Flotsam and Jetsam - Israeli Diplomats Murdered in DC

Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim
Late Wednesday night, a lone gunman, now identified as a rando leftist from Chicago, approached a young couple outside of the Jewish museum in Washington DC and began firing, while spewing pro-Gazan clichรฉs. When the young woman refused to die, he reloaded and finished her, then walked into the museum, and surrendered. Stephen Kruiser at PJM, Tragedy In D.C. as Two Israeli Embassy Staffers Assassinated. Secretary Kristi Noem @Sec_Noem "Two Israeli Embassy staff were senselessly killed tonight near the Jewish Museum in Washington DC. We are actively investigating and working to get more information to share. Please pray for the families of the victims. We will bring this depraved perpetrator to justice." Matt Vespa at TownHall, Two Israeli Embassy Staffers Assassinated in DC Tonight. Breaking911 @Breaking911, "PRES. TRUMP: "These horrible D.C. killings, based obviously on antisemitism, must end, NOW! Hatred and Radicalism have no place in the USA. Condolences to the families of the victims. So sad that such things as this can happen! God Bless You ALL!"" Ace, Gunman Murders Two Israeli Embassy Staffers Outside Jewish History Museum in DC, Shouting "Free, Free Palestine". "The media's not interested in this story. That's a big clue about the killer. "A senseless act of violence rocked the Israeli diplomatic community in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night, when two young embassy staffers--Yaron Lischinsky, 28, and Sarah Milgrim--were fatally shot in the street outside the Capital Jewish Museum." ๐—ก๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ต ๐—•๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ด ♛ ✡︎ @NiohBerg "In the charges against Rodriguez, we now know Sarah Milgrim tried to crawl away, heavily wounded. He walked after her and shot her again ans again until he had to reload, and she was dead. Monster." From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 5.22.25,  This Ain’t Hell, Pro Palestine man shoots and kills two Israeli diplomats, From the Free Bacon, Suspected Israeli Embassy Shooter Worked for Woke Education Group Backed by Ford, MacArthur Foundations 
"The 30-year-old suspect in the slaying of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C., was, until the middle of 2024, an employee of a left-wing nonprofit underwritten by some of the country’s largest philanthropic foundations that claims to be devoted to chronicling the lives of "historically significant Black Americans."

Elias Rodriguez, an anti-Israel radical and longtime left-wing activist, was arrested on Wednesday evening at Washington, D.C.’s Capital Jewish Museum shortly after shouting "Free Palestine!" and "I did it for Gaza!" Moments earlier, Israeli embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were gunned down at close range, witnesses told police."

According to his LinkedIn profile, Rodriguez worked as an oral history researcher from March 2023 to July 2024 at The HistoryMakers, a nonprofit that claims to be "committed to preserving and making widely accessible the untold personal stories of both well-known and unsung African Americans." His biography was removed from the organization’s website Thursday morning.

Andy Ngo @MrAndyNgo "Elias Rodriguez, the Chicago far-left activist accused of shooting dead two Israelis outside the Capital Jewish Museum, has a long history of support for BLM, Palestine, communist and anti-white causes. Those groups have been trying to scrub his associations with them by deleting articles and pages where he is mentioned. While being arrested after the killings, Rodriguez shouted, "Free, free Palestine!"" I Meme Therefore I Am @ImMeme0, "D.C. shooter Elias Rodriguez was affiliated with the Party for Socialism and Liberation and expressed both anti-capitalist and anti-white sentiments. Shocker!!" Toni Airaksinen looks into the Shooter's Manifesto: Why Two Israeli Embassy Workers Were Murdered Last Night. "In it, Elias Rodriguez condemns Israel, makes no mention of Hamas starting the War." I'm sure the WaPoo will shortly announce there is no known motive, and that we may never have one. Quote AG @AGHamilton29, "The suspect in the anti-Israel terrorist DC shooting, Elias Rodriguez, appears to be from the “party for socialism and liberation” in Chicago. A far-left activist. x.com/aghamilton29/s…" Insty, IF THERE’S A WAR ON CIVILIZATION, MAYBE CIVILIZATION SHOULD START FIGHTING BACK? Scott Jennings @ScottJenningsKY "The violent war on western civilization emanates from the radical left. Make no mistake - it is here right now and we cannot look the other way." Scott Jennings @ScottJenningsKY "After the execution of two Israeli diplomats on our soil, let me be clear: The fight for the future of Western Civilization and our culture is happening NOW. The barbarians are at the gate. America stands with Israel and the Jewish people, and we cannot allow our culture to be overrun by violent, leftist radicals." The barbarians are inside the walls. 'Becca Downs at TownHall reports a CNN Anchor Worried About Pro-Hamas Optics After Tragic Murder of Israeli Embassy Staffers. Marina Medvin @MarinaMedvin "After the shooting, the CNN anchor’s main concern is the optics against anti-Israel protesters, not the safety of Jews. Her guest pushes back. It’s an incredible moment of television." Fox, Interim US Attorney for the District of Washington Jeanine Pirro announces charges in deadly DC antisemitic attack, death penalty on the table.

