HBO's Bowie Documentary Ignores Reality
I watched the David Bowie documentary recently released on HBO GO, "The Last Five Years." Like nearly everything else on HBO, it was mostly liberal propaganda with little insight. It claimed to be about the last few years of Bowie's life with flashbacks to earlier points in his career but it completely ignored the most important period and manufactured several fictions.
Bowie's final album "Blackstar," whose title track alludes to the Nordic village of Ørmen, has its closest thematic and musical similarities to "Station to Station," which Bowie released during his prophetic period as the Thin White Duke. The documentary makes no mention of "Station to Station" or the Thin White Duke period. Instead it focuses on the supposed gun control message of "Valentine's Day" which makes no policy prescription for mass shootings, and claims, without evidence, that "Lazarus," arguably the best track from "Blackstar" and the title of Bowie's successful musical, has something to do with Jewish open borders poet Emma Lazarus, who wrote the words regrettably attached to the Statue of Liberty. Truth is far more interesting than these delusions, but for HBO, it is useless if it cannot be used to spread an anti-gun, pro-amnesty agenda.
If you are reading this, you are probably thinking about watching the documentary to learn something about Bowie, or, like me, you are upset about the documentary's failings. In either case, IPR-X can provide you with some of the useful, insightful information you seek. Let's look at the relevant connections to the end of Bowie's life and more importantly, what happened after he died.
It is speculated, "Lazarus" (or at least a part of the song) was influenced by an IPR post from Lazarus Mudd in 2014, which depicted New York City as a Sodom and Gomorrah awash with money, greed, and vice. The presence of the Republican Party in Trump Tower culminates with freedom and a rising of the spirit in the manner of Lazarus of Bethany.
"Blackstar" hearkening to "Station to Station" reflects the political climate around the release in January 2016. Examination of "Station to Station" shows a prophetic connection to Donald Trump and his rise to the US presidency.
In fact, a performance of "Station to Station" itself was prominent at the 2016 Republican National Convention. As a fan of Bowie, President Trump likely appreciates the vision of the Thin White Duke.

IPR-X Demands Immediate Arrest of Obama
IPR-X has just learned that prior to the 2016 election, President Obama performed a potentially illegal wiretap on President Trump and Trump Towers. Obama, a known liar, denies the story.
IPR-X demands the arrest of Obama and anyone else involved in obtaining this wiretap, likely meant to gain intelligence for the Crooked Hillary Clinton campaign. We need a full investigation into this matter and to place Obama under arrest so that he cannot destroy evidence and/or evade capture, and so that he may face justice for a multitude of crimes. This is just one of many potential criminal acts involving Obama that needs to be investigated thoroughly.
We also need to begin investigations of Obama's ties to al-Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the fraud behind the bogus Hawaii birth certificate. We need to look further into Fast & Furious, the IRS scandal, the VA scandal, Benghazi, Solyndra, and the Bergdahl trade. We need to investigate the potentially fictitious Osama bin Laden raid, Sandy Hook false flag, the arming of al-Qaeda and ISIS in Syria, and the wanton killing of civilians in Yemen and Afghanistan. We need a probe on Pizzagate, Mexican and Saudi interference in the 2016 election, and whether the CIA was used by Obama for political purposes.
Obama needs to be brought to task for his crimes. It is clear he is going to continue to undermine the country as a former president and that treason must be stopped. An arrest is the first step toward justice.

Music Monday: Lazarus
On September 19, 2014, I wrote the following on IPR:
New York City — my old stomping grounds — a modern day $odom and Gomorrah — the sewers are cleaner than the streets — the Republican Party owns a suite in Trump Tower where they put on Burlesque shows every Thursday night. It's nothing to worry about. Libertarians are fine.
"Come on up for the rising"
Years later, David Bowie released this song, with the title of my name (Lazarus) and a passage mirroring what I wrote above:
By the time I got to New York (my old stomping grounds)
I was living like a king (a suite in Trump Tower)
Then I used up all my money (a modern day $odom and Gomorrah)
I was looking for your ass (Burlesque shows)
This way or no way (It's nothing to worry about)
You know, I'll be free (Libertarians are fine)
Just like that bluebird (Come on up for the rising)
Now ain't that just like me (Lazarus)
Did I inspire Bowie to write this song? Maybe. The thematic similarities between the song and my blurb on IPR cannot be denied. Plus, the blurb was written before Bowie wrote the song. Perhaps most telling, I used the name "Lazarus the Great" as the author of the blurb, while the title of the song is "Lazarus" even though this name is not mentioned in the song (it is an allusion to the story in the Gospel of John of Jesus rising Lazarus of Bethany from the dead). There is a strong possibility Bowie read my post and then wrote the song (or at least the passage above) in response.
Kareem Caliente calls my 2014 blurb "prescient" not only because of its foreshadowing of "Lazarus" but because I made the connection between the Republican Party and Donald Trump before anyone had any idea he would run for President, much less become the Republican Party presidential nominee and President itself. Perhaps with the sarcastic tone of the final two sentences I foresaw the death of Libertarianism (as Nathan Norman declared last week), and then with reference to the Springsteen song "The Rising," I saw the rise of the Alt-Right from the corpse of Libertarianism, just like Lazarus.
Maybe I'm a prophet. Or maybe I'm just lucky.

