Chilling warning signs before ‘narcissistic’ trans dad ‘shot ex-wife and kids’ in hockey game bloodbath

The gunman who killed two people at a youth hockey game in Rhode Island appeared to post ominous warnings in the days before the deadly shooting.

An online profile that appears to belong to Robert Dorgan, 56, who also went by the name ‘Roberta Esposito‘, shared an eerie video of a woman running on a treadmill while loading ammunition magazines into a handgun and aiming. 

In another post on X, a profile for ‘Roberta Dorgano’ threatened to go ‘BERSERK’ while defending transgender Congresswoman Sarah McBride.

‘Keep bashing us,’ they wrote Sunday. ‘But do not wonder why we Go BESERK.’

Just hours after the shooting, a woman who claimed to be Dorgan’s daughter claimed the gunman ‘has mental health issues’. 

‘He shot my family, and he’s dead now,’ the woman told WCVB.

Dorgan’s wife, Rhonda, who was reportedly killed in the shooting, claimed on divorce documents that her husband displayed ‘narcissistic and personality disorder traits’. 

Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said Monday night that Dorgan entered the Dennis M Lynch Arena to watch a high school hockey match. The attacker then opened fire at around 2.30pm.

Rhode Island Transgender Hockey Game Shooter Identified — Replied to Alex Jones About Trans People Going ‘Fkn Berserk’ Day Before Family Massacre

The transgender man who shot and killed three members of his family during a high school hockey game at Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, on Monday has been identified as Robert K. Dorgan, 56, of North Providence, who went by the name “Roberta Esposito,” or “Roberta Dorgano,” and identified as a “woman.”

Dorgan was the parent of a player on the North Providence High School team.

The biological male posted on X the day before the shooting, writing to Alex Jones about how low tolerance for transgender people is why “trans ppl go fkn BERSERK.”

Dorgan wrote, “stfu Alex dont be so butt hurtt over somebody different. then wonder why trans ppl go fkn BERSERK,” in response to Jones calling a photo of Rep. Tim McBride, who is also transgender, “so creepy.”

The killer had also replied to actor Kevin Sorbo, saying, “Keep bashing us. but do not wonder why we Go BERSERK.”

Jury Convicts Chinese National in $2M Scheme Targeting Elderly Bank Customers

A federal jury has convicted a Chinese national of using his role as a bank employee to access confidential client information to target elderly customers and create a scheme to steal their money and then use it for his personal benefit.

After a five-day trial in front of U.S. District Judge J. Philip Calabrese, Yue Cao, 36, was found guilty on 10 counts of bank fraud, four counts of aggravated identity theft, and one count of money laundering.

Court documents and evidence presented before the jury showed that Cao was a quant analytics manager at an Ohio-based bank who was hired to help protect customers from fraud. 

Instead, from about 2022 to 2023, he used his access to steal the identities and money of elderly customers who had not enrolled in the bank’s online services. 

He did this by first using an offshore service to create email addresses in the names of more than 100 victims. 

Then, he used these emails to enroll the victims in online banking—all without their knowledge or authorization. Additionally, Cao directed the victims’ bank statements and other notifications to the email addresses he created. Because he controlled their online banking, he transferred the victims’ money directly to his personal bank and credit card accounts.

He also used the victims’ identities to open accounts in their names without their knowledge and transferred their money into them. Some of these were brokerage accounts, where he then engaged in options trading using their money. He even arranged trades between the unauthorized accounts he set up and his own brokerage account.

AOC Widely Mocked After She Faceplants on the World Stage in Munich, Says Venezuela is “Below the Equator”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faceplanted on the world stage this weekend while discussing foreign policy and the capture of Nicolas Maduro during remarks at the Munich Security Conference.

Many speculated that AOC’s decision to speak on foreign policy at the Munich Security Conference was her way to signal a possible 2028 run.

AOC made a series of blunders during her remarks in Munich, but she was widely mocked after she claimed Venezuela is “below the equator.”

“Maduro canceled elections. He was an anti-democratic leader. That doesn’t mean that we can kidnap a head of state and engage in acts of war just because the nation is below the equator,” AOC said.

The crowd applauded.

“Hey AOC, Venezuela is entirely above the Equator,” Team Trump said.

“Apparently geography is not the bartender’s strong suit either,” an X user said.

“She must have gotten an education at the Quality Learing Center,” another X user said.

CNN Confronts Chuck Schumer on Voter ID

CNN pressed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) over his opposition to the SAVE Act and voter ID laws, noting that a clear majority of Americans support such measures. Schumer, however, maintained his position, arguing that the legislation amounts to “Jim Crow 2.0” and warning that millions of Americans could lose access to the ballot box if the SAVE Act were enacted.

“About 83 percent of the American people, including majority Democrats, support voter ID laws,” CNN’s Jake Tapper said.

