[MSN] Nichelle Nichols, who played Lt. Nyota Uhura on the original "Star Trek," has died at the age of 89, her son Kyle Johnson announced on her official Facebook page."Last night, my mother, Nichelle Nichols, succumbed to natural causes and passed away," Johnson's statement read. "Her light however, like the ancient galaxies now being seen for the first time, will remain for us and future generations to enjoy, learn from, and draw inspiration. Hers was a life well lived and as such a model for us all."
"Today, my heart is heavy, my eyes shining like the stars you now rest among, my dearest friend," Nichols' co-star George Takei tweeted.

[Rolling Stones] Former President Donald Trump sounds like he wants WNBA player Brittney Griner to stay in a Russian prison. During a podcast appearance on the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, the former president voiced his opposition to the U.S. government’s reported offer to swap Griner and U.S. Marine Paul Whelan for Viktor Bout, a convicted Russian arms trafficker.
On the show, Trump maligned Griner as "a potentially spoiled person" who went to Russia "loaded up with drugs," which is an exaggeration of her cannabis arrest.
Brittney Griner, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and seven-time WNBA All-Star was arrested and charged with illegal drug possession and with smuggling a "significant amount" of cannabis. According to the Russian government, customs officers found "vapes" containing hashish oil in Griner’s luggage at an airport close to Moscow. Griner stands little chance of freedom if her fate is left to the Russian criminal justice system, which significantly favors the prosecution.
No, drugs are drugs. Old adage - when in Rome do as the Romans do. It's not the US. Talking about neo-colonialistic imperialistic white privilege talk there of imposing your values on others. [feels great to make them live up to the creeds they dump on us]

Russia and Griner want a swap deal.
Trump opposes the swap deal.
The headline is objectively false.
Trump sides with Western Civilization and against Russia and Griner.

Driving east on I-80 in north central PeeAve some years ago, I saw oncoming headlights through a pretty heavy snowfall. As the westbound lanes were separated from the east by a couple hundred yards of median there, I got really nervous slowed down and prepared for a bad situation. It was an odd sense of relief I felt when I saw the headlights that should not be there belonged to a car that had just flipped and come to rest upside down on the berm.

Tragic
That stretch of road is just south of Marengo, Illinois. I've driven it more times than I can remember.
Straight and flat. Only one or two places to make a mistake getting on the wrong way for westbound lanes, and they are 8-10 miles west of where the crash occurred (33.5 mile post).
At that time of the morning I'd guess alcohol.

[MSN] A Scottish woman who drank 20 cans of Irn-Bru a day for 25 years has finally managed to kick the habit, which she claims is thanks to hypnotism.
Carole Lamond, 57, would spend £3,000-a-year on the Scottish fizzy drink, which she first became hooked on as a young girl in Glasgow, before she moved to London.
When she returned to Scotland some 25 years ago, she apparently picked the habit up where she left off.
But the spate of coronavirus lockdowns, during which the HR manager worked from home, sent her addiction spiralling, and she began drinking about 20 cans of Irn-Bru each day.
She began to hide cans of the fizzy drink around the house so her husband William, 52, would not find out the extent of her dependency.
During two years of lockdown she drank almost 15,000 Irn-Brus —the equivalent of 94,000g of sugar and 450,000mg of caffeine — as she splashed out £60 a week on 24 packs.
"We could have bought several family holidays for the money I was spending. My recycling bin was overflowing each week with cans of Irn-Bru," she said.
"I would even take secret trips to the dump to dispose of the empty cans. I was like a drug addict trying to conceal my problem. I was literally chain drinking it."
She knew she needed to kick the habit when she was hospitalized in June this year after suffering dizzy spells, fainting and heart palpitations.
"It was the wake up call I needed really. I knew the amount of Irn-Bru I was drinking had something to do with it," Ms Lamond said.
"I’d had spells of dizziness and fainting and they couldn’t find anything wrong although they suspected a stroke at first. I even had scans for a brain tumour which is pretty scary but I knew that drinking all this Irn-Bru was to blame.
"We always had Irn-Bru in the house when I was a little girl as my mum would drink it. It is the Scottish national drink afterall. See the pictures at the link. She somehow avoided getting fat while drinking all that sugar. Maybe the caffeine helped her burn it off.

