This seems to be the modus operandi of Trump's republicans.

Enacting bills to benefit the rich.
Setting up cryptos & donation drives to bilk the poor.
Tanking the markets to stress the everyday population so that the rich can snap up devalued assets on the cheap.

All at the expense of the poor.

Learn how to pronounce "Samhain" in time for the spooky season.

In Irish lore, Samhain is the night the veil between our world and the Otherworld is thinnest, allowing the Aos Si (the fae folk) to walk among us. So you'd better say their festival's name correctly.

🇮🇪

Why don't America stay encapsulated and isolated from the rest of the world these 4 years? Just pull out all the cables and stop interacting with everyone. Maybe that's the best for everyone.

It'll be difficult but I'm pretty sure everyone will survive nonetheless.

Boss: "Have you been productive working from home, Jane?"

Jane: "Why, certainly. I've even managed to squeeze in some fun exercises while I was cranking out this month's reports."

Watch famous Venezuelan Chef Juan Luis Martínez cook a flavour-packed corn in his own unique way.

His cooking combines the best of both Venezuelan and Peruvian cuisines, and it's helped place his restaurant in the Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants list.

Well, check if you still have a brain, Mr Speaker.

Apart from holding the world back, he's more interested in doing all he can to butter up his boss. He's apparently gathering world support to pressure the Nobel Committee into giving the Peace Prize to Trump next year.

That's not a Speaker's job.

Not unless 'sir' in palestinian language is pendejo to the rest of us.

They're enemies, wtf would they call him sir. And if they did, I'd be even more troubled by the implications there.

When it comes to the US or his administration, no one is allowed to criticise or interfere, but it's ok for him to freely endorse, influence and meddle in other countries' politics or affairs?

What a hypocritical prick.

An 8-year old girl, Viola Marie, sang a lilting version of Ave Maria to the accompaniment of a clarinet and piano.

Beautiful voice.

"That soul-piercing sound in the *Dune* soundtrack comes from the Duduk - a 1,600-year-old wooden flute from Armenia!

This small yet mighty instrument has a haunting, melancholic tone that, once blayed, feels like drifting across deserts and through time itself, pulling you into a fantasy world."

An extraordinary new policy from the Defense Department that equates basic reporting methods to criminal activity has prompted a revolt among Pentagon journalists that could leave the nation's largest agency and the world's largest military without a press corps.

'Without precedent': Virtually all news outlets reject restrictive Pentagon press policy

The policy would force news organizations to refrain from publishing material not approved by the military. Media lawyers say it violates the 1st Amendment.
