A former US Navy submariner has filed a lawsuit alleging that Obama administration officials denied him equal protection under the law, and went easy on Hillary Clinton for the same offenses.

31-year-old Kristian Saucier served a year in federal prison for taking photographs of classified sections of the submarine he worked on. In the suit, filed in Albany, New York, on Monday, he argues that the same officials who threw the book at him went much easier on Hillary Clinton for using a private email server to handle classified State Department documents.

The US Department of Justice, former FBI Director James Comey and former President Barack Obama are named as some of the defendants in Saucier's complaint.

Comment: Saucier has a point but no skin in the bigger game. He got his pardon.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio travelled to a family vacation aboard a spy plane designed to detect radioactive material used in "dirty bombs" with the backing of the city's police department.

Police Commissioner James O'Neill told reporters on Tuesday that the NYPD's intelligence bureau cleared De Blasio to go back and forth from his holiday in Quebec, Canada, using the $3 million Cessna 208 Caravan. He had taken time out from his week-long break to attend a memorial for a slain police detective.

"Bottom line, the mayor came back to go to a street-renaming for a detective that was brutally murdered a year ago," O'Neill said, according to the New York Post.

Public housing nationwide goes smoke-free July 31, and the ban will impact thousands of Mid-South families.

HUD, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, said going smoke-free will lower property maintenance costs and reduce the risk of fire.

The Memphis Housing Authority manages 11,000 households in Memphis and Shelby County.

MHA Executive Director Marcia Lewis said they'll focus on working with residents who want to kick the habit.

Pathological Russophobia: Estonian commander goes into bizarre rant - 'Russians will die in Tallinn if they invade'

An Estonian Defense Forces commander - who confessed to fighting bloodthirsty Russians in his dreams - vowed during a bizarre interview with Politico that Russian troops "will die in Tallinn" if they ever dare to invade.

Members of the 6,000-strong Estonian Defense Forces - half of whom are conscripts - have likely pondered a perceived 'Russian threat' at some point but surely none went as far in their militarist musings as Colonel Riho Uhtegi, who leads the tiny country's defense force.

Adding some Baltic flavor to a lengthy Politico article on the scale of the Russian scare in the region, Uhtegi touched upon the scenario that Russian troops may take over all of Estonia in a matter of days, if not hours, quickly seizing the capital city Tallinn.

Fixing the reporter with "that dead-eyed Baltic stare," the commando chief said: "They can get to Tallinn in two days. But they will die in Tallinn. And they know this. ... They will get fire from every corner, at every step." The Russians may capture Tallinn and beyond, but then "we will cut their communication lines and supply lines and everything else," he threatened.

Poll reveals two-thirds of Russians believe global government exists, and most of them think it's hostile towards Russia

About two-thirds of Russians believe in the existence of a shadowy world government, and most of them also believe it is hostile to their country, according to a recent survey.

On Wednesday state-run Russian public opinion research agency VTSIOM released the results of a poll in which 67 percent of Russian citizens said they believe there is a secret world government. Twenty-one percent said they reject the possibility that it exists, and the rest were undecided.

Just two years ago, about 45 percent said they believe in the existence of a global government, while over 30 percent rejected the idea, the researchers noted. The survey also revealed that the percentage of those who believe it exists is higher among older people (over 70 percent), but among people between 18 and 34, it was also significant - about 55 percent.

About one-third of those who believe it exists said they could not give any evidence to back the world government theory. Those who could mentioned various signs - from the existence of international organizations like the UN or NATO, to references to TV programs and talk on the street.

Around 74 percent of those who believe there is a world government think that it has a hostile attitude towards Russia, while only 10 percent said the shadow body acts in Russia's best interests.

Comment: These Russians aren't wrong.

'80% were grown-ups': Swedish dentist 'crushed' by legal system for exposing migrant 'kids' as adults will take case to European Court of Justice

A Swedish dentist who was ruined after being fired and fined for revealing that over 80 percent of his refugee 'children' patients were actually adults, told RT that people coming to his country should not lie about their age.

