Some girls take the veil;

Victorian beekeepers? These
Were persons of great expertise,
Deft hands who'd not shirk
The most delicate work:
Getting petticoats onto their bees.
I mean, jeez, have you ever looked at a bee's knees? Puh-leeze. And the seamstress were nothing to sneeze at, either.
[ToloNews] Afghan officials have confirmed that the Taliban ...Arabic for students... has used "weaponized drones" in some attacks on government forces in recent weeks.
The officials said "the Taliban embeds mortar rounds or small bombs with the drones and drop them on military and government installations."
Kunduz, Pashtun-infested Logar, Balkh, Paktia and Faryab provinces have witnessed Taliban attacks by use of drones in recent weeks, local officials said.
In one of these incidents on November 1, a group of soldiers were playing volleyball in a sports ground in Kunduz governor’s compound at around 5pm local time when they were attacked by a mortar shell. The incident left four dead and six maimed.
Local officials said initial reports showed that a drone has been used in the attack.
"Investigation into the incident is underway to find out whether it was a mortar shell, or it was dropped by a drone," said Esmatullah Muradi, front man for Kunduz governor.
On Saturday, Nov. 7, the road that connects Baraki Barak district with the center of Pashtun-infested Logar province witnessed a kaboom following by shootout. Security sources said that in this incident, a "weaponized drone" dropped small bombs on an army outpost in the district.
Local officials have not commented on this. But Pashtun-infested Logar governor Mohammad Ajmal Shahpoor said that a bomb was dropped on the army outpost before the shootout.
"Two of our soldiers were maimed in the incident and a military tank hit a roadside mine when they returned from the incident in which one person was killed," the governor said.
A photo of one of a weaponized drone was made public on March 8. Afghan forces said they took down the drone.
Security sources said that Afghan forces so far have taken down few other drones in some provinces that carried bombs and mortar rounds.
Faryab governor Naqibullah Faeq said there are signs of use of drones by the Taliban in the province.
"These drones have the capacity to film during nights. These drones have been used in Qaisar festivities as well as in the festivities in Khwaja Sabz Posh district (in Faryab)," he said.
Security sources said that the drones can be controlled from five kilometers distance.
Edmund Fitton-Brown, Monitoring Team Coordinator of the United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... , said he cannot reject the use of drones by the Taliban and other hard boy groups in the country.
"... At the end, the weaponisation of drones is something that any terrorist group or any hard boy group might do. So I have no knowledge of the Taliban’s drone capability but I have no reason to say that they don’t have one," he said.
The National Security Council did not provide figures on use of drones in attacks by the Taliban so far. But front man of the council, Rahmatullah Andar, said efforts are underway to reduce damages in possible drone attacks.
"We have considered special measures for important areas where security and defense forces bases are located or in areas with gatherings so that drones cannot infiltrate there," Rahmatullah said.
TOLOnews could not get the Taliban’s comments on the use of drones by the group. Taliban spokesmen refused to talk on the matter.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Azerbaijan admitted on Monday it had shot down a Russian helicopter on its border with Armenia and apologized.
"The Azerbaijani side offers an apology to the Russian side in connection with this tragic incident," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
The ministry added that the move was an “accident” and "not aimed against" Moscow and offered to pay compensation.
Russia’s defense ministry had said that on of its Mi-24 helicopters was downed over Armenia near the border with Azerbaijan, killing two crew members and injuring another.
Moscow said its helicopter was accompanying a vehicle convoy near Nakhchivan but didn't clarify the purpose of the convoy. Russia has a large military base in Armenia, but it is about 150 kilometers (90 miles) from where the helicopter was shot down.
Nakhchivan is about 70 kilometers (40 miles) from Nagorno-Karabakh.
Azerbaijan's foreign ministry said the helicopter flew at a low altitude during hours of darkness and close to the state border between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
"Helicopters of the Russian air force had not been previously sighted in the area," the statement added.

