Donald Trump Fires Scaramucci 9 Days After Appointment (communication direct) :  US president, Donald Trump, has endorsed the removal of White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci. He was on the job for only 9 days. Scaramucci’s sack was made by Trump’s new chief of staff, John Kelly, who was sworn in on Monday. The wealthy former Street financier had drawn criticism after calling a reporter to give a profanity-laced tirade against his colleagues. Trump’s former chief of staff Reince Priebus and spokesman Sean Spicer both left their post over Scaramucci’s appointment A three-sentence statement from the White House reads: “Anthony Scaramucci will be leaving his role as White House Communications Director. “Mr Scaramucci felt it was best to give Chief of Staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team. We wish him all the best.” Earlier in the day, Trump tweeted there is “No WH chaos”, referring to reports about fighting among White...

Game of Throne Original Script Got Leaked: HBO said Monday its network was victimized by a cyberattack, and media reports said the hack resulted in the leak of a script of the popular series “Games of Thrones” and content from other productions. A statement by the Time Warner-owned TV group said a “cyber incident” resulted in “the compromise of proprietary information,” and that the company had contacted law enforcement and outside cybersecurity firms. The statement did not indicate what was compromised, but several media reports said hackers obtained the script of a new episode of the award-winning fantasy series as well as unaired episodes of two other programs, “Ballers” and “Room 104.” “Any intrusion of this nature is obviously disruptive, unsettling and disturbing for all of us,” HBO chief Richard Plepler said in a memo to staff. “I can assure you that senior leadership and our extraordinary technology team, along with outside experts, are working round the clock to pr...

 USA And JAPAN Collaborate To Destroy North Korea : Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday and agreed on the need for more action on North Korea. Nikki Haley, U.S. Ambassador to the UN, said in a statement China must decide if it is willing to back imposing stronger U.N. sanctions on North Korea over Friday night’s long-range missile test, the North’s second this month. Any new U.N. Security Council resolution “that does not significantly increase the international pressure on North Korea is of no value”, Haley said, adding that Japan and South Korea also needed to do more. Abe told reporters after his conversation with Trump that repeated efforts by the international community to find a peaceful solution to the North Korean issue had yet to bear fruit in the face of Pyongyang’s unilateral “escalation”. “International society, including Russia and China, need to take this seriously and increase pressure,” Abe said. He said J...

Donald Trump Reorgernizes White House -  Retired Gen. John Kelly President Donald Trump's new chief of staff is entering a West Wing battered by crisis. Retired Gen. John Kelly, previously the Homeland Security secretary, takes over Monday from the ousted Reince Priebus. Trump hopes Kelly can bring some military order to an administration weighed down by a stalled legislative agenda, a cabal of infighting West Wing aides and a stack of investigations. Still, Kelly's success in a chaotic White House will depend on how much authority he is granted and whether Trump's dueling aides will put aside their rivalries to work together. Also unclear is whether a new chief of staff will have any influence over the president's social media histrionics. Former Trump campaign manager Cory Lewandowski, who was ousted from the campaign in June 2016, said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that he expected Kelly would "restore order to the staff" but also stress...

Mourinho Not Good Enough for Chelsea -  Antonio Conte Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, has said he does not want to suffer the same fate as two of his predecessors – Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti – at Stamford Bridge. Mourinho and Ancelotti were sacked the next season after winning the Premier League title with the Blues. Conte made these remarks, after their 2-1 defeat to Inter Milan in their International Champions Cup match in Singapore on Saturday. Stevan Jovetic and Ivan Perisic scored for the Serie A side, before Geoffrey Kondogbia’s comical own goal, to condemn the Premier League champions to their second successive defeat in their pre-season tour of Asia. Chelsea lost 3-2 to Bayern Munich in their last fixture. “I think that we played against two strong teams, Bayern and Inter, in a period that is an important period where we are working very hard,” Conte told reporters after the game. “To play three games with the same players, they are tired, very tired...

