The new nunberg episode "marks the dawn of mueller's march madness" some people are saying. they claim it is the oddest plot twist a russain person could throw.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
How else to explain a staggering, reality TV-style meltdown of short-lived Trump campaign adviser Sam Nunberg on Monday, played out in a batch of cable news interviews, marking the oddest twist of the Russia saga yet?

In a stunning blast of accusations, insults and non-sequiturs, Nunberg vowed to defy a grand jury subpoena, dared Mueller to arrest him and claimed the relentless prosecutor believed that Donald Trump was a Manchurian candidate.

It all unfolded in hour upon hour of car-crash television, in a compelling self-immolation that it was impossible to look away from and provided a reminder of the cast of erratic, oddball characters who drift in and out of the President's employ -- some of whom staffed his campaign and his White House.

At times, Nunberg appeared close to the end of his rope, saying he had already spoken to Mueller's team and did not wish to spend another "80 hours" digging through his communications with Trump aides that had been subpoenaed by the special counsel.

"Screw that," Nunberg told CNN's Gloria Borger when asked if he would testify to the grand jury on Friday. "Why do I have to go? Why? For what?"

His defiance risked landing him in jail on contempt charges and threatened to create a sideshow for the straight-laced special counsel while his outbursts were sure to trigger days of news coverage and will therefore likely infuriate Trump.

But though Nunberg's emotional outpouring might be seen as the ramblings of someone under intense duress, it had enough hints of where the Russia investigation may be heading to worry the President.

"This guy is all over the map," former FBI special agent Josh Campbell said, dubbing the Nunberg show "the Great Unravelling."

"Up until this point Mueller's team has been so tight, we haven't seen the leaks so it has been very difficult to see what he's looking for," Campbell said. "I think it's incredible, seeing today this episode unfold before our eyes because it gives us that insight into where the investigation is ultimately headed."

What he said

Nunberg, apparently interpreting questions already put to him by Mueller's investigators, said for instance that he believes that the special counsel has something on Trump related to the Russian meddling effort on the 2016 election: "I suspect they suspect something about him," he told Borger.

He also claimed the special counsel is trying to prove that Trump associate Roger Stone colluded with Julian Assange, founder of the WikiLeaks site which is reputed to have links with Russian intelligence.

In another claim that would be highly significant if it turns out to be true, Nunberg claimed Trump knew about a meeting between his son Donald Trump Jr., campaign officials and a Russia delegation offering dirt on Hillary Clinton.

"He talked about it a week before and I don't know why he did this," said Nunberg, in his second CNN interview, this time with Jake Tapper.

"I don't know why he went around trying to hide. He shouldn't have," Nunberg said.

The President has denied he knew anything about the meeting.

Nunberg also said he suspected that former Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page had colluded with the Russians, and said he was a "moron" -- though argued that he was too low-level to have much influence with Trump.

While much of what Nunberg said was insulting toward Trump and his staff, he also insisted that the President did not conspire with the Russians during the election, offering a rather backhanded defense of his former boss.

"Vladimir Putin is too smart to collude with Donald Trump," Nunberg told CNN. "Donald Trump couldn't keep his mouth shut if Putin colluded with him."

White House reaction

In the middle of his cable spree, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders delivered her daily briefing and suggested Nunberg was woefully misguided in his allegation that Trump may have committed wrongdoing during the campaign.

"I think he definitely doesn't know that for sure because he's incorrect," Sanders said. "There was no collusion."

But the manner of Nunberg's unburdening on cable television and the eye-popping nature of his claims cannot have helped but attract the notice of Trump, an avid cable news viewer, and are unlikely to improve his festering mood over Russia.

In his interview with CNN's Erin Burnett, Nunberg slammed the White House, saying the Trump team was doing a terrible job, given the President's low approval ratings. "They can say whatever they want about me," he said.