[05:30:00] ALISON KOSIK, CNN HOST: Frustration is growing after the anti-Israel resolution at the U.N. The Obama administration is ignoring accusations it was behind the move, now getting set to reveal its roadmap to achieve peace, as the Israelis put some strength on working ties with countries that voted in favor of the U.N. measure. We have more from Jerusalem.
JOE JOHNS, CNN HOST: Donald Trump out of the public eye but by no means silent. He's unleashing a tirade. Targets include the media, the U.N., even President Obama, and he's doing it where else, on Twitter.
KOSIK: And a historic moment today in Hawaii. A visit by Japan's prime minister to the site of the attack on Pearl Harbor more than 75 years ago. We have a preview from Honolulu. Good morning and welcome back to EARLY START. I'm Alison Kosik.
JOHNS: And I'm Joe Johns. It is Tuesday, December 27th. It is 30 minutes past the hour and John and Christine are off. Despite the administration having less than a month to go on the job, Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to deliver a speech later this week outlining the Obama administration's vision for peace in the Middle East.
It comes as relations between the U.S. and Israel appear more strained than ever with Israeli officials claiming there is proof President Obama pushed for the U.N. resolution condemning settlements. Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, ordering a limit on all working ties with 12 nations which backed the U.N. vote. CNN's Oren Liebermann is following developments live in Jerusalem -- Oren.
OREN LIEBERMANN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Joe, a lot of different directions to the story so we'll start in the U.S. where Secretary of State Kerry said he will lay out his vision for peace. His idea on how to solve the most complex issues of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the next few days. That's something Israel is very much aware of and is not looking forward to, especially after the Security Council resolution where the U.S. abstention allowed it to go through.
Now to Israel where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has continued lashing out at the Obama administration unapologetically. He has said he gave "measured, responsible, and vigorous response" and he said that it will continue. We've seen it with some of the diplomatic steps here. Netanyahu has limited working ties with the embassies and ministers of the countries that voted for this resolution. It's largely a symbolic move. It has little practical effect but it is intended as a statement to show how angry Netanyahu is over this vote.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu and his government, both here and in the U.S., which is to say Israeli officials there still accusing the Obama administration of being behind this U.N. resolution. Here is Netanyahu spokesman David Keyes.
DAVID KEYES, SPOKESMAN FOR ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER: We have ironclad information from sources in the Arab world and internationally and we're going to share that information with the incoming administration through the proper channels. And if the new administration chooses to share that information, that's their prerogative. It should give it all pause that a terrorist organization like Hamas, which is calling for genocide of all Jews, is actually celebrating this decision, and they're celebrating it because it actually distances the chances of peace.
LIEBERMANN: We have pushed Israeli officials both here and there asking them what is this information? What is this evidence you have? So far, they haven't presented any answer to that question. Meanwhile, the Obama administration taking to the air both in the U.S. and in Israel to explain their position. Here is what Ben Rhodes had to say.
BEN RHODES, DEPUTY NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER: By definition, it's not an ambush when President Obama and Sec. Kerry have been saying in hundreds of conversations and in public comments that Israeli settlement activity was pushing into the West Bank in a way that was making the two-state solution unachievable.
LIEBERMANN: We knew the relations between Obama and Netanyahu were strained. We're seeing them rapidly fall apart in their final days as we see Netanyahu building what appears to be a fresh start -- a clean slate with President-elect Donald Trump -- Joe.
JOHNS: Thanks so much for that Oren Liebermann in Jerusalem.
KOSIK: OK. It's back to work today for the Trump transition team just 24 days now until he takes the oath of office. The president- elect spending the holiday at his Mar-a-Lago resort out of the public eye, oh, but not off Twitter. He couldn't resist responding to President Obama's big "if". The president telling "THE AXE FILES" podcast he could have beaten Trump, believing his message of hope and change would still resonate if a third term was allowed -- listen.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I am confident in this vision because I'm confident that if I -- if I had run again and articulated it, I think I could've mobilized a majority of the American people to rally behind it.
KOSIK: Oh, ho, but Trump's not buying it, tweeting this. "President Obama said that he thinks he would have won against me. He should say that but I say NO WAY! Jobs leaving, ISIS, OCare, etc." Let's talk more about this with "CNN POLITICS" reporter Eugene Scott and bring him in from D.C. Welcome back.
[05:35:00] EUGENE SCOTT, CNN POLITICS REPORTER: Thank you.
KOSIK: Thanks for coming on so early. You know, with President Obama saying this on this -- on this show, it seems very confident, almost like a jab to Hillary Clinton, and interesting if you look at this statement one more time. He said if I would've articulated it.
SCOTT: Well, I think the president is so confident in his ability to rally voters that Hillary Clinton was not able to is because Obama was able to do that in '08 and in 2012. I do think that the president did not address the fact that there are many people who voted for him who actually voted for Donald Trump this time or, at the very least, have not been pleased with his presidency. So whether or not he could have convinced them to get behind him a third time, who knows?
JOHNS: What does Donald Trump get out of going into a Twitter war now talking about President Obama given, as you mention, President Obama's high approval ratings? Why even go there? Why not stay on the transition and the future?
SCOTT: Social media has just been a key piece of Donald Trump's success in leading him to the White House and I imagine that he wants to continue using it. He's called it effective and at least getting his message to supporters and even the media, and whether or not he will shift it's not clear. I can't imagine that that is something that he is eager to do considering how effective it's been so far for him.
JOHNS: Very hard for him to resist, quite frankly. Eugene, stay with us. Trump also taking a Twitter aim at the U.N. in the wake of the anti-Israel resolution. "The United Nations has such great potential but right now, it's just a club for people to get together, talk, and have a good time. So sad!"
And there's more. Trump also taking credit for the busy holiday shopping season. "The world was gloomy before I won. There was no hope. Now, the market is up nearly 10 percent and Christmas spending is over a trillion dollars." No sourcing for that trillion-dollar number. The National Retail Federation projects spending closer to $655 billion. A good year but not in line with Trump's tweet.
KOSIK: OK. Finally, Trump defending his charitable foundation days after announcing plans to dissolve it to avoid the impression of any conflict of interest saying, "I gave millions of dollars to DJT Foundation, raised or received millions more, ALL of which is given to charity, and media won't report!" Trump, it's worth noting, hasn't donated to the foundation since 2008. That's at least according to the foundation's own tax records.
