The "perp" was backing his car out of a Sheetz parking space when the wild negress wandered into his path, nearly causing him to back into her. She immediately pounded her fist on his car and started yelling at him. He produced a weapon and showed it to her, but that only made her more crazed. Fearing for his safety, he drove off. The "victim" called police and he was arrested for "felony ethnic intimidation, as well as misdemeanors for terroristic threats and possession of an instrument of crime"

WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. —
A Seminole County man says a judge found him not guilty at trial after video recorded by a camera on his Tesla was shown in court.

More than two years later, the arresting officer no longer works for the Winter Springs Police Department.

Kevin Finley feels vindicated now that the officer, who falsely accused him of fleeing and then detained him at gunpoint outside his garage in 2024, has left the force.

"I feel it's the first step, yeah, there's some accountability, finally,” Finley told WESH 2. “It's a little bit of relief. I feel like the community is a lot safer now."

Officer Erik Schwartz is heard on his body-camera video telling Finley to “turn around, get on your knees,” before he placed him in handcuffs for 33 minutes.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/10/22/hegseth-wanted-eisenhowers-globe-his-office-his-staff-broke-it/

It was early this year when Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wanted to move the world. A replica of it, anyway.

Two floor globes said to be used by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower during World War II are housed in the Pentagon, where subsequent generations of Army leaders became custodians of the artifacts, according to people familiar with their lineage and an accompanying plaque dating them to the 1930s.

The historical significance was attractive to Hegseth, these people said, and his staff requested that the secretary’s office become the new home to one of the 30-inch globes.

Ordinarily, moving historical items within the building is a deliberate process overseen by trained curators. Instead, Hegseth’s staff dispatched its own team to relocate an Eisenhower globe. They lost control of the artifact and dropped it, sending the globe crashing onto its base and impaling the fragile shell near Antarctica, according to those familiar with the incident. The resulting gash appears to be several inches wide.

Pentagon officials denied The Washington Post’s request for a photo of the globe or to examine the artifact in person, but The Post separately obtained images of the damage.

The jaw-dropping $25 billion penalty Meta was slapped with on Oct. 21 is raising questions about New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez’s crackdown on the company’s privacy and content-moderation practices. The massive fine could have a chilling effect on companies doing business in the state, as well as on free speech.

Torrez — who entered into politics with a 2016 run for district attorney backed by more than $100,000 in spending from a George Soros-funded super PAC — has faced criticism during his tenure for prosecuting just half the criminal cases referred by law enforcement. But he has taken a far more aggressive approach to tech companies than violent criminals according to local reports.

Meta’s chief legal officer, C.J. Mahoney said in a statement Wednesday, “This ruling, and the Attorney General’s approach to this enforcement, makes it all but impossible to do business in the state of New Mexico. At its core, this lawsuit seeks to impose a tax on speech to enforce new rules for what people can say online. We are confident we will prevail on appeal.”

The violations carried penalties of up to $5,000 per violation, resulting in a calculation of more than $219 billion before the judge reduced the penalty to $25 billion. The staggering judgment would be a huge windfall for the state — given New Mexico’s $11 billion annual budget is less than half that.

“For too long, powerful technology companies have operated as though their size and influence put them beyond the reach of the law,” Torrez said in a statement following news of the judgment.

But the state’s arguments during the two-week trial raised questions about whether its aims went beyond consumer protection — and whether Torrez targeted Meta in part because it rolled back aggressive fact-checking measures.

Trump ordered to answer questions under oath in BBC lawsuit

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmy0ryjx7741o

A US judge has ordered President Donald Trump to answer questions under oath in his defamation lawsuit against the BBC by 11 December.

Trump is suing the BBC over an episode of Panorama that edited together two different sections of a speech he gave before the riot at the US Capitol in 2021.

Charles Tobin, a lawyer representing the BBC, said in court that "we still haven't been able to depose the plaintiff" with two months left in the discovery period.

Trump cancelled a previous deposition on 16 October, citing "matters of national importance" while he was campaigning in Georgia.

In US law, a deposition is an out-of-court statement made under oath in response to questions, which is recorded for use in later proceedings.

The judge in the case, US Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett, said that Trump must sit for the deposition by 11 December, unless the discovery period is extended.

A 27-year-old miscreant who was in the US illegally allegedly beheaded one of the soldiers on the Iwo Jima statue at the Marine Corps Base Quantico with a sledgehammer — causing an estimated hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.

Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano, 27, was caught by cops hacking at the replica of the famous World War II US Marine flag-raising at the Virginia base at around 10:15 p.m. Wednesday night, Fox 5 DC reported, citing police.

The vandal decapitated one of the six servicemen depicted in the monument and caused additional damage.

Cops said the vandalism caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.

“This criminal illegal alien’s dream is over: Maldonado Soriano disrespected our brave service members and defaced a beautiful monument that honored their sacrifice,” White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in a statement to The Post.

“President Trump has secured our border and is deporting illegal criminals who hate our country and our values. The socialist Democrats want to go back to open borders and flood our communities with dangerous criminal illegal aliens.”

Maldonado Soriano was slapped with felony destruction of property, trespassing with intent to damage property, and felony injury to a monument charges, the outlet reported.

Since high school students began protesting in France in September, they’ve been joined by young demonstrators in at least seven other European countries.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/world/europe/europe-protests-youth-future.html

Young Spaniards and Portuguese have pitched tents in their countries’ capitals to protest high rents. French and Italian students have marched en masse for better school conditions in demonstrations marred by looters.

Greeks protested for more university funding and young Albanians clashed with the police after joining broad anti-corruption demonstrations against a government they accused of impeding their prospects.

These are among the young Europeans who have taken to the streets in recent days in at least eight countries across the continent. Their demands vary according to the context and the government, but a common thread unites them all: They fear for their future.

“The no-future generation is back,” Sacha Cossi, 27, a concert stagehand, said on Tuesday as he sat with a group of other young Spaniards under a low tarp in the tent encampment in central Madrid.

Mr. Cossi said the tent city, there for weeks, reflected a continent-wide exasperation over low salaries and high rents, an impotence in the face of global warming and a general anxiety about job prospects and the potential disappearance of the generous welfare benefits enjoyed by previous generations.

“We are tired of everything,” he said, adding: “Things keep changing in a way that doesn’t benefit us.”

Billionaire technology investor Peter Thiel said he’s skeptical of the U.S. war with Iran and does not believe the United States should have launched it, putting the major Republican donor at odds with President Donald Trump over one of the administration’s defining foreign policy decisions.

Thiel’s remarks, delivered on Oct. 12 at a private event, are his most explicit statements to be revealed publicly about the war with Iran and come less than two weeks before the midterm elections in which Trump’s party is grasping to maintain power in Congress. The audio of Thiel’s comments was obtained by Decoded by POLITICO from a lecture earlier this month.

“I’m skeptical of [the war], I think we should not have done it,” Thiel said. “There were a lot of mistakes that were made.”

Thiel added, “Maybe we don’t have the hard power. Maybe we’re going to lose the soft power war.”

In the full lecture, Thiel made clear his strong opposition to neoconservatives and Middle East wars. Despite his criticism of the Iran war, Thiel highlighted his continued support of Trump and suggested he wanted to protect the president.

Still, Thiel’s break over the war represents one of the most important examples to date of a fierce Trump ally sharing deep concerns about the conflict.

Turns out Trump isn't the only traitor who is putin's cockholster and gives a textbook reason why all musk's businesses need to be seized and nationalized on national security grounds.

https://www.wsj.com/world/ukraine-starlink-elon-musk-trump-dbc49193

WASHINGTON—Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration, U.S. officials and people familiar with the matter said.
Both Musk and President Trump have expressed anger at Ukraine for attacking Russian diesel refineries in recent weeks, which the president blames for high energy prices. Last week, Musk capped the speeds at which Ukrainian hardware could stay connected to the satellite-based network, the people said, rendering some offensive drones and interceptor drones virtually useless.

Musk and Trump discussed the Starlink decision in a call soon after the slowdown became public, while the president was campaigning last week, two of the people said. One of the people also claimed Musk and Trump discussed the matter prior to the decision to throttle Starlink.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s public complaints—namely that Ukrainians could die if the unrestricted service wasn’t restored—led to widespread confusion about who ordered the slowdown, and to an informal investigation inside the White House.

During the uproar, SpaceX representatives called White House counterparts seeking a unified understanding and subsequent message that the company and Trump administration coordinated ahead of Musk’s directive, the people said.

Musk himself posted on Twiiter hours after the slowdown became public, “Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS,” using the acronym for president of the United States. Trump told reporters Monday that he didn’t know who was responsible for the Starlink slowdown, “but I would like to find out.”
