Abc news was first to report that Homeland Security will increase scrutiny of social media websites in the visa application process, this after it was revealed that Tashfeen Malik posted online messages about jihad before coming to the u. S. But officials were prevented from seeing those messages because of a secret policy to save the administration embarrassment. The primary concern was that it would be viewed negatively if it was disclosed publicly, and there were concerns that it would be embarrassing. Also part of the investigation, that search of a nearby lake turned up no new evidence according to Law Enforcement officials. As for fighting terror overseas, president obama says the u. S. Is making progress against isis. The president spoke after a meeting with highlevel advisers at the pentagon.

Mohamed elshinawy was arrested last friday for attempting to provide Material Support to a terror organization. He denies the charges. Bowe bergdahl will be courtmartialed for walking away from his army unit in afghanistan. He faces charges of desertion and endangering his unit for which he could be sentenced to life in prison. The decision to try him overturns a preliminary review that recommended he not be charged. Bergdahl spent five years as a taliban captive after leaving his unit. Against 7 of the more than 50 women who accused him of sexual misconduct. He filed a deaf famation countersuit against him claiming he suffered serious financial and personal harm harm because of their groundless accusations.

Star wars the force Awakens Opens later this week on more than 4,000 screens from coast to coast. The big question who among last nights attendees would be the first to spoil one of hollywoods most tightly guarded secrets. Maybe nobody. Maybe nobody. I have faith. Were getting some hints, arent we. Greys anatomy, it is technically a breach of the embargo. Greys anatomy producer Shonda Rhimes tweeted, holy crap, that star wars the force awakens is so good in the best oldschool way. Oh, yes and also rob lowe said he cried like a baby and whooped like a teenager. And actress Elizabeth Banks spoilers. Again, no spoilers, just wow. Wow, okay. And we should also say that no one that we know of has actually spoiled it. No, but remember when i was telling you about when i saw this footage of people leaving the phantom menace and they all said it was the best star wars ever and now the fans how about a little weather . Do it. Warming up in the eastern half of the country but in take a look at the hotness. You may remember tahman bradley. He works in the windy city. He pulled over this guy without a shirt.

I sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. What about my family . My lil buddy . In the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Pnot only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, t but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding v than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Pdont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Peliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Pdont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Pif you had a spinal injection while on eliquis pcall your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. Pwhile taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. Pand it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Pseek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Peliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Ptell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. V eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. V plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to right for you. Checking our top story, the stage is set for tonights republican president ial debate in las vegas.
