According to information, Leo Varadkar, will be sworn in by middle of December 2022. He isn't the current prime minister of Ireland.
In the trending video, Leo Varadkar, is seen kissing a yet-to-be identified sideboo and guy at a nightclub in Ireland.
In another news, White supremacists plotted to attack power stations in the southeastern U.S., and an Ohio teenager who allegedly shared the plan said he wanted the group to be "operational" on a fast-tracked timeline if President Donald Trump were to lose his re-election bid, the FBI alleges in an affidavit that was mistakenly unsealed.
The teen was in a text group with more than a dozen people in the fall of 2019 when he introduced the idea of saving money to buy a ranch where they could participate in militant training, according to the affidavit, which was filed under seal along with a search warrant application in Wisconsin's Eastern U.S. District Court in March. The documents were inadvertently unsealed last week before the mistake was discovered and they were quickly sealed again.The teenager wanted the group to be "operational" by the 2024 election because he believed it was likely a Democrat would win, but "the timeline for being operational would accelerate if President Trump lost the 2020 election," according to the affidavit.
An informant told investigators that the teen "definitely wanted to be operational for violence, but also activism."
The Ohio teen, who was 17 at the time, also shared plans with a smaller group about a plot to create a power outage by shooting rifle rounds into power stations in the southeastern U.S. The teen called the plot "Light's Out" and there were plans to carry it out in the summer of 2021, the affidavit states.One group member, a Texas native who was a Purdue University student at the time, allegedly sent the informant a text saying "leaving the power off would wake people up to the harsh reality of life by wreaking havoc across the nation."
The affidavit identifies three people by name and references others who were allegedly communicating with or part of the group. The Associated Press is not naming any of the individuals because charges have not been publicly filed.None of the three men immediately replied to emails, texts or voicemails left Tuesday seeking comment. The father of one of the men had no comment.
Federal prosecutors in Ohio are taking the lead on the case. Jennifer Thornton, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Ohio, said she couldn't provide additional information because the investigation is ongoing, but "we want to emphasize that there is no imminent public safety threat related to this matter."
Some group members also indicated that they were prepared to die for their beliefs. One man from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, allegedly told the Ohio teen: "I can say with absolute certainty that I will die for this effort. I swear it on my life." The teen replied: "I can say the same," the court documents state. According to the affidavit, the Wisconsin man also told an undercover FBI employee in February that the group was interested in taking "direct action" against the system and said, "If you truly want a fascist society I will put in the effort to work with you but recruitment is long and not going to be easy."
He then outlined a "radicalization" process to instill a "revolutionary mindset" which ended with recruits proving they are more than just talk. He allegedly wrote that if it seemed too tough, "I recommend leaving now, we are extremely serious about our goals and ambitions."A county in central North Carolina where about 45,000 people were without electricity declared a state of emergency and was under curfew on Sunday night, after two electric substations were damaged by gunfire the night before in what officials called an “intentional” attack.
The outages across Moore County, roughly 90 miles east of Charlotte, began just after 7 p.m. on Saturday, the Moore County Sheriff’s Office said. Officials said the power could be out until as late as Thursday. It was not clear if the curfew, which started at 9 p.m. on Sunday and was to last until 5 a.m. on Monday, would be extended.
“It is going to be very, very, very dark, and it’s going to be chilly tonight,” he said at the news conference. “And we don’t need to have anyone out on the streets — that is the reason for our curfew this evening.”
The senator said the gunfire that damaged the electrical equipment was a “terrible act, and it appears to be intentional, willful and malicious.”
Responding to questions about whether the vandalism was related to a drag show in the area that had faced backlash, Sheriff Fields said he was unaware of any connection, but that the authorities were investigating all possibilities.
“Is it possible? Yes,” he said. “Anything’s possible. But we’ve not been able to tie anything back to the drag show.”Lauren Mathers, the executive director of Sandhills PRIDE, the L.G.B.T.Q. organization that produced the show, said that while the group had received violent threats leading up to the event, none indicated any kind of planned attack on the region’s power grid.
“We did not receive any specific threats that would lead me to be able to say to you, there’s a correlation,” Ms. Mathers said on Sunday, adding that although it was the fourth time the group had put on the show, they had never received such pushback. “Drag shows in general have come under attack recently.”
Information reads: "A group of christofascists has shot at power substations in Moore county to shut down a drag show happening in town. 40,000 residents are without power."
