The “first wave” of the long caravan of Central American migrants first arrived at the U.S./Mexico border on Wednesday and as CBS Evening News reported that evening, they were “straining the resources” Tijuana. It wasn’t until Sunday’s Good Morning America that ABC acknowledged the caravan’s arrival. And in doing so, they downplayed the pressure it was putting on the city and its overall effect, while whining about it having too much influence during the 2018 midterm elections.
On Friday, far-left comedian Amy Schumer announced that the reason no one would be seeing her in Super Bowl ads next year was that she was boycotting on behalf of mediocre quarterback Colin Kaepernick. During Sunday’s Good Morning America, ABC’s liberal anchors celebrated Schumer’s decision and were interested in seeing if her “peer pressure” would cause a larger “celebrity boycott” of commercials and the halftime show.
At a recent campaign rally in Elko, Nevada, President Trump told the crowd that Democrats were “openly inviting millions of illegal aliens to break our laws, violate our borders and overwhelm our nation. The Democrats want caravans. They like the caravans.” On Sunday, the liberal journalists of ABC’s Good Morning America were irritated that Trump would call them out and claimed there was no proof of that and said the allegation was “unfounded”.
Monday morning ABC and CBS reported on the two women who cornered Republican Senator Jeff Flake on an elevator as he was going to the Judiciary Committee vote to confirm Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh. While CBS This Morning briefly mentioned one of these women, Ana Maria Archila, was a liberal activist, ABC’s Good Morning America completely avoided that fact. Both networks joined the rest of the media in hailing Archila as a “hero” and “survivor” instead of a partisan with a politically motivated agenda.
The FBI investigation into the sexual harassment allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh was only a couple days old and the liberal media already had the heavy equipment out to dig up the goalpost. Despite spending roughly a week comparing Kavanaugh’s confirmation to that of Justice Clarence Thomas and touting the speedy FBI investigation then, Sunday’s Good Morning America worried it was “overly restricted”. They were also eager to know what happens if Kavanaugh was the one caught lying.
Carrie Underwood celebrates Mike Fisher wedding anniversary: "Here's to 8 years"
Carrie Underwood is celebrating eight years of marriage with Mike Fisher.
The 35-year-old singer and former "American Idol" winner marked the occasion Tuesday by dedicating a sweet post to the 38-year-old former NHL player.
Underwood shared two photos of herself with the former Nashville Predators center. One picture shows the couple smiling for the camera, while the other shows them about to share a kiss.
"Here's to 8 years, babe! Where does the time go?!" Underwood captioned the post.
"I love you today more than yesterday... which was more than the day before... and so on and so forth. Here's to many more years together! [Love] you!"
Underwood and Fisher are parents 3-year-old son Isaiah Michael.
Underwood shared a cute photo with Isaiah this month after Fisher brought the toddler to see her perform at a concert in Atlantic City, N.J.
Underwood returned to the stage in April after breaking her wrist and injuring her face in a fall at home in November.
She discussed the incident in May after telling fans she required more than 40 stitches in her face.
"Plain and simple, it was just kind of a freak accident," the star said in an interview with "Today."
"I just fell, I just tripped taking my dogs out to do their business. It could have happened to anybody."
"In the beginning, I didn't know how things were going to end up. It just wasn't pretty," she added.
Underwood will release her sixth studio album, "Cry Pretty," on Sept. 14.

He noted that approximately 64,000 people nationwide died from drug overdoses in 2016, roughly the population of Portland, Maine's largest city.
Sessions says that the drug crisis is a "top priority" for the Trump administration as powerful fentanyl increases the stakes.
Outside, about 200 demonstrators gathered outside of the buildings that house offices of the U.S. attorney and FBI to criticize Trump administration policies including forced separations of families at the Mexican border.
Two women, one from Maine, one from New York, were arrested for criminal trespass when they blocked a garage entrance and refused to leave, police said.
Catch G. Love & Special Sauce at Crystal Bay Casino on Thursday, March 29.
Crystal Bay Casino’s packed week of entertainment continues with a performance from multi-genre musicians G. Love & Special Sauce on Thursday, March 29. The trio, known for its brand of hip-hop blues, formed in 1993 and has released nine studio albums together to date (the latest of which is a Christmas record that dropped this past December).
G. Love & Special Sauce’s most recent non-holiday album, “Love Saves the Day,” debuted in 2015 and features their iconic “down and dirty ‘trashcan blues’ sound,” according to a press release.
