The New York Times began its 9/11 coverage this year with an avian appeal. The 9/11 tribute lights, they claim, are putting 160,000 birds at risk every year.
Apparently the “Tribute in Light” — two columns created by 88 searchlights — is affecting the migratory patterns of our winged friends.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday warned terrorists not to return to the United States, during a 9/11 commemoration ceremony at the Pentagon
The U.S. will not grant temporary protected status to people from the Bahamas displaced by Hurricane Dorian, an administration official told NBC News.
The status would allow Bahamians to work and live in the U.S. until it is deemed safe to return home. The same status is currently granted to over 300,000 people living in the U.S. from 10 countries, including the victims of Haiti’s 2010 earthquake.

After the Mueller report fiasco, one would think the media who don’t like Trump would be more careful with their reporting, and before reporting it. But they just keep at it.
In the process, as quoted above, through their false reporting and false claims, it’s they who are endangering lives, not Donald Trump:
Brittany Bramell, the CIA director of public affairs, told CNN:
“CNN’s narrative that the Central Intelligence Agency makes life-or-death decisions based on anything other than objective analysis and sound collection is simply false. Misguided speculation that the President’s handling of our nation’s most sensitive intelligence—which he has access to each and every day—drove an alleged exfiltration operation is inaccurate.” [..]
White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said,
“CNN’s reporting is not only incorrect, it has the potential to put lives in danger.”
On July 22, Rachel Maddow claimed on air that OANN was “literally paid Russian programming.”
Maddow, at best, grossly exaggerated a report from a Daily Beast article that OANN correspondent Kristian Brunovich Rouz was also writing for the Russian news outlet Sputnik.
