U.S at WAR with ISIS in Syria

American airstrikes against ISIS targets are under way in Syria, according to a Pentagon official.

"I can confirm that U.S. military and partner nation forces are undertaking military action against ISIL [ISIS] terrorists in Syria using a mix of fighter, bomber and Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles," Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby said. "Given that these operations are ongoing, we are not in a position to provide additional details at this time. The decision to conduct theses strikes was made earlier today by the U.S. Central Command commander under authorization granted him by the commander in chief. We will provide more details later as operationally appropriate."

In a national address on Sept. 10, President Obama said the first part of his strategy to counter ISIS was to “conduct a systematic campaign of airstrikes against these terrorists.”

“Moreover, I have made it clear that we will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country, wherever they are. That means I will not hesitate to take action against ISIL [ISIS] in Syria as well as Iraq,” Obama said. “This is a core principle of my presidency: If you threaten America, you will find no safe haven.”

Cow Abuse Video sick " Papa Johns Pizza "

Cow Abuse " Papa John's Pizza Cheese "

Is your pizza topped with horrific animal cruelty?

A new Mercy For Animals undercover investigation reveals appalling animal abuse at a Leprino Foods dairy supplier. Leprino Foods is the world’s largest mozzarella cheese producer and a supplier to virtually all of the major pizza chains in the country, including Pizza Hut, Papa John’s, and Domino’s.

The shocking hidden-camera video footage shows:

- Workers viciously kicking and punching cows, and stabbing them with screwdrivers, causing bloody wounds and injuries

- Cows being violently whipped in their faces and bodies with chains and metal wires

- Workers maliciously shocking sick and injured cows and dragging them with tractors

- Sick or injured cows suffering from open wounds, infections, and injuries left to suffer without proper veterinary care

Treated as mere milk-producing machines, cows exploited and killed for cheese used on pizzas endure lives of near constant misery and deprivation.

This has to stop!

Please, take a moment to sign this petition calling on Leprino Foods to immediately implement meaningful animal welfare policies to prevent egregious animal abuse at its supplier farms.

Thank you.

Chinese destroyer docks in Iran, first such visit

TEHRAN: Iran’s state television is reporting that a Chinese destroyer has docked in a southern Iranian port in the first such visit to the country by the Chinese Navy.
Adm. Hossein Azad, naval base chief in the southern port of Bandar Abbas, said the four-day visit saw the two navies sharing expertise in the field of marine rescue.
The Sunday report said the destroyer was accompanied by a logistics ship, both of which were on their way to the Gulf of Aden as a part of an international mission to combat piracy.
In recent years Iran’s navy has increased its bilateral relations with various countries.
Earlier last year a Russian naval group docked in the same port on the way back from a Pacific Ocean mission.

Saudi Arabia ( Female guards at schools spark intense debate)

Intense public debate continues around the employment of female security guards at girls’ schools, with some arguing that teachers and supervisors should take up this role.
Some parents have argued that these guards are vital to tackle conflict between girl students, bullying and inappropriate behavior toward teachers.
Alfirdaus Samira Alharkan, a school director, supports having female guards, especially at entrances and inside the premises of intermediate and high schools, to tackle improper behavior such as smoking and bullying.
Abdulaziz Al-Atisham, a Shoura Council member, supports the idea and argues it can help solve many problems at schools. He said the government has taken several decisions recently to ensure women can become part of the work force.
“The challenges are mainly bureaucratic in nature. Many people are challenging the employment of women as cashiers, but the reality is that they are more punctual in terms of reporting to work and sticking to working hours.
“Female guards currently stand outside school buildings, and have no involvement in what goes on inside. Why are no female guards employed to remain inside and monitor issues among students?”
Psychiatric consultant Faiqah Badr said women should not only be employed at schools as a means of job creation. It should also be seen as a way to train women to help deal with students who are at a very sensitive stage of their lives.
Writer Suzan Al-Shadi said she was concerned that female guards would overstep their mandate to ensure control of students. She also doubted whether the Department of Education would train them properly so that they were aware of their rights and obligations.
Writer Mohammed Al-Sahimy rejected the idea of employing female guards inside girls’ schools. “Teachers and supervisors should be capable of taking on this role so students do not feel they are being monitored.”
He said teachers have recently moved away from their role as mentors and focus only on teaching. He urged the education department to place emphasis on training teachers to be both educators and mentors capable of addressing any issue at a school.

Wanted Drug Lord’s Brother Found Dead in Mexico

MORELIA, Mexico – Mexican police on Friday found the dead body of the purported brother of Los Caballeros Templarios (Knights Templar) chief Servando “La Tuta” Gomez Martinez, the country’s most wanted drug lord, authorities said.

Aquiles Gomez Martinez was found dead Friday morning of a gunshot wound at his home in the Pacific port city of Lazaro Cardenas, the Michoacan state Attorney General’s Office said.

A 9 mm pistol, two ammunition clips and a box containing 50 bullets were also found at the residence, the AG’s office said.

Prosecutors had identified him and two other purported brothers of “La Tuta,” Flavio and Luis Felipe Gomez Martinez, as chief operators of the Templarios.

Elsewhere in Michoacan, the slain bodies of six people bearing gunshot wounds were found near a campus of the University of San Nicolas de Hidalgo in the city of Uruapan.

Authorities said they believe those individuals were killed in another place and their bodies were dumped at the intersection where they were discovered.

One individual was found alive at that same location and is currently being treated at a local hospital, the state AG’s office said.

The federal government intervened in January in Michoacan to fill a security vacuum in that southwestern state, where community self-defense groups had formed to defend themselves against the Templarios.

Since January, federal authorities have dealt the cartel a series of blows, capturing or killing several of its top leaders.

The Templarios, which deal in both synthetic and natural drugs, commit murders, stage kidnappings and run extortion rackets that target business owners and transport companies in Michoacan.

Residents in several towns and cities formed vigilante groups in February 2013 to fight the crime outfit.
