| Three-Dozen ISIS Fighters Killed in Series of U.S. Strikes in Libya Posted: 27 Sep 2019 10:26 AM PDT  The U.S. military killed 36 ISIS militants in a series of three airstrikes in Libya over the past eight days, U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) announced Friday."This ongoing campaign against ISIS-Libya demonstrates that U.S. Africa Command persistently targets terrorist networks that seek to harm innocent Libyans," read a statement from AFRICOM's director of intelligence, Navy Rear Admiral Heidi Berg. "We will continue to pursue ISIS-Libya and other terrorists in the region, denying them safe haven to coordinate and plan operations in Libya."Seventeen ISIS members were killed in an airstrike on Thursday in southwest Libya. That strike followed a strike Tuesday near Murzuq that killed eleven jihadis, and a previous strike in the same area late last week that killed eight alleged fighters, AFRICOM said.Tuesday's airstrike "was conducted to eliminate ISIS terrorists and deny them the ability to conduct attacks on the Libyan people," said AFRICOM's director of operations, U.S. Army Major General William Gayler. "This effort demonstrates the resolve of the U.S. and our Libyan partners to deny safe havens to terrorists."None of the three strikes, which were the first such U.S. operations in Libya in over a year, appear to have caused civilian casualties, according to AFRICOM.

| Iran slams US for barring Zarif from New York hospital visit Posted: 28 Sep 2019 09:57 AM PDT  Iran slammed on Saturday the United States for what it called an "inhumane" decision to bar its foreign minister, who was attending the U.N. summit meetings in New York, from visiting a hospitalized Iranian diplomat in the city. U.S. authorities were not allowing Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to visit U.N. ambassador Majid Takht Ravanchi, who was undergoing cancer treatment in a New York hospital. In July, the U.S. restricted Zarif's movement to just six blocks in New York.

| Canadian police release findings of report into murders of three tourists Posted: 27 Sep 2019 04:06 PM PDT  Two dead Canadian teens who were the subject of an intense manhunt this summer confessed to the murders of three tourists in northern Canada in a series of videos, but did not reveal a motive behind their actions or indicate remorse, Canadian police said on Friday. The bodies of Bryer Schmegelsky, 18, and Kam McLeod, 19, were found on Aug. 7 after a two week-long search that began in northern British Columbia and ended in the remote and hostile terrain of northern Manitoba, three provinces and several thousand kilometers (miles) away. The pair were first reported as missing after leaving their hometown of Port Alberni, British Columbia, in search of work.

| Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and Trevor Noah gawk as Trump loses it over whistleblowers and impeachment Posted: 27 Sep 2019 02:15 AM PDT ![Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and Trevor Noah gawk as Trump loses it over whistleblowers and impeachment]( "Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and Trevor Noah gawk as Trump loses it over whistleblowers and impeachment") "Last night, I compared the president's behavior to The Sopranos, but today it seems more like Six Feet Under, because somebody finally pulled the fire alarm in hell," Jimmy Kimmel said on Thursday's Kimmel Live. "The much-anticipated complaint against the president has been unearthed, and if this isn't it, nothing will be. This grabs Trump by the McNuggets and it doesn't ask permission."Trump threw "a little tantrum on the tarmac" for reporters, Kimmel said, and "lashed out directly at the whistleblower and the person who turned him in to the whistleblower -- which is outrageous -- and he made it very clear that he wants to know who it was that ratted him out," apparently for execution purposes. "He really is spinning out, he's getting increasingly sloppy -- you'd think the guy with the world's most famous combover would be better at a coverup," he said. "Here's my prediction: The only guy who's going down for all this: Rudy Giuliani. When the dust clears, Rudy will be under the bus. ... Having Rudy Giuliani be your middle man -- it's like asking Bill Cosby to chaperone your date."Yes, "they concocted an illegal scheme to extort the Ukrainian government to help them win the 2020 election, and they chose as their go-between Rudy Giuliani," Late Night's Seth Meyers mused. "Honestly, we are so lucky these guys are terrible at coverups," he said. And "now that things are getting really bad, they're trying to pin it on each other, with the White House blaming Rudy, Rudy blaming the State Department, and Trump blaming Pence. In fact, if both Trump and Pence get removed from office, the next person in the line of succession would be Nancy Pelosi, in which case it would actually be true that," as Trump claimed, "she's no longer the speaker of the House."The accusations in the complaint are "really bad for Trump," Trevor Noah said at The Daily Show. "What's even worse is that this entire complaint is only nine pages long, which means people might actually read it. Hell, if it had a few pictures, Trump himself might even read it." The "biggest revelation," he said, is that Trump's staff stored several problematic Trump phone transcripts on a private server, and while they are still off-limits, The Daily Show created some for your enjoyment.

