[HEADING=2][SIZE=5]Russia recruiting U.S.-trained Afghan commandos, vets say[/SIZE][/HEADING]

[SIZE=4]Afghan special forces soldiers who fought alongside American troops and then fled to Iran after the chaotic U.S. withdrawal last year are now being recruited by the Russian military to fight in Ukraine, three former Afghan generals told The Associated Press.

They said the Russians want to attract thousands of the former elite Afghan commandos into a “foreign legion” with offers of steady, $1,500-a-month payments and promises of safe havens for themselves and their families so they can avoid deportation home to what many assume would be death at the hands of the Taliban.

“They don’t want to go fight — but they have no choice,” said one of the generals, Abdul Raof Arghandiwal, adding that the dozen or so commandos in Iran with whom he has texted fear deportation most. “They ask me, ‘Give me a solution? What should we do? If we go back to Afghanistan, the Taliban will kill us.’”

The Russian recruitment follows months of warnings from U.S. soldiers who fought with Afghan special forces that the Taliban was intent on killing them and that they might join with U.S. enemies to stay alive or out of anger with their former ally.

A GOP congressional report in August specifically warned of the danger that the Afghan commandos — trained by U.S. Navy SEALs and Army Green Berets — could end up giving up information about U.S. tactics to the Islamic State group, Iran or Russia — or fight for them.

“We didn’t get these individuals out as we promised, and now it’s coming home to roost,” said Michael Mulroy, a retired CIA officer who served in Afghanistan, adding that the Afghan commandos are highly skilled, fierce fighters. “I don’t want to see them in any battlefield, frankly, but certainly not fighting the Ukrainians.”[/SIZE]

[HEADING=2]FBI: Attacker wanted to hold Nancy Pelosi hostage, planned to break her knee caps[/HEADING]

The man who [broke into the home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi]('https://www.yahoo.com/news/speaker-pelosi-husband-paul-violently-assaulted-san-francisco-home-125621392.html') and attacked her husband with a hammer told authorities he planned on breaking her kneecaps and he viewed her as “the leader of the pack” of lies told by the Democratic Party,[ according to court documents]('https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1548106/download').

In the criminal complaint released Monday, an FBI special agent stated that during DePape’s interview with police, he claimed that he was going to hold Nancy Pelosi hostage and talk to her. If she told the truth, he would let her go, but if she lied, he would break her kneecaps. DePape said his assumption was that Pelosi would lie to him, and he viewed her as the “‘leader of the pack’ of lies told by the Democratic Party,” according to the complaint.

“DePape also later explained that by breaking Nancy’s kneecaps, she would then have to be wheeled into Congress, which would show other members of Congress there were consequences to actions,” read the filing.

After Paul Pelosi called 911, DePape allegedly said he did not leave “because, much like the American Founding Fathers with the British, he was fighting against tyranny without the option of surrender.” Police claim he reiterated this sentiment elsewhere in the interview.

According to the complaint, DePape said he was planning on restraining Pelosi with zip ties. When the police arrived, Pelosi ran to the door and opened it. The two wrestled over the hammer DePape had brought into the residence, and DePape allegedly struck Pelosi with the hammer.
============
But he was a hero by some for attacking an 80 year..

What rumor. This one?

What rumor. This one?

no - this one:
[HEADING=2]No, there was not two hammers.[/HEADING]
On Friday, San Francisco Police Chief William Scott held a very short five-minute press conference where he used an awkward phrase to describe the altercation witnessed by police.

“They encountered an adult male and Mrs. Pelosi’s husband Paul,” Chief William Scott said at the press conference. “Our officers observed Mr. Pelosi and the suspect both holding a hammer. The suspect pulled the hammer away from Mr. Pelosi and violently assaulted him with it.”

That phrase, “both holding a hammer,” can be taken to mean two different things: That both men were each holding a hammer or that both men were holding onto one hammer. Scott didn’t take any questions after the press conference, leading many people to believe that perhaps they both had hammers. Even after there was clarification in the media, right wing influencers kept insisting that both of them had hammers.

D’Souza helped spread the conspiracy theory [tweeting]('https://twitter.com/DineshDSouza/status/1586579693095899137'), “Where did they BOTH get their hammers? #PaulPelosi” But they were struggling over just one hammer, according to every news outlet that’s since clarified what happened.

and this one:

[HEADING=2]No, the attacker was not in his underwear.[/HEADING]
The idea that Pelosi’s attacker was in his underwear caught fire because a Fox News clip claiming as much went viral on Twitter. But Fox News was just parroting what another news outlet [KTVU]('https://www.ktvu.com/news/alleged-pelosi-intruder-has-manifesto-of-conspiracy-theories-sources'), had published. The news article erroneously reported that Pelosi’s attacker was in his underwear but was corrected and now reads, “CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story misstated what clothing the suspect was wearing when officers found him.”

But that didn’t stop people like Donald Trump Jr. from posting a photo to Instagram showing a pair of underwear and a hammer, saying it would be a good Halloween costume. Dinesh D’Souza also [tweeted]('https://twitter.com/DineshDSouza/status/1586574607871401985') over the weekend that Pelosi and the attacker were both in their underwear.

“It’s one thing for Paul Pelosi to be in his underwear. It’s his own home and it was very early on the morning. The remarkable thing is his assailant was also in HIS underwear. What does that tell you that the media isn’t telling you?” D’Souza tweeted.

In fact, D’Souza tweeted this lie [multiple times]('https://twitter.com/DineshDSouza/status/1586577950454915072'), claiming, “From the police dispatch recording: Speaking of the assailant, #PaulPelosi ‘advised that his name is David and that he is a friend.’ A FRIEND! Now I understand better why both men were in their underwear.”

D’Souza’s tweet is bullshit, but it does lead us to the next question on our list: Whether Pelosi knew the attacker and was a “friend.”

Did you read what you copied and pasted? (Both holding a hammer). This is the way it’s written in the officers report.
I here this was one of them?
And yes the police report says in his underwear. Well he was sleeping don’t you think? Can’t you see through anything?
But back at the ranch Alder Abuse is between peeps that know one another “Giggity Batman”.

[HEADING=2]N Korea fires 23 missiles, prompting air raid alert in South[/HEADING]

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Air raid sirens sounded on a South Korean island and residents evacuated to underground shelters after North Korea fired more than 20 missiles Wednesday, at least one of them in its direction and landing near the rivals’ tense sea border. South Korea quickly responded by launching its own missiles in the same border area.

The launches came hours after North Korea threatened to use nuclear weapons to get the U.S. and South Korea to “pay the most horrible price in history” in protest of [ongoing South Korean-U.S. military drills]('https://apnews.com/article/south-korea-north-ronald-reagan-government-and-politics-50ae287a4160f36e0e9858c327725972') that it views as an invasion rehearsal.

Wow - is 1979 coming back? Sadly inflation is twice that, so don't feel like you're getting a deal.

He's gonna be the best CEO ever..... :ROFLMAO:
