[FoxNews] Man had AK-47 pistol, ski mask, tactical bag and full magazine
Nuts or Black Bloc/Antifa?
A man armed with an AK-47 pistol and wearing a ski mask was arrested on Monday just blocks from Fiserv Forum where the Republican National Convention is being held in Milwaukee, a federal law enforcement source confirmed to Fox News.
Homeland Security Investigators and Capitol Police were conducting surveillance near the RNC perimeter when they noticed a suspicious man approaching. He was wearing a ski mask and carrying a tactical bag, Fox News’ source confirmed. Clearly, they was 'profiling'.
Inside the bag, police found the gun and a full magazine. His intentions were unclear.
Milwaukee Police confirmed the incident to Fox News, saying a 21-year-old man was arrested around 1 p.m. on Monday on the 1200 block of N. 11th Street.
Police said the man does not have a concealed weapon license in Wisconsin or any other state.
Charges are pending review by the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office, police said.
Fox News reached out to the Secret Service about the incident and was referred to Milwaukee Police. Fox News also reached out to Homeland Security Investigations and the Department of Homeland Security, but has not yet heard back.
This is not the only disturbing security concern to take place at the RNC. On Tuesday, a man was shot and killed by police about 2 miles from Fiserv Forum. A witness told Fox News the man lived in a nearby homeless camp and was brandishing a knife when he was shot.
Also on Tuesday, Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Minn., said he was assaulted by a protester. He said a member of CODEPINK assaulted him while he was waiting in line to enter the venue. He called it an "incident of political violence."
CODEPINK said the woman "was intentionally bumped into by this bald, white member of Congress while he tried to shove past her." The activist group denied Orden was assaulted.
This all comes as Tuesday’s theme of the RNC is "Make America Safe Once Again" and former President Donald Trump has called to address crime in Milwaukee.
[GEO.TV] Following attacks on security personnel in Pakistain, the US State Department on Tuesday urged the Afghan Taliban ...Arabic for students... to ensure that the terrorist attacks are not launched from their soil. You know what they say. Demand in one hand...
State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said this in response to a query seeking his comments on a recent terrorist attack in which seven people, including two security forces personnel and five civilians, including children, were martyred in Dera Ismail Khan ... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ... The security personnel were martyred in an hours-long exchange of fire with the terrorists, and again, these are murderous Moslems coming from the "safe haven in Afghanistan", the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
"On the night between July 15 and 16, the murderous Moslems carried out a cowardly attack on the Rural Health Center (RHC), Kirri Shamozai in the Dera Ismail Khan District and opened indiscriminate fire on RHC staff."
Addressing a news briefing, Miller said: "We do continue to urge the Taliban to ensure that terrorist attacks are not launched from the Afghan soil."
The spokesperson said that it had been a priority for the US in engagements with them, and it continues to be.
He reiterated that the Pak people have suffered greatly at the hands of violent mostly peacefulholy warriors and terrorists.
"We have a shared interest with the Pak people and the government of Pakistain in combating threats to regional security."

[SUDANTRIBUNE] In a significant development, participants in the African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... and IGAD-facilitated preparatory meeting for an inter-Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans... ese political dialogue have officially excluded the former ruling National Congress Party (NCP) from participating in the post-war political process.
This decision was reached during the conclusion of the first preparatory meeting, attended by approximately 20 diverse groups representing political blocs, parties, civil society, and youth.
The participants agreed that the first phase of dialogue would focus on crucial issues such as achieving a ceasefire, facilitating humanitarian aid delivery, and establishing a transitional framework. A second phase is planned to delve into broader state-building concerns, including establishing a state founded on principles of citizenship, democracy, justice, and sustainable peace. Ensuring human rights ...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state... for all citizens and reforming state institutions are also key priorities.
The closing session experienced delays due to disagreements over condemning the Rapid Support Forces and their international backers, as well as the formation of a caretaker or technocratic government. However,
a hangover is the wrath of grapes... after discussions with the African Union envoy to Sudan, Mohammed Belaiche, consensus was reached on a final statement and agenda.
Mubarak Ardol, a prominent leader within the Democratic Bloc, clarified that the dialogue aims to be inclusive, excluding only individuals facing legal charges or convictions, particularly those related to genocide, crimes against humanity, or war crimes. This implicitly encompasses the NCP, which was dissolved and banned under the Constitutional Declaration.
Ardol emphasized that the meeting’s discussions centred on ending the ongoing conflict, implementing the Jeddah agreement, and initiating direct negotiations to unify and reform Sudan’s security sector. The participants also expressed strong support for the unrestricted delivery of humanitarian aid, particularly to the hard-hit Nuba Mountains region in South Kordofan.
In his opening remarks, Mohammed Chambas, Head of the African Union High-Level Panel for Sudan, stated that the five-day preparatory meeting aimed to foster goodwill and facilitate dialogue between Sudanese political factions and civil society groups. He emphasized that the meeting was part of a broader effort to peacefully resolve the conflict in Sudan and pave the way for an inclusive inter-Sudanese dialogue. Chambas affirmed the African Union’s commitment to non-interference, stating that the meeting’s agenda and topics were determined solely by the participants themselves.

