A crazed suspect wielding two knives allegedly went on a stabbing rampage in New York City on Monday and killed three people, one woman and two men. The suspect is Ramon Rivera, 51, a mentally ill homeless man who has reportedly been arrested eight times before in the city. His mug shot shows him with light skin and a black, bushy unkempt beard with gray streaks and matching hair. He has since been arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree murder. The deadly random attack was “unprovoked,” Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday at a news briefing on the incident. “Today, we have three innocent New Yorkers, just going about their lives, who were the victim of a terrible, terrible assault,” Adams said. “It is a clear, clear example of the criminal justice system, mental health system that continues to fail New Yorkers.” The stabbing spree began around 8:20 a.m. and lasted several hours, spanning more than 20 blocks from Chelsea to the East River. A bearded man matching Rivera’s description can be seen on surveillance footage putting a large kitchen knife in his sweatshirt pocket in Chelsea about 20 minutes before he attacked his first victim, according to police. He first walked up to a 36-year-old construction worker in Chelsea and stabbed him in the stomach, police said. Later, he stabbed a 68-year-old man who was fishing in the East River, and finally, he stabbed a 36-year-old woman multiple times near the United Nations building. All three were taken to the hospital but later died from their injuries. Large splashes of blood were visible on the ground at one of the crime scenes as police roped it off. The violence caused panic among bystanders. A woman pushing a small child in a stroller witnessed the construction worker getting stabbed and screamed and alerted a doorman, he said. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Eventually, a cab driver who witnessed the woman getting knifed followed the stabber and alerted a police officer, Robert Garvey, who detained the suspect. “If Officer Garvey was not there, these random acts of violence, this person conceivably would have continued those random acts of violence,” Adams said. “So, he saved the lives of fellow New Yorkers.” The suspect was caught with two large, bloodied kitchen knives in his possession, police said. Rivera was reportedly released from Rikers Island just a month before the attacks, and the mayor said the system had failed. “There’s some real questions that we need to look at on why he was on the street, and he has some severe mental health issues that should have been examined, and that’s what we’re looking to spot in the investigation,” Adams said. Rivera’s rap sheet reportedly includes five burglary arrests over the last year, and another charge for assaulting a corrections officer in a psychiatric center. He was also charged with petty larceny for stealing a $1,500 acrylic bowl.

Hall of Fame football legend Brett Favre weighed in on whether the NFL will crack down on players who have celebrated victories by doing the viral “Trump” dance. On Tuesday, speaking to Fox News, the 55-year-old former Green Bay Packers star QB was asked about the dance that’s sweeping the sports world and whether he thinks the league will fine players or institute some kind of ban to get players to stop showing support on the field for Trump. “I find it hard to believe that the NFL would crack down on this ‘Trump’ dance,” Favre told the outlet. “I really do. I would hope that they wouldn’t.” NFL players from across the league have also started celebrating their individual victories by doing the dance, which has become a viral sensation.  INSTANT REPLAY: @BrettFavre shares his reaction to the viral Trump dance taking the NFL by storm — and whether the league will punish players for showing their apparent support of the president-elect on the field. pic.twitter.com/4APO7Xh6Q7 — Fox News (@FoxNews) November 19, 2024 It became a trend on social media after supporters made videos of themselves doing the same dance moves that Trump often did when he danced to the Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.” at his numerous campaign rallies. Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers did the Trump-esque dance moves when he scored a touchdown on Sunday, after he caught a 23-yard pass late in the third quarter to give the Raiders 12 points against the Miami Dolphins’ 17. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ And while those watching the game live saw Bowers’ dance in the end zone — and then a shot of Raiders’ owner Mark Davis reacting to the TD — the victory celebration seemed to be missing from the post “NFL on CBS” made on X, OutKick noted. The social media post showed the 23-yard catch and then cut straight to the shot of Davis in his suite. But Bowers wasn’t the only NFL player rocking the dance moves. During the Detroit Lions game, Za’Darius Smith and Malcolm Rodriguez celebrated their team’s defensive stop on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, also by doing the funny Trump-esque dance moves. Tennessee Titans players Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine busted out the Trump moves ahead of what appeared to be a touchdown during the team’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. The viral dance even made an appearance on Monday at the Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinals in St. Louis, when U.S. men’s soccer star Christian Pulisic celebrated making the first goal in the team’s 4-2 victory against Jamaica by rocking the viral dance moves.

