[FoxNews] Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Monday asked DHS staff to volunteer to help deal with what he conceded was an "overwhelming" number of migrants at the border, as the administration scrambles to deal with the escalating crisis.
"Today, I activated the Volunteer Force to support Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as they face a surge in migration along the Southwest Border," Mayorkas said in an email to staff, seen by Fox News.
Volunteers will be used in a non-law enforcement capacity, with duties including managing property, preparing meals, doing supply runs, prescription medicine runs, housekeeping, and assisting in control rooms.
Mayorkas noted that the force had been used in 2019 during the border crisis in the spring and summer.
"In 2019, over 900 volunteers deployed to support their CBP colleagues during a similar migration surge," Mayorkas said. "Please consider joining the Volunteer Force to again provide needed humanitarian support along the Southwest Border and relief for our CBP colleagues."

Set up remote operated turrets along the border, set it up so volunteers can remotely man the turrets and repel invaders, problem solved. Every turret should have dual M2HB's, an M134, and a Mk19. I doubt attempts to cross the border would last more than 1 week.

So basically to avoid Rioting, Looting, Arson's, state/nation wide assaults and shootings by BLOM on LEO's. Which would be pretty much lead by a politically steered, supported and funded collection of LYNCH MOB's.
They are willing to toss out the impartial due process of Law.

Theory was they purposely overcharged to appeal to the then emotion, and for the eventual acquittal to inspire another wave of unrest and 'dialogue'.
...In other words,like a drowned man, Floyd’s lungs were filled with fluid. And that was the obvious and inescapable reason why Floyd kept shouting over and over again that he couldn’t breathe even when he was upright and mobile.
The memorandum ends with Dr. Baker’s devastating conclusion that “if Floyd had been found dead in his home (or anywhere else) and there were no other contributing factors he [Dr. Baker] would conclude that it was an overdose death.”
This is a complete farce. Outrageous. Keith Ellison and the two prosecutors who suppressed this transcript for three months have blood on their hands.
[KhaamaPress] During his speech at the 7th anniversary of the death of Marshal Mohammad Qasim Fahim, Amrullah Saleh, the first vice president said he will never sign a document prepared under by Pakistain’s Haqqania Madrasas.

It’s international women’s day or something, so Afghan officialdom joins in.
[Tolonews] Authorities from the Defense Ministry at an event in Kabul on Monday highlighted the key role of Afghan women in defending the country and said 7,500 women are serving in the ranks of the army and police.
Of 7,500 women, 7,000 are serving in the ranks of the special forces, army, police and air forces.
"They have a role in the commando forces, the air force, engineering, health, leadership and at different levels," Deputy Defense Minister Shah Mahmoud Miakhil said.
At least 4,500 women are serving in the police ranks and play a key role in rule of law, the interior affairs minister, Massoud Andarabi, said.
"They are serving in the area of rule of law, counter-narcotics and in other tasks under the Ministry of Interior Affairs," Andarabi said.

