Political violence in the United States no longer lives in the realm of theory. We are watching it unfold in real time. Assassination attempts, targeted harassment, and violent disruptions have become disturbingly common. The chaos at Berkeley in November offers a bracing reminder.

A majority of Americans now believe a political candidate will be assassinated within the next five years. We have already witnessed two assassination attempts against President Trump, the brutal murder of Charlie Kirk, and a foiled plot to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Increasingly, this violence draws fuel from activist organizations that exploit tax-exempt status to advance their agendas through intimidation rather than debate.

If the government is serious about de-escalating political violence, it must lawfully deploy every available tool.

That exploitation must end. The federal government already has the tools to act. It should use them — starting with the IRS.

We cannot tolerate nonprofits mobilizing radicals under the banner of free speech while trampling the First Amendment rights of others. At Berkeley, activist groups operated as coordinated foot soldiers. One organization, “By Any Means Necessary,” lived up to its name. Protesters circulated flyers depicting Charlie Kirk’s assassination, labeled attendees “fascists,” and openly called for President Trump’s removal.

This is not debate. It is coercion.

Growing numbers of activists no longer seek persuasion but submission. Polling reflects the danger. Roughly one-third of Americans under 45 now say political violence is sometimes justified. Berkeley showed what that belief looks like when put into practice.

The moment demands a firm, whole-of-government response. As a former state criminal prosecutor and Senate chief of staff, I understand that crises require decisive action. Protecting citizens and enforcing the law are core functions of government. The time to act has arrived.

The first step toward dismantling the nonprofit infrastructure that enables political violence is straightforward: The IRS should revoke tax-exempt status from organizations that finance or coordinate violent activity. Cutting off these funding streams deprives radical networks of oxygen.

Critics will claim this amounts to political targeting. That claim collapses under scrutiny.

The real problem is that the IRS has lost focus. For years, the agency engaged in overt political targeting — scrutinizing conservative groups while leaving ideologically aligned organizations untouched. That imbalance allowed certain nonprofits to operate with near impunity while exploiting the protections of tax-exempt status.

Restoring evenhanded enforcement does not mean ignoring violations on the left. It means applying the law as written. The IRS has both the authority and the obligation to act when nonprofits facilitate violence. Looking the other way is not neutrality. It is abdication.

Consider Antifa, which has been designated a domestic terrorist organization yet continues to benefit indirectly from nonprofit support structures. That contradiction should not stand.

If the government is serious about de-escalating political violence, it must lawfully deploy every available tool. That includes the IRS. The assassination attempts against President Trump should have been a wake-up call. The murder of Charlie Kirk should have erased any remaining illusions.

Subversive actors are gaming the nonprofit system to tear the country apart — using tax-exempt dollars to silence, intimidate, and physically endanger those exercising their most basic constitutional rights.

We either enforce the law now, or we accept that the violence will escalate.

An 81-year old widower and Navy veteran said he was forced to seek help through a note on his mailbox after his live-in caretaker became allegedly abusive.

The victim, who didn't want to be identified publicly, said that 60-year-old Denise Williams took away his phone and his car keys after getting angry with him at his house in Lantana, Florida.

'She jumped on my chest and started grabbing it, my phone, and she finally got it and scratched me.'

"Every month, every day, she got a little bit worse," the man said to WPBF-TV.

Williams got so angry at the state of the man's bathroom that he tried to call 911 after she yelled at him. She stopped him by squeezing his hand until he could no longer stand the pain.

"She jumped on my chest. I was lying down, trying to get my phone, and she jumped on my chest and started grabbing it, my phone, and she finally got it and scratched me," he said.

Williams then took steps to ensure that he not call for help, according to the victim.

"Then she grabbed my phone, the two house phones, the landline phones, and my car keys, dumped them in her room, and locked the door," he added.

He decided to scrawl a plea for help on a note left on his mailbox.

"Call the police," it read.

The mail carrier saw the note and reported it to his supervisor. That supervisor reported it to the Lantana Police, who responded to the call and found Williams at a nearby gas station with the man's debit card and checkbook.

Williams was charged with numerous counts, including battery on an elderly victim and robbery. She was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail.

Despite the ordeal, the man says he's worried Williams has nowhere to go. He said she had worked for him for about two and a half years and been paid $2,000 a month to care for him.

"I'm sorry for her. I really am," he said. "Because she has no place to go right now, other than where she's going after she gets out of the hospital."

Minnesota fraud schemes allegedly stole $9 billion in taxpayer dollars under Governor Tim Walz, with millions reportedly diverted to Somalia and terrorist groups.

Less than four months after announcing his re-election campaign, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) has had a major change of heart.

“This is really, really sad news that Tampon Tim Walz announced this morning that he is dropping out of the 2026 Minnesota gubernatorial race,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

“Tim Walz is out. He’s out in 2026. And he actually is out in large part due to Nick Shirley, a YouTuber who exposed a rampant Somalian fraud that is happening in Minnesota. And I don’t want to call him a random YouTuber guy to discredit him,” she continues.

“He heard about the fraud that was happening in Minnesota. He went out there. He had a guy that gave him all of this research of all of the fraudulent day care centers that are stealing millions of taxpayer dollars,” she says.

In videos posted to YouTube and social media, Shirley knocks on the doors of these Somali day cares and asks if he can speak to someone about his son potentially attending. Each time, he’s either shooed away or told that his son cannot attend the empty day care.

“So Tim Walz has some explaining to do. And instead of that, in his announcement, he blames everybody but himself actually. He said, ‘We’ve got conspiracy theorist right-wing YouTubers breaking into day care centers ... and demanding access to our children,’” Gonzales comments, shocked.

Walz went on to claim that President Trump is demonizing “our Somali neighbors” and “wrongly confiscating childcare funding that Minnesotans rely on.”

“I came to the conclusion that I can’t give a political campaign my all. Every minute I spend defending my own political interests would be a minute I can’t spend defending the people of Minnesota against the criminals who prey on our generosity and the cynics who prey on our differences,” Walz added.

“So he’s actually saying, ‘No, no, no, no, no. It’s your fault. And actually, the criminals are the victims,’ is what Tim Walz is saying,” Gonzales says.

“I would highly encourage people to continue finding all of this fraud that is happening and connecting all of the dots because I feel like it’s a pretty good bet that it can all be connected to Ilhan Omar and Tim Walz,” she continues, adding, “And by the way, Tim Walz should have been gone a long time ago.”
