>“I can’t believe this is happening in my city,” said Charles Washmon, a 51-year-old contractor who was standing near a statue of Jefferson Davis, the Confederate president, on Thursday. Mr. Washmon, who is white, was part of a group of protesters waving Confederate flags who had been attracting both honks of support and invectives from passing cars all afternoon. Like Mr. Stewart, he feared that removing the statues would deprive a history-laden city of a crucial layer of its past. “It’s a travesty,” Mr. Washmon said.

>In December 2015, Mr. Landrieu, a Democrat who will leave office next year because of term limits, signed an ordinance calling for the removal of four monuments related to the Confederacy and its aftermath. It was six months after Dylann Roof, a white supremacist with a fondness for Confederate symbols, massacred nine black people in a church in Charleston, S.C. One of the monuments, an obelisk honoring a violent uprising in 1874 by white New Orleanians who rejected Reconstruction, was taken down on April 24 by workers wearing flak jackets and scarves to conceal their identities.

>The unease has only grown since then. Mr. Landrieu has said that the city plans to remove the remaining three monuments, first, the statue of Davis, then those of two Confederate generals, P.G.T. Beauregard and Robert E. Lee, over the course of the next month or so. Last week, the statue of Beauregard was slathered in red paint by vandals. And Confederate sympathizers and fans of the statues have been flocking to the city from as far away as New Mexico and Colorado to protest their removal.

>On Monday night, defenders of the statues squared off against a large group of opponents near the Davis statue in the Mid-City area. “Get the hell out of New Orleans,” the multiracial group of opponents sang, to the tune of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” using much stronger language, “because you’re not wanted here.”
...

>The police arrested five people on charges of disturbing the peace and other infractions, and city officials have surrounded the statue with barricades and police guards. But the crowds continued to gather, and some defenders of the statues have come heavily armed. A man who referred to himself only as K.K. walked along a median on Tuesday carrying an AK-47, with a Glock handgun on his waist.

>Mr. Landrieu has said the city is sticking to the plan, though it appears that will not be easy. Removing the remaining statues will require the use of a heavy crane, and the mayor told The Times-Picayune that every crane company in the region had received threats.

>Critics of the statues are planning a second line parade “to bury white supremacy” Sunday afternoon that will end at Lee Circle, the roundabout near downtown where the Lee statue is located. White supremacist and neo-Confederate groups have been encouraging their followers online to turn out as well, and city officials are on edge.

>On Saturday night, the New Orleans Police Department issued an advisory warning that a “higher than normal law enforcement presence” would be evident around the Davis and Lee statues on Sunday.

>“We understand there are strong emotions surrounding this subject and we ask that the public remain peaceful and respectful while demonstrating,” the statement said.

>The White House maintains that Mr. Trump’s commitment to defeating the opioid epidemic will be addressed in his 2018 budget request and that a bevy of federal programs already exist to fight the war on drugs. The administration envisions a streamlined O.N.D.C.P. coordinating drug policy in a fashion similar to how the National Economic Council coordinates economic policy, helping to craft it without making grants. But critics say the cuts would weaken a centralized office key to battling drugs.

>Mr. Trump has so far struggled to get his spending priorities pushed through Congress. Republicans are also under fire from those who claim that the health care legislation passed by the House of Representatives this week would reduce mental health and drug addition coverage offered through insurance plans if it became law.

>The cuts also seemed at odds with Mr. Trump’s stated views on drug addiction. In March, the White House announced plans to set up a commission to address the country’s opioid crisis. At the time, Mr. Trump said, “This is a total epidemic and I think it’s probably, almost un-talked about compared to the severity that we’re witnessing.”

>As a candidate, Mr. Trump talked regularly about the country’s drug addiction problem and said drugs were a reason that a wall was needed along the border with Mexico.

>“We’re going to take all of these kids — and people, not just kids — that are totally addicted and they can’t break it,” Mr. Trump said at an event in Ohio last year. “We’re going to work with them, we’re going to spend the money, we’re going to get that habit broken.”

>The Trump administration released a “skinny budget” in March that asked for deep cuts to domestic programs in exchange for a big increase in military spending, but did not detail the plans for the White House’s drug office. A more comprehensive budget will be released this month.

>John Czwartacki, a spokesman for the Office of Management and Budget, said in a statement that the budget was still under review. “Reports that suggest budgetary numbers or policy decisions are premature and subject to change before the late May publication of the budget,” he said.

>Some advocacy organizations, such as the Drug Policy Alliance, were cautiously optimistic that changes to the O.N.D.C.P. could be helpful. The drug epidemic has worsened in recent years under its watch and there is concern that the Trump administration would use a powerful drug czar to aggressively treat drug abuse as a criminal justice issue rather than as a public health problem.

