Government Corruption
Andrew Cuomo Resigns As NY Governor
I was thinking the only way he was going to leave office was feet first, but there it is.
See also here.
[Townhall] - New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) resigned from office on Tuesday afternoon in a shocking announcement. His resignation will be effective in 14 days. Cuomo was found to have violated state and federal law for multiple instances of sexual harassment of female employees in the workplace.

"The best way I can help now is if I step aside and let government get back to governing, and therefore, that's what I'll do," Cuomo said at a Tuesday press conference.

[MSN] Pandemic ’Hero’ Andrew Cuomo Finally Resigns in Disgrace

In one of the most dramatic political downfalls in recent memory, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Tuesday that he is resigning his office amid a welter of allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct.

The decision came a little more than a year after Cuomo emerged as the face of supposedly rational Democratic decision-making amid ex-President Donald Trump's bungling response to the COVID-19 pandemic‐and just one week after State Attorney General Letitia James released a devastating report that found the governor had subjected 11 women to unwanted comments and touching.
Update from The Daily Beast at 1:30 p.m. ET:
“I think that, given the circumstances, the best way I can help now is if I step aside and let government get back to governing, and therefore, that’s what I’ll do,” Cuomo said Tuesday, adding that his resignation will be effective in 14 days.

Judicial Watch: New Documents reveal the DC Office of the Chief Medical Examiner Submitted a Request to Cremate Ashli Babbitt Two Days after Gaining Custody of Her Body
(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch announced today that it received 1160 pages of documents from Washington, DC’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) related to Air Force veteran and San Diego native Ashli Babbitt. These new documents reveal that OCME submitted a request for permission to cremate Babbitt only two days after taking custody of her body and that ’due to the "high profile nature" of Babbitt’s case, Deputy Chief Medical Examiner Francisco Diaz requested that a secure electronic file with limited access be created for Babbitt’s records.

Additionally, Babbitt’s fingerprints were emailed to a person supposedly working for the DC government, which resulted in Microsoft "undeliverable" messages written in Chinese characters being returned.

Babbitt was shot and killed by an unidentified law enforcement officer as she attempted to climb through a broken interior window in the Capitol Building, located outside the Speaker’s Lobby off the House Floor during the January 6 disturbance. She was unarmed. At the time of the shooting, several officers reportedly can be seen in videos, standing in the crowd of protestors in which Babbitt was present.

The records were obtained in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit concerning two FOIA requests submitted by Judicial Watch on April 8, 2021 to the Metropolitan Police Department and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for records related to Babbitt’s death (Judicial Watch v. The District of Columbia (No. 2021 CA 001710 B)).

The newly obtained records reveal:

No flowers, no remembrances or celebration of live, no veteran's burial at Arlington.

-Lurid Crime Tales-
CNN and 'Cori Bush blasted for fake news story that helped to raise $230,000 for 'single mom of three facing homelessness over eviction moratorium' - but was actually just babysitter of three
[Daily Mail? or Bee?]
  • Dasha Kelly, 32, of Las Vegas, was featured in a segment last week about her struggle to pay rent amid the end of the eviction moratorium

  • The outlet even brought Kelly back with the children for a follow-up interview with far-left Democratic Congresswoman Cori Bush

  • Kelly is raising funds to cover her rent through a GoFundMe page that has raised over $230,000

  • Another woman, named Shadia Hilo, has since come forward as the girls' rightful mother and prompted CNN to release a correction

  • The correction: 'She says she originally described herself to CNN as a mother because she considers herself to be like one to them. CNN has learned the children are also cared for by their mother, Shadia Hilo, and their father, David Allison, who is Kelly's boyfriend. GoFundMe tells CNN they are in close contact with Kelly and funds will stay on hold until they verify her information. GoFundMe says no funds have been withdrawn.'

CDC COVID-19 Delta variant
CDC PUBLISHED FACTS

CDC statements:

The Delta variant causes more infections and spreads faster than early forms of SARS-CoV-2.

The Delta variant is more contagious than previous strains--it may cause more than two times as many infections.

Vaccination increases your odds from infection or severe infection.

Some data suggests the Delta variant might cause more severe illness than previous strains in unvaccinated persons.

2 non-USA studies concluded patients infected with the Delta variant were more likely to be hospitalized than patients infected with previous strains.

Unvaccinated people remain the greatest concern but breakthrough infections do happen, but less often than infections in unvaccinated people.

Fully vaccinated people with breakthrough infections, can transmit the Delta variant to others.

CDC is continuing to assess data on the percentages of fully vaccinated people with breakthrough infections and numbers that were able to transmit the virus to others.

SIDE NOTE: Early external non-CDC study data placed the fully vaccinated people with breakthrough infections at between about 0.14# to 0.16#. However, recent deeper studies due to the increased number of infections are claiming much higher numbers and percentages.For instance, data from the U.K. suggests the Pfizer vaccine is 88% effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19 from the delta variant after two doses. Which is a a 12% GAP.

