[Yahoo] The Justice Department said Friday it will surge additional law enforcement resources into Washington, D.C., to target violent crime and carjackings.
"Last year, we saw an encouraging decline in violent crime in many parts of the country, but there is much more work to do - including here in the District of Columbia," Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said in a statement.
"This surge in law enforcement resources will build on the department's efforts to target the individuals and organizations that are driving violent crime in the nation's capital."
Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, was the victim of an armed carjacking in Washington in October. At that time, the nation's capital had seen 750 carjackings, with three-quarters of them involving guns during the year.
FBI crime statistics for 2022 released in October showed murder, rape, aggravated assault and robbery all decreased.
Matthew Graves, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, said in a Friday statement, "We have been surgically targeting and prosecuting those driving violence within our community. The surge of resources to these efforts will allow us to continue to expand on these efforts and to take even more drivers of violence off our streets."
Additional DOJ crime-fighting resources for Washington will include a Gun Violence Analytic Cell led by the FBI and including Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Drug Enforcement Administration agents to identify more federal investigations that should be opened to fight the violent crime and carjackings.
More federal prosecutors will also be assigned to work violent crime cases, we well. The U.S. Attorney in Washington also will move more prosecutors within the Superior Court docket to focus on carjacking and gun cases, a news release said.
In February 2023, U.S. Rep.Angie Craig, D-Minn., was attacked in the elevator of her Washington apartment building. Her attacker was sentenced in November to 27 months in prison.
In her victim impact statement, she said her attacker grabbed her neck, punched her and slammed her into a steel wall as she was trapped in the elevator.
FBI crime statistics for 2022 released in October showed murder, rape, aggravated assault and robbery all decreased.
Decreased in the recorded statistics, anyway, even if not in real life. Is the chief District prosecutor another Soros protégé, or just a fellow traveller?

Home rule is in jeopardy. By the Constitution its up to Congress to run it. If it looks like the Feds can't get a grip on it there its another big hit to their legitimacy.

Happened to acquaintance, a Brigadier in charge of personnel promotions and assignments in another country. He and his staff were not impressed with officers holding Frunze and Magistratura credentials. He was INSTRUCTED regarding whom to promote and place regardless of their CV's. Wasn't long until he was instructed to take a 'buy-out' and leave the service just short of retirement.

[IsraelTimes] As the Jewish state defends itself against Hamas, German historian publishes book on largely forgotten ‘impudent Jews’ who resisted Nazis despite harsh consequences.
For decades, Israel’s attempts to defend itself have been called "impudent" by critics around the world. This has not changed during the ongoing war in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... But the "impudent Jew" pejorative emerged decades before the state of Israel. In Imperial and Weimar Germany, the slur was regularly used against Jews in defamation prosecutions.

If it really is a Christian church (which I doubt), it should say "Christ reigns," not "I reign."

[Regnum] The transit of ships in both directions was suspended in the Bosphorus Strait in Turkey due to an accident on one of the dry cargo ships. RIA Novosti reported this on January 27, citing a source in the coast guard.
It is clarified that a cargo ship sailing under the flag of Barbados blocked the Bosphorus Strait on the evening of January 27.
“The 80-meter bulk carrier SNP Pazar experienced an engine problem while sailing through the Bosphorus near the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, which led to a temporary halt in transit through the strait in both directions,” the source explained.
According to ship trackers, the ship is heading to the port of Kalymnos in Greece.
Ship trackers show the ship was heading to the Greek port of Kalymnos. According to the source, coast guard boats tried to tow the cargo ship in order to unblock the Bosphorus Canal, which is vital for logistics, connecting the Black Sea with the Marmara Sea, and then, through the Dardanelles, with the Mediterranean.
Earlier, Regnum news agency reported that on January 21, the oil tanker Peria, flying the flag of Liberia, blocked traffic in the Bosphorus Strait. The media reported that the tanker's anchor broke due to bad weather.
The strait remained blocked for 14 hours. According to the Turkish Coast Guard, the passage of ships resumed on the evening of January 21.

Amazing how fragile the supply chain really is.

Seems the strait should be on someone's target list for a big boomboom.

[Regnum] In Peru, scientists recently discovered the origins of mysterious “alien mummies” that are said to be about a thousand years old, according to a RIA Novosti report.
In September 2023, Mexican journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan presented the mummies of two “humanoids” in the country’s parliament. He claimed that the remains were about a thousand years old and were of non-human origin. At the same time, the DNA of bodies only 60 centimeters high, as Maussan stated, is only 30% different from the human genetic material.
The agency's material notes that the sensation shocked Mexican parliamentarians and they postponed discussions for two months. After this, in November, the ufologist invited anthropologist Roger Zuniga from the National University of Aloysius Gonzaga in Ica to a meeting of the Mexican Congress. He also confirmed Maussan’s words and stated that he had already studied five similar alien mummies. The rapper even spoke at the meeting, Claudio Jarto, who stated that he allegedly personally saw a UFO.
As a result, specialists from the National Institute of Forensic Medicine and Criminology in Peru decided to understand the hoax. In January they presented a report in which they completely debunked the Maussan sensation. Scientists have found that mummies actually contain parts of non-human origin, but not aliens, but animals.
Scientists conducted an X-ray study. It showed that, for example, the head of one of the mummies is the skull of a mammal. Institute employee Flavio Estrada explained that the skull belongs to a llama or alpaca, the bones belong to birds, and ordinary stones were found in mummies.
As for the ufologist Maussan, he may now face trial, since the “alien mummies” may be skeletal remains of the pre-Hispanic period and a museum exhibit. As a result, a criminal case was opened in Peru regarding their illegal export.
It is worth noting that such mysterious finds are not uncommon. Thus, in a Buddhist temple in Japan there is a mummy with a fish tail. In 2022, specialists were allowed to study it; it turned out that it actually contained the bones of the dorsal fin of a large fish, as well as paper, fabric, cotton wool and plaster. Despite this, the mummy was left in the temple, since local residents were already accustomed to coming to it and praying.
As Regnum reported, in 2020, American scientists discovered an unusual artifact in the body of a two-thousand-year-old Egyptian mummy. Scientists examined the mummy of a five-year-old child using computed tomography and found in it an object made of calcite with steel wire.
In August 2023, residents of a small village in Peru asked the authorities for protection from an attack by alien big-headed creatures. Residents spoke of attacks by creatures about two meters tall, with large heads and yellow eyes. However, firearms do not harm them. Moreover, a resident contacted the police and said that one of the aliens had attacked the girl and scratched her neck.
At the same time, Stanford University professor Harry Nolan, at a conference entitled “The Pentagon, Extraterrestrial Intelligence and Crashed UFOs” in New York in May 2023, stated that aliens have already visited Earth, and some remain among people.
