Liberty GB, a right-wing British party whose chairman once got arrested for publicly quoting Winston Churchill’s harsh criticism of Muslims, published an article Tuesday saying the Clinton Foundation payola makes Hillary Clinton, “Islam’s Whore.”

Curiously, almost nobody has previously used the description. But don’t be surprised if you hear it from Donald Trump sometime soon.

In an article for the Liberty GB website, talk radio host Audrey Russo laid out her case. The story was flagged by BizPacReview.com.

Clinton, she writes, “purports to be a proponent of women’s rights and the rights of the LGBT community” but has “no problem taking millions of dollars into the Clinton Foundation, from Islamic countries:

The fight began with a mother and her boyfriend arguing over groceries.

At some point, prosecutors in Camden County, N.J., say, the woman’s 2-year-old boy became upset that 24-year-old Zachary Tricoche had pushed his mother and began to cry, according to the Courier-Post.

That’s when Tricoche attacked, prosecutors say, punching the 29-pound boy so hard that the toddler was launched into a wall, Camden County Assistant Prosecutor Christine Shah said at a court hearing last week, according to NJ.com.

Then, Shah said, Tricoche instructed the 36-inch-tall toddler to “put his hands up,” meaning “that he should form a boxing stance to fight this full-grown man,” NJ.com reported.

At that point, Tricoche hit the boy again, “causing J.B. to again strike his head on a wall and rendering him unconscious,” Shah said, according to the Courier-Post.

Both punches struck the boy — identified as Jamil Baskerville Jr. — in his torso, according to CBS affiliate WFMY.

A medical examiner would later determine that the child’s liver has been crushed by the blows, leading him to bleed to death internally, WFMY reported. The station reported that “the official cause of death is blunt force trauma and the manner of death is homicide.”

The “ghost wedding” is an ancient ritual involving the family members of a deceased person who posthumously marry them to another dead person in order to placate their restless souls, giving them less reason to haunt the living. It is a ritual that is still practiced by some Chinese today.

Unfortunately, the ritual has taken a more sinister turn as there simply aren’t enough dead brides, and some people are willing to resort to murder to meet the increasing demand.

Three men in China’s northwestern province of Gansu have been charged with murdering two mentally disabled women and selling their bodies as ghost brides in neighboring Shaanxi province.

On April 13, police in Wuxi, Shanxi discovered the corpse of a woman in a car driven by three men named Ma, Teng, and An.

Ma and An confessed that they had abducted the victim by posing as matchmakers before murdering her with a sedative injection. She was sold as a ghost bride for 35,000 yuan ($5,259). They also admitted to killing another woman the same way in February.

Ghost weddings have been banned in China since 1949, but rising fortunes throughout the country have contributed to their comeback. Last year, 15 female corpses were looted from tombs in Shanxi and sold as ghost brides.

Although a ghost wedding can be as simple and symbolic as relocating the remains of a dead woman to lie next to those of her newly-wedded dead husband, things get much more difficult when there are no deceased women to be found.

A man in Liangcheng County, in Inner Mongolia, admitted to police last year that he murdered a woman so that he could sell her body as a ghost bride. In 2013, four men were sentenced to two years in prison for digging up 10 female corpses that they sold for a total of $39,000.

>These days it's a common sight: hazy streaks crisscrossing the sky left from passing aircrafts. But many people believe there’s something more going on. Dubbing the contrails “chemtrails,” conspiracy theorists have claimed that these trails of condensed water are part of a secret program to control the weather, change the climate or control our minds.

>Conspiracy theorists have amassed huge dossiers of “evidence” claiming that chemtrails are longer, brighter and do not dissipate as quickly as normal aircraft contrails. They have photos, anecdotes and samples collected from the air and water. Though scientists have long battled against these unfounded claims, they haven't made much headway. But with a recent study, researchers from the Carnegie Institution for Science hope to put these rumors to rest.

>The researchers provided the available chemtrail evidence to 77 atmospheric scientists and geochemists for evaluation. “I felt it was important to definitively show what real experts in contrails and aerosols think,” Ken Caldeira, an atmospheric scientists and author on the study, says in a press release. “We might not convince die-hard believers that their beloved secret spraying program is just a paranoid fantasy, but hopefully their friends will accept the facts.”

