President Trump took a moment during his visit to Japan to slam Democrats and pass along remarks from Japanese officials.
“Great fun and meeting with Prime Minister @AbeShinzo,” Trump tweeted Saturday. “Numerous Japanese officials told me that the Democrats would rather see the United States fail than see me or the Republican Party succeed – Death Wish!”
The remark follows increasing tensions between the president and Democrats over the investigations launched against him.
“I think the Democrats are obstructionists,” Trump said in his remarks to reporters on Friday. “They’re hurting our country very, very badly.”

“They’re very unhappy with the Mueller report,” Trump continued. “No collusion, no obstruction. No nothing. They’re very unhappy. They’re angry about it. They have to get over their anger.”
“They want to do a redo,” Trump added. “Like even the fact that they’re asking Bob Mueller to come and testify. He just gave them a 434-page report, which says no collusion, which leads to absolutely no obstruction. He just gave that report. Why does he have to testify? It’s ridiculous.”
The pilot who died when his helicopter crash-landed on top of a New York City building was not licensed to fly in foul weather, the Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday.
Timothy McCormack did not have the required certificate that would have allowed him to legally fly when the visibility was less than 3 miles and where he could use the instruments on his chopper to guide him through the gloom and rain that enveloped Manhattan on Monday, an FAA spokeswoman said.
“Should the helicopter have been flying, I don’t know yet,” NTSB Air Safety Investigator Doug Brazy said at a press conference.
Brazy said they have questioned the passenger McCormack flew from Westchester County to Manhattan a few hours before the crash who told them it was an uneventful flight. He said McCormack was not in touch with air traffic controllers and that they are still trying to confirm reports the pilot made a radio call before the chopper went down on the rooftop of the building, which did not have a heliport.
McCormack was a veteran pilot but he was not “instrument rated,” said the spokeswoman, who declined to comment further and directed inquiries to the NTSB, which is expected to provide an update later Tuesday.
Al Yurman, a former air safety investigator with the board, said in an interview that federal regulators require all pilots to be instrument-rated when flying during the kind of bad weather that descended on New York City on Monday.
They must file a flight plan with air traffic controllers, he said, and they must know how to use a slate of instruments that can tell them what direction the aircraft is flying, for instance, or whether its wings and nose are level.
Without those instruments, flying in heavy clouds can cause “spatial disorientation,” Yurman said.
“It’s like putting a blindfold on,” he said. “Turn yourself around three times and see if you know where you are.”
The cloud ceiling at the time of the crash was 600 feet — or roughly the height of a 55 or 60-story building. The roof of the building on 7th Avenue that McCormack barreled into was 54 stories, fire officials said.
A lawyer for the company the helicopter is registered to, American Continental Properties, did not respond to requests for comment.
Paul Dudley, manager of the airport where McCormack was apparently returning to, in Linden, New Jersey, did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday about the certification question.
But on Monday, Dudley described McCormack as an experienced and competent pilot — someone who was likely “overwhelmed” by the weather or a mechanical issue.
A review of FAA records shows that McCormack was a certified instructor and commercial pilot. The records also indicate that in October 2014, the helicopter he was piloting on a sightseeing tour was struck by a bird, causing minor scratches to a passenger.
McCormack landed the chopper “uneventfully” at a Manhattan heliport, according to the FAA record.
His brother, Michael McCormack, said that he likely “saved many lives” by putting his chopper “on the roof of a building.”
“It is a true act of heroism,” he said.
New York GOP chairman Ed Cox and incoming chairman Nick Langworthy offered their condolences to the McCormack family.
“We were deeply saddened to learn the pilot who was killed in yesterday’s horrific helicopter crash,Tim McCormack, was the brother to our beloved Dutchess County Republican Chairman Mike McCormack. Tim’s life was cut way too short, but it’s clear he lived his last moments just as he did every day, committed to protecting others,” they said in a statement.
But the FAA said air traffic controllers “did not handle” McCormack’s flight — another sign that he may not have been following instrument flight rules, Yurman said.
“You have to be in radio contact with air traffic controllers,” he said.
City officials added that the section of Manhattan where McCormack crashed was under a “temporary flight restriction.”
