Original Article

A Maersk oil tanker has been anchored off the coast of Malta for two weeks after rescuing 27 migrants, including a child and a pregnant woman, with authorities in Malta and Tunisia denying the vessel entry, the company said on Wednesday. The crew of Maersk Etienne, an oil tanker owned by Denmark's Maersk Tankers, rescued the migrants following a request from Maltese officials on August 4, the company said. The migrants' wooden dinghy that had been at sea for days sank immediately after the rescue operation, according to Maersk Tankers.

Comments:

When you are at sea and you receive an SOS in your vicinity, you stop what you are doing and respond. Reason is if you are in need of help ??? Simple. No seafarer would EVER not do anything in their power to rescue a vessel in distress. Immigrants or otherwise. The article is true. The resources on board are limited but I will guarantee that the crew will share. These people were lucky. You can get in trouble out there with nobody within 500 miles of you.

The "migrants" put themselves in harm's way by design, knowing that they will be brought into western nations and put on welfare. Their peril is caused by liberal social policies that offer such perks, and the international do-gooder agencies that coordinate such refugee transports in order to demographically transform Europe. Start returning all "migrants" to their point of origin and watch this stop.

#1 is right. The "emergency" is fake and planned. Take them back to Africa and drop them back at home.

Can't believe the comments. I am OP. Obviously people commenting who have never been out of sight of land. You NEVER EVER not respond to a distress call because the next time it might be you.

I have been out of sight of land for days at a time, sailing a 39 foot sailboat. Yes, they should respond. But the "emergency" is intentionally created to play upon the good nature of Western culture. Yes. pick them up, and take them DIRECTLY to the nearest African port and unload them. Like the guy on the corner with the sign begging, if you offer them work or to buy them a meal, 99% will turn you down in disgust. These "migrants" want to bypass the immigration process to get to FREE STUFF in Europe so they can retire on "the dole".

Yes, the entire world is about politics. These folks set out for economic reasons to get to Europe because their country is a horrible place. They EXPECT foolish Europeans to take them in, feed them, house them and provide medical care for mothing. THAT is a political act.

Saudi Arabia has detained three senior Saudi princes including Prince Ahmed bin Abdulaziz, the younger brother of King Salman, and Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, the king's nephew, for allegedly planning a coup, sources with knowledge of the matter said.  Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, King Salman's son and de facto ruler of the country, the world's top oil exporter and a key U.S. ally, has moved to consolidate power since ousting Mohammed bin Nayef as heir to the throne in a 2017 palace coup. Later that year, he arrested several royals and other prominent Saudis, holding them for months at Riyadh's Ritz-Carlton hotel in an anti-corruption campaign that caused shockwaves at home and abroad.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
