Hope...

The longtime Trump aide is replacing Anthony Scaramucci, who was fired.  Ms Hope Hicks has served as President Donald Trump's strategic communications director and campaign press secretary.

Hicks began working for public relations firm Hiltzik Strategies in 2012, working for its client Ivanka Trump.   In August 2014 she joined the Trump Organization full-time, worked for Ivanka Trump, helping expand her fashion label and modeling for her online store.^[16]

  "Mr. Trump looked at me and said, 'I'm thinking about running for president, and you're going to be my press secretary.'"^[16] Until that time, she had never worked in politics, nor volunteered on a campaign.^[19]  This lady has the right qualification.  Just a thought.

Never forget...

Watered...

The U.S. has watered down a proposal to punish North Korea for its sixth and most powerful nuclear test, omitting an oil embargo and a freeze of Kim Jong Un’s assets that may have hindered passage by the United Nations Security Council.

The U.S., U.K. and France are united on the latest proposal, but not Russia and China , the other veto-holding members of the United Nations Security Council.

Western Countries have strong sanctions on Russia and China is not comfortable with what's happening.

All in all, make sure that the new sanctions would not endanger the poor people suffering in North Korea.

Training...

Hype...

Some wondered whether it is overly sensational spectacles, where correspondents are struggling to deliver information standing, setting, ducking... in the rain.

The Media starts reporting “Floridians are in a panic”. “Gas shortages are everywhere”. “Food is flying off the shelves”.

Any seasoned Floridian knows there are basic items needed to survive after the storm, while waiting for everything to be made right, roads, power lines, etc..

But the media is more concerned with who and how many watching the news. The sensational, quick talk, focus on certain parts of the reporting cause widespread panic than actually providing helpful information.

No wonder some would say I am not going anywhere during the storm. Seen it before.

Anxiety...

History...

The End...

 

Rush Limbaugh's claim that the media is manufacturing unwarranted panic about Hurricane Irma as part of a plot to hype climate change, boost ratings and increase advertising revenue from businesses that stand to make money off purchases of batteries and bottled water.

“I explained how severe weather events are opportunities for big ratings boosts ”. “I explained how severe weather events impact retailers and how some retailers are smart enough to coordinate advertising with television stations.”

The Media has 24 hours to fill. It is the End of the world.
The Storm moved from Category 5 to Category 2,  yet the drums of Doom's day continue.
No wonder those who wanted to ride the storm, really just don't trust the News.

Glow...

A Greek Orthodox church taking shape next to the World Trade Center memorial plaza will glow at night like a marble beacon when it opens sometime next year.

The St. Nicholas National Shrine, designed by renowned architect Santiago Calatrava, will replace a tiny church that was crushed by the trade center's south tower on Sept. 11, 2001. The new church will give Greek Orthodox believers a place to worship while also welcoming visitors of any faith who want to reflect on the lives lost in the terrorist attacks.

The church they are building hardly resembles other Calatrava projects such as the Oculus or the Milwaukee Art Museum with their distinctive ribbed wings.

Rather, the new St. Nicholas was inspired by two Byzantine shrines in Istanbul, the Hagia Sophia and the Church of the Holy Savior in Chora. Like those structures built in the fifth and sixth centuries, St. Nicholas will feature a central dome flanked by towers.

Tacos...

Two masked robbers entered a Taco restaurant and ordered three employees to lie on the floor. Police say three other employees pulled out handguns and opened fire, shooting one of the suspects six times. The other suspect ran off.

The Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) County Medical Examiner's Office said the man killed was 24-year-old De'Carlo Jackson.  Investigators say Jackson was found with a loaded gun in his hand. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

No one has been arrested. The employees who opened fire are said to be two 19-year-old men and a 23-year-old man. A Taco Bell spokeswoman told Cleveland.com the company is "shocked" by the shooting and is offering counseling to employees.