Buhari ill Health  -  Oshiomhole Reveals How The President Really Is: Immediate past governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole, has admitted that President Muhammadu Buhari is sick. He, however, said the sickness was not as worse as many people may believe. He said the recent visit to the ailing president was a clear indication that those wishing him death have been put to shame. Speaking with Vanguard on the development, Oshiomole described Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti as a mad man who is out to disgrace others. He said, “President is sick but it is not as bad as what people are saying. Some were carrying rumor that he was on life support but people have seen at least that, that is not true.” On the constant attack on the president by Fayose, Oshiomole said, “I don’t like to discuss Fayose because when he makes his statements, it only reminds me of an Igbo proverb which says that if a responsible man is having his bath after a hard day’s work and he remov...

Sex Style That Renders A Man Impotent: Blokes are at greatest risk of suffering a “broken penis” when having s*x doggy style, experts warn. It comes just ahead of the missionary position. The third most likely cause is “overzealous masturbation”, followed by the cowgirl, where the woman straddles her fella. A penile fracture happens when tubes keeping up an erection bend with an agonising pop after being accidentally thrust against a hard object such as a partner’s pubic bone. NHS figures suggest up to 18 cases were treated by hospital medics in the UK last year. The risk is highest during “ vigorous sexual intercourse”. Men in their 20s and 30s are most likely to suffer due to better fitness and firmer erections. In one case, US doctors in Seattle treated a patient who had tried to penetrate his wife with a flying leap. The most risky s*x positions were drawn up by Brazilian researchers after quizzing 90 victims. Their study was published in the International Journal of ...

Buhari - Evidence By Asari Dokubo' of the President being a Thief And liar:  Ex-Niger Delta militant leader, AsariDokubo has reacted to the alleged $90 billion fraud charge brought against former Petroleum Minister, Dieziani Alison-Madueke. In a video published on Facebook (chukswase) Dokubo described President Muhammadu Buhari and members of his cabinet as liars. He stressed that if Alison-Madueke actually looted $90 billion at the current exchange rate and has returned it back to the national coffers, there was no need for the federal government to be seeking external borrowings to finance infrastructure development across the nation. He accused President Buhari of embezzling no less that N30 billion Naira from the oil sector during his time as Petroleum Minister and Chairman of Petroluem ‎Trust Fund (PTF) under the late Sani Abacha administration. Dokubo also chided Nigerian music sensations Don Jazzy and Davido for condemning Alison-Madueke without first seekin...

North Korea leader ' Kim Jong-Un' Plans to Invade USA: Kim Jong-Un boasted of North Korea’s ability to strike any target in the US after a second ICBM test that weapons experts said Saturday could even bring New York into range -– in a potent challenge to President Donald Trump. China condemned the test but US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Beijing and Moscow bore “unique responsibility” for the growing threat posed by the reclusive North. Under Kim’s leadership North Korea has accelerated its drive towards a credible nuclear strike capability, in defiance of international condemnation and multiple sets of UN sanctions. Kim said the test “is meant to send a grave warning to the US” and demonstrated the North’s ability to launch “at any place and time,” the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said. The “leader said proudly the test also confirmed all the US mainland is within our striking range,” it said. Trump denounced the launch as “reckless and da...

Brazilian striker Neymar stormed out of a Barcelona training session on Thursday as speculation mounted about a world-record move to Paris St Germain.

Manchester City Defeated Real Madrid 4-1 in Los Angeles Yesterday: Manchester City defeated Real Madrid 4-1 in Los Angeles yesterday without new £52m signing Benjamin Mendy. A crowd of 93,000 saw City earn their first win of pre-season with goals by Nicolas Otamendi, Raheem Sterling, John Stones and 17-year-old Brahim Diaz. In Mendy’s absence, Danilo made his debut at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the 26-year-old Brazilian starting at left-back against his former club, having signed for £26.5m. “Today we saw how good he can play,” Guardiola said. ‘He is a competitor.

Donald Trump - US Senate In Face-off Over Health law Overhaul: Republican leaders in the U.S. Senate are now trying to win support for limited changes in the country’s health care law after failing both to repeal it outright and to replace it with new policies. The new effort Thursday is aimed at winning enough votes to approve what Republicans are calling a “skinny” bill that would void part of the seven-year-old affordable care act. The proposal would end the requirement that most Americans buy health insurance or pay a penalty if they don’t, and that employers must provide workers medical insurance, in addition to abolishing a tax on medical devices. But the scaled-down effort would leave intact much of what is commonly called Obamacare, the signature domestic legislative achievement of former President Barack Obama, including a provision requiring insurers to sell policies to people with pre-existing medical conditions that are costly to treat. So far, however, Republic...

