| Rex Tillerson looked at a statue and can't anymore as secretary of state Posted: 26 Oct 2017 02:47 PM PDT  It's not easy being President Donald Trump's secretary of state. Rex Tillerson let it slip how burnt out he is while walking through a park in Geneva, Switzerland on Thursday. SEE ALSO: Trump allegedly asked for 10 times more nukes before Tillerson called him a 'moron' As he passed a statue in the Parc Mon Repos of a person curled up into themselves with their arms wrapped around their body, Tillerson said, "Yea, some days I feel like I need to do that, curl up in a ball." Secretary of State Rex Tillerson admires an art display in Switzerland: "Some days I feel like I need to do that, curl up in a ball." pic.twitter.com/MJ331iv12M — NBC News (@NBCNews) October 26, 2017 Tillerson has been on busy trip meeting with leaders from Saudi Arabia, India, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. In Switzerland, he discussed Syria and the U.S. role in the war-torn country's government. It's a lot to take on world leadership and politics in the Middle East — Tillerson is tired. It doesn't help when your relationship with the president is fraught and on thin ice, mostly because you think the president is a moron. Curling up in a ball sounds so much better than dealing with all this. WATCH: Someone created a storm lamp that produces lightning every time Trump tweets

| U.S. belatedly begins to comply with Russia sanctions law Posted: 26 Oct 2017 04:24 PM PDT  The U.S. State Department on Thursday said it had belatedly begun informing Congress and others about groups associated with the Russian intelligence and defense sectors as required under a 2017 law tightening sanctions on Russia. The Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, which became law on Aug. 2, among other things imposes sanctions on Russia to punish Moscow because U.S. intelligence agencies concluded Russia carried out a hacking and propaganda campaign to meddle in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The law calls on the president to impose sanctions on anyone he identifies as having engaged "in a significant transaction with a person that is part of, or operates for or on behalf of, the defense or intelligence sectors" of the Russian government.

| Should black Americans boycott American Airlines? | Steven W Thrasher Posted: 26 Oct 2017 03:00 AM PDT  The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has issued a travel advisory warning African-American travels against the airline. After a months-long investigation found "a pattern of disturbing incidents reported by African American passengers, specific to American Airlines," the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has issued a "national advisory alerting travelers – especially African Americans – to exercise caution, in that booking and boarding flights on American Airlines could subject them disrespectful, discriminatory or unsafe conditions". This is a wise move for the venerable civil rights organization, as boycotting or threatening to boycott companies – especially airlines in regards to racism — is the only way to push reforms and seek an end to racial profiling, micro-aggressions, and outright violence.

| Japan's automakers tuning up to rekindle youthful passion for cars Posted: 26 Oct 2017 02:19 AM PDT  The unassuming rest stop is famous to car enthusiasts as a temple of the country's motor culture, but it also illustrates a "youth" problem that auto companies such as Toyota Motor Corp and Nissan Motor Co are scrambling to address. The crowd last Friday - around 50 supercar fans who huddled around the back of a loading truck to get a first glimpse of the latest Lamborghini Huracan Performante delivered days before to collector Takeshi Kimura - were mainly men in their 40s and 50s. "Today's young people, they came of age during the recession, and some of them didn't grow up with a family car," said Kimura, who has earned a reputation on Japanese social media as an ambassador of car culture thanks to stunts including coasting his Ferrari F40 down ski slopes and racing his supercars around a driving school practice course.

Party mouthpieces have all refrained from using the carrier's former name, Varyag – no surprise, given that the Liaoning was a rusty, semi-scrap hull from Ukraine before it was given a new lease of life (and renamed after the northeastern province where the ship underwent a seven-year refit).
