ICE, the totally not evil agency, basically mounted a sting operation to go after immigrants who tried to sponsor unaccompanied minors.

Imagine a gif of :killing: that grows so large that it edges out of our atmosphere on its way to overtake the entirety of the solar system.

Well a lot of them signed NDAs are would be liable for a civil suit that would probably get thrown out but still cost them money. Now the flood gates are open and everyone is finding out that not only are trumps NDAs nearly unenforceable but that even breaking them you'll be somewhat protected by people who oppose trump.

https://news.vice.com/en_us/article/a3my38/exclusive-the-us-has-more-military-operations-in-africa-than-the-middle-east

quote:

In 2017, U.S. troops carried out an average of nearly 10 missions per day — 3,500 exercises, programs, and engagements for the year — across the African continent, according to Gen. Thomas Waldhauser, the AFRICOM commander.

These efforts — carried out in at least 33 countries — range from capture-or-kill commando raids to more banal training missions. Americans are also gathering intelligence, involved in surveillance and reconnaissance missions carried out by drones, engaged in construction projects, and accompanying allies on tactical operations.

There are also now 34 U.S. military outposts on the continent, concentrated in the north and west and the Horn of Africa, according to a recent report by The Intercept.

Vice News thinking there's some huge appetite for information on our Africa operations. It's mostly publicly available, but we've made it this far without anyone showing the least bit of interest in what we're doing. The interesting part is this Bolduc cat. He's a retired SOCAFRICA commander, so I wasn't really expecting his answer to be "keep doing everything we're doing, and more if possible." Also surprised that Vice didn't hammer the impressive anti-democratic chops of some of the people we work with down there, but maybe that relates back to the overall lack of interest.

Ada County Paramedics unveiled a brand-new vehicle to help them in unique situations -- a custom-made armored ambulance.

The armored ambulance isn’t just a game changer for Ada County Idaho Paramedics, it's a new step for paramedic services across the country.

With the purchase of the MedCat, Ada County Paramedics becomes the first emergency medical services organization to have its own MedCat.

"This vehicle is specifically designed for the rescue of citizens and officers who may be involved in situations that aren't accessible to normal ambulances," said Chris Shandera, Ada County Paramedics Tac Med Commander.

It’s no worse than an armored car and the front end has a ton of clearance for the tires to move. Won’t be that bad. However how did they miss the opportunity to have deplorable drop down shields cover that giant space between the tires. If you gonna go retard on an armored meat wagon go FULL RETARD.

The less competent the CoS the more chaos reigns and the less effective the White House is in general.

Having Kushner as CoS would be such a huge win-win. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will get done. That’s as close to a win as you can get in the year of our lord two thousand and eighteen.

Man, that really emphasizes the media churn the we go through these days. Not a terrible way of taking stock.

This year

- ICE Camps

- US force repelled Russian 'accidental' attack in syria

- Cohen & Manafort trials

- India connects last town to electricity

- Cuba relations frozen



Last year:

- Skripal poisonings

- Syria SU-24 shootdown

- Spicer retires

- Macron wins election

- Unite the right rally & counter protests



Last year:
Alabama? School shooting
This year:
California(?) hospital(?) shooting that killed a Las Vegas Shooting survivor
