Option...

The cops watched as the car drove back and forth in front of the bank.   When one of the men exited the car and began to approach the bank, the agents went to work, arresting the would-be bank robber just as the machine began spewing out cash.
ATM jackpotting is both riskier and complicated than card-skimming. Scammers have to physically breaking into the machine itself; install malware that tells the ATM to release all of its cash. The process takes longer than installing a card skimmer, more time in front of the ATM’s security cameras and triggering an alarm in the bank’s control center. But as chip-and-PIN becomes the standard in the U.S., would-be ATM thieves are running out of other options.

Conversion...

Image is not related.

The British government is planning to outlaw so-called gay conversion therapy as part of an effort to counter intolerance and discrimination.

A survey of LGBT people found 2% of the 108,000 respondents had undergone conversion therapy.

Gay conversion "therapies" are based on the premise that being gay, lesbian, ... is a mental illness that can be "cured." But there is no evidence that they work, and the techniques are largely discredited. 
The World Health Organization declassified homosexuality "a mental condition" in 1992.

Dishonest...

 

The Associated Press published a bombshell report on a civil rights lawsuit brought by numerous immigrant children. They were allegedly held at a detention center in Virginia and subject to brutal abuse, including being “beaten while handcuffed and locked up for long periods in solitary confinement, left nude and shivering in concrete cells.”  

In the original report, readers had to make it through over 20 paragraphs before learning that most of the alleged abuse took place under the Obama administration. 

We need a strong and professional journalism industry, not one that is interested in cheap, dishonest tactics meant to smear the president.  A media that regularly shreds its own credibility with Trump voters, for one, but also with the larger body politic — is ill-suited to take on that kind of threat.

Be honest. Tell the truth. Don’t lie. Don’t trick. These are rules every journalist should follow. We should not think we have the luxury of slapdash journalism. It is bad for the industry and ultimately bad for the country.       [Daniel Payne is an assistant editor at "The College Fix" and blogs at  TrialoftheCentury.net.] 

Kylian...

Kylian Mbappé Lottin born 20 December 1998) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Paris Saint-Germain and the France national team.

He is the secret France has in this world cup soccer 2018. He scored, easily, two goals in Argentina and ran over the Argentinian defense repeatedly.  One of which caused a penalty kick producing the first goal.

Blunder...

Democrats have an opportunity to position themselves as the ascendant party for years to come. But that assumes they don’t commit their usual blunders, which they appear to be doing right now on immigration with an “Abolish ICE” campaign.  

Abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency is not a message the mainstream will buy. In fact, it plays right into Trump’s tweeting hands as Democrats’  weakness on border security.

In the 2016 election 35% of voters identified themselves as conservative while only 26% said they were liberal. The largest group 39% called themselves moderates. Forming a liberal-moderate alliance is a necessity for Democrats. 

Immigration policies should strive to keep the flow of illegal immigration at manageable levels. This requires strong border enforcement and an acknowledgment that the law must have a meaning.

The Democrats’ problem with their ICE campaign is more one of messaging than substance. While the campaign has multiple strands and considerable ambiguities, it does not appear to support ending border enforcement altogether.  

Calibrate...

Changed...

One day you are going to meet someone in your life, that is going to change everything. They are going to change the way you think about the world, the way you view yourself, and the way you look at everyone else around you.  

But one thing is for sure, you will be forever changed.

Sweeden...

Sweden may reject the asylum applications of up to 80,000 migrants and should prepare to deport them, the interior minister says.  Charter aircraft would be used to deport the migrants but it would take several years.

Some 163,000 migrants applied for asylum in Sweden in 2015, the highest per capita number in Europe.The numbers have fallen significantly since Sweden imposed tighter border controls this year.

Along with Germany, the Scandinavian country is a prime destination for refugees and other migrants entering the EU illegally.

Sweden is stepping up efforts to deport illegal migrants after failed Uzbek asylum seeker killed five people in a truck attack in Stockholm.

Swindle...

The Securities and Exchange Commission charged Dawn Bennett with running a $20 million Ponzi scheme.   

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Maryland unsealed criminal charges against her, and an affidavit reveals Ms. Bennett's devotion to witchcraft.   This suggested "that Bennett had many times cast a 'hoodoo spell' in hopes of paranormally silencing the SEC attorneys investigating Bennett." 

Through her alleged fraud, Ms. Bennett swindled elderly clients of their life savings. To generate interest in the unregistered securities, she offered a whopping, out-sized return of 15% on clients' money.
