Federal authorities have arrested a leftist Democratic city councilwoman in Boston after being accused of defrauding the city and giving kickbacks to a family member on her staff.  Tania Fernandes Anderson, who immigrated to the U.S. illegally from Cape Verde, was charged by the Justice Department with five counts of wire fraud and one count of stealing federal funds, including a charge for providing a $13,000 bonus to an unnamed relative she employed at city hall. The two allegedly shared the money. “The charges stem from an alleged kickback scheme she orchestrated to obtain several thousand dollars in taxpayer money in exchange for bribes paid,” said U.S. Attorney Joshua Levy on Friday.  The indictment alleged that at the time of the illegal activity, Fernandes Anderson was “facing personal financial difficulty,” including missing rent and car payments and a civil penalty from her previous ethics violation, in which she was fined for hiring her sister and son. Prosecutors say that Fernandes Anderson hatched a scheme to hire a family member and pay them a $13,000 bonus. An email included in the indictment shows her falsely claiming to a Boston official that the staffer was not related to her. Investigators said Fernandes Anderson took $7,000 in cash during a drop in a city hall bathroom. “On or about June 9, 2023, at approximately 4:11 p.m., Staff Member A texted Fernandes Anderson, ‘Bathroom’ to let Fernandes Anderson know that Staff Member A was waiting in the bathroom to hand the $7,000 cash to Fernandes Anderson,” the indictment said. “Within seconds, Fernandes Anderson texted Staff Member A, ‘Ready’ to confirm that Fernandes Anderson was ready to accept the $7,000 cash kickback from Staff Member A.” “When they met in that bathroom, Ms. Fernandes Anderson put $7,000 in her pocket,” Levy said. “All of that money was funded by the taxpayers of Boston.” The indictment also accused Fernandes Anderson of embezzling money from a federal grant program meant for the city of Boston.  On Wednesday, after news broke that she may have been under investigation, Fernandes Anderson said she couldn’t comment on the allegations.  “To my people, District 7 constituents: You know that I am always transparent with you and always available. My job is to show up and fight for you, and I will continue to do just that–the people’s work,” the city councilor said. “Unfortunately, I am not able to comment on this matter at this time. As soon as I can, I will be sure to share more with you.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Fernandes Anderson, who was elected in 2021, has become known for her racially charged rhetoric and calls for “a revolution” to combat “systemic racism.”  “I can’t even call you cowards because desperation deserves mercy. Your votes here sometimes are racist … I am here to represent every black woman and man in the community … What the f*** do I have to do in this f***ing council to get respect as a black woman,” Fernandes Anderson said to fellow council members during a meeting in August 2023. She was set to appear before a federal judge Friday afternoon.

The Revolutionary Left is creeping into the mainstream. The shooting of Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, has unleashed a wave of evil from members of the Left. Thompson wasn’t a criminal. He wasn’t even an advocate of death the way abortionists or euthanasia advocates are. (And murder of an abortionist or euthanasia advocate would be unjustifiable morally in a democratic system.) His great sin is that he was the head of a company that exists within a mixed private-public healthcare framework, and that he did his job. But for the Left, if you hate the system, you are morally justified in murdering anyone who acts within the system. That means that if, like one Bernie Sanders follower, you believe that private healthcare “kills Americans,” you can murder Congressmen. It means that if you don’t like that health insurers often deny coverage for certain pre-existing conditions or non-covered doctors or medication, you can murder the CEO of a health insurance company. This is revolutionary leftist evil. It’s evil for a couple reasons. First, violence is not justified in a democracy, where your say is part of the process. Revolution to overthrow tyranny is justified — but the tyranny must be real, and the violence must be the last resort. Neither is true in this case. If you do perceive America to be a tyranny and violence to be the proper response, that is a call for unending violence until the system itself is changed. It’s a call for revolution. Second, violence against members of private industry isn’t even a protest of public policy. It’s a protest against the very system of free markets. Thompson was not responsible for America’s healthcare system any more than the head of CVS is responsible for America’s tariff system. Directing hatred against Thompson is not about shaping public policy. It’s about trying to threaten anyone who engages in free markets at all. This person could have just as easily shot a doctor who decided not to perform a surgery, or a bank worker who denied a loan application. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show This was the philosophy of the Red Army Faction in Germany in the 1970s, also known as the Baader-Meinhof Gang. They weren’t seeking a better world. They were seeking to tear down the world of capitalism on behalf of Marxist evil. They routinely quoted Herbert Marcuse and Antonio Gramsci; they called for revolution. Ulrike Meinhof, a Left-wing radical journalist, led the way, famously stating, “Protest is when I say this does not please me. Resistance is when I ensure what does not please me occurs no more.” That philosophy led the Baader-Meinhof Gang to engage in routine assassination of everyone from industrialists like Hanns Martin Schleyer to Dresdner Bank head Jurgen Ponto to American servicemen in Germany. These people can also become tools of enemy regimes, as Baader-Meinhof was. Baader-Meinhof worked with the Stasi and other Soviet agents to foment chaos, and coordinated with Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and Palestine Liberation Organization. The origins of Baader-Meinhof came from the 1968 student protests in Germany. They were Marxist in orientation, influenced by radical race riots in the United States, and allied with radicals all over the globe; Meinhof wrote an essay defending the Munich Massacre of Israeli Olympians by Palestinian terrorists. Stefan Aust, who literally wrote the book on the Baader-Meinhof Gang, pointed out: The Baader–Meinhof Gang drew a measure of support that violent leftists in the United States, like the Weather Underground, never enjoyed. A poll at the time showed that a quarter of West Germans under forty felt sympathy for the gang and one-tenth said they would hide a gang member from the police. Prominent intellectuals spoke up for the gang’s righteousness [as] Germany even into the 1970s was still a guilt-ridden society. When the gang started robbing banks, newscasts compared its members to Bonnie and Clyde. (Andreas) Baader, a charismatic action man indulged in the imagery, telling people that his favourite movies were Bonnie and Clyde, which had recently come out, and The Battle of Algiers. The pop poster of Che Guevara hung on his wall, [while] he paid a designer to make a Red Army Faction logo, a drawing of a machine gun against a red star. What do we make of the journalists and academics who proclaim soft support for the murder of Brian Thompson? That we are on the verge of something terrible. After all, this follows hard on the Black Lives Matters riots, which were indulged and even celebrated by many on the Left; the Hamas takeover of college campuses, again indulged and celebrated by Left-wing elite; and now, the not-so-quiet applause for the assassination of a private healthcare CEO. The toxic brew of radicalism and violence that characterized the 1970s in Germany and the United States is bubbling again. And why not? Many of those who engaged in precisely that violence are now well-respected American academics: Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn found high positions in academia after spending years planting bombs with the Weather Underground. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Certainly a desperate Left, spurred to action by constant talk of the “fascistic” takeover of Donald Trump, can be counted on to increase their support for violence. Two assassination attempts against Trump in the last six months are merely an indicator of just how deeply this rot is spreading. This must be stopped. It can only be stopped by a widespread rejection on all sides of the aisle for this type of violence. The shooter in this case should be arrested and given the death penalty. Seedbeds for such Marxist-Leninist violence on college campuses should be defunded. Those like Taylor Lorenz should be rejected from polite society. The Brian Thompson shooting is a bleeding edge indicator of where the country could be going. All it takes is someone with organizational capacity on the Left to launch America into a new era of domestic terrorism, with the tacit “moral” support of much of the journalistic establishment.