>“The reality is that O.N.D.C.P. is an agency in dire need of reform,” said Grant Smith, deputy director of national affairs for the Drug Policy Alliance, who said that the grant programs being cut “are a phenomenal waste of money that contribute to the incarceration and stigmatization of drug users.”

>Groups that are dedicated to combating substance abuse were worried on Friday and a coalition of them scrambled to draft a letter to the White House condemning the cuts.

>Kevin Sabet, president of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, who advised three former presidents on drug policy and organized the letter, said he was stumped by Mr. Trump’s decision to make cuts to his drug office. “It felt like a sucker punch in the face,” Mr. Sabet said after word trickled out about the cuts. “This is a time when we have one of the largest opioid epidemics in history and the rise of a new industry of people selling pot candy to kids.”

>Democrats pounced on the proposed cuts as a significant broken promise by the president.

>“This is a cruel betrayal by Trump,” said Daniel Wessel, a spokesman for the Democratic National Committee. “Throughout the campaign, Trump promised communities ravaged by opioid addiction that he would come to their aid. That was a lie.”

>Some Republicans were also unhappy, arguing that Mr. Trump was underestimating the importance of the drug czar’s work. Senator Rob Portman of Ohio said that the antidrug programs that the Trump administration wants to eliminate have had a profoundly positive impact in his state.

>“We have a heroin and prescription drug crisis in this country and we should be supporting efforts to reverse this tide, not proposing drastic cuts to those who serve on the front lines of this epidemic,” Mr. Portman said.

>On the call, executives noted that Trump’s executive orders on immigration enforcement and Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ recent announcement on prosecuting undocumented immigrants more forcefully will mean more arrests, more detention and, thus, more demand for their services—which their CEO, George Zoley, said were “culturally responsive environments.”

>The call gave a broad picture of how private prison companies expect to see the Trump administration roll out its immigration crackdown: with more deportations of people with deep ties to the United States, and more immigrant detention in the northeast of the country.

>Zoley said a new ICE contract for a 1,000-bed detention center in Conroe, Texas, will cost $117 million to build and will generate $44 million in revenue per year once it’s opened in late 2018. The CEO said the company expects “increased demand for detention capacity at the federal level,” and that it bought the Maverick County Detention Center in Texas for $15 million to meet that demand.

>On top of that, the CEO noted the company has enough space to detain 7000 more people than it is right now, which could mean another $60 million per year in revenue.

>GEO Group investors who asked questions on the call were closely following the impact of Trump’s changes on the business, peppering the executives with questions about how policy changes could make the company more lucrative. Michael Kodesch, an analyst with Cannacord Genuity, asked what the company saw as “the new opportunity set” given Congressional budgeting.

>“What we see is ICE beginning to implement their interior enforcement strategy,” said David Venturella, the company’s senior vice president of business development. “For the past 8 to 10 years, the focus has been on the border. I think everybody has seen the number of apprehensions and crossings going down, so Phase 2 of that strategy is to focus in the interior.
...

>“Does the change or, I guess, the introduction of more emphasis on interior enforcement—does that change the agency’s geographic preference, as far as incremental bed demand?”

>Venturella responded that he expected more immigrant detention facilities near big cities.

>“I think as ICE deploys more resources to the larger metropolitan areas within the United States, I think the bed needs will be closer to those sources,” he said. “So yes, there will be less needs along the border if the rate of border-crossings and apprehensions remain low, then the need will shift to the interior part of the United States.”

>Then Sommer asked how enforcement could “impact activity levels” at the U.S. Marshals and Bureau of Prisons, both of which also have contracts with GEO.

>“Well, I think any enforcement by federal law enforcement agencies could generate more prosecution convictions and then eventual detention in the federal system,” Venturella said. “I think the attorney general’s recent announcement regarding the prosecution of criminal aliens would apply to all the federal agencies, so we will monitor the impact of that new policy directive. But certainly, any increase in law enforcement activity could generate additional apprehensions and then eventually detentions.”

>In the final months of the Obama administration, the Justice Department announced it would stop signing new contracts with private prison companies. That announcement came after a watchdog report concluded people incarcerated in private prisons were more likely to commit crimes again than than people held in public ones. Shortly after becoming attorney general, Sessions reversed this decision.

>And the investors sound pleased.

Gene therapy will probably be the next huge breakthrough. We could conceivably have biological immortality once gene therapy really gets up and running.

