      "body": "![04xp-newmexico-2--closer-jumbo-v2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdEqAyEvVkUWz8PEzWd5o9NfU14amgyYoigQVUSVWzFJK/04xp-newmexico-2--closer-jumbo-v2.jpg)\n\nThe officer was shot after he stopped a driver as part of a homeland security investigation, the police said. The driver was shot and killed after a chase on the highway.\nA white pickup truck that was driven by a man who the authorities said shot and killed a State Police officer was surrounded by police vehicles in Las Cruces, N.M., on Thursday. The driver of the truck was killed in a shootout in which a Las Cruces officer was shot in the arm.\nA driver who had been stopped on a New Mexico highway shot and killed a State Police officer on Thursday and then led officers on a roughly 40-mile chase before his pickup truck was rammed by the police and he was fatally shot, the authorities said.\n\nThe violence began when the State Police officer, Darian Jarrott, pulled over the driver of a white pickup truck as part of a homeland security investigation on Interstate 10 near Akela, about 40 miles west of Las Cruces, N.M., the police said.\n\nThe driver, Omar Felix Cueva, had been heading by himself from Deming, N.M., to Las Cruces to engage in a “drug buy,” the police said. Mr. Cueva fired at least one shot at Officer Jarrott, killing him, the police said. Mr. Cueva, who had been wearing a bulletproof vest, then drove off, heading east on the highway, according to Roxanne Garcia-McElmell, a spokeswoman for the Doña Ana County District Attorney’s Office.\n\nAfter another State Police officer found Mr. Cueva’s truck on the highway, Mr. Cueva pulled over near an exit and fired on officers, who returned fire, the State Police said. Officers chased Mr. Cueva farther east on Interstate 10, and placed tire-puncturing strips on the highway, the police said.\nWhen Mr. Cueva reached Las Cruces, pursued by officers from multiple agencies, a Las Cruces police officer sideswiped Mr. Cueva’s truck with his police cruiser, forcing the truck to stop, officials said. Mr. Cueva got out of his truck and fired multiple times at the officers, who fired back, striking Mr. Cueva at least once and killing him, the State Police said. A Las Cruces officer was shot in the arm during the exchange, according to Ms. Garcia-McElmell. He was treated at a hospital and released, she said.\nThe State Police chief, Robert Thornton, said that Officer Jarrott, 28, had begun his career as a transportation inspector with the New Mexico Department of Public Safety and had been certified as a law enforcement officer in 2014. In July 2015, he was sworn in as a New Mexico State Police officer. He was a father of three young children and was expecting a fourth child this year, Chief Thornton said.\n\n“It’s a huge loss to us,” Chief Thornton said at a news conference. “Officer Darian Jarrott went out there today and was serving his state, his community, the best way he knew how. And I love him for that.”\n\nChief Thornton said that Mr. Cueva, 39, had a criminal history that included charges of drug trafficking.\n\nA local television station, KVIA, posted a bystander’s video showing a police cruiser slamming into the side of a white pickup truck and pushing it on the highway until both vehicles finally come to a stop. As sirens wail, the driver gets out of the pickup and points what appears to be a gun at the cruiser, and a volley of shots can be heard. Officers with guns drawn then surround the driver, who is lying on the ground.\nInterstate 10 was closed after the shooting, and the authorities warned drivers to avoid the area.\nState Police Officer Darian Jarrott was shot and killed after he pulled over a driver on Interstate 10 as part of a homeland security investigation, police officials said.\nIt was the first fatal shooting of a New Mexico State Police officer in the line of duty since 1991, when Patrolman Glen Huber was killed while trying to serve a restraining order, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page, a nonprofit organization that honors fallen law enforcement officers. In 2001, Patrolman Lloyd Aragon was struck by a fleeing driver’s vehicle and killed while laying tire-puncturing spike strips on I-40 at the eastbound exit to Route 6 between Grants, N.M., and Albuquerque.\n\nGov. Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico said that flags in the state would be lowered to half-staff from Friday to Tuesday in honor of Officer Jarrott.\n\n“I am shocked, heartbroken and enraged by the loss of this public servant,” Ms. Grisham said. “I am praying for the local officer who was also shot and injured.”\n\nMs. Grisham said that while the authorities were investigating what had happened, “what we know right now is a New Mexico law enforcement officer has been killed in the line of duty and I am horrified as we grieve another life cut down, another family crushed by senseless violence in our state.”\n\n“Violent crime is a scourge on New Mexico, and the men and women who step up and put on the badge to protect our communities fight it with everything they’ve got every day,” she said.https://zenodo.org/communities/kunyits/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/sabrangsiam/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/gigitekans/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/basilaleosi/\nhttps://www.guest-articles.com/news/new-mexico-state-police-officer-is-shot-and-killed-officials-say-05-02-2021\nhttps://www.thewyco.com/news/new-mexico-state-police-officer-is-shot-and-killed-officials-say-05-02-2021\nhttps://gumroad.com/kerbholz45\nhttps://muckrack.com/bsym-gaui/bio\nhttps://kerbholz45.medium.com/new-mexico-state-police-officer-is-shot-and-killed-officials-say-4849ec1aba28\n\nThe shooting came one day after a Las Cruces police officer was injured while trying to arrest a man who had been stopped for speeding and driving erratically.\nThe man, Joel Orozco, refused to get out of his truck and drove off, dragging an officer who had reached inside the truck’s open door to try to stop Mr. Orozco from putting the truck into gear, the police said.\n\nAnother officer fired at least one shot as Mr. Orozco, 28, crossed a median and drove through a large utility pole, the police said. Mr. Orozco and two passengers then ran away before Mr. Orozco was arrested and charged with aggravated battery upon a peace officer and other charges, the police said.\n\nThe injured officer remained hospitalized on Thursday with a broken leg, the police said. A woman who was in Mr. Orozco’s truck was in critical condition.",

      "title": "Wonder Woman 1984's Dreamstone Magic Can Make Aquaman 2",
      "body": "![Wonder-Woman-1984-feature-1280x720.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmX6JwUPGMSst1muEuXLXjuhxrbcnvLrH9La3VmGMSuDR2/Wonder-Woman-1984-feature-1280x720.jpg)\n\nAquaman avoided ever saying the word magic, but now that Wonder Woman 1984 has engaged the idea, Aquaman 2 can as well, and benefits from it.\nThe use the Dreamstone in Wonder Woman 1984 offers Aquaman 2 an opportunity to fully engage with the idea of magic. Although the original Aquaman had items and powers that seemed magical in nature, such as a quest for a powerful trident, the only reference made to these fantastic feats were phrased in terms of \"advanced technology\" and \"evolution.\" This gave the impression of a tale of a magical quest that was afraid to mention magic, and so undercut the gravitas or importance of the main story line. A powerful trident makes little sense without some kind of context as to the ways in which it is powerful or important.\nAlthough Wonder Woman 1984's Dreamstone wishes create plot holes and raise questions, the overall thesis that magic is real and dangerous is presented to the audience as a fait accompli. As a consequence, the story smoothly progresses, because there is no need to offer a further explanation as to how incredible plot points occur, or why the stakes are as dire as they are. The acceptance of magic allows the plot to move forward, with appropriate levels of foreboding. In Aquaman, the audience is told that the trident of Atlan is important, and that reclaiming it is a task that will prove Arthur to be the true king, but without being willing to use the word 'magic', the story is forced to be deliberately vague about why this is the case. When presented with the quest to reclaim the trident, Aquaman rightly quips \"I've already got one of those.\"\nMagic in Wonder Woman 1984 is costly - there's a reason granting wishes hurts Maxwell Lord - which gives magic rules that coincide well with the presented cost of trying to use the power within Atlan's trident in Aquaman. Since Arthur is told in Aquaman that Atlantis fell after attempting to harness the power within Atlan's trident, the presented rules of magic would be consistent, and moving to a magic-based origin of this power would also help to explain why the same civilization that created this trident did not understand how it would interact within the same framework.\nTechnology not understanding technology within the world's context presents differently from technology not understanding magic. Giving the audience a framework as to how to understand that magic will better contextualize it within Aquaman 2, and allow for a better adventure narrative world construction. Not having to stumble over the conceit of advanced technology would allow for a smoother flow into the adventure, evening out the pacing, and a broader world for the hero to explore.\n\nhttps://zenodo.org/record/4501990#.YBwrH-gzb4Y\nhttps://zenodo.org/record/4502038#.YBwsPegzb4Y\nhttps://zenodo.org/record/4502128#.YBwtyOgzb4Y\nhttps://zenodo.org/record/4502217#.YBwvB-gzb4Y\nhttps://www.guest-articles.com/others/wonder-woman-1984s-dreamstone-magic-can-make-aquaman-2-04-02-2021\nhttps://www.thewyco.com/news/wonder-woman-1984s-dreamstone-magic-can-make-aquaman-2-04-02-2021\nhttps://gumroad.com/victorsiste36\nhttps://muckrack.com/wonder-woman-4/bio\nhttps://victorsiste36.medium.com/wonder-woman-1984s-dreamstone-magic-can-make-aquaman-2-37c20d28d953\n\nAquaman was very much an Arthurian style legend, and with the villain Black Manta returning in the sequel, serving as a stand in for the Arthurian 'Black Knight'-style returning nemesis, the parallels grow even more direct. An important part of the Arthurian tales is magical realism - the portrayal of magic as a part of a 'realistic' setting. As this is the case, Aquaman 2 can only stand to benefit from audience acceptance of a magical realism DCEU. Similarly, this will allow any future films which involve team-ups to have Aquaman or other Atlanteans sharing a special connection with teammates with magical backgrounds. Wonder Woman 1984 has opened the door for magic to be a mainstay in the DCEU, and Aquaman 2's story will walk taller for not having to duck to avoid mention of it.