| Russians Used Greed to ‘Capture’ NRA, Senator Alleges in New Report Posted: 27 Sep 2019 10:30 AM PDT  Pavel Ptitsin/APTies between the National Rifle Association and influential Russians were substantial and potentially lucrative enough to render the politically potent gun lobby an "asset" of Russia, according to a Senate Democrat's year-plus investigation. More than 4,000 pages of NRA records provided to Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the finance committee, documented deep connections between the beleaguered gun group and Maria Butina, who in December pleaded guilty to conspiring to act as a Russian agent without registering with the Justice Department. Wyden's report, released Friday and undertaken without the cooperation of committee Republicans, indicates that greed motivated some NRA officials to engage in the outreach.Butina also made clear to NRA officials long before their controversial Butina-facilitated December 2015 trip to Moscow that Alexander Torshin, her patron and an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was a man with mysterious pull in the Kremlin. She emailed former NRA president David Keene in January 2015 that Torshin's appointment to the Russian central bank was "the result of a 'big game' in which he has a very important role. All the details we can discuss with you only in person."Maria Butina's Boss Alexander Torshin: The Kremlin's No-Longer-Secret Weapon"During the 2016 election, Russian nationals effectively used the promise of lucrative personal business opportunities to capture the NRA and gain access to the American political system," Wyden said. Representatives for the NRA did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In addition to scrutinizing the December 2015 NRA trip, Wyden found that the NRA hosted former Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak for a three-hour tour of its headquarters in August 2015. Kislyak was a key figure in Russia's 2016 election interference before former national security adviser Mike Flynn pleaded guilty to misrepresenting his conversations with him to the FBI. An NRA calendar entry provided to Wyden suggests that NRA leaders took Kislyak hunting at the Grand National Waterfowl Hunt weeks before the Moscow trip. Wyden's report shows the NRA officials, donors, and supporters meeting with Russian officials under U.S. sanctions during the Moscow trip, something previously reported. But it also shows that Butina ensured the NRA would send sufficiently senior leaders, something necessary to enhance Torshin's prestige, by dangling opportunities for NRA luminaries to enrich themselves. While U.S. sanctions do not make meeting with foreigners under sanction illegal, U.S. nationals can't conduct business with them.Returning from Moscow further inclined the NRA to aid its Russian friend Butina, who presented herself as the head of a rare Russian gun-rights foundation. Soon after, the NRA bought Butina and Torshin memberships in a hunters' advocacy group known as Safari Club International. Later, one of the key NRA figures on the Moscow trip, Pete Brownell, confirmed to Wyden that he personally introduced Butina to Donald Trump Jr. at the NRA's 2016 annual meeting, though Brownell's counsel dismissed it as a "chance encounter." Butina would also write to NRA heavies for formal invitations to their events, something she said would help her get visas to enter the country.The NRA has attempted to distance itself from the Moscow trip after it became politically controversial. It told Wyden's office in May that any relationship "certain individuals, including NRA supporters and volunteers" had with Butina and Torshin was entirely distinct from NRA business.Yet Wyden's report shows then-NRA president Allan Cors, who backed out of the trip, contemporaneously referring to it in an email to Torshin as a chance to "represent the NRA" to influential Russians. Among those Russians were Butina's reputed moneyman, Igor Pisarsky, whom Butina presented as Putin's "campaign manager"; the sanctioned Russian deputy prime minister for the defense industry, Dmitry Rogozin; and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Documentation the NRA provided, the report notes, did not show "action to discourage or prevent its officers from using organization resources to explore business opportunities or to meet with sanctioned individuals and entities" during the trip. Cors' absence from the trip was a problem for Butina. Without a senior NRA leader to show off to the influential Russians who had agreed to meetings, Torshin could lose face. "Many powerful figures in the Kremlin are counting on Torshin to prove his American connections—a last minute important member cancellation could affect his political future," she emailed. In November, Butina turned to Brownell, the NRA's then-vice president and Cors' future successor, with an urgent plea for his attendance. Outside the NRA, Brownell runs a business that sells guns, ammunition, and firearms accessories. A Brownell spokesperson told The Daily Beast in February