Facial recognition software mistook 1 in 5 California lawmakers for criminals, says ACLU. So, they're saying it works, then?

MSN: Facial recognition software mistook 1 in 5 California lawmakers for criminals.

California Assemblyman Phil Ting has never been arrested, but he was recently mistaken for a criminal.

Ting (D-San Francisco), who authored a bill to ban facial recognition software from being used on police body cameras, was one of 26 California legislators who was incorrectly matched with a mug shot in a recent test of a common face-scanning program by the American Civil Liberties Union.

About 1 in 5 legislators was erroneously matched to a person who had been arrested when the ACLU used the software to screen their pictures against a database of 25,000 publicly available booking photos. Last year, in a similar experiment done with photos of members of Congress, the software erroneously matched 28 federal legislators with mug shots.

Again, they're saying it works, or it's not identifying enough politicians as criminals?

 One glance and you can tell they all look guilty.

Triggered San Bernardino students offered emotional support caused by CBP job posting.

BizPac Review: University apologizes, offers counseling to students for plugging job opportunities with Border Patrol.

Students at a California college received an apology and were offered counseling services after being sent an email about employment opportunities with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol.

California State University in San Bernardino sent an apology to students who “experienced distress” after the career center sent a flyer from USCBP announcing that “U.S. Border Patrol is Now Hiring!”

Veteran and military recruitment webinars being offered during the week were promoted by USCBP in the flyer which was forwarded to students.

    The career center at CSUSB really didn’t think this one through. There is already underrepresentation [sic] of our undocumented students at this campus and this was to say the least – thoughtless. pic.twitter.com/v2aSGqNPxh

Complaints to the school’s career center came in from the liberal students who were apparently triggered by the message.

    Wow $90k, I’d sell my soul to the devil first before i join border patrol.

While the school’s response did not note what the offensive part of the Border Patrol recruitment flyer was, their message was a pointed apology that pandered to the sensitive snowflakes.

    Outrageous:

    Cal State San Bernardino is apologizing for sending an email promoting employment opportunities with the US Border Patrol

    Students complained the emails were “triggering” & the school is offering counseling.

“The Career Center sincerely apologizes for the email sent to students on Monday, August 5, 2019, regarding the employment webinars offered by the U.S. Border Patrol,” the message read.

“We recognize that some recipients experienced distress due to the contents of the message, and we acknowledge the validity of your concerns. Please know that the Career Center is committed to informing students about employment opportunities while also considering the safety and well-being of all members of the campus community,” it continued.

A fan of news went to ask Chris Cuomo for a photo, mind you the man who asked him DID NOT know his real name and knows of him only through The RUSH LIMBUAGH SHOW and on that show Rush repeatedly calls him "FREDO" so the man legitimately thought his name was FREDO. At this point CHRIS CUOMO LOSES IT AND THREATENS THE MAN WITH VIOLENCE!

I'll only add that Fredo was wearing a baseball cap because the fake raccoon hair he wears must've been at the dry cleaners.

FREDO! FREDO! FREDO the WOP! Fredo has sand in his vagina...

The Triggered Fredo Cuomo clip has amused Donald Trump, Jr.:

#FakeNewsFredo - that may just stick!

CNN, of course, is defending and stands by their little Dago.  Abusive, threatening language, intimidation and all.

We can only imagine the feigned outrage from The Left if instance and behavior of the Fredo Cuomo clip had instead been an unhinged Tucker Carlson.

Epstein autopsy observed by celebrity pathologist Michael Baden. Epstein described as being in "good spirits." Removed from suicide watch per his attorneys request.

BloodSport Capital @ Twitter:

DNYUZ: Epstein Camp Sent Pathologist Michael Baden to Watch Over His Autopsy.

Chief Medical Examiner Barbara Sampson also noted that Epstein’s representatives have hired celebrity pathologist Michael Baden to conduct an independent autopsy and they were allowed to observe the autopsy. Baden, who served at the city’s chief medical examiner in late 1970s, has made a career investigating high-profile deaths, including Michael Brown, who was killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, and former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez. Baden also testified at the murder trials of O.J. Simpson and Phil Spector.

