A second caravan of migrants seeking asylum in the United States is forming at the Guatemala-Mexico border.

Migrants in the town of Tecun Uman, Guatemala, said Thursday they were waiting for between 1,500 and 4,000 people to mass for another caravan like the first that came through the town and is now in Mexico about 1,000 miles from the nearest US border crossing at McAllen, Texas.

The bridge connecting Tecun Uman to Ciudad Hidalgo in Mexico is closed – and migrants said they planned to cross the Suchiate River dividing the countries via rafts or by wading through the waist-deep water, USA Today reported.

Mexico shut that bridge under pressure from President Trump.

“We are in a horrible crisis in our country,” said Gabriela Patricia Aguilar Lainez, 37, one of those gathering in the town plaza with her 3-year-old daughter, according to USA Today. “We are in a political crisis, an economic crisis, and a crime crisis.”

According to the news outlet, there was no evidence that the new group of migrants from Honduras was funded by a particular organization.

The migrants said they simply banded together to flee violence that has torn apart their home countries and because there is strength in numbers.

“Our country is failed,” said Honduras native Kevin Escobar, 26, who had traveled six days walking and hitching rides to get to the Guatemala-Mexico border.

“I have to find a way to help my family and that means going to another country.”

UNICEF reported Friday that some of the estimated 2,300 children traveling with the first caravan are ill or suffering from dehydration.

The migrants were planning what would be their most ambitious single-day trek since they crossed into Mexico, setting their sights for Friday on reaching Arriaga, a march of about 62 miles.

Trump sent a message to the marchers in a tweet Thursday.

“To those in the Caravan, turnaround, we are not letting people into the United States illegally,” the commander-in-chief tweeted. “Go back to your Country and if you want, apply for citizenship like millions of others are doing!”

ALLEGED ‘MAGA BOMBER’ CESAR SAYOC ONLY FOLLOWS LEFT-WING PEOPLE ON TWITTER

Alleged 'MAGA Bomber' Cesar Sayoc Only Follows Left-Wing People on Twitter

But he was seen at numerous Trump rallies

 | Infowars.com – OCTOBER 26, 2018

Despite his vehicle being festooned with pro-Trump stickers and him attending Trump rallies, so-called ‘MAGA bomber’ Cesar Sayoc doesn’t follow any Republicans or conservatives on Twitter, choosing instead to follow left-wing personalities like Lena Dunham, Jimmy Kimmel and Barack Obama.

Following his capture in Plantation, Florida, leftists gushed with excitement at seeing images of Sayoc’s van covered with pro-Trump stickers alongside some of the targets of his dud mail bombs, including HiIlary Clinton, in crosshairs.

However, the alleged bomber’s Twitter follower activity seems a little at odds with the image of him being a Trump voter.

Out of the 32 people Sayoc follows on Twitter, none of them are Republicans or conservatives. He doesn’t even follow Trump himself.

Instead, Sayoc follows outspoken Democrats like Lena Dunham, Jimmy Kimmel, Barack Obama, Taylor Swift, John Oliver, Ellen DeGeneres and Seth Myers.

Some of the people who follow Sayoc are also Democrats with ‘blue wave’ emojis in their profiles.

However, all of Sayoc’s tweets are pro-Trump and anti-Democrat. He also attended numerous Trump rallies.

The bottom line is this; Just like James T. Hodgkinson, the anti-Trump Bernie fan who tried to massacre Republican Congressmen, apparent Trump fan Cesar Sayoc is clearly mentally ill.

Bernie wasn’t to blame for Hodgkinson’s actions, and Trump isn’t to blame for Sayoc’s actions.

Blackface only for liberals? NBC cancels Megyn Kelly’s show amid uproar about double standards

Blackface only for liberals? NBC cancels Megyn Kelly’s show amid uproar about double standards

NBC’s ‘Today’ show with Megyn Kelly is on the way out, making her departure from the network official. But the reason for her exit – comments she made about ‘blackface’ costumes – has come under scrutiny.

TV host Megyn Kelly © Reuters /Carlo Allegri‘Blackface’ backlash: NBC’s Megyn Kelly is no match for ruthless liberal outrage

NBC has said it is canceling ‘Megyn Kelly Today’ and will replace her show with ‘Today’ anchors.

The ‘Today’ show – which Kelly co-hosts – disclosed on Friday that their soon-to-be ex-colleague “is in talks with the network about her imminent departure.”

Today show correspondent Morgan Radford stressed that the “exact details” of the negotiations remain unclear. Kelly was more than a year into a three-year, $69 million contract with NBC.

Her departure comes just days after the host made what many described as insensitive and racist comments about ‘blackface’.

“You truly do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface at Halloween or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween,” she said during her show on Tuesday. She added that when she was growing up, wearing blackface was acceptable “as long as you were dressing like a character.”

Kelly apologized for the comment in a letter to NBC staff, and made an on-air apology on Wednesday at the start of her program. She did not appear on air on Thursday – sparking reports that she was already on her way out at the network. Kelly has apparently also fired her talent agency, ACA, and hired a powerful Hollywood litigator to help her with negotiating her exit.

But some have pointed out that other well-known television personalities have done far worse than Kelly – and have seen their careers blossom, as opposed to getting the boot. A friendly reminder from the Daily Caller reveals that Kelly’s alleged misdeed is small potatoes compared to the antics of other celebrities – who have actually donned blackface.

Jimmy Kimmel, who hosts a popular late-night talk show broadcast on ABC, once did a skit on his now-defunct comedy program, “The Man Show,” in which he portrayed former Utah Jazz basketball star Karl Malone. Kimmel wasn’t just in blackface – his entire body had been painted black.

Comedian Sarah Silverman donned blackface in a comedy sketch from 2007, and television host Jimmy Fallon once portrayed Chris Rock in a Saturday Night Live skit from 2000 – wearing blackface, of course.

While these stunts received their fair share of criticism, all three of the liberal-minded celebrities have become common fixtures on American television. Kelly – despised by American liberals as a Fox News turncoat – was apparently not afforded the same wide berth.

Kelly’s imminent exit also coincides with a bizarre segment on Dr. Phil – which was apparently allowed to air because it has ‘entertainment value.’

Kelly herself reportedly believes that her coverage of #MeToo controversies, including those involving NBC stars like Matt Lauer and Tom Brokaw, may be the real reason that she is being forced out of the network. Her lawyer has reportedly asked that Ronan Farrow, who left NBC News last year after the network refused to run his story on Harvey Weinstein’s alleged sexual misconduct, to attend Kelly’s exit negotiations.

ITALY IN SHOCK: THIRD AFRICAN MIGRANT ARRESTED IN GANG RAPE AND HOMICIDE CASE OF TEEN GIRL

Italy in shock: Third African migrant arrested in gang rape and homicide case of teen girl

The Italian police have arrested a third suspect in a case that shocked the country.

Voice Of Europe – OCTOBER 26, 2018

The Italian police have arrested a third suspect in a case that shocked the country. As we reported earlier, the body of the 16-year-old Desiree Mariottini was found in an abandoned building in Rome on Saturday.

Two Senegalese nationals were already arrested last night: Mamadou Gara, 26, and Brian Minteh, 43. Today a third suspect was arrested as well. The 40-year-old man comes from Nigeria, details on his name were not given.

The men face charges of sexual group violence, selling drugs and voluntary manslaughter. Police try to track down at least one other suspect who likely was present during the gang rape of the girl, as well.

“Now I want justice for Desiree. I don’t want this tragedy to happen to other girls,” the victim’s mother, Barbara Mariottini said.

The Mayor of Rome, Virginia Raggi, has announced a day of mourning for the city to coincide with Mariottini’s funeral.

Two Italian Ministers said today that the powers of the mayor should be increased as result of the case. “It’s time to give more powers to the mayor of Rome,” Deputy Prime Minister and Labour and Industry Minister Di Maio said.

Interior Minister Salvini, who agrees with his counterpart said earlier that he would return with a bulldozer to the area:

“I’ll come back to meet residents. As minister, I commit to cleaning up and come back with a bulldozer. There are buildings in Rome in this state with criminals who defend illegal occupations and drug dealing”.

“I have asked the State prosecutor to use a fist of iron…”I hope these beasts are soon caught,” he added.

This isn’t the first migrant murder in Italy. At the start of the year, the 18-year-old Pamela Mastropietro was murdered in Macerata.

Her body was found severely mutilated, hidden in two suitcases. Young Nigerian immigrant Innocent Oseghale was jailed for her murder.

GOT HIM? SUSPECT IN CUSTODY

Capture

By Zachary Fagenson

MIAMI, Oct 26 (Reuters) – Federal authorities arrested a person on Friday in connection with at least a dozen parcel bombs sent this week to Democratic politicians and high-profile critics of U.S. President Donald Trump, the U.S. Justice Department said.

The person was taken into custody in the Miami area, a U.S. law enforcement official said. The investigation into this week’s wave of suspicious packages focused on southern Florida and a mail sorting facility in the area.

The U.S. Justice Department will hold a news conference at 2:30 p.m. EDT. (1830 GMT), a department spokeswoman said.

Citing an unnamed source, cable network MSNBC said the suspect was a man in his 50s. CNN said the arrest was made in Plantation, a city near Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Reuters could not immediately confirm those reports.

No one claimed responsibility for parcel bombs, which were denounced by authorities as terrorism, and came less than two weeks ahead of U.S. congressional elections that could alter the balance of power in Washington.

Police found two of the suspicious packages on Friday addressed to U.S. Senator Cory Booker and James Clapper, the former U.S. director of national intelligence, officials said.

The 11th package was addressed to Booker, a Democratic senator from New Jersey, and was discovered at a mail sorting facility in Florida, the FBI said. A 12th package was addressed to Clapper at cable network CNN and was intercepted at a New York City post office, a federal law enforcement official said.
