Trump immediately tweeted " SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!" http://politics.doseofnews.com/

What exactly does this mean? Is Mr. Trump heading to...
Supreme Court Of The United States?
US District Court for a trial?

The Tri-State of confusion as the entire NY, NJ and CT region went from sixties Springlike temperatures to Snowzilla overnight. And there are still fools who still question climate change.

We thought about it this morning and although Make Winter Great Again is a possibility, we don't kid around and it doesn’t make for a catchy name or a good hashtag. So it's #Snowzilla!

This one is a winter wonderland... A Godzilla-sized winter storm and we're snowed kidding.

Powerful Winter Storm Today... WINTER Storm Warning REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL TONITE

Snow accumulations: 10 to 14 inches.

BEYOND BORDERS

The arts community across the country has been contributing in meaningful ways to the discussion around immigration following the recent executive order restricting travel and immigration from the countries listed on Trump's travel ban.

As artists and Americans, we are all committed to freedom of expression and the open exchange of ideas which create an environment of mutual understanding and the capacity for empathy.

The Seattle Symphony is inspired to add a voice in the hopes that they can come together through music. They will perform a free concert that will also be simulcast in the 500-seat Illsley Ball Nordstrom Recital Hall, and standby tickets will be issued the night of the performance.

This concert will also be live-streamed on the Seattle Symphony website and via Facebook Live.

Internationally acclaimed author, NYU Professor and media critic, Dr. Jack G. Shaheen, who is a committed internationalist and a devoted humanist told CITY IMAGES during an exclusive interview, the president is fabricating fears and playing into his supporters.

He points to Fox programming like "24" which perpetuates the Arab terrorist message and was careful to point out that Islam and other religions promote peace, while some are unfortunately continuing to feed the fires of prejudice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Shaheen

Making America Great?

As we approach Valentines Day, the bromance between US President Donald J Trump is OK with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

TV host Bill O’Reilly challenged Trump about his claims to respect Putin because he is “a killer,” Trump answered: “There are a lot of killers. We’ve got a lot of killers. What do you think? Our country’s so innocent?”
