Trump designates North Korea as state sponsor of terrorism - Duration: 2:09.
Our starting point this morning,...
The Trump administration has designated North Korea as a terror sponsor,... in a move aimed
at dialing up pressure on the regime... for its nuclear and missile developments.
The redesignation comes in nine years after Pyongyang's name was removed by the George
W. Bush administration.
North Korea now joins Iran, Sudan and Syria on the blacklist.
Yu Joonhee reports.
During a cabinet meeting on Monday,...
President Donald Trump announced the U.S. will designate North Korea as a state sponsor
of terrorism.
Saying it should have happened "a long time ago"... Trump accused the regime of supporting
international terrorism... in addition to threatening the world with nuclear devastation.
(English) "This designation will impose further sanctions
and penalties on North Korea and related persons and supports our maximum pressure campaign
to isolate the murderous regime..."
He cited the murder of Kim Jong-un's half brother in Malaysia earlier this year,...
by a pair of individuals suspected of acting under orders from North Korea.
Trump also referred to the death of American student Otto Warmbier... who was detained
by Pyongyang for over a year-and-a-half... as well as other victims of North Korean oppression
and brutality.
He said... the Treasury Department will announce the additional sanctions soon... which he
promised will be of the "highest level".
The U.S. president ended his remarks by urging North Korea to be lawful,... and bring an
end to its illegal nuclear and ballistic missile developments.
Following that meeting,...
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said in a White House press briefing... that the latest
move will help dissuade third parties from supporting the regime.
Tillerson emphasized... it was part of a peaceful campaign of pressure... and the U.S. was ultimately
hoping for a diplomatic solution to resolve tensions with the North.
Pyongyang's reinstatement on Washington's list of terror sponsors,... comes nine years
after its removal by the George W. Bush administration... as part of a denuclearization deal which ultimate
failed.
North Korea joins Iran, Sudan, and Syria on the blacklist... which bars them receiving
U.S. aid... in addition to tougher financial restrictions.

Trump Issues Immediate Statement After Border Patrol Agent Is Killed - Duration: 4:30.
Just hours after a Border Patrol agent was pronounced dead over injuries suffered in
an apparent attack, President Trump reiterated his pledge for a border wall and promised
"to bring to justice those responsible."
According to a statement by U.S. Customs and Border Protection Sunday, two agents were
seriously injured along the Texas border.
"A U.S. Border Patrol agent died this morning as a result of injuries sustained while on
patrol in the Big Bend Sector," a statement from the agency read.
"Agent Rogelio Martinez and his Big Bend Sector partner were responding to activity
while on patrol near Interstate 10, in the Van Horn Station area.
Agent Martinez's partner reported that they were both injured and in need of assistance.
Responding agents provided immediate medical care, and transported both agents to a local
hospital.
"Big Bend Sector was later told that Agent Martinez expired from his injuries.
His partner remains in the local hospital in serious condition," the statement noted,
concluding with thoughts and prayers for the agents' families.
The statement also indicated that four agencies — the Culberson County Sheriff's Department,
FBI, Office of the Inspector General and the CBP — were investigating the incident.
However, Fox News reported Sunday night that Border Protection spokesman Carlos Diaz said
the FBI had taken over the investigation.
In a tweet Sunday evening, President Trump promised justice for the death of the 36-year-old
Border Patrol agent.
"Border Patrol Officer killed at Southern Border, another badly hurt," Trump tweeted.
"We will seek out and bring to justice those responsible.
We will, and must, build the Wall!"
The Big Bend Sector, the sector in which Martinez was killed, isn't the most popular for illegal
border crossings; only 1 percent of the apprehensions between October 2016 and May 2017 happened
in the sector, mostly because the Rio Grande and mountainous terrain make it inhospitable
for those looking to cross.
However, Big Bend was, as of February, scheduled to be in the second phase of the wall's
construction — relatively early for an area deemed so difficult to cross and a clear sign
the Trump administration views it as having a high degree of potential crossing risk.
Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke also released a statement Sunday
which did not identify the deaths as the direct result of an attack but noted again that the
agents were responding to "activity."
