| San Diego synagogue shooting: Suspect John Earnest 'praised Christchurch shooter' before deadly attack Posted: 27 Apr 2019 10:00 PM PDT  A 19-year-old man armed with an assault-style rifle opened fire inside a synagogue near San Diego on Saturday, killing one woman inside and wounding three others in a "hate crime" on the last day of Passover. The suspect John Earnest fled in a car and called 911 shortly afterward to say he was involved in the shooting at Chabad of Poway, San Diego Police Chief David Nisleit said. When an officer reached him on a roadway, "the suspect pulled over, jumped out of his car with his hands up and was immediately taken into custody," Mr Nisleit said. The officer found an AR-type rifle in the front passenger seat. Poway Mayor Steve Vaus characterised the shooting as a "hate crime," saying his assessment was based on statements uttered by the gunman when he entered the synagogue. US President Donald Trump said the country stood in solidarity with the Jewish community after the attack, which came exactly six months since a shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue killed 11 people in the deadliest attack on Jews in US history.. "Tonight, America's heart is with the victims of the horrific synagogue shooting in California, just happened," he told supporters at a rally in Wisconsin. Thoughts and prayers to all of those affected by the shooting at the Synagogue in Poway, California. God bless you all. Suspect apprehended. Law enforcement did outstanding job. Thank you!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 27, 2019 "Our entire nation mourns the loss of life, prays for the wounded and stands in solidarity with the Jewish community. We forcefully condemn the evil of anti-Semitism and hate which must be defeated." Friends told the San Diego Union-Tribune that the woman killed in the shooting was Lori Kaye, 60, of Poway. Witnesses said she jumped in front of the synagogue's founding rabbi, Yisroel Goldstein, who was wounded in the index fingers on both hands, the newspaper reported. Others injured were Noya Dahan, 8, hit with shrapnel in the face and leg, and Almong Peretz, 34, who was shot in the leg as he ushered children in a playroom to safety, the Union-Tribune reported. Authorities say they were reviewing copies of the suspect's social media posts. A San Diego Police officer keeps aim on the house thought to be the home of 19 year-old John T. Earnest, who is a suspect in the shooting of several people in a Poway synagogue Credit: AP San Diego County Sheriff William Gore said Earnest had no prior arrests. However, he said authorities were establishing the legitimacy of an anti-Semitic open letter he apparently published on a far-right message board hours before the attack. "We have copies of his social media posts and his open letter and we'll be reviewing those to determine the legitimacy of it and how it plays in to the investigation," he said. The manifesto is reportedly similar to one posted on the same message board by Brenton Tarrant, a white supremacist who was behind the March 15 mosque attacks in Christchurch, New Zealand, that left 50 people dead. The hate-filled letter lauds Tarrant's actions and that of the Pittsburgh shooter and claims responsibility for a fire at a mosque in California a week after the Christchurch shootings. There was no known threat after Earnest was detained, but authorities boosted patrols at places of worship as a precaution, Mr Nisleit said. Neighbours and media members gather outside of the Chabad of Poway Synagogue Credit: AP An off-duty Border Patrol agent inside the synagogue in the city of Poway, just over 20 miles north of San Diego, opened fire as the shooter fled but didn't hit him, Mr Gore said. Minoo Anvari told CNN that she's a member of Chabad of Poway and her husband was inside during the shooting. She said he called to tell her the shooter was shouting and cursing and she called the shooting "unbelievable" in a peaceful and tight-knit community. "We are strong, we are united, they can't break us," she said. Christopher Folts, a nearby resident, said on CNN he heard six to seven gunshots, then a man yelling, followed by six to seven more shots.

"We are horrified and upset, and we want them to know we are thinking of them," Ms Bromberg told The Los Angeles Times, adding that she has not heard from Chabad of Poway leadership because they would not normally use the phone during the Sabbath. "They would only do that on emergency basis, if they do it at all," Ms Bromberg told the newspaper. Passover began on April 19 and was ending on Saturday. In Pittsburgh, a truck driver who authorities say expressed hatred of Jews has been charged in the October 27 rampage at the Tree of Life synagogue. He's pleaded not guilty. Saturday's Passover violence followed a recent spate of deadly attacks on houses of worship around the world. Suicide bombings during Easter Sunday services at several churches in Sri Lanka killed more than 250 people. Weeks earlier a gunman who opened fire at two mosques in New Zealand left 49 people dead and more than 40 wounded, some as they knelt in prayer.

