(CNN) A shooting at a Houston nightclub left six people injured, including one who is listed in critical condition, police said early Sunday.
Police responded to the shooting overnight at a club on Richmond Avenue in west Houston, Police Chief Troy Finner said at a news conference, and found multiple victims ranging in age from late 20s to early 30s.
"Apparently there’s some kind of disturbance inside of the club that came out into the parking lot," he said.
No suspects are in custody. The investigation remains active, and police are reviewing surveillance camera footage in the area, said Finner, who noted he had limited information to share.
"It makes no sense to fire up into a crowded parking lot," he said, vowing to find those responsible. "We’re gonna hold them accountable."
[NYPOST] A former “RuPaul’s Drag Race” winner could wind up doing a different type of “serving.” He's got a face that sez "Yes, officer! That's the... ummm... man." And the hair to back it up.
Season 2 victor Tyra Sanchez — also known as King Tyra — has been charged with assault on a law enforcement officer and resisting without violence after allegedly threatening to gun down Florida cops, according to an arrest report obtained by TMZ Saturday. "Arrr! I'll gun yez all down! I'm a celebrity!"
The saga began with a minor car crash in Starke, a city roughly 40 miles southwest of Jacksonville, but quickly escalated after police arrived on the scene. "Look out! It's da cops!"
Tyra allegedly jumped out of her car and began verbally berating the cops, the report claims. "Why ain't you guys out chasin' real criminals? Why'nchou come back after you've solved who shot Jon Benet?"
The reality star is accused of making the threat to shoot the officer and reaching into her car when he tried to slap handcuffs on her. "Here. Jes' lemme get my firearm!"
Police grabbed Tyra, placed her in a bear hug and deployed a Taser, but the drag queen was reportedly still able to make a break for it. "Zap him... ummm... her, Hutch!... Ng-ng-ng-ng!..."
"That's what happens when yer bear huggin' somebody bein' tased, Starsky!"
"Expensive sneakers... ng-ng... don't fail me now!.. ng-ng..."
"She's... ummm... he's gettin' away!"
[thud!]
"No he/she/it ain't!"
"Youse ain't usin' my preferred pronouns!"
"Shuddup."

[NYPOST] A man stabbed to death during a vicious Chelsea street brawl was wanted for murder in Baltimore, sources told The Post.
The victim, 36, was knifed by another man Friday morning during a wild broad-daylight melee in the middle of a crosswalk, where they settled their score as non-plussed
...given that nonplussed means both surprised and confused and unperturbed, surely the NY Post editor could have searched his extensive vocabulary for a word that meant just one of those things...
New Yorkers went about their business, according to a video of the face-off.
Nisean Graves, 34, a homeless man, was later charged with murder in the fatal encounter and was held without bail during a Saturday appearance in Manhattan Criminal Court.
Video shows Graves instigating the unprovoked confrontation by taking a swing at the victim, said prosecutor Emily Yonan, who noted Graves repeatedly gave officers different names once he was caught. How does one "instigate" an unprovoked aggression? Isn't taking a poke at somebody a provocation?"
Graves and the victim fought for several minutes before he allegedly pulled a knife, prosecutors alleged.
The victim, who had no weapon, "threw a kick” at Graves, who simultaneously swung his blade and stabbed the victim in the chest.
Graves, who is homeless, walked away as the mortally maimed man "collapsed to the ground, while holding his chest with both hands," Yonan told Judge Stephen Antignani.

[ABC] Ted Kaczynski, the convicted terrorist known as the Unabomber, was found dead in his prison cell early Saturday, according to a Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesperson. He was 81.
Kaczynski was found unresponsive in his cell around 12:30 a.m. ET and transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Kaczynski was previously in a maximum security facility in Colorado but was moved to a federal medical center in Butner, North Carolina, in December 2021 due to poor health.
Kaczynski, who went nearly 20 years without being captured until his arrest in 1996, was considered America's most prolific bomber.

