[BREITBART] A 22-year-old asylum seeker has been given a suspended sentence after he attempted to pay a local hooker with fake cash he had made on a photocopier.
The 22-year-old, who is said not to have a very firm grasp of German, attempted to buy the services of a hooker at a brothel in the town of Sindelfingen. When he gave her cash, the hooker noticed the bills were obvious fakes and alerted security who called the police, Stuttgarter Zeitung reports.
Investigators soon learned that the migrant had used a colour copy machine at the Magstadt asylum home where he volunteered doing janitorial work and had made 18 copies of a 50 euro note. They say the 22-year-old did a "sloppy job" on the fakes and were also able to locate scissors he had used to cut out the notes.
The asylum seeker initially told police he had come across the bills after selling his mobile phone but this was later proven false by the prosecutor. Even the brother of the asylum seeker admitted: "My brother has a problem with the truth."
The judge asked the 22-year-old, who lives with his 18-year-old wife and child, if he made the counterfeit notes because he was not getting enough money from the state. The man replied that his allowance, 1,300 euros a month, was fine and that the whole endeavour started as a joke.

Regarding the mystery payload for his Falcon Heavy rocket's test flight Elon Musk says:
[Twitter] Payload will be my midnight cherry Tesla Roadster playing Space Oddity. Destination is Mars orbit. Will be in deep space for a billion years or so if it doesn’t blow up on ascent.

Alternatively, he could take $200 million, make a pile and light it on fire. I'm sure the stockholders are thrilled. They'd be even more thrilled if Tesla could produce more than 10 Model 3 cars a day.

He could have built and launched an actual probe to a comet, like the so-called "interstellar asteroid" that flew past the inner system in the past year.

2008 Roadster as being 3,946 mm long and 1,873 mm wide, and the diagonal of such a rectangle is 4,368 mm, so it should fit a standard F9 fairing which offers 4.6 m ID.
[SI] the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... 49ers' Eric Reid told Slate Thursday he was told the NFL will allow funds from charitable campaigns to be shifted to fund a new social justice cause program announced this week.
Reid told Slate the plan to take away funds from breast cancer awareness and military service initiatives was one of the reasons he is breaking away from the Players Coalition. Reid and the Dolphins' Michal Thomas announced their decision to walk away Wednesday, saying we "don't believe the coalition's beliefs are in our best interests as a whole."
Reid said Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins told him of the plan to shift funds. Reid added that most of the players who have protested were not in agreement with the proposal.
"So it would really be no skin off the owners’ backs: They would just move the money from those programs to this one," Reid told Slate.
The NFL agreed to commit $89 million to social justice causes that will help African-American communities, with the money set for dealing with criminal justice reform, law enforcement/community relations and education, ESPN reported.
While the league and players did not agree to a resolution stopping players from protesting or taking a knee during the national anthem, Jenkins announced he won't raise his fist during the anthem. He said he was encouraged by the league's efforts.

Fraudulent use of donor funds. Provides 'entitlements' to pot smoking anti-cop socialist groups (BLM) who Obama is no longer supporting with fed $$$. In the meantime women across our nation continue to die from breast cancer.

Failing to nip this in the bud, the league has made this a PR and business disaster and now, shifting charitable funding to buy off the racists actually makes thus much much worse. Group think by cowardly owners afraid of their employees. They are going to lose a lot more money and fans! Idiots!!!

Muhammad Ali used to claim that his original name of Cassius Clay was a slave name, derived from the owners of his slave forebears in America. But what was the name of the man in Africa who sold those forebears into slavery in the first place?

[THECOLLEGEFIX] The student newspaper at Evergreen State College has a section in its opinion pages described as "for people of color by people of color."
"This should be a place where we can be us without it being overshadowed by the dark cloud that is living under white supremacy and having to see things from a white perspective. This is why when we do cover these issues it will be in the context and from the perspective of POC and POC only," according to the section’s editors as they reintroduced it to readers in September.
The anonymous column, known as "POC Talk," debuted in the bi-weekly Cooper Point Journal last year and returned this fall to the newspaper’s pages following racial unrest that erupted at the public university this past spring.
"Dear White people, please take a step back, this isn’t brown-people-answer-white-people’s-questions-hour, we’re asking specifically for submissions from POC," the section’s editors added in their September intro. "As being told no seems to be a difficult concept for some of y’all I await your emails about the Irish, how the term white fragility is mean (great example of white fragility) and how we need to view people through a color-blind lens (just lol). You will 100% not get a response!!!"

I would be more impressed with these neo-segregationists if they would reject all the products of the white devil's industry and cleverness. You know, that stuff that makes the 21st century different from the 14th - things like electricity, cell phones, cars, airplanes, antibiotics, the Internet. In short, the modern world.
To continue using them is cultural appropriation and we all know what a mortal sin *that* is.

