A disturbing video of a fake President Donald Trump shooting, assaulting and stabbing his critics and the media was played at a conference held by a pro-Trump group at his Miami resort last week, according to footage obtained by The New York Times. The video was played at Trump's National Doral Miami during an American Priority conference, and contained several internet memes including an image of Donald Trump's head superimposed on the body of someone shooting up the "Church of Fake News. The "church" was depicted as a series of Trump critics and news organizations. The video also featured a Trump 2020 reelected logo. A spokesman for Trump's campaign claims he didn't see the video, but said the campaign does not condone violence. The event's organizer says the matter is under review. Several media organizations, including CNN and The White House Correspondents' Association, have called on the President to personally denounce the video. | |  | | Fort Worth shooting
A black woman was shot and killed in her own home by a police officer this weekend, and the community wants answers. Atatiana Koquice Jefferson, 28, was killed Saturday morning after a neighbor called a non-emergency number to report the woman's front door was open. The officers were searching near the perimeter of Jefferson's home when they saw a person standing inside near a window and one of them opened fire, killing her. The incident has ignited a new flare of pain and outrage regarding the ongoing problem of police killings of black individuals. The Fort Worth Police Department released heavily-edited body cam footage a few hours after the incident, and the officer who shot Jefferson will be interviewed by the FWPD's Major Case Unit today. However, neighbors and activists have called for an independent investigation, saying the unit shouldn't be investigating the actions of their own officers. | |  | | Typhoon Hagibis
Typhoon Hagibis swept over central Japan this weekend, leaving at least 31 people dead and 186 others injured in its wake. The typhoon became the longest-lived super typhoon of 2019 last week before it made landfall, but weakened to a tropical depression on Sunday. Evacuation advisories affected tens of million of people and hundreds of thousands are still without power following its impact. To make matters more complicated, the country is hosting the World Rugby Championships. Several matches had to be preemptively canceled because of the storm. However, a pivotal match between Japan and Scotland did go ahead, with the host nation prevailing to claim a quarterfinal spot. It was a much-needed bright moment before the long, grim period of recovery sets in. | |  | | Impeachment

Iran says it has discovered a new natural gas reserve with the capacity to produce nearly 400 million barrels of gas condensate. How much money could that vast amount of gas generate? That big, red number right up there. | | |  I'm the reason there is impeachment going on. | | |  | A gourd time
