[FOX] The White House on Thursday proposed removing certain penalties associated with trafficking of fentanyl-related substances (FRS), prompting criticism that it would weaken illicit drug enforcement.
President Biden and former President Trump temporarily placed FRS under schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. Thursday's proposal would make that change permanent while removing certain quantity-based mandatory minimums.
In a letter to Senate leaders reviewed by Fox News, the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) described the plan as the result of collaboration with the Justice Department (DOJ) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
"We are pleased to present to Congress a long-term, consensus approach that advances efforts to reduce the supply and availability of illicitly manufactured FRS, while protecting civil rights, and reducing barriers to scientific research for all schedule I substances," said ONDCP acting Director Regina LaBelle.
A family member who is a Metro-Atlanta SR. Firefighter has seen plenty of Fentanyl overdoses, where multiple shots of Narcam fail.
However, with that said.
If I read the purposed changes to the levels of criminality levels trafficking vs person possession charges correctly. It basically weeds out the street drug user with a few pills vs a dealer/ trafficker.
"Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, applauded the Biden administration in a statement Thursday. He said: "It is time for Congress to permanently ban fentanyl-related substances, and I’m pleased that the Biden administration has put forward a proposal that is consistent with bipartisan legislation I have introduced … Not only is a permanent solution critical in our battle against addiction in this country, but it is also vital in ensuring law enforcement can continue to protect our communities by bringing criminal actions against individuals who manufacture, distribute, or handle these deadly drugs."

One of my favorite duh moments, and apparently more people need these:
Was at a party, went out for a smoke, friendly guard dog was getting a bit too friendly - no not that, but big dude was leaning on my shoulders. Down, sit, stay, no, I proclaim....until I realized the dog doesn't speak English and I didn't speak his.
[LIBYAREVIEW] Libyan Minister of State for Communication and Political Affairs, Walid al-Lafi described the 2014 war against the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... and al-Qaeda as a civil war.
The minister was previously a director of al-Nabaa TV, which has for years supported al-Qaeda in both Derna & Benghazi.
During his conversation on the social media application, Club House, the minister said that he respects the "views" that say it was a war against terrorism. As well as adding that he fully believes that it was a civil war and that the claim of extremism of these groups "is not a definitive fact, but just a point of view."
However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... EU Ambassadors described it as a war against terrorism. "The Libyan National Army (LNA) liberates Benghazi’s Quwarsha from ISIS & Ansar al-Sharia ...a Salafist militia which claims it is not part of al-Qaeda, even though it works about the same and for the same ends. There are groups of the same name in Libyaand Yemen, with the Libyan versions currently most active. Tunisia's Shabaab al-Tawhid started out an Ansar al-Sharia and changed its name in early 2014. It still uses the old name now and then, probably because the stationery's not all used up and the web site hasn't expired yet... . Condolences to the families of LNA deaders," former UK Ambassador to Libya, Peter Millett tweeted in 2016.
A leaked investigation memorandum to the Libyan Public Prosecution revealed the involvement of al-Lafi in a number of cases including, corruption, financial extortion, support for terrorism, and arms smuggling during 2012/ 2019. According to the investigation memo, al-Lafi supported the IS-allied Benghazi Shura Council of Revolutionaries (BRSC) in eastern Libya.

It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms.

They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor.

