[NYPOST] The South Carolina Supreme Court ...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations... wants to revoke the law license of attorney Alex Murdaugh, saying there is overwhelming evidence he stole millions of dollars from his clients even though more than 70 criminal charges against the prominent lawyer have not been resolved.
Also still unresolved are the shooting deaths of Murdaugh’s wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, more than a year ago. No one has been charged in their deaths, which have led to at least a half-dozen investigations into Murdaugh, his family and his finances that resulted in indictments that Murdaugh stole $8.5 million from people who hired him.
Murdaugh losing his law license permanently would be a sharp blow to a family that has dominated the legal scene in tiny Hampton County for nearly a century. Murdaugh’s father, grandfather and great-grandfather were the elected prosecutors for 87 years straight.
Alex Murdaugh once worked for the family-founded law firm, which boasted of more than a dozen verdicts in civil cases of over $1 million. The firm said in September that Murdaugh was stealing money.
In its order Thursday, the state Supreme Court also cited charges against Murdaugh for filing a false police report and fraud when he claimed someone shot at him as he changed a tire on the side of a remote two-lane Hampton County road.

I see, before the family and his own shooting, reports emerged that Murdaugh was pushed out of his law firm over "millions in missing funds."
On September 16, 2021, according to court Doc's he was arrested in connection to an insurance fraud scheme that court documents say involved him arranging for his own killing so his surviving son could collect the life insurance payout.
So he now is facing charges of insurance fraud, conspiracy to commit insurance fraud, and filing a false police report, according to a statement from the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. (SCLED)
Most notability, he has a Mental Illness of donating to Democrats, including Joe B.
[Breitbart] Ten years ago, in 2012, former President Barack Obama created the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program via executive order that has allowed nearly 800,000 illegal aliens to evade arrest and deportation.
Standards for the Obama program were set so low that tens of thousands of illegal aliens with prior arrest records for crimes like murder, rape, and kidnapping were able to secure DACA status.
In 2018, then-President Trump’s administration released comprehensive data on DACA, previously hidden by the Obama administration, that revealed the extent to which the program had successfully helped shield criminal illegal aliens from arrest and deportation by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.
From 2012 to 2018, about 53,792 illegal aliens were awarded DACA despite having prior arrest records. Meanwhile, nearly 8,000 illegal aliens awarded DACA were later arrested for crimes, the data shows.
[Garowe] In yet another breathtaking interview, a top al-Shabaab ...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... commander has insisted the group is still "very strong" and determined to "take over" the country from the current leadership, arguing that "they have failed to show direction" to the people.
For over a decade, the al-Qaeda group which controls large swathes of rural central and southern Somalia has been struggling with the fragile UN-backed Somalia administration, which has struggled to stamp authority in the Horn of Africa nation.
Mahad Karate, the deputy leader of al-Shabaab who also controls the group's Intelligence wing known as Amniyat, told Channel 4 News' Jamal Osman that "we are not yet done and cannot be intimidated". This was one of the open interviews by the commander in as many months.
Although it's not clear where their interview was conducted, the surrounding suggests that it could be on a riverside on the outskirts of Jilib town located in Middle Jubba. The town, believed to be impenetrable, has been the capital of the group for years.
The al-Shabaab commander dismissed Somalia's government as "weak and inconsequential" and vowed to mobilize "liberation " soldiers to topple it. He also warned the "foreign troops" against "killing" civilians in the struggling Horn of Africa nation.
When he took over last week as 10th president of the federal republic of Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud insisted that "my first task is to work with stakeholders to defeat al-Shabaab". The new president accused the group of extorting local farmers, some of who have since moved to IDP camps.
The president's announcement came shortly after Pentagon confirmed the redeployment of troops to Somalia as part of President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences. So does Afghanistan, aka Biden's Bungle... 's counterterrorism approach. The US is expected to deploy close to 500 soldiers, over a year after the troops were repositioned by the Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... administration.
