Soros-Backed DA Drops Charges on Alleged Attempted Killer—He 'Finishes the Job' 24 Hours Later

 Twitchy 



"An illegal immigrant in Virginia has been arrested on charges of homicide just a day after he was let out of jail on a separate offense by a progressive district attorney whose campaign was funded by George Soros.

Steve Descano, prosecutor for Fairfax County, Virginia, dropped all charges against a 23-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador with a criminal history, allowing the suspect to go free into the community, only to be picked up by police on a suspected murder charge a day later, local media outlet WJLA reported.

The Fairfax County Police Department announced Wednesday afternoon that officers had arrested Marvin Morales-Ortez as the suspect in a fatal shooting that occurred outside a home in Reston earlier in the day.

Morales-Ortez had a long list of felony arrests in the county, but was released from jail on Tuesday after Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney's Office dropped the charges for brandishing a firearm and assaulting and injuring someone.

Descano's campaign for his current job, the top law enforcement official in a Virginia county outside Washington, was bankrolled in 2019 by the Justice and Public Safety PAC, whose sole funder is George Soros.

Soros is a billionaire who has made a name for himself by financing campaigns for progressive candidates in the United States and globally.

Fellows at the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank in Washington wrote in 2020 that to gain the financial backing of Soros, "rogue prosecutors such as Descano kowtow to the movement because it bankrolls their campaigns. ... Once elected, they’re expected to deliver on their promises."

VDH: ‘You Don’t Criticize People in Oedipean Fashion That Are Killed by Their Sons’

Victor Davis Hanson

"In this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler discuss the tragic murder of director-activist Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle, and the unfortunate reaction by President Donald Trump to the slaying."


. . . "So, when the Truth Social posting from Trump comes out, and he says he died because of Trump Derangement Syndrome or the anger, I don’t know if he’s referring to he thinks the son was angry at his father’s politics. I doubt that seriously. I don’t know where any people in Brentwood who are pro-Trump, people of any mental state." 
"But the point is this: I think that’s what you were hinting on is you can’t get angry. I can get angry. You can get angry. We’re angry at all those people like [Reps.] Jasmine Crockett, Ilhan Omar, who said terrible things about Charlie Kirk after he was dead. But you have no moral credibility if you condemn that and you don’t condemn what Trump said.". . .

Viral Target Meltdown Update: Elderly Woman Berated Over Charlie Kirk Tee Speaks Out, Unhinged Nurse Begs Forgiveness as Hospital Pleads ‘Stop Flooding Our Lines!’

The Gateway Pundit  

"Jeanie Beeman, the 72-year-old Target employee who was berated for wearing a Charlie Kirk “Freedom” shirt in the now-viral video, has come forward to speak to the media, and Enloe Health, Michelea Ponce’s employer, has held a press conference asking people to stop calling and demanding her termination.

"Ponce herself has also released a statement, which is not written in the way she herself speaks, begging for forgiveness after the Chico Police announced that they have dropped their investigation into the incident.

"Additionally, the GiveSendGo fundraiser launched by this reporter to send Beeman on vacation has now raised over $215,000.

"The incident, which occurred in a Target store in Chico, California, was uploaded to TikTok by Ponce herself. However, she shut down all of her social media accounts shortly after The Gateway Pundit caught it and covered it on Monday."   Much more here  

Democrats unite against Sydney terror — but Fetterman warns party’s anti-Israel rift boiling over

 Fox News

"I can’t imagine why so many parts of people in my party continue to back away or to kind of deflect… condemning these kinds of horrific acts of terrorism."


"Members of the Democratic Party were quick to condemn the horrific Hanukkah attack in Australia, but one senator says their response clashes with years of anti-Israel rhetoric inside the party.

"Sunday's mass shooting at Sydney’s Bondi Beach left at least 15 people dead and dozens wounded. Australian authorities labeled the shooting an act of terrorism targeting the Jewish community. It sparked swift condemnation from top party politicians, from the center to the left, as well as a chorus of calls by leading Democrats to combat antisemitism.

"But Democratic Sen. John Fetterman, a fierce supporter of Israel, warned of consequences for his party's discord over the more than two years of fighting between the Jewish State and Hamas in Gaza. The senator criticized fellow Democrats for embracing what he called openly hostile, anti-Israel rhetoric that he said is now "becoming more and more part of my party’s platform."

"Fetterman's comments come as the attack is likely to intensify pressure on the party, which is already facing internal fractures over the Israel–Hamas conflict that could define its 2026 electoral messaging.

"While condemnation of the attacks was uniform among Democrats, the party has been anything but unified when it comes to bloodshed in Gaza, which was sparked by the bloody Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas on Israel.

"Nearly 1,200 people in Israel were killed after Hamas ambushed them, with over 250 people taken hostage. In the more than two years since the attack, over 70,000 Palestinians, many of them women and children, were killed during Israel's military response, according to the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza.

"Tensions between Democrats over the fighting flared at the DNC's summer meeting in August, as a party committee voted on a symbolic resolution calling for an arms embargo and suspension of U.S. military aid to Israel, which has long been the top American ally in the Middle East." . . .

