He didn't manage to win the fight against bowel cancer. He didn't want to let people around him know about this except for his family and probably some directors.

The US Intelligence and the US Congress Row
https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-53962656
Office of the Director of National Intelligence or ODNI won't allow its personnel meet the lawmakers in person to answer their questions. They claimed they need to prevent personnel from leaking information as it had happened so far. Instead they'll send written reports to Congress from now on. Obviously people like Pelosi hate this policy. Trump claims they should better investigate if the lawmakers were committing a felony when they extracted some information when it was uncertain if they had the right to access it or to even inquire of it from the very beginning. Keep in mind Pelosi and Schiff love to brag about their so called "discoveries". Why didn't they consult some lawyers before? They might have overstepped their authority by not following the adequate procedures or not getting some warrant like paper allowing them to carefully analyze some top secret information

Chess Olympiad: India and Russia both get gold after controversial final
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-53965748
First there were the "controversial" DeepBlue and DeepBlue Jr. Now it's the very same... internet connection!? At least that was the basis of India's request after several countries lost their connection and players like two Indians (and some Armenian) were unable to make their moves in time.

Armenia on Friday said one of its players was disconnected from the server during its quarterfinal match against India, and lost on time. Its appeal was rejected and the country withdrew from the competition in protest.

Well, you still can partake in the 44th Chess Olympiad to be held in Russia next year.

Portland Chaos: Biden blames Trump and US President blames Mayor Wheeler
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53962363
Business as usual, Biden and Wheeler blame Trump for being a cause for division among people.

The people of Portland, like all other cities & parts of our great Country, want Law & Order. The Radical Left Democrat Mayors, like the dummy running Portland, or the guy right now in his basement unwilling to lead or even speak out against crime, will never be able to do it!

That "guy in his basement" or bunker is nobody else but Biden himself.  
Where did the US President get that? Well, there was a time when Biden simply broadcasted his speeches from his basement in order to stay away from the virus.   It reminds me of Daniel Ortega and Kim Jong Un. They did disappear for days as well. Actually the latter hasn't been seen in public for months.

Progressive Protesters demand Mayor Wheeler's resignation

Activists adduced they grew tired of his hands-off leadership. They also think law enforcement is pretty much non existing in Portland and they can't trust the police to keep them safe. Could it be because of their attempts to get rid of the police forces? They also mentioned some videoclips but there's no actual prove they can link them to any specific group but mere speculations.  

Cop shot down by gunman in Saint Louis

Who said protesters or criminals where the only victims of violence? The Bohannons might tell you a whole different story after losing Tamarris while he and another cop were trying to solve a conflict where a gunman expelled a family from their house and shot the cops at Bohannon's head and the unnamed officer's leg.
So far 8 officers have been shot in the city. You don't see people protesting against spikes in crime while the real and the pseudo BLM movements do get all the media's attention. It doesn't seem to be fair for cops and their families and the average citizens.

In Xinjiang province, China, forced medication accompanies lockdown

When police arrested the middle-aged Uighur woman at the height of China’s coronavirus outbreak, she was crammed into a cell with dozens of other women in a detention center.
There, she said, she was forced to drink a medicine that made her feel weak and nauseous, guards watching as she gulped. She and the others also had to strip naked once a week and cover their faces as guards hosed them and their cells down with disinfectant “like firemen,” she said.

Remind me why should we ever think China cares about ethnic groups. They treat so called infected people like criminals! Even if there's no actual proof of them having committed any crime or had contracted any virus at all.
