Keep in mind this big news is coming out of Saudi Arabia in the middle of the night there, where it’s 1 a.m.

Also MBS advisor Kahtani is fired. The committee blames Jamal's death on a fight that broke out with people who met him in the consulate. So he decided to fight 15 people? One of whom allegedly had a bone saw? Really? https://t.co/CbioiMS80Y

So the story is that Khashoggi got into a "physical altercation" with 18 goons dispatched on two chartered planes to kidnap him and then they were forced to kill him?

Pretty sure we won’t be blocking streets & strangling business for weeks on end or smashing windows – because that would be criminal & moronic wouldn’t it? Do you think a no deal Brexit & reducing the number of days a flag flies (to match GB) are pretty much the same thing?

The migrant caravan of 3,000 breaks through fence barrier, crosses from Guatemala into Mexico.

Big question: what will Mexico do now? Most migrants have told me they don’t want to stay in Mexico. Their goal is US.