[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi government announced its success in thwarting a possible fraud in the early parliamentary elections scheduled for October.
A statement issued on Wednesday by the Prime Minister’s Office said that the security services succeeded, under the direct supervision of the Iraqi judiciary, in implementing a proactive operation that thwarted an attempt to falsify the elections by putting pressure on a number of Electoral Commission employees, with the aim of shuffling the results and stirring chaos.
The statement said: "After careful technical investigations by the concerned bodies, and under the direct supervision of the judiciary, the security services were able to arrest a number of suspects in a group that tried to commit electoral fraud, by using their relations with employees of the Electoral Commission."
"This came with the aim of provoking information and creating political chaos in Iraq, via a network of electronic communication sites, including a site called ’Lady of Green’, where those in charge tried by various means to suggest that it was linked to the office of the Prime Minister, its employees, or the Prime Minister’s advisors," according to the statement.
The Prime Minister’s Office was referring to a new website that published news and scandals some political blocs and figures, including an attack on the visit of the leader of the State of Law Coalition, Nuri al-Maliki to the Kurdistan region last week.
The statement continued: "Some media outlets - particularly those affiliated with some political powers - echoed these false slanders in a manner that lacks professionalism and fairness. This is considered a blatant violation of law and professional principles. Justice found its way to prove the invalidity of these lies..."
Kadhimi’s office stressed that the government would continue to "implement its commitments to secure fair elections, provide all its requirements and maintain its neutrality in terms of competition in the electoral process."

[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] 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.... arrived in Cairo on Wednesday to take part in a joint Egyptian-Paleostinian-Jordanian summit, which aims to unify their positions on the Paleostinian issue ahead of this month’s annual meeting of the UN General Assembly.
The summit will be attended by Paleostinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi, and King Abdullah II of Jordan.
Accompanying Abbas on his visit to Cairo are Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Riyad al-Maliki, member of the Central Committee of Fatah movement Hussein al-Sheikh, the head of the Paleostinian General Intelligence Service, Major General Majid Faraj, and the president’s advisor for diplomatic affairs Majdi al-Khalidi.
Egyptian Youth Minister Ashraf Sobhi and a delegation from the Egyptian General Intelligence Service welcomed Abbas at Cairo International Airport.
Azzam al-Ahmad, member of the Paleostinian Fatah movement’s Central Committee, said the summit aims to coordinate the positions of the participating states on Paleostine.
"The summit will discuss the Paleostinian issue and the issue of moving forward the grinding of the peace processor with Israel," al-Ahmad said.
"It is necessary for the Quartet to carry out its duties before holding the session of the UN General Assembly, where President Abbas will chair the State of Paleostine delegation and will address a speech during the session," he added.
Update from An Nahar at 5 a.m. ET: They met, which was their only accomplishment.
Egypt's president held talks in Cairo on Thursday with the King of Jordan and the president of the Paleostinian Authority aimed at reviving the Middle East grinding of the peace processor and strengthening a ceasefire that halted the Israel-Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, war.
Egypt's Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, King Abdullah II of Jordan and the Paleostinian Authority's 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.... discussed the elusive two-state solution to the conflict with Israel, according to a statement from el-Sissi's office. The three leaders said the Paleostinians have a right to an independent state, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Israel staunchly opposes such a plan.
In Thursday's talks, the Egyptian and Jordanian leaders also renewed their support of Abbas warning against the "dangerous repercussions" of the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and the demolition of Paleostinian houses and the confiscation of land properties, read the statement. On his part, el-Sissi stressed that the establishment of a Paleostinian state requires the unification of all Paleostinian factions, added the statement.
The Islamic Death Eater group has controlled 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... since ousting Abbas' forces in 2007, a year after it defeated his Fatah party in Paleostinian parliamentary elections.
"We very much welcome the meeting of these three leaders," U.N. front man Stephane Dujarric said. "We hope it will lead to a positive outcome and a regain of traction of diplomacy in the Israeli‑Paleostinian conflict."
Relations remain tense, even though Israel's new coalition government, which includes an Arab party for the first time, has sought to keep things calm after the deadly war in May. Hamas responded to weeks of tensions in east Jerusalem by firing rockets, which triggered a withering Israeli assault on Gaza.
At least 260 Paleostinians were killed during the conflict, including 67 children and 39 women, according to the Gaza health ministry. Hamas has acknowledged the deaths of 80 Death Eaters. Twelve civilians, including two children, were killed in Israel, along with one soldier.
Egypt, which has played a key mediation role between Israel and Hamas over the years, mediated a truce. In recent weeks, stakeholders have stepped up their diplomatic efforts aimed at preventing another military outburst in the region. The office of Israeli Prime Minister Neftali Bennett has recently said that he will be visiting Egypt "soon" to hold talks with el-Sissi.
Last week after Bennett met with U.S. President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S., father of Hunter. He blames Trump for losing Afghanistan.... in Washington, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz met with Abbas in Ramallah. Those talks signaled a possible shift after the near-complete breakdown in communication between Abbas and Israeli leaders in recent years.
The meeting was followed by the Israeli announcement of a series of gestures aimed at strengthening the Paleostinian Authority, including plans to loan $150 million to the cash-strapped autonomy government in the occupied West Bank.

[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] The first Iranian fuel oil cargo secured through 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.

Trust them on that... 's gangHezbollah will be delivered via Syria by truck to avoid complications related to sanctions, two sources with knowledge of the mater said on Thursday.
The Iran-backed Hezbollah announced last month that a shipment of Iranian fuel oil was on its way to help ease crippling shortages in Lebanon.
Hezbollah's critics in Lebanon have warned of dire consequences from the purchase, saying it risked sanctions being imposed on a country whose economy has been in meltdown for nearly two years.
"Choosing to receive the vessel via Syria is not related to any fear of targeting by Israel or the US but is due to internal considerations related to not wanting to implicate any allies," one source told Rooters.
Lebanon's caretaker energy minister has said his government did not receive any requests for import permits for Iranian fuel.
The sources said the shipment would arrive at a Syrian port and then be trucked to Lebanon, with the first priority being to deliver fuel oil to hospitals for power generation.
A report in local newspaper al-Akhbar on Thursday said the vessel had entered Syrian waters but the tracking service TankerTrackers.com disputed the report.

Trust them on that... ’s Parliament Speaker, Nabih Knobby Berri ...Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, head of the Amal Shiite party aligned with Hezbollah, a not very subtle sock puppet of the Medes and Persians... , criticized President Michel Aoun ...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah... over the government deadlock and called for forming a new cabinet in which the president has no veto power.
Berri also lashed at Aoun’s son-in-law and the head of the Free Patriotic Movement Despite its name a Christian party allied with Hizbullah, neither free nor particularly patriotic... , MP Gebran Bassil ...arrogant, overbearing son-in-law of Michel Aoun, a Hezbollah suck-ass and wannabe Bashir al-Assad who plans on being president of what's left of Leb as soon as the old man's dead and the votes have been phonied up... , without naming him, denouncing his threats to withdraw from Parliament.
"For whose benefit is the threat of resignation from Parliament?" Berri asked.
He added: "We will not be false witnesses to the mass execution of the Lebanese people." The speaker was referring to earlier comments made by Bassil, who hinted that his bloc might withdraw from Parliament.
In a televised speech on the 43rd anniversary of the disappearance of the founder of Amal Movement, Imam Musa al-Sadr, Berri said: "Fear and anxiety this time over Lebanon are from the inside and not from the outside."
"We are facing an attempt to hijack Lebanon and bring it down from within," he warned.
He also called for speeding up the formation of the government, which should focus on addressing the fuel crisis, reviving the judiciary and security agencies to combat corruption, and holding the parliamentary elections on time.
Berri went on to say that a new government should be formed without a blocking third, referring to Aoun’s reported insistence on having a share in the cabinet that guarantees his allies’ right to veto ministerial decisions, despite the Presidential Palace’s denial.
The speaker also spoke of the Beirut port explosion, saying: "We were the first to extend a helping hand to the families of the deaders, and we affirmed that there is no immunity that covers any person involved" in the Aug. 2020 blast.
He added: "The judicial investigator is required to implement the laws, starting with the Constitution."

Trust them on that... is in free fall and must not become a "horror story", a US senator said during a visit to Beirut on Wednesday, voicing hope that a government would be formed this week to start addressing its destabilizing financial meltdown.
Another senator in the US congressional delegation said Iranian fuel being shipped to Lebanon by Hezbollah would come with strings attached, dismissing it as an attempted "photo-op by the Iranians".
"Lebanon is in free fall...We've seen this movie before and it's a horror story..., but the good news is it can, should, and hopefully will be avoided," Senator Richard Blumenthal told news hounds at the end of a two-day visit.
Lebanese politicians, who have failed to do anything to arrest the collapse, have been squabbling for more than a year over the make-up of a new cabinet to replace the one that quit in the aftermath of the Aug. 4, 2020 Beirut port explosion.
A new cabinet capable of implementing reforms is a necessary precursor to foreign aid. The United States is the biggest foreign aid donor to Lebanon.
The congressional delegation met Lebanese leaders including President Michel Aoun ...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah... , who expressed hope the government would be formed this week, the presidency said in a statement.
"We did hear good news today," Senator Chris Murphy (D., Qom) ...Junior senator for life from Connecticutt, foreign policy mastermind, a fast friend and a sympathetic ear to mullahs, ayatollahs, and similar riff-raff. The indigestable boilerplate on his website sez he has has dedicated his career to public service as an advocate for Connecticut families, which means approximately nothing. He's been a strong voice in the Senate fighting for job creation, affordable health care, education, sensible gun laws, and a forward-looking foreign policy. You can guess what that mess actually means, though the voters of Connecticutt seemingly can't... , chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee panel dealing with the Middle East, told news hounds, adding he expected a government would be formed by the time he returned home.
Aoun's adversaries accuse him and his faction, the Free Patriotic Movement Despite its name a Christian party allied with Hizbullah, neither free nor particularly patriotic... , of obstructing the government formation by demanding a third of the seats, or effective veto power.
Aoun denies this. Aoun told the senators "many obstacles had been overcome", the presidency said.
The United States has been in talks with Egypt and Jordan over a plan to ease Lebanon's power crisis. The Lebanese presidency has said it involves using Egyptian gas to generate power in Jordan that would be transmitted via Syria, which is under US sanctions including the so-called Caesar act.
"The complication as you know is the transport via Syria," said Senator Chris Van Hollen. "We are (urgently) looking for ways to address that despite the Caesar act."

Lebanon Must Not Become 'Horror Story'
Chris Van Hollen has, IMO, problem with time tenses.
#2
Someone should remind our B-League Senators that the Egyptian Pipeline to Syria has been bombed by Egyptian Islamists more than a dozen times in the last decade. In sum, it is practically worthless. If Lebanon weren't dominated politically by Hizbollah Lebanon and Israel would now be sharing the natural gas resource developed in the Med. Hell, Lebanon already IS a 'Horror Story.'
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] The Lebanese government has received no request for fuel to be imported from Iran, the caretaker energy minister said on Wednesday, appearing to confirm that the Hezbollah group has bypassed the state with a move to import Iranian fuel.
Hezbollah announced last month a shipment of Iranian fuel oil was on its way to help ease crippling shortages, and has subsequently announced two more shipments.
The group has been part of the ruling system for years in 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, a practice dating back to the heady human sacrifice days of Baal Moloch. In 2020 Hezbollahblew up a considerable portion of Beirut and many of its inhabitants when its ammonium nitrate faci8lity exploded. They blamed it on... somebody else. It wasn't them though. Trust them on that... , Rooters reported.
The fuel crisis, caused by a broader financial meltdown, has forced even essential services to shut down or scale back operations.
Hezbollah's opponents say the decision has further undermined the authority of the state and exposed Lebanon to the risk of US sanctions.
The first shipment has yet to arrive, and Hezbollah has not announced details of where it will dock.
Asked about the Iranian shipment, caretaker energy minister Raymond Ghajar told journalists "our role is restricted to import permits, we did not receive a request for permission".
Asked if this meant the ship was coming without permits, Ghajar said: "No. We do not have information. Permission was not requested from us. This is all I am saying."
Parliament Speaker Nabih Knobby Berri ...Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, head of the Amal Shiite party aligned with Hezbollah, a not very subtle sock puppet of the Medes and Persians... said on Tuesday he welcomed any support, including from Iran, to help Lebanon get through its crisis.
