Parliament descends into chaotic, bloody brawl over jailed opposition leader

Turkey’s parliament descended into chaos Friday after a member of an opposition party called President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s party a “terrorist organization.” 

A member of Erdoğan’s party approached Ahmet Sik, who is in the same Workers’ Party of Turkey as a delegate believed to have been jailed for political reasons, and attacked him after Sik made the “terrorist” claim. 

“We’re not surprised that you call Can Atalay a terrorist, just as you do everyone who does not side with you,” Sik said in his speech. “But the biggest terrorists are the ones sitting in these seats.” 

Soon, dozens of lawmakers had joined the skirmish, with some throwing punches and papers and others trying to stop the fighting. 

LAWMAKERS BRAWL AS TAIWAN’S PARLIAMENT DESCENDS INTO CHAOS

A female lawmaker was hit, splattering blood across the parliamentary podium. 

“It is a shameful situation,” Ozgur Ozel, who heads the Republican People’s Party, the largest opposition party, told The Associated Press. “Instead of words flying in the air, fists are flying. There is blood on the ground. They are hitting women.”

The Turkish Grand National Assembly had been debating Can Atalay, who was elected as a parliamentary deputy in May 2023 while imprisoned for his role in 2013 anti-government protests

Atalay, who was sentenced to 18 years in prison in 2022 over the protests that challenged Erdoğan’s rule, wants to serve his term in parliament, saying he would return to prison afterward.

Being in parliament would give him immunity from prosecution.

In an Aug. 1 ruling, the Constitutional Court said the decision to not allow Atalay to take his seat in parliament was “null and void” after parliament stripped him of his seat. 

It was the Constitutional Court’s third ruling in Atalay’s favor, but the lower courts have been ignoring its rulings. 

International human rights groups have called Atalay’s and others’ jailing and sentencing, including philanthropist Osman Kavala, arbitrary and politically motivated. 

“Atalay’s personal freedom and security, as well as his right to be elected, which the Constitutional Court ruled to have been violated, should be restored,” Amnesty International’s Turkey office said Friday in a social media post.

Parliament reopened three hours later with Sik and the lawmaker who attacked him being reprimanded by the parliament’s speaker. 

VP Harris unites critics in confusion with ‘day one’ plan: ‘What are you talking about?’

Vice President Kamala Harris promised to prioritize a price-fixing plan on “day one,” but commentators asked why she hasn’t brought down inflation already while in the executive branch.

“When I am President, it will be a day one priority to bring down prices,” Harris declared in a Thursday night social media post. “I’ll take on big corporations that engage in illegal price gouging and corporate landlords that unfairly raise rents on working families.”

But the vice president and presidential hopeful faces one unique challenge in arguing about policy, the fact she has failed to enact such changes over the course of the Biden-Harris administration she currently presides in, a point many commentators pointed out.

“What have you been doing the last four years?” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, inquired.

LIBERAL WAPO COLUMNIST SAYS HARRIS’ PRICE CONTROLS SOUND LIKE ‘COMMUNISM’

“Day 1 was 3.5 years ago for you. What are you talking about?” co-owner of Trending Politics Collin Rugg asked.

“‘Day one.’ We’re supposed to vote for her because of the past four years, which we’re supposed to pretend never happened,” Substacker Jim Treacher posted.

Columnist Jon Gabriel wrote, “You’ve spent three-and-a-half years raising prices.”

Political scientist Josiah Lippincott noted, “You are vice president right now. Why aren’t you working on these issues?”

“You are VP now. Your day one was almost 4 years ago. You are simultaneously running as the current VP while running against the administration that you are VP of,” strategist Yossi Gestetner said, while knocking her plan. “Price Controls reduce incentives to produce which rescues supply which leaves more people with less. Genius.”

Conservative commentator Paul Szypula argued that Harris is responsible for the economic woes in the first place, “Kamala Harris has been Vice President for four years and has brought up prices 20% on average. Prices are high because inflation is high. Harris cast the vote to make it that way.”

“Lol she did our headline,” The Babylon Bee managing editor Joel Berry said as he shared a screenshot of his parody outlet’s headline, “‘I Will Fix Things If You Vote Me Into Office,’ Says Woman Currently In Office.”

