[People] A California man has been arrested after allegedly live-streaming himself on social media holding a gun and showing two women lying motionless on the floor.
Raymond Michael Weber, 29, faces two counts of murder and is currently being held at the Solano County Jail, according to police.
Raymond is the older brother of local Sacramento rapper Marcus Weber, who goes by the stage name Uzzy Marcus, CBS News local affiliate CBS13 reports.
Police responded to a Vacaville, Ca., military housing complex around 12:42 a.m. on Sunday, after receiving reports from a neighbor that Raymond was inside the apartment live-streaming himself on social media holding a gun, according to the Vacaville Police Department.
The video also showed a woman and a teenage girl lying on the floor, not moving, the neighbor allegedly told police.
When officers arrived, Raymond — who was already wanted for an outstanding warrant for various felonies, including domestic battery and assault with a deadly weapon — had barricaded himself inside the apartment, authorities said.
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Two FBI agents were killed and three wounded in a shooting that erupted on Tuesday when they arrived to search an apartment in a child pornography case, a confrontation that marked one of the bloodiest days in FBI history. The suspect is believed to have killed himself.
The violence forced residents in the Fort Lauderdale suburb of Sunrise to huddle inside their homes as a SWAT team stormed the apartment building and police helicopters circled overhead.
FBI Director Christopher A. Wray identified the two slain agents as Daniel Alfin and Laura Schwartzenberger, both of whom specialized in investigating crimes against children.
Two of the wounded agents were taken to hospitals to be treated and were in stable condition, said Miami FBI Agent Michael D. Leverock. The third did not require hospitalization, Wray said.
Based on a preliminary investigation, federal officials believe the suspect fatally shot himself, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the matter. The person cautioned that an official cause of death has not yet been determined and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly.
The shooting happened around 6 a.m. in a middle-class neighborhood of single family homes, duplexes and apartment buildings located west of Fort Lauderdale, near the Everglades.
Despite the FBI's obsessive culture of "the Bureau is a family," It would be interesting to know how many agents started their day Tuesday mindful of the '86 shootout anniversary. You'd never get an honest answer now, but I'm going to bet many newer agents were oblivious to it even though it was drilled into their heads at the academy.

When you have bad guys willing to die rather than be arrested or served, all bets are off when it comes to safety. The Sunrise event was totally unexpected and the '86 a bit less so.

My take.
If the FBI had leadership that were focused on their jobs instead of being politically partisan 6 agents would not have been shot. So many things wrong with that 6am knock!
#1
Hopefully they got good data. It looks like one of the engines might have detonated instead of ignited. SN9 seems to have been somewhat snake-bit, falling over in the assembly tower, blowing 2 engines during static fire, failing a couple of attempts at static fire prior to that, then all the FAA deleays... I'd have been surprised (pleasantly) if it had worked!
They have another one (#10) ready to launch within a week or two I think, sitting on the launch pad next door.
Plus, isn't this already a somewhat obsolete design? I read they discarded this design.
They still have 10 that's already on the pad, and 11 that's already stacking, so they have sunk cost there. They scrapped #12, 13 and 14, so the next build for launch will be #15.
#2
FYI, here is a better video. (its shorter than the multi-hour broadcast in the article above - only 15 minutes but includes the whole launch and some good detailed video)

On the SpaceX coverage, you can see what might be an engine detonation instead of ignition at around T+6:19 or so, about 3-4 seconds before impact. Some pretty amazing HD camera footage from directly underneath it as it descends!
[Army.mil] It was Feb. 3, 1943, and the U.S. Army Transport Dorchester was one of three ships in a convoy, moving across the Atlantic from Newfoundland to an American base in Greenland. A converted luxury liner, the Dorchester was crowded to capacity, carrying 902 servicemen, merchant seamen and civilian workers.
It was only 150 miles from its destination when shortly after midnight, an officer aboard the German submarine U2 spotted it. After identifying and targeting the ship, he gave orders to fire. The hit was decisive, striking the ship, far below the water line. The initial blast killed scores of men and seriously wounded many more.
Others, stunned by the explosion were groping in the darkness. Panic and chaos quickly set in! Men were screaming, others crying or franticly trying to get lifeboats off the ship.
Through the pandemonium, four men spread out among the Soldiers, calming the frightened, tending the wounded and guiding the disoriented toward safety. They were four Army chaplains,
Lt. George Fox, a Methodist;
Lt. Alexander Goode, a Jewish Rabbi;
Lt. John Washington, a Roman Catholic Priest;
and Lt. Clark Poling, a Dutch Reformed minister.
Of the 902 men aboard the U.S.A.T. Dorchester, only 230 survived. Before boarding the Dorchester back in January, Chaplain Poling had asked his father to pray for him, "Not for my safe return, that wouldn't be fair. Just pray that I shall do my duty...never be a coward...and have the strength, courage and understanding of men. Just pray that I shall be adequate."
Although the Distinguished Service Cross and Purple Heart were later awarded posthumously, Congress wished to confer the Medal of Honor but was blocked by the stringent requirements which required heroism performed under fire. So a posthumous Special Medal for Heroism, The Four Chaplains' Medal, was authorized by Congress and awarded by the President on January 18, 1961.
It was never given before and will never be given again.

