Can Trump create Peace with Un?

It is much cheaper than the 2 Trillion Dollars we spent on the Iraq war, with 500,000 killed, and millions fled.

Skip the Media's comments, those who benefit from war, and those law makers who just want to be seen on TV with irresponsible comment.

Let us all hope for peace with North Korea. It is good for humanity.

Restitution...

A caller identified himself as "Al from Dadeville" phoned into a Birmingham, Alabama, radio talk show, saying he had poisoned the renowned oaks after Auburn won a contentious November 2010 football game against the University of Alabama. "Al" ended the call with "Roll Damn Tide," a battle cry for the University of Alabama.  
Harvey Updyke will serve at least six months of a three-year sentence for criminal damage to an agricultural facility, a felony, Lee County District Attorney Robbie Treese said in a statement.
He will be under five years of supervised probation, which includes a 7 p.m. curfew, a ban on attending any collegiate event and a ban on stepping on Auburn University property. Updyke, who is in his mid-60s, also will be assessed restitution.

Anthony Bourdain was ‘regularly suicidal’ after end of first marriage

Bourdain was a larger-than-life figure -- a gifted chef and storyteller who used his books and shows to explore culture, cuisine and the human condition. 

President Donald Trump extended his condolences to Bourdain's family. "I enjoyed his show," Trump said. "He was quite a character."
Former President Barack Obama recalled a meal he shared with Bourdain in Vietnam, an encounter captured in a "Parts Unknown" episode that year.
Bourdain's death came days after fashion designer Kate Spade died in a suicide at her Manhattan apartment.  Suicide is a growing problem in the United States.
The risk of suicide declines sharply when people call the national suicide hotline
1800-273-TALK.

It's one of the first questions consumers hear at the pharmacy counter, and many hand over their insurance cards in the hopes of getting a good price.

But sometimes using insurance can actually cost more -- and even prevent the pharmacist from saying so.
That's because of so-called gag rules, which bar pharmacists from telling patients when they could save by paying cash instead of using insurance. The rules -- set by companies that manage prescription plans -- are getting new scrutiny after President Donald Trump singled them out for criticism in his plan for lowering drug prices.
The gag rules are included in contracts between pharmacies and pharmacy benefit managers, companies that are hired to hold down prescription costs for insurers and employers. Some contracts limit the information pharmacists can share, including when a patient's co-pay exceeds a drug's cash price.

The U.S. has struck a deal with Chinese telecom giant ZTE to end crippling American sanctions. The deal includes a $1 billion penalty against ZTE and a U.S.-chosen compliance team.
"We are literally embedding a compliance department of our choosing into the company to monitor it going forward. They will pay for those people, but the people will report to the new chairman," Ross said in a "Squawk Box" interview. "This should serve as a very good deterrent for them and for other potential bad actors," he added.
ZTE's latest brush with U.S. regulators came after the company's business dealings with Iran and North Korea violated U.S. trade agreements. ZTE paid $1.19 billion in fines for those violations, but the dispute didn't end there. The Commerce Department then alleged that ZTE misled regulators and failed to discipline the employees responsible for the sanction breach.

Pardon...

The Media makes it look that pardon some is a bad thing. But this is the President power not the individual person, yet the Media wants to play its game. Just a thought.
