| 1…………> Keep Open: Coal, Nuke Plants |
| “President Donald J. Trump believes in total energy independence and dominance, and that keeping America’s energy grid and infrastructure strong and secure protects our national security, public safety, and economy from intentional attacks and natural disasters,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement Friday.“Unfortunately, impending retirements of fuel-secure power facilities are leading to a rapid depletion of a critical part of our Nation’s energy mix and impacting the resilience of our power grid.”
|
| “President Trump has directed Secretary of Energy Rick Perry to prepare immediate steps to stop the loss of these resources and looks forward to his recommendations,” Sanders added.
|
| The move would be unprecedented because the plants in question are at risk of closing down due to increased competition from abundant natural gas and renewable energy sources. The policy would coerce the owners of power grids across the nation to purchase electricity from coal and nuclear plants.

| 2…………> Indian Dust Storm: Casualties |
| “We have reports of 16 people dead due to the storm which started on Friday evening. The casualties are from various districts of the state. The Moradabad district reported the highest number of deaths — seven.” T.P. Gupta, an official at the State’s Relief Commissioner Office in Lucknow, told Anadolu Agency.
Mahesh Palawat, the head of private weather agency Skymet, told Anadolu News agency that the intensity of Friday’s dust storm was “severe” in some places. “In most places, there is no prediction of any similar dust storm in the days ahead,” he said. He said at least 12 people were also injured in the storm. Local media reported that most of the deaths in the state were due to houses collapsing and trees falling. |

| 3…………> Ptolemy IV Coin: In Aussie Rainforest |
| A bronze coin minted during the reign of Egypt’s Pharaon Ptolemy IV, who ruled the country between 221 and 204BC, was found more than two millennia later in 1912 Australia, buried a few inches underground in the depths of the far north Queensland rainforest by a man named Andrew Henderson, who had abandoned the gold mining fields of Victoria for a warmer climate.
“Henderson got a block of land in the scrub and he became a settler,” far north Queensland historian, Dave Phoenix said. “One day in 1912 he was building a fence line and as he was digging a hole for a fence post his shovel hit something metallic. “He reached into the hole and pulled out this coin.” Henderson paid little attention to the coin at the time; when he returned home, he put it in a drawer and all but forgot about it for the next 40 years.
|
| Among the most probable of theories is that the coin dropped out of a miner’s pack as they walked along the Aboriginal trail on the way to the Hodgkinson goldfields west of Cairns. |

| 4…………> US Skid Row: UN Report |
| UN report on the persistence of extreme poverty in the US concludes that is a political choice made by people in power, and also criticizes the government policy for making healthcare a privilege rather than a right. Poverty in the United States is widespread and worsening under President Donald Trump, according to a human rights investigator for the United Nations.
Philip Alston, the UN special investigator on extreme poverty, said the Trump administration appears determined to pull the social safety net out from under millions of poor people while rewarding the wealthy with tax cuts. In his report, Alston called on the US to address the underlying problems facing the underclass rather than “punishing and imprisoning the poor.”
|
| He noted that welfare benefits are being slashed and access to health care has become more difficult during Trump’s presidency. This, in conjunction with “financial windfalls” for the super-rich and big corporations, has significantly widened the inequality gap.
Since President Lyndon Johnson’s war on poverty in the 1960s US social policy towards the poor has been “neglectful at best,” Alston said. “But the policies pursued over the past year seem deliberately designed to remove basic protections from the poorest, punish those who are not in employment and make even basic health care into a privilege to be earned rather than a right of citizenship,” he said. In a country of about 325 million people, nearly 41 million live in poverty — including 18.5 million in extreme poverty. Alston said children accounted for 33 percent of the poor. No other industrialized country had so many children mired in poverty, he said. The data used to compile the UN report only covers the period through 2016, so there are no comparative figures that could measure poverty levels before and after Trump took office in January. |

| 5…………> ISIS Aficionado: Miami |
| Vicente Adolfo Solano, 53, a citizen of Honduras residing in Miami, was sentenced to 210 months in prison, to be followed by a lifetime of supervised release, for attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), a designated foreign terrorist organization, after planning to detonate an explosive device at a Miami mall. Solano pleaded guilty on March 14.
|
| Solano told an individual, who later became a Confidential Human Source (CHS) for the government, that he was upset with the United States and wanted to conduct an attack in Miami. Later, Solano told this CHS that he wanted to join ISIS.
Solano planned to place and detonate an explosive device in a crowded area of a popular Miami mall. Solano discussed his plot with the CHS and two undercover FBI employees. According to the complaint, Solano provided three videos to the CHS, in which Solano makes pro-ISIS statements and expresses anti-U.S. sentiments. Just prior to his arrest, Solano took possession of what he believed was an explosive device, took steps to arm it, and walked toward a mall entrance in order to carry out his attack. Unbeknownst to Solano, the device was inert and did not pose a risk to the public. Solano was taken into custody prior to entering the Mall.

