8-year-old boy raises over $50k for homeless vets, Richard Nixon responsible for FoxNews, Why Do Democrats Suck? A I Dream of Jeannie reboot, Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Officially Canceled, and much more for November 36, 2019


The Question for Democrats: Why Do You Suck?
There’s a debate tonight? Nov 20? Who knew?
(I sure as hell won’t be watching it. Although that’s all we’ll get in tomorrow’s news.)
The suckage factor is the unmistakable context of tonight’s Democratic debate in Atlanta. All the candidates, to one degree or another, are laboring with a hovering perception among Democratic influentials that, for one reason or another, their candidacies are suffering from fundamental infirmities.
Aren’t we so lucky as what the Boob Tube has to offer us these days?
The Impeachment Circus followed by the Dimocrap Klown Kar.

Students Ditch Their Phones For a Week, Report Feeling Happier & More Refreshed
“I’m having a lot of better relationships.”
Professor Donna Freitas questioned the damage smartphones were doing to young people’s lives.
“The fact that no one can focus, that my students can’t sleep… They feel bad about themselves because of social media, and the list goes on and on,” she said.
Students came out of the experiment wanting to drastically cut their screen time and live more in the moment.
“My screen time is definitely going to go down, and I’m going start to appreciate my surroundings more because usually I’m looking at my screen all the time,” Ashley Castillero said.
Maybe they actually paid attention to the world around them. And had the satisfaction of talking face-to-face with others.
I wonder how soon they’ll revert to their old ways.

Muslim seeks to gain seats in British election
God bless the Queen.
Except that she’s the head of the Church of England and makes her a foe of Islam.
And Muslims are gaining more and more political power across her realm.
Mosques in Finsbury Park in North London, Birmingham’s Central Mosque, and Masjid Alhikmah and Community Centre in Aberdeen have all called on its worshipers to register to vote.
Nasir Mahmood, Deputy Chair of Birmingham Central Mosque, said: “It is the civic duty of every citizen – Muslim or not – to exercise their democratic right to vote. As community leaders, we must do our utmost to help our members participate as fully in the election as they wish to. This initiative is key to engaging our communities and helping Muslims make their voices heard this election.”
Harun Khan, The General Secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain Secretary General, said: “As active participants in our society, Muslims – in all their diversity – can play a significant role in what may become a close election, and we hope that the parties listen and reach out to Muslim communities across the country to engage on issues of concern.”

Pelosi says, “It’s ‘weak,’ ‘Dangerous,’ to let election decide
Whaaaaaaaaaaat!
Pelosi issues rebuttal to GOP talking point in Dear Colleague letter: "The weak response to these hearings has been, 'Let the election decide.'

This totally shows the Dim mindset. The voters are simply too stupid to decide what’s best for this country.

Burger King Being Sued Over Their New “Impossible Whopper”
And You Can’t Make This Up
A Burger that’s not a Burger.
What next?
Burger King was sued on Monday by a vegan customer who accused the fast-food chain of contaminating its meatless “Navy
SEAImpossible” Whoppers by cooking them on the same grills as its traditional meat burgers.
Another whacko Leftist out to make things miserable for the majority. And he’ll probably find some Dimocrap judge to support his suit.
And I had no idea that BK is owned by Canadians.

Navy commando accused of war crimes faces expulsion from SEALs after Trump restored rank
They just won’t give up on going after this guy.
What’re they going to do. Take his Budweiser away from him?
Sorry. Once you’ve earned it, you keep it for life.
The military has launched proceedings to expel commando Edward Gallagher from the Navy SEALs – who faced court-martial for war crimes earlier this year – even after President Trump restored his rank in a recent clemency order.
A review hearing scheduled for early December will determine whether Gallagher can continue to be a SEAL, Navy Captain Tamara Lawrence told Reuters. The commando’s own lawyer also confirmed he had been served with a notice informing him of the upcoming hearing.
At this point, why should he care? He’s back at Chief Petty Officer and has indicated he’s putting in his retirement papers. Can you imagine the book deals he’s gonna get? And the speaking fees?
Three of Gallagher’s commanding officers also face individual review hearings to determine whether they will be removed from the SEALs, Lawrence added.

