[WYFF] 48 hour rule
OCONEE COUNTY, S.C. — Deputies are looking for a driver who they say drove through a gate at the Oconee Nuclear Station Thursday night, according to Master Deputy Jimmy Watt from the Oconee County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies responded to the plant around 8 p.m. after a man drove his silver 2002 Toyota Camry through the exit side of the gate on the Highway 183 side of the facility, Watt said.

According to Watt, after the vehicle struck the pop-up barricades that security at the plant activated, the driver backed the vehicle up and proceeded down a dirt road, where Duke Energy security blocked the vehicle.
The driver then drove through a fence after attempting to hit the security officers, Watt said.
According to Watt, the driver then drove out of the exit of the plant, where he attempted to hit a security truck with a guard in it.
After driving back onto Highway 183, the driver then drove into Pickens County and pulled onto some property on Jones Mill Road, where shots were fired, Watt said.
According to Watt, at this time, the source of the shots fired in the Jones Mill Road area is unknown.
The silver 2002 Toyota Camry has an Arkansas tag of 380VDR, according to information obtained during the investigation, Watt said.
About one hour before tonight’s incident, the same vehicle and driver also showed up on the property of the Oconee Nuclear Station, Watt said.
According to Watt, after being asked to leave, the driver drove off.
If you have any information on the whereabouts of the driver of a 2002 Toyota Camry with an Arkansas tag of 380VDR, you are asked to call 911 immediately.
According to Duke Energy's website, with three nuclear reactors, Oconee Nuclear Station is one of the nation’s largest nuclear plants. Since beginning operation in 1973, it has safely and reliably generated more than 500 million megawatt-hours of electricity.

A jury found disgraced cryptocurrency tycoon and Democrat megadonor Sam Bankman-Fried guilty of fraud-related charges on Thursday.
Bankman-Fried co-founded and served as CEO of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, which collapsed in November amid allegations the company was mishandling billions in customer funds. The Department of Justice indicted Bankman-Fried on seven fraud and conspiracy-related charges in August, alleging he masterminded a scheme to divert the money to fund campaign contributions, donations to charities and real estate acquisitions.
The jury found Bankman-Fried guilty on all seven charges, reaching the verdict after around four hours of deliberations, according to The Messenger. Four of the charges have potential prison sentences of up to 20 years each, but the judge will make the final decision on sentencing.
His sentencing is scheduled for March 28, according to The New York Times

Let me be among the first to say Sam Bankman-Fried didn't commit suicide. Unless he has information that would result in the arrest and conviction of Hillary Clinton.

Think they understand that at least one unofficial official crypto is handy; SBF had it but was likely getting too bombed and too loose, too often, and thought himself untouchable like Hunter.
[NYPOST] A Manhattan federal jury has convicted Sam Bankman-Fried of stealing $10 billion from users of his crypto exchange and lying to lenders and investors — capping a fall from grace for an ex-billionaire who was once viewed as one of the crypto world’s brightest stars.
The 31-year-old disgraced tech mogul was found guilty of all seven fraud and conspiracy charges stemming from a scheme to swipe money from users of his FTX exchange to pay off debts at his failing hedge fund Alameda Research and purchase lavish real estate.
Bankman-Fried, wearing a gray suit and purple tie, stood calmly with his hands folded across his lap as the verdict was read in a packed Manhattan federal courtroom Thursday night.
As he was led out of the courtroom, he looked over his shoulder and gave a quick nod to his distraught parents, Stanford Law School professors Barbara Fried and Joseph Bankman, who had walked up to the first row of the court gallery to try to speak with him.

In Africa they use children as soldiers.
I guess DC being a Criminal war zone is no different.
In regards to the birth canal person, stating this POS has serious behavioral problems and struggles with anger. You birthed it, I guess you just open the door and said go play Thug and blend in?
Question:
Will the DC DA have time to address this, given the DC Kangaroo Court is busy railroading Trump?

