SAN DIEGO (AP) ‐ The U.S. National Guard faces a vastly different environment than it did on its last two deployments to the border with Mexico, with far fewer illegal crossings and more Central Americans than Mexicans coming.
Still, its role is shaping up much the same: moving more Border Patrol agents from behind-the-scenes jobs to the front lines.
President Donald Trump told reporters Thursday that he wants to send between 2,000 and 4,000 National Guard members to the U.S.-Mexico border to help federal officials fight illegal immigration and drug trafficking. That estimate is lower than the 6,400 Guard members that former President George Bush sent to the border.
From 2006 to 2008, the Guard fixed vehicles, maintained roads, repaired fences and performed ground surveillance. Its second mission in 2010 and 2011 involved more aerial surveillance and intelligence work. People involved in both operations say the Guard was the Border Patrol’s "eyes and ears."
Federal law limits military involvement in civilian law enforcement, creating a supporting role for the Guard. The Trump administration and governors haven’t said precisely what the troops will do, but Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen anticipates vehicle maintenance and aerial surveillance will be in the mix.

And the BP needs the Guard's surveillance tech and mobility. Smart call. It's not going to stop the illegals - and be prepared for the Usual Suspects to start proclaiming this a complete failure within hours - but it'll make a difference.

How is this "vastly different"? Are Hondurans smaller so you don't have to lead them as much? Journalists, bah!
[Wash Times] A Virginia man threatened to kill a Republican congressman while saying he was trying to defend special counsel Bob Mueller’s probe into the Trump administration, prosecutors said Friday in announcing federal charges against the man.
Christopher Michael McGowan was afraid that Mr. Mueller’s probe might be derailed and took exception to a local congressman, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, who had raised questions last year about the fairness of the special counsel investigation.
In a series of Twitter messages dating back to December Mr. McGowan said he was defending Mr. Mueller, and repeatedly vowed to obtain a gun to kill Mr. Goodlatte.
After some December messages local police visited him and he said didn’t actually intend to hurt the congressman. But in April he renewed the threats: "You keep [expletive] with our constitution and challenging Mueller and the last you see will be my patriot ass behind a gun you should have long ago prevented me owning pulling a trigger to your head (sic.)," Mr. McGowan wrote in an April 1 message.
Minutes later he posted another message bragging about the threat, acknowledging he had publicly threatened a sitting congressman and predicted he would not be punished. "You better get on those gun laws. I am buying one intended for you in 3 days. Can you legally stop me?" he then posted.

"I thought consequences were only for the dirt people!"
[Breitbart] The Mexican Senate passed a resolution seeking an end to bilateral cooperation with the U.S. against drug cartels and immigration problems after President Trump ordered National Guard troops to the border.
The resolution was passed in a unanimous fashion and sent to the White House, Members of the U.S. Congress, and Mexico’s Foreign Relations Officer, El Universal reported.
"Despite everything that is at stake in the relationship between our two countries, the way in which President Donald Trump has behaved is, for the Mexican people, unacceptable and intolerable," El Universal quoted from the document.
The resolution demands that President Trump respect the people of Mexico, and notes the Senate "condemns the unfounded and offensive expressions about Mexico and Mexicans and the treatment that is needed for a relationship between neighboring countries, partners, and allies."
Other portions of the resolution reject efforts to "militarize the border with Mexico" and considered the measure offensive. In the third portion of the resolution, the Senate calls for Mexico to stop any binational cooperation with the U.S. in dealing with immigration matters and fighting transnational organized crime (cartels) until Trump "acts with civility and respect."

American troops along the border has the potential for disrupting the flow of illegal narcotics and people smuggling which would likely impact their bottom line. There is certainly no threat of an invasion.

THIS, though I would add to that if we close the border, that means no flights to or from Mexico, US flag ships will not be permitted to call there, and money transfers stop.

Parasitic Mexico playing every card we dealt them. Stop playing and watch them morph into screaming and pleading tantrums about racism. Not our friends....