A rebrand for the luxury car brand Jaguar has inspired an avalanche of criticism online. The newly released ad campaign includes a colorful commercial of people dressed in vibrant, outlandish outfits. The characters can be seen grabbing sledgehammers, painting over the camera lens, and striking poses as the music plays.  Copy nothing. #Jaguar pic.twitter.com/BfVhc3l09B — Jaguar (@Jaguar) November 19, 2024 One of the chief criticisms viewers have is that the ad doesn’t have any cars in it. Instead, disjointed phrases such as “create exuberant,” “live vivid,” “delete ordinary,” “break molds,” and “copy nothing” appear on the screen. Tesla founder Elon Musk responded to the ad, writing, “Do you sell cars?” The official Jaguar X account replied with, “Yes. We’d love to show you. Join us for a cuppa in Miami on 2nd December? Warmest regards, Jaguar.” The social media account replied to many comments questioning the ad, saying things like, “The story is unfolding. Stay tuned,” “We’re shifting gears, not our purpose,” and “Consider this the first brushstroke.” Most commenters assumed that the ad signified Jaguar marketing moving in a woke direction.  “Bye Jaguar, it was nice knowing you, to think, you were once the pinnacle of British motor engineering,” one person wrote. “I’m not sure you all heard, but we aren’t doing that liberal artsy bullsh** anymore. Read the room,” a second person agreed. Another reply said, “Didn’t you get the memo? Woke is dead. (And so is Jaguar, by the look of this turd).” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ The ad is part of a huge brand overhaul, which has been described as going in a new EV-only direction. “Exuberant use of color is a cornerstone of Jaguar’s new brand identity, embedded in its values and its association with art,” it says on the brand page. “Primary colors, born from the painter’s palette – yellow, red and blue – are the tonal building blocks, always presented with texture or movement.” The car brand’s chief creative officer Gerry McGovern is quoted as saying, “Jaguar has its roots in originality. Sir William Lyons, our founder, believed that ‘a Jaguar should be a copy of nothing.’ Our vision for Jaguar today is informed by this philosophy. New Jaguar is a brand built around Exuberant Modernism.” He continued, “It is imaginative, bold and artistic at every touchpoint. It is unique and fearless. We are creating Jaguar for the future, restoring its status as a brand that enriches the lives of our clients and the Jaguar community.” The page also notes that a new concept car will be revealed at Miami Art Week on the week of December 2.

