Fifteen years ago, then-State Senator and now …

The FBI arrested a trans-identified Oregon woman on Friday who allegedly made a series of credible violent threats towards minority groups, including Jews, black people, and immigrants. The trans-indigenous-Latina neo-Nazi arrested by the FBI for allegedly making threats of a mass shooting against "transphobes," Jews and blacks, had a cache of weapons …
