-Lurid Crime Tales-
Judge Jeanine: Is the FBI's Hildebeest email investigation a charade ?
[Breitbart] Judge Jeanine Pirro opened her Fox News Channel show "Justice" Saturday with a monologue ripping Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama for the Benghazi investigation, including Obama's standing up for Clinton and her server for saying he did not think it posed a national security issue.

"Our national security not endangered?" she said. "There you go again, Mr. President. Like not a smidgen of corruption in the IRS and then Ferguson and Trayvon Martin and law enforcement. Mr. President, you pre-judge situations before knowing the facts. Why did you appoint Jim Comey if you weren't going to let him do the job at the FBI? You undercut the investigation. Were you signaling that you're not going to let the Justice Department bring charges, even if the FBI puts together a case? Is this investigation nothing more than a charade?"

Pirro went on to say, "And Hillary even got a pass at the debate. No ISIS, no Iran deal; even Benghazi, there she simply pivoted to Obama ousting Gadhafi from Libya when she's the one who wanted Gadhafi deposed. Hillary, that's why you refuse to let the generals in the pentagon take Gadhafi's son's calls, seeking peace in Libya before we bombed them. You're the one who rejected the peace talks for Libya. Why, Hillary? What was so important to you about Libya?"

Shooting at ZombiCon on leaves one dead, non-ambulatory
[NAPLESNEWS] One person is dead, five are injured and a suspect is at large after a shooting in downtown Fort Myers during ZombiCon on Saturday.
Being dead at Zombicon would be kinda expected, wouldn't it?
Fort Myers Police Department identified the fatal victim from the shooting as Expavious Tyrell Taylor of Okeechobee, Florida. Hours later, a sixth victim was also identified as being shot.
I've been feeling expavious for some time. I think it's a bad sign. I've been walking with a stagger.
The shooting suspect is still at large.

Indian police arrest two teenagers over rape of toddler
[TELEGRAPH.CO.UK] India police said on Sunday they had jugged
Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please!
two teenagers over the rape of a toddler, the latest sexual assault on a child in the capital to ignite public anger.

Twenty police teams questioned more than 250 suspects before arresting the juveniles over the attack on the two-year-old girl, who was found bleeding in a park near her New Delhi home on Friday night.

"Delhi police have solved (the crime) by apprehending two juveniles in the rape case of a child," Dependra Pathak, a Delhi police commissioner, told news hounds.

"Further investigation is on. All concerned evidences are been collected," Pathak said, adding that the two 17-year-olds arrested late on Saturday will face initial charges in 10 days.

Both boys lived in the same poor western neighbourhood as the toddler and one of them was known to her family, Pathak said.

The assault on the toddler, who is recovering in hospital, was the second within 24 hours after a five-year-old girl was gang-raped at a neighbour's house in east Delhi.

Three men have been arrested over that attack which also occurred on Friday evening, with both incidents sparking protests and renewed anger over sexual violence in the capital.

The attacks on the girls came a week after a four-year-old girl was raped, slashed with a knife and dumped by a railway track in Delhi.

They add to a grim record of sexual assaults in India. The fatal gang-rape of a student on a bus in Delhi in 2012 unleashed a wave of public outrage.

That incident prompted the national government to toughen punishments for rapists and overhaul policing to better protect women and kiddies.

Captain America battles right-wing conservatives in new comic
[WASHINGTONTIMES] In the latest issue of Marvel's revamped Captain America, the iconic superhero takes on a group of right-wing conservatives trying to stop undocumented Democrats from crossing the border.

In "Captain America: Sam Wilson #1," the superhero also known as Sam Wilson heads to the border to take on an "evil" militia group known as the Sons of the Serpent, who are patrolling the area between Mexico and Arizona, according to a video summary of the issue created by the Maciver Institute.

The Sons of the Serpent try to stop a group of undocumented Democrats from crossing the border. They accuse the immigrants of invading a sovereign land to spread disease and crime, take American jobs and collect welfare.

They enlist fake super heroes for fake narrative progressing a horrible agenda that has nothing to do with America.

Are Liberals or Moslems more destructive to Civilization.

I think Moslems would never do this shit without Liberal encouragement.

Ergo, Liberals destroyed the earth.

OH, he lives in San Francisco ? A little longer commute then , but he has lot of friends in SF who think his butt is wonderful. And most of them wear tight pants too ( for some reason).

#7  Captain Socialism

The SJWs have co-opted Marvel, at least the print version. Wonder if Hollyweird is willing to kill its product too.

You know if we went back to the original copyright of 14 years with the individual creator getting another 14 year extension, a lot of this silliness (not to mention the resource misallocation cause by the 'entertainment' industry) would disappear.

#8  Considering the state of comics nowdays I'm not to worried about widespread readership. The movies are the only thing keeping Marvel afloat.

#9  Comic books must be an excellent platform for propaganda with lots of pictures, not too many words, simple sentences for simple minds that are easy to read and no big words. The people who read them are young people in their formative years who are gullible and not particularly well educated. While others their age are reading Tom Sawyer they're reading Captain America and soaking it up like a sponge.

