Volusia County Proud Boy arrest: FBI won t tolerate violent actions
When Joseph Randall Biggs planned to rally at the U.S. Capitol, he talked of blending into the crowd.
He didn t want to look like a member of the Proud Boys, the nationalist, Western Chauvinist, pro-Trump organization for men that has engaged in violence at protests in recent years. The Proud Boys have sometimes been known to wear yellow and black. You won t see us. You ll even think we are you.. We are going to smell like you, move like you and look like you. The only thing we ll do that s us is think like us! Biggs posted on his Parler social-media feed.

House minority leader Kevin McCarthy has expressed concerns about a vote in favor of former US president’s impeachment by House Rep. Liz Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney.
“Look, I support her, but I also have concerns. She took a position as a No. 3 member in conference. She never told me ahead of time. One thing about leadership, if we re going to work together, we should understand. We know that this is going to become a difficulty,” McCarthy said in an interview with Greta Van Susteren aired Sunday, the Hill reported.
Authorities in New York City say the co-owner of a bar that was defying coronavirus restrictions was arrested early Sunday after running over a deputy with his car. NBC New York s Tracie Strahan reports.
Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon had convened a grand jury for the case and that grand jury found sufficient evidence to charge Presti only with the licensing-related offenses. The bar had been closed multiple times and its license temporarily suspended because of the ongoing COVID protocol breaches.
In a statement Friday, McMahon said he couldn t discuss details on the grand jury proceedings, but could assure Staten Islanders that we do intend to pursue those charges, and will seek to hold this defendant accountable under the law.

The move represents another set-back for the beleaguered Canadian energy industry, kills thousands of jobs and marks an early bump in Biden’s relationship with Canada, a key trading partner. Biden had long promised to scrap the permit.
