[Siasat] In a near rerun of the Dana Majhi incident in Kalahandi, a man here was forced to walk miles carrying his seven-year-old daughter’s body today as the ambulance transporting them allegedly left them midway.
The ambulance driver had allegedly asked the girl’s parents to get down after coming to know that the girl has died on the way to Malkangiri district hospital.
Barsha Khemudu of Ghusapalli in Malkangiri died while being taken by her parents in the ambulance from Mithali hospital from where she was referred to Malkangiri district hospital following deterioration in her health condition.
"The driver asked us to get down from the ambulance as soon as he came to know about the girl’s death on the way," Dinabandhu Khemudu, the girl’s father, said.
The matter came to light when locals inquired about Khemudu and his wife walking carrying the body of their daughter. The villagers then contacted the local BDO and medical authorities to get another vehicle to carry the body to their village.
Meanwhile, ...back at the abandoned silver mine, there was another kaboom... Malkangiri district collector K Sudarshan Chakravarthy has asked the chief district medical officer Uday Shankar Mishra to probe into the matter. The CDMO has filed an FIR at Malkangiri cop shoppe against the driver, a pharmacist and an attendant who were in the ambulance.
"It was totally illegal and criminal negligence on the part of the driver. Stringent action will be taken against persons responsible for the incident," Chakravarthy told news hounds, adding the district administration has provided immediate financial assistance to the girl’s parents.
When contacted, Mishra said the act was "inhuman". "After coming to know the incident, I immediately sent another vehicle which dropped the girl’s family at their village," he said.
Dana Majhi had to walk about 10 km from Bhawanipatna in Kalahandi district along with his teenage daughter on August 24 carrying his wife’s body on his shoulders after allegedly being denied a hearse by Kalahandi district hospital.

[FinancialTimes] Mexico's President Enrique Peña Nieto scrambled on Thursday to control the fallout from a meeting with Donald Trump that left him looking like a pawn in the US Republican presidential candidate’s campaign over illegal immigration.
If the president had been hoping that his invitation to a man he brands a "threat" to the countries’ relations would change Mr Trump's stance over immigration -- which includes building a wall along the US-Mexico border -- then his plan failed. Hours after their meeting in Mexico City on Wednesday, Mr Trump at a speech in Arizona vowed "no amnesty" for immigrants and maintained his insistence that Mexico would pay to barricade the border if he won the White House.
"Trump did whatever he liked with Enrique Peña Nieto, who gave a brilliant demonstration of his weakness," said Sergio Aguayo, a political commentator.

Like I've said previously, a $1.00 per transaction surcharge on WESTERN UNION money transfers to Mexico would probably build and sustain a handsome structure.

Fuck that noise. Make it 10 to 15% - enough to rake in a good amount of cash, not enough to encourage other methods of sending money to Mexico on a large scale.
[GP] Hillary Clinton took the day off on Thursday.
Her next event is scheduled for Monday. In her absence the Clinton Campaign invited Joe Biden to headline a rally in Ohio. Only 200 people showed up... Including the paid union hacks.

She will still get the democratic ideologues and the libtard wymns choice, baby parts selling crowd. Roe vs Wade has changed politics like nothing else, and HRC is a staunch Planned Parenthood supporter.
The graphic is unfortunate at too many levels to discuss.

Note the US sat companies want to sell better images but ITAR prohibits it.
Digital Globe (DGI) asked and filled out all the forms to sell get permission to sell higher resolution images over 2 years ago and hasn't heard a boo from the ITAR folks. The NRO and House and Senate are mad. A House Senate conference committee ordered the ITAR bureaucrats to give DGI a yes or no or maybe answer by July 20th. The House the Senate the NRO and DGI didn't hear a peep.
The ITAR rules are even keeping the NRO from sharing their images with the BRITS or AUSSIES! Seriously! They are really upset. Also, they can't encourage private companies like DGI to loft sats that can provide images they can use and buy if they can't sell the images to even allies.
The NRO is now so made they have arranged an emergency House Senate Intelligence Committee meeting on Sept 9th to discuss the whole image resolution and ITAR rules. (Some discussion has even circled about no longer considering space based images as ammunition. This would take the issue out of the ITAR bureaucrats hands.)
Private companies like Insight really could use hi-res for their very useful analysis too! Orbital Insight

Congress should zero out ITAR's travel and entertainment budget. That should get somebody's attention. After that, start cutting their budget towards zero.
That's supposed to be what Congress is for.

[THECOLLEGEFIX] Calling the University of Nebraska Lincoln a place that "values acceptance," the institution kicked off the fall semester with its newly installed chancellor essentially telling new students they should not say or do things that might be offensive or cause people to feel disrespected, calling the stance "nonnegotiable."
"We insist on a culture of respect, and we recognize that words and actions really matter," Chancellor Ronnie Green said during a speech at the new student convocation on Aug. 19.
While suggesting the university values free speech and freedom of expression, Green ‐ who took the helm of UNL this summer ‐ went on to declare: "We do not tolerate actions of hate and disrespect."
The policy, being called by campus leaders a set of "belief statements" on diversity and inclusion, is also spelled out on its website.
Green’s comments come as Christianity and conservatism -- even support of Donald Trump -- is accused of being intolerant, hateful and racist on campuses nationwide.