The man who shot and critically wounded two kindergartners at a Christian school in Oroville, California, on Wednesday wrote that he was seeking out “child executions” in response to “America’s involvement in Genocide and Oppression of Palestinians,” according to authorities. The shooter, who will not be named per Daily Wire policy, was identified as a 56-year-old man with a history of mental health issues and a lengthy criminal record. Action News Now reported that the Butte County, California, Sheriff’s Office obtained the shooter’s writings, which gave a motive for his attack on the Christian school. The shooter’s writings read, “Countermeasure involving child executions has now been imposed at the Seventh-Day Adventist school in California, United States by the International Alliance. Lieutenant Glenn Litton of the Alliance, carried out countermeasure in necessitated response to America’s involvement in Genocide and Oppression of Palestinians along with attack towards Yemen.” Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea said authorities found no evidence of the “International Alliance” referenced by the shooter, adding that the shooter had a history of mental health issues. As a child, the shooter attended an Adventist school in the nearby town of Paradise. District Attorney Mike Ramsey said it’s possible that the shooter would have been charged with a hate crime if he had survived. The shooter met with the principal at Feather River Adventist School in the early afternoon on Wednesday before opening fire and wounding two young boys before turning the gun on himself. The young victims were identified as 6-year-old Roman Mendez and 5-year-old Elias Wolford. Mendez was shot twice, resulting in internal injuries, and Wolford was shot once in the stomach, also resulting in internal injuries. Both boys remain in critical condition. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE The shooter was a homeless man who moved around the Chico and Sacramento areas, CBS News reported. The 56-year-old white male was convicted of multiple crimes in the 1990s and early 2000s, including theft, fraud, and forgery. According to Sheriff Honea, the shooter also had a juvenile record. Just last month, the shooter was arrested in South San Francisco after he was suspected of stealing a U-Haul truck. Law enforcement officers found him in the stolen truck, and he was transported to the San Bernadino County Jail. He pled not guilty and was released from jail on November 21. After he was released, the shooter stayed at various motels in the Chico area, which is about 30 miles north of Feather River Adventist School. Days before the shooting, the 56-year-old homeless man called the Christian school to set up an appointment where he could discuss enrolling his grandson, according to Honea. After meeting with the principal on Wednesday, the shooter walked toward the exit, but then turned and walked back toward the playground as students were coming back into the building after a break. Honea said surveillance footage showed the shooter reach for his waistband, where Honea said he was holding a handgun. The shooter then began firing the gun and wounded two boys, ages 5 and 6. The shooter’s first prison sentence in 1991 came after he was charged with cultivating marijuana and petty theft, according to CBS News. A little over a decade later, he stole the identities of multiple Butte County residents and charged credit cards thousands of dollars for rent, food, and entertainment, District Attorney Mike Ramsey said. After being arrested in 2002, police searched the shooter’s home and computer and found that he had searched for firearms and explosives, leading investigators to believe he was planning a mass incident with explosives, according to Ramsey.

If you ever had the pleasure of finding out your mom was pregnant, and you were no longer going to be the baby, you probably had big feelings about it. This can be a particularly devastating blow if you don’t feel like you’ve had enough time in the baby position. Some kids get to be there for a long time, while others get booted just as things start getting good. Jason and Kylie Kelce recently announced in a hilarious social media post that they’re expecting their fourth daughter. The parents shared a video of daughters Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, not quite 2, in “Big Sister” sweaters showing a range of emotions. Wyatt and Elliotte are used to the title, but Bennett doesn’t look very excited. And according to her mom, it hasn’t gotten much better. View this post on Instagram A post shared by TODAY (@todayshow) Jason And Kylie Kelce’s Youngest Daughter Wants To Be The Baby Forever Kylie shared a video from her new podcast Not Gonna Lie, where she read the question.   “Has Bennie come around?” “She absolutely has not,” her mother hilariously confirmed. Kylie Kelce went on to explain that not only is Bennett not excited about the baby. She won’t even let her other sisters sit on her mom’s lap when she’s around. “So, we are about to ruin her day,” Kylie joked. It’s unclear when Kylie and Jason’s newest bundle of joy will arrive, but it may be the last for the couple. Jason shared on his podcast New Heights with brother Travis Kelce that this baby “Might be the last hurrah.” At one point, Kylie apparently hoped for a bigger family, but that might have changed. “Kylie said five,” he explained. “But I don’t know if she’s feeling that anymore. I think she’s like, ‘I’m done.'” If this is the last baby for Jason and Kylie Kelce, the girl dad is satisfied. “I just love my daughters so much,” he said. “The fact that we’re going to be getting another one is beyond exciting.” This story’s featured image is by Michael Loccisano/Getty Images.