[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans... ese military has rejected an Iranian proposal to establish a permanent military ship in Port Sudan in exchange for continued military aid in the ongoing conflict with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The request for an Iranian helicopter carrier in Port Sudan is part of ongoing negotiations between the two countries regarding a potential defence cooperation agreement. Despite the Sudanese army’s rejection of this request, sources indicate 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... continues to supply drones to Sudan.
According to these sources, Sudanese Islamist leaders with ties to the Iranian regime have attempted to mediate an agreement between the Sudanese army and the Iranian government. However,
alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk... discussions in April did not lead to a deal due to opposition from Sudanese military leaders.
In a separate development, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov promised "unrestricted qualitative military aid" to the Sudanese government last April. This aid could potentially include the deployment of Russian forces in Sudan.
Sources have confirmed high-level coordination between Russia and Iran to supply the Sudanese army with drones, heavy artillery ammunition, and aircraft missiles. This support comes as the Sudanese army faces shortages after the RSF seized key military warehouses in Khartoum.
The Sudanese leadership’s rejection of Iran’s request for a permanent naval base in Port Sudan is reportedly due to concerns about potential backlash from Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...

Notably, Iran later modified its request to establish a dual-use commercial and military port, which was also rejected by Sudanese officials.

[THISDAYLIVE] The United States government has revealed plans to supply drones to Nigeria as part of its commitment to help overcome security challenges in the country.
The American Ambassador to Nigeria, Ms. Mary Beth Leonard, stated this in Sokoto at a round table discussion with journalists in the state.
She said the drones would help Nigeria to end the activities of bandidos, kidnappers, and Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... in the country.
The American ambassador said: "Insecurity has shortchanged the development of the country in many areas of human endeavour.
"America is concern about the security situation of the country."
The ambassador further explained that the US has been supportive of Nigeria on information gathering and hardware to combat security through modern technologies and other relevant areas of concern.
She said, however, protocols and channels that facilitate the implementations were considered by departments and expertise.
The ambassador who is going round states in the country to inspect American programs in the country said, "USAID had from 2015 to date invested about one hundred and twenty-two million dollars on different activities that comprised improving primary healthcare, immunisations, public access to quality healthcare, education, agriculture, and empowerments programmes.
"USAID future interactions aimed at strengthening the commitments include improving agriculturalists’ capacity for farmers to engage on right agricultural practices for growth and enhanced food production."
She added that the Safe Schools Initiative and other educational support was accorded with priority, stressing that the US government accorded respect and concern on the plights of Nigerians.
She noted that the US government is assisting Nigeria in various human endeavours, stressing that her country is the largest single bilateral contributor to Nigeria.
The Ambassador commended the Sokoto State government for its commitment to developing the agricultural sector especially the cotton value chain.

[Regnum] In Russia, in the first six months of 2024, the number of extremist crimes committed by migrants increased by 55%. This was reported on July 16 by the press service of the Investigative Committee of Russia in the Telegram channel.
Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander Bastrykin held a meeting to discuss the results of the work of territorial investigative bodies in the first half of 2024 in the field of migration. During the meeting, it was noted that the number of rapes committed by immigrants increased by 5%, and the number of cases of indecent acts against children by 25%. A 55% increase in the number of extremist crimes committed by migrants was also recorded.
“All of this requires close attention from the law enforcement corps, an immediate, clear procedural response to violations of the law, systemic preventive measures, deep knowledge of the current regional situation, and consideration of the specifics of the local migration situation,” the press service quotes Bastrykin as saying.
The Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia also noted that the problem of criminality by immigrants is closely linked to abuses by law enforcement and regulatory agencies, as well as entrepreneurs involved in attracting foreign labor.
Bastrykin demanded a fundamental response to violations of migration legislation and an effective suppression of criminal organized activity involving the mass import of foreign labor.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the vice-speaker of the State Duma Irina Yarovaya reported that all crimes related to the organization of illegal migration will be classified as serious and especially serious. According to the vice-speaker, all authorized agencies, as well as law enforcement agencies and services, will give the State Duma feedback on the bill developed by the deputies, which concerns several of the most important areas.
Yarovaya noted that some of the prepared amendments will also affect the liability of illegal migrants who commit crimes, and such status will become an aggravating circumstance in this case.
She also clarified that State Duma deputies are proposing to introduce extrajudicial blocking of websites that advertise any forms of illegal receipt of documents by foreign citizens.
On July 5, a bill was introduced to the State Duma proposing confiscation of property for organizing illegal migration if such a crime was committed for mercenary motives. The document proposes extending the confiscation of property to Article 322.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
On July , Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev said that the number of crimes related to illegal migration has doubled in Russia. The head of the Interior Ministry emphasized that certain illegal acts by foreign citizens cause a wide public resonance and contribute to the growth of interethnic tensions.
The State Duma intends to support the initiative to expand the list of offenses for which migrants can be deported from the country. State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said that the innovations will affect offenses related to public order and security, including extremist activity and violations of migration registration. Also at issue is disobedience to police officers, providing false information during registration, petty hooliganism and propaganda of extremism.