“To go into that area a helicopter would need the approval of La Guardia tower,” Mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters Monday. “And we need to find out whether that happened or not. We do not know at this point.”
The crash led Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., to renew a call for banning nonessential helicopters from flying over Manhattan.
In a statement, Maloney recalled other accidents in the city — including a tour flight that crashed into the East River last March, killing five passengers — and said the city could no longer “rely on good fortune to protect people on the ground.”
Barbara Kaiser, an aviation expert with the training and safety firm Rotor World, said that a ban on nonemergency air traffic was a good way to keep pilots without proper training from causing “collateral damage.”
“It could have been a thousand times worse,” she said.

“The View” co-host Ana Navarro attacked President Trump’s plan to suspend immigration, arguing that it disrespected undocumented immigrants who were working to provide food for the country during the coronavirus pandemic.
“One thing that has not been spoken about enough — there has been no food shortage,” Navarro said on Wednesday.
“There has been no stop of the food supply in the United States. If you were able to pour fresh milk into your cereal this morning, if you had sliced strawberries, if you have been eating meat, if you have been drinking dairy, it’s probably because there are immigrants, undocumented immigrants in the fields of America risking their lives, working not at six feet apart in order to continue feeding us.
“So you know how we often like to say and you often hear, oh, immigrants do the job that nobody else is willing to do? Well, a lot of those jobs include risking their lives so the rest of us can be in quarantine, and we can stop this evil pandemic,” she added. “So, we really have to think about just how much immigration has meant to flattening this curve and dealing with this issue — legal and undocumented — that’s the damn truth.”
Her comments came as “The View” co-hosts panned President Trump’s immigration order.
Co-host Sunny Hostin argued that Trump was disingenuous in his purported concern for American jobs.
“You know, the upcoming ban, again, it’s going to exempt seasonal foreign farm worker visas, which is one of the largest sources of immigration at the moment, and so this is, again, just sort of this hazy deflection — red meat for his base, he thinks it’s going to work,” she said.
Co-host Joy Behar similarly said that Trump’s “answer to everything is to ban immigrants and scapegoat foreigners to fire up the hardliners in his base.”
Their comments piled onto existing criticism of Trump’s decision to halt immigration. Trump has defended the move as a way to contain the coronavirus and protect American workers.
But according to the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI), Trump’s actions were appropriate given the circumstances.
“President Trump’s action to suspend all immigration is perfectly legal and appropriate. Federal law endows the chief executive with broad powers in times of national crisis. Coronavirus is crippling both the health and work prospects of American citizens. To allow a continued influx of foreign nationals at this time would only worsen the situation,” said Dale Wilcox, executive director and general counsel of IRLI.
Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan recently told Fox News that Trump’s previous immigration restrictions have been critical in preventing the spread of the coronavirus.
“Look at where we’ve come because of this president, because of this administration, because of the tools, including the wall … We’re much better positioned now today to handle another threat to our country today through infectious disease,” he said.
La AFIP detectó irregularidades entre los valores FOB totales de las Declaraciones Juradas Anticipadas (DJAI) y destinaciones de importación asociadas a la DJAI, al tiempo que comprobó que la compañía multinacional reutilizó DJAI para las mismas operaciones.
El proceso de análisis se focalizó sobre un total de 2608 operaciones de importación de maquinas de afeitar, pañales y artículos higiénicos, principalmente, precisó el organismo a través de un comunicado en el que su titular, Ricardo Echegaray, sentenció: “Hay que terminar con estas trampas de las empresas globales”.
“Los productos importados que se ‘sobrefacturaron’ corresponderían a la excusa de incluir en el precio ‘royalties’ y demás ‘gastos intercompanies’ de publicidad y administración”, detalló la AFIP.
Por estas maniobras, la AFIP suspendió preventivamente la CUIT de P&G y su inscripción en el registro de importadores y exportadores como así también la posibilidad de que la empresa opere en el mercado de cambio de divisas.
Echegaray agregó que “las compañías globales no pueden gestionar sus ganancias engañando al Estado, evadiendo impuestos y fugando divisas ya que esta conducta irregular impide el desarrollo de la Nación, privando a sus ciudadanos de recursos para los servicios públicos, salud, educación, justicia, transporte, jubilación y demás inversiones sociales”.
