Undercover inspectors in Nashville, Tenn., say that a building registered as a church is being operated as a sex club. The city last week took action to try to close the business. When the longtime swingers club moved in 2015, it called itself a church because the current location is near the back of a Christian school. Building inspectors paid $40 to enter the club in March and filed affidavits detailing sex acts they witnessed. (AP)
Police said a woman in Bangor, Maine, who offers a semi-nude cleaning service was arrested for allegedly shoplifting “naughty” underwear. The incident prompted a Bangor police sergeant to post a 700-word essay on the department’s Facebook page in which he mused about her “business wardrobe” and urged potential customers of “Topless Cleaning” to be cautious, since she had previous run-ins with the law.

A middle school in Dorset, England, has banned students from its playing field and canceled its annual Sports Day because of a plague of rabbits, The Mirror (U.K.) reported Sunday. The rabbits have dug so many holes that the field is unsafe — despite the use of ferrets, gas and even guns to try to cull the rabbit colony. “As fast as we fill the holes, more are dug,” head teacher Craig Watson said in a letter to parents.

THE DISTRICT Nils Lofgren, the lead guitarist of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, came through with a new anthem for Washington Wizards fans just in time for tonight’s Game 7 of the team’s playoff series with the Boston Celtics. “Wizards Fever” is a remix of the original hit, “Bullets Fever,” by the 65-year-old musician and longtime area basketball fan. “Bullets Fever,” of course, was an ode to the 1978 championship team that beat the Seattle SuperSonics in seven games. While many of the lyrics are the same (for example, just as Lofgren sang “Bullets fever happens to [him] every year,” now it’s “Wizards fever happens to [him] every year”), there is at least one key difference: the specific shout-out to the pivotal place in which the Wizards now find themselves. “Wizards fever, we’re off to

White nationalists with torches rally to defend Confederate sculpture CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. Self-proclaimed white nationalist Richard Spencer led a large group of demonstrators carrying torches and chanting, “You will not replace us” on Saturday in Charlottesville, protesting plans to remove a Confederate monument that has played an outsize role in this year’s race for Virginia governor. “What brings us together is that
we are white, we are a people, we will not be replaced,” Spencer said at the first of two rallies. At the second rally, dozens of torch-bearing protesters gathered in a city park Saturday evening and chanted, “Russia is our friend,” local television footage showed. Spencer was not shown addressing that gathering, but he tweeted a photo of himself standing in the crowd carrying what appeared to be a bamboo tiki torch. The evening protest was shortlived. About 10 minutes in, an altercation between Spencer’s

E. Lee. An injunction has halted the removal for six months. Mayor Mike Signer called the protest either “profoundly ignorant” or aimed at instilling fear in “minority populations in a way that hearkens back to the days of the KKK.”
The Daily Progress reported that Charlottesville Republican Party Chairman Erich Reimer said the group’s promotion of “intolerance and hatred” is “utterly disgusting and disturbing beyond words.” LAURA VOZZELLA (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)

A judge on Friday read from a psychiatric report on Jasper Spires, 20, who is accused of killing Kevin Sutherland in 2015. The doctors say Spires may have suffered from mental illness, but that it wasn’t so severe that he should be found not criminally responsible. They found that Spires is now competent to assist his defense at trial. (AP)

Hogan urges feds to halt new, noisy flight patterns
A driver who pleaded guilty to causing a crash that killed five people in Maryland skipped out on his sentencing. The Prince George’s County state’s attorney’s office said Kenneth Kelley didn’t show up for his sentencing hearing Friday. Kelley pleaded guilty in March to charges including five counts of vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence. A judge issued a warrant for Kelley’s arrest. (AP)
Police said two women were killed and a man was seriously injured in a shooting on a highway in Virginia. Virginia State Police said a car carrying seven people was driving north on I-95 in Richmond early Sunday when another car pulled along the driver’s side and fired shots. Police are calling the shooting a “targeted incident.” They’re urging anyone with information about the shooting to contact authorities. (AP)
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan says new flight paths at the area’s airports are bothering residents. Hogan said in a letter to the Federal Aviation Administration that the flight paths at BWI and Reagan National have “dramatically” increased noise levels for nearby residents. Hogan said that while the system will save money for the airlines, he won’t let residents “pay a human cost with their health and emotional well-being.” (AP)

