Elizabeth Ruth Grable was an American actress, pin-up girl, dancer, model, and singer. Her 42 films during the 1930s and 1940s grossed more than $100 million; for 10 consecutive years she reigned in the Quigley Poll's Top 10 box office stars. (a feat only matched by Doris Day, Julia Roberts and Barbra Streisand, although all were surpassed by Mary Pickford, who was in for 13 times). The U.S. Treasury Department in 1946 and 1947 listed her as the highest-salaried American woman; she earned more than $3 million during her career. ($22 million in 2021 dollars) Wikipedia

[RigZone] About 1.6 million barrels of crude from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, a monthly record, was shipped out in October, according to data from market intelligence firm Kpler.
If the Biden Administration decides to tap U.S. emergency crude reserves to push down domestic energy prices, it may not help all that much. The supplies may just be exported away like last month.
About 1.6 million barrels of crude from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve -- a monthly record -- was shipped out in October, according to data from market intelligence firm Kpler. Three cargoes were loaded onto a supertanker in the U.S. Gulf Coast and are headed to Asia.
"Given the ongoing pace of the current SPR release -- 12 million barrels in the last two months and the biggest weekly release so far last week at 3.1 million barrels -- it’s fair to assume more SPR barrels are going to leave U.S. shores in the weeks ahead," said Matt Smith, an oil analyst at Kpler.
The White House has been mulling a range of options to ease soaring pump prices and Democrats are pressing for a potential ban on oil exports as well as the release of crude from the nation’s strategic reserves. Bitter comments typed and deleted.
[Auto Blog] Sometimes smaller is better. Sometimes smaller is cheaper, and sometimes smaller is smarter. That’s the 2022 Ford Maverick, a compact pickup truck sharing the same unibody platform as the Ford Escape and Bronco Sport. Yeah, it’s small, but that’s great if you want something with a bed, but don’t have the need or the extra cash for a mid- or full-size truck. Instead, the Maverick is an easy-to-drive, efficient pickup that won’t break the bank and has to make intelligent use of the space it’s got.
The Maverick is peerless, with its small stature and a standard hybrid powertrain. The closest competitor is the also-new Hyundai Santa Cruz. That Hyundai shies away from the pickup vibe, maintaining its crossover aesthetics. The Maverick leans into the fact that it’s a pickup, and built by a company that’s been selling countless pickups for many, many decades. And the Maverick totally succeeds at being just enough truck for a lot of people. We have no doubt it will be popular — and for good reason. We just wonder if Ford can keep up with demand.

My boss is leasing one and likes it. Not a lot of cabin height though. I'm 6'-2" and it felt a bit claustrophobic compared to the blessed F-150.

Sat in one at the local dealer (didn't drive it) and it does feel somewhat cramped. Not quite as tall as you Frank, but still felt like sitting in a RAV4 (cramped seating) without the headroom.
I'll stick to my old Expedition for now.

Sorry but everytime my wife talks about getting a truck there's only one on the table. F150. Drove one up the rockies for over a year and I almost cried when Halliburton took it away and made me drive the company Chevy Silverado. You just can't beat that roomier interior with seats that don't slowly murder you.
[Market Watch] Well, it turns out our toxic modern diet of saturated fats, refined carbs, salt and chemicals may be speeding up our cognitive decline in our senior years, and could even bring on dementia. I've read this article like, four times, and still don't get it...
The good news? It will only affect those it hasn’t already killed through things like obesity, heart disease and diabetes.
The cheering news on processed foods and the brain has been confirmed by one of those heartless tests on a bunch of blameless rats in a lab in Ohio. Some aging rats were fed a healthy diet, some a diet of processed foods. After a month — things happen quickly in rat biology — they were put through some memory tests involving ringing bells and electric shocks through the feet. Then they were, er, euthanized and their brains dissected.
It’s not much fun being a lab rat.
"Consumption of a PD [ie processed foods diet], enriched with refined carbohydrate sources, for 28 days impaired hippocampal- and amygdalar-dependent memory function," the researchers found. "These memory deficits were accompanied by increased expression of inflammatory genes... in the hippocampus and amygdala of aged rats."

Just watch as grocery and food prices increase and Big Box Food automates and packages itself as the only way to feed your family regularly, affordably.
No social interaction of dining out, no process stimulation of cooking in, just people sitting on their butts waiting for the next serving of 30 Day Fiancee level nutrition and enjoyment.
"Family not getting enough to eat....come to Taco Bell where you can get full at half the price of just a pack of taco shells."
[Market Watch] High inflation is eating up the budgets of American households.
The cost of groceries have jumped 5.4% in the past year, marking one of the biggest increases in the past two decades, according to the consumer price index. By contrast, grocery prices did not increase at all in the five years before the pandemic.
Meat, chicken, dairy, eggs, sugar and coffee are among the products that have seen especially large price gains in the past year, Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows.
The rising cost of food has contributed to the biggest surge in U.S. inflation in almost 31 years. The cost of living has soared 6.2% in the 12 months ended in October, new government figures show.

Ach, du lieber Augustine, everything's up

Pulp and paper cardboard containers up

Government policy makers forget that in a market economy, there's always a choice and a substitute for a product which has shot up in price. They don't all rise at the same time and at the same rate.
That is a mechanism that keeps prices down for some products, while letting prices rise for others.
Other than meat, basic foodstuffs have not risen very much despite the best efforts of near moronic government policy makers.
#3
Also, where and how you buy matters. I go to a local produce stand rather than the produce section of the grocery store. The product is fresher and cheaper. Likewise, if you do your clothes and shoe shopping at an outlet mall, you will pay less than at a big box store. Not always, but often enough to matter.

The cause of all this us not government inaction but incredibly foolish government stimulus. These shitheads mailed checks totaling over a trillion to nearly the entire population -- all the way up to the 90th income percentile.
All this money sloshing around, with a simultaneous DECLINE in productive capacity because of their retarded lockdowns, had a totally predictable effect: massive across the board inflation.
Larry Summers and most other normal sensible economists pointed this out a long time ago: "Too much water in the tub."
Such an obvious, predictable consequence of stupid Biden policies.

I agree prices are up everywhere.
But where you shop has A LOT to do with prices.
It obvious some places are taking it as a opportunity to abuse the situation and charge more.
Example I have seen:
Wally World in North Augusta SC and Aldi's / Lindls get their private label Milks come from the Same supplier. Wall World $2.89 to $3.24 a gallon
(other sources) $1.59 to 1.98 a gallon.
Eggs
WW $1.48 (other sources) $0.52 to $0.98
Bacon, we quit looking at it when it hit $5.00 p/lb and super market started playing with the package weights. We bought a Harbor Freight meat slicer ($25.00, purchase $2.48p/lb Pork Loin started making something close to bacon, with about 50+% less fat.
Spiral Hams and etc.. all cheaper at (other sources) than Wally World.
Purchase a 15.62 lb Frozen Butter Ball Turkey for $0.98 a pound.
Heck even KROGER is beating the pants off Wally World lately.
Food Loin Supermarkets went super rip off and Dumb $hit and started charging $4.99 for a pack of common coffee machine filters, while everyone else is $1.290 to $1.99.
[Aljazeera] The UN estimates 80 percent of the Sahel’s rain-fed farmland is affected by degradation due to erratic rainfall.
More than 1.3 million people have been plunged into extreme poverty in the Sahel, as the Belt of Africa experiences its deepest recession since independence due to COVID-19.
Long before the pandemic, the Western Sahel was being reshaped by climate change. Farmers and herders have been clashing over fertile land and, lacking opportunities, many young people have been recruited to violent groups. Ornella Moderan, the head of the Sahel programme at the Institute for Security Studies, explains why.
And Fairtrade Foundation CEO Michael Gidney talks to Al Jazeera about the effect climate change is having on the 1.8 million farmers his non-profit organisation works with.

