Tenant Ethan Rodriguez empties a mag (video}
[Guns America] A video has surfaced showing a tenant, Ethan Rodriguez, firing through his apartment door in Dallas, as two men, posing as maintenance workers, attempted to break in.

The incident occurred at the Interlace Apartments.

By August 22, one of the suspects, 30-year-old Aaron Contreras, was arrested on multiple charges including aggravated assault and attempted burglary. The second suspect’s identity has not been disclosed, according to KHOU11.

Rodriguez had initially told one of the intruders through his doorbell camera that he wasn’t home.

When the supposed worker returned with another man and tried to kick down his door, Rodriguez fired at them, especially when he saw a gun in one of the suspect’s hands.

Guess they believed him.

The second suspect’s identity has not been disclosed

So...a CI, an Agent or an Illegal Alien.

'Weed nuns' v narcos: Meet Mexico's Sisters of the Valley
[BBC] The Sisters of the Valley, a group of women dressed as Catholic nuns, legally grow and sell weed in Mexico. Despite their license, they operate covertly to avoid retaliation from narco traffickers. Their religious attire serves as both a provocation and disguise, while they aim to de-stigmatize weed and challenge the country's machismo culture.

Israel involved in 'total destruction of the civilian population' in Gaza: Putin
Pretty funny, coming from the Butcher of Ukraine, if it wasn't quite so sad.
[GEO.TV] Russian President Vladimir Putin
...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...
condemned the conflict in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
as a "total destruction of the civilian population", as Israel's military pounded central Gaza with heavy air strikes on Wednesday.

"What is happening now in Gaza in response to the terrorist attack on Israel, does not resemble a war. It is a kind of total destruction of the civilian population," Putin told representatives of foreign news outlets, including AFP.

Six Azerbaijani citizens return from Syria
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] A woman and five children who were in camps in Syria have been returned to Azerbaijan, the Foreign Ministry reported.

As the Caucasian Knot" wrote, Azerbaijan periodically organizes the return of its citizens from camps in Syria and Iraq. Thus, on May 14, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reported that eight Azerbaijani citizens - three women and five children - were repatriated from the “conflict regions” of Syria.

On June 4, six Azerbaijani citizens (five children and one woman), who were kept in camps in Syria, were repatriated to their homeland, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reported.

“First of all, the location, identity and citizenship of the repatriates of the Republic of Azerbaijan were determined, and then transportation to the territory of the Turkish Republic was carried out,” the department reported.

Representatives of government agencies responsible for the repatriation of Azerbaijani citizens from Iraq and Syria were sent to Turkey. “Our citizens were provided with plane tickets and certificates of return to the Republic of Azerbaijan. On June 4, 2024, accompanied by a delegation, the specified citizens were repatriated to our country,” Report quotes the department as saying.

Let us remind you that on February 21, two women and five children who were in camps in Syria were returned to Azerbaijan. In October 2023, a woman and nine children were returned to Azerbaijan from Syrian camps, and in August of the same year, three women and 13 children were returned.

At least 120 women from Azerbaijan remain in Iraq, Turan agency columnist Tofig Turkel reported in June 2023. In November 2022, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry estimated the total number of its citizens repatriated from Syria and Iraq over the years at 409 people.

Dutch Populist Geert Wilders on Pace for Another Major Victory, Urges Voters to Reject Terror and Crime of Open Borders
[Breitbart] Veteran populist and anti-Islamification campaigner Geert Wilders is on pace for his second major political victory in a year.

Wilders cast this week’s European Parliament elections in his characteristically stark terms, saying a vote for the left will only bring more terrorism and crime while a safer Netherlands can be realised with a vote for his Party for Freedom.

On the back of winning a "mega victory" in last November’s general election, in which his Party for Freedom (PVV) pulled off "one of the biggest political upsets in Dutch politics since World War II" in securing 37 seats in the 150-seat House of Representatives and becoming the largest political party in the legislature for the first time in the history of the party, Geert Wilders is looking to go from strength to strength.

