[ABC15 News] Pee Dee, S.C. ‐ South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) officials say 10 Pee Dee residents have been charged in connection with fraudulent insurance claims following a number of car crashes.
According to a news release from SLED, 10 people have been arrested on 59 charges.
Authorities say all of the individuals filed fraudulent insurance claims after traffic crashes dating back to 2013.
The individuals collected close to $300,000 in fraudulent medical payments, the release said.
Warrants show that the suspects engaged in a number of fraudulent activities, including forging medical bills and medical records, as well as inflating automotive and medical bills.
Officials say the following individuals were charged in connection with the "insurance fraud ring":
[Townhall] A jury is currently deliberating a verdict in the corruption trial for Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ). The New Jersey Democrat’s relationship with Dr. Salomon Melgen has been made front-and-center in this trial. The charge is that Menendez allowed his office to be used to help Melgen, while the Florida-based ophthalmologist gave the senator lavish gifts. Here’s a rundown of some of the activities and charges:
[LI] Trey Ganem, owner of Trey Ganem Designs in Edna, Texas makes custom coffins. Tuesday, he made the two-hour drive from Edna to Sutherland Springs to meet with the families of victims killed in church massacre. He’s offering free caskets for victims of the massacre, if their families would like one.
Moved to P. 3: Non-WoT because mass killers motivated merely by viciousness or insanity are not involved in the Moslem jihad.
[Breitbart] O.J. Simpson Booted from Vegas Bar for Drunk and Disorderly
O.J. Simpson has understandably decided to indulge in some of the things he was deprived of, while in prison. One of those indulgences, is a good stiff drink. However, if Simpson doesn’t watch it those indulgences could land him right back in the slammer.
According to TMZ, Simpson got booted from the Clique Bar, at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Vegas on Wednesday night. Simpson appeared drunk and disorderly, prior to his removal.
According to the report, "...at around midnight last night, Simpson was drunk and became disruptive at the Clique bar. We’re told Simpson was angry at hotel staff and glasses broke at the bar."
This tweet shows Simpson walking through the Cosmopolitan on Wednesday night:
[TAMPABAY] Patrick Charles Hannon helped execute two Tampa men 26 years ago. He slashed one man’s throat and shot another man six times in the chest in 1991.
The state of Florida executed him for those crimes on Wednesday night.
Hannon was pronounced dead at 8:50 p.m. He was 53.
He is the only one of three men who took part in the Jan. 10, 1991 murders of Brandon Snider, 27, and Robert Carter, 28, to receive the death penalty.
James Acker, also now 53, is serving a life sentence plus 22 years at Cross City Correctional Institution in Dixie County. Ronald Richardson testified against the other two in exchange for a five-year sentence.
When the curtain rose on the glass window separating the witness gallery from the execution chamber, Hannon was strapped in a gurney, covered by a white sheet.
Before executioners injected the cocktail of drugs that would render him unconscious, paralyzed and then dead, Hannon spoke.
He proclaimed his innocence and apologized ‐ to the family of just one of the men he killed.
"I hope this execution gives the Carter family some peace," he said. "I wish I could have done more to save Robert."
In the gallery, a woman from Snider’s family whispered: "Bulls----."
"I didn’t kill anybody but I was there when Ron Richardson and James Acker did," Hannon said.
"Robbie was a good man and a good friend, and I let him down when he needed me most. As far as Brandon Snider, I think that everybody knows what he did to get this ball rolling.
"I’m sorry this worked out like this, the way it did."
The woman whispered one final vulgarity at Hannon, then waved goodbye as he was put to death.

