[FOXNEWS] The written contents of an envelope containg a white powder received Monday by 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... Jr.’s wife said the president's son would get what he "deserves," the NYPD confirmed to Fox News on Tuesday.
"You’re an awful person and now you get what you deserve," the threatening note read, according to police.
President Trump’s daughter-in-law, Vanessa, opened the letter addressed to her husband around 10 a.m. She was subsequently taken to the hospital as a precaution, along with two others, police said.
"You are not the worst president in history", perhaps?

TW, a report came out yesterday or this a.m. about the white substance sent to the Trump, Jr. residence. It was analyzed as cornstarch. There was a note also shown that appeared to be in a scrawl that looked like a little kid's.
I'm surprised it wasn't coke going to the "O" home via the mails.
[CBSNEWS] An off-duty police officer was shot and killed at the James R. Thompson Center in downtown reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,... on Tuesday afternoon, authorities said. The officer was later identified as 53-year-old Cmdr. Paul Bauer of the city's 18th District.
Tactical officers were on routine patrol Tuesday and observed an "individual" acting suspiciously around 2:30 p.m. When they tried speak with the individual, a physical struggle ensued and the person escaped, Chicago Police Department Superintendent Eddie Johnson said during a news conference.
Bauer, a 31-year veteran, was in the area, overheard police radio transmission and confronted the individual, Johnson said. An armed physical confrontation ensued and Bauer was shot multiple times, he added.
Johnson said the suspect is in jug and police have recovered the weapon.
"I ask the citizens of this city keep the Bauer family in their prayers," Johnson said, adding that he would meet with his wife and daughter. "It's a difficult day for us. We will get through it. I ask the city for their thoughts and prayers -- any loss of life is tragic."
Witnesses told CBS Chicago that coppers warned residents to get off the streets shortly after shots were fired, and began blocking off the streets and entrances to the Thompson Center.
"They actually had us locked in Walgreens," one person in the area said. "They taped it off, so we couldn't get out. Just for a minute, and then they all hopped in their cop cars, and they all went south on Clark."

[RADIOSHABELLE] A fight has erupted between Somalia’s security forces established for disarming within the city of Mogadishu and armed military officers in Dharkenley district on Tuesday.
The confrontation broke out after the newly formed Mogadishu Stabilization unit forces tried to disarm military soldiers in an area near Ex-control Afgoye checkpoint.
The military personnel resisted the order and it has led to the fight between the two sides, according to the eyewitnesses who spoke to Radio Shabelle by phone.
At least soldier lost his life in the clash while six others from both sides have sustained wounds in the shootout.
Residents said the fighting was terrifying. Somali security officials are yet to comment on the battle between the troops within Somali armed forces.
The weak UN-backed government is now battling the Al Qaeda-linked Al-Shabaab ... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... , but many members of its security forces are badly trained and coordination is poor.

[Telegraph] A former British Army soldier who joined Kurdish forces to fight Islamic State group extremists is to be charged with terrorism offences in the first case of its kind.
James Matthews will appear in court to face a charge of attending a terrorist training camp, Scotland Yard said.
The 43-year-old had returned to Britain to attend the funeral last week of Jac Holmes, a fellow British volunteer fighting with the Kurds who was killed in Raqqa in late 2017.
Counter terrorism sources said the charges against Matthews were the first of their kind, but denied they heralded a change in policy towards those fighting against Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (Isil).
While there has been public sympathy for the ragtag band of volunteers who have joined the Kurdish YPG militia fighting Isil, the UK authorities say the battle-hardened volunteers may still be vulnerable to radicalisation and potentially pose a security risk.
Turkey also says the YPG is linked to the PKK separatist group which is proscribed n the UK.
Sources said returning volunteers were being investigated on a case-by-case basis. Several have been arrested and questioned on their return.
Matthews is believed to have served several years with the British Army in the 1990s and deployed to Bosnia. He joined the YPG in 2015 and has since served three tours with the militia group, specialising in clearing mines and booby-traps, Kurdish sources told the Telegraph. No charges for the 400 who returned to England after fighting for ISIS.
[Al Ahram] Police investigating an incident in Britain's parliament on Tuesday were dealing with a suspect package, news website MailOnline said, citing witnesses. Earlier, a spokesperson for the lower house of the legislature said police were investigating an incident but provided no further details.
[IsraelTimes] London police say a white powder found inside a suspicious package sent to Parliament is not harmful.
The determination was made after the powder was investigated by specialists.
Parliament was not evacuated or placed in a lockdown after the suspicious package was discovered Tuesday morning but the office that received it has been closed. British authorities didn’t identify that office.
Police counterterrorism detectives are investigating the incident.

[FOXNEWS] The convicted terrorist who planted two pressure-cooker bombs on New York City streets -- including one that injured 30 people with a rain of shrapnel when it detonated -- was sentenced Tuesday to multiple life terms in prison.
...the naturalized Afghan known wolf (another who came as a result of chain migration, after his father received asylum) who didn’t get to die a martyr in a hail of bullets as planned after planting bombs in Manhattan and New Jersey. He was inspired by ISIS and Al Qaeda, and trained in a Taliban feeder madrassa in Pakistan. After his second stay there, his father reported him to the FBI, who were not suffciently impressed. In the early days of the investigation his name was given as Ahmad Khan Rahami and Ahmad Khan Rahmani...
, 29, was convicted in October of planting pressure-cooker bombs in New York and New Jersey on Sept. 17, 2016.
The blast in New York City happened hours after a small pipe bomb went off during a Marine Corps 5K run in Seaside Heights, N.J. No one was injured in that kaboom because the race had been delayed. A subsequent two-day manhunt ended in a shootout with police in New Jersey, where Rahimi was shot several times. No police were maimed.
Federal prosecutors said Rahimi has not shown remorse since his arrest, and has tried to radicalize fellow prisoners at the federal jail in New York.
"He is proud of what he did, scornful of the American justice system, and as dedicated as ever to his terrorist ideology," they wrote.
When asked to speak at his sentencing Tuesday, Rahimi said he doesn't "harbor hate for anyone."

[Ynet] A US military drone aircraft destroyed a Russian-made T-72 tank in Syria over the weekend, US officials said on Tuesday, in the second defensive strike against pro-Syrian government forces in less than a week.
No US-led coalition or coalition-backed local forces were killed in the strike by a US MQ-9 Reaper drone, which took place near Al Tabiyeh, Syria, on Sunday.
Lieutenant General Jeffrey Harrigian, top US Air Force general in the Middle East, declined in a briefing with news hounds to speculate on who was driving the tank. One US official, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... , said at least two pro-Syrian government forces were killed.
The US military said it destroyed the tank after it moved within firing range of the US-backed forces while being supported by artillery fire.
