The eastern German town of Chemnitz, Saxony, has been the site of violent far-right protests, sparked by rumors, false information and anti-foreigner sentiment. 

The events in Chemnitz began when a 35-year-old German-Cuban man, Daniel H., suffered an injury then died. 

Yet, only hours after the incident, Facebook and Twitter were awash with posts claiming the man had died after defending a woman from attackers with migrant backgrounds a rumor authorities have denied.

Within several hours, around 800 far-right demonstrators had spontaneously taken to the streets in protest of the man’s death. 

Protestors hurled bottles at the police and chased those who appeared to be foreigners, with some shouting “you are not welcome here,” reported German media. 

After all the problems caused by migrants, created a great concern to  the public and the politicians, but the politicians kept their mouth shout.

After Hours...

Allegations of housing authority staff engaged in after-hours, boozed-up sex parties prompted NYCHA to reassign the entire staff of a Bronx public housing development, the Daily News has learned.  

The authority’s top management was told the supervisor of caretakers regularly hosted parties inside a groundskeepers shop in the Throggs Neck Houses, sources told The News.

The parties included drinking and sex involving supervisors and some of their subordinates and took place on Fridays after normal work hours inside certain areas of the shop, which is on NYCHA grounds, the sources say.  In some cases, the staff even put in for overtime.

Sexual acts on Friday, after working hours! Let us wait for the investigation. Just a thought.

GDP Jumps...

The U.S. economy accelerated to a 4.1 percent pace of growth in the second quarter, the fastest since 2014, letting President Donald Trump claim a win for his policies.

The annualized rate of gains in gross domestic product was just shy of the 4.2 percent median forecast in a Bloomberg survey. It followed first-quarter growth of 2.2 percent that was revised from 2 percent. Consumer spending grew 4 percent.

Trump seized the chance to declare his policies, including the biggest tax overhaul since the Reagan era, a success, calling the data “amazing” and “very sustainable.”  

Manal Mikhail...

 

أدى الرئيس المصري عبد الفتاح السيسي اليمين الدستورية في العديد من حكام الأقاليم الجدد ، بما في ذلك أول امرأة مسيحية قبطية لتولي المنصب.
تم تعيين منال عوض ميخائيل حاكمة محافظة دمياط. كانت سابقا نائبا لحاكم الجيزة.

Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi has sworn in several new provincial governors, including the first-ever Coptic Christian woman to hold the position.

Manal Awad Mikhail was appointed governor of Damietta province. She was previously a deputy for the Giza governor.

Egypt had appointed the first-ever female governor to the province of Beheira in a reshuffle last year. The Beheira governor was changed in Thursday's reshuffle.

Christians, who constitute about 25 percent of Egypt's Muslim-majority population of 100 million, have long complained of discrimination and their under-representation in top government positions. Christians strongly supported president el-Sissi.

You Go Girl.

Dual...

Sen. Lindsey Graham told CBS that it “pisses [him] off to no end” when President Donald Trump would say critical, sometimes personally insulting things about the late Sen. John McCain. 

Earlier this week, after delivering an emotional tribute to his friend on the senate floor, Graham told reporters that the late Arizona senator offered him some advice on how to handle the president.

"He said, 'Help him where you can. Just don't get sucked into all his bulls--t,'" Graham said, of his conversation with McCain. 

What "shared" interests the dual had with the previous presidents and the distance with this current one?  One thing Trump won't bite.

Looking...

Google is sort of accused of hiding conservative views. If this is true, that would explain the power that is shifting to the new media.

One Minute...

Libya’s coast guard has intercepted about 400 Europe-bound migrants off the Mediterranean coast.

Spokesman  said  a rubber boat carrying 84 passengers was stopped off the town of al-Maya, 27 kilometers (16 miles) west of Tripoli.

Two more boats, carrying 146 passengers were stopped off the coast of the southwestern town of Abu Kammash.

He said that 162 Europe-bound migrants have been intercepted last week. He said the migrants were given humanitarian and medical aid, and were taken to refugee camps in the towns of Zawiya and Tajoura.

Libyan authorities have stepped up efforts to stem the flow of migrants, with European assistance.

The illegal migrants may not like that. The human traffickers don't like it. Just a thought.

Misleading Statement...

Amazon has had enough of Bernie Sanders. The online retailer accused the Vermont senator of spreading "misleading statements" about the pay it offers workers, while urging Sanders to visit one of the company's fulfillment centers.

"We have been in regular contact with his office and have offered several opportunities for Senator Sanders and his team to tour one of our fulfillment centers (FCs)," Amazon said in a blog post. "To date he has still not seen an FC for himself."

Sanders, who has repeatedly highlighted the disparity in income between Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, the richest person in the world, and his workers, plans to introduce legislation that would make large employers like Amazon foot the bill for federal aid received by their workers, including food stamps and Medicaid.

Not going to work.  Just a thought.

Burn Baby Burn...

The Hillary /Obama succeeded to derail this guy then they ran out of fuel. All in all Sanders exposed the ins and outs of this Democratic machine.