One of my favorite all-time move lines comes from My Favorite Year(1982):
"Damn you! I'm not an actor, I am a movie star!" --Peter O'Toole as action star 'Alan Swann' objecting to doing a live TV skit ('no re-takes!')

[PUNCHNG] The Bayelsa State Police Command said on Sunday that it had recovered the corpses of four officers who were missing after a surveillance boat conveying them was crushed by a gunboat in the state’s waterways on July 25.
The four bodies of the slain coppers had been deposited at the mortuary of the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa.
The operations manager of Darlon Oil and Gas Limited, an oil surveillance firm, identified as Odi Lyon, who was the younger brother of a former All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Bayelsa, David Lyon, also died in the incident.
The command had earlier explained through a statement by its front man, Asinim Butswat, that the surveillance boat conveying the dear departed officers capsized at Korokorosei in the Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of the state on the fateful day.
It stated that, "One policeman’s body was recovered while three are still missing...The command is yet to establish the circumstances surrounding the unfortunate incident. Divers have been deployed to the area for possible rescue of the missing persons."
Speaking on the recovery of the four corpses, the Commissioner of Police, Benjamin Okolo, however, attributed the incident to the handiwork of pipeline vandals.
He said, "They (slain officers) intercepted some vandals and burnt some equipment used for vandalism. Preparing to return to base, the boat, which is a gunboat with unidentified people, most likely these vandals, ran into them with the intention to get them capsized.
"And in the process, the civil mobile coppers, who were onboard the speedboat that was taking them for the surveillance, capsized and fell into the water. Three swarm to safety but four couldn’t make it, including one of the personnel of Darlon Company. But finally, all the bodies have been recovered."
Okolo said the Inspector-General of Police and the entire police family were saddened by the huge loss that resulted from the incident.
But a source said that the gunboat that ran into the surveillance boat conveying the dear departed officers and the civilian was allegedly operated by another team of coppers, who escorted a dredger.
The source, who spoke in confidence, claimed that the officers had escorted the dredger to anchor at Ogboinbiri, also in Southern Ijaw, and were returning when their gunboat allegedly crushed the surveillance boat of the victims.
However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... Okolo dismissed the account of the source as "lies and untrue", insisting that the survivors of the incident confirmed it was carried out by the vandals with a view to killing the occupants of the surveillance boat.

Another once-wealthy country falls to utopian socialism.
[Epoch Times] Protests have erupted in Buenos Aires over the past 90 days and continue to build inside the capital as residents battle with their center-left government over sizeable amendments to social programs. Cuts to subsidies in the energy sector based on household income already began in June.
Other subsidies, including the country’s notorious welfare program, are also on the chopping block, triggering thousands of angry residents to take to the streets. State-sponsored aid for civilians has soared in the past 20 years, leaving 22 million Argentinians dependent on some form of government assistance.
The country’s state funded programs extend to nearly every aspect of the economy, from wages to utilities, education, and health care. Argentina already spends an estimated 800 million pesos per day—a sum of more than US$6 million—on state benefit programs. Oh, the US can top that!
Cries for more state money, freedom from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and for President Alberto Fernandez to step down echoed within the angry crowds gathered near the president’s office—Casa Rosada —during the nation’s independence day celebration on July 9.
Since then, scheduled demonstrations have continued, led by professional protest organizers or "piqueteros" demanding the abolition of the proposed subsidy cuts and a wage increase. More free stuff! Don't stop 'till we get enough!
Gomez has lived and worked in Buenos Aires for more than 15 years and currently is a taxi driver. As the years have passed, he’s watched his country dive deeper into economic chaos.
"I’ve seen five presidents come and go in that time; nothing has improved. Half of our country doesn’t want a job, and the ones that do, don’t want to pay the taxes for the others," he said. Thus endeth the lesson.

