[Breitbart] A suspended Pennsylvania school teacher was shot dead while standing in her mother’s driveway on the evening of Mother’s Day, police said.
Rachael DelTondo, 32, came back from a trip to the ice cream shop Sunday evening on Mother’s Day when several bullets struck her outside her family’s home in Aliquippa, KDKA reported.
"I counted six shots that I heard," neighbor Fred Poor said of the shooting. Other neighbors said they heard as many as 12 gunshots.
A medical examiner confirmed that DelTondo died from several gunshot wounds to her torso. Police are still searching for the suspect and are actively investigating the incident as a homicide, WPXI reported.
Officials have not yet released a description of the suspect as of Tuesday but are retrieving information from a cellphone containing information of interest to authorities.
DelTondo had worked as an elementary school teacher at Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School for ten years until her October 2017 suspension.
School officials suspended her after receiving an anonymous tip about a past police report involving DelTondo and an underage boy who did not attend Pennsylvania Cyber, the school’s CEO Brian Hayden told Fox News. The report stated that no charges had been filed against DelTondo in the incident.

That Seattle City Council vote to tax the hell out of large corporations has consequences; this is one of them.
[Boston Herald] - Amazon unveiled a new office in Boston’s Fort Point for nearly 1,000 employees, the latest step in the tech giant’s ongoing expansion in the city.
"What we’re really looking at is where can we hire the people we want to hire?" said Mike Touloumtzis, the head of Amazon’s offices in Cambridge and Boston. "They’re here."
The new office takes up six floors at 27 Melcher St., more than 150,000 square feet. Each floor includes a transportation-related theme, and is centered on ways Amazon packages make their way to customers. Living room style chairs and tables are tucked into little nooks throughout the office.
Only about 350 employees work at the new office right now, but Touloumtzis said the remaining 550 will be moved from Seattle hired soon. The office will largely work on Amazon Web Service, a storage and cloud computing business, along with transportation and logistics technology. Amazon also has a big-honkin' warehouse in the West Roxbury / Dedham area, so this won't be their last move in this area. Bye-bye, Seattle!

I just checked the maps - it's in a very nice area 5 minutes from South Station. They'll have no problems finding willing employees for this place. I'm actually walking by the place tomorrow. Well, more like hobbling, but that's another story...

Might be wise to hire a few local girls to pretend to be "high end fembots not currently for sale" so the robo-bordello will have a happy customer or two.
[AAWSAT] Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir Head of the National Congress Party. He came to power in 1989 when he, as a brigadier in the Sudanese army, led a group of officers in a bloodless military coup that ousted the government of Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi and eventually appointed himself president-for-life. He has fallen out with his Islamic mentor, Hasan al-Turabi, tried to impose shariah on the Christian and animist south, resulting in its secessesion, and attempted to Arabize Darfur by unleashing the barbaric Janjaweed on it. Sudan's potential prosperity has been pissed away in warfare that has left as many as 400,000 people dead and 2.5 million displaced. Omar has been indicted for genocide by the International Criminal Court but nothing is expected to come of it. ordered on Monday a government reshuffle that saw the replacement of his oil, interior, agriculture, youth and sports and justice ministers.
He also announced a new foreign minister replacing Ibrahim Ghandour, the country’s SUNA new agency reported.
Bashir's ruling National Congress Party introduced a number of ministerial amendments in its share in the cabinet.
The party relieved 13 ministers of their duties, in what observers and opposition figures dismissed as a rotation of power between the ruling political class.
The reshuffle saw al-Dierdiry al-Dhikheri named as the new foreign minister, Ibrahim Hamid as interior minister and Azhari Abdallah as oil minister.
Dhikeri, former Sudanese ambassador to Uganda, had been a member of Khartoum's team that negotiated the separation of south from the north in 2011.

[RedState] Looks like Kim is getting cold feet about what he might have to give up.
Dan Spencer posted on North Korea threatening to cancel the summit with Trump. Now North Korea has canceled a high-level meeting that was scheduled for tomorrow with South Korea. Kim can't stay in power if there's peace.

Naw. Just Negotiating 101 - Let your opponent think it's a done deal, hopefully taking a victory lap - then throw out one last deal-breaker demand. Dunno if Kimmy the Pudge has been reading the SEIU handbook or "The Art of the Deal".

