Saudi Arabia’s official attitude toward the Muslim Brotherhood today is that the group is a terrorist organization so many other countries.

For decades, the kingdom was competing for influence with the secular nationalist regimes of Egypt, Iraq, and Syria, Saudi Arabia welcomed to its soil Brotherhood members.
 After Brotherhood political parties won elections in Egypt and Tunisia, these governments came to understand the Brotherhood as an existential threat.

Thus began a campaign to re-brand the Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, ideologically indistinguishable from al-Qaida, a threat that must be rooted out with brutal discipline.  Tamara Cofman Wittes, Brookings,  Foreign PolicyCenter for Middle East Policy

Keep your expectations modest. Don’t get hung up on what the holidays are supposed to be like and how you’re supposed to feel. If you’re comparing your holidays to some abstract greeting card ideal, they’ll always come up short. So don’t worry about holiday spirit and take the holidays as they come.

Do something different. If the usual routine fill you with holiday dread rather than holiday joy, don’t surrender to it. Try something different.  Help in the church, donate your time...

Lean on your support system. If you’ve been depressed, you need a network of close friends and family to turn to when things get tough, s So during the holidays, take time to get together with your support team regularly or at least keep in touch by phone to keep yourself centered.

On January 6, 1941, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered a speech before Congress, articulating his vision for a postwar world founded on four basic human freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.

So remember those who don't have as much as you do. You have been lucky.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Authorities in California's Bay Area are closer to solving a 1973 cold case killing of a 21-year-old woman after genetic genealogy led investigators to an arrest. Santa Clara County Sheriff arrested 74-year-old John Arthur Getreu.
Perlov was last seen at her job in Palo Alto on the afternoon of Feb. 13, 1973. Her orange 1972 Chevrolet Nova was discovered later that day, parked at the gate of an old quarry in Los Altos Hills.
Getreu served prison time in Germany for raping and killing a 16-year-old girl in 1964 while his father, a sergeant for the U.S. Army, was stationed there. The victim was the daughter of an Army chaplain, according to the station.
Authorities submitted an unknown male DNA profile to Parabon NanoLabs, in Reston, Virginia. The service "produces a descriptive profile of the source of the human DNA sample," according to the company's website. You can't hide!

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., contemplates a run for the White House in 2020, CNBC has learned.
These early conversations with top-tier consultants in Iowa, are the latest signs Booker could be preparing to launch a campaign.
The Iowa Caucuses represent an early test for candidates on the road to their party's nomination for president. Clinton, the eventual Democratic nominee, edged out Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., by less than a percentage point in the 2016 caucuses.

But what is Corey's relationship with Big Pharma?

There aren't many automotive executives who can claim to have saved a company, let alone three. But now, Carlos Ghosn might also prove to be the man responsible for shattering the global alliance that transformed RenaultNissan and Mitsubishi into an industry powerhouse.
Ghosn was arrested in Japan accused for mishandling 44 Million dollars. (Not sure if it is true)

The carefully constructed alliance he built between the three automakers is at risk and will have far-reaching repercussions across the industry, auto executives and analysts say.
In 1996, Ghosn was recruited by Paris-based Renault and tasked with pulling together a turnaround plan for the struggling automaker. His strategy worked so well that Renault was back in the black in barely a year.

Khashoggi fled Saudi Arabia in September 2017 and went into self-imposed exile. He had been sharply critical of Saudi Arabia's crown prince and the country's king, Salman. He also opposed the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen.

In the Post, he criticized the Saudi Arabian-led blockade against Qatar, dispute with Lebanon,[33] Saudi Arabia's diplomatic dispute with Canada,[34] and the Kingdom's crackdown on dissent and media.[35] Khashoggi condemned Saudi Arabia's arrest of Loujain al-Hathloul, who was ranked third in the list of "Top 100 Most Powerful Arab Women 2015",  and several other women's rights advocates involved in the women to drive movement and the anti male-guardianship campaign.[30] 

According to Khashoggi, "Egypt has jailed 60,000 opposition members and is deserving of criticism as well."[34] Khashoggi wrote that despite Barack Obama's "declared support for democracy and change in the Arab world in the wake of the Arab Spring, then-President Barack Obama did not take a strong position and reject the coup against President-elect Mohamed Morsi. The coup, as we know, led to the military’s return to power in the largest Arab country along with tyranny, repression, corruption and mismanagement."[40] The military regime was installed in Egypt following the overthrow of Egypt's first democratically elected president, Mohamed Morsi in a military coup on 3 July 2013.[41] 

His support of Morsi said a lot about him and his alliances. The Media in US wouldn't talk about it.
