Migrant Children Moved Under Cover of Darkness to a Texas Tent City
I’m sure these kids will grow up to be well adjusted flag loving Americans.
‘Until now, most undocumented children being held by federal immigration authorities had been housed in private foster homes or shelters, sleeping two or three to a room. They received formal schooling and regular visits with legal representatives assigned to their immigration cases.
But in the rows of sand-colored tents in Tornillo, Tex., children in groups of 20, separated by gender, sleep lined up in bunks. There is no school: The children are given workbooks that they have no obligation to complete. Access to legal services is limited.’
Trump administration sees a 7-degree rise in global temperatures by 2100
Trump administration sees a 7-degree rise in global temperatures by 2100

‘Last month, deep in a 500-page environmental impact statement, the Trump administration made a startling assumption: On its current course, the planet will warm a disastrous 7 degrees by the end of this century.
A rise of 7 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 4 degrees Celsius, compared with preindustrial levels would be catastrophic, according to scientists. Many coral reefs would dissolve in increasingly acidic oceans. Parts of Manhattan and Miami would be underwater without costly coastal defenses. Extreme heat waves would routinely smother large parts of the globe.’
BREAKING: Sen. John Cornyn: Republican leaders to allow up to a week for background investigation of Kavanaugh before final vote.
Senate Panel Approves Kavanaugh, but Flake Wants F.B.I. Investigation Before Final Vote
“I think it would be proper to delay the floor vote for up to but not more than one week in order to let the F.B.I. to do an investigation limited in time and scope to the current allegations that are there,” Flake said.
Kavanaugh faces crucial vote, White House eyes GOP senators
“The American Bar Association urged the Judiciary committee and the full Senate to slow down on the vote until the FBI has time to do a full background check on the assault claims”
There you have it. President Trump wants no investigations, no additional questions, & likes the fact that his new judge lost his temper, lashed out, and cried during his job interview.
Law & Order I’m sure.
The Secretary Of Homeland Security Said There Was “No Policy Of Separating Families.” A Memo Proves There Was.
Remember when everyone said Trump was separating families as a policy, putting kids in camps, deporting their parents, creating orphans? He was.
‘BuzzFeed: DHS Secretary Said There Was “No Policy Of Separating Families.” A Memo Proves There Was — Nielsen maintained the admin did not enact a family separation policy, but a memo she signed stated that the “zero tolerance” policy would have that effect’
If Jho Low is China’s bargaining chip, what can Malaysia do?
This story has Trump implications – also Chris Christie is representing him in the USA…
‘The financier Low Taek Jho, commonly known as Jho Low, is suspected of involvement in the same scandal that has seen Malaysia’s former prime minister Najib Razak appear in court charged with more than 20 counts of money-laundering, breach of trust and corruption.’
Ukraine still hopes for deploying a UN-mandated peacekeeping force in Donbas
The Ukrainian President has spoken truth to power at the UN – following Trump’s embarrassing display, he goes hard against Russia and her policies.
‘Let us not forget what this war is about.
Ukraine made a sovereign decision to live its way and promote the Free World based on democratic values and rules.
Russia punishes Ukraine for this decision.
It kills. It ruins homes. It lies on industrial scale.
It pretends that Ukraine, as well as Georgia “attacked themselves”.
Do we know which neighbor of Russia will “attack itself” next?
Or will the world be “comfortably numb” in a hope that “the next one won’t be me”?
As we defend Ukraine’s land and our free choice, as we counter the resurging neo-imperialist power willing to divide the world anew – we defend the Free World.
The UN shall not be silent, when the values and principles rooted in its Charter and the entire body of international law are being violated by a veto country.
This is not just a challenge, but our chance to make the United Nations relevant and to make the motto of this Assembly session work.’
