Far-Left Chicago Mayor Says ‘Illegal Alien’ Label Is ‘Racist’ and ‘Nasty.’

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson criticized a reporter’s use of the term “illegal aliens,” calling it “racist” and “nasty” during a press briefing.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Mayor Brandon Johnson, a reporter, and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).

📍WHEN & WHERE: The press briefing occurred in Chicago on Friday.

💬KEY QUOTE: “We don’t have illegal aliens. I don’t know if that’s from some sort of sci-fi message that you wish you’ve had.” – Mayor Brandon Johnson

🎯IMPACT: The mayor’s remarks came after the reporter questioned him about a report on city spending related to illegal aliens that was allegedly required to be filed with the White House.

IN FULL

Far-left Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) claims the term “illegal aliens” is “racist” and “nasty,” blasting a reporter’s use of the label during a press briefing on Friday. The mayor’s remarks came after the reporter questioned him about a report on city spending related to illegal aliens that was allegedly required to be filed with the White House.

Video of the press conference captured Johnson responding immediately to the reporter’s question. “We don’t have illegal aliens,” Johnson said. “I don’t know if that’s from some sort of sci-fi message that you wish you’ve had.”

He added, “Well listen, the legal term for my people were slaves. You want me to use that term too? So, look, let’s just get the language right.” Johnson further insisted, “We’re talking about undocumented individuals that are human beings. The last thing I’m gonna do is accept the type of racist, nasty language, to describe human beings.”

The mayor quickly tried to shift focus to his administration’s budget priorities, highlighting a $16.7 billion investment in areas such as education, transportation, housing, youth employment, and environmental justice. He stated his intent to “challenge the ultra-wealthy” to ensure they “pay their fair share.”

Following the press conference, Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) backed Johnson’s remarks, stating, “Immigration violations are not criminal offenses. It is very important that people in Illinois and across the country understand the immigration system is a civil system. Undocumented presence in the United States is not a criminal offense. And so thank you for the clarification on language.”

Trans Teen Confesses to Planning Valentine’s Day Massacre at High School.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A female-to-male transgender has confessed to plotting a mass shooting earlier this year over Valentine’s Day.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Transgender Trinity Shockley, Morgan County Prosecutor’s office

📍WHEN & WHERE:  Shockley admitted to planning the mass killing at an Indiana high school.

🎯IMPACT: The case involves yet another transgender who has either plotted or carried out a mass shooting in recent years.

IN FULL

An 18-year-old Indiana student, Trinity Shockley, who also goes by Jamie and identifies as male, has admitted to plotting a Valentine’s Day massacre at her high school. According to the Morgan County Prosecutor’s Office, Shockley is expected to plead guilty to felony conspiracy to commit murder in exchange for a maximum sentence of 12.5 years in prison and five years of probation. Authorities said police were alerted in February after receiving a tip that Shockley had obtained access to an AR-15 rifle, purchased a bulletproof vest, and had become fixated on mass shootings.

When investigators searched her home, they discovered what was described as a shrine to Nikolas Cruz, the gunman responsible for the 2018 Parkland, Florida, school shooting, along with references to other mass killers. Officers also found detailed evidence suggesting she intended to attack her school on February 14, coinciding with the anniversary of the Parkland tragedy. As part of her plea deal, Shockley will be permanently banned from researching school shooters. Her electronic devices will be monitored through specialized software, and she will be prohibited from ever owning a firearm.

The case has drawn national attention amid a series of high-profile shootings involving transgenders. In March 2023, Audrey Hale, a 28-year-old transgender, carried out a deadly attack at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, killing three children and three adults. Hale left behind a manifesto and extensive planning materials.

In February 2024, Genesse Ivonne Moreno, also known as Jeffrey Escalante, opened fire at Houston’s Lakewood Church, the megachurch led by pastor Joel Osteen. The suspect, who was initially reported to be a transgender migrant with pro-Palestinian sympathies, used an AR-style rifle marked with the word “Palestine” and reportedly praised Osama bin Laden. Conflicting reports later emerged regarding the shooter’s gender identity.

