VLake never took a bad photo before 1948 or so (except when she cut her hair short around 1944 for the war effort). Then she lost her contract with Paramount and things went to h***. A very sad story, before and after.

Given the obvious Racist Physical Assault acts of one color/race focused on attacking specifically 2 other colors/races.
One has to ask where the hell is the usual run to the camera:
NYC Mayor?
NYC LSD's?
The ACLU ?
The SCLC?
The Rev's?
The NY LSD's
& The Media displays of Click Bait Outrage?
Is it because the Attackers are most likely
Black-American Democrat party and/or Socialist-Democrat voters?
KUNDUZ HOUSE SEARCHES — House-to-house searches have been reported in Kunduz province, primarily in predominantly Tajik neighborhoods. No information has been provided about what the searches are intended to discover. Similar searches have been reported in Mazar-i-Sharif, which are reportedly more thorough than ongoing searches in Kunduz.
NEW PAKISTANI AMBASSADOR — Pakistan appointed Ubaidur Rehman Nizamani as their new ambassador to Afghanistan. Nizamani is a career foreign service officer with significant experience in the diplomatic realm, including serving as second in command at Pakistan’s Embassy in Washington, DC. It is unclear if the new ambassador will take on the difficult task of attempting to curtail the corrupt practices within the embassy’s visa unit.
IMPENDING TTP CONFLICT — Pakistan appears to be gearing up for combat actions against the TTP after a recent round of peace talks appear to have failed. Significant troop movements have been reported in western Pakistan.
CONFLICT TRACKER:
Baghlan: In a dispute between Taliban groups of different ethnicities, the Intelligence Chief of Tala Wa Barfak district was killed along with two of his bodyguard by a relative of local Talib commander Qari Meraj.
Takhar: 2 Talib turbans killed in Taleqan city overnight. Also, a Talib security checkpoint on the outskirts of Taleqan was shot at around midnight.
[ToloNews] Local officials in Kunduz province said the security forces have started house-to-house searches in the city and some districts of the province.
According to the officials, the purpose of these searches is to collect illegal equipment and to ensure the safety of the people of the province.
"We discovered a large number of weapons and ammunition, and this will ensure security in Kunduz province," Maaz said.
The police chief of Kunduz, Qari Bakhtyar Maaz, stated that searches have begun at the request of the locals and that some guns, ammunition, and government vehicles have also been discovered.
"As the house-to-house searches in Kunduz were the request of the residents of this province, we also ask them to cooperate with us in this regard," Maaz said.
However, if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning... some residents of Kunduz have a different view about the house-to-house searches by the security forces.
"Weapons and ammunition should be collected, and in this country, there is a need to," said Ajmal, a resident of Kunduz.
"Weapons and rifles should vanish from Afghanistan, and instead of these, people should start working, use the pen, and guide their children to education," stated Abdullah Sahil, a Kunduz local.
The Kunduz Police commander said that the house-to-house inspections will take place with the participation of the representative of the people, the mosque's imam, and female coppers.
House-to-house searches have been conducted by Islamic Emirate forces in various parts of the nation since the previous government fell.
On Saturday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) claimed that Ottoman Turkish commanders ordered Syrian mercenaries stationed in Libya not to engage in the festivities taking place 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... According to reliable sources, the SOHR added that the mercenaries have not yet engaged in the fighting, in compliance with the orders of their commanders, and the Ottoman Turkish authorities.
At least one person was killed and five others maimed during the festivities, a health official said.
Footage circulated online showed houses and vehicles damaged from the fighting.
The Tripoli Revolutionaries Brigade (TRB) affiliated with the commander Haitham al-Tajouri clashed with the Stabilization Support Apparatus (SSA) affiliated with Abdel-Ghani al-Kikli (Gheniwa).
According to witnesses, the TRB managed to defeat SSA forces, take control of the internal security headquarters on al-Jumhuriya Street, seize dozens of cars, and detain three people.
And a good time was had by all, except the dead guys and some of the maimed.
Fighting broke out in various districts of Tripoli between groups armed with both heavy and light weapons. Libya’s two rival governments yet again vie for power in the oil-rich, but impoverished North African country.
