The Second International Pageant of Pulchritude and Eighth Annual Bathing Girl Revue
Held from May 21 to May 23, 1927, in Galveston, Texas. More contestants from outside the United States entered the pageant compared to the previous year, with women from Cuba, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, and Spain joining. Canada and Mexico also sent delegates, as they had in 1926. There were also 29 contestants from the United States. An estimated 250,000 people attended the events during that weekend, and over $5000 in prizes were given to the winners. The pageant was becoming known as an opportunity for potential movie and stage actresses to be discovered.
Miss United States, Dorothy Britton, who represented New York City, was crowned Miss Universe 1927 at the end of the event. She was considered the first American girl to win an international contest of any importance, as well as the first girl from New York City to win a national prize.

[BBC] Plans by Ukraine's defence ministry to have female soldiers march in high heels instead of army boots in a parade next month have caused angry reactions. These primitive Ukrainians don't understand modern military culture. You're supposed to make the men march in high heels.
Ukraine is preparing to stage a military parade on 24 August to mark 30 years of independence following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Will Hunter Biden be a Grand Marshall, or just a guest of Burisma?
The defence ministry say the shoes are part of regulation-dress uniform.
Many in Ukraine expressed shock at the plan, with a group of lawmakers calling on Defence Minister Andriy Taran to offer an apology.
"The story of a parade in heels is a real disgrace," commentator Vitaly Portnikov said on Facebook, arguing that some officials had a "medieval" mindset.
Ms Gerashchenko said she initially thought the pictures of women soldiers rehearsing in combat trousers and black pumps with block heels was a hoax. She said it was sexism, not equality, and wondered why the ministry thought heels were more important than designing body armour tailored to women.
Maria Berlinska, an army veteran, said a parade should demonstrate military prowess, but this one was to titillate senior officers in the grandstands. What can I say? It is good to be the king. See the pic at the article. Shiksa city.

[Gizmodo] The study, based on misrepresented safety data, argued that vaccines would kill two people for every three lives they saved.
A study looking at the impacts of covid-19 vaccination—condemned by other scientists as seriously flawed and irresponsible—has now sparked a mutiny of sorts. This past week, several well-respected researchers have resigned from their involvement in the journal that published the paper, which argued that vaccines are killing almost as many people as they’re saving from the pandemic. Today, the paper was retracted.
The study, titled “The Safety of COVID-19 Vaccinations—We Should Rethink the Policy,” was published on June 24 in the journal Vaccines and was authored by Harald Walach, Rainer J. Klement, and Wouter Aukema. Citing several sources of data, the authors argued that covid-19 vaccination was more dangerous than commonly believed, and that the benefits of inoculation only barely outweighed the risks caused by covid-19. Most egregiously, they claimed that for every “three deaths prevented by vaccination, we have to accept two inflicted by vaccination.”
The paper was uncritically shared by some on social media at first, including members of the anti-vaccination movement. But it was quickly criticized by many other scientists for its faulty assumptions, bad math, and outright misinformation.
One of the main pieces of evidence the authors presented to support their claim that the covid-19 shots are deadly, for instance, came from the Netherlands’ adverse event reporting system for their vaccines. But as Gizmodo has discussed before, these systems are designed to record any health incident, including death, that occurs after a person receives a new drug or vaccine. They don’t demonstrate that the incident occurred due to the drug—after all, a person may die for any number of unrelated reasons after receiving a vaccine—but instead are meant to flag possible signals of undiscovered side effects that could be linked to a new drug or vaccine, signals that then have to be studied further before any judgment can be made.
It wasn’t long before scientists associated with the journal Vaccines began to protest the study’s publication. Within days, prominent scientists such as Katie Ewer, a member of the Oxford University team who helped create their now widely used covid-19 vaccine, resigned from the journal’s editorial board. A day after her resignation, the journal placed an expression of concern on the paper, meant to alert readers of the many criticisms it had received, and announced it would investigate the matter. The announcement didn’t seem to stop the bleeding, though; at last count, according to the publication Science, at least six scientists in total have resigned from positions as associate or section editors with the journal.
Finally, just today, Vaccines’ remaining editors came back with their verdict, announcing that the paper would be retracted. In their notice, they pointed to “several errors that fundamentally affect the interpretation of the findings,” including the misrepresentation of the Netherlands’ vaccine safety data. The editors also noted that the authors were asked to respond to the criticisms made of their paper, but “were not able to do so satisfactorily.” The paper was then retracted under their protest.
“The paper was deeply, fundamentally flawed, comparing two numbers that were poorly conceived and incorrect in numerous ways. It should not have been published, but at least it is now retracted,” Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz, an epidemiologist from the University of Wollongong in Australia who earlier wrote a detailed criticism of the paper, told Gizmodo.
Even with this decision, some scientists have questioned how the paper got through the peer-review process in the first place. Two of the three reviewers were anonymous, and none brought up any of the issues that resulted in the retraction. The current fiasco isn’t the only one to have involved MDPI, the publisher of Vaccines and many other open-access journals. In its past, some scientists have accused MDPI of being a predatory publisher, more eager about the quantity than the quality of the research it publishes—criticisms that were still being made this year before the latest retracted paper.

In addition... per review does *not* mean the results or conclusions were replicated. Only that some guys read the paper, looked over the math and did not see any glaring errors.
Additionally in addition... humans are remarkably adept at fooling themselves. If you want something to be true, you can come up with endless logical reasons why. Evidence to the contrary? Inconvenient facts, misinformation and conspiracy. So just shut up. You don't want to lose your job, do you?

While certain traditional journals, like The Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine, have become notorious in recent years for the laxity of their reviewers, at least for certain fashionable topics, open access journals can be orders of magnitude worse.
h/t Instapundit[Ammo.Com] - Ever wonder why urban terrorists can burn down cities with no consequences but the McCloskeys are prosecuted for defending their home against the same? The answer is George Soros, his money, and his influence.
...American political culture focuses almost entirely on Presidential elections, with Congressional and gubernatorial races getting much less attention from the general public. When it comes to local politics, unless you live in a large city, chances are good that you don’t know much about city politics. For example: Who is your local district attorney or county prosecutor?
Most people have no idea. It’s a low-key office, generally staffed by someone looking to do public service, not advance their career. There is little glamor, low pay, and lots of thankless work to be done at this level, which means that for the most part, this is not where social climbers begin their careers.
That being said, these elected officials have enormous amounts of power because they decide who gets prosecuted, who doesn’t, and what charges are levied against them. If your DA decides that the local band of looters are actually peaceful protesters, they won’t ever see the inside of a courtroom. Similarly, if the local DA isn’t a fan of the right to self-defense, one must consider this when choosing whether or not to pull your firearm if a mob of them shows up on your lawn.
George Soros understands this and has been quietly funding a campaign to place district attorneys amenable to his agenda across the United States.
[WBUR] A group of heavily-armed men are engaged in an ongoing standoff Saturday with Massachusetts police, prompting shelter-in-place orders in some areas and sparking massive delays on the holiday weekend as a portion of Interstate 95 remains shut down.
The standoff began around 2 a.m. when police noticed two cars pulled over on I-95 with hazard lights on, authorities said at a Saturday press briefing.
Between eight to 10 men were clad in military-style gear with long guns and pistols, Mass State Police Col. Christopher Mason said.
The men refused to put down their weapons or comply with authorities' orders, claiming to be from a group "that does not recognize our laws," police said. They took off into a wooded area, where two men have been arrested.
Update at 1 p.m. ET from links in comments: They identified themselves as Rise of the Moors, a Moorish Sovereign Citizens group.

This is the Mass State Police twitter feed covering the situation. I don't think there'll be much press coverage until they figure out whether the headline is "White Supremacists Run Amok" or "Heroic African-Americans Protest Centuries of Oppression".

The Moorish Sovereign Citizens movement, also known as the Indigenous Moors, have the queer idea that they’re the native people of North America and therefore entitled to ignore U.S. laws and retake title to any property that catches their eye, which they’ve done with distressing regularity since the 1990s. Both the Indigenous Moors and the Nation of Islam split off from the Moorish Science Temple movement that started a century ago. Black Lives Matter intersects with them and Antifa; the Not Fucking Around Coalition has their own peculiar take on the same entitled Black Separatist notions, with a slightly different mysticism.
They show up here with some regularity — Page 1: WoT os definitely the right choice, article moved to Firth Column.

Oh, and they are also a heretical branch of Islam with their own secret addition to the Koran. Spoter B’s Rise of The Moors link has more than anyone wants to know about their ahistorical fancies.

trying to get the cops to step on their d*cks. And maybe they did, if these people were not breaking the law.
They didn’t have legal gun licenses, according to the various links. Very probably not legal driving licenses. as well, and even more probably have not been paying taxes, because their website says they’re entitled not to.
But travelling on the highway at two in the morning suggests to me they were hoping to reach their destination without being noticed along the way.