Multiple Women Accuse Minnesota State Senator Dan Schoen Of Sexual Harassment
Minnesota state Sen. Dan Schoen sexually harassed women involved in state politics while serving as a DFL lawmaker, according to multiple women who have spoken to MinnPost. Schoen, currently a first-term senator from St. Paul Park, previously served two terms in the House. He also works as a paramedic and police officer in Cottage Grove.
The women describe behavior by Schoen that ranges from persistent and unwanted invitations to meet to physically grabbing a woman from behind. One woman, who asked to not be identified, said he sent her a photo of male genitalia via Snapchat.
Schoen, who was presented with the allegations in a meeting with MinnPost, was aware of each incident but said in a subsequent statement that the allegations are “either completely false or have been taken far out of context. It was never my intention to leave the impression I was making an inappropriate advance on anyone. I feel terrible that someone may have a different interpretation of an encounter, but that is the absolute truth. I also unequivocally deny that I ever made inappropriate contact with anyone.”
“Despite this, if any of my actions or words have ever made another person feel uncomfortable or harassed, I deeply regret it and truly apologize,” Schoen continued. “This is not who I am nor is it the person I would want anyone to feel I am.”
Up Next: Robert de Niro
[USNP.TODAY] According to court records, journalist John Lichfield, who works for London’s Independent, discovered that the prostitution agency routinely ensnared girls as young as 15, forcing them to have sex with Hollywood’s rich and powerful elite.
Of course the mainstream media did everything they could to cover up for Hollywood favorite Robert De Niro. His regular dealings with the brothel, proved by court documents, received little to no media coverage.
After discovering the court documents, John Lichfield wrote, "Six people are charged with the running of an international prostitution ring, whose call-girls entertained the actor Robert de Niro, the former tennis player, Wojtek Fibak, two senior (but unnamed) French politicians and several Gulf princes. The agency specialised in tricking, or trapping, star-struck teenage girls into selling their bodies with the promise of careers as models or actresses."
Aurélie Wynn claimed the Gossip Girl star sexually assaulted her in July 2014.
The actress, who went by the stage name of Aurelie Marie Cao, described the alleged attack on Facebook on Wednesday.
Mariah Cary facing sexual harassment charges (!)
Racism, it’s not just for white people, and sexual harassment, it’s not just for men anymore, at least if a former bodyguard of one of the world’s biggest diva’s is to be believed. As reported by TMZ, the owner of the singer’s former security company has alleged that Mariah humiliated him by constantly referring to him as a Nazi, a skinhead, a KKK member and a white supremacist.
Diane Nyad: My life after sexual assault
Here I was, a strong-willed young athlete. There he was, a charismatic pillar of the community. But I’m the one who, all these many years later, at the age of 68, no matter how happy and together I may be, continues to deal with the rage and the shame that comes with being silenced.
NPR covered up sexual harassment beefs against Michael Oreskes
The left-wing Washington Post reports that NPR “leaders were aware of at least four complaints against” Michael Oreskes, NPR’s top editor, prior to his resignation last week after two allegations went public. With charges of a cover-up floating about, NPR chief Jarl Mohn has taken a four-week leave for what he says are medical reasons.
In an article published by The New York Times on Thursday, Bateman and his wife Amanda Anka confirmed the incident and described it as 'vile'.
According to them and others who were there, Balazs, 60, committed the alleged assault after persuading Anka to climb up a fireman's ladder to reach a suite which had an impressive view of London.
Washington-based advertising executive Tiffany Bacon Scourby, 39, and Hawaii-based porn star Isis Taylor both say Piven, 52, attacked or harassed them.
LA DA to form sexual crimes task force
Prosecutors in Los Angeles announced on Thursday that the city will form a special task force assigned to sexual assault cases involving Hollywood figures.
Jackie Lacey, the district attorney of Los Angeles County, said on Thursday that the new task force would be assigned to oversee the investigations and prosecutions of people in the entertainment industry accused of sexual misconduct.
[Daily Mail] John Hillerman, who played stuffed-shirt Higgins to Tom Selleck's freewheeling detective Thomas Magnum in the 1980s TV series Magnum, P.I. has died at the age of 84.
Hillerman, who had been in declining health, died Thursday at his home in Houston, Texas, his nephew Chris Tritico told media.
Hillerman's nephew remembered his uncle fondly, saying: 'He had an outstanding sense of humor and was one of the most well-read people I ever met. You couldn’t play Scrabble with him.'
Hillerman served four years in the United States Air Force (1953-1957), working in maintenance in a B-36 wing of the Strategic Air Command, and achieving the rank of sergeant.[4][6] He became interested in acting after working with a theatrical group in Fort Worth during his service: "I was bored with barracks life. I got into [acting] to meet people in town. A light went on."[4] After his 1957 discharge, he moved to New York City, to study at the American Theatre Wing, and performed in professional theater for the next twelve years, in productions such as Henry IV, Part 2 and The Great God Brown.[7] Despite starring in over 100 lead roles,[4] Hillerman was unable to make a living as a stage actor, and he moved to Hollywood in 1969.[4][6]
[Mail] An FBI counter terrorism supervisor is currently under an internal investigation after a night of heavy drinking with exotic dancers led to his gun being stolen, new documents reveal.
Robert Manson was drinking heavily in a fifth-floor room in the Westin Charlotte hotel in the North Carolina city when his gun, $6,000 Rolex and some cash were stolen from him, a Charlotte- Mecklenberg police report says.
Manson, who is a unit chief in the FBI's international terrorism sector, was heavily intoxicated but uninjured when police were told of the incident, the New York Times reported.
The agent was visiting Charlotte on July 9 for training, and agents told police they'd spent that night drinking with women they believe were exotic dancers.

