[NBCNews] President Donald Trump recently announced another wave of judicial nominees, and among them is an openly gay conservative, Patrick Bumatay.
Trump nominated Bumatay to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, based in San Francisco, the nation’s largest federal appeals court. It hears cases from nine Western states and has 29 judges; there are currently six vacancies. Take that libtards
Bumatay is an assistant U.S. attorney in California handling various criminal issues, including opioid abuse and transnational organized crime, according to the White House. He went to Yale and Harvard Law School, and the White House said Bumatay is a member of the National Filipino American Lawyers Association, the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association and the Tom Homann LGBT Law Association.
Bumatay is the second openly gay person Trump has nominated for the federal bench, according to the Washington Blade. The first was Mary Rowland, a magistrate judge who Trump nominated to be on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in June; she is waiting to be confirmed by the Senate.
There is currently only one openly gay federal appeals court judge in the U.S., according to the Washington Blade: Todd Hughes, who was nominated by President Barack Obama in 2013 to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
California's two senators, both Democrats, Dianne Feinstein, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Kamala Harris, have come out against Bumatay's nomination. The Associated Press reported that Feinstein and Harris are opposing the nominations of Bumatay and two other judicial nominees because the California lawmakers were not consulted prior to their nominations. You took the deal to run away and campaign at home lady. You live with it.

Openly homosexual, Filipino (person of colour), California, Harvard and Yale... and conservative? Sounds like a Rantburg kind of guy. Perhaps he can rule on Twitter’s ban of Gay Patriot.
Amusing that in his second year in office President Trump has already doubled Mr. Obama’s count of one homosexual appointed —and that in eight years.
[NYPOST] A North Carolina state trooper has been shot and killed, and a suspect is in jug.
State highway patrol front man Michael Baker says the suspect fired several shots as the trooper approached his vehicle during a traffic stop around 12:15 a.m. Wednesday. The trooper died at a local hospital.
Baker says the suspect fled to Fair Bluff, where he was pursued by police until his vehicle became disabled on railroad tracks. The suspect fled on foot and was taken into custody around 4 a.m.
The identities of the trooper and suspect weren’t immediately released.
The trooper was shot on US 701 near Whiteville, in southeastern North Carolina. Fair Bluff is around 20 miles west of Fair Bluff, close to the South Carolina state line.

When I was a kid we were going through the Carolinas when a waitress advised us to be "careful if the Highway Patrol pulled us over." It seems that because of criminals hauling semi-trailer loads of (tobacco) cigarettes down the back roads to avoid state taxes there had been a number of fatal shooting of officers over the preceding months -- 1 or 2 a month.
So it isn't necessarily a BLM/crazy problem in that area.
[CBSNews] A 43-year old Iowa City woman has been charged with homicide after a brutal crime involving her 49-year old husband, who she had recent discovered had been having an affair with a much younger woman.
The wife, who is being held in custody, is believed to have sourced plastic explosives through an online dark web retailer that only accepts payment with cryptocurrency. According to investigators, she made the purchase after discovering her husband was cheating.
"The woman was enraged to find out her husband had been having an affair for several years with a 24-year old woman he’d met through an online ’sugar daddy’ dating website." The wife was devastated and decided that to get her revenge, she would seek a very unusual method.
"A search of her computer reveals she purchased a small quantity of plastic explosives from a site on the dark web. We believe that she drugged her husband with sleeping pills to sedate him so she could put her plan into action."
It is alleged that the woman inserted the plastic explosives into the anus of her sleeping husband, before detonating them remotely. Investigators found a webcam in the debris which they believe she used to watch her husband explode.
The husband died instantly in the explosion which was loud enough that a neighbor in a nearby house called 911, leading investigators to the gory scene. The woman’s name is being suppressed until the man’s next of kin have been contacted.

So the explosion killed him and he was unaware of the humiliation and it's his backside so won't effect the burial.
If CBS had any integrity they would have just reported that she killed him with plastic explosives instead of putting this out there to make his family feel horrific about his end. But they were probably snickering and knew she'd become a feminist hero among the emotionally immoral set.

[IsraelTimes] General Assembly votes overwhelmingly to grant additional powers to Ramallah for 12 months of its presidency of 134-nation Group of 77; Israel, US and Australia opposed.
The General Assembly on Tuesday voted by an overwhelming majority to temporarily grant the "State of Paleostine" additional rights and privileges, allowing it to head the biggest bloc of developing countries at the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... A whopping 146 states voted in favor of Resolution A/73/L.5, while only three countries ‐ the US, Israel and Australia ‐ opposed it. Fifteen countries abstained. US ambassador Nikki Haley ...Trump administration's ambassador to the UN. First woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and the second Indian-American governor in the country, after Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. At the age of 39, Haley was the youngest governor in the U.S., a distinction formerly held by Jindal. She is a Republican, which really grates on the Dems... branded the move "a mistake."
Paleostine’s delegates will be able co-sponsor proposals and amendments, make statements, and raise procedural motions. They will have these extra rights for the duration of its chairmanship of the Group of 77, the largest bloc of developing nations at the UN. The Paleostinians will assume the bloc’s presidency on January 1, 2019, and hold it for one year.

