General Motors is very counter to what other auto, and other, companies are doing. Big Steel is opening and renovating plants all over the country. Auto companies are pouring into the U.S., including BMW, which just announced a major new plant. The U.S.A. is booming!

In doing so, though, the president repeated his frequent false claim that steel plants are opening all over the country.

The claim was repeatedly debunked by fact-checkers from ABC News and other news organizations during his time on the campaign trail, and the White House has declined to elaborate on what the president is actually referring to, although U.S. Steel has said it has restarted some blast furnaces that were previously dormant prior to Trump's steel tariffs.

Gamer overheard Florida man raping a 15 year old girl while playing grand theft auto.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. - A New Port Richey, Florida man has been arrested after he allegedly raped a 15-year-old girl at his house while playing Grand Theft Auto, deputies say.

The alleged rape was witnessed by another gamer who overheard the incident while playing the game with the suspect over PlayStation 4.

Daniel Enrique Fabian, 18, was arrested on Wednesday, November 21 and charged with lewd and lascivious battery in connection to the incident which occurred on June 28, 2018.

The 15-year-old girl was at Fabian's home at the time of the incident. Fabian is known to the victim.

Fabian was playing Grand Theft Auto with another gamer when he told the other gamer he had a girl over at his house and he was going to "smash" her.

Fabian stopped playing the game for 15 minutes and during that time, the other gamer says Fabian's microphone was still on and he could hear the victim moaning and saying "no." The victim told Fabian to stop four times, but he continued to have sexual intercourse with her, according to the arrest affidavit.

After 15 minutes, Fabian resumed playing the video game with the other gamer.

A Sexual Assault Victim Exam was done on the 15-year-old girl and the results supported the allegation of sexual abuse.

Fabian was arrested and booked into the Land O' Lakes Detention Center.

Life expectancy in u.s. drops due to overdose and suicide rates

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The average U.S. life expectancy fell in 2017 as suicide and drug overdose rates continue to rise, according to three government reports released Thursday.

Americans born in 2017 are expected to live 78.6 years, down about 0.1 from the previous year, according to the the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Overall, there were more than 2.8 million U.S. deaths in 2017, or nearly 70,000 more than the previous year, the center said.

"Life expectancy gives us a snapshot of the Nation's overall health and these sobering statistics are a wake-up call that we are losing too many Americans, too early and too often, to conditions that are preventable," CDC Director Robert Redfield said in a statement. "[W]e must all work together to reverse this trend and help ensure that all Americans live longer and healthier lives."

The drop was largely driven by deaths from drug overdoses and suicides, which have increased steadily over the past few years. Nearly 70,240 Americans died of drug overdoses last year, compared to about 63,630 during the previous year.

"The pattern of drugs involved in drug overdose deaths has changed in recent years," the CDC said, noting a 45 percent increase in overdose deaths involving drugs synthetic opioids between 2016 and 2017.

President Donald Trump has made fighting the country's opioid epidemic one of his tenants. The president declared the crisis a national health emergency in December 2017 and even said he'd be willing to institute the death penalty for those peddling the drugs.

Separately, suicide rates have increased by about 2 percent per year between 2006 and 2017, according to the CDC's data.

Suicide was ranked as the 10th-leading cause of death for Americans of all ages and the second-leading leading cause of death for people between ages 10 and 34, the data said.

For males, the suicide rate increased 26 percent from 17.8 in 1999 to 22.4 in 2017, while the rate for women increased 53 percent over the same time frame, according to the CDC.

Convicted killer confesses to 90 murders that were in 16 different states.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A convicted murderer dubbed one of the "most prolific serial killers in U.S. history" confessed to 90 killings - a majority of which had remained unsolved for years - in 16 states dating back to the early 1970s, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said.

Samuel Little, who is already serving a life sentence for murdering three women in California, made the confessions while being held in Texas for the 1994 murder of Denise Christie Brothers. The serial killer said earlier this year he's willing to cooperate with officials in exchange for a move to a different prison.