nation+world Haley warns N. Korea that this is not the path to meeting with Trump
New policy by Sessions: Seek toughest sentences
NATIONAL SECURITY If Kim Jong Un wants to meet President Trump, he’s going about it the wrong way, Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said Sunday after North Korea’s latest missile launch. The missile appeared to have a significantly longer range than others North Korea has tested recently, analysts said, suggesting Kim’s regime had tested a new kind of rocket, perhaps a precursor to an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the mainland United States. This latest provocation coincided with the opening in Beijing of a forum to discuss Chinese
President Xi Jinping’s ambitious “Belt and Road” development project. It could encourage China to use its leverage over North Korea to stop the missile and nuclear tests, as Trump has been urging Xi to do. While talking tough at times, Trump has also called Kim a “smart cookie” and said he would be “honored” to meet the North Korean leader. A North Korean diplomat in charge of U.S. affairs said over the weekend that Pyongyang would hold talks with Washington “under the right conditions.” But Haley, speaking Sunday after the latest missile launch, said talks could not take place while such provocations continued. “Having a missile test is not the way to sit down with the president because he’s absolutely

not going to do it,” Haley told “This Week” on ABC. “Until he meets our conditions, we’re not sitting down with him.” During the past couple of years, North Korea has said it would hold
talks with the U.S. — as long as denuclearization was not on the agenda, a deal breaker for Washington. Meanwhile, Washington has said it will not hold talks without some kind of nuclear freeze or suspension from North Korea. That has led to a stalemate in which the Obama administration and now the Trump administration have refused to talk, and the regime in Pyongyang has pressed ahead with its weapons programs. The latest missile test came just five days after South Korea elected a president who expressed a desire to reach out to North Korea. The launch jeopardizes South Korean President Moon Jae-in’s willingness for dialogue with the North, and came as U.S., Japanese and European navies gather for joint war games in the Pacific. (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)
Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Friday he has directed federal prosecutors to pursue the severest penalties possible, including mandatory minimum sentences, in a step toward a return to the war on drugs of the 1980s and ’90s that resulted in long sentences for many minority defendants and packed U.S. prisons. Civil rights groups and some GOP lawmakers criticized the change. It reverses former Attorney General Eric Holder’s policy; he had his prosecutors avoid charging certain defendants with offenses that would trigger long mandatory minimum sentences.

Trump’s lawyers deny recent Russian income Lawyers for President Trump said Friday that a review of his last 10 years of tax returns did not reflect “any income of any type from Russian sources,” but their letter included exceptions related to previously cited income from a beauty pageant and the sale of a Florida estate. The letter represented the latest attempt by the president to tamp down concerns about any Russian ties. The attorneys did not release copies of Trump’s tax returns or any supporting documents. (AP)

Merkel’s party wins election in heartland of its rivals
Hundreds of rebels and their families began leaving a northeastern neighborhood of Damascus and heading toward rebel-held areas in northern Syria on Sunday, in another step that would eventually bring all parts of the capital under the control of President Bashar al-Assad’s forces, state media and activists said. The evacuations from Qaboun came a day after government forces and their allies captured most of the area from insurgents who had maintained a presence in the neighborhood for four years. The departures come days after hundreds of rebels were evacuated from nearby Barzeh and Tishrin. (AP)
Millions of Nepalese voted Sunday for representatives in municipal and village councils for the first time in two decades, a sign that the country’s fractious democracy may be stabilizing. Crucial local posts have been occupied by governmentappointed bureaucrats because elections could not be held amid a 10-year communist insurgency and years of delays in drafting a new constitution. Chief Election Commissioner Ayodhee Prasad Yadav said one person was killed as police fired in a clash at a polling station, but that voting was peaceful in the rest of the country. Turnout was estimated at 71 percent. (AP)
Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives won a state election Sunday in their center-left rivals’ traditional heartland, a stinging blow to the German leader’s challenger in September’s national vote. The western state of North Rhine-Westphalia is Germany’s most populous and has been led by the center-left Social Democrats for all but five years since 1966. It is also the home state of Martin Schulz, the challenger seeking to deny Merkel a fourth term in the Sept. 24 election. Projections showed Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union beating the Social Democrats by 33 percent or more to around 31 percent. (AP)

Experts: Cyberattack havoc could grow Some 150 countries hit by malicious software demanding ransom TECHNOLOGY An unprecedented “ransomware” cyberattack that has already hit tens of thousands of victims in 150 countries could wreak even more havoc today as people return to their desks and power up their computers at the start of the workweek. Experts and officials Sunday urged organizations and companies to update their operating
systems immediately to ensure they aren’t vulnerable to a second, more powerful version of the malicious software. The cyberattack paralyzed computers that run Britain’s hospital network, Germany’s national railway, Russia’s Interior Ministry and scores of other government agencies and companies worldwide, including FedEx Corp. in the U.S. Chinese media reported Sunday that students at several universities were hit. The attack, already believed to be the biggest online extortion scheme recorded, is an
“escalating threat” after hitting 200,000 victims since Friday, said Rob Wainwright, the head of Europol, Europe’s policing agency. “The numbers are still going up,” he said.

