    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.