"Little is in poor health and will likely stay in prison in Texas until his death. The goal now is to identify his victims and provide closure and justice in unsolved cases," the FBI said in a news release Tuesday.

Authorities nationwide traveled to the state to interview Little - and have corroborated at least 34 of the murders, which were committed between 1970 and 2005, according to the FBI. Officials said there are "many more pending confirmations" to murders in 16 states.

"Over the course of that interview in May, he went through city and state and gave Ranger Holland the number of people he killed in each place. Jackson, Mississippi-one; Cincinnati, Ohio-one; Phoenix, Arizona-three; Las Vegas, Nevada-one," ViCAP Crime Analyst Christina Palazzolo said in an FBI news release.

Little's criminal history began in 1956 and he's been arrested nearly 100 times, the New York Times reported. But it was only recently officials began examining the extent of his murderous past, the FBI said.

"By the time we are done, we anticipate that Samuel Little will be confirmed as one of the most prolific serial killers in American history," Bobby Bland, the district attorney of Ector County, Tex., told the New York Times.

Little, who also goes by the name Samuel McDowell, was arrested in 2012 in a shelter in Kentucky and extradited to California on a narcotics charge. DNA evidence, however, linked him to the murders of three women - Carol Alford, 41, Audrey Nelson, 35, and Guadalupe Apodaca, 46 - in Los Angeles that occurred from 1987 to 1989, the Los Angeles Times reported at the time.

"In all three cases, the women had been beaten and then strangled, their bodies dumped in an alley, a dumpster, and a garage," the FBI said.

Throughout his murder trial, Little insisted he was innocent. But he was convicted in 2014 and given three consecutive life sentences with no possibility of parole.

During the murder trial, authorities in other states began digging up unsolved murders that had similarities to those linked to Little, who preyed on "vulnerable women," often prostitutes or drug addicts. Some of the women Little killed remain unidentified.

Authorities said it wasn't always obvious the women had been murdered because there were no signs of a stabbing or shooting. Some of the deaths were ultimately classified as drug overdoses or accidents.

Little, a former boxer, would punch the victims until they were unconscious, strangle them, dump the bodies and leave town, detectives in Texas said.

But in recent weeks, officials have announced several cold cases have been solved due to Little's confessions.

The Marion County Sheriff's Office announced on Nov. 15 that Little confessed to the 1982 murder of Rosie Hill, whose remains were discovered in a wooded area in Florida. Little told Sgt. Michael Mongeluzzo that he killed the 20-year-old woman because "God put him on this Earth to do it."

Prince George's County Police in Maryland announced Wednesday that Little is responsible for the death of a still-unidentified woman. The remains of the woman, who was described as being about 19 years old with blonde or reddish hair, was found in 1972.

Little told detectives he picked the victim up at a Washington bus station and she indicated she was recently divorced, from the Massachusetts area and might be a mother.

Louisiana police said in a memo this month that Little provided details to the strangulation deaths of Dorothy Richard, 59, and Daisy McGuire, 40, in Houma that "only the murderer would have known." Richard was found dead in 1982 and the body of McGuire was discovered in 1996.

Family accuses a Mexican resort of giving their 20 year old daughter poisonous alcohol. She was found dead face down in the pool.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Wisconsin family filed a lawsuit against a Mexican resort and its U.S. booking website, claiming that tainted alcohol led to the death of their 20-year-old daughter.

Abbey Connor's mother claims she consumed a "tainted, substandard, poisonous" drink before she was found face down in the shallow end of a pool at Hotel Iberostar Paraiso del Mar in Playa del Carmen on Jan. 7, 2017, according to the lawsuit.

Connor, a student at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, was taken off life-support systems at a Florida hospital five days later.

Connor's mother, Virginia McGowan, filed suit in a state court in Miami against the hotel, its owners in Spain and U.S. operator Visit US, Inc.

