DEVELOPING: D.C. Court to hear $30 mil Ashli Babbitt wrongful death lawsuit starting Aug. 6, according to Judicial Watch which filed the complaint vs. US government, arguing Babbitt was ambushed and murdered by USCP Lt. Michael Byrd, who has a history of negligence and misconduct
Note that Lt. Byrd was promoted to captain last August. US District Court Judge Jia Cobb (in DC) is accused of being on the far left of the spectrum — she spent six years in DC as a public defender, then nine in private practice litigating civil rights cases before President Biden out her name up for the judgeship in 2021 — so the conclusion is easily drawn.

If you were a counter-sniper and had the perp in your sights and you saw him raise his weapon in the direction of the target - got to think to yourself, why ask 'mother may I'. You think your boss is going to do anything stupid afterwards like say you should have asked first?

A conspiracy theorist would say ‘they never had a USSS sniper team in place until the Butler rally. Prior to Butler they hoped it would just happen naturally (assassin). Time was ticking so they encourage the stooge to climb the roof and the sniper team was to merely close the loop’. The issue was he missed.
[MSN] Congrats to both. Now what about Miss Lindsey?
Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) tied the knot with fiancée Mindy Noce in a ceremony over the weekend in South Carolina.
The pair exchanged vows on Saturday at Seacoast Church in Charleston, nearly eight months after the South Carolina senator proposed to Noce, an interior designer, The Post and Courier reported.
"Tonight, we promised to cherish and nourish each other and our marriage for the rest of our lives. Mindy, you’ve made me the happiest man alive. I love you," Scott wrote Saturday on X.
Posting two photos from the ceremony, Scott shared a Bible verse, Matthew 19:6, that read, "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
Close family and friends, along with former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, and Sens. John Thune (S.D.), James Lankford (Okla.) and John Barrasso (Wyo.) were in attendance for the special day, the Post and Courier reported.
Fox News host and former Rep. Trey Gowdy (S.C.), who co-wrote a book with Scott in 2018, also attended the event, the Post and Courier added.
The couple began dating after meeting via church, Scott said, where they bonded over bible study. During his brief presidential campaign last year, the senator often declined to comment about his personal life until last September, when he revealed he did have a "special someone."
That two-by-four upside our country’s head you’ve been waiting to get whomped with? Looks like it’s landing now. We got a banger in 2008, but it didn’t make an much of an impression. Maybe you don’t even remember these people, but then Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Fed Chair Ben Bernanke came in like a code blue squad and hooked up the banks to an IV-drip speedball of cocaine and heroin, i.e., “money” that didn’t actually exist (a.k.a. “liquidity,” hallucinated capital), and that crew kept it coming for years.
And then Janet Yellen and her posse kept it coming with never-ending zero interest rate policy (ZIRP) until the national debt canceled America’s future. And that left Jerome Powell pretending there was a way out of this doom-loop. Then came the repo market spasm in September 2019 that freaked out the blob so badly they shut down the whole world with Covid and locked-down economies. And everything since then has been a waiting game. The financial world was in hospice.
The wait is over. Everything that can break is breaking: stock markets, bond markets, the galaxy of derivatives — bets on this and that, which will never be honored. Banks are next. Gold and silver are hanging in there for dear life just now, because they’re actually worth something. (And because they are worth something, they‘ll eventually sell off some too, to cover margin calls on other stuff hemorrhaging value. But they will not go to zero like a lot of other stuff, and they’ll come back stronger.)
You understand this can’t play out like it did in 2008-9. The authorities are out of tricks and out of fake money. They can try the emergency interest rate cut, but it won’t change what is actually happening: the epic revaluation of everything humans make and own — with much of it losing value and quite a bit losing all value because it never really had any. The spooky catch is that there will be an attempt, in this wild and terrifying process, for certain devious, unprincipled parties to take possession of many things shaking loose — what remains of collateral. . . real things. . . commodities. . . facilities. . . properties. . . chattels. . . artworks. . . and, of course, whatever securities still have a relationship to realities of production.
This brings a sharp end to the current political sitcom, especially the situation of the Democratic Party. They will get blamed for the economic carnage left behind by the shattered money system. They lied about everything for years, every number, every index, every supposed “policy”.
Kamala Harris won’t be cackling her way out of this.

[YouTube] Project Veritas spent five months undercover in Michigan uncovering shocking allegations of voter fraud within the Muslim communities, including threats of intimidation, bribery, and secret “midnight meetings” where blank absentee ballots are auctioned to the highest bidder.
Note that this is the original Project Veritas team, still doing what they used to do with James O’Keefe, not James’ new OMG group. We now have two competing organizations, together giving us twice as much of the good stuff.
Democrats in Hamtramck, Michigan are having buyer’s remorse now that their once celebrated all-Muslim City Council is wielding power to dismantle their former LGBTQ sanctuary.
Local left-wingers, who enjoyed the Detroit enclave as a stronghold of progressive values and tolerance, are quickly learning that their new Muslim Democrat leaders have different plans for their city, and they aren’t happy.
Project Veritas spent five months in Michigan uncovering shocking allegations of voter fraud within the Muslim communities, including threats of intimidation, bribery, and secret “midnight meetings” where blank absentee ballots are auctioned to the highest bidder.
READ THE FULL REPORT
We caught Democrats on camera explaining the way in which Democrat factions out-fraud one another to gain power.
We spoke to dozens of locals, Democrat officials, and progressive activists who all described how Muslim politicians are using illegal ballot harvesting operations to secure permanent power.
After a decade of successful election fraud investigations leading to arrests and voting law changes, today’s bombshell report may be our biggest SMOKING GUN yet.
You'll hear the recording as Muslim City Council members react to an offer of unmarked absentee ballots – what they said is PROOF voter fraud is real.
DON’T MISS THEIR RESPONSE
Hamtramck is a test case… a cautionary tale to the rest of America of what happens when progressive wokeness goes awry.
Will Michigan’s Chief Law Enforcement Officer Attorney General Dana Nessel take action now that Project Veritas has exposed real evidence of Election Fraud?
[NY Post] Neuralink has successfully implanted in a second patient its device designed to give paralyzed patients the ability to use digital devices by thinking alone, according to the startup’s owner Elon Musk.
Neuralink is in the process of testing its device, which is intended to help people with spinal cord injuries.
The device has allowed the first patient to play video games, browse the internet, post on social media and move a cursor on his laptop.
Musk, in comments made during a podcast released late on Friday that ran more than eight hours, gave few details about the second participant beyond saying the person had a spinal cord injury similar to the first patient, who was paralyzed in a diving accident. Musk said 400 of the implant’s electrodes on the second patient’s brain are working. Neuralink on its website states that its implant uses 1,024 electrodes.
“I don’t want to jinx it but it seems to have gone extremely well with the second implant,” Musk told podcast host Lex Fridman. “There’s a lot of signal, a lot of electrodes. It’s working very well.”

