"Young was a life-long Republican. In 1952, she appeared in radio, print, and magazine ads in support of Dwight D. Eisenhower in his campaign for US president. She attended his inauguration in 1953 along with Anita Louise, Louella Parsons, Jane Russell, Dick Powell, June Allyson, and Lou Costello, among others. She was a vocal supporter of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan in their presidential campaigns in 1968 and 1980, respectively. Young was also an active member of the Hollywood Republican Committee, with her close friends Irene Dunne, Ginger Rogers, William Holden, George Murphy, Fred Astaire, and John Wayne." Wiki
This would be a rare anomaly or never happen today in Hollywood.

Dad didn't do starstruck. Gave the impression of never having given a hoot in hell for Hollywood. If he'd ever seen a movie as a kid, or if, overseas, he'd bothered to cross the street to see a Loy or Lombard or Hepburn or Monroe, you wouldn't hear about it from him. But every now and then -- about once a decade -- he'd light up at passing mention of starlet past, and for that fleeting moment it was like he was remembering the Virgin Mary showing up halfway through a hot afternoon with iced tea and a slice of pie. And sugar for the mule. Irene Dunne. Loretta Young. God bless 'em
Ghazni – Attackers who wanted to enter the public protection unit compound in Ghazni city were killed before reaching their target, says Interior Ministry spokesman Tariq Arian.
The attack started with a car bomb explosion, he said.
[UPI] A suicide kaboom killed at least nine people and injured nearly 20 Saturday when the bomb-laden car detonated at the gates of a Somali military base, security officials and witnesses said.
Security officials told Voice of America that eight of the people killed were government soldiers and other casualties were family members of soldiers who were are at the base in the capital of Mogadishu.
"A jacket wallah driving an explosive-laden vehicle sped toward the front gate of the camp but the guards opened fire to stop it before it detonated," police officer Aden Mohammed told VOA.
Hospital officials said that around 20 people were maimed in the blast.

[ALMASDARNEWS] A new video widely shared on social media shows a Russian air defense system being moved into a strategic city in Libya.
According to the video, the Russian-made Pantsir-S1 system can be seen being transported near the strategic port-city of Sirte, which is where both the Libyan National Army (LNA) and Government of National Accord (GNA) forces have been amassing troops for several weeks.
In this instance, however, the Pantsir-S1 system is being deployed by the Libyan National Army, who is currently backed by a number of foreign countries, including Egypt, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
According to the Russian publication, Avia.Pro, "On the presented video frames, you can see the passage of the military column of the Libyan National Army, at the head of which is moving the Russian-made Pantsir-C1 complex."
The publication said that "the complex is supposed to provide cover for the positions of the Libyan National Army, the main forces of which are located in Sirte, and, according to the sources, today, Sirte is under the protection of at least 8 Pantsir-S complexes, and this far from all air defense systems deployed in this area of the North African state."
It should be noted that the Libyan National Army has several Russian-made air defense systems, including a plethora of Pantsir-S1s, which have been used on several occasions to shoot down enemy aircraft.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Polish border guards have detained 34 people from the Middle East, including four women and four children, who were traveling in a trailer of the lorry that came from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... via Slovakia, authorities said on Saturday.
They were detained on Friday night and are being held at the border guards station in Bielsko-Biala, a front man for the regional border guards service in southern Poland Szymon Moscicki said.
He said the detainees were thought to be citizens of Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Kurds from Turkey. It was not immediately clear where they ultimately aimed to travel. "This isn't Lyft?"
Even though migrant flows to Poland never reached the same scale as in neighboring Germany, immigration was a campaign topic ahead of the 2015 general election, helping the Law and Justice (PiS) party to take over power.
The conservative-nationalist government has said it has restricted entry to refugees due to security concerns. Politicians often use the word "migrants colonists" as a blanket term, rather than "refugees".

[Al Ahram] French patrol boats on Saturday rescued dozens of migrants colonists from makeshift boats in the Channel that were heading to England, maritime officials said.
British interior minister Priti Patel on Friday described the volume of migrants colonists crossing the Channel as "appalling and unacceptably high" and called on La Belle France to help keep numbers down.
La Belle France's regional maritime monitoring and rescue operation said it acted "on several reports of small boats of migrants colonists in difficulty in the straights" off Calais.
At around 8:00 am a French patrol boat saved 17 migrants colonists aboard two separate vessels northeast of La Belle France's port city of Calais, said the operation said in a statement.
About an hour later another boat rescued 16 migrants colonists from another vessel in trouble off Sangatte, which used to host a makeshift camp for migrants colonists heading to England.
Border police serving the Calais region are looking after the 33 migrants colonists, whose nationalities were not immediately disclosed, the statement said.
Since January 1, the French authorities have intercepted at least 810 migrants colonists trying to cross the Channel to England, according to official figures tabulated by AFP.
Later French police reported finding eight migrants colonists in the back of lorry from Spain driven by a Russian national, who they arrested.

[RedState] The Portland rioters met in Laurelhurst Park to stage up to wreak havoc against the Penumbra Kelly Building, a police building which includes both the Portland Police Bureau and the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office.
We reported on that action here.
But a small group of them also formed up there after their action against the police.
It was there they encountered someone/s they alleged were throwing “pipe bombs” at them and which they called a “terrorist bombing”

I've been seeing quite a few articles where black-clad Antifa members have shown up in some neighborhood and getting a beating before being been run-off.