CDC admits that a percentage of fully vaccinated people with Delta variant breakthrough infections can spread the virus to others. But the greater risk of transmission is still among unvaccinated people who are more likely to contract, and therefore transmit the Covid-19 DELTA variant.

CDC makes it very clear in noting, vaccinated people appear to be infectious for a shorter period.

In contrast,
The Delta variant seems to produce the same high amount of virus in both unvaccinated and fully vaccinated people. However, like other variants, the amount of virus produced by Delta breakthrough infections in fully vaccinated people also goes down faster than infections in unvaccinated people. This means fully vaccinated people are likely infectious for less time than unvaccinated people.

#1  About those CDC numbers, according to CNN via Townhall:

More than 99.99% of people [in the U.S.] who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 have not had a breakthrough case resulting in hospitalization or death, according to a CNN analysis of data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

As of Aug. 2, more than 164 million people in the United States were fully vaccinated against Covid-19, according to the CDC. Fewer than 0.001% of those individuals — 1,507 people — died and fewer than 0.005% — 7,101 people — were hospitalized with Covid-19.

CDC last published data on breakthrough cases through July 26. These latest figures include 938 additional severe breakthrough cases — 862 additional hospitalizations and 244 additional deaths — reported over that seven-day period. The CDC does not provide more detail about the timing of the breakthrough cases.

About three-quarters (74%) of all reported breakthrough cases were among seniors age 65 or older. Of the roughly 1,500 people who died, one in five passed away from something other than Covid-19 even though they had a breakthrough case of the virus, according to the CDC.


So breakthrough cases are primarily an exceedingly rare problem of the unhealthy elderly — the same people who were the vast majority of those who got horribly sick and died of the thing among the unvaccinated.

Tyranny Always Starts with a Little Prick
[American Thinker] Ten years ago, when Tea Party Patriot groups were popping up all over America to fight back against Obamacare's socialized medicine and its expansion of the welfare state, it was common to hear the battle framed as one between "makers" and "takers," a rebuke by working-class Americans who knew they would ultimately be paying more in taxes for worse health care so that Americans who paid no taxes at all could have their "fair share." When people called out Obama and his medical mandates (you must have Obamacare, and Obamacare must cover abortions, "sex change" operations, and anything else the government decrees...) for orchestrating a federal takeover of one fifth of the economy while inviting Big Brother to peek behind the hospital curtain and spy on the private health decisions of every American, they were lambasted for not having enough empathy for those in need. Obama was just implementing Romneycare on a national scale and walking in George Bush's "compassionate conservative" footsteps, after all. What could possibly go wrong?

Turns out an awful lot can go wrong awfully quickly. Obamacare mandates have morphed into mask and lockdown and injection mandates. Obama's use of the NSA, IRS, and FBI to threaten conservative speech became redundant when Silicon Valley censorship boards jumped in to do the government's bidding in the name of public health. After conditioning Americans to recoil at anything deemed "hate speech" or "harmful misinformation," the government has had a pretty easy time banning as "hateful" or "harmful" anybody still putting up a fight. And after scaring enough Americans into thinking they would instantly die for breathing fresh air, the gangrenous Obama Gang has had no problem finding volunteers willing to spy on their neighbors, lock themselves behind closed doors, and demand implementation of government-issued travel papers for future movements of any kind.

Thank goodness the World Health Organization wasn't around in 1781, or General Cornwallis might have won at Yorktown just by browbeating our colonial ancestors into believing that freedom can be granted only by credentialed health professionals. "You see, George, our civilian wellness authorities assure us that your little revolution has been a super-spreader event of the highest order, and these are nonpartisan 'experts,' mind you, so to continue would just be devilishly selfish. Best to lock everyone back in their homes. You don't mind garrisoning some of our troops, do you? Whole thing should be over in fifteen days. Honest." Nah, when you're fighting for freedom at any cost, nothing stands in your way. When you're handed freedom at no cost, nothing seems worth the fight. You can't secure independence while declaring dependence on government at every turn.

Biden administration opens new review of 9/11 documents
[Aljazeera] The US Justice Department is taking a fresh look at secret United States government documents about the September 11, 2001 al-Qaeda attacks with an eye to releasing more information to the public.

The move, welcomed by President Joe Biden in a White House statement, comes as family members of many of nearly 3,000 victims of the 2001 attacks have demanded Biden act.

"As I promised during my campaign, my Administration is committed to ensuring the maximum degree of transparency under the law, and to adhering to the rigorous guidance issued during the Obama-Biden Administration on the invocation of the state secrets privilege," Biden said in a statement released on Monday by the White House.

"In this vein, I welcome the Department of Justice’s filing today, which commits to conducting a fresh review of documents where the government has previously asserted privileges, and to doing so as quickly as possible," Biden said.

