Remarkable escape of El Chapo's son: 'It's like a bad Netflix show'

Escape, it seems, is a trait shared in the Guzman family.

So is embarrassing the government of Mexico.

Joaquin Guzman Loera, the drug lord known as El Chapo, eluded the grasp of the government numerous times – in tunnels, behind closets, beneath bathtubs and through steep ravines in the remote mountains of Sinaloa. He even managed to escape prison, twice.

The latest family member to escape apprehension – El Chapo’s son, Ovidio Guzman Lopez – managed his own feat of government humiliation this week, when cartel henchmen forced a patrol of at least 30 members of government forces to release him after he had been captured.

The stunning surrender – with Mexican forces badly outmatched, taken hostage by outlaws and forced to let loose a prominent suspect in their custody – began with a siege on the city of Culiacan on Thursday by members of the Sinaloa Cartel, once headed by El Chapo. Videos of fierce gun battles in the street, armed men blocking roads, residents fleeing to safety and clouds of black smoke rising from burning vehicles swamped social media.

Pat's stated purpose for making that video is anti-gun. But, a large number of people have observed that the video is nothing more than gun porn. In fact, I borrowed the title for this journal entry from a commenter on another forum.

I think that Patrick Smith is confused about his gun gender, LOL!!

Hillary Clinton appears to suggest Russians are 'grooming' Tulsi Gabbard for third-party run [CNN, take it with a block of salt. They let it slide. The DNC is actually conspiring against Tulsi. This is a preemptive *shhh!*]

So, who's grooming Hillary for her big announcement? Oh, never mind, she can tie her own shoes. She needs no help to muck things up.

Fun times. No matter who loses, it's Russia's fault.

Man! They got some real clout over here! They love to start a clown fight on "both" sides.

Whadda country!

I hope Tulsi does go indie. Gives her a fighting chance. With Oprah on the ticket, a really good chance.

And if you people are serious, you will sweep out the house for her, put a bunch of indies in there too, and put some toilet bowl cleaner in the senate

Edit:

OOF! Shot across the bow! I sure wish she wouldn't say there's no independent intentions. Just makes things difficult if she decides enough is enough. I hope she doesn't think she can beat Clinton in a DNC primary. That would be delusional.

Edit2:

I would so love to hear Hillary say that Oprah is a Russian asset. When I Google this Russian gag, almost every mass media outlet is carrying it. Very heavy push on this one. One way or another she needs to be on the ballot to break the monolith. We have a whole year to make it a possibility.

Edit3:

Another subpoena bites the dust. The Energy Department just told the dems to bugg off... Think anything will get done next week?

#Freearistarchus!!!!

And not just fake news, but typical corrupt lying war mongering mass media bastards fake news! The kind we've been hearing since 2001 (well, before actually, but it got really heavy then. The Bin Laden "confession" was also filmed in Kentucky, cheaper than going all the way out to Hollywood, right?). The headline says "mistakenly"... Don't believe that for a New York Second.

The media is a double agent for the prez (more correctly, for the entire political machine, but let's not quibble), doing what they can to make him look good.

And to drive you people really crazy (Hi Ari!) I will put up his take on it, one of the better mashups...

Hey, dems, any subpoenas yet? How 'bout warrants? No? Gee, I wonder why...

And you know what that movie "Wag the Dog" was about, right? It was about Tony Blair and Wendi Deng. Still waiting for the DNA results on the kids... See? Now you know what really started the Iraq War

A new 'fair and balanced' Brexit Deal has been agreed between the EU and the UK, on the brink of a decisive EU summit.

The deal can be found here.

The changes versus the old deal under Theresa May have to do with the Northern Ireland border problem.

Having a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic would violate the Good Friday agreements, and hence needed to be avoided. However, Unionists in control of the Northern Ireland government insisted that NI remained a full part of the UK, with everything that goes along with that.

Squaring that circle has been worked out as follows.

Northern Ireland remains a part of the UK Customs zone, hence no customs duties need to be payed when bringing goods into NI from the rest of the UK. For exports to third-party countries, NI will follow the UK tariff rules. However, if a good might ultimately be destined for the EU, EU tariffs will apply.

To ensure these rules are followed, UK Customs will set up border checks in NI, but not at the border with the Irish Republic. Instead, customs checks will be carried out at the point of entry from the rest of the UK into Northern Ireland, i.e. its border crossings for the Irish Sea. These customs checks may be inspected by the EU; in any case, monthly communications are held about them.

UK Customs will collect EU tariffs, then send them to Brussels.

