Oliver experienced an event in February 1959 that underscored her later aviation accomplishments. She was a passenger aboard Pan Am Flight 115, a Boeing 707 on a transatlantic flight from Paris to New York City when it dropped from 35,000 to 6,000 feet (10,700 to 1,800 m). It was February 3, 1959, the same day Buddy Holly died in an airplane crash. These events caused her to avoid flying for the next year, even turning down job offers, with the exception of auditioning for BUtterfield 8, if they were so short notice she could only travel by air. She eventually underwent hypnosis to overcome her fear of flying.[10]
In July 1964, local Los Angeles area news anchor Hal Fishman introduced her to personal flying when he took her on an evening flight over Los Angeles in a Cessna 172.[10] The experience motivated her to return the next day to the Santa Monica Airport to begin training for a private pilot certificate. In 1966, while preparing for her own transatlantic flight, she was a passenger in a Piper J-3 Cub when the pilot ran into wires while "show-boating";[10] the airplane flipped and crashed. She and the pilot escaped injury.[11]
In 1967, piloting her own Aero Commander 200, she became the fourth woman to fly a single-engine aircraft solo across the Atlantic Ocean and the second to do it from New York City. Although she was attempting to fly to Moscow, her odyssey ended in Denmark after the government of the Soviet Union denied her permission to enter its air space. She wrote about her aviation exploits and philosophy of life in an autobiography published in 1983.[10]
In 1968, she was contacted by Learjet to see if she was interested in obtaining a type rating on one of their jets with the intent to set record flights for them. She earned the rating and even flew some charters (having by that time acquired a commercial pilot certificate in single- and multiengine land airplanes), but did not fly any record flights in their jets.[10]
In 1970, Oliver co-piloted a Piper Comanche to victory in the 2760-mile transcontinental race known as the "Powder Puff Derby", which resulted in her being named Pilot of the Year. The pilot was Margaret Mead (not the famous anthropologist), an experienced pilot who had flown in several derbies with different co-pilots. In 1972, her training for a glider rating was chronicled for an episode of the television series The American Sportsman and the segment aired in March 1973.[12]
According to the FAA Registry, the glider rating was issued to Oliver on July 21, 1972. It was her last rating. The registry shows her to have earned commercial pilot ratings for airplane single-engine land, airplane multiengine land, instrument airplane, and private privileges for glider. Her last aviation medical examination was in May 1976; therefore, she could not legally pilot any aircraft except gliders after May 1978, marking the end of her piloting of powered aircraft.[13]

Two blondes are on a road trip down south. They see a sign for Pascagoula. They agree they can't figure out how to pronounce it, so they decide to pull over and ask. As it's lunch time, they stop at a drive thru. The blonde who's driving asks "How do you pronounce the name of this place?" Her passenger says "Say it slow so we can figure it out."
The guy at the window says "Burrrrr-gerrrr Kiiiinggggg."

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Eight people were shot, four fatally, Tuesday morning in a mass shooting incident in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, Chicago police said.
Chicago police officers responded just before 5:45 a.m. to the intersection of 62nd and Morgan streets for a reported shooting.
Keep In mind Chicago gun control is so strict that Illinois State Patrol cleared and issued Firearms licenses are NOT valid in the city.

Chicago does not have a GUN problem.
It has a problem with who has the Guns ----> The THUGS.
Because the Liberal/Socialist City politicians have made it near
impossible for HONEST CITIZENS to have a firearm for self-protection.
[American Thinker] Julie Kelly at American Greatness has been doing yeoman work exposing the crimes of the D.C. leftists who have targeted, arrested, and imprisoned hundreds of people who attended President Trump's speech and may have wandered toward or even into the Capitol on January 6. While there were some bad actors there that day, most likely Antifa/BLM interlopers or genuine lunatics, most of those present were actually invited into the Capitol building, as some of the video has shown.
Who ordered the Capitol police to stand down? Probably Pelosi, who very much wanted an "incident" with which to tar and feather Trump and his supporters. It was possibly a calculated set-up. Who else was involved remains to be seen, but as everyone knows by now, that event has been blown so far out of proportion as to no longer resemble at all what actually took place.
Unlike the Antifa/BLM riots that occurred across the country over the summer of 2020, the incident that day was like a schoolyard scuffle compared to the violent, destructive, and even murderous conflagrations that did hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to numerous cities. People need to be reminded that the left, most especially Kamala Harris, Biden, and the leftmedia in its entirety, either supported those "protests" or called them "mostly peaceful" — which they certainly were not.
As for those caught up in the January 6 mêlée, not one of those who have been locked up, some in solitary confinement was armed. Not one. The only person killed was Ashli Babbitt, shot to death by a Capitol Police officer. She was not armed. The officer who shot her has yet to be named; Babbitt's family is suing to learn his identity. Curious, since when a criminal is killed by police in the commission of a crime, the officer involved is usually identified and suspended immediately, even if the shooting was righteous. Something is very rotten in Denmark.
Tucker Carlson has addressed this ongoing crime. On Sunday night, Mark Levin's always spectacular program, Life, Liberty & Levin, addressed this untenable situation with Julie Kelly. To listen to them discuss the facts is to realize that, as Dorothy of The Wizard of Oz remarked, "I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."

The overlords in Washington NO LONGER FEAR that the conservative/informed part of the country has the will or the courage to confront DC again physically, or to defeat the rigged elections that now let them COUNT the votes. A 10 million person march on Washington, not to enter the city, but congest every major highway into and our of the metro-plex, that would wake them up. But noise and vain attempts to use the "system", not so much! That ship had sailed!

[NYP] The husband of slain Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt is demanding the feds identify the Capitol officer who fatally shot her during the Jan. 6 siege — because the ongoing "silence is deafening."
"Somebody up in DC knows, I think a lot of people know, but nobody is telling us," Aaron Babbitt told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Monday night.
The widower is suing to get the officer’s name, saying that it "never occurred" to him that a government employee would be allowed to shoot someone dead and still remain anonymous.
"I never expected to lose my wife to political violence," he told Carlson, saying it also "sickens me to hear what people say about Ashley" on social media.
"There has never been a person Ashli ran across in her daily life that didn’t love her," he insisted, blaming "social media craziness that people just run with a theory and just take off with it."
Babbitt’s attorney, Terrell Roberts, said it was his "belief" that the officer could be one who previously made headlines for leaving his loaded gun in a public restroom inside the Capitol in February 2019. He offered no reason, however, beyond Carlson noting rumors on social media.

[WAPO] - ... Vaccination is not always even within each state, and The Post found the connection between vaccine shots and coronavirus cases at the local level comparing more than 100 counties with low vaccination rates (fewer than 20 percent of residents vaccinated) and more than 700 with high vaccination rates (at least 40 percent vaccinated).
Counties with high vaccination had low coronavirus rates that are going down. In counties where few people are vaccinated, not only are there higher case rates, but the number of cases there also is growing. Graph at the link
[New York Post] The maniac allegedly responsible for the brutal rape of a Queens woman last year has been arrested — after authorities found him hiding out in Georgia, prosecutors announced Monday.
Rony Lopez Alvarez, 38, was dragged back to New York on Friday to face a slew of charges including rape and kidnapping in the horrifying January 2020 assault. Oh to wish he was actually dragged back
"For more than a year, the investigation into this brutal attack continued and intensified in an effort to find justice for the victim," said Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz.
[AP] Pulling a pistol from his waistband, the young man spun his human shield toward police.
"Don’t do it!" a pursuing officer pleaded. The young man complied, releasing the bystander and tossing the gun, which skittered across the city street and then into the hands of police.
They soon learned that the 9mm Beretta had a rap sheet. Bullet casings linked it to four shootings, all of them in Albany, New York.
And there was something else. The pistol was U.S. Army property, a weapon intended for use against America’s enemies, not on its streets.
The Army couldn’t say how its Beretta M9 got to New York’s capital. Until the June 2018 police foot chase, the Army didn’t even realize someone had stolen the gun. Inventory records checked by investigators said the M9 was 600 miles away -- safe inside Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
"It’s incredibly alarming," said Albany County District Attorney David Soares. "It raises the other question as to what else is seeping into a community that could pose a clear and present danger."

