Abramovich is latest Russian oligarch to move to Israel

By ARON HELLER

1 hour ago

JERUSALEM (AP) — The sudden immigration to Israel of Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich makes him the latest in a string of Jewish Russian oligarchs who have made a home in the country in recent years. Abramovich received his Israeli citizenship Monday upon arriving in Israel on his private jet, immediately becoming the country’s richest person, with an estimated net worth of more than $11 billion. Israel grants automatic citizenship to anyone of Jewish descent.

The Chelsea football club owner made the move after his British visa was not renewed, apparently as part of British authorities’ efforts to crack down on associates of Russian President Vladimir Putin. https://apnews.com/a0d4be6b2d334d9ab4560d29b43fcf2a

Bing Crosby Records "White Christmas," Best-Selling Single of All Time (1942)

Composed by legendary songwriter Irving Berlin, "White Christmas" has been recorded by numerous singers. By far, the best-known version is performed by Crosby. However, it is not his 1942 recording that American audiences hear endlessly during Christmastime, but rather the re-recording he made in 1947. The song was further popularized by the film of the same name—starring Crosby—released in 1954. How many copies is Crosby's "White Christmas" single estimated to have sold worldwide?

Trump "Dynamite's" North Korean Talks - Got Cold Feet

WEST SACRAMENTO CA (IFS) -- Once again the talk show audience had it right.
With arguments by her audience for the talks and those against the talks --
Randi Rhodes, et al., was right once again -- with Trump finding any little thing to
"stay home".

Rhodes predicted the outcome -- that Donald J. Trump would not and -- did not disappoint usat all. He was way above his own "publicity" stunts, and over his head in deep cold water
dealing with "real problems."

And yet again, he throws Mike Pompeo under the bus -- and driving over him several times.
And these "Fools On The Hill" still love and worship this crazy man as he destroys
The United States of America in real time.

"What Comes Around, Goes Around." Trump preached several days ago.
What Goes Around is a dog chasing his "tale", selling "Wolf Tickets" and crying that the sky isfalling. And the craziest thing -- it really is falling around President Trump.

It's raining problems all around, and you have jokers to the left of you --
pushing you over the bridge. History will just show President Trump and all
of his failed chances at doing the right things.

What a victory for Kim Jong Un.

It was going to be "Peace In The Valley" or total Swords crossing the unknown, just as
John Bolton wants its. President Un had all of the marbles and was prepared on all fronts.
President Trump, on the other hand, did not know his position and what the meeting
was going to be about -- "Clueless, In The White House", let along he did not know
anything about Un.

Trump cancels nuclear summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un

President Trump on Thursday canceled a planned summit next month with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, citing “tremendous anger and open hostility” from the rogue nation in a letter explaining his abrupt decision.

“I feel it is inappropriate, at this time, to have this long-planned meeting,” Trump said to Kim in a letter released by the White House on Thursday morning.

The summit — which had the potential to be a major diplomatic victory for Trump — had been planned for June 12 in Singapore.

Speaking later at the White House, Trump sounded a bellicose note, relaying that the U.S. military is “ready if necessary” to take action against North Korea if it engages in a “foolish or reckless act” and that South Korea and Japan are willing to shoulder the costs.

At the same, Trump made clear that he is keeping open the possibility of a summit at a future date.

“While many things can happen and a great opportunity lies ahead potentially, I believe this is a tremendous setback for North Korea and indeed a setback for the world,” Trump said, adding that the United States would continue to impose tough economic sanctions.

South Korea’s government seemed blindsided by Trump’s announcement.

“We are attempting to make sense of what, precisely, President Trump means,” said government spokesman Kim Eui-kyeom.

Chikesia Clemons - Violent Arrest of Black Woman at Waffle House Sparks Protests The customer was tackled to the ground in a scuffle after refusing to pay extra for utensils

WEST SACRAMENTO CA (IFS) -- The Ups and Downs of the Waffle House Chain. From having a hero at one store, to total disgrace by the police in another one. Her name is Chikesia Clemons, and she is be brutalized by the police for asking why she should pay for utensils for her food order. The violence is compacted by these "crazy racist white cops" as they undressed her and pushed her nude body onto the ground. This is not normal people. This is an assault and battery by the police and no one is speaking out about this salvage attack.

Waffle House

by Daniela Galarza Apr 23, 2018, 1:16pm

A Waffle House customer was tackled to the ground and arrested after refusing to pay extra for utensils, according to the Washington Post. The incident took place on Sunday, less than two weeks after the arrests of two black customers at Starbucks — which also spurred protests with calls of hypocrisy directed at the coffee company — and on the same day as a shooting at a Waffle House in Nashville, Tennessee.

A partial video of the situation shows officers grabbing 25-year-old Chikesia Clemons’s neck and wrist. After a scuffle, her top falls off of her upper body, exposing her chest. She ends up on the floor while trying to explain the disagreement she had with employees. Clemons’s mother told Al.com that she had refused to pay an extra 50 cents for set of plastic cutlery.

“What are you doing?” Clemons asks, on the video.

“I’ll break your arm, that’s what I’m about to do,” an officer says. The officer then puts his hand on her neck.

