When did the war end? BACK FOR BAD Almost 500 terrorists freed from prison in the past decade — with many living back where they were radicalised By: Ben Griffiths, The Sun , January 18, 2020: ALMOST 500 terrorists have been released from prison in the past decade — and many live back on the same streets where they were radicalised. A Sun on Sunday probe even found one freed jihadi, a pal of London Bridge terrorist Usman Khan, is living in the city where he wanted to plant bombs. Two other convicted terrorists were allowed to move in next door to one another. More are set to be released within months. Ian Acheson , commissioned by the Government to carry out an independent review of Islamic extremism, said: “Many offenders don’t get the help they need — or the supervision and support we need — to stop them being drawn back into terrorism.” One in seven of the convicted terrorists released since 2010 had their sentences reduced or were freed via the Government’s ear...

(PALM SPRINGS DESERT SUN) Authorities have uncovered a cross-border tunnel that stretches more than three-quarters of a mile, making it the longest of its kind ever discovered along the Southwest border, the U.S. Border Patrol announced Wednesday. The 4,309-foot tunnel starts in Tijuana, in an industrial area about a half mile west of the Otay Mesa Port of Entry, according to the Border Patrol. It ends in California, in the Otay Mesa warehouse district in San Diego, where agents discovered several hundred sand bags blocking what they suspect was the former exit, the agency said. An offshoot from the main tunnel ended without breaching the surface. The tunnel is about 5 ?1/2? feet tall and 2 feet wide, and is an average of 70 feet below ground, the agency said. It includes an elevator at the entrance, an extensive rail and cart system, forced air ventilation, high-voltage electrical cables and a complex drainage system.

It's unlikely that Donald Trump's new Israeli-Palestinian peace plan will succeed. Yet, it's the best of any recent offerings because it dispels poisonous fictions that have held back negotiations for decades. The reality is that there will never be a Palestinian "right of return" to Israel, since such a policy would destroy the Jewish character of the state. Palestinians are not getting their great-granddads' houses in Jaffa back any more than the hundreds of thousands of Sephardic Jews who were expelled from Muslim lands after Israel's 1948 war of independence are reclaiming their property. The difference is that one of these groups accepted reality long ago. Nor will Palestinians ever take control of Jerusalem proper. Any Israeli politician who broaches the notion of handing over the fulcrum of Jewish cultural, religious and political identity to Fatah is engaging in an act of political suicide. Palestinians have never administered Jerusalem, and t...

A number of executive orders reportedly being mulled by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders would radically reshape the culture, values and economy of the America we know and love today, turning it into a markedly different nation virtually overnight. The presidential hopeful's potential future executive orders were reported Thursday by The Washington Post , which cited an internal Sanders campaign document and two people familiar with the campaign's planning. According to The Post, the document contains a list of possible executive orders being considered by Sanders in the event that he is elected president in November. Executive actions concerning immigration are heavily featured in the list, with at least 12 "options" aiming to reverse the course President Donald Trump has been forging since his win in 2016, The Post reported. One action reportedly being considered would increase the number of refugees accepted into America. Another would end construction of a b...

(REUTERS) Facebook Inc said on Thursday it will take down misinformation about China’s fast-spreading coronavirus in a rare departure from its approach to health content, after the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a global health emergency. The world’s biggest social network said in a blog post that it would remove content about the virus “with false claims or conspiracy theories that have been flagged by leading global health organizations and local health authorities,” saying such content would violate its ban on misinformation leading to “physical harm.” The move is unusually aggressive for Facebook, which generally limits the distribution of content containing health misinformation through restrictions on search results and advertising, but allows the original posts to stay up.

Hillary Tweets "No One Is Above the Law" Then Refuses To Accept Lawsuit Against Her Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News, In an hilarious hypocritical display, Hillary Clinton tweeted out “In America, no one is above the law,” on the same day that she used her secret service detail to turn away legal documents attempting to be served to her as part of a lawsuit. Richard Nixon once made this argument: "When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal." He was forced to resign in disgrace.

E.B. White, the author of  Charlotte’s Web  and co-author of  The Elements of Style , once wrote a story that aptly demonstrates the folly of central planning. White, a Maine farmer who wrote for  The New Yorker  and  Harper’s , saw the story turned into an animated short, which he narrated 36 years after its publication. In “The Family that Dwelt Apart” –  published  in  The New Yorker  on July 31, 1937 – White tells the story of the Pruitt family, which led an idyllic life of willful isolation in the sleepy New England cove of Barnetuck Bay. One winter, the bay froze and left the Pruitts to live off their supply of preserves, which they were more than content to do. “The winter would have passed quietly enough had not someone on the mainland remembered that the Pruitts were out there in the frozen bay,” White writes. The remainder of the tale describes how state officials, acting on an erroneous rumor, harnessed all the power and wisdom of the government to save the family fro...

