A Department of Homeland Security program that targets violent extremism is drawing fresh scrutiny after a shooting massacre in a largely Black neighborhood of Buffalo , New York, on Saturday. In the wake of the shootings, Department of Homeland Security officials have highlighted the work of the Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program , which distributed $20 million last year nationwide. The program funds efforts by law enforcement, university researchers and community groups to help identify people at risk of becoming radicalized by extremist beliefs and get them counseling and other support services. “It is the school teacher, the family, the neighbor, the faith leader. It is friends, it is people in the communities who can identify this conduct,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a call this week with law enforcement officials, civil rights leaders and religious groups. “And we need to guide them effectively, to … [Read more...] about DHS has a program to fight domestic extremism, but critics question how effective it really is

Amber Heard ’s older sister took the stand on Wednesday to provide details about Johnny Depp during the short-lived union between the actor and Heard, and almost immediately launched into a series of wild allegations. Among them: that Depp “hurled” a steak knife at his assistant, called his then-wife—Heard—a “slimy whore,” and even consumed the contents of a ziplock bag full of mystery pills “to see what would happen.” Whitney Henriquez, who used to live with the celebrity couple, told jurors in Virginia court on Wednesday that the pairing she once adored deteriorated. Part of the cause, she said, was that Depp began making “light jokes” about Heard’s clothing and appearance. “And then suddenly he has a problem with her taking any sort of job or any sort of audition.... It was another fight,” Henriquez said. “He would often say things like, ‘I don’t even understand why she needs to work. I’ll take of her, I'll take care of you’...It was one of those things that he was, at the … [Read more...] about Amber Heard’s Sister Says Pill-Happy Johnny Depp Hurled a Steak Knife at His Assistant

It’s no wonder Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has a reputation for being the curmudgeon of NATO. You would be, too, if your international claims-to-fame included jailing some 13,000 people for “insulting” your style of leadership, then saying Sweden isn’t fit for NATO membership because the country and its parliament is a “hatchery” for terrorist groups. The president has gone so far as to threaten to veto Sweden and Finland from joining the transatlantic alliance as a further counterweight to Russian belligerence in the region. “Neither of these countries have a clear, open attitude towards terrorist organizations,” Erdogan recently bellyached. “How can we trust them?” He is no Turkish delight. “Erdogan is a pain in the neck and he likes it that way,” a high-level NATO official, who is not authorized to speak on the record, told The Daily Beast. It’s hard to imagine just how embarrassing the Turkish president’s antics have been to NATO over the years. “Your voice … [Read more...] about ‘Pain in the Neck’: The Most Cursed Member of NATO Revealed
