Foreign Affairs / Trump Impeachment Postponed: Vote On President's Abuse Of Power by Sophiejonas: 9:50am On Dec 14, 2019 |
After a contentious session debate lasting all of Thursday, House judiciary committee chair Jerrold Nadler postponed voting on articles of impeachment against Donald Trump until 10am on Friday. Mr Nadler's announcement came after 14 hours of contentious debate, during which Republicans on the committee decried the process by which the articles of impeachment for abuse of power and obstruction of congress were being considered. If the full House of Representatives approves the impeachment resolution — which could happen as early as Tuesday — the House will then refer the articles of impeachment to the US senate, which will hold a trial with US chief justice John Roberts presiding in place of the vice-president. The judiciary committee’s Republican members spent most of the day-long session raising many of now-familiar objections to the process by which the House’s Democratic majority has endeavoured to make Mr Trump the third American president to face an impeachment trial in the Senate. North Dakota Republican Kelly Armstrong complained that "abuse of power" had long been a charge levelled at presidents by members of the opposite political party, but said such an accusation was not a substitute for specific high crimes and misdemeanours. He warned that impeaching Mr Trump on abuse of power charges would set a precedent that Democrats would come to regret. He said: The problem we're running into, which is going to last far longer than today and far longer than this congress, is that this will become the new normal. Tennessee Democrat Steve Cohen countered that abuse of power is "the most impeachable crime [Trump] can be charged with" because it involves the subversion of America's elections. He said: This is the most abusive act we can imagine, trying to influence our elections with foreign interference. U.S representative, Jamie Raskin, noted that Mr Trump had recently been forced to pay a $2m (£1.5m) fine for misusing his own charity foundation, and $25m (£18.6m) in restitution to students at his Trump University which the New York attorney general called a classic bait and switch operation. He said: It's very clear from multiple witnesses exactly what President Trump wanted to get from President Zelensky – he wanted a statement on television that Ukraine ... was going to investigate Vice President Biden, and a statement contradicting the 2016 understanding by our intelligence committee and Special Counsel Mueller that there'd been a sweeping and systematic campaign by Russia to interfere ... and say that it was Ukraine that interfered.Source: https://lifewithcuttons.com.ng/2019/12/14/trump-impeachment-postponed-vote-on-presidents-abuse-of-power-2/ 1 Like 1 Share

Celebrities / Kim Kardashian Reveals She Had Five Operations After Giving Birth To North&Saint by Sophiejonas: 10:24pm On Dec 13, 2019 |
Kim Kardashian recently spoke on the multiple surgeries she had to undergo after giving birth to North & Saint West and also disclosed that the doctors wouldn't put another embryo inside of her because it was too dangerous. The business mogul and mother of four divulged informations about all the complications she faced while carrying her children North and Saint West and the multiple surgeries she had to undergo after giving birth to both of them. Kim had a condition called preeclampsia that made her organs shut down and after she gave birth to North, her placenta never came out. In a video, she talked on the many complications she had while pregnant with her first two children. Also, she said she had to undergo five surgeries after giving birth to them to fix the damage that all of that did from the inside. She added that while she wanted to try to carry another child, the doctors wouldn't allow it. She said: I asked my doctors, ‘Can I do it one more time?’ And they were like, ‘We won’t even put an embryo in you—that would be like malpractice.Source: https://lifewithcuttons.com.ng/2019/12/13/kim-kardashian-reveals-she-had-five-operations-after-giving-birth-to-north-saint-west/

Politics / Nigerian Senate Refuses To Disclose Outcome Of Senator Elisha Abbo Investigation by Sophiejonas: 9:04pm On Dec 13, 2019 |
Nigerian Senate on Thursday December 12 said it can not reveal the outcome of its investigation against Adamawa lawmaker, Elisha Abbo, to the public. Recall that Senator Abbo was caught on camera assaulting a woman in a intimacy gadget shop in Abuja. According to section 88 of the Constitution, it empowers the National Assembly to investigate allegations of misconduct against members but gives no restriction on public knowledge. Although such investigations cannot be aimed to punish, the section states that it shall only be either to “make laws with respect to any matter within its legislative competence and correct any defects in existing laws” or “expose corruption, inefficiency or waste in the execution or administration of laws within its legislative competence”. The Senate spokesperson, Godiya Akwashiki, said this while speaking with journalists after plenary on Thursday, December 12th: I know vividly when that issue was brought to the plenary under matters of urgent importance, a senator raised an observation saying this issue is in a court of law. It’s not an issue we should disturb ourselves over.Source: https://lifewithcuttons.com.ng/2019/12/13/nigerian-senate-refuses-to-disclose-outcome-of-senator-elisha-abbos-investigation/

