A New York man claims he was attacked by a group of teenagers in Manhattan this week for wearing one of President Trump's "Make America Great Again" hats.

Jahangir "John" Turan, the owner of an art gallery, told Fox 5 New York that the incident occurred Tuesday afternoon on Canal Street.

Earlier in the day, he said he visited Trump Tower and purchased one of the signature red hats featuring Trump's 2016 campaign slogan because "I think he's doing a great job."

There are many reasons to be careful about food safety - recalls and contamination with bacteria sure seem fairly common these days - but it turns out, there's another menace lurking in grocery stores...

People.

Yesterday as I was scanning the news, a headline caught my attention:
Woman Wanted For Urinating On Potatoes At Pennsylvania Walmart, Police Say
Police released surveillance images of the woman on their website. Today, it was announced that the woman turned herself in:
According to police, the woman is accused of urinating on a bin of potatoes after entering the store. She left soon after.

Police identified that woman as Grace Brown. She is now being charged with criminal mischief, open lewdness, disorderly conduct, and public drunkness. She is awaiting a preliminary hearing. (source)
Thankfully, employees spotted the urine, cleaned and sanitized the area, and tossed out the potatoes.

This, unfortunately, is not the only recent case of someone tampering with food in a store.

Drugged Nation: Over a Million children under the age of Six are taking Psychiatric medications in America

psychiatric drugs
Statistics shows that one in six Americans takes psychiatric drugs. This is a rather serious information, and it points out to the fact that most people are unaware of the danger brought by this medication. Do you know that children take these drugs, too?

According to mental health watchdog group Citizen Commission on Human Rights, more than a million kids under six take psychiatric drugs. Half a million kids are aged between four and five. Believe it or not, 274,804 are a year old or younger. Babies are given psychiatric drugs. Does it get any worse than this? About 370,778 toddlers aged 2-3 take this medication.

The situation is a lot more serious than this. About 4,130,340 children aged 6-12 take psychiatric drugs as confirmed by the data from IMS Health.

Historic moment in India as law banning 'triple talaq instant divorce' Islamic practice is passed by parliament

Modi india

'And if anyone doesn't like it, they can move to Pakistan.'
Indian lawmakers have passed legislation banning the Muslim practice known as 'instant divorce.' Proponents of the bill say it will protect Muslim women while critics argue its penalties are too harsh and target Muslims unfairly.

'Triple talaq,' as the controversial practice is also known in India, allows a husband to separate from his wife merely by uttering "talaq," the Arabic word for divorce, three times consecutively, whether verbally, in written form or even through a tweet or text message.

Comment: Narendra Modi has changed Indian politics for the better by tackling the issues that no other political party would dare touch since the country's independence in 1947. By empowering tens of millions of Muslim women with this bill, he has done more to reform Islam than any other leader in the past century.

During the recent parliamentary election, Modi received large support from all sections of society, including businessmen (of all sizes), farmers, Dalits (so-called untouchables), backward casts, the upper caste and remote tribal groups, thus dismantling more than four decades of entrenched voting habits.

Now that criticism is crushed in the West, Israel can revel in impunity

Recent events have shone a spotlight not only on how Israel is intensifying its abuse of Palestinians under its rule, but the utterly depraved complicity of western governments in its actions.

The arrival of Donald Trump in the White House two-and-a-half years ago has emboldened Israel as never before, leaving it free to unleash new waves of brutality in the occupied territories. Western states have not only turned a blind eye to these outrages, but are actively assisting in silencing anyone who dares to speak out.

It is rapidly creating a vicious spiral: the more Israel violates international law, the more the West represses criticism, the more Israel luxuriates in its impunity.

This shameless descent was starkly illustrated last week when hundreds of heavily armed Israeli soldiers, many of them masked, raided a neighbourhood of Sur Baher, on the edges of Jerusalem. Explosives and bulldozers destroyed dozens of homes, leaving many hundreds of Palestinians without a roof over their heads.

Hamza bin Laden, son of Osama bin Laden, reported dead

Hamza bin Laden
US officials claim Washington has intelligence that the son and possible successor of Osama bin Laden has been killed, NBC reports. As of yet, the officials have provided few additional details.

Three US officials who requested anonymity told NBC that Hamza bin Laden - son of terror leader and founder of al-Qeada Osama bin Laden - has been killed. The circumstances of his death, or whether there was American involvement, are not clear.

Hamza bin Laden gave his last known public statement to the al-Qaeda group's media arm in 2018, threatening Saudi Arabia with attack and calling for the overthrow of the Saudi monarchy, but has not been heard from since.

