As of 8:44 a.m., six victims were known.
The operational command "South" reported on the advance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson region .
"Our aviation carried out four strikes against the enemy using attack aircraft, bombers and helicopters. Four enemy strongholds in the Andriivka, Biloghirka and Blagodatny areas were hit," the message reads.
As noted in the OC, Andriivka was released and finally cleared of the Russian occupation forces.
"Just like Lozovo, where our troops had reliably secured their positions a few days earlier!" - added the military.
On the night of July 27, the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck another blow on the Antonivsky Bridge in occupied Kherson.
Natalia Gumenyuk, head of the press center of the security and defense forces of the "South" operational command, emphasized that the Armed Forces of Ukraine keep under fire control strategically important transport routes that are of critical importance to the enemy.
Russia hit Marhanets, Kharkiv and Mykolaiv, in Luhansk region the Armed Forces stopped the offensive in six areas . The enemy does not stop the missile terror, it is said in the morning summary of the regional military administrations.
The night was relatively calm in Volyn, Transcarpathia, Rivne Oblast, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, Chernivtsi, Vinnytsia, Zaporizhia, Odesa, Kirovohrad, Khmelnytskyi, Ternopil Oblasts, Cherkasy Oblast, Vinnytsia Oblast, Poltava Oblast, Chernihiv Oblast, Zhytomyr Oblast and Kyiv Oblast.
Russian troops have occupied marginal areas northeast of Bakhmut and are continuing fighting to the east and south of the city, according to a report by the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
The occupiers launched a limited attack northwest of Izyum, probably to secure Russian rear lines on the Izyum-Slovyansk line, as well as southwest of Donetsk, near the border with the Zaporizhia region.
Yesterday, American analysts reported that, most likely, the Russian army will not develop the capture of Novolugansky into a successful offensive on Bakhmut .
Information from Lb sources has been confirmed: Iryna Venediktova's successor may be People's Deputy from "Servant of the People" Andriy Kostin. President Volodymyr Zelenskyi submitted to the parliament a proposal to appoint Kostin as the Prosecutor General of Ukraine.
The parliament should consider the issue of appointment at the next meeting. If the People's Deputies approve Kostin's candidacy, the President will sign the corresponding decree.
Kostin currently heads the legal committee of the parliament. A native of Odessa.
The most complete picture of today will definitely be on our website.

HR2814 (Repeal of PLCAA) Pulled As Well. This bill would have removed the libel protection gun manufacturers have to keep from getting sued if someone used their products for evil.
Donetsk militia troops have begun an advance in the direction of Peski and Krasnogorovka.
According to posts featured in V Kontakte and Russkaya Vesna, it appears, according to descriptions, that massive Russian preparatory artillery fire was used in advance of the attack.
Peski, along with Avdievka and Opytnoye long have been a prize for the separatists. Much of the artillery attacks experienced over the last eight years in Donetsk city have come from those three locales.
Offensives then begun just before the much more successful Debaltsevo defensive operation in 2015, failed owing to the fierce resistant offered. That resistance has been costly for the separatists.
Yesterday’s had a knife, today’s knife was wholly imaginary — but the soldiers couldn’t know that until after.
[IsraelTimes] Unarmed suspect approached security forces’ post, failed to heed warnings to stop, military says
An unarmed Paleostinian man who approached a military post near the West Bank city of Nablus and did not heed calls to stop was shot and injured late Tuesday night, the Israeli army said.
The individual was taken to hospital for treatment, the military said, and an investigation into the incident was underway.
The military said security forces called to the man to stop his advance toward their location and fired warning shots into the air. When he failed to heed their warnings, he was shot.
According to Hebrew-language media reports, the man was hit in the lower extremities and was taken to the Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva (also known as Beilinson Hospital) in moderate condition.
Citing Paleostinian sources, Ynet reported that the man may be mentally unwell.
[FOX] Former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker criticized the FBI and the DOJ on "Fox & Friends First" Wednesday, pointing out the organizations' noticeably "partisan tint" on the Hunter Biden investigation. Whitaker said the departments should be "above politics" and their existing biases pose a threat to the "rule of law."
GRASSLEY PRESSES DOJ, FBI FOR TRANSPARENCY ON ’PARTISAN’ POLITICIZATION OF AGENCIES, HUNTER BIDEN PROBE
MATTHEW WHITAKER: I've said several times that Chris Wray needs to get this partisan nature and any political bias out of the FBI. In this example, this FBI agent that Chuck Grassley is asking questions about had very derogatory social media postings, which it makes no sense why an FBI agent would be on social media doing politics, but was and so these are the kind of things that raise questions. I think Chuck Grassley is absolutely right, and my point as well is that the FBI and the Department of Justice need to be above politics. Right now, especially this Jan. 6th investigation, and the Biden investigation, appear to have a partisan tint to it, and it's not good for the rule of law and the long-term success of the Department of Justice.

Oh please, that would require the DOJ and the FBI to actually DO THEIR JOBS, which we all know ain't gonna happen. Maybe if the FBI is secretly dumped in Gitmo and replaced by a combination of Texas Rangers and real policeman, the group of US Marshals who actually get crap done, we'd see it.
[IsraelTimes] Prosecutors accuse Bilal Sub Laban of working to strengthen the terror group’s influence in capital.
A Paleostinian man was indicted on Monday for allegedly establishing a kindergarten and a soup kitchen on orders from Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,, in order to strengthen the terror group’s influence in East Jerusalem, the Justice Ministry said.
According to the indictment, Bilal Sub Laban, from the East Jerusalem neighborhood Kafr Aqab, met in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... in March with a Hamas operative who instructed him to "advance Hamas activity" in the city.
He was instructed to establish a kindergarten, a soup kitchen, and a nonprofit organization used to embezzle funds for the terror group, recruit members and hand out Paleostinian flags, the indictment said.
Laban also met with Ottoman Turkish tourists on the Temple Mount in June and collected money from them for Hamas, according to the indictment.
Laban was arrested on June 28, and some $13,000 was seized. He is charged with membership in a terror organization, using funds for terror, and obstruction of justice.
Laban’s contact in Turkey, Fahad Shlodi, was deported to Turkey as a condition of his release as part of the Gilad Shalit prisoner swap deal in 2011. He had been serving two life sentences in an Israeli prison for murder and attempted murder.
As part of his activities, Laban also collected a list of Hamas sympathizers in Jerusalem and brought them to Shlodi during a second visit to Turkey.
According to the indictment, Laban told his contact during the trip that he was "not interested in assisting military activities" of the terror group, and instead contributed by collecting funds and recruitment.
Police revealed on Monday that a total of nine East Jerusalem suspects were arrested in recent weeks over Hamas affiliation and attempts to recruit new members.
In March, four residents of East Jerusalem were also indicted over alleged ties to Hamas and meeting with officials of the group in Turkey, with police prosecutors charging some with having planned terrorist attacks.
[Rudaw] Iraq's Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said on Tuesday that he will call on the United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... Security Council members in the coming hours to help Baghdad expel Ottoman Turkish and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) forces from Iraq.
That’s sure to work.
The UN Security Council is expected to discuss Iraq’s situation later tonight, especially the artillery strike, blamed on The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... , which killed nine Iraqi vacationers and injured 31 others in Duhok province's Parakh village on Wednesday. Hussein has arrived in New York to attend the meeting and provide a detailed report on the deadly shelling.
"We are trying to persuade the members of the Security Council to expel Ottoman Turkish forces from Iraqi territory," Hussein was quoted by Iraqi state media as saying. The minister added that he will also request from the Council to "pass a resolution to help Iraq expel the PKK."
"It is our duty to work with the concerned countries to expel the PKK from Iraq."
Turkey has denied killing the nine civilians, with Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important... claiming on Monday that the attack was carried out by the PKK to harm Ankara-Baghdad relations. The Kurdish rebels have denied any involvement in the attack, claiming that its forces were not even present in the area when the incident took place. Hussein confirmed to Rudaw on Saturday that the PKK fighters were not present during the shelling.
Hussein also told the Iraqi state media that Turkey’s insistence that it did not kill the Iraqi holidaymakers "does not help as we have information confirming that it carried out the attack."
Turkey has over 4,000 soldiers as well as 100 military bases in Iraq, according to the Iraqi minister.
Turkey often targets the PKK at home and inside the Kurdistan Region, considering it a "terrorist’ organziation. The group’s stated goal is to struggle for the increased rights of Kurds in Turkey.
The PKK entered the rugged areas of what is now the Kurdistan Region in the eighties following a deal with Peshmerga forces who were revolting against Iraqi former regimes. The Region's authorities have in recent years called on the group to withdraw forces but the rebels have repeatedly refused to leave, claiming that they own the Region as well.

