Mike of New York

President Donald J Trump, in a short chat with members of the Press Corps covering a visit to Washington DC Kennedy Center. Since the time of Jimmy Carter , the center went from a place of showing American elegance and culture to the employer of last resort for the left wing of DC and fiends as well as defeated politicians to shut them up. Now Trump wants it renewed and rebuilt. He also discusses the repease of records of JFK Assasination held by the CIA and other intel agencies for more than 60 years in some cases.

The arrest of former Philippine President Rodrigo ‘Rody’ Duterte, I covered his time as major and in congress when he was in Davao. He was arrested on a ICC Warrant in Manila at the international airport named for a political leader who was a victim of a violent poltical murder.

Arrests of former Presidents have happened before. Often during the terms of their successors. Often when poltical season si near. But, this is different it’s an arrest for violence during a drug war where soem human rights groups say up to 3500 died.

This is my opinion and reaction having covered this story for a long time and what I think may be coming. It is about accountability, and hopefully a shift away from the use of extreme violence and an end of what is often termed as impunity of those in power. But we shall see what comes next.

The Philippines removed itself from the ICC during Dutertez time in office. New cases can be brought forward. Only from the time the Philippiens was in the ICC treaty.

Mike of New York , Mike Cohen discusses the massive TDS outbreak and major bias issues on groups of people who clain to be impartial but it seems arer root of the problem and a source of corrupted values and vision in New York City.
