BLM / ANTI-LAW
Remember NOT all the judges have been bought off yet.
Just most of the liberal City council's and DA's.

So, he crossed state lines (gasp! Shreik!!) to intimidate the judge? Shouldn't all the major cable news outlets be playing state funeral music and asking why the flag at the Capitol is not at half-staff?

[An Nahar] Saudi 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. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... said early Tuesday it had launched overnight air raids against targets in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... in retaliation for a ballistic missile fired by Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... s, destroying the launch site in Sanaa.
"We have destroyed sites in Sanaa linked to ballistic missiles and drones," the official Saudi news agency SPA tweeted.
It earlier said the Saudi army had intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile fired at the kingdom by Houthis in neighboring Yemen.
Iran-backed Houthis control much of northern Yemen, including the capital Sanaa, which they seized in 2014.
A Saudi-led coalition intervened in Yemen a year later to prop up the government in a conflict that has left tens of thousands dead and millions displaced.
The SPA said the target of the retaliatory strike included an area of "caves and secret ballistic missile warehouses on the outskirts of Sanaa."
The Saudi defense ministry, cited by the news agency, denounced the Huthi missile-firing and the rebels' "vicious and irresponsible behavior of targeting civilians."
"The ministry of defense will take all necessary and deterrent measures to protect civilians and its territory," the SPA said.

Two people were killed when a gunman opened fire inside a public services office in Moscow on Tuesday, the mayor of the Russian capital Sergei Sobyanin said.
"As a result of the shooting by an unknown person, two people were killed, three were maimed," Sobyanin said on Twitter, adding that the shooter was detained.
The incident occurred at a multi-functional government office in the south-east of the city, he said.
Sobyanin said that "doctors are doing everything possible to help the maimed."
Russian news agencies, citing sources in the interior ministry, reported a child had been injured in the shooting.
The capital's Sherlocks launched a criminal case into the shooting, they also reported.
Mass shootings in Russia are rare but the country was rocked by two separate tragic killing sprees -- one at a school, another at a university -- this year, spurring politicians to tighten laws regulating access to guns.
In one high-profile public shooting in 2019, a gunman opened fire near the FSB domestic intelligence agency headquarters in central Moscow, killing an officer and wounding five people.
Other high-profile shooting cases have taken place in Russia's army.
In November 2020, a 20-year-old soldier killed three fellow servicemen at a military base near the city of Voronezh.
In a similar attack in 2019, a young recruit rubbed out eight servicemen.

[IsraelTimes] A suspected member of the team that murdered Saudi journalist beloved martyr of journalism Jamal Khashoggi ......who was simultaneously a very well paid Washington Post columnist and a long time propagandist for the Moslem Brotherhood and Al Qaeda — he died while on the Qatari payroll, but previously wrote at the behest of then-Saudi intel chief Prince Turki al-Faisal...... in 2018, Khalid Alotaibi, was arrested at Charles de Gaulle airport outside Gay Paree today, judicial and airport sources say.
Khashoggi, a prominent Saudi who lived in self-exile in the United States and wrote for The Washington Post, was strangled by a hit squad in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, and his body dismembered. Hopefully in that order
[FOXNEWS] Prosecutors in San Diego filed charges against at least 10 anti-fascist ...anybody you disagree with, damn them... protesters who allegedly tried to disrupt a pro-Trump rally earlier this year with "violent mostly peaceful criminal acts."
"Video evidence analysis shows that overwhelmingly the violence in this incident was perpetrated by the Antifa ...the armed wing of the Democratic Party... affiliates and was not a mutual fray with both sides crossing out of lawful First Amendment expression into riot and violence," District Attorney Summer Stephan’s office said in a news release, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
The defendants "are self-identified to be affiliated with Anti-fascists or Antifa" and gathered on Jan. 9 in San Diego to take "direct action" against a pro-Trump "Patriot March," according to the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office. "Direct action" is defined as "acts of violence such as assault, battery, assault with deadly weapons, arson, and vandalism," according to the DA’s office. Police declared an unlawful assembly the day of the festivities.
At least seven people were arraigned Monday, following raids in Southern Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, last Thursday that led to arrests of the suspects.
They face charges such as assault, conspiracy to commit a riot and illegal use of tear gas. They’re accused of using tear gas, sticks, flag poles and other items to attack the Trump supporters, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. The case is allegedly the first to use conspiracy charges against suspected Antifa members, the outlet reported.
One social media post appearing to match the description of the attacks shows an alleged anti-fascist protester pepper-spraying a man and his dog. A videographer based out of Los Angeles also recorded some altercations involving pepper spray and a wooden folding chair, which matches an attack described by prosecutors.
One group of the anti-fascists originated in San Diego, while another group formed in Los Angeles a week before the pro-Trump rally, according to the criminal complaint. They’re accused of circulating a Jan. 2 social media post calling for a counterprotest to the pro-Trump rally, "in essence agreeing to take part in the ’direct action.’ Others agreed by showing up in Pacific Beach on January 9th, 2021 and participating in the violence," prosecutors allege, according to the criminal complaint.
Those arraigned on Monday were identified as Luis Francisco Mora, 30; Joseph Austin Gaskins, 21; Faraz Martin Talab, 27; Bryan Rivera, 21; Brian Lightfoot, 25; and Jesse Merel Cannon, 31; Jeremy Jonathan White, 39.
An arrest warrant was issued for Erich Louis Yach, 37, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