[AnNahar] Morocco's navy intercepted more than 350 illegal migrants colonists, including four children, in waters off its coast, a military official said on Tuesday.
The 359 people rescued between Saturday and Monday had been "aboard makeshift boats, kayaks or swimming" in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, the unnamed official said, quoted by MAP news agency.
Mainly from sub-Saharan Africa, the migrants colonists, who also included 10 women, received first aid aboard navy vessels before being transported to the nearest Moroccan ports, according to the same source.
On Monday, the Moroccan authorities said the bodies of eight migrants colonists were recovered off the southern shores of the North African kingdom.
Morocco is a key transit point on routes taken by migrants colonists seeking better lives in Europe.
The Caminando Fronteras charity says almost 1,000 migrants colonists died or were reported missing at sea in the first half of the year as they tried to reach Spain.
[Rudaw] One Ottoman Turkish soldier and four Ankara-affiliated Kurdish village guards were killed by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in the Kurdistan Region’s bordering areas on Monday, according to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... ’s defence ministry.
The ministry said in a statement on Monday that the PKK killed a soldier without mentioning where he was killed. However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... state media reported that he was killed in the framework of Turkey’s Operation Claw-Thunderbolt earlier in the day. The ministry later said in a separate statement that four village guards affiliated to the interior ministry were also killed by the group in the same area.
Operation Claw-Thunderbolt along with Operation Claw-Lightning was launched against the PKK in Turkey’s bordering areas with the Kurdistan Region in April 2021.
PKK grabbed credit for the death of the soldier and guards on Tuesday.
Turkey often targets the PKK at home and inside the Kurdistan Region, considering it a "terrorist’ organziation. The group’s stated goal is to struggle for the increased rights of Kurds in Turkey.
Suleyman Soylu, Ottoman Turkish interior minister, visited the family of one of the Kurdish village guards who were killed in the Monday attack.
The Ottoman Turkish government has been employing village guards in Kurdish areas since the 1980s, using them in the fight against the PKK, mostly inside Turkey.
Soylu said in 2019 that they had a total of 54,007 village guards in 26 provinces.

In formulating public policy for civilian law enforcement, a key component to establish an acceptable level of public safety and peaceful commerce is the concept of deterrence. Essentially is it the certain belief held by the criminal classes that arrest and prosecution have a high probability of success against their considered criminal act. Further, that incarceration, both long and certain, while humane, is essentially discomforting and highly restrictive of the routine comforts and pursuits of ordinary life. The entire effectiveness of the "broken window" concept is that the visible, rigorous and consistent enforcement of lesser property crimes gives proof to the determination of the police and criminal justice system.
The public invalidation of every aspect of the above, visible routinely, by the leftist political classes in our urban core cities is creating the rapidly evaporating public confidence in the rule of law. What will follow is vigilante justice (law enforcement undertaken without legal authority by a self-appointed group of people), militia formation and tribal balkanization of communities across America. Nations do not survive this devolution of civilzation for long. We allow this to proceed much further at our peril as a free people!

How 'bout... all cops declare they're gây or lèsbian, and carry lead weighted dildōs. Then proceed to do the cop thing, with some jive hands thrown in and effete dialogue. Like 'sweetie you are going to jail, and I am gonna make yoo like it!'
And lipstick. That'd work good.

If Xi ordered it, I bet the rest of the communist party senior officials would have him arrested pretty quick. They know China is very vulnerable to a blockade and if one was put in place for oil and food, 3 months later most cars stop, 5 months later most power plants go offline and one year later 500 million Chinese are dead from starvation.

You guys give China too much credit, I'm afraid. The truth is they're like neurotic pomeranians inside, while doing the puffer fish routine outside. If they see a USAF fighter or even damn corvette anywhere near the South China sea, their committee pees its pants collectively. It happened in Trump's time, you could practically smell their fear all the way from Colombo back to New Delhi and all up to the Koreas. Not just the snips in the int chatter but even their diplomacy changes. Like, 'oh oh oh we all gotta stick together, we're both the oldest joss stick burning civilizations, oh oh oh the eastern hemisphere is under assault!' And all because if some ships and choppers buzzing around. Sheesh.

Don't fear the autocucumber, Dron!
Do we know why Pelosi is traveling in the first place? Seems a bit strange to go off on her own and not as part of some congressional delegation of useless wankers.
Speculation: One of the problems for Team Brandon is presidential succession if Joe goes away.
Vice Prez Kamala - a loose (heh) cannon
Speaker of the House Nancy - likely to go all Red Queen
Prez pro tem of the Senate Patrick Leahy - possible?
Sec of State Antony Blinken - another possible
Getting the first couple names off the list would make the situation more manageable.
Attorney General Merrick Garland did not rule out prosecuting former President Donald Trump for his role in January 6 in a new interview with NBC's Lester Holt
'We intend to hold everyone, anyone who was criminally responsible for the events surrounding January 6 ... accountable,' Garland said
Holt pointed out to Garland that prosecuting a former president or a potential presidential candidate could 'arguably tear the country apart'
'Do you have to think of things like that?' the NBC Nightly News anchor asked Garland
Garland spoke in vague terms, saying, 'Look, we pursue justice without fear or favor' That sounds more like red meat for the rubes than an actual plan for action.

[FOX] Members of Congress are now deciding how to vote on one of the most consequential pieces of national-security legislation in recent history: the "CHIPS" Act, dedicated to increasing U.S. domestic manufacturing of semiconductors.
I urge them to support it. Failure to do so would be an enormous victory for the Chinese Communist Party and a massive loss of American workers and American servicemen who should not be forced to rely upon Chinese technology to protect us and them.
Semiconductors are key to the United States maintaining its technological edge now and for decades to come. The strategic landscape in this critical technology area has been shifting to our disadvantage for far too long. Less and less cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing in America and ever more semiconductor capacity inside China risks making the world subject to coercion by the Chinese Communist Party, especially given Beijing’s military threat to the democratic island of Taiwan. The CHIPS Act is our first major opportunity to reverse this dangerous strategic disadvantage and decouple this industry from China’s influence.
Beyond national security, semiconductors are found in electronics that every American uses in their daily lives, from cell phones to cars in addition to advanced military systems. Our dependence on hostile nations for these critical wafers will, much as dependence on Russian energy has done for Europe, risk catastrophic outcomes for all of us here in America.

When it comes to the military-technical equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, two points are very often singled out. The first is that the Ukrainian army fights mainly with modern Western weapons, which are supplied to it by the States, Germany, France or, at worst, Poland. The second is that military assistance from the “secondary”, primarily Eastern European states, began to arrive in full after the start of the NWO.
In reality, both theses are deeply erroneous. HIMARS, "Caesars" and other "wunderwaffes" still remain piece goods, which are not always allowed even by the Ukrainian military personnel themselves. Thus, American MLRS are controlled by American crews, while units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine act as a decoy, covering the work of HIMARS with volleys of Grads and Hurricanes.
The Ukrainian army itself is still fighting with Soviet weapons. That should be disposed of in an attempt to slow down the advance of the Russian Army. The fact that at the same time a certain part of the personnel is also being utilized is perceived absolutely calmly and is not considered a problem. In other words, let several tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers die rather than lose one HIMARS — this is what the philosophy of war looks like from the point of view of Western curators.
But for this mechanism to work, continuous military-technical replenishment is needed. The fact is that all these years, officials of the Kyiv regime and corrupt officials of the Armed Forces of Ukraine traded the contents of military warehouses too generously, and already in March, the Ukrainian command was able to observe in practice the consequences of continuous “cutting”.
As a result, after the start of the NWO, the former Warsaw Pact countries, some on their own initiative, others, in a directive manner, were indeed forced to send most of the Soviet equipment to Ukraine, which still remained in their own warehouses. Czech and Polish T-72s, BMP-1s, Grads (BM-21 rocket artillery vehicle) and 2S1 howitzers, Slovak Mi-17s and ammunition for MLRS - all this stuff very quickly ended up at the disposal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
But this does not mean that such “adjustments” did not exist before. No matter what Western propaganda says, in reality, the supply of weapons and military equipment to Ukraine did not stop for all eight years, during which Kyiv conducted a punitive operation in the Donbass and prepared for an invasion of Crimea. This process is confirmed by specific documents that were at our disposal. Graphics of all but two of the documents are in Russian at the link
So, in 2014-2015. Czech company Read Trade Praha tried to buy from Kazakhstan more than 100 D-30 howitzers, about 10,000 shells for T-62 tanks and about 20,000 shells for M-30 howitzers. This is not counting 30 million rounds of ammunition, incl. armor-piercing incendiary. Another Czech company - STV GROUP - in August 2021 was interested in purchasing 385 Soviet mortars of various modifications. M-30 is a WWII vintage 122mm field gun
Why the Czechs needed old Soviet weapons is a rhetorical question, given the degree of subjectivity of this state. All this stuff was intended for the Ukrainian army and was supposed to shoot at the Russians.
At the same time, of course, the Czech Republic was not the only country through which such purchases were made. For example, in 2018, the Slovak company ROBUS sro purchased from the Ministry of Defense of Kazakhstan and successfully delivered to their homeland more than 500 BMP-1 and BMP-2, and the Belarusian company Northrop acted as the carrier. At the same time, Grads were purchased from Kazarnauliexport.
Interestingly, the Slovaks immediately began to probe the possibility of re-export, offering Uganda as a front. It is known how "paper" re-export works. A fake "buyer" may not be in contact with the cargo, which will be instantly "resold" to the real beneficiary.
Another thing is that it was not possible to carry out Grads through the territory of the Russian Federation. A refusal came from the Russian customs, and this happened back in January, more than a month before the start of the NWO. Whether the company was able to find a workaround is impossible to say for sure, but it is known that its management is actively looking for workarounds.
In any case, after the start of the special operation, the interests of the company became much wider. Now the Slovaks were interested not only in armored vehicles, but also in aircraft parts. In May 2022, ROBUS sro took part in a closed tender for the sale of unused military equipment from Kazakh warehouses. After that, the company's management expressed a desire to purchase several armored personnel carriers, a Mi-24 helicopter and two aircraft engines - RD-33 and TV3-117MT.
At the same time, in May-June of this year, the southern direction also became more active. The Jordanian branch of the British company Blue Water Supplies Co. became interested in Soviet and Russian armored personnel carriers, and again from the warehouses of the Ministry of Defense of Kazakhstan. Ltd." The contractor was the Kazakh LLP Technoexport, which has a state license for the sale of military equipment and is authorized to trade on behalf of the state.
Interestingly, Blue Water Supplies Co. Ltd. "far more famous as a manufacturer of yachts than the seller of armored personnel carriers."
However, the Jordanian branch, having a contract with the national defense company "JODDB", is also engaged in the supply of spare parts, overalls, tools and first-aid kits for the Kingdom's Ministry of Defense. As for the interests of the company, they are represented in Jordan by Tashin Yasin, known for his close ties with the relatives of the wife of King Abdullah II. In total, Yasin's people expressed a desire to purchase 200 units of Russian BTR-82A armored personnel carriers, as well as a thousand ammunition for 120-mm mortars.
At the same time, the Turkish company Taha Savunma, which decided to purchase 50 Soviet armored personnel carriers BTR-70/BTR-80, appeared in similar interests in Kazakhstan. At the same time, in this case, the cars were supposed to eventually go to Azerbaijan.
All this is just the tip of the iceberg, a small part of the process in which a number of companies and states carry out a centralized purchase of Soviet and Russian military equipment for its further shipment to the war zone. But the fact that sooner or later we will find out the names of all those involved in arming the Nazi regime sitting in Kyiv is beyond doubt.

