Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was asked by Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing whether he agreed that the thousands of transgender men and women now in the military have served with honor and valor.

Immigrant family warned Oklahoma cops about neighbor’s racist obsession before killing
Stanley Vernon Majors is charged with murder and a hate crime in the August 2016 shooting death of 37-year-old Khalid Jabara, who was killed on his front porch after enduring years of racist taunts by his next-door neighbor, reported CNN.
“How many red flags does it take to keep somebody that’s obviously dangerous to the community, to the public in general, who’s a flight risk,” said the victim’s younger brother, Rami Jabara. “How many red flags does it take to keep this guy in custody so that he can face trial? It’s like the law can’t catch up with him.”
The Jabara family, who came from Lebanon decades ago, got a protection order against the 62-year-old Majors and then reported to police that he wasn’t complying — yet he remained free to run down their mother.
He was charged with hit and run after police found him later drunk and urinating in public, and he asked officers about Haifa Jabari — who suffered a brain hemorrhage and broken bones — by name before cursing her as “filthy Lebanese.”
Prosecutors later charged him with assault and battery with a deadly weapon.
Majors was released on $30,000 bond in that September 2015 incident and returned to his Tulsa home, where the Jabari family said he continued to harass them before killing their son and brother two months later.