I’m sure that at least some of it was the idea that the experience would seduce them into going straight rather than going back, and I’m sure some of them have done so.
[Study Finds] ANCONA, Italy — The number of gluten intolerant children has doubled over the last 25 years, according to a new study. Children who suffer from celiac disease, one of the most common lifelong conditions in Europe, may not be getting the treatment they need because many have not been diagnosed, say scientists.
People with celiac disease produce antibodies to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye, ingredients which are commonly used to make a variety of tasty foods such as bread, cakes, biscuits, pasta and some breakfast cereals. If they accidentally feast on gluten packed foods, these antibodies damage the gut lining and can lead to symptoms, including bloating, stomach pain, diarrhea and fatigue.
It can also cause blood diseases, fertility problems and osteoporosis, if they do not follow a strict gluten-free diet. In children, the condition has also been linked to poor growth and can delay puberty.
Now, researchers at Marche Polytechnic University in Ancona, Italy, have found the problem is much bigger than previously thought.
"Our study showed that prevalence of celiac disease in schoolchildren has doubled over the past 25 years when compared to figures reported by our team in a similar school age group," says study author Elena Lionetti, a professor at the university, in a statement. "Our sentiment is that there are more cases of celiac disease than in the past, and that we could not discover them without a screening strategy."

I sat next to an antique fair vendor at an annual street sale in New Harmony Indiana on Saturday. We visited and 'people watched' for nearly four hours. Believe me when I tell you it's not just the children who appear to be at risk, and yes, I could stand to lose a few pounds as well.
#2
(people) may not be getting the treatment they need because many have not been diagnosed.
The more people diagnosed, the more the numbers are added in, then you say the numbers are double... well of course 1/50000 goes to 1/25000.
Could this be a genetic condition ? If so,it is not a disease, what is transmitted is a disease, what is an inherited trait is a physiological condition.

Professionally diagnosed vs self-diagnosed. That's prolly a rayciss question.

This thing is amusing given that my wife and I have to deal with it. She's not Celiac, she's physically allergic to wheat and barley. My allergy doctor asked her to describe the symptoms one time and when she was done he said, "That's Anaphylaxis, not celiac. Let's do some tests." Sure enough, wheat and barley. Especially barley. But, she will soon be starting oral immunotherapy for it:) So in a couple years, she may be able to eat normal again.

allergic person's responsibility to watch out for themselves Yes. I keep reading news items about people with life-threatening food allergies dying suddenly from their own indiscretions. One self-victim was found lying dead on the kitchen floor, her body propping the refrigerator door open. She had consumed a mouthful of someone's Chinese leftovers which (unknown to her) include shrimp, which she already knew could kill her. She had an Epi-pen on her, but died before she could use it or even call for help. Some food allergies are not for the heedless.

I do feel bad, because gluten free pasta is The Devil.
Gluten Free in Italy must be like lead eunuch for the Sultan's harem.
swksvolFF, the American Test Kitchen team has two gluten free cookbooks. The first one has a recipe for homemade pasta. I’ve not made it, but in my experience all of their recipes work. Check your library — mine has both volumes as well as a nice selection of their other cookbooks, if you don’t want to buy on spec. link.

hope that US Rep. Ilhan Omar and all defenders of Palestinian rights make effort to provide a proper and accurate description of the situation, as this is the starting point
"You're not serious until we see people frothing at the mouth on C-SPAN."
[Fox News] As American educational institutions continue to be called into question, a North Korean defector fears the United States' future "is as bleak as North Korea" after she attended one of the country's most prestigious universities.
Yeonmi Park has experienced plenty of struggle and hardship, but she does not call herself a victim.
One of several hundred North Korean defectors settled in the United States, Park, 27, transferred to Columbia University from a South Korean university in 2016 and was deeply disturbed by what she found.
"I expected that I was paying this fortune, all this time and energy, to learn how to think. But they are forcing you to think the way they want you to think," Park said in an interview with Fox News. "I realized, wow, this is insane. I thought America was different but I saw so many similarities to what I saw in North Korea that I started worrying."
Those similarities include anti-Western sentiment, collective guilt and suffocating political correctness.
Yeonmi saw red flags immediately upon arriving at the school.

[IsraelTimes] The Black Flag movement, which has led protests against Benjamin Netanyahu over the past year, puts up a giant display at Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square welcoming the new "change government."
The group writes "Together" alongside an Israel flag.
"The State of Israel has suffered collective trauma over the past two years," the movement says. "The elections, incitement and threat to democracy left us very fractured. The state is facing immense challenges on the economy and health, welfare and reducing social gaps. These are challenges we can only face if we are together."
"Only together will we be able to reinstate the social cohesion that had characterized Israel. From now on, we are all together."

I spoke to some sources, and some of them supported the change, some of them were rooting for Bibi's return and a permanent hand on the levers. None who supported the change seem to me to be the kind of men Israel needs at the moment. Naive is the term, I believe. It was a consolation to me that the moslem world does not look relieved and some even anticipate a nastier fistfcuk of some sort coming. Yet others are for 'the right of Paleostine to co-exist' Absolute Idiots is the term here.
What I perceive, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that these are people who, not appreciating the sheer gravity of being Israel, have their priorities and perspective all wrong. Some of them believe they are nationalists, but their idea of nation is only somewhere they can prosper or their ideas are accommodated, even at the cost of national security. Some are secularists and bleeding heart liberals egged on by their foreign acquaintances and nursing hollow doctrines of 'democracy' and 'equality'. But the most dangerous are the politicals, the ambitious ones who seek some part of what is most certainly not a pie; those who take Israel to be just another economy to be run like some socialist gravy train patterned on other failing States.
At the heart of all this nonsense lies the problem of good ol' parliamentary deem-oh-crazy, the anti-thesis of Darwin according to me.

I surely don't know, but just reading the news it seems to me that support for "Palestine" is more intense among the American left than it is among the Arab states.

It occurred to me, to wonder if this coalition has funding originating in the massive US stimulus/budget. Perhaps some re-routing through the Pakistani Gender Studies Group.
I'm not the only one who found it odd that after $200million got slated for the Paleos, they started lobbing missiles as soon as the check cleared and the money divvied.
Truly generous, and chosen thoughtfully to answer local needs.
[IsraelTimes] The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem delivers a portable bomb shelter to the site near the Erez Crossing where an IDF soldier was killed last month during the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, 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 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... ICEJ also hands over 120 fire-fighting suits, hats and boots for local first responders and volunteers and visits the Ashkelon factory where the portable bomb shelters are manufactured.
[IsraelTimes] Islamist movement activists convicted in trial relating to 2013 mass killing by security forces at pro-Morsi Islamist sit-in.
An Egyptian court on Monday upheld death sentence ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead... s for 12 Moslem Brüderbund members, including two big shots of the outlawed Islamist movement, a judicial official said.
The court of cassation also reduced sentences for 31 other Brotherhood members, in the trial relating to a 2013 mass killing by security forces at an Islamist sit-in, to life in prison, the official told AFP.
Those condemned to death were convicted of "arming criminal gangs which attacked residents and resisted coppers as well as possessing firearms and ammunition... and bomb-making material," the court said in its ruling. "But, but, yer Honor! We're Islamists. Those are religious relics!"
Other charges include "killing coppers... resisting authorities... and occupation and destruction of public property," it added.
The rulings are final and cannot be appealed, the judicial source said.
They’re knocking them down like ninepins.
Egypt’s former president Mohammed Morsi, head of the political wing of the Moslem Brüderbund, held power for a year before being ousted by the military in 2013.
Egyptian authorities outlawed the Islamist group in 2013 and have overseen a wide-ranging crackdown that has placed in durance vile I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! thousands of its supporters.
The original case, dating back to 2013, had over 600 defendants and is locally known as the "Rabaa clearing case."
Rabaa al-Adawiya Square in eastern Cairo was the site of a massive Islamist sit-in calling for the return of Morsi after his ouster.
Security forces raided and killed hundreds of people in a single day in August 2013, a few weeks after Morsi’s overthrow.
In 2018, an Egyptian court sentenced 75 of them to death and the rest to varying jail sentences, including 10 years for Morsi’s son Osama.
Human rights groups have dubbed it the deadliest incident in modern Egyptian history.
Authorities said at the time that Moslem Brüderbund members were armed and the forced dispersal was a vital counter-terrorism measure.
[Just The News] Texas Attorney General candidate George P. Bush on Monday said former President Trump is "the future of the Republican Party," as he carved his path toward trying to unseat incumbent Attorney General Ken Paxton, a fellow Republican.
"President Trump is the future of the party," Bush, a member of the Bush political family, said on the "John Solomon Reports" podcast. "We need to carry on the successes that we've had this past November in our state, helping to elect new down-ballot candidates and carry on this legacy."
Bush, now the Texas land commissioner, is the son of former Florida GOP Gov. Jeb Bush and the only member of the Bush political family — which includes former Presidents George H.W. Bush and son George W. Bush — to openly support Trump.
Whether Trump will back Bush is uncertain, considering Paxton has been among the former president's most public and loyal supporters.
Bush said Monday that he makes the argument "all the time" to family members that Trump is "the life of the Republican Party."
"He has brought a new sense of energy," Bush also said.

