Failed Policy...
The policy of the previous administration was Regime Change. With that, Chaos , killings, lawlessness, refugees, destruction, and militant rushing to the war, we torned, countries.
Hope the new administration focus differently. Just a thought.
Rockabye...
The words first appeared in print in Mother Goose's Melody (London, c. 1765), possibly published by John Newbery (1713–1767), and which was reprinted in Boston in 1785.[2] Rock-a-bye as a phrase was first recorded in 1805 in Benjamin Tabart's Songs for the Nursery, (London, 1805).[2][7]
Unknown...?
Confirming what most of us deduced, Europol and Frontex, Europe's border and coast guard agency, are finally admitting that their intelligence indicates coordinated efforts to recruit asylum seekers to carry out terrorist attacks.
"German authorities were aware of around 300 recorded attempts made by jihadists to recruit refugees" as of April 2016 while Merkel continued to relentlessly push her "open-border" policies.
Moreover, Europol notes that the power vacuum in Libya has resulted in the country becoming a "springboard" for "EU foreign terrorist fighters who, on returning to Europe, plan further terrorist attacks."
Finally, the report warns that recent success in hitting numerous targets across Europe will only encourage further attacks which are likely to become more violent and sophisticated over time.
It is not unknown any more? Just a thought.

Numero Uno...
Americans' trust and confidence in the mass media "to report the news fully, accurately and fairly" has dropped to its lowest level in Gallup polling history, with 32% saying they have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the media.
Over the history of the entire trend, Americans' trust and confidence hit its highest point in 1976, at 72%, with investigative journalism regarding Vietnam and the Watergate scandal.
After staying in the low to mid-50s through the late 1990s, Americans' trust in the media has fallen slowly and steadily.
Republicans who say they have trust in the media has plummeted to 14% from 32% a year ago. This is easily the lowest confidence among Republicans in 20 years. It is also possible that Republicans think less of the media as a result of Trump's sharp criticisms of the press.
As the communication expanded greatly since the Nineties, the Trust in the Media has deteriorated drastically. It is a Negative Correlation. Just a thought.
Being...*?
Italy's Emma Morano turned 117 on Tuesday, November 29. Born in 1899, she is the oldest person in the world and one of just a handful to have lived through three centuries.
A key to her longevity, she tells the New York Times, is being single. After a troubled marriage, Morano kicked her husband out in 1938, a time when separation was rare and divorce illegal."I didn't want to be dominated by anyone," Morano tells the Times. She never remarried despite having "plenty of suitors."
Of course, there's more to Morano's staying power than her independence. She also credits her longevity to genetics and to an unconventional diet.
"Emma has always eaten very few vegetables, very little fruit," her doctor tells AFP.