Paleostine ‐ which is not a member state of the UN but has observer state status ‐ was chosen in July to head the so-called G77 plus China, a consortium now consisting of 134 nations that often speaks in one voice at the General Assembly.
Haley said the UN should not have ben able to do so, recalling that the "Paleostinians are not a UN member state or any state at all" and should not be granted privileges reserved for full-fledged members.
"Today’s UN mistake undermines the prospects for peace by encouraging the illusion held by some Paleostinian leaders that they can advance their goals without direct peace negotiations," said Haley in a statement.
After the vote, several European states said their yes votes should not be construed as a recognition of Paleostinian statehood. Rather, it was intended to guarantee Paleostine’s successful chairmanship of the G77, the envoys of Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom said in their respective remarks.
They also welcomed the fact that the extension of Paleostine’s privileges was limited in time.
[IsraelTimes] A senior Egyptian intelligence official arrived in the Gazoo Strip on Tuesday, the Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw,-linked Paleostinian Information Center reported, two days before Egyptian General Intelligence Services chief Abbas Kamel is slated to visit the coastal enclave.
Ahmed Abdelkhaliq, the head of the Paleostinian file in the Egyptian General Intelligence Services, entered Gazoo through the Erez crossing Tuesday afternoon, where he was greeted by Tawfiq Abu Naim, the head of the Hamas-run security apparatus in the coastal enclave, the Paleostinian Information Center report said.
Reports in other Hamas-affiliated news sites said Abdelkhaliq is expected to hold talks with Hamas leaders about intra-Paleostinian reconciliation.
Egypt has recently made efforts to revive the reconciliation process between Hamas and Fatah, hosting leaders from the two rival parties for separate talks in Cairo in the past month.
In October 2017, Hamas and Fatah signed an Egyptian-brokered deal to advance reconciliation and bring the West Bank and Gazoo under one government, but they failed to implement it.
The reports in the Hamas-linked news sites also said Abdelkhaliq is slated to speak to Hamas leaders about a possible ceasefire between the terror group and Israel.
Egypt, alongside United Nations ...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society... special coordinator for the Middle East grinding of the peace processor Nikolay Mladenov, has recently played a key role in attempts to mediate a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel.
Abdelkhaliq will also be preparing for the arrival of Kamel in Gazoo on Thursday for meetings with Hamas leaders in the Strip, the Paleostinian Information Center report added, citing a security source.
Kamel has not visited Gazoo since taking over as the head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Services earlier this year.
Later this week, Kamel will also be visiting Israel to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat, and Shin Bet chief Nadav Argaman, Channel 10 reported last Thursday.
Following his visits to Gazoo and Israel, Kamel will also head to Ramallah to meet with Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... , the New Arab, a London-based news outlet, reported.
Ramallah-based Paleostinian officials have said Fatah-Hamas reconciliation should precede any possible ceasefire. They have also contended that the Paleostine Liberation Organization is the sole party with the legitimacy to negotiate a ceasefire with Israel.
[IsraelTimes] Russian, Syrian outlets say the teams got instruction from their Ukrainian counterparts on capabilities of advanced missile defense system that Putin just gave Assad.
There was no comment on the reports from either Israel or the US.
[IsraelTimes] IDF says around 100 protesters clash with troops along boundary; several cross into Israeli territory but return when soldiers fire warning shots
Sections of the security fence along the border with the Gazoo Strip were damaged Tuesday by bombs set off by Paleostinian rioters in the southern Strip, the Israel Defense Forces said.
In a separate incident, a group of Paleostinians broke through the Gazoo security fence and approached an IDF post. Troops fired warning shots at the men, who ran back into Gazoo, the army said in a statement.
Approximately 100 Paleostinians clashed with troops along the border, according to the army. IDF units responded with tear gas and live fire. Two Paleostinians were maimed in festivities with Israeli troops, the Shehab news agency reported.
The violence came hours after Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman called on his fellow ministers to approve a large-scale military campaign against the Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, terror group in Gazoo in light of the ongoing riots.
According to the defense minister’s assessment, a "serious blow" to Hamas would result in four to five years of calm along the Gazoo border ‐ akin to the quiet that persisted from the end of the 2014 Gazoo war, known in Israel as Operation Protective Edge, until the start of the current round of festivities in late March ‐ a few limited skirmishes notwithstanding.
On Monday an Israeli military aircraft bombed a Hamas position in the southern Gazoo Strip after two Paleostinian men set off an bomb near the security fence earlier in the day, the army said at the time.
There were no immediate reports of Paleostinian injuries in the Arclight airstrike.
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...Qatar's colony in Asia Minor.... will not tolerate any YPG presence inside the Aleppo Governorate city of Manbij, Ottoman Turkish President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey... said on Tuesday.
According to the Ottoman Turkish President, the U.S. has not fulfilled its obligations from the June agreement.
"We cannot say a 90-day timeline on [the YPG withdrawal from] Manbij has been implemented. It has not. We know what we will do if it is not implemented. If necessary steps are not taken in the eastern Euphrates and if the process is delayed, we will take all the necessary steps at the highest level against the YPG/PYD, more precisely against the PKK," Erdogan stated, as quoted by the Hurriyet Daily.
While Turkey has not increased their military presence in Manbij, this could ultimately change if the U.S. fails to remove the remaining YPG fighters from the city.
Currently, the YPG has a large presence inside and outside of Manbij; they also maintain close ties with the Manbij Military Council, who they fought next to during their fight against the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) in northern Syria.

[ALMASDARNEWS] A large Ottoman Turkish military convoy entered northwest Syria from the Hatay Province this morning, opposition activists reported via social media.
According to the reports, the Ottoman Turkish military sent more than ten armored vehicles through the Bab al-Hawa Crossing in northern Idlib.
Furthermore, the Ottoman Turkish military convoy was reportedly escorted by a large number of fighters from the Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... ’s (FSA) al-Sham Corps.
The Ottoman Turkish military convoy traveled to their observation posts near the Syrian Arab Army’s front-lines in the Idlib and Hama provinces.
This move by the Ottoman Turkish military comes just 24 hours after the jihadist rebels refused to leave the designated buffer zone in the Idlib, Aleppo, Latakia, and Hama governorates.
The Ottoman Turkish military will likely attempt to convince the jihadist rebels to leave the buffer zone before the Russian and Syrian forces decide to launch an operation to expel them from the region.

[ALMASDARNEWS] US President 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... said on Tuesday that he has no business interests in either Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... or Russia, dismissing reports to the contrary as fake news.
"For the record, I have no financial interests in Saudi Arabia (or Russia, for that matter). Any suggestion that I have is just more FAKE NEWS (of which there is plenty)!" Trump said in a Twitter message.
At the same time, multiple media reports have noted Trump’s past business dealings with the Saudis, including Trump’s claim from a 2015 rally during which he said the kingdom spent millions of dollars on apartments in Trump’s New York buildings and other properties.
In addition, CNN reported that a lobbying firm for Saudi Arabia has spent more than $270,000 between October 2016 and March 2017 at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC.
There are also reports that according to public records, Trump registered eight limited-liability companies with ties to possible deals in Saudi Arabia.
Four were dissolved or canceled two months after their creation, and the other four were dissolved or canceled after November of 2016.

[PRESSTV] Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says bandidosturbans have kidnapped a number of Iranian forces in the southeastern Province of Sistan-and-Baluchestan, which borders Pakistain.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the IRGC confirmed that local Basij volunteer forces and border guards had been among those kidnapped overnight near the town of Mirjaveh on the Pak border.
Members of "terrorist groups led and backed by foreign services" carried out the kidnappings by "deceiving and bribing infiltrators."
Iranian security forces, it added, are preparing to carry out operations to chase the bandidosturbans and secure the release of those kidnapped.
Earlier in the day, Iranian media quoted informed sources as saying that 14 Iranian forces had been kidnapped in the village of Lulakdan near Mirjaveh.
The Fars news agency later revised down the number of abductees to 11.
Media reports are also speculating that the abductees had been fed poison by the bandidosturbans prior to being crossed over into Pakistain.
In recent, Iranian border guards have repeatedly come under attacks by terror outfits active on the Pak soil.
The so-called Jaish ul-Adl terror group ‐ which is based in Pakistain ‐ usually claims responsibility for such assaults.
Tehran has repeatedly filed protests with Islamabad over its failure to end terror activities on the Pak side of the border. Two neighbors had signed a security deal in 2013.

