[FoxNews] Donald Rumsfeld, the long-time American politician and former defense secretary, has died at the age of 88, his family announced.
Donald Rumsfeld, who charted an impressive Washington career serving under four presidents but whose legacy largely was defined by his controversial tenure as defense secretary during the Iraq War, has died, his family announced Wednesday. He was 88.
Rumsfeld, a confident adviser to power with a trenchant style that made him admirers as well as enemies, had a long and winding career in public life that spanned five decades. He had been a congressman and a White House chief of staff, and had a successful corporate career, too. But it was his second term as secretary of defense from 2001 to 2006 – during the most tumultuous period of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars – for which he is most known.
"It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Donald Rumsfeld, an American statesman and devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather," Rumsfeld’s family said in a statement. "At 88, he was surrounded by family in his beloved Taos, New Mexico. History may remember him for his extraordinary accomplishments over six decades of public service, but for those who knew him best and whose lives were forever changed as a result, we will remember his unwavering love for his wife Joyce, his family and friends, and the integrity he brought to a life dedicated to country."
I don’t recall him commenting here, Dale, but True German Ally said he’d mentioned the site to both Secretary Rumsfeld and Angela Merkel. And we’ve had comments from the occasional State Department people and more than occasional active military, suggesting a broader awareness in certain circles.

Thank you TW. Remember I am a gleaner of information. I had a fragment of information related to his familiarity of Rantburg.That information I had picked up here. Then the Obama threats to government workers using social media. We have had some cut back on their activities here. I'd bet they still visit but don't post.
#10
It means Rumsfeld killed more Americans in his war of lies in Iraq
Yes, much in the same way that Eisenhower is responsible for all the deaths in WWII.
I don't quite recall the details, but there was an incident where Rumsfeld said something that suggested he was either familiar with the 'Burg or on the same wavelength.

Hey dimwit #4/#8, Iraq's madman Saddam was using chemical weapons such as sarin gas against his own men women and children especially Iraqi Kurds. He invaded Kuwait during his reign of terror and was developing nuclear weapons, more chemical weapons and using his oil revenue to financile terrorist attacks around the world. His ass kicking by the US was approved by the United Nations and numerous countries came together with the US militarily to drag his ass out of a spider hole and hand him over to his own people who happily strung him up on the gallows.
In the mean time, you devolved into whining slobering cry baby.
#12
I can't help but fondly recall what was then known as Rumsfeld Fighting Technique. He didn't just speak, he hosted a sparring match. Who could forget such classic techniques such as Grimace Palm, Twin Cobra Fist and Lion Palm Technique?

Dashcam and bodycam video released by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday showed how close two St. Petersburg police officers came to being killed last week when a mentally-ill suspect opened fire on them (video below).
The incident occurred at about 3:30 p.m. on June 26 when St. Petersburg Police Officers Ronald McKenzie and Pavel Kuznetsov spotted a suspect who was wanted for violating a protective order, WFTS reported.
Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri explained to reporters at a press conference when he released the videos that 23-year-old Austin Kingos, who suffers from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, had developed an obsession with a woman in the past few months, WTSP reported.
Sheriff Gualtieri said Kingos stopped taking his medication, started smoking marijuana, and “became infatuated” with a woman who wanted nothing to do with him.
The sheriff said Kingos sent the woman bizarre items like a breast pump and “began making comments that he wanted to have a child with her. He even had references to the woman tattooed on his hand,” WTSP reported.
The woman got a stalking injunction against Kingos but that didn’t stop the mentally-ill man.

[GatewayPundit] In multiple swing states flash drives (USBs) used in the 2020 Election process were reported either missing or suspiciously inserted into the voting systems used in the election.
Arizona
In Arizona, on November 5th a home was raided and USBs were obtained along with hard drives and computers.
What was an individual doing with these items only a couple of days after the election?
Georgia
In the State Farm Arena in Fulton County Georgia we identified numerous activities where USBs were transferred suspiciously between election personnel. One was a strange pass between a mother and her daughter, two elections workers made famous due to their suspicious activities during the election
Another suspicious pass occurred with a guy we labeled the "USB Guy".
In Gwinnett County an official admitted to taking data from the Election Management System, plugging it into a laptop, then filtering it with Excel. This circumvented the rules that external software isn't allowed on election machines. However, rather than being upset with this activity, Georgia election COO (or whatever his title is) Gabe Sterling went off on the media for reporting this.
Pennsylvania
On October 1, 2020, it was reported that an election laptop and memory sticks (USBs) were stolen in Pennsylvania
On November 12th, only a few days after the election, a report was released from the Trump team stating that outsiders with USBs and VCards were allowed in Pennsylvania counting areas with no observers present.
In late November in Pennsylvania, a very credible witness described how he personally observed dozens of USB cards being uploaded to voting machines which resulted in 50,000 votes for Joe Biden in a short period of time. (This may be the same individual who was referenced in the report above.)
Wisconsin
We reported on a missing flash drive in Milwaukee at the same time the city recorded 120,000 votes, all for Joe Biden, on the morning of November 4th.
In Summary
One IT expert reached out to us a few days after the election and shared some information on the voting systems used in US elections. This IT expert located a previous audit report from an audit of the Dominion voting system in California. In the audit report the state of California showed a high-level diagram of the Dominion system which is likely similar to the set up in Pennsylvania and other locations:
This diagram showed that there are laptops or workstations onsite that some of the workers can access after the ballot images are scanned in. Our expert stated that he kept thinking about the USB drives and immediately noticed this is where election data (i.e. forged/faked images) could be inserted or changed.
When a number of USBs in a location go missing or are lost, the proper response would be for the location or district where the USBs went missing to replace all USBs in the locations or districts with similar credentials as the missing USBs. There is no indication that this happened in the 2020 Election.
In addition, per a discussion with one top security expert, the protocol related to the transfer of USBs in Arizona and other states appears to have changed for this election. Rather than individuals from each location transporting the USB to the tabulation centers and signing off on their activities which provides the proper chain of control, this year something different took place. Individuals from the state or from some election-related entity picked up the USBs at all locations and transported them to the location where the results were tabulated. The reason for this change was blamed on COVID or rather, COVID was used to make this change.
This whole scenario opened the door to manipulation of votes through the USBs before they were delivered to the location where they were to be counted.
The safekeeping and security of USBs used in the 2020 Election were very weak or even absent. There is evidence showing a pattern of USB abuse in swing states where Biden was eventually awarded the win.
In a previous installment, I pointed out that in On Liberty, John Stuart Mill advocated for minority opinion to be specially "encouraged and countenanced,"1 and thus that Mill was not an absolute free market thinker where opinion is concerned. Mill suggested that minority opinion should not only be tolerated but requires special encouragement in order to gain a fair hearing. Such special encouragement would amount to the subsidization of opinion, most likely by the state. Thus, Mill did not argue for a free and fair "marketplace of ideas."
It should be noted here that "the marketplace of ideas" is not only an analogy, where commodities are to markets what ideas are to the public square. The public square is also market in its own right, and not only metaphorically associated with the market. The expression "the marketplace of ideas" somewhat obscures rather than clarifying the situation of opinion.
Further, I argued that Mill's advocacy for special treatment of minority opinion does not solve the problem of "social tyranny," which Mill suggested is "more formidable than many kinds of political oppression."2 Rather, when minority opinion is foisted on the majority through special sanctions or subsidies, "social tyranny" is actually increased rather than diminished. To the extent that a majority is unwillingly subjected to minority opinion, the majority is tyrannized.
This argument begs the question: What about the opinion of minorities? After all, the mere mention of minority opinion invokes minorities themselves. Don't the opinions of minorities require special encouragement, special sanctions, especially when said opinions have to do with fair and equal treatment of minorities themselves? Doesn't a free market in opinion, or an unfettered marketplace of ideas, drown out or otherwise suppress the opinions of minorities? Wouldn't a free market in opinion thus serve to perpetuate discrimination, lack of recognition, or unfair treatment? Isn't the state required to rectify the situation through special subsidies for opinion?
Leaving the nonremunerated voicing of opinion aside - that is, opinion expressed casually or even in public demonstrations; the question becomes whether in the actual marketplace of ideas, state subsidies are necessary for the opinions of minorities to get a fair hearing.
The question implies that state actors are specially qualified or motivated to subsidize minority opinion in order to rectify the unfair treatment of minorities that the state is the most qualified entity for intervening in opinion to favor minorities. But it is easily demonstrated that the market provides more incentives to advocate for the fair treatment of minorities than does the state. Markets encourage legal equality among buyers and sellers. The state, meanwhile, has no monopoly on equal treatment to say the least. Quite to the contrary, states have more incentives to discriminate against particular groups, as state prerogatives often depend on discrimination. Consider the treatment of the Japanese and Germans in America during World War II, or the treatment of Middle Easterners after 9/11. (Notice how discrimination against Middle Easterners morphed into the consternation about "Islamophobia" when the prerogatives of the state shifted from "the war on terror" under George W. Bush to the incorporation of Islamic immigrants into the electorate under Barack Obama.)
Thus, we should be quite skeptical when states impose the opinion of minorities on the majority through special programs in schools and elsewhere. Such programs likely involve "positive discrimination" against particular groups, consistent with state objectives.
In fact, discrimination is precisely what is involved in the teaching of critical race theory in schools, the military, the intelligence agencies, and in other government agencies today. Critical race theory is a minority opinion that even most blacks do not agree with. It is being foisted on the majority to establish discrimination against "whites," in order to destroy a political contingent deemed inimical to the Democratic Party run state. It is a means for marginalizing oppositional elements and driving others into the voting ranks of the Democratic Party by means of ideology. The state imposition of minority opinion does not serve minorities.
[Breitbart] Recent reports claim that a second data breach at Microsoft-owned LinkedIn has exposed the personal data of 700 million users, which is more than 92 percent of the platform's total 756 million users.
9to5Mac reports that a second LinkedIn data breach has reportedly exposed the data of 700 million users and the database is currently for sale on the dark web. The user information reportedly includes phone numbers, physical addresses, geolocation data, and inferred salaries.
The hacker who obtained the data posted a sample of 1 million records and checks confirm that the data is both genuine and up-to-date. It was reported by RestorePrivacy that the hacker appears to have exploited the official LinkedIn API to download the. The same method was used in a similar breach in April.
On June 22nd, a user of a popular hacker advertised data from 700 Million LinkedIn users for sale. The user of the forum posted up a sample of the data that includes 1 million LinkedIn users. We examined the sample and found it to contain the following information:
Email Addresses
Full names
Phone numbers
Physical addresses
Geolocation records
LinkedIn username and profile URL
Personal and professional experience/background
Genders
Other social media accounts and usernames
Based on our analysis and cross-checking data from the sample with other publicly available information, it appears all data is authentic and tied to real users. Additionally, the data does appear to be up to date, with samples from 2020 to 2021.
No passwords are included but the data is still valuable as it can be used to assist in identity theft attacks and convincing phishing attempts that can be used to obtain login credentials for both LinkedIn and various other sites. When the previous breach took place, LinkedIn confirmed that 500 million records included data obtained from its server but claimed that more than one source was used. The company has yet to respond to a request for comment by 9to5Mac on the latest breach.