When we got around to making the Apache feel unwelcome on their visits from Mexico in the late 19th Century, they decided to carry out their tourism locally which finally got the response from Mexico City that the Americans had clamored for decades. I suspect the cartel will look local to expand even further their power and influence if and when the border is closed down.
[Guardian] The Trump administration announced new sanctions on seven Russian oligarchs and 17 top government officials on Friday, in a move that targets Vladimir Putin’s inner circle for "malign activity" including meddling in the 2016 US election and other aggressions.
The new economic sanctions represent the most forceful action yet taken by the Trump administration against Putin’s circle.
"The Russian government operates for the disproportionate benefit of oligarchs and government elites," said the treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin. "Russian oligarchs and elites who profit from this corrupt system will no longer be insulated from the consequences of their government’s destabilizing activities."
Mnuchin cited Russian aggression in Crimea and Moscow’s support of the regime of Bashar al-Assad in the bloody civil war in Syria as well as "attempting to subvert western democracies, and malicious cyber activities" as reasons for the sanctions.
Among the targeted Russians are Kirill Shamalov, who has grown massively wealthy since marrying Putin’s daughter in 2013.
“Senior Pentagon Russia Analyst LTC David Jewberg”
What an ...evocative name, to be sure.
maintained a popular Facebook page and was frequently quoted in Ukrainian and Russian media as a Pentagon insider related to topics concerning Ukraine and Russia. He represented himself as an actual person with the legal name “David Jewberg,” not as a persona or pseudonym.
A number of well-known Russian opposition figures frequently cited David Jewberg as a respected analyst and real-life contact.
David Jewberg is actually an imagined persona connected to a group of individuals inside the U.S. revolving around well-connected American financier Dan K. Rapoport, who was named as the person who wrote under this persona by well-known Russia expert David Satter and other sources in Washington who spoke to Bellingcat. A number of personal friends and professional connections connected to Rapoport helped to prop up this fake persona; for example, photographs from Rapoport’s college friend were used to represent Jewberg and a number of Washington-area friends of Rapoport wrote about Jewberg as if he were a real person.
Dan K. Rapoport is the former owner of the house rented to Ivanka Trump in January 2017. He worked as a financial executive in Russia in the 2000’s, after which he reportedly became active in supporting Russian opposition figures. He moved to Kyiv in late 2016 and most recent reports indicate that he works as a financial executive in Ukraine.
Per legal experts consulted during this investigation, the person(s) who maintained the “David Jewberg” persona created false identification documents, impersonating a federal official with a Pentagon identification card.
The U.S. Department of Defense and State Department have disavowed the existence of David Jewberg, stating that they have never employed a person by this name.
Rapoport has repeatedly denied being the author behind David Jewberg and not acknowledged that “Jewberg” is an imagined persona.
SECTION ONE: Who is David Jewberg?
More interesting Who is Dan K. Rapoport? Wikipedia on him is a wild tale. Russia, Ukraine, Oil, Stocks, SEC, Romney Advisor and on and on.
Career in the United States
In June 2012, Rapoport returned to the US. It was reported that he left Russia in large part due to his support for Russia's democratic opposition, particularly his support for Alexei Navalny, an outspoken yet tacitly tolerated campaigner against Russian corporate and government corruption and the most vocal critic of Putin's regime. It was also reported that as a consequence of his support for opposition figures the Russian authorities concluded that Rapoport posed a threat to the Putin regime. However, he keeps some investment interests in Russia, making these reports about his conflict with Kremlin dubious.
Until 2016, Rapoport resided in Washington, DC, and managed Rapoport Capital LLP. In October 2016, he relocated to Kiev, Ukraine, after Rapoport Capital received a mandate from a US private equity group to invest more than $100 million in Ukraine.
Rapoport is currently a partner in the Moscow bar/restaurant/club, Soho Rooms, and Rush Pictures Production (formerly RAMCO, which co-produced Captivity (2007), and You and I (2011). He is also a Board Member of Share Care, (Благотворительный Фонд Поделись Теплом),a Moscow-based charity that provides assistance to orphans and sick children, and a 32nd Degree Freemason.
Political activity
During the 2012 US Presidential election, Rapoport advised the Mitt Romney for President Campaign on Russia-related issues. Rapoport's views were best voiced by Romney during the October 22, 2012, televised debate with Barack Obama: "I’m not going to wear rose-colored glasses when it comes to Russia or Mr. Putin."
In 2015 - 2016, he served as a foreign policy adviser to the Jeb Bush 2016 Presidential Campaign.
In January 2017, the New York Times reported that Rapoport recently sold his Washington, DC home, which will further serve as the residence of Ivanka Trump and family.
Ivanka should have the Secret Service and the DIA sweep that home before living in it.