| She Went Through Hell: The Amazing Story of the Navy Aircraft Carrier USS Franklin Posted: 26 Apr 2019 06:00 PM PDT  The USS Franklin was not a lucky ship.In March 1945, off the Japanese mainland, the Essex-class aircraft carrier was hit by two 550-pound bombs that struck her flight deck and penetrated into the hangar deck. Less than six months earlier, a kamikaze had hit her off Leyte in the Philippines, killing or wounding 120 members of her crew.The second attack ignited the fuel tanks of 31 armed and fueled aircraft awaiting launch, as well as "Tiny Tim" air-to-surface rockets and other ordnance aboard the ship. Fires raged. Rockets whistled across the deck, and machine-gun ammunition clattered. In minutes, the Franklin was dead in the water with massive casualties, a 13-degree starboard list, and without any radio communications. Many of her damage control team members were dead and some of her water lines, needed to fight the fires, were severed. Flaming and wreathed in choking smoke, she was 52 miles from the Japanese mainland and drifting closer.The Franklin Would Endure"I saw guys flying through the air [and] saw men running around on fire, just flaming torches," a seaman on a nearby destroyer reported. Like most of the men who could see the Franklin, he though she was doomed.

| NRA President Oliver North Ousted, Will Not Be Renominated for Post Posted: 27 Apr 2019 07:36 AM PDT  REUTERSINDIANAPOLIS—In a surprising move, Oliver North announced that he has been ousted as president of the National Rifle Association, going on the offensive to warn that the powerful gun rights group is in "clear crisis."In a letter read by the group's vice president Saturday morning to kick off the second day of the group's annual meeting, North said that he will not be renominated to serve as NRA president as infighting and controversy have taken hold at the gun rights group's annual meeting."Please know I hoped to be with you today as NRA president endorsed for reelection. I'm now informed that that will not happen," he wrote.North, who has been in the job six months, went on to attack the NRA law firm that filed a lawsuit against its leading ad firm. "There is a clear crisis" at the NRA regarding financial allegations, he wrote.The announcement comes as The Daily Beast exclusively reported on Saturday that longtime NRA lawyer, Steve Hart, has been suspended. The dual departures of long-time high profile NRA insiders with knowledge of the organization's legal troubles come just days after the gun-gun group took shots North in the days leading up to its much-watched national meeting keynoted by President Donald Trump—the first sign of a internal shake up.In a sign that something was afoot, Wayne LaPierre, the NRA's longtime CEO and leader, received a standing ovation at the beginning of the members meeting. He was seated next to Oliver North's empty chair and placard.North's opening remarks were essentially a rebuke of his ouster, read by First Vice President Richard Childress to the thousands of members who had packed Lucas Oil Stadium, an NFL football arena in downtown Indianapolis for the popular event.Childress said that he only learned that he would be reading the letter around 7 p.m. Friday night and asked the audience to bare with him."After resuming office as NRA president in September of 2018, I was confronted by NRA members and board members who expressed concern about the amount of money the NRA was paying to the Brewer law firm," North wrote in his letter. "There is a clear crisis and it needs to be dealt with immediately and responsibly so the NRA can continue to focus on protecting our Second Amendment."In an updated version of a civil complaint filed April 24 in Virginia state court, the NRA made new allegations regarding North, a former Marine Corps lieutenant colonel perhaps best known for his role in the Iran-contra affair, and his relationship the company that runs NRATV. The updated complaint alleges that not only did North not deliver on all of the material promised for NRATV but he allegedly garnered a salary from both the gun rights group and Ackerman McQueen, the advertising form that has worked with the advocacy group for three decades, at the same time.On Thursday, LaPierre claimed in a letter published in the Wall Street Journal that North was trying to "oust him" in an alleged extortion attempt and would not comply with the threat. "Delivered by a member of our Board on behalf of his employer, the exhortation was simple: resign or there will be destructive allegations made against me and the NRA," LaPierre, who is also the group's executive vice president, wrote in the letter. In response, North wrote his own letter to the board on Thursday, defending his actions that were "for the good of the NRA." North, once a political commentator and Fox News host, also served as a staff member of the National Security Council during the Regan administration. He was later convicted on three felony accounts stemming from the affair involving an arms-for-hostages deal with Iran in which the proceeds were used to secretly arm a Contras rebel group in Nicaragua. The conviction was later overturned.On May 7, 2018, the NRA announced that North would become the organization's next president after years of serving as a board member and appearing at the national conventions in 2007 and 2008. "I've been on the NRA board for more than two decades. It was a great privilege to serve as your president this past year, an honor second to only serving our country as a U.S. Marine in combat," he wrote in the Saturday letter. On Saturday, New York Attorney General Letitia James also confirmed her office has launched an investigation into the NRA regarding the group's finances, a spokesperson confirmed to NPR. "The Office of New York State Attorney General Letitia James has launched an investigation related to the National Rifle Association (NRA). As part of this investigation, the Attorney General has issued subpoenas," the spokesperson said. According to NPR, the group received a document preservation notice in connection with the AG's investigation.In response, an outside lawyer for the NRA told the news organization that the group is " fully cooperat[ing] with any inquiry into its finances." "The NRA is prepared for this, and has full confidence in its accounting practices and commitment to good governance," William A. Brewer III, an outside lawyer for the NRA, told the news organization on Saturday. Read more at The Daily Beast.