"Earlier this morning, I was notified that Border Patrol Agent Rogelio Martinez died
as a result of serious injuries suffered while on patrol in the Big Bend Sector of our southern
border in Texas.
Agent Martinez was responding to activity while on patrol with another agent, who was
also seriously injured," Duke's statement read.
"We are fully supporting the ongoing investigation to determine the cause of this tragic event.
On behalf of the quarter of a million frontline officers and agents of DHS, my thoughts and
prayers go out to the family and friends of Agent Martinez and to the agent who is in
serious condition."
Sen. Ted Cruz, whose home state of Texas was the site of the incident, issued a statement
in which seemed more confident in inferring that the deaths were from an attack.
"This is a stark reminder of the ongoing threat that an unsecure border poses to the
safety of our communities and those charged with defending them.
We are grateful for the courage and sacrifice of our border agents who have dedicated their
lives to keeping us safe," Cruz's statement read.
"I remain fully committed to working with the Border Patrol to provide them with all
the resources they need to safeguard our nation."
On Sunday night, the FBI's Jeanette Harper indicated that if this was an attack, gunfire
wasn't involved.
"They were not fired upon," Harper said, according to the San Antonio Express-News.
"There are so many different agencies working together that we need to come together and
develop a timeline."
She also said a full account of what transpired would not be forthcoming until Monday.

Trump-Hating Kathy Griffin Posts Unhinged Video As She Gets The Worst News Of Her Career - Duration: 5:21.
Kathy Griffin continues to beg for sympathy after posting a disgusting photo, depicting
the beheading of President Donald Trump, which rocked the nation six months ago.
The unhinged Trump-hater has struck yet again, dropping another bombshell.
In a recent video posted to her account, Griffin not only openly admits that she's lost her
mind, she reveals the worst news of her career that just hit her hard — and it's something
you don't want to miss.
Six months ago, Kathy Griffin grabbed the attention of millions of Americans when she
posted a picture meant to represent the beheading of President Trump as the washed-up celebrity
clutched his bloody, severed head in her hands.
Naturally, many Americans were outraged, and her stunt even earned her a visit from the
Secret Service.
Following the massive backlash, Griffin has tried time and time again to restore any career
she might have left.
After making a YouTube channel and posting videos hoping for some attention, she has
accomplished nothing but embarrassing herself even further.
You would think she might want to stay clear of the spotlight, but for someone with little
common sense, she makes it clear she is far too desperate and begging isn't beneath
her — although accountability for her own actions is definitely a foreign concept.
In her latest tirade in a video posted to Griffin's YouTube channel, which she titled
"Kathy Griffin's State Of The Union," she displays just how completely unhinged
she has become, openly admitting that she has lost her mind — something everyone else
knew long ago.
While addressing her cringe-worthy behavior, she had the audacity to complain about the
continued fallout from her Trump beheading stunt.
Griffin whined about the mounting repercussions, claiming it has not only consisted of her
name being on Interpol, but she is also allegedly on a Hollywood blacklist and her legal bills
are allegedly through the roof.
It seems beyond her comprehension that perhaps she's not getting work because she's actually
a talentless hack who disgusts the majority of Americans.
"I just want you guys to know that I am fully in the middle of a blacklist — like
I'm in the middle of a Hollywood blacklist.
It is real.
I'm not booked on any talk shows," Griffin whined, as reported to The Gateway Pundit.
"When I get home, I do not have one single day of paid work in front of me," Griffin
continued.
Then, the delusional diva put her entitlement mentality on full display.
While groveling about how she wants to get back to work, she mentions that some have
suggested she do the "club scene" again.
However, Griffin quickly brushed off the suggestion, believing she is too good for that type of
work.
Apparently, she believes she's worked too hard in her life and is above that type of
work.
Someone should tell her that desperate times call for desperate measures and her unwillingness
to do what it takes to put food on the table only further alienates her from any possible
fan base since she obviously can't connect with the average American.
Does she forget the part where she was the one who threw any career she had down the
toilet, forcing herself to start over completely?
Hell, she should be grateful to do the "club scene" if she can get a gig because, at
this point, most of us wouldn't even want her flipping our burgers.
