A couple is facing felony charges after they were spotted riding a stolen lawn mower in the nude at 8:30 AM on a Missouri road, records show.

According to a police report, Tanya Hopper, 40, and Larry Webster, 55, were busted last Tuesday following the bizarre incident near the city of Joplin.

Responding to a 911 call about a naked man driving an orange lawn mower with a nude woman in his lap, Jasper County Sheriff's Office deputies encountered Hopper and Webster in front of a friend's residence. The riding lawn mower was parked outside the home.

During questioning, Hopper and Webster admitted to the naked mower ride. The suspects claimed that they had been skinny dipping at nearby Turkey Creek when their clothes were stolen by a man who emerged from the adjacent woods.

Instead of walking home nude, the duo said they opted to drive away on a mower they claimed to have found in the woods.

Would C4 have used a Hindu to report on the carnage at the Golden Temple of Amritsar...of course not

Anxious to know more about the Nice lorry massacre, I did something on Friday night I try to avoid: I watched Channel Four News.

After Jon Snow had conducted a poor interview with a young man who had come perilously close to death the action switched back to the London studio, where I could hardly believe my eyes.

The presenter was not one of the regulars — Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Matt Frei or Cathy Newman — but a young lady wearing a hijab.

Comment: He fails to mention who he thinks could provide balance in these difficult times, surely he can't mean Murdoch?

This article reportedly received 1,400 complaints, as of today The Sun has decided not to comment. Fatima replied to his comments here, and excerpts are quoted below.
"It's dangerous to regard Mr MacKenzie and those who echo his Islamophobic sentiments as mere pantomime villains. Their soapbox allows them to spread their ill-informed, irresponsible and malevolent invective to millions of readers. Racist and Islamophobic rhetoric has real consequences - lives have been lost and shattered in our own country."
"[He] has attempted to smear 1.6 billion Muslims in suggesting they are inherently violent. He has attempted to smear half of them further by suggesting they are helpless slaves. And he has attempted to smear me by suggesting I would sympathise with a terrorist."

Meat terrorism: Italian mayor wants to launch the country's first vegetarian city

From vitello tonnato - veal with tuna sauce - to beef braised in the Piedmont region's most famous red wine, brasato al Barolo, meat dishes have been central to the food tradition of northern Italy for centuries.

But Chiara Appendino, the new mayor of Turin and a force in the populist Five Star Movement (M5S), could be about to change all that with her pledge this week to promote vegetarian and vegan diets as a "priority" in her administration.

According to M5S's 62-page manifesto - which also called for better urban planning and the protection of public land - Turin's new mayor said the endorsement of meat-free and even dairy-free living was fundamental to the protection of the environment, health, and the wellbeing of animals.

Comment: It is meat terrorism. The WHO labeled meats as carcinogenic but this has been thoroughly debunked. If the mayor wants to see her consitituents have a poorer quality of life then pushing them into vegetarianism is certainly the way to go. With any luck, and a whole lot of common sense, this scheme will fail miserably. The mayor will likely carry on with her crazy agenda until she's sacked because you can't argue with these rabid vegetarians. Their brains don't work properly.

The continent is now bottom of the list for many Chinese who previously saw the continent as a dream destination with its fascinating mix of culture, cuisine, shopping and history. The most recent attacks in Germany and France are only adding to the fear anyone in Europe could be the next victim.

Monday's axe attack on a train in Wuerzburg, Germany, has meant the continent is now officially a no-go area for many Chinese after four Hong Kong people were among those seriously injured by 17 year old Afghan refugee.

An unnamed married couple, their 26 year old daughter, Tracy Yau Hiu-tung and her 31 year old boyfriend, Edmund Au Yeung were all injured by the teenager who was shot dead by German police as he fled the scene on Monday. The 63 year old father and Mr Au Yeung are fighting for their lives at the University Hospital of Wuerzburg, with one of the men sustaining a severe head injury and the other serious injuries to his abdomen, Dr Georg Ertl, hospital director, said.

The two women were also injured while the older couple's 17 year old son managed to escape the attack on the train they had boarded as part of a visit to Germany following a trip to England for a wedding.

Since the incident, many Chinese people have taken to the internet to discuss whether it is safe to travel to Europe.

Comment: The ramp up of fear and uncertainty around the world is having its calculated effect. It is one of the screws being tightened in order to program, and thereby control, the mindset and behavior of the people. The decline in tourism to Europe will be a swift and significant blow to the financial stability of the continent and blamed on the refugees.

