Texas Gov. Greg Abbott directs use of buses to drop off migrants at steps of Capitol in DC
[FoxNews] Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday that undocumented migrants released into his state will be shipped to the steps of the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C., as border checkpoints struggle to manage the flow of people attempting to enter the United States and the Biden administration's move to eliminate the Title 42 expulsion provision.

The state will provide charter buses to drop off migrants – many released into small Texas communities that officials say are overwhelmed – in Washington, the Republican governor said in a news conference.

"We are sending them to the United States Capitol where the Biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border," Abbott said.

He noted that cities along the Texas-Mexico border have bused migrants to San Antonio.

"So I said I got a better idea. As opposed to busing these people to San Antonio, let's continue the ride all the way to Washington D.C.," Abbott said.

The first location where migrants will be dropped off is the U.S. Capitol, officials said.

W. Nim Kidd, chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, said his agency will "use as many buses as we need" to follow Abbott's directive. In past emergencies, up to 900 buses have been activated for evacuations, he said.

In addition, Abbott signed an order directing the state Department of Public Safety to conduct "enhanced" inspections of vehicles crossing into the U.S. from Mexico to ensure residents are not put in danger by unsafe vehicles or unsafe drivers.

He also announced actions to deter illegal immigration, such as using razor wire in low-water crossings. This week, the Texas National Guard will begin the first phase of "mass migration" rehearsals in preparation for a potential influx of migrants at the border, officials said.

"If you're a caravan organizer and you think you're going to overwhelm or overrun a port of entry, we'll be there waiting for you," said Maj. General Thomas Suelzer, the Texas National Guard adjutant general.

Areas along the Texas-Mexico border used heavily by human smugglers will also see increased lighting at night, officials said. The actions announced Wednesday will be funded by local taxpayers.

"Securing the border does not come cheap," Abbott said. "Securing the border would cost Texas nothing if the federal government was doing its job, but because Joe Biden is not securing the border, the state of Texas is having to step up and spend Texas taxpayer money doing the federal government's job."

The plan comes weeks before Title 42 is slated to expire on May 23. The Trump-era health order has been used to expel migrants at the southern border since the COVID-19 pandemic.

#1  Ah'd like a free ride to DC.

#2 
Great way to drive the Illegal open border mess home.

But DC city officials will likely just register them to vote and give them $$$$ to live on.

In short given the LSD control the virtual $$$$$ machine, I could see them doing anything to stay in power.

Great way to drive the Illegal open border message home.
But will the media cover it as it develops?
Or will it be handled low low key like the DC Truck Protest?

Either way, DC city officials will likely just register them to vote
and give them $$$$ to live on.

QUESTION: Will the other DC minority inhabitants mimic their NYC
brethren in how they mistreat and abuse other minorities?

Africa Horn
NISA: Al-Shabaab plotting to attack Farmaajo and PM Roble
[Garowe] Somalia's controversial National Intelligence Security Agency [NISA] now claims al-Shabaab
...... Somalia's version of the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda...

murderous Moslems are plotting to eliminate outgoing President Mohammed Abdullahi Farmaajo and Prime Minister Mohammed Hussein Roble, in the latest twist of events in the Horn of Africa nation.

In a post that analysts dismiss as "political", NISA claimed it has already briefed national leaders about the plot, adding that precautions have been taken to protect the two leaders, who are in charge of the country's fragile executive.

While the agency did not give finer details of the plot, it alleged that an individual named Mohammed Mahir, who is believed to be a senior al-Shabaab leader, is orchestrating an attack against the president and Prime Minister Mohammed Hussein Roble.

Both Roble and Farmaajo are yet to publicly comment on the outrageous claim and it's not clear whether PM Roble was adequately briefed. The two leaders have been battling for the control of the executive for months now.

Attacks targeting senior Somalia government officials including presidents and even former ministers are common in the country. The murderous Moslems usually target to eliminate senior government officials, security forces, and innocent civilians.

The warning comes as election impasse flares among Somali PM and pro-Villa Somalia members over the federal poll commission. The spy agency has recently been dubbed as dubious given its interference in politics and polls, and its never-ending association with Farmaajo.

Currently, NISA is under the leadership of Abdullahi Farey, a close ally of President Mohammed Abdullahi Farmaajo. Last year, Roble kicked out Fahad Yasin, a former al-Jazeera journalist who went on to become one of the most feared sleuths often accused of interfering with the country's internal politics.

Last week, PM Roble noted that he was receiving disguised death threat messages from individuals he claimed of knowing them. Given the alleged al-Shabaab meddling in the spy agency, security experts contend that this is a politically motivated threat by NISA.

While speaking at the funeral of slain MP Amina Mohammed Abdi, Roble added that he's been receiving threats after endorsing the sacking of a regional election committee. In the same event, the PM alleged that Amina and missing intelligence agent Ikran Tahlil were killed by the same people.

NISA's statement has been dismissed as absurdity with analysts contending that the agency is playing politics with the people of Somalia. There have been calls to disband the agency given that it is accused of taking sides on matters of politics.

"I have worked with more than 5 Prime Ministers since 2009/10 in situations much worse than this, never saw this kind of infiltration and conspiracy closely collaborated with the enemy. Having said that, I believe Somalia will prevail and we will come out stronger," says Kamal Gutale, former Chief of Staff at Villa Somalia.

"The timing of the warning issued by NISA is highly suspicious and worrying," adds Mohammed Farole, who is senior security advisor to the Puntland
...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion...
presidency. "The agency is currently under the leadership of a group affiliated with Villa Somalia, which could have a vested interest in this warning."

