Rex Tillerson: Assad’s reign in Syria ‘coming to an end’: US hopes Russia will abandon Syria

0 4656

Today secretary of state Rex Tillerson is heading to Moscow for meetings with top officials. Now one of the big questions on the table did the Russians know about this Syrian chemical attack before it happened.

A new report claims that they did!

And how do Americans feel about that U.S. strike. Well a new ABC News and Washington Post poll suggests most support it,  but only by a small margin a very close race there.

Secretary of State lands there this morning after meeting with allies in Europe where he called on Russia for not keeping its promise to eliminate Syria’s chemical weapons.

Rex Tillerson states:

Stockpiles and continued use demonstrate that Russia has failed in its responsibility to deliver its 2013 commitment. It is unclear whether Russia failed to take this obligation seriously or Russia has been in competition with this distinction doesn’t much matter to the dead.

There had been some concern during Clinton’s confirmation that he would be soft on Russia but he’s going to Moscow with a very tough message.

He clearly has a tough message for Russia. Rex Tillerson saying this morning that Russia needs to take a hard look at its relationship with Assad asking whether siding with such an unreliable partners in Russia’s best interest.

Now the Russians have said that their support for Syria is not unconditional. and the relationship with the U.S. is lower than it was during the Cold War and that was even before the chemical weapons attack and before the U.S. missile strikes.

Still this morning in regards to the meeting the Russians declare:

 We expect constructive cooperation rather than confrontation alleviating tensions rather than escalating them.

Russians also said he would not be meeting with President Putin that means he’s the first secretary of state who won’t be meeting with a Russian leader on his first visit.

Now we have this new question about whether Russia knew about the chemical weapons attack before it happened?

We have some story saying that they did know that the Russians were aware of this chemical attack was about to happen. White House is saying at this time there is no U.S. intelligence community consensus that Russia had for knowledge of the Syrian chemical attack.

So the White House is denying that. But we don’t know whether or not some of the 17 intelligence agencies actually do believe Russia was.
The secretary also firming up his anti-Assad stance saying it’s clear to all of us that the reign of Assad’s family is coming to an end.

We’ve heard those mixed messages. What we don’t know is exactly what they mean by that and what will happen next?
              Let us know what do you think about this in the comments!

Melania Trump Doesn’t Like to be a First Lady

0 5033

Melania Trump has definitely kept the media attention lately. The First Lady, the wife of US President Donald Trump, is said to be quite unhappy with her new role. It has recently been reported that Melania is struggling with her new role, since she has never been in such a position before.

The news was reported by Us Weekly, which claimed that Melania is quite unhappy with her life now. Furthermore, the report indicated that Melania is not ready for all the responsibilities that come with being the First Lady of the United States. The claims were actually made by a friend of the First Lady, stylist Philip Bloch, who talked to Us Weekly about Melania’s feelings towards her new life.

“This life wasn’t her dream. It was Donald [Donald Trump]’s,” Philip Bloch claimed. “Truthfully, it’s a lot to cope with.” Bloch also claimed that Melania was quite affected by the fact that she was impersonated by Gigi Hadid during the American Music Awards. A Melania friend also said that she is not used to being so exposed to public backlashes and it is quite difficult for her to get used to this.

However, this may not be all. Melania was also affected by the fact that she was accused of trying to get money from the Daily Mail after she filed a lawsuit against the tabloid. Melania sued the Daily Mail following the publishing of a false story about her. The story was published in August 2016 and claimed that Melania used to work as an escort. The site later decided to retract the story and issued an apology.

However, Melania claimed that this affected her business and her image, but she was later accused of using her public position to get money from the Daily Mail. “Melania is unhappy with how her life ended up. She is miserable,” an alleged family friend also said. Well, this may actually be the reason why Melania is spending most of her time in her apartment and avoids going out too much. She remained in New York with her son.

Some shocking news have just been revealed. Actress Misty Upham, well known for her role in August Osage County, is missing. The star has been officially declared a missing person. 

The 32 year old actress was last spotted on October 5, when she was leaving from her sister’s apartment in Muckleshoot, Washington. Charles Upham, the star’s father, was the one who reported that the actress went missing. “Misty is considered an endangered missing person due to a medical condition. She has not been in contact with her family or friends since her disappearance,” he said in a statement. 

