A crossbow-wielding Michigan homeowner fired an arrow at a break-in suspect and successfully thwarted the early Tuesday morning caper.Monroe County Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to a home in the 4500 block of Huron Street in Frenchtown Township just after 12:30 a.m. after receiving a report concerning a home invasion in progress, WLNS-TV reported. The municipality is about a half hour southwest of Detroit.'Well, he definitely got the point not to ever do that again.'The call to authorities indicated two people broke into the home that was occupied by two residents, the station said.One of the residents shot one of the intruders with an arrow, after which the other intruder fled, WLNS noted. The intruder who was shot — a 32-year-old male — was taken to a hospital to remove the arrow and undergo surgery, the station said, adding that he was in police custody while he recovers. Police arrested the other male intruder — a 41-year-old — shortly after the incident and was being held in the Monroe County Jail, WLNS said.The station said police won't release the identities of the males until they are arraigned.

The sheriff of a Florida county where Hurricane Milton is expected to hit has issued a warning for registered sex offenders who need shelter from the storm: Do not attempt to seek refuge at the designated public facility. Instead, go directly to jail.As of 8 a.m. Wednesday, Flagler County residents have been under an order to evacuate the area in preparation for Hurricane Milton. Those who remain behind and need a more durable location to ride out the storm are invited to bring their families and up to four pets to Rymfire Elementary School in Palm Coast along the eastern coast of Florida about 25 miles south of St. Augustine."The shelter will also accommodate residents who are from an area under an evacuation order and have no other place to go," a message from Flagler County Emergency Management said.'If you prey on this community you will ride out the storm at the county jail.'While the public shelter will seemingly welcome most residents in need, there are some members of the community who may not go there. They include those convicted of sex-related offenses who have since been released back into society."If you are a predator, you are not allowed at the Rymfire shelter," Sheriff Rick Staly said at a press conference on Wednesday morning.Instead, Staly said, officials have already made other arrangements for these potentially dangerous individuals."If you are designated under Florida law as a sex predator and you need shelter, you need to go to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility," Staly continued. He then quickly noted, "That's the county jail.""We will accommodate you in the lobby of that building. You've probably seen it before, I would guess," he added with a straight face.The clip of those remarks can be seen here. The full press conference can be viewed below.Sheriff Staly also issued a warning against would-be looters tempted to exploit the situation and "prey" upon vulnerable residents in Flagler County."To the criminals who think they can prey on our community, just remember during times of disaster, we have extra deputies on patrol," Staly noted. "Our real-time crime center is up and functional, and we have lots of cameras in this county. ... If you prey on this community you will ride out the storm at the county jail."The evacuation order remains in effect in Flagler County until 7:30 a.m. Thursday."We'll get through this together," Sheriff Staly assured everyone.Like Blaze News?

Former President Donald Trump gave a wide-ranging interview on the massively popular "Flagrant" podcast, where he provided some new insight into who he believes might be behind the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. Co-host Akaash Singh of the "Flagrant" podcast — which has nearly 1.7 million subscribers and 415,000,000 total views on YouTube — asked Trump who he believed was behind the assassination attempt in July.Trump explained his strategy when giving nicknames to his adversaries. "I hate answering it," Trump said of the question, "because I don't want to give any false identities. I don't want to do anything having to do with creating something that isn't there."Trump advised that President Joe Biden should be extremely stern with assassination attempts on American politicians by other countries. Trump said if Biden were "a real president," he should issue a warning to all foreign powers that the U.S. would "bomb that country to oblivion" if there is an assassination attempt against an American president."If they do it, the country will be blown to smithereens, the entire country will be blown to smithereens," Trump said. "That's a really bad threat as a country." "Iran has an open threat out for me," Trump noted. Trump pointed out that China is not happy with him for the tariffs he imposed on the country. Trump concluded, "I think Iran would be the one."Trump claimed to have been nearing a deal during his presidency in which the U.S., China, and Russia would denuclearize. "We were close to a deal for getting rid of nuclear weapons," Trump said. "It would be so good." "It's too powerful," he declared of nuclear weapons. "It's too much." Regarding negotiating with powerful foreign leaders, Trump said, "I get along with pretty much everybody. Actually, the tougher they were the better I did with them — that's a good thing, not a bad thing because the other ones are easy to handle."Trump said he got along well with Chinese President Xi Jinping, except when the coronavirus pandemic happened. "But when COVID came, I was not happy with him," Trump said of Xi. "Because it came out of the labs — accidentally, I believe." Trump conceded that Biden has an edge over him in one area. "He has one ability that I don't have — he sleeps," Trump said, which left the interviews in stitches. "This guy goes on a beach, he lays on one of those 6-ounce chairs. They weigh 6 ounces. They weigh very little, and he can’t lift it," Trump joked. "They're meant for children, young people, and old people." Trump continued to lampoon Biden and his frequent beach vacations, "Somebody convinced him he looks good in a bathing suit. When you’re 82, typically bathing suits don’t make you look great. You're not going to be enhanced. It's just one of those things." "He has an ability to fall asleep while on camera," Trump told "Flagrant" host and comedian Andrew Schulz. "He can lie down, and in minutes, he's stone-cold out." Trump said he has launched a lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Board for awarding writers at the New York Times and the Washington Post with Pulitzer Awards in 2018 for their Russiagate coverage that has since been refuted. "They've got themselves a big problem now," he said. "And the suit's moving along — and I think we're going to win that suit easily."Trump said his legal team wrote a letter to the Pulitzer Prize Board that read: "We demand that you take back the Pulitzer Prizes, we demand an apology." Trump explained his strategy when giving nicknames to his adversaries. He said nicknames need to be easy to say because "you can't stutter it through when you use it.""When you put the names together you've got to be able to pewwwm. You've got to be able to put it out there," Trump stated. Schulz asked what happened to former Vice President Mike Pence.Trump replied, "He couldn't cross the line of doing what was right, in my opinion." Trump said he thinks Pence is a "good man" and the duo had a good working relationship for "99.9%" of the administration. Schulz asked Trump what he would like his legacy to be and what he thinks it will be. Trump responded, "What I would like my legacy to be is the same as the term MAGA — Make America Great Again — I'm going to make this country great again." "I want to make America great again. I want to make it so great that people won't question it," Trump proclaimed. In August, Schulz described Trump as a "very enticing candidate." "He’s very enticing. He’s incredibly enticing, and I think that he’s enticing because I think the Democrats have utterly failed to inspire us in any way, shape, or form," Schulz stated during an episode of "The Brilliant Idiots" podcast. Schulz told his co-host Charlamagne tha God, "I think that it’s nice to see somebody that is bucking the system especially when the systems, you feel, have left you down."You can watch the entire "Flagrant" podcast interview with Donald Trump here.

A new study has confirmed what we already suspected and knew, but in much more elaborate detail: the Bronze Age was a long, long bloodbath. The team of researchers, including experts from Göttingen University, have recreated ancient combat techniques by simulating Bronze Age spear fights. They carefully recreated battles, blow by blow, to understand how these weapons were used and how the marks they bear came to be. Their work has been published in the latest edition of the Journal of Archaeological Science, as the second part of a series. The first, published last month, had assessed Bronze Age swords in Bohemia and Moravia, and conducted similar simulations, offering fresh perspectives on ancient warfare and the evolution of weaponry.
