[FoxNews] A 21-year-old illegal immigrant who was allowed to stay in the U.S. under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was arrested last week in Rochester, N.Y., for making terroristic threats against students in a high school, officials said.
Abigail Hernandez was arrested and charged for the threats against East High School and was remanded to the Monroe County Jail in lieu of $15,000 bail, WHAM reported. Hernandez — who is not a student at the school — was moved to a federal detention facility, and will be held there until a hearing is scheduled.
Rochester City School District called police at 5:08 p.m. February 16 about a threat posted on the East High School Facebook page, which read: “I’m coming tomorrow morning and I’m going to shoot all of ya b----es.”
East High School Superintendent Shaun Nelms told WHAM Friday evening: “Sadly, in wake of the recent Parkland, Florida tragedy, schools across the country have been grappling with social media threats intended to instill fear and anxiety. While we cannot comment on this particular police investigation around a threat made to East, I want to stress how fortunate we are to be part of a community in which the police department works closely with schools to ensure the safety of the entire school community.”
The massacre in Parkland killed 17 students on Feb. 14.
Rochester Police Department Deputy Chief La’Ron Singletary told WHAM it took police days to track down the threat because it was made from a fictitious social media account.
Police found a shotgun inside the home of Hernandez on February 20, the date of her arrest.
During the investigation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents determined Hernandez was an illegal immigrant who was in the United States under the Obama-era DACA program, according to WHAM.
The city of Rochester recently affirmed its status as a “sanctuary city,” meaning it would not share immigration information with federal authorities, according to The Democrat and Chronicle.
“She’s not right mentally — she doesn’t pick up what people say,” her mother, who asked not to be identified by name, said in Spanish to The Democrat and Chronicle. “She’s very dependent on me.”

It's been shown that it's the slightly retarded, Asperger's and such, and drugged up ADHD kids that have committed these school massacres. Hopefully this girl is too retarded to be a genuine threat.

[AFRICANEWS] Security forces in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... ’s capital Kinshasa rubbed out an anti-government protester and maimed two others who had gathered to take part in church-led marches against President Joseph Kabila’s rule on Sunday.
Catholic and evangelical church-goers across Congo had been meant to take to the streets following Sunday services, but armed security forces surrounded Kinshasa’s main churches and blocked roads, preventing most demonstrations from getting started.
The death and woundings occurred in different locations in Kinshasa, but all the victims were taken to Kinshasa’s St. Joseph Hospital where they were seen by a Rootersnews hound.

[FOX] BUENOS AIRES, Argentina ‐ Argentina's coast guard says it has opened fire on a Chinese vessel illegally fishing in its waters.
Nobody was reportedly injured and the Chinese fishermen were not detained.
The Argentine Naval Prefecture said in a statement that its guards fired on the Jing Yuan 626 on Thursday after the squid fishing vessel was caught in an exclusive economic zone.
The coast guard said Friday that four other boats sailing under the Chinese flag tried to prevent the capture of the vessel by attempting to collide with coast guard boats.
The operation was called off by Argentina's foreign ministry after the vessel was chased for nearly eight hours.
Earlier in the month, the coast guard said it had detained a Spanish ship carrying more than 705,000 pounds (320,000 kilos) of illegal fish.
They tend to group into enormous swarms during mating season (which could be now, but I don't follow the SquidBook® social pages enough to verify). The more nets you have in the water, the more you catch.
The ChiCom ships might have been coordinating their net placements to capitalize on that.

