Shocking footage has surfaced of a Las Vegas cop shooting through his own windshield in a blazing gun battle and high-speed chase. It came to an end with the suspects' SUV smashing into an elementary school.

Police had been on the lookout for the stolen black SUV after a man was shot at a carwash at about 7.30am local time on July 11. He later died in hospital.

In the video, released by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police on Monday, one officer can be heard yelling "Shots fired! Shots fired!" into his radio as they start to pursue the suspects' car. In an intense, four minute chase the SUV can be seen careering into oncoming traffic.

About 100,000 pilgrims led by the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, have walked 21 kilometers in a solemn procession commemorating the 100th anniversary of the killing of the last Russian emperor Nicholas II and his family.

The procession covered the distance between the Yekaterinburg Church of All Saints, built on the place of the house where Romanovs were killed in 1918, and the Monastery in the Name of Saint Regal Martyrs which now marks the site of the Romanovs' grave, or rather the site where their killers dumped the bodies in an abandoned mine.

Patriarch Kirill walked together with the rest of the believers who came to honor the memory of the last Russian Tsar on the 100th anniversary of the killing. Overall, the procession lasted about 4 hours, TASS agency reported. In the monastery, Patriarch Kirill held a solemn mass in honor of the last Russian monarch, his wife and children killed by Bolshevik executioners on July 17, 1918.

Whoopi Goldberg stokes hysteria, calls for Homeland Security intervention because Trump met with Putin

As pundits across the US continue their descent into rage over President Donald Trump's "treasonous" meeting with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, Whoopi Goldberg has called on Homeland Security to intervene.

Speaking on 'The View' on Monday, Goldberg and her fellow presenters competed to see who could be the most enraged about Trump's behavior at the Helsinki summit with Putin.

John McCain's daughter Megan got the most words in, addressing National Security Advisor John Bolton and the Trump administration. "Are you an America first, do you not believe in genocide? Or are you going to allow the chemical gassing of children right now?"

Comment: Megan must have missed the little detail that OPCW found no traces of chemical weapons in Douma, Syria. She's apparently afflicted with the same denial of reality as her father.

Comment: People in the US have lost it! They've willingly handed over their minds and allegiance to the US intelligence community!

Former CIA Director-turned-Twitter-troll, John Brennan went way off the rails Monday, calling Trump's presser with Putin an impeachable offense.

Brennan claimed Trump's presser with Putin exceeded the threshold of "high crimes and misdemeanors" then said it was "nothing short of treasonous."

Brennan promptly got schooled by attorney Gregg Jarrett.

Russia continues dumping the dollar by liquidating its Treasury holdings to 11-year low

Russia is continuing to diversify state reserves away from US debt. The latest data from the US Treasury shows that Russia's share hit an 11-year minimum and totaled only $14.9 billion.

The share of US sovereign debt bonds in Russia's portfolio has been reduced dramatically in recent months. Russia held $96.1 billion in US Treasuries in March before selling half its holdings in April, dropping to 22nd place among major foreign holders of American treasury securities at $48.7 billion.

In 2010, Russia was among the top 10 holders of US Treasuries at $176.3 billion. With its holdings falling to $14.9 billion in May, the country is now below the $30 billion threshold for inclusion on the Treasury Department's monthly report of major holders. On Tuesday, the Treasury released a list of 33 countries which includes the biggest holder China to the smallest Chile. Russia is no longer on the list.

Number of Muslim-Americans running for office hits post-9/11 high

There has been a surge in the number of Muslim-Americans launching their bids for national and statewide offices, analysts say, crediting the Trump administration's policies with sparking the moment.

The primary season ahead of the November midterm elections is in full swing, and it has already broken some records. AP reported, citing Jetpac, a non-profit company assisting Muslim-American candidates, that 90 Muslim-Americans initially stood for statewide and nationwide offices in this year's elections. The number represents a record high, never seen after the 9/11 terrorist attacks eroded the trust of Americans in their fellow citizens of Islamic faith.

