Breaking news--now trmp says he will meet Kim Jong Un one on one--of course the S Koreans, who announced this at the WH, want this--but is it WISE??
Don't think so, just one of those trmp super distractions.
As Mueller amps up and Stormy Daniels porn star, sues.
Michael Cohen ( trmp lawyer's) $130,000 payment, "out of his own money" Cohen says, was flagged as suspicious by the bank.
Cohen says he has not been repaid.
Stay tuned.
trmp tried to hold his wife's hand again as they got off the plane, sliding his own hand down her arm. What a move, so sly, even with his own wife.
She "put her hand away."
This whole trmp circus is full of the most perverted, lying, cheating people.
I wish we did not need to hear abt it all the time, and hope it ends soon.

Burmese python from wikipedia-- FYI
Although this species has a reputation for docility, they are very powerful animals, capable of inflicting severe bites or even killing a keeper by constriction.[31] They also consume large amounts of food, and due to their size, require large, often custom-built, secure enclosures. As a result, some are released into the wild, and become invasive species that devastate the environment. For this reason, some jurisdictions (including Florida due to the python invasion in the Everglades)[32] have placed restrictions on the keeping of Burmese pythons as pets. Violators could be imprisoned for more than 7 years or fined $500,000 if convicted.
Burmese pythons are opportunistic feeders; they eat almost any time food is offered, and often act hungry even when they have recently eaten. As a result, they are often overfed, causing obesity-related problems to be common in captive Burmese pythons.
Like the much smaller ball python, Burmese pythons are known to be easygoing or timid creatures, which means that if cared for properly, they can easily adjust to living near humans.[citation needed]
Handling
Audience volunteers holding an adult Burmese python
Although pythons are typically afraid of people due to their high stature, and generally avoid humans, special care is still required when handling them. Given their adult strength, multiple handlers (up to one person per meter of snake) are usually recommended.[33] Some jurisdictions require owners to hold special licenses, and as with any wild animal being kept in captivity, treating them with the respect an animal of this size commands is important.[citation n
3 tribal boys catch python --don't try this at home or anywhere in wild.
https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=yhs-mozilla-001&hsimp=yhs-001&hspart=mozilla&p=how+will+a+Karen+tribesman+catch+a+python#id=7&vid=73d1eeef71ec8c71e04a8c9ba40e1d35&action=view
Growing up, I always heard stories of man in the jungle who held his machete sharp side out, so when the python squeezed him, it was cut into pieces, but I don't know if this is true.
Pythons kill by squeezing and cobras with poison, but would you know the difference.
They've imported Indian tribesmen for catching Burmese pythons in Florida.
They should import Karen tribesmen from Burma who are noted hunters.
They should also start a fashion for python handbags.

Must watch--Richard Engel reports on N. Korea.
http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show
At the start of the program, he mentions N Korean arm sales to Burma, now called Myanmar.
Engel looks at open source and Middlebury Institute in CA, where experts can look at public footage, for instance of a missile launch, and determine location (geolocation), where the launch site is, using Google Earth, and if the image has been manipulated.
They also use social media.
What they do is much like what I do, with respect to Burma, but of course what they do is more technical.
Engel also reports on an activist who managed to flee from N. Korea, and the number is very small, maybe in the low dozens.
One book I have read is Dear Leader, non-fiction, agented (literary agent, not secret agent) by uber agent known as The Jackal, Andrew Wylie.
Anyway, this is worth watching.
Importantly, Engel says that Trmp's talk of a "pre-emptive strike" is worse than useless, because the N Koreans already have a nuclear warhead that can fit on their missiles (see onder Rachel Maddow program)and so "any strike will lead to nuclear war."
Incidentally, Engel and his wife have a seriously brain damaged young child, who will never be able to look after himself.
This I learned from reading People magazine, while waiting in my dentist's waiting room, for my interminable dental appointments.
In this interview, Engel said that in some ways it was easier for him, than for his wife, because he could "get away" on assignment, and as "it is sometimes dangerous, I have to concentrate (in the moment)."
From decades of talking to committed dissidents, from many different countries, (one was from S. Africa), I learned that dissidents don't do what they do because they are rich, well connected and have no problems of their own, or to scratch their butt.
I learned from the lady who was working to help Ashin (Rev.) Gambira of Saffron Revolution fame that she had needed a kidney transplant for some time, and was so happy that day I invited her to a formal reception in her home city of Chicago, because she said, her brother had just told her he would donate one of his kidneys for her.
It was very strange. I always thought she was quiet and laid back because she was a Buddhist.
She worked in the same university as my hosts, and yet, they did not know each other.