How it was stopped A young British cybersecurity researcher’s accidental discovery of a so-called “kill switch” stopped the software from spreading further. The 22-year-old researcher known as “MalwareTech” said he spotted a hidden web address in the code and redirected the attacks to the server of Kryptos Logic, the security company where he works, which kept the malware from escaping. But MalwareTech said he was looking into a possible second wave of attacks, saying it would be “easy” to bypass the way they stopped it. (AP)

Clapper: Government ‘eroding’ under Trump Former intel chief says Comey firing is attack on checks and balances
Hostel in Berlin is a cash cow for North Korea
James Clapper, former director of national intelligence, said Sunday that American democracy is “under assault.”
no White House aide appeared on the Sunday news shows to discuss Trump’s firing. Lawmakers from both parties criticized Trump’s actions last week, which included shifting explanations from the White House for Comey’s dismissal and an ominous tweet by Trump that warned Comey against leaks to the press because he may have “tapes” of their conversations. The lawmakers urged Trump to select a new FBI director without any political background and said the president would need to hand over to Congress any taped conversations with Comey, if they exist. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, a member of the Judiciary Committee, said promoting an FBI agent to lead the agency would allow the nation to “reset.” He dismissed at least two of the 14 candidates under consideration by Trump, former Rep.
An ‘outrageous’ claim Virginia Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, called President Trump’s remarks about possible taped conversations with former FBI Director James Comey “outrageous,” and said his panel or another congressional committee would “absolutely” subpoena the tapes. “We have got to make sure that these tapes, if they exist, don’t mysteriously disappear,” he said. Warner also said he hopes to have Comey testify in a public hearing before his committee. (AP)
Mike Rogers of Michigan and Sen. John Cornyn of Texas. Rogers, an ex-FBI agent and former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, has drawn the backing of the FBI Agents Association. Cornyn is the No. 2 Republican in the Senate.
Trump tells Liberty graduates to “be an outsider” in his first commencement address as president
“It’s now time to pick somebody who comes from within the ranks, or has such a reputation that has no political background at all that can go into the job on Day 1,” Graham said. Asked whether it was the right time to have someone such as Rogers or Cornyn, Graham flatly said, “no.” “The president has a chance to clean up the mess he mostly created,” he added. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York said the new FBI director should certainly be someone “not of partisan background.” He left open the possibility that Democrats might try to withdraw support for a new FBI director unless the Justice Department names a special prosecutor. Under rules of the Senate, Republicans could still confirm an FBI director with 51 votes. Republicans hold 52 seats in the chamber to Democrats’ 48. HOPE YEN (AP)

NATIONAL SECURITY American democracy is separately “under assault” from President Trump and Russia, a former U.S. intelligence chief warned Sunday, expressing dismay over the abrupt firing of FBI director James Comey amid a probe into Moscow’s meddling in U.S. elections and possible ties with the Trump campaign. As Trump works to fast-track Comey’s successor, lawmakers from both parties urged him to steer clear of any politicians for the job. “I think, in many ways, our institutions are under assault, both externally — and that’s the big news here, is the Russian interference in our election system,” said James Clapper, the director of national intelligence under former President Barack Obama. “I think as well our institutions are under assault internally.” When he was asked, “Internally, from the president?” Clapper said, “Exactly.” Clapper spoke following Trump’s sudden firing of Comey last week, which drew sharp criticism because it came amid the FBI’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. Clapper said America’s founding fathers had created three co-equal branches of government with checks and balances, but with Trump as president, that was now under assault and “eroding.” The White House had no immediate comment on Clapper’s remarks on a morning in which
WASHINGTONPOST.COM WORLDVIEWS
Berlin’s City Hostel looks like a cheap option for staying in the German capital. It’s not far from landmarks such as the Brandenburg Gate, and a bed costs only about $20. But the City Hostel indirectly benefits the regime of Kim Jong Un, making unsuspecting tourists into involuntary financiers of a totalitarian state. The property is owned by the Kim regime. It was a gift from the communist government of the former East Germany. North Korea does not operate the business, but it receives tens of thousands of dollars every year in rent from both the hostel and a conference center there. But last Wednesday, the German government announced plans to shut down the hostel and the conference center. Britain and Germany have recently cracked down on companies associated with the regime. “It is particularly important that we dry out the sources of funding for the nuclear weapons program,” said Markus Ederer, the state secretary of Germany’s Federal Foreign Office. The decision follows a November U.N. resolution that says members should ban North Korea from using diplomatic real estate as a revenue source. There isn’t a closing date for the hostel yet. For now, booking websites show that the hostel is sold out on many nights over the coming months. RICK NOACK

