Most of the by-gone actresses plying scatter-brains were really very bright. Judy Holiday and Lucille Ball come to mind.
Didn't play a scatter-brain but Hedy Lamar was as bright as she was beautiful. She sketched the design for frequency hopping - think cell phone networks -on a napkin to help WWII radio controlled torpedos from being hacked. Based the design on a player piano roll. Dang I'm a sucker for smart women..hence Mrs Warthog who is both drop-dead gorgeous and incredibly smart.

A St. Paul man was sentenced yesterday to 41 months in prison for his role in the arsons at the Minneapolis Police Department's Third Precinct building.
According to court documents, on the night of May 28, 2020, Branden Michael Wolfe, 23, went to the Third Precinct where a crowd of hundreds had gathered. At one point, the crowd began shouting, "Burn it down, burn it down." Soon after, a fence that was designed to keep trespassers out of the Third Precinct was torn down. Wolfe pushed a barrel into a fire located in the entrance of the Third Precinct headquarters, which had been set by other unidentified co-conspirators, with the intent to accelerate the existing fire.
Wolfe was arrested on June 3, 2020, wearing the police vest, the duty belt and carrying the tactical baton.
"Mr. Wolfe furthered the destruction that took place in Minneapolis last summer by literally adding fuel to the fire. In addition to the arson, Mr. Wolfe stole body armor, weapons, and ammunition belonging to the Minneapolis Police Department," said Acting U.S. Attorney Anders Folk. "This sentence underscores the seriousness of Mr. Wolfe's actions and holds him to account."
"ATF is committed to investigating the civil unrest arsons of 2020 that occurred throughout the Twin Cities," said Special Agent in Charge Terry Henderson, of the ATF St. Paul Field Division. "Arson, being inherently violent, is a serious crime that puts our community members and first responders at risk, and it cannot be tolerated."
On December 21, 2020, Wolfe pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit arson. As part of his sentencing, Wolfe was ordered to serve two years of supervised release and pay $12 million in restitution.
Co-conspirators Bryce Michael Williams, 27, and Davon De-Andre Turner, 25, have all pleaded guilty to one count each of conspiracy to commit arson for their roles in the arson at the Third Precinct building. They will be sentenced at a later date.
This case was the result of an investigation conducted jointly by the ATF, the FBI, the Minneapolis Police Department, and the Minnesota State Fire Marshal Division. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Harry M. Jacobs and David P. Steinkamp.

I am still confused as to why these...people are not being charged with armed insurrection. After all it was a deliberately targeted attack on a Government building. The Law is quite clear on it being ANY government facility. Also it doesn't matter if it is Local, State or Federal. Of course if those charges are allied the you would have to start prosecuting all those whom provided "aid and comfort". Oops that gut the government.
Breaking: #Antifa member Daniel Baker is found guilty in federal court in Tallahassee for organizing an attempted armed attack on Trump supporters. Baker received weapons training in Syria & was a leader at CHAZ. Antifa groups are furious at conviction. https://t.co/3WOIOHytxzpic.twitter.com/2MPuIuRVYZ
Following links in the tweet eventually takes us to this local report from WTXL of the first day of jury deliberation:
Special Agent Marti says they received a 25,000-page subpoena from Facebook full of Baker's online presence. Those documents gave the FBI a closer look into what they say were his radical ideologies, including a previous stint fighting ISIS in Syria, anti-law enforcement beliefs, and a passion for guns.
Baker served in the Army for less than a year in 2007 and traveled to Syria a decade later to join the People’s Protection Units, also known as the YPG, in the fight against ISIS. He spent years homeless and unemployed in Tallahassee, had ties to the Antifa ...the armed wing of the Democratic Party... movement and spent last summer taking part in Black Lives Matter protests around the country.

The whole situation is confusing.
Here we have Butt-Book pro-actively assisting the FBI to take down a Liberal Domestic Terrorist type.
We have the FBI, local police and a Federal judge actually doing their jobs.
Then I read quotes like:
“The FBI is laser focused on identifying, investigating, and disrupting individuals who are intent on inciting violence or engaging in criminal activity,” said Rachel L. Rojas, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Jacksonville Division.
“We will not tolerate those who seek to wreak havoc in our communities.
"We are fully coordinating with law enforcement partners to ensure the safety and well-being of all citizens"
"... the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Leon County Sheriff’s Office and Tallahassee Police Department have been especially vital in this effort."
It is the absolute opposite of the Seattle and Portland scenario we read about daily.
Question:
How do we clone Special Agent Rachel L. Rojas, and some local Southern Law Enforcement Officers? Then send their clones to the West coast for a few weeks?

I suspect the feebs on the west coast are not much different from Agent Rojas. They just know the lay of the land in their locale and operate accordingly.

