[National Review] Pope Francis has accepted the resignations of two more Chilean bishops amid the worldwide sex-abuse scandal roiling the Church, the Vatican said on Friday.
The two bishops who stepped down are Bishop Carlos Eduardo Pellegrín Barrera of the diocese of San Bartolomé de Chillán and Bishop Cristián Enrique Contreras Molina of the diocese of San Felipe. Prosecutors recently announced that Barrera, 60, is under investigation for sex crimes. Molina, 71, was deemed innocent of such crimes by the Vatican in 2014, and a civil prosecutor declared the case against him had too little evidence to proceed, according to BishopAccountability.org.
Every one of Chile’s 34 bishops offered to resign in May after a Vatican investigation resulted in a 2,300-page report showing cleric in the country neglected and hid sexual abuse. So far, the Pope has accepted the resignations of seven of them, counting Barrera and Molina. Chilean prosecutors and police raided four diocese offices last week to investigate potential evidence of sexual abuse and of a cover-up.
The turmoil in Chile is a microcosm of the sexual-abuse scandal facing the Church worldwide, which was reignited earlier this year by a Pennsylvania grand jury that found rampant abuse of minor children by 301 priests over about 70 years, and by the revelation of Cardinal Theodore McCarrick’s abuse of minors and adult seminarians earlier this year.
[Townhall] Cody Wilson, the creator of the 3-D printed gun, has been a long-standing legal battle over whether or not his company, Defense Distributed, can legally share blueprints with people around the world. Now, Wilson finds himself in a different kind of legal fiasco: this time he's being accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl, The Statesman reported.
According to an Aug. 22 Austin police report, the 16-year-old and Wilson, 30, had sex on Aug. 15. During a forensic interview on Aug. 27, the girl said she met Wilson on SugarDaddyMeet.com. Wilson used the screen name "Sanjuro."
"During this conversation, ’Sanjuro’ identified himself as ’Cody Wilson.’ Victim said that ’Sanjuro’ described himself to the victim as a ’big deal,’" the affidavit said.
[Newsweek] Ravi Karkara, a United Nations senior adviser accused of sexual misconduct against younger male subordinates, was fired from his role at the U.N. Entity for Gender Equality Monday, after nearly 15 months of investigation.
“The investigative and disciplinary processes into allegations involving a U.N. Women staff member
...a male U.N. Women staff member?? I’m confused...
have concluded that sexual misconduct occurred,” Phumzile Mlambo-Ngucka, executive director of U.N. Women, said in a statement Monday. “As a result, I have dismissed the staff member; this is the strongest disciplinary measure available… the staff member is prohibited from employment at the U.N.”
I find it fascinating that Bright Pebble’s link insists that the perpetrators are exclusively white men, when we have seen reports here at Rantburg that among those succoring the current invasion of Europe are female aid workers reportedly quite as predatory as the men. This suggests that the profession of philanthropy is an equal opportunity one for predators.
[DAWN] Vietnam's President Tran Dai Quang died on Friday at age 61 after a prolonged and serious illness, state media reported.
He passed away from a "serious illness despite devoted treatment by professors and doctors" both in Vietnam and abroad, the official Vietnam News Agency said.
In office as president since April 2016 after more than four decades at the powerful Ministry of Public Security, Quang had a reputation as a tough leader with little tolerance for dissent.
Though he held one of the country's top four positions and was officially the head of state, his role as president was seen as largely ceremonial, greeting visiting leaders and hosting diplomatic events in a bid to boost Vietnam's profile on the world stage.

