Mall Of America Shooting Suspect Got Light Sentence From Soros DA — Now Faces Two New Murder Charges
All three murders have been identified as gang-related
Meet the ‘philanthropaths’ spending billions to kill the American dream
Many of us on the political right once held a principled aversion to telling the ultra-wealthy how to spend their money. Confiscating private wealth sounded un-American. If billionaires wanted to build libraries, fund symphonies, or throw lavish parties, fine — they were reinvesting in society, directly or indirectly.
But that was before the rise of the modern “philanthropath”: a new breed of sociopathic billionaire using inherited or self-made fortunes to re-engineer civilization from the top down. These aren’t benevolent stewards. They’re ideological crusaders waging war on tradition, prosperity, and truth.
These are not patrons of progress — they’re funders of decline. And their wealth has become a weapon.
George Soros spent millions installing radical, pro-crime prosecutors in cities across the country. Bill Gates bankrolls schemes to block the sun in the name of climate alarmism.
At least Soros and Gates earned their fortunes. Increasingly, the most aggressive philanthropaths are heirs — trust-fund radicals who never worked a day to build the wealth they now use to tear society apart.
The nepo-billionaire left
Earlier this month, Walmart heiress Christy Walton made headlines for bankrolling the No Kings anti-Trump protests. Hyatt heir and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) used his $3 billion inheritance — and famous last name — to push transgender surgeries on minors. After President Trump’s 2024 election, Pritzker promised to turn Illinois into a destination for confused parents seeking to chemically sterilize and mutilate their children.
His sibling Jennifer Pritzker (born James) proudly funds transgender medical interventions, calling it “a continuation of my family’s tradition of putting personal philanthropy into service for the public good.”
As I’ve documented before, the eco-vandal group Just Stop Oil — responsible for throwing soup on van Gogh paintings and blocking roads across Europe — draws funding from Abigail Disney, Aileen Getty, and Rory Kennedy. These aren’t anonymous donors. They’re members of America’s closest thing to a royal class. Getty even defended funding the group in the Guardian, writing, “I fund climate activism — and I applaud the van Gogh protest.”
Inheritance reconsidered
I don’t support an inheritance tax. These taxes hit middle-class families hardest — especially family farms and small businesses. The IRS doesn’t care how long your grandfather worked the land; it just wants a cut.
But the more the ultrarich use their fortunes to fund antihuman ideologies, the harder it becomes to defend that wealth politically. They are making the moral case for confiscation easier by the day.
Market trader and television commentator Jim Iuorio recently wrote, “There is no moral or economic argument in favor of inheritance tax ... it should obviously be zero ... making it more than zero is rooted in petty jealousy.”
Fair enough. But if I had to argue in favor of an inheritance tax on moral grounds, I’d just start naming names: Alex Soros. Melinda Gates. JB Pritzker. Christy Walton. Aileen Getty. It’s not envy — it’s damage control.

What the right can do
We don’t need to confiscate wealth to fight philanthropaths. But we do need a strategy. Here’s a start:
Trustbusting: Break up corporate monopolies. This won’t empty the bank accounts of people like Gates or Zuckerberg, but it could dismantle the ideological machines they built — and send a message: America won’t tolerate ideological empires built on tech monopolies.
Lawfare: Conservatives have long avoided weaponizing the law. But that restraint has allowed the left to prosecute its enemies with impunity. State attorneys general and DAs should investigate tax-exempt foundations. Are these groups funding organized criminal activity? Are they operating as unregistered lobbying arms? If so, they’re fair game.
If the ultra-wealthy refuse to stop using their fortunes to undermine Western civilization, we must treat their fortunes as what they are: weapons.
An antihuman agenda
These billionaires aren’t just funding protests. They’re promoting a post-human future. In the name of “climate justice,” they want to ban meat, take away your car, outlaw carbon-based energy, and impose synthetic food alternatives on working families.
They aren’t asking politely. They’re demanding submission — or else.
World Economic Forum guru Yuval Noah Harari said the quiet part out loud in 2022: “We just don’t need the vast majority of the population.” I assume he doesn’t mean himself. He means you. He means your family.