Además, Echegaray remitió una nota a la Comisión Nacional de Valores de EE.UU (SEC) a través de la Embajada de los Estados Unidos en el país donde se detallan las irregularidades de la multinacional, cursó un pedido de intercambio de información a Suiza y Brasil e informó al Banco Central de la Argentina de las irregularidades a la Ley Penal Cambiaria detectadas.
“Nuestro objetivo principal es que P&G reintegre al Banco Central las divisas fugadas y que pague las sanciones aduaneras y el impuesto a las ganancias evadido por la manipulación de los precios de transferencia”, destacó el administrador federal.
La multinacional deberá regularizar las operaciones de comercio exterior y cancelar las multas respectivas ante la Aduana, a cargo del contador Carlos Sánchez. Además, deberá pagar el Impuesto a las Ganancias evadido por los ajustes de precios de transferencia a la DGI, a cargo del contador Rubén Toninelli.
Asimismo, la AFIP presentó dos denuncias en la Fiscalía Nacional en lo Penal Económico Nº 2, a cargo del Dr. Emilio Guerberoff.
La primera la efectuó el 10 de octubre pasado a través del subdirector general de Técnico Legal Aduanera, Rubén Pave y la segunda fue presentada el 15 de octubre a través del subdirector General de Operaciones Aduaneras Metropolitanas, Daniel Santanna.
También AFIP solicitó a la Justicia que impida la salida del país de los directivos de la filial local hasta tanto se resuelva la situación de la multinacional.
El miércoles 19, apenas pasado el mediodía, NOTICIAS se acercó a los estudios de Radio 10 en el barrio de Palermo. Este medio estaba trabajando en una nota sobre la desconocida vida de Roberto Navarro y su complicado entorno laboral, y fue hasta allí para intentar hablar con el periodista. La maniobra no tuvo éxito, pero trajo más repercusiones que las esperadas. A partir de aquel día, el periodista K se ausentó durante una semana de su trabajo. De hecho, estuvo al borde de perderlo. El backstage del nuevo escándalo del conductor es insólito.
El último capítulo de esta historia de enojos interminables comenzó el domingo 16. Navarro finalizó su programa en C5N, “Economía Política”, más tarde de lo previsto. Y ese detalle, dada la tensión que hay en el Grupo Indalo y teniendo en cuenta que no era la primera vez que pasaba, sirvió para que estallase una nueva polémica. Se trenzó, a los gritos, con una de las autoridades del canal. “Espero que le vaya como el orto a Cristina para que te pueda echar de una patada”, le habría retrucado uno de los jefes del medio.
Esa semana también volvió a pelearse con Fabián De Sousa, uno de los dueños del medio: todo parecía indicar que finalmente a Navarro no se lo vería más en esos pasillos. El periodista, acorralado y en un ataque nervioso, decidió viajar el jueves 21 a Salta para visitar a su novia, Noelia Bonetto, y de pasó aprovechó para participar en una actividad de campaña, el día siguiente, junto al intendente K de Tartagal. Esos dos días no participó en sus programas.
Aunque el domingo condujo “Economía Política” –el único de los proyectos que tiene dentro de Indalo donde su productora compra la mitad del espacio y no es él quien está directamente contratado–, luego volvió a ausentarse el lunes y martes, tanto en su programa matutino de Radio 10 como en el canal. Durante esos programas, nadie hizo una mención a la sorpresiva ausencia de Navarro.
Inestable. Las autoridades del medio hace tiempo que están cansados de Navarro. Según ellos, les trae problemas y es incontrolable. Se pelea constantemente con sus compañeros de trabajo e, incluso, con “Baby” Etchecopar terminó a las trompadas. A Navarro amenazaron con echarlo en varias oportunidades. Como reveló NOTICIAS en la edición anterior, en Indalo se entusiasman con la idea de que el próximo año, cuando se rearme la programación, el polémico kirchnerista ya no figure. Por ahora, Navarro aguanta en el puesto: no tienen una figura de peso para reemplazarlo y temen perder los importantes puntos de share que el mediático barra K genera.
