HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) — The woman charged in a deadly Longs shooting is an Army specialist with a military police unit at Fort Bragg, officials said Wednesday.
Yunique Weathers, 22, is accused of shooting De-Erica Fisher in a field near Highway 9 and Pine Needle Drive Sunday afternoon.
The Horry County Coroner’s Office confirmed Fisher, 21, was shot multiple times and died at the scene.
Both Weathers and Fisher are from Fayetteville, N.C.
Capt. Matthew Visser, the acting director of public affairs at Fort Bragg, said Weathers is an active duty soldier assigned with the 503rd Military Police Battalion, 16th Military Police Brigade.
"We are working in coordination with law enforcement and the criminal investigation division. An investigation into the incident is ongoing," Visser said.
Horry County police have charged Weathers with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
Weathers is currently being held at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center. No bond has been set on her charges.
Now this is an interesting angle for things...
[Zero Hedge] - In a midday headline that rocked Washington, NBC News reports that Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, one of the minority of liberal justices on the Court, is planning to retire before the midterms to give President Biden a chance to nominate and install a replacement.
Minutes ago, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tweeted a statement that neither confirmed, nor denied, the NBC News report, but simply said that each justice must make their own decision about when to retire.

This is the guy who in oral argument about the vax mandate said that 750 million Americans were infected in one day. He will be 83 later this year.
Appointed by Clinton
Obviously he wants to be part of the Abortion decision expected this summer so he'll retire after that I suppose.

Dems are terrified of losing Hispanic voters.
Brandon will probably nominate a left-wing, dark-skinned wiseguy Latina, ideally from Florida, in order to snag a few Hispanic votes in November.

The sudden lov for the Cackle-Jackal is worrying. She steps aside for a lifetime of figurehead noisemaking and a backdoor deal on the Pelosi hedge fund plan, and voila, Big Mike could make the stage, offering the old Clintonian meme of the twofer, you get the glamour Wookie and Barak as a co-host.
Hey, could this be the play that moves Kamala out of the line of succession? Once she is gone, the stage is set for Biden to resign for "health reasons".

The original #5, Ichnusa has been evaporated. He’s been spouting similar vicious nonsense under a variety of nyms and anonymizers for some time. I have no idea what he gets out of it, but we seem to be an unhealthy addiction for him.
[IsraelTimes] Six faculty members, five of whom are Jewish, claim they were subjected to hostile work environment on basis of religion, challenge union’s monopoly to represent them
Calling their faculty union "anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish, and anti-Israel," six professors at the City University of New York have filed a federal civil rights lawsuit challenging what they call the union’s "monopoly" power to represent them.
The suit stems from a June 2021 resolution from the union, known as the Professional Staff Congress, condemning Israel for "the continued subjection of Paleostinians," and a subsequent call by the union for its state chapters to consider supporting the academic boycott of Israel.
The plaintiffs claim that in the wake of the resolution and its follow-up, they were subjected to a hostile work environment on the basis of religion, and had no choice but to resign from the union. The suit asserts that the plaintiffs have a right to fair representation despite no longer being members of the PSC.
Five of the six plaintiffs — Avraham Goldstein, Michael Goldstein, Frimette Kass-Shraibman, Mitchell Langbert, Jeffrey Lax and Maria Pagano — are Jewish.
The suit claims that in the case of Lax, a professor at Kingsborough Community College, "CUNY and PSC leaders discriminated against him, retaliated against him, and subjected him to a hostile work environment on the basis of religion."
Another plaintiff, Michael Goldstein, an administrator and adjunct professor at Kingsborough Community College, has experienced "anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist attacks from members of PSC, including what he sees as bullying, harassment, destruction of property, calls for him to be fired, organization of student attacks against him, and threats against him and his family," according to the suit.
Although spurred by the union’s moves on Israel, the substance of the suit is a challenge to the union’s power to organize and negotiate on the part of public employees. Two organizations that frequently challenge the legal authority given to unions — The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and The Fairness Center — are providing free legal assistance to the plaintiffs. The lawsuit challenges a New York State law that allows unions to minimize the representation of public employees who are not union members.
Goldstein called the faculty union "effectively a state-sanctioned monopoly."
"By forcing these professors into a union collective against their will, the state of New York mandates that they associate with union officials and other union members who take positions that are deeply offensive to these professors’ most fundamental beliefs," said Mark Mix, prescient of the National Right to Work Foundation, in a blurb.
The plaintiffs also named New York State comptroller Thomas DiNapoli as a defendant in the lawsuit because union dues are being taken out of their paycheck even though they resigned the PSC.
In response, Frank Clark, a spokesperson for PSC, called the lawsuit "meritless," and "just another attempt to erode the power of organized labor to fight for better pay and working conditions and a more just society."
In August, CUNY President James Davis called the anti-Israel resolution "problematic," and said that "any position the union develops on Israel and Paleostine should be preceded by a conversation among the members in our chapters."