[JustTheNews] The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's federal election subversion case denied a motion to dismiss the case, which Trump's motion described as vindictive "selective prosecution." The denial, issued on Saturday, came in a 16-page order.
The presiding judge, Tanya Chutkan,
… U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Obama appointee. Another of his crowd of Africa-descended immigrants instead of native African-Americans— in her case Papa is Indo-Jamaican and Mama is Afro-Jamaican. Hard working and intelligent, all (even VP Kamala Harris is reasonably intelligent under all the vapid verbal flimflam), but their life experience is very, very far from the American ghetto…
wrote that dismissal was inappropriate because Trump failed to provide "evidence demonstrating a likelihood of vindictiveness," The Hill reported.
Trump "claimed that the charges against him were the result of [President Joe Biden]'s pledge to ensure Trump would not be president again."
Chutkan found "no indication" Biden pressured AG Merrick Garland to engage in "politically motivated action" by prosecuting Trump.
What need for pressure, when the two are completely aligned on the objective?
[JustTheNews] Former Trump Advisor Kellyanne Conway is a registered foreign agent of Ukraine as of Friday, according to National Security Division (NSD) filings.
Conway will receive $50,000 per month to lobby U.S. lawmakers on behalf of Ukraine, The Daily Caller reported.
Conway signed the contract with the Victor Pinchuk Foundation to organize meetings between U.S. political leaders and Ukrainian soldiers and veterans.
From 2017 to 2020, Conway was former President Donald Trump's senior counselor.
Conway's work will "contribute to raising awareness among US decision makers of Ukrainians’ fight for freedom and the Russian illegal war of aggression," according to the NSD filings.
Conway's contract began on July 25 and expires on November 14

She has to. If Trump is going to engage with Ukraine after the election the consultants that are not holding office have to be. This is signal to the American consultants that are representing Ukraine currently, that Trump will not be using them.

BREAKING:
Bangladeshi protesters tearing down the statue of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangladesh as well as father of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina who was just ousted by the protesters
[Breitbart] Brought to you by the Harris-Biden open borders and Chinese precursors and Messican Cartels
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers working at the Lukeville, Arizona, recently made what the agency is calling its largest seizure of fentanyl to date. Officers at the port of entry discovered approximately four million blue fentanyl pills weighing more than 1,000 pounds.
The seizure was one of several large fentanyl busts the agency saw during the month of July as part of two special operations targeting fentanyl smuggling and the cartel bosses that move the deadly drug into the United States.
CBP officials said in a statement this week that the record-breaking seizure occurred on July 1 when officers at the Lukeville Port of Entry encountered a 20-year-old United Citizen from Arizona attempting to enter the country from Mexico. The Arizona man was driving a 2011 pick-up truck towing a sport recreational vehicle on a utility trailer, not uncommon at the port due to its proximity to beach recreational areas in Mexico.
Officers decided to perform a more intensive inspection on the vehicle, trailer, and truck at a secondary inspection area. During that search the officers noticed anomalies throughout the frame of the trailer. A K-9 detection team aided in the search that ultimately led to the discovery of 234 packages containing the four million fentanyl pills hidden in the frame of the trailer.
According to CBP, officers at the same port of entry reported that about 270 pounds of methamphetamine were seized several days later. The second seizure occurred on July 12, when a 45-year-old male Mexican citizen driving a 2007 Ford F-150 pick-up truck
F-150 — drink up!
also towing a utility trailer sought entry into the U.S. An inspection using a non-intrusive x-ray device and a K-9 inspection team led officers to 39 packages of methamphetamine totaling nearly 272 pounds and an additional five pounds of cocaine.
CBP estimates the street value for these two significant seizures is more than $12.6 million.
These two drug seizures were part of two concerted counter-drug operations, Operation Apollo-Arizona and Operation Plaza Spike. According to the agency, Operation Apollo-Arizona is a counter-fentanyl joint operation focusing on intelligence collection. The operation concentrates law enforcement efforts on disrupting drug and chemical supply, collecting and sharing intelligence, and leveraging valuable partnerships.
Operation Plaza Spike targets the plaza bosses and cartels that facilitate the flow of deadly fentanyl and other illicit synthetic drugs. It is designed to disrupt operations in the “plazas,” cartel territories located directly south of the United States that are natural logistical chokepoints within the cartels’ operations.
According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, in 2022 alone, 107,941 Americans died from drug poisonings, with a staggering 70 percent of those deaths caused by fentanyl and synthetic opioids. Fentanyl remains the leading cause of death among Americans aged 18-45.
In a campaign launched by the DEA known as “One Pill Can Kill,” the agency warned the public its testing concluded that one in seven counterfeit pills marketed by Mexican drug cartels was found to contain a deadly dose of fentanyl.

[Breitbart] Russia became more interested in a prisoner swap with the United States after it became clear that Donald Trump could return to the White House, according to the Wall Street Journal, whose reporter, Evan Gerskovich, was freed.
The Journal noted Saturday that “Moscow’s concerns about a potential Trump presidency speeded up the deal.”
It added:
The German negotiation team was led by the deputy chief of the foreign secret service BND Philipp Wolff, a former prosecutor who joined the intelligence agency in 2007.
Wolff’s team saw an opening when their Russian counterparts said they wanted to wrap up the deal before the U.S. election in November. Some officials deduced that the Russians were either concerned about an unpredictable Donald Trump coming again to the presidency, or they feared that [German Chancellor Olaf] Scholz would no longer be willing to help a president who rarely misses an opportunity to criticize Germany.
At the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last month, Trump notably said: “And to the entire world, I tell you this, we want our hostages back — and they better be back before I assume office, or you will be paying a very big price.”
Trump has prided himself on freeing Americans held abroad without being forced into lopsided exchanges such as those the Biden administration has accepted — and which, critics say, provide incentives for more hostage-taking in future.
In 2018, Turkey released Ameican pastor Andrew Brunson after Trump threatened to hit the Turkish economy with tough economic sanctions.
Russia may have preferred to negotiate with the more pliant Biden administration, which had shown its willingness in the past to trade valuable, even dangerous, convicts for Americans held abroad.
The Biden prisoner swap still left many Americans behind in Russian prisons, the Journal noted separately.

I'd totally try that. Used to put lime pickle on Central muffalettas for a while, till I got too disgusted (more theoretically than gustatorially) with meself.
[DM] Venezuela's most violent gang, which has already sparked chaos across the US, has moved its headquarters to the outskirts of a major American city, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Dubbed the 'epitome of evil', the notorious criminal organization Tren de Aragua, or TdA as it is known by federal agents, previously operated out of an infamous South American prison so completely under gang leaders' control that it had its own zoo, swimming pool and nightclub.
But after kingpin Hector Guerrero Flores escaped last year, the mafia moved its command center to Ciudad Juarez in Mexico on the US border - directly across from El Paso, Texas, local officials told DailyMail.com.
El Paso officials, who asked to remain anonymous, now fear gang violence will spill over into Texas' sixth largest city - which is currently ranked among the top ten safest in America by the FBI.
Dozens of gangsters have already been caught trying to sneak into the US, with those who have been successful unleashing a terrifying crime wave across the country from Dallas to New York.
Border Patrol agents are now on high alert and have been warned to check migrants for telltale tattoos that can help identify gang members.
[Task&Purpose] The "clerks and jerks" of Delta Company were surrounded and close to being overrun. As Capt. Paul Bucha, the company commander, dodged the machine gun fire from the trees overhead and constant explosions he began to wonder if his mother would ever learn the name of the unmarked grid coordinates where he was about to die.
But as he considered those dire thoughts, a young, untested replacement soldier, with no combat experience, ran to Bucha’s position through the hail of fire,
"This young kid who’d just joined us," Bucha remembered in an interview. "I mean we were down with fire everywhere, and we were firing what little ammunition we had left because we were trying to conserve it. All hell was raining down on us."
The soldier looked at the captain with, shockingly, a smile: "And he says, ’Sir! We’re kicking the hell out of them, aren’t we!’," Bucha said.
The captain laughed and replied: "Well, I guess we are."
In fact, the battle raged on through the night of March 16, 1968. For hours, Bucha moved between his men, created diversions and feints to confuse the larger enemy force, called in artillery and gunship fire and loaded helicopters with wounded.
Ten of Bucha’s soldiers died, with nearly all emerging wounded. Over 150 North Vietnamese were killed in the battle, a toll nearly twice the number of Bucha’s entire company.
#1
Bucha's actions were incredible; they included destroying single-handedly a bunker situated forty yards to his front. Throughout the directed helicopter support and evacuation of the wounded. The "clerks and jerks" held out through a long evening until day when they were relieved. 150 enemy were counted among the dead.