My guess is that the usual Malthusian forces are at work. Populations grow beyond what the soil and water resources will support. Famine and war ensue.
[Reuters] There is a greater risk of an accidental war breaking out between the West and Russia than at any time since the Cold War, with many of the traditional diplomatic tools no longer available, Britain's most senior military officer said.
General Nick Carter, chief of the defence staff, told Times Radio there was a greater risk of tensions in the new era of a "multipolar world", where governments compete for different objectives and different agendas.
"I think we have to be careful that people don't end up allowing the bellicose nature of some of our politics to end up in a position where escalation leads to miscalculation," he said in an interview to be broadcast on Sunday.
Tensions have been mounting in eastern Europe in recent weeks after the European Union accused Belarus of flying in thousands of migrants to engineer a humanitarian crisis on its border with EU-member state Poland, a dispute that threatens to draw in Russia and NATO.
[UPI] A new blood test may be more than 80% accurate at identifying people at risk for developing Alzheimer's disease, a study presented Thursday during the Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease conference in Boston found.
The test, called PrecivityAD and manufactured by St.Louis-based diagnostic company C2N, identifies those with elevated levels of the protein amyloid in the brain, the researchers said.
In people in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, this protein accumulates in clusters in the brain called plaques, disrupting cognitive function.
These plaques, which form before the signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's disease appear, typically are identified through positron emission tomography, or PET, imaging scans of the brain.

So, if you are not one of the elites in the US, you can’t afford this test!

It’s in clinical trials, Cooky, so it’s free to half of the participants. The problem is you won’t know until afterward whether you were in the group that got something for nothing or the group that got nothing for nothing.
80% accuracy means they get the wrong answer 1/5th of the time — I wouldn’t be comfortable with that.
[NBC via RedState] Democratic lawmakers on Veterans Day reintroduced legislation that would grant GI Bill benefits to the descendants of black Americans who fought in World War II but were prevented from taking advantage of the program. It is intended to atone for the reality that many soldiers were discriminated against when they attempted to obtain the educational and housing benefits the GI Bill granted.
NBC News reported:
The GI Bill Restoration Act would provide descendants of these veterans a transferable benefit that could be used to obtain housing, attend college or start a business, according to the announcement Thursday from the bill’s sponsors.
To mark Veterans Day, the bill was unveiled Thursday by House Majority Whip James Clyburn of South Carolina and Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts in the House and is expected to be introduced by Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia in the Senate. The Democratic lawmakers said that Black veterans had limited access to GI benefits in the past because most state and local veterans administrations were largely run by white officials.
The report noted that "[t]he bill would extend access to Post-9/11 GI Bill educational assistance benefits to the surviving spouse and direct descendants of these veterans who were alive when the bill took effect.
Rep. Clyburn released a statement in which he pointed out that black soldiers who served in World War II were "treated unjustly" after returning to the U.S. and were denied a "path to the middle class."

I agree there has been serious PAST discrimination.
But isn't rewarding Grandchildren, just another form of Reparations.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When congressional lawmakers began drafting the GI Bill in 1944, it was the Democrats that fought it tooth and nail.
Deeper research, despite many recent WOKE rewrites that have now tainted history, quickly show this was a nationwide practice 70-80 years ago.
NOT just the SOUTH.
A lot of violent discrimination was also in Northern States and Northern cities. eg. Chicagoan's hurling rocks at Black Service men and their families moving to housing developments.

Clyburn is the same POS that rescued Biden in the primaries. Asshole, Racialist, Dem Pimp - call him and he'll answer

[Breitbart] Black Americans who spent most of their lives working on Mississippi farms are suing their former employer after they were replaced by foreign workers on the H-2A visa program.
The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi, accuses Pitts Farms of laying off a number of black Americans, only to replace them with foreign visa workers from South Africa.
The H-2A visa program allows U.S. farms to annually outsource an unlimited number of American jobs to foreign workers who can extend their stay for up to three years. The foreign families of H-2A visa workers can also come to the U.S. on H-4 visas.
In 1997, a little more than 16,000 foreign visa workers were imported to take American jobs on U.S. farms. By 2020, that number has ballooned to a record 213,400 foreign visa workers — an increase in the H-2A visa program of more than 1,200 percent in less than 25 years.
Data shows U.S. farms use the H-2A visa program to import cheaper, foreign visa workers.
#7
I agree with them here, as this is something which happens in the local packing facilities. About every ten years a new, lower paid ethnic group sets up in town.
But they shouldn't be suing Pitts Farms, they should be suing the policy makers, US Chamber of Commerce, NLRB.

[Breitbart] Five retired Navy SEALs are running for Congress in 2022 to save the America they swore an oath to protect and defend.
They are Republicans Ryan Zinke for Montana’s 2nd District, Derrick Van Orden for Wisconsin’s 3rd District, Eli Crane for Arizona’s 1st District, Morgan Luttrell for Texas’s 8th District, and Brady Duke for Florida’s 7th District.
"It’s exciting because what you have is you have two fire teams of warriors that don’t flinch in the fight for freedom," said Ryan Zinke, who was the first SEAL to become a cabinet secretary and congressman in Montana’s on the lam district.
"These guys, you’re not going to be able to intimidate them. You’re not going to be able to harass them. They’ll do the right thing for America and they’ll put America first," he said.
The five veterans spoke to Breitbart News about what SEAL veterans can uniquely bring to Congress.
[OneIndia] The notorious terrorist, Ali Babar who was arrested by the Indian Army from Uri in Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... in September revealed during his interrogation that more infiltration bids will be made from Pakistain with the help of the ISI.
His revelations come in the backdrop of the Intelligence Bureau stating that there will be many more infiltration bids made by Pak bandidosholy warriors in the days to come. An IB official tells OneIndia that Pakistain will attempt to infiltrate more of its bandidosholy warriors into the Valley.

On Friday at dawn, unknown individuals, said to be agents of 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), killed Iraqi refugees including the head of the Iraqi Council for Refugees in Hawl Camp, northeast Syria.
Two months ago, the dead and his family moved with other Iraqi and Syrian families from the first and fourth sectors to the reception department in the camp as a result of being threatened with killing several times.
Sleeper cells of ISIS infiltrated into the reception department, fired at a number of refugees killing two Iraqis including head of the Iraqi Council, and maimed several women, a security source of the camp told North Press.
During 2021, the Hawl Camp has witnesses many killing incidents most of them were carried out via bullets, and silent individual weapons.
Since early 2021, about 90 murders were recorded in the camp most of them of Iraqi refugees.
The Hawl Camp houses about 15,650 families of which 8,049 Iraqi families, 5,153 Syrian families, 2,448 families in total of 8,245 individuals of women and kiddies of detainees, bully boys, and dead of foreign ISIS.
Hawl Camp is known as a "ticking time bomb" due to the presence of gunnies of ISIS wives and children, and tens of thousands of their supporters in a camp sometimes described as "the most dangerous camp in the world."
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] The prosecution in the Kyle Rittenhouse case, led by Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger, will seek to add additional, lesser charges to their case after their prosecution fell apart this week.

