Trump Carves Out Tough Commander-In-Chief Posture:

President Donald Trump is getting a taste for pulling the trigger.

In just the last week, the rookie commander-in-chief has presided over the use of some of the most powerful weaponry in the US arsenal, sending a signal that he is one President who relishes ordering the use of deadly force. It’s clear that he believes Washington and the rest of the world are watching.

First, Trump dispatched Tomahawk cruise missiles to slam into an airfield belonging to President Bashar al-Assad’s Syrian government forces, to punish what the US says is their use of chemical weapons. On Thursday, the military dropped one of its most powerful non-nuclear bombs — a 21,600-pound behemoth — over a warren of ISIS tunnels in Afghanistan.

36 ISIS Fighters Killed By US ‘Mother Of All Bombs’: Afghan Official:

In its second major display of military might in one week, the US dropped its most powerful non-nuclear bomb on ISIS positions in a remote part of Afghanistan.

Afghan officials said 36 militants were killed in the strike in Nangarhar province, near the Pakistan border, where the US military previously estimated ISIS had 600 to 800 active fighters.

The GBU-43/B Massive Ordinance Air Blast bomb (MOAB) was dropped on a network of fortified underground tunnels ISIS had been using to stage attacks on government forces Thursday night.

Nigeria’s Anti-Corruption Unit Finds $43 Million Cash In Lagos Apartment:

The Nigerian anti-corruption unit discovered more than $43 million in US dollars at an upscale apartment in Lagos.

The anti-graft agency said in a statement it raided the apartment Tuesday after a tipoff about a “haggard” woman in “dirty clothes” taking bags in and out of the apartment.

The agency said it also found 23.2 million naira (Nigerian currency worth $75,000) and £27,800 (UK currency, worth $35,000 US) “neatly arranged” inside cabinets hidden behind wooden panels of a bedroom wardrobe.

Ultra Long-Haul: On Board The World’s Longest Flight:

Next time you find yourself stuck in the middle seat on a very long flight, take solace in the fact there’s never been a better time in history to go long haul.

Qatar Airways have just launched the world’s longest route — 17 hours, 30 minutes one-way from Doha, Qatar to Auckland, New Zealand, over a distance of 14,539 kilometers.

It’s a major feat that tests both airline logistics and the endurance of the passengers and crew.

While it’s true we haven’t found a way — yet — to get rid of jet lag, or to fully mitigate the effects of pressurization and lower cabin oxygen content, air travel has come a long way.