“They recorded live with few edits to capture the immediacy of the music: G. Love making his guitar snarl and his harmonica moan, bassist Prescott bringing nimble funk to the bottom end and Clemens’ drum work crackling with power,” continues the release.
The concert is sure to get audiences dancing with G. Love & Special Sauce’s heavy grooves and authentic performances.
“G. Love proudly describes himself as a road dog who ‘will be touring until I fall off the earth’ and plans to keep on pushing with Special Sauce from stage to stage,” states the release.
“Love Saves the Day” embodies everything that G. Love wants from his music: “It stands as a huge success because he made the gritty, honest album that he intended by ‘keeping it raw, keeping it immediate, keeping it real.’ It’s an approach that he has honed over the years: ‘be original and be true to what you do,’” concludes the press release.
The three musicians take the stage eat Crystal Bay Casino Thursday, March 29, at 8 p.m. Tickets, available at http://www.crystalbaycasino.com (along with more details), cost $35 plus ticket fees.

If you want to major in Latin, Western Michigan University offers two options for you. The first is a language, literature and culture program leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree from the College of Arts and Sciences. The second is also a language, literature and culture program, but it leads to a teaching degree from the College of Education and Human Development.
Both options include a strong focus on Roman culture. Basic coursework covers fundamental, intermediate and advanced Latin, Latin literature, and Greek and Roman mythology or ancient literature in English translation. To round out your program, you will choose electives with the help of your advisor. Electives may include Basic Greek I and II, and Romans on Film. The education curriculum is similar to the arts and sciences curriculum, but provides you with an additional course in Latin literature and training that will prepare you to teach the language at the middle and high school levels.
If you are interested in earning Latin credits through participation in a study abroad program, you must meet with an advisor well in advance of such study to plan properly and obtain approval for credits to be taken as part of the required or elective hours for the major.
Class action suit members got an early New Year�s surprise yesterday when Worcester Superior Court Judge Janet Kenton-Walker denied Fitchburg Gas & Electric-Unitil�s motion to move their case out of Worcester County.
The utility company claimed that �due to the widespread effects of the ice storm and the extensive media coverage,� it would not be able to receive a fair trial in Worcester County and that the jury pool would be biased.
The company also claimed that potential Worcester County jurors were in the same class as the plaintiffs, as they also had experienced the ice storm firsthand and would be biased.
The judge said the company failed to establish a factual foundation for this claim, and many residents of southern Worcester County did not suffer the same outages and damages residents in the northern sector of the county did.
The company would not comment because of the pending litigation.
�We felt that it was an appropriate decision by Judge Kenton-Walker. Our research found only one civil case where it was allowed and it was in a small community where all could have been considered class members,� Fitchburg lawyer Edwin H. Howard said.
�The judge hit the nail on the head, even if 40 to 50 percent of the pool is prejudiced, that still leaves plenty of people that are not. It�s a decision we expected and hoped for and we believe the judge has a good understanding of the case and the law,� said Mr. Howard.
Cathy Driscoll-Clarke of Lunenburg spearheaded the effort to publicize the utility company�s response to the December 2008 ice storm and power outages in the communities of Lunenburg, Fitchburg, Townsend and Ashby that lasted up to two weeks for some residents.
She and a group of local residents formed the Get Rid of Unitil group that has gathered petitions with thousands of signatures, and attended and testified at Department of Public Utilities hearings over the past year.
Ms. Driscoll-Clarke is also a member of the class action suit.
�This is one more baby step in the right direction, and we applaud the judge for carefully looking at all the facts and information relevant to this case,� she said.
Evan Spiegel, CEO of Snap, which held an extremely abbreviated annual meeting on Thursday.
Snap held its annual shareholder meeting on Thursday.
It was a brief affair, lasting less than three minutes.
The duration and format of the meeting demonstrated CEO Evan Spiegel's control over the company.
Evan Spiegel just demonstrated another one of the great perks of being king — short meetings that you don't even have to attend in person.
Spiegel's company, Snap, held its annual shareholder meeting on Thursday afternoon. While such affairs can be long, drawn out, and contentious, that wasn't the case here. Snap's was held online, and — lacking the typical management presentation and question-and-answer period with shareholders — it lasted less than three minutes.
If you really want to listen to the two-minute-and-forty-six-second webcast, you can find it here.