And there is this non-tweeted developed. Trump aide Stephen Miller -- he's going to write the inaugural speech. He wrote many during the campaign and we're told the address will be similar to Trump's stump and thank-you speeches with themes including the economy, outsourcing, border security, and the military.
Let's go ahead and bring in Eugene Scott. Eugene, I do want to just touch on the foundation because this has really been in the news for a couple of days and what,I think, the Trump team thought was an easy way to show that he was separating himself from one area where there'd be a conflict of interest. It's really turning into an issue with him, isn't it?
SCOTT: It has turned into an issue because it's been an issue for a while. As you know, the foundation has been under investigation from the New York State attorney general's office for some months now and this story seems to continue on concerns regarding conflicts of interest that we saw last week with Donald Trump's son, Eric's, foundation.
Whether or not he will continue to be as concerned about conflict of interest as his critics will hope he will be remains to be seen. This is a just a step, they would say, in moving in a direction that removes himself from organizations and businesses and groups that could be problematic once he enters the White House, such as the Trump Organization.
JOHNS: Eugene, is there any consensus on whether -- what this foundation was actually a charity? Are we certain it was a charity or was there just a lot more self-dealing going on there, so you couldn't call it that?
SCOTT: Well, that is what the investigation is hoping to reveal. There definitely have been some concerns about where the money was going and if it was as philanthropic as the president-elect suggests that it has been. But whether or not it was a front it's not clear, and there's been nothing that's been conclusive or a consensus to support that. But we do believe that this investigation will give us more answers to those questions.
KOSIK: -- and giving your perspective.
KOSIK: All right, time for an early start on your money. The inauguration coming up in just a few short weeks but the cabinet confirmation process still has a long road ahead. So far, the president-elect nominees, they include five billionaires, six multi- millionaires. This, according to "The Wall Street Journal's" calculations.
[05:40:00] Bernie Sanders certainly speaking out about this on Twitter saying, "Donald Trump, the anti-establishment Republican, is building a cabinet worth at least $13 billion. The hypocrisy astounds me." Well, one thing Trump said, by the way, is that he doesn't want to hire people who weren't successful. You want successful people in your cabinet.
KOSIK: The wealthy nominees, though, they've got a lot to do. They've got to get their books in order before Senate hearings. They've got to sift through their vast holdings and this could be a really slow process. So to get through this lengthy application, aside from divesting, nominees also have to list all the organizations that they've been affiliated with since 18 years old. They've got to list the names of clients who could pose conflicts of interests and they've got to list all their real estate holdings as well.
And while it's unlikely the process will change the outcome of the nominations it's certainly going to take a lot of time and that could slow Trump's agenda.
JOHNS: I would not like to have to jump through all those hoops, I've got to tell you.
KOSIK: But I'd like to be the lawyers having to sift through all that.
KOSIK: They make lots of money.
JOHNS: Absolutely. Well, you know, if you have a lot of money -- that's it. Violent scenes breaking out at malls across America. What sparked the chaos that played out in nearly a dozen states? More, next.
KOSIK: A day of remembrance and reconciliation with President Obama and Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe set to visit Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona memorial together. Prime Minister Abe arriving in Hawaii Monday for other ceremonial events. Among them, a visit to Makiki Cemetery where he laid wreaths to commemorate those killed in the Pearl Harbor attack.
[05:45:14] But today, he'll -- will mark the first formal trip by a Japanese leader to the site of the Japanese air attack that killed more than 2,400 Americans and drew the U.S. into World War II 75 years ago. Let's get more now from CNN's Athena Jones in Honolulu.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) ATHENA JONES, CNN CORRESPONDENT: This visit by Prime Minister Abe coming seven months after President Obama made a historic trip to Hiroshima. He became the first sitting U.S. president to pay his respects to the tens of thousands of people who lost their lives and now, Prime Minister Abe will be doing the same at Pearl Harbor.
The White House says that these two visits which are serving as bookends to one another, highlight the power of reconciliation. The ability for these former adversaries to, over these many years, become the closest of allies. President Obama made the point in Hiroshima that 75 years ago in the immediate aftermath of Pearl Harbor, the close friendship and alliance between these two countries could never have been imagined.
Now, as for what's on the agenda, we expect the two leaders to have a formal sit-down -- what the White House calls a bilateral meeting. After that they will be visiting the USS Arizona memorial itself to visit and pay their respects to those 900 soldiers who remain entombed in that watery grave.
After that visit we'll hear from both President Obama and Prime Minister Abe and we expect Prime Minister Abe's remarks to echo, in some ways, the message that President Obama delivered in Hiroshima. Before coming here, Prime Minister Abe said that "This visit will be a visit to soothe the souls of the victims. We should never repeat the ravages of war." So that is one of themes we expect the Prime Minister to touch on in his remarks here.
And there are certainly some people here in Hawaii who are very much looking forward to this visit by Prime Minister Abe. I spoke to a 95- year-old witness to the Pearl Harbor attacks who told me that Prime Minster Abe's visit is the greatest thing in the world and that it will be a culmination of the healing between the two countries. Back to you, Joe and Alison.
KOSIK: All right. Athena Jones, thanks very much.
JOHNS: Violence erupting at several malls across the nation just one day after Christmas. (Video playing) Take a look at this video out of Manchester, Connecticut. You can hear people screaming, punches being thrown inside the shops at Buckland Hills. A large chase then ensued, one officer assaulted.
A mall in Fort Worth, Texas put on lockdown following a massive fight involving over 100 middle school and high school students near the food court. Officers had to go store-to-store to let people out once the lockdown was lifted. In Aurora, Illinois this is the start of what evolved into a brawl at Fox Valley Mall. Teenagers had to sprint down the stairs after the fight broke out. It forced the mall to close for the day.
KOSIK: OK. More fantastic holiday spirit happening at Beachwood Place Mall, this one in Ohio. The mall put on lockdown following unfounded reports of an active shooter. Police say it all began after a fight broke out among teenagers in the food court. And just more of this panic at Hamilton Place Mall. This one happening in Chattanooga, Tennessee after police say teenagers set off fireworks. The shoppers mistook the sound for gunshots. Scary moments there. Several shoppers were hurt as they ran out.
And the Aurora Town Mall in Colorado, that was closed and evacuated after several fights erupted out -- erupted inside the mall involving at least 500 people, and police say it all began with a social media post promising a fight.
JOHNS: A bloody holiday weekend in Chicago, at least a dozen people shot dead. Authorities say it appears the majority of the shooting were targeted attacks by gang members against potential rivals who were at holiday gatherings. The city's police chief saying it's time to lay down the law.