Actually, the report said that when the police interviewed the agent the day after the theft, he was still too drunk to talk to them coherently. So they had to get the info from the agent in the room next door.
He's on road to high management.

A Rolex is a bit pricey for a front-line Feeb. However, to be fair, a person might blow most of his paycheck on a $6000 Rolex, it might have been a gift or it could have been inherited.

The shit wallboard was from American buyers getting the cheapest crap they could find from China. It was meant for domestic use only but the buyers loved it because they could sell it for the same price as the quality stuff.

[DAWN] JHANG: A brilliant student is fighting for life at the Allied Hospital of Faisalabad ...formerly known as Lyallpur, the third largest metropolis in Pakistain, the second largest in Punjab after Lahore. It is named after some Arab because the Paks didn't have anybody notable of their own to name it after... after her brother shot at and injured her for refusing to marry before completion of her education.
Warda, who topped the BISE examination 2017 by scoring 1001 (out of 1,100 marks) in FSc and aspires a career in medicine, suffered three bullets on her arm, face and abdomen and is being treated in the emergency ward of the hospital.
Police started the paperwork but haven't done much else against the absconder 12 days after the incident. According to the FIR 1173/17 lodged under section 324 of PPC with the Kotwali cop shoppe, Shadab Colony’s Muhammad Aslam informed the Jhang Kotwali police that his son Sabir Hussain opened fire on his (applicant’s) daughter Warda because of her "marriage dispute" on Oct 24. Sabir fled the house, he said.
He said Warda suffered injuries on her arm, face and abdomen and she was shifted to the Jhang District Headquarters Hospital from where she was referred to the Allied Hospital.
The family says the girl has a distinguished education career and she wants to be a doctor but an unfortunate incident has snuffed light out of her dream.
She appeals to Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif ...Pak dynastic politician, brother of PM Nawaz Sharif, chief minister of Punjab... to allow her to get admission to any medical college once she recovers.

