Deranged Nurse Fired After Urging Poisoning & Paralyzing Of ICE Agents

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,

A nurse at Virginia Commonwealth University Health has been terminated after posting a series of videos urging sabotage against ICE agents, including injecting them with paralytic drugs and poisoning their food and drinks.

Yes, really.

The unhinged suggestions highlight the escalating threats faced by law enforcement amid leftist campaigns to obstruct deportations of criminal illegal aliens.

In videos exposed by Libs of TikTok, the nurse, identified as Melinda, detailed various “resistance tips” targeted at ICE personnel.

She advised medical providers to “grab some syringes with needles on the end have them full of saline or succinylcholine you know whatever,” adding that succinylcholine “is a temporary paralyzing agent. It will eventually wear off and there will be no way to detect it afterwards.”

“So, if you see them struggling to breathe, you can definitely inject that into one of their muscles or veins and walk away and there will be no way to prove it,” she stated.

In another clip, she suggested harvesting poison ivy or oak, mixing it with water, and using a water gun to fire it in the faces of agents.

For single women, she proposed going on dates via apps like Tinder or Hinge to “find these guys, they’re around,” and to bring poison with them on dates, then “put it in their drinks, get them sick.”

She claimed, “You know, nobody’s going to die, just enough to incapacitate them, get off the street for the next day,” calling the tactic “easily deniable.”

She also urged targeting agents’ food sources: “Let’s get them where they eat… Where’s the hotel where they eat? Who makes that breakfast? Let’s find them you know let’s make their lives fucking miserable.”

Additional ideas included making living conditions bad, such as hiding “dead fish somewhere in the room,” and to “just stay toxic.”

Following the videos going viral, VCU Health launched an investigation and confirmed in a statement: “Following an investigation, the individual involved in the social media videos is no longer employed by VCU Health. In addition, VCU Health has fulfilled its reporting requirements under Virginia state law.”

According to reports, the matter has been referred to authorities, with potential legal consequences for the former employee.

What kind of deranged lunatic has these ideas and then goes ahead and makes a video incriminating themselves? 

The development comes as ICE faces a surge in harassment from radical activists opposed to the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts.

As we earlier highlighted, DHS recently released audio of deranged individuals leaving threatening voicemails wishing death on agents’ families. 

 

The culprits stole the personal data of agents by running number plates and then attempted to call them, before leaving the sickening recordings.

Again, this highlights how these mentally unwell morons don’t care about, or more likely haven’t even got the foresight to comprehend that they are incriminating themselves.

DHS has vowed to track down such agitators, with Border Czar Tom Homan establishing databases to expose harassers to their employers.

Amazon Exits Experimental Grocery Stores, Will Focus On Whole Foods, 'Supercenters'

Amazon Exits Experimental Grocery Stores, Will Focus On Whole Foods, 'Supercenters'

Amazon is shutting down its Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh grocery stores, marking a significant retrenchment from its most ambitious efforts to reinvent brick-and-mortar food retail. The move reflects the company’s conclusion that, despite years of experimentation, it has not yet found a physical grocery model that can scale profitably under the Amazon brand.

According to the company, Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh locations will all be shuttered by Feb. 1, with the exception of California locations which will remain open longer to comply with state requirements. Some of the shuttered locations will be converted into Whole Foods Market stores, underscoring where Amazon now sees durable value in physical grocery retail.

In short, Amazon is closing physical stores, but you can still order Amazon Fresh online for same-day delivery if they serve your address. 

“While we’ve seen encouraging signals in our Amazon-branded physical grocery stores, we haven’t yet created a truly distinctive customer experience with the right economic model needed for large-scale expansion,” Amazon's PR zoomers vomited forth in a blog post announcing the decision.

At the time of the announcement, Amazon operated 57 Amazon Fresh stores and 15 Amazon Go locations. The closures mark a sharp contrast with the performance of Whole Foods Market, which Amazon acquired in 2017. Since the acquisition, Whole Foods has delivered more than 40% sales growth and expanded to over 550 locations. Amazon said it plans to open more than 100 additional Whole Foods stores in the coming years.

