1. In 1987, I was managing a restaurant at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel just prior to beginning UH law school. The Hilton was hosting a high-level meeting between Kuwaiti officials and the US military. A man I presumed was part of the Kuwaiti group approached me
2. as I stood watching the restaurant. He asked me, "Would Americans fight to defend my country?" I thought for a moment and then I said, "It depends. Americans hate bullies. If your country was attacked by a bully then I'm certain we would stand up and fight to defend it."
3. He politely thanked me and went back to finish his dinner. After the war started I saw him on TV. He was the Kuwaiti US Ambassador. #MyLife.

1. Post Parnas arrest @NewYorker

When Parnas was sixteen, he worked at Kings Highway Realty, selling Trump Organization co-ops. “That was my first time knowing who Trump was, but, growing up in that area, you knew who Trump was because his name was all over the place,” he said.

1. In 1978-9 I was looking for acting work in NYC. You don't quit your day job. If you're trying to break in, you work nights.

I was a terrible waiter so I worked as a restaurant manager. It was just about 5 years after first Russian Refusniks were allowed to emigrate.
2. I had 2 Russian immigrant employees, busmen, who loved to smoke and the only place you could do it was in my office. So I traded choking on cigarette smoke for stories about Russia including gulags, hiding diamonds in radios and getting caught. They wanted to practice English
3. so I rationalized it as employee development plus in a very tough place to manage, the largest restaurant in the Hilton system at the time, they would do pretty much anything I asked and that was to help other workers so things went OK. Repaid my petty kindness with loyalty.

1. They probably already had it. Plus his calls. IMO you can't do what these folks did and not draw the attention of the eye of Sauron. And I think all encrypted aps are like yummy gumdrops for the NSA.
2. Isn't it possible that Oct 9 when those boys went rabbit they were just part of a larger conspiracy NS Div found? Could what set them apart be they were fleeing? If they hadn't done that we may have never heard of these boys. Were they blip on the radar of a much larger case?
3. I'd look for other new faces who appear in more than one photo or video taken the same time of Trump Parnas meetings. If he could get that close, he might have had company.

Noon in Korea
@NoonInKorea
The monologue portion of the high-level meeting between NK and SK is televised. NK rep Ri Son-gwon: "We have now reached a point in our relationship where we can't cross each other even if we tried. We're now fellow travelers who share a common destiny"
Sounds purdy good but this is all dramatics and rehearsed. For example Ri launched a rehearsed monologue with a pithy Chinese letter phrase he wanted to use for the occasion: 막역지우: 莫逆之友. Means deep, unbreakable friendship that can last a lifetime
newsis.com/view/?id=NISX2…
Did Ri come up with the phrase on his own? There's nothing spontaneous from the NK side. Plus he's not that erudite. But the most important thing he said is: "We can discuss another meeting in Pyongyang; it will hopefully fulfill what Korean people desire"

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
