Gutsy Trevor Noah asks Hillary how she killed Jeffrey Epstein

A "vast right-wing conspiracy" still hounds Hillary Clinton, who was jokingly asked by The Daily Show host Trevor Noah how she managed to kill pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in a Manhattan jail cell.

"I have to ask you a question that has been plaguing me for a while: How did you kill Jeffrey Epstein?" Noah asked, drawing laughter from Clinton, 71, and the New York studio audience on Thursday.

"Because you're not in power, but you have all the power. I really need to understand how you do what you do, because you seem to be behind everything nefarious, and yet you do not use it to become president," he continued.

"Honestly, what does it feel like being the boogeyman to the right?" the host asked the former presidential candidate and ex-secretary of state.

"Well, it's a constant surprise to me," responded a chuckling Clinton, who was appearing alongside her daughter, Chelsea, 39, to promote their new joint project, The Book of Gutsy Women. "Because the things they say, and now, of course, it's on steroids with being online, are so ridiculous, beyond any imagination that I could have," she said.

"And yet they are so persistent in putting forth these crazy ideas and theories. Honestly, I don't know what I ever did to get them so upset."

A car bomb detonated at a busy marketplace in the Syrian border town of Tal Abyad, the Turkish Defense Ministry said. There are dozens of casualties and injuries, Ankara claims.

The town is located right on the border and is part of a divided city, continuing into Turkey where the injured were taken to hospitals. A total of 20 people were wounded, while at least 13 were killed in the blast.

The Defense Ministry accused the Syrian-Kurdish militia group known as the People's Protection Units (YPG), of planting the bomb in the car. No group claimed responsibility for the blast at the time of writing.

Comment: Sputnik, 2/11/2019: Turkey says YPG behind the blast

The injured were taken to a hospital in the Turkish town of Akçakale. The Turkish armed forces have strengthened security on the border with Syria following the explosion. According to our correspondent, women and children are among the dead, and 23 people were injured. The explosion occurred in Suluk - a town within the Tell Abyad District of the Raqqa Governorate in Syria.

Animals are not people: Disentangling animal rights vs. animal welfare

"Animal rights" activists are determined to "break the species barrier" and create legal standing for animals to sue in court. Of course, the animals would be oblivious to these actions. "Animal standing," as the issue is known, is really a Trojan horse to allow animal rights extremists to seek court rulings enforcing their own ideology.

The Nonhuman Rights Project is leading this charge. Having failed to win personhood for chimpanzees — alarmingly, the idea gained support from one high court judge — it is now pursuing a case in New York to determine whether "Happy," an elephant at the Bronx Zoo, should be granted a writ of habeas corpus. (Ponder the surreality of those words!) From The Guardian story:

Lawyers representing an elephant have argued in a New York City court that their trunked client be considered a person, in a fresh attempt to upend human dominance over this designation.

Happy the elephant is, contrary to her sunny name, being detained by the Bronx Zoo "illegally", due to her personhood, and must be released, according to the pachyderm's self-appointed legal team.

The case's instigator, an animal rights group, hopes it will cause a legal breakthrough that will elevate the status of elephants, which the group calls "extraordinarily complex creatures" similar to humans that should have the fundamental right to liberty.

Comment: Animals do not - and cannot - have rights. Groups like PETA are trying to piggyback a radical ideology on the very real and valid concern for animal welfare. But consider what they actually want. If animals have rights - like humans - then anyone who kills an animal for food could be charged with murder. Anyone who eats meat could be charged with the equivalent of cannibalism. Pet ownership and animal husbandry would be the equivalent of slavery, and calling someone a damn dirty dog would be hate speech. Training dogs to sniff out drugs and diseases would also be questionable: did the dogs choose to be trained in such professions?

The ideology is absurd and dangerous, but as with so many other facets of the hyper-liberal agenda, speaking out against it makes you an easy target, as if by denying animal rights you are arguing in favor of torturing animals and mistreating them in various ways. Just as countering far-left talking points can leave you vulnerable to accusations of sexism, racism, transphobia, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, etc.

Jihadists kill at least 53 soldiers and 1 civilian in Mali attack

Islamic militants in Mali have killed dozens of soldiers in one of the deadliest strikes against the west African country's military in recent memory.

At least 53 soldiers and one civilian died in the attack on an isolated military base in the north-east of the country, the government said.

The authorities first reported the attack in Indelimane, in Menaka region, on Friday, but gave a lower provisional death toll.

"Heavily armed unidentified men attacked around noon. The attack started with shellfire ... Then they retreated toward Niger," the government spokesman Yaya Sangare said.

Sangare said the death toll was unclear because the bodies were still being identified, and that the army was undertaking a combing operation on the ground with support from international forces, including French troops and UN peacekeepers.

"The dispatched reinforcements found 54 bodies including one civilian, 10 survivors and considerable material damage," Sangare said on Twitter earlier on Saturday.