The sea level in Boston increased approximately 1/2 inch during the past century. The claim that another city on the same ocean achieving an 8" rise in sea level is world-class codswallop.

They’ve been draining the underlying aquifers in Florida,
I understand, leading to sinkholes among other problems. Also, Raj’s logic is devastating,

Raj, it's entirely possible that the sea level only rose 1/2 inch in Boston, while it rose 8 inches in Florida. I mean - look at a map. Florida is below Boston. Everyone knows that water flows downhill. Q.E.D.

On June 11,2021 after the US Navy tested the survivability of an aircraft carrier by detonation of large bomb, and creating a 3.9 magnitude earthquake, Florida has registered four earthquakes in 12 days.
In the interim a building collapsed in the 12 day earthquake zone....
Coincidence ?
The last earthquake in this zone was this morning,

Sea level is also higher where the earth's density is less. Gravity, doncha know. Mass has more mass from solid rock; Florida is less dense, geologically. But I like the settlement angle, too.

[JPost] - Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef described Israel’s school core curriculum studies program as "nonsense" and said pupils should study in yeshivas instead where only religious studies are taught.
Yosef’s comments sparked criticism toward the Sephardi chief rabbi, who was accused of promoting dependence on government handouts and charitable donations instead of advancing self-reliance.
"There is nothing like the holy Torah, the Torah is above everything," said Yosef in a recent synagogue address, first reported by the Kikar Shabbat news website.
"If a pupil is asked where do you want to go, a yeshiva high school [where religious studies are taught together with the core curriculum] or a holy yeshiva, there is no doubt, a holy yeshiva, there is no doubt," declared the chief rabbi.
"There they learn Torah without secular subjects, without the core curriculum, without all this nonsense, they sit and learn." Talk about back seat drivers.
[National File] Sheila Jackson Lee Campaign Assistant, A Convicted Forger, Mailed In False 2020 Ballot Applications
Identities of living and dead people were stolen in Harris County, Texas to fraudulently vote in the 2020 election, according to bombshell audio obtained by NATIONAL FILE. A convicted forger who mailed the fraudulent ballot applications in Democrat Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee’s district worked as a campaign assistant for Sheila Jackson Lee’s 2020 campaign, and has gotten paid by Jackson Lee’s campaign efforts in the past. The Joe Biden campaign’s 2020 Texas political director Dallas Jones oversaw this alleged voter fraud operation and he was interrogated by the FBI in the last weeks of the 2020 election according to insiders. The audio below includes phone calls in which people confirm that their identities or the identities of their dead relatives were stolen in Harris County. This information has been provided to the Texas Secretary of State for the purpose of aiding Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office in formal investigations.
AUDIO CLIP 1: WOMAN SURPRISED TO FIND OUT SHE HAS BEEN VOTING: “They’ve got a Sylvia Thomas…voting in Harris County,” said private investigator and former FBI Special Surveillance Group member Charles Marler, who called Sylvia Thomas and correctly cited her February 19, 1940 birth date. Sylvia Thomas says “I’ve been away from Harris County” and confirmed that she has not voted in Harris County in recent years even though someone has been obtaining absentee ballots on her behalf. The woman does not recognize the name of Tomar Bishop, who obtained the absentee ballots associated with Thomas’ identity, or Gloria Palmer, the recent Sheila Jackson-Lee campaign PAC vendor who oversaw Tomar Bishop. Sylvia Thomas wonders “What else are they doing?” in addition to fraudulently voting on her behalf. Here is Sylvia Thomas’ absentee ballot application in the 2020 election (with her address obscured), which is just one of the fraudulent absentee ballot applications in the possession of NATIONAL FILE:
[THE LIBERTY DAILY] When a team of researchers in Australia from Flinders University and La Trobe used powerful computers to model the protein receptors in a number of animal species, their goal was to see how the coronavirus' spike protein attached itself to them. What they discovered shocked them.
Unlike anything that could have developed over time in nature and jumped to humans, Covid-19 demonstrates a unique design that was intended to attack humans specifically. This is, of course, impossible if one were to believe everything (anything) the Chinese Communist Party has said about the coronavirus. But considering all the evidence is pointing to the theory that Covid-19 was artificially produced through gain-of-function research as either a way to develop defenses against biological weapons or a biological weapon itself, we should heed this reports findings.
The theory was that if the coronavirus attached itself readily to an animal like a bat or a pangolin, it would have likely been the species that the bug used to make its leap into the human population. However, the modelling found that the coronavirus' spike protein was best suited to attacking protein receptors in humans.
"The computer modelling found the virus’s ability to bind to the bat ACE2 protein was poor relative to its ability to bind human cells," said Flinders University epidemiologist and vaccine researcher Professor Nikolai Petrovsky. "This argues against the virus being transmitted directly from bats to humans."
What the article doesn't say is what many, particularly in the intelligence and conspiracy communities, have been speculating about for a while. This appears to be a designer coronavirus. In other words, it was made to do exactly what it's doing now, namely spread across the human race at an alarming speed.
One can argue that if it was accidentally released, that this was a blessing because they were likely trying to make it more virulent and deadly. The "Biological Weapons Playbook" is pretty straight forward. Step one is to develop a disease that’s under their control. Step two is to make it a mass killer. Step three is to develop a treatment or vaccine to protect China’s own people while killing others. It would appear the coronavirus leaked out somewhere between steps one and two.
Nature didn't take bat soup and skip hundreds of generations of mutations to make Covid-19 tailor-made for humans. This was manufactured with intent. The only question is whether it was released intentionally or leaked prematurely.

The only question is whether it was released intentionally or leaked prematurely.
Notice how quickly, in the face of the usual vile bureaucratic incompetence, the West did in fact come up with means to neutralize or minimize the impact. It was no Black Plague. Which leads me to consider that it was a premature release more accidental than intentional, and that the target may not have been the West per se, but the intended target was to be more along the lines of the Uighur.
Given, there are too many $B$/Elites out there that feel we are in desperate need of a Major Population Reduction. It would not surprise me if the real plan was to trim the population to a more manageable number.
eg.Georgia Guidestones and the Ten Rules For An “Age of Reason.” 1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
2. Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity.
3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
4. Rule passion – faith – tradition – and all things with tempered reason.
5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials. 8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
9. Prize truth – beauty – love – seeking harmony with the infinite.
10. Be not a cancer on the earth – Leave room for nature – Leave room for nature.
BTW:
Read , (a more Scifi article than fact), study on the possible effects of mRNA Vax's may have on human reproductive cycles. But it does raise valid long term questions.
The US knew about HCQ for Covid a lot longer than March 2020. The initial discovery was made back in 2005 or so when "Covid" was still known under the original name of "SARS." In Thailand, I think, because it's in the SE Asian Malarial Zone and was one of the first countries impacted by SARS.
It was part of the response plan from back in 2005. When Fauci was appointed President back in March 2020 he threw that whole plan out. They created rigged studies where patients were given overdoses to "prove" the drug was unsafe and they still felt the need to create wholly fabricated data and publish it in the Lancet.
And all the medical professionals looked at the Lancet publishing fabricated data and _didn't ask any questions_.

#11 The paper was submitted in March 2020. The experiments were performed in 2019 - and then the snake oil salesman made it a part conservative ideology - who are China's "useful idiots"?

We've been reading all the classified traffic, that's how.
I only have access to open source information. But has been pointed out by people who know a great deal more than I on the subject, while some classified information is genuinely unavailable to the general public, much more is the classified analysis of unclassified information.
Despite some similarities, they have many differences, especially in terms of epidemiology. The main differences and similarities are summarized in Table Table11.
#23
They are about as similar as humans & squirrels.
Mammalian tetrapods! Virtually identical except for some scaling issues and a bit of epigenetics.
(I can't help it! For me, "Consider a spherical camel..." is both hilarious and a useful approximation)
#26
And it doesn't disturb you that the Lancet was found publishing, allegedly peer reviewed, a paper showing HCQ was ineffective and dangerous, with completely fabricated data? It doesn't make you want to go back and look at the other papers, to see what was wrong with them? Or to look at the PDR (hopefully one from 2019 or earlier) to see where they were dismanaging things?
#28
It bothers me that the only clinical trial evidence (which is only evidence that counts) for HCQ efficiency in treating COVID comes not just from China, but from Wuhan Institute in China. The same place the virus that killed 6 million people, so far, came from.
It bothers me that there are people in 21st century who believe in miracle cures.
It bothers me that people think that high-school debating club strategies can have relevance in the real world.
It bothers me that you and your "conservative" pals ignore statistics from Brazil where HCQ use was widespread.
But it doesn't bother me even a little bit that some people who rely on HCQ instead of vaccination will die.
#31
The French doc had some (anecdotal) success with early treatment, around March 2020, which impressed me. [no piling on!]
I swear I read the Indian doctors were dispensing it as a prophylactic earlier this year, but the effect seems to have been overcome by the Indian Variant.

This sounds similar to the notion of anti-virus software companies working on future computer virus detection and another division actually producing the future computer virus. It is good for business. Probably why Fauci and Gates had a vaccine nearly ready for use against COVID. Probably just a premature release due to pending Trump landslide in 2020 election.

Part of this is because it's hard to find stuff these days when the search engines _are the people who helped fund the virus_. Another factor is that the people who helped fund the virus _are also the people who were running the alleged trials in the west that showed it it didn't work_.
8. You publish, in the world's most-read medical journal, the Lancet, an observational study from a massive worldwide database named Surgisphere (which includes 96,000 hospitalized Covid cases) that says use of chloroquine drugs caused significantly increased mortality. This was said to be the paper to end all controversy about HCQ and Covid-19. You make sure that all major media report on this result. This was to be the nail in the coffin for hydroxychloroquine. Then you quickly have 3 European countries announce they will not allow doctors to prescribe the drug. Soon additional countries ban its use for Covid.
9. You do your best to ride out any controversy over the veracity of this paper, never admitting culpability. Even after hundreds of people criticized this Lancet observational study due to easily identified fabrications--the database used in the study did not exist, and the claimed numbers of cases did not agree with known numbers of cases--the Lancet held firm for two weeks, which served to muddy the waters about the trial, until finally 3 of the 4 coauthors (but not the Lancet nor the author who purportedly owned the database) retracted the study. Neither the authors nor the journal have admitted responsibility, let alone explained what it was that induced them to coauthor and publish such an obvious fraud.
You made sure very few media reported that the data were fabricated, the "study" was fraudulent, and the drugs were actually safe. Even though the story of the database company, Surgisphere, was full of scandalous details, most media ignored it. The story of the study's retraction went largely unnoticed by the public. You made sure most people remember the original (false) story: that chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine frequently kill patients."
This isn't high school debate. This is you being lied to, and finding out, and failing to adequately follow up.

Freudian projection. All other considerations aside*, I don't believe that researchers outside USA would falsify results and kill people to harm Trump - he ain't that important.
*I do have some minor knowledge in the subjects of immunology, epidemiology, and medical methodology**.

Well, by those standards, I was nearly killed by the establishment-approved IV antibiotics the surgeons had me on for a couple months back in 201whatever... my kidneys stopped working and they hospitalized me and _kept me on them_ because it was the lesser of two evils. _Maybe_ they were right, I'm alive, but it was a risk.
But with the regulations surrounding HCQ, you can't get it outside a hospital and you don't get them when you go in the hospital. You get Remdesivir _only after the virus has built up a good head of steam_ and you need hospitalization.
Do you know what medicine those people in Israel who got the vaccine and then the viral infection are being given in the hospital now? I'm curious.
(More specifically, did you know that Remdesivir is currently recommended _against_ by the WHO at the present time, and has been since about November?)

