Remarks from Donald Trumps 100 days in Office Interview

President Trump dismissed the idea that he hasn't had legislative success in his first 100 days in office, claiming 28 bills have been passed.

Despite noted setbacks, including his failure to replace Obamacare, the President said he doesn't think 'anybody' has accomplished what his administration has in 100 days, while simultaneously calling the milestone a 'false standard.' Although there has been no major legislation passed, Trump told Fox News's Martha MacCallum in an exclusive interview: 'First of all, we had 28 bills.'

The 28 laws, which don't include the myriad executive orders he has signed, include two that name Veterans Affairs clinics in honor of people, 13 that repeal Obama-era rules and five related to personnel matters, including a waiver that allowed James Mattis to become Defense Secretary.

During the interview, President Trump touted bonding with Chinese President Xi Jinping to help with North Korea, saying he hopes he can 'pull it off' when it comes to reigning in Kim Jong Un, who test-launched another ballistic missile, which reportedly broke up mid-flight and failed.

Obesity: Causes, Effects and Dangers to Health

Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative effect on health. Obesity increases the likelihood of various diseases, particularly heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, certain types of cancer, and osteoarthritis.

Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive food intake, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility. A few cases are caused primarily by genes, endocrine disorders, medications, or mental illness. Evidence to support the view that obese people eat little yet gain weight due to a slow metabolism is not generally supported. On average, obese people have a greater energy expenditure than their thin counterparts due to the energy required to maintain an increased body mass.

Psalm 27:1 – 3  “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?  When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.  Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.”

Psalm 34:17-18
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Psalm 91:15
He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

Psalm 9:9-10
The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Bloodiest And Most Violent Protests/Riots In History

Protests are eminent when differing views exists either between ethnic groups, the citizens and government, student bodies and as a result of so many other vices. Often times peaceful protests turn violent. Many times police turn on protesters with violence, and sometimes peaceful protesters turn violent when confronted by police unjustly.

Throughout history, countless students/citizens have taken to the streets demanding changes. They have been a voice and a banner-carrier for populations oppressed by strict or repressive government regimes. They have gathered together to demand for their rights, better and fairer education for all. And they have set themselves up against senseless wars, unjust killings, and violence. Bloodshed, injury and death did not deter them and they shook their entire countries to the core.

the pictures presented here are to tell us that dialogue often times remains the best alternative to protests before they erupt into riot.

19 Coldest And Hottest Inhabited Places On Earth

most of the northern hemisphere is currently huddled under blankets and battling frigid temperatures, it might be hard to imagine any place on earth that could get colder than the subzero temperatures that many populated cities struggle with in the coldest months of the year. Yet, humans are remarkably adaptable and over the millennia have found ways to make do in some of the most extreme and inhospitable climates on earth.

From fiery heat in the Sonoran Desert to extreme cold in Russia, Greenland and Canada, the following are some of the most inhospitable places (as far as temperature is concerned) where people carry on life.

MANCHESTER UNITED VERSUS BURNLEY - UNITED WE STAND

The Manchester United Vs. Burnley match is going to be a match to behold with both teams having challenges in their lineups. Burnley forward Sam Vokes is "touch and go" to play because of a tight hamstring, says manager Sean Dyche. Scott Arfield remains a doubt with a hamstring injury but Johann Berg Gudmundsson is fit after a knee injury.

United's Marcos Rojo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are both out for the season with knee injuries. Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Juan Mata remain unavailable but Ander Herrera and Ashley Young are both set to return to the starting line-up.

Manchester United’s unbeaten run now stands at 22 games (W12 D1) – every other Premier League team to go this long unbeaten in a single season has gone onto win the league in that campaign. Burnley’s tally of 32 points after 16 home games is the best by a promoted team since Charlton Athletic in 2000/01 (34). The Red Devils have won 30 points in 14 away games this season (W9 D3 L2). Only in four Premier League seasons have they taken more at this stage (1993/94, 2006/07, 2011/12 and 2012/13).

GOAL - 21 MINUTES - UNITED TAKE THE LEAD! Anthony Martial has scored his fourth Premier League goal of the season, to give United a one-nil here at Turf Moor.

