[MIAMI.CBSLOCAL] A 60-Year-old Miami man said he was forced to shoot and kill a gunman who had broken in to his van early Monday morning in an attempt to rob him of his jewelry.
"The guy I killed last night, he put an AK-47 to my damn face," said Donovan Stewart.
Stewart told CBS4’S Peter D’Oench that he had to act quickly because he was worried about the safety of his 11-year-old son and girlfriend who were in the van with him.
"I am from Kingstontown in Jamaica," he said, "and I am not going to go out like a punk. So I emptied my Glock in his chest. This man tried to get in my van while I was sleeping and he was surprised to see what I did."
He demonstrated what he did for CBS4.
"Well, he opened the door like this and pointed his AK-47 and I reached around like this and got my gun. That is how I did this to him," he said.
"So I thought you are you going to kill me so now I have to act quickly because I am trained," he said. "You know I have a security license, I have a G license and I have a state firearms license and a concealed weapons permit and I have a gun and I am a member of the NRA."
"I am going to defend my life and those I love," he said. "My family is innocent and just don’t put an AK-47 in my face. I will not allow that to happen. This guy also hijacked a woman in a van and was found with her car key. He robbed another woman at gunpoint."
"You want to come looking for trouble," he said. "Come to me. Come to me. I wouldn’t do anything like this to anybody and they picked the wrong person in this case.

CBS4's Mr D'Oench was taken straight to hospital after. They got the four bullets out. 'A damn tough reporter', the doc said.

Too bad for the robber that this didn't happen in New York or California. The shooter would have been charged with murder, gun crimes, and daring to defend himself.
If he had actually been able to get a permit in the first place.

[SOFmag] As you all know, yesterday, I asked Secretary of the Navy Spencer for his resignation, and I received it.
The reason behind this request was simple. There are some basic rules that I was taught to live by during my time in the military. Many in the civilian world also abide by these same rules. When followed, these rules help make for more effective, cohesive and trusting teams. These rules are very straight forward and fairly well-known.
First, we have a chain of command that should be followed and that chain of command must be kept informed.
Second, once we agree on a position we stick to it and support it both in private and public.
Third, if you don’t like that position then simply resign, otherwise implement it as if you would implement any other order.
Fourth, we don’t discuss sensitive internal deliberations.
And, fifth, we are responsible for our organizations and whatever they say and do or don’t say and don’t do.
[MIL.com] Army personnel from Fort Hood were called in to Commerce to dispose of a live mortar round that was innocuously taken in to the B6UP Pawn & Gun store for appraisal Monday.
Commerce Director of Public Safety Chris Basham said Monday that a patron brought the mortar round into the store earlier in the day without knowing what it was. He said that a bomb squad was called in to examine the device which was determined to be live.
Bassham said that a call was then made to the Army to properly dispose of the ordinance. At around 10:15 p.m., Army personnel left the scene to detonate the bomb, with the device being taken to city-owned property on Ross Street near the former Commerce Fire substation.
The mortar was safely detonated inside of a containment device shortly after 11 p.m. Reports came in that the loud boom could be heard as far away as Campbell.
DENVER (AP) ‐ The Latest on the wintry weather in the U.S. (all times local):
9:20 p.m.
Stormy weather and a power outage have affected two Northern California airports as a storm hits the region.
KPIX-TV says the Federal Aviation Administration imposed a ground delay at San Francisco International Airport Tuesday because of the weather, cutting the number of arrivals in half.
The airport reported several hundred delayed flights and about two dozen cancellations.
Oakland International Airport lost power for about 90 minutes Tuesday evening, shutting down its security checks and causing some flight delays and a couple of diversions.
It’s unclear what caused the outage but it came as thousands of people in Oakland and further south lost power during the storm.

It is an unusual storm. Very low central pressure (set record for CA), significant intensification in the 12 hours before it made landfall, large windfield and the movement of the storm is also unusual as the surface system is moving ESE whereas most west coast storms move NE

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] At least 21 people were killed when the most powerful earthquake to strike Albania in decades shook the capital Tirana and the country’s west and north on Tuesday, tearing down buildings and burying residents under rubble.
Residents, some carrying babies, fled apartment buildings in Tirana and the western port of Durres after the 6.4 magnitude quake struck shortly before 4 a.m. (0300 GMT).
The Balkan country was jolted by 100 aftershocks after the main tremor, two of them of magnitude 5, testing strained nerves.
In the northern town of Thumane, Marjana Gjoka, 48, was sleeping in her apartment on the fourth floor of a five-storey building when the quake shattered the top of the building.
“The roof collapsed on our head and I don’t know how we escaped. God helped us,” said Gjoka, whose three-year-old niece was among four people in the apartment when the quake struck.
The quake was centered 30 km (19 miles) west of Tirana, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said, and was also felt across the Balkans and in the southern Italian region of Puglia.

