[WASHINGTON—President Trump is elevating the issue of immigration, which drove his 2016 campaign, with the aim of animating Republican voters in a midterm election that threatens to derail his agenda if Democrats retake the House. Mr. Trump’s latest comments came Thursday as he warned about an “onslaught” of migrants reaching the southern U.S. border with Mexico and threatened to deploy the military if the caravan isn’t stopped.]

Finally a clear understand as to why Trump was elected President. Decling intelligence due to air pollution.
‘Oct. 16, 2018 – Air pollution can have a “huge” negative effect on cognitive intelligence – especially amongst older men – according to a study released this past August.
The research is one of the first of its kind to focus on the links between air pollution and cognition in older people. It was undertaken by scientists at Peking University in Beijing, China and Yale University in the U.S. and was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal. In particular, it found that long-term exposure to air pollution may impede overall cognitive performance. “

Funny how your hating minds have this little diode of logic that only operates in one direction.
That WaPo article was so full of innuendo and nonsense. The folks mentioned in the article pass stuff around all the time about all sorts of political topics. No one even tried to say any of it was untrue. I notice they did not mention all of what was said – only a few selected parts. I’m sure a lot of folks in DC want to know who this dead fellow is and what his background is. WaPo certainly won’t tell the whole story. If Trump immediately went off on the Saudis, the Trump haters would say it confirms he has no tact or diplomacy. The Saudi govt is not like ours. It just might be that Trump is trying to figure out exactly what power factor in the royal family were responsible for this murder.
Reporters – not to mention millions of others in this world are disappeared and killed every year. In China, Mexico and many other countries. It’s pretty obvious this one guy is getting all the attention right now simply as a way of drumming up more hate before the mid terms.

Political murders in the region are so frequent that they hardly register in western media.
This is the real world context where something may have happened to the columnist. Right now the media is running with Turkish rumors. No one has said they have heard the ‘recording’ other than the turks who are a dictatorship that wants a return to the caliphate who are not trustworthy.