It was not immediately clear if Epstein’s body had been released or who was going to be claiming it, or who “those representing the decedent” were.
[.]
“People close to Epstein” had said Saturday that “he seemed recently to be in good spirits” and they “expressed concern about the possibility of foul play,” according to the account of  “one person familiar with their discussions” cited by The Washington Post on Saturday.

NY Post: Epstein met with attorneys up to 12 hours a day.

Epstein had been meeting with his attorneys for up to 12 hours a day before they requested that he be taken off suicide watch, sources familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal.

NY Post: Epstein hanged himself with bedsheet.

The convicted pedophile, who was 6 feet tall, apparently killed himself by kneeling toward the floor and strangling himself with the makeshift noose, a law enforcement source said Monday.

Suicide nearly impossible at Metropolitan Correctional Center. One suicide in 21 years; Epstein makes it two?

NY Post: Suicide supposedly nearly impossible at ulta-secure Jeffrey Epstein lockup.

Jeffrey Epstein’s shocking death occurred at an ultra-secure federal lock-up where suicide is supposedly next to impossible.

Yet Epstein, 66, apparently managed to hang himself in his cell in the Special Housing Unit on the 9th floor of the federal Metropolitan Correctional Center at about 6:30 a.m. Saturday.
[.]
Suicide at the jail, which serves mainly as a holding facility for about 765 men and women awaiting trial for federal crimes of all levels, is rare.

A review of published stories found only one such death in the past 21 years, the 1998 suicide of South Philadelphia drug kingpin Louis Turra, who reportedly hanged himself.

A handful of suicide attempts were also reported.

But life in the specialized units often involves inmates being watched by cameras in their cells and checked by guards almost constantly.

One former inmate, Uzair Paracha, who was held there for two years until 2005, wrote he was subjected to frequent strip searches, isolation from other prisoners, lights that were left on 22 or 23 hours per day.

He said guards "monitored us like lab rats."

A very important day in the history of the world is upon us. In the near future the moon will cross through the Celestial Golden Gate flanked by Jupiter and Saturn. Now here is why it is significant; on 9/11/01 the moon crossed through the Celestial Silver Gate while being flanked by Jupiter and Saturn.

Do sharks attack humans for a reason?

BBC: Why do sharks attack humans?

 "The more sharks and people there are in one place, the greater the chance of them bumping into each other," [said Gavin Naylor, director of the Florida Program for Shark Research].

This seems like an obvious point, but when you look closer at where attacks are taking place there are some clues as to what might be going on. The large human populations along the southern coast of Australia and the eastern coast of the US mean large numbers of people enjoying the water. But southern Australia has also seen rising numbers of fur seals along its coastline, the favourite prey of great white sharks in the region.
[.]
[Seal seal populations off Cape Cod on the coast of Massachusetts in the US have rebounded in recent years]...[which has]...led to increased numbers of great whites in the area too during the warm summer months as they look to feast on the seals[.]
[.]
...there is no real evidence that sharks are actively hunting humans, according to the scientists who study them.

Unless they're the sharks in the Sharknado series. And the Land Shark . They are out to attack and eat us.

Sanders and Castro to Speak at ISNA, "Radical Islamist Convention".

D.C. Presswire: AMCD Blasts Gov. Inslee, Sen. Sanders and Julian Castro for Pandering to Islamists.

WASHINGTON, DC, USA, August 8, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Julian Castro are scheduled to speak at the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)’s convention in Houston on August 31. ISNA has been designated a Muslim Brotherhood entity by the US Justice Department.

Ares and Athena: Are these two [Sanders, Castro] brain dead, misinformed, or traitors? 

Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Julian Castro have agreed to speak at the convention of a radical Islamist group with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and hostility towards progressive Muslims and values.
[.]
The U.S. Justice Department lists ISNA as an “entity” of the Muslim Brotherhood, a radical and often violentarm of the Islamist global political project. The Brotherhood’s goal is a worldwide caliphate with all of humanity living under sharia law.
[,]
Sanders and Castro, [are] apparently unaware of—or is unconcerned with—ISNA’s radical ideology, including expelling Muslims for Progressive Values, a pro-LGBT group, from its conference in 2017 or the fact one of ISNA’s past presidents endorsed the execution of homosexuals by sharia-based governments.
[.]
By speaking at the event, [Trevor Noah, host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, also slated to speak at the ISNA convention], Sanders and Castro are helping ISNA appear as moderate leaders of the Muslim-American community (not to mention helping ISNA raise money through ticket sales) [sic].