President Trump Orders Navy: Do Not Take Eddie Gallagher’s Navy SEAL Trident Pin
I love this man! The President is relentless in righting the wrongs of the quisling Democrat deep state.

Ukrainian Members of Parliament want investigation by US and Ukrainian presidents
Don’t bother playing the video as it’s not in English
They want to know about the money laundering of $7.4 BILLION by the “family” of the previous president. Guess how.
...through the American investment fund Franklin Templeton Investments, which they said has ties to the U.S. Democratic Party, which ultimately profited Hunter Biden, among other people, upwards of $16.5 million.
Snip
The son of Templeton’s founder, John Templeton Jr., was one of President Obama’s major campaign donors. Another fund-related character is Thomas Donilon. Managing Director of BlackRock Investment Institute, shareholder Franklin Templeton Investments, which has the largest share in the fund. It is noteworthy that he previously was Obama’s national security advisor,” Derkach said.
Snip
“President Zelensky must pick up the phone, dial Trump, ask for help and cooperation in the fight against corruption and fly to Washington. The issue of combating international corruption in Ukraine with the participation of citizens, businessmen and U.S. officials should become a key during the meeting of the two presidents,” he said.
So, let’s get this straight. Joe Biden, Obama’s vice president, was responsible for dealing with the Ukraine because of Russian aggression. Somehow, his kid gets involved and walks away with millions in his pockets.
But President Trump is guilty of trying to put down a possible political opponent by asking the Ukrainian president to look into this.
Got it?

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms Took Money Earmarked for Police & Bought 2 Luxury GMC Denalis

ATLANTA – The two luxury GMC Denalis used to chauffeur Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms around town were purchased for a combined $175,000 without the apparent authorization of Atlanta City Council. The city had designated the money for police vehicles used by patrol officers and detectives, reported AJC.

The Most Important News Story Right Now Isn’t Impeachment,
It’s The Crisis In Mexico
And it won’t stay south of the border!
The first was a report from BuzzFeed that as of Wednesday the Trump administration began carrying out a controversial plan to deport asylum-seekers from El Salvador and Honduras—not to their home countries, but to Guatemala, which the administration has designated a “safe third country,” meaning that migrants from those countries must first apply for asylum in Guatemala before seeking asylum in the United States.
The second story was a Los Angeles Times dispatch from the Mexican state of Michoacán, where rival cartels are waging war not over drug trafficking routes but over control of the multibillion-dollar avocado industry. More than a dozen criminal groups are fighting over the avocado trade in and around Uruapan, the capitol of Michoacán, “preying on wealthy orchard owners, the laborers who pick the fruit and the drivers who truck it north to the United States,” writes reporter Kate Linthicum. Organized crime in Mexico, she explains, is diversifying—it isn’t just about drugs anymore:
The country is slowing sinking into anarchy.
And the new president has not but empty platitudes as solutions. He claimed to create a new, non-corrupt, federal police force but it doesn’t seem to be doing much so far.
The upshot is that as Mexico descends into warlordism marked by widespread criminality and gang warfare, we should expect ordinary Mexicans to respond the way ordinary Central Americans have. Eventually, they’ll leave. Many of them, perhaps hundreds of thousands, will at some point head north and claim asylum. When they do, the border crisis that we’ve been dealing with for the past year will seem insignificant—a prelude to a much larger and intractable crisis, for which there will be no easy fix.
They used to come for economic reasons. Now it’s fearing for their lives.

Richard Nixon responsible for FoxNews
An interesting supposition. Something I haven’t heard before.
If Fox News had a DNA test, it would trace its origins to the Nixon administration. In 1970, political consultant Roger Ailes and other Nixon aides came up with a plan to create a new TV network that would circumvent existing media and provide "pro-administration" coverage to millions. "People are lazy," the aides explained in a memo. "With television you just sit — watch — listen. The thinking is done for you." Nixon embraced the idea, saying he and his supporters needed "our own news" from a network that would lead "a brutal, vicious attack on the opposition."
It took 26 years until Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes got it off the ground, Oct 7, 1996. 17 million viewers, but no outlets in NYC or LA. I knew there’s a radio outlet but never bothered to find it here in Vegas.
Just finished 71 straight months as the leading cable TV news network.

