Virginia AG: Testing eliminates pre-2014 rape kit backlog

Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring says the first phase of a $3.4 million effort to eliminate the state's rape kit backlog is complete.

Herring announced in a statement Wednesday that testing is complete on 1,770 previously untested kits that were collected before 2014, including some that went untested for decades.

As a result of the testing, officials say 239 "hits" were sent to law enforcement agencies for further investigation, including 144 that confirmed the identity of a previously known suspect and 56 in cases that had been previously cleared by arrest. Officials say at least 58 cases have been reopened for investigation or are currently under review for potential reopening.

The testing also led to 568 DNA profiles being uploaded into CODIS, the national Combined DNA Index System.

NSA Bolton: 'We Don't Have Any Illusions' on North Korea

Amid reports from "commercial" satellite images North Korea is rebuilding nuclear weapons testing sites and planning to test a ballistic missile, National Security Adviser John Bolton demurred the knowledge of "experts and pundits" is more advanced than that of the U.S. government.

The U.S. knows the score, knows the "mistakes of prior administrations" with North Korea, is working to make real progress, and finally, "the leverage is on our side right now," Bolton told ABC's "This Week."

"The president has been very clear he is not going to make the mistakes of prior administrations, and one of the mistakes of prior administrations was assuming the North Koreans would automatically comply when they undertake obligations," Bolton told host Martha Raddatz. "The North Koreans, for example, have pledged to give up their nuclear weapons program at least five separate times, beginning in 1992 with the joint North-South Denuclearization Agreement. They never seem to get around to it, though, so that's one reason why we pay particular attention to what North Korea is doing all the time.

"We see exactly what they're doing now. We see it unblinkingly, and we don't have any illusions about what their capabilities are."

Another test of a ballistic missile would be a deal-breaker from what President Donald Trump and North Korea Chairman Kim Jong Un have established in two prior summits – firsts for American leadership amid years of denuclearization efforts.

"As the president said, he'd be pretty disappointed if Kim Jong Un went ahead and did something like that," Bolton said of a feared missile test after a year of none. "The president said repeatedly he feels the absence of nuclear tests, the absence of ballistic missile launches is a positive sign, and he's used that really as a part of his effort to persuade Kim Jong Un that he has to go for what the president called 'The Big Deal: Complete Denuclearization.'"

The fact President has to walk away from the most recent summit with Kim should not be a cause for alarm, nor surprising, Bolton added.

"Nothing in the proliferation game surprises me anymore," he said. "I think Kim Jong Un has a very clear idea where the president stands, what the objectives the president is trying to achieve are.

"It's why the decision to walk away in a friendly way, as the president put it, from the Hanoi Summit was important for Kim Jong Un to understand the president – despite what a lot of the experts and pundits say – is not under pressure to make any deal.

"He wants to make the right deal, and he described it to Kim Jong Un at the Hanoi meeting."

Bolton concluded President Trump has worked to gain leverage on the long failed hope of North Korean denuclearization.

"The historical lesson is time is inevitably on the side of the proliferator in the long run," he said. "Right now I think it's the president's judgment, and I think it's correct, that the economic leverage that we have because of the sanctions puts the pressure on North Korea.

"Now it's one reason why all of the pundits and all of the experts predicting a deal in Hanoi were wrong, because the leverage is on our side right now, not on North Korea's."

Poland may cancel visit to Israel amid new Holocaust spat

A government official says Poland is considering pulling out altogether from a visit to Israel over a comment made by the acting Israeli foreign minister, the latest in a bitter new Holocaust spat between the two nations.

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki already pulled out of the meeting Monday and Tuesday to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by leaders from Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Foreign Minister Jacek Czaputowicz was tapped to go in his place.

On Monday, Michal Dworczyk, the head Morawiecki's office, said Czaputowicz's attendance is now in doubt over comments made by Israel Katz, the acting foreign minister.

Katz said Sunday that Poles "sucked anti-Semitism from their mothers' milk," citing something once said by former Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, whose father was murdered by Poles.

Mother: 5th grader who died after fight hit head on shelf

The mother of a fifth grader who died after a fight at her South Carolina elementary school said other students in her class have told her she hit her head on a bookshelf.

Ashley Wright told Good Morning America that she is frustrated by the lack of answers after her 10-year-old daughter Raniya died in the hospital two days after the March 25 fight at Forest Hills Elementary School in Walterboro.

"I want to know everything," Wright said "And they didn't have no answers for me at all."

The Colleton County School District released a statement last week saying they understand everyone is looking for answers, but it is critical to let the criminal investigation into the fight and the girl's death to finish before more information is released.

Prosecutor Duffie Stone said on March 29, the day of the girl's autopsy, that investigators need to test tissue and other samples taken from her which will take weeks, and charges may not be filed.

Other students in Raniya's class told her family that the other fifth grader involved in the fight had been bothering Raniya all day before coming up behind her and hitting or pushing her, Ashley Wright said.

"She pushed her or rammed her head or something into a bookshelf," Ashley Wright said.

The other fifth grader has been suspended. Her name and age have not been released.