Another shooting occurred in August 2025 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, when 23-year-old Robin Westman, a transgender who had legally changed his name from Robert, killed two children and injured many others at Annunciation Catholic Church and School. In his writings, Westman expressed regret about undergoing gender transition, stating, “I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself.”

Trump Secures Major Trade and Rare Earth Deals in Asia.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump began his Asia tour with a visit to Malaysia, brokering peace accords, trade agreements, and critical minerals deals.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Trump, leaders of Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, during President Trump’s Asia tour on Monday.

🎯IMPACT: Historic peace agreements, expanded market access for U.S. goods, and strengthened critical mineral supply chains.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump concluded the first leg of his Asia tour in Malaysia after a series of high-level talks, which resulted in a series of rare earth mineral deals, trade deals, and reciprocal trade frameworks. On Thursday, President Trump will meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea, where the two are expected to finalize a framework developed by negotiators over the weekend.

Over the weekend, President Trump brokered the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords, an agreement between Cambodia and Thailand to end their ongoing military conflict. Since May 28, 2025, sporadic armed clashes have broken out between Cambodian and Thai soldiers along several contested border regions, erupting into full-scale conflict on July 24. Despite both countries agreeing to an unconditional ceasefire just four days later, sporadic military engagements have persisted.

The America First leader also finalized and signed trade agreements with Malaysia and Cambodia, with both nations agreeing to drastic reductions in their tariffs on U.S. exports, as well as addressing non-tariff barriers. In addition, President Trump and his trade policy team established reciprocal trade frameworks with Thailand and Vietnam. These agreements will allow for preferential market access for U.S. industrial and agricultural exports in both countries.

Finally, Trump successfully secured a strategic rare earth mineral deal, further diversifying the U.S. technology supply chain and decoupling from reliance on China. The deal, struck with Thailand, seeks to expand the development of and investment in rare earth processing instead of just the export of the raw materials themselves.

Amazon Plans to Slash 30,000 Corporate Positions: Report.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Amazon is set to cut up to 30,000 corporate jobs, amounting to ten percent of its corporate workforce.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Amazon corporate employees, including those in human resources, services, and operations divisions.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Job cuts will begin this week, with notifications starting Tuesday, across Amazon’s global corporate offices.

🎯IMPACT: This marks the largest job cut at Amazon since late 2022 and signals a shift towards automation and AI integration within the company.

IN FULL

Online retail giant Amazon is preparing to cut up to 30,000 white-collar jobs, representing ten percent of its corporate workforce—though a much smaller share of the retailer’s total 1.5 million employees. These cuts, Amazon says, are part of the company’s efforts to reduce expenses following a hiring surge during the pandemic.

The roles being eliminated will impact several divisions, including human resources, services, and operations. Amazon employees in affected teams were instructed to undergo training on how to communicate the layoffs effectively, with emails to impacted employees scheduled to begin on Tuesday.

This reduction marks Amazon’s largest job cut since late 2022, when 27,000 roles were eliminated. The company has been reducing its workforce across multiple departments over recent years, while also advancing its use of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation to streamline operations.

The National Pulse reported last week that Amazon aims to replace up to 600,000 roles with AI-powered robots as part of its long-term goal to automate 75 percent of its operations. Additionally, Amazon has introduced an AI seller assistant on its platform, which is currently in beta testing.

Despite these cuts, Amazon plans to hire 250,000 workers for the holiday season, primarily in fulfillment and delivery roles. However, the company declined to specify how many of these positions would become permanent.

Mamdani Changes Story About Hijab-Wearing ‘Aunt’ Who Stopped Riding Subway After 9/11.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Zohran Mamdani, the Democrats’ socialist candidate for New York City mayor, has admitted he does not have an “aunt” who stopped riding the subway after 9/11, as he previously claimed. He now claims he was referring to a distant cousin of his father, who is now dead.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Zohran Mamdani, the Mamdani family, relatives of 9/11 victims, and Vice President J.D. Vance.