[BBC] A Canadian fertility doctor is being sued by dozens of people who claim he used his own or unknown sperm to impregnate their mothers.
In November Dr Norman Barwin was sued after a DNA test said he was the father a former patient's daughter. If not for Dr. Norm, where the fok would they all be ?
At least 11 others now claim he is their biological father, lawyers say.
The group filed a class-action lawsuit with about 50 offspring of former patients whose DNA does not match their intended biological father.
The claims go as far back as the 1970s, and include patients from at least two fertility clinics in Ottawa, Ontario - Broadview Fertility Clinic and Ottawa General Hospital.
Dr Barwin's lawyer Karen Hamway declined to comment on the recent allegations.
Lawyers Peter Cronyn and Frances Shapiro Munn say they have found 11 people whose parents went to Dr Barwin for fertility treatment who are allegedly his biological children, according to DNA tests. In some cases, they were supposed to be conceived with an anonymous donor, in others with their mother's spouse.
PROVO, Utah (AP) ‐ A Utah man has died after his shirt caught on fire during family barbecue on Easter.
The Daily Herald reports 73-year-old Larry Webster died Wednesday after he was severely burned outside his home in Spanish Fork on Sunday.
Family members say his polyester shirt caught on fire as he lit the grill. The family rushed to his side and helped put out the flames.
His granddaughter Mandee Webster says he was on fire for less than two minutes. Larry Webster was flown to the burn center at the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City.
The family says he had burns on 48 percent of his body with second-degree burns on his face.

Been grilling on Webers longer than Mr. Rabbit and my money is on AH9418 for the win (or loss).
The fire ain't going good enough so give that full can of lighter fluid a real hard squeeze. Bet you can get the flame to come right up the stream to the can in your hands.
Actually happened to my cousin's husband that way. While it didn't kill him it wasn't pretty. Add in the polyester shirt................

Never wear polyester shirts. Never wear polyester period. Grill with Weber all the time, gas and charcoal. With charcoal I found that using wood shavings for tinder works even better than lighter fluid.

Keep in mind these are the same assholes eating Tide Pods and snorting condoms.
[Pittsburgh.CBSlocal] A new survey has found that a third of young millennials in the U.S. aren't convinced the Earth is actually round. The national poll reveals that 18 to 24-year-olds are the largest group in the country who refuse to accept the scientific facts of the world's shape.
YouGov, a British market research firm, polled 8,215 adults in the United States to find out if they ever believed in the "flat Earth" movement. Only 66 percent of young millennials answered that they "always believe the world is round." Science teachers across the U.S. will be shaking their heads after learning that nine percent of young adults answered that they have "always believed" the planet was flat. Actually the Earth is pear shaped. Seriously. By a few miles.
Another nine percent said of young adults said they thought the planet was spherical but had doubts about it. In a disturbing display of indecision, 16 percent of millennials said they weren't sure what the shape of the planet was.
Overall, only two percent of the respondents said they always thought the Earth was flat without any doubt. YouGov found that age was directly connected to Americans' views on the shape of the world. Seventy-six percent of adults age 25-34 say they've always believed the Earth is round, compared to 82 percent of ages 35-44, 85 percent of ages 45-54, and 94 percent of adults 55 and over.
Income seemed to play a role in people's beliefs as well. Ninety-two percent of adults making over $80,000 believed the Earth is round, compared to only 79 percent of adults making under $40,000. Says a lot about public education. Like it is the biggest waste of taxpayer money.