“The voter ID laws that…first, each state can have its own voter ID laws, and some do, and some don’t,” the Senate Minority Leader said. “But secondly, what they are proposing in this so-called SAVE Act is like Jim Crow 2.0. They make it so hard to get any kind of voter ID that more than 20 million legitimate people, mainly poorer people and people of color, will not be able to vote under this law.”

The SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) would overhaul federal voter registration by making proof of U.S. citizenship a requirement to vote, and by forcing states to run ongoing checks to remove illegal immigrants from voter rolls. The documentation requirements are standard, including options like a U.S. passport, U.S. birth certificate, and Certificates of Citizenship or Naturalization. However, Democrats have argued that some American citizens don’t have easy access to those documents, sidelining millions of American voters.

“We will not let it pass in the Senate,” he added. “We are fighting it tooth and nail. It’s an outrageous proposal that shows the sort of political bias of the MAGA right. They don’t want poor people to vote. They don’t want people of color to vote because they often don’t vote for them.”

Florida Marijuana Campaign Asks Supreme Court To Restore 71,000 Legalization Ballot Signatures State Officials Tossed

The attorney general of Florida and several business and anti-marijuana groups are telling the state Supreme Court to block a cannabis legalization initiative, calling it “fatally flawed” and unconstitutional as advocates work against the clock to qualify the measure for the November ballot.

In a series of briefs submitted to the court on Friday, Attorney General James Uthmeier (R), Drug Free America Foundation, Florida Chamber of Commerce, Florida Legal Foundation, Associated Industries of Florida and a former judge made similar arguments contesting the initiative from Smart and Safe Florida.

The parties generally contend that the proposal is written in a way that’s affirmatively misleading, runs counter to federal law prohibiting cannabis and violates the state’s single subject rule for ballot initiatives.

The attorney general called the measure “fatally flawed,” arguing that it “misleads voters in a way designed to garner greater approval, is flatly invalid under the federal Constitution, and violates the single-subject requirement. The Court should therefore strike the proposed amendment from the ballot.”

Each of those reasons alone, the brief said, “warrants removal from the ballot.”

The attorney general’s office last month asked the state Supreme Court to review the constitutionality of the legalization initiative. The court accepted the request and set a schedule for state officials and the cannabis campaign to file briefs this month. Proponents of the measure have until January 12 to submit response briefs, then the opposition has until January 20 to reply.

The only Epstein property the FBI refuses to discuss as desert burial claims surface after girls were ‘strangled during sex’

Jeffrey Epstein‘s notorious properties from around the world were searched by the FBI after the financier’s 2019 death.

All except one, perhaps. 

The FBI has refused to comment on whether or not its agents searched Epstein’s New Mexico mansion, dubbed Zorro Ranch. 

The site was the venue for serious crimes including rape and murder, according to the Epstein files.

The pedophile ordered the burial of two ‘foreign girls’ near his ranch after they were strangled to death during ‘rough, fetish sex’, according to an email from the latest tranche of documents released by the Department of Justice.

The email was sent from an encrypted address of a person claiming to have worked for Epstein at Zorro to a man named Eddy Aragon on November 21, 2019, before it was forwarded to the FBI.

When the Daily Mail asked the FBI on Monday whether it ever searched the notorious ranch residence, a bureau spokesperson responded: ‘The FBI declines to comment.’

The FBI’s field office in Albuquerque, New Mexico, did not immediately respond to the Daily Mail’s request for comment. 

The FBI has also declined to answer the pressing question when asked by other outlets, raising questions about whether the New Mexico residence was ever investigated. 

‘Edward, This is sensitive, so it will be the first and last email depending on your discretion. You can choose to take it or trash it but this comes from a person that has been there and seen it all, as a former staff at the Zorro,’ the email states. 

‘What is damning about Jeffrey Epstein is yet to be written. Did you know somewhere in the hills outside the Zorro, two foreign girls were buried on orders of Jeffrey and Madam G? Both died by strangulation during rough, fetish sex.’ 

The sender also included links to videos which claimed to show Epstein having sex with minors, threesomes and sex with underage girls.

They then demanded a payment of one Bitcoin in return for the video and information.

The email was forwarded onto the FBI just three months after Epstein died while being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City.

Nearly half a dozen Epstein victims have alleged they were abused at the ranch.  

Months after Epstein’s death in federal custody in August 2019, the ranch had not been scoured by the FBI, according to a recently released email.

5,300-Year-Old Egyptian Artifact Confirms Existence of “Mechanically Sophisticated” Drilling Technology Before the Age of the Pharaohs

Close to a century ago, researchers unearthed a small, unusual metal object during excavations at a cemetery in Upper Egypt. Now, a reinvestigation into the curious find has identified it as the earliest known rotary drill ever found in association with ancient Egyptian archaeology.

The small artifact, which measures less than 64 millimeters across and weighs under two grams, is crafted from copper-alloy and dates to the late 4th millennium BCE, which coincides with Egypt’s Predynastic period, a remote era that predates the reign of the earliest pharaohs.