| Four dead as crane collapses onto cars in downtown Seattle Posted: 27 Apr 2019 04:07 PM PDT  Four people were killed when a construction crane collapsed Saturday in downtown Seattle, pinning cars underneath. All of the victims were dead by the time firefighters got to the scene, the Seattle Fire Department said. Other people have been transported to the hospital, the department said. "It was terrifying," Esther Nelson, a biotech researcher who was working in a building nearby, told The Seattle Times. "The wind was blowing really strong." She added that the crane appeared to break in half.The crane was atop an office building under construction in a densely populated area, near the intersection of Mercer Street and Fairview Avenue when it collapsed. Tweets from the scene showed the crane collapsed on the street, with vehicles stopped in the vicinity. All lanes were closed, and motorists were told to avoid the area. With Amazon and other tech companies increasing their hiring in Seattle, the city has dozens of construction cranes building office towers and apartment buildings. As of January, there were about 60 construction cranes in Seattle, more than any other American city.

| New York Attorney General Launches Investigation Into the National Rifle Association Posted: 27 Apr 2019 04:16 PM PDT  Lucas Jackson/ReutersNew York Attorney General Letitia James has launched an investigation into the National Rifle Association after reports surfaced of financial improprieties within the organization. "The Office of New York State Attorney General Letitia James has launched an investigation related to the National Rifle Association (NRA). As part of this investigation, the Attorney General has issued subpoenas," a spokesperson for the attorney general's office told NPR. According to NPR, the group received a document preservation notice in connection with the AG's investigation, and The New York Times reports that several businesses connected with the gun rights group also received subpoenas.The announcement comes just hours after and the pro-gun group's president, Oliver North, announced that he has been ousted, and The Daily Beast exclusively reported that longtime NRA lawyer, Steve Hart, has been suspended. North's ouster capped off days of vicious infighting within the organization, with chief executive Wayne LaPierre claiming earlier this week that North was trying to blackmail him into leaving. North was also at the center of a lawsuit filed by NRA lawyers against the group's longtime ad agency, Ackerman McQueen, over promotional work that apparently failed to deliver. The lawsuit alleged that North double-dipped by taking a salary from both the NRA and Ackerman McQueen at the same time and failed to deliver on promised sponsorship deals, saying the group found "no evidence that any substantial sponsorships exist." After news broke Saturday of the attorney general's probe, an outside lawyer for the NRA said the group would cooperate. "The NRA will fully cooperate with any inquiry into its finances," outside counsel William A. Brewer III said in a statement, adding that the NRA is "prepared for this and has full confidence in its accounting practices." Read more at The Daily Beast.

