Trump Tired  and out of step at G-7 Summit May 28, 2017 Huffintonpost  By Mary Papenfuss Whether because he was exhausted or trying to underscore the distance between himself and other world leaders, President  Donald Trump  chose to use his favorite vehicle — a golf cart — rather than walk with the rest of the G7 leaders in Taormina, Sicily, on the final day of his international tour. After first making the leaders of Britain, Canada, France, Italy, Germany and Japan wait for a group photo Saturday in the hilltop town,  according to The Times of London,  Trump moved front and center for the picture. The rest of the group then wound their way about a quarter of a mile to a piazza past small crowds and media. Trump, however, reportedly waited for the  electric cart to deliver him to the site . He finally disembarked to join the other leaders for the final walk to the G7 summit venue in a former monastery, now the San Domenico hotel, The Times reported. more

Friday, May 19, 2017 Water everywhere in Jamaica MOTORISTS are being advised to exercise care when travelling on the island's road network, especially during this period of inclement weather.The warning is coming from Kenute Hare, director of the Road Safety Unit in the Ministry of Transport and Mining. He said motorists should not engage in any risky behaviour which would jeopardise their safety. “Avoid all fords... it's better to take the long way home and reach home safely than not to reach home at all. Do not try to test the waters, you will lose; respect it. The water will push you and your vehicle off the road,” he said to  Jamaica Observer's Auto  magazine yesterday. “You don't want water on your bonnet or even up to your windows. That's dangerous! The electronics in your vehicle may go dead and you may lose control of it.” Hare said he has had several reports of vehicles being washed away and damaged. “Thankfully, we haven't heard of any

BY HORACE HINES Observer staff reporter hinesh@jamaicaobserver.com  Friday, May 19, 2017 FALMOUTH, Trelawny — Most people in this parish knew Hyacinthia Wright as “a nice woman”. So when news spread Wednesday that she was brutally killed people were in shock. “Mi can't believe it,” said one woman standing among a crowd yesterday outside the building at 2 Trelawny Street, Falmouth, where the 72-year-old widow of the town's former mayor, Joseph Wright, operated a hardware and craft retail business. “Wickedness tun up,” said a man. The slain woman's son, Claude Hines, was too overcome with grief to speak to the media.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is taking the unusual step of hunting for evidence of crimes committed by Haitian immigrants as it decides whether to allow them to continue participating in a humanitarian program that has shielded tens of thousands from deportation since an earthquake destroyed much of their country. The inquiries into the community’s criminal history were made in internal U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services emails obtained by The Associated Press. They show the agency’s newly appointed policy chief also wanted to know how many of the roughly 50,000 Haitians enrolled in the Temporary Protected Status program were taking advantage of public benefits, which they are not eligible to receive.  The emails don’t make clear if Haitian misdeeds will be used to determine whether they can remain in the United States. The program is intended to help people from places beset by war or disasters and, normally, the decision to extend it depends on whether con

By Matt Fuller 5/4/17 WASHINGTON ― After years of promises and months of delays, House Republicans passed their version of an Obamacare repeal and replacement Thursday, muscling the far-right legislation through their chamber by feverishly pressuring moderates in the closing days. Republicans passed the bill 217-213, with 20 Republicans voting “no” and not a single Democrat voting in support. But what seems like a victory for House Republicans may ultimately  be their downfall . Democrats were of two minds about Republicans advancing the bill, which would gut some of Obamacare’s most popular provisions (including protections for people with pre-existing conditions as well as the Medicaid expansion). On one hand, Democrats desperately wanted to protect President  Barack Obama ’s signature law. On the other hand, Democrats believe ― perhaps correctly ― that this extremely conservative bill can’t pass the Senate, and that House Republicans may have just hung a profound

USA Today 5/2/17 Talk about packing it all into one video message. Janet Jackson managed to discuss the resumption of her concert tour, confirmed her marital split, talked about the birth of her child and pointed out to fans that she'd gained weight in a rambling 87-second video posted on Twitter Monday night.  Janet Jackson  A reclining Jackson, wearing a white top and ball cap as she lounged on white sheets, started off by reintroducing herself to fans, "Just in case you don't recognize me because I have put on quite a few since I had the baby." When a voice off camera, possibly her brother Randy Jackson, added "more than a few" to the weight comment, Janet snapped back, "Can you please be quiet, Randy? Nobody is talking to you. Thank you."  “Hey you guys,” she began. “It’s me, Jan, just in case you don’t recognize me since I have put on a few since I had the baby.” In the background, her brother Randy, interjected: “More than a fe
