Of course it’s Spirit. I know they have to do it out of an abundance of caution, but it’s a shame that they had to cancel the flight. That threat didn’t sound credible from the outset.

A Michigan man has been arrested after missing his flight to Los Angeles and calling in a fake bomb threat after being made to book another flight, officials said.

 

The incident took place last Thursday at approximately 6:25 a.m. at Detroit Metropolitan Airport when an individual, later identified as 23-year-old John Charles Robinson of Monore, Michigan, “used a cell phone to call into Spirit Airlines and conveyed false information about a bomb threat to Flight 2145 departing from Detroit Metro bound for Los Angeles,” according to a statement from United States Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon, Jr. from the Eastern District of Michigan United States Attorney’s Office.

“During the call, Robinson stated in part, ‘I was calling about 2145… because I have information about that flight,’ and ‘there’s gonna be someone who’s gonna try to blow up the airport,’ and ‘there’s gonna be someone that’s gonna try to blow up that flight, 2145,’” according to the affidavit. “After giving a description of an individual, he then stated: ‘they’re going to be carrying a bomb through the TSA,’ and ‘they’re still threatening to do it, they’re still attempted to do it, they said it’s not going to be able to be detected. Please don’t let that flight board.’”

 

The flight was immediately canceled, officials said and the flight’s passengers and crew were deplaned for safety precautions.

Well, that’s quite a turn of events.

Threatening letters about President Donald Trump that led to the highly-touted arrest by federal authorities of an undocumented immigrant last month were actually written by a jailed Wisconsin man trying to get him deported, prosecutors said in a new criminal complaint.

 

Demetric DeShawn Scott, the inmate, hoped to get Mexican immigrant Ramon Morales-Reyes deported because he is a witness in Scott’s upcoming criminal trial for alleged armed robbery and battery against Morales-Reyes, a criminal complaint filed Monday says.

“I got a plan. I got a hell of a plan,” Scott, 52, said in a recorded call from jail on April 27, according to the criminal complaint.

 

And in a May 16 recorded call, Scott, referring to Morales-Reyes, said, “This dude is a goddamn illegal immigrant and they just need to pick his ass up.”

 

“I’m dead serious cause I got Jury Trial on July 15th,” the complaint said. “And the judge will agree cause if he gets picked up by ICE, there won’t be a Jury Trial so they will probably dismiss it that day. That’s my plan.”

 

Scott is now charged in Milwaukee Circuit Court with identity theft and felony intimidation of a witness, and bail jumping in connection with the alleged scam. CNBC has requested comment from his attorney

So the question is… do you still deport Morales-Reyes? I think you do. The fact that Scott exposed him does not change the fact that he is illegal. I’d expedite the trials against Scott, hold Morales-Reyes long enough to have him testify if they need it, and then deport him. I’m sure he’s a fine fellow, but we can’t tolerate illegal aliens any more – even the nice ones.

Look at that… a gun law (one that I support, BTW) working as intended. It’s also clear that this was a premeditated attack and murder. Throw. The. Book.

The suspect, 45-year-old Mohamed Soliman, told investigators “he researched on YouTube how to make Molotov Cocktails, purchased the ingredients to do so, and constructed them,” the federal court documents said.

 

Soliman took a concealed carry class to learn how to fire a gun, but “had to use Molotov cocktails [for the attack] after he was denied the purchase of a gun due to him not being a legal citizen,” state court documents said.

Good. It’s comical how hard Reuters tries to politicize this. As Americans, don’t we want answers to these questions? In neither case were any perpetrators brought to justice.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The FBI will launch new probes into the 2023 discovery of cocaine at the White House during President Joe Biden’s term and the 2022 leak of the Supreme Court’s draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, a top official announced on Monday.

 

Dan Bongino, a rightwing podcaster-turned-FBI deputy director, made the announcement on X, saying that he had requested weekly briefings on the cases’ progress.

 

Both incidents have been popular talking points on America’s right.

There are monsters amongst us.

The car bombing outside a California fertility clinic that killed one person and injured four others appears to have been driven by anti-natalist ideology, according to two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the incident.

 

The suspect, identified by authorities as Guy Edward Bartkus, is believed to have detonated the explosive in Saturday’s attack, which claimed his own life.

 

Investigators are focusing on social media posts made by the suspect, including a 30-minute audio recording, which they say support anti-natalist views. While the posts and the recording are still being verified, officials believe they reflect the ideology behind the bombing. Anti-natalism refers to the belief that no one should have children.

Chewy had had enough.

A woman has been arrested after a raccoon named Chewy was found holding a meth pipe in the driver’s seat of her car in what police are calling a “strange encounter on patrol” in Ohio.

 

The incident occurred on Monday at approximately 7:15 p.m. when Springfield Township police officer Austin Branham decided to conduct a traffic stop on South Arlington Road after identifying a vehicle whose registered owner had an active warrant and a suspended driver’s license, according to a statement from the Springfield Township Police Department released on Tuesday.

 

When Officer Branham approached the car, he found 55-year-old Victoria Vidal of Akron, Ohio, and was able to detain her without incident, authorities said.

 

“However, things took an unusual turn,” according to the police statement, “As Officer Branham returned to the vehicle, he observed a raccoon named “Chewy” sitting in the driver’s seat with a meth pipe in its mouth. Chewy had somehow gotten hold of a glass methamphetamine pipe, leading officers to further inspect the vehicle.”

 

Police did confirm that Chewy was a pet raccoon and that he was not a wild animal after Vidal had the appropriate paperwork and documentation to own him.

So much hate.

A member of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s administration has been repeatedly caught on camera allegedly vandalizing parked Tesla vehicles with his keys while out walking his dog.

 

Dylan Bryan Adams, 33, a fiscal policy analyst for the State of Minnesota, was captured on vehicle surveillance footage allegedly dragging a key across the exteriors of several Teslas, stripping paint and causing thousands of dollars in damage.

 

Authorities reportedly arrested Adams on suspicion of causing an estimated $20,000 in damage, with formal charges still pending, according to the Minnesota-based crime watch account @CrimeWatchMpls on X.
