'I'm a fascist': Man attacks commuters on Rome train, woman left covered in blood

A violent brawl shocked commuters after men, who were reportedly Ukrainian, attacked a passenger on a Rome train. The assault was caught on video, which shows that a woman who tried to stop the violence was left covered in blood.

"I'm a fascist," a tall young man is heard saying in Ukrainian as he approaches a commuter on the Rome-Lido train. Seconds later, the man with a shaved head is seen pushing his victim and then punching him.

Other passengers tried to stand by the attacked man, reportedly a 28-year-old Indian, but seemed panicked after things started to heat up, and jumped from their seats to avoid getting caught in the crossfire. The camera did not catch the whole incident as the witness-turned-cameraman turned his phone away several times.

Fmr ICE director offers answers to dangerous migrant "catch and release" policy

Agents riding the US border police await the arrival of Kirstjen M. Nielsen, US Secretary of Internal Security, for the inauguration of the first stretch of wall on the Mexican border in the area called "El Centro"

Former ICE acting director Tom Homan warns that cartels and smugglers are watching to see how the U.S. handles the migrant caravans. Border Patrol apprehensions of family units increased 620 percent in the last five years.

As the midterm approaches, along with the caravan of migrants from Central America and Mexico, the White House may authorize up to 15,000 troops to assist federal law enforcement agencies along the nearly 2,000-mile southern border with Mexico. This, according to current and former federal law enforcement officials, would send a message to future migrant groups and curb the flow of illicit drugs and contraband by narco-traffickers into the country.

The issue of "catch and release" whereby mainly family units are apprehended when they come into the country and later released pending immigration court proceedings, is a major loophole being exploited by illegal migrants trying to find ways to enter the United States, said former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Tom Homan, who is now a Fox News Contributor.

A US soldier has been killed and one more wounded in an "apparent insider attack" in Kabul, according to AFP citing NATO mission in Afghanistan. The attacker was reportedly killed.

NATO's Resolute Support confirmed that the perpetrator served in the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces, according to Tolo.

The victim wounded in the shooting is in "stable condition" and was reportedly sent to Bagram Airfield, north of Kabul. The name of the deceased soldier has not been disclosed.

The incident comes less than two weeks after a NATO soldier was killed in another suspected insider attack in western Herat province. Another such incident occurred in Logar province on September 3.

US Mid-Term Elections: I'm a 'Never Trumper.' I'm still voting Republican on Tuesday

As a confirmed "Never Trumper," I would be thrilled, if there were no other considerations, to see Donald Trump's Republican Party get blitzed in these elections and Trump therefore be humiliated.

But there are indeed other considerations. This election is not about Trump. For the best governance of this great land for the next two years, I would vote for a Republican for almost every federal office, anywhere in the country, on this year's ballot.

For Senate races, the choice would be easy. The Senate votes on judicial nominations, and Republicans consistently vote for responsible, constitutionalist judges. Democrats don't.

Prominent journalists and officials have rallied in Moscow to demand the release of Russian journalist Kirill Vyshinsky, held in Ukraine for over six months on suspicion of treason.

"Free Kirill Vyshinsky!" chanted scores of people who came to support the imprisoned head of RIA Novosti Ukraine news agency on Friday. Margarita Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of RT and Sputnik, as well as Russian media executive Dmitry Kiselev, Russian lawmakers and rights activists took part in the rally near Ukraine's diplomatic mission in the Russian capital.

No one from the embassy came to face the demonstrators.

Starving Yemeni girl from shocking NYT photo dies as Western-backed slaughter continues

A starving Yemeni girl, whose searing portrait from a hospital bed brought the world's attention to the ongoing and growing humanitarian disaster in the country, has died. Meanwhile, the Saudi-led blockade of supplies continues.

The photo of an emaciated Amal Hussein was published as part of a story in the New York Times last week, highlighting the growing human tragedies caused by the ongoing fighting and the devastating impact the Saudi Arabia-led bombing campaign has had on civilians.

On Thursday, her family told the paper that Amal had died in a refugee camp, several miles from the hospital that had tried to treat her. She was seven years old.

Dead & duct-taped Saudi sisters found on banks of Hudson could be suicide

Two Saudi sisters found dead and duct-taped together on the banks of New York's Hudson River were seen praying near the water hours before their bodies were found, in a baffling case that police say shows no signs of foul play.

The sisters, Rotana Farea (22) and Tala Farea (16) were discovered on October 24 on the banks of the river, having gone missing two months previously from Fairfax, Virginia, where they lived with their family. So far, the investigation has revealed that the sisters traveled from Washington DC to Philadelphia, before arriving New York City on September 1.

At a press conference on Friday, police said they had "no credible information" that any crime took place, but confirmed that their probe is ongoing. Investigators tracked the girls' last movements using credit card records, which showed that they had "maxed out" a card staying in a number of "high end" hotels in New York, where they ordered meals for two people every day in the days leading to their deaths.

Comment: It is possible that the prospect of moving to Saudi Arabia, and being separated, was just too much for the sisters:

US citizen militia groups say they will help stop caravan at the border

Militia groups and far-right activists are raising money and announcing plans to head to the Mexican border to help stop the caravan of Central Americans, often echoing President Donald Trump's attacks on the migrants making their way toward the U.S.

Exactly how many militia members will turn out is unclear, and as of Friday, the caravan of about 4,000 people was still some 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers) and weeks away from reaching this country.

But the prospect of armed civilians at the border - and the escalating political rhetoric over immigration - have fueled fears of vigilantism at a time when tensions are already running high because of the mail bomb attacks against some of Trump's critics.

Mexico's highest court declares marijuana prohibition unconstitutional

RT
Fri, 02 Nov 2018 21:13 UTC

The ban on marijuana use in Mexico has been declared unconstitutional by the supreme court, raising hopes that one day the drug might be legalized and available for commercial sale.

The historic ruling ruling was handed down on Wednesday in two individual cases concerning personal use of marijuana. It brings the number of similar rulings to five, with the highest court now ordering that Mexico's Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risk enable people to take the drug.

The ruling found that "adults have a fundamental right to personal development which lets them decide their recreational activities without interference from the state," according to the Associated Press.

"That right is not absolute, and the consumption of certain substances may be regulated, but the effects provoked by marijuana do not justify an absolute prohibition of its consumption," the supreme court added, according to reports.

Comment: The prohibition of cannabis (marijuana) was a policy concocted by the US which it demanded its 'allies' follow, but now with legalization in Canada, and increasingly throughout the US and Europe, it makes sense that Mexico would follow suit:
