Human Rights Lawyer Gets Six Months in Jail for Airborne Abuse

A self-described “international criminal lawyer for the Palestinian people” who spewed F bombs and racially charged insults during a rant on an Air India flight is heading to jail. Simone Burns, a.k.a., Simone O’Broin, pleaded guilty in March to assault and being drunk on an aircraft. On Thursday, a London court sentenced her to six months behind bars. Reportedly, the source of the November 2018 dispute is that flight attendants declined to serve her a fourth bottle of wine on the Mumbai to London morning flight.  Cops arrested Burns when the plane landed at Heathrow airport. read more

Israel Apartheid: Here’s the Proof

Critics of Israel, including those activists in the Boycott, Disinvestment, and Sanctions movement, argue that the Jewish state practices apartheid. So-called Israel Apartheid Week is scheduled for April 8-11, overlapping with Israel’s April 9 national election and the run-up to the Passover celebration. Against that backdrop, it seems appropriate to point out that the small country is the only functioning, westernized democracy in the Middle East. Like the U.S., Israel has issues, not the least of which is its own Deep State seeking to undermine incumbent Prime Minister Netanyahu. Among other civil rights, it is also a country where people are free to practice any religion or no religion. A visitor walking down the street of any Israeli city will immediately realize that it is a diverse, multi-ethnic, multicultural country. These compelling images say it all about Israel apartheid. read more

Robert Kraft Is Fighting the Law – Will the Law Win?

Attorneys for Robert Kraft and Palm Beach, County, Fla, prosecutors are still jockeying for position in the pending criminal case against the billionaire New England Patriots owner. It appears, however, that apart from the authorities’ initial splashy press conference and some subsequent comments, no evidence of human trafficking at the Jupiter, Fla., massage parlor has apparently emerged. This raises a fundamental question: Shouldn’t local cops be investigating or preventing serious felonies rather than spending/wasting time pursuing low-level charges against Mr. Kraft and other spa customers. If human trafficking was really going on, cops in the multi-county investigation were duty-bound to immediately rescue the women held against their will and shut down the locations rather than investigate for six months or so. Although prostitution is obviously illegal in Florida, morality aside, it appears that the scenario revolves around consenting adults engaging in commerce. read more

WFAN Host Craig Carton Sentenced to 3-1/2 Years in Prison

A federal judge today sentenced former New York City sports radio WFAN host Craig Carton to 3-1/2 year behind bars for his involvement in an apparent Ponzi scheme. Carton has admitted to being a high-rolling gambling addict which led to the wrongdoing. Clinton-appointed Judge Colleen McMahon threw Carton a curve ball by opening up with the tired talk radio refrain, “Colleen from New York. First time, long time,” the New York Post reported. read more

California Woman Harasses and Threatens to Dox MAGA-Hat-Wearing Senior Citizen

An older man minding his own business at a Palo Alto, Cal., Starbucks apparently triggered a woman merely because he was wearing a MAGA hat, according to news reports. The woman who tried to bully him, described by Palo Alto Online as a member of a local progressive Democrat organization, accused the 74 year old of being a Nazi and racist. It turns out the man is Jewish. A music store where the woman worked subsequently fired her. read more

Theresa May Meets with ‘Marxist’ Jeremy Corbyn on Brexit

U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May today met with Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, who critics describe as a Marxist, to try to break the Brexit deadlock in the House of Commons, the British parliament. May repeatedly promised the British electorate that Brexit means Brexit, that the U.K. would officially escape the Brussels-based European Union on March 29, and that no deal is better than a bad deal. She has lived up to none of those commitments. The deal that she negotiated, which Brexit champion Nigel Farage calls a surrender document and a binding treaty, would actually keep the U.K. trapped in the EU as a non-voting member, i.e. Brexit in Name Only (BRINO). read more