| Impeachment Would Be a Redundant Judgment Posted: 28 Apr 2019 02:30 AM PDT  The Mueller investigation was supposed to be a legal process concerned with crimes. Investigators identified no crimes to charge, and so it has, naturally, become something else: no longer a theory about a criminal conspiracy — only an irritable mood.An ordeal that had been conducted under the procedures of law in accordance with legal criteria is now an ordeal that is being conducted under the procedures of politics in accordance with political criteria — or, if you prefer, with moral criteria related to Donald Trump's character. For those who want to see President Trump impeached and who think of impeachment as a fundamentally political process in spite of its mock-trial aspect, that's just fine. They'll take their pound of flesh, however it is had.The problem with this point of view is that the question of Donald Trump's personal fitness for office already has been adjudicated as a political matter: That is what happened in the 2016 presidential election. Many critics, myself included, argued that Trump was unfit for the office, both morally and intellectually. We made our arguments, the voters consulted their own consciences, and, weighing these things however it is that voters weigh them, chose Trump. There wasn't some occult intermediary step in there. That's how things go in politics: The people behave just as if they had minds of their own! And, sometimes, they get to have their own way.In terms of Donald Trump's character and habits, there is practically nothing in the Mueller report — or in the public record since 2016 — that voters did not already know when they elected him. And that is really the fundamental argument against impeaching President Trump: The political judgment called for in an impeachment at this point and in this context properly ought to be understood as beside the point, if we take seriously the democratic assumption that the judgment of the people, rendered in the election, is sovereign.There isn't some shocking new thing, and, of course, some Democrats have been talking impeachment since before Trump was even sworn in. The Democrats do not propose to impeach Donald Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors, but simply for being Donald Trump. One may sympathize with that, but Donald Trump is the man the voters chose.And that goes to the real issue here: The Democrats cannot accept that they lost an election to Donald Trump. One sympathizes with that, too, but that is what actually happened, for several reasons: Trump focused on two issues — immigration and trade — that speak to a substantial bipartisan plurality with nationalistic and protectionist impulses rarely taken seriously by mainstream figures in either party; his opponent ran an inept campaign and has been questing after power for so long that both she and the voters are exhausted by it; the "elites" and Washingtonians against whom Trump & Co. inveigh were judged, not without some reason, to merit a trip to the woodshed; the so-called war on terror and the financial crisis of 2008–09 have destabilized formerly sturdy political coalitions. And, of course, it was Republicans' turn.Which is to say: The Democrats' talk of impeachment is partly about 2020, but it's mainly about 2016, and their adolescent psychic need to believe that the presidential election that brought Donald Trump to the White House was illegitimate rather than an opportunity they simply blew. The theory that the election was thrown by Russian trolls posting dank memes on Twitter is hard to take seriously. If we had a list of every voter whose mind was changed in 2016 by an anonymous social-media account with a Cyrillic bio, then disenfranchising those voters would be a good start on improving things for 2020. Alas and alack, we don't do that sort of thing. But the argument that bot-executed shenanigans nullified democracy in 2016 amounts to the Democrats protesting: "These trolls robbed us of the support of our natural base: morons!"There's no quality control in social media — and less quality control in ordinary news media than there used to be. Lies, distortions, exaggerations, and pure inventions are going to be out there in the intellectual marketplace, whether they originate in Moscow or in Brooklyn. That's a real problem, but it doesn't invalidate the outcome of the 2016 election.There are many reasons to oppose an impeachment at this time: One is that no one has made a very persuasive case for one, all of the Democrats' arguments up to this point having been transparently pretextual. Another is that the Republican majority in the Senate all but ensures that the process would be purely symbolic, an exercise in chaos for pleasure's sake. A third is that it normalizes the invocation of a procedure that should be reserved for extraordinary circumstances in the service of ordinary short-term partisan interests. For comparison, consider that there was no serious impeachment talk when Barack Obama authorized the assassination of U.S. citizens without so much as a by-your-leave from Congress — or when he took executive actions that he himself had described as unconstitutional only months before. That suggests a pretty high standard — and if "I think that guy is a fink!" ends up being a common rationale for impeachment, then you'd better make your peace with anarchy, because Washington is going to be a ghost town.But the most important reason for forbearance here is that a political judgment already has been rendered on Donald Trump's character — and, if you don't like how that came out, there's another chance right around the corner.

Posted: 28 Apr 2019 01:59 AM PDT  Alternatively, the F-35A might be assigned to dangerous suppression or destruction of enemy air defenses (SEAD/DEAD) missions. The stealth and onboard jamming capabilities of the F-35 would make it more survivable than the ROKAF's 4th generation aircraft in such a role.The ROKAF, South Korea's Air Force received their first F-35A fighter jets in April 2019. The ROKAF hopes to eventually buy forty F-35As and should have ten F-35As by the end of the year.(This first appeared several weeks ago.)But how do these aircraft fit into the ROKAF's existing fleet of aircraft? What role could they play in countering the North Korean KPAF?The ROKAF already fields a variety of advanced American fighters, including over one hundred KF-16Cs and around 60 F-15K Slam Eagles. The KF-16C is fully integrated with the American AMRAAM air-to-air missile, which the ROKAF fields in the AIM-120C-5 and AIM-120C-7 variants.The combination of the KF-16C and AMRAAM vastly outclasses the majority of fighters the KPAF can field. The bulk of the KPAF fighter fleet is built out of MiG-21 variants and the J-7 fighter, which can only mount short-range infrared air-to-air missiles. KF-16Cs could just fire AMRAAMs, turn around and bug out before the KPAF MiGs lock on, though individual conditions could dictate engagement at shorter ranges.

