President Trump Makes A Deal President Trump’s time in office has been considerably shorter on deal-making and winning than he promised during his campaign, but this week, it was announced that he made a 90-day deal to raise the debt ceiling—with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Representative Nancy Pelosi, and the Democrats. 9. NFL Star Alleges Racial Profiling A number of NFL players have made waves over the last year by refusing to stand during the US national anthem (often instead kneeling or remaining seated) in order to protest the treatment of black communities by law enforcement. One of these players is Seahawks defensive lineman Michael Bennett, and if Mr. Bennett ever had any reservations about whether his protest was worthwhile, it’s safe to say he now has none. While in Las Vegas for the Mayweather/McGregor fight, he was caught in the middle of an incident in which he alleges Las Vegas police egregiously violated his civil rights.. 8 Hurricane Irma Blasts Caribbean, Heads For US Hurricane Harvey cut a path of destruction through Texas and soaked several other Southern states last week, but it appears Mother Nature may have just been getting warmed up. Hurricane Irma, currently a Category 5 monstrosity, has spent the last few days completely devastating the Caribbean islands, with 13 confirmed dead so far and entire cities left in rubble.: 7. Walter Becker Dies At 67 Hall of Fame rockers Steely Dan—as it has been noted, the only band to ever be named after a sex toy from a William Burroughs novel—have long been a revolving constellation of crack musicians orbiting the twin suns of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, the band’s founders and only original members. 6. China Sides With UN On North Korea; US Increases Pressure The North Korea situation predictably did not get any less tense last week, and the rogue nation continues to put even its apologists into tough spots. Its latest nuclear test came less than 80 kilometers (50 mi) from China’s border, forcing China to step up radiation monitoring amid fears of exposure to nuclear fallout. 5. A Little Girl Finds ‘Excalibur’ Let’s follow that up with a lighthearted, non-terrifying news item. Paul Jones of Doncaster, UK, took his young daughters on a day trip to Dozmary Pool in Cornwall, explaining to them on the way that according to folklore, this was the pool into which King Arthur threw the legendary Excalibur. The story was still fresh in seven-year-old Matilda’s mind as she was paddling around in the pool—and happened to notice a 1.2-meter-long (4 ft) sword lying on the bottom.[6]Mr. Jones told reporters, “She was only waist deep when she said she could see a sword. 4. Man Charged In Journalist’s Death Appears In Court One of the most bizarre stories to surface in recent months got an airing in court this last week. On August 11, the partial remains of successful freelance journalist Kim Wall washed ashore in Copenhagen, not far from where she had boarded the private submarine of Danish inventor Peter Madsen for a profile the day before. He initially told investigators he had dropped her off, but he soon changed his story to the same bizarre account that he repeated for a judge on Tuesday.[ 3. Youngest Follower Of Charles Manson Granted Parole At 68 Leslie Van Houten was only 19 the summer that her “family” participated in what would come to be known as the Tate-LaBianca murders, the highest-profile crimes of Charles Manson and his followers. She was present on the second of two consecutive nights of mayhem, during which she personally—as she admitted in court—helped kill Rosemary LaBianca by stabbing her 14 times. 2. President Trump Moves To End DACA In what critics are calling a truly heartless move, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced this week that the Trump administration will be ending the federal program known as DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), which had protected nearly 800,000 undocumented individuals who had been brought to the US as children. 1. Myanmar May Be Carrying Out A Genocide The Rohingya are a majority-Muslim ethnic group that reside in the western part of Myanmar, the country formerly known as Burma. But they won’t reside there for long, if Myanmar’s military has its way. Since late last month, over 140,000 Rohingya have fled into neighboring Bangladesh in response to an absolutely brutal military crackdown against the population.