The remarkable discovery, which experts now characterize as “a mechanically sophisticated drilling tool,” was recently detailed in a study published in the journal Egypt and the Levant.

 An Ancient Curiosity Comes into Focus

The small artifact, retrieved from the burial of an ancient predynastic Egyptian man identified as Grave 3932, was first documented in the 1920s. At that time, the object was described as “a little awl of copper, with some leather thong wound round it,” a description that offered researchers little to go on as to what its potential use might have been.

Now, according to a team of archaeologists at Newcastle University, working in collaboration with the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, re-examination of the object under magnification has revealed wear patterns that are consistent with drilling devices from later periods in Egyptian history.

Specifically, the team points to evidence of edges rounded from wear, as well as striations and other features that are clear indicators of rotary motion.

“The ancient Egyptians are famous for stone temples, painted tombs, and dazzling jewelry, but behind those achievements lay practical, everyday technologies that rarely survive in the archaeological record,” said Dr. Martin Odler, a Visiting Fellow in Newcastle University’s School of History, Classics and Archaeology, in a statement.

According to Odler, the lead author of the recent study that reassessed the artifact, one of the most important technologies behind such famous achievements afforded us by the ancient Egyptians was the drill, which had uses in everything from woodwork to shaping stone for construction and the creation of decorative pieces.

Evidence of a Bowstring Emerges

Intriguingly, the early 20th-century references to “some leather thong” have proven correct, as the Newcastle team and their Italian collaborators say that six coils of a very fragile piece of leather cordage appear to represent clear evidence of a bowstring which would have been used to power the drill.

Such ancient bow drills served as an early form of rotary tool, which one could liken to an ancient counterpart to modern hand drills. To function, these bow drills featured a small length of leather wrapped around a shaft, which spins the drill very quickly as the string is moved back and forth.

Obama States Aliens are ‘Real’ in New Interview

Former President Barack Obama has stirred national intrigue surrounding extraterrestrial life, boldly stating in a recent podcast that aliens are indeed “real” —even if he hasn’t laid eyes on them himself.

During a wide-ranging interview with podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen, released Saturday (February 14), Obama didn’t shy away from the cosmic question. When asked if extraterrestrials exist, he replied simply, “They’re real, but I haven’t seen them.” In previous interviews, he confirmed there were indeed cases of anomalous aerial phenomena, or UAPs.

As to the decades-old conspiracy theories, Obama denied that Area 51 harbors alien secrets. “They’re not being kept at Area 51. There’s no underground facility —unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the President of the United States,” he quipped, leaving us to ponder the deeper mystery.

What’s your take on these presidential admissions? Share your thoughts with us on our Facebook page.

2/16/26 update: After the media frenzy over former President Obama’s remarks, he clarified his answer about aliens via Instagram: “I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!” More here.

Justice Department ‘Should Take About 20 Years’ To Reschedule Marijuana, GOP Congressman Says

The Justice Department should “take about 20 years” to finish the marijuana rescheduling process, a GOP congressman who staunchly opposes cannabis reform tells Marijuana Moment.

With the proposal to move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) still pending, Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) is in no rush to have DOJ see the process through—despite President Donald Trump’s December executive order directing the attorney general to quickly finalize the rule.

“Last I looked, it hasn’t been rescheduled. The president said to look into it,” Harris said in an interview on Thursday, adding that he hasn’t directly communicated with the Justice Department about the issue but that “everybody understands what I want it to look like.”

“I don’t think I’ve been subtle about it,” Harris said. “All I know is every day that goes by and it’s not rescheduled is another good day.”

The prohibitionist congressman said he isn’t sure if internal disagreements within DOJ are to blame for the delayed rescheduling action, but “the wheels grind a little slowly around here sometimes.”

“On this one, they should take about 20 years to grind,” he said.

In December, Harris separately said Trump doesn’t have the authority to unilaterally reschedule marijuana via executive order. But while lawmakers could overrule any administrative move to enact the reform, it would be a “heavy lift” in the Republican-controlled Congress, he acknowledged.

For what it’s worth, the congressman may be at risk of being unseated in November due to redistricting in his state.

The Maryland House of Delegates earlier this month approved a congressional redistricting proposal that would leave anti-cannabis Harris especially vulnerable in the next election, according to analysts, giving Democrats an advantage in the state’s first congressional district for the first time since the last map was drawn in 2011. It remains to be seen whether the Senate will follow the House’s lead to pass the legislation, however.

Meanwhile, another GOP lawmaker on the other side of the debate, Congressional Cannabis Caucus co-chair Rep. Dave Joyce (R-OH), recently told Marijuana Moment that while marijuana rescheduling might not be at the top of the agenda for the Justice Department or White House amid competing interests, he and bipartisan colleagues will be ready when “opportunity does present itself.”

Joyce separately said last month that he doesn’t think the attorney general would seek to undermine the president’s executive order to move marijuana to Schedule III despite any personal reservations she may have about the policy change.
