[Blaze] The sheriff's office in Bay County, Florida, said officers responded Tuesday to a reported home invasion robbery at a residence in the 8200 block of Random Road. The area is about 10 minutes north of Panama City Beach.
Patrol deputies made contact with the victim, who reported that two masked suspects entered his home while he was sleeping and stole a large amount of cash, officials said.
The victim stated he confronted the suspects inside the residence and chased them out, officials said, adding that the suspects then fled in their SUV.
The victim then entered his own vehicle and pursued the SUV off Random Road and eastbound on Highway 388, officials said.
During the chase, the victim reported striking the suspect vehicle multiple times in an attempt to stop it, officials said, adding that after the final impact, the suspect vehicle swerved and crashed into a ditch.
When deputies arrived, they learned that the occupants of the crashed vehicle fled on foot into a nearby wooded area, officials said.
Investigators soon learned that the crashed vehicle was registered to 22-year-old Sarra Swartz, officials said.
While processing the scene, investigators found a large amount of cash in the vehicle and on the ground near the driver’s door, officials said, adding that the cash appeared consistent with the victim’s report of money taken during the home invasion.
The victim amid the investigation also provided additional information about events preceding the robbery, officials said.

Florida law MAY allow for what the homeowner did, but in most states he would be charged with a felony ESPECIALLY if the homeowner pursed and shot one or more of the intruder after they left his house.
[MSN] FBI agents and Swat teams swarmed a property just two miles from Nancy Guthrie's residence as part of an investigation into the 84-year-old's disappearance.
Three individuals were taken into custody during the operation, with one person reportedly shooting himself, according to local news reports.
The tactical teams descended on the Tucson, Arizona home at approximately 9pm local time on Friday, acting on a tip received by investigators.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department confirmed the FBI's involvement in the joint investigation but declined to release further details at the bureau's request.
Officers directed a man and woman to leave the premises, with both surrendering voluntarily to authorities.
Reports suggest the pair may be a mother and son.
A third individual was apprehended during a separate traffic stop nearby, which investigators confirmed was connected to the main operation.
Authorities have not clarified whether those detained are suspects or persons of interest.

He saw speed, where Keaneau Reeves shot the hostage. He was trying to do that but he didn’t have a hostage, and they were banging down the door. He didn’t want to get shot by SWAT. He’s not good under pressure. Maybe dessert will be vanilla pudding at the hospital and the officer will release one of his cuffs so that he can eat it.

A lot of hoopla and resource being spent on a missing 84 year old. What about the 3000 illegal minors missing in MN?

[PJ] Remember back in 2015 when your bourbon-chugging, conspiracy theorist "Uncle Kevin" stunned the family at Christmas dinner by stating, "A bunch of rich pedos are trying to form a one-world government. They'll take away your steaks, cars, and dogs and blame it on 'climate change.' They'll tell you men are women, and label you a 'bigot' if you refuse to let them control your mind. They'll fill your kids full of SSRIs and tell them to cut off their genitals, and they'll take your children away if you don't play along. They'll replace cash with digital currency and freeze your funds if they don't like your latest tweet. And if you don't stop saying things these lizard people don't condone, they will arrest you.
While all of this is happening, the New World Order will flood the West with third-world Muslim savages who will rape and murder with near impunity. They will live off of your tax dollars while replacing you by simple demographics. Once they outnumber us, We the People will be hunted into genocide. They want this done by 2030. Don't give up your guns, and please pass the ambrosia."

Few intelligent, well thought out notions should be dismissed out of hand. They should be acknowledged and credit given the thinker or seer. Some people are gifted with insight. Some people are consumed no further than the thought of the next meal.

I have a front door with glass in it and half my house’s windows overlook the cul-de-saq, so we have Mark 1 eyeballs on the world whenever someone in the household looks out. In her last months my mother loved sitting at the front bay window, watching the street and speculating about the neighbours — it recalled how she had amused herself the six weeks in her youth in Amsterdam when she’d spent her days hiding from the Nazis in a wide Dutch roof gutter, three stories up, watching the world go by. After that she was taken in by a family on the far side of the country as a nanny-housemaid (which explained why she was there).
Way back in the pre-Internet era when I was in it was always the ultra hot "Canadian" chicks hanging out in the bars in Waikiki. It was really obvious because they always knew ALL the esoteric military jargon and acronyms.
I was a no clearance nobody in the E3/E4 mafia in an...
...E3/E4 mafia in an armor unit. It was fun to play them. I taught a few buddies how to do it to. Dumb guys would claim to be Recon or SEALs. It was funny to watch them get approached, screened, and dropped. I figured out that you just had to mention being in this certain signal unit on base and you were guaranteed to have one hell of a night or weekend for free if you wanted to.

