The United States has confirmed North Korea has used chemical weapons,... which according

to AP,... is a clear reference to last year's killing of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's

half-brother Kim Jong-nam at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

The State Department's determination was posted on the website of the Federal Register on

Friday,... roughly a year after Kim Jong-nam was killed in a VX nerve agent attack.

The designation means the North would be banned from receiving U.S. foreign aid, financial

assistance, and other exports,... but the North is already subject to such restrictions.

This official determination will take effect from Monday.

The Tomah VA Let Us Down - Duration: 1:37.

My name is Jean Fink.

I'm married to Mark Fink

who is a retired Lieutenant Commander

from the United States Navy.

Mark is a very caring and conscientious, loving man.

He feels deeply about his fellow vets.

My name is Mark Fink and I live in Tomah Wisconsin.

I took a job at the VA to continue

what I figured was my mission continuing taking care of my buddies.

but then I was also a patient there too.

When I turned 60 years old,

I had depression, PTSD, chronic anxiety disorder.

Their way of treating me for the depression

was to just give me more medication.

It's started with two, then it started with three,

then it started with five. Then he was up to seven.

We had medications coming in the mail

every single week from the Tomah VA.

I know what was happening with me was happening

was happening with everybody. I could see it.

Pain management is a very complicated kind of thing

you can't throw a bunch of pills at it

and expect it to be managed.

Guys were, you would see them come in and they

they were just kind of shuffling along, you know

cause they were just so zoned out on whatever they were on.

The Tomah VA didn't listen.

They were deaf to what was going on.

They just ignored a lot of it.

The vets paid the price. The families paid the price.

They do not deserve the treatment that they have received there.

The Tomah VA let us down.

Puerto Ricans become US citizens to fight in WWI - 3/2/1917 - Duration: 0:57.

- Today in military history, 1917,

President Woodrow Wilson grants U.S. citizenship

to Puerto Ricans and calls upon them

to serve in World War I.

Puerto Rico had been a territory of the United States

since 1898 when the U.S. defeated Spain

in the Spanish-American War.

On March 2, 1917,

Wilson signed the Jones-Shafroth Act,

which granted statutory citizenship,

created a bill of rights for the territory,

and separated its government into three branches.

Two months later, Wilson signed

a compulsory military service act.

By July of 1917,

236,000 Puerto Ricans were registered for the draft

and nearly 20,000 would serve in the great war.

Puerto Rico would defend the Panama Canal

and serve on the western front,

and Puerto Ricans would faithfully

continue to serve in the U.S. armed forces,

including World War II, the Korean War,

Vietnam, the Gulf War, and in post-9/11 conflicts.

Did Melania Trump Get A US Visa Thanks To This Photo? - Duration: 4:07.

Melania Trump née Knauss could have secured US residency thanks to a GQ photo shoot in

January 2000, which might end up being the most politically important magazine photo

shoot in recent history.

Since we republished the photographs of Melania Knauss in early 2016 - featuring the then-girlfriend

of Donald Trump appearing scantily dressed on the wing of his private Boeing 727, wielding

a silver M1911 pistol - the photo shoot has been ever-present in the US national consciousness.

It sparked a vicious argument between Republican candidate Ted Cruz and Trump; was Googled

tens of millions of times by curious Americans; and ended up on the list of things that Melania

Trump is most proud of on her White House biography page as First Lady of the United

States.

Now the Washington Post reports that this photo shoot might have helped Melania Knauss

secure permanent residency in the United States under a visa program designed for Oscar-winners,

Olympic athletes and nuclear physicists.

Only those with "extraordinary abilities" or who have demonstrated "sustained national

and international acclaim" are able to secure an EB-1 Visa, created under the US Immigration

Act of 1990, which Melania was granted in late 2001.

It was in 2000 that Melania Knauss applied for such a visa: at the time, her notable

achievements were the aforementioned GQ photo shoot, appearances on runways at fashion shows

in Europe and a spot in the swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated.

In 2001, she was granted one of only 3,376 EB-1 visas, a fraction of the one million

green cards issued that year.

