[Breitbart] Undercover investigator David Daleiden tells CNN the reason StemExpress is trying to suppress the video he took of its CEO on May 22 is because the company doesn't want anyone to know it bought whole intact dead babies from Planned Parenthood.
Daleiden said on CNN, "In a meeting with their top leadership, they admitted that they sometimes get fully intact fetuses shipped to their laboratory from the abortion clinics they work with, and that could be prima facie evidence of born alive infants. And so that's why they're trying to suppress that videotape and they're very scared of it."

[BIGSTORY.AP.ORG] Baltimore reached a grim milestone on Friday, three months after riots erupted in response to the death of Freddie Gray in police custody: With 45 homicides in July, the city has seen more bloodshed in a single month than it has in 43 years.
Police reported three deaths -- two men shot Thursday and one on Friday. The men died at local hospitals.
With their deaths, this year's homicides reached 189, far outpacing the 119 killings by July's end in 2014. Nonfatal shootings have soared to 366, compared to 200 by the same date last year. July's total was the worst since the city recorded 45 killings in August 1972, according to The Baltimore Sun.
The seemingly Sisyphean task of containing the city's violence prompted Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to fire her police commissioner, Anthony Batts, on July 8.
"Too many continue to die on our streets," Rawlings-Blake said then. "Families are tired of dealing with this pain, and so am I. Recent events have placed an intense focus on our police leadership, distracting many from what needs to be our main focus: the fight against crime."
But the killings have not abated under Interim Commissioner Kevin Davis since then.
Baltimore is not unique in its suffering; crimes are spiking in big cities around the country.
But while the city's police are closing cases-- Davis announced arrests in three recent murders several days ago -- the violence is outpacing their efforts. Davis said Tuesday the "clearance rate" is at 36.6 percent, far lower than the department's mid-40s average.
Crime experts and residents of Baltimore's most dangerous neighborhoods cite a confluence of factors: mistrust of the police; generalized anger and hopelessness over a lack of opportunities for young black men; and competition among dealers of illegal drugs, bolstered by the looting of prescription pills from pharmacies during the riot.
Federal drug enforcement agents said gangs targeted 32 pharmacies in the city, taking roughly 300,000 doses of opiates, as the riots caused $9 million in property damage in the city.
Perched on a friend's stoop, Sherry Moore, 55, said she knew "mostly all" of the young men killed recently in West Baltimore, including an 18-year-old fatally shot a half-block away. Moore said many more pills are on the street since the riot, making people wilder than usual.
"The ones doing the violence, the shootings, they're eating Percocet like candy and they're not thinking about consequences. They have no discipline, they have no respect -- they think this is a game. How many can I put down on the East side? How many can I put down on the West side?"
The tally of 42 homicides in May included Gray, who died in April after his neck was broken in police custody. The July tally likewise includes a previous death -- a baby whose death in June was ruled a homicide in July.

Someone needs to start selling the #BlackLivesMatter meme to black people.
You have heretofore read public sentiment in your newspapers that live by falsehood and excitement, and the quicker you seek for truth in other quarters the better for you.

Reality (not to be confuse with the Leftist fantasy narrative) is that all too often in the world the choice is not between good and bad, but between bad and worse. The Left demands perfection of others, but delivers far less themselves. However, they use the 'we meant well' as absolution to the destruction they create.