Usually, when you hit rock bottom, you don't get to be picky, hence the old saying, "Beggars
can't be choosers," and Griffin is definitely a beggar right about now, as evidenced by
her YouTube video, where begging is all she does.
It's cringe-worthy, but delightful to see her floundering at the same time.
Along with the incessant whining, blaming, and dodging of all accountability for the
position she's in, Griffin claims that she has to turn down fundraising requests because
she is buried in legal bills following the bloody Trump head photo shoot, but I find
it hard to believe anyone would book her even for a charity event.
Who would want to bring that kind of bad publicity to their cause?
Showing just how delusional she has become, a paranoid Griffin also rambled on about how
Harvey Weinstein hired a company to follow Rose McGowan around after she came forward
about Hollywood sexual assault.
Then, Griffin implied she may be next before reiterating that she has no work when she
returns home from her tour.
Of course, she also claims it's all because she's being targeted because she's a woman.
She wrapped up her pity party by begging for a gig on a television show.
How about "no," Kathy.
Can you blame anyone for not wanting to work with her?
I mean, with this kind of crazy, you'd almost worry it could be contagious.
Kathy Griffin doesn't need another gig, she needs to be taught a lesson.
When you make a poor decision, you reap the consequences — something she obviously hasn't
learned, even though the majority of Americans have all but beat it into her.
This is why you don't have a job, Kathy.
You're not a victim, you're a bully who's getting their comeuppance.
Now, that's the best entertainment you've provided in years.

Trump Just Overtook Every Major European Leader in Popularity Polls - Duration: 1:42.
If you listened to the left, you might think that most Americans are unhappy with President
Donald Trump's performance — especially in comparison to Europe's biggest leaders.
But you would also be wrong.
While the left loves to rub low poll numbers in Trump's face, what they won't tell
you is that he is doing better in the polls than major European leaders.
According to the latest Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll, Trump's
approval rating sits at 41 percent.
This is higher than Europe's liberal leaders, according to a Zogby poll.
Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May and French President Emmanuel Macron both have
an approval rate of just 28 percent.
German Chancellor Angela Merke's approval rating sits at 40 percent.
Those numbers are bad news for left-wing darlings.
Considering the amount of love that these liberal leaders get from the left and the
mainstream media, along with the amount of hate that Trump gets, these numbers are as
incredible as they are telling.
Ever since before the presidential election, the left has consistently worked to paint
Trump in an unfavorable light.
The media loves to gloat about Trump's low approval numbers but you can bet they won't
take the time to point out that popular leftists across the ocean aren't faring any better.
These numbers will no doubt enrage liberals, and it's doubtful this news will be given
much covered from the media.
Imagine how high Trump's numbers would be if the mainstream media didn't try to drag
him through the mud at every possible opportunity.
This country would really be winning.

Trump designates North Korea as state sponsor of terrorism - Duration: 2:01.
North Korea is back on Washington's list of sponsors of terror, which opens up the door
to even more sanctions on the regime.
It was nine years ago that Pyongyang was taken off the list by the George W. Bush administration.
Arirang's Yu Joonhee explains why the regime was relisted... and what it means in terms
of sanctions.

North Korea crisis: Donald Trump brands Kim Jong-un's Pyongyang a sponsor of terrorism - Duration: 2:56.
North Korea crisis: Donald Trump brands Kim Jong-un's Pyongyang a sponsor of terrorism
said today that the designation will impose further penalties on the reclusive state. He branded the move as a long overdue step, part of the US "maximum pressure campaign" against and branded Pyongyang "a murderous regime".
The move returns North Korea to the list of counties the US views as state sponsors of terror for the first time since 2008. The brutal regime will join Iran, Sudan and Syria on the list of state sponsors of terror.
Mr Trump said his Treasury Department on Tuesday will announce an additional economic sanction on North Korea, and "it will be the highest level of sanctions by the time it's finished over a two-week period.".
Sarah Sanders, White House press secretary, confirmed the shock declaration by tweeting: "@POTUS announced that the US is against designating North Korea a state sponsor of terror".
