Royal Marines commandos 'dominated' US troops and forced them into a humiliating surrender just days into a mass training exercise in the Mojave desert, it has been revealed today. 

Combatants used training ammunition, which fires with reduced pressure and velocity, along with hi-tech simulators for heavier firepower like artillery, and live ammo on expansive ranges

British forces took part in a five-day mock battle at the US Marine Corps' Twentynine Palms base in southern California, one of the largest military training areas in the world, and achieved a decisive victory against their American counterparts.

The Royal Marines, along with allied forces from Canada, the Netherlands and the UAE, destroyed or rendered inoperable nearly every US asset and finished the exercise holding more than 65 per cent of the training area, after beginning with less than 20 per cent.

The Marines' 'kill board', which assesses damage done to enemy assets, had a tick against nearly all American assets at one point, meaning it had been rendered inoperable or destroyed

Combatants used paintball-style training ammunition, which fires with reduced pressure and velocity, along with hi-tech simulators for heavier firepower like artillery, and live ammo on expansive ranges. 

Seeing no opportunity for victory, American combatants asked for the exercise to be 'reset' halfway through the five-day exercise, having taken significant casualties from British commandos.   

 

 

Kyle Rittenhouse trial resumes with testimony from Kenosha livestreamer

By Edward Era Barbacena

Kyle Rittenhouse stood out even in the chaos of the Kenosha protests as an “interesting figure” before he fatally shot two men and injured another, a man who livestreamed the unrest in Wisconsin testified Wednesday.

Koerri Washington, who filmed a video of the aspiring police officer running with a fire extinguisher on the evening of the Aug. 25, 2020, shootings, took the stand as Rittenhouse’s homicide trial entered the second day of testimony.

“I took a mental note of people that kind of stood out — like people that were acting erratic,” the self-described social media influencer told the court.

Washington said he noticed the then-17-year-old earlier in the evening and thought he seemed like an “interesting figure,” explaining that he appeared young and had been chain-smoking.

When the teen ran by him later that evening, he followed Rittenhouse with his camera.

“When he ran by, I went in my Rolodex in my head like, ‘Oh, I remember this guy from before. Is anyone chasing him or anything? No, maybe there’s something happening,'” Washington said, adding that he was “not necessarily focusing on him per se” but possibly a situation in that direction.

Prosecutors showed video from shortly after that captured the sound of gunshots, including those that killed Joseph Rosenbaum, the first man killed that night.

In his testimony, Washington said Rosenbaum had also stood out to him that night as one of the people acting “erratic.”

Rittenhouse’s lawyers have argued that the teen shot Rosenbaum in self-defense and then opened fire on two other men, Anthony Huber, 26, and Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, as a crowd closed in on him in the streets.

Prosecutors, however, have painted Rittenhouse as a vigilante who traveled from his home in Antioch, Illinois, to seek out conflict during protests over the police shooting of a black man, Jacob Blake, who was left paralyzed from the waist down.

In his opening statement Tuesday, Kenosha County Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger stressed that out of the “hundreds of people, only one person killed anybody that night, only one person shot anyone that night.”

Rittenhouse, now 18, faces six criminal charges, including intentional homicide and attempted homicide.

If convicted of the top charge, he would face a mandatory sentence of life in prison.

 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene racks up $48,000 in fines for not wearing mask on House floor

Greene has been fined 20 times for failing to wear a face covering, according to her office. 

By Edward Era Barbacena

U.S. rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has been fined at least $48,000 since May for not wearing a mask on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.    

The fine was outlined in a letter from the House Sergeant at Arms to Greene that was obtained by USA TODAY. The letter states that the Republican lawmaker was warned in May about wearing a mask, and she was asked to wear a face-covering on multiple dates in May, July, August, September and October.  

Greene has been fined 20 times for failing to wear a face covering, according to her office. 

She was fined $500 for her first offense and $2,500 for each additional incident. The fines come from the lawmaker’s congressional salary, according to multiple reports.  

The House Sergeant at Arms letter was first reported by The Hill.  

In a statement to USA TODAY, Greene said she will “continue my stand on the House floor against authoritarian Democrat mandates, because I don’t want the American people to stand alone.” She compared Democratic lawmakers to “tyrannical dictators with mandates and lockdowns” amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.  

Last month, Greene tweeted she had racked up over $25,000 in mask fines. She said at the time that she refused “to wear a mask in the chamber where over 80% of Congress is vaccinated and I’m NOT sick.”  

The House Ethics Committee confirmed on Monday that Greene was disciplined four times in late September for not wearing a mask. The committee has previously confirmed three other occasions in which Greene was fined over the mask rule.  

NBC News reported that some of the dates in the sergeant at arms' letter do not align with information confirmed by the House Ethics Committee.   

The Senate does not require masks for lawmakers.  

As the coronavirus pandemic continues, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends everyone 2 years of age and older who is not fully vaccinated should wear a mask in indoor public places. People who are fully vaccinated should wear a mask indoors if they are in an area of substantial or high transmission, while immunocompromised individuals should continue to take precautions recommended for unvaccinated people.

