[Breitbart] A group of criminal aliens showed up to a Tarrant County, Texas, work release program and were surprised they were getting arrested instead of getting a job. When they arrived at the county facility, immigration officers took the allegedly undocumented criminal immigrants into custody.
Two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement vans arrived at the Tarrant County probation office Sunday morning; witnesses told KGNS NBC8. The immigration officers took custody of a group of illegal aliens who came to the facility to participate in a work release program run by the county.

Heck no, they weren't undocumented! They each had files full of their arrests, trials, convictions, sentences, prison behaviours, and paroles -- so don't y'all say they had no documents!!
[FOX] Three would-be robbers were shot and killed Monday when an Oklahoma homeowner's son opened fire on them with an AR-15, authorities said.
Wagoner County sheriff's deputies were called to the home in Broken Arrow, southeast of Tulsa at around 12:30 p.m. local time. When they arrived, they found the three dead suspects and two uninjured residents.
Sheriff's spokesman Deputy Nick Mahoney said the suspects enetered the home through a glass back door with the intent to burglarize it. It was not immediately clear why they picked that home. They were just lucky.
Mahoney said the suspects encountered the homeowner's 19-year-old son, who opened fire after an exchange of words. Two of the suspects died in the home's kitchen while a third was found in the driveway.
It was not immediately clear whether the suspects were armed, but Mahoney said the preliminary investigation indicated the shootings were in self-defense. The homeowner's son volunteered to give a statement at the sheriff's office.
This is very, very unusual for us [in Wagoner County]," Mahoney told the Tulsa World. "It's not something we're used to." Would you like more coffee and another piece of cake ? Click for more at OKCFox.com

Nice upscale community, underground utilities, newish 3-4 bdrm house, fresh sealed asphalt street,...19 year old son living at home with an AR handy, 3 dead suspects with whom words were exchanged and an unknown witness.
I would immediately assume a collection attempt on an unpaid drug debt was the motive.

My 89 year-old Grandmother shot a man who was on her screened front porch through the front door as he was trying to break in. Fortunately for him he survived. This was in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. She wasn't charged with anything.

If so - poor TTPs by the bad guys. Why not wait until he goes out to buy more drugs and thump him? I suspect these turds were just run of the mill ferals looking for an easy score of cash, phones, jewelry. They forgot about rule 223.

Perps were wearing masks, dressed in black and wearing gloves. Not your usual daytime 'debt collection' attire. Usually you would want the 'indebted' to know who was requesting payment.

An OK resident who is familiar with the area posted that the neighborhood had experienced a rash of break-in's lately. It's a bit early, but I will go out on a limb and predict a tapering.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A 35-year old man has admitted that he kidnapped and raped a 20-month old baby girl by laying her down and opening her diaper, in a crime that has left many Egyptians in shock this week.
The girl’s life was saved after suffering severe damages to her private genital parts and huge blood loss as a result from the attack, local media reported.
The rapist confessed to his crime saying that he kidnapped the girl after seeing her on the home’s balcony shortly after Friday prayers. He admitted taking her into an empty room, then removed her diaper before "raping her with his fingers," leaving the victim in a pool of her own blood.
The victim’s mother filed a complained against the rapist, saying that, "until now, she cannot believe what has happened to her daughter."
"My daughter can’t utter the words mama and papa yet, and all of this has happened to her. My heart is burning and there’s nothing I can do for her," the mother said.
"Execution is not even enough," said the victim’s grandfather. "I don’t know how a 35-year-old person can do this to a child who is a year and 8 months old, who cannot even speak yet and still wears diapers."
Egypt's prosecution have ordered a four-day detention for the rapist pending further investigation into the case.
A psychiatrist commenting on the incident said the confessions of the rapist reveal that he suffers a mental disorder.
The incident, which occurred in a village at Egypt’s al-Daqahliyah Governorate, shocked Egyptian society, with social media users demanding nothing less than an execution for the rapist.
It was reported that an unknown assailant attempted to set the rapist’s home ablaze, but firefighters managed to put the fire out.

Sure, he's a rapist!
No mention of point of origin.

gorb, doesn't Sharia require four MALE witnesses to testify in cases of rape? No witnesses, no rape.
Of course, even if this creep gets off in court, his life is likely to be short.