[Rudaw] Following a spate of Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) attacks on villages located in the security vacuum of the disputed areas between Iraq and the Kurdistan Region, Peshmerga forces were deployed to the village of Liheban in Kirkuk's Sargaran sub-district on Monday in a sign of the increasing cooperation with Iraqi forces attempting to limit further violence.
The deployment comes after an uptick in ISIS attacks on Peshmerga forces and civilians in villages situated across the disputed land, as the terrorist group has taken advantage of security gaps between Peshmerga and Iraqi forces.
On Saturday, Iraqi and Kurdish forces held a high-level security meeting in Baghdad to boost cooperation between the two forces, and they have now established military bases in coordination with the Iraqi army which has enabled the Peshmerga to be deployed in Liheban, near Mount Qarachogh in Makhmour: a village they had previously only limited access to, being situated in the disputed area.
On Sunday, Liheban villagers fled their village due to a sustained ISIS attack, as ISIS concurrently attacked a Peshmerga checkpoint near the village of Qara Salim close to the town of Pirde.
Many villagers from Liheban returned to their homes on Monday, with one villager estimating that around 30 families have returned, and it is expected that more will follow now Peshmerga forces are stationed in their village.
Saadi Ali, a Peshmerga commander, told Rudaw on Monday that after President Barzani’s office ordered the Peshmerga to take care of the villagers in the area, their troops were deployed. "Previously, this area was a security vacuum, but now we're stepping in to conduct more patrols in the villages," he said.
Mahmoud Khalaf, the Iraqi commander of Nineveh operations, explained that the coordination will be implemented in the Makhmour front and Nineveh province, where ISIS assaults are increasing.
"Coordination and cooperation are evident, especially in these villages. There’s no issue in the villages under our responsibility. Coordination is present throughout the region except in Liheban [where only Peshmerga will be deployed]. The coordination encompasses the Makhmour front and the entire Nineveh province," he told Rudaw.
Ayub Abdulla, a farmer from Liheban village who fought the ISIS button men until dawn on Sunday, told Rudaw how relieved he was to have laid down his gun and be back home with his family, tending to his livestock.
"I am grateful to president [Massoud] Barzani and the Kurdistan Regional Government who aided us. My job is to raise livestock [not to be a soldier]."
ISIS attacks are nevertheless continuing to threaten nearby villagers, who have mounted calls on authorities to increase their security coordination in the area.
Goran Karim, from Shahal village, told Rudaw that the villagers no longer sleep at night. "We have to stay guarded. The Iraqi army is present there but the military bases aren’t close enough [to each other] to encircle the village [to protect it]."
Several villages are situated between Mount Qarachogh and the Sargaran sub-district. Due to increased ISIS attacks, aside from Liheban, they have all stood empty since last month. Time will tell if other villagers feel safe enough to return.
[Rudaw] A military official from the Shingal Resistance Units (YBS) was killed in an airstrike by the Turkish army in northern Iraq on Tuesday, the Kurdistan Region’s counter-terrorism directorate said in a statement following the attack, with a media outlet close to the armed group confirming the news.
Turkish airstrikes targeted a vehicle in the town of Khanasor in Shingal district, killing the YBS military commander Marwan Badal Haji, the directorate announced on Tuesday afternoon.
Badal was accompanied by his two children at the time of the offensive, Firat News Agency (ANF) which is affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) reported.
ANF confirmed Badal’s death, noting that his children were safe.
Turkey has not yet commented on the attack.
The Yazidi commander Badal, also known as Dijwar, formed the core of a local Yazidi militia in 2014 during the Islamic State (ISIS) invasion. The terror group caused havoc in the Yazidi heartland of Shingal in Nineveh as it killed and enslaved thousands of the ethno-religious group.
The militia later grew to be a highly maintained force that became known as the YBS, supported by the Peoples’ Protection Units (YPG).
Turkey considers the YPG and YBS to be an offshoot of the PKK, an armed group fighting for the enhanced rights of Kurds in Turkey. The PKK is designated a terrorist organization by Turkey, which carries out regular military campaigns against the group at home and in northern Iraq, including in the Kurdistan Region.
Several armed forces affiliated with the Iraqi government, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), the PKK, and Hashd al-Shaabi are present in Shingal. The district is among the areas disputed between Erbil and Baghdad. Ankara occasionally carries out such attacks against the YBS in Shingal.
A Turkish airstrike killed two members of the YBS, including a senior commander and three civilians on August 16. Another aistrike hit a hospital in Shingal a day later, killing four care workers and four YBS fighters.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has previously warned that they will continue attacking Shingal as long as the PKK fighters are present there.
