They misspelled "terrorists."

They really manage to get that wrong an awful lot.

Yeah.

Crazies like that make me so sad/angry/upset. Something similar happened here in 2009 (my young-earth creationist neighbor was involved) -thankfully sans firearms. They also got into school board positions and wreaked havoc. It's like a sickness and it really takes a toll on a community.

This isn't exactly for this thread but it doesn't seem to fit anywhere else and I kinda feel like I've lost my mind.

The 'official' Obama portraits were unveiled but those aren't the portraits I remember seeing. I specifically remember Michelle's multi-color/black&white block dress.

Anyone know what happened??

I think that’s the one that’s hanging at the Smithsonian.

A reporter in Las Vegas was stabbed to death outside his home Friday night, and it appears that police suspect a local county official is involved; he is a lame-duck Democrat who lost his primary in June following stories by the reporter about the official being an abusive boss.

That's what I get. I got wanton of fan mail.

Headlines from a story at (NBC):

"Michigan man who killed his wife went down a 'rabbit hole' of conspiracy theories after Trump's 2020 loss, daughter says. Igor Lanis became obsessed with QAnon and the 'deep state' before he gunned down his wife, nearly killed their daughter and then was fatally shot by police, his other daughter said."

The family lived in the town of Walled Lake. He was 53. His wife was 56; he shot her in the back multiple times as she was leaving the house. The wounded daughter is 25 and called 911. The other daughter, 21, wasn't home at the time. She says the man regularly argued about politics with his wife and daughters and that he thought Fox News had been compromised by the left. He also killed the family dog. When police arrived, he shot at them and they returned fire, killing him.

Edit: Sorry, I now see that this story was already mentioned by Rose in the 2020 Election thread. (I searched the forum unsuccessfully for "Michigan" before posting here, but again I should have read more carefully first.)

No worries. I didn't know where to place it. The guy way into the QAnon conspiracy theories .. and what does Trump do? Egg them on, even after this. What a horrible ... being.

Dennis Prager is a prominent political commentator with a nationally syndicated radio program (I've heard it here in Cleveland):

The Washington Post reports that Oklahoma's State Bureau of Investigation has been secretly investigating a "body dumping ground":

[N.E. Brigand]

Members of Antifa and the Proud Boys fought each other at a January 2021 demonstration in San Diego. There appear to have been violent acts on both sides, but prosecutors have chosen to pursue assault and conspiracy charges only against the Antifa members, and prosecutors have persuaded a judge to keep the identify of the victims in the case secret from the defense, but USA Today has identified some of them as members of white supremacist organizations. That doesn't mean they deserved to be assaulted, but it likely would support an argument that instead of a coordinated attack by Antifa against innocent victims, what you have here is what it seems to be: clashing protesters engaged in a brawl.

(Edited to add: I saw last night that V posted some useful caveats concerning this USA Today story, indicating that it may show bias against the prosecutor, and while that post appears to have been deleted, I would like to say that I appreciated that response and its notes of caution.)