| Synagogue Shooting Suspect Was a Piano-Playing Nursing Student From Religious Family With a Racist Secret Posted: 28 Apr 2019 02:47 PM PDT  Sandy Huffaker/AFP/GettyPOWAY, California—Nineteen-year-old nursing student John T. Earnest, who was charged with murder Sunday as the lone gunman in the deadly Poway Synagogue shooting, played piano for hours a day and earned a 4.31 grade point average. His father was a church elder whom neighbors called "the sweetest man."But somewhere on his path, Earnest took a terrible turn, claiming Adolf Hitler as an idol and writing what appears to be his own rambling manifesto that Jews "deserved nothing but hell." He wanted to be the one to, as he put it, "Send. Them. There."Police say someone purporting to be him posted the anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, white supremacist "manifesto"—which eerily mirrored the Q&A; style that Christchurch terrorist Brenton Tarrant used in his own pre-massacre diatribe—about 20 minutes before he walked into the Poway synagogue with an AR-15 style assault rifle and started shooting—killing one woman and injuring three others—before the gun malfunctioned and he was chased out by an armed security guard.Earnest was arrested by police a few minutes after the shooting as he fled, called 911, and told them where to find him off an exit on a California highway, authorities said. As an officer approached, he exited his vehicle, raised his hands, and surrendered. A rifle was recovered from the car. He is scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday on one count of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted first-degree murder, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.In his online posting, Earnest championed the likes of Robert Bowers, who fatally shot 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue shootings in Pittsburgh six months ago; Tarrant, who killed 50 people in a New Zealand mosque in March; and Hitler.He used mainstream social media like Twitter and the fringe message boards 8Chan in what has become a proven way for terrorist groups and lone wolves alike to ensure that propaganda is disseminated to both those looking for it and those who are not. He posted the original screed on Pastebin.com and Mediafire.com, and linked to them on 8Chan. Like Tarrant, he promised to live-stream his killing spree, which he evidently failed to pull off. Facebook immediately removed the profile link he intended to use, but had somehow not seen the warning signs when he created the page.Sheriff William Gore of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department said during a press conference late Sunday that authorities were carrying out searches in the suspect's home and "looking into digital evidence and checking the authenticity of an online manifesto." If it is validated as authentic, the student, who was previously unknown to police, found footing in the usual tenets of hate and the now all-too-familiar desire for infamy. Zach Keele, pastor of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, where Earnest's father was an elder, or officer of the church, confirmed that he was part of the parish. "So John T. Earnest is a member here," he told The Daily Beast. "We completely deplore what he did. That is not part of our practices, our teachings in any way. Our hearts, our prayers, our tears go out to the victims, to all those wonderful neighbors at the synagogue."Keele said Earnest had never appeared to be the sort of person who would carry out this sort of an attack. "This is a complete surprise," he said.In a service at the church on Sunday, Keele delivered a sermon on betrayal and forgiveness, offering condolences to the victims–but also to Earnest's family. "We pray, Lord, for those who are hurting, and we pray for the victims of that synagogue," Keele told the crowd of 50 or so parishioners. "We deeply mourn that this evil came out from us. We do not understand it, oh Lord, and we pray that you would forgive us for any such shortcoming, for any good deeds we left undone. We pray, Lord, that you will be with the Earnest family."Speaking to his congregation after the service, Keele said he had spoken with Earnest's parents the night before. They had spent the night huddled in their other son's apartment close to the beach while their own house was searched by SWAT teams, he said. Earnest's father plans to release a statement Monday morning through an attorney. "It's a good statement," Keele said. "They have good family support."The minister added that Earnest must "suffer the full punishment of the law." Still, he hopes he will "recant his hatred." Keele plans to visit the young man in prison, if convicted, he said. After the service, Gerrit Groenewold, a board member at the Orthodox Presbyterian Church who happens to be the father of the girlfriend of one of Earnest's brothers, told The Daily Beast that he had noticed Earnest had seemed quiet, and often tried to reach out to the young man, but with little luck. "I have tried to talk to John several times, but he is very silent and very reclusive. I noticed that he was quiet and just wanted to have contact... The other [members of his family] are not nearly as quiet," he said. "It's not good if someone is that quiet. He needs to be part of the community, to let them know what is going on."Earnest also claimed responsibility for an attempted arson attack last month on Dar-ul-Arqam Mosque in Escondido, about nine miles from Poway, Security cameras at the mosque caught a suspect breaking a lock and pouring liquid on a side door but had failed to identify the person. Gore said investigators are now looking his "possible involvement in the arson and vandalism of mosque."In a comment that was left after the synagogue shooting, someone asks, "How does a child of such privilege to so horribly wrong? Where does this hatred come from?"Late Saturday afternoon, California State University San Marcos president Karen S. Haynes confirmed that Earnest had been enrolled at the its nursing school."We are dismayed and disheartened that the alleged shooter—now in custody—is a CSUSM student. CSUSM is working collaboratively with the San Diego County Sheriff's Department to assist and gain more information," Haynes said in a statement. "We are heartbroken by this tragedy, which was motivated by hate and anti-Semitism."A man who identified himself as Earnest's grandfather expressed shock at his grandson's role in the deadly shooting on Saturday."He did what?" the man told The Daily Beast when reached by phone. "That is out of whack. My heart is sinking into my chest. I'm going to hang up now." By Saturday evening, police had barricaded the streets leading to the cul-de-sac in Rancho Peñasquitos, a hilly, middle-class suburb of San Diego about seven miles from the synagogue where Earnest lives with his family. More than three dozen law enforcement officers, including FBI agents, ATF agents, and cops, were at the scene. Eyewitnesses told The Daily Beast that the family left their home under police escort hours earlier. Around 9 p.m. local time, law enforcement had secured a search warrant to enter Earnest's house, which may well confirm the authenticity of his hate-filled screed and could possibly uncover how far he was willing to act on his hate.

