George Washington's church to remove plaque honouring first US president as monuments row takes twist

Posted: 29 Oct 2017 10:23 AM PDT

George Washington's church to remove plaque honouring first US president as monuments row takes twistThe church where George Washington worshipped is removing a plaque honouring the memory of America's first president in the latest example of the way historic monuments are influencing contemporary politics. Officers at Christ Church, in Alexandria, Virginia, said it was removing the plaque for the slave-owning president along with one for a second parishioner, General Robert Lee, who rose to the head of the Confederate army during the Civil War. "The Vestry has unanimously decided that the plaques create a distraction in our worship space and may create an obstacle to our identity as a welcoming church, and an impediment to our growth and to full community with our neighbours," church officers said in a letter to the congregation following a month-long consultation period. Washington was one of the congregation's founding members in 1773, paying for pew number five, while General Lee's daughter left the church $10,000 in her will. The two plaques have hung on either side of the altar since 1870, soon after Lee's death, paid for by city residents. Workers in New Orleans prepare to remove a statue of General Robert Lee in May Credit: AP But local authorities across the US have removed a string of Confederate statues and memorials from public places in recent years. Critics say there is no place in modern America for symbols associated with racism and slavery. The issue is highly charged. One person died in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August when counter-protesters clashed with white nationalists protesting against the removal of a General Lee Statue. All are welcome. (Except George Washington.) pic.twitter.com/xy6cct4C8k— Matt Lewis (@mattklewis) October 28, 2017 The controversies prompted Donald Trump to ponder whether Washington would be targeted next. In its letter, first reported by the Republican Standard website, church officers said that times had changed. "We understand that both Washington and Lee lived in times much different than our own, and that each man, in addition to his public persona, was a complicated human being, and like all of us, a child of God," they wrote. The plaques are due to be relocated by next summer as the church decides how better to commemorate its famous worshippers.

Carmelo Anthony posted a photo of the Oklahoma City Thunder's damaged charter planeThis looks worse than it really was. But damn it looks bad, right? Members of the Oklahoma City Thunder were greeted by a surprising sight when their charter plane landed in Chicago in the early hours of Saturday morning: a giant, ugly dent in the plane's nose.  SEE ALSO: NAACP issues travel advisory for American Airlines Carmelo Anthony shared a look at the damage on Instagram, along with a completely fair question: WTF? What possibly could we have hit in the SKY at this time of night? Everyone is Safe, Though. "All Praise Due" #ThunderStrong A post shared by Carmelo Anthony (@carmeloanthony) on Oct 27, 2017 at 11:12pm PDT The aircraft, which landed safely when all was said and done, "likely encountered a bird," according to a Delta Airlines statement shared with ESPN. A happy ending for the team, but not so much for that poor bird.  With a dent of that size, you'd think it was a rough ride for the Thunder. Not so, according to a team official. The flight was "a little rough," according to ESPN, but not in a way that left everyone aboard alarmed.

In truth, the weatherproof enclosure — called a "radome" (a portamanteau of "radar" and "dome") — holds the plane's radar antenna. And clearly, it's easily damaged when some poor bird collides with it in midair. Still, what a jarring thing to see as you're exiting a plane.

Once again, Kenya delays election in some areas over risk of violence

Posted: 28 Oct 2017 01:26 AM PDT

Once again, Kenya delays election in some areas over risk of violenceBy Ed Cropley and George Obulutsa NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenyan authorities said on Friday they would indefinitely delay further attempts to hold a repeat presidential election in some areas due to the risk of violence, as the opposition rejected the re-run as "a sham" and said the polls should be cancelled. The east African nation had been due to hold elections on Saturday in four western counties, after residents blocked roads and clashed with police on during an attempt to hold the polls there on Thursday. Opposition leader Raila Odinga pulled out of the contest earlier this month, saying the contest against President Uhuru Kenyatta was not going to be fair.

After getting locked in a convenience store cooler a man decides to stay and drink beer

After getting locked in a convenience store cooler a man decides to stay and drink beerThere are worse places to get trapped than a walk-in cooler filled to the brim with bottles of beer, but very few people would stay there voluntarily.  A very lucky unlucky 38-year-old man in Wisconsin decided to take advantage of the binge drinking possibilities, according to police. The man's name was not released but police said he made a stop at Kwik Trip convenience store Tuesday to buy some beer but got stuck in the cooler when it was locked at 11:50 p.m.   SEE ALSO: HOPii is an all-in-one personal brewery that fits on your countertop Temperatures can reach 32 degrees, but still the man weathered on for a cold brew.