>Successful votes later this week would also clear away any remaining threat of a government shutdown — at least until the Oct. 1 start of the 2018 budget year. Trump has submitted a partial 2018 budget promising a whopping $54 billion, 10 percent increase for the Pentagon from current levels, financed by cutting to foreign aid and other nondefense programs by an equal amount. Negotiators on the pending measure, however, rejected a smaller $18 billion package of cuts and instead slightly increased funding for domestic programs.

>Democrats were quick to praise the deal.

>"This agreement is a good agreement for the American people, and takes the threat of a government shutdown off the table," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., a key force in the talks. "The bill ensures taxpayer dollars aren't used to fund an ineffective border wall, excludes poison pill riders, and increases investments in programs that the middle class relies on, like medical research, education and infrastructure."

>Some Republican conservatives, however, were wary. "I think you're going to see conservatives have some real concerns with this legislation," Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio said on CNN, citing domestic spending obtained by Democrats and other issues. "We told (voters) we were going to do a short-term spending bill that was going to come due at the end of April so that we could fight on these very issues, and now it looks like we're not going to do that."

>Trump said at nearly every campaign stop last year that Mexico would pay for the 2,000-mile (3218.54-kilometer) border wall, a claim Mexican leaders have repeatedly rejected. The administration sought some $1.4 billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars for the wall and related costs in the spending bill, but Trump later relented and said the issue could wait until September.

>Trump, however, obtained $1.5 billion for border security measures such as 5,000 additional detention beds, an upgrade in border infrastructure and technologies such as surveillance.

>The measure is assured of winning bipartisan support in votes this week; the House and Senate have until midnight Friday to pass the measure to avert a government shutdown. It's unclear, however, how much support the measure will receive from GOP conservatives such as Jordan and how warmly it will be received by the White House.

>Democrats played a strong hand in the talks since their votes are needed to pass the bill, even though Republicans control both the White House and Congress. As a result, the measure doesn't look much different than the deal that could have been struck on President Barack Obama's watch last year.

>But Republicans are eager to move on to other issues such as overhauling the tax code and reviving their moribund effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Obama's health care law.

>"The omnibus (spending bill) is in sharp contrast to President Trump's dangerous plans to steal billions from lifesaving research, instead increasing funding for the NIH (National Institutes of Health) by $2 billion," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, said in a statement that nonetheless fell short of endorsing the bill outright.

>While the measure would peacefully end a battle over the current budget year, the upcoming cycle is sure to be even more difficult. Republicans have yet to reveal their budget plans, and battles between Trump and Congress over annual agency budgets could grind this summer's round of spending bills to a halt.

>Among the final issues resolved was a Democratic request to help the cash-strapped government of Puerto Rico with its Medicaid burden, a top Pelosi priority.

>The California Democrat and others in her party came up short of the $500 million or so they had sought but won $295 million for the island, more than Republicans had initially offered.

>Democrats were successful in repelling many conservative policy "riders" that sought to overturn dozens of Obama-issued regulations. Such moves carry less urgency for Republicans now that Trump controls the regulatory apparatus.

>House Republicans succeeded in funding a private school vouchers program for students in Washington, D.C.'s troubled school system through 2019.

>GOP leaders decided against trying to use the must-do spending bill to "defund" Planned Parenthood. The White House also backed away from language to take away grants from "sanctuary cities" that do not share information about people's immigration status with federal authorities. Trump's request for additional immigration agents was denied and the IRS budget would be frozen at $11.6 billion.

>“The Republican House Freedom Caucus was able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory,” Trump tweeted days later, before saying that his plan for healthcare is “in very good shape!” and he would forge ahead with the bill. “The Freedom Caucus will hurt the entire Republican agenda if they don't get on the team,” he wrote, prodding the hard-right Republicans to sit down at the negotiating table.

>Representative MacArthur is a co-chair of the Tuesday Group, and his amendment granting waivers to the states is a bargaining chip to sway the roughly three dozen members of the Freedom Caucus to vote for Trump’s bill.

>On Capitol Hill Tuesday, the Freedom Caucus met to consider the changes worked out between MacArthur and their leader, North Carolina Representative Mark Meadows.

>Meadows said the plan "has real merits worthy of consideration for all the Freedom Caucus folks" and that he is optimistic they will reach a deal.

From Guardian:

North Korea has accused the CIA of plotting with South Korea to assassinate Kim Jong-un, amid soaring tensions in the flashpoint region.

The CIA and Seoul’s intelligence services have “hatched a vicious plot” involving unspecified “biochemical substances” to kill the hermit state’s young leader during public ceremonial events in Pyongyang, the North’s ministry of state security said.

In a statement carried by state media the ministry said that for the CIA “assassination by use of biochemical substances including radioactive substance and nano poisonous substance is the best method that does not require access to the target”.