Protesters should observe the 10 second rule. If it looks like a pipe bomb jump on it and count to ten. Then count to fifty. If it hasn't gone off yet it probably won't.
Matthew Davis Anderson, 31, is charged w/felony assault in the second degree, resisting arrest & much more. He was arrested at the violent #antifa rally in SE Portland. He has the antifa "Iron Front" symbol tattooed on his shoulder. #PortlandRiotshttps://t.co/vdprI10H5Mpic.twitter.com/6bdJQb0WkP
Nicholas Henry Nanpei, 35, is charged with felony assault of an officer & more. He was arrested at a violent #antifa rally in SE Portland.

Is some effort being made to track down where the bail money originates? We should track down the bail fund to individuals. Sooner or later we can find out which politicians are connected.

Those faces, so made for abuse
(Bakunin... The Dude... Dr. Seuss!)
Provoke our just rage,
Sure, but who pays their wage?
Yes, and who turned this animus loose?
Just fooling around, not asserting an orange-juice conspiracy or spicy trumpkin provocation. Not that there'd be anything wrong with that.
Officers are having rocks and chunks of concrete thrown at them. Individuals in the crowd are shining lasers trying to blind officers. The sound truck is issuing warnings and directions to those participating in the unlawful assembly to disperse. (continued)

The police should arrest the city council. They are not politicians. They are leaders of militant mobs and gangs.
Find out who the people are that are destroying the town, where they work where they live, where they eat at, where they shop. And then remind them they cannot call 911 any more.
This woman goes by Cobey and she is 77. She was attacked two nights ago in Portland at a violent antifa & BLM gathering at the east police precinct. #PortlandRiots#antifapic.twitter.com/QR2zIlnYDs

A elderly gray haired woman about that age at Lowe's yesterday berated a man for not wearing his face diaper correctly. His nose was exposed. He said lady mind your own business. She then proceeded to cuss him giving him the finger then pulled her mask down to say, "here have some of my germs". This attack upon others is becoming the norm. These experts wear their masks and gloves but still touch their faces.
Police arrested 24 ppl last night in Portland. PPB says some broke chunks of concrete from a retaining wall to throw at officers, tossed fireworks & had filled pool noodles with nails to use as homemade spike strips.

[SEATTLETIMES] An arrest warrant was issued Wednesday for an 18-year-old man who King County prosecutors say fled the state immediately after he fatally shot a man in June in the six-block area then known as the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) zone.
Marcel Long, who remains on the lam, was charged Wednesday with premeditated first-degree murder in the death of Lorenzo Anderson, a 19-year-old Seattle man who was pronounced dead at Harborview Medical Center 33 minutes after police received the first 911 calls about the early-morning shooting on June 20, the charges say. The murder charge also carries a firearms enhancement.
Long, who also goes by the name Marcel Green and is known as "Celly Cell" on social media, has a last known address in Renton, according to the charges. His bail was set at $2 million and he is scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 19.
"Detectives identified the defendant within a day of the shooting, and they received information that the defendant immediately fled the state. All efforts to locate him have been unsuccessful," Senior Deputy Prosecutor Erin Ehlert wrote in the charges. "The defendant’s willingness to fire his weapon around crowds of people, in his effort to kill Lorenzo, demonstrates the severe danger he represents to the community and the risk of harm to others. His immediate flight also demonstrates his desire to avoid being held accountable for this crime."
Seattle police have determined that Anderson’s killing is unrelated to a non-fatal shooting of a 33-year-old man in the CHOP that occurred roughly 16 minutes after Anderson was shot. Earlier this week, detectives appealed for the public’s help in identifying several persons of interest in that shooting, according to an item posted on SPD’s online blotter.

[ALMASDARNEWS] Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, 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. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important... said on Friday, that his country has resumed exploration operations in the eastern Mediterranean, noting that Greece has not complied with its commitments related to exploration for energy resources in the region.After Friday prayers at the Hagia Sophia Mosque, Erdogan said: "We have started excavation work again ... I don’t think we are obligated to talk to those who do not have rights in the areas of maritime powers."
He added that a "seismic" survey ship had been sent to the region to carry out its duties.
The ship he referred to had moved to an area opposite the coast of Cyprus in late July and remained there.
Erdogan’s comments came in response to a question about the agreement signed by Egypt and Greece on Thursday to define the exclusive economic zone of both countries in the eastern Mediterranean.
In Greece, diplomats said that the agreement between Athens and Cairo effectively nullified an agreement reached last year between The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... and the Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... -based Government of National Accord, but Erdogan stressed that the Egyptian-Greek agreement is worthless and that Turkey will maintain its agreement with Libya "firmly."

[EN.ANNAHAR] The Lebanese Army evacuated protesters who stormed the buildings of a number of government ministries and the headquarters of the country's banking association channeling their rage against state and financial institutions after the huge blast that killed over 160.
Earlier on Saturday, protesters entered the empty buildings of the Foreign Ministry and declared it the headquarters of their protest movement. Others fanned out to enter the Economy and Energy ministries, and some walked away with documents claiming they will reveal the extent of corruption that permeates the government. Some also entered the Environment Ministry. Meanwhile, ...back at the chili cook-off, Chuck and Manuel's rivalry was entering a new and more dangerous phase... dozens of protesters broke into the banking association headquarters.
Saturday's rally was in response to the devastating explosion at the Port of Beirut on Tuesday that killed nearly 160 people and maimed 6,000, defacing the capital’s coastline. Protesters demanded justice for the victims and wanted to hold the government accountable, complaining that years of corruption and mismanagement have brought about the disaster.
Public anger had already been rising in Leb ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... before the blast because of an unprecedented financial crisis in which the national currency lost 80% of its value. Banks imposed informal capital controls in a controversial effort to control the collapse of the pound and foreign currency flight. The dire conditions were deepened with rising power cuts and concerns that hospitals were facing severe shortages and financial troubles.
