Britain plans to invite Trump to meet Queen Elizabeth II

British officials plan to invite President-elect Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, to meet Queen Elizabeth II next summer in an attempt to cozy up him.
The courtesy is being used as a “secret weapon” by the British government to coax Trump into securing a free-trade deal with them and to influence his thinking on NATO, Syria and foreign affairs, an insider told The Sunday Times of London.
Trump told Brexit backers last weekend that he’s “looking forward to it” because his mother always loved the queen, a government source said.

How to Train Your Brain to Fall Asleep in 60 Seconds

Image
it too difficult for you to fall asleep at night? You should try the 4-7-8 breathing technique that claims to help you nod off in 60 seconds! It sounds great, right? This method has been pioneered by Harvard- trained Dr. Andrew Weil, and it involves regulating your breathing to various counts of 4, 7, and 8.  It’s very interesting that it lets the oxygen fill the lungs better, and it calms your mind. Some people have a hard time sleeping. We can chalk it up to bad food late at night, too many screens before bed, and stress. It is incredibly difficult to shut your brain down and give it a break at night. The question is, what is the method 4, 7 and 8 ? The method was developed by a wellness practitioner, Harvard-educated Dr. Andrew Weil, who studies meditation, breathing, and how it can be used to counteract stress. It’s very easy and simple. You breathe through your nose for four second, hold it for seven seconds, and exhale through your mouth for eight second...

President Obama’s lame-duck drive for disastrous ‘success’

Image
Lame-duck presidents rarely get much done in their final year, or even try — clearing the field for election- year politics. But President Obama is plainly intent on feeding partisan rancor in 2016 — via unconstitutional overreach. He’s going big with executive action, damn the consequences. And he’s doing so on divisive issues from gun control to immigration. On New Year’s Eve, his Homeland Security Department announced new rules boosting the number of work visas for foreign-born US college graduates — well above the level approved by Congress. This, just weeks after language buried deep in the omnibus spending bill increased visas for working-class immigrants. And as immigration has become a bitter issue on the presidential campaign trail. On gun control, word is that an executive order to expand background checks on certain gun sales will come this week.

MUST READ: Gisele, Samba dancing and fireworks highlighted the 2016 Olympic opening ceremonies.

Cue the samba, light the fireworks and damn the mosquitoes — the 2016 Summer Olympics are on! Rio de Janeiro’s Maracana Stadium came alive with Latin music and the world’s fastest and strongest athletes at the Olympic Opening Ceremony Friday night, with US stars front and center. Olympic medal record holder Michael Phelps carried the Stars and Stripes at the head of Team USA, the largest contingent in the Games. The 554 members — wearing white pants, navy blazers and white and red striped shoes — drew thunderous applause as they marched through the stadium. “I’m honored to be chosen, proud to represent the US, and humbled by the significance of carrying the flag and all it stands for,” said Phelps, a 22-time swimming-medal winner. Brazil produced Friday night’s three-hour extravaganza on a shoestring budget, relying more on video effects than costly stage hardware. The ceremony began quietly with several projected images of water and presentations to pay tribute...
