Love how everyone is getting bent out of shape because Guy Verhofstadt is claiming we need an EU empire...

It's not new, he's been saying this since 2015, well before the referendum.

What's alarming is he's saying it at a Lib Dem Conference, and being loudly cheered for it.
This really isn't anything new for the EU, not at all, and if you think it is, you've not been paying any attention:

The election of Jean-Claude Junker as commission president was said to a 'crucial step' towards United States of Europe in 2014.

And the incoming President of the European Commision, who will take over from Junker, Ursula von der Leyen, said this in 2011:

"My goal is the United States of Europe - on the model of the federal states Switzerland, Germany or USA,"

If you’re for staying in the EU, it will eventually be a federalist government, so you’d better get used to it.

Tiblisi, Georgia:

Woman stabs a three year old child in the face as he walked with his parents.

Both parents are so shocked they take what seems like an eternity to act on the threat.

Moving everyone away safely is the most important thing here.

The child, had deep wounds in the nose and right cheek. He received stitches and has since been discharge from hospital.
The woman, described as a 51-year-old, unemployed artist escaped from the scene, but was detained by the police the following morning.

She faces seven to ten years in prison.

1. This Sunday marks the 33rd anniversary of Suzy Lamplugh's disappearance; the beginning of a nightmare for her family & friends. Paul & Diana Lamplugh sadly passed away never knowing what happened to their daughter after she left her estate agency offices on 28th July 1986.
2. People don’t just disappear.

So, in 2016, I began studying the flaws in the police investigations over the past three decades, to understand the repeated failures in why Suzy's body has never been found and why no one has ever been prosecuted for her disappearance and murder
3. I went back to the very start. I've traced dozens and dozens of original witnesses, some of whom police have never tracked down; some as far away as New Zealand and the USA. I’ve travelled thousands of miles to understand what went wrong from the very outset.

There’s a fair amount of dispute on Twitter as to if this is the Iranian Navy.

I checked the details on the video against the type of boat the US claim was used - an IRGC Gashti-class patrol boat.
There’s a lot of features on the boat in the video that match those used by the Iranian navy.
On this basis, it’s difficult to conclude that this is anything other than an Iranian navy boat of the class specified.

They certainly appear to be removing something from the side of the Kokuka Courageous, something large enough to be a limpit mine.

1/4 Why I think Trump "walked" at Hanoi summit: 1) Trump may have been bent out of shape by House testimony of "rat" Michael Cohen (Pelosi could have rescheduled hearing for March 1) and likely hardly slept the night before; 2) Trump has no patience for small steps and arms
2/4 control minutae, and sought a "big deal" to get this Korea thing over with; he definitely was not thinking of South Korea's best interests, and he's still asking ROK to pay more; 2) Bolton never met a wrench he didn't want to throw in the works of an arms control negotiation
3/4 (such as broadening an "ask" at the last minute); it's unbelievable to give Bolton a seat at the table and not Biegun, which only lowered his profile; 3) The North always asks for more than it expects to get, but Kim wanted to see how far he could push an impatient Trump who

1. One question that jumps at me in this passage, Luke 10:25-37, is – Who are the robbers of our days? How do we describe robbery in our day ? The original robber is Satan who leverages the sin nature to destroy other people's lives (John 10:10). #Love
2. There are armed robbers who rob physically with weapons and there are also economic and political robbers destroying people’s lives. (James 5:4) #Love
3. Whichever way the robbers rob, they leave people wounded and hurt. There are people in our world today who are wounded. #Love

1. Once again, despite a better first year than Reagan, all kinds of Trump supporters are getting bent out of shape over things they hear are being "put on the table" in the immigration negotiations with the Democrats.

Let's talk about why you should Stay Calm.
@realDonaldTrump
2. Everyone who has no experience negotiating deals summed up by 100+ pages of legalese should pay attention. You can learn the most important rule of negotiating next:

"If you aren't willing to walk away with NO DEAL, you've already lost."

Where've you heard that before? 😀
3. Negotiating an immigration deal falls under that rule

One side has multiple choices they can offer (Trump) & the other side (Dems) already have deal breaker "minimums" their radical base is demanding.
(From outside of Schumer's house @ 3 AM)

Only Trump can walk away
