KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) North Korea said Tuesday it was banning Malaysians from leaving the country as its bitter diplomatic battle with Malaysia escalated dramatically over the poisoning death of Kim Jong Nam, the North Korean leader's estranged half brother.

In his article, Horowitz wrote that there had been a silent coup within the intelligence agencies against Trump, and he argued for a wholesale firing of political appointees who dont share the views of the president.
Any open borders official within DOJ and DHS should be gone, he wrote. Any pro-government-run health care supporter within HHS has to go. Any official within Treasury who is not on board with the OMB spending cuts and pro-growth tax cuts should go . . .