JFK files release is Trump’s latest clash with spy agencies

Posted: 28 Oct 2017 06:20 PM PDT

JFK files release is Trump's latest clash with spy agenciesIt was a showdown 25 years in the making: With the world itching to finally get a look at classified Kennedy assassination files, and the deadline for their release just hours away, intelligence officials were still angling for a way to keep their secrets. President Donald Trump, the one man able to block the release, did not appreciate their persistence. He did not intend to make this easy. Like much else surrounding investigations of the 1963 killing of President John F. Kennedy, this week's release of 2,800 records from the JFK files was anything but smooth. It came together only at the last minute, with White House lawyers still fielding late-arriving requests for additional redactions in the morning and an irritated Trump continuing to resist signing off on the request, according to an account by two White House officials. They spoke only on condition of anonymity to discuss internal discussions. The tale of the final hours before the congressionally mandated 25-year release deadline on Thursday adds a new chapter to the story of Trump's troubled relationship with his spy agencies. He again flashed his skepticism and unpredictability in dealing with agencies long accustomed to a level of deference. Intelligence officials, meanwhile, were again left scratching their heads about a president whose impulses they cannot predict. JFK assassination | The conspiracy theories And those officials had their own story tell, some rejecting the notion they were slow to act on Trump's expectations for the documents. The CIA began work months ago to get its remaining assassination-related documents ready for release on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the process. The person, who was not authorized to publicly to discuss the process and spoke only on condition of anonymity, said the goal was to have all the agency's documents ready to be released in full or with national security redactions before the deadline. Since taking office, Trump has challenged the integrity of intelligence leaders, moved to exert more control over U.S. spying agencies and accused his predecessor of using government spycraft to monitor his campaign. In the JFK files matter, one White House official said, Trump wanted to make clear he wouldn't be bullied by the agencies. Whatever occurred in the lead-up to deadline day, Trump was irritated Thursday that agencies still were arguing for more redactions. The president earlier in the week had tweeted to tease the release of the documents, heightening the sense of drama on a subject that has sparked the imaginations of conspiracy theorists for decades. Under a 1992 law, all of the records related to the assassination were to be made public unless explicitly withheld by the president. JFK Files are released, long ahead of schedule!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 28, 2017 Just before the release Thursday, Trump wrote in a memorandum that he had "no choice" but to agree to requests from the CIA and FBI to keep thousands of documents secret because of the possibility that releasing the information could still harm national security. Two aides said Trump was upset by what he perceived to be overly broad secrecy requests, adding that the agencies had been explicitly warned about his expectation that redactions be kept to a minimum. "The president and White House have been very clear with all agencies for weeks: They must be transparent and disclose all information possible," White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah said Friday. Late last week, Trump received his first official briefing on the release in an Oval Office meeting that included Chief of Staff John Kelly, White House Counsel Don McGahn and National Security Council legal adviser John Eisenberg. Trump made it clear he was unsatisfied with the pace of declassification. After strict consultation with General Kelly, the CIA and other Agencies, I will be releasing ALL #JFKFiles other than the names and...— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 28, 2017 Trump's tweets, an official said, were meant as a signal to the intelligence community to take seriously his threats to release the documents in their entirety. According to White House officials, Trump accepted that some of the records contained references to sensitive sources and methods used by the intelligence community and law enforcement and that declassification could harm American foreign policy interests. But after having the scope of the redactions presented to him, Trump told aides he did not believe them to be in the spirit of the law. On Thursday, Trump's top aides presented him with an alternative to simply acquiescing to the agency requests: He could temporarily allow the redactions while ordering the agencies to launch a new comprehensive examination of the records still withheld or redacted in part. Trump accepted the suggestion, ordering that agencies be "extremely circumspect" about keeping the remaining documents secret at the end of the 180-day assessment. JFK Files | Why now? "After strict consultation with General Kelly, the CIA and other agencies, I will be releasing ALL JFK files other than the names and addresses of any mentioned person who is still living," Trump wrote in a Friday tweet. "I am doing this for reasons of full disclosure, transparency and in order to put any and all conspiracy theories to rest." Trump returned to the topic in a Saturday night tweet: "JFK Files are released, long ahead of schedule!" The deadline set by law came Thursday, the day the documents were released.

Why one major 'Stranger Things' star was missing at the Season 2 premiere this week

Posted: 28 Oct 2017 10:11 AM PDT

Why one major 'Stranger Things' star was missing at the Season 2 premiere this weekOne Stranger Things star was notably absent from Thursday's Season 2 premiere in Los Angeles. British actor Charlie Heaton, who plays creepy photo stalker man Jonathan Byers in the Netflix series, was barred entry to the U.S. last Saturday. SEE ALSO: Netflix is making a 'Stranger Things' after-show to feed the obsession The reason? A drug-sniffing dog reportedly picked up on something that prompted a search of Heaton's luggage, at which point authorities discovered "a small amount of cocaine," according to the Associated Press. Heaton was neither arrested nor charged, but he was barred from entering the U.S. and promptly sent back to London. It's worth noting here that the AP's report comes via an anonymous source — an official who "couldn't discuss the matter publicly." A Friday night report from People contains the same information, via an unnamed law enforcement source. That story also includes a vague statement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection which lays out the federal agency's rules for handling foreign nationals in violation of controlled substance laws. It read: "A violation, conspiracy to violate or simply an attempt to violate any U.S. State, federal or any foreign government controlled substance violation renders a foreign national inadmissible to the United States." Heaton hasn't yet made any public statements on the matter, though this would explain his absence from Thursday's premiere.