| Spain election: Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez wins as far-Right makes breakthrough Posted: 28 Apr 2019 03:52 PM PDT  Spanish Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez earned his first general election win on Sunday, despite the emergence of a hard-Right party that capitalised on many Spaniards' fury with the government's attempt to find common ground with the breakaway region of Catalonia. On high turnout of close to 76 per cent, the Socialist party (PSOE) claimed victory for the first time since 2008 with 123 seats out of 350, although a delicately hung parliament means that forming a government will involve complex negotiations with other forces from the Left and regional parties. With more than 98 per cent of the vote counted, the PSOE was declared winner by Spanish government spokeswoman Isabel Celaá. "We have sent a clear message to Europe and the world: you can beat authoritarianism and involution from the left," Mr Sánchez said in reference to his victory over his conservative opponents including the anti-immigration, populist force Vox. Vox became the first hard-Right force to gain significant representation in Spain's parliament since the death of dictator Francisco Franco in 1975 with 24 seats. Santiago Abascal, leader of far right party Vox, addresses supporters outside the party headquarters after the general election in Madrid Credit: AP With the vote on the Right side of the spectrum split three ways, the biggest loser of the night was the main conservative opposition Popular Party (PP), falling to 66 seats, less than half of the 137 seats it achieved when winning the previous election in 2016. The liberal Ciudadanos came close to pipping the PP to second place, with 58 seats. Vox came from a result of 0.2 per cent in 2016 to win 10 per cent, but it had the effect of cannibalising the Right-of-centre vote and helping Mr Sánchez to stretch out his lead. Together, the PP, Ciudadanos and Vox won 43 per cent, one point more than PSOE and Podemos combined. The PP, Ciudadanos were hoping to combine with Vox for a majority to eject Mr Sánchez from power in order to crack down on Catalonia's separatist leaders by suspending the region's autonomy. The three parties had accused Mr Sánchez of being a danger to Spanish unity after he used his 10-month-long spell in government before the election to seek a negotiated end to the impasse between Madrid and Catalonia's regional government. But Vox's secretary general, Javier Ortega, was exultant over the result. "This is just the beginning," he told supporters in Madrid's Margaret Thatcher square. "Every Vox member of Congress is going to be a whirlwind." The general secretary of VOX, Javier Ortega Smith, is seen during his speech at the Plaza Margaret Thatcher, where the party celebrates the electoral results Credit: Getty Pablo Iglesias, the leader the hard-Left Podemos, offered his party's 42 seats to "build a leftist government coalition". But Mr Sánchez will also have to seek support from Basque nationalists and other minority forces, possibly including Catalan pro-independence parties in order to reach a majority. Divisions over how to deal with Catalonia's bid for independence played out in an ill-tempered campaign with the trial of 10 imprisoned Catalan leaders over their role in the region's unconstitutional referendum in 2017 rumbling on in the background. Mr Sánchez was described by Vox as "an enemy of the nation" for negotiating with Catalan forces, while PP leader Pablo Casado accused the prime minister of siding with "bloodstained hands" after the government received parliamentary support from Basque party Bildu, regarded as the successor to the political wing of terrorist group Eta. The party leaders clashed in fractious televised debates. Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera described Mr Sánchez as a "disgraceful" prime minister for kneeling before Catalan separatists, while the latter took his Right-wing opponents to task over their Andalucian government's rollback of assistance for women victims of male violence.