[BBC] Veteran South African anti-apartheid activist Ahmed Kathrada has died aged 87, his foundation says. It says Mr Kathrada passed away peacefully in a Johannesburg hospital "after a short period of illness, following surgery to the brain".
Along with Nelson Mandela, Mr Kathrada was among eight African National Congress activists sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964. They were convicted of trying to topple the white minority government. Terrorism, sedition, murder...that sort of thing.
Apartheid was a legalised system of discrimination against non-white people introduced in South Africa in 1948.
[Guardian] For decades the NFL wanted nothing to do with Las Vegas. As the city boomed in the Nevada desert and other professional team sports at least dabbled with the idea of a Las Vegas franchise, the world’s most lucrative league stayed away. Even talking about Las Vegas meant opening the door to gambling and the NFL wasn’t going down that alley.
But now that Nevada has $750m of public money to offer the Oakland Raiders for a gleaming new stadium, the NFL is embracing Sin City. Even championing it. When the league’s owners approved the Raiders’ move to Las Vegas on Monday, their 31-1 vote was a formality. The NFL had already signaled their full acceptance of America’s gambling mecca. Old family gaming competition comes to an end. One takes the casinos, the other the stadium. Taxpayers front the bill and everyone is happy.
Everyone still watching, you mean? I assume the new stadium is enclosed and air conditioned.

Big sports franchise owners no longer have any loyalty to their fans. It is only a matter of time until the fans return the favor (looking at last years ratings that might already have started).
When micro-concussions start making headlines again few will stand up for the NFL owners and a lot of folks will side with players that were exploited and lied to because benefit of doubt dies with loyalty.
#11
Have you been to a Raiders home game recently? Oakland is a dump, the fans are gangbangers and playacting freaks for the most part, and the revenue base has to be shrinking year after year for any hope of new facilities. I'm no fan but getting out of the bay area and the 49's shadow can't be a bad economic choice. Maybe Spanos and the chargers can move upstate and leave the soccer stadium?
#12
Stephen Ross - Miami Dolphins was the no vote.
Heard that Oakland makes less than 1/2 of what the Cowboys make on stadium related revenue hence the need for a new stadium. When the original LV deal fell through Oakland tripled the rent they were charging the Raiders.
It's a typical scenario of greed and corruption all the way around.

Remember when the NFL commish was supposed to protect fans' interests and integrity of the League above the greedy interests of individual owners? No more. Goodell has green-lighted to two team moves in a single year.

