Gulf Arab states and Egypt have long resented Qatar's support for Islamists, especially the Egyptian-based groups, which is banned in Egypt.
"(Qatar) embraces multiple terrorist and sectarian groups aimed at disturbing stability in the region, including the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS and al-Qaeda, and promotes the message and schemes of these groups through their media constantly," Saudi state news agency SPA said.
On the other hand, the largest US base in the Middle East accommodating approx. 10 000 troops is located at the “Al Udeid” Air Base in Qatar, close to the capital Doha. The U.S.-Qatar military relationship is extremely important and surprisingly “free-of-charge”.
President of Egypt asked Pres.Trump for help when multiple church bombing occurred and here is the connection. Interests and conflicts of the region.

Maryland is one of several states with ambiguous topless laws. Some cities like Austin, Texas; Boulder, Colorado; and Madison, Wisconsin, have what's known as "topfreedom."
Some fear the family-friendly feel of Ocean City could be in jeopardy if toplessness becomes the norm.
The beach patrol for a Maryland resort town has been told not to bother women who go topless. Raising an argument that because men are allowed to go bare-chested so women should be allowed to go bare-chested. What's fair is fare.

Comey testified that he handed over his memos on the interactions he had with Trump to a "close friend" with the intention that they be shared widely.
"My judgment was I need to get [the memos] out into the public square," Comey said. "So I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memos with a reporter. I didn't do it myself for a variety of reasons, but I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel."
Comey did not appear to commit a crime by leaking his memos about his conversations with Trump, according to some legal experts. It would only be a crime if the information was classified, the experts told ABC News but, that said, his actions were improper and violated well-established norms.
Kasowitz [Trump personal lawyer] said, "Although Mr. Comey testified he only leaked the memos in response to a tweet, the public record reveals that the New York Times was quoting from these memos the day before the referenced tweet, which belies Mr. Comey’s excuse for this unauthorized disclosure of privileged information and appears to entirely retaliatory.”

The more entanglement with issues like Russia, investigations, elections, etc, the more delighted the politicians are. Democrats and Republicans have reasons to keep the status quo of Healthcare solutions, tax reforms, or affordable medications. Any changes will crash with the politicians' interests, fund raising, and ultimately their election. Just a thought.....
Do Tell...*
Online dating apps have been faulted for putting too much emphasis on looks alone. But finding a partner with long-term appeal, it appears that the best way for a man to attract a woman is through the gift of gab.
Researcher found men's prowess as storytellers is a big factor in their perceived status and attractiveness to the opposite sex.
For women, a man's storytelling ability factored greatly in their
assessment of whether he would be a more appealing long-term match. For
men, while storytelling ability in women seemed to show signs of greater
intelligence, it did not translate to them being viewed a more
attractive match.
So, while a man is seen as being both more powerful and attractive if he
can deliver a good yarn, a woman may not have the same luxury.
