A little-known Florida congressional candidate has posted a bizarre campaign video that went from firing off basic political talking points into something far darker — that Donald Trump is the “Antichrist” and “must be killed.”In the campaign video, retired Marine William Upham explained that he decided to run for office to fix the “broken political system, to restore bipartisanship, return power to the working class, and to end our system of Washington insiders, extremism, and excuses from our current members of Congress.”“I’ve reached a turning point in my campaign. Why? I’ve come to the realization that our country is broken. We are led by a president who’s the enemy of God. And President Trump will never bring us together like God intended,” he said.Upham went on to explain that the video was a “message to all of God’s children” in America.“We must defend ourselves against all enemies. We are at war with evil. This is a war between God and the Antichrist. There is no doubt in my mind that the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump is the Antichrist,” he said, adding, “He is a false messiah, and he is your enemy, and he must be killed.”Upham went on to explain that the reason he believes Trump is the Antichrist is because “President Trump posted an AI-generated image of him in the likeness of Jesus Christ” and that he “also criticized the pope.”“If you've criticized the pope, I guess you're an Antichrist,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray comments, shocked.“So there are tens of millions of Antichrists running around this planet because a lot of people have criticized the pope,” he adds.The Marine was promptly visited by the Secret Service and arrested for his threat.“He didn’t necessarily say he would kill, but he said he must be killed, which is bad enough,” Gray comments, adding, “You can’t do it.”Want more from Pat Gray?To enjoy more of Pat's biting analysis and signature wit as he restores common sense to a senseless world, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

On Monday, the Department of War identified the fallen soldiers as 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas, both of whom were killed during an enemy attack at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan.

Tyler James Feehan, who died on Saturday, was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 55th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 32nd Army Air Missile Defense Command, Fort Bragg, North Carolina."1st Lt. Feehan’s unwavering dedication to our mission, our values, and the air defenders he led will leave an enduring legacy,” Brig. Gen.

Their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve," Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said on Saturday, following an initial CENTCOM announcement of the casualties. The CENTCOM post added that four American service members were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals and have since been discharged. Other personnel were evaluated for minor injuries and have since returned to duty. CENTCOM also announced that "one service member is currently missing," in the same Saturday post. The identity of the missing service member has not yet been confirmed, though a Central Command public release announced that U.S. military personnel found unidentified remains at the location on Sunday. The remains were being examined at the time of the release.In the same release, CENTCOM announced a separate incident in northern Iraq that left one U.S. service member dead and another wounded during a "controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian one-way attack drone."This brings the casualties over the weekend to at least three, with many more injuries being reported as well. These announcements come at the end of more than a week of consecutive strikes against Iran as ceasefire negotiations continued to deteriorate. On Sunday, CENTCOM announced the conclusion of the ninth consecutive evening of strikes to "further diminish Iran's ability to attack commercial vessels and civilian mariners transiting the Strait of Hormuz."Like Blaze News?

A potential massacre at a Christian high school in Nebraska was thwarted thanks to the swift action taken by school officials and the Nebraska State Patrol.Columbus Catholic Schools, a unified educational system that serves over 850 students in Nebraska, received a message on June 26 threatening Scotus Central Catholic, a Christ-centered high school in Columbus.'The heated political rhetoric that too often leads to radicalization and violence must cool off.'Jeff Ohnoutka, the executive director of CCS, said in a statement on Friday that after he was made aware of the "disturbing threat," he immediately brought it to the attention of the NSP and the Columbus Police Department.According to the NSP, the message "included a threat of violence to the school and Governor Pillen's family."Republican Governor Jim Pillen and his wife, Suzanne, have four children and seven grandchildren. The family is Roman Catholic.In a post under the name "Bobby McGee" on the Facebook page for Columbus Catholic Schools, 32-year-old homosexual Ean Halstead of Omaha allegedly wrote, "I’m going to shoot up this school and kill Jim Pillen’s children and a few nuns for (expletive) funsies," reported WOWT-TV.RELATED: International pro-life leader assassinated at home Gov. Jim Pillen (R). Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call Inc./Getty ImagesWithin hours of learning of the threat, authorities identified an apartment in Omaha that was linked to the IP address associated with the social media post.Authorities promptly made contact with Halstead outside an apartment complex on Bedford Avenue, but "the man refused commands from troopers, ran to the apartment, and barricaded himself inside," said the NSP.Law enforcement on the scene — reinforced by NSP SWAT — obtained a search warrant for the residence as well as an arrest warrant and were able ultimately to coax the suspect out and into handcuffs without incident.Halstead was initially charged with obstructing a police officer and failure to obey a lawful order.Following further investigation and an examination of electronic items seized during a search of his residence, the NSP rearrested Halstead on July 17 and charged him with terroristic threats and destruction of evidence.Halstead is currently being held at the Douglas County Department of Corrections. The NSP told Blaze News that the investigation remains ongoing.According to court documents reviewed by the Plains Sentinel, Halstead has a "history of violent tendencies" and was previously slapped with a protection order from an ex-boyfriend for allegedly brandishing a knife and threatening to "kill him and their dogs while they slept."WOWT reported that Halstead was convicted for threatening his ex-lover and setting his bedroom on fire while filming.Gov. Pillen's chief of staff, Dave Lopez, said in a statement, "We are extremely grateful to the dedicated investigators of the Nebraska State Patrol and allied law enforcement agencies for their quick and thorough work to track down this individual and ensure the security of the First Family.""We have zero tolerance for political violence here in Nebraska, including threats to carry it out," continued Lopez. "If you threaten violence against a public official or their family in this state, you will be found and held accountable. The heated political rhetoric that too often leads to radicalization and violence must cool off."Ohnoutka thanked the NSP and Columbus Police Department "for their service to our state and the city of Columbus.""May God continue to bless Columbus Catholic Schools," he added.Halstead's threat comes nearly one year after a trans-identifying man formerly known as Robert Westman shot up a Catholic church full of schoolchildren in Minneapolis, injuring 23 and killing two kids, ages 8 and 10. The shooter, who committed suicide at the scene, left behind a mountain of evidence indicating that he was motivated by hatred for the Catholic Church and President Donald Trump.Like Blaze News?