JERRY BREWER | THE WASHINGTON POST
Blissfully naive: Inexperience can help the Wizards After The Shot, Wizards coach Scott Brooks walked into a joyful locker room already thinking about the next challenge. “What’s the two best words in playoff basketball?” Brooks asked his team Friday night shortly after John Wall hit the 3-pointer that downed the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. There was a pause. “Game 7, right?” They’ll have to take his word for it. Only three players on Washington’s roster have experienced a Game 7. Centers Marcin Gortat and Ian Mahinmi and backup point guard Brandon Jennings have played five of them. Together they
have logged just 102 minutes and three seconds performing on that magical, manic stage. Boston will have to trust Brooks’ answer, too. The Celtics are the NBA’s most storied franchise, but this year’s group is appropriately green. Boston has four players who know what this game is about: Al Horford, Jae Crowder, Amir Johnson and Gerald Green. Coach Brad Stevens, also a newbie, can’t even give a speech about it. “There’s a lot of power in having some naiveté,” Stevens said at the start of this series, and those words ring truest now with so much at stake. Tonight will frame how we discuss a budding rivalry with long-term potential. This game could enhance the star power of Wall and Isaiah Thomas,
who are still underappreciated even though it’s now popular to lament that they’re underappreciated. It could determine the pecking order of the young teams that could run the East once the Cavs’ time is done. And, for the Wizards, it’s another opportunity to free the District of despair: It’s been 19 years since a D.C. team made it to the conference finals in the NBA, NHL, NFL or MLB. (The Capitals reached the Stanley Cup Final in 1998.) The Wizards don’t have the same level of “You always blow it!” playoff pressure that burdens their peers. This is just the seventh playoff appearance for the Wizards during the 19-year drought. During that time, they hadn’t been higher than a No. 5 seed, which means they hadn’t enjoyed home-court advantage. And when they’ve lost in the playoffs, you’ve understood why. Dwyane Wade led Miami past them in 2005. LeBron James and Cleveland eliminated them three straight years (2006-08). In 2014, they fell to the top-seeded Pacers. And in 2015, they lost to the top-seeded Hawks, with Wall missing time because of a broken hand.
Si Woo Kim, 21, is youngest to win The Players, claims second PGA Tour title with 3-under 69
Wizards at Celtics Game 7: 8 tonight, TNT The winner faces the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals.
Hopes didn’t rise to dangerous levels. The Wizards were still trying to awaken the city from apathy of years of being safely irrelevant. Then this series started, and it became clear the Wizards were worthy of expectations. After Wall buried a 3-pointer to extend the series, they finally inspired some inescapable belief. They also inspired some fear. Was Wall’s 26-footer a chance for a D.C. sports breakthrough? Or was it merely another reprieve? That’s what Jayson Werth’s Game 4 walkoff homer turned out to be in 2012. That is what the Capitals’ rally from a 3-1 deficit turned out to be last week. If the Wizards wanted to overthink the magnitude of Game 7, there would be plenty of fodder. But they’re about as unburdened as any local team can be in this situation.

