[FOX] A driver who attacked a Florida sheriff's deputy Monday morning was shot and killed by a bystander who warned him to stop beating the officer, according to a report.
The incident began at around 9:30 a.m. when the Lee County deputy tried to make a traffic stop on Interstate 75 in Estero. Instead of complying, witnesses said the driver took off, reaching speeds of more than 100 miles per hour.
The deputy chased the suspect onto an exit ramp, where a witness said the suspect got out of his car and assaulted his pursuer.
Shanta Holditch told WZVN that the suspect pulled the deputy out of his car and "just kept beating him and beating him ... throwing him to the ground and punching him in all different directions."
At that point, WINK reported, another driver got out of his car and ran to the scene. He told the suspect that he'd shoot him if he didn't stop beating the deputy.
"[He] refused to get off the officer and the officer kept yelling, 'shoot him, shoot him, shoot him,' Holditch said.
When the suspect didn't stop his attack, the third man shot him three times. The deputy was not hit. The suspect later died.
"I heard like three shots. He fell down on top of the police officer," said a witness who would only give his last name, Smith. "After a moment, the police officer rolled him back over, got on his mic, then rolled over back on the ground besides the guy."
Authorities have not identified the suspect or the person who shot him and it was unclear if charges would be sought. WINK reportd that the suspect was armed and the bystander who shot him possesed a concealed weapons license.
WINK identified the deputy as Dean Bardes, a 12-year veteran of the Lee County Sheriff's Office. He was briefly hospitalized with minor injuries, but later released
The southbound off-ramp at Exit 123 was reopened Monday evening after being closed for several hours while investigators worked the scene.

We will have to wait until the races of the police officer, shooter, and dead person are released. Only then can BLM and other groups decide whether to riot or not.

[WASHINGTONTIMES] Add Lena Dunham to the list of anti-Trump celebrities who won’t be moving to Canada after all.
Miss Dunham, star of the HBO comedy series "Girls," took to Instagram to slam those calling for her to make good on her promise to leave the country if Republican Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... won the presidency.
"And for those demanding I move to Canada based on something I said when this man seemed like a steak salesman with a long shot at the presidency: stay busy reveling in your new regime," she said in a Friday post.
"I will go many places during my lifetime, surrounded by kindreds on a mission to spread justice and light. I can’t wait for all of this, and for the change to come, as we use what we’ve been given to protect those who can’t protect themselves," she added. "What are you living for?"
Miss Dunham, one of Mr. Trump’s most outspoken and visible critics, said at the Matrix Awards in April that she had plans to move to Vancouver in the event of a Trump win.
"I know a lot of people have been threatening to do this, but I really will. I know a lovely place in Vancouver," she told award ceremony host Andy Cohen.

Just tell her that the Hale Bob comet is coming around again. She sounds like one of those believers. She'll 'self-deport'.
More than half of the anti-Trump protesters arrested in Portland didn't vote in Oregon, according to state election records.
At least sixty-nine demonstrators either didn't turn in a ballot or weren't registered to vote in the state.
KGW compiled a list of the 112 people arrested by the Portland Police Bureau during recent protests. Those names and ages, provided by police, were then compared to state voter logs by Multnomah County Elections officials.
Records show 34 of the protesters arrested didn't return a ballot for the November 8 election. Thirty-five of the demonstrators taken into custody weren't registered to vote in Oregon.
So either they have been bused in out of state... or they really are idiot snowflakes.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The land-locked Saudi capital Riyadh has long been culturally conservative in comparison to other areas in the kingdom requiring its women to cover their faces with what it is known as niqab.
But women there no longer feel fully obliged to move around its streets covering their faces - except their eyes - with a veil known as the niqab, now considered by many as non-mandatory requirement in Islam anyways.
Instead, more and more women are opting to wear the Islamic veil that covers the hair known as hijab, sometimes even with strands of their hair showing, combined with colorful abayas or cloaks instead of the traditional black color.

Yemen war is escalating, they need more sandbags.
North Korean officials are pleading with their counterparts in China to stop calling North Korean President Kim Jong-un fat, according to The Sun newspaper in the U.K.
The dictator has gained more than 80 pounds in recent years, prompting such derogatory nicknames in Chinese media as Jin San Pang, meaning "Kim Fatty III," Jin Pang Pang ("Kim Fat Fatty") and Jin San Fei ("Kim Abundant III.")
The Sun quotes Hong Kong's Apple Daily as saying North Korean government officials are asking their closest ally to knock it off over fears Kim will look for someone to blame. Kim's anger reportedly has led to death sentences among his top officials. Oh my. I hadn't given this any thought. I'm not sure whether this is a bad thing to be avoided or a good thing to be taken advantage of.
The Sun earlier reported that North Korean scientists were developing a drug that could reduce weight without diet or exercise. If His Abundance pulls this off, he will go from reviled to revered overnight worldwide.
And it isn't the first time North Korea has demanded their leader not be mocked. In 2014, North Korean diplomats demanded a London barber remove a poster from his window that featured a picture of Kim's odd coiffure with the slogan "Having a bad hair day?"
British officials told the North Koreans citizens in free countries are free to insult their own or foreign leaders.
The hacking of Sony Pictures was blamed on North Korea's anger over the comedy film "The Interview" which depicted Kim being assassinated by characters played by Seth Rogen and James Franco.

[Wash Times] Former Rep. Mike Rogers abruptly exited President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team Tuesday at the urging of team members, according to multiple reports.
The Michigan Republican formerly served as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. He was serving the transition team’s national security advisor and was believed to be a frontrunner to head up the CIA in the Trump administration.
But transition team members asked him to step aside, Bloomberg News first reported.
"These past six months, it has been an honor to serve as National Security Senior Advisor to the Trump transition team," Mr. Rogers said in a statement.
"Our work will provide a strong foundation for the new transition team leadership as they move into the post-election phase, which naturally is incorporating the campaign team in New York who drove President-elect Trump to an incredible victory last Tuesday," he said.
Mr. Rogers said that he was handing off his duties to Vice President-elect Mike Pence, who is leading the transition team; Rick Dearborn, the executive director of the team; and the Trump family.
[Reuters] Republican President-elect Donald Trump's team has asked the White House to explore the possibility of getting his children top-secret security clearances, CBS News said on Monday, citing unnamed sources.
Daughter Ivanka, sons Eric and Donald Jr. and son-in-law Jared Kushner were close advisers to Trump's campaign and are part of his transition team announced on Friday. The CBS report did not specify for which Trump children top-secret clearance was being sought.

No, no! It's because he wants them to be part of the government! But that's unconstitutional! He wants to be king, and his family princes/potentates!

Mrs. Conspiracy went a little nutz upon hearing this. I explained to her that The President is allowed to run his/her show as they see fit, including management structure and whom they select as advisers.
#10
Kellyanne Conway has called shenanigans, saying "someone" merely made a general inquiry.
The only issue that I see with granting said clearances is the Trump campaign promise that he would remove himself from the day-to-day involvement in his businesses, instead giving his kids management responsibilities without his involvement.
If his kids get security clearances, the only solution, as I see it, would be a blind trust for his businesses. Doubt this would fly.
[GP] This weekend British Ukip leader Nigel Farage told reporters Donald Trump will re-install the bust of Churchill into the Oval Office.
Express.co reported:
NIGEL FARAGE has revealed that Donald Trump will re-install a bust of Winston Churchill removed from the Oval Office by Barack Obama ‐ in a clear sign of the friendship the new President wishes to foster with Britain.
The interim Ukip leader said Mr Trump has already pushed Britain to the front of the queue for a favourable trade relationship and added that he is the man to forge stronger ties with the US as he flew to visit the business tycoon in his first days as President Elect.
Mr Farage said: "We talked about the prospect of the United Kingdom being at the front of the queue, all of which was met positively."
His comments come after outgoing President Barack Obama told the UK earlier this year that its decision to leave the EU meant it would be at the "back of the queue" for trade talks.
The Ukip leader described Donald Trump as an "anglophile" and said his re-installation of the Churchill statue was a clear sign of his appreciation for the historically warm relationship between the allies.

