HAPPY VALENTINE
Whether you're male or female, straight or gay... VALENTINES could be a special day.
Some say VALENTINES DAY is the day we're encouraged to make romantic gestures.
Whichever path you've chosen, you may consider saying:
DAM EVACUATION
Public safety officials are asking nearly two hundred thousands Northern California residents to evacuate out of fear an emergency spillway connected to the Oroville Dam could fail.
The warning, which had been previously ignored has a crumbling California dam which poses an imminent danger of potentially flooding suburbs in the surrounding area.

Handshakes and Hugs
President Donald Trump, fresh off patching up his ties with China, reassured Japan's leader that the US will defend them. These pronouncements is another shift toward a mainstream Trump stance on foreign policy toward Asia. His new committed to Japan security is another change from previous campaign rhetoric. http://a.msn.com/01/en-us/AAmPrUW?ocid=st
Trump welcomed Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe with a brotherly hug and warm words of admiration. He dropped previously hard-charging rhetoric during a summit. http://cnn.it/2lxMsuS
Comprehend... فهمیدن
‘Trust me, I'm like a smart person’ US President Donald J. Trump boasts he can 'comprehend very well, better than I think almost anybody' and here is the point. "The Point" https://youtu.be/hHgj1uQ5FH8
Comprehend through its Latin etymology, from comprehendere, cum: with + prehendere: to grab also has a spatial connotation, like encompass, by which one's thought surrounds a particular topic, like the hand an object, seeing all aspects and limits of a concept, but indeed, without maybe peeking inside like with true understanding.
Not Again?
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory until 12:00 PM on Sunday, 2/12. Freezing rain and an inch of snow are expected with up to a few hundredths of an inch of ice.
New Yorkers are advised to exercise caution when driving, walking, or biking, and allow for additional travel time as roads may be slippery. Residents should also check on their neighbors, friends, and relatives, especially the elderly and those with disabilities, and access and functional needs during periods of extreme cold.

SUCCESSFUL?

For someone who claims to have never been wrong about anything and to always be a winner, actions speak louder than words and are showing the world otherwise.
Success does not come from practicing discrimination against a group of people, or lying and cheating others out of their hard work. It comes from hard work determination and sacrifice. Same meaning in any language... Successful, exitoso, 成功, ناجح ...etc.
3-0
Three strikes... 3-0. The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously refused to restore President Trump’s travel ban. The judges said the Trump administration had failed to justify putting the order into effect while the courts consider its lawfulness.

It's Up To You, New York
Start spreading the news, he may be going away... A Democrat N.Y. Congressman has shown what New Yorkers are made of as he introduced a resolution of inquiry forcing a GOP Vote on Trump’s conflicts, ethics violations, and most of all his ties to Russia.
DO YOUR JOB
The natives are finally getting restless and fed up with all the bull in Washington, DC.
A US Congressman got an earful from his own constituents when he returned home. US Representative Jason Chaffetz was told to do his job by a chanting mob of voters.
