'You are a vicious unethical monster'

Controversial Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Minn.) suggested Friday that "Israeli occupation" was to blame after Palestinian terrorists murdered a 17-year-old Jewish girl hiking with her family in the West Bank.
The girl, Rina Shnerb, was killed when an improvised explosive devise denoted at a popular tourist site outside the West Bank settlement of Dolev. Shnerb was pronounced dead at the scene, while her father and brother sustained life-threatening injuries and were airlifted out of the area.
From Haaretz:
According to the military, it remains unclear whether the charge was hidden at the site of the explosion or thrown at the family that was hiking there. The army has ruled out the possibility that the charge was hurled out of a moving vehicle and said it appeared the device was home-made.
Defense sources said that the explosive device that was used was large, forceful and required advanced knowledge and skill to assemble. However, it has yet to be determined if the incident is tied to a major organization.
It wasn't immediately clear who exactly carried out the brutal attack, but Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh commended whoever did, calling the actions "heroic," Haaretz reported.
What did Tlaib say?
In response, Tlaib said her "heart goes out to Rina's family," then immediately turned to seemingly blame the attack on "Israeli occupation."

Report: Gwyneth Paltrow, George Stephanopoulos Attended Jeffrey Epstein’s Star-Studded Party

An array of TV anchors and Hollywood power players, including actress Gwyneth Paltrow and ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, attended a party held by the late financier and convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, The Daily Mail reported Saturday.
The party Jeffrey Epstein, which was held 2nd December 2010 at Epstein’s New York mansion in honor of The Duke of York, was reportedly attended by multiple celebrities, including former White House communications director turned ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos, journalist Katie Couric, film director Woody Allen, as well as actresses Jennifer Aniston, Chelsea Handler, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
The presence of such figures raises questions as to whether they were aware of Epstein’s continued illicit sexual activities, with the late financier already having been convicted in 2008 of procuring an underage girl for prostitution, a crime for which he served over a year in prison with work release.
According to the Mail, attendees who would have walked Epstein’s range of erotic artwork en route to his second-floor dining room, including a painting of Bill Clinton in red heels and a blue dress, a reference to the outfit worn by Monica Lewinsky when she performed oral sex on the former president in the Oval Office.
The most high-profile figure allegedly implicated or at least aware of Epstein’s crimes was Prince Andrew himself, otherwise known as the Duke of York. Multiple reports have alleged that the pair share a close relationship and Andrew regularly met and interacted with Epstein’s victims aboard his private jet.
Andrew has denied all knowledge of Epstein’s activities, claiming in a statement on Saturday that he not did “see, witness or suspect any behavior of the sort that subsequently led to [the] arrest and conviction” of the controversial financier. Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in his Manhattan jail cell earlier this month.
“I have said previously that it was a mistake and an error to see him after his release [from prison] in 2010 and I can only reiterate my regret that I was mistaken to think that what I thought I knew of him was evidently not the real person, given what we now know,” Andrew said in a statement.

The Inside Story Of How The Army Reduced Standards To Get Women Through Ranger Training
August 29th, 2019
Editor’s note: What follows is one in a two-part series of adapted excerpts from decorated veteran and conservative writer James Hasson’s new book Stand Down: How Social Justice Warriors Are Sabotaging America’s Military (Here at Barnes and Noble). The first part covers the intense training required for most Ranger candidates, and how that training was blunted internally by bureaucrats and military officials with an agenda. The second part, posted tomorrow, will cover the military’s response when news began to leak, and how they tried to cover up their malfeasance.
When the first integrated class started on April 19, none of the nineteen female candidates made it through the Darby phase of the course.

California charter schools are excluding and forcing out kids with disabilities, report finds
Aug 27, 2019 10:27am PDT by Laura Clawson, Daily Kos Staff
2264
California charter schools are systematically leaving disabled kids behind—or worse. A recent report from United Teachers Los Angeles and the California Teachers Association looks at three large school districts, finding that charter schools in all three are enrolling fewer students with disabilities, and especially fewer students with moderate to severe disabilities, than local public schools. And some of the ways charter schools are excluding and forcing out kids with disabilities are downright abusive.
The report looks at Los Angeles, San Diego, and Oakland. In Oakland, 13.58% of the students in district schools have disabilities, while just 7.67% of charter school students have disabilities. In San Diego, it’s 15.07% to 12.96%, and in Los Angeles, it’s 14.16% to 11.11%. For kids with moderate to severe disabilities—autism, intellectual disability, orthopedic impairment—the gap is even bigger.
Those gaps mean that not only are charter schools abdicating responsibility for kids who deserve an education just as every other kid does, but they leave a gap in public school budgets—charter schools are siphoning off money from those budgets to begin with, and they’re doing it while refusing to educate the kids who need more support and can be the most costly and challenging to teach.
If you look only at the overall disparity in enrollment of any students with disabilities, this is costing San Diego schools $5.1 million, Oakland schools $9.33 million, and Los Angeles schools $50.09 million. If you take the severity of the disabilities into account, those numbers jump to $12.49 million in San Diego, $10.1 million in Oakland, and $74.65 million in Los Angeles. Bear in mind that Oakland and Los Angeles teachers have been out on strike this year over funding issues.
But as gross as it is that charter schools aren’t educating the highest-needs kids and that this refusal is impacting all the kids in the public schools in these cities, it gets worse. Because all too often the way a charter school excludes a student with disabilities is by mistreating them until they leave. Vanessa Aguirre tried to keep up with her daughter Isabel’s assignments and needs, only to have staff repeatedly schedule meetings with her and then tell her—the day before the scheduled meeting—that she’d missed it and they’d be putting a letter in Isabel’s file. When Vanessa finally learned how to log on to an assignments portal, she was able to help Isabel make progress—for a few days, until a staffer changed the password and locked them out. That was all the precursor to the special education staff telling Vanessa that the school simply couldn’t handle Isabel’s disability. This is a cruel way to treat a child, and it’s not an isolated case. Nereyda Bautista’s autistic daughter was “regularly separated from the other students and taken to sit in the school’s main office until the end of each day. There, she was left alone to entertain herself with colored pencils and paper.” She was in kindergarten at the time.