So, do the Raiders now have to pick Kaepernick as their first rounder? Michael Sam coming back from the CFL?
The less support Egypt needs from Saudi Arabia the safer all concerned will be as the Saudis spend down their reserves.
[AlAhram] British Petroleum (BP) has made a gas discovery as part of the North Damietta Offshore Concession in Egypt's Nile Delta, the third such discovery in two years in same block, the company announced on Sunday.
The Qattameya Shallow-1 exploration well was drilled to a depth of 1,961 metres in water depth of around 108 metres, the company said.
"This latest discovery confirms our belief that the Nile Delta is a world-class basin," BP Chief Executive Bob Dudley said in a statement.
The well is 60 kilometres (37 miles) north of Damietta city in northern Egypt.
BP, which produces around 40 percent of Egypt's total gas, has 100 percent equity in the discovery.
This discovery by BP comes nearly two years after another discovery in the same area estimated to exceed 5 trillion cubic feet (tcf).
In June 2016, BP and Italia's Eni announced a "significant" gas discovery in the Baltim South West area estimated at 70-80 billion cubic metres of gas.
BP has been aiming to increase investments in Egypt, with plans to invest some $13 billion in the country before 2020, according to a November 2016 blurb by the UK embassy in Cairo.
In February, Egypt’s petroleum ministry, Italian company Eni and BP signed a deal in Cairo to complete the sale to BP of a 10 percent stake in the "super-giant" Zohr gas field in the Shorouk concession off Egypt’s Mediterranean shore.
Zohr, discovered by Eni in August 2015, is the largest gas field in the Mediterranean, estimated to contain 850 billion cubic metres of gas.
Egypt’s production of natural gas is currently estimated at around 4.4 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd), and is expected to increase by 1.5 bcfd by the end of 2017, according to a February statement by the petroleum ministry.
[WAPO] Ford will invest $1.2 billion to build or modernize three facilities in Michigan where it plans to assemble trucks and SUVs, and to store consumer data, a reflection of the trends that are fundamentally reshaping the auto industry’s business model and manufacturing operations in the U.S.
President Trump preempted the "big announcement" with an early morning tweet in which he touted, "Car companies coming back to U.S. JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!" Trump has pointed to a series of investments in domestic manufacturing that automakers have recently announced as a sign his administration is delivering on its economic promise to bring jobs back to the United States. Ford, Fiat-Chrysler and General Motors, among other companies, got early mentions in his joint address to Congress last month for investing and hiring in the U.S.
But such massive investment decisions take longer to plan and execute than Trump has been in office. The investments Ford announced Tuesday, for example, are part of a 2015 contract between the automaker and United Auto Workers in which the company agreed to invest $9 billion and create or retain 8,500 jobs through 2019.
Joseph Hinrichs, Ford’s president for the Americas, said in an interview that the company reached out to Trump shortly before 8 a.m. this morning about the announcement, so it is unclear what prompted the president’s 140-character missive at 6:36 a.m. The Detroit News reported the investments Monday night in a story citing anonymous sources.
[AlAhram] As polling stations opened Monday in Germany, acrimony has been rising among the Turks here whose votes are crucial in the tight race over whether to expand the powers of Turkish President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... The 1.4 million eligible Turkish voters in Germany represent about half the total number of expatriates who can cast ballots, and the fight for their support has been fierce.
So far the headlines have focused on tensions between the two leaders. Erdogan, who has been trying to woo the Turks in Germany with rallies and rhetoric, has accused German officials of acting like Nazis for blocking his supporters from holding rallies ahead of the referendum. The move infuriated many in Germany, prompting Chancellor Angela Merkel

[Breitbart] Riots have broken out in Paris with cars burned and property damaged after a man said to be of Chinese extraction was shot by police in his home.
Cars were set alight in Paris’ 19th district Monday evening after 56-year-old Shaoyo Liu died following a police raid after a domestic disturbance call. Mr Liu was reportedly armed with a pair of scissors, causing police to open fire and kill him, Le Figaro reports.
A crowd of between 150 and 200 people took to the streets to protest the police’s actions, most of them from Paris’ Chinese community. Journalist Rémy Buisine was able to shoot footage of police clashing with the protesters earlier this evening and posted the video on his Twitter account.
[DAWN] The trend of marriages between cousins, within a clan or caste should be discouraged as the number of children suffering from a group of genetic diseases, called Lysosomal Storage Disorder (LSD) in medical terminology, is on the rise.
Such children do not survive more than five years if not diagnosed and treated as early as possible. Treatment of LSD changes outcome from miserable death to a near normal but it is very expensive.
This was crux of speeches delivered by a panel of experts at a workshop arranged at Children’s Hospital by its Department of Paediatric Gastroenterology and Hepatology on Saturday.
The panel of experts comprised retired Maj Gen Prof Dr Salman Ali, an adviser to armed forces on paediatrics; Prof Dr Huma Arshad Cheema, the head of Children’s Hospital Paediatric Gastroenterology and Hepatology; Prof Tahir Shamsi, the project director of Bone Marrow Transplantation Center at Children’s Hospital; Dr Hani Akbar Rao and Dr Fareedudin.
The panel of speakers urged the government to take a step forward and support these patients by developing a policy for LSD.
Prof Dr Huma Arshad Cheema said LSD was caused by defect in special enzymes required to break down certain waste products in the body and the defect led to interference with normal cellular function. The symptoms include abnormal bony changes, recurrent chest infections, enlarged liver and spleen and Central Nervous System manifestation.
"The severity of disorder varies but symptoms start appearing as early as one year of age. Due to lack of awareness, diagnosis is often late and the affected children die at young age," she said while adding that family members of patients suffering from LSD have now started efforts to reach out to the government and other institutions for their support so that their children could get the required treatment and lead a normal life.
Dr Hani Akbar Rao while presenting an overview about the recent advancement of LSD in Pakistain said that every year more than 250 children are diagnosed with the disorder. Previously, it was challenging to diagnose LSD in Pakistain and the samples had to be sent to the US, the UK, Germany, Australia and India and the reports received after three to four months.
"Now, free testing facilities are available at major teaching hospitals at 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... , Lahore, Islamabad and Multan," she said, urging the government to set up more facilities for screening, early and accurate diagnosis, appropriate enzyme therapy and rehabilitation of the LSD patients.
Prof Dr Salman Ali said emphasis should be laid on creating awareness among people about LSD. Coordinated efforts by doctors, the government, philanthropists, NGOs, patients’ families, pharmaceutical companies and patient support groups were needed to combat LSD.
"The need of the hour is that the government should work out a scheme to provide free treatment to such patients, as the number of cases with such disorders is few and manageable at present.
"The government should also ensure availability of enzyme therapies for the treatment of affected children, so that they might lead as normal a life as possible, and contribute to the welfare of the country as responsible citizens," said Prof Ali.
Dr Fareedudin said centres should also be set up for diagnosing these disorders during pregnancy so as to limit the number of affected infants being born with the disorder.
The best way to limit the number of affected infants being born is to forbid cousin marriage. But that would be sensible.