When elites embrace mass depopulation as policy, don’t expect me to argue over tax brackets. I’m not interested in theory. I’m interested in survival.
So yes, I’m more open to separating sociopathic billionaires from their wealth than I once was. I still believe in economic liberty. But liberty doesn’t mean allowing radicalized aristocrats to fund our destruction.
Because if we don’t stop them now, they won’t just take your gas stove — they’ll take your future.
Meet the man gunning for Paxton’s Texas AG seat to squash Soros DAs
Now that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is taking on incumbent Republican Senator John Cornyn (R) in the 2026 U.S. Senate primary, the attorney general’s office might have some big shoes to fill next year.
Given Cornyn’s low approval ratings, there’s a good chance Texas will need a new “top cop,” says BlazeTV host Jill Savage.
Thankfully, there is “someone that has experience fighting alongside Donald Trump at the Justice Department ... someone that Trump has called a true MAGA attorney and warrior for the Constitution” who has risen to the challenge. His name is Aaron Reitz, and he’s Paxton’s former senior Department of Justice official and deputy.
On a recent episode of “Blaze News | The Mandate,” Reitz joined Jill and Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson to share what motivated him to take on this challenge and how he plans to ensure Texas stays tough on crime while holding rogue, Soros-backed DAs accountable.
“I know that if the president doesn't get a true MAGA attorney or a warrior for the Constitution in that Texas AG spot ... all kinds of dominoes are going to fall, and it's going to be very bad, not only for Texas but really for the nation,” says Reitz. “I can’t accept that scenario.”
“What we need out of a Texas AG is somebody who first and foremost understands the civilizational crisis that we're in. It's not an exaggeration to say that we are in the midst of a war for the soul and the heart of our country,” he continues. “Texas in particular, just out of its sheer size, influence, scope, and power, is really always going to be where the heart of that fight is, and it's why Democrats are always competing to try to take Texas.”
It would be a mistake, says Reitz, if Texas falls into what he calls “red-state complacency” — a phenomenon where red states forget that we are currently in the throes of a “civilizational and frankly even a spiritual cold war for our state and for our nation.” These states mistakenly figure that “tinkering on the margins” will “preserve liberty, preserve justice, and advance law and order.”
But it’s not enough — not since Soros-funded district attorneys began “undermining law and order in Texas.” Texas counties, Reitz explains, “have massive amounts of autonomy and discretion,” meaning “ideological Democrats get governmental capture over their city and their county political apparatuses, and they just start advancing an aggressive left-wing agenda.”
“The Texas AG, though, as a statewide elected official representing the interests of the whole state and robed with immense constitutional powers, plays a critical part in suppressing the extent of the damage that these blue Soros-funded DAs do,” says Reitz, noting that this calculated suppression requires the AG “to get creative with the exercise of the weapons that are in statute.”
One creative legal strategy he plans to employ is called a "quo warranto memo" — a common-law mechanism allowing a state to challenge the authority of a public official or entity, such as a district attorney, if they are repeatedly and flagrantly violating the law.
“I want to seek affirmative measures for the state of Texas — state versus Soros-funded DA — because if that Soros-funded DA is making our streets unsafe, releasing criminals, making families paranoid ... and they are abusing their prosecutorial discretion to the extent that the cities are rotting, I want to be the kind of Texas AG that comes directly for you,” says Reitz. “You've got a state attorney general who is going to come and hold you accountable and ideally get you out of office.”
To hear more of Reitz’s plans to keep Texas tough, watch the episode above.

Soros-tied No Kings protesters plot to sabotage US Army's 250th anniversary parade
As President Donald Trump's administration prepares a grand and patriotic 250th anniversary celebration for the U.S. Army, George Soros-funded progressive activists are plotting a meticulously organized counterprotest to politicize the military milestone.
The White House has stated that the Grand Military Parade scheduled for June 14 in Washington, D.C., aims to "celebrate the legacy of the Army and express our deepest gratitude to those who have served and continue to serve in its ranks."
'That AFL-CIO is openly involved in sponsoring the No Kings rally should raise extreme concerns as to the rally's true purpose.'