[DAWN] The body of an 80-year-old woman, believed to have died several days ago, was found in an Askari IV apartment on Wednesday, officials said. But a strange situation emerged when the daughters of the dear departed refused to move the body from their residence, saying that their mother was just "ill and could never die", the officials added.
The situation pushed the law enforcement agency to intervene and move the body to the Civil Hospital Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... for his appointment with Doctor Quincy despite resistance from the dear departed’s daughters after their neighbours came up with a complaint of stench of a decomposed body emitting for the apartment.
Sharea Faisal SHO Ali Hasan told Dawn that 80-year-old Anees Fiza Ali had died apparently of natural causes around five to six days ago as per statement of her neighbours.
However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... her two daughters refused to believe that she had died claiming that she was just "ill". After foul smell started spreading from the home in Askari IV, the residents informed the police who took the body into their custody.
The SHO added that the dear departed was living with her two unmarried daughters. Dr Qarar Ahmed Abbasi, additional police surgeon of the CHK, told Dawn that the woman’s body had been decomposed.

[DAWN] Islamabad police on Thursday registered a First Investigation Report (FIR) against sectarian outfit Tehrik Labaik Ya Rasool Allah (TLY) leader Khadim Rizvi in a case pertaining to the death of an infant.
The infant's family was not able to reach the Pakistain Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) last night because of roadblocks put in place due to a joint rally being held by the TLY and the Sunni Tehrik ...formed in Karachi in 1992 under by Muhammad Saleem Qadri. It quickly fell to trading fisticuffs and assassinations with the MQM and the Sipah-e-Sahaba, with at least a half dozen of its major leaders rubbed out. Sunni Tehreek arose to become the primary opposition to the Deobandi Binori Mosque, headed by Nizamuddin Shamzai, who was eventually bumped off by person or persons unknown. ST's current leadership has heavily criticized the Deobandi Jihadi leaders, accusing them of being sponsored by Indian Intelligence agencies as well as involvement in terrorist activities... (ST).
The rally was held to protest a lack of punishment for those involved in making changes to the Khatm-e-Nabuwat declaration for electoral candidates which have already been reversed.
The police registered an FIR against Rizvi and other participants of the protest under Section 322 of the Pakistain Penal Code which deals with qatl-bis-sabab (unintentional murder).
In the FIR, the child's father alleged that the eight-month-old's life could have been saved if they had reached the hospital in time.
The capital administration and police’s wait-and-see approach to the rally by the religious groups paralysed the capital yesterday, allowing the rally to enter the capital and later occupy Faizabad Bridge.
A few rounds of meetings were held between administration and police officials, and the TLY and ST leadership, but the two sides were unable to reach an understanding, officials had said.
The administration decided to seal the Red Zone except for one road that was left open for the movement of officials.
Containers were also brought to Faizabad and Zero Point and placed at the side of the roads to use once the strength and mood of the rally had been observed, an official said, adding that strategies for the situation were pending until the rally reached Islamabad.

[CBS] MALIBU, Calif. -- A Malibu church that has helped the homeless for years has been asked to stop feeding people who are down on their luck. Sends the wrong message in the run-up to the holidays ?
CBS Los Angeles spoke to the people at the United Methodist Church about the request.
Workers at the church say they are able to serve as many as 100 people. They've been serving meals on Wednesdays since 2014.
But now, the food service will come to an end after Thanksgiving at the city's request.
"It's a safe place," said Michah Johnson, who is homeless. "And everyone is welcome. And the food is really good. It's home-cooked. And there's TLC involved."
"The church is very helpful," he added. "They keep my spirits up. They keep me accountable. When you're homeless, it's very easy to slip off and become jaded." Religion is the opiate of the masses. Your 'help' should come from the central government.
The church says the city sent an email asking members to attend a meeting on Monday, where they were asked to stop feeding the homeless.
"Very succinctly," said Dawn Randall, who works with the United Methodist Church. "They claimed we are performing the work of government at no cost increasing homelessness."
"I think many of them eat out of dumpsters and trash cans when they aren't eating with us," said Kay Gabbard, who also works with the United Methodist Church. "We can't pretend like (homelessness) doesn't exist in our backyard. We can't pretend that it only exists outside Malibu."
CBS Los Angeles reached out to Malibu's mayor for a comment. They have yet to hear back.