[Garowe] Somalia-based al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab ...... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... faceless myrmidons have threatened to continue targeting prisons around Somalia, a move which is geared towards freeing hundreds of its fighters, who are serving jail terms across the country, having been convicted by authorities.
Last week, the faceless myrmidons raided a Bosaso prison in Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... where they managed to free hundreds of prisoners according to information obtained from their friendly media outlets. But Puntland security forces managed to seize a number of prisoners who had been freed according to security forces.
And on Sunday, the group leaked a purported pre-recorded audio of its former deputy leader Mahad Karate who is also the finance controller, where he threatened further attacks targeting prisons across Somalia.
The move, he notes, would help "free many inmates, some who are facing unsubstantiated charges". It's not clear where he recorded the audio from but the group had on Friday taken responsibility for the Bosaso prison attack, claiming that over 400 people were freed.
While Karate has been embroiled in power tussles with his boss Ahmed Omar alias Abu Ubaydah, he remains an influential figure within the terror group, given that he still controls the powerful finance docket, which literally runs al-Shabaab activities.
At the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... Security Council meeting recently, the US and Somalia had listed the three operatives, who they wanted the United Nations to slap sanctions with, after establishing that they are linked to the terror group, which controls large swathes of rural central and southern Somalia.
The three were Abukar Ali Aden who is the deputy leader; Moallim Ayman, the commander of Jaish Ayman; and Mahad Karate, ex-deputy leader and a powerful figure. The UN Security Council has since sanctioned the three, including Mahad Karate, a move that was welcomed by the US.
Ambassador Erica Barks-Ruggles, who represents the State Department, hailed the United Nations Security Council for taking such a measure, arguing that the move was an important milestone towards achieving the much-needed stability in Somalia.
"The United States applauds the UNSC for sanctioning al-Shabaab leaders Abukar Ali Adan, Maalim Ayman, and Mahad Karate, individuals responsible for numerous acts of terrorism. This is an important step towards stability, prosperity, and peace for Somalia," she noted.
In a statement before the United Nations Security Council [UNSC] recently, the UN special envoy to Somalia James Swan said the group increased attacks from August 2020 to the beginning of 2021, targeting various strategic points including military bases and various hospitality industries.
"Al-Shabaab continues to pose the primary threat to the security of the country. al-Shabaab has increased its operational tempo since August 2020, and the beginning of 2021 has seen a new peak in the number of attacks, including more Person-Borne and Vehicle-Borne IEDs, targeting government officials and key figures in Somali society," Swan said in a statement.
But the envoy noted security operations have continued to bore fruits especially in Lower Shabelle, where the group has been enjoying support for a couple of years. The military has managed to liberate several strategic towns across the region, with the US precision strikes also eliminating murderous Moslems in Middle Jubba.
"Important military gains were made by Somali Security Forces backed by AMISOM in the Lower Shabelle region in early 2019 and again in early 2020, and these are now being consolidated to enable further progress against Al-Shabaab in other areas," Swan noted. "UNSOS has remained steadfast in delivery of support to AMISOM and eligible Somali forces throughout this period, despite the complications of the COVID pandemic."
[CNBC] International benchmark Brent crude futures jumped above $70 for the first time in more than a year on Monday, before giving back those gains and settling the session in the red.
The surge in prices came after Saudi Arabia said its oil facilities were targeted by missiles and drones on Sunday. A Houthi military spokesman claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Brent traded as high at $71.38 per barrel, the highest level since Jan. 2020, while U.S. crude futures rose to $67.98 per barrel, a level not seen since Oct. 2018. However, oil ultimately retreated from those levels and finished the session lower. Brent shed $1.12, or 1.61%, to settle at $68.24 per barrel, while WTI settled $1.04, or 1.57%, lower at $65.05 per barrel.
Saudi Arabia’s ministry of energy said a petroleum tank farm at one of the world’s largest oil shipping ports was attacked by a drone and a ballistic missile targeted Saudi Aramco facilities, according to state news agency SPA.
The Houthis have reportedly stepped up attacks on Saudi Arabia in recent weeks.
The Biden administration last month said it would remove the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen from the Foreign Terrorist Organization and Specially Designated Global Terrorist lists, according to NBC News.

[IsraelTimes] Teenager says she lied about being in class when Samuel Paty showed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, and her father amplified the matter online, seemingly motivating Paty’s killer.
A schoolgirl who sparked a deadly online hate campaign against a French teacher after he showed cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed to students
...she’d be the 13 year old daughter of Mr Brahim Chnina, who happily spread her lies far and wide...
has admitted to lying and spreading false claims about him, her lawyer said on Monday.
The girl had claimed the teacher, Samuel Paty, who was beheaded by an Islamic bad boy in the street in October last year,
... Abdullakh Anzorov, the 18 year old petty criminal whose refugee status was renewed by France last year for another decade instead of being revoked for cause. He sent video of the beheading to a Russian-speaking jihadi in Idlib, possibly to someone connected to his half sister, who made her way in 2014 to ISIS in Syria, though nowadays Idlib hosts other groups. Thank goodness the police killed him immediately after he uploaded photos of the murder to the internet...
had asked Moslems to leave the class when he showed the cartoons.
The girl’s father later lodged a legal complaint and amplified the allegations online, leading an 18-year-old Chechen refugee to track down Paty in the town of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, northwest of Gay Paree.
"She lied because she felt trapped in a spiral because her classmates had asked her to be a spokesperson," her lawyer Mbeko Tabula told AFP on Monday, confirming a report from the Gay Pareeien newspaper.
Paty showed the cartoons, which were first published in the Charlie Hebdo ...A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe... magazine and are deemed offensive by many Moslems, during a civics class in which students debated free speech and blasphemy ...the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence to a deity, or sacred objects, or toward something considered sacred or inviolable. Some religions consider it to be a crime. In Pakistain you can commit blasphemy by looking cross-eyed at a Koran... The schoolgirl, who had already been threatened with expulsion because of disciplinary problems, was not in the class.
She has since been charged with slander,
Good. What is the punishment in France for a juvenile deliberately slandering an adult with the result that the target is viciously murdered?
while her father and another man, an Islamist preacher and campaigner, have been charged with "complicity in murder" over the killing.
Paty’s murderer was rubbed out by police shortly after the attack.
The Gay Pareeien newspaper reported Monday that his last contact was with someone in Syria who is a member of a jihadist group.
A draft new security law being discussed in the French parliament would make it a jailable offense to publish information online about a public servant knowing that doing so could cause them harm.