At least part of Nunberg's motivation appeared to lie in his anger about how he and Stone were treated by Trump -- a provocation that may be all but impossible for the President's twitchy Twitter finger to ignore.

At the White House, Trump's aides watched the Nunberg interviews in shock, calling them "nuts" and "bizarre" CNN's Kaitlan Collins reported.

The outlandish nature of Nunberg's charges are bound to raise questions about his credibility as a witness and will give the White House an opening as it seeks to discount his claims about the scope of the Mueller investigation.

At one point, Burnett said that she smelled alcohol on Nunberg's breath. Though he said he had not been drinking, there must be some question about the state of his mind.

But there's no doubt his appearances also present Trump's team with a problem, since the President has been prone to his own emotional outbursts about the Russia probe, and any inflammatory reaction on his part will only prolong the story.

Even before the Nunberg meltdown, Trump appeared fixated and angry about the Russia investigation Monday, going further than before in accusing his predecessor Barack Obama of intervening in the 2016 election against him.

"Why did the Obama Administration start an investigation into the Trump Campaign (with zero proof of wrongdoing) long before the Election in November? Wanted to discredit so Crooked H would win. Unprecedented. Bigger than Watergate! Plus, Obama did NOTHING about Russian meddling," Trump wrote on Twitter.

The tweet was wrong on a number of counts, but it may offer some insight into Trump's own current state of mind.

More alleged scandals

Trump's feelings can hardly have been tempered by two other prominent news stories about alleged scandals on Monday related to the bizarre eco-system of scandals and accusations surrounding his campaign and personal conduct.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen complained to friends he had not been reimbursed for a six-figure payment to a porn star alleged to have had an affair with the billionaire-turned-politician.

Cohen previously said he had facilitated a payment to Stephanie Clifford, better known as the porn star Stormy Daniels, but has denied that Trump and Clifford had an affair in 2006, as the paper reported.

For a while Monday, the scene of the Russia election intrigue shifted to Bangkok and a sweltering Thai detention center where a self-styled "sex coach" who claims to have detailed insider knowledge of Russian meddling in the US election told CNN she wants to cooperate with US investigators.

Belarus-born Anastasia Vashukevich claims she has an hour of audio recordings and photos of meetings. She also claims to be the former mistress of Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska, and says she witnessed several meetings in 2016 and 2017 between the oligarch and and at least three unnamed Americans.

Back in Washington, what passed for normality in the Trump era went on in the shadow of the Russia storm. Trump met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is himself under a legal cloud, fighting several cases of alleged corruption.

America's allies piled desperate pressure on the White House to try to head of steel and aluminum tariffs promised by Trump that could spark a trade war.

But March 5, 2018, will forever be remembered as the day of Nunberg TV.

One of two people critically ill in a UK hospital after a "suspected exposure to an unknown substance" is a former Russian military official convicted of being a British spy, a source familiar with the investigation told CNN. Sergei Skripal, 66, who was granted refuge in the UK after a high-profile swap spy between the US and Russia in 2010, was found slumped on a shopping center bench in Salisbury, southern England, with an unidentified woman. Police said both were unconscious when they were discovered on Sunday afternoon.Authorities declined to confirm their identities, nor the nature of the substance to which they were exposed. Police described them only as a man in his 60s and a woman in her 30s, and were known to each other.

"The two people -- a man aged in his 60s, and a woman aged in her 30s -- were found unconscious on a bench in The Maltings in Salisbury," Wiltshire police said on Monday, adding that the injured are known to each other.

UK's national broadcaster, the BBC, is naming the man, who is in his 60s, as former Russian spy Sergei Skripal, who was granted refuge in the UK following a "spy swap" between the US and Russia in 2010.

None of the individuals involved has been named by the UK Home Office, Wiltshire Police or Salisbury Hospital.

"Because we are still at the very early stages of the investigation, we are unable to ascertain whether or not a crime has taken place," police said.