Ole Badanov flexes with the FSB directives on pr. This very day the Russians have changed from denying Kherson is in danger of being liberated from their evil to claiming Americans are doing the work for the Ukrainians.
You Russians just cannot admit you are getting your asses kicked by a much smaller nation of people who you can't even admit is a nation of separate people.

[Bee] President Joe Biden has just signed a bill into law prohibiting everyone in America from using the word "recession." The Economic Integrity Protection Act — also known as the "Don't Say Recession" bill — now threatens to punish any American with the full force of the law for simply uttering the word "recession."
"Come on folks, gotta stop saying 'recession.' It's a dirty word, sweetheart!" said Biden to an old White House intern he mistook for a young White House intern. "My grandmammy used to wash my mouth out with soap for using that word! Watch your mouth, Jack!"
"We tried changing the definition of recession, but if anything it just made people point out Biden's recession even more," said Treasury Secretary and inflation expert Janet Yellen. "Apparently when the price of everything is inflated which causes economic decline, reduced trade, and a fall in GDP for 2 consecutive quarters people start to notice. Weird." Yellen then went back to drafting a new plan to tax McDonald's Dollar Menu items.
According to sources, those who break the law and use the word "recession" will face up to 10 years in prison, which after inflation, amounts to 17 years.
At publishing time, the Biden administration confirmed the bill has a sunset clause that will take effect if a Republican is ever elected President.

KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — At least 15 people were killed and dozens of others injured during two days of demonstrations in Congo’s east against the United Nations mission in the country, officials said Tuesday.
The United Nations said one peacekeeper from Morocco and two international policemen from India serving with the U.N. peacekeeping force were slain and a policeman from Egypt was injured at the U.N. base in Butembo in North Kivu province when "violent attackers snatched weapons from Congolese police" and fired on U.N. personnel.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres strongly condemned the Butembo attack and violence targeting multiple U.N. bases across North Kivu since Monday, U.N. deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said.
Haq said that on Tuesday "hundreds of assailants" attacked bases of the U.N. force in Goma and other parts of North Kivu, "fueled by hostile remarks and threats made by individuals and groups against the U.N., particularly on social media.’"
"Mobs are throwing stones and petrol bombs, breaking into bases, looting and vandalizing, and setting facilities on fire," Haq said. "We are trying to calm things down" including by dispatching quick reaction forces but there is no evidence the violence has ended.
In addition, Haq said at least four incidents targeted the residences of mission staff, who have now been relocated to U.N. camps. A mob also tried to enter the compound of the U.N. Development Program Tuesday but was rebelled by security guards, he said.
Demonstrators on Monday set fires and forced entry into the U.N. mission offices in Goma, accusing the peacekeeping force of failing to protect civilians amid rising violence in Congo’s eastern region. They are calling for the U.N. forces, present in Congo for years, to leave.
Congo’s police said at least six people were killed in Goma on Monday, and eight civilians in Butembo. Earlier, government spokesman Patrick Muyaya said at least five people were killed and about 50 wounded by Monday.
Protesters blamed shots fired by the peacekeepers for the deaths.

Afrikan tribal conflicts just never seem to end.
[Babylon Bee] WASHINGTON, D.C. — Pope Francis donned a traditional Cherokee Indian headdress this week in preparation for a meeting with Native American Congresswoman Elizabeth Warren.
"It's time for the Catholic church to apologize for what we did to indigenous people, and I think Senator Warren's tribe may be ready to hear what I have to say," said the Pope. "Catholics' brutal practice of adopting orphaned children from stone age tribes that practiced cannibalism and human sacrifice is horrible. To make matters worse, we even educated these orphaned children in the ways of the Catholic church. This is unforgivable."
Sources close to Warren say she's ready to accept the Pope's apology on behalf of her people. The ceremonial reconciliation will take place over a peace pipe and a warm bowl of "pow-wow-chow" from Warren's famous indigenous cookbook.
"I look forward to accepting the Pope's apology for the church's role in residential schools," said Warren, "but I hope he will also unite with me against a new enemy: pregnancy centers."

Dron its time to get on the 'racist' bandwagon and demand, demand that people quit calling them Indians. Columbus never made it to your part of the world. It's a massive cultural appropriation. India had a real civilization thousands of years before that Italian came across a couple continents of animal skin wearing stone age people a little over five hundred years ago.

Video of the wild Fort Lauderdale collision shows the white luxury vehicle — which can cost more than $200,000 — getting T-boned by a Nissan SUV after speeding into an intersection.
According to witnesses, the six-figure stunner hit a nearby roof and flipped before coming to rest on the other side and bursting into flames.
"It appears that the car flew through the air about 20 to 30 feet," said Fort Lauderdale Assistant Fire Chief Timothy Heiser told WSVN Miami.
With the car burning and the driver still inside, good Samaritan Clarence Middleton quickly dragged the driver out and laid him down nearby.

Bet you this.
The idiots involved don't have enough Car Insurance to cover the damages.
[VOGUE] There is no script for first ladies in wartime, and so Olena Zelenska is writing her own. The wife of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a longtime comedy writer, always preferred to stay behind the scenes, while her husband, a comedian turned politician whose presidency may yet determine the fate of the free world, glowed in the limelight. But ever since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, Zelenska has suddenly found herself center stage in a tragedy. When I met her on a recent rainy afternoon in Kyiv, where cafés were busy even amid frequent air-raid sirens, her luminous face and green-brown eyes seemed to capture the range of emotions coursing through Ukraine today: deep sadness, flashes of dark humor, recollections of a safer, happier past, and a steely core of national pride.
"These have been the most horrible months of my life, and the lives of every Ukrainian," she said, speaking her country’s language through a translator. "Frankly I don’t think anyone is aware of how we have managed emotionally." What inspires her, she told me, is her fellow Ukrainians. "We’re looking forward to victory. We have no doubt we will prevail. And this is what keeps us going."
I met Zelenska—surnames are gendered in Slavic languages—deep inside the presidential office compound, a heavily guarded place I had traveled long hours to reach. With Ukraine’s airspace closed to civilian flights, I took an overnight train from Poland, through landscapes that have seen some of the 20th century’s worst horrors. Once inside the compound, I passed multiple security checkpoints and a labyrinth of blacked-out corridors lined with sandbags and soldiers. Life in wartime.
From the start, this war has been fought both on the ground and in the information space, where Zelenskyy—savvy, telegenic, down-to-earth in his famous olive-drab T-shirts—has excelled. Now, in a crucial new phase, with Ukraine battling for international support and fresh military aid, the first lady’s role is no longer minor or ornamental. After spending the first months of the war in hiding, Zelenska, who, like her husband, is 44, has emerged into public view to become a face of her nation—a woman’s face, a mother’s face, an empathetic human face. If Zelenskyy leads a nation of civilians who overnight turned into combatants, she has visibly carried their emotional toll.