Evergreen college is a college for those students who will never be able to complete a successful degree in a normal college/university, For one thing most institutes of higher learning grade their students. It's well known that Evergreen college students are so stupid they couldn't even get a grade, so there is a no grade policy at Evergreen.
I'm not sure what the criteria is for graduation, but suspect if they spend a certain amount of money (most of which they will never earn back), then they get to "graduate" with some BS (not bachelor of science) degree which will prove useless in the real world.
[WIKI] The division pushed toward the Saar on 25 November and entered Germany on the 28th. The 95th seized a Saar River bridge on 3 December and engaged in bitter house-to-house fighting for Saarlautern.[12] Suburbs of the city fell and, although the enemy resisted fiercely, the Saar bridgehead was firmly established by 19 December. While some units went to an assembly area, others held the area against strong German attacks.[12] On 2 February 1945, the division began moving to the Maastricht area in the Netherlands, and by 14 February, elements were in the line near Meerselo in relief of British units.[12] During this time the division returned to the Ninth Army under XIX Corps, though saw temporary assignments to several other corps through the spring.[11]
On 23 February, the division was relieved, and the 95th assembled near Julich, Germany, on 1 March. It forced the enemy into a pocket near the Hitler Bridge at Uerdingen and cleared the pocket on 5 March, while elements advanced to the Rhine.[12] From 12 March, the 95th established defenses in the vicinity of Neuss. Assembling east of the Rhine at Beckum on 3 April, it launched an attack across the Lippe River the next day and captured Hamm and Kamen on the 6th.[12] After clearing the enemy pocket north of the Ruhr and the Möhne Rivers, the division took Werl and Unna on 9/10 April, Dortmund on 13 April and maintained positions on the north bank of the Ruhr.[12] It held this position until the end of the war. A simple tribute.

[All Africa] FOLLOWING the recent military intervention which brought to a dramatic end former president Bob Muggsy Mugabe Nonagenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case. Dumped in November 2017 when the Missus decided she wanted to be president, and opposed heer might against Crocodile Mnangawa Important safety tip: If your opponent goes by the name Crocodile andf your title is Shopper in Chief let him win.... 's 37-year-old rule, his family is now scattered across different countries, while their multi-million dollar businesses and deals face collapse.
The Mugabe family has a multi-million-dollar empire built around numerous farms, prime real estate, various businesses and lucrative tenders which they wrested for self-aggrandisement.
The family also benefitted heavily directly and indirectly from public funds during Mugabe's endless globe-trotting trips.
On some occasions the family used public funds to acquire private assets.
By mid-year, Mugabe had overspent on travel by US$23 million. His budget was US$30, but he spent US$53 million on largely futile foreign trips. Overall, his office had a US$43 million budget overrun.
Investigations by the Zim-bob-we Independent show that Mugabe's wife Grace used to siphon millions during the trips.
"On one occasion this year, for instance, his wife took about US$3,5 million during a foreign trip," a senior Treasury official said this week.
"There is also another example; the money used to buy their mansion in Sandhurst, Sandton, Johannesburg in South Africa came from public funds through local banks. At one point Grace also demanded that Patrick Chinamasa (who was Finance minister and still is) buys cars for her and he had to find the money.
"These are just a few examples, but there was a pattern or systematic looting of public funds. Ministry of Finance and Reserve Bank of Zim-bob-we officials know this."
Sources close to the family told the Independent that while Mugabe and Grace still remain holed up in their Blue Roof mansion in Harare, their children have been scattered by the political upheavals which engulfed Zim-bob-we recently leading to their dramatic loss of power.
The sources said Mugabe's step son, Russel Goreraza, who is Grace's first child with her former husband and hence the former president's step son, is the only one who is still in Harare.
Their daughter Bona, son-in-law Simba Chikore and grandson Simbanashe left for Malaysia on Friday last week. Bona is said to be expecting her second child.
Mugabe's party-loving boys Robert Junior and Bellarmine Chatunga are staying at their affluent Sandhurst mansion. In fact, they have two properties there and were contemplating buying another one.
Mugabe's nephew Patrick Zhuwao is also holed up in Johannesburg after failing to return home from a trip to Argentina ...a country located on the other side of the Deep South. It is covered with Pampers and inhabited by Grouchos, who dance the Tangle. They used to have some islands called the Malvinas located where the Falklands are now. They're not supposed to cry for Evita... in the aftermath of the military takeover. His family members have reportedly joined him in South Africa.
Grace's allies and former cabinet ministers Jonathan Moyo and Saviour Kasukuwere, as well as their families, who sought refuge at the Blue Roof after the army intervention, have also left the country. They are understood to be in Kenya.
Moyo and Kasukuwere's families had remained in the country, but fled after the military raided their homes for the second time last Thursday. The army initially stormed their homes in the wee hours of November 15.

