Virginia cops arrest 2 suspects in murder of married couple

Fairfax County, VA -- Police have arrested two young men suspected of killing a married couple, both military veterans and physicians, on Wednesday morning. They are facing a total of eight felony charges including murder in Springfield, Virginia.

D’Angelo Strand, 19, of Fort Washington, Maryland, and Ronnie Marshall, 20, were arrested Thursday, in connection with the death of Edward McDaniel Jr., 55, and his wife, Brenda McDaniel, 63, both of Springfield.

Police said that the men were co-workers of a relative of the victims.

Earlier Thursday, investigators said they had found a "vehicle of interest" connected to the case after a local resident called in a tip. At that time, they said they took an unnamed person of interest into custody. They said the vehicle was a key to their investigation and asked the community for help finding it. On Thursday around 7:30 a.m. they got a tip that the car was at a business in Lorton, VA.

The cops found the car and took the operator, Strand, into custody and charged him with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

At 2 p.m. police spotted Marshall in Alexandria and arrested him, charging him with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, just like they did with his buddy.

Law enforcement officials said that they believe the shooting on Wednesday was a "follow-up and related to the interactions Monday." Police Chief Kevin Davis said they know for certain that at least on of the two suspects was at the McDaniel home on Monday.

Davis said they believe the motive was a dispute and now they're trying to determine what it was about. 

Maj. Ed O’Carroll, bureau chief of Major Crimes Cyber and Forensics for Fairfax County police, said the investigation is ongoing. 

“As of this moment, we have not located the firearm, but we have a lot of work to do. I mentioned the vehicle that’s now in our possession. We got a lot of things to follow up on. We want that firearm … This case does not close with these two arrests and these multiple charges. In some aspects, it’s just beginning,” O’Carroll said.

Neither Strand nor Marshall are members of the NRA nor are they lawful owners of any firearms. The Second Amendment has nothing to do with this case, but the fact that All Lives Matter does.

NBC 5 political reporter Mary Ann Ahern made the initial allegation on Twitter, writing: “As ⁦ @chicagosmayor ⁩ reaches her two year midway point as mayor, her spokeswoman says Lightfoot is granting 1 on 1 interviews – only to Black or Brown journalists.”

Chicago PBS news anchor Paris Schultz responded: “I was told the same thing.”

Chicago PBS political reporter said that she could “confirm” what Ahern was alleging.

Lightfoot’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire or Fox News.

Australian political commentator Rita Panahi responded to the allegations by writing on Twitter: “More ‘anti-racist’ racism. Almost amusing how regressive race-obsession is celebrated among the Left.”

“Racism in the name of wokeism is still racism,” another commentator said. Another added, “So wouldn’t that make her a racist?”

Progressive writer Zaid Jilani wrote: “Is she going to do some kinda DNA test to assure she upholds this rule?”

“It is unclear when such a practice was enacted and if it only applies to local reporters, particularly after her MSNBC appearance with Stephanie Ruhle on Monday,” Fox News reported. “During her MSNBC interview, Lightfoot told Ruhle she would ‘encourage’ Chicago residents to continue wearing masks despite the new CDC guidance allowing those with the coronavirus vaccine to go without them.”

“I know for me personally, I’m going to continue to wear a mask in public and I’m going to encourage others to do so,” Lightfoot told Ruhle. “We’ve got to make sure that people are continuing to follow the public health guidance that has gotten us this far, and masks, I think, are a big and important part of that.”

Lightfoot said on Tuesday afternoon that her decision to continue to encourage people to wear masks was not based on distrust of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“But I think their guidance last week regarding masks has people confused…We need clarification,” Lightfoot said. “We still have a long way to go to hit the critical mass (of vaccinations) or herd immunity. I don’t want people to have false confidence.”

“To say, ‘If you’re vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask,’ that’s great. But what about all of the other people who are out there that aren’t vaccinated?” Lightfoot added. “There’s no way to know that. So I think for the time being, most people are gonna continue to wear masks outside of their homes.”

