OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – Police made an arrest Thursday in connection to a fatal shooting outside a North Omaha motorcycle club earlier this month. Darnell Long, Jr., 27, was arrested and booked into jail on one count of first-degree murder and one count of using a weapon to commit a felony. The charges stem from the Oct. 6 incident that left 37-year-old Alexander Whitcomb dead and another woman injured. Police patrolling the area came across a disturbance near 25th Street and Ames Avenue, where “hundreds” were running from a scene with multiple people exchanging gunfire outside the Los-Diablos Motorcycle Club. REST OF STORY

A single federal indictment in the Eastern District of North Carolina charges 16 members of two outlaw motorcycle gangs – the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club (HAMC) and the Red Devils Motorcycle Club (RDMC) – for their alleged roles as part of an enterprise engaging in violent criminal activity in and around Raleigh and Fayetteville. The RDMC is the main support club nationwide for the HAMC. Five of the defendants are charged with Murder in Aid of Racketeering for the killing of a member of the Pagan’s Motorcycle Club (PMC), a rival gang, on January 1, 2023, in Raleigh.  Two additional defendants are charged with accessory after the fact for their actions following that murder. Eight defendants are charged with Attempted Murder in Aid of Racketeering and Assault with a Dangerous Weapon in Aid of Racketeering for their alleged role in a July 22, 2023 violent assault of a PMC member in the parking lot of a Dairy Queen restaurant in Wade, North Carolina. One defendant is charged with obstruction for attempting to dissuade a witness from assisting the criminal investigation of this case. “Two years ago we launched a Violent Crime Action Plan to partner with local law enforcement to identify the individuals and groups driving violence in North Carolina, especially criminal enterprises that support and encourage violence by their members,” said U.S. Attorney Michael F. Easley, Jr.  “We’ll keep pursuing cases like this one, charging violent crimes in aid of racketeering, to expose patterns of violence and hold gang members and those who enable them accountable.” “According to the indictment, these defendants were leaders, organizers, and members of the Hell’s Angels Motorcycle Club and committed multiple crimes to advance their positions in this violent gang,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri, head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division.  “The gang’s alleged violent acts included the murder of a rival gang member on a public street, and the assault and attempted murder of other rival gang members in a restaurant parking lot.  This indictment demonstrates that, along with our local, state, and federal law enforcement partners, the Criminal Division is committed to holding accountable those response for acts of violence that terrorize local communities.” “Outlaw motorcycle gangs are notorious for lawless and violent behavior,” said Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Special Agent in Charge Bennie Mims. “These criminal organizations are responsible for a long list of illegal activities, such as assault and homicide and operate with absolutely no regard for the safety of law enforcement or the community. ATF is proud to stand with our law enforcement partners and be part of an effort to disrupt and disband violent and dangerous networks.” “I am proud to stand with my federal, state, and local partners in investigating and disrupting violent organizations,” said Raleigh Police Chief Estella Patterson. “The Raleigh Police Department and our community will not tolerate destructive behavior and will work tirelessly with our law enforcement partners to identify those responsible to ensure they are held accountable. I am grateful to United States Attorney Michael F. Easley, Jr., and his team for their continued dedication and steadfast commitment to public safety. I also thank the ATF, the Fayetteville Police Department, and the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office for their strong partnership in these cases.” “Operation Broken Halo has been an ongoing investigation with the Fayetteville Police Department and the ATF into an alleged criminal enterprise connected to an outlaw motorcycle gang,” said Fayetteville Police Chief Kemberle Braden. “Through collaboration and partnership with the ATF and other supporting agencies, we were able to successfully bring charges against numerous members of this outlaw motorcycle gang and their supporting clubs. The Fayetteville Police Department remains committed to our partnership with federal, state, and local agencies to remove violent criminals from our community.” “I want to make it clear: violent activity is not tolerated in Cumberland County,” said Cumberland County Sheriff Ennis W. Wright.  “The Sheriff’s Office is 100 percent committed to maintaining a safe and peaceful community. We thoroughly investigate all tips, and it’s vital for the community to continue to report what they see because we cannot do it alone. We are grateful for our partnerships with the community, the Department of Justice, and federal and local law enforcement agencies. Together, we do and will continue to make a difference.” Most of the charges are being brought under the Violent Crimes in Aid of Racketeering Activity (VICAR) statute, which makes it illegal to commit violent crimes, including murder, kidnapping, maiming, assault with a dangerous weapon, assault resulting in serious bodily injury, or threatening to commit a crime of violence for the purpose of joining, remaining with, or moving up in rank within an enterprise. The indictment alleges that all 16 defendants are members or associates of the HAMC, a violent outlaw motorcycle group alleged to use violence, threats, and intimidation to carry out its perceived mission and enforce its rules. The indictment alleges that HAMC members are under a standing order to attack, injure, and potentially kill members of the PMC. The indictment also alleges that HAMC members commonly commit physical assaults, including murder, threats to injure, and intimidation to keep witnesses to their criminal conduct silent. The indictment charges the following offenses: Vidaul Rashaad Reed, aka “Hootie,” Anthony Edward Cheever, aka “Rowdy,” David William Stephens, aka “007,” Martinus Jermaine Starks, aka “Tee,” and Tyler Scott Grissom, aka “Snow,” are all members of the RDMC and are each charged with one count of Murder in Aid of Racketeering and one count of discharge of a firearm in connection with a crime of violence and, in doing so, causing death; all for allegedly murdering a member of the PMC on January 1, 2023.  