Antifa pukes should have paid attention in History class. What did Hitler do with the Brownshirts after he gained power?
[Rudaw] The head of Iraq’s Security Media Cell on Thursday said the rule of law should prevail following what he describes as an attack on police by members of the Turkmen Front
...the Iraqi Turkmen Front is the political wing of Iraq’s Turkmen independence movement, formally founded as a confederation of Iraq’s Turkmen political parties in 1995, and functionally a Turkish sock puppet. They claim northern Iraq, particularly Kirkuk province, as their native land of Turkmeneli, an effort frustrated by the refusal of both the Kurdistan government and the Iraqi government to allow them to form local militias. They have three seats in Iraq’s parliament, which no doubt makes them feel better but isn’t enough to get their concerns a hearing...
in Kirkuk the night before.
Videos circulating on social media appear to show several people, who were later declared to be members of the Turkmen Front, fighting with police at a checkpoint in Kirkuk governorate on Wednesday night. Saad Maan, the Head of Iraq’s Security Media Cell, on Thursday said orders were issued to arrest the perpetrators.
"The orders were issued to implement the law and arrest the people who assaulted the emergency patrol and refer them to the judiciary in order to receive a fair penalty," Iraq’s Security Media Cell said on their Telegram channel on Thursday.
The arrest warrant was issued "based on what circulated on social media from a video clip showing the attack of a member of the Turkmen Front in Kirkuk against a rescue patrol carrying out its duties and tasks in the governorate," the statement added.
General security is deteriorating in Kirkuk. Previously under Kurdish control, the province and its oilfields fell back under federal government control after the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) failed independence referendum in 2017.
[SHAFAQ] The Court of al-Diwaniyah sentenced a member of the provincial council to three years in prison over charges of assaulting demonstrators.
A source told Shafaq News Agency that Hasan al-Budairi, leader of Badr Organization and member of al-Diwaniyah provincial council, was found guilty in four cases.
The source said that he will serve three years in prison, nine months for each case.
The court of al-Shamiyah issued an arrest warrant against al-Budairi in October 2019 after he and his bodyguards assaulted demonstrators in the governorate.

[SHAFAQ] Iraq’s Counter-Terrorism Service has arrested on Thursday an ISIS prominent leader in southern Baghdad.
The spokesperson for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Maj. Gen. Yahya Rasool, announced in a statement that "Counter-Terrorism forces carried out operations in al-Radwaniyah, al-Yusufiya and al-Dora, south of Baghdad, and arrested the terrorist Abu Hanan, who works as the Emir of Hamza Sector / South Sector."
The operation led to destroying ISIS hideout and seizing ammunition and weapons in al-Yusufiya.
The Counter-terrorism forces also struck the central hideout of the "Southern province" in the al-Zaidan district of al-Radwaniyah, which killed three terrorists, Abu Osama, Abu Rabie, and Abu Sarah.
According to the statement, those ISIS members provided support to the suicide faceless myrmidons who blew themselves up on innocent citizens in Tayaran Square.
[IsraelTimes] Israeli opens fire after car set ablaze during late-night violence; Israelis pepper spray festive Ramadan meal gathering as tensions flare over upcoming evictions.
Paleostinians and Israelis hurled rocks and chairs at each other in the tense East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah on Thursday before Israeli police moved in to separate them, arresting at least 15 people, all of them Paleostinians. In one incident, a Jewish Israeli man had gun sex after a vehicle was set on fire.
Tensions have flared in Sheikh Jarrah over the last week where dozens of Paleostinians are at risk of being evicted following a long legal battle with right-wing Jewish Israelis trying to acquire property in the neighborhood, which is just north of Jerusalem’s Old City.

Balloon-borne incendiary devices launched from the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip sparked six fires in southern Israel today, according to the fire service.

[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces drops leaflets in the Syrian Golan Heights, accusing the Syrian military of working on behalf of the Hezbollah terror group, hours after Israeli helicopters reportedly bombed targets in the area controlled by the Iran-backed militia.
"Stop cooperating with the Syrian and Lebanese personnel of Hezbollah. Otherwise you will have no peace of mind," the IDF warns. "Yo! That was us. Want more? Keep doing what you've been doing"
The leaflets, marked with the symbol of the IDF’s Golan Division, explicitly name Syrian Brig. Gen. Hussein Hamoush of the Syrian First Division’s 90th Brigade as working on behalf of Hezbollah and the head of the terror group’s operations on the Golan, al-Hajj Hashim.
"We note in particular the Brig. Gen. Hussein Hamoush, commander of Brigade 90. And he is among those who have sold their consciences and their homeland at the cheapest of prices in return for aid for Hezbollah to camouflage their image among their masters, ignoring the general interest and your safety," the leaflet reads.

High five and a toast to whoever wrote that warning.
[NPASYRIA] On Thursday, the pro-government Russian-backed Fifth Corps deployed heavy and medium weapons in separate areas of the Syrian Desert, west of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria.
Ghaith al-Ali (a pseudonym), a field commander in the Fifth Corps, told North Press that the weapons and their ammunition, including machine guns, mortar launchers and Grad rockets ...Soviet-developed 122-mm rockets, usually launched from trucks. Newer versions are reported to have a range of up to 30 km.... , in addition to their ammunition were brought to the desert of Ma’dan and al-Tabbani in the western countryside of Deir ez-Zor.
According to what al-Ali claimed, "The aim of the reinforcements is to repel the attacks of ISIS cells targeting points and checkpoints of the corps from time to time in the region."
The desert in the western countryside of Deir ez-Zor is witnessing continuous activity by ISIS cells, and the repeated targeting of the Corps members in particular and government forces and their affiliated groups in general has increased in the region.
He stated that they were only asked to raise their readiness at the present time and repel ISIS attacks and target areas where it is believed to be in the depths of the Deir ez-Zor desert.
During April, the groups supported by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards carried out a combing operation in the vicinity of their points in al-Adbiyya Desert in the western countryside of Deir ez-Zor, in order to increase protection for their points in the town and its surroundings.