#11  From the article: "However, the episode ends on a cliffhanger, with the original Captain America Steve Rogers returning and telling the new superhero to stand down, Breitbart news reported."

Could be a clever way to replace this 'new' Captain America and get him back to basics (if Marvel Comics is smart).

Afghanistan
Millions Embezzled In Ghost Teacher Scam: Baghlan Officials
[Tolo News] The Baghlan attorney general's office is investigating claims that over 100 so-called ghost teachers are registered in the Baghlan-e-Markazi district of the province, which in turn costs the department millions of Afs a year.

The attorney general's office has said that evidence received by the court indicates that millions of Afs are embezzled in salaries for these non-existent educators. According to the officials, the appeal court has launched an investigation into the case.

Reacting to the allegations, the acting head of Baghlan education department has called the accusations groundless, stating that no ghost teachers exist in the province.

According to some officials from the Baghlan education department, millions of Afs have been embezzled in the province under the name of ghost schools over the past few years. They say they informed the legal and judicial institutions in the province after receiving reports about ghost teachers.

"At least 113 ghost teachers including 49 ghost civil servants were reported during 2013," Abdul Jalil Dawlatzai, acting head of Baghlan Markazai education department said.

Initial assessments show that nearly four million Afs
... at today's exchange rate, there are 64.45 Afghanis to $1 US...
have been embezzled through ghost teachers and this should be tackled seriously, Baghlan appeal court said.

"I announce from the tribune of the attorney to probe the case after the alleged culprits are identified," attorney Din Mohammad Quraishi said.

Baghlan education department has rejected the allegations.

"The majority of teachers are formal teachers, and there are no ghost teachers at our schools, we are prepared to cooperate with those investigating the case," Abdul Qadir Rassouli, acting chief of Baghlan education department said.

The existence of ghost schools and ghost teachers has often sparked controversy in the country in the past, however the former minister of education rejected rumors that money received from international donors is going towards paying ghost teachers.

Caribbean-Latin America
Mexican drug lord hurt in attempt to elude capture
[DAWN] Fugitive drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman eluded an operation to recapture him in northwestern Mexico in recent days, injuring his leg and face, authorities said, as the manhunt heats up.

Authorities said on Friday that efforts to nab Guzman, who embarrassed President Enrique Pena Nieto with his brazen July jailbreak, have focused on the northwest region in the past few weeks after foreign governments shared intelligence.

"Due to these actions and to avoid his arrest, the runaway escaped in a hurry (in recent days), which according to the information that was collected, caused him injuries to his leg and face," the government said in a statement.

"It is important to specify that these injuries were not the product of a direct clash," it said, without specifying the extent of the injuries or how authorities know he was hurt.

Authorities also did not say exactly where and when the operation took place, but raids have reportedly occurred in the neighbouring states of Durango and Sinaloa.

The government said it was continuing operations to capture the Sinaloa narco mob boss, who has been captured and escaped prison twice, most recently on July 11 by crawling down a hole in his cell's shower that led to a huge tunnel.

India-Pakistan
Inviting Arabs to hunt is pillar of foreign policy: govt
[DAWN] The federal government has asked the Supreme Court to reconsider a ban on hunting houbara bustard by foreign dignitaries, saying the restriction was adversely affecting the country's already-weakened relations with the Gulf states in the wake of turmoil in the region.

"The petition involved a question of fundamental importance having direct bearing upon foreign relations of the federation with the Gulf states," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pleaded in a petition seeking a review of the Aug 19 verdict.

A three-judge Supreme Court bench, headed by then Chief Justice Jawwad S Khawaja, had ordered the federal and provincial governments not to grant licences or permits to hunt the endangered bird in the future.

But the federal government argued that the matter concerned the country's external affairs, matters the superior courts usually avoided interfering with.

The review petition pleaded that falconry is a significant feature of Pakistain's relations with Middle Eastern countries. Falconry is not merely a sport for Arabs, but also one of their most cherished customs and recognised as a cultural heritage by Unesco.

Feds Hide Secret List Of 11 Obamacare Insurers nearing financial ruin
[Daily Caller] Federal officials have a secret list of 11 Obamacare health insurance co-ops they fear are on the verge of failure, but they refuse to disclose them to the public or to Congress, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation has learned.

Just in the last three weeks, five of the original 24 Obamacare co-ops announced plans to close, bringing the total of failures to nine barely two years after their launch with $2 billion in start-up capital from the taxpayers under the Affordable Care Act.

All 24 received 15-year loans in varying amounts to offer health insurance to poor and low income customers and provide publicly funded competition to private, for-profit insurers. Among the co-ops to announce closings were those in Iowa, Nebraska, Kentucky, West Virginia, Louisiana, Nevada, Tennessee, Vermont, New York and Colorado.

Nearly half a million failing co-op customers will have to find new coverage in 2016. More than $900 million of the original $2 billion in loans has been lost.

The 11 unidentified co-ops appear to be still operating but are now on "enhanced oversight" by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, which manages the Obamacare program. The 11 received letters from CMS demanding that they take urgent actions to avoid closing.