[Newsmax] Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday proposed a law that would combat big tech's "censorship" of right-wing political candidates and blasted the "monopoly of communications platforms" that "monitor and control" Floridians.
The legislation will target Facebook, Twitter, Google, Amazon, and Apple, according to Florida House Speaker Chris Sprowls.
The bill, if passed, would prevent platforms from rapidly changing standards, allow people to opt out of content algorithms, create a "cause of action" pathway for legal action and fine tech companies $100,000 daily for "deplatforming" political candidates. I'd be more impressed if it were more than just politicians who would be protected from deplatforming
Start with politicians, then expand the definition to include anyone talking about politics, etc.
#1
A business license, taxes and fees for every byte in and out of Florida will go a long way to to make them take into account the interests of Floridians.
#3
The dems will soon identify DeSantis as being in the same threat category as Noem with respect to their future plans. Much of the backstabbing you see other GOPe senators and governors doing right now is about positioning themselves as being "acceptable" frontmen for the faux opposition going forward.

KYIV , January 29, 2020 , 15:21 - REGNUMThe archival files of 53 members of the Ukrainian liberation movement, who resisted the establishment of Soviet power on the territory of present-day Ukraine, for which they were subjected to repression, were transferred to the Ukrainian National Commission for Rehabilitation by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). This was reported on January 29 by the SBU press service.
The press service said that the work of searching and reviewing the cases of Ukrainians, who were repressed by the Soviet regime, has been going on in the SBU for more than 25 years.
“Due to the imperfection of the legislative framework, the cases of the participants in the Ukrainian revolution of 1917-1921 and the national underground in the first quarter of the last century remained classified for a long time. In 2018, there were positive legislative changes that significantly improved the procedure for reviewing these cases, ”the SBU said in a statement.
In addition, it is indicated that due to these changes in the legislation, at present anyone can apply for this kind of rehabilitation - the general public, activists, etc., and not just relatives.
In addition, the message emphasizes that these cases were transferred to the rehabilitation commission for the Day of Heroes of Krut, celebrated in Ukraine on January 29.
As reported by IA REGNUM , earlier the authorities of the Ukrainian city of Ivano-Frankivsk organized a solemn ceremony of farewell to the last member of the SS Galicia division in the city, Mikhail Mulik, who died on January 25 at the age of 99.
HISTORY OF THE ISSUE
The rehabilitation of fascist collaborators began in Ukraine immediately after independence. In 1995, the Lviv Regional Council recognized the UPA as a belligerent in World War II, and its veterans as fighters for the freedom and independence of Ukraine. Since 2005, the country annually celebrates the anniversary of the creation of the army on October 14. Attempts to rehabilitate nationalists in Ukraine intensified with the coming to power of Viktor Yushchenko. In 2007, one of the UPA leaders, Roman Shukhevych, was awarded the title "Hero of Ukraine", and later the president of the country, by his decree, recognized the members of the army as fighters for independence. Meanwhile, the issue of the attitude towards the OUN-UPA remains extremely controversial in the country, the largest percentage of supporters of their recognition as freedom fighters is noted in the western regions of the country, especially in the Lviv region.
[Stars and Stripes] In a much anticipated speech which marked the first time China's top diplomat, Yang Jiechi, addressed an American audience under the new administration at the New York based National Committee on US-China Relations, the top Communist Party official warned the US it must stop interfering Beijing's "core interests" in Hong Kong, Xinjiang, and Tibet affairs or else it risks crossing China's "red line".
Ostensibly a gesture signaling China wants cooperation with the US under Biden, Yang as director of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission and member of the powerful 25-member Politburo, urged that Biden abandon Trump's "misguided policies against China" which has plunged the relationship into its "most difficult period since the establishment of diplomatic ties".
In the remote video address Yang laid out, "We believe that peace and development are still the prevailing trend of the times, and that peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation remain the shared aspiration of all peoples," according to Bloomberg.
Listing a number of flashpoints where already since his Jan.20 inauguration President Biden has eyed pressuring Beijing over human rights issues and anti-democracy crackdown, most notably Hong Kong and the Uighur persecution in northwest Xinjiang province (and of course Taiwan continues to loom large), Yang said forcefully:

They're just giving him his cue to begin to fret and fume for the masses. Not Kabuki, Chinese opera. Almost everyone, from the Russians to the islamics, have to do this for every president.
The 'huff-and-puff' hostility will spiral down in time to some kind of 'understanding' so regular business can be legitimized despite the hatred for China.

Seems odd. I would have thought they'd just pass Jo-Jo's orders to him under the table. I guess they also want to make sure everyone knows who's running the show.

Did this type of speech occur while the great Trump was in office?
When he was pushing decoupling, Ulomomp Hupimble9527, absolutely. And the bien pensants shrieked and fainted (well beyond pearl clutching, they were) at his uncouth ignorance that was going to end up beggering us as a country beyond any hope of repair. But he persisted, and other nations took notice that there are options beyond supine surrender. That was when the world started looking for non-Chinese solutions, about a year ahead of the Covid debacle — and in fact Covid might well have been China’s "Après moi, le déluge" response.
[DW] Millions of Hong Kong residents are eligible for a fast-track UK citizenship program. Two young emigrants colonists told DW that escaping the long arm of Beijing is worth the struggle of starting over in a foreign country.
On January 31, the United Kingdom kicked off an immigration program that will ease UK citizenship requirements for millions of Hong Kong citizens who want to leave the territory in the wake of continued pressure from Beijing on civil liberties.
The UK Home Office estimates there are 2.9 million British National Overseas (BNO) status holders eligible to move to the UK, with a further estimated 2.3 million eligible dependents. Under the new scheme, these people will be able to apply online for a visa. BNO arrivals from Hong Kong are allowed to live, work and study in the UK as long as they can financially support themselves.

[Breitbart] The company said Tuesday afternoon that Bezos "will transition to the role of Executive Chair in the third quarter of 2021 and Andy Jassy will become Chief Executive Officer at that time."
"Amazon is what it is because of invention. We do crazy things together and then make them normal," Bezos sound in the company’s announcement.
Bezos continued:
"If you do it right, a few years after a surprising invention, the new thing has become normal. People yawn. That yawn is the greatest compliment an inventor can receive. When you look at our financial results, what you’re actually seeing are the long-run cumulative results of invention. Right now I see Amazon at its most inventive ever, making it an optimal time for this transition."
Bezos founded Amazon in 1994 as an online bookseller. The company went public in 1997 at $18 a share with a market capitalization of $438 million. On the first day of trading, shares climbed as high as $30 and closed at $23.50. Last year, the company’s market cap passed $1 trillion for the first time and it is now worth $1.7 trillion. Ten thousand dollars invested in the company in 1997 would be worth around $16.8 million today.
Yes the proposed Amazon Second Headquarters does look like a manure emoji.
Да предлагаемого второй штаб-квартиры Amazon делает выглядеть навоза смайлики

"Invention" - sure. What exactly did this little shit "invent"? No software. No hardware that anyone ever wanted to buy. Even his cloud computing is just resuscitating the mainframe -- only now everyone pays a tax to the little walleyed freak in Seattle every time data's exchanged.
In reality, all this asshole did was to hide behind a decades-long tax holiday and then relentlessly use predatory pricing to manipulate markets and suffocate competitors.
Once upon a time, in pre-internet pre-oligarchic America, such predatory pricing and anti-competitive behaviors were illegal.
That Bezos got away with it is testament to the unbelievably corrupt state of America in the last 25 years. Most corrupt era since the Robber Barons.