[PJ] Barack Obama has been a very busy man in recent weeks. Within hours of Joe Biden's disastrous June 27 debate with Donald Trump. the former Democratic president was working the phones looking to engineer a quick Biden exit.
That was not to be. Biden was within three points of Trump in the national polls and felt that Obama, Pelosi, and the whole gaggle of establishment Democrats were running scared. There were still four months to go before election day, and Biden felt he had time to recover.
He was not to be given that time. Biden was dumped from the ticket and unceremoniously kicked to the curb in favor of a vice president with the lowest approval rating in history.
Kamala Harris has since been transformed. She's no longer the bumbling, fumbling punchline to a political joke. She's the savior of the nation, girding her loins to do battle with the Evil One, Donald Trump.
But just because the media is portraying her as a world-beater doesn't mean anything. She's still a disaster area as a candidate. So Barack Obama has decided to step out from behind the curtain and run the Harris campaign.

[TownHall] Wall Street is likely to be a bloodbath today. The first warning signs were on Friday, culminating on Sunday night when all hell broke loose in Asia. The Nikkei had its worst day since 1987, sinking nearly 4,000 points. It suspended trading after sinking nearly eight percent. South Korea’s stock exchange halted all sell orders as a looming wave of brutality is expected to hit Wall Street this morning. We’ll update this post accordingly, but a drubbing on the New York Stock Exchange shouldn’t surprise anyone. Also, don’t look at your 401ks (via CNBC):

NASDAQ futures off 5% as of now and other markets off not much less. That translates into about $4 Trillion loss in market cap.
As for the Federal Reserve, I have some sympathy for them. Biden's fiscal policy was so awful their job was impossible. In retrospect they should have tightened about a year before they did and then should have loosened about 3 months ago. But that is retrospect.

Also FWIW, assuming the wipe out today is not quickly followed by a recovery, it will knock a couple of points off the numbers for the Democratic ticket. This is because the more the voters talk about the economy, the worse it is for the party in power.

[Zero] A prosecutor for the Bronx has been forced to resign after being caught on camera allegedly trying to meet up with a 13 year old boy he met online, the New York Post reported last week.
30 year old William C.C. Kemp-Neal resigned from the Bronx District Attorney's office after Dads Against Predators posted a video of him in a Target parking lot in Mount Vernon.
In the July 8 footage, vigilantes confront Kemp-Neal, identifying him as "Marcus," causing him to flee. According to the Post, Kemp-Neal, a Fordham Law graduate, earned $84,990 as an ADA, focusing on assault, harassment, and child endangerment cases.
"Excuse me everybody, this man right here came to meet a 13-year-old boy," the vigilantes can be heard yelling, while chasing Kemp-Neal.
[ZERO] European countries on the front lines, such as Greece and Italy, have been overwhelmed with migrants over the years due to failed open-border policies facilitated by radical leftist politicians. These unaccountable leaders (elected & unelected) have created the perfect storm of migrant crime and chaos across the continent.
On Saturday evening, Musk weighed in on the unrest, warning: "Civil war is inevitable."

Any real American patriot benefits Israel - as well as the rest of the world.
[Ynet] Two weeks after former U.S. president and current presidential candidate Donald Trump selected J.D. Vance as his running mate on the Republican Party's ticket, an influential evangelical Christian from Vance’s home state of Ohio, said in an interview that if Trump is likened to King Cyrus, Vance is akin to David.
"Vance is a rising star with strength and courage like Trump," said Pastor David Swaggerty, a senior pastor at Charismalife Ministries in Columbus. "His youth, integrity and morals will benefit the country and Israel."
Many of Trump’s evangelical supporters believe that "God has a hand on him," After the failed, by miracle, assassination ...
meaning that, despite his moral flaws, Trump was chosen by God to serve in the White House. According to Swaggerty, choosing Vance as his running mate could also be divinely inspired — at least for Israel.
"If they get elected — and I believe they will — I think you’ll see a quick strengthening of ties between the U.S. and Israel and more support from the top down, which is a good thing," Swaggerty said.
Vance is a 39-year-old lawyer who has been a U.S. senator representing Ohio since 2022. He studied political science and philosophy at Ohio State University and then earned a law degree from Yale Law School.
As Swaggerty eluded, Vance's pro-Israel stance comes from his Christian faith, although he is not evangelical, but Catholic. The London Jewish Chronicle quoted Vance as saying the fact that Jesus "was born and died and resurrected in that narrow little strip of territory on the Mediterranean" feeds his pro-Israeli ideology. "The idea that there is ever going to be an American foreign policy that doesn’t care a lot about that slice of the world is preposterous," Vance said.

Let word wars begin.
The Media Types love elections.
They make $$$$$$$$$ on Ad's, clickbait and political "NEWS" endorsements.
Just in: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has spoken out again about the anti-mass migration protests and riots across multiple UK cities and towns. He promises those involved “directly” or online will live to regret it.
…be treated like the American Jan. 6 suspects. Meanwhile, UK Antifa groups are organizing to join the Muslim and leftist coalition to brawl with the protesters. The sad thing is that Labour’s honest perfidy is better than the Tories doing exactly the same while spouting conservative pieties:
The UK’s Labour Government confirms that Jewish synagogues and Christian churches will not receive any emergency security support during the riots.
However, the British Home Secretary has announced that emergency security will be provided for all mosques in the UK.
About 90 people have been arrested after skirmishes broke out in numerous English cities, including Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol, Blackpool and Hull, as well as Belfast in Northern Ireland.
The skirmishes marked the fourth day of unrest in several towns and cities following Monday’s frenzied knife attack in Southport, near Liverpool on England’s northwest coast.
Police have blamed the violence on supporters and associated organizations of the English Defence League, an anti-Islam organization founded 15 years ago whose supporters have been linked to soccer hooliganism.

The Aussies, Canadians, and Britons gave up their arms.
[HodhodYemenNews] The Yemeni armed forces announced that they successfully downed a US MQ-9 Reaper drone over Saada Governorate and struck a ship in the Gulf of Aden, in support of the Paleostinian people’s plight and in response to the American-British aggression against 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... "The Air Defense Forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces were able to shoot down an American drone type MQ9 while it was carrying out hostile acts in the airspace of Saada Governorate, with a locally made surface-to-air missile," Yemen’s military front man brigadier general Yahya Sare’e said in a statement on Sunday.
This aircraft is the seventh of its kind that was shot down during the Battle of the Promised Conquest and the Holy Jihad in support of Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... , Yahya Sare’e explained.
He added, " Within the fourth stage of escalation related to the area of maritime operations, the naval forces and the missile forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a joint military operation in which they targeted the "Groton" ship in the Gulf of Aden with a number of ballistic missiles, and the hit was accurate, thanks to Allah."
He noted the ship was targeted because the company that owns it violated the decision to ban entry to the ports of occupied Paleostine.
Saturday’s attack happened some 225 kilometers (140 miles) southeast of Aden in a stretch of the Gulf of Aden that has seen numerous Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... attacks previously.
A security official on the vessel said a missile struck the vessel, but "no fires, water ingress or oil leaks have been observed," according to a statement from the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center, a clearinghouse for information on attacks in the Mideast. The UKMTO did not immediately identify the vessel hit.