I met the guy once and have watched his career. While he is correct about Trump being the future, he has always seemed to me to lean towards whoever had power. Kinda like cocaine Mitch working with Trump, but once he "lost" Mitch leaned over to the other side. I see Pbush being like that. As a career politician, he will work with the party, but also lean to work with whoever holds the power.

[PJMedia] On Monday, Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon announced that The New York Times had agreed to drop its arguably defamatory attack on the Babylon Bee after the Bee sent multiple demand letters threatening a defamation lawsuit. Under the guise of reporting, the Times claimed that the Bee "frequently trafficked in misinformation under the guise of satire." While the Times originally agreed to weaken the attack somewhat, its updated story still suggested that the Bee is one of the "far-right misinformation sites that used ’satire’ claims to protect their presence on [Facebook]."
Yet the Times finally agreed to drop the attacks altogether on Friday.
"Big update here. The [New York Times] has responded to our demand letter by removing defamatory statements about us from their article. Here’s their email to our counsel notifying us of the correction," Dillon announced on Twitter Monday.

OK triple checked to see IF I was making another withdrawn from my already opened Feed the Rant-Kitty Bank. BUT there are dozens of MSM's carrying the article. So either Fred and Trailing Wife figured out how to plant fake news, or its legit.
OK, with that said given the revisionist reporting the NYT is well known for, removing or rewriting fake, misleading news articles is just normal article updating for them.
Question: Was NYT caving due to the obvious truth or driven more by declining revenue. Which means losing another slander suit, which would cost them double digit Millions and was unaffordable due to their bottom line.
Note: Avoiding the usual Google search burying techniques uncovers this: NY Times Ad Revenue Fell 26% Last Year, while Subscriptions Topped 7.5 Million. The New York Times' advertising revenue continued to drop in the fourth quarter of 2020, though the paper ended the year with 7.5 million subscriptions, according to the company's Q4 earnings report.Feb 4, 2021
Question: So somehow PAID readership is up, but Businesses are fleeing? So is the NYT using some type of misleading tactic like USA-2-Today has been using with its newly acquired collection of local papers to boost circulation appearances? Like Selling 6 month E-Subscriptions for $1.
Question:Say the numbers are true. Then why are businesses avoiding this subscription rich advertising cow?
#3
Paid readership? That's not how its calculated. They get credit for copies dumped at hotels, dormitories, and the like in the accounting process. It's like ballots in the 2020 election. They all have been gaming the process for decades cause ads are the revenue for sustaining their operation. Craiglist et al gutted their revenue for personal ads. Mandatory legal requirements to post notices keeps that section alive today. In the 'old' days, obits were free, today only those 'famous' enough to be of note get that. The rest often have to pay for their love one's obits.

same way the cable networks game the system. No one willingly watches CNN, but they have negotiated with airports to be played relentlessly. And no one would willingly pay for CNN, but you get to when you buy a cable 'bundle' of channels

I'll buy that this was a "positive event". But to declare this a "Major Victory" is just another example of why the wrong side is winning the culture war.
The left/totalitarian side of the battle rapes and pillages our institutions, traditions, and cultures with near impunity. They just successfully *stole* the election for the highest office in the land. THAT, my friends, is a "Major Victory".
THIS...? This is a "retraction" that will largely ignored.
If we want to get serious about the battle we're in, we'd better start setting the bar for "Major Victory" a little higher.
In a story that beggars belief, Houston Press links to Mr. O'Keefe.

[Red State] Andy Slavitt was Joe Biden’s senior adviser to the COVID response team. He just stepped down from the position last week and now has a new book he’s hawking on all the networks, "Preventable: The Inside Story of How Leadership Failures, Politics, and Selfishness Doomed the U.S. Coronavirus Response."
What a coincidence, I’m sure that his leaving isn’t at all timed to coincide with the book coming out. Did it factor into his joining the administration? This is just wrong to try to profit off the pandemic with a book. Yes, he’s no longer with the Biden team but that doesn’t make it any less scummy.
But on top of that all, he’s now trying to hype the book by lying about President Donald Trump and actually disparaging the American people.
#2
Just ONE person's opinion, frankly he is entitled to it.
And given his education a poor one: Andy Slavitt's age is 54. American businessman who made a name for himself as an Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

[IsraelTimes] Suspects, in their 20s, face charges for attack that left serviceman badly hurt; meanwhile, reports say there are growing indications killing of Jewish man in Lod was nationalistic.
Police on Monday said they had arrested six suspects accused of beating an IDF soldier in uniform and causing him serious injuries during a mob attack in the coastal city of Jaffa.
The arrests took place last month, but had been under a gag order.
"A serious indictment will be filed along with a request to hold them until the end of proceedings," police said in a statement.
Police said that a joint undercover operation with the Shin Bet security service was carried out in May against the suspects, all residents of Jaffa in their twenties. The suspects’ remand was repeatedly extended at the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s court during the investigation.
The 19-year-old soldier, Leon Shranin, is still undergoing rehabilitation treatment at the Ichilov Medical Center in Tel Aviv, police said.
On May 13, Shranin was left at death's door after being beaten, suffering a skull fracture and a cerebral hemorrhage, Ichilov Medical Center in Tel Aviv said at the time.
Shranin later told Channel 12 News he had been heading to his grandfather’s home in Bat Yam, a nearby city.
"There shouldn’t be festivities, it’s unnecessary, it’s nonsense," Shranin told the network.
Shranin was able to drive himself to the hospital after he had been attacked.
The attack on Shranin came during a period of unrest that saw the worse violence between the Jewish and Arab communities in decades.
Also on Monday the Haaretz daily reported that there are growing indications that last month’s killing of Yigal Yehoshua in Lod in Jewish-Arab violence was committed by an Arab mob with a nationalistic motive.
The newspaper cited unnamed law enforcement officials saying there had been several significant developments over the past two weeks in the police investigation into the incident.
The sources added, however, that the murder charge was difficult to prove at this point.
In May, amid intense fighting with 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... and tensions in Jerusalem, Israel’s ethnically mixed Jewish and Arab communities erupted in mob violence, turning cities into veritable war zones, with police failing to contain the most serious internal unrest to grip the country in years.
In the weeks after the violence simmered down police followed up with a major operation to apprehend suspects for involvement in the violence and that has led to the arrest of over 1,550 people, the majority Arab Israelis. Over 150 indictments have been filed.