Dentro del grupo también hacen foco en que todavía la influencia de los Kirchner en el canal es importante, y tanto Máximo como Cristina hace rato que tienen afinidad con el periodista. Incluso, fuentes del medio aseguran que CFK se metió en esta última pelea de Navarro y llamó a las autoridades para averiguar qué estaba pasando. Al parecer, lo que le contestaron la tranquilizó. También hay otra verdad: Navarro, hombre de pocas pulgas y consciente de la poca confianza que le tienen, amagó con renunciar en varias oportunidades. Igual, ya se sabe lo que pasa con los perros que ladran.
Yet party leaders are in no immediate rush to show their hand, instead hoping to keep the focus on growing GOP divisions while pressuring more Republicans to oppose the president’s unilateral power play.
The list — nearly 400-projects long — features a number of ventures in GOP districts. It includes maintenance facilities for F-35 stealth fighters at Eielson Air Force Base outside Fairbanks, Alaska; the operation of a middle school at Fort Campbell, Kentucky; and funds to replace a training maze at Fort Bragg, N.C.
“We have to smoke out as many Republicans as possible by making the case that projects in their backyard are in jeopardy and will likely be raided to help pay for Trump’s ineffective and politically motivated wall,” said a senior Democratic aide.
Key congressional Republicans, meanwhile, don’t need any nudge from Democrats. They’re already tearing themselves apart over Trump’s declaration.
“We recognize the president has the authority to declare a national emergency but believe this sets a bad precedent and lets Congress off the hook from doing its job,” Reed said. “We encourage the president to use other means to move around unused money to build off of the down payment on border security Congress is delivering with this funding bill.”
Across the Capitol, GOP criticism of Trump’s executive move was even more scathing.
Sen. Booker (D-N.J.) is running for president, while Sen. Sanders (I-Vt.) is expected by many to enter the race.
“It doesn’t matter who the President is or what party they belong to: I strongly believe in the separation of powers and curbing the kind of executive overreach that Congress has allowed to fester for the better part of the last century, including during the Obama Administration,” Tillis said in a statement.
“I’m not advocating for any president doing an end-run around Congress,” she said. “I’m just saying that the Republicans should have some dismay about the door that they are opening.”
The bipartisan pushback arrived within hours after Trump, speaking from the White House Rose Garden, declared a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border. The president argued that waves of migrants streaming north from Central America pose a direct threat to national security, leaving him no choice but to sidestep Congress and direct $8 billion from other projects to build the wall he’d promised during his 2016 campaign.
“It’s a great thing to do because we have an invasion of drugs, invasion of gangs, invasion of people,” Trump said.
A day earlier, Congress had passed a sweeping federal spending bill, providing funds to roughly a quarter of the government — including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) — and preventing another partial shutdown.
Passage by the House would create an enormous headache for McConnell. Although the Kentucky Republican said he supports Trump’s declaration, the National Emergencies Act requires that such a resolution is deemed privileged, guaranteeing a vote on the Senate floor, and highlighting GOP divisions with Trump.
Democrats could file such a suit themselves, or piggyback onto other legal challenges sure to come from states, landowners and other stakeholders affected by new wall construction. California, for instance, announced Friday that it will file such a suit. And others are eager to join.
“I am voting for Poroshenko because he has already demonstrated his ability to do things, not just words,” said Nataliia Pavlik, 72, after she voted in Kiev on Sunday. She also named the ability to travel to Europe visa-free, church autonomy and the army as important considerations.
“He raised it from the ashes. I want him to anchor all of this for the next five years,” she added.
Ms. Tymoshenko, 58, has adopted populist positions like plans to cut gas prices in half and to raise wages without being specific about how to pay for them. Subsidized gas prices were raised at the insistence of the International Monetary Fund, whose support is critical to Ukraine’s recovery.
She also sells herself as being able to bargain with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia because she had dealt with him as prime minister. But she earned her own fortune through gas deals with Russia, a common source of wealth for the Ukrainian elite, earning the nickname “the gas princess.”
Ms. Tymoshenko was also prosecuted and imprisoned by the Russian-aligned former government. Paul Manafort, Mr. Trump’s onetime campaign manager who has been sentenced to prison in the United States over undeclared income from Ukraine, among other things, had orchestrated a long, expensive, smear campaign against her.
