Criminal Who Was Bailed Out of Jail by Nonprofit Funded by Biden's Staffers Violently Assaults Man
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] A 32-year-old accused felon committed another violent assault against an innocent man after being bailed out by the nonprofit funded by Biden’s staffers.

The Minnesota Freedom Fund received $35 million in donations during the George Floyd riots and Biden’s campaign staffers were among the people who made substantial donations.

Lionel Timms was bailed out of jail in July thanks to the Minnesota Freedom Fund touted by Biden’s running mate Kamala Harris.

Timms was rearrested in August and faces one felony count of third-degree assault — causing substantial bodily harm, after he repeatedly kicked a man in the head.

The victim suffered a traumatic brain injury, a fractured skull and brain bleed all because Kamala Harris and Biden’s staffers helped bail Timms out of jail.

Minnesota CBS reported:


A 32-year-old Minneapolis man, who was bailed out of jail by the Minnesota Freedom Fund in July after an alleged assault, is accused in another assault that left the victim with a traumatic brain injury.

According to the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, Lionel Timms faces one felony count of third-degree assault — causing substantial bodily harm — in connection to the Aug. 14 incident.

The morning of the incident, Timms allegedly punched and kicked a victim in an alley located on the 300 block of Hennepin Avenue East. Witnesses reported seeing the victim being kicked while on the ground. Timms was arrested in the early afternoon after the report of a suspicious person, the complaint said.

The victim is being treated at Hennepin Healthcare for a traumatic brain injury, a fractured skull and a brain bleed. The victim also needed stitches.


The Minnesota Freedom Fund said Timms’ violent assault against an innocent man is the government’s fault.

“We paid his bail after working to first ensure that Mr. Timms would be provided with housing and other necessary support as Mr. Timms requested,” the Minnesota Freedom Fund said. “Delays in the government’s processing of his release prevented him from receiving that assistance, setting the stage for the subsequent tragedy.”

The Minnesota Freedom Fund says the criminal justice system failed in this case, but it “didn’t do enough to mitigate that damage” by giving Timms the support he needed, reported Minnesota CBS.

Timms is currently in custody and is facing 5 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.

‘It has to be meaningful': Parents recall a life that began in Spokane and ended in apparent political killing in Portland
[Spokesman] Friday was supposed to be Aaron "Jay" Danielson’s 40th birthday.

Instead, his father and stepmother were sitting on their back deck in rural Spokane County, recalling his life and the circumstances that led to his death six days before, on a downtown Portland street corner, from a gunshot to his chest.

The instant in which Danielson’s life was taken has been the subject of countless news articles, fodder in the heated presidential campaign, and a significant flashpoint in the political divisiveness and unrest roiling much of the country.

#1  I feel for the family, trying to grieve while Jay was smeared by a the mayor of Portland, the governor of OR, and candidate Biden.Absolutely grotesque. It continues: local Proud Boys held a memorial gathering where yet another Antifa SA ran over one of those attending the memorial, nearly killing him outright. The man in question is still critical.

Voters should notice despite the MSM's best efforts. Hopefully they will notice more than when they elected Zero the weatherman terrorist groupie.

Conflict Within GNA Frozen Since Bashagha's Reinstatement to Power
[LIBYAREVIEW] The Prime Minister of the Government of National Accord (GNA), Fayez al-Sarraj, reinstated Interior Minister Fathi Bashagha after a six-day suspension. Since Bashagha’s reinstatement, the UN-backed government’s internal clash pitting al-Sarraj and his powerful vice-president Ahmed Maiteeq against Bashagha has been frozen for the time being.Bashagha’s suspension was due to al-Sarraj suspecting him to have opened the way for demonstrators to protest corruption and the deterioration of living conditions in Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
. Pro-Sarraj bandidos gunnies had to intervene violent mostly peacefully to disperse the anti-government protests, something that deeply shocked the Interior Minister who was at the time on a visit to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...Qatar's satrapy in Asia Minor...
Since Sunday, August 30, protests over worsening living conditions and corruption have escalated in Tripoli. Armed forces have used gunfire to disperse demonstrators, and the GNA has imposed a 24-hour curfew for four days to curb the protests.

