Charlie Kirk was murdered seven months ago and they still haven't learned a thing.
Now a Chicago man just sent the CIA a step-by-step assassination plan for Donald Trump – and signed his real name to it.
And what he wrote about Barron Trump will stop you cold.
Michael Kovco Signed His Real Name to the White House Threat
Michael Kovco, 29, didn't fire off an anonymous message and wait.
He logged onto the official White House website on March 17, typed out a plan to kill the president and his 20-year-old son, and included his personal phone number and email address alongside the threats.
The electronic signature read: "Mr. I'm going to f***ing kill your child Kovco."
That's not a threat.

That's a confession with a return address.
According to the DOJ's federal complaint, Kovco described staking out the White House lawn with a "heavy caliber anti-material rifle" – the kind of weapon built to destroy military vehicles and pierce armor – permanently aimed from a nearby vantage point.
He even asked the CIA to clear his shot.
"Please make a clear line of fire from the White House to Marine One on the president's next departure from the garden," he allegedly wrote in a message sent directly to the CIA's public website in August 2025.
That's operational planning language.
It's also seven months of sustained intent.
The Threats Against Barron Trump Were in a Category of Their Own
Read this slowly.
"I'm going to take a serrated knife and saw Barron Trump's head off after I successfully stake out the president of the United States with a high caliber sniper rifle permanently aimed at the White House Lawn from a local vantage point."
That's what Kovco allegedly wrote on the White House's official contact form.
He then described tracking Barron's movements through New York or Washington, finding his routes, and running at him with a serrated bread knife.

He also told the White House he was assembling improvised explosive devices in his Chicago apartment and planned to place them "in several key places around Washington DC."
He Threatened to Hunt the Secret Service Agent Who Came to His Door
When Secret Service agents showed up at Kovco's Chicago apartment on March 19 to ask about the threats, he didn't answer the door.
They left a business card and walked away.
Within two hours, Kovco was back on the White House website.
"I'm gonna hunt the secret service agent that comes to my door's family so he better not tell me any identifying information at all like first or last name or pet name or address or place of work because I'm going to buy a small concealable firearm and go shoot up his place of work immediately," he allegedly wrote.
Then he posted four more threats.
When agents returned to the apartment later that day and Kovco finally came into the hallway, body-worn camera footage caught what happened next.
He told the agent it wasn't him.
Then, less than a minute later: "Ok, I posted four more. I'm gonna get money from your a**. Go check it out."
Then he went back inside and closed the door.
A family member who spoke with investigators said Kovco hadn't been taking his medication, had no job, and almost never left the apartment.
He was arrested April 3 and charged with transmitting threats in interstate commerce – up to five years in federal prison.
This Is What the Left Built
Seven months ago, a 22-year-old named Tyler Robinson shot Charlie Kirk in the neck with a sniper rifle at Utah Valley University.
Kirk died on that stage.
After the murder, social media lit up with users posting "do Trump next."
The left-wing media spent a week analyzing whether Kirk had somehow brought it on himself.
No one who spent years calling Kirk a fascist, a white nationalist, and an existential threat to democracy accepted a single second of responsibility.
And now a man in Chicago is allegedly assembling IEDs, mapping the White House departure route for Marine One, and planning to behead Barron Trump.

He didn't invent this rage out of nowhere.
He absorbed it from a media and political ecosystem that spent four years telling anyone who would listen that Donald Trump is Hitler and the people around him deserve to die.
MSNBC didn't hand Kovco a rifle.
But they built the temperature in which men like him decide their threats feel righteous.
U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros put it plainly after the arrest: "Under my watch, political violence will be dealt with as the serious federal crime that it is."
That's the right call.
Now someone needs to ask the people who created that temperature the same question they refused to answer after Charlie Kirk was killed: how much blood is enough?