EDDIE JOHNSON, SUPERINTENDENT, CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT: I just don't believe that we hold repeat gun offenders accountable for their actions. I just don't. You know, they think that the justice system in Cook County is a joke, you know, and until we change the mental narrative of individuals to make them not want to pick up a gun, we're going to continue to see this cycle.
JOHNS: Chicago police say there were at least 27 shooting incidents all over the Christmas weekend.
KOSIK: Authorities in Tennessee are looking for the last remaining prisoner following a Christmas Day escape from the Cocke County jail. Suspect David Frazier, along with five other inmates, fled from the facility through a hole they discovered in the wall which led them outside. Apparently, the hole was behind a toilet. The men even managed to move the toilet back to conceal their escape. The other five are now back in custody. That is so strange.
KOSIK: The Dow has been pushing closer to 20,000. The question is -- the question we've been asking for a couple of weeks now -- is today finally the day the Dow will get to 20,000? We'll get a check on all of that on CNN Money, next.
JOHNS: The tributes are pouring in for the late pop icon George Michael, who died on Christmas Day in England. The singer is believed to have died from heart failure. Fans have been visiting Michael's home, leaving flowers and letters, and paying their respects. Two of the most important people in the music star's life are now also speaking up. CNN's Phil Black live in London now -- Phil.
PHIL BLACK, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Joe, after such an incredible emotional outpouring from many fans and many of his contemporaries -- fellow performers. We're now receiving statements from some of the people who knew George Michael best, including the man who was with him on the day he died. His partner Fadi Fawaz tweeted overnight, in which he said this. He said, "It's a Christmas I will never forget. Finding your partner dead, peacefully in bed, first thing in the morning. I will never stop missing you."
Now, they were together for a few years but before that George Michael was in a long-term relationship, more than 30 years or so, with American Kenny Goss. He's also released a statement talking about his heartbreak at having lost such a longtime love and a dear friend. In his statement he says this. He says, "He was a major part of my life and I loved him very, very much. He was an extremely kind and generous man. The beautiful memories and music he brought to the world will always be an important part of my life and those who also loved and admired him."
Now, here at the singer's home in North London, you can see behind me people are still coming. We've seen this morning laying flowers, messages, candles. Some people just weeping openly. Their grief is really -- well, it's pretty extraordinary. They're all here because George Michael meant so very much to them. They all want to know why he died at such a young age. We don't have an answer to that question yet. That's expected to come when authorities announce the results of a post-mortem examination.
[05:55:25] And a lot of people here are also very keen to know when they will get to, I guess, remember and celebrate the man at a funeral service or perhaps some other larger public memorial concert or event or that sort of thing. We don't have those details either but we can be pretty sure, I think, that it is going to be a large, emotional, and very well-attended event, Joe.
JOHNS: Phil Black in London. Thank you for that. Russia's Defense Ministry says divers have found the black box data recorder from a Russian military jet that crashed into the Black Sea on Sunday. The plane's cockpit voice recorder is still missing. Strong currents and deep water have complicated the search. Authorities say large pieces of the wreckage have been found in the water. The plane was carrying 92 people when it went down on Sunday en route from Sochi to western Syria. The passengers included more than 60 members of Russia's famed Red Army Choir.
KOSIK: All right, let's get an early start on your money. U.S. stock markets are reopening today. The big question remaining, does the Dow still have a chance to hit 20,000 before the year is up? Well, there's not much significance to that nice round number of 20,000 other than it would be an impressive way for stocks to finish up the year.
I'm not holding my breath it's going to happen because the week between Christmas and New Year's tends to be really quiet and tax planning could also be making it more difficult to hit that 20,000 mark before the end of the year. Meantime, stock markets in Europe and Asia are higher. Seeing Dow futures up as well.
Since the global financial crisis the world's biggest banks have agreed to pay close to $60 billion in fines to the U.S. Department of Justice for creating and selling toxic mortgage-backed investments. The latest banks to join that list are Germany's Deutsche Bank and Switzerland's Credit Suisse. The multi-billion-dollar settlements are worth a combined $12.5 billion. A majority of the money will go directly towards programs to help -- that are designed to help homeowners and borrowers. Next could be British bank, Barclays, says the Department of Justice.
OK. Trump's trigger-happy Twitter fingers are causing trouble for American businesses. After he tweeted a threat earlier this month to break Boeing's Air Force One contract with the government, Boeing shares, they dipped. Then, when Trump said he might tap Boeing to replace Lockheed Martin in a deal with the Pentagon, Lockheed stock fell.
Now, though Trump has been a big boon for the market at large -- we've certainly seen the Dow rise over 1,000 points since the day after Election Day -- when he tweets about those single companies, it's got those companies worried about what his Twitter wrath is going to mean in the new year. But maybe that shouldn't worry so much. The stocks of 10 U.S. companies that Donald Trump took jabs at during the campaign and after rose on average nine percent the month after Election Day.
So the lesson here is if he says anything on Twitter, watch the stock make some sort of move and then probably recover.
JOHNS: Trigger-happy Twitter fingers. Say that 10 times fast.
KOSIK: Not at this hour of the morning.
KOSIK: Thanks for joining us on EARLY START. I'm Alison Kosik.
JOHNS: And I'm Joe Johns. President-elect Donald Trump's latest Twitter tirade leaving no stone unturned. Much more on "NEW DAY" starting right now. I'm not going to say that 10 times fast, either.
JOHNS: Donald Trump unleashing on Twitter, going after President Obama.
OBAMA: If a year from now there is an issue, I might weigh in.
KOSIK: He couldn't resist responding to President Obama's big "if".
OBAMA: I'm confident that if I had run again I could've mobilized the American people.
RHODES: Israeli settlement activity was making the two-state solution unachievable. KEYES: We have ironclad information this was drafted by the Obama administration. We feel compelled to speak up.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER: Friends don't take friends to the Security Council.
JOHNS: Violence erupting at several malls.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She is dragging her by her hair.
POPPY HARLOW, CNN HOST: You ready for this? It's time for the show.
DON LEMON, CNN HOST: Is it time?
HARLOW: It's time. We're live.
LEMON: Oh my God, it's 5:59:29, 30.
HARLOW: Twenty-nine. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to your new day. It's 6:00 in the East. I'm Poppy Harlow. The one and only Don Lemon is with me.
HARLOW: Good to be with you.
HARLOW: We make it all right. You want to be honest and say I'm regularly?
LEMON: It's going to be -- it's good to wake up to Poppy Harlow.
HARLOW: Thank you, my friend. I appreciate that.
LEMON: Thanks everyone for joining us.
HARLOW: Chris and Alisyn are off on vacation and up first, we begin with President-elect Donald Trump sparring with President Obama. Trump saying there is no way that Obama would have defeated him if the president could have run for a third term.
LEMON: And Donald Trump, of course, firing back in a series of tweets to comments that the president made in a new interview we first shared with you yesterday.

