[Breitbart] The Dallas-Fort Worth CBS affiliate reports that law enforcement officers in Addison, Texas, arrested Luz Aurora Granados-Reyes on Tuesday.
On Sunday, paramedics were called to a hotel to assist the woman after she had given birth in the employee locker room. The baby girl was found unresponsive and they performed CPR. They were not able to save the newborn.
Law enforcement officials were called and arrested the woman after there was an investigation. Before she was taken to jail, Granados-Reyes was taken to a hospital. An autopsy is being performed on the newborn. It's not a crime, it's a media and marketing shortfall. More funding is obviously necessary.
Why of course, another stat to add to the embarrassing infant mortality rate counts to justify more funding. Now how more funding would have altered this situation is really hard to fathom, but to people who write free-money grant papers, it's not a concern.

She was released this morning when the M.E. couldn't be sure the baby was alive at birth. Why was she working so close to term? Or was she just six months pregnant?
Facts! Bring me facts!

[DAWN] Heavy rain for over an hour exposed the tall claims of authorities of improving infrastructure, as Lahore's sewerage and drainage system in various localities either collapsed or choked almost submerging the Qartaba Chowk Metro Bus pedestrian underpass and various low-lying areas.
There were reports of rainwater accumulation up to four feet that could not be drained out until late on Tuesday despite continuous efforts of all water disposal and lift stations, de-watering machines and other equipment.
All the city's sore points, including Lakshmi Chowk, Nakhuda Chowk, GPO Chowk, Abid Market, Qadaffy Stadium, Garhi Shahu are mostly flooded in monsoons, while areas such as Qartaba Chowk, Gulberg, Iqbal Town, Johar Town, Township, Ravi Road have never taken a lot of time to be cleared.

[DAWN] More villages were hit by flash floods on Tuesday after torrential rain continued for the seventh day and washed away a number of houses in Kasset village, on Chitral-Garam Chashma road, and Rayeen, in Torkhow valley.
But no casualties were reported because local people had migrated to safe places.
The government departments concerned are unable to give an estimate of the damage caused by the floods because the affected areas are inaccessible.

[Libya Herald] Sheikh Sadek Al-Ghariani, still accepted as Grand Mufti by the Libya Dawn ...aka Fajr Libya, the Islamist operation launched to counter that of General Khalifa Haftar (Operation Dignity). It is made up of the Libya Shield militia (Misrata and Moslem Brotherhood), Libya Revolutionaries Operations Room (Moslem Brotherhood), and Tripoli Brigade (close to Abdul Hakim Belhaj, head of Al-Watan party). Financing and moral support come from Turkey and Qatar... regime in 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... , has again ventured into the issue of Libyan credit cards, this time over the propriety of using them to withdraw cash abroad and with it buy back dinars in Libya at profit.
Saying that there had been questions asked whether it was right for Libyans to use their Libyan bank-issued credit cards abroad to draw dollars from their accounts and then, on returning, to sell them on the black market for profit, he condemned it.
In a statement issued by his fawta organization, the Dar Al-Ifta, he said that such use of credit cards and of dealing with foreign currency this way was haram.
The statement added that following his complaints to the finance committee of the General National Congress and the Central Bank of Libya, the National Commercial Bank and the Gumouriya Bank had stopped issuing international-use credit cards. The only bank still issuing them, he noted, was the Aman Bank.
Last September, Ghariani issued a fatwa against the Aman Bank credit cards saying that there were a number of concerns in the fine print of the terms and conditions of the cards and the way these related to Islamic banking rules.
The fatwa did not stop the cards being issued or Libyans using them.
In the latest pronouncement, there was no criticism of the financial system that enables such exchange practices to occur -- a system where, because the dinar is pegged artificially high against the dollar, the black market rate, reflecting the real nature of the Libyan economy, is substantially different. At present the official dollar/dinar rate 1.39. The black market rate is 2.30.
Nor was there any criticism of the money merchants who run the massive black-sector financial system that takes advantage of difficulties to access foreign currency. Nor any call for an end to currency controls which would eradicate the problems.

Bottom line, every horrible thing the Sudanese government did to them, they are now doing to one another in a full-fledged civil/inter-tribal war, and very upsetting the details at the link are, too. F-17 I think, or possibly F-11, for those keeping track.
An insider at the Pentagon told Gertz that the message was intended for China due to its increasingly threatening activities in the South China Sea. "As the nation's focus turns to the Pacific, it's important to show the B-52's presence, not only on Andersen Air Force Base, but throughout the entire region," said Captain Jared Patterson, chief of weapons and tactics for the 96th Bomb Squadron based in Barksdale Air Force Base.

