[FoxNews] Authorities on May 5 arrested a 17-year-old male accused of murdering a 61-year-old woman who was found dead on April 21.
Local outlet Las Vegas Review-Journal identified the suspect as Dennis Geiggar, a high school student with a reported history of behavioral issues and anger-related incidents. A known jackal.
He is accused of killing 61-year-old Marceline Biasini, who the Review-Journal reported regularly slept in the area where she was found dead.
The victim was found lying on the sidewalk outside a business and "suffering from apparent injuries" just after 8 a.m. on April 21, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) told Fox News Digital.

[FoxNews] Carnivores from far and wide descended recently on Gatlinburg, Tennessee, to partake in Meatstock, a convention for followers of meat-based diets.
The weekend gathering featured presentations from experts, panel discussions and vendors centered on carnivore and keto diets — as well as biohacking.
In the wake of the convention, Texas biochemist and author Nathan Bryan, who presented at Meatstock, told Fox News Digital, "Americans are the sickest people on the planet."
"Nine out of 10 Americans are metabolically unfit, two out of three Americans have an unsafe elevation of blood pressure and nearly half of the people in America are diabetic or pre-diabetic," he added. "That can be attributed to the foods we eat."
Bryan said he was extremely compelled by stories from Meatstock attendees, who talked about how much weight they lost and autoimmune diseases they cured by switching to a meat-based diet.
[FoxNews] The trespasser was identified as 41-year-old Michael Mott, who was seen on video loitering near a runway at Denver International Airport before suddenly stepping in front of a Frontier Airlines jet during its takeoff roll.
Airport officials said they were not aware that Mott had entered the restricted area after scaling an 8-foot perimeter fence topped with barbed wire. He was ultimately pulled into the aircraft’s engine, which subsequently triggered a fire.
The medical examiner determined the cause of death to be multiple blunt and sharp-force injuries. Like a carrot in a blender.
[DM] The Nevada National Security Site [NNSS], a 680-mile stretch of desert used during the Cold War for nuclear tests and became synonymous with fear through chilling public broadcasts, canceled its tours in a statement.
'Due to funding uncertainty, public tours of the Nevada National Security Site have been canceled through 2026,' reads its website.
'Going forward, public tours will be evaluated dependent on the budget situation at that time.'
The tours, which could accommodate up to 50 guests at a time, covered 250 miles after departing from the Atomic Museum. At it's peak, the tours attracted over 10,000 visitors a year.
Patrons were shown sites such as Mercury, a base camp 65 miles northwest of Las Vegas that served as living quarters for civilian and military test personnel.
The mini town featured its own Olympic-size swimming pool and a popular bowling alley frequented by residents.
Mercury was considered the gateway to NNSS and was bustling with life for over 40 years, from 1951 to 1992.
[FoxNews] A closer look at how ID.me works, what data it collects and how scammers exploit it
More people are running into ID.me when trying to access government services, and it can raise questions right away. Dave from Richardson, TX, recently emailed us after seeing it required across several federal sites.
"US gov't. sites asking to use ID.me for logon verification. VA.gov, SSA.gov and Medicare.gov, for example. Is ID.me safe to use?"
It is a fair question, especially when you are being asked to hand over sensitive personal information. Here is what you need to know before you decide to use it.
WHAT ID.ME ACTUALLY IS
ID.me is a private identity verification company. It helps confirm that you are really you before letting you access certain services.
You will see it on sites tied to agencies like the Social Security Administration and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Instead of each agency verifying your identity separately, ID.me acts as a middle layer. Once you verify your identity, you can use that login across multiple services.
3 THINGS YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT BEFORE USING IT
This is where you need to pay attention.
1) It isn’t a government agency
Even though you see it on government websites, ID.me is a private company. That matters because your data is being handled by a third party.
2) You may need to upload sensitive information
Depending on the service, you might be asked for:
A driver's license or passport
Your Social Security number
A selfie or video for facial verification
That is a lot of personal data in one place.
3) Privacy concerns do exist
Some experts have raised concerns about:
Facial recognition technology
Centralized storage of identity data
How long is the data kept
ID.me says it protects this information, but it is still worth being aware of the tradeoff.
ID.ME VS LOGIN.GOV: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
You may also see Login.gov as an option on some sites.
Here is the key difference:
ID.me may require biometric verification, like a selfie
Login.gov is run by the government and often avoids facial recognition
Both are secure. The choice often comes down to convenience versus how much personal data you are comfortable sharing.
WHY SCAMMERS LOVE USING ID.ME AS BAIT
Here is the part most people do not expect. ID.me itself isn’t a scam. The problem is that scammers know people trust it. That makes it a perfect disguise.
COMMON ID.ME-RELATED SCAMS TO WATCH FOR
Because ID.me is widely trusted, it has become a target for scammers trying to fool you. Scammers rely on urgency, fear and trust to get you to act quickly without thinking.
All the details can be seen at the link.
KURT'S KEY TAKEAWAYS
ID.me is a legitimate and secure tool used across the U.S. government. For most people, it is safe to use and is often required to access important services. At the same time, it asks for more personal data than many people expect. That makes it worth approaching with awareness instead of blind trust. The bigger risk usually comes from scammers pretending to be ID.me, not the platform itself. If you stay alert, use strong security settings and go directly to official websites, you can use it without putting yourself at unnecessary risk.

