[Breitbart] Monday on Fox News Channel's "America's Newsroom w/Bill Hemmer-Martha MacCallum," Fox News contributor and former New Jersey Superior Court Judge Andrew Napolitano explained Reggie B. Walton, a federal judge on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, has reopened a Freedom of Information Act 2012 case due to a joint request by the State Department and Judicial Watch which both agreed in their request that the fact Clinton kept her State Department email during her tenure as Secretary of State on a private server blocked valid requests.
Napolitano said, "The federal judge said not only will I reopen the case, I will look into whether or not these emails she was supposed to keep were intentionally destroyed or not. So now Mrs. Clinton, in a lawsuit that she is not party, is confronted with State Department lawyers who used to work for her, who were embarrassed when they made misrepresentations to the judge, and Judicial Watch lawyers, who now have the tiger by the tail, now on the same side." If everyone could just join me now in a collective yawn. Wash Times link, same story.

"BJ" Clinton says "there's not a shred of evidence." So far the Clintons have eluded everything. If I were a betting man, I'd guess they will avoid this also--not that I'm not hopeful there will a good airing of things. In my guts, I believe the Clinton Foundation was just a money laundering operation--a quid pro quo operation too. What's provable is another thing and they, being lawyers, know that too.

There are probably a number of admin people that realize that Clinton is toxic and are abandoning ship to save their own rotten hides.

Hopefully this is moving toward a tipping point - one which Obama will jump onto to "save his legacy" at the expense of Hildabeeste going under the bus with prejudice. And being backed over again just to be sure.
The Hispanic owner of a Colorado barbecue restaurant maintains that celebrating a "White Appreciation Day" isn't racist -- even after widespread criticism and bomb threats. Now what kind of person would be against this so much as to phone in a bomb threat.
Edgar Antillon owns the Rubbin' Buttz BBQ restaurant in Milliken, Colorado. On Friday, KUSA TV reported that the restaurant would observe a "White Appreciation Day" on June 11 and offer Caucasian customers a 10 percent discount.
"We have a whole month for Black History Month," Antillon told the outlet. "We have a whole month for Hispanic Heritage Month, so we thought the least we could do was offer one day to appreciate white Americans."
The backlash was swift. Antillon was criticized on social media and Yelp. According to the restaurant's Facebook page, Rubbin' Buttz even received a bomb threat.
Antillon appeared on CNN Saturday to argue that he's trying to celebrate all Americans, and honor the United States' history as a melting pot.
The restaurant owner told The Huffington Post that he's experienced discrimination as a Mexican-American, most recently when store employees didn't greet or help him in the same way they did white customers.
But Antillon still thinks celebrations based on racial or ethnic identity shouldn't exist at all. "The main purpose of this was to eliminate the need for Black History Month and Hispanic Heritage Month," he said.
"Slavery was real, and in some countries it still is real; we're not trying to downplay that," Antillon explained. "We're trying to move past that and realize we are all Americans."
He said the reaction from his customers has been overwhelmingly positive.
"A lot of Hispanics are in favor of what we're doing. I think they get it. They're not the kind of people that are going out there looking for racism," he said.
[DAWN] An Afghan judge has postponed issuing verdicts for the 19 coppers charged over the mob killing of a woman in Kabul.
Safiullah Mojadedi said Sunday that more time is need to complete the investigation into the officers, who are charged with failing to prevent the March 19 attack on the woman named Farkhunda.
He did not specifically say when he'd issue the verdicts.
Of the 49 defendants charged over the slaying, four have been sentenced to death and eight to 16 years in prison. Another 18 were freed for lack of evidence.
Farkhunda was beaten to death by a mob after being falsely accused of damaging a copy of the Koran, an attack that shocked the nation.

[Bus Insider] In yet another sign of looming blowback from the past year of rising tensions between Moscow and the NATO states, a British fishing ship was almost capsized by a suspected Russian submarine at the end of April according to the New York Times.
The 80-ton trawler was fishing for prawns in international waters in the Irish Sea between Northern Ireland and Britain when an object believed to be a submarine became entangled in the ship's nets. The ensuing moments played out like a Hollywood scene as the submarine began to tow the trawler backwards, The New York Times reports.
"It was like the scene out of 'Jaws' when the boat took off -- do you remember, the shark took the boat away?" the ship's skipper told the Times. "But multiply it by 100. It was just a bigger event."
The trawler nearly capsized as the boat was dragged backwards and began to pitch. The crew was forced to release the wires that held the net in place in order to prevent the submarine from dragging the boat underwater.