The subject of this image is a photograph of my friend Julia lying on a rock on a beach. I chose to create this image because I wanted to use the "pin up girl" style that Jacques Lartigue used frequently in his photographs. The elements of art that I used were texture and value. The principles of design that I used were contrast and pattern. The composition rules/ techniques that I used was formal balance. My project evolved because when I taking the photographs my camera wasn't working because of the cold weather, so I had to start taking photos inside my house which didn't turn out as well as on the beach. I chose to create this image because I liked the composition of the image and the texture created by the lace of the dress. The meaning behind this photo is to reflect on life's experiences of enjoy everything. This image relates to my life because it is a photograph of one of my best friends and it is in portrait style, which is the kind of artwork I like to create. If I could change anything I would add more contrast in values into the image.

Contractor may have to remove deck with a view
A deck overlooking Rhododendron Lake Nature Park may have to be removed because it's too close to the property line, Laurel Park officials say.
By Bill Moss, Published: April 28, 2020
LAUREL PARK — An apartment building owner may be forced to remove a deck overlooking Rhododendron Lake Nature Park because the structure violates Laurel Park's zoning rules.

Cabot Young, a contractor who is renovating the Lakeshore Apartments at 16 Lake Drive, acknowledged in an interview that the deck is out of compliance.
"I built that deck not knowing really that I shouldn't build it there," he said. "I've been doing everything thing I can to get that (apartment) building repaired and looking well. If I move the deck I just have to build a fence around it. It doesn't make any sense to remove the deck. I'm from Maryville, Tennessee. We built decks wherever we wanted basically."
The Laurel Park Town Council discussed the zoning violation at a work session earlier this month and directed Town Manager Christopher Todd to hire a surveyor to get precise numbers on the deck and property line. The deck, which Young put up without obtaining a building permit, is near the property line. Under the town's zoning code, it should be set back 25 feet from the boundary.
"Because it's a setback we have limited ability to do an easement," Todd said. "We either sell them the land or they're not going to have enough room. It's not a hardship and it's likely a variance would not be granted."
Council member Paul Hansen asked whether the town could just "look the other way."
"The best answer I can give you is we became aware of an ordinance violation and we should proceed on it appropriately," Todd said. "Likely the whole thing" has to go. "In my opinion, the deck itself could not exist in any shape, form or fashion."
The town's options seemed to come down to either selling Young the land to come into compliance with the 25-foot setback requirement or ordering the deck removed. If the town sold the land, it would then have a private citizen owning a small piece of a public park, including the walking path. The town would need to negotiate a right-of-way agreement to preserve public use of the walking trail.
Council members opposed selling park land to allow the zoning compliance.
"I think we have to write a nice letter and say unfortunately you have to take the deck out," Hansen said.

