Radical Vegan Transgender Cult Update: Three ‘Zizians’ Make Court Appearance

Posted on Comments

Jack ‘Ziz’ LaSota enters courthouse Friday

Let’s begin by giving full credit to Andy Ngo who, as he says, has “been reporting on the cult for over a year and broke the story that linked the homicides together a year ago.” Doing important work.

When last we updated this ongoing saga (“Radical Vegan Transgender Cult Update: Ziz Claims to Be ‘Genocide’ Victim,” November 28), Jack “Ziz” LaSota had just appeared in a federal courthouse in Baltimore, ranting insanely about “genocide” against transgender people. That hearing involved a federal felony charge — possession of firearms and ammunition by a fugitive — while LaSota and two other “Zizians” are also facing state charges in Allegany County, Maryland, where they were captured last February after a nationwide manhunt. It was those state charges that brought the trio to court Friday in Cumberland, Maryland:

Three members of the Zizians, a cultlike group linked to six deaths across the U.S., were granted permission Friday to work together in preparation for their upcoming trial on trespassing, weapons and drug charges.
Jack LaSota, Michelle Zajko and Daniel Blank are among a group of young, highly intelligent computer scientists drawn together by radical beliefs about veganism, gender identity and artificial intelligence.

(Credit to the Associated Press for that concise summary.)

Authorities have described LaSota, a transgender woman known as Ziz, as the apparent leader of the “extremist group.” Since 2022, Zizians have been tied to the death of one of their own during an attack on a California landlord, the landlord’s subsequent killing, the deaths of Zajko’s parents in Pennsylvania, and a highway shootout in Vermont that left another member and a U.S. Border Patrol agent dead.

(Again, thanks for the concise summary, although I’ll have to deduct points for the phrase “transgender woman.”)

LaSota, Zajko and Blank were arrested in February after a property owner said he found them living in box trucks on his land in Frostburg, Maryland. Zajko was charged in Vermont with lying on her application to buy the gun used to kill agent David Maland in January 2025, while LaSota faces separate federal charges of being an armed fugitive.
On her way into the courthouse Friday, LaSota accused prosecutors of pressuring the trio to commit perjury by accepting plea deals and said, “They’re violating our speedy trial rights.” Friday’s hearing was supposed to include discussions of the trio’s motions to dismiss the charges and logistics of the trial that begins Feb. 9. Much of the agenda was postponed until Jan. 30 after Zajko indicated a desire to fire her attorney.

(Note to self: Plan trip to Cumberland for that hearing.)

Earlier, Allegany County Circuit Court Judge Michael Twigg agreed to allow the trio to work together on their defense. Since their arrest, LaSota and Blank have been allowed to meet, but Zajko was kept apart in what she described as “absurdly difficult circumstances.”
When the prosecutor told the judge he had reason to believe the three had already been communicating amongst themselves, LaSota interjected, “In the car ride here!”
“We should be able to talk to each other without being recorded and without fear of our notes being intercepted,” LaSota said.
“We’re adults. We have work to do, and we want to do our work,” Zajko said.
At one point, all three spoke up in support of each other.
“I repudiate any notion of protecting me from our codefendants,” LaSota said.
“I do, too,” said Zajko.
“As do I,” Blank said.
In the Vermont case, prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Zizians member Teresa Youngblut, who has pleaded not guilty to murder for her alleged involvement in the shootout. Though she initially faced lesser charges, President Donald Trump’s administration had signaled early on that more serious charges were coming as part of its push for more federal executions.
At the time of the shooting, authorities had been watching Youngblut and her companion, Felix Bauckholt, for several days after a Vermont hotel employee reported seeing them carrying guns and wearing black tactical gear. She is accused of opening fire on border agents who pulled the car over on Interstate 91. An agent fired back, killing Bauckholt and wounding Youngblut.
Two other members of the Zizians group are awaiting trial in connection with the 2022 attack on a landlord in California that left another member dead. Zajko has been called a person of interest in the deaths of her parents later that year, and another member of the group is charged with killing the landlord three days before the Vermont shooting.