The meter was defined by the 1790 National Assembly as one ten-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator. So forty million meters (or 40,000 kilometers) would be the circumference of the earth. That’s 24,854.84769 miles for those of you that like to think in miles. Pretty close to today's measurements.

[ZH] A small Norwegian town just inside the Arctic circle and which lies close to the Russian border was jolted awake shortly before midnight on Wednesday as its Civil Defense warning system was triggered and sirens blared, causing locals to believe they were under threat of Russian invasion.
Vadso Norway is a town of only 5,000 but is positioned close enough to its neighbor that locals can see Russia on a clear day. There has long been a Norwegian military intelligence base in Vadso, which monitors the nearby Russian Murmansk naval base across the border to the East, long serving as an observation post for Severomorsk - the main administrative base of the Russian Northern Fleet, out of which at the height of the Cold War over 200 submarines operated.
Which consists of a box that says, "In case of emergency, break glass and call America."
I liked "Occupied" too. One of the premises is that the Norwegian PM calls the US and politely gets told to stuff it. What a ridiculous notion... or not.

SASEBO/TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) - Japan on Saturday activated its first marine unit since World War Two trained to counter invaders occupying Japanese islands along the edge of the East China Sea that Tokyo fears are vulnerable to attack by China.
The activation of the 2,100 strong ARDB takes Japan a step closer to creating a force similar to a U.S. Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) able to plan and execute operations at sea far from its home base.
"They've already demonstrated the ability to put together an ad hoc MEU. But to have a solid, standing MEU capability requires concerted effort," Grant Newsham, a research fellow at the Japan Forum for Strategic Studies.
"If Japan put its mind to it, within a year or year and a half it could have a reasonable capability."
[DAWN] South Korea's presidential palace was Park Geun-hye's home for more than two decades: once when her father was president and later when she herself led the country.
Now, humiliated and vilified, she faces spending the next 24 years of her life in prison after being convicted of corruption ‐ a spectacular fall from grace unimaginable six years ago when she became South Korea's first female president amid great fanfare.
Park, 66, grew up in the spotlight at the Blue House, the presidential compound just north of one of Seoul's royal palaces, and enjoyed a pampered life as the eldest child of strongman Park Chung-hee.
Her father, despite widespread rights abuses and a brutal crackdown on dissent, remains a respected figure for many South Koreans for overseeing the country's dramatic economic rise during his 1961-79 rule.
The Park family was treated like royalty by supporters and she was dubbed the young "princess" ‐ a nickname that endured for decades even as she aged.
The liquidation of both her parents five years apart in the 1970s only further fanned public sympathy for the young protege.
Park's mother ‐ widely praised as a dutiful wife and caring mother in the still-traditional society of the day ‐ was rubbed out in 1974 by a Korean-Japanese aiming for her husband. He is believed to have been acting on orders from North Korea.

