1…………> Today’s White House Tweets: President Trump

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

  2. 24 minutes ago

    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!

  3. 1 hour ago

    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.

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.

“At dawn, six buses of IS fighters and their relatives left the Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp and adjacent district of al-Tadamon,” said Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Observatory, which is monitoring the Syrian conflict via a network of activists in the country.

Rahman said the vehicles headed east of Syria’s vast desert, where IS still holds some territory. The number of people that left the Damascus enclave is not clear.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights noted that at least 250 pro-regime fighters and some 233 Islamic State militants aka “Obama Boys” had been killed during the month-long assault.

4………..> Call Me “Mr. Flexible”: President Trump 

 
 
“The two leaders will work closely and unwaveringly for the successful hosting of the North Korea-US summit set on June 12, including the upcoming South Korea-US summit,” a presidential spokesperson said that Mr. Trump remains confident his meeting with Kim Jong-un will go ahead in June after over 20 minutes conversation on the phone with South Korea’s President Moon, exchanging their views on North Korea’s recent reactions.

 

Further dampening the mood, a spokesman for North Korea’s Red Cross Society demanded that South Korea’s Government should send North Korean female restaurant workers back to their home “without delay” to show the will to improve the inter-Korean ties, the North’s Korea Central News agency said.

“It is also to pressure the Moon Government to agree to its demand so that South Korea can keep up the momentum for the North Korea-US summit meeting,” Mr. Lee said.

5…………> Painted Slims: Mumbai

Indian artist Rouble Nagi, 38, started visiting slums in her hometown to give children art classes — but she soon realized she could give a lot more.

 
“When I go to these areas to teach art, I thought, if I’m not bringing art to their lives, then what am I doing?” she said after having a vision of transforming the city’s waterfront slums into giant works of art, the very slums of Mumbai that are home to millions of people, but regarded as eyesores in India’s glitziest city.

Now, with hundreds of volunteers, her foundation has been painting and beautifying slums all over the city, clean up mountains of rubbish scattered along the beachfront villages, and even planning to install toilets and run hygiene campaigns.

2…………….> Battle of Gallipoli: Journey Of Immortality

On the 103rd anniversary of the Battle of Canakkale, the Turkish nation remembered the martyrs of Gallipoli, with president President Recep Tayyip Erdogan speaking at a ceremony held at the March 18 Stadium in the northwestern Turkish province of Canakkale to mark Canakkale Victory and Martyrs’ Day.

The Battle of Canakkale which took place in the province’s Gelibolu (Gallipoli) district in 1915 marked a turnaround in favour of the Turks against the Allied forces during the World War I.

“Today we know very well the meaning of this struggle against terrorist organizations and the forces behind them both inside and outside our borders,” Mr Erdogan said.

3………….. Victory At Afrin: Turkish Army

4…………> Russian Nerve Gas Attack: “Unthinkable”

Fresh from his 75% popular support re-election victory, Russian President Vladimir Putin said it is nonsense to think that Moscow would have poisoned former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, who are critically ill in a British hospital.

 

“As for the tragedy that you mentioned, I found out about it from the media. 

‘The first thing that entered my head was that if it had been a military-grade nerve agent, the people would have died on the spot,” Mr Putin told reporters.

 “Secondly, Russia does not have such [nerve] agents. We destroyed all our chemical weapons under the supervision of international organizations, and we did it first, unlike some of our partners who promised to do it, but unfortunately did not keep their promises. We are ready to cooperate, we said that straight away, we are ready to take part in the necessary investigations, but for that, there needs to be a desire from the other side, and we don’t see that yet,” Mr Putin continued.

“But we are not taking it off the agenda, joint efforts are possible. I think any sensible person would understand that it would be rubbish, drivel, nonsense, for Russia to embark on such an escapade on the eve of a presidential election. It’s just unthinkable,” he said, rejecting accusations from Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson that his country has been stockpiling it and investigating how such weapons could be used in assassinations.

 

5…………>Trump Attacks Mueller: What’s Next?

Still riding high on his victory of firing Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, the right-hand man of disgraced and previously fired FBI director James Comey, President Trump mounted a fresh attack on Special Counsel Robert Muller: 

Donald J. Trump 

‪@realDonaldTrump

Why does the Mueller team have 13 hardened Democrats, some big Crooked Hillary supporters, and Zero Republicans? Another Dem recently added…does anyone think this is fair? And yet, there is NO COLLUSION!

The President’s angry stance followed a call by his personal lawyer for Rod Rosenstein to “bring an end” to that investigation.

Donald J. Trump

‪@realDonaldTrump

The Fake News is beside themselves that McCabe was caught, called out and fired. How many hundreds of thousands of dollars were given to wife’s campaign by Crooked H friend, Terry M, who was also under investigation? How many lies? How many leaks? Comey knew it all, and much more!

Donald J. Trump

‪@realDonaldTrump

The Mueller probe should never have been started in that there was no collusion and there was no crime. It was based on fraudulent activities and a Fake Dossier paid for by Crooked Hillary and the DNC, and improperly used in FISA COURT for surveillance of my campaign. WITCH HUNT!