[Tablet] - As the death toll of Operation Protective Edge rises, the deaths of children are firmly in the spotlight—and rightly so. It pains all reasonable people to hear of children dying as the consequence of war. Hamas and its supporters display gruesome pictures of dead and wounded children in order to gain sympathy for their portrait of Israel as the villain intent on killing Palestinians. In response, Israel cites the need to stop Hamas from firing thousands of rockets at its own children, who are being forced to live in bomb shelters, as well as the need to eliminate the tunnels that Hamas dug into Israel in order to carry out terror attacks against Israelis. One tunnel opening was found underneath an Israeli kindergarten.
But who built those tunnels? The answer is Hamas, of course—using some of the same children who are now trapped under fire in Gaza.
The Institute for Palestine Studies published a detailed report on Gaza’s Tunnel Phenomenon in the summer of 2012. It reported that tunnel construction in Gaza has resulted in a large number of child deaths.
"At least 160 children have been killed in the tunnels, according to Hamas officials"
The author, Nicolas Pelham, explains that Hamas uses child laborers to build their terror tunnels because, "much as in Victorian coal mines, they are prized for their nimble bodies".
[AnNahar] The winner of Iran's presidential election will face a host of tough challenges once he takes over from Hassan Rouhani ...Iran's moderate president, which he is, relative to his predecessor, which doesn't mean he's anything but a puppet of the nearest holy man... in August.
Seven men are running in the June 18 vote, with a possible run-off on June 25.

Iran also has one of the (if not the) biggest drug addiction problems in the world.
Iran's corruption problem is a force multiplier in all its other problems. The IRNG and various rulling mullahs have been able to amass a lot of the ownership of various businesses.
Iran's foreign adventurism costs a huge amount and results in lots of deaths of Iranians (as well as various militia) also.
Finally, because the President is subservient to the Islamic Guardians, a lot of common sense solutions are off the table.

[IsraelTimes] Ron DeSantis also signs bill allowing volunteer ambulances, like private Orthodox Jewish rescue services, to use emergency lights and sirens when responding to emergencies.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis visited a South Florida Jewish temple to denounce antisemitism and stand with Israel, as the Republican governor cloaked himself in religion Monday while signing a bill into law that would require public schools in his state to set aside at least one minute of silence for children to meditate or pray.
His visit to the Shul of Bal Harbour, a Jewish community center in Surfside, Florida, had the air of a campaign event.
DeSantis seemed to blush when Rabbi Sholom Lipskar introduced him as a "great governor and future world leader." It has been speculated that the governor, who is running for reelection next year, might run for president in 2024.
DeSantis visited the temple to sign two bills into law. One would expand the role of volunteer ambulance services, while the other makes Florida one of at least 15 states, a legislative analysis said, that would compel schools to hold moments of silence at public schools. The state had already been among roughly 18 other states that gave schools the option to do so.
"It’s something that’s important to be able to provide each student the ability, every day, to be able to reflect and to be able to pray as they see fit," DeSantis said. "The idea that you can just push God out of every institution, and be successful — I’m sorry, our founding fathers did not believe that."
The ambulance bill allows some volunteer first responders, including those run by faith-based groups, to use emergency lights and sirens when responding to emergencies. Some Orthodox Jews rely on these volunteer ambulance services to help overcome religious sensitivities that prevent some people from using traditional emergency services.
The ambulance bill was championed in the state Senate by Democrat Jason Pizzo, the only elected Democrat to take the stage with the governor during the bill signings.
Pizzo also supported the legislation that requires moments of silence in schools, saying the students won’t be required to pray during those moments set aside by schools.
"It’s like a moment of meditation, relaxation, connection," he said.
DeSantis used the event to tout his support for Israel, which he visited in his first year of office. During his speech, he referred to the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... as corrupt, saying the world body does more to sanction Israel than castigate China, which he lumped with what he referred to as "rogue regimes."
As DeSantis began speaking, authorities forcibly removed a heckler from the hall. It was unclear what message the man was making as police pulled him away, most of his words inaudible to those watching a broadcast of the rally.
[AlAhram] Fishermen who found the bodies told AFP that they were floating in the waters of Ras al-Ara in the southern province of Lahij
The bodies of 25 migrants colonists were recovered off 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... on Monday after the boat that was carrying them capsized with up to 200 people on board, a provincial official told AFP.
Fishermen who found the bodies told AFP that they were floating in the waters of Ras al-Ara in the southern province of Lahij, an area so rife with human trafficking that local people call it the "Gate of Hell".
"The boat overturned two days ago and was carrying between 160 and 200 people," said Jalil Ahmed Ali from the Lahij provincial authority, citing information given by Yemeni smugglers. The fate of the other people on board was unclear.
The UN's International Organization for Migration confirmed to AFP that a boat sank in the area but said it was still trying to establish the details of the incident.
Despite the grinding war in impoverished Yemen, migrants colonists continue to travel there in the hopes of finding work in Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... and other neighbouring oil-rich states whose economies depend on millions of foreign labourers.
The fishermen said the victims, found in the Bab al-Mandab strait that separates Djibouti from Yemen, appeared to be of African origin.
"We found 25 bodies of Africans who drowned when a boat carrying dozens of them sank off the Yemeni shores," said one of the fishermen.
"We saw the bodies floating in the water 10 miles from the shores of Ras al-Ara," added another.
Moslem colonists Migrants often find themselves stranded in Yemen, which is mired in the world's worst humanitarian crisis after six years of conflict.
The beaches of Ras al-Ara are among the areas most targeted by smugglers.
Earlier this month, local people appealed to Yemen's internationally recognised government to intervene, saying the area had become a free-for-all for human traffickers without any action from the authorities.
In recent months, dozens of migrants colonists have died in the Bab al-Mandab strait, a major route for international trade but also for human trafficking.
In April, at least 42 migrants colonists died off Djibouti after the capsize of their boat which had left from Yemen, according to an IOM report. They were likely among those who try to return home after finding themselves stranded or detained.
The IOM reported this month that 5,100 immigrants colonists arrived in Yemen so far this year, while 35,000 travelled in 2020 and 127,000 in 2019 before the outbreak of the 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. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... which suppressed demand for labour in the Gulf states.
The UN agency often sends migrants colonists back to their home countries from Yemen. But it said in April that more than 32,000 migrants colonists, mostly from Æthiopia, were still stranded in the Arabian Peninsula's poorest country.

[AlAhram] Veltman also faces one count of attempted murder due to terrorism activity
Is this right, or is he being railroaded to calm a preferred population?
Prosecutors laid terrorism charges Monday against a man accused of driving down and killing four members of a Moslem family in London, Ontario.
The prosecution said Nathaniel Veltman's four counts of first-degree murder constitute an act of terrorism and prosecutors have upgraded those charges under Canada's criminal code. Police allege the incident was a planned and premeditated attack targeting Moslems.
Veltman also faces one count of attempted murder due to terrorism activity.
The upgraded charges were laid as Veltman made a brief court appearance via video Monday morning. He has yet to enter a plea.
Salman Afzaal, 46, his 44-year-old wife Madiha Salman, their 15-year-old daughter Yumna and her 74-year-old grandmother, Talat Afzaal were killed while out for an evening walk on June 6.
The couple's nine-year-old son, Fayez, was maimed but is expected to recover.
Saboor Khan, a friend of the family, said upgrading the charges against Veltman was ``the right thing to do.?
``The family and the community has been terrorized and many of us are afraid to leave our homes,? Khan said.
A funeral for the family drew hundreds of mourners to the Islamic Centre of Southwest Ontario over the weekend.
Veltman's next court date is scheduled for June 21.
[AnNahar] Iran's navy took delivery on Monday of two new warships in a ceremony broadcast by state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
, several days after announcing it dispatched a squadron into the Atlantic Ocean.
"The defence ministry has achieved a major task today in supplying two ships to the Islamic Theocratic Republic of 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... -- the destroyer Dena and a minesweeper," Iran's President Hassan Rouhani ...Iran's moderate president, which he is, relative to his predecessor, which doesn't mean he's anything but a puppet of the nearest holy man... said in a speech.
The delivery of the two ships came after Iran announced on Thursday that it had "for the first time" sent a small squadron of ships into the Atlantic Ocean with the goal of "reinforcing its maritime capabilities".
According to a statement by the army chief of staff, the Dena "is an entirely Iranian destroyer" equipped with a "helicopter landing zone" and a "range of defense and attack systems".
It has the capacity to "cover long distances" and is equipped to "destroy all aerial threats", along with underwater threats.
The minesweeper, named "Shahin", is over 33 metres in length and is capable of "detecting and neutralizing diverse types of naval mines", the statement said.
The Iranian navy on June 2 lost one of its biggest ships, the Kharg, which sank in the Gulf of Oman, after it was struck by a fire that raged for hours.
The crew was evacuated and the cause remains either unknown or unpublicized.
Iranian naval forces described the Kharg as a "support (and) training vessel", but military specialists GlobalSecurity.org categorized it as a helicopter carrier and fuel replenishment vessel.
[Breitbart] The prices of gasoline and crude oil both moved higher on Monday, squeezing U.S. consumers in the grip of the strongest inflation in over a decade.
A barrel of Brent Crude rose to $72.88, the highest price since October of 2018. West Texas crude was trading around $70.90, also the highest since October of 2018.
Crude prices have been persistently climbing this year as global demand rises and U.S. investment in oil production is stymied by the Biden administration’s anti-fossil fuel policies.
Gas pump prices hit $3.08 on Monday, three cents higher than a week ago.
"Motorists are paying, on average, 37 percent more to fill up than the start of the year," said Jeanette McGee, a spokesperson for AAA. "Prices for the rest of the month are likely to push more expensive, but if crude production increases, as forecasted, there is the possibility of seeing some relief at the pump later this summer."
Not everyone agrees that prices are likely to come down. Analysts say that the push for electric vehicles and the threat of higher taxes and more regulation are depressing investment in oil production. Commodities investor Leigh Goehring recently told the Wall Street Journal that consumption will top production capacity for a sustained period. The situation could produce "the next oil crisis," Goehring said.
Planned investment in oil supply globally falls nearly $600 billion short of what will be needed to meet projected demand by 2030, according to an analysts at J.P. Morgan Chase.
Only half as many rigs in operation now as there were then.
Refining is also well behind last year.