...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat Frational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start... . The Groton’s Greek managers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Houthis did not immediately claim the attack Saturday. However,
facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable... it can take the rebels hours or even days before they acknowledge an assault.
The killing of Haniyeh in Tehran has sparked concerns of a new escalation in the Israel-Hamas ..always the voice of sweet reason... war. Already, the US military says it will move a fighter jet squadron to the Middle East and keep an aircraft carrier in the region.
The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group will enter the Middle East to replace the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group, which is in the Gulf of Oman. Other ships are in the Mediterranean Sea with a Marine detachment if regional evacuations become necessary.
Meanwhile Saturday, the US military’s Central Command said its forces destroyed a Houthi missile and launcher in Yemen.
[Rudaw] Approximately 22,000 Iraqi nationals are left in the notorious al-Hol camp in northeast Syria (Rojava), which holds many individuals with suspected links to the 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.... (ISIS), an Iraqi official told Rudaw on Sunday.
To be fair, some hundeds or a few thousand of them are Yazidis and others captured and taken as slaves by ISIS during their heyday, who never escaped.
Ali Abbas, spokesperson for the Iraqi Ministry of Migration and Displaced, said that Iraq has repatriated over 10,000 nationals from the camp.
Iraqis and Syrians make up the majority of the 40,000 ISIS-linked people who have been held at al-Hol camp in Rojava’s Hasaka province since the military defeat of the terror group in 2019. The camp has been branded as a humanitarian disaster and a breeding ground for terrorism by security experts.
Last month, Iraq repatriated 150 families from the camp.
Abbas told Rudaw in July that the largest number of families repatriated in one batch this year was 190, adding that there are currently over 900 families residing in al-Jada rehabilitation camp in Iraq’s northern Nineveh province. While in al-Jada, the repatriated individuals are prepared for reintegration into their communities and then returned to their places of origin.
Iraqi National Security Advisor Qasim al-Araji said in March that around 20,000 Iraqis below the age of 18 remain at al-Hol.
In June, the Iraqi migration ministry revealed that Iraq and the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... reached an agreement to repatriate all Iraqi nationals from the camp by 2027.
The repatriation of ISIS-linked citizens has sparked opposition in Iraq, with tribes unwilling to accept and welcome people associated with the group that committed heinous human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... abuses and war crimes from 2014 to 2017, when they controlled vast swathes of the country.

[Regnum] Evgeny Serebryakov, accused of blowing up a serviceman's car in Moscow, traveled to Poland on behalf of the Catholic Church when relations with the West had already become tense, his brother Alexey Serebryakov said.
Earlier, a parishioner of the Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary told the publication that she recognized the bomber. She said that Yevgeny Serebryakov was an altar server (Catholic title for an altar boy. — Ed.) of the Greek Catholic parish.
According to the brother of the accused, Evgeny Serebryakov himself told him that he came to Poland thanks to this parish.
"He went there already at a time when our relations with Western countries had become strained. True, I don't remember the exact year. I think that his entire circle of friends was in this parish. He even lived in a house next to the church," Lenta.ru quotes Alexey Serebryakov as saying.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on July 24, a passenger car exploded in one of the residential courtyards of Moscow. The driver's feet were torn off, and the woman sitting next to him received lacerations to her face. The explosion blew out the windows in the house, and five more cars were damaged.
The suspect, 29-year-old Yevgeny Serebryakov, was detained in Turkey, where he arrived by plane. The operation to detain him involved Turkish intelligence, Europol, the counter-terrorism department, and the regional police department. On the night of July 26, Serebryakov was transported from Turkey to Moscow.
During interrogation, he admitted that he had acted on instructions from the SBU, and after the terrorist attack, he was going to flee to Ukraine and obtain Ukrainian citizenship. Serebryakov was charged with attempted murder and illegal trafficking of explosive devices.

Pundits believe that the two frontrunners are Mashaal, a founding member of Hamas’s politburo who helmed the terror group between 2004 and 2017, and Khalil al-Hayya, a powerful figure within Hamas who was close to the slain leader.
[IsraelTimes] Finance minister says freezing funds is part of Israel’s battles against terrorism, will divert cash to families of terror victims instead
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich ordered the seizure on Sunday of around NIS 100 million ($26 million) of tax funds meant to be transferred to the Paleostinian Authority, saying that the money would instead be given to the families of terror victims.
The move was aimed at punishing the PA for the payments it has made to families of Paleostinian terrorists, Smotrich wrote in a post on X.
"The struggle against terror is not just a military struggle, but also a fight that includes a war against the wild incitement of the Paleostinian Authority and the terrorist funds which it directs from its budget to the families of terrorists," the head of the ultranationalist Religious Zionism party wrote.
"We will continue to protect the safety of Israel’s citizens and fight with all the tools available to us against terrorism and its supporters."

The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... terror group, Israel has withheld funds from the PA that were earmarked for Gaza. The money came from the tax revenue Jerusalem collects on behalf of the PA under the 1993 Oslo Accords.
Smotrich halted the transfer, worsening the authority’s already harsh financial crisis, in light of what he said was the PA’s support for Hamas’s October 7 terror onslaught and its actions against Israel on the international stage.
In May, Smotrich suspended transfers altogether, accusing the PA of working against Israel after three countries said they would recognize an independent Paleostinian state and as the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor said he would seek arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
The financial pressure on the PA comes as economic and security conditions in the West Bank have deteriorated sharply, further eroding support for Abbas’s administration, which last held parliamentary elections 18 years ago and which many Paleostinians view as wholly corrupt.
The IDF has warned the government that cutting off funds to the PA could push the West Bank into another "intifada" — the name used for two violent mostly peaceful Paleostinian uprisings between 1987 and 2005 — at a time when there is already more unrest in the region than usual.
[HodhodYemenNews] A prominent leader in the UAE-funded forces survived an liquidation attempt with an bomb on Saturday in restive Lahj ... a Yemeni governate located in the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. It is the stomping grounds on the southern secessionist al-Harak movement province, 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... Informed sources said, "Unidentified button men targeted the commander of the security campaign in Ras al-Ara, Sultan Bajash al-Atri al-Subaihi, by detonating an bomb while he was driving in his car with his family in the al-Fayyoush area, which is controlled by the security belt."
The sources added that al-Subaihi was injured when his car went kaboom! in the middle of al-Fyoush Market and a fire broke out in it.
[Space] Some reporters began calling the astronauts "stranded" or "stuck" on the ISS. NASA and Boeing stress, however, that this couldn't be further from the truth. Shi* outta luck then ? I prefer the term marooned.
"Our plan is to return them on Starliner and return them home at the right time," Steve Stich, manager of NASA's Commercial Crew Program, told reporters during a tense press teleconference on June 28. (Reporters complained during the briefing that a lack of updates was leading to misinformation online; NASA and Boeing pledged more frequent discussions, but said they had remained relatively quiet mainly because they were busy troubleshooting Starliner's issues.)