As I've said, the mob won't be satisfied unless Rittenhouse is convicted of two counts of first degree murder, one of attempted murder, various weapons charges, rioting, mopery with intent to gawk and any other charges the DA can make up. And he has to be sentenced to death. Anything less, and there will be riots.

Do judges normally allow additional charges after both prosecution and defense have completed presenting their cases?

No. However, that was in the past. Precedent only lasts until they want to change it. SCOTUS has been undermining Double Jeopardy as intended by the founders for a long time.
At this moment the King, who had been for some time busily writing in his note-book, cackled out `Silence!' and read out from his book, `Rule Forty-two. All persons more than a mile high to leave the court.'
Everybody looked at Alice.
`I'm not a mile high,' said Alice.
`You are,' said the King.
`Nearly two miles high,' added the Queen.
`Well, I shan't go, at any rate,' said Alice: `besides, that's not a regular rule: you invented it just now.'
`It's the oldest rule in the book,' said the King.
`Then it ought to be Number One,' said Alice.
The King turned pale, and shut his note-book hastily. `Consider your verdict,' he said to the jury, in a low, trembling voice.
`There's more evidence to come yet, please your Majesty,' said the White Rabbit, jumping up in a great hurry; `this paper has just been picked up.'
`What's in it?' said the Queen.
`I haven't opened it yet,' said the White Rabbit, `but it seems to be a letter, written by the prisoner to--to somebody.'
`It must have been that,' said the King, `unless it was written to nobody, which isn't usual, you know.'

[NewsFrontInfo] Estonian Defense Minister Kalle Laanet said that in order to prepare "for a possible hybrid attack," the Estonian troops could stretch 130 kilometers of barrage wire along the border with Russia.
According to Laanet, Belarus continues to aggravate the migration crisis on the border with Poland and Lithuania, so measures must be taken to protect the borders.
Recall that the migration crisis on the border of Belarus and the EU countries began in the summer of 2021 after Lukashenka announced that he would weaken control over the flows of illegal migrants amid another aggravation of relations with Western countries. Recently, the situation on the border with Belarus has worsened.

[REGNUM] Farmers from the Albanian municipality of Lushnja held a protest on November 12, during which they clashed with the police.
As reported by the Albanian news agency Politiko. al, farmers sat on the highway in the middle of the intersection, blocking traffic to the south of the country.
The protesters demand direct payments to individual production units in the amount of 10 leks per kilogram of production and argue that such payments will stimulate production, and not simply serve as an instrument of social support, they will formalize payments and reduce corruption and bureaucratic costs of state support for producers.
Another farmers' demand is to abolish the value added tax on chemical fertilizers.
Note that Belarus and Russia concluded a basing and military exercise agreement some weeks ago.
[REGNUM] Two contract servicemen of the Airborne Forces were killed during a parachute landing in Belarus due to a sudden gust of wind, the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Russian Defense Ministry reported on November 12.
Recall that the tragedy occurred on November 12 during a parachute landing on an unfamiliar site near the city of Grodno.
"According to a report from the scene, as a result of a sudden strong gust of wind near the ground, the parachutes of two contract servicemen, who had high qualifications of parachute training instructors, descended. The domes of both parachutists went out. One of the servicemen made an attempt to stop the uncontrolled fall of both, using his reserve parachute, " stated in the message of the Russian military department.
The reserve parachutes did not have time to deploy due to insufficient altitude.
"Both servicemen were injured and were promptly taken to a local medical facility, where they received all the necessary assistance. Despite the efforts of the doctors, both contractual Russian servicemen died from their injuries," the Russian Ministry of Defense reports.

Explosion ripped through a mosque in Nangarhar province, Afghanistan, today
IED placed inside the village of Traili mosque detonated at 1.30pm during Friday prayers, locals said
Multiple people killed and injured, officials said, though it appears at least 15 people were hurt
No group has claimed responsibility, but Nangarhar province is home to ISIS-K which has been behind a series of recent mosque bombings in Afghanistan
Today's attack appears unusual because locals said the target was a Sunni house of prayer. All previous attacks have hit Shia mosques.
On Wednesday, a spokesman for the Taliban intelligence service told reporters in Kabul that the agency has arrested close to 600 IS members, including key figures and financial supporters.
The spokesman, Khalil Hamraz, said at least 33 IS members have been killed in gun battles with Taliban security forces.
Provincial officials of the eastern Nangarhar province have confirmed the explosion in a mosque of Spin Ghar district but did not disclose the exact number of casualties.
Local officials and eyewitnesses said that the blast killed at least three people and wounded 15 more.
The explosion has targeted worshipers in a mosque during Friday prayer and those killed include the Imam of the mosque too.
Though the local officials did not say anything about the nature of the explosion, eyewitnesses said that explosives were planted close to the loudspeaker of the mosque.
A twitter post claimed to show a photo of one of the bombs that didn't go off with electronics keyed to fire when the loudspeaker began to broadcast the call to prayer.
No one has claimed responsibility for the explosion yet but the ISIS-K fighters have been targeting mosques in Afghanistan.
This is third mosque being targeted be the ISIS-K affiliates since the Taliban takeover on August 15.
Sultan Recep Tayip Erdogan I ‘the much beloved’ appears to still be a tad upset about the 15 Arabs they accused of being Mossad spies after 200 MIT agents spent a year tracking them.
[IsraelTimes] Israel rejects spying claim as episode appears to be escalating into diplomatic incident, with judge defying expectations he’d deport pair who photographed Erdogan palace.
A Ottoman Turkish court on Friday extended by 20 days the remand of an Israeli couple detained for photographing the palace of President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important... , with local authorities saying they suspected them of espionage, as the episode appeared to be expanding into a diplomatic spat between the frequently sparring allies.
The Foreign Minister Yair Lapid spoke with the family on Friday and updated them on efforts to release the couple, saying Israel had requested an urgent consular visit of the couple. In a statement, the ministry said the couple "do not work for any Israeli agency."
The decision to keep Mordy and Natali Oknin behind bars surprised Israeli officials, who had been under the assumption that the court would order their immediate deportation from the country at Friday’s remand hearing. The detention of the tour guide who was arrested with the couple was extended until Sunday.
Ottoman Turkish prosecutors told the court that the couple is suspected of espionage, claiming they not only photographed Erdogan’s palace but also adjacent security checkpoints and cameras, even supposedly highlighting them before sending the photos to a third party.
The couple, both of whom are bus drivers, insists they only photographed the palace because they were enamored by it and sent the photos to their relatives, not knowing that doing so is illegal.
"They are not spies," a lawyer for the Israelis told the judge on Friday.
"All in all, this is a couple [who are] bus drivers. I ask that you release them immediately to their home in Israel," the lawyer said. But the prosecution insisted to the contrary, and the judge ruled in the latter’s favor three hours later.
An unidentified source familiar with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... ’s legal system told Channel 12, "It is clear that this was a political, rather than a legal, decision... It is clear that elements in Erdogan’s circle exerted pressure and briefed him as if these were Mossad agents on an Israeli mission."
The defendants’ lawyer, Nir Yaslovizh, blasted the decision afterward in a statement, calling the ruling "bizarre and unacceptable."
Relatives of the Oknins in Modiin were hit hard by the news after being assured that the episode would come to an end on Friday.
"The atmosphere at home is very bad. The little boy keeps asking, ’Where is Mom?'" Natali Oknin’s brother Eran Perry told Channel 12. He called on Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid to intervene on his relatives’ behalf.
The family only found out that the two had been arrested when they did not return home on Tuesday as scheduled.
"These are simple and innocent people who photographed the palace from a distance. Google has better photos. It is immediately clear that there is no espionage here," a source quoted by Ynet said.
After taking the photo, the woman had sent it to a family WhatsApp group with the caption: "Such a nice house."
[Garowe] A suspected car jacket wallah targeted an African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... Mission Forces [AMISOM] convoy in Mogadishu, witnesses said, leaving at least two innocent civilians dead and scores injured.
Reports indicate that the suicide bomber detonated an kaboom at the busy Banadir junction in Mogadishu where the military convoy of AU forces was passing by at the time of the unfortunate incident.
Preliminary reports indicate that two civilians went titzup while scores of others were maimed. The injured person has been rushed to nearby hospitals for emergency treatment, multiple reports indicate.
The convoy, sources said, had just left Villa Baidoa in the outskirts of the capital Mogadishu. There is a Somali National Army [SNA] Base within the vicinity of the area where the earth-shattering kaboom took place.
AMISOM troops based in Mogadishu work closely with the SNA soldiers in the fight against al-Shabaab ...... the personification of Somali state failure... . At times, the Somali troops get sophisticated training from the AU forces, which have been keeping peace in Somalia for over a decade.
At the time Garowe Online was going on air, no group has taken responsibility for the latest attack. However, man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... al-Shabaab bandidosturbans are known for such attacks, mostly targeting security forces, government officials, and innocent civilians.
The AU forces have been assisting Somali National Army in the fight against al-Shabaab and have often been targeted by the hard boys. The bandidosturbans control large swathes of rural central and southern Somalia.
The explosion comes at the time the AU peace committee is meeting the Somali government over the future of AMISOM in the country. Somalia said it's ready to negotiate with AU over the proposal to have a joint mission with United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... in Somalia.

