monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

He was found not guilty because there was not sufficient evidence to convict beyond a doubt, largely because he murdered the other person who could prove he lied.

No such physical evidence.

the ear-witness evidence shows he was lying.

Trayvon was perfectly justified in acting in self-defense in fear for his life by trying to take the gun away from the crazy person who threatened him with it

and then killed him with it for no reason.

An Ethiopian Airlines jet has crashed shortly after take-off from Addis Ababa, killing all on board.

The airline said 149 passengers and eight crew members were on flight ET302 from the Ethiopian capital to Nairobi in Kenya.

It said 32 Kenyans, 18 Canadians, eight Americans and seven British nationals were among the passengers.

The crash happened at 08:44 local time, six minutes after the months-old Boeing 737 Max-8 took off.

Another plane of the same model was involved in a crash less than five months ago, when a Lion Air flight crashed into the sea near Indonesia with nearly 190 people on board.

The cause of the disaster is not yet clear. However, the pilot had reported difficulties and had asked to return to Addis Ababa, the airline said.

"At this stage, we cannot rule out anything," Ethiopian Airlines CEO Tewolde Gebremariam told reporters at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa.

"We cannot also attribute the cause to anything because we will have to comply with the international regulation to wait for the investigation."

Lucky for some the tos doesn't kick liars

The confrontation occurred in the back yard of Trayvon's unit, about a block or more from where Zimmerman's car and Zimmerman were oparked in the street. Zimmerman profiled hi, ,chased him from his car into the backyard, arrived out of breath and grabbed Trayvon.

There is no physical evidence Trayvon was beating him,

but Z was the aggressor.

Trayvon feared for his life when the gun was pulled

and was perfectly justified trying to get the gun away from what he regarded with much justification as a crazy person.

Z commited legalized murder.

Hungarian Prime Minister Ready To Bust Up EU If Mass Immigration is Enforced

Orban was a student freedom fighter against communist tyranny when he was in college before the liberation of Hungary. He has obviously not lost his youthful ethos as he continues to wage war on behalf of freedom – this time against a cabal of international corporate bureaucrats who desperately need to be cut down to size.

The false equivalence of Islamophobia and anti-Semitism

I have been traveling in the Middle East for the last few weeks and slightly regret returning to the maelstrom of ancient animosities and unbridgeable sectarianism that is modern Britain. But in my absence I see that one of the worst tropes of our time has been stalking unhindered across the land. That is, of course, the latest push to make an equivalence between anti-Semitism and the crock term ‘Islamophobia’.

If I had a pound for every time I have had to make the point I am about to make I could well become as rich as Jeremy Corbyn. But here we go again: anti-Semitism is hatred or suspicion of Jews because they are Jews. It is an irrational prejudice built on centuries of stereotypes and hatreds which culminated in the worst crime in human history, on our continent, in the last century. ‘Islamophobia’, by contrast, is a term which can claim almost anything that the wielder claims it to mean. So in many peoples’ eyes, it is ‘Islamophobic’ to ever say anything negative about any aspect of Islam or any action carried out by any Muslim in the name of their faith. Among much else, those who wield the term hope that they can present the situation of Muslims in modern Europe as so dire that they have pretty much already suffered an equal amount to the Jews of Europe in the 20th century. Islamists, their sympathizers and useful idiots appear to be hoping that if they can point to some mean things said on social media then in time they can present this as indistinguishable from the organized murder, in living memory, of six million Jews.

The Indonesian woman accused of killing Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of North Korea's leader, has been freed after charges against her were dropped.

Siti Aisyah had been accused of smearing VX nerve agent on Mr Kim's face in Kuala Lumpur airport in 2017.

She and her co-accused, Vietnamese Doan Thi Huong, deny murder and say they thought they were part of a TV prank.

The brazen killing at an international airport left observers stunned and gripped international headlines.

After several months of delay, the defence phase of the trial was set to begin Monday, with testimony from Ms Huong.

However, the prosecutor in the case requested the murder charge for Siti Aisyah be dropped, without giving a reason.

In a letter to the Indonesian law minister though, Malaysia's attorney general explained the decision was taking into account considerations Jakarta raised about the case as well as the good relations between the two countries.

The judge approved the request, saying "Siti Aisyah is freed", according to AFP news agency. However, this does not amount to an acquittal.
