[Christian Times] Election officials in Franklin County, Ohio are reportedly stumped over what one maintenance worker found in a dilapidated downtown Columbus warehouse earlier this week.
According to sources, Randall Prince, a Columbus-area electrical worker, was doing a routine check of his companies wiring and electrical systems when he stumbled across approximately one dozen black, sealed ballot boxes filled with thousands of Franklin County votes for Hillary Clinton and other Democrat candidates.
"No one really goes in this building. It’s mainly used for short-term storage by a commercial plumber," Prince said.
So when Prince, who is a Trump supporter, saw several black boxes in an otherwise empty room, he went to investigate. What he found could allegedly be evidence of a massive operation designed to deliver Clinton the crucial swing state.
Update at 8:45 a.m. ET: Snopes claims this is a false report from a site that mainly engages in conspiracy mongering. Take a look at their photos and judge for yourself, dear Reader.

Here is a list of hoax blogs, though I recognize some as humour that escaped (Duffel Blog, The Onion Scrappleface): list.
The thing is, "forgotten" ballot boxes have been regularly revealed after elections and added to the count to swing the results. I do not doubt this election will be consistent, and I'm sure they are being stashed in various places in anticipation. So I'm glad Besoeker is paying attention for us.
Separately, as the Snopes analysis claims, there is a Christian Times website. It doesn't look anything like the post. christiantimes.com

Dont even need that. Just alter the program which determines the votes to switch, for example, every other R vote to a D. Since is a secret ballot nobody can see how their vote was actually counted and you don't get any of those embarrassing 150% voter turnout.
Man Uses Raccoon To Start Breathalyzer Equipped Car; Raccoon Then Attacks Driver
[DETROIT.CBSLOCAL] A man who needed to blow into a Breathalyzer to start his car was too drunk to do so, according to a report. What he did next is almost unbelievable. According to what appeared to be a police report posted on Imgur, this guy somehow found a raccoon going through the garbage, captured it and then used the raccoon to blow into the Breathalyzer.
According to the report that was shared on Imgur, the raccoon became unconscious so the man left the raccoon in the car and drove off. A short time after, the raccoon woke up and started to attack the driver.
I’m not one to judge, but generally when you have a Breathalyzer on your steering wheel it’s there because you haven’t made the best decisions in the past. And this, I have to believe, would have been this man’s rock bottom. It would also have been the raccoon’s.
It’s a fun tale, but the San Diego Union-Tribune says it didn’t happen despite the Internet hype. "I called police records, and while they were highly entertained, they confirmed (the story) is absolutely a hoax," said 1st. Lt. Savannah Frank, a public affairs officer at Camp Pendleton, per the Union-Tribune.
Points to the reporter for checking original sources to see if it was true.

No 'He' isn't, its whats behind him. He's simply the symptom, not the underlying pathology.
Understand, that if civil war does break out, it won't simply be between Left and Right America, but also against the world that will desperately back the Left.

...the ruling class in Europe doesn't have an affinity with its own people, why would they have one with fly over country America? The Latin ruling caste have no problem dumping millions of their own 'deplorables' upon us regardless of the impact on the economy and social stability. The Chinese would be happy to keep the Americans busy degrading themselves. I understand the trade angle but they can calculate the tradeoffs for gains in the Pacific rim and elsewhere. They think long term.
[Mail] This is the one safe haven for albinos in constant danger from vicious human hunters who want to 'butcher' them and sell their body parts to witch doctors.
Persecution of albinos is rooted in the belief that the body parts can transmit magical powers, however, they are also ostracised by those who believe that they are cursed and bring bad luck.
In some places, they are killed at birth, ritually sacrificed, or raped because it is believed that having sex with an albino can cure AIDS.
[MCCLATCHYDC] The emails from Russia were pretty straightforward: The government in Kiev was to be referred to as fascist and compared to puppet dictatorships whenever possible. News reports were to mention as often as possible that the puppet master was the United States.
For good measure, the Russian advisers even insisted that media handlers in the so-called "People’s Republic of Donetsk" provide a daily count of how many stories featured the phrase "It’s worse in Ukraine."
The leaked emails, which were acquired and are being reported on by the German magazine Die Zeit and Germany’s public television broadcaster, ZDF, provide hard evidence of how closely involved Russia is in the separatist movement at the heart of Ukraine’s so-called civil war, which has taken almost 10,000 lives since 2014. That runs counter to the narrative promoted by Russian President Vladmir Putin and other Russian officials.

[Newsweek] Sweden’s decision to reintroduce permanent troops to the island province of Gotland is wise in light of recent Russian aggression.
Swedish soldiers exercising on Gotland received an order September 14 not to leave. The 150 troops will remain on the island until mid-2017, when a planned permanent unit should be fully established there.
Sweden, which is not a member of NATO, has maintained a neutral status since the 19th century. However, it plays a vital role--both direct and indirect--in guaranteeing the security of the Baltic states, which are NATO members.
Gotland, Sweden’s largest island, is strategically located halfway between Sweden and Latvia in the middle of the Baltic Sea. Control over Gotland would prove crucial in the event of any future conflict in the region.
Due to its central location, Russia almost certainly factors the island into its Baltic Sea contingency planning.

Yes it will, rule of thumb sez 450 to overrun quickly, disregarding loss in transports and aircraft. Just a another thing for the Russers to consider.
[AlAhram] Turkish police raided the country's biggest prison and courthouse on Friday after arrest warrants were issued for 162 personnel and prison guards as part of nationwide investigations over a failed coup in July, broadcaster CNN Turk reported.
About 100,000 people in the military, civil service, police and judiciary have been sacked or suspended, and some 32,000 people have been locked away Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! for their alleged role in the attempted coup.
On Friday, prosecutors issued arrest warrants for 87 courthouse personnel and police raided three Istanbul courthouses, including the Caglayan courthouse where some of The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's most important trials are held, CNN Turk said.
Arrest warrants were also issued for 75 more jail guards and personnel in three separate prisons across Istanbul including the one in Silivri, the country's largest.
Media reports said the warrants were for people that authorities say have links with U.S.-based holy manFethullah Gulen ... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world... and his followers, blamed by Ankara for orchestrating the abortive coup on July 15.
[AlAhram] Turkey's main opposition party leader on Friday accused the government of seeking to capitalise on the July 15 coup to stifle dissent, and vowed to oppose moves to extend a three-month state of emergency.
Kemal Kilicdaroglu, leader of the Republican People's Party (CHP), accused the government of using the July 15 attempted putsch to "stage another coup, a coup against democracy."
The government has imposed a three-month state of emergency after the botched coup, and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has suggested there might be a need to extend the measure even up to a year.
But Kilicdaroglu said: "We are in a process where the government is using the coup to expand its power and silence the opposition."
Up to 32,000 suspects have been remanded in custody, according to government figures. Arrests include top former generals accused of organising the coup but also people from every sector of life ranging from sweet pastry magnates to former footballers. Several prominent journalists and writers have also been placed under arrest, including the journalist Ahmet Altan and his brother Mehmet, an academic.
"Why are you putting handcuffs on journalists? Why do you detain intellectuals?" asked Kilicdaroglu.
Kilicdaroglu said his party would not support the state of emergency when it comes before the 550-seat parliament dominated by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).
The CHP has 134 seats. As a result, the measure is likely to pass with the support of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP).
"Today the ruling party can shut down any newspaper it wants, push any businessmen it wants to bankruptcy or seize their assets under emergency laws," he told reporters in Istanbul. "This is a serious threat to democracy. Our first priority will be to keep the state of emergency as short as possible."
His comments mark a crumbling of the solidarity with the government shown by the CHP and MHP in the aftermath of the coup, which extended to even attending a pro-Erdogan mass rally.
The pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) was never invited to the meetings.
Kilicdaroglu promised to stand by victims of the coup who ended up in court, including the over 100 journalists who according to activists are currently jailed.
"What will we do against the counter coup? We will fight," he said.

In case you were wondering, he's... wait for it... a Democrat!
Just yesterday we wrote about an FBI investigation into potential voter fraud in the critical swing state of Virginia after it was revealed that 19 dead people had recently been re-registered to vote (see "FBI Investigating More Dead People Voting In The Key Swing State Of Virginia"). While the Washington Post caught wind of the investigation, it was not known who was behind the operation...until now.
Meet, Andrew Spieles, a student at James Madison University, and apparently "Lead Organizer" for HarrisonburgVOTES. According to the Daily News-Record, Spieles confessed to re-registering 19 deceased Virginians to vote in the 2016 election cycle.
While this should come as a surprise to precisely 0 people, Spieles just happens to be Democrat who, accorded to a deleted FaceBook post, apparently recently ran for Caucus Chair of the Virginia Young Democrats.
It's too bad really, sounds like Spieles had all the right "special talents" required to be very successful politician...he just forgot the most important first rule: "Don't get caught." What's a good sentence for this sort of thing? I'm thinking one year in a minimum security prison, no chance of parole.
1) She's largely right; 2) this broad has zero political instincts. None whatsoever.
One wonders whose fault it is that millions of young people are stuck in dead end jobs, living in their parents basement, while both Obama and Hillary make TV appearances touting the strength of the economic recovery.
But the punchline was what Hillary, who has been scrambling to secure the much-needed Millennial vote in recent weeks, truly thought about about the millions of young people whose vote she is trying to win: a diatribe of mockery, in which she describes the concept of a political revolution as a "false promise" which has attracted all these disillusioned and disheartened young people "living in their parents' basement." Does Hillary have anything to offer them? No, but she desperately needs their vote, even if behind the scenes at generously paid private functions, she mocks them in front of all those present.
We should all be really understanding of that and should try to do the best we can not to be, you know, a wet blanket on idealism. We want people to be idealistic. We want them to set big goals... But those of us who understand this, who've worked in it know that it's a false promise. But I don't think you tell idealistic people, particularly young people that they've bought into a false promise.
Especially when you are trying to secure their votes?
Then again, considering the eagerness with which Bernie Sanders has endorsed Wall Street's favorite candidate, it is quite clear that the real "false promise" here was Sanders' "revolution" all along. We wonder if in light of this hack, if Bernie Sanders would care to make some statement why he is endosing the candidate who behind closed doors, openly mocks everything that his supporters believe in. To quote Joe Pesci in Casino, this woman could fuck up a cup of coffee.
[DAWN] LAHORE: Four schoolchildren and two men suffered slight injuries when the gun of a private school’s security guard went off ostensibly during its cleaning in Factory Area.

I've long past stopped caring about Pakistan.
Let me know when there is regime change, or when we've routed them. Fuck them.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