Durres: Founded on the coast of the Illyrian Taulantii[1] by Greek colonists from Corinth and Corfu under the name of Epidamnos (Greek: Επίδαμνος) around the 7th century BC, the city essentially developed to become significant as it became an integral part of the Roman Empire and its successor the Byzantine Empire. The Via Egnatia, the continuation of the Via Appia, started in the city and led across the interior of the Balkan Peninsula to Constantinople in the east. In the Middle Ages, it was contested between Bulgarian, Venetian and Ottoman dominions.
[American Affairs] America’s emergence in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries represented a dramatic break from the past. The United States came on the scene with only vestiges of the old European feudal order—mostly in the plantation economy of the Deep South. There was no hereditary nobility, no national church, and, thanks to George Washington’s modesty, no royal authority. At least among whites, there was also far less poverty in America, compared to Europe’s intense, intractable, multigenerational poverty. In contrast, as Jefferson noted in 1814, America had fewer “paupers,” and the bulk of the population was “fed abundantly, clothed above mere decency, to labor moderately and raise their families.”
Yet in recent decades this country, along with many other liberal democracies, has begun to show signs of growing feudalization. This trend has been most pronounced in the economy, where income growth has skewed dramatically towards the ultrarich, creating a ruling financial and now tech oligarchy. This is a global phenomenon: starting in the 1970s, upward mobility for middle and working classes across all advanced economies began to stall, while the prospects for the upper classes rose dramatically.
The fading prospects for the new generation are all too obvious. Once upon a time, when the boomers entered adulthood, they entered an ascendant middle class. According to a recent study by the St. Louis Fed, their successors, the millennials, are in danger of becoming a “lost generation” in terms of wealth accumulation.
This generational shift will shape our future economic, political, and social order. About 90 percent of those born in 1940 grew up to experience higher incomes than their parents, according to researchers at the Equality of Opportunity Project. This proportion was only 50 percent among those born in the 1980s, and the chances of middle-class earners moving up to the top rungs of the earnings ladder has declined by approximately 20 percent since the early 1980s. Corporate CEOs used to boast of starting out in the mailroom. There will not be many of those stories in the future.

Closely run thing. If the antifa types are knocked out early, the "where's muh check" crowd will not pick up the slack, beyond unorganized rioting and looting. Choke off the Acela corridor WRT food and medicine and it's pretty much over.

I think Kotkin's main point is that there have been deep structural changes to our economy and our culture that make it very unlikely that middle-class democracy will survive in this country.
We have to change the structure of our economy: at a minimum this means we must
- rein in the oligarchs and enforce the competition and labor laws;
- end the grifting from the Obanas Bidens Clintons Gore and all the other shitty pols-on-the-make;
- stop shipping manufacturing and other jobs to China and stop importing helots from Mex/Cent.America, and
- provide well-paying trades and related vocational education for the 80% of our young people who can't hack advanced college work and should not be in 4-year college programs.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Pilot error and possible crew disorientation during bad weather at night led to the fatal 2016 crash of a Flydubai passenger jet in Russia, Russia’s Interstate Aviation Committee said in a report issued on Tuesday.
The Boeing 737-800 from Dubai, operated by the Dubai-based budget carrier Flydubai, came down in the early hours of March 19, 2016 at Rostov-on-Don airport in southern Russia after aborting a second landing attempt in high winds.
All 62 people on board died.
"The fatal air accident...occurred during the second go-around, due to an incorrect aircraft configuration and crew piloting (and) the subsequent loss of the (commanding pilot’s) situational awareness at night-time," the report said.
It said bad weather including treacherous gusts known as wind shear were also factors.
"This resulted in a loss of control of the aircraft and its impact with the ground," it said.
The Boeing 737 was being flown by the captain at the time of the crash. Both crew were relatively experienced.
Addressing one of the most publicized concerns after the crash, the report said the pilots had had enough pre-flight rest, but that the possible "operational" tiredness of the crew as the flight progressed may have been a contributing factor.

Russian and Chinese spies repeatedly targeted the Czech state last year, the country’s intelligence service (BIS) says in a report which details cyber-attacks and disinformation.https://t.co/x2Uv4L5pUi
Upon launch confirmation, the only official line was that the mission involved a “spacecraft designed in the interests of the Russian Defense Ministry”.
Speculation points to this launch involving NPO Lavochkin’s 14F150 nr. 2, which is the same class of payload as Kosmos-2519, which was launched on the third flight of the Soyuz 2-1v/Volga.
Should Monday’s launch involve 14F150 no. 2, it may be carrying additional sub-sats along for the ride, as has been the case with previous launches.
How many details Russian officials will disseminate will first depend on a successful mission. However, following the declaration of success, no additional details were provided.
Several projects were proposed to use the stockpile of leftover engines, with two – Soyuz-2-1v and the US Antares rocket – making it to the launch pad, although Antares has since switched to RD-181 engines. Russia intends to re-engine Soyuz-2-1v with the RD-193 when the stock of refurbished NK-33s has been expended.
So this is refurbished 1960s moon rocket motor powering this rocket...
Once the second stage had consumed its propellant and shut down, Volga separated to begin its role in the mission. Developed from the propulsion module of the Soviet-era Yantar reconnaissance satellites, Volga was powered by an 17D64 engine, which burned unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine and dinitrogen tetroxide. Designed to be restarted multiple times, Volga would have made several burns during Wednesday’s mission before deploying the four payloads into their pre-planned orbits.

14F150 Napryazhenie geodetic satellites developed within the Nivelir-ZU project. The Russian word "napryazhenie" stands for voltage, while "nivelir" means level.
#9
"The satellite is a space platform on which several types of payloads can be installed. The payload [for this mission] is equipment for remote sensing of the Earth and equipment to photograph objects in space".
#10
Nivelir-ZU (RKTs Progress with NPO Lavochkin) and Nivelir-MNK-OZS (ISS Reshetnev) are the two known projects at this time although a third project via RKK Energia is hinted in documentation from time to time.

From the 2017 launch of a sister sat..
Yesterday's Ministry of Defense report also explains the seemingly conflicting missions announced for Cosmos-2519 earlier ("remote sensing" and "observing satellites"). The "mother satellite" should then be on a (military) remote sensing mission and the subsatellite on an inspection mission. The question remains then what type of reconnaissance satellite this is and whether it uses an existing bus or a new one.
[American Military News] Hundreds of women were among the young Ukrainians who left their lives and jobs and families to resist the Russian-backed forces who invaded their country’s eastern region in 2014. With little training and no combat experience, these students, economists, academics, office workers, and mothers took on a variety of military roles, first as combat medics, then as snipers and intelligence gatherers.
They endured the same harsh realities of war as their male counterparts, and a secondary insult: thanks in part to a selectively enforced Ukrainian law that bars women from combat roles, many were classified as seamstresses, cooks, or other non-combat vocations. The Ukrainian government has only recently begun to acknowledge their service and sacrifice.
In October, I sat down with five of these Ukrainians to hear about their experiences, what has changed since they went to the front lines, and what the United States can do to help them.
"I never imagined I would take arms. I don’t understand people who like to make selfies with a weapon," said Yulia Matvienko, call sign "Squirrel." She left her job as a civil economist in 2014 and became a medic. "During the first year of war, I believed [that] I, as a volunteer, could do everything possible to help the armed forces," she said through an interpreter.
Matvienko worked at a morgue just behind the front lines, where her medical unit came under rifle and artillery fire. Eventually, she decided to take up shooting. "I understood that I am not effective as, like, a volunteer. I did everything [I could] to become a sniper. I became a sniper to kill the enemy," she said. It’s a job she held for more than four years.
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Wednesday successfully injected into orbit its earth imaging and mapping satellite CARTOSAT-3 along with 13 commercial nano satellites from the United States.
With cloudy skies in the back ground, the 44.4 metre tall PSLV C47 rocket lifted off majestically at 9.28 am from the second launch pad at this spaceport here.
CARTOSAT-3, India's most complex and advanced earth imaging satellite built so far, was placed into orbit 17 minutes and 46 seconds after lift-off, the immediate mission after Chandrayaan 2, where the lander crashed while making a soft descent on the lunar surface on September 7.
All the 13 nano satellites from the US were released into the orbit at 26 minutes and 56 seconds after liftoff, ISRO said.
ISRO Chairman K Sivan and other scientists broke into cheers as the earth imaging and mapping satellite was injected precisely into the desired orbit.
Later, speaking from the Mission Control Centre, Sivan said, "I am extremely happy to declare that PSLV-C47 precisely injected CARTOSAT-3 and 13 customer satellites successfully in the desired orbit of 509 kms."
"CARTOSAT-3 is India's highest resolution civilian satellite, and the most complex and advanced earth obvservation satellite ISRO has built so far," he said.
He congratulated the teams behind both the satellite as well as the launch vehicle, besides various review teams and industry partners involved in the mission.
On future missions, the ISRO chief said, "Our hands are full," with 13 missions slated upto March 2020.
"They combine some six launch vehicle missions and seven satellite missions," he said.
Team ISRO will rise to the occassion and meet challenges and make every mission a grand success, a beaming Sivan said as relief was writ large on his face since the earlier mission Chandrayaan-2 did not yield the desired results.
With an overall mass of 1,625 kg, CARTOSAT-3 would address increased user's demands for large scale urban planning, rural resource and infrastructure development, coastal land use and land cover.
It will also serve military purposes.
PSLV-C47 is the 21st flight of PSLV in 'XL' configuration (with 6 solid strap-on motors).
The 13 commercial nano-satellites from the US are being carried as part of commercial arrangement with NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) of the Department of Space.
Among the 13 commercial nano satellites are FLOCK-4P, 12 in numbers, with mission objective of earth observation, and one satellite named MESHBED, whose objective is communication test bed.
ISRO has said this would be the 74th launch vehicle mission from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota. The PSLV is in its 49th mission while PSLV-XL variant on its 21st mission.
CASRTOSAT-3 is the ninth in the Cartosat series and today's launch is the fifth for ISRO in 2019.

