Frankfurt, Germany:

A doctor (40) from Syria was sentenced to life without parole. In 2015 he came from Syria to Germany and worked as an orthopedist. He was convicted of torture (9), murder (2) and crimes against humanity for Assad in 2011/2012. Witnesses recognized him in a TV docu about Homs.

"The defendant enjoyed inflicting physical pain on people who seemed inferior to him", the judge said. The syrian regime tried to influence the trial until its end in 2024.

Maybe there’s something to reincarnation after all.

Quote:“I think there’s no question that these messages are representative of the modern GOP more so than any stock thoughts and prayers tweet that a staffer puts up,” said Jon Lewis, a research fellow at George Washington University’s Program on Extremism.

Democrats have been unequivocal in condemning the shootings, as have Congress’s top Republicans. “Such horrific political violence has no place in our society, and every leader must unequivocally condemn it,” said House speaker, Mike Johnson. Senate majority leader, John Thune, said he was “horrified at the events unfolding in Minnesota” and that “political violence has no place in our nation”.

Minnesota’s Republican party condemned the shooting, as did the state’s entire congressional delegation.

But when it comes to Trump and his most vociferous allies on social media, the message is more mixed. Trump initially condemned the attacks, saying on Saturday: “Such horrific violence will not be tolerated in the United States of America. God Bless the great people of Minnesota, a truly great place!”

But the following day, he struck a different tone, telling ABC News that the shooting was “a terrible thing” but calling Walz “a terrible governor” and “a grossly incompetent person”. “I may call him, I may call other people too,” he added. On Monday afternoon, Walz’s office said Trump had not called.

Meanwhile, on X, prominent rightwing figures were quick to promote conspiracy theories about what happened. Elon Musk, the erstwhile Trump sidekick who runs Tesla, shared a tweet from a pro-Trump account that read, in part: “The left has become a full blown domestic terrorist organization.”

“The far left is murderously violent” Musk wrote in his reply, which Lee shared, adding: “Fact check: TRUE”.

Laura Loomer, the rightwing extremist who is said to have played a role in encouraging Trump to fire national security officials, alleged the suspect had ties to the “No Kings” protests that took place nationwide on Saturday, and that Walz knew him.

The spread of outlandish falsehoods and conspiracy theories on social media has been a hallmark of the atmosphere Trump has brought to US politics over the past decade, and Lewis believes the country is now at a point where such fabrications have more prominence than politicians’ carefully written statements.

“The real problem now is that nothing matters, and I think that has been realized by the mainstream right in this country. There are no consequences for peddling disinformation or conspiracies,” he said.

They "condemn" it, but they won't support common sense gun laws.

Mel Gibson calls for his fellow Angelenos to overthrow Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass

Mel Gibson issued an astonishing call for the residents of Los Angeles to overthrow California Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass in response to the recent anti-ICE protests.

Gibson, an outspoken conservative best known for starring in the Mad Max and Lethal Weapon franchises and directing Braveheart (1995) and The Passion of the Christ (2004), issued the call during an appearance on Raymond Arroyo’s podcast, which the host then previewed on Fox News on Monday.

“Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass have already proven their incompetence and poor leadership during the Los Angeles wildfires,” the actor declared with his trademark intensity.

“Now, as we experience rampant lawlessness and civil unrest, it’s never been more clear: California is in a state of turmoil. And I ask my fellow Angelenos why Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass are still in office. How much more of their destructive decision-making masquerading as leadership are we going to tolerate?

“It’s time to take back our community and our state and put the power and the privilege in the hands of competent leaders whose goals are to protect us and the way of life this nation was founded upon and promises to offer.”

Moving swiftly to make light of Gibson’s dark pronouncement, Fox host Kayleigh McEnany, a former White House press secretary to Donald Trump, cheerily responded: “I can just hear him shouting, ‘Freedom!’ Like from Braveheart, right?”
