London Metropolitan Police have arrested over 85 protesters following large scale demonstrations which saw activists block off five of London's major bridges as part of a "day of rebellion" over climate change.

Extinction Rebellion activists began blocking the Blackfriars, Waterloo, Westminster, Lambeth and Southwark bridges during the morning. Protesters gathered to hold sit-ins on the bridges, preventing vehicles from accessing the city centre and creating one of the largest acts of peaceful civil disobedience seen in the UK in years.

"The demonstration is having a direct impact on others across London including emergency services. Organisers failed to engage with Police prior to the event and we were unable to work with them to plan and make considerations for other Londoners." Metropolitan Police said.

US Navy SEALs and 'elite' Marines murder Green Beret for reporting their appalling behavior

Two Navy SEALs and two Marine Raiders have been charged with murder after an Army Green Beret died in an apparent hazing attempt gone wrong. The case stained the reputation of the US' most elite special forces units.

Sgt. Logan Melgar deployed to the west African nation of Mali in 2017, where he was part of a team tasked with assisting ongoing French counterterrorism operations. Melgar shared housing with the two SEALs and two Raiders, whose unprofessionalism quickly rankled the Green Beret.

The SEALS, Anthony DeDolph and Adam Matthews were both members of Seal Team 6, the elite unit responsible for taking down Osama bin Laden in 2011. The Marines are still unnamed but are members of the Raiders, one of the Corps' most elite units.

According to a source quoted by the Daily Beast, Melgar instantly clashed with the SEALS, who lived a high life in the impoverished city of Bamako, Mali's capital. The operators were allegedly bringing prostitutes back to the house regularly, and pocketing cash from a fund used to recruit Islamist informants.

Comment: The litany of offenses committed by US military personnel provides insight into just what characters they want in their ranks:

Life in fear: 1 in 3 US drone-strike deaths in Yemen are civilians, including children according to new report

Bombings by the Saudi-led coalition may have devastated Yemen, but the country faces another deadly threat in the sky - US drones. A third of those killed by them in 2018 were civilians, including children, according to a report.

"We live in fear. Drones don't leave the sky," said one farmer, describing the day that two of his relatives were killed in a US drone strike. His is one of several testimonies recorded in a new report by Associated Press documenting the rising civilian death toll caused by the US drone war against Al-Qaeda's Yemeni franchise.

While gathering an official toll of civilian deaths caused by US drone strikes is difficult - due to the inability to confirm identities or allegiances - estimates by AP show that a third of those killed so far in 2018, or some 30 people, were not members of the terrorist group. Some 215 civilians were killed by drones since the campaign started in 2002, according to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.

Some drone strikes kill several people in one family, as happened in January 2018 when a car full of civilians looking for a lost boy was struck by a US drone. Seven were killed in the strike, including five of the boy's family.

White Jewish supremacism? Hasidic mob swarms black Jew for carrying a Torah

Yehuda Webster has a routine when it comes to Torahs.

Just about every month, he picks up a rented Torah in a plastic sleeve from J. Levine Books and Judaica in Manhattan. He uses the Torahs for the bar and bat mitzvah ceremonies he arranges through an organization he founded, for families that don't belong to a synagogue. Then he gets in a Lyft and returns the Torah to J. Levine.

On Monday, that routine was ruptured.

That morning, he walked out of his apartment in the heart of the heavily Hasidic Brooklyn neighborhood Crown Heights, Torah in hand. Almost immediately, Webster, who is black, was confronted by a Hasidic man who Webster says demanded to know where he was going with the Torah. Webster shrugged him off, telling the man it wasn't his business.

By the time Webster got into his Lyft at a nearby intersection, several more men were accosting him. When the Lyft driver tried to leave, a car swerved in front of the car, trapping them.

"And that's when things got really scary," Webster told the Forward.

California Congressman urges gun owners to disarm: 'The government has nukes'

California Congressman with 2020 presidential aspirations Eric Swalwell has confirmed he favored confiscating guns and even had a 'nuclear' take on what the government would do if it faced resistance.

In an op-ed published Thursday in USA Today, Swalwell (D-California) proposed a $15 billion buyback program for "assault weapons," as well as criminal prosecution of anyone who chooses to keep their guns.

"So basically Swalwell wants a war. Because that's what you would get," airborne veteran and gun pundit Joe Biggs commented on Twitter - to which Swalwell replied that the government would win such a war, because it has atomic weapons.

"And it would be a short war my friend. The government has nukes. Too many of them. But they're legit," the congressman wrote.