White man arrested for beating a black cyclist after accusing him making neighborhood nervous because he was riding his bike around the community 

Black victim claims violent beating by paranoid white man was racially motivated, authorities investigating 

By Edward Era Barbacena

 

SEABROOK – Stitches surrounded Elliott Reed’s bloodshot left eye as he detailed his injuries from the morning he thought he would never be able to see again.

Eliot suffers stitches and bruises after being
assaulted by white man Collin Fries after accusing
him of making the neighborhood nervous for just
riding his bike.

“It’s a stitch here, stitch here,” Reed said while pointing throughout his face and recounted the moments leading up to when he said a neighbor assaulted him.

Collin Fries, 25, has been charged with misdemeanor assault. He is accused of beating Reed on Friday, Oct. 29 while at the intersection of Lakeside Drive and Hampton Strings Drive in Seabrook.

Although Reed’s injuries serve as evidence of what happened, they don’t confirm why the attack occurred.

Reed said he was riding his bike, something he does daily to control his diabetes, when he stopped for a break at a street corner a few blocks from his home of three years.

Reed said Fries approached the stop sign at the intersection before confronting him from his car.

“He said, ‘You need to get off of this corner because you’re making everybody nervous,’” Reed said.

Reed said he started recording on his phone and after that, Fries exited his vehicle and started walking towards him.

“I asked him, ‘Are you the law, sir? What’s going on?’ He said, ‘You’re just making people nervous,’” Reed said.

Reed said Fries then called him the n-word before telling him he needed to get away from the neighborhood.

Reed’s cell phone video shows part of the confrontation leading up to the attack. In the video, you can hear Reed asking the man in the video why he was approaching him. The video ends when Reed said he fell over his bicycle after Fries rushed him.

“The last thing I remember is hitting my head and I went out,” Reed said.

Neighbors who witnessed the attack called Seabrook police.

Reed said first responders rushed him to UTMB Health - Clear Lake Campus before transferring him to the hospital’s main location in Galveston due to his eye injury.

Reed’s wife, Angie, said police arrived at her door with her husband’s bicycle following the attack.

“When I walked in the hospital and seen him, I started crying and the nurses started crying,” Angie Reed said, adding her husband likely will need surgery to repair damage to his left eye – an attack she said could have claimed her husband’s life.

“It was the witnesses who told the police that he was hit about 12 times after he was already unconscious,” she said.

While Fries has been charged with misdemeanor assault, the Reed’s would like for charges to be upgraded to a felony, at least.

The family said they did not know Fries before the attack, and believe there’s only one reason why he attacked Reed and that’s because he’s Black.

“I don’t feel safe in my own neighborhood where I pay taxes and am a law-abiding citizen of Seabrook,” Elliott said.

Seabrook police chief Sean Wright told KPRC2 the incident didn’t appear to be a hate crime, citing previous “conflict” between neighbors, despite the Reed’s claim that they had not met Fries.

Deer identified as widespread carrier of coronavirus in the United States

By Edward Era Barbacena

Yet another study of white-tailed deer suggests that the North American population is harboring widespread coronavirus infection.

As much as 80% of the 445,000-strong Iowa deer population may carry the disease, according to a new study, The Times reported on Tuesday.

That rate of infection was said to be “effectively 50 times” more pervasive in deer than Iowa’s human population.

The pre-print report, now awaiting review from scientific peers prior to publication, showed that deer may have picked up the virus from humans sometime during the testing period, between April 2020 and January 2021, though Penn State researchers are not clear as to how cross-transmission could have occurred.

Their samples were derived from both roadkill and deer felled by hunters. An analysis of their lymph nodes reflected a genomic sequencing that hinted the virus had first traveled through humans before infecting the deer.

Conversely, there is yet no evidence to suggest that humans have contracted the virus from deer.

However, the prevalence of coronavirus among animals may hamper efforts to eradicate the disease from nature — meaning that the elimination of COVID-19 in humans wouldn’t necessarily be enough to prevent another outbreak.

Researchers and Iowa wildlife officials are sounding the alarm, particularly for deer hunters and other animal handlers, warning them to take extreme precautions with the animal in nature.

A survey by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service released in August indicated a high level of antibodies in deer throughout a number of states, including Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan and New York — confirming they had been exposed to the virus at some point. The new report, however, confirms infection.

“It was effectively showing up in all parts of the state,” said Penn State research Dr. Suresh Kuchipudi. “We were dumbfounded.”

A spokesperson for the National Veterinary Services Laboratories verified the results of the new study to The Times.

It comes as no surprise that deer are susceptible to coronavirus as many other animals are proven conduits for the disease, including bats, cats, dogs, ferrets, monkeys and mink — the latter of which are known to become infected with SARS-CoV2, the virus that causes COVID-19 illness, by interacting with sickened human handlers, as well as pass that infection back to humans. As a result, millions in Denmark were culled to prevent further spread between species.