US officials cited the killing of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's estranged half brother in a Malaysian airport this year as an act of terrorism. The designation has been debated for months inside the administration, with some officials at the State Department arguing that North Korea did not meet the legal standard to be resisted as a state sponsor of terrorism.
Mr Trump has faced mounting pressure from congressional lawmakers to resist the hermit nation amid its advancing nuclear missile programs, though some feat it could increase already heightened tensions on the Korean peninsula .
The North was removed later in 2008 in a bid to salvage a deal to halt its nuclear development. Syria was added to the list in 1979, with Iran following five years later.
Sudan was defined as such in 1993. The revelation comes as two kilometres from the North Korea border US troops are preparing for a "". Video captured by Channel 9's 60 minutes programme shows US troops training within eyeshot as a .

WATCH: Texas Agent Killed At Mexico Border, So Trump Halts Cabinet Meeting To Unleash Hell - Duration: 3:54.
Over the weekend, two brave Border Patrol agents stationed along the porous border between
Texas and Mexico were ambushed by a group of illegal immigrants who bashed them in the
head with blunt objects.
One of the agents, Rogelio Martinez, was killed on the scene, while the other agent was critically
injured.
Then, on Monday, President Donald Trump halted his Cabinet meeting in order to unleash hell
on the suspects who attacked the border patrol agents and those on the left who essentially
allowed the assault to take place thanks to their support for open borders.
On Sunday, a pair of Border Patrol agents were attacked while on duty in Texas.
One did not escape with his life.
The other agent, who was injured, was immediately sent to a local hospital where he remains
in serious condition.
"A U.S. Border Patrol agent died this morning as a result of injuries sustained while on
patrol in the Big Bend Sector," U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement.
"Agent Rogelio Martinez and his Big Bend Sector partner were responding to activity
while on patrol near Interstate 10, in the Van Horn Station area," the statement added.
"Agent Martinez's partner reported that they were both injured and in need of assistance,"
the statement continued.
"Responding agents provided immediate medical care, and transported both agents to a local
hospital.
Big Bend Sector was later told that Agent Martinez expired from his injuries.
His partner remains in the local hospital in serious condition."
Brandon Judd, the president of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) told the media,
"We don't know exactly what happened because we weren't there.
However, just from agents that were working in the area, reports are saying it was an
attack and it would appear to be an ambush."
President Donald Trump was furious when he heard about the tragic incident, as he has
been pushing Congress to approve an impenetrable border wall for months now.
At Monday's cabinet meeting, Trump paused to recognize the two brave men involved in
the ambush.
Glancing up from his notes, Trump said, "As you heard, we lost a border patrol officer
just yesterday, and another one was brutally beaten, and badly, badly hurt."
The president added, "We talk about the wall.
We're going to have the wall.
It's part of what we're doing.
We need it."
Indeed, America needs the border wall now more than ever.
Lives literally depend on it.
Americans voted for Trump because they know that the wall is a necessary component in
making our country safe again.
Without the wall, criminals will continue to pour into our country and harm our law-abiding
citizens.
Trump ended his Cabinet meeting on Monday with a heartfelt message to the two Border
Patrol agents' families, saying, "My respect to the families that were so badly hurt yesterday.
Because they were devastated, those two families were devastated."
Devastated is a good way to describe the shock of learning that your loved one will not return
home ever again after leaving for work one morning.
That is if words could adequately describe something so horrific.
The bleeding heart liberals who champion open borders as a means to "help" illegal immigrants
must realize that they are hurting American citizens in the process.
Quite literally, they have blood on their hands; the blood of Rogelio Martinez, a legal
U.S. citizen who gave his life in service to our country.
Please keep the families of these men in your prayers this week.
And, keep pushing to build the wall along our border with Mexico which will keep dangerous
illegal immigrants out!

19 Things You Didn't Know About MELANIA TRUMP! - Duration: 11:11.
19 Things You Didn't Know About Melania Trump!
19.
Humble Beginnings Melania Trump was born Melania Knavs on April
26th, 1970, in Novo Mesto in southeastern Slovenia.
