[Breitbart] A Chicago teenager has been arrested and accused of torturing an animal after he posted a video on Facebook showing him allegedly pouring boiling water on a cat.
After the video went viral on Tuesday, February 2, Chicago Police arrested Leon Teague charging him with a felony count of animal torture and a misdemeanor count of depicting animal cruelty (the video).
In a statement, Chicago Police said Teague, 18, was identified as the person who "deliberately scalded a cat with a hot liquid." Proving once again that urban gang violence and shootings are a 'gateway' to more heinous criminal activity.
[Examiner] Criminal networks with Latin American roots, such as MS-13 and the 18th Street gang, are using the administration's open-door policy at the border to slip in recruits that are causing a huge spike in murder and violence throughout the nation, according to an immigration expert.
Testifying Thursday at a House hearing on the border surge of young Latinos, the expert said, "Established gangs have been able to transfer an unknown number of experienced foot soldiers from Central America to help colonize new criminal territory in the United States."
Jessica M. Vaughan, the policy director for the Center for Immigration Studies, told the House Judiciary Committee's Immigration and Border Security subcommittee that "the tide of new young people, many of whom have already been exposed or involved in street gangs at home, has provided a huge pool of new recruits for the gangs here. Gangs such as MS-13 and 18th Street are enjoying a brutal revival in certain parts of the country and are establishing themselves in new places."
[BALTIMORESUN] Harford County's school system has banned field trips to Baltimore indefinitely, citing safety concerns following the unrest over the death of Freddie Gray and the subsequent trials of coppers charged in his death. So much for the National Aquarium. Do they still have the one in the basement at the Commerce Department building in DC?
City leaders called the decision misguided and ill-informed, saying it denies Harford schoolchildren cultural, educational and recreational opportunities and reinforces negative stereotypes about the city. "Tut tut! We got lotsa white children come here. Most of 'em don't get shot up, no matter how great their privilege!"
"When I heard about this continuing ban on school travel to Baltimore, I was, frankly, totally flummoxed. It seems so outrageous as to be actually sad," said Del. Brooke Lierman, a Baltimore Democrat. A Democrat. In Bladymore. Feature that!
"Harford County Public Schools is doing an enormous disservice to its students and families with this bizarre policy." Harford County, like most non-urban areas of Maryland, is mostly populated by whats known within Baldymore as "crackas."
Harford school administrators had extended their initial spring suspension of school trips and made it indefinite on Jan. 11. City leaders scoffed at the idea that Baltimore isn't safe for children to visit. "Tut tut, m'good man! Tell them to come and to bring money!"
"We are afraid the lesson being taught to the children of Harford County is to fear the city, and that is disappointing," said Howard Libit, a front man for Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.