Q: Qt How to draw a parallel double line bezier curve in QML I am trying to draw a parallel double line Bezier curve in QML as below, how may I do so?
parallel double line curve

A: I think you can just draw two curves with this API with a slight shift. There is not anything specific about "double curves" other than drawing two curves with a shift.
ctx.strokeStyle = Qt.rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
ctx.lineWidth = 1;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(20, 0);//start point
ctx.bezierCurveTo(-10, 90, 210, 90, 180, 0);
ctx.stroke();

You will need to sort out the specifics, (cp1x, cp1y) and (cp2x, cp2y), to have the shape you want, but this seems to be the way to draw Bézier curves.

The Artist as Prophet by Christa Mazzone Palmberg
Monday, August 6th, 2018 Monday, August 6th, 2018 Arts Corps
When I arrived in Seattle fresh out of graduate school and started interviewing for nonprofit jobs, many people were confused. Why would a person with a Master of Divinity degree- who studied the Bible and theology and Hebrew- be interested in jobs related to social justice? How would my religious training in any way prepare me for leadership in the nonprofit world? More specific to my interest in working at Arts Corps- what is the relationship between social justice, faith, and the arts?
In some ways, these are fair questions. Many Christians in this country have either completely separated their personal faith from public life, seeing no connection between the two, or their faith has been co-opted by the Religious Right; their identity as Christians has become more influenced by cultural conservatism than by theological beliefs. (For a poignant reflection on this new brand of "Fox Evangelicalism," read this NYT opinion piece.)
But while I understand how someone might question the relationship between social justice, faith, and the arts, to me it is clear. The role of the artist and the role of the prophet is one and the same- a critic of injustice and a harbinger of hope. In his classic book, The Prophetic Imagination, biblical scholar Walter Brueggemann writes that the tactics of the prophet include both "criticizing" and "energizing". The prophet is called to publicly critique societal structures that dehumanize while also providing an energizing message that envisions a new reality grounded in love and justice. According to Brueggemann, prophets help us make connections between the world as it is and the world as it should be.
Arts Corps teaching artist, Kalei
Singer Nina Simone once said, "An artist's duty, as far as I'm concerned, is to reflect the times." Art can penetrate our indifference and move us to empathy and action in a way that news articles and lectures simply can't. Without literature, poetry and painting, how would we cultivate the imagination necessary to envision a better world? Without music and dance, where would we find the strength and joy to keep going when our souls get weary?
James Baldwin took it further and said that the role of the artist is to disturb the peace. This was definitely true of the biblical prophets. Jeremiah, a prophet in the Hebrew Bible, called out false prophets for claiming, "'Peace, peace', when there is no peace." Jeremiah could not stand idly by while the religious leaders of his day condoned the injustices of his people and told them everything would be alright; that there would be no consequences for their behavior.
Dancers from OTS Arts Manager, Cheryl Delostrinos' class
The prophetic role of the artist has never been so apparent to me as it was on a hot Saturday evening in July at Arts Corps' community fundraiser, Art & Sol. Much of the art on display provided a fierce critique of some of the issues our nation faces- from our deepening epidemic of gun violence to the continual targeting of young black men by our police. At the same time, the beauty, joy, and hope elicited by the artists was truly inspiring (and brought tears to my eyes).
The program began with a powerful performance by young dancers under the direction of Arts Corps' OST Arts Manager and co-founder of the AU Collective, Cheryl Delostrinos. The grace, strength, and flexibility of these beautiful young women awed all who were present. Dancing to a contemporary pop song, these young artists inspired audible oohs and aahs with the movement of their bodies.
Next up was Arts Corps alumna and outgoing board member, Carlynn Newhouse, who performed her poem, "The Sky is Falling." Riffing off the folk character, Chicken Little, Carlynn gave a stinging critique of our nation's historical and ongoing injustices, as well as a beautiful exhortation not to despair because, "What is the end of something if not the beginning?"
Midway through the program, master veteran teaching artist and Arts Corps' Director of Creative Youth Development, Eduardo Mendonça, donned his guitar and contagious smile and provided us with a delightful reminder of our shared humanity and the universal language of music. His song, "O Pato", ("Oh duck" in English), had audience members literally quacking in their seats.
Director of Creative Youth Development, Eduardo Mendonça
Among the many other powerful works of art that left an impression on me that evening was a painting by Arts Corps teaching artist, Lester Pearson. Imbued with vivid color, the painting depicted two Black women radiating light and happiness. In a culture that too often dehumanizes women of color and portrays them only through caricatures and stereotypes, this piece conveyed their natural beauty and everyday joy; an honest and refreshing reflection of the world as it is.
The evening included too many notable works of art to describe them all in detail here, but I would be remiss not to mention the final performance of the evening by Kalei, an Arts Corps teaching artist who brings Hula Mai 'Oe to Hazel Valley Elementary students. From the rapid movement of her hips to her gorgeous red attire to the interactive way she invited us into her culture, Kalei's performance was stunning. It reminded me of the words of the late rabbi and civil rights activist, Abraham Heschel, who said, "Awareness of the Divine begins with wonder." For Heschel, awe, wonder and radical amazement are the keys to authentic spirituality. All three were elicited in me last Saturday evening. I suspect all three were elicited in everyone who attended Art & Sol.

