A Republican county official in northern Michigan has sparked outrage after showing off his rifle during an online meeting where he came under criticism for allowing far-right extremist group 'Proud Boys' to speak at another meeting. Ron Clous, a newly re-elected member of the Grand Traverse County Board of Commissioners, was at home during the livestreamed meeting on Wednesday, the Traverse City Record-Eagle reported. During a public comment period, a local woman, Kelli MacIntash, criticized the board for allowing self-described members of the 'Proud Boys' to speak at a commission meeting last year and urged commission Chairman Rob Hentschel to denounce them.  The neo-fascist group is known for engaging in violent clashes at political rallies and some of its members took part in the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol that left a police officer and four others dead.

His boat has been dismissed as a ‘corgi’ up against a ‘greyhound and two whippets’ and, having lost six consecutive races and scored ‘nul points’, the man dubbed Britain’s greatest sailor since Sir Francis Drake might not disagree. But this week, Sir Ben Ainslie, the most-decorated yachtsman in Olympic history — with four golds and a silver to his name — staged one of his legendary comebacks. Now, against all expectations, he and the ten-man crew aboard the £120 million monohull Britannia are in with a chance to do battle in the 36th America’s Cup, the 170-year-old sailing competition that this nation has never won. After those six defeats in the pre-Christmas warm-up event in New Zealand, Sir Ben and Ineos Team UK this week have stormed back into contention with four wins out of four in the Prada Cup, the contest to determine which team, Britain, Italy or America, will take on the holders, New Zealand, in the America’s Cup final in March — for a prize of $1 million (£730,000). If Brit

Deputies were called to the Port Charlotte Publix parking lot after receiving calls that 47-year-old Shane Gillis had been threatening his former boss A Florida man was detained in a Publix parking lot on Sunday after he repeatedly threatened his former boss over the phone before approaching authorities and his ex-employer with a Twisted Tea and a 28-inch metal pipe. The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office shared in a Tuesday Facebook that deputies were called to the Port Charlotte scene after receiving calls that 47-year-old Shane Gillis had been threatening his former boss. As deputies arrived to the parking lot located at 24051 Peachland Blvd, Gillis was overheard on the phone asserting that he 'had something' for his ex-employer, and was on his way back to Mr. Mobile RV Repair.  Gillis had been fired from his job there 'earlier this week,' authorities told the Charlotte Sun.  Deputies also said that during one call, Gillis reportedly told his ex-boss: 'I'm

Schools could remain shut until after the Easter holidays unless virus cases fall dramatically in the coming weeks, it was feared last night. Education Secretary Gavin Williamson yesterday said he still hoped schools might be able to return after the February half-term. But with Covid cases still at high levels, Downing Street refused to be drawn on the likely restart for millions of children stuck trying to learn from home. And a government source acknowledged it was becoming 'increasingly difficult' to see how schools could be reopened next month, given the state of the pandemic. Schools could remain shut until after the Easter holidays unless virus cases fall dramatically in the coming weeks, it was feared last night  During a round of media interviews yesterday, Mr Williamson insisted there would be no repeat of the shambolic episode at the start of this month when schools were ordered to close just one day after returning from the Christmas break. He said schools would get

Britain recorded another 1,290 coronavirus deaths and 37,892 new infections on Thursday. Fatalities increased by just 3.4 per cent on the same day last week and marked a steep decline on the deadliest days ever: 1,820 on Wednesday and 1,610 on Tuesday. In a further positive sign, the number of new cases declined by more than a fifth on the same day last week and were slightly down from the 38,905 on Wednesday. It offers hope that Britain's grim death rate might soon drop too.  Deaths lag behind cases because it takes about a month between catching and falling seriously ill, which means the effects of the January lockdown might only become evident next week.   NHS chief for London Dr Vin Diwakar told the Downing Street press briefing: 'The situation in our hospitals in the NHS remains really precarious.  'In London, more than half of all patients in hospital are being treated for coronavirus and sadly over 1,000 patients died in hospital in London just last week, every singl

David Pasulka, 61, was arrested this week and charged with eight new felony counts A prominent Chicago family law attorney who was charged last summer with sexually assaulting a colleague has been accused of doing the same thing to two other women. David Pasulka, 61, was arrested this week and charged with eight felony counts including aggravated sexual assault and sexual abuse after the two new women came forward, cops said. A spokesperson for the department told DailyMail.com that a total of six women have now come forward with allegations against Pasulka. Four women had previously accused him of sex crimes from incidents between April 2012 and October 2017. The new charges stem from the alleged assaults of the two new women at his law firm from early 2017 until as late as 2019.  On Wednesday, Pasulka appeared before Judge Susana Ortiz who set his new bail amount at $100,000. He was already out on bond in the initial case and was released from custody after posting the new amount, ac