So, It seems they have a Liberal Activist College Teachers Union. A union it seems playing Politics instead focused on developing a better educationally based system and curriculum.
It also brings up another question.
Why aren't we seeing any NYC or NY state elected officials running to media cameras to condemning this educational teachers Union for this?
[Warfare History Network] High over Normandy, France, eight paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division charged out the rear door of their C-47 Skytrain aircraft. They whooped and shouted as antiaircraft explosions rattled the plane.
On the heels of the eighth paratrooper came Technical Sergeant Gerald Griffith. He didn’t jump; strapping himself into the seat by the door, he pulled a T-shaped handle, releasing the cargo strapped under the plane’s fuselage. His task complete, Griffith remained seated while the next eight-man group leaped out the door. From his perch, he had a perfect view of the D-Day airborne assault over Ste. Mère Èglise.
Griffith never forgot what he saw: "Some of the paratroopers jumping out of their planes were hit by the prop wash from the plane in front of them, shooting them into the planes behind them, into their propellers."

[Dallas Morning News] World health officials are offering hope that the ebbing of the omicron wave could give way to a new, more manageable phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, even as they warn of difficult weeks ahead and the possibility of another, more dangerous variant arising. Don't say we didn't warn you!
In the U.S., cases have crested and are dropping rapidly, following a pattern seen in Britain and South Africa, with researchers projecting a period of low spread in many countries by the end of March. Though U.S. deaths — now at 2,000 each day — are still rising, new hospital admissions have started to fall, and a drop in deaths is expected to follow.
The encouraging trends after two years of self inflicted coronavirus misery have brought a noticeably hopeful tone from health experts. Rosy predictions have crumbled before, but this time they are backed by what could be called omicron’s silver lining: The highly contagious variant will leave behind extremely high levels of immunity. Whoa! A new development! Up until now, saying anything about 'natural immunity' could get you de-platformed. On Sunday, Dr. Anthony Fauci talked on ABC "This Week" about a "best-case scenario" where COVID-19 would fall to manageable levels so the United States could get "back to a degree of normality." Like when you weren't on the TV all the time? Normal, like, where nobody knew your name?
And on Monday, the World Health Organization issued a statement anticipating an end to the "emergency phase" of the pandemic this year and saying that the omicron variant "offers plausible hope for stabilization and normalization." Who's on first?
Both Fauci and the WHO’s Europe regional director, Dr. Hans Kluge, cautioned that new variants are likely to emerge, but with vaccination, new untested, expensivedrug therapies and — during surges — useless, virtuous activities, like testing and masks, the world could reach a less disruptive level of disease in which the virus is, as Fauci put it, "essentially integrated into the general respiratory infections that we have learned to live with." But can we learn to live without Tony?
I’m certainly willing to try.
Falling, too, are new U.S. hospital admissions of patients with confirmed COVID-19. They are averaging nearly 20,000 per day, down about 7% from the previous week, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Those numbers include patients who went to the hospital for other reasons and tested false positive. But even after accounting for these incidental infections, the trend is hopeful.
[DW] After being driven out of Uganda, the Lord's Resistance® Army ran riot in the Central African Republic, where it behaved more like a criminal gang than a terrorist militia. Now the LRA's days seem to be numbered.
The Lord's Resistance® Army (LRA) was founded in northern Uganda in 1987 to chase President Yoweri Museveni ...President-for-Life of Uganda. He assumed office in 1985.