Gunshots and explosions rang through the darkened streets of Tripoli, according to media reports.
The SOHR confirmed that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... has failed to pay the salaries of the Syrian mercenaries being stationed in Libya’s Yarmouk camp for five consecutive months.
In a statement, the SOHR said that this comes amid calls by those mercenaries to stage protests over their overdue salaries.
According to reliable sources, SOHR claims that "fear has spread among members of the Syrian National Army, who are stationed inside the Yarmouk camp, located in areas controlled by the Libyan Government of National Unity (GNU). This is against the backdrop of the military operations launched by Turkey in its ’Euphrates Shield’ areas of northern Syria, which has been held by pro-Ottoman Turkish Syrian opposition fighters since 2016."
The Observatory recently reported that the Yarmouk camp is witnessing escalating disputes between the mercenaries. This is due to the fact that they are unable to visit Syria, and that the mercenary exchanges have stopped.
Many of the mercenaries have been stationed in Libya for two years, without having returned under leave or exchanged to Syrian territory.
The SOHR sources confirmed that militia leaders "continued to steal parts of their salaries." In addition, the fighters are not being provided with food allowances.
Two mercenaries reportedly fled to neighbouring Algeria, in a bid to travel onwards to Europe. Ottoman Turkish intelligence reportedly arrested the brother of one of the men, to pressure him to return to Libya.
Last month, Ottoman Turkish forces in Libya informed the Syrian mercenaries of the cessation of back-and-forth transfer operations until the end of 2022. They added that aircrafts will only be sent when necessary.
On 9 May, SOHR noted that preparations were underway in the northern Aleppo countryside, to send a new group of mercenaries to Libya. The group comprised of nearly 75 fighters.
Deadly clashes broke out Saturday in Libya's capital Tripoli between militias backed by its two rival administrations.
At least 23 people were killed, including 17 civilian, and 140 more wounded, the Health Ministry said.
Six hospitals were hit and ambulances were unable to reach areas affected by the fighting.
The escalation threatens to shatter the relative calm Libya has enjoyed for most of the past two years
WHO IS INVOLVED IN THE FIGHTING?
The clashes involved groups that back the Tripoli-based Government of National Unity (GNU), led by Abdulhamid Dbeibah, against supporters of former Interior Minister Fathi Bashagha, backed by the House of Representatives in the eastern city of Tobruk.
The UN mission in Libya said the fighting involved "indiscriminate medium and heavy shelling in civilian-populated neighborhoods” of Tripoli.
It came a month after a bout of fighting shook the relative peace in the Libyan capital, killing several civilians.
The two factions have repeatedly mobilized in Tripoli in recent weeks. This week, Dbeibah-linked factions paraded around Tripoli.
A GNU statement blamed Saturday's clashes on pro-Bashagha forces, saying they had fired on a convoy in Tripoli. Other pro-Bashagha units had amassed outside Libya's capital, according to the statement.
Bashagha's administration did not directly respond to the accusation.
Bashagha tried to enter Tripoli in May, and was then driven out following hours of fighting.
RIVAL ADMINISTRATIONS VIE FOR POWER
The fighting follows rising tensions between the rival administrations.
Bashagha, who is backed by the Tobruk-based parliament, says the Dbeibah-run GNU's mandate has expired. Bashagha was appointed in February by the parliament, which was elected in 2014. He has been unable to impose authority in Tripoli.
Dbeibah was appointed by a UN-backed commission last year on an interim basis. He had vowed to cede his position to a democratically elected leader, but the elections he had pledged to hold last December failed to materialize.
Unexpectedly. Perhaps it would be better if the UN Security Council kept its pointy nose out of things for a while, since much of the fighting has been between the various governments they’ve appointed since President Obama and his little friends got rid of the little colonel Moammar Kadaffy.
The GNU said negotiations for the calling of new elections had been underway, but Bashagha "walked out at the last moment."
Meanwhile, Bashagha's administration says it has never rejected talks with Dbeibah.
Libya has been marked by sometimes violent power struggles between different factions since the 2011 overthrow of strongman Moammar Gadhafi, who ruled the North African country for 42 years.

They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... -backed faction of Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter.

