2…………> Finally Back Home: A Tuskegee Pilot

The remains of one of the Tuskegee Airmen have been identified for the first time, at the site where Captain Lawrence Dickson’s plane crashed on the Italy-Austria border during a recon mission in 1944. An American team discovered the wreckage in 2012, and excavated the site five years later, using DNA of his daughter to identify his remains. He is the first of 27 Tuskegee Airmen who are listed as missing in action to be found. The 24-year-old captain in the 100th Fighter Squadron took off in his P-51 Mustang fighter plane from a base in Italy to conduct an aerial reconnaissance mission on December 23, 1944, and crashed when the engine failed, and the aircraft was seen crashing along the Italy-Austria border.

3…………> A Hero Passes Away: President George H.W. Bush

“George H.W. Bush was a man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter could ask for. The entire Bush family is deeply grateful for 41’s life and love, for the compassion of those who cared and prayed for Dad, and for the condolences of our friends and fellow citizens,” that’s how his son, former president George W. Bush remembered his father who passed away aged 94.

President Donald Trump also issued a statement eulogizing the former president.

“Melania [Trump] and I join with a grieving Nation to mourn the loss of former President George H.W. Bush, who passed away last night. Our hearts ache with his loss, and we, with the American people, send our prayers to the entire Bush family, as we honor the life and legacy of 41.”

Family spokesman Jim McGrath confirmed his death in a brief statement but did not specify a cause.

4…………> French Revolution, Part 2: Down With Macron

“Yellowjackets will triumph about the fluorescent vests protesters wear,” a rebellious graffiti sprayed onto the Arc de Triomphe announced as 107 people were arrested protesting in a wave of anger about raising taxes in clashes with police in the Islamic Sheikdom of France.

This is the third straight weekend of violent uprising against the policies of the country’s president, Rabbinical Grand Ayatollah Emmanuel Macron, as furious citizens build barricades in the middle of streets in central Paris, lighting fires and throwing rocks at officers.

They initially began over increasing fuel tax hikes and have since expanded to include a broad range of demands related to the cost of living, with the Prime Minister saying more than 5,000 protesters were on and around the Champs-Elysees avenue, throwing large rocks and removing the barriers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, while others sang the national anthem.

1…………> Applied Global Warming: US Economic Losses

“With continued growth in emissions at historical rates, annual losses in some economic sectors are projected to reach hundreds of billions of dollars by the end of the century—more than the current gross domestic product (GDP) of many U.S. states. The full extent of climate change risks to interconnected systems, many of which span regional and national boundaries, is often greater than the sum of risks to individual sectors,” a newly released report said.

The National Climate Assessment studied looked the impact climate change would have not just on the economy but all sectors of American society and found that damage to the economy could be massive, costing the United States hundreds of billions of dollars every year by 2050 unless drastic measures are taken to reduce carbon emissions.

2…………> Health-Care Fraud: Dallas

A federal grand jury indicted two clinic workers yesterday for their roles in a scheme involving approximately $5.9 million in allegedly fraudulent Department of Labor claims for unprovided drug screening and improperly coded physical therapy and reported writing services.

Melissa Sumerour, 47, of Waco, Texas, and Latosha Morgan, 41, of Dallas, Texas were each indicted on one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud from January 2011 to March 2017, with the defendants and their co-conspirators allegedly engaged in an “upcoding” scheme to bill DOL for more expensive services than those that were actually performed, if any.

The defendants reportedly defrauded DOL of approximately $5.9 million through fraudulent worker’s compensation claims. The indictment alleges that Sumerour and Morgan worked at clinics in Temple and Fort Worth, Texas, respectively, which treated almost exclusively DOL patients and that they routinely billed for higher reimbursable services to earn bonuses based on the percentage that their clinics charged. The Fraud Section leads the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, has charged nearly 4,000 defendants who have collectively billed the Medicare program for more than $14 billion.

3…………> “Viva La Liberte”: Tear Gas & Water Cannons In Paris

“We know there are ultra-right and ultra-left infiltrators. You can also expect gangs from the suburbs and ‘black-blocks,'” said Denis Jacob, secretary-general of police union Alternative Police.

He was referring to a militant protest force of almost 30,000 protesters as police have fired tear gas and used water cannons to disperse violent crowds in the capital of the Islamic Sheikdom of France, Paris, who are angry over rising fuel costs and Grand Rabbinical Ayatollah President Emmanuel Macron’s economic policies.

French protesters are angry about the sharp rise in taxes on petrol and diesel, an initiative designed to move people to electric vehicles. The security forces are fighting the protests could be co-opted by fringe political extremists that lead to two people have been killed and 606 injured during the second weekend of “yellow vest” protests that have disrupted across France.

