[Breitbart] A Minnesota man allegedly impersonated an FBI agent in a failed jailbreak of accused assassin Luigi Mangione this week.
The attempted jailbreak of Mangione, who stands accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, allegedly occurred late Wednesday when 35-year-old Mark Anderson entered the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, telling prison workers he had in his possession a court order mandating an unspecified prisoner’s release. When the guards asked Anderson to produce his credentials, he presented to them his Minnesota driver’s license while claiming to be "in possession of weapons," per NBC News.
Anderson also claimed "that he was an FBI Agent in possession of paperwork ’signed by a judge’ authorizing the release of a specific inmate," the complaint states.
The inmate is not named in the court document.
"Anderson also displayed and threw at [Bureau of Prisons] officers numerous documents," the complaint states. "They appear to be related to filing claims against the United States Department of Justice."
Prison workers checked Anderson’s backpack to find he had in his possession a barbecue fork and "round steel blade" like that of a pizza cutter.
According to ABC News, Anderson appeared in court on Thursday where "Magistrate Judge Taryn Merkl ordered Anderson detained, deciding he is a risk of flight and danger to the community.
"Anderson has multiple open criminal cases in the Bronx," added the outlet. "Meanwhile, Mangione is due in court on Friday; the judge overseeing his federal case may decide if the death penalty will remain a sentencing option if he’s convicted."

[Daily Wire] More than 1,000 firms that could get no-bid contracts from the federal government because they are owned by purportedly "disadvantaged" minorities have been banned from the program after they missed a deadline to turn over anti-fraud documents.
The documents were requested by the Small Business Administration because of the frequency of "pass-through" scams where minority "fronts" get contracts, then have large or white-owned businesses do the work while keeping a cut.
The now-suspended firms received more than $5 billion in federal money in the last four years, SBA said, and make up a quarter of all contractors getting preference under the so-called "8(a)" law.
Only a quarter? That’s not bad for the first pass...
"The Trump administration has acted from Day One to dismantle the discriminatory agenda that put white small business owners at a disadvantage, and to crack down on the fraud and corruption that proliferates within DEI programs," SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler said in a statement. "Today, we are suspending over 1,000 8(a) firms who have refused to provide basic documents that every legitimate business should have on-hand."
The Senate Committee on Small Business held a hearing on waste, fraud, and abuse tied to the 8(a) program, during which this reporter testified on the widespread fraud that exists around it.

The disadvantaged, minority and alphabet firm set-asides have by and large been an ongoing scam for many years.
Sure, there are disadvantaged firms that actually need initial help breaking into the larger markets. Unfortunately there are the majority that never advance their capabilities and are content to just get their 3%-15% 'pass-through' contracts without much effort.

Growing up outside DC, I knew a group that tried to get me mixed up in this. Wanted me to build their website. Declined.
You only needed a woman or a diversity CEO and if you were the only minority/female ran business to bid on the govt contract, you almost always got it.
This group never got busted. $$$. It was nice of the federal govt to ask these groups if they wanted to be investigated for fraud... Did the govt even care, IDK.
[FoxNews] Nedas Revuckas, 19, faces first-degree murder and other charges after allegedly stabbing a pregnant woman about 70 times in her apartment
An Illinois teenager was arrested for allegedly stabbing a pregnant mother to death and attacking her pet dog with a knife before setting the woman's home on fire during a Facebook Marketplace meetup.
Nedas Revuckas, 19, is facing several charges, including first-degree murder, intentional homicide of an unborn child, animal cruelty, armed robbery and arson, after allegedly stabbing Eliza Morales, 30, dozens of times in her Downers Grove apartment unit on Monday, according to Downers Grove police.
Revuckas responded to a Facebook Marketplace listing for a red 1994 Ford Ranger pickup truck Morales’s husband posted on Saturday. Investigators said Revuckas visited the Morales' home to view the truck and later left with it while it still had the Morales’ license plates, according to Fox 32.
He arranged to meet at the couple’s apartment building on Monday to return the plates and obtain a bill of sale, the outlet reported.
Surveillance video later showed Revuckas meeting Morales, who was five months pregnant with her second child, at around 5:30 p.m.
Morales was seen at one point handing Revuckas a screwdriver. He entered the building with a screwdriver in his hand behind his back about five minutes later, and video shows the door to the Morales’ unit opening and closing during what investigators say appeared to be a struggle inside.
Police said the door handle turned from the inside, suggesting someone was attempting to escape.
A short time later, smoke was seen coming from beneath the apartment door.
Firefighters responded and found Morales near the apartment door. She was pronounced dead after being put in an ambulance.
Morales' husband was at work during the encounter, and the couple’s 2-year-old child was not home either.
But the couple's elderly dog was inside the apartment and was stabbed between the eyes, authorities said. Revuckas also admitted to kicking the dog.
The dog managed to escape through a sliding door during the fire and was treated at a veterinary hospital.
Investigators later arrived at Revuckas' home in Westmont, where he lives with his girlfriend, and found the pickup truck in the driveway. He was taken into custody late Monday night.
Revuckas told investigators he was at the Morales' apartment to return the license plates and retrieve the bill of sale but claimed he left through the main entrance. However, surveillance footage does not show him exiting the building.
During a search warrant executed at his home on Tuesday, investigators found boots and clothing with what appeared to be blood.
He later confessed to killing Morales, telling investigators he stabbed her 10 times. He said he was angry about the condition of the truck he had purchased and took out his frustration on her. She had told him she was pregnant during the struggle inside the apartment, authorities said.
An autopsy conducted by the DuPage County Coroner found roughly 70 stab wounds on Morales, most inflicted by a knife. The coroner said there were defensive injuries and that most wounds were to Morales’ head and neck. The preliminary cause of death was multiple sharp-force injuries. Soot was also discovered in her airway.
The coroner also said the preliminary cause of death included intrauterine fetal demise caused by her injuries.
Vaginal bruising was reported, and a sexual assault kit was conducted, but Revuckas denied sexually assaulting the woman.
Revuckas also admitted to starting the fire using items from the apartment and the kitchen stove. He told police he stacked household items on the stove and used chemicals and sanitizer as accelerants.
"I’m gonna spend the rest of my life missing her," Morales' husband, Gabriel, told WLS-TV. "I can get every second back with her and just continue trying to live through her for my daughter, and continue to be strong for my family."
A GoFundMe set up for the family raised nearly $30,000 as of Thursday morning.
"The loss of a beloved wife, daughter, and mother — along with her unborn child has left pain that words cannot fully express," the fundraiser set up by a family member reads.