Wasn’t it Vogue that did a full spread with lots of photos of the wife of Syria’s president Bashir al-Assad? Their political acuity isn’t. Or rather, they vote for the most fashionable wife.
[AP] DONETSK REGION, Ukaine (AP) — All over the Donetsk region, close to the front lines of Russia’s war in Ukraine, Nataliia Voronkova turns up at Ukrainian field positions and hospitals wearing high heels. A colleague bought her running shoes, but Voronkova gave them away.
A helmet and a protective vest aren’t part of her uniform, either, as she distributes first-aid kits and other equipment to Ukrainian soldiers and paramedics. She is a civilian, the founder of a medical non-profit, and looking like one is something no one can take from her, even in a combat zone.
[Aljazeera] The South African government has expressed concerns that Israel’s continued occupation of "significant portions of the West Bank" and the development of new settlements there "are glaring examples of violations of international law" as the longrunning Israel-Palestine conflict goes on.
"The Palestinian narrative evokes experiences of South Africa’s own history of racial segregation and oppression," Naledi Pandor, South Africa’s minister of international relations and cooperation, said at the second meeting of the Palestinian Heads of Mission in Africa, held in the capital Pretoria.
"As oppressed South Africans, we experienced firsthand the effects of racial inequality, discrimination and denial and we cannot stand by while another generation of Palestinians are left behind," she said.
Pandor said Pretoria believes Israel should be classified as an apartheid state and that the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) should establish a committee to verify whether it satisfies the requirements.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping will speak Thursday, according to a U.S. official, their first conversation in four months coming amid new tension between Washington and Beijing over China’s claims on Taiwan.
The planned talks between the two leaders — the fifth in a series of regular check-ins — have been in the works for weeks. But the possibility of a visit to Taiwan by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the top congressional Democrat and second in line of succession to the presidency, has added fresh strain to the complicated relationship.
Beijing is warning that it will take "forceful measures" should Pelosi visit the self-ruled island of Taiwan that China claims as part of its territory.
The U.S. official declined to be identified ahead of the public announcement. The schedule was first reported by Bloomberg.
Pelosi hasn’t confirmed plans to visit Taiwan, but Biden last week told reporters that U.S. military officials believed it was "not a good idea" for the speaker to visit the island at the moment. Biden’s comments came after the Financial Times reported last week that Pelosi planned to visit Taiwan in August, a trip she had originally planned to make in April but postponed after she tested positive for COVID-19.

Nancy should hold back just long enough for President Biden to shore up the region and area around Taiwan with 3 Carrier Battle Groups, like what President Clinton did in March of 1996. Escort her aircraft with US and Taiwanese Fighters. "Walk softly and carry the big stick!" No 'blinking' or she'll be stomping rice patties in central China.
[Townhall] President Joe Biden is almost pretty much out of the woods when it comes to recovering from COVID-19, or so we're told. His symptoms are nearly "resolved," though it's worth reminding time and time again that the White House refuses to make Biden's personal physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, directly available to the American people, instead insisting that letters will have to do.
The president has continued working throughout his diagnosis, which includes talking to the press and partaking in several video messages. A recent one truly has people talking, though. Not only does the president like and sound really tired and ragged, he doesn't blink once throughout the whole message, which may be the most hostage-like video the White House has released.
Seriously, it's painful to watch. Our friends at Twitchy highlighted some of the best reactions, while also asking if this was "a test of Disney’s new animatronic Biden" for the Hall of Presidents.

My father was one of the Secret Service Agents on the Presidential Detail for FDR from 1940-1945, and then Truman through the end of 45 before he transferred as a Special Agent at the State Department. He was on Duty at the Warm Springs House when FDR died, helped move him to the bedroom after his collapse, and remained on scene until the President was pronounced. He then was one of two agents that helped Lucy Mercer Rutherford and Artist Elizabeth Shoumatoff discretely leave the Little White House before any press or public officials arrived. He then rode the train with he casket back to DC and assumed the same duties with the Truman Detail, going on with Truman and the USS Augusta to Potsdam and the conference thereafter. It was while onboard the Augusta that Truman sent the approval for Hiroshima bombing.

Unreliable sources report an early morning meeting of the Facial Systems Group at Disney Animatronics. Apparently, there were issues with the recent "live" test.
...ranked by Neighborhood Scout as one of the country's most dangerous cities...
Mayor Tishaura Jones ...Cop-hating Dem heronner da mare of St. Louis. Chicago and Baltimore needed some competition for murder capital... signed a bill allocating federal funds to out-of-state abortion expenses last week, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt promptly filed a lawsuit against the city.
St. Louis’s "Reproductive Equity Fund" taps into $1.5 million in American Rescue Plan funding, dedicating $1 million specifically to providing logistical support for abortion, "including but not limited to the funding of childcare, transportation, and other logistical support needs." Missouri’s trigger law banned abortions in all cases except for medical emergencies, making it a class B felony to perform one.
Attorney General Schmitt, who is currently running for Senate in the Aug. 2 Republican primary, called the fund "blatantly illegal." Missouri law explicitly bars the use of public funds for "performing or assisting an abortion" and "encouraging or counseling a woman to have an abortion not necessary to save her life."
Jones, in her comments to the St. Louis American, equated his lawsuit to a "bully" tactic.
"I will not back down when our opponents threaten, bully, or demean our safety," Jones said. "Especially the attorney general, who is more concerned with chasing clout than healthcare."
"The Reproductive Equity Fund will empower St. Louisans to make the best healthcare decisions for themselves and their communities while addressing the disparities exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis," she said.
[Mercury News] The appearance of camouflage-clad militia members in the small Sierra foothills town of Mariposa as the Oak Fire raged nearby has sparked a furor in Mariposa County, with the local sheriff’s department praising the group for its help while some residents accused the militia of exploiting the disaster.
The California State Militia 2nd Regiment — whose website features pictures of men in military fatigues, helmets and assault-style rifles preparing for "the unrest yet to come" — set up a mobile kitchen trailer from Saturday evening through Monday morning in the parking lot of a lumber store in Mariposa, just southwest of the blaze that as of Monday evening had driven nearly 4,000 people from their homes while burning more than 18,000 acres and destroying at least 41 homes and other structures.
There are about 150 members in the militia across California, and about 20 of them, including several Mariposa-area residents and others from nearby counties and one from Bakersfield, showed up to help feed evacuees and offer other services, said militia member Daniel Latner.
"We’re part of the community," said Latner, 44, who lives in Mariposa County and works in logistics. "We’re watching our own community burn down, and even though a lot of the members that came to help, they’re spread out, we’re all part of the same unit, and this is what we do."
Latner estimated that his group fed about 20 families, with food including "local farm fresh eggs and goat milk," pancakes, turkey sausage, sandwiches and fruits and vegetables. Militia members rustled up a three-horse trailer to help people evacuate livestock but didn’t end up using it, Latner said.
But not all residents were happy with the activities of the militia, which parked two large green military-surplus trucks beside their kitchen operation.
"The last thing I’m going to do is take a free tri-tip sandwich from a right-wing extremist group," said one resident, who did not want her name used because she said she worried about provoking "armed and dangerous" people.

The militia in question is disciplined n sober. They do not demonstrate publicly and maintain strict rules on handling of firearms, with newer members not allowed to field any for years until they've proven their proficiency. Good on the 2nd Regiment. Only a hateful leftist would turn down a free tri-tip sandwich.