"Over at least the past two years and possibly longer, defendants ... knew that alcoholic beverages being served at the at Hotel Iberostar Paraiso del Mar were tainted, substandard, poisonous and unfit for human consumption," according to the family's lawsuit.

"Abbey Conner unknowingly consumed tainted alcohol at the Hotel Iberostar Paraiso del Mar."

A rep for Visit US in Miami said Thursday the company hadn't seen the lawsuit and could not comment. A hotel official said no one with authority to discuss the lawsuit was immediately available to speak on Thursday.

The hotel had a "lack of adequate measures to prevent tainted alcohol from entering the hotel's premises through the hotel's supply chain," according to the family.

The civil complaint cited 2017 raids by Mexican authorities that seized tens of thousands of gallons of tainted alcohol that had been circulating at popular resorts.

"In the wake of these raids, Mexican authorities suspended operations of" the lobby bar at the Iberostar, according to the lawsuit.

The family also said there were no lifeguards on duty by the pool when Conner passed out and the hotel has yet to allow their investigators access to the property.

"Abbey's plight was reasonably foreseeable and the defendants ... had the opportunity to protect her," according to the civil action.

A 13-year-old North Carolina girl was found safe in Oklahoma on Wednesday night, nearly three days after her family reported her missing.

Authorities found Aubrey Acree with a 23-year-old man in Checotah, Oklahoma, more than 900 miles from the girl's home in Rutherford County, North Carolina, according to the FBI.

Police arrested Jacob Gardea, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, on the scene. He faces abduction charges from North Carolina and additional charges could be pending, FBI officials said in a statement.

"Aubrey's family has been notified of this great news and arrangements will be made in the near future to return her home to her loved ones in North Carolina," the statement said. "Law enforcement is grateful to a keen eyewitness who helped begin our investigative process with a strong lead that brought us to this joyful outcome."

Aubrey was last seen by family members on Sunday night and was reported missing the following day, according to ABC affiliate WSOC.

A witness reporting seeing her get into a car with an unidentified person in Mooresboro, North Carolina, on Monday. Detectives said a white 2005 to 2007 Subaru SUV had been suspected as the vehicle of interest.

"It's heartbreaking," Crystal Hope, a neighbor, told WSOC at the time. "I can't imagine what her family is going through. I know we're giving continued prayers. I would be devastated if it was my child."

The FBI is still investigating the circumstances surrounding the girl's disappearance.

The lowering in life expectancy, while low, is being partially blamed on drug abuse and suicide. There was a 3.7% rise in death due to suicide from 2016-2017 which is significant enough to consider it a threat to life expectancy. A wild 45% rise in deaths from 2016-2017 were due to drug OD.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Time 4 hrs ago Jamie Ducharme

U.S. life expectancy dropped in 2017 for the third consecutive year, as deaths by suicide and drug overdose continue to claim more American lives.

The average American could expect to live to 78.6 years old in 2017, down from 78.7 in 2016, according to data released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). That decline may be modest, but it marks the third year in a row that life expectancy at birth has fallen - a noteworthy phenomenon, since the previous multiyear drop recorded by the NCHS was in the early 1960s.

The modern trend seems to be propelled by steady increases in deaths by suicide and drugs, according to the new data. Upticks in deaths by suicide and accidental injuries (including drug overdoses), as well as due to conditions including Alzheimer's disease, stroke, influenza and pneumonia, have outpaced reductions in fatal heart disease and cancer, the country's two leading causes of death. All together, the U.S. death rate rose by 0.4% from 2016 to 2017, going from 728.8 deaths per 100,000 people to 731.9.

Drug overdoses alone took 70,237 lives in 2017, the highest number ever recorded for a single year. While that number corresponds to a 9.6% increase in the death rate, it's much smaller than the 21% jump recorded between 2015 and 2016 - perhaps a sign that the nation's substance abuse epidemic may be starting to stabilize. Preliminary data released last month also said drug overdose deaths have fallen over the last year.