BIDEN INSTRUCTS MEDIA TO ‘START WRITING’ THAT HIS INFLATION POLICIES ARE ‘WORKING’

Other commentators slammed the policy itself. 

Finance and culture commentator account Wall Street Silver argued that historical and contemporary examples show nothing good about such policy.

“Price controls failed in the 1970s when Nixon tried them. Companies reduce production because they cannot make a profit at the govt ordered price,” he wrote. “This results in shortages as companies respond to govt controls. Kamala is a socialist and will turn us into Venezuela.”

“This has led to economic ruin in every nation it’s been tried. Every single one. And at least half of Americans will still think this is an amazing idea. I’m not saying we’re doomed, but we’re probably doomed,” Red State’s Bonchie said.

Red State columnist Buzz Patterson wrote, “It’s called communism and it doesn’t work. How many times does the world need to prove this?”

“Kamala Harris wants to institute price controls across key areas like food and housing just like they do in socialist nations,” conservative writer Libby Emmons said. “And then she wants to make it harder for big corporations to create new jobs by destroying tax cuts, incentives for investment in the US.”

Another conservative writer, Virginia Kruta, offered a similar condemnation of the policy and Harris for advocating for it.

“Read: if you run a small grocery store or own one house/building for rent, you’re screwed and she doesn’t care,” she warned. “If she puts a price control on larger corporate stores and landlords, they will be forced to charge less than the little guys, and the little guys will lose.”

Harris rolled out her economic plan on Friday during a speech in Raleigh, North Carolina.

“When I am elected president, I will make it a top priority to bring down costs and increase economic security for all Americans. As president, I will take on the high costs that matter most to most Americans, like the cost of food,” she said. “We all know that prices went up during the pandemic when the supply chains shut down and failed, but our supply chains have now improved and prices are still too high.”

She later added, “I know most businesses are creating jobs, contributing to our economy, and playing by the rules, but some are not, and that’s just not right, and we need to take action when that is the case.”

Big changes are coming to the housing market — what buyers and sellers need to know now

Changes from a landmark settlement affecting broker commissions from America’s largest real estate trade association take effect this weekend, potentially creating a more complex and uncertain buying process for consumers, according to industry experts.

The changes made under the National Association of Realtors’ (NAR) $418 million settlement, announced in March, “adds more uncertainty and unknowns to an already stressful and pressured industry,” Phil Crescenzo Jr., vice president of Nation One Mortgage’s southeast division, told FOX Business. 

While the deal is bound to make the process more complex, Pending CEO Noel Roberts, says it will pave the way for more transparency and negotiations with agency commissions on deals. Pending is a tech-powered real estate firm that facilitates off-market transactions. 

Under the settlement, NAR agreed to put in place a new rule prohibiting offers of compensation on listing databases governed by the group, also known as multiple listing services (MLS), to end a series of lawsuits claiming broker commission policies resulted in inflated fees and violated antitrust laws. 

REDFIN CEO SAYS HOUSING MARKET IS IN A ‘FUNK’ AS HOMEBUYERS WEIGH ELECTION UNCERTAINTY

NAR didn’t admit any wrongdoing and has repeatedly said the trade group does not set commissions. NAR said these fees have and will remain entirely negotiable between brokers and clients.  

Under the new rules, sellers are no longer required to offer compensation to a buyer’s agent, disrupting the traditional 5%-6% commission split in which the seller usually covers both the listing and buyer’s agent fees, according to Roberts. 

Deals will now require explicit agreements through a buyer agency agreement (BAA), a legal contract that defines what a buyer’s agent will earn, independent of what the seller offers. The agreement is required before a buyer tours a home. 

REAL ESTATE MOGUL CAUTIONS ABOUT AVOIDABLE MISTAKE WHEN BUYING A HOME, EXPLAINS HOW TO AVOID ‘DROWNING’

Given that these commission fees were and still are negotiable between both sides, it does not directly change how much Realtors earn, according to Crescenzo Jr.

And because the changes take effect Saturday, Crescenzo Jr. noted that the actual impact on what this will do to the market and how agents and firms will process transactions going forward, has yet to be seen. 

