Raising a giant wooden cross, the men and women retraced the Old City route that they believe Jesus Christ took before his crucifixion. As they streamed by, at least seven ultra-Orthodox Jews spit on the ground beside the Christian tour group. Activists who have been documenting daily attacks against Christians in the Holy Land were taken aback by the sudden wave of government attention. “Attacks against Christians have 100% increased this year, and not just spitting, but throwing stones and vandalizing signs,” said Harani, the expert.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGMSNBC’s Joe Scarborough on Tuesday ridiculed Donald Trump’s attacks on Judge Arthur Engoron, the jurist who is overseeing the civil fraud case brought against the ex-president by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Last week, Engoron ruled that Trump had committed fraud for years by overvaluing his assets to seal deals and secure bank loans. Engoron ordered that some of Trump’s companies be dissolved. Scarborough suggested that “any other defendant in America in this position” would apologize, throw themselves “on the mercy of the court” and vow to tighten up procedures at their business. But despite all that, Trump is “doing the exact opposite of what he should be doing,” said Scarborough.

Max added the live stream of CNN on Max on September 27. DIRECTV did not say it would take action against WBD, the Times reports.

By Summer LinLos Angeles TimesLOS ANGELES — Twelve Los Angeles County cities filed a lawsuit Friday seeking to postpone the controversial new zero-bail policy that allows some nonviolent defendants charged with felonies or misdemeanors to be cited and released after being arrested. A new pretrial protocol will eliminate money bail for most people in Los Angeles County between their arrest and their arraignment, beginning Oct. 1. The cities seeking the injunction claim that the bail schedule will result in a "significant increase in criminals released back into the community" after their arrest. "The zero-bail schedule fails to support local leaders in their pledge to protect their residents, and that is unacceptable." After L.A. County implemented a zero-bail policy for many offenses to ease jail crowding during the pandemic, some police officials said it resulted in an increase in crime and recidivism.

There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections. In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways.
