New US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro: Elias Rodriguez Charged With Murder in Shooting Deaths of Israeli Embassy Staffers, Could Face Death Penalty

Newly appointed interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro held a press conference Thursday afternoon to announce charges against 31-year-old Elias Rodriguez in the shooting deaths Wednesday night of two Israeli Embassy staffers, a couple who were soon to be engaged to be married, 30-year-old Yaron Lischinsky and 26-year-old Sarah Milgrim, as they left an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in downtown D.C.

Rodriguez has been charged in federal court with two counts of first degree murder and felony charges of causing the death of a person through the use of a firearm, discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, and murder of foreign officials. Pirro said Rodriguez was in court Thursday afternoon where he was informed by the judge he could face the death penalty. Pirro said more charges are possible with the investigation focusing on terrorism and hate crimes.

The charging document says that surveillance camera videos show Rodriguez crossed the street to where the couple were waiting to cross the street, got behind them, then pulled out a handgun and opened fire on both. The document states Rodriguez kept firing at the couple after they collapsed on the ground, even as a wounded Sarah Milgrim tried to crawl away. Rodriguez reloaded while Milgrim sat up, then fired at her again. Twenty-one 9mm shell cases were reported found at the crime scene.
The newly filed charges filed against Elias Rodriguez expose the depravity and callousness of the murders. He didn't just kill Sarah and Yaron- he made sure to finish them.

Rodriguez said he “did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza,” and cried out “free, free Palestine.” He bought the gun in Chicago five years ago.
Rodriguez, according to court document,s "purchased the firearm on March 6, 2020, in the state of Illinois."
He flew to D.C. from Chicago May 20th, officials said at the press conference moments ago he is believed to have traveled here for a conference related to his job.

Officials said Rodriguez flew into D.C. from his home city of Chicago on Tuesday, apparently for a work related conference. They appealed for information by the public on his movements before the shooting Wednesday night.

Victor Reacts: This Is Almost Too Stupid to Be True – NYC Transgender Homeless Shelter (VIDEO)

Democrats continue to somehow subvert the lowest of expectations as they fight their woke crusades.
In a first ever virtue signal, New York City is set to open a transgender only homeless shelter.
The Gateway Pundit reported,
The city of New York is opening the nation’s first transgender-only homeless shelter.
The shelter, a partnership between a local LGBTQ nonprofit and the city government, will cost the city an extraordinary $65 million and will be the first transgender homeless shelter in the nation.
“ We’ve watched so many other corporations and foundations and businesses just like completely turn their back on the community and the city didn’t do it,” said Sean Ebony Coleman, founder and CEO of Destination Tomorrow, the nonprofit that will manage the shelter for the city.
“The city is keeping in line with what New York City has always been, a sanctuary city, a safe haven, but more importantly, a trendsetter when it comes to LGBTQ rights.”
The opening comes amid a broader homelessness crisis in New York City, where more than 100,000 people are estimated to be without stable housing on any given night.
The city’s shelter system is already stretched thin, with demand rising due to a combination of economic hardship, an influx of illegal aliens ,and a severe shortage of affordable housing.
Who cares about all the other homeless people in New York City each night, the transgender homeless come first.
Truth has become stranger than parody. With any luck, Democrats will continue down this path of self destruction that has been so thoroughly rejected by the American people.

Suspect in Deadly Montana Bar Shooting Captured After a Weeklong Manhunt

A weeklong manhunt has come to a close with the apprehension of Michael Paul Brown, a 45-year-old Army veteran, following a fatal mass shooting at The Owl Bar in Anaconda.
On August 1, 2025, at approximately 10:30 a.m., Brown entered The Owl Bar, where he lived next door, and opened fire with a rifle, killing four local residents: bartender Nancy Lauretta Kelley (64) and patrons Daniel Edwin Baillie (59), David Allen Leach (70), and Tony Wayne Palm (74).
A multi-agency effort, including state law enforcement, the U.S. Marshals Service, and federal resources, scoured the mountainous terrain surrounding Anaconda. Helicopters, K9 units, and tactical teams were deployed across the region.
A reward of $7,500 to $10,000 was offered for information leading to Brown’s capture.
On Friday, Montana Governor Greg Gianforte confirmed Brown’s arrest via social media, acknowledging the rapid and resolute law enforcement response.
“The Anaconda shooter Michael Brown has been apprehended. Incredible response from law enforcement officers across Montana. Thank you to all partners for your commitment to the search. May God continue to be with the families of the four victims still grieving their loss,” Gianforte.

CNN reported:
Brown had been on the run since the “biggest” shooting in the state of Montana in a decade. He was arrested around 2 p.m. local time Friday near the search area in Anaconda and is now in the custody of Anaconda-Deer Lodge County authorities, according to the Montana Department of Justice.
Brown, an Army veteran, was seen on security footage fleeing The Owl Bar, where the fatal shooting occurred, investigators said. Since then, he had been sought by authorities representing at least 38 local, state and federal agencies traversing challenging terrain in the western Montana wilderness.
“I am proud of the unrelenting law enforcement effort this week to find and arrest Michael Paul Brown. The support we’ve seen for the community of Anaconda from across the state and the nation has also been remarkable,” Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen said in a statement following the arrest. “The families and friends of the victims remain in my prayers.”
[…]
Brown served as an armor crewman in the US Army from January 2001 to May 2005 and was deployed to Iraq from February 2004 to March 2005, Lt. Col. Ruth Castro, a spokesperson with the US Army, previously told CNN.
Brown’s niece, Clare Boyle, previously told CNN he struggled with his mental health during his time in the Army and was never the same after his service. Brown’s mental health got progressively worse with the passing of both of his parents, Boyle said.

WATCH: Fire Ravages World-Famous Mosque-Cathedral in Cordoba, Spain

Fire breaks out in the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption in Cordoba.
More than a tourist attraction, more than an architectural treasure, the Mosque-Cathedral in the Andalusian city of Cordoba, Spain is a historical monument and a spiritual center – so, all around the world, both the faithful and the history lovers are mourning as a massive fire consumes the building complex.
Newsweek reported:
“Firefighters are responding to the blaze at the major tourist attraction and UNESCO-listed heritage site in Andalusia. Footage shows thick smoke billowing out from the millennia-old building as flames lapped at its roof.
Firefighters from the city of Córdoba are still battling to extinguish the fire at the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba but local reports say the blaze is mostly contained as of 10 p.m. local time. The extent of damage is not yet clear.”

Being simultaneously one of the most significant buildings both in Islamic and in Christian architectural history, it began as a grand mosque in the 8th century and was transformed into a cathedral in 1236.
“The Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba, officially called the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, was built as a mosque over 200 years starting 785 CE. The mosque opened in 988 CE, and remained a Muslim site for nearly 300 years before the Christian conquest of Cordoba in 1236 CE.
The structure converted to a cathedral, undergoing additional modifications and building until one final, major addition in 1607 CE.”
