[KSTP] A 32-year-old man has pleaded guilty to one count of third-degree criminal sexual conduct in connection to what authorities said was an attempted sexual assault on the Minneapolis Community and Technical College campus in early March. "Yeah. I dunnit and I'm glad!"
Asad Abu Mohammed of Bloomington entered his plea Monday in Hennepin County court. Sentencing is scheduled for June 8. "You know what this is, Abu?"
"It's a book, yer honor."
[FLING!]
The criminal complaint states Minneapolis police were dispatched to the campus on March 2, where they encountered what the complaint terms a "chaotic scene," as witnesses were comforting a female adult student and MCTC security officers were struggling to detain Mohammed. "The net, Larry! Quick!"
According to the complaint, the woman told police Mohammed had crawled into her stall in a women's restroom from an adjacent stall. "Hey! How'd you get in here?"
She said he then covered her mouth and told her he would kill her before ripping out an earring and pulling on her hair. "Sex!! Abu want sex!"
"Beat it! I'm poopin'!"
The complaint also notes two previous charges of indecent exposure against Mohammed were dismissed due to "mental deficiency," and he had been civilly committed as mentally ill in October 2016. I've run across a few low IQ people in my life. None of them have indecently exposed themselves, at least to me. I've known fewer lunatics, but Abu sounds like a sterling representative of the breed, and an argument in favor of maintaining a few crazy houses for long term storage.
He sounds entitled rather than crazy to me. Sex jihad is apparently believed by some to be a thing, hence the rape clubs now being revealed in England. As a British ‘Asian’ gang member once told an interviewer, “...Muslim gangs aren't worried about what Allah makes of their criminal ways -- they don't believe in it to that extent."

Hey Supreme Court, is this crime sufficiently violent for deportation?
[FOX] On Sunday, April 15, it was revealed Bush is in "failing health" and won’t seek additional medical treatment, a Bush family spokesman said.
"Following a recent series of hospitalizations, and after consulting her family and doctors, Mrs. Bush, now age 92, has decided not to seek additional medical treatment and will instead focus on comfort care," spokesman Jim McGrath said in a news release.
McGrath did not elaborate as to the nature of Bush’s health problems. She has been treated for decades for Graves’ disease, which is a thyroid condition, had heart surgery in 2009 for a severe narrowing of her main heart valve and was hospitalized a year before that for surgery on a perforated ulcer.
"It will not surprise those who know her that Barbara Bush has been a rock in the face of her failing health, worrying not for herself ‐ thanks to her abiding faith ‐ but for others," McGrath said. "She is surrounded by a family she adores, and appreciates the many kind messages and especially the prayers she is receiving."
Bush, who is at home in Houston, is one of only two first ladies who was also the mother of a president. The other was Abigail Adams, wife of John Adams, the nation’s second president, and mother of John Quincy Adams, the sixth president.
Bush married George H.W. Bush on Jan. 6, 1945. They had six children and have been married longer than any presidential couple in American history.
Eight years after she and her husband left the White House, Mrs. Bush stood with her husband as their son George W. was sworn in as the 43rd president.
President Donald Trump’s press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said in a statement Sunday evening that "the President’s and first lady’s prayers are with all of the Bush family during this time."
Bush is known for her white hair and her triple-strand fake pearl necklace.
Her brown hair began to gray in the 1950s, while her 3-year-old daughter Pauline, known to her family as Robin, underwent treatment for leukemia and eventually died in October 1953. She later said dyed hair didn’t look good on her and credited the color to the public’s perception of her as "everybody’s grandmother."
Her pearls sparked a national fashion trend when she wore them to her husband’s inauguration in 1989. The pearls became synonymous with Bush, who later said she selected them to hide the wrinkles in her neck. The candid admission only bolstered her common sense and down-to-earth public image.
Her 93-year-old husband, the nation’s 41st president who served from 1989 to 1993, also has had health issues in recent years. In April 2017, he was hospitalized in Houston for two weeks for a mild case of pneumonia and chronic bronchitis. He was hospitalized months earlier, also for pneumonia. He has a form of Parkinson’s disease and uses a motorized scooter or a wheelchair for mobility.
Before being president, he served as a congressman, CIA director and Ronald Reagan’s vice president.
Barbara Pierce Bush was born June 8, 1925, in Rye, New York. Her father was the publisher of McCall’s and Redbook magazines. She and George H.W. Bush married when she was 19 and while he was a young naval aviator. After World War II, the Bushes moved to Texas where he went into the oil business.

[FoxNews] Officials in Los Angeles have been painting streets white to reduce the effect of urban "heat islands" and combat the effects of climate change. Wait, I thought climate change was from CO2. Now the materials used to build cities is contributing, too?
The LA Street Services began rolling out the project last May, which preliminary testing shows has reduced the temperature of roadways by up to 10 degrees. The project involves applying a light gray coating of the product CoolSeal, made by the company GuardTop. So where does the energy go, that used to be absorbed by the pavement? Perhaps the energy is destroyed by the CoolSeal, or converted into unicorn food? "CoolSeal is applied like conventional sealcoats to asphalt surfaces to protect and maintain the quality and longevity of the surface," according to the company website. "While most cool pavements on the market are polymer based, CoolSeal is a water-based, asphalt emulsion." The water evaporates, leaving the asphalt - you know, that icky fossil fuel stuff?
While each coasting could can last up to seven years, they are also pricey, with the estimated cost of $40,000 per mile, the L.A. Daily News reported. I can't seem to find anything about this magical product at the company's website. Maybe someone calculated the energy 'savings'?