[Vice] The founder of BET is pushing a $14 trillion reparations proposal he says would provide enough to close the giant Black/white wealth gap.
Robert L. Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television and America’s first Black billionaire, wants a check. He wants it from the government. And he wants it to come with an apology for slavery, Jim Crow, and hundreds of years of racism.
The 75-year-old media magnate owns several homes, heads an asset management firm, and was the first Black person to own a majority stake in an NBA team. He doubts that check will ever come, but he sees a new kind of reparations—being called by a different name so as not be “divisive” or “controversial”—happening already.
The new “reparations” is critical race theory education, it’s the housing grant program in Evanston, Illinois, it’s the $5 billion of targeted support and debt relief for Black farmers, and it’s the $50 billion in corporate pledges in the wake of George Floyd’s murder dedicated to combating systemic racism and inequality. (Even though just $250 million, or 0.5%, has actually materialized so far.)
“That’s what’s happening to the reparations—it’s been cut up into small pieces of things that look and feel like, ‘We want to end systemic racism, we want to end police brutality and shootings and to provide financing to Black small business owners,’” Johnson tells VICE News.
“And then people can say, ‘Well, we really don’t need reparations because when you put all of these things together, it’s reparations. It’s just not one big bill or asking this country to stand up and apologize, and you’re not asking people to pay out of their paychecks.”
But that’s the problem, Johnson says. He calls the current approach “placebo paternalism.”
“Reparations had two components: The first was atonement, and the other was monetary,” he adds. “With no doubt whatsoever, it was supposed to come from the government representing the people of the country. It was reimbursement, or recompense if you will, for the harm.”
The fight for reparations has evolved significantly since The Atlantic published Ta-Nehisi Coates’ “The Case for Reparations” in 2014. It has grown from a struggle to raise awareness and build sympathy for the cause, to a campaign that seeks to calculate exactly what is owed and how it should be distributed and demand full payment.
Andre Perry, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, is leading a research project that will quantify the economic harm caused by slavery and its centuries-long legacy of racism. He views the recent compensatory actions more as steps in the right direction toward a government reparations program than a substitute for or a diversion from one.
“The injury around racism occurred at federal, state, and local levels as well as other institutions—colleges, companies, churches—so each has a responsibility to address past wrongs,” Perry says. “We can’t wait for the federal government to issue reparations. In fact, for me, reparations won’t come from Washington, it’ll go to Washington.”

We have been paying reparations ever since Lyndon Johnson's New Society in the nineteen sixties. An unexpected consequence, as Johnson damn-well knows, was the destruction of the Black family.

The entertainment industry across the board is trash and 90% of the problem, and itself seems to be full of sex slaves, especially of the underage kind.

And how much have we spent since Johnson's "Great Society" spending programs? Let that go toward the $14T, I bet some are due a refund.

Fine, you get $50k. In return you forfeit all US citizenship, property, holdings, etc ever made here in the US. You get on a plane to Africa with your clothes and your check. That's it. Everything you 'made' here in the racist US is forfeit.

...Wish it was that easy. I would direct your attention to California, where the legal weed program has been so well run that the state is trying to bail them out.
The problem with legal weed is that since governments gotta govern, they also gotta regulate and tax - which means that the illegal operations, unburdened by such minor concerns, will always have a price advantage.

similar situation in Colorado
regulation has made legal pot more expensive than the illegal kind;
a big problem with private sale of marijuana is that even the regulated kind has dozens of chemicals with not well researched properties; smoking it adds dozens more chemicals
all this while the legal sale of cannabinol, a.k.a., CBD has increased from 500M in 2018 to projected 1.6 B in 2022

The question was posited how many of those wildfires were started at illegal MJ farms?
This was all pretty well gamed before the first store opened. Part of it, is suddenly there was a lot of cover for 'doing it on your own' because normal.

A video recorded by a villager in Norte de Santander, Colombia, captured the moment a helicopter transporting President Iván Duque came under fireThe incident took place Friday near the border with Venezuela
The helicopter was able to land without issue at Camilo Daza Airport in Cúcuta
The military helicopter was struck by several bullets which were fired from weapons belonging to the Venezuelan military
Duque was accompanied by two senior officials, the governor of Norte de Santander and other government officials; No injuries were reported
Rebel group National Liberation Army and dissidents of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) 33rd Front may have plotted the attack
The sketches of the two male suspects they believe to have been involved in the shooting were released
Authorities are offering reward of 3 million Colombian pesos, about $809,000
[DW] It is still unclear why Abdirahman J., a 24-year-old Somali man, fatally stabbed three women in the city of Wurzburg. DW's Johanna Rudiger first met him in 2018, when he and a friend had been attacked by thugs in eastern Germany.
The eastern German city of Chemnitz was a tinderbox in late August and early September of 2018.
News of a German-Cuban man being killed by asylum seekers from Iraq and Syria triggered anti-migration protests from the right-wing scene. These spilled over into riots, and also spawned counter-demonstrations.

[ToloNews] Health officials in Baghlan province on Tuesday said that over 100 non-combatants were killed and maimed--among them women and kiddies--in recent festivities between the Afghan cops and the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... in the province.
Afghan security officials in Baghlan have said that the Taliban once again tried to infiltrate Pul-e-Khumri city on Monday night, however, security forces managed to repel the attacks.
"We hit them. Their corpses are still lying behind those walls. They have not transferred their dead bodies so far," said Raz Mohammad, an Afghan commando officer in Baghlan, referring to the battles with the Taliban.
Civilians spoke of being caught in the fighting.
"Firing occurred, my brother fell down on the ground, I also got a bullet, then I was unconscious," said a resident of Baghlan, Naseer Ahmad.
Health officials said that over a 100 civilians have been killed and maimed in Baghlan in the past one month.
"We had 85 injuries and 21 deaths," said Mohibulah Habib, the head of the Baghlan health department.
Last night the Taliban launched an attack on Doshi district in the province and it was repelled by Afghan forces.
"With the support of our air force, the enemy suffered up to 45 casualties on several fronts," said Farid Sayedkheli, the commander of the Third Division of the Afghan National Army.
Currently, Afghan forces are taking up positions to defend the bustling provincial capital of Pul-e-Khumri.
Security forces said that they are planning to launch a clearance operation in the area to prevent the Taliban threat to the city.
[NINANEWS] A force of the Popular Mobilization arrested a dangerous terrorist in al-Muqdadiyah district in Diyala Governorate.
The intelligence official of the 24th Brigade of the Popular Mobilization, Sabah Zaini, told the correspondent of the National Iraqi News Agency / NINA / today that "a force from the brigade's intelligence, and with careful intelligence follow-up, was able to arrest the so-called (Abdul-Jabbar Tammuz Jawamir), nicknamed (Abu Hajar) while he was trying to plant explosives in al-Moalemeen neighborhood market in the center of Muqdadiya, and he is the assistant commander who was killed a few days ago by the intelligence of the 24th Brigade (Osama Ali Naher al-Mahdawi).
He added, "the arrest of the terrorist Jawamir prevented a human massacre in Muqdadiyah, indicating that the terrorist was taken to one of the security investigation centers."
[NINANEWS] A security force killed a terrorist while he was trying to blow up an electric power transmission tower northeast of Baquba, the center of Diyala Governorate.
A security source told the correspondent of the National Iraqi News Agency / NINA / that a security force managed to kill an ISIS member while he was trying to plant two bombs under one of the electric power transmission towers in an agricultural area within the borders of Muqdadiya and al-Abara northeast of Baqubah.
[OneIndia] A top commander of the Lashkar-e-Tayiba has been killed in an encounter 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.... . The encounter took place at the Malhoora Parimpora are in Srinagar, in which Lashkar terrorist Nadeem Abrar was killed.
A terrorist of Pakistain origin too was killed in the encounter.
Handler? ISI messenger? Finance guy?
Following the shootout, the security forces found several incriminating materials, including arms and ammunition.
IGP Kashmir Zone, Vijay Kumar said that a Pak terrorist and a top Lashkar-e-Tayiba commander, Abrar have been killed in the encounter with security forces at Malhoora Parimpora in Srinagar.
Abrar who was arrested by the police was leading the security forces to his hideout, while an accomplice of his shot at the group, injuring three CRPF personnel.
Oh my lord, we have us a genuwine Encounter!
Following a long interrogation involving a barrel of mustache wax, tea, and biscuits for the interrogators, our miscreant, loved still by his dear old mother despite being wanted on twelve planets for mopery and dopery on the spaceways, among other dreadful acts of bad manners, promises to take the coppers to capture his gang in their secret hideout.
But...”Hark!” quoth his Number 2 Henchman [that is a size, dear Reader, not his rank in the organization]. “My SpideySense is tingling. Quick! Attack the Good Guys awaiting without!” [Do not ask “Without what,” dear Reader, lest you be bopped on the nose as you would thoroughly deserve for such a dreadful solecism — in both senses.]
Officials said that this led to a shootout between the security forces and terrorists. At the end of the battle Abrar was killed.
In the crossfire, a single bullet found its way into his brain behind his left ear, after which his henchmen, who came in all sizes between 2 and 15, an impressive feat for a mere 4.5 henches, disappeared as if they had never been.
The killing of Abrar is a major victory for the forces. He was involved in the killing of former special police officer Fayaz Ahmed, his wife and daughter at their home in the Tral area of Pulwama district.
Kumar who visited Ahmed's home had earlier said that unidentified murderous Moslems were involved in the attack.
The J&K Police said that Abrar was also involved in the attack on the CRPF at Lawaypora in March. In the attack three CRPF personnel were martyred and their rifles were snatched by the terrorists.

Ha ha, TW. Your re-imagining of it is like out of Mad magazine, my favourite goof literature by the way.
Nadeem Abrar Bhatt was on the blacklist. A list we make and shorten every month by a few names. The killing of civs is forgotten easily here, but killing a cop's family is always avenged. The security forces are all police and have to workaround the judicial curbs on common sense.
So you have the guy in custody, he gave himself up by raising his hands, how do you kill him? You take him out to 'recreate the scene of the crime' or 'recover evidence' and voila! Trouble ensues! He gets killed in the encounter. The thing with Paki insurgents is, they have no claimants, no lawyers, no country, they just don't exist [winks].

*Blush* Encounter episodes are a Rantburg literary tradition, Spoter B, compelled by the reportorial efforts and eccentric locutions of Bangladesh’s first Rapid Action Battalion.
The Indian police are much more polished, never speaking of rounds of bullet or shutter guns.

[DW] Afghan immigrants colonists living in the German city of Hamburg are wary of the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan. They told DW that the Taliban gains have dashed their hopes of returning to their country one day.
Hamburg is home to a large community of Afghan immigrants colonists. The city's Steindamm street, which is nicknamed "small Kabul," is full of shops and restaurants owned by Afghans.
The Kabul Restaurant is usually crowded on the weekend. Many Germans and Afghans come here to enjoy authentic Afghan food. Paintings of famous places in Afghanistan remind the immigrants colonists of their home country.

