The Czech prime minister has called for the return to their home countries of hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants currently in Europe, suggesting funds could be spent on a Marshall Plan to help improve African economies.

"There are 700,000 illegal migrants," Andrej Babis said in an interview with The Guardian newspaper. "They need to go home."

Babis has long railed against the implementation of EU-imposed migrant quotas, along with the leaders of neighboring Slovakia, Hungary and Poland - collectively known as the Visegrad Group. He has previously labeled the quotas "absurd" and "not effective."

CBS's & NPR's Rabidly False 'News' About the Khashoggi Case

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman • Jamal Khashoggi

It's a lie to say, as CBS 'News' did on October 24th, that Saudi Crown Prince Salman couldn't have done what Turkey says he did in the Khashoggi case - couldn't do it, because it's not in the Saud family's "DNA" to do such things. To the exact contrary: it is the norm for the Saud family, and has been for decades if not longer. What's not normal in the Khashoggi case is that it was being done to a Saudi who has so many admirers and friends at high places in The West. That's what makes the Khashoggi case different from all the others. And the evidence for this - and for the pervasive propagandistic fakery in U.S. mainstream 'news' reporting about foreign affairs (such as CBS did there) - will be presented here. This routine and unchallenged lying by the 'news'-media is a super-scandal that the U.S. and UK press don't report, but instead they all hide that they had lied and routinely do lie. So, since it's totally unaddressed, it continues, on and on, for at least decades. Probably none of the major American or British 'news'-media will publish this American samizdat, exposing the press, but this is being submitted to them all, in the hope that maybe at last, some or at least one of them will finally relent, and break open this mega-scandal - about the press itself. It needs to be made public.

A male suspect was arrested in Florida on Friday morning in connection with the rash of suspicious packages sent to prominent Democrats nationwide, law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News.

Multiple sources identified the suspect to Fox News as Cesar Sayoc of Aventura, Florida.

A separate law enforcement source told Fox News that the suspect is a white male in his 50s, who used to live in New York and had prior arrests for terroristic threats. Several of the packages went through a U.S. postal facility in Opa-locka, which is less than 10 miles from Aventura.

The Department of Justice will hold a press conference at 2:30 p.m. ET.

Federal authorities had been focusing on Florida as the location where the majority of packages originated.

"Some of the packages went through the mail," Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen earlier told Fox News. "They originated, some of them, from Florida. I am confident that this person or people will be brought to justice."

The Miami-Dade County Police Department confirmed Thursday it was helping federal agents who were at the facility in Opa-locka as part of the ongoing investigation.

US President Donald Trump
US President Donald Trump praised the police for finding and arresting the suspect in a series of suspicious packages sent to prominent Democrats, saying that political violence has no place in America.

"I am pleased to inform you that law enforcement has apprehended the suspect and taken him into custody," Trump told the Young Black Leadership Summit at the White House on Friday, to cheers of approval.

"These terrorizing acts are despicable and have no place in our country," he said. "We must never allow political violence to take root in America. I'm committed to do everything in my power as president to stop it, and to stop it now."

Trump praised the law enforcement for identifying and detaining the suspect quickly, before moving on to say that someone in the audience of "brilliant, courageous, patriotic and proud Americans" will be in his place someday.

"Americans must unify," Trump added. "And we must show the world that we're united together in peace and love and harmony as fellow American citizens. There is no country like our country. And every day we're showing the world just how truly great we are."

The White House extends invitation to Putin 'in early 2019'

US President Trump • Russian President Putin
The White House has invited Russian President Vladimir Putin for a visit sometime in early 2019, US National Security Advisor John Bolton said on Friday.

Speaking during a press conference in the Republic of Georgia, Bolton said he offered a formal invitation to the Russian leader during his visit to Moscow this week. If accepted, Putin's visit to the US would be expected to take place early next year, he said.

Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump are also expected to have a brief meeting in Paris on November 11. They previously held a comprehensive bilateral summit in Helsinki. But the proposed follow-up meeting was postponed, apparently due to domestic criticism of Trump, who was accused of cozying up to the Russian president.

