So often the performance of Hallelujah is very polished. Mr. Cohen brings a grittiness to his composition that gives it a very different feel — very moving.
[MilTimes] It was 50 years ago today that a special operations group raided the Son Tay prison compound in North Vietnam in an attempt to rescue some 61 prisoners of war.
About 15 years had passed since the Vietnam War began. Along with the raid on the prison camp, located just outside of Hanoi, the U.S. concurrently sent three Navy carriers as a distraction and to help suppress potential enemy air support on Nov. 21, 1970. The support mission is heralded as the largest night carrier operation of the almost 20-year conflict.
It turned out the prisoners had been moved to other camps prior to the raid, but the mission, known as Operation Kingpin, has stood as a stellar example of planning and coordinated execution for similar covert attacks since.
Son Tay was "the best modern example of a successful spec op [which] should be considered textbook material for future missions," retired Navy SEAL Adm. William McRaven wrote in his 1995 book "Spec Ops: Case Studies in Special Operations Warfare: Theory and Practice."
Sixteen years after that book was first published, McRaven, as the three-star commander of Joint Special Operations Command, devised the daring Navy SEAL raid that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
A new documentary about the raid, "Kingpin: 27 minutes at Son Tay," is in post-production and features interviews with some of the special operators who were there.

When y'all find the right link let me know.
I've done some searches on the internet for information about the soldier who led the raid, Col. Arthur "Bull" Simons, and there's surprising little out there about him, besides the book _On Wings of Eagles_.
[KNEWZ] A PE teacher who got drunk at student prom and flashed her boobies breasts has been banned from classrooms for two years.
According to The Daily Mail, Norfolk, U.K. PE teacher Katherine Lake, 44, admitted she made an ass of herself behaved inappropriately at the Year 11 student prom at Reepham High School in Norfolk in June 2019.
Year 11 is traditionally the last year of secondary school for students in Britain.
A disciplinary panel heard Lake guzzled drank eight glasses of wine before attempting to sit on a students’ lap. They also heard she smoked a cigarette with another student.
Katherine Lake, 44, faced complaints over acting like a 'tard inappropriate behaviour with pupils at a Year 11 prom at Reepham High School in Norfolk in June 2019.
The PE teacher even flashed her udders breasts while posing with five students in a photo booth at the prom, the panel heard.
Lake admitted she utterly lacked any class to the bad behavior but said she couldn’t remember what happened that night because she had gotten slobbering drunk drank eight glasses of wine. The panel heard that she guzzled drank almost an entire bottle of wine at a teachers’ gathering before the prom, and four more glasses at the event itself. She felt better after she puked, of course.

Her pic doesn't indicate much in the boobie department with which to flash, so my morning's starting off rather dismally.

Adults need to behave like adults when they are around children - even when those children are 17 and look like adults. With rare, very specific exceptions (strip clubs, Carnival, Burning Man), older adults even need to behave like older adults when they are around young adults. This is part of the substrata of how you keep a healthy society functioning.

Considering the female PE teachers I knew going to school, this was something that was not wanted an may push many an impressionable boy to being gay.
[AnNahar] A Russian citizen who worked on naval ships was found guilty of high treason for passing on military secrets to the CIA, Russia's security services said Friday.
Yury Yeshchenko was sentenced earlier this week to 13 years in a penal colony for attempting to supply the United States with information about Russian weapons systems, the Federal Security Service ... the successor to the KGB... (FSB) said in a statement on its website.
He "decided for self-serving purposes to transfer information to the United States about the promising developments of the Russian military-industrial complex," the statement said.
According to the FSB, Yeshchenko worked for an organization in the closed Arctic town of Severomosk that supplied radio-electronic systems for ships in Russia's Northern Fleet.
The FSB said that between 2015 and 2017 Yeshchenko made copies of classified information of the fleet's weapons systems, before making contact with the CIA in early 2019.
In July of that year the FSB arrested Yeshchenko in Russia's southern region of Bryansk while he was trying to handover the documents, the security services said.
Yeshchenko, who was sentenced by the Bryansk regional court on Tuesday, pleaded guilty and "repented" in court, the FSB said.
Espionage cases have increased in Russia in recent years.
In June, a Russian court sentenced former US marine Paul Whelan to 16 years in a penal colony for espionage.

[WashingtonExaminer] North Korea ...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche... n leader Kim Pudge Jong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... 's half-nephew was reportedly taken into CIA custody after disappearing three years ago at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport.

A series of high-profile defaults involving state-owned enterprises in China led to a bond market selloff last week.
Defaults by government-supported firms in China were rare before recent times.
Those defaults are coming even as many asset managers, bullish on Chinese debt, have this year been pushing their calls on these investments, which offer a very attractive proposition for investors with their yields.
[OpIndia] A doctor in Germany, Dr. Andreas Noack, was arrested by the Police on Wednesday in what appears to be a gross violation of personal liberty. The reason for his arrest is not yet clear but he was arrested while live-streaming on YouTube from his own home. The Police barged into his home when he was live on his YouTube channel.
This is happened to doctor Andreas Noack in Germany. After the unconstitutional approval of the infection law, police broke into his house while he was having a live transmission on YouTube. Those who cried against "fascism" have created the most criminal dictatorship in history. pic.twitter.com/fLgl5JTF0i.

The manner of his arrest presents some extremely disturbing scenes. He appeared too shocked to respond while the Police continued to yell at him until he lied down in the ground. The arrest of Dr. Andreas Noack occurred after the passage of the ’Infection Protection Law’ which was protested heavily by vast sections of the German population. The arrested doctor was supposedly providing medical assistance to anti-lockdown protesters...

This is what Soros and his dictatorial politicians here in the USA are dreaming to do. Whitmer , Northam, Newsome, Cuomo, and others want this power. And the progressives want this to silence the opposition. “Never let a serious crisis go to waste” ... “Fundamentally transform the United States of America”
Beware. Be active. Be the resistance. Be ready. Be armed

To quote the doctor, from the video: Ich bin Dr. Noack.

Apparently the "Infection Protection Law" gives the executive legislative powers. The last time the German government passed something like that it was called the Enabling Act.
I've trashed my plans to visit Germany, at least until they've replaced their government.

I heard there are some cool Roman places in Croatia, and I thought I heard the Croatians were reasonable about travel thither.
[Jpost] The US Food and Drug Administration on Saturday issued emergency use authorization for Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc's COVID-19 antibody therapy, an experimental treatment given to US President Donald Trump that he said helped cure him of the disease.
The FDA said the monoclonal antibodies, casirivimab and imdevimab, should be administered together for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing and who are at high risk for progressing to severe COVID-19.
This includes those who are 65 years of age or older or who have certain chronic medical conditions.
The agency said the antibodies are not authorized for patients who are hospitalized due to COVID-19 or require oxygen therapy due to COVID-19. A benefit of casirivimab and imdevimab treatment has not been shown in patients hospitalized due to COVID-19.
Effective immediately. Note which circuits go to strict constructionalists, dear Reader, and join me in pondering the impact on the Trump campaign’s appeals.

Currently in play for the election and now under strict constructionists (with thanks to NN2N1 for organizing the information so it can be easily seen):
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.
