[Law Newz] FBI Director James Comey held a "pen and pad" briefing with reporters on Wednesday where he provided some new insights about the Bureau’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server.
Director Comey was asked during the briefing about Clinton’s continued characterization of the investigation as a "security inquiry," according to Fox News.
"[I am] not familiar with the term ’security inquiry,’" Comey replied. "We’re conducting an investigation. ... That’s what we do."

I have officially written off the FBI as a National non-partisan protectorate of This Nation. Blow up the Hoover building and fire them all. They are pieces of democrat shit like the rest of the government.
I have given up on any agency being true to it's purpose.
In fact, FIRE EVERYONE- They are all marxist corrupted. Do it or I will take my measures.
#4
Credit where due: It's team Hillary using the term "security review", Comey is directly refusing her. He's essentially said we don't do security reviews, we do investigation. "Security Review" a mushy Wiesel words used deflect and denigrate the investigation.
#5
amen, Ship. He's killed their talking point. Another one they use is "was not marked as 'classified' upon receipt or deliver". That is also bullshit and doesn't matter. I expect his comment was a subtle heads-up

[Jewish Week] An 11-year-old boy was charged Monday with setting fire to a school bus outside a Jewish school in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn. The bus went up in flames on Sunday evening in front of the Beth Rivkah School for Girls in the haredi Orthodox Jewish neighborhood. There were no injuries.
The accused boy was released to his parents, WABC-TV reported. Up to five boys were on the bus when it was set on fire, the station reported, citing a witness, who was able to identify the boy who was charged as a juvenile in the incident.
A lit pizza box was found inside the burning bus.
Police reportedly planned to use surveillance video from the school in an effort to identify the suspects. That is correct, none of the youth involved were identified as Jewish.
The African-American youngster was charged with criminal mischief and arson, both as hate crimes. Police said the arson took place on Sunday evening while the bus was parked on Brooklyn Avenue in Crown Heights, outside the private girls school, Beth Rivkah.
Security video shows five children running into the bus with pieces of cardboard. Shortly afterwards the kids flee the scene and smoke is billowing from the bus, which soon becomes engulfed in flames. A witness confirmed seeing a group four or five African-American children, between the ages of 10 and 15, on board the parked bus, Yeshiva World News reported.
Local Jewish volunteer patrol group Shomrim received a call about the fire and the suspects. Volunteers who arrived on the scene located the boys within minutes but they denied involvement in the fire when police arrived. A witness initially identified them, but later said she was not sure if they were the boys responsible for the crime. Police took down their information and are reviewing surveillance footage from the scene.

Later in the second article:
Police sources said another Jewish school bus was targeted in a crime that took place on Thursday, less than a mile away from the fire scene. Insiders said a bus driver told police he was driving down Eastern Parkway when someone threw a brick at his bus, shattering the driver-side mirror. A separate attack took place on Friday, in which a group of African-American teenagers threw rocks and stones at a Jewish man in Crown Heights before hitting him with a heavy steel stick.

