Former Congressman Anthony Weiner has deleted his Twitter account after his wife, Huma Abedin, announced their separation as details of yet another of her husband's sordid sexting exchanges surfaced, including a photo detailing both his crotch and his toddler.

Abedin, Hillary Clinton's closest aide, announced in a statement on Monday that she is separating from Weiner, after photos and details of a sexually-charged conversation with a busty brunette went viral on Sunday evening. Among the leak was a suggestive photo of the former representative's crotch, which also showed the couple's 5-year-old son sleeping next to him.

"Someone just climbed into my bed," Weiner said in the accompanying message.

"Really?" the woman asked.

This latest incident marks the third time that Weiner has been caught well, with his pants down.

Unknown vandals have bricked up a door leading to a mosque in a small town in northeastern Germany, also putting up stickers bearing racist messages on the makeshift wall.

Police in the small town of Parchim in the northeastern German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania have launched an investigation after a door to a local mosque, currently under construction, was found blocked with a one meter high brick wall last week, according to a police report.

Several flyers bearing anti-Islamic messages had been posed on the wall. Among them were "you call yourself believers, we call you invaders," and "the mosques are our barracks, the minarets our bayonets, the believers our soldiers," which is allegedly a quote from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

A criminal probe has been launched on two counts, including vandalism and the incitement of hatred, German broadcaster NDR reported.

Women planning on traveling to India have been warned to not wear short dresses or skirts, or walk alone at night, "for their own safety." The warning came from India's Minister for Tourism, Mahesh Sharma.

As another safety precaution, Sharma urged foreign women to photograph the license plates of any vehicles they travel in.

The ominous instructions were given at a press conference in Agra on Sunday, as India's official safety advice to foreign women. Sharma said female tourists have been issued with a safety guidelines "kit" upon arriving into the country since last year.

The owner of an upscale restaurant in France who refused to serve two veiled Muslim women, stating that "all Muslims are terrorist," has been accused of Islamophobia on social media and interviewed by police on suspicion of "racial discrimination."

A video posted online appears to show two Muslim women being refused service at the high-end Le Cenacle restaurant in Tremblay-en-France near Paris on Saturday.

A man, who is reportedly the restaurant's owner, can be heard telling the women: "The terrorists are Muslim and all Muslims are terrorists... they recently killed a priest. This is a secular country and I have a right to an opinion... I don't want people like you here. Full stop."

Muslim holy day Eid al-Adha on Sept. 11? Coincidence stirs fears

Every year, Muslim leaders around the world look to the moon to predict the date for one of their most important holidays, Eid al-Adha — the feast of sacrifice.

When Habeeb Ahmed began about two months ago to plan for that holy day, he noticed a potentially fraught coincidence: Eid al-Adha could fall on Sept. 11.

"Some people might want to make something out of that," said Mr. Ahmed, who was recently elected president of the Islamic Center of Long Island, adding that he could easily foresee how some might misunderstand the festivities, and say, "Look at these Muslims, they are celebrating 9/11."

SOTT Focus: Police State Roundup: History and current events indicate the police are a danger to themselves and the public

In a pathocracy, all leadership positions (not to mention directors of police units, and special services police personnel) must be filled by individuals with corresponding psychological deviations, which are inherited as a rule. However, such people constitute a very small percentage of the population and this makes them more valuable to the pathocrats. Their intellectual level or professional skills cannot be taken into account, since people representing superior abilities are even harder to find. - Andrew Lobaczewski, Political Ponerology
In a nutshell, that's the reason the police are incompetent and dangerous. What Lobaczewski argues here is that any position of power will ultimately be filled with someone with a personality disorder. The problem is that the number of people lacking a conscience are pretty slim, and the ones who are actually competent are even rarer, so you can't pick ones that are qualified to do the job correctly. This inevitably leaves you with a bunch of morons who have have killed off their conscience, never had one to begin with, or only apply it selectively. With that in mind, one can now understand why the police are behaving like a gang of criminals.