Reiterating an earlier announcement, police said in a statement on Monday that "a major incident has been declared today and a multi-agency response has been co-ordinated."

citizens in an Estonian district have chosen the cannabis leaf as the symbol of their flag and coat of arms.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Citizens in an Estonian district have chosen the cannabis leaf as the symbol on their new flag and coat of arms, it's reported.

The Kanepi municipality in southeast Estonia was created last July through the merger of three previously separate districts ;and as a result of the local government shake-up, residents were given the chance to vote on a new symbol to represent the district, state broadcaster ERR says.

The overwhelmingly popular choice among the people of Kanepi was a design based on the cannabis leaf. According to ERR, "kanep" is the Estonian word for cannabis.

Mayor Andrus Seeme told local media that the winning design received 12,000 of the total 15,000 votes cast, and said that he would respect the public's wishes.

The design will now be sent to the Heraldry Department of the State Chancellery in the capital Tallinn for approval, Delfi news agency reports.

Cannabis is illegal in Estonia, however, government official Gert Uiboed says that nobody will stand in any local authority's way if they want to use cannabis-based symbolism.

"Cannabis has been used as a heraldic symbol for a long time," Mr Uiboed said. "It is up to the local government to decide exactly what symbols and ideas they want."

Three children were allegedly drugged by their mother.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
OLATHE, Kan. - New court documents say three children allegedly drugged by their mother "would have died" if first-responders hadn't acted when they did.

Therese Roever is charged with three counts of attempted capital murder for allegedly giving her three children drugs that nearly killed two of them.

According to court documents, on Feb. 19, police were dispatched after Roever's ex-husband called, saying Roever and their three children were drugged and groggy.

The ex-husband said he could not get Roever to answer the phone or door for more than an hour. When she finally answered the door, court documents say Roever told him to call four ambulances.

When officers arrived, Roever was lying on a bed with her 7-year-old daughter who was not alert, according to police. The couple's five-year-old was also seen getting up from a bed and stumbling to the ground, and police found another 7-year-old child crying inside a bathroom.

Court documents say officers also found multiple pill bottles on the ledge of a bed.

Police called Johnson County Med-Act to the Olathe home, and Roever and all three children were taken to a nearby hospital. On the way to the hospital, Med-Act crews administered Narcan, a drug used to treat opioid overdoses, on two of the children.

According to court documents, doctors at the hospital told police two of the children would have died if police wouldn't have arrived when they did.

The capital classification to Roever's charges is because the crime involved more than one victim in the same act, but the attempted murder charges may be the result of what she allegedly told a 911 operator.

In a police dispatch recording, the dispatcher fills in first-responders before they arrived at the scene: "The male is back on the phone and advising the kids were given something. I can hear one certain cry in the background. The other is sleeping," the dispatcher said.

Later, dispatchers spoke with Roever.

"The wife is now on the phone," the dispatcher said. "She says it was intentional. It was a drug overdose. There is no weapons."

Roever lost custody of the children to her ex-husband shortly after the two were divorced in 2016, court documents say. Three months ago, the court granted her unsupervised visitation.

Roever is being held in jail on a $1 million bond. In court documents, police said the investigation into the incident is ongoing.

A massive block of snow fell from a roof and buried a mother and her 7-year-old son just feet from the front door. Olga Perkovic and her son Aaron Goodstei had been skiing in the Sierra Nevada and when they were returning home on Sunday when a chunk about the size of a trailer fell from the roof, burying them under about 3 feet of snow. "It was a freak accident," Undersheriff Spencer Pace said Monday, neither him or the sheriff can remember sliding snow ever killing anyone in the three decades they've been there. At about 9 p.m. on Sunday, a neighbor spotted ski gloves next to the condo, realized they were beneath the snow and called 911. The mother, and son were airlifted to a hospital, where they were declared dead. They were the third and fourth to die skiers at California resorts since a major snowstorm late last week.

A massive block of snow fell from a roof and buried a mother and her 7-year-old son just feet from the front door of their Northern California mountain condo, authorities said.

