FBI: Minnesota man revered mass shooters, showed interest in joining neo-Nazi groups
Another nutter? His photo at the link definitely demonstrates crazy eyes.
[IsraelTimes] Bureau says River William Smith was amassing arsenal of automatic weapons: gun store owner: We’d have banned him if we knew he was interested in neo-Nazi
...adherents of a philosophy that was seen even at the time as pure evil, which makes them either consciously and purely evil, or attention-seeking ratbags. Pick one, or both....
sm.

A Minnesota man who idolized the shooter who killed five people at a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs and was allegedly building an arsenal of automatic weapons to use against police was arrested this week after a retired police officer reported his behavior to authorities, according to federal charges.

#1 

A concern likely shared by others.

How do we know anything we are told coming out of an LSD ran State and/ or a DC Swamp agency is factual and not just a politically driven agenda issue for greater social controls and basic rights infringements ?

#2  I don't believe he was "amassing an arsenal of automatic weapons". They are extremely hard to get. Can't get one at a firearm store.

#3  Less than two years later, he was stockpiling firearms and enough ammunition to fire a fully automatic weapon, authorities said.

Uh huh. Somebody doesn't know shit about guns

#8  This story is repleat with a nut-job kid, the FBI and the SPLC. I tend to think the SPLC views anyone who is white as a white supremicist terrorist. The FBI has learned that they can affect their budgets by how they report their statistics. Otherwise, what others have said here. Hard to trust any info reported in the MSM or from DC.

#1  The girl is mentally defective.

A diesel nozzle will not fit in a unleaded car gas fill due to diesel nozzle being larger than an unleaded nozzle.

It as a poorly thought out prank and the girls mother should be ashamed of herself.

Stuff like this and a lack of respect is why people get divorced.

Father John Bok's trip to Mass at St. Andrews and the Feast of the Guardian Angel
[YouTube] Eighty-seven-year-old Father John Bok was on his way to Sunday Mass when an SUV flew over his car. The driver of the SUV is said to have experienced a seizure and lost control of the vehicle. However, Father John had no idea what happened until a police officer showed him the surveillance video after church. After analyzing the video, he says the driver hit the pole so perfectly that it sprung him up in the air like a pole vaulter.

‘Bad news ahead of the final': Mystery illness afflicts France players at World Cup
[France24] Several France players have caught colds, the French Football Federation said, as the team prepares for the World Cup final against Argentina, with defenders Raphaël Varane and Ibrahima Konaté the latest to fall ill on Friday. FRANCE 24’s special correspondents report from Qatar on this mystery illness.

Varane, Konaté and striker Kingsley Coman were all sidelined as Les Bleus were preparing to take on Lionel Messi's Argentina in Sunday's final.

The trio of absentees sparked further fears of a mystery virus in the French camp after two players — midfielder Adrien Rabiot and defender Dayot Upamecano — were ruled out of the semi-final win over Morocco.

Rabiot and Upamecano both returned to training on Friday. Manager Didier Deschamps refused to panic after Wednesday's win and said they were being careful to ensure the illness did not spread.

India Test-Fires Nuclear-Capable Ballistic Missile After Minor Border Clash With China
[ZH] See? The NORKs aren't the only ones flexing
India on Thursday carried out a test launch of a long-range nuclear-capable ballistic missile, Agni-5, which came days after a renewed clash between Indian and Chinese troops along the disputed Himalayan border.

Indian Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said the successful launch of Agni-5 from Abdul Kalam Island in eastern Odisha state marked a "historic milestone" for the country’s defense industry.

"The missile will add great value to the defense and strengthen national security to a greater extent as it can travel 5400+ plus kilometers," Joshi said on Twitter.

The Agni-5 uses a three-stage solid-fueled engine and is capable of striking targets at ranges up to 5,000 kilometers (around 3,100 miles) with "very high degree of accuracy," according to the Indian Ministry of Defense.

This was not the first time India test-fired a surface-to-surface Agni-5 ballistic missile. The ministry test-fired one on Oct. 27, 2021, which it said reaffirmed India’s policy to have "credible minimum deterrence" that underpins its commitment to "No First Use."

India’s "No First Use" policy stipulates that nuclear weapons will only be used in retaliation against a nuclear attack on Indian territory or Indian forces.
Renewed Clashes

The recent Agni-5 missile launch came on the heels of fresh tensions between India and the Chinese regime following clashes between their troops along the disputed Himalayan border on Dec. 9.

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said that Indian troops prevented Chinese soldiers from crossing the line of actual control (LAC) at the Tawang Sector in India’s northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh, a territory that China claims as its own.

"The Chinese attempt was contested by our troops in a firm and resolute manner," Singh told parliament.

The border clash resulted in minor injuries on both sides. Singh said that India’s commander met with his Chinese counterpart following the incident and demanded that Chinese troops "refrain from such actions."

This has occurred as a video of an earlier unreported violent brawl between Chinese and Indian troops believed to have taken place in September 2021 in Arunachal Pradesh went viral on social media this week.

#1  Nothing to do with the clash, it was scheduled last year. Routine testing of an in-development project. A lower weight variant of an 8000 km range missile that's all.