[Reactionary] Yesterday, Senator Chuck Grassley sent this letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray regarding allegations from "highly credible whistleblowers" about the FBI’s "false portrayal" of derogatory Hunter Biden materials as "disinformation."
If these allegations are true, it’s a damning depiction of FBI leadership and it proves their efforts to influence the 2020 election. This is the second (if not third) straight election the FBI has meddled in, given the influence the Trump/Russia investigation - and its unlawful origins with the FBI - had over the 2018 midterms.
Grassley’s whistleblowers allege that in August 2020, FBI Headquarters "improperly discredit[ed] negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation and caused investigative activity to cease." In fact, it was a scheme of top FBI officials. As Grassley explains:
"the allegations provided to my office appear to indicate that there was a scheme in place among certain FBI officials to undermine derogatory information connected to Hunter Biden by falsely suggesting it was disinformation."
The context and timing is important, as this was leading up to the 2020 election. Who benefited from this scheme? Democrat candidate Joe Biden. And it appears the FBI’s scheme furthered the interests of Congressional Democrats. Here’s how that happened.
On July 13, 2020, Democrat leaders — Chuck Schumer, Mark Warner, Nancy Pelosi, and Adam Schiff — sent this letter to the FBI alleging that "Congress was the subject of a foreign disinformation campaign." The Democrats demanded that "the FBI provide a classified defensive briefing" on the issue of foreign disinformation, and that "the briefing draw on all-source intelligence information and analysis." Parts of that letter were leaked to tie the Congressional Hunter Biden investigation to foreign disinformation.
Three days later, on July 16, 2020, Democrat Senators Gary Peters and Ron Wyden made their own demand of an FBI and intelligence community briefing related to purported foreign interference.
According to Grassley, these Democrat efforts resulted in an unnecessary briefing from the FBI in August 2020 relating to "disinformation" — which was later leaked to the press to paint the Biden investigation "in a false light." In other words, the FBI was more than willing to be used by the Democrats less than 3 months before the 2020 election.
Then there’s also the issue of FBI Headquarters interfering in the Hunter Biden investigation. Grassley states:

A school teacher in Donbas prior to the onset of war, Voronin dispels the Kremlin's myth that Russian-language speakers were under threat in Ukraine's east. Mykola speaks about the terrorist killing of civilians that that led to his decision to fight the Russians, how Russians blame "Americans and Jews" for the war in Donbas, and what it will take to win and end this bloody war.
I just ran into the movie Sniper: The White Raven. This is an interview of the actual man.
Set during the Donbas invasion in 2014, "Sniper: The White Raven'' is a Ukrainian war movie completed before the 2022 Russian invasion. It’s based on the true story of pacifist and school teacher Mykola Voronin, who enlisted in the Ukrainian Army and became a sniper after seeing atrocities committed by Russian troops.
Inspired by true events and created with support from the Ukrainian government and participation of members of the Ukrainian armed forces and national guard. Learn more:
SNIPER: THE WHITE RAVEN Synopsis:
After suffering a senseless tragedy at the hand of invading soldiers in the Donbas region in 2014, a former Ukrainian physics teacher renounces his peaceful way of life and seeks revenge. Upon joining the military and earning a coveted spot as a sniper, he sets his sights on an elite Russian sniper whose elimination could change the tide of the conflict.
La Belle France has expelled more than 2,700 foreign immigrants colonists in the last two years for engaging in criminal activities, the French interior minister said Tuesday.
A total of 2,751 foreign offenders have been deported, including 900 for domestic violence, according to information shared by Gerald Darmanin with French radio RTL. Around one-quarter of the immigrants colonists subjected to expulsion orders were deported.
Actually sent away? I am impressed.
A majority of those expelled, particularly in the first half of 2022, is from the North African and African countries.
Unexpectedly.
Darmanin said his office rejected applications for residence permits of nearly 72,000 foreigners due to criminal records.
The issue of foreign offenders is again in the spotlight after Darmanin was criticized for expelling an immigrant foreign national Sunday for allegedly assaulting three coppers in Lyon.
The suspect was caught last week by plainclothes police for allegedly snatching a gold chain in the Guillotiere neighborhood. The situation quickly escalated into a fight as civilians tried to free the suspect who was pinned to the ground by police and additional reinforcements had to be called in.
Although the Lyon prosecutor's office declared the immigrant was not guilty, the interior minister has been firm on his expulsion order, claiming the suspect was a repeat offender.
"Foreign offenders have no place in La Belle France," he said.
The Guillotiere district, largely inhabited by marginalized black and immigrant families, is frequently raided by police. Since Jan. 1, 700 police operations have taken place in the area, according to a Le Monde report.
Immigrants colonists in "irregular conditions" who are undocumented or have not received asylum are subjected to regular harassment from law enforcement agencies.
They do not receive accommodation or financial support from the state, unlike documented refugees. They are constantly engaged in a cat-and-mouse game with authorities in an attempt to stay in La Belle France or to try and reach Britannia by crossing the English Channel.
Hundreds of immigrants colonists are killed every year while trying to escape law enforcement or undertaking dangerous crossings to reach a safe place.
[NYPOST] Florida rapper Rollie Bands was shot full of holes outside his Tampa apartment complex Friday minutes after he dared his critics to confront him at his house in an Instagram post."A lot of these n****s know where I live at fr," the rapper wrote on his Instagram Story, according to HipHopDX. "I sleep in peace. If a n***a want smoke I’m at my crib in 5 mins."
Just five minutes after his post, at around 3:30 p.m., the rapper was shot once in the parking lot of his apartment complex. He was rushed to an area hospital, but couldn’t be saved.
The suspects — who police believe knew and targeted Bands — fled in a vehicle. They remain on the lam.
"At this time, the shooting does not appear random, as the suspects and victim are possibly known to each other," the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said in the report. Hey, yo, homies! You don't like da Burg, dat be okay!

[Yahoo!] Multiple police-driven vehicles used to transport Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot have reportedly racked up multiple traffic tickets that have gone unpaid despite the mayor's advocacy for stricter speed cameras in the city.
Two of the SUVs used to shuttle Lightfoot throughout Chicago have accumulated three speed camera tickets and two warnings in the past month. The tickets have so far gone unpaid, CWB Chicago reported on Monday.
Additionally, CWB Chicago reported that one of the SUVs in the mayor’s fleet has a red light ticket that has not been paid and two SUVs that were previously assigned to Lightfoot’s security detail have outstanding speed and red light tickets.
One of those SUVs is eligible to be booted and impounded over the lack of payment.
Two of the speed violations committed by Lightfoot’s SUVs reportedly occurred in school zones and the citations stated that school children were present. Raise a big enuf stink and she'll scapegoat/sacrifice the CPD drivers that she's been telling to "go faster dammit!"
Since taking office, Lightfoot supported a push to lower the "buffer zone" threshold that speed cameras allow before issuing a citation from 10 mph to 6 mph, arguing that it will make roads safer.
"No one likes speed cameras. I get it," Lightfoot was quoted last month. "But this is life or death that we’re talking about here, and we’ve got to step up as a city and address this."
Lightfoot also pointed out the potential dangers to kids despite being ticketed for speeding through a school zone with her own security detail.
"It is unconscionable that any City Council member would consider voting to allow for increased speeds near spaces utilized by our children," Lightfoot said.
Lightfoot's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
In 2020, Chicago Tribune reported that the city of Chicago dismissed the majority of tickets that were issued to Lightfoot's security team, which included tickets given at times the mayor was attending non-city related events.
The Illinois Policy Institute, a libertarian think tank, found that Chicago has issued 3.8 million speeding tickets, generating almost $80 million in revenue to the city since Lightfoot lowered the threshold last year.
The Chicago City Council struck down a measure to repeal the lowered speed camera threshold last week in a vote that Lightfoot supported.
WLS-TV reported that 84% of all speed camera tickets issued were given to drivers driving between 6 and 10 miles per hour over the speed limit.
[FoxBusiness] This is Biden administration's fifth announced sale of oil from Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
The White House announced Tuesday that the Department of Energy will be issuing a notice to sell 20 million more barrels of oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as part of the Biden administration's effort to bring gas prices down.
This makes the fifth such sale that President Biden has authorized. The White House continued to blame "disruptions posed by Russia’s invasion" for the high prices while claiming that the Biden administration's actions are making a tremendous difference.
"In fact, the Department of the Treasury estimates that as a result of these drawdowns both domestically and internationally, the price at the pump for Americans is up to about 40 cents per gallon lower than it otherwise would have been," the White House said in its announcement.
While gas prices are down significantly since a recent national average price of more than $5 per gallon in June, the average as of Tuesday was still $4.327, compared to $3.156 from one year ago, and approximately $2.39 when Biden first took office in January 2021.
Republicans slammed the White House after previous sales from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves after it was made known that millions of barrels were being sent to European and Asian countries, including China.
"The American people deserve answers as to why our emergency energy reserves are being sent to foreign adversaries like the Chinese Communist Party, compromising our energy security and national security," House Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Cathy McMorris Rodgers told Fox News Digital in a statement.
The White House also announced that the Department of Energy is proposing a rule change regarding how the federal government acquires oil for the strategic reserve. The new rule, if adopted, would permit fixed-price contracts as well as index-price contracts. The current rule requires purchase prices to be set by a price index, with the price paid being based on market prices at the time of delivery.
"This proposal, if finalized as proposed, would encourage near-term production, promote market stability, and put the federal government in a better position to respond to future market volatility," the White House said.