Fox reports Biden Education Dept put priority on pronouns, left backlog of nearly 200 antisemitism complaints. "Under Biden, Civil Rights Office put priority on cases related to pronoun usage, 'book banning,' official says."

After several bad days in the courtroom, Trump wins a big one. Tom Fitton@TomFitton "In a massive blow to the permanent administrative state, the Supreme Court, in 6-3 order, lifts stay on @RealDonaldTrump firings of Democratic appointees to "independent agencies." Key majority finding does not augur well for the future of constitutionally suspect agencies that protect appointees from being fired by the Chief Executive: Because the Constitution vests the executive power in the President, see Art. II, §1, cl. 1, he may remove without cause executive officers who exercise that power on his behalf, subject to narrow exceptions recognized by our precedents, see Seila Law LLC v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 591 U. S. 197, 215−218 (2020). The stay reflects our judgment that the Government is likely to show that both the NLRB and MSPB exercise considerable executive power. But we do not ultimately decide in this posture whether the NLRB or MSPB falls within such a recognized exception; that question is better left for resolution after full briefing and argument. The stay also reflects our judgment that the Government faces greater risk of harm from an order allowing a removed officer to continue exercising the executive power than a wrongfully removed officer faces from being unable to perform her statutory duty." Sundance at CTH, Supreme Court Rules Allowing Executive Branch to Fire Executive Appointees (NLRB and MSPB)." At the Volokh Report, Josh Blackmun notes Roberts Swings To The Left In St. Isidore, To The Right In Wilcox "In the span of a single day, Chief Justice Roberts continues his attempts at moderation for the sake of moderation without any actual reasoning," and Justice Kagan Tells Us What She Really Thinks About President Trump "The Court "hand[s] the President the most unitary, meaning also the most subservient, administration since Herbert Hoover (and maybe ever)."

Center Square, CA, Analysis: House GOP budget could cost Medi-Cal nearly $40 billion per year, bankrupt CA "California Gov. Gavin Newsom slammed congressional proposals that would, among other things, cut Medicaid funding to states that provide taxpayer-financed non-emergency health care to illegal immigrants. The governor was also critical of congressional proposals to require able-bodied Medicaid recipients to work, volunteer or be in school part-time, and limit states’ abilities to tax Medicaid providers higher to engineer increased federal Medicaid funding. A cumulative analysis from The Center Square has found that these three proposals could cost the state nearly $40 billion per year in lost state and federal revenue." From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 5.22.25, EBL, Big Beautiful Bill passes in House, MAGA No Tax On Tips passes in Senate. Ben Whedon at JTN reports Decade after Tea Party movement, conservatives still unable to meaningfully cut debt "“The US credit rating being downgraded is evidence of how our fiscal house is out of order,” Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., a member of the House Committee on the Budget said Monday." Politicians main power is to take a little money away from a lot of people, and give it to a few, who will be grateful, kick some back, and help them get re-elected.

Matt Vespa hears from CNN: Those Chants About Killing White Farmers Don't Really Mean That. Western Lensman @WesternLensman "CNN attempts to explain why the “K*ll the Boer” song being sung by South African political leaders would “potentially appear to be more literal" for people lacking "historical context." Don Surber, Media sides with genocide, "The DNC password of the day is AMBUSHES." Kurt Schlichter @KurtSchlichter "The same people who told you that Joe Biden was perfectly fine are also telling you that the people who want to murder you don’t really want to murder you." Quote The Washington Post @washingtonpost, "In an extraordinary exchange, President Donald Trump amplified false claims that White Afrikaners have been victims of a genocide in a meeting with South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa in the Oval Office." Leah Barkoukis at TownHall says Ramaphosa Probably Should Have Double Checked His Guest's Story Before Bringing Him to Trump Meeting. White golfer told harrowing stories. "“My dad was a property developer as well as a part-time farmer, and, yeah, some of his buddy farmers got killed,” he told Trump. “The farm is still going. My brothers run it, but it's a constant battle with farms. … They’re trying to burn the farms down, to chase you away. So it is, it is a concern to try make a living as a farmer."