[DoD] Two soldiers who died during the Korean War have been identified from the remains returned from North Korea, President Donald J. Trump announced last night.
Personnel at the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency identified Army Master Sgt. Charles H. McDaniel and Army Pfc. William H. Jones. Their remains were repatriated from North Korea following Trump’s summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Both men died in North Korea in 1950.
DoD officials expect many more identifications from the remains. “The 55 boxes we don’t necessarily attribute to 55 remains,” DPAA Director Kelly K. McKeague told the Defense Writers Group here yesterday. “The remains are comingled, … and we expect there to be more than 55.”
He noted that 208 boxes of remains turned over to the United States from North Korea in the late 1990s turned out to contain more than 400 U.S. service members.
[Wash Times] The Army missed its recruiting goal this year for the first time in well over a decade, which officials blamed on increased competition in a strong private-sector economy and the fact that "nobody wants to talk" to recruiters on the phone or face to face these days.
For the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, Army leaders said they pulled in about 70,000 new recruits. The goal was 76,500.
It’s the first time the Army fell short of its target since 2005, and all of the other branches of the military hit their benchmarks this year.
"We obviously thought we would do better than that," Maj. Gen. Joe Calloway, director of military personnel management for the Army, told the Associated Press, adding that in recent years the Army had pulled in at least 3,000 more recruits than expected.
"There was hope that they would be able to do the same thing this year," he said. "That did not pan out."
Mr. Calloway said the strong economy is partly to blame, as at least some potential recruits have chosen against enlisting and instead sought out jobs in the private sector. That reality comes even as the Army has relaxed some of its rules on permitting recruits with previous marijuana use or certain health issues.

Not again? [Sun, via NY Post] A British woman has been questioned by police in Spain after doctors found a dead tortoise inside her vagina, according to reports in the Spanish media.
Staff at the emergency department of a medical center in the south of the island Tenerife are said to have called local cops after making the bizarre discovery, the respected daily El Dia claimed.
The unnamed woman, described as an expat by El Confidential, is said to have sought help after suffering pain in her genital area which doctors diagnosed as an infection caused by the reptile.
The Sun has not been able to independently verify any of the claims that have been widely reported in Spanish media.
She is said to have told police she began to feel odd after going out partying with a group of British friends a couple of days earlier, El Periodico reports.
She apparently had no idea how the reptile ended up where it did.

[Defence-blog] The Royal Air Force (RAF), the United Kingdom’s aerial warfare force, has announced that Typhoon fighter jets from Lossiemouth were scrambled to intercept two Russian Long Range Blackjack bombers and escort them whilst in the UK area of interest.
According to the source, the two Russian Tu-160 Blackjack long-range bombers were intercepted by RAF Typhoons from RAF Lossiemouth comprised RF-94100 ‘Red 10’ named ‘Nikolay Kuznetsov’, and RF-94111 ‘Red 18’ named ‘Andrey Tupolev’ on 20 September.
The Russian Tu-160 Blackjacks long-range bombers were not talking to air traffic control, making them a hazard to all other aviation.
“Russian bombers probing UK airspace is another reminder of the very serious military challenge that Russia poses us today,” UK Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson said. More, including a map at the link

...What would be fun is for the next time the Soviets Russians pull this crap, get the interceptors in place, then query them one more time. When they don't answer, get the interceptors at the bombers' six and light up the fire control radars.
When the Russians complain - and they will - simply reply as politely as possible, "Well, they were not acknowledging the ATCs, so we were afraid they'd been hijacked. Dreadfully sorry."

