>JAKARTA, Indonesia—Indonesian President Joko Widodo traveled to the southern end of the South China Sea on Thursday, sending a blunt message to Beijing that his country would assert its sovereignty over waters at the center of a fishing-rights dispute between the two nations.
>Aboard a navy warship near Indonesia’s Natuna islands, which lie between Singapore and Borneo, Mr. Widodo held a meeting with members of his cabinet, discussing issues such as fishing, energy programs and defense plans for the area.
>The cabinet later issued a statement saying that the president’s visit was “an affirmation that the [Natuna] islands are the sovereign territory” of Indonesia.
>Indonesia for years has tried to avoid being dragged into territorial disputes in the region, where countries including China, Vietnam and the Philippines claim all or part of the South China Sea as their own. Tensions have grown steadily in recent years after China began building artificial islands on reefs and atolls it occupies in the area. In the coming weeks a United Nations-backed arbitration court in the Netherlands is expected to rule on a complaint from the Philippines over China’s sweeping territorial claims in the region.
...
>China doesn’t dispute Indonesia’s claim to the Natunas. But it says it has the right to fish in waters near the islands, which are home to nearly 100,000 Indonesians.
>On Thursday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said that the two sides have overlapping claims “over the maritime interests in some waters of the South China Sea” and expressed hope that Indonesia could meet China “half way” in maintaining stability in the region.
>Indonesia says it has rights to an exclusive, U.N.-defined economic zone extending 200 nautical miles from the islands. There has been a series of recent run-ins between Indonesian authorities and Chinese fishing boats and coast-guard vessels in the area.
>After the first clash in March, Beijing argued that a Chinese fishing trawler was operating in what it called “traditional Chinese fishing grounds,” an argument that was rejected by Indonesia. In the most recent incident, Indonesian maritime forces fired warning shots at Chinese vessels and seized one they said was fishing illegally.
>Earlier this week, Rear Adm. Achmad Taufiqoerrochman, commander of the Indonesian navy’s Western Fleet, said the number of Chinese fishing vessels has risen around the Natunas since March, and the fishing was “an excuse” for China to lay claim to the area ahead of the U.N. tribunal decision.
...
>Until now, Indonesia has largely been measured in speaking about territorial disputes in the South China Sea. It refers to itself as a non-claimant country and has pushed for a long-delayed, regional code of conduct between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Southeast Asia’s 10-member political and economic bloc. At the same time, Indonesia says China’s so-called nine-dash line, a territorial demarcation appearing on some Chinese maps that runs through a wide swath of the South China Sea, has no basis in international law.
>With Thursday’s trip to the Natunas, Mr. Widodo is trying to send two messages, said Ian Storey, a Southeast Asia specialist at the ISEAS Yusof Ishak Institute.
>“One to China that spats over illegal fishing shouldn’t derail Sino-Indonesian relations, and one to [Indonesians], that the government will resolutely defend the country’s sovereignty and maritime rights,” Mr. Storey said. “Ultimately, however, I don’t think Indonesia can continue to maintain the fiction that it is not a party to the South China Sea dispute,” he added.
>Experts in maritime law such as Damos Dumoli Agusman, secretary-general at the Directorate General for Legal Affairs and International Treaties at Indonesia’s Foreign Ministry, also suggest that Indonesia is being drawn into the broader territorial disputes in the region.
>While Indonesia isn’t a direct party to the dispute over who controls the South China Sea, he said, the lack of consensus on maritime delimitations mean that Indonesia is “being dragged into it.”
Get 'em widodo
Seems like China is planning to have these little sea skirmishes indefinitely. I wonder whether ASEAN should consider more military integration.