Though she is now known for her fashion prowess, few know that this obsession started young.
Melania's mother, who was born in the small village of Raka, was a pattern maker for a
children's clothing manufacturer called Jutranja in Sevnica.
Her mother's work with clothing as well as Melania's interest in modeling help forge
her into the fashionista we know her as today.
18.
Studying Abroad After completing high school, Melania attended
college in Slovenia where she studied design and architecture at the University of Ljubljana
. Her frequent moving around has also resulted in Melania reportedly speaking six languages,
including English, French, Italian, German, Serbo-Croatian and Slovene, the last of which
is her native tongue.
Interestingly enough, her status as an American Citizen born in Slovenia makes her the first
First Lady to have been born in a Communist country - an ideology which classically has
opposed Western politics.
17.
A Model Child Melania apparently started her modeling career
at just 5 years old, but started becoming serious about it when she first appeared in
commercials at the age of 16.
When she turned 18, she signed with an Italian modeling agency in Milan.
In 1992 she was named as the runner-up in Jana Magazine's "Look of the Year" contest,
which netted her a potential international modeling contract.
She would go on to be featured as a model in the 2000 edition of Sports Illustrated's
famed Swimsuit Edition, as well as to be associated with the modeling agencies Irene Marie Management
Group and Trump Model Management.
16.
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
It has recently come to light that Melania's father, Victor Knavs, may have fathered another
son before his relationship with Melania's mother began.
Apparently a court battle ended in Knavs being required to pay child support for a Denis
Cigelnjak , despite Knavs originally denying being the boy's father.
Cigelnjak, who is now himself 50 years old, still lives in Slovenia and Melania has said
that she's never met her alleged half brother.
No word has surfaced from Cigelnjak to either confirm or deny the allegations that he is
in fact the long lost brother of Melania Trump.
15.
Undocumented Claims In 1996 Melania relocated to New York City
to further her modeling career, and was contracted almost immediately with the help of Italian
businessman Paolo Zampolli.
Although she entered the United States under a work visa, it has been rumored that during
this time Melania was paid more than $20,000 for 10 modeling jobs before she had legal
permission to work in the United States.
This has been denied however, with people representing Melania expounding that these
claims are unsubstantiated and contradict the legal record.
Since there have to date been no conclusive documents proving the claims against Melania
in this regard, it's likely this was merely an attempt to contrast her husband's stance
on illegal immigration.
14.
A Change of Name Melania first met Donald Trump in September
1998 while attending a Fashion Week party in New York City.
Although it is widely speculated that Trump was still married to Marla Maples at the time,
the two had been separated since 1997 and their divorce actually became final in June
of 1998, months before Trump originally met Melania.
Their romance was swift, but they didn't officially become engaged until 2004.
Their marriage took place on January 22nd, 2005 in Palm Beach, Florida.
It's worth noting that Former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, who was a Senator
at the time, both attended the Trump wedding.
13.
Traditionally Supportive During their courtship, Melania helped Donald
Trump campaign in his initial bid for the Presidency, which took place in the year 2000.
Trump was campaigning under the Reform Party, a center-right third party which aimed to
challenge conventional political ideas.
During this time Melania was asked what kind of First Lady she would be if Donald Trump
won, and she responded by saying that she would be a "very traditional (First Lady),
like Betty Ford or Jackie Kennedy", and that she would support her husband.
This was exemplified during the inauguration, which she attended in a blue dress which was
immediately compared to outfits the notoriously fashionable Jackie Kennedy wore during her
days as the First Lady.
12.
Ducking Popularity In 2005, Melania appeared in what has gone
on to be one of her most famous - and infamous - modeling jobs.
She starred in a commercial for the insurance company Aflac, alongside the much loved (and
much hated) Gilbert Gottfried and his abrasively voiced duck character.
She claimed during an interview that her purpose in the commercial was to "give Aflac some
sex appeal".
Since the 2016 election, the commercial has gone on to be something of a viral sensation
online, accruing millions of views on video streaming websites like YouTube and Facebook.
11.
Mother Melania Her marriage with Donald Trump has resulted
in just one child - Barron Trump was born March 20th, 2006 and is now 10 years old.