The accusation comes as Pyongyang issues increasingly belligerent rhetoric in a tense stand off with the administration of US president Donald Trump over its rogue weapons programme.

The war of words between the west and the reclusive regime has intensified in recent weeks, and Pyongyang has threatened to carry out a sixth nuclear test that would further inflame tensions.

The CIA and Seoul’s intelligence services have “ideologically corrupted and bribed a DPRK citizen surnamed Kim” to carry out the attack on the leader, the statement said.

“We will ferret out and mercilessly destroy to the last one the terrorists of the US CIA and the puppet IS [intelligence service] of South Korea,” the statement said, adding that the plot was tantamount to “the declaration of a war”.

“The heinous crime, which was recently uncovered and smashed in the DPRK, is a kind of terrorism against not only the DPRK but the justice and conscience of humankind and an act of mangling the future of humankind.”

The statement did not give any information on how the plot was foiled or what happened to the alleged spy.

... part 2

The North Korean regime is suspected of involvement in the death of Kim’s half-brother Kim Jong-nam, who was poisoned with a nerve agent in Kuala Lumpur airport in February.

North Korea maintains extensive surveillance operations over its own population, and open dissent against the regime is considered extremely difficult.

>The Macron campaign called the leaks a "massive and co-ordinated hack" in a statement reported by Reuters.

How nice of TheHill.com to disingenuously frame it like the outrage is generated from US Congressional democrats.

Despite missing some popular channels such as AMC (The Walking Dead), Discovery and Nickelodeon, Hulu's live TV service has 18 of the top 25 primetime networks and represents a different offering to what's already out there for live TV streaming, said Vijay Jayant, research analyst for investment banking firm Evercore ISI, in a note to investors Wednesday.

That could help Hulu, especially given higher than-expected reductions in pay-TV subscribers during the first three months of 2017,he said.

Skinny bundle competitor

Hulu's monthly price compares well with other entrants in the growing "skinny bundle" battle. YouTube TV, which launched recently with ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC in the same cities Hulu is in, is priced at $35 monthly, but does not have the Turner channels (CNN, TBS).

Sling TV can be lower-priced than Hulu ($20-$40 monthly), but does not have CBS, or ABC in all markets. DirecTV Now ($35-$70) can offer more channels, but no CBS or cloud DVR, while Sony's PlayStation Vue (starts at $29.99) also does not have all broadcast affiliates nationwide.

Hulu says the combination of live linear TV and an abundant on-demand library gives the company a selling point lacked by other Net TV players such as Netflix and Sling TV.

“Hulu can now be a viewer’s primary source of television," said Hulu CEO Mike Hopkins in a statement.

So far, about two million subscribe to these live Net TV services, estimates Evercore ISI's Jayant.

Hulu, which has offered Net-delivered on-demand video since 2008, announced last year that it would add live TV to the service. Also last year, Hulu quit offering free content and added two subscription levels: a $7.99 monthly tier with limited ads and a $11.99 tier with no commercials.

The service has expanded its own original programming to include The Mindy Project, 11.22.63, The Path and new series The

Handmaid's Tale, while also providing current broadcast shows such as The Voice, Empire and Scandal (new episodes usually go live a few hours after broadcast, at about 5 a.m. ET/2 a.m. PT) and a library of other TV series such as Seinfeld and South Park and movies.

At launch, Hulu's live TV beta will be available on Apple TV, Chromecast and Xbox One, as well as Android and iOS mobile devices. Other devices including Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Samsung Smart TVs and Mac and Windows PCs will get the option soon.

The $39.99 beta service comes with 50 hours of cloud DVR recording storage and up to six individual Hulu profiles with two simultaneous streams. Subscribers can upgrade to 200 hours of cloud DVR storage for $14.99 monthly and up to as many streams at home as wanted (three outside the home) for $14.99. (Get both features -- expanded cloud DVR and unlimited screens -- for $19.99.) Subscribers can also add Showtime for $8.99 monthly.

Hulu also unveiled a makeover for its user interface with improved recommendations and a Kids Mode, which gives children browsing capabilities of only kid-friendly shows. The new look comes to all beta subscribers, as well as current subscribers on 4th generation Apple TV devices, Xbox One and Android mobile devices.

H1b are smart like me, we have better schools in India. We call Americans dumbo. Why are you Americans so fat. Just wondering?

In America we don't get as many holidays as India does and we are constantly busy so often we eat fast food so we can get more done. Too much fast food makes you gain weight. We also eat meat. However, not all Americans are fat and calling us dumbo is a huge insult. Just proves that you are racist.