"Recent events have placed an intense focus on our police leadership, distracting many from what needs to be our main focus: the fight against crime."
Just look it as the "cost of doing business," Yer Mayorship. You're going to get re-elected, right?
[Foxtrot Alpha] It is considered one of the best jobs in the USAF, and you sure can't beat the office view. America's cadre of KC-135 and KC-10 'Booms,' the guys and gals that refuel allied military aircraft while hurtling through the atmosphere, are a proud and talented bunch, and one of them is just as skilled behind a camera as behind an aerial refueling boom.
Technical Sargeant Jamie Morton works in what for many of us aviation nuts is akin to a flying candy factory. At his daily job he gets to see some of the most incredible flying machines on earth, not just on the ground, but rocketing through the air both here at home and high above war zones abroad. Like Willie Wonka, Jamie not only works in this metaphorical candy factory but he also has a flying glass elevator to enjoy the view from.
The throne-like Boom's position below the tail of the KC-10 Extender offers an incredibly unique viewpoint. Where else can you stare through a giant bay window out the back of a fully pressurized, high-flying, wide-body jet. And although watching the ground floating by and the contrails streaming off into infinity is nice, the visitors are an even prettier sight.
Jamie, who grew up in Selma, Alabama, started out as a boom operator at Travis AFB, where he eventually became an instructor Boom and participated on many deployments around the globe. Today he serves as an elite Flight Test Boom Operator at Edwards AFB where he supports some of the world's most advanced aerospace defense programs.
Jamie's ability to not only serve his 'customers' from the tail of a KC-10 Extender, but to also capture them in stunning imagery, is no secret. In fact, he has garnered a unique reputation among the boom operators in combat zones, and the receiving aircraft they refuel, in regards to his outstanding photography skills:
While deployed I began to take pictures of my receivers and to get their email address. I would send the shots I took to them so that they could send them home to their families. It started with just a couple of the receivers and word traveled fast throughout the AOR (Area Of Operations) and the carrier. As a result, pilots would always ask every KC-10 if they had the "Photog Boom" on board. I didn't realize how much it meant to some of the guys until I got a message from a Navy Lt. saying that his family really enjoyed the picture and it was the first time that they saw him fly in a jet. Unfortunately, now as a Flight Test Boom Operator I can't take pictures due to the sensitivity of the world of Flight Test but I have a collection of pictures and videos that I look back on and enjoy. Photography is a passion of mine and I am happy to share it with others.
When asked what his best and scariest moment as a Boom have been, this is what popped into mind:
The best moments that I have as a boom operator is anytime that we are carrying 'space available' passengers and I get the chance to show people aerial refueling close up. Most people have no idea that it's even possible to refuel jets in mid air.
My scariest moment came when I was a young Boom during the initial stages of Operation Iraqi Freedom. We could see ground explosions from the air and the occasional surface-to-air fire. I had two Strike Eagles on the wings and there wasn't much moonlight out and not much cultural lighting below, so it was very dark. I cleared the first Strike Eagle to the pre-contact position in preparation for air refueling. Just as he replies; the entire rear or out tanker lit up with smoke and fire on the outside. There appeared to be a missile headed right at us. I froze up and tried to relay to my pilots that we were getting shot at. Just as I do so, the Strike Eagle pilot called up and apologized. As he was adjusting the throttles he mistakenly popped a bunch of flares.
My hands shook the remainder of the flight.
A huge thanks to USAF Technical Sergeant Jamie "Jaye" Morton for taking the time to talk with Foxtrot Alpha and to allow us to post his fantastic images. Also a big thanks as always to the outstanding 412th Test Wing Public Affairs and John Haire who are always so great with supporting unique stories about the awesome stuff going on at Edwards AFB.
[THEJAKARTAPOST] Japanese broadcaster TV Asahi apologised Saturday after its Bangkok bureau chief posted an image of his genitals on a mobile forum set up by Thailand's foreign ministry, which warned of "consequences".
A front man for the channel said the unnamed employee had been removed from the job due to his "extremely inappropriate" behaviour.
The ministry demanded an explanation for the graphic picture that appeared late Monday in the forum, which was set up for foreign journalists working in Thailand.
"We deeply apologise to the Thai foreign ministry and other people concerned," the front man said, adding the journalist had been urged to "seriously reflect" on the incident.

With all of those nifty computer models we have for ocean currents, we could back track this flaperon's journey to Reunion Island and possibly pin point the crash site to a very small area. Of course, I am so deep into conspiracy theories with this, the flaperon could have been dumped in the ocean to divert us away from other possibilities.
I still hold the danged thing is somewhere on the ground being prepared as the biggest flying bomb ever for a massive terrorist attack on a major population center.

[EAGNEWS.ORG] While some teachers might complain about the size of their paycheck, bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit ... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang... Public School teachers are hardly surprised when they don't get a check at all.
"We need something that will effectively, regularly pay the teachers what they're owed. They do the work. They need the pay. They need it on-time, with bills to pay. All they get now is a runaround," Detroit Federation of Teachers President Steve Conn told Click on Detroit.
Conn raised a ruckus in the media this week after some of his members were shorted hundreds of dollars in their paychecks, while others didn't receive a pay check at all. And it's not the first time.
The socialist union boss blames Republican Gov. Rick Snyder, of course, because Snyder has sent in emergency financial managers to divert DPS from its crash course with total financial and academic failure, though the first EFM was sent in by former Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm.
"There's been nothing but a steady degrading and dismantling of any kind of structures within the system, including just regularly and accurately paying our teachers," Conn told Michigan Radio. "There's no fairness for the teachers in the DPS payroll system, and it's continuing to drive teachers out of the district."
Conn said that when district officials do resolve payment issues, teachers are paid on debt cards, which "are even harder to deal with" because of withdrawal limits and fees, according to the radio station.
"When I went online to look at my pay stub, I saw it was short by a whole week," Regina Dixon, a teacher at Coleman A. Young Elementary, told The Detroit News.