Wid an Anti-US US OWG Globalist as POTUS, + potens as POTUS Successor, given China's desire to takeover Guam + Hawaii + 1/2 of the Pacific 2020-2025 as per Chinese MilBlogs, I must admit I'm more than worried worried when the USAF PCorrectly-Deniably says that the US [technically] doesn't have to launch B-52's, etc. from Guam's AAFB to deter or strike at LR PLA targets anywhere in Asia-Pacific.
ITS A "SAFE" POLITICO WAY OF SAYING THAT GUAM IS EITHER EXPENDABLE, WHCIH IT TECHNICALLY OR LEGALLY IS AS A PERENNIAL "UNINCORPORATED TERRITORY" OF THE US WHOSE GOVT IS IN LOVE WID THE "STATUS QUO", OR IN ALTERN GUAM MILBASES IS NOT NEEDED.
The longer Guam stays in the "status quo" vee the "weak/declining" US, the greater the OWG Globie-led MILPOL-GEOPOL DANGER to it.
[DAWN] Staying the execution of a Christian woman, Asia Bibi, the Supreme Court of Pakistain on Wednesday admitted for hearing a petition filed by the death-row prisoner who was convicted on blasphemy charges.
A three-member bench at the Supreme Court's Lahore registry admitted the petition for full hearing and also ordered for all records pertaining to the case to be presented before it.
In her petition, the 50-year-old woman has claimed that she had not made any blasphemous remarks, and rather residents of her neighbourhood had leveled the blasphemy allegations against her based on a personal feud.
She asked the court to strike down her death sentence.
Mother of five children, Asia Bibi has been on death row since November 2010 after being convicted of committing blasphemy during an argument with a Moslem woman over a bowl of water in 2009.
She had filed an appeal in the Supreme Court in November 2014 as her final legal recourse, one month after the Lahore High Court upheld the death sentence of Asia Bibi, dashing hopes the conviction might be overturned or commuted to a jail term.
Blasphemy is an extremely sensitive issue in Pakistain where 97 per cent of the population is Moslem and unproven claims regularly lead to mob violence.

[Legal Insurrection] Louis (Lou) Lenart, an American fighter pilot during World War II who later helped to fend off an Egyptian advance on Tel Aviv during Israel's 1948 War of Independence passed away on Monday (July 20) at his home in the central Israeli city of Ra'anana.
Lenart is a legend in Israel, where he's hailed as "The Man who Saved Tel Aviv".
A Navy guided missile destroyer was damaged after a missile exploded shortly after launch during an exercise off the U.S. Atlantic coast on Saturday, Navy officials have confirmed to USNI News.
“On July 18 at approximately 9 a.m. (EDT) a Standard Missile-2 (SM-2) test missile exploded after suffering a malfunction as it was fired from the guided-missile destroyer USS The Sullivans (DDG-68) during a planned missile exercise off the coast of Virginia,” read a statement from Naval Sea Systems Command provided to USNI News.
There were no reported injuries and though the ship suffered a small fire on its port side “from missile debris” the destroyer was able to return to Naval Station Norfolk, Va. unassisted, NAVSEA said.
“It is too early to determine what, if any, effect this will have on the ship’s schedule,” read the statement.
I hate how much I love to grill. It's not that I'm inclined to vegetarianism or that I otherwise object to the practice itself. But I'm uncomfortable with the pleasure I take in something so conventionally masculine. Looming over the coals, tongs in hand, I feel estranged from myself, recast in the role of suburban dad. At such moments, I get the sense that I've fallen into a societal trap, one that reaffirms gender roles I've spent years trying to undo. The whole business feels retrograde, a relic of some earlier, less inclusive era.
This really is the whole attitude of progressives summed up in one statement. They hate everything, especially themselves so they have to destroy everything.
If the self-loathing they display could be confined it'd be like going to a zoo and watching the monkeys. The problem is that these fools want to spread their misery to everyone. They're downright evangelical about that...

Dear Self Loathing,
For tens of thousands of years before humans developed anything beyond permanent settlements, they were hunter gathers. Now a rabbit may feed you today, but to bring in real food means killing something big with your fellow predominately male hunters, because besides needing enough muscle to bring the beast down, you also had to haul it back to everyone else cause they were someplace something faster, bigger, stronger couldn't reach them to make them their meal while you and the boys were out. That meant breaking it down in portable sizes for the hunting group to move with. That also meant you left stuff behind because you couldn't carry it all. So, guess what? You cook the extras on an open fire right then and there and ate it for the energy to move the rest. Those who couldn't do all that usually didn't get to reproduce over the long run.
