Most frequent flyers have been seated near a crying toddler at some point during their travels, but very few have been forced to endure the same "nightmare" as Shane Townley.

Townley, an artist from New York City, was one of the unlucky passengers who shared an 8-hour Lufthansa flight from Germany to New Jersey with a "demonic" tantrum-throwing child who screamed throughout the whole trip, according to viral footage Townley shared on YouTube.

"Watch as this kid runs and screams throughout the entire flight while the mother does little to nothing to stop him," wrote Townley. "[Three]-year-old on a 8-hour flight from Germany to Newark NJ. He never quits!"

In Townley's video, which has since amassed nearly 1 million views on YouTube, the young boy can be seen screaming, crying and standing up in his seat before the plane even departs. And just before takeoff, Townley said the child's tantrum took a turn for the "demonic."

Multiple students have since come forward after the tragic shooting in Parkland, Florida on Wednesday with details that raise some serious questions. These students have reported that a mass casualty drill was scheduled that day as well as at least one other student reporting multiple shooters.

It is important to point out that we are not claiming what these students are saying is true, however, we feel that their points of view are certainly newsworthy.

In one chilling account, a high school student not only told reporters that she witnessed multiple shooters, but she also explained how she was talking to the suspect, Nikolas Cruz, as she heard rounds being fired down the hall.

The Russian Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit - filed by another candidate in the race - seeking the cancellation of President Vladimir Putin's registration as a candidate for the 2018 election.

The lawsuit requesting Putin be removed from the presidential race was filed in mid-February by presidential candidate, journalist and socialite Ksenia Sobchak, who is running as a candidate for the pro-business party Civil Platform. She describes herself as a "none of the above" candidate for those who wish to register their disapproval against the political situation in Russia.

In a letter to the court, Sobchak explained that Putin's candidacy should be annulled because he has already repeatedly occupied the post, saying that he was elected president three times and also was acting president in early 2000, before he was first elected.

The Russian ombudsman for children has supported a recently drafted bill imposing life sentences for pedophilia, but added that the creation of a nationwide register of offenders was also necessary.

"We consider it important to continue work on a register of persons who have committed sex crimes against minors and other illegal acts, which would allow them to be monitored for the rest of their lives," Anna Kuznetsova wrote on her Facebook page.

"We also support such measures as restricting internet access and tougher sanctions for violations of various bans during the administrative period for which they are imposed."

Southern New Hampshire University fired an adjunct professor who insisted Australia isn't a country and gave an "F" on an assignment to a perplexed student who said that it is, the New Hampshire Union Leader reported.

Lauren Keane, the school's assistant vice president of communications, told the paper that a BuzzFeed story about the interaction between the professor and online student Ashley Arnold of Idaho was true.

Arnold - a 27-year-old stay-at-home mom - compared social media use in the United States to Australia for a class assignment, but the professor penalized Arnold in several sections, which resulted in a failing grade.

And the prof's main issue? Arnold wrote that Australia is a country.

Should Iceland outlaw circumcision for boys - a common practice among Jews and Muslims - it will prevent Jewish communities from being established in the country, Jewish leaders warn.

A bill that would ban the nonmedical circumcision of boys younger than 18 has triggered a strong reaction from the heads of Scandinavian Jewish communities. It was submitted by members of four parties and would also punish offenders with up to six years in prison.

In a joint letter, representatives of Jewish communities and councils in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland warn Iceland against becoming "the only country to ban one of the most central, if not the most central rite in the Jewish tradition, in modern times," urging it to follow Norway, where right to circumcision is protected by law.

Comment: One solution might be to let the male choose to be circumcised once he becomes an adult.

More MSM Fake News: No, there have not been 18 school shootings so far in 2018

stoneman douglas high school
What we saw at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., is no less shocking and horrific than every school shooting we've seen since Columbine in 1999. Seventeen people were killed at the hands of 19-year-old shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz, who was expelled from the school and banned from returning to campus.

It's the type of shooting that makes you sick to your stomach.

You want to get all the facts and gather all the information that you can to ensure that a tragedy such as this never happens again. However, the media has been trying to convince you that these types of shootings where there are mass casualties are happening every day.

It all began on Wednesday when reporting on the developments at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, MSNBC host Brian Williams said that this was the 12th school shooting of 2018.

Ever since then, the talking point was corrected in that there were actually 18 school shootings in 45 days. And many in both the media and politics have used it as a rallying cry to make some legislative push to impose new restrictions on guns.

Bill Murray rips Democratic virtue signaling and identity politics

bill murray
Bill Murray is rarely one to keep quiet about his opinions.

And in a recent sit down with CNBC's Squawk Box, the actor warned that political discourse had degenerated into a 'Clash of Clans everyday, first thing in the morning.'

'People are going to war about so much,' he warned.

He added that Democrats could often create division by striving to represent certain groups or minorities, rather than simply saying they represented Americans.

'My friend who's a great comedy writer, Jim Downey, he's accused of being a right-wing comedy writer, if there is such a thing,' Murray said. 'He says, 'No, I just think the way the Democrats handle things is poor, where they try to pick out little pieces of a population, oh well we represent the Hispanics, we represent the LGBT or something.'

Tributes have been paid to Aaron Feis, a "hero" assistant football coach fatally shot while shielding students from bullets in the Parkland, Florida school shooting on Wednesday.

Feis, also a security guard at the school, was killed when he sprinted toward the shooter and selflessly stepped in front of students as the gunman opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, killing 17 people and injuring a further 14.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has warned the White House against imposing a ban on oil imports from the Latin American country. Oil exports to the US are crucial for Venezuela's depleted budget.

"The oil embargo would be one of the biggest mistakes in international politics that Donald Trump would commit,"Maduro posted on Twitter.

Venezuelan oil production has been falling in the recent years, but was still around 1.7 million barrels per day in December. The country sells about a third of its oil to the United States, but its sales to America are at the lowest level since 1991. Oil exports account for 95 percent of the country's exports.
