Is leaving his post, but says it is for personal reasons. He was confirmed as ambassador to panama in 2015. Turkey is warning its citizens about traveling to the United States in retaliation for a new u. S. Travel advisory that warned americans about terror threats and arbitrary detentions in turkey. The u. S. Travel warning is set to unfairly portray turkey as an unsafe country and did nothing to improve frayed ties between the nato allies.

Night, new 4z ms 4 midday start. Time lapse video takenout side our studios at 3 00 this morning when snow was covering the ground. You see the snow coming down hard at times but never sticking to the parking lot or sidewalks. And as the sun came up, about an inch of wet snow covered the ground. How quickly is that snow going to melt out there. A lot of snow has fallen off the trees, beautiful Winter Wonderland out there. So many of you sharing pictures with me on instagram, facebook and twitter. Theyre spectacular. But look at these temperatures, everybody now is above freezing. Washington coming in at 37 degrees. Manassas as well. A lot of the snow is going to be history. Here is a live look outside with our city camera, you can see beautiful sunshine there. And notice no snow on the trees.

His unilateral plan speaks beyond constitutional boundaries adding layers of arbitrary exclusions for who can and cannot purchase a gun. Hes trampling on civil liberties. James comey admitted the South Carolina sliewn particular who murdered churchgoers sliched through a data base. The president is too busy yapping inconsequentially about things like this. Remember the lecture after the shooting at the Oregon Community college . There is a gun for roughly every man, woman and child in america. You are supposed to infer from that that every man, woman and child in america owns a gun and little urchin bands of rogue toddler militias are a thr