Mass gun laws seem voluminous, but this appears to be the gist: Massachusetts residents 15 years and older who wish to possess, carry, and transport firearms, ammunition, and feeding devices are required to have a firearms license. Firearms licenses are issued by municipal police departments.
Earlier, the CTO regime was introduced in part of the territory of Nalchik and the Baksan region of Kabardino-Balkaria.
Kabardino-Balkaria is one of those North Caucuses republics in southwestern Russia bordering Georgia. The North Caucuses is Caucuses Emirate territory, though the younger generation find ISIS appealing, and many of them have wandered down to Syria to cause trouble.
As stated in the NAC, as a result of the shootout, five bandits were destroyed. No one was injured among the local residents. There are no casualties of law enforcement personnel. At the site of the clash, operational-search measures and investigative actions are being carried out.

[Washington Examiner] Dr. Anthony Fauci says he has not reviewed any U.S. intelligence on lab workers who allegedly got sick at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in autumn 2019, while he also continues to deny that the National Institutes of Health approved funding for gain-of-function research at the lab.
Rep. Mike Gallagher, a Wisconsin Republican, asked Fauci in May if he agreed with World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus that the Wuhan lab leak hypothesis required further investigation and whether he believed that further investigations should include looking at sick researchers at the Wuhan lab.
In a late June letter obtained by the Washington Examiner, Fauci replied that he supported President Joe Biden's call for a U.S. intelligence investigation into COVID-19's origins.
He also said that "we have also been working with a cross-regional coalition of 13 countries to urge the World Health Organization to begin the second phase of their study on the origins of COVID-19 without delay."
Gallagher asked Fauci if he had scrutinized everything that the United States knows about the sick Wuhan lab researchers, including the information in a State Department fact sheet from January and all underlying intelligence. Fauci said he had not.
"I am aware of unconfirmed reports of illness in WIV personnel," Fauci said. "I do not have in my possession, nor do I have access to, any of the non-public information, including the intelligence data, that address this point."

[Townhall] She's a horrible person, a horrible candidate, and an attractor of horrible people until even they turn away
She’s a walking disaster zone right now. There is only one word to describe how Vice President Kamala Harris has handled every task handed Biden has given her: poorly. It took her over 90 days to visit the border, which is in chaos, but only after it was announced that Donald Trump and Greg Abbott would be assessing the damage. Her office is reportedly a toxic wasteland, with top staffers either ignoring or demeaning staff, taking credit for when things go swimmingly, and ready to throw anyone under the bus when the situation bursts into flames. This shouldn’t shock anyone who’s been paying attention. There’s a reason why her 2020 campaign sank quicker than the Lusitania. She has no plan, no strategy, and no discipline. She was propped up by the media. It really says something about you as a candidate when people like Tom Steyer, Deval Patrick, and Julian Castro had more successful presidential campaigns; they stayed in the race longer. Harris’ performances as VP has been so bad that even top Democratic advisers are warning that the heir apparent won’t be able to beat ANY Republican, including Trump (via NY Post):
Democrats are increasingly fearful Vice President Kamala Harris’ missteps will open the door for Republicans to regain the White House, a new report said Friday.
Dems, including senior White House officials, fear that Harris will lose to any Republican she faces — including former President Donald Trump — if President Biden does not seek reelection in 2024, Axios reported.
At 56, Harris is more than two decades Biden’s junior — and has been considered the heir apparent to the 46th president since he selected her to be his running mate last year.
While Harris will still be the presumptive nominee if Biden becomes the first president since Lyndon Johnson to not seek a second full term, Axios reports that a series of blunders have left officials and operatives concerned.
Right now, one operative told Axios, the feeling among Democrats isn’t "’Oh, no, our heir apparent is f—ing up, what are we gonna do?’ It’s more that people think, ’Oh, she’s f—ing up, maybe she shouldn’t be the heir apparent.'"
She can’t beat Trump. Should Harris somehow clinch the 2024 Democratic nomination—c’mon we all know Joe isn’t lasting that long—and she loses to Trump in a national contest, blue states would probably secede. But it has been one public relations nightmare after another. Here ’I haven’t been to Europe’ bit when pressed over her refusal to visit the border was not just a poor attempt at humor but showed the lack of urgency Democrats have towards this national security issue. She reeks of the liberal mindset that they know best, almost as if to mock the suggestion that she should go to the border at all since in her mind—this isn’t a real crisis. It’s climate change, white supremacy, and other white liberal issues that aren’t real problems facing normal Americans.
She’s very much in the vein of Hillary Clinton when it comes to candidate strength. She’s awful. In fact, she might be worse. Hillary was at least able to get large swaths of the Democratic delegates and even clinch the 2016 nomination. Harris folded after Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) called her out over her record as a prosecutor. Her national profile bolstered by a fawning liberal media, but as you can see—that can only take you so far.

[American Thinker] Ivory Hecker, an astute and brave local Fox reporter, interviewed Dr. Joseph Varon, despite Fox threatening her job if the unedited interview went live. It's worth listening to in its entirety, but here's some of what it says.
It's certainly not the first time Dr. Varon's been interviewed. He's talked with the media 1,640 times, including Hecker's interview. The first 1,639 interviews were edited to exclude specific information about his successes in treating hospitalized COVID patients.
This doctor is certainly no quack. He's chief of staff at United Memorial Medical Center in Houston, Texas. He invented the MATH+ protocol for treatment, and his death rate has consistently been far less than half that of other hospitals, even a third compared to many. Back in the beginning, when he was able to include hydroxychloroquine in his formula, his death rate was close to 4%, as opposed to around 20% in other hospitals.
Hecker interviewed several of his patients for the piece. One, a urologist from a hospital on the other side of Texas, was airlifted (at his own request) to Dr. Varon. He described how thankful he was to have gone from desperate and dying, with nearly no lung capacity, to healthy. He was clearly robust, despite his COVID experience. He says his improvement began "within hours" of starting the protocol.
Dr. Varon clearly states that "there's no reason for patients to die. We have options, we just have to make those options available."
Hecker also speaks with Dr. Pierre Kory, who co-authored a peer-reviewed study on ivermectin with Dr. Varon. He states without equivocation that, if patients receive ivermectin early in the course of the virus, ivermectin alone is effective as a treatment. He testified in the Senate about it, too.
Most outlets blocked the video, except Fox. Oddly, after a lot of views, Fox set the video to private, so nobody else could see it. Another example of censorship occurred when Dr. Kory talked with Bret Weinstein, something Joe Rogan highlighted.
[Free Beacon] The far-left members of the Democratic "Squad" have fallen largely silent on the Boston rabbi who was stabbed eight times outside of a Jewish school.
Aside from Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.),
...who said the things she ought, even if she doesn’t believe a word of it...
who represents the district where 24-year-old Khaled Awad
...Egyptian known wolf who has been in the U.S. for four years, possibly legally...
nearly murdered Rabbi Shlomo Noginski, none of the Squad members have condemned the anti-Semitic attack. The Washington Free Beacon contacted each of the House Democrats associated with the Squad—Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.), Jamaal Bowman (D., N.Y.), Cori Bush (D., Mo.), and Pressley—none of whom responded to requests for comment about the attack.
The attack comes as liberals like Bowman call for members to be more outspoken about "hateful" rhetoric. The New York representative shared footage of a group of Israelis participating in an anti-Arab chant and challenged his colleagues to "disavow" racism wherever it exists. "I represent many within the Jewish community who disavow and condemn this hateful language," Bowman wrote on Twitter. "So why does only a small portion of our Congress?"
The Squad members are largely silent as Democrats face yet another reckoning on anti-Semitism in their ranks. Omar was criticized by a dozen of her Jewish colleagues after she compared America and Israel to terrorist groups. Omar on CNN this week lambasted her Jewish colleagues for criticizing her, saying they were not "partners in justice."
The group of far-left Democrats rarely issues statements when Jews are victims of crime in America, even though FBI statistics routinely rank Jews as a top victim of hate crimes in America. They are far more likely to take to social media when victims appear to be from different targeted groups. Hours after reports emerged that actor Jussie Smollett was allegedly attacked on the streets of Chicago, for example, Ocasio-Cortez labeled it a "racist and homophobic attack."

