Ohio FBI shooting: Gunman reportedly threatened agency following raid of Trump's home
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A gunman who died in a shootout after trying to get inside the FBI’s Cincinnati office appeared to have posted calls on social media for FBI agents to be killed and for people to take up arms and "be ready for combat" in the wake of the search at Donald Trump’s home, a law enforcement official said.Federal investigators are examining social media accounts they believe are tied to the gunman, 42-year-old Ricky Shiffer, and posts that urged violence after the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, according to the official, who was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.At least one of the messages on Trump’s Truth Social media platform appeared to have been posted after Shiffer tried to breach the FBI office. It said: "If you don’t hear from me, it is true I tried attacking the F.B.I."Another posted on the same site earlier this week from @rickywshifferjr included a "call to arms" and urged people to "be ready for combat" after the search.Authorities also are looking into whether Shiffer, a Navy veteran, had ties to far-right extremist groups such as the Proud Boys, the official said.Shiffer was armed with a nail gun and an AR-15-style rifle when he tried to breach the visitor screening area at the FBI office Thursday, according to the official.

FBI seized classified records from Mar-a-Lago during search of Trump residence
Trump, in a statement late Thursday night, called for the "immediate" release of the warrant and property receipt."Not only will I not oppose the release of documents related to the unAmerican, unwarranted, and unnecessary raid and break-in of my home in Palm Beach, Florida, Mar-a-Lago, I am going a step further by ENCOURAGING the immediate release of those documents, even though they have been drawn up by radical left Democrats and possible future political opponents, who have a strong and powerful vested interest in attacking me, much as they have done for the last 6 years," Trump said.DOJ ASKS COURT TO UNSEAL MAR-A-LAGO RAID WARRANT; AG MERRICK GARLAND PERSONALLY SIGNED OFF ON TRUMP SEARCHThe former president touted his current poll numbers saying they "are the strongest they have ever been, fundraising by the Republican Party is breaking all records, and midterm elections are fast approaching.""This unprecedented political weaponization of law enforcement is inappropriate and highly unethical," Trump said. "The world is watching as our Country is being brought to a new low, not only on our border, crime, economy, energy, national security, and so much more, but also with respect to our sacred elections!He added: "Release the documents now!"Garland, during his public remarks Thursday, said he "personally" signed off on the decision to obtain a warrant to search Trump’s private residence."The department does not take such a decision lightly," Garland said.

Rise in anal sex leads to health problems for women as doctors 'too embarrassed' to talk
NHS surgeons have warned.Two top surgeons have warned that a doctors reluctance to talk over the risks associated with anal sex are leading to women being harmed.Consequences listed in the British Medical Journal include incontinence and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) as well as bodily trauma, pain and bleeding from anal sex encounters.READ MORE: Nurse killed by driver after his window 'all misted up' before horrifying 'bang'But two top surgeons, Tabitha Gana and Lesley Hunt, argue that doctors too embarrassed to talk over the issues are leading to more problems than normal.Writing in the journal, the pair say that "anal intercourse is considered a risky sexual behaviour because of its association with alcohol, drug use and multiple sex partners".The journal also notes that "within popular culture it has moved from the world of pornography to mainstream media" such as the Phoebe-Waller Bridge-written series Fleabag or comedy-drama Sex and the City.Shows such as that, the journal claims, have made anal sex seem "racy and daring".The report also said that women who engage in anal sex are at greater risk than men, with increased rates of "faecal incontinence and anal sphincter injury" reported.The report continued: "Women are at a higher risk of incontinence than men because of their different anatomy and the effects of hormones, pregnancy and childbirth on the pelvic floor."The pain and bleeding women report after anal sex is indicative of trauma, and risks may be increased if anal sex is coerced."The surgeons added, though, that doctors and GPs are less likely to talk about anal sex and that they are subsequently "failing a generation of young women," The Guardian reported.Professor of sexual health and HIV
