Back in Gang of 8 days, way to win GOP support was to throw in lots of high tech--sensors, drones, infrared--to create 'virtual' fence instead of actual physical border barrier. Now, Dems talking same stuff... 1/4 ow.ly/pe3O30naw9P
Still, Dems appear open to 'enhanced fencing'--higher, better fencing, possibly pedestrian replacing vehicle fencing--plus altogether new barriers. But offering it within package of high tech stuff. 2/4 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
One obvious possible resolution: GOP gets new fencing, improved in existing areas and new in currently un-fenced areas, while fence opponents crow about all the new high-tech gadgets they bought. 3/4 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
Link: Dems ready new/old plan for border security. 4/4 End washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…

Proposals for 'virtual fence' on border haven't worked in past. Big problem: They don't keep anybody from crossing border illegally. Now, Dems trying again. But tech plan even less useful now, because nature of illegal flow has changed. 1/3 ow.ly/3wyP30niTVb
Now, many illegal crossers are families & unaccompanied children. Goal is not to enter US undetected. Goal is to enter, be caught, and begin asylum process that will allow them to stay in US, even if asylum claim is baseless. 2/3 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
In those circumstances, virtual fence useless. Could be why advocates want it; gives appearance of toughness on border security, but doesn't stop illegal crossers. 3/3 End. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…

Reading Mark Warner CNN transcript on Trump-Russia. This the-latest-stories-are-very-troubling-but-I-can't-say-what-I-know-because-it's-a-super-duper-secret routine is getting really old... 1/4
Given seriousness of Trump-Russia allegations, there is a desperate need for radical transparency. Full Mueller report, plus all underlying testimony/interview transcripts, should be released. No classified versions. 2/4
Full Senate Intelligence Committee report, plus all underlying testimony/interview transcripts, should be released. Everything. Plus all transcripts from House Intelligence Committee and Senate Judiciary. No classified versions. 3/4

James Comey bungled Hillary Clinton investigation. Then started sketchy Trump probe. Then did a dossier-based, Moscow hookers, J. Edgar Hoover-style 'we know about you' routine with Trump before Trump became president... 1/4
Then Comey told Trump three times he wasn't under investigation while leaving public impression that he was. Trump understandably angry. Then, when Trump fired Comey--as some advisors had advocated for months--FBI saw it as treason. 2/4
Now, NYT reports FBI reacted to justified firing of Comey by opening counterintelligence investigation, probing 'whether [Trump] had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests.' 3/4

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

This surveillance tech is deployed at Sabarimala currently with Artificial Intelligence based high-res cameras fitted onto drones synced with various databses and biometric profiles under what they call "Predictive Policing" - stopping crime before it starts or future crimes.
Under Predictive Policing Hot Spot analysis police personnel will analyze & predict geographical areas of increased crime on basis of crime data. It will process all patterns relating to time of occurrence, exact locations, even shops, hotels, bars or other establishments.
Detectives will study social & infrastructural environment of a location & its local demography. Analysis will also be made of such things as local weather conditions, days on which offences are committed, whether it was around pay-day etc. But how they know its your pay-day? :)

YM 🔞 | A camboy!Yoongi Threadfic | When Yoongi put out the ad for a guy to fuck him on camera for thousands of viewers, he didn't expect much. He certainly didn't expect shy gorgeous Park Jimin to answer the call.
It wasn't like Yoongi ever planned on doing this with his life. It was just one of those things that managed to happen and being the type of person he was, he just went with it. Besides, it wasn't like Yoongi didn't /enjoy/ the attention.
It all started when he was nineteen years old and fresh out of high school with a big world open in front of him. He wanted to follow his dreams, his passions. He wanted to write music and make something of himself he could be proud of. But his parents didn't agree. They didn't

3yrs later, her mind's wanderlusts appears intent than ever, to be elsewhere but here; in the present. #Dementia140
Today 3rs ago, Mama buried her best friend all through 11 births, 4(?) miscarriages, to the fading of her memory.
By (4?) I mean known miscarriages.She was really secretive. Sometimes, I still think she is still secretive even by her mind not being here.