[1945] "The position of the Chinese government and people on the Taiwan question is consistent, and resolutely safeguarding China’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity is the firm will of the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people," Chinese ruler Xi Jinping told President Joe Biden during their phone call on July 28, according to the Chinese foreign ministry. "The public opinion cannot be defied. Those who play with fire will perish by it."
"Perish"?
Xi’s dire-sounding warning, issued in connection with reports that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to go to Taiwan, suggests either that Xi Jinping perceives Biden to be so weak that he can push him around or that China’s internal problems are so severe that the Communist Party must create an external crisis to distract the Chinese people. In the worst case, both are true.
For about a decade, Chinese leaders have believed the United States has been in terminal decline, and their regime will soon ascend to global dominance.
Biden, at least in their minds, has confirmed this view. His calamitous withdrawal from Afghanistan and his failure to stop Russia’s invasion of Ukraine left Beijing thinking that it can now do what it wants to Taiwan.
At the same time, Xi’s threat could be the result of regime insecurity. He needs an external crisis so that the Chinese people won’t think too much about the internal ones. Inside China, coronavirus continues to infect the population, and Xi’s "dynamic zero-COVID" policy is causing widespread resentment as well as undermining the ailing economy.
China’s economy, despite the report of 0.4% year-to-year growth in the second quarter, is almost certainly contracting.
At the same time, the debt crisis, delayed for more than a decade, has been hitting the country. Evergrande Group and other large property developers are defaulting on bond and other obligations, apartment projects remain unfinished, buyers of flats are participating in a nationwide "mortgage boycott" by not paying banks, the boycott has spread to suppliers of the developers, and financial institutions across the country are tight on cash. There are bank runs, especially in Henan province, but banks in the financial capital of Shanghai are also in poor condition.

Pelosi has been a thorn in China's side for several decades.
Two years after Tienanmen sq she went there with a placard memorializing the people who died there. Then on the 19th anniversary of Tienanmen she gave a Regime-denouncing speech in Congress.
It is true that other of her efforts, e.g., indirect subsidies for China's slave labor constructed wind energy industry, helped China. But she was not alone in that.

Kosovo Serbia conflict now flaring up. Kosovo supported by UK, USA, and perhaps Paris and Berlin. The opposition being Serbia whose supporter is Russia. Sooner or later Balkan crisis will at some point develop. This is an indication of the willingness of war interests far removed from this area involved.
Asra Abdullah Alsehli, 24, and Amaal Abdullah Alsehli, 23, were asylum seekers
They jumped on a plane from Saudi Arabia to Sydney, via Hong Kong, with $5k
Five years after arriving in Sydney, they were found dead in their unit in June
Police originally insisted family were cooperating with ongoing investigation
Family reportedly refused permission for police to release photos and names
Police confirmed women's identities were released in consultation with coroner
Police believe the two young women, found in separate beds, may have been dead for a month before officers made the grim discovery while conducting a welfare check.
There were no signs of forced entry, no clear signs of injury, and the cause of death remains undetermined.
For weeks, NSW Police assured media the sisters 'well-connected' family in the Saudi kingdom were 'cooperating' and 'helping' with the investigation.
It's also been revealed the sisters were both seeking protection from the Australian government as more details about their attempts to build a normal life here emerged.
They had an active claim for asylum in progress with the Department of Home Affairs, it has been confirmed.
Radio Free Europe reporting both Kosovo police and NATO forces have now deployed additional units in north Kosovo in response to the crisis and the barricades erected by Serb militants. At the same time, Belgrade propaganda machinery tonight in overdrive. https://t.co/oUFsf3nxi5
On the administrative border between Serbia and the so-called "Republic of Kosovo" units of the Serbian army are in full combat readiness and are waiting for orders.
Starting tomorrow, Pristina will no longer recognize Serbian internal passports (personal card) that all Serbs in northern Kosovo have. New rules for the entry of cars with Serbian numbers will also begin.
Aleksandar Vučić has long and unambiguously hinted that new provocations are being prepared in the region, and not without the help of Western "partners". And today the head of the Serbian Foreign Ministry said that "Albanians are preparing hell in Kosovo and Metohija." Against the background of all this, the Serbian Armed Forces and the Ministry of Internal Affairs began joint anti-terrorist exercises.
At the same time, according to local residents, Albanians have been taking their relatives out of the northern municipalities, which are dominated by the Serb population, for several days in a row. Yesterday, the equipment of the Kosovo special forces ROSU was also seen, which is again being transferred from south to north.
The entire northern part of Kosovska Mitrovica is plastered with posters "we don't give up, Serbian documents remain"
In the afternoon, air raid sirens were heard in the north of Kosovo and Metohija, shooting was heard on the administrative line and the first wounded were reported.
Hundreds of Kosovo Serbs come out to the barricades being erected.
Armed Albanians are gathering in the southern part of Kosovska Mitrovica, units of the Serbian Armed Forces are on full alert.
From regnum.ru: Serb injured in clashes in northern Kosovo Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] A Serb was injured on the barricades in northern Kosovo during clashes with the so-called Kosovo police. This is reported by the portal Kosovo Online.
“Near the Yarina checkpoint, an incident occurred in which Serb N.V. from the village of Leshak was injured, who was taken by ambulance to the Kosovska Mitrovica Clinical and Hospital Center ,” the portal says.
No other details have been provided yet. At the same time, the Kosovo police claim that there were no casualties during the clashes in northern Kosovo. More from regnum.ru:
Serbia has transferred military aircraft to airfields located near Kosovo, CNN reports, citing informed sources.
Armored vehicles and special forces of the self-proclaimed Kosovo arrived in Kosovska Mitrovica, RT reports.
As REGNUM reported earlier, Kosovo police units moved out of Pristina to the north of Kosovo and Metohija, where protests by local Serbs are taking place. At the same time, the security forces were in full gear and with special equipment. Together with them, several ambulances went north.

