🚨 MEDIA BLACKOUT: A Ukrainian refugee fled Putin’s war, to be stabbed to death on a U.S. train by a repeat criminal repeatedly freed by Democrat policies.
The media buried it. The Left excused it.
Here’s how soft-on-crime Democrats caused the murder of Iryna Zarutska
🧵👇
2/ Iryna Zarutska, 23, survived the Russian invasion—only to be killed on Aug 22 in Charlotte, NC.
Her murderer? Decarlos Brown Jr., a homeless man arrested & released 14 times for violent crimes.
Her story? Ignored for 17 days by CNN, NYT, WaPo, NBC, ABC, Reuters.
3/ Democrat Leaders Show “Compassion”… for the Killer
Charlotte’s Democrat Mayor Vi Lyles said:
“We will never arrest our way out of issues such as homelessness and mental health.”
Not a word for Zarutska.
This is what soft-on-crime “compassion” looks like: dead innocents.
4/ Wikipedia editors tried to DELETE her page, claiming “not notable.”
Axios mocked “MAGA influencers” for even raising the issue.
@glennhreynolds nailed it:
“Rabble-rousing is press power. But rabble-snoozing—keeping stories hidden—is far bigger.”
@glennhreynolds 5/ When George Floyd died, wall-to-wall coverage. And cities burned.
When Iryna Zarutska, a white refugee, was murdered by a black repeat offender? Silence.
The same weekend, a beloved Auburn professor was hacked to death with a machete. National media barely touched it.
@glennhreynolds 6/ Don't be a woman anywhere Democrats control!
Trump: “For far too long, Americans have been forced to put up with Democrat-run cities that set loose savage, bloodthirsty criminals to prey on innocent people.”
Catch-and-release policies killed Iryna. And not just her.
@glennhreynolds 7/ Charlotte by the Numbers:
• Crime index: 46 incidents per 1,000 residents
• Violent crime rate: 1 in 134 chance of victimization
• Last Republican mayor? 2009
16 years of Democrat rule → skyrocketing crime, few if any consequences.
@glennhreynolds 8/ Even @piersmorgan & @elonmusk blasted the blackout. Musk called it a hate crime.
He's right.
Meanwhile, legacy outlets delayed for weeks, then buried it under “context.”
This isn’t journalism. It’s narrative control.
@glennhreynolds @piersmorgan @elonmusk 9/ ⚠️ The Bottom Line
• Iryna Zarutska’s blood is on the hands of Democrats who endlessly free violent criminals.
• The Enemedia helped cover it up.
• And the Left wants YOU silenced for even noticing.
America deserves leaders who defend the innocent, not excuse the guilty.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump has canceled his upcoming meeting with Xi Jinping and announced 100% tariffs on Chinese goods starting Nov. 1.
His reason? Beijing just imposed global export controls on rare earths — the materials that power the modern world. 🧵👇
2/ China controls 92% of rare earth refining — metals essential for EVs, semiconductors, fighter jets, & submarines.
Beijing is weaponizing that — sending letters to nations warning it’ll restrict exports on “virtually anything.”
Trump called it “sinister and hostile.” ⚠️
3/ “They’re holding the world captive,” Trump said.
But he’s striking back:
💥 100% tariffs on all Chinese imports starting Nov. 1
💥 New U.S. countermeasures against Chinese trade blackmail
💥 Full economic response to defend U.S. supply chains & sovereignty 🇺🇸
🇮🇱🇺🇸 BREAKING: Celebrations erupt across Israel and Gaza.
Trump’s 20-point peace plan has reached its first major breakthrough: agreement for Hamas to release all Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners — with a ceasefire to follow.
History is happening. 🧵👇
2/ After talks in Egypt, both sides agreed to the first phase.
📦 All 48 remaining Israeli hostages will be freed within days.
💥 Hundreds of Palestinian prisoners will be released.
🕊️ A formal ceasefire follows Israel’s ratification tomorrow.
Families are calling Trump a peacemaker.
3/ One hostage’s wife wrote on X:
“My heart is overflowing with gratitude... Thank you, President Trump.”
At Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square, Israelis chanted “Thank you Trump! Thank you Netanyahu!”
That's EIGHT peace deals in eight months for Donald Trump.
New York AG Letitia James — who spent years failing to destroy Donald Trump for mortgage fraud — has now been indicted by a federal grand jury for...mortgage fraud.
The same woman who weaponized the law now faces justice herself. 🧵👇
2/ The indictment stems from an investigation into fraudulent mortgage filings.
James falsely claimed her Norfolk, Virginia home was her primary residence — to score a lower interest rate on a government-backed loan.
She allegedly lied on bank documents and property records.
3/ Federal Housing Finance Agency chief Bill Pulte first blew the whistle, alleging James may have also misrepresented a Brooklyn property to qualify for federal assistance.
He wrote:
“Letitia James falsified documents to obtain favorable terms and government-backed loans.”