Now the question is which ones will quietly funnel the questions to BIDEN ahead of time and thus get picked to ask the question and a 24+ hrs prepared answer?
[NYPost] Three Idaho National Guard pilots were killed in a helicopter crash late Tuesday, officials said.
The victims were flying in a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter when it went down during a routine training mission south of Lucky Peak near Boise at about 8 p.m., the Idaho National Guard said Wednesday.
Aviation officers said the last contact with the helicopter was roughly 15 minutes before the fatal crash. The cause of the accident is unknown and an investigation is underway, National Guard officials said.
[IsraelTimes] Side effects similar to those seen after most other vaccines, Health Ministry reports.
In the world’s most detailed data on how people feel after a Pfizer COVID vaccine, Israel has found that less than 0.3 percent had side effects they felt were significant enough to report to doctors.
After the first shot, 6,575 of 2,768,200 Israelis sought medical assistance for side effects, which is 0.24%. The figure after the second shot was 0.26% — 3,592 of 1,377,827 recipients.
The latter figure indicates that while the second shot is known to leave some people feeling under the weather, this rarely escalates to formal medical complaints.
The Health Ministry officials who released the research believe that it will provide peace of mind for many around the world who are eager to get a picture of the vaccine’s impact. They wrote that side effects are shown to be “similar in frequency and character to symptoms reported after other vaccines given to the population.”
They also stressed that side effects are normally “mild” and “soon pass.”
Few complaints ended in hospitalization — an average of 17 patients per million after the first shot, and three patients per million after the second shot. Yehezkeli said doctors expected a few patients to have significant side effects, and he has personally treated a patient who had partial facial nerve paralysis after her second shot, but said the statistics show that incidence is low. His patient recovered.
It was the first major real-world analysis of side effects, involving many times the numbers involved in Pfizer’s clinical trials. Its findings, which are accurate to January 27, match the expectations held by health organizations around the globe on the basis of trial data.
America’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted before the vaccine became available that it can cause side effects that are normally “mild to moderate,” while “a small number of people had severe side effects.”
The CDC expected the main side effects to be localized pain or broader symptoms like chills and headache, which “might feel like flu symptoms.” That was what the Israeli data found.
The vast majority of complaints were either localized pain in the arm, or people generally feeling unwell. Arm pain accounted for 50% of first shot complaints and 22% of second shot complaints. Some 41% of first shot complaints and 73% of second shot complainers reported feeling generally unwell.
There were also some more unusual side effects.
Neurological symptoms were reported by 287 first-dose vaccinees and 96 second-dose vaccinees. There were 165 reports of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, after the first shot and 47 after the second shot. Other unusual side effects were reported by 60 and 19 people after the first and second shots, respectively.
Israel’s statistics should be treated as reliable because the country’s health system involves “active surveillance” of side effects, said Yehezkeli. “They are important figures because many people in Israel have been vaccinated already and the healthcare system is very organized with methods of reporting side effects,” he commented.
“I’m a practicing physician and whenever I report a patient with, say, fever, who recently had a vaccination, the computer system generates an alert and asks me if I want to report it as a side effect. This is what I call active surveillance.”
The Republic of China Armed Forces, commonly known as the Taiwanese Armed Forces, demonstrated the nation’s long-range strike capacity during recent military exercises.
Last week, Taiwan’s Air Force has wrapped up a large-scale exercise involving test flights with an air-to-ground, subsonic cruise missile, called the Wan Chien.
Taiwanese state media said the drill held at the southern Tainan airbase, flight crew from the First Tactical Fighter Wing deployed the Wan Chien cruise missiles on an Indigenous Defense Fighter, also known as the F-CK-1 or Ching-Kuo.
The missile, developed by the military’s top research unit, the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST), is said to be able to hit Chinese airports and military units in coastal Fujian and Guangdong provinces if fired by Taiwanese fighter jets from around the median line of the strait.
[AnNahar] The military ouster of Aung San Suu Kyi's government in Myanmar was "inevitable," army chief General Min Aung Hlaing said Tuesday, as Washington formally designated the takeover as a coup.
Myanmar's powerful military stunned the nation Monday when it detained Suu Kyi and other National League for Democracy (NLD) party leaders in pre-dawn raids ahead of a scheduled resumption of parliament.
General Min Aung Hlaing was given "legislative, judicial and executive powers", effectively returning Myanmar to military rule after a 10-year experiment with democracy.