[FoxNews] A man convicted of murder in Venezuela who managed to cross the southern border was found living in state-funded migrant housing on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, according to a statement released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The fugitive, identified by Boston 25 News as 38-year-old Jordano Gotopo-Lopez, was convicted of homicide in his home country of Venezuela, where he has been wanted since 2006 for a violation of his sentencing conditions there.
Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston arrested Gotopo-Lopez on Oct. 27 at a migrant housing facility on Joint Base Cape Cod in Bourne.
ICE said Gotopo-Lopez "failed to disclose" his previous conviction when he was arrested for illegally entering the U.S. in Eagle Pass, Texas, on July 31.
Gotopo-Lopez was processed in Texas and given a notice to report himself to immigration authorities in 60 days, but he never showed up.
When Gotopo-Lopez was discovered by authorities at the Cape Cod shelter, he admitted that he had been convicted of murder and was wanted in Venezuela, ICE said.
He was arrested without incident and will remain in custody until his removal from the U.S., according to ICE.
ICE said that in fiscal year 2022, ERO removed 46,396 noncitizens with criminal histories.
The government agency noted that there have been 198,498 associated charges and convictions, including 21,531 assault offenses; 8,164 sex and sexual assault offenses; 5,554 weapons offenses; 1,501 homicide-related offenses; and 1,114 kidnapping offenses.
[FoxNews] Alabama's Supreme Court on Wednesday cleared the state to execute an inmate using nitrogen gas.
The state's attorney general’s request for an execution warrant for Kenneth Eugene Smith was granted in a 6-2 decision by an all-Republican court.
Last year, the Alabama Department of Corrections called off the execution of Smith when the people responsible for connecting two intravenous lines to him for lethal injection could not do so.
While the ruling moves the state closer to becoming the first to attempt execution with nitrogen gas, there is likely to be additional legal dispute on the matter. Alabama joins Oklahoma and Mississippi with authorization to use nitrogen hypoxia as a form of execution, although no state has yet attempted to use it.
Smith was one of two men convicted in the 1988 murder-for-hire slaying of Elizabeth Sennett in Alabama's Colbert County.
"Elizabeth Sennett's family has waited an unconscionable 35 years to see justice served. Today, the Alabama Supreme Court cleared the way for Kenneth Eugene Smith to be executed by nitrogen hypoxia," Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall wrote. "Though the wait has been far too long, I am grateful that our capital litigators have nearly gotten this case to the finish line."
Smith's legal team had urged the court to reject the execution request. They also previously accused the state of trying to move Smith to "the front of the line" for a nitrogen execution in order to moot Smith’s lawsuit challenging lethal injection procedures.
[FoxNews] Four people are facing charges in connection to a $10,000 murder-for-hire conspiracy that saw a teenage Florida girl shot dead after she told police she was sexually assaulted by a man.
Isabella Scavelli, 17, of Brooksville, was allegedly shot dead on her doorstep by two men on Feb. 7, one day after reporting to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) that Lenard White, whom she knew, had attacked her. Scavelli’s mother was also seriously injured in the alleged hit after the teen opened the door to a hail of gun fire.
Now investigators at the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Middle District of Florida say White hired two men – Sheldon Robinson, 21, and Keshawn Woods, 22 – to carry out the gunning down of Scavelli because she spoke out.
White, investigators said at a Thursday morning press conference, offered Robinson about $10,000 to murder the teen.
Robinson seemingly accepted the number and then brazenly asked for help via social media saying he had a "clean up job" to do. He said he would give his accomplice $5,000 and cocaine to help, according to the HCSO. Investigators held up an image Robinson posted to social media showing the cash and cocaine.
Sheriff Al Nienhuis, of the HCSO, said Scavelli was not engaged in any" high-risk activity." "She was a good kid with a very bright future and to see her life cut short is heart-wrenching to say the least. Words cannot even express it," Nienhuis said.
Nienhuis said ammunition matching the gun used at the crime scene was found at Robinson’s home.
The HCSO, working in conjunction with the ATF and law enforcement officials recently found a gun hidden in the backyard of Robinson’s home, Fox 13 Tampa Bay reported. Nienhuis said that when the ballistics test came back it showed that the gun was used to shoot the victims.
The three are all in custody and been charged with a slew of crimes including conspiracy to commit murder for hire, murder for hire and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, officials said.
White and Robinson were also charged with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, tampering with a witness, and obstruction of justice.
Meanwhile, Janet Williams, Robinson’s mother, was charged with multiple counts of providing false statements to federal agents after she allegedly discovered $6,000 cash in her home and was not forthcoming to law enforcement about the money.
If convicted on all counts, White, Robinson, and Woods each face mandatory life imprisonment, or the federal death penalty. Williams faces a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison for each of the three false statement counts.

Unfortunately for the arrestees in this case, there is no Soros prosecutor to come to their rescue and murder for hire will prolly get at least some of them tickets for a Starke gurney ride.