“The new rules will shift the value proposition of using a buyer’s agent. Active inventory doesn’t reflect the actual inventory available in the market,” Roberts said. “There are a ton of potential sellers unwilling to list publicly but still open to offers. With many homes easily found online, the real value of a buyer’s agent will become more apparent if they can help buyers uncover hidden or hard-to-find inventory.”

Impact on buyers and sellers

Buyers

The previous structure created the impression that a buyer’s agent worked “for free,” according to Roberts. The new rules taking effect Aug. 17 will bring about more transparency for buyers, but it could also cost more, he said. 

For one, if a buyer agrees to a 2.5% commission for an agent, the buyer will need to ensure he can cover that unless a matching concession from the seller is negotiated.

As a result, buyers could become “more selective about the properties they view or the agents they agree to work with depending on whether a seller is willing to cover some or all of the buyer’s agent fees,” Roberts said.

Sellers

The new changes, which reclassify a buyer’s agent’s compensation as a “concession” rather than a “commission,” “could result in more nuanced negotiations,” according to Roberts.

“Sellers may feel pressured to offer these concessions to attract buyers, especially in competitive markets,” he said. Though Roberts noted that the lack of a standardized way to display these concessions “could add layers of complexity, making it harder for buyers and their agents to quickly assess potential deals.” 

CNN analyst rips into Harris for taking ‘totally unworkable’ idea from Soviet Union, Venezuela

A liberal economic columnist criticized Vice President Kamala Harris’ proposal to control prices on food and groceries as “totally unworkable” and compared it to failed efforts by communist governments.

“It‘s not going to be markets, it‘s not going to be supply and demand that’s determining how much your grocery store charges you for milk or for eggs, it‘s going to be some bureaucrat in D.C., which seems like totally unworkable,” Catherine Rampell said on CNN on Friday.

Rampell, a columnist for the Washington Post and a CNN economics and political commentator, argued the plan was “bad” for various reasons, from practicality to effectiveness.

“Well, first of all, nobody can explain what price gouging means,” she said on CNN, saying the idea of “excessive” prices or profit margins is subjective and thus “very hard to pin down what this would actually mean.”

CNN ANCHOR SAYS HARRIS’ PRICE CONTROL PLAN ‘SOUNDS’ LIKE A ‘PLOY:’ ‘IS IT REALLY POLICY?’

She also blasted Democratic legislation that would “likely be the template” for Harris’ policy proposal as “especially bad.”

“If you look at the legislation that, as I mentioned, is already in the Senate, led by Senator Warren and Senator Bob Casey and a slew of others, the particular way that this is written, which is likely to be the template for any proposal that Harris would eventually embrace, is especially bad in that it just bans excessive prices, grossly excessive prices, grossly excessive profit margins, and says that the Federal Trade Commission can use any the metric it deems appropriate to decide what that — what that would mean,” she said, knocking the idea of “the FTC to be deciding, like, how much Kroger charges for eggs in Michigan.”

Furthermore, she argued, the plan would be “very bad for markets,” and could lead down the same failed path as socialist and communist governments.

HARRIS RIPS ECONOMIC HARDSHIPS THAT BEGAN DURING HER OWN ADMINISTRATION IN CAMPAIGN SPEECH

“We’ve seen this kind of thing tried in lots of other countries before; Venezuela, Argentina, the Soviet Union, et cetera. It leads to shortages, it leads to black markets, you know, plenty of uncertainty,” she said.

“And beyond that, the specific way this bill is written might actually increase prices because of some of the other language in it, things like requiring companies — public companies to disclose in their quarterly reports, their quarterly earnings reports, how they’re setting prices, which is a great way to help them collude, which normally we don’t want them to do,” she explained.

Rampell predicted any legislation that preserved Harris’ proposal to “at best do nothing, at worst cause a lot of harm.”

The Harris campaign did not immediately return a request for comment to Fox News Digital.

The Harris campaign first announced the federal price-fixing plan for corporations on Wednesday, saying Harris would authorize the Federal Trade Commission to impose “harsh penalties” on companies that set excessively high prices on food and groceries.

The news was treated skeptically by some left-leaning economists and financial experts, including Rampell, who wrote a scathing op-ed in the Post on Thursday.

