FBI Probing Senate Intel Democrats For Possible Classified Leaks, Spurred By NSA Criminal Referral (Just the News) — The FBI has opened an investigation into possible leaks of classified information by Democrats or their staffs on the Senate Intelligence Committee, spurred in part by a criminal referral from the National Security Agency concerning the release of one of its overseas intercepts, sources told Just the News. The NSA made the referral last summer concerning reports, including one in the New York Times, earlier that year during Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation process that quoted information from an intercept of two Hezbollah terrorist figures who claimed Gabbard, during a 2017 trip to Syria, had met with the “big guy.” The Times suggested the reference was taken by some to mean Gabbard had met with a top Hezbollah terrorist leader, a claim she adamantly denied. NSA concluded the leak accurately contained information from one of its intercepts but that Gabbard had not in fact met with Hezbollah leaders. The spy agency identified potential leakers among Senate Intelligence Committee Democrat staff who had access to the intercept prior to the Times report, sources said.

A preliminary assessment by the department’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis, dated April 27, stated that Allen had “multiple social and political grievances” with the Trump administration – and concluded that the conflict in Iran “may have contributed to his decision to conduct the attack.” The report, marked as a “Critical Incident Note,” was first obtained by Reuters and offers the clearest evidence yet on a possible tipping point that led to the heinous attack. The suspect criticized U.S. actions in the war in several social media posts. Prosecutors in court documents have alleged that Allen “disagreed” with Trump politically and “wanted to ‘fight back’ against government policies and decisions that he found morally objectionable.” See full story
'Free Palestine' Firebomber Sentenced To Life In Prison (Hot Air) — You probably remember this attack which happened in Boulder last June. A group of mostly elderly Jewish people went into a city park to protest and demand the release of Jewish hostages taken by Hamas. A man later identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman showed up and attacked the group with Molotov cocktails. The shocking violence unfolded at 1:26 p.m. local time, when Boulder police were called to the county courthouse on Pearl Street for reports of a man who had a weapon and was setting people on fire, according to Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn. The attack took place near an event put on by "Run for Their Lives," a grassroots group that organizes run and walk events calling for the release of Israeli hostages held since Oct. 7, 2023, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL)... The suspect was heard yelling, "How many children you killed?" and "We have to end Zionists, they are killers," according to an analysis of video of the scene by the ADL Center on Extremism.

Dean DelleChiaie, a 35-year-old mechanical engineering contractor from Nashua, was arrested Monday, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Hampshire. Prosecutors said that late last month, DelleChiaie sent a death threat to the White House from his personal email account, allegedly identifying himself and stating he planned to "neutralize" or "kill" the president. The email was sent roughly three months after DelleChiaie allegedly began using his government work computer to conduct assassination-related research. According to prosecutors, his searches included how to smuggle a firearm into a federal facility, previous assassination attempts targeting Trump, statistics on how many people wanted him dead, and the statement, "I am going to kill Donald John Trump."

Flight Attendant Fired For Being Pro-Life Finally Gets $1 Million From Southwest Airlines (Not the Bee) — We've got an update here nearly a decade in the making. Southwest Airlines fired flight attendant Charlene Carter way back in 2017 because she posted pro-life opinions on her personal social media page. Yes, on her personal page.

Here's LifeNews with the latest, and hopefully final, update on Charlene's case… U.S. District Judge Brantley Starr ordered Southwest to reinstate Carter and pay her more than $810,000 in damages, including about $150,000 in back pay. The judge also required the airline to notify employees of their rights against religious discrimination.

The spring months of March and April are typically when rattlesnakes emerge from brumation, as members of the Colorado Parks and Wildlife are warning people to be cautious while spending time outdoors. According to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife, rattlesnakes are usually very forgiving during an encounter and will stay away before they resort to a venomous bite in self-defense. "During the coldest months of the year, they shelter in winter dens and usually resume activity in late March or early April," read a statement from Colorado Parks and Wildlife. "Once active, adult snakes may migrate several kilometers from their dens in search of food." See full story
Police Airlift Massive Crocodile Suspected Of Eating Missing Local (Fox News) — Authorities in South Africa carried out a high-risk recovery operation over the weekend, airlifting a massive crocodile suspected of eating a local resident.

The operation was also captured on camera and has since spread widely on social media, showing personnel hoisting the massive crocodile from the water by helicopter.

District Judge J.P. Boulee ruled against the county, which had argued that the ballots, any electronic copies of the ballots, and any other election materials should be returned because the seizure of them was improper and unconstitutional, according to the Associated Press. The seizure by the FBI on January 28 was based on the Justice Department’s investigation into “irregularities that occurred during the 2020 presidential election in the County.” They identified two laws that may have been violated. One involved the maintaining of election records and the other “prohibits procuring, casting or tabulating false, fictitious or fraudulent ballots,” according to the AP. Joe Biden was declared the winner in Georgia, and received the state’s 16 electoral votes. See full story