Murder in Aid of Racketeering carries a mandatory life sentence upon conviction and the other charged offenses carry a sentence of up to life in prison. Christopher Dylan Manor and Robert Scott Brown are both charged with accessory after the fact to the January 1, 2023 murder.  Manor was a member of RDMC at the time of the alleged offense and Brown is a member of the HAMC. Each face up to 15 years in prison if convicted. Jason Lee Hathaway, Fred Joseph Prosperi, aka “Freddy” and “Snow Boy,” William Scott Gardner, aka “Big Will,” Terry Lewis Akins, Jr., J.R. Nevarez Darr, Darrell Dewayne Strickland, Jr., William Franklin Beasley and David Lee Woodall are charged with Attempted Murder in Aid of Racketeering and Assault with a Deadly Weapon in Aid of Racketeering related to the attempted murder and assault with a dangerous weapon of members of the PMC on July 22, 2023 in the parking lot of a Dairy Queen restaurant in Wade, North Carolina. They are all were members of the HAMC at the time of the offense and each face up to thirty years in prison if convicted. Jonathan Michael Robarge is charged with tampering with a witness, victim or informant by harassment, Robarge has ties to both HAMC and RDMC, and faces up to three years in prison if convicted. The ATF, the Raleigh and Fayetteville Police Departments, and the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the case. Trial Attorney Alyssa Levey-Weinstein and Deputy Chief Kelly Pearson of the Justice Department’s Violent Crime and Racketeering Section and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kelly L. Sandling and Robert Dodson of the Eastern District of North Carolina are prosecuting the case. This investigation was an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) investigation. OCDETF identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level drug traffickers, money launders, gangs, and transnational criminal organizations that threaten the United States by using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach that leverages the strengths of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies against criminal networks.

The lines have never been so clearly defined as they are right now my friends…. On the one side you have MAGA, which generally stands for: God, Guns, Family, Country, America-First, Faith, Freedom, Liberty. On the other side?  Quite literally you have: God-haters, Kill the Family (especially the babies), hate America, America-Last, Ukraine-First, No Faith, No Hope, Revoke First Amendment, Revoke Second Amendment, Lockdowns. The latest? As if it wasn’t entirely clear already, it should be after this… Watch the video clip here and then I’ll show you a few other versions: Original audio pic.twitter.com/05fEJUz3Aj — MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) October 18, 2024 That’s a little hard to hear, so let’s go to a second version. Here is enhanced audio: Oh my God… Someone Shouted “Jesus is Lord” at Kamala’s Rally last night and she said… “Oh, I think you’re at the wrong rally… I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.” MAGA is the party of Jesus. Kamala is the party of the devil. *Note.. I isolated… pic.twitter.com/3dUWITKX3e — MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) October 18, 2024 Still even a tad hard to hear. So here’s a third which is the most clear of all, I think: Here is an even better video with audio pic.twitter.com/FDuRZCuN0M — SeanOfDefi (@SeanOfDefi) October 18, 2024 The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was on site and confirms that is exactly what was shouted from the crowd and what Kamala Harris was very intentionally referring to: Vice President Kamala Harris was interrupted by hecklers at a rally for supporters at the La Crosse Recreational Eagle Center Thursday. It was the Democratic presidential nominee’s second campaign event in the battleground state of Wisconsin on the day. About 20 minutes into Harris’ speech, a number of attendees were escorted out, while shouting “Jesus is Lord” at those around them. Unfazed, Harris stopped her remarks and countered. “Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally,” she said. “No, I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.” The crowd erupted into cheers and applause as the protesters were shown toward the door. I would say she just lost the Christian vote, but I can’t believe she ever had it in the first place! Meanwhile, Jack Posobiec reports that Democrat mega donors are literally calling the campaign asking if losing was always the plan — wow: WH official, “Lots of mega donors currently at the dinner are texting campaign leaders, asking them if losing was always the plan, like in a serious way” — Jack Poso (@JackPosobiec) October 18, 2024

