BLUF: [Breitbart] Twenty-six percent of the foreign born cases of active TB reported in Minnesota in 2015 were from patients born in Somalia.
"Cannot disclose due to patient privacy laws," Allina Health’s Kanihan tells Breitbart News, when asked whether either or both of the two Allina Health workers diagnosed with active TB were American born or foreign born.
When reminded that the Minnesota Department of Health annually reports the breakdown between foreign born and American born active TB cases, Kanihan held firm.
"They may disclose some kind of aggregate breakdown, but that’s different from disclosing information about two specific people. Sorry, can’t help you with that one," he tells Breitbart News.
He's correct. HIPAA laws prevent exactly this. He's following the law.
The Minnesota Department of Health did not respond when Breitbart News posed the same question to them. The question appears to have been answered.

B - gets it right. Get ready for a host of "walking dead" 3rd world infectees carrying every known deadly pathogen. Zika, TB, Plague, Dengue, superbugs...you name it. Since we catch and release into the general populace, one need only to tell the "border hoppers" they are being given an injection of vaccines to protect them and let the fun begin.
Time the hospital overload with coordinated attacks and we've got a real problem.

This is a great little documentary, really informative and enjoyable. It gives the Brexit case so if you want to see the Remain case to have both sides before you make up your mind, then you need to google "Remain" and see what you can find.
If you like this doco please share it around on FaceBook and email so everyone gets an idea before they have to go to the polls later this month.

[Daily Caller] A leading politician and campaigner to keep Britain in the European Union (EU) told a rally "white men" are a problem and fellow campaigners should focus on women and young people.
People like him then fail to understand why white men won't vote for them...
The UK will vote on whether it wants to remain or leave the EU for the first time in 40 years June 23. The Labour Party’s shadow Europe Minister Pat Glass embarrassed the "Remain" campaign Wednesday instructing pro-EU supporters to ignore older, white, male voters who are more likely to vote for Brexit.
"Speak to your mother, your grandmother. Don’t speak to your grandfather, we know the problem are older white men," Glass told an audience in Wolverhampton.
A Labour spokesman brushed off the comments as a joke. "It was a light-hearted comment and it was received in that way by the audience," a spokesman told The Express & Star. "Labour are clearly fighting for every single vote and are of course encouraging everyone to vote to remain on 23 June."
They think they can do that and still insult white men...

Venezuela has seen the highest number of deaths and injuries from grenades in Latin America over the past three years, with corruption in the military making soldiers both a cause and target of this trend.
The year 2015 was a record year for Venezuela in many aspects. In terms of citizen security, the country witnessed the highest homicide rates since its independence. The Venezuelan Violence Observatory (Observatorio Venezolano de la Violencia - OVV) recorded 27,875 victims, pushing the homicide rate to 90 murders for every 100,000 inhabitants and giving the country the second highest rate in the world after El Salvador for countries not at war.
Within this total there were at least 47 deaths attributed to the detonation of grenades. The United Nations Regional Center for Peace, Disarmament and Development (UNLIREC) reported that hand grenade deaths increased by 194 percent during 2015 compared to the two previous years. Comparative figures are not available for the region, but Venezuela very likely maintains its position as the South American nation with the most grenade deaths, given that it held that distinction in 2014 with only 13 cases reported.

Venezuelan security forces fired teargas at protesters chanting "We want food!" near Caracas' presidential palace on Thursday, the latest street violence in the crisis-hit OPEC nation. Hundreds of angry Venezuelans heading toward Miraflores palace in downtown Caracas were met by National Guard troops and police who blocked a major road.
President Nicolas Maduro, under intense pressure over a worsening economic crisis in the South American nation of 30 million, had been scheduled to address a rally of indigenous groups nearby around the same time.
The protest spilled out of long lines at shops in the area, witnesses said, after some people tried to hijack a food truck.
"I've been here since eight in the morning. There's no more food in the shops and supermarkets," one woman told pro-opposition broadcaster Vivoplay. "We're hungry and tired."
The government accused opposition politicians of inciting the chaos but said security forces had the situation under control.
Despite their country having the world's biggest oil reserves, Venezuelans are suffering severe shortages of consumer goods ranging from milk to flour, soaring prices and a shrinking economy. Maduro blames the fall in global oil prices and an "economic war" by his foes, whom he also accuses of seeking a coup.
"Every day, they bring out violent groups seeking violence in the streets," he said in a speech at the indigenous rally, which went ahead near Miraflores later in the day. "And every day, the people reject them and expel them."
Critics say Venezuela's economic chaos is the consequence of failed socialist policies for the last 17 years, especially price and currency controls. The opposition wants a referendum this year to recall Maduro. Protests over shortages, power cuts and crime occur daily, and looting and lynchings are on the rise.
Several local journalists said they were robbed during Thursday's chaos in downtown Caracas.
The government's top economic official, Miguel Perez, acknowledged the hardships Venezuelans were undergoing but promised the situation would improve.
"We know this month has been really critical. It's been the month with the lowest supply of products. That's why families are anxious," he told local radio. "We guarantee things will improve in the next few weeks."