[PRESSTV] The vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) says he predicts there is "no way" that Republicans would be able to preserve their majority in the US House of Representatives.
Michael Blake made the comment in an interview with The Hill on Tuesday, three weeks before the midterm elections.
"There is no way the Republicans are going to hold the House," he said, downplaying reports of GOP voters becoming more motivated to cast their ballots.
The DNC official said the upcoming elections was becoming similar to 2016 in that many disaffected voters eventually decided to reconcile with their party.
"At the end of the day, the polling has essentially leveled out where we expected. People came back home," he said.
Blake, however, said a repeat of the last presidential election is unlikely as Democrats have learned from their former presidential nominee Perennial Presidential Campaigner Hillary Crooked Hillary Clinton ... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away... ’s decision to take certain states’ votes for granted.
"The biggest difference is that we didn’t mobilize our base," Blake said. "When you look at Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania in particular, we did not mobilize as Democrats in these areas that we should have. If you don’t campaign in Wisconsin after losing in the primary, if you don’t mobilize in Western Michigan, you don’t mobilize in Western Pennsylvania, you’re going to lose those states."

He could be right. Or he could be whistling past the graveyard. Time will tell.

Judicial Watch, I believe found that there are some 3.5 million more registered voters than there are live adults in the US. San Diego led that charge with something over 800,000, uh, additional registers vs actual adult population.

Why would anybody expect a DNC liar official to say anything positive about the RNC's chances? The more they talk the more it seems that they are nervous.
#6
I've had a gut hunch that there isn't a blue wave for a while. The party in power usually loses seats during the mid terms like clockwork. But this isn't usual times.
I predict the dems will either be a few seats short or a few seats over for the House. It will basically be deadlocked for the next 2 years.
As for the Senate, the pubs will actually gain 2-3 seats.
So if there is sometime of impeachment push from the house, it certainly won't go anywhere. Expect more deadlock and little of nothing happening for the next couple years.

A lot of this is self inflicted - several GOP candidates screwed up, and the seats will flip back the next term once they put a decent candidate up.
Senat on the other hand is looking like 54 and maybe as many as 56-7 seats. So go ahead and tryo to impeach Trump - the Senate is where the trial is held, and they'll dismiss it right away.

[BREITBART] Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar has deleted an Instagram post in which he referred to his grandfather, Paleostinian terrorist Muhammad Yusef al-Najjar, as a "legend."
Muhammad Yusef al-Najjar was "was "a senior member of the Paleostinian terrorist group Black September that murdered 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics," according to the Times of Israel, and a deputy for Paleostine Liberation Organization (PLO) leader Yasser Arafat.
Earlier this year, when Campa-Najjar’s roots were first reported, he condemned his grandfather’s actions and supported peace.
But in a 2015 Instagram post praising his father, who is a former Paleostinian Authority (PA) official and Paleostinian ambassador, Campa-Najjar referred to his grandfather as a "legend." He offered no criticism or condemnation of his grandfather’s terrorist acts.
Breitbart News reported the existence of that Instagram post on Monday, as well as another in which he noted that his family was close to Yasser Arafat’s. The Campa-Najjar campaign declined to comment, and by Tuesday both posts had been taken down, and the account made "private." Both posts, however, survive as screen shots.

"This guy has got to go. Saudi Arabia, if you’re listening. There’s a lot of good people you can choose, but MBS has tainted your country and tainted himself," Graham said, abbreviating the crown prince’s name
"I think he’s on a bad track. I can never do business with Saudi Arabia again until we get this behind us," the senator added.
The South Carolina politician made the remarks as he discussed the possible murder of dissident Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in the Ottoman Turkish city of Istanbul.
US intelligence intercepts show that Khashoggi, who was last seen entering the Saudi mission on October 2, was murdered on bin Salman’s direct order.
Ottoman Turkish officials have also obtained recordings that prove he was indeed murder at the hands of Saudi killing squads. There are reports that bin Salman’s personal guard carried out the murder and took Khashoggi’s dismembered body back to Saudi Arabia.
Riyadh, however, has firmly denied any knowledge of the journalist’s fate.
Garaham said he had no doubt that Khashoggi was murdered and bin Salman was aware of this. He also regretted defending Saudi Arabia on the Senate floor now that the "toxic" crown prince had become the putative king.

You are working against me you idiot. I AM not losing that Kingdom over some chopped up terrorist propagandist. And as far as I remember, Obama gave them the go ahead to do just that.
However, I think this may be a set up to make him look bad. Either way, I AM not losing this Kingdom over this. Iran is my focus.

Settle down, Beavis. This is a story about a Saudi national with Turk citizenship who used his position with a U.S. publication to "opine" (read "screw around with") about the Saudi govt.
The Rocket Scientist then goes to the Saudi embassy in Istanbul and disappears. Funny how that can happen to some people with his history and enemies.
This, "moral" issues aside, is not a U.S. issue. Think of as a "rendition in extremis."

[WASHINGTONTIMES] A Florida mother says she received an apology from Kirby-Smith Middle School officials after an employee told her son to turn a GOP elephant shirt inside out.
"Spirit Week" at the Jacksonville school recently inspired one student to show off his conservative credentials, but the outfit didn’t sit well with a staff member. The family, who spoke to local news hounds on condition of anonymity, said the shirt was described as a possible dress code violation.
"It was Nerd Day, so he wanted to be a Republican nerd," the student’s mother said Oct. 12.
A Duval County Public School spokesperson told the station that a staff member was confused about the difference between its employee dress code and the student dress code.

[RADIOSHABELLE] At least one soldier was killed and two others injured in fierce fighting with suspected al-Shabaab ... the personification of Somali state failure... fighters in Middle Shabelle region.
Reports say the fighting flared up after heavily armed fighters stormed checkpoint in the south of Jowhar town.
The attack which shattered months of relative peace in the town took place just a few meters away from the presidential palace of Hirshabelle state.
Relative calm has returned to State’s administrative after last night’s attack on the town by the fighters.
Both Hirshabelle and al-Shabaab have not commented on the attack in Jowhar town.
The latest attack comes on the heel of coordinated security operations by Somali forces against al-Shabaab.
Last Saturday, Somali forces killed six al-Shabaab suspected fighters following heavy fighting between the sides.
Despite the loss of many towns to Somali forces backed by continental troops, al-Shabaab struggles to overthrow the Somali government.