Saturday Night Live is funny and relevant again! Why? Because they stopped trying to push a political agenda and decided to just be funny!  What a novel concept! And they’ve brought in some big names to do it, Jim Gaffigan as Tim Walz and the biggest of all, Dana Carvey as Joe Biden! His impression is perhaps the best Presidential (Residential??) impression they’ve ever had on the show, so I was fascinated to hear how he developed it. He explained recently on a podcast with David Spade…. Take a look: Really, really funny! Guess what? And by the way? No joke! Let me be clear! So good…. And if you want more on this topic, I have two related reports for you. The first is this one….is it possible the impression is SO good because, well…..because of this: Is Dana Carvey “Playing” Joe Biden? And if you haven't actually seen some of the SNL bits, I have those for you below. They are genuinely funny! See here: Wait….Saturday Night Live Is Funny Again? Wait....Saturday Night Live Is Funny Again? So Saturday Night Live is suddenly funny again? And all it took was dropping the far-left ideology and actually writing jokes about the people who themselves are a walking joke? Imagine that! I mean, come on folks, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Tim Walz and all the rest of these goofballs are comedy gold and even Saturday Night Live finally realized there was just too much comedy perfection here to continue to ignore. And it's brought in some big names too.... Dana Carvey is back to play a pitch-perfect Joe Biden, absolutely incredible. Jim Gaffigan is showing up each week to play Tim Walz. And even Maya Rudolph came back to her old stomping grounds to play another pitch-perfect Kamala. It's pure comedy gold, and I'm an equal opportunity offender here, find the comedy where it is....even the Trump impression is dead on and hilarious! This is one of the funniest sketches they've done in a long time, watch here: Family Feud: Election Edition pic.twitter.com/x03aYhHKTX — Saturday Night Live - SNL (@nbcsnl) October 13, 2024 Here is the first time two weeks ago that we got Dana Carvey as Joe Biden: In Actually Funny Sketches, SNL Skewers Biden, Harris and Walz! And last week was hilarious too.... In case you missed it, here's that link: WATCH: SNL’s Hilarious Roast of Tim Walz, Dana Carvey’s Biden Steals The Show! And there was also another sketch from last week that had me rolling.... The Mile High Burger Challenge. So funny! But even better than that is the classic "Lisa from Temecula". Have you seen this one? This has me dying laughing every time I watch it, one of the best sketches SNL has ever done. You know it's good when she makes every person in the sketch break character and laugh, including herself. If you need a laugh, please enjoy: Keep it up SNL.... Stick with being funny, we don't need your politics. Just be funny.

Massive credit to my man Tyrus for this one…. He optimized his time recently interviewing President Trump by not just asking him questions but by presenting President Trump with an idea! How’s that for turning the tables? But of course it was done very respectfully and it was very well received by our President who seemed genuinely impressed that no one had suggested this before. We all know President Trump went viral earlier this year when he proposed “No tax on tips!” Remember this? BREAKING: Trump Promises to Stop Taxing Tips! From there the list grew to include some additional categories of tax-exempt groups: Social Security Benefits Recipients - Trump has proposed exempting Social Security benefits from income taxes. Individuals Receiving Tips - There's been mention of exempting tips from income taxes, which would primarily benefit service industry workers. Overtime Pay Earners - Exempting overtime pay from income taxes has been proposed, benefitting workers who earn overtime. Domestic Producers - Trump floated the idea of lowering the corporate tax rate to 15% for companies that produce goods in the United States, which isn't directly an income tax exemption for individuals but aims at incentivizing domestic production. Families Benefiting from TCJA - While not a new proposal for his second term, making the individual tax cuts from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) permanent would continue to affect middle-class families by keeping their tax rates lower. However, this isn't specifically "no income tax" but rather reduced income tax. Estate Tax Modifications - Although this relates more to inheritance, Trump's plans included proposals to cap the estate and gift tax rate at no higher than 20% or make the higher exemptions from TCJA permanent, which indirectly affects individuals inheriting estates by potentially reducing or eliminating the tax on estates. Universal Savings Account Contributors - Although not directly an income tax exemption, Trump has supported the idea of allowing contributions to universal savings accounts with tax-free withdrawals, which could be seen as a tax benefit for savers. All great ideas! But Tyrus asked President Trump about an obvious group that is missing but might fit in very well to this list:  Military, Veterans, Police Officers, Firefighters and First Responders! Brilliant idea! Watch here: No Tax for Veterans, for Police Officers, for Firefighters? ? Tyrus makes a compelling case to Trump that there should not be any taxes for those who put their bodies on the line for this country. I agree… Should @realDonaldTrump do this??https://t.co/Ofh2IFwutf pic.twitter.com/lRtU78nJa3 — MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) October 18, 2024 Backup here if needed: I love this idea, but I have to say something.... Does anyone else feel like this is building up to something much bigger? No, I still don't believe in the hocus-pocus of NESARA/GESARA, but I do believe huge changes are coming.... Does anyone else feel like this is all building to a simple elimination of the IRS entirely? I do. I think President Trump is eating this Elephant one bite at a time, but at some point the momentum will shift to where so many people are exempt (and the country will be running on surpluses thanks to President Trump's tariffs) that he will simply declare the IRS to be eliminated at some point. That's my prediction. Your thoughts?