・Donald Trump causes speculation with Stammel speech at coal industry event
・US President's speech at the White House causes stroke speculation
・How sick is Donald Trump? Symptoms that do not suggest anything good
・Decree signed to ensure energy supply to the Ministry of Defense
New footage of the US president is once again fueling rumors about his mental and physical condition. Why? At a coal industry event at the White House last Wednesday, the 79-year-old appeared in public for a short speech. But the speech, which was actually intended to tout "clean, beautiful coal" as America's most reliable and cleanest energy supplier, made negative headlines online due to a completely different fact. The US President just stammered to himself - triggering a lively discussion online.

[Regnum] A huge "smiley face" has formed from active regions on the Sun. The Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences reported this on February 13 on its Telegram channel, along with a photo of the star.
According to scientists, the "smiley's" eyes are active regions, each ten times larger than Earth, and its smile is a giant prominence measuring approximately 500,000 km.
The IKI RAS also noted that this “smiley” is currently looking directly at Earth and appears to be smiling.
The Sun has been exhibiting unusually high solar flare activity recently. On February 1, 17 powerful flares occurred. The following day, at 2:57 AM Moscow time, scientists recorded a very strong X8.11-class flare.

[Regnum] The active Piton de la Fournaise volcano on the French island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean has erupted for the second time this year. France 24 reported this, citing data from the volcano's Volcanological Observatory (OVPF).
The observatory added that the eruption began very quickly. Lava erupted on the southern slope at approximately 10:00 a.m. local time (9:00 a.m. Moscow time), just 35 minutes after the onset of a major seismic event, indicating magma rising to the surface.
The seismic phenomenon does not pose a danger to local residents, as the volcano is located in an uninhabited area.
Located in southeastern Réunion, Piton de la Fournaise is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. It has erupted approximately 20 times over the past 10 years. The last eruption was recorded less than a month ago. The volcano awoke on January 18 after a two-year hiatus, lasting approximately 48 hours.
It is noted that, unlike explosive processes accompanied by ash emissions, lava at Piton de la Fournaise flows calmly down the slopes. Spectacular lava cascades traditionally attract many tourists and locals.

[Regnum] The engine of an Arik Air Boeing 737-700 exploded mid-flight over Nigeria. There were 80 passengers on board at the time, the BBC reported on February 13.
The engine of a Boeing 737 with 80 passengers on board exploded mid-flight.
Passengers heard a loud bang after the plane took off from Lagos, heading for Port Harcourt. The crew activated emergency procedures. The captain decided to make an emergency landing at the nearest airport. The plane landed safely on one engine.
Preliminary reports indicate no one was injured in the incident. Investigators will determine the cause of the engine explosion.

Neither Boeing nor AirBus manufacture jet engines. The buyer of the airplane specifies what engines he wants (usually GE, Pratt & Whitney, or Rolls Royce) and the air craft manufacturer installs it as part of the building process.
In many cases the airline makes the choice based on commonality with their current fleet.
Engines may be bought or leased by the airline, not the manufacturer.