[Regnum] A conflict occurred in the Lefortovo pretrial detention center (SIZO) between one of the suspects in the case of the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall
…the attack was claimed by ISIS, which appears at first glance to be contradicted by this little tale…
near Moscow, Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev and an employee of the institution. This was reported by the MK.RU publication, citing a source.
The incident allegedly occurred after the accused terrorist allegedly began to criticize Islam in a rude manner. A prison officer, a Muslim by faith, got into an altercation with the prisoner. The men argued, and it came to blows. There is no official confirmation of this.
It could be that the prisoner is not Muslim. Or he is taqfiri, and despises the guard for not being properly pious.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the terrorist attack in Krasnogorsk, Moscow Region, occurred on the evening of March 22. Four armed terrorists broke into Crocus and opened fire on visitors, after which they set the place on fire. As a result, 145 people died, including six children. More than 500 people were injured. The court recognized more than 1,700 people as victims in the terrorist attack case. The alleged perpetrators of the terrorist attack were taken into custody on March 25. The accused are being held in solitary confinement for their own safety.
In May, it was reported that the alleged perpetrators of the terrorist attack – Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev, Saidakram Murodali Rachabalizoda, Shamsiddin Fariduni and Muhammadsobir Faizov (all four are included in the Rosfinmonitoring list of terrorists and extremists) – did not appeal the court’s decision to extend their detention until August 22.
President Vladimir Putin promised that Russia would get to all the beneficiaries and customers of the terrorist attack in Crocus.

I didn't think Krokus was all that bad, Raj, especially considered it was in the midst of those dire New Wave days. One and done or maybe two and done for Krokus, but they were o.k.

DooDahMan - you're right; I was just going for some snide commentary. You're right about that period in metal; Iron Maiden was out with their first albums; so were Metallica and Motley Crüe and there were tons of hair metal bands cropping up (Dokken, Skid Row, Poison, Ratt, Warrant, etc.) so Krokus is in that second tier, not rock bottom.

[Regnum] The Holy Quran does not allow assault — women who have become victims of domestic violence should seek help. This was told to RIA Novosti by a representative of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims (SAM) of Tatarstan after the publication of the video “How to properly beat your wife” on Telegram channels.
A pious Moslem should strive always to do as Allah wills.
The day before, the Tatar-inform agency published an interview with Kazan imam Timur Kamaev, in which he said that, according to Sharia, a husband is not allowed to beat his wife, this is a myth. In the video, he stated several times that beating a wife is absolutely forbidden.
The publication noted that a number of media outlets and Telegram channels published parts of the interview taken out of context, talking about the possibility of “beating in such a way as to leave no traces.”
The Spiritual Directorate of Muslims of Tatarstan insists on viewing the full version of the video podcast, but it has already been removed.
"Assault is unacceptable, as is causing physical and moral harm to someone - a sin in Islam. Women who are victims of domestic violence should seek help from hazrats and the police," said a representative of the DUM of Tatarstan.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, in one of the shopping centers in Serpukhov, Moscow region, a man beat his wife in front of their child and visitors.
In the Bashkir city of Salavat, a drunk man beat his common-law wife to death and lay down in an embrace with the corpse. Police officers found him in this position. He pleaded guilty to murder.
“Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband’s] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance – [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.”

"Quran
Quran (4:34) - "Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great." Contemporary translations sometimes water down the word 'beat', but it is the same one used in verse 8:12 and clearly means 'to strike'.
Quran (38:44) - "And take in your hand a green branch and beat her with it, and do not break your oath..." Allah telling Job to beat his wife (Tafsir)."
It would be quite a coup, indeed… if it were humanly possible within the next million years or so.

Hamas later said it would be attending talks in the Chinese capital at what it called an "expanded factional meeting" this weekend.
"The movement responded with a positive spirit and national responsibility," official Hossam Badran said in a statement.
Hamas was "keen on achieving national unity worthy of our Paleostinian people... especially in light of the al-Aqsa Flood battle," he added.

[IsraelNationalNews] The IDF announced that this coming Sunday, July 21st, 2024, the process of issuing initial summons orders for the first call-up and for the assessment and evaluation procedures ahead of the upcoming recruitment cycle, which begins in July, will commence.
...About 3,000 haredim are expected to receive their summons orders beginning next week.
The move to draft more haredim into the IDF follows the Supreme Court ruling that haredi yeshiva students can no longer receive blanket exemptions from military service while other sectors of Israeli society face mandatory military service and that such a policy violates the principle of equality. Heredim (Ultra-orthodox) are actually sects run by hereditary rulers - who control every aspect of life of their subjects because the provide livelihood by trading votes for public money. And the main reason they object to draft is that very few of their subjects will return to the sect after service.
