A T-shirt depicting support for President Donald Trump's proposed border wall sparked a legal battle Friday when an Oregon student sued his high school to defend his First Amendment rights.

Eighteen-year-old Addison Barnes wore a shirt emblazoned with "Donald J Trump Border Wall Construction Co" to school, on the day his class was scheduled to debate about border security.

Minutes into the discussion, Liberty High School's Assistant Principal Amanda Ryan-Fear asked Barnes to step out of the classroom and demanded he change out of his shirt because his clothes offended some of the school's students and teachers.

Barnes put on a jacket to comply, but he said he soon decided that he didn't need to cover up an expression of his right to free speech.

"I decided, 'You know, this isn't right,'" Barnes told local television station KPTV. "I have my First Amendment, and it's not right what they're doing."

According to the lawsuit, Ryan-Fear told Barnes she would suspend him for "defiance" if he ignored her demands any longer.

Innocent woman wins lawsuit after police choke, slam and stomp her

Saving a person's life by rushing them to the hospital after they've been shot should not be a punishable offense much less get you beaten and kidnapped. However, for OyZhana Williams, who dropped a man at the emergency room who'd just been shot, that is exactly what happened-thanks to Aurora police officers. Now, however, because of a defunct system, the taxpayers-not the officers-will be held accountable for the abuse.

Last year, Williams, 23, filed an excessive force lawsuit against the Aurora police department whose officers, Sergeant Michal Hawkins, Jordan Odneal, and Jose Ortiz, were seen on video allegedly choking, slamming and stomping the innocent woman just before making up bogus charges against her, according to the lawsuit.

Adam Frank, an attorney for Williams said in a statement on Tuesday that the settlement of $335,000 illustrates what happens when police officers fail to recognize their own emotions and cannot de-escalate tense situations, according to the Denver Post.

"It's the ultimate case of contempt of cop," Frank said. "It's obvious the most dangerous thing you can do is not break any laws but make a cop mad at you."

The Christian Zionist Movement was started by a disbarred convict in 1909

It seems highly likely that the founder of the movement was backed by wealthy Jewish interests intent on building popular support for Zionism.

Though Sugar and I, er, "The Editorial Board" of The Anti-New York Times take great delight in bitch-slapping libtards and pointy-headed intellectuals, it is important to emphasize that not all of America's insane people are found on the political "Left."

Though "Christian Zionists" are much closer to our views on social, political and economic matters, their dangerous lunacy when it comes to blindly supporting "the chosen people" and Greater Israel as "end times" requirements calls for an equal-opportunity beat down of these irrational maniacs.

Comment: Colorful language aside, the author' point that the Christian Zionist Movement is founded on an out-and-out lie is valid.

Aleksandr Vinnik, the Russian cryptocurrency entrepreneur held in Greece on US charges of fraud, wants to be extradited to Russia to stand trial there. He has rejected conditions offered by US investigators, his lawyer said.

Vinnik, a Russian expert in cryptocurrency technologies, is being held in a Thessaloniki jail. Washington accuses him of laundering at least $4 billion in Bitcoin through a trading platform. He is also sought for extradition by Russia for alleged fraud.

Vinnik wants go back to Russia and is ready to cooperate with investigators, his lawyer Timofey Musatov said in an interview with RIA Novosti, published on Saturday. Musatov noted that his client has "no choice" as his children and wife, who became ill as a result of overwhelming stress relating to her husband's arrest, are in Russia.

"I want, in any circumstances, that my activities or my crimes are investigated in Russia. If I am guilty, I must be brought to punishment. I will cooperate with the investigation. I want to be in Russia under any circumstances," the lawyer said, citing his client.

You're gonna love the new Starbucks!

Starbucks recently enacted its "Third Place Policy" which means employees should consider anyone who enters the establishment a customer regardless whether they make a purchase.

"We are committed to creating a culture of warmth and belonging where everyone is welcome," Starbucks said.

Because customers who pay north of $5.00 for a fancy latte want to have a side of syringes.

Starbucks enacted this policy after they faced a huge backlash when two black men were arrested at a Philadelphia location.

This new policy is not only upsetting Starbucks employees, but paying customers as well, who are used to enjoying a pleasant atmosphere.

Comment: This is what can happen when you open your doors to any and everyone. Discrimination isn't always a dirty word.

SWAT raid on family
Young children were traumatized and injured by flash-bang grenades, an innocent father was terrorized and arrested by police, and their home was damaged, after a SWAT team carried out an early morning no-knock raid on the wrong house.

The ordeal began at 5:50 a.m. on Tuesday when the Bradley County Sheriff's Office teamed up with federal agents to conduct a raid on a house where they claimed a suspect in a murder case was staying. However, they actually terrorized an innocent family in a careless raid that should never have happened.

Spencer Renck shared the story in a Facebook status, noting that he had just gotten out of bed and was preparing to get ready for work when he heard loud noises and immediately thought his home was being burglarized.

"I heard loud banging noises upstairs so I grab my gun and try to run upstairs to protect my family from whatever was happening. I thought someone had broken in," Renck said. "But no it was the Bradley County and Hamilton County SWAT team RAIDING my house."

Comment: SWAT first, ask questions later:

More than 100 Palestinian protesters have been injured after gathering at the Israel-Gaza border to continue the March of Return protests, which have been marred by violence for over a month.

As of May 21, a total of 112 people have been killed, including 13 children and two journalists, and more than 13,000 people have been injured, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

On Friday, violence erupted again near Khan Younis, when Israeli troops fired tear gas and live rounds to ward off protesters who had gathered and burned tires about 800 meters from a security fence. Around 1,600 protesters descended on the area, with the Israel Defence Forces stating that rocks and burning tires were hurled at troops.

The violence follows the Israeli Supreme Court's decision to back the IDF in using live ammunition against protesters in Gaza. According to Reuters, the IDF also shot at burning projectiles such as kites sent towards Israeli territory.

Last ditch cry for help: Muslim girls fearing child marriage smuggle spoons in their underwear to alert airport security

Girls in Sweden are being advised that if they fear being taken overseas to be subjected to a forced marriage or Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) that they should hide a spoon in their underwear.

"The spoon will trigger metal detectors when you go through security checks," said Katarina Idegård who is the development manager for the unit charged with tackling honour-based violence in Sweden's second biggest city Gothenburg.

"You will be taken aside and you can then talk to staff in private," Ms. Idegård told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

"It is a last chance to sound the alarm," she added.

Airport staff in Gothenburg have been trained on how to handle such situations, and campaigners hope other cities and airports will adopt the same procedure.

Reuters reports that Sweden keeps no statistics on the number of girls who are sent abroad to be forced into marriages, but Ms. Idegård said a hotline has received 139 calls last year about forced and child marriages.
