'He meant to kidnap....perhaps execute': Retired Lt. Col charged over Capitol MAGA siege wanted to take hostages, say prosecutors who also claim QAnon Shaman planned to 'assassinate officials'

Prosecutors believe the MAGA mob rioters who stormed the US Capitol last week planned to 'assassinate elected officials' - as it's alleged that a retired Air Force officer carried plastic zip-tie handcuffs because he intended 'to take hostages'.   Claims that some rioters intended to assassinate elected officials have now been made by federal prosecutors in Texas and Arizona as those charged in the siege continue to face court over their involvement.    Retired Lt. Col. Larry Rendall Brock Jr, 53, faced court in Texas on Thursday after he was arrested after being photographed on the Senate floor during the deadly riot wearing a helmet and heavy vest and carrying plastic zip-tie handcuffs.   Brock, a father-of-three who lives in Dallas, was released to home confinement after being charged with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.   During his hearing,

Daughter of 'middle-aged' black couple who claimed they were 'racially profiled' when officers stopped them for 'driving a vehicle on a road' says Suffolk Police have been 'cleared of any wrongdoing'

The daughter of a black couple who claimed they were racially profiled after officers stopped them for 'driving a vehicle on a road' said Suffolk Police have been 'cleared of any wrongdoing'.     Ingrid Antoine-Oniyoke, 47, and her 50-year-old husband Falil Oniyoke were stopped near their home in Ipswich in June last year because one of them had 'glanced' at a police car.    The couple were pulled over, ordered to provide a driving licence and told they were jumping on the Black Lives Matter 'bandwagon' when they questioned why they were stopped.  Their daughter, Maja Antoine-Onikoyi, posted a video to social media showing her parents in the confrontation with officers. Suffolk Police then issued an apology over the incident, particularly for 'certain comments made in the video', a force spokesman said.  But Maja claimed in a Twitter post on Thursday that a new investigation found the officers to be '100% right' and that her mother had be

United Airlines is slammed for giving 'meager' $200 vouchers to passengers who risked their lives giving CPR to man, 69, who died of virus mid-flight

United Airlines passengers who risked their lives by giving CPR to a 69-year-old man who collapsed mid-flight and died of COVID-19 were given measly $200 gift voucher as a 'thank you' from the airline. Tony Aldapa and Steven Chang were compensated after the EMTs spent more than 45 minutes giving first aid to Isaias Hernandez, who had coronavirus. Hernandez had collapsed mid-flight after suffering acute respiratory failure while traveling from Orlando to Los Angeles on December 14.  Hernandez died in a Louisiana hospital after the plane made an emergency landing in New Orleans. Aldapa has since received a phone call from an airline representative who let him know he'd be receiving the $200 voucher by email, he told TMZ. He added that the rep did not mention the man who died from COVID-19 in the call. When reached by DailyMail.com, Aldapa said 'it was a crazy experience. But I have no comment on the voucher situation.'  Tony Aldapa and Steven Chang and an ICU nurse

President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida threatened with $15,000-per-violation coronavirus fines after New Year's Eve party videos show unmasked crowd on dance floor as rapper Vanilla Ice performs

President Donald Trump's luxury Mar-a-Lago resort has been slapped with a warning from Palm Beach County after a viral New Year's Eve video showed a mostly unmasked crowd partying on the dance-floor.  County officials sent a letter addressed to Bernd Lembcke, Mar-a-Lago's executive vice president and managing director, on Tuesday that cited 'a breakdown in enforcement of the mask orders that led to almost the entire room of guests being without masks during the later evening activities.'  The fines, if violations are found in the future, could reach $15,000 per infraction, the county warned in the letter.  The New Year's Eve video, which was widely circulated on social media, showed around 500 guests at the $1000 ticket event, including the president's sons Eric and Don Jr., partying to musical guests including 90s rapper Vanilla Ice, Beach Boys co-founder Mike Love and singer Taylor Dayne.   President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, pictured in 2019

Tony Blair delivers brutal verdict on Scottish Labour saying ex-Tory leader Ruth Davidson was the only effective opposition to the rampant SNP in the past decade

Tony Blair delivered a brutal verdict on Scottish Labour today saying ex-Tory leader Ruth Davidson has been the only effective opposition to the SNP for a decade. In a devastating attack, the former PM lashed out at the way Nicola Sturgeon had been given a free run to push for breaking up the UK.  He warned that the independence issue was now 'centre stage' again due to Labour's slump north of the border - with just one MP now compared to dozens up to 2015.    The swipe came after Scottish Labour was plunged into fresh turmoil with the resignation of its leader just months ahead of Holyrood elections. Corbyn ally Richard Leonard fell on his sword after months of tensions with Keir Starmer and other senior figures.  Asked about devolution at a Chatham House event today, Mr Blair said: 'I think... what has put Scottish independence back centre-stage again are two things. In a devastating attack, Tony Blair lashed out at the way Nicola Sturgeon had been given a free run to

Florida substitute Teacher is FIRED for 'telling her students that the Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol were paid Antifa members'

A Florida substitute teacher has been fired after allegedly telling her students that the Capitol riots were paid Antifa members. In a video taken by a student from the back of the teacher's class and posted to Instagram and shared by an account called 'Know your racists', the teacher can be heard ranting to the class about last week's Capitol riots. She falsely claims that it was members of Antifa - not Trump's MAGA supporters - who started the Capitol riots on January 6, despite the conspiracy theory alleging Antifa's involvement being debunked by the FBI and politicians on both sides. According to the video's caption, the incident took place during a language arts class at Bok Academy in Lake Wales, Florida.  The principal of the school Dr. Damien Moses told TMZ that the teacher in the video had bee dismissed.  He said: 'We met with her and she has been dismissed not only from our school, but also from the Lake Wales Charter School System.'  The s