Pentagon said, "our sole aim in Somalia is to support Somali National Army and the African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... Transition Mission by training and equipping them". The role of US soldiers in Somalia has often been questioned due to casualties emanating from their frequent Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s.
Fundamentally, the US Africa Command is critical in training and equipping the Danab Special Forces, a contingent within the Somali National Army. The Danab troops with aerial assistance from the US troops have been instrumental in downing al-Shabaab murderous Moslems
Mahad Karate, the senior financial coordinator, has been on US radar for years now, with US troops missing him through airstrikes just like current leader Ahmed Diriye. The US placed a $5 million bounty on his head but efforts to trace him have been futile for a while.
A report published by the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... revealed that the al-Shabaab operatives with a budget of almost $100 million annually, most extortion from local businesses and foreign donations. Of this sum, close to $24 million is set aside for purchasing sophisticated weapons.
The group has persistently targeted security forces, government officials, and civilians within Somalia and across the borders. Kenya, which is one of the African Union Transition Mission [ATMIS] troops contributing nations, is one of the most affected countries by al-Shabaab raids.
Last month, the turbans attacked El-Baraf Forward Operating Base which is manned by Burundian troops, killing over 30 soldiers. The US promised the new administration that it will closely work with native troops to ensure al-Shabaab is significantly degraded.
Then, they've got, what, Somalia? Nothing but a boat anchor around their necks. And Somalians like living under Sharia. Remember when we came to help them from starving to death and they thanked us by opening fire?
[AlAhram] 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.... -linked jihadists, whose power was once thought to be waning in the Sahel, have expanded their reach recently, marking their presence with an unprecedented series of civilian massacres.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The Emirati company, Dixon Power has asked the citizens of Socotra Island, southern 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... , to pay their electricity bills in Emirati dirhams instead of in Yemeni currency.
A bill issued by the Emirates electricity company revealed that it demanded the Yemeni Electricity Corporation in Socotra to pay the consumption bill at a value of 501 dirhams, including 207 dirhams in previous arrears, warning it to cut off electricity from the corporation and impose a fine if they did not comply.
Through the so-called "Khalifa Foundation", the UAE has looted the generators of the Yemeni Electricity Corporation in Hadibo city, some of which were granted by the Sultanate of Oman, after its militias took control of the city in June 2019, and moved six other electric generators with cables feeding the generators from the old power station in Hadibo to the Dixam area.
The Emirati company, run by an Iraqi named Yasser al-Ani, imposed an amount of 100,000 Yemeni riyals as fees on the counters of shops and residential homes in 2020.
The company also replaced Yemeni meters with its own electronic ones, and imposed an amount of 225,000 Yemeni riyals per meter in August 2021 on the homes and shops of citizens.
The UAE ensured its military control over the Socotra archipelago, which is far removed from the military confrontations in mainland Yemen, in 2016, under the pretext of humanitarian actions by the Khalifa Foundation.

[BenarNews] The ARSA rebel leader ordered the killing of Rohingya activist Muhib Ullah at a Bangladeshi refugee camp last year, police in the South Asian country said in recommending murder charges against 29 suspects, although the Death Eater group denied being involved.
Muhib Ullah was more popular than Ataullah Abu Ahmmar Jununi,
...born in Karachi, reared in Mecca, where he was imam to his fellow Rohingya expats until inspired to return to the home he never knew to lead what he claims is a non-jihadi nationalist revolt against the Burmese government. Burma claims he was trained in guerrilla warfare by the Taliban in Pakistan in 2012...
the head of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army,
...the main Rohingya krazed killer group operating in Myanmar's troubled Rakhine state that borders Bangladesh's southeast, and also in the Rohingya refugee camp in Cox’s Bazaar, though Bangladesh adamantly refuses to accept the idea that it’s there. It was ARSA’s attack on several police posts in Rakhine in 2017 that caused the Burmese Myanmar army to crack down, driving three quarters of a million Moslem Rohingya back to Bangladesh, from whence they had illegally migrated a century or two earlier...
and that displeased the ARSA chief, according to an investigation report that police submitted to a court in Cox’s Bazar district on Monday.

