Club Q Shooting: Man Who Allegedly Killed 5, Injured 18 Was Previously Arrested for Bomb Threat
At least 2 people inside the club stopped the gunman and prevented further violence, police said.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — An armed 22-year-old entered an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, just before midnight Saturday night and immediately opened fire, killing at least five people and injuring 18 others, before patrons stopped and disarmed him, police said Sunday, CNN reported.
The suspect in the shooting at Club Q was identified as Anderson Lee Aldrich, according to Colorado Springs Police Chief Adrian Vasquez. He used a long rifle in the shooting, and two firearms were found at the scene, he said.
Law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation told ABC News that the suspect in the mass shooting is the same person arrested in a June 2021 bomb threat incident.
At least two people inside the club stopped the gunman and prevented further violence, Vasquez said. “We owe them a great debt of thanks,” he said.
“Club Q is a safe haven for our LGBTQ citizens,” he added. “Every citizen has a right to feel safe and secure in our city, to go about our beautiful city without fear of being harmed or treated poorly.”

Idaho Paper: Similarities Discovered Between Idaho Stabbing and Unsolved 2021 Oregon Murder
The murder of four University of Idaho students early in the morning on November 13, while they were sleeping according to authorities, in Moscow, Idaho has striking similarities to an attack of a sleeping couple from Marion County, Oregon in 2021.
According to the Idaho Tribune, on August 13, 2021 around 3 am, 26-year-old husband Travis Richard Juetten and his wife, Jamilyn Rebekah Juetten, were stabbed multiple times in a circumstance, like the Idaho murders, where the assailant entered the home and stabbed the victims over and over again with a large knife.

Idaho Police Seek Surveillance Video After Stabbing Deaths of College Students
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Authorities investigating the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students as they slept in a house near campus are asking for outside surveillance video to help solve the week-old crime.
The Moscow Police Department late Saturday requested from businesses and residences in specific parts of the city any footage recorded between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. on Nov. 13, the day of the killings.
Police said they have received about 500 tips after the killings shook the Idaho Panhandle community of 25,000 residents. The leafy college town about 80 miles (130 kilometers) south of Spokane, Washington, last saw a homicide about five years ago.
Also on Saturday, police said a private driver who gave two of the women a ride home was not involved in the crime.

Machines Failed at 70 Maricopa County Polling Places on Election Day
Investigations into voting issues in Arizona have revealed that a staggering 70 polling places in Maricopa County suffered issues with machines that were vital to processing ballots on Election Day.
Officials have been investigating the reasons why Arizona’s biggest county suffered so many issues as citizens tried to cast their votes in the midterms.
The locations were mostly spread throughout the Valley region, according to KNXV-TV.
The main issue with the polling places was with Ballot on Demand printers, not tabulation machines.
According to the report, an election department spokesperson revealed in an email that the printer fusers were the problem, not a lack of ink or toner.

Man Fatally Stabbed, Run Over at Meeting to Settle Dispute Outside Walmart, NC Cops Say
A man was fatally stabbed and run over outside of a Walmart in North Carolina, officials told news outlets.
Around 1 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 19, officers were called to a Walmart in Marion for reports of a stabbing and found 45-year-old Alfredo Guardian Magana critically injured and lying in the parking lot near the grocery pickup area, the Marion Police Department said, according to WLOS. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Now, police say they are looking for 38-year-old Salvador Romero Magana, who they have identified as a suspect in Alfredo Magana’s death, WYFF reported. He is wanted on charges of second-degree murder. Officials did not say whether the two are related.
Anyone who sees Salvador Magana should not approach him and should call 911, the outlet reported.
Police said their investigation found that approximately nine people showed up outside the Walmart in two separate vehicles “apparently to settle an unknown dispute,” WLOS reported.

Mass Shooting at Colorado Gay Club Leaves 5 Dead, 18 Injured
Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times
Five people were killed and another 18, including the suspect, were injured in a shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado, according to police officials.
The first call on the shooting came in just before midnight on Nov. 19, Lt. Pamela Castro with the Colorado Springs Police Department told reporters near the establishment, which is called Club Q.
The suspect was taken into custody and is being treated at local hospitals, as are the other injured, Castro said. The severity of the injuries vary and the number of dead could increase.

Mayor and Police Do Antifa’s Bidding, Shut Down Event Showcasing Opposing Speech
Here’s a scenario: Some extremists don’t like the ideas that would be expressed at an event, so they issue threats of violence via social media. The mayor and police chief of the relevant jurisdiction then shut down the event on “public safety grounds.”
If this sounds like a recipe for easily squelching speech you dislike, know that it’s also another thing:
Something that just happened, according to Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson. In fact, this is the fifth time it has occurred in just the last few weeks, he says.
Carlson reported on the story Friday evening, saying:
Josh Denny is a comedian. You may have heard of him. He used to work for the Food Network. He’s also pro-life, personally, and willing to say so out loud.
Earlier this month, Denny was preparing to host a comedy show in Rutherford, New Jersey. That’s about a half hour outside of New York, but just minutes after the show was announced, Antifa, a violent, radical group, decided to shut it down.
Hundreds of Antifa-affiliated Twitter accounts started bombarding the venue called the Williams Center. They also went after the chief of police of Rutherford, a man called John Russo, and they threatened violence. Now, at that point, a chief of police who wanted to defend the Constitution, his solemn duty, would have pushed back and affirmed the sacred right of free expression of every American, but that’s not what Chief Russo did. Instead, he caved to the demands of the mob.

Powerful explosions rocked the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine this weekend, renewing concerns that fighting so close to the facility could cause a nuclear accident.
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, said that whoever was responsible for the attacks was “playing with fire,” reiterating a warning he made in September.
IAEA experts at the plant said that more than a dozen blasts were heard within a short period of time Sunday morning local time, the nuclear watchdog said in a statement. Shelling was observed both near and at the site of the facility. IAEA officials could even see some explosions from their windows, the nuclear watchdog said.
“Whoever is behind this, it must stop immediately,” Grossi added.