I think that setting that kind of fire is not so easy a bunch of kids with just a book of matches and a few pieces of cardboard. It was more than just a little mischievous. They had to use some lighter fluid or other accelerant and know what they were doing. They had to really, seriously want that bus to burn.
A surprisingly non partisan discussion on Ukraine's volunteer battalions. The site is a pro Russian, anti-US site I follow on Facebook. They have a lot of detailed information on the Syrian civil war as well. Written by Igor Pejic exclusively for SouthFront; Edited by Astroguy
[SouthFront.org] The Ukraine uprising which began in 2013 didn’t turn out to be a great revolution for democracy and civil liberties as portrayed by the West but rather an evolving crisis which gradually transmutes Ukraine into a failed state. Clumsy assistance provided by the “partners” turned Ukraine’s revolution into a chaotic power grab among various radical groups and influential individuals across the country; security forces which should have prevented this coup displayed a lack of competence and consistency in their work. Separatists’ efforts in the East of Ukraine come only as a natural reaction, the situation (economic, security, political) in Ukraine deteriorates at a steady pace day by day and it’s no wonder some regions want to distance themselves from that kind of government and especially from radical groups which have no sympathies towards Russian nationals.
These developments in Ukraine heavily favor the paramilitary groups which have risen to power after the Maidan coup in 2013; furthermore a weak military structure, inconsistent government and politics and also rampant corruption on all levels of society prevent the uniting of all these armed groups who usually have criminal activities.
According to some estimates there are between 7,000 and 10,000 “volunteers” in more than forty battalions; in fact after the coup in 2013 the military structure of Ukraine can be divided into two sectors: the Ukrainian army and various territorial defense battalions.
In 2014 Ukraine’s armed forces rapidly grew from 130,000 to more than 230,000. This rapid expansion was considered necessary because of the Russian “transgression” against Crimea and the problems in the East of the country. Although the armed forces grew, their quality became very questionable; throughout four mobilization waves in 2014 and 2015 the military managed to recruit a large number of “alcoholics and dodgers, drug addicts and morons” as stated by the advisor to the Ukrainian President.
The influx of new recruits without any security checks and with a questionable past pushed Ukraine’s Parliament to pass a law in 2015 which authorizes commanding officers to use physical force against defectors; the new law allows commanders to use not only physical force but special means and weapons when fighting those who commit criminal acts. This law clearly shows what condition the Ukrainian armed forces are in; furthermore after the outbreak of the conflicts in the Donbass region there were more than 10,000 cases of desertion.
These factors pushed the Parliament to go even further and pass a law that extends the upper limit of compulsory military draft age from 25 to 27 years. Despite these new laws the conditions for military mobilization quickly deteriorated and the effectiveness of the state in mobilizing men for military service decreased significantly. The main problem lies in the disorganized administration of the state as well as the local levels of governance. These are not the only problems that the Ukrainian army needs to deal with; a high level of corruption among officers usually ends up with negligence of the elementary needs of a regular soldier. Supplies such as boots and regular uniforms can be hard to come by if you don’t have any connections or if you simply can’t afford it. Lack of combat training is also evident especially if you compare older more experienced soldiers to the new recruits. Insufficient funds and lack of military instructors makes training courses for new recruits rather difficult and there are also reports of other soldiers feeling unsafe when practicing or conducting military drills with less experienced recruits.
There are of course remarks about the size of the army and why it’s getting bigger and not more professional. One of the main challenges in the future for the Ukrainian armed forces will be the professionalization of their military and creating a solid core of trained and tested soldiers who are capable of delivering good results. All these factors heavily contribute to the rise of the so called volunteer battalions across Ukraine. With the weak and unorganized military the paramilitary groups seem like a better solution for many young men.
Volunteer battalions started emerging in 2014 mostly out of Maidan self-defense groups and Maidan activists. Although there was a parliamentary decree according to which all armed groups that have emerged as a result of the Maidan unrest should be disbanded and demobilized, Volunteer battalions were given the option of joining the command structure of the Ukrainian Army, which some refused to do. Those who refused continue to fight in southeastern Ukraine.
many of these groups have just transformed into territorial defense battalions, special police battalions and reserve battalions of the National Guard. Jurisdiction of these battalions was divided between the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Defense at the state as well as at the local level of governance, since these battalions were nominally funded by the regional budget but the supplies and equipment came either from the Ministry of the Interior or the Ministry of Defense. Of course it should be noted that large amounts of arms and some military equipment came from civil society organizations and local oligarchs.
A good example of this “private” funding is the Dnipro 1 and Dnipro 2 special police battalions who were helped financially by the Dnipropetrovsk governor and oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky. Though the funding of these battalions comes from different sources the training of the personnel is done mostly in Ministry of the Interior and Ministry of Defense training bases. The exact number of battalions varies between forty and fifty where some battalions numbers dozens and some hundreds of volunteers.