CBP this week released new data on people crossing southern border illegally
So far this fiscal year, 50 migrants on the terror watchlist have been caught
That is up from 15 in fiscal 2021 and single digits each of the prior four years
A record 239,416 migrants attempted to cross the border illegally in May
In December - which is part of the ongoing 2022 fiscal year - U.S. Border Patrol agents from the Yuma Sector busted a 21-year-old Saudi Arabian national with ties to a Yemeni terror group.
While the man's name was not released, the sector confirmed him 'as a positive match linked to several Yemeni subjects of interests.'
In an unusual twist, the suspect was wearing a volunteer paramedics jacket from an ambulance company in Central Oneida County, New York.
Homeland Security officials have said that border resources are exhausted when agents face 5,000 migrants per day. Last month, they saw nearly 8,000 per day.
Border agents say there were a higher-than-usual number of repeat crossings in May due to the fact that migrants expelled under Title 42, a pandemic-era restriction currently tied up in court, face no legal repercussions if they try to cross again.
The number of unique individuals attempted to cross in May was 177,793, and 25 percent of those stopped by agents had attempted to cross at least once before in the prior 12 months, according to CBP. The average re-encounter rate prior to Title 42 was 15 percent.
Most migrants attempting to cross in May were not families but single adults - 69 percent.
And unlike previous months, Title 42 is no longer the main authority under which migrants are expelled, only 42 percent of migrants were removed under the CDC's health order.
Most of the migrants expelled under Title 42 were single adults - only about one in six who came in families with children under 18 were subject to Title 42. Unaccompanied children are exempt from the rule.
Fifty-eight percent were expelled under Title 8. Under Title 8, a U.S. immigration policy used when migrants who try to cross unlawfully cannot establish any 'credible fear' basis for being in the country. DHS has said it will expand use of Title 8 once Title 42 is gone.
The Biden administration planned to end Title 42 on May 23 but a federal judge in Louisiana blocked the move three days before.
Migrants have been expelled more than 2 million times without a chance to seek asylum since the rule took effect in March 2020.
According to the Pakistani media, Pakistan is sending a 13-member religious scholar delegation to Kabul to continue and accelerate the talks with the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), also known as, Pakistani Taliban. Read more at:https://t.co/PAcp09wmOa
[AlAhram] Egyptian Coalition for Human Rights and Development (ECHRD) issued a report on Thursday detailing a threefold increase in Israeli hate speech and incitement against Paleostinians on social media in 2021 over 2020 and describing its long term harms.
This, as is usual from these groups, completely ignores Palestinian anti-Israel/Jew hate speech that’s been consistently official — from the Palestinian government, television, school lessons — since the 1930s, not to mention anti-Jew violence throughout the same period. But according to their protectors the suffering Arabs are compelled by their emotions in this, while the Jews are held to a higher standard.
In a report titled "Hate Speech and Apartheid in the Occupied Paleostinian Territories" issued Thursday, the ECHRD stated that hate speech against Paleostinians is rooted in racist Israeli educational curriculum and news media that is responsible for implanting hatred since childhood on.
The report also stated that the expansionist settlement policy has resulted in the Paleostinians being subjected to discriminatory apartheid laws favouring Jewish settlers.
"Most of those who live in the settlements are from Death Eater Jewish groups that advocate the Jewishness of the state and play a role in provoking and inflaming the feelings of Paleostinians with open hate speech and incitement to violence against them," according to the report.
The report also referred to the increasing international recognition of the state of affairs in the occupied territories, which invites parallels to other historical cases of apartheid.