I do not remember the name, but there was a WW2 US Navy submarine going through a strait in the Dutch East Indies that was caught by an anchor from a Japanese Destroyer, which proceeded to hoist her up, while the battery supplied motors were pulling for all they had. Eventually the sub shook herself loose and skedattled away from the Japanese destroyer.

The good news here is that it was actually at sea hence didn't catch fire while on dockside like India's Navy.
Some Russian soldiers are quitting the army because of the conflict in Ukraine, several soldiers and human rights activists have told Reuters. Their accounts call into question the Kremlin's continued assertions that no Russian soldiers have been sent to Ukraine, and that any Russians fighting alongside rebels there are volunteers.
Evidence for Russians fighting in Ukraine – Russian army equipment found in the country, testimony from soldiers' families and from Ukrainians who say they were captured by Russian paratroopers – is abundant. Associates of Boris Nemtsov, a prominent Kremlin critic killed in February, will soon publish a report which they say will contain new evidence of the Russian military presence in Ukraine.

The Russians population really doesn't want war. Putin is walking a fine line. Putin has a strong antiwar population he must manage. Fear of the long cold winter of war hangs on the people. They want to enjoy prosperity.

Aw, c'mon! This is the second article that Chuckles got banned from. I can almost hear the screeching in my head. I f only there was a way to put those comments off to the side for everyone's enjoyment. I really do need something more than coffee to get me going this morning. Jus' sayin'.
[THENEWAMERICAN] A high-ranking communist official who defected to the United States in the 1970s now says the Soviet KGB was behind the tidal wave of "liberation theology" that swept through Catholic countries in Latin America before the opposition of Pope John Paul II effectively ended the movement. Yeah. I'll betcha everybody's real surprised. I think we knew this for quite a while, though it's always nice to have confirmation from an old commie thug...
Ion Mihai Pacepa, a former three-star general in Romania's Securitate, or secret police, said he first learned of liberation theology during meetings with Nikita Khrushchev and General Aleksandr Sakharovsky, then chief director of the KGB, when Sakharovsky accompanied the Soviet premier on a six-day visit to Romania in October of 1959.
"Khrushchev wanted to go down in history as the Soviet leader who had exported communism to Central and South America," Pacepa said in a May 1 interview with the Catholic News Agency. "Romania was the only Latin country in the Soviet bloc, and Khrushchev wanted to enroll her 'Latin leaders' in his new 'liberation' war."
Sakharovsky was little known to the world on the lam during the "hot years" of the Cold War, when secrecy was so highly valued that not all the members of the British and Israeli governments knew the heads of their own intelligence agencies, Pacepa said. But Sakharovsky played a key role in the East-West conflict as an architect of the export of communism to Cuba, the Berlin crisis and the building of the infamous wall, and the Cuban missile crisis that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war, Pacepa said.

Khrushchev would be happy to know the movement is still alive and well, and has achieved many of it's political infiltration goals.

AlmostAnonymous5839, I'm not sure that is true. Spain was a province, speaks a Latin lanaguage, was a solid Roman province in the day and they are still considered Hispanics. Why couldn't Romanians be Slavs? Culture and ethnic group are not always one in the same.
What if they gave a riot and no one reported on it? I just read about this riot, which originally was s'posed to be a protest about police brutality.
The windows are still boarded up, the car windshields are still smashed in, and the tempers are still boiling over.
One week after the May Day riots left Broadway Auto Row in Oakland an avenue of broken glass and dented metal, the proprietors who are still wondering why they were targeted are still awaiting some help from somebody.
The city held a meeting Thursday and offered vague promises of low-interest loans. But to Erich Horat, the owner of the Precision Motors repair shop, that means he still has to pay for something he didn’t do and something Oakland police didn’t prevent. Reportage on the riot from SF Gate and Breitbart Let me guess: when Horat decides "screw this" and closes his facility permanently, the city will blame him and the rioters will threaten more mayhem if he doesn't re-open.

a spokeswoman for Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, said the city was “focused on doing as much as possible” for vandalized merchants. Merchants making emergency repairs to damaged storefronts would not need to buy permits first

They can pay for them later. But their repairs had better comply with permit requirements or they'll have to do them over.

Businesses need to shut down and leave the state. They have no protection against mobs.

Exactly AP. If I was the owner, I would collect the insurance money and leave to a more business friendly state. CA has proven time and time again it doesn't care about small businesses and can be downright hostile to them.

Collect the insurance money, move out of state and leave the wreckage and debris for the voter/rioters to clean up, or the remainder Californians can just learn to live with it.

The problem is Oakland. It is another dem controlled ghetto like Detroit, parts of LA, etc. The only thing that you can do is vote with your feet and leave the mess to others. It is now Oakland's problem.

Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
