Georgia man allegedly threatened to kill Pam Bondi and stab Kristi Noem’s eyes out ‘with a dull knife’

A man from Georgia was arrested for allegedly making graphic threats against Kristi Noem, the former head of the Dept. of Homeland Security, and Pam Bondi, former U.S. Attorney General.

Elliott Owen Schroer of Toccoa made the threats on the X social media platform in early April, according to federal prosecutors.

Schroer was ordered to wear an electronic tracking device while out on bond and was banned from using any social media account.

Schroer allegedly said he would kill Bondi, but his threats to Noem were far more graphic:

“I will stab your eyes out with a dull knife.””I will blow your esophagus out the back of your neck with a 12 gauge slug.””We will put your head on a stake.”

The man was arraigned in federal court and released on a $10,000 bond.

Schroer was ordered to wear an electronic tracking device while out on bond and was banned from using any social media account.

He also cannot possess a firearm, drink alcohol, or contact either Bondi or Noem.

President Donald Trump fired Bondi in early April, and Noem was fired from DHS in March. The latter was named the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas by the president.

The allegations against Schroer are especially alarming as President Donald Trump was allegedly targeted for another assassination attempt during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

The White House was also briefly placed on lockdown after an armed man fired at Secret Service agents after they spotted him carrying a firearm at the National Mall.

Schroer is scheduled for a pretrial on May 29.

‘How is this any different from “whites only”?’ Sara Gonzales confronts organizer of Muslim-only water park event

Earlier this week, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales blasted a Muslim-only event for taking over a water park in Grand Prairie, Texas — and Governor Greg Abbott (R) swiftly threatened to pull funding from the city and shut it down.

What initially caught Gonzales’ eye was the event flyer, which said “Muslims only” twice. The flyer was later updated to say “modest dress only” once it became a topic of controversy.

“I want to just set the record straight, because I know there’s been a lot of confusion. You did have the ‘Muslims only’ on the original flyer, and then you changed it and updated it on the site to read ‘modest dress only,’ correct?” Gonzales asks the organizer of the event, Dr. Aminah Knight.

“Absolutely, absolutely,” Knight responds.

Knight explains that in years past, the flyer has only been circulated privately and never caused any issues until now.

“A few days ago, the New York Post contacted me, and they said, ‘Hey, did you know that your flyer in this event is going viral?’ And I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’” Knight tells Gonzales.

“And then my husband also let me know, ‘Hey, there’s this guy who, he’s kind of historic for having Islamaphobic rhetoric, to be honest. He got ahold of the flyer, and he is saying, “Oh my gosh, the Muslims are doing this event. They’re trying to exclude people” and X, Y, and Z,'” she continues.

“And so I quickly changed the flyer,” she adds.

“It does read like you were trying to exclude non-Muslims, and I just wonder, you know, I know that you feel like you were wronged in this, but I just wonder if you feel like it would be fair for, say, a private group to rent out a publicly funded water park and put on, you know, their posters, ‘This is for whites only,’” Gonzales argues.

Knight responds that unlike white people, marginalized groups like the black and Muslim communities “oftentimes need to take a moment to gather, fortify each other and then go back out into the world.”

She also tells Gonzales that at the heart of the event are young Muslim girls, whom she wants to inspire to dress modestly in a society where the “standard of beauty that they see around them has to do with how sexy they are and how much of their skin they can show.”

“My question actually was how is this any different than … a whites-only, you know, KKK party at a publicly funded water park?” Gonzales says, pointing out that there are discrimination laws under which you cannot have private events that exclude people based on religion.

“So how do you think that that’s OK?” she asks.

“Muslims uphold a modest dress code, and we’re celebrating our EID events. … I didn’t think anything was wrong with that,” Knight responds, later telling Gonzales that she did not expect Gonzales to “be so aggressive.”

“By asking if it would be OK if we could do a whites-only event as well and how that was different?” Gonzales asks.

“It’s just your tone,” Knight says.

Elderly man dies after suspect — who was in police custody just hours earlier — shoves him down subway steps: NYPD

An elderly man has died after the suspect in his killing — who was in police custody just hours earlier — shoved him down subway entrance steps in New York City on Thursday night, police told WCBS-TV.

The attack against the 76-year-old man occurred just before 9:30 p.m. in the city’s Chelsea neighborhood at West 18th Street and 7th Avenue, the station said.

‘Disgusting.’

Responding officers found Ross Falzone on the subway stairs with head injuries, WCBS said, adding that he was rushed to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition and later died.

The station said police believe they know who carried out the crime since the suspect was taken into custody earlier Thursday.

Police told WCBS that officers around 3:30 p.m. Thursday encountered the suspect behaving erratically outside the NYPD’s 17th Precinct.

The male was taken into custody, the station said, and officers brought him to Bellevue Hospital. WCBS said he was taken to the psychiatric emergency room for evaluation — and released an hour later.

Surveillance video around 9:30 p.m. Thursday recorded Falzone approaching the subway — and the same male who had been taken into custody earlier in the day was seen walking quickly behind him and then shoving the elderly victim down the steps, police told WCBS.

Falzone struck his head about halfway down the steps, the station added.

Emergency responders were called, WCBS said, adding that Falzone was rushed to Bellevue Hospital but died just before 3 a.m. Friday.

Police are searching for the suspect, the station said, adding that the NYPD hasn’t released his name or description.

Observers commenting under the WCBS video report about the elderly man’s death are beyond done. Some examples:

“This is what you vote for in blue city NY,” one commenter said.”Disgusting,” another user stated.”There will be no justice,” another commenter lamented.”The powers that be do this because they’re not scared of being dragged out and held accountable,” another user declared.

Utah Supreme Court justice abruptly RESIGNS after accusation involving redistricting attorney

A Utah Supreme Court justice resigned from the court after being accused of a conflict of interest from a personal relationship with the former attorney for the League of Women Voters.

Justice Diana Hagen recused herself from all cases involving David Reymann in May 2025, but new suspicions were raised due to allegations from her ex-husband.

She claimed that she recused herself from cases involving Reymann after reconnecting.

Reymann had been the lead attorney arguing that Republican redistricting efforts in the state were illegal.

The complaint alleging Hagen had been biased in siding against redistricting was submitted to both Chief Justice Matthew Durrant and the Judicial Conduct Commission in Dec. 2025.

Hagen denied any wrongdoing.

“The insinuation that I was ethically compromised while carrying out my official duties is patently false,” she said in a previous statement.

She admitted that she reconnected with friends in the wake of her failed marriage in 2025, and one of those friends was Reymann. She claimed that she recused herself from cases involving Reymann after reconnecting.

The Utah Supreme Court dismissed the complaint after an investigation.

“As the sole entity authorized to investigate allegations of misconduct against a judge, the Judicial Conduct Commission received the allegations in their entirety and conducted an independent investigation,” the court said. “The Judicial Conduct Commission completed their investigation in accordance with their constitutional and statutory authority and dismissed the complaint against Justice Hagen.”

The court added that some related documents had been “inappropriately released to the public.”

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) said that the state would announce the process to fill Hagen’s seat in the coming days.

Hagen was nominated to the highest Utah court by Gov. Cox in 2022.