As Congress debates Rep. Nancy Mace’s proposal to ban men from women’s bathrooms on the Hill, American Principles Project President Terry Schilling is reminding lawmakers that the American people are on the South Carolina Republican’s side. Schilling and his organization are credited with influencing president-elect Donald Trump and top Republicans throughout the past election cycle by pointing to polling showing that the American people do not want gender ideology pushed on their children or men in women’s spaces. Some of the GOP’s most effective ads focused specifically on these issues, catapulting the future president to victory. Schilling was quick to remind lawmakers of this fact. “The American people sent Republicans to Washington with a mandate to protect women and children from transgender ideology,” Schilling warned in a memo obtained by The Daily Wire. “There’s no question about that. According to AdImpact data, Republican candidates spent $215 million in campaign ads on the issue, while Democrats struggled to respond. Republicans in the House and Senate should feel comfortable defending their positions not only because they are right and just, but because they are politically popular.” Schilling argued in the memo, sent to Republican congressmen and senators Tuesday afternoon, that “it’s clear that the Democrats have failed to learn anything from their 2024 election defeat,” reminding lawmakers: “The American people voted for a return to normalcy — and they voted against the Democrats’ transgender extremism. But it’s not even December yet, and Democrats are leaning in on defending the ‘right’ of a male member of Congress to hang out in the women’s restroom.” The memo cites polling from Napolitan News Service and RMG Research from November 13, which found 75% of respondents did not think “biological males who identify as women be allowed to use the women’s locker rooms, showers, and bathrooms.” “There’s no question that public polling favors Congresswoman Mace and her resolution to ban men from women’s private spaces,” Schilling argued. “In the national polling from RMG, there was a massive landslide in favor of her position. Even more amazingly, the often left-leaning YouGov poll showed that in the seven most competitive states in the country, her position has either an outright majority or a supermajority of the voters’ support. Mace, herself a survivor of rape, speaks to the non-negotiable need of women to feel comfortable and safe in private spaces.” Mace’s bill would prohibit members, officers, and employees of the House of Representatives from “using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex.” The resolution specifically states that “allowing biological males into single-sex facilities, such as restrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms designed for women, jeopardizes the safety and dignity of members, officers, and employees of the House who are female.” Liberal media outlets and lawmakers have raised a ruckus over the resolution, arguing that it targets a newly elected member of Congress — Sarah McBride, a man who identifies as a woman. McBride has argued that it is a “blatant attempt from far right-wing extremists to distract from the fact that they have no real solutions to what Americans are facing,” “Sarah McBride doesn’t get a say in this,” Mace said on Monday night to reporters. “If you’re a biological man, you shouldn’t be in women’s restrooms.” Schilling argued in his memo that McBride has spent years pushing “radical policies like men in women’s sports, men in women’s prisons, and sex changes for children.” “This cannot be disputed. It is unequivocally true,” he wrote. “McBride only saw a political career boost after identifying as a transgender female in 2012,” Schilling continued. “Since then, McBride has worked for the Obama White House, Equality Delaware, the Center for American Progress, and the Human Rights Campaign. The Delaware representative’s area of policy expertise has always been ‘transgender rights.’ McBride is widely credited on the Left with shaping Joe Biden’s personal views and political evolution on transgender issues. This is important context as McBride often pretends not to be motivated in politics by so-called ‘transgender identity’ — an obvious lie.” Schilling argued that McBride’s desire to use female private spaces on Capitol grounds presents a “serious privacy issue for female members of congress and female Hill staffers.” “There should be no ambiguity on this, especially when Republicans control Congress: men should use male facilities, and women should use female facilities,” he added. McBride did not immediately respond to a request for comment for this story.