| The Day the Carrier Died: How the Navy (Nearly) Lost an Aircraft Carrier in Battle Posted: 27 Apr 2019 09:00 PM PDT  "The treatment of these Franklin crewmen," concludes Springer, constituted "one of the greatest but least-known injustices involving the U.S. Navy in World War II."Seldom do I come away incensed from reading history. The saga of the World War II aircraft carrier USS Franklin (CV-13) constitutes an exception. We normally think of Franklin's history as a parable about the importance of shipboard firefighting and damage control. It's about materiel and methods, in other words. And these things are important without a doubt. Fighting ships are metal boxes packed with explosives and flammables. Suppressing fire represents a crucial function, which is why the first thing a new sailor does after reporting aboard is qualify in rudimentary damage control.(This first appeared several years ago.)But a ship is more than a hunk of steel. The hunk of steel plus the crew that lives on board it comprises the ship. Bad leadership marred Franklin's human component. In the end, then, this is a story with mixed lessons. It is not merely about the material dimension of naval warfare.

| FAA considered grounding some Boeing 737 Max planes last year: source Posted: 28 Apr 2019 03:10 PM PDT  US regulators considered grounding some Boeing 737 MAX planes last year after learning of a problem with a system that is now the main suspect in two deadly crashes, a source close to the matter said. Investigators in the Lion Air crash in October off the coast of Indonesia and the Ethiopia Airlines disaster in March have zeroed in on the planes' anti-stall system, called the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, or MCAS. Last year, inspectors with the Federal Aviation Administration discovered Boeing de-activated a signal designed to advise the cockpit crew of a malfunctioning of the MCAS system, the source said.

| Putin breaks silence on Russian spy Maria Butina after jailing in US Posted: 27 Apr 2019 09:09 AM PDT  Vladimir Putin has called the 18-month prison sentence handed to Russian foreign agent Maria Butina by US authorities "an outrage". Describing her treatment a travesty of justice the Russian president said the sentence looked like an attempt by US law enforcement and judicial officials to save face.An admitted agent, Butina was sentenced by a US District Court judge in Washington DC where she expressed remorse for conspiring with a Russian official to infiltrate a gun rights group and influence American conservatives.In his first comments about the case since the sentencing, Mr Putin told reporters in Beijing: "It's an outrage. It's not clear what she was convicted of or what crime she committed. I think it's a prime example of saving face."They arrested her and put the girl in jail. But there was nothing on her, so in order not to look totally stupid they gave her, fixed her up, with an 18-month sentence to show that she was guilty of something."Butina admitted to conspiring with a Russian official and two Americans from 2015 until her arrest to infiltrate the National Rifle Association (NRA).Prosecutors said that while she did not engage in "traditional" spy craft, she worked behind the scenes to make inroads in conservative political circles and promote friendlier US- Russian ties.She arranged dinners in Washington and New York and attended events to meet high-profile politicians.Until Friday, Butina had not made any significant public comments since her arrest, but her remarks in court contradicted the Kremlin's account that she had been forced by the US to falsely confess to the "ridiculous" charge of being a Russian agent."I destroyed my own life," Butina told the judge. "While I know I am not this evil person who has been depicted in the media, I am responsible for these consequences. Now I beg for mercy, for the chance to go home and restart my life."Her lawyers argued her crime was down to a simple failure to notify the Justice Department of her activities on Russia's behalf."If I had known to register as a foreign agent, I would have done so without delay," Butina told the judge. "I just didn't register because I didn't know to."Judge Tanya Chutkan imposed a sentence that matched the prison term prosecutors requested and also agreed to have Butina deported back to Russia after she completes her incarceration.The sentence included the nine months she already has served in jail since her July arrest, meaning she will serve another nine months in prison. Mr Putin also said Moscow was considering offering all Ukrainian citizens fast-tracked Russian passports. The move will likely anger some politicians in Ukraine which has been at war with pro-Russian separatists since 2014.He made the statement days after signing an order to simplify the procedure for obtaining a Russian passport for residents of separatist-controlled eastern Ukraine.The Russian president also said he wanted to know the position of Ukrainian President-elect Volodymyr Zelenskiy on the conflict in eastern Ukraine following the comedian's election victory."If we have a meeting sometime, begin some negotiations, which I do not rule out, then we will first of all have to talk about how to end the conflict in the southeast of Ukraine."Additional reporting by agencies