Our freeways are paved with concrete. In some of the nicer, older residential neighborhoods of San Diego the streets are paved with concrete. Maybe more expensive at first but some of those streets have been like that for many decades. Concrete is far more durable with a lot less potholes than asphalt. Looks a lot nicer too.

the 'white' asphalt surface treatment initiative began in mid 2017
this treatment is only slightly more expensive than a similar treatment with a darker emulsion
the lighter the surface, the slower the oxy- deterioration of the treatment
so this may work out
finally, some of the basic science and engineering was done in the W administration and initially endorsed by scientists in the Obama admin until the hard core greenies stopped it because it doesn't cause enough suffering

Abu - those streets are nice...til the first utility company has to trench for underground or upgraded facilities. We HAVE to use them on really steeply-sloped streets due to asphalt creep during summer heat. Think Pt. Loma, OB, Mission Hills...

The problem with concrete is someone idiot always has to sign their name in the stuff before it dries.
If LA was smart they'd sell of the rights for folks to sign and otherwise mark up the sidewalk sections of new concrete streets. Encourage groups to purchase them make a game of it with best design competitions and such. Donate a few for public relations and all that.

UPDATE: Last night, the National Transportation Safety Board said a preliminary examination had revealed one of the CFM56-7B engine's fan blades was separated and missing. The blade was separated at the point where it would come into the hub and there was evidence of metal fatigue, chairman Robert Sumwalt said.
#9
Is it odd for a fuel explosion to blow forward?Maybe some maintenance tech didn't torque the cowling bolts?
No, it's not odd at all. WHen you consider the job of the blade is to pull forward (dragging the rest of the plane along with it) It's not surprising that the blade while separating, would keep on going forward, banging into the cowling and because of its shape, spiral around a bit (instead of a straight line trajectory) which explain why it hit the window in passing.

I had lunch with a retired Delta senior mechanic today. He explained the entire fan structure in great technical detail. Bottom line according to him... "failed inspection procedures."
Well done, President Sisi. Here’s hoping the riots in the villages aren’t too destructive.
[AlAhram] Egypt's Prime Minister Sherif Ismail approved on Monday the legalising of 102 churches and 64 church-associated buildings during a meeting with a regulating committee tasked with reviewing and legalising unlicensed churches, MENA news agency reported.
For decades, Egyptians Christians have congregated at unlicensed churches due to the difficulty in obtaining church building licences.
In early January 2018, Egypt's Ministry of Housing issued an order allowing Christians to practice their religious rites at unlicensed churches pending legalisation procedures.
In 2016, the government passed a law easing regulations around obtaining licences for building Christian houses of worship.
Before the law was passed, the country's Christians, who make up an estimated 10 percent of the country's 100 million people, had long struggled to obtain building permits for churches, with the process often taking years.
Monday's decision involves churches across several governorates, but their precise location is not clear.
The committee meeting was attended by Egypt's Minister of Local Development Abu Bakr El-Guindy and officials from other ministries.
PM Ismail called on the committee to continue reviewing more cases to speed up the process.
Ismail added that the committee's work is in line with the 2014 constitution, which guarantees the right to freedom of religious practice for Moslems, Christians and Jews.
What, all fifty or so Jews remaining, mostly elderly females? Golly.
[National Review] North Korea and South Korea are reportedly preparing to announce an official end to their 68-year war.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and South Korean president Moon Jae-in will meet next week to discuss an end to the war, the newspaper Munhwa Ilbo said, citing an unidentified South Korean official.
The two countries have technically been at war for 68 years since the Korean War began in June 1950. The three-year conflict ended with an armistice instead of a peace treaty in 1953, and smaller conflicts have flared from time to time since.

My personal hypothesis is that Pudgy’s time spent in the West prior to assuming power predisposed him to seeking a peaceful reconciliation with the South and the rest of the world.
So long has he is able to guarantee his own safety and personal standing as the “Dear Leader”, he can now be hailed as a savior to his people by bringing them into the 21st century and with all the material trappings that come with it.