The membership in these formations varies at the social, linguistic, national and political levels. Most of the members of these armed groups have been active during the Maidan coup; they include police and army veterans, students but also individuals with a criminal record. Members often come from different parts of the country; usually it can be seen that some battalions have Ukrainian-speakers from the West as well as Russian-speakers from the East of the country.
Although the majority of volunteers are Ukrainians there is an unspecified number of Russians, Georgians and some other European volunteers who have joined the ranks of different battalions. According to some reports the Azov battalion is probably the most international; there are also cases which point out that other groups tend to invite or acquire members who have experience in wars against Russia (the Dudaev battalion is mostly composed of veterans who have fought in the Chechen wars against Moscow).
From the ideological perspective most of the battalions tend to lean towards far right ideologies, some of them like to call themselves patriots or strong nationalists but there is a significant number of groups who exhibit a classical neo-nationalist attitude. This can be troubling since we are talking about heavily armed groups in a rather unstable country; plus some commanders of these battalions have been elected to the parliament. Most of these parliamentary commanders have close ties to Prime Minister Yatsenyuk’s party.
Some Ukrainian observers have stressed that the oligarchs are using their political ties with the government to exploit the commanders and their battalions to settle their own disputes. There is a growing concern that some of the battalions can turn into some kind of a private army.
Two main problems of the volunteer battalions are the lack of discipline and the politicization of these groups. The lack of discipline can be easily seen on the frontline and in volunteer actions in civilian neighborhoods. There are numerous reports stating that human rights abuses, rape and looting were common in areas where some of the battalions were located. Though these groups are formally under the jurisdiction of either the Ministry of the Interior or the Ministry of Defense there is no guarantee that these state institutions can punish that kind of behavior or even prevent it, since most of the time the commander of a battalion is the only one who has authority among the volunteers.
Politicization of volunteer battalions is more or less inevitable, as in an unstable society such as Ukraine these types of organizations which possess real power (men and guns) can have a major influence on politics and government. After the Maidan protests much of the Ukraine saw that the newly elected government can’t bring peace and prosperity as it had promised; furthermore corruption became an even greater problem for the Ukrainian people than before, and finally the security apparatus showed itself to be rather incompetent at dealing with any kind of serious problem in the country.
The volunteer battalions which have rallied a lot of Maidan participants also managed to get some sympathy from the ordinary people; sadly the people of Ukraine see these groups as one of the possible solutions to the rampant corruption and crisis conditions which are tearing Ukraine apart. As I mentioned earlier there are already members of parliament who are commanding officers of these battalions; there is a probability that as the situation in Ukraine deteriorates other officers or members of volunteer battalions will seek political careers.
Many commanders have already established wide communication platforms using some social networks and some of them even have loyal political constituencies. Shifting between gray suits and military outfits many of them seem to be able to provide a vision and an inspiration in these difficult times; however, although they appear compelling they are not always reliable political actors. Others like reservists of some battalions have once more demonstrated in Kiev along with members of different veteran organizations that the current government is equally eligible for another Maidan if need be. Their potential to rekindle the protests in Ukraine is giving these armed groups a lot of leverage in the political sphere and of course in the society.
The positioning of the volunteer battalions in the Ukrainian society can potentially become an even greater threat; firstly there are many battalions and many of them have radical views; secondly the number of potential players that can misuse these armed groups, foreign and domestic (oligarchs), is high. Although at this time it can seem a bit extreme, if there comes a point at which a meltdown happens in Ukraine the sheer number of these armed groups can easily turn this country into something that is similar to the current situation in Libya, only with an Eastern European flavor.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Some Chinese state-owned entities, backed by the key government agency that oversees major state industrial companies, have adopted a controversial defense when they face US lawsuits: You can’t touch us because we enjoy sovereign immunity.
Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), China’s biggest state-owned aerospace and defense company, has used the strategy twice, while state-owned China National Building Materials Group Co (CNBM), a state-owned building products company, successfully used it in a case involving allegations that Chinese-made drywall led to health problems for US homeowners.
China’s Foreign Ministry in October complained to the US government over attempts by plaintiff lawyers to serve the drywall lawsuit on the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC), which is responsible for 106 government-owned enterprises with 4.7 trillion yuan ($722 billion) in assets, including CNBM and AVIC. The ministry argued in a diplomatic note that US courts have no jurisdiction over suits against a country’s "state-owned properties."

