[FOX] Former United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Joe DiGenova slammed FBI Director James Comey as "a danger to the country."
DiGenova, who served under President Reagan, said Comey's narcissism led him to take unnecessary and troubling steps during the Hillary Clinton email probe.
He said Comey should have been fired after his 2016 news conference in which he announced he would not recommend Clinton's prosecution.

He's a Clinton operative. The Beest's recent mud slinging and Comey blame for her election loss is little more than distancing and cover for action. He's beginning to talk in circles and more frequently lowering the 'cone of silence' ["I can't talk about that here" or there, or anywhere]. His #2 and horse holder Deputy Director Andrew McCabe should have been run off as well.
This Comey 'can't discuss it here' line should be put to the test. Ok you SOB, cone of silence again is it? Everyone, 15 min pi** break and we're reconvening in the SCIF.

Try Heyjackass.com for the latest numbers. CPD is roughly 3000 officers short, prison sentences in Illinois are 50% off, and the city, county and state are broke, broke, broke. Think Puerto Rico is a mess, just wait til the Democrat Party Paradise hits bankruptcy court.

This article from a year ago uses 2011 stats when 433 people were murdered. Last year 800 people in Chicago were murdered. (Thanks Obama, mmm, mmm.)
32.9% Black or African American
28.9% Hispanic or Latino population of
31.7% non-Hispanic whites
5.5% Asian
0.5% American Indian
2.7% two or more races;
* Total 102.2% due to those who identify as two or more races.
I.e. The 38.2% percent of the population who identify as non-black and non-Hispanic account for only 41(5%) of the murder victims and 6(4%) of the identified murderers in Chicago.

[Ynet] Despite official denials from the Egyptian military, an ISIS-affiliated group in North Sinai has become overt in threatening the local population; Christians are targeted and women are told to cover up or have acid thrown in their faces, while collaborators with Israel are also persecuted.
One Monday in early April, Shaher Saeed was driving south of the city of Arish in Egypt's North Sinai when he came upon a group of ISIS snuffies who had stopped a truck carrying cigarettes.
"I saw them forcing the driver from the vehicle and stripping the upper part of his clothing before tying him to the door of one of their cars," said Saeed, who lives in the area. "They hit him on the back more than 10 times, then burned all the cartons of cigarettes ... They let him go after warning him not to trade cigarettes again."

[DAWN] SIX years from the shocking episode, and in the midst of today’s turmoil over national security, Minister of State for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb has bluntly rejected the possibility of making public the Abbottabad ... A pleasant city located only 30 convenient miles from Islamabad. The city is noted for its nice weather and good schools. It is the site of Pakistain's military academy, which was within comfortable walking distance of the residence of the late Osama bin Laden.... Commission report. Ms Aurangzeb did suggest that, at some indeterminate point in the future, a government may decide to release the commission report, but made it clear that the so-called sensitive nature of the report would have to be kept in mind before publication. The minister’s remarks appear to be in line with official thinking on the matter and are highly regrettable. There were two questions at the heart of the Abbottabad episode. One, how was the world’s most-wanted terrorist, leader of Al Qaeda, the late Osama bin Laden ... who is now neither a strong horse nor a weak horse, but a dead horse... , able to live undetected in Abbottabad for many years?
A very good question, indeed.
Two, how was the US military able to insert troops deep inside Pakistain; conduct an operation on the ground in a major town far from an international border; and withdraw its troops several hours later without being detected or challenged by the Pak security forces at any stage, in any place, on ground or in the air?
That one is easy. American Special Forces are like unto ghosts in the night -- unseen, unheard, and unfelt until they choose to make their presence known. When you see nothing to trouble or concern you, at that moment you know you have been outflanked and encircled, your next breath to be allowed or withheld as they choose. Who but they (or the Indians) could have outmaneuvered the Army of the pure so completely?
To those two fundamental questions, a third must be added: was anyone held responsible for the sanctuaries Bin Laden was able to find in Pakistain for many years and for the inability to detect or stop a major US incursion on Pak soil?
With the first two questions unanswered, or perhaps with the answers buried in the secret Abbottabad Commission report, the question of public accountability is impossible to answer. Therein lies the real threat to national security: how can Pakistain be made more secure and its people safer if the state is unwilling to acknowledge its failures, explain what went wrong, determine who was at fault, identify who is to be held responsible and clarify what steps have been taken to prevent a repetition of a convulsive episode? In the US, the events of Sept 11 led to a 9/11 commission report that exhaustively detailed both the attacks and the institutional failures that allowed the attacks to happen. As a result, wide-ranging intelligence and security changes were made in the US, including the creation of a cabinet-level Department of Homeland Security. Fifteen and a half years later, there has not been another attack inside the US that has remotely approached the scale of the 9/11 destruction.
Can any reasonable citizen of Pakistain or observer of the state claim with any degree of confidence that the country has been secured from a repeat of an episode like May 2, 2011? The problem is really of institutional culture and a resistance to change and censure. From the Hamoodur Rehman commission to the inquiry into the Salala attacks, a culture of secrecy has dominated. If Pakistain is to have stronger institutions, transparency and accountability must be embraced.

[FIRST POST] India’s biggest cattle loss is the male of the species.
The country had 19 percent fewer male indigenous cattle in 2012 as against 2007, according to the 19th livestock census. In the same span, the number of male crossbred/exotic cattle fell by 12 percent. Female indigenous cattle saw a marginal 0.01 percent drop in number while the number of female exotic/crossbred cattle grew in double-digits.
The acute falling trend in the number of male cattle can be traced back to decades ago. According to a 2016 research paper by Dr Akila Natarajan, Relevance of draught cattle power and its future prospects in India: A review, in 1972, India had 73.2 million working cattle (mostly male) which dwindled to 53.3 million by 2007. And the steep fall is despite the fact that all this while, most Indian states had some sort of cow protection law in force.

If Saudi Arabia can buy interest in, then just buy, US refineries, I wonder if I can't get India to pre-buy some of my calves with the promise of me raising them to happy adulthood?