GOAL - 39 MINUTES - ROONEY DOUBLES UNITED’S LEAD! It was a brilliant ball by Pogba into the path of Martial who tries to beat Heaton at his near post, however the keeper is quick off his line to block the shot.

FA CUP - ARSENAL Versus MANCHESTER CITY - Catch All The Excitement GOALS

Arsenal and Manchester City meet in the other game, with expectations high from both teams. Manchester City stars were in a relaxed mood as they ramped up their preparations for their showdown with Arsenal on Sunday afternoon. The two sides have already faced each other twice this season with City winning 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium before the 2-2 draw at Arsenal earlier this month.
City have lifted the FA Cup five times, most recently in 2011, while Arsenal's last success of their 12 was in 2015.
City have won 10 of their 20 matches at Wembley (old and new) while Arsenal have been triumphant in 26 of their 49 trips to the national stadium. Arsenal's top scorer in this year's competition is Theo Walcott with five goals while Sergio Aguero leads the way for City with four strikes. City have overcome West Ham, Crystal Palace, Huddersfield and Middlesbrough to get to the final four. Arsenal have seen off Preston, Southampton, Sutton United and Lincoln City.

WEIRD - Competition To Get Fat by Drinking Cow Blood and Milk With No Sex for 6 Months

Tribesmen in a remote valley in Ethiopia are competing to get as fat as they can in the space of six month. For the period, members of the Bodi tribe will drink nothing but fresh milk and blood from cows in order to gain weight.

During this time they are not allowed to have sex, or even leave their hut.

The good news is judging from the pictures, it worked for them so I advise for scientific research into the contents of cow blood and milk in addition to abstinence from sex in weight addition. African Discoveries. 😏😏😏

SHOCKING - Mass Grave With 200 Bodies Found Under Supermarket In Central Paris

Archaeologists have made a strange and rather gruesome discovery under a supermarket in central Paris: an ancient mass grave containing the skeletal remains of more than 200 people.

The grave came to light after the Monoprix supermarket company called on the French National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research to inspect the ground underneath its Boulevard Sebastopol store before moving forward with an expansion of its basement. The bodies, which were found neatly stacked five deep in eight underground chambers, are thought to be victims of an epidemic that struck France at least five centuries ago.

$12.9 billion Most Expensive Warship Ever Hits the Waters

The US Navy revealed Saturday the first of its new class of the USS Gerald R. Ford has headed out to sea off the coast of Virginia. The $12.9 billion carrier departed from Huntington Ingalls Industries-Newport News Shipbuilding in Newport News after more than a year's delay and cost overruns.

Construction on the Ford started in 2009.

It was supposed to finish by September 2015, with costs at $10.5 billion. But there were issues with the carrier's advanced systems and technology, including aircraft landing equipment and power generation. About 5,000 shipbuilders have been involved in the construction of the Navy's most expensive warship.

The ship has a five-acre flight deck, and holds 4,660 personnel and 75 aircraft, and was designed completely using 3D computer modelling. It can reach speeds upwards of 30 knots (about 34 mph), and has more than 10,000,000 feet of electronic cable built in. The giant warship is 1,106-foot long and will be capable of launching 220 airstrikes per day from its two runways, while appearing almost invisible to radar detectors. The ship is able to launch so many airstrikes one almost every six minutes because the deck uses electromagnetic force to propel the jets forward. It is a similar method as used on roller coasters.

Enjoy pictures of the Ship as I sincerely hope Donald Trump wont use such armory at his disposal negatively.

China Constructs 19-Storey Building which alows for Train Passage Through It - PIctures

A light railway track has been built to go through a hole in a residential 19-storey building in China, a bid to solve the space crisis in the city of Chongqing, China. The city of Chongqing in the south-east of the country has a population of 49 million packed into 31,000 square miles, causing urban planners to look creatively at solving space issues.

A special railway station was built into the block of houses, set into the sixth to eighth floors. Residents can hop on Chongqing Rail Transit No.2 at their own Liziba station. To homeowners in the complex, the sound of the train is designed to be as disturbing as the noise from a dishwasher. This sounds rather strange but true but it has been done on 2 occasions as shown in the pictures.