UK's wealthiest one-percenters preparing to leave 'within minutes' if Labour wins election

Taxi for the super-rich? Lawyers and accountants with wealthy clients report a flood in calls for advice on what to do should Labour win the election.

The super-rich are preparing to immediately leave the UK if Jeremy Corbyn becomes prime minister, fearing they will lose billions of pounds if the Labour leader does "go after" the wealthy elite with new taxes, possible capital controls and a clampdown on private schools.

Lawyers and accountants for the UK's richest families said they had been deluged with calls from millionaire and billionaire clients asking for help and advice on moving countries, shifting their fortunes offshore and making early gifts to their children to avoid the Labour leader's threat to tax all inheritances above £125,000.

The advisers said a Corbyn-led government was viewed as a far greater threat to the wealth and quality of life of the richest 1% than a hard Brexit.

Comment: Perhaps looking to Russia may provide answers. Putin has made it clear he has no problem with entrepreneurs making money, so long as it is made in and benefits Russia and its people. He put an end to capital flight by making it more painful to take money out of the country, than to invest it at home. Russia is now reaping the benefits of that policy

Academy Award-winning actress Jane Fonda has been arrested for a fourth time protesting climate change on Capitol Hill and is spending the night in jail.

It's the first time U.S. Capitol Police have kept her in custody for more than a matter of hours.

Fonda is expected to appear before the U.S. District Court Saturday morning, according to a spokesperson from her organization, Fire Drill Fridays.

Actresses Rosanna Arquette and Catherine Keener also were arrested along with dozens of other climate activists inside the Senate's Hart Building.

Fracking halted in England due to earthquakes and 'unacceptable impacts on local community'

The government has halted fracking in England with immediate effect in a watershed moment for environmentalists and community activists.

Ministers also warned shale gas companies it would not support future fracking projects, in a crushing blow to companies that had been hoping to capitalise on one of the new frontiers of growth in the fossil fuel industry.

The decision draws a line under years of bitter opposition to the controversial extraction process in a major victory for green groups and local communities.

The decision was taken after a new scientific study warned it was not possible to rule out "unacceptable" consequences for those living near fracking sites.

The report, undertaken by the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA), also warned it was not possible to predict the magnitude of earthquakes fracking might trigger.

Comment: Throwing a crumb to the environmentalists could also be a ploy to placate the public's growing hostility over the Brexit debacle. That said, there is merit to the ban on fracking, considering the evidence of harm to nearby residents.

3 killed in mystery explosion on empty Russian crude oil tanker off Far East

Comment: Hmmm, more sabotage against Russia?

We realize we suggest that angle a lot, but the 'bankers' and the 'reality-creators' and the 'chosen ones' really hate Russia that much.

A powerful blast aboard an oil tanker off the Russian coast killed three people on Saturday. The explosion popped the upper deck open like a stomped milk carton, sending sailors flying into the sea.

The deadly incident affected the Zaliv Amerika, an Aframax-size oil tanker, off the port of Nakhodka in Russia's Far East. Preliminary reports indicate there was a flash fire that produced a blast inside its midsection.

Match made in heaven: Leonardo DiCaprio and Greta Thunberg team up to stop the climate crisis

Leonardo DiCaprio and Greta Thunberg are teaming up to end the climate crisis.

Greta Thunberg and Leonardo DiCaprio have committed to each other to fight climate change and deliver the next generation a safe and brighter world.

As her climate strike journey made its way into Los Angeles, activist Greta Thunberg didn't miss out on an opportunity to go to Hollywood. The sixteen-year-old vegan activist spent time with Academy Award winner and fellow climate crisis activist Leonardo DiCaprio.

"There are few times in human history where voices are amplified at such pivotal moments and in such transformational ways - but Greta Thunberg has become a leader of our time," DiCaprio wrote on Instagram. "History will judge us for what we do today to help guarantee that future generations can enjoy the same livable planet that we have so clearly taken for granted."

Comment: We wish all the luck to Leonardo DiCaprio and Greta Thunberg in forcing the sun out of its solar minimum and ending the climate crisis. We're confident that the combined power of celebrity virtue signalling and autistic immoderation will defeat this unacceptable monster, ushering a utopian age of extreme austerity measures and enforced vegan malnutrition for all.

A 24-year-old man who hit another man over the head with a baton in June during dueling downtown Portland demonstrations was sentenced Friday to nearly six years in prison.

Gage Halupowski pleaded guilty to second-degree assault in connection with the June 29 attack on Adam Kelly outside The Nines Hotel along Southwest Morrison Street. Halupowski was identified as one of several masked, black-clothed demonstrators seen on video hitting and pepper-spraying Kelly after he appeared to come to the aid of another man who'd been attacked during the protests, authorities said.

Kelly, a right-wing protestor at the demonstrations, wrote on Facebook at the time that the blows to his head led to him suffering a concussion and needing 25 staples to close the wounds.

Comment: It's about time these Antifa thugs suffer some repercussions for their violence.
