Man blames the devil after crashing his car into North Carolina airport terminal

A man has been arrested after he crashed his car inside the terminal at North Carolina’s Wilmington International Airport, WRAL News reported. Driver Tray Anthony Dvorak, 37, told police, “The Devil made me do it. ” Police responded to reports that a car breached the airport’s fence and drove onto the tarmac.

When confronted by police, the driver crashed through the doors and windows of a terminal and ended up inside of it. “It’s a recommended security procedure to put bollards in front of the doors,” Jeff Price, Professor of Aviation at the Metropolitan State University of Denver, said. “Some airports have them.

Some airports don’t. ” “That’s really the last line before you get out to accessing the aircraft, at least from the interior of the facility. In this case, oddly enough, he had access to the aircraft from the outside when he drove through the perimeter fence,” said Price.

Dvorak was charged with assault, trespassing on airport property, speeding to elude arrest, disorderly conduct and resisting a government official. Watch the video or at this link. NC: Man drives car through Wilmington airport entrance www.

Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for not being ready for primetime as he prepares for a potential presidential run. DeSantis recently had supporters of Donald Trump’s thrown out of an event, which isn’t likely to grow his audience. DeSantis is also at war with Disney , claiming that people are “sexualizing children.

” Meanwhile, Reid brought up the recent child labor laws in Arkansas being withdrawn so that children can be forced back into the mines or to work in meat packing plants for cheap labor. The law was signed with Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) surrounded by children with big smiles.

“The game in politics is supposed to be to win,” Reid explained. “But even someone like Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) , this is somebody who comes from, like, hyper-capitalist background.

You have Joe Biden sitting on 300,000+ jobs created in the last month, sitting on an economy that is growing, 3. 6% unemployment, another really good economic report for him this year, but now people on Fox saying, you know what, we may not get the recession that they were hoping for. So, he is sitting on an economy that is growing.

He is pumping money into rural red areas to try to lure away some white working-class and brown, and black and, Asian American working-class voters all over the country. And the answer that Republican politicians that are running for president seem to have is, attacking trans people, which younger voters under 30 means that you’re going to lose them in a landslide. Younger voters are not playing that game.

If your game is to attack trans people, what voters under 30 are you getting? You’re going to lose even young white voters under 30 that way. ” Republican strategist Susan del Percio agreed, saying that DeSantis isn’t bringing anyone into his coalition, rather, he’s pushing people away. “They’re gonna come crashing down on his head because right now, you’re absolutely right, Joe Biden, you may not even like all of his policies, but he is delivering for the American public.

These guys are just trying to divide the American public,” said del Percio. “One would think, in a country with an epidemic of gun violence, and child labor happening, we just found out that the governor of Arkansas signed a bill to make that easier for companies in her state, and they’ve been busted already — in meat packing companies, she signed a bill to make that easier,” said Reid. “I struggle to understand why people vote like this.

Like they do in these red states. But when you take that show on the road, the rest of the country is horrified. ” Political strategists agreed, saying that they’re not growing the electorate that way.

“Yup, it’s the Fox News strategy,” said Reid. “Just keep ’em there. But it’s the same people.

You need more people. It’s supposed to be addition. ” See the discussion below or at the link here.

‘It’s supposed to be addition’: MSNBC panel warns Republicans they need more voters to win www. youtube. com CONTINUE READING Show less An activist protesting Georgia’s planned “Cop City” had his hands raised when he was fatally shot by state troopers earlier this year, according to an independent autopsy commissioned by the family, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Manuel Esteban Paez Terán, 26, was shot 13 times Jan.

18 on the site of a planned police training center, according to an independent autopsy, the outlet previously reported. Civil rights attorneys Brian Spears and Jeff Filipovits have scheduled a news conference for Monday morning in which they’re expected to address the autopsy report’s findings, and a lawsuit Terán’s family filed earlier this week against the City of Atlanta, the report said. Terán’s family filed the lawsuit after the Georgia Bureau of Investigation blocked the release of the video evidence city officials had pledged to deliver, the report said.

“The GBI’s interference left the family with no choice but to file a lawsuit against the City of Atlanta,” the Terán family’s attorneys said in a statement obtained by the AJC. “Both Manuel’s left and right hands show exit wounds in both palms,” the statement said. “The autopsy further reveals that Manuel was most probably in a seated position, cross-legged when killed.

” Georgia state troopers at the time of the shooting had been conducting a “clearing operation” near the training center site when they encountered Terán and other protesters camping in the woods, the report said. The GBI said Terán fired first, wounding a trooper, before authorities opened fire on the environmental activist. A GBI probe tied the bullet that struck the trooper to a gun found at the scene to a firearm Terán purchased in Sept.

2020. There is no known video of the incident, according to the report, which notes that Georgia state troopers typically don’t wear body cameras. Atlanta police on Feb.

8 released body camera video of officers reacting to the shooting. “During its investigation, the GBI has selectively released information framing its narrative while actively preventing Manuel’s family from obtaining any information,” family attorney Jeff Filipovits told the AJC. “The GBI will not even tell us what type of evidence it has.