In the run-up to the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, family members of victims have sought to pressure Biden to declassify government documents that they contend will show Saudi Arabian leaders supported the attacks.

The problem with ANY Government controlled/stored document or Evidence held for such a long period, is those that have seen a need to adjust the facts to meet their Narrative.

eg. A Sandy Berger - 2003
The former National Security Adviser under the Clinton Administration, illegally took classified documents from the National Archives on more than one occasion.

eg.
Kendra Kingsbury, an employee of the FBI’s Kansas City Division has been indicted by a federal grand jury for illegally removing numerous national security documents from June 2004 to Dec. 15, 2017, that were found in her home.


There is actually a Federal Website that tracks such incidents and suspected tamperings.

Last month the Military Commissions prosecutor, BG Mark Martins, suddenly decided to retire after 10 years as the primary prosecutor...something else is on the way from the Biden admin...and Martins likely knows it and does not want to be a part of it.

The families were big fans of BG Martins and suspect foul play is afoot regarding the KSM trial.

Likely the Biden admin has no clear goal so to speak...just trying to mimic what Obama did when he declassified a large portion of the 9/11 report. And Obama was correct to do so...Biden doesn't have a clue why he is doing what he is doing, just trying to protect his phoney baloney job...harumph.

If Biden was serious he would ship the 9/11 trial judge, prosecutor, and defense team to GTMO and tell them they can come home when the 9/11 KSM trial is complete.

Until then all is Kabuki theater.

Guy Who Thinks You Should Die At 75 Wants To Take Over FDA
[The Federalist] President Joe Biden is reportedly considering naming Ezekiel Emanuel, who clearly stated that he doesn’t believe older people contribute to society and that he wants to die by 75, to head the Food and Drug Administration as its permanent commissioner, Politico reports.

Emanuel, 63, served as an adviser on Biden’s campaign before joining the new administration’s COVID-19 advisory board. During his time there, he called for prolonged lockdowns to fight COVID-19.

Politico notes that "Emanuel has little experience in drug policymaking and has never worked at FDA," but claims that he is in the running for the top position after years of appealing to Democrats and their agenda.

"He’s won allies within the administration due to his background aiding the Obama administration, health policy ’vision’ and broader knowledge of the government," the article stated.

Emanuel built his reputation with Democrats and Biden after previously leading the Obama administration in their efforts to create the Affordable Care Act. Emanuel appears to have found long-lasting favor with Biden and his team such as the scandal-plagued Dr. Anthony Fauci who Politico claims is one of the oncologist’s biggest backers.

#1  The globalist goal is of course the coercing of the world’s population into obtaining a Digital ID. The desired tiered outcomes are the exercising of surveillance and control over all human beings and resources, and ultimately global domination.

Big tech and the telecommunications industry play a vital role in the digital identity. As tens of thousands of unvax'd stream across our Southern border, a method of identification, tracking, and providing of medial care will eventually become necessary. The method and tools are already available. The stumbling block is the sales program. One of the justifications may rest in the necessity of medical care.

Amazon knows who you are, what you have purchased, your method of payment, to include a foto of the delivery. It is reasonably safe to assume that everyone else could possess this knowledge as well.

Vehement anti-Trump group donated $85k to Atlanta election judges, now auditors want some repaid
[Just The News] A liberal
communist front
nonprofit that accused President Donald Trump of unleashing a "surge in white supremacy and hate" donated $85,000 last fall to election administrators in Georgia's largest county as part of a campaign to turn out black votes in the 2020 election. Auditors now want some of that money returned.

The Fulton County Auditor declared this month that county election officials failed to spend all of the Southern Poverty Law Center's grant for buying absentee ballot drop boxes and did not comply with one of the grant's primary requirements to publicly disclose how many ballots were collected in the boxes.

"The grant specified that any unused funds were to be returned to the SPLC by December 31, 2020. During our review, we identified that (21) ballot drop boxes were purchased on September 10, 2020 for a total cost of $40,614," the auditor reported. "We also noted that as of the date of our review, the remaining $44,386 had not been returned to the SPLC and the funds remain in the Registration and Election Department's budget."

Officials in the county elections office, which includes Atlanta and has suffered from documented mismanagement, told the auditors they were in touch with the county's grant division about returning money. But the report noted the deadline for doing so was already eight months past.

Oregon governor signs bill suspending math, reading proficiency requirements for HS graduates
[FoxNews] Gov. Kate Brown, the Oregon Democrat, signed a bill last month with little fanfare that drops the requirement that high school students prove proficiency in reading, writing or math, before graduation, a report said.

The Oregonian reported that the governor has seemed to avoid discussing Senate Bill 744. Her move to sign the bill was "not public until recently, because her office did not hold a signing ceremony or issue press release." The paper also pointed out that the bill was first signed on July 14 but not added into the state’s database until July 29 due to a glitch in the system.

Brown’s office did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News.