Virginia. rape suspect kills accuser after he's freed over Covid fears

A Virginia man accused of rape was released from jail because of concerns of the coronavirus. Instead of being grateful for the humanity he was given, he went and killed the woman who had accused him of the rape, according to police.

The Washington Post first reported that Ibrahim E. Bouaichi shot and killed the woman in late July after his April 9th release, the Alexandria police told the newspaper.

The victim, Karla Elizabeth Dominguez Gonzales testified against Bouaichi last December in Alexandria District Court and he was charged with rape, strangulation and abduction.

He was jailed without bond in Alexandria – until the Chinese Communist Wuhan coronavirus arrived in the US.

Bouaichi’s lawyers argued that he should be freed awaiting trial because the virus endangered inmates and their attorneys. He was released on a $25,000 bond over the objections of a prosecutor. Neither his lawyers nor the judge were charged with releasing a dangerous man who went on and committed murder because there is no accountability.

Circuit Court Judge Nolan Dawkins released Bouaichi on the condition that he only leave his Maryland home to meet with his lawyers or pretrial services officials and not kill anyone. Dawkins, in other words, expected Bouaichi to be on his best behavior and the judge trusted him.

He broke the judge's trust and broke the judge's heart as Bouaichi is accused of killing Gonzalez on July 29.

On Tuesday, police published a statement stating they were looking for Bouaichi, whom they described as armed and dangerous. 

What nerve. Not only did he kill his poor rape victim, he broke his promise to remain at home and only leave to meet with his lawyers. I mean, c'mon, man. Who'd a guessed?

Authorities said Wednesday that federal marshals and Alexandria police spotted and pursued Bouaichi in Prince George’s County, where he crashed his vehicle and apparently shot himself in fear of catching the virus or something.

Meanwhile, Dawkins, who cannot suck enough as a judge, thankfully retired in June. He did not respond to the Washington Post’s request for comment nor to Brain Flushing's begging for a word or two as he said he is reclaiming his time.

Bouaichi’s attorneys, Manuel Leiva and Frank Salvato, said in a statement that they were sad for Bouaichi's folks and Ms. Gonzales' too. 

Consider following Brain Flushings, it's free and worth every penny. And remember, every time you click on an ad, an angel gets its wings and a liberal sheds a tear.

WaPo links Scalise shooter to conservative radio host--online outrage ensues

The leftist Washington Post caught a lot of flack on social media over a propaganda article that seems to blame a conservative Illinois 'shock jock' for the shooting rampage by a Trump-hating, Bernie Sanders volunteer that targeted GOP congressmen at a Virginia baseball practice.

The extremely long and bias piece takes aim at Bob Romanik, a foul-mouthed bile spewer on the AM dial in Belleville, Ill., the same hometown as the shooter, James Hodgkinson.

So rather than admitting the guy hated the GOP and everything Trump, the stretched reality. "What's the point of this?" Katherine Miller of Buzz Feed asked on Twitter. "The shooter hated Trump and there's no indication in the story he listened to this pro-Trump host."

Washington Examiner political reporter Byron York tweeted: "Revision of the year: WP suggests, without evidence, Alexandria shooter was inspired by right-wing bigoted radio talker."

"Devoted Bernie supporter shoots up baseball field of Republicans. Washington Post blames pro Trump talk radio in his hometown for it," Heat Street writer Stephen Miller tweeted.

In fact, the article by Peter Holley is so left-wing biased, he said that Hodgkinson "shot foour people at a congressional baseball practice" in Virginia--BUT THEN NEVER IDENTIFIED THE VICTIMS!

The left still is too stupid to get it--they will continue to lose elections if they refuse to stop the fake news.

Person charged with giving top-secret docs to China.

Alleged human excrement

A Virginia traitor, Kevin Patrick Mallory, 60, was arrested Thursday at his home in Leesburg, Virginia. He has been charged with espionage for transmitting top-secret documents to Chinese officials.

The scum wafer is to appear in U.S. District Court in Alexandria.

Mallory is a self-employed consultant, a US Army veteran and a POS. The charges involve gathering or delivering defense information to aid a foreign government and for making material false statements under the federal Espionage Act, something that Hillary Clinton was able to get away with based on her political connections.