1…………> Police Brutality: Atlanta
Trevor King, 50, a former sergeant with the Atlanta Police Department was sentenced to five years in prison for using excessive force when he arrested a Walmart shopper named Tyrone Carnegay, then wrongfully accused him of shoplifting a tomato and for writing a false report about the incident in an effort to cover up his crime.
“The defendant abused his authority as a police sergeant when he used a baton to brutally assault an innocent man and wrote a false report to cover up his crime,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General John Gore for the Civil Rights Division. “This sentence reflects the Department’s commitment to prosecuting official misconduct cases and sends a strong message that any abuse of power will not be tolerated.”
According to evidence presented during King’s trial, on the evening of Oct. 13, 2014, the victim, Tyrone Carnegay, was grocery shopping at a downtown Atlanta Walmart store. After purchasing groceries, Carnegay returned to the produce aisle to weigh a tomato for which he believed he had been overcharged. Former Sergeant King saw Carnegay on the store’s security monitor weighing the tomato and then walking out of the store after placing the tomato back into a bag. Suspecting that Carnegay was stealing the tomato, King withdrew his asp baton and stopped Carnegay at the store’s exit door. Within seconds of the stop, King began to strike Carnegay on his legs with the metal baton. After several blows, Carnegay fell to the floor. As he lay on the floor, King delivered a final baton strike, causing a compound fracture to Carnegie’s leg. After the assault, King found a receipt in Carnegie’s pocket for the groceries he had purchased, including the tomato.
2…………> Crosser’s Family Separated: Sessions
“I have put in place a ‘zero tolerance’ policy for illegal entry on our Southwest border. If you cross this border unlawfully, then we will prosecute you. It’s that simple. If you are smuggling a child, then we will prosecute you and that child will be separated from you as required by law,” AG Jeff Sessions said while addressing a law enforcement conference in California.
The comments appear to strengthen the hardline immigration policy shift as President Trump continues his crackdown on the deluge of illegal border crossers, and have said that his department “will take up as many of those cases as humanly possible until we get to 100 percent” by sending 35 prosecutors to the Southwestern United States and moving 18 immigration judges to the border.

3…………> An American Hero: CPO Britt Slabinsky
The White House announced today that President Donald J. Trump will award the Medal of Honor to Master Chief Petty Officer (SEAL), Retired, Britt Slabinski for his heroic actions in March 2002 during the Battle of Takur Ghar while serving in Afghanistan.
Master Chief Slabinski will be awarded the Medal of Honor during a White House ceremony on May 24, 2018, for his actions while leading a team under heavy effective enemy fire in an attempt to rescue teammate Petty Officer First Class Neil Roberts during Operation ANACONDA in 2002. Master Chief Slabinski’s selfless actions throughout the 14-hour battle constituted gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty.
In the early morning of 4 March 2002, then-Senior Chief Slabinski led a reconnaissance team to its assigned area atop Takur Ghar, a 10,000-foot snow-covered mountain in Afghanistan. An enemy rocket-propelled grenade attack on the insertion helicopter caused Petty Officer Neil Roberts to fall onto the enemy-infested mountaintop below and forced the damaged helicopter to crash land in the valley below. Fully aware of the risks, a numerically superior and well-entrenched enemy force, and approaching daylight, without hesitation Senior Chief Slabinski made the selfless and heroic decision to lead the remainder of his element on an immediate and daring rescue back to the mountaintop. Senior Chief Slabinski’s team, despite the heavy incoming enemy fire, was subsequently successfully inserted on top of Takur Ghar. Senior Chief Slabinski, without regard for his own life, charged directly toward the enemy strongpoint. He and a teammate fearlessly assaulted and cleared one enemy bunker at close range. The enemy then unleashed a murderous hail of machine gun fire from a second hardened position twenty meters away. Senior Chief Slabinski exposed himself to enemy fire on three sides, then moved forward to silence the second position. With bullets piercing his clothing, he repeatedly charged into a deadly fire to personally engage the enemy bunker with direct rifle fire, hand grenades and a grenade launcher on the surrounding enemy positions. Facing mounting casualties and low on ammunition, the situation became untenable. Senior Chief Slabinski skillfully maneuvered his team across open terrain, directing them out of effective enemy fire over the mountainside.