You all seem to think this is a no brainer but I think you've never lived in a community that's been overrun with the homeless. Wait until you start getting cases of hepatitis a in your town. See how tolerant you are when you have to step over piles of human feces on downtown sidewalks. We have business people who find the bums sleeping in their shop doorways, peeing on the sidewalk outside the shop. What's gonna happen to that business if people have to step over the bums to get to the door? You feed them and they hang around expecting more. You enable them to continue the way they do without trying to change. They pitch their tents all over the place and leave piles of trash and human waste wherever they go because they've gotten the idea that it's OK.
I've read the Bible but I honestly don't know what Jesus would do if he saw the rot these people cause in communities. Would he feed them, exorcise their demons or chase them away with a whip? If we knew how to exorcise their demons we would but we don't know how.
I consider myself a Christian. I understand that Christians feel called to help the downtrodden. I have participated in my church's food drives for the homeless. But the whole time I did I was conflicted. It's not that simple. Somewhere along the line each one of these homeless people made not one but a whole series of bad decisions and now the rest of us are paying for it.

No, you are entirely correct. I never have and don't plan on it either.

Understand, Abu. Plenty of 'Street Homeless' in the upper Midwest cities and larger towns for sure, and there are massive safety/hygiene problems as you describe. The abundance of 'outreach' charities in some areas does seem to attract more of the 'Hobo Lifestyle' types.
Not all homeless folks are the 'perpetually unwashed', though. Many individuals (including teens) and families have had something happen to their lives that forced homelessness and are actually in the process of getting their lives back together. Usually it involves the abstention and recovery from drug/alcohol use.
Too much 'help' can and does stagnate that process for many (see Portland, Or. for example), but a similar number use that to actually step up and return to a positive community-contributing existence.
I still believe the city stopping a once per week meal is a bit callous, though.

The homeless issue belongs to all of us. I want to help but not in my neighborhood is a tough one. There are truly very few homeless that choose to live the "Hobo" life. The homeless are a dumping ground for the mentally ill that are not sick enough or have the ability to seek care, they are the addicted who have completely fallen off track, and people that have truly landed in a bad position in life. Pushing them into other communities by not helping is not the answer, and it is completely understandable that the city wants them gone, they don't vote. The issue is certainly a complex one and no one want it in their neighborhood. Just be sure when you walk past them, hear people tell them to get a job, and listen to folks complain to be thankful for the good fortune bestowed on you. We are all one or two events in life from living on the streets.

A large portion of the homeless are those who previously would have been housed in insane asylums. Get them safely housed, fed, and properly medicated, and taking care of those who are homeless because of a concantenation of events much easier.
#15
If your people of faith are just putting food on the plate and saying see you next week they are not exercising their faith. With the plate of food there must be spiritual food provided at the same time to the recipient.
Many of the people are mentally ill and wouldn't survive outside of a big city where only even one in a hundred may care, but that one gets a homeless person a small amount of food to get through the day.
Others who get spiritual food do find thier way out. Socialism starves people to death both physically and spiritually.
When a nation ceases feeding its poor, God ceases feeding that nation.
#16
Would he feed them, exorcise their demons or chase them away with a whip?
Maybe He would separate them into three or more groups. Then He might feed some, exorcise the demons from some and chase the rest of them out of town with a whip. Jesus would know which ones deserve which treatment. I sure don't. I just want them outta here.

Numbers I read suggested that 50% of homeless men had mental issues and 50% addiction issues--making 90%, with 10% being down on their luck but otherwise OK. (Overlap)
Dunno. The folks around where I work include a lot who--well, you can tell why their families don't want them around.
What the church is doing, and what a number of other programs for the homeless do, is concentrating them in one place. That's efficient for distribution of services, and a nightmare for providing a good environment. Setting aside the impact on the rest of the community, which isn't negligible(*), think about the feedback a quasi-stable guy gets from being around 20-100 other not-so-stable men. If you have a critical mass of the weird and aggressive, everybody's going to have to take on some of that in self-defense. Large groups of homeless are going to make each other worse.
(*) Madison bought a building to be remodeled as a homeless shelter. About 2 doors down is a day care. No doubt there are a few guys who would benefit from being near normal kids and parents, but if I ran the day care I'd put up razor wire around the place.