She should be tried as an accomplice to murder.
[LongWarJournal] During a recent interview on Fox News, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz conspicuously revealed some of Hezbollah military sites inside Lebanon as a message to the militant group.
Israeli officials revealing declassified material about Hezbollah to the public isn’t unprecedented, however, the manner in which it was revealed last week was somewhat peculiar.

Fascinating, 3dc. And not, as far as I’m aware (which is, admittedly, limited) reported elsewhere. I recall Israel showing maps around the UN to anyone who’d look, some years ago, trying to get them to take the situation even a little seriously.
[IsraelTimes] The Interior Ministry announces that the Taba border crossing from Egypt to Israel will be opened Thursday for five hours to allow Israelis back into the country.
The border will be open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will only allow Israelis who have a clear coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... test taken within 72 hours to enter, the ministry says.
Israel’s land and air gateways had been largely closed since January 25, leaving thousands unable to return.

Rather than setting up shop in Avignon, where he belongs, the first Jesuit Pope chose to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse instead of the papal apartments. He is big on climate change, against consumerism, and in favor of throwing a blanket over homosexual activity within the clergy. He's not real sure about the Resurrection, about Christ's divinity, and a few other things that would have gotten him burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, but he's hot for a certain South American Earth Mother Goddess... has promised that his next foreign trip will be to crisis-hit Leb ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... , shortly after he wrapped up a historic visit to Iraq.
"Lebanon is a message... Lebanon is suffering," the pontiff added in an in-flight presser, vowing to visit the country as soon as possible.
"Lebanon has some weakness resulting from diversity... but it has the strength of the people... who are as strong as the cedars," the pope went on to say.
He added that Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi had asked him to add a Beirut leg onto his Iraq trip but that he had declined, thinking it would be like tossing the country "crumbs," given all Lebanon's current problems.
"But I wrote him a letter and promised I'd go to Lebanon. Today Lebanon is in a crisis, an existential crisis, and my next trip will be to Lebanon," the pope went on to say.
[IsraelTimes] UN nuclear watchdog tells member states Islamic Theocratic Republic has started using a third cluster of advanced IR-2m centrifuges at underground Natanz plant.
The ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency reportedly told its member states Monday that Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... has started enriching uranium with a third cascade, or cluster, of advanced IR-2m centrifuges at its underground plant at Natanz, in a further breach of the 2015 nuclear deal.
"On 7 March 2021, the Agency verified... that: Iran had begun feeding natural UF6 into the third cascade of 174 IR-2m centrifuges," the Rooters news agency quoted the UN atomic watchdog as saying in a new report.
UF6 is uranium hexafluoride, a compound that can be fed into centrifuges to produce nuclear fuel.
"The fourth cascade of 174 IR-2m centrifuges was installed but had yet to be fed with natural UF6; installation of a fifth cascade of IR-2m centrifuges was ongoing; and installation of a sixth cascade of IR-2m centrifuges had yet to begin," the IAEA report said, according to Rooters.
Since the US left the nuclear deal in 2018 under Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... , Iran has walked away from the pact’s limitations on its stockpile of uranium and has begun enriching up 20 percent, a technical step away from weapons-grade levels.
It is also spinning advanced centrifuges barred by the deal, which saw Iran limit its program in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.
Iran’s conservative-dominated parliament last month ordered the government to start limiting some inspections by the IAEA, after which the head of the agency, Rafael Grossi, hammered out a temporary technical deal with Tehran.
They confirmed that Iran will continue to allow access to UN inspectors to its nuclear sites — but will for three months bar inspections of other, non-nuclear sites.
According to a report last month, IAEA inspectors last summer found uranium particles at two Iranian nuclear sites that Iran tried to block access to.
Iranian authorities had stonewalled the inspectors from reaching the sites for seven months before the inspection, and Iranian officials have failed to explain the presence of the uranium, Rooters reported, citing diplomats familiar with the UN agency’s work.
