Welp, we survived the eclipse with a minimum of nonsense. I say a minimum because there were some shenanigans yesterday. Like this story out of Florida.
A Georgia woman went on a shooting spree on I-10 near Bonifay Florida. She shot at several cars, injuring at least 2. When the Florida state troopers arrested her she had an AR type rifle and a 9mm handgun in the car. She was charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and improper discharge of a firearm. You probably haven’t heard much about it in the MSM. I’ll leave it up to you to decide why that is. . .
Speaking of the eclipse, NASA shared some really cool footage of the moon’s shadow taken from the ISS.
The ‘adults’ in charge of the Biden camp have made a YUUGE error. One that may cost him ballot access in Ohio. From PJ Media:
According to a report in Sunday’s Washington Post, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s office has informed “Ohio Democratic Party Chair Liz Walters that the Democratic National Committee’s nominating convention is scheduled too late for Biden to make the Ohio ballot.”
The law requires nominees to be certified at least 90 days before the general election, and Biden won’t become the official nominee until the Democrats hold their convention in Chicago — less than 90 days before the general election. Biden will miss the deadline by 12 days.
Whoops. . .
In a culture war victory, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) announced trans athletes can no longer participate in female sports. The NAIA Council of Presidents approved the policy in a 20-0 vote. According to the transgender participation policy, all athletes may participate in NAIA-sponsored male sports but only athletes whose biological sex assigned at birth is female and who have not begun hormone therapy will be allowed to participate in women’s sports.
Coeur D’alene doesn’t come to mind as an Islamic fundamentalist hotspot. But that is where the FBI arrested an 18-year-old Idaho man. Alexander Scott Mercurio is accused of planning terrorist attacks on churches as well as providing support to the Islamic State (ISIS). According to the DOJ statement on the arrest, Mercurio “pledged his allegiance to ISIS and intended to commit attacks on its behalf” and that he “planned to attack individuals at churches in Coeur d’Alene on April 7 using weapons, including knives, firearms, and fire,”. Mercurio is charged with attempting to provide material support or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization. If convicted, Mercurio faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison.
