[ChicagoTribune] Four people have been charged after a man was punched and kicked as a crowd yelled, "Don’t vote Trump," a day after the presidential election, police said.
Julian Christian, 26, of the 2500 block of 14th Avenue in Broadview, Dejuan Collins, 20, of the 9500 block of South Avalon Avenue in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,... , Rajane Lewis, 21, of the 7800 block of South Euclid Avenue in Chicago, and a 17-year-old girl who is charged as a juvenile, were each charged with one felony count of vehicular hijacking, police said.
A video of the incident went viral and the victim, 49-year-old David Wilcox, acknowledged he supports Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... but said that's not what started the beating on the West Side.
Wilcox said he was about to turn left from Kedzie Avenue to Roosevelt Road around 1 p.m. Nov. 9 when a black sedan pulled up and scraped the right side of his Pontiac Bonneville.
"I stopped and parked. And I asked if they had insurance, and the next thing that I knew they were beating the s--- out of me," Wilcox said.
Police said the four were identified as the people responsible for striking a man during a traffic altercation.
The man was then dragged as he held on to the window of the vehicle. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and was treated and released, police said.

Bring "hate crime" charges on top of those felonies, plus assault and battery subsequent to the hijacking, as well as civil rights violation investigate by Justice Dept lawyers.
Oh wait, victim is white, criminals are black? Then minimal charges and plea bargain them out.
TRIPOLI (Reuters) - At least 16 people died and 50 were wounded in Libya in four days of clashes between rival factions in the southern city of Sabha, a health official said on Sunday.
According to residents and local reports, the latest bout of violence erupted between two tribes after an incident in which a monkey that belonged to a shopkeeper from the Gaddadfa tribe attacked a group of schoolgirls who were passing by.
The monkey pulled off one of the girls' head scarf, leading men from the Awlad Suleiman tribe to retaliate by killing three people from the Gaddadfa tribe as well as the monkey, according to a resident who spoke to Reuters.
City officials could not be reached to confirm the accounts.
"There was an escalation on the second and third days with the use of tanks, mortars and other heavy weapons," the resident told Reuters by telephone, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the denigrating security situation.
"There are still sporadic clashes and life is completely shut down in the areas where there has been fighting."

[Dhaka Tribune] Socheton Nagorik, a platform of civil society members, yesterday alleged that ruling party politician Abul Kalam Azad had taken part in the November 6 attack on Gaibandha’s Santal community.
"Local MP Abul Kalam Azad a year back assured the Santals of peaceful solution to their land dispute, but he finally took part in the attack on them directly," writer and columnist Syed Abul Maksud said at the presser at the Dhaka Reporters Unity in the capital.
The same allegation came from the affected Santals. In a meeting with top AL leaders on November 16 at the party’s Dhanmondi office in Dhaka, Jatiya Adibasi Gay Pareehad President Rabindranath Soren told AL General Secretary Obaidul Quader how the politician and UP Chairman Shakil Ahmed instigated the premeditated attack.

[Wash Examiner] Barron's financial weekly urged President-elect Donald Trump to consider issuing US government bonds that don't mature for 100 years.
Editor Randall Forsyth made the case for this new debt vehicle in the paper's Saturday edition to address both "America's heavy debt burden and its need for faster economic growth."
Forsyth wrote that because of entitlements the debt would be likely to climb to $45 trillion in 20 years before any of Trump's own spending and tax cuts are factored in.
"Given the incoming administration's ambitious plans, and the nation's already high debt, the president-elect might ask: What would Hamilton do?" the Barron's editor wrote.

100-year bonds sound kind of "iffy." 100-year bonds would probably outlive you. However, it might be a vehicle for passing on wealth to kids and grandkids. The article was a little light on how these would work.

Since Trump has; been elected every whack-a-doodle idea on every subject by every "expert" will be brought out and touted as a sure path to nirvana.
Give the abilities of the MSM they will push all of them in an attempt to make Trump look foolish.
I also think this is 'projection' by the same folks who suggested in March of 2008 that “the financial sector’s strongest players (article cited Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, Bank of America, Washington Mutual, among others) probably don’t have further to sink, even with the ongoing pressure of negative news. Stocks of the industry’s strongest players could climb by 10% to 20% over the next year as panic recedes, earnings improve and price-to-earnings multiples expand.”
I'm not listening to them again without an awful lot of data.

Thousands of Turks protested the PKK terrorist organization in Belgium's capital Brussels on Saturday, Anadolu reported.
According to Anadolu Agency reporters in the field, Turkish-origin protesters gathered in Schuman Square – home also to EU institutions such as the European Commission and the Council of the European Union. During the demonstration, people carried anti-terror banners, urging the EU to stop backing terrorism.
Apparently the Turkish government is as good at organizing rallies as ANSWER...
On Thursday, sympathizers of the PKK terrorist organization also held a protest in Schuman Square with the permission of the Belgian authorities.
Belgium has been criticized in the past for failing to act against the PKK. In August, the group's supporters in Brussels were allowed to celebrate the anniversary of the terror organization's first attack; five months earlier, sympathizers set up tents outside EU buildings ahead of a Turkey-EU summit.
Aside from Belgium, the PKK is also active in other EU countries such as Germany, Austria, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Greece.

These are Turkish "Guest Workers". They are turning into a 5th Column for Erdogan's Sultanate.
[AlAhram] Police on Saturday detained two Swedish TV journalists in the sensitive Kurdish-majority province of Diyarkabir in southeastern The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... after they filmed near a military zone, a local news agency reported.
The pair, identified only by their initials as L.N.B. and R.A.S., were nabbed ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... after they filmed in an area near where a military headquarters is located, the private Dogan news agency reported.
After questioning, the two were transferred to the foreigners department, a section of the police service that deals with deportations, according to Dogan.
There were no immediate other details.
Turkish authorities this month expelled a French news hound after being detained near the Syrian border in the southeast. Olivier Bertrand from online news media Les Jours was detained in Gaziantep province, where he was working on planned stories on post-coup Turkey.

Dictatorship. Afraid truth will be seen outside of controlled channels.
[Washington Examiner] Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown is a candidate to be nominated secretary of veterans affairs for the incoming Trump administration, according to a Boston Globe report Friday evening.
Brown, a military veteran, said President-elect Trump called him Friday to tell him that he was under consideration.
"He said he's making his highest recommendation to his committee that they consider me," Brown said.
He said Trump asked him what his passion was, to which he replied, "military service."
"Quite honestly, it's the toughest Cabinet position," Brown said he told Trump. "It transcends party."
Trump once floated Brown as a potential vice presidential running mate, before settling on Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.
Brown won a special election in 2010 to replace the late Ted Kennedy as Massachusetts senator and serve out the remainder of his term ending in 2013. He later lost bid to serve a full term to Democrat Elizabeth Warren.
Brown then relocated to New Hampshire and ran an unsuccessful campaign for Senate in 2014 to unseat Democrat Jeanne Shaheen. He endorsed Trump for president in February, just before the New Hampshire primary.

#1 I do start to worry that tapping so many GOP senators for cabinet spots might have a bad result vis the slim GOP senate majority. Posted by: M. Murcek Brown is a former GOP Senator and a great choice to run the VA. He was a Reservist and spent some time in Afghanistan...a worker-bee not afraid to get his hands dirty, unlike the perfumed princes that have been running the VA.
#4
As long as his appointees come from red states with GOP governors then there is no worry about the majority.
I say let President Trump appoint all these people out of the senate to make it stronger by promoting moderate RINOs he can fire later, and replacing them with conservatives in the Senate.
Maybe he can find an appointment for McConel and Ryan to get them out of the way.

Yeah, I was confused. Thinking of Sen Tim Scott from SC. Duh!

Trump needs to build a vast empty VA hanger in Alaska. Transfer all the VA corrupt punks there and let them retire out. Until they retire they can sit at an empty desk in the hanger and do nothing.
#10
JV, that's a great plan, especially if the hangar is in a very cold part of Alaska and heat is only had by the deskmonkeys using their own pocket change to purchase it in five minuet increments all day long.

jvalentour - I was thinking more along the lines of a yuuuge new office in beautiful subterranean Antarctica, but I can be swayed. Very prestigious, would have chairs and everything. Eventually. Comes with a $55/month 'uncomfy duty' pay. No relocation allowance though, and no family; that's what the $55/month is for.