"For 250 years, the U.S. Army has defended our nation, upheld the ideals of freedom and democracy, and served with courage at home and abroad. From the Revolutionary War to today, the Army's soldiers have embodied duty, honor, and sacrifice, ensuring the security of the United States and its people," the administration's America 250 website reads.
Despite this tribute to military service and national unity, progressive activists backed by wealthy donors and taxpayer-funded groups are orchestrating a nationwide protest to overshadow the Army's milestone with an anti-Trump agenda.
Progressive protests target Army's anniversary
The Indivisible Project, a progressive organization formed in 2016 to counter Trump, and its "pro-democracy partner organizations" announced in early May a nationwide effort to protest the Army's parade.
With thousands of events registered across the U.S., the demonstration, dubbed the "No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance," aims to steal the spotlight from the historic celebration by mobilizing against "corrupt, authoritarian politics."
The No Kings movement has framed the patriotic event as Trump's "self-aggrandizing $100 million birthday celebration," claiming the president is attempting to use the parade to flex his authoritarian power on the world stage.
However, that framing is misleading, as the parade's date coincides with multiple events: Trump's 79th birthday, the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary, and Flag Day.
When asked about the No Kings protests, Trump responded, “I don't feel like a king. I have to go through hell to get stuff approved.”
The No Kings movement has used alarmism to rally progressives against Trump, spreading unsubstantiated allegations that his administration is guilty of grave abuses, including suppressing free speech, detaining political opponents, threatening to deport American citizens, defying the court, and "disappear[ing] people off the streets."
"President Trump has already indicated that he's aiming for at least a third term," a No Kings host toolkit reads.
The No Kings movement is mobilizing its base with an exaggerated narrative that casts Trump as a menacing authoritarian dictator wielding unchecked power, painting him as a threat that demands urgent action to halt his perceived tyranny.
'All people who show up with guns are not going to be our enemies, and everybody who shows up with one is not going to be at an elevated risk for using their weapon.'
Beyond portraying the military parade as Trump's personal birthday celebration, No Kings is strategically avoiding staging protests in the D.C. area, instead hoping to draw attention away from the parade's venue.
Reclaiming the American flag is key for the movement to succeed in counterprogramming the Army's anniversary event. Those participating in the protests were encouraged to bring the American flag to "reclaim this symbol and remind the world that the freedom we stand for is freedom for all."

Who's behind the No Kings protest?
The massive coordinated effort further fuels concerns that the recent protests, including those that led to destructive and violent riots in Los Angeles, are funded by activist organizations and left-wing groups with deep pockets.
While Indivisible Project claims it is a "grassroots" movement, advertising the No Kings protests as a "march against authoritarian politics and billionaire takeover," it relies on vast sums from left-leaning tycoons notorious for manipulating elections and movements. These considerable grants and donations enable it to organize the large-scale and synchronized rally while disguising its elite-driven agenda as a people-powered revolt.
Indivisible Project's most recent tax filings reveal that the group reported $12.6 million in revenue in 2023. Indivisible Civics, another 501(c)(3) under Indivisible's mission, reported $5.1 million in revenue in 2023. Combined, the two organizations have over $11 million in assets.
Further shattering Indivisible's "grassroots" claims, George Soros' Open Society Foundations has heavily funded the group, providing $7.2 million in grants since 2018, including $3 million in 2023.
DataRepublican has also linked No Kings' funding to the ACLU and its various local chapters.
Likewise, several local branches of the AFL-CIO, a massive labor union, sponsored the No Kings rallies, including in Minnesota, where Governor Tim Walz is slated to speak, and Kentucky. The AFL-CIO has received millions of dollars in taxpayer funds yearly. The AFL-CIO's Solidarity Center reported receiving $69 million in federal grants in 2023 and another $59 million in 2022.
"AFL-CIO is one of the key taxpayer-funded organizations in effecting regime change all over the world," DataRepublican warned. "That AFL-CIO is openly involved in sponsoring the No Kings rally should raise extreme concerns as to the rally's true purpose."
No Kings' reliance on billionaire backers exposes its hypocrisy, crusading against elite control while embodying the wealth-driven influence it claims to oppose.

