[Breitbart] A 22-year-old New York City man has been arrested 57 times this year, including a stabbing, while 46 of the arrests stem from retail thefts.
Isaac Rodriguez enjoys robbing one store in particular more than any other: Walgreens. He has shoplifted from Walgreens 37 times and holds an affinity for the store in Jackson Heights, which he has lifted 23 times, the New York Post has reported.
“This guy comes here every day stealing, every single day. He comes, and he steals,” the manager of Walgreens at Jackson Heights detailed, the Post reported. “We call 911 and make a report, and that’s it. Our company policy is if anyone comes, because of a safety issue, we cannot stop him. We cannot do anything.”
The manager says Rodriguez has been shoplifting from the store for “at least a year, at least every single day. … Whenever he goes to jail he stops. Sometimes he comes three, four times [a day] to get all of a [certain] merchandise,” according to the Post.
In addition to his 37 shoplifts at Walgreens, Rodriguez has also stolen from Victoria’s Secret four times, Rite Aid three times, Target three times, CVS twice, and Family Dollar and Macy’s once, police told the New York Post.

Stealing all of a specific product suggests he's part of an organized retail theft ring. If the police would roll use him to get the rest of the organization, they'd likely find ties to a cartel or a terrorist organization.

When I saw 'BLM activist and transvestite model' I thought for a second they might have been talking about two different people. Nope - they gotta combine them with a fugly face 1st graders can use to play 'connect the freckle dots' for days on end.

A woman runs this operation and you can see the results. Time magazine would deliberately have controversial figures posted on cover to dive circulation. I understand their market shares have been pissed away. Actually people don't read medias these days. People are avoiding most media as well.

The surprise is that Playboy is still published.
Probably no long profit driven, but social status driven.
Whoever came up with this will get at least three high profile cocktail party invites. That's Big Time connections baby, maybe even a post in DC as a Military Diversity Advocate/Watchdog.

Question: Could this be related to the Massive backup of ships at California ports waiting to unload?
MSM reports now are indicating ...
Officials investigating the oil spill are looking into whether a ship’s anchor may have struck a pipeline on the ocean floor, causing the Oil Pipeline leak.....

How old is the pipeline and how many years ago should it have been replaced but for opposition of CA lawmakers and environmentalists? Hope they are satisfied denying the law of unintended consequences.

Those who pay will get whatever services they require. They have their own private doctor. House calls and much better being in home environment. The medial people seem to really enjoy this approach. Less hours, good income and the ability to enjoy their work and life.
[SeattleTimes] The average temperature at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station between April and September, a frigid minus-78 degrees (minus-61 Celsius), was the coldest on record, dating back to 1957. This was 4.5 degrees lower than the most recent 30-year average.
We first learned of this record through a tweet from Stefano Di Battista, who has published research on Antarctic temperatures. The legitimacy of Di Battista's information was confirmed by Richard Cullather, a research scientist at NASA's Global Modeling and Assimilation Office.
The temperature averaged over September was also the coldest on record at South Pole, wrote David Bromwich, a polar researcher at Ohio State University, in an email.