Fifth Column
Pubs Want Force to Quell Mostly Peacful Riots
[Dallas News] New Dallas Morning News poll finds gaping partisan chasm on friction between Trump’s ’law and order’ approach and demands to end police brutality and racism.
Newspaper article front-page title is Texans Deeply Divided About Response to Protests, which is more fair than the on-line version - Rubber bullets? Tear gas? In Texas, most Republicans OK putting down protests by force; most Dems don’t support the tactics. Nice job vilifying the Pubs, by comparing apples to hippos.
Texans are deeply divided about the use of force to quell mostly peaceful protests against police brutality, with a new poll exposing a chasm of mistrust between Democrats who are largely sympathetic to mostly peaceful protesters and Republicans who back President Donald Trump's "law and order" crackdown on rioters and looters.

Just 15% of Democrats support deploying the military in response to mostly peaceful protests, as Trump has repeatedly threatened to use to quell riots and looting, compared with 70% of Republicans.
Whaddaya call those arguments? Straw Men? Red herrings? Or just selective comparisons?
"Let's face it, a lot of what is being called protests is actually riots," said conservative poll respondent James, 53, an insurance broker in Paris, Texas. "The heck with rubber bullets. People are taking people out of cars and killing people or beating people up. Those people should be shot."

Deandra, 48, a tax accountant who lives in West Dallas, told pollsters she strongly opposes the use of force to disperse protesters trying to shine a light on police brutality and racial injustice.
Two different issues, presented as opposite equivalences. Who is dividing the country?

#3  Other conclusions from the survey results, as reported in the link:

1. 62% of Republicans do not support the use of tear gas and rubber bullets against peaceful protestors.

2. 41% of Dems do not oppose deploying the military.

3. 51% of Dems do not oppose the use of tear gas and rubber bullets against confrontational protestors.

Selective data manipulation; shocking, I know.

Wheeler studied business at Columbia - but doesn't understand the basics of investment risk (e.g. investors will now demand a crushing risk premium to invest in his sh!thole city).

Wheeler studied policy at Harvard - but doesn't understand the basics of public order and safety (e.g. without effective policing no sane resident, including himself, will remain in his sh!thole city).

Idiot Wheeler represents the complete failure of the elite US higher ed system as it relates to training this nation's political class.

And I would bet at least a couple of them will be willing to offer direct aid to the Greeks to shut up Erdogan for good.

#13  Wild Card: Bulgaria, Hungary, Egypt, and of course, in a guerrilla mode, the Kurds.

Bulgarians share a long border. They have very little in the way of airforce, but the US almost always has troops on exercise in Bulgaria, as well as the main airbase in Bulgaria is #6 most busy in the region for US and NATO forces.

Romania is more militarily capable, and is just a jump across the black sea from a lot of valuable Turkish military and infrastructure targets.

Egypt enters into this because the Tuks are stirring up trouble in Libya, and have been running air space incusrions over Egypt. The egyptians would secure Greece's southern ocean flank glady, because doing so would choke off the Tuks in Libya, Saving Egypt a lot of trouble, cheaply.

The Kurds could bring oil production and mineral production to a standstill if their Russian benefactors (they know better than trust the US again) back them. Russia gains by tightening the oil market and destabilizing the eastern end of the black sea and Mediterranean without having to become directly involved other than in Syria against Turkish forces and proxies there.

The Sultan may think he can win, but after Istanbul wakes up to no power, no water, and the Straits and their major ports being closed, "victory" will not last long. A crippled Turkey benefits Russia, and at the same time turns NATO upon itself, hastening the end og NATO as a viable military and political alliance.

