Trump supporter in deep blue city refuses to remove an incendiary sign as home is shot up for THIRD time

Daily Mail​09-07-2025
A MAGA supporter in the blue city of Washington awoke in the middle of the night to find bullet holes in her window where they hung multiple politically charged signs.
The Seattle Police Department said they were investigating a 'potentially targeted' attack 'due to political and ideological signs' that included a Confederate Flag, supported Donald Trump, and one that read 'Police Lives Matter.'
Photos from the scene revealed other signs with an inscription reading, 'Stand for the flag, kneel for the cross.'
Another sign read over the Confederate Flag, 'Learn the truth and you will not be offended.'
A photo featuring Trump read, 'Thank you for protecting our children and our country.'
Police said the incident happened around 3am on Sunday and the homeowner was asleep during the attack.
No injuries were reported and the suspects have yet to be identified. Daily Mail reached out to Seattle PD for an update on the case.
The department's Gun Violence Reduction Unit is investigating the shooting. Authorities recovered multiple shell casings at the scene.
The homeowner's car windows were also shot at and pride flag stickers were left on the vehicle.
Investigators are asking anyone with information on the shooting to contact the Seattle PD.
The homeowner told local ABC affiliate, KOMO News, that this was the third time their house was targeted.
Ewa Sporna, who lives in the neighborhood, told the outlet, 'They always damage her window and car.
'I'm surprised. I thought once, twice, but a third time, now a little too much,' she added.
Sporna said she heard the gunshots in the middle of the night and was 'shaking' out of fear. She admitted that she was considering moving due to the violence.
Another neighbor, Nadine Frehafer, agreed, telling KOMO, 'Surprised it happened, but not super surprised that people are upset.'
'Nobody deserves violence against them, obviously.'
Mason Rapisarda, whose grandmother lives next door to the home, told local Fox Seattle affiliate, 'I think it's unnecessary to bring that kind of violence.'
'Being how close the houses are together, it definitely concerns me.'
Rapisarda added that the incident has been 'very scary' for his grandmother who worries that if there's another attack, her home could be shot at.
The homeowner told Fox that her house was targeted on New Year's Eve heading into 2024 and a bullet flew into a cabinet.
Despite the violence, the homeowner told local news that she would be keeping her signs up.

National Guard descends on streets of Washington DC after Trump vows to 'rescue capital from bloodshed'

The National Guard started patrolling the streets of Washington DC on Tuesday night after President Trump announced the government would takeover policing in the city. Troops with the National Guard arrived into the capital late on Tuesday night in a bid by the White House to curb violent crime. Images of the troops started to pour in shortly after 8pm EST, showing camo clad officers being dispersed throughout the city. Military Humvees also parked on the National Mall on Tuesday evening with officers standing closeby. FBI Director Kash Patel said that so far arrested 23 people were arrested in the city with help from partners in a post to his X. According to Patel one person was arrested on a search warrant for a previous murder charge while others were nabbed for unlawful possession of firearms. Patel added that multiple people were also arrested for having outstanding warrants for DUI, while one was taken in for violating a restraining order. 'These are just a few examples we are just getting started. When you let good cops be cops they can clean up our streets and do it fast', he added. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that around 850 officers and agents had fanned out across the city on Monday and made the arrests. The move by Trump was announced on Monday, the president said the move was to 'rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor'. Flanked by cabinet members Attorney General Pam Bondi, US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro, FBI Director Kash Patel, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Interior Director Doug Burgum, Trump said he would instruct federal law enforcement officials to deploy aggressive tactics against the city's worst offenders. 'You spit and we hit and we can hit real hard,' he said. The president also vowed to clear out camps of homeless people from Washington, DC parks and public lands. Federal law officials began their citywide deployment over the weekend, ramping up a public display of force that was seen immediately by residents. 'Our Capital City has been overtaken by violent gangs, bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged out maniacs and homeless people, and we're not going to let it happen anymore,' he said. 'We're not going to take it.' Trump also highlighted recent horrific crimes in the city including a 21-year-old congressional intern who was hit by a stray bullet in a drive-by shooting and killed. As well as a former Trump administration official murdered in a carjacking, and a Democratic congressman who was carjacked at gunpoint. Trump also recalled a 'demented lunatic' that stabbed an aide to Sen. Rand Paul in 2023 and a 3-year-old girl who was shot and killed near the Capitol. The president's claim that crime has spike has been contested by the D.C.'s Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser, who has pointed to stats that show violent crime has decreased in the District since 2023. Violent crime in DC is down 26 percent this year and in 2024 reached a 30-year low, with 190 homicides in 2024 compared to 274 in 2023, according to metro police department statistics. 'The Mayor of D.C., Muriel Bowser, is a good person who has tried, but she has been given many chances, and the Crime Numbers get worse, and the City only gets dirtier and less attractive,' Trump said in a Sunday night Truth Social post. In April, Bowser announced the creation of a special police force specifically to tackle underage crime. In an interview on MSNBC Sunday, she pushed back on White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller saying that D.C. was 'more violent than Baghdad.'

