1…………> “Red Hen”: “Rotten Egg”

President Trump has joined the millions of people who were outraged by a second-grade restaurant called “Red Hen” refusal to serve a “fine person” like Ms. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, White House Press secretary, and instead asked her to leave.

The Red Hen Restaurant should focus more on cleaning its filthy canopies, doors, and windows (badly needs a paint job) rather than refusing to serve a fine person like Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I always had a rule, if a restaurant is dirty on the outside, it is dirty on the inside!

End of the Twitter post by @realDonaldTrump 

The Yelp page of the Red Hen restaurant has become a political battleground after President Trump’s press secretary was kicked out of the eatery, and the number of posts has tripled since.

US government’s policy of separating migrant children from their parents at the Mexican border is believed to be the reason for the confrontation.

2…………> “Strong Men & Weak Women”: “Sultan” Erdogan

Turkish President Recep Tayyip “Sultan” Erdogan won over 53% of the electoral vote and is now granted extensive new executive powers following his sweeping victory, despite opposition cries that Parliament has been weakened, the post of prime minister abolished, and predictions that Turkey is now entering a dangerous period of “one-man rule”.

Mr. Erdogan, 64, has presided over a strong economy and built up a solid support base. But he has also a polarised opinion, cracking down on opponents and putting some 160,000 people in jail.

Congratulations have come in from around the world, though some Western leaders have been slow to react. Russian President Vladimir Putin talked of Mr. Erdogan’s “great political authority and mass support”.
What do the new powers mean?

In his victory speech on Monday morning, Mr. Erdogan vowed to bring in the new presidential system “rapidly”.

3…………> Enver Hoxha Bunker: Albania

Enver Hoxha was Albania’s ruler for four decades, one of the many forgotten Eastern Block dictators who has since sunk in the swamp of oppressors history, but his nuke-proof bunker is still alive, a silent memorial of iron Stalinist dictatorship, almost certainly build over the graves of political prisoners.


The 300 rooms top secret complex code-name “Facility 0774” is an affidavit of Hoxha’s communist paranoia,  spread across five subterranean levels, deep inside the foothills of “Mali I Dajti?t mountains to the east of the Albanian capital. It is a windowless, claustrophobic memento of the Cold War in one of its most overlooked corners.

Albania transitioned from one-party rule to parliamentary elections in 1991, but chaos and mayhem spread, followed by government collapsed that led to a loss of much of the country’s wealth. Some 2,000 people were killed and many military bases were looted in the resulting mayhem. Facility 0774 was one of them.

4…………> Bansky Murals: Paris

The Islamic Sheikdom of France’s tough anti-migrant policy has resulted in nearly 40 makeshift camps being razed in Paris in the last three years, a sign of the determination of President Grand Rabbinical Ayatollah Emmanuel Macron to shake the city image as a magnet for resettlement of a relentless wave of African and Middle Eastern pee drenched peddlers, including many Al Nusra and IS military age punks who seek asylum in EU under the umbrella of being “threatened” back home.


What’s the dialectic contradiction then? A mysterious British street artist seems to take aim at the French government’s crackdown on migrants and society’s capitalist values in a series of new and provocative murals in Paris. Judge it for yourself.

5…………> “Islamic Wasp Nest”: Trump In UK

 

President Trump will be protected by up to 10,000 police officers in the Islamic May’sdom of the UK from any imaginable threat, starting with a knife, bomb or vehicles threats by mule-headed, home-grown Islamic State jihadists, to simple “kafirs” hating “righteous” Muslim citizens of the formerly Great Britain, who are counting on their fingers the day when the green banner of Islam will proudly fly over at 10 Downing Street.

During his three-day visit to the UK, the Donald Trump will attend a dinner at Blenheim Palace, a meeting with the UK Prime Minister at Chequers, a reception with the Queen at Windsor Castle. Finally, Mr. Trump is expected to travel to his Turnberry golf course in Scotland before heading home.

2…………> Drug Gang Busted: Mississippi
Eleven individuals are facing federal drug charges in multiple indictments unsealed May 30 targeting a large, multi-state drug trafficking organization based in Mississippi, following a joint investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics.

According to court documents, the indictments resulted from an extensive Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) investigation dubbed Operation Highlife. The Mississippi-based drug trafficking organization is charged with distributing more than 40 kilograms of methamphetamine, more than 3 kilograms of cocaine and over 100 pounds of marijuana illegally smuggled into the U.S. from Mexico across numerous states to include Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee and California.

 Brandon Deshanta Miller, 32, of Dallas, Texas, and ten other co-conspirators are charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute fifty grams or more of methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute fifty grams or more of methamphetamine, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. If convicted, Miller and his cohorts face a maximum penalty of life in prison and up to  $30 million in fines.

3…………> President Trump’s Power: Article 2 US Constitution

US President Donald Trump’s lawyers have sent a secret 20-page letter to special counsel Robert Mueller, asserting that Mr. Trump cannot be forced to testify in the ongoing investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election because he has absolute authority over all federal investigations.

The existence of the letter is a bold assertion of presidential power and another front on which Mr. Trump’s lawyers have argued that the President cannot be subpoenaed in the special counsel’s probe.

Mr. Trump’s lawyers argue that a charge of illegal obstruction is incorrect because the Constitution empowers the President to, “if he wished, terminate the inquiry, or even exercise his power to pardon”.

A court battle is likely if Mr. Trump’s team argues that the President cannot be forced to answer questions or be charged with obstruction of justice.

Mr. Giuliani said last week that the special counsel probe may be an “entirely illegitimate investigation” and need to be curtailed because it was based on inappropriately obtained information from an informant and Mr. Comey’s memos.

4…………> South China Sea War: Impending Disaster?
US Defence Secretary James Mattis warned about the prospect of additional American steps against China if its “militarization” of the South China Sea keeps apace, saying Beijing was intimidating and coercing others in the region by putting weapons systems on manmade islands.

US President Donald Trump, backing the remarks by his Pentagon chief at an international security forum in Singapore, said on Twitter: “Very surprised that China would be doing this?”

Mr. Mattis said the Trump administration’s recent decision to disinvite China from a multinational naval exercise was an “initial response” to Beijing’s island activity.

He called the US action a “relatively small consequence”.

“I believe there are much larger consequences in the future,” he said.

China’s reliance on military muscle to achieve its goals “is not a way to make long-term collaboration the rule of the road in a region that’s important to China’s future,” Mr. Mattis said when asked to elaborate.

 “There are consequences that will continue to come home to roost, so to speak, with China, if they don’t find a way to work more collaboratively with all of the nations who have interests,” he said.  

 
China’s deployment of defensive facilities on its islands in the South China Sea is legitimate and necessary, a senior Chinese military official said here on Saturday.

The remarks were made by He Lei, vice president of the Academy of Military Science of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, in response to remarks on the South China Sea made by U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis at the on-going 17th Asia Security Summit, also known as the Shangri-la Dialogue, which opened here on Friday.

The South China Sea issue has always been a “hot topic” at the annual Shangri-la Dialogue in recent years, so much so that some have described it as a “golden routine subject,” said He, who is head of the Chinese delegation to the Dialogue.

China has indisputable sovereignty over the islands in the South China Sea and the adjacent waters, a fact verified by historical evidence and supported by international law, he said.