Now, it says that the City of Atlanta cannot release the public records sought by Manuel’s family. ” The GBI in a Feb. 9 statement said was committed to “a full, complete, and accurate investigation,” and wouldn’t traffic in “speculation,” the report said.

ALSO IN THE NEWS: The View’s audience bursts out laughing as Trump’s words come back to haunt him CONTINUE READING Show less Lauren “Bam Bam” Boebert announced at CPAC: “We are going to investigate Hunter Biden because he has used his father’s positions in government for shady business dealings with Ukraine and China. We no longer need a resident in the White House. We need a president who puts America first and not his business dealings with corrupt foreign countries.

” You’d think such a statement by a Trump supporter would be met with shocked silence, but the crowd went wild with applause. And there is, of course, some legitimacy to the sentiment. After President John F.

Kennedy appointed his brother as Attorney General, Republicans freaked out and passed an anti-nepotism law against presidents hiring family members. When Donald Trump put Jared Kushner into the White House (even after he failed a security clearance), his Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel ruled, essentially, that Trump could ignore the law. Saudi Arabia was then run by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef (MBN), the grandson of the nation’s founder, King Abdulaziz; MBN’s father, Nayef bin Abdulaziz, had run the country before him.

Like his father and grandfather, MBN was tight with US intelligence agencies and committed to a stable long-term relationship with the United States and Europe. He also kept oil prices stable to help the United States in Europe. Mohammed bin Nayef (MBN), then pushing his 60s, was arguably the most pro-US figure in Saudi leadership.

Back in the 1980s he’d studied at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, then at the FBI in Quantico, followed by participating in a 1990s “anti-terrorism” program at Scotland Yard. After 9/11, he took on Al-Qaeda and they tried to assassinate him. When Trump came into office in 2017, MBN’s cousin, Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) was merely one of many young Saudi princes (he was 32) jockeying for position and power in the kingdom (MBN was then 58).

At the time Trump appointed Kushner (then 36) in 2017, US intelligence and the State Department were concerned that if MBS were to overthrow MBN the consequences could be unpredictable for the United States. Kushner, with his new security clearance in hand, would have had access to that information. Things were then getting wild in the kingdom.

MBS wanted to overthrow MBN, and, according to some extraordinary reporting from Vicki Ward (who’s Substack newsletter is worth subscribing to), Jared saw an opportunity to go around US interests and help MBS overthrow and imprison his cousin so MBS could seize control of the Kingdom and its more than $700 billion in cash: “Four well-placed sources,” she reports , “say that the primary reason Kushner has now received $2 billion is that he helped MBS depose MBN, knowing that this went directly against what U. S. intelligence wanted or thought was good for national security.

” Suddenly, the news was full of stories about members of the Saudi royal family who were being held by security forces in fancy hotels, some being tortured and a few even “vanished. ” Immediately after Kushner met in secret with Prince Mohammad bin Salman (MBS), America’s ally and the ruler of Saudi Arabia, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef (MBN), was arrested and thrown into prison where he remains to this day. As a result, Jared’s buddy MBS now runs the kingdom and controls its money.

David Ignatius of the Washington Post noted a few weeks after MBS began arresting his royal political foes, apparently using information from inside US intelligence agencies: “It was probably no accident that last month, Jared Kushner, Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law, made a personal visit to Riyadh. The two princes are said to have stayed up until nearly 4 a. m.

several nights, swapping stories and planning strategy. ” Did Jared sell out American interests for $2 billion? And is his father-in-law, Donald Trump, now following up on the deal with the money being laundered through the LIV golf tournaments? — It was with MBS that President Trump negotiated a 2. 2 million-barrels-a-day production cut in 2020, when the pandemic had crashed demand for oil: that cut raised the price of oil and bailed out Trump’s Texas oilman supporters.

— It was MBS who reportedly said he had Jared “in his pocket. ” — It was MBS who reportedly had Washington Post writer Jamal Khashoggi murdered and dismembered by an assassination squad when visiting a Saudi embassy to get a visa to marry his fiancé. — And, the New York Times notes, it was Jared who was there for MBS when he needed a friend on the inside: “As the killing set off a firestorm around the world and American intelligence agencies concluded that it was ordered by Prince Mohammed [MBS], Mr.

Kushner became the prince’s most important defender inside the White House…” — It’s MBS who The Wall Street Journal reports is now moving his country “closer” to Russia and China to “punish” President Joe Biden for defeating Trump. — It’s also MBS who’s given Donald Trump tens of millions — perhaps hundreds of millions — to host the LIV golf tournaments at his shabby properties (the tournament has a reported $2 billion budget). Have we all been witnessing a young con-man and his grifter father-in-law walk away with billions after selling out the United States? With virtually no questions from the mainstream media or Congress? The son of a professional con-artist (Charles Kushner, who was pardoned by Trump) and a minor slumlord , Jared is said to have gotten advice from a PR professional when his father went to prison.

