It's just a matter of time before these offshore " Shell" payments and bribes to a Russian Nuclear Official are linked as well to payments to the Clinton Foundation and possible " Pay to play" allegations. Note that these Bribery payments were made between 2009 thru 2014, ostensibly when The Hilldebeest was Sec. of State and Soe toro was POTUS. Let's see if this guy 'flips' on others ?
[Free Beacon] The three-year decline in America's prison population, a reversal of multiple decades of increase, saw a concurrent decrease in the number of Americans held for property, drug, and immigration offenses, and an increase in those incarcerated for violent offenses.
This conclusion is based on data made available Wednesday by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. The BJS’s most recent report, Prisoners in 2016, found that state and federal incarceration levels had dropped for three years in a row between 2014 and 2016, reversing decades of near-continuous growth.
In addition to providing data on overall levels of incarceration, the BJS breaks down those statistics by, among other variables, type of offense. Its most recent report provides state-level distribution of offenses through the end of 2015, and federal-level distribution through September 2016. Over the period of the decline (2014 through 2016 inclusive), federal prisons accounted for about 12 percent of overall incarceration, while state prisons were responsible for the other 88 percent.
At both levels, prison populations declined, and similar patterns occurred in the changes in the distributions of offenses.
Within the states, fewer people were incarcerated for drug and property offenses at the end of 2015 than at the end of 2013. Approximately 11,000 fewer people were held for drug charges, including around 3,000 for drug possession and 8,000 for other drug charges, including drug trafficking. Some 22,000 fewer people were held for property charges, with the plurality of reductions being in the 13,500 people locked up for burglary.

Of course, you've had a three year increase in verbally and physically assaulting police in major metro areas, so they back off (and the murder rate goes up). Gee, funny that coincidence.
Smith Sights, which manufactures an after-market front sight, said Wednesday that Facebook tends to approve his ads after he is silent for a while about his conservative politics. That's okay, because Milo Yianopolis is suing Twitter for their discrimination against conservatives.
Suing a business entity for their political views: doesn't that go against the whole 1st Amendment? Top tech companies don't want to help their blood enemies and they don't want to pay them even if their services are useful. It goes back to freedom of association. I understand if Milo wants to strip mine Twitter for their behavior, but it won't be because of 1st Amendment or other lofty issues, but because of a business issue. All well and good. But suing to remedy an action based on politics is something so dumb only a lawyer could have conceived it.
By the way, I have installed the Smith Sight on my Mosin-Nagant and it really helped.

[ALMASDARNEWS] Ottoman Turkish President 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... appears to be learning that even in the complex and inherently paranoid environment of international relations one fixed principal remains that can also be applied to basic relations between individuals ‐ saying mean things makes you enemies and saying nice things makes you friends.
Almost two weeks ago, Erdogan ‐ speaking before Ottoman Turkish media ‐ made a highly unexpected comment in regards to European relations, pronouncing that ’I always say this: We are obliged to lessen the number of foes and increase the number of friends.’
Indeed, the Ottoman Turkish president might have always said that, but in practice it seems that he is only now just learning ‐ after a 27 year career in various seats of public office ‐ that the act of saying nice things is part of the obligation to reduce enemies and gain friends.
The statement came after most of 2017 witnessed Erdogan slander European leaders as fascist ...anybody not a leftist... s of their lack of interest in conducting their own nations’ internal affairs according to how he thought they should be conducted.
As far as fair play in politics goes, there is nothing immoral with criticizing the leaderships of other nations (even over domestic matters), however it can make one very undesirable to be allies with when they mean things at the same time as asking for privileges ‐ in Erdogan’s case, European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... membership.
Whether the Ottoman Turkish president can retain the knowledge of this most crucial of lessons in regards to relations at any level (personal and professional, individual and international) ‐ and possibly even develop further on the notion to include offering practical benefits in exchange for practical benefits ‐ to aid The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund.... ’s long overdue re-rapprochement with Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... is yet to be seen.

slander European leaders as fascists
I thought truth was the perfect defense against a charge of slander.
[DAWN] KASUR is once again the scene of a depraved crime against a child. The rape and murder of seven-year-old Zainab is a grotesque illustration of the state’s increasing disconnect with the people.
The little girl went missing last Thursday, kidnapped while on her way to a religious tuition centre; her brutalised body was found on Wednesday, discarded on a heap of garbage.
In 2015, horrific details emerged of a child pornography ring that had been preying for years on several minors in Kasur district, making videos in which the victims were coerced into performing sex acts.
Despite the outrage triggered by that case, the criminal justice system remains as dysfunctional as ever. For Zainab’s abduction and rape is reportedly preceded by no less than 12 similar cases ‐ still unsolved ‐ within a two-kilometre radius in Kasur city during the past two years.
But this time, public anger spilled over on the streets of Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... with riots continuing into the second day. Police firing into the crowd of protesters left two people dead.
No matter which society, crimes against children evoke an especially acute horror. In Pakistain, that initial revulsion comes up against a state callously indifferent to its duty to protect citizens, even the younger segment of the population.
Criminal investigations are not of a standard that can lead to prosecutions; traumatised child victims are not handled with sensitivity by the police, nor does the latter liaise with organizations trained in rape counselling who can help these minors deal with their ordeal.
Law enforcement’s lackadaisical attitude, which is of course generally applicable to crimes across the board ‐ is born out of the knowledge that there will be absolutely no repercussions for their failure to properly compile and analyse evidence, an approach that takes time and discipline.
After the child porn ring was unearthed in Kasur, years after it had claimed its first victims, one would have imagined that the police would have expended every effort to track down the individuals responsible for the rape and abduction, and in some cases murder, of so many other girls in the same area.
Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Count Guido had been cornered by the banditti... as seen time and again, brute force is often the tactic of choice to deal with public protests.
Again, it is the easy way out. Endemic abuse of power and lack of justice have left society seething with pent-up frustration, an impotent rage that spills over into mob violence as witnessed over the last two days.
While such mayhem cannot be condoned, it arises from very legitimate, yet unmet, expectations.
The criminal justice system must be overhauled and reformed to serve the people. Underscoring the scale of the problem, the bodies of two more child rape victims surfaced yesterday in parts of Punjab other than Kasur.
The paedophiles that live amongst us should no longer be able to freely walk the streets.

...Although the JV has figured out how to use drones, I am extremely skeptical of the 'swarm attack' claim. I'm thinkin' - and your mileage may vary, of course - that the Soviet Russian base got hit by an old-time ground attack, and this is the official cover explanation.

Doesn't add up. Allegedly these drones had over the horizon capability (not bargain basement). They were a coordinated, even slaved attack but not synchronized to qualify as swarming. The Russians just happened to have the correct assets available and alert to tag all the inbounds within a very narrow reaction window.
My take is the Russian version of a "red team" conducted a planned exercise simulating a multiple vector deliberate attack to test the resilience of the SOP defenses. That explains the field expedient drones, the lack of penetration/damage.
Otherwise it would seem to simply be a probing attack against a brittle (not hard) target. Note there is no independent confirmation that the mortar round payloads were live or inert

Russians said they tapped in to a data port and were able to bring seven of them down.
The drones' flight path was programmed and supposedly impervious to jamming. A nearby Russian ELINT unit was able to tap into the drones' data port and to bring some of them down.