[KavkazUzel] The Fifth Cassation Court in Pyatigorsk refused to satisfy the complaint in the case of the Chechen blogger Islam Nukhanov, convicted in 2020, but reduced the term of his detention, the Memorial Human Rights Center * reported today.
The "Caucasian Knot" wrote that Islam Nukhanov was detained after an attempt to publish a video about the luxurious living conditions of Chechen officials. At the same time, he was accused of storing cartridges. After six months of detention, on October 1, 2020, the court issued an unprecedented decision for Chechnya - Nukhanov was released under house arrest.
However, two hours later, after returning home, officers from the Federal Penitentiary Service again came for Nukhanov. The next day, the court suddenly considered his case, sentencing him to four years in prison. Human rights defenders filed a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights, stating that Nukhanov was convicted on the basis of confessions extracted under torture.
The siloviki accused Nukhanov of having links with blogger Tumso Abdurakhmanov, but Abdurakhmanov himself denied this. The criminal prosecution of Islam Nukhanov is a "show flogging" for all residents of Chechnya trying to expose the authorities, he said.
Blogger Islam Nukhanov, like Tumso, was prosecuted in Chechnya after attempting to raise a socially significant issue, said Novaya Gazeta journalist Yelena Milashina. YouTube users in the comments to Nukhanov's video demanded that he be released.
The cassation appeal in the case of a 29-year-old resident of Chechnya Islam Nukhanov was considered today by the Fifth Cassation Court in Pyatigorsk. The court rejected the cassation appeal in the case of Nukhanov on illegal possession of weapons and an attack on a security officer. At the same time, the cassation court decided to reduce the term of Nukhanov's detention by four months - to three years and eight months, the Memorial Human Rights Center * reported today.
Human rights activists also intend to seek an investigation into the abduction and torture of Nukhanov and illegal imprisonment. On October 2, 2020, the court released Nukhanov under house arrest, and officers of the Federal Penitentiary Service were illegally taken back two hours later, according to today's message on the center's website.

[NY Post] Well.....duh
In its conflict with Hamas in May, Israel endured a barrage of rockets — as well as war-crime accusations. Iron Dome intercepted most of the former. The latter are more dangerous, for Israel and even the United States.
After reviewing the Israeli Defense Forces’ operations during the Gaza conflict as retired senior US military officers, we find these accusations spurious — fed by Hamas’ disinformation and a widespread misunderstanding of the Law of Armed Conflict, or LOAC. These dynamics could soon feature in conflicts involving the US military.
Delegitimizing Israeli operations — not military victory — was one of Hamas’ main objectives in this conflict. "The real crimes," Hamas’ spokesperson told the media, "were committed by [Israel] targeting civilians ... killing more than 100 children and women and demolishing buildings."
With such false claims, Hamas casts any civilian casualty as illegal. Unfortunately, many in the media and public embraced this false narrative.
"Destroying a civilian residence sure seems like a war crime," comedian John Oliver opined on his show. Seeming like a war crime and being one are quite different.
LOAC requires militaries to distinguish between — and only attack — military, not civilian, targets. Commanders are obliged to make a good-faith effort to take all feasible precautions to mitigate civilian risk.
These rules do not preclude unavoidable civilian casualties. It is a sad but undeniable reality of war that international law tolerates harm to civilians if it’s not deliberately inflicted, caused by indiscriminate attacks and avoidable with feasible precautions.
In our professional opinion, Israeli actions in Gaza reflected a consistent and good-faith commitment to respect and implement these LOAC principles.
IDF military legal advisers vetted all proposed targets. Its commanders took all feasible precautionary measures, at times implementing more than the law required as a matter of policy. The IDF dropped leaflets, placed phone calls and sent text messages warning Gazan civilians in advance of airstrikes.
Small "knock on the roof" munitions delivered further warning. We saw footage of the IDF waiting for civilians to clear a building — and of commanders calling off strikes when they did not.
These precautions came at a cost. They often allowed enemy fighters to escape. They also tied up Israeli aircraft, reducing the number of targets that could be monitored or struck. The IDF accepted these costs because of its commitment to protecting civilians.

[IsraelTimes] Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of former US president Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... , was indicted Friday on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress after he defied a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.
Sometime friend, anyway. And sometimes not, or so it has appeared.
The Justice Department said Bannon, 67, was indicted on one count for refusing to appear for a deposition last month and the other for refusing to provide documents in response to the committee’s subpoena. He is expected to surrender to authorities on Monday and will appear in court that afternoon, a law enforcement official told the AP. The person was granted anonymity to discuss the case.

This is terrifying. It's nothing more than a political persecution. Banning has not been charged with any crime. The sixtus-Janissaries were guilty of nothing more than trespass -- and maybe lese-majeste in the form of putting their muddy boots on La Pelouse's sacred desk.
And since when does Congress have such power?
Compare this to the contempt shown for the nation by all the Deep State vermin who refused to respond to Devin Nunes' demands when he was in Congress.
This is fascism, in a Woke ferret-face. How much longer will we stand for this?