LOL to bring gas prices down. They're not even bothering to lie any more. This oil is exported, refined, and sold in distant lands. Not one drop will make it to the gas pump here.
The WH administration controllers decided Biden would sell 1 million barrels of oil per day from the reserve for the next 180 days. Which is about 25% of the total SPR
Depending on the time of year, the United States consumes between 18.6 and 20.1 million barrels of oil daily.
In 2021-22 oil production in the USA was about 16.6 million barrels per day.
Lower end Math Spring/Summer:
18.6 Used - 16.6 produced = -2 Million barrels of Oil short.
Higher End Math this winter:
20.1 Used - 16.6 produced = - 3.5 Million barrels of Oil short.
Supply and demand kicks in, prices go to hell in a hand basket. Fixed income people freeze.
NOTE:
Approximately 60% of the SPR crude oil in the reserve is the less desirable sour (high sulfur content) variety. High-sulfur crude oils produce greater emissions, particularly those emissions that are toxic and have a high global warming potential.
SUMMARY
So Biden's handlers, claiming to protect the environment, caused massive supply and demand shortages. Then turned around, sold SPR High sulfur based oil that causes serious environmental issues.

3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... chief minister's election, declaring his "understanding and implementation" of Article 63A(1)(b) of the Constitution "incorrect and erroneous" as it announced the highly anticipated verdict on PML-Q leader Chaudhry Parvez Elahi's petition.
The verdict delivered a big but expected blow to the coalition government as it saw PML-N's Hamza Shehbaz lose his status of the "trustee" chief minister, while his rival Parvez Elahi, who had PTI's backing, will now take over the position as per the top court's order.
A three-member bench comprising Chief Justice of Pakistain (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial and Justices Ijazul Ahsan and Munib Akhtar announced the decision.
During the election, Mazari, the deputy speaker, had decided against counting the votes of 10 PML-Q politicians, which were cast in Elahi’s favour, citing a letter written by party President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain in which he had instructed them to vote for Hamza instead. That decision had tipped the balance in Hamza's favour — an advantage the SC reversed in its verdict tonight.
The top court, in its short order, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, declared all the appointments made by Hamza "illegal" and told the members of his cabinet to vacate their offices.
All of the advisers and assistants appointed by Hamza were also ordered to be relieved of their duties.
The top court ordered for the issuance of Elahi's notification as the new Punjab chief minister immediately, also instructing the governor to take his oath at 11:30pm tonight.

[SAHARAREPORTERS] Some faceless myrmidons who planned to attack the Nigerian Law School in Abuja and later ambushed some Nigerian Army personnel in Bwari, the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, were led by two kingpins.
According to Daily Nigerian, the faceless myrmidons were led by two banditry kingpins, Kachalla Ali Kawaje and Kachalla Dansadi.
Kawaje, who controls hundreds of fighters in Kuyambana Forest, which stretches across Zamfara, Kebbi, Kaduna and Niger states, was responsible for shooting down a Nigerian Air Force jet on July 18, 2021.
Security reports say the faceless myrmidons planned to attack the Central Mosque and worship centres and security formations in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
This is coming few weeks after faceless myrmidons who later identitfied themselves as members of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... - West African Province (ISWAP) attacked the Kuje Correctional Centre in the Nigeria’s capital, releasing over 800 inmates including 64 Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... suspects and killed 10 inmates and one security officer.
Intelligence sources also confirmed that the faceless myrmidons were planning to plant improvised bombs in open manholes around security formations, mosques, churches and public places.
"Central Mosque, Abuja, was particularly targeted for attack," the source said.
The source further revealed that credible intelligence had revealed that the kidnappers and bandidos terrorising Bwari general area are camping on the mountains and caves behind Usman Dam, linking Ushafa to Mpape satellite communities.
"The faceless myrmidons have been mingling with the locals recently. They came on cycle of violences from their camps to buy food and drugs in Ushafa and Mpape," the security source added.
The source said unless serious security measures are taken to frustrate their plans, the faceless myrmidons may strike any moment.
Parts of the security measures advised during a recent security meeting are immediate replacement of the stolen manhole covers, ban on commercial cycle of violences in the FCT and stepping up surveillance on the outskirts of the city.

In order to advance and consolidate in the direction of the administrative border of Luhansk and Donetsk regions, the Russians are destroying settlements, burning them.
Sergiy Gaidai, the head of the Luhansk OVA , announced this in Telegram.
"In order to gain a foothold in Luhansk region, the Russians brutally burn down populated areas that do not obey. By destroying several streets at once, the occupiers improve their tactical position for the attack on Donetsk region," he wrote.
In particular, on Monday, the Russians fired four rockets, organized two massive artillery barrages and used mortars two more times in the direction of the administrative border of Luhansk and Donetsk regions. As a result, the enemy was able to strengthen its positions.
"It's been almost a month since the enemy came almost to the border of our region, and in order to cross it, they are sacrificing all their reserves and burning villages in Luhansk region and Donetsk region. The occupiers don't need people - they need a referendum, no matter how many residents they kill and leave homeless", Gaidai wrote.
According to him, four assaults from the Russian side have been repulsed in the past day, and fighting continues in the fifth direction.
The head of the OVA stated that the occupiers are shelling populated areas with rocket launchers and barrel artillery. The enemy also uses aviation.

Northeastern Regional Police Commander George Seda said Tuesday the officers were at the El-Ram Anti-Stock Theft Unit camp when they were attacked by the snuffies at about 2 a.m. in Kutulo area.
"The injured coppers are out of danger," Seda told Xinhua on the phone, noting that the coppers were hit by bullets in the legs and stomach.
Seda said the officers in the camp fought back and repulsed the attackers who reportedly escaped toward the Kenya-Somalia border. Search for the attackers continued along the mostly non-existent border following the deployment of more security forces.
On July 22, a team of security agents escaped death narrowly when their two vehicles ran over an bomb in Mandera County. The team was driving from Fino toward Sheikh Barrow when their vehicles were hit by an improvised bomb at intervals. The officers, however, survived and jumped out amid a gun attack by suspected al-Shabaab snuffies who were waiting near there.
The snuffies have also been targeting communication masts in a series, destroying them in the same area. In the recent past, there have been numerous attacks involving landmines, grenades, or other bombs in northeast Kenya.
Most of these attacks occurred in northeastern Kenya, mainly in Wajir, Garissa, and Mandera counties as well as along the Kenyan coast.

[FoxNews] Robb Elementary School Principal Mandy Gutierrez placed on leave Monday.
The principal of the Uvalde, Texas, elementary school where an 18-year-old gunman went on a shooting rampage, killing 19 children and two adults, was suspended Monday, Fox News Digital confirmed.
Mandy Gutierrez, the principal of Robb Elementary School at the time of the May 24 mass shooting, was placed on administrative leave with pay on Monday by Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Superintendent Hal Harrell, Ricardo Cedillo, an attorney representing Gutierrez, told Fox News Digital.
Cedillo did not elaborate further in his emailed response on the circumstances of the suspension. Gutierrez is the second school district employee placed on leave since the shooting.
Amid widespread scrutiny over law enforcement response, Uvalde Schools Police Chief Pete Arredondo was placed on unpaid administrative leave in June. A special board meeting to consider his firing was scheduled for Saturday morning, but the school district announced in a statement on Friday that it was canceled per the request of his attorney and will be held at a later date, which has not yet been determined.
In a 77-page report released earlier this month, a Texas House of Representatives investigate committee outlined "systemic failures and egregiously poor decision-making" that contributed to the tragedy.
"The school’s five-foot tall exterior fence was inadequate to meaningfully impede an intruder. While the school had adopted security policies to lock exterior doors and internal classroom doors, there was a regrettable culture of noncompliance by school personnel who frequently propped doors open and deliberately circumvented locks," according to the report. "At a minimum, school administrators and school district police tacitly condoned this behavior as they were aware of these unsafe practices and did not treat them as serious infractions requiring immediate correction."
"In fact, the school actually suggested circumventing the locks as a solution for the convenience of substitute teachers and others who lacked their own keys," the report added.
In addition to suspending the principal, the district school board also agreed to push back the start of the school year for three weeks until Sept. 6, so officials can repair classrooms and other resources.
Gutierrez has worked for the school district for two decades, starting in 2008 as a fourth-grade teacher. She became an assistant principal in 2018 and later became principal in 2021.
The report notes that both Gutierrez and her assistant had known about problems securing the lock for Room 111 – believed to be the classroom 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos entered to carry out his rampage – since around spring break, but a work order was never filed to have the lock repaired.
Gutierrez had just finished an award ceremony and was in her office when she heard a coach report of "shots fired" over the radio. She attempted to initiate a lockdown through an application but had difficulty sending the alert due to a bad Wi-Fi signal, according to the investigative report. She also did not attempt to communicate the lockdown alert over the school’s intercom.
Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District had a scheduled meeting Monday evening.