Meticulous planning and endless resources
Since announcing the protests on May 6, in just over one month, the Indivisible Project and its partners have put together a highly structured plan for the demonstrations, including hosting regularly scheduled virtual meetings with volunteer protesters leading up to the rallies, assigning individuals to take on specific roles during the demonstrations, and providing numerous training and media assets.
Those who signed up to partake in the protests, particularly those volunteering to lead in any capacity, are provided with links to "Know Your Rights Training" hosted by the American Civil Liberties Union, "Safety and Deescalation Training," "Media and Messaging Training," and a 32-page "Peacekeeper Training Workbook."
Protest "hosts" are also provided with an 18-page "toolkit" and a help hotline available 12 hours a day from June 11 through June 14.
A No Kings team reviews and approves each scheduled event within 48 to 72 hours of the initial request. The group anticipates over 2,000 protests across the nation with millions of attendees.
Protesters are assigned to detailed roles for the demonstrations — acting as hosts, safety leads, police liaisons, peacekeepers, and media speakers — and provided coaching on how to show up to the event and respond to various situations.
No Kings' virtual training meetings revealed a sophisticated level of organization.
During a No Kings' "Host Update Call + Marshals Training" meeting on Wednesday evening, organizers provided de-escalation role-play scenarios to teach protesters how to handle hecklers, counterprotesters, and even "somebody on our side" who may try to "incite violent action" by bringing "paint balloons or rocks so that they can encourage other people to throw things."
The presenters also discussed the possibility of protesters and counterprotesters bringing firearms to the demonstrations in open-carry states.
"In an open carry state, you're going to have to really watch how people are showing up. Are they aggravated? Are they wearing a T-shirt that says 'Indivisible' on it? It's going to be subjective," Nadine Bloch, an executive training conductor with Beautiful Trouble, stated on the training call. "All people who show up with guns are not going to be our enemies, and everybody who shows up with one is not going to be at an elevated risk for using their weapon."
'Peaceful protests are part of the fabric of our nation, but Texas will not tolerate the lawlessness we have seen in Los Angeles in response to President Donald Trump's enforcement of immigration law.'
Also during the training call, Stephen Piggott with Princeton University's Bridging Divides Initiative addressed the potential for the presence of counterprotesters.
"We want to emphasize that recent anti-administration protests have remained peaceful, with only isolated incidents of conflict and minimal counterprotester activity. We looked at data from the two most recent nationwide protest days, May Day and the April 5 Hands Off protests. And we found that 99% of these protests — so 1,029 out of the 1,031 — saw no reports of violence or destruction," Piggott stated.
"Only about 4% of those protests — so about 36 of them — actually involved counterdemonstrations or counterprotests," he continued.
He claimed this year's protests have been "very peaceful" with "really not a whole lot of counterdemonstration activity."
Piggott further noted that "actors of concern," such as the Proud Boys and militia groups, have had decreased "offline activity" compared to last year. However, he noted such actors are "paying a bit more attention to the No Kings protest" following the "events in L.A. over the past week."
"What we are not seeing at all is widespread calls from actors of concern to mobilize in response to this weekend," he added.
Although the No Kings movement condemns violence, their training on managing “instigators” reveals organizers’ concerns about disruptions from their own supporters, not conservative "actors of concern," who, as Piggott noted, are less likely to mobilize.

Response
Legacy media outlets have bolstered No Kings' narrative, depicting the Army's 250th anniversary parade as Trump's authoritarian birthday spectacle and sidelining its patriotic ties to military history and Flag Day.
Following destructive anti-immigration enforcement riots in Los Angeles last week, which saw widespread property damage and arrests, No Kings' timing and the media's amplification of the movement's narrative raise fears of similar escalation.
'If any person assaults a federal law enforcement officer, they risk being prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.'
While the No Kings organizers have repeatedly condemned violence and rioting, others are convinced the gathering, particularly given the large scale of demonstrations, will devolve into lawlessness, raising questions about how Indivisible and its partner organizations plan to prevent such chaos at all of their events.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) is one of the many who believe the demonstrations could result in destruction and violence similar to that which occurred in Los Angeles.
