[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] Reacting to the murder of officer Darren Goforth, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke told CNN's Pamela Brown that the "anti-cop rhetoric" being peddled by Black Lives Matter has "fueled" these recent attacks on police across the country.
Clarke argued that it was "very fair" to indite Black Lives Matter following the death of Officer Goforth especially "in light of the anti-cop rhetoric that is sweeping the United States of America, fueled by this group, some of the vulgar, vile rhetoric coming out talking about killing cops. And that's some of the nice stuff."
Clarke appeared on Erin Burnett OutFront with CNN's Marc Lamont Hill and made sure to clarify that not all police deaths were the fault of Black Lives Matter but stressed that respect for police across the country has vanished:
There's no fear anymore about assaulting or attacking, fighting, disarming or generally -- like I said assaulting law enforcement officers. You know what? If the shoe fits, wear it. Just like the Dylann Roof, right, went into a church and slaughtered nine church-goers. And every white person in America by this black lies movement, L-I-E-S, was indicted because of that. And other people came out and talked about slavery, discrimination alive and well in the United States. That's why I said, if the shoe fits here, wear it.
Despite Clarke pointing out the numerous instances of Black Lives Matter using violent anti-police rhetoric at the marches, Lamont Hill accused the sheriff of distorting the group's message:
The argument of Black Lives Matter is that coppers should be held to standards of accountability just like everybody else. The increased number of black bodies, the sustain of black bodies, which die at the hands of state violence needs to end. And it means while we regard all lives, we cannot exclude black lives.

I spent about an 'hour' there myself yesterday, swksvolFF.
You have to take into account the extreme traffic congestion at times (with constant ongoing construction to repair poorly built roadways - think 'corrupt officials') in actually understanding how Chicagoans think. I know that other major cities have traffic issues having driven them many times, but Chicago's are definitely 'unique'.

Between dogs and thermal gear used from a helicopter I find it hard to imagine they could get far if they didn't have a vehicle (cleared out before the manhunt) or live local.

Oh I see, up by the WI border. Suppose that means Six Flags is also in Chicago.
Dallas. Fort. Worth.
Where an hour can equal 2 miles.
On the bright side, it isn't dangerous to drive through there. Oh except for the crotch rockets doing mach 2 in between lanes.
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A female Afghan activists has reportedly posted her nude photo in a bid to protest against the public punishment of a young woman and man in western Ghor province of Afghanistan.
The photograph of the female activist was widely shared in social media websites with subscribers saying the activist who is a journalist took the bold step to denounce the trial and punishment of the young couple.
It is believed that the activist is currently residing outside the country and the photograph was deleted immediately after it was posted, apparently to prevent furore among the people.
The couple, Ahmad, 21, and Zarmina, 22, were punished in public 20 days after they were tossed in the calaboose Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! over adultery charges.
The couple received 100 lashes each by the order of primary court in the presence of local officials, community elders and local residents.
They were arrested by security personnel from Feroz Koh city and were sent to jail with the head of the provincial primary court Atta Mohammad Farouqi saying that the couple was punished after they admitted their involvement in adultery.
Defending the court's decision to lash the couple, Farouqi further added that the court awarded the sentence considering the law.
He said the woman was taken to a safe house in a bid to protect her against a possible honor killing after she was released from the prison by receiving 100 lashes.

A woman who recently died in northern Sierra Leone has tested positive for Ebola.
It comes as a setback to the country's effort to eradicate the deadly disease.
Sierra Leone was celebrating last week when it discharged its last known Ebola patient from hospital.
News of the new case means the country is no longer Ebola-free. High-risk contacts of the woman have been identified, isolated and will now be watched for symptoms.
The National Ebola Response Centre is assessing whether to isolate the whole village of Sella in the Kambia district where the woman, who was in her mid-60s, died.
The end of the outbreak will only be declared six weeks after the last Ebola patient either dies or tests negative for the virus.
At the height of the outbreak, Sierra Leone was reporting more than 500 new cases a week.
Meanwhile, in Guinea there were three confirmed cases in the week up to 23 August.
The last known Ebola case in Liberia was discharged on 23 July.
Reeling from low oil prices, Canada fell into a recession in the first half of the year, government data confirmed Tuesday, putting Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper on the defensive in the run-up to October elections.
According to Statistics Canada, the economy contracted 0.5 percent in the second quarter after retreating 0.8 percent in the previous three months. It is Canada's second recession in seven years and it is the only Group of Seven nation in economic retreat. The figures are the weakest since the 2008 global financial crisis.
The data reflects fears about the health of the global economy as more gloomy evidence emerged of a slowdown in China, a main engine of growth worldwide.
Harper, whose Tories are trailing their rivals in opinion polls ahead of the October 19 election, blamed the overseas turmoil for Canada's woes, and emphasized an expansion in the economy in June.
Canada, the world's fifth-largest oil producer, has been hit particularly hard by the halving of world oil prices from above $100 last year. In the second quarter, its mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction sector posted a "notable decrease" for a second consecutive quarter, said the government statistical agency.
Analysts said the damage however could be limited.
"Despite the weak start to the year, there is good reason to believe that the worst is over," said TD economist Brian DePratto. DePratto cited the sharp increase in GDP in June, "providing positive momentum to start the second half of the year." He predicted a "sharp rebound" in the third quarter with growth reaching 2.5 percent by year's end.
On the campaign trail, where the economy has dominated the debate, opposition parties pounced on the grim data, urging voters to send the Tories packing.
"Under Stephen Harper, this has been Canada's lost decade," leftist New Democratic Party candidate Andrew Thomson told a press conference in Ottawa. "Ten years of job losses, continued crumbling of infrastructure, tax breaks for the wealthy and a situation where the middle class continues to struggle to get ahead, 150 billion dollars in new debt and two recessions -- people are telling us they have had enough."
Thomson -- whose critiques were echoed by the Liberals -- said the Conservatives' stewardship of the economy has been a failure.
"We need to bring change to Ottawa," he said.
Harper has insisted that, oil aside, the rest of the economy is doing well, although the figures point to broad declines in a third of sectors. At a steel plant in Hamilton, Ontario, he urged voters to support his party's leadership, saying he had "the proven experience to keep us safe and keep our economy moving forward."

