[NY Post] FORT PIERCE, Fla. ‐ Authorities say a Florida woman is blaming a windy day for the cocaine that police found in her purse.
WPLG reported Kennecia Posey was one of two passengers in a car stopped by Fort Pierce police in late March. Police say an officer smelled marijuana and that, after searching the car, cocaine and marijuana in separate bags were found inside a purse Posey had on her lap.
Authorities say they questioned Posey about the drugs. According to the police report, Posey responded: "It’s a windy day. It must have flown through the window and into my purse."
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Iran depends on three militias to expand and "export the revolution." The first and most important militia and probably the most successful one is Hezbollah in Leb. The second one is the Islamized Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbung millipede, militia in Gazoo while the third, and which is so far considered the weakest, is the Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... militia in Yemen.
[Breitbart Londonistan] The rise in the number of children needing state welfare in Germany is being primarily driven by migrants arriving from the Middle East and from poorer European Union nations.
While one in six recipients of the Hartz IV benefits under three are foreign-born, the number of native German children living on state assistance is decreasing, reports Der Spiegel.
According to the Federal Employment Agency (BA), 2.052 million children and adolescents under the age of 18 live in families dependent on Hartz IV because of unemployment or low wages. This is 100,634 (5.2 per cent) more than in June 2016 and eight per cent more than five years ago.
Officials said that the massive influx of asylum seekers in the country was a "major factor" in the rise, as unemployed migrants wait for their asylum applications to be processed or to complete integration and language courses, with job centres usually paying for their upkeep.
[Breitbart] On this weekend’s broadcast of on Fox News Channel’s "Sunday Morning Futures," House Homeland Security Committee chairman Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) said after the apparent chemical weapons attack in Syria, former Secretary of State John Kerry was not successful in removing all the chemical weapons from Syria.
McCaul said, "There has to be a consequence to this and I think the president is absolutely right is that President Obama drew the red line, the red line was crossed he did nothing and then he negotiated through John Kerry the settlement, this weapons convention. I remember John Kerry saying we took all their chemical weapons away. Obviously not. They still have this and I also blame Russia and Iran I think they’re complicit with this as well."

Obama screwed up many things here and in the M.E.: the Arab Spring (Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq), Iraq withdrawal, purging our government of anything claimed by CAIR to be anti-Muslim, anti-Israel stance, and the Iran nuke sell-out to name a few.

I don't take ANYTHING out of the Middle East (or US gov't) at face value. I don't trust that there actually was a chemical weapons attack. I don't trust accusations as to who initiated the attack (these people are quite capable of attacking their own people to generate sympathy.) I can't even say with confidence that the US or Israel didn't do it. And I don't care enough about the victims or 'victims') to want to do anything about it.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] With the Iranian people taking part in widespread demonstrations throughout the country, many of their grievances have been focused on the immense cost of foreign wars to the Iranian economy. Much of the cost stems from a vast amount of funds being channelled into the coffers of both Hezbollah and Bashir al-Assad’s war machine.
This cash is blown on funding the formers proxy war effort in Syria, Iraq and Yemen, as well as paying for its war against Israel, and the upkeep of its infrastructure within Leb. While for the latter, it comes in the form of propping up a vile dictator’s beleaguered regime in a bid to save him from annihilation, while back home the Iranian people pay the price through deprivation.
According to Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani, his latest budget was aimed at working toward full employment, eliminating poverty, and creating social justice. But as far as any of those goals are concerned, the methods put in place to attain them, which comprise of slashing subsidies on basic goods; including food, gas and electricity, which will mean the price of fuel rising by 50 percent, and with the price of poultry and eggs having already risen by 40 percent, adding this to the cutting of cash handouts to low income families, it seems to be a very odd way to attain such policies.

[USAToday] Law enforcement keeps failing, and people keep dying. Where are the consequences? Where is the accountability?
Despite receiving a warning directly from the Russian government, the FBI failed to stop the Tsarnaev brothers from staging the Boston Marathon bombing. Despite having plenty of resources, the Charlottesville police failed to stop a car attack that left a woman dead. The FBI interviewed Omar Mateen, the Orlando Pulse nightclub shooter, and considered criminally investigating him. They didn’t ‐ possibly because his father was an FBI informant.
The FBI also missed numerous "red flags" before the San Bernardino shooting. And despite having lots of warning, the FBI, the Broward County schools and the Broward Sheriff’s Department under Sheriff Scott Israel all failed to stop Nikolas Cruz from shooting up a high school.
And yet these repeated failures ‐ among others ‐ keep getting swept under the rug as we look for "solutions" to the problem of violence. No doubt Israel and the others whose incompetence made it possible for Cruz to kill his classmates were relieved to see our national discourse veer into questions of whether Laura Ingraham should lose sponsors for mocking David Hogg’s college-admissions failures, instead of their own failures to do their jobs.

Columnist, Abu Uluque, not something from the USA Today stable of staff editorialists.
At the link Strategy Page has an editorial about Fighter Pilots giving up on the Air Force and leaving because its leadership cadre are perceived as total bureaucrats.

...Every single word was truthful, and the commentary exactly what I expect from StrategyPage. Direct, to the point, and honest.
And it tore my heart out.

"While the first wave of air force leaders (until the 1970s) were bomber pilots, and the next wave were fighter pilots by the 1990s the next wave consisted of technocrats and bureaucrats."
Anyone who has followed the Air Force Academy soap opera over the last quarter century knows that there was something radically wrong with the Air Force itself.

SPOD, they might as well be a Navy ship the way you describe it! HAHA

a Navy ship
Speaking of that, check the satellite views of the Mobile AL shipyard on the Mobile River between I10 and Government St. Pointy nose boats! Drove right past'em.

It is a pity that the USAF has a purpose other than providing careers for REMFs isn't it? Complicates things when you actually have to fly the planes, right? Much less paperwork if they just sit there and get polished when they start looking dirty.

...And like #2) Mike, this just makes me sad.
My family were US Navy vets and my Dad worked as a civilian at OCAMA, Tinker AFB, his last project was helping to get the AWAC program into production.
So, like looking at a crumbling mansion, sad...

At some point they are going to have to remove the redundancy between the branches. It made sense when money was super-available because of the cold war but now? Do we need air arms in the Army, Navy, Airforce and Marines?
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.
