September 14, 2021: -On Monday, U.S. Capitol police arrested a man carrying banned weapons in a truck scrawled with White supremacist symbols outside the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee, the department said.
The driver, Donald Craighead of Oceanside, California, is claiming to the cops that he was “on patrol” and started talking about “white supremacist ideology,” the U.S. Capitol Police says.
The arrest was made on Monday, less than a week before people were set to gather at the Capitol for a rally in support of the hundreds jailed in connection with the deadly January 6 Capitol invasion.
“At this time, it is not clear if he planned to attend any upcoming demonstrations or if he has ties to any previous cases in the area,” the department added.
The Capitol Police further said that the Dodge Dakota pickup truck had “a swastika and other white supremacist symbols painted on it,” the Capitol Police further said. It also displayed a picture of an American flag in place of a license plate.
Craighead was arrested on Monday for possessing the prohibited weapons, police added.
“This is good police work plain and simple,” said USCP Chief Tom Manger. “We applaud the officers’ keen observation and the teamwork that resulted in this arrest.
“This is an excellent example of the work our officers do every day,” Operational Services Bureau Deputy Chief Jason Bell said.
The arrest came lesser than a month after another man, North Carolina resident Floyd Ray Roseberry, forced the U.S. Supreme Court and other buildings to evacuate after driving his pickup onto a Capitol Hill sidewalk and threatening to ignite a bomb.
Before he was arrested, Roseberry records himself while he spoke about a coming revolution and demanding to talk to President Joe Biden. He posted those videos to Facebook before the website took down his profile.
Security on Capitol Hill ramped up dramatically after the January 6 invasion, when hundreds of former President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the building where Congress had gathered to confirm Biden’s Electoral College victory.

AspenTech, a Massachusetts-based company, plays a pivotal role in the oil and gas industry by leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including AI (artificial intelligence). Let’s delve into how AspenTech contributes to this dynamic sector
It’s no secret that oil and gas is a boom-and-bust industry. Production is currently up, projected to increase to 13.7 million barrels daily in 2024. But this won’t last forever. Whether production is up or down, the key to maximizing production, optimizing efficiency, and taking advantage of increased profits is innovation, digital transformation,and automation.For stakeholders looking to deliver safer, more efficient, and cheaper energy, innovation and automation must be a top priority. Those who fall behind in the race to innovate, ultimately, run the risk of losing market share.
Talking to Thomas Hundertmark, a senior partner in McKinsey’s Houston office, Darren Woods is chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil made some crucial points and also gave some insights on what the conglomerate was doing in order to save the climate.
When Darren Woods took the reigns of ExxonMobil six years ago, no one could have anticipated that the Kansas resident would soon face what Texas oil patch vets call “a whole pile of trouble.” Three years later, the oil market collapsed during the COVID-19 pandemic, which dealt the 140-year-old oil organization its first annual upset in four decades.
Today oil and gas producers face severe regulatory and public relations obstacles due to the concern with greenhouse gases and resource depletion. Calgary-based start-up, Advanced Upstream (“AU”), has been disrupting the oil and gas industry with simple and reliable innovative technologies. AU’s products help the oil and gas producers to enhance energy production while reducing the corresponding environmental impact. By decreasing personnel and time on site, and lowering overall HSE risks across the board, the clients can see a notable improvement in their ESG rating, contributing to their bottom line.
Jasmin Staiblin, Chief Executive Officer of ABB Switzerland, says, “Global energy consumption continues to grow and, if left unabated, will lead to an ever-greater risk of irreversibly changing our climate. To take advantage of more sustainable energy sources, the energy landscape is in a state of profound change to allow the integration of increasing amounts of renewable energy sources into the grid, to allow infrastructure to run more intelligently and efficiently, and to ensure the supply of energy is available at all times.
