monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

A 24-year-old soldier in Kansas who allegedly planned to fight with a violent far-right group in Ukraine was charged Monday with distributing bomb-making information over social media, according to the Justice Department.

The FBI says Army Spc. Jarrett William Smith, stationed at Fort Riley, came under investigation in March, when authorities learned he had given bomb-making lessons over Facebook. The FBI also says Smith was in talks about traveling to Ukraine, where he wanted to fight alongside the neo-Nazi paramilitary Azov Battalion.

House Speaker Pelosi to announce formal impeachment inquiry of Trump

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to announce a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump, a dramatic turnaround by the Democratic leader that sets up a constitutional and political clash pitting the Congress against the nation’s chief executive.

Pelosi (D-Calif.) is slated to make her announcement later on Tuesday after a closed-door meeting with her caucus, according to Democratic officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to freely describe private deliberations.

A Lebanese man detained in Greece on suspicion of hijacking a plane in 1985 has been released after police found they had the wrong person.

Mohammed Saleh, 65, was detained on Thursday in Mykonos after his identity came up during a passport check as being wanted by Germany.

TWA Flight 847 was seized by militants thought to belong to the Islamist group Hezbollah, a claim it denied. A US navy diver was killed.

Mr Saleh was released late on Monday.

A man with an identical name is wanted by authorities for the hijacking, along with a kidnapping committed in 1987, the Lebanese foreign ministry said.

However, Mr Saleh's father's name does not match that of the suspect, the ministry told AFP.

...for His Fatness.

Trump says he is worthy of a Nobel Prize ‘for a lot of things’ — but isn’t treated fairly

Is that a crime?

Granted, from the article there is good reason to arrest the guy. But for simply explaining how to make a bomb??

Granted, from the article there is good reason to arrest the guy. But for simply explaining how to make a bomb??

Thought you'd support the Neo Nazis too. You're so predictable.

The NRA is the modern day equivalent of the brownshirts after all.
