The warships are leaving Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia after the Navy issued a “sortie code alpha” earlier this week. Sortie code alpha is the Navy’s way of telling its ships to get out of Dodge, immediately. Footage of the behemoth warships lumbering out of port was uploaded to the Navy’s YouTube channel. Although a few ships were stuck in port due to maintenance issues, they will be safeguarded by extra precautions according to a release by the Navy. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDrczzCcK-w

Welcome to Finest News. Subscribe to the channel at https://goo.gl/VjHw6T September 11th is a day for Americans to come together in solidarity, to remember that what binds us together is stronger than the forces trying to tear us apart. This year — more so than any other year since the horrific terror attacks in New York — the United States feels divided. We are led by a president who seems to have a vested interest in driving wedges between us, in reducing us to petty tribal squabbling between race, class, and political affiliation. This morning, Lou Dobbs, one of Trump’s slobbering media attack dogs, went afer President Obama’s former Attorney General Eric Holder by claiming that if he were still running the Justice Department currently it would be “behaving no differently.” Presumably, Dobbs is trading on the widespread impression in Trumpland that Holder was corrupt and partisan and is using his name as shorthand to attack Jeff Sessions, who Trump has long been displeased with. In essence, he’s saying things couldn’t be any worse at the DOJ, not even if Eric Holder were running it. It was a cheap, dishonest sentiment. Trump himself tweeted out Dobbs’s unprovoked jab, refusing to abandon his brand of petty political bickering even on a day like today. The man is incapable of understanding or simply doesn’t care that what Americans want from their president today is a message of strength and unity. Instead he’s giving us more reality television drama. Eric Holder, never one to hold his tongue when it comes to criticising the current president, quickly shot back. He correctly stated that today is “not a day for the usual unhinged Trump politics.” Instead, Holder said we should use today to reflect on the American lives lost on 9/11 and on the sacrifices of the courageous first responders who died on that fateful day. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJeAUV2KcR8

The worst thing imaginable for Democrats is happening right now. It appears as if the Kavanaugh accuser is getting cold feet about testifying. It’s been 36 hours and she has not responded to the invitation to testify under oath. The Hill Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said on Tuesday that a woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault hasn’t confirmed that she will testify publicly next week. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CeqRPnxkRg

Subscribe to the channel at https://goo.gl/VjHw6T Empress Nur Jahan was the most powerful woman in 17th Century India. She played an unprecedented role in running the vast Mughal empire. Historian Ruby Lal explains why the history of her leadership is important to understand today. She was named Mihr un-Nisa at birth and was later named Nur Jahan (light of the world) by her husband, the Mughal emperor, Jahangir. She was born only a few decades after Queen Elizabeth I, yet she ruled a territory far more diverse than that of her British counterpart. The Mughals ruled much of the Indian subcontinent for more than 300 years after they came to power early in the 16th century. It was one of India's biggest and most powerful dynasties. Many of its emperors and royal women, including Nur Jahan, were patrons of art, music and architecture - they built grand cities and majestic forts, mosques and tombs. And as the dynast's only woman ruler, Nur Jahan is omnipresent in the folklore of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdHJg-wV5BI