[OFF-GUARDIAN.ORG] In September 2021, Bob Moran — then busy balancing his unlikely dual roles of Chief Political Cartoonist at the Daily Telegraph and Unofficial Cartoonist Laurette of the Great Awakening™ — got into trouble.
This trouble ultimately resulted in his losing his job (the Telegraph one, that is), forcing him to think of new ways to support his young family.
Many celebrated his fall, including some of his Telegraph colleagues. These had been leaking their discontent for some time. A year earlier, the first in a series of reports had appeared in Private Eye:
"Hacks at the Daily Telegraph are increasingly horrified by their main political cartoonist, "Bob", aka Bob Moran - not so much for his cartoons as for his noisy presence on Twitter, where he has become a hero to Covid sceptics and anti-vaxxers..."
Meanwhile, for the average normie, Bob's sacking (if they noticed it at all) likely seemed well-deserved, having resulted from a reasonably rough Twitter skirmish with a model citizen of technocratic progressivism, Dr Rachel Clarke.
An active doctor in palliative care and COVID wards, Dr Clarke was also a best-selling author of three books, and an Oxford graduate (of PPE) with a background in foreign affairs journalism.
She was more recently a frequent talking head on UK news — sometimes appearing in her scrubs, as if having stepped directly from intensive care - where she would implore Boris Johnson to act more "decisively" on issues such as lockdowns and vaccination, citing the purported "human cost" of any hint of hesitation deploying the New Normal in its full glory.
From her spotless Twitter account ("she/her") to her Ted Talks on compassion and love, Dr Clarke always expressed herself in the fluent, firm, self-assured tones of the English upper middle classes. She was as perfect a picture of liberal "goodness" as you could hope to encounter.
"Bob", on the other hand. was just the anonymous presence lurking behind his seemingly mean-spirited sketches, which ridiculed almost every pandemic response, gestured towards vast global conspiracies, belittled the virus that had gripped the world in mortal terror, and scorned the institutions commonly looked to for protection and guidance.
One of the two could not be wrong. But where was "goodness" really found? The palliative care doctor along with the institutions and global policies she extolled? Or the fleet street cartoonist, and the no less global network of activists and cynics whose suspicions and misgivings he had vividly articulated since the lockdowns began? Needless to say, read the whole thing

[By Jimmy Orr, Cowboy State Daily] For those who believe that CNN is a credible news organization, and according to polls that number is a minority (especially with Republican voters), the network came to Cheyenne Frontier Days over the weekend to do a news story on how Wyoming citizens regard U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney.
In a highly publicized memo, the new president of CNN last spring said in light of the numerous scandals that have plagued the news organization, he wanted the focus of the network to be on credibility and put "journalism first."
If the news segment of the CNN broadcast from the site of the largest outdoor rodeo in the world on Sunday was any indication, the network might be shifting toward a less manipulated form of journalism again.
The network reported that most of the Wyoming respondents they interviewed did not have a high opinion of Cheney.
The unscientific results of their interviews would appear to somewhat follow the scientific poll done earlier in July which shows Cheney has a 66% disapproval rating in addition to being behind challenger Harriet Hageman by a 52 — 30% margin.