“It’s hard to exaggerate how bad this policy is. It is, in all but name, a sweeping set of government-enforced price controls across every industry, not only food. Supply and demand would no longer determine prices or profit levels. Far-off Washington bureaucrats would. The FTC would be able to tell, say, a Kroger in Ohio the acceptable price it can charge for milk,” Rampell wrote.

Congressman uncovers ‘disturbing fact’ about would-be Trump assassin, FBI fires back

The FBI has fired back at claims by a GOP congressman that the agency released the body of Thomas Matthew Crooks for cremation just 10 days after his assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, last month.

The agency says it refutes allegations by Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., who says that when he requested to view Crooks’ body on Aug. 5, nobody on the ground in Butler knew it had been handed back to the suspect’s family on July 23. Higgins said the revelation “caused quite a stir and revealed a disturbing fact.”

Higgins is looking into the deadly July 13 incident as part of a bi-partisan congressional task force and made the claims in a stunning preliminary report which is highly critical of the FBI’s investigation into the matter. Higgins says the releasing of the body, and other claims of bad practice leveled at the FBI, amounts to an “obstruction to any following investigative effort.”

An FBI spokesperson tells Fox News Digital that any suggestion the agency is interfering with congressional efforts to look into the attempted assassination “is inaccurate and unfounded.”

The agency said that Crooks’ body was released to his family after coordination with the coroner’s office as well as state and local law enforcement partners “in keeping with normal procedures.”

Higgins, a former police captain, said that he visited Butler, Pennsylvania, earlier this month to investigate the crime scene and that when he asked to view Crooks’ body, he discovered that it “was gone.” 

BUTLER RESIDENTS STILL FURIOUS ABOUT TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT, SAY MORE THAN INCOMPETENCE TO BLAME

“My effort to examine Crooks’ body on Monday, August 5, caused quite a stir and revealed a disturbing fact . . . the FBI released the body for cremation 10 days after J13 [July 13],” Higgins writes in the report sent to task force chairperson Mike Kelly, R-Pa.

“Nobody knew this until Monday, August 5, including the County Coroner, law enforcement, Sheriff, etc,” Higgins writes. “Yes, Butler County Coroner technically had legal authority over the body, but I spoke with the Coroner, and he would have never released Crooks’ body to the family for cremation or burial without specific permission from the FBI.”

Higgins doubled down on his claims late Friday in a statement to Fox News Digital.

“My report states the precise truth, which is that the coroner released Crooks body to the family for cremation only after the FBI had specifically authorized the coroner to release Crooks’ body to the family for cremation.”

Furthermore, Higgins writes in his preliminary investigatory report that the coroner’s report and autopsy report are both “late,” and as of Aug. 5, they were a week late. 

Higgins says that the problem with him not being able to examine Crooks’ body is that he won’t know for sure if the coroner’s report and the autopsy report are accurate. 

“We will actually never know. Yes, we’ll get the reports and pictures, etc., but I will not ever be able to say with certainty that those reports and pictures are accurate according to my own examination of the body,” Higgins writes.

As well as the release of Crooks’ body, Higgins also panned the FBI for releasing the crime scene after three days, “much to everyone’s surprise.”

Higgins said they did this despite it being common knowledge that Congress would be investigating the shooting, which resulted in Trump being struck in the ear. Crooks killed highly regarded local firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was trying to shield his daughters from the gunfire, while two other victims suffered life-threatening injuries but are expected to make a full recovery.

LIFE-SIZE SCULPTURE OF ‘FIGHTING’ TRUMP MADE FROM NAILS UNVEILED AT ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT SITE

“They had to know that releasing the J13 crime scene would injure the immediate observations of any following investigation,” Higgins writes. 

Higgins also alleges that the FBI cleaned up biological evidence from the crime scene, which he says is “unheard of.” 

“Cops don’t do that, ever,” Higgins writes.

But the FBI also hit back against those claims, telling Fox News Digital that the crime scene was released to the property owners in phases and that “nothing was rushed and everything was documented as part of the investigation.”

The FBI also says it arranged for the cleaning of the location where Crooks died, which is in keeping with standard procedures.