Anatoly S. Hrytsenko, a former defense minister, is fourth in the polls and a possible dark-horse candidate given his military background.
Biden hopes to find middle ground with republican voters.
Rep.Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday briefly grabbed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s gavel to preside over the House — reportedly becoming the youngest woman ever to do so.
“Every day here is a sacred privilege + responsibility entrusted to me by my community. I never forget that, and moments like these drive it home,” she wrote.
Ocasio-Cortez, 29, presided over the House of Representatives for roughly an hour as part of a routine rotation of members, Reuters reported.
The congresswoman presided over “special orders,” which typically consists of House members discussing their home districts after legislative business is completed.
“That was my first time presiding. And it’s exciting,” Ocasio-Cortez told reporters. “It’s certainly a view. I wish we could, I wish we were allowed to take photos.”
Last month, Pelosi, D-Calif., described Ocasio-Cortez as “a wonderful member of Congress, as I think all of our colleagues will attest” as she said certain districts, like the freshman rep’s, are “solidly Democratic.”
Fox News’ Bradford Betz contributed to this report.
Illinois State Police Trooper Brooke Jones-Story had her police family, her CrossFit family, the farm animals she rescued — roles in many communities that are already missing her, according to her relatives.
She had pulled over a truck and was outside her car about 12:20 p.m., inspecting the truck on the shoulder of the road, when another semitractor-trailer hit her, along with her squad car and the truck she’d stopped, state police said. Both trucks erupted in flames. The driver of the truck that hit Jones-Story was ticketed and taken into custody, and no one else was injured, authorities said.
Two days after her death, Jones-Story’s family released a statement through the state police agency where she worked for 12 years — and where met her husband, Master Sgt. Robert Story, whom she married in 2012 in Galena, Ill. The family described Jones-Story as a strong, service-driven woman who loved her family and friends and was passionate about her work as a trooper.
John Delaney reacts to round two of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary debates.
Democratic presidential candidate John Delaney doubled down on his attack against progressive candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, saying their impossible “fairy tale” promises will never happen.
The former Maryland congressman, who took on Warren specifically on the Democratic debate stage on Tuesday, appeared on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday morning reiterating his message of being a moderate Democrat standing against the rising tide of far-left policies in the primary.
“Either vote for someone who wants to solve problems and has ideas that are workable … or do we nominate someone who’s got a bunch of fairy tale economics or impossible promises, none of which will ever happen,” Delaney said. ‘As I said, they’ll turn off the independent voters and get the president reelected, in my opinion.”
“Either vote for someone who wants to solve problems and has ideas that are workable … or do we nominate someone who’s got a bunch of fairy tale economics or impossible promises, none of which will ever happen.”
— John Delaney
Delaney, who’s polling at just a fraction of Warren and has an uphill battle to ensure he qualifies for later debates, said Warren isn’t the only one proposing impossible solutions.
“It’s not just Elizabeth Warren, it’s Bernie Sanders. If you take what they’re saying to an extreme, what’s next?” he asked. “Free vacations, free housing, free everything. I mean, at some point we do have to pay for these things.”
During the debate, Delaney drew the ire of progressives after saying “Democrats win when we run on real solutions, not impossible promises. When we run on things that are workable, not fairy tale economics.”
Warren attracted applause after firing back, saying “I don’t understand why anybody goes to all the trouble of running for president of the United States just to talk about what we really can’t do and shouldn’t fight for. I don’t get it.”
But Delaney said Warren’s response was a “dishonest, kind of lazy” statement that shows “the problem with the extreme left of the party.”
“When you point out obvious flaws in the things they’re talking about, they say, well, that’s a Republican talking point,” he said. “And I’m like, no, it’s actually a fact that you should be able to defend.”
“I think the same thing with Elizabeth Warren. When I point out that the things she’s proposing are fairy tale economics, she says, oh, you’re not being ambitious enough.”
He added: “if you actually look at the things I’m proposing, which is to actually create universal health care where every American has health care as a basic right, but we allow people to have choices, that doesn’t sound like a plan that’s not ambitious, that actually sounds like a plan that I’ll have to work incredibly hard and use every ounce of political capital to potentially get done.
“So I think it’s just kind of lazy and a dishonest response to people who don’t feel comfortable defending these kind of crazy proposals.”
