JUNEAU, Alaska (KTUU) - A South African citizen was arrested by the FBI in Juneau Tuesday after he allegedly stabbed a cruise ship passenger and assaulted several employees who attempted to stop him.

A press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Alaska said 35-year-old Ntando Sogoni was employed on the Norwegian Cruise Lines ship Encore and was observed by other staff attempting to launch one of the ship’s lifeboats. He was then taken by security to the ship’s medical facility for an evaluation.

In the medical center, Sogoni reportedly physically attacked a nurse and a security guard before entering an examination room and attacking a woman there and stabbing her in the arms, hand, and face with a pair of medical scissors. When two security guards intervened, court documents allege he stabbed one in the head and one in the back.

Once he was under authority’s control, Sogoni was held in the ship’s jail before being taken into custody and being charged with assault with a deadly weapon in maritime and territorial jurisdiction. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. A federal district judge will determine total sentencing.

I've got to read The Art of the Deal sometime, because Trump has masterfully used its principles to live rent free in your head.

He said it. Besides I regret voting for this Populist twice.

Found to be teaching 'anti-Semitic hate'

A United Nations entity that has been caught with ties to Hamas, the terror organization based in Gaza whose soldiers invaded Israel last Oct. 7 and butchered some 1,200 civilians, often in horrific fashion, should be totally defunded.

That's the intent of a campaign that already involves nearly half of the American states.

A report from the Washington Examiner explains that Brenna Bird, Iowa's attorney general, Alan Wilson, South Carolina's legal chief, and 22 other state officials have sent a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and others asking them to "stop funding antisemitic education efforts" by the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.

Word of ties between UNRWA and Hamas several months ago prompted the U.S. and other nations to suspend funding, and Congress recently approved a no-money provision for the organization until March 2025.

A 48-year-old Chicago man has been arrested after allegedly kidnapping a 15-year-old girl and holding her captive in his basement for months, where he repeatedly drugged and raped her.

Derek Swift, who has 52 prior arrests, was subsequently charged with aggravated kidnapping, kidnapping, criminal sexual assault, and aggravated criminal sexual abuse.


According to CBS News, the victim was walking home on December 6, 2023 when Swift pulled up beside her and offered a ride. Once inside the vehicle, he allegedly forced her to drink alcohol and take pills.

After falling unconscious, the girl woke up in Swift's bed; she was naked.

Over the following five months, he allegedly locked her in the basement of his home on Chicago's south side and continued the cycle of abuse.

She was given a phone, but instructed only to use it when Swift called. He threatened to kill her if she dared phone or text anyone else to ask for help.

Well, are her supporters then going to vote for Brandon??

As a Haley supporter, I'm not going to vote for either of these old two farts. Besides Trump said he doesn't want my vote anyway.