As an interesting aside, it's likely been this way all along. Police today are the offspring of slave hunters and union busters. When they became the norm in the early 20th century, their primary purpose was to maintain order in the streets, allowing commerce to continue unimpeded by any uppity protesters. Even before that, the first police departments were founded on the basis of hunting down escaped slaves and returning them to their owners.
The institution of slavery and the control of minorities, however, were two of the more formidable historic features of American society shaping early policing. Slave patrols and Night Watches, which later became modern police departments, were both designed to control the behaviors of minorities. - Victor E.

More than a dozen civilians have lost their lives in a powerful bomb explosion that ripped through a residential neighborhood in Iraq's central province of Karbala.

The Euphrates Operations Command said in a statement released on Monday that the incident took place in the town of Ayn Tamer, located 120 kilometers (74.5 miles) west of the provincial capital city of Karbala, the previous night, when five terrorists clad in explosives-laden vests attacked a wedding ceremony.

One of the assailants hurled hand grenades at the site, fired gunshots from a Kalashnikov rifle, and blew himself up at last.

Iraqi security forces managed to gun down the four remaining attackers before they could inflict more casualties.

A conservative Florida pastor who said that the victims of the Orlando massacre got "what they deserve" is being charged with child molestation.

Bishop Kenneth Adkins was arrested by Georgia authorities on Friday after allegations that he molested a boy under the age of 16.

The 56-year-old clergyman, who runs churches in Jacksonville, Atlanta and Brunswick, Ga., gained notoriety in the immediate aftermath of Omar Mateen's shooting at Pulse nightclub in June.

He posted on Twitter that he had "been through so much with these Jacksonville homosexuals that I don't see none of them as victims. I see them as getting what they deserve."

Outrage after the comment led him to later tell The Florida Times-Union that his remarks were directed at those in northern Florida rather than the victims. The pastor has long been an opponent of the LGBT community, and was a vocal opponent of a bill extending anti-discrimination protection to gays and lesbians in Jacksonville.

Adkins has previously said that he believes homosexuality is "vulgar" and "pornographic." Disgust has now turned towards the pastor and his alleged molestation of a child, which his lawyer says stemmed from encounters in 2010.

South Carolina activist convicted of child porn charges claims they were self-medication for autism, depression, social isolation

A longtime conservative activist will spend up to two years in prison after he admitted to collecting hundreds of sexually explicit images of children — but defense attorneys blamed his autism and depression.

Christian Hine, of Fort Mill, S.C., spoke out against the Affordable Care Act, toll roads and taxes to build sports arenas, and the former president of a local Tea Party group promoted candidates such as Rand Paul, Greg Brannon and Dan Forest, reported The Herald.

But the 39-year-old Hine was arrested in June 2015 after FBI agents raided his home and seized his electronic devices, where investigators found more than 700 images showing children involved in pornography. Authorities said those photos had been shared thousands of times for more than a decade.

Hine's attorneys argued that he had only about half that number of photos, and they said his autism disorder had left him unable to communicate well or socialize normally with others. They said that caused him to become addicted to pornography, which then led him to search for images of children instead of adults.

"His descent into depression and pornography abuse was as swift as it was tragic," wrote his attorney, Johnny Gasser. "It's difficult to understand how Christian ended up in such a terrible place."

In a Friday press conference following his homophobic remarks about a state lawmaker, Maine Governor Paul LePage (R) called people of color and people of Hispanic origin "the enemy" and implied they should be shot.

"A bad guy is a bad guy. I don't care what color he is. When you go to war, if you know the enemy, the enemy dresses in red and you dress in blue, you shoot at red," he said. "You shoot the enemy. You try to identify the enemy. And the enemy right now, the overwhelming majority of people coming in are people of color or people of Hispanic origin."

The governor has offered a veritable potpourri of racist and homophobic remarks over the years. In his voicemail to state Rep. Drew Gattine (D) on Thursday, in an apparent attempt to convince people that he is not a racist, he said, "I want to talk to you. I want you to prove that I'm a racist. I've spent my life helping black people and you little son-of-a-bitch, socialist cocksucker."

Comment: What an intelligent, compassionate, eloquent, and responsible person. A mentor for our children. And a model for all those in public life, to be studied and imitated by all those who strive to be as American as they can be.
