https://x.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1883643215863251161It appears the trans militants who murdered a border patrol officer may have been preparing for a larger terrorist attack that got thwarted.
They had brought black tactical clothing, multiple weapons, multiple burner phones, laptops and "militia-style equipment" and had been active in militant trans groups online
Their affects included ballistic helmets, night vision goggles, respirator masks, two-way radios, a journal of unknown contents and lodging planned at numerous states along their journey
They had been reported by concerned citizens and were being surveilled by federal law enforcement for terrorism suspicion while staying at a motel
So yeah guess its one less high profile transgender terrorist attack that gets carried out, and one additional trans militant murder that gets swept under the rug and goes unreported by national media

Investigators had been performing ''periodic surveillance'' of the pair since Jan. 14 after an employee at a hotel where they were staying reported concerns after seeing Youngblut carrying a gun and she and Baukholt wearing black tactical gear, according to the affidavit. Investigators tried to question the duo, who said they were in the area looking to buy property but declined to have an extended conversation, the FBI said.
About two hours before the shooting, investigators watched Baukholt exit a Walmart in Newport, which is just north of Coventry, with two packages of aluminum foil. According to the affidavit, he was seen wrapping unidentifiable objects while seated in the passenger seat.
During a search of the car after the shootout, authorities found cellphones wrapped in foil, a ballistic helmet, night-vision goggles, respirators and ammunition, the FBI said. The also found a package of shooting range targets, including some that had been used, two-way radios, about a dozen ''electronic devices,'' travel and lodging information for multiple states, and an apparent journal.
