Wait till the story of this "gentleman" and his association comes out. This will reverse so many other leaks we heard before.

It may fit with other untold stories about what AG William Barr referred to "spying did occur.”

President Trump has announced sanctions will be lifted on Turkey as a ceasefire remains in place in northern Syria, where Turkey invaded earlier this month.    

Turkey reached an agreement with Russia that would force Syrian Kurdish forces to retreat from a wide swath of the Syrian-Turkish border.

He is Professor Emeritus of International Relations and History at Boston University. “I think in any discussion of our wars, ongoing wars, it’s important to set them in some broader historical context,” Bachevich says. 

“To a very great extent, we created the problems that exist today through our reckless use of American military power.”

In a new outline, Warren's campaign said her single-payer health care plan would cost the country "just under" $52 trillion over a decade, which includes $20.5 trillion in new federal spending. 

It estimates the proposal would cost just less than the estimated $52 trillion in spending for the current system over 10 years.

For employers offering health care under a collective bargaining agreement, Warren's plan would allow them to cut their Medicare contribution "if they pass along savings to workers in the form of increased wages, pensions or other collectively-bargained benefits."

By the time taxing every one kicks in, nothing would be left for anything else.

Just a thought.

The French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced the country’s first migrant worker quota amid the Macron’s administration’s push for stricter immigration policies.

Philippe announced in a press conference that the plan would help France “take back control” over its expanding migrant population.

The new policy will grant visas according to the country’s employer and industry needs. It will also include measures to withhold medical care to newly arrived asylum seekers for up to three months. Just a thought.

Michael Bloomberg is preparing to enter the 2020 presidential race as a Democrat, the New York Times reported Thursday.

The former New York City mayor and billionaire is expected to file paperwork to declare himself a candidate in states with early filing deadlines this week, a Bloomberg spokesman told CNN. He has dispatched staffers to Alabama, one of the states with an early filing deadline, to collect signatures so that he can qualify for its primary, according to the Times.

The current candidates are really out of touch.

Makena...

 Independent panel of advisers to the Food and Drug Administration recommended last week that a medication to prevent preterm birth be taken off the market because, the advisers decided, the preponderance of evidence suggests it doesn't work. But some other leading OB-GYNs say they hope the FDA won't take the panel's advice this time.

The medication is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone, brand-named Makena.

The medication was fast-tracked through the FDA approval process, with one major caveat: Makena's manufacturer was required to do a larger follow-up study to confirm the drug's benefit.

The follow-up study, published in late October, found Makena "did not decrease recurrent preterm births.

Three people were shot by a man on a bicycle in the Bronx Sunday afternoon.

The male suspect was riding a bicycle around 4 p.m. on East 166 Street and College Avenue in Concourse Village when he opened fire, cops said.

A 17-year-old boy was shot in the left leg, a 26-year-old woman was shot in the right knee, and a bullet grazed the left arm of a 26-year-old man, cops added.

The suspect, dressed in a black hoodie, abandoned his bicycle and fled on foot, police said.

It wasn’t clear whether the three victims were the intended targets or whether any of those involved knew each other, cops said.

It use to be black Cadillac or dark  SUV and shots fired. Now someone on a bicycle. What a shame.