...The money that they got to secure the school and train everybody was almost certainly far and above what was actually needed to do so. Had there been funds available to get personnel compliance, there might have been a different result.
[FoxBusinessNews] IMF downgrades economic outlook as it projects higher inflation globally.
The International Monetary Fund on Tuesday slashed its global growth outlook for 2022 and 2023, warning the world economy faces a "gloomy and more uncertain" future that could include a recession.
The Washington-based institution said in its latest World Economic Outlook that global gross domestic product will grow by 3.2% this year – a 0.4 percentage point drop from its April estimate. The IMF expects global growth to decelerate further to 2.9% next year, which is a 0.7 percentage point decline from its previous estimate. By comparison, the economy grew by 6.1% last year following the brief but extremely severe recession in 2020.
The revised outlook comes as the economy confronts a slew of challenges, including the ongoing fallout from the Russian war in Ukraine, the hottest inflation in decades and continued COVID-19-related lockdowns in China that have fueled a worse-than-anticipated slowdown in the country.
"The outlook has darkened significantly since April," Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, the IMF’s chief economist, said in a blog accompanying the latest report. "The world may soon be teetering on the edge of a global recession, only two years after the last one."
Inflation has climbed more quickly than the IMF expected and broadened throughout the economy. The fund now projects that consumer prices will accelerate even further this year – hitting 6.6% in wealthy countries and 9.5% in developing nations – the result of rising food and energy prices, as well as continued supply and demand imbalances.
In all, the IMF forecast the global consumer price index will surge 8.3% this year, which would mark the biggest increase since 1996. That is up from the previous estimate of 6.9% in April.
Rapid price growth has forced the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates at the fastest pace in three decades as it tries to catch up with runaway inflation. Central bank policymakers already approved a 75-basis point rate hike in June – the first since 1994 – and are expected to raise the benchmark federal funds rate by another three-quarter percentage point on Wednesday.
The Bank of England and European Central Bank have also started to tighten monetary policy in order to combat raging inflation.
By hiking interest rates – which creates higher rates on consumer and business loans – these central banks hope to cool consumer demand and allow supply time to catch up, likely slowing the pace of price growth. But there is a risk that raising rates too high too quickly could trigger a recession.
"With increasing prices continuing to squeeze living standards worldwide, taming inflation should be the first priority for policymakers," the IMF said in the report.
The IMF is slated to release another round of updated projections in October.

[PostMillennial] Ashwin Vasan, the 44th Commissioner of the New York City Department of Health & Mental Hygiene, wrote a letter to the World Health Organization demanding that the monkeypox virus be immediately renamed, citing "racism" as the primary reason.
Posturing for the local audience, because the target isn’t interested — though they will make conciliatory noises...
"We're calling on @WHO to act immediately to rename the 'monkeypox' virus. We have a growing concern for the potentially stigmatizing effects that the messaging around the 'monkeypox' virus can have on vulnerable communities," Vasan said in a tweet on Tuesday with the letter attached.
"NYC joins many public health experts and community leaders who have expressed their serious concern about continuing to exclusively use the term 'monkeypox' given the stigma it may engender, and the painful and racist history within which terminology like this is rooted for communities of color," the letter reads.
Vasan states that the continued use of the term "monkeypox" would reignite "traumatic feelings of racism and stigma" for "Black people and other people of color, as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ communities."

"You expect me to live like a monk?!?"

Unbroken, is violence!
Act up! Shake a fist
And insist: COEXISTENCE!

Add 'M' to The Letters!
We gotta be us,"
Blurts the pox, spurting pus,
"And our sexual preference
Is THEM! No more deference!"

Monkeys appear naturally on every continent except North America and Antarctica. How is that racist again? Oh, if it doesn't instantly bring a negative mental picture of whites it must be racist.

Racism, especially against black people runs deep in the Indian psyche. Ashwin Vasan may be born there, but he is a hindoo, Indo American likely raised with a civilizational complex seeing the negroid person as sub-human. He may hide it, play the liberal to get ahead, but inside he's likely more racist than the whitest white supremacist.

Anthropologically speaking, racism is ingrained in Asian society worse than anywhere. Did you know some casteist slurs are deeply embedded in Sanskrit and Hindi, references to the inferiority of certain races a matter of 'historic fact' in hindooist philosophy? The Chinese and Japanese have similar cultural thingies. It was the Turks brought african slaves here, and later the Europeans, and all Indians imbibed from the phenomenon was, 'oh these things are Sub-Human maybe... because their masters treat them so' Because casteist segregation and untouchability were already a primary essential of the civilization itself, it was accepted as a normal. Gandhi was a Brahmin, he must've had a proper Brahmin education aside from the English one. Naturally the bias came easily to him. But he realigned his views with the Africans as he grew older. And with all colonized societies in fact. After all he was subjected to the same treatment the black man was, even though he was a successful lawyer. Gandhi did some activism against apartheid in s Africa too, and later MLK drew inspiration from Gandhi's peacefull... whatever.
It took our own society centuries of laws and reform and we're still not at total equality mentally, but at least all parties want to get there. It has only these opên söciety types and other Marxist bastards been raking up the past here and preaching the hatred for past injustices, since the early 90s. It's the inherent belief in the hindu mind, that some races are just inferior that no amount if education can purge. And some bastards are happy to perpetuate that stereotype by inserting ideas if 'revolution' through crime disguised as a lashing out for historic inequality. And that is the root of these troubles.
All I know is Moses' wife was black, an Ethiopian, and Gawd was havin' none of the yammering behind her back so he put some plague on Aaron's wife or something. And that settles all questions. I may have that muddled a bit, sorry...

Us vs Them, however each is defined. Racism is nothing more than another Them.
The history of civilization is a broadening of the definition of Us. It’s my understanding, though I could be wrong, that by Roman empire times, Us was anyone who managed to become a citizen, regardless of birthplace or skin colour.
Aca Joe: just because the world is full of idiots does not mean they’re right, merely that they are numerous.
[FoxNews] A Tennessee police officer is currently jailed in Mexico after Cancun authorities reportedly found a pistol in his luggage.
According to local WKRN, Lemandries Hawes, an officer with the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, was arrested at the Cancun airport on July 9. His department said Hawes declared the personally owned firearm with the airline, but Mexican law still prohibits bringing guns into the country.
People forget that Mexico is a different country with its own laws. Of course foreigners forget that about America, too, from time to time.
Hawes was scheduled for a hearing on Monday. Fox News reached out to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department Tuesday morning, but they did not have any new information for the time of publication.
Officer Hawes is new to the Metro Nashville police, having just graduated from their academy in February after starting with them in October. According to Fox13, he has more than five years of experience working with Tennessee law enforcement, having previously worked with the Memphis Police Department from March 2017 through September 2021.
A number of Americans have been detained in Mexico on gun charges in recent years. Last October, Arizona man Ira Beavers was sentenced to nearly three years after he and his family drove into Mexico with a gun in their car, that he said he forgot to remove.
In early 2021, Arizona teacher Kayria Rosales spent nearly seven weeks in a Mexican jail for the same offense. Rosales told local News12 that she was with friends on a Spring Break trip when they got pulled over and found the gun that she normally keeps in a travel bag.
[SHABELLEMEDIA] Major General Tesfaye Ayalew, head of deployment unit of the Æthiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) and coordinator of the temporary security command post in the Somali regional state, said that coordinated measures were being taken "to clean up the members of the al-Shabaab ...... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... hard boyz "who were cut off from their unit that tried to infiltrate through Eastern Æthiopia."
Maj. Gen Tesfaye said that the group tried to attack through five different border areas, namely Yeed, Aato, El-Barde, Waqasho and Ferfer, but they were completely repelled by the security forces.
Several heavy weapons and small arms were also seized from the group, including automatic machine guns and RPGs, he said, adding that currently the joint ENDF and the Somali regional state security forces have fully entered these areas.
Furthermore state media reported that 85 members of the al-Shabaab hard boyz were killed in a joint operation by the federal and regional security forces at a place called El-Qudun village in Ferfer Woreda, Gode zone of Somali regional state. Many more were maimed and captured.
The news came after Somali region security council said on 25 July that the bully boy group, which entered the Afdheer zone of Somali region on 20 July from the place called Aato, in Bakool region of neighboring Somalia bordering Æthiopia’s Somali region, was "completely destroyed after being encircled in the sub-kebelle called Hulhul."
Reinforcement members of the ENDF were sent on 25 July to join the Somali region security forces in the fight against the bully boy group. Prior to that the Somali region security council said that more than 100 members of al-Shabaab hard boyz were killed in the three-day operation, the Council said, and "13 vehicles were burnt and the weapons and supplies they brought with them were confiscated."