[War Zone] Earlier today the Arleigh Burke class destroyer USS William P. Lawrence was executing a freedom of navigation drill near Fiery Cross Reef, where China has built a 10,000-foot-long runway along with maritime and other military facilities. During the destroyer’s approach to the island, a pair of Chinese J-11 fighters, an indigenous variant of the Su-27 Flanker, along with a Y-8 surveillance aircraft, were scrambled from the island outpost. It is not clear at this time if the Y-8, which has been adapted for many missions, was a maritime patrol, airborne early warning and control (AEW&C), electronic intelligence collection, electronic warfare or a command and control variant.
The United States has been executing these maneuvers around the islands since last October. The tactic is meant to exercise the right of innocent passage under international maritime law and to challenge China’s blanket claims to the resource rich South China Sea as well as the validity of their man-made islands outposts. These missions are also intended to set a precedent that will hopefully keep China from denying access to the critical waterways and aerial routes on and above the disputed body of water. Currently, half dozen countries claim portions of the South China Sea. Champ meeting with the NSC soon? Appears we're only a trigger pull away from full-blown conflict in the Pacific.

The Chinese strategy is to construct a series of island bases, bristling with weaponry, and use these to exert control over the region. It's a good strategy. We would do well to copy it.

Question: How exactly vunerable are these bases to storms? I mean one big Typhoon hitting a base dead-center would do how much damage to an artificial Island if it causes a surge of, say, 12 feet?

The Japanese are now fortifying their islands. Unfortunately for the Chinese, many of them are in the first island chain and the PLAN will have to run a gauntlet of Japanese anti-ship missiles to get to open water.

[IBD] Oil jumped Wednesday after the Energy Information Administration reported a surprise drop in crude inventories.
The EIA reported a draw of 3.4 million barrels last week. Late Tuesday, the American Petroleum Institute, an industry group, said U.S. crude inventories rose by 3.45 million barrels, and analysts were expecting a build.
The EIA also said domestic production dipped to 8.805 million barrels a day from 8.825 million barrels the prior week.
Brent crude climbed rose 4.6% to $47.60 per barrel, and U.S. crude jumped 3.5% to 46.23. Oil had fallen earlier in the day as production resumed in Canada’s tar sands after a massive fire halted operations for a week. Gasoline futures shot up 6%.
Exxon Mobil (XOM) fell 1.3% on the stock market today. Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA) and BP (BP) were virtually unchanged. Chevron (CVX) shares dipped 0.1%.
Meanwhile Iranian oil exports have come on stronger than analysts first expected, hitting 700,000 barrels per day from presanction levels in April, according to Helima Croft, chief commodity strategist at RBC Capital Markets, quoted in a report from MarketWatch.

[STARTRIBUNE] Macy's slashed its full-year profit and sales expectations as the department store chain struggles to lure shoppers seemingly in an extended funk.
First-quarter income tumbled 40 percent and revenue fell 7.4 percent, sending shares down 10 percent in early trading Wednesday.
The report from Macy's, following dismal sales numbers from the Gap earlier in the week, dragged down the entire retail sector in premarket trading.
After a brutal holiday shopping season, retailers are muddling through another spending slump that began in mid-March.
Macy's had been a stand-out among retailers following the recession. Yet in the last year, the malaise suffered by others seemed to catch up with Macy's.
Department stores are face increasing competition from online retailers like Amazon.com. Macy's also has acknowledged that Americans, rather than spending money on clothes and accessories, are going out to restaurants or spas, vacationing, or plowing money into their homes.
When they do shop for clothes, increasingly they are doing it at discount stores like T.J. Maxx.
Macy's is trying to overhaul its business to counter slumping sales. It opened a group of Macy's Backstage stores last fall to compete with T.J. Maxx and other off-price stores. It's also expanding online also acquired Bluemercury, an upscale beauty and spa company.
They bought out Marshall Fields a long while back in Chicago. It didn't do anything for either them or Fields...
Does anybody still shop at full price stores?

Does anybody still shop at department stores? Sure they do. They just make sure they shop the sales which can often be as cheap as outlet stores. As easy as the internet can be when it comes to some items such as clothing being able to handle the item and use a fitting room make a big difference. Plus quality counts too. Face it a shirt from Wally World is not going to hold up as well as one from a name store from a quality, well constructed brand. The difference is often in the quality of construction. there is also a reason that items wind up at TJ Max, Marshall's and others. a lot of the time it is merchandise that stores could not move because nobody wanted it. Usually because the clothing is butt ugly. Just my $.02

Coupla years ago, went into the big city to buy some shoes. I own shoes that are still in use after 30 or so years, and have always known that paying top dollar for a quality shoe is always a bargain, in the long run.
Went into Macy's and was appalled. Macy's purchased their presence in Oregon by purchasing the Meier & Frank chain. M & F competed with Lipman's and Nordstrom's. On that visit, it seemed their competition was Rite-Aid.
Quality is important. But it seems pointing this out is easy to ignore. (As newspapers ignore their declining subscriber bases.)

[FRANCE24] Gay Paree Regional Councillor Annie Lahmer is one of eight women who have come forward to denounce French MP Denis Baupin over alleged sexual harassment and assault. She told La Belle France 24 her story.
Sexual harassment in politics once again made headlines in La Belle France this week as Baupin, a former Green Party leader, stepped down as deputy assembly speaker on Monday over accusations he sent explicit SMS text messages and groped female colleagues in the past.
Lahmer recalled how Baupin tried to grab her while she worked as a staffer on his campaign for European parliamentary elections in the late 1990s.
"There was one evening when I was alone with him in the office... he came after me," Lahmer told FRANCE 24 on Tuesday. "It may actually seem a bit ludicrous, but he was actually chasing me around the office."
The Gay Paree councilwoman said she was able to thwart his sexual advances, but was shocked when he warned her she was ruining her political career by turning him down. Furthermore, she said Baupin’s behaviour was well known inside the party.