Ironically, Melania is now using this visa to secure legal residency for her parents,

something that her husband President Trump has criticised immigrants for doing.

Melania Trump entered the United States in 2001 after receiving a green card visa designated

for people with "extraordinary ability," according to a new Washington Post report.

The wife to President Trump was one of only five people from Slovenia who entered the

United States in March of 2001 under the EB-1 program, which has been described as the "Einstein

visa."

This detail surrounding the first lady's immigration journey comes after Melania's own parents

recently faced criticism for potentially relying on an immigration process referred to by some

as "chain migration" that their son in law wants to end.

In the late '90s and earlier 2000's, a then Melania Knauss could be seen gracing runway

shows in Europe, billboard cigarette ads and the pages of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit

edition.

The EB-1 program, which was written into U.S. immigration policy via the Immigration Act

of 1990, was built to let in researchers, business executives and others who demonstrated

"sustained national and international acclaim."

According to the Post, over one million green cards were granted in 2001 alone, and only

3,376 were issued to immigration with "extraordinary ability."

"Mrs. Trump was more than amply qualified and solidly eligible," Michael Wildes, an

attorney for Melania Trump and her family said to the Post.

"There is no reason to adjudicate her petition publicly when her privacy is so important

to her."

After ordering the end to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy -- which will

effectively cease to exist as policy on March 5 -- President Trump has tweeted many times

about immigration as he and Capitol Hill lawmakers attempt to find middle ground on issues surrounding

national security, border wall protection and the status of an estimated 3.6 million

"DREAMers" who brought to the U.S. undocumented as children.

How I conspired with Ali against US, Gowon 43 years ago - Obasanjo opens up - Duration: 3:59.

A former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has revealed a 43-year old secret held dearly between him and a former federal commissioner for education, Amadu Ali.

Obasanjo during the launch of Ali's biography, "Many Colours Of A Rainbow", at the Shehu Yar' Adua Centre, Abuja on Thursday, March 1, revealed how he conspired with Ali to occupy a building used by a United States agency, The Nation reports.

He said Ali had approached him (Obasanjo) to seek for intervention over the building in 1975 because, he (Ali), a then commissioner for education needed the building.

Obasanjo said he mobilised soldiers to the building used as an operational office for the agency as early as 4am. The soldiers barricaded the building, prevented staff of the agency from gaining access into the building.

Obasanjo said: "So a few days after, I conspired with Amadu and mobilised troops to surround the building as early as 4am.

When the officials of the agency came to report for work in the morning, soldiers prevented them from entering the building. That was how I seized the building for Ahmadu and his staff.

Then hell was let loose. The United States government protested the action, which sparked a bitter diplomatic row between the U.S. and the then Federal Military Government, headed by Gen. Gowon.

Consequently, Obasanjo was summoned to Dodan Barracks, where he said he was tongue-lashed by Gowon and other superior officers at the time. I was scolded and dressed down by General Gowon and other superior officers for my actions.

I was seriously washed down.. He said the then military head of state, Yakubu Gowon, was furious over his actions and tongue lashed him then. Obasanjo added that Gowon was shocked when the revelation was made.

"General Gowon was shocked earlier this morning when I told him that it was actually Ahmadu that instigated the action.

He asked me why I did not say it then and I told him that I did not want to expose my friend, Obasanjo said.

Confirming Obasanjos story, Gowon who was also present at the event as the father of the day said: "That incident caused us serious embarrassment and I really tongue-lashed Obasanjo.

But for his good service record, he would have been made to face the consequences. It's only this morning that he confessed to me that Ahmadu Ali was deeply involved in that action..

He also narrated his student days at the Barewa College, Zaria with Ali. Gowon said: That Ahmadu Ali you see there is a short man devil but very intelligent..

we earlier reported that Ali had revealed the role Obasanjo played in ensuring that the past president Goodluck Jonathan became a running mate to late Umaru YarAdua.

Ali said Jonathan preferred to remain a governor of Bayelsa state and never wanted to become a vice president of the country.

He said YarAdua who was selected to run for presidency under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party choose Jonathan as his running mate.