[PRESSTV] Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says a high-ranking commander of the ISISTakfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... terrorist group, who apparently criminal masterminded the recent deadly terror attack in the southwestern Iranian city of Ahvaz, has been killed in Iraq’s eastern province of Diyala.
The IRGC public relations department announced in a statement released on Tuesday evening that the high-profile bad boy, better known by the nom de guerre Abu Dhoha, was killed along with four assistants in an ambush carried out by the Iraqi pro-government Popular Mobilization Units ‐ commonly known by the Arabic word Hashd al-Sha’abi.
On October 1, the IRGC rained surface-to surface ballistic missiles on the positions of ISIS in eastern Syria, which along with the al-Ahwazia separatist group took responsibility for the September 22 terrorist attack in Ahvaz.
The IRGC announced in a statement that the missiles were launched at 2 am local time (2230 GMT September 31) from the western Iranian city of Kermanshah.

[An Nahar] A flight attendant fell out of an Air India plane while trying to close its door on Monday, the airline said, reportedly breaking her leg when she landed on the tarmac.
The accident occurred at Mumbai's international airport as the crew were getting ready to welcome passengers aboard the New Delhi-bound flight.
"The cabin crew member fell off while closing the back door of the Boeing 777 and sustained injuries on Monday morning," Pravin Bhatnagar, a senior manager at Air India, told AFP.
"She is receiving treatment in hospital. An investigation will be carried out to determine the exact cause of the incident."
Indian media reports said the woman, a 52-year-old, was conscious but had leg fractures.
A spokesperson for Nanavati Hospital, where the flight attendant was taken, was not immediately available for comment. "I can say no more!" when contacted by AFP.
Debt-laden Air India has been hit by a string of technical glitches and other embarrassing incidents, including staff turning up late for flights, over the years.
The state carrier last week grounded two pilots after one of its jets carrying 136 people hit an airport perimeter wall on take-off and then flew for almost four hours with a damaged body before landing safely.

[An Nahar] The two Koreas and the US-led United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... Command held talks Tuesday on demilitarising a section of the heavily fortified border dividing the peninsula, as a diplomatic thaw gathers pace.
"The three parties examined the progress in removing landmines at the Joint Security Area (JSA)...and discussed other practical matters regarding steps toward disarming the area," Seoul's defense ministry said in a statement.
The JSA, also known as the truce village of Panmunjom, is the only spot along the tense, 250-kilometre (155-mile) frontier where troops from the two countries stand face to face.
It was a designated neutral zone until the "axe murder incident" in 1976, when North Korean soldiers attacked a work party trying to chop down a tree inside the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), leaving two US army officers dead.
South and North Korea -- which are technically still at war -- agreed to take measures to ease military tensions on their border at a meeting in Pyongyang last month between President Moon Jae-in and Kim Pudge Jong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... .

[An Nahar] Iran's Revolutionary Guards have carried out 700 dronezaps against forces of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group (IS) in Syria, its aerospace chief told conservative news agency Fars on Tuesday.
"Our bomber drones have carried out 700 military operations using smart bombs against ISIS," said Brigadier General Amirali Hajizadeh, using the Arabic acronym for IS.
"They were used in eliminating tanks, personnel carriers, cars used for suicide kabooms and 23- millimetre cannons -- these were targets prized by ISIS and we significantly turned the tide of battle," he added.
The guards most recently used military drones against IS targets in Syria on October 1, in retaliation for a deadly attack in September on a military parade in Iran's southwest claimed by the holy warrior group.
Seven military drones as well as six ballistic missiles struck the "IS headquarters" in the eastern Syrian town of Hajin, about 24 kilometres (15 miles) north of Albu Kamal bordering Iraq, state TV reported.
Iranian media said published images indicated the drones were locally-produced "Saegheh" craft, reverse-engineered from a US RQ-170 Sentinel captured by Iran in 2011.
Iran's armed forces chief of staff, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, said at the time that the strikes were the first time the drones had "crossed multiple countries and reached their targets."
It was also the first time Iran had officially announced it was using combat drones outside of its borders, the conservative Tasnim news agency said.

[An Nahar] The Egyptian army said Tuesday that 450 jihadists are estimated to have been killed in its eight-month offensive against the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group in the Sinai Peninsula.
The military launched a large-scale operation dubbed "Sinai 2018" in February to rid Sinai of IS jihadists after an attack on a mosque in the north of the peninsula that killed more than 300 people.
Since the start of the campaign, 450 jihadists were presumed to have been killed "in the north and the center of Sinai by (soldiers) and police," army front man Tamer al-Rifai told AFP.
According to army figures, around 30 soldiers have been killed during the operation.
Jihadists began an insurgency in Egypt after the 2013 ouster of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi, who was forced out by the military in the face of mass protests against his rule and that of his Moslem Brüderbund.
The army on Tuesday rejected criticism from rights groups over the impact on civilians of its campaign in Sinai.
It says that people in the peninsula support its operation and receive humanitarian aid.
"All air strikes are carried out by the army outside residential areas," Rifai said on Tuesday.
Journalists are barred from going to areas targeted in the Sinai 2018 campaign, although the army organized a rare visit to the North Sinai capital El-Arish in July.
A countrywide state of emergency was imposed in April last year, following two suicide kabooms at churches which were claimed by IS.
On Tuesday, President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi extended the measure by a further three months.
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Security Chief of Samangan province Haji Khawani has been killed along with several police soldiers in an attack by the Talibs, the local officails said.
Provincial governor Abdul Rauf Ibrahimi confirmed the Security Chief of Samangan and his comrades were killed in an attack in Dara Suf district late on Monday night.
Ibrahimi further added that the Security Chief and his comrades had visited the district to help improve the security situation of the district when they came under attack.
According to Ibrahimi, the Haji Khawani and his comrades bit the dust after resisting the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... attack for several hours.
He did not disclose further information regarding the exact number of security personnel killed in the attack.
However, there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly... certain security sources are saying that Haji Khawani and at least 40 police soldiers have bit the dust.

[DAILYCALLER] Republican Rep. Martha McSally criticized her Democratic challenger Rep. Kyrsten Sinema during the Arizona Senate debate on Monday for saying she doesn’t care if Americans want to fight for the Taliban ...Arabic for students... "CNN reported that in 2003, while [Sinema] was on the radio, [she] said it was okay for Americans to join the Taliban to fight against us," McSally said. "You said you had no problem with that!"
McSally’s comment was in reference to audio that surfaced while Sinema was on a radio show with a libertarian activist.
"As an individual, if I want to go fight in the Taliban army, I go over there and I’m fighting for the Taliban. I’m saying that’s a personal decision," the host said in the interview.
"Fine," Sinema responded. "I don’t care if you want to do that, go ahead."

