That camouflage coat finally has a face.

When President Donald Trump tried to visit Korea's demilitarized zone on Wednesday during his 12-day trip through Asia, a U.S. Army Ranger made headlines by lending White House press secretary Sarah Sanders his camouflage jacket on a chilly morning.

Now the Army has exclusively shared photos of the new face of American chivalry with DailyMail.com.

Meet Chief Warrant Officer 2 Bobby Zizelman, a helicopter test pilot who stepped in to warm Sanders up on the tarmac at U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan.

Heartless! California authorities demand that church stop feeding the homeless

feeding homeless
It's tough to say when our societal values shifted so dramatically, but for some reason now, government at large has decided that charity for the homeless is a crime. In a society with such stunning abundance, efforts to feed the homeless are being met with legal challenges and even police action in America. This is a disturbing trend which has been gaining steam in recent years.

In the latest publicized event, authorities in California have demanded that the United Methodist Church in Malibu, CA stop its meager yet hope-giving program of offering hot meals to the city's homeless. The church has been giving away only 100 meals a week, on Wednesdays, since 2014, which is a relatively small humanitarian contribution in a wave of homelessness which has descended on the West Coast since the housing crisis of 2008 and now spurred on by the excesses of the regions tech industry.

What does a pre-crash financial market look like? You're seeing one now

two plus two
The only other times in our history when stock prices have been this high relative to earnings, a horrifying stock market crash has always followed. Will things be different for us this time? We shall see, but without a doubt this is what a pre-crash market looks like. This current bubble has been based on irrational euphoria that has been fueled by relentless central bank intervention, but now global central banks are removing the artificial life support in unison. Meanwhile, the real economy continues to stumble along very unevenly. This is the longest that the U.S. has ever gone without a year in which the economy grew by at least 3 percent, and many believe that the next recession is very close. Stock prices cannot stay completely disconnected from economic reality forever, and once the bubble bursts the pain is going to be unlike anything that we have ever seen before.

If you think that these ridiculously absurd stock prices are sustainable, there is something that I would like for you to consider. The only times in our history when the cyclically-adjusted return on stocks has been lower, a nightmarish stock market crash happened soon thereafter...
The Nobel-Laureate, Robert Shiller, developed the cyclically-adjusted price/earnings ratio, the so-called CAPE, to assess whether stocks are likely to be over- or under-valued. It is possible to invert this measure to obtain a cyclically-adjusted earnings yield which allows one to measure prospective real returns. If one does this, the answer for the US is that the cyclically-adjusted return is now down to 3.4 percent. The only times it has been still lower were in 1929 and between 1997 and 2001, the two biggest stock market bubbles since 1880. We know now what happened then. Is it going to be different this time?

Police have arrested a 23-year-old Syrian for allegedly raping a pony at a children's zoo in Berlin; the man's crime was witnessed by shocked visitors who took a photo of the incident and handed it over to the authorities.

The incident occurred at around 3pm on Friday, November 3 at the Kinderbauernhof (children's farm) area of the German capital's Goelitzer Park. The man was spotted by a babysitter, who was visiting the zoo with a child.

"My babysitter was at Goerlitzer Park with our son when they witnessed the man carrying out a sexual act on the pony," a woman told the Berliner Morgenpost, adding that her babysitter had informed park staff about the incident but is unwilling to talk about it anymore because it was too traumatizing.

Comment: A shame? Why is she not outraged? She's just going to 'think happy thoughts' and put it out of her mind... no wonder Westerners are ripe for mind-rape by the Powers That Be.

MSM spreading Islamic State Propaganda, says top UK counter terrorism cop

The UK's top counterterrorism police officer says the mainstream media are helping spread Islamic State propaganda. Mark Rowley will discuss the balance of public interest in reporting on terrorist organizations today in Cambridge.

Rowley is expected to tell the conference that up to 50 percent of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) propaganda can be found published on media websites or in newspapers, and is only available to a very small audience on encrypted channels before it spreads through news reporting.


Comment: Did you get that? If over the past few years you've been terrified, out of all proportion, by the idea that 'ISIS' jihadis are coming to get you, then it's not surprising given that the Western press has gone out of its way to make sure you are terrified.