[DAWN] MINGORA: The local police have nabbed Book 'im, Mahmoud! a key member of a gang allegedly involved in a child sex and pornography case.
The unearthing of the case has fueled public outcry with civil society groups and residents demanding of the provincial government and police to take strict action against the perpetrators.
The gang allegedly used to force children to have sex while being filmed after kidnapping them into their underground cells.
A few days ago, the police arrested the suspect, Aurangzeb, on a tip-off provided by a 13-year-old boy, who was kidnapped by the group in 2014, and was set free recently, Mingora city DSP, Sadiq Akbar, said, adding the police had got a three-day physical remand of Aurangzeb from the judicial magistrate for investigation. The police officer said the suspect would again be produced before the court today (Wednesday).
Mr Akbar maintained that Aurangzeb was caught while having sex with a boy, 14, saying handcuffs and chains were also recovered from the residence.
He said father of the 14-year-old boy had filed a report of his missing on Sept 28, 2014, adding a case was registered in Mingora cop shoppe under section 342 (wrongful confinement), 347 (wrongful confinement to constrain a person to illegal act), 365 (kidnapping), 377 (unnatural offence) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of Pakistain Penal Code.
Meanwhile, ...back at the pond, the radioactive tadpoles grown into frogs. Really big frogs, in fact... the 13-year-old boy told Dawn he was in the bazaar to buy sweets when two men, who he identified as Sajjad and Umar Khaliq, put something on his face and put me in a vehicle. "After sometime when I came to my senses I found myself in a room where Aurangzeb forced me to have sex with him," the boy said, adding he used to abuse him daily.
The boy claimed that some coppers were also involved in the crime as they would come there and fulfill their lust. "One day a policeman informed Aurangzeb about a possible police raid, on which the two controllers took me in a vehicle to Barikot and threw me out there," he added.
On the other hand, a man identified as Sherin Zada, has provided the local journalists with hundreds of photos and videos allegedly filmed while Aurangzeb sexually abusing different boys. Sherin Zada claimed to have got the material from one of his informers. He told journalists that his nephew was also kidnapped by the same gang and was still in their custody.
Surprisingly, the police have also arrested Sherin Zada, who is also the complaintant in the case.
The journalists have handed the material to the Swat ...a valley and an administrative district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistain, located 99 mi from Islamabad. It is inhabited mostly by Pashto speakers. The place has gone steadily downhill since the days when Babe Ruth was the Sultan of Swat... District Police Officer Saleem Marwat, who on the media persons’ demand, has formed a joint investigation team led by DSP Sadiq Akbar to probe the case.
Meanwhile, ...back at the pond, the radioactive tadpoles grown into frogs. Really big frogs, in fact... Neelam Chattan, a social worker and child rights activist in Swat who leads a campaign ’peace for new generation’, told Dawn the child abuse cases were on increase in Swat due to police leniency and parents’ carelessness. "All members of the gang must be arrested immediately and be punished strictly," she said, adding the government must take steps for child protection in the province.

[Intl Bus Times] Donald Trump has sparked rumours he will visit Israel before the US presidential election as advisers look to improve his image abroad and further his foreign policy credentials. The billionaire tycoon cancelled a planned trip to the country in December shortly after calling for a ban on Muslims entering the YS.
The comments led to condemnation from around the world and prompted a strongly worded statement from Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump said at the time he would postpone his visit to Israel until after the US presidential election.
But a recent report in the Ma'ariv daily ‐ which cited a close adviser to Trump ‐ claimed the presumptive GOP nominee was now planning a visit to Israel, Russia and Germany shortly after securing the nomination at the Republican convention in July.
Trump's campaign initially denied the report, but in a subsequent interview in Israel Hayom Trump appeared to confirm the trip. "I heard you are going to visit us soon, before the election?" the paper's Boaz Bismuth asked. "Yes ‐ I will be coming (to Israel) soon," Trump responded.
He added: "I just want to say that my support for Israel is great and strong, and I have always loved the Israeli nation. I have many friends in Israel. We will ensure that the situation in Israel will be very good, and will remain that way forever."
