German Shepherd Wins Best in Show

A female German shepherd named Rumor won the Best in Show award at the 141st Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Madison Square Garden in New York City Tuesday night. Rumor is named for singer Adele's hit song “Rumor Has It.” The German shepherd was one of seven dogs to advance to the Best in Show competition. The 5-year-old won the herding group category -- becoming the second dog from that group to ever win. It was the 39th time that a female has won the top prize. According to the judge, the German shepherd standard epitomizes quality and nobility and that is what separated Rumor from the other dogs on this night. Sea Breeze, a male Irish setter known as Adrian, won Reserve Best in Show, second place.

In Other News According to multiple current and former U. S. intelligence, law enforcement and administration officials, high-level advisers close to then-presidential nominee Donald Trump were in constant communication during the campaign with Russians. President-elect Trump and then-President Barack Obama were both briefed on details of the extensive communications between suspected Russian operatives and people associated with the Trump campaign and the Trump business. Officials emphasized that communications between campaign staff and representatives of foreign governments are not unusual. However, these communications stood out to investigators due to the frequency and the level of the Trump advisers involved. Investigators have not reached a judgment on the intent of those conversations. The North Korean leader's half-brother, Kim Jong Nam, died Monday after being poisoned at a Malaysian airport. Two Asian women are suspected in his murder; one woman was arrested at the airport. The leader and his late brother shared a father, though the brother fell out of favor. Kim Jong Nam's death is fairly sensitive subject matter and isn't being widely publicized in North Korea. President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are scheduled to meet today in Washington. There is plenty of opportunity for tension -- Netanyahu and Obama weren't exactly best friends, and negotiating the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is no easy task. However, the leaders have expressed support for one another and they agree, at least for now, on some key issues in the Middle East. The visit is predicted to be a friendly one. A toddler and a 26-year-old man riding in a car were shot and killed in Chicago on Tuesday. It was the second deadly incident involving a child in the city in the past few days. Over the weekend, two young girls were shot on the South Side in separate incidents. One of the girls died Tuesday. Moscow deployed a cruise missile on Tuesday, which is an apparent violation of a 1987 nuclear forces treaty. The move is a challenging provocation for Trump, who has clearly pushed for a better relationship with the Russians.
