This one's an interesting little tidbit.
Basically the reporter's experience with two of them and the rest of the militia whilst covering protests, which was rather cordial and friendly. Mentions how they shut down one pro-militia sperg who was being rather vocal about 'doing it'.
And a choice line describing the impetus behind their counterprotests that I'm sure some of you would enjoy, too.

Genius dark triad move from Yelp - many businesses shrug off shitty reviews and wait for new ones to come in, thus not subscribing to Yelp's "reputation management" features. This label is a great new avenue to extort business owners into buying a product they never wanted in the first place by weaponising racism in the name of standing up against racism.
I simulatenously hate and admire this.

The one below is interesting too.
"Certain persons are to be processed immediately or be given $50K."
Weird.
Anyway, here's something fun. It isn't confirmed, but this guy claims to be a CIA leaker, and it's making the rounds.
Now, according to the video, the Obama administration made a deal with Iran to keep OBL off the stage, then Iran sent OBL to Pakistan where the Obama Administration killed him. In order to, something, I'm not sure what, save face I think, they outed SEAL Team Six and let the Taliban/Al Queda whack them. That gave Iran blackmail against the Obama Administration, which is why Obama gave them all that money.
When I looked into it, it's kind of spreading, but no confirmation.
The other thing that caught my eye, is some of those same sites are claiming that the Obama Administration gave Iran some Davey Crockett nuclear "mortars" (in their words, they aren't mortars, they're crew served rockets, tripod mounted) of the M338 or M388 style (depends on which site you read), giving them six in all.
Here's why I doubt it: Those things are pretty closely kept track of. They aren't "mortars", and they old style was predicated decades ago and run under an XM, W, or XW header now depending on which Generation you're looking at.
Finally, these sites really make me raise my eyebrow, because they claim that one was used in Syria and 'killed 20 Russians".
Let me tell you, if someone cracked off a Crockett, EVERYONE would have known. Those aren't some fucking 0.25 kt weapons. Those are designed to break up tank rushes by China or the old USSR, they run in the 45-350 kt range, which is a FUCKLOAD more than what we ended WW2 with. EVERYONE On the fucking planet would have known and flipped their shit.
So, take the video with a LARGE grain of salt.
But if it's true: You're looking at Treason, boyos.

Man Opens Fire at KFC After Being Given Wrong Fast Food Order, Police Say
Police are hunting a man who allegedly fired shots into a KFC drive-thru in Tennessee after being given the wrong order.Detectives said a man in a grey freightliner semi-truck pulled up at the fast food outlet at 6262 Winchester, in Memphis, and placed an order at the drive-thru window on Saturday.
They said he initially drove off after received the order but later returned to the window demanding a refund, saying he had been given the wrong food.
The cashier handed over the money and the man then pulled away before firing gunshots into the building, police said.
Although no-one was injured during the incident, police said the bullets shattered glass and damaged several walls.
Now Memphis Police Department has issued video stills of the man on its Facebook page in a bid to identity him.
He is described as Black, approximately 6 feet tall, and was last seen wearing a blue shirt, black pants and yellow tennis shoes.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 528-CASH.
The shooting is the latest in a series of violent incidents that have taken place at fast food outlets during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Florida man arrested after horse found butchered for meat
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA)—A man was arrested in St. Petersburg, Florida this week on suspicion of stealing and killing a horse that was found butchered last year in Palmetto, according to the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said the horse was found dead in a field after it was stolen from a stable on Dec. 1, 2019, and that it had been slaughtered for its meat.
Authorities said they obtained surveillance video placing the suspect, Eladio Garcia-Gasca, at the scene of the crime. The video allegedly shows him walking up to the stables shortly before the animal was stolen.
Garcia-Gasca, 40, was arrested at his home and booked into the Pinellas County Jail. He is charged with grand theft and animal cruelty.

