    I will be interviewed by Chris Wallace on at 2:00 P.M. and 7:00 P.M. Enjoy!

    The Mayor of Tijuana, Mexico, just stated that “the City is ill-prepared to handle this many migrants, the backlog could last 6 months.” Likewise, the U.S. is ill-prepared for this invasion, and will not stand for it. They are causing crime and big problems in Mexico. Go home!

    So funny to see little Adam Schitt (D-CA) talking about the fact that Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker was not approved by the Senate, but not mentioning the fact that Bob Mueller (who is highly conflicted) was not approved by the Senate!

2…………> “Indiana Jones” Of Art: Priceless Mosaic

.

The Byzantine depiction of Saint Mark was stolen in the 1970s from Panayia-Kanakaria church, about 65 miles north-east of the Cypriot capital, Nicosia, just to be found by a man nicknamed “the Indiana Jones of the art world” who rose to fame recovering stolen artwork since 2015 when he found Hitler’s Horses – two Nazi statues that stood outside Hitler’s office.

Finding the 1,600-year-old piece in a flat in Monaco had felt very special, Dutchman Arthur Brand said, handing the work over to the Cypriot embassy in the Hague.

Global Thunder is a U.S. Strategic Command exercise designed to provide training opportunities to test and validate command, control and operational procedures. The training is based on a notional scenario developed to drive execution of USSTRATCOM and component forces’ ability to support the geographic combatant commands, deter adversaries and, if necessary, employ forces as directed by the U.S. president.

4…………> World Health Hazard: CA Fires

.

Forced to use smoke masks, eye drops, stay indoor, no walks in the parks is the new normal for Californians who had been trying to cope with smoke from wildfires choking the state, with a sharp increase in serious health problems almost inevitable for vulnerable residents as the disasters become more commonplace. Air quality monitor says Californian cities are now world’s most polluted, forcing residents wearing masks to avoid breathing smoke particles.

Northern city of Oakland was reported to have the worst air quality in the world, with San Francisco, Stockton, and Sacramento being the world’s three “most polluted cities”, forcing all schools to close.

5…………> Cardboard Grannies: Hong Kong

 

In the territory that has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, beneath the shining lights and glitzy high-rises of central Hong Kong, there is struggling aging population, some in their 90s, who makes living gathering cardboard and papers to earn a meager $5 a day to make ends meet.

The local government has been criticized for not providing a “social support net” for its elderly citizens, forcing  many “cardboard grannies” to deal with theft and discrimination on a daily basis.

According to a recent survey of 505 cardboard pickers by an advocacy group,  eight in every 10 are women aged 60 and over, with the oldest picker being 96 years old, with all respondents declaring that they started collecting waste for economic reasons to meet their basic needs.

 2…………> Uncle Don Meets Nephews Jerry & Gavin: California Fires

.

“Now is a time to pull together for the people of California,” Governor Brown tweeted as he and his successor Gavin Newsom, both Democrats who have sparred with Mr. Trump over the wildfires, immigration, sanctuary cities and host of other liberal policies, met their sworn enemy to help thousands of people who are fighting relentless fires, death, and homelessness.

The Camp Fire, in northern California has killed at least 71 people, with more than 1,000 people are reported to be missing, although officials say that figure could fluctuate. Speaking in the town of Paradise, Mr. Trump described the scene as “sad to see” and revisited his disputed claim poor forest management was to blame.

“We do have to do management maintenance, and we’ll be working also with environmental groups, I think everyone’s seen the light,” he said.

“I don’t think we’ll have this again to this extent,” he added. Experts have pointed to the weather, climate change and population shifts as more significant causes of the wildfires.

3…………> Africa’s Rambo: To Face Justice

.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) had issued an arrest warrant for Alfred Yekatom on November 11 “for his alleged criminal responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity.” He surrendered to the court by the authorities of the Central African Republic” to face charges of murder, torture and recruiting child soldiers in a relentless “vicious cycle of repeated attacks against civilians.” Yekatom is also wanted for deportation, enforced disappearance and mutilation of civilians.

4…………> Jews For Jesus: A Messianic Movement

.

As a Messianic Jew, Bob Mendelsohn has been wearing ‘Jews for Jesus’ slogan T-shirts since bell-bottoms were in fashion and because he views Jesus as the Messiah, not just for Christians, but for all people, including Jews. It’s a controversial belief and one that gained international attention a fortnight ago when US Vice-President Mike Pence invited a Messianic Jewish leader onstage during a rally for the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting victims. The Jewish Democratic Council of America condemned this decision, stating:

“So-called Messianic Jews are not a part of the Jewish community, and espouse views considered deeply offensive.”

Jesus was Jewish, but only Christians view him as the Messiah, and Hebrew scholars and philosophers argue Jesus is a ‘false messiah’ because he didn’t fulfill messianic prophecies, such as building the Third Temple in Israel and ushering in an era of peace.

    I can get Nancy Pelosi as many votes as she wants in order for her to be Speaker of the House. She deserves this victory, she has earned it – but there are those in her party who are trying to take it away. She will win!

2…………> Caught “Red Handed”: Bin Salman

.

Using its network of clandestine sources, CIA developed a theory that the Saudi crown prince “believed Khashoggi was a dangerous Islamist who was too sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood”, hence ordered the killing of journalist, a conclusion supported by a call was between crown prince advisers Mutreb and Saud al-Qahtani to inform him the operation was complete.

The bloody incident created a delicate contradiction for the US, with rumors that “Trump has told senior White House officials that he wants Mohammed to remain in power because Saudi Arabia helps to check Iran, which the administration considers its top security challenge in the Middle East, [and] that he does not want the controversy over Khashoggi’s death to impede oil production by the kingdom.”

3…………> Let’s Talk: Mr.Xi To Trump

.

U.S. President Donald Trump said that China recently sent a list of compromises to reach a trade agreement. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that further tariffs on Chinese goods may not be needed because “China wants to make a deal.”

“They sent a list of things that they’re willing to do, which was a large list,” he added.

Trump’s comments gave a boost to U.S. stocks with the Dow Jones finishing the day up more than 100 points, however, he remained committed to his longtime demand of “reciprocal trade” with China, which is responsible for a large part of the U.S.’s trade deficit. The U.S. posted a $376 billion deficit in goods with China last year, which is more than 66 percent of its total debt of $566 billion.

4…………> Paradise On Fire: California

.

The incident report provided by the utility company, Pacific Gas & Electric, shows that damage occurred at this time in a power line outside the small community of Pulga, an indication of the location of the spark that lit what became known as the Camp Fire.

The company warned a day earlier that it might turn off power in the area because of strong “Santa Ana” winds, but in the end, it decided not to do so “as weather conditions did not warrant this safety measure.”

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) reports that a wildfire has started outside Pulga, about three miles north-east of Paradise.

The staff at the “Adventist Health Feather River” Hospital in Paradise, about 25 miles from Pulga in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, were warned that the Camp Fire is getting close to town and that they should evacuate their patients.

5…………> Goats On A Tree: Morocco

.

Is this tree full of goats? The photo may look like it’s been edited, but this scene is quite common in southern Morocco, as they enjoy their craving for a tasty snack.

Their passion for the argan fruit has meant goats have learned to climb as high as (26 to 32.9 feet) up into the branches to reach it. Argan oil is a valuable export for Morocco. It’s sold in wealthier countries as pricey cosmetics and food. The oil generates more than $6.5 million (€5.7 million) per year for Morocco’s economy.