State Sen. Margie Bright Matthews, who represents the area around the school, said she has talked to law enforcement, school officials, the substitute teacher in the class that day, and family members of both students.

Bright Matthews praised law enforcement, saying they separated the students in the classroom and questioned them all two separate times before they went home following the fight.

The Democratic senator said she was told the fight appeared to be just a small scuffle that was broken up, there were not repeated blows to anyone's head, and Raniya appeared OK after the altercation.

Raniya began complaining of a headache later in the principal's office, threw up and then lost consciousness, Bright Matthews said.

Ashley Wright said she got a call from the school nurse who said her daughter was complaining of dizziness and a headache. She said Raniya didn't have any serious medical conditions before the fight, but by the time she made it to the school, things had gotten much worse.

"No one called me back," Ashley Wright said. "All I saw was my daughter hooked to all these machines and cords."

President Trump Can End Big Tech’s Treasonous Censorship with a Single Signature… Here’s How

There is a simple, powerful way that President Trump can end Big Tech’s evil censorship with a single signature. It requires no act of Congress, no regulatory action and no criminal prosecution (although, at this point, it seems that criminally prosecuting Google for election meddling would be justified as a separate action).

The move requires nothing more than Trump’s signature on an executive order that cancels and prohibits all federal contracts with large-scale internet platforms that refuse to protect the First Amendment rights of all Americans. In a single signature, President Trump could end all government contracts with Google, Twitter, YouTube, Apple and other dominant online platforms that are now maliciously de-platforming users for expressing conservative or Christian views.

The President, in fact, just issued a similar executive order demanding that universities respect free speech or find themselves terminated from all government grants. The strategy is aggressive and effective. Those universities which choose to engage in the un-American practice of suppressing speech for political reasons will quickly find themselves cut off from federal funds. Now, President Trump needs to direct the same tactic at the tech giants.

I explain how this would work in the video below:

Brighteon.com/6017852129001

If that doesn’t work, just seize the domain names of Google, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube

If the tech giants still refuse to play fair and respect the speech of all Americans, then President Trump can simply order to U.S. State Department to seize the domain names of these companies until they agree to respect the First Amendment.

He doesn’t even have to initiate the seizure. He merely needs to threaten to seize all those domains as a way to force these companies to sign a consent decree with the Dept. of Justice, where they agree to respect First Amendment protections of all users as a condition of being allowed to operate in the United States of America. If that tactic doesn’t ring a bell, let me remind you that the Obama administration, after accusing police departments of being “racist” for daring to arrest black people who committed crimes, demanded those police departments sign consent decrees with the U.S. Dept. of Justice. In these agreements, the city police departments agreed to adhere to “equality” guidelines that hilariously required them to treat people un-equally, based on the color of their skin. The goal was to reduce arrests of black people and increase arrests of white people to make policing appear “less racist.” (Yes, only under Leftists policies could systematic bigotry against white people be called “equality.”)

Now, the left-wing tech giants are engaged in widespread bigotry that threatens the very future of this nation. Thanks to the de-platforming efforts of Google, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Apple and others, people are now being discriminated against based on the color of their ideas rather than the color of their skin. Those who hold Christian beliefs are doubly targeted for de-platforming efforts happily carried out by the bigoted Leftists who run the dominant search engines and social media platforms.

The tech giants all took part in an attempted insurrection against the United States of America

The U.S. Dept. of Justice has the power to threaten these corporations with criminal indictments, investigations and even seizure of assets if they engage in the routine discrimination of Americans based on political or religious views. If that’s not enough, the DOJ can correctly assert that all of these tech companies actively took part in an attempted insurrection against the United States government through complicity with the now-collapsed Russia collusion hoax. It is factually correct to say that Google, Facebook, YouTube, Apple and Twitter all conspired to steal the 2018 mid-term elections for Democrats. And they are now attempting to steal the 2020 election away from Trump.

These are criminal offenses by powerful, dangerous corporations which have maliciously asserted control over nearly all public conversations involving politics or religion. They must be halted, criminally indicted and then dismantled and banished from our society.

President Trump can begin by issuing an executive order denying all federal funds to these insidious, anti-American corporations. The next step would be to seize their domain names. And the ultimate end game here is to seek criminal indictments of the CEOs of these companies (Jack Dorsey, a jail cell is waiting with your name on it) and prosecute them for RICO Act racketeering violations.

Listen to my recent podcast for more details on how this would work:

Brighteon.com/6017784233001

Join me in calling for the shut-down of Google, Facebook, Twitter, Apple and YouTube. These are all evil corporations that have abused their power to discriminate against hundreds of millions of Americans. They no longer deserve the opportunity to operate as corporations in the United States of America.

Rights group: Bahraini authorities abuse, torture detainees

A Bahraini rights group says sexual abuse and torture are widespread and systematic in jails in the Gulf island nation.

The SALAM for Democracy and Human Rights group released a 30-page report Thursday, documenting abuses it says "use the most intimate and personal parts of a person in order to inflict suffering."

The report was released in Beirut as the group is barred from Bahrain.