This story is of no interest whatsoever except for the interesting locution 1948 Palestinians, which is apparently the Al Ahram/Egyptian term for Arab Israelis.
[AlAhram] Hundreds of Palestinian Muslims and Christians in Israel and the occupied Jerusalem, West Bank, and Gaza Strip demonstrated on Friday against a bill to limit the volume of calls to prayer at mosques and churches in Israel.
All Palestinian churches in Nazareth carried the Islamic call for Friday noon prayers for Muslims.
In the southern city of Rahat, more than a hundred 1948 Palestinians held a rally against the government bill, while 500 protested in the north, police said.
In Gaza, which has been under an Israeli siege since 2006,
...Israeli-Egyptian, actually, though clearly Al Ahram doesn't like to admit it. But Egypt built a steel wall around Gaza with American help in 2009, then the 2 km wide (thus far) buffer zone and tunnel-intersecting moat along the border were begun in 2014, along with the occasionally briefly relaxed closure of Rafah crossing...
hundreds of supporters of the Islamist Hamas group that controls the Palestinian territory held a protest march through the Jabalia refugee camp near the enclave's northern border.
Yusef al-Sharafi, a Hamas leader, told the crowd that "this unprecedented Zionist decision is an encroachment on the freedom of Muslims".
"Attempts to ban the Azan (call to prayer) are doomed to fail because of the steadfastness of the Palestinians," he said, reiterating the long-standing Hamas demand that the Palestinian Authority end its security cooperation with Israel.
The bill, which passed the ministerial committee for legislation on Sunday, had been appealed by Health Minister Yaakov Litzman, who demanded another discussion on it before its first parliamentary reading.
Litzman, a member of the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party, was concerned that the bill could also outlaw the weekly sirens that indicate the beginning of the Sabbath.
The bill, drafted by Moti Yogev and supported by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will now be put on hold until a ministerial committee holds a second vote.
It was drafted allegedly in response to noise from mosques, but would in theory apply to all religious institutions.
The 1948 Palestinians, the vast majority of them Muslim, suffer from discrimination in all aspects of daily life including housing and jobs among other problems.

Need a chapter of the Native American Church of Bob, whose Holy Day is Thursday (sure happy it's Thursday) and the call to swear is Schuls Out For Summer.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Thousands of anti-government protesters marched in Malaysia’s capital on Saturday demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Najib Razak over his alleged involvement in a multi-billion dollar misappropriation scandal.
Clad in yellow shirts and unfazed by arrests of activists and opposition leaders just hours before the rally, protesters marched from various spots towards the heart of Kuala Lumpur amid tight security.
The mood among those gathered was festive, with drums and vuvuzelas heard along with speeches, songs and chants by participants calling for a clean Malaysia and people power.
Denial
The demonstration is unlikely to shake Najib, who has denied wrongdoing and weathered the crisis, consolidating power by cracking down on dissenters and curbing media groups and activists.
The head of pro-democracy group Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih) - the organizers of Saturday’s rally - was placed in durance vile Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! on Friday, along with several other supporters of the demonstration, including opposition leaders and student activists.
Police have said the Bersih rally is illegal.
"We are not here to bring down the country. We love this country! We are not here to tear down the government, we’re here to strengthen it," Bersih deputy chair Shahrul Aman Shaari told the crowds gathered at the National Mosque.
Another Bersih leader Hishamuddin Rais was arrested on Saturday at the protest area, with police also issuing warnings to other participants. State news agency Bernama said about 7,000 coppers will be on duty near the protest area.
In a speech uploaded on his website on Friday, Najib said the protesters were "a tool of the opposition".
"Their movement is deceitful. It is clear that these street protests are in fact the opposition disguised as an independent NGO working to unseat a democratically elected government," said Najib, who is in Peru to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.
Azalina Othman Said, a minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, on Saturday said it was unlawful for any party to try to unseat a democratically-elected government via street protests.