Let’s recap the body count of the Zizian cult:

Left to right: Amir “Emma” Borhanian, Rita and Richard Zajko
  • Amir “Emma” Borhanian — Cult member shot to death on November 15, 2022, by Curtis Lind, who was defending himself after being attacked by Borhanian and others. Lind had rented space on his property in Vallejo, California, to the “Zizians,” who were living in vans and box trucks. They were months behind on rent and, with Lind preparing to evict them, he was “allegedly impaled with a sword and blinded in one eye” during the attempted murder by the Zizians.
  • Rita and Richard Zajko — Parents of cult member Michelle Zajko, murdered on New Year’s Eve (December 31, 2022/January 1, 2023) in their Pennsylvania home. Michelle Zajko has been described as a “person of interest” in her parents’ deaths.
  • Curtis Lind — Murdered in California on January 17, 2025. Cult member Maximilian Snyder is charged with the murder. It is believed that Lind was killed to prevent him from testifying against two surviving cult members who were charged in the November 2022 attack.
  • David “Chris” Maland — U.S. Border Patrol agent shot to death in Vermont while making a traffic stop that turned into a shootout on January 20, 2025.
  • Felix “Ophelia” Bauckholt — Cult member from Germany, killed during the same Vermont shootout in which Maland died. Bauckholt’s accomplice, Teresa Youngblut, had taken out a marriage license with Snyder (the suspect in Lind’s murder). Youngblut survived the shootout and is now in federal custody.
Left to right: Curtis Lind, David “Chris” Maland, Felix “Ophelia” Bauckholt

Earlier this month, there was a hearing in Solano County, California related to the 2022 attack on Curtis Lind:

Delays are continuing to affect an upcoming trial involving two attempted murder suspects associated with an anti-AI group known as the Zizians, including one suspect who is currently medically unable to stand trial and has been frequently moved within California’s penal system in order to get adequate mental health care.
Solano County Superior Court Judge John Ellis again asked California corrections officials where Suri Dao, one of two suspects charged with the attempted murder of Vallejo landlord Curtis Lind in 2022, can be housed and receive medical and mental health treatment for anorexia, catatonia and schizoaffective disorder.

(Andy Ngo has previously reported that “Suri Dao” is an alias, and the suspect’s real name is Tessa Berns.)

Dao, who appeared in court in a wheelchair and apparently catatonic with her head hanging down, was recently moved to the California Institution for Women in Chino to undergo psychological evaluation. However, the doctor initially assigned to review the case was unavailable, and, in anticipation of Monday’s [January 5] hearing, Dao was moved back to the Solano County jail, where she will be interviewed by what Ellis called an “alienist,” an older term describing a psychologist who appears as a court expert and determines the sanity of a defendant.
Ellis asked Jeff Harry, a deputy district attorney with Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office, who appeared via Zoom, if a facility in that county could house Dao, and “had the ability to force-feed someone.”
“That’s beyond my scope,” said Harry. “I’m not trying to be cagey, but I couldn’t say.”
Harry said there weren’t any facilities he could recall that had what he’d consider “24/7 suicide watch,” and he said Dao needed to go to a facility with “a higher level of care.”
Ellis said he was trying to find somewhere near Solano County that could force patients to take medications and has in-house or on-call psychiatric services.
At a Dec. 1 hearing, Jordan Alarcon, a psychiatric registered nurse and the director of nursing at Wellpath, the jail’s medical provider, said Dao had lost 32 pounds since September due to anorexia and had an electrolyte imbalance. He said she developed a pressure ulcer on her hip and buttock area because she was “lying down in feces and urine” and refused to get up. Her condition, Alarcon said, could lead to cardiac arrhythmia, and increases the likelihood of stroke and death.
Dao’s attorney Brian Ford told the court he would prefer his client go to a facility that could help with her mental health diagnoses, but it was unclear where in Northern California she would be able to receive in-depth treatment.
The second defendant, Alexander Jeffrey Leatham, a transgender woman, sat in the courtroom with a mask on while her attorneys told the court about the defense retaining new counsel [for Leatham], which would hold up the trial until August, when attorney Allison Margolin would be available as co-counsel.
Leatham, unprompted, interrupted proceedings to say; “Allison Margolin doesn’t represent me, I represent myself,” after she thanked her supporters for donating to her defense.
Ellis decided to postpone further discussion and decisions about where to house Dao until the psychologist turns in a report on Dao’s condition. A hearing is scheduled for Jan. 23 and is to address motions to compel and to continue and an arraignment for Leatham’s third attempted escape from jail.
The hearing date is the same date as a readiness conference regarding a trial in Solano Superior Court for a homicide charge against Maximillian Snyder, who is suspected of fatally stabbing Lind in the neck in January 2025. Lind had been set to testify against Dao and Leatham regarding the attempted murder charges.
In the attack for [which] Dao and Leatham are charged with attempted murder, Lind’s skull was shattered and his chest was impaled with a samurai sword. During the attack, Lind shot and killed another Zizian member, Emma Borhanian, and wounded Leatham. Both Leatham and Dao are charged with Borhanian’s murder, along with an aggravated mayhem charge.
Leatham and Dao belong to a group informally titled the Zizians, a loose, cult-like organization of radical vegans who claim AI is a danger to humanity. The two suspects are among roughly 10 known members of the Zizians — who are dedicated to the ideas of blogger Jack “Ziz” LaSota, a 34-year-old transgender woman who came to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2016.