[DAWN] Police officials on Monday reportedly manhandled and dragged disabled persons to clear the route for a government official during a protest demonstration in the Hockey Chowk area of Quetta.
The disabled persons were demanding the provincial government to ensure implementation of disabled persons quota in government services and were also demanding a special package for them.
"Four to five of our colleagues were maimed by the police," said Izatullah, the head of voice for disabled person in Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... .
He added the police dragged him on the road to clear the route for a senior government official.
Another protester, Asmatullah, said they were tortured without any justification.
The disabled persons have been protesting for five months to press the authorities for acceptance of their demands.

[BBC] India is in the middle of an extraordinary economic experiment.
On 8 November, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave only four hours' notice that virtually all the cash in the world's seventh-largest economy would be effectively worthless.
The Indian government likes to use the technical term "demonetisation" to describe the move, which makes it sound rather dull. It isn't. This is the economic equivalent of "shock and awe".
Do not believe reports that this is primarily about bribery or terror financing, the real target is tax evasion and the policy is very daring indeed.
You can see the effects outside every bank in the country. I am in Tamil Nadu in the south of India and here, as in every other state in the country, queues of people clutching wads of currency stretch halfway down the street.

[DCClothesline] And this call to protest Donald Trump’s inauguration appears to have originated with a Marxist politician out in Seattle... Well, if they're wearing all black, it should be easy to identify them and offer them a, er, safe space while they deal with their emotions.
According to the article, the Marxist politician is also a member of George Soros's Occupy Wall Street group. And according to the Washington Times, The Answer Coalition, which we used to know as the Stalinist "anti-war" group International A.N.S.W.E.R. (which stood for something not worth remembering), is leading the ritual lawsuit to expand protest areas along the parade route, to be taken from areas reserved for those celebrating the inauguration.
Mr. Soros wants his own party that day, and is willing to pay for it.

Effectively, they will be marching in support of Trump's 2020 reelection. Outside of the rioters' own little echo chambers, a lot of "normal" citizens just look at the destructive mob and say/think "Whatever these losers are against, is probably worthy of my support."

Actually an opportunity. Only take one dollar a year in salary, how about a really toned down inauguration? Short TV appearance, live from the Trump Towers, before the nation, then a 'Its time to get down to business. We have a lot of work to do now. We're 19 trillion dollars in debt. No time for play'.
#12
Trump should invite minority leaders, make the inauguration about them (rather than white coastal elites), about economic equality and all that, and make the protesters look the fool.

Can't wait to see code pinksters marching with signs that say "Hands Off Our Wars!!!"

These astroturfed "protests" just reaffirm my choice to vote for Trump-- and reaffirm my belief that progressives are either stupid, or crazy, or evil.

I'd like to see all chapters of the Hells Angels, the Outlaws and the Bandidos show up as well. If they're looking for a fight, I say give them a fight.
[NewsFoxes.com] Speaking with Who Radio's Simon Conway, Kaufman [Chairman of the Iowa House Oversight Committee] explained his plan to co-sponsor the "SUCK IT UP, BUTTERCUP" bill. The proposed legislation would identify the monies spent by state by state schools on activities deemed to be a waste of money. The state would then penalize those schools by cutting triple the amount of money wasted from the 2017 budget.

It's a good start.
What's needed is to cut off funding for all the unecessary spongers off the taxpayer. Then return the savings to taxpayers as a refund would make it very popular.

The existing policies in universities encourage bad behavior. Free speech, Yes. Whining, molly-coddled lefty cry babies, No.
University administrator pay should be contingent upon not encouraging this bad behavior. One problem is that large universities have become microcosms of Federal government and its left-leaning policies.

Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