Tourism helps Iceland rise from the ashes of 2008 financial meltdown

The country worst affected by the global financial crisis eight years ago has made a miraculous turnaround. Iceland saw an unexpected GDP surge of 4.2 percent in the first three months of the year.

The growth is explained by a significant rise in tourism.

Tourism has been steadily growing since the beginning of the decade, and is currently a larger source of revenue than exports of fish and aluminum. The number of visitors in 2016 may beat last year's record of 1.3 million, according to June data.

Foreign travelers have flocked to the country partly thanks to the popularity of the fantasy TV drama Game of Thrones. Some episodes of the show were filmed in Iceland. Local travel agencies are currently offering tours to the locations featuring the series' legendary landmarks.

Spending data confirms the Icelandic economy is on an upswing. Tourists have spent 26 billion krone ($212 million) in the country this year using credit and debit cards.

Comment: Of course it also helps that Iceland's people have taken their fate into their own hands in other ways:

With Europe in the midst of a refugee crisis, two Dutch journalists have set out to change people's perceptions. They are doing so with a smartphone app that lets users talk to actors portraying refugees, and ask them tough questions.

The app is meant to do several things, the main being to alter perceptions of refugees, another to explain that it's not easy becoming a refugee in the Netherlands - particularly important, seeing as misperceptions about the ease of the process fan the flames of far-right movements in the Netherlands and EU as a whole.

'The Detailed Interview', as the app is called, lets users select tough questions from make-believe refugees from Syria and Guinea, who in turn explain why and how they fled their homelands, and what motivates them in their lives.

A Transportation Security Administration agent in Seattle was arrested after allegedly being spotted using a phone to take video up a woman's skirt at the city's airport, according to authorities.

Nicholas Fernandez, 29, was arrested on a charge of voyeurism Tuesday, Seattle police said in an arrest report. The incident occurred on an escalator, and not in a security line.

"TSA does not tolerate illegal, unethical or immoral conduct," a spokesperson for the TSA said in a statement.

"When such conduct is alleged, TSA investigates it thoroughly. When appropriate, TSA requests that it be investigated by a law enforcement authority. When an investigation finds that misconduct has occurred, the appropriate action is taken."

Comment: The TSA is heavily populated with thieves and perverts:

A plane has crashed into a house in Plainfield, Illinois. Nearby residents tweeted that they heard an explosion before the impact into the house. Firefighters from neighboring Joliet are on the scene in the Brighton Lakes subdivision.

The crash occurred around 11:15 in the morning local time, Joliet police told WMAQ. A charred piece of the plane is lying partly in the street and partly in a driveway, photos by Twitter user @chargers250 show.

"I heard something coming down like a torpedo then a loud crash and a lot of wind," a witness told photojournalist Si Gifter.


There were no immediate reports of any injuries on the ground, and it is unknown how many people were on the small plane, the Federal Aviation Administration told WMAQ.

Roger Bacon, whose son Matthew was killed serving in Iraq, told RT that any money raised in a civil case by military families against Tony Blair will be donated to the Iraqi people to improve their lives.

Matthew Bacon, a British Army major, was killed by a roadside bomb while traveling in a lightly-armored Snatch vehicle in Iraq in 2005.

His bereaved father described to RT his awe at the staggering success of the Iraq War Families Campaign's crowdfunding drive to fund a full legal examination of the Chilcot Report for evidence challenging the legality of the war.

The online fundraiser hit its first target of £50,000 (US$66,000) within a day of launching on Tuesday, and it is now rapidly approaching its secondary target of £150,000.

Roger said the funds are needed to hire a "firm of lawyers to look at the Iraq report, to see just what kind of illegalities or misuse of constitutional powers have taken place."

Max absurdity: German tabloid to snub Russian Olympic team's medal count

German tabloid Bild said it will not report Russian athletes' medal count during the Rio 2016 Olympics if they are allowed to compete by the IOC. The move comes after a WADA report recommended a total ban on the Russian team in light of new doping allegations.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and its president, Thomas Bach, have distanced themselves from "making a clear decision" on the "doping-infected" Russian Olympic team, Walter Straten, Bild's chief sports editor, claimed in an article on Wednesday.

"We won't do that!" wrote Straten, who is also a member of Bild's editorial board.

"Should Russia be allowed to participate in the Games, Bild will have it exempted from the medal count. Declare Russian athletes' results null and void!"

Comment: This scandal is getting beyond absurd:
