“FBI charging papers have alleged that on Coffman’s person and in his truck, authorities found 11 homemade, molotov-cocktail-type incendiary devices; a rifle, a shotgun, two 9mm pistols and a .22-caliber pistol, all loaded; …
“as well as a crossbow, several machetes, a stun gun and smoke devices.” washingtonpost.com/local/legal-is…
“Prosecutors alleged that the 11 jars held substances made with gasoline and melted plastic foam to produce a dangerous ‘napalm-like’ explosion of sticky, flammable liquid.”
“… Staffers for the [#KremlinCruz] concluded that Coffman ‘did not seem threatening’ but seemed ‘unbalanced’ or ‘not 100% there’ and deemed his comments ‘odd enough to record,’ Capitol Police noted, according to the ruling.”
Doesn’t this just describe many supporters of #KremlinCruz — “not 100% there”?
“Office notes of Coffman’s call stated: ‘Man says that he went to [Cruz’s] DC home to visit him with no answer at the door, and then called to try to arrange a meeting with him over the phone.
“ ‘Directed him to the scheduler’s email address. He is also looking for contact info for S. Hannity, M. Levin, and R. Limbaugh,’ the judge’s ruling said, referring to conservative commentators Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh.
“A Cruz aide also noted that Coffman seemed ‘to be coming from the ‘friend’ angle in wanting to . . . help with the election fraud he saw,’ according to the filing.”

The “once-in-a-generation winter storm” followed the last once-in-a-generation winter storm by a mere 10 years. Texas expected the miracle of the free market to lead power generators & providers to winterize. They didn’t. Now it appears Texas consumers will pay for it.
“The once-in-a-generation winter storm in Texas that knocked out the state’s power grid in February may have killed as much as five times as many people as the state has confirmed in its official death toll.
“The state has reported 151 deaths connected to the storm—but a BuzzFeed News analysis of excess deaths in Texas right before and after the storm shows that around 700 people died in the week of the most widespread power failures.

“This summer in Tokyo, barring a stunner, Ledecky, 24, should equal or surpass the most gold medals in Olympic history by a woman. Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina has held the mantle of winningest female Olympian with nine gold medals since 1964;

“Sen. Elizabeth Warren went after JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on the subject of overdraft fees during a committee hearing on Tuesday—saying that he and the other banking honchos who appeared are full of ‘baloney.’
“The Massachusetts Democrat called Dimon the ‘star of the overdraft show’ and said his bank took higher fees than its competitors. Dimon lashed back, calling Warren’s analysis ‘inaccurate’ but could not provide alternate numbers.
“He said JPMorgan Chase waived overdraft fees for those who asked. But Warren pointed out that regulators had recommended banks waive those fees automatically.

“DFW International Airport is on pace for a record number of arrests for ‘interference with a flight crew,’ part of a nationwide trend of unruly passengers putting flight attendants on edge and sending federal regulators scrambling.” dallasnews.com/business/airli…
“Alan Black, the airport’s director of public safety, told an FAA panel Wednesday that the airport’s police department saw a 300% increase in arrests for the ‘interference with a flight crew’ charge between 2018 and 2019.
“The spike fell in 2020, but only because airport traffic dropped 60% during the COVID-19 pandemic. Flight attendants and FAA officials have said unruly behavior has most often followed passengers refusing to wear masks.

“A group of anti-fascist researchers, the Anonymous Comrades Collective, figured out Welton’s double life and shared the details with HuffPost.”
“Many nameless fascists today lead double lives, hiding behind avatars to promote their noxious beliefs online while holding down respectable day jobs in education, military, law enforcement, medicine or the government.
“But leading an extremist life online carries the risk of exposure and the fear that one day soon it may all come crashing down — something it appears Welton may have anticipated.