Mayhap we shall see a greater culling of the islamist Rogingyas? Only a military junta, untrammeled by useless democratic imperatives to uphold and humanist conventions to play to, can wipe them out. Or reduce them to manageable numbers.
[ToloNews] The United States threatened to reimpose sanctions on Myanmar’s generals after they seized power in a coup and detained elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi, whose whereabouts remained unknown on Tuesday more than 24 hours after her arrest.
The UN Security Council was due to meet later on Tuesday, diplomats said, amid calls for a strong global response to the military’s arrest of the Noble Peace laureate and dozens of her political allies on dawn raids on Monday.
The coup followed a landslide win for Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) party in November elections, a result the military has refused to accept citing allegations of fraud.

Erections have consequences.
[WashingtonExaminer] The Justice Department dropped a case against Yale University that accused the Ivy League school of discriminating against white and Asian applicants in its admissions process.
The Biden administration decision was announced in a filing in federal district court in Connecticut. "The United States accordingly notices voluntary dismissal of this action, without prejudice," said the filing submitted by Gregory Friel, the deputy assistant attorney general for DOJ’s Civil Rights Division — marking a significant reversal from just a few months ago under the Trump administration.
The Justice Department announced a lawsuit against Yale University for alleged discrimination on the basis of race and national origin in October, arguing that the discriminatory admissions practices imposed "undue and unlawful penalties on racially-disfavored applicants, including in particular most Asian and White applicants." Yale denied the allegations of discrimination.
The Trump Justice Department said a multi-year investigation "found Yale discriminates based on race and national origin in its undergraduate admissions process, and that race is the determinative factor in hundreds of admissions decisions each year." It specifically alleged that for the vast majority of applicants, potential Asian American and white students "have only one-eighth to one-fourth of the likelihood of admission as African American applicants with comparable academic credentials" and that "Yale rejects scores of Asian American and White applicants each year based on their race, whom it otherwise would admit."
The Biden Justice Department recently signed executive order declaring that "affirmatively advancing equity, civil rights, racial justice, and equal opportunity is the responsibility of the whole of our Government."
The Justice Department’s 32-page lawsuit in October argued that "for at least 50 years, Defendant Yale University has intentionally subjected applicants to Yale College to discrimination on the grounds of race and national origin" and "for the last few decades, Yale’s oversized, standardless, intentional use of race has subjected domestic, non-transfer applicants to Yale College to discrimination on the ground of race." DOJ investigators alleged that Yale’s practices violated Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
get a bunch of nice 1600 SAT score Asian kids who were rejected and sue for damages

...And if it happened to result that some of the second tier schools they all ended up at now have higher average SAT scores than Yale...
Something for the schools in question to advertise. Prestige is one thing, but when the Ivies becomes known as a garden of underachievers and lesser lights... nobody truly driven would take that tradeoff. Not even the favoured minorities, who are as ambitious as anyone else.
[NYPost] Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin cleaned house of appointees to the Pentagon’s policy advisory boards, dismissing eleventh-hour Trump administration nominees and those of previous White Houses, according to a report Tuesday.
Austin booted every member of the roughly dozen advisory boards on Monday, allowing him to avoid having to personally fire former President Donald Trump’s appointees, the Wall Street Journal reported. Skipping down to the exceptionally encouraging news:
Dismissed along with Bossie and Lewandowski were former Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Henry Kissinger.
While board members are not Pentagon employees, their coveted positions carry influence with Defense Department leadership, and members usually maintain valuable security clearances.
The two U.S. Defense Department officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Austin would be asking hundreds of members on the 42 different boards to leave by Feb. 16. The cost of running the boards could be in the millions of dollars, one of the officials said.
The move does not affect at least two well-known Trump aides: Sean Spicer, a former White House spokesman who was appointed to the Naval Academy Board of Visitors, and Kellyanne Conway, a senior Trump aide who was appointed to the Air Force Academy Board of Visitors.
The second official said the academy positions were outside the scope of Defense Department actions. Board members appointed by Congress also would not be affected, the officials said.

I worked with a guy who had a plaque on his desk that said "God so loved the world, He didn't send a committee." Government, in and out of the defense sphere, needs many fewer of these "24 arms and lege, 12 stomachs and no brains" agglomerations.