Gajiram is the headquarters of Nganzai Local Government Area of the state.
"The turbans were said to have come in several trucks fitted with machine guns on Saturday morning," Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst in Lake Chad said in a confirmation of the attack.
Since the death of JAS leader, Abubakar Shekau ...the lunatic leader of Boko Haram who has been reported dead at least eleven times, pledged his body and soul to ISIS, told his fighters to hang it up once or twice, and been fired by the Caliph and refused to step down.

The sect’s membership has swollen with the defection of hundreds of Boko Haram fighters under Shekau.

[HODHODYEMENNEWS] A security force affiliated with the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) on Thursday stormed a women’s seminar in the city of Mukalla, the capital of Hadhramout province, eastern Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... Local sources confirmed that armed elements affiliated with the STC raided a women’s event at the Ramada Hotel in the center of the city, due to raising up the flag of the Republic of Yemen.
The sources explained that the officers took down the Yemeni flag and tore it apart in front of the attendees, in a scene that met with widespread anger.
The incident comes a few days after the STC authorities circulated a ban on holding any events raising up the flag of the Republic of Yemen in the oil plateau.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC)’s militias on Saturday took control of the entire coastal strip of the Abyan ...a governorate of Yemen. The region was a base to the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army terrorist group until it dropped the name and joined al-Qaeda. Its capital is Zinjibar. In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an Islamic Emirate after seizing control of the region. The New York Times fastidiously reported that those in control, while Islamic hard boyz, are not in fact al-Qaeda, but something else that looks, tastes, smells, and acts the same. Yemeni government forces launched an effort to re-establish control of the region when President-for-Life Saleh was tossed and the carnage continues... province, south of Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... Local media said that the so-called "security belt" militia of the STC in "Delta" areas had deployed on the international line and the coastal strip extending to Ahwar district.
The sources confirmed that, after their spread, the security belt militia began combing the eastern district of Ahwar until "Al-Arqoub" mountain overlooking Shuqra area.
In the context, a statement issued by the central operations of the "security belt" militia said: "The redeployment process started from receiving the first security point from Shabwah direction after combing and securing the city and al-Qasha’a point according to the deployment plan for the southern forces on the coast of Abyan."
The "Siham al-Sharq" operation will continue until the province is cleansed of terrorist elements, as the statement said.
It is worth noting that this operation, which was launched by Aidarous al-Zubaidi, president of the STC and member of the "Riyadh-formed Presidential Council" headed by Rashat al-Alimi, is still continuing despite the issuance of a decision by al-Alimi to stop this operation.