[Daily Signal] FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Col. Ben Jonsson, an Air Force officer who accused his fellow "white colonels" of being "blind to institutional racism," is the subject of blistering criticism from subordinates at MacDill Air Force Base, where he served as commander from 2020 to 2022.
Jonsson is among the more than 300 military officers awaiting Senate approval for a promotion. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., has blocked Democrats—and now some Republicans—from rubber-stamping these promotions in a dispute over the Pentagon’s taxpayer-funded abortion policy..
This week, Democrats introduced a resolution that would change Senate rules for military promotions, bypassing Tuberville’s blockade. If successful, military officers such as Jonsson, whom Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin recommended for a promotion to brigadier general in January, would advance without further delay.
The Daily Signal’s previous reporting on Jonsson’s views on diversity, equity, and inclusion—and his endorsement of a book on critical race theory—sparked concerns among conservatives.
The reporting also prompted The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project to request a Defense Department "climate" assessment completed during Jonsson’s leadership of MacDill Air Force Base. As a result of a request under the Freedom of Information Act, the Oversight Project obtained the so-called Defense Organizational Climate Survey and shared it with The Daily Signal, which is Heritage’s news outlet.

[Military.com] Without warning, hundreds of noncommissioned officers were ordered via email to report to the recruiting school at Fort Knox, Kentucky, in less than a week, with hundreds more set to start at the school in December -- a sudden unexpected move by the Army as the service scrambles to boost its recruiting force by 800 by the end of the year.
The orders came after a breakdown in how the Army tracks how many recruiters it has coming through the pipeline along with retention of existing ones, according to Lt. Gen. Douglas Stitt, the Army's top personnel officer. The sudden depletion of recruiters caught Army planners flat-footed, with officials unable to provide a clear explanation as to what went wrong. Now, NCOs will likely have to move during the holiday season and in the middle of the school year, sowing chaos for families.
"Given the six-day heads up, we have zero time to plan child care," one noncommissioned officer told Military.com on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. "We can barely find and afford child care during the week as it is, so now my wife may end up having to quit her job entirely because it is impossible to find on the weekend."
The Army has roughly 10,000 recruiters, but that force has been bleeding troops over the past year. The 800 emergency recruiting students will allow the service to maintain its numbers. Recruiters have reported to Military.com in recent months of working longer hours and, in some cases, getting fired for missing quotas.
"I want to apologize to the soldiers and families for receiving this last-minute notification; that mistake is mine," Stitt told reporters Wednesday. "It's not lost on me, particularly at this point in time on the cusp of the holidays, the [impact] this has on our soldiers and NCOs."
The mad dash to fill its recruiter ranks has the Army dismissing minimum standards to send soldiers to the school, including getting rid of requirements that they have passing fitness scores and be in compliance with body weight standards, according to an internal email reviewed by Military.com. Some soldiers who were set to be drill sergeants will be reassigned as recruiters.
To incentivize recruiting roles, the Army is offering promotions and sometimes money. The service will promote sergeants going to recruiting school to staff sergeant -- assuming they are not flagged for reasons such as failing the fitness test -- "no questions asked," Sgt. Maj. Chris Stevens, the top enlisted leader for personnel policy, told reporters.
The opportunity will extend to soldiers recently promoted to sergeant, with time in service and grade requirements being waived, possibly serving as a fast track on the enlisted promotion ladder. The soldier is still expected to complete the Advanced Leader Course, but it's unclear if that needs to be done within a year as is required with temporary promotions.
Those who attend recruiting school and attend by February will earn a $5,000 bonus. Current recruiters who extend their recruiting contracts can earn $1,500 per month for one year. Staff sergeants who volunteer for recruiting school, and recruit 24 applicants in their first year on the job, will be promoted to sergeant first class. That incentive is not for the group of soldiers who were forced to go to the school.
The services have been struggling with recruiting since the COVID-19 pandemic. The Army has attributed many of its problems to a shallow pool of qualified applicants and a relatively healthy job market. Recruiters have fought to find applicants who are fit enough to serve, amid a nationwide obesity epidemic, while flagging performance on the academic entrance exam, blamed on underfunding at America's public schools, adds another challenge.
The Space Force and Marine Corps hit their recruiting goals last year, but those services are much smaller than the rest and, therefore, have a lower bar for recruiting quotas.
The active-duty part of the Army came up 10,000 new recruits short of its goal of 65,000 for the past fiscal year. The Army Reserve is in an even more dire situation, getting only 9,319 new soldiers. Its goal was to recruit 14,000. The Army National Guard fared much better, bringing in 29,457 new soldiers, just shy of its 30,880 goal.