There's a reason for that. Thanks to Snap's stock structure, those everyday stockholders with Class A shares have absolutely no voting power. So, they get no say in setting the agenda for Snap's annual meeting, much less directing its policies or determining its leadership.
Instead, the only people who have say over those matters are the insiders and early investors who hold Snap's Class B stock, which get 1 vote per share, and Class C stock, which get 10 votes per share. Nearly all of the Class C shares are held by Spiegel and cofounder Robert Murphy. Thanks to that, between the two of them, they control nearly 94% of the votes at the company.
That gives them the power to do whatever they want at the company's annual meeting. In this case, they limited it to two agenda items — reelecting Snap's board, and reappointing Ernst & Young as its auditor. Needless to say, both items passed.
And they did so apparently without either Spiegel or Murphy actually participating in the meeting or interacting with shareholders. Although Spiegel and Murphy were reportedly on the call, the only person who spoke on it was Atul Porwal, Snap's associate general counsel. And he was done after 2 minutes and 46 seconds.
To be fair, Porwal did say the company hadn't received any questions from stockholders. One might think that with the company still trading well below its initial public offering price, still posting large losses, and coming under increasing pressure from Facebook's Instagram, investors might have been more inquisitive about its direction and leadership. But it's possible that everyday investors were stymied by the form of the meeting — a streaming webcast, which didn't provide them a way to interject with a question should one have come to mind during its duration.
One other bonus of giving regular shareholders no votes: Snap didn't even have to send out the typical proxy statement to solicit votes from them or detail shareholder proposals. Instead, it only sent out an information statement that described the two proposals and gave a brief list of questions and answers about the meeting.
The agency said rebuilding will cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
The death toll from the earthquake that rocked the Indonesian island of Lombok a week ago has passed 430, and the government is estimating economic losses of at least several hundred million dollars.
The national disaster agency said on Monday that the August 5 quake killed 436 people, most of whom died in collapsing buildings.
It said damage to homes, infrastructure and other property is at least five trillion rupiah (£268 million), calling that a temporary figure that will rise as more assessments are made.
The magnitude 7.0 earthquake flattened thousands of homes and, according to the disaster agency’s latest estimate, has displaced about 350,000 people.
“The damage and losses are very large,” said disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho.
“When all data has been collected later, the amount will be greater. It needs trillions of rupiah for rehabilitation and reconstruction. It will take time to restore community life and economic development,” he said.
Mr Nugroho said damaged roads were hindering access to isolated mountainous areas and helicopters had been deployed by the disaster agency, the military and the search and rescue agency to distribute aid.
Lombok, a popular but less developed tourist destination than neighbouring Bali, was hit by three strong quakes in little over a week and has endured more than 500 aftershocks.
Indonesia is prone to earthquakes because of its location on the Ring of Fire, an arc of volcanoes and fault lines in the Pacific Basin.
Victoria Beckham paid tribute to husband David Beckham on Sunday, Father's Day, more than a week after they were the target of divorce rumors.
The fashion designer and Spice Girls member and the soccer star had denied the split reports immediately after they came out.
On Sunday, Victoria posted on Instagram a photo of David with their three youngest children—sons Romeo Beckham, 15, Cruz Beckham, 13 and daughter Harper Beckham, 6.
"I think they love him x," Victoria wrote. "Truly the best daddy @davidbeckham x missing u @brooklynbeckham x.
David and Victoria, also parents to 19-year-old son Brooklyn Beckham, had stepped out together at a fashion event two days after the divorce rumors surfaced.
Victoria supported her husband at the private Kent & Curwen spring/summer 2019 capsule collection fashion show and lunch. He has a branded collection with the company. The two showed some PDA at the event.
"So proud of @davidbeckham @daniel.kearns @kentandcurwen X beautiful collection x kisses @edward_enninful @mrkimjones VB," Victoria wrote on Instagram at the time.
The next major holiday is set to become a double celebration for Victoria and David; the Fourth of July will mark their 19th wedding anniversary.
Julia Patz says she has avoided the courtroom out of fear the descriptions of her son's murder would leave her sleepless.
Reuters - The mother of a New York boy missing since 1979 took the witness stand in the trial of his accused murderer on Tuesday, telling the jury that she has avoided the courtroom out of fear the descriptions of the crime would leave her sleepless.
Pedro Hernandez, 54, is on trial for kidnapping and murder in a case that hinges on his confession to police in 2012 that he choked 6-year-old Etan Patz, stuffed him in a box and left him in a New York alley.
