A car heist gone awry.

A would-be carjacker in Kent, Wash. was served up a little asphalt-heavy justice late last week, as he was dragged by the driver of a vehicle.

Twitter users @Sahrmoiwo1 and @SukkChahal captured the bizarre scene, which took place near an elementary school, local news station KIRO 7 reports.

When the SUV comes into the frame, the man is being dragged with his hands stuck in the door handle. As the vehicle comes to a stop, the man gets up — with a visibly road-burned backside — and attempts to get into the vehicle.

The driver quickly speeds off, pulling the would-be-thief once more, after he tries to keep up on his feet for a couple of strides.

The video ends as the vehicle comes to a stop, and another vehicle incidentally blocks the camera angle the Twitter users had.

Kent police told KIRO 7 that the man dragged through the streets was the suspect in several attempted carjackings and was arrested.

He was taken to a hospital for treatment.

There were also other victims with minor injuries in the melee. Police told KIRO 7 that the suspect allegedly attacked them.

The man also allegedly punched other vehicles and attempted to break door handles.

The case is under investigation.

>According to LifeNews, Sofía Vergara and her ex-fiance have been in a multi-year legal battle over the fate of their two human embryos, whom they named Emma and Isabella, which has now finally come to a close with a federal judge dismissing the case.

>"Vergara and ex-fiance Nick Loeb have been fighting for more than two years about the fate of their frozen embryos, who Loeb named Emma and Isabella," reports LifeNews. "Loeb wants the girls to have a chance to live, while the 'Modern Family' actress wants them to remain frozen or be destroyed. The couple had the embryos created several years ago for in vitro fertilization, but the couple later split."

>Loeb now believes that life begins at conception and does not want the embryos destroyed, and now argues that "Vergara’s parental rights should be terminated and Loeb given full custody of the girls" so he can implant them into a surrogate mother. He claims that Vergara promised him not to destroy the embryos, a verbal agreement that he says will be broken.

>“I created these two female embryos with the purpose of taking them to term and not destruction, because I have always dreamed of being a father,” Loeb said in 2015. “I have previously offered to waive any parental or financial responsibilities on the part of my ex. … When a man does want to become a father, and wants to impose no obligations on the other party, he should have that corresponding right.”

>Vergara is taking the "act of mercy" stance, claiming the children cannot exist without a loving household.

>“A child needs a mother and a loving relationship with parents that get along, that don’t hate each other. .... Kids need parents,” Vergara said.

Recent polling by the company showed many consumers want to eat more vegetable-based dishes

Aramark chefs will learn to cook plant-based dishes

One of the world's leading catering companies has launched a plant-based training program to teach more than 1,000 of its chefs to cook tasty, healthy, vegan meals.

Aramark, which describes itself as a 'global leader in food, facilities, and uniforms' has joined forces with charity The Humane Society of the United States [HSUS] in order to provide the training.

According to Aramark, the initiative to conduct a series of plant-based culinary trainings over the next six months, is 'part of its ongoing efforts to develop strategies that increase plant-based food offerings for consumers'.
Plant-based

According to a spokesperson: "Currently, as part of its Healthy for Life 20 By 20 commitment with the American Heart Association, 30 per cent of the main dishes Aramark serves across its dining operations in Healthcare, Higher Education, and Business Dining are vegan or vegetarian, and 10 per cent feature whole grains as their main ingredient.

"The goal of the new training partnership is to further enable the company's 1000+ chefs who serve millions of meals daily in hospitals, schools, and workplaces to create meals, menus and dining concepts that center on foods including vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts.

"The curriculum will be developed together with The HSUS and Aramark's culinary leadership, including culinary teams at accounts the company serves. Aramark will also engage with its external advisors, including health & wellness, environmental and animal welfare organizations, to track and report its progress on plant-based food offerings following these trainings."

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un was the target of a Chinese-backed coup attempt in 2012 that has damaged relations between the to countries and has led to missile provocations against China.

http://www.trunews.com/article/report-china-tried-to-assassinate-kim-jong-un

The Nikkei Asian Review, a Japanese business journal, reported last week that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un had his half-brother murdered earlier this year in response to a 2012 Chinese plot to replace him in a coup. When President Xi Jinping told President Donald Trump his country didn’t have the sway over North Korea that everyone assumed, he may have been telling the truth. According to the report, relations between China and its diminutive neighbor are at “all-time lows” because of the aforementioned plot. The report states:

>The drama began on Aug. 17, 2012 with a meeting in Beijing between Kim Jong Un's uncle Jang Song-thaek, who … is said to have proposed a plot to oust Kim Jong-un and replace him with his elder half-brother Kim Jong-nam with China's backing. It was a dramatic proposal, but Hu was not in a position to give a definitive answer. Just days before, at the annual Beidaihe gathering with party elders, his predecessor and rival Jiang Zemin had exposed a scandal involving Hu's right-hand man Ling Jihua, severely weakening Hu's position … Having learned of Jang's plot through a wiretap, [Zhou Yongkang] secretly informed Kim Jong-un … Upon hearing of the treachery, the North Korean leader flew into a rage and at the end of 2013, his uncle was executed. Kim Jong Nam, the elder brother who Jang had favored, was murdered with a super-toxic nerve agent at Kuala Lumpur International airport on February 13 this year.

The report also suggests that recent North Korean missile provocations have been aimed at China just as much as the U.S. It notes that a May intermediate-range missile test was meant to send a message from Kim to Xi: Our new ballistic missile can strike anywhere in China

>Joshua Witt, 26, called police on Aug. 16 from the Steak ‘n Shake at 3502 S. River Point Parkway.

>He told detectives he got out of his vehicle when a black man in his mid-20s wearing a green shirt and blue pants came up to him and asked, “Are you one of them neo-Nazi?” before trying to stab him with a small knife.

>Witt told police that he was stabbed in his left hand while trying to defend himself. He said the man took off toward the bike path along the South Platte River.

>Witt posted details of the stabbing on social media, claiming his haircut might have been the reason he was attacked. Witt also conducted several interviews with the media.

>But investigators reviewed surveillance video from the area that showed no suspect running from the scene.

>Other video showed Witt leaving a nearby sporting good store after he purchased a small knife, police said.

>The man Witt had described as the “suspect” was found to be a nearby transient who was cleared of any involvement, police said.

>In a follow-up interview on Thursday, police showed Witt the video of him purchasing the knife.

Joy Villa Is Given 48 Hours to Remove 'Make America Great Again' Song for Violating YouTube Standards

While the video has been up for weeks, on Saturday, Villa tweeted that YouTube took her video down, which she re-uploaded about an hour later and tweeted, “I refuse to be silenced.”
The singer later tweeted a letter she received from YouTube informing her that the streaming site received a complaint and she had 48 hours to edit the video or it would be removed again.
Villa argued that she had written consent from every person in the video, however, per the letter, YouTube claimed “we cannot accept or review agreements granting consent before the video was uploaded,” and added that the video can still be removed.
While the complaint was once “nameless,” YouTube eventually revealed to Villa the time stamp of the video that allegedly violated its privacy policy and she blurred the woman's face.
Since singer Joy Villa rocked the red carpet of the Grammy's in a “Make America Great Again” dress, she hasn't been shy about her support for President Donald Trump or love for her country.
On Independence Day, Villa released her newest song, “Make America Great Again,” and although it's title is Trump's campaign slogan, the video, which was released a few weeks ago, makes no reference to the president at all.
“YouTube is censoring Pro America artists,” the singer added.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
One year after the Cajun Navy fleet deployed to pluck stranded families from the flood waters that overwhelmed southeast Louisiana, the volunteer rescuers have mobilized again to help in the Houston area after heavy flooding from Tropical Storm Harvey.

A second wave of volunteers with the group gathered in Baton Rouge on Monday to head to the Houston area to provide additional support.

The group made it into Houston early Monday morning, poised to assist with rescue efforts in a region devastated by flooding due to Harvey.

The Cajun Navy is blasting social media with messages for help as neighbors in Texas face the same devastating flooding.

“We're planning a large push to head in probably in the next day or so when things calm down about. It's just something we have to play by ear a bit and see how the weather cooperates,” Jon Bridgers Sr., an organizer in charge of the Cajun Navy 2016 Facebook page, said Sunday.

Bridgers said he and others set out with boats towards Houston on Sunday but did not make it far. He said about 40 miles outside the city, the roads are impassable and that most of their volunteers can’t get through. However, he said some have made it and are doing their best to help.

“We have been given the GREEN LIGHT to enter your area. This is what we need from YOU ALL. We are here to search and rescue,” wrote Gary Davis in another Facebook group.

Bridgers returned home to monitor calls for help and to help organize volunteers online.

Like the great flood of 2016, many families trapped in Houston are turning to social media, posting horrific pictures of families trapped by high water, pleading for help. Most posts include addresses and phone numbers. One video has been circulating of Montel Williams relaying information about a man in a broken wheelchair needing assistance.

>The family of Zanele Hlatshwayo, 25, who has been missing since July, believe she was a victim of a cannibalism ring that has so far led to the arrest of five men.

>Her decomposing body was found after a man who claimed to be a traditional healer handed himself over to police last week and confessed that he was tired of eating human flesh.

>Police officers had initially dismissed his statement, according to reports.

>It is only after he produced a bloodied hand and foot as proof that he was immediately arrested. He led them to his rented home, where police found eight human ears in a cooking pot.

>It is believed they were to be served to his customers, who were told they had magic properties and would convey money, power and protection.

>Several other body parts were found stuffed in a suitcase.

>The traditional healer lived in a rented hut in Rensburgdrift near Escourt.

>He rented the hut from Philani Magubane, whose brother was also arrested for being the traditional healer's alleged accomplice.

>"I was shocked to find out that my younger brother fell for the traditional healer's fairytales - he promised them wealth when he was just as poor as I am," Mr Magubane told me.

>He said that one his tenants had been complaining about the smell of rotting meat that was coming from his next door neighbour.

>It is alleged that he sent the young men to dig graves in the middle of the night so he could make magic charms known locally as "muti".

>"Most residents were shocked by this and now live in fear," but Mr Majola says others were not surprised.

>"A few confessed to have consulted with the traditional healer and knowingly ate human flesh," he said.

>"But what has angered most of us here is how gullible our people have become," saying that Mkhonyovu's customers were livestock thieves who were told he could make them invincible, even bulletproof, so that the police could not shoot them, said Mr Majola.

https://www.axios.com/exclusive-trump-vents-in-oval-office-i-want-tariffs-bring-me-some-tariffs-2478121273.html

The following is a rare account of President Trump in a small Oval Office meeting, venting at senior staff for sometimes resisting his hawkish trade agenda.

This account — confirmed by sources with knowledge of the meeting and undisputed by the White House — hints at where Trump may be heading with his trade agenda. And it shows he believes some of his top economic advisors are resisting his agenda because they are "globalists."

The scene: The Oval Office, during Gen. Kelly's first week as Chief of Staff. Kelly convened a meeting to discuss the administration's plans to investigate China for stealing American intellectual property and technology. Kelly stood beside Trump, behind the Resolute desk. In front of the desk were U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, senior trade adviser Peter Navarro, top economic adviser Gary Cohn, and Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon.

Trump, addressing Kelly, said, "John, you haven't been in a trade discussion before, so I want to share with you my views. For the last six months, this same group of geniuses comes in here all the time and I tell them, 'Tariffs. I want tariffs.' And what do they do? They bring me IP. I can't put a tariff on IP." (Most in the room understood that the president can, in fact, use tariffs to combat Chinese IP theft.)

"China is laughing at us," Trump added. "Laughing."

Kelly responded: "Yes sir, I understand, you want tariffs."

Gary Cohn, who opposes tariffs and the protectionist trade measures pushed by the Bannonites, had his shoulders slumped and was clearly appalled by the situation.

Staff secretary Rob Porter, who is a key mediator in such meetings, said to the president: "Sir, do you not want to sign this?" He was referring to Trump's memo prodding Lighthizer to investigate China — which may lead to tariffs against Beijing.

The Antifa thug posse, whom the media seems utterly convinced poses no harm to the nation, will now host violent anti-cop workshops as part of their new Philadelphia cell, according to the Daily Caller.
Called "Our Enemies in Blue," the workshops openly call for violence against police where convicted felons are held up for emulation. Various Antifa websites, including It’s Going Down, Sub.Media and Insurrection News, have already promoted it as a "Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement" (RAM),
According the group's press release, they plan to serve as bulwark against mosques that "are being ruthlessly bombed" and the supposed systematic battering of LGBTQ people. "The destruction of black life continues unabated as millions languish in the plantations of the modern day slave system," it states.
Just who are these examples that RAM holds up as revolutionary models? First we have Mumia Abu Jamal, "the Black Panther activist who shot and killed Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981."
Next on the list is Russell Shoats, "who shot a police officer in the back five times in 1970."
Far Left Watch highlighted the many wild goals that RAM seeks to carry out, from the “Abolition of Gender” to the “Expropriation and the Cooperative Economy." Much of this borrows from the leftist guerilla movement known as the Rojava Revolution in northern Syria, who are currently involved in battling ISIS.
The "Our Enemies in Blue" workshops specifically deal with how to handle police during a violent altercation. The Daily Wire has noted several times the media downplayed Antifa violence or celebrated them. At the Washington Post, historian Mark Bray of Dartmouth University championed the group's "willingness to physically defend themselves and others from white supremacist violence."
