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

 

  1. Retweeted

    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.

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…………> Aussie, US In Danger: China Bubble Burst 

 

The Chinese yuan has just suffered its steepest monthly decline on record, down more than 20% since the recent peak in late January, now clearly in a now in bear territory, having lost 1.5% against the US dollar last week and is down about 3% over the past two weeks.

A weaker Chinese currency would soften the blows of higher US tariffs. 

The US-China trade conflict will ratchet up another notch this week as rhetoric transitions to action and the US imposes a 25% tariff on a narrow $US34 billion worth of imports, the threat targeting another $540 billion worth of goods should China retaliate is hanging over the markets. 

“A statement from the PBOC late on Thursday pledging [unspecified] support for the economy was a further step and it may have helped the yuan and Shanghai equities recover a little [on Friday],” Capital Economics chief Asian economist Mark Williams said. 


“If falls resume next week, more forceful intervention is likely, including foreign exchange sales and equity purchases by the ‘national team'”.

2…………> Child Soldiers: Islamic Sheikdom Of France

 

“They recruited and trained orphans, and then you also have the wives of ISIS [Daesh] militants whose children have been indoctrinated with the group’s ideology and who have been taught to hate the US-led coalition and Europe,” said the French jihadist Jonathan Geffroy who was captured by the Free Syrian Army as he tried to flee the war-torn country with his wife and two children. 

He was quoted by Le Monde as saying that the terrorist group planned to use children in order “to carry out suicide missions” in Europe, having been in the know of “future external operations” promulgated “by children who grew up in the area and who, after adolescence, will be sent to the West, to Europe.” 


The child soldier plan is a brainchild of the Clain brothers, the highest-ranking French members of Daesh, who engineered the deadly November 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris. 

 

 

 

3…………> “I Better Shop Around”: Trump’s Nafta Deal

 

“NAFTA, I could sign it tomorrow, but I’m not happy with it. I want to make it fairer, okay? I want to wait until after the election. You’re going to have an election. I think it’ll be very interesting. I think it’s going to be fine,” President Trump said about the current political reality.

He wants to wait until after the midterm elections in November to sign a new North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Canada and Mexico.

Calling NAFTA as “the worst deal ever” during his campaign and presidency, he requested the agreement to be renegotiated in order to make it “fair” for his country, with the aim of reducing the U.S. trade deficit.

However, Trump imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports of the U.S. in March has strained relations between the three countries.

Canada responded to the U.S. on Friday by imposing $12.6 billion in retaliatory tariffs against American products that will take effect on Sunday.

5…………> Mexico vs The US: Border Wars 

 

Mexico’s richest man and entrepreneur Carlos Slim did not take President  Trump’s ” Make America Great” plan seriously when took office in Washington:

 “Even for building a wall you need Mexican workers,” he quipped when he heard the specifics of Mr.Trump border visions.

This careless attitude has vanished since, as President Trump has relentlessly humiliated the US’s southern neighbor not just during his campaign, but also during his first year in office.

“Even before his victory, Trump accused Mexico of sending criminals, rapists and drug dealers to the US, and he has stuck with this position,” Washington-based Mexican journalist Gregorio Meraz tells DW.

“His approval ratings went down after the separation of children and parents at the border,” Meraz says. “But he did it to put the Democrats under pressure so they would agree to tighter immigration laws and approve 25 billion dollars for the border wall.”

1…………> DPRK No Longer A Threat: Trump 

US President Donald Trump has declared North Korea no longer poses a nuclear threat, offering security guarantees and hinting of lifting sanctions as relations improve:

 

“Everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office,” Mr. Trump said as he arrived back in the United States after his historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. 

“There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea. Meeting with Kim Jong-un was an interesting and very positive experience. North Korea has great potential for the future!” 

Mr. Trump said before he took office, “people were assuming that we were going to War with North Korea,” and President Barack Obama said North Korea was the nation’s biggest problem, but that was no longer the case, and everyone can “sleep well tonight”.