Kyiv Voices Doubts That Missile That Fell in Poland Was From Ukraine
Ukrainian authorities have voiced doubts that a missile that fell in Poland on November 15 came from Ukrainian air defense forces.
The Polish Foreign Ministry said a Russian-made missile fell on the village of Przewodow, a village in eastern Poland, about six kilometers from the border with Ukraine. Two people died in the incident, which has raised global alarm that the Ukraine war could spill into neighboring countries.
Western officials, including U.S. President Joe Biden and NATO chief Jens Stotlenberg, said the incident was probably caused by a Ukrainian air defense missile, though they cautioned that there has been no indication so far that it was a deliberate attack and an investigation into what happened is ongoing.
But Oleksiy Danilov, the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, said on November 16 that Kyiv wanted a joint study of the incident with its Western partners and to see the information that provides the basis for its allies’ conclusions.
“We are advocating a further, as detailed as possible study of this incident together with our partners. We are ready to hand over to our partners the evidence of the Russian trail that we have,” Danilov said.
“We also expect information from our partners, on the basis of which a final conclusion was made that it is a Ukrainian air defense missile,” he added.
Ukraine has also requested immediate access to the site of the explosion, he said.

Will Elon Musk be the Game Changer in Ukraine?
Tesla founder Elon Musk is once again becoming an important military factor in the Ukrainian theater of war. Musk has decided to take around 1 300 of his Starlink satellites, which previously covered the territory of Ukraine, off the grid due to financing problems.
This is a heavy blow for the Ukrainian military as well as for the Kiev government. Early in the war, Musk had provided Ukraine with thousands of Starlink mobile terminals, which the government used to keep its communications open.
More importantly, the Starlink network was often the only means of communication for the Ukrainian military, and thanks to additionally developed software, the Ukrainian units were able to record great success in engaging Russian targets using Starlink.
“Starlink helped us a lot when it came to the blockades in our cities and occupied territories. Sometimes we completely lost touch with those regions,” Ukrainian President Zelensky told Business Insider.
But that seems over now. Due to funding problems, Musk’s space company SpaceX took 1 300 satellites offline. Musk is demanding $2 500 per terminal from the Ukrainian military to keep them running. The total cost increased to 20 million US dollars. The result: the Ukrainian military can no longer — or does not want to — bear these costs.

India: Mysterious Mangaluru Auto Blast ‘An Act of Terror’ By a Suspected ‘Jihadi Man’
Autorickshaw blast in MangaluruB Upendran | HENB | Mangaluru | Nov 20, 2022:: Karnataka Director general and inspector general of police Praveen Sood on Sunday confirmed that the suspected low-intensity blast reported in an autorickshaw in Mangaluru on Saturday was an act on a part of terror.
It is opined by the experts now, if the blast was not a mere accident by chance and could be made under proper planning to harm the Hindus of Mangaluru city that would claim many lives as a fatal consequences. The planned blast as assumed could not be materialized at the right location in fixed time.
Soon after the incident, ADGP (law and order) Alok Kumar, referring to the incident, suspected it to be a low-intensity blast. He said, “The FSL team based on their examination, we will be able to conclude if it is a blast or something else. For now, we suspect that it is a low intensity blast. Two people have sustained burn injuries. The driver is from Mangaluru. The identity of the passenger is yet to be ascertained.” Perhaps the identity of the injured persons, the driver and the passenger is kept disclosed by the police for the interest of further investigation.
But the DGP Karnataka tweeted, “It’s confirmed now. The blast is not accidental but an act of terror with intention to cause serious damage. Karnataka State Police is probing deep into it along with central agencies.”…

The Ballots From Brazil: South-of-the-Border Steal?
“What happens in Washington doesn’t always stay in Washington,” wrote The New York Times in a November 14 opinion piece. Author Natalia Viana, a Brazilian “investigative journalist,” could’ve been alluding to the 2000 election, after which some Democrats called President George W. Bush illegitimate; to Stacey Abrams, who repeatedly claimed she was the rightful governor of Georgia; or to the Trump-Russia-collusion hoax, whose orchestrators insisted that Putin stole the election for the 45th president. But she wasn’t.
Instead, she was claiming that supporters of Brazil’s president, Jair Bolsonaro, were mirroring Donald Trump by claiming that their October 30 run-off election — which Bolsonaro “lost” to socialist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva by less than two percent of the vote — might have been stolen.
But the mirroring would go far beyond that, according to Bolsonaro’s son, Eduardo Bolsonaro. In fact, he says that the Brazilian election was stolen just the way the U.S.’s election was.

Frontex Registers New Record in Illegal Crossings
The European border protection agency Frontex has now also confirmed a new record. In the first ten months of this year, 275 000 illegal border crossings were counted — 73 percent more than in the same period last year.
“Due to the high number of arrivals, there may be delays in reporting and the final numbers could be higher,” Frontex officials warned. In October alone, 47 percent more illegal entries into the EU member states were registered than in the same month last year.
The most active route to the EU continues to be the Western Balkans (128 438 border crossings in the first ten months). Second place is taken by the central Mediterranean route, which recorded an increase between January and October in particular (79 140 border crossings up to and including October).
This is based on preliminary estimates by the EU border protection agency.

Concerned adults are sounding the alarm on the lack of scientific studies to support transgender medical treatments that permanently alter a young person’s physiology and leave their mental health issues unresolved.
Child and adolescent psychiatrist Miriam Grossman, who has been a mental health professional for 40 years, said the gender industry is built on the lies of one troubled psychologist.
