Lead. A turning point perhaps in the democratic primary. Two weeks. No more. Thats all the time the u. S. Has left to prepare for an approaching viral tsunami. In two weeks the number of coronavirus cases is expected to surge here. So too the death toll and the strain on an already stretched health care system. Because in terms of preparation the United States is a lot more like italy, which saw the virus explode two weeks ago and is now in europes hard yet hit country. The coronavirus now confirmed in all 50 u. S. States. More than 100 people have already died. For the worst Case Scenario could see as many as 2 million dead. And right now avoiding italys fate rests on a response which varies from state to state, city to city, and inconsistent patchwork of measures ranging from aggressive action, which changes daily lives, routines, the very fabric of society, to almost nothing. And the economic pain already being felt and the Trump Administration proposing a trilliondollar stimulus pa

The shooting happened in a small rural community, the kind of quiet american town where everyone knows everyone. Thats how its being described. And the suspect is 26yearold Devin Patrick kelley.

Occupied by the north korean issue. We were in complete agreement as to the measures to be taken point analysis of the latest situation in north korea giving a good amount of time. Japan consistently supports the position of President Trump when he says all options are on the table. Through the talks over two days i once again strongly reaffirm that japan and u. S. Are 100 together. For more than 20some years the International Community attempted dialogue with north korea. At the time of grape Work Agreement of 1994 and the 6party agreement of 2006, north korea committed in abandoning their Nuclear Program. But each type the promise was broken which resulted in north korea buying time for their nuclear and Missile Development while we were making efforts for dialogue. There is no point in the dialogue for the sake of dialogue with north korea. Now is the time not for dialogue, but for applying maximum level of pressure on north korea. We completely agreed that in order to make north ko
The president. And now fresh off his thanksgiving vacation, trump has resumed his attacks on the special counsels investigation.

There was no collusion and mueller knows it. Well, the tweets from trump appear to signal that trump is preparing for something truly big. It comes a day after Alan Dershowitz made that ominous prediction about what trump should expect from muellers investigation. I think the report is going to be devastating to the president , and i know that the