Yeah, getting back is easy. It's downhill all the way! The trick is getting back in a state where you can continue to enjoy the benefits program.
Worst case, John Galt- sorry, Elon Musk - can give them a lift, but the optics are awful and it won't help Boeing's stock price or NASA's reputation. Not that any of our institutions look like heroes anymore.

If Boeing can admit the truth and let the poor bastards return to earth on SpaceX there is no problem. Currently it looks like Boeing would prefer to risk their lives in a sick spaceship.

Well, yeah. After all - Boeing Starliner's two astronauts knew to expect the unexpected when they took off on the spacecraft's first crewed mission on June 5.

There are only so many docking ports on that station.
#12
The prob is that Starliner is parked on the one and only docking port. There's a Aug 18 (IIRC) Dragon launch scheduled to bring up the next crew. No place to park.
The previous iteration of Starliner flew itself on autopilot, but the story is that software wasn't loaded on this capsule. (Probably so a Boeing exec could get a bonus for cost saving, but that's a guess.)

Immature, egotistical idiots so busily parading their arguments with their elected prime minister for ego and political points that they ignore the effect of that division on the nation’s security — both idiots within in the government and from the supposedly loyal opposition.
[IsraelTimes] Probe says PM nixed meeting on response to infiltration from Lebanon on day he fired Gallant; intel officers were at IDF HQ on Oct. 6, handling Gaza threat unrelated to Hamas invasion
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled a top-level meeting in March 2023 at which he and Israel’s security chiefs were to have decided how to respond to an infiltration by a Hezbollah operative two weeks earlier, and then fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant that same night, an investigative report said Saturday, asserting that the prime minister had placed his "political agenda" ahead of national security needs.
Netanyahu is currently again widely reported to be considering firing Gallant.

[GEO.TV] A six-year-old boy from Chakwal, Punjab was diagnosed with polio ...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set. Currently the disease is only found in Pakistain and Afghanistain... virus just a day after two new cases surfaced in the country, taking the total tally to 12.
A report by The News citing a Polio Eradication Initiative (PEI) official stated Saturday that the boy has been paralysed by the Wild Poliovirus 1, making it the first case from the province of Punjab.
At least nine cases have so far been reported from Balochistan and two were detected in Sindh, said the official, adding that the genetic sequencing of the case is in process.
The two other cases, earlier confirmed detected on Saturday by the national PEI officials, were from districts Jhal Magsi and Killa Abdullah in Balochistan.
"The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health (NIH) Islamabad has confirmed the detection of Type-1 Wild Poliovirus (WPV1) in the stool specimen from a 75-month-old male child from District Chakwal of Punjab province. The child had onset of paralysis on July 16, 2024," the PEI official maintained.
The laboratory confirmed the cases from union council Patri in Jhal Magsi and union council Maizai in Killa Abdullah. A three-year-old child from Jhal Magsi and a 1.5-year-old child from Killa Abdullah have been paralysed by the virus.
The Jhal Magsi case, which showed symptoms on July 5, is linked to a virus strain found in Usta Muhammad. The Killa Abdullah case, symptomatic since June 10, is under genetic analysis, officials in the Polio Eradication Initiative (PEI) of Pakistain said.

Obviously the Egyptians know we know they know we know this is pure crap. So why bother? Because there is a whole faction of the American electorate who will believe it, just as they believe Joe Biden is in charge, so they wrote this baloney for MSNBC to use,
[Free Press] I have been thinking a great deal about Russia these past few days in light of Thursday’s dramatic prisoner swap, which culminated with Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich emerging from an airplane at Andrews Air Force Base, outside Washington, D.C. More to the point, I’ve been thinking about those courageous Russian souls who, like Gershkovich, escaped from the authoritarian darkness and found their way to America.
At the top of that list is Alexander Solzhenitsyn—the author of one of the few books that actually changed the world. The Gulag Archipelago, a three-volume nonfiction account of life inside the notorious Stalinist penal system, first appeared in French in 1973, and the next year in English.
It created an audible and devastating crack in the Iron Curtain.

This is about a speech at Harvard: "How embarrassing to have been an American—a soon-to-be graduate of the nation’s most prestigious university, or, better yet, an esteemed professor or dean at that university—and to be forced to listen to a Soviet exile, a man who could not even speak to his audience in English, lecture them about their many shortcomings. "
He thinks Harvard people, even back then, would have been embarrassed by the speech? This writer is clueless.
[HodhodYemenNews] Israeli media have revealed that Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are intensifying efforts to establish military and intelligence infrastructure on the occupied Socotra Archipelago.
The Hebrew newspaper Maariv reported that following the al-Aqsa Storm operation on October 7, the UAE increased its efforts in collaboration with Israel to build a joint military and intelligence base on the occupied Socotra Island in the Arabian Sea, located 350 kilometers 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... The newspaper acknowledged that the UAE has sought to extend its control over the strategic archipelago since it joined the Saudi coalition against Yemen in 2015. After the al-Aqsa Storm operation, it accelerated its coordination with Tel Aviv in constructing military and intelligence sites in the Socotra Archipelago, including Socotra Island.
It admitted that this is a long-term project introduced as part of the normalization agreement between Israel and other Arab regimes in the Gulf involved in these projects, forming an "alliance being established under an American cover."
Maariv explained that since the start of the al-Aqsa Storm operation on October 7, the pace of construction has accelerated, with a primary focus on building an "Emirati-Israeli" military base on Abd al-Kuri Island, the second-largest island in the archipelago after Socotra.
It indicated that this archipelago, along with other Yemeni islands and ports, represents a central point, and the formation of the aforementioned alliance has become more urgent for all parties involved.
As part of this project, the Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi met with the US Central Command General Michael Kurilla and military leaders from the UAE and other countries last June.
According to Maariv, the ultimate goal of the project is to link Israel’s forces and security apparatus with the Arab countries engaged with it under the cover of US Central Command.
The UAE participated in the aggressive war on Yemen and took it as a way to achieve its goals in the south of the country. During the nine years of participation, it was accused of several practices that infringed upon Yemen’s illusory sovereignty, security, unity, independence, and territorial integrity.
The UAE sought to gain influence in the Yemeni coastal areas and the country’s south, intending to strengthen its presence at the maritime shipping lines in the Gulf of Aden and the Bab al-Mandab Strait, towards the Horn of Africa.

Ma’ariv is a small-circulation — less even than Ha’aretz’s 5% — left wing, Hebrew-language newspaper. I don’t know what they’re reporting, but I can’t find anything about an Israel connection to the UAE’s airport being built in the Socotra archipelago in my usual English language sites: Israel Times, the Jerusalem Post, or Ynet. As far as I can tell, the Israel thing is a claim made only by Hodhod Yemen News and Iran.

To my knowledge the Israeli connection with Socotra goes back more than a decade.

I’d be very grateful if you could you point us to some open source articles more trustworthy than Hodhod Yemen News, IS. For this kind of thing I only know what I can find in the Rantburg archives and a basic search of the internet. My only personal knowledge about Yemen is when Mr. Wife was offered an assignment there after the two Yemens united in 1990, as country manager for his international consumer products company. The argument was the five years he’d spent working in the Middle East and North Africa, India, and Turkey, and the fact that he’d studied Arabic during that time. He was very, very happy to be able to turn it down as unsuitable for someone with a Jewish wife, which thank goodness was accepted without question.