Alejado del medio artístico desde noviembre por una promesa a su familia (acompañar a su hijo Noah en el tratamiento para el cáncer de hígado), Michael Bublé decidió volver al trabajo. Ya más tranquilo ante el buen estado de salud del pequeño de tres años, el canadiense puso fecha a su regreso: 28 de junio.
En una elegante ceremonia, el Gobernador de Canadá le otorgará el Premio del Centro de Artes de ese país. Y al día siguiente Bublé tendrá un concierto en ese recinto, que será trasmitido en vivo por la televisión canadiense.
Noah Bublé, el hijo de Luisana Lopilato y Michael Bublé, tiene cáncer noah buble Luisana Lopilato y Michael Buble el hijo de Lopilato y Buble tiene cancer cancer infantil
Las señales de recuperación de Noah son claras. Semanas atrás, Luisana Lopilato la esposa del cantante, volvió al rodaje de la película que protagoniza y que se había suspendido (Los que aman odian). “Gracias a Dios, mi hijo está bien. Gracias por el respeto. Quiero agradecer a la gente por el apoyo, por las cadenas de oraciones que hicieron, por el amor. Y quiero que sepan, transmitirles, que todo llegó, que nos ayudó muchísimo para salir adelante”, dijo en conferencia de prensa.
“Estamos muy agradecidos de informar que nuestro hijo ha estado progresando bien durante su tratamiento y los médicos son muy optimistas sobre el futuro. Noah fue valiente durante todo el proceso y seguimos inspirados por su coraje. Damos gracias a Dios por la fuerza que nos ha dado a todos. Nuestra gratitud a los doctores y personal de salud no puede ser puesta en palabras”, escribió en febrero Bublé en redes sociales.
Nacido en Burnaby, el cantante de 41 años, hijo de un pescador, ganó cuatro Grammy. En 2008 conoció a Luisana y se comprometió con ella un año después. Coescribió el sencillo Haven’t Met You Yet e invitó a la rubia a protagonizar el videoclip. En 2011 se casaron y enseguida el público argentino lo adoptó.

El papa Francisco ha respaldado a Donald Trump como presidente; una pizzería de Washington DC es la fachada de una banda de pederastas; el magnate y filántropo estadunidense George Soros “derribará” a Estados Unidos financiando a “organizaciones negras que promueven la intolerancia”.
Estos son sólo algunos ejemplos de noticias falsas que se viralizaron en las redes sociales recientemente, pese a que no tienen fundamento alguno. El jueves, Facebook anunció que tomaría algunas medidas para detener la propagación de estas “noticias falsas” en su sitio web.
Esto incluye trabajar con las organizaciones que revisan información y acabar con los incentivos financieros para quienes llama “la peor gente de la peor”, porque envía correo basura y lucra con las noticias falsas. Sin embargo, hay cosas básicas que los lectores pueden hacer para detectarlas. Una posibilidad es reportarlas a Facebook, que puede revisar su contenido.
CONSTATE LA FUENTE
Algunos sitios fraudulentos, creados para atraer con tal de ganar dinero con anuncios publicitarios, tienen diseños que parecen sitios web legítimos y conocidos. Esta tomadura de pelo puede ser muy efectiva, pero hay indicios sobresalientes de que no son verdaderas.
Por ejemplo, cuidado con los artículos en sitios cuyas direcciones electrónicas, o URL, terminan en “com.co”, alerta Melissa Zimdars, profesora de comunicaciones de Merrimack College, cuya lista de “noticias falsas” se viralizó. (Desde entonces, ella lo ha retirado y publicado una guía más general). También se puede consultar la página “About” del sitio web, su lista de contactos, y otras historias y fotos. Si las cosas se ven poco oficiales, probablemente estás en un sitio fraudulento.
GRAMÁTICA Y EMOCIONES
¿Hay un uso al azar de palabras en mayúscula? ¿Muchos signos de exclamación? ¿Tiene sentido cuando lo lees en voz alta? ¿O simplemente tiene algo raro? ¿Suena como que están enojados, airados o emotivos? Ninguna de estas situaciones son buenas señales.