[DAWN] Zim-bob-we's new president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, came under fire on Friday for unveiling a debut cabinet that named two military allies to top positions, reappointed figures from the discredited Mugabe era and sidelined the opposition.
Mnangagwa gave key jobs to two top military officers, including Sibusiso Moyo, a major general who on November 15 went on state TV to announce the military's takeover ‐ a power grab which climaxed a week later when Bob Muggsy Mugabe Nonagenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case. Dumped in November 2017 when the Missus decided she wanted to be president, and opposed heer might against Crocodile Mnangawa Important safety tip: If your opponent goes by the name Crocodile andf your title is Shopper in Chief let him win.... quit the presidency.
According to a statement released late Thursday, Moyo was appointed foreign minister while the long-serving airforce commander, Perence Shiri, became minister of lands and agriculture, a vital job following the controversial seizure of land from white farmers nearly two decades ago.
Observers sharply criticised the lineup, and the choices drew groans of dismay from many Zim-bob-weans.
"The deployment of senior members of the military into the cabinet is profoundly shocking," said Piers Pigou of the Brussels-based think tank, the International Crisis Group (ICG).
Their appointment suggests "the army has gained so much influence in government, it is going to start to dominate government, " said Abel Esterhuyse, a strategy professor at South Africa's Stellenbosch University.

[ARABNEWS] Special women’s detention centers will be set up to hold anyone incarcerated Please don't kill me! after the ban on driving is lifted.
Labor and Social Development Ministry front man Khaled Aba al-Khail told al-Watan daily on Thursday that the ministry has been coordinating with the Interior Ministry about cases that would entail detention.
Sources told al-Watan that universities had signed agreements with the General Directorate of Traffic Police to open driving schools within their campuses to train women wishing to learn to drive. Arrangements are underway to prepare these schools by the end of February 2018.
Sources from Noura University said that trainers’ positions would be for Saudi women who hold international driving licenses.
These women would undertake a training course to improve their expertise and familiarize themselves with the basics of safe driving.
The sources added that the driving schools would target not just university staff, but interested women from outside the university.

Special detention centers
Something like red tents?
So they will ‘detain’ any woman found driving.
[UPI] Turkish authorities issued an arrest warrant Friday for an ex-official with the Central Intelligence Agency over his alleged role in a failed coup attempt last year.
Graham Fuller was accused of being in Turkey at the time of the coup attempt in the country launched by military members in July 2016. After the attempt failed, Fuller left the country.
Istanbul's Chief Public Prosecutor's Office accused Fuller of attempting to overthrow the Turkish government and obstructing duties, obtaining state information that must be kept secret for political and military espionage purposes and attempting to overthrow constitutional order.
The warrant also says Fuller was in contact with Henri Barkey -- an American academic who has also had a Turkish arrest warrant against him and others who played a role in the attempted coup.
Prosecutors accused Barkey of organizing and coordinating the coup attempt at a meeting on Istanbul's Buyukada island last year -- a meeting which authorities say Fuller was also a part of.
The arrest warrant came after Alexander Dugin, a Russian strategist, claimed during an interview that Fuller and Barkey both attended the meeting in Buyukada and said Russian intelligence possessed "concrete evidence that CIA agents commanded the failed coup attempt."
In 2006, Fuller wrote a letter in support of Fethullah Gulen's U.S. green card application. Gulen is considered to be the coup's mastermind.

[The Hill] The White House said on Friday that it was the Obama administration that authorized former national security adviser Michael Flynn's contacts with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during President Trump's transition, according to CNN.
Flynn pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Kislyak in the month before Trump took office, the first current or former Trump White House official brought down by special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's election meddling.
Court records indicate that his communications with Kislyak were directed by a Trump transition official, with multiple news outlets reporting that official was Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner.
"They are saying here at the White House that Flynn’s conversations with Sergey Kisylak were quote ’authorized’ by the Obama administration," CNN correspondent Jim Acosta said. Not that approval or disapproval will make any difference at this point.
[Reuters] President Donald Trump is likely to announce next week that the United States recognizes Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, a senior administration official said on Friday, a move that would upend decades of American policy and possibly inflame tensions in the Middle East.
[NYTIMES] A prominent Anglican holy man and gay rights campaigner known for contentious gestures has urged believers to pray for Prince George ‐ age 4, and third in line to the throne ‐ to find the love "of a fine young gentleman" when he grows up so as to advance the cause of same-sex marriage in church.
Coming just days after Prince Harry ‐ George’s uncle, and fifth in line ‐ announced his engagement to Meghan Markle, a divorced American actress, the suggestion by the Very Rev. Kelvin Holdsworth seemed to illuminate once more the role of royal romance in Britannia’s imagination and conversation, especially when it collides with tradition.
Prince Harry and Ms. Markle have said they will marry in May at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, west of London. But it is only since 2002 that the Church of England has permitted church marriages for divorced people, "in exceptional circumstances" at the discretion of parish priests. The church teaching is that marriage is for life.
While same-sex marriage is permitted by law in most of Britannia, the Church of England says on its website, "it remains the case that it is not legally possible for same-sex couples to marry" in its churches.
Mr. Holdsworth, the provost of St. Mary’s Cathedral in Glasgow, belongs to the Scottish Episcopal Church, a separate province of the Anglican Communion that voted in June to let its priests solemnize same-sex marriages.