At the release, Bahraini citizen Ebrahim Sarhan recounted the torture he was subjected to in 2017, describing how he was stripped naked in front of other inmates as officials threatened to "bring in a bottle" — a veiled threat of sodomy.

Bahrain, which is conducting a yearslong crackdown on dissent, has dismissed such allegations in the past. It didn't respond to requests for comment.

BERLIN (Reuters) – Wulf Matthias will not stand for a second term as Wirecard’s chairman in 2020, German daily Handelsblatt said on Friday, citing sources in the financial industry.

For age reasons alone this would not be an option for Matthias, aged 75, Handelsblatt added.

Matthias will keep his mandate until it ends in 2020, the paper quoted a company spokeswoman as saying.

Wirecard was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Reuters.

ZURICH (Reuters) – Shareholders approved Credit Suisse’s 2018 compensation report with an 82 percent majority on Friday, overriding frustrations expressed at its annual general meeting over jumps in executive pay during a year its share price plummeted.

Three shareholder advisers had recommended investors vote against Switzerland’s second-biggest bank’s remuneration report, while a fourth backed the report but expressed reservations about whether management pay matched performance.

The approval marked a slight increase over the 80.8 percent support garnered for the bank’s 2017 compensation report.

LONDON (Reuters) – Activist investor Edward Bramson is likely to fail in his attempt to get a board seat at Barclays’ annual meeting next week, even though shareholders are dissatisfied with performance of the group’s investment bank.

New York-based Bramson’s Sherborne Investors and the board of the British bank have been sparring for months over Barclays’ strategy.

Bramson wants to scale back Barclays’ investment bank to reduce risk and boost shareholder returns. Barclays Chief Executive Jes Staley remains staunchly committed to growing the business out of trouble.

After failing to persuade Staley to change course since he began building a 5.5 percent stake in the bank in March last year, Bramson hopes a board seat will rachet up the pressure.

Both sides have written to shareholders pitching their case and Bramson has courted investors in one-on-one meetings, although none have publicly backed him yet.

Interviews by Reuters with five institutional investors in Barclays suggest Bramson has failed to persuade them.

Sherborne declined to comment.

Mirza Baig, head of investment stewardship at top-40 shareholder Aviva Investors, said Bramson was welcome on the bank’s register but the boardroom was a step too far.

“He has created a lot of value at other businesses, but, generally, when he has come in as executive chair and taken full control. This would be a different case where he would just be one lone voice on the board,” he said.

A second Barclays shareholder said he backed Bramson’s goal of improving returns but via an “evolutionary” approach.

“If you look at banks that have tried to restructure their operations in investment banking – you look at Natwest Markets, Deutsche Bank – I struggle to think of an example where a roughshod restructuring has been accretive to shareholder value.”

A third, top-30 investor said he had been impressed by incoming Chairman Nigel Higgins’ grasp of the challenge in hand, and felt investors would give him time.

“Management know they have to execute and deliver improved returns… [Higgins] will continue to re-shape the board but obviously he didn’t feel that having someone with a diametrically opposed view on it would be helpful.”

A fourth, top-30 investor agreed: “We voted for the chairman to come in and it would be crazy to allow an activist to join the board (at this time).”

Jupiter Fund Management, the 24th largest investor, said it also planned to vote against Bramson.

Barclays has nearly 500 institutional shareholders, Refinitiv data showed.

Since Staley joined Barclays in 2015, the investment bank returns relative to capital invested have increased but are still underperforming the overall business.

Barclays’ first-quarter figures showed the investment bank posted a 6 percent drop in income from its markets business and a 17 percent fall in banking advisory fees.

Returns in the investment bank fell to 9.5 percent from 13.2 percent a year ago.

Famed for successful campaigns against smaller British companies in sectors from chemicals to advertising, Bramson’s board seat pitch has been rebuffed by shareholder advisory firms.

Institutional Shareholder Services, the world’s biggest, said Bramson’s proposal “falls short of what can reasonably be expected from a shareholder trying to address issues at a 28 billion pounds, systemically important bank”.

Glass Lewis also flagged concern about Bramson’s lack of banking experience and “questionable” shareholding structure, referring to Sherborne’s use of derivative contracts to hedge losses should its strategy fail.

Critics said the arrangement meant his interests are not truly aligned with those of other long-term shareholders.

British advisory firm Pirc, however, said it recommended that investors abstain in the vote on Bramson’s proposal as a challenge to the board to do better in the year ahead – or face a similar contest in 2020.

April 26, 2019

(Reuters) – U.S. oil and natural gas producer Chevron Corp reported a 27 percent fall in quarterly earnings on Friday, hit by lower crude prices and weaker margins in its refining and chemicals businesses.

Net income attributable to the company fell to $2.65 billion, or $1.39 per share, for the first quarter ended March 31, from $3.64 billion, or $1.90 per share, a year earlier.

Earlier in the day, larger rival Exxon Mobil Corp reported earnings well below analysts’ estimates, as margins in its refining business were hurt by higher Canadian prices and heavy scheduled maintenance.