\nWonder Woman 1984 is finally in theaters, but is the film's run a failure so far? The sequel to Wonder Woman, Patty Jenkins' successful 2017 film, has been highly anticipated for quite some time. From the film's very first trailer release in late 2019 to the announcement of Chris Pine's return as the deceased Steve Trevor, there was a lot of hype surrounding Wonder Woman 1984 as fans geared up to see what was next in store for Gal Gadot’s Diana Prince. \n\nHowever, the film's road to theaters wasn't exactly what anyone would call smooth sailing. In the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Wonder Woman 1984, like so many films, was pushed back from its initial release date in June 2020, delayed to August and then October before Warner Bros. settled on a December 25 theatrical release. But, with the pandemic still a threat to health and safety, the executives at AT&T and WarnerMedia decided on a different approach. Wonder Woman 1984 would be released on HBO Max and in theaters on the very same day, setting the stage for a very unique kind of viewing experience for fans and a new and shocking trajectory for the film industry.\nHowever, the streaming release didn't prevent Wonder Woman 1984 from making money at the box office. Here is the breakdown of the film's box office run, whether it was a success or a failure, how it affected HBO Max's subscriber numbers, and what it means for the streamer moving forward. \nWonder Woman 1984 cost Warner Bros. over $200 million to produce. The film’s theatrical release put it in an odd situation, though it can be argued that nothing has been very normal with regards to theater openings due to the global pandemic. At the domestic box office, Wonder Woman 1984 has grossed $37.7 million since its release on December 25, 2020. That number is much higher internationally, with a current intake of $110.7 million, bringing its global numbers to $148.4 million overall. Given that the film was released a bit earlier in international markets, Wonder Woman 1984 had a bit of a head start and not a lot of competition considering the fact that most every movie release has been delayed. \n\nIn the UK, the film has grossed an estimated total of $1.15 million since its opening on December 18. The film’s release in European countries — including Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Ukraine, Iceland, Slovakia, Serbia and Montenegro — has earned it a whopping total of $5.9 million so far. Throughout Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, Wonder Wonder 1984 has tallied approximately $6.39 million since December 17. In Latin America, the film opened in just three countries (Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico), but grossed more than it did in Europe, earning around $10.5 million thus far. However, the sequel made the most in Australia and China, earning a total gross of $17.6 million and $25 million, respectively. \nBy typical industry standards, the box office numbers for Wonder Woman 1984 aren’t very spectacular or even exceptional. In a normal year, the numbers would be considered abysmal. However, the pandemic obviously thwarted what would have otherwise been a regular run for the sequel film, but theater closures and stay-at-home orders prevented that from happening. In short, it was (and still is) relatively unsafe to be in theaters. Plus, there are only about 35% of theaters open and operating in some capacity, and so the pandemic has greatly affected Wonder Woman 1984’s box office numbers. With all that in mind, the superhero sequel was never going to make what 2017’s Wonder Woman made in its first weekend of release, having grossed over $100 million back then.",

      "title": "WHO inspector caught on camera revealing coronavirus manipulation in Wuhan before pandemic",
      "body": "TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Video taken just days before the start of the coronavirus pandemic shows a current World Health Organization (WHO) inspector discuss the testing of modified coronaviruses on human cells and humanized mice in the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), just weeks before the first cases of COVID-19 were announced in the city of Wuhan itself.\n\nIn a video that was originally taken on Dec. 9, 2019, three weeks before the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission announced an outbreak of a new form of pneumonia, virologist Vincent Racaniello interviewed British zoologist and president of EcoHealth Alliance Peter Daszak about his work at the nonprofit to protect the world from the emergence of new diseases and predict pandemics. Since 2014, Daszak's organization has received millions of dollars of funding from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), which it has funneled to the WIV to carry out research on bat coronaviruses.\n\nIn the first phase of research, which took place from 2014 to 2019, Daszak coordinated with Shi Zhengli, (石正麗), also known as \"Bat Woman,\" at the WIV on investigating and cataloging bat coronaviruses across China. EcoHealth Alliance received US$3.7 million in funding from the NIH for this research and 10 percent was channeled to the WIV, reported NPR.\n\nThe second, more dangerous phase, which started in 2019, involved gain-of-function (GoF) research on coronaviruses and chimeras in humanized mice from the lab of Ralph S. Baric of the University of North Carolina. Funding for the program was withdrawn by the NIH under the Trump administration on April 27 amid the pandemic.\n\nAt the 28:10 mark of the podcast interview, Daszak states that researchers found that SARS likely originated from bats and then set out to find more SARS-related coronaviruses, eventually finding over 100. He observed that some coronaviruses can \"get into human cells in the lab,\" and others can cause SARS disease in \"humanized mouse models.\"\n\nHe ominously warned that such coronaviruses are \"untreatable with therapeutic monoclonals [antibodies] and you can’t vaccinate against them with a vaccine.\" Ironically, he claims that his team's goal was trying to find the next \"spillover event\" that could cause the next pandemic, mere weeks before cases of COVID-19 were beginning to be reported in Wuhan. \nWhen Racaniello asks what can be done to deal with coronavirus given that there is no vaccine or therapeutic for them, Daszak at the 29:54 mark appears to reveal that the goal of the GoF experiments was to develop a pan-coronavirus vaccine for many different types of coronaviruses.\n\nhttps://associatievoorcoaching.instructure.com/eportfolios/2906/Startpagina/HK_The_Soul_1080p\nhttps://frm.instructure.com/eportfolios/653/Pgina_inicial/TW_The_Soul__HD\nhttps://republicschools.instructure.com/eportfolios/5025/Home/__\nhttps://wellesleyk12.instructure.com/eportfolios/5488/Home/HD_SUB_TW_The_Soul_\nhttps://cosn.instructure.com/eportfolios/5136/Home/The_Soul__HD\nhttps://cole2.uconline.edu/eportfolios/68460/Home/__TW__HD2021\nhttps://santeeschools.instructure.com/eportfolios/2701/Home/__HK__HD2021\nhttps://illinois.instructure.com/eportfolios/15092/Home/The_Soul___4K\nhttps://sdhc.instructure.com/eportfolios/6014/Home/The_Soul___HD\nhttps://mi.instructure.com/eportfolios/21052/Home/_2021The_Soul1080p\nhttps://springfield.instructure.com/eportfolios/29500/Home/2021The_SoulBlueRay\nhttps://facinghistory.instructure.com/eportfolios/2715/Home/TW_2021HD___The_Soul\nhttps://iseu.instructure.com/eportfolios/553/Home/2021HD__CHINESE_2021The_Soul_\nhttps://ap.instructure.com/eportfolios/68472/Home/TW_2021HD___The_SoulHDQ\nhttps://gumroad.com/polimasitahs\nhttps://muckrack.com/xcw-asdw/bio\nhttps://www.guest-articles.com/others/who-inspector-caught-on-camera-revealing-coronavirus-manipulation-in-wuhan-before-pandemic-18-01-2021\nhttps://www.thewyco.com/news/who-inspector-caught-on-camera-revealing-coronavirus-manipulation-in-wuhan-before-pandemic-18-01-2021\nhttps://terimakasihema.medium.com/who-inspector-caught-on-camera-revealing-coronavirus-manipulation-in-wuhan-before-pandemic-1166c40e6f6c\n\n\n\nBased on his response, it is evident that just before the start of the pandemic, the WIV was modifying coronaviruses in the lab. \"You can manipulate them in the lab pretty easily.\" What he then mentioned has become the telltale trait of SARS-CoV-2, its spike protein: \"Spike protein drives a lot of what happens with the coronavirus, zoonotic risk.\"\n\nDaszak mentions the WIV's collaboration with Baric: \"and we work with Ralph Baric at UNC [University of North Carolina] to do this.\" As has been suggested by proponents that SARS-CoV-2 is a chimera made in a lab, he speaks of inserting the spike protein \"into a backbone of another virus\" and then doing \"some work in the lab.\"\n\nProviding evidence of the creation of chimeras for the sake of a vaccine, he states \"Now, the logical progression for vaccines is, if you are going to develop a vaccine for SARS, people are going to use pandemic SARS, but let’s try to insert these other related diseases and get a better vaccine.”\n\nBased on Daszak's statements, it appears that just before the start of the pandemic, the WIV was using GoF experiments with chimeras in an attempt to create a vaccine. These experiments appeared to have included infecting mice genetically modified to express the human ACE2 protein with these chimeras.\n\nIn a presentation titled \"Assessing Coronavirus Threats,\" which was delivered four years before the pandemic in 2015, Daszak points out that experiments involving humanized mice have the highest degree of risk. Demonstrating his close ties with the WIV, he also listed the lab as a collaborator at the end of the presentation.\nTAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Video surfaced on Sunday (Jan. 17) showing a foreign national shout at passengers, conductors, and police when asked to wear a face mask and apply it properly, because she claimed masks make her cough.\n\nOn Sunday, a foreign woman was seen riding a Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) train bound for Taichung without a mask. When she was asked to wear a mask, she allegedly cursed fellow passengers, made obscene hand gestures, and refused to cooperate with conductors and police officers.\n\nA member of the Facebook group Breaking News Commune (爆料公社), Rex Huang, on Sunday wrote an account of the incident and included photos and videos demonstrating the woman's behavior while on the train. Huang said that while riding a TRA train on Sunday from New Taipei City's Banqiao District to Taoyuan's Zhongli District, he overheard a foreign woman sitting behind him suddenly starting to yell and shout the expletive \"f***!\"",