In June, state lawmakers voted to approve the bill that suspended the requirements for students for three years, KATU reported. Foundations for a Better Oregon said in a statement at the time that the bill is intended to "truly reflect what every student needs to thrive in the 21st century." Supporters of the bill insist that considering math and reading essential skills has been an unfair challenge for students who do not test well. The report said the requirement was first suspended at the start of the pandemic.

The KATU report pointed out that Republicans have come out against the bill and claim that it lowers "expectations for our kids." But there was some bipartisan support.

Charles Boyle, the deputy communications director from Brown’s office, told the paper in an email that staff from the governor’s office informed legislative staffers about the bill's signing on the day it was passed. He also said that the new standards for graduation will help benefit the state’s "Black, Latino, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color."

The paper reported that the bill could stay in effect for five years until new requirements.

It has been demonstrated that doing well on a general intelligence test correlates well with success on the job, no matter what the field. Not too surprising really. Unfortunately, this leads to the dreaded (*thunderclap*) DISPARATE OUTCOME (*reverb*). And there are Federal laws against that. Expensive ones.

You may think you are sorting by intelligence in order to find employees that will do well, but in the eyes of the Justice Department you are discriminating against people on the basis of race.

"The snuffies attempted to infiltrate the town with an unconfirmed number of foot soldiers and some mounted on cycle of violences," Onyema Nwachukwu said in a statement.

He said troops of the 25 Task Force Brigade in Borno unleashed heavy fire, exacting "debilitating gunshot wounds" on the holy warriors and forced them to "beat a retreat in disarray."

Two vehicles belonging to the government-backed Civilian Joint Task Force were razed by fire in the encounter with Boko Haram bully boys, Nwachukwu said.

Boko Haram has been trying to establish an Islamist state in northeastern Nigeria since 2009. The terror group has also extended its attacks to other countries in the Lake Chad Basin.

According to Rooters, a man that Ruth had been forced to marry during her captivity surrendered himself to the military, freeing her in the process.

All Africa reported that Ruth was accompanied by her two children whom she bore during the 7-year period.

Ruth’s freedom means that there may be hope for the 100+ other girls who are still in captivity, whose families continue to pray to see their children once again.

Over the course of the past several years, some of the girls have managed to escape and explain what life was like in Boko Haram captivity. Rape was a regular part of the girls’ lives. They have also been witnesses to murders and at times been forced to commit murder themselves. Over half of the girls kidnapped were Christian and some of the girls that have been released report that Christians were treated especially harsh.

U.S. Democrats release 3.5-trln-USD spending plan
[XINHUANET] U.S. Democrats on Monday released the text of a 3.5-trillion-U.S.-dollar budget plan, which aims to enact most of President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier...
's social-spending agenda without Republican support, focusing on childcare, education, health care and climate policy.

In a letter earlier in the day, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 45.67754 years, or 319.74278 years in dog years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
told Democrats that the goal is for congressional committees to write legislation by Sept. 15, before the House returns from its August recess.

With the Senate split 50-50, Democrats must keep moderates -- who could oppose elements of the agenda -- on their side, and approve the massive spending bill using a process known as budget reconciliation.

The move came as the Senate is close to passing a roughly 1-trillion-dollar bipartisan infrastructure bill, after the upper chamber voted to clear a key procedural hurdle to advance the bill over the weekend.

The White House and a bipartisan group of senators reached an agreement on the infrastructure bill after months of negotiations, which includes 550 billion dollars in new spending on infrastructure projects.

Along with the infrastructure negotiations, Schumer and other Democratic leaders have been seeking to advance the 3.5-trillion-dollar spending plan in a separate bill without Republican support, calling it the "two-track strategy."

#5  Senate Republicans are sounding the alarm over an amnesty provision slipped into Senate Democrats’ $3.5 trillion budget resolution framework that they are seeking to shove through Congress via the filibuster-proof reconciliation process.

On Monday, Senate Democrats unveiled their budget framework that includes spending $107 billion in American taxpayer money to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.

The language of the framework is vague, asking the Judiciary Committee members to give “lawful permanent status to qualified immigrants.” Those who would qualify remains unclear, though Democrats have said in the past they want upwards of eight to 10 million illegal aliens given amnesty.

Libya's Interior Ministry Denies Reports of Armed Attack Near Sirte
[LIBYAREVIEW] On Sunday, the Ministry of Interior of the Interim Government of National Unity (GNU) denied reports of an alleged attack on one of its own units at Sirte’s Gate 30 by an gang.

In a statement, the Ministry said that, "some social media pages and news channels reported that the Gate 30, located West of Sirte, was attacked by an gang that expelled the police forces stationed there and seized their vehicles."

However,
a lie repeated often enough remains a lie...
the Security Arrangements Committee of the Interior Ministry, emanating from the 5 + 5 Joint Military Commission (JMC), confirmed that such reports are untrue and baseless.

It noted that all security patrols on the coastal road are working properly, and the traffic on the road is regular.

