A Palestinian protester is on life support after a tear gas canister launched by an Israeli soldier hit him square in the face. The still-smoking canister got lodged in the man's cheek and had to be surgically removed.

A Reuters photographer snapped the moment after a tear gas canister caught Palestinian protester Haitham Abu Sabla in the face. The blood-chilling images show the man splattered with blood, with the canister embedded right next to his nose, with the tear gas still billowing out of it, as well as from the protester's mouth.

The New York Times today printed a long article giving credence to Israeli claims that Razzan al-Najjar, the young medic killed by an Israeli sniper a week ago, was not innocent. The article takes at face value Israel's desperate efforts to taint the young woman, whom the army has previously maintained it killed by accident.

The first paragraph announces the Times' service to Israel:
The Israeli military published a brief video on Thursday aimed at showing that a Palestinian medic killed by Israeli forces last week was not the neutral health care worker she has been portrayed as.
The article parrots Israeli hasbara, or propaganda, about al-Najjar: that in a video interview of the medic that the Israelis passed along she described herself as a "human shield."

Financial guru Peter Schiff says everyone is being fooled by the mainstream media when it comes to the economic health of the United States. But Schiff says it is all a delusion and phony prosperity isn't going to last.

A lot of seemingly positive economic data came out last week, but in his most recent podcast, Peter Schiff said it is just feeding into a delusional economic narrative that ignores the most fundamental storyline - debt. According to Seeking Alpha, Schiff says that this delusion built on debt is not going to last, and we should all be prepared.

Hobart and William Smith Colleges is offering a course next year to teach students how "objectivity" and "meritocracy" function as "white mythologies."

"White Mythologies: Objectivity, Meritocracy, and Other Social Constructions" is a sophomore-level course taught by Kendralin Freeman and Jason Rodriguez, who are sociology and anthropology professors, respectively.

"This course explores the history and ongoing manifestations of 'white mythologies' - long-standing, often implicit views about the place of White, male, Euro-American subjects as the norm," explains the course description, which adds that students will also "explore how systematic logics that position 'the West' and 'whiteness' as the ideal manifest through such social constructions as objectivity, meritocracy, and race."

French homeowner dumps garbage left bad tenants
Homeowner Mr Ravaux posted the evidence on social media before hiring a van to "return" the rubbish

A homeowner in a small French town has received overwhelming support after he dumped a lorry full of rubbish and old furniture left by his former tenants, in front of their new property.

Thomas Ravaux hired a lorry to pick up all of the rubbish - which included rubble, furniture, toys, bags, and other large items - that his former tenants had left behind when they vacated his 120mยฒ property in the small French town of Rozoy-sur-Serre (Aisne, Hauts-de-France).

The tenants had reportedly left without warning after 14 months of unpaid rent, and had stopped replying to Mr Ravaux's calls and letters.

According to Mr Ravaux's updates and photographs on social media (below), the tenants - who he said have three children - had left the property "in carnage".

The rubbish included a lorry-worth of debris, rubbish, children's toys, old magazines, papers, plastic buckets, white goods, old computers, towels, clothes, and pieces of broken furniture strewn across the floor, in all of the rooms.

Mr Ravaux said they had also left rotting food in the fridge.

ะŸั€ะธะฒะตั‚ ะดั€ัƒะทัŒั! Hello friends! As many of you will undoubtedly know by now, Russia is, among other things, the centre of evil in the world. Their insidious hacking knows no limits, their masterful geopolitical strategies have led them to the brink of completely conquering the West once and for all. With their ubiquitous and omnipotent propaganda playing us all continuously like salivating dogs at a Pavlovian bistro, the question for all of us - especially for the dozens of highly-paid patriots in our security agencies - is: how are we to effectively defend ourselves against a scheme that would make Machiavelli blush? Oh, to be sure, there are those out there who would question this "enemy" status, propounding that such realities are the paranoid delusions of schizophrenic madmen, attempting to cajole us into thinking that Russia only desires friendly, mutually beneficial relations, but as I'm sure you're aware, the facts of the matter are plain for all to see.

A group of 56 lawmakers led by Rep. Vicky Hartzler, R-Mo., is urging federal officials to investigate the extent to which Planned Parenthood fails to report suspected sexual abuse of minors.

In a letter Thursday to the Department of Health and Human Services, Hartzler and 55 other Republicans ask the agency to probe whether Planned Parenthood, as a recipient of federal Title X funds, "failed in its duty to report suspected child abuse to local authorities and to HHS."

Hartzler and other signers announced the formal request of an investigation in a press conference Thursday morning at the Capitol.

Comment: It's high time Planned Parenthood received more scrutiny! A few examples of its 'contributions' to the well-being of society:

cop tasers kid
The family of a special needs student at Mayde Creek High School has filed a lawsuit against the school district after disturbing video showed a Katy ISD police officer repeatedly taser their son until he defecated himself and threw up. His "crime"? Trying to walk outside.

The video, taken from Katy ISD officer Elvin Paley's body camera shows 17-year-old Jevon Washington attempt to walk out of the school after he began to have some sort of panic attack while in class.

The incident happened in November of 2016 and the video is just now being released as Washington's mother has come forward after she says no one is answering her questions.

"This was not necessary, it was excessive force," Jevon's mother, Lori Washington told ABC13.

On that November day, Washington who is in special education at the school, says he was merely trying to go outside to "blow off some steam, but a male school official blocked him, asking him over and over why he wanted to leave."

At least four Palestinians, including one 15-year-old, have been killed at protests in Gaza. The protests are a continuation of the Great Return March, and this week marks both Naksa Day and Jerusalem Day.

'Naksa,' or setback, is what Palestinians call the anniversary of the 1967 Six-Day War on June 5, which saw Israel annex the West Bank from Jordan and the Gaza strip from Egypt. It is also 'Quds Day' or Jerusalem Day, which Iran established in 1979 to support Palestinians.

The Gaza Ministry of Health announced more than 500 have been injured at the protests along the Gaza-Israel security fence. At least 80 of the injuries are from live gunfire and some are in critical condition.

Soldiers from Australia's elite Special Air Service (SAS) allegedly committed war crimes in Afghanistan, according to a leaked military inquiry. The document notes "violence" and a "disregard for human life" by servicemen.

The leaked report, seen by Fairfax Media, includes details of a confidential defense inquiry which was commissioned in 2016 by then-Special Operations Commander Major General Jeff Sengelman and conducted by a defense department consultant.

It cites special forces insiders who stated that soldiers had practiced the "unsanctioned and illegal application of violence on operations" which extend to a "disregard for human life and dignity."

Citing witnesses, the report said there is a "pattern of...cover-ups - real or imagined, and misdemeanors or more serious offenses in the field, as well as a culture of drug and alcohol abuse." It continues to say that at the very least, "there is no doubt that there are major issues of morale or performance..."

In addition to alleged drug and alcohol issues and violence among operations, the report mentions "the perception of a complete lack of accountability at all times."