"Harford County Public Schools is doing an enormous disservice to its students and families with this bizarre policy."
There's an entire nation worth of students not even near Baltimore who'll never get a school trip into the city. I doubt they're suffering a disservice by that non-existant opportunity.
"We are afraid the lesson being taught to the children of Harford County is to fear the city, and that is disappointing,"
Fear is a basic human instinct when founded upon rational circumstances provides for longer life and reproduction of the species.
[BALTIMORESUN] Three men were shot inside a bar and a 27-year-old bystander was seriously injured in a hit-and-run in two separate, unrelated incidents that occured overnight in Fells Point, the Baltimore Police Department said Saturday. They're unrelated in the sense that the car wasn't the getaway car from the restaurant shootings. Fells Point is a trendè neighborhood located near the water. You probably can't afford to live there.
The events — one of which was captured on a gruesome video that circulated widely on social media — left the historic neighborhood, known for its shopping, restaurants and bars, and nightlife, in shock over the level of violence that occured within blocks of each other and less than an hour apart. That happens when you've got a city administration oozing utter contempt for the police.
"It's horrifying. You never would imagine something like this happening," said Kelley Heuisler, who owns a boutique in Fells Point near where the hit-and-run occurred. That's because you're a silly woman who expects city services in a predominantly white area. Police spokesman TJ Smith said officers have arrested the man suspected of being the driver in the hit-and-run, which occurred about 2:15 a.m. and was captured in what Smith described as "an absolutely horrific and disgusting video." Back in the old days there probably wouldn't have been a video, no matter how horrific and disgusting, unless there'd been a TV crew on site, and it probably wouldn't have run if there had been.
The video shows a minivan in the 700 block of South Broadway trying to flee two assailants by ramming into nearby cars and reversing wildly onto a sidewalk. The assailants opened the doors of the van and tried to get inside to get to him. I'da probably made the same sort of departure.
Video has emerged from a wild crash scene in Fells Point from some time early Saturday on Broadway near Fleet Street. Police said it is unrelated to a triple shooting at a nearby restaurant. "Nope. Nope. Mere coincidence. We got lotsa thuggery and none of it's related."
The van struck a 27-year-old woman who had just left a nearby bar, which police did not identify. She is in the hospital with serious injuries, including broken ribs and skull fractures, Smith said. "Minivan, don't fail me now! [CRUNCH!] Oops sorry, lady! Get outta my car! [THUMP!] [REVERSE!] [CRUNCH!] Oops! Sorry again!... [THUMP!]... Get outta my car!... [SCREECH!]"
Officers arrested Orlando Redd, 37, of Parkville, "Stick 'em up, Orlando of Parkville!"
a few blocks away, Smith said. Redd, who police was under the influence of alcohol at the time, was charged with assault, malicious destruction of property and counts of endangerment, and was issued numerous traffic citations, police said. "Ummm... That pile of citations is a foot and a half high!"
"Shuddup, Orlando!... 'Leavin' the scene of an accident...'"
"They were tryin' to kill me! They were in my car!"
"Shuddup, Orlando. The Baldymore Po-lice have you in its clutches, not them!"
"Go catch 'em! Put 'em in the paddy wagon!"
Police are working to determine if additional charges are warranted "...mopery... dopery... slopery..."
"With intent, sergeant. With intent."
and are seeking information about the assailants. "Really we are."
They do not know what started the incident, Smith said. He said no other serious injuries have been reported, calling that a "blessing." I have never in my life heard a police officer call something a "blessing."
"You see that chaotic scene play out and you just hold your breath," he said. "We're fortunate that we're not talking about a much larger tragedy as a result of these reckless acts." Wow. Tut-tuttery in blue!
On Saturday morning, parts of Dogwatch Tavern — in the path of the van when it jumped a curb in reverse — were boarded up, as passersby peered at the remnants of the crash. "Look at dat!... Yow! Look out!"
Police are also looking for information connected to the violence that happened blocks away inside the Santa Clara bar and restaurant, in which two men opened fire, shooting three people — two in the head. "Oh, yeah. Dat, too."
Homicide detectives were investigating Saturday morning. On Saturday afternoon, two of the men who were shot in the head remained in the hospital, one with life-threatening injuries, the other in stable condition. The third, who was shot in the foot, declined treament. "I got nuttin' to say!"
"But..."
"Talk to da foot!"
Police did not identify anyone involved in the incident, which occurred about 1:30 a.m. inside the restaurant, located at Fleet and Bond streets. Police said they did not have information about the motives of the shooters, who fled in a dark-colored vehicle. "Into da car!"
"To da mattresses!"
"To Greenmount Avenue!"
The Santa Clara bar and restaurant was open Saturday, but those inside said they weren't there when the incident unfolded. The owner was not available for comment.

We have reached a point where I cannot automatically tell if regular joe's comment is real or snarking on the Harford County Cancels Bus Trips topic.

Assumes the US Military controls the airspace and can react to the correct axis of attack. Also assumes advancing enemy scouts or infantry don't discover these systems first. I loved watching the thing retrieving it's own parachute canopy. I had to wonder if it repacked the chute as well.

And then the video ends it up with ads from RT (Russia Today) networks.
Not holding my breath.