[Breitbart] Two Iranian brothers are set to face trial over allegations one acted as a mole in the Swedish security police and military intelligence.
The brothers, who were born in Iran but came to Sweden as children in 1994, are accused of spying activity from March of 2011 until their arrest in September and November of last year, but it is not immediately clear if they were passing information to Iranian intelligence or any other party.
So there is a real possibility they were just spying for their own amusement? For eleven years??
The older brother of the pair is said to have worked as an investigator and spent time in the Security Police (SAPO) as well as working for military intelligence and the Office for Special Acquisition (KSI), one of Sweden’s most secretive intelligence agencies, the newspaper Expressen reports.
According to the newspaper, the man was sought after by many intelligence agencies due to his command of the Persian language on top of his existing skills as an investigator.
The younger brother, meanwhile, worked for SAPO for a brief period, but it is unclear whether or not the brothers were working at the security police during the same period.
Not much is known regarding the details of the investigation as prosecutors Per Lindqvist and Mats Ljungqvist have commented very little on the substance of the allegations.
Both prosecutors and the lawyers for the brothers have been called to a Stockholm court, confirming that the pair will face trial over the spying allegations. A member of the Swedish armed forces, code-named FM 019, was also present at the hearing and is said to have been linked to the older brother’s activity.
Both of the brothers have denied the allegations against them. Both brothers are currently in isolated custody where they are not allowed to follow any news broadcasts or read newspapers. "WTF? You mean Biden won??"
Formal charges against the pair are expected in the coming months; the trial will not be open to the public.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Pretty much checks all the boxes.
Self-admitted 'racist group' the National Straight Pride Coalition organized a march in front of the Modesto Planned Parenthood Reading the article, it’s clear that the “admission” was straight up sarcasm. After all, heterosexuality is the norm across all racial and ethnic categories, even the Greeks ;-)
Caravans of LGBTQ supporters and pro-choice advocates came to protest the march
Both sides clashed, bottles were thrown, protest signs were used as clubs
A flashbang grenade or firecracker ignited a shrubbery outside the abortion clinic
Modesto police in riot gear pushed back against a wall of LGBTQ counter-protesters and fired pepper balls into the crowd
[FoxNews] The New Mexico man allegedly tried to establish a training center and later cover up ties to two suspected ISIS recruits who were arrested in Texas
The Department of Justice indicted a New Mexico man, charging him with attempting to provide material support for ISIS.
Herman Leyvoune Wilson, aka Bilal Mu’Min Abdullah, 45, of Albuquerque, allegedly attempted to set up an "Islamic State Center" in New Mexico. The center was designed to "teach ISIS ideology, provide training in tactical maneuvers and martial arts, and serve as a safe haven for individuals preparing to travel and fight on behalf of ISIS in the United States and abroad," according to the DOJ.
The DOJ also charged Wilson with attempting to obstruct, influence and impede an official proceeding for allegedly shutting down an online platform to destroy and conceal records. Wilson allegedly used the platform to promote ISIS ideology and recruit others to join ISIS and come to the center he allegedly attempted to establish in New Mexico.
Two Texas men, Kristopher Matthews and Jaylin Molina, who have pleaded guilty to conspiring to provide material support to ISIS, said Wilson radicalized them and "that without Wilson’s influence, they would never have committed the crimes."
Wilson allegedly tried to cover up his and the online platform’s ties to Matthews and Molina when they were arrested.
If Wilson is convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison for the charge of attempting to provide material support and 20 years for attempting to impede an official proceeding.
[DAWN] The police have arrested a man, who had thrown a threatening letter into the office of the elementary and secondary education department in Balambat on August 22.
Talking to news hounds at the Timergara Police Lines here on Friday, district police officer Ikramullah said the contents of the letter warned of blowing up the education office if the male and female staffers were not separated.

They fired a few warning shots and took the man into custody, the officials said, adding that no incriminating material was found in his possession.
On August 25, the BSF foiled a major smuggling attempt when its troops seized eight kg of suspected heroin from a Pak intruder along the IB in Samba district.
The intruder was shot at and injured, but he managed to crawl back to the Pak side.

[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian suspect arrested and found to be carrying a knife after guards at Reihan crossing received intelligence information on planned attack.
Guards at a West Bank crossing foiled a planned stabbing attack on Saturday, arresting a Paleostinian man, the Defense Ministry said.
The ministry said guards at the Reihan crossing in the northern West Bank had received information on the "attempted attack," and arrested a Paleostinian suspect who was found to be carrying a knife.
The man was taken for questioning by the security services, the statement said.
The incident follows an attempted attack before dawn when an Israeli security vehicle came under fire near the West Bank settlement of Shavei Shomron, the military said.
No one was injured in the attack, though the car belonging to the settlement’s security team was damaged.
According to Kan news, the car was hit by three bullets from the direction of the Paleostinian town of Deir Sharaf, and a total of four shell casings were found nearby.
The report said the driver was conducting a patrol along a road that circles the settlement.
Shavei Shomron is located in the northern West Bank, northwest of Nablus. The area has seen an uptick in shooting attacks in recent months.
[NPASyria] Internal Security Forces of North and East Syria (Asayish) found on Saturday a trench, sleeper cells of Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... Organization (ISIS) used to hid in, and arrested six ISIS murderous Moslems in Hawl Camp, east of Hasakah, northeastern Syria.
This comes in the framework of the second phase of the "Humanity and Security" operation in Hawl Camp to pursue ISIS sleeper cells following a resurge in murders in the camp recently.
The operation has started by the end of last week and it was praised by the US-led Global Coalition.
The first phase started in 2021 in response to calls of community and tribal leaders in Hawl countryside to reduce crimes at the camp.
The coalition said, on its official Facebook page, that the efforts carried out by Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are part of the biggest mission, which is depriving ISIS from returning, and ensuring peace and stability in northeastern Syria.
A day earlier, 27 murderous Moslems of the ISIS sleeper cells were arrested and four trenches were discovered too.
In a statement on its official page, the Asayish pointed out that combing and search operations are still going on to establish security and stability in the camp.
On the same day, SDF and Asayish removed 33 tents inside which sharia law courses were given an execution sentences were passed, according to a statement issued by the Asayish earlier.
Hawl Camp, 45 km east of the city of Hasakah, is a house for 55.829 individuals, including 28.725 Iraqis, 18.850 Syrians and 8.254 of foreign nationalities, according to the latest statistics obtained by North Press.
The camp witnesses murders with different methods, most notably firearms. The management of the camp fears that the latest Ottoman Turkish threats of invading areas in northern Syria would pave the way for ISIS to reorganize its ranks; North Press cited a statement by the management as saying.