[Mail] American Airlines has cancelled a major deal with Airbus for 22 A350s, announcing it has instead purchased 47 787 Dreamliners from rivals Boeing in a deal valued at $12 billion.
The airline said it had also reached an agreement with Airbus to 'terminate its order' in an effort to 'simplify its fleet'.
But the announcement marks the end of a hard-fought contest between the two firms over who was to take on the significant order. The sudden shift is a blow to France-based Airbus - who previously supplied American Airlines with nearly three dozen A350s.
'This was a difficult decision between the Boeing 787 and the Airbus A350 and A330neo and we thank both manufacturers for their aggressive efforts to earn more of American's business,' said American Airlines president Robert Isom.
'In the end, our goal to simplify our fleet made the 787 a more compelling choice.' The order comprises 22 787-8s scheduled to begin arriving in 2020 and 25 787-9s scheduled to begin arriving in 2023.
[CNBC] After a century of ferrying millions of daily commuters and taking countless family road trips, simple passenger cars are disappearing from American life, and they may not come back.
Detroit's Big Three automakers ‐ Chrysler, Ford and General Motors ‐ pioneered the mass production of the car, but in just four years, all three may be known to Americans simply as truck and SUV makers, with only a stray sedan for sale.
The automotive industry in America is making what many observers think is an irrevocable shift toward pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles and crossovers. While carmakers are producing sedans and sports cars that are safer, faster and more comfortable than ever, customers continue to flock to taller vehicles with features cars simply cannot offer.
"Since 2009 or 2010 it has been a truck story," said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at LMC Automotive, which tracks the auto industry. The exception was a slight pullback in 2012, when the midsize car segment underwent a major refresh, he said.
The trend shows no sign of abating, despite cries from car enthusiasts that crossovers lack the driving dynamics of sedans and complaints from environmentalists that SUVs and trucks are typically less fuel-efficient than cars.
By 2022, LMC Automotive estimates 84 percent of the vehicles General Motors sells in the U.S. market will be some kind of truck or SUV. Ford's ratio of domestic SUV and truck sales will hit 90 percent; Fiat Chrysler's will notch a whopping 97 percent.
"We have SUVs eventually crossing the 50 percent threshold by themselves in the near future," Schuster said.
Signs suggest SUVs and crossovers are also taking hold elsewhere in the world.
Automotive executives and industry watchers think there will be only a small space for sedans in the U.S., perhaps consisting mostly of sports cars or niche vehicles favored by enthusiasts.
A few factors that drove this unprecedented shift can be attributed to gas prices, a stronger economy and big improvements in the design of sport utility vehicles, said Karl Brauer, executive publisher at Cox Automotive.

The trend to truck and SUV manufacturing started with LBJ's "chicken tax" in the 60's according to the WSJ. Foreign trucks are subject to a steep tariff or excise tax which makes domestic trucks much more competitive. That's why so few foreign trucks are imported. Just know I love my F-150.

[SUN] SEVERAL people are dead and others injured after a car reportedly ploughed into a crowd of pedestrians in Germany today.
The incident took place in the city of Munster and members of the public have been warned to stay away from "inner city areas" by police.
Police tweeted: "# Kiepenkerl There are dead and injured. Please avoid the area. More information can be found here. We are on site"
It is believed that the crash took place near the statue Kipernkel statue in the old town area of the city.
In terrifying photographs of the scene, crowds could be seen gathered around several injured, while restaurant chairs and tables were left scattered across the ground.
Panicked people can be seen calling for help, with others rush to the aid of the injured.

Three dead and up to 30 injured after van ploughs into crowd in Munster before driver ‘shoots himself’
[Breitbart] President Donald Trump has turned down an invitation to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner for the second consecutive year.
Trump announced the news on Friday morning in an interview with the Bernie and Sid radio show in New York City.
"I sort of feel that the press is so bad, it’s so fake, it’s so made up," Trump said, accusing the media of making up sources for their stories. "I call them novelists, they make up the sources, in some cases there are sources, but then they won’t do it correctly either but in many cases, they literally make up sources."
Trump reminded the hosts that the WHCD dinner was a "massive failure" after he skipped it last year for a political rally but he did not rule out a future appearance.

3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... government deportation of five officials including the country project manager of the foreign company.
The DPO conducted an inquiry and declared the Chinese workers responsible for the law and order situation which led to Wednesday’s untoward incident. He urged the government to declare five of them persona non grata and also proposed that the SPU personnel may also be shifted from Noorpur camp.

[Medical Press] As a scientist at IBM's Almaden Research Laboratory, James Hedrick was well aware of the global problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which can turn a minor scrape into a death sentence.
But the threat turned personal after he had routine knee surgery. Sudden excruciating pain signaled infection, demanding emergency hospitalization. Hedrick was lucky: the medications worked, the infection cleared and he went home eight days later.
Hedrick's close call inspired his research team to design a new molecule, called a polymer, that targets five deadly types of drug-resistant microbes and kills them like ninja assassins. Their research, a collaboration with Singapore's Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, was reported recently in the journal Nature Communications.
If commercialized, the polymer could boost the fight against "superbugs" that can fend off every antibiotic that doctors throw at them. An estimated 700,000 people worldwide die every year from these untreatable infections.