She has been the President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She has once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia show such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums... to resign.
The corpse count, which includes at least 13 coppers, was the highest for a single day from any protests in Bangladesh's recent history, surpassing the 67 deaths reported on July 19 when students erupted into the streets to demand the scrapping of quotas for government jobs.
The government declared an indefinite nationwide curfew starting at 6 p.m. (1200 GMT) on Sunday, the first time it has taken such a step during the current protests that began last month. It also announced a three-day general holiday starting from Monday.
The unrest, which has prompted the government to shut down internet services, is Hasina's biggest test in her 20-year regime after she won a fourth straight term in elections that were boycotted by the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party.
Critics of Hasina, along with human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. groups, have accused her government of using excessive force against protesters, a charge she and her ministers deny.
Demonstrators blocked major highways on Sunday as student protesters launched a non-cooperation program to press for the government's resignation, and violence spread nationwide.
"Those who are carrying out violence are not students but snuffies who are out to destabilise the nation," Hasina said after a national security panel meeting, attended by the chiefs of the army, navy, air force, police and other agencies.
"I appeal to our countrymen to suppress these snuffies with a strong hand."

17:45 The leader of the "LNR" Leonid Pasechnik stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces fired, presumably, eight ATACMS and four Storm Shadow missiles at Luhansk, the strikes hit "storage facilities where fuel tanks were located." According to him, four missiles were allegedly shot down by air defense forces as they approached the city, and the falling debris set dry grass on fire.

Kamala Harris gave her first unscripted remarks Thursday since ascending to the role of POTUS-in-waiting.
She and Joe Biden were standing on the tarmac of Joint Base Andrews just before midnight waiting to greet four American hostages freed from Russia when a reporter managed to fire a question at the usually inaccessible pair.
For some reason, Harris answered — but with her trademark incomprehensible word salad.
#10
Data on a laptop is only transferred to "the Cloud" if the software on the laptop initiates a transfer.
"The Cloud" is other people's storage hardware.
Data is transferred via internet to other people's IT systems that are located somewhere in physical space. perhaps in foreign adversarial jurisdictions.
Every entity who has physical access or can enforce access to such IT systems has possession of the data.
That is true for email as well which is why I was very surprised to learn that high ranking Western politicians are conducting serious business using generic email services provided by Google, etc.
Encryption could mitigate these issues, but I fear that encryption offered by black box cloud systems is more security theatre than security.
I think it is highly likely that the entirety of Mrs Harris' personal computer data and her email conversations are in the hands of every even remotely competent political actor in the world.
[IsraelTimes] At least 5 rockets launched from Gaza, triggering sirens near Ashdod and sparking blaze.
Amid continued fighting in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... ’s south and center, a barrage of at least five rockets was fired from the southern Gaza Strip, triggering sirens in a number of towns near Ashdod for the first time in months.
Some of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome and some impacted open areas. The IDF said one of the rockets hit the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council.
The Fire and Rescue Service said it was working to put out a fire sparked by a rocket that hit near the southern town of Bitzaron.
There were no injuries in the attack.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the long-range attack.
Also Sunday, the army announced that a recent dronezap in central Gaza’s Nuseirat had killed Ismail Nofal, who participated in Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... ’s October 7 onslaught and was reportedly the son of Ayman Nofal, the former commander of Hamas’s Central Gaza Brigade, whom Israel killed in October.
According to the army, the younger Nofal was a Hamas terrorist who participated in the devastating October 7 attack and was also involved in rocket fire on Israel amid the war.
Meanwhile,
...back at the revival hall, the congregants were being herded into the paddy wagon... a group of Hamas members operating out of two schools in Gaza City were struck by Israeli fighter jets on Sunday afternoon, the IDF said.
According to the military, Hamas embedded command and control rooms within the Hassan Salama and Nasr schools in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood. The schools were used by the Hamas operatives as a hideout and as a command room where attacks on IDF troops and Israel were planned and carried out, the military said.
To mitigate harm to civilians in the strike, the IDF said it carried out "many steps," including using precision munitions, aerial surveillance, and other intelligence.
"The Hamas terror organization systematically violates international law, brutally exploiting civilian institutions and the population as a human shield for terror activity," the military added.
In recent months, dozens of Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s have been carried out against Hamas sites embedded within schools and other sites used as shelters for civilians, according to the IDF.
A separate overnight Israeli strike killed at least five people in a tent area inside the al-Aqsa Hospital compound, in central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah, the Strip’s Hamas-run health ministry said.
The IDF said it struck a gunman in Deir al-Balah who "conducted terror activities" and that secondary explosions were identified, indicating weapons were present in the area.
Elsewhere in Deir el-Balah, three Paleostinians were killed Sunday when an Israeli missile struck a house, while eight other people were killed inside their home in Jabaliya camp in northern Gaza City and three inside a car in separate Israeli strikes, Rooters reported.
More than 50 other strikes were carried out in Gaza over the past day, targeting cells of button men, buildings used by terror groups, observation posts, and other infrastructure, according to the military.
[IsraelTimes] Following a series of recent rocket attacks on Israel from the southern Gazoo Strip, the Israeli military is calling on Paleostinians in some neighborhoods of Khan Younis to evacuate and head toward the designated "humanitarian zone."
Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language front man, publishes a list of the zones that need to be evacuated alongside the announcement.
Adraee says that the IDF will "forcefully operate" against terror groups in the Khan Younis area following the rocket attacks.
[Rudaw] A vehicle was hit by a suspected Israeli strike on the outskirts of the Syrian capital of Damascus on Saturday, a war monitor reported.
"An Israeli drone targeted a vehicle on the Damascus - Beirut road near the al-Zabadani area... leading to the death of one person inside," the UK-based war monitor Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported.
Syrian state media and the Israeli army have yet to comment on the strike.
I hope my hair grows back too.

[GEO.TV] The French and US foreign ministers called on all sides in the Middle East "to exercise the utmost restraint" to prevent a regional conflict, La Belle France's foreign ministry said Saturday.
French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne discussed the rising tension in the region by telephone with his US counterpart Antony Blinken ...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked. After leaving government service, Blinken moved into the private sector, co-founding WestExec Advisors, a lobbying firm... , said a ministry front man.

