SYRACUSE â A Syracuse man is facing federal charges in connection with his involvement in last weekâs riots at the U.S. Capitol building, according to the FBI in Syracuse.
Albert A. Ciarpelli, 56, was charged Tuesday with federal misdemeanors of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, as well as violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
According to documents filed this week in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, the FBI in Syracuse was notified Jan. 8 of Mr. Ciarpelliâs alleged involvement in the Capitol riots that left five people dead.
On Jan. 6, thousands of supporters of President Donald J. Trump breached the Capitol building in an attempt to stop the certification of the Electoral College votes, which ultimately confirmed President-elect Joseph R. Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election.

QAnon, the right-wing conspiracy theory community, had another bad day on Thursday.

They told themselves that “the storm” the day of reckoning, in QAnon lore, when the global cabal would be brought to justice would take place on March 4. That is the day that U.S. presidents were inaugurated until 1933, when the 20th Amendment was ratified and the date was moved to January.

HOUSTON, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) Governor of the U.S. state of New Mexico Michelle Lujan Grisham has issued a state of emergency due to the ongoing and pervasive threat of riots and insurrection, local media reported on Thursday.

Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala D. Harris, said the executive order.

Military experts call hypersonic warheads the next big thing in intercontinental warfare. They see the emerging arms, which can deliver nuclear or conventional munitions, as zipping along at up to five miles a second while zigzagging through the atmosphere to outwit early-warning satellites and some interceptors. The superfast weapons, experts say, lend themselves to surprise attacks.