And the kids continue to go uneducated. It's all so very Soviet. We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us.
They done moved across Eight Mile Road. Not just the White Devils, but the black middle class too. Just about anybody who had better prospects.
Browsing the various Ruins of Detroit sites on the interwebs, you see some beautiful architecture, currently in a somewhat unmaintained state. Detroit used to be quite a prosperous city. Bad luck, I guess.
[Hurriyet Daily News] Selahattin Demirtas, co-leader of the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), has argued that a plan is in process to close down his party, accusing an advisor to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... of leading the plan. "If you can't beat 'em dissolve 'em."
"From what I've heard, [Burhan] Kuzu, who has been appointed as an advisor to the president, is planning to close the party...IF possible before the end of this year, not to allow the party to be an obstacle for the [Justice and Development Party] AKP," Demirtas told news hounds in Ankara on Aug. 1.

[DAWN] KARACHI: The body of a minor girl, who was raped before being strangled to death, was found in the Sachal area on Friday, police and doctors said.
They said that the body of the seven-year-old girl was recovered from bushes at a desolate spot near the Abdullah Shah Ghazi Goth within the remit of the Sachal cop shoppe.
The body was shifted to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
Additional Police Surgeon Dr Rohina Hasan told Dawn that the victim was sexually assaulted and strangled to death. She said that the body also bore torture marks.
She said that the girl was killed around 10-12 hours before the body was brought to the hospital at 12.10pm.
Sohrab Goth DSP Mohammad Khalid Khan said that the girl had gone missing from her residence in Abdullah Shah Ghazi Goth on July 30.

[DAWN] How women of marginalised communities are suffering at the hands of influential people and the state has turned a blind eye towards their misery came to light at a presser held on Friday.
Emmi, 30, and resident of Thatta city, is now looking for justice with the help of a non-governmental body providing legal aid to women and child survivors of violence and abuse.
Ironically, however, the police have not only refused to register an FIR on one pretext or another but also sexually harassed her. There is no action from the government side either that has been informed in writing about the case, according to her.

[Rooters] Iran plans to buy as many as 90 planes per year from Boeing (BA.N) and Airbus (AIR.PA) to revamp its antiquated fleet once Western sanctions are lifted, its state news agency IRNA quoted a senior aviation official as saying on Sunday.
"Iran will buy a total of 80-90 planes per year from the two aviation giants in the first phase of renovating its air fleet," said Mohammad Khodakarami, the caretaker director of Iran's Civil Aviation Organization, according to IRNA.
Last month's nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers has raised the prospect of banking and trade sanctions on Iran being lifted, perhaps around the end of this year, which would mean a chance to renew a fleet of commercial aircraft whose average age of 23 years is almost twice the international average.

Ye ole kickback. How much did they promise the Obama family foundation (a charitable organization that will be founded and based in Chicago after Obama leaves office).
[Motley Fool] In 2001, Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) won a stunning victory over its archrival in fighter jets, The Boeing Company. The Pentagon would award Lockheed Martin the right to build F-35 Joint Strike Fighters for the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marines (and for our allies) for the next 60 years.
Pundits predicted that Lockheed would reap immense rewards from these contracts: $1 trillion, $1.3 trillion, $1.5 trillion, or even more! Or less.
Earlier this month, the same Pentagon that bestowed upon Lockheed a trillion-dollar franchise to build America's "last manned fighter" plane suggested it now may cut this franchise short, putting potentially trillions of revenue dollars at risk. Interesting problem, ain't it? After years of competition, buyouts, mergers, and what have you Lockheed and Boeing are just about all that's left of the aerospace industry. I guess Northrup's still around, but nobody else comes immediately to mind. Given another flub or two, our engineering sector is left with a single point of failure, which violates one of the basic principles of engineering.

It's the Goldbricking method of disarmament: they've dragged out the development as much as they possibly can, time to make it dogfight with the engine throtle-limited in software along with the AoA, make it look worse than it is, and have an excuse to stop production, go on to another twenty years of R&D, while we rely on 30 year old F-15's.

Next 60 years + Trilyuhns-n-Tilyuhns of Dollars, but the USMSC says its certified for only "limited" combat ops.
The F-35 is supposed to be Light Fighter/Aircraft end of our mighty OWG PRE-SPACE, PROTO-UNITARIAN, HI-LO, HEAVY-LIGHT STEALTH MIX.
For that price + timeline, etc. it had better be able to cook eggs + slumgullion inside the cockpit, + transform into OPTIMUS PRIME = ARMED MINI-SPACE SHUTTLE???