US Admiral - I’ll nuke China…if: The US Pacific Fleet commander said, on Thursday, he would launch a nuclear strike against China if President Donald Trump ordered it, according to a report by Associated Press (AP). Admiral Scott Swift was responding to a hypothetical question at an Australian National University security conference following a major joint US-Australian military exercise off the Australian coast. When asked by an academic in the audience whether he would make a nuclear attack on China next week if Trump ordered it, Swift reportedly said: “The answer would be yes.” He then warned against the US military shifting its allegiance from its commander in chief. “So, every member of the US military has sworn an oath to defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic and to obey the officers and the president of the United States as the commander in chief appointed over us. So, this is, this is core to the American democracy an...

Man Accused Of Impregnating 11-Year Old - "she raped me when I was asleep" A man accused of sexually assaulting and impregnating an 11-year-old girl claims she raped him when he was asleep.

The 38-year-old man was arrested after tests showed the teenager was four months pregnant.

Assistant District Attorney Jill O’Connor said “when the defendant was told ...

Man Utd: Jose Mourinho Wants To Sign One More Player In ‘Difficult’ Transfer Market Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says he might have to settle for only one more signing because of the “difficult” transfer window. He suggested clubs were demanding inflated prices for players. “We are not a club that is ready to pay what the clubs want,” said Mourinho, who has signed two players this summer after asking United for four. “I’m used to clubs paying big for big players. Now everybody pays big money for good players.” United have spent £75m on Everton striker Romelu Lukaku and £31m on Benfica defender Victor Lindelof since the end of last season. The capture of Belgium international Lukaku pushed the total spent by Premier League clubs in this transfer window beyond £500m. Accountancy firm Deloitte said Premier League sides are on course to surpass the record £1.165bn they spent last summer. On Wednesday, Chelsea agreed a fee of about £50m with Real Madrid for forw...

Donald Trump Encourage Friendly Foreign Leaders, Leaves Foes Cautious: Are you a friend or foe? That seems to be uppermost in President Donald Trump's approach to foreign policy in the first six months of office. The probe at home into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election continues to be a thorn in his side, bedeviling Trump's apparent desire to have warm relations with Russia's Vladimir Putin, and the initial "bromance" with China's Xi Jinping also buckled under geopolitical and economic disagreements. But there are others who have been lavished with the president's favor. Who is in the friend camp is clear from the president's foreign travels, actions and statements. To varying degrees, his support has emboldened favored countries to carry out contentious regional or domestic policies. Some traditional U.S foes, though, could now find themselves in a more precarious position than they did under President Barack Obama, who generall...

Donald Trump Prohibit Transgender People In Military: Transgender individuals will not be allowed to serve in the U.S. military “in any capacity,” President Donald Trump said on Wednesday on Twitter. The decision would reverse a policy announced in 2016 under former president Barack Obama. “After consultation with my generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military,” Trump wrote in a series of tweets. “Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.” Then-defence secretary Ash Carter said in June 2016 that transgender individuals could serve openly and would no longer be discharged or separated from the military solely for that reason. The all-volunteer U.S. military needed to be able to recruit the best people...

14 Members Of a pakistani Village Council Held Over 'Rape To Rape' Offence: Fourteen members of a Pakistani village council have been arrested for ordering the rape of a teenage girl as punishment for a rape committed by her brother, police said, on Wednesday. The incident occurred earlier this month in the neighbourhood of Raja Ram in Muzaffarabad, a suburb of the central city of Multan, investigators told AFP. “A jirga (village council) had ordered the rape of a 16-year-old girl as punishment, as her brother had raped a 12-year-old,” said Allah Baksh, a local police official.

The council then ordered the complainant to rape the sister of the accused in return, Baksh said – an order which was duly carried out. The allegations were confirmed by Rashid Taheem, the police officer heading the investigation. “Both the parties had filed cases...
