Man Attempts to Set Fire to a Melbourne Synagogue
A man tried to set a centuries-old synagogue in East Melbourne, Australia, on fire on Friday, officials said, the latest in a spell of anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim incidents in the country since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. None of the approximately 20 people who were inside the synagogue were injured, according to statement from the police in the state of Victoria, of which Melbourne is the capital. Firefighters arrived at the scene within minutes and cleared a small blaze that damaged the synagogue's front door, the Victoria fire department said. The attack came hours after tensions flared elsewhere in the center of Melbourne, as dozens of demonstrators rallied against what they called excessive security at local protests. The police said a group of 20 of the demonstrators walked to a restaurant and began 'shouting offensive chants' at people having dinner. The attack on Friday followed a larger attack on a synagogue in Melbourne in December. Charges have not been filed in that case.

TN Yanks Driving Privileges from Bullies
Teen bullying here in Tennessee now comes with a very inconvenient penalty. I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. In a noble effort to combat bullying and cyberbullying, a new law here in Tennessee states that any minor found guilty of bullying or cyberbullying in juvenile court will lose their driving privileges for one year. This was a bipartisan measure that lawmakers here in the volunteer state hope to see other states adopt. The law might seem a bit harsh but it does offer a second chance for first time offenders and has a carve out to allow teens to drive with restricted privileges to church, school and work. That does require sign off by a judge, however. It's a noble endeavor. Far too many young people suffer long term consequences from bullying and far too many even resort to taking their own life. I do think this law is going to be tough to enforce, though. One man's 'teasing' is another man's 'bullying' and the discretion here seems pretty broad. Even so, I hope parents will step up to the plate and fill the void. Manners, decency and godliness in the home would go a long way and probably be more effective than yanking driving privileges.