[IsraelTimes] US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass. Don't say he didn't warn us... says he has "no intention" of sending troops into Ukraine, but again warns Russia of severe sanctions if Moscow orders an attack.
Speaking to news hounds, Biden says he has "no intention of putting American forces or NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants... forces in Ukraine."
Putin holds all the cards and will come out ahead regardless of what Brandon's masters tell their puppet to do. If the puppet master is truly Ron Klain, aka "the prime minister," then it's highly unlikely the US will end up doing anything at all.
Klain is clearly the force that is driving Brandon to the left. It's Klain who pissed off Joe Manchin and torpedoed Brandon's legislation with his bully-boy tactics.
Klain is an old lefty who works closely with the little Bolshevik rep from WA and other squaddies. After he was chief of staff to VP Al Gore, Klain worked for lefty Wesley Clark and then for Kerry.
Whatever the lefty-Marxist policy is on Ukraine (I doubt these idiots have given the matter more than 2 minutes' thought), count on Ron Klain to advance it with his usual blundering, bullying energy. Heaven help us.

Plus we could add to that.
Why would a NATO country and given the current lack of US leadership, enormous national debt, a wishy-washy more DC skills than DOD, trust the USA?
Hhow many Political-Military screw-ups, failed nation building, defense hand overs failures after spending $$TRILLION, and 1000s of US DOD lives.
Would you trust a country with a track record like the US has had the last 50 years?

Especially after these folks sent their soldiers to fight and die alongside ours in the AFG debacle. How many other of these (to coin a phrase) true European allies feel the same way as the Croats?
#10
Klain and Dr Edith Biden are the puppeteers but the major decisions and policy directives come from the Praesidium and Central Committee membership at Kalorama, Big Tech, big Union, the Gay/minority coalition, big Pharma, Deep State operatives and the shadowy CCP/PLA.
#13
Klain doesn't seem to take orders from anyone.
His intelligence consists of manipulating and moving his serial bosses (Gore, Wesley Clark, Kerry, Biden) ever further to the left.
In managing up he has no equal. Managing down or sideways: an epic fail. But he couldn't care less; he'll just move on to his next puppet or go back to whoring at O'Melveny & Myers.
#14
Bathhouse is too damned lazy and self-adoring to do the heavy lifting Klain's been doing. Manipulating a puppet is hard work -- 100 hour weeks. Bathhouse never put in 100 hours of work in any month of his life.

[REGNUM] Croatia has nothing to do with the crisis in Ukraine, and in the event of an escalation of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev, Zagreb will withdraw all Croatian soldiers from Ukrainian territory. This was announced on January 25 by Croatian President Zoran Milanovic .
"I read reports according to which NATO is increasing its presence and sending some reconnaissance vessels. We have nothing in common with this and will not have anything in common, I guarantee you that. We will not send anyone, and if there is an escalation, we will recall everyone to the last Croatian military," the HRT channel reports Milanovic’s words.
According to the Croatian president, the conflict in Ukraine is by no means connected with Russia, but with "the dynamics of American domestic politics and President Biden." He noted that the new US administration is enduring pressure from its own "hawks" and Republicans, who demand that Biden pursue a tough course towards Moscow.
"These events take place in the 'hallway' of the Russian capital – Moscow. A solution that will take into account Russia's security interests must be found. There are methods to preserve Ukraine as an integral state, or at least 99% of its territory, and at the same time provide it with economic assistance," Milanovich believes.
Recall that earlier the leadership of Croatia advised Kiev to resolve the issue with the DPR and LPR, taking into account the Croatian experience in relation to the Republic of Serbian Krajina, which was destroyed in 1995 as a result of Operation Storm.
Croatia is a member of the North Atlantic Alliance.

Merkel leaves retirement, flies to Moscow to meet with Putin for discussions on Joint Peace Keeping force. Lead German contingents of force already arriving in Danzig by rail. Establishment of a peace corridor to meet Ukrainian threat appears likely. French President Macron urges calm.
What *possible* benefit to the Croatian people would getting involved in a war bring? They have experience in this. The last time they got involved in a war in a distant foreign land, it didn't end well for them. That's called learning from history, and it is to be applauded.
Apparently America didn't do that. This is to be deplored.