Using AR 601-210, do we think they'll even find enough AFQT Cat 4's?
Unless the DOD is fighting a war using Smart PH, XBox, PS4 and the LSD's suddenly decide to leave Bubba and Tyrone alone, and to keep their firearms and ammo. Things will get interesting state-side quickly

Had a flight seat next to a fellow in green.
Found he was an artillery man, like my Dad in WWII. I talk to people too.
This fellow had been reselected to Recruiting.
He worked in a small 3 man storefront in a depressed neighborhood.
Asked him how he liked the move.

I doubt the recruiting school has 800 seats or billeting for all of them at once. If you are headed to Recruiting, Reserves, and ROTC, you have no further career.

...USAF pulled this stunt in the late 90s while I was still in - not enough recruiters, so every E5 coming back from overseas in a certain window was told to report to Lackland for Recruiter School. The geniuses behind this idea put a catch in that they thought would seal the deal: if you refused the orders, you got out.
As you may have already guessed, USAF was slightly surprised to discover just how refusable this idea was. The official numbers were 10-12%; I had friends in Personnel tell me it was closer to 30%. On top of that, somebody figured out that even THAT 2/3rds of the people would still not want to be there and would likely be more of a hindrance than help. (I met two guys who got caught up in it before it was put out of its misery; they both said that they would have considered their careers over and acted accordingly. I suspect that would have been the norm.)
So yeah, Army - put a gun to people's head like this. Fu@king morons.
Father (USSTRACOM - Kilbourne Kaserne) was 1 of the original 12 CSM's promoted in 1967 after doing recruiting duty in 1963 on returning from his 2 tour of Nam.
Brother made CSM (MOS 13) while at Gieesen Germany 23 months after doing Recruiting duty in 1990-91.
Recruiting duty is a make or break duty assignment. An yes it breaks many

Until they stop the woke BS, actually make it worthwhile to join and keep the toxic leadership to a minimum they might get some numbers back. Honestly with the current generations of youngsters there is little hope for expanding the force without bringing back the draft as they want nothing to do with the military for the most part.
[AFRICANEWS] Former Zambian President Edgar Lungu has said he's getting out of retirement and rejoining active politics.
Lungu has since launched a bid to lead the Patriotic Front, the party which held power from 2011 until Lungu's loss to Hakainde Hichilema in 2021.
The party is currently engaged in a leadership dispute. Lungu's supporters accuse former Lusaka mayor Miles Sampa of grabbing the party presidency on Hichilema's orders.
In a speech at a memorial service for late President Michael Sata, Lungu accused Presidentof using state institutions to strangle Zambia’s largest opposition party.
Lungu also accuses the government of violating his rights. He has been stopped by the police from jogging and was also prevented from flying out of the country to seek medical attention.
In May of this year, police surrounded Lungu's home, demanding to search it as part of a corruption probe.
Lungu hopes to capitalize on the growing disenchantment with Hichilema's government.

[MetroUK] A £1.2 million home was ransacked by ‘evil’ children as young as 11, who caused more than £200,000 worth of damage using axes and chainsaws.
The owners told a court they feel ‘distraught’ after the Grade-II property in Shanklin, Isle of Wight, was left looking like ‘a war zone’.
Joanna Pittard, husband Matt and their two daughters had planned to make it their family home before it was ‘absolutely trashed’ by the youths.
The group targeted the six bedroom house in a month-long spree of destruction, which included damaging a wrought-iron chandelier, flipping over antique furniture and even destroying the homeowner’s wedding dress.
They left ‘hardly anything untouched’ by wrecking lights, bathroom taps and squirting ketchup, bleach and paint everywhere between May and June last year.
Seven perpetrators, who are now all aged between 13 and 16 and cannot be named for legal reasons, admitted criminal damage to property at Isle of Wight Magistrates’ Court, where they were each fined £1,500.
In interviews with police, the youngsters admitted to various degrees of involvement in their ‘impulsive’ damage, with one revealing they had created a ‘slip and slide’ in the bathroom.
In mitigation, the court heard the teenagers had expressed their ‘regret and remorse’ for what happened and had all had ‘improvements’ in their behaviour and attitude since.
The teenagers were handed a 12 month referral order and ordered to pay £1,500 compensation for the ‘very personal impact on the family involved’.