that Brownell took the trip "understanding that it was an NRA-related event organized with the support of the organization." His corporate compliance officer later said Brownell could meet with sanctioned Russians insofar as his trip was not business but an NRA "cultural exchange."But materials Wyden acquired cast doubt on that. Butina, in emails, told Brownell that while it was an NRA trip, "especially for you and your company I have something more." She told him that Russian gun manufacturers "are ready to meet you and talk about export and import deals." Another email, this one from Brownell, records the NRA vice president musing that he was "not interested in attending if [it is] just an NRA trip." In another email, Brownell called the "strictly diplomatic" trip a chance to "introduce our company to the governing individuals throughout Russia." Among the people the NRA met with in Russia were representatives of the Kalashnikov Concern, a weapons manufacturer under U.S. sanctions. The report states that later Brownell explored a deal with someone he met on the trip but ultimately canceled because the Russian was unable to follow proper import-export rules. Brownell recently resigned from the NRA's board, a move seen as part of the organization's recent turmoil. In April, its president Oliver North resigned after losing a power struggle to longtime NRA magnate Wayne LaPierre. The group is locked in bitter litigation with its former ad firm, which might be the least of its legal woes, considering investigations into its tax status by attorneys general in New York and the District of Columbia.A representative for Brownell did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Brownell was not the only one to whom Butina appealed with an offer unrelated to NRA business. Wyden's report corroborated a Daily Beast report that Butina told trip attendee Keene, who was also the Washington Times' opinion editor, that one of the meetings was with a Russian media oligarch who would be able to secure Keene an interview with Putin for the paper.Butina also dangled to the NRA a meeting with Putin himself, though no such meeting appears to have manifested. An email ahead of the trip from Butina's since-indicted boyfriend, the GOP consultant Paul Erickson, to Brownell promised "private meetings with the top ministers in Putin's government and private lunches in oligarch's dachas." Butina fronted money for the attendance of another trip attendee, NRA donor Jim Liberatore, for which the NRA reimbursed her with $6,000 from its president's budget. The NRA was an open door for Butina and Torshin, whose goal was to use the organization as a lever to move U.S. politics in a direction more agreeable to Russian interests. In addition to welcoming the two to the NRA's own events, the NRA aided them in attending other conservative-friendly gatherings, including the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, a staple event for politicians of both parties. Butina asked then-presidential candidate Donald Trump a question about U.S.-Russian relations at a campaign stop in Las Vegas, boasted of being a conduit for his campaign's communications to Russia, and was photographed with prominent GOP politicians like Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. Wyden stopped a step short of recommending the NRA lose its tax-exempt status, citing insufficient cooperation from the group. "A broader review of NRA's activities in recent years" from the IRS was needed to determine if the NRA's Russian connections fit within a "persistent pattern of impermissible conduct," the report concluded. "The totality of evidence uncovered during my investigation, as well as the mounting evidence of rampant self-dealing, indicate the NRA may have violated tax laws. This report lays out in significant detail that the NRA lied about the 2015 delegation trip to Moscow," Wyden said. "This was an official trip undertaken so NRA insiders could get rich—a clear violation of the principle that tax-exempt resources should not be used for personal benefit."Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

| Sixth-Grade Boys Allegedly Attack, Cut Girl’s ‘Ugly’ Dreadlocks at Private Christian School Posted: 27 Sep 2019 09:33 AM PDT  Photo Illustration by The Daily Beast/Courtesy Cynthia AllenAmari Allen was about to use the slide at the Immanuel Christian School playground on Monday when three white classmates appeared. Within "seconds," the 12-year-old said, she was pushed down, her hands held behind her back as the boys called her names and cut off patches of her "ugly, nappy" dreadlocks. "One of the boys put his hand over my mouth so I wouldn't scream while they used scissors on my hair," she recalled to The Daily Beast on Thursday. "They were all laughing, calling me ugly, and saying I should have never been born."The alleged assault only lasted "a minute or two" before the bell rang to signal the end of recess, the sixth grader said. The three boys took off running to go into their math class while Amari stayed on the slide, trying