Attorney General Merrick Garland Merrick Garland said Bannon’s indictment reflects the Justice Department’s "steadfast commitment" to ensuring that the department adheres to the rule of law.
Bullshit. Hey, Garland, how many FBI agents were at the Capitol to provoke that riot? Where is the "rule of law" for them? How about if a Congressional committee subpoenaed the DoJ for documents related to that little incident? And what about Fast and Furious? Remember that? Can we see those documents?

[Al Ahram] President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi stressed to Tunisian PM Najla Bouden on Friday Egypt's support for Tunisia and the efforts exerted by President Kais Saied and the newly formed government to achieve stability and development for the Tunisian people.
The Egyptian president also conveyed to the Tunisian prime minister Egypt's readiness to both "harness all available capabilities to help Tunisia achieve security and development," and develop bilateral cooperation in order to consolidate the historical ties between the two countries.
The Egyptian president and the Tunisian prime minister are in Gay Paree to attend the international conference on Libya, which aims to ensure that the Libyan sides stick to the agreed upon plan to hold elections in December as a key step toward ending the decade-old crisis in the country.
In October, President Saied appointed Bouden to head a new cabinet, nearly three months after he dismissed the government of Hichem Mechichi and suspended the activities of parliament.
Egypt has repeatedly affirmed its support for Saied's decisions, calling them "historic."
For her part, PM Bouden expressed appreciation for Egypt's support to her country as well as Egypt's "vital role in maintaining security and stability regionally," Presidential Spokesman Bassam Rady said.
She said her country cherishes the "close and distinguished relations with Egypt at the formal and popular levels," expressing Tunisia's interest in "benefiting from the Egyptian success story under the inspiring leadership of the President El-Sisi" through bilateral coordination in all fields, especially in on the economic and security levels.
The two sides affirmed the joint political will to strengthen the framework of cooperation, maximize communication channels, and exchange information on combating terrorism, Rady added.
El-Sisi and Bouden also exchanged views on a number of regional issues of mutual interest, including the latest developments on Libya.
They agreed to boost Egyptian-Tunisian coordination to end the crisis in Libya, given that both countries share borders with the country, and also in light of the fact that Tunisia is the current representative of Arab countries on the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... Security Council (UNSC).
They stressed that such coordination aligns with the will of the Libyan people by backing national institutions and efforts to achieve security and stability, as well as preserve the unity and illusory sovereignty of Libya.
El-Sisi and Bouden also emphasised the importance of implementing the relevant UN and international decisions in terms of holding the Libyan elections on time and the exit of all foreign forces and mercenaries from Libya.
El-Sisi and Bouden also tackled the latest development concerning the decade-old dispute between Egypt and Æthiopia over the Grand Æthiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD).
The Egyptian president thanked Tunisia for supporting the Egyptian stance on the importance of reaching a comprehensive and legally binding agreement on filling and operating the Renaissance Dam.
In September, the UNSC adopted a Tunisia-drafted presidential statement encouraging Egypt, Sudan and Æthiopia "to resume negotiations" to swiftly reach a "mutually acceptable and binding agreement on the filling and operation" of the GERD.

Rohin adds his bit of snark on the film:
[ColonelCassad] And more about the Yemeni war. It turns out that the Emirates made a full-length feature film about the war in Yemen.
Well, as the emirates - they wrote out from France the director Pierre Morel (known for the film "Hostage", where the elderly Liam Neeson piled on his daughter's kidnappers), who in the Emirates quickly blinded a teary tale about fagots about how the patrol of the Emirates got into an ambush, and the rest of the Emirate heroically rescued them, overcoming the sinister Houthis, who tried to prevent the rescue of Private Al-Ryan from Abu Dhabi, who somehow got into Yemen, where no one invited him.
Of course, all this is political agitation (what is actually happening with the MRAPs in Yemen, you can easily look at the numerous videos of real hostilities), designed to somehow justify the participation of the UAE in the intervention against Yemen and attempts to seize part of its territory from Yemen. including Socotra Island and Abyan and Hadhramaut provinces. But in the film, of course, they will not tell about it. It is quite understandable that the film will not have much success.
The very polished trailer makes a lot of promises about the ethos of the Emirati military. Were it not for the language, one would think they were American soldiers.
[FoxNews] Four members of the MS-13 street gang were arrested by Border Patrol agents within a 14-hour span this week along with two migrants with previous arrests for alleged sex crimes, authorities said Friday.
Agents assigned to the Rio Grande Valley in Texas say the four migrants were actively involved in the notorious street gang. Two of them had previously been deported, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a news release.
No further information was provided. Fox News has reached out to the CBP.
On Friday, six migrants were taken into custody near the border city of Roma, CBP said. One of them had an open warrant out of Orange County, Florida for lascivious battery.
A 37-year-old Guatemalan citizen was arrested Tuesday by border agents after having illegally entered the U.S. near McAllen, Texas, border officials said. A record check revealed he had a previous conviction for lewd lascivious behavior toward a child younger than 16. He was sentenced to 21 months in prison in that case, the CBP said.
The apprehensions come amid a surge of illegal crossings as the federal government struggles to secure the border. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has criticized the Biden administration for the influx of migrants into his state.
As a result, Abbott said he has dispatched National Guard troops and the state Department of Public Safety to the border to contain migrant caravans crossing into the U.S. In addition, the state has put a $250 million down payment on new border wall construction.
On Tuesday, Texas authorities arrested a suspected 17-year-old human smuggler attempting to bring seven migrants into the U.S. on a raft illegally. Rafts have been seen coming across the border for several months without much resistance.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, the lawyer of Malik Rzayev, accused of drug trafficking, said on November 5 that he could not get a meeting with his client. Rzayev's relatives do not agree with the accusations and believe that the real reason for the arrest is his criticism of the Azerbaijani authorities.

Helicopter Money. This is what the “dims” did and it raised inflation.. You have Milton Friedman to thank
“The basic principle is that if a central bank wants to raise inflation and output in an economy that is running substantially below potential, one of the most effective tools would be simply to give everyone direct money transfers. In theory, people would see this as a permanent one-off expansion of the amount of money in circulation and would then start to spend more freely, increasing broader economic activity and pushing inflation back up to the central bank’s target.”

[ColonelCassad] Today the Saudi coalition has swiftly scrambled southward, surrendering part of the western coast of Yemen to the Houthis.
The Saudi coalition surrendered all the gains of the 2018 operation in one day after three years.
In a day, Hodeidah from the front-line city sharply became a deep rear.
In the battles for this piece of road with gates alone, the Saudi coalition lost several dozen AFVs and several hundred people.
In fact, the attack on Hodeidah (in 2018) as the last major offensive by the Saudi coalition in Yemen with decisive goals.
After being defeated in the Battle of Hodeidah, the Saudis lost the operational initiative in the war and it passed to the Houthis, who, already in 2019, began to regularly conduct offensive operations against the extended front of the invaders.
The undated video begins as an officer is attempting to detain a man on a MacDougal Street sidewalk near Greenwich Village
The detainee appears to attempt to get up when the officer, aided by a second arriving as the man gets up, pushes him back down to the ground
Once they have him under control, the officer is seen throwing a half dozen punches at the victim's midsection
As the officers get up to give the man space, he appears motionless and multiple people can be heard saying he's been 'knocked out'
Spokespersons for the NYPD, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Mayor-elect Eric Adams did not respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment on the incident
The incident comes as homelessness in the city has reached its highest levels since the Great Depression. Overcrowded homeless shelters have led to encampments sprouting up in nearby Tompkins Square Park, as well as under bridges spanning the East River.
The number of single adults sleeping in municipal shelters spiked by 103 percent in the past decade - from 25,000 to 50,000 - and has continued to soar since the beginning of the pandemic, according to the New York Coalition for the Homeless.
There were 47,979 homeless people - including 14,881 homeless children - sleeping each night in the NYC municipal shelter system in August 2021, according to the agency. In the same month, there were 18,357 single adults in shelters.
The coalition added that thousands of homeless people sleep throughout the streets, subways and other public spaces but there is 'no accurate measure' of such data and city surveys 'significantly underestimate the number of unsheltered homeless New Yorkers'.

I recommend outdoor fenced areas with latrines and shelter-halves for those sleeping on the street. Only personal clothing allowed. The same for our southern border with one exit into Mexico.

But I am sure the Biden Junta is already shopping for another Federal Judge/Court and/or looking at a new mandate angle.
BUT GIVEN WE FACTUALLY KNOW:
The C-19 shot wears off in a few months. Then booster after booster shot is required for "some" degree of claimed protection.
That areas/Cities with 90%+ VAX rates still have HIGH infection rates.
The C-19 VAX has a 1600% HIGHER Serious Adverse Reaction rate that ANY commonly given inoculation over the last 60 years.
Despite being claimed safe by the Biden Junta, Pfizer still have Immunity from civil lawsuits regarding the C-19 VAX.
Question:
So what is in this VAX that is so damn important for them to want to FORCE it into us?
Or, is it just the Power to control and $$$,$$$,$$$,$$$,$$$ it generated for the Democrats?

Ah, the 'Good Old Days' when you had time and men to waste to weed out the incompetent or just plain individuals promoted well above their Peter Principle skills through peacetime bureaucratic career ladders.
[FoxNews] The Biden administration attempted to distance itself on Friday from controversy surrounding the National School Boards Association and its efforts to coordinate with the Department of Justice and the White House prior to sending a letter to President Joe Biden which compared concerned school parents to domestic terrorists.
Asked by Fox News whether anyone at the White House requested DOJ to write the memo from Attorney General Merrick Garland or work with NSBA to craft a letter to the president, a White House official said the situation "has nothing to do with curriculum."
"It is standard practice across every administration for White House officials to meet with outside stakeholders for listening sessions on a range of issues," the spokesperson said, adding that it "makes sense to ask for examples of increasingly common threats of violence if an alarm is sounded about such a trend, regardless of circumstances."
The spokesperson also claimed that the White House had no involvement in the issuance of the DOJ memo, saying the "DOJ chose to take this approach on their own."
That memo instructed the FBI to take the lead on a task force to address threats against school officials and create a centralized way to report such threats.
"We contacted DOJ after we were notified about these threats of violence because we were concerned about the pattern, and we discussed policy – not enforcement," the White House official said.
Emails provided to Fox News show that NSBA had coordinated with the White House for weeks before it sent a letter to Biden.
“Curses! Foiled again!”
Viola Garcia, the NSBA president whom the Department of Education later named to a federal board, sent a memo to NSBA members on Oct. 11 (but dated Oct. 12), providing a timeline of the NSBA's interaction with the White House ahead of the letter to Biden, which the NSBA sent on Sept. 29.
Five days later, on Oct. 4, the DOJ issued a memo directing law enforcement to investigate threats to school boards. On Oct. 22, the NSBA issued an apology for the letter.
DOJ officials tell Fox News they are standing by Garland's congressional testimony.

Remember when President Trump faced a Democrat-controlled House and Senate, and they kept sending articles of impeachment through? Even with a bunch of Never Trump Republicans in the Senate, they couldn’t achieve their goal.
While it only takes a simple majority of the House to vote to impeach, it takes a 2/3rds majority of the Senate to actually convict after the show trial. And while that emotionally satisfying battle is going on, the Senate cannot address any other business, like voting to roll back the nonsense the Democrats passed in 2021 and 2022.

The Kamenets district near the well-known national park Belovezhskaya Pushcha is a rather deserted area on the Belarusian-Polish border. There's only one border crossing here to get to neighboring Poland legally. But, the Pestschatka checkpoint hardly sees any traffic nowadays due to coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it.

[REGNUM] Events in Ethiopia may have a negative impact on security in neighboring countries of this African region, reports BBC Africa on November 12.
The publication published the opinion of a senior US military official in Africa, General William Zana, who explained the possible consequences of this conflict.
In particular, Ethiopia keeps troops in neighboring Somalia, supporting the local government.
"If the internal conflict in Ethiopia forces it to make a decision to withdraw troops from Somalia, five more African Union countries will also be affected. And in Somalia, it will be possible for violent extremist organizations to become more active," Zana said.
In addition, he expressed concern about the possibility of military action by Egypt against the "Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam" (GERD) in the event of deepening instability in Ethiopia.
As reported by IA REGNUM , the armed conflict in Tigray in northern Ethiopia has been going on since November 2020. Fighting is between supporters of the NPLT party,
...the Tigray People's Liberation Front. Surprisingly, they’re Marxists, but they’re special, ethnic Tigrayan Marxists who annoyed the other ethnic groups by organizing the country to benefit themselves...
which has been in power in Ethiopia for almost 30 years, and the government of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
... Africa's youngest leader at only 44, he won a Nobel prize for democratic reforms and for making peace with Eritrea. A non-Tigrayan former soldier who once fought alongside the Tigrayans against Eritrea, he took over in 2018, replacing the Tigrayan-led government that had dominated politics since rebels from their region toppled Ethiopia’s Marxist military rulers in 1991...
I've been watching this for the purely selfish reason of wanting good Ethiopian coffee. As far as I can tell the ruling elite are a minority in the capital and several other towns. They have been cruel, thieving and nasty to everybody. Tigray just exploded first. Everybody not in the capital and a couple urban centers hate them. It is sort of like the Blue City Cores of the Democrats going a 1000 times more nuts then they currently are and totally exploiting and crushing the rest of the nation. It makes a kind of strange sense. Ethiopia was a communist dictatorship for many years. The center core of the cities are likely children and relatives of the previous government's communist civil servants and party members. If the Democratic Party Leadership had brains they would learn something from the mess in Ethiopia.
The thought occurs that if the Democratic party leadership had brains, they’d be Republicans.