The court should stop wasting time with these psychiatrists and just call me as an expert witness: Crazy People Are Dangerous.

Radical Vegan Transgender Cult Update: Ziz Claims to Be ‘Genocide’ Victim

Posted on

Jack Lasota, a/k/a “Ziz”

When last we updated the saga of the “Zizian” cult, federal prosecutors in August announced they would seek the death penalty against Teresa Youngblut, accused of killing a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Vermont.

The latest development in their crazy case is that cult leader Jack “Ziz” LaSota made a federal court appearance in Baltimore:

The alleged leader of a cultlike group linked to several killings made her first appearance in federal court Monday, denouncing the government and its case against her as a “genocide” against transgender people.
Ziz LaSota, who was originally charged under what her attorney referred to as her deadname, gave meandering answers at her initial appearance and arraignment in U.S. District Court in downtown Baltimore related to a Western Maryland gun arrest, which ended what had been a cross-country search.

(You know, when you’re facing federal weapons charges connected to a nationwide murder spree, being “deadnamed” probably isn’t the biggest issue you’re dealing with, and the Baltimore Banner’s use of “she/her” pronouns for LaSota is not deceiving anyone.)

[LaSota] refused to stand when the judge entered the courtroom, or when entering her plea of not guilty.
“Your government is currently going around scooping up brown people and disappearing them,” the 33-year-old LaSota said when asked by U.S. Magistrate Judge Douglas R. Miller if she understood the charges she faces. “I’m transgender, and the intentions of this regime towards transgender people are very clear: genocide.”
LaSota was being sought by law enforcement authorities in multiple states when she and two others were arrested in Frostburg on gun and trespassing charges in February. Federal prosecutors then obtained a grand jury indictment in June for a charge of possession of firearms and ammunition by a fugitive.
LaSota remains in custody in Allegany County, awaiting trial there.
The Zizians have been tied to the killing of a U.S. Border Patrol agent near the Canadian border in January and five other homicides in Vermont, Pennsylvania and California, though the exact role of LaSota, who faked her death in 2022, is unclear and she has not been charged in those deaths. She’s been seen at crime scenes, questioned by authorities and, in one instance, arrested on charges of obstructing police in Pennsylvania.
The Associated Press has reported that the Zizians are a group of young, highly intelligent computer scientists, most of them in their 20s and 30s, who met online, shared anarchist beliefs and became increasingly violent. Their online writings span topics from radical veganism to gender identity to artificial intelligence.
LaSota, the apparent leader and a former computer programmer, believes that the two hemispheres of the human brain can operate separately from one another, with one side holding different beliefs and existing as a different gender than the other, The Associated Press reported.
Alleged Zizian member Teresa Youngblut is charged with the murder of border agent David Maland in Vermont, and federal authorities have said they will seek the death penalty.
Shackled at the ankles during her court appearance on Monday, LaSota walked very slowly into the downtown Baltimore courtroom wearing an orange jail jumpsuit. Two Allegany County sheriff’s deputies sat in the second row.
As the judge asked basic questions such as whether she had read the indictment and understood the maximum possible penalties, LaSota chided the “mock proceedings” and said Miller was a “participant in an organized crime ring” led by the “states united in slavery.”
Miller struggled to get LaSota to answer basic questions.
Please state your name for the record, the court clerk said.
“Justice,” she replied.
What is your age?
“Timeless.”
What year were you born?
“I have been born many times.”
LaSota’s trial in Allegany County, originally scheduled to begin next month, has been rescheduled for February.

At some point, the judge will probably have to order a mental competency hearing for LaSota and, while the psychiatrist may determine that the suspect is fit to stand trial, there can be no doubt he is bonkers, berserk, daft, demented, deranged, wacky, off his rocker, non compos mentis, nuttier than squirrel farts, a few fries short of a Happy Meal and cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Must I repeat myself? Crazy People Are Dangerous.

Typical Democratic Voter Inadvertently Explains the Great Mystery of Our Time

Posted on

Did you ever wonder how the Democratic Party got so crazy? For example, how is it that the governor of Illinois is inciting violent mobs against federal immigration authorities and meanwhile, in Virginia, every Democrat is rallying to the defense of Attorney General candidate Jay Jones, who openly fantasized about murdering political opponents?