The team at Alén Space has been developing nanosatellites since 2007 under CubeSat standards, the result of a joint development project between California State Polytechnic University (Cal Poly) and Stanford University that got underway in 1999. The original aim of the CubeSat project was to ensure affordable access to space for university researchers. The program was extended to include scientific and educational institutions world-wide as well as public initiatives in many countries and eventually also to private enterprise.
[DAWN] Pakistain and the World Bank on Tuesday signed five loan agreements of $787 million for development projects, majority of them for Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... uplift.
The agreements were signed by Economic Affairs Division secretary Noor Ahmed, World Bank’s country director in Islamabad Patchamuthu Illangovan and the representatives of governments of Sindh and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and the National Transmission and Dispatch Company Ltd. Minister for Economic Affairs Hammad Azhar witnessed the signing ceremony.
The World Bank will provide $652m for three development projects in Karachi to support urban mobility, urban management and service delivery, improve water and sewerage services, tourism and power sectors.
The first loan of $382m was inked for Karachi Mobility (Yellow Line) Project that is expected to improve mobility, accessibility and safety along the yellow line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor in Karachi. The project will help to develop urban road infrastructure (Yellow Corridor), rehabilitation or reconstruction of road infrastructure along the yellow corridor, development and operationalisation of a BRT system and capacity building.
The Yellow BRT corridor was recently approved by the federal government with revised cost estimates of Rs61.436 billion. The Sindh government had proposed the Karachi Urban Mobility Project (Yellow Line Bus Rapid Transit) worth Rs65.968bn but the federal government had rationalised its cost estimates down to Rs61.4bn.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Pope Francis ...Argentine liberation theologist, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He was elected pope in 2013. Rather than setting up shop in Avignon, where he belongs, the first Jesuit Pope chose to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse instead of the papal apartments. He is big on climate change, against consumerism, and in favor of throwing a blanket over homosexual activity within the clergy. He's not real sure about the Resurrection, about Christ's divinity, and a few other things that would have gotten him burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, but he's hot for a certain South American Earth Mother Goddess... announced on Tuesday he would declare the use and possession of nuclear weapons "immoral" in the Catholic Church’s official manual, after visiting the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki where atomic bombs were dropped during World War II.
The cities are the only areas to have been targeted by nuclear weapons, the 1945 attacks by the United States killing 224,000 people.
The catechism is the church’s official instruction book, which summarizes the principles of the faith.
"I have said that the use of nuclear weapons is immoral," the pontiff told news hounds during his flight back to Rome.
"This must go into the catechism of the Catholic Church, not just use but also possession," he said, adding that "a government’s madness can destroy humanity."

...The last time the Church got involved with telling people how bad nuclear weapons are was in the 80s, and a bunch of people - myself included - left the church. I see they haven't gotten any smarter.

