...restrictions on Venezuela concern only "government officials of Venezuela who are responsible for the identified inadequacies" in screening and vetting procedures. The Venezuelan "government is uncooperative in verifying whether its citizens pose national security or public safety threats," according to the document released by the White House.

Caracas criticized the move as an attempt to stigmatize Venezuela "under the guise of battling terrorism." "They are imposing sanctions on our nation for our adherence to pacifism and for tolerance and respect toward different religions and beliefs, which are being practiced freely in our country," the ministry added, stating that it rejects and "condemns terrorism in all forms."

The travel ban is a new act of "aggression" against the country, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza told reporters on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly on Monday. "The US are constantly attacking us, there was new aggression yesterday, related to the visas for diplomats and their families," Arreaza said. "This madness should be stopped."

While delivering a speech at the General Assembly earlier that day, Arreaza accused Trump of using the UN as a stage to "declare war," completely disregarding the mission of the international body.

"As if he were the world's emperor, President Donald Trump used this rostrum built for peace to announce war, the total destruction of member states, and the application of coercive unilateral and illegal measures," Arreaza said. "Today we must report to the world that our people have been directly threatened by the President of the United States."

In spite of the sickening details, laid out in the prosecutor memorandum above, Anthony Weiner pled guilty to a single charge of transferring obscene material to a minor after turning himself in to the FBI.

As more and more high-level politicians and elite get busted for their sick crimes against children, those who ridiculed and shouted down those who investigated pizzagate as some crazed conspiracy theory kooks begin to show their true colors. While pizzagate may not have happened in that pizza parlor, the idea of the ruling elite engaging in unspeakable crimes against children is a very real problem and certainly no laughing matter

Weiner responded within "minutes" to the 15-year-old girl's introductory private message via Twitter in January 2016, she said in an interview with "Inside Edition" set to air on Monday.

The North Carolina high school student, revealing her face for the first time, said things moved quickly from sedate to seductive with the erstwhile Carlos Danger.

"I just sent him a nice message: 'Hello, I'm a huge fan,'" she recalled. Weiner almost immediately started in with the online sexual advances that destroyed his political career and his marriage. "I knew that it was going downhill very fast," she told the syndicated program. "He called me attractive."

The teen said she was initially intrigued by the close relationship between Weiner's estranged wife Huma Abedin and Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton. "I knew that Hillary Clinton would be running for President in the year 2016," the teen said. "I wanted to see if Anthony was still up to the same antics." And Weiner certainly was up to his old tricks.

According to his victim, the failed mayoral candidate would ask her to undress for him via Skype. Weiner would also send the teen photos of himself bare-chested, she said. One message from the sext-obsessed former Congressman, then using the handle "T Dog," included a shirtless photo in which he was accompanied by his young son. The teen told Inside Edition she found it "particularly upsetting." She says, "I was disgusted. That was part of the reason I came forward."

Most Syrian Kurds are in favor of keeping the country united, stressing the need for a peaceful dialogue, Kurdish politician and member of the opposition party 'Syrian Democratic Council' Reyzan Heidu told Sputnik.

"The majority of Kurds are in favor of unity in Syria, rejecting the split and seeing the need for dialogue to resolve the crisis," Heidu said.

He further said that he had not heard any of the Kurdish politicians since the formation of the first Kurdish party in Syria in 1957, calling for separation. According to him, the idea does not have mass support.

Earlier in an interview with RIA Novosti Bashar Assad said that, in his opinion, most Kurds want to live in a unified Syria with a centralized power.

Earlier, Syria's Foreign Minister Walid Muallem rejected proposals for the federalization and partition of the country, supported at the Geneva intra-Syrian talks by several opposition factions.