Three years ago, a 25-year-old Honduran national named Medina Ulloa was stopped by border patrol agents in Texas. He gave them a fake name and lied about being a juvenile. But instead of kicking him out of the country, authorities gave him a “notice to appear” for a court date that everyone knew he’d never actually attend. Then Ulloa was flown to Jacksonville, Florida, where he was taken in by a 46-year-old father of four. Soon afterwards, the immigrant beat the man to death inside his own home. Last year, Medina Ulloa pleaded guilty to murder and received a 60-year sentence. And during the course of the prosecution that led to that plea deal, we learned a lot of details about what happened. We learned Ulloa had attempted to tamper with evidence, for example. We also learned from home security footage that Medina Ulloa pummeled his victim with a chair before repeatedly stabbing him. But there was one critical detail that was never explained, even though it’s maybe the most important one in the entire story: How did Medina Ulloa get to Jacksonville? Did he buy a ticket himself, even though he had no money? Did someone else buy a ticket for him? Or did Medina Ulloa arrive in Jacksonville on one of the Biden administration’s secret resettlement flights, which take off in the middle of the night and ferry thousands of illegal aliens from Texas to destinations all over the country — including Jacksonville? In this case, the victim’s daughter claimed that Ulloa had indeed arrived on one of these resettlement flights. And she would have reason to know that. Again, her father had allowed this guy into his home, and presumably they talked about how he had arrived in Jacksonville in the first place. But for their part, the Biden-Harris administration has refused to say anything about the arrangement, one way or another. Even when a Republican congressman formally asked the Biden administration to explain exactly what had happened, they didn’t confirm or deny that they had flown Ulloa into Jacksonville. Of course, that almost certainly means they did, indeed, put him on one of their many charter jets for illegal aliens. Therefore, when Ulloa committed murder, the DHS knew they were complicit. Their policy had facilitated a brutal killing. And so they decided not to talk about it. That was their solution. The federal government, under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, apparently decided that they’d rather cover up their role in a homicide, instead of taking action to prevent future homicides from occurring. WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show So it’s not surprising that those homicides have continued to occur, in similar fashion. As you may have heard, the trial of 26-year-old Venezuelan illegal alien Jose Ibarra got underway this week in Athens, Georgia. Ibarra is accused of murdering Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student, near a jogging trail at the University of Georgia back in February. Prosecutors say Ibarra put on a hoodie-style jacket, a black hat, and black disposable gloves, before going off to “hunt for females” on the university’s campus. What we didn’t know until yesterday is how exactly Ibarra got to Georgia in the first place. The government certainly didn’t bother to tell us. But during the trial yesterday, we learned the answer to that question. According to Ibarra’s roommate, just like Medina Ulloa, he received a taxpayer-funded resettlement flight. In the case of Ibarra, the flight took him from New York City to Georgia. In other words, the Biden-Harris administration didn’t just enable the murder of Laken Riley with their lax border policies, they also facilitated the murder. Watch: The roommate of Laken Riley's killer just testified during his trial that they went to the Roosevelt Hotel together in September 2023 and received a taxpayer funded flight to Georgia. Your government flew an illegal gang member to Georgia with your money — where he then… pic.twitter.com/7plVTnJhy6 — Greg Price (@greg_price11) November 18, 2024 If we had a “Department of Homeland Security” that actually cared about securing the homeland, we wouldn’t be hearing about this now, months after the fact (and weeks after the election). We’d have heard about it back in February. The government would have acknowledged that they paid the airfare for a murderer. There would have been months of congressional hearings by now. We’d know every detail about how exactly this brutal killer was ferried throughout the country, at taxpayer expense. Instead, the Biden-Harris administration refused to say a word about this. It fell to a local prosecutor in Georgia to reveal that the federal government was covering this criminal’s airfare. This is especially egregious when you consider the DHS knew that Ibarra was a member of one of the most dangerous gangs on the planet. The New York Post and NewsNation have confirmed that, according to DHS sources, Jose Ibarra was a member of “Tren de Aragua.” If you’re keeping track, that’s the same gang that’s taken over several apartment complexes in Colorado. And this is the person they were paying to transport across the United States. It makes you wonder how many of those Colorado gang members were transported, for free, from the southern border. It also makes you wonder when we can expect criminal trials for the DHS officials who allowed this to happen. They were transporting a criminal that they knew — or should have known — was a member of a violent, transnational criminal organization. How is that any different from offering, say, a member of ISIS a free one-way ticket to Manhattan? At a certain point, you can’t pretend to be surprised at the natural and foreseeable consequences of government policy. When you facilitate the transportation of dangerous criminals who are members of notoriously brutal gangs, you don’t get to feign astonishment when they go on to commit brutal