I never really understood their obsession with lions. couldn’t they get something more applicable to the land they stole from the Palestinians… like a shekel sand mouse or something. -
If I had a nickel...
the nickel is HAMAS -
Paywall'd, can you copy/paste? I tried googling around and didn't find any other reporting to this effect

2 Veterans Tied to 'Nazi White Nationalist Efforts' Allegedly Stole Gear from Army Base, Beat Soldier with Hammer
Military.com | By Drew F. Lawrence and Steve Beynon
Published June 04, 2025 at 6:01pm ET
Federal prosecutors on Wednesday accused two military veterans of assaulting a soldier and stealing equipment from an Army special operations compound in Washington state, a brazen break-in that ended with a cache of weapons and Nazi paraphernalia discovered in one of their homes.
State and federal police arrested Charles Ethan Fields and Levi Austin Frakes after executing a warrant Monday for alleged assault, robbery and theft of government property, according to the complaint shared with Military.com by the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Western District of Washington.
Prosecutors say Fields and Frakes entered Joint Base Lewis-McChord on Sunday evening through the main gate and made their way to a facility used by Charlie Company, 75th Ranger Regiment. Dressed in Ranger fitness training attire and wearing masks, the pair allegedly stole military gear after bludgeoning a soldier with a hammer and fleeing the scene.
Before being attacked, the soldier, who was not identified in court documents, confronted the veterans, who were in the process of stealing tens of thousands of dollars worth of ballistic helmets, rifle plates and communications equipment.
As the soldier was questioning the pair, ordering them to remove their masks, one of them attacked him, striking him in the head and torso with a hammer. The soldier fought off the attacker, taking the hammer, but "surrendered" as the other assailant was brandishing a knife, according to court records.
The soldier was treated at the base hospital after a "large amount of blood loss," images in the complaint show.
The pair allegedly stole $14,000 worth of gear, but dropped much of it at the scene when fleeing. Law enforcement discovered blood on their rucksacks and boots, according to the complaint.
The Army Criminal Investigation Division requested a search warrant after discovering the rucksacks filled with the equipment that they left behind, as well as the hat that bore Fields' last name. During the search of one of the homes, the CID seized 35 weapons, including rifles, pistols, short-barreled rifles, an MG32 machine gun and suppressors -- some of which appeared to have been produced using a 3D printer -- along with night vision equipment, body armor, flashbang grenades, smoke canisters and blasting caps.
Images from the complaint also show Nazi and white supremacist paraphernalia in one of the residences, including flags with a swastika and "SS" lightning bolts, murals and literature "in every bedroom and near several stockpiles of weapons and military equipment."
Investigators said that one of the veterans admitted in an interview to stealing military property from the Ranger compound for "about two years" to later sell or trade.
Fields and Frakes registered a company in Washington billed as a "defense manufacturing and training" service that featured imagery associated with Nazi ideology in its logo, according to the website and public business records. The company did not return a request for comment.
In social media, they listed several military units as "clients," including the 75th Ranger Regiment, U.S. Army Special Forces, 1st Marine Division and the Coast Guard. Military.com contacted the units on Wednesday. A spokesperson for the Ranger Regiment acknowledged the inquiry, but referred the publication to Army Special Operations Command.
Charles Ethan Fields and Levi Austin Frakes, two veterans, were arrested and accused of assault, robbery and theft of government property.
A spokesperson for the Coast Guard said that it "has never contracted with or been a client of" their company. The other units did not respond by deadline.
Fields served a short stint as an infantryman in the active-duty Army from 2017 to 2021, deploying twice to Afghanistan and leaving the service with the rank of sergeant, service records show. The complaint notes both suspects previously served in the military, citing Pentagon records, and that the soldier who tried to confront them learned Fields had been assigned to the Ranger battalion he tried to steal from sometime around 2021.
Military.com contacted the Marine Corps regarding Frakes' service, as a social media page shows that he served in the branch for four years. A spokesperson could not provide his service record, but noted that "there is a Marine veteran with that name."
The two men were booked into Thurston County Jail, and a judge set bail for each at $500,000 on Tuesday during a preliminary appearance, according to the complaint. Military.com contacted the county public defense office that has taken on their cases, according to its director, Patrick O'Connor, but their attorneys had not been assigned as of Wednesday pending charges.
The Thurston County Sheriff's Office did not respond to the publication on Wednesday, but the elected sheriff, Derek Sanders, said on social media that an FBI SWAT team executed the warrant.
"The suspects identified in this case were actively involved in Nazi white nationalist efforts," he said. The county lists both veterans as being charged with unlawful possession of a short-barreled rifle and explosives.
The military has faced persistent challenges in securing its weapons and equipment, including a notable incident in November when 31 M17 pistols went missing from Fort Benning, Georgia; only three have been recovered. A 2021 investigation by The Associated Press revealed that at least 1,900 firearms disappeared from military stockpiles during the 2010s, with some later turning up at crime scenes. The losses have been blamed on a range of security lapses, including gaps in surveillance and poor recordkeeping.
Of the attack on the soldiers, Luke Baumgartner, a research fellow with George Washington University's Program on Extremism, said that "they were not afraid to use violence in order to gain access to the equipment that they were looking for."
"Veterans who end up becoming involved in these extremist movements often look backward toward their military service as a source of inspiration," he said, citing cases such as Timothy McVeigh, an Army veteran who killed 168 people in the Oklahoma City bombing and also stole military equipment from a National Guard armory.
"They're just following in their footsteps; they're continuing this pattern that we've seen before," he said.
The complaint said that the pair were scanned into the main gate of JBLM around 8 p.m. Sunday and that they had allegedly used bolt cutters to break a lock into the Ranger compound. Investigators tied Frakes' vehicle to one seen on surveillance cameras on base. It was unclear how they had apparently easy access to the gate and how the unit accounted for its equipment if thefts had been occurring for two years.
"That tells me that there is a lack of proper accountability for sensitive items and military property going on within that unit," Baumgartner, an Army veteran, added.
The Pentagon has entirely abandoned addressing far-right extremism in the military community under the Trump administration. While there is no evidence service members or veterans are more likely to be radicalized, experts have said they are force multipliers to extremist organizations given their inherent credibility and tactical knowledge.