[ToloNews] Afghanistan’s Ministry of Interior Affairs (MoI) will probe recent evacuations by government forces from the centers of various districts across the country.
Over the last two months, the Taliban ...Arabic for students... has taken over dozens of districts across Afghanistan, raising strong criticisms among the public and analysts who are citing poor leadership and mismanagement of the war as key reason that the Taliban has taken over large swaths of land in the country.
Reports say that in some districts as instances in Shireen Tagab and Pashtun Kot and Qaisar districts of Faryab, and Qarabagh and Muqur districts of Ghazni, hundreds of security force members surrendered to the Taliban without any resistance.
"There is speculation that the security forces were asked not to fight, but it is not confirmed who said this," said MP Khan Agha Rezaee.
In the past two months Taliban has taken control of more than 120 districts.
In the past two months Taliban has taken control of more than 120 districts.
"Investigation is underway to find out the main reason," said Gen. Abdul Sattar Mirzakwal, the acting minister of interior.
Referring to the factors behind the evacuations, the Ministry of Defense said that lack of equipment and delay in the delivery of emergency assistance to the security forces are among the factors that have led to the problem.
"We evacuated some areas in order to prevent casualties among civilians and military personnel, and to prevent the damage to residential areas and delay in on time delivery of supplies to our personnel," said Rohullah Ahmadzai, front man for the Ministry of Defense.
Rahmatullah Nabil, the former head of Afghan intelligence agency, said that the Taliban is seeking to takeover some strategic and important areas.
"The Taliban want to expand fighting in central provinces and to take control over the supply routes to Kabul and then go to the negotiating table where they will make major demands, and if their demands not met, they will focus on other objectives they seek," said Nabil.
Taliban significantly increased their offensive after foreign troops started withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Prior to the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... offensive, which began in earnest on May 1, the date that the U.S. government originally committed to completing its withdraw under the Doha agreement, the Taliban controlled 73 of Afghanistan’s 407 districts, and contested 210, according to an ongoing assessment by FDD’s Long War Journal. The Biden administration moved the withdraw date to Sept. 11, 2021, the 20-year anniversary of Al Qaeda’s attack on American soil — which it plotted and executed largely from Afghanistan.
The Taliban began to seize territory once the May 1 deadline expired, and as of June 29, 2021, now controls 157 districts. Much of the Taliban gains are in the north, and that has put multiple scenic provincial capitals under threat. Taliban fighters have entered the cities of Kunduz and Pul-e-Khumri and are on the outskirts of Mazar-e-Sharif and Taloqan. Other scenic provincial capitals, such as Maimana and Faizabad, are under direct Taliban threat.
The Taliban has largely gained ground in districts that were previously contested. The number of contested districts dropped from 210 on May 1 to 157 today. However, denial ain't just a river in Egypt... at least 10 districts flipped entirely from government controlled to Taliban controlled without ever being labeled as contested.
More profits means money for supporting pet jihadi groups. Congratulations, President Biden.
[Rudaw] The OPEC oil cartel and allied producing countries plan to restore 2.1 million barrels per day of crude production, balancing fears that COVID-19 outbreaks in some countries will sap demand against surging energy needs in recovering economies.
Energy ministers made the decision during an online meeting Tuesday.
Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said recent market developments proved the agreement to gradually increase production, made in April and reconfirmed Tuesday, was "the right decision." There are still "clouds on the horizon" regarding the recovery and demand for energy, he said.
The cartel decided to stay the course decided at earlier meetings to raise production by 2.1 million barrels per day from May to July. The group plans to add back 350,000 barrels per day in June and 440,000 barrels per day in July. Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... is also gradually adding back 1 million barrels in voluntary cuts it made above and beyond its group commitment.
The combined OPEC Plus grouping of members led by Saudi Arabia and non-members, chief among them Russia, is facing concerns renewed COVID-19 outbreaks in countries such as India, a major oil consumer, will hurt global demand and weigh on prices. Oil producing countries made drastic cuts to support prices during the worst of the pandemic slowdown in 2020 and must now judge how much additional oil the market needs as producers slowly add more production.
But prices have recovered, closing at multi-year highs on Tuesday, and the recoveries in the US, Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... and Asia are expected to drive energy demand higher in the second half of the year as people travel more and use more fuel. The U.S. driving season began over Memorial Day weekend and increasing numbers of Americans have been vaccinated, leaving people feeling freer to travel and take longer trips by car.
On Tuesday the price of benchmark U.S. crude rose 2% to $67.72 per barrel after jumping nearly 4%. Brent crude, the European standard, traded 2.7% higher at $71.17 but closed at $70.25 per barrel. The prices were the highest in two years for Brent crude and in nearly three years for U.S. crude.
On Wednesday, oil prices rose modestly, with benchmark U.S. crude up 16 cents to $67.88 per barrel. Brent crude picked up 18 cents to $70.43 per barrel.
An additional factor complicating market estimates is the possible return to the market of more Iranian oil, depending on the outcome of talks over Iran’s nuclear program. Paul Sheldon, chief geopolitical risk analyst at S&P Global Platts, said he expects a framework nuclear deal will be reached before Iran’s June 18 election, allowing Iranian supply to rise by 1.05 million barrels per day between May levels and December.
Bin Salman said that the prospect of more Iranian oil coming to market was not discussed at the brief meeting, which he said lasted less than half an hour.
Oil prices have risen more than 30% since the start of the year. That has meant higher costs for motorists in the U.S., where crude makes up about half the price of a gallon of gasoline. Holiday travelers paid the highest gas prices since 2014 at a national average of $3.03 per gallon, $1.12 more than last year. Prices in the western states were even higher; Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,ns paid $4.20 per gallon.

[GatewayPundit] Lucas Gerhard is a 21-year-old former law enforcement major. Instead of celebrating his graduation from Lake Superior State University in Sault St. Marie, MI, in the criminal justice field and looking for a job as a police officer, Lucas is locked down in his father’s home, wearing an ankle bracelet.
During his trial, the prosecutor attempted to paint Lucas as a threat to the school community, claiming that he had numerous “contacts” with Law Enforcement at LSSU.
Lucas’s father explained: “The so-called ‘contacts’ were made as a result of more anonymous calls to LSSU public safety, and an incident where Lucas’s car was vandalized and his rear window smashed out! Not a single one of those was what can be considered a negative or derogatory incident. An example of one incident where a call was made was when Lucas was in his OCSO cadet uniform and carrying a bag of police training gear across campus to his communications class where he was giving a speech in law enforcement methods. The call was made as soon as he exited his dorm. The police were apparently told by the caller that they felt threatened by seeing Lucas when they saw him carrying riot gear. Note that LSSU is a school where a large majority of students are Criminal Justice majors! But Sault St. Marie police officers actually responded and pulled Lucas out of the classroom WHILE HE WAS GIVING HIS SPEECH to question him. His professor came out and told the officers that Lucas’s speech was pre-approved as well as the props he brought. The report noted that his explanation was accepted and no further action taken. I might add that every other time something like this happened, the result was the same. No action taken, either from Law Enforcement nor the College. The level of harassment Lucas endured there was astonishing.”
[NYPOST] A 1-month-old baby and a 9-year-old girl were both shot in the head in separate incidents in violence-plagued 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... this week, officials said.A total of seven people — including the female infant — were struck by bullets when button men jumped out of an SUV and began firing on the city’s South Side on Thursday. White Supremacists?
The baby remains at death's door, police said, while the other victims had less serious injuries.
No arrests have been made in the case after the assailants expeditiously departed at a goodly pace.
A 9-year-old girl also remained at death's door after being shot in a drive-by just hours before while sitting in a car with a man who was also hit, cops said.

On June 24, Centers for Disease Control Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky extended the national eviction moratorium for tenants unable to pay rent through the end of July.
Problem in the first sentence. Since when do un-elected doctors get to make policy? Oh wait..the diminutive garden gnome FauXi said they could.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] The US Army soldier who fatally shot an armed protestor after driving into the thick of a Black Lives Matter protest in Texas last summer has been charged with murder.
In Texas? Was the district attorney getting overexcited again?
A Black Lives Matter protest in the streets of downtown Austin on July 25 turned violent when Garrett Foster, who was armed with an AK-47, was killed amid an armed standoff with a Sgt. Daniel Perry, who shot and killed him while being confronted by protesters.
Perry was indicted by a Travis County grand jury on the charges of murder, aggravated assault and deadly conduct on Thursday, according to the New York Post. Travis County, Austin, Grand Jury will only see what the DA presents, NOT what other facts may prove different. The issue here is the DA
Perry was stationed at Fort Hood at that time, and was working for a ride-sharing company. On that day, he had just dropped off a customer before turning down a street blocked by a crowd of protestors.
The Texas Tribune reports that Perry stopped his car, honked, then proceeded to drive his car into the crowd.
The crowd then surrounded Perry's vehicle, which is when Foster and Perry came face to face. Foster, a 28-year-old Air Force veteran, was carrying an Ak-47 rifle, which is legal under Texas open carry laws.
The Black Lives Matter street-level instigator, 28-year-old Foster, expressed his violent intent earlier that night in an interview while openly carrying his AK-47.
"If I used it against the cops, I'm dead," Foster stated. However, it wasn't the police who shot him but an armed civilian who Foster said he didn't think would fight back. "I think all the people that hate us and wanna say shit to us are too big of pu**ies to stop and actually do anything about it," he said, ironically.
The incident, which has conflicting reports of how it unfolded, resulted in Foster dying of multiple gunshot wounds from Perry shooting Foster with a handgun before fleeing, the Tribune reports. Cops said Perry was legally armed as well.