[PULSE.NG] Members of the House of Representatives have called on the Federal Government to commence negotiations with Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... Speaking on the matter, Hon. Chike Okafor said there is an urgent need to negotiate with the terror group so those in their custody can be released.
He said "The Federal Government should open a negotiation channel immediately and put all possible efforts on table to secure an agreeable bargain for the safe release of the abductees.
"Mr Speaker, the Boko Haram sect has taken a horrible path of executing these helpless and selfless voluntary health workers who gave their time on earth for the care and wellness of devastated Boko Haram victims."
HAUWA LIMAN KILLED This is coming after the terror group killed a Red Thingy staff, Hauwa Liman on Monday, October 15, 2018.
They also said that they will keep the Dapchi school girl who refused to denounce Christianity, Leah Sharibu as their slave for life.
BOKO HARAM WARNED FG Boko Haram warned that they would execute Liman if they didn’t hear from the Federal Government.
The group gave the warning after they killed another Red Thingy staff, Saifura Ahmed in September 2018.
"We contacted the government through writing and also sent audio messages but the government have ignored us. So, here is a message of blood.
"The other nurse and midwife will be executed in similar manner in one month, including Leah Sharibu," it warned.
Buhari consoles Hauwa Liman’s father

[PRESSTV] The United States has imposed fresh sanctions on a number of Iranian banks and financial institutions as well as companies ahead of the start of the next month's new round of the US sanctions against the Islamic Theocratic Republic.
The US Treasury on Tuesday announced fresh sanctions on Iranian banks, including Bank Mellat and Mehr Eqtesad Bank.
According to an announcement on Treasury's website, the US is also imposing sanctions on Iran Tractor Manufacturing Company, Esfehan’s Mobarakeh Steel Company, and other companies linked to investment, commodities and engineering.
The Treasury imposed sanctions on a multibillion-dollar financial network that supports the Basij Resistance Force affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
US President 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... announced in May that Washington was pulling out of the nuclear agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which lifted nuclear-related sanctions against Tehran in exchange for restrictions on Tehran's nuclear program.
The deal had been signed between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council -- the United States, Britannia, La Belle France, Russia and China -- plus Germany in 2015.
The US administration reintroduced the previous sanctions while imposing new ones on the Islamic Theocratic Republic. It also introduced punitive measures ‐ known as secondary sanctions ‐ against third countries doing business with Iran.
The Treasury Department on Tuesday targeted a network of banks and businesses that provides financial support to a paramilitary force in Iran, which allegedly trains and deploys child soldiers to fight with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The sanctions are part of the US economic campaign to pressure Iran to radically alter its policies, including developing ballistic missiles, supporting regional hard boy groups, and violating human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... The Treasury Department said the Bonyad Taavon Basij network is an example of how the IRGC and Iranian military forces have expanded economic involvement in major industries and infiltrated seemingly legitimate businesses to fund terrorism and other malign activities.

[An Nahar] A Syrian man who launched an arson attack and took a woman hostage at a German train station was an unemployed refugee with psychological problems and a history of street offenses, police said Tuesday.
Federal prosecutors who deal with terrorist cases said they planned to take over the investigation against the 55-year-old man, who remained in a coma after emergency surgery for multiple bullet wounds.
The man had sparked major panic around noon on Monday when he stormed a McDonald's restaurant inside Cologne ...the largest city in North Rhine-Westphalia and the fourth populated city in Germany.... 's central railway station armed with a petrol container, a replica pistol and gas canisters with metal balls taped to them, police said.
The disheveled-looking man with long grey hair poured the petrol onto the floor and set it alight, injuring a 14-year-old girl with burn wounds and sparking the alarm that led authorities to quickly evacuate the busy station and stop all trains.
As smoke and screams filled the room and the sprinkler system activated, he ran into a nearby pharmacy and took a female employee hostage, sparking an hours-long drama and tense negotiations with police.
Witnesses reported that the man had claimed to be a member of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... jihadist group, and police said they were investigating whether his motive was "terrorism" and whether he acted alone or with others.
When the suspect threatened to set fire to his terrified hostage, heavily armed police commandos hurled two stun grenades into the shop and opened fire, hitting the Syrian man with multiple bullets.
When police later searched his room in a refugee shelter, they found more petrol containers and the Arabic message "God is greatest" written on the wall, but no references to the IS or other hard boy groups.
Investigators confirmed that the man was indeed the holder of a Syrian passport found at the scene, and said he had drawn police attention 13 times since he arrived from the war-torn country in March 2015.
His offenses included marijuana possession, theft, threatening behavior, fraud and disturbing the peace, said Klaus-Stephan Becker, head of Cologne criminal police.
Becker confirmed that "there is evidence" the man had psychological problems and was unable to work.
The man's wife had remained in Syria, from where she had unsuccessfully launched two asylum requests to Germany.

[Al Jazeera] Authorities in India's most populous state have changed the Moslem name of an historic city to one with Hindu overtones, local media reported.
Allahabad, a city of more than one million people in northern Uttar Pradesh (UP) state, will now be known as Prayagraj, a bigwig from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) told news hounds on Tuesday.
Siddarth Nath Singh, UP health minister, said the decision to rename the city was made at a cabinet meeting following a proposal by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who heads the state.
"All the cabinet members were happy and from today onwards, Allahabad's name would change as Prayagraj," he was quoted as saying by the Indian Express newspaper.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The jihadist and Salafist tough guys in the Idlib Governorate launched a large-scale security operation this week to identify and destroy sleeper cells belonging to the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

Led by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham and Harakat Ahrar al-Sham ...a Syria jihadi group made up of Islamists and salafists, not that there's that much difference, formed into a brigade. They make up the main element of the Islamic Front but they don't profess adoration of al-Qaeda and they've been fighting (mainly for survival) against the Islamic State. Their leadership was wiped out at a single blow by a suicide kaboom at a crowded basement meeting in September, 2014... , the jihadist rebels stormed and captured an Islamic State command-and-control center inside of Idlib city this morning.
According to pro-opposition activists via social media, the rebel groups tossed in the calaboose Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! two Islamic State fighters and killed three others that refused to surrender to their forces in Idlib city.
Furthermore, the HTS security forces managed to seize a large quantity of weapons and explosives that were located inside the building used by the Islamic State fighters.
Meanwhile, ...back at the pie fight, Bella went down under the weight of the custard... inside the town of Ariha, Ahrar al-Sham stormed the Islamic State’s main hideout that is located near the electronic substation.
Pro-opposition activists claimed that intense festivities would breakout between ISIS and Ahrar al-Sham’s security forces, resulting in casualties for both parties.
Some of the Islamic State hard boyz refused to surrender and chose to detonate their boom jackets instead, the activists added.
This large-scale security operation in the Idlib Governorate was launched this week in response to the string of liquidations that targeted Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham’s command.