[The Wrap] Bill Maher had some rather harsh words for the good ol’ U.S. of A. on Friday night’s "Real Time," saying that China is overtaking our place on the world stage because Americans are busy obsessing over culture wars and not doing anything productive.
"You’re not going to win the battle for the 21st century if, you are a silly people, and Americans are a silly people," Maher said, citing a quote from "Lawrence of Arabia" that as long as they stay a bunch of squabbling tribes, we will remain a silly people.
"Well, we’re the silly people now," he said. "You know, who doesn’t care that there’s a stereotype of a Chinese man in a Dr. Seuss book? China. All 1.4 billion of them could give a crouching tiger, flying f— because they’re not a silly people. If anything, they are as serious as a prison fight."
*Snicker* Caught with their pants down as a result of the attention following the 2020 election. A promising omen for 2022 and 2024. Also, let us note that while Mr. Adams is the only Democratic law and order candidate, he appears otherwise Progressive.
[Zero Hedge] Hours after the New York City's Board of Elections released an updated ranked voting tally for the Democratic Primary which showed frontrunner Eric Adams' lead shrinking considerably, BOE officials acknowledged a 'discrepancy' in the ballot count.
At issue: on the day of the primary, the BOE reported just under 800,000 votes with 96.6% of scanners reporting. On Tuesday, however, the tally was 941,832 votes - nearly 20% higher, according to PIX11.
We are aware there is a discrepancy in the unofficial RCV round by round elimination report. We are working with our RCV technical staff to identify where the discrepancy occurred. We ask the public, elected officials and candidates to have patience.
— NYC Board of Elections (@BOENYC) June 29, 2021
The new figures narrows Adams' lead over former sanitation commissioner Kathryn Garcia to just 51.9% (368,898) to 48.9% (352,990) - while there are still 100,000 absentee ballots which need to be processed, and could tip Garcia over the top
In response, Adams' campaign fired off a statement questioning the count, and demanding an explanation for the "irregularities."
"The vote total just released by the Board of Elections is 100,000-plus more than the total announced on election night, raising serious questions," reads the statement. "We have asked the Board of Elections to explain such a massive increase and other irregularities before we comment on the Ranked Choice Voting projection."
Eric Adams says "irregularities" in ranked choice voting results for the New York City mayor race raises "serious questions," as absentee ballots could sway the election.
Eric Adams: 51.9% (368,898)
Kathryn Garcia: 48.9 (352,990)
— Alex Salvi (@alexsalvinews) June 29, 2021
Liberals, in response, accused Adams of going 'full Trump' and spreading 'the big lie' - that the election isn't as secure as advertised.
Seems pretty insulting to imply that Eric Adams is somehow following and copying Trump instead of making his own choices.
Seems desperately partisan to blame Trump for a Democratic NYC Mayoral candidate's actions.
Why are so many liberals rooting for Garcia over Adams? https://t.co/WsksLgYgY2
[IsraelTimes] As Israel seeks to link post-war rebuilding in the Strip with prisoner swap, Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra) ...knaves, footpads, and adjusters employed by the Biden Crime Family. They leave a trail of havoc everywhere they turn their attention, be it the nation's borders, the Keystone XL Pipeline, or epidemics, sometimes on purpose, most times through sheer arrogant ineptitude. They learnt this stuff in college, you know... concerned demand will derail Cairo negotiations aimed at maintaining ceasefire.
The Biden administration opposes Israel’s desire to condition post-war reconstruction projects 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... on the return of the bodies of the fallen IDF soldiers held by Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, two Western diplomats told The Times of Israel Monday.
In the past, Jerusalem had agreed to hold a separate series of indirect talks with Hamas — one for a prisoner exchange, and another for Gaza reconstruction and securing a long-term truce.
However, there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly... Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is intent on combining the two issues, with an Israeli official telling The Times of Israel that the new government won’t enable long-term rehabilitation projects as long as Hamas refuses to return the bodies of IDF soldiers Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul.
The bodies of the two Israeli servicemen have been held since the previous Gaza war in 2014. Two Israeli civilians, Abera Menginstu and Hisham al-Sayed, are also being held in the Hamas-run enclave after entering Gaza on their own accord. Their families say they suffer from mental illness.
"All plans to rehabilitate Gaza must include bringing back our boys," Israel’s Ambassador to the US and UN Gilad Erdan said Sunday at an event with American Jewish leaders.
An Israeli security delegation passed along this message last week during the first round of indirect talks held in Cairo since Bennett’s government was sworn in on June 13, according to a Western diplomat familiar with the matter.
But for Egyptian mediators well-versed in Hamas’s position, "this was a non-starter," a diplomat familiar with the negotiations said.
Hamas believes it can receive far more than humanitarian gestures in exchange for the bodies and civilians it currently holds, the diplomat said, following the 2011 prisoner swap for captive IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. That exchange saw former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu agree to release over 1,000 Paleostinian security prisoners.
The hardened position of the new Israeli government is also opposed by the Biden administration, which is concerned that a breakdown of talks will lead to renewed violence — something the US wants to avoid in order to focus on other foreign policy issues, a Western diplomat said.
[THEHILL] Arizona’s Maricopa County announced Monday that it plans to replace all of the voting machines that were turned over to the state Senate and other officials overseeing the audit of 2020 presidential election results.
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors released its response to a May letter from Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D), in which she expressed concerns "regarding the security and integrity of these machines, given that the chain of custody, a critical security tenet, has been compromised and election officials do not know what was done to the machines while under Cyber Ninjas’ control."
In response, the county told Hobbs it "shares your concerns" and added that the board acknowledges the secretary of state’s "authority as Arizona’s Chief Election Officer to determine what equipment is acceptable for use in Arizona’s elections."
"Accordingly, I write to notify you that Maricopa County will not use the subpoenaed election equipment in any future election," Monday’s letter added.
In a blurb announcing the decision, the county vowed to "never use equipment that could pose a risk to free and fair elections."
The announcement comes after the Arizona Senate in April acquired the voting machines from Dominion Voting Systems, in addition to nearly 2.1 million ballots and voter information from the Nov. 3 election through a court-approved subpoena as part of its election recount.
The Arizona Senate turned over the voting machines to Cyber Ninjas, the firm contracted to oversee the audit, to determine if any of the equipment had been hacked or manipulated.
A previous independent audit ordered by Maricopa County has already found that there were no irregularities or issues with the voting machines or their tabulation of votes.
The Cyber Ninjas audit was spurred by Republicans in the state who expressed concerns on the validity and integrity of the county’s election results after repeated unsubstantiated claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 election that have been advanced by former President Trump and his allies.
Hobbs, among other Democrats and voting analysts, have condemned the ongoing audit, which has lasted much longer than previously anticipated, as a partisan move based on unfounded conspiracy theories.
Lots of emoting, in the vaunted Zero Hedge way, but also information..
[Zero Hedge] Haunted by the recent tragedy in Surfside, some residents of ocean-side apartments in South Florida have been searching for information about the structural integrity of their condominiums. The residents of a Collins Avenue building with prior warnings in Miami Beach said they are horrified about what they found.
The fear started after Champlain Towers South, at 8777 Collins Ave., turned into the epicenter of heartbreak and grief on Thursday morning. Some of the residents of the Champlain Towers North and East decided to evacuate.
Days following the incident, two studies on the 12-story residential structure came to light. One was a field study from 2018 by an engineering firm that discovered structural issues. Another study was from 2020 when scientists analyzed satellite data to find the tower sunk in the 1990s.
On Monday, residents at Maison Grande Condominium, an 18-story building with 502 units, built in 1971, were worried about the safety of their building, according to WPLG Local 10.
Photographs show rusted steel and cracked concrete pillars and ceilings in the parking garage of the building - a similar observation that was observed at Champlain South.
City records show that five inspections determined the building is an "unsafe structure." Other warnings include the two-story parking garage and pool deck "have reached the end of their useful life and require repair, replacement," or "a combination thereof."
One city official wrote in late 2020, "Structure with evidence of spalling concrete. Need to submit a report signed and sealed by [an] engineer to evaluate the structure together with methods of repairs."
Near the building's entrance reads a red sign that warns: "unsafe structure" building violation notice.
Twitter user "Billy Corben" posted a shocking video of the structural deterioration unfolding inside the parking garage of the building.
Concerned resident at 18-story @MiamiBeachNews waterfront condominium built in 1971 took this video of a section of the underground parking lot directly beneath the pool. She says, "I'm honestly scared of going home. This is frighteningly similar [to Champlain Towers South]." pic.twitter.com/pC1G5ouuLT
— Billy Corben (@BillyCorben) June 28, 2021
After his post went viral, he said the condo building association announced a meeting to certify the building for "50-years."
UPDATE: Hours after my post, this Miami Beach condo announced a meeting "on our upcoming Pool Replacement/Garage Concrete Restoration Project" and "50-year Certification."

[AMERICANTHINKER] Willard Mitt Romney, aka Pierre Delecto ...former governor of Massachussetts, the Publican nominee for president in 2012, now Senator from Utah. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals. He is currently a trans Republican and a member in good standing of the Never Trump Party, attempting to assume the mantle of the late John McCain... prides himself in being a thorn in President Trump’s side, but he is just a gnat buzzing about the leftmedia that now reveres him. He’s become a joke but has yet to realize that. Romney wins the prize among the pathetic group of RINOS who think they can vanquish Trump by treating him and his supporters like pond scum. The problem with the left and the RINOS is that they assume, with no hint of irony, that they are smart and the rest of us are not. Actually, it is they who are blinkered to the point of blindness.
They take for granted their revealed conviction that Trump supporters and the American citizens of our middle and working classes are unworthy of respect as are all those migrants colonists they’ve invited to cross our border without regard for the horrific indignities they must endure on their journey north. The Biden/Harris administration knows full well that those women and kiddies are subjected to all manner of abuse and torture, that each migrant must pay the cartels, and can enter the country only with their paid permission and wearing a bracelet to confirm that permission.

[DW] The Netherlands has become a major gateway for drugs into Europe, mainly through the major international port city of Rotterdam.
Police in the Netherlands seized almost three tons of cocaine and €11.3 million ($13.5 million) in cash on a farm near Amsterdam's Schiphol airport.
The cocaine has an estimated street value of €195 million, according to Dutch authorities. It's one of the biggest drug hauls in the country so far.
Officers also confiscated six guns, silencers and ammunition, Amsterdam police said in a statement.
Authorities also seized luxury items such as expensive wines and an antique car.
WHEN DID THE RAID TAKE PLACE?
The police raid took place last Thursday, when law enforcement officers raided a property near the village of De Kwakel, a few kilometers south of Schiphol airport.
It came after a long-running investigation.
Two men, aged 54 and 29, were arrested on suspicion of involvement in large-scale drug trafficking.
They were presented before an investigating judge on Monday and were ordered to remain in jug for a further 14 days while investigations continue.
NETHERLANDS A GATEWAY FOR DRUGS INTO EUROPE
The cocaine "is most likely part of a South American drugs pipeline" and further arrests are expected, the police statement added.
The Netherlands has become a major gateway for drugs into Europe, mainly through its major international port of Rotterdam.
In April, Europol warned that the continent was being flooded with "unprecedented quantities" of cocaine.
Belgian, Dutch and German police in February seized a record 23 tons of cocaine destined for the Netherlands, worth billions of euros, after raids in Hamburg and Antwerp.

