“Brittney is An Inspiration to Millions of Americans, Particularly the LGBTQ Americans” – KJP Defends Brittney Griner Swap for “Merchant of Death”

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Joe Biden’s affirmative action hire, defended her boss’s decision to swap Brittney Griner for the “Merchant of Death.”

Joe Biden on Thursday announced he traded the world’s most wanted fugitive, Russian Viktor Bout, for pot-smoking anti-American baller Brittney Griner.

Only a Democrat would think this was a good trade.

It’s obvious that Barack Obama is calling the shots.

German authorities predict a second wave of arrests after far-right extremist group allegedly plotted to overthrow government

Further arrests are expected in coming days as German authorities investigate a far-right group they say was preparing to overthrow the state and install a former member of a German royal family as national leader.

Key points:

25 people were arrested in raids across Germany involving some 3,000 officers

Prosecutors say the group believed in a "deep state" controlling Germany, as well as QAnon conspiracy theories

Police allegedly found weapons including crossbows, rifles, ammunition and recruitment material

A former politician from the far-right Alternative For Germany (AfD) was also among those detained, according to German prosecutors.

"Based on my experience, there is usually a second wave of arrests," Georg Maier, the interior minister of the eastern German state of Thuringia, told broadcaster Deutschlandfunk.

The leader of the alleged plot and their would-be regent is a minor aristocrat called Heinrich XIII Prince Reuss, a descendant of the royal House of Reuss in Thuringia.

Aged 71, he has been working as a real estate developer.

Neither the House of Reuss nor Prince Reuss' office responded to requests for comment.

Twenty-five suspected members and supporters of the group were detained on Wednesday in raids involving some 3,000 security personnel, a move Mr Maier described as unprecedented in modern German history.

Although right-wing groups have been on the rise in Germany, the discovery of the alleged plot came as a shock in one of Europe's most stable democracies and largest economy.

"It's not really comprehensible: you hear about such plans from other countries but for this to happen outside my front door?" said Melanie Merle, who lives close to the apartment in the financial capital Frankfurt where Prince Reuss was arrested.

"The government we have is not ideal but probably better than what they had planned."

Prosecutors said the group was inspired by the deep state conspiracy theories of Germany's Reichsbuerger and QAnon, whose advocates were among those arrested after the storming of the US Capitol in January 2021.

Members of the Reichsbuerger (Citizens of the Reich) do not recognise modern-day Germany and its borders as a legitimate state.

Some are devoted to the old German Reich (empire) under a monarchy, with some also sharing Nazi ideals and believing Germany is under military occupation.
