Georgeta Untaru lays a white chrysanthemum - "for his sincerity" - and lights a candle on the steps of the royal palace. A geologist by profession, she was born in March 1944, five months before the 23-year-old King Michael succeeded in switching Romania from the Nazi to the Allied side in World War Two. "Throughout the communist years, they taught us only bad things about him. It was only when he came back for the first time, in 1992, that I realised I'd been indoctrinated. Then I started to find out more about who he really was," she says.

California governor blames devastating wildfires on climate change and says deadly winter infernos will be 'the new normal'
California's governor has said that deadly wildfires in the winter will be 'the new normal', as fire crews rushed to contain the fires, with dry desert winds expected to intensify over the weekend. Governor Jerry Brown on Saturday toured Ventura County neighborhoods ravaged by a weeklong wildfire that killed at least one person and destroyed hundreds of homes and other buildings. At a news conference, the Democrat said drought and climate change mean California faces a 'new reality' where lives and property are continually threatened by fire, at a cost of billions of dollars.

The Myth of "Unaffordable" Health Insurance Just Won't Die
Health insurance is expensive, true, but so were cars, calculators, and cellphones, once. The difference is functioning markets. As the New York Times reported, “37 percent of the uninsured said that the reason they do not have insurance was because they could not afford it.” And then as readers can probably imagine, the rest of the Times article reported on the lack of affordable health insurance with a rather straight face.

FRIDAY WAS ONE of the most embarrassing days for the U.S. media in quite a long time. The humiliation orgy was kicked off by CNN, with MSNBC and CBS close behind, with countless pundits, commentators and operatives joining the party throughout the day. By the end of the day, it was clear that several of the nation’s largest and most influential news outlets had spread an explosive but completely false news story to millions of people, while refusing to provide any explanation of how it happened. The spectacle began on Friday morning at 11 a.m. EST, when the Most Trusted Name in News™ spent 12 straight minutes on air flamboyantly hyping an exclusive bombshell report that seemed to prove that WikiLeaks, last September, had secretly offered the Trump campaign, even Donald Trump himself, special access to the DNC emails before they were published on the internet. As CNN sees the world, this would prove collusion between the Trump family and WikiLeaks and, more importantly, between Trump and Russia, since the U.S. intelligence community regards WikiLeaks as an “arm of Russian intelligence,” and therefore, so does the U.S. media.

US Supreme Court Allows Trump to Shield Documents on DACA
The Supreme Court decision was settled by a 5 to 4 vote. The court noted the responses to Trump's petition for a writ of mandamus has to be filed by Wednesday. On September 5, the Trump administration terminated the Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the Obama-era program that granted legal protection to undocumented immigrants who had been brought to the US as children, with a six-month delay to allow US authorities to close pending DACA applications and renewals as well as give the US Congress an opportunity to pass legislation on the matter. On Friday, the US Supreme Court allowed President Donald Trump's administration to block internal records related to the termination of DACA program, court documents revealed.
