LEADERS AT FOX STARTING TO SOUR TOWARD O'REILLY

"[T]he woman, who is African-American, worked in a clerical position at the network but did not work directly for Mr. O'Reilly. The woman reported that in 2008, Mr. O'Reilly would stop by her desk and grunt like a 'wild boar'; he would also stand back to allow her to exit the elevator first and then say, 'Looking good, girl,' ... [and] leered at the woman's cleavage and legs and called her 'hot chocolate' ..."

AIRCRAFT CARRIER WASN'T HEADING WHERE U.S. SAID

"'We're sending an armada,' Mr. Trump said to Fox News last Tuesday ...

The problem was that the carrier, the Carl Vinson, and the three other warships in its strike force were that very moment sailing in the opposite direction, to take part in joint exercises with the Australian Navy in the Indian Ocean, 3,500 miles southwest of the Korean Peninsula."

"'Sprinkling' is a spring rite in the heart of Transylvania, in central Romania, when women are watered like flowers."

נּזּﬣ = to spurt, spatter or sprinkle.

The Torah describes this purification ritual in Numbers 8:6-7:

"Take the Levites (priests) from among the Israelites and cleanse them. This is what you shall do to them to cleanse them: sprinkle on them water of purification ..."

All the non-Levite children must have been so jealous! A little sprinkle of water must have felt amazing in that desert heat!

"Anyone who has been paying the slightest attention knows by now that this president and this White House intend to play by their own set of rules -- rules that in some cases come close to breaking the law and, at the very least, defy traditions of conduct and transparency Americans have come to expect from their public servants."

"We urgently need to find a peaceful solution to the North Korean conundrum, and no solution would be effective without China's tacit approval.

Here's my proposal: China would offer guaranteed protection of a denuclearized North Korea, with an agreed-upon long-term plan of economic support. The United States would recognize China's pre-eminent role in the region by committing to a gradual removal of its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense missile system from South Korea and equally gradual plan to reduce its military presence in the demilitarized zone and elsewhere in South Korea.

China's concerns about any future threat from the United States would be addressed, and the United States would be relieved of a growing concern presented by the current North Korean regime. -- Sylva Apelian, New York"

I posted something similar to this a few days ago, but with the idea that regime change would be both necessary and desirable.
