Muslims heed calls to avoid holy site over Israeli security measures
Muslims heeded calls Monday not to enter a Jerusalem holy site and protested outside after Israeli authorities installed metal detectors at entrances to the ultra-sensitive compound following an attack that killed two policemen. The compound was largely empty on Monday apart from tourists and Jewish visitors, with Muslims again praying and protesting outside the site instead of entering through the metal detectors. The Haram al-Sharif compound, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, includes the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa mosque.
Hackers tried to infiltrate state's voter registration system almost 150,000 times on US election day
Hackers tried to access South Carolina's voter registration system almost 150,000 times on Election Day alone, a new report from the state's Election Commission has revealed. The report plays into a larger pattern of attempted hacking in the 2016 election, in which the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says more than 20 US states were targeted. Intelligence officials believe much of the election meddling was carried out by Russian hackers.
Trump's 'Made in America' week is already failing and it's not even Tuesday
Donald Trump, who loves nothing more than themed weeks, would have been far more successful had he run for president of my middle school student council than president of the United States. Alas, here we are smack dab at the beginning of "Made in America" week and already, the backlash has begun. Maybe he just needs better posters? SEE ALSO: Shiny objects foreign leaders are using to distract Trump so he doesn't destroy their world The President is supposed to host a "Made in America" product showcase and deliver a speech enjoining companies to produce more at home. But Trump has come under highly understandable amounts of social media fire to this whole "Made in America" week when products from his an his daughter's companies aren't actually made in America. Trump's ties, for example, have been made in countries where production costs are low, including Bangladesh, China, Medico and Indonesia, for years. And everyone was very excited to bring it up: Maybe during Made in America Week we can hear from U.S. steel workers who were screwed by Trump for years as he bought metal from China. — Matt McDermott (@mattmfm) July 17, 2017 Asked if “Made in America” week includes commitment by Trump Org or Ivanka brand to produce in USA, WH says "we’ll get back to you on that." — Philip Rucker (@PhilipRucker) July 16, 2017 Apparently the White House announced this 'Made in America' week. Must be because of all the home-grown fabrication they do. #GrabYourWallet pic.twitter.com/QgR5N5oYEM — Shannon Coulter (@shannoncoulter) July 17, 2017 Will they also hold a not made in America week to showcase all of the Trump family products? — B Cohen (@bjcohen76) July 16, 2017 Happy #MadeInAmericaWeek @IvankaTrump @realDonaldTrump #IvankaTrump pic.twitter.com/TzQwxESBUi — beetinik (@Beetinick) July 17, 2017 For Made in America week, let's remember that Nixon used American labor to steal from DNC. He didn't outsource it to the Russians. https://t.co/R86Pt7qud4 — Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) July 16, 2017 The W.H. just unveiled Made in America week.Most Trump products are made in a dozen countries that aren't the U.S. https://t.co/jsPm46zVjf — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) July 16, 2017 A recent
Washington Post investigation found that products from the Ivanka Trump brand were routinely manufactured in countries like Bangladesh, Indonesia, and China, where labor protections are poor. Ivanka failed to meet basic apparel industry standards, which critics have derided are already low enough. The company was further accused of failing to monitor its suppliers, who are supposed to protect workers from physical abuse and child labor. Can we please move onto the next themed week already? I've been waiting for Pajama Day or at least Twins day for sixteen years now, and it's getting kind of old. WATCH: Watch this team rescue an elephant that was swept into the sea
See the New Trillion-Ton Antarctic Iceberg in Image from Space
This baby's a behemoth: At approximately 2,200 square miles (5,800 square kilometers), the iceberg represents about 10 percent of the Larsen C ice shelf, which it was a part of until it broke off this week. The 'berg is slightly bigger than Delaware in area and similarly proportioned: While the Blue Hen State is 96 miles (154 km) long, the Larsen C iceberg measures about 99 miles (159 km) from end to end, meaning it would take a little over an hour and a half to traverse it by car, assuming you had a car that could manage 60 mph (nearly 100 km/h) on uneven, floating sea ice. An instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite snapped one of the first images of this new iceberg on July 12, 2017, using thermal measurements to distinguish between ice and open water.