"In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in condemnation (within the international political discourse) of the apartheid regime, which was associated with the settlement regime in South Africa and ended in 1994... As a result of the control tools used by Israel in the occupied territories of 1967, there has been a political and geographical reality based on ethnic and hierarchical segregation in parallel with the ongoing Judaisation," the report stated.
The report mentioned the corrosive long-term harm of such a project, saying "The government does not care about the dangerous political and moral effects of the settlements project, nor the systematic violations of human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. of the Paleostinians who have been under Israeli military rule for fifty years."
Moreover, the Israeli leadership is not interested in the presence of two judicial systems in the occupied territories, one for the Paleostinians and the other for Israelis. This trend has led to a flood of bills proposing direct or indirect annexation, culminating in the enactment of the 2016 settlements law.
The report concluded Israel cannot be considered a democratic country as it is enshrining racial segregation and discrimination in law. Instead, the government is consolidating a racist colonial legacy through ethnic cleansing and the deliberate denial of the rights of indigenous peoples on their historical land, including their their historical right to their land and property.

completely ignores Palestinian anti-Israel/Jew hate speech that’s been consistently official
Whataboutism is a propaganda technique first used by the Soviet Union, in its dealings with the Western world.[1] When Cold War criticisms were levelled at the Soviet Union, the response would be "What about..." followed by the naming of an event in the Western world.[2][3] It represents a case of tu quoque (appeal to hypocrisy),[4] a logical fallacy that attempts to discredit the opponent's position by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently in accordance with that position, without directly refuting or disproving the opponent's initial argument.

The report also stated that the expansionist settlement policy has resulted in the Paleostinians being subjected to discriminatory apartheid laws favouring Jewish settlers.
The UN came to the same conclusion.
The report concluded Israel cannot be considered a democratic country as it is enshrining racial segregation and discrimination in law.
Oh, it's democratic all right. The US used to have similar laws and we were a democracy. But we fought a civil war to get rid of them. What path will Israel take to get rid of its ugly racial laws?
[BenarNews] The Philippine government has officially branded five suspected Moslemgunnies and six suspected members of the outlawed communist party as "terrorists," saying the move will allow authorities to freeze financial assets that could be used for funding attacks.
Among official resolutions made public on Wednesday and Thursday, the government’s Anti-Terrorism Council said it had added the names of five Abu Sayyaf ...also known as al-Harakat al-Islamiyya, an Islamist terror group based in Jolo, Basilan and Zamboanga. Since its inception in the early 1990s, the group has carried out bombings, kidnappings, murders, head choppings, and extortion in their uniquely Islamic attempt to set up an independent Moslem province in the Philippines. Abu Sayyaf forces probably number less than 300 cadres. The group is closely allied with remnants of Indonesia's Jemaah Islamiya and has loose ties with MILF and MNLF who sometimes provide cannon fodder... Group gunnies to its list of designated terrorists.

The Global Coalition forces declared on Thursday the identity of the leader of ISIS, who was arrested in an airdrop operation, at dawn today, in the countryside of the city of Jarablus, which is controlled by The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... and its affiliated opposition SNA factions.
Coalition forces identified the senior ISIS leader detained during a June 16 counterterrorism operation in Aleppo, Syria, as Hani Ahmed al-Kurdi.
Al-Kurdi was also known as an "experienced bomb maker and operational controller" for Isis in Syria, according to the US-led coalition against the terror group.
Hani Ahmed al-Kurdi, known as Salim, was responsible for coordinating terrorist activities across the region. He was instructing others on making bombs, supporting the construction of improvised bomb facilities, and facilitating attacks on U.S. and partner forces.
The successful mission avoided any harm to civilians or civilian infrastructure and resulted in no damage to Coalition aircraft or assets.
Coalition forces will continue to work with our partners, the Syrian Democratic Forces and the Iraqi Security Forces, including the Peshmerga, to hunt the remnants of ISIS wherever they hide to ensure their enduring defeat, the statement said.
