[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Federal authorities are seeking criminal charges for about a dozen illegal immigrants colonists who led a wild and chaotic riot at the border in El Paso, Texas Thursday and were identified via law enforcement cameras, DailyMail.com can reveal.
At least one migrant will face charges for assaulting a Texas National Guard member during the incident, where troops tried to stop a mob of migrants colonists from reaching the border wall Thursday, federal sources speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... told DailyMail.com.
'Those people weren't trying to peacefully enter the country; they were storming the gates,' Texas Congressman Tony Gonzales, who represents east El Paso said in a phone interview Friday.
'What do you think they're going to do when they're released all over the country?'
The migrants colonists had attempted to storm the border Wednesday night, throwing rocks at Texas National Guard members, but ended up dispersing, another source explained.
Images of the bedlam showed 600 migrants colonists first climbing over a triple layer of razor wire and then pushing past and overpowering national guard members who tried to stop them.

[Regnum] We cannot rule out attempts by the Yemeni rebel movement Ansar Allah (Houthis) to establish closer contacts with Beijing and Moscow. This probability is quite acceptable, but this information in any case requires official confirmation. This opinion was expressed by IA Regnum Arabist Andrey Zeltyn.
Bloomberg reported on March 21 that the Houthis promised Russia and China unhindered passage of their ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden in exchange for foreign policy support.
The Houthis have enjoyed great support from Iran for quite a long time, the expert recalled. In turn, in Tehran they were considered as a kind of pressure factor on Saudi Arabia, which acted as a regional adversary. But recently, Iranian support for the Houthis, according to Zeltyn, has begun to decline due to the obvious warming of bilateral relations between Tehran and Riyadh. It is difficult to assess these changes in specific figures, the expert noted. However, if Iran and Saudi Arabia begin to improve relations, then the Houthi factor as a lever of Iranian pressure in the region will disappear.
“But the Houthis don’t have very many of their own resources. And they have opposition both outside Yemen and inside, although they occupy quite strong positions in their country,” Zeltyn noted.
In his opinion, it is likely that it was in search of a solution to their problems that the Houthi movement actively came out in support of the Palestinians in their bloody conflict with Israel. It is also possible that, on the same basis, the movement could well try to establish closer relations with Russia and China against the backdrop of Washington’s sharply intensified confrontation with Moscow and Beijing. And the topic of unhindered passage of sea vessels is a good basis for such attempts.
“The logic is straightforward and absolutely transparent. Russia and China compete with the United States, which impose sanctions against Russia and at the same time put pressure on China. Americans support Israel, they are reactionary forces in the Middle East. The Houthis have their own problems; they are not averse to finding new sponsors in Beijing and Moscow, while continuing to threaten Western courts. This is exactly the product they are trying to sell now. And this story is not unique to the Middle East now,” the expert is sure.
The Houthis promised Russia and China that their ships would not be attacked in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. Bloomberg reported this on March 21, citing unnamed sources. The agency claims that the parties were able to reach such an agreement following negotiations in Oman. In exchange, the Houthis allegedly expect political support from Moscow and Beijing in international structures, primarily in the UN Security Council.
As Regnum reported, on March 14, Ansar Allah tested a hypersonic missile with high lethality. According to a military source, the solid-fuel rocket reached a speed of about Mach 8 (almost 10 thousand km per hour). And on March 15, the Houthis attacked the Israeli commercial ship Pacific 01 and a US Navy destroyer in the Red Sea. Several anti-ship missiles were fired at the American destroyer.
Shortly before this, on March 9, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saria announced attacks on a commercial ship and several American destroyers in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. According to him, anti-ship missiles and drones were used for attacks.
[IsraelTimes] Deputy ambassador called in for a ’serious reprimand’ as Ottoman Turkish president vows to send Netanyahu ’to Allah’
Foreign Minister Israel Katz on Friday ordered the Foreign Ministry to summon The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... ’s envoy to Israel for a "serious reprimand" after Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. 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. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important... vowed to "send [Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] to Allah."
"I instructed officials to summon the Ottoman Turkish deputy ambassador to Israel for a serious reprimand, following Erdogan’s serious attack on Prime Minister Netanyahu and his threats to send PM Netanyahu to Allah and to convey a clear message to Erdogan," Katz posted on X.
"You who support the burning of babies, murderers, rapists and the mutilation of corpses by Hamas ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... criminals, [are] the last one who can speak about God. There is no God who will listen to those who support the atrocities and crimes against humanity committed by your barbaric Hamas friends," Katz said. "Be quiet and shame on you!"
The deputy ambassador was summoned as Turkey withdrew its ambassador at the start of the war.
In a speech on Thursday at an election rally Erdogan vowed to "send [Netanyahu] to Allah to take care of him, make him miserable and curse him."
Erdogan has increasingly stepped up his rhetoric in the wake of October 7, attacking Israel and Netanyahu and giving his full support to Hamas, who he has called "freedom fighters."
"No one can make us qualify Hamas as a terrorist organization," he said in a speech in Istanbul earlier in the month. "Turkey is a country that speaks openly with Hamas leaders and firmly backs them."
He also claimed that "Netanyahu and his administration, with their crimes against humanity in 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 Hamas with 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... , are writing their names next to Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin, like today’s Nazis."
Hamas is listed as a terror organization by the United States, Israel, the United Kingdom, the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... , Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries.
In October, Erdogan claimed that Hamas was "not a terrorist organization" but "a group of mujahideen defending their lands." "Mujahideen" is an Arabic term for those engaged in jihad, or holy war.
The Ottoman Turkish president has been one of the most virulent critics of Israel since the start of the war in Gaza, which began on October 7 after thousands of Hamas-led forces of Evil burst into Israel by air, land and sea, killing some 1,200 people and kidnapping another 253, mostly civilians.
Erdogan has not officially condemned Hamas’s slaughter of Israeli civilians.
His government also maintains strong ties with Hamas, and Turkey has hosted some of its leaders. While the country insisted that it only hosted the group’s political wing, in 2020, Israel provided Ottoman Turkish intelligence with evidence that members of Hamas’s military wing operate in the office, under the supervision of Beirut-based Saleh al-Arouri, who was killed in an alleged Israeli strike in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah 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 dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original 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... in January.
In January, Erdogan’s foreign minister met the terror group’s Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... -based leader Ismail Haniyeh ...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank... .
Erdogan had been in the midst of an effort to warm ties with Israel in the months before the war, but has since sharply backtracked and returned to the same vitriolic attacks that characterized many of his previous years in power.
He and Netanyahu repeatedly aimed brickbats at each other in the years since a 2010 Israeli commando raid on the Gaza-bound Mavi Marmara ship, part of a blockade-busting flotilla, that left dead 10 Ottoman Turkish activists who attacked IDF soldiers aboard the ship. In July 2014, Erdogan accused the Jewish state of "keeping Hitler’s spirit alive" during a war with Gaza.
Ties later saw a moderate improvement, but both countries withdrew their ambassadors in 2018 amid violence in Gaza and the Trump administration’s relocation of its embassy to Jerusalem.
Facing hardening diplomatic isolation and economic woes, Erdogan began to publicly display an openness toward rapprochement in December 2020.
In August 2022, Israel and Turkey announced a full renewal of diplomatic ties.
In late September 2023, Erdogan met with Netanyahu in New York for their first known sit-down and the two enthusiastically discussed avenues of cooperation. President Isaac Herzog was hosted by Erdogan last March in Ankara — the first high-level Israeli visit since 2008 — and Foreign Minister Eli Cohen met the Ottoman Turkish leader in February 2023. Then-prime minister Yair Lapid met with Erdogan in New York during last year’s General Assembly.
Israel and Turkey again withdrew their ambassadors with the outbreak of the war, in Israel’s case as a safety measure.

