Sean Connery dies aged 90 #RIP

Amid worries about civil unrest and violence following the presidential election and possible shortages of poll workers on Nov. 3 itself, more state leaders are considering deployment of the National Guard. Although the U.S. military is generally left out of the election process, polling locations attempting to manage impossibly long voting lines may not be in a position to turn away help from the Guard, whose members would fill in as plainclothes poll workers or help to monitor cybersecurity. In key battleground states such as the Rust Belt's Wisconsin and the Sun Belt's Arizona, governors have already announced they could or would activate the National Guard to help with security. Wisconsin Democratic Gov. Tony Evers said Thursday that he would deploy around 400 members to compensate for poll worker shortages.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has released the bodycam footage of the deputy-involved #shooting that killed a 25-year-old man. Back on October 16, LASD responded to a call in the area of 121st Street and Willowbrook Avenue in Willowbrook. LASD says Fred Williams III ran from deputies when they arrived on scene. Deputies say Williams was armed and ran down the driveway of the home. Trailing Williams was a deputy and LASD said the 25-year-old man pointed a gun at the deputy, prompting the deputy to shoot multiple rounds at Williams. The shooting killed Williams on scene and deputies recovered an unregistered semi-automatic pistol. The deadly shooting prompted the local community to hold protests and demonstrations, demanding #LASD to release videos of the incident.

Comedian Bill Maher used his show on Friday night to urge America that, regardless of who wins on Tuesday, they should 'skip the civil war and go right to reconciliation.' The New York-born comic joked that America was a family, and as such should learn to live with tension. 'Thirty-four percent of the voters believe there will be another Civil War within the next five years and I'd like to remind them of one thing: America is a family and the definition of family is people who hate each other without resorting to violence,' he said. 'We have to see each other not as mortal enemies but rather merely as roommates from hell. 'If we want to simply exist, we're going to have to find a way to work together.'

KATY, Texas — Deputies arrested a Katy man on drug charges and recovered thousands of stolen power tools stored in his home. The value of the stolen merchandise is estimated to be more than a million dollars. Precinct 5 deputies, working with the Texas Department of Public Safety, executed a search warrant in the 1500 block of Hoveden on Wednesday, October 28. Inside the home, deputies found floor-to-ceiling, organized stacks of power tools, tool sets and other items, many of them believed to be stolen from Home Depot stores in the Houston area as well as other states. Steven Lane Skarritt, 62, was arrested on felony charges of drug possession and delivery. Investigators are still looking into who is responsible for the theft and resale of the merchandise. Further charges may be forthcoming.

Have a gourdgeous Halloween, everyone 🎃

Listen to Biden absolutely lose it at this Iowa voter who askes about Hunter and Ukraine. So angry and hateful. Disgrace.

Meanwhile, in Texas... This is the most badass thing I've ever seen in my life. 😂

British fashion brand Fred Perry released a statement on its website and social channels, announcing that the company would no longer be selling its $95 polo shirts with a gold and black laurel design to the United States and Canada. The reason: The shirt had been adapted as a uniform by far-right group the Proud Boys. “That association is something we must do our best to end,” the statement read, vowing not to make the shirt available in North America again until the Proud Boys ceased using the clothing line “to their own ends.” The laurel wreath logo on the Fred Perry polo is (unintentionally) similar to the yellow wreath used in some Nazi ceremonial flags.