Still, drugs - namely opioids such as heroin - continue to be a considerable cause of fatalities. And synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, are a growing problem: The rate of overdose deaths involving these drugs rose by 45% from 2016 to 2017.

Deaths by suicide, meanwhile, rose by 3.7% between 2016 and 2017, according to the new report. While still relatively uncommon, suicides accounted for 14 deaths per 100,000 people in the U.S. last year. In 1999, by contrast, that number was around 10.5 per 100,000 people.

Increases have been particularly pronounced among women, even though most people who die by suicide are male. The female suicide rate rose by 53% between 1999 and 2017, compared to 26% for men. Past CDC data has shown particularly worrisome increases among teen girls, for whom the suicide rate rose by approximately 70% between 2010 and 2016.

The new data is sobering, but the continuing declines in heart disease and cancer deaths provide a silver lining. While the reduction in heart disease deaths was fairly minor last year, the cancer death rate fell by 2.1% - a trend likely reflective of better screening and detection, tumbling smoking rates, expanded vaccination against HPV-related cancers and other public health advances.

Mysterious sea creature draws 'alien' comparisons with its sharp teeth, spiky skin

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hanna Mary was strolling along a beach with her mom and pup close behind when she spotted what she first believed was plastic sheeting. After a rough storm hit Canterbury, New Zealand, last week, Mary anticipated piles of "rubbish" would wash ashore.

But when she inspected the bizarre-looking object Saturday at a Rakaia Huts beach, shrieking after she realized it wasn't just another piece of trash - it was the skeleton of an "alien"-like critter.

"When I pulled it out and saw all the teeth and barbs I was convinced it was a rare deep sea creature," Mary told Fox News. "I was so excited because I love the ocean and it's inhabitants."
20-FOOT SEA CREATURE COVERED IN SHAGGY HAIR WASHES UP ON PHILIPPINES BEACH
Mary snapped several photos of the mysterious creature, capturing it at all angles. She then turned to social media in hopes of determining what type of species it was.

"Can anyone help identify this fish/ray/alien I found washed up at Rakaia Huts???" she inquired on Facebook.

Dozens of people offered suggestions - from a flying squirrel fish to a saw shark.

"Alien definitely alien," one user replied.

"I don't know, looks blood creepy," another wrote, in part.
GIANT 'CONTRACTING' CREATURE SPOTTED ON BEACH STUNS FAMILY: 'IT'S ALIVE'
With its wings, small fins on its back, two "legs" on either side and "barbs all over" that look like teeth, Mary had to partially agree with her followers that it was definitely unusual. That's why she decided to take it to a local taxidermist, though he wasn't able to confirm anything.

Malcolm Francis, a fisheries scientist and marine ecologist at National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), told the New Zealand Herald it's a New Zealand rough skate, also known as a Dipturus nasutus.

"They are called rough skate because they are very prickly ... it's quite common in Canterbury," Francis, who has been studying fish for more than 40 years, told the newspaper. "It's like flat shark, it has a skeleton made out of cartilage. They spend much of their time on the bottom."

Francis said he was able to determine the rough skate was a male based on it's "legs," which aren't actually legs at all.

"They look like a legs, but they're not," he explained. "They are used to help the male hang onto the female when they are mating."

Mary said many social media users also believe it's a rough skate. However, she hasn't received any confirmation in person thus far. She's planning to take it to an expert for further testing.

"I'm just not sure what to do with it after," she admitted.

New Zealand rough skates can grow up to nearly 3 feet and typically swim about 700 feet below the ocean's surface, according to Talley's Group, a New Zealand-based agribusiness company. The company noted the species is "considered a delicacy" in the country.

Known for roaming the deep sea, Mary isn't sure how the creature's body made its way to the surface - but she's glad it did.

