[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.]

About time –
An administration official confirmed on Friday that during his meetings next week with Russian officials, National Security Adviser John Bolton will inform Russia that the U.S. intends to pull out of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Treaty, also known as the INF.
“Across two administrations, the United States and our allies have attempted to bring Russia back into full and verifiable compliance with INF,” said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “Despite our objections, Russia continues to produce and field prohibited cruise missiles and has ignored calls for transparency.”
Earlier this month, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Russia’s deployment of nuclear-capable missiles in violation of an arms treaty was “untenable,” and that without changes by Moscow, the U.S. would have to match that military capability.

George at 1:29 – The importance of whether or not K had anything to do with the MB is that K must now be seen as a boy scout cub reporter who was slaughtered by Trump-obeying arabs as part of Trumps war on reporters. And since Trump hasn’t started nuking Saudi Arabia, it proves he is jiggy with what happened in Turkey.
There is no proof any conservative has said or implied that it was acceptable for K to be killed.
None.
But if you bring up one single fact about his life or beliefs that could somehow be seen as negative, the lefty-wackos go right into a swoon that it proves you wanted him cut up alive.
There’s a whisper campaign alright. It’s a smear against Trump and conservatives by the left.
The fact is that the MB has repeatedly called for the overthrow of the Saudi govt. If K had been seen by the Saudis as an enemy to be feared, then it would make sense that they might want him dead.
For the left wing yahoos that just woke up today, there are govts all over the world that do this on a routine basis. None of us like this fact, but to try to pin this suddenly on Trump and conservatives is just ignorant and vile.
K worked for WaPo and WaPo hates Trump. I have long ago given up on expecting anything but partisan bile from Trump haters.

“The negative trend in math readiness is a red flag for our country, given the growing importance of math and science skills in the increasingly tech-driven US and global job market,” said ACT CEO Marten Roorda. “It is vital that we turn this trend around for the next generation and make sure students are learning the math skills they need for success in college and career.”

The whole country has been going down the wrong path in math education for at least the last 35 years. Increasingly bad pedagogies taught to increasingly weak students for them to use with increasingly bad instructional materials/textbooks when they take their places in K-12 classrooms to further weaken the next generation.
One of the problems is that many of the people we’ve hired to teach math don’t know their arse from a hole in the ground. For example, talking to a fellow who is very full of himself who owns a couple of ramp rats (planes that have not been airworthy for a number of years, yet is deluded that he’ll figure out a way to get them fixed with the money he has to blow) told me proudly his job down the hill (Marysville/Yuba City) is to teach a prealgebra class to the kiddies… but he didn’t have a clue how to convert a repeating decimal to a ratio of integers.
This I learned in an East of LA (SoCal, not Louisiana) public school in the 5th grade, maybe the 6th. Not the eighth grade he was teaching, or the 17 years of education on the public dime that this “teacher” warmed a seat for to get his $80k job.
I’m sure the folks who hired him checked that he had the credential suitable for his tasks. But they don’t have a clue, either.