Patz vanished as he walked alone for the first time to a school bus stop in his Manhattan neighborhood on May 25, 1979. His disappearance sparked a national movement to find missing children, with his picture one of the first to appear on milk cartons.
Defense attorneys say Hernandez's confession was coerced by police. They say he is mentally ill, intellectually disabled and suffers from hallucinations.
In state Supreme Court in Manhattan, Julia Patz said she had avoided attending the trial except for her initial testimony on Feb. 2.
"I chose not to subject myself to hear the details of the alleged confessions," she said.
Patz said if she heard the disturbing details, they would be etched in her mind and leave her unable to sleep.
Prosecutors asked her about Jose Antonio Ramos, who defense attorneys say is the real killer. Ramos' girlfriend walked Etan Patz to school during a school bus strike, and for years Ramos was the prime suspect.
Ramos has said he had been inside the Patz family's apartment, according to investigators in the case, but the boy's mother disputed that claim.
He had never been in their home and his girlfriend was never left there alone babysitting, she said.
Ramos told investigators he sexually molested a young boy in 1979 who may have been Patz, according to trial testimony. Ramos has said that afterward he put the boy on a subway.
Patz has never been found, and he was declared dead in 2001.
Hernandez was questioned and arrested in 2012 after police got a tip that he confessed to the crime to a church prayer group in New Jersey.
Trial testimony is expected to conclude next week.
If convicted, Hernandez faces the possibility of life in prison. He has not testified at his trial.
WRIGHTWOOD – Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and U.S. Forestry Service officials have closed the Broken Blade, Twisted Arrow, and Pima Loops of the Table Mountain Campgrounds in the Angeles National Forest after tests confirmed that one ground squirrel trapped on July 16, during routine surveillance activities tested positive on July 23 for plague. The sites were officially closed at 1:00 p.m. Wednesday, and will be closed for at least 7 days. Campers at the site have been notified of the closure by Forest Service officials.
The campgrounds and recreational areas are located about two miles northwest of Wrightwood. In coordination with the Los Angeles County Department of Agriculture/Weights and Measures, the squirrel burrows in the area will be dusted for fleas. Further testing of squirrels will be done before the area is re-opened to the public.
“Plague is a bacterial infection that can be transmitted to humans through the bites of infected fleas, which is why we close affected campgrounds and recreational areas as a precaution while preventive measures are taken to control the flea population,” said Dr. Jonathan E. Fielding, director of Public Health and Health Officer of Los Angeles County. “It is important for the public to know that there have only been four cases of human plague in Los Angeles County residents since 1984, none of which were fatal,” Fielding said. Plague has been known to reside in the ground squirrels population in the San Gabriel Mountains. Previous routine surveillance identified one plague-positive ground squirrel in 2010 from the Los Alamos campgrounds in Gorman; one in 2007 and two in 1996 from the Stoneyvale Picnic Area near La Ca?ada/Flintridge; and one plague-positive ground squirrel from an adjacent campground in Vogel Flats in 1995. Transmission of plague through flea bites causes bubonic plague, with symptoms including enlargement of lymph glands (buboes) near the flea bite and rapid onset of fever and chills. Untreated bubonic plague can progress to infection of the blood, or rarely, the lungs, causing pneumonic plague. All forms of the disease can be fatal if not treated; however, most patients respond well to antibiotic therapy. Individuals visiting recreational areas near the Broken Blade, Twisted Arrow, and Pima Loops of the Table Mountain Campgrounds need to take certain precautions to avoid contact with wild animals that could be carrying plague-positive fleas. Visitors to recreational areas should not feed wild animals, not leave edible trash out where wild animals can get to it, avoid camping or picnicking in the immediate vicinity of ground squirrel burrows, and should avoid taking pets into areas where they could be exposed to fleas. If you must take your pet into areas with fleas, please ensure your pet has appropriate flea control and vaccinations, as recommended by a veterinarian. “Protection with an insect repellant containing DEET is also recommended for persons visiting the Angeles National Forest and engaging in outside recreational activities in other areas of LA County,” said Dr. Fielding. “Insect repellant can help protect people against fleas, mosquitoes, and ticks. Products containing DEET are not safe for use on pets.” Members of the public who see dead ground squirrels in recreational areas, or who want more information about precautions should contact the LA County Department of Public Health, Vector Management Program at (626) 430-5450.