https://apnews.com/article/plane-crash-san-diego-a4b2317b8ad16689cc61ed1144b27bd5
Music agent owned the plane and had a pilots license...A private plane clipped power lines before crashing into a home early Thursday in San Diego, killing the co-founder of a music talent agency and two of its employees and igniting cars in a neighborhood of U.S. Navy-owned housing.
The Sound Talent Group said co-founder Dave Shapiro died in the crash. He is listed as the plane’s owner and has a pilot’s license, the Federal Aviation Administration said. The talent agency did not provide the names of the other employees.
At least 100 residents were moved to a nearby elementary school serving as an evacuation center, the San Diego Police Department said.
The plane was headed from New Jersey to San Diego after a fueling stop in Kansas. It crashed about 2 miles (3 kilometers) from San Diego’s Montgomery-Gibbs Executive airport.
The Sound Talent Group, co-founded by Shapiro, has represented artists including American pop band Hanson, American singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton, and Canadian rock group Sum 41. Hanson is perhaps best known for its earworm 1990s pop hit, “MMMBop.”
Shapiro also owns Velocity Records, the label for American rock bands such as rosecoloredworld and Concrete Castles and the Japanese heavy metal band, Nemophila.
Shapiro also owned a flight school, Velocity Aviation.
The powerlines were Hamas - Ben Shapiro-