For the same reason I view KJU as an especially dangerous character. His first hand experience in the West exposed him to all the rot, self loathing, masochism and zero civilizational confidence that has been a determining factor in Western politics and culture since the end of the Soviet Union.
For his father and grandfather the West would have always been an alien, inscrutable and and somewaht scary entity. Not for KJU.
IMO he's especially dangerous like a wolf dog hybrid.
[The Hill] CIA Director Mike Pompeo flew to North Korea earlier this year and met with the nation’s leader Kim Jong Un, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.
The shocking, top-secret trip took place during Easter weekend ahead of a possible summit between President Trump and Kim later this year to discuss Pyongyang's nuclear program.
The CIA, White House and North Korean government all refused to comment to the Post, which confirmed the meeting with two sources with direct knowledge of it.
Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. had direct talks with North Korea at "very high levels" but did not provide more details.
"We have had direct talks at very high levels, extremely high levels, with North Korea," the president said. "I really believe there’s a lot of goodwill. We’ll see what happens, as I always say. Because ultimately it’s the end result that counts."
He added that the meeting with Kim could take place "probably in early June or before that," but cautioned it is hardly guaranteed, based on Kim’s actions.

I still fail to see the rationale for the Trump administration's approach.
The best outcome is North Korea signing a nuclear disarmament agreement.
North Korea will cash in on sanctions relief and danegeld aid. And the realistic assumption is that North Korea will cheat.
It didn't work in 1994, and it won't work now that the US is strategically weaker and North Korea & puppet masters allies are strategically stronger and bolder.
Wouldn't it be better to just let the sanctions work?
Over the last decade, China has significantly increased its global investments, particularly in international and maritime infrastructure. Chinese firms have pledged billions of dollars to develop maritime ports and related projects across the Indo-Pacific Region since China announced its strategy to increase global trade connectivity through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The BRI, China’s guiding foreign policy doctrine and one of the most ambitious economic initiatives in modern history, is portrayed by Chinese leaders as creating win-win economic development for all nations. Yet, some states question whether China’s infrastructure investments are driven by strategic interests.

[Hot Air] On the eve of Tax Day Kroger, the largest grocery store chain in the world, announced that thanks to the GOP tax reform bill, the corporation will expand tuition reimbursements to employees by five times the current amount. The decision includes part-time workers.
Both full and part-time employees who have worked for Kroger six months will now be eligible for up to $3,500 in tuition reimbursement each year. The company will invest up to $21,000 in each employee’s education over multiple years whether it’s a GED, college or advanced courses or professional certification.
Future historians will look back on the early 21st century and tag the development of the Twitter platform as the final nail in the coffin of civilized speech.

[PrisonPlanet] Last week, Peter John Dalglish, United Nations adviser and founder of the Street Kids International charity, was arrested on suspicion of pedophilia, at a home that he was staying at in Nepal. During the arrest, two young children, ages 12 and 14, were "rescued" from the home. Why am I not surprised?
[Townhall] The Pennsylvania House passed a bill Monday banning abortions on babies who’ve been diagnosed with Down syndrome.
"The future has never been brighter for babies born with Down syndrome," said state Rep. Judy Ward, one of the lead sponsors of the bill. "We’ve learned too much to accept that Down syndrome citizens should be considered anything less than full members of the community. They deserve respect and the protection of our laws."
Even if the bill, which passed with bipartisan support 139-56, also passes the Republican-controlled Senate, it will unlikely become law, as Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf has expressed his opposition to the legislation.
A spokeswoman for Wolf said the bill is "another example of Harrisburg Republicans exploiting vulnerable families and trying to undermine the doctor-patient relationship to score political points."
"Pennsylvania Republicans are trying once again to criminalize a health care decision that Gov. Wolf has been clear should be made by a woman and her doctor, not politicians in Harrisburg," said Wolf’s deputy press secretary Sara Goulet.

It is stupid to force a woman to have a kid she does not want. Posted by: Bernardz
Some outcomes are unavoidable and attributable only to nature. Once they have arrived, most people don't 'want' to one day depart this old ball we call earth. 'Wants' or not, life's end, similar to life's beginning, appears to be baked into the process.

It is stupid to force a woman to have a kid she does not want.
It is wrong to force a woman to conceive a kid she does not want, but once conceived, it is wrong to kill the kid because she does not want it. It comes down to when is the kid its own person and when is it just a tissue mass of the mothers: conception? detectable heartbeat? viability? birth? independence?

I suspect most women know how children are conceived. If you don't want one, there are some pretty obvious ways to avoid having one.

Before birth Evacuation Day, well, a smart aleck might ask, "Kid? What kid?" And if Mom, afterward, can't even, well, isn't that why God made firehouses? Seems like it might be easier these days to legally be shed of a baby than an old can of paint or a lightbulb.

[Hot Air] Ed wrote yesterday about the situation at a Philadelphia Starbucks where two black men were arrested after a manager called the police when they refused to either place an order or leave the store.
Starbucks’ CEO offered an apology and met with the two men but that’s not going to be enough to satisfy those who believe this was a case of racial profiling. There have been protests at the store claiming "Starbucks coffee is anti-black" and demands that the manager who called the police and the officers who arrested the men should be fired. Today, Starbucks tried to head off some of the criticism by announcing it would close 8,000 company-owned stores next month to give employees racial bias training: No, of course not. It will never "be enough."

The guys came in, sat down, and never ordered anything. When questioned, they said they were waiting for someone (or a meeting, or whatever).
After they'd been there a while without ordering, (I haven't seen how long, but assuming longer than 10-15 minutes) they were asked to leave.
They didn't.