To summarize briefly: Bad causes attract bad people.

To understand the symbiotic relationship between toxic political movements and their toxic supporters, my advice is to first read Eric Hoffer’s 1951 classic, The True Believer, especially Part 2: “The Potential Converts.” Next, you should read Friedrich Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom, focusing on Chapter 10, “Why the Worst Get on Top.” Among the personal experiences that led me to comprehend this phenomenon was being swarmed by a mob of “Occupy” protesters in 2011. If you ever had the misfortune to be in close proximity to a zombie horde like that, you would never doubt that the fundamental problem of the Democratic Party is that its grassroots “base” is composed of dangerous lunatics.

If you ever needed a reason to vote Republican, this is it: Democrats are the party of people who celebrate terrorist massacres of innocent Jews.

All of which is preamble to introducing you to the person calling herself “Cloud,” who describes herself as “Pisces / 26 / ATL / Immortal Angel Femboy / Cosplayer” on an Instagram account with approximately 8,000 followers. If ever anyone needed a Kiwi Farms LOLCow file . . .

This summer, “Cloud” went viral with a video denouncing Taylor Swift’s engagement to “MAGA-adjacent” Travis Kelce:

“I can already feel myself regretting making this video. If ten people are sitting at a table, and one of them is a Nazi, and the other nine people are not telling the Nazi to fuck off, then you’re at a table with ten Nazis. When Taylor Swift first started dating Travis Kelce and Travis Kelce was so open about his ‘respect’ for Donald Trump, I already knew we were reaching the beginning of the end, right? When she was posting photos with, like, other NFL wives and girlfriends or whatever, and they were all open MAGAs, and Taylor was happily posing with them on Instagram, I knew we were at the beginning of the end. I just didn’t know how long it would take for the general populace to catch on that it was the beginning of the end. You cannot be friends with people who have different opinions on you when those opinions are life and death for other people — when the Supreme Court ruling today has decided that certain people’s lives are genuinely worth more on paper than others. This is a black-and-white issue. I’m sorry, but there is no nuance when it comes to Trump. You’re either chill with the guy who has death camps in El Salvador or you’re not. And the only reason I’m making this video is because I’ve been very open about how much I love Taylor Swift during the last few years. So I do feel obligated to come on here and say she is MAGA — or at least, MAGA-adjacent. And I’m sorry, as a trans person, if you’re Nazi-adjacent, that’s still a Nazi to me. Do with that info whatever you will.”

Oh, wow — where to begin unraveling this gigantic yarn-ball of dangerous craziness? To start with, the Supreme Court ruling she references (see “NY Times on the Left’s Skrmetti Bungle: ‘Somebody Set Up Us the Bomb’,” June 21) was a consequence of transgender activists overplaying their hand, trying to claim that a state law prohibiting transgender “treatment” for children to be a form of sex-based discrimination that violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Pause for a moment to ask yourself whether those who voted to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868 intended for it to protect the use of synthetic hormones and surgery to turn children into carnival sideshow freaks. As a legal theory, this is bizarre, and yet “Cloud” (who identifies as a “trans person” despite apparently having undergone no such treatment herself) sees the Skrmetti ruling as “life or death.” This over-the-top rhetoric is entirely consistent with her lazy formula “MAGA = Nazi.” If you don’t vote for Democrats, you are a latter-day Hitler, she contends, and therefore . . . ?

Violence is the logical conclusion of a syllogism built on such premises, and good luck trying to convince Democratic voters that their belief system is based on dubious premises and fallacies. Having convinced themselves that they are “on the right side of history,” they consider it a hate crime to disagree with them. This fanaticism attracts bad people to the Democratic Party banner, and the bad people expect their party to represent their beliefs, which is why the Democrats are so crazy.

How can any sober person take seriously a party which attracts support from — and claims to represent the interests of — both transgender perverts and Islamic jihadists? “Queers for Palestine” sounds like the punch-line of a Monty Python sketch, but it’s both very real and very much a constituency of the Democratic Party. And nobody in the party is permitted to point this out. For the sake of maintaining unity, Democrats are required to pretend that these kooks are perfectly rational, and so while there is a constant intake of nutjobs, Democrats simultaneously suffer an exodus of sane people who simply get tired of playing along with this craziness. So this cosplay personality “Cloud” is not merely a typical Democratic voter, but is the typical Democratic voter.

She is the sine qua non of the Democratic Party’s existence, the vital linchpin holding together the coalition, and her attitude — Taylor Swift must be denounced because she is “MAGA-adjacent” — is basically the party platform now. This is what all Democrats believe. Cancel culture has become the top item on their policy agenda, and it is foolish to expect Democrats to turn back from their Progressive March Toward Totalitarian Conformity, because anyone who might disagree is banished.

It would be easy to laugh at the Party of Ugly Glasses and Questionable Hairstyle Choices, were it not for the fact that 75 million Americans voted for Democrats in the last election, and it’s entirely possible that Democrats will win a congressional majority in next year’s midterms.

We’re All Shocked — Shocked! — to Learn That the Democrat Who Tried to Murder Brett Kavanaugh Is a Psychotic Tranny

Posted on

Honestly, it caught me by surprise, but after the initial shock, I realized it was entirely predictable:

The man who attempted to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh identifies as a transgender woman and was deeply mentally ill and suicidal, according to court documents first obtained by The Daily Wire.
The Department of Justice is recommending that the defendant, 29-year-old Nicholas Roske, be sentenced to 30 years in prison for attempting to kill the Supreme Court justice in 2022, according to a Friday filing outlining the case against Roske. Roske pled guilty to the attempt to kill a United States Supreme Court Justice in April 2025, three years after authorities arrested him in Kavanaugh’s neighborhood, carrying a bag full of weapons and burglary tools.
A filing from Roske’s defense attorneys shows that Roske now goes by “Sophie Roske” and that his legal team will refer to him using female pronouns. A footnote on the filing, obtained exclusively by The Daily Wire, explains that the defense will not use Roske’s legal name “out of respect” for the would-be assassin.
“The case is captioned as United States v. Nicholas John Roske,” lawyers for Roske state. “That name remains Ms. Roske’s legal name, and she has not asked to recaption the case. Out of respect for Ms. Roske, the balance of this pleading and counsel’s in-court argument will refer to her as Sophie and use female pronouns.” . . .

(We wouldn’t want to “misgender” or “dead-name” the murderous lunatic, would we? That would be . . . wrong.)

Roske was using female identities online before the attempted murder, and now goes by the female name reflected in the defense filings.
Attorney General Pam Bondi told The Daily Wire that the attack is viewed as “political violence” and referred to Roske as a “disturbed individual.”
“This attempt against the life of a Supreme Court Justice was an attack on the entire judicial system that cannot go unpunished,” Bondi told The Daily Wire on Friday morning. “This Department of Justice condemns political violence and our prosecutors will ensure that this disturbed individual faces severe consequences for his deranged actions.” . . .

(So, Nicholas Roske started “using female identities online,” and then decided to murder a Supreme Court justice, because that’s what a real woman would do. Is that the defense argument?)

Though it was reported in 2022 that Roske portrayed himself as a self-styled “trans gamer girl” on the internet, more information about the attempted assassin’s gender identity has not been made available to the public. Roske’s story had largely vanished from public scrutiny, other than occasional updates on his sentencing and charges.
The Friday DOJ filings show that Roske “meticulously researched, planned, and attempted to assassinate at least one — but had a stated target of three — sitting judges of the United States Supreme Court” with the “explicit objective” of “single-handedly” altering “the Constitutional order for ideological ends.” He conducted internet searches for the homes of the four Justices, purchased a Glock 17 pistol, ammunition, a rail-mounted tactical light with laser sight, tactical gloves, non-slip grip socks, cable ties, pepper spray, a lock pick set, a screwdriver, and a wrecking bar.
“My mental health is too poor for me to fear death,” he wrote on Discord on March 18, 2022, to another user, according to the DOJ filing. “But prison sounds worse. To be monitored to the point where you can’t even kill yourself. So if I did kill someone I would definitely try to get away with it.”
In April 2022, he was googling shooting videos, school shooting videos, mass shootings, and shooters, searching how to “buy guns online” and “which person’s death would have the biggest impact on the world?”

You can read the whole thing at The Daily Wire. Has anybody else commented how strange it is that someone who acknowledged his own mental health issues would, instead of seeking help from a sane person, instead decided to discuss his problems with a fellow weirdo on Discord? But that’s how it is with deranged Democrats nowadays — they’re all 24/7 online, chatting with their fellow lunatics. And what I’ve been telling you for years is now more true than ever: Crazy People Are Dangerous.

Demonic Forces, Transgender Terrorism and Other ‘Random Coincidences’

Posted on

You are here for a reason. There is a meaning and purpose to your life, even though this may not be apparent to you. God has a plan, and somehow you exist as part of that plan, because guess what? The odds against any single sperm fertilizing an egg are so astronomical that your life is literally miraculous. Be grateful, therefore, and also be patient as God does in your life whatever it is that He intends for you.