[Regnum] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Burkina Faso called on the international community to assess Kiev's support for terrorism, writes the publication Burkina24.
"Burkina Faso strongly condemns this act of glorification of terror and expresses surprise that it was committed by the Ukrainian embassy in Dakar," the statement said.
They added that the Kiev regime supports terrorism at a time when the world is unanimous in the need to fight this evil.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on August 3, the Ukrainian ambassador to Senegal, Yuriy Pivovarov, was summoned to the country's Foreign Ministry due to the publication of a video on the embassy's account supporting terrorists in Mali.
Fierce battles with terrorists continue in Mali - combat aircraft have retaliated by striking the location of a Tuareg group and foreign mercenaries in Tinhavatin. It is preliminarily known that at least 40 militants have been eliminated and up to 70 more wounded.
[IsraelTimes] A Hezbollah operative was struck by fighter jets at a building used by the terror group in the southern Lebanon village of Houla, the IDF says.
The military says the operative was identified by troops of the 869th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit entering the weapons depot, and a short while later, an airstrike was carried out.
Separately, a Hezbollah operative spotted in the Beit Lif area was killed in a drone strike, the IDF says.
The IDF adds that other Hezbollah infrastructure was struck in Ayta ash-Shab.
Hezbollah carried out several rocket attacks on northern Israel today, with impacts reported in Kiryat Shmona, Malkia and the Mount Dov area. There were no injuries.
[IsraelTimes] Hezbollah fired some 30 rockets from Lebanon at the Galilee Panhandle late last night, the IDF says, after the terror group took responsibility for the barrage just after midnight.
The IDF says that most of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system, though one impacted the northern community of Beit Hillel, and several more landed in open areas.
There were no injuries in the attack.
In response, Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck the launcher used in the attack, in the southern Lebanon town of Marjayoun, along with other Hezbollah infrastructure in the area, the military adds.
The IDF says it also shelled the Odaisseh area with artillery to “remove a threat.”

On the night of August 4, Hezbollah struck settlements in Israel's Upper Galilee, firing more than 50 rockets from multiple launch rocket systems. Al Mayadeen reported that air raid sirens sounded in 15 Israeli settlements.
According to the American portal Axios, US and Israeli officials expect Iran to attack the territory of the Jewish state on August 5. Sky News Arabiya, in turn, specifies that Iran may attack Israel on August 12-13.

[IsraelTimes] Security establishment sees potentially unprecedented rocket fire, major evacuations, power outages, water supply issues, disrupted telecom service and brief internet disruptions
A document by the Israel Defense Forces detailing the "Updated Scenario" in the event of an all-out war with Hezbollah was recently shared with northern mayors, The Times of Israel has learned.
The document was shared as Israel braces for a threatened response by Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... and Hezbollah to the killings last week of Hezbollah’s military commander Fuad Shukr in an Israeli strike in Beirut and Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... leader Ismail Haniyeh ...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank... in a blast in Tehran for which Israel has not grabbed credit.
In the event of war with Hezbollah, the document envisages a potential three-day power outage in some cities; breakdowns in water supply that could last days; a disconnection of landlines for up to eight hours and cellphone communications for up to 24 hours; and brief local disruptions to radio and internet.
Some 40% of the nation’s workforce may be unable to work for the duration of the conflict, and service providers from outside affected areas may become unavailable throughout, according to the document.
The security establishment, The Times of Israel has learned, assesses that Israel could face an unprecedented attack with hundreds of rockets, carrying warheads ranging from payloads of 50 kilograms — like the one that hit Majdal Shams, killing 12 children at a soccer field — to 10 times that.
Hezbollah would be expected to prioritize targeting IDF facilities, then infrastructure, and then civilian targets, though that could change. It would be expected to aim at targets far to the south of Haifa, including Tel Aviv, possibly forcing the evacuation of large numbers of people to Jerusalem and to the south.
The evacuees would be housed in hotels, some of which are already housing numerous displaced Israelis from the north. If hotels in the Jerusalem area are full up, the evacuees would be accommodated in schools in the city.
Plans are being made for tent cities in the south, including in areas such as Timna, north of Eilat, and Eshkol Park in the Negev. The model for these is similar to that of the tents set up by Arcadi Gaydamak on Nitzanim Beach in 2006, for citizens evacuated from the north during the Second Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... War, and in 2007 at Yarkon Park for Sderot residents.
According to senior IDF sources, existing protective measures — notably including safe rooms — are extremely effective against missiles, including those of Hezbollah. Furthermore, according to the sources, the Home Front Command and local authorities are properly prepared for the scenario.
At the same time, "the reality for the other side will be far worse, to put it mildly," one security official told The Times of Israel.
In the event of a major attack from the north, cities such as Sderot, Ofakim and Netivot would ironically become relatively safe places as regards Hezbollah missile strikes; cities in the south that were targeted in October 2023 would thus become cities of refuge in August 2024.
Yair Maayan, mayor of the southern city of Arad, last week encouraged residents of the north to consider evacuating to his quiet city, "and anybody who wants to, can also stay."
[IsraelTimes] New system can send messages based on positioning of cell towers — not GPS, which has seen disruptions amid ongoing war; IDF says no current changes to instructions for civilians
As Israel continues to brace for a retaliatory attack by Hezbollah or Iran, the IDF Home Front Command said Sunday that it has now launched a new system to send location-based public warning messages, following successful trials.
IDF front man Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, meanwhile, continued to stress that there were no changes to emergency instructions for civilians.
The new alert system is based on Cell Broadcast, which is a method of sending short messages to multiple phone users in a defined area. Many other countries have similar systems in place.
The Home Front Command said the system will "enable the receipt of a message in large-scale emergency events, such as rocket fire on Israel."
The alerts will pop up on a user’s phone without needing to install an app or other previous action. It will sound an alarm with an emergency message.
The Home Front Command said the system doesn’t aim to replace its app or the physical sirens, but rather is intended for "surprise large-scale emergencies." Cell Broadcast is not based on GPS, which has seen disruptions amid the ongoing war, but rather on the positioning of cellular towers.
In the case of rockets, missiles or drone attacks, sirens ring out in the affected areas. However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money... those with their windows closed who are using loud air conditioning units or fans, as well as those who are hard of hearing, may not always hear the alerts.
The IDF Home Front Command app, which was launched in 2016, tracks users based on their GPS location and alerts them to threats in their immediate area by sounding an alert and showing a message.
The app can distinguish between individual neighborhoods within cities to only alert those in areas the IDF believes should seek shelter from missiles or shrapnel.
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]There’s a long tradition of giving ambassadorships to totally unsuitable persons to reward them for making large donations or being otherwise very helpful to the winning party. JFK’s father comes to mind — he spent several years being counterproductive in London during the second world war.

To hear Churchill tell it, Kennedy fled London for the countryside during WWII and Roosevelt sent Averell Harriman to serve as de facto ambassador.

But I recall that Carolyn Kennedy was ambassador to Japan when Obama was president, so there is precedent.

Best way to finally be invited to all the best parties and make connections with all that Arab money. The whole CGI scam is a dry hole of late as they have no juice to sell anymore.
[GEO.TV] A senior US official said Sunday the United States is ready for "every possibility" amid fears of war between Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... and Israel, while telling the Israelis it is "urgent" to reach a ceasefire deal in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Following the Pentagon's announcement that it has beefed up the US military presence in the Middle East, White House Deputy National Security Adviser Jon Finer said "we are preparing for every possibility."
"The Pentagon is moving significant assets to the region, to prepare for what may be another need to defend Israel from an attack, while simultaneously we are working very hard to deescalate this situation diplomatically because we do not believe that a regional war is in anyone's interest in the current moment," he continued, speaking on ABC News.
[IsraelTimes] Unnamed Western intelligence sources quoted by the UAE-owned Sky News Arabia indicate that Iran and Hezbollah plan to launch their retaliatory strike against Israel on Tisha B’av, the day of mourning for the destruction of the two Jewish temples, which begins this year at sunset on August 12 and ends on August 13 at nightfall.
The sources indicate that the choice of the day is due to several psychological and tactical considerations. It may aim to revive historical traumas for Jews of destruction and uprooting, thereby amplifying the psychological impact of the attack on Israeli society.
To Moslem audiences receptive to Iran and Hezbollah’s narrative, an attack on Tisha B’Av would signal that Israel is vulnerable to destruction, the way Jews have historically been, the sources add.
A large-scale attack on a day of religious significance may also exploit Israel’s lowered defenses and "increase the state of chaos," the way Egypt did with its surprise attack on Yom Kippur in 1973, the sources add.

