Marco Rubio Sends Warning to ‘Terrorists' After Boulder Attack
Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a warning Monday about the immigration status of 'terrorists' and their family members after Sunday's antisemitic attack in Colorado. 'In light of yesterday's horrific attack, all terrorists, their family members, and terrorist sympathizers here on a visa should know that under the Trump Administration we will find you, revoke your visa, and deport you,' Rubio wrote on X. On Sunday, a man in Boulder, Colorado allegedly used a flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to set people on fire during a gathering for hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. The number of victims currently stands at 12, including an 88-year-old Holocuast refugee. Two victims were still hospitalized as of Monday afternoon. The suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, told investigators he 'wanted to kill all Zionist people.' Soliman had overstayed his B2 visa, which expired in February 2023, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin wrote on X. Soliman is an Egyptian national, law enforcement told CNN and other outlets. Soliman prepared for the attack for over a year and 'planned on dying' during it, according to the arrest warrant. 'He said he had to do it, he should do it, and he would not forgive himself if he did not do it,' the warrant read. Soliman faces 16 counts of attempted first degree murder, which carries a maximum sentence of 384 years. Other charges relate to the use of attempted use of an incendiary device. His bail was set at $10 million. Despite what Rubio implied in his social media post, Justice Department prosecutors filed one hate crime charge but no terrorism-related charge. At Monday's press conference, FBI special agent Mark Michalek said Soliman appears to have acted alone, but the agency will continue to investigate. 'If we uncover evidence that others knew of this attack or supported the subject in this attack, rest assured that we will aggressively move to hold them accountable to the fullest extent of the law,' Michalek said. An affidavit for the federal hate crime charge obtained by the Associated Press shows that Soliman lived in Colorado Springs with his wife and five children. Their immigration status wasn't immediately clear. Michalek said Soliman's family was 'cooperative' during a search of his residence Sunday night.

Zohran Mamdani's Holocaust non-vote disqualifies him from NYC's mayoralty
New York has seen more than its share of flawed pols over the years, but no major mayoral candidate has ever been as morally bankrupt — and antisemitic — as Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. No way should he be allowed anywhere near City Hall. That's clear after the news that Mamdani couldn't bring himself to vote for resolutions in Albany recognizing the Holocuast and Israeli statehood. Advertisement This, in a city with more Jews than any other in the world. The resolutions weren't the least bit controversial — that is, for anyone with even a shred of moral sense. Advertisement In the past Mamdani has cheered similar resolutions for everything from Neurodiversity Pride Day, Juneteenth and Lunar New Year to Women's History Month, Disabilities Awareness Day and Korean American Day. His spokesman, Andrew Epstein, insists Mamdani backs the one on Holocaust Memorial Day too but wants to 'narrow down' the number he signed. Right. He just happened to draw the line at recognizing Nazi Germany's murder of 6 million Jews. Advertisement In fact, he's already made it clear how much he despises the Jewish state: On Oct. 8, 2023, the day after Jews suffered their worst horror since the Holocaust, he condemned Israel. He vows that, as mayor, he'd arrest Benjamin Netanyahu should the Israeli leader dare set foot in New York. No wonder ex-Rep. Jamaal Bowman — who pooh-poohed reports that Hamas raped women en masse on Oct. 7 — happily endorsed Mamdani this week. And Mamdani happily accepted the endorsement: They're antisemitic peas in a pod. Advertisement Set aside the rest of Mamdani's socialist agenda, and even his support for defunding cops in 2020: The shameless Jew-hate is all you really need to know about him. All New Yorkers should find his antisemitism and hatred of Israel utterly repulsive — and disqualifying. When it comes time for ranked-choice voting for the Democratic nomination for mayor next month, no one should rank Mamdani at all.