Olga Perkovic and her son Aaron Goodstein had been skiing in the Sierra Nevada near the Nevada state line, the Alpine County Sheriff's Department said. They were returning home Sunday when a chunk about the size of a trailer fell from the roof, burying them under about 3 feet (0.91 meters) of snow.

"It was a freak accident," Undersheriff Spencer Pace said Monday. He said warming temperatures often cause snow to slide off roofs, occasionally injuring people. But he said neither he nor the sheriff can recall sliding snow ever killing anyone in the three decades they've been there.

Pace said Perkovic's mother, who was staying in the condo with the family of five, reported the pair missing at about 6:40 p.m. Sunday.

Rescuers searched the nearby Kirkwood Ski Resort for hours because the pair's last know location was a ski lift where they had scanned their tickets at about 4 p.m.

Pace said it appears the two skied an "alternate" route home from the slopes that took them between buildings on a path that is unpaved in the summer.

At about 9 p.m., a neighbor spotted ski gloves next to the condo, realized they were beneath the snow and called 911.

The mother, 50, and son from San Francisco were airlifted to a hospital, where they were declared dead, Pace said.

They were the third and fourth to die skiers at California resorts since a major snowstorm late last week.

The region's largest storm of the winter season dumped more than 6 feet (1.83 meters) of snow in the area over the last week, according to the Kirkwood ski resort, which is about 180 miles (290 kilometers) east of San Francisco.

Kirkwood officials didn't return a call placed after 5 p.m.

Avalanches also briefly closed Squaw Valley and Mammoth Mountain in recent days.

The Rice University community has been stunned by the death of a star member of the football team.

Blain Padgett, a 21-year-old junior, was found dead Friday in his apartment after missing a morning team workout, according to reports.

When the defensive end failed to show up for the workout, some teammates went to check on him and found him unresponsive, Fox 26 Houston reported.

The cause of death has not been determined.

The station spoke to former Owls head coach David Bailiff, who said that Padgett would have played in the NFL.

Bailiff recruited Padgett out of high school in Texas.

"It's news that absolutely hits your heart and brings tears to your eyes," he said. "You reflect back on the last conversations you had with him. The big gut hug he gave you when you walked out the door. Shocked, saddened."

"Can't imagine what his parents and sister are going through because they're such a close family," added Bailiff. "Great kid, great player, team leader who influenced everyone around him. He would have played at the next level."

The new coach at Rice, Mike Bloomgren, said the team was devastated by the news.

"All of my thoughts right now are how best to help Blain's family and his teammates in this very difficult period," he said.

The Owls start spring practice Monday.

Padgett's football bio calls him a "commanding presence along the defensive front."

After being named a preseason All-Conference USA third-team selection by Athlon and Phil Steele last year, Padgett was expected to have a breakout season in 2018, The Houston Chronicle reported.

Tennessee woman's lawsuit claims trooper groped her, pulled her over twice in hours

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Tennessee woman alleged in a lawsuit that a state highway patrol officer in August searched her without cause, groped her and waited three hours near her home to stop her again, KnoxNews.com reported.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol issued a statement that supports the trooper, but a state prosecutor criticized Trooper Isaiah Lloyd and said his actions were "inconsistent with his training."

Jared Effler, the eighth judicial district attorney, told the paper on Thursday that he will likely be unable to charge Lloyd with a crime, but he said he was going to drop a seatbelt ticket issued to Patricia Aileen Wilson.

"Our review of this matter has been forwarded to Commissioner of Safety and Homeland Security David Purkey, along with a request that the findings of our review be reviewed with Trooper Lloyd to prevent similar incidents in the future," Effler wrote.

Col. Tracy Trott of the Tennessee Highway Patrol issued a statement that said Lloyd "conducted this traffic stop in a professional manner in an effort to protect the motoring public." The Knox News reported that there was no mention of the second stop in the statement.