[FOX] Two Army paratroopers were found dead in their barracks at Fort Bragg allegedly because of illicit drugs, according to reports.
Army officials said in a news release Monday that the 82nd Airborne Division paratroopers were found unresponsive Friday and declared dead at the scene.
Criminal Investigation Command spokesman Chris Grey said investigators have "credible information" that unnamed drugs were involved.
[Amazon excerpt] Anthrax. Plague. Smallpox. Ebola. These are the weapons of the future—microscopic organisms produced in laboratories and unleashed on unwitting populations to reproduce, spread, and kill. They are as deadly as atomic bombs, much cheaper to create, and much easier to distribute—inside a warhead on an intercontinental missile, in an aerosol can sprayed in a crowded building, or by a crop-duster flying over a major city. Exposure occurs without warning. Infection from only a few minute particles can mean a ghastly and painful death. The kill rates are staggering.
Modern biological warfare began during the 1930s, when the Japanese Army conducted atrocious experiments on Chinese prisoners using lethal bacteria. During the Cold War, both the Soviet Union and the U.S. rushed to build biological weapons programs. In 1972, the Biological Weapons Convention banned the development of bioweapons, supposedly ending the threat.
But the threat was only beginning. Plague Wars tells the stories of the secret battles that are still being waged in many nations, stories filled with international espionage, deceptions, and treachery. Recently, defectors and covert sources from third-world governments such as Iraq have revealed active biological weapons programs, despite international arms inspectors' attempts to eradicate them. A U.S. war game to prepare for a North Korean biological attack went so horribly wrong that the results are still classified. In South Africa, the use of bioweapons represents one of the last untold secrets of the apartheid battles, while in Zimbabwe, people are still dying of anthrax from the dirty wars of independence fought two decades ago. Fringe cults, apocalyptic madmen, and terrorists groups everywhere claim to own bioweapons, and are threatening to use them. Major Western cities are busily planning defenses against such an attack.
Researched across four continents with exceptional access to many sources from the United Nations, U.S. Department of Defense, and various civilian and military intelligence agencies, and using previously classified government documents, Tom Mangold and Jeff Goldberg have written the definitive account of the state of biological warfare in the world today.

Last time I checked in, the Americans and Soviets Russians still maintain a vial or so of smallpox. A just in case we have to come up with an antidotes should some 'rogue' let the stuff lose again (how many people today have received immunization shots cause some 'professionals' decided the risk from the immunization was greater than the possibility of catching it).
Scroll down to "US military guns keep vanishing, some used in street crimes". Yeah, right. We're all safe, don't worry.

[NPASYRIA] On Monday, the de-escalation zones in the Idlib, Lattakia and Hama regions in northwest Syria, witnessed a renewed exchange of bombing between Ottoman Ottoman Turkish-backed armed opposition groups and Syrian government forces.
The government forces bombed the town of al-Bara, Balyon, al-Fatira, Kafr Oweid and Sufuhn in Zawiya Mountain, south of Idlib with missiles and heavy artillery shells, military sources told North Press.
The bombardment coincided with intensive flight of Russian drones and warplanes over Idlib and the countryside of Hama, Aleppo and Lattakia, the sources added.
In return, the al-Fath al-Mubin Operations Room bombed the sites of the government forces in the city of Kafr Nubul, the towns of Hazarin and Ma’arat Hurmah and the village of al-Dara al-Kabira south of Idlib with rockets and heavy artillery shells.
The sources pointed out that al-Fath al-Mubin Operations Room also shelled the government forces’ gatherings in Jurin Camp, west of Hama and the town of Salma in the countryside of Lattakia with heavy artillery shells.
The regions of northwest Syria has witnessed an unprecedented military escalation and mutual shelling between the gangs and the government forces, which resulted in dozens of deaths and injuries, including civilians

[ToloNews] The head of US Central Command, Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie, said on Sunday that the US will seek to "keep pressure" on ISIS and Al Qaeda, the Military Times reported.
"One thing I probably need to emphasize is we will still do everything we can to keep pressure on ISIS and Al Qaeda, from our over-the-horizon locations," McKenzie said in an interview with Military Times.
"That is a task I’ve been given. Those are plans I’m in discussion with now with the secretary of defense. How we will do that, I’ve said before, that will be a very difficult thing to do," he said.
In response to a question about the recent UN report warning that the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... appeared poised to take back control of Afghanistan, McKenzie said: "We still intend to support the Afghan military from just over the horizon. We’re still going to support them with funding."
"We’re going to try very hard to support the Afghan air force over the horizon; some things will come out of the country to be worked on," he said. "I don’t want to minimize this, because I think they’re going to be tested, but we will continue to support them, just not in the way we are supporting them now."
He said: "The fighting is seesaw right now. You know we will do everything we can to help the Afghans going forward within the limits that we have, which is, of course, no boots on the ground. But it’s gonna be really on their shoulders now to stand or fall, and I think they have a fighting chance to do it. That’s what I’ve said before, and we’ll do everything we can to help them."
Asked if the US would provide any combat support to Afghan forces if major cities such as Kabul were at risk of being overrun, he said: "Those are actually, as you will appreciate, policy decisions, not military decisions. I will tell you this. Right now what we’re planning to do after we withdraw is keep pressure on Al Qaeda and ISIS, and that would be what we’d be doing, going back into Afghanistan."
"When those entities presented actionable threats against the United States, we’d be prepared to go in there and take action if our Afghan partners are unable to do that, and that will be the limit of our kinetic actions in Afghanistan," he said.
Asked about China and Russia stepping up efforts in Afghanistan, McKenzie said: "The Chinese, I think they would like to get in for the mass mineral deposits that exist on the ground in Afghanistan and in other places, and that’s their interest."
"I think the Russians have concerns about the spread of terror north through the Stans into Russia. I think both are interested in it. None of them have been particularly supportive of us while we’ve been there, and if we leave, I think they will try to move in to fill what they perceive to be a vacuum," he said.
"They may find that to be harder than they think, though, to actually accomplish," he added.
In April US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass.... announced that US troops will leave Afghanistan by September 11.