      "body": "TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan People's Party Legislator Chiu Chen-yuan (邱臣遠) said Friday (Jan. 15) that the government should create a more welcoming environment for foreign students wishing to work in Taiwan following graduation.\n\nDuring a public forum on the challenges international students face while searching for jobs in Taiwan, Chiu pointed out that many local employers refuse to hire foreigners due to an unfamiliarity with the visa application process. He invited a few foreign professionals to share their experiences.\n\nA Hong Kong woman surnamed Ho (何) who studied in Taiwan said she found it extremely difficult to find a new job after resigning from her previous one. She said most companies had turned down her application because they had not heard of the points system for foreign graduates in Taiwan (評點制), which allows international graduates to work legally in the country if they demonstrate proficiency in Mandarin and understanding of the local culture.\n\nA foreign man surnamed Chen who works in the media industry said he was once passed up for a job because the company's human resource team thought his visa application work was too tedious. He said the supervisor had promised him the position during their last meeting.\n\nChiu noted that Taiwan currently has a relatively conservative immigration policy. Although foreign talents can qualify for a work permit and Alien Resident Certificate (ARC) by having a salary above NT$47,971 (US$1,713) or through the points system, local companies are often still hesitant to hire them, he said.\n\nChiu said the government must do more to promote the points system and foster a friendlier environment to recruit foreign talent. He also urged the government to accelerate the introduction of the New Economic Immigration Act in the legislature, reported CNA.\n\n\nFull list of adverse reactions from China's Sinopharm vaccine revealed\n\nTAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Amid increasing concern about the efficacy and safety of China's Wuhan coronavirus vaccines, the full list of the adverse side effects of the Sinopharm jab surfaced last week.\n\nShanghai-based vaccine expert Tao Lina (陶黎納) on Jan. 4 uploaded to Weibo a digital version of the manual for BBIBP-CorV, an inactivated vaccine produced by China National Biotec Group (CNBG), a subsidiary of China National Pharmaceutical Group Corporation (Sinopharm). In his post, he described the vaccine as the \"most unsafe vaccine in the world\" due to its 73 local and systemic adverse reactions.\n\nHowever, the post was deleted on Jan. 5 by China's censors \"due to violation of regulations.\" On Thursday (Jan. 7), Tao apologized and claimed that foreign media had mistaken his sarcastic joke about the vaccine instructions for real criticism and pledged to set an example by taking two doses himself.\nThe instructions for the vaccine rate the adverse reactions based on the standard set by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences, with the categories very common, common, uncommon, rare, and very rare. A total of 75 adverse side effects are listed, but because \"headache\" and \"eye pain\" are listed twice, the actual number is 73. The following is a translation of the instructions posted by Tan and published by hk01 on Jan. 6.\n\nhttps://faculdadearidesa.instructure.com/eportfolios/1661/Pgina_inicial/2021HD__CHINESE_2021Wish_Dragon_\nhttps://ics.instructure.com/eportfolios/745/Home/TW_2021HD___Wish_DragonHDQ\nhttps://alcorn.instructure.com/eportfolios/3634/Home/TW_2021HD___Wish_DragonHD\nhttps://niobraraschools.instructure.com/eportfolios/188/Home/TW__Wish_Dragon_2021__4K_BlueRay\nhttps://tocal.instructure.com/eportfolios/10920/Home/HK__Wish_Dragon_2021__4K_BlueRay\nhttps://erau.instructure.com/eportfolios/26024/Home/Wish_Dragon_2021HD1080p\nhttps://emanuel.instructure.com/eportfolios/1025/Home/Wish_Dragonhd_HD2021\nhttps://atsu.instructure.com/eportfolios/467/Home/Wish_Dragon___HD\nhttps://fixedincomeacademy.instructure.com/eportfolios/67414/Home/Wish_Dragon___Wish_Dragon_Zh_\nhttps://iseu.instructure.com/eportfolios/549/Home/_2021HD_Wish_Dragon___Wish_Dragon_Zh_\nhttps://iconcollective.instructure.com/eportfolios/386/Home/_2021Wish_Dragon_1080p\nhttps://www.guest-articles.com/entertainment/taiwanese-lawmaker-advocates-for-better-environment-for-job-seeking-foreign-graduates-17-01-2021\nhttps://www.thewyco.com/business/taiwanese-lawmaker-advocates-for-better-environment-for-job-seeking-foreign-graduates-17-01-2021\nhttps://adminalportsie.medium.com/taiwanese-lawmaker-advocates-for-better-environment-for-job-seeking-foreign-graduates-e06b5badd3c8\n\nLocal reactions\nFirst, for local reactions at the vaccination site, under very common it lists headache.

      "body": "EXCLUSIVE: Long-range missiles from Iran splashed down close to a commercial ship in the Indian Ocean Saturday and 100 miles from the Nimitz aircraft carrier strike group, Fox News has learned, in the latest example of rising tensions in the region. \n\nU.S. officials say at least one of the missiles landed 20 miles from the commercial vessel but refused to offer more specifics about the ship, citing privacy concerns. The officials requested anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence. \n\nIran tests missiles frequently. Senior U.S. military officials say 100 miles was a long way from the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz. Another source says these missiles did not cause alarm, and this was a fairly standard routine exercise. \n\n\nTwenty miles near a commercial vessel is more concerning, but not seen as a threat by the U.S. military, another source said.\n\nIRAN TO EXECUTE 2ND WRESTLER, SPARKING OUTRAGE FROM US STATE DEPARTMENT\n\nAt least two Iranian ballistic missiles exploded on impact when they hit the ocean, sending shards of debris in all directions.\n\nThe aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) steams ahead while participating in Malabar 2020 in the North Arabian Sea. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Keenan Daniels)\nThe aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) steams ahead while participating in Malabar 2020 in the North Arabian Sea. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Keenan Daniels)\n\"We were expecting the missile launch,\" one official said, but there was some concern just how close Iran was willing to push the envelope. \n\nIn May of last year, the Iranian Navy said more than a dozen people died during training when it hit one of its own warships with a missile, Forbes reported.\n\nWhile 100 miles is well over the horizon and not visible from the aircraft carrier or its escort ships, American spy satellites orbiting high above in space tracked the missile launch from the Islamic Republic. It's not immediately clear if the AN/SPY-1 radar aboard the guided-missile cruiser escorting the aircraft carrier Nimitz tracked the launch.   \n\nNimitz has remained in the northern Arabian Sea on the orders of President Trump through the inauguration. Earlier this month, the Pentagon reversed course and ordered the Nimitz not to return home, but instead to turn around and remain in the region. The aircraft carrier put to sea in early April from Washington state after the crew quarantined onboard pierside for two weeks. \n\nplaceholder\nA NEW FRONT AGAINST IRAN FOR 2021\n\nIran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims its' long-range ballistic missiles fired off Saturday morning flew more than 1,000 miles into the northern portion of the Indian Ocean -- just days before President Trump leaves office.\n\nPresident-elect Joe Biden has expressed a desire to return the United States to the landmark nuclear deal with Iran that Trump abandoned. \n\nIranian forces have conducted a host of military exercises in recent days, including firing cruise missiles from Southeast Iran into the sea. \n\nEarlier this week, in a show of force, an American guided-missile submarine armed with more than 150 Tomahawk cruise missiles lurked near Iranian naval exercises near the Strait of Hormuz. \n\nAn Iranian helicopter filmed the USS Georgia, which the submarine crept along at periscope depth. The \"feather\" behind the periscope was visible on the surface, as well as the broad outline of the submarine just beneath the surface. The video released in Iranian media made the submarine appear like a massive, manmade Great White shark in the clear water. \n\nThe U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, for the first time in nearly a decade, released photos of the submarine transiting the Strait of Hormuz near Iran in late December along with a pair of U.S. guided-missile cruisers. \n\n\nThe Iranian missile launches Saturday come days after the one-year anniversary of Iran firing ballistic missiles at a base in Iraq housing American troops. No Americans were killed, but more than 100 suffered head injuries. The Iranian attack came five days after U.S. forces killed Iran's most powerful general, Qassem Soleimani, in Baghdad while he was leaving the airport, along with Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, leader of Iran's proxy forces inside Iraq. \n\nhttps://spu.instructure.com/eportfolios/15156/Home/HK_Wish_Dragon_1080p\nhttps://placer.instructure.com/eportfolios/5522/Home/TW_Wish_Dragon__HD\nhttps://isp.instructure.com/eportfolios/12656/Home/__\nhttps://bcconted.instructure.com/eportfolios/2745/Home/HD_SUB_TW_Wish_Dragon_\nhttps://cit.instructure.com/eportfolios/19237/Home/Wish_Dragon__HD\nhttps://scranton.instructure.com/eportfolios/4885/Home/__TW__HD2021\nhttps://k12.instructure.com/eportfolios/16134/Home/__HK__HD2021\nhttps://umarycontinuinged.instructure.com/eportfolios/3050/Home/Wish_Dragon___4K\nhttps://courses-ecornell.instructure.com/eportfolios/10686/Home/Wish_Dragon___HD\nhttps://springfield.instructure.com/eportfolios/28544/Home/_2021Wish_Dragon1080p\nhttps://green360.instructure.com/eportfolios/103630/Home/2021Wish_DragonBlueRay\nhttps://slu-se.instructure.com/eportfolios/3357/Home/TW_2021HD___Wish_Dragon\nhttps://www.guest-articles.com/advertising/iranian-missiles-land-within-20-miles-of-ship-100-miles-from-nimitz-strike-group-in-indian-ocean-17-01-2021\nhttps://heteroatom.medium.com/iranian-missiles-land-within-20-miles-of-ship-100-miles-from-nimitz-strike-group-in-indian-ocean-ff3fb075b690\n\n\nIn recent days, Iran has released new videos of both the killing of Soleimani in the U.S. drone strike ordered by President Trump and of the ballistic missile barrage fired into Iraq last year.