A similar arrangement has been agreed for VAT payments.

One of the difficulties might be in deciding what goods are likely to be exported to the EU i.e. any goods that might be subject to commercial processing in Northern Ireland, where 'processing' is defined as any alteration of goods, any transformation of goods in any way, or any subjecting of goods to operations other than for the purpose of preserving them in good condition or for adding or affixing marks, labels, seals or any other documentation to ensure compliance with any specific requirements.

That's a fairly broad criterium, and might hit NI businesses who mainly import and export from/to the UK. This might be resolved through reimbursement by UK Customs (i.e. point 6(a).).

A Joint Committee will refine those criteria during a transition period of 14 months (i.e. until the end of 2020). That Joint Committee will also decide on the volume of fish, exempted from duties, brought into Northern Ireland harbours.(How tariffs are going to applied to them fish is entirely unknown, but one can hear the artificial intelligence crowd already sharpening their marketing brochures).

For a number of articles in the agreement, the ECJ (European Court of Justice) will have ultimate jurisdiction. The UK may participate in those cases as a Member State, but will have to apply such decisions in the same way as other member states.

Another critical point, but mainly on the EU side, will be that 2 months before the end of a 4 year period (the 'initial period') after the transition period (14 months from Oct 31), the UK government will give the opportunity to the people of Northern Ireland, to express their democratic consent with the continued application of Articles 5 to 10 (the whole tariff and border checks thing). If they don't agree, there might again be a hard border in Ireland after an additional 4+2 year period.

In a reaction, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said that this was a bad deal, actually worse than May's, and a people's vote through a new referendum should be the decision maker. The Unionists of the DUP also rejected the deal, but the suspicion there is that that's likely to be negotiable, with the right amount of money.

AMD’s Upcoming 3rd Gen Ryzen Threadripper ‘Castle Peak’, Ryzen 3000 ‘Mattise’ CPUs and Ryzen APUs ‘Renoir’ Spotted Online

AMD 4th Gen Ryzen APU 'Renoir' Family - 7nm Zen 2 CPU + Navi GPU Cores Combined

Coming to the details, the 4th Gen Ryzen APU lineup would be replacing the 3rd Gen APU lineup which is based on the Zen+ core architecture and Vega graphics architecture. The 4th Gen lineup, codenamed Renoir, would feature support on FP6 (Notebook) and AM4 (Desktop) platforms. The current AMD Ryzen notebook lineup is based around the FP5 socket and since FP6 is a whole new socket change, we can expect a drastic change to the feature set of the Renoir generation of CPUs. There's a large list of FP6 Ryzen 'Renoir' APUs listed which include the following:

AMD Ryzen 9 B12 (45W)
AMD Ryzen 7 B10 (45W)
AMD Ryzen 5 B8 (45W)
AMD Ryzen 9 PRO B12 (15W)
AMD Ryzen 7 PRO B10 (15W)
AMD Ryzen 5 PRO B8 (15W)
AMD Ryzen 3 PRO B6 (15W)

From the looks of it, AMD would be segmenting their 4th Gen Ryzen notebook lineup into regular consumer and PRO consumer variants. The regular variants would feature a 45W TDP which is a bump from the existing 35W TDP while the PRO variants will feature a 15W TDP. What's interesting here is that AMD is planning to go up to Ryzen 9 on their notebooks as AMD wants to take the fight to Intel's 45W Core i9 parts.

I cannot say for sure what the "B**" notifier stands for but it could be telling us the core count for each specific processor. If that is the case, then AMD would be offering up to 12 cores on their flagship notebook processor compared to Intel's current Core i9-9980HK which comes with 8 cores and 16 threads. AMD Ryzen 7 APUs would feature 10 cores, Ryzen 5 would feature 8 cores and Ryzen 3 series would feature 6 cores. There may be some entry-level quad-core variants but they aren't mentioned in this particular list. We recently covered how AMD wants to disrupt the note-book sector now that they are completely dominating Intel in the desktop market.

I don't know if I believe this one. There could be more variants than what's listed, but 6-12 cores (which is speculation based on the B12/B10/B8/B6 code) seems aggressive. I expect a low-end 4-core somewhere in the Renoir notebook lineup, and I would be surprised to see 10 or 12 cores. But there's probably nothing stopping them from doing it. The Picasso monolithic chips have about a 210 mm² die size. Inside Zen 2 chiplets, 4 cores with 16 MB of L3 cache is about 31.3 mm². Maybe there is enough room to throw in 12 cores, a memory controller, multimedia engine, GPU cores, etc. It's possible that 10 or 12 core versions could ditch the integrated GPU in favor of an RX 5500 discrete GPU, as seen here.