Reason Armenia could not join NATO: Russian military base deployed in Armenia in 1996 (before that, installation was known as the 127th MRD of the Soviet Ground Forces). The treaty states that Russian military will be in the base for 25 years. Armenian authorities said that this time-frame can be reviewed. Russia does not pay for the military base stationed in Gyumri. Armenia takes care of all public utilities water, electricity, etc.
In 1997, Armenia and Russia signed a far-reaching friendship treaty, which calls for mutual assistance in the event of a military threat to either party and allows Russian border guards to patrol Armenia’s frontiers with Turkey and Iran.

[Azeris and] Turks have a decent knack at shooting down Russian aircraft.

[Breitbart] Belgian police have arrested two teenagers who are suspected of plotting to stab coppers and had sworn allegiance to the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... The two suspects, aged 16 and 17, were arrested in the province of Liège after raids were conducted in Eupen and La Calamine.
According to Sherlocks, the two teens pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and recorded a video of themselves doing so, 7sur7 reports.
The federal prosecutor’s office released a statement on Thursday praising the work of the federal judicial police and local prosecutors, saying that "a rapid intervention was carried out and possible criminal acts were prevented."
Justice Minister Vincent Van Quickenborne’s office said that the country’s security services were actively "patrolling" on social media following the Islamic terrorist attacks in La Belle France and Austria in recent weeks.

I always remember the photo of I believe the Czech guy when the Nazi's marched in. Somebody out and about in town and forced into the street to render their proprietary salute and tag line. He still had the decency to feel humiliation.

Anti-Fart attacking Democrats now!
Has this Socialist bread Animal turned on it own?
Or was ANTI-FART actually a Foreign lead backdoor funded Radical Group with a greater ANTI-USA agenda, as many suspect.
If the latter, how will we as US citizens legally address those ANTI-USA plans? Since our State and Federal Government has failed to take serious actions to stop/curtail theses and the Marxist BLM Rioters, Looters, and Arsonists.
Never happen, no matter how many die. We see his followers, like AOC, scattered across the landscape but, like Moses, the honourable senator will never be allowed into the promised land.
Sanders is a Judas goat to get the far left onto the Democrat plantation. They rigged their nomination twice against him and he smiled and endorsed the cheater both times.

I agree with NN2N1 in that the politician caste and the Blamtifa may have a common opponent, but are definitely not the same team; I suspect they even hate each other, never mind distrust.
Sanders got screwed in 2016, no doubt. This year, he ran, and was doing well, until the fix got put in by the politician class, then he hung around to increase the exit money.
#5
Like him or not, the Dems stiffed Bernie in 2016 and in 2020. I hope his three mansions help him forget about being stiffed. Maybe he's got four mansions now, I don't know.
I believe this is the first rioter in Portland to be sentenced to prison time out of nearly 1,000 cases this year. If it weren't for the undercover filming by @livesmattershow & @FromKalen, the assault would not have been documented. Portland journalists actually look other way.

Marquise Lee Love will have a little time to think things over and he will pick up felony for a violent attack. Love may be gettin a little lovin while in jail. He may not have to bend over too much in the shower.
Probably barred from a legal firearm. If he can't expunge his record and restore his rights he won't be able to legally vote. Some rights may not be restored. He may have to report to a parole officer for awhile.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... ’s intelligence agency has "neutralized" the criminal mastermind of a 2016 suicide truck bombing that killed 12 coppers, the official Anadolu news agency reported on Monday.
The outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), listed as a terror group by Turkey and its Western allies, claimed the attack on a police building in the southeastern city of Cizre, which also maimed 75 other coppers and civilians.
The choices are PKK, Gulenists or, very rarely, one of the pet government jihadis running amok.
Mesut Taskin, whom Turkey blames for orchestrating the attack, was "neutralized" in an operation carried out by Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT) abroad, Anadolu said, citing security sources.
Ottoman Turkish officials use the term "neutralize" to refer to operations in which suspects are either killed or captured.
Turkey released no details about the operation, or say where it was staged.
Cizre, a majority Kurdish town near Turkey’s border with Syria and Iraq, was badly hit by violence after a 2015 ceasefire between the PKK and government forces collapsed.
