liz Cheney and all The Affirmation present," one post allegedly read on the "Nath.Jones" account.

The posts have since been deleted.

When she was interviewed by the Secret Service about the posts, Jones allegedly said that she wanted to kill Trump in order to “avenge all the lives lost during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

WPTA-TV reported that Jones had been a pharmacist until her license was suspended in January. State records said she had become unfit because of mental or physical disability.

In the interview with NewsNation, Jones says she opposes the militarization of Washington, D.C., and what she describes as the authoritarian policies of the president.

On Saturday, she reportedly admitted to making the threats on Instagram but denied having a desire to kill the president.

"Threatening the life of the president is one of the most serious crimes and one that will be met with swift and unwavering prosecution," U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said.

"Make no mistake — justice will be served," she added.