So a Black Socialist RADICAL brings loaded AKM CCP/USSR designed likely even made firearm to a "Peaceful" Protest and get capped.
The DA seeking Re-election sees possible long term issues and brings it to G-Jury to delay Riots, looting and more private property damages.
G-Jury likely to NO BILL.
Citizenry pre-prepared for Riots, looting and more private property damages. Results Dead Rioters, looter and little private property damages.
If it reaches the courts, likely no conviction. The Citizenry again pre-prepared for Riots, looting and more private property damages. Results Dead Rioters, looter and little private property damages

NN2N1 - we're talking Austin/Travis County here, not the Texas most people think about. Grand Jury very well may indict, and the population likely would not use force to defend against rioters if it did not. Austin used to be a hotter weather equivalent of Portland, but now Portland has caught up in temperature.

Given all the private and Government property destroyed over the last 18 months is nearing $1 Billion. It should be obvious to even the dumbest politician that the citizenry is PISSED TO HELL AND BACK and likely will slap them with it election day.
SO THE QUESTION IS:
When will the Governor declare Political CYA Martial Law?
Or will the Citizenry start addressing the issue?

Nothing of the sort...they're just the new Amazon delivery vehicles being readied. Saves all the costly shipping of cheap Chinese crap oversees for Prime members.
[Rudaw] A roadside explosion killed a woman and injured 6 others from a single family who were en route to a village near the border of Tuz Khurmatu on Friday, according to a local official.
Hassan Zain al-Abidin, the mayor of Tuz Khurmatu, told Rudaw that "the bomb was concealed within a jerry can. The bomb went kaboom! as the family was returning from Tuz Khurmatu to the village of Zanjali. The security forces are presently investigating at the scene of the incident."
"The woman who was killed was 40 years old and the mother of four children. Her brother, children and spouse were maimed and are now being treated at Komari Hospital in Tuz Khurmatu," Abidin said.
The blast was carried out 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.... (ISIS), according to the mayor of Tuz Khurmatu, given the increased activity of ISIS gunnies near the border. The villagers of Zanjali had been warned to evacuate due to the threat of attack by ISIS. He said they did not heed the warnings and, unfortunately, this incident happened as a result.
A lack of coordination between security forces in areas disputed between Erbil and Baghdad - largely in Salahaddin, Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... and Diyala provinces - has created a security vacuum that ISIS sleeper cells exploit to carry out ambushes, attacks and kidnappings.
Three farmers were kidnapped near Tuz Khurmatu earlier in March by ISIS
Abidin said that the kidnapped were Sunni Arabs and residents of Hlewa village, located ten kilometers west of Tuz Khurmatu.
ISIS gunnies were killed in a ground and air operation between Kurdish Peshmerga and French forces in areas between the Diyala districts of Kifri and Tuz Khurmatu in June. The offensive was "in Dire Revenge" for the deaths of four Peshmerga troops in ISIS attacks
[IsraelTimes] Red Islamic Thingy says 61 hurt, including six hit by rubber-tipped bullets; under agreement with government, settlers to leave site by 4 p.m. Friday.
Hundreds of Paleostinians gathered outside the illegal Evyatar outpost in the West Bank late Thursday, throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails and shooting fireworks at IDF troops at the scene, the army said.
The violent mostly peaceful protest came on the eve of a partial evacuation of the wildcat settlement set for Friday under an agreement reached between the government and the settlers.
IDF troops responded with tear gas and rubber bullets.
The Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy reported it treated 61 people, including six hit by rubber bullets. The rest suffered from tear gas inhalation.
The protest came on the final night that civilians will remain at the contested site.
Earlier this week Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Defense Minister Benny Gantz reached an agreement whereby the settlers will evacuate Evyatar by 4 p.m. Friday, but the state will work to legalize control of the land and establish a yeshiva at the site at a later date.
In the meantime, the Israel Defense Forces will establish an "immediate round-the-clock presence" at the outpost.
The Defense Ministry will carry out a survey of the land to establish which parts can be declared state land and which parts are considered to be private Paleostinian property.
"Lands that are found to belong to the state will be declared as such, while those that are private will be evacuated," a statement released late Wednesday by Cabinet Secretary Shalom Shlomo said, noting that buildings will not be demolished until the land’s status is clarified.
Bennett, a former director of the Yesha council settler lobby, was reported Sunday to be eager to avoid the spectacle of the outpost being removed under his leadership, especially given the current political situation in which the coalition is struggling to maintain a majority in the Knesset.
Earlier iterations of Evyatar have been razed several times since Israelis first tried to settle the site in 2013.
The outpost is located on land south of Nablus that Paleostinians say had historically been part of the Paleostinian villages of Beita, Kablan and Yitma, though residents of those towns have been barred access for decades over what the IDF has said were security reasons. The land went uncultivated, opening it up for confiscation by the state for public use, based on West Bank property laws. Before that can happen though, the Civil Administration is required to survey the land to confirm its status, a step that Evyatar settlers did not wait for before moving in.
The area near the outpost has seen repeated festivities in recent weeks as Paleostinians protested the creation of the outpost, in some cases hurling stones at troops and burning swaths of land. Israeli soldiers have responded with riot dispersal munitions and in some cases, live bullets, killing four Paleostinians.

[ToloNews] After nearly two decades, the US military has left the Bagram Airfield in central Afghanistan and has handed it over to Afghan National Defense and Security Forces, sources from the Ministry of Defense confirmed.
At its peak, the airfield, located 69 kilometers north of Kabul in the central province of Parwan, saw more than 100,000 US troops pass through its compound.
The handover of the airfield to Afghan forces shows that last of the roughly 2,500 to 3,500 US troops have left Afghanistan.
Ahead of leaving the base, dozens of trailer trucks loaded with scrap from destroyed vehicles and equipment that belonged to American troops were leaving the Bagram Airfield on a daily basis.
Those who purchase the material say that so far, the scrap has been worth millions of dollars.
Some residents of Bagram said that such equipment should have been handed over to Afghan forces instead of being scrapped by the US military. But US forces have said the equipment will be scrapped so it does not fall into enemy hands.
The Afghan government has said that equipment worth $1 billion will be handed over to the Afghan forces.
Bagram Airfield has been the biggest airbase of the US military in Afghanistan over the last 20 years. US forces started a withdrawal on May 1, a process that is expected to be completed earlier than the given deadline — Sept. 11.

Imagine if we had kept all that money and spent it on ourselves. We could have had free college, free healthcare, a border wall 100 feet tall, and ice cream for everyone.
[NYPOST] This week, White House press secretary 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... unsheathed one of the most transparently ridiculous political talking points in memory, arguing that Republicans were the ones defunding the police because they failed to support the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion boondoggle COVID "rescue" package earlier this year. For starters, voting against a supplementary federal spending package isn’t the same as proactively cutting law enforcement funding or redirecting existing money — which is what progressives who support "defund the police" movement advocate.
Indeed, not a single dollar of the American Rescue Plan was ever reserved for law enforcement spending. State and local officials could, if they chose, allocate some of the relief funding towards law enforcement, but they there was no mandate to do so.
If Congress had written a bill that solely focused on increasing law-enforcement manpower — let’s call it the "Fund the Police Act" — very few, if any, Democrats would have voted for it.
#2
Thereisn’t a poll in existence that shows even significant support for the Defund the Police movement among conservatives. A national poll by USA Today/Ipsos from earlier this year found that 34 percent of Democrats supported the effort — even though many believed it was a straight cut in funding. Sixty-seven percent of Democrats support redistributing portions of police budgets towards social programs, compared with only 16 percent of Republicans.
On the other hand, plenty of local and national progressives have openly called for defunding the cops. When Barack Obama observed “defund the police” tends to hurt Democrats, Rep. Ilhan Omar pushed back, asserting that it was “not a slogan but a policy demand.” Democrats like Cori Bush, Kamala Harris, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and, yes, Joe Biden — who, when asked, “Do we agree that we can redirect some of the funding?” answered, “Yes, absolutely” — all backed defund police efforts to some extent.

When Barack Obama observed “defund the police” tends to hurt Democrats, Rep. Ilhan Omar pushed back, asserting that it was “not a slogan but a policy demand.”
A policy demand is even more negative than mere hypocritical sloganizing. But Representative Omar is one of those with more hair than brains.