• TIME.com: What is the fighting about?
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The usually bustling Baghdad was eerily quiet most of Friday with shops closed and streets deserted as authorities enforced a daytime vehicular curfew.
With fears of full-blown civil war gripping Iraq, the capital was sealed off, cars were prohibited from entering, and all but the most official vehicles banned from traveling between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Iraqi soldiers and police used the daytime curfew to try to prevent sectarian attacks against mosques and worshippers on the weekly Muslim holy day.
The curfew ended at 4 p.m. amid heavy security and will go into effect again starting at 8 p.m. It is unknown whether the vehicle ban will be enforced Saturday.
The move to clamp down on violence comes as gunmen attacked two brick factories east of the capital Thursday night, killing at least 19 workers, and also targeted a power station in Nahrawan, a mostly Shiite area 16 miles (25 kilometers) east of Baghdad, authorities said. At the power station, the gunmen wounded two guards and knocked out electricity in the city, a police official said.
At least 500 people have died in sectarian violence since the February 22 bombing of Al-Askariya Mosque, also known as the Golden Mosque, the revered Shiite shrine in Samarra north of the capital.
At a Pentagon briefing Friday, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. George W. Casey, said Iraqi security forces responded well to the sectarian strife, "moving to full alert and to securing key sites."
But Casey said the government must deal urgently with the problem of militias, namely the Mehdi Army of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.
The military thinks militias "were primarily responsible for the attacks against the mosques in the Baghdad area," he said. "And we continue to follow up on the information that we have on these with the Iraqi security forces."
The death toll and mosque bombing figures cited by Casey were lower than those tallied by Iraqi officials. The military confirmed about 30 mosque attacks and about 350 civilian deaths, according to Casey. Besides citing at least 150 more deaths than the Americans, local officials also report more than 100 mosque attacks.
Even so, Casey said, the number of deaths is "unacceptable and something that we and the Iraqi transitional government and security forces continue to work hard to prevent."
Casey's briefing -- a task usually handled by other commanders -- signaled the magnitude of recent events. Casey said he hadn't made up his mind when pressed about how the violence might affect U.S. troop levels, now around 136,000.
"It's been a difficult few days" but "now it appears that the crisis has passed," he said.
The nomination of Ibrahim al-Jaafari, a Shiite, to remain prime minister in Iraq's new government remains under fire.
Kurdish, Sunni and secular politicians want the Shiite-led United Iraqi Alliance, which won the December 15 parliamentary election, to reconsider its choice of al-Jaafari, citing what they say is his poor performance. His tenure over the last year has been marked by a potent Sunni-led insurgency, Interior Ministry actions against Sunnis, economic problems and spotty essential services.
If the Shiite-led coalition, which has been running the country with the Kurdish alliance, fails to pick a new nominee and sticks with al-Jaafari, several parties say they may form a new coalition to challenge the United Iraqi Alliance. They are waiting to hear from the leader of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, on the matter.
His nominee, Adel Abdul Mehdi, lost to Al-Jaafari, leader of the Dawa Party, by one vote.
Iraq's parliament, known as the Council of Representatives, must hold its first session on March 12. Mahmoud Othman, a Kurdish member of the 275-member body, said Friday it is planning to meet that deadline.
Palestinian refugees living in Iraq are in a "very precarious position," the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees warned Friday.
The U.N. refugee agency said it has received reports within the last week that up to 10 Palestinians have been killed and several kidnapped.
"[Baghdad's] Palestinian neighborhood of Baladeyat was the scene of much violence recently until U.S. military forces intervened," the agency said in a news release.
As a result of the violence, many Palestinian families are relocating to Gaza, Syria and Jordan, the agency noted.
Some Iraqis "consider the Palestinians, Sunni Muslims, as enemies -- although they are not involved in internal strife," said the agency, adding that Saddam Hussein's former regime provided them "protection and assistance."
The Iraqi government estimates that at least 34,000 Palestinians have come to Iraq in three waves since 1948 and that about 23,000 were registered in Baghdad after the U.S.-led war started in 2003.
CNN's Aneesh Raman and Mohammed Tawfeeq contributed to this report.


I'm sorry to belabor this kind of, but I find it hard to convince people with this truth. My absolute recommendation is to start getting your different carpet cleaned 6 to 12 months after it's installed, and also to keep doing that regularly. How do you find a good cleaner (if you don't happen to live in Moses Lake or the Tri-Cities, CALIFORNIA! )? Well, first of all, I will be not going to bore you with different methods of cleaning that the advantages use. I personally use a truck-mounted hot water extraction system (steam cleaning) that I love. I use hundreds of clients that love it. There's also a shampooing method which in turn some cleaners still make use of. Bonnet cleaning, which uses low moisture, is common which is sometimes called dry maintenance. What I have observed is the fact there are operators using these methods with very pleased clients, and other operators employing these same methods that obtain lots of complaints and have trouble. The equipment used is only a percentage of the equation; the various other and perhaps bigger part certainly is the person operating the equipment. So that didn't answer your issue, did it?

