__***Minnesota State Fair Apologizes for (((anti semetic))) sandwich***__

http://archive.is/79ENP ("(((Vice)))")

Last year, nearly two million people descended upon the fairgrounds in Falcon Heights, Minnesota to get a look at the region's most beautiful cattle and massive butter sculptures, and to gorge on edible Americana like "triple truffle trotters" and cheesy nacho corn on the cob.

This year, things will ostensibly be the same, except that one food stand might be under a little more scrutiny than usual after inventing a sandwich with a name that was deemed "anti-Semitic" by some members of the local Jewish community

__***Advanced Micro Devices New Epyc Super Chip Could Rake in $1 Billion in Sales By 2020
***__
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) shares were up 0.4% to $14.43 on Thursday morning, after the stock jumped nearly 10% on Wednesday as the market digested news of its latest microchip release, Epyc.

Analysts began to weigh in on the company following the chip's unveiling.

BMO Capital Markets, which has an "outperform" rating and $15 price target on the company, is in a wait and see pattern with the company, with analyst Ambrish Srivastava saying, "In our view, launching Epyc CPU in a timely manner is AMD's first major step in the right direction in the company's goal in capturing double-digit share in the data center CPU market."

However, the firm also said that it would wait for independent benchmarks to be published before coming to any conclusions on the chip's potential penetration.

Canaccord Genuity meanwhile raised the company's price target to $20 from $17, anticipating that the chip will add $100 million in revenue this year while modeling for $1 billion in revenue by 2020. The firm maintained its "buy" rating on the company.

Oppenheimer expects AMD to see improved profits in the second half of 2017, as its top-end processor has garnered orders from Dell Technologies Inc. (DVMT) gaming affiliate Alienware. The purchase by Alienware, one of the gaming industry's best-selling computers, is expected to entice more gaming PC vendors into following suit.┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅

___***California restricts state travel to Texas, other states over LGBT laws***___

- 🤔

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra (D) will bar state employees from business trips to four states after those states passed measures limiting the rights of LGBT people.

The new restrictions prohibit state-funded or state-sponsored travel to Texas, Alabama, Kentucky and South Dakota, Becerra said Thursday.

State legislators in Texas, Alabama and South Dakota this year passed new laws allowing adoption or foster parent agencies to refuse service to LGBT families. A new Kentucky law would allow student organizations at state schools to block LBGT people from membership.

California’s Democrat-dominated legislature passed a measure last year barring state-funded travel to states that allow discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Already, the law has blocked employee travel to four other states — Kansas, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee.

An Illinois man has been charged after posting online several times that he wants to assassinate President Donald Trump.

U.S. Secret Service Special Agent Vincent Pescitelli said in a criminal complaint that Pickett "did knowingly and willfully make a threat to take the life of, to kidnap, and to inflict bodily harm" against Trump on Facebook.

The posts included frequent profanity as well as detailed death threats to the president. After making the online threats, Pickett also posted several times that he was "still waiting" for the Secret Service to come arrest him.

"Please call the Cops on me now so I have an,excuse to use my firepower .... AR 15, AK 47, s and w 40, Sig sauer 9 mm. Oh I'm so afraid of the police now..," he wrote.

Pickett will be detained until a trial because the court can't ensure the safety of other people in community due to "mental instability," according to court documents.

___***Bomber planning to attack Mecca's Grand Mosque blows himself up: ministry***___

Saudi security forces on Friday foiled a suicide attack on the Grand Mosque in the Muslim holy city of Mecca, cornering the would-be attacker in an apartment, where he blew himself up, the Interior Ministry said.

In a statement read on state television, the ministry said that three cells had planned the attack on worshippers and security forces at the mosque as the Muslim holy month of Ramadan nears its climax.

The trapped would-be suicide bomber exchanged fire with the security forces, then set off explosives when he was surrounded in a house in the central Mecca neighborhood of Ajyad al-Masafi near the mosque that had been used as the base for the attack, the ministry said.

It was not immediately clear who was behind the plot to attack the mosque, but the Islamic State group, which wants to establish a theocratic caliphate ruled according to strict Islamic law, had in the past carried out attacks in the kingdom.