According to former FBI agent and counter terrorism expert Ali Soufan, Hamza was "being prepared for a leadership role in the organization his father founded," and would likely be looked on favorably by the "jihadi rank-and-file" were he to take on that role.

Puerto Rico: More FEMA relief water caches located years after hurricanes Maria and Irma killed thousands

Field of water bottles
Tens of thousands of water bottles intended for hurricane survivors in Puerto Rico have been found sitting in a field unopened. After a similar discovery last year, the find suggests massive waste in the US disaster relief effort.

Nearly two years after a pair of hurricanes rocked Puerto Rico, killing thousands, traces of Washington's ill-fated relief project still litter the country. Aerial photos captured by the AFP news agency reveal a veritable ocean of waste: countless water bottles heaped onto pallets on farmland near the city of San Juan.

Puerto Rico was devastated by Hurricane Maria in 2017, the deadliest storm to hit the country in decades. The disaster caused an estimated $100 billion in damage and left nearly 3,000 dead. Maria hit just weeks after Hurricane Irma, which also caused deaths and extensive damage.

A spokesman for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), one of the bodies tasked with overseeing disaster relief in Puerto Rico after the storms, said the water is expired surplus, and that the agency is currently in the process of disposing of the bottles.

Taking a page from Pompeo: UMich prof teaches his students to lie, takes aim at Trump

A Michigan lecturer teaches a public policy course in which he instructs students to lie, while also taking aim at President Donald Trump.

Last offered during the winter 2019 semester, "Values & Ethics: Lying and Public Policy" (PUBPOL 474) was taught by University of Michigan public policy professor David Morse.

"Each student in my class starts by proposing a lie with a political agenda"

In an opinion piece posted Tuesday for The Washington Post, Morse detailed his experience teaching the course and prefaced his account by stating that "Trump's lying might encourage Americans to lie more frequently" and "we have good reason to fear that Trump's lying threatens our democracy."

Comment: Wow . . . . just, wow. But given we are governed by psychopaths, it's no wonder their pale imitations end up in lesser positions of power.

Pompeo, who once said the CIA 'lies, cheats and steals', defends US intel on Huawei spying

From Political Ponerology on the author's experience of attempted indoctrination at university:
We tried to evaluate the talent level of those colleagues who had succumbed to this personality-transformation process, and reached the conclusion that, on average, it was slightly lower than the average of the student population. Their lesser resistance obviously resided in other bio-psychological features which were most probably qualitatively heterogeneous. I found that I had to study subjects bordering on psychology and psychopathology in order to answer the questions arising from our observations; scientific neglect in these areas proved an obstacle difficult to overcome. At the same time, someone guided by special knowledge apparently vacated the libraries of anything we could have found on the topic; books were indexed, but not physically present.

Analyzing these occurrences now in hindsight, we could say that the "professor" was dangling bait over our heads, based on specific psychological knowledge. He knew in advance that he would fish out amenable individuals, and even how to do it, but the limited numbers disappointed him. The transpersonification process generally took hold only when an individual's instinctive substratum was marked by pallor or certain deficits. To a lesser extent, it also worked among people who manifested other deficiencies in which the state provoked within them was partially impermanent, being largely the result of psychopathological induction.

This knowledge about the existence of susceptible individuals and how to work on them will continue being a tool for world conquest as long as it remains the secret of such "professors". When it becomes skillfully popularized science, it will help nations to develop immunity. But none of us knew this at the time.

Black man sues white Mississippi cops for beating him to a bloody pulp

An African American man was beaten to a bloody pulp by white Mississippi law enforcement officers during a traffic stop this month, the man's attorney has claimed.

But a sheriff defended the officers, saying that 28-year-old David Logan resisted arrest and that his account of what unfolded is "not even close to what happened."

Logan's attorney, Carlos Moore, shared a disturbing photo of Logan on Monday that showed his shirtless client with his hands behind his back, a swollen left eye and blood streaming down his face onto his chest.

Moore claimed that during the July 18 incident in northern Mississippi's Yalobusha County, officers tased an unarmed Logan and beat him.

"They roughed him up to the extent that he was out of his clothes," said Moore, who added that Logan had to be treated at two hospitals for a broken bone near one eye and was left with double vision and sleeping problems from the incident.

Moore told the Oxford Eagle that the officers "attacked [Logan], threw him on concrete pavement, tased him, roughed him up real bad."
