[Right Scoop] A few days ago on the subway in NYC, a "transgender lady" (dude with a ’tude) attacked an old man who was singing gospel songs and reading his bible to people on the Subway. The "transgender lady" reportedly took off his stiletto and hit the man in the head, which is on video.
Here’s how a witness to the attack described it:
What a world we live in that some people see preaching the word of God as a threat to their lives..
This old man right here was just singing some gospel songs and sharing the word of God to people on the train, he didn’t say anything to hurt anyone, he wasn’t even loud, you could barely hear him talk but this is what he got in return from a transgendered Lady. Who hit him on the head with her heels,threw his Bible away and no one didn’t do anything to help but to look at this old man bleed. It’s just so annoying because this old man was far away from Her.........I was just so mad and I felt I needed to do something to help him because he was bleeding too much.
He’s just an old man....... he doesn’t deserve this ...Justice is needed. Please tag the right people who needs to see this ....this old man needs justice because the lady got away.
Fox 5 New York reports that the man was taken to the hospital and his wound took 30 stiches:

I would pity the fucks standing by idly, if I ever thought they deserved it. I'd rather go to jail for life after beating her to death in front of all those witnesses. I'd consider myself 'well spent'.
If you were doing the Lord’s work, he will understand the brief necessity as long as you truly repent of it. We Jews have a prayer on our holiest of days precisely for that need, asking God for forgiveness. The Torah is not meant to be a suicide pact.
Jesus predicted that Peter would do it three times before the cock crowed and, sure enough, the cock crowd right after Peter did it the third time. That's how he lived to tell the story. Well, if you know those people will kill you before you can convert them, you have to use your head and live to convert another day.

I actually did share with an Afghan family once. They were very interested in the bible, but there was just no time to interact. I hope Gawd did something with them. I'm just not a very exemplary fellow to be a preaching anything.

That Augustine guy was keenly aware of where he fell short of perfection — at great length. ;-)
Dron66046, the Jewish rabbis concluded that the rules had to be relaxed a little during the revolt of the Maccabees (about 165 BC). The religious among the Judean soldiers would not fight on the Sabbath, because that is work and therefore forbidden – and the Syrians realized this and started attacking the encampments on the Sabbath, slaughtering all within. That was when the rabbis realized that there are things that can be forgiven if done for the saving of a life, when times are perilous — it sounds like that is what you were dealing with. You did not deny Christ with your heart, I’m sure, but only with your tongue.

Shame on the New Yorkers riding that car. Shame on any man in that scene. If you can't fight a crazy bitch for an innocent citizen, you deserve to be sifted.
In 2010, 5,138 children were admitted to US ERs for sexual abuse
By 2016, that number surged to 8,818, but the proportion of ER admissions was twice as high that year as in 2010
The St Louis University study authors suggest that the rise has been driven by better awareness of childhood sexual abuse coupled with human trafficking
Experts have called trafficking of children the fastest growing form of organized crime in the US
[Guns America - Hunt 365] Dust mingled with the scent of distant rain in my nostrils, rousing a subconscious sense of excitement known only to those who dwell in the desert. Africa was thirsty, waiting for the rain like an alcoholic waits for his next drink. Kudu moved ahead of us through the thorn veldt like so many wraiths, an old bull’s long spiraling horns visible one moment, gone the next. Fingering the sun-heated Winchester ’95 in my hands, I glanced at my PH. Crouched and motionless, he waited. Towering black clouds covered the face of the sun as thunder rumbled in the distance. The bull stepped toward an opening in the bush, and the PH moved forward, cross-sticks in hand.

In a bizarre incident in Uttar Pradesh's Jaunpur district, an egg challenge cost a man dear as he had to pay with his life, police said on Monday.
The deceased was identified as Subhash Yadav, 42.
Police said that Yadav had accompanied his friend to the Bibiganj market area to eat eggs but suddenly an argument broke out between the two and they decided on a challenge of Rs 2,000 for eating 50 eggs.
Subhash accepted the bet and began eating eggs. He ate 41 eggs and just when he started eating the 42nd, he collapsed and fell unconscious.
The local people rushed him to the district hospital from where he was referred to the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences. He died hours later.
While the doctors claimed that Subhash died due to over-eating, the family members refused to comment on the incident, police added.