During the first stop, Lloyd asked Wilson twice if she had taken any prescription drugs, the report said.

Wilson said she takes a sleeping aid, the report said. Lloyd asked if it was Ambien. She said that was the one, but said she only takes it every other night.

"I don't take any narcotics," she reportedly said. Lloyd responded, "It is a narcotic."

The paper pointed out that Ambien is not considered a narcotic under U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration guidelines.

The video shows Lloyd-who was hired by the department in 2015 and served with the 82 nd Airborne Division in Iraq-- ordering Wilson out of the truck, the report said. Wilson alleges that Lloyd put his hands inside her waistband and touched her buttocks and genital area.

Lloyd stopped Wilson a second time near her home over the tint on her truck windows, the lawsuit alleges, according to the paper. The lawsuit alleges that he told her, "We have to stop meeting like this." Although the first interaction's audio was recorded, Lloyd claimed the battery on his microphone died for the second, Effler's review said.

James A. H. Bell, who represented Lloyd during the department's review, said Lloyd searched her because she had taken an Ambien, the report said. The paper pointed out that the video does not show Ambien being discussed until the actual search.

The suit seeks $100,000 in damages.

Three employees of a daycare in suburban Chicago are being arrested for giving children gummy bears laced with sleep aid. The Des Plaines Police Department was called early Monday to "Kiddie Junction" after the management found out a teacher was giving them gummy bears. With further investigation they found that two other teachers were involved. Parents never gave permission to give children the sleeping aid, they didn't even know if the children were possibly allergic, luckily no child had an allergic reaction. The three teachers are now facing charges of endangering the life or health of a child.

Three employees of a day care facility in suburban Chicago were arrested Friday after they gave children gummy bears laced with sleep aid melatonin without parental consent, according to police.

The Des Plaines Police Department said Monday that officers were called to Kiddie Junction after management learned a teacher was giving children the gummies. A further investigation revealed that two other teachers were also involved.

Three workers - 25-year-old Ashley Helfenbein of Chicago, 19-year-old Jessica Heyse of Des Plaines and 32-year-old Kristen Lauletta of Niles - now face charges of endangering the life or health of a child and battery. They are all due in court April 4.

Police said the children were given the melatonin "in an effort to calm them down before nap time," and that parents hadn't given permission for their children to receive the melatonin.

"You can't distribute that without the parents being told," Des Plaines police Cmdr. Christopher Mierzwa told the Chicago Tribune. "(The teachers) didn't know if the child was allergic to melatonin."
UNLICENSED DAY CARE WORKER REPORTEDLY TELLS COPS SHE WOULD 'RATHER BE DEPORTED THAN GO TO JAIL' AFTER ALLEGEDLY BREAKING CHILD'S LEGS
Police told FOX 32 Chicago they have footage showing the teachers giving the melatonin gummy bears on two occasions, and one of the teachers may have been doing this since November 2016.

Authorities contacted parents who had children at the facility, and said that no children were sickened.

"When the detective called me he didn't specify what classroom it happened and he called me and said I'm detective so and so with the Des Plaines Police Department and I'm here at the Kiddie Junction and my heart dropped," parent Edi Kulasic told FOX 32.

Des Plaines Police said the management of the facility is cooperating in the investigation.

Kathy Wiley, whose grandson Mason goes to the day care, told FOX 32 he still has faith in the teachers at the facility.

"I feel terrible for the owners and the management and this is just some poor choices that these girls made," she told FOX 32.

A Virginia father posted a Facebook video that he says shows his 10-year-old son running to school in the rain as a form of punishment for bullying in school and being banned from the school bus.

Bryan Thornhill said his technique is working. He said his son was "out of his mind" last week and -- since the punnishment -- has not gotten into trouble.

"This right here is called parenting," he said, according to a Daily Mail report.

Thornhill said it is important for kids to be held accountable for their actions. He said his son ran a mile to school for one week and joked that he kept a pretty good pace, running six-minute miles.

