A real Sheriff's warning to the lawless: A breath of fresh air in these times of riots


'We Will Kill You': Brevard Sheriff Fires Stern Warning at Protestors Targeting Police in Riots

Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey issued a blunt, no B.S. warning Wednesday to potential rioters looking to commit violence as the county gears up for this weekend's No Kings Day Protests, which intend to push back against actions by President Donald Trump and his administration.

Ivey put out his "FAFO" ultimatum during a press conference with Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier in Titusville.

“If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at. Because we will kill you, graveyard dead. We’re not gonna play,” Ivey said.

Ivey continued with his ominous warning to agitators.

“If you resist lawful orders, you’re going to jail, let me be very clear about that,” Ivey added. “If you block an intersection or a roadway in Brevard County, you are going to jail. If you flee arrest, you’re going to go to jail tired, because we are going to run you down and put you in jail.”

The sheriff's unminced words come as violent reactions continue in Los Angeles over immigration raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In some cases, protestors have thrown rocks at police cars on the Los Angeles Freeway and have tried to stop ICE vehicles from leaving raids in the city.

Critics have argued tensions from the protests worsened after Trump ordered thousands of National Guard troops and 700 US Marines to the city to mitigate the violence.

“If you try to mob rule a car in Brevard County gathering around it, refusing to let the driver leave, in our county, you’re most likely going to get run over and dragged across the street,” Ivey said. “If you spit on us, you’re going to the hospital and in jail. If you hit one of us, you’re going to the hospital and jail, and most likely get bitten by one of our big, beautiful dogs that we have here.”

About 75 No Kings Day protests are expected across Florida. The protests also fall on the same day as Flag Day and Trump's scheduled military parade celebrating the U.S. Army's 250th Birthday in Washington, D.C.

“This has got to stop. You’re watching what’s taking place out there," Ivey said. "You’re seeing police officers that are being attacked, being spit on, being put in harm’s way just for doing their jobs. You’re seeing ICE agents that are being targeted for doing their jobs, and you’re seeing obstructionists that are doing all of this standing in the way of law and order.”

Former appointee of Tim Walz sought in deadly shootings of Minnesota lawmaker and her husband, had ‘No Kings’ flyers in car: sources


A former appointee of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is being sought in connection with the assassination of a state lawmaker and the shooting of another, police sources said.

Vance Luther Boelter allegedly posed as a police officer when he shot Sen. John Hoffman and his wife in their Champlin home early Saturday, leaving them seriously injured before moving on to former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman’s house — where he is believed to have slaughtered her and her husband, sources told The Post.

Anti-ICE protester exposed as serial left-wing activist since 1980s,

The activist justified blocking New York City traffic by saying it was only 'temporary.'

Two anti-immigration enforcement protesters who blocked New York City traffic this week have been revealed as long-time activists, with one participating in protests since the 1980s.

The two activists were filmed on Tuesday morning blocking traffic on Houston Street in Lower Manhattan. One of the New Yorkers in the stopped traffic, a mother, pleaded with the activists to move out of the way so she could get to work. The activists instead told her there was nothing they could do, with one even laughing at the idea that she had a job to get to.

'We were preventing the cars from driving into the marchers. There were at least 10,000 of them behind us.'

The two activists, who were part of a protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arresting illegal immigrants, were identified by the Daily Mail as individuals who have been involved in left-wing activism for years.

One activist, identified as Karen Ramspacher, is a 60-year-old who has engaged in activism since at least 1989. As the Daily Mail noted, Ramspacher was quoted in a 1989 issue of OutWeek magazine about being arrested at an abortion rights protest.

USAID official and contractors defraud taxpayers of $550 million. No wonder Democrats want USAID to continue!


Suspects plead guilty to crooked scheme.

A decade-long fraud and bribery scheme involving the United States Agency for International Development further reinforced the Trump administration's case for restructuring the fraud-plagued agency.

On Thursday, Trump's Department of Justice published a press release announcing that a former USAID official and three senior leaders from three private companies pleaded guilty to a massive plot to defraud American taxpayers dating back to 2013.

The scheme involved at least 14 contracts totaling over $550 million in taxpayer funds

Suspects plead guilty to crooked scheme.

A decade-long fraud and bribery scheme involving the United States Agency for International Development further reinforced the Trump administration's case for restructuring the fraud-plagued agency.

On Thursday, Trump's Department of Justice published a press release announcing that a former USAID official and three senior leaders from three private companies pleaded guilty to a massive plot to defraud American taxpayers dating back to 2013.

The scheme involved at least 14 contracts totaling over $550 million in taxpayer funds.

'A former USAID employee and three others were using funds to pay for things like a lavish country club wedding and a Martha's Vineyard estate, all on the taxpayer's dime.'

Roderick Watson, who previously worked as a USAID contracting officer, agreed to receive bribes from Darryl Britt, then owner and president of Apprio Inc., to influence contracts awarded to the company.

Early in the scheme, PM Consulting Group LLC, doing business as Vistant, was a subcontractor to Apprio on one of the awarded contracts.

Between 2018 and 2022, Apprio lost its eligibility to be a prime contractor for new USAID contracts under the SBA 8(a) contracting program. Apprio and Vistant responded by switching around their scheme, allowing Vistant to act as the prime contractor and Apprio its subcontractor.

Britt and Walter Barnes, Vistant's then-owner and president, bribed Watson, often funneling money through Paul Young, then president of a subcontractor to the two companies. Britt and Barnes also hid their illegal activities through fake invoices and falsely listed Watson and shell companies on electronic bank transfers. 

Their bribes also included electronics, suite tickets to an NBA game, two residential mortgage down payments, and employment for relatives.

Watson allegedly received $1 million in bribes.

The DOJ explained how Watson used his influence to ensure that Apprio and Vistant received the USAID awards.

"In exchange for the bribe payments, Watson influenced the award of contracts to Apprio and Vistant by manipulating the procurement process at USAID through various means, including recommending their companies to other USAID decisionmakers for non-competitive contract awards, disclosing sensitive procurement information during the competitive bidding process, providing positive performance evaluations to a government agency, and approving decisions on the contracts, such as increased funding and a security clearance," the press release read.

In connection with the fraud scheme, Apprio and Vistant agreed to admit criminal liability and engage in deferred prosecution agreements for three years, which require the companies to submit disclosures to the DOJ.

"As part of these resolutions, both Apprio and Vistant admitted to engaging in a conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official and securities fraud," the department stated.

The DOJ noted Apprio's and Vistant's cooperation in its investigation and credited the companies for their "timely remedial measures."

Watson pleaded guilty to bribery by a public official and faces up to 15 years in prison. His sentencing is scheduled for October 6.

Barnes pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official and securities fraud. His sentencing is slated for October 14, and he faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison.

Britt pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official and faces up to five years in prison. His sentencing is scheduled for July 28.

Young pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official. He is looking at a maximum penalty of five years in prison and faces sentencing on September 3.

A senior State Department official told Blaze News, "These guilty pleas further underscore the need for State Department oversight over U.S. foreign aid. A former USAID employee and three others were using funds to pay for things like a lavish country club wedding and a Martha's Vineyard estate, all on the taxpayer's dime. The Trump administration remains relentless in defending American taxpayers' dollars and weeding out waste, fraud, and abuse from our federal government."

Apprio Inc., and Vistant did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.