Much of 'ISIS' propaganda would normally languish on websites in the farthest reaches of the internet, but Rita Katz (the daughter of an Israeli Mossad agent) and her 'SITE' intelligence group, dedicates herself to digging up ISIS trash on the web and shoving it in your face via the mainstream media. Aren't you grateful that Katz is spending her time promoting a jihadi agenda and scaring the pants off you in the process?


The debate will look at the balance between the public interest of reporting terrorist attacks and police concerns.

Elizabeth Perkins holds sign with James Woods' name at #MeToo march


NY Daily News

Elizabeth Perkins James Woods
Actress Elizabeth Perkins hoisted a cryptic sign featuring the name of actor James Woods high above her head at a sexual misconduct protest in Los Angeles on Sunday.

The sign included Woods' name and the hashtag #MeToo, which has been used on social media to encourage people to come forward with their stories of sexual harassment or assault.

It's unclear what motivated Perkins to call out Woods. A rep for the actress did not respond to a request for comment, nor did a rep for Woods.

The rally took place on Hollywood Boulevard, where people walked in support of victims as part of the #MeToo Survivors March and the Take Back the Workplace March.

Comment: Given James Woods' public support (mostly via Twitter) of Donald Trump and traditional, conservative values, Perkins' sign looks a lot like a threat.

Wonder Woman star threatens to boycott sequel if Brett Ratner is involved

Gal Gadot
The star of the Wonder Woman movie is reportedly threatening to quit the movie series unless Warner Brothers cuts ties with a Hollywood producer accused of sexually harassing multiple women.

Gal Gadot, the star of "Wonder Woman," allegedly told Warner Brothers that the company would need to cut its contract with Hollywood producer Brett Ratner if they wanted her to return for the next movie installment, an unnamed source told Page Six Saturday.

Ratner's production company RatPac-Dune Entertainment aided in the production of Wonder Woman out of a deal it has with Warner Brothers, despite the contract with Warner Brothers ending in 2018 due to the harassment allegations against Ratner. Gadot reportedly said she doesn't want Ratner to be making money off of a movie about female empowerment.

Suites replacing seats in the first-class air war

Etihad Diamond First Class Suites.
The airline battle for big spenders has intensified, with Emirates launching what it claims to be "game-changing" First Class" - with design inspired by a car maker.

At the start of the Dubai Air Show at its home base, the airline said each First Class passenger on its Boeing 777 jets will be assigned up to 40 square feet of personal space with "suites" measuring 7ft by 5ft 8in.

While passengers at the back of the plane are seated 10-abreast, First Class travellers will have ample elbow room. They are in a separate cabin with just six seats - or more precisely "fully-enclosed private suites" - configured three abreast, with privacy ensured by floor-to-ceiling sliding doors.

Emirates promises each seat will have a window view though the passenger in the middle suite has to make do with "virtual windows which project the view from outside the aircraft". Passengers with a real window are offered a pair of Steiner safari binoculars to study the scenery.

The airline says the design is "inspired by the Mercedes-Benz S-Class".

"Out of their minds": Naked people rampage through Missouri town, barking, yelling and breaking into places

flakka
Last weekend got downright bizarre in the eastern Missouri town of Sullivan, and police say they know why.

Four people went on a rampage, barking and yelling, breaking into buildings, even stripping off their clothes and showering in soda water, police say. They suspect the synthetic drug flakka is behind the behavior.

"We had multiple incidents this past weekend of people on some kind of substance acting out of their minds," Sullivan Police Lt. Patrick Johnson told the Sullivan Independent News. "Barking like dogs, running up and down the street, or other farm animals, entering people's homes, breaking into a business, yelling outside of local businesses."

Two people were arrested, and some of the users were treated at a hospital.

The applications to renew the status of dozens of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients were denied after they arrived past the deadline due to delays with the U.S. Postal Service, The New York Times reported.

At least 33 DACA recipients in the New York region had their applications denied because the paperwork arrived after the Oct. 5 deadline, despite having sent it weeks in advance, according to the report.

The U.S. Postal Service admitted that there had been an "unintentional temporary mail processing delay in the Chicago area." But U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officials refused to accept the delayed applications.

"According to U.S.C.I.S. regulations, a request is considered received by U.S.C.I.S. as of the actual date of receipt at the location for filing such request," a spokesman for the agency told the Times in a statement.