to collect herself before following behind. "They ran off laughing, and I was just sitting there," the soft-spoken teenager said. "I'm hurt that it happened. All I want to ask them is, Why?"The Monday afternoon racist attack at the private Immanuel Christian School—an already controversial school where Karen Pence, the second lady of the United States, teaches art class part-time—has "destroyed" the Allen family, and they are now seeking legal and administrative retributions. Courtesy of Cynthia AllenAmari's mother, Cynthia Allen, told The Daily Beast that the family met with school officials on Thursday morning to demand the three boys be removed and updated policies be put into place to ensure "this doesn't happen again." Allen also said Amari filed a police report. "We take seriously the emotional and physical well-being of all our students, and have a zero-tolerance policy for any kind of bullying or abuse. We are deeply disturbed by the allegations being made, and are in communication with the family of the alleged victim to gather information and provide whatever support we can," the school said in a statement to The Daily Beast. "We have also reached out to law enforcement to ask them to conduct a thorough investigation, and further inquiries should be directed to the Fairfax County Police Department.""All I am asking for is this to be resolved, if they can't leave school, then I will," Amari said. Her mother agreed, adding, "She's in real pain but she wants justice."The 53-year-old mom said it took two days for Amari to finally admit the attack even happened. At first, the 12-year-old told her mother that the missing parts of her hair were the result of playing "beauty salon" with another friend. "We continued to press her on it because it just didn't sound like something she would do," Cynthia Allen said. "Then she started breaking down crying, trembling, and shaking before telling us what happened."Amari said she "instantly felt better" when she told her family about how the three sixth-grade boys pinned her down on the playground. She said while one boy covered her mouth, a second boy put her hands behind her back, and a third boy cut her dreadlocks while calling her names."They called her 'ugly,' told her she was an 'attention seeker,' called her hair 'nappy,' all of these horrible things," her mother said. "And when they ran away laughing, she just had to sit there and get herself together." Amari admitted she initially denied that anyone cut her hair out of fear of retaliation. The three boys—including one that used to be her friend—are in six of her classes and she said she was afraid they "would come after me.""They had scissors, so they could have done anything to me," the sixth grader said. "I was afraid if I told the teacher they wouldn't care."Amari's mom explained that this was not the first time her daughter had been subjected to bullying by these three classmates. Throughout the school year, the boys have allegedly been "taking her lunch every single day and calling her names.""My concern is, how did they not see what was taking place, on the playground and all year," Allen said. "Karen Pence, the vice president's wife, works at the school. There is security and secret service everywhere. How did they not know!"The Immanuel Christian School, which enrolls kindergartners through eighth graders at its campus in Springfield, Virginia, has been previously embroiled in controversy after its school banned LGBT students and demanded all employees affirm the belief that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.According to The New York Times, the school's employment application requires prospective teachers to describe their faith and sign their initials next to a list of beliefs, including Immanuel Christian's definition of marriage and stances on sexual identity."I understand that the term 'marriage' has only one meaning; the uniting of one man and one woman," the application reads, detailing that certain "moral misconduct" considered disqualifying includes "heterosexual activity outside of marriage (e.g., premarital sex, cohabitation, extramarital sex), homosexual or lesbian sexual activity, polygamy, transgender identity, any other violation of the unique roles of male and female."Pence, 62, has had a long history with the school, having taught from 2001 to 2013 while her husband served in Congress. And in December, the second lady decided to return twice a week to the private school as an art teacher. Cynthia Allen said despite the school's recent controversies, she is more concerned with its future and said she is planning to speak to administrators further about preventing another racist attack. But for now, she said, Amari will not return to school. "Amari is surviving, but this can't happen again," she said. "She is terrified, she has not been able to sleep. And she is strong, I can't imagine if this happened to somebody else."Read more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip? Send it to The Daily Beast hereGet our top stories in your inbox every day.
