End Crimes Against Journalists

An increasing number of journalists have been targeted in 2017 because of the work they do. They have been subject to physical assault, imprisonment, court convictions, arbitrary detention, interrogation, stalking, verbal attacks, online threats, and seizure of equipment. In some cases, their family members have also been targeted.

The perpetrators of these attacks are almost never held accountable. In the overwhelming majority of cases, authorities have acted with impunity, and non-state actors have gone unpunished. Instead, reporters are the ones who are treated as criminals.

Who's the angry character that refuses to take responsibility for anything and will accuse anyone in order to pass the blame on to someone else but himself?

The fact is, everyone who's in a position of power is to blame when something goes wrong. The public blames politicians, but they are professional blame deflectors and the wheels go round and round.

Astronomical Houston

It was an astronomical climb from being the worst team in the majors in the Autumn of 2011, the club was tasked with fixing a broken organization without direction, nor plan and lacking answers. Now they are at the top of the heap. Baseball has been very good to them.

The Houston Astros lost over a hundred games before they got tired of losing and have now won the World Series of Baseball for the first time ever. The Houston @astros PARADE is on Friday http://abc13.co/2z5Wmf4

6 dead and multiple injuries in lower Manhattan as a pickup truck plows through a NYC bike path.

The suspect driving the vehicle collided with a school bus from Stuyvesant High School. There were some reports the man fired gunshots, but officials could not immediately confirm that.

Mueller is currently head of the Special Counsel investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. He is a no-nonsense, strait-laced attorney and investigator, as well as the nickname "Bobby Three Sticks," in reference to his name's numeric suffix.

Lawless USA?

Whoever decides to fight the law will learn that the law ultimately wins every time... The plot thickens.

Are President Trump's former 2016 campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his associate Rick Gates going to be the only ones indicted following a probe into Russian meddling in the US election?

US voters say that firing Mueller would constitute an abuse of power by Trump. But why would POTUS want to abuse his power?

Law vs Lie

Following an investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, there appears to be at least one person charged.

Any normal person's common knowledge is that laws supersede any lies. All statements used intentionally for the purpose of deception are being investigated. And there appear to be lots of explaining to do.