2…………> What’s Next: Trump, Un & Co

3…………> The “Dawn Of Soros”: End Of NewWorldDisorder 

 

Hungarian-born hedge-fund billionaire “Uncle” George Soros, considered by many to be the 1st Secretary of the Planetary Commision, a globalist entity funded by his “Open Border Foundation” whose goal is one currency, no borders, one world without Constitutions, appear to have had a “Trump monkey wrench” thrown in its spokes as all the outrageous anti-American policies of our 1st Muslim President, Grand Ayatollah Barack Obama are being dismantled and sent to the junkyard of history.

 

This view is shared by Wall Street analyst Charles Ortelwho says that the times of “unregulated globalism” perched around since 1968 are running out of gas, due to staunch and irreversible Americanism being re-kindled by Mr. Trump and his base.

“European by birth, I suspect Soros fancies himself as a global citizen, rather than limiting himself to the (mere) US-EU plane of operations,” Ortel opined. “What I believe happened since 1988 is that Soros and other proponents of unregulated (or lightly regulated) globalism have, in effect, waging a ‘Thirty Years War’ against workers across the world, while promoting sweet-sounding projects and causes that offer potential to score riches, either building out new global businesses, or profiting from adversity.”

What Soros may miss is “the fact that technology, including social media, has reduced the relevance of all political parties, and now threatens, at last, to disrupt traditional governance practices”, necessitating an “American Perestroika” to get rid of  “the massive and expensive government bureaucracies [standing out] as places that must be reformed for many reasons.”

4…………> “Pink Gold Diggers”; Yucatan, MX

For thousands of years, Mayan people living in Yucatán have harvested the valuable commodity from the pink lagoons that abut the Gulf of Mexico, in today’s community of Xtampú, where a worker named Raúl May and more than 30 other men work to extract and sell the pink salt and at the same time recover an ancestral tradition. 

Many of them used to be fishermen, while others worked in construction, but for the past year they’ve put their nets and tools aside and dedicated themselves to a different pursuit: harvesting pink gold. 

Each bag costs just 10 pesos, a far cry from the 115 pesos (US $6) a 200-gram jar goes for in a supermarket. When making their purchase, visitors always ask the same question: why is the water pink?

5…………> Dark Web “Sweetheart”: Nabbed 

A French national who was serving at times as an administrator and senior moderator on one of the largest dark web criminal marketplaces pleaded guilty today to conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute controlled substances and conspiracy to launder money. 

Gal Vallerius, aka “Oxymonster,” 36, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Court Judge Robert N. Scola Jr. in the Southern District of Florida. According to the court record, including the agreed-upon factual proffer, beginning in or around November 2013 a criminal online marketplace known as Dream Market began operating on the Tor “dark web” network. Dream Market was designed to promote and facilitate the anonymous sale of illegal items. In time, the Dream Market website became one of the largest dark web criminal marketplaces. All of the items and services on Dream Market were offered for sale in exchange for Bitcoin and other peer-to-peer crypto-currencies. 

According to the agreed-upon factual proffer, Vallerius first participated in the conspiracy by becoming a vendor on Dream Market. As a vendor, he sold Oxycodone and Ritalin under the moniker “Oxymonster.” Shortly thereafter, Dream Market employed the defendant who acted at times as an administrator and senior moderator. In these positions, he played a role supporting the daily illicit transactions between buyers and vendors on Dream Market, such as the trafficking in narcotics, and the laundering of illicit proceeds using virtual currencies, Dream Market’s tumblers and the dark web. Vallerius is scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Scola on Sept. 25 at 8:30 a.m. 

The prosecution is a result of the ongoing efforts by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF), a partnership between federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. The OCDETF mission is to identify, investigate, and prosecute high-level members of drug trafficking enterprises, bringing together the combined expertise and unique abilities of federal, state, and local law enforcement.
