After a magnitude 7.0 earthquake devastated Haiti in 2010, leaving hundreds of thousands of people dead, Obama designated Haiti as a country whose nationals could receive Temporary Protected Status, meaning they could live in the U.S. temporarily. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
An estimated 46,000 Haitians retain temporary status, granted to Haitians who migrated to the U.S. within a year of the quake, or who were already in America, no matter their legal status.

Months after taking office, Trump abruptly announced he would end TPS for Haitians as well as immigrants from a handful of other countries.

Trump later would refer to Haiti as a “shithole” country. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

Iran has vowed “harsh retaliation” for a U.S. airstrike near Baghdad’s airport that killed Tehran’s top general and the architect of its interventions across the Middle East.

The United States is urging its citizens to leave Iraq “immediately.”

In Tehran, thousands of worshipers took to the streets after Friday prayers to condemn the killing of Gen. Qassem Suleimani in a U.S. airstrike. 🎥: AP latimes.com/politics/story…
In ordering the killing of Gen. Qassem Suleimani, one of Iran’s highest-ranking officials, Trump has taken one of the biggest gambles of his presidency — a step that appears to lead the U.S. on a path toward escalated warfare.

Diamond M Ranch has grazed its cattle on federal land since World War II.

Since 2012, 26 wolves have been killed after Washington officials found that members of their packs had attacked Diamond M livestock.

@RichReadReports with the full story: latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Environmentalists say Diamond M Ranch not only fails to take preventive steps to safeguard its herds, but in some cases brings on the bloodshed by leaving cattle near known wolf dens.

In 2012, all seven members of a wolf family were shot, most from a helicopter, after officials found that the group had preyed on Diamond M cattle. Environmentalists accuse Diamond M of keeping salt blocks near a wolf den, causing cattle to swarm around it.

#BREAKING
New, unconfirmed video on Telegram claiming to show the moment when Ukrainian Int'l Airlines flight #PS752 was shot down early Wednesday morning, January 8, over a town west of the Iranian capital of Tehran.
#UPDATE
If U.S. officials believe the downing of the Ukrainian Int'l Airlines flight #PS752 was an "accident," why does the regime in #Iran continue denying the entire subject?

Accepting this as an "accident" would make it far easier for Tehran to wrap up the entire matter.
Me thinking:
The regime in #Iran can easily accept the "accident" scenario, prosecute a few low-ranking military officers & compensate the victims' families. Case closed.

Tehran can even claim a rogue military officer/unit shot down the #PS752.

Why continue denying?

#Breaking badaboum...à retardement et à mystère...j'avais fait hier soir avant de prendre l'avion 2 tweets sur l'info du soir de l'enquête #Mueller qui est à mon sens l'1 des pires sorties pour #Trump. Et ce matin ils ont disparu🤔...si ce compte se pare de drapeaux russes😉...
2) Le #breaking en question du @nytimes, à mon sens désastreux pour #Trump, est que Mueller est parvenu à retourner et à faire coopérer G.Nader, conseiller spécial du prince régnant des Emirats, qui aurait acquis 1 influence énorme à la Maison Blanche. nytimes.com/2018/03/06/us/…
3) Il y a 2 infos terribles pour #Trump à propos de G.Nader. D'1 part, le procureur #Mueller l'a déjà présenté à son grand jury fédéral qui évalue les preuves de l'enquête avant toute mise en accusation. Donc, #Mueller estimait que #Nader savait des choses pour bâtir 1 accusation