Bryce Harper hits his 12th homer of the year in the first of two games Sunday against the Phillies.

player it would otherwise aim to please. For Harper, the process is particularly complicated, largely because of a lack of precedent from which to draw a salary figure. “He’s a very unique player,” Rizzo said. “That’s difficult to come up with a person that’s 24 years old with an MVP on his belt and a bunch of All-Star games
and Silver Sluggers — lot of hardware at 24 years old, and with the arrow still pointing north.” When it comes to Harper, the arrow has always seemed to point to the winter of 2018, when he will probably become the most high-profile free agent since Alex Rodriguez. Harper’s long-term future did not become any clearer after he agreed to his 2018 salary. Both sides insist they did not discuss anything beyond his arbitration-eligible years. By agreeing on an $8 million raise from Harper’s current salary, the Nationals may or may not have fostered goodwill as Harper approaches free agency. But with a deal for next year in place, the team ensured that its next negotiation with Harper, should it have one, will be for a contract that would keep him in D.C. beyond 2018.

Shoulder pain could keep Chapman out for a month Unable to pitch through pain in his left shoulder that had bothered him for weeks, Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman went on the disabled list Sunday and likely will miss at least a month. Chapman, 29, had an MRI on Saturday, a day after getting just two outs and giving up a run in the ninth inning of a 5-1 loss to the Astros. New York said in a statement that Chapman, a four-time All-Star, has rotator cuff inflammation in his shoulder. Manager Joe Girardi called it tendinitis and bursitis. (AP)

KATHY WILLENS (AP)
MITCHELL LAYTON (GETTY IMAGES)
MLB The Nationals and Bryce Harper agreed to terms Saturday on a salary of $21.625 million for the 2018 season, eliminating the need for arbitration and promising Harper the highest salary for an arbitration-eligible player in major league history. Mike Trout’s $20.083 million on his long-term deal with the Angels was the previous mark. The highest one-year deal for an arbitration-eligible player was David Price’s $19.75 million with the Tigers in 2015. Harper’s deal eliminates the need for negotiation this winter, and therefore reduces the risk of hostility between the 2015 NL MVP and the team that drafted him. He is expected to hit the open market after next season. “I think it’s huge,” Harper said of the deal. “We’re able to go into the offseason and worry about different things.” When Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo and Harper’s agent, Scott Boras, settled on Harper’s 2017 salary of $13.625 million last winter, they left 2018 negotiations for later. Those talks resumed in the last few weeks, as Harper told Boras to do a deal for 2018 if the Nationals were still willing. As Harper has flashed MVP form again early this year, the Nationals were willing. Arbitration requires the player and the club to submit salary figures ahead of a hearing in which, if no settlement is reached, puts compensation in the hands of a panel of arbitrators. It can be a contentious, awkward process in which a team benefits from playing down the abilities of a

MUST-SEE THIS WEEK
1 ‘Tracy Morgan: Staying Alive’ Tuesday on Netflix
In his first comedy special since his serious car accident in 2014, Tracy Morgan takes the stage at New Jersey’s Count Basie Theatre to crack — sometimes dark — jokes about his fresh take on life.
NETFLIX
Here are the faces of two people dreading the imminent “What Are We?” talk.
Emotionally available Shining moments of human connection remain at the heart of ‘Master of None’ TV REVIEW The initial praise lavished on Aziz Ansari’s “Master of None” focused mainly on the show’s original takes on race and other states of outsiderness, seen not only from the perspective of its main character, Dev Shah (Ansari), but also in the slights and micro-aggressions experienced by those within Dev’s circle: immigrant parents; friends of other races and sexual orientations; a white girlfriend; and even the strangers he meets on the street.
Yet “Master of None,” which returned to Netflix for a second season last Friday, is just as noteworthy for being one of the chillest shows around. Less a topical harangue and mainly just a good hang, it promotes the idea that the pursuit of happiness is right up there with life and liberty. Season 2 opens on a note of such studied ebullience that Ansari filmed the first episode in black and white, lending it the dreamy, escapist feel of classic Italian cinema. We catch up to
Dev in a suspended state of bella vita in the small city of Modena, Italy, where he’s serving as an apprentice to a pasta maker. Recall that at the end of Season 1, Dev was reeling from his breakup with Rachel (Noel Wells), and it seemed he might chase after her to Tokyo. He instead followed his own bliss (and appetite) in the opposite direction. Life is so good now that even the minor disaster of having his phone stolen plays out in a cutesy, faux-madcap manner. A visit from his friend Arnold (Eric Wareheim) begins to lure Dev back into his old life; he returns to New York and quickly finds work as the host of a dopey competition show called “Clash of the Cupcakes.” Another new thread follows Dev’s unrequited crush on Francesca (Alessandra Mastronardi), an engaged woman he met in Italy. Francesca accompanies her fiance on several trips to New York, which gives Dev plenty of time to show her the best New
York has to offer. Much is made of the potential love story here, up to and including an overlong penultimate episode that reaches for an emotional climax and, unfortunately, reveals the limits of Ansari’s acting skills. Better still — and probably this season’s real talker — is an episode titled “Thanksgiving,” which chronicles Dev’s longstanding tradition of spending the holiday at the home of his best friend, Denise (Lena Waithe). Younger actors play Dev and Denise as kids and up through their teen years in the early ’00s, as Denise considers coming out as a lesbian to her family and then brings her latest girlfriends to the holiday. It’s here that “Master of None” shines brightest, compactly presenting an array of emotional cues and natural reactions, proving once again that a quick-sketch approach can sometimes produce a full portrait.

