Violence erupted between Israelis and Palestinians at the holy site of Temple Mount in East Jerusalem on Sunday, as hundreds of Jewish worshippers descended on the area for Jerusalem Day.

Footage posted by RT's video agency Ruptly shows police breaking up a fight between a group of Arab and Jewish men. Clashes reportedly began after around 1,000 Israelis moved towards Temple Mount with Star of David flags, chanting Jewish songs.

Jewish visitors were removed from the site for praying and bowing in contravention of regulations that ban all non-Muslims from praying in the grounds of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. At least one person was arrested on suspicion of bowing, reported the Jerusalem Post.

Flashback Judge dismisses army reservist's suit calling Obama's presidency into question

birther Obama case
A federal judge this morning dismissed the suit filed here by a U.S. Army reservist who says he shouldn't have to go to Afghanistan because he believes Barack Obama was never eligible to be president.

Judge Clay Land sided with the defense, which claimed in its response to Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook's suit, filed July 8 with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, that Cook's suit is "moot" in that he already has been told he doesn't have to go to Afghanistan, so the relief he is seeking has been granted.

"Federal court only has authority of actual cases and controversies," Land said. "The entire action is dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction."

Cook arrived at the federal courthouse in uniform this morning for his hearing.

Comment: Though it went nowhere at the time, the debate over Obama's eligibility to be president based on his true place of birth was a big sticking point among some several years ago:

Liberal harassment has now taken on a new meaning of the word deplorable - with reports suggesting that Barron Trump - the youngest of the President's children - has been subjected to bullying in his school for nothing more than being the child of President Trump

The report fro. Hollywood Life. suggests that Barron, just 12-years-old, has left his mother with heavy stress due to the fact that her son is suffering torment at the hands of his classmates.

The article claims that Melania Trump is "paralyzed with anxiety" of the attacks on her son and other brutally cruel headlines about her and even Stormy Daniels, of which the media endlessly perpetuate as if it's a matter of concern, despite the alleged affair occurring well over a decade prior to the Trump Presidency.

In a desperate bid for ratings, the media has attempted to recreate the vision of the 1990s, where Bill Clinton kept viewers tuned in to the mainstream news networks over his affair with Monica Lewinsky while he was in the White House.

UK tabloids have been working hard to scare football fans from going to the World Cup, because every Russian is a brutal ultra out for blood. Now The Sun has hit a new low, blatantly taking a photographer's work out of context.

A headline in The Sun on Saturday thunders: "ULTRA VIOLENCE" in capital letters. The article itself is mostly a collection of photos, which it says "reveal life inside Moscow's gritty underworld, where hardcore football fans and bare knuckle boxers rule the streets." Some incredibly insightful captions cooked up by the tabloid are attached.

Unluckily for The Sun, the person who took the photos decided not to stay silent and shared his disappointment with RT. He says the photos have been "clearly taken out of context."

Politicians don't like to be defeated, so when 17 of them were barred from entering a Mexican election due to a gender quota, they simply registered as transgender. However, their plan was foiled and their applications rejected.

The 17 candidates in Oaxaca, although innovative, are not transgender at all, according to local media cited by Reuters. Instead, they were part of a plan by various political parties to fill spots with males after they were not able to find enough females.

The electoral institute for the state confirmed that the candidates have been temporarily blocked due to "suspected irregularities,"adding that it "will be vigilant that the constitutional principle of equality is adhered to, and that women have effective access to public office."

In a Foreign Affairs Select Committee held in UK Parliament on Thursday, Deputy Chief Constable Roberts gave evidence that kicked tabloid headlines predicting a "bloodbath" between fans into touch.

"We've had a great number of meetings with them and every time we've met them, there is a consistent reassurance that their aspiration is to put on a safe event that shows Russia to the best of its abilities," Roberts told the committee.

Canada: Texters who distract drivers could be held liable in accidents, says insurance expert

insurance expert Canada Jordan Solway
Montreal - An insurance and legal expert says texters could be held liable for any damages if they message someone they know is driving and that person has an accident.

"There's an increasing public safety issue of operators of vehicles who are distracted while driving," lawyer Jordan Solway said in a recent interview.

"And if you contribute in the same way as if you're in the vehicle, and you interfere with their driving of the vehicle, you could be held responsible for that injured third party."

Solway, vice-president of claim at Travelers Canada, pointed to a New Jersey court ruling from 2013 that said the sender of a text who causes a driver to become distracted and have an accident may be held liable.

The case involved an 18-year-old driver's girlfriend who texted him about 25 seconds before his pickup truck crossed a median and seriously injured a motorcyclist and his wife. Both bikers lost their left legs as a result of the 2009 accident.

People promoting "hostility" towards a religion or the transgendered online could get much harsher sentences, of up to six years in jail, especial if they have a large online audience according to new proposals.

The Sentencing Council for England and Wales has drafted changes to public order offences, including anyone perceived as targeting online a "protected characteristics" including "race; sex; disability; age; sexual orientation; religion or belief; pregnancy and maternity; and gender reassignment."

The most severe punishments will be handed to those "in a position of trust, authority or influence and abuses their position to stir up hatred," such as political leaders or figureheads and anyone whose offences are "persistent."


Comment: What utter nonsense. This will be hopelessly abused. Just look at what is already happening. A veteran UK TV show host was recently forced to quit for not apologizing for something one of his guests said. His bosses told him he had to apologize on air, even though absolutely no one complained or was offended.



If an "offender was a member of, or was associated with, a group promoting hostility based on race or religion," their sentence will also be harsher.


Comment: So watch out if you are "associated with" a group "perceived as" promoting "hostility" to a certain race or religion. Sounds fair.


The Sentencing Council believes that the use of social media, YouTube, and other "websites" to stir hatred is a growing problem - despite the number of prosecutions remain relatively low.

"Volumes of these offences are extremely low and there have been no offenders sentenced for some offences," the Sentencing Council said.

Gun manufacturer's sever ties with Dick's Sporting Goods for promoting gun control

Dick's Sporting Goods gun control
Last month, Dick's Sporting Goods announced that they hired a lobbyist to advocate for gun control. Now, multiple gun manufacturers have severed ties with the sporting goods company.

Mossberg

Mossberg will no longer accept future orders from Dick's Sporting Goods or Field & Stream, a subsidiary of Dick's. The manufacturer is also reviewing any current contractual obligations they have with Dick's.

"It has come to our attention that Dick's Sporting Goods recently hired lobbyists on Capitol Hill to promote additional gun control," Iver Mossberg, Chief Executive Officer of O.F. Mossberg & Sons, said in a statement. "Make no mistake, Mossberg is a staunch supporter of the U.S. Constitution and our Second Amendment rights, and we fully disagree with Dick's Sporting Goods' recent anti-Second Amendment actions."

Comment: Not a very savvy business strategy on the part of the owners, it seems.
