  • Judge Apologizes to Attempted Assassination Suspect

    A federal judge on Monday decried the prison treatment of President Donald Trump’s alleged would-be assassin, and apologized to him for restrictive confinement imposed by jail staff.

    VERBATIM: Cole Allen has been in federal custody since prosecutors say he attempted to crash the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and kill President Trump along with other high-level government officials.

    Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui told a Department of Corrections attorney that he was “fascinated and disturbed” by Allen’s treatment in jail. Allen was placed on suicide watch when he was first imprisoned.

    Prosecutor Jocelyn Ballantine reasoned that since Allen told investigators he did not expect to survive the alleged attack, he could be a danger to himself.

    Bernie Bennett, Washington.

    VERBATIM:Per capita income in the United States is 90-thousand dollars – about 60 percent higher than in the United Kingdom, where it stands at roughly 57-thousand-600. Economists say higher income can point to a stronger economy and higher living standards, though it doesn’t factor in costs like housing or healthcare. The gap highlights America’s stronger overall economic output and productivity compared to Britain.

    Christians in Iraq are still having trouble

    VERBATIM:  According to a new analysis by England’s  All-Party Parliamentary Group for International Freedom of Religion or Belief, Iraqi believers still face violent persecution and repression, years after ISIS was finally expelled from the country.  Christians living in the Kurdistan region are doing pretty well, but elsewhere in the country they are still being victimized by their Muslim neighbors.  Christians make up just about three percent of Iraq’s population.  MH REPORTING