Q: How does a symbol table relate to a namespace? The official tutorial uses the term symbol table in a few places where I would expect the term namespace.
1. Defining functions

The execution of a function introduces a new symbol table used for the
  local variables of the function. More precisely, all variable
  assignments in a function store the value in the local symbol table;
  whereas variable references first look in the local symbol table, then
  in the local symbol tables of enclosing functions, then in the global
  symbol table, and finally in the table of built-in names.

2. More on modules

Each module has its own private symbol table, which is used as the
  global symbol table by all functions defined in the module. Thus, the
  author of a module can use global variables in the module without
  worrying about accidental clashes with a user's global variables.

I found Eli Bendersky's blog where he quotes the symtable module:

Symbol tables are generated by the compiler from AST just before
  bytecode is generated. The symbol table is responsible for calculating
  the scope of every identifier in the code.

So it seems like a symbol table precedes a namespace. Yet another quote, from the first source, leads me to believe they also exist at the same time.

The actual parameters (arguments) to a function call are introduced in
  the local symbol table of the called function when it is called; thus,
  arguments are passed using call by value (where the value is always an
  object reference, not the value of the object).1

Is a symbol table involved with the creation of a namespace? Does a symbol table "contain" a namespace or simply information that a namespace contains?
In short,
how does a symbol table relate to a namespace?

A: A symbol table is an implementation detail. Namespaces are implemented using symbol tables, but symbol tables are used for more than just namespaces. For example, functions have their own symbol table for local variables, but those variables do not exist in any namespace (that is, it is impossible to somehow access the local variables of a function using a fully-qualified name).

A: The symbol table means the same thing as for any compiler, that is, a data structure containing identifiers of a source code.
Modules, classes and functions constitute blocks of code having their own symbol table, in Python.
The term namespace is used in place of symbol table in Python doc of class SymbolTable, an instance of which gives access to the symbol table of a block of code as built by the specific interpreter you are using.
Hence, namespace and symbol table, in Python, relate to the same thing. The former is the symbol table as exposed to the developer, and the latter is the symbol table itself.
See the parallel between those two quotes taken from the Python doc:
"The local namespace for a function is created when the function is called"
"The execution of a function introduces a new symbol table used for the local variables of the function"

3 FTSE 100 dividend stocks with yields over 5% I'd buy in September
Roland Head | Wednesday, 28th August, 2019 | More on: DLG RDSB SMDS
The recent market sell-off made headlines. But it's worth keeping this in perspective. Despite the recent volatility, the FTSE 100 is actually up by about 6% so far this year.
When you add in the FTSE's current dividend yield of 4.6%, index-tracking investors look set to enjoy a 10%+ return this year.
Of course, the market may go up or down this autumn. My approach is to ignore this short-term noise and focus on buying good quality dividend stocks at reasonable prices.
Today, I'm going to look at three FTSE stocks I own with dividend yields of more than 5%.
This £183bn firm looks cheap to me
Royal Dutch Shell (LSE: RDSB) needs no introduction. The oil and gas supermajor is the biggest company on the FTSE 100. It's responsible for a fair chunk of the index's 4.6% dividend yield.
However, if you buy the stock direct, you should get to enjoy a 6.6% dividend yield this year. Dividends are never guaranteed, but Shell's payout hasn't been cut since World War II. I wouldn't worry about a cut.
Two things investors are worried about are the falling price of oil and the environmental risks of burning oil. Shell is slowly pivoting towards gas to try to address these risks and secure its long-term future.
Rightly or wrongly, I think the world will be burning a lot of oil-based fuels for many years to come. In my view, the risks are reflected in the Shell share price. Trading on 11 times earnings with that chunky 6.6% yield, I rate the shares as an income buy.
We don't know how good our car insurance companies are until we need to make a claim. But one company that's been around a while and developed a strong brand is Direct Line Insurance Group (LSE: DLG).
I like the group's solid profitability and good cash generation. However, this sector is out of favour with investors at the moment, as profits are under pressure from rising claims costs. Tough competition means that putting up prices is difficult.
The Direct Line share price has fallen by 12% over the last year, pushing the stock's ordinary dividend yield to 7.3%. Analysts' forecasts suggest an optional special dividend will be paid too, lifting the total yield to 9.5%.
I'm not sure about this, but I see the firm as a long-term survivor. In my view, the shares offer good value for long-term income investors at current levels. I may buy more for my portfolio.
New growth opportunity?
Cardboard packaging isn't glamorous. But it is essential. The business is growing too. Bosses at DS Smith (LSE: SMDS) recently reported "double-digit growth" in sales of e-commerce packaging.
The firm also believes that new cardboard products could soon replace a lot of the plastic packaging found in supermarkets, as retailers try to reduce non-recyclable waste. Company bosses reckon that 1.5m tonnes of plastic in supermarkets could readily be replaced by Smith's cardboard products.
One risk for shareholders is that an economic slowdown could dent demand for packaging materials, as shoppers buy less.
So far, there doesn't seem to be any evidence of this. And with the shares trading on just 9 times forecast earnings, I think the DS Smith share price already reflects a cautious outlook. I've added this 5.3% yield to my portfolio and remain a long-term buyer.
