Paris is set to ban smoking in the city's parks and gardens this summer in an attempt to stub out the unhealthy habit among Parisians and cut down on cigarette butts in green spaces.

The ban will affect four parks and gardens in Paris from the summer for a four-month period and will be rolled out across the city from the autumn. The move, which City Hall hopes to eventually make permanent, is the latest attempt to cut down on smoking in France.

"The goal is to fight smoking and the trivialization of cigarettes among the young and to respect non-smokers," said Paris councillor Laurence Goldgrab.

What modern war propaganda looks like

Iranian propaganda
I've been noticing videos going viral the last few days, some with millions of views, about Muslim women bravely fighting to free themselves from oppression in the Middle East. The videos, curiously, are being shared enthusiastically by many Republicans and pro-Israel hawks, who aren't traditionally the sort of crowd you see rallying to support the civil rights of Muslims. What's up with that?

Well, you may want to sit down for this shocker, but it turns out that they happen to be women from a nation that the US war machine is currently escalating operations against. They are Iranian.

SOTT Focus: UK Academic: 'Everything the Mainstream Media Tells You About Venezuela Is Lies'

Over the course of two tumultuous decades, the US government has determinedly endeavored to destabilize, undermine and ultimately depose the democratically-elected government of Venezuela without pause. First they came for Hugo Chavez, then his successor Nicolas Maduro.

One wouldn't be able to discern this iniquitous reality from mainstream Western news reporting, however. Alan MacLeod, an academic specializing in media theory and analysis - and member of Glasgow University's respected Media Group - set out to discover why.

Comment: And, unfortunately still the case, 'Western sources' remain the overwhelmingly dominant narrative-writers globally. Even if, for example, you're reading a Malaysian New Straits Times piece on Venezuela, chances are high that you're actually reading a slightly modified script written in London or New York.

Karma: Poachers who broke into rhino reserve attacked and killed by pride of lions

Dinner in sight: Lions at the Sibuya Game Reserve which would have been among those that devoured three rhino poachers this week
At least three poachers who broke into a rhinoceros reserve in South Africa received a brutal dose of karma when they were torn to pieces by a pride of lions.

Staff at the Sibuya Game Reserve in Kenton-on-Sea, South Africa discovered the men's bloody remains on Tuesday, including dismembered limbs and a decapitated head. Several pairs of empty shoes were discovered, indicating that the lions ate the men, although staff say that more remains may be hidden in the thick bush.

"The lions are our watchers and guardians and they picked the wrong pride and became a meal," reserve owner Nick Fox told the Daily Express. "Whilst we are saddened at any loss of life, the poachers came here to kill our animals and this sends out a very clear message to any other poachers that you will not always be the winner."

Fox said that axes, wire cutters, and silenced rifles were found near the poachers' remains. He added that "they were clearly intent on killing rhinos and cutting off their horns."

A Michigan State University sociology professor claims that the "abstract liberalism" of many Latino and Latina college students serves to reinforce "colorblind racism."

Maria Isabel Ayala interviewed 50 Latino(a) students at Midwestern University, and was dismayed to find that they attribute their success to hard work and self-reliance while shunning affirmative action.

Sociology professor Maria Isabel Ayala made the argument in a recent study published by the Journal of Latinos and Education, having received $25,000 from the school to conduct the research.

"Abstract liberalism counters affirmative action and supports race-blind college admissions."

Comment: Ayala "study" was nothing more than an attempt to perpetuate the radical Left's culture of victimhood. The students she interviewed showed they possess the common sense needed to make a success of their lives.

With sultry tuxedos and a gown that appeared to waft down the catwalk like cigarette smoke, French designer Jean Paul Gaultier celebrated smoking in all its forms on Wednesday in a fashion show filled with tongue-in-cheek digs at overly rigid attitudes.

Reinterpretations of "Le Smoking" - or tuxedos for women popularised by late French couturier Yves Saint Laurent in the 1960s - dominated the Haute Couture collection, with black and white combinations of jackets and ruffled dresses for instance.

The designer took smoke as his inspiration for a see-through dress decked out in swirling embellishments, or a wedding gown with a featherlight, waspy train that looked like it could vanish into thin air as it twirled on the runway.

Deadbeat who assaulted teens and stole MAGA hat in San Antonio has long criminal record

Kino Jimenez assault MAGA hat San Antonio
Jimenez has a lengthy criminal history fraught with run-ins with the law, including several DWI charges, a drug possession charge, and a burglary charge according to public records.
The perpetrator who assaulted a group of 16-year-olds in San Antonio, TX restaurant is a 30-year old Dungeons & Dragons cosplaying deadbeat who lives with his parents and has an extensive criminal record.

Kino Jimenez ruined the evening of Hunter Richards and his friends, who were enjoying a late night meal at Whataburger when he stole Richards' MAGA hat, cursed him out, and left the restaurant in huff.

WATCH:


Comment: One has to praise the teenager's cool-headed response to the event. Unfortunately, with the outright incitement of civil unrest coming from high-profile politicians and celebrities we can expect more of such incidences with potentially devastating consequences. But of course, those calling for revolution plan to be safely ensconced in their gated communities while the civil war rages on and their useful idiots as well as innocent civilians endure the consequences.

Since Donald Trump has taken his seat in the White House, change has happened and more for the better than the worse. A man who wasn't supposed to win, did and has changed the course of the world without even knowing it. As more and more corruption and conspirators are exposed daily, there is a change in the air and truth is screaming to be first. Men/women who do believe in honor are stepping up to expose those who are making them look bad in the eyes of the people. As a police officer, "HONOR & TRUTH" are what the people want to see when they look at the man/woman who has swore an oath to serve and protect them. A police officer who does wrong, exposed the whole department to criticism from the public. A department that rids the bad apples will find success and support from their community. Waiting for more corruption to be expelled from more police departments around the U.S. as the "Drain the Swamp" campaign continues to expand.

Going far beyond simply cheating on their time cards, three Massachusetts State Troopers have been arrested and charged with embezzlement. According to the allegations brought against the troopers, they stole tens of thousands of dollars when they billed the state for overtime they either did not work or time they stole when they clocked out early. The officers are Paul Cesan, Gary Herman, and David Wilson. In 2016, Cesan is believed to have embezzled $29,000, Herman $12,468, and Wilson $12,450, which amounts to a year's salary for some hourly workers. Following the discovery, Cesan and Wilson resigned, and Herman was suspended.

Comment: When law enforcers are equal to or more criminal than the people they arrest - there is something terribly wrong with the system. A state chemist fabricating evidence for 24,000 cases? Geez!
