NAME THAT PARTY: US Senate Candidate From PA Threatens To Kill Trump, Congressman’s Daughter: Affidavit.

A Pennsylvania man who recently launched a campaign for U.S. Senate is accused of leaving a series of violent voicemails threatening President Donald Trump and a member of Congress’s family, according to unsealed federal court documents on Friday, May 1.

Raymond Eugene Chandler III, of Wilkinsburg, was arrested and charged after a federal investigation into repeated threats made over voicemail, authorities said.

Chandler is charged with influencing, impeding, or retaliating against a federal official by threatening a family member and by threat, according to the affidavit.

The criminal complaint, unsealed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleges Chandler left multiple messages targeting an unnamed member of Congress and President Trump between April 2025 and April 2026.

In one voicemail on April 18, 2026, Chandler allegedly described a graphic scenario in which the congressman and his daughter would be attacked, saying they would be “pull[ed]… out of your house” and have their “throat… slit,” according to the affidavit.

Days later, on April 29, 2026, Chandler allegedly left another message urging the lawmaker to assassinate President Trump, telling them to “walk into the Oval Office with a gun in your hand… put it to the President’s head… and… pull the trigger,” the affidavit states.

SCAM:

…The key is that these proposals would evade a vote of the public and be achieved through Congress. With a hostile takeover of the Court, these figures would be free to pursue radical changes to the political system that would guarantee their hold on power.

In 2011, Breitbart breaks down how Frankfurt School Marxists like Adorno, Marcuse, & Horkheimer escaped Germany for 1940s Golden Age California -only to hate the endless cheer, productivity, and capitalism.

MINNESOTA: A CAUTIONARY TALE.

Don’t be Minnesota.

From the Minneapolis Star Tribune,

Don’t Minnesota my state: Land of 10,000 Lakes becomes a political punching bag.

The Star Tribune is completely baffled by this development, which they view as wholly undeserved. The Star Tribune blames “conservative candidates” and Trump for the phenomenon.

The Star Tribune tracks down a political science professor who attributes the state’s unwanted status entirely to a Trump “grudge.”

No, I think there’s more to Minnesota’s recent PR decline than that:

Dinesh D’Souza didn’t just “let his daughter marry” anybody.

He let her marry Brandon Gill because the dude is the kind of patriot who walks into the lions’ den with receipts** and doesn’t flinch.🔥