\n\nIn December, more than 20 rockets were fired at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, the largest attack on the American diplomatic compound in a decade, officials said. There was concern Iran would strike again in the days leading up to the one-year anniversary of the U.S. killing of Soleimani.",

      "body": "Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and his entire Cabinet resigned Friday to take political responsibility for a scandal involving investigations into child welfare payments that wrongly labeled thousands of parents as fraudsters.\n\nIn a nationally televised speech, Rutte said he had informed King Willem-Alexander of his decision and pledged that his government would continue work to compensate affected parents as quickly as possible and to battle the coronavirus.\n\nNETHERLANDS ENTERS SECOND STRICT 5-WEEK LOCKDOWN AMID RISING CORONAVIRUS CASES\n\n\n\"We are of one mind that if the whole system has failed, we all must take responsibility, and that has led to the conclusion that I have just offered the king, the resignation of the entire Cabinet,\" Rutte said.\n\nNot long after delivering his statement, Rutte got on his bicycle and rode to the king's palace in a forest in The Hague to formally inform him. Dutch television showed Rutte parking his bike at the bottom of steps leading into the palace and walking inside.\n\nThe move was seen as largely symbolic; Rutte’s government will remain in office in a caretaker mode until a new coalition is formed after a March 17 election in the Netherlands.\n\nThe resignation brings to an end a decade in office for Rutte, although his party is expected to win the election, putting him first in line to begin talks to form the next government. If he succeeds in forming a new coalition, Rutte would most likely again become prime minister.\n\nGeert Wilders, leader of the largest opposition party in the Dutch parliament, said it was the right decision for the government to quit.\n\n\"Innocent people have been criminalized, their lives destroyed and parliament was informed about it inaccurately and incompletely,\" he tweeted.\n\nThe Netherlands is the third European country thrown into political uncertainty this week in the midst of the coronavirus crisis. In Estonia, the government resigned over a corruption scandal, while Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte’s governing coalition is at risk of collapse after a small partner party withdrew its support.\n\n\nRutte said earlier this week that his government would be able to keep taking tough policy decisions in the battle against the coronavirus even if it were in caretaker mode. The Netherlands is in a strict lockdown until at least Feb. 9, and the government is considering imposing an overnight curfew amid fears about new, more contagious variants of the virus.\n\n\nJesse Klaver, the leader of one opposition party, told national broadcaster NOS he would continue to support the government in its coronavirus campaign.\n\nOn Thursday, the leader of the opposition Labor Party stepped down because he was minister of social affairs in a coalition led by Rutte when the country’s tax office implemented a stringent policy of tracking down fraud with child welfare.\n\nA sitting minister, Eric Wiebes, who also was linked to the scandal, said Friday he was resigning with immediate effect and would not be part of the caretaker administration.\n\nAt Friday's Cabinet meeting, ministers decided their reaction to a scathing parliamentary report issued last month, titled \"Unprecedented Injustice,\" that said the tax office policies violated \"fundamental principles of the rule of law.\" The report also criticized the government for the way it provided information to parliament about the scandal.\n\nMany wrongfully accused parents were plunged into debt when tax officials demanded payments be returned. The government has in the past apologized for the tax office’s methods and in March earmarked 500 million euros ($607 million) to compensate more than 20,000 parents.\n\nIn a written reaction, the government pledged to reform the welfare system as a result of the scandal and to quickly pay affected parents 30,000 euros ($36,300) and expand existing compensation schemes.\n\nhttps://spu.instructure.com/eportfolios/15122/Home/HK_BLACK_FILE_1080p\nhttps://placer.instructure.com/eportfolios/5174/Home/TW_BLACK_FILE__HD\nhttps://isp.instructure.com/eportfolios/12397/Home/__\nhttps://cit.instructure.com/eportfolios/18856/Home/HD_SUB_TW_BLACK_FILE_\nhttps://scranton.instructure.com/eportfolios/4811/Home/BLACK_FILE__HD\nhttps://umarycontinuinged.instructure.com/eportfolios/3036/Home/__HK__HD2021\nhttps://courses-ecornell.instructure.com/eportfolios/10651/Home/BLACK_FILE___4K\nhttps://bcconted.instructure.com/eportfolios/2724/Home/BLACK_FILE___HD\nhttps://slu-se.instructure.com/eportfolios/3350/Home/_2021BLACK_FILE1080p\nhttps://springfield.instructure.com/eportfolios/27935/Home/2021BLACK_FILEBlueRay\nhttps://green360.instructure.com/eportfolios/103041/Home/TW_2021HD___BLACK_FILE\nhttps://k12.instructure.com/eportfolios/16005/Home/2021HD__CHINESE_2021BLACK_FILE_\nhttps://faculdadearidesa.instructure.com/eportfolios/1633/Pgina_inicial/TW_2021HD___BLACK_FILEHDQ\nhttps://ics.instructure.com/eportfolios/711/Home/TW_2021HD___BLACK_FILEHD\nhttps://alcorn.instructure.com/eportfolios/3616/Home/TW__BLACK_FILE_2021__4K_BlueRay\nhttps://niobraraschools.instructure.com/eportfolios/181/Home/HK__BLACK_FILE_2021__4K_BlueRay\nhttps://tocal.instructure.com/eportfolios/10786/Home/BLACK_FILE_2021HD1080p\nhttps://erau.instructure.com/eportfolios/25994/Home/BLACK_FILEhd_HD2021\nhttps://emanuel.instructure.com/eportfolios/1024/Home/BLACK_FILE___HD\nhttps://fixedincomeacademy.instructure.com/eportfolios/66340/Home/BLACK_FILE___BLACK_FILE_Zh_\nhttps://iconcollective.instructure.com/eportfolios/379/Home/_2021HD_BLACK_FILE___BLACK_FILE_Zh_\nhttps://atsu.instructure.com/eportfolios/466/Home/_2021BLACK_FILE_1080p\nhttps://www.guest-articles.com/news/most-republicans-want-gop-in-congress-to-stand-up-to-biden-poll-16-01-2021\nhttps://www.guest-articles.com/others/dutch-government-resigns-over-child-welfare-scandal-16-01-2021\nhttps://www.thewyco.com/news/most-republicans-want-gop-in-congress-to-stand-up-to-biden-poll-16-01-2021\nhttps://justifieron.medium.com/dutch-government-resigns-over-child-welfare-scandal-569353b0c91b\n\n\"It's important for me because it is the government acknowledging, ‘We have made a mistake and we are taking responsibility,’ because it's quite something what happened to us,\" Janet Ramesar told The Associated Press.\n\nRutte plans to lead his conservative People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy into the March election, and polls suggest it will win the most seats. That would put Rutte, who has been in office for a decade at the head of three different coalitions, first in line to attempt to form the next ruling coalition.\n\nBut he said that it was up to voters at the election to decide on his future, noting that he took ultimate responsibility for failings within his government.",

      "title": "Top scientists warn of 'ghastly future' for planet as leaders underestimate ecological threats",
      "body": "(CNN)The world is on track for a \"ghastly future,\" an international group of scientists has warned, with accelerating climate change and biodiversity loss threatening the survival of all of the planet's species unless world leaders face up to the challenge and act urgently.\n\nAs part of a bleak \"prognosis,\" a team of 17 leading scientists on Wednesday cautioned that the future of the planet is \"more dire and dangerous than is generally understood,\" and say they have conducted the assessment to clarify the seriousness of the situation the world faces.\nCiting some 150 studies describing the world's environmental changes, the experts warn that world leaders need a \"cold shower\" wake-up call when it comes to the state of the planet, saying environmental conditions are \"far more dangerous than currently believed\" by civilians and scientists alike.\n\nDaniel Blumstein, professor at the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability at the University of California, Los Angeles and one of the authors of the article, told CNN it was no exaggeration to talk about a potential risk to our civilization.\n\"Maybe people certainly recognize it, but they don't understand the urgency, or maybe they recognize it, but they don't want to take the individual sacrifice,\" he said.\nThe time delays between ecological deterioration and its socioeconomic impacts mean people do not grasp the seriousness and timeliness of the problem, the report's authors said.