crimes. And it’s not as if Ibarra wasn’t sending up red flags left and right, even apart from his gang ties. After the Biden administration let him into the country in September of 2022 (supposedly due to a “lack of bed space,” which doesn’t seem particularly relevant since we don’t need bed space to deport him), Ibarra somehow arrived in New York City. Once there, local officials put him up in the swanky Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan. While there, he had access to free healthcare, housing, meals and even legal services, to help him prepare his fraudulent asylum application. But that wasn’t enough to keep Ibarra out of trouble. In August of 2023, Ibarra was arrested in New York for “acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17.” He was also hit with a “vehicle license violation.” That’s according to DHS officials. But the local DA, Alvin Bragg, was too busy prosecuting the leading presidential candidate for an ancient business records violation, so he couldn’t be bothered to prosecute Ibarra, or give a heads-up to federal immigration authorities. So Ibarra was released quickly without any bond. Then Ibarra headed to another sanctuary city (thanks to the Biden administration’s resettlement flight) — Athens-Clarke County, Georgia. On October 27, he was given a citation for shoplifting. Under the Left-wing DA’s policies, Ibarra wasn’t arrested for the offense at the time. Instead, he was ordered to appear for a court hearing in December. But Ibarra ignored that hearing, of course, so an arrest warrant was issued on December 20th. But he was never arrested. For months, he wasn’t bothered by local authorities or by Biden’s DHS, despite all of the crimes he committed in this country — and despite an active arrest warrant. He wasn’t bothered in any way until February, when he put on his disposable gloves and murdered Laken Riley. And as the prosecutor outlined today, it was a vicious, brutal killing. Riley fought for 18 minutes, up until the point her smartwatch recorded that her heart had stopped: Prosecutor lays out the horrific manner in which Jose Ibarra brutally murdered Laken Riley He bashed her skull in repeatedly with a rock after she put up a fight to the very end There is forensic, digital and video evidence pic.twitter.com/uXWTd7y66A — Drew Hernandez (@DrewHLive) November 15, 2024 One of the many ways that investigators were able to tie Ibarra to this crime is that, just hours before he killed Riley, he posted photos of himself on Snapchat. In those photos, he was wearing a black Adidas hat, a blue jacket, and a black-and-white shirt. And then, after the killing, a man wearing the same clothing was captured on a Ring-style camera discarding a blue jacket into a dumpster. And when that jacket was tested, it contained Laken Riley’s DNA. Watch: ?This is horrifying but necessary to watch: Jose Ibarra — the illegal alien animal who murdered Laken Riley — is seen on surveillance video dumping clothes into a dumpster shortly after Laken’s heart stopped. We don’t have to live like this. It’s time to secure our border. pic.twitter.com/f3fmzprdWS — Steve Cortes (@CortesSteve) November 15, 2024   This country endured a year of rioting over George Floyd, costing billions of dollars and leading to the deaths of several Americans. Police stations and churches were torched, federal courthouses were attacked, small businesses were destroyed. Members of Congress wore “kente cloth” and got down on one knee. It was all in service of a lie that Floyd’s death was the result of systemic injustice, instead of his own decisions — and in particular, his decision to spend his life committing serious crimes, culminating in an attempt to defraud a business while high on enough fentanyl to kill a horse. The murder of Laken Riley, on the other hand, was the result of systemic injustice. The government provided her killer access to this country, in violation of the law. Then the government gave him free housing, meals and airfare to go wherever he wanted — which is very common, by the way. As House investigators found earlier this year, more than 50 airports have been used by DHS to transport more than 400,000 illegal aliens in this manner since January of last year. More than a million illegals are on the waiting list. And the government did all of this without putting it up for a vote, or asking whether Americans wanted this to happen — even though, overwhelmingly, they don’t. And then, after one of these illegal aliens brutally murders a nursing student, the president of the United States finally apologized — but not to the victim, or her family. Instead, he apologized for calling the killer an “illegal” during the State of the Union, after mispronouncing Laken Riley’s name. Here’s that again, to refresh our memories: When Biden made that apology, he knew that Riley’s death could’ve been prevented several times, in several different cities. His DHS knew that they had assisted the perpetrator of this heinous crime, several times over. But the only apology that Biden could muster was to criminals like Jose Ibarra. He said illegal aliens “built this county,” which doesn’t even begin to make sense. He didn’t say a word about the role of these secret resettlement flights in causing Laken Riley’s death, maybe because he was hoping we’d never find