[NPASyria] Iranian-backed militias moved, Thursday, bully boyz of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) of the Iranian nationality and their weapon’s depots outside the Syrian borders towards Iraq.
A military source from the IRGC in the town of Abu kamal told North Press, "Civilian cars entered from Iraqi-Syrian border and headed to the IRGC headquarters in the towns of al-Mayadin, Abu kamal, al-Asharah and al-Duwair in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, to transport Iranian bully boyz and leaders to Iraq."
The source pointed out that these moves came after intensive Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s by the US-led Global Coalition.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity for security reasons, added that the IRGC evacuated a depot near Aisha Hospital in the center Abu Kamal.
The Iranian-backed militias also evacuated Iranian pilgrims at Ain Ali shrine in the town of al-Mayadin in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor.
And they transformed the Iranian pilgrims via taxis and civilian cars as camouflage for fear of being targeted by aircrafts that have been hovering over the town for more than three days.
The remained leaders and soldiers at the military posts move in civilian cars between their posts, and they hide in civilian homes at night, the source indicated.
Iranian-backed militias control large areas of the Syrian Dessert and the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, after expulsion of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... Organization (ISIS) from the area in 2017.
The last three days witnessed great tension between the Iranian-backed militias and the US-led Global Coalition.
Iranian-backed militias shelled military bases of the coalition in both oil fields of Koniko and al-Omar in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor.
The coalition responded by shelling several military sites of the Iranian-backed militias west of the Euphrates.
The coalition attack resulted in "casualties among the Iranian-backed militias."
[NPASyria] A fighter of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) was rubbed out on Saturday by unidentified attackers, believed to be cells of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS), in a town north of Deir ez-Zor city, eastern Syria.
An SDF military source in the town of al-Suwar, 70 km north of Deir ez-Zor, said, "Two unknown button men riding a cycle of violence opened fire with a Kalashnikov at 45-year-old SDF fighter Yassin al-Nassir, nicknamed Abu Shaman, near the main road in al-Suwar."
"Al-Nassir was heading to his home to spend his furlough. He hailed form the village of Jadid Ekedat in Deir ez-Zor eastern countryside," the source added.
The source cited eyewitnesses, who were close to the attack scene, as saying that the button men chanted ISIS slogans before fleeing.
The countryside of Deir ez-Zor witnesses a spike in liquidations, targeting SDF fighters, employees of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), tribal leaders and civilians, despite the intensive security operations launched by the SDF.
On August 23, ISIS grabbed credit for killing two SDF fighters in the village of al-Saada, east of the town of Markadah in Hasakah southern countryside, around 30 km north of al-Suwar.

[NPASyria] Ottoman Turkish forces shelled on Saturday evening a village in the countryside of Tel Tamr, a town north of Hasakah Governorate, northeastern Syria.
A source in the Tel Tamr Military Council, affiliated with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), told North Press, "The Ottoman Turkish forces targeted with several artillery shells the inhabited village of Tel al-Laban, west of Tel Tamr."
The shelling caused material damage but no loss in human life.
This bombardment comes after three days of calm in the Tel Tamer area and the northern countryside of Hasakah.
Tel Tamr, which has a population of about 25.000 and is 30 km away from the Syrian-Ottoman Turkish border, is of strategic importance as it is a junction on the M4 Highway linking the Jazira region in northeast Syria to Aleppo governorate in northwest.
The town has been under constant attack by Ottoman Turkish forces and their affiliated Syrian opposition factions, known as the Syrian National Army (SNA), for more than two years.