The Lucerne Hotel in the Upper West Side was one of the first hotels to be cleared out after the state of emergency in New York expired
Up to 200 homeless men lived at the Upper West Side hotel during the height of the pandemic, though only 68 were left when they were forced to leave Monday
They were being taken to 'congregate' shelters across the city
In total, around 9,000 homeless people are being moved from hotels to commercial shelters in the coming weeks
In those shelters, multiple people will likely have to sleep in the same room, a concern with the amount of homeless people vaccinated in the city not known
On Tuesday, The Blakely became the latest hotel to be cleared out of their homeless population, with the Kixby Hotel also seeing evictions on the same day
As the pandemic has waned, there has been a push to start reopening hotels, both across the city and across the country, which had similar hotel stays
The move to vacate the hotels comes as de Blasio's administration faces mounting pressure to curtail an alarming surge in crime
I shudder to think what it’ll take to get the hotels fit for business after a year of such tenants.
[IsraelTimes] Police say rocks, fireworks launched toward officers in flashpoint East Jerusalem neighborhood as near-nightly demonstrations persist.
Four Paleostinians were arrested during festivities that broke out in the flashpoint East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah Tuesday night.
Dozens of people gathered in the neighborhood protest the impending eviction of Paleostinian families. Some threw rocks and shot fireworks at officers, police said.
The four were arrested on suspicion of disturbing the peace and were taken for questioning, police said.
Officers used riot dispersal methods to clear protesters from the area, which has seen nearly nightly demonstrations and arrests.
The festivities came hours after police removed heavy concrete blocks used as bollards placed in the neighborhood following a ramming attack on a makeshift police post there last month.
Sheikh Jarrah has been a flashpoint of tensions in recent months, due to a series of pending evictions of multiple Paleostinian families living there. Israeli Jews backed by far right organizations have claimed the properties under a 1970 law mandating the transfer of homes held by Jordan into Israeli hands.
The looming evictions have sparked widespread anger among Paleostinians and Arab Israelis and international condemnation, and were blamed in part for the conflict between Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, and Israel last month 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 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.

[Garowe] After months of fighting, the Tigray Defense Forces [TDF] formerly known as Tigray People's Liberation Front [TPLF] finally took over Mekelle, the regional administrative capital of Tigray, where they lost control close to eight months ago.
Monday's progress has, however, caused mixed reactions did to conflicting reports. On one side, the TDF claimed to have flushed out ENDF, adding that the victory came after months of strategic movements leading to the consolidation of their bases.
They followed recent reports of an escalation in fighting between government troops and the Tigray's former governing party, the Tigray People's Liberation Front [TPLF], outside Mekelle.

[Dailywire via CFP] A new report from an investigative reporter who has been at the forefront of reporting on the origins of the coronavirus pandemic and the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) alleges that China discussed the threat that man-made viruses pose to mankind and how they might be weaponized to target certain groups of people.
David Asher, a top investigator who led the State Department’s investigation into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, an investigation that the Biden administration shut down, said that what China wrote in its declaration to the United Nations "essentially laid out a road map of developments in biotechnology pertinent to the biological weapons convention that the Chinese indicated as particularly salient." Makes you wonder about how the "Delta" variant just cropped up in India.
"It wasn’t clear from their declaration whether this was for potential offensive use of synthetic biology and other techniques ... but it certainly appears to lay out what they felt were going to be the drivers of a more potent offense in the future decade related to biotechnology," he said. "This is probably the most disturbing thing to note that there could be a type of population-targeting or ethnic targeting using biology, according to the Chinese. That doesn’t mean they did it in the case of Covid-19 or anything else but it definitely implied that they were fully aware that this is feasible and possible."

Curious that the Chicoms bought American DNA testing companies.
[AllAfrica] Today, the United States is designating Ousmane Illiassou Djibo - also known as Petit Chapori - as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) under section 1(a)(ii)(B) of Executive Order (E.O.) 13224.
As a result of this designation, U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in any transactions with Djibo. His property and interests in property subject to U.S. jurisdiction are blocked.
Ousmane Illiassou Djibo, a native Nigerien, is an 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.... of Iraq and Syria in the Greater Sahara (ISIS-GS) leader operating in the Menaka Region of Mali. Djibo is a close collaborator and key lieutenant of ISIS-GS leader, Adnan Abu Walid al-Sahrawi. Djibo directed subordinate ISIS-GS members to develop a network to kidnap or attack westerners in Niger and surrounding areas. Djibo has also taken part in numerous assaults on local forces. He led ISIS-GS fighters in the July 1, 2019 attack on the Nigerien Armed Forces (FAN) base in Inates, Tillaberi Region, Niger, and also provided the order for ISIS-GS fighters to take six Nigerien soldiers hostage during an ambush on Nigerien soldiers near Tongo Tongo on May 14, 2019.
ISIS-GS, which was designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and SDGT in May 2018, continues to threaten the peace, security, and stability of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso ...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other... . ISIS-GS emerged when Adnan Abu Walid al-Sahrawi and his followers split from al-Mourabitoun, an al-Qa'ida splinter group and U.S.-designated FTO and SDGT. al-Sahrawi first pledged allegiance to ISIS in May 2015, and ISIS acknowledged the pledge in October 2016.
Today's designation notifies the U.S. public and the international community that Ousmane Illiassou Djibo is a leader of a terrorist organization. Terrorist designations expose and isolate entities and individuals, and limit their access to the U.S. financial system. Moreover, designations can assist the law enforcement activities of U.S. agencies and other governments.

Pretty sure there's some self-mockery going on there. Folks who put it together probably cut their stumpy little culture-appropriating teeth on "In Living Color" and such. See if you don't like this bit that ran a week later:
[NYPOST] Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, officials have added Florida and four other states to a list of places where state-funded travel is banned over laws that purportedly discriminate against LGBTQ individuals.State Attorney General Rob Bonta, a Democrat, announced Monday that Arkansas, Montana, North Dakota and West Virginia had joined Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee and Texas on the no-go list, which was first created in 2016.
"When states discriminate against LGBTQ+ Americans, California law requires our office to take action," Bonta said in a statement. "These new additions to the state-funded travel restrictions list are about exactly that ... Rather than focusing on solving real issues, some politicians think it’s in their best interest to demonize trans youth and block life-saving care.

It's not like everyone else is rushing to conventions and confabs in CA these days. It's also one way to hide the hemorrhaging budgets of so many offices with a little wallpaper of political theater.

North Korea has pretty much banned foreign travel for decades. Perhaps California could construct a wall or initiate border paroling to keep everyone in. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about.

Fortunately, the invaders find that New Mexico is no better than the place they left and then continue on to the 'free stuff' cities in other states.
[Fort Worth Star] A motorcyclist pointed a gun at the driver of an SUV before the man fatally shot the motorcyclist on a freeway in Fort Worth, according to Fort Worth police.
The motorcyclist, JaDerek Gray, 19, of Bedford, died at a hospital after the shooting on I-35W on Friday afternoon. According to Fort Worth police, the man who shot Gray did so in self-defense after Gray pointed a handgun at him and his children, who were inside the man’s SUV.
Gray was driving his motorcycle north on I-35 near Heritage Trace Parkway and weaving in and out of traffic, police said. in a news release Tuesday. The man in the SUV started to change lanes without seeing the motorcyclist, and Gray swerved to avoid being hit by the SUV. Gray passed several cars and then stopped in the roadway, halting traffic.
Gray walked back toward the SUV and pointed a handgun at the driver, police said. The driver told him to put down the gun and that he had children in the car. Gray continued to walk toward the driver, police said, and point his gun at the SUV. The driver, fearing for his safety and his children’s safety, got his gun and shot the motorcyclist several times, according to police.
Officers called to the scene found the handgun that the motorcyclist had at the time of the shooting. Detectives also interviewed several witnesses from the scene, police said.

...I would find it very, very funny if it turned out that the Biden Administration was the one to bust Google, Facebook and the others.
Better still, it wouldn't be out of any sense of civic responsibility - it would be to make sure that having done their jobs, they couldn't change their minds later to be used against a Democratic candidate.

[ToloNews] At least two security force members were killed and another was maimed in an attack by unidentified button men in Paghman district in Kabul province on Tuesday morning, Kabul police said in a statement.
The incident took place about 07:55 am local time in the Arghandi area in Paghman and the attackers beat feet from the scene, the statement said.
The police have started investigation about the attack, it said.
However, facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable... no group including the Taliban ...Arabic for students... has grabbed credit for the attack.
Place your bets, ladies and gents: nutter or Sudden Jihad Syndrome? I haven’t been able to find any information about the knifeman beyond the information here.
[FoxNews] Salt Lake City police shot and killed a knife-wielding stabbing suspect who charged at them in a park earlier this month, newly released bodycam video shows.
The officers can be seen arriving at the scene of a woman’s stabbing on June 10. Immediately after getting out of the vehicle, witnesses at the scene point to someone off-camera, later identified as 39-year-old Rezek Yaqub Yahya.
"That guy sitting over there beneath the tree, he stabbed her," a man tells the responding officers.
"That guy stabbed her?" the one wearing the bodycam asks.
"Yes," the witness replies.
Another witness points in the same direction and tells officers, "They’re saying it’s this guy over here."
Paramedics, who had already arrived at the scene and were treating the victim relay to the officers that she told them it was the same man under the tree.
"All right, let’s go find him," an officer says, before turning toward the field where the suspect is seen standing under a tree.
As officer’s approach, one of them calls out that he sees a knife in his hand.
"Yo, put the knife down!" the officer shouts, still a dozen or so yards away from the suspect.
The man ignores officers’ commands and sprints at one of them.
With the knife in his hand, he is seen sprinting at one of the officers, before the other pulls out his sidearm and pulls the trigger, sending the suspect crashing to the grass, where he briefly continued to clutch the knife before dropping it, losing consciousness and succumbing to his injuries.
"Put the knife down, let it go man, I wanna help you," the officer who shot him says. "We want to help you. Put the knife down!"
The man eventually lets it go as officers assess his wounds and call for a medical team, which was already present treating the stabbing victim.
U.S. counties in the South and the West are seeing an increase in COVID-19 cases over the past seven days
Counties in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Wyoming reported between 100 and 500 cases per 100,000 in the last week, compared to the national average of 23.9 cases per 100,000
All five states have fully vaccinated 35% or fewer residents, lower than the national average, and only three counties between the five have fully vaccinated more than 50%
Former FDA commissioner Dr Scott Gottlieb warns that he expects outbreaks of the Indian 'Delta' variant to rise in areas with low vaccination rates
Previous studies have shown that two doses of COVID-19 vaccines are much more effective against the variant than one shot
In the UK, the Delta variant has driven an explosion of coronavirus cases, causing numbers to spike by about 75% in one week
Cases are one thing, but what matters is significantly high levels of hospitalizations and deaths.
The virus is wreaking havoc in the UK too, where officials recorded more than 20,000 for the second day in a row
On Tuesday, 20,479 COVID-19 infections were reported , a 76 percent in the last week from the 11,625 that were recorded last Tuesday
This is a 1040 percent increase from 2,000 cases recorded in late April, when the Delta variant first took hold.
However, deaths remained low with 23 were recorded on Tuesday, which is down 14 percent from the 27 recorded last Tuesday.

