Roger Fraley was arrested for first degree arson and burgerly after two fires we lit purposefully at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas.

Firefighters had responded to the hotel after smoke detectors showed a fire in a hallway on the 17th floor, and another in the women’s restroom on the pool deck of the property.

The Clark County Fire Department released a statement saying toasters, towels and various other materials were used to ignite the fires at the hotel bearing President Donald Trump’s name.

Yesterday at 3:33am, he wrote on his Facebook “Lord Jesus save me.

Nothing on his Facebook showed that he was at all anti-Trump, but there were several posts referring to himself as “Yahweh,” a name of God.

The police have also suggested that the attack was not politically motivated.

With less than two months away until it’s released in the United States, the new Honda Civic Type R has smashed the Nürburgring lap record for front-wheel-drive cars, clocking a 7min 43.8sec lap time from the circuit’s Bridge to Gantry sections.

This shaves a significant 5.41sec from the previous record holder, the Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport S, and makes the new Type R 6.8sec faster around the ‘Ring than its predecessor.

The new lap record holder is described by Honda as being a development model with technical specifications representative of the final car. Like the production car, it uses a 316bhp and 295lb ft VTEC turbocharged 2.0-litre engine.

“We expect that the efficiency of this model’s engine…will provide U.S. customers with a great driving experience,” said Frederic Bernard, technology expert at Honda Europe. “And since this model has excellent stability and maneuverability, even when accelerating or turning, it is a very safe car in all driving conditions.”

We’ve got some good news; the 2017 Civic Type R is set to arrive at dealerships later this spring!

Confederate Memorial Day, sometimes also called Confederate Heroes Day or Confederate Decoration Day, is not a federal holiday. Instead, it is celebrated in various states of the southeastern United States. State employees in Mississippi have today off to observe Confederate Memorial Day, those in Nevada have no such option legally.

In Georgia the day has been called “State Holiday” since 2015, when Confederate Memorial Day and Robert E. Lee’s birthday were struck from the state calendar. The state holiday list says the official holiday is April 26 but will be observed this year on Monday, April 24.

Confederate Memorial Day was established after the Civil War to remember the hundreds of thousands soldiers who died fighting for the South. Modern observation of Confederate Memorial Day is much the same as it was just after the end of the Civil War. It’s likely that far fewer people attend some of the events than they once did. In fact, many people who live in the southern states do not realize that Confederate Memorial Day exists. For those who know about the holiday it is an important part of the
calendar.

In Nevada there are two camps of the “Sons of Confederate Veterans,” an “independent organization that supports the protection and preservation of Confederate heritage.” They act as a pseudo-military, with commands, ranks and often wear grey civil war uniforms. Only those who can prove they are related to a member of the Confederate Army can join.

A new Southern Poverty Law Center report identifies “at least 1,500 symbols of the Confederacy”—monuments, statues, schools named after Jefferson Davis, etc.—in public spaces across the country. Contra the common argument that Confederate tributes are a celebration of ‘heritage” rather than white supremacy, the SPLC’s press release notes that “the creation of Confederate displays spiked at the beginning of the Jim Crow era and again in response to the civil rights movement.”

Georgia state representative Tommy Benton argues that not only is Confederate Memorial Day not racist  Benton, a Republican, argues the Civil War was not fought over slavery. Most troubling, however, is Benton’s assertion the Klu Klux Klan was “not so much a racist thing but a vigilante thing to keep law and order.”

Nintendo has shipped the last batch of their NES Classic Edition retro gaming console to North America. As inventory dries up, fans are eager to snatch them up while they can. Today, Best Buy announced that they will give customers one of their last chances to buy the NES Classic!
Best Buy made the announcement via their official Twitter account. The electronics retailer will sell limited quantities tomorrow. They are also offering discounts on accessories. The console won’t be available online, but rather in stores only. This is smart on Best Buy’s part, as it will prevent resellers from ordering NES Classics in bulk from the comfort of their living rooms.

The NES Classic is a throwback to the hit Nintendo gaming system, originally released in 1983. The replica was released in November of 2016. It packs 30 classic games on board. These include iconic titles like Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 1, 2 and 3, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Castlevania, and others.

Nintendo pretty much botched the NES Classic’s rollout, with shortages at stores all across the board. They have also discontinued the device for seemingly no good reason whatsoever. Demand remains high, despite these supply challenges. This, of course, might be explained by the rumours of the upcoming SNES Classic later this year. I wonder if this would eventually lead to a Nintendo 64 version. I was a PlayStation kid myself growing up, but that N64 would definitely be on my wish list.

You can call the best buys in Las Vegas and see if they still have them