"Defund the police" was YOUR lunatic formula.
You own it. Man up and admit your stupidity... for once
[FoxNews] Boeing Co. shares slid Friday after a cargo version of the Boeing 737 jet made an emergency landing in the Pacific Ocean.
The incident involving the 737-200 – operated by Rhoades Aviation – occurred at around 2:30 a.m. local time when the pilots experienced engine trouble and attempted to return to Honolulu, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The aircraft was manufactured in 1975, FAA records show.
The two pilots on board were rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard. One was in good condition while the condition of the other was unknown, according to the Coast Guard.
The incident will be investigated by both the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.
Boeing shares have gained 10.5% this year following the 737 Max returning to service in December 2020. The aircraft was grounded for 20 months after two crashes killed all 346 people aboard.

[NYPOST] Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio ...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him... doubled down Friday on his controversial decision not to hire more cops even amid the Big Apple’s surging crime wave and after President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S., who gives the geriatric a bad name...... provided federal funds for the move.
When asked about The Post’s coverage of his decision not to bring on more coppers after receiving $6 billion in federal COVID-19 relief — which President Biden explicitly said could be used for tackling crime issues — the mayor told WNYC radio’s Brian Lehrer, "That’s not the whole reality.
"The money that the president focused was for certain cities that were dealing with much more profound gun-violence problems than New York is," de Blasio claimed during his weekly appearance on Lehrer’s show.
"We have a problem, Brian. I’m not trying to minimize it. We have a lot of work to do to turn around. But a number of other American cities unfortunately are going through much, much worse, and that’s where that money was targeted," de Blasio said.
The mayor had falsely claimed Thursday that Biden was talking about other cities when the president said federal coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... funding could be used to pay for more cops.
A White House source had told The Post that de Blasio was "incorrect.
"Cities like New York that are experiencing a spike in gun violence as a result of the pandemic are eligible to use [the] money to hire additional coppers above a pre-pandemic baseline level to help address that," the source said.

I expect to hear that they're hiring BLM activists as cops any day now.
[NYPOST] A testy President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S., who gives the geriatric a bad name...... on Friday cut off news hounds who were peppering him with questions about Afghanistan potentially falling to the Taliban ...Arabic for students... once US troops fully withdraw — telling them he would take their "negative" questions another time.
Biden, who met last week with Afghan leaders, said "I want to talk about happy things, man" when he received a third question on Afghanistan at an event celebrating jobs growth in June.
When a news hound attempted to ask a fourth question on Afghanistan, Biden said: "I’m not gonna answer any more questions on Afghanistan. Look, it’s Fourth of July [weekend]."
The president said, "You guys are asking me questions that I’ll answer next week. But this is a holiday weekend. I’m going to celebrate it. There’s great things happening."
[WashingtonGazette] In America, national, state, and local governments, along with allied companies and colleges, have been laying on the propaganda and pressure for everyone to take experimental coronavirus vaccines.
At least nobody is forcing us to take the vaccines, Americans may say to themselves for a modicum of relief. But pressure — often supported by government even if implemented by private parties — to take the experimental coronavirus vaccine shots can be intense. Refusal can lead to hardships including being fired from one’s job, refused entry to events, barred from travel, or kicked out of one’s college.
Jake Zuckerman reported this week at the Columbus Dispatch that in Franklin County, the state’s most populous county where the city of Columbus is located, state trial court Judge Richard Frye has imposed, as a condition for probation that allows defendants to avoid incarceration, a requirement that the defendants take experimental coronavirus vaccine shots and submit proof of having done so to the government department overseeing probation.

[REGNUM] Militants of the Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham group
...formerly known as Al Nusra, and before that the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda in Iraq...
(an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation), together with White Helmets, are preparing provocations with poisonous substances in the Syrian province of Idlib, the deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties (CPVS) in Syria said on July 2 Rear Admiral Vadim Kulit.
According to the Russian military, at the moment about 10 barrels of chemicals have been delivered there.
According to information received from local residents, the terrorists, together with members of the infamous White Helmets group, brought 10 barrels of chemical substances by truck to the area of the Harim settlement in the Syrian province of Idlib.
"According to available information, the terrorists intend to stage a“ chemical attack ”in the southern part of the Jebel Ez-Zawiye ridge for the subsequent accusation of the Syrian government forces of using poisonous substances against civilians," said Admiral Kulit.
As reported by IA REGNUM , Syrian illegal armed groups regularly try to stage chemical attacks in order to accuse the Syrian government and the Russian military of using poisonous substances against civilians.
[FoxNews] The U.S. Army is upgrading the combat awards for 60 veterans who served in Operation Gothic Serpent in 1993, a battle in Somalia more commonly known as "Black Hawk Down" for its pop culture portrayals.
Fifty-eight of the service members who fought in the battle will see their awards upgraded to Silver Stars while the other two will be upgraded to Distinguished Flying Crosses, according to the U.S. Army Special Operations Command.
"On the afternoon of Oct. 3, [1993] armed militants shot down two MH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, after which U.S. ground forces converged on the two downed aircraft to recover the personnel," an Army press release read. "The ensuing intense firefight resulted in the loss of 18 American Soldiers and remains an especially significant point in the history of the U.S. Army and U.S. Army Special Operations Command specifically."
The upgrades happened after former Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy directed the board in charge of such awards to revisit awards that had already been issued.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A journalist announced Thursday that they plan to sue The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... after the paper released a 40-minute documentary on Thursday featuring "visual investigations" regarding the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, which falsely depicting him as a rioter.
Independent journalist Brendon Leslie said that The New York Times documentary titled How Trump Supporters Took the US Capitol: Visual Investigations, not only falsely depicted him as a rioter, but "hijacked" his content without approval.
.@nytimes decided to hijack content that my news company produced without request, they have also slanderously defamed me depicting me as a rioter, while I was in DC in a professional capacity as a journalist.
According to a producer with The New York Times, Haley Willis, the selectively-edited propaganda documentary was created over the course of six months and consisted of a "massive team effort."
"Our Visual Investigations team synchronized and mapped thousands of videos of the US Capitol riot to provide the most complete picture to date of what happened on Jan. 6. We went to court to unseal police body camera footage, scoured law enforcement radio communications and interviewed witnesses," Willis said.
The New York Times recently issued a correction to their reporting on the US Capitol riot and retracted claims that Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick was killed by a Trump supporter with a fire extinguisher. The paper used anonymous sources to substantiate the false claim.

SHOULDN'T THE MEDIA be required to at least factually document and label (Verified Fact/Editorial Opinion or etc.) what it presents?
[OneIndia] The Moslem dominated insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... in 1989 eventually fired the Kashmiri Hindus out of the Kashmir Valley. The peak phase of the exodus was in the 1990s when the Hindus were targeted by terrorist groups.
A petition in the Supreme Court compared the exodus of Hindus in West Bengal to that of the one in Kashmir. As a result of the violence, loot, killing and terror, enmasse Hindus have been forced to leave their native place and to migrate to Assam, like Hindus who were forced to do the same thing in the year 1990 in Kashmir, the PIL filed by Ranjana Agnihotri, Hindu Front for Justice and Jitendra Singh said. The court has agreed to examine the matter and issued notices to the Centre, Bengal government and Election Commission of India.

...Khalistan is the idea of an independent Sikh homeland in the Indian Punjab. The local troublemakers are financed by the Sikh diaspora — who love the idea of the folks they left behind murdering their neighbours before dying romantically for a hopeless idea — with training and additional funding from Pakistan’s ISI as yet another arrow in their quiver aimed at the Indian throat since the 1980s...

A prisoner exchange took place between Syrian government forces and Turkish-backed armed factions in the countryside of Aleppo, north #Syria, and included the exchange of ten prisoners from both parties. https://t.co/dL1ZViE6ah
— NORTH PRESS AGENCY - ENGLISH (@NPA_English) July 2, 2021
The exchange took place through the Abu al-Zindin crossing in the countryside of al-Bab city, east Aleppo, where each party handed five prisoners to the other party.
The armed bandidosbully boyz of the Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian National Army handed each Milad Ashor, Hani al-Youssef, Amar al-Abdullah, Mortada Mahfouz, and Youssef Hamdan over to government forces, a security source from the government forces who requested anonymity said.
The prisoners included officers, two of which have been prisoners for more than four years, he added.
The same source denied the authenticity of what was reported by government-backed security sources regarding the release of 37 prisoners from the opposition in return for their five members, adding, "the government aims to raise the morale of their members and to show itself as caring about them and not leaving them in captivity."
Social media websites of pro-Syrian National Army individuals published the names of those who the Syrian government released, including Hussein Issa, Hussein al-His, Muhammad Diya’ Boulad, Mahmud al-Rifa’i, and Ahmed Shamiya.
The prisoner exchange followed negotiations between the government and military commander of the Mutasim Brigade, Farouq Abu Bakr, the government security source added.
The source pointed out that Muhammad Diya’ Boulad, who was released by the government, is a cousin of Saif Abu Bakr, an official in the Hamza Division, and Hussein Issa, who was also released by the government, is a nephew of an official in Sultan Murad Division.