Pfc. William H. Jones and Master Sgt. Charles H. McDaniel
The first two U.S. service members have been identified from remains repatriated from North Korea.
Army Master Sgt. Charles H. McDaniel of Vernon, Ind., who was 32, and Army Pfc. William H. Jones of Nash County, N.C., who was 19, were identified by the Defense Department as the first two soldiers who have been repatriated from North Korea.
"The Army is grateful that two U.S. Soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice have been identified and will be returned to their families. Pfc. William H. Jones and Master Sgt. Charles H. McDaniel served our nation bravely; and, today, we remember their service and honor their sacrifice. As our nation observes National POW/MIA Recognition Day, it is especially fitting that Soldiers reported missing in action in North Korea have been accounted for and will be properly laid to rest in the weeks ahead," Secretary of the Army Mark T. Esper and U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley said in a statement on Facebook.
Both soldiers were reported missing in November 1950.
Their families were notified earlier in the week, and were expected to be present at a National POW/MIA Recognition Day ceremony on Friday, to be held at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu.
The two service members were among remains in 55 cases transferred from North Korea to the U.S. a few weeks ago.
Each box is said to contain multiple remains, between "three and 18 sets of remains" per box.
The repatriation of Korean War remains was one of the topics agreed upon by President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at their June 12 summit in Singapore.
The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), which is in charge of the identification process, said the two soldiers' remains contained dental material, making them easiest to identify. Dental records, X-rays and DNA samples were used in the identification process.
McDaniel's remains also included his dog tags, which were returned to his two sons. It was the only set of dogs tags returned with the remains.
McDaniel was an 8th Cavalry Regiment Medical Company medic who assisted the 3rd Battalion of the same regiment. His unit encountered Chinese forces while fighting in a North Korean village. He was reported missing in action shortly after on Nov. 2, 1950.
Jones served in the 2nd Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division. His unit battled Chinese forces in the area of Pakchon, North Korea, and he was reported missing Nov. 26, 1950.
The 55 cases containing the remains were handed over to the U.S. on July 27, a day coinciding with the 65th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice. They underwent a two-day forensic review process at Osan Air Base in South Korea before transfer to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii. An official repatriation ceremony was held Aug. 1.
Approximately 7,600 U.S. personnel remain unaccounted for after the Korean War, with some 5,300 believed to be lost in North Korea. Families of some 92 percent of those missing personnel have provided DNA samples for their hopeful and eventual identification. Welcome home.
[DAWN] A beaming South Korean President Moon Jae-in, freshly returned home on Thursday from a whirlwind three-day summit with Kim Jong Un, said the North Korean leader wants the US secretary of state to visit Pyongyang soon for nuclear talks, and also hopes for a quick follow-up to his June summit with President Donald Trump.
Only hours after standing with Kim on the peak of a volcano that’s at the heart of Kim dynasty propaganda, Moon told reporters in Seoul that he will be carrying a private message from Kim to Trump about the nuclear standoff when he meets the US president in New York next week on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session.
Both Trump, who has repeatedly spoken of his good relationship with Kim, and the North Korean leader have expressed a desire to follow up on the June meeting in Singapore that was meant to settle an impasse that seemed to be edging toward war last year. But there are worries among observers about whether Kim is as committed to denuclearisation as he claims.
Moon faces increasing pressure from Washington to find a path forward in efforts to get Kim to completely and unilaterally abandon his nuclear arsenal, which is thought to be closing in on the ability to accurately target any part of the continental United States.
“There are things that the United States wants us to convey to North Korea, and on the other side there are also things that North Korea wants us to convey to the United States,” Moon said at a press centre in Seoul where reporters had watched parts of his summit with Kim on huge video screens that occasionally showed live streams from Pyongyang. “I will faithfully serve that role when I meet President Trump to facilitate dialogue between North Korea and the United States.”

[The Hill] Applications for unemployment benefits fell to a new 49-year low for the third straight week, reflecting a tight job market.
U.S. filings for jobless claims fell 3,000 to a seasonally adjusted 201,000 in the week ended Sept. 15, the lowest level since Nov. 15 1969, the Labor Department said Thursday.
The four-week moving average, which is a better gauge for the direction of job market, was 205,750, a decrease of 2,250 from the previous week's 208,000, the lowest level since Dec. 6, 1969 when it was 204,500.
The effects of Hurricane Florence, which hit North Carolina and South Carolina last weekend, on jobs is not yet known.
The storm, which has caused widespread flooding across the two states, may temporarily push up unemployment figures in the next few weeks like Hurricanes Harvey and Irma did last year.