The Ministry called on citizens not to be drawn into misleading news and malicious rumors that only aim to create a state of insecurity in the country.

Notably, Operation Volcano of Rage of the Libyan Army, based in Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
, on its Facebook account claimed that the 604th Brigade of the Libyan Arab Armed Forces was stationed in the vicinity of Gate 30 area hours ago. This was after they expelled the security forces of the Ministry of Interior and seized their vehicles.

Sergei Kovalyov dies at 91
Some excerpts translated via Google Translate.
[TheGuardian] An individual tagged as a human rights activist, Kovalyov is widely reviled by Russian military as a murderer and terrorist enabler, for his role in the murder of several Russian soldiers held in captivity in Grozny, Chechnya, in early 1995.

According to Wikipedia:

Sergei Kovalyov was accused by Russian General Gennady Troshev, that during the Battle of Grozny, Kovalyov offered Russian soldiers to surrender. He promised that their life, health and honor would be preserved. But most of those who gave up were killed.

Russian nationalist Alexander Prokhanov in his Zavtra newspaper also accused Kovalyov in mistreatment of Yevgeny Rodionov's mother, Lyubov Vasilievna.

According to Prokhanov, she asked for Kovalyov's help in finding her kidnapped and later killed son in 1996, but he roared in response: "Why did you come to me? You raised the murderer".

From the memoirs of Russian General Gennady Troshev:

In the battles for Grozny, the first prisoners appeared, around whom they turned battles involving Moscow politicians, human rights activists and journalists.

The then Commissioner for Rights played a particularly bad role in this person in the Russian Federation called S. Kovalev, who openly called on our soldiers to surrender in captivity under his mighty guarantees of liberation. And about what awaits them in captivity of "good" Chechens, they did not think too much. I will quote here the words of the captain Sergei N., who languished for eight months in a pit near Shali:

"I asked God for one thing - die faster ...

On beatings, sadistic torture, public executions and other "charms" of the Chechen captivity can be said for a long to him, the reader will not be surprised. But now the chopping off of heads, the removal of skin and scalps from living soldiers, crucified bodies in the windows of houses, the federal troops for the first time collided in Grozny."

Seven Albanian criminals plead guilty to drug charges
Direct translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] On August 9, the Albanian prosecutor's office reported that a group of seven prisoners involved in drug trafficking pleaded guilty and cooperated with the investigation after seeing the evidence collected against them.

According to the Albanian news agency Telegrafi, one man was sentenced to five years in prison, another two to three and a half years, and four to three years in prison.

Earlier, seven more members of the same group did the same. The drug dealers were arrested at the end of March 2021 during Operation Mountain. The police called the operation unsuccessful, since the leaders of the group managed to stay free.

That's entirely possible - on the other hand, there's a report this morning over at www.hotair.com (usually pretty reliable) that Cuomo offered a deal - he'd promise not to run for re-election (a double-pinky swear; I'm sure) if the Legislature would agree not to impeach him.

He's thinking he can hold on to this somehow. My call - and this is IMHO, YMMV, of course - is that if he's still there by the end of the week, he ain't going.

Afghanistan
Taliban capture sixth Afghan provincial capital, Aibak
[Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
Press TV] The Talibs have captured Aibak, the sixth Afghan picturesque provincial capital, the deputy governor of the province says, as the gunnies press on with their northern offensive following the weekend’s rapid advances.

The gunnies on Monday stormed Aibak, the capital city of the north-central province of Samangan, without a battle after community elders pleaded with officials to spare the city from further violence following weeks of festivities on its outskirts, said Sefatullah Samangani, the deputy governor of the province.

"The governor accepted and withdrew all the forces from the city," he noted, adding that the Talibs were now in "full control" of Aibak.

Separately, AFP cited an unnamed Taliban
...Arabic for students...
front man as confirming that the city has been taken by the bully boy group.

Earlier, Talibs had overrun five picturesque provincial capitals across the north, sparking fears the central government in Kabul is quickly losing control of the region.

The latest city to fall was Taloqan, the capital of the northern province of Takhar, which was overrun by the marauding gunnies Sunday afternoon. It became the third major provincial center to fall to the Taliban in one day, according to local reports.

The gunnies have also captured Zaranj, the capital of Nimroz province, in the southwest.

After seizing Sheberghan to its west, and Kunduz and Taloqan to its east, Talibs said earlier on Monday that they were launching an offensive on Mazar-e-Sharif, the largest city in the north that plays a vital role for the government to maintain assert control over the region.

However,
we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by...
residents of the city contested claims by Taliban, saying the group is exaggerating, with festivities confined to surrounding districts.

"The enemy is trying to distort public opinion and create anxiety for the civilian population by their propaganda," said a statement, quoted by AFP, from the provincial police force in Balkh province, where Mazar-e-Sharif is the capital.