Ted is the type of guy the feds fear most: crazy smart and targeting people who he feels cause his problems. The last thing politicians want is for crazy smart people to bypass innocent people and go straight to the source.

who went nearly 20 years without being captured
It was the public publishing of his manifesto that resulted in his brother and mother recognizing it may be him that lead to his arrest and reporting it. The 'authorities' were against that publication.
[TRMLX] The Pentagon has been hard at work keeping us all safe from "fringe social media." The Joint Staff Civil Disturbance cell, an element within the National Military Command Center (NMCC), referenced numerous posts from conservatives such as LTG(R) Flynn, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Rep. Lauren Boebert, Matt Walsh, and others in a document titled "Alternative Social Media Update 06 February 2021 (0600)." The document highlights specific platforms such as Gab and 4chan as being fringe, yet it also posted screenshots of a Tweet from Rep. Boebert.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE DOCUMENT
The intent of the document appears to be to highlight content trending on these "fringe sites" that may be a security concern. The executive summary highlights trending topics on "alternative social media" while specifically referencing interviews with LTG(R) Flynn. Just found this site. You could make a post out of almost every story if you wanted to. As a stone civilian here, I'd be interested in the opinions of our commenters who have served.

The civilian bureaucracy and top bass of the military has become insubordinate to elected officials and to the people. The longer this goes on the more the gangrene will creep downward into the officer ranks. We saw that with Vindman. Fixing this can no longer be done with modern surgeon tools. It will have to be Gettysburg style.

"The NMCC is a product of the early nuclear age. It was built out of the Joint War Room that preceded it during the Kennedy Administration. Till this very day, the facility directly supports the National Command Authority and its ability to rapidly order-up nuclear attacks. As such, the amazing communications capabilities the facility has at its disposal are really its greatest asset.
Beyond connecting the National Command Authority during a crisis, the NMCC also issues the Emergency Action Messages (EAMS) that go out to bomber units, nuclear ballistic missile submarines, and ICBM missile silos scattered throughout the central United States, as well as the command and control aircraft that also support these delivery systems and the National Military Command System overall. These EAMs can quickly start or avert the end of the world as we know it.

Well its nice for them to make a list of the people who probably should be given the task of reorganizing America's national defense when the MIC is disassembled and the American homeland becomes the primary focus of what force structure is needed.

This has been pointed out for at least 20 years. Climate change proponents (won't call them climatologists) love to "normalize" data to get the results they want. How fortunate urban heat center data readings come already pre-normalized.

One way mosquitoes tend to locate people to bite is by the carbon dioxide we breathe out. Because masks cover our mouths, it may seem likely that they could prevent mosquitoes from finding and biting us, but unfortunately, this is not the case.
Even if the face mask prevents mosquitoes from seeing the carbon dioxide you emit while breathing, these pests can still find you in other ways – like through body heat, sweating, or even bright colors. While wearing a face mask may be beneficial for other reasons, it’s unlikely to deter mosquitoes from biting you.

The real issue is the SGT and the two female cops and what disciplinary actions are being taken against them for obvious bias and dis-honesty in the arrest report/charging documents?
Watch the video from the article and then consider the following quote from the charging documents that the DA later dismissed without mentioning specifics: ""As per a court document acquired by The Lancaster Patriot, Damon Atkins faced charges of “Disorderly Conduct Engage in Fighting.”
The criminal complaint entails “the intent to cause substantial public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk thereof, he engages in fighting or threatening, or in violent or tumultuous behavior” and that Atkins “despite being warned by police just moments prior, yelled derogatory comments at an organization that was holding a permitted event.”
The Sergeant would lose his stripes for this in an honest department!
[TOLONEWS] The Ministry of Public Health said that another case of polio ...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set. Currently the disease is only found in Pakistain and Afghanistain... has been reported in Bihsud district of Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. province, bringing the national total in 2023 to 4 cases, all of which are in Nangarhar.
"This new case of polio was reported in Bihsud district of the province. The child who was infected by the disease is 48 months old. Nangarhar and all eastern zones of the country are in danger of polio," the statement said.
An official of UNICEF, Kama Shah Sayed, said that that the children who are deprived of the vaccine are most likely to be affected by the polio.
"However, today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday... there have been many campaigns for polio, but still polio cases happen, the reason is that the children who are deprived of vaccine, are being affected," he said.
Meanwhile, ...back at the argument, Livia grabbed for Jane's hair to make her point. Jane elbowed her in the face in rebuttal... some residents of Nangarhar urged officials to launch further vaccination campaigns.
"The medical teams should be increased. The common people should be advised about it," said Mohibullah, a resident of Nangarhar.
Prior to this, one polio case was registered in Bati Koot, one case was registered in Koot and another was registered in Nazian district of Nangarhar.