Malloryis fluent in Mandarin and traveled to Shanghai in April. He was caught with $16,500 in his carry-on bags when he returned to O'Hare International Airport. He failed to declare the money.

In May, the FBI interviewed him and he admitted he met with two people from a Chinese think tank, whom he believed were Chinese intelligence agents. He told the FBI they gave him a special communications device for transmitting documents. 

He said in the affidavit that the only documents he transferred were two unclassified blacked out security classification documents that he had written on U.S. policy matters.

When the transmitted documents were analyzed, it showed that two of them were classified as "secret," and one of them was "top secret."

Court records indicate the alleged traitor worked as a special agent for the Diplomatic Security Service at the State Department. It is not yet known if Hillary Clinton was involved, but it isn't out of the realm of possibility.

If convicted, Mallory could face life in prison, and if certain conditions are met, even face the death penalty. But the chances of the latter being meted out are as likely as Hillary Clinton being tried and convicted of the same charge when she wittingly used a private email server to transmit and receive classified information (that went beyond "top secret" in the form of "Special Access Programs").

Let's wait and watch what happens in both cases.

UPDATE: House Majority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise shot

(Photo: Fox News)

DEVELOPING -- House Majority Whip Steve Scalise has been shot in the hip and is expected to survive. 

UPDATE: Rep. Scalise is currently under going surgery and is in stable condition. 

President Trump has just announced that the assailant has died of his wounds.

The identity of the shooter is James Hodgkinson. It is unknown if he was acting alone and security in D.C. is at 911 levels. It is expected, but not yet confirmed, that the shooting was politically motivated.

President Trump has called the Steve Scalise's wife and will be speaking to the public.

The shooting is reported to have begun around 7:15 a.m. ET and lasted about ten minutes. Others in Scalise's security detail were also shot.

Scalise was preparing for tomorrow's baseball game and was at a ball field in Alexandria, Virginia. This is an annual game between  and is taken quite seriously.

Scalise became Majority Whip last year in a special election. 

Rep. Ron DeSantis was also at the game. He said someone approached him and asked them if they were Democrats or Republicans.

There were at least ten staffers at the game.

The shooter was taken down by a security agent who was himself shot by the shooter. It is believed the shooter has been shot and has been taken to a local hospital.

ISIS says it bombed 2 Christian churches in Egypt

Palm Sunday is just too intolerable for ISIS to bear without killing Christians who simply want to worship and celebrate the holy day. 

The terror group claimed responsibility for two Palm Sunday bombing attacks at Coptic Christian churches in Egypt that killed 37 people and injured over 100. 

The town of Tanta on the Nile Delta was where the first bombing took place, killing 26 and injuring 71 others, according to officials.

A second bombing was later reported in Alexandria where at least 11 are dead and 35 injured, but the death toll may rise based on the seriousness of the injured.

Initially, no one claimed responsibility for the attacks that come a week before Easter.

Ahmad Deif, provincial governor told state-run Nile TV channel that "Either a bomb was planted or someone blew himself up."

The Tanta attack was the last in a series of attacks on Egypt's Christian minority, which accounts for 10 percent of the population. They are repeatedly targeted by Islamic extremists because parts of the Qu'ran ask Muslims to wage war against Christians and Jews, "wherever you find them."

Pope Francis is due to visit Egypt in a few weeks.

Grand Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb who heads Egypt's Al-Azhar, a leading center of learning in Sunni Islam, condemned the attack. He called it a "despicable terrorist bombing that targeted the lives of innocents."

Unfortunately, certain parts of the Qur'an do not see Christians and Jews as 'innocent' and thus, are fair game for their bloodlust. 

One local ISIS affiliate claimed a suicide bombing in a Cairo church that killed 30 people, mostly women, and a string of killings in the Sinai Peninsula. The group is threatening more attacks.

Hill and Mo

Christians are fleeing to safer places just as the Jews had to flee most of the Middle East in order to survive the rampant anti-Semitism as seen in certain parts of the Qur'an.

