Femme...*

A femme fatale  is a stock character of a mysterious and seductive woman whose charms ensnare her lovers, often leading them into compromising, dangerous, and deadly situations. She is an archetype of literature and art. 

Her ability to entrance and hypnotize her victim with a spell was in the earliest stories seen as being literally supernatural; hence, the femme fatale is still having a power akin to an enchantress, seductress, vampire, witch, or demon, having power over men.
A femme fatale tries to achieve her hidden purpose by using feminine wiles such as beauty, charm, and sexual allure,  lies or coercion rather than charm. She may also make use of some subduing weapon.
She may also be, or imply that she is, a victim caught in a situation from which she cannot escape.

One of the most common traits includes promiscuity and the "rejection of motherhood," seen as "one of her most threatening qualities since by denying his immortality and his posterity it leads to the ultimate destruction of the male."[1] Femmes fatale are typically villainous, morally ambiguous, and always associated with a sense of mystification, and unease.

Ex-Fiance...

According to a spokesperson for the Chicago Police Department, the gunman was 32-year-old Juan Lopez, the ex-fiancĂ© of slain doctor Tamara O'Neal. 

Police said they had argued outside Mercy Hospital before the shooting. After shooting O'Neal, Lopez then killed a resident pharmacist and officer Samuel Jimenez during a shootout with police inside the hospital. Lopez was also killed although it's unclear if he shot himself or if he was killed by police.

Lopez and O'Neal had set a wedding date of Oct. 27, according to the former couple's gift registry at Bed, Bath & Beyond. The wedding date passed without the couple walking down the aisle, however.
The circumstances are unclear as to why the wedding was called off, or what drove him to gun down his former fiancĂ©e as she walked into the hospital, wearing her medical scrubs. O'Neal studied at the University of Illinois in Chicago before working in Mercy Hospital's emergency room.

Hillary Clinton has been re-inserting herself into the Trump story by systematically outlined what she calls Trump’s “assault on our democracy.”  

Her message has been interrupted by questions about the Clintons’ past. She said in a television interview that her husband’s affair with a White House intern in the 1990s did not constitute an abuse of power because Monica Lewinsky was “an adult.”
New York Times editorial board member Michelle Cottle blasted the former nominee in an op-ed urging her to keep quiet.

Swan...

Leda and the Swan fresco in Pompeii, 19 Nov 18
Archaeologists at Pompeii have found an erotic Roman fresco depicting Leda and the Swan - a Greek myth that has inspired artists for centuries. The latest find is believed to have decorated a bedroom in a wealthy home near the ancient city centre.
Pompeii was buried under volcanic ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in the 1st century AD.  
In the myth, the god Zeus turned into a swan and got with Leda, Queen of Sparta.That event had huge consequences, according to classical mythology: 
The swan's seduction of Leda was a potent subject for artists in Renaissance Italy in the 16th Century: it inspired paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Tintoretto, and many other artworks.
The original works by Leonardo and Michelangelo are missing, but copies are on display in galleries.
Leda and the Swan is also a classic poem by William Butler Yeats, a major figure in 20th-Century literature. 

Paranoia...

A plaque dedicated to Saddam Hussein mysteriously appeared on a London bench
A Saddam Hussein memorial plaque that appeared on an east London bench has been removed. It read: "In Loving Memory of Saddam Hussein" and it is not clear who left it there or what their intention was.
Wanstead resident Victoria Richards told the BBC it appeared on the bench on Sunday. Local residents saw it and "expressed their outrage" on a community Facebook page, she said.
Former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, born in April 1937, was hanged in 2006 for crimes against humanity. His rule was characterised by a mixture of brutality, megalomania and paranoia.  
How is it going in the past fifteen years?