Although she takes great pride and responsibility in raising Barron - they do not use a maid
for their son, despite having plenty of wealth with which to do so - she is far from a clingy
mother.
Barron Trump has his own floor in the Manhattan Trump Penthouse.
Melania has said that this stage of a child's life is crucial to have a parent there for
him, and with her husband's new responsibilities, she intends to continue raising Barron.
10.
Official Business As is common and expected when dealing with
anyone who bears the Trump name, Melania has become something of a business mogul in her
own right.
To date, she has launched her own Jewelry collection (in 2010) and her own line of skin
care products (in 2013).
With these businesses and the aide of the Trump name, along with her profitable modeling
career, Melania has amassed a personal net worth of more than $11 million to date.
It's unclear what her involvement in her businesses will be going forward, since she could potentially
create a conflict of interest by promoting products as the First Lady of the United States,
a position which could be seen as giving her an unfair advantage.
9.
Powerful Kindness When she isn't busy with her duties as First
Lady, modeling for high fashion, running her own successful businesses, Melania Trump is
well known for her charitable nature and desire to help those in need.
She currently supports several charitable organizations, including the Breast Cancer
Research Foundation, the Police Athletic League, and the American Red Cross, among others.
In 2008, Melania was asked to participate in in the Fifth Annual Love Our Children Day
and the beginning of National Child Abuse Prevention Month by ringing the closing bell
at NASDAQ.
8.
Opulence Obsession In addition to an interest in clothing and
jewelry design, Melania is also a talented interior decorator.
She is responsible for many of the luxurious and even opulent furniture, art, and color
schemes of the various properties she owns with Donald Trump.
In fact, the famous three-story penthouse the Trumps lived in prior to moving to the
White House was decorated by Melania in conjunction with the aide of Angelo Donghia.
It's well known for being completely decked out in 24 karat gold.
7.
The Underdog Hillary Clinton and Melania Trump share more
in common than just being on opposing sides in the 2016 election and now the title of
First Lady of the United States.
They are apparently both the First Ladies who have ranked the lowest in terms of public
opinion.
Melania Trump so far has an opinion rating of 28 percent, where Hillary Clinton had an
approval rating of just 32 percent.
It's very early to tell how her rating will go, however, so for now we'll just have to
wait and see how she performs in the position of First Lady.
It's also speculated that much of the public's unfavorable opinion of Melania is merely backlash
to her husband's own contrasting and polarizing opinion ratings.
6.
Rooting For The Home Team Melania's home land of Slovenia has apparently
taken great interest in her rise to the right hand of the highest office in the world.
The Prime Minister of Slovenia, Miro Cerar, told the Associated Press that he'd like to
see "...the United States and Russia give some initiative" to Slovenia, and that "...in
this way, Slovenia could become a bridge between the two parties."
While the Russian leader Vladimir Putin rarely makes visits to western nations, he has apparently
visited Slovenia twice, and Russia is in good standing with the tiny nation of just two
million.

Melania Meme Mania As is common in today's internet-driven society,
Melania Trump became the subject of a viral online meme shortly after the Inauguration
Ceremony for her husband Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States.
During the ceremony, Melania was seen with a blank, expressionless look on her face.
When Donald turned toward her, Melania's face lit up in a beaming smile, only to quickly
fade back to expressionless after he turned back around.
The clip was quickly "memeified", appearing everywhere with captions along the lines of
"When you meet your boss in the elevator."
4.
Baring It All Melania's modeling career has even spanned
some nude photo shoots.
This puts her in a unique position as being the first First Lady in United States History
with officially published, paid nude photos available to the public.
Despite many of her husband's opponents claiming that he stands against freedom of speech and
expression, many of these same people have attacked Melania for having published nude
photos, claiming that they are indicative of a poor moral compass.
This may also be due in part to one set of photos featuring Melania posing in a compromising
position with another nude woman, but both she and Trump appear not to be concerned.
3.
Taking Down The Trolls Although Melania is apparently not very highly
rated as far as First Ladies go, at least not yet, she has already scored a major victory.
