People should have the choice to not have offspring is all I'll say. It's hypocritical to overtly revere life while not being able to secure it for anyone with deterrent laws. Hell, if it were up to me, some people would have to get certification to be allowed to procreate.

[NYPOST] Tempest Storm, the fiery ...a single two-syllable word carrying connotations of both incoherence and viciousness. A fiery delivery implies an audience of rubes and yokels, preferably forming up into a mob... redhead known as a burlesque icon who starred in early Russ Meyer films, has died. She was 93.
Storm died in her Las Vegas apartment Tuesday, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported, and had been battling dementia in recent months. She also was struggling after undergoing hip surgery on April 8 and was under round-the-clock care until her death.
"Tempest was easily one of the best-known and highest-regarded burlesque [performers] of all time, and was an active part of the burlesque community right to the end," Burlesque Hall of Fame executive director Dustin Wax told the Review-Journal. "She will be missed terribly in the burlesque community and well beyond it."
She was the last of the great legends in the golden age of burlesque," added her longtime friend and business partner Harvey Robbins. "She was perhaps the biggest of all."

Had a very interesting experience. A woman friend began a relationship with a guy whose ex was a burlesque woman. He had possession of something of value to the burlesque woman and gave it to his new lady friend who dared the burlesque woman to come and get it from her of she wanted it back. It seemed only moments when the front door opens without a knock and in walks this stunningly hot burlesque woman who walks over to the living room coffee table picks up her item and then leaves. As soon as the woman saw her come through the door she was so intimidated she was literally started shaking in shock and sudden fear of this extremely confident, beautiful and clearly fearless creature. We all sat there stunned at what so unexpectedly just occured.

Telling someone the wrong birthday, or that you want to marry them is not exactly a crime in most countries. Story is lacking any detail and is just a mash-up of girls ages and fake birthdays. Almost feels like the Bee.
.@Viterbo_Univ was rocked by shocking racist hate crimes, sparking mass protest. Then last week the hate escalated to an arson attack near room of black race activist, Victoria C. Unanka. Following police investigation, the student was arrested. #HateHoaxhttps://t.co/t6tYMU8M95pic.twitter.com/0xI6rHB8tg

Their credibility is non-existent, so there's nothing they can do to damage it.

They so desperately want to believe this is a racist nation. The media and race hucksters really should be made to answer for the misinformation and the damage it is causing.
[Jpost] Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Thursday welcomed a reduction of Russian troops on Ukraine's border but said Kyiv would remain vigilant.
Russia earlier announced it was ordering troops back to base from the area near the border with Ukraine, apparently calling an end to a buildup of tens of thousands of soldiers that had alarmed the West.
"The reduction of troops on our border proportionally reduces tension," Zelenskiy wrote on Twitter. "Ukraine is always vigilant, yet welcomes any steps to decrease the military presence & deescalate the situation in Donbass."
Russia’s defense minister Sergei Shoigu orders troops back to their permanent bases following massive drills amid tensions with Ukraine, but says that they should leave their weapons behind in western Russia for another exercise later this year.
"I consider the goals of the snap check of readiness fulfilled," Shoigu says. "The troops have shown their capability to defend the country and I decided to complete the drills in the South and Western military districts."
Shoigu says the troops should return to their bases by May 1, but he ordered to keep the heavy weapons deployed to western Russia as part of the drills for another massive military exercise later this year.

Uhm...with AP and Berserker on hiatus I guess I'm responsible for asking, does the withdrawal range correspond to any known or presumed blast radius?

The Egyptians played this game prior to '73. Training rehearsals. Run up to the Suez Canal with personnel and equipment. Kept doing it time and time again. Then one day, they went across to the surprise of those on the other side.

If you wish to trap a rat, don't set the trap at first. Leave the cheese in the tray with the trap undone. Let him accustom himself to snatching the cheese without penalty, until he forgets the scent of your human pheromones.
Then one day you bait the trap, set it, and (SNAP)

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic left without a direct answer the question of the journalist of the TV channel "Face" from Sarajevo about whether an act of genocide was committed in the Ustash concentration camp Jasenovac during the Second World War.
“I think that Jasenovac was an extermination camp, a camp that existed for several years. It was a policy that was being prepared for several years, through the statements of their ministers (of the Independent Croatian State - IA REGNUM ) and all others who wanted to expel one third of the Serbs, kill one third, and convert one third to Catholicism, ”Nova S quotes an excerpt from Vucic's interview with Bosnian journalist Senad Hadjifeizovic , recorded April 19.
According to Vucic, Jasenovac is a part of history, but that does not mean that today “every Croat needs to say 'you did it', as it makes no sense.
After the presenter asked whether there was genocide in Jasenovac, Vucic replied that he, as the president of the state, had no right to say this, since it would mean “another hundred years of bad relations with the Croats”.
Recall that according to the archives of Yugoslavia, 700,000 people, mainly Serbs and Gypsies, were killed in the Jasenovac concentration camp on the territory of the Nazi Independent Croatian State.
Toldja Russia's defense minister on Thursday announced the withdrawal of most of the troops it has massed on its border with Ukraine in recent weeks, easing a potential crisis even as military threats against its former Soviet partner remain.
"I believe that the objectives of the surprise check have been fully achieved. The troops have demonstrated the ability to ensure reliable defense of the country," Sergei Shoigu said during an unannounced trip to visit the front-line troops, according to a translation of his remarks. Russia has maintained that the deployment to the border of 120,000 troops – according to Ukraine's estimate – has always served as a military exercise and a response to ongoing, massive NATO exercises elsewhere in Europe.
Russia's commanders will begin planning the withdrawal by April 23, to be completed by May 1, Shoigu said. More at the link

[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Jordan has provided great assistance to the Jerusalemites by revealing old documents confirming rental contracts dating back to 1956, which could help prevent the deportation of residents of the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.
Jordan’s official al-Mamlaka channel reported that Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi conveyed on Wednesday a message from King Abdullah II to Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase.... , stressing the country’s firm support to the Paleostinians and their rights, adding that Jerusalem "is a red line" for the monarch.
East Jerusalem was subject to Jordanian illusory sovereignty like all other West Bank cities, before Israel occupied it in 1967, in a move not recognized by the international community. At that time, Jordan built housing units for Paleostinians who sought refuge in East Jerusalem after the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, and documented their residency with lease contracts.
The documents, published by the Jordanian foreign ministry, shows that 28 families in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood were displaced due to the 1948 war.
The Jordanian move comes after media reports said that an Israeli court granted Paleostinian families a deadline that expires on May 2 to evacuate their homes.
In comments during a visit to Ramallah on Wednesday, Safadi said: "We have provided all the documents available to us that can help Paleostinian citizens preserve their full rights."
He also noted that his country was coordinating with the international community to prevent the deportation of Paleostinians from the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, in cooperation with the Paleostinian Authority.

Just a minor glitch. One had a hole in a "augmenter fuel pump filter housing", so they can't run the augmenters (afterburners). They take off on afterburner.
