Society's Child
The man, who according to Italian media was unarmed, broke into the office and grabbed the director. He dragged him into a room with 20 students, pulled a female student towards him and told everyone not to move.
At that point police broke in and used pepper spray to stop him. A member of the Carabinieri, two police officers and a woman were injured.
After much talk, economists and so-called health experts have finally decided what's best for society: no steak for you!
Do you think you and your family deserve an extra tax for having a steak every now and then? Well, brace yourselves...because social taxes are what's for dinner.
Remember when smoking was the only socially engineered target of government health nannies? Then fat, then sugar, then caffeine and now even soda.
The American public has been encouraged to gorge themselves on decadent, calorie-rich food for decades. Now people are being watched with microscopes and being shamed for doing just that. Or rather, for enjoying themselves occasionally because who can even afford steaks now? After all, you are responsible for other people's healthcare costs.
In one of the most Orwellian bills to date, lawmakers in New York have drafted and proposed a bill that will require a review of a citizens social media as well as their search engine history, going back years-just to buy a gun.
Senate Bill 9191 would establish an official investigation officer who would scour the social media posts and search engine history of anyone attempting to purchase a gun. It also applies to current gun owners who want to renew their licenses.
Comment: The onstitutional right to own a gun in the US is being taken away bit, by bit, by bit:

One in five said they have too much influence in the media and the same number believe they have too much influence in politics.
Meanwhile, a third of Europeans in the poll said they knew just a little or nothing at all about the Holocaust, the mass murder of some six million Jews in lands controlled by Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime in the 1930s and 1940s.
Those are among the key findings of a survey carried out by pollster ComRes for CNN. The CNN/ComRes poll interviewed more than 7,000 people across Europe, with more than 1,000 respondents each in Austria, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Poland and Sweden.
Three of the Damascus High School athletes, who NBC News is not identifying, were charged with two counts of first-degree rape and two counts of attempted rape, according to District Court of Maryland documents. One of the athletes was charged with four counts of first-degree rape.
All four junior varsity athletes are charged with conspiracy to commit rape.
The students were each released Tuesday on $20,000 bond, according to court records.
A fifth teammate is accused of participating in at least one of the attacks and being charged as a juvenile but is also identified as one of four victims, charging documents show.
The mall takeover came two days after the protesters reportedly chucked smoke grenades and flares into the building, triggering the fire alarm and prompting an evacuation, as Hromadske radio reported. The masked group then barricaded the building's entrance with tires, and vandalized its windows with spray paint on Tuesday.
After two days of vandalism and provocation, around 200 of the group stormed the mall, demanding stores close down and blocking shoppers from making purchases. Around 30 riot police were on site, but seemed content to let the mob have the run of the mall.

Kristallnacht, anyone?
French netizens are claiming that attempts to share the photograph - which was snapped during Emmanuel Macron's PR-disastrous visit to the island nation of Saint Martin - are being thwarted by the social media giant.
One Frenchman testified on Twitter that he tried to post the photograph along with a snarky caption ("Funny way to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Fifth Republic") on Facebook - but that his internet masterpiece was prevented from going public. "Reason: Nudity! These people are crazy," the tweet added.

Livni said that the entire goal of expanding settlements is just what Palestinians have told us it is, to force the state to provide those Jews with security, so the army is there, and “we never have to yield any territory.” But the right should be careful of what they wish for!
A plan put forward last month by the quasi-official Israeli thinktank - and home to former US ambassador Dan Shapiro - the Institute for National Security Studies includes those measures. Build as much as you like inside existing settlements but go no further.
The goal is the combined demonstration of the determination to advance toward separation, reduction in the friction and dangers arising from expansion of settlements deep in the Palestinian territories, and allocation of space for Palestinian territorial contiguity.The critical word in all such plans is "separation." Netanyahu and friends have done a terrible thing by all but annexing large portions of the West Bank creating a de facto one state solution in which Israel has sovereignty over a large Palestinian population, thereby threatening the Jewish majority of Israel.
Much of the response to this journal has been criticism alleging that only academics with hateful ideas would require the option to publish under a pseudonym. In truth, facts today are deemed controversial if they deviate from accepted narratives, and professors must self-censor out of fear of being condemned and losing their jobs.
Based on conversations I've had with colleagues still working in academia and from what I can tell about recent cases of censorship, the antagonism is primarily from left-leaning colleagues attacking other liberals. The problem has been increasing and was the reason I chose to leave the field of sex research.
Comment: The fact that there even needs to be a Journal of Controversial Ideas should be a red flag for our culture. Shouldn't all academic ideas be controversial, or at least challenging in some way? Academics are supposed to be working to uncover truth, not publishing 'safe' ideas that won't offend anyone. We certainly hope this new journal is successful, but have a feeling it will be smeared with all sorts of unflattering labels (alt right? Nazi? Transphobic?) the second they publish anything remotely interesting.

Authorities in Berlin gathered on 26 November to discuss a 5-point plan to curb Arab gangs rampant in the German capital, Die Welt reported. First of all, a Coordination Office on Organized Crime will be established to ensure flawless and timely cooperation between various offices, agencies and departments in the city. Apart from police and tax investigators, immigration offices and even job centres will participate in the new joint venture.
Secondly, Berlin authorities are planning to strengthen control over trade and financial operations to prevent money laundering, thus depriving Arab gangs of income. Moreover, they are to clamp down hard against all criminal assets and property to ensure its confiscation.
Participants of the meeting also agreed to adopt a 'zero tolerance policy' towards even minor crimes committed by gang members. Authorities have vowed to vigorously prosecute not only those involved in drug trafficking, burglary or robbery, but even illegal parking or street racing.
