We're living in such a strange world these days that I'm not dismissing this possibility out of hand

That’s the headline I wrote for a draft of this post yesterday afternoon, because, although I’d been following the story as it unfolded, and even though the paper publishing it, The Maine Wire, has done some excellent reporting in the past — uncovering and publishing a year-long series of articles about the huge marijuana grow industry in Maine being conducted by Chinese employing illegal Chinese aliens, for instance, and local corruption in various police departments in the state, I still was skeptical.

The Wire’s report in based on an investigation on Andy Ngo’s reporting, and he’s been fairly out there — but almost always right. However, like the marijuana scandal, this one is finally being reported in the mainstream media (well, the NYPost, but that’s close enough – they did break the Hunter Biden notebook story, when the rest of the media covered it up), so I’m beginning to think it’s all true. How bizarre.

New Details on Vermont Border Patrol Murder Suggests Suspects Were Members of “Trans Militia”

The two suspects accused in the fatal shooting of Vermont Border Patrol Agent David Maland, 44, have been identified as transgender extremists affiliated with the so-called “Ziz group,” according to a report from independent journalist Andy Ngo.

On Inauguration Day, two suspects, since identified as the trans-identifying Felix “Ophelia” Baukholt, a German national in the U.S. on an H1B work visa, and Teresa “Milo” Consuelo Youngblut, 21, of Seattle, allegedly incited a firefight with Maland.

The shootout left Maland and Baukholt dead, and Youngblut injured and facing charges for allegedly firing at Maland.

“Both in the duo are leftist trans militants. One of the deceased armed militants is a German believed to be in the country on an H-1B visa. The duo is allegedly connected to a trans terror cell,” said Ngo on X.

Much more at the Post. None of this is really earthshaking, but it does make for interesting reading; there are sone very strange people wandering around the country.