\n\"The mainstream is having difficulty grasping the magnitude of this loss, despite the steady erosion of the fabric of human civilization,\" lead author professor Corey Bradshaw, of Flinders University in Australia, said in a statement. \"In fact, the scale of the threats to the biosphere and all its lifeforms is so great that it is difficult to grasp for even well-informed experts.\"\nA grave and understated threat to life\nTime and again, scientists, experts and environmentalists have warned that the Earth has reached a crucial tipping point -- recent research from the World Wide Fund for Nature found the world's wildlife populations have fallen by an average of 68% in just over four decades, with human consumption behind the devastating decline.\nWe are in a sixth mass extinction, and humans are in the driving seat, having already wiped out hundreds of species and pushed many more to the brink of extinction through wildlife trade, pollution, habitat loss and the use of toxic substances.\nIn 2010, leaders from 196 countries gathered in Japan and agreed on a list of biodiversity targets designed to save the Earth -- but in September, 10 years later, a UN panel concluded that the world had collectively failed to fully achieve a single target.\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/beginibegistubangetdada\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/pulangmalutakpulangrindu\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/janganlagirinducintas\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/weureugadungahsitimen\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/hujanangindordargelap\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/sampeudigorengtawadibeuleum\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/polostomosingajabrig\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/tolongcaritausiapadia\nhttps://www.guest-articles.com/news/top-scientists-warn-of-ghastly-future-for-planet-as-leaders-underestimate-ecological-threats-14-01-2021\nhttps://www.thewyco.com/news/top-scientists-warn-of-ghastly-future-for-planet-as-leaders-underestimate-ecological-threats-14-01-2021\n\nUN experts have been clear: If we maintain our trajectory in the accelerating climate crisis, biodiversity will continue to deteriorate -- with devastating outcomes for the planet's animals, plants and people.\nBut the international experts warn that no leader or political system is prepared for the disasters associated with biodiversity loss, or capable of addressing the crisis.\n\"We've said for years 'we need to do this, that and the other thing,' we know what the problems are, we just choose not to make the changes,\" Blumstein said.\nEliminating fossil fuels, reining in corporate lobbying that influences policymaking and empowering women with access to education and reproductive control are among the steps necessary, he added.\n\"Stopping biodiversity loss is nowhere close to the top of any country's priorities, trailing far behind other concerns such as employment, healthcare, economic growth, or currency stability,\" professor Paul Ehrlich of Stanford University, one of the study's authors, said.\n\"While it is positive news that President-elect Biden intends to reengage the US in (the) Paris Climate accord within his first 100 days of office, it is a minuscule gesture given the scale of the challenge,\" he added.\n\nEhrlich is the author of \"The Population Bomb,\" a controversial 1968 text that warned of overpopulation, predicting millions of people would starve to death.\nHe has since said that while many details and timings of events were wrong, the book was correct overall, telling the Guardian in 2018: \"Population growth, along with over-consumption per capita, is driving civilisation over the edge: billions of people are now hungry or micronutrient malnourished, and climate disruption is killing people.\"\nChange is crucial\nThe scientists warn that world leaders must act to avoid a grim future while planning for impending changes the planet is set to face -- but hope is not lost.\nBlumstein said he hoped the coronavirus pandemic could serve as a warning. \"Covid, with all of the disruption that it has caused, is actually practice for the future,\" he said. \"This could actually help us move toward unifying and working together. Scientists, remarkably, have worked together. it's the lack of effective world governance or even cooperation in many ways, when we see things breaking down.\"\nIn the report, published in the journal Frontiers in Conservation Science, the authors wrote: \"Our goal is not to present a fatalist perspective, because there are many examples of successful interventions to prevent extinctions, restore ecosystems, and encourage more sustainable economic activity at both local and regional scales.\n\"Instead, we contend that only a realistic appreciation of the colossal challenges facing the international community might allow it to chart a less-ravaged future,\" the team added.\nStill, they wrote, fundamental changes to global capitalism, education and equality are required to address the problem.",

      "body": "(CNN)A high-ranking official with the New York Police Department has been suspended without pay and is now the subject of an internal disciplinary process after a string of racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic posts, the NYPD confirmed.\n\nLate last year, an investigation by the City Council connected Deputy Inspector James Francis Kobel to a user under the name \"Clouseau.\" Under that identity, he routinely posted offensive messages on a public law enforcement message board attacking Black people, Muslims, the Hasidic Jewish community and others with extremely derogatory language, according to a draft report from the New York City Council Oversight and Investigations Division.\nKobel was the commanding officer of the police department's Office of Equal Employment and Opportunity, which is responsible for investigating employment and harassment claims.\nIn November, he was relieved of his command and placed on modified duty after the City Council investigation but will now face a 30-day suspension without pay, the department said. He has also filed for retirement from the police force, the NYPD confirmed to CNN.\n\"Deputy Inspector Kobel has served the City of New York and the NYPD honorably for nearly 29 years,\" Chris Monahan, President of the Captains Endowment Association said in a statement. \"Given the current political climate and anti-police sentiment, DI Kobel did not see it as possible to get a fair administrative trial and decided to avail himself of the opportunity to file for retirement.\"\nEven if he goes through the disciplinary process and is dismissed, Kobel can still be eligible for his pension benefits, according to the NYPD.\nADVERTISING\n\nKobel said he was unfamiliar with 'Clouseau'\n\"Clouseau\" posted to \"Law Enforcement Rant,\" a public internet messaging board where police officers often vent their job grievances, between July 2019 and September 2020.\nThe user used disparaging language to refer to elected officials, including former President Barack Obama and Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark, who is a Black woman, the report claimed.\nHe allegedly used slurs to describe two NYPD officers, who are women of color. And he insulted Eric Garner, who died in 2014 after an NYPD officer put him in a chokehold, along with this mother, the report said.\n\nHe also attacked athletes in the NFL for kneeling in protest of police brutality, and perpetuated stereotypes about the Hasidic Jewish community as Covid-19 cases increased in New York in March.\nKobel has told The New York Times that he did not post on the \"Rant\" and was unfamiliar with \"Clouseau.\"\nBut investigators said they were able to identify him by matching information provided in the posts with publicly available personal information about Kobel.\nBoth \"Clouseau\" and Kobel joined the NYPD at the same time, held the rank of captain or higher in 2019 and were on the job in February 2020,\" the report said. The authors also wrote that the two had served in the NYPD Housing Bureau under the same former chief. And details that \"Clouseau\" shared -- such as when his parents died, where his in-laws live, where he proposed to his wife and how many parishioners of his church died in the 9/11 attacks -- corresponded to information about Kobel.\n\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/kacangkcangkcang/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/cangkringcangkringcangkring/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/politickusmasihmerjingas/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/yerimsamarintundaka/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/sarembutisansdaw/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/politsumansutarisdw/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/barangbagusyeuhs/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/bawanggaringdigoreng/\nhttps://www.guest-articles.com/news/an-nypd-official-is-suspended-without-pay-after-being-connected-to-racists-posts-on-a-message-board-12-01-2021\nhttps://sabasdhcxmsad.medium.com/an-nypd-official-is-suspended-without-pay-after-being-connected-to-racists-posts-on-a-message-board-65fee1e73d9d\n\n\nThe disturbing comments Kobel is alleged to have made came to light as law enforcement departments around the nation face scrutiny for explicit and implicit racism within their ranks and grapple with calls to increase accountability.\nCity Councilman and Congressman-elect Ritchie Torres, who oversaw the report, called for Kobel to resign in November.\n2 Capitol Police officers suspended and at least 10 more under investigation for alleged roles in riot\n2 Capitol Police officers suspended and at least 10 more under investigation for alleged roles in riot\n\"The virulent bigotry of Deputy Inspector James Kobel has no place in the NYPD, much less in the Office of Equal Employment Opportunity,\" Torres said in a statement to CNN. \"The shocking nature of his misconduct calls for nothing less than termination.\"\nMonahan said in a statement to CNN at the time that Kobel is a \"dedicated professional\" who adamantly denies these allegations.\n\"Unfortunately, he has conducted thousands of internal investigations over the last several years,\" Monahan said. \"Clearly, he has angered some people along the way.