The Argies weren't really trying. Given modern fire control systems, making a big hole in its hull should have been a gimme. The question is whether they were paid off or had very restrictive ROE's.
A total of seven combatants were killed in the fighting in Russian rebel held Donetsk, according to Russian language news accounts.
According to press release by the Donetsk Peoples Republic Ministry of Defense, Ukrainians fired on an ambulance during a ceasefire in Dokhuchaevsk, south of Donetsk city on Friday.
According to the news release, both sides agreed to a ceasefire in order for a rebel operated ambulance to enter Ukrainian territory to retrieve a wounded rebel soldier. The request was made by the joint group of senior Russian and Ukrainian officers, who monitor the fighting in the region.
The unidentified soldier was wounded by Ukrainian artillery fired by elements of the 93rd separate mechanized brigade. An ambulance was sent after a presumed agreement by both sides was finalized.
The ambulance was struck by an antitank missile or rocket from the Ukrainian side, presumably from the same unit. Two others, a medical orderly and a driver were killed in the attack. Rebel media said the ambulance was clearly marked with a red cross.
The rebels said the Ukrainians publicly presented the attack as an attack on a BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle which had wandered into the Ukrainian security zone.
Rebel media also reported that Ukrainian artillery fired on the town of Gorlovka, north of Donetsk city, damaged a number of residences. The report said five buildings were damaged and a number of power lines were damaged as well. The artillery attacks took place over two days, Friday and Saturday.
Rebel media also reported that one rebel soldier was killed in Ukrainian artillery attacks on Sunday, but the news release did not elaborate.
Lugansk
A total of two Ukrainian soldiers were killed and another two were wounded near the Svetlodarsk region Friday, when a small patrol was struck by a Ukrainian mine.
The soldiers were part of the Ukrainian 43rd Special Purpose Battalion, attached to the 54th Separate Brigade. Its area of operation is the Svetlodarsk region
Ukrainian media said that rebel artillery struck the village of Luganskoye, damaging resideintial buildings and power line on Saturday night. According to the report, rebels used 122mm artillery in the attack.
On Sunday, Ukrainian media reported one Ukrainian soldier was killed in rebel artillery attacks around the Svetlodarsk region, near Zaistevo and Luganskoye.
Ukrainian media said that rebel direct fire weapons were fired on Ukrainian positions at Kryminskoye and Novolugansk.
[DAWN] Rome’s ancient Colosseum was lit in red on Saturday in solidarity with persecuted Christians, particularly Asia Bibi who has been condemned to death under Pakistain’s blasphemy laws.
Hundreds gathered on a rainy night outside the Roman amphitheatre that is a symbol of the martyrdom of early Christians to hear the husband and daughter of Asia Bibi.
Bibi has been living on death row in Pakistain since 2010, when she was condemned on blasphemy charges.
"The aim of the blasphemy laws is [to] crush people who believe differently," Archbishop Nunzio Galantino, secretary general of the Italian bishops conference, told the gathering.
Bibi’s case drew international attention after the murder of two politicians who tried to intervene on her behalf.
At the Rome gathering, her husband Ashiq Masih said his wife was innocent.
The husband and daughter, who broke down in tears as she addressed the group, were earlier received by Pope Francis, who told her: "I think often of your mother and I pray for her".
European Parliament President Antonio Tajani, who has been tipped as a possible Italian prime minister after next week’s election, said that persecution of Christians was "a genocide".
During the event, organised by the Catholic group "Aid to the Church in Need," there were live link-ups with Aleppo, Syria and djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , Iraq, both of whose minority Christian populations have been hit hard by wars.

[DAWN] 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 ex-campaign chief Paul Manafort secretly paid a group of former senior European politicians more than two million euros ($2.5 million) to lobby for Ukraine’s then-leader backed by Russia, US prosecutors have claimed.
The charges, lodged in a Washington federal court by Special Counsel Robert Mueller on Friday, said Manafort retained the so-called Hapsburg Group of onetime politicians to "take positions favourable to Ukraine, including by lobbying the United States."
The group, which operated from 2012-2013, was managed by an unnamed "former European chancellor," who along with other members of the group lobbied US politicians and White House officials, the indictment alleged.
They were to "appear to be providing their independent assessments of government of Ukraine actions, when in fact they were paid lobbyists for Ukraine," according to the indictment.
Manafort, 68, has been accused by the team investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential elections and possible collusion with the Trump campaign of money laundering, tax fraud and banking fraud connected to work he did for Viktor Yanukovych from 2006-2014.

[FoxNews] Provisional plans for President Donald Trump to host his Mexican counterpart in Washington have been put on hold, White House officials said Saturday.
... leaving him more time to get on with the work of presidenting...
The postponement of plans to meet this month or in March followed a testy telephone call between the two leaders earlier last week, the Washington Post reported, citing information from U.S. and Mexican officials.
Trump and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto spoke for 50 minutes Tuesday, but reached a deadlock when Trump said he wouldn’t publicly acknowledge Mexico’s refusal to pay for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, Reuters reported.
That ain't Julie Andrews
According to a Mexican official, Trump lost his temper during the conversation because he thought it was unreasonable for Pena Nieto to want Trump to back off from the idea.
Trump’s promise to make Mexico pay for the wall was a staple of his 2016 campaign for the presidency.
Trump has since requested $23 billion in his latest budget proposal to Congress ‐ the majority of which would go toward building the wall.
Oh, right, the illegal FISA wiretaps aren't authorized any more.

Mexican Constitution -
Foreigners
Article 33. Foreigners are those who do not possess the qualifications set forth in Article 30. They are entitled to the guarantees granted by Chapter I, Title I, of the present Constitution; but the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action.
Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country.
Nuff said.
The man is bitching that the Gringos are cutting of the dumping grounds that have allowed the ruling caste in Mexico to avoid reform or revolution for generations.