After a sharp reversal following President Trump “mission accomplished” announcement in Syria, market opened on a gap, forcing short covering, triggering stop at 24050, leading to a loss of 50 points.
Current position long 24100, sell stop 24450 closed for a gain of 350 DIA points, position short at 24450, cover short closed at 24250 for a gain of 200 DIA points.
Current position long DIA at 24250, sell stop was closed at 24250 for a loss of 50 points, and a short position established at 24250, cover short 24200 for a gain of 50 DIA points.
A cash dispersal to AAPL shareowners in the amount of $100 billion dollars sparked a rally, new position long at 24200, stop 24250 for a gain of 50 dollars.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Stock market old timers have said that “you buy the rumor, and sell the news”, and that is exactly what is happening right now, with the news that President Trump is about to start a metal tariff war, slapping 25% surcharge on steel and 10% on aluminum. DIA resistance is in the 27,000 area, with supports at 24135, 21354 and 18900 level, US dollar in a downtrend, resistance at 1.003319 CHF, support at .92 and 0.9: Gold in an uptrend, watch break resistance of 1377 to be taken soon. The massive Fed balance sheet contraction will result in a $600 billion dollars being dumped on the credit markets each quarter, a leftover of the horrendous $4.3 trillion money printing of Obama’s septic tank that will surely exert a severe pressure on stocks and financial assets.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
We warned long ago that an organized attempt to remove President Trump from office is underway, and if this activity is not curtailed soon, the market will open on gap below 20,000 with next stop 17300 and 11800 support levels.
Stocks were up 3 to 24360, DJ futures -17, attempt to stage a covering short rally.
Gold down to 1311.6 and USD/CHF at 1.00 despite President Trump setting tariffs on Chinese products. Translation? As the dollar goes down, we have to wait and see if the new Fed Chair Jerome Powell will continue pressuring gold and the Eurasian block with it down below $1000/oz in an economic WW3. Watch sell stop at 24,250. We have to wait and see if new Fed chair Powell will attempt to destroy Eurasian block by sending gold prices below 1000, despite the fact both Russia and China have been buying their whole gold production in local gold backed currency instead of money printing machines. In other words, US has lost controls of the precious metals complex, and with Trump’s infrastructure and tax cut campaign the National debt will soon be at, or over 30 trillion dollars, since D.C. swamp alligators have no intention dropping their pet projects. Read “Ziban Must Die” for more details on the coming collision of Trump’s administration with “Deep State” operators funded by the billionaires’ supporters of the New World.

1…………> Muddy Waters: Aussie Neo-Nazis
Two Australians have been identified as joining ultra-right groups to fight in the war in Ukraine, with one of the men named Ethan Tilling, a former Neo-Nazi and trainee soldier in the Australian Army and the other was an airman with the Royal Australian Air Force, as both men took advantage of lack of rules prohibiting Australians fighting for Ukraine an endless, brutal and forgotten war.
Mr. Tilling, who was until recently a member of the Nazi group Right Wing Resistance, had spent the Australian spring in the bitter cold of Eastern Ukraine firing Kalashnikovs, grenade and rocket launchers at Russian-backed separatists.
Like many young Neo-Nazi die-hards attracted to the global ultranationalist movement, Mr. Tilling revered the Norse gods of war and grew up desperate to become a warrior himself, with a body plastered in tattoos celebrating his Scandinavian ancestors, and emblems of white supremacists.
“I got involved [in Nazism] firstly following Islamic terror in Australia and with the terror attacks overseas,” he said.
“I just became increasingly worried about the immigration into Australia and who was coming in, and whether or not we could guarantee those people wouldn’t harm us,” he said about his trek into the mad world of Neo-Nazis.
2…………>Crooked Attorney: Nevada
A Reno, Nevada attorney named Delmar Hardy was sentenced to 25 months in prison for filing false federal income tax returns for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010.
He is accused of falsifying his 2008 through 2010 returns by not reporting more than $400,000 in cash income his law practice received, and not reporting cash dated back to at least 1999, which resulted in a total tax loss of more than $250,000.
In addition to the term of imprisonment, U.S. District Court Judge Miranda M. Du ordered Hardy to serve one year of supervised release and to pay a fine in the amount of $10,000.

3…………> Fat Boy: Indonesia
A 12-year-old Indonesian boy named Arya Permana was named by the Indonesian World Records Museum (MURI), the country’s version of Guinness World Records as the heaviest boy on the record, weighing staggering 390 pounds.
Arya went through a gastric operation in an attempt to lose weight and now hits the scale at a spectacular 218 pounds, hoping to go down 120 pounds which about right for a young person of his age.
“My weight has dropped dramatically after the bariatric surgery. They made my stomach smaller, I lost my appetite, now even six spoons [of food] already makes me full. They ask me to eat more fruits and exercise regularly,” he confided to ABC News.
In 2013, WHO found 12% of Indonesian children were overweight.

There was no Collusion (it is a Hoax) and there is no Obstruction of Justice (that is a setup & trap). What there is is Negotiations going on with North Korea over Nuclear War, Negotiations going on with China over Trade Deficits, Negotiations on NAFTA, and much more. Witch Hunt!

Special Counsel Robert Mueller who has completely refused to go after Hillary Clinton and her criminal deeds has warned he could order Donald Trump to testify as part of a probe into alleged Russian election meddling
Prominent attorney Alan Dershowitz, who has expressed support for Mr. Trump in his legal battles, advised against the US president speaking to the special counsel.
“The strategy is to throw him softballs so that he will go on and on with his answers. Instead of sharp questions designed to elicit yes or no, they make him feel very comfortable and let him ramble,” he said.
