    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.

AB-52H Stratofortress takes off during exercise Global Thunder 19 at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., Nov. 4, 2018.

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.

1…………> The Fire Of Despair: Iran’s Resistance

 Some 450 people were arrested in the last three days rioting in Iran’s capital, Tehran, at least nine people have been killed in new clashes between Iran’s security forces and anti-government protesters, including six civilians who attacked a police station in the central city of Qahdarijan and tried to take weapons, and a member of Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard was also reportedly gunned down in the city of Najafabad, also located in Isfahan. 


The latest deaths come amid country-wide protests that started December 26 following a hike in food prices. At least 12 people were reportedly killed before the latest clashes, putting the total death toll at 21.

2…………> Prison Art: Guantanamo 

The “President’s Gallery” at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York organized a divisive exhibition, “Ode to the Sea: Art from Guantanamo” that presented a total of 36 works from eight prisoners at Guantanamo, including drawing and watercolor paintings, most notable being ‘Hands Holding Flowers through Bars’ (2016), by Muhammad al-Ansi.

Highlighting some of the untold stories of those who have been held at Guantanamo since the attacks on September 11, 2001, and providing a glimpse into a world that is otherwise hidden from the public eye, the exhibition offers one the most offending and naturally “overlooked” view of them all by the “Fake News” media: A blatant lack of remorse and mercy for the 3000 souls that perished in the horror of the crime against humanity attack in the name of Islam, and hundreds of thousands, if not millions who were irreversibly damaged by the “Post Traumatic Disorder” visions and nightmares for the rest of their lives.

3………….> Applied Global Warming: US Weather Misery

In a stunning weather reversal from an endless, scorching heat summer to a deadly sub-freezing ice and snow snap in the US that is reported to have caused several deaths, another icy blast is set to hit the northeast of the country. 

The National Weather Service issued wind-chill warnings as dangerously low temperatures were expected from eastern Montana across the Midwest into the Atlantic coast and the Northeast and down through the deep South, with 20 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit below normal were expected across the eastern half of the country.

3…………> An Ancient Proof Of Judaic Power: A Seal

A 2,700-year-old clay seal impression property of a biblical governor of Jerusalem was unearthed in excavations in the Western Wall plaza in Jerusalem’s Old City.
The artifact in the size of a coin, inscribed in an ancient Hebrew script as “belonging to the governor of the city”, depicts two standing men, wearing striped garments reaching down to their knees. 

 

4…………> The Shine Of Gold: Welsh Rush


Gold dust in the air? After remarks by President Trump indicated willingness to allow return of inflation following eight long years of zero rates by Obama’s “Secret Weapon” Janet Yellen, a redundant gold mine in the UK is reopening due to a claim by mineral firm discovery of new targets in the Dolgellau Gold Belt in North Wales.The mine based in Bontddu once produced gold used to make wedding rings for the British Royal Family but closed in 1998 due to diminishing reserves.“The fact that Welsh gold attracts a significant premium over spot rates, the historic connections of Welsh gold with the heritage of the United Kingdom, the potential for finding more gold in the vastly under-explored exploration ground — all these are factors which together make a strong case for investment,”  George Frangekides, Alba’s Executive Chairman said.

 

5…………> Down With “Deep State” DOJ: Jail Traitors

Clearly infuriated by his “Deep State” Justice Department where a host of officials including AG Sessions have openly refused to cooperate with Rep. David Nunes Congressional subpoenas on Clinton’s conspiracies and the “Fake News Trump Dossier”, President Trump renewed his attack on a top aide to 2016 election rival Hillary Clinton campaign, demanding that she should be jailed.

In an early-morning tweet he lashed out at former Clinton aide Huma Abedin, whose forwarded emails were released by the State Department on Friday and were determined to have contained a classified information and passwords directed to a private account. President Trump also said in his tweet that the Justice Department must act on “Comey and others,” and has repeatedly criticized Attorney General Jeff Sessions numerous times for recusing himself from supervising the Russia investigation, and claimed to have the right to direct government investigations himself.

Last week, Trump asserted in a New York Times interview that he had the “absolute right to do what I want to do with the Justice Department.”

Is someone down the hallway from AG Sessions office about to get fired? Perhaps Sessions himself?
