Twitter-verse mercilessly trolls Fox News over alert about Trump working in White House


RT
Mon, 27 Mar 2017 17:36 UTC
Fox News sent out a "news alert" that President Donald Trump was spending the weekend at the White House. Quite a few Twitter users took offense to the tweet for two reasons: firstly, it's his job, and secondly, it wasn't entirely accurate.


The quick-witted Twitterati called Fox out for the "news alert" about the president simply staying at his place of work for the weekend - and for failing to recognize that Trump was not actually working from the White House for a significant portion of it.

Dozens of supporters of far-right PEGIDA movement waving German flags poured into the streets of the German city of Nuremberg on Sunday to protest immigration policy and the Turkish president's recent Nazi taunts, as they celebrated the local branch's anniversary.


The event saw participants, carrying national and party symbols, gathering around 1pm in central Jakobplatz before marching down the streets for a rally. Despite the declared peaceful nature of the gathering, police undertook extra efforts to ensure security and prevent potential clashes with rival groups, cordoning off the streets along the PEGIDA activists' route.

While it was reported that a counter-demonstration was called for by a local Nazistopp union, no incident has been reported at the PEGIDA rally, which centered around the movement's traditional anti-Islam and anti-immigrant agenda.

"Violence-free and united against religious wars on German soil," read one of the placards at the head of the procession.

Another called on the Germans to "wake up" unless they want to see the rule of the Sharia law as the country's near future.

Police believe former Hartman Middle School IT specialist Mauricio Mendoza impregnated a 13-year-old student after sexually abusing the girl at school on multiple occasions.

Mendoza, who has worked at several Houston Independent School District schools, was arrested Monday and charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child, just over three months after he was fired from the district over the allegations, KTRK reports.

The victim's mother discovered messages from Mendoza and her daughter's cell phone in December and contacted school officials, who reported the situation to HISD police and Children's Protective Services.

The girl told authorities she had sex with Mendoza in the school library and his office, and a pregnancy test confirmed that she's carrying a child, police allege.

Court records show the sexual contact took place in December. "Police conducted a lengthy and thorough investigation, which they concluded this month," according to a HISD statement. "Police presented findings from their investigation to the Harris County District Attorney's Office, which accepted criminal charges."

Comment: Pedophiles and child molesters often take jobs where they have easy access to children.

How political lunacy sabotaged South Australia's once reliable and affordable power supply

If what Australia's political brains trust has done to its once reliable and affordable power supply had been done by external agents, it would have been branded an act of terrorism.

The so-called 'wind power capital' of Australia, South Australia has become an international laughing stock: statewide blackouts, routine load shedding and rocketing power prices might be enough, you would think, to make its Labor government see sense.

Far from it, it is now looking to spend $150 million on a giant battery that will return power to the grid and 'power' SA for all of four minutes and to set up somewhere between 200 and 250 MW of diesel generation capacity to keep the lights on, whenever the wind stops blowing.

The absurdity of throwing $550 million at a perfectly avoidable problem, when Jay Weatherill had the option of paying a mere $30 million to Alinta to keep its coal-fired plant at Port Augusta reliably chugging away for years to come, is mind blowing.

The Australian's Chris Kenny spends his time in the following piece (article below) looking for logic and reason. In relation to Australia's self-inflicted energy disaster, logic and reason left the building a long, long time ago.

Social agitator Amos Yee and a taste of things to come in Singapore

Amos Yee
Singaporean Amos Yee fits the description of virtually every foreign-backed agitator used to target and undermine political orders worldwide as part of Washington's "soft power" toolkit.

He is a young individual who, at 18 years old, was not particularly bright in school and possesses no practical talent or skill with which to contribute to society. Incapable of achieving positive attention based on his merit, he has embarked on a life of seeking negative attention based on his ability to agitate, insult and defame. Much of his behaviour bears the hallmarks of clinical narcissism and other forms of mental illness.

It is very likely that no one at all would have even heard of Amos Yee were it not for the constant attention provided to him by US and European media outlets as well as assistance provided to him by politically motivated "rights advocates" like Amnesty International. More recently, a US court has ruled that Amos Yee qualifies for political asylum in America.

An article published by Quartz titled, "A US judge has granted a Singapore teen blogger political asylum, calling him a "young political dissident"," would report:
A United States judge has granted asylum to Amos Yee, an 18-year-old blogger from Singapore, who has been jailed on two occasions for his public views on religion and politics. Yee came to the US in December under the visa waiver program and requested asylum before an immigration judge, expressing a fear of returning to Singapore.