According to Dutch public broadcaster NOS, Wilder’s party is projected to win the most nationally-allocated seats in the European Parliament after this week’s elections, with polls predicting that the PVV will pick up at least nine of the 31 seats assigned to the Netherlands in the EU legislative body. This would represent a dramatic turnaround from the previous vote in 2019 when Wilder’s party did not receive enough votes to send a single MEP to Strasbourg.

After spending decades relegated to the political sidelines in the Netherlands, with a second election victory, Wilders will firmly entrench his position as the most powerful force in Dutch politics as he continues to wrangle the formation of a new right-wing government in The Binnenhof.

The ascendancy of the 60-year-old populist campaigner — and former Breitbart contributor — comes as the public grows increasingly sceptical of the open borders agenda that has dominated in Brussels and The Hague.

#1  Disgusting antisemite
Remember Pim Fortuyn, the other far right antisemite who was stabbed to death in the street in Holland way back when? Will the Dutch find their strength again?

#2  You are confused, my dear. The technical term for Geert Wilders is philosemite.

#3  Jewish Telegraph Agency report: Dutch Jews never voted en masse for the Party for Freedom, though Wilders’ strident support for Israel and anti-Islamist posture did make him a star among certain Jewish constituencies, in Holland and abroad. But the statement on Moroccans has been seen as a final straw in a gradual estrangement that began in 2011, when the Party for Freedom was key to the Dutch parliament’s adoption of a ban on ritual slaughter — a measure reversed in 2012 by the senate only after vigorous lobbying by Jewish groups.

India-Pakistan
Imran Khan being asked to strike deal and leave country, claims PTI's Arif Alvi
[GEO.TV] A day after clarifying his party’s position on political dialogues, former president and Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
(PTI) leader Dr Arif Alvi has claimed that the incarcerated party founder Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who anti-establishment Pak premier, who was hounded out of office, arrested, jailed, and will likely be hung by his political opponents...
is being told to "strike a deal and leave the country".

Alvi, while talking to journalists in Faisalabad
...formerly known as Lyallpur, the third largest metropolis in Pakistain, the second largest in Punjab after Lahore. It is named after some Arab because the Paks didn't have anybody notable of their own to name it after...
on Wednesday, said that Khan rejected the offer and decided not to leave the country "at any cost".

The former president predicted that those who were colluding to sentence Khan — the former prime minister — would face a complete failure.

Commenting on dialogue offers, the politico said that his party is ready to hold talks with "stakeholders but not with the non-stakeholders". He asked the stakeholders to let go of hatred and practice compassion.

IDF prepares for northern offensive against Hezbollah, general says, awaits Gaza resolution
[Ynet] IDF Northern Command chief Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin said Thursday afternoon that while the army is prepared for a full-scale offensive in the north against Hezbollah aggression, such an operation will not commence until the fighting in Gaza is concluded.

"We are prepared and ready. When commanded, the enemy will face a strong and ready army," Gordin said, addressing the high tension on the northern border on during a ceremony marking 18 years since the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war.

...The Northern Command chief emphasized that over the past eight months, IDF forces have been continuously fighting Hezbollah terrorists "day and night."

"We are pursuing, attacking and destroying the terror organization's operatives, capabilities and infrastructure," he said.
But they're just too dumb (or hoping Biden will save them) to get the message.

'Escalation' in Lebanon would risk Israeli security: US
[GEO.TV] The United States on Wednesday warned against an "escalation" in Lebanon after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of an operation, saying conflict would only harm Israeli security.

"We don´t want to see that escalation of the conflict which would just lead to further loss of life from both Israelis and the Lebanese people and would greatly harm Israel's overall security and stability in the region," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters.
Not escalating would also harm Israel’s security. Of such decisions are statesmen made.

#5  I really despise all this chite about escalation as though Israel is alone in this fight.

It takes two to make a war, Israel is the attacked victim and always is expected to stop it.