📍WHEN & WHERE: New York City, October 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I find what [Mamdani] had to say completely insulting to all of the people that suffered a horrible loss that day.” – Terry Strada, widow of a 9/11 victim.

🎯IMPACT: The episode has sparked backlash from 9/11 families and raised further concerns about Mamdani’s honesty and integrity.

IN FULL

Zohran Mamdani, the Ugandan Muslim immigrant selected as the Democrats’ candidate for New York City Mayor, has admitted to fabricating a story about his “aunt” being too scared to ride the subway in her Islamic hijab after the 9/11 attacks. After Internet sleuths discovered that his only living aunt, Masuma Mamdani, lived in Tanzania in 2001 and does not wear a hijab, Mamdani claimed he was actually referring to a distant cousin of his father who is now dead.

During a press conference, Mamdani claimed, “I was speaking about Zehra fuhi, my father’s cousin, who passed away a few years ago.” The term “fuhi” translates to paternal aunt in Urdu and Hindi. Notably, Mamdani’s father, Mahmood Mamdani, despises America, alleging it is “the genesis of… settler-colonialism,” and “the inspiration” for the Nazis and the anti-Jewish Nuremberg Laws, while also showing Adolf Hitler that “genocide was doable.”

Mamdani was already under fire for his tearful story about his “aunt” feeling uncomfortable on the subway after 9/11, given her alleged discomfort’s insignificance next to the mass death of the radical Islamic terror attack’s victims. Terry Strada, whose husband died in the North Tower, criticized the socialist politician’s remarks as “insulting and insensitive,” saying, “To compare an aunt being uncomfortable on the subway to all of these families that were murdered was just very insensitive and shows his true colors.”

Previously, Vice President J.D. Vance had observed that, “According to Zohran, the real victim of 9/11 was his auntie who got some (allegedly) bad looks.”

Democrat Govt Shutdown Delays 2,800 Flights as Air Traffic Controllers Go Without Pay.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Roughly 2,800 U.S. flights were delayed, and 109 were canceled on Monday due to staffing shortages amid the ongoing Senate Democrat-led government shutdown.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Air traffic controllers, the Department of Transportation (USDOT), and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Monday, October 27, 2025, across U.S. airports.

💬KEY QUOTE: “They got a big fat no paycheck is coming on Tuesday,” said Secretary Sean Duffy.

🎯IMPACT: Delays and cancellations are expected to increase as the shutdown persists, adding stress to already strained air traffic controllers.

IN FULL

On Monday, October 27, 2025, approximately 2,800 flights were delayed, and 109 flights were canceled across the United States. The disruption comes as the Senate Democrat-led government shutdown enters its 27th day, with essential workers, including air traffic controllers, increasingly failing to report to work.

U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Secretary Sean Duffy explained the situation during a television appearance early Monday, noting that air traffic controllers are under significant financial strain due to missed paychecks. “They got their notice on Thursday and Friday. They get a notice of what they are going to be paid on Tuesday. And they got a big fat no paycheck is coming on Tuesday,” Duffy stated.

Duffy highlighted the stress faced by air traffic controllers, many of whom live paycheck to paycheck. “I’ve been out talking to air traffic controllers, and you can see the stress. These are people that oftentimes live paycheck to paycheck… they are concerned about gas in the car, they are concerned about childcare,” he said.

On Sunday, FlightAware recorded over 8,700 delays across the U.S., with 22 “staffing triggers” reported at air traffic control towers nationwide. Duffy warned that these indicators signal worsening conditions, predicting higher levels of delays and cancellations in the coming days as staffing shortages grow more severe.

The U.S. faced a shortage of air traffic controllers even before the shutdown began, but the ongoing impasse threatens to exacerbate the issue. The National Pulse reported in January 2024 that the former Biden government prioritized diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-based hiring at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), resulting in qualified air traffic controllers being turned away despite numerous open positions. Concerningly, the former Biden government even sought to ensure that a portion of new hires included individuals with severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities.