2 problems with the concept as shown on the video:
1)The video shows the shells blasting straight through the reactive armor. Not clear that is going to happen.
2)The Armata has a defensive system specifically designed to shoot down/destroy any projectile approaching too quickly. Our only protection against the Armata is it's too complicated to build in large numbers.

re RT - perhaps Russian engines in everything? Paging ULA and Lockmart on the courtesy phone.

All those rocket systems would need to be communicating with each other and the overhead drone. Even if you can't crack the encryption, you will know they are there.
Looks like the Communist in Chief is doing the best he can to screw this country into the ground by all means possible.
The Pentagon is ordering the top brass to incorporate climate change into virtually everything they do, from testing weapons to training troops to war planning to joint exercises with allies.
A new directive's theme: The U.S. Armed Forces must show "resilience" and beat back the threat based on "actionable science."
It says the military will not be able to maintain effectiveness unless the directive is followed. It orders the establishment of a new layer of bureaucracy -- a wide array of "climate change boards, councils and working groups" to infuse climate change into "programs, plans and policies."
The Pentagon defines resilience to climate change as: "Ability to anticipate, prepare for, and adapt to changing conditions and withstand, respond to, and recover rapidly from disruptions."
To four-star generals and admirals, among them the regional combatant commanders who plan and fight the nation's wars, the directive tells them: "Incorporate climate change impacts into plans and operations and integrate DoD guidance and analysis in Combatant Command planning to address climate change-related risks and opportunities across the full range of military operations, including steady-state campaign planning and operations and contingency planning."
The directive, "Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience," is in line with President Obama's view that global warming is the country's foremost national security threat, or close to it. Mr. Obama says there is no debate on the existence of man-made global warming and its ensuing climate change. Supporters of this viewpoint label as "deniers" any scientists who disagree.
But there are stubborn doubters. A climate center in Colorado has said its researchers looked at decades of weather reports and concluded there has been no uptick in storms. The United Nations came to a similar finding, saying there is not enough evidence to confirm an increase in droughts and floods.
A previous Pentagon report on climate change attributed Super Storm Sandy to climate change.
Dakota Wood, a retired Marine Corps officer and U.S. Central Command planner, said the Pentagon is introducing climate change, right down to military tactics level.
"By equating tactical actions of immediate or short-term utility with large-scale, strategic-level issues of profound importance, the issue of climate change and its potential impact on national security interests is undermined," he said. "People tend to dismiss the whole, what might be truly important, because of all the little silly distractions that are included along the way."
He said climate change is typically measured in long stretches of time.
"The climate does change over great periods of time, typically measured in millennia, though sometimes in centuries," he said. "But the document mentions accounting for such down to the level of changes in 'tactics, techniques and procedures' as if reviewing how a squad conducts a patrol should be accorded the same level of importance and attention as determining whether the naval base at Norfolk, Virginia, might have to be relocated as sea levels rise over the next 100 years."
Multipoint strategy
The directive originated in the office of Frank Kendall, undersecretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics. Final approval came from Deputy Defense Secretary Robert O. Work.
The directive is loaded with orders to civilian leaders and officers on specifically how counter-climate change strategy is to permeate planning.
"This involves deliberate preparation, close cooperation, and coordinated planing by DoD to provide for the continuity of DoD operations, services and programs," it states.
"The DoD must be able to adapt current and future operations to address the impacts of climate change in order to maintain an effective and efficient U.S. military," it adds. "Mission planning and execution must include anticipating and managing any risks that develop as a result of climate change to build resilience."
Climate change must be integrated in:
⢠Weapons buying and testing "across the life cycle of weapons systems, platforms and equipment."
⢠Training ranges and capabilities.
⢠Defense intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance.
⢠Defense education and training.
⢠Combatant commander joint training with allies to "assess the risks to U.S. security interests posed by climate change."
⢠Joint Chiefs of Staff collaboration "with allies and partners to optimize joint exercises and war games including factors contributing to geopolitical and socioeconomic instability."
Mr. Wood, now a military analyst at The Heritage Foundation, said the directive is muddled.
"I understand the motivation behind and intent for such guidance," he said. "The problem is that it includes such a wide variety of issues with no explication or context that enables the offices mentioned to differentiate and prioritize activities and efforts across time or intensity."
'A lack of evidence'
The Department of Defense last issued a broad directive on climate change in July. It declared climate change an "urgent and growing threat to our national security" and blamed it for "increased natural disasters."
The report also told commanders there are "more frequent and/or severe extreme weather events that may require substantial involvement of DoD units, personnel and assets in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief
This assertion is not supported by the U.N.'s most recent global warming predictions.
Roger Pielke Jr., a professor of environmental studies at the Center for Science and Technology Police Research at the University of Colorado, also has come to conclusions at odds with the Obama administration. He has testified on Capitol Hill, clashing with liberals who say his data are wrong.
"Current datasets indicate no significant observed trends in global tropical cyclone frequency over the past century," he wrote in 2013. "No robust trends in annual numbers of tropical storms, hurricanes and major hurricanes counts have been identified over the past 100 years in the North Atlantic basin.
"In summary, there continues to be a lack of evidence and thus low confidence regarding the sign of trend in the magnitude and/or frequency of floods on a global scale."
Rep. Raul M. Grijalva, Arizona Democrat, tried to silence Mr. Pielke by unleashing allegations and starting an investigation.
Fellow scientists have come to Mr. Pielke's defense and accused Democrats of violating academic freedom.
"Congressman Grijalva doesn't have any evidence of any wrongdoing on my part, either ethical or legal, because there is none," Mr. Pielke wrote on a blog. "He simply disagrees with the substance of my testimony -- which is based on peer-reviewed research funded by the U.S. taxpayer, and which also happens to be the consensus of the IPCC."
The IPCC is the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
"I have no funding, declared or undeclared, with any fossil fuel company or interest. I never have. Rep. Grijalva knows this too, because when I have testified before the U.S. Congress, I have disclosed my funding and possible conflicts of interest," Mr. Pielke said. "So I know with complete certainty that this investigation is a politically motivated 'witch hunt' designed to intimidate me [and others] and to smear my name."