[NPASYRIA] Canadian 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.... Organization (ISIS) member Mohammed Khalifa is facing a life imprisonment sought by US prosecutors over charges of promoting the organization’s propaganda and engaging in gory actions in Syria.
In materials filled in a court, the prosecutors said that Khalifa "most prolific propagandists" in ISIS was a "formidable figure within ISIS."
He is accused of producing gory videos used by the ISIS to "incite attacks and recruit", and also of executing two Syrian soldiers.
In 2013, Khalifa moved to join ISIS in Syria, where he "underwent training and used his English-language skills to narrate ISIS execution videos," according Global News.
39-year-old Khalifa, who was born in Soddy 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. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , was scheduled to be sentenced this Friday.
Khalifa’s proficiency with the English language, intelligence and communication skills made him a valuable asset to ISIS.
In early 2019, he engaged in fighting.
On Jan. 13, 2019, he was captured when his AK-47 broke down while he was trying to target Kurdish fighters backed by the US.
The US detained him and transferred him to Washington D.C.
Scores of Canadian nationals of ISIS suspects are held in camps in northeast Syria, but the Canadian government does not agree to repatriate them, saying that it has no obligation to assist them or bring them home.

Why does the US have to be involved in this case? If he was captured while fighting Kurds, why not leave him to the tender mercies of his captors? Why does our government have to be involved?

Morning, Ralf!

You know it is the Will of Allan(tm) when your famously reliable rifle breaks in the middle of the game. Sucks to be you!

The Kurds have neither the manpower nor the funds to run the kind of prison system these people require for the long term. Most of them came from far away, so the Kurds feel justified in demanding that their home countries share the cost and effort.
The Canadian government means that idiot, Justin Trudeau. Apparently we are doing the Kurds this small favour because Canada refuses to step up to its responsibilities.
I thought Aca Joe was Mexican, not American. He’s made it clear he lives here as part of the Mexican Reconquista. Did he also steal an American citizenship?

Based on language skills and the level of antisemitism, I get the impression there are multiple Aca Joes running the same 'nym. Not all of them seem equally familiar with the backstory as originally presented.

I thought it was starting to smooth out to the new normal. As we had gone from $2.12 to $4.29 and were at $3.44 yesterday.
A customer price training cycle that we have been through before. Where the public was being trained and conditioned to accept a new higher item price, by using very high absurd prices for a period of time. Then gradually lowering the item price to the intended targeted higher price.
Reportedly tonight the Antonovskiy Bridge across the Dnipro River in Kherson city has been hit. Likely a strike by Ukrainian HIMARS rockets, possibly causing damage to its structure. Around 15 explosions heard by locals according to reports. Bridge already struck twice before. pic.twitter.com/Trk3rE4OI4

[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... i Minister of Defence, Major General Mohammed Nasser al-Atifi, has on Monday said that "the Yemeni Armed Forces possess today more than ever all the factors of strategic deterrent power and are in a race against time to confront all challenges and risks."
During his visit to the fronts of al-Maraziq axis in Jawf province, Major General al-Atifi warned the US-backed Saudi-led coalition against continuing its war and its brutal aggression against the Yemeni people.
He stressed that "if the enemies continue to follow this path of unknown end, they will be defeated and will inevitably go into the dustbin of history."
"The one who returned Jawf to Yemen is able to restore all the lands of the Republic of Yemen," the Defence Minister added.
He thanked the people of Jawf and Mar’ib provinces who stood on the side of the nation and the Yemeni people in defending their illusory sovereignty and independence.

U.S. Airport Shooter, Odufuwa Once Claimed She Was God’s Prophet, Married To Chris Brown, Angry Her Husband Allegedly Had An Affair – Police | Sahara Reporters https://t.co/FHA6T7aQgApic.twitter.com/35HcM54FmY
Portia Odufuwa, the woman suspected of opening fire at the Dallas Love Field Airport Monday, has accused her husband of having illicit affairs, according to the Dallas Police.
Odufuwa said it was her husband's infidelity that upset her to cause chaos on Monday.
Dallas police said she had been dropped off at the airport and entered the terminal. "Odufuwa went inside a women’s restroom and a short time later came out into the ticket counter area and fired a weapon several times," police said.
A Dallas police officer nearby engaged the suspect and shot her "in the lower extremities," police said.
No other injuries were reported among passengers, airport workers or responding officers.
It’s unclear if she was aiming at anything specific, Chief Eddie Garcia said at a presser Monday.
"At this point we don’t know where exactly this individual was aiming," Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcie told news hounds earlier.
A witness also said she saw the armed woman dressed in all black, walking in the terminal "with guns up."
"We were at the counter checking in, and I was trying to check in and we heard someone yelling," Judy Rawle told the station. "And we looked up and we saw her walking down with guns up."
Rawle said she had heard from another witness that the suspect "was upset because her husband had got fired from somewhere."
It was also revealed that the suspect was arrested in 2019 for a dismissed Booking photo case.
It was learnt that Odufuwa also previously told police she was ’God’s prophet,’ married to Chris Brown.
But neither of those claims is true.
Odufuwa had a series of run-ins with police, including a misdemeanor case last year when she was ruled unfit to stand trial and ordered to get help for her mental health, New York Daily News reports.
She has been charged with aggravated assault against a public servant, according to online jail records.
Before the airport shooting, Odufuwa had racked up a string of arrests for arson, robbery, criminal trespass and false reporting across North Texas, according to the Dallas Morning News.
In April 2021, she was accused of pulling the fire alarm at a Mesquite hotel after they refused to extend her stay. When police asked for her address, she allegedly gave that of Chris Brown’s mansion.
In October 2019, Odufuwa allegedly set a house on fire, but the Dallas County District Attorney’s office declined to press charges due to a lack of scientific evidence.
After telling police she was "responsible for the fire," she said she had set the blaze because "I am God’s prophet," according to an arrest affidavit obtained by the Morning News.
She also allegedly told officers that she wouldn’t say anything else until she talked to Brown, who she identified as her husband.

[CBS] AMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida man was arrested Friday for driving a stolen pickup truck to a Space Force Base in Brevard County in what he called a mission from the president of the United States, reports said.
According to WESH 2 News, 29-year-old Corey Johnson, of Ocala, stole a Ford F-150 from Riviera Beach, Florida three days before he drove to Patrick Space Force Base.
When Johnson tried to get on the base, he claimed the President told him in his mind that he needed to take the vehicle and warn government officials that there were U.S. aliens fighting Chinese dragons, WRBW reported.
Johnson was arrested and booked into the Brevard County Jail. He was charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle. Bond was set at $3,000.
Patrick Space Force Base is home to the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and Space Launch Delta 45, which is described as the premier launch delta of the new United States Space Force. The site is located approximately 18 miles away from the Kennedy Space Center.
"We're so glad to see so many of you lovely people here tonight. And we would especially like to welcome all the representatives of Illinois's law enforcement community that have chosen to join us here in the Palace Hotel Ballroom at this time. We certainly hope you all enjoy the show. And remember, people, that no matter who you are and what you do to live, thrive and survive, there're still some things that makes us all the same. You. Me. Them. Everybody. Everybody."

Dron, you can't really determine what era Mr. Johnson believes he is in, so I'll cut him some slack for a telepathic presidency.
I do fault him for stealing a carbon-emissions spewing F-150, however it is a good apocalypse vehicle and could handle rough roads damaged by the dragons.

[REGNUM] Lenin came up with the idea of creating a buffer state, which was supposed to separate the RSFSR from Japan on the eve of a possible attack by the Poles. It was a very timely proposal. In fact, Tokyo was not going to stop the intervention in Russia, rather the opposite.
Svetlodarsk held firm against the separatists before the 2015 Debaltsevo defensive operation was concluded. Even more significant is the capture of parts of Svetlodarsk which brings separatist territory closer to Svetlodarsk arc.
[RIA Novosti] The official representative of the People's Militia of the LPR, Ivan Filiponenko, announced that the Uglegorsk thermal power plant in Svetlodarsk had been taken under control.
"The people's police continue their combat work, liberating the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic occupied by the enemy. The units of the People's Militia of the LPR in the area of the settlement of Svetlodarsk took control of the Uglegorskaya TPP, a key industrial facility in the region," he told reporters.
According to him, now the territory of the facility is being cleaned from the remnants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In addition, Andrey Marochko, Lieutenant Colonel of the People's Militia of the LPR, reported on a large number of mines and tripwires left by the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the station.
Earlier, Vitaly Kiselev, an assistant to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the LPR, also spoke about taking control of the Uglegorsk thermal power plant.
Uglegorsk TPP is one of the largest thermal power plants in Europe . On the western shore of its reservoir there is also the village of Novoluganskoye, which was completely blocked by the allied forces.

Russian troops advance in the north of the DPR . The Lugansk People's Republic was completely liberated - the cities of Lisichansk and Severodonetsk were taken , which became the last centers of resistance of Ukrainian troops in the LPR. Allied forces are also approaching Kharkov and Slavyansk . Among the Ukrainian military, the number of deserters and those evading participation in hostilities is growing.
As a result of the offensive, the Russian group of troops managed to completely cut off Ukraine from the Sea of Azov , as well as connect the controlled territories of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions with the DPR.