One of the requirements was that the weapon had to be optimized to fire 147-grain 9mm ammunition.

| Trump falsely claims babies are being legally executed, mimics Saudi king's accent and calls former FBI officials 'scum' in wild rally speech Posted: 28 Apr 2019 02:35 AM PDT  Donald Trump has falsely claimed that newborn babies are being legally "executed" during a wild and often incoherent rally speech in Wisconsin.The US president said mothers who had just given birth were being given the choice of keeping the child or allowing it to be killed.The claim – demonstrably false – came as he spoke about late-term abortions."The baby is born, the mother meets with the doctor, they take care of the baby, they wrap the baby beautifully, and then the doctor and the mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby," Mr Trump said to a chorus of boos.He rounded on Wisconsin's democrat governor Tony Evers, who, earlier this year, vetoed a Republican bill that would have required doctors to provide medical care to babies born alive after failed abortion attempts.Mr Evers said he did not support the bill because he believed existing laws offered enough protection to such babies.The remarkable inaccuracy was one of a series of extraordinary claims made by the president during a typically bellicose rally address in the city of Green Bay.He also referred to former FBI officials he has purged from government as "scum", referred to the media as "sick people", and mimicked the accent of King Salman of Saudi Arabia.He implied that he had continued to deal with the Middle East country after its leaders are said to have ordered the execution of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi because they "have a lot of money".At one point he revelled in anti-Hillary Clinton chants of "lock her up". At another, he said his proposed plan to send all undocumented immigrants to just a handful of America's sanctuary cities had been "my sick idea".He also dismissed rumours that, if voted in for a second term in 2020, he would attempt to change the constitution so he could run for a third time."I promise at the end of six years, I'll be very happy but you're gonna be left with the strongest country you've ever had," he said.The rally, which Mr Trump said had attracted more than 10,000 people, was held as a counter event to the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, which is traditionally attended by sitting presidents.

| The Problem with Russia's New Armata Tank Posted: 28 Apr 2019 11:00 AM PDT  Along with the Armata production problems, the Su-57 5th generation stealth fighter has also been shelved for the time being due to budgetary constraints.When Russia first unveiled the T-14 Armata tank to the public in 2015, western militaries took note of next-generation juggernaut's futuristic and flexible design, which was built to replace several armored ground units. But unfortunately for the Russian armed forces, a sluggish economy hit by sanctions and massive corruption doesn't appear to be able to produce the revolutionary tank in significant numbers.(This article by Brad Howard originally appeared at Task & Purpose. Follow Task & Purpose on Twitter. This article first appeared in 2018.)\- Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov told Russia's Itar-TASS news service earlier this week that at the price of $4 million per unit, the Armata was 'rather expensive', and that the upgraded T-72BM tank was sufficient to deter NATO. By comparison, the M1A2 Abrams runs around $6 million per tank.

| Tesla's Musk agrees to new vetting rules for tweets in SEC deal Posted: 26 Apr 2019 06:22 PM PDT  "The consequences of thumbing his nose at the SEC could have been far worse for him and the company." Tesla has struggled with logistics difficulties in delivering its Model 3 to global customers, a declining share price and lingering questions about the sustainability of demand. TWEET APPROVAL The SEC sued Musk last year after he tweeted on Aug. 7 that he had "funding secured" to take Tesla private at $420 per share. In February, the SEC accused Musk of violating that settlement by sending a tweet about Tesla's production numbers that had not been vetted by the company's attorneys, and asked U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan in Manhattan to hold him in contempt.