Gee, who didn't see this usual "sea of fire, running dog imperialist" drivel coming? The Chinese hand puppet went to see XI, got told to play nice to show how the CHiComs could help, then, Trump plays a little trade war, Kimmie goes to Xi-see again, and poof, the pitbull behavior is back. Translation, the door to NorKland goes through Beijing! Silly roundeyes in the MSM gobsmacked but lots of attention, Xi smiles, Trump get it.....decades old playbook
[KCNAWATCH.CO] Pyongyang, May 16 (KCNA) -- KCNA made public the following report on May 16:
The south Korean authorities, together with the U.S., has been staging the largest-ever "2018 Max Thunder" joint air drill throughout south Korea since May 11 in a bid to make a preemptive air strike at the DPRK and win the air.
Involved in the drill are over 100 fighters of various missions including B-52 strategic nuclear bombers and F-22 Raptor stealth fighters under the supervision of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces in south Korea and the south Korean air force. It is to last till May 25.
Public opinions at home and abroad comment that the maneuver is the largest-ever and a reflection of the invariable stand of the U.S. and south Korea to persist in the "maximum pressure and sanctions" against the DPRK.
The DPRK-targeted drill across south Korea is an undisguised challenge to the Panmunjom Declaration and a deliberate military provocation to the trend of the favorably developing situation on the Korean Peninsula.
The north and the south solemnly declared in the declaration that a new peace era was ushered in and reached an agreement on making joint efforts to defuse the acute military tensions on the peninsula and substantially ease the danger of war and the U.S. also fully supported it.
However, the hip bone's connected to the leg bone... even before the ink of the historic April 27 Declaration got dry, the south Korean authorities and the U.S. started such a drill against the DPRK, reacting to all the peace-loving efforts and good intentions which the DPRK has shown with rude and wicked provocation and arousing serious concern and disappointment among all the fellow countrymen and the international community wanting the declaration to be implemented.
If the U.S. and the south Korean authorities regard the phase of improving inter-Korean ties and the DPRK-U.S. dialogue provided by the proactive and broadminded efforts and measures of the DPRK as something allowed any time and any hour, then they are sadly mistaken.
The south Korean authorities, in particular, resorted to such improper acts quite contrary to the promise to make efforts for the peace, prosperity and reunification on the peninsula together with the north and are allowing even human scum to brazenly hurl mud at the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK and its system and play down the Panmunjom Declaration in front of the building of the "National Assembly".
There is a limit in showing goodwill and offering opportunity.
The historic Panmunjom Declaration cannot be implemented by the unilateral efforts of a single party but can result in a good fruition only when the two parties create favorable conditions and climate by pooling their efforts.
We cannot but take a step of suspending the north-south high-level talks scheduled on May 16 under the prevailing seriously awful situation that a mad-cap north-targeted war and confrontation racket are being kicked up in south Korea.
The south Korean authorities, lost to all senses, should be held wholly accountable for the scuttled north-south high-level talks and the difficulties and obstacles in the way of the north-south relations.
The U.S. will have to think twice about the fate of the DPRK-U.S. summit now on high agenda before a provocative military racket against the DPRK in league with the south Korean authorities.
We will closely watch the ensuing behavior of the U.S. and the south Korean authorities. -

Why are we still provoking them when they're trying to make peace? This is Darth Bolton trying to start a war, isn't it?

No, they're jerking our chain again. It's the old Roman adage. Si vis pacem, para bellum

Until Pudgy realizes he has already lost, he will not negotiate seriously. Whether he is capable of negotiating seriously at that point is a separate question, but until he is serious, anything we do or do not do will be seized as the excuse for what he was going -- or not going -- to do anyway. The abuser must be viciously unpredictable in order to groom the victim into learnt helplessness.
Pudgy does not yet want peace, but he definitely wants us to surrender: leave him his nukes and the ballistic missiles to which they will be attached, give him rice for his people, ignore his heroin trade and his shiploads of forged $100 bills.
June 12 Singapore summit between Trump and Kim is suddenly in jeopardy
North Korean government blames joint U.S.-South Korea military exercises
Pyongyang sees the drills as a rehearsal for a full-scale invasion
Kim also canceled meeting with South Korea's president on a few hours' notice
Same old annual bait-switch by the Norks. Perhaps... Maybe... Golly, they're being reasonable. Then time for regularly scheduled, previously announced, routine joint exercises rolls around and it's back to the old Juche-Songun Army First-Sea of Fire.
Since it's the smart thing to do, Trump should postpone the exercises as a gesture of good will. If the talks don't go well, hold the exercises and fly in 82nd Airborne to participate. If they're really typical Nork, invite Japanese participation.

If the Trump administration blinks now there will be more and more substantial demands before the summit.
American hostages are free, the sanctions are in place, why allow North Korea to unilaterally alter the preconditions for the summit?

I'd increase the activity. Got to remember what prompted this to begin with. Show them the response they'll get going back to the old game plan. Keep the new playbook, its shown to work.

My first impulse is to say "*bleep* 'em!, but since everyone is trying to make nice maybe a little consideration wouldn't hurt. Perhaps move the exercises over towards Japan. Or even better, invite the Norks to participate.
(no, not as targets, as partners. We're all gonna be friends, right?)