[FoxNews] Former North Carolina elections official allegedly placed MDMA pills in teens' ice cream cones, facing felony charges
A former county elections official in North Carolina has been indicted on felony charges after authorities say he placed pills into the ice cream cones of two teenage girls.
A grand jury in New Hanover County indicted James Edwin Yokeley Jr., 66, on two counts of unlawful distribution of food or beverage and one count of intentional child abuse involving serious physical injury, according to court records reviewed by WBTV.
According to the Wilmington Police Department (WPD), authorities allege that the grandfather placed pills into his 16-year-old step-granddaughter and her 15-year-old friend's Dairy Queen ice cream cones in August 2025.
According to WECT, in a preliminary test, the pills tested positive for the psychedelic drug MDMA and cocaine.
According to the local outlet, the teens had not ingested the pills and reported the discovery to police after finding the foreign objects in their desserts.
Investigators later reviewed surveillance video and allegedly found Yokeley placing the pills into the ice cream.
Thank goodness he did it under cameras instead of at home or in a park.
Authorities initially charged him with contaminating food or drink with a controlled substance, felony child abuse and drug possession after preliminary testing suggested the pills could contain illegal narcotics.
The charges were dismissed on Dec. 22 after a lab test confirmed that the substance was not controlled under North Carolina General Statutes. Prosecutors later presented the case to a grand jury, resulting in the new indictment.
At the time of his arrest, Yokeley was serving as the chair of the Surry County Board of Elections. He resigned shortly after the allegations became public.
"I have concluded that it’s in the best interest of the State Board of Elections and Surry County Board of Elections, regarding my own falsely accused circumstances, to step down at this time," Yokeley wrote in the letter.
[FoxNews] Officer Alexandria Cano-Castro was shot after confronting suspect who had allegedly killed a man in Corpus Christi
A Texas police officer is in critical condition after being shot in the head by a homicide suspect earlier this week.
The incident unfolded just after 2:45 p.m. on Jan. 23, when officers with the Corpus Christi Police Department responded to a shooting in the 4900 block of Ayers Street, located approximately 145 miles from San Antonio, according to FOX 4.
When authorities arrived, they reportedly located a man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The individual was taken to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
Less than an hour later, officers located the suspect’s vehicle in a nearby area and attempted to conduct a traffic stop, FOX 4 reported.
However, authorities say the 38-year-old suspect pulled out a handgun and began firing on the three officers.
Two officers were reportedly struck as they exchanged gunfire with the suspect. A third officer also sustained injuries after being struck by shrapnel.
"Officer (Alexandria) Cano-Castro, a 36-year-old senior officer, was shot in the head while attempting to apprehend a homicide suspect," Constable Mark Herman's Office in Harris County said.
Cano-Castro was subsequently transported to a hospital in critical condition. The other officer who sustained gunshot injuries was listed in stable condition, while the third received treatment for their injuries, FOX 4 reported.
The homicide suspect was shot multiple times in the exchange and was taken to a nearby hospital, where he remains in custody and is expected to survive.
Authorities have not released the name of the suspect or the identities of the other two officers involved.