Advising Pollster to Biden embraces gun control. "It's no longer radical."

Ledger-Enquirer: Biden: Trump ‘fanning the flames of white supremacy’.

...on Wednesday, even red-state Democrat Steve Bullock, the Montana governor, backed gun control measures, insisting in a Washington speech that gun owners are worried about their families' safety just like everyone else. He called for universal background checks, a ban on assault weapons, and so-called "red flag" laws aimed at restricting gun ownership from high-risk individuals.

"I am a hunter and a gun owner," Bullock said. "And let me say as a hunter, no real hunter needs a 30-round clip. No real hunter needs a weapon of war." (The Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting, Steve. - DD)
[.]
John Anzalone, a veteran Democratic pollster who is advising Biden, acknowledged the party's sudden willingness to embrace gun control.

"It's no longer radical," he said. "No one's afraid of the NRA anymore."

What was their reason for being afraid of the NRA? That the NRA supports The Second Amendment and promotes legal gun ownership for law-abiding people? That it promotes gun safety and responsibility of gun owners? Yeah, that's scary. Far more scary than addressing the issue of criminals obtaining their guns illegally.

White Supremacy, Racism and The Fear Card are all the DEMS have left. Count on them milking it for the next 14 months.

TF is he aiming at? Rabbits?

60 Pistols Found Hidden in Smugglers Car Trying to Enter UK. Discovery by The Specialist Deep-Rummage Team.

Smuggled Guns discovered (UK National Crime Agency)

The Firearms Blog: British Border Police discovered what might be the largest cache of smuggled firearms ever to be found at a UK port:

60 pistols were found during a search at the Port of Dover on 2 August. The pistols are believed to be blank firing pistols converted to live fire.

The 60 weapons were apparently hidden within “deeply inside the car’s bumper and both rear quarter panels.” The guns were found by what is quaintly described by the National Crime Agency as a specialist deep-rummage team”. The initial search discovered a blank firing SIG Sauer P226 pistol, with a barrel converted to fire live ammunition, in the car’s rear-left quarter panel, accessible from the boot/trunk of the car. The rest of the vehicle, a Volkswagen Passat was then searched completely.

A 37-year-old man, Robert Keogh, from Dublin, was arrested and charged with illegally importing firearms and appeared at nearby Margate Magistrates’ Court on 5 August.
[.]
... the Border Force and National Crime Agency did not share further photos of the guns unpacked so we could see what sort of other pistols/blank firers were being smuggled into the country and estimates on how many guns are smuggled across the channel annually are not currently available.

This is a shame. I bet many of those guns were on their way to law-abiding UK citizens who sought only a way to defend themselves against criminals rather than being another statistic of victim status.

How long can it take to "completely search" a VW Passat, anyway?

Hypersensitive Cortez feelings hurt over cardboard cut-out that looks like her. The Horror! The Horror!

Image: Instagram/Facebook

But did they know it was cardboard?

NY Post: McConnell supporters on AOC photo: ‘Political correctness to the extreme’.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went on the warpath Tuesday over a picture of some Mitch McConnell-supporting high-schoolers groping and mock-choking a cardboard cutout of her — but the Senate majority leader and his supporters said her complaints were paper-thin.

The Kentucky senator’s spokesman pointed out that then-President Barack Obama’s staffers did the same thing to a Hillary Clinton cutout 11 years ago, while others just thought the whole debate was yet another example of today’s ­hypersensitivity.
[.]
“Hey @senatemajldr – these young men look like they work for you,” [Cortez] tweeted Monday night. “Just wanted to clarify: are you paying for young men to practice groping & choking members of Congress w/ your payroll…or is this just the standard culture of #TeamMitch?”

McConnell’s campaign manager, Kevin Golden, shot back Tuesday, defending the majority leader and noting the Obama-staff similarities.
[.]
Ocasio-Cortez wouldn’t let the issue drop Tuesday, as she put out a tweet implying that McConnell’s camp is condoning the stunt.