[NewFrontInfo] Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov announced Ukraine's plans to additionally purchase Turkish Bayraktar drones in 2022.
Reznikov noted that "the Turkish partners have publicly announced" that they are taking Ukrainian engines for the Bayraktar equipment.
According to him, despite the fact that the drones will be manufactured in Turkey, they will still be Ukrainian, "in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine."
The Minister of Defense of Ukraine stressed that the devices "will be used", since Ukraine must defend its independence.
[ToloNews] The father of Abdulrauf, an Afghan child who was kidnapped last year, said that recently the kidnappers sent him more videotapes and warned him via text messages that if he does not pay they would kill his son.
"We urge the Islamic Emirate to find and release Abdurauf as soon as possible," said Mohammad Nabi, Abdulrauf’s father.
Meanwhile, ...back at the pond, the enormous newt was trying to decide if Gloria was edible... a spokesperson for the Ministry of Interior said that the Badri unit
...Badri 313, named after some ancient historical Muslim battle, is the Taliban’s extra special forces, trained by the Haqqani Network and probably Pakistan’s army, dressed in Western-style camo uniforms with tan suede boots, helmet cameras, knee pads, and American M4s at the ready One suspects something interesting is behind them turning their hands to finding a kidnapped child...
is attempting to apprehend the kidnappers of this child.
"Islamic Emirate forces, Intelligence, the Ministry of Interior and other forces are trying to find the child," said Saeed Khosti, spokesperson for the Ministry of Interior.
Abdulrauf was kidnapped by kidnappers in Mazar-e-Sharif last year when he was traveling to school from home. Since then the kidnappers have sent many video and audio tapes of him to his family demanding $1.2 million in exchange for his release.
Abdulrauf’s father said that he has been targeted by the kidnappers three times.
In the latest incident, a month ago, four hand grenades were thrown at him, in which he and 12 relatives were maimed. "Twelve people, including me, were maimed and a 12-year boy was paralyzed," said Mohammad Nabi, Abdurauf’s father.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson, owner of In-N-Out, has reportedly had a "productive conversation" with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis following the closure of multiple restaurant locations in California’s Bay Area following their refusal to enforce the state's vaccine requirements for customers.
DeSantis press secretary Christina Pushaw said that Snyder-Ellingson and the DeSantis had a "productive conversation" on Monday about the possibility of the burger chain expanding to Florida, according to SFGate.
"Vaccination should be a personal choice to protect oneself from serious illness, not a mandatory condition of participating in society," Pushaw wrote in an email. "There is no reason for a fast food restaurant to be forced to require proof of vaccination from customers."
Pushaw noted though that one barrier to the chain coming to Florida is the fact that all their suppliers are based on the West Coast, with no In-N-Outs being located farther east than Texas.
And their ingredients (beef) are fresh, never frozen

Good name for fast food these days. I never touch the stuff. Especially Chinese food. Now there is one establishment I can tell many stories. I have seen things you would not believe. Just think of the work ethics of the workers, especially the youth.

In-N-Out absolutely sets the standard for a principled family owned business operating at scale that genuinely prioritizes staff and customers. It's one of the best stories in business you never hear about because there are no outside investors and all stores are company owned.

Same for Chick-Fil-A.
Excellent product, consistent quality, superbly managed, financially sound as well. Always cars lined up 40-deep: Everyone loves the food, even the libs

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Israel will bypass some of its Arab towns in transporting ground forces to future war fronts, a senior army general said on Friday, citing lessons from sectarian violence that erupted in the country in May during festivities in the 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 Hamaswith 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... Strip.
Arabs, most of them Moslem, constitute a fifth of Israel’s population. Many identify as Paleostinian. Some mounted protests against the Gaza campaign that spiraled into bloody street confrontations with police and Jewish citizens.
Major-General Yitzhak Turgeman, chief of logistics for Israel’s military, said it had since marked out 1,600 km (1,000 miles) of dirt tracks which could serve as wartime alternatives to roads, and had set up new anti-riot units to protect convoys.
"I’m really concerned about... the impact of violent mostly peaceful disturbances on internal security and movement of transport convoys," Turgeman told Maariv newspaper in an interview.
He said major deployments were now unlikely to happen through Wadi Ara, a valley highway among close clusters of Arab towns that leads to the northern fronts with Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity™, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade... and Syria.
"In wartime, the IDF (Israel Defense Force) will do what is right in order to brings its units to the war theatre as quickly as possible, and we have enough alternatives," Turgeman said.
The remarks came after video clips on social media showed army vehicles wending through Umm al-Fahm, an Israeli Arab city, during a drill. The municipality issued an open letter condemning the presence as "unacceptable and hurtful to residents’ feelings."
Israeli Arabs have long complained of discrimination and neglect by the state. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s governing coalition, which includes an Arab Islamist party, has sought to mend relations with a crackdown on crime plaguing the community.
Bennett’s internal security minister, Omer Barlev, described police operations to seize illegal firearms in Israeli Arab communities as a further safeguard for future military deployments.
In the absence of such actions, a war could see "100 armed (Israeli) Arabs suddenly go down to this or that road or artery and hold up for 48 hours a division that has to deploy on the Lebanese border within 24 hours," Barlev told Army Radio last month.

[KavkazUzel] A participant in the land conflict killed the imam of the mosque and wounded two people in the village of Ameterkmakhi.
According to local authorities, the attacker was also killed, TASS reported today.
A resident of the village of Ameterkmakhi opened fire from a machine gun, the cause was a land dispute.
"One of the opponents, the imam of the local mosque, was killed. The attacker himself died from a knife wound inflicted by a local resident who tried to stop him," he quoted the Interfax dispatch service today as saying. Two people received gunshot wounds and are in the hospital.
According to the source, several firearms were seized at the site of the shooting, including a Kalashnikov assault rifle. All weapons are unregistered, indicated in the publication.
62-year-old villager Asadulla Rakhmanov, previously convicted of illegal possession of weapons and ammunition, shot Imam Abid Magomedov with a Kalashnikov assault rifle, and then opened fire on his relatives - Arip and Magomed. One of the wounded rushed at the attacker and stabbed him in the neck, killing him on the spot. The victims were hospitalized, they are operated on in a local hospital, Telegram-channel "112" reported.
According to the Telegram channel Mash, the imam was killed right in the mosque. A resident of a Dagestan village arrived with a machine gun, a grenade launcher and a pistol, Baza reported on the Telegram channel.
All participants in the conflict are local residents, said the head of the local administration Tagir Tagirov. "They know each other. I can't say anything about the reasons - maybe the land issue, but there were no conflicts before. Now there are all services, Rosgvardia. They cordoned off the houses, everyone is working," Tagirov was quoted as saying on the Pozym Telegram channel.
The police were not involved in the case, the investigation was immediately taken up by the Investigative Committee, a source in the Ministry of Internal Affairs noted.
"There is a murder. Nobody was hiding, the criminal investigation department was not involved in the search and detention of suspects. Therefore, the Investigative Committee immediately connected," the source said in the publication.
"Caucasian Knot" has no confirmation of the information provided by Telegram channels. On the website of the Dagestan Directorate of the Investigative Committee, as of 17.00 Moscow time on November 12, there is no information about the incident in Ameterkmakhi.

This sort of actions and statements are not necessary and futile, and probably going to fuel anti American sentiments in the Horn of Africa
Because the continuous use of European trained and educated state department and associate ‘’think tanks’’ this will be another blunder in USA foreign policies that China, Russia and Iran going to capitalize on.. China has various times directly exploited local conflicts to spur external solutions that bring it more control and power and thus monopolizing Africa’s rich natural resources.
China need a strong foothold in the Horn of Africa is a great game of redrawn Middle Eastern Alliances, China and its Iranian Allies will be sitting on one of the most important pressure points for the region. Saudi Arabia will be in direct line of fire, but more importantly, as China strengthens its grip on the Horn the world’s oil will be up for grabs. Essentially, between the South China Sea and the Red Sea, the CCP will be in near control of the most important shipping lanes in the world.
Islamic Emirate to Form Military Court
[ToloNews] Officials of the Islamic Emirate said that they would investigate military cases and that no military personnel "even at a high position" would be granted judicial immunity.
The supreme leader of the Islamic Emirate, Hibatullah Akhundzada, ordered the formation of the military court within the structure of the current government.
Islamic Emirate’s front man, Zabiullah Mujahid, said that despite the existence of a military court in the previous government, the cases of the military officials remain unsolved.
"The Islamic Emirate considered filling this need, and therefore, we formed a military court. The cases belonging to this court will be investigated and it will be implemented under the Islamic structure," Mujahid said.
Based on the decree signed by the Islamic Emirate’s Supreme leader, Mawllavi Obaidullah Nizami has been appointed as head of the court. Mawllavi Sayed Agha and Mawllavi Zahid Akhundzada are appointed as judges.
The Islamic Emirate said that the court is authorized to investigate complaints against the staff of the defense and interior ministries as well as intelligence department.
"The decision of the military court will be accomplished after it is confirmed by the three courts (primary, appellate and supreme court)," said Inamullah Samangani, deputy front man for the Islamic Emirate.
However, death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... is the establishment of a military court effective considering the current situation in Afghanistan?
Military veteran Gen. Abdul Wahid Taqat gave his opinion: "It has benefits and problems at the same time. If the problems are solved, and it is used properly, everyone would be ready to refer to this court."
This comes as the cases against some former military officials, who were accused of corruption, have still remained closed.
Islamic Emirate Forbids Informal Courts Among Ranks
[ToloNews] The Islamic Emirate’s Purification Commission banned the use of informal courts within its forces' ranks, especially those deemed kangaroo courts in which people are tried and sentenced for desertion or other alleged crimes.
The commission on Friday held a gathering at the lower house of the parliament to coordinate its activities with provincial leaders.
The head of the commission, Latifullah Hakimi, ordered the forces of the Islamic Emirate to prevent the desertion court and "arbitrary operations." He also warned that those who cooperated with the ISIS group would not be granted immunity.
"If anyone become suspicious of cooperating with the ISIS... there is no immunity for them," he said.
"We started the investigation earlier to pursue inappropriate individuals or those who betray the (Islamic Emirate)," said Fathihullah Madani, head of Kabul intelligence.
The officials warned that those who disturb the people would be held accountable.
"Those evil elements who wanted to be placed among the Islamic Emirate forces have been prevented, " said General Shir Mohammad Sharif, deputy head of the commission.
After reports claimed that the forces related to the Islamic Emirate misbehaved toward the people in various parts of the country, the current government formed a commission to address the problems.
"Those who claim to be a member of the (Islamic Emirate) and bother the army, police or traders, will not be allowed to continue," said Mawllavi Azizullah Ghaznawi, a member of the commission.
[OneIndia] The National Investigation Agency has arrested 2 more persons in connection with the Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... terror conspiracy case. The two arrested persons have been identified as Rashid Muzaffar Ganaie and Nasir Mir, both residents of Sopore.
The case relates to the conspiracy hatched to undertake violent mostly peaceful acts of terror in Jammu and Kashmir and other major cities including Delhi by snuffies of the Lashkar-e-Tayiba, Hizbul Mujahideen

[FoxNews] A top general for the Marine Corps says the force is working to reinvent itself in an attempt "to reflect America" and the current values embraced by society today.
The remarks on an overhaul to address diversity and troop retainment in the Marine Corps were made by Gen. David Berger, commandant of the Marine Corps, in an interview with NPR's Morning Edition.
According to Berger, Marines will work "to reflect America, to reflect the society we come from," adding that the decision is not one related to being "woke" or politically correct.
Uh huh. I can feel your sarcastic response, dear Reader, though the precise words aren’t coming through.
"Our advantage militarily is on top of our shoulders," Berger said. "It's not actually our equipment. We are better than anybody else, primarily because we don't all think exactly alike. We didn't come from the same backgrounds."
Something the colour of one’s skin doesn’t have anything to do with pain, mud, killing people and breaking things — am I getting that right? No Marine left behind, too?
In his new plan, dubbed Talent Management 2030, Berger outlines how the force will work to improve recruitment efforts and increase career flexibility.
"The most important element of this report is the individual Marine," Berger stated in the document. "Transitioning to a talent management system will enable us to better harness and develop the unique skills and strengths of our Marines, improve the performance of our units in competition and combat, and ensure that we remain ‘most ready when the Nation is least ready,’ today and into the future."
The new plan will also work to ensure that the corps, as a whole, is "more intelligent, physically fit, cognitively mature, and experienced."
"The capabilities that we think we're going to need are a force that's able to operate much more distributed, much more spread out than perhaps we're accustomed to in the past, using a different set of technologies than we had five or 10 or 15 years ago," he said.
Physical fitness is also a focus in the plan, noting that boot camp will work to implement the "the same challenge for officers and for Officer Candidate School." Berger also noted that the change would take time and will not happen overnight.
"We are a purely combat force," he said. "We were built under a different set of circumstances, but that is changing."
An estimated 75% of troops leave the Marine Corps following their first four-year term.
Cut the political nonsense by 50%, and you’ll easily double retention...

The marines are known for tearing you down and rebuilding you as a Marine. If that doesn't change then throw all the soyboys into the Marines as they can handle. If they are gonna change their training, well that would be sad.

Platoon 1006. MCRD San Diego, Jan 1969 - I watched the first two weaklings melt by the end of day 1 and sit, blubbering, on the radiator of the receiving barracks. Several weeks later another folded up his blanket, went to the head and tried to cut his wrists with a bayonet. He was invalided out and SSG McBroom spent an hour the following afternoon on the correct procedure for bayonet sharpening and wrist slitting for max effect. Priceless...Semper Fi Old Corps!
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] In an interview with Prostasia's Noah Berlatsky, Old Dominion professor Allyn Walker justified feelings of pedophilia and the people who have them. Walker wants to destigmatize feelings of pedophilia, digs into the idea that pedophilia is simply a sexual orientation that a person should not act upon, and claims that trying to get pedophiles to not be pedophiles would be akin to "conversion therapy," which they say is "not at all effective." "they say"
Walker claims that there's a difference between sexual offenders and pedophiles, or as she terms them, "minor attracted persons." So-called MAPs, Walker said, can be attracted to minors regardless of whether or not they have gone through puberty. Their attraction to minors, Walker claims, is not immoral if they haven't acted on it.
Walker, who uses they/them pronouns, was speaking about the research in their new book, A Long Dark Shadow: Minor Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity, a book justifying the feelings of pedophiles. Walker is an assistant professor in the sociology and criminal justice department at Old Dominion University.
Courtesy of Besoeker, PJ Media has a reaction to this news:
Communist goal #26: Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as "normal, natural, and healthy."
The left is trying to normalize the idea of adult sex with children, and what better way to make pedophiles seem normal than to give them a nice name. Leftists are now referring to pedos as "MAPs" which is short for "minor-attracted persons." Don’t be fooled: a pedophile is a pedophile, no matter what the pinkos choose to call them.
That said, I can already see "LGBTM" on the not-too-distant horizon.
An assistant professor at Old Dominion University, Allyn Walker, a female-to-male transgender person, defended pedophiles in an interview with the Prostasia Foundation.

There is a grave and growing sickness afoot in the land. It seems as though everywhere I turn I hear about young people with serious mental issues. It’s happening to my child, who’s run away and is starting the process of transitioning from a girl to a boy. Thousands of families across the country are dealing with the same thing. It’s a statistical explosion. And all the dominant groups in our society (government, media, corporations, education, etc. ) just clap and say isn’t this wonderful. Awful.