Follow up to this story.
[DW] Around 300 non-combatants were killed in central Mali in late March, according to Human Rights Watch. Witnesses say Malian soldiers and imported muscle attacked Islamist snuffies before also executing civilians.

Fifth Column
BLM's LA mansion sold for 250 percent more than the price of similar homes in the area
[NYPOST] The $6 million Los Angeles mansion purchased by the country’s top Black Lives Matter group sold for 250 percent more than the price of similar properties in its Studio City neighborhood, and went for $2.7 million more than property records show.Records state that the property initially sold for $3.1 million in October 2020, but by the time it was transferred to a shell company controlled by Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation days later, the price had increased to $5.8 million.

It’s unclear what caused the discrepancy. A front man for BLMGNF could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

BLMGNF bought the sprawling property, which features a separate sound stage, pool and guest house, in the fall of 2020 to be used as a creative "campus" and safe house for the group, according to a report in New York magazine on Monday.

India-Pakistan
Fazl Demands NA Deputy Speaker's Ruling Be Declared Null And Void
[NATION.PK] Pakistain Democratic Movement (PDM) chairman and Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam
...the political wing of the Pak Taliban...
-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman
...Deobandi holy man, known as Mullah Diesel during the war against the Soviets, his sympathies for the Taliban have never been tempered by honesty...
said on Wednesday that the ruling of National Assembly Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri be declared null and void on priority basis and MNAs be given right to vote to elect to new prime minister.

Talking to media on Wednesday, he said that Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality disorders...
violated the country’s constitution and the next Friday will be marked as "Day of Protection for Constitution" and Pakistain’s existence would be in danger if constitution is violated.

The PDM chairman said that the crisis emerged due to the unconstitutional ruling of the deputy speaker and the crisis has put Pakistain’s illusory sovereignty at stake.

He said the workers of the PTI were inciting the country’s youth and democratic powers that could spread anarchy in the country. "We cannot dictate courts but the nation is in confusion over normal court proceedings."

Fazlur Rehman also urged the institutions to play their role in order to protect the constitution, adding that the taking suo motu
...a legal term, from the Latin. Roughly translated it means I saw what you did, you bastard...
notice of the matter by the Supreme Court was a right step.

Pakistan condemns burning, vandalisation of Muslims' houses by 'Hindu zealots' in India's Rajasthan
[Dawn] Pakistain strongly condemned on Tuesday the "senseless vandalisation and burning of more than 40 houses of" the Moslem community in the Karauli area of India's Rajasthan state by "Hindu zealots" during recent communal festivities, a statement issued by the Foreign Office said.

According to Indian publication The Wire, the festivities broke out on April 2 "after stones were pelted at a cycle of violence rally taken out to celebrate the Hindu new year, prompting authorities to clamp a curfew, suspend the internet and deploy 600 police personnel".

Around 35 people were maimed in the violence and 46 people were initially taken into custody by police for interrogation, a report by NDTV said, adding that a case was registered against 13 people. Later, the report said, police arrested another 33 people for violating the curfew order.

The reports said houses and shops were set on fire during the episode but did not confirm the number of properties that were damaged.

However,
women are made to be loved, not understood...
in its condemnation, Pakistain said over 40 properties belonging to the Moslem community were set ablaze and vandalised by "radical Hindu zealots belonging to the BJP-RSS (Bharatiya Janata Party-Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) dispensation with the connivance of local security authorities" during the festivities.

"Equally alarming is the apathy of state machinery which wantonly looked the other way and failed in its basic duty of protecting the lives and properties of its citizens," the statement said, adding that regretfully, minorities in India, especially Moslems continued to live under fear and intimidation.

"The BJP-RSS combine has enabled [the] perpetration of senseless violence against minorities as part of its ’Hindutva’ agenda marked by hate and majoritarianism," the statement read.

It added that recent history was replete with traumatic instances that reflected the current Indian regime’s deep-seated animosity against Moslems in the country.

"Deafening silence of the BJP leadership and absence of discernible action against ’Hindutva’ proponents must ring alarm bells across the international community. Rather than relenting in their hostilities against Moslems, the BJP-RSS activists have intensified the atrocities" the statement said.

In this connection, the FO cited the example of Yati Narsinghan, an infamous Haridwar priest, once again "brazenly" calling upon Hindus on April 3 to take up arms against Moslems.

"Pakistain calls upon the international community to take immediate notice of the worrying level of Islamophobia
...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do...
in India and prevail upon Indian authorities to prevent systematic human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
violations against minorities, particularly Moslems, and take effective steps to ensure the safety, security and well-being of all minorities in India," the statement read.

If having WARS wasn't big $$$$$ for certain Elites & Families. The USA would just offer $20 Million Bounties to take out Hostile Leadership.

Witnesses describe hostages' despair at Brit's terror trial
[MSN] By May 2014, American hostage Peter Kassig was losing hope that he would survive his captivity at the hands of the Islamic State group.

Jihadi George from the ‘hood. He was born in Sudan, and he was not at all a nice man. The rest is only detail.
“Dad, I'm paralyzed here. I'm afraid to fight back. Part of me still has hope. Part of me is sure I'm going to die,” he wrote to his father, Ed Kassig, who read the letter from the witness stand Wednesday at the terrorism trial of British national El Shafee Elsheikh.

The testimony left many in the courtroom fighting back tears in what's so far been a two-week trial that has detailed in gruesome ways the brutality inflicted on more than 20 Western hostages held captive by the Islamic State roughly a decade ago.