8-year-old boy raises over $50k for homeless vets
Tyler’s giving back to our veterans, one ‘hero bag’ at a time. https://t.co/wHNd1nDbaN
— GoFundMe (@gofundme) November 19, 2019
And he’s been doing it since he as 4.
"Doing something special for veterans began after I started asking my mom why some veterans are homeless," Tyler said on his GoFundMe page. "After talking to my mom, I really wanted to help build homes for veterans but together we decided on a more realistic goal. We came up with an idea to make hygiene and grooming kits with thank you cards to give to veterans in need. I call them Hero Bags!"
Probably a hell of a lot more effective than government progrms.

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Officially Canceled
Seems like Epstein was somehow connected to it. And only 3.27 million watched it in 2018.
In May, L Brands CEO Leslie Wexner announced in a memo that the fashion show would no longer air on TV. “We have decided to re-think the traditional Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show,” Wexner said, according to The New York Times. “Going forward we don’t believe network television is the right fit.”
And sales are down.
NFL Weak 12,
Are you in pain?
Try psychotherapy.
There are 100 million Americans who suffer from chronic pain, and an unknown number of them are like Golson, with back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia symptoms, or other forms of pain that have no diagnosed physical cause.
It’s not that their pain is “in their heads.” The truth is much more nuanced: All pain can have both physical and psychological components. But the psychological component is often dismissed or never acknowledged.
Big pharma won’t like this as they make unknown billions every year selling pain meds.
Pain can be manufactured in your head and in your body
Pain, explained
Psychotherapy helps you tell a new story about pain
The best evidence base is for cognitive behavioral therapy
(Psychological treatments are no cure-all for chronic pain.)
Psychological therapies can get better — and so can access to them
(There’s still a lot researchers don’t know…)
We need medical and psychological treatments for pain. But we also need to recognize that medical treatments have been overused.

Obama directly involved in Ukraine corruption scandal?
Both the Office of the General Prosecutor and Members of Parliament in Ukraine today have named multiple US citizens and political organizations with involvement in the massive corruption scandal surrounding Burisma Holdings money-laundering and racketeering.
Hunter Biden is one of the main individuals named in the newly filed charges against the owner of Burisma Holdings, the Ukraine energy company on whose board Biden sits. The filing which was largely ignored by the mainstream media specifically says that Hunter Biden was one of the conduits through which money was “siphoned” from Ukraine.
Additionally, both the DNC organization and Barack Hussein Obama were named in the documents as having direct and indirect ties to this massive corrupt money-laundering operation.
Do you think things are starting to unravel?
It’s going to be interesting to see how far this goes. And don’t expect the Lame Street Media to pay attention to it.

Vets urge Trump impeachment
Really impressive. Right?
There’s a problem though.
It’s funded by George Soros. Through one of his many cover groups.
187 groups funded by George Soros are being used to destroy America. To see the complete list of the 187 groups who are using Trump’s election as an excuse to destroy America, go here.
The groups flash on the screen so quickly it’s difficult to read.
And here’s this:
Each of the ads contains a disclosure stating they’re paid for by “Defend American Democracy,” but D.C. business registration documents reveal the group is just one of the many projects of the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a dark money nonprofit that pumped $141 million into liberal causes in 2018 alone, Open Secrets reported.
The Sixteen Thirty Fund reported receiving $52 million from a single anonymous donor in 2018, but as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, it is not required to disclose the identity of its donors.

Ranking all the Star Wars films
Star Wars IV – A new hope comes in at #1. It was not the top grosser at only $786 million (and counting)
All of this, of course, comes up with the Dec 20 release of The Rise of Skywalker. Here’s a surprise clip from it:
Stormtroopers with jetpacks?
To say that I’m a fan of Star Wars is an understatement. When Return of the Jedi came out in 1983, I actually broke a long-time personal taboo to stand in line to watch it in a movie theater. I’ve watched it so many times since that I can’t count.
So, here are some personal comments.
I really thought this would be the blockbuster of all scifi movies.
The special effects awed me. The first 5 or 6 times. After that, they got boring.
Even Sir Alec was wooden and emotionless. Or, what emotions did get shown weren’t that convincing.
I’ve watched every single film that’s come out since. I never saw an improvement in the acting of Mark Hamill or Carie Fisher. Some of the others did get better.
Will I watch them again?
You bet.
Will I watch this next one?
When it comes to Pay-for-view.
Read the reviews and decide for yourselves.