The BBC is still downplaying the slaughter of Jews  . . . "You only had to look at a screen last Sunday to see what “globalise the intifada” means. Jews running for their lives, gunned down in cold blood by murderous terrorists.

"The BBC however still does not seem to get it, despite the impact that “intifada” has had on Jews across the world.

"In their reporting today, BBC News described the notorious Palestinian “intifada” of recent decades as “a largely unarmed and popular uprising”.

“ 'Popular” maybe, but “unarmed”?" . . .

Brown Presser Gets Intense Over Lack of Cameras, ICE, and Who Was in the Room During Shooting

RedState

Phil Holloway

"It's now into the fifth day since the shooting at Brown University, where someone killed two students and injured nine. Meanwhile, the press conferences have projected incompetence from the authorities, which hasn't given the public a lot of confidence that they're going to find the killer. 

"On Wednesday, they announced they had a second person they wanted to speak to, who they characterized as having been in the vicinity of the primary person of interest for whom they are looking. 

"They already released one "person of interest" who they had briefly detained. 

"One issue that has most angered the public has been the question of surveillance cameras, and why the cameras at the school didn't reveal more about the suspect in this case? The police are now canvassing the area to see if cameras from other residences or businesses may have information in the case.

"A reporter put officials on the spot at the end of the press conference when he asked about those cameras and if the reason there weren't any that were in operation in the area in question was that they were a sanctuary city, and having cameras would help ICE. Listen as this guy just lights them up; he lets them know people are very angry and concerned about this. " . . .

Brown University Received a Letter from 34 Human Rights Groups in August Requesting They Disable Their CCTV System

'Hunted, killed in cold blood': Mtn. Brook native Ella Cook targeted for conservative beliefs

 Mark Halperin: Ella Cook Possibly 'Target' of Brown Shooting

“Typically, when we see mass school shooters, they don’t just stop and walk away, right? Usually they keep going until they’re apprehended by police, shot dead, or they kill themselves,” said Duke. “And the other thing is if the police are telling Brown students that they are safe, they don’t have to shelter in place anymore, but they don’t have a suspect in custody, I think that also suggests that this was some kind of targeted attack.”

'Hunted, killed in cold blood': Mtn. Brook native Ella Cook targeted for conservative beliefs in Brown University killing, College Republicans of America founder says  . . . "The founder and chairman of the College Republicans of America, William Branson Donahue, said he believes Cook was targeted.

" 'I am filled with rage and sadness to learn that our Brown College Republicans VP, Ella Cook, has been identified as one of the victims from the attack," he stated. "I'm told she was allegedly targeted for her conservative beliefs, hunted, and killed in cold blood. Losing Charlie [Kirk] three months ago rocked our worlds. The entire College Republicans community is weeping this evening, learning of the news. This was an attack on our family." . . .

The Wereth 11 Massacre During the Battle of the Bulge

 The Tunnel Wall: December 12, 2024

If only we could go back in time and undo the wrongs done to people like these. TD


The Wereth 11 Massacre During the Battle of the Bulge - Warfare History

"When German prisoners of war arrived at Camp Gruber, Tech. Sgt. William Edward Pritchett was compelled to deliver a concern to his captain. The men of the 333rd noticed the POWs were fed better than the 333rd and that white GIs showed more courtesy and respect for the Germans than to their fellow black comrades. McLeod forwarded those remarks to Kelsey, but they were shooed aside. 

In that regard we have become so much better now that we were then. These are the people to whom reparations are owed, not the Joy Reids, Al Sharptons and Letitia James's who grate on America's ears today. TD

. . . "What happened next is reasonably well documented. After speaking briefly to his subordinate, SS Sturmbahnführer (Major) Werner Pötschke, Peiper moved on ahead. About an hour later, some time after 2:15PM, the Americans were assembled in a field. German machine gunners then opened fire and massacred them. SS men walked among the wounded, shooting some of them in the head; and they also murdered a Belgian widow who owned a local café. Consideration was given to massacring other Belgian civilians who witnessed the atrocity, but the Germans were not particularly interested in concealment, and they were eager to move on. It was thanks to this that some Americans were able to feign death and escape afterwards. By Waffen SS standards, it was a sloppy massacre; but eighty-four defenseless American prisoners of war lay dead." . . .
. . . "News of the atrocity appeared almost immediately, thanks to those Americans who were able to escape and make it back to their lines. The bodies of those murdered were not recovered, however, until the following month. In the short term, the Malmedy massacre incensed the Americans fighting in this sector, as few other atrocities had managed to do. And the US Army didn’t forget. Unfortunately, the war crimes trial that took place from May-July 1946 on the site of the Dachau Concentration Camp was botched by American prosecutors. Perhaps more important, the SS men who had been so casual about committing murder on December 17, 1944, now closed ranks to defend each other and foment grossly exaggerated claims of torture at the hands of their captors. In the end, the perpetrators, including Peiper, escaped with no more than several years’ imprisonment. Yet justice has a long arm. Peiper, an unrepentant Nazi to the end and living brazenly in France, was himself murdered when unknown assassins set his house on fire on July 14 (Bastille Day), 1976." . . .Full article here
