Secretary of State Mike Pompeo confirmed Tuesday that al Qaeda’s number-two leader was killed last year in Iran, which Pompeo said has become the terror group’s primary base of operations in recent years.
“Al Qaeda has a new home base: the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Pompeo said during a small gathering at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
Al Qaeda leader Abu Muhammad al-Masri, who was on the FBI’s most wanted list, was eliminated in the streets of Tehran in August of last year, Pompeo said, confirming media reports at the time. This is the first time the U.S. government has publicly acknowledged al-Masri’s death.
The United States is now offering up to $7 million for information leading to the identification of al Qaeda leader Abd Al-Rahman al-Maghrebi, who Pompeo said is currently hiding in Iran. Al-Maghrebi is the head of al Qaeda’s media arm and oversees the group’s activities worldwide.
If you’re going to be shameless don’t be a bit shameless. From tonight, when you look up “shameless” in a dictionary, you will see only the Twitter logo.
Ahead of the Ugandan election, we're hearing reports that Internet service providers are being ordered to block social media and messaging apps.
We strongly condemn internet shutdowns – they are hugely harmful, violate basic human rights and the principles of the #OpenInternet.

A Dutch TV network has filmed border officials confiscating ham sandwiches and other foods from drivers arriving in the Netherlands from the UK, under post-Brexit rules.
The officials were shown explaining import regulations imposed since the UK formalised its separation from the EU.
Under EU rules, travellers from outside the bloc are banned from bringing in meat and dairy products.
Some, like the BBC, are dressing this up as a Brexit thing. The truth this is how the parochial EU has always approached the rest of the world. A British trucker having his lunch confiscated is a microcosm of the protectionist barriers which have impoverished millions of farmers across the develooping world and hugely increased non-EU food prices for everyone in the EU.
Glad to be out of it.
We are enjoying a nice conversation about the shutting down of Parler. You may find it informative to hear both sides of what is going on. For your education and to arm you with the facts from both sides the video below is Dan Bongino, one of the Owners of Parler. To argue a position intelligently you should know the views of both sides. To those of you who can not tolerate to hear the other side I beg of you swallow your bile and listen. This event and this issue is more important than the weight you are giving it.

But the shot that still may start a civil war…….
As of Midnight last night 20 Million people had there communications shut off because a Corporation doesn’t like their Politics…… but that’s Ok they’re a corporation so if they refuse to honor their contracts and refuse to allow people to communicate on the phone lines they own well that’s just fine and to bad.
Parler has been shut down by 3 corporations working in Harmony to SILENCE SPEECH that they don’t like. F those 20 Million people. They have no right to speak,
Things are quickly building, As big Tech shuts down speech, Nancy with the plastic face is moving forward to Impeach Trump AFTER he leaves office. Why…. because if he’s found Guilty this time one of the Penalties of Impeachment is he can’t ever hold elected office again. She has said that is her goal.
Political Persecutions lead to Violence. Last night 20 Million people were Politically Persecuted in the U.S.
How many of you are laughing about it?
Big Tech's assault on Parler proves it's gone full cartel https://t.co/jzYdzLcyZA via @nypost

Just the ramblings of an old soul.
This time of year is hard for me. The seasons effect me as they do us all, and as I’ve grown older that effect is only enhanced.
The new year begins, the insanity of the holidays are done, the aftermath cleaned up and the air is very lite and cold. We get very little snow in my state, yes the occasional monster will drop snow on us, but for the most part it rains in Pennsylvania year round with a 3 to 5 month bloc of the year where it will raise above freezing to rain just to drop back below freezing after it’s done.
With my body this is hell, but I would be hard pressed to ever leave my country, and Pennsylvania is my home country, so I deal with the weather. From now until March I will pace in my tin box waiting for the cage door to open and I can pass through it and get to the water with a rod in hand. My true church, alone at night at a pond or lake, rod in hand I talk to god as I stand alone in his creation. This is my routine 1 night a week when the temp is between 45-55f, then twice a week as it gets warmer, by the time summer is kicking it’s almost every night. Then as the temp cools it goes in reverse.
But now the cage is locked and the cold holds me in it’s teeth gnashing at my body and my spirit is locked in this box.
Soon though the seasons like time and tides keep their own schedule and inevitably flow along their paths regardless of the will or wants of man. So I partake in the beauty of the cycle…. and appreciate the fact that there is a time and a season for all things…. this time of year is just one.
