The prime minister of Lebanon, Saad Hariri, who announced his resignation earlier this month while in Saudi Arabia, but has returned to Beirut and postponed it, has said his latest change of heart is based on a desire to keep the country out of regional conflicts.

The decision to postpone his official resignation is aimed at supporting Lebanon's "disassociation" policy, the minister said in a statement Saturday, Lebanon's state news agency NNA reported. The step, made at the request of Lebanese President Michel Aoun, is aimed at "keeping Lebanon neutral" and out of regional conflicts, he explained, claiming that he now needs time to look into what is to be done to enforce the peaceful course and avoid further tensions triggered by his earlier surprise announcement.

However, Hariri's statement suggested the PM seems to be still opposed to Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah group, which the politician has accused of a "desire to destroy the Arab world" in his initial resignation announced from Riyadh. "Hezbollah stances that affect our Arab brothers or target the security and stability of their countries" would not be accepted, he said, without going into specifics.

Thanks to Wikileaks we now know that at least 65 mainstream reporters were working closely with the Clinton campaign this election year. They were invited to top elitist dinners with Hillary Campaign Chairman John Podesta or Chief Campaign strategist Joel Benenson.

NO FOX NEWS REPORTERS MADE THE LIST!

These 65 mainstream reporters CAN NEVER BE TRUSTED:

As previously reported- At least 38 top national reporters attended a different dinner at John Podesta's house in April 2015.

The Clinton campaign sent out invites to New York reporters in April 2015 to their off-the-record meeting on how to sell Hillary Clinton to the public.

President Trump reinvigorated his feud with CNN, denouncing the cable news network as a poor representation of the U.S. abroad.
The president's tweet Saturday is not the first time he's spoken about CNN in terms of the international community. During his recent Asia trip, he tweeted that he was "forced to" watch "fake" CNN, claiming that he has not done so in months.

Trump favors Fox News, showering praise on some of its shows and journalists, and giving sit-down interviews with the network which he has long denied the other networks.

Bias of omission: Democrat news network's CNN fails to report 24 Democrat sex/impropriety scandals

As sexual misconduct allegations continue to rock liberal Hollywood, the mainstream media establishment, and politicians of both political parties, at least the Democrats can count on CNN to eschew reporting about dozens of sexual allegations on members of their party.

To be fair, it is worth noting that CNN has reported on a couple of the big Democrat sex scandals currently receiving major media attention on other news networks, specifically the scandals involving Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) and Rep. John Conyers (D-MI).

When CNN is not busy giving President Donald Trump 93% negative coverage, covering for Islamic terrorists, botching gun reports, or being sued by over 200 African-Americans for racial discrimination, they are busy covering for Democrats across the United States by not reporting on scandals.

Below are 24 recent Democratic sex scandals that CNN has failed to report on their website (documentation showing CNN did not cover the scandals is provided at the bottom of this report).

1. Four new women accuse Bill Clinton of sexual assault. (11/20/2017)

The Daily Mail reports:
Bill Clinton is facing explosive new charges of sexual assault from four women, according to highly placed Democratic Party sources and an official who served in both the Clinton and Obama administrations.

The current accusations against the 71-year-old former president - whose past is littered with charges of sexual misconduct - stem from the period after he left the White House in 2001, say the sources.

Attorneys representing the women, who are coordinating their efforts, have notified Clinton they are preparing to file four separate lawsuits against him.

Comment: CNN not reporting particular segments of the current cascade of indiscretion, misconduct and violation scandals is no big surprise - given its MSM allegiance, political bias and past performance. Regarding the volume of sexual accusations and divulgence, perhaps a timely question to be asked is: Why now?

trump time person year
POTUS Trump created a Thanksgiving Holiday twitter frenzy after the US President revealed that fake news Time Magazine was 'probably' going to name him Person of the Year.

President-elect Donald Trump was rightly named Person of the Year in 2016 by TIME magazine.

US President Trump tweeted on Friday..
Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named "Man (Person) of the Year," like last year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!

Comment: The media still have yet to catch on that Trump plays them like a fiddle. It's actually quite fun to watch.

The US Department of Defense has revealed that allegations of sexual misconduct against top Pentagon officials have risen by over 10 percent in the last two years.

That's according to a report by the Pentagon inspector general who found that misconduct allegations against senior officials rose by 13 percent, from 710 in the fiscal year (FY) 2015 to 803 last year.

"There was a 13 percent increase in complaints alleging misconduct by senior officials from FY 2015 to FY 2017 (710 to 803)," the report states. "The most common allegations involved personal misconduct including improper relationships, improper personnel actions, misuse of government resources, and travel violations."

Examples include an army major general who allegedly used a government travel card at South Korean and Italian strip clubs, and an air force lieutenant that "engaged in an unprofessional relationship with a married colonel."


Comment: Strip clubs and affairs? That's nothing. What about all the child porn?

The Americans have finished with the Kurds, now they can pack up and go. This is what happened in Iraqi Kurdistan, and in Syrian Kurdistan the same situation will be repeated, says award-winning Iraqi Kurdish journalist Hiwa Osman.

US President Donald Trump has apparently promised he will "not provide weapons to the YPG [People's Protection Units]," according to Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, who was present during the phone call between the US president and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

YPG is considered to be a terrorist organization affiliated with the Turkish Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) by Ankara. However, Kurdish YPG fighters are currently battling Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) in Syria.

In a furious twitter exchange with a Clinton aide on Friday, former secret service agent Dan Bongino threatened to reveal new details about Bill Clinton's 26 documented trips aboard notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's private jet, nicknamed the "Lolita Express."

Bongino and former Hillary Clinton aide Nick Merrill started feuding after Merrill challenged Bongino's claim that Clinton was the most "manipulative political person in a position of power [he had] ever met in my entire life," as Paul Watson pointed out.

Merrill fired back that Hillary "has enormous respect for the Secret Service & a great relationship with the agents on her detail." He also alleged that Bongino was never on the Clintons' detail - a claim that Bongino almost immediately disproved by supplying a photo of him sitting behind Hillary Clinton back in 2001.

The head of Russia's defense council Viktor Bondarev confirmed the Zircon cruise missile is now available in Russia's arsenal while speaking on Tuesday. The weapon - which Russia boasts is capable of Mach 8 - was last tested back in June.

In April 2017, it was revealed that the Zircon had reached a speed of Mach 8 (6,090 mph; 9,800 km/h; 2,722.3 m/s) during a test.

Wars of information: How social media is leveling the playing field between governments and ordinary people

Decades before smartphones, the internet, and social media, the philosopher Marshall McLuhan, who worked on media theory, predicted a future world war fought using information. While World War I and World War II were waged using armies and mobilized economies, "World War III [will be] a guerrilla information war with no division between military and civilian participation," McLuhan said, a prophecy included in his 1970 book of reflections, "Culture Is Our Business."

McLuhan's prediction may have felt outlandish in his own era, but it seems very close to our present-day reality. Decades ago, the barriers to entry for broadcasting and publishing were so high that only established institutions could meaningfully engage in news dissemination. But over the past 10 to 15 years, ordinary individuals have been radically empowered with the ability to record, publish, and broadcast information to millions around the world, at minimal cost.

The revolutionary impact of this new information environment - where any individual or network of individuals can create their own mini-CNN - is transforming our societies. The loss of gatekeeping authority held by legacy media institutions has opened up opportunities for long-suppressed groups to have their narratives heard: Palestinians, African-American activists, feminists, environmentalists, and dissident groups working in authoritarian societies can all find ways, not always without some trouble, to be heard.