“The FBI has been working closely with our law enforcement partners to conduct a thorough investigation into the shooting, and we have followed normal procedures in the handling of the crime scene and evidence,” the FBI says in the statement. “The FBI continues its painstaking work on the investigation to develop as complete a picture as possible of what led to the shooting, and we remain committed to maximum transparency as we continue to brief Congress and publish information for the public regarding the ongoing investigation.”

The preliminary report also sheds more light on the shocking event that could have plunged the nation into a political crisis.

Higgins heaps praise on local law enforcement, particularly the Butler County Emergency Services Unit (ESU), who he says were professionally deployed and commanded.

However, one concerning point highlighted was that the Secret Service did not retrieve radios that had been set aside for them by Butler County’s tactical command, even though they had been reminded to do so by Butler County tactical command the day before and the morning of the shooting, Higgins says. 

He also discovered that before July 13, the Secret Service had never assigned a counter-sniper team to a former president, including Trump.

Higgins said Crooks fired off eight shots, and that all eight casings were recovered and are allegedly in proper possession of the FBI. He said that Crooks’ position on the roof of the gar building provided him with excellent concealment from the northern counter-sniper team due to the foliage and branches of two trees.

The ninth shot was fired by a Butler SWAT operator from the ground, about 100 yards away from the AGR building. The shot hit Crooks’ rifle stock and fragged his face and shoulder area from the stock breaking up. Higgins believes this shot damaged the buffer tube on Crooks’ rifle, meaning that the rifle would not fire after his eight shot.

“The SWAT operator who took this shot was a total badass; when he had sighted the shooter Crooks as a mostly obscured by foliage moving target on the AGR rooftop, he immediately left his assigned post and ran towards the threat, running to a clear shot position directly into the line of fire while Crooks was firing 8 rounds,” Higgins writes.

Higgins writes that Crooks “went down” from his firing position when shot 9 was fired, recovered after just a few seconds, and “popped back up.”

The tenth, and final shot, was fired by the southern Secret Service counter-sniper team, which entered the left mouth area and exited the right ear area.

Higgins also says that Crooks did not use a ladder to scale the roof and ruled out a possible second shooter being on top of the water tower. Videos circulating online show a dark figure or a shadow on the water tower, but Higgins says that ESU Commander Edward Lenz had cleared the tower with a drone that morning. 

He also says that a window below Crooks’ firing position on the roof of the AGR building did not open and never did open after videos online suggested a “muzzle flash” had come from it.

“The ‘muzzle flash’ from inside that window was either a digital fabrication or an iPhone light or iPhone camera flash reflected from the glass of the widow,” Higgins writes.

Higgins said he has yet to take a deep dive into how Crooks came to be a shooter or how he manufactured a remote trigger bomb.  

“I have not investigated the life and actions of Thomas Matthew Crooks outside of his actions on J13. But I will. We will. We’re just getting started, Mr. Chairman.”

Caitlin Clark rival Angel Reese shuts down reporter after record-breaking performance

Angel Reese had a big night after the WNBA returned from its Olympic Break on Thursday, but the Chicago Sky rookie was in no mood to talk about her accomplishments. 

The Sky suffered a 85-65 loss to the Phoenix Mercury on Thursday, the league’s first game since going on a break following the All-Star weekend. But despite the blowout loss, Reese walked away with another record-breaking performance. 

She recorded eight offensive rebounds to set a franchise record for the most in a single season with 120 in the final stretch of her rookie campaign.

Naturally, Reese was asked about breaking the previous record set by Sylvia Fowles in her post-game presser, but the former LSU star shut the reporter down before she could get her question out. 

“I know you care a lot more about results than records, but you set another record today – you set the . . . ” the reporter began. 

“I don’t wanna hear about no record,” she interrupted, shaking her head.

Reese posted 11 points and 15 rebounds in the loss to the Mercury, while Brittney Griner came back from her gold medal run in Paris and dropped 23 points, nine rebounds, six assists and five blocks. 

Griner became the first player in franchise history to record at least 20 points, five rebounds, five assists and five blocks in a game.

Reese’s frustrations come as the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever currently hold the final two spots in the WNBA’s eight-team playoff bracket.

Teen rodeo star killed in freak accident while demonstrating his ‘heart of gold’

A Texas teenager was critically injured and later died after he was dragged by a horse while tending to a sick calf in a freak accident Monday.  

