[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] How much you want to bet the miscreant turns out to be mentally ill or on drugs, dear Reader?

Sai Varshith Kandula, 19, crashed into the White House barriers last night
He is now charged with threatening to kidnap or kill the president
Law enforcement sources told ABC he flew from St Louis, Missouri, to Dulles, then rented his U-Haul truck
The Daily Mail has photos of the miscreant and video, but Twitchy is copieable. Herewith, the miscreant and an interesting comment:

NBC News report just now: photo and name of the miscreant, it is expected he has mental health issues. He had neither bombs nor weapons, planned to enter the White House and take over ruling the country like Hitler.

So the perp had a large U Haul truck with nothing in it but a brand spankin' new Nazi flag and attempted to ram the barricades at what...15 MPH? Best confirmation yet on the state of our economy: Deep State reduced to Dollar General False Flag kits.

^ A bit prolix for SOTD, but it gets my vote for "Dollar General false flag."

The man accused of ramming a U-Haul truck into barriers near the White House earlier this week isn't a U.S. citizen or a lawful, permanent resident, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Sai Varshith Kandula, a 19-year-old from suburban St. Louis, wore an orange jail-issued jumpsuit in his brief courtroom appearance when prosecutors requested pre-trial detention.
The government also revealed that Kandula is not a citizen or lawful permanent resident — though his national origin wasn't mentioned in court.
A college student who was on the same high school track team with Kandula told NBC News on Tuesday that they're both members of the sizable Indian American community in Chesterfield, Mo.

Interest in him seems to be waning. Must be a watcher of The View.

There is either some very weird backstory or this is the worst false flag op in the history of ever.
Just checked the U-Haul website - 18 is the min age to rent, so that bit isn't strange but the business with the flag is curious. I'm sure we will know more in the near future, he said naively.
"Look, a lunatic literal Aryan
(as in dot), in that U-Haul, caught carryin'
A Maga-red flag
Which is thought to be swag
From a Nazi short-fingered vulgarian!"

This would-be nazi sound more like a dumb shot than anything else. Possibly, he was a dupe used by the left to lend credence to their favorite narrative of the dangerous white supemicists who are everywhere,

...upscale, retirement home of the Right Reverend Jeremiah Wright of Obama church fame. For some reason the white population has dropped to 81% while African-Americans have reached 6% ...
a town located in liberal-controlled Cook County and just outside the crime-ridden city of Chicago.
Videos posted on Twitter show "multiple fights that broke out after hundreds swarmed Saturday's event as part of a flash mob,"

Seems like 400 spontaneous customers would be a good think. The WNBA, Oakland A’s and CNN are probably jealous. Any good carnival will have a squeegee handy for the excess blood or some sawdust.

Not just Chiraq -it's spreading. Just in the last few months: my high school alma mater is now famous for a student being stabbed to death in a classroom while class was in session and my old Jr high just experienced a riot involving over 150 students that went nearly the entire school day. This is wine country schoolin' at it's finest. And as they say - if it can happen here...

Flash-Mob, what a quaint fig-leaf to use in describing this display of dystopian urban life by the feral products of generations of subsidized, inner-city black families.
[DetroitFreePress] Ford CEO Jim Farley announced Tuesday morning that the automaker is reversing its previous plan to remove AM radio from vehicles, both electric and gasoline-operated, in 2024.
Farley, in a post on his LinkedIn professional page and a tweet on Twitter, said:
"After speaking with policy leaders about the importance of AM broadcast radio as a part of the emergency alert system, we've decided to include it on all 2024 Ford & Lincoln vehicles. For any owners of Ford EVs without AM broadcast capability, we’ll offer a software update. Customers can currently listen to AM radio content in a variety of ways in our vehicles — including via streaming — and we will continue to innovate to deliver even better in-vehicle entertainment and emergency notification options in the future. Thanks to our product development and manufacturing teams for their quick response to make this change for our customers.”

...I don't think that this was some Fiendish Consipracy(TM) on the part of Ford as much as that somebody in the hierarchy was fixated on the savings from deleting AM capability in the radios, and decided that this was the hill they were dying on.

AM? Really? This is 2023. Way back in the 70s when the Japanese captured 30% of the auto market that stuff was old. The Japanese offered cars with good gas mileage, built right the first time, and most things came standard without the door long list of 'extras' tacked on the price. When asked why they didn't practice that old game of nickle and diming customers, their reply was that when you put them in every car, the unit price drops dramatically. The real story here is - Ford will still charge you extra for AM/FM. If they actually did drop the AM radio, it wouldn't take long for most to figure out to take your car to a car audio dealer and get a far better rig at or less in price.

No substitute for a good weather band radio when you are outside on an unsettled weather day. There are good weather alert apps for smartphones too, and you should have one.

The irony from back in the old ways when an AM radio was standard and you had to pay extra for the FM. Now they want to dump AM.
I'd be curious to know if Ford has a deal with Sirius or some other satellite radio outfit.

Getting ready to trace down an antenna fault in my Jeep's SiriusXM setup. I prefer RealJazz to anything else in the car.

They probably figured out people who wanted AM radio would just order their car without a radio and then go third party, which I'm sure the sales department had a sh*t fit about.

In the late 1970s I got a cool aftermarket car radio that had AM/FM and weatherband built in. Such a device is AFAICT no longer available unless you fabricate one yourself.
#16
At this point, I'd rather have a good bluetooth front end in the dash and just get all the content over the phone. I do understand that would not work for most people. And I'm just not going to put a new radio in my 15 year old car, so I have to pull stuff until I find the problem.
What fun.

Their claim was that "EV shielding to make the AM radio listenable" was prohibitive. I remain skeptical

Is Ford another one of those woke corporations?
#20
It's probably easier to determine which company is not woke.
Look at those banks that failed, especially Silicon
Valley. The only "experience" required was a acceptable level of wokeness.
Funny how many bank problems all fall under the jurisdiction of the San Fran Fed.
P.S. - I believe Treas. Sec. Janet Yellen was once the head of the San Fran fed. And look how fast SVB and its leftist venture capitalists got bailed out.

Actually, as of this moment it's happened precisely 7,654,321 times. Not counting, of course, the digital prayerwheels and other electronic repetitions. Eternity's too short for that. Have a nice day!

I won't read Daily Mail bullshit but there can't be anything worse than North Korea. I was thinking where I'd like to send my enemies if I could and that one can't be topped, in my opinion. It's hell on earth, like living with Yoko Ono.

To be fair, if we could isolate dem cities, they would have some of the highest murder rates in the world, along with some of the highest miserable indexes.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
