For many, the idea of through-hiking the Appalachian Trail is seen as the ultimate test of mind, body, and soul.

The grueling hike, which spans the east coast from Georgia to Maine, is a rite of passage for many outdoorsmen and women who see the test as not only a physical test, but one that requires a great amount of mental fortitude as well.

And that’s without a machete-wielding madman on the loose either.

James Jordan, 30, of West Yarmouth, Mass., was arrested early Saturday on a federal complaint charging him with murder and assault with intent to murder in connection with the “senseless and brutal attack” on the two unidentified hikers, Abingdon U.S. Attorney Thomas Cullen said.

This isn’t the first time that Jordan’s antics warranted police intervention.

Jordan was known to hike the Appalachian Trail under the moniker “Sovereign,” WCYB-TV reported. He was arrested in April for threatening hikers on the Appalachian Trail in Tennessee, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to probation, according to WJHL-TV.

Jordan’s bizarre behavior culminated in a deadly attack over the weekend, and authorities are grateful to have neutralized the situation as quickly as they did, especially given the remote nature of the area.

Now, let’s see here. How can Joe Biden keep the American people safe from COVID-19 and still allow illegals to overwhelm agents at the southern border? In what world does that make sense?

Well, it looks like we can file this report under DUUUUUHHHHHH!!! From The Daily Wire: Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels slammed President Joe Biden during a Fox News interview this week for the ongoing crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border, saying that Biden’s reversal of the last administration’s policies have caused a serious problem on the border. “When President Biden rescinded the emergency order on the southwest border, it stopped resources, and it stopped construction on our border,” Dannels said. “As a result of that, one area where the fence is not complete, we get five or six groups a day coming across there. It’s [opened up] the border. It opened up the message that it’s okay to come in this country. This administration owns this decision. And what it’s doing is it’s forcing us back to 2019, where we had the largest what I call crime scene in the country to include the largest humanitarian situation going on.” VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL6Hqonas7k And here’s your daily dose of random noise from Twitter… https://twitter.com/brandonwenerd/status/1368026400456732674 https://twitter.com/govkristinoem/status/1367944560580648967 https://twitter.com/TwitchyTeam/status/1368046181721444352 https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1368037566684033027