Kim is most likely dealing with a hard line military internal command structure loathing his recent concessions. He needs this concession to settle down the internal noise on his end.
[38 North] After initial reporting of plans to allow experts and media personnel to observe the closing of North Korea’s Punggye-ri Nuclear Test Site,[1] now scheduled for next week,[2] commercial satellite imagery from May 7 provided the first definitive evidence that dismantlement of the test site was already well underway.[3] Several key operational support buildings, located just outside the North, West and South Portals, have been razed since our last analysis. Some of the rails for the mining carts, which had led from the tunnels to their respective spoil piles, have apparently been removed. Additionally, some carts seem to have been tipped over and/or disassembled, and several small sheds/outbuildings around the site had been removed.
Other more substantial buildings around the facility remain intact, including the two largest buildings at the Command Center, and the Main Administrative Support Area. Moreover, no tunnel entrances appear to have yet been permanently closed. This may be because on May 12, the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) announced that the final dismantlement of the Punggye-ri nuclear test ground would be witnessed by foreign journalists and would involve the "collapsing all of its tunnels with explosions, blocking its entrances, and removing all observation facilities, research buildings and security posts."

Tribal power structure and kleptocratic attitude about everything and everyone outside the tribe. Importing these thieves is always a mistake, just ask the communities they occupy, not the politicians, the regular folks, not for attribution, and get what they really think. These are gypsies with more melanin...
[DAWN] GUJRAT: Police have booked the mother of Sana Cheema, the Italian national of Pak origin who was killed for honour allegedly by her father and brother, on charges of concealing the alleged murder of her daughter.
Saddar DSP Irfanul Haq Sulehria told Dawn that a case against Nargis Tahira had been registered under Section 201 of the Pakistain Penal Code in already registered case of murder against Sana’s father Ghulam Mustafa Cheema and brother Adnan Cheema under Section 302 as well as 311 of the PPC in Kunjah cop shoppe.
He claimed that Tahira was involved in the murder plot. "But when she learnt about her daughter’s murder by her husband and son, she quarrelled with her husband saying Sana should have been sent back to Italia to get rid of her."
The DSP said Tahira, currently on bail, was booked since she did not let the police know about the murder. He said the police had recovered the piece of cloth allegedly used to strangulate Sana Cheema.
Meanwhile, ...back at the dirigible, the pilot and the copilot had both hit the silk.
Jack! Cynthia exclaimed. Do you know how to drive one of these things?
Jack wiped some of the blood from his knuckles.
No, he said. Do you?... the police produced both the suspects in the Sana case in the court of area magistrate on Monday after completion of their two-day physical remand. The court sent them to the district jail on judicial remand.
An Italian police team which arrived here two days ago to probe the Sana’s murder, is yet to launch its work in collaboration with the Gujrat police.
Sana was killed on April 18 last and was buried in her native Kot Fatehdin village.
The Gujrat police took an action when the news of her murder was published by Italian media. Her grave was exhumed on April 25 for an appointment with Dr. Quincy and forensic analysis which confirmed the murder last week.

[DAWN] A judicial magistrate on Tuesday remanded a man in police custody a day after he was jugged Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! for allegedly sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in Soma Gondola village in the suburbs of Azad Jammu and Kashmire (AJK).
On Monday afternoon, the victim's parents brought her to the Nasirabad police post in Patikka, where she narrated her ordeal before sub-inspector Syed Wajahat Kazmi. Kazmi recorded it in shape of an application which was later converted into a First Information Report (FIR) in Kahori cop shoppe.
Kahori is 10 kilometres northeast of Muzaffarabad along the Neelum Valley Road and Nasirabad is further eight kilometres ahead.
The victim said that on Monday morning, her parents left the house to cut firewood in a nearby jungle and she was alone in her house when the accused entered, locked the door, and proceeded to assault her.
According to the victim, he then tried to flee the scene and she rushed after him. Her parents also arrived back at the same time and noticed the accused running away.
Kazmi said he sent the victim to Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al Nahayan Hospital Muzaffarabad for medical examination and himself left for Soma Gondola village to apprehend the accused.
Though the high-altitude Soma Gondola village is hardly 15km west of Nasirabad, it took him around one-and-a-half hour to reach there, due to absence of a road link beyond 10 kilometres.
The accused was hiding in a nullah when police caught him. Kazmi claims that he also confiscated the victim’s bloodstained torn clothes from the accused.
SI Kazmi said the accused was an illiterate person in his early twenties who had spent some time in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... doing odd jobs.
"Had we not taken him into custody he was planning to flee to Karachi the same evening," he said.