Brexit explained, Gymnast Biles by miles, The best wireless mouse, DNC colluded with Ukraine to help Hillary win, Denmark setting up internal border checks with Sweden, and much more good stuff for October 17, 2019


FL Court: Cities must cooperate with ICE or elected officials will be removed from office
We finally have people standing up to the Sanctuary City mob.
There was a new Florida state law that put a ban on sanctuary cities. It also ordered law enforcement officers to continue full cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Miami U.S. District Court Judge Beth Bloom upheld a majority of the components of that law on Monday, just one day before SB 168 went into effect.
On top of banning sanctuary cities in Florida, it also creates a new mandate. It requires police departments to hold inmates for an additional 48 hours to give ICE enough time to take custody of them.
The article doesn’t indicate just how government officials can be removed.
The majority of the article seems to center on problems between ICE and officials of Fairfax, County, VA.

Two Giuliani Associates Who Helped Him on Ukraine Charged With Campaign-Finance Violations
Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, two Florida businessmen, have been under investigation by the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan, and are expected to appear in federal court in Virginia later on Thursday, the people said. Both men were born in former Soviet republics.
Attorney General William Barr discussed the case on Thursday with federal prosecutors in Manhattan, where he was making a preplanned visit. A Justice Department official said Mr. Barr was supportive of their work on the case, on which he was first briefed shortly after being confirmed as attorney general in February. He was aware the pair would be charged and taken into custody last night, the official said.
Dozens of articles on it all over the web.
How is it okay for foreign governments to give money to the Clintons but not a group supporting President Trump?

President Trump: U.S. ‘should have never been in the Middle East’
Other than for helping Israel defend itself, he’s absolutely right.
Fighting between various groups that has been going on for hundreds of years. USA should never have been in Middle East. Moved our 50 soldiers out. Turkey MUST take over captured ISIS fighters that Europe refused to have returned. The stupid endless wars, for us, are ending! https://t.co/Fbcem9i55Z
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 9, 2019
U.S. involvement in the Middle East has cost the country $8 trillion so far, along with many thousands of lives. President Trump said this was the worst decision ever made in the history of America. A Sunday press release confirmed that the U.S. was officially withdrawing from the region, stating “The United States Armed Forces will not support or be involved in the operation.”
“I held off this fight for almost three years, but it is time to get out of these ridiculous endless wars…and bring our soldiers home,” the president emphasized.
All sides have had 3 years to ponder how the president was elected partially on the promise to get us out of continual wars. So, that he’s acruallt keeping that promise cannot surprise anyone.

Biles by miles:
U.S. gymnast claims record fifth all-around world title.
In 1976, I watched Nadia Comaneci get a perfect 10 on the uneven bars at the Montreal Olympics. I remember thinking that something was going to be required to review the scoring system. And it always has galled me that a bunch of judged are able to decide the outcome based on their own biases and political leanings.
(Reuters) – American Simone Biles became the first woman to win five all-around titles at the gymnastics world championships in Stuttgart on Thursday, building on her legacy as one of the greatest of all time.
It was Biles’ 16th gold medal at the worlds and added to her all-around world titles from 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2018.
Needing 12.301 in the floor exercise to reclaim her title in the final rotation, Biles scored 14.400 points to finish with an overall score of 58.999 — beating China’s Tang Xijing by a huge margin of 2.100.
Russia’s Angelina Melnikova took bronze with 56.399.
I‘ve never seen her perform in real time but her videos are astonishing. While other athletes have that look of dedicated determination on their faces, Biles just goes out there with the attitude of having fun – as if the results don’t count.
How can anyone beat that?

Kids Aren’t Suffering From ‘Video Game Addiction.’ They’re Suffering From A Lack Of Parenting.
Parents in Canada have filed a class action lawsuit against Epic Games, the company that made the popular video game Fortnite. The distraught plaintiffs accuse the devious minds behind Fortnite of intentionally creating it to be “as addictive as possible.” This addiction has destroyed their children’s lives, they say.
Another generation taught not to take responsibility for their own actions?
10-year-old children aren’t going out and buying their own games. They aren’t buying their own TVs, phones, and computers, either. If a child is playing games for several hours a day, it is because his parents have chosen to invest a considerable amount of money into fueling the hobby. So, why is your kid playing video games so much? Let us solve the mystery: it is because you are allowing and funding it.
It’s nice to read a common sense approach to a supposed epidemic.

