Bogus...

An Egyptian court has convicted a female TV presenter of inciting immorality for offering on-air advice to women on how to be single mothers, sentencing her to three years in prison.

The imprisonment of presenter was suspended pending her appeal and she remains free. Her bond was set by the court at 10,000 Egyptian pounds.

Doaa Salah's comments were made when she counselled women to enter bogus, for-cash marriages to get pregnant and then quickly divorce.  or to seek artificial insemination using anonymous donors  methods seen as highly objectionable or immoral by Egypt's mostly conservative society.

These are two different issues with different views and opinion about it.  Just a thought.  .

An excerpt from a new book by former interim Democratic National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile raises new concerns about the organization's influence in the 2016 presidential primaries.

The excerpt from Brazile’s new book, "Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns that put Donald Trump in the White House", was published in Politico magazine and potentially shows the depth of coordination between the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.

The book also explores whether the contest between the former secretary of state and Sen. Bernie Sanders was weighted against the Vermont lawmaker.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., had some choice words about the GOP's tax reform bill unveiled on today 11/2/2017.

In an interview on CNBC's "Closing Bell," Warren called the tax plan a "$2 trillion giveaway to giant corporations" and added that the biggest beneficiary would be Wells Fargo, the bank at the center of a massive fake-accounts scandal last year.

She also said beneficiaries include foreign investors and multinational companies.
"This gives real subsidies to move jobs overseas," she said, adding she would "do my best to stop it."

On the nomination of Jerome Powell to succeed Janet Yellen as the next Federal Reserve chairman, Warren said it's a good sign that he has aligned himself with Yellen. Still, she plans to reserve judgment until after the nomination hearing.
"I'm going to ask him some tough questions and hear what his answers are," she said.

Great opposition, but can you get together with the rest of you and do something positive to the people. Just yelling and show angry face doesn't put food on someone's table.

FILE - In this Dec. 12, 2012 file photo, policemen are silhouetted against the Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt. Scientists have found a previously undiscovered hidden chamber in Egypts Great Pyramid of Giza, the first such discovery in the structure si

Scientists say they have found a hidden chamber in Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza, which likely to spark a new surge of interest in the pharaohs.

The purpose of the space is unclear, and it's not yet known whether it was built with a function in mind or if it's merely a gap in the pyramid's architecture.  

The scientists made the discovery using cosmic-ray imaging, recording the behavior of subatomic particles called muons that penetrate the rock similar to X-rays, only much deeper.  
The pyramid is also known as Khufu's Pyramid for its builder, a 4th Dynasty pharaoh who reigned from 2509 to 2483 B.C. Visitors to the pyramid, on the outskirts of Cairo, can walk, hunched over, up a long tunnel to reach the Grand Gallery. The space announced by the scanning team does not appear to be connected to any known internal passages.
Scientists involved in the scanning called the find a "breakthrough" that highlighted the usefulness of modern particle physics in archaeology.