Why did God put Juliette “Baldilocks” Ochieng in my life? During a dark and desperate time — longtime readers will recall the events of September 2009 — Ochieng came to my aid unsolicited, an answered prayer for which I will always be thankful. Now, over the weekend, information began to be discovered and shared online about an apparent network of far-left LGBTQIA+ activists who might be linked to Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old who assassinated Charlie Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University (UVU) in Orem, Utah. Among all the items I saw, nothing struck me as more potentially significant than the Facebook post depicted at the top of this post: In April 2023, a group calling itself Armed Queers Salt Lake City (AQSLC) distributed flyers on the UVU campus, listing the group’s communist/anarchist “principles.”

Anyone who investigates can easily discover that AQSLC is an actual organization that has gotten favorable publicity from Utah Public Radio (“Here’s how Palestinian and queer organizers in Utah are working together,” October 8, 2024) and negative attention from Young America’s Foundation (“University of Utah Sponsors Lecture by ‘Armed Queers’ Socialist Militia,” September 6, 2023). AQSLC has leaders and members known by name, including Ermiya Fanaeian, who is (or at least was) a student at the University of Utah (see her January 2024 opinion column in the university’s student newspaper). My point is that this isn’t some kind of paranoid right-wing conspiracy theory, but a documented reality — there are armed and organized radical “queer” activists in Utah.

The FBI appears to be taking this seriously:

The feds have widened their investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk to probe whether pro-trans, online groups and others connected with Tyler Robinson knew in advance about the plan to kill the MAGA influencer, The Post has learned.
Law enforcement sources said that investigators are examining leftist groups both in Utah and online to figure out if they helped him with the shooting — or at least heard it was going to happen.
The probe includes groups in online gaming community Steam, as well as a pro-trans organization called Armed Queers SLC, which took down their Instagram after Kirk was killed, the source confirmed.
Meanwhile, a slew of disturbing — though as yet unverified — social media posts about Kirk are raising questions about whether some people online may have known about the assassination before it happened on Sept. 10.
Taken together, they leave a trail of breadcrumbs for investigators who are trying to determine whether Robinson acted all on his own, or had accomplices.
Utah group Armed Queens SLC, whose logo features two high-powered rifle rounds similar to the one that struck Kirk, hosted a lecture on “queer resistance” at the University of Utah in September, 2023 — around 45 miles from Utah Valley University where the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder and Trump ally lost his life.
Flyers promoting the event hosted in partnership with self-described “leftist student organization” Mecha de U of U obtained by Young America’s Foundation feature a young woman clad in two ammo belts and clutching an AK-47, with her finger on the trigger.

Most people would be inclined to scoff at the idea of a violent transgender terrorism network. But unlike me, most people weren’t in the courtroom for the arraignment of the “Zizian” cult members. Evil is real.

Meanwhile, recounting a recent series of heinous murders — including Iryna Zarutska — Juliette Ochieng writes:

These murders are the works of lower order demoniacs. The Catholic school shooter was overt about who controlled him, but the others are no less diabolical obviously, and I think that most murders — not man-slaughters, not accidental killings, but intentional first degree murders — are perpetrated by demoniacs and have been possibly since Cain.
Are they ramping up? It’s difficult to say because, with the internet and, specifically, social media, we know about them nearly instantly instead of months or years or decades later. . . .
In this century, the devil can send his spiritual minions — demons — to countless corporeal targets faster and in greater numbers than ever before. Wi-Fi gives them instantaneous transport to various targets.
These random shooters, these mass shooters of children, these assassins, these stabbers, and these rapists are inhabited by mere foot soldiers in the kingdom of the devil. . . .

Read the whole thing, which Wombat tipped me to, after I sent him a link to my latest column:

