Port-au-Prince, Haiti — Desperate efforts continued on Tuesday to save a group of missionaries, most of them Americans, being held for ransom by a criminal gang in Haiti. FBI agents were working with local authorities in the tiny Caribbean nation to find the 16 U.S. nationals and one Canadian who were kidnapped on Saturday. Haiti's justice minister said the gang was asking for $1 million each — $17 million dollars in total — to release the missionaries, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. The missionaries, from an Ohio-based Christian organization, were abducted just outside the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince. CBS

Comments:

Biden will probably give the kidnappers free passage into the US - plus the $17 million.

How long has everyone been trying to help Haiti? The country is a complete failure. How can the DR which shares the same island be relatively peaceful, safe, and prosperous while Haiti is still nothing but corruption and squalor?

Since someone knows exactly who these "gang members" are, I suggest the Haitian government just kidnap their entire families and then arrange a trade. Of course, no government has the cojones to fight fire with fire and that is why the evil will ALWAYS win.

LOS ANGELES - Southern California's Los Angeles and Long Beach ports handle the most ocean cargo of any ports in the United States, but are some of the least efficient in the world, according to a ranking by the World Bank and IHS Markit. In a review of 351 container ports around the globe, Los Angeles was ranked 328, behind Tanzania's Dar es Salaam and Alaska's Dutch Harbor. The adjacent port of Long Beach came in even lower, at 333, behind Turkey's Nemrut Bay and Kenya's Mombasa, the groups said in their inaugural Container Port Performance Index published in May. The

MONTPELIER, Vt. — Gov. Phil Scott is asking residents to take personal responsibility to help reduce a continuing spike in active COVID-19 infections, a surprise given Vermont's position as the nation's most-vaccinated state. Vermont has seen 921 new infections and four new deaths over the last four days. Scott said the cycle of the delta variant of the virus, which arrived later in Vermont than in southern states, may explain part of the stubborn surge in active cases. Scott said he hopes cases wane in a week or two. In the meantime, Scott is again asking residents to get a booster

Despite President Joe Biden's goal to move cargo around the clock in Los Angeles ports, the gates remained shut on Sunday with a smattering of open traffic on Saturday. The nationwide port schedule app Pier Trucker showed terminals that looked like ghost towns Sunday with barren traffic lanes as additional cargo ships continue to pile up along the coastlines of Los Angeles and Orange counties. On Friday, 88 ships were waiting to dock at either Long Beach or Los Angeles harbors — 10 additional ships from the last count on Oct. 13, according to the Marine Exchange of Southern California.

Catsimatidis, who is the president of Gristedes and D'Agostino Foods, discussed his concerns about inflation and supply chain issues on FOX Business’ "Mornings with Maria," and warned companies like Nabisco, Pepsi and Coke will begin to prioritize products and raise prices in order to get ahead.

While the report said the chain has experienced retail theft, other factors like the COVID-19 pandemic and oversaturation of stores were cited as potential factors behind the decision to close the stores. Walgreens spokesperson Phil Caruso said retail theft across its San Francisco locations has increased in the past few months to five times the

Planeloads of underage migrants are being flown secretly into suburban New York in an effort by President Biden’s administration to quietly resettle them across the region, The Post has learned. The charter flights originate in Texas, where the ongoing border crisis has overwhelmed local immigration officials, and have been underway since at least August, according to sources familiar with the matter. Last week, The Post saw two planes land at the Westchester County Airport, where most of the passengers who got off appeared to be children and teens, with a small portion appearing to be men in their 20s.

Some of them do admit that — when they’re cornered. I’m thinking of Dan Crenshaw being confronted by an election truther at a fundraiser in August and telling the guy that he was kidding himself if he believed there was such widespread fraud that it flipped the result in multiple states. There’s a cohort of hardcore populists within the House GOP whose loyalty to Trump is such that they’ll eagerly parrot any conspiracy theory he likes but most GOP reps who are asked about this tend to mumble something noncommittal about “election integrity” and “unanswered questions” before changing the subject.

The new proposal will still allow the IRS to access information on accounts that transfer or receive more than $10,000 annually.