“Somehow, the man’s leg got tangled, and the horse [dragged] him quite a distance in an open field,” the Lott Volunteer Fire Department told KWTX-TV

The Falls County Sheriff’s Department confirmed 18-year-old Ace Patton Ashford’s death, writing on Facebook, “We are deeply saddened by the loss of Ace Ashford. Our condolences go out to his family.”

“I love you forever ace Patton,” his girlfriend, Sydney Boatright, wrote on her Facebook along with a photo of the two of them. Ashford’s mother, Jamie Ashford, wrote on her Facebook, “I miss you so much Ace! I love you more!”

MAN AND HIS DOG ELECTROCUATED IN FREAK ACCIDENT DURING THUNDERSTORM

Ashford had just graduated from Rosebud-Lott High School in the spring and was preparing to attend Hill College on a rodeo scholarship. 

“Ace loved the cowboy way of life and was the true definition of a hard-working country boy,” his obituary said. “Ace loved to rodeo and was known as the ‘Header’ in Team Roping. Ace would dedicate innumerable hours to roping in order to reach his full potential.”

Ashford suffered head injuries and was airlifted to a hospital, where he died, according to KWTX. 

“Ace had a heart of gold and was loved by everyone he knew. Ace never met a stranger, and he had an old soul,” the obituary added. “He would stop at nothing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.”

SHOCKING VIDEO CAPTURES MOMENT BULL LEAPS OVER FENCE AT RODEO, INJURING 4 SPECTATORS

Fellow rodeo header Cody Snow called Ashford “about as pure as they get,” according to the Team Roping Journal.

The father of his high school rodeo partner told the Journal, “From the time I spent with him, he didn’t talk a lot, and he didn’t bother nobody. He’d have rather been out there doctoring yearlings than going to a roping sometimes. He was a good kid. It’s so hard to put into words how he was. At the high school rodeos, he’d be the kid who pushed everybody’s steers.”

Marcus Becerra, who is a rodeo flagger, told the Journal Ashford was “who you want your son to grow up to be. That’s why it hurt quite a bit. Everybody knows how good a kid he was, how cordial he was, how respectful he was. He was good with horses, he had manners and he was a real great kid.

“Flagging, you meet these kids when they’re young, and you get to know them. You see from the time they’re little, and you get to watch them win and you pull for them.”

‘Hanoi Jane’s dire message to climate activists about ‘only hope’ to beat ‘the orange man’

Actress Jane Fonda and other climate change activists gathered Friday to tout the Harris-Walz campaign as “a proud climate ticket.”

Climate Voters for Harris kicked off a virtual call Friday, two years since the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, to discuss “the historic accomplishments of the IRA. We’ll hear messaging guidance and the best ways for Climate Voters to get involved in the campaign.”

The call was hosted by Sweta Chakraborty, a behavioral scientist, who said there was “palpable” excitement about Harris being the Democratic nominee.

The call also included celebrity appearances from Fonda and TV personality Bill Nye.

IT’S BEEN TWO MISERABLE YEARS SINCE THE BIDEN-HARRIS INFLATION REDUCTION ACT. AND IT’S WORSE THAN YOU THINK

Fonda encouraged people to “vote with climate in their hearts,” claiming the Harris-Walz ticket is “our only hope.”

“Sitting it out, voting for a third-party candidate, this is voting for the orange man,” she told listeners on the call.

Other speakers included former Secretary of State John Kerry; Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass.; and Democratic Washington state Gov. James Inslee.

TRUMP FLIPS SCRIPT ON HARRIS’ ‘DUCK AND HIDE’ MEDIA STRATEGY WITH SECOND PRESS CONFERENCE IN A WEEK

Inslee said, “Kamala Harris really gets this” issue, sharing a story of being at the White House and the vice president telling him “how excited she was” about climate issues.

Jake Schwartz, interim Climate Voters director for the campaign, said, “Harris-Walz is a proud climate ticket.”

Some speakers took aim at the Trump-Vance ticket, claiming they “cater to polluters” and want to “roll back America’s freedoms.”

Harris is a longtime supporter of climate change, once claiming in a recently resurfaced clip that young people are not buying homes or having kids because of “climate anxiety.”
