Gino Fiebelkorn has taken to sleeping during the day, when the crowd outside his apartment is mostly camera crews and reporters. But by evening, he starts prepping for another night "in a war zone." He tapes up the back door frame of his garden-level apartment on Humboldt Avenue in Brooklyn Center—an attempt to keep out clouds of tear gas that have filled his neighborhood since Sunday night. And then he stations himself at the apartment building's back door, prepared to pull in injured protesters and ward off troublemakers.(Snip) "My place smells like smoke and there are times when it's hard to breathe,"

The FBI is investigating far-left Antifa radicals linked to violent attacks around the country, FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress on Thursday.
Mr. Wray was asked his views on whether Antifa, a leftist radical group that has triggered violent attacks in several U.S. cities, is an organized group.
“We consider Antifa to be more of a movement,” Mr. Wray said during an appearance before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. “There are certainly local and regional nodes, individuals who self-identify with Antifa who commit violent attacks, citing that as their motivation. And we have a number of predicated investigations into such individuals.”

Two crooks want to become mayor of Spring Valley in Rockland County—but only one is eligible to run, a state judge ruled Wednesday. In an only-in-New York story, former Spring Valley Mayor Noramie Jasmin, who was ensnared in a federal corruption scandal tied to former state Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith, is running for her old job after serving four years in prison. Jasmin was found guilty in 2015 of mail fraud and extortion.
She got caught peddling her support for a local community center in exchange for $5,000 cash and 50-percent ownership in the development. But that’s only half the story.

A Black Lives Matter activist from Seattle has been arrested—for an alleged anti-Asian hate crime, according to reports. Christopher Hamner, 51, who is black, was charged with allegedly attacking three Asian-American women in two separate incidents last month, according to KIRO 7. In the first incident on March 16, Hamner allegedly shouted “Asian b—h!” at a Chinese-American mom, who was driving with her two children, before punching his fists together in a menacing motion and demanding that she get out of the car, according to the local news outlet.(Snip) “He jumps out the car and he’s charging at us,”

Paul Pelosi, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, is one heck of a trader!
He purchased about $10 million in Microsoft shares through call options on March 19th when the stock was trading at $230.35. Days later, Microsoft was awarded a contract by the U.S. Army valued at $22 billion and inked a deal to buy an artificial intelligence firm. It’s stock has soared about 12% since Mr. Pelosi’s initial investment.(Snip) But Mr. Pelosi’s good fortunes don’t stop there. Weeks before President Biden signed an executive order to replace the entire federal automobile fleet with electric cars, Mr. Pelosi bought up to $1 million in Tesla

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy is considering using federal funds to provide around $40 million in one-time stimulus payments to the state’s undocumented immigrants via executive action, according to five people familiar with the matter. Representatives from Murphy’s office suggested the figure during a conference call with immigration advocates on Tuesday.(Snip) The roughly $40 million figure—which would be funded through remaining federal CARES dollars—was a non-starter for advocates, who are seeking larger relief measures, such as $2,000 in direct stimulus payments to individuals and $600 in unemployment-like benefits. Sources said the 30-minute call grew “pretty heated” over the amount,

Green Level, N.C.—A popular Charlotte-area teacher was killed in an Alamance County shootout with a Mexican drug cartel last week, the Alamance County Sheriff's Office said during a news conference Wednesday. Barney Harris, a basketball coach at Union Academy in Monroe was well-loved and respected, but Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson said, on the side, Harris was involved in the "dangerous and deadly" drug world. "I can tell you right now, when we are dealing with the Mexican drug cartel, someone is going to die as a result of this," Johnson said.(Snip) Authorities said the duo broke into a trailer

Russian troops have painted their assault vehicles with 'invasion stripes' as Vladimir Putin masses more troops on the Ukrainian border and fears that he may try to invade. An onlooker in the Astrakhan region of Russia, 350 miles from the border filmed a column of armoured personnel carriers with a white cross painted across the top. In the Cold War, Russian forces painted the cross onto their vehicles when they were facing opponents who also used identical Soviet-made machinery in an attempt to avoid friendly fire.
While in the modern age, technology renders the rudimentary identification unnecessary the paint could be designed to intimidate

The BBC's diversity chief has claimed Idris Elba's TV detective Luther 'isn't black enough to be real' because 'he doesn't have any black friends and doesn't eat any Caribbean food'. Miranda Wayland said the hit crime drama, which won plaudits for having a strong, black lead character, was only superficially diverse and that corporation bosses are now looking to portray minority groups in a more convincing and rounded way.(Snip)
However, Ms Wayland told the MIPTV conference this week that to achieve true representation, TV chiefs must ensure black characters have an environment and culture built around them that is completely reflective of their background.

Anthony Weiner may want to start drinking his coffee at home. The disgraced politician’s pervy past caught up with him as he sipped java with an unidentified male at Bryant Park on Monday afternoon.(Snip) “I think it’s disgusting that he’s able to sit outside in public. He’s a registered sex offender and I wanted to remind him of that, and raise awareness,” Sharp told Page Six. This isn’t the first time that Weiner, who went to prison in 2017 after pleading guilty to sexting with a 15-year-old girl, had to face his new identity as a convicted, registered sex offender.

White supremacists, which do not exist as far as I can tell, pose an existential threat to the nation. And yet countless numbers of bLACK supremacists like JayQawn here commit acts of domestic terror day in and day out, but we're not allowed to notice.