      "title": "White House moving day packed with taxpayer-funded Covid-19 cleanings and shifting sports equipment",
      "body": "(CNN)A thorough cleaning is part of the every-four-years tradition that comes with the outgoing president and his family swapping White House living with the incoming president and family.\n\nThe delicate and highly choreographed event of packing up and moving out, and unpacking and moving in, done by dozens of prepped and trained staff and movers, typically occurs in the six-hour window when both the exiting and entering presidents and their spouses attend Inauguration Day ceremonies on Capitol Hill. By the time the new president and first lady return to the White House, all of their stuff will have been moved in and ready to go -- down to a refrigerator stocked with their favorite foods and the master bathroom equipped with their preferred shampoo.\nBut, like most things Trump administration, this January 20 won't be very traditional.\nBefore the Bidens move in, the White House will first undergo a Covid-19 cleansing, top to bottom, from East Wing to West Wing. According to federal contract data reviewed by CNN, the total for the amplified White House inauguration deep clean right now hovers near a half-million dollars.\nThis includes $127,000 for what one government order refers to as \"2021 Inaugural Cleaning,\" bid out to Didlake, a Virginia-based business that employs people with disabilities for jobs including janitorial and housekeeping services. That's separate from a $44,000 order for carpet cleaning and the $115,000 purchase agreement for \"2021 Presidential Inauguration and Transition Carpet Replacement and Installation to correct the current floor condition of selected interior floors for various offices,\" within the East Wing, West Wing and Executive Office Building, according to the description.\nIn traditional administration-swaps, the bulk of the cleaning, while thorough, is done predominantly by White House staff -- housekeepers, butlers, ushers -- and upkeep such as electrical fixes and small maintenance jobs completed by White House workers, of which there are typically 90 to 100 in roles that range from pastry cooks to florists to plumbers.\nHowever, this time around, the incoming Biden administration wanted to ensure that 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, which has been a hot spot of at least three Covid-19 breakouts, gets the sort of scrub-down a pandemic deserves, according to a White House official who spoke with CNN on the condition of anonymity.\n\"The idea that they would just move in seems unlikely,\" said the official, who was not aware of the specific contract numbers but was aware there were additional measures being taken after the Trumps leave the White House.\n\nPresident Donald Trump tweeted last week that he will not attend President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration and CNN has reported the Trumps are scheduled to leave Washington the day prior, on January 19. Biden is planning to spend the night before his inauguration in a Washington hotel, people familiar with the plans say, and will move to the White House after the thorough clean.\n\"People tend to forget how big this building is,\" said the official; the White House is some 55,000 square feet.\nThe Biden transition team did not immediately respond to a CNN request for comment about the additional cleaning contracts.\nAdditional inaugural cleaning contracts, which were all made though the Public Building Service within the General Service Administration, include more than $29,000 to clean the curtains in the East Wing, West Wing and Eisenhower Executive Office Building and $53,000 for painting and wall coverings.\nTypically, the window of time on Inauguration Day is not enough for updating paint and wallpaper around the house, but as there is more time now, thanks to what appears to be the Trumps' early departure on January 19, the walls will get refreshed. A contract for $37,975 was awarded to an Annapolis, Maryland, company for the removal of trash and recycling, \"per the scope of work in relation to the 2021 Inauguration.\"\nAnother $50,000 has been contracted for overtime pay for the movers.\n\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/taktiktuktiktaktiktuk/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/kolibrimadurasajambu/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/terngiangngiangditelinga/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/kurupukseblakrasanyamantap/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/terimakasihemabapa/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/readaharanggerwereang/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/singsolehturbageuda/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/seriosamangakyioksa/\nhttps://www.guest-articles.com/news/white-house-moving-day-packed-with-taxpayer-funded-covid-19-cleanings-and-shifting-sports-equipment-12-01-2021\nhttps://www.thewyco.com/news/white-house-moving-day-packed-with-taxpayer-funded-covid-19-cleanings-and-shifting-sports-equipment-12-01-2021\nhttps://griffinhood-31252.medium.com/white-house-moving-day-packed-with-taxpayer-funded-covid-19-cleanings-and-shifting-sports-equipment-46cb500bbb9e\n\nMelania Trump has been moving items for almost two months, according to multiple sources. She has already completed several shipments to Mar-a-Lago, the Palm Beach, Florida, private club where the first couple is expected to reside. She has also put much of the family's furniture and décor into storage. One of the sources estimates Trump is \"about 50%\" packed from the White House, a job she began in earnest in the weeks following Election Day.\nDespite the national turmoil, two sources confirm to CNN that much of her attention has been on her photo album collection, a hobby she has maintained for more than a decade, clipping and creating large, leather-bound albums embossed with the dates and occasions of each of the contents.\nOne of the sources familiar with her penchant for photo albums said the first lady has utilized the services of her official White House photographer, Andrea Hanks, to help her complete the personal projects. Hanks is a government employee and her request for overtime hours has riled colleagues in the White House photo office.\nThe East Wing did not immediately respond to a CNN request for comment.\nThe first lady's chief of staff and spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, resigned last Wednesday following the insurrection at the Capitol. Melania Trump has not been seen publicly since returning from her Florida home to the White House on December 31.\n\nMeanwhile, the Biden transition team has already been in touch with White House chief usher Timothy Harleth, two sources told CNN. Harleth was hired by Melania Trump in June 2017; he was previously working at the Trump International Hotel Washington as manager of rooms. One White House source said Harleth is covertly helping the Biden team navigate the moving-in process, as the tradition of the current first lady welcoming the incoming first lady never happened under Trump -- Melania Trump still has yet to reach out to Jill Biden.\nAs such, communication between staffs on the two opposing sides is nonexistent, where prior administrations, even those on opposite sides of the political aisle, have by now had lengthy and in-depth discussion about moving logistics.\nIt is not clear, for example, whether the Biden family's moving trucks will be allowed to haul the President-elect's beloved Peloton from his Wilmington, Delaware, home into the White House residence. The standalone bikes typically have video cameras that connect to the internet, which could be one of few minor hiccups.\nPast presidents' high-tech gadgets have typically required security vetting and retrofitting -- especially when they connect to the internet or cell networks. The Washington Post reported in February 2019 that Trump had a $50,000, room-sized golf simulator installed in the White House -- replacing a less sophisticated simulator installed by President Barack Obama. At the time, the price for the fully set-up Trump simulator from TrackMan, which has golf simulators at multiple Trump properties, started at around $50,000.\nHigh-end simulators such as TrackMan's often connect to the internet and have sensors or cameras. Emails from the US Secret Service obtained by CNN through the Freedom of Information Act show that agency personnel, including a protective detail liaison for the Secret Service's Technical Security Division, exchanged \"notes\" and \"tech info\" on the TrackMan golf simulator in the months prior to its reported installation.\nPrevious presidents didn't have such high-tech problems. President George W. Bush asked for workout equipment, including an elliptical machine and dumbbells, to be installed in a poolside cabana steps from the Oval Office, and a fold-up treadmill to be placed aboard Air Force One. Old-school enough not to raise security flags.",

      "body": "New York (CNN Business)Fox News Channel is removing one of its only nighttime hours of news coverage and replacing it with a right-wing opinion show, signifying a further shift toward the incendiary programming that Fox viewers overwhelmingly prefer.\n\nThe 7 p.m. hour, anchored by Martha MacCallum and called \"The Story,\" will become \"Fox News Primetime\" and will be led by a \"rotating\" cast of opinion hosts, a Fox spokesperson said Monday morning.\nMacCallum will move to the 3 p.m. hour next Monday, Fox said. The move will surely be seen as a time slot demotion, since 7 p.m. is a much more prominent position.\nThe overhaul of the 7 p.m. hour is partly a response to ratings pressures. Fox News has been losing to CNN in the key 25- to 54-year-old demographic. Since the election, when many of President Trump's supporters were furious with Fox's acknowledgement of Joe Biden's victory, a far-right show on Newsmax has also been peeling away some of Fox's viewers in the 7 p.m. hour.\nSeveral Fox sources have described the Fox audience as \"pissed\" and \"furious\" about both Trump's loss and Fox's coverage, which has skewed to the right, but evidently not far enough for Trump loyalists.\nMacCallum, who co-anchored Fox's election coverage with 6 p.m. anchor Bret Baier, is one of the targets of the Trump base's post-election rage, as a quick peek at her social media footprint proves. The replies to her posts on Twitter and Instagram pages are often full of venom about being insufficiently pro-Trump.\nStelter: Fox News and Facebook are part of the pro-Trump fantasyland that enabled the Capitol siege\nStelter: Fox News and Facebook are part of the pro-Trump fantasyland that enabled the Capitol siege\nThat's surprising, to some degree, since MacCallum's 7 p.m. show clearly leans conservative in its guest bookings and topic selections. But it is still considered by Fox to be a news program, not a full-blown opinion hour like \"Tucker Carlson Tonight,\" \"Hannity\" and \"The Ingraham Angle\" later in the evening. So the decision to install an opinion host at 7 is telling about Fox's direction.\nRupert Murdoch, the executive chairman of Fox Corporation, was directly involved in the decision-making, according to two sources with knowledge of the matter.\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/soulmuaraatahcuy/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/cicaheumsnn/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/cacingsomeah/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/setrumwelahs/\nhttps://www.guest-articles.com/education/fox-news-removes-one-of-its-only-nighttime-hours-of-news-coverage-12-01-2021\n\nStaffers at Fox said Monday that the shakeup was an admission that Fox has newfound competition all across the right-wing media world, from Newsmax and other outlets like One America News.\nOne staffer offered a blunt interpretation of the moves: \"Newsmax won.\"\nNewsmax has a far smaller audience than Fox at any given time of day, but its sudden ratings surge in November has caused a great deal of consternation inside Fox.\nShortly after the Fox schedule shakeup was announced, Newsmax issued a statement that began, \"the Fox is on the run. The rise of Newsmax TV has caused a major shake-up at Fox News.\"\nNewsmax's 7 p.m. host Greg Kelly has indulged Trump's lies about the election for months. He has promoted conspiracy theories and insisted that Trump could still serve a second term, giving his viewers false hope about the future.\nNot coincidentally, he has been the highest-rated host on the channel.\nMacCallum's move to 3 p.m. on Fox has several ripple effects. Bill Hemmer, who was only recently given the 3 p.m. hour after years of co-anchoring in the mornings, is now heading back to the mornings: He will be on from 9 to 11 a.m. alongside Dana Perino, who is also losing her solo hour at 2 p.m.\nInstead of anchoring a solo hour at 1 p.m., Harris Faulkner will anchor at 11 a.m., leading into the \"Outnumbered\" talk show that she helms.\nFrom 1 until 3 p.m., Sandra Smith will co-anchor with John Roberts, who is leaving his chief White House correspondent post for an anchor position.\nThe shuffling was first reported by Variety on Monday morning.\nTwo sources said further changes are expected to the programming lineup in the coming weeks.\nFox rejected suggestions that Monday's moves were a result of post-election trouble, pointing out that the network said in October that it \"regularly considers programming changes, including to its daytime lineup, and will launch new formats as appropriate after the election.\"\nOther networks also tend to make programming changes after presidential elections. CNN on Monday announced several new anchor roles.",

