Fox News, NBC yank ‘racist’ Trump campaign ad
Fox News, Fox Business and NBC said Monday they will stop airing a campaign ad for President Trump that was widely condemned as racist after NBC ran it during an NFL “Sunday Night Football” game. CNN had earlier declined to run the ad, deeming it racist. The ad was part of Team Trump’s campaign to demonize immigrants as the pivotal midterms approach to fire up the president’s “America First,” nativist base.

I’m a US Citizen Living in Honduras. Here’s What I Think About the Caravan.
As many are aware of the press covering of the current drama of the large caravans of Hondurans and other Central Americans parading north to the U.S. border, many of us here in Honduras (on the other end of the equation) are deeply troubled as this wrong mindset affects many who are in our area. I personally feel very uncomfortable about the chaos many of the uneducated immigrants will thrust upon the United States. And the way in which they have forsaken international laws and police barricades cannot be justified. Some are indeed refugees seeking legitimate asylum. But others are simply fleeing generally difficult (but not dire) conditions, or have simply chosen what seems to be the easier route of escape.

Half of the Russians in London are spies, claims new report
Tens of thousands of Russian spies are living in Britain, a major report which has been endorsed by the former head of MI6 has warned. A new study from the Henry Jackson Society thinktank said there were as many as 75,000 informants in London - half the 150,000 Russians who live in the capital - who are actively helping Moscow's secret service. The study also warned of a huge increase of Russian case officers in the UK over the past eight years, with 200 officers handling an estimated 500 agents. And the report estimated that as many as half of Russian Embassy diplomats are actively engaged in intelligence work.