Humans can regenerate cartilage
Lord above, I hope so. The cartilage in my left knee is almost completely gone and the same in my right isn’t far behind. It’s got me stuck to walkers, a wheelchair, and an electric scooter.
If you get a cut, it’ll heal. If you lose some skin to road rash, it’ll grow back. But lose a limb, and it’s gone for good. Unless you’re a salamander, a zebrafish or an axolotl, of course — all of which can regrow missing limbs. Now, scientists find that some of the molecules crucial to that process are at work inside of us.
Confirming that similar processes are working in different species means the scientific community can identify which microRNAs humans lack or have in short supply. Boosting their production in joints could, for example, slow cartilage degradation and maybe stop osteoarthritis. The condition, where joint cartilage degrades and makes moving painful, is one of the most common causes of disability in the world. Currently, the only option for treatment is to replace the joint entirely. If the tissue could be prompted to regenerate itself, then patients could avoid the pain and intense surgeries.
It may be a decade away – far too long for me – but there’s a possibility that researchers might assemble the right combinations of microRNA to heal arthritis.

Dems Want to Know: Who Paid Rudy?
The president’s personal lawyer has been digging up dirt for him in Ukraine. Now Congress wants to know: who picked up the tab?
A member of the House Intelligence Committee is calling on Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to disclose information on who financed his attempts to dig up dirt on Joe Biden amid a wave of reports that the work has dovetailed into official government business.
Reports indicate Rudy represents the president pro bono, meaning he receives no money for travel or the meetings he holds. He claims his expenses are paid by clients of his law firm.
In an interview with The Daily Beast this week, Giuliani steadfastly denied that he was paid for any work he did in Ukraine, saying that he helped Trump on a “pro bono” basis. He said that the costs of his travel were covered by private clients for separate work that happened to correspond with his Ukraine portfolio. Speaking specifically about an August trip he made to Madrid to urge Andriy Yermak, a top Ukrainian official, to reinvestigate the Bidens, Giuliani said that he happened to be going to the Spanish capital already for “business and vacation.”
And he’s digging up dirt the Dims have done their best to keep buried.

The best wireless mouse
Logitech sweeps the field.
Exactly what I have, along with a Logitech wireless keyboard.
After researching 42 wireless mice and testing 14, we found that the Logitech M720 Triathlon Multi-Device Wireless Mouse is the best wireless mouse for most people because it is more comfortable to use than nearly every other mouse we tested, connects easily via a USB dongle or Bluetooth, and tracks well on most surfaces.
The article then gives a very good series of things to look for when looking for a mouse.
Comfort
Connection
Battery life
Buttons
Useful software
Sensor
I’m very pleased with my simple – and inexpensive - Model M215. It meets my needs and I can’t begin to remember how often I’ve had to change the batteries. And, if I remember correctly, it came with the K330 Logitech wireless keyboard I bought at OfficeMax.

Inside Cirque du Soleil’s technology lab
I’ve never been to one of their shows but have seen lots and lots of promos for the various shows they put on here in Vegas. They appear to be astonishing.
This 7 minute video gives one a look inside their operation and is worthwhile watching.
Cirque du Soleil is iconic: both a smooth corporate machine and pop culture staple. The company's approach has been to launch its latest innovation lab called Nextasy. At the global headquarters in Montreal, the lab is playing with motion sensing to make a soundtrack respond to dancers' actions, AI to spark new makeup ideas and augmented reality to overlay animations onto live performance. In our feature video, we visit Cirque du Soleil to see how it's trying to create spectacle more than 200 years after the first circus, and how it harnesses technology for its own whimsical purposes.

