A Change.org petition demanding the removal of North Carolina Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes has drawn more than 11,000 signatures following the fatal stabbing of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska. The effort, amplified by Rep. Pat Harrigan (R-NC) in a new video, calls for consequences after Decarlos Brown Jr., a repeat offender with 14 prior convictions, was released without bail before allegedly murdering the 23-year-old woman on Charlotte’s light rail. The petition, launched two weeks ago by X user @MyLordBebo in the wake of Zarutska’s August 22 murder, urges the North Carolina Judicial Standards Commission to remove Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes from the bench and investigate her past rulings. “It was devastating to see a harmless woman minding her own business and being slaughtered for nothing,” the creator told Breitbart News in an exclusive statement. “After I found that a judge let Decarlos out on cashless bail it made me angry. We need to remove the judge to save the next Iryna and provide justice for the unfortunate soul Iryna Zarutska.” Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice. The charges were brought after the Trump administration replaced the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Erik Siebert, with White House aide Lindsey Halligan, who sought an immediate indictment from the grand jury before the statute of limitations could expire next Tuesday. Without mentioning Comey by name, Attorney General Pam Bondi declared in a post on X that the indictment serves to prove “no one is above the law.” According to NBC News, the charges likely “stem from testimony Comey gave on Sept. 30, 2020, during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. “Asked by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, about testimony he gave in 2017 asserting that he did not authorize leaking information regarding the FBI’s investigations into President Donald Trump or former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Comey said, ‘I stand by the testimony,'” noted NBC News. “Comey’s deputy, Andrew McCabe, has said that Comey authorized him to leak information to the press, according to a 2018 Justice Department inspector general’s report.... In July, the FBI launched an investigation into former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey over their roles in the investigation surrounding President Donald Trump and Russia’s alleged collusion. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/09/25/former-fbi-director-james-comey-indicted-on-2-counts/ Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered hundreds of U.S. military leaders, including generals and admirals, to gather on short notice next week at a U.S. Marine Corps base in Virginia. According to the Washington Post, the directive included “virtually all of the military’s top commanders worldwide” and was issued this week. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed to the Post that Hegseth “will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week,” while offering no further details. He also expressed no concerns about the meeting. A disturbing Halloween display appears to advocate for violence against supporters of President Donald Trump at a neighborhood in Houston, Texas. Video of the grotesque mock execution shows two mannequins, a male and female, being hanged by rope beneath a small Mexican flag. The pair are wearing red hats that appear to mimic the "Make America Great Again" hats of the pro-Trump movement. They are also wearing black face masks, which could allude to the controversy over federal immigration officials wearing masks during their operations. Next to them is another mannequin with a colorful poncho and hat. Above the display flies a larger Mexican flag, and below the mannequins are two coffins, in case the message wasn't already clear enough. https://www.theblaze.com/news/halloween-maga-hat-hanged-display