[An Nahar] A budding diplomatic crisis with Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , Hurricane Michael's wreckage to clean up, stock market jitters, and... President 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... 's standout act Tuesday was to brand porn star Stormy Daniels "Horseface."
That wasn't all.
The U.S. leader, who revels in making up nicknames for opponents and critics, also launched tweets about "Pocahontas" Elizabeth Fauxchahontas Warren ...Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts, who traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that... , a liberal senator seen as a potential 2020 presidential candidate, whom Trump ridicules for trying to prove she is part Native American.
But the equine insult was the most startling moment of a day when the White House officially signaled that "THE PRESIDENT has no public events scheduled" -- apparently leaving him free to cut loose on Twitter.
Stormy Daniels, a blond 39-year-old whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, had a defamation suit against Trump thrown out by a federal judge on Monday. The judge also ruled that Daniels should pay Trump's legal fees.
Trump was gleeful.
"Great, now I can go after Horseface and her 3rd rate lawyer," he tweeted.
Daniels is one of numerous women alleging they have had affairs or have been sexually harassed by Trump, who is currently married to a Slovenian-born former model, Melania.
In a recent salacious book, "Full Disclosure," Daniels claimed to reveal the then future president's tendency toward petulance, "tantrums," and the mushroom-like shape of his penis.
But in his jubilant tweet Tuesday, Trump pronounced: "She knows nothing about me, a total con!"
Daniels, reputed to be a hard-driving businesswoman who moved from stripping to adult films to parts in mainstream movies, gave as good as she got -- by Twitter, of course.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present your president," she tweeted.
"In addition to his...umm...shortcomings, he has demonstrated his incompetence, hatred of women and lack of self control on Twitter AGAIN! And perhaps a penchant for bestiality. Game on, Tiny."
- 'POCAHONTAS' JIBES -
Before tearing into Stormy Daniels, Trump let off three mid-morning tweets devoted to Warren, a Democrat who has been one of the president's most biting critics.
Trump has long mocked her assertion to have Native American blood, latching on to a disproven theory that Warren used her tribal heritage claim to advance an academic career at Harvard University.
What was once just a bizarre political sideshow has morphed into a full-blown obsession in which Trump routinely jokes about "Pocahontas" Warren before thousands of laughing people at his rallies.

The Don as a kid was hard to tame by his family so they put him into a military school. His father was not the nicest guy in the world, was actually ruthless and he still ended up needing outside help with his son. Donald conquered the military school and became a top leader there.
Half a century later he has not softened one bit. He likes to fight. He likes to pick fights. It is his DNA.
He just happens to be a very, very rich soldier and one who knows how to win the battles. Just be glad you are on his side. As one ex-wife put it during their divorce, she was very concerned of being his adversary during that event.

Right after having the the previous Stormy case dismissed and having Warren cap herself with the DNA thing. Why?
I think Trump does this to provoke his opponents, knowing that if they're worrying about getting even, then they're not planning carefully to win.

It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle. - Sun Tzu

"Fauxcahontas" is a better term that truly fits Elizabeth Warren's BS. She speaks with forked tongue out of both sides of her mouth. "Pocahontas" is a respectable name in English colonial and US history. The PC brouhaha about the way Trump refers to these names just makes the PC crowd look even more foolish - if that is possible.
[ZDNet] Hezbollah agents used Facebook profiles for attractive women to trick targets into installing spyware-infected apps.
The Czech Security Intelligence Service (BIS) has intervened and taken down servers that have been used by Hezbollah operatives to target and infect users around the globe with mobile malware.
"I can not comment on the details, but I can confirm that BIS has played a significant role in identifying and uncovering the hackers' system," said Michal Koudelka, BIS Director.
"We identified the victims and traced the attack to its source facilities," Koudelka added. "Hacker servers have been shut down."
BIS said the servers were located in the Czech Republic, and the agency was "almost certain" they were operated by Hezbollah, an Islamist political party and myrmidon group based in Leb, which the US and fellow NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants... countries have labeled as a terrorist organization.
The Czech intelligence agency said the servers and the malware distribution campaign appears to have been going on since the start of 2017.
Hezbollah operatives operated by creating Facebook profiles, posing as attractive women, and reaching out to selected targets. The goal of the operation was to engage the target in private discussions and convince it to install a third-party instant messaging application to continue the conversation via this second, malware-infested app.
Targets were advised to download the app from a third-party server. The app was infected with spyware that allowed Hezbollah operatives to retrieve content from the victim's phone.
The servers hosting the malware were located in the Czech Republic, but also other parts of the EU and the US. The campaign's targets were men located in the Middle East, but also Central and Eastern Europe.
Middle Eastern intelligence/terrorist organizations have used this same tactic before. In January 2017, the Israeli Defence Force warned that Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, (Paleostine) agents were using Facebook profiles posing as women to trick soldiers into installing malware on their devices. In some cases, Hamas agents had also set up meetings with Israeli military personnel and ambushed, kidnapped, and sometimes killed targeted soldiers.
In July, this year, Hamas agents used the same tactic again, hiding malware in dating and World Cup-themed Android apps, according to reports from ClearSky, McAfee, and Check Point.
In June, Facebook and Twitter have removed a large number of Hezbollah-operated accounts from their networks.
[Al Jazeera] Honduran activists blamed 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... and the United States for the situation forcing thousands to flee the Honduras after the US president warned he may cut aid to the country if a migrant caravan isn't stopped.
"The United States has strongly informed the President of Honduras that if the large Caravan of people heading to the U.S. is not stopped and brought back to Honduras, no more money or aid will be given to Honduras, effectively immediately!" Trump tweeted Tuesday morning.
The comment came more than three days after 1,000 people set out from San Pedro en route to the US. The caravan, which has now grown to more than 2,000 people, was blocked by Guatemalan police at the border on Monday, but was then permitted to enter Guatemala from Honduras.
Hondurans have the right to movement within the C4 region of Central America, including Guatemala, with basic identification. The Honduran government has no jurisdiction in Guatemala.
Honduran human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. activist Dunia Montoya, who accompanied the caravan to the Guatemalan border and whose husband, Bartolo Fuentes, was detained in Guatemala after crossing with the group, said Trump's tweet "seems like a further abusive comment on the situation in the country".
"[Trump] is responsible for the situation in Honduras. The Trump government validated an illegitimate government," she told Al Jazeera.
Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez, currently in Colombia, has not made an official statement in response to the tweet.
But the Honduran Secretariat of Foreign Affairs issued a statement Tuesday afternoon, saying the government "urges Hondurans participating in this irregular movement to not let themselves be used by a movement that clearly seems to be political and that seeks to disturb the governability, stability and peace of our countries."