Mo in the slammer

Another Islamic militant group called Liwa al-Thawra claimed responsibility for an April 1st bomb attack at a police training center in Tanta, which wounded 16 people. This group is believed to be linked to Obama's buddies--the Muslim Brotherhood. They mainly target cops and security forces, much like BLM, which may be why he's 'down' with them.

Ever since Mohamed Morsi was overthrown in 2013, Egypt has experienced a wave of Islamic attacks inspired by certain parts of the Qu'ran.

Teachers Playing Hooky

Self-perceived, non-essential women teachers in at least three states are getting out of work today to participate in "A Day Without A Woman" strike. Organizations are urging their non-essential women to stay home because nobody will miss them at their unimportant jobs.

The march comes on International Women's Day and was organized before the election of President Trump. It is ostensibly a gender equality demonstration, which is most obvious in the United States and Canada, but it's never enough if you can make somehow it about Trump and blame him for something.

Although the march is inspired by women's protests in countries that actually have gender inequality, such as every Muslim nation on earth, critics say it is meant to denounce Trump's presidency.

The strike, which will affect the education of many thousands of school children, (no big deal) was created by the organizers of the Women's March on Washington in January, which drew thousands in protest of the democratic US election. 

This march is supported by leftist organizations such as MoveOn.org and Amnesty International, and by the abortion factory, Planned Parenthood.

On Monday, school officials in Alexandria, Va.; Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School District in N.C., and New York announced they are canceling classes in anticipation of staff shortchanging their students by attending the event.

The conservative women's group, Concerned Women of America (CWA) and others, criticized the event as misguided and unrepresentative of many women who think for themselves.

The CWA's website posted: "The U.S. has the highest proportion of women in senior management positions (43 percent) of any country in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (women comprise 47 percent of the U.S. labor force); the U.S. was ranked eighth globally in gender equality by the World Economic Forum; 24 percent of working American women are in professional fields (compared to only 16 percent of working American men); 46 percent of American firms are owned or co-owned by women."

They added that the glass ceiling was more a perception than a reality. 

The school closing announcements had many parents running around to make child care arrangements as many of these mothers had to go to work at their jobs, which they obviously thought were more important than attending an anti-democratically-elected-president demonstration. But those who were unable to get childcare had to miss a day's work to stay home with their kids.

Yesterday, the Alexandria City Public School district's Facebook page was used as a forum for parents to share their thoughts on the matter.

One parent, identified as Amanda Dehn Bowman wrote that she was "disappointed" in the district's decision to "cave to the massive temper-tantrum" from leftist groups.

"The only people who are going to be affected by this are women--poor women who cannot afford to miss wages or pay for day care," Bowman wrote. For parents unable to afford child care, she offered to baby-sit their children for free.

Heather Ignatius took a different stance: "I'm really proud that so many teachers want to participate in the Day Without A Woman. It takes a lot of courage. So glad these women are teaching my daughter," she wrote, obviously unaware of the definition of the word 'courage' and unaware that these women are not teaching her daughter--they're playing hooky.

Hillary may go to prison for server when chickens darken the sky

Marcel Lehel Lazar (aka Guccifer) told Fox News in a series of interviews that hacking into Hillary Clinton's private server kept in a bathroom in Colorado, was as easy as flushing a toilet. He also claimed to have spoken with the FBI in depth on the plane when he was extradited from Romania on the journey to Virginia.

Lazar told Fox News that "They came after me, a guy from the FBI, from the State Department." He went on to tell Fox News that they interviewed him for "80 minutes" and it was "recorded." He said that he took his own notes.

Lazar was flown to the U.S.A. to face unrelated cyber-crime charges.

Another meeting is expected this week at the Alexandria, Va., detention center where Guccifer is being held. He will meet with the FBI, the U.S. attorney and his court-appointed lawyer. If you're in the area, try the El Paso Mexican Restaurant. Seriously.

Muy bien.

So if this Guccifer dude is telling the truth, and it's certainly possible that he's lying through his teeth, Hillary Clinton will be in even deeper poo than before. But people like the Clintons don't tend to be held to the same standards of regular folks.

They believe the laws do not apply to them, only to the peasants.