The NDS and National Police officers detained a man who had placed explosives including RDX explosives, chemicals, and a hand grenade inside a musical instrument, pretending him to be a musician, the statement said.
The suspect named Sayed Edresullah Parviz is a 33-year-old Afghan man who was born in Pashtun-infested Logar province of Afghanistan. He was one of the passengers of the Herat-Kabul flight for Friday morning.
No details about his relationship with the terrorist networks available yet.

[NATION.PK] With news of two drones hitting a heavily guarded air base in Jammu, India media went into overdrive to blame Pakistain, and it was not unexpected. After all, the pride of Indian Military, the Indian Air Force(IAF), which gobbles billions of dollars every year is a big burden on the exchequer. IAF consumes almost 23 percent of the 70 billion dollars allocated for defence. In 2020 and 2021, IAF surpassed the Army and Navy in biting the allocation for so-called modernisation budget. Perhaps because - unlike the other IAF (Israeli) - the enemy the Indians face doesn't pose an existential threat, other than the nukes?
As reported by the Stimson Centre in February this year, analysts recorded an overall defence modernisation budget of USD $12.48 billion in 2020, with the IAF provided the highest budget of USD $5.36 billion. India also signed significant strategic defence and security cooperation agreements with major and emerging powers. Moreover, the Indian military heavily overspent and made emergency purchases due to the ongoing confrontation with China. Specifically, the IAF overspent by USD $1.61 billion, the Navy by $1.49 billion, and the Army by $112.62 million.
So far no one has claimed the credit for these drone attacks on IAF; irrespective of the fact that these may be part of the false flag operations, IAF has been badly smacked by Indian media. This may be justified due to the poor track record of IAF during its skirmish with Pakistain Air Force in February 2019 and its inability to warn the Indian politicianship about the Chinese build up in Ladakh last year.

[BBC] Ten churches have been vandalised in Alberta, Canada, in attacks that police have linked to anger over historic injustices against indigenous people.Investigators in the province said orange and red paint was daubed on the churches in the city of Calgary.
The premier of Alberta said the attacks were "appalling".
It comes after unmarked graves were found around former church-run residential schools that indigenous children were once forced to attend.
The grim discoveries prompted some calls for national celebrations in honour of Canada Day on 1 July to be cancelled.
Alberta's Premier Jason Kenney, said on Thursday one of the vandalised locations was an African Evangelical Church in the city of Calgary.
He said its congregation was made up entirely of former refugees who fled countries where churches are often vandalised and burned down.
"These folks came to Canada with the hope that they could practise their faith peacefully," tweeted Mr Kenney, a Conservative. "Some of them are traumatised by such attacks.
"This is where hatred based on collective guilt for historic injustices leads us. Let's seek unity, respect & reconciliation instead."

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Antifa ...the armed wing of the Democratic Party... accounts on Twitter are promoting a direct action against a rally outside a Los Angeles spa where a woman complained last week that a transgender individual's male genitals were exposed to women and girls in the female section.
The Koreatown health club became the center of controversy after a female customer confronted spa staff about a transwoman with male genitals being permitted to disrobe in the spa's women section. The confrontation was caught on camera over the weekend, fueling online discourse with threats of a boycott against the spa. Antifa groups are now painting the incident as as a matter of trans rights—opposed to the rights of "cisgender" females to not be exposed to male anatomy.
"Please consider joining us as we stand against rampant transphobia in Los Angeles," tweeted SoCal Antifa, a self-described group of Antifa activists spread throughout Southern Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,. The Twitter account has turned off comments.

She dropped out because she was polling in negative numbers because of racism. Her father is a Marxist professor emeritus at Stanford and her mother is an Indian of the Hindoo tribe. She is reputedly the proud descendant of a long line of women. Joe Biden picked her for her skin tone, feeling she could also bring in the Native American, women's and bimbo votes. She's displaying her level of competence in her handling of the Biden Border Surge . The vice president has become a comic figure in today’s Washington—a politician given to missteps and unforced errors who inspires neither loyalty nor trust within her inner circle. She might have been Biden’s safest pick for running mate. But now she’s a liability for both the president and the Democratic Party.It’s not just that Harris is unpopular. Her unique combination of falsity and incompetence generates negative press and endangers her dreams of succeeding Biden. For Harris, the month of June has been an extended replay of highlights from Veep, the HBO comedy starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a clueless and floundering politician on the make. Only Harris isn’t laughing.

[IsraelTimes] Shlomo Noginski, an Israeli citizen, hospitalized in stable, pH balanced condition; attacker apprehended and identified as 24-year-old Khaled Awad.
A Chabad rabbi was attacked and stabbed multiple times outside a Jewish center in Boston on Thursday in an apparent antisemitic attack. He was hospitalized in stable, pH balanced condition.
Rabbi Shlomo Noginski was attacked while outside Shaloh House, a Chabad institute for Russian-speaking Jews in the Brighton neighborhood, Chabad.org reported. The report said a man approached Noginski, who was outside talking on his phone. He drew a gun and told Noginski to take him to his car. When he tried to force him inside, Noginski tried to flee and the man stabbed him repeatedly.
Rabbi Dan Rodkin, the executive director of the Shaloh House, said Noginski was stabbed eight times.
A Boston Police Department spokesperson said the victim was stabbed outside the building that houses the school and synagogue on Chestnut Hill Street in Brighton at 1:19 p.m.
The attacker was apprehended by police, who later identified him as Khaled Awad,
... an Egyptian resident of Brighton who has been in the U.S. for four years. Possibly he is an immigrant, whether legal or not, possibly he is only here temporarily as a student — the internet is remarkably silent in the question...
24. He has been charged with assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon and assault and battery on a police officer.
Police said they were stepping up patrols at nearby synagogues and Jewish sites.
Police did not provide details of Awad’s motivation or immediately classify the attack as a hate crime. However, a clean conscience makes a soft pillow... local Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley said it appeared to be antisemitic.
"While we await further details & pray for his recovery, let me say plainly that all of our neighbors deserve to live free from fear. Antisemitism is a clear and persistent threat to our communities," tweeted Pressley.
Pressley is a member of the so-called Squad of progressive Democratic politicians, including Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar ...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side... , who have been accused of leading an anti-Israel charge in the party. Omar has also frequently been accused of antisemitism.
The incident occurred at a time that a summer camp was taking place in the building.
Chabad said most campers were off-site, while others were safely in the building at the time of the attack. The institution briefly went into lockdown.
A man suspected of stabbing a rabbi several times near a Jewish day school in Boston was held without bail Friday at his arraignment pending a hearing to determine whether he is a danger to society.
Khaled Awad, 24, pleaded not guilty "Wudn't me." to assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon and assault and battery on a police officer in connection with the Thursday afternoon stabbing of Rabbi Shlomo Noginski in the city’s Brighton neighborhood.
The attorney who represented Awad on Friday could not be reached for comment. A number for Awad, who’s from Brighton, could not be found.
The hearing to determine whether he’s a danger is scheduled for July 8. Awad has no record in Massachusetts but has faced charges of battery and theft in Florida and was sent to a mental health facility there, prosecutors said.
The suspect approached the rabbi with a gun and a knife while he was talking on the phone, sitting on the steps of the school, according to prosecutors and Rabbi Dan Rodkin, executive director of Shaloh House. The suspect allegedly demanded the rabbi’s car keys, and Noginski ran across the street to a park where he was stabbed.
According to the court documents, when police located the suspect, he pointed what appeared to be a firearm at them. Three officers drew their firearms and ordered the suspect to drop his weapon multiple times, authorities said. The suspect then lowered his weapon and threw it to the ground.
The suspect kicked one of the officers in the stomach as he was being assisted into a transport vehicle for booking, police said.
Noginski, a father of 12, experienced anti-Semitism as a child in the Soviet Union when he was badly beaten in one attack, Rodkin told Fox News. In response, his mother put him in martial arts classes and he is now a black belt in judo, Rodkin said.
The family eventually moved to Israel where Noginski became a successful businessman and was a city councilman at one point. He moved to Boston to serve the city's Russian-speaking Jewish community, Rodkin said.
"He dropped everything in Israel to come here to be a rabbi," he said. "It's hard to find a person who's more kind, more gentle, very sincere, very humble."