DNC colluded with Ukraine to help Hillary win
Golly gee! I thought the media was positive it was the other way around. Didn’t we just spend $46 million to see if Trump did it?
The connection between the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Ukrainian government was veteran Democratic operative Alexandra Chalupa, “who had worked in the White House Office of Public Liaison during the Clinton administration” and then “went on to work as a staffer, then as a consultant, for Democratic National Committee,” Politico reported.
Chalupa was working directly with the Ukrainian embassy in the United States to raise concerns about Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and, according to Politico, she indicated that the Embassy was working “directly with reporters researching Trump, Manafort and Russia to point them in the right directions.” More
This is not the only piece claiming this.

Trump To Exit ‘Open Skies’ Treaty
Another “America first” decision.
The ‘Open Skies’ treaty which the US signed in 1992 and went into effect in 2002 is the agreement which allows Russian surveillance planes to occasionally fly over the heart of North America, in an unusual arrangement which has US residents understandably freaking out when they might look up and see a large Russian Tu-214ON aircraft overhead. 
The post Cold War treaty allows its 34 member states to conduct short-notice, unarmed observation flights to monitor other countries’ military operations in mutual verification of arms-control agreements.
However, following the Trump administration’s pullout of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), it seems the White House increasingly views the ‘Open Skies’ agreement as also obsolete. CNN reported late Tuesday the administration is expected to soon exit the treaty. “The Trump administration is expected to soon announce that it plans to exit the Open Skies treaty, a US official tells CNN, a move that has already drawn condemnation from Democrats in Congress,” according to the report.
Makes no sense to stay with the accord as satellites provide coverage equal or better than what can be picked up by aircraft.

Seattle solves homeless crisis – with one-way bus tickets
Only Libtards could come up with solutions like that.
(Maybe not. Seems to me more of a right-wing solution than the other way around.)
The program would provide a bus ticket and meal vouchers to any homeless person who could prove they were going to live with a family member. They would not be allowed to move to a county adjacent to King County.
Get ;em far enough away that they’re not likely to come back.

LA gas prices go above $5 while resident learn solar panels don’t work in blackouts
Saudi Arabia, local refineries gearing up for winter blends, weird eco-laws and regulations all leading to a 1 day spike to over $5 per gallon in various locations.
But wait, there’s more: America’s most “environmentally conscious” state got a harsh lesson in electrical engineering when many of the tens of thousands of people hit by this week’s blackout learned the hard way that solar installations don’t keep the lights on during a power outage.
That, as Bloomberg reports, is “because most panels are designed to supply power to the grid, not directly to houses. During the heat of the day, solar systems generate more juice than a home can handle. However, they don’t produce power at all at night. So systems are tied into the grid, and the vast majority aren’t working this week as PG&E cut power to much of Northern California to prevent wildfires.”
A whole lot of people suckered over the solar power scan.

This has been the goal of scientists since the Manhattan Project that created the first nuclear power plant.
If scientists were able to harness fusion energy, all it would do is completely change the course of humanity. One kilogram of fusion fuel produces the same amount of energy as 10 million kilograms of fossil fuels, according to the Science Museum in London. It’s the perfect energy source; it doesn’t emit greenhouse gases or leave behind harmful byproducts such as nuclear waste—unlike nuclear fission. In fact, its sole byproduct is helium: an inert, extremely useful gas.
Think of it, 1 kilogram of fusion fuel producing the same energy as 10 million kilograms of fossil fuels. With a byproduct of helium.
The success of the device, developed by researcher Salvatore Cezar Pais of the Naval Air Warfare Center - Aircraft Division, relies on a part called a dynamic fusor. According to the patent, Pais’ plasma chamber contains several pairs of these dynamic fusors, which rapidly spin and vibrate within the chamber in order to create a “concentrated magnetic energy flux” that can squish the gases together.
One can only keep ones fingers crossed with the hope that this actually works.

Israeli police arrest Palestinian officials in Jerusalem
This is definitely going to cause demonstrations/riots and missile attacks from PLO territory.
Israeli police have arrested the Palestinian governor of Jerusalem and a local official of the mainstream Fatah party in dawn raids on Monday in the disputed city, AFP reports, citing the men's lawyer.
Police arrested governor Adnan Ghaith and the Fatah general secretary for Jerusalem, Shadi Mutour, in raids on their homes in east Jerusalem, lawyer Mohammed Mahmud said. The officials were accused of engaging in activity on behalf of the Palestinian Authority in the city.
Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said that “two representatives were arrested by police and are being questioned,” but did not confirm their names.