Mexicans sent home $26.1 billion from January to November 2017, according to figures released Tuesday by the central bank of Mexico. American wages appear to be the second largest income stream to the Mexican economy. We take their least skilled people and subsidize them with healthcare and welfare and they get our money. How stupid are we?

Were any Moslems involved in this matter ? We really mustn't judge other people's cultural tastes, after all. To them its seems completely and understandably appropriate. Over there everyone does it and it is completely accepted as normal.
After all, we mustn't forget that Mohammed himself ( PBUH ) had a "wife" who was nine years old and 14 other women who shared his bed. And Moslems today find it totally acceptable to enjoy four women as wives ( if one can afford such things financially)..maybe more.
And who are we to judge? Besides NBC has transgendered coverage of the Olympics and he even wears a tiara while he gushes about his favorite male figure skater.
[DAWN] The man, who had suffered serious injuries after allegedly jumping off the FIA building on Temple Road on Friday, was said to be ’stable’ now.
Sajid Masih of Shahdara was called by the Cyber Crime Wing at their Regal Chowk Office for allegedly uploading some blasphemous content on a Facebook group.
Sajid approached the FIA to record his statement where he allegedly jumped from the fourth floor of the building. He was rushed to Ganga Ram Hospital and later shifted to General Hospital from where he was taken to Mayo. Civil Lines police registered a suicide attempt case against him.
Earlier, Shahdara police registered a blasphemy case against his cousin, Patras Masih, for allegedly posting blasphemous material on Facebook page Paglon ki Basti.
Sajid in his video statement to the media said the FIA had called him to their headquarters at Regal Chowk to record statement. He said the officials allegedly tortured him and snatched his mobile phone.
"They asked me to abuse myself, but I refused to do so. Later, they asked me to sexually assault my cousin, but I remained silent and jumped from the building," he said.
FIA Deputy Director Khwaja Hammad rejected the allegation and said the suspect was called for inquiry because he was a member of the Facebook group allegedly involved in sharing blasphemous material.
He said the suspect was asked to unlock the phone as a result he got panicked and jumped from the building. "No one had even touched the suspect," he said. He said they did not go for breaking the password because it could cause data loss.

[FoxNews] A YouTube star who had claimed a vegan diet and spiritual lifestyle cured her of breast cancer died of the disease, her niece confirmed.
Liz Johnson said her aunt Mari Lopez died in December after the cancer recurred. The two women hosted a YouTube channel together titled "Liz & Mari."
Johnson posted a video Sunday explaining her aunt stopped her vegan diet after her cancer returned. She attributed Lopez’s death to undergoing radiation, chemotherapy and eating meat again.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a mail order scam with all the credibility of a guy selling fake Rolex watches on a street corner at midnight, has done it again. The same lefty hate group whose hate map led to at least one violent attack on a religious group, which listed a sign outside a bar as a hate group and blatantly faked an Islamophobia increase is back in action.
This time the SPLC is denouncing female male supremacism. It's like white supremacism, except with men. So it's very trendy. But just as its Islamophobia materials accused some Muslims of being Islamophobes (because they opposed the Muslim Brotherhood), the SPLC attacks some women as "male supremacists".

[Yahoo] The Air Force is canceling the planned refresh of its Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) airborne command and surveillance aircraft, a $7 billion blow for program competitors Boeing (NYSE: BA), Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), and Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC).
Funding for the JSTARS recapitalization was not included in the 2019 Pentagon budget request, with the Air Force expected to instead try to develop a program that would link together sensors from a number of sources to complete the same tasks.
The original JSTARS program was first deployed in the early 1980s, designed to use airpower to detect and track multiple enemy targets and help coordinate attacks against targets. The Air Force in December 2016 launched a request for proposal for the engineering, manufacturing, and development of a fleet of 17 new aircraft with an estimated price tag of at least $6.9 billion.
However, critics have argued that the platform, based on relatively slow-moving planes, was outdated because those planes represent easy targets in a combat theater. Advances in sensor and radar technologies also helped contribute to the downfall of JSTARS. New, smarter, and smaller equipment can increasingly be placed on a variety of air, space, sea, and land systems and coordinate in real time, diminishing the need for a flying hub.
[BBC] Facebook has said it regrets promoting a virtual reality shooting game on its stand at a US conservatives' event.
The game allows the player to shoot imaginary weapons against enemies in a public train station.
Facebook said it removed the display at the Conservative Political Action Conference "out of respect" for victims of a recent school shooting in Florida.
"We regret that we failed to do so in the first place," Hugo Barra, the company's head of VR, told the BBC.