>In the study, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, the scientists were asked if they had ever uncovered possible evidence of a government chemtrail program in their research. Of the 77 scientists, 76 said no.

After countless politicians towing the feminist line, including Obama coming out saying everybody should be a feminist and Hillary running her entire campaign around feminism, a British MP is standing up against all that nonsense. He spoke at an International Conference on Men's Issues, where he bashed feminist hypocrisy and talked about the significant sexism against men in our justice system.
Bravo, Davies. Don't mind the feminist hate machine.

Naturally, feminists were pissed and claimed that supporting gender equality shows "utter contempt for women." Feminist MPs called for the Prime Minister to suspend Davies. Because apparently that's how Parliament works, the PM can just suspend people for saying things they don't like. So far there hasn't been a suspension, will update if this gets juicier

Italians are supposed to be cultured?

Masturbating in public should not be considered an illegal act, Italy’s Supreme Court has ruled, in a case involving a 69-year-old man who was caught exhibiting himself in front of female students.

The man, identified only as Pietro L, was caught holding his penis in a public place outside the University of Catania in Sicily.

Charged with indecency, he was put on trial. He told the court that he only engaged in the practice “occasionally”, insisting that it would have been hard to see him because the incident had happened around dusk and there was “reduced visibility”.

Accused of “taking out his member” and engaging in “auto-eroticism”, he was found guilty of indecent behaviour and sentenced to three months in jail and a fine of €3,420. That sentence was upheld by the Court of Appeal in Catania.

But his lawyers took the case to a final appeal in front of the Supreme Court in Rome, which over-turned the conviction, citing a law introduced last year which decriminalised the offence of masturbating in public in front of women. “The act is no longer regarded as a crime by the law,” the Supreme Court ruled.

It decided that rather than a custodial sentence, the man should be fined between €5,000 and 30,000. The exact amount will be determined by a court in Catania.

Opposition politicians said that it was outrageous that the law had been changed and accused the centre-Left government of Matteo Renzi, the prime minister, of going soft on perverts.

“The Renzi government has never given equal opportunities much notice, but to save from the prison cells people who commit obscene acts in front of women is really unjustifiable,” said Elvira Savino, an MP from the centre-Right Forza Italia party. “The government’s law is an invitation to every maniac to molest women.”

Authorities on Wednesday dropped charges against a Bronx man accused in the fatal beating of another man who police said was trying to rape his wife.

As CBS2’s Ali Bauman reported, the arrest of Mamadou Diallo, 61, was a hotly-debated case back in May. He had been charged with manslaughter in the beating death of Earl Nash, 43.

The charges were reduced in June to assault and criminal possession.

Upon having the charges dropped, Diallo was celebrating much more than just his freedom. His attorney said before the charges were dropped, they had considered taking a plea deal – which could have had Diallo deported.

Diallo held the wife whom he saved as he walked out of the Bronx courthouse a free man.

“I was not thinking something like this would happen to me because I never make problem. I never make problem. For 60-something years, I never make problem,” Diallo said. “But when problem comes into your house, you have nothing to do.”

Diallo’s wife, Nenegale, was happy following his release too, 1010 WINS’ Carol D’Auria reported.

“Really, really happy today because it’s a surprise to me today for that,” she said.

The incident took place back in May on Washington Avenue and East 168th Street in the Morrisania section.

Diallo’s wife was at home when she answered a knock at her door and Nash pushed his way in, attacked her, pulled his pants down and tore off her clothes, according to authorities.

Her sister was in a back room of the apartment and broke up the attack, and Nenegale then called her husband.

Diallo caught Nash as he was running away, and a fight broke out, according to authorities. Diallo beat Nash with a tire iron in an elevator, according to authorities. He died a short time later at a hospital.

>Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto’s standing in the polls has sunk to record lows, and a new plagiarism scandal isn’t helping. So maybe meeting with a guy even less popular than he is could bring the Mexican public back to his side?