29. We prohibit under anathema that murderous art of crossbowmen and archers, which is hateful to God, to be employed against Christians and Catholics from now on.--Second Lateran Council – 1139 A.D.
The United Nations General Assembly adopted an Israeli-led resolution on Tuesday.
Some 147 countries voted in favor. Arab League countries, who usually automatically vote against Israeli-led resolutions, decided to abstain.
The Israeli resolution, titled "Agricultural Technologies for Development," is intended to help improve access to agricultural technology capabilities for developing countries, helping fulfill the secretary-general's goal of promoting sustainable development, the Israeli Mission to the UN said in a statement.
"The resolution speaks to Israel's strong capabilities in agriculture, irrigation and water management practices [and in] youth job creation in agriculture, and is consistent with Israel's longstanding cooperation with other countries, especially in Africa," the statement reads. "The overwhelming support the resolution received indicates its importance for many nations around the world, especially developing countries."
[The Hill] A top State Department official told impeachment investigators in newly released testimony about a frantic but unsuccessful effort among senior diplomats to save the U.S. ambassador in Ukraine from a politically motivated smear campaign launched by allies of President Trump.
Philip Reeker, acting assistant secretary of European and Eurasian Affairs, testified privately last month that a "media storm" of negative but "highly inaccurate" stories targeting Marie Yovanovitch led to her recall from Kyiv in May, even as veteran State officials sought "a formal statement from the department" in her defense.
"There would be no statement," Reeker told investigators, according to a transcript of his testimony released Tuesday by Democrats leading the impeachment inquiry into Trump. "We would continue to use the press guidance that we had that had been cleared."
While his Oct. 26 testimony contained few new details surrounding the campaign to oust Yovanovitch, it supported the narrative delivered by a number of other veteran diplomats testifying in the impeachment investigation who have painted a graphic picture of efforts by Trump’s allies ‐ led by his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani ‐ to go after Yovanovitch, a career diplomat described by Reeker as "one of the foreign service great leaders."
"There was a lot of unhappiness ‐ without anything explicit, because we were speaking on open lines ‐ there was unhappiness from the White House that Ambassador Yovanovitch was still there, and the belief that she needed to come back," Reeker testified, relaying a conversation with State Department counselor Ulrich Brechbuhl in April.
Reeker testified that the public effort to target Yovanovitch began weeks earlier with a column from John Solomon, a conservative opinion writer formerly with The Hill, who had interviewed Yuriy Lutsenko, Ukraine’s top prosecutor at the time. Lutsenko told Solomon that Yovanovitch had given him a list of figures he was not to prosecute, even as U.S. policy sought to rein in corruption in a country well known for it.

"Yovanovitch used a Soros tool to illegally monitor U.S. conservatives," By M. Dowling, Oct 26, 2019.
The State Department utilized a powerful Facebook-owned social media tracking tool linked to leftist billionaire George Soros to unlawfully monitor U.S conservative figures, journalists and persons with ties to Donald Trump, according to an agency source, Judicial Watch reported.
The source — a State Department veteran — identified Crowdtangle as the tool used to closely watch more than a dozen U.S. citizens, including the president’s son, personal attorney and popular television personalities such as Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, among others, Judicial Watch reported.
Disgraceful former U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, an Obama embed, enlisted a Ukraine agency to conduct the unlawful monitoring using the search terms, Biden, Giuliani, Soros, and Yovanovitch, according to a Judicial Watch investigation.

Reduce the size of the mess by at least a factor of 10.
If somebody is released/fired from a job in the D.C. bureaucracy they can quickly get another job in a different sector of the bureaucracy. After all looking at D.C. rationally it is a COMPANY TOWN. It's just the COMPANY (no not the CIA) is the US Government.
Just like Amazon, Boeing and others are diversifying away from Company Towns - the US Government need to do the same. It's way past time to play musical chairs with the bureaucracy and move it all over the country. If some cogs get let go they can find replacement jobs with another Company just not the taxpayer's one. Let them compete in the open labor pool of useful careers!
[Breitbart] Students and faculty at Washington and Lee University in Lexington city, Virginia, are demanding that the school remove photos of George Washington and Robert E. Lee from their diplomas.
"We, the undersigned, call on the administration of Washington and Lee University and President William Dudley to provide students with the option of removing the portraits of namesakes Robert E. Lee and George Washington from their diplomas," proclaim the law students in their petition.
Washington and Lee University diplomas display portraits of both George Washington and Robert E. Lee, given that the school has been named after them.
The petition insists that its signees will be satisfied if school administrators simply give students "the option to have a diploma without portraits," rather than making the change "mandatory" for all diplomas.
"The goal of establishing this option is to create a diploma that alumni are proud to prominently display in their homes and places of work," affirms the petition, noting that the school had made changes to its diplomas in the past, "such as the transition from sheepskin diplomas to paper diplomas."
The students go on to cite "the aftermath of the 2017 Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville and the heightened awareness of making Washington & Lee an inclusive and compassionate environment to all students" as their reasons for desiring such changes.

Did you morons not know who Washington and Lee were before you signed your tuition check? Maybe you should be suing your high schools for malpractice.
