Around 1 a.m. local time (4 p.m. EST on May 1, 2011 in the United States), 23 U.S. Navy SEALs in two Black Hawk helicopters descended on a secure compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. That compound, just a mile from an elite Paki military academy, was the home of one Osama bin Laden.

Now News!
We are going to start with something related to the last history item but also funny AF.
A couple of what I can only assume are pranksters, brought a goat into a Lumberton, North Carolina Walmart. The 35-second video shows men in traditional Arab attire pushing the harnessed goat past cereal and checkout lines, drawing points, questions, and cheers from onlookers.
It’s a dog! It has feelings! is the giveaway that this is a prank. Dogs are Haram to muslims, forbidden. If he had said girlfriend or wife. . .
Yesterday hundreds of commies rallied in Washington from the Washington Monument to the White House, demanding immigrant rights, higher taxes on the wealthy, and an end to ICE actions amid the U.S.-Iran conflict’s rising energy costs. As President Trump departed for Florida in Marine One, he silenced their speeches by flying directly over the protesters.
The NYPD just released bodycam footage of an incident that occurred at Grand Central Statlion last month. On April 11, 2026, Anthony Griffin, 44, slashed three elderly riders on a Grand Central subway platform before Transit Detectives Ryan Giuffre and Anthony Manetta confronted him. The officers issued repeated pleas to drop the weapon and get help, but Griffin advanced, prompting Giuffre to fire two shots that ended the threat. Griffin died at Bellevue hospital.
His victims—a 65-year-old man with a skull fracture, a 70-year-old woman, and an 84-year-old man—are reported to be in stable condition.
Logan Christopher Murfin made the threats under the username @Azulenq in September and October 2025, urging others to shoot ICE agents between the eyes and execute them publicly. Investigators traced the posts to his home, and he admitted to them during questioning, citing anger at ICE. He was convicted by a jury of 10 felony counts. He faces to 10 years per count on five assault and murder threat charges and 5 years on five interstate threat counts.
Two things. First, he looks the type to make threats from an anon socmed account whilst living in mom’s musty basement. Second, he is not going to have a good time in prison.
