In recent years, expectant parents have gone to extreme lengths to create splashy, Instagrammable moments to announce the sex of their child. Some of the celebrations, however, have ended in calamity: a 45,000-acre forest fire, a flaming car, a deadly explosion.

A plane crash could be added to that list, according to a preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board filed this week.

A crop-dusting plane that dumped hundreds of gallons of pink water over a field in Turkey, Texas, about 300 miles northwest of Dallas, crashed to the ground in early September. No major injuries were reported.

The pilot, Raj Horan, had been “conducting a gender reveal flight for a friend” when, after releasing about 350 gallons of water, the single-seat plane “got too slow” and stalled, records show.

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.
