‘Sometimes you have to walk’: Trump leaves Hanoi with no deal

Source: www.eastidahonews.com - Thursday, February 28, 2019 (CNN) — President Donald Trump’s Hanoi summit with Kim Jong Un , meant to demonstrate his diplomatic gamble with North Korea is working, instead ended with no joint agreement after Kim insisted all US sanctions be lifted on his country. That was a bridge too far for the US President, who said Kim offered to take some steps toward dismantling his nuclear arsenal but not enough to warrant ending the debilitating sanctions regime on the country. “Sometimes you have to walk,” Trump said during a news conference following the conclusion of the summit, which broke up earlier than planned. “This was just one of those times.” But it was evident from early in the summit that Trump was seeking to tamp down expectations, repeating he’s in no rush to strike a deal even as North Korea continues to advance its nuclear weapons program. “I’ve been saying very much from the beginning that speed is not that important to me,” Trump said earlie...

An NBA Youth Academy Is The Best Solution For Tanking And The One-And-Done

Source: uproxx.com - Thursday, February 28, 2019 Getty Image The NBA community has the same discussions about the draft, one-and-done rule, and the issue of tanking every single year. The league has instituted new draft lottery reforms that will go into effect this summer, with odds smoothing to lessen the reward for having the worst record in an effort to get teams to try harder and not tank — the teams with the three-worst records all have a 14 percent chance at the top pick. That may have worked to an extent, as teams like the Hawks and Bulls have been more competitive recently, possibly due to not feeling as pressured to chase after the worst record in the league. Still, teams like the Knicks and Suns are abysmal and, so long as the lottery exists, there will be incentive to have a worse record. On top of the ever-present tanking discussion, the one-and-done rule is soon to be done away with, as the league has filed an official proposal to begin negotiations with the NBPA to roll...

Trump Covers for Kim Jong Un on Otto Warmbier’s Death: ‘I Really Don’t Believe He Knew About It’

Source: www.mediaite.com - Thursday, February 28, 2019 President Donald Trump says he doesn’t believe North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un knew about what happened to American student Otto Warmbier during a press conference that occurred in Hanoi very early Thursday morning EST. “Those prisons are rough, and bad things happen, but I really don’t believe [Kim Jong Un] knew about it.” Warmbier is an American student who was imprisoned in North Korea after he was charged with stealing one of the communist regime’s propaganda posters and was released after being detained in North Korea for approximately 17 months. Almost immediately after arriving back in the United States, Warmbier passed away as it was announced he had been in a coma for almost a year. Trump clarified on Kim’s role, saying “I don’t believe he would have allowed that,” and “he felt very badly about it.” Echoing words he said of Russian President Vladimir Putin about Russia’s role in interfering in the 2016 election, Trump ad...

Testimony continues on third day of Nouman Raja manslaughter trial

Source: www.local10.com - Thursday, February 28, 2019 Testimony continues Thursday as a former South Florida police officer stands trial for killing a stranded black motorist.

Chris Karpinski told jurors Wednesday there are discrepancies between the statements Nouman Raja told him and others four hours after the Oct. 18, 2015, shooting, and a recording of a phone call Corey Jones, 31, was making to a tow truck dispatch center. The former Palm Beach Gardens police officer shot and killed Jones, who was stranded on the side of an Interstate 95 exit ramp after his SUV had broken down.

Mission Not Accomplished: Trump Bails on Hanoi Summit Early With No Deal

Source: www.mediaite.com - Thursday, February 28, 2019 President Donald Trump left Hanoi, Vietnam early on Thursday after denuclearization talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un broke down. Trump said at a presser that the talks failed when North Korea demanded all sanctions be lifted — “and we couldn’t do that.” The disagreement prompted the cancellation of a working lunch and joint agreement signing ceremony and Trump’s early departure on Air Force One. “Actually I think it was a very productive two days, but sometimes you just have to walk,” Trump told reporters, which you can watch above. The two sides “couldn’t even agree on the definition of denuclearization,” explained CNN senior correspondent Michelle Kosinski from Hanoi. “This is proof that President Trump’s insistence on this top-down approach to this extremely complicated decades-long problem is not necessarily going to work out the way he expects.” “They couldn’t even finish this summit and have lunch together,” she ad...

2020 Democratic Presidential Hopefuls Support Marijuana Legalization Bill

Source: www.knau.org - Thursday, February 28, 2019 New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, one of half a dozen Democratic senators running for the White House, is reintroducing a bill on Thursday that would fundamentally end the federal government's prohibition on marijuana. The Marijuana Justice Act , which was first introduced by Booker in August of 2017, seeks to make marijuana legal at the federal level by removing it from the list of controlled substances, while also expunging the convictions of previous marijuana drug offenders and reinvesting in low-income and minority communities that were particularly hard hit by the federal government's war on drugs. Some other senators running for president are co-sponsors of the legislation, including Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., Kamala Harris, D-Calif., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., as well as Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley, who is considering a bid.

What if the bad guy wasn’t just morally complicated but, in the end, was right, with the end of the world raining down nuclear fire on everyone? These ideas are interesting. Too bad Far Cry 5 handled those ideas with the grace of a tipsy goose. Joseph Seed’s Manbunny version of David Koresh is far more annoying than intriguing, and the game zig-zagged from any deep thematic storytelling its cult-ish premise presented at nearly every opportunity. Far Cry 5 could have been an engaging and disturbing take on modern America. That it settled for so less still bums me out a year later . But let’s not belabor the point, yeah? I only want to talk about Far Cry 5’s failings to the point that I can discuss something that New Dawn does really well. So the s...

Seattle’s Jayapal to introduce Medicare for All bill in Congress

Source: www.columbian.com - Wednesday, February 27, 2019 SEATTLE — U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal is introducing a Medicare for All bill that would create a government-funded, single-payer health-care system to cover every person in the United States. The proposal, which has 107 co-sponsors, is even more ambitious in scope — covering more services, more quickly — than the Medicare for All bill previously proposed by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. And it comes not from a two-time presidential candidate, but from Jayapal, a second-term Seattle Democrat who’s fast becoming an influential leader of national progressives. Jayapal, the co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, leads a group of 96 House members that’s begun to assert significant sway on the Democratic Party. In January, Jayapal garnered better committee assignments for her caucus in exchange for supporting Rep. Nancy Pelosi as House speaker. Then she extracted a guarantee that her Medicare for All bill would get hearings in...

The millennial force: changing the workplace and its culture

Source: e27.co - Wednesday, February 27, 2019 Dartboards, mini golf and ping pong — welcome to the office of the future Born between 1979 and 2000, millennials are rapidly redefining how everyone lives, plays and works. Concepts like the sharing economy have established new norms in how we commute (Uber and Grab) and how we live (Airbnb). At work, millennials are becoming increasingly influential and are on track to make up 75 per cent of the global workforce by 2025. The millennial perception For a long time, millennial working habits and traits have been a topic of much conversation and debate, mostly misunderstood for their different approach and style to working. Earlier generations have labelled them disloyal and entitled. In many workplaces, corporate culture is traditionally top-down and rigid, with mandated working hours, seating arrangements, and stipulated lunch breaks. According to a study by Intelligence Group, millennials aspire to be their own boss, enjoy flexible workin...

Source: www.newsbusters.org - Wednesday, February 27, 2019 Despite Michael Cohen’s shady history and federal conviction for lying to Congress, the liberal broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) hung on his every word following Wednesday’s hearing before the Democratic-led House Oversight Committee.