      "body": "Corporate America pulls the plug on President Trump\n\nLondon (CNN Business)Corporate America has long had a complex relationship with President Donald Trump. Many executives have been critical of his unpredictability, restrictions on immigration and ready use of tariffs — all while benefiting from his 2017 tax cuts and deregulation agenda.\n\nBut in the wake of deadly riots at the US Capitol last week spurred on by the president himself, the tide of opinion has clearly turned.\nWhat's happening: Companies that are in a position to do something are finally taking action. Twitter and Facebook have now barred Trump from their platforms, depriving him of a critical megaphone. Stripe will stop processing payments for Trump's campaign website, while the PGA has canceled plans to play its 2022 championship at Trump's Bedminster golf course.\nFacing an unprecedented threat to US democracy, companies appear to be recalculating the benefits and risks of being associated with Trump.\nMy CNN Business colleague Matt Egan points out that the Business Roundtable cheered on the CEO president after his election in 2016, applauding his tax plans and appointment of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, a former Goldman Sachs banker.\nLast week, the influential business lobby struck a very different tone, slamming US politicians for spreading the \"fiction of a fraudulent 2020 presidential election.\"\n\"After the unconscionable and tragic events we witnessed, it could not be clearer that it is time for the nation and lawmakers to unite around President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris,\" the group, which is chaired by Walmart CEO Doug McMillon, said in a statement.\nBusiness leaders that previously supported Trump have also taken public steps to distance themselves from the president. Take Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman, who had been one of Trump's most ardent corporate backers. In a statement last week, Schwarzman called the siege of the Capitol \"appalling,\" adding that \"the outcome of the election is very clear and there must be a peaceful transition of power.\"\nYet the latest moves go beyond strongly worded statements.\nAfter years of hesitating to moderate Trump's social media accounts — arguing that the president should be given more slack as a powerful public official — Twitter has barred the president from its platform for good, while Facebook has blocked Trump from posting for the remainder of his term.\nIt's a reminder that when companies want to move swiftly, they can. But investors seem to be worried about the business consequences, sending Twitter (TWTR) shares down nearly 7% in premarket trading. Facebook's shares are off 1.6%.\nThe direction of travel has been set, however.\nOther tech giants also entered the fray this weekend, banning Parler, the alternative social media platform gaining traction among some of the president's supporters. The company now finds itself virtually homeless on the internet after Amazon, Apple and Google have all booted it from their platforms in a span of a little more than 24 hours.\n\"[Amazon Web Services] provides technology and services to customers across the political spectrum, and we continue to respect Parler's right to determine for itself what content it will allow on its site,\" AWS said in a letter to Parler, which had utilized its cloud hosting service. \"However, we cannot provide services to a customer that is unable to effectively identify and remove content that encourages or incites violence against others.\"\nAll the jobs lost in December were held by women\nUS employers cut 140,000 jobs in December, signaling that the economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic is in reverse.\nA deeper look at the data also reveals a shocking gender gap: Women accounted for all the job losses, losing 156,000 jobs, while men gained 16,000, my CNN Business colleague Annalyn Kurtz reports.\nThe US economy lost 140,000 jobs in December. All of them were held by women\nThe US economy lost 140,000 jobs in December. All of them were held by women\nThese are net numbers, which can mask some of the underlying churn in the labor market. Many men, of course, lost their jobs in December, too — but when taken together as a group, they came out ahead, whereas women fell behind.\nBig picture: Economists often warn against reading too much into a single month. But December's job losses capped off an already awful year for working women.\nWomen are still down 5.4 million jobs from February, before the pandemic began, compared to 4.4 million job losses for men. They started 2020 on roughly equal footing, with women holding 50.03% of jobs, but ended it holding 860,000 fewer jobs than their male peers.\nThe situation has been particularly dire for Black and Latina women, who disproportionately work in sectors that have been hit hardest by the pandemic, and often in roles that lack paid sick leave and the ability to work from home. As schools and day cares closed, many were forced to make hard trade-offs between work and parenting.\n\"Those sectors are less likely to have flexibility, so when employers are inflexible or women can't come to work because of caregiving responsibilities — they have to exit the workforce,\" said C. Nicole Mason, president and CEO of the Institute for Women's Policy Research.\nAmong women, Latinas currently have the highest unemployment rate at 9.1%, followed by Black women at 8.4%. White women have the lowest unemployment rate at 5.7%.\nBitcoin's massive rally comes to a halt\nBitcoin has been on a huge tear at the start of 2021. But over the weekend, some investors appeared to have second thoughts.\nhttps://wellesleyk12.instructure.com/eportfolios/1281/Home/God_Youre_Such_a_Prick_HD_1080p\nhttps://springfield.instructure.com/eportfolios/22188/Home/___2021\nhttps://placer.instructure.com/eportfolios/2910/Home/God_Youre_Such_a_Prick_2021HD\nhttps://sfps.instructure.com/eportfolios/2329/Home/HD\nhttps://wellesleyk12.instructure.com/eportfolios/1282/Home/Into_the_Labyrinth_HD_1080p\nhttps://springfield.instructure.com/eportfolios/22191/Home/___2021\nhttps://placer.instructure.com/eportfolios/2912/Home/Into_the_Labyrinth_2021HD\nhttps://sfps.instructure.com/eportfolios/2334/Home/HD\nhttps://wellesleyk12.instructure.com/eportfolios/1283/Home/Silent_Tokyo_HD_1080p\nhttps://springfield.instructure.com/eportfolios/22195/Home/___2021\nhttps://placer.instructure.com/eportfolios/2916/Home/Silent_Tokyo_2021HD\nhttps://sfps.instructure.com/eportfolios/2335/Home/HD\nhttps://wellesleyk12.instructure.com/eportfolios/1284/Home/Miss_Andy_HD_1080p3\nhttps://springfield.instructure.com/eportfolios/22200/Home/___2021\nhttps://placer.instructure.com/eportfolios/2921/Home/Miss_Andy_2021HD\nhttps://sfps.instructure.com/eportfolios/2339/Home/HD\nhttps://www.guest-articles.com/insurance/corporate-america-pulls-the-plug-on-president-trump-11-01-2021\nhttps://www.thewyco.com/business/corporate-america-pulls-the-plug-on-president-trump-11-01-2021\nhttps://definitives.medium.com/corporate-america-pulls-the-plug-on-president-trump-62ae6ebf67a9\n\nThe latest: The cryptocurrency has plunged since Saturday to just below $35,000. That's still more than 150% above where Bitcoin stood at the beginning of November, but well below highs near $42,000 reached late last week.\nOne driver could be the rise in US Treasury yields. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note is now above 1.1%, its highest level since last March. That puts pressure on assets that don't generate extra income for investors.\nA reminder: As Bitcoin investment goes mainstream, with greater interest from institutional investors like pension funds, regulators are warning it's still an incredibly risky enterprise.\nIn a statement Monday, Britain's Financial Conduct Authority said that investing in cryptocurrencies or related assets \"generally involves taking very high risks with investors' money.\"\n\"If consumers invest in these types of product, they should be prepared to lose all their money,\" the watchdog said.\nUp next\nThe Consumer Electronics Show kicks off — all virtual this year, of course.\nComing tomorrow: Data on small business optimism could provide clues on how vulnerable firms view the latest wave of US Covid cases.",

      "title": "Trump's final days put the country at a dangerous crossroad",
      "body": "(CNN)Donald Trump's presidency is in its final, chaotic spiral. But even with the end so near, each hour seems to carry a new threat to America's fragile democracy.\n\nWith less than two weeks until President-elect Joe Biden takes office, the nation is on edge -- unsure whether Trump will incite another round of violence or just carry on, petulantly, seeking outlets to whine about Twitter's decision to ban him. Recognizing the instability, Vice President Mike Pence has not ruled out an effort to invoke the 25th Amendment, a source close to the vice president told CNN Saturday night. The relationship between Trump and Pence is fractured -- they haven't spoken since Wednesday, when a violent mob stormed the Capitol, and the President never bothered to check on Pence's safety.\nThe insurrection put the country at a crossroads. House Democrats could bring a new round of impeachment proceedings this week, this time over Trump's role in inciting the deadly riot. If they go forward, Republicans could again be faced with a public test of their loyalty. That so few seem prepared to forcefully speak out, let alone pledge to take action against the President, suggests the Capitol siege is less likely to have marked the bloody end of Trumpism than the opening of a more dangerous chapter.\nThe day America realized how dangerous Donald Trump is \nThe day America realized how dangerous Donald Trump is\nThe \"paranoid style in American politics,\" as the historian Richard Hofstadter described it nearly 60 years ago, is nothing new. Under Trump, though, and through new organizing channels on social media, it has further radicalized the modern Republican Party and moved steadily from the fringes to the center of political power in Washington and state capitals around the country, which again saw angry clashes this week.\nFrom their gilded bubble, top Republicans have mixed condemnations -- mostly focused on Trump and his chief allies in the electoral college stunt, Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Josh Hawley of Missouri -- with a familiar refrain: that any meaningful rebuke to this horrifying display would only serve to \"politicize\" it and \"further divide\" the country. Plans to impeach Trump again and even Twitter's deplatforming of the President should, many Republicans said, be viewed as political gambits rather than rational, overdue measures to combat a vicious assault on democracy.