The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 3.7 percent in September  the lowest level since December 1969  while hiring slowed.

Employers added just 134,000 jobs, the fewest in a year, the Labor Department said Friday. But that figure was likely lowered by Hurricane Florence.

Florence struck North and South Carolina in the middle of September and closed thousands of businesses. A category that includes restaurants, hotels and casinos lost jobs for the first time since last September, when Hurricane Harvey exerted a similar effect.

Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad have each won the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize for their work to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war in armed conflict. 

As a gynecologist, "Mukwege and his staff have treated thousands of patients who have fallen victim to such assaults. Most of the abuses have been committed in the context of a long-lasting civil war that has cost the lives of more than six million Congolese." 

Murad is a Yazidi woman from the northern Iraqi town of Sinjar, who was held as a sex slave by ISIS, she told CNN in an interview last year. In 2016, at age 23, she was made a UN goodwill ambassador for the dignity of survivors of human trafficking.

These "Civil Wars" cost Millions of death, in Africa, Iraq, Syria, and Libya. Some of these wars we may have started and fueled it with weapons, took sides, supported some, and in all cases, the minority Christians became Homeless, all under the umbrella of Democracy.

Pride in itself is not a bad thing and can be very useful for maintaining standards. However, it is named as one of the Seven Deadly Sins in recognition of its shadow side, where it mainly about feeling superior to other people.

Vice President Mike Pence fired off a strong warning to China saying in a fiery speech, “We will not be intimidated, and we will not stand down.” He criticized China on several fronts, portraying the country as the foremost threat to the U.S.,

In particular, he went after China’s growing military and militarization of islands in the South China Sea, its trade practices and intellectual property theft, its increasing control of the Chinese public and crackdown on religious groups at home, its pressure campaign against political opposition or criticism in academia and entertainment and its political interference in the U.S. and around the world.

I don't think today we are much different than yesterday, except for the Media that has to fill 24 hrs news, opinions, and drama to no news nor drama.

Today we have some in the street with microphones saying any thing as long as it is loud. And there are others who are concerned about Jobs, policies, immigration, cyberspace, Trade, border protection, and terrorism, who are not saying anything except in the voting booth.

Today we have more ways of communicating than any time ever. That is the difference.
