UNITED NATIONS (AP) - UN secretary-general says statehood for the Palestinians "is a right, not a reward."

This is amazing. This is how UHNWI wealth should be used for good:

Pretty neat radar evolution w/ #Gabrielle which rapidly intensified into a Cat 4 #hurricane today. An eyewall replacement cycle occurred, but instead of the typical cycle of the inner replacing the outer eyewall, it appears the two eyewalls merged & did not interrupt continued intensification.

The leader of Antifa could not be reached for comment. (because there isn't one)

Trump announced that the FDA will be notifying physicians that use of acetaminophen during pregnancy "can be associated with a very increased risk of autism." However, experts say autism is caused by multiple factors, and the science concerning that connection is not settled. https://cnn.it/4gxLCe6

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