It's the CLAPP. Taking over with the help of the National Guard all food distribution in the cities. Door to door delivery of food boxes once a week if you are good citizen.

US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter met with Japanese counterpart Gen Nakatani on the sidelines of the 15th Asia Security Summit, or the Shangri-La Dialogue, in Singapore, and the sides agreed to enhance monitoring of the US military present in Japan under the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), Sputnik reported citing Pentagon.
"Secretary Carter and Minister Nakatani decided to focus on the following areas: reviewing SOFA implementation practices related to U.S. personnel with SOFA status, including the civilian component; strengthening the monitoring of SOFA status of U.S. personnel, including the civilian component; and enhancing education and training for U.S. personnel with SOFA status," Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook said in a statement.
The two officials confirmed their intent to develop these measures "at the earliest possible occasion," he added.
In late May, a former US Marine, Kenneth Franklin was arrested on suspicion of stabbing and strangling a 20-year-old Japanese woman near US Kadena Air Base in Okinawa. The woman, Rina Shimabukuro, disappeared on April 28 and was later found dead in a forest. Franklin has reportedly admitted to committing the murder. Shortly following, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said at a joint press conference with US President Barack Obama that Japan would implement new measures to protect the people of Okinawa.
Carter expressed his regret over the murder, as well as offered his sincere apologies to the family and friends of the deceased. He reaffirmed his commitment to working closely with Government of Japan to prevent incidents in the future.

It shouldn't require anything. Just wave any authorization to first prosecuting in the case and turn them over to the Japanese, who still have an active death penalty (unlike the American military).
"Kenneth Franklin Shinzato, a former marine who works at the US air force’s Kadena airbase, told police he had strangled Rina Shimabukuro, a 20-year-old woman whose body was found in undergrowth on Thursday, according to Kyodo news.
Police began questioning 32-year-old Shinzato who lives in the town of Yonabaru with his wife and child, after his car appeared in security camera footage in the area where GPS data from Shimabukuro’s mobile phone was last confirmed. She had been missing since late last month."

[DAWN] KARACHI: The police counterterrorism department on Friday claimed to have killed three suspects belonged to an Afghans’ gang allegedly involved in killings, robberies and gang-rape cases in an ’encounter’, while in another ’encounter’ two gangsters were also killed.
Acting on a tip-off provided by an intelligence agency, the police conducted a targeted raid in Mehran Town in Korangi, where an encounter ensued in which three suspects were killed.
The suspects were identified as Mohammed Umer, Alam Khan and Lazrus, alias Ranjha, alias Nazar while the fourth one identified as Shamoon, alias Suraj, escaped in maimed condition.
"These suspects belonged to a gang led by Afghans living illegally here," said additional inspector general of the CTD Dr Sanaullah Abbasi.
"The gang comprises 11 members who are mercenaries and rapists of teenage girls."
A 30-bore pistol seized from their possession was sent to the police forensic laboratory, which revealed that this weapon had been used in four murders in Korangi over the past one year.
Besides, this gang had allegedly shot at and maimed Anti Car Lifting Cell Inspector Mumtaz in Korangi. Furthermore, they were involved in house robberies.
"During the house robberies, they were involved in 12 gang-rape cases," said the CTD AIG.
They committed at least 27 house robberies and looted around Rs20 million.
This gang was also involved in over 200 street crime cases in which they had snatched mobile phones, cash, cycle of violences and jewellery from women.
Another police officer of the CTD SSP Junaid Ahmed Sheikh said that during a house robbery, they allegedly gang-raped a nine-year-old girl and threw her into the water tank where she died.
He said they had targeted ACLC inspector Mumtaz Shah on April 20 and threw him outside his home in Korangi in maimed condition assuming that he had died from the bullet wounds, but he survived and his condition was improving. He was targeted because he had helped the law enforcers arrest that gang’s members, the police officer added.
SSP Sheikh said that ’some coppers’ of Korangi had also worked as ’controllers’ of the gang and added that action would be taken against them.
He said they had also traced the jeweller who used to buy looted gold from the gang and hinted that action would also be taken against him.
The officer claimed that these gang members also worked as hitmen for banned outfits.