A story originally run on the website Daily Mail, which is a website somewhat notorious
for running unflattering stories, alleged that Melania Trump had worked as a "high-end
escort" previously in her life.
Melania of course flat out denied the allegation, and responded with a lawsuit against Daily
Mail for defamation of character.
The lawsuit claimed $150 million in damages for Melania, and after refiling the lawsuit,
the opponents settled out of court with an unspecified "substantial sum" being awarded
to Melania.
2.
Causing Kindness Many First Ladies pick a singular issue on
which to focus while their husband serves as President, and Melania Trump is no exception.
She's made it clear that she intends to go to war against a serious issue in our country:
cyberbullying . She's quoted as saying "We need to teach
our youth American values: kindness, honesty, respect, compassion, charity, understanding,
and cooperation."
Though she has not made any formal announcements about how she intends to fight this problem,
her track record in exuding kindness and helping those in need is sure to help her along the
way.
1.
Women Know Best Despite what some people may think, Melania
is open about the fact that she doesn't necessarily agree with everything her husband has said
along the campaign trail, nor in his early days as President of the United States.
During an interview she is quoted as saying "I don't agree with everything he says but,
you know, that is normal.
I'm my own person, I tell him what I think.
I'm standing very strong on the ground on my two feet and I'm my own person.
And I think that's very important in the relationship."
Despite these statements, she's come out in favor of some of President Trump's more divisive
stances, including those on immigration.

URGENT! BREAKING NEWS PRESIDENT TRUMP 11/21/2017 , NORTH KOREA - Duration: 21:30.

ALERT: O'Reilly Destroys Anti-Trump UCLA Dad, He Had This Coming - Duration: 3:11.
It is not very often that you see a parent respond ungratefully when their child gets
saved from a horrific circumstance.
It is even stranger to see the parent ungrateful when their child caused the heinous situation
to unfold.
Bill O' Reilly took to Twitter to talk about how President Trump "has every right to
call out the ingratitude of LaVar Ball."
Ball's son was arrested in China when he and two other UCLA teammates shoplifted and
got busted.
Instead of thanking President Trump for getting his son and teammates out of jail he downplayed
the entire situation, even making his son's crimes seem insignificant.
According to The Daily Mail, LaVar Ball was asked how he felt about President Trump saving
his shoplifting son from jail.
Ball's response was "Who?"
His son and UCLA basketball player, LiAngelo Ball–as well as his two teammates Jalen
Hill and Cody Riley, came back to the US this week after they were detained in China for
shoplifting.
Ball added, "What was he over there for?
Don't tell me nothing.
Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out."
Instead of being happy that his son isn't facing three to ten years in prison in China,
this is his response.
The students were arrested Tuesday after stealing sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton outlet by
their hotel.
The price of the glasses played a role in the length of their potential punishment.
Ball went on to describe the situation as "not a big deal."
He did mention that he was "happy how things were handled," but never personally thanked
or acknowledged the President.
LaVar Ball continued: "They try to make a big deal out of nothing sometimes.
I'm from L.A. I've seen a lot worse things happen than a guy taking some glasses."
His effort to downplay the situation was immediately noted by O'Reilly.
Mr. O'Reilly concluded: "The man's son was spared the Chinese criminal justice system
because Trump intervened.
Mr. Ball then insulted Trump.
Anyone who defends Mr. Ball is misguided in the extreme."
President Trump took to Twitter after the event to ask if people think that the UCLA
players will thank him for saving them.
The President also noted that they could have received up to ten years in prison for the
theft.
Surprisingly, all three players did come out to thank President Trump during a press conference
that took place after they made it home.
William Nee, a Hong-Kong based researcher of the Chinese court system, explained the
severity of their crime.
"I would say they could be in quite a bit of trouble if they have solid proof that they
shoplifted," Nee said.
The moral here is that a little gratitude goes a long way.
The political identity of the person who saved your son from ten years in prison should be
irrelevant.
Instead, gratitude could have been displayed bringing people closer together.
Bill O'Reilly covered the story last night on his official site where he decimated Ball
for not showing a little appreciation towards President Trump…and rightfully so.