[Regnum] China has carried out executions against 11 members of a large criminal group that controlled fraudulent call centers in northern Myanmar. China Central Television reported this on January 29.
According to the court, since 2015, a criminal group known as the Min clan has established several closed centers in the Kokang and Laojie districts of Myanmar. Under armed guard, they operated telephone and online fraud, as well as illegal gambling operations. The total amount of criminal proceeds exceeded 100 billion yuan (approximately $14 billion).
The investigation found that individuals involved in the fraudulent schemes were forcibly detained, beaten, and tortured. In some cases, this resulted in serious injuries and even death. At least 14 Chinese citizens fell victim to the crimes over the course of ten years.
In September 2025, the Wenzhou City Court found the defendants guilty of premeditated murder, unlawful imprisonment, causing grievous bodily harm, fraud, and gambling. After appeals, the verdict was upheld and later confirmed by the Supreme People's Court of China.
After receiving the appropriate orders, the death sentences were carried out. Before their executions, the convicts were granted visits from close relatives.

[Just The News] President Donald Trump urged Congress during his speech in Iowa Tuesday to finalize a deal that would approve the year-round sale of ethanol gasoline, stating that once it did so, he would "sign it without delay."
The push comes after the topic threatened to derail the House’s passage of a government funding bill last week as Republican lawmakers remain divided on the legislation based on whether they are representing the interests of the oil industry versus farmers, according to The Hill.
Trump acknowledged that he supported year-round E15 sales, which refers to the high ethanol gas that has an ethanol content of up to 15%, while on the campaign trail in 2024 but said any deal would need to work for farmers and refiners.
"The people of Iowa know that I am trusting Speaker Mike Johnson, who’s great, and [Senate Majority] Leader John Thune, who’s great ... to find a deal that works for farmers, consumers and refiners, including small and mid-sized refiners," Trump said. "In other words, to get E15 approved, and they’re working on it. They’re very close to getting it done."
Thune, who is from South Dakota, confirmed that he is committed to getting the E15 legislation "across the finish line," and said he even spoke to the president about the topic on Tuesday morning.
"I’ve spoken to the president on numerous occasions, including as recently as this morning, about [E15s] importance to places like South Dakota, so I appreciate hearing him reiterate his support for it today during his trip to the Midwest," Thune posted on X. "Implementation of year-round E15 would be a huge win for South Dakota producers and would boost the agriculture economy and rural communities across the nation.
"I remain committed to continue working with my colleagues in Congress to get a year-round E15 proposal across the finish line and to the president’s desk," he added.

So one of the things is 'capturing the media zeitgeist' or such, so why we keep seeing a lot of has beens and never was media smurfs trying to make headlines. Such as Lady Gaga. Kids, she was a thing of sorts sucking off of Madonna, way back during the first Daniel Craig Bond Movie. Her best song was Perform This Way by Weird Al.
Anyways, I guess she had a concert in Tokyo and blah blah blah my heart aches from ICE. Lady, please, Japan just told all their muslims to shape up or get the fuck out, not asking. Johnny Somali shit all over the place recently until he got booted, else the locals and gangsters were to skin him. Alive, preferably, he's an ass.

[Regnum] The risk of repeated magnetic storms remains on Earth in the next 24 hours. This was reported on January 29 by the press service of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
According to scientists, the geomagnetic environment remains moderately disturbed. Short-term geomagnetic disturbances and a weak magnetic storm were recorded yesterday.
The Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences explained that the increase in solar wind speed and temperature is due to the influence of a coronal hole. Despite its small size, it has a noticeable impact on Earth due to its favorable location relative to the planet. Earth will remain in its zone of influence for about a day, during which time short-term geomagnetic disturbances and repeated magnetic storms are possible.
Active regions that previously caused strong flares may also appear on the side of the sun visible from Earth within 24 hours. Therefore, scientists are not ruling out a gradual increase in solar activity.
Experts previously warned that Earth could expect an increased number of magnetic storms in 2026. They estimate that coronal holes on the Sun, whose number has increased significantly recently and continues to influence space weather, remain a key factor in geomagnetic disturbances.

[Regnum] An international team of astronomers has discovered a potentially habitable planet, HD 137 010 b, 146 light-years from Earth. The scientists published their research in the scientific journal Astrophysical Journal Letters.
According to the article, the planet was identified using data obtained in 2017 as part of NASA's Kepler space telescope's extended mission.
Preliminary estimates suggest that planet HD 137 010 b has a radius only 6% smaller than Earth's, and it is highly likely to be in the habitable zone of its nearest star. However, because the star in that system is dimmer and cooler than the Sun, the planet's average surface temperature would be comparable to that of Mars, at around -70°C.
Astronomers also emphasized that the discovered object is the first habitable planet candidate illuminated sufficiently by the nearest star for further study. HD 137 010 b is located approximately 146 light-years (1.38 quadrillion kilometers) from Earth.
In March, Elon Musk, founder of the American company SpaceX, stated that human colonization of Mars could begin within five to seven years. He emphasized that the main question in this area is whether it will be possible to achieve autonomous human habitation on Mars. If this does not happen, the colony will die out when supplies from Earth cease.
