Good morning. Im ayman mohyeldin. We are now five days from the midterm elections. President trump is doing everything he can to define the debate. Yesterday he tripled the estimated number of u. S. Troops that he wants to go to the u. S. mexico border to 15,000, more than the number of troops serving in afghanistan, believe it or not. Youre talking about 10,000, maybe 15,000 active duty u. S. Military to the border. Yes. More than we have fighting the taliban in afghanistan, isis in syria. Yeah. Youre really going to do that . Its very important.

Family might arc . They seemed so loving, but was there another side. Its a monster that comes out of a closet. Its very ugly. How dark is that side . Murderous. But which one was the killer . Hello and welcome to dateline. He was a man suddenly confronted with something monstrous, evil at the door. This story is a mystery about a father of two young daughters.

It made many people in town wonder about one particular family, about what had been going on behind the closed doors of their home. How well do you really know your neighbors . How well do you really know the people that surround you

He said he was leaving to spend more time with his family, but according to the source the acting dhs secretary has been on the outs with the white house for some time and felt Like Administration officials didnt listen to him anymore and he knew he was not going to be nominated to lead permanently so he decided to step aside.