When given the 'opportunity' to choose, I looked into both and chose LOGIN.GOV.
Given likely incompetence vs. likely malfeasance, it was a given. A hell of a choice.
Also, some government websites only list ID.me. Payoffs anyone?

/\ Yes, I am paranoid, but never enough it seems. It's kind of like the MSM, being only mortal, you can't hate them enough.

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they are not out to get you.
[PJMedia] The BBC reported early Tuesday that the Trump administration is "holding regular negotiations with Denmark to expand its military presence in Greenland," according to "the usual sources familiar with the discussions." While a far cry from Trump's opening position of making the Danes turn over Greenland and recognizing it as an American possession — the "easy way" or "the hard way," as Trump put it — the discussions reportedly include more than just a handful of new military bases.
One source told the Beeb that administration officials "floated an arrangement in which the three new military bases would be formally designated as U.S. sovereign territory."
That's the twist.
Greenland's prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, speaking at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit on Tuesday, said the talks had taken "some steps in the right direction" and noted a shift toward "talking respectfully to each other."
Or as the BBC put it, "Despite Trump's threats, the countries have been actively working towards a deal in recent months."
Translation: Trump rolled in like the boulder at the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark, and now Secretary of State Marco Rubio ...The diminutive 13-year-old Republican U.S. Senator from Florida, Secretary of State in the second Trump administration... 's team, like rival archeologist Belloq, is ready to swoop in and collect the prize with much less fuss.
I can't believe that people still get their feathers all ruffled by the well-rehearsed good-cop/bad-cop routine, yet here we are. Again.
And Another Thing: I wrote about Greenland back in January for our VIP supporters, and if you didn't already know about the strange story of Camp Century, you'd hardly believe it. But understand before going any further in today's column exactly what we got away with in Greenland without first demanding full illusory sovereignty: a secret nuclear-powered city buried beneath the Greenland ice cap, built to test a vast hidden missile network aimed at the Soviet Union. It didn't work out, but the thing is, we actually let the Army try to build a fricken Doctor Evil missile base in someone else's country without telling them.
Like that hasn't happened before.
The U.S. currently operates just one installation in Greenland, Pituffik Space Base (gesundheit), down from 17 military bases we operated during the Cold War. Greenland remains as strategically vital as ever. Renewed Cold War rivalries with Russia and China mean renewed tensions over Arctic resources and the Greenland-Iceland-U.K. (GIUK) Gap that controls Russia's access to the Atlantic.
Plus, there's this tasty little item by Carl Popal for RealClear World, concerning rare earths, "the 17 elements that make electric vehicles run, wind turbines spin, fighter-jet guidance systems lock onto their targets, and smartphones come to life."

[Rusvesna] Austria used fighter jets to drive away US aircraft that had intruded into its airspace, Die Welt writes.
How very interesting of them.
According to the publication, Austrian authorities were forced to scramble Eurofighter jets twice in two days after American reconnaissance aircraft unauthorizedly entered the country's airspace.
The publication clarifies that the aircraft in question were PC12/U-28A reconnaissance aircraft used by American special operations forces, which turned around and left the airspace after the Austrian fighters approached.

How many centuries of Euro-conflict must we study before the decision is finally made to distance ourselves from them? Distancing, it's not a new concept.
[NYP] A University of California, Berkeley-linked teacher training program funded with taxpayer dollars is under fire after a watchdog group claimed it promotes activist-oriented ethnic studies that cast controversial revolutionary figures as heroes.
Defending Education released a report Monday examining UC Berkeley’s high school ethnic studies training initiatives, including a 2024 session titled "Teaching Histories of Anti-Imperialistic Solidarity."
The group alleges the program encourages educators to present figures such as Fidel Castro, Che Guevara and the Black Panther Party in a positive light tied to race, power and political struggles.
Rhyen Staley, the organization’s director of research, said the training blurs the line between education and activism.
"It’s not just talking about individuals like Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, groups like Black Panther Party, but it is promoting them as heroes of a far-left socialist movement," Staley told The Center Square. "That’s really the issue with ethnic studies on the whole... it is a far-left political programming meant to train young children to become street activists."
The report also highlights references to the Venceremos Brigade, an organization that arranges trips to Cuba and is described as a fiscal project of The People’s Forum.
Berkeley has been this way for 60+ years. It lost sight of its original intentions, probably due to California's decision in the early 50's to make each state campus 'semi-autonomous' and not under the general control of the state system.
Founded in 1868 as a 'public agricultural, mining, and mechanical arts college'. Their initial goal was that the "University shall have for its design, to provide instruction and thorough and complete education in all departments of science, literature and art, industrial and professional pursuits, and general education, and also special courses of instruction in preparation for the professions."
Of course now, political agitation is considered a 'profession' that generally will make more money than those lowly nuclear or aerospace science or engineering grads.

#1 Was that way in 1968 when I blundered into Berkley. "Peoples' Park" was the big thing; only the University Admin was the "bad guy" instead of a co-conspirator.

I see no reason to provide federal funding to Berkeley. Make the CCP fund it themselves.

Besoeker has a gift for finding the most wonderfully appropriate images, Unoluper Creng1217 — I have no idea how he does it. I just use the Rantburg image collection that Fred accumulated over the years.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