In preparation for the mass gatherings, Abbott announced earlier this week that he would deploy Texas National Guard troops to specific locations in the state to "ensure peace and order."
On Thursday, Abbott deployed over 5,000 Texas National Guard troops and 2,000 state police to prevent potential unrest, following clashes between protesters and law enforcement in Austin and Dallas earlier this week that led to roughly a dozen arrests.
"Peaceful protests are part of the fabric of our nation, but Texas will not tolerate the lawlessness we have seen in Los Angeles in response to President Donald Trump's enforcement of immigration law," Abbott declared. "Anyone engaging in acts of violence or damaging property will be arrested and held accountable to the full extent of the law."
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson told Blaze News, "ICE respects the constitutional right of people to peacefully protest; however, assaulting, resisting, impeding, or harassing ICE officers and special agents or interfering in any way as they are executing their official duty is against the law. If any person assaults a federal law enforcement officer, they risk being prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
Blaze News senior politics editor Christopher Bedford revealed the broader progressive tactic.
"Everything you're seeing now — from the senator from California lunging through agents at the Secretary of Homeland Security, the rioting in Los Angeles, or the congresswoman assaulting a police officer in New Jersey — all of these things are intentional provocations in the hopes of setting something off and triggering an overreaction because they can't get their own grassroots motivated," Bedford stated.
No Kings, the Indivisible Project, the AFL-CIO, and the ACLU did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

'The American people overwhelmingly rejected these soft-on-crime, defund-the-police policies in the last election because they undermined the safety and security of their communities.'The Innocence Project’s not so innocent: Criminals, anti-justice billionaires, and politicians
The Innocence Project has long been lauded by activists for helping those who were wrongfully convicted find their freedom again — but after a closer look, the project appears to have a habit of undermining true justice in the interest of social justice.
“A man who was released from prison because of the efforts of the Innocence Project has now been arrested for the possession of child sex abuse material,” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey begins. “This is just the most recent example of criminals who have been advocated for by the Innocence Project who have gone on to reoffend.”
“And actually, the Innocence Project has a very long history of defending those who beyond a reasonable doubt have committed heinous crimes, including the rape and the murder of children,” she continues.
The case of Robert Roberson, another one that’s been taken on by the Innocence Project, features an autistic man who was convicted for the death of his 2-year-old daughter in 2002.
His daughter, Nikki, had been sick, and she was alleged to have fallen from her bed and later become unresponsive.
While the Innocence Project claims Roberson wasn’t responsible, he not only was reported by the hospital to be unemotional about his child’s injuries but also became very angry with his girlfriend, Teddie, when she asked Roberson to watch Nikki, since she was in the hospital.
It was the first time Roberson was ever left alone with his daughter.
“The next morning, Teddie ... was discharged from the hospital, and she called Robert to ask for a ride from the hospital. He responded, reportedly, that he probably needed to come to the hospital anyway, because their daughter, Nikki, wasn’t breathing,” Stuckey explains.
“Teddie testified that Roberson wasn’t upset at all about the situation. He didn’t seem flustered. He didn’t seem like he was in a hurry. He didn’t even pull up to the front door of the hospital. Instead, he took the time to find a parking spot,” she continues.
Medical exams following Nikki’s death painted the picture that her “brain swelling was so severe that her brain had shifted from the right to the left” and that the injuries had to be “intentionally inflicted.”
And for some reason, it appears there are very powerful people who want Americans fighting these convictions.
“The Innocence Project is also backed by the usual left-wing billionaires and left-wing political donors. They receive millions, no surprise, from George Soros’ Open Society Foundation and radical leftist philanthropist MacKenzie Scott,” Stuckey explains.
“If there were any doubt about the Innocence Project’s ideological bent, they’re not just some apolitical organization that’s trying to exonerate innocent people,” she continues. “It’s about partisanship. It’s about undermining law and order, rewriting history, changing the facts, advancing a radical leftist — often racialized — agenda under the guise of compassion and empathy and justice.”
“They turn criminals into victims and the justice system into the oppressor. They distort reality and erode the very foundation of accountability and lawfulness in America,” she adds.
