6/ Rep. Tulsi Gabbard served as a combat medic in the Iraq War.
She became a progressive star when she was first elected to the House in 2012, but has since faced criticism for her conservative stances on Islam and foreign wars: https://t.co/crRd9y2EpJ pic.twitter.com/G3ztUVX2YN

The law states the obvious. Of course all terms of a sentence must be completed. Of course there must be monetary restitution to victims if that is specified in sentencing documents. Of course court-ordered fines and fees must be paid. Try not obeying sentencing terms in traffic court and see what happens.
The "action-reaction" principle says Democrats are likely to create some sort of GoFundMe mechanism to collect money that ex-cons can use to pay their debts. Florida election officials should be paying close attention to this and other potential shenanigans...

Andy Ngo was surrounded and beaten by protesters wearing black with their faces concealed, while being covered in a milkshake, eggs and spray on Saturday.
He was taken to hospital for treatment after posting a video showing bruises and cuts to his face and neck.
“I just got beat up by the crowd,” Mr Ngo said. “I was in the middle of the street and they stole my GoPro and punched me several times in my face and my head. I’m bleeding.”...

Researchers from the Yokohama National University have teleported quantum information securely within the confines of a diamond…
June 30, 2019
For their experiments, Kosaka and his team focused on defects that sometimes arise in diamonds, when a nitrogen atom appears in vacancies that would ordinarily house carbon atoms. Kosaka's team manipulated an electron and a carbon isotope in such a vacancy by running a microwave and a radio wave into the diamond via a very thin wire – one fourth the width of a human hair. The wire was attached to the diamond, creating an oscillating magnetic field. The scientists controlled the microwaves sent to the diamond to transfer information within it. In particular, they employed a nitrogen nano magnet to transfer the polarization state of a photon to a carbon atom, effectively achieving teleportation.

DNA testing company FamilyTreeDNA is urging consumers to share genetic information with law enforcement, promising that the data could help solve crimes...
The FamilyTreeDNA agreement is inconsistent with consumer expectations. Leading genetics companies like 23andMe, Ancestry, Helix, Habit, and others worked with the Future of Privacy Forum to publicly endorse policies that genetic data should not be disclosed to government agencies without a warrant. Not all companies are as transparent and might have secretly entered into agreements similar to the FamilyTreeDNA arrangement...
FamilyTreeDNA’s new media campaign raises substantial privacy and civil liberty concerns for individuals and their relatives. Users who contribute their DNA data for law enforcement scanning aren’t simply providing their own information. DNA samples can implicate anyone in a person’s genetic family tree, from close relatives to people they have never met. Some states, including Texas, have wisely restricted or banned the type of familial matching technique that could be employed by the FBI in DNA databases. These rules help prevent individuals from becoming “genetic informants” by subjecting their relatives to unwanted government scrutiny, but they have not been implemented in all states.
Individuals who have taken genetic tests should think long and hard about the consequences for them — or their relatives — before they upload their DNA information...

The Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus to donate majority of fortune, support Trump for re-election…
June 30, 2019
The Home Depot co-founder told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution over the weekend that he’s continuing to look for worthy causes to donate to while he’s still living. Marcus, 90, added that 80 to 90 percent of his wealth will go to the Marcus Foundation when he dies to fund other organizations such as medical discoveries, helping children with autism and veteran support.
“I want to live to be 100 because I want to be in a position to give it away to those things that I really believe in,” Marcus told the newspaper. “I’ve got all the houses I need. I live very well. My kids are taken care of. Everything I live for now is finding the right things to put my money into and that can give me a rate of return in emotion and doing good things for this world.”
Marcus was also a top donor to President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign — and he plans to support the president during his 2020 re-election bid.
“[Trump’s] got a businessman’s common sense approach to most things,” Marcus said. “…Now, do I agree with every move that he makes? No, I don’t. But the truth is he has produced more than anybody else. He has. If we look at this country, I would say that we are better off today than we were eight years ago or six years ago.”

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Under Fire for Not Stopping Antifa Protests…
June 30, 2019
Wheeler, who is also police commissioner, said nothing on Saturday, as hundreds of Antifa protestors gathered on the streets, with some throwing milkshakes — potentially mixed with quick-drying cement — and assaulting Ngo.
Ngo, shaken and bloodied, began livestreaming on his phone after his assault, and could be heard asking a police officer, “Where the hell were all of you?”... Wheeler also criticized a Fox News story that was headlined, “Mob rule? Leftist protesters take over Portland street.” “I’m willing to take criticism all day long from Fox News,” he said, according to the article. “But I’m not willing to accept criticism from Fox News of the men and women of the Portland Police Bureau.”...

June 30, 2019
Remnants of the Islamic State are engaged in a campaign of violence, extortion, and terrorism in Syria and Iraq in an apparent effort to regroup after the disintegration of the jihadist group's land caliphate earlier this year.
These ISIS fighters have reverted to insurgent tactics, forcing U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces and Iraqi security forces to adjust their strategy from the focus on countering a conventional threat. Some experts are concerned this could be a sign the group is preparing to make a push to retake lost territory...