“She told me and her mom that we didn’t have to worry about her anymore … I thought it sounded suicidal myself, so I called the police,” Charles Upham also claimed in his statement. He added that unfortunately his daughter has always been a suicidal person. “She used to make (suicide) threats sometimes, but she never went through with it.” The statement did not specify which is this mental condition that the star is suffering from. 

Misty Upham is well known for her role as housekeeper Johanna Monevata in August: Osage County. She also played in Frozen River and Jimmy P. Misty is also set to star in Cake, an upcoming movie in which she also filmed a part. 

The cops are already investigating the case, as Misty has been missing for days now. “Our officers responded to her apartment where she lives with her parents on Sunday for a suicidal call,” a statement from the police said. “When our officers got there, she had already packed up some belongings and left the apartment, so the officers were not able to contact or find her,” it added.

Hopefully, Misty Upham will be found safe. “I think that she is either in a place where she cant’ get help – maybe she fell down and broke her leg and something, or she got in with the wrong crowd,” Misty’s father said. “I don’t think she would have taken her own life. I don’t want to think she is dead.”

Chris Brown under Fire for Ebola Comments

0 4211

Chris Brown just made some comments about Ebola, which managed to draw a lot of criticism. The famous singer claimed that Ebola actually is a “form of population control.”

The singer took Twitter to make these comments around 3 a.m. on October 13. Brown has no less than 13.7 million followers on the social networking site. The star claimed that the Ebola crisis which threatens the United States and the whole world might only be a population control conspiracy. 

“I don’t know … But I think this Ebola epidemic is a form of population control,” the Twitter post said. “Sh*t is getting crazy bruh,” Chris Brown added. Naturally, the singer’s followers who saw the post were not very happy with the comments that Brown made. They called the singer idiot and stupid and they said that he should “go to bed.”

As expected, Brown realized that he made a mistake with these comments and shared another Twitter post. “Let me shut my black ass up!” the famous singer claimed. However, the star has not deleted the posts, at least not yet. Still, it is expected for Brown to not make further comments on this disease.

Ebola is a high contagious disorder which has killed thousands of people. The World Health Organization revealed that the Ebola virus has actually killed more than 4,000 people, most of them living in Liberia. Two people have been diagnosed with Ebola in the United States. Unfortunately, one of the patients died from the disease. The second case of Ebola in the US has been diagnosed in a nurse. The most concerning thing about this case is that the nurse had been wearing protective gear, but she still developed the disease. 

This news has made health care workers in the US worry about the prospect of being diagnosed with Ebola, too. Airports across the country have started screening passengers from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, where Ebola is currently commonly diagnosed. Hopefully, the disease will not become a threat in the US or in other countries which have not been at risk until now.

Queen Elizabeth Names Angelina Jolie an Honorary Dame

0 4174

Angelina Jolie received a unique honor from no one else than Queen Elizabeth. The famous actress was presented with the Insignia of an Honorary Dame Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George. The actress attended a beautiful moment in the 1844 room at Buckingham Palace, in London. 

Queen Elizabeth named Angelina Jolie an honorary dame thanks to her humanitarian work against sexual violence. Reports revealed on Friday that the great honor actually came after Jolie’s implication in campaigns against rape in war zones. The Honorary Dame Grand Cross is the female equivalent of a knighthood. 

During the private ceremony that took place at Buckingham Palace, Angelina got to shake her majesty’s hand. Brad Pitt and the couple’s children accompanied Jolie at the ceremony. The Hollywood star looked absolutely irreproachable and she actually has chosen a perfect outfit for the event. Jolie worn a tailored lilac skirt with matching jacket, pearl earrings and elegant high heels. 

The Queen officially tanked the actress for her work to aid British foreign policy. Of course, Angelina Jolie was as happy as possible with the honor she received. Naturally, this wasn’t a big surprise, as the actress actually knew since June that she will be getting this award. Still, the moment was extremely beautiful for the talented actress. 

“To receive an honor related to foreign policy means a great deal to me, as it is what I wish to dedicate my working life to. Working on PVSI and with survivors of rape is an honor in itself,” Jolie claimed in June. “I know that succeeding in our goals will take a lifetime, and I am dedicated to it for all of mine,” the actress added. 

It rarely happens for people who are not Brits to receive such an honor. Angelina Jolie is an American citizen, not a British citizen, so she may not be addressed as Dame. She is not the first actress who received such an honor. An award was also received by Elizabeth Taylor for her amazing work. Mother Teresa and singer Bono are other non-Britons who received honorary damehood or knighthood.