Crime / Training Of Saudi Arabian Students Suspended By Pentagon For Security Review by Sophiejonas: 6:10pm On Dec 11, 2019 |
On Tuesday December 10, the Pentagon announced it was temporarily suspending operational training for Saudi military students in the United States due to a shooting rampage last week by a Saudi air force officer. A 21-year-old lieutenant in the Saudi Royal Air Force, Mohammed Alshamrani, opened fire in a classroom at Pensacola Naval Air Station in Florida on Friday, killing three American sailors and wounding eight other people before being shot dead by police. Alshamrani, who was armed with a lawfully purchased Glock 9mm handgun posted a manifesto on Twitter before the shooting denouncing America as "a nation of evil." According to the senior Defense Department officials, the Saudi Arabian military students in the United States will continue classroom instruction but operational training is halted pending a security review. Deputy Secretary of Defense, David Norquist, ordered a review to be completed within 10 days of policies for screening foreign students. The move applies to all Saudi military students currently undergoing training in the United States. The ones who are pilots will be grounded. The shooting struck a nerve in the United States with its echoes of the September 11, 2001 attacks, in which Saudi citizens accounted for 15 of the 19 hijackers that flew airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Events / Couple Whose Wedding IV Had ‘no Reception’, Had A Wedding Reception(photos) by Sophiejonas: 9:03am On Sep 03, 2019 |
Over the weekend, a couple whose wedding IV was the trending topic because it had a bold ‘no reception’ written on the IV, actually had a wedding reception courtesy of family and friends. The groom, Adewale Yusuf, wrote on his twitter account: so the weekend was full of drama as our wedding IV trended because of our #NoReception decision. I’m glad my wife is laughing about it now, because it wasn’t funny over the weekend. Thanks to everyone that insulted or defended us, we’re happy with our decision. We’re happy with our decision. He said he was tricked to a reception by his colleagues. According to Yusuf, they wanted a small wedding but got dragged into a surprise wedding reception which was all paid for by his mentors and friends. He wrote on his Instagram account: My wife and I had decided to not have a reception party after our wedding. Just church service, nothing big. But, on the day of the event after we had taken our pictures, I was tricked to the office by my mentors and to my surprise my team and friends had planned a surprise reception party for us.I have never been that surprised in my entire life. I was so shocked, that it took me hours to recover fully. One of the most heartwarming thing was that the team members who have moved on from the company, contributed towards the reception, as well. I believe in team spirit and that action reinforced my belief.

Travel / Doctor Dragged Off United Airlines Flight Finally Speaks On The Incident ( Video by Sophiejonas: 11:26am On Apr 10, 2019 |
David Dao , a passenger of United Airlines Flight3411, who was dragged off & screaming from his seat on April 9, 2017, has finally broken his silence by coming out to say that the incident caused him to shed a lot of tears. Dao’s case captured worldwide attention in 2017 when he was forcibly removed from an overbooked flight at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, resulting in a concussion, a broken nose and two missing teeth, according to ABC News. Dao said he decided to speak out publicly as a way to thank those who stood behind him. Dao, who has not spoken publicly about the incident since it happened, spoke about the incident on the two year anniversary of the ordeal on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” stating that when he first saw the video footage, he just cried. The doctor said he boarded the plane on April 9, 2017, preparing to head home to Kentucky, where he was planning to open a free clinic for U.S. veterans. The flight was overbooked and when he refused to give up his seat, he was dragged off the plane. Dao told ABC News that he never expected the encounter to get physical but, once it did, everything escalated fast. He said he has forgiven the airline as well as the security agents who dragged him down the aisle and back into the airport terminal. He said: I'm not angry with them. They have a job to do. They had to do it. If they don’t do it, they must lose their job. So, I’m not angry with them or anything like this. Tyler Bridges, Fellow passenger, told The Washington Post in 2017 that travelers were informed they would be given vouchers to rebook, but when no one agreed, the airline started selecting people and asking them to leave. He said: ]A young couple was told to leave first. They begrudgingly got up and left. Then an older man who refused. A police officer boarded. Then a second and a third. Bridges then began recording, as did another passenger. Dao told ABC News on Tuesday that he woke up in a hospital and for a while did not know his story had gone viral. Then, amid widespread outcry, slipping stock prices and a settlement with the airline, he said the media attention became too much for him to handle. “Get to the point, I have to hide. I stay for months, months in house.” Source: https://lifewithcuttons.com.ng/2019/04/10/doctor-dragged-off-united-airlines-flight-finally-speaks-about-the-incident-video/