Previous leaks have suggested Vega instead of Navi graphics. Which would be a little dumb if true. Now we're back to Navi.

A 45W TDP is a little high but this can just be configured lower by the manufacturer. See Intel's TDP-up and TDP-down. There are gaming laptops that have Ryzen desktop chips in them with sufficient cooling and/or lower clocks.

Moving on to the desktop parts, we know that AMD will be offering their HEDT 3rd Gen Ryzen Threadripper CPUs starting with a 24 core and 48 thread SKU. The list includes a 16 core / 32 thread and 32 core / 64 thread models too.

16-core Threadripper could be useful for more memory channels or PCIe lanes, but it does encroach on Ryzen 9 3950X.

Now coming to the WRX80 series, we are looking at a pure workstation lineup. Even the processors built around this platform are spec'd similar to the EPYC 7002 variants, featuring 8-channel DDR4-3200 support in UDIMM, RDIMM, LRDIMM flavors. The platform would support 1 DIMM/channel featuring support for up to 2 TB of memory. There wouldn't be any OC support like the TRX40 series but you get 96-128 Gen4 PCIe lanes with 32 switchable lanes to SATA. The Group 'B' series processors which are the workstation lineup for the WRX80 platform will also feature a 280W TDP but different temperature range of Tcase Max temperature of 81C and Tctl Max of 100C.

Threadripper 3 could top out at 48 or 64 cores, but you might not see them in 2019.

You're supposed to lock the bastard up.

We have to impeach congress, but, fuck, that ain't gonna happen either. Republican and democrat SOBs will all be reelected.

Yeah, Tulsi is the only one worth a damn, the only one to speak the truth about Syria, all the other clowns won't address our alliance with Al Qaeda, and our presence as the cause of the problem, not even Pete, who is just a Macron type banker's boy anyway. And she sounded much less like the typical condescending politician.

Too bad she puts the Party first.

Edit:

I am noticing she is not getting much air time since the Syria argument. Completely passed over during the gun thing. Considering the format and people running it, I am not surprised.

Edit2:

Sadly it was just another horrible clown pageant. So many promises to break... You can't fit all that BS into three hours.

Tulsi/Oprah (can't forget Oprah, she 's the clincher) is the ticket to beat. Since the DNC would never let it happen anyway, she has to go indie. Then watch the democrat/republicans unite in the attacks, showing they are really one in the same.

Man shoots granddaughter's boyfriend during violent home invasion, JPSO says

A Bridge City man shot his granddaughter’s boyfriend in the groin with a shotgun after the boyfriend forced his way into a house and violently beat the man, authorities said.

Miguel Ramirez, 25, of Marrero, was arrested early Monday at a Kenner hospital where he sought treatment for his wounds, said Capt. Jason Rivarde, spokesman for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Ramirez is also accused of kidnapping his 22-year-old girlfriend after attacking her grandfather, 66.

The violent confrontation began Sunday night when Ramirez and his girlfriend were involved in a “physical altercation” somewhere in New Orleans, according to Rivarde. No details were available Thursday about that incident.

After the fight, the couple went to her grandparents’ home on 15th Street in Bridge City about 11:30 p.m. to pick up their three young children, according to Rivarde. The woman went into the house to get the kids, who are under the age of 5.

The woman told her grandfather about the altercation and asked him to contact authorities for help.

But before he could call 911, Ramirez stormed into the house and began beating the grandfather, authorities said. The grandfather suffered a broken nose, severe swelling around his eyes and bruising on his face.

Ramirez then grabbed his girlfriend and dragged her out of the house, according to Rivarde.

“The grandfather, fearing that (Ramirez) is going to harm his granddaughter, gets his shotgun and fires one time,” Rivarde said.

Ramirez managed to get to his vehicle and drive off with his girlfriend.

The grandfather didn’t realize that he had wounded Ramirez, who had been shot in the groin and thigh, Rivarde said. He called 911 to report the home invasion.

Meanwhile, Ramirez drove to Ochsner Medical Center in Kenner. Emergency room doctors there notified authorities about the gunshot wounds, and Sheriff’s Office investigators arrived.

Ramirez was later booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna on counts of home invasion, second-degree battery, simple kidnapping and domestic abuse-child endangerment. He was being held without bail Thursday, according to jail records.

A shotgun isn't my first choice of weapon, but they are effective!!!