‘The City Will Be On Fire’: New Yorkers Reportedly Prepare To Flee Homes To Avoid Election-Related Unrest
New Yorkers are purportedly making plans to escape the city ahead of potential election day violence and protests, according to the New York Post.
Paulo Wei, 25, is planning on avoiding unrest by leaving his luxury building on the Upper West Side for his family’s 60-acre farm two hours north of the city, the Post reported Saturday.
“I felt trapped in the apartment — the protests were overwhelming,” Wei said, the Post reported. “It could happen again and I don’t want to be caught up in that. No matter who wins, someone is going to get upset.”
Andrea, 31, a Republican and public relations specialist of New York City’s Flatiron district, said she will leave for Tulum, Mexico, prior to Nov. 3, the Post reported. Her trip will span from Oct. 25 through Nov. 8.
“I went to my parents in New Jersey for about two weeks when the BLM protests got bad and the looting started. So I definitely want to get out of here the week of the election,” Andrea said, the Post reported.”
“I’m thinking if Trump wins, it’s going to be a disaster — the city will be on fire. People are going to go nuts,” Andrea added, the Post reported.
Ooana Trien, 42, of Hell’s Kitchen has been at her family home in Fire Island, New York, since July, the Post reported.
Trien, a supporter of President Donald Trump, plans to mail in her ballot and welcome friends looking for an escape into her home, the Post reported. Her mother believes that regardless of the election results, protesters will attempt to burn down Trump Tower in New York City.
“I told my friends that whoever wanted to get out of the city was welcome here. One friend who lives in Washington Heights is going to vote in the morning [on Nov. 3] and come straight up to the beach,” Trien said, the Post reported.
A leaked NYPD memo said officials are expecting protests to start as early as Oct. 25, and to continue into next year, the Post reported. The memo reportedly said officers should “be prepared for deployment,” the Post reported.
“This November 3rd will be one of the most highly contested presidential elections in the modern era. There is also a strong likelihood that the winner of the presidential election may not be decided for several weeks,” the memo said, the Post reported.

A British supermarket launched a chicken nugget into space
https://www.latimes.com/california/...epartments-robot-goes-where-firefighters-cant
Astronauts, chimpanzees and now a chicken nugget.
Scientists have launched plenty of people and things into space, but a British supermarket is the first to send up a piece of breaded protein.
To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Iceland Foods Ltd., commonly known as Iceland, sent a chicken nugget into the cosmos.
In a video released by the chain, viewers can watch the nugget's ascent into space.
The grocery store chain hired Sent Into Space to launch the chicken nugget into space. According to its website, Sent Into Space is the "world's leading space marketing company, specialising in space-themed marketing campaigns and publicity stunts."
"From a site in rural Wales, the nugget traveled through the Earth's atmosphere to an altitude of 110,000 feet (that's 33.5 km) where it floated in the region known as Near Space," Sent Into Space wrote in a statement on its website. That would be 20.7 miles.
The nugget spent an hour "floating" in space in low pressure and temperatures that can drop to -65 degrees Celsius, according to Sent Into Space.
Near space is the region between our livable atmosphere and outer space, accoring to Sent Into Space. It begins roughly 12 miles (19 km) above Earth where atmospheric pressure reaches the point where a human requires a pressurized suit to survive. Outer space begins at roughly 62 miles (100 km) above earth.
The nugget was launched near the company's headquarters in Wales in a gas-filled weather balloon with an auxiliary satellite tracking system and integrated camera support. The Irish News reported that the nugget descended at 200 mph, with a parachute deploying around 62,000 feet for the nugget's protection.
"What better way to show that our products are out of this world than by sending one of our customer favorites into space?" Andrew Staniland, Iceland's trading director, told The Irish News.
"We've all changed the way we shop in recent months and frozen food has never been so popular. We're looking forward to continuing to celebrate our 50th year with customers and thanking them for their support."

Cow Cuddling Is the New Wellness Trend for Stress Relief
Cuffing season is canceled. We're cuddling cows now.

If you, like many of us, cannot remember the last time you unclenched your jaw and have discovered heights of anxiety you never knew existed over the past several months, nature has a solution: cows — specifically, hugging them.
According to BBC, cow hugging is the latest wellness trend, one many people are embracing as the demand for COVID-era coping mechanisms increases. The practice, which reportedly comes from the Netherlands, supposedly reduces stress in humans by releasing social bonding hormone oxytocin. Cows, specifically, make good cuddling partners thanks to their warm body temperatures and calming presence.
“Cows are very relaxed animals, they don’t fight, they don’t get in trouble,” a farm owner told the outlet, adding that farms even offer “special hugging cows” for those seeking stress release. “People think it’s very relaxing.”
Farms in the U.S. have adopted the fad, called “koe knuffelen” in the Netherlands. Cow cuddlers can visit a farm and take a tour before cuddling up to a cow for two to three hours, according to BBC. Personally, I think this sounds a little invasive. If I were a cow, I wouldn’t be thrilled by the idea of some random stranger lying down with me and trying to absorb my calm cow serenity.
However, there’s reason to believe the cows like it too. According to a 2007 study in the Applied Animal Behavior Science journal, cows also experience relaxation and pleasure from human contact.
So if you’re looking for a reprieve from the daily nightmare of existence, maybe seek out a cow friend to cling to in the end days.
Ignorant urbanites have never seen a cow kick the shit out of a person. Granted, I'm a suburban brat, but I've seen some of the big animal vet shows, and no thanks. A cow is a big fucking animal that can hurt you by accident, even if it is mild tempered.