1960's-1970's = 2016 Guam Taotamonas on the mark again.
Truth be told, even naval ship designs must change ala Anti-Solar/GWCC. Iff Americans ever thought the LCS' final design was weird, they taint seen nuthin yet.

Incorporating "Energy Conservation" into US military planning(including garrison operations) has been a requirement since the start of the 1980's.
"Climate change" is a scam and a waste of time. But all levels of the military should just dust off their energy conservation plans, edit a bit to turn them into "climate change abatement" plans (or whatever they will call it), and joke about it at the O-Club.
Hopefully, all they have to do is wait eleven months until someone with a clue takes over the Oval Office, and starts shit-canning all the progressive time-waster requirements,

It orders the establishment of a new layer of bureaucracy -- a wide array of "climate change boards, councils and working groups" to infuse climate change into "programs, plans and policies."
Power and control are the objectives. 'Climate change' little more than the spanner.

That would put a crimp into night operations but worth it to fight climate change.~

Well, the "Pentagon" can not order anything... But, liberal hacks like Frank Kendall (Deputy something or other from AT&L) can issue meaningless directives. Good old Frank, do-gooder atty from Amnesty Intl first told us how wrong we are in GTMO, now is trying to save our Military from climate change. He has no real accomplishments...and is a failure as a liberal good idea fairy - boot his ass outta office on day one of the coming Republican Admin. What a fool.

The new president will have to do a major purge of the upper ranks of the military. Obumble has done his best to transform them into worthless yes men and destroy our military.
#18
Start by politely asking general McChrystal if he would consider coming back as Chairman JCS. The new president is going to need the best advice possible.

McChrystal was an Obama suck...and it didn't work out for him. He is the last guy we need back. We need GEN Mattis or ADM McRaven.

Great! So we can nuke every jihadi hotbed from Marrakesh to Islamabad, kick up a big ass nuclear winter, and take a chunk out of Islamofascism all at the same time? Sounds like a win-win!
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
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
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