IIUC This guy blames--surprise, surprise--housing sprawl, the whipping-boy of every right-thinking enviro-fanatic. These fools have contributed to the affordable housing crisis by PREVENTING housing from being built in the near suburbs with stifling environmental rules and restrictions.
The solution is more suburban housing of the sort that every family in California wants: with a yard and access to fast highway transportation. Not the green fantasy of more dense housing.
Another factor in the apparently improved Egyptian economy.
[AlAhram] The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) announced on Monday that remittances from Egyptians expatriates have increased by 5.5 percent ($227.1 million) in July and August 2019, recording $4.4 billion, up from $4.2 billion in the same period in 2018.
The CBE previously announced that remittances from Egyptians expatriates had increased by 15 percent in May 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, recording $3 billion up from $2.6 billion in May 2018.
Egypt’s remittances notably jumped after about a year since the flotation of the Egyptian pound, which was implemented in November 2016, rising by 18.4 percent, recording $26.4 billion.
[Guardian] Authorities in Kyoto have banned photography in parts of the city’s main geisha neighbourhood, amid a flurry of complaints about harassment and bad behaviour by foreign tourists in the quest for the perfect selfie.
The ban, introduced recently on private roads in the city’s Gion district, includes a fine of up to 10,000 yen (£70), as Kyoto and other sightseeing spots in Japan grapple with the downside of a boom in visitors that is expected to last long after next summer’s Tokyo Olympics.
"Tourism pollution" is a growing problem in Kyoto, where tourists flock to ancient shrines and temples and, in Gion, catch sight of the female entertainers ‐ known locally as geiko ‐ and maiko apprentices dressed in elaborate kimono on their way to evening appointments.
In response to complaints by residents and businesses, the local ward has put up signs near narrow streets leading off Hanamikoji, a public main road, warning visitors not to take snapshots.
[DAWN] Three people were at death's door in Hong Kong on Monday, authorities said, after a weekend of chaotic festivities with anti-government protesters that led China to call for a tougher stance to end months of unrest in the Asian financial hub.
The injuries were the result of yet another weekend of violence in the former British colony. Riot police stormed several shopping malls packed with families and children including Cityplaza in the eastern suburb of Taikoo Shing on Sunday.
Protesters there had initially formed a human chain before facing off with police in skirmishes up and down escalators and spraying graffiti on a restaurant.
A man with a knife slashed several people and bit off part of a politician's ear. The maimed included a man believed to be the knife-wielder, whom protesters had beaten with sticks.
The city's Hospital Authority said three people were at death's door, with two others at death's door, among a total of 30 injuries from Sunday.
A student at Shue Yan University was hit by a tear gas canister and suffered a severe burn in a separate incident at the weekend, the university's student union said in a statement.
While the Chinese-controlled city and its many businesses function normally during the week, many protests have sprung up spontaneously at weekends over the past five months.
[Breitbart] An Australian woman with 200 tattoos said she went blind for three weeks after having her eyeballs inked.
Amber Luke, 24, who refers to herself as Blue Eyes White Dragon, said the procedure was extremely painful. "He turned me into a Newt! ...I got better"
"I can’t even begin to describe to you what the feeling was like. The best thing I can give you is once the eyeball was penetrated with the ink, it felt like [the tattoo artist] grabbed ten shards of glass and rubbed it in my eye," she recalled.
Luke said the artist shoved the needle too deep into her sclera, the white outer layer of the eyeball, causing her to go blind.
"That was pretty brutal," she said.
However, the young woman has no regrets about her decision to have her eyes colored or any of the other tattoos that cover her body.
Luke began to modify herself when she was 16 and has since spent more than $37,000 on procedures that include breast augmentation, lip fillers, and having her earlobes stretched and her tongue split. She also got ear implants to make them look pointed and had silver fang grills made for her teeth.
[AlAhram] The size of the informal economy, according to its share of the GDP, has fallen gradually across all regions globally from 1991 to 2017, according to a recent chart published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Less room for jihadis and other criminals to operate?
The chart shows that the regions with the highest share of informal economic activities, which is economic activity practiced outside legal frames and is not subjected to a country's tax system, from 2010 to 2017 are sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, both at 34 percent of GDP.
"The informal economy is generally associated with low productivity, poverty, high unemployment, and slower economic growth. It is also more prevalent in low-income countries because as countries develop, the easier it is for workers to transition to the formal sector. At the same time, it provides employment and income to people who would otherwise not find employment, or it supplements their income from employment in the formal, regulated sector," according to the chart's analysis.
"People and companies engaged in the informal economy usually operate on a small scale. This means there are no official statistics on the informal or shadow economy, as it’s sometimes called, so economists need to estimate its size. Some common techniques include surveys or indirect indicators such as the demand for currency."
The IMF said that this situation poses a challenge to policymakers regarding creating an environment where the formal sector can thrive while creating opportunities for people working in the informal sector to maintain or improve their living standards through reducing the costs of doing business, tackling corruption, and improving access to finance and services.
[Hot Air] Could it be true? Are the barons of Wall Street closing their fat cat wallets for Democrats in protest of the rise of Elizabeth Warren in the polls? That’s supposedly the case according to CNBC, and they’ve delivered a message to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Back off from Warren or find someone else to fund the rest of your Senate races.
Some finance executives have recently told Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer that they are, for the moment, holding back from donating to Democrats running for Senate in 2020 due to their concerns with Warren becoming a frontrunner in the race for the party’s presidential nomination, according to people familiar with the conversations. These people spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the private nature of the talks.
The move is intended to put pressure on party leadership and Schumer, who represents New York and has received millions of dollars in donations from Wall Street, to distance themselves from Warren’s economic populism.
On the one hand, this puts pressure on Schumer (assuming this anonymously sourced report is valid) because he’s supposed to be helping to find funding for Democratic Senate candidates in battleground states. And while most Democrats love to talk about how evil the rich bankers are, pretty much all of them are happy to quietly take their money. (And presumably, remember those favors when it comes time to vote on regulations.)

