Donald Trump wanted to rename the Atlantic Ocean either 'Trump' or 'America' Ocean, but capitulated after speaking with Google CEO Sundar Pichai. "Oceans are different, sir. They cover really a lot of countries. Please don’t ask us to do that," Pichai reportedly said.

⭕️ Despite overwhelming video evidence and testimony from American journalists, including Heidi Levine herself and Jasper Nathaniel, who was with her, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee wrote a 78-word post condemning the "vicious & cowardly attack" on the Washington Post photojournalist without naming Israeli settlers as responsible. Huckabee called the attackers "masked cowards" and said the "details of who" are "under investigation." But who did it is not in question. Witnesses told the Times of Israel that about 80 settlers, many masked, came down on Palestinian olive pickers in Abu Falah. Video shows masked men beating Levine with clubs. She was left with a broken rib, four broken vertebrae and a finger ripped open to the bone, the Post said. Israeli military jeeps drove through while the attack continued, and soldiers fired tear gas at Palestinians, witnesses said. No arrests have been reported. Huckabee has spent his career erasing the people Israeli settlers target. He rejects the term "West Bank" in favor of "Judea and Samaria," and said in 2008 that "there's really no such thing as a Palestinian."
Heidi Levine, photojournalist for @wapo suffered serious injuries from vicious & cowardly attack. Heidi is US Citizen, clear ID as journalist. Details of who under investigation, but those who attacked unarmed reporter should spend YRS in prison. We have called for a full investigation, arrest, and prosecution to the fullest extent of the law to whoever participated in this. Attacking a female photographer is despicable act of terror carried out by masked cowards. Dishonorable act of senseless violence.

US Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh corrects #IMF Managing Director @KGeorgieva for saying #AI to describe Artificial Intelligence. He asserts that Americans call it 'SI' - an order given by Trump to his loyalists in an effort to personally capitalize on renaming the industry

Liza Minnelli has outlived Katie Zacharia's job as White House press secretary. Her bumbling incompetence at the podium lasted five days before she was shown the door.