I voted for Trump
And it cost me immensely.
16 years ago, I met a boy. We were in high school. He became my first love, my first boyfriend and the father of my first child.
He was many things but at the top of the list was a superb father. That man would go to the ends of the earth to look for the last pencil if that’s what I told him our daughter needed.
He wasn’t JUST the father of my child. He became my bestest friend. He was my family.
His biggest fault?
He wasn’t legal.
Despite being here before he could even walk……..
Despite not having any criminal record……
Despite making multiple trips to DC (as an adult) to acquire the paperwork to be here the “right way”; papers his mother should have taken the responsibility to get for him when he was just a child…….
Despite hiring immigration lawyers……
The father of my oldest child is being extradited.
My oldest child is loosing her father because of Trumps immigration policies.
Do I feel like I made a mistake? Possibly. Ask me again when I’m not so emotional.
What I do know is it has cost me (and my oldest daughter) GREATLY. I’m in a very dark place right now, reeling from this.
I didn’t post this for sympathy. But yall need to know it’s not just “bad” people with a criminal record being deported. These people are fathers……providers. Head of the household. The enemy wins by destroying the family unit with this policy.
And this is where it’s going to get controversial…..
The past few days as I’ve pleaded, begged, absolutely bawled my eyes out to the Lord to reveal to me the benefit in this, He told me one thing.
“My Hand isn’t in this daughter. When the Heavenlies are at war, there are going to be casualties. This is that.”
And here is where imma give y’all something to argue about.
I don’t believe this immigration policy is in the Will of the Lord. I don’t believe in my heart that this is something Jesus would celebrate were He here.
Now you may wanna say “He is the exception and not the norm Sara.”
But he was everything to me and my daughter. And even though him and I together have overcome generational and family traumas so our child didn’t have to walk through them, the enemy has still won here. That’s not something I’m ever going to celebrate. EVER.
So if you want to come post a comment about how the policies are necessary or “Biblical,” don’t do it on my wall. Seriously…..DONT.
And if you’ve made it this far, please pray for us because my daughter and I are beside ourselves with grief. It’s hard to go through the days
…possibly made a mistake

You guys are having trouble imagining any different scenario than what you have in your head. In your scenario of events Metcalf told him to leave and then Anthony told him to touch him and see what happens. Then Metcalf "touches" him and Anthony just wildly stabs him with a knife. However, what if Anthony goes over to the tent to hang out with his friend, whoever EP is in the police report. The Metcalf boys return from the other tent that the dude on youtube said they were in to find this dude in their tent. Metcalf confronts the kid, barking orders at him. They go back and forth, and Metcalf slaps his phone out of his hands. Kids pull out their phones. Metcalf is shoving him or hitting him, all while Anthony is issuing warnings. I am sure Metcalf is saying a few things too, like making threats of his own right? Metcalf might have a couple teammates standing up behind him and then snatches this kid up one final time and Anthony stabs him.
Again, this isn't about digging in. This is what generally happens between teenage boys. All of us here were teenage boys and are pretty familiar with how things escalate in these situations. Regardless of how this case turns out from a legal standpoint, there is no way this was a quick 30 second ordeal and drew the eyes of 30 witnesses and their phones. A bunch of shit happened between the initial "get out" and the stabbing.
This is what I think the video will show us and if this is what it does, not guilty IMO. A 6’0+ 200+ lb soon to be college football athlete physically towering over a 5’9 130 lb kid and physically pushing him around? The optics of that aren’t going to in any way shape or form support this argument that Anthony was the aggressor. Austin was literally walking back from talking with his friend at another tent. So Austin can do be at other tents but Anthony can’t? Especially during a stoppage during a HS track meet?
Knife on school property? Give me a break, I bet you no less than 15% of boys in an average TX HS have some type of Swiss Army knife on them. Also, while I do think Austin’s father has been a pretty standup guy through this whole thing - I do find it incredibly interesting his criminal history hasn’t been even brought up just yet.
Again, unfortunate Austin is no longer with us but we’ll have video soon enough.-

fantastic fucking movie. from beginning to the two post credit scenes - nonstop suspense.
sucks no tits but there was this one scene where Hailee did something that most people (not me) would consider to be disgusting, dirty, unladylike, kinky, and uncouth (again, not me).
also, and unrelated to above, I’m pretty sure Coogler loves eating pussy.
I will say though, if you don’t have a good amount of experience speaking with old southern black men or can’t recite any notorious BIG lyrics from memory - might want to wait until you can watch it with subtitles cause this shit is unapologetically black. absolutely zero-code switching. even the Asian couple had that shit down flat. had me thinkin I was back home with grandad and a bunch of my old uncles.
nah, we cuuhhhzinss.-

Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada go Trump. Sorry folks, I’ve been on this ride before and for whatever reason we seem to never learn our lesson - WW will break 55%+ Trump and Latinos won’t be far behind. Hope I’m wrong though.
did not think I’d have to add Wisconsin to this. Fuck.-