“You’re choking me!” Clemons says.

Protesters filled the Waffle House location in Alabama on Sunday afternoon.

The president of the Mobile, Alabama, division of the NAACP told Al.com that “in light of the current situation in our country — such as the arrest of two young black men at a Philadelphia Starbucks coffee shop — we felt it was important for our members to get a first-hand account of the incident, which has now gone viral on social media locally and across the country.”

Waffle House is well-known as a 24-hour hangout that attracts people of all backgrounds, similar to Starbucks’ marketing of itself as a welcoming “third-place.”

According to the Post, it is not clear who initiated the disagreement, who called the police (the local police department didn’t return a request for comment), or how Clemons ended up on the floor. One protester was also arrested yesterday, during the sit-in.

Woodland CA Police Officer S Reeser - ID-2093 Lies on Police Reports About Alleged "Abandon" Cars in City

WEST SACRAMENTO CA (IFS) -- It appears that the citizens of Woodland California are experiencing some dishonesty when this Officer S. Reeser places these "notices" upon one's vehicle. As we are slowly moving our parents' personal effects from the house and the property, this writers' personal vehicle was under surveillance by this officer, who placed the above "notice" upon my vehicle.

As stated before, we have been removing items from the house into this vehicle daily, and this "sticky" was discovered on the morning of April 17, 2018, and not on April 11, 2018, as stated upon the driver's side window. The weather in Woodland has been very "damp", and this "notice" above would have been "washed out" and unable to read.

This writers vehicle is fully licensed and insured to the bone, but this does not matter, as he stated that all vehicles on public city streets must be moved every 72 hours. This is all well and good. As this writer rides his bicycle around the city, he observes many vehicles that have been stationary in front of their owner's homes for months, and not one notification has been spotted on these cars.

The irony of all of this -- we have been placing items into the vehicle to be towed back to our Arizona Ranch location - every day. On or about April 16th, this note was placed upon the car with this date of April 11, 2018, at 9:30am.

This writer, quickly called the Woodland Police Department asking for Officer Reeser, and within an hour, Officer Reeser and his partner appeared at my parents home, and we began to have this conversation about this "sticker", and within minutes, it did not turn out too well, with this writer asking Officer Reeser, to write him out a citation to appear in court, to which -- he refused, twice.

Officer Reeser loves to spout State of California and city laws about vehicles and this writer challenged him to issue a ticket for court. Everyone in the conversation realized that if he had written this writer a citation for a court day -- he was going to lose for lying about the placement and the day and date of the sticker.

Being a "retired" officer of the court -- this writer understands "protocols" and quickly surmised, that the "cover-up" is greater than the crime, as to the placement of the "notice" upon the vehicle, and it appears that this is a "practice" by the local city police to obtain cars for their local auction. -KHS

Several Hollywood and Silicon Valley heavy hitters recently ditched the Facebook social network

For over a month, Facebook has been dealing with the PR nightmare sparked by its admission that the data of up to 87 million users was secretly accessed by consulting firm Cambridge Analytica, and later used to help Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. The slip up sparked the #DeleteFacebook hashtag, in which people on Twitter and other spaces announce they're doing precisely that. Facebook has tried to course-correct with new security measures, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg agreeing to testify before Congress. But that wasn't enough to keep some A-listers from joining #DeleteFacebook. Here's a look at the celebs that have dropped their profiles (so far).

Elon Musk didn't seem to hesitate when a Twitter follower dared him to delete the Facebook profile for SpaceX, his rocket company. Not only did Musk axe the SpaceX page (claiming he wasn't aware one even existed,) he also deleted the Tesla page as well, saying it "looks lame anyway." The two accounts combined had about 5 million followers.

Cher tweeted that it was "VERY HARD" to delete her account, because of the "amazing young Ppl there." But delete it she did. If only Facebook could turn back time (I'll show myself out).The Goddess of Pop must've been talking about her personal page only, however, because her commercial page is still live. Guess it's hard to delete those 2.4 million followers.

The OG of #DeleteFacebook, Jim Carrey was off the social network even before the Cambridge Analytica news made it cool. Carrey dumped his Facebook stock and ditched his profile back in February, because the company "profited from Russian interference in our elections and they’re still not doing enough to stop it."

Alright, Woz didn't technically delete his profile. The Apple co-founder said he was too worried about losing ownership of the "stevewoz” handle. But he deactivated the account, saying Facebook has a one-way relationship with its users. “The profits are all based on the user’s info, but the users get none of the profits back," Woz told USA Today.

Deleting Facebook is so hot right now, at least according to Will Ferrell. The "Anchorman" star erased his profile at the end of March, saying on his page "Cambridge Analytica's misuse of millions of Facebook users' information in order to undermine our democracy and infringe on our citizens' 'privacy'" was the reason for his exodus.

Singer Roseanne Cash, daughter of country great Johnny Cash, announced on March 29 that she would delete her Facebook account the next day. That remains to be seen, however: the page is still live as of April 9.

On April 12, Susan Sarandon announced she was quitting Facebook via Instagram(which is also owned by Facebook), posting a quote by Charles Bukowski that begins, "Censorship is the tool of those who have the need to hide actualities from themselves and from others."
