Back in the old days of broadcast, before cable or digital platforms like Netflix, and even before there were Bad Hombres, there were Bad Boys. And long before the TV program "COPS" was an American TV favorite program over the airwaves, I believe that it was me who conceived the original revolutionary broadcast idea.
Government lawmakers struck a deal to reopen after three days into a shutdown prompted by an impasse over immigration and border security. US House of Representatives leadership expects to vote on the funding bill to reopen government later on today.
After US Senate leaders reached the accord with a deal to reopen the Federal government.
The US Senate The Senate has approved a procedural motion on a three-week stopgap spending bill to fund the government through February 8, 2018, that would end the shutdown, which was now in its third day.
Could it be that a self-described #VSG very stable genius and great negotiator is more like an instigator and the builder is more like a destroyer? Where is the #MAGA TrumpPence endgame headed?
In US politics, a government shutdown happens when Congress and the President fail to pass appropriations legislation funding government operations and agencies. This is the first time under one-party rule.
Competitors, allies and creditor nations are pointing fingers and mocking our GOP controlled Whitehouse and Congress' inability to govern.
Everyone's been rejected at one time or another in an embarrassing manner, usually followed by an extremely humbling finger-wagging episode. Others call it finger-pointing, but unfortunately, we see it everywhere.
Women marching, teachers lecturing, friends and family members preaching, or politicians blaming. The latter is probably the most dangerous because they work for you and only you can replace them with your personal vote. The Twitter, Hashtag, TV, Radio and Internet Media has the whole world frustrated as hell, but our so-called leaders are not even close to being humbled.
It was an event a year ago that presaged the biggest story of 2017’s fourth quarter. In October 2016, Australia’s Brighann Cotton sold 88 bales of cotton from their Texas affiliate to a client in China. It wasn’t carried out in a routine way by obtaining letters of credit from the relevant
banks in each country. That process has become prohibitively complex for all but the largest corporations who have their financing denied more often than not. Recently established international banking regulations require the banks issuing those letters to carry more of the risk
The Women's March was a worldwide protest two years in a row, to advocate legislation and policies regarding human rights immigration reform healthcare for all and women's rights.
At some of the hundreds of Women's March events taking place across the world this weekend, attendees voiced their anger over the GOP's refusal to include immigrant protections in a spending bill to keep the US government running.

Who once said he was so rich, he would be self-funded, but that also turned out to be a questionable comment. So why aren't things going well for a certain someone who loves to exaggerate and is celebrating his one year anniversary?
Could it be because he claimed to be a dealmaker and chocked, or that he said a shutdown is ultimately the president's fault, or because he is constantly changing his position, or perhaps he has no strong beliefs?
Trump blamed Obama for the previous shutdown, said only presidents are to blame http://hill.cm/3LfeoQ4
Could this Whitehouse and Congressional act be walking back into the future? Who controls the White House and both chambers of Congress? What's really going on here?
In just one year, who's managed to shut down the most powerful government on earth? Could it be President Donald Trump and his Republican-controlled Congress, which failed to find the art of a deal on funding federal agencies, or taking the heat for the country’s deep political divisions? Where is that Bill of Love the deal maker proposed?
Where is the self-proclaimed greatest deal maker? US Senators failed to pass a procedural vote that would have averted a government shutdown. This means the federal government barrels into a shutdown after they block a short-term spending bill hook, line, and sinker.
This is by far the darkest political moment for @POTUS and @GOP since taking control, but expect propaganda machinery will try to spin it to a whiter shade so #Trump and #Republicans can reject responsibility.
To become a patriot and a real leader, journalist and poet José Martí devoted his life fighting for independence.
165 years ago this month, the Apostle of the Cuban Revolution was born in my birthplace of Habana and began to show a talent for writing and politics at an early age. He was and continues to be a real inspiration.
First exiled from Cuba in 1871, just like me, José Martí spent much of his life abroad. In 1895, he returned home to fight for independence and died on the battlefield.