Atta Mohammad Noor, the city’s longtime strongman, vowed to fight against the Taliban to the end, saying there would be "resistance until the last drop of my blood."

"I prefer dying in dignity than dying in despair," he tweeted.

Adds Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
Fighting continues in Herat, Lashkargah and Kandahar. Today the assault on the provincial capital Baghlan began, where the army and the militias are still confidently holding the defenses ..

Also, the Taliban came to the close approaches to Mazar-i-Sharif. The fall of another 5-6 provincial centers in the coming week could accelerate the fall of the Ghani government and the collapse of the existing political regime in Afghanistan.

'Incoherence' of Biden border crisis strategy may lead to Democrat election losses: Washington Post
[FOXNEWS] The Washington Post criticized the 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...
's handling of the southern border crisis Sunday and pushed for a coherent strategy to deal with the record number of migrants colonists trying to enter the U.S. illegally.

In an editorial, the Post predicted the "incoherence" of the Biden administration's policies could lead to Democrats losing control of the House and Senate in the 2022 midterm elections, and there was likely nothing in its current strategy that would change that outcome.

"In its apparent desperation to fashion an immigration strategy that will impose order on increasingly out-of-control migration, the Biden administration has unleashed a torrent of words and goals untethered to specific policies and timetables," the Post wrote. "Officials have effectively reversed and rolled back some of the Trump administration’s most pernicious policies, but without a clear road map to address the immediate crisis — a decades-high surge in illegal border-crossing — or the long-term challenge driving migration: dysfunction, disorder and decay in Central America."

The Post noted that Vice President Kámala Harris
Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California, and then a former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful. 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 an outstanding exemplar of the Peter Principle, proudly displaying her level of competence in her handling of the Biden Border Surge
laid out a longterm strategy to address the factors in Central America currently driving illegal immigration, but that it was missing an actual plan for action. It added her "convoluted messaging" telling migrants colonists not to attempt the journey to the U.S., while also scrapping or relaxing measures to dissuade the journey, had been a "failure."

"That failure is measurable, and it is politically toxic," the Post wrote before detailing the "staggering" number of apprehensions seen at the border this year.

In June, a record monthly high of nearly 190,000 migrants colonists were detained by border officials, despite the usual deterrence of the summer heat. According to reports, another record of 210,000 was set in July, although those numbers have not yet been released. A total of 1.1 million migrants colonists have been detained since the beginning of the fiscal year.

Digging a little deeper in the Ben & Jerry’s announcement. Back on July 19, 2021, B&J's only stated that it would no longer sell its ice cream in Palestinian territories occupied by Israel.

Note: Its an area too much like a War Zone.
Note: We tried B&J's Ice cream some years ago and did not care for the taste.


----------------------------

However, the Council on American–Islamic Relations
aka C.A.I.R. being a Anti-Israeli Islamic Special Interest Group. Jumps on any Media Bandwagon opportunity to rake in some attention and promote its agenda.

So to give CAIR what it wants, here is some deeper insight of this Antisemitic group.

1st using their own Web site.

2020-Biden Agenda

2nd A well known website that collects investigative info on CAIR.
www.anti-cair-net-DOT-org, where investigative documents tie CAIR to Islamic Terrorist Groups and puts on display their Leaders own words over the last 20+ years.

eg. "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant," and, "The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." Made by Council on American-Islamic Relations is an extremist organization – founder Omar Ahmad back in 1998


NOTE: Ahmad served as president of CAIR's parent group, the now-defunct Islamic Association for Palestine, or IAP, which was founded in 1981 by Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook and former university professor Sami al-Arian, who pleaded guilty in 2006 to conspiracy to provide services to Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The U.S. deported Marzook to Jordan in 1997.

Summary:
In my opinion, CAIR's Agenda is that the USA should do things their way and conform only to their Islamic Religion.

Africa North
Libyan Army Official: We Will Not Allow Any Foreign Forces to Remain in Our Country
[LIBYAREVIEW] A member of Libya’s 5 + 5 Joint Military Commission (JMC), and Military Prosecutor, Major General Faraj al-Sousa called on the government to cancel all agreements with all foreign states, "if it is truly a Government of National Unity (GNU)."Al-Sousa claimed that the JMC’s mission is to insist on implementing the outputs of two Berlin Conference’s, including the withdrawal of all foreign forces from the country, after securing the reopening of the Coastal Road. He stated that they would demand that the United Nations
...boodling on the grand scale...
hold a meeting in Geneva to meet the sponsoring countries of the Berlin I-II agreements, and ensure the withdrawal of all imported muscle and mercenaries from the country, without any preconditions.

Ottoman Turkish Defence Minister, Hulusi Akar’s recent statement, in which he claimed that Ottoman Turkish forces were not unwanted foreign troops in Libya, were completely rejected by al-Sousa. He added that the agreement that was made with the Government of National Accord (GNA) is not approved by Parliament, and is not supported by the Libyan people.