It was late October, less than two weeks before Election Day, and the vice president of the United States was in a televised town hall appearance from a studio 20 miles south of Philadelphia. CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked Kamala Harris a direct question: “Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?” Harris answered: “Yes, I do. Yes, I do.” Then, as is her habit, Kamala wandered off into word-salad territory for a while before speaking of “a legitimate fear, based on Donald Trump’s words and actions, that he will not obey an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
How many times have Democrats called Trump and his supporters fascists? Might as well ask how many stars are in the sky, and the same can be said of Democrats labelling Trump a threat to “our democracy.” Campaigning in Iowa in June 2019, Joe Biden called Trump “literally an existential threat to America … a genuine threat to our core values.” That certainly wasn’t the only time Biden made such remarks. After an assassin’s bullet came within a fraction of an inch of killing Trump in July 2024, someone on Biden’s staff deleted many of his previous online reiterations of this theme, but not before they were screenshotted: “Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country,” was one of the deleted tweets, while another called Trump “a threat to our freedom … a threat to our democracy. He’s literally a threat to everything America stands for.” Not to mimic Joe’s habit of using the word “literally,” but it was literally the day before the assassination attempt against Trump that Biden told a crowd at a Michigan rally: “Most importantly, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, Trump is a threat to this nation.”
Democrats “cannot take responsibility,” Pelosi now insists, if some of their more fervent supporters actually believe their rhetoric and act as if it were true
Say these things often enough — as Democrats have been doing for years — and sooner or later, someone might take you literally (sorry, Joe) and act to eliminate what you have repeatedly called a fascist threat to democracy. . . .

Plot Twist: Did Lance Twiggs Just Become the World’s Most Famous Transgender?

Posted on

The question of Tyler Robinson’s motive in the assassination of Charlie Kirk took a very weird turn on Saturday:

A 22-year-old wannabe professional gamer who lived with Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin gave cops incriminating text messages leading to his arrest.
Lance Twiggs turned over Tyler Robinson, who lived with him in a three-bedroom apartment in Saint George, Utah, Daily Mail can reveal.
Twiggs showed police texts from Robinson about stashing a gun linked to Wednesday’s shooting of the prominent conservative activist at Utah Valley University (UVU), a law enforcement affidavit said.
His identity was revealed as separate reports emerged from Fox and the New York Post which stated that Robinson was living with a ‘transgender partner’ who is co-operating with the investigation. . . .

Let’s get more from the New York Post:

Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson appeared to have a fixation on furries — while his live-in transgender boyfriend espoused support for Joe Biden and joked about being mentally ill, according to social media posts linked to the pair.
Lance Twiggs, 22, an aspiring pro gamer and Robinson’s roommate, appears to have made a comment in a 2022 Reddit post stating, “We are riding with Biden on this glorious subreddit.”
Twiggs, whose family appears to be conservative Christians based in Utah, is transitioning from male to female and was in a relationship with with the 22-year-old Robinson, Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed Sunday.

They were “in a relationship.” Lance was Tyler’s “live-in transgender boyfriend.” Do I have to explain how that works? Would it help if I posted some diagrams from illustrated books that are probably in your child’s public school library? No, that’s probably not necessary. If you don’t know what the word sodomy means, you’re not going to get any further education here. But I just felt the need to call attention to the polite use of “boyfriend” and “relationship” to describe what was happening between Tyler and Lance (who also went by “Luna,” according to Andy Ngo).
“
Anyway, Axios got no fewer than six sources talking to them who confirmed the “romantic relationship” between Tyler and his boy/“girl” friend Lance/“Luna.” Furthermore, they report on the motive:

Authorities are investigating whether Tyler Robinson, suspected of killing Charlie Kirk, believed Kirk’s views on gender identity were “hateful” to people like Robinson’s transgender roommate.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) confirmed Sunday on ABC News’ “This Week” that Robinson lived with a romantic partner who was undergoing a gender transition.
Robinson’s roommate is cooperating with authorities, Cox said, but Robinson is not and has not confessed to Kirk’s killing. . . .
Federal and state law enforcement officials also are examining leftist groups in Utah to see whether they had knowledge of the alleged shooter’s plans beforehand, or if they lent material support to him afterward.

Anyway, there’s lots more out there but (a) my wife just returned from a trip to visit her family in Ohio, and (b) my boy Mac Jones is starting for the 49ers against the Saints today, so I’ll just let it go and y’all can pile up the info in the comments. Enjoy your Sunday.

‘It Rubs the Lotion On Its Skin’: Creepy Killer Trannies and Their Media Enablers

Robert Paul ‘Robin’ Westman and his ‘Kill Tump’ gun

Every website on the planet is full of commentary about the massacre at Annunciation Catholic Church School in Minneapolis, and I’ll just briefly quote from the New York Post article:

The deranged gunman who slaughtered two children and injured at least 17 others at a Catholic school in Minneapolis has been identified as a transgender woman — as disturbing videos posted by the shooter show a handwritten manifesto and “kill Donald Trump” and “for the children” scrawled on gun magazines.
Robin Westman, formerly Robert Westman, opened fire through the stained glass windows of a church at the Annunciation Catholic School — where he attended — during a celebratory back-to-school Mass filled with children around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Just hours before the cowardly massacre, Westman, 23, posted a series of twisted videos on YouTube, which included a manifesto, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed at a press conference.
In one 20-minute video, Westman flips through the disturbing handwritten manifesto. Much of it is written in a homespun code that uses Cyrillic characters and English phonetic words.
In the deranged writings, he gleefully fantasizes about “being that scary horrible monster standing over those powerless kids” and reverently confesses admiration for the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre.
Westman applied to change his birth name from Robert to Robin in Dakota County, Minn., when he was 17 years old, according to court documents. That name change was granted in January 2020.
The petition added that Westman “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.”

