September 21, 2019
Virginia Giuffre, who was recruited by Epstein at the age of 16, told the Miami Herald that doctors prescribed her Xanax for the three years, as well as several other victims through recommended doctors...

YouTube backtracks on taking badges away from creators after outcry…
September 21, 2019
YouTube is almost completely backtracking on the verification system changes it announced yesterday. All YouTubers who are currently verified will get to keep their verification status, and YouTubers who are not yet verified will still be able to apply for it once they hit 100,000 subscribers, as creators have in the past. Only a single key change isn’t being reversed: YouTube will actually verify that channels are authentic, whereas in the past it seemingly has not thoroughly taken this very obvious step. This is all quite different from the original plan. YouTube had indicated it was going to limit verification to only established brands and the biggest personalities — people who were at high risk of impersonation.

In the paper, the team of researchers claimed that their processor was able to perform a calculation, which would have taken the most advanced 'classical' computers today over 10,000 years to work out.

September 21, 2019
Leaders of the group said they were raising the alarm about the possible new attack after they were pressed by Iran to play a role in it, these people said. It couldn’t be determined how serious the threat was and Houthi claims have long been met with skepticism by Western officials. But Saudi Arabia and the U.S. have both received the information, according to people briefed on the warnings.

Iran threatens to ‘pursue any aggressor’ after US announces Middle East plan…
September 21, 2019
“Be careful, a limited aggression will not remain limited. We will pursue any aggressor,” the head of the Revolutionary Guards, Major General Hossein Salami, said in remarks broadcast on state TV, Reuters reported.
The comments came less than 24 hours after the U.S. said it would send a “moderate” number of troops to the region and additional missile defenses to Saudi Arabia, following last week’s drone strikes on oil facilities in the kingdom. President Trump also slapped additional sanctions on Iran’s national bank Friday in response to the drone strikes.
Iran also announced it will stage a naval drill with Russia and China in international waters, according to Tasnim, a semi-official news agency.Ben Carson doubled down on his criticism of transgender women, who he called ‘big, hairy men,’ entering women’s shelters…
September 21, 2019
HUD Secretary Ben Carson reiterated that women's groups told him they feel unsafe with "big, hairy men" entering women's shelters... In an email sent to his staff on Friday obtained by The Washington Post, Carson denied that his statements were harmful toward transgender people and suggested that the media made "mischaracterizations" about his remarks. Carson also created a dichotomy between cisgender women and transgender women, arguing that their different needs need to be taken into consideration. He suggested prioritizing common sense over identity politics. Multiple Democrats have called for Carson's resignation after The Post reported that he has a pattern of making dismissive comments about transgender people, including Carson saying that society no longer knows the difference between men and women.
Multiple cities in Illinois are forced to cut police, fire departments and other city services to fund pension plans…
September 21, 2019
Illinois does not allow cities to file for bankruptcy but that is the best word to describe many of them. East St. Louis is the latest... On Tuesday, the East St. Louis’ firefighter pension fund demanded that Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza intercept more than $2.2 million of East St. Louis city revenues so they could be diverted to the pension fund.
The fund trustees said the city shorted firefighter pensions by $880,000 in 2017 and another $1.3 million in 2018. Under a 2011 pension law, the state comptroller gained the powers to intercept city revenues on behalf of police and fire pension funds shorted by their municipalities.
White nationalism is now recognized as a major terror threat by the Department of Homeland Security…
September 21, 2019
“Similar to how ISIS inspired and connected with potential radical Islamist terrorists, white supremacist violent extremists connect with like-minded individuals online,” the report says. “In addition to mainstream social media platforms, white supremacist violent extremists use lesser-known sites like Gab, 8chan, and EndChan, as well as encrypted channels. Celebration of violence and conspiracy theories about the ‘ethnic replacement’ of whites as the majority ethnicity in various Western countries are prominent in their online circles.”
DHS is pushing for a whole-of-society approach, arguing that “an aware society is the best foundation for preventing terrorism and targeted violence.” As such, DHS plans on providing a variety of awareness briefings, engagement strategies and outreach efforts to inform as much of the public as possible about how to respond if an individual is mobilizing violence. The Department will also develop outreach programs for youth, who are recognized as a particularly vulnerable group...
Media is about to have a bad time: John Solomon just reported that the State Department actually asked Rudy Giuliani to contact the lawyer for Ukraine’s president…
September 21, 2019
Giuliani’s contact with Zelensky adviser and attorney Andrei Yermak this summer was encouraged and facilitated by the U.S. State Department. Giuliani didn’t initiate it. A senior U.S. diplomat contacted him in July and asked for permission to connect Yermak with him. Then, Giuliani met in early August with Yermak on neutral ground — in Spain — before reporting back to State everything that occurred at the meeting.

So the media stories of Giuliani’s alleged political opposition research in Ukraine, it turns out, are a bit different than first reported...The trolling level from this administration is astronomical. They are purposefully withholding exculpatory stories just to let the fake news hang themselves. This will be the last we hear about anything to do with the whistleblower in 3..2..1...