[NPASYRIA] After her repeated failure in an economic subject in a faculty in the University of Damascus, Ala Wahba (a pseudonym), a third-year university student, decided to ask the professor for help and meet him in his office.
"I was surprised for his rude frankness when he asked me for a physical relationship in exchange for passing the subject," Wahba told North Press.
His request had a psychological effect on Wahba, and despite her multiple appeals for a passing grade, still failed the subject.
Many professors at the University of Damascus resort to "harassment, bribes, and sometimes mediation" to pass students.
On June 8, Damascus University revoked the doctoral degree of a professor in the Agricultural Engineering Faculty, which she had been granted six years ago, after it was discovered that she had stolen her research thesis.
"The reality of granting doctorate certificates in Syrian universities today is faced by many negative aspects, chief among them that the new professors do not have a second language; neither English nor French," a professor of Tishreen University, who preferred to be unidentified, said.

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... was roundly criticized on June 1, 2020, when he walked through Lafayette Square, the site of major protests, to deliver a speech before St. John's church, which had been set aflame by rioting arsonists.
He was accused of having instructed law enforcement to tear gas protestors to clear the park so that he could engage in a "photo op." It was recently revealed that the park was in the process of being cleared already in order that fencing could be installed. Now it turns out that Trump wasn't even the one responsible, it was Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser, reports Mollie Hemingway of The Federalist.
Official reports prove that it was in fact DC Mayor Muriel Bowser who likely gave the order to disperse the crowd using forceful means such as tear gas. The report from the Office of the Inspector General notes that:
"Finally, we found that the USPP and the Secret Service did not use a shared radio channel to communicate, that the USPP primarily conveyed information orally to assisting law enforcement entities, that an assisting law enforcement entity arrived late and may not have received a full briefing on the rules of engagement, and that several law enforcement officers could not clearly hear the incident commander’s dispersal warnings."
It appears that the location of the speech Trump gave that day also had nothing to do with the decision to clear the streets. Rather, it was to allow entry for a contractor that was hired to install a security fence around the White House.
"For more than a year," Hemingway writes, "Bowser allowed Trump to take the blame for what her police forces had done. In her nationally broadcast speech, Bowser inaccurately called the violent mostly peaceful riots — marked by widespread looting, arson of historic buildings, arson of White House buildings, and assaults on scores of coppers — safe and peaceful. Then she blamed Trump for her own police force’s teargassing of protesters."
"[W]hile we were peacefully protesting," Bowser said on June 1 of last year, "Donald Trump was plotting. He stood in front of one of our most treasured houses of worship and held a Bible for a photo op."
"He sent troops in camouflage into our streets. He sent tear gas into the air and federal helicopters too. I knew if he did this to DC, he would do it to your city or your town, and that’s when I said enough," Bowser continued.
It is also of note that the protests were far from entirely peaceful, according to the Bowser-controlled DC Metropolitan Police Department. Their official version of events is that officers had been injured by people throwing an incendiary projectile at them.

So the LEFT does it and 1 year later the true comes out. But now the LEFT and it Propaganda Media Arm have NEWS-SPEAKED millions into believing it was Trump.
Wish there was a legal way to require the Left and its Media to provide EQUAL time and article location placement for the usual retractions.

[NYPOST] Violent crime in New York City is soaring: Murder is up 11.7 percent over last year; shootings, a staggering 68 percent. And it’s likely here to stay.
Don’t blame poverty or the pandemic: Squalid arguments and score-settling continue to motivate most gun violence. A longstanding squabble over parking apparently led to the recent killing of 10-year-old Justin Wallace. An obscure beef between Farrakhan Muhammad and his brother allegedly precipitated a daylight shooting spree in Times Square last month.
Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio ...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him... resolutely deflects responsibility for the horrific rise in crime, now entering its second year. He insists — ludicrously — that his "Cure Violence" program, which he touts annually and which has at best a track record of no impact, will fix everything.
So it’s no accident that New Yorkers are counting the days ’til this bad dream is over, nor that the leading mayoral candidates are the ones who promise to make public safety a priority.
Voters hope that, once de Blasio is gone, the new mayor will restore a New York City where ordinary people feel secure taking the subway alone at night, without worrying that someone will slash their faces with a box cutter.
Not so fast. De Blasio has been a terrible mayor, having wrecked a safe and prosperous city. But he didn’t act alone. His cronies and comrades in the City Council and state Legislature have substantially and systematically refashioned the law to ensure that criminals will have the upper hand, while law enforcers are hobbled.
These legal changes won’t soon or easily be undone.
In 2014, de Blasio dropped the city’s appeal against several spurious, anti-anti-crime suits pertaining to patrolling and instead submitted to the supervision of an outside "NYPD Monitor." The monitor oversees training and procedures, audits the NYPD’s patrol practices and reports to the federal court on progress toward its goals.
Some of the measures implemented under the monitor, such as body cameras, have been salutary. But others — such as the elimination of the Trespass Affidavit Program, which helped keep drug pushers, loiterers and other miscreants out of private apartment buildings — appear to have contributed to the crime problem.
Then, in 2016, the council passed — and the mayor signed — a major set of "reforms" that have contributed to the deterioration of safe streets and the quality of life.
The measures effectively decriminalized "open containers," urinating in public, littering and hanging out in parks after closing. Then-Councilman and now-Rep. Ritchie Torres, a supporter of the legislation, joked about opponents’ fears of a coming "apocalypse of public urination."
Smelled the streets much lately, Congressman?
The council also passed the 2018 Right to Know Act, which short-circuits the cops’ constitutionally protected ability to conduct searches. The law, unique in the nation, forces cops to tell suspects that they are not obligated to consent to being searched, effectively making the police act as legal advisers, working against themselves and for evildoers. No doubt many guns have remained concealed as perps were told they could walk away.
At the state level, bail "reform" has allowed thousands of criminals to leave their arraignments and go out to commit more crime, often in a matter of 24 hours. Discovery "reform" has led to fewer witnesses coming forward to report what they have seen, since they know that their personal information will be immediately turned over to the defense.

Well since even dangerous perp get let loose anymore and thinking outside the box, why not outsource public order to the mob? What's the cost per capita? Give everyone a voucher to hire their own security (and justice). (do I need to put a /sarc on that?)

/\ They don't have Planned Parenthood. Alternative population control measures are obviously in play. Yes, the same measures employed for thousands of years.
[KhaamaPress] According to the reports, Khan Abad, a district in northern Kunduz province, and Sayad, another district in northern Sar-e-Pul ...a city and eponymous province in northern Afghanistan, population about 500,000. Demographically it is majority Tadjik and Uzbek. There are small Pashtun, Arab, and Hazara communities, of which the Hazaras mostly don't bother anyone... province have fallen under the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... control.
Local officials in Kunduz and Sar-e-Pul provinces confirmed that Taliban fighters have seized Khan Abad district in Kunduz and Sayad district of Sar-e-Pul provinces last night.
The Afghan cops have not yet officially commented on it and neither they have yet disclosed the number of casualties.
Zabihullah Mujahid, a spokesperson to the Taliban has confirmed they have brought both Khan Abad district of Kunduz and Sayad district of Sar-e-Pul province under their control and have seized military types of equipment and facilities left by the Afghan forces.
This comes as the Taliban has increased its offensive operations throughout the country with more focus on the Northern parts of Afghanistan.
Reports suggest that Marshal Dostum ...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier... , a prominent leader in the north of Afghanistan is fighting with the Taliban fighters in the front line.
Afghanistan's Caped President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani ...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money... chaired a comprehensive security meeting yesterday and have ordered the security institutions to fight back and defend against the Taliban attacks, Presidential Palace reported.
[FOXNEWS] Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson of North Carolina emphasized the importance of the American work ethic and his success story Saturday night on "Unfiltered with Dan Bongino."
Robinson is the first African American to hold the office of lieutenant governor in the state and caught the public's eye at a Greensboro City Council meeting, when he defended the Second Amendment.
Fox News host Dan Bongino asked Robinson what politically motivated him.
"Well, what honestly pushed me into it was something that someone said to me at work about 'talk.' They said talk's not going to do anything," Robinson said.
"I said, there's nothing you can do about it. You can go down there and talk, but that's not going to get anything done. And I reminded that person that, you know, the revolution in this country didn't start with the ’shot heard round the world' - it started with ’talk.’ Friends and neighbors talking to each other about ideas like independence and liberty and freedom and establishing our own nation. And so it starts with a conversation" said Robinson.
Robinson spoke at the North Carolina Republican Party State Convention last Friday where he discussed topics such as child sacrifice abortion, race, and the American work ethic.
Bongino noted that the Republican party doesn't have a "message problem," but rather a "messaging problem."
"Lower taxes, health care, freedom, school choice. These are all popular things when people hear about them," Bongino said.
The Fox News host continued to note that Robinson's speech to the North Carolina Republican Party State Convention addressed the dignity of work, and that "nothing in Republican messaging ... addresses that."
"One of the things in this nation, apart from any other nation, is the American work ethic," Robinson said.
Robinson noted that for decades, people have denigrated the American work ethic, saying "we see a strong vein of that happening right now from our federal government where we are actually paying people not to go to work, which is ridiculous."