[AFRICANEWS] The UN on Friday (June 09) announced a unit of 60 peacekeepers from Tanzania was to be repatriated from the Central African Republic following serious allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse.
The alleged crimes were not dated. Speaking from New York, the spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General said a preliminary investigation identified 4 victims.
"The identified victims are being provided with care and support by the Mission’s humanitarian partners. The Mission has also deployed a team to further engage with the community," Stéphane Dujarric said.
"The Tanzanian authorities have been formally notified and have deployed national investigation officers to the Central African Republic [...]"
Credible evidence wasfound against 11 members of the unit formerly based in the western part of the Central African Republic.
"The unit has been relocated to another base while the investigation continues, and members of the unit are confined to barracks, this is in order to protect victims as well of course as the integrity of the investigation", Dujarric revealed.
"The unit will be repatriated once their presence is no longer required in theatre by the Sherlocks...."
Dujarric explained that the "by the Secretariat to repatriate this unit" was in accordance with resolution 2272 of the Security Council "where the Council ’endorses the decision of the Secretary-General to repatriate a particular military unit or formed police unit of a contingent when there is credible evidence of widespread or systemic sexual exploitation and abuse by that unit’."
The United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... recorded on its website that since 2015, 254 accusations of sexual exploitation and abuse targeting members of its Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic or MINUSCA.
[FoxNews] The Biden administration on Saturday confirmed that China is working to increase its spying efforts in Cuba, calling it an "ongoing issue" that predates the current president, after officials initially said reports that Beijing had secured a deal to build a new spy base on the island 90 miles from the U.S. were inaccurate.
"This is an ongoing issue, and not a new development, and the arrangement as characterized in the reporting does not comport with our understanding," an administration official told Fox News on Saturday.
The Wall Street Journal first reported Thursday that China and Cuba have reached a secret agreement for China to establish an electronic eavesdropping facility on the island, allowing Chinese intelligence services to "scoop up electronic communications throughout the southeastern U.S., where many military bases are located, and monitor U.S. ship traffic."
The report, citing officials familiar with the matter, said that China had agreed to pay Cuba several billion dollars to allow it to build the eavesdropping station. The report says U.S. officials described the intelligence on the plans as "convincing."
However, White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters Thursday that the report on the China-Cuba base is "not accurate." The National Security Council separately told Fox News that the WSJ report and a Politico report on the subject are inaccurate, but it did not elaborate.
On Saturday the administration official said that the administration had been briefed on a "number of sensitive PRC efforts around the world to expand its overseas logistics, basing, and collection infrastructure globally to allow the PLA to project and sustain military power at greater distance" in January 2021.
The official said China had considered a number of sites spanning the Atlantic Ocean, Latin America, the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, and the Indo-Pacific.
"This effort included the presence of PRC intelligence collection facilities in Cuba," the official said. "In fact, the PRC conducted an upgrade of its intelligence collection facilities in Cuba in 2019. This is well-documented in the intelligence record."
The statement also appeared to criticize the Trump administration for its handling of China's efforts in Cuba.
"This is an issue that this Administration inherited. It was our assessment that, despite awareness of the basing efforts and some attempts to address this challenge in the past Administration, we were not making enough progress and needed a more direct approach," the official said.
The official said that President Biden had directed his team to address the challenge, and that the administration has been working on that approach "quietly" and "carefully" with a strategy that "begins with diplomacy" and has been seeing results.
"We’ve engaged governments that are considering hosting PRC bases at high levels and exchanged information with them," they said.
"Our experts assess that our diplomatic efforts have slowed the PRC down," the official added. "We think the PRC isn’t quite where they had hoped to be. There are still challenges, and we continue to be concerned about the PRC’s longstanding activities with Cuba. The PRC will keep trying to enhance its presence in Cuba, and we will keep working to disrupt it."
The official added that the administration remains confident that it is able to meet security commitments at home and in the region.
The report of the base in Cuba had sparked concern from both sides of the aisle and in both chambers of Congress
"The United States must respond to China’s ongoing and brazen attacks on our nation’s security. We must be clear that it would be unacceptable for China to establish an intelligence facility within 100 miles of Florida and the United States, in an area also populated with key military installations and extensive maritime traffic," Senate Intelligence Committee members Mark Warner, D-Va., and Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said in a joint statement. "We urge the Biden administration to take steps to prevent this serious threat to our national security and sovereignty."
In an interview with Fox News Digital on Friday, Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, said the move from Beijing was a sign it was preparing for conflict with the U.S.
"The most valuable part of a conflict is information. The person that controls the information, the person that intercepts the information. If you can control the information of the conflict, you're controlling that conflict. China understands that. The United States certainly understands that," he said.
