Trump White House Feels Heat On Puerto Rico:

Puerto Rico and Washington seem farther than 1,500 miles apart right now — in fact they’re experiencing a different version of reality.

Nine days after Hurricane Maria ravaged the island, emerging video and news reports of a heartrending humanitarian crisis are jarring with the Trump administration’s upbeat assessment of the relief effort.

And as the islanders’ plight is revealed, the White House risks becoming increasingly exposed politically at a time when it is already being pummeled by a tide of scandal and defeats, including the controversy over Cabinet members using private jets and the latest failed bid to repeal Obamacare.

Confused By Trump, North Korea Contacts Ex-US Officials:

The proverbial game of chicken between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has only escalated in recent months, but amid the public name-calling and threats of annihilation, regime officials have been quietly attempting to set up meetings with Republican analysts in an apparent attempt to better understand the mixed messages coming from the Trump administration.

North Korea has consistently demonstrated that it is unwilling to engage in direct negotiations over its rapidly developing nuclear program despite Trump’s fiery rhetoric and increased sanctions — growing more defiant in the wake of several successful ballistic missile launches and its latest nuclear test.

Jennifer Lopez Locates Last Of Family In Puerto Rico:

As she aids in the effort to help the people of Puerto Rico, Jennifer Lopez can now rest easy that her family members have been located.

The singer posted a video on her Instagram account of her aunt and uncle in Puerto Rico, which was hard hit by Hurricane Maria when the storm made landfall last week.
After a long 6 days we found the last of the family,” Lopez wrote in the caption of the video posted on Wedesday. “Now the rebuilding begins!! #tiotomás #titiadela #familia #puertorico #unidosporpuertorico #LOVE #lovemakestheworldgoround #TioNegroImissyou”

Earlier Lopez had posted a video about the devastation saying that she and her cousin still had not heard from family there. The storm destroyed much of the island’s infrastructure and knocked out cell phone service and electrical power.

Packers And Bears Stand, Link Arms Before NFL Game:

Some Green Bay Packers fans followed quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ request and locked arms Thursday night during the National Anthem before a game against the Chicago Bears.

The teams’ fans put aside the bitter rivalry and linked arms, too, as the Packers and Bears players stood and locked arms during the National Anthem.
The Packers players, coaches and their fans standing with their arms intertwined was meant to be a moment of unity at Lambeau Field in the wake of several protests by players around the league in response to President Donald Trump’s caustic comments last week.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus Has Breast Cancer:

“1 in 8 women get breast cancer. Today, I’m the one,” Louis-Dreyfus wrote.
The 56-year-old actress went on to say “The good news is that I have the most glorious group of supportive and caring family and friends, and fantastic insurance through my union.”