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] A teacher from Tacoma, Washington gave students a flyer to 8th graders that addressed issues of abortion, birth control, consent laws and condoms
Students at Stewart Middle School received the flyer in science class
The flyer controversially told students they could get abortions and birth control no matter their age and without asking for their parental consent
Sheet was handed out to eighth grade students who are around 13/14 years old
School has explained the mixup as a result of the sheet being left in a binder from previous years when Planned Parenthood speak to students directly

This after the Biden junta stopped Trump's plan for Medicare part D to to charge a max of $35/month (vs about $300 for a vial).
BTW, when Humalog was introduced in in 1996, it cost $21/vial. With mass production efficiencies, one would think it would cost even less, inflation adjusted.

[REDSTATE] Much to the delight of House and Senate Republicans, Democrats including the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft ...knaves, footpads, and adjusters employed by the Biden Crime Family. They leave a trail of havoc everywhere they turn their attention, be it the nation's borders, the Keystone XL Pipeline, or epidemics, sometimes on purpose, most times through sheer arrogant ineptitude. They learnt this stuff in college, you know... have calculatedly revived the national debate ... an expenditure of personal wind at the national level that leads to face-making and other histrionics but can't be shown to have ever solved an issue ... over defunding the police, laughably now trying to portray GOP members of Congress as the ones who really want to yank funding from the brave men and women across the country who put their lives on the line every day to keep their communities safe.But no matter how hard they try, the tactic is blowing up in their faces big time, as my colleague Nick Arama reported Monday.
Helping in the effort to make Democrats squirm even more over their stupid decision to gaslight the American people over the issue was House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), who appeared on Fox News this morning and made things rather uncomfortable for House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments... (D-Calif.) and company as he threw her anti-police rhetoric and that of her colleagues right back in their faces.
"Everybody knows it was Democrats who started this crazy, radical, bully boy move to defund police," Scalise stated. "All the big city mayors that defunded their police, whether it’s New York, Los Angeles, reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... — they’re all Democrats."
Then Scalise turned up the heat on Pelosi and other Congressional Democrats, noting that "Speaker Pelosi just recently called police ’stormtroopers.'" Also, he pointed out, "you had one of her top lieutenants in Congress on the Democrat side [say] police are inherently racist and need to be abolished."
"Now they’re seeing the dumpster fire they created," he observed before dropping facts about crime in Democrat-run cities. "I mean crime’s up — almost 80 shootings in Chicago over the weekend where they defunded police. And so what is their answer to admit they were wrong? They never admit they were wrong. They’re just going to try to blame somebody else."
[ToloNews] Afghan cops retook the control of Pashtun Kot and Khan Chaharbagh districts in the northern province of Faryab on Monday, the Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
The clearance operation was launched by the security forces on Monday and later in the day they retook the control of the two district from the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... The Afghan army also reported advances in their operations to retake Khwaja Omari district in central Ghazni province and Shinwari district in Parwan.
On Monday, four districts in two provinces fell under Taliban control in the last 24 hours; however, Afghan forces also made advances in Kunduz and Takhar, officials and other sources said.
The centers of Khwaja Omari, Muqor and Waghaz districts in Ghazni and Khoshamand district in Paktika ...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo... fell to the Taliban in the last 24 hours, according to sources.
"From 18 districts in Ghazni, I think seven districts have fallen to the Taliban. In three districts, only the center is under government control and three are somehow good," said Khoddad Irfani, an MP from Ghazni.
"Some bases and districts have already fallen (to the Taliban). Two more districts fell to the bandidosbandidos bully boys in the last 24 hours," said Hamidullah Noori, member of the Ghazni provincial council.
After two weeks of festivities in different parts of Kunduz, particularly on the outskirts of Kunduz city, some stability has been restored since Sunday night.
"The situation in the city is good, it is improving. All shops have been reopened," Kunduz resident said.
The security forces said they will continue their efforts to strengthen their posts on the outskirts of Kunduz city.
"All the security forces who have come to the center of Kunduz from other districts have been deployed to different parts of the city," said Shah Mahmood Fazli, acting commander of the first regiment of 217 Pamir Corps.
He also said the Taliban receive medical treatment in Pak hospitals.
A 25-year-old male migrant was found dead inside a tractor-trailer abandoned on a highway in Veracruz, Mexico, on Monday
The man reportedly suffocated to death due to the high temperatures, according to the National Institute of Migration
Over 100 migrants were being ferried to the U.S. border when the driver pulled over the truck after hearing individuals banging the trailer walls for help
The driver or his companion opened the trailer's door and majority of the migrants fled without being captured
Seven adult males, who were suffering from heat-related illnesses, were spotted near the trucks and provided medical assistance
None of the adults who were interviewed identified themselves as family members of a two-year-old boy was found alone
The child is reportedly a native of Guatemala and was turned over to office for the State Attorney for the Protection of Girls, Boys and Adolescents
[NINANEWS] Joint security forces have arrested 11 wanted persons, six of whom are drug pushers, seized unlicensed weapons and narcotics.
The Basra Operations Command stated, according to a statement that / NINA / received a copy of it, that the Command and the units attached to it began inspecting elected areas through the 36th Mechanized Brigade, the Federal Police, the Basra Police Emergency Regiments, the intelligence agencies, and an arranged force from the Operations Command headquarters that included the areas of Karma Ali, Al Shafi, Al Hartha and Al Mashab, which is the northern sector of Basra Governorate.
He added, "the inspections also included the areas of al-Zubayr, Safwan, Abu al-Khasib and al-Faw through the Commandos Brigade, the Operations Command, the Basra Police Emergency Regiments, and the security and intelligence agencies. It is considered the southwestern sector of Basra Governorate."
He explained that the operations resulted in the confiscation of 9 Kalashnikov automatic rifles, an RBK rifle, and quantities of light and medium ammunition, in addition to the seizure of quantities of narcotics.
[IsraelTimes] A former Iranian minister who served as an adviser to outgoing 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... says bigwigs in Tehran should be fearing for their lives due to the "infiltration" of Israel’s Mossad spy agency, according to the London-based Persian-language Manoto news site.
That would, indeed, be sensible, especially given all the spy squirrels flooding the landscape.
According to the report, former minister of intelligence Ali Younesi has said: "Authorities of the Islamic Theocratic Republic should be concerned about their lives; the Mossad has infiltrated various parts of the country."
[NYPOST] Tourists visiting Times Square on Monday expressed fears for their safety — and the city’s future — following the second shooting there in as many months."Worrying about getting killed in a crossfire was not on my itinerary when I booked this trip with my girlfriends — especially while touring the biggest attraction," said Pat Flanagan of Cleveland, kept in touch with the world by Obamaphone, ...was ruled by a Democrat machine from 1942 through 1971. After the river caught fire during the administration of Carl Stokes they tried a Republican, then went back to being Democrats when the party hacked up Dennis Kucinich ... "It’s actually more sad than scary because I want to see New York pick up again."
Flanagan, 44, added: "Crime can be controlled if you control it. New York learned how to do it in the past, so why not now? It’s got the biggest police department in the country and it can’t stop people from firing guns in Times Square?"
"Right now, tourism is making a comeback after COVID," she said.
"Don’t kill it by letting crime run rampant."

[REDSTATE] The White House put out the announcement this morning that President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... or is that an act?...... and her husband, Joe, will be making a stop at the Miami Beach enclave of Surfside, the site of the tragic condominium collapse. This is not too surprising of a visit, as Presidents frequently make tours of disaster areas, meeting with local officials and emergency experts, and coordinating relief efforts.It just seems like it was the kind of detail someone should have told the White House Press Secretary.
It was less than 24 hours ago when Jen Psaki ...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama. A new American success story, under Biden she became spokeswoman for the whole administration, and she was even able to get her sister a job... was asked about a Biden trip to Miami and she said directly that there was no intention for him to go there. "President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences... has no plans at this time to travel to the site of a deadly condo building collapse in South Florida," she said in response. "We don’t want to draw resources that are needed in the ongoing search and rescue operations and efforts. We will remain in contact with officials on the ground."

[REDSTATE] I don’t know whether to call the recent confrontation between a Newsmax news hound and embattled reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... Mayor Lori Lightfoot ...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway. A racist to the bone, Lori sez that people with the same skin tone all think alike, not quite getting the implications for a city with a population less than thirty percent black... a gory trainwreck or a beautiful sight to behold. Truth? It was a bit of both — and both parts were equally awesome. Either way, you can’t make it up — even though Lightfoot tried her damnedest to do so.

"I will henceforth only appear on TV watched by non-white people!"
[OneIndia] The initial probe into the drone attack at the Indian Air Force station in Jammu on Sunday has indicated that the Lashkar-e-Tayiba had a hand in it. The probe also by the investigative and Intelligence agencies also found the use of highly sophisticated RDX and this is a clear indicator of the Pakistain state actors have a role to play in it.
Two bombs weighing over 2 kilograms each were dropped from a height of 150 meters and were activated by impact charge. It is however unclear where the drone could have originated from, but the initial findings on Monday found that it could have been from the Indian side itself. The agencies also do not rule out the possibility of the the drone emerging from the Pakistain side close to the border.
It has been learnt that the attack was aimed at targeting the Air Traffic Control. Two explosions were reported on Sunday. While one targeted the ATC, the other was aimed at hitting an IAF chopper.
Sources tell OneIndia that the explosive was meant to land on a chopper, but it missed the target.
The suspected drones used in Sunday's attack dropped an explosive on the roof of a building at the station. Another explosive meant to target an aircraft missed the target and went kaboom! in an open area, the source cited above said.
[CollegeFix] For college-aged students, the potential for adverse reactions to the COVID vaccination appear to outweigh the risks of the virus itself for that age group, said Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, a professor of psychiatry and director of the Medical Ethics Program at the University of California, Irvine.
Asked by The College Fix whether potential side effects of the COVID-19 vaccination outweigh risks of possibly contracting the virus for college-aged students, he said "the answer is likely yes."
"[A]t the very least, based on current evidence, it’s entirely plausible to assume the answer is yes: that risks of Covid vaccination outweigh potential benefits of the vaccine for college age students," Kheriaty said via email on Wednesday.
Perhaps other colleges, high schools, junior high schools and elementary schools will begin to rethink and refuse to potentially injury young people in this country.
An article was posted here on Rantburg - Covid by the Numbers - time to end this experimental vaccine and the experiment itself before more people are injuried and/or killed by mRNA.