>That’s one theory being considered Wednesday as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump — a man who once called America’s third-largest trading partner an “enemy” — prepares to visit Mexico City later in the day. Trump's approval rating in Mexico, according to a June poll, was 2 percent. Peña Nieto is hovering around 23 percent.

>Still, the fact that the Mexican president invited Trump (as well as Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton) with less than three months to go in the U.S. presidential race has befuddled many observers of Latin America.

>"Why Peña Nieto wants this meeting is a total mystery. No matter how it is spun, it raises candidate Donald Trump’s profile and legitimacy," said Peter Schechter, director of the Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center at the Atlantic Council. "It will be unpopular with Mexicans, with the Hillary campaign, with all Americans who are worried about attempts to mainstream Trump."

>Former Mexican President Vicente Fox told CNN’s “New Day” early Wednesday that Peña Nieto "is taking an enormous political risk" by hosting Trump. If Peña Nieto is seen as "going soft" on the businessman, Fox warned, "it will hurt him greatly."

>It's possible Peña Nieto issued the invitations thinking neither candidate would ever show up. But it’s also possible that Peña Nieto could use the opportunity to upbraid Trump and defend his country, something many Mexicans may appreciate after being treated like a punching bag for months on the Republican campaign trail. The pair are due to host a press conference after their meeting Wednesday, giving both a stage to air grievances.

>A Florida man was arrested late last month after deputies said he robbed a pizza delivery man, but soiled himself and ran home to his mother when he thought authorities were after him.

>Brent Van Besien, 30, approached a pizza delivery man around 8:40 p.m. on June 27 outside a Lake County-area Domino’s with a gun and demanded he hand over his money, the Orlando Sentinel reports. After taking the delivery man’s $10, he ran off and had his wife drive him away from the establishment, deputies said.

>According to deputies, Van Besien saw authorities heading towards his house, which is when he soiled himself and told his wife to go to his mother’s home. Deputies said he told his mother “he did something stupid, the cops were looking for him and he could get ten years for it” and that he “(pooped) his pants” and wanted to say goodbye to her.

>GREENVILLE, S.C. — Greenville County Sheriff’s Office deputies have increased patrols after several new clown sightings.

>WSPA reports the first incident occurred on Aug. 21 when kids saw clowns in the woods, attempting to lure them with green lasers and money.

>The second incident occurred on Monday when a young girl called the sheriff’s office to report a man taking pictures of kids. She first saw the man taking pictures and another male emerged from the woods dressed as a clown.

>The man taking pictures of the children was riding a blue bike and the other male was wearing a black jacket and a clown mask.

>Deputies are investigating the incidents and have been unable to find enough evidence to validate the claims.

>Officials also responded to a clown sighting at an apartment complex Tuesday night. A resident allegedly confronted the clown, but he quickly left in a vehicle.

>Gov. Paul LePage left a state lawmaker from Westbrook an expletive-laden phone message Thursday in which he accused the legislator of calling him a racist, encouraged him to make the message public and said, “I’m after you.”

>LePage sent the message Thursday morning after a television reporter appeared to suggest that Democratic Rep. Drew Gattine was among several people who had called the governor a racist, which Gattine later denied. The exchange followed remarks the governor made in North Berwick on Wednesday night about the racial makeup of suspects arrested on drug trafficking charges in Maine.

>“Mr. Gattine, this is Gov. Paul Richard LePage,” a recording of the governor’s phone message says. “I would like to talk to you about your comments about my being a racist, you (expletive). 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 (expletive). You … I need you to, just friggin. I want you to record this and make it public because I am after you. Thank you.”

>LONDON — Scottish National Party leader Nicola Sturgeon says support for Scottish independence is growing and that the time is right for a "new conversation" on independence because of Britain's decision to leave the European Union.

>The Scottish First Minister said Friday her party would set up a website to gather public input on a possible independence referendum. A "listening exercise" with the goal of speaking to 2 million voters was also announced.

>She spoke nearly two years after Scottish voters rejected independence in a referendum.

>Sturgeon stopped short of calling for a second referendum but says the United Kingdom had fundamentally changed since then because of the Brexit vote in June.

>She says Scottish voters were being taken out of the EU against their will.
