Dumping children at the border is a big game of human trafficking. People paid so much money to send young kids with someone who is a distant relative or a trafficker who doesn't have the best interest of the child.

As long as the door is open or Half open to DACA and others,  the flooding of the borders will continue for young and old alike.

At least 21 journalists in six different countries were imprisoned on charges related to “fake news” in 2017, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
The rise has coincided with the recent introduction of legislation in several countries, Malaysia, Russia, Brazil, Singapore, and the Philippines, that specifically target the spread of so-called “fake news." 

Some experts believe the widespread use of the term in the United States has popularized the concept on a global scale, giving foreign governments convenient cover to quiet their critics. 
“The fake news rhetoric is having a very real impact on journalists around the world.

What are the News people are planning to do. Make it up, steer it, or fake it till you can't make it.

Barr tweeted multiple apologies to Obama administration adviser Valerie Jarrett after the comedian posted a tweet saying Jarrett was the product of a combination of "Planet of the Apes" and the Muslim Brotherhood. She quickly deleted the tweet but it drew widespread condemnation and the cancellation of her self-titled series reboot after one season.

Why did Rosanne tweeted about Jarrett?

Harvey Weinstein had a 10-year consensual sexual relationship with the woman he was recently arrested for raping, both before and after the alleged 2013 attack, according to his New York defense attorney Ben Brafman, who called the first degree rape charge "absurd."


Brafman made the revelation following a meeting he had in a New York judge's chambers with the Manhattan assistant district attorney prosecuting the case.
“ Pressure that is being brought to bear on the District Attorney’s Office - demanding an indictment or a prosecution of Mr. Weinstein proceed - is inappropriate pressure, it is unprecedented and it troubles me, and I wanted to make those matters known to the court.”
The Media is the one that has nothing else to write about thus back and forth on this one.

Morgan Freeman's lawyer has demanded a retraction and apology from CNN over its story accusing the actor of "unwanted touching" and sexual harassment.

The law firm of Irell & Manella LLP also says the Turner-owned network and its website demonstrated "malicious intent, falsehoods, slight-of-hand, an absence of editorial control, and journalistic malpractice" with this particular story.

"Sexual Harassments" is what the Media is living on nowadays, so everything is considered as such.

A man who fled the country 25 years ago while facing a prison sentence for attempted murder was arrested when he arrived at a New York City airport.
The Daily News reports Freddy Guerra was taken into custody at Kennedy Airport. He had been living in the Dominican Republic and working as a mechanic.
Authorities said Guerra was 18 when he and two friends shot the owner of Willie's Hardware and Building Supply Store in Queens on Sept. 16, 1992, stealing cash and spray paint cans. The owner, Lieb Zaban, survived being shot in the chin.
You can't hide any more.

 PHOTO: People from the Yes campaign react as the results of the votes begin to come in the Irish referendum on the 8th Amendment of the Irish Constitution at Dublin Castle, in Dublin, Ireland, May 26, 2018.
Voters in deeply Roman Catholic Ireland by a 2-to-1 margin support to repeal a 1983 constitutional ban on abortions, the official vote tally shows.
Official results of Friday's referendum showed that among 2.1 million votes cast, 1.4 million were in favor of repealing the Eighth Amendment to Ireland’s Constitution that says a mother and unborn child have an “equal right to life.” About 723,000 voters wanted to retain the ban.

Rolled Back...

The House voted to pass the biggest rollback of financial regulations since the global financial crisis. The margin was 258-159, with 33 Democrats supporting the legislation.  The Senate already passed the legislation with bipartisan support.
The bill makes good on Republican promises to cut red tape they say hurts businesses, but does not go nearly as far as some GOP lawmakers had hoped. It also appeases some Democrats who argue financial rules passed following the financial meltdown unnecessarily hamstrung small and mid-sized lenders.

The measure eases restrictions on all but the largest banks. It raises the threshold to $250 billion from $50 billion under which banks are deemed too important to the financial system to fail. Those institutions also would not have to undergo stress tests or submit so-called living wills, both safety valves designed to plan for financial disaster. 

Square...

The Square Deal was President Theodore Roosevelt's domestic program. In 1910: When I say that I am for the square deal, I mean not merely that I stand for fair play under the present rules of the game, but that I stand for having those rules changed so as to work for a more substantial equality of opportunity and of reward for equally good service.[1]

Roosevelt reflected three basic goals: conservation of natural resources, control of corporations, and consumer protection.[2] These three demands are often referred to as the "three C's" of Roosevelt's Square Deal.
Thus, it aimed at helping middle class citizens and involved attacking plutocracy and bad trusts while at the same time protecting business from the most extreme demands of organized labor. A progressive Republican, Roosevelt believed in government action to mitigate social evils, and as president he in 1908 denounced "the representatives of predatory wealth” as guilty of “all forms of iniquity from the oppression of wage workers to unfair and unwholesome methods of crushing competition, and to defrauding the public by stock-jobbing and the manipulation of securities.
During his second term, Roosevelt tried to extend his Square Deal further, but was blocked by conservative Republicans in Congress.

Michael Rotondo, [has no job ] the 30-year-old man ordered by a judge to leave his parents’ home in upstate New York, has tried to explain why he.
"I've been a father for the past few years, that's what I've been doing. I really haven't been pursuing a career." 
He had been "working here and there, doing things, but mostly being a father." That is despite the fact that he has lost visitation rights to meet with the child.
The judge’s decision came after Mark and Christina Rotondo sent their son several letters asking him to move out, get a job and take his broken-down Volkswagen with him. They offered him $1,100 in cash to help him find a place to stay.
I'm going no where.?!

North Korea has threatened to pull out of the meeting after comments by US National Security Adviser John Bolton.
The country reacted furiously when Mr Bolton suggested it would follow a "Libya model" of denuclearization.
Libya's former leader Muammar Gaddafi agreed with Western powers in 2003 to dismantle his program in return for the lifting of sanctions. Eight years later he was killed at the hands of Western-backed rebels.
North Korea is also angry at current US-South Korea military drills and has halted talks with the South in response.

Extortion...

Image result for sextortionThere's been a big rise in the number of victims of sextortion being reported to the National Crime Agency (NCA)..
Sextortion is when people, mainly men in their teens and twenties, are talked into letting themselves be filmed carrying out sex acts. Victims are secretly recorded and then blackmailed by  international criminal gang, most likely based in the Philippines. 
Don't panic, don't pay and call the police. Tens of thousands of people, mainly young men, are putting themselves at risk of sextortion.
Ultimately we'd advise people not to get naked on webcam.