Where is the Climate Change, Al Gore, Hollywood, the Artistic Child and media on this Breaking News?
"RECORD COLD & POPLAR ICE CAPS NOT MELTING"
Once again a lot people made $$$$$$ predicting climate related BS and we now have more Federal Regs, laws passed and Taxpayer $$B funneled into pockets based on those LIES.
BTW: Anyone working McMurdo Station in the last 30 years could have told us this also.
[AP] Three Vatican Swiss Guards who have refused to be vaccinated against COVID-19 upon Holy See orders have voluntarily left the storied corps to return to Switzerland, a Swiss Guard official said Sunday.
Lt. Urs Breitenmoser told The Associated Press that all Swiss Guards had been asked to be vaccinated "to protect their health and that of the others they come into contact with as part of their service."
"Three members of the Guard have chosen not to adhere to that request, voluntarily leaving the corps,″ Breitenmoser said in a statement.
Three other guardsmen are temporarily suspended from duty while they await vaccination, he said.
The prime duty of the all-male corps, with its colorful uniforms and plumed helmets, is to protect the pontiff. The members stand guard during papal ceremonies as well as at the various entrances of the tiny, independent walled city state near Rome’s Tiber River. During the pandemic, the guardsmen on duty don protective surgical masks.
Pope Francis, who has been vaccinated against COVID-19, has repeatedly stressed the altruistic and health value of receiving the shots during the pandemic.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Dodge Charger muscle car was filmed spinning donuts around a cop car outside Downtown Philadelphia's famous city hall Saturday night.
The shameless act of hooliganism was snapped by an onlooker from the window of a nearby tall building just before midnight, with the car screeching around the Ford police cruiser multiple times as passengers sat on the vehicle's open windows.
'No f****** way,' onlookers could be heard yelling as the car drives by. 'Oh sh**, oh sh**.' Another onlooker was filmed clambering onto the cop car's bonnet moments later.
Despite the dangerous behavior, Philly PD did not make any arrests.
Shortly before they arrived, the same group were filmed spinning donuts on the wide intersection outside Philadelphia City Hall as their cronies blocked traffic,
Some set off fireworks as the cars passed by, but miraculously did not hit any onlookers.
'We really lawless as sh**,' one onlooker titled their video.
Cops were eventually able to move the racers on and restore the normal flow of traffic.
Philadelphians could later be seen dancing on top of the cop cars before the police were able to break up the crowd.
NBC Philadelphia reports that police are now investigating the incident.

IA REGNUM was informed about this on October 4 in the press service of the Western Military District.
In response to questions posed in this regard, the district press service offered to send an official request from the editorial board, which will be done by the agency.

Purchases of PCR tests in China’s Hubei Province surged months before the first official reports of a novel coronavirus case there, according to a report from researchers in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia.
About 67.4 million yuan ($10.5 million at current rates) was spent on PCR tests in Hubei during 2019, nearly double the 2018 total, with the upswing starting in May.
The report, released by a research team that includes former intelligence officers, is based on records from a website aggregating information on bids for public sector procurement contracts.
The report casts further doubt on China’s official line about the origins of the virus. The report alleges the unusual uptick likely signals awareness of a new disease spreading in and around Wuhan.
Orders doubled from universities, jumped fivefold from the Chinese CDC and surged tenfold from animal testing bureaus. Monthly procurement data shows a spike in orders in May, especially from CDC buyers and the People’s Liberation Army.
"We believe the increased spending in May suggests this as the earliest start date for possible infection," the report said.
Purchases rose sharply from July through October as well, in particular from the Wuhan University of Science and Technology. The institution spent 8.92 million yuan on PCR tests in 2019, about eight times its total for the previous year.
The university, along with local hospitals and public health authorities, plays a direct role in responding to outbreaks of new diseases, according to the report.
The involvement of these groups provides evidence that "the increase of purchasing was most likely linked to the emergence of COVID-19 in Hubei Province in 2019," the report said. "We assess with high confidence that the pandemic began much earlier than China informed the W.H.O. about COVID-19."
[AlAhram] Taiwan urged Beijing to stop "irresponsible provocative actions" after 56 Chinese warplanes crossed into its air defence zone on Monday in yet another record incursion.
The defence ministry said it scrambled aircraft to broadcast warnings after 36 fighter jets, 12 H-6 nuclear-capable bombers and four other planes entered its southwest air defence identification zone (ADIZ).
Four more fighters entered the zone in a night sortie, bringing the total to 56 planes, the ministry added.
The Mainland Affairs Council (MAC), Taiwan's top China policy-making body, accused Beijing of "seriously damaging the status quo of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait" with its recent string of incursions.
"We demand the Beijing authorities immediately stop its non-peaceful and irresponsible provocative actions," MAC front man Chiu Chui-cheng said in a statement.
"China is the culprit for causing tensions between the two sides of the (Taiwan) Strait and it has further threatened regional security and order," he added, saying Taiwan "will never compromise and yield" to threats.
The ADIZ is not the same as Taiwan's territorial airspace but includes a far greater area that overlaps with part of China's own air defence identification zone and even includes some of the mainland.
Self-ruled democratic Taiwan lives under the constant threat of invasion by China, which views the island as its territory and has vowed to one day seize it, by force if necessary.
In the last two years, Beijing has begun sending large sorties into Taiwan's defence zone to signal dissatisfaction at key moments -- and to keep Taipei's ageing fighter fleet regularly stressed.
Nearly 150 Chinese warplanes had breached Taiwan's ADIZ since Friday when Beijing marked its National Day with its then-biggest aerial show of force, buzzing the island with 38 planes.
That was followed by another incursion by 39 planes on Saturday, sparking criticism from Washington.
State Department front man Ned Price reiterated Monday that the United States was "very concerned" by the "provocative" moves by Beijing.
"This activity is destabilising, it risks miscalculation and it undermines regional peace and security," Price told news hounds.
"We strongly urge Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic and economic pressure and coercion against Taiwan," he said, calling US commitment to the island "rock-solid".
RAMPING UP PRESSURE
China's foreign ministry on Monday accused Washington of sending out "an extremely wrong and irresponsible signal" with "provocative" actions such as selling arms to Taipei and sending its warships to the Taiwan Strait.
"The US should correct its mistakes, earnestly abide by the 'one China Principle'... prudently and appropriately handle the Taiwan issue, stop bolstering 'Taiwanese independence' separatist forces," said spokeswoman Hua Chunying.
Beijing has ramped up pressure on Taiwan since the 2016 election of President Tsai Ing-wen, who rejects its stance that Taiwan is part of "one China".
Under President Xi Jinping, Chinese warplanes are crossing into Taiwan's ADIZ at an unprecedented rate.
Last year, a record 380 Chinese military jets made incursions into Taiwan's defence zone, and the number this year as of early October has already exceeded 600.
Last week, 24 Chinese warplanes flew into the zone after Taiwan applied to join a major trans-Pacific trade pact, a move Beijing has opposed.
Friday's show of force came the same week China accused Britannia of "evil attentions" after it sent a frigate to sail through the Taiwan Strait, which Beijing claims as its own waterway.
Xi has described Taiwan becoming part of the mainland as "inevitable".
US military officials have begun to talk openly about fears that China could consider the previously unthinkable and invade.
Monday's incursion "was a way for Beijing to tell Washington that it will not submit to US warnings, that it, not Washington, sets the rules in this part of the world," said J. Michael Cole, a Taipei-based analyst at the University of Nottingham's Taiwan Studies Programme.

Meanwhile in homeland China we have major problems. The whole eastern area of China power outages. Factories cut back days of operation. In one factory they work two days a week. Days without power in many cities or about all. Massive flooding. Crops lost. Constructions crumbling dams, roads, and any buildings. Using bamboo as rebar. Glass bottles as filler to reduce amount of concrete used. Artificial rebar 1" you can bend like a rope. Then adulteration of foods to something other than what you would expect. They use everything and eat anything. China has grown very fast but they are now and for years to come in distress. OH, 30 days supply of coal that is poor quality and costs too much to use as currently they loose money on every kilowatt generated. The banking system can go down anytime. This will ripple worldwide. So naturally they want a distraction from their many failures.

...This is similar to what we did during the run up to DESERT STORM - we'd fly huge formations towards the Iraqi border daily then turn around at the last second, and we did it every day for literal months. (We were also futzing with their radars for hours a day at random intervals - something we haven't seen yet from the PRC.) The Iraqi radar operators got used to seeing planes flying around and it eventually just became part of the background noise.

[MSN] Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, three of the most-popular websites and apps in the world, were knocked offline Monday in a major internet outage.
The outage occurred around 12 p.m. EST. The three products are all owned and operated by Facebook. Several other products that are owned and operated by Facebook were also affected.
According to The Verge, the issue appears to be a DNS (server) problem.
"We’re aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible, and we apologize for any inconvenience," Facebook communications exec Andy Stone said on Twitter.
From NN2N1, with Fred’s comments:
DNS.... ETC......
ENGINEERS CAN'T EVEN BADGE IN, TO GET IN TO FIX IT.....
Hmm. We're having trouble finding that site. We guessed that.
We cannot connect to the server at www.facebook.com. It's back up and running now.
If that address is correct, here are three other things you can try:
Try again later.
Check your network connection.
If you are connected but behind a firewall, check that Firefox has permission to access the Web.

[WashingtonTimes] ... unusually high prices for natural gas are pushing some electricity producers in Asia to switch from natural gas to oil-based products, helping support prices.
The price of a barrel of crude jumped by 3%, or $2.32, to $78.17 on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the highest since 2014. The Brent international benchmark hit a new 3-year high at $81.48, up 2.8% on the day.