What do you think will happen, lads?
Nothing that wouldn't have happened anyways.
>>53071
It's just more of the aggressive forward posturing they've been doing. It's mainly just to push their military presence there and push out other influence.
Like the article says, Russia already has missiles that can hit those same targets already, so it's not like they're actually setting up a missile strike to do right now.
>>53071
And where in Europe exactly do they plan on stationing those missiles? Former Bloc countries sure as fuck aren't going to let those within their borders.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/06/23/supreme-court-blocks-obama-immigration-plan.html
The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked President Obama’s immigration executive actions, in a tie decision that delivers a win to states challenging his plan to give a deportation reprieve to millions of illegal immigrants.
The justices' one-sentence opinion on Thursday marks a major setback for the administration, effectively killing the plan for the duration of Obama's presidency.
The judgment could have significant political and legal consequences in a presidential election year highlighted by competing rhetoric over immigration. As the ruling was announced, pro-immigration activists filled the sidewalk in front of the court, some crying as the ruling became public. Critics of the policy touted the decision as a strong statement against "executive abuses."
"The Constitution is clear: The president is not permitted to write laws—only Congress is. This is another major victory in our fight to restore the separation of powers," House Speaker Paul Ryan said in a statement, adding that the ruling rendered Obama's actions "null and void."
Oh well
>>53131
oh well. sage
>>53131
Did the justices say anything in corroboration with what Paul said?
>The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday blocked President Barack Obama's plan to spare millions of immigrants in the country illegally from deportation in a split ruling that heartened political foes who had accused him of overstepping his powers.
>The 4-4 ruling, coming seven months before Obama's term in office ends, marked the latest success that his Republican adversaries have had in thwarting a major policy initiative of the Democratic president. Obama had hoped that overhauling the U.S. immigration system and resolving the fate of the estimated 11 million people in the country illegally would be part of his presidential legacy.
>The ruling is likely to further amplify the role that the immigration issue will play in the run-up to the Nov. 8 presidential election in which voters will pick Obama's successor. It also leaves in legal limbo the roughly 4 million people Obama's action was meant to help.
>Obama unveiled his plan in November 2014. It was quickly challenged in court by Republican-governed Texas and 25 other states that argued that Obama overstepped the powers granted to him by the U.S. Constitution by infringing upon the authority of Congress. His unilateral executive action bypassed the Republican-led Congress.
>Because the court was split, a 2015 lower-court ruling invalidating Obama's plan was left in place. The plan never was implemented because the lower courts had blocked it.

>[There may be a temptation to say "ha!" to the feminist organizations that have turned Title IX into a weapon against college men at the thought of a woman being accused by a man. But Rose received the same poor investigation and treatment that many college men receive. It's yet another reason why schools, pressured by the federal government to find accused students responsible, shouldn't handle accusations.]
This is the first time I've read an article that makes me sad for the accused rapist. Blame is put on alcohol, low self-esteem, and even peer pressure from friends. This poor girl is traumatized for life because she didn't know.
Has any one heard if feminist are attacking this women? Is the MRA defending the women's rights?
Is the real problem that their "friends" pressured the couples in to getting together and then having regrets latter?

>California Democrats, far from enjoying a frictionless ascendancy, are finding themselves sharply divided along racial lines. The breakneck demographic shifts in the state over the past few decades partly explain the tension. In 1990, California was more than 57 percent white, while Latinos made up just over a quarter of the state’s population. By 2014, however, Latinos had surpassed whites as the state’s largest ethnic group. At the same time, the state’s Asian population (the nation’s largest) had grown to 14.4 percent, more than double the number of California’s African-Americans. In a minority-majority state dominated by a party that practices identity politics, each group now finds itself in a zero-sum competition for a handful of positions at the commanding heights of Golden State politics.

Hurr.

Good indepth article, thanks /news/team. More like this.
Pretty interesting. It reminds me of that movement from millionaires and billionaires in Silicon Valley to break California into six new areas.

>>48001
Hopefully. This EU mass censorship of the internet needs to be opposed by everyone.
>>48020
The UK is censoring its internet wonderfully on its own, it doesn't need the EU to help with that.
If the UK leaves at least it will be interesting to watch from this side of the Atlantic (at least until the economic reverberations hit us). The pound might drop in value, the Scots will vote again on leaving, if the UK wants to stay in the economic zone they'll still pay a bunch of money to the EU like Norway does and the problems the UK is facing won't simply go away and the citizens will need to look for a new scapegoat on who to blame for the problems associated with neo-liberalism. At least it will hand Cameron his ass who is a dipshit who seems to hate the shit out of anyone who lives off of wages and loves those who live off of stocks and owning tons of property.
Not to mention it will be amazing to see what Germany and France do to the UK on its way out. Will they play nice since the UK is still an important economy in the region or will they come down hard on the UK to scare anyone else from leaving.