Try looking at the work ethic as "tough love", you work for food , shelter and clothing...its tough...but if you love your job...many consider it your calling and so will you.
Remember, the All Mighty has many callings instore for you, be ready, be happy, be ready to share your work ethic...just like this man is doing.

[NPASYRIA] Barring supporters of the Kurdish cause stands in the way of Kurdish unity, the representative of the Autonomous Administration in North and East Syria (AANES) said on Monday.
On Saturday, the "International Delegation for Peace and Freedom in Kurdistan," consisting of individuals from various countries was prevented from entering the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRG). Nurshan Hussein, representative of the AANES in the KRG, told North Press that the delegation came "bearing the motto of wanting peace and freedom for Kurdistan and all Kurds," and accused the local leading Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) of barring their entry.
A member of the delegation, a civil activist from Finland who wished to remain anonymous, told North Press about the "unnerving experience" of being turned around at Erbil Airport.
The activist described his intent, and the intent of around 150 other journalists, activists, doctors, NGO workers, and politicians, to engage in a fact-finding mission and raise awareness of Ottoman Turkish military presence and actions in the KRG. The group intended to meet with local government, civil organizations, and political parties to discuss the matter.
The civil activist told North Press that several members were stopped in Germany, others were stopped in Doha, Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... , and he, along with around 25 others, was taken aside at passport control in Erbil Airport.
After a 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. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... test, the activist and other delegation members were questioned as to the purpose of their visit, with local security forces giving non-answers when told about the delegation. He added that they were at first accused of "supporting a terror group" before being told that they were in danger and their countries were concerned about them, and that they would be returning home.
After nine hours in the airport, the activist was put on a plane to Doha, at which point the passports of him and fellow delegation members were taken and not returned to them until they arrived in Stockholm.
At least 27 people were prevented from leaving Dusseldorf Airport in Germany for Erbil, including two members of German Parliament, Cansu Ozdemir and Hakan Tas. Sources close to members of the delegation also told North Press 60-70 delegation members in total were either stopped while in transit or deported upon arrival to Erbil.
"The achievements that we have made as Kurds, and the support that is raised for us by the international community, intellectuals, and members of parliament, influential individuals in world society, lawyers, and human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... organizations, all friends of Kurds, is an opportunity we must take advantage of," Hussein stated.
"We want all political parties in [KRG] and all of Kurdistan’s parties to use this opportunity and not allow their stance to aid the enemy."
On the 10th of June, representative of the Autonomous Administration in Erbil Jihad Hassan and two members of the Democratic Union Party’s (PYD, the leading party in North and East Syria) relations office, Mustafa Khalil and Mustafa Aziz, were arrested while attempting to receive guests from Erbil Airport. They have not been heard from since, and have not been allowed to speak to any AANES or PYD representatives, according to Hussein.
The Kurdistan Regional Government has witnessed tension recently, as Ottoman Turkish forces continue to expand their military presence in the region’s north and bombard Kurdish-majority regions with Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s. Tensions were further heightened by an incident in KRG’s Metina region in which five Kurdish Peshmerga fighters were killed; the Peshmerga blamed the attack on the PKK, who denies killing the fighters.

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Jeffery Onan the Conqueror Toobin ... legal analyst who was canned for jerkin' his gherkin at a Zoom call, then rehired when they couldn't find somebody as disreputable to replace him... , the CNN ...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for... employee who was literally caught with his pants down masturbating on a Zoom conference call in Oct. 2020, is returning to the network after an eight-month absence.
His CNN colleague Ana Navarro, however, defended Toobin's return on The View, saying that she's "not surprised" he's back on the air. "Squealing rapacious swamp sow"
The Toobin incident got him fired from his position at The New Yorker at the time, and he took what apparently has worked out to be an eight-month hiatus from the CNN network, but he has now been back for a week, working as their chief legal analyst.
When asked about her views on the Toobin incident, Navarro commented:
"Actually, I’m not surprised he’s back on the air. But I will tell you when I saw that interview — oh, God, how embarrassing, how humiliating."
"I kept thinking to myself, 'If I have to go on live TV and explain to the nation why I masturbated on a Zoom call, I think I’d rather go sell avocados under I-95 than get my job back on TV.'"

Against the backdrop of the Jerusalem Day flag march tomorrow, Hamas and other militant factions have renewed threats of escalation by launching a media campaign calling on Palestinians to confront the marchers & hold a day of rage. However, a response by the factions is likely..
Hamas ‘balloon launching’ unit announces return to activity tomorrow
[IsraelTimes] The Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, terror group’s incendiary balloon unit announces that it will return to activity on Tuesday, against the backdrop of the controversial Jerusalem flag march slated for that day.
Israel has warned that it will respond to breaches of its illusory sovereignty, be it rocket fire or the launching of incendiary devices that have torched hundreds of acres of land near 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... border.
They only got partway down their target list before the ceasefire was called, and warned that if Hamas, et al start up again, they’d go after the next on the list.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF has briefed news hounds that it is preparing for the possibility of renewed fighting in Gazoo, against the backdrop of warnings made by Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", against the holding of the controversial Jerusalem flag march scheduled for tomorrow.
Defense Minister Benny Gantz has approved a series of targets for the IDF to attack in the Strip and additional Iron Dome batteries have been deployed at various sites. However, Switzerland makes more than cheese... the military sources briefing news hounds emphasize that the possibility of violence is not particularly likely.
[The Last Refuge] This admission published today will likely help the lawsuit filed by Georgia plaintiff Garland Favorito who previously won a legal fight to audit 145,000 Atlanta area absentee ballots. The county has appealed the judge’s ruling granting access, and filed a motion to dismiss the case (squashing the audit). The judge will hear arguments later this month. Today they admit 24% of the absentee ballots (one in four) are missing chain of custody documents.
GEORGIA — In a stunning admission about the critical chain of custody documents for absentee ballots deposited into drop boxes in the November 3, 2020 election, a Fulton County election official told The Georgia Star News on Wednesday that "a few forms are missing" and that "some procedural paperwork may have been misplaced."
A Star News analysis of drop box ballot transfer forms for absentee ballots deposited in drop boxes provided by Fulton County in response to an Open Records Request showed that 385 transfer forms out of an estimated 1,565 transfer forms Fulton County said should have been provided are missing — a number that is significantly greater than "a few" by any objective standard.
This is the first time that any election official at either the state or county level from a key battleground state has made an admission of significant error in election procedures for the November 3, 2020 election.

It doesn't matter as much as if it had been revealed six months ago, but the fact that it took seven months to corner the County so they had to admit it.

Yes, grom. It matters a lot. People who perpetrated this fraud on the American people need to go to jail and this is one of the steps that must be taken to get to that point. Even the low level perps, perhaps most importantly the low level perps, need to go to jail so that everybody in the future sees that these crimes will not go unpunished, so that it will never happen again and so the next election will be free and fair and so in 2024 we can boot Biden's ass out of the White House.

It can matter in a sense that an argument would exist for Executive Orders and new AFT guidelines can just get shoved up their asses.
A good argument could be made Senate decisions within 2 are suspect, and even the sessions in general.
And the "Mandate of the People' Palosi Agenda would not longer be.

they admit 24% of the absentee ballots (one in four) are missing chain of custody documents.
So Georgia has no idea who won the 2020 election. Trump could have easily won (most likely that he did). Seems like the Georgia election results have grounds for decertification. Also seems like cleaning house would be a good idea.

I truly hope the conservative's unrelenting faith in constitutionalism in the face of sheer thuggery and third world level top down corruption, is not misplaced. I pray what Abu said can really be achieved.

[The Last Refuge] I give this report from the audit in Maricopa County, Arizona, a little more weight for two reasons: First, Patrick Howley is generally accurate in his reporting by disposition; and second, the source of the information is on record, not anonymous.
If this reporting turns out to be accurate, this will be an explosive development. However, that said, if this report is accurate... this is likely the reason why Maricopa County officials have been fighting the audit, hiring lawyers and positioning themselves in an attempt to undermine the chain-of-custody of the ballots.
Remember, the county Board of Supervisors would not let the State Senate audit take place in their tabulations center. In an effort to block and stall the audit, the county officials forced the audit organizers to transfer the tabulation machines and truckloads of ballots to the Veterans Coliseum. Then the board of supervisors held closed-door meetings (shutting out the public) with their lawyers.
ARIZONA — Several hundred thousand votes that were counted in Maricopa County, Arizona are associated with missing ballots, according to an audit organizer who is speaking regularly with people on the audit floor.
"We found a ballot shortage, anywhere from 5 to 10 percent of the votes," Josh Barnett, an audit organizer who led the affidavit drive to make the audit happen, tells NATIONAL FILE. "It looks like a couple hundred thousand ballots are unaccounted for. The ballots are missing."
"I also know that there were boxes filled with blank ballots in those pallets. There were blanks in there," Barnett said, citing a person who is frequently at the audit site as part of the audit process. "They (election officials) were doing it for appearance, to try to hide the fact that ballots are missing by saying, ’It’s okay, they’re all right here.’ But the ballots are blank."
#8
There has been tremendous pushback in swing states seeking audits. The culprits must know what was done on election night and thereafter. Most likely, all that Biden has done is illegal if he is not legally POTUS.
#10
Either someone removed the real ballots and replaced them by blank paper, or the so called ballots were blank from the start, inserted to agree in number with those obtained from the machine coun
t.
Is there a third possibility?
Is there an explanation other than fraud on a massive scale?
#12
Would be interesting to see:
The ratio of missing ballots which went to Biden verses Trump. I suspect they went almost overwhelmingly to Biden. If you had a tally of the 'real' ballots you can compare it to the election night tally and see the difference.
What the tally is of the actual 'real' ballots?
Where the F is the DOJ in this?

[NYPOST] Saying, "I’m surprised we have not yet been accused of provoking the Black Lives Matter movement," Russian President Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... brushed off serious accusations made by the US against Russia, including election interference, cybercrime and the detention and attempted liquidation of dissident Alexei Navalny.
Ahead of his summit Wednesday with President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body....... in Geneva, the Russian leader told NBC News that American allegations that Russian hackers or the Kremlin itself were behind cyberattacks in the US were "farcical."
"We have been accused of all kinds of things," Putin told the network. "Election interference, cyberattacks and so on and so forth. And not once, not once, not one time, did they bother to produce any kind of evidence or proof. Just unfounded accusations."
He added: "I’m surprised that we have not yet been accused of provoking the Black Lives Matter movement."

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Speaking on the One NYCHA podcast, Senator Chuck Schumer ...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 45.52436 years, or 318.67052 years in dog years. Senate minority leader as of 2017... referred to mentally disabled children as "retarded." That word has long since gone out of favor with those who seek to destigmatize children and adults who are developmentally disabled.
Not many years ago that was the technical terminology, as earlier idiot and imbecile were technical terms. The change came from people being supersensitive on their behalf, not from those with the condition.
This initiative will actually house the homeless population that is actually living on our streets," the host for the New York City Housing Authority said. "We see them every day, and we are about to house them, and they are against it! It's unbelievable." The full recording of his appearance is on Facebook.
"Yes," Schumer said. "I have found that my whole career. I wanted to build, in my first, in Assembly. They wanted to build a congregant living space for retarded children. The whole neighborhood was against it! These were harmless kids, they just needed some help. We got it done," he said.
I hear no malice or mockery in that statement, but only caring. Some people need to get over their need to show their assumed superiority by playing gotcha.
A spokesperson for Schumer has since acknowledged that the senator "used an inappropriate and outdated word" during the recent interview.
"For decades, Sen. Schumer has been an ardent champion for enlightened policy and full funding of services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities," the politician's representative told the Washington Examiner. "He used an inappropriate and outdated word in his description of an effort he supported that was led by the AHRC to build a group home in his Brooklyn district decades ago to provide housing and services to children with developmental disabilities. He is sincerely sorry for his use of the outdated and hurtful language."

Considering Schumer lived the majority of his life in the 20th Century, this is not hard to understand, his language is not in keeping with the 21st Century vogue - Destroying & Criticizing People, Places, Ideas and Ideals, if any are not reflective of their dictitorial socialist model of societal engineering.
Don't apologise, the message is whats important; tell the Socialists that they are petites, not grown adults, their thoughts and behavior are like out of control children - very small, petite children. Their intellectual priorities matches children too.

Sometimes I play the fool in public. It's strategic. My behavior is designed to draw out displays of arrogance and superiority from those I (and others) would be better off disregarding completely. It's also very efficient.

Far too many of the Washington crowd and their extended friends and associates appear to have rather troubling proclivities which involve young children.
The Arab News article contains the following IDF tweet. Truly we live in an age of miracles!
IDF troops & the Israeli Police just thwarted a weapon smuggling attempt along the Jordanian border in the Arava area. Our troops confiscated weapons & apprehended a number of suspects.
An IDF reservist and a suspect were moderately injured & were evacuated to a hospital.
[ARABNEWS] It is seven years since their yellow flag first appeared in the campaign against ISIS, the hard boy group which seized swathes of northern Iraq and eastern Syria in 2014. After ISIS captured large parts of northern Iraq, including djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , in 2014, the fighters of al-Hashd al-Shaabi, or Popular Mobilization Forces, won the admiration of many Iraqis for heeding Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani’s call to arms.
Since then, the umbrella organization of mainly Shiite militias has, however, adopted a more sinister cause. Last month, a convoy of Hashd fighters mounted a show of strength in Baghdad’s Green Zone, the center of Iraq’s political life, and forced the country’s elected leaders to release Qassim Musleh, a Hashd commander close to Iran

[NYPOST] At least seven people were shot — one fatally — in the city’s latest round of gun violence overnight, cops said Monday.
The crime waves comes as new NYPD data shows a 64-percent spike in shootings this year versus last — representing 721 people maimed or killed by gunfire in 634 separate incidents.
The deadly incident came around 12:40 a.m. Monday at Morgan Avenue near Stagg Street in East Williamsburg when a gunman approached two men, 33 and 38, sitting in a Ford Mustang.
The suspect demanded property from the younger man — who was sitting in the passenger seat — and blasted him in the back when he refused, according to police.
Then he allegedly pistol-whipped the older man, the driver, and snatched a gold chain from him, while also swiping a gold chain from the passenger, cops said.
The older victim drove straight to Woodhull Medical Center, where the younger man was pronounced dead, cops said. The driver suffered minor injuries, according to police.
The gunman remains on the lam.
The mugging took place outside of an event space, but it was unclear if the victims had been there before they were attacked, cops said.
Another person was also robbed, allegedly by the same suspect, after the shooting — but police could say no more.on that incident.

Several fire departments are tackling a huge blaze at a chemical plant in Rockton, Illinois. People living within a one-mile radius of the site are being evacuated from the area, the local fire chief said.
The fire was reported at around 7 am local time (8 am ET) on Monday at Chemtool Incorporated in Rockton, according to local media. There have been no reports of fatalities.
Rockton Fire Chief Kirk Wilson said 70 plant employees were evacuated from the building prior to the arrival of fire crews. One firefighter, who sustained minor injuries and walked to an ambulance, was the only injury reported, he told a press conference.
Wilson also said there is “no danger” to air quality at ground level, explaining that the evacuation zone was a “precautionary measure.”
He said the plan now is to let the oil-based lubricants at the plant burn off over the next few days. Firefighters have stopped using water on the fire to prevent runoff into local waterways to avoid an “environmental nightmare,” he added.