Some protesters sang the national anthem while others carried signs with slogans saying “Macron, resignation” and “Macron, thief.”

1…………> The Snake Within: US Spy

Thursday, August 23, 2018

Federal Government contractor charged for removing and transmitting classified materials to a News Outlet Reality Winner, 26, of Augusta, Georgia, was sentenced today to five years and three months in prison for removing classified national defense material from a government facility and mailing it to a news outlet.

Winner was arrested by the FBI at her home in Augusta, on June 3, 2017. The parties filed a plea agreement on June 21, in which Winner agreed to plead guilty to the one-count indictment charging her with unlawful retention and transmission of national defense information. The parties agreed that a sentence of imprisonment for 63 months followed by a three-year term of supervised release is the appropriate disposition of the case. The Court accepted the plea agreement at sentencing.

“The defendant schemed to take and disclose classified information she had sworn to protect – and then did so almost as soon as she had the chance,” said Assistant Attorney General Demers.

“Today, she has been held accountable for her crime thanks to the hard work of the Department’s prosecutors and agents. I hope their success will deter others from the similar unlawful action in the future.”

Winner was a contractor assigned to a U.S. government agency facility in Georgia. She had been employed at the facility since on or about Feb. 13, 2017, and held a TOP SECRET//Sensitive Compartmented (SCI) clearance during that time. Before that position, Winner had served in the U.S. Air Force from 2010-2016 and held a TOP SECRET//SCI security clearance. Evidence presented at the change of plea hearing established that on or about May 9, 2017, Winner printed an intelligence report that was classified at the TOP SECRET//SCI level, and she removed it from the facility where she worked. Information may be classified as TOP SECRET if its unauthorized disclosure can reasonably be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security of the United States.

2…………> Another Knife Attack: Paris

IS jihadist killed two people and seriously injured one in a knife attack in a suburb of Paris, Islamic Sheikdom of France, according to security officials. The attack occurred in the center of Trappes, 30 kilometers west of Paris, early Thursday, where police also killed the attacker, said the Yvelines governorship. According to the French media reports, Daesh claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement released by their propaganda wing Amaq. (AA)

3…………> Impeach Me, Get Poor: Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump warned that any effort to impeach him would have dire economic consequences.

“If I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash. I think everybody would be inferior,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News.

“I don’t know how you can impeach somebody who’s done a great job.” Trump was responding to speculation that Democrats would seek to impeach the president should they re-take the House of Representatives in November’s midterm elections.

The effort gained renewed energy after Trump’s longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen told a district court judge in New York that he made hush money payments to an adult film actress and a former Playboy model “at the direction” of Trump with the intent to “influence the election.”

Cohen did not name the two women, nor did he directly name Trump, but said he was working “in coordination and at the direction of a candidate for federal office.” The timeline, however, matches up with Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal who allege affairs with Trump.

4…………> A Voice From Beyond: Al Baghdadi

Islamic State claims to have released an audio message of leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the first purported speech in nearly a year from a man that intelligence communities are unsure is still alive.

The IS leader called on Middle East citizens to overthrow leaders Baghdadi’s last message was in September last year, and his whereabouts are unknown, despite multiple reports of his death.

The 55-minute audio statement entitled “Give Glad Tidings to the Patient” was released by the extremist group’s central media arm, al-Furqan Foundation, congratulating militants for recent attacks claimed by IS in Canada and Europe. The recording also offered greetings to Muslims for Eid al-Adha, a feast which is celebrated this week. The audio message was posted with a description claiming that the voice belonged to Baghdadi, who declared himself ruler of all Muslims in 2014 after capturing Iraq’s central northern city Mosul.

5…………> Mueller, Get Lost: Trump Supporters

The fact that two former Trump advisers are facing prison time may have provoked a media firestorm in the nation’s capital, but to the president’s core supporters it’s just a distraction from the excellent work he’s doing.

“This is the sort of stuff that should be in People magazine,” says James Montfort III, when I call him to ask what he makes of the legal turmoil surrounding Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen.

“It’s more important to get North Korea to give up their nuclear arms; it’s more important to make sure Mexico is playing fair on trade – than it is to worry about whether Donald Trump had consensual sex with someone years ago.”

Whether or not President Trump directed Mr. Cohen, his former personal lawyer, to pay porn star Stormy Daniels “hush money” is irrelevant to James from Virginia. He is far more interested in talking up what he says are the president’s considerable achievements in office.

“This is not going to change my loyalty or dedication to him,” he says, arguing that the national conversation should instead focus on issues such as low unemployment and a healthy economy.