>Radar Online released police reports Tuesday (June 21) that appear to be from the Santa Barbara Country Sheriff's Department offering disturbing details of Michael Jackson's alleged pornography collection, seven years after the singer's death.
>The 88-page report cites several picture books, magazines and videos containing images of nude and semi-nude children located during a raid at Jackson's Neverland Ranch. The items were also described as material intended to "groom" young victims and reduce their sexual inhibitions. The report also cites images of animal torture and sacrifice.
>"Some of the documents appear to be copies of reports that were authored by Sheriff's Office personnel as well as evidentiary photographs taken by Sheriff's Office personnel interspersed with content that appears to be obtained off the internet or through unknown sources," a representative of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department said in an email to Billboard. "The Sheriff's Office did not release any of the documents and/or photographs to the media. The Sheriff's Office released all of its reports and the photographs as part of the required discovery process to the prosecution and the defense."
>The rep continued: "The documents with a header titled Sheriff's Department that contain a case number appear to be Sheriff's Office documents. The photos that are interspersed appear to be some evidentiary photos taken by Sheriff's investigators and others are clearly obtained from the Internet."

>Firearm owners have no constitutional right to carry a concealed gun in public, a divided U.S. appeals court in California ruled on Thursday, upholding the right of officials to only grant permits to those facing a specific danger.
>The decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, a victory for gun control advocates which sets a legal precedent in western states, was seen as unlikely to be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court in the near future.
>The San Francisco-based court, in a 7-4 decision, found California's San Diego and Yolo counties did not violate the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which protects the right to bear arms, when they denied some applicants a concealed firearm license.
>"We hold that the Second Amendment does not protect, in any degree, the carrying of concealed firearms by members of the general public," Judge William Fletcher wrote in a 52-page opinion.
>Sheriffs in the two California counties had limited their permits to applicants showing "good cause" to be armed, such as documented threats or working in a wide range of risky occupations.
>The ruling places the 9th Circuit Court in line with other U.S. appellate courts that have upheld the right of officials in the states of New York, Maryland and New Jersey to deny concealed carry applications in certain cases.
>The U.S. Supreme Court in 2013, in the middle of a raging national debate on guns, declined to weigh in on whether firearm owners have a constitutional right to carry concealed guns.

why the don't conceal their fucking guns in their darm arses, for fuck's sake.

GG. Even our own constitution is even misinterpreted.
Well, it's hard to argue with that. I, however, don't see any point with restricting people from concealing weapons and a concealed weapon is hidden. "Bad Guys" don't follow the law anyways.
Is this an Open Carry movement? I'd gladly join, just gime a gun to carry and I'd tote that thing to hell and back again, in plain view.

>John Cramsey, 50, of rural Zionsville, Pa. — a militant anti-heroin crusader who is said to have used aggressive tactics to save at least a dozen people from drug dens — claims he was racing to Brooklyn with two pal to rescue a female drug user they believed had been kidnapped.
>The gun range-owner never completed his mission. Cramsey — along with his buddy Dean Smith and the supposedly kidnapped woman’s friend, Kimberly Arendt, 20 — were stopped by cops on the New Jersey side of the Holland Tunnel for a cracked windshield at around 7:40 a.m. Tuesday.
>Officer John Basil noticed a loaded pistol magazine and ordered the driver, 53-year-old Smith, to get out of the truck.
>Police then saw Smith had been sitting on a loaded .45 caliber handgun and later found a trove of weapons during a search: an AR-15 assault rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun and four additional semiautomatic handguns.
>The cache even had a bullet clip that says “Merica.”