out about it. But now we have found out about it, thanks to testimony from the killer’s roommate (who incidentally, is also in the country illegally). This is what the open-borders agenda means in practice. We’re once again seeing how a policy that’s supposedly premised on “compassion” for illegal immigrants, in reality, translates into brutality and death for American citizens. That’s been obvious to most people on the Right for a while. But now it’s getting hard for anyone to ignore. That’s why the exit polls showed Kamala Harris losing on the immigration issue, across party lines. The vast majority of Americans recognize at this point that we shouldn’t be flying these illegal aliens throughout the country in the middle of the night, or any other time of day. We should be flying them out of the country, back to wherever they came from. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ That’s what the incoming Trump administration is promising to do. And unlike the Biden administration, the new administration isn’t going to hide these flights. The new border czar is openly promoting them already — and why shouldn’t he? Enforcing the law is overwhelmingly popular. It’s what Americans want. When you’re implementing a policy that’s actually popular, you don’t need to do it under the cover of darkness. You can talk about it on cable news, which is exactly what Trump’s nominees are doing. This is a change that, as this trial in Georgia demonstrates, can’t come soon enough. With the killing of Laken Riley, months after the fact, we have discovered that the U.S. government was effectively an accomplice to the murder of an American citizen. They didn’t just create the conditions that allowed this killing to happen by opening the border. They also facilitated the killing by providing repeated, material support to the murderer. And then they tried to cover it up. And by the way, six Republican senators voted to confirm the DHS secretary who oversaw all of this. That’s something to keep in mind as the Trump Cabinet appointments make their way through the Senate. Any senator who voted for Alejandro Mayorkas should explain that vote. And those senators — the ones who are still in office, anyway — should explain what they plan to do, going forward, to dismantle the open-borders agenda, instead of enabling it. The murder of Laken Riley makes it very clear that this change is long overdue. Once the killer is brought to justice in Georgia, all of his many enablers in the government should also be held to account. That’s the only way to prevent a murder like this from happening again. And it’s the only way to ensure that Americans can have any trust in their government going forward. This is the radical reform that Americans voted for. Before the next woman like Laken Riley is killed, we need to enact it.

President-elect Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he was nominating Dr. Mehmet Oz to become his administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Oz, a celebrity TV physician who lost in Pennsylvania’s 2022 U.S. Senate race to Democrat John Fetterman, would oversee a federal agency that says it provides health coverage to more than 160 million people through Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and the Health Insurance Marketplace. “I am very pleased to nominate Dr. Mehmet Oz to serve as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator,” Trump said in a statement. “America is facing a Healthcare Crisis, and there may be no Physician more qualified and capable than Dr. Oz to Make America Healthy Again.” NEW: President Trump announces the nomination of @DrOz to serve as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator pic.twitter.com/cXHKFW6K7M — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) November 19, 2024 Trump said Oz is “an eminent Physician, Heart Surgeon, Inventor, and World-Class Communicator, who has been at the forefront of healthy living for decades.” Trump added that Oz would “work closely” with Robert F. Kennedy, his selection to lead the Health and Human Services Department, “to take on the illness industrial complex, and all the horrible chronic diseases left in its wake.” Normally, a candidate for such a position would have to pass through a Senate confirmation process, but Trump has indicated that he wants to use recess appointments to install his Cabinet members. It remains to be seen how the GOP-led Senate in the next session will handle Trump’s picks for top positions in his second administration. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Trump said he expects Oz to become a “leader in incentivizing Disease Prevention, so we get the best results in the World for every dollar we spend on Healthcare in our Great Country.” Trump also predicted Oz “will also cut waste and fraud within our Country’s most expensive Government Agency, which is a third of our Nation’s Healthcare spend, and a quarter of our entire National Budget.” After mentioning details of Oz’s background, including his education and career accomplishments, Trump ended his nomination announcement with a personal touch: “I have known Dr. Oz for many years, and I am confident he will fight to ensure everyone in America receives the best possible Healthcare, so our Country can be Great and Healthy Again!”