Fox plans two more live TV musicals
Fox announced Friday a pair of live TV musicals: “A Christmas Story,” slated for December, and “Rent,” whose air date has not yet been specified. “A Christmas Story” is inspired by both the 1983 film and the Tony Award-nominated Broadway show of the same title. “Rent,” which follows New York artists struggling during a time of social and political turmoil, has nabbed Marc Platt — who produced “La La Land” and Fox’s “Grease: Live!” — as an executive producer.

“Talk Show the Game Show” (10 p.m. Wednesdays on TruTV) poses a fun question: What if talk show guests were judged on their entertainingness? In each episode, three celebrities are interviewed for three minutes by comic Guy Branum, who says he’s “best known for serving as ‘Staff Homosexual’ on ‘Chelsea Lately.’ ”
Points are awarded for stellar behavior and banter. Drinking booze gets two. So does a humblebrag (like Diablo Cody saying her Oscar for the “Juno” screenplay is “really not a big deal”). Guests who disrespect the rules (by, say, excessively selfpromoting or just being boring) are warned or ejected by the judges, TV writers Karen Kilgariff (co-host of podcast “My Favorite Murder”) and

assassinated. I forgive the lapses because the chitchat is breezy and bouncy. Introduced as an “international vegan,” Moby says his moniker was originally a “pathetic infant joke of a
name” due to his small size and kinship to Herman Melville (two points for a name drop!). He also says he’s in his 40s (two points for lying about his age). Since this is a game show, there has to be a winner. Points are tallied from the interview segment and a nutty bonus round of intellectual or physical challenges. The top point-getter won a lawn mower in one episode; the loser got 9 pounds of clams. The biggest prize is seeing celebrities be funny, at times uncomfortable — and somehow, it seems, truly themselves. Read Marc’s previous columns at washingtonpost.com/muse

single-word tweet Saturday. The tweet, which said “We,” was taken down in a few minutes, but screen shots live forever. People on Twitter wondered what Trump meant to say, and came up with their own ideas. [We] “didn’t start the fire would’ve been an amazing follow-up,” @ericakland tweeted, imagining Trump tweeting the lyrics to the Billy Joel song. Others went political, tweeting at Trump a sort of Christmas list of things they want. Twitter user @knittinglinda, for example, wants Congress to subpoena any Trump tapes, and @AdamParkhomenko wants a special prosecutor.
“Any potential attackers would be too distracted by his looks. They’d stop dead in their tracks. He is a gift.”

The Korea Times reported that Moon’s bodyguard is 36-yearold Choi Young-jae, an officer with Korea’s Special Warfare Command. Unfortunately for his new internet fan club, he is married. Twitter users expressed their admiration: “He looks like the square-jawed serious romantic lead,” @YulinKuang tweeted.
PERSONOFOPINION, a commenter at washingtonpost.com, reacting to Melissa McCarthy’s “Saturday Night Live” sketch as White House press secretary Sean Spicer. In the sketch, Spicer is paranoid that he’s going to get fired. In the end, Trump, played by Alec Baldwin, gives Spicer an exaggerated “kiss of death,” a la “The Godfather,” to signal to Spicer that his days are numbered. The real President Trump didn’t give any reaction on Twitter.

Adriana Lima and Ania Cywinska, models and exes of Mets player Matt Harvey, appear to have commented on the athlete’s recent drama. The Mets suspended Harvey for missing a game. He cited a migraine, but reports said he was upset that Lima reconnected with her ex and went partying. An Instagram user accused Lima of ruining the Mets’ season, to which Lima replied: “There is always two sides of the coin.” Cywinska posted an Instagram seemingly directed at Harvey that read, “Some people create their own storms.” Lima then followed Cywinska on Instagram.