The story of Bernt Herlitz, a dental hygienist from the Swedish island of Gotland, came under the spotlight in 2016 when he revealed an unpleasant truth. Herlitz was analyzing the teeth of "unaccompanied" minor migrants who started to arrive in the Scandinavian country as the worst refugee crisis since WWII struck Europe. It turned out that wisdom teeth of the 'children' were fully grown in 80 percent of cases, a sign clearly showing that Herlitz' patients were far from being underage.

Comment: Such events makes one wonder about the real agenda of the migrant influx.

The public school system corrupts children

olde tyme classroom
Across North America, the debate surrounding sex education continues to swirl through the schools. Parental protests are popping up in British Columbia to voice disagreement with the SOGI curriculum, Parents as First Educators are pushing the Doug Ford government to roll back the radical sex-ed of the previous Liberal government, and private religious schools are battling the provincial government of Alberta in court to keep them from forcing their LGBT agenda into the independent sphere, as well. Across the United States, small pockets of parents are also doing battle with the powerful LGBT lobby that is steamrolling its way through the school system, demanding that their ideology be taught to other people's children-and usually succeeding.

It is disturbing to stop and realize what is now considered too controversial for children, and conversely what is considered appropriate for children. Laura Ingalls Wilder, for example, has just had her name stripped from a prestigious award for children's literature because there are passages in her books that our politically correct elites consider to be racist, or at least culturally insensitive. Interestingly, Wilder was herself a teacher, obtaining her teaching certificate in 1882 and signing on to teach a one-room schoolhouse full of children in the Dakota Territory at the age of only fifteen years old. Her mother, Caroline Quiner, was also a schoolteacher when she met and married Charles Ingalls (known to generations of children simply as "Pa") in 1860.

Monty Python's Terry Gilliam weighs in on the BBC's diversity push: 'I'm a black lesbian'

Last month, BBC "comedy controller" Shane Allen announced a new slate of shows for the fall with a particular emphasis on the diversity of the programs. From the Guardian:
The BBC's controller of comedy commissioning, Shane Allen, said he aimed to "grow the stars of tomorrow" and promote "more and more diversity"...

He said the time had passed when having "quite a male-dominated selection process" led to "a lot of male, middle-aged middle-class comedy".
Someone asked Allen if that would rule out shows like Monty Python in the future. He replied, "If you're going to assemble a team now, it's not going to be six Oxbridge white blokes. It's going to be a diverse range of people who reflect the modern world." That didn't sit well with director and Monty Python cast member Terry Gilliam. Gilliam was asked what he thought of the comments and said he wanted to henceforth be known as a black lesbian:

Syrian army captures FRENCH armaments in Dara'a province
Syrian victories continue to uncover the hand of Israel, some EU states, and the US in backing terrorism. The Syrian Army has captured several APILAS anti-tank systemsmanufactured in France in the south of the country, local media have said.

It is said that the systems were manufactured by the French armament and military equipment maker, Nexter. According to the issue, the guns were captured in Daraa province.

Comment: Having regained control of almost the entire border line with Jordan, the Syrian Army began a full-scale mop-up operation to secure the area before safely deploying border forces.
The cleansing operation has uncovered a huge underground armory which contains massive quantities of weapons and ammunition.

The arsenal includes mortar and tanks shells (mostly UK-made), various missiles and armored vehicles.
Units of the Syrian Arab Army discovered heavy, medium, and light weapons, some of which are US-made TOW missile launch pads left behind by terrorists in eastern countryside of Daraa.

Russophobia reaches fever pitch in US media as Trump-Putin summit approaches

Rachel Maddow

Countless theories about Donald Trump's ties to Moscow have become a US media obsession, with mind-numbing Russia hysteria fully embraced by 'respected' outlets ahead of the summit with Vladimir Putin, RT's Murad Gazdiev reports.

American media have performed dizzying feats of wild speculation in the run-up to the Helsinki meeting on July 16, perhaps best exemplified by a particularly zealous New York Magazine article which suggested that the "private" meeting between Trump and Putin could be "less a negotiation between two heads of state than a meeting between a Russian-intelligence asset and his handler."