Drug dealer who raped dying schoolgirl, stuffs her body into crate, gets less than 3 years in jail

A prison sentence of 34 months given to 20-year-old drug dealer was the legal maximum, despite his admitting to overdosing and raping an 18-year-old schoolgirl, as well as allowing her to die and trying to dispose of her body.

Snohomish County Judge Linda Krese was "surprised" and "outraged" by the deficiency in Washington's state law which only allowed her to sentence Brian Varela to 34 months in prison - the maximum judgment for an individual with no prior criminal record.

Varela pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter, third-degree rape, and unlawful disposal of remains of Alyssa Noceda last February. According to case documents, the 20-year-old, who was known to use and sell drugs, invited the teenage victim to a house party where he offered her narcotics.

Comment: At least in this instance the Judge acknowledged the punishment was woefully inadequate - it's actually a travesty - but the fact that far too often the letter of the law takes precedence over common sense is a damning reflection on our society:

Canada's crude crisis accelerating

Canadian oil producers are in an increasingly tough predicament. With high and increasing oil demand around the globe over the last year, Canadian oil production has increased accordingly. All of this is simple and predictable economics, but now Canadian oil has hit a massive roadblock. Producers have the supply, and they have more than enough demand, but they don't have the means to make the connection. Canadian export pipelines simply don't have the capacity to keep up with either the supply or the demand.

Canadian oil producers have now maxed out their storage capacity, and the Canadian glut continues to grow while they wait for a solution to the pipeline problem to materialize. As pipeline space is at a premium and storage has hit maximum capacity, oil prices have fallen dramatically, and the differentials that had previously been hitting heavy oil hard in Canada (now at below $18 a barrel for the first time since 2016) have now spread to light oil and upgraded synthetic oil sands crude as well, leaving overall Canadian oil prices at record lows.

Boys left to fail at school because attempts to help them earn wrath of feminists, says ex-UK admissions chief

Girls outperform boys in all aspects of education, from primary school to GCSEs and A-level results

Britain's education system is failing to tackle the "astonishing" under-performance of boys as feminists have made the topic "taboo", the former head of the university admissions service has warned.

Mary Curnock Cook, who was chief executive of Ucas until last year, said the fact that boys are falling behind in education is a national scandal - yet it is such an "unfashionable" topic to discuss that it has become "normalised".

Girls outperform boys in all aspects of education, from primary school to GCSEs and A-level results. Last year, 57 per cent of women went to university compared to 43 per cent of men, a gap that has widened significantly over the last decade.

Comment: With the rise of rabid feminism, boys are being left behind. It's a despicable state of affairs when the fight for 'equality' means destroying the opportunities for the formerly 'privileged' group.

Rare white lion Mufasa locked in bizarre custody battle, fears animal could be auctioned off to hunters

A rare white lion is at the center of a tug of war between conservationists and a South African government department, which one sanctuary fears could lead the animal to being auctioned off to hunters.

Mufasa the white lion has been in the care of South Africa's WildForLife rehabilitation charity since being rescued from a private owner in 2015 by officials from the North West Department of the Environment.

But the white lion is now caught in a bizarre custody battle, with the government agency refusing to move the animal to a new recommended reserve, prompting Mufasa's former vet to state their fears that he might be auctioned off.

According to the Sunday Times, Tjitske Schouwstra, owner of WildForLife and former carer for Mufasa, requested that the rare lion be sent to a new sanctuary in Limpopo. However, the request was rejected by authorities in South Africa, leading to speculation that Mufasa could be sold to the highest bidder - potentially trophy hunters - in an effort to reclaim costs ran up during a previous legal wrangle with the former private owner.

Dartmouth lawsuit: College allowed professors to sexually prey on students for years

Dartmouth College administrators covered up for a trio of lewd professors who used their classrooms as a sexual hunting ground for over a decade, even threatening victims who spoke up, according to a new lawsuit.

Seven former graduate students are suing the school, alleging staff "willfully ignored" more than 10 years' worth of complaints about the institutionalized sexual harassment infecting the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences from top to bottom. When students did complain -about groping, harassing comments, even rape- administrators failed to act, hinting instead at unpleasant consequences for the complainants.

The plaintiffs are seeking $70 million in damages and want the New Hampshire ivy to adopt policies that would prevent a repeat of such abuse. Lawyer Deborah Marcuse explained the suit, filed Thursday, was a last-ditch effort to make Dartmouth a place where women can "be safe and able to, as they say, put their heads down and do science."
