Palestinian fatally stabs sleeping Israeli girl in West Bank settlement – The Washington Post
A few things on this…
1.) This was an absolutely vile and horrible act.
2.) This absolutely vile and horrible act is murder, not terrorism.
3.) Greeeeeaaaat. Now the Israeli government will turn this isolated (and not at all falling under the definition of terrorism) murder into more soundbite rationalizations for the unjustified terrorism they inflict on their own citizens and their neighbors.

Mike Lee On Why He Hasn’t Endorsed Trump
“We can get into the fact that he accused my best friend’s father of conspiring to kill JFK. We can go through the fact that he’s made statements that some have identified correctly as religiously intolerant. We can get into the fact that he’s wildly unpopular in my state, in part because my state consists of people who are members of a religious minority church. A people who were ordered exterminated by the governor of Missouri in 1838. And statements like that make them nervous.”

Louisiana judge to stop jailing defendants over fees – Houston Chronicle
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A Louisiana judge accused by a rights group of running a modern-day debtors prison agreed Monday to temporarily stop jailing defendants for nonpayment of fees and assessing certain costs on defendants, according to a court filing. Last week, the organization filed a lawsuit accusing Black of sending poor defendants to jail when they can’t pay fines and fees and charging them a questionable “extension fee” to avoid jail time.
…Civil rights lawyers in September filed a similar lawsuit in New Orleans alleging that hundreds of people had been locked up because they lacked the money to pay court fees and thousands more are threatened with arrest each year for nonpayment of court debts.