Truly incredible--Melania Trmp came into USA on an Einstein visa for "special ability."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/questions-linger-about-how-melania-trump-a-slovenian-model-scored-the-einstein-visa/2018/02/28/d307ddb2-1b35-11e8-ae5a-16e60e4605f3_story.html?utm_term=.3ed4ee644ae3
I truly believe the trmp admin will unravel soon.
In the old days, they would just have sued the Wapo.
Now trmp did not even offer to save his son in law but left it up to Kelly.
Stay tuned.
The Reporters and Robert Mueller should share the Nobel Peace Prize, for safe guarding the constitution and democracy in America.
Maybe "extraordinary ability" was ability to snag the d., and walk on 4 " heels after Hurricane Harvey.

Unrelated, but I can say for a fact that Norway did more for Burmese democracy too.

Time I read poetry with professional dancers --
http://glass-poetry.com/volume-one/issue-two/may-kaung-from.html
I wrote it while invited to read poetry with Liz Lerhman Dance Studio.
So far I have had my poetry profiled with 2 dance groups. I written poetry for 2 weddings.
The other one was in Philadelphia with dancer choreographer Roko Kawai.
Martha at L L D S also made some dance movements, based on one story I told her, about running out of my room to chat with the mali (gardener) when I heard the water spray come on, in Boulder, CO, only to find no human being there. She made the movements of the sprinkler with her hand.
The other dancer taught us to walk fast at 90 degrees to each other, in a chess board pattern, using our peripheral vision so we never collided, we also had to walk pretty fast.
I also forgot time I read poetry with musicians and dancers in Boulder, CO.

Novella--FGM--about the mutilation of women.
https://www.amazon.com/FGM-Story-about-Mutilation-Women-ebook/dp/B00KJ3FUOE/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
This novella is especially priced at below market price, in an effort to raise awareness of the sexual abuse of women, in some cases, "traditional" institutionalized abuse.
I wrote it because a classmate from Egypt wrote about it. I had not heard of it before.
So I did some research and wrote it.
It is not a social or medical report.
It's a short story and fiction. In other words, it's a made up story, about imagined people, but nevertheless, FGM still happens, sometimes in the developed world. Sometimes, amazingly, the mothers are complicit.
I think one reader was expecting a medical report with aggregative statistics, but it was not my intention to write a report.

My handy activists' handbook on the Rohingya Genocide in Burma--thanks for buying my book.
https://www.amazon.com/Rohingya-Genocide-Burma-2012-2017-Actvists/dp/1981805028
I wanted to make a documentary, but the movie company wanted me to have a production company of my own already.
I may start a Go Fund Me page.
Up to date and timely and everything you need to know about the Rohingya Genocide in Burma.
December 18, 2017
Format: Paperback
I decided to write this book, as there is already an excellent academic book on the Rohingya as well as a journalistic book which interviewed both perpetrators and survivors.
I wanted to give you a lot of information in a compact form, as well as the names of leading specialists and and what we have done and hope to do.
A summary of a history of Muslims in Burma, the legacy of wars of territorial conquest and ethnic minority prisoners of war is also given as well as many images and maps.
Rape was a weapon of war has been catalogued and confirmed by groups such as Human Rights Watch, Shan Women Action News Network, and other groups, not just against Muslims, but also against other minorities, such as Christians, Karen, Shan, Chin and other groups.
I also go into the question of why it is misinformed to blame Aung San Suu Kyi, who is NOT a de facto leader, but a nominal leader, while the junta is still a junta.
One Christian of Persian origin asked me if junta is the name of an Islamic terrorist group.
Junta is a military government.
Of course, the Burmese junta would love to label the 20! "terrorists" with muskets and home made weapons as "terrorists"
BUT instead we now talk of the Rohingya Genocide.

It looks like DJT WH is unraveling fast. When it reaches a critical mass, it collapses. Or the straw that broke the camel's back, so many straws, some millions of $$$
Please watch MSNBC and The Rachel Maddow Show and others.
Too much to keep up.
Kushner Co. got hundreds of millions of $$$ for mortage on 2 troubled buildings he had.
He was clearly using his WH connection for private business purposes.
Let's see what transpires by Friday.