Dustin Grage@GrageDustin "It’s not flashy, and most people won’t pay attention—but this might be the most important executive order he will sign so far." Quote Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh "BREAKING: President Trump is set to sign executive orders boosting NUCLEAR POWER in the USA, easing regulations on approvals for new reactors, possibly tomorrow. He will do so by invoking the COLD WAR-era Defense Production Act, declaring an emergency over our reliance on Russia and China for nuclear deployment and to streamline processes to get them built - Reuters. This is big."

At NYPo, Michael Goodwin says the Dems’ cover-up of Biden’s mental, physical decline is a bombshell of bad news – and it’s going from bad to worse. Dave Harsanyi at WaEx asserts Biden cover-up is one of the greatest scandals in presidential history. Hat Hair's John Sexton says Yes, There Definitely Was a Cover Up of Biden's Decline. Power Lines John Hinderacker wonders Who Ran the Executive Branch? The Times (UK), Meet the Biden ‘politburo’ accused of running the country in secret.

Matt Margolis thinks you should WATCH Jake Tapper Accidentally Proves He's Still Part of the Biden Cover-Up. Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew "This is THE GREATEST clip out yet - Jake “The Shill” Tapper telling Joe Scarborough that an 80 year old dementia sufferer focused on making Scarborough his bitch by suckering him to go out to the public on his show and saying Biden was the “Best Biden” ever at that time. And sucker Joe took it all in and swallowed it whole." Quote TV News Now @TVNewsNow. "WATCH: Jake Tapper tells MSNBC 'Morning Joe' hosts that Biden made targeted effort to convince Scarborough he was fit for office." Comfortably Smug @ComfortablySmug, "My. God. Dems openly saying they are shocked at how stupid and easily manipulated journos are." Quote Mary Margaret Olohan @MaryMargOlohan, "Biden affiliated source to @AlexThomp: “The media deserves some blame too. We were amazed at what we were able to spin…you guys should not have believed us so easily!”" At NRO, Do Not Expect the Mainstream Media to Honestly Audit Itself


Beege Welborn at Hat Hair reminds us Thar's Gold In Them Thar NGOs! Let's take it away. From LifeZette, Feds Caught in Wild $40B Credit Card Spending Spree on Crazy Stuff You Won’t Believe. “This lack of oversight is further underscored by a recent DoD Office of Inspector General (OIG) report, which found 7,805 transactions at known high-risk merchants, including casino ATMs and mobile application stores.”   Matt Vespa is amused by  A Fired Government Worker Later Sobbed but Couldn't Call His Parents Because of This Hilarious Reason. Oilfield Rando @Oilfield_Rando, "Meet Richard Midgette. On the drive home after his layoff, he “blasted indie rock music to drown out the sound of his own sobbing”.

Sundance is pleased at punch to report the Trump Administration Bars Harvard University from Enrolling Foreign Students over institutional antisemitism. That's gonna sting.

From Campus Reform, Students reportedly pelted with feces during Riley Gaines event at University of Washington. Riley Gaines @Riley_Gaines_ "Update: the protestors just threw *feces* at the @TPUSA students at check in. Literal human feces." Quote Riley Gaines @Riley_Gaines_, "Happening now at University of Washington in Seattle: protestors chant "God is trans" Now, tell me it's not a spiritual battle. Demonic beings." Tyler O'Neil at Da Signal reports Democrats Compared Parental Rights Groups to the KKK While Passing a Transgender Law. Now, Those Groups Are Suing. "It cites The Daily Signal’s previous coverage of state Rep. Yara Zokaie, a Democrat sponsor of the bill, comparing parental rights groups to the Ku Klux Klan. When Zokaie faced criticism over the comparison, she doubled down, citing the Southern Poverty Law Center." Sue them too.