Not true...this is all made up...Boston the home of the Socialist Liberal Progressive Heartland...no this can not happen, John Kerry would not stand for such things happening at home...
Successful businessman in Israel before he became a rabbi, according to Fox News, so probably supplementing his rabbinical salary from his own resources. My synagogue had a rabbinic intern who had been a successful lawyer before feeling called to a new career — neither dressed like students.
Incidentally, I happened by the local Chabad building yesterday, and noticed I had to be buzzed in despite being in a quiet suburb, just like my synagogue.
Prosecutors said Awad has no record in Massachusetts, but has faced charges of battery and theft in Florida and was sent to a mental health facility there. He’ll be held without bail until a dangerousness hearing on July 8.
His former college roommates and friends at the University of Southern Florida, where he studied chemical engineering until very recently, say Awad had showed a propensity for violence.
“He started becoming violent,” said Eric Valiente, a friend of Awad’s.
His roommate Aidan says he and Awad were friends until Awad attacked him in their shared kitchen on day, prompting Aidan to move out and get a restraining order.
“We were friends, to be honest with you. I’m Jewish. And he knew that since I moved in,” said Aidan Anderson, the suspect’s former roommate.
Aidan and Eric say Awad’s beliefs towards certain cultures became evident early on.
“He was very much anti-Semitic. He would say like all types of Jewish jokes. I thought he was joking at first and then I started to see seriousness in his comments,” said Eric.
After the assault in fall of 2020, the friend distanced themselves from Khaled, but still say they’re shocked he would go so far as to assault a stranger with a weapon.
[AlAhram] Kurdish authorities hold thousands of suspected jihadist fighters in their jails, as well as tens of thousands of their relatives in camps for the displaced.
Syria's Kurds Friday urged international help to set up rehabilitation centres for minors linked to the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group, after charges they were holding "hundreds of children" in adult prisons.
Acknowledging that some jihadist-linked minors were being held in adult prisons, separate to the many more in camps, senior Kurdish foreign affairs official Abdelkarim Omar told AFP around 30 teenagers have lately been transferred out of one overcrowded camp.
He spoke just days after the International Committee of the Red Thingy said "hundreds of children -- mostly boys, some as young as 12 -- are detained in adult prisons" in northeast Syria.
Kurdish authorities hold thousands of suspected jihadist fighters in their jails, as well as tens of thousands of their relatives in camps for the displaced, after spearheading a US-backed battle against IS that formally ended in victory in early 2019.
Omar told AFP an unspecified number of IS-linked minors who are held in jails are kept in separate quarters to the adults.
He said the region desperately needed more rehabilitation centres for teenagers, on top of a single one already housing some 120 near the city of Qamishli.
"We think children do not belong in either camps or prisons," he told AFP.
As a start, he said, "between 30 to 35 children aged 12 and older have been taken out of the al-Hol camp."
The Kurds were preparing a new rehabilitation centre in the city of Hasakeh, which "will be ready in the coming days", Omar added.
Since Kurdish-led fighters expelled IS from the last scrap of their territorial "caliphate" in March 2019, al-Hol has swelled to a tent city of some 62,000 people -- civilians but also alleged IS relatives.
The United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... says it has documented "radicalisation" in the camp, where the number of guards is limited and around 10,000 foreign IS-linked women and kiddies lived in a separate annex.
Fabrizio Carboni, head of ICRC's Middle East and Near East operations, on Wednesday described a "pervasive sense of hopelessness" in al-Hol.
Boys lived "in a state of constant fear", as "once they reach a certain age, many are separated from their families and transferred to adult places of detention," he said in a statement.
He called for children in detention to be "either reunited with their families in camps, repatriated alongside them or have alternative care arrangements made for them".
Omar, the Kurdish official, urged the international community to help it "set up 15 or 16 centres to bring the children out of the jails, until a solution is found".
Keeping them in their current "environment will only lead to the emergence of a new generation of terrorists," he warned.

[ToloNews] Sources say that 23 people, including security force members and members of the public uprising forces, were killed and five more were maimed in Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... attacks in Badakhshan and Baghlan provinces in northern Afghanistan on Thursday night.
Two sources from Badakhshan police said that eight people, including security force members, were killed and three more were maimed in Taliban attacks on different outposts in the city of Faizabad.
But other sources from the province said that the Taliban attacked three to four outposts in Yaftal-e-Bala area on the outskirts of Faizabad city on Thursday night in which 20 security force members and members of the public uprising forces, including their commander, were killed and some of them were taken hostage by the Taliban.
The sources said that some military vehicles and weapons also fell to the Taliban.
Some Badakhshan residents who spoke to TOLOnews said the situation in Faizabad city is alarming and that it is faced with the threat of falling to the Death Eaters if the Taliban attacks are not pushed back.
Meanwhile, ...back at the pond, Gloria slowly backed away from the eight-foot bull frog. If the creature croaked she would surely be deafened... in Baghlan, three people, including Mohiuddin Paikan Haidari, the head of the education department of Pul-e-Charkhi Prison, were killed in an ambush by the Taliban in Khost district in the province, last night, sources said.
Two others who were killed in the attack were commanders of public uprising forces who were heading to a frontline to fight the Taliban.
The sources said that two members of the public uprising forces were maimed in the clash. According to the sources, four Taliban fighters were also killed in the attack.
This comes as thousands of people have taken up arms in various provinces to fight against the Taliban amidst a surge in attacks by the group.

[NYPOST] It’s a travesty, not a triumph: Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance’s long-running investigation (with New York Attorney General Letitia James) into the Trump Organization just produced ... indictments for minor offenses that almost never bring criminal charges.
But this is Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... (well, his company), so normal standards didn’t apply.
The company’s chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, walked in on his own — yet the prosecutors made a show of handcuffing him and walking him down a hall crowded with news hounds.
Vance acquired years of Trump Organization tax records, yet all he’s found is an alleged failure to pay proper taxes on corporate perks like cars, tuition and apartments. Any other company and it’s a civil suit, an audit, perhaps a hefty fine.
If Vance had any evidence suggesting serious fraud (as press leaks long suggested), he’d have included them already. MSNBC hosts and blue-checked Twitter are slobbering that the CFO will cut a deal and reveal the real crimes. Why hasn’t he flipped yet, they yell. Maybe because there’s nothing to flip on?
When it comes to Trump, liberals are giving Wile E. Coyote a bad name. We’ll get him this time! Just you wait!
#3
Derek Chauvin's conviction is a travesty of justice. The murder trial of the guy in Texas who shot a BLM threatening him with AK-47, is a a travesty of justice.
Trump Organization indictments are a fart in a glass of water.
#6
So Trump does business for decades with the New York-New Jersey construction industry -- which I understand is not operated by the Little Sisters of the Poor -- and this is what four years of investigation by a highly motivated federal prosecutor turns up? Trump must be entitled to some sort of merit badge for being the most thoroughly investigated man in history.

[OneIndia] The National Investigation Agency conducted raids in Hyderabad in connection with the Darbhanga Railway Station Blast Case.
During the raids, the NIA searched the homes of accused Mohammad Nasir Khan and Imran Malik in New Mallepally. The searches led to the recovery and seizures of various incriminating material and multiple digital devices.
The items recovered from the premises of the accused persons contained various documents pertaining to procedure for fabrication of IED and materials used for making of IEDs.
The accused originally hail from Shamli district in Uttar Pradesh. Earlier, the UP police had arrested a father son duo-Mohammad Haji Salim and his son Mohammad Kafil from Kairana, UP in connection with the same case.
The case was first registered in June 2021 following a kaboom on Platform 1 of the Darbhanga Railway Station. The parcel in which the explosive was placed was booked at Secunderabad and arrived by train. The NIA later took over the probe.
The accused persons were arrested from Hyderabad on June 30 2021. Preliminary investigations revealed that this strike was part of a trans-national conspiracy hatched by the Lashkar-e-Tayiba to execute terror acts across the country and cause large scale damage to life and property.
Nasir and Khan had acted on the instructions of their handlers in Pakistain. The two accused who are brothers fabricated an incendiary IED and packed it in a parcel of cloth and booked the same in a long distance train from Secunderabad to Darbhanga.
The NIA learnt that the aim of the accused was to cause a kaboom in the train, which in turn would have led to a fire breaking out resulting in loss of lives and property. It was found that Khan had visited Pakistain in the year 2012 and had received training from his handlers in the fabrication of IED from locally available channels. He along with his brother Imran was in touch with Pakistain based handlers of LeT over encrypted communication platforms, the NIA said.
While credible information about the connection of the accused persons has been found with the ISI, the probe also found that these persons had taken instructions from their handlers-Iqbal Khana and Asif Khana of Pakistain.