Turkey is currently conducting two military operations against the PKK in the Kurdistan Region, causing casualties among the PKK, Turkish army, and civilians.
[Rudaw] Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) Death Eaters on Tuesday launched an attack on the Iraqi forces in Kirkuk province, killing two soldiers, a security official told Rudaw as the terror group’s resurgence threatens the stability of the country and terrorize civilians in disputed areas.
A number ISIS Death Eaters attacked Dibis town in Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... killing two Iraqi soldiers, an officer from Kirkuk police told Rudaw on the condition of anonymity.
The terror group attacked the forces from "two sides," the source noted.
ISIS attacks have been on the rise recently, especially in territories disputed between Erbil and Baghdad.
Hours before the Iraqi army was targeted, a number of Katyusha rockets believed to have been fired by ISIS Death Eaters landed near the bases of Peshmerga forces on the outskirts of Prde town in Kirkuk, Peshmerga commander Nuri Hama Ali told Rudaw.
Another commander said the rockets landed at around 7:00 pm. No casualties or injuries were reported.
No group has grabbed credit for the recent two attacks.
Meanwhile sirens blared from the US consulate in Erbil, according to a Rudaw English news hound who was in the vicinity of the compound on Tuesday night.
The terror group on Tuesday grabbed credit for an attack on Peshmerga in Kirkuk late on Sunday, killing four of them. The Death Eater group also grabbed credit for a Thursday attack on two villages in southwest Erbil near the disputed territory of Makhmour that left 10 Peshmerga fighters and three civilians dead.
Kurdish and Iraqi officials have blamed the attacks on the security vacuum between Erbil and Baghdad, holding a high-level security meeting to ramp up cooperation in these areas.
The deadly ISIS offensives come as America prepares to withdraw its combat troops by the end of the year, as the coalition formally shifts its mission focus to advising and assisting Iraqi forces. There are currently about 2,500 US troops in Iraq, including in the Kurdistan Region. It is not immediately clear whether the shift in roles will change the number of American soldiers in the country.
[An Nahar] At least four non-combatants were killed and four more maimed Tuesday in a cycle of violence bombing near a hospital in central Basra city in southern Iraq, security forces said.
Referring to "the earth-shattering kaboom of a cycle of violence", they said in a statement that "four citizens were killed and four others injured while two vehicles near the cycle of violence caught fire".
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the earth-shattering kaboom.
The blast hit at a crossroads in central Basra, near a hospital and a popular market, an AFP photographer reported.
Iraq has been torn by years of war and insurgency since a U.S.-led invasion toppled dictator Saddam Hussein in 2003.
In recent years, the city of Basra has mostly been spared such attacks.
But in recent weeks several deadly attacks claimed by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (IS) group have targeted Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq.
IS established a self-proclaimed "caliphate" across Syria and Iraq from 2014 but lost its territories to offensives in both countries.
Iraq proclaimed its victory against the jihadists on December 9, 2017.
Today, IS maintains a largely clandestine presence in Iraq and Syria and conducts a sustained insurgency on both sides of the border, according to a U.N. report published early this year.
Across the two countries, IS is believed to retain some 10,000 active fighters, according to the report.
The last major attack claimed by IS in Iraq targeted a market in Baghdad's Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City in July and killed about 30 people.

[An Nahar] An Israeli air strike hit a shipment of Iranian weapons in the Syrian port of Latakia Tuesday, in the first such attack on the key facility, a war monitor said.The Israeli raid "directly targeted an Iranian weapons shipment in the container yard," the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Syrian state media reported the strike on the container yard at Latakia port without specifying what was targeted.
The Observatory, a UK-based organization with a wide network of sources on the ground across Syria, said the raid triggered a series of explosions.
It reported "huge material losses" but added there were no immediate reports of casualties.
According to the Syrian state news agency SANA, the strike occurred at 1:23 am (2323 GMT Monday).
"Our air defenses repelled the Israeli aggression in Latakia," it said, adding that a number of containers caught fire in the strike.
Latakia is the northernmost of Syria's main ports, and lies around 230 kilometers (140 miles) north of Damascus.
Photos and footage published by SANA showed a fire in the yard but state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
said later that firefighters had brought the blaze under control.
Israel rarely comments on the air strikes it carries out in Syria but has said repeatedly it will not allow its archfoe Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.... to extend its footprint in Syria.