I didn't like that report yesterday about somebody trying to goat Russian troops into launching an attack, "Because the US has already attacked using cruise missiles so get in the game."

[Daily Mail UK via InstaPundit] Ukraine says it has arrested Russian-backed saboteurs who were plotting attacks in border regions with the aim of 'destabilising' the country.
The 'criminal' group was preparing a 'series of armed attacks' on city infrastructure 'coordinated by Russian special service', Ukraine's SBU security service said today.
Two men, one of them a Russian citizen, were arrested during raids in Kharkiv, close to the Russian border, and Zhytomyr, in western Ukraine, today.
Agents say the pair had been recruiting other men - mostly Russians with criminal histories - under the guise of a security company to take part in the attacks.
It comes amid a build-up of Russian troops near Ukraine, with the US warning Moscow may launch 'false flag' attacks in border regions to justify an invasion.

[Military.com] An F-35C Lightning II fighter suffered "a landing mishap" on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson in the South China Sea on Monday. It left seven sailors injured while the pilot safely ejected and was later recovered, the Navy confirmed, marking the fifth major mishap aboard the deployed carrier since late November.
When asked about the string of mishaps, Navy spokesman Lt. Nicholas Lingo said, "All five incidents remain under investigation, and we cannot speak to any pattern until the investigation concludes."
Lingo said that the F-35, which is assigned to Carrier Air Wing 2, suffered its mishap Monday while the Carl Vinson was conducting routine flight operations in the South China Sea. He added that "additional details and the cause of the in-flight mishap is under investigation."
[Breitbart] U.S. hospitals and staffing companies are extracting roughly 1,000 nurses each month from poor countries instead of recruiting and training Americans for the nursing jobs, say media reports.
The New York Times newspaper described the extraction migration process on January 24:
About 1,000 nurses are arriving in the United States each month from African nations, the Philippines and the Caribbean, said Sinead Carbery, president of O’Grady Peyton International, an international recruiting firm. While the United States has long drawn nurses from abroad, she said demand from American health care facilities is the highest she’s seen in three decades. There are an estimated 10,000 foreign nurses with U.S. job offers on waiting lists for interviews at American embassies around the world for the required visas.
This medical migration of nurses and doctors “ultimately is about the money” for the medical sector, said Kevin Lynn, founder of Doctors Without Jobs.
The New York Times article admitted the central role of economics in the healthcare migration with a headline saying: “Rich Countries Lure Health Workers From Low-Income Nations to Fight Shortages.” That’s a sharp break from the newspaper’s usual migration coverage, which overwhelmingly focussed on migrant family dramas rather than economic impacts. Still, "America evil, selfish, Trumpish"
“The medical establishment, just like any other corporation, is looking for efficiency — faster, cheaper,” said Lynn, who campaigns for American medical graduates who lose vital training slots in government-funded residency programs to imported foreign medical graduates.
The coronavirus crash has highlighted the hidden process of healthcare extraction.
Business groups and their immigration lawyers have long argued for rules that would allow them to import an unlimited number of low-wage healthcare employees. “The [annual] cap [of 85,000 work visas] should be repealed altogether for the healthcare sector, as it is for the university and non-profit sector already,” advocate Daniel Griswold told the House committee on small business in 2019. Griswold is a director at the Koch-funded Mercatus Center in Arlington, VA. The demands got louder during the coronavirus crash but went nowhere while President Donald Trump was in office.
President Joe Biden’s deputies are now opening more doorways for employers to hire foreign white-collar workers — despite rising public concerns about the loss of many Fortune 500 jobs to corporate-recruited H-1B visa workers. Already, roughly 1.5 million U.S. jobs are held by visa workers instead of by Americans, so forcing down wages for many white-collar jobs.
I hate say this, but they are desperately needed.
The Local area US Nurses burned out from months/years of overwork and trying to handle 2x++ the normal patient load with limited supplies.
GREAT Staff, polite, conversational and extremely good with English and Spanish. The furthest VISA traveling nurse I had was from Pakistan. Along with Brazil, Panama, England and several others.
A few acknowledged despite given the Room & Board issues they are making 3x to 5+x what they would back hone.