"We are determined to liberate Libya and return its freedom and independence without any foreigners in its lands. We will not allow any foreigner to enter its lands, even international observers. Our condition to the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) is that they be retired soldiers and without weapons. We will not accept any armed foreigners in our country," he stated.

In reference to the recently reopened Coastal Road, he stated that the situation was normal, and merchants and travellers were using the road without any obstacles. He said that the JMC may hold a meeting soon to discuss unifying the military institution.

Al-Sousa pointed out that the JMC is backed by the United Nations and the Security Council, in support of the Berlin Conference outcomes, to ensure the exit of all foreign forces from Libya, "even if this leads to engaging with them in a military confrontation to expel them from the country."

He noted that the instructions of the LNA Commander-in-Chief, Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar
...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all. Actually, he is, but slowly...
are to "constantly follow up and relieve the suffering of citizens and not to violate agreements." He added that media channels that are politically affiliated with militias, or those that support the Moslem Brüderbund are trying to disrupt the work of the JMC.

Home Front: Politix
Senators Launch Effort to Expand Federal Bench by 77 Judges
[BREITBART] Sens. Todd Young (R-IN) and Chris Coons
...Dem Junior Senator from Delaware since 2010. He won a special election to succeed Ted Kaufman, who had been appointed to the seat when Joe Biden resigned to become Vice President. Previously, Coons was the county executive of New Castle County. Raised in Hockessin, Delaware, Coons was a frat boy at the Amherst College liberal mill. He received graduate degrees from Yale Divinity School and Yale Law School....
(D-DE) introduced a bill last month that would expand the federal judiciary by 77 judges, starting in 2025, after the current presidential term.
Democrats have been expressing a wish to expand the number of Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
justices, so that President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass....
can appoint four new justices to override the current 6-3 majority of Republican appointees. Some have advocated a milder approach, expanding the lower courts first.

The new bill, called the Judicial Understaffing Delays Getting Emergencies Solved (JUDGES) Act, says that "The Judicial Conference of the United States requested the creation of 77 new district judges in its 2021 report," and that "As of March 31, 2021, there were 696,789 pending cases, averaging 803 filings per judgeship." The Coons-Young legislation provides for 39 new judgeships to be created after Jan. 21, 2025, and 38 new judgeships after Jan. 21, 2029.

Last year, during the presidential campaign, Biden dodged the question of whether he would endorse Democrats’ calls to pack the Supreme Court, finally announcing that he would appoint a commission of "scholars" to consider the issue. But Democrats jumped the gun, unveiling legislation in both the House and the Senate in April to expand the number of Supreme Court justices from nine to thirteen.

The federal judiciary expanded by 30 percent under President Jimmy Malaise Carter
...peanut farming former nuclear sub officer, who succeeded Gerald Ford as president. Carter perfected the approach later used by Joe Biden to get elected, presenting himself as a moderate whose Zero-based Budgeting was going to so away with the federal deficif. Once in the hands George McGovern's rejects, who were ever so much more virtuous than the rest of us, the nation immediately spun into a Malaise®. By the time Jimmeh, as he was contemptuously referred to, was running against Ronald Reagan, the liberal columnists were pronouncing the nation's problems as too severe to be solved by anyone; they were simply unsolvable, or maybe insoluble. That was why Reagan was such a flop. After Obama, Jimmeh's's only the second worst president ever, and by the time Biden's done maybe the third. Depending on how many Dems we elect in coming years, he may even end up looking competent...
, who filled the resultant vacancies with liberal-minded justices. A smaller expansion took place in 1990, under President George H.W. Bush.

Left-wing judicial activists are describing judicial expansion as an urgent priority.

Afghanistan
US presence in Afghanistan caused 'immense suffering' to civilians: Karzai
[Iran Press TV] Afghanistan's former President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai
...One of the more egregious mistakes of the post 9-11 era...
says the US military presence in the country on the pretext of fighting terrorism has caused "immense suffering" to the civilians and the country's infrastructure."US military activity in Afghanistan in the name of fighting the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
was causing immense suffering to the Afghan civilians and Afghan people. Children were getting hurt, women were getting hurt, families were getting hurt, homes were bombed, villages were bombed," Karzai said in an exclusive interview with Press TV on Sunday.

"US [presence] in Afghanistan was not for peace and also probably not for improved relations between us and Pakistain," he added.

The former Afghan president also touched on the issue of intra-Afghan talks and their failure to bring peace to the country, saying he gave his full backing to the US initiative but such a process failed to yield the desired results and that "the prolongation of the talks has caused even more suffering, more conflicts."

Pointing to a call by Afghanistan's Caped President Ashraf Ghani
...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money...
to form a united and national front against the Taliban, Karzai expressed his opposition to conflict and urged both sides to stop fighting.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Karzai defended calling the Taliban "brothers" despite the group never welcoming his peace proposal.