An internal FAA safety report highlighted that the tower’s staffing levels were “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic” during the deadly January 2025 collision between an American Airlines flight and a Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan National Airport. A single air traffic controller was responsible for managing both helicopter activity in the vicinity and the movements of aircraft departing from and landing at the airport. Two controllers typically fulfill these duties.

The shortage of air traffic controllers created under the Biden government was significant, with a reported shortfall of about 3,000 controllers as of early 2024.

Pence Whines About Trump Calling Him a ‘Wimp’ on Jan 6.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump reportedly called former Vice President Mike Pence a “wimp” during a phone call on January 6, 2021, over Pence’s refusal to block the certification of the 2020 election results.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Donald Trump, Mike Pence, and Jonathan Karl, who revealed the details in his upcoming book, Retribution.

📍WHEN & WHERE: January 6, 2021, during a phone call at approximately 11 AM. Eastern, hours before the Capitol breach.

💬KEY QUOTE: “You’ll go down as a wimp. If you do that, I made a big mistake five years ago,” Trump reportedly said to Pence, according to the former Vice President’s notes.

🎯IMPACT: Pence has attempted to position himself as and capitalize on being the foremost anti-Trump voice in the Republican Party. However, Pence has shown a lack of fortitude and success even in that endeavor.

IN FULL

In a phone call on January 6, 2021, hours before the Capitol protests, President Donald J. Trump reportedly criticized then-Vice President Mike Pence for refusing to block the certification of the 2020 election results while state-level challenges were underway. According to notes taken by Pence, Trump called him a “wimp” and said, “If you do that, I made a big mistake five years ago.” These details come from Jonathan Karl’s upcoming book, Retribution.

Pence’s notes, written in his day planner, were intended to be used as evidence by former Special Counsel Jack Smith in his investigation into Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Pence had previously referenced this call in his 2022 memoir, So Help Me God. Trump later stated during a speech on January 6 that he hoped Pence would “do the right thing” by declining to sign off on questionable Electoral College votes, but the then-Vice President refused to back the America First leader.

During the certification process, Trump tweeted criticism of Pence, stating he “didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution.”

Trump has denied calling Pence a “wimp,” contradicting his former Vice President’s recollection of events. Notably, Pence has attempted to position himself as and capitalize on being the foremost anti-Trump voice in the Republican Party. Even in that endeavour, however, Pence has shown a lack of fortitude. The National Pulse reported in May that Pence, while accepting the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for his actions in January 2020, avoided criticizing President Trump by name, instead opting to attack the President through innuendo.

In January, Pence—in his role as an establishment mouthpiece to attack President Trump and his agenda—lobbied Republicans in the Senate to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). Pence’s political organization, Advancing American Freedom, unsuccessfully whipped Republican senators against the ex-Democrat Kennedy’s nomination on the pretext of his past support for abortion access.

Left Rally Round ‘Death to the IDF’ Singer After Louis Theroux Loses Sponsor for Softball Interview.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Leftists are rallying around Pascal Robinson-Foster, a.k.a. Bobby Vylan, who chanted “Death, death to the IDF” at a music festival and performed a song including the lyrics “I heard you want your country back, ha, shut the f**k up, you can’t have that.” This follows British Airways withdrawing a sponsorship from Louis Theroux and his podcast for giving Vylan a softball interview.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: British Airways, Louis Theroux, and Bobby Vylan.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The podcast episode aired earlier this month; British Airways’ response followed shortly after.

💬KEY QUOTE: “We and our third-party media agency have processes in place to ensure these issues don’t occur, and we’re investigating how this happened.” – British Airways spokesman.

🎯IMPACT: The sponsorship has been paused, and the associated advert removed.

IN FULL

British Airways (BA) has pulled sponsorship from Louis Theroux’s podcast following a softball interview with Pascal Robinson-Foster, a.k.a. Bobby Vylan, the frontman of the hip-hop duo Bob Vylan. Bobby Vylan was previously broadcast leading chants of “Death, death to the IDF” (Israel Defense Forces) at a music festival by the BBC, and also produced a song directed at anti-mass migration patriots, including the lyrics “I heard