Memory Hole spits one back. Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [KavkazUzel] An appeals court in the United States has demanded that the objectivity of two jurors who participated in sentencing Chechen native Dzhokhar Tsarnaev ...the pretty, ethnic-Chechen college boy from Dagestan who, with his highly connected, “self-radicalized” older brother, used pressure cooker bombs to blow up the Boston Marathon in 2013. The mosque the brothers frequented, the Islamic Society of Boston, is a hotbed of jihadi sentiment and connections to so many different jihadi groups and individuals the mind boggles. It was founded by Clinton Friend and Al Qaeda financier Abdurahman Alamoudi as a Muslim Student Association/Muslim Brotherhood project in 1981. According to Russian intelligence, whose warning about our lads President Obama’s intelligence agencies ignored until afterward, the Tsarnaev boys had lots of jihadi-connected friends back in the Olde Countrie, too, but nobody seems to have found a formal connection between them and any registered jihadi group. He’s been living in Florence Supermax prison since he was sentenced in 2015... to death in the Boston bombing case be examined.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, in July 2020, an appeals court in the United States overturned the decision on the death penalty and decided to review the sentence of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The court cited possible bias in the jury chosen in Boston, where the attack took place. On March 4, 2022, the US Supreme Court upheld Tsarnaev's death sentence. The execution of the sentence was postponed until the appeal was considered, the lawyer said in August 2022.
The US Court of Appeal has ordered an investigation into possible jury bias in the case of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. This could lead to a revision of the death sentence, Reuters reports today, the publication of which drew the attention of Kommersant.
The court in Boston did not grant Tsarnaev's appeal to overturn his conviction, but returned the case to the trial court, concluding that the defendant's complaints about jury bias were not properly investigated during the previous trial. Tsarnaev argued that two jurors lied when they said they did not discuss the case on social media before the trial began. Notice the absence of the Hajji convert Katherine Russell, wife of the late Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Vanished, never to be seen or heard from again.
The appeals court hearing was held on March 21, at which the court ordered the judge who presided over the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to find out whether two jurors were biased. New trial? No, Biden pardon likely. Hajji vote urgently needed in upcoming presidential election.
The district judge said that if the trial judge concluded that either juror should be disqualified, Tsarnaev would be entitled to a new trial, the release said.
Whatever. But in the end he helped his dead brother do it.
Let us remind you that the brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan "Speedbump" Tsarnaev, according to American intelligence services, organized a terrorist attack during the Boston Marathon on July 15, 2013. As a result of the double explosion, three people were killed and 180 were injured, according to the Caucasian Knot report “ Terrorist attack in Boston: Caucasian trace.”
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed during detention, and a court in Boston sentenced Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death on June 25, 2015, after which he was sent to a maximum security prison, according to the biography of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev posted on the "Caucasian Knot".

The Federal judiciary has long been at war with the Constitution, particularly the Fifth Amendment. They hate the death penalty (except when it's carried out by predators upon the public). What part of ", nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;" can't they grasp that with due process you may be deprived of life?
[IsraelTimes] Police deploy thousands of officers in Jerusalem’s Old City and around Temple Mount, say no ’unusual disturbances,’ despite seeing attempts to incite violence on social
Some 120,000 people attended the second Friday prayers of Ramadan at the al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount, which ended peacefully and without any disturbances, police and religious authorities said.
The Islamic Waqf, which administers the mosque compound, estimated that around 120,000 people took part in the prayers, up from an estimated 80,000 last week.
Police in a statement said that they had deployed thousands of officers in Jerusalem’s Old City and around the Temple Mount to ensure that the event passed peacefully. Police did not give a specific number, saying only that "tens of thousands took part."
Police said there were "no unusual disturbances," however, they noted that there had been attempts to "spread fake news and false stories on Arabic social media" in an attempt to incite violence.
The Haaretz daily reported that around 10,000 of the worshippers traveled from the West Bank to attend the prayers.
This marked the second successive Friday prayers to pass without incident in the Moslem holy month despite fears of disturbances after the Hamas ...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... terror group had called on Paleostinian worshipers to barricade themselves inside the al-Aqsa Mosque.
In a statement last week, Hamas had called on followers to "participate urgently in defending al-Aqsa Mosque against the aggression that lurks in these critical times."
In past years during Ramadan, Paleostinians have at times barricaded themselves inside the al-Aqsa Mosque, which is situated on the Temple Mount, some with explosives and rocks. Police operations to clear them out have often resulted in violence.
This year’s Ramadan comes amid tinderbox tensions stemming from the ongoing war against Hamas in 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 Hamas with 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... , triggered by the group’s shock October 7 attack, when thousands of Lions of Islam rampaged through southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people and taking 253 hostages.
Terror groups have called on Paleostinians to come to the al-Aqsa Mosque to confront Israel over the war in Gaza.
Police officers scuffled with some attendees at the Temple Mount entrance on the first night of Ramadan, but the holy site has been relatively peaceful since.

The newsworthy part is 120,000 Muslims got together without an explosion or a stampede. The fact that they did it in Jerusalem probably is a world record.
[GEO.TV] The United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... Security Council on Friday failed to pass a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in 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 Hamas with 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... as part of a hostage deal after Russia and China, who are permanent members, voted against the measure proposed by the United States.
The resolution called for an "immediate and sustained ceasefire" lasting roughly six weeks that would protect civilians and allow for the delivery of humanitarian assistance.
Russia's ambassador to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, said it was exceedingly politicised and contained an effective green light for Israel to mount a military operation in Rafah.

after Russia and China
Both wanting to retain autonomous population controls.

Then better make it absolutely clear to only way to guarantee safety is to clear out every inhabitant within 5 miles, set up fortifications, and clear at least three major roadways.
I don't see any outlets talking about the folly of it all either.
#8
Yeah, it will get blown up a couple three times while it is being built, but eventually the forthcoming Trump resort/government complex on the Med will need a pier. And yes, of course, we will blame the Juice.
#11
Re #7: I'm sure Hamas has missiles with a range > 5 miles. Make it 10 or 20 or so.
And put a bunch of Patriot missile sites, or other AA assets around the pier. With a DDG or CG sitting off the coast.

Sounds like the only way to ensure the pier works and no American casualties is to let Israel clear out Hamas then.