MIRA OTRAS COBERTURAS
Si una noticia es real y bastante grande, probablemente (pero no siempre) verás la misma información en distintas fuentes: sitios como ABC News, The Associated Press, el New York Times u otros lugares ya conocidos ¿Esos medios son mencionados en tu periódico local?
Pongámoslo de esta manera: Si el papa realmente respaldó a Trump, lo verías en todas partes.
FUENTES, FUENTES, FUENTES
Una manera de ver si una noticia es verdadera es buscando en Google a las personas nombradas. Podrían tener un perfil en LinkedIn o aparecer en otros sitios noticiosos, por ejemplo ¿Alguien dice que es un catedrático? Busca su nombre o el de la universidad en Google ¿Es un estudio sobre una nueva cura para el cáncer? Búscalo.

The attorney for Adam Toledo’s family said the 13-year-old did not have a gun in his hand when he was shot and killed by a Chicago police officer.
The family was not present for a press conference late Thursday afternoon in La Grange Park. The attorney said the family is going through a lot of pain after seeing the body cam video of the shooting, which was released to the public by the Civilian Office of Police Accountability on Thursday.
“(It was) especially moving, saddening, distressful to see a 13 year old boy shot at the hands of the officer,” she said. “For those of you with children you can relate to some of the pain that the Toledos’ are feeling today.”
Local
The body camera video that shows the shooting begins with about 1 minute and 45 seconds of the officer driving to the scene in the Little Village neighborhood before exiting his vehicle and running down an alley.
“Police, stop! Stop right f***ing now,” the officer can be heard yelling as Adam appears to pause near a fence bordering a parking lot at the end of the alley. Toledo is then seen turning toward the officer with his hands up.
The officer can be heard yelling, “Hey show me your f***ing hands, drop it, drop it,” firing one shot as Adam turns and puts his hands up, just under 20 seconds after the officer exited his vehicle.
As Adam turns and raises his hands, he’s illuminated by a flashing light and the body camera footage appears to show that both of the boy’s hands are empty.
“Those videos speak for themselves,” she said. “Adam during his last second of life did not have a gun in his hand.”
A surveillance video from across the parking lot, though recorded from a distance, appears to show Adam make a tossing motion with his right hand behind the fence before turning to face the approaching officer. It was at that time that the officer fired.
“This is why I want to be especially clear right now that that child comply at the officer’s request, dropped the gun, turned around, the officer’s saw his hands were up and pulled the trigger,” he said.
The Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney said Toledo had a gun in his right hand when he was shot by police during a bond hearing for 21 year old Ruben Roman over the weekend.
A spokesperson for the SAO walked those comments back on Thursday.
“An attorney who works in this office failed to fully inform himself before speaking in court,” a spokesperson for the office said in a statement in response to questions over whether or not the teen was in fact holding a gun at the time of the shooting. “Errors like that cannot happen and this has been addressed with the individual involved. The video speaks for itself.”
Speaking on behalf of Toledo’s family, attorney Adeena Weiss Ortiz said the body cam video was hard for the family to watch.
Surveillance video from Farragut High School provides a different angle of the shooting. The family’s attorney believes Toledo tossed the gun behind the fence before turning to face the officer.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability and the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office are conducting investigations of the shooting. The attorney said right now the family just wants justice for Adam.
“I don’t know if the officer had enough time or not all I know is that the officer’s trained to not shoot an unharmed individual not shoot an unharmed child,” she said.
Inslee focuses on climate change in his closing statement, while Gillibrand makes her electability argument, positioning herself as the progressive who can convert white working class voters.
Tras la decisión de la Audiencia, se abre un panorama complejo en el que, con la aplicación de la doctrina Botín, es poco probable que la Infanta tenga que ir finalmente a juicio
“It is inappropriate, in my judgment, for senators on either side of the aisle to prejudge the evidence before they have heard what is presented to us, because the each of us will take an oath, an oath that I take very seriously to render impartial justice,” Collins said in an interview with Maine Public Radio on Monday.
The Maine lawmaker’s comments came after fellow moderate Republican from Alaska, Sen. Lisa Murkowski, voiced her own reservations about McConnell’s declaration that he was in lockstep with the White House to set the trial procedures. Murkowski said she was “disturbed,” and that it “further confused the process.”
