The growing surge of Central American job-seeking migrants began after President Donald Trump reluctantly canceled his May-to-June policy of zero-tolerance for the migrants who bring children to the border, according to establishment media outlets.

"The number of migrant parents entering the United States with children has surged to record levels in the three months since President Trump ended family separations at the border," the Washington Post reported Oct. 17.

"Another big wave of migrants from Central America has arrived since late June, when President Trump halted the practice of separating migrant families detained at the border," said an Oct. 18 report in the New York Times. "Migrant arrests declined in May, June and July, but have escalated sharply since the president halted the separations."

A former Honduran lawmaker traveling with a caravan of migrants heading toward the U.S.-Mexico border was detained by authorities in Guatemala on Tuesday as President Trump threatened to arrest anyone entering the country illegally.

Ex-legislator Bartolo Fuentes, who is said to have organized the march, was detained by Guatemalan authorities after failing to register with migration officials upon entering the country. Wilmer Simon Gomez and Michael Fajardo were among two others detained from the migrant group.

An official with the country's migration agency said that Fuentes was to be taken to a migrant shelter and then deported.

News of the caravan, which is said to comprise some 2,000 migrants, prompted Trump to double down on threats to cut off aid to Honduras if the mass migration continues.

"We have today informed the countries of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador that if they allow their citizens, or others, to journey through their borders and up to the United States, with the intention of entering our country illegally, all payments made to them will STOP (END)!" the president said in a tweet late Tuesday.

Trump added that anyone entering the country "illegally will be arrested and detained" before being deported.
And from Gateway Pundit:
The bulk of the Honduran migrant caravan reached the Mexican border late Thursday and hundreds of Mexican police were waiting and ready.

According to the Associated Press, the migrants in caravan just tore down the border gate in Guatemala and rushed toward the border bridge into Mexico.

The job-seeking motivation may be valid for some of the migrants, but that's not what the overall statistics are saying:

A small group of angry diners confronted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell at a restaurant Friday night, but were met with calls from other customers to leave the Kentucky Republican alone.

Video obtained by TMZ shows at least one diner berating McConnell on issues such as Social Security at a restaurant in Louisville. The video starts with him yelling at McConnell and arguing with Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao -- to whom McConnell is married. The outlet reported that four men first confronted McConnell.

"Oh yeh, why don't you get out of here? Why don't you leave our entire country," the protester tells the couple.

As Chao argues with the protester, McConnell appears nonplussed and sips on a drink. But other diners begin yelling at the protester, telling him to "leave him alone" and making shoo-ing gestures.

Hours after his girlfriend, injured by the Kerch shooter's nail bomb, died en-route to a Moscow hospital, Armen Badalyan jumped out of an apartment block window. He did not die but is likely to suffer life-changing injuries.

Classmates said that 17-year-old student and aspiring model Viktoria Demchuk was one of the most popular girls in the entire Kerch polytechnic college. When her fellow student Vladislav Roslyakov set off an improvised bomb in the canteen on Wednesday morning, she was near the epicenter of the blast

Viktoria was delivered to the local hospital, where by her side stayed Badalyan, 19 year-old former football trainee.

She had suffered devastating injuries, and doctors decided to amputate her leg.

Twitter has erupted over a video showing an Antifa protester telling a 9/11 widow in an NYPD hat that her husband should "rot in the grave." The abuse happened in Portland, Oregon, when left-wingers clashed with pro-Trump groups.

The video, which has been doing the rounds on Twitter for the past few days, shows the Antifa protester picking a fight with a woman at a crosswalk. "Why are you trying to block me? I'm f**king trying to walk here," he tells the woman, who is wearing a USA t-shirt and an NYPD hat.

Farmers from South Africa will visit the Russian peninsula of Crimea to exchange experience in winemaking, as they face the possibility of losing their farms as part of their country's land reform.

"I am sure it will be a rich experience for farmers in both countries. We in South Africa are always ready to share knowledge and secrets of production," said a CEO for South African agricultural industry association AgriSA Omri van Zyl in an interview with RIA Novosti.

According to van Zyl, South African farmers are exploring opportunities to diversify markets and create partnerships, and Russia seems very promising in terms of future cooperation.

"The Russian agricultural sector is very interesting to us, and we are also interested in the Russian market. We have products that you do not produce in Russia. For example, tropical fruits - mango, lychee, etc.

Despite progress in reducing extreme poverty, the number of poor worldwide is still "unacceptably high," according to a World Bank report, which showed that billions of people still struggle to meet basic needs.

The report found that nearly half the world's population lives on less than $5.50 a day, with a rising share of the poor in wealthier economies.

The total number of people in poverty declined by more than 68 million between 2013 and 2015, World Bank said, explaining the number as "roughly equivalent to the population of Thailand or the United Kingdom."

Motorists traveling down one of California's busiest freeways got a shock when a single-engine plane was forced to touch down in an emergency amid all the traffic.

El Cajon's Interstate 8 became a makeshift runway for the pilot of the stricken plane, which managed to make an incredible safe landing just before midday on Friday.

According to NBC 7 San Diego, the incident was sparked by an engine failure during a flight lesson. Remarkably, the flight instructor held his nerve to place the plane between vehicles traveling westbound on the busy highway.

A conservative activist with Project Veritas posed as an intern with U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill's campaign and had access to voter information, according to a stack of documents McCaskill's lawyer delivered to Attorney General Josh Hawley's office Friday.

Project Veritas, a conservative activist group run by James O'Keefe, released surreptitiously-recorded videos of McCaskill and her campaign this week as part of series of undercover videos meant to damage Democratic candidates ahead of next month's mid-term election. McCaskill's re-election fight with Hawley could decide control of the U.S. Senate.

An employee of Project Veritas approached McCaskill's campaign in May and expressed an interest in volunteering and interning on the campaign, according to an affidavit from McCaskill's Columbia field director Luke Tonant.

The worst school shooting in Russia's history has sparked a series of inaccurate and contradictory media reports. Here are the main questions that still need to be answered, and the most accurate information we have so far.

What drove Vladislav Roslyakov to kill?

When an 18-year old described by his classmates as a "calm and quiet" C-grade student executes a plan that kills 20 others, before dying himself without leaving a suicide note, having previously scrubbed his online presence, this is going to give rise to speculation.

One portrait emerges of an archetypal loner, who "was difficult to talk to, and didn't have any friends," according to his own father. An online acquaintance told RT that Roslyakov confessed to her that he "planned to kill himself," but first would "take revenge on those who humiliated him for being different" (another said his issue was with "mean teachers" at his vocational college, where he was studying to be a construction electrician).

Harvard's own study reveals university showed favoritism towards oppressed students

Harvard University's own study found top athletes, legacies and kids who score highly for traits like "courage" are more likely to be admitted - while Asian-Americans are less likely to score a spot.

A nonprofit suing the school for discrimination presented the internal 2013 study in Boston federal court Friday, pointing out that even Harvard found being an Asian-American has a negative impact on your chances of gaining entry to the school.

"There's a negative effect of being Asian on an applicant's choice of admission, correct? That means an applicant's choice of admission is lower?" said attorney Kat Hacker, a lawyer for plaintiff Students for Fair Admissions.

Erin Driver-Linn, the director of Harvard's Office of Institutional Research, conceded, "In this model, yes."

Students for Fair Admissions alleges that Harvard's race-conscious admissions policy discriminates against Asian-American applicants by capping their numbers and holding them to a higher standard than other races.