Not all of them have crossed the first threshold on the way to become elected officials. Only some 50 are still standing in their respective races after primaries. In some states, like Michigan, primaries are yet to take place and may see the number of Muslim-American candidates plummeting further. Still, 50 is a huge increase from about a dozen Muslim-Americans that ran for office in 2016, the report notes.

If they all succeed, Congress may receive up to nine new Muslim members.

Man kicked out of Trump-Putin summit accuses media of lying, says he asked question about Israel's nuclear arsenal

Security removes Sam Husseini before the Putin-Trump press conference in Helsinki

Political activist and writer Sam Husseini, who was ousted from a joint media conference by Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, accuses the media of lying about his goal at the event. He had a question about Israel's nuclear arsenal.

Husseini, a contributor to The Nation who also wrote for a number of major media outlets as well as the media watchdog Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR), was evicted from a media conference held by the two presidents on Tuesday in Helsinki.

The news agency Associated Press (AP) quoted him as saying that he had a question "on Syria's nuclear policy" and the nuclear arsenals of the United States and Russia.

Husseini says AP misquoted him and that he wanted to hear Putin's and Trump's opinion on Israel's clandestine nuclear arsenal, the existence of which the Jewish state neither acknowledges nor denies.

In further tweets Husseini called the AP story by Jari Tanner a "piece of crap" that has spread to other media outlets. He added his ousting from the event was falsely attributed by many to Russian officials, while in fact the decision was made by Finnish security. The statement even made it to his Wikipedia page.

The Syrian Democratic Forces' (SDF) plans for talks with the government come on the heels of the Helsinki summit meeting between Presidents Putin and Trump, where the two men focused extensively on the Syrian conflict and ways to resolve the country's ongoing humanitarian crisis.

The political arm of the SDF, a Kurdish-dominated militia group which controls much of northern and eastern Syria, is working to create a negotiating team for possible talks with the Assad government, key Syrian Democratic Council figure Hekmat Habib has told AFP.

"One of the meeting's aims is to create a platform to negotiate with the Syrian regime, "Habib said. "This platform will represent all areas in the autonomous administration and all areas held by the SDF," he added, without providing more details.

Members of the Syrian Democratic Council, the SDF's political arm, met in the northern Syrian town of Tabqa on Monday for discussions on a number of issues, including the possibility of negotiations with Damascus.

Comment: The Kurd problem is now back where it should be - with Damascus.

Tucker Carlson: 'Mexico interferes in US elections more successfully than Russia'

RT
Tue, 17 Jul 2018 17:27 UTC

Forget Vladimir Putin and Russian hackers - according to Fox News host Tucker Carlson Mexico interferes more successfully in American elections, by "packing" the US electorate with its citizens.

"I don't think Russia is our close friend or anything like that," Carlson said, discussing President Donald Trump's summit with Putin on Fox Monday. "Of course they try to interfere in our affairs. They have for a long time. Many countries do. Some more successfully than Russia, like Mexico, which is routinely interfering in our elections by packing our electorate."

Hispanic immigrants traditionally vote Democrat, a party seen as softer on border control and more generous to immigrants. Republicans, including several officials within the Trump administration, have repeatedly warned that illegal immigrants often vote in US elections.

Comment: Corruption is when a political party is willing to turn a blind eye, or more specifically, assist clueless immigrants and otherwise illegal voters to break laws in order to win elections.

US author writing book about grandfather, Lithuanian national hero, now campaigns for his role in collaborating with Nazis to be recognized

A US author who promised to write a book about her grandfather, a Lithuanian national hero, is now campaigning for his role in slaughtering Jews and collaborating with the Nazis to be recognized.

Jonas Noreika is honored in modern Lithuania as a hero, a resistance fighter who fought both Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia and was persecuted by each side. There is a plaque in his memory on one of the buildings in the capital Vilnius, where his name is displayed next to his nom-de-guerre - Generolas Vėtra, or General Storm.

Silvia Foti is a US fiction writer and maternal granddaughter of Noreika. On her mother's deathbed she promised her that she would finish a book about her grandfather, a patriot and a hero, as he was described in family lore. She went to Lithuania to learn more about his heroic deeds, but was shocked to discover a darker aspect to the family history.