1/ IF the goal is2 resuscitate NATO and in time eliminate Russia as a country, this is precisely the way to do it. W/o such base(s) US forces would have to land in France and convoy thru Neth&Germany to reach the front. Not feasible in a high velocity war.http://t.co/gEjbJF6NKI

Putin respects power. You have to deal with him from a position of strength.
Peter Zeihan wrote a book that has a section about a possible conflict with Russia in the Baltic. He wrote an intriguing book called “The Absent Superpower: the Shale Revolution and a World without America.” A read worth the time.

Putin wants a new Russia like the old USSR’s grandeur. Only he has some issues to deal with.
*an economy the size of Italy.
*a collapsing demographic.
*China looking at Siberia.
*Institutions are corrupt.
Putin could win the battle while his country collapses.
All he has in his toolkit are nuclear weapons. So he in some ways is acting like Iran and North Korea.
I think President Trump must have read Peter’s Book.

Russians are paranoid & xenophobic: they think everybody wants to invade and enslave them - I wonder why?
[Defence-blog] On September 17, a fire broke out aboard the Schleswig-Holstein frigate of the German Navy on the Baltic Sea off Kiel.
According to theDeutsche Marine Blog, the Schleswig-Holstein frigate was forced to return to port after a fire in an electrical control panel on 17 September.
The source in theGerman Navy said that around 8 p.m. on board of frigate was spotted fire in a switchboard in the rear. The crew was able to quickly bring the fire under control and extinguish it. However, as there was heavy smoke below deck, ten soldiers suffered smoke poisoning.
One injured soldierwas taken off shortly before 9 p.m. by the DGzRS lifeboat ‘Berlin’ from Laboe. Seven other soldiers were picked up by ambulances in Kiel and taken to hospitals. Two soldiers suffered light smoke poisoning and could stay on board.
The damage has already been assessed and it will be repaired in Kiel and the frigate is expected to be ready to return to sea next week, the German Navy said. More at the link

Polyester uniforms... My brother sneered at them. The old uniforms could be washed in salt water, fresh water rinse, and rolled up to fit the cubbyholes the USN had allocated for the basic sailor. The *new and improved* uniforms needed dry cleaning and lockers to hang them up in to "look smart" -- it may have worked shorseide at a USAF base, but on a ship?

How many illegal immigrants are currently living in the U.S.? The number often used when discussing the topic is around 11 million. For instance, last year Pew Research published "5 facts about illegal immigration in the U.S." which states, "The Center’s preliminary estimate of the unauthorized immigrant population in 2016 is 11.3 million." But according to a newly published study by Yale University, the actual number may be double that or possibly even higher: I've wondered how Hillary got plurality of votes.

Just think about the extra costs on Americans as most of those will not be productive enough to pay for all the infrastructure supporting them, plus they'll push up rents and lower wages.
Ignoring illegal immigration is a tacit subsidy to the establishment who collect the benefits while poorer Americans foot the bill.
[Hot Air] Earlier today Allahpundit looked at the negotiations taking place between Christina Blasey Ford and the Judiciary Committee. The GOP agreed to push the date to Wednesday but is requiring that Ford testify first. A Politico story published today points to one additional factor which is apparently motivating Ford to push the date of the hearing back as far as possible: She plans to drive cross country to the hearing in Washington, DC.
At first blush, this really sounds like a stunt. There are already people flying banners of support behind airplanes in northern California. Now Blasey is going to drive cross-country in what sounds an awful lot like a politician’s bus tour. No doubt we’ll be seeing excited tweets from people who encounter her at every gas stop along the way and probably a map showing her current location on CNN. But last night, CNN published a story saying Ford’s claustrophobia has been known to her friends for years though they only recently learned she blamed it on her alleged assault at age fifteen:

I expect her to agree, and then delay and delay because of whatever issues that might occur during the journey. Eventually forcing the vote on Wed without her in order to beat the deadline.
[Daily Caller] Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley announced he was going to give Christine Blasey Ford more time to decide whether or not she wanted to appear before his committee to testify.
"I just granted another extension to Dr Ford to decide if she wants to proceed w the statement she made last week to testify to the senate," Grassley tweeted. "She shld decide so we can move on I want to hear her."
He also hoped that Judge Kavanaugh understands his decision to give her more time.
The tweet did not specify an exact deadline this time around, and thus far, Grassley has not altered the scheduled Monday vote.
Grassley’s previous deadline was Friday night at 10p.m. As that deadline approached, Ford’s lawyers asked for another day for her to decide. Grassley tweeted shortly thereafter that he felt a bit like he was being played.

No. Grassley is setting the stage. Blasey Ford will not be able to make it by Thursday because of a bus breakdown or a slow waitress at a KC BBQ joint.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS Local) ‐ Some flea and tick medications can cause adverse reactions in dogs and cats, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned Thursday.
Some animals receiving drugs in the isoxazoline class, including products sold under the brand names Bravecto, Nexgard and Simparica, have experienced adverse events such as muscle tremors, ataxia and seizures, the FDA says.

"Another product in this class, Credelio, recently received FDA approval. These products are approved for the treatment and prevention of flea infestations, and the treatment and control of tick infestations," the FDA said in a statement.
While the FDA says the medications are still considered safe, it nevertheless issued an alert to owners and veterinarians.

The FDA says it was also working with manufacturers of isoxazoline products to include new label information to highlight neurologic events.
"The agency is asking the manufacturers to make the changes to the product labeling in order to provide veterinarians and pet owners with the information they need to make treatment decisions for each pet on an individual basis," the FDA said.

Science fiction may seem resolutely modern, but the genre could actually be considered hundreds of years old. There are the alien green “children of Woolpit”, who appeared in 12th-century Suffolk and were reported to have spoken a language no one could understand. There’s also the story of Eilmer the 11th-century monk, who constructed a pair of wings and flew from the top of Malmesbury Abbey. And there’s the Voynich Manuscript, a 15th-century book written in an unknowable script, full of illustrations of otherworldly plants and surreal landscapes.
These are just some of the science fictions to be discovered within the literatures and cultures of the Middle Ages. There are also tales to be found of robots entertaining royal courts, communities speculating about utopian or dystopian futures, and literary maps measuring and exploring the outer reaches of time and space.
The influence of the genre we call “fantasy”, which often looks back to the medieval past in order to escape a techno-scientific future, means that the Middle Ages have rarely been associated with science fiction. But, as we have found, peering into the complex history of the genre, while also examining the scientific achievements of the medieval period, reveals that things are not quite what they seem.

But since he took to social media to share the long list of items that can’t be worn inside the Murphy’s Law Irish Pub in his neighborhood, some people are calling out the bar for enforcing a "racist" dress code.
While making plans with a friend to meet up at a nearby bar, Smith received a picture of the questionable dress code posted in the front window of Murphy’s Law. He tells Yahoo Lifestyle that "it immediately struck a chord." Although he wasn’t entirely sure what to think about it, he decided to call attention to it.
"I post a lot of stuff on Facebook, so I thought a few of my friends would chime in," he says. "But what happened next I was not expecting."

Dress codes are a good thing. People act the way they dress. School uniforms have a very positive effect. Bars often refuse service to folks but this gives the folks a chance to know the rules ahead of time.
[DailyCaller] A friend of the woman who killed three people in a mass shooting in Maryland Thursday revealed that she identified as a transgender male.
Authorities identified the shooter who killed three people and wounded two others at a Rite Aid distribution center in Aberdeen as a 26-year-old woman named Snochia Moseley. While both the police and court documents identified Moseley, who worked at the distribution center, as biologically female, Troi Coley, a high school friend of the shooter, revealed that she identified as transgender in as early as 2016.