The Epoch Times reported that the video was posted on March 1 and has since been viewed over 1.6 million times.

"Teach your kids," Thornhill, who filmed the runs from inside his truck, said. "Don't be a friend, be a parent. That's what children need these days."

The vast majority of comments from viewers have been positive.

One post claimed to be from an educator who worked in schools for a decade. She said she wished there were more parents like Thornhill. Another wrote, "My hat's off to you, Brother!! Good parenting!"

Some commenters were critical of the technique, especially over the fact the boy was running in the rain.

"So bully your kid to teach him not to bully lol," one post read. "Have you ever looked the kid in the face and had a long conversation with him about why he is acting the way he is acting. Find out where he learned to be a bully to begin with."

The Northeast is bracing for its second winter storm in a week after one that hit Friday caused the deaths of at least nine people and left hundreds of thousands without power.

Other parts of the world are meanwhile coping with their own extreme weather, such as Australia's record-breaking heat earlier this year and a sub-zero freeze in the U.K.

The next winter blast in the Northeast U.S. is expected to strike Tuesday night, with a winter storm watch in place for much of the Northeast from Pennsylvania to Maine, including New York City, Hartford and Boston, according to the National Weather Service.

Snowfall of 5 to 9 inches is forecast for some places, with up to a foot in isolated areas..

The storm is developing in the upper Midwest today before it moves eastward to the coast with snowfall expected from Fargo, North Dakota, all the way to northern Indiana. More than a foot may fall in parts of Minnesota.

The winter storm watch follows a nor'easter that pummeled the East Coast over the weekend.

The incoming storm is expected to be less powerful although there is a possibility that by Wednesday it could strengthen to become a full-blown nor'easter with heavy snow from New York City to Boston.

Australia

Almost exactly on the other side of the world, Australia is still experiencing hot temperatures after near record-breaking highs in January that sent beachgoers scrambling for shade and water.

According to the Australian government's Bureau of Meteorology, Perth, a large city on the Western coast of the continent, may experience highs of 36 degrees Celsius, or 96 degrees Fahrenheit, on Tuesday and 32 degrees Celsius, or 92 degrees Fahrenheit, on Wednesday.

During January's heat wave, the temperature in Sydney hit an almost 80-year high of just over 47 degrees Celsius, or 117 degrees Fahrenheit.

People were told to limit their time outdoors because of air pollution, to drink more water, and a ban was placed on outdoor fires. Thousands were left without power during the heat wave.

Europe

Across the pond, the U.K. and its neighbors endured an extreme and deadly cold snap accompanied by a blizzard over the weekend that closed airports and left hundreds of drivers stranded on highways in Scotland, Switzerland, Ireland, and France.

Ten severe weather warnings were issued in the U.K. with travel warnings, cancellations of flights and trains and closures of numerous roads and thousands of schools.

Heavy snowfall left residents across Europe trudging through the deep snow over the weekend, but even before the latest weather system, the U.K. had been attempting to recover from "the beast from the east," the nickname for a severe storm that struck the country last Wednesday.

According to the U.K.'s weather office, an alert was issued last week for Scotland warned that there would be heavy snow and strong winds that would be threatening and disruptive to life.

apple employies are accadently walking into panes of glass

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Last month, reports emerged about a strange workplace hazard at Apple's sleek new headquarters in Cupertino. It seems that people keep walking head first into the glass walls at Apple Park.

Now the San Francisco Chronicle confirms the news via 911 calls on three separate incidents in early January. Some highlights:

First call: "We had an individual who ran into a glass wall pane and they hit their head. They have a small cut on their head and they are bleeding, slightly disoriented."

As Gizmodo explains, Apple wanted an innovative design to allow workers to move around quickly with few distractions, "which sounds great until they started bonking into invisible barriers." (A job application Steve Jobs filled out in 1973 had some errors.)
