In the sick world that is the hard-left media sphere one can read attacks on straight people, white people, and men in general on a daily basis with each open attack getting worse than the last.

The latest in this sort of liberal fantasy to eliminate those they politically disagree with comes in the form of a now deleted Tweet by an editor for the Huffington Post in which she declared that she wanted women to band together to kill all men.

Emily McCombs serves as the "Editorial Director of Parents" for HuffPo and apparently felt it was alright to publicly talk about murdering billions of people before eventually realizing her mistake and taking down the original post without any sort of additional comment or apology.

It's as if McCombs hoped it would disappear.

Syrian forces excavate a site, said to be a mass grave by state news agency SANA, west of Raqa province, on December 29, 2017.
Two mass graves uncovered near the former terrorist stronghold of Raqqa became the final resting place for dozens of Syrians executed by ISIS. The effort to recover their remains is underway, with at least 115 bodies found so far.

After the liberation of the former capital of the self-styled Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS, ISIL) terrorist caliphate, two mass graves were discovered by returning civilians who then alerted the Syrian military of the gruesome find, Syria's state SANA agency reported citing a field commander.

The Syrian army moved to verify the reports and confirmed the horrific claim. Corpses of dozens of soldiers and civilians were piled up under the sand. A civil defense team have been digging out the improvised graves to recover the remains.

Three-quarters of Yemenis, including over 11 million children, are in a desperate need of humanitarian aid while over a half are suffering dire food and water shortages, UN agencies are reporting, fearing the worst is yet to come.

The bloody conflict marked 1,000 days earlier this month since the Saudi-led military intervention in March, 2015. The gloomy anniversary spells further sufferings for civilian population and offers little hope for the future, as the war-ravaged country "has passed the tipping into a rapid decline from crisis to deepening catastrophe," the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), World Health Organization (WHO) and World Food Program (WFP) said in a joint statement Friday.

Since the battle between Yemeni rebels and the forces of ousted President Abd Rabbu Mansour, backed by Saudi Arabia first erupted, "the worst humanitarian crisis in the world" has spread across the entire country, the statement says. The UN estimated that by the end of 2017, some 75 percent of the Yemeni population would require humanitarian assistance, including some 11.3 children who rely exclusively on aid to survive.

The suspect in Wednesday's bombing in St. Petersburg has a record of mental illness, investigators say. He was motivated by a bad experience he had with a "personal growth" training course.

The suspect in the crime, which left 18 people injured this week, confessed to planning and carrying out the bomb attack, Russian Investigative Committee spokesperson Svetlana Petrenko told journalists on Sunday. He was arrested on Saturday and ordered to be kept in custody by a court on Sunday.

The confession was backed by evidence found by investigators, the spokesperson said. "He hid two USB drives close to the site of the bombing, which contained information about the motive for the act and photos of the explosive device," she said. During the interrogation, the man told police he resorted to violence "due to hatred towards organizers and adepts of a [personal growth] training course he had participated in."

The suspect, identified as Dmitry Lukyanenko, 35, by various media sources, reportedly has previous convictions for drug crimes and battery. The official said the suspect has also had a record of mental illness since the age of 19. An examination will be conducted to establish whether he can be held accountable for the bombing attack.

Self proclaimed feminist and graffiti artist Carolina Falkholt shocked the public when she painted a 40ft penis on the side of a residential NYC building on Christmas eve.

The "work of art" was commissioned by a street art collective called The New Allen which was created by Baby Brasa, a Peruvian restaurant. Fortunately, this was later removed by contractors hired by the landlord.

While some members of the public weren't particularly bothered by the mural and agreed that it was a form of " artistic expression", others blasted Falkholt for her lack of creativity and inconsideration for minors who would inevitably lay eyes on the giant phallus.

Vandals have destroyed dozens of beehives in Iowa, killing at least 500,000 bees, the honey business owners said. All of their hives were knocked over and the bees died as they were unable to survive in the freezing temperatures.

The owners of Wild Hill Honey in Sioux Falls, Iowa found their honey business in a gruesome state on Thursday. "We went to clean snow from our hives on the west side near Woodbury Heights and found complete destruction of all our hives and supply shed," the owners wrote in a Facebook post. All 50 hives were destroyed, killing hundreds of thousands of bees, they said.

Justin Engelhardt, one of the owners, told AP that the vandals knocked over the hives, killing around 500,000 bees. The damage was estimated at up to $60,000, he said, adding that the incident "probably sunk us."

Sex abuse scandals, box office bombs: Disastrous year for Tinseltown comes to a merciful end

Hollywood may be eager to say goodbye to 2017 which was one of the worst and craziest years in its history, and there's a number of reasons for that.

Statistics show Americans are falling out of love with going to the movies. Audiences have steadily shrunk as home entertainment options improved and movie theater attendance fell to a 22-year low.

"It's not a sea change, it's a tsunami," Jeff Bock, an analyst with Exhibitor Relations, was cited as saying by Variety magazine. "The tide has moved against movies. They used to be the hub of what entertainment is, but that core has shifted to streaming and television. Back in the day, people talked about 'Back to the Future' or 'E.T.' when they talked about entertainment. Today, it's 'Stranger Things' or 'Game of Thrones.'"

A woman rides her bicycle in Malmo.
Yet another woman has been assaulted in the Swedish city of Malmo in another case of suspected gang rape, the fourth in just two months.

The attacks come as activists started nightly street patrols to reassure the community. Police said they do not yet see any apparent link between the appalling attacks, amid the ongoing investigations.

The victim, who is said to be over 18, was attacked by several unidentified assailants in Malmo's Hogaholm district overnight to Friday. She eventually managed to get home by herself and alerted police. An investigation into a suspected gang rape is underway as police believe several people were involved.

The woman suffered only minor physical injuries but was deeply traumatized by the experience, police said. No one has been detained so far, as police continue examining forensic evidence and questioning the woman.

Germany paid €230 million this year to create 20,000 jobs for Syrian refugees stranded in countries like Jordan or Turkey. The measure is said to give people the means for life, but also to prevent them from entering Europe.

Funded by the German government and some NGOs, thousands of Syrians are now engaged in low-paying jobs like waste disposal or street cleaning in host countries such as Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey, Die Welt reported on Sunday.

This year, Germany sponsored the creation of almost 20,000 new jobs for Syrian refugees in the Middle East, Development Minister Gerd Mueller told the newspaper. According to the official, targeted funding of refugees in host countries - called the Middle East Employment Initiative - might prevent individuals or whole families from sneaking into Europe.

In December, the International Organization for Migration (ION) recorded 170,249 migrants and refugees arriving in Europe by sea in 2017. Just over 70 percent of them landed in Italy, with the rest spread out between Greece, Cyprus, and Spain. The agency said the figure is much smaller compared to the 359,160 arrivals recorded last year.