Ben Walsh noted for Huffington Post that Jared’s dad tells the story that his PR friend advised Jared: “Step one: Buy a New York newspaper. Don’t be too particular…. Any newspaper will do.

Step two: Buy a big Manhattan building. Any building will do. Step three: Marry the daughter of a rich New York family.

Anyone will do. ” Jared, the story goes, then purchased the New York Observer newspaper, overpaid for the 666 Fifth Avenue office building just down the street from Trump Tower, and, now impressively credentialed as a Serious Guy, hooked up with Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka. From there it was a straight shot to the White House and then cashing in with $2 billion from Saudi Arabia, authorized by MBS, who had to override his investment advisors to hand the cash to Jared.

Which is a crime far more massive and serious than anything Hunter Biden has ever been accused of. Our Constitution contains two emoluments clauses, both forbidding officials from taking gifts from foreign governments. The most well-known one (in Article II) forbids presidents from taking what could be bribes; the second, from Article I of the Constitution, forbids such behavior by anybody working in the federal government without the explicit permission of Congress: “[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States], shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

” As the Congressional Research Service (CRS) notes: “The purpose of the Foreign Emoluments Clause is to prevent corruption and limit foreign influence on federal officers. The Clause grew out of the Framers’ experience with the European custom of gift-giving to foreign diplomats, which the Articles of Confederation prohibited. Following that precedent, the Foreign Emoluments Clause prohibits federal officers from accepting foreign emoluments without congressional consent.

” When Trump was running for president, he reportedly told Fox News viewers in February 2016: “Who blew up the World Trade Center? It wasn’t the Iraqis, it was Saudi—take a look at Saudi Arabia, open the documents. ” But when the Saudis started shoveling money his way, suddenly his tune changed. As The Jerusalem Post reported on March 23, 2018: “Kushner, who is the son-in-law of President Donald Trump, and the crown prince had a late October meeting in Riyadh.

“A week later, Mohammed began what he called an ‘anti-corruption crackdown. ’ The Saudi government arrested and jailed dozens of members of the Saudi royal family in a Riyadh hotel – among them Saudi figures named in a daily classified brief read by the president and his closest advisers that Kushner read avidly…. “According to the report, Mohammed told confidants that he and Kushner discussed Saudis identified in the classified brief as disloyal to Mohammed.

” The day before, CBS and The Intercept quoted MBS as gloating that Kushner was “in his pocket. ” The Washington Post noted that: “Recently ousted Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and national security adviser H. R.

McMaster expressed early concern that Kushner was freelancing U. S. foreign policy and might make naive mistakes, according to ­people familiar with their ­reactions.

“… [National Security Advisor] McMaster was concerned there were no official records kept of what was said on the calls. “Tillerson was even more aggrieved, they said, once remarking to staff: ‘Who is secretary of state here?’” In January of 2021, as he was leaving office, Trump stole and moved to Florida information that, multiple sources assert , would reveal the identities of many of our spies, as well as our nuclear plans and capabilities. Information literally worth billions of dollars.

Three months later, in March of 2021, Jared Kushner filed papers showing that his brand new investment company — against the advice of the Saudi government but at MBS’s order — had received over $2 billion from the Kingdom. It’s still unknown if or how much money the Kingdom gave to Trump himself, presumably through the dark offshore accounts common among billionaires like Trump or through the golf tournament front. This was not the first time Kushner had apparently altered US foreign policy or shared valuable US secrets with Middle East players in exchange for large quantities of cash that flowed directly to him or other members of the Trump family.

As investigative reporter Vicky Ward noted: Kushner was struggling with the “ticking time bomb of a $1. 8 billion mortgage on 666 Fifth Avenue that would come due in February of 2019—a debt no domestic buyer was interested in. Not even the Chinese or Qataris wanted it.

… Kushner desperately needed a bail-out for his troubled building…and the clock was ticking. “Then, in the spring of 2018, two things happened within weeks. First, the U.

S. withdrew their support of the blockade of Qatar, leading the Saudis and Emiratis to lift it. “Then, Brookfield, a Canadian real estate investment trust whose largest outside shareholder is the Qatari government, bailed out the Kushners in a deal that has real estate moguls rolling their eyes to this day: A 99-year lease paid upfront on a building that was bleeding money.

” Which brings us back, again, to 2021, just after Trump’s failed January 6th attempt to overthrow the US government. About six months after the Saudis gave Kushner that second batch of billions, we learned that for several months “dozens” of American spies and agents had been “captured or killed” around the world. As The Washington Post reported on October 5, 2021: “Top American counterintelligence officials warned every C.

I. A. station and base around the world last week about troubling numbers of informants recruited from other countries to spy for the United States being captured or killed, people familiar with the matter said.

” History will hopefully tell us if Jared Kushner and Donald Trump sold out their country and damaged prospects for peace in the world by helping MBS rise to power and then pushing Saudi Arabia toward Russia, just to get their hands on a few billion dollars. But that history is being written today, and if there was ever a scandal more worthy of an FBI and congressional investigation than Hunter Biden, this is it.