Women across the West are under attack. Our enemy is not the infamous “patriarchy,” allegedly scheming to undermine us at every turn. Nor is it pregnancy, with its physical discomforts and emotional tribulations. Even children are blameless here, no matter how much their arrival can shift careers or thwart travel plans. No, the culprit is progressive feminism, a movement whose very existence depends on holding women in contempt. Modern-day feminism has succeeded in a spectacular charade, masquerading as a great champion for women while spewing antipathy for men and groaning over the burden of children. But at its core, its real hatred is for womanhood itself. According to the narrative that has dominated feminist discourse since the 1960s, women are weak until we strike out every feminine trait that distinguishes us from men. This message has been repeated with increasing volume for decades, echoing from the studios in Hollywood to the ivory towers of higher education, chanted b...

Sometimes, during years of research, unusual dots pop up, and you see connections you never suspected were there. Here is a bottom line connection.  When the poor and disenfranchised people mount a protest against some draconian action of the State or corporation, the super-rich controllers don’t register outright panic.  They believe they can manage the situation.  They can offer more aid, more welfare, more sympathy, more empty promises.  They can divert and re-channel problems.  They can form groups that essentially go nowhere.

It is remarkable to contemplate that even something as basic as the standard of proof required to convict President Trump cannot be agreed on between the House Managers and the President’s legal team. What then should be the standard of proof necessary for the House Managers to establish to convict the President of the alleged crimes for which he has been impeached: abuse of power and obstruction of justice? Should it be the criminal standard—proof beyond all reasonable doubt. or the civil standard—proof that tips the scales in favour of conviction?

TNI Staff Security, Coming soon. Key point: An operational railgun is feasible within the next five years. While the U.S. Navy had announced last year that it would take a prototype railgun to sea onboard the expeditionary fast transport USNS Trenton (JHSV-5) in 2016, the service may have to scupper those plans. If the Navy does take the railgun out to sea on a fast transport, it will be in 2017 at the earliest. In lieu of testing the prototype rail gun in an at-sea environment, the Navy might instead proceed directly to developing an operational weapon system. “It’s not definitely off but it’s not definitely going ahead,” Rear Adm. Peter Fanta, the Navy’s director of surface warfare, told Defense News during a Dec. 30 interview. “Primarily because it will slow the engineering work that I have to do to get that power transference that I need to get multiple repeatable shots that I can now install in a ship. And I would frankly rather have an operational unit faster...

Key point: Is this a good idea?  The U.S. Air Force’s nuclear command says it’s about to undergo a major reorganization as it prepares to field new bombs, missiles, bombers and rockets. Air Force Global Strike Command stood up in 2009 as the successor to Strategic Air Command, which maintained around-the-clock nuclear alerts during the Cold War. Today the command’s 34,000 personnel oversee 20 B-2 stealth bombers, 76 B-52 bombers and 450 Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles together capable of delivering thousands of nuclear warheads. It also operates 62 B-1 bombers that do not have a nuclear mission.

Most of us have our own life experiences to draw from when thinking about school, but things have changed a little (or a lot!) since we were last in a classroom. Imagine your neighbor Caroline said her son loves the magnet elementary school he switched to in August. You might be perplexed as images of magnetic items swirl through your mind… fridge magnets, safety pins, paper clips.... “Could there possibly be a school where students study magnets all day?” you wonder. Unless you remember to look up a magnet school later, you may remain unaware that magnet schools are free, public schools that orient the whole curriculum of the school around a certain “theme” like the performing arts.

Domestic violence by women toward family members has risen twice as fast as those by men in the United Kingdom. According to statistics obtained by the  Sunday Telegraph  under freedom of information legislation, female perpetrators now account for 28 percent of cases of domestic violence – compared to 19 percent a decade ago.  In a disturbing column in  The Telegraph  Celia Walden reports that in her own circle of acquaintances she finds that three out of four men have suffered some form, however mild, of abuse from women. She is not ignoring the fact that most domestic violence is by men on women and that society has turned a blind eye to this for centuries. Indeed, she writes that in the year to March 2019, 1.6 million British women experienced domestic abuse. About two women a week are being killed by a current or former partner just in England and Wales. As someone who has written about domestic violence against women before and will sadly feel the need to write about it ag...

The index ranks 180 countries and territories on perceived public sector corruption with 0 meaning "highly corrupt" and 100 meaning "very clean".
