The White House considering a series of options in response to a drone strike that damaged Saudi Arabia's energy industry, the attack likely linked to Iran, shut down half of the kingdom's petroleum production, Secretary of State Pompeo vowing to continue America's maximum pressure campaign against Iran. But if that country is behind the Saudi attack, stronger action may be taken. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren demanding the impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh after new uncorroborated and disputed allegations of sexual abuse appeared in the New York Times. The accusations that eyewitnesses saw Kavanaugh acting inappropriately while a freshman at Yale University appear in a new book,

but have since been denied by the alleged victim who claims to have no memory of the incident. The Times eventually backtracked on the story, removing sections of it. This is not the first time the ultra-liberal New York Times has been wrong in its coverage. now Mr. Sanders and Ms. Warren have yet to be heard from. President Trump has been heard from saying Brett Kavanaugh should sue. Nearly 50,000 workers of General Motors off the job nationwide as contract talks breakdown. The strike is a first and more than a decade. Representatives from the United Auto Workers Union calling the move a last resort as negotiators struggle to reach an agreement on wages, health benefits, retirement plans, and more. New study from Harper's magazine says nearly

half of Americans have cried in the workplace, with 45% admitting they have broken down over both personal and professional issues. Guilty of a midday meltdown?

A new Gallup poll on the war in Afghanistan says 43% of Americans believe sending troops to that country after the 9-11 terror attack was a mistake, 43%. Now, you may remember that al-Qaeda was based inside Afghanistan, training its terror killers there. After 9-11, President George W. Bush told the Taliban government to expel al-Qaeda and hand over its leader Osama bin Laden. The Taliban refused to do that, and the USA, along with NATO allies, invaded, removing the terrorist government. Nevertheless, 53% of Democrats right now see that action as a mistake, along with 25% of Republicans. That may be because the death toll in Afghanistan has been significant. 62,000 Afghan soldiers killed. 2,419 Americans and 1,100 NATO forces dead.

1773 allied forces have been wounded. Again, that is significant. And the action in Afghanistan has been going on for 18 years. Now, if the Taliban had not been defeated and removed, al-Qaeda and the other terror operations like ISIS would be much stronger today. And terror itself would be much more prominent. Do Americans who oppose the Afghan action understand that? It is undeniable. So what exactly is the counter-argument here? Over the weekend, the world saw another terror attack this one on Saudi Arabia. It was probably engineered by the kingdom's enemy Iran. Does the Western world do nothing? Millions of Americans seem to say, yes, do nothing.

Well, it comes down to what kind of a world you want to live in. If the United States does not police the world, what will happen? Islamic terrorism certainly will run wild. Vladimir Putin will try to gain territory for Russia. China will have this Pacific as its sphere of influence, and chaos will be everywhere. Again, do Americans not understand that? It is a damn shame that the USA has to be the policemen of the world, but who else is going to do it? There comes a point where responsible Americans have to see outside themselves.

No one wants U.S. troops killed or man. I've raised tens of millions of dollars through the Independence Fund.org to provide high-tech wheelchairs for U.S. troops maimed in Afghanistan and Iraq. It breaks my heart to see that. But I understand, and you should too, that sometimes military action has to happen. Has to happen. That is the message.

using computers to create sports, cars, spacecraft, even costumes. But years ago, filmmakers relied on real images to impress audiences. Today, those collectibles, some of them anyway, go for big bucks at auctions. Here are the most coveted movie artifacts in the marketplace. There is no more iconic hat in the history of film than the famed fedora worn by Indiana Jones. Handpicked by filmmakers George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg, they use several hats throughout the film franchise. One prop hat featured in three Indiana Jones films recently sold for $424,000. The original hat made famous in Harrison Ford's first performance as Indiana Jones in Raiders of

the Lost Ark, is owned by Mr. Spielberg himself and is not for sale. Next is Marilyn Monroe's white dress made famous as the movie star stood over a windy subway grate in the 1955 film, The Seven Year Itch. The outfit fetched more than one million bucks in 2011, making it the most expensive costume in film history. While Miss Monroe's dress may be the most expensive costume, the price is film collectible of all time is James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 convertible featured in the classics by thriller Goldfinger. Two models were used while filming the movie. The one actually driven by Sean Connery sold in 2010 for a whopping $4.6 million. Finally, one of the most sought-after movie collectibles of all

time comes from the 1942 classic film Casablanca. Movie makers purchased two pianos from musician Sam, portrayed by Dooley Wilson, to perform the song as time goes by. Only one of the pianos was used during production, selling for $3.4 million in 2014. The other went for about $600,000. Play it again, Sam, but bring your checkbook. Back after this.
