"The United States (U.S.) has charged an Iranian man on Nov. 7 for allegedly plotting to assassinate U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), 51-year-old Farhad Shakeri was instructed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Oct. 7 to provide a plan to assassinate Trump. The plot was part of the IRGC's mission to avenge the death of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, who died in a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad in January 2020.
Shakeri, who immigrated to the U.S. as a child, was deported around 2008 after spending 14 years in prison for robbery.
He had worked together with Carlisle Rivera, 49, and Jonathon Loadholt, 36, to surveil a female journ*list who had openly opposed the Iranian government.Rivera and Loadholt were offered US$100,000 (S$132,560) to locate and kill her, and had spent months monitoring the journ*list. They were arrested and charged on Nov. 8.

Raleigh police have arrested an NC State student, Andrew Thomas Graney, for a disturbing series of random shootings targeting cars and buildings along I-40 and I-440. Since Monday, there have been at least 12 reported incidents where shots were fired, resulting in damage to eight vehicles and one person being injured. Thankfully, the injury was non-life-threatening, but the situation is understandably rattling for everyone driving in the area.
Graney, a 23-year-old anthropology major, faces charges for assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and firing a weapon into occupied vehicles and dwellings. Authorities have released a second person detained with him, and investigations are ongoing.
Given the reckless endangerment and fear created by these incidents, I wonder if terrorism charges would be considered. What do you think?
Stay vigilant on the roads, and if anyone has surveillance or dashcam footage from I-40 or I-440, Raleigh PD is urging people to come forward to assist in their investigation.

!hibernians are going to the polls at the end of the month. The future of the country hangs in the balance as never before as we decide how we want to elect the same government that we currently have.
There are no other viable options! But that's ok, we can still argue about it. Hot-button issues that none of the parties are willing or able to fix include housing, immigration and health. Eagle-eyed voters will have noticed that anybody who goes into hospital just dies through neglect and nobody can get a doctors appointment. Skill issue for them!
We can't control it, but we can control how we feel about it
At least some swivel-eyed twitter-sick loons are running, so we can spend the next three weeks tutting at them.