The best way to limit the number of affected infants being born is to forbid cousin marriage practice contraception.
Generally the small community mix runs so deep beyond 'first cousins' that policy is not a preventative. 'Love' will not be denied, but it doesn't have to be productive.

Leaving aside the genetic consequences of own-granpa-ness for the moment...
If you live in a clan-based society, marrying within the clan makes sense. You don't lose wealth from dowry payments and such to outside groups, and you don't get involved in someone else's feuds, vendettas and responsibilities by creating ties to another clan.
Sure, your kids end up retarded with extra limbs, but you can't optimize for everything.

[DAWN] The Pakistain Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) on Monday issued a notification ruling against Aamir Liaquat, the host of Bol News TV show 'Aisay Nahi Chalay Ga', directing him to apologise on air to the viewers.
Liaquat had come under fire on social media when he went on air in his show on Jan 27 and levelled allegations of blasphemy against civil society activists and bloggers who had 'disappeared'. The regulatory authority had then taken action against the channel and the host by placing a ban on it.
However, a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all... a few weeks into the case, the Supreme Court had allowed Liaquat to continue hosting the show on the condition that the content aired will be devoid of hate speech.
It had further directed the controversial host to submit a reply, based on which the regulatory authority was to issue a decision.
Pemra, in its latest decision, directed the channel as well as Liaquat to apologise "unconditionally to the viewers" by "specifically naming all individual complainants against whom hate speech was aired".
The regulatory authority further directed both Bol News and the host to apologise separately and air it on or before March 31.

[UPI] - The U.S. Army Research Laboratory is studying the use of a body-worn weapons mount for soldiers to carry and fire their weapons.
The prototype mount is made of composite materials, weighs less than four pounds and is attached to a soldier's protective vest.
"We're looking at a new way for the soldier to interface with the weapon," Zac Wingard, a mechanical engineer for the lab's Weapons and Materials Research Directorate, told the Army News Service. "It is not a product; it is simply a way to study how far we can push the ballistic performance of future weapons without increasing soldier burden."
Some soldiers are weighed down by combat loads that weigh more than 110 pounds, Wingard said. Those heavy loads may worsen as high energy weapons, which could be larger with heavier ammunition, are developed for future warfare.
The laboratory is conducting a pilot program with a few soldiers using an M4 carbine on a firing range at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. As part of the pilot, soldiers wear electromyography sensors on their arms and upper body to measure muscle activity to determine if there's a change in fatigue when shooting with the device.

President Donald Trump will direct the federal government on Tuesday to begin dismantling his predecessor’s most significant climate change policies, with a sweeping directive telling agencies to stop trying to reduce the carbon pollution of electric utilities, oil and gas drillers and coal miners.
The executive order Trump will sign represents his biggest blow yet to former President Barack Obama’s climate legacy. But it does not go as far as some conservatives would like to dismantle the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to regulate greenhouse gases, nor will it begin to separate the U.S. from a landmark international climate accord -- two areas of intense disagreement within the administration. As long as practical results are the same.