The retreat does not signal an exit from groceries. Instead, Amazon is consolidating around areas where it believes it holds a structural advantage; online ordering, rapid delivery, and logistics at scale. The company said customers will continue to be able to shop Amazon Fresh online, with grocery delivery now available in roughly 5,000 U.S. cities and towns, including thousands with same-day delivery of produce and perishables alongside household staples. Amazon said it plans to expand same-day fresh grocery delivery further this year, citing strong customer feedback.

Amazon’s physical grocery experiments were closely watched as a test of whether technology could meaningfully reshape a notoriously low-margin business. Amazon Go stores, which debuted in Seattle in 2018, eliminated traditional checkout lines by using cameras and sensors to automatically charge customers as they left the store. Amazon Fresh stores, launched in 2020, combined national brands, fresh food and technology-enabled shopping features in a more conventional supermarket format.

While customers responded positively to some of these innovations, Amazon acknowledged that the stores did not yet deliver a compelling economic model. Grocery retail remains highly sensitive to real estate costs, labor, pricing pressure and operational complexity - factors that even Amazon’s technology could not easily overcome.

Importantly, Amazon is not abandoning the technology developed for these stores. The company said its Amazon Go locations served as “innovation hubs” for its “just walk out” checkout system, which is now deployed in more than 360 third-party locations across five countries. Amazon is also expanding the technology internally, with more than 40 North American fulfillment centers using it in employee breakrooms to speed food purchases, with additional locations planned.

At the same time, Amazon said it will continue to test new physical formats. The company revealed plans for a “new supercenter” concept that would allow customers to shop fresh groceries, household essentials and general merchandise in a single location, though it did not provide details on timing or scale. It is also piloting a new “Amazon Grocery” format embedded within select Whole Foods stores, allowing customers to shop for Amazon household essentials alongside traditional grocery items.

Waste Of The Day: "Zombie" Programs Live Again

Waste Of The Day: "Zombie" Programs Live Again

Authored by Jeremy Portnoy via RealClearInvestigations,

Topline: In fiscal year 2025, Congress funded 1,326 federal programs that had expired legal authorizations to receive taxpayer funding — the most since at least 2019, when the Congressional Budget Office began totaling the annual number.

Another 304 funded programs had authorizations that expired later in 2025.

These “zombie programs” cost taxpayers at least $500 billion in 2025, although CBO analysts were unable to determine how much money 869 of the programs actually received; the actual dollar total was far higher. 

Key facts: “Zombie programs” earn their nickname by living on for decades after their funding was legally scheduled to lapse. For example, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission was created by a 1981 law that allowed Congress to fund it until 1984. But Congress has continued to send it money every year, without passing a law that makes such funding legal. 

Oftentimes, Congress is too busy to reauthorize federal programs. Sarah Binder, professor of political science at George Washington University, previously told RealClearInvestigations that “Congress doesn’t have the time to do good institutional housecleaning … They don’t have the capacity to keep tabs on the authorizations.”

Binder argued that, if a program is currently funded by Congress, it would be unconstitutional for the president to shut it down simply because its authorization is expired. Yet for many zombie programs, it has been years since Congress voted to decide if they are an efficient use of taxpayer money. Funding is instead tucked into larger spending packages with thousands of pages.

Zombie programs from 2025 included the controversial Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which voted this January to shut itself down. Its legal authorization to receive taxpayer funding expired in 1996.

There were 22 zombie programs that expired during the 1980s.

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce funded 363 zombie programs, more than any other committee.

It remains unknown how many zombie programs will receive funding in 2026, as Congress had still not passed a full 2026 federal budget when the latest CBO report was released on Jan. 15. The CBO said another report will be issued “later this year.” 

There are 157 federal programs that received funding in 2025 but will expire in 2026. Another 180 programs will expire in 2027.

Summary: As the national debt continues to climb, federal programs that have not undergone a reauthorization vote in decades are prime candidates for potential cuts.

"Mother Nature Stops For No One": All Eyes On Next Winter Storm Threat For US East

"Mother Nature Stops For No One": All Eyes On Next Winter Storm Threat For US East

A day or so after the historic winter blast buried much of the eastern half of the US in snow and ice and unleashed dangerously cold air that strained power grids from ERCOT to PJM, forecasters are now tracking another winter threat with potential impact on the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast later this weekend.

Meteorologist Ben Knoll published a note earlier today that warned of "high confidence that a powerful storm, packing blizzard conditions, will form near the East Coast. How close or far that storm is from the coast is less certain."

On X, Knoll wrote:

Another day, another weather update! The last week has been among the busiest I've had in my career so far.

Mother Nature stops for no one, so the forecasts must keep flowing. Compared to yesterday, there’s a little more clarity in the weekend forecast, but it isn’t set in stone.

Will this weekend's powerful storm be closer to the coast or farther offshore? That's the key question. For now, the highest chances for impacts are along the coast from North Carolina's Outer Banks to southeast New England.

He noted:

This storm's strongest snow signals are located in the Carolinas, coastal Mid-Atlantic and coastal New England. Of course, there's a chance things trend back west, so keep watching!

Other meteorologists and private weather forecasters are beginning to post model guidance showing a potential winter storm threat for the Mid-Atlantic this weekend.

Transtifa 'Kyle' Says He's "On The Run" After Urging Comrades To "Get Your F**king Guns"

Transtifa 'Kyle' Says He's "On The Run" After Urging Comrades To "Get Your F**king Guns"

Update (Monday):

Transtifa "Kyle" said in a video posted on Instagram that he is "basically on the run" and has "safe places" and "evacuations planned out."

In recent days, Transtifa "Kyle" has incited violence on social media, stating, "Get your f—king guns and stop these f—king people."

Daily Wire's Brent Scher noted:

New videos from Antifa Kyle confirm that his Venmo account has been shut down. He says he needs a lawyer because his speech has been deemed "inciting violence," and claims he is now selling hoodies to raise money for the same cause.

"I am basically on the run now."

Comments from the Transtifa's original Instagram post:

Some people say the rebel could be a "fed"…

Whatever he is, whether Transtifa or something else according to the internet, the risk of social unrest across sanctuary cities as warmer weather approaches is certainly on the rise.

*   *   * 

About one year ago, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Counterterrorism Division conducted an unclassified briefing warning of an emerging domestic threat vector described as "nihilistic accelerationism." The briefing was around the time of a series of attacks in which left-wing militants firebombed Tesla vehicles at showrooms. These attacks were largely in response to President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's crusade against the federal bureaucracy through DOGE-related initiatives.

By late summer, less than two weeks before Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a left-wing activist, we published an assessment titled "America Has a 'Transtifa' Problem." The report probably stunned most people, and they couldn't believe their eyes as the accelerating convergence of militant ideology and left-wing activism was beginning to unleash chaos.

Weeks later, we penned another note, titled "Planning War Against Fascists" - Socialist Rifle Association Boasts 10,000 Members... In our opinion, the profiling of these left-wing activists, from the Tesla Takedown fueled by dark-money funded NGOs (permanent protest industrial complex) and the militant left to anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, to the political assassination of Kirk, only suggested to us that left-wing chaos would accelerate into the new year.

The nation has entered a dangerous period, as the turmoil in Minneapolis could be replicated in other sanctuary cities when warmer weather arrives.

Left-wing activists are reported to be operating shadow police-style networks on Signal to target federal immigration agents, possibly in coordination with local police and with individuals linked to Gov. Walz, in efforts to impede federal deportation operations. The clashes between activists and federal agents have already resulted in multiple shootings, including two fatal ones. 

The chaos emanating from left-wing activists surprisingly and recently prompted deep state publication The Atlantic to pen a note titled, "Left-Wing Terrorism Is on the Rise."

Following the chaos on Saturday, in which another activist was shot and killed by federal agents after an altercation, X users are reporting that Minneapolis's "Antifa General," AKA Kyle Wagner, has urged his comrades: "Get your f—king guns and stop these f—king people"

Citizen journalist Andy Ngo reported:

"Get your f—king guns and stop these f—king people"

A Minnesota Antifa member-turned-social media influencer and online recruiter named Kyle Wagner is urging his comrades to take up arms to kill agents of the federal government. His recruitment videos are on @instagram , which has become popular for the far-left in organizing violence due to its reach with mainstream liberals.

Wagner has branded himself on the neck with the gang tattoo of the Antifa "Iron Front" logo, similar to how neo-Nazis brand themselves with fascist symbols.

The cross-dressing activist ...

Others report:

This has been a long time in the making. Our reporting from 2017:

Democrats spent a decade creating target profiles on Trump and all of MAGA. 

Trump White House staffers should probably take retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn's advice and run with it (read here).