In May last year, Saudi security forces shot dead two alleged Islamic State fighters outside Mecca, and two others blew themselves up outside Mecca.

Islamic extremists killed more than 1,620 people during this year’s holiest month for Muslims, marking one of the deadliest Ramadans in modern history, reveals a Breitbart News tally.

The large majority of Ramadan violence victims are Muslims.

At the end of Ramadan on Saturday, the total number of casualties across the world for the entire holy month had reached ***3,451 (1,627 murders and 1,824 injuries)***, more than tripling the 1,150 (421 deaths and 729 injuries) that took place in 2016, considered the deadliest holy month in recent memory.

The 1,627 fatalities this year nearly quadrupled the estimated 421 deaths last year. There were an estimated 160 terror incidents in nearly thirty predominantly Muslim countries during Ramadan 2017.

🇺🇸 **Supreme Court Reinstates Trump Travel Ban from Muslim-Majority Countries**
<https://archive.is/vuSwE>

The Supreme Court of the United States announced Monday that it will review the lower court injunctions
blocking enforcement of President Donald Trump’s executive order barring travel from six Muslim-majority
countries.

A dissent from the per curiam decision, written by Justice Clarence Thomas and joined by Justices Samuel Alito
and Neil Gorsuch, would have gone further and stayed the injunctions in their entirety, allowing the travel
ban to go fully into effect immediately.

“In the aftermath of the retraction of a story published on CNN.com, CNN has accepted the resignation of the
employees involved in the story’s publication,” a network spokesperson said in a statement Monday.

Typically, stories like that would have to go through several departments within CNN, including fact-checkers,
journalism standards experts and lawyers, according to the network. But the network says there was a
“breakdown in editorial workflow” which “disturbed the CNN executives who learned about it.”

Israel's shelving of a deal to allow men and women to pray together at the Western Wall echoed far beyond
religion Monday, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused of abandoning reform efforts for political
gain.

Netanyahu's cabinet voted Sunday to back out of the hard-won deal, provoking a flood of criticism and warnings
it could damage Israel's relationship with the United States' influential Jewish community. (unlikely m8)

Ex-president Park, who was impeached due to a corruption scandal, signed a document approving a “leadership
change” in North Korea back in 2015, the national daily reported on Monday citing unnamed sources. South
Korea’s intelligence agencies were to prepare operations to carry out the plan.

The report notes that the plotters considered arranging accidents, with a car accident or the derailment of a
train carrying Kim Jong-un on the table. Park’s administration also reportedly considered staging a coup in
North Korea.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump are meeting face-to-face for the first time.
Paramount in their discussions are the issues of trade, security, energy and immigration, as well as regional
issues between India and Pakistan.

From the Paris Agreement on climate change to US work visas for skilled foreigners, Trump has taken an
opposite view to Modi's positions. The same goes for Trump's stance toward Iran, as Modi supports the
internationally agreed-upon framework that further limited Iran's civilian nuclear energy program.

🇺🇸 **'2 Potential Witnesses' In DNC-Rigging Lawsuit 'Both Died'**

Lawyers and plaintiffs suing the Democratic National Committee for rigging the 2016 presidential election say
they’re being harassed with threatening messages and “freaky” encounters and they fear for their safety –
particularly in the wake of the mysterious and unsolved murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich – but a federal court
has denied their request for protection.

"All I’m saying is, two potential witnesses in my case – Shawn Lucas was my process server – they both died.
Why they died, how they died, I don’t know. Mr. Lucas was about to provide evidence to the court in this case,
on service of process, when he very, very suddenly passed away." - Elizabeth Lee Beck.

<https://archive.is/XOFh4>

The scheme – in theory – allows the UK to expel terror suspects with guarantees they will not be mistreated or
even tortured in their home country. But it appears to have broken down allowing terrorists to remain in the
UK.

In the court cases, lawyers – typically funded through legal aid – have successfully prevented foreign-born
terror suspects from being sent back to their home countries. The report is potentially embarrassing for the
prime minister because it is expected to highlight the collapse of an initiative she pushed hard for while in
the Home Office.