Recap: What we've heard from the security summit today
US AND EUROPE 'BELONG TOGETHER' - RUBIO
"I think the Europeans sighed with relief," the EU's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, said after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's speech.
Rubio said the US and Europe "belong together", but he also hit out at the region's energy and migration policies, was critical of the UN, and said the US doesn't want allies "who are weak".
It comes after US Vice President JD Vance's speech last year, which was critical of Europe's policy direction. But our security correspondent Frank Gardner writes that the overriding message from Rubio's remarks is that the US still wants to be an ally of Europe.
UK TO DEPLOY WARSHIPS TO THE ARCTIC
Keir Starmer announced that the UK will send a fleet of warships and fighter jets to the Arctic in 2026, as Nato allies bolster defences in the region.
He also called for "deeper links" with the EU, arguing that moving closer to the single market in certain areas would bolster security.
ZELENSKY SAYS US TOO FOCUSED ON UKRAINIAN CONCESSIONS
…instead of giving Ukraine endless money and fighty toys
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky called for Europe to have a "common defence policy", saying European unity is the "best interceptor against Russia's aggressive plans".
Speaking about ongoing talks aimed at ending the conflict, Zelensky said that too often when the US discusses the need for concessions, it is in the context of Ukraine and not Russia.
TRUMP STILL 'VERY SERIOUS' ABOUT GREENLAND
Danish PM Mette Frederiksen, when asked if the Greenland crisis had passed, said she doesn't believe so, adding Trump is "very serious" about acquiring the island territory.
"I think the desire from the US president is exactly the same. He’s very serious about this," she said.
[ZH] Has Europe really embarked on a nuclear reset, rethinking its US-led deterrent architecture? For the first time since the Cold War, major European capitals are openly debating the need for an independent nuclear deterrent - an emerging theme on clear display this week at the Munich Security Conference. A Conference SO important that Gov. Brylcream, AOC, and Gov. Lockdown Whitmer are attending
We've reported before that the turning point came in March, when Washington temporarily halted battlefield intelligence sharing with Ukraine - a move that forced allies to confront the prospect that Washington may no longer serve as a dependable security guarantor, also as ratcheting Trump rhetoric increasingly highlights Europe needing to shoulder its own defense burden.
France's Macron and Germany's Merz held "confidential talks" on European nuclear deterrence, the German chancellor has confirmed. Still, he tried to downplay the full implications in his Friday remarks: "We Germans are adhering to our legal obligations. We consider this strictly within the context of our nuclear sharing within NATO and we will not allow zones of differing security to emerge in Europe," Merz said....
Macron's remarks before the Munich audience were tinged with implicit (negative) references to the US administration: "We need a much more positive mindset. There has been a tendency in this place and beyond to overlook Europe and sometimes to criticise it outright," he stated.
"Caricatures have been made, Europe has been vilified as an aging, slow, fragmented construct sidelined by history. As an overregulated economy that shuts innovation, as a society preyed by migration that would corruption its precious traditions." [well, yeah]
"And most curiously yet, in some quarters, as a repressive continent," [well, yeah x2]
he added. "Everyone should take a cue from us, instead of trying to divide us."
Major unrest is inevitable because “we don’t really live in a democracy” and political decisions are being made to “appease” and to avoid lesser unrest today rather than fend off greater trouble in the future, Colonel Richard Kemp has said.
This is the Hindenburg crashing into the Titanic at Chernobyl. 😱

After struggling for some very awkward moments, AOC finally came up with the correct answer. She obviously had trouble remembering it but she finally did. Maybe she's not ready to run for President but she's learning, probably faster than Kamala Harris ever could. Don't laugh too hard. She is dangerous.

[Townhall] Senate Republicans have secured the needed votes to pass the SAVE Act after Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) confirmed that she would sign on as a co-sponsor of the bill late Friday afternoon.
With that, Republicans have reached 50 votes, with Vice President JD Vance serving as the tie-breaking 51st vote for the bill to pass. The ordeal is not yet over, however. Republican leadership would still need to bring the bill forward, voting Democrats to utilize a "standing" filibuster rather than the more typical "silent" filibuster used when a measure has less than the 60 votes needed to invoke cloture.
Conservative Republicans have strongly advocated for leadership to pursue this path, as they see it being the only way forward for advancing President Trump’s agenda with Democrats being unwilling to be reasonable in negotiations.

If it makes it out of the Senate and once it's signed, the court cases start.
If the SAVE law stands, it's likely the current version of the Democratic Part will become a minority part for the foreseeable future absent major changes on their part.
[ABC] President Donald Trump said Friday there will be voter ID requirements for the midterm elections "whether approved by Congress or not," vowing to issue an executive order if legislation fails.
"This is an issue that must be fought, and must be fought, NOW! If we can't get it through Congress, there are Legal reasons why this SCAM is not permitted. I will be presenting them shortly, in the form of an Executive Order," Trump said in a post on his social media platform.
In an earlier social media post, Trump claimed without evidence that Democrats are not in favor of voter ID laws because they "want to continue to cheat in Elections."