And hands near the neck of a cardboard cut-out is not "choking".

Jim Watkins, 8 Chan owner, says El Paso shooter didn't post manifesto. Watkins called to testify before congress.

C|Net: Jim Watkins, owner of the 8chanHe implies the gunman used an Instagram account that hasn't been active in more than a year.

The statement comes after Jim Watkins, the owner of the 8chan message board, suggested in a YouTube video that the document had been loaded to his site by a different user. Watkins, who appeared in front of an image of Benjamin Franklin, said the site had made law enforcement "aware" of the manifesto when it appeared.

He also suggested -- but didn't state -- that the gunman, who killed 22 in the attack at a Walmart store, had posted the document to Instagram.

"First of all, the El Paso shooter posted on Instagram, not 8chan," Watkins said in the video. "Later, someone uploaded the manifesto. However, that manifesto was not uploaded by the Walmart shooter. I don't know if he wrote it or not, but it was not uploaded by the murderer; that is clear."

8chan, an anonymous forum, is a magnet for trolls, who delight in racist, sexist and politically incorrect humor. Watkins' video was titled "Sorry for the inconvenience, common sense will prevail" an apparent reference to the title of the 2,300-word manifesto, which was called "The Inconvenient Truth."

“Regrettably, this is at least the third act of white supremacist extremist violence linked to your website this year,” the letter reads.

A Brazilian drug lord who attempted to smuggle himself out of prison while dressed as his own daughter before being caught has been found dead.

Clauvino da Silva, 42, had been serving a 73-year sentence in Bangu prison, Rio de Janeiro, when he was caught trying to break out of jail wearing an elaborate disguise on Saturday.

Clauvino da Silva, seasoned criminal, fails prison escape. Wore teenage daughter’s clothes, long wig, and a silicon mask.

Drug trafficker Clauvino da Silva, 42

Clauvino da Silva, 42, was stopped by the guards of Gericino Penitentiary Complex in western Rio de Janeiro as he was about to leave the facility through the front door dressed as a woman. The inspectors almost fell for the trick, but grew suspicious of the “girl” who was acting nervously at the last moment.

They were in for a bigger surprise when they discovered that the supposed girl, dressed in a pair of blue jeans, a pink T-shirt, a grey blazer, and white sandals, was not a girl at all, but her gangster father.

Biden compares Trump to KKK. Biden forgets his warm friendship with DEM KKK Robert Byrd.

L to R: Joe Biden, DEM Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd;

behind Byrd is DEM Senator Joe Manchin ( W. VA); poster via image search

Daily Mail: Biden compares Trump to KKK.

'We went through this before in the '20s with the Ku Klux Klan,' he said, '50,000 people walking down Pennsylvania Avenue in pointed hats and robes because they in fact decided they didn't want any Catholics coming into the country.'

'We went through it after the Civil War in terms of the Ku Klux Klan and white supremacy.["]

...Says the guy who gave a glowing, tearful, loving eulogy for Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd.

Gee, we can only speculate as to why he only mentioned "the Catholics." Keep perpetuating the lies of the formation of your party and what it stands for, Joe.

Snopes (heh, yeah, slanted Snopes), reports a similar story as "Mostly False".  Why? Because the story Snopes is "debunking" refers to Byrd as a "Grand Wizard" instead of his true title, "Grand Kleagel".

The image of Biden, Byrd and Manchin is legit, according to Snopes:

The picture in question was taken by Associated Press photographer Bob Bird [sic], in Charleston, West Virginia, on Oct. 24, 2008. It shows Biden, then running mate to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, present at a campaign rally with U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va) and West Virginia’s Democrat Gov. Joe Manchin. Biden is holding the hand of U.S. Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va).

Democratic socialists earned some ridicule this weekend after video clips from their annual convention—which showed attendees objecting to clapping, disruptive chatter, and the use of gendered language on grounds that all of these things were triggering—appeared online.

One person took to the podium to thank his fellow comrades for waving their hands in the air instead of clapping, since sudden, loud noises can be harmful for the easily perturbed members of the audience.

"We have a lot of disabled comrades," he said. He reminded everyone to "avoid hissing, avoid waving banners, there's all sorts of things."