[South Front] The Caspian special operations unit will transport and evacuate special forces units on high-speed boats.
According to Izvestiya, Caspian Flotilla has formed a new special operations unit, dedicated to conducting shore operations, such as covertly transporting and evacuating reconnaissance teams, covering them with fire and conducting raids.
The unit will take care of security of sea bases and coasts. The unit will be equipped with Raptor high-speed patrol boats and Tachyon drones. According to the experts, the unit doesn’t have a military-political use. The unit was created as an extension of the Russian Navy, as “coastal” special operations units can be a useful asset in special operations taking place on sea.
The Raptor high-speed patrol boats are to be delivered to the unit until the end of the year. Tachyon drones will be used for covert landing on shores and for discovering enemy saboteurs under water.
The unit’s personnel is currently unknown at the moment, although supposedly, the unit will contain several diver and diver-miners platoons, and coastal troops.
Armored project 03160 Raptor high-speed boats will be the main means of transport for the unit. They’re 16m long, capable of transporting up to 20 fully equipped soldiers. Powered by a 2,000hp engine, the Raptor patrol boats can reach a top speed of approximately 50k. They can execute missions in a radius of 100 miles (160km) from its operating base. The boat is fitted with a remotely operated weapon station to hold a 14.5mm machine gun, as well as a gyro-stabilised, electro-optical module. The gun has a firing range of 2,000m and is used for defence against weapon systems and armoured targets. The electro-optical module provides target detection up to a range of 3,000m.
regnum.ru reports the Russian Navy is due to receive 40 surface combatants starting in 2018, all of them corvette size and smaller.

A century of Communism achieved four main results: poverty, oppression, war, and mass death. So why does anybody still think collectivism is 'idealistic'?
[FoxNews] The U.S. Army is set to decide whether Pvt. Bowe Bergdahl is entitled to as much as $300,000 in back pay and other benefits he amassed during his captivity with the Taliban.
Bergdahl, 31, was captured by the Taliban in 2009 after he walked off base while in Afghanistan. He was given a dishonorable discharge and he was demoted from sergeant to private in a court decision earlier this month but spared prison. President Trump called the ruling a "complete and total disgrace."
Captive soldiers normally receive special compensation worth around $150,000 in addition to hostile-fire pay and their basic pay they accumulated during the captivity. But determining whether Bergdahl should receive the back pay is not as clear-cut.
The State Department marked Bergdahl in as "Missing-Captured" several days after he was captured and the terror group released a video featuring him alive, Military.com reported in 2014.
But Bergdahl pleaded guilty to desertion in court, complicating whether the army will consider him as a prisoner of war and thus entitled to back pay and compensation.
"My understanding is there has to be an administrative determination of his duty status at each point, from the time he was captured until now," an army official told the Army Times. "In order to figure out what he’s owed, you’re basically going to have to start from that point of captivity."
The official told the Times that it is possible Bergdahl will be given only his accumulated basic pay during his five-year captivity.
Bergdahl, however, might not be eligible for the basic back pay and could even owe money to the military. The Army could determine that he should not be paid for the time in captivity or that he was overpaid since his return to the U.S, according to the official who spoke with the Times.
"Based upon the results of trial, the Army is reviewing Sgt. Bergdahl’s pay and allowances," Lt. Col. Randy Taylor told the Times. "His final pay and allowances will be determined in accordance with DoD policy and Army regulation." If the Army allows him to play his "Victim" card again, he'll get the $. But I doubt 300 large will be enough.
