Seduced...

An Indiana high school teacher and former golf coach met a student for sex in two Indianapolis hotels 22 times since July.   Five of those sexual encounters between Robert Chin and his student took place before the girl's 18th birthday.  The 40-year-old Avon, Ind., man was held in the Marion County (Ind.) Jail on a felony charge of child seduction.


She began having sex with Chin in July in hotel rooms in Indianapolis, the girl told police.    Registry records showed Chin had checked in to the Clarion Hotel 14 times between July and April. Three of those dates were when the girl was 17.      Who was at home?

The age of sexual consent in Indiana is 16, but the child seduction law makes it a felony for an adult in a position of trust, including a coach, teacher or pastor, to have sex with a child they supervise who is younger than 18.  Just a thought.

Honouring Egypt...

 President Trump went out of his way Monday to honor Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, praising the hard-line leader for doing a "fantastic job" and soliciting his help in the fight against terrorism and violent extremists.

"We are very much behind Egypt and the people of Egypt," Trump told Sisi at the White House. "You have a great friend and ally in the United States and in me."
Trump also referenced his own plans for more Pentagon spending to meet the terrorist threat, saying that "we are rejuvenating our military to the highest level ... That’s what we need.”

We agree...

President Trump made clear on Monday that the period of ostracism was over as he hosted Mr. Sisi and pledged unstinting support for the autocratic ruler.

“We agree on so many things,” Mr. Trump said as he sat beside Mr. Sisi in the Oval Office. “I just want to let everybody know in case there was any doubt that we are very much behind President el-Sisi. He’s done a fantastic job in a very difficult situation. We are very much behind Egypt and the people of Egypt. The United States has, believe me, backing, and we have strong backing.”

If Egypt can be a partner in the battle against international terrorism, then in Mr. Trump’s calculation, that is more important to the United States than concerns over its brutal suppression of domestic dissent.

Nothing could have made Mr. Sisi happier. He arrived from Cairo with a list of financial, security and political requests, but effectively he got what he really wanted in the six minutes that news media photographers were permitted in the Oval Office to record the visit that President Barack Obama had denied him. The picture of the general-turned-president in the White House, hosted by an American leader lavishing praise on him, was the seal of approval he had long craved, the validation of a strongman on the world’s most prominent stage.

Egypt’s military ruler Abdel Fattah el-Sisi was never invited to the Obama White House, where he was viewed as a brutal tyrant with little regard for human rights and democracy.

I think the writer got the names reversed. Sisi didn't destroy Syria nor provided weapons and killed minorities, children women and young men.   Nor did he push 10 million Syrians out of their homes to become refugees.  Not to forget that the Obama Administration were in support of the terrorists in Egypt who killed.......    Just a thought.               

                                  

NCAA...

Amid the blue-and-white pompoms, few are so rude as to mention that the University of North Carolina, the Microsoft of college basketball, remains enmeshed in a scandal of spectacular proportions.

New Issue...*

Two police officers have been attacked with a machete outside a police station in Belgium, local authorities have said. The officers, both women, were assaulted in Charleroi, south of Brussels by an attacker shouting in Arabic, police said. 

The attacker was identified as a 33-year-old Algerian, who had resided illegally in Belgium since 2012, and was known to police for criminal offenses.

Lone wolf attacks with machetes, knives and axes against police and civilians have recently become more frequent in Europe, with similar incidents reported in France and Germany.

They are mainly carried by asylum seekers, who had recently arrived in Europe from the Middle East or Western Asia, and may or may not have association with terror groups.

Accepting lawlessness well certainly attract similar.

Before...

A Washington state homeowner was arrested on murder charges after he fatally shot a man who he found taking a shower in his home.

The homeowner shot Nathaniel Joseph Rosa, 31, multiple times after he said he noticed signs of forced entry at his home in Mason County, Washington, the Mason County Sheriff’s office said .

The homeowner went inside and exchanged words with the subject, who was in the shower, at the time, police said. The homeowner left the premises, without calling the police, and returned with a firearm, police said.

"He returned retrieved a firearm, came back over to the residence and fired multiple rounds into the shower ... killing the intruder,"  

Police said the homeowner had enough time to call for help before firing shots.