"Every day [the ocean's] getting more and more destroyed so it's great people get an opportunity to see one of its creatures that they normally wouldn't get to see," she added.

Church hands out envelopes with amounts of money in between 100$-1000$ and were given the instruction to go bless someone with the money

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A men's group at a Baptist church in Georgia decided to give away money as a blessing to the community.

About 80 families at the Sandy Valley Baptist Church received envelopes with amounts between $100 and $1,000 with one simple instruction.

"Take it home and open it with your family and talk about the ways you can bless someone," CJ Holmes, who headed "Project Multiply," told Fox News.

"One family bought a bunch of blankets and gloves and some fast food gift cards and gave them to homeless people with information on the shelters in town," Holmes said.

A couple of people joined their amounts together to help pay medical bills for a member of the church who was going through chemotherapy.

Another lady was shopping at a grocery store when she saw a woman with a cart filled with food and supplies.

She told her, "You must be feeding an army," and when the woman responded that she was "feeding some homeless and veterans, she offered to use the money to pay for the groceries and then donated her time to the event handing out the food for Thanksgiving.

One member tipped their waitress $500.

The idea came when Holmes was meeting with 14 other men in his Sandy Valley men's group at church a few weeks ago, and the men independently raised $12,000 and presented it to the congregation the Sunday before Thanksgiving.

"We've been individually blessed and wanted to lead them in a project to allow us to bless many other people," Holmes said.

A lot of families in the church matched the amount they had received and give it to some need in their community, which met the idea the group hoped for of multiplying the initial amount of money.

A church in Plano, Texas, handed out a total of $125,000 before Easter Sunday in March with a similar approach, sharing stories from the givers and those who received.

"People's lives have been blessed and that's all we wanted," Holmes told 13WMAZ, adding that they plan to make "Project Multiply" a yearly tradition at the church.

"Aubrey's family has been notified of this great news and arrangements will be made in the near future to return her home to her loved ones in North Carolina," the statement said. "Law enforcement is grateful to a keen eyewitness who helped begin our investigative process with a strong lead that brought us to this joyful outcome."

Aubrey was last seen by family members on Sunday night and was reported missing the following day, according to ABC affiliate WSOC.

A witness reporting seeing her get into a car with an unidentified person in Mooresboro, North Carolina, on Monday. Detectives said a white 2005 to 2007 Subaru SUV had been suspected as the vehicle of interest.

"It's heartbreaking," Crystal Hope, a neighbor, told WSOC at the time. "I can't imagine what her family is going through. I know we're giving continued prayers. I would be devastated if it was my child."

California police have arrested a woman they say is responsible for attacking a McDonald's manager over ketchup last month.

Santa Ana resident Mayra Gallo, 24, was arrested without incident on Tuesday, the Santa Ana Police Department announced. She was still in custody at the Orange County jail Wednesday on $15,000 bond, and her initial court appearance was scheduled for Thursday, online jail records showed.

Gallo's occupation on the jail records was listed as unemployed.

On Oct. 27, Gallo was allegedly seen on camera choking and slamming the fast food manager's head against the soda machine in the kitchen area, according to police.

The attack, caught on surveillance video, began when Gallo allegedly walked through the back door of the restaurant around 11 p.m. asking for ketchup, police said in a statement.

When the manager told Gallo she could not be in the building, Gallo "became combative" and pushed and choked the employee, police said.

The manager told the suspect that she would be "glad" to help her if she went around to the front of the store, Santa Ana Police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna told ABC Los Angeles station KABC earlier this month.

Other employees were seen rushing to help pull the suspect off the manager. A man wearing a grey shirt and hoodie then escorted the suspect from the restaurant through the back door after an employee alerted him, the video showed.

Larry Kaplan, the owner-operator of the Santa Ana McDonald's, told KABC the "biggest priority" is the safety and well-being of the employees and customers.