\nBut those who would deny the scope of the threat were stripped of their fig leaves -- or delusions -- on Wednesday, setting off an enervating race to January 20, when Pence --- but not Trump --- will attend President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration.\nRepublicans haven't strayed too far from Trump\nBut if Pence, in his bid to keep Trump onside until then, is counting on an outpouring of support from his old colleagues on Capitol Hill, he will be disappointed. Shortly before CNN reported the vice president is keeping the 25th Amendment on the table, Texas Rep. Kevin Brady rejected it -- along any move toward impeachment -- and suggested, ridiculously, that doing so was no different from Trump's incitements.\n\"Those calling for impeachment or invoking the 25th Amendment in response to President Trump's rhetoric this week are themselves engaging in intemperate and inflammatory language,\" Brady tweeted, \"and calling for action that is equally irresponsible and could well incite further violence.\"\nMeanwhile, Hawley, who is seeking to co-opt Trump's movement to realize his own lofty ambitions, has spent more time bleating on Twitter about a canceled book contract than addressing his role in Wednesday's affair. Cruz, too, is shirking responsibility and even made the comically implausible argument that he has, actually, been a consistent critic of the President. Republican leadership has been mostly quiet, going through the motions of condemning the violence while refusing to endorse any meaningful action in response.\nREAD MORE\nHow a pro-Trump mob besieged the Capitol\nTrump pressured Pence to engineer a coup, then put the VP in danger, source says\nAs riot raged, Trump tried to call senators to overturn election\n'No one knew what we were supposed to be doing there': Inside the law enforcement chaos\nLIST: Members calling for impeachment or the 25th Amendment to be invoked\nThe party's grassroots have shown little inclination to make a clean break from Trump. On Friday, Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, a Trump loyalist who has been careful not to make a full break from the President, was reelected to her post despite the GOP having lost control of the House in 2018, the White House in 2020 and the Senate in 2021.\nEven retiring Sen. Pat Toomey, a Pennsylvania Republican, who was critical of the effort to upend the Electoral College count and told Fox News on Saturday that Trump has \"committed impeachable offenses,\" balked at pressing forward with the process.\n\"I don't know whether logistically it's actually really even possible or practical and I'm not sure it's desirable to attempt to force him out, what a day or two or three prior to the day on which he's going to be finished anyway,\" Toomey said. \"So I'm not clear that's the best path forward.\"\nThe refusal of congressional Republicans' to entertain any meaningful conversation over what comes next has put the onus on Democrats to chart the path forward. But they have their own political weights to balance.\nBiden has shown little enthusiasm for impeachment, knowing that a Senate trial would suck the oxygen out of his first days in office and give Republicans a high-profile forum to argue that his calls for unity and pledge to cool partisan passions were campaign trail lip service.\n\"I'm focused on the virus, the vaccine and economic growth,\" Biden said when asked about impeachment on Friday. \"What the Congress decides to do is for them to decide. But I'm going to have to, and they're going to have to be ready to hit the ground running.\"\nPreparing for what's coming\nThe political calculations now consuming both parties' brass are playing out against the backdrop of more imminent threats. Security concerns ahead of Biden's January 20 inaugural are growing. Chatter on right-wing, pro-Trump social media forums has turned increasingly virulent -- and it is unclear whether the President, even if he so chose, could rein it in.\nhttps://wellesleyk12.instructure.com/eportfolios/1225/Home/The_Soul_HD_1080p\nhttps://springfield.instructure.com/eportfolios/21268/Home/___2021\nhttps://placer.instructure.com/eportfolios/2870/Home/The_Soul_2021HD\nhttps://sfps.instructure.com/eportfolios/2299/Home/HD\nhttps://placer.instructure.com/eportfolios/2871/Home/Soul_HD_1080p\nhttps://springfield.instructure.com/eportfolios/21297/Home/___2020\nhttps://sfps.instructure.com/eportfolios/2300/Home/Soull_2020HD\nhttps://wellesleyk12.instructure.com/eportfolios/1228/Home/HD\nhttps://wellesleyk12.instructure.com/eportfolios/1234/Home/A_Little_Red_Flower_HD_1080p\nhttps://springfield.instructure.com/eportfolios/21343/Home/___2020\nhttps://placer.instructure.com/eportfolios/2872/Home/A_Little_Red_Flower_2020HD\nhttps://sfps.instructure.com/eportfolios/2302/Home/HD\nhttps://wellesleyk12.instructure.com/eportfolios/1235/Home/Kill_The_Monster_HD_1080p\nhttps://springfield.instructure.com/eportfolios/21359/Home/___2021\nhttps://placer.instructure.com/eportfolios/2873/Home/Kill_The_Monster_2021HD\nhttps://sfps.instructure.com/eportfolios/2303/Home/HD\nhttps://www.guest-articles.com/news/trumps-final-days-put-the-country-at-a-dangerous-crossroad-10-01-2021\nhttps://idahofalls.medium.com/trumps-final-days-put-the-country-at-a-dangerous-crossroad-eddf2be28cae\n\nJohn Scott-Railton, a senior researcher at the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab, told CNN that his group is seeing evidence that the inauguration could become another flashpoint.\n\"While the broader public was aghast at what happened (Wednesday) at the Capitol, in certain corners of the sort of right wing conversation, what happened,\" he said, \"is viewed as a success.\"\nAfter the failure to protect the Capitol last week, there is new concern on the part of some Democrats that the safety of Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris could be compromised. Even a brief survey of the better known right-wing, pro-Trump online hubs makes clear the severity of the threat -- one that has, for too long, been waved off as anonymous bluster.\nWorries over future violence extend beyond the Capitol and its immediate surroundings. American and United Airlines, with the support of two flight attendants' unions, have taken steps to beef up security in the air and on the ground. Both carriers have increased staffing at DC-area airports, which will also see deployments of Capitol Police ahead of Inauguration Day, and American has put a stop on alcohol service on flights into and out of the region.\nMediaite: Parler CEO says it took down post from Lin Wood calling for Mike Pence's execution \nMediaite: Parler CEO says it took down post from Lin Wood calling for Mike Pence's execution\nMembers of Congress will be provided with increased security -- in a coordinated effort by the Capitol Police, the Sergeant at Arms' office and the US Marshals Service -- while traveling through airports after several senators, including South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham -- who broke with the President last week -- were harassed by other travelers.\nOn the Hill, Democratic lawmakers are beginning to consider their options, understanding that, but for the insurrectionists' brutish bumbling and the actions of some in the rank-and-file of the Capitol police force, the toll could have been much worse. Some have begun to plant the seeds for a root-and-branch review of security at the Capitol, examining not only logistics but the makeup of the personnel entrusted to protect them.\nNew York Rep. Jamaal Bowman is drafting legislation that would form a commission to investigate the Capitol Police, which has in some cases been accused of either standing down too easily or even welcoming -- as in the case of an officer who appeared to pose for a selfie with an insurrectionist -- the mob into the building on Wednesday.\n\"Why was a fascist, white supremacist mob able to overwhelm Capitol Police? Do ties exist between the white supremacists who launched that attack and members of the police force?,\" Bowman tweeted. \"We need answers.\"\nHouse Appropriations Committee member Rep. Grace Meng, also of New York, publicly backed the legislation and Democratic committee leadership, noting its role in funding the force, said in a statement that \"the breach of the Capitol raises serious questions about what law enforcement did and what they should have done differently.\"\nThe Democrats also praised the bravery of some officers, including Brian Sicknick, who died, according to officials, \"due to injuries sustained while on duty.\"\nThe US Attorney's office is planning a federal murder investigation in connection to his death, a law enforcement source told CNN on Friday.\nTrump has not personally commented on his death.",

NOW.\"\n\"we will storm the government buildings, kill cops, kill security guards, kill federal employees and agents, and demand a recount.\"\nIn the weeks, days and hours ahead of Wednesday's siege on the Capitol by President Donald Trump's zealous supporters, the warning signs were clear: online posts from hate groups and right-wing provocateurs agitating for civil war, the deaths of top lawmakers and attacks on law enforcement.\nAnd now, as the dust settles and the country struggles to make sense of the violence that left five dead -- including an officer with the US Capitol Police -- experts warn that the calls for violence have only intensified ahead of Inauguration Day, when President-elect Joe Biden will be sworn in as commander in chief.\n\"We are seeing ... chatter from these white supremacists, from these far-right extremists -- they feel emboldened in this moment,\" said Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, which tracks and counters hate. \"We fully expect that this violence could actually get worse before it gets better.\"\nSupporters of President Donald Trump break into the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 in Washington, DC.\nSupporters of President Donald Trump break into the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 in Washington, DC.\nWednesday's chaos -- which erupted during a protest to dissuade Congress from certifying the results of Biden's unambiguous win -- showed a loss of control and sudden breaking of the bond that for four years had held Trump, his supporters and the Republican leadership together in lockstep.\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/tutupbotol-dalamgelas/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/ndogpuyuh-ditelens/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/kupattahu-ibunegaras/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/podoljeromenstu-mamatasa/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/cilok-cilok-cilok/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/bala-bala-bala/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/belang-nelang-salang/\nhttps://zenodo.org/communities/trondolspeletok-harus-dilakukan/\nhttps://www.guest-articles.com/education/extremists-intensify-calls-for-violence-ahead-of-inauguration-day-09-01-2021\nhttps://www.thewyco.com/news/extremists-intensify-calls-for-violence-ahead-of-inauguration-day-09-01-2021\nhttps://qwedgadgsdsg.medium.com/extremists-intensify-calls-for-violence-ahead-of-inauguration-day-cdbc6999bdbf\n\nAfter rioters charged through a barricade, assaulted police officers, shattered windows and stormed into the hallowed building that was torched by the invading British military in 1814, Trump made a tepid plea for them to go home -- although he repeated the falsehood that the election had been stolen. Republican leaders that night -- including Vice President Mike Pence and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell -- condemned the rioters in the strongest terms.\nBut it all appeared to have little effect on the radicalized right.\n\"Trump WILL be sworn in for a second term on January 20th!!,\" said a commenter on thedonald.win, a pro-Trump online forum, on Thursday, the day after the siege. \"We must not let the communists win. Even if we have to burn DC to the ground. Tomorrow we take back DC and take back our country!!\"",