Iraq
Forbes: Iraq latest Middle East country to modernize old tanks
[THEBAGHDADPOST] Over the summer, Iraq unveiled its domestically-built Khafil-1 tank. The tank is a heavily modified and modernized version of the vintage T-55/Type 59 tanks that have long been in the Iraqi Army’s arsenal, Paul Iddon of Forbes reported.

The Khafil-1 has a new and smaller turret and more modern reactive armor to protect its crew from RPGs or anti-tank missiles, a crucially important feature for the kind of conflicts the Iraqi Army fights, and a remote-controlled machine gun.

By extensively modernizing its T-55/Type 59s to more adequately deal with the kind of threats its forces will most likely face for the foreseeable future, Baghdad has undoubtedly prolonged the lifespan and usage of what are otherwise very antiquated tanks.

Other states in the Middle East have modernized and upgraded their older tanks for similar reasons.

For example, Egypt has a large arsenal of vintage T-54/55 and T-62s, many of which it has in storage. Cairo successfully prolonged the life of some of its T-54s by heavily modifying them and making a new variant called the Ramses II.

The Ramses II is a T-54 outfitted with both the engine and gun of the American M60, of which Egypt operates well over 1,000 of to this day.

Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
has also modified and built its own version of various tanks for years now. Beginning in 1996, it began building the Zulfiqar family of tanks. Three versions have been built to date. Iran likely developed the tank from components of older American M60 Patton and Russian T-72 tanks, both of which Iran has operated over the years.

The tank also bears a striking resemblance to the U.S. M1 Abrams tank, which Iran has never possessed. One overview of the Zulfiqar 3 noted that the layout is also very similar.

Other Iranian tanks borrow heavily from the design of foreign armor. For example, Iran’s Mobarez tank is an upgraded domestically-built variant of the British Chieftain tank, of which Iran operated several since the 1970s.

(AEOI) said on Sunday that those responsible for Natanz nuclear facility incident have been identified.Behrouz Kamalvandi maintained that many cyber-attacks and industrial sabotages against Iran’s nuclear program have been foiled by intelligence agencies.

"Unfortunately, the incident at Natanz nuclear enrichment facility was an act of sabotage and the investigations are still underway," he noted.

He went on to say that intelligence organizations have identified the perpetrators and are fully aware of this issue.

On July 2, t Kamalvandi revealed the occurrence of an incident in one of the under-construction sheds in the Natanz nuclear facility.

This incident had not any casualties and also has not incurred any damage to the current activities of the facility.

Referring to the incident that took place in Natanz enrichment facility, Iranian Foreign Ministry’s Spokesman Seyed Abbas Mousavi said in case a regime or a government is involved in the Natanz incident, Iran will react decisively.

On July 13, Kamalvandi said that the strategic and inviolable policy of the establishment is giving a smart and ingenious response.

"While the Western-Zionist media has attributed the Natanz incident to sabotage or attack, there is no sign of condemnation of the attack in their explanation," he said.

SDF Expects International Intervention If Turkey Attacks NE Syria: Official
[THEBAGHDADPOST] The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) expects the intervention of the international community if The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
plans again to attack the Kurds in northeastern Syria, commonly known as Rojava or Syrian Kurdistan, an official said.

Turkey and its affiliated Islamist groups are now in control of swathes of areas in northern and northwestern Syria after multiple military operations to drive the Kurdish forces out of the border strip.

Mustafa Bali, head of SDF media center, has reiterated his party’s commitment to the US-Turkey and Russia-Turkey agreements which has so far halted the military actions in the region.

Following the deal between Washington and Ankara, Turkey ended Operation Peace Spring against the SDF. Later on, a separate agreement between Moscow and Ankara, convinced the Kurdish-led SDF to withdraw from the border territories and allow Russian and Syrian regime forces to fill the gap.

However,
a woman is only as old as she admits...
Bali said Turkey is likely to conduct another military incursion in Syria at any moment, for which the SDF is expecting its international partners to step in.