[GEO.TV] The incarcerated Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) founder, 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... , who blames the military for his ouster and 12-month-old imprisonment on what he calls trumped-up charges, has said it would be "foolish" not to have "excellent" relations with the army.
Ahead of Monday's anniversary of his jailing on dozens of charges ranging from corruption to leaking state secrets, Khan also stated in a written responses to Rooters questions that he held no grudges against the United States, whom he has also blamed for his 2022 ouster from office.
"Given Pakistain's geographical position and the military's significant role in the private sector, it would be foolish not to foster such a relationship," Khan wrote in replies relayed by his media and legal team.
"We are proud of our soldiers and armed forces," he said.
Khan said his criticisms since his ouster had been directed at individuals, not the military as an institution.
"The miscalculations of the military leadership shouldn't be held against the institution as a whole."
On Wednesday, Khan offered to hold "conditional negotiations" with the military — if "clean and transparent" elections were held and the "bogus" cases against his supporters were dropped.
Army and government did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Khan's remarks to Rooters. They have both repeatedly denied his assertions.
The United States denies any role in his ouster.
In his replies, the 71-year-old former cricket star did not specify what he wanted to discuss with the military.

[Regnum] Investigators in the case of the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall have received testimony from a new witness who confirmed the involvement of Muhammad Zoir Sharipzoda (an individual included in the Russian Federation’s list of terrorists and extremists) in the mass murder in Krasnogorsk. This was reported by RIA Novosti, citing relevant court documents.
The 11th defendant, Sharipzoda, was detained on April 4. By court order, he was arrested and sent to a pretrial detention center. The lawyers asked for a different measure of restraint, but the decision was upheld.
According to the publication, the investigation and the court have grounds to conclude that there is information about the validity of Muhammad Sharipzoda’s involvement in the terrorist attack.
"An eyewitness pointed to him as the person who committed the crime," the document says.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, terrorists attacked Crocus on the evening of March 22. The gunmen opened fire on visitors and then set fire to the concert hall. As a result of the terrorist attack, 144 people were killed and 551 were injured.
Four of the direct perpetrators of the terrorist attack were detained near the Ukrainian border. In total, 18 of the 20 accused were arrested.
One of the defendants, Yakubdzhoni Yusufzoda (listed by Rosfinmonitoring as a terrorist and extremist), attempted to destroy evidence of the investigation before his arrest. Several days before the attack on Crocus City Hall, the defendant used his bank card to transfer money to an accomplice to provide accommodation for other defendants in the case. Yusufzoda transferred part of the funds to one of the perpetrators of the attack after the incident in Krasnogorsk, Moscow Region.
The Zamoskvoretsky Court of Moscow has left without action the class action lawsuit of the victims and relatives of those killed in the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall against Ingosstrakh.

[BenarNews] Thai security forces killed three suspected bandidos bad boys in a shootout on Thursday, ending a six-day standoff in the southern province of Pattani, officials said. The incident occurred at a rubber plantation in Khok Pho district where authorities said more suspects could be hiding. A member of the security forces died earlier in the standoff, which began on July 27.
Security personnel, who had received information that the suspected bandidos bad boys were hiding in a forest near the plantation, went to arrest the trio who had outstanding warrants for bad boy activities, said Col. Ekwarit Chobchuphon, front man for ISOC-4, the regional office of the Internal Security Operations Command.

[IsraelTimes] A statue of Anne Frank, a Holocaust victim famous for her diary account of hiding from the Nazis during World War II, has been covered with pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel graffiti, AFP learned on Sunday.
According to images published on X, the base of the statue was spray-painted with the slogan "Free Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... ," while the girl’s hands were painted with the same blood-red color.
Police have opened an investigation into the most recent defacement, which likely occurred overnight between Saturday and Sunday, an Amsterdam police front man told AFP, adding that no suspect had yet been identified.
August 4 marks exactly 80 years to the day that the Franks were arrested and deported after their hiding spot was discovered. The question of who turned the Frank family in to the Nazis has never been definitively settled.
This weekend’s incident marks the second time in less than a month that the statue has been targeted, according to television station AT5 and confirmed to AFP by the police source.
AT5 said that the statue in a southern Amsterdam park had been vandalized on July 9, after which the municipality called for increased protection of the site with video surveillance cameras and night-time lighting.
In an exclusive breaking story, several Federal Air Marshal whistleblowers have come forward with information showing that former U.S. Representative and Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is currently enrolled in the Quiet Skies program. Quiet Skies is a TSA surveillance program with its own compartmentalized suspected terrorist watchlist. It is the same program being weaponized against J6 defendants and their families. Quiet Skies is allegedly used to protect traveling Americans from suspected domestic terrorists. The photo below is a screenshot from the actual Target Package used by the FAMS to surveil Gabbard.
The whistleblowers first shared the information with Sonya LaBosco, the Executive Director of the Air Marshal National Council (AMNC), a national advocacy group for the Federal Air Marshals (FAMs). According to LaBosco, at least one of the whistleblowers is ready to go on the record with pertinent documentation. LaBosco shared that Gabbard is unaware she has two Explosive Detection Canine Teams, one Transportation Security Specialist (explosives), one plainclothes TSA Supervisor, and three Federal Air Marshalls on every flight she boards. LaBosco has attempted to contact Gabbard and her staff but has not received a response.
LaBosco and AMNC President David Londo have repeatedly testified on behalf of FAMS. They have also written countless letters concerning the classification of innocent Americans as domestic terrorists to the Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, the House Homeland Committee, the Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, and the House Oversight Committee.
Because of ongoing whistleblower information, LaBosco believes TSA and Homeland Security are violating citizens’ constitutional rights in a “big domestic surveillance grab” that seems to be targeting conservatives.
UncoverDC broke a story in November 2023 about A.J. Fischer’s infant son, who continues to be enrolled in the program because his father attended the Jan. 6 Capitol protests. J6 attendee Bryan Smith, who served 20 years with unblemished service, is also on the list. So is Christine Crowder, the wife of an active Air Marshal. Crowder was in D.C. on Jan. 6 but did not attend the Capitol protest.

Sounds like a basis for a federal law, if an illegal is deported and returns committing a capital crime, it should invoke a death penalty. Only two factors: 1 was he/she deported? 2 did they commit a capital crime? If the answer to both is yes, no further appeal.

From Jesse Watters on Fox News:
If you needed another reason to vote in this election, it's this. If Kamala is elected, the Trump assassination attempt investigation will be bottlenecked. Donald Trump told me that if he's elected, he'll declassify everything about the attempt on his life. So if you want to know what happened this July, you know what to do in November.

This is the typical result of any mass immigration agenda, for any OPEN BORDERS nation.
When any Open Border Nation Does Not require those storming in to it, to integrate, follow established law and accept the traditions of their new nation, that area is usually forced to accept the invader's versions.
Because, once the invaders congregate, and have acquired the needed numbers (Citizen or Non-Citizen status) in selected areas, then the implanted radical leaders appear and start forcing their laws, culture and originating nation's issues on the host area.
We have already seen this in the EU, and a number of Liberal US Metro areas.