The fall in commodity prices across the board has greatly harmed the Canadian economy -- just as it has damaged activity in the US. (Another copper mine just announced it was closing in Arizona.)
U.S. Senator John McCain will point to his success in bringing important projects to Arizona and his new influence as chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee as key reasons why voters should return him to Congress for a sixth term.
Arizona's senior senator said in a wide-ranging interview with The News Agency Not be Named Tuesday that he's not taking a primary challenge from Republican state Senator Kelli Ward for granted and plans an aggressive primary and general re-election campaign.
McCain pointed to his efforts to keep the Air Force from retiring the A-10 attack jet, reopening a fish hatchery in Mojave County and pushing a highway bypass in Pima County as successes. And he said his leadership on national security issues is particularly needed amid growing world-wide threats.

This is just beltway insiders and their string pullers, working Thad Chochran style to prop up whats essentially a shambling corpse for them to use, Weekend At Bernie's style. Why? because they retain power, and keep another possibly real conservative (like Lee from Utah or Cruz from Texas) from destroying the oligarchy.
[AnNahar] NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... on Tuesday activated command units in six central and eastern European members to boost defense amid regional tensions over Russia's actions in Ukraine, Lithuania's defense ministry said.
"NATO today officially activated NATO force integration units in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Bulgaria and Romania," ministry spokeswoman Asta Galdikaite told AFP.
The Baltic nation's foreign minister Linas Linkevicius said the move was "a clear sign that NATO takes it's commitments very seriously".
"It is a clear message both to allies and, of course, opponents who have recently increased the tensions," the minister told AFP, without directly naming Russia.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg will attend ceremonies in Vilnius Thursday formally inaugurating the string of units, an alliance statement said.
The six multinational units with around 40 officers each were set up to facilitate the deployment of the newly forged NATO rapid reaction force and coordinate military drills.
It is the latest NATO move to boost defenses in the eastern flank since Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine last year.
NATO has increased the number of military exercises, deployed planes and ships while the U.S. pledged to keep heavy weapons in the region that lay behind the Iron Curtain a quarter of a century ago.
Latvia confirmed Tuesday that two U.S. Army Predator surveillance drones and 70 airmen had deployed to its Lielvarde Air Base for a training mission.
"They are here... they will be staying for two weeks for training purposes -- it is not a permanent deployment," Latvian Defence Ministry spokeswoman Anete Gneze told AFP.
Intelligence training will involve two intelligence officers from Poland and each of the Baltic nations of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.
The moves come less than two weeks after NATO opened a new Strategic Communications Center of Excellence in the Latvian capital, Riga.
Though officials have been at pains not to describe it as a counter-propaganda center, part of its brief is to analyze aggressive messages emanating from media operated by Russia.
The three Baltic states and Poland have also repeatedly called for a permanent NATO presence to deter Russia but the Western alliance has so far stuck to back-to-back troop rotations.
Critics contend that permanent military bases could breach a 1997 agreement with Russia and trigger an arms race as Moscow accuses NATO of closing in on Russia's borders.
Linkevicius insisted Russian military exercises have recently been much larger than NATO drills.
"We've repeatedly said our steps are not directed against anybody. We are only meeting the commitments to secure NATO countries and citizens," he said.

However much we'd like to think of gender as a social construct, science suggests that real differences do exist between female and male brains. The latest evidence: a first-of-its-kind European study that finds that the female brain can be drastically reshaped by treating it with testosterone over time.
Research has shown that women have the advantage when it comes to memory and language, while men tend to have stronger spatial skills (though this too has been disputed). But due to ethical restrictions, no study had been able to track the direct effect that testosterone exposure has on the brain--until now. Using neuroimaging, Dutch and Austrian researchers found that an increase in this potent hormone led to shrinkage in key areas of the female (transitioning to male) brain associated with language. They presented their findings at last week's annual meeting of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology in Amsterdam.

We're awash in lysenkoism that prohibits 'impure' thoughts in science. Academia has long lost the defense of 'academic freedom' though its own actions.

Recently, the following was reported in the local newspaper: Staff and students in the University of Tennessee Office for Diversity and Inclusion want people to think beyond the “he/she” pronouns and are encouraging use of gender-neutral pronouns such as “xe,” “xym,” and “xyr.”
Fortunately, the lawmakers in Nashville who control the purse strings said this is an example of PC run amok. There are still some reasonable people who call things what they are.
Seriously, what is this infatuation with trying to give men the menses? I'm already an emotional wreck for a week after the wife, and with all true respect...not interested.