"I would be calling specially and in particular on the Taliban to stop attacking their own country, their own villages, their own homes. I would be strongly calling on the Taliban to stop this war of foreign interests in Afghanistan," Karzai underlined.

He warned that attacks by the Taliban serve the interests of foreign powers and could lead to internal uprising against the bad boy group itself.

"If they don't stop and continue to attack Afghan homes and villages and attack Afghan dignity, there would be an uprising against them as it has already happened. And I as a citizen of Afghanistan will be with that uprising and in support of that uprising."

#4  Somehow, FDA approval seems important

Otherwise its experimental. Atomic soldiers, agent orange, practices in the 50s-60s, a long road to law banning using military as experimental animals. Then there is the Nuremberg Code. Senior officials directing in contravention of the law have no defense, outside of "one set of rules for me another set of rules for thee". The question then is - Did the FDA follow its own protocols in the approval process or has it been compromised for this and similar purposes.

Government Corruption
Newsom Recall: All California Voters Can Download Ballots in the 'Comfort of Their Own Home'
[TRENDINGPOLITICS] Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,’s recall election may be an exercise in futility unless voters put in safeguards to stop a downloadable ballot system from leading to ballot harvesting in order to keep unpopular Governor Gavin can't be Bee'd Newsom
...the Mitt Romneyesque mayor of San Francisco as it transformed itself into Poopville, currently governor of California as it transforms itself into Cinderland...
in office.

The "Remote Accessible Ballots for Eligible Voters" is being touted by California Secretary of State Shirley Weber as a way for voters to download ballots in the "comfort of their own home."
...and as many times as they like...
"For the November 3, 2020 General Election, any voter can request to use Remote Accessible Vote by Mail," the Secretary of State’s website states.

"A Remote Accessible Vote by Mail (RAVBM) system allows voters to mark their selections using their own compatible technology to vote independently and privately in the comfort of their own home. To use a RAVBM system, a voter must:
  • Download the application

  • Mark their selections

  • Print their selections

  • Sign the envelope (using the envelope provided with the vote-by-mail ballot or the voter’s own envelope)

  • Return the printed and signed selections either by mail or by dropping it off at a voting location. The selections cannot be returned electronically.
So if the whole thing's done on a printer, there's no way to tell the ballot box has been stuffed...
The Orange County vote website explains the process for California voters.

"The Remote Accessible Vote-By-Mail ballot provides voters with disabilities and overseas voters the option to request a Vote-By-Mail ballot to be delivered electronically," the website states. "This will also be available to all voters for the September 14, 2021 California Gubernatorial Recall Election beginning on August 16, 2021. The electronic ballot can be downloaded to the voter’s computer, marked using the voter’s own assistive technology and then printed."

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Lebanon's Amal Movement applauds Hezbollah rocket fire
[Iran Press TV] Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady human sacrifice days of Baal Moloch. In 2020 Hezbollahblew up a considerable portion of Beirut and many of its inhabitants when its ammonium nitrate faci8lity exploded. They blamed it on... somebody else. It wasn't them though. Trust them on that...
’s Amal Movement has hailed Hezbollah after the resistance movement retaliated Israeli shelling and Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s on southern Lebanon with a rocket barrage, emphasizing that the only way to confront the Tel Aviv regime is resistance and adherence to rules of deterrence.

"Confronting the Zionist enemy and preventing it from targeting our land, sea and air is a sacred right," the movement said in a statement released on Monday.

It added, "Victory over Israel can only be achieved through resistance, and establishment of the rules of deterrence and engagement with the enemy."

Hezbollah announced in a statement that its units hit "open fields" near Israeli positions at 11:15 a.m. local time (0815 GMT) on Friday, using "dozens" of 122mm caliber rockets.

Al-Mayadeen television news network said at least 20 rockets were fired at Israel's military positions. al-Minar TV said a number of the rockets targeted the Douf military base.

Israeli media said residents of settlements in the north of the occupied territories had been asked to stay in homes.

Following the retaliatory rocket attack, Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett and the regime’s minister of military affairs Benny Gantz held an emergency session amid reports of a massive number of sorties conducted by Israeli warplanes over southern Lebanon.

Iraqi anti-terror Kata'ib Hezbollah and al-Nujaba resistance groups, which are part of Hashd al-Sha’abi, reaffirmed their support for Hezbollah, and declared their readiness to stand by it in any case of a possible confrontation with the occupying Israeli regime.

Kata'ib Hezbollah congratulated the Lebanese resistance movement on its "firm response to the recent Zionist regime’s attacks, as well as its violation of international resolutions and Lebanese illusory sovereignty by targeting areas in the southern part of the country."

Hezbollah has proven that it is "fully prepared to confront any adventurism that the Zionist enemy might get involved in," it said, praising "the steadfastness of Lebanese nation in the face of attempts by the Zionist-US-Saudi coalition to drag Lebanon into malicious chaos and vanquish resistance forces."