You can read the rest of that. People are feeling grief and anger, but what I mainly feel is complete disgust at ~90% of the news media in this country. You cannot hate the media more than they deserve to be hated.

Here we have a story about a demonic freak — a monster right out of a horror movie — who deliberately targeted school children, and the main concern of the media seems to be that honestly reporting the story might somehow incite “transphobia.” Let me just point out that the word “phobia” describes an irrational fear. When people look at this sick freak who murdered little children, is their fear irrational? Not at all. You’d be crazy if you didn’t fear dangerous weirdos like Robert/“Robin.”

Why do so many journalists treat such people as victims of social injustice and wrongful “hate”? Even when they commit mass murder, somehow they’re still victims, as far as the media are concerned.

Anyway the headline contains an allusion to an infamous scene in the 1988 thriller The Silence of the Lambs:

 

What that scene establishes about the killer “Buffalo Bill” is his utter lack of empathy for his victims. The girl is “it” — totally dehumanized, an object, whom he intends to murder and carve up to turn her skin into a “woman suit.” Did you know that “Buffalo Bill” is based on three real-life serial killers? One of them, Ed Gein, actually made such a “woman suit” from the skin of his victims. One of the characteristics of sociopaths and psychopaths is their inability to feel empathy toward others. They are so self-centered that, to them, others exist only to be used for whatever purpose the psychopath has in mind. Having skimmed over a few pages of Robert/“Robin” Westman’s journal (or “manifesto”), it’s so easy to see this lack of empathy, the inability to see others as human.

And really, isn’t this the case with most journalists? They don’t see the children shot by Robert/“Robin” as entirely human; no, those people are just statistics, fodder for a story, the core narrative of which is the real victimhood of the killer — the transgender maniac is the only person in the story to whom these journalists can relate.

They are as evil and depraved as he was. You can’t hate them enough.

Vegan Transgender Death Cult Update: Feds Seek Death Penalty in Vermont

Posted on Comments

Accused Zizian cult killer Teresa Youngblut

The latest news from the New York Post:

The Justice Department said Thursday it will seek the death penalty against a member of the cultlike Zizians group accused of killing a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Vermont in the latest Trump administration push for more federal executions.
Teresa Youngblut, 21, of Washington state, is among a group of radical computer scientists focused on veganism, gender identity and artificial intelligence who have been linked to six killings in three states. She’s accused of fatally shooting agent David Maland on Jan. 20, the same day President Donald Trump was inaugurated and signed a sweeping executive order lifting the moratorium on federal executions.
Youngblut initially was charged with using a deadly weapon against law enforcement and discharging a firearm during an assault with a deadly weapon. But the Trump administration signaled early on that more serious charges were coming, and a new indictment released Thursday charged her with murder of a federal law enforcement agent and other crimes.
In February, Attorney General Pam Bondi mentioned Maland as an example when saying she expects federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in cases involving the murder of law enforcement officers. And Youngblut’s attorneys recently said they had been given a July 28 deadline to offer preliminary evidence about why she should be spared such a punishment. They asked a judge last month to delay that deadline until January, but the judge declined.
At the time of the shooting, authorities had been watching Youngblut and her companion, Felix Bauckholt, for several days after a Vermont hotel employee reported seeing them carrying guns and wearing black tactical gear. She’s accused of opening fire on border agents who pulled the car over on Interstate 91. An agent fired back, killing Bauckholt and wounding Youngblut.
The pair were among the followers of Jack LaSota, a transgender woman also known as Ziz whose online writing attracted young, highly intelligent computer scientists who shared anarchist beliefs.
Members of the group have been tied to the death of one of their own during an attack on a California landlord in 2022, the landlord’s subsequent killing earlier this year, and the deaths of one of the members’ parents in Pennsylvania.

People have an uncanny knack of dying in the vicinity of this bizarre cult, and now the Zizian kook Teresa Youngblut is facing the federal death penalty because Trump won the election. Don’t know about you, but death penalties for crazy cult members? Yeah, I voted for that.
