(CBS) On “The Tonight Show” Thursday Roseanne Barr said she’s running for president

Posted by | Sep 1, 2019 | |

(CBS) On “The Tonight Show” Thursday Roseanne Barr said she’s running for president. Of the United States. For real. “You know, Jay,” said Barr, “I decided that since you’re the one that got Arnold Schwarzenegger elected as governor of California that I wanted to make my announcement here on your show because I really want to ask for your support. My announcement is that I am running for president of the United States.” After she made the announcement, ticker tape fell from above and then Barr joked she also wanted to be prime minister of Israel. “I want to represent the taxpayers,” she said, “and in fact, I’m choosing the taxpayers as my vice president.” Barr credited Palin with her decision to do a reality show (Barr stars in “Roseanne’s Nuts” on Lifetime, about her macadamia and 도박 합법 국가 livestock farm). “I feel like she’s stealing my act anyway,” said Barr. Among Barr’s platforms are eliminating taxes, forgiving all student loans and eliminating the monetary system in the United States. And she claims she’s serious, sending out a tweet about her decision.

(CBS News) TRIPOLI, Lebanon – At first, the man with the bullet wound was reluctant to speak to us. Then, in a rush of words, he began to tell of his double life in Syria. “I was a member of the Ba’ath Party,” Housam told CBS News from his hospital bed in Tripoli, northern Lebanon, referring to the party and the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Housam arrived clandestinely to Tripoli a few days earlier, to have a bullet removed from his left shoulder. More in After the Arab Spring He was shot, he says, in a battle fighting as a local commander for the rebel Free Syrian Army – the forces trying to topple the man he purported to work for and be loyal to in his day job. For 13 months, Housam led parallel lives in western Syria, near the central province of Homs. His hometown came under intense siege from the Syrian Army for months this spring, and Homs is considered one of the strongholds for the opposition in the now-17-month-old conflict. “I worked for the Assad government in the day and at night I would fight with the rebels,” he explains proudly from his hospital bed. “I was elected to my position (in the government) twice,” he adds, smiling broadly and over the ruse he was able to maintain for so long. “I am not afraid,” proclaims Housam, who was happy to have his full name, even his hometown given with his story. CBS News has chosen not to disclose his full identity, due to the potential risk to his family still inside Syria. “I’ve been fighting from the beginning. My mission was to protect the Al-Hosn castle and the people around it,” he says, referring to a 1,000-year-old structure that he claims Assad’s forces have already bombed. Because of his government position, he had a hand in doling out government loans and other help that went to farmers in the area, Housam says through a translator. As Housam tells it, his position allowed him intimate knowledge of how Assad’s Ba’ath party worked, and he rebelled against the system because of what he saw. “I didn’t like how Assad treated civilians, and there was discrimination,” he said, adding that most of the agricultural-related help was directed to the minority Alawites – Assad’s own sect of Islam, which is a minority in Syria. “Little went to Sunnis,” says Housam. Sunni Muslims represent the majority in the Homs area, and in the nation as a whole. The perceived neglect by the government has been one of the primary factors driving Syria’s Sunnis, including Housam, to take up arms against the regime. Like most information coming out of Syria, it is difficult to verify Housam’s story. Some of the details and accounts of events he offers do, however, match independent reporting. Housam says he commanded a 20-man unit defending the castle against the barrage of fire from government helicopters and tanks. His specialty, he says, was IEDs, or improvised explosive devices, that were used along with just two machine guns and some rocket-propelled grenades to defend their position at the 11th century castle, which is listed by UNESCO as a site of “outstanding universal value.” “I became an expert at making explosives,” Housam says. When asked where he found the substances to make the explosives, he says they were materials readily available at the local pharmacy. Housam says he was wounded after he removed a Syrian national flag from a house taken over by government forces. “As we were running away, I was shot.” Injured and bleeding, Housam made it to the nearby border on the back of a motorcycle driven by a fellow rebel. Getting treated at a Syrian hospital was out of the question – it would have meant certain capture. “He took me close to the border and then I snuck across on foot.” The rebels have carved out secret routes across Syria’s border with Lebanon, which is patrolled by the armed forces from both countries, but has become a frontline in the deadly struggle between the regime and the opposition. Official crossing points have been closed by Syrian authorities to prevent the rebels from taking them over, as they have done on the borders with Iraq and Turkey. Housam used one of the secret routes to make it across to Tripoli, a bustling coastal city which has its share of conflict. Buildings on each side of the city’s Syria Street bear the evidence: pockmarks left by bullets from clashes between pro-Assad and pro-rebel forces as the violence of the civil war has spilled across the border. Using an underground network relying on cell phones, Facebook and Skype, Housam found his way to a Tripoli hospital. Laying in his bed with his shoulder bandaged, and knowing he is now a wanted man, Housam tells CBS News that when he recovers, he will return to the battle and defeat Assad’s regime.

Mail held 8 years by Israel finally reaches Palestinians in West Bank

Posted by | Sep 1, 2019 | |

For the first time in eight years, Palestinians are receiving international mail. Letters, packages, presents and even a wheelchair have arrived in the West Bank after Israel released 10 tons of undelivered mail to the Palestinian territory. A dusty mailroom in Jericho buzzed back to life as thousands of mail sacs from around the world were sifted through and sorted, 배터리바둑이게임 reports CBS News’ Jonathan Vigliotti. They were then loaded onto scooters and ferried through the winding streets of Ramallah to their final destinations. Recipients like father Khaled Al-Adaman looked like they’d just received a message in a bottle. He thought the now-old back-to-school backpack for his daughter was long lost. In a way, it’s survived stormy seas. More than 10 tons of mail had been held in Jordan since 2010 because Israel — which controls the West Bank’s borders — wouldn’t allow its transfer. Postman Ramadam Ghazawy now acts as an investigator, piecing together addresses faded by time. “Some of them were damaged. Some of them have no identifiers or addresses,” he said. “It takes for me and my colleagues maybe two weeks. I hope [in] two weeks we will finish it all.” Israel calls the mail transfer a one-time gesture as it works to implement a 2016 agreement that would allow a direct delivery between the West Bank and Jordan. For now, extra mail carriers have been...