Putin last had a meeting with a US president on American soil in 2015, when he talked with Barack Obama on the sidelines of a UN General Assembly meeting.

Bolton's whisper campaign aims to oust Mattis

NATO Summit, July 2018: President Trump, Defense Sec Mattis, Sec of State Pompeo, WH Security Adv. Bolton
Sources say the hawkish national security advisor is behind rumors that the defense secretary plans to resign. White House National Security Advisor John Bolton and his deputy are trying to squeeze out U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis by spreading rumors about his imminent departure, according to two well-placed sources.

Bolton and Mira Ricardel, the deputy national security advisor, who has repeatedly clashed with Mattis over Defense Department personnel appointments, believe the defense secretary is "not ideologically aligned" with President Donald Trump's administration, according to one of the sources, a former senior defense official. The two are trying "to build the sense that he is done for," the former official said.

"They have the knives out."

One Trump administration official noted, "Mira and Bolton are the only ones who benefit if Secretary Mattis leaves." The secretary is "highly regarded" within the cabinet and by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, the official said.

Comment: Whispers? Hardly! The MSM have jumped on board with Bolton. Here's how they are framing this (so far) non-issue:
CBS: "Trump 60 Minutes interview: President suggests Defense Secretary James Mattis could leave Cabinet."
Bloomberg: "Trump Hints Pentagon Chief Mattis May Be Planning to Quit."
The Guardian: "Trump: Jim Mattis 'sort of a Democrat' and could quit as defense secretary soon."
The Daily Mail: "Trump signals more Cabinet changes to come with General Mattis on the chopping block."

Trump tells migrant caravan: Go back home and apply legally; you won't be let in

Central American migrants hitchhike on a pick-up truck in Mexico on their way to the US.
US President Donald Trump has for the first time directly addressed Central American migrants making their way towards the US southern border, telling them that they will not be permitted to enter the country illegally.

In a Thursday afternoon tweet, Trump told migrants that the US is "not letting people into the United States illegally" and advised them to go back to their own countries and "apply for citizenship like millions of others" have done.


Previously, Trump had referred to some of the migrants making the trek to the border as "hardened criminals" and suggested that "unknown Middle Easterners" were among the crowds. Earlier on Thursday, the Pentagon announced that "several hundred" US troops would be sent to the border to beef up security there.

Trump's INF withdrawal is a Deep State dream & global nightmare

US President Donald Trump, October 24, 2018
Washington's vow to pull out of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty poses again the question: Who will save us from America?

If complacency is the enemy of progress hubris is the harbinger of regress. And it is hubris of the most egregious kind that describes the unconscionable decision of the Trump administration to affect the unilateral withdrawal of the US from the 1987 INF nuclear treaty, one that at the time of its establishment Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev pointed out was "the first agreement in history on the mutually agreed destruction of an entire class of nuclear weapons."

Comment: American and Russian relations continue to decline while the US is being torn apart from the inside as the division among Americans rapidly increases. The Deep State, with its permanent and unquenchable goal of total global domination, can't stop until Russia 'bends the knee', which Russia can't do as it already knows the consequences of doing so first hand from the collapse of the Soviet Union.

At some point, the Deep State will go too far; how will Russia respond then?

'Creepy porn lawyer' Avenatti steps in it again: Says 2020 Dem nominee 'better be white man'

Michael Avenatti
Lawyer Michael Avenatti, a self-appointed advocate for all women, is facing online wrath after saying that Democrats should pick a "white male" to run for president in 2020, as his arguments would "carry more weight."

Avenatti, the firebrand lawyer representing porn star Stormy Daniels in her legal case against US President Donald Trump, has faced massive backlash after he told Time in the interview that it will take a white male to beat Trump in 2020. Coincidentally, Avenatti himself fits the bill perfectly.

"I think it better be a white male," Avenatti said, as quoted by the newspaper. The lawyer argued that being a white male himself helped him to represent women, such as Daniels, and mothers of migrant children.

Comment: It seems Avenatti just can't help himself