Fine, we'll 'fix' Honduras. We'll just send the robotic dog death squads down and kill everyone. Then there will be no poverty, no government corruption, nothing but unused land. Which we will then claim cause it's unoccupied. Sound good?
Sounds good. If anyone complains, we can say they were humanitarian robot dogs. Man's Best Robot Friend(tm). Unfortunately, there was a minor software glitch in the Altruism Module... hey, we could blame counterfeit Chinese chips. It's a two-fer!

We should also take Mexico's oil and natural resources as well. Figure up how much has been spent on illegals and take it from their country. If they object, over to exterminate their entire government. I'm done with foreign invaders getting off scot free. Time to put the illegals in the organ banks.
[IsraelTimes] IDF says it identified two launches from the Strip; one projectile lands in courtyard of home; five people, including a mother and three children, treated for anxiety
Paleostinian holy warriors in the Gazoo Strip fired a rocket at the southern city of Beersheba early Wednesday that landed and went kaboom! in the courtyard of a house, causing damage, but no injuries.
The IDF said it had identified two launches from Gazoo. One targeted Bersheeba located some 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the Strip. A second rocket was fired out to sea.
Rocket attacks on the city are rare and considered a major escalation. The attack came after Israel’s defense minister warned the military was gearing up for a major strike on Gazoo to stop ongoing violence.
Rocket warning sirens blared at 03:40 am and residents reported hearing a loud blast. The rocket landed in the courtyard of a private house. No one was hurt in the kaboom but five people were being treated for anxiety.
This was only the second rocket fired at Beersheba since the 2014 Gazoo war. Another rocket struck a field north of Beersheba on August 9 and came as Paleostinians fired dozens of projectiles at Israeli communities along the Gazoo border.
Most of those attacks are carried out with mortars or short-range Qassam rockets, however, Paleostinian terror groups can only reach Beersheba with the longer-range Grad rocket.
Good to know.
Israel Radio said that even though the sirens went off, the rocket was not intercepted by the Iron Dome system because there were no batteries deployed in the area at the time.
Following the attack, the Beersheba municipality announced that schools in the city would be closed for the day.
The attack come as Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman urged the cabinet to authorize large-scale military campaign against the Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, terror group in Gazoo in light of ongoing riots and violence along the Strip’s security fence.
According to the defense minister’s assessment, a "serious blow" to Hamas would result in four to five years of calm along the Gazoo border ‐ akin to the quiet that persisted from the end of the 2014 Gazoo war, known in Israel as Operation Protective Edge, until the start of the current round of festivities in late March, a few limited skirmishes notwithstanding.
The defense minister said the "straw that broke the camel’s back" and convinced him that a full-scale military action was necessary in Gazoo was the rioting that took place along the border last Friday evening, after Israel allowed additional fuel into the Strip that had been purchased by Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... "We have exhausted all other options in Gazoo," Liberman said during a visit to the Israel Defense Forces’ Gazoo Division headquarters near the Strip.
"Now is the time to make decisions," he added.
The security cabinet, which approves such military campaigns, met Sunday to discuss the possibility of an attack against Hamas, but ultimately decided to wait until the week’s end in order to give negotiators a chance to convince the group to abandon its current violent tactics.
[An Nahar] The United Arab Emirates has charged a British PhD student with spying in the Gulf country, as his wife Tuesday called on Britannia to defend his innocence.
Matthew Hedges stands accused of "spying for a foreign country, jeopardising the military, political and economic security of the state", UAE attorney general Hamad al-Shamsi said late Monday.
The 31-year-old, who was researching the UAE's foreign and internal security policies after the 2011 Arab Spring revolutions, was detained at Dubai airport on May 5.
Hedges' wife Daniela Tejada said Tuesday he been "held in an undisclosed location in the UAE in solitary confinement" with limited access to the consulate and his family as well as no access to a lawyer until last week.
She said Hedges had been told last week he "was being charged with gathering information and sharing it with a foreign agency - the UK Government".
Tejada called on the British government to "clarify publically that Matt is innocent of the charges and that there have been many falsehoods said about him".
"This horrifying situation has been going on for far too long," she said.
Britannia's foreign office said it was supporting Hedges and his family and had been "in close contact with the local authorities", a spokesperson said.
British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt told AFP last week he was "very worried" about Hedges' fate.
"I've spoken to the Emirati foreign minister twice now on this matter face to face so they are very aware of our concerns and we are monitoring it very closely," he said.
The charges against Hedges are based on evidence from investigations carried out by the public prosecution, according to the attorney general.

[RADIOSHABELLE] Kenya security agencies on high alert after intelligence reports indicated that Al-Shabaab ... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... could be planning a major attack on areas near Kenya’s border with Somalia.
The Intelligence reports noted that al-Shabaab fighters have set up a plan to attack KDF and police camps in Mandera county.
Kenyan Police front man Charles Owino said the agencies operating at the border areas were put on standby due to reports that the Death Eaters were gathering in El-Ade area of Somalia’s southern region, Gedo.
"Security agencies are also on alert for any possible attack by al-Shabaab fighters targeting security installations and any other soft targets along the border between Mandera and Elwak," he said.
He added that in the past two weeks, the murderous Moslems had been converging close to the Kenyan border. The buildup has been evident in Hola, Dura, Jidahaley, Juma, and Ilkabere.
The Anti-Stock Theft Unit camp in El Ram, Mandera South, was identified as the main target.

[An Nahar] Around 200 deputies kept Algeria's parliament locked up for several hours Tuesday in a protest action to press demands for the house speaker to step down.
"We're here to demand the speaker resigns," Abdelhamid Si Affif, the head of parliament's foreign affairs committee, told AFP after the protesters blocked the entrance with a chain and padlock.
Said Bouhadja, president of Algeria's lower house, has since late September resisted calls to resign over charges of "mismanagement, exaggerated and illicit expenses and dubious recruitment."
"This doesn't scare me. I will go to the People's National Assembly (parliament) because I am the president of this institution," Bouhadja told the TSA news website.
He did not, however, make an appearance at Tuesday's protest, which lasted until around midday before the deputies dispersed.
Algeria's constitution and laws do not lay down a procedure for the dismissal of a parliament speaker if he refuses to step aside.