If it encourages our petty bureaucrats and Deep State to allow US corporations like SpaceX and Blue Origin to move into space and exploit it this move of China's might actually be good.
Why? The default behavior of the D.C. critters has been to make the exploitation of Space IMPOSSIBLE for the private sector. This competition from China could emasculate those critters in the space sector.
[SPUTNIKNEWS] The former ruler of Malaysia insists his ex-wife wants to use their failed marriage to gain fame and celebrity status and is publicly blasting her for making their marriage public without his consent. The former king denies that he abdicated the throne because of the marriage scandal.
Sultan Muhammad V of Kelantan, the head of Malaysia’s Kelantan sultanate and former King (Yang di-Pertuan Agong) of Malaysia rebuked claims made by his former wife, Russian-born Oksana Voevodina, whom he married and later parted with last year, that he fathered her son, The Daily Mail reported Monday.
In a harsh statement delivered by a palace source who spoke to The Daily Mail, the sultan said photos of Voevodina’s 5-month old son do not prove that he is the father of the baby and the infant could be "the son of any Asian man."
The Sultan "does not feel (the baby) looks like him," a palace source told the Mail, adding that the sultan says her claims that the baby was planned and that he cried with happiness on discovering she was pregnant are "absolute nonsense."
[Defense News] WASHINGTON ‐ The U.S. Navy is preparing to sign a contract for nine Virginia-class attack submarines, eight of which will include a 84-foot section that boosts the boat’s strike missile capacity, which is down from 11 boats planned for in this year’s budget submission, Defense News has confirmed with sources familiar with the pending contract.
The contract will also include an option for a 10th boat if needed, sources said.
The news, which was first reported by Bloomberg, is the latest jolt to the Virginia-class program that has seen creeping delays and slipping profits in recent years caused by labor issues and a strained submarine industrial supply base. The contract was originally intended to be signed by October of last year, at the start of the 2019 fiscal year, according to Navy budget documents.

The "all big ship Navy", the ongoing LCS boondoggle and the F-35 mess are all combining into a perfect storm. But a first "fix" might be to go to the Pentagon and start cutting the number of Admirals that never go to see and their bloated staffs... (Then we can start trimming the Army, Air Force, Marines, DoD civilians, and...)

Recall an old SciFi short story (from 1950's?) about a war where one side had massive numerical and tech advantages.... but they kept waiting for R&D to provide "wunderwaffen" and lost the advantage. Once R&D actually came through, the new toys all had fatal flaws. Story ends with their defeat and the head general contemplating murdering his cellmate, the head R&D wonk.