Trump news at a glance: national guard gathers in DC as president mulls expanding their role across US

A steady stream of uniformed soldiers arrived at the national guard headquarters in Washington on Tuesday for deployment that evening to fight crime in the nation's capital. Donald Trump's deployment of the 800-strong force has been described by Democrats as political theater. With Trump threatening to replicate the move in other big cities, Democrats point to statistics showing that violent crime in Washington has dropped to historic lows in the past two years. About 850 officers and agents took part in a 'massive law enforcement surge' across Washington DC on Monday night and made nearly two dozen arrests, the White House said on Tuesday. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters, 'this is only the beginning. Over the course of the next month, the Trump administration will relentlessly pursue and arrest every violent criminal in the district who breaks the law, undermines public safety and endangers law-abiding Americans.' Trump's intervention has been widely condemned as an authoritarian power grab that undermines the autonomy of Washington's DC local government and seeks to distract attention from political problems such as the Jeffrey Epstein files. Muriel Bowser, the mayor of Washington DC, has pledged to work 'side by side' with the federal government as national guard troops arrive at their headquarters in the capital. The show of force came after Donald Trump announced that he was sending the national guard into the capital and putting city police under federal control, even though the violent crime rate is at a 30-year low. Read the full story Donald Trump could expand the use of national guard troops in US cities even further, if a plan from the Pentagon comes to fruition. The Washington Post, reporting on internal documents on Tuesday, says Pentagon officials are 'evaluating plans' to create a 'Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force' that would deploy to crack down on cities in events of unrest or during protests.

Read the full story An outbreak of a respiratory disease, possibly Covid-19, is running rampant through the remote Florida immigration jail known as 'Alligator Alcatraz', according to the attorney of an infected detainee removed from the camp last week. Read the full story A newly appointed official at the US Department of Labor hired by the Trump administration has a recent history of racist, sexually graphic, and conspiratorial posts on social media. Jessico Bowman was appointed deputy chief of staff of the Bureau of International Labor Affairs at the labor department, which is to lead 'the US Department of Labor's efforts to ensure that workers around the world are treated fairly and are able to share in the benefits of the global economy'. She has deleted her account on X and Facebook accounts since announcing her hiring. Read the full story Donald Trump's administration says it has determined that George Washington University has violated federal civil rights law, making it the latest higher educational institution to be targeted by the White House over last spring's campus protests against Israeli military strikes in Gaza. Read the full story Donald Trump hit out at Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, saying the bank had been wrong to predict tariffs would hurt the economy. The White House told the Smithsonian that it plans a wide review of exhibitions, materials and operations ahead of the US's 250th anniversary celebrations in 2026. US prices continued to rise in July, according to key economic data, as Donald Trump's international tariffs shake-up started to impact consumer costs. Catching up?

Friends star Lisa Kudrow goes viral over resurfaced impression of far-right MAGA spokesperson

had fans in stitches after her appearance in 2020 political mockumentary resurfaced on social media in recent days. The 62-year-old Friends star went viral after a clip in which she parodies a right-wing 'non-official spokesperson' for President Donald Trump's MAGA movement started making the rounds again on social media. The clip was from the Netflix special Death To 2020, which was produced by Black Mirror creator Charlie Booker — who also wrote the film — and his regular collaborator Annabel Jones. On X (formerly Twitter), commenters — many of whom appeared to have liberal politics — were simultaneously delighted and infuriated by what they saw as similarities between Kudrow's over-the-top defenses of the first Trump administration's scandals and the real flak that Trump's current White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, deflects on a daily basis. They praised her 'perfect impersonation' of an influential MAGA figure in the replies, with many users finding major parallels between her and real-life right-wing figures over their allegedly slippery grasp of the truth. Kudrow's spokeswoman, the fictional Jeanetta Grace Susan, was seen in a clip seemingly meant to take place in Washington, DC, as she defended Trump against his multiple impeachments. 'The whole impeachment thing was baseless, OK,' Kudrow says in character. 'So the Democrats claim that Trump pressured Ukraine into digging up dirt on the Biden family and their only real "evidence" of that is the transcript of him doing it,' she adds on a particularly ridiculous note as documents referencing Trump's attempts to get Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to investigate Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 election. Kudrow digs in shamelessly when the unseen British interviewer asked her to say more about the 'transcript' she had mentioned. 'What transcript?' she replies. When the interviewer reminders her that she just mentioned a transcript, she shoots back, 'Check your tape. I said no such thing.' Then Kudrow scoffs as the interviewer began reading back what she had just said about Ukraine, before doubling down and interjecting, 'There's no such place as Ukraine.' 'Yes, there is,' he replies in shock, but the spokeswoman shoots back, 'I choose to believe there is not.' Several viewers in the replies saw in Kudrow a shocking resemblance to Leavitt, both physically and in her defensive tone, though Leavitt wasn't working as the White House Press Secretary until the second Trump administration, years after the Netflix special was released. Kudrow digs in shamelessly when the unseen British interviewer asked her to say more about the 'transcript' she had mentioned. 'What transcript?' she replies, before denying she ever mentioned a transcript and then claiming that she doesn't believe in Ukraine One viewer praised the clip as 'freaking awesome' and said that Kudrow's performance as a fake PR specialist was 'probably the best thing I've seen since Tina Fey did Sarah Palin' on Saturday Night Live Other posters praised the clip as 'brilliant,' 'on point' and 'perfect' Another viewers said they had 'given up' on trying to reason with Trump's most vocal fans, which they seemed to think the clip effectively illustrated 'This is GREAT! Kudrow perfectly captured the Karoline Leavitt person — right down to the long bond hair and vapid smile,' wrote one user who felt there was a strong similarity. One viewer praised the clip as 'freaking awesome' and said that Kudrow's performance as a fake PR specialist was 'probably the best thing I've seen since Tina Fey did Sarah Palin' on Saturday Night Live. Other posters praised the clip as 'brilliant,' 'on point' and 'perfect.' One user complained that Americans were forced to 'literally listen to this everyday.' 'MAGA believe and stake their lives on memes, but call any reporting or data into question and often see document records as a compelling reason to believe the opposite of what they indicate,' they added. Another viewers said they had 'given up' on trying to reason with Trump's most vocal fans, which they seemed to think the clip effectively illustrated. 'I don't know what is up in their heads, but it is not brains or the gift of reason,' they seethed. 'I am beginning to believe that they are not just stupid and ignorant, but they just do not take in any information that is going to challenge their current mindset.'
