‘Broken promises’: Brad Pitt’s New Orleans charity accused of selling homes that fell apart nbcnews.com/news/us-news/b… beware of shady charities! #Florence
This isn't the only case of a celebrity charity being a dismal failure or being questioned about its efforts. Wyclef Jean's charity was accused of mishandling $16 million in donations for Haiti. businessinsider.com/wyclefs-haiti-…
Some of the problem is these celebrities are well intentioned, but have no idea what they are doing and hire people that know even less. There are also others that have done exceptionally well in charitable causes like JJ Watt in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.

SecDef Mattis referred to the Kurds in our 'allies and relationships' and that they risked being slaughtered by the Syrian government if we leave. The Kurds have more to fear from Turkey than they do Syrian government forces. Turkey sees the YPG and PKK as terrorist organizations
In February 2018, the Assad government gave some measure of aid to Syrian Kurds against Turkey in the northwest region of the country in Afrin. The government allowed the Kurds to move men, weapons, and equipment through government controlled areas to reinforce.
Turkey, our NATO ally whom we obviously have a partnership and alliance sees the Kurds in Afrin as a threat to its border. reuters.com/article/us-mid…

Secretary of Defense Mattis leaving is not the end of the world as the media makes it out to be. While I have respect for Mattis he's not the only person qualified for the job.
Every administration has its stars, and those stars often leave after about 2-3 years and often that's shortly after a midterm election or a presidential election. I think some of the friction that resulted in Mattis leaving was probably applied through John Bolton.
Mattis is an old guard type and believes in long term troop presence even after objectives have been met.

District Judge Royce Lamberth is ordering the State Dept & DOJ to work with @JudicialWatch citing that State & DOJ colluded in to keep HRC's missing emails from the public. washingtonexaminer.com/washington-sec…
Comey said in July 2016, "To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions."
Comey also stated, "all other cases that were prosecuted involved intentional/willful mishandling of information. How does Comey think that classified information ended up on a private server? That IS willful intent because it has to be physically removed from systems.

As a former journalist and a researcher of the relationship between #news and #socialmedia, I think I understand both sides of the argument over whether tonight's presidential address should be carried live. A few thoughts. #Thread
It's important to look at the decision in itself. Even if you think it violates precedent, and therefore is hypocritical, it may be that the previous decisions were the wrong ones and shouldn't be repeated.
For example, if I used to throw my trash out the car window, arguing that it kept prisoners busy doing litter pickup, that's clearly stupid. If I now know it's dumb and stop doing it, that is a greater good than my being consistent by still doing it.
