"You're f****** crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your a***. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this."
That's what a U.S. official tells Axios President Trump unloaded on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a heated phone call over Israel's military actions in Lebanon.
Trump was reportedly furious that Israel's moves risked blowing up U.S. diplomatic efforts in the region, at one point also asking Netanyahu: "What the f*** are you doing?"
The United States will slash the number of embassies in Africa that process visas by more than half, the Associated Press reported on Monday, citing sources. https://t.co/dUkAPfucRX
After the demolition of people’s homes by @nemaug , a devastated mother reportedly chose to take her own life, overwhelmed by the pain of losing everything. In the video, her young son can be seen desperately pleading with her not to do it.
21 years ago, I sat in a prison cell and learned I was pregnant.
Every sign pointed toward abortion. Every circumstance said this baby would never have a chance.
But I chose life.
I saw value in my daughter before anyone else could.
What I didn’t know was that her birth would help change laws in America. Fifteen years after I gave birth while chained to a hospital bed with a sheriff standing watch, that story reached the highest levels of government. And @POTUS granted me a full and unconditional pardon and signed legislation ending the shackling of women during childbirth in federal prisons.
Today, that same baby walked across the stage as a graduate of MIT.
From a prison birth to one of the most prestigious universities in the world.
Never let your circumstances determine someone’s worth.
There is value in life.
There is purpose in every child.
Go, baby. The world is yours. ❤️🎓

Before we say goodbye to former Uganda Parliament Speaker Anita Annet Among (AAA), who was brought down by a scandal over a very expensive Rolls-Royce “gift”, let us close with something about the car’s history.
The “Spirit of Ecstasy” is the iconic sculpted mascot that sits on the bonnet (hood) of every Rolls-Royce motor car. It depicts a woman leaning forward with her arms outstretched behind and above her. It was modelled after Eleanor Velasco Thornton (also known as Thorn), who was caught in a secret, passionate affair with the wealthy British aristocrat John Walter Edward Douglas-Scott-Montagu, 2nd Baron Montagu of Beaulieu. Eleanor was Montagu’s secretary.
On 30 December 1915, Eleanor and Lord Montagu were travelling to India aboard the passenger steamship SS Persia when it was torpedoed by a German submarine off the coast of Crete in the Mediterranean.
The ship sank in just five minutes. While Lord Montagu miraculously survived by clinging to a life raft, Eleanor drowned along with hundreds of others.
Pity we only paid attention to this now. We could have warned AAA that a Rolls-Royce is no car for a lady; its mascot is quite literally the tragic epitaph of a woman lost at sea. And, I can't resist this one: “The Thorn” would have been a fitting nickname indeed for Among.
The Ministry of Health has confirmed two new cases of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in Kampala, raising the country’s total number of confirmed infections to nine.

Being alert is perhaps one of the most underrated skills while on the road. Yet it can be the difference between a smooth memorable journey and one where passengers and the driver end up in the hospital or in the morgue.
Ebola update: Government has suspended mass gatherings and introduced tougher rules for schools to help control the spread.
