Yunqing Jian (33) and Zunyong Liu (34), citizens of the PRC, were charged with conspiracy, smuggling goods into the US, false statements, and visa fraud. The FBI arrested Jian for allegedly smuggling into the US a fungus called Fusarium graminearum, a potential agroterrorism weapon. This noxious fungus causes "head blight," a disease of wheat, barley, maize, and rice, and is responsible for billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide each year. In humans and livestock the toxins cause vomiting, liver damage, and reproductive defects. Jian received Chinese government funding to research this pathogen. Jian's boyfriend, Liu, works at a Chinese university where he conducts research on the same fungus. He allegedly smuggled Fusarium graminearum into the US so that he could conduct research on it with Jian at the University of Michigan. read more


Donald Trump Jr. is launching an online firearm retailer, 'GrabAGun,' which he and his partners have described as the "Amazon of guns." The platform aims to provide a streamlined shopping experience for firearms and accessories while adhering to federal safety regulations. "There's women coming into the marketplace for self-defense," the obnoxious Dauphin said. "There's a younger generation that's shifting to the conservative side that understands the need to exercise their Second Amendment." 'GrabAGun' will allow customers to purchase firearms online, though federal law requires the weapons to be picked up from authorized and licensed dealers, where standard background checks will be conducted. However, accessories such as scopes and ammunition can be shipped directly to consumers' homes. read more

Patrick Waite (77) calmly called police moments after he allegedly shot his wife, mother-in-law, and two stepsons " killing three of them " to report the horrific crime. Waite is accused of methodically shooting his wife Alma (61) and her family, going from room to room to blast each victim in the Haubstadt Indiana home they shared. He is facing several murder charges. After he opened fire on all four victims, Waite called 911 to explain what he had done, where he would be when officers arrived, and where investigators could find the .45-caliber Smith & Wesson he used. "I shot them all. I'm certainly not proud of that fact," he said in a chilling but casual confession. The surviving stepson remains sedated in critical condition. Map of Indiana read more
