Unhinged student who flipped Turning Point USA table gets arrested and faces 5 charges

A 19-year-old student is facing five charges after being identified as the person who flipped a Turning Point USA display table at the University of Iowa campus.

A TPUSA social media account posted video of the altercation where a smiling student walks up to the display table of hot chocolate and then overturns it before walking away. The TPUSA members then cheerfully begin to clean up the mess on the video.

‘While the outcome of these investigations are considered confidential, discipline is based on the severity of the violation.’

Authorities identified the suspect as Justin Pham Calhoon and booked him into the Johnson County Jail on Wednesday.

TPUSA reported that Calhoon was charged with two counts of disorderly conduct, fifth-degree criminal mischief, and two counts of third-degree harassment.

A university spokesperson confirmed the arrest to the College Fix.

“All Iowa students are expected to follow the Code of Student Life, which sets standards for student behavior and conduct,” Chris Brewer wrote. “While the outcome of these investigations are considered confidential, discipline is based on the severity of the violation.”

Cabot Phillips, an editor at the Daily Wire, then posted a video appearing to show the same person overturning a table before his event at the university.

“This same student literally did the exact same thing last week ahead of my event there,” he posted on social media.

That incident is from Oct. 25, according to the University of Iowa Department of Public Safety.

The student wore a dress in the second video, leading many to believe Calhoon identified as transgender.

Calhoon has no prior criminal history aside from a traffic violation.

A Blaze News request for comment to Turning Point USA was not immediately answered.

Female caught on video tossing cup of scalding coffee on McDonald’s manager, who suffers burns

A female was caught on video tossing a cup of scalding coffee on a McDonald’s manager in Michigan earlier this week — and the manager suffered burns as a result, MLive reported.

The incident took place Tuesday morning at a McDonald’s at 3700 Dixie Highway in Buena Vista Township, the outlet said. Buena Vista Township is a few miles east of Saginaw.

‘F**k you, b***h! Catch that hot-a** coffee!’

Buena Vista Township Police Detective Russ Pahssen told MLive that the female manager called 911 saying an angry customer assaulted her.

More from MLive:

The customer had placed an online order and sought a refund for two sandwiches, Pahssen said. Another patron recorded the last two minutes of the interaction at the restaurant’s front counter.

The manager handed the customer a coffee and tried pacifying her, while the customer claimed she had been there for more than an hour, the footage shows. The conversation reaching an impasse, the manager told the customer to have a great day and turned to walk away.

The female customer removed the lid from the coffee cup, threw the contents at the manager, and yelled, “F**k you, bitch! Catch that hot-ass coffee!” as she exited the restaurant, according to video of the encounter without redacted audio.

The video also shows the McDonald’s manager screaming after the coffee hits her body.

Pahssen told MLive the manager suffered minor burns; the outlet noted that the coffee burned her back and left arm.

Pahssen shared video of the assault on Facebook and asked the public to help identify the assailant, the outlet said.

“I must have gotten about 100 tips,” Pahssen noted to MLive. “Within about two minutes, we had her identified.”

The following is video of the encounter with redacted audio; the coffee toss takes place toward the end of the clip just after the 1:45 mark:

However, Pahssen said officers weren’t able to locate the 48-year-old suspect, MLive reported, adding that police have submitted paperwork to the Saginaw County Prosecutor’s Office, requesting she be charged with felonious assault.

Investigators did not name the woman Thursday because she had not been arraigned on any criminal charges, WJRT-TV reported.

ISLAMIC INFILTRATION: Muslims reveal their takeover plan

The Islamic plan to take over the U.S. is well under way, and it has been long before NYC’s new Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani, took office.

“Zohran Mamdani winning is a huge victory for radical Islamists everywhere, honestly, because it’s legitimizing the fact that Muslims can just, they’re just going to take over America,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

“And what they’re going to do is, they’re going to do it right before your very eyes. And what they know is that there are a bunch of white people who live here who are too scared to say the things that they’re actually thinking,” she continues, before playing an older clip of an Islamic man preaching to a crowd in New York City.

“We’re done hiding. We’re done. We’re done being tortured and hurt and judged. This is the correct religion. This is the religion that all of humanity needs to be a part of, Islam. And we will not stop until it enters every home,” he boomed into the microphone.

“There is no God worthy of worship except Allah,” he added.

And in another clip, Muslim Brotherhood leaders detail their plan to conquer the West.

“Seven hundred years of our trial to conquer Europe by force failed. They did something wrong, very wrong. They tried for many years to conquer Europe through wars, only wars,” one Muslim Brotherhood leader was recorded saying on a Zoom call.

In another clip, a man named Dr. Mudar Zahran explains what’s going on as “the soft Islamic conquest of the West.”

“What we couldn’t do in the last, say, 20 years now, the West is doing it for us for free, and even paying for it,” he added.

“They’re laughing in our faces,” Gonzales says.

“They are planning a takeover openly, and nobody wants to talk about it,” she adds.

Teacher shot by 6-year-old student awarded millions of dollars in civil lawsuit

A Virginia teacher who was shot by a 6-year-old student in Jan. 2023 successfully sued a former school administrator she accused of ignoring warning signs.

Abigail Zwerner was shot once in the hand and the chest in her first-grade classroom at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News. She was hospitalized for two weeks, and the boy’s mother was later convicted on gun charges.

‘A gun changes everything. You stop and you investigate. … You get to the bottom of it to know whether that gun is real and on campus so you can deal with it. But that’s not what happened.’

Zwerner’s civil lawsuit accused former assistant principal Ebony Parker of ignoring several warnings, including one from Zwerner herself. The teacher told Parker that the student had been in a “violent mood” and threatened to beat another child.

Another teacher reportedly told Parker that students had reported the boy as having a gun in his backpack.

On Thursday, the jury awarded Zwerner $10 million in damages.

Parker did not reportedly react when the verdict was read.

“I remember just three years ago, almost to this day, hearing for the first time Abby’s story and thinking that this could have been prevented,” one of Zwerner’s attorneys said outside the courthouse. “So now to hear from a jury of her peers that they agree that this tragedy could have been prevented.”

Zwerner’s attorney, Kevin Biniazan, argued in court that the report of a gun should have stopped everything at the school.

“A gun changes everything. You stop and you investigate,” Biniazan said. “You get to the bottom of it to know whether that gun is real and on campus so you can deal with it. But that’s not what happened.”

He added, “What number do you arrive at for somebody who didn’t want this and it’s been inserted into her life like a bullet fragment against her spine?”

The family of the student released a statement saying he was suffering from an “acute disability.” The child was never charged, on account of his young age. His grandfather said in an interview that he thought the attention on the case was racially motivated.

Zwerner testified at the trial about her recollections from the shooting.

“I thought I had died,” she said. “I thought I was either on my way to heaven or in heaven. But then it all got black, and so I then thought I wasn’t going there.”

The mother of the student, Deja Taylor, was sentenced to 21 months in prison for federal firearm and drugs charges, as well as two years for child neglect. Parker has also been criminally charged with eight counts of felony child abuse with disregard for life — one count for every bullet in the gun.

Interest on the award starts as of June 1, 2024.