Judge Samuel Cole approved his asylum, describing him as a "young political dissident" and saying that his "prosecution, detention and general maltreatment at the hands of Singapore authorities constitute persecution."

Poverty & exploitation: Hardships in the life of UK's Syrian refugees

Syrian refugees in the UK face a stark choice between extreme poverty and exploitation in the black market economy, as they fear being detained or deported if they report to the Home Office.

The Observer found that many Syrians seeking refuge in the UK are living on less than £10 (US$12.60) a day as they subject themselves to exploitative labor, while many have stopped signing in at the Home Office after being detained in centers for months at a time.

The paper interviewed 10 Syrian refugees and found that eight of them have stopped reporting to the Home Office, fearing removal or deportation.

Since the beginning of 2015, up to 50 Syrians have been deported under the Dublin regulation, by which refugees must be returned to the first EU member state they set foot in.

A Philadelphia policeman has been accused of putting his adopted dog in a trash bag and dumping it at a park.

The Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says Officer Michael Long was arrested Thursday on animal cruelty and related misdemeanour charges.

A passer-by came upon the trash bag Nov. 23 and noticed a dog's head visible inside. Animal welfare officers took the emaciated pit bull mix to a shelter for medical care.

The PSPCA says the dog was microchipped and a search of Long's home turned up a sheet that matched one inside the trash bag.

The 3-year-old dog is named Cranberry. The dog has recovered and been adopted.

Police say Long has been suspended with the intent to dismiss.

Long can't be reached for comment because there's no listed telephone number for him.

2.2mn Yemeni children 'teeter between life & death' thanks to Western-backed Saudi intervention

Children in Yemen are teetering between life and death, as 2.2 million suffer from acute malnutrition, while those killed by hostilities jumped 70 percent last year, UNICEF warned on the second anniversary of the war in the Middle East's poorest country.

Two years into the Yemeni conflict, children continue to suffer the consequences and will soon succumb to starvation without prompt humanitarian assistance and viable efforts to bring peace to the war-ravaged country, UNICEF said in areportentitled 'Falling through the Cracks.'

Nearly half a million children suffer from severe acute malnutrition, which is manifest in grotesquely slim bodies and stunted growth - a 200-percent increase since 2014, the report warned. The fighting and devastation has forced Yemenis into buying cheaper food or skipping meals, while around 80 percent of families are in debt or borrowing money just to feed their children.

Comment: Thanks to Western-backed interventions untold millions are struggling in absolutely nightmarish conditions. For one more recent example, check out:

Turning children into monsters: Mosul's lost generation of ISIS fighters
"It's a cruelty that has no end. For us it is a violent pain - we know we have to fight against children who have been indoctrinated in the name of a sick religion."

This is the reality of war in northern Iraq, where IS is throwing everything - and everyone - at Iraqi forces as they slowly take back Mosul and the surrounding areas in a bitter war that has destroyed the very social fabric of the city.

Children have been spared nothing: poverty, malnutrition and cruelty under IS control; then forced onto the frontlines to be used as spotters, fighters, human shields and suicide bombers as the battles began to rage.

Broad coalition attends conference on Israel lobby ahead of AIPAC meeting in Washington

annual teach-in against the Israel lobby
The leading pro Israel group AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) is meeting this weekend in Washington and ahead of that conference yesterday I went to the annual teach-in against the Israel lobby at the National Press Club. There was an audience of 600 and a lot of excitement. The political atomization of the Trump era had not penetrated this hall. The speakers represented many different points of view, from US nationalist to leftwing/Palestinian to realist to Arab-American. Only at the end did I count the number of Jewish speakers. One out of 12 (Ilan Pappe). But it was an afterthought. There is no soreness around that question, Are Jews here or not? Of course they're here.

If there was a theme to the day (full video) it was that the Israel lobby is losing ground to Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) in the 100-years-war of Zionism in the United States, and the American people are waking up; but it won't matter much for the Palestinians. They're screwed for as long as anyone can see; and this is the Israel lobby's achievement. It blocked a Palestinian state. No one at the conference said the two-state solution is alive. "There is zero time for the two state solution," Hanan Ashrawi said. She and almost everyone else described the occupation as "apartheid."

Comment: Awareness of Israel's crimes against Palestinians is gaining greater traction with every day. We are rapidly approaching a tipping point where the World will turn against the policies of the Zionist State and Israel will feel compelled to act "in its own defense". And when it does, the ugly maw of its pathological underpinnings will only be further revealed to confirm what many have already been saying.

Next month, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's party will announce plans to permit the use and possession of a certain amount of the psychoactive drug, according to CBC News.