[Right Scoop] The Supreme Court today put the kibosh on an effort by voters in the District of Columbia to elect Congress members:
CNN — The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a long shot bid from registered voters in the District of Columbia who sought the ability to elect representatives to Congress.
The group of voters said their inability to vote for members of Congress violated their rights to equal protection and due process and pointed to the fact that Congress extended voting rights to overseas residents but not to similarly situated residents of DC.
"Residents of the District of Columbia are the only adult American citizens subject to federal income taxes who lack voting representation in Congress, except for felons in some States," lawyers for the residents wrote in legal papers.
A lower court ruled against the voters, holding that they do not live in a "state."
The court rejected the appeal without comment.
While the Supreme Court’s rejection allows the lower court ruling to stand, the overall effort is by no means over. Fascist Democrats are continually trying to push for statehood so they can elect more Democrats to Congress so they can destroy this country.
Even so, I’m very glad the Supreme Court didn’t even entertain this unconstitutional madness.

Virginia took back Arlington from DC in the late 1800s. Maryland should take back much of the remains of DC, leaving only the federal triangle - the Mall, the White House, etc. as the district.

Only fly in that ointment is that Maryland doesn't want the place. I adds nothing, and it adds to the crime rate. Prince George's county is presently and extension of the district. Absorbing the District would make it an extension of Prince George's County. Yuck.

at the time it was established DC was at the center of the 13 colonies/states. Now somewhere near Topeka, KS is.
Heh. If they were throwing fits about Kansas City, they would love Topeka.
How about the confluence of the Platte and Missouri rivers? Nah, Platte City looks like a nice place. Can we make Death Valley work?

[Right Scoop] Project Veritas has just released their latest and greatest regarding the COVID vaccines, with this one focusing on Pfizer scientists admitting that natural antibodies are likely much better than the vaccine.
One of them also admits that if you have natural immunity, then you don’t need the vaccine unless your immunity begins to wane. And he also explains why people are getting sick with Delta after being vaccinated.
These scientists signed NDAs and will probably get into quite a bit of trouble over this release:
Stacking with The Walking Unvaxxed’s post for ease of reading and commenting:
[CitizenFreePress] Covid-19 vaccine exposed, Part 4
Pfizer scientist Nick Karl — "Your antibodies are better than the Pfizer vaccination. I work for an evil corporation. Our organization is run on Covid money now." Talk to your friends, medical workers, who have contracted c-19. They know the truth.
Is there any surprise money is driving the "pandemic"?
The original Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were reported to be effective for 5-6 months with early adopters vaccinated around New Year. With Israel on it's 3rd booster, it seems like the interval for booster effectiveness is shrinking with each shot.

Was following what was written. My mistake if Israel is on the it's first booster, not third.
Really?
With Israel on it's 3rd booster, it seems like the interval for booster effectiveness is shrinking with each shot.
Maybe, in the future, you should take every statement made by antivaxxers with a grain of salt? Just check if the author is vaccinated to put you in a proper frame of mind.

[ConservativeTreehouse] The California study finds that vaccinated individuals are more susceptible to COVID variant infections than unvaccinated.

Veritas Journalist: “So, I am well-protected [with antibodies]?”
Chris Croce, Pfizer Senior Associate Scientist: “Yeah.”
Veritas Journalist: “Like as much as the vaccine?”
Croce: “Probably more.”
Veritas Journalist: “How so? Like, how much more?”
Croce: “You're protected most likely for longer since there was a natural response.”
Croce expressed dismay with his company’s direction and moral compass:
Veritas Journalist: “So, what happened to the monoclonal antibody treatments?”
Croce: “[It got] pushed to the side.”
Veritas Journalist: “Why?”
Croce: “Money. It's disgusting.”
Croce: “I still feel like I work for an evil corporation because it comes down to profits in the end. I mean, I'm there to help people, not to make millions and millions of dollars. So, I mean, that's the moral dilemma.”
Veritas Journalist: “Isn’t it billions and billions?”
Croce: “I’m trying to be nice.”
Veritas Journalist: “No, I hear you. I hear you. I do. I mean, I’ll still give you a hard time about it.”