[IsraelTimes] Wounded driver says he planned a protest outside the Israeli embassy.
Police in Ankara on Tuesday shot the driver of a tractor that struck a series of cars in the Ottoman Turkish capital. The driver, who ignored calls to stop and was shot in the leg, later told police he planned a protest outside the Israeli embassy, the state-run news agency ...and if you can't trust the state-run news agency who can you believe?... reported.
The man, a 45-year-old farmer, was eventually stopped in an area close to the Israeli ambassador’s residence. It was unclear whether the driver mistook the residence for the embassy.
An Israeli official, who did not wish to be named, said, "To the best of our understanding, the incident was not related to Israel or its embassy."
The Ankara governor’s office said the man had been under treatment for psychological problems since 2007.
Anadolu Agency said police guarding the parliament building fired warning shots into the air to stop the tractor on Ataturk Boulevard, which is lined with government buildings and embassies. The report said the tractor continued on its way, hitting and crushing cars before coming to a halt.
Anadolu said the man told police before being taken to a hospital that he planned to stage a protest outside the Israeli embassy.
The Israeli ambassador returned to Israel in May following a diplomatic dispute between the two countries.
The Ankara governor’s office said in a statement that the incident was being investigated but officials could find no links to terror.
In 2016 a Ottoman Turkish man with psychological problems tried to storm the Israeli embassy in Ankara but was shot before reaching the building. The man, armed with a 30-centimeter (12-inch) knife, ran towards the embassy shouting slogans and was shot in the leg. Israel’s Foreign Ministry said the assailant was shot by a local guard and that no embassy staff were maimed.
[RADIOSHABELLE] A recent U.S. Arclight airstrike in Somalia killed about 60 al-Shabaab ... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... gunnies in the largest strike against the group in nearly a year, the U.S. military said on Tuesday.
In a statement, the U.S. military said a strike last week near Harardere, Somalia, killed "approximately sixty terrorists."
In November 2017, more than 100 gunnies from Islamist al-Shabaab group were killed in a U.S. airstrike.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The leader of the Kurdish-led PYD organization Salih Mohammad tweeted on Monday that anyone who targets their forces in Syria will ultimately meet the same fate as ISIS.
Salih Mohammad tweeted in response to Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem’s comments regarding the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) future operations in the eastern part of the Euphrates River Valley.
Muallam said that the Syrian Arab Army will be shifting their attention to the eastern part of the Euphrates River Valley once the situation in the Idlib Governorate is settled.
The Syrian Foreign Minister said that the presence of foreign forces in the eastern part of the Euphrates River Valley is a violation of international law and detrimental to the grinding of the peace processor.
While the Syrian Arab Army and US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) do not actively target one another, there have been tensions in the Deir Ezzor Governorate in the past.
In a recent meeting between the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Council and government, the latter demanded that all U.S. and French forces withdraw from the SDF’s areas.
This demand from the Syrian government was met with several objections from the SDC because they rely on the US for military support and protection from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund.... in northern Syria.

[An Nahar] Lebanese security officials say festivities between rival Paleostinian factions in a refugee camp in southern Lebmaimed at least six people.
The officials say the festivities broke out Monday between members of Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... ' Fatah and Jundallah ..."Soldiers of God," a name used by two separate terror outfits, one active in Iran and the other in Pakistain. Both are Sunni organizations that target Shiites. The Pak version has close relations with al-Qaeda and the Pak Talibs and is probably a false nose and mustache for Lashkar-e-Jhangvi... , which is allied with Hizbullah ...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, said most of the six maimed are Fatah members.
Clashes are uncommon in the camp of Miyeh ou Miyeh, near the port city of Sidon.
Last year, the first official census of Paleostinian refugees in Leb revealed that they numbered 174,422, a figure almost two-thirds less than previously estimated. The refugees include those who fled or were driven out of what is now Israel during the 1948 war and their descendants.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Foreign fighters continue to flow into Syria to join ISIS despite its forces being largely decimated, Pentagon Joint Chiefs chairman Joe Dunford said Tuesday.
Even though the bully boy group’s territory has shrunk to a fraction of what it once was, new followers arrive, mostly over the Ottoman Turkish border, at a rate of about 100 a month, Dunford said.
While that is down from a peak of about 1,500 a month three years ago, it shows that ISIS’s ability to attract followers remains potent, he said.
"It’s the flow of imported muscle, the ability to move resources, and the ideology that allows these groups to operate," Dunford said, opening a conference on countering violent extremism.
Dunford also said that the inflow adds to the mounting problem of how to handle hundreds of captured imported muscle whose home countries will not take them back.
He said the Syrian Democratic Forces are holding more than 700 ISIS fighters from around 40 countries.
"The progress of returning these fighters home for prosecution has been delayed by political considerations and inconsistent legal frameworks."
Britannia, for example, has refused to repatriate the two remaining men of the ISIS unit dubbed the "Beatles," which kidnapped, tortured and beheaded a number of foreigners including journalists.
London stripped them of their citizenship and has said it does not want them back.
The United States has repatriated one of its ISIS imported muscle to stand trial, but has not divulged the fate of any others thought to be held in Syria or Iraq.

[DAWN] A court in northern India sentenced a Hindu guru and 14 followers to life imprisonment on Tuesday in the deaths of four women and a child at his sprawling ashram.
The court ordered the penalty for Sant Rampal in Hisar city of Haryana state, where authorities deployed hundreds of riot police in anticipation of violence by the guru's thousands of disciples in response to his sentencing.
Rampal, 67, was tossed in the clink Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! in 2014 following a days-long standoff between law enforcers and his supporters in which six people died and hundreds were maimed.
At the time, Rampal was wanted for questioning in a 2006 murder case and had repeatedly ignored orders to appear in court.
Police accused Rampal and the 14 followers of holding the four women and child captive inside the ashram, resulting in their deaths from a lack of food and medicine as the fierce standoff continued.
The court is expected to announce sentences in the death of a fifth woman on Wednesday.

[ALMASDARNEWS] A mysterious group calling themselves the "Wrath of Olives Operation Room" released a video on Monday of their fighters executing a Ottoman Turkish-backed rebel in the eastern countryside of Aleppo.
Based on the footage released by the Wrath of Olives Operation Room, their fighters executed a Ottoman Turkish-backed rebel inside the town of Qabasin near the large city of al-Bab.
Below is the footage that was released by the group this week:
The Wrath of Olives Operation Room was formed by Kurdish fighters from the Afrin region earlier this year.
This group has threatened the Ottoman Turkish-backed rebels with liquidations and sporadic attacks if they do not leave the Afrin region.
While the group is believed to be affiliated to the YPG, the latter has denied any relationship with them.
