Stories below the fold

BLM riots... in Paris suburbs...

Boston Herald to the Boston Globe: NYAH NYAH NYAH NYAH.



their "Dewey defeats Truman" headline might not play well in  Beantown, especially since the Patriots came from behind and won in overtime.

Haiti is still a mess but at least they now have a new president. AlJ reports.

alJ's take on Syria:

Many of those fighting come from outside Syria. The ranks of ISIL include a sizeable number of fighters from around the world. Lebanese members of Hezbollah are fighting on the side of Assad, as are Iranian and Afghan fighters .

Madonna adopts two more orphans from Malawi. Trying to show off.

And who exactly did her home study to show she would make a good mom?
this 2009 story assures us the kids are cared for:


Sources say that because of the star’s punishing work schedule she is hugely dependent on a team of carers who look after her three children – Lourdes, Rocco and David, whom she adopted in Malawi two years ago.

compare and contrast to the movie Lion. (which hasn't been released here yet),  about a kid who got lost and ended up on the street being adopted and as a grown up, finding his birth mother.