[WashingtonGazette] The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled last week that Baltimore’s use of aerial surveillance that could track the movements of the entire city violated the Fourth Amendment.
The case, Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle v. Baltimore Police Department, challenged the Baltimore Police Department’s (BPD) use of an aerial surveillance program that continuously captured an estimated 12 hours of coverage of 90 percent of the city each day for a six-month pilot period. EFF, joined by the Brennan Center for Justice, Electronic Privacy Information Center, FreedomWorks, National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the Rutherford Institute, filed an amicus brief arguing that the two previous court decisions upholding the constitutionality of the program misapplied Supreme Court precedent and failed to recognize the disproportionate impact of surveillance, like Baltimore’s program, on communities of color.
In its decision, the full Fourth Circuit found that BPD’s use and analysis of its Aerial Investigation Research (AIR) data was a warrantless search that violated the Fourth Amendment. Relying on the Supreme Court’s decisions in United States v. Jones and United States v. Carpenter, the Fourth Circuit held that Carpenter—which ruled that cell-site location information was protected under the Fourth Amendment and thus may only be obtained with a warrant—applied “squarely” to this case. The Fourth Circuit explained that the district court had misapprehended the extent of what the AIR program could do. The district court believed that the program only engaged in short-term tracking. However, the Fourth Circuit clarified that, like the cell-site location information tracking in Carpenter, the AIR program’s detailed data collection and 45-day retention period gave BPD the ability to chronicle movements in a “detailed, encyclopedic” record, akin to “attaching an ankle monitor to every person in the city.”
The court further stated that oversurveillance and the resulting overpolicing do not allow different communities to enjoy the same rights
That ability to deduce an individual’s movements over time violated Baltimore residents’ reasonable expectation of privacy. In making that determination, the court underscored the importance of considering not only the raw data that was gathered but also “what that data could reveal.” Contrary to the BPD’s claims that the aerial surveillance data was anonymous, the court pointed to studies that demonstrated the ease with which people could be identified by just a few points of their location history because of the unique and habitual way we all move. Moreover, the court stated that when this data was combined with Baltimore’s wide array of existing surveillance tools, deducing an individual’s identity became even simpler.
The court also recognized the racial and criminal justice implications of oversurveillance. It noted that although mass surveillance touches everyone, “its hand is heaviest in communities already disadvantaged by their poverty, race, religion, ethnicity, and immigration status,” and that the impact of high-tech monitoring is “conspicuous in the lives of those least empowered to object.” The court further stated that oversurveillance and the resulting overpolicing do not allow different communities to enjoy the same rights: while “liberty from governmental intrusion can be taken for granted in some neighborhoods,” others “experience the Fourth Amendment as a system of surveillance, social control, and violence, not as a constitutional boundary that protects them from unreasonable searches and seizures.”
In a powerful concurring opinion, Chief Judge Gregory dug deeper into this issue. Countering the dissent’s assumption that limiting police authority leads to more violence, the concurrence pointed out that Baltimore spends more per capita on policing than any comparable city, with disproportionate policing of Black neighborhoods. However, policing like the AIR program did not make the city safer; rather, it ignored the root issues that perpetuated violence in the city, including a long history of racial segregation, redlining, and wildly unequal distribution of resources.

[ToloNews] As Taliban ...Arabic for students... attacks continue, an army commander in the north said that "hundreds of troops" have been deployed to protect the Hairatan border town in the northern province of Balkh.
Kaldar district has been contested between the government forces and the Taliban in the last few weeks, something that has threatened trade and transit through Hairatan that shares a border with Uzbekistan.
The forces have been stationed at bases as close as five kilometers to the east and west of the border town, said Sayed Saadullah Hashemi, the deputy commander of Afghan Army’s 209 Shaheen Corps.
He said that no attack has happened by the Taliban in the last two days.
"Right now, security forces, including commandos, the border forces, the special units have created a security belt within a five kilometers area to protect the border town from all sides," Hashemi said.
Officials in Hairatan said no truck has entered the border from Uzbekistan in the last two days while normally 250 trucks cross the border to Afghanistan daily.
"The recent wave of insecurity in the north has reduced the traffic at the border town," said Jamshid Khorasanpoor, head of maintenance and service department of Hairatan.
Residents of the border town said markets are closed and many families have left their homes following the rise of insecurity in Balkh.
"People are worried. One goes to Mazar (the capital of Balkh), while others go to villages," said Abdul Karim, a resident of Hairatan border town.
"The town is closed. People are scared," said Fida Mohammad, a resident of Hairatan.
According to local officials, the Taliban has reached as close as five kilometers to Hairatan after capturing Kaldar and Shortepa districts in Balkh. But army commanders assured that they would use all their resources to protect the area.
"We will use all our efforts and resources, especially at the border forces regiment, to defend and protect the area," said Mohammad Jan Mohammadi, a border forces commander in the north.
Taliban has captured nine districts in Balkh, increasing their pressure on the border town of Hairatan.
"We will soon launch an operation in various parts," Hairatan police chief Mohammad Shafi Faiz said.
Zare, Kushinda, Sholgara. Chimtal, Chahar Bolak, Balkh, Dawlat Abad, Shortepa, and Kaldar districts in Balkh have recently fallen to the Taliban.
[NYPOST] A female Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, corrections officer with a "depraved mind" has been locked away Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! for reportedly having sex with an inmate — in full view of 11 other jailbirds.
Tina Gonzalez, 26, even cut a hole in her uniform pants — to make it easier to have sex in Fresno County Jail, her sentencing hearing was told on Tuesday, according to The Fresno Bee.
Her former boss, Assistant Sheriff Steve McComas, told the court that he had witnessed many "pretty disgusting things" during his 26-years on the job — but nothing as shocking as hearing of Gonzalez’s sex session in full view of other inmates.
"That is something only a depraved mind can come up with," McComas told the court, according to the local paper.
Gonzalez — who quit after being arrested in May last year — also supplied the same inmate with razors, a cell phone and advance warnings when his cell was going to be searched, the reports said.
"She took an oath which she betrayed and in doing so endangered her coworkers’ lives," McComas said.
"But she has shown no remorse. She continually calls and has sexually explicit conversations with the inmate in question and boasts about the crimes she carried out," he told the court, according to the Bee.

[Fox Business] New York City residents were being told to shut down appliances and scale back on air conditioning amid the threat of blackouts due to an ongoing heat wave in the Big Apple. Turn off your air conditioning, or you won't have any lights.
Energy provider Con Edison sounded the alarm on Wednesday by urging customers to conserve energy in order to "help keep service reliable," and followed up later with a tweet informing residents that they would be distributing dry ice to Brooklynites who had already lost power after four days of high temperatures and humidity. Roughly 1,700 people were impacted by the Brooklyn outages, FOX 5 reported. I hope the dry ice comes with warning signs and instructions is 10-15 languages.
Residents also received phone alerts calling for them to "immediately limit energy usage to prevent power outages as the intense heat continues," to "avoid the use of high-energy appliances such as washers, dryers, and microwaves" and to "limit unnecessary use of air conditioning." Do they have any natural gas stoves in NYC?
Mayor Bill de Blasio then made a plea via Twitter, writing, "We need New Yorkers to take IMMEDIATE action: reduce your use of electricity in your home or your business for the rest of the day. We need to avoid energy disruptions during this heat emergency." I guess Seattle didn't have a problem with the recent heat there - most homes don't have A/C and besides, they have hydropower electricity.

You need to get adult supervision in getting you more electricity. You start with taking out the Greenies and Anti-nuke Luddites.

Distributing a hazardous substance to tribal people? I don't see that turning out well.
Would it be mean to mention that dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide? As a result of policies to reduce CO2 emissions, they are passing out chunks of CO2. I'm sure it all makes sense if you look at it just the right way and squint.
[ToloNews] Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday said that ISISturbans are building up their forces in northern Afghanistan as US and NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants... troops are leaving the country, calling it a worry for Moscow.
Quoted in a report by Rooters, Lavrov said ISIS was actively gaining territory in Afghanistan amid the withdrawal and what he described as the "irresponsible" stance taken by officials in Kabul.
"It is also important to pay attention to Afghanistan, where ISIS (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.... ) is actively concentrating its forces. And they do it using the unforgivably prolonged process of preparing real peace negotiations. And those in the ruling structures of Afghanistan who are trying in every possible way to delay this process even more, of course, should think about the consequences of these actions for their homeland," Lavrov said as quoted by Rooters.
Lavrov said that ISIS is taking the advantage of the current situation to develop its territories in Afghanistan.
"This worries us because in the conditions of the irresponsible behavior of some officials in Kabul, in the conditions of the rash withdrawal of NATO troops from Afghanistan, which has left not a single possibility to report on the completion of at least some tasks. Under these conditions, ISIS is actively developing territories, primarily in the north of Afghanistan, right on the border with countries that are our allies," he said as quoted by Rooters.
This comes amidst a sharp rise in Taliban ...Arabic for students... attacks in northern Afghanistan where they have captured dozens of districts.