^ All I understood by yesterday's 'benefit by numbers' thingy is, that for every 3 people saved by vaccine 2 may die, so it's better to let all 5 die.
[OneIndia] DGP Loknath Behra earlier this week said that faceless myrmidons have chosen Kerala as their recruitment base. They target highly educated youths in the state to accomplish their agendas across the world, he also said in an interview with a news channel. He further added that faceless myrmidons recruit educated youth from Kerala and use their for unlawful activities.
This has been the trend in Kerala for several years now. It has become a happy recruitment ground for various terror groups, most recently 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.... . The modus operandi is radicalise, recruit, but do not attack. The recruited faceless myrmidons are sent across the country, where they either carry out attacks or continue recruiting more youth.
While Kerala has been termed as the state with the highest literacy rate, the fact is that the recruits are highly educated as well. It has been described as a ticking time bomb, thanks to problem of radicalisation and the very fact that the maximum number of cases of people leaving for the Islamic State have been reported from this state.
Several experts and security officials tell OneIndia that when it comes to Kerala, the key concern remains radicalisation. The state is a ticking time bomb and can explode if ignored. For now, the faceless myrmidons have chosen not to carry out major strikes in the state. However there have been several instances of illegal immigrants colonists from Bangladesh who have joined the terror ranks taking refuge in the state.
NIA officials probing the Kerala ISIS case say that the prime concern is that all those who have left for the ISIS in Afghanistan are educated. The officer says that a person by the name Shihas had played a major role in building up the module. He had managed to rope in several persons including one Nashidhul, who was initially opposed to the ideology of the ISIS.
During investigations, the NIA learnt that the brainwashing was so strong that many who did not subscribe to the view of the outfit ended up getting convinced. They are repeatedly told that as Moslems they are living on unholy land and they could lead a better life and become good Moslems only if they subscribe to the view of the ISIS.
[BenarNews] Five years after holy warriors massacred 20 diners at an upscale café in Dhaka, Bangladesh law enforcers say they have succeeded in controlling terrorist activity nationwide, although online extremism remains a concern.
At least 85 suspected Death Eaters have been killed and nearly 2,500 arrested during as many as 1,060 law enforcement raids carried out since the attack, authorities have said.
Since the July 2016 attack on the Holey Artisan Bakery, the country’s drive to smash violent mostly peaceful extremism has led to hundreds of people being thrown behind bars and an increase in cyberspace monitoring, which has raised concerns about potential infringement on human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. and privacy.

[FoxNews] Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., is raising concerns about an alleged lack of transparency from the Biden administration on the transportation of child migrants into Tennessee and other states, saying questions remain unanswered about what he called the "distribution network" to get migrants into the U.S.
"The Biden administration will not tell us how many people they are shipping into Tennessee and I’m sure this is the case across the nation," Hagerty told Fox News in an interview. "But there is clearly a plan in place, there’s clearly a distribution network in place to distribute the people they are processing in droves across the border into the interior of the United States and as I said, this border crisis is turning every town into a border town today."
The Biden administration has been dealing with a surge in migration at the border, including a spike in unaccompanied migrant children that hit historic highs a few months ago but has lowered since then.
Border Patrol is still seeing hundreds of child migrants come to the border a day, many of them dropped and left to fend for themselves, and the Biden administration is not returning them via Title 42 public health protections. Instead, they are being transported to Health and Human Services (HHS) custody, where there are currently about 15,000 migrants, and then they are united with an adult parent or sponsor in the country.
The administration has been paying for the children’s transport costs, or for the sponsors to come and pick up their children from a government facility. That means children have been transported across the country to sponsors – sparking the ire of a number of Republicans, particularly in Tennessee.
Both Hagerty and Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., have introduced legislation that would require the HHS and the Department of Homeland Security to consult in advance with officials in jurisdictions affected by federally funded migrant resettlement. They, along with the governors of Tennessee and Iowa, have written to the administration requesting details.
"Both Iowa and Tennessee have faced a series of disturbing incidents involving the transport of unaccompanied children into our states, under the cover of darkness, with no advance notification," a letter from the governors says.
The governors highlighted a number of reported flights into Chattanooga in May, where they say state agencies were initially told federal agencies had no knowledge of the flights – although the flights were confirmed by the White House a few days later.

[NYPOST] A hateful attacker hurled anti-gay slurs on a Manhattan subway before knifing a straphanger, slicing his chest, cops said Tuesday.The 29-year-old victim was on a northbound 2 train near West 34th Street and Seventh Avenue around 3:30 a.m. Monday when a man sitting across from him began shouting homophobic statements at passengers, according to police.
He then allegedly addressed the victim directly and said, "Yo big ass want to sit down with your legs crossed, f—-t."
An argument ensued and spilled onto the northbound platform, where the suspect stabbed the victim with an unknown object before taking off, cops said.
The victim got back on the train before he realized he had been stabbed on the left side of his chest and torso.
He went to Mount Sinai West for treatment of his non-life-threatening injuries, cops said.
The suspect, shown in a surveillance image, has a dark complexion, is about 5 feet 11 and around 185 pounds, with a medium build and partial facial hair, police said.
He was last seen wearing a red reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... Bulls basketball hat, a gold chain around his neck, a black shirt, green cargo shorts and multi-colored sneakers.

Mating preferences Mate preferences in humans refers to why one human chooses or chooses not to mate with another human and their reasoning why (see: Evolutionary Psychology, mating). Men and women have been observed having different criteria as what makes a good or ideal mate (gender differences). A potential mate's socioeconomic status has also been seen as having a noticeable effect,

Management styles differ. Notice it didn't say...."four former Microsoft employees." I take it none of the disaffected resigned or sold their MSFT holdings.
Somebody discovers (for possibly good reason) he was seeking a little nookie on the side, and we'll just forget that fact he created tens of thousands of jobs, possibly more. Now he's a worthless, no good, SOB. Ok, I go it.
Personally, I never cared much for him or Melinda. But my disregard stemmed from their politics and globalist activities, not their management style or personal affairs.
Daily Mail was it? Surprise, surprise. Find me a POM publication that has anything good to say about an American.
Care for a little 'class envy?' Why yes, two scoops please.

Reason to hate Mr. Gates, an early example of two sets of laws. Clearly demonstrated in the first case that found Microborg guilty of violating the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. It and he should have been hammered then and there.
Wonder if he said 'that's the stupidest f*****g idea I've ever heard' when the internet started to take off and a subordinate recommended falling in line? The second anti-trust case found that Microborg had violated the agreement of the first case by integrating an internet browser into Windows then claim it was unremovable. Then a court appointed master went on to actually do it without losing much in the form of operational capability. He and his corp should have been hammered hard, very hard on that one.
I wondered if he said 'that's the stupidest f*****g idea I've ever heard' when a subordinate recommended a smaller subset of their operating system for general users. There is a reason that Apple and Android own the tablet business and Microborg is a bit player.

In ‘72 Digital Equipment built mini-computers which ran DOS and were used in Argon and Fermi national labs. By the mid 80s, DEC systems competed with IBM. One branch of software ran 122 different National Telephone companies. In fact the last DEC super computers were replaced by a major government around 2018. DEC would not allow just anyone to run programs on their computers. MICROSOFT did not have those restrictions.

[ToloNews] As intense fighting continues in the country, Afghan authorities on Tuesday said that over 6,000 Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... fighters, including Pak nationals, have been killed in fighting with the Afghan National Security and Defense Forces (ANDSF) over the past one month.
Ajmal Omar Shinwari, a front man for Afghan forces, on Tuesday said that another 3,400 Taliban fighters were maimed during this period. He said that the Afghan Chief of Army Staff is currently working on a plan that the government forces will use to recapture the territory lost to the Taliban.
Meanwhile, ...back at the shootout, Butch clutched at his other leg...... the commander of the Special Operations Corps said the unit's activity has increased by 30 percent following the official start of the withdrawal of foreign forces from the country two months ago.
According to the Afghan government, over the past one month, 6,033 Taliban fighters were killed--among them 33 Pak nationals--and 3,485 Taliban fighters were maimed--among them 9 Pak nationals.
The Afghan government said the role of the Afghan Air Force (AAF) has been crucial in inflicting a major human toll on the Taliban during this period.
The Taliban, however, has rejected the claims by the Afghan government.
"Our entire force is staying in an emergency position, particularly the commandos and special operation forces," said Ajmal Omar Shinwari, a front man for the ANDSF.
"In the planning and technical fields we confronted some challenges," added Shinwari.
Afghan security officials said that during the past one month, the ANDSF air force carried out 491 attacks on Taliban positions.
"The Afghan Air Force conducted 491 Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s in the past one month, in which they targeted Taliban gatherings in Faryab, Baghlan, Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... , Maidan Wardak, Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. and Laghman ...Afghan province with a population of about 445,600, which is multi-ethnic and mostly a rural society. During the invasions of Alexander the Great, the area was known as Lampaka, wich is apparently Olde Macedonian for Laghman.The city of Mihtarlam serves as the bucolic capital of the province. The population is half Pashtun, the remainder Tadjik and Pashai. It had a repution for great wealth until it was conquered in the tenth century by Abu Mansur Sabuktigin.
He conquered it and set fire to the places in its vicinity which were inhabited by infidels, and demolishing the idol-temples, he established Islam in them, He marched and captured other cities and killed the polluted wretches, destroying the idolatrous and gratifying the Musulmans. After wounding and killing beyond all measure, his hands and those of his friends became cold in counting the value of the plundered property.
After that it was mostly notable for the production of dirt, rocks, and holy men... provinces," said Rohullah Ahmadzai, a front man for the Afghan Ministry of Defense.
The Afghan Air Force currently has 160 aircraft, 20 of which are Russian-made.
50 are Black Hawk helicopters, four are C130s, and 26 are Mi-17 helicopters.
"In the past, the need for airstrikes was around 20 to 30 percent, but in the past two months the percentage has increased to 70 to 80 percent," said Abdul Fatah Eshaqzai, a commander of the Afghan Air Force.
The Afghan government has said that the US has pledged the delivery of another 45 helicopters and 7 e-29 helicopters to the Afghan army.
[ToloNews] As festivities continue between security forces and the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... in many parts of the country, the Defense Ministry said it had recently recaptured areas of Kaldar district in Balkh province and Pashtun Kut and Khan Chahar Bagh districts in Faryab province. Operations are underway to retake other districts that are under Taliban control, the MoD said.
It was also reported that the Taliban has captured the center of Kandahar’s Khakriz district and Pashtun-infested Logar's Baraki Barak district in the last 24 hours.
Fighting is raging between government forces and the Taliban in many provinces of the country, and the escalation of fighting around the historic provincial capitals of Ghazni, Kunduz, Baghlan, Takhar, Faryab, and Maidan Wardak provinces is causing alarm among residents and members of Parliament.
Clashes between government forces and the Taliban have been ongoing for several weeks in many parts of the center of Kunduz province and the fighting has displaced hundreds of families.
"The Taliban are on one side of the war and the government is the other side. We do not know where to take shelter," said Zarmeena, a Kunduz resident displaced by the fighting. "We do not have electricity, food or water," she said.
Gol Mohammad, another displaced person in Kunduz, said: "Everything has become tougher for us, we do not have food or water."
Kunduz MPs are calling for serious action to repel Taliban attacks in Kunduz and to address the problems of the displaced people.
"Clashes are going on inside Kunduz city. If serious and timely actions are not taken, I assure you that the Kunduz city, for the third time, will get closer to the brink of collapse," said Nilofar Jalali Kofi, an MP from Kunduz.
Meanwhile, ...back at the pie fight, Bella grabbed the cocoanut cream... the prolonged fighting in provincial centers Maimana in Faryab, Taluqan in Takhar, Maidan Shahr in Maidan Wardak, and Ghazni city in Ghazni have caused MPs to raise the alarm in Kabul.
Amir Mohammad Khaksar, an MP from Takhar, stated: "Violence has soared in the country, if it continues, I don’t think we will reach a sustainable peace in the country."
Government forces on the front lines in the Shinwari district of Parwan province say they are attempting to retake lost districts and to expel the Taliban from the province.
"In the next one or two days we will arrive in Seya Gerd district in Ghurband Valley," said Sharifullah, an army officer in the Shinwari district in Parwan.
Fawad Aman, the Deputy Spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense, said: "Advances have been made in Balkh, Takhar, Baghlan, and Kunduz provinces and this will continue in other parts of the country as well."
Today President Ghani in a video conference with governors and provincial police chiefs called the Taliban attacks a crime against human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... and stressed that military and civilian officials must abide by human rights laws.
[EpochTimes] The Republican governors of South Dakota and Iowa said in recent announcements they will be sending law enforcement personnel to the U.S.—Mexico border. It comes after the governors of Texas and Arizona asked all other states to help with the ongoing border crisis by providing additional manpower.
South Dakota and Iowa now join Florida, Nebraska, and Idaho in committing to send law enforcement to the southern border to help Texas and Arizona.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem said late Monday that 50 South Dakota National Guard troops will be sent to the southern border.
"Tomorrow morning I’m officially announcing up to 50 National Guard troops to Texas to help secure our border," Noem announced on Twitter. "The Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft

[IsraelTimes] Two terror group heads said to have discussed recent fighting between Israel and Gazoo-based terror groups.
Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh ...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank... and Hezbollah leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

[IsraelTimes] A Dutch court convicts a 32-year-old woman and sentences her to six years’ imprisonment for involvement in war crimes committed by 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.... terror group in Syria and Iraq.
In the groundbreaking conviction, The Hague District Court rules that Islamic State is a criminal organization with the aim of committing war crimes and convicts the woman of involvement in the war crimes for spreading IS propaganda from her home near Amsterdam.
The woman’s sentence is double the three years originally demanded by prosecutors, with judges saying the sentence request was "far too low" even though the defendant suffers from what the court calls a "psychological impulse disorder."
In the groundbreaking conviction, The Hague District Court rules that Islamic State is a criminal organization with the aim of committing war crimes and convicts the woman of involvement in the war crimes for spreading IS propaganda from her home near Amsterdam.
The woman, whose name has not been released in line with Dutch privacy rules, distributed large amounts of IS propaganda via the Telegram messaging app in 2019.
She shared two videos of prisoners of war being killed and provided her own "humiliating" commentary for one of the executions. By doing so, "she abused the personal dignity of the dear departed people and that is a war crime," the court says.
It adds that she incited others to commit terrorist crimes and war crimes, trained herself and others to make bomb vests and sent money to people involved in terrorist activities.
Spreading propaganda makes her "part of this terrorist organization that is guilty around the world of attacks and spreading fear," the court says in a statement.
As well as the six-year sentence, she has been ordered to undergo compulsory psychological treatment.

[IsraelTimes] A Nigerian separatist leader, Nnamdi Kanu, whose whereabouts were previously unknown, has been arrested to face trial, the country’s justice minister said Tuesday.
"Nnamdi Kanu has been intercepted... He has been brought back to Nigeria, in order to continue facing trial after disappearing," Abubakar Malami, who is also attorney general, said in a statement.
Kanu was arrested in late 2015 after calling for a separate state for Biafra, in southeast Nigeria.
His detention sparked mass protests and festivities with security services.
The former London estate agent disappeared in 2017 after being released on bail, only to reemerge in Israel and then in Britannia.
Kanu maintains the Igbo people, who are in the majority in southeast Nigeria, are a lost tribe of Israel and it is his mission to lead them to the promised land of Biafra.
The head of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) movement was detained again on Sunday, Malami added, without giving details on the location of his arrest.
He is facing trial for charges that include "terrorism, treasonable felony, managing an unlawful society, publication of defamatory matter, illegal possession of firearms and improper importation of goods, among others," the statement said.
Southeast Nigeria has seen a recent surge in attacks, with around 130 police and security officials killed and around 20 cop shoppes attacked this year, according to local media tallies.
Election offices have also been attacked.
IPOB, which agitates for a separate Igbo state, has denied being behind the violence, accusing the government of a smear campaign.
Calls for a separate state of Biafra are a sensitive subject in Nigeria, after a unilateral declaration of independence in 1967 sparked a brutal 30-month civil war. More than one million people died, most of them Igbos, from the effects of conflict and disease.
[DW] Experts think several factors are behind the incidents at Pakistain's religious schools. "The children will not speak against holy mans out of fear, and holy mans will definitely not admit anything," one commentator told DW. No shit. I mean Allahu Akhbar!
A recent sexual abuse case involving a madrasa student and a high-profile religious leader in Pakistain's eastern city of Lahore rocked the country.
The case involved Mufti Aziz ur Rehman and his student Sabir Shah, who told DW that the holy man sexually abused him for more than a year.
Rehman belonged to Jamaat Ulema Islam, the organization of religious scholars that believes in an extremely conservative interpretation of Islam.
It was not an isolated incident. Shortly after, a video of child sexual abuse involving a Shiite holy man emerged. In May 2017, a nine-year-old boy was raped by a holy man in Pak Pattan; in 2018 a Lahore-based holy man was booked for raping a minor; and in 2019, a 13-year old disabled girl was sexually assaulted by a holy man in Multan ...Home of the Multan Sultans... The cases have given rise to calls for accountability in Pakistain. Many are blaming religious seminaries. But holy mans vehemently reject that their educational institutions are at fault. "If Allah didn't want us to have access and use of young nubile boys and girls, they'd be born as adults, amirite? Ulululu!"
More than 2.2 million children study in over 36,000 registered and unregistered madrasas in the South Asian country. An overwhelming majority of the students are from impoverished parts of Pakistain's northwestern, western and eastern provinces.

Give dominance over the vulnerable to people who are essentially uneducated, unmotivated, unprincipled slackers and con men - or religious leaders - and this is what you get.
Blame the parents who trust the myth of 'holy man good'. These are yet poor and shit-for-brains Pakis sending their young to learn to read. Thousands have been abused and raped by the Roman Catholic clergy in first world 'evolved' societies, and I'll bet also by Mormons and other communities where absolute psychological dominance is insisted upon by pathological 'leaders' over flocks of 'sheep'. Those interpreters of God that show up everywhere unchallenged and tax-exempt.
In India, female victims are preferred because the homo taboo is very strong in all religions, so there must be crores of women out there who have been abused by some religious head at least once in youth. It's all about non-accountability and dominance.
Predators will always remain with us. It's our dependence on religion and community and reluctance to be individually self reliant that brings our weakest to their jaws.
The series 'Aashram' was a very scathing indictment of this religion thuggery in India, you should watch how the girls pander to their groping lecherous messiah and feel all 'oh my shit!' surprised when he rapes them.

Some are just limp dick have-nots who can't bare the thought of girls taking all those 'opportunities'. But those who resist western pattern feminism as a political platform in India have a point.
America is a running exhibit of what feminism wreaks on an otherwise clever society. The sexes have their roles, clearly defined by the differences nature gave them. It is a conceit of the liberal progressive woman to push for special avenues for women in everything, just out of a sense of being left out of power roles. For example, unlike the smaller population of Israel, we don't really need wimmin fighters in our military. But there's a push for it, because the State is seen as an agency of wish fulfillment for the masses. And baby ji wants that uniform.
That is what democratizing everything does, it lets all and sundry dictate their wishes until what you have is men barging into women's sports as 80 kilo L0litas and hammering the daylights out of you. Bit by that time feminists are in denial and happily cheer for their sisters getting their faces smashed. What's more, most of the feminism is actually controlled and directed unseen by... men.
I can appreciate an individual fighting for her right to be treated as an individual. The moment they try and step on some collective identity platform, somebody owns them.
Ok let's not focus on the modern 3rd wave inersectional feminism which focuses on identity politics, equality of outcome rather than opportunity, and more concerned with ideology than with physical reality, laced with misandry, sexism, and racism. Heck it even prizes victimhood, which is super weird. Such stupid school of thought will never reach India.
India needs feminism cuz most women are still not seen as human beings with emotions. No matter how modestly we dress we are still raped, catcalled, flashed at, groped, leered at. Trust me, it never works. Here, a woman can “tempt” a man, by just existing, and breathing.
Even in metropolitan cities people are so misogynistic, it's the same shit. Personally, I'm so worried about my safety that I’d voluntarily confine myself to the home, or limit my own mobility.
#6
the modern 3rd wave inersectional feminism which focuses on identity politics, equality of outcome...
That's just it. As soon as you seek an 'ism' to help you fight for your individual right, you're part of the larger machine, whether you want it or not. You cannot say to the one standing next to you 'I'm not into that!' And the reins of the global progressive movement which ate up feminism long ago are all in men's hands; the women icons all advised by their lawyers and managers and patronized by Soros and his kind. They control the funding, they condescendingly shower the unwarranted praise and they prop up wimmin like Thunberg, Barkha Dutt and Arundhati Roy.
No one props up an Avani Chaturvedi or a Seema Rao or a Mary Kom. They get there on their own steel. Those who need a movement to protect them inevitably end up needing protection from the movement. That's all I'm saying.
Maybe I cannot ever understand it from a lady's point of view, for that I am sorry. I am sorry also that we can't ever hope to kill the predators fast enough for everyone to feel safe, until the constitutions themselves are radically reformed.
#7
Chinese women hold the highest social status in Asia and they think that they should credit American feminist movements with having improved the treatment of women early in the last century. Why can't we do the same?
Avani Chaturvedi, Seema Rao, Mary Kom, Kalpana Chawla, Arunima Sinha and more-they are our successes. Many Indian women do not have that level of support system, resources, freedom. Neither do I want to assimilate western pattern feminism in our politics, but women in India will always receive backlash for standing up to misogyny.

(I wish Mr. Wife still had responsibilities in India, just so I could order him to host a dinner party for Dron and Mrs. Dron, Ms Wren, and a few suitable young people that Dron and his adored wife suggested. But alas, his company moved him to Europe in 1991...)
#10
Also it's pretty pointless when good men are apologetic for the actions of beasts.
Personally, I don't see how affirmative action helps stop rapes (I do know what stops rapes, but that because I'm not a good man.). In fact, as Dron points out, feminism is part of the liberal package that also includes going easy on rapists.
#11
#9 Thank you Mrs. Wife for cheering me up with your kind words.
But it is extremely frustrating to feel trapped within stupid beliefs and customs. I feel envious of women living in Western countries and women iving in China.
#12
Yep straightaway killing rapists reduces rapes. But in India they are released into general public via finding loopholes within our legal systems. My country is pretty conservative yet do not punish them.
#15
^Lets try another approach Wren-shi. I'm sure there are a lot of poor people in India who are exploited and abused by the rich. Nevertheless, you do not advocate communist revolution because you seen how it worked out in Russia/China.
We in the West seen how feminism worked out. Not the fault of early feminists, except "I didn't mean" doesn't cut it.
p.s. Do not assume that professional women in the West are happy.

As options for the conditions of the future peace in St. Petersburg were discussed and the rejection of the treaty of 1875 (AKA The Treaty of St. Petersburg) on equal relations with Japan, and the annexation of the island of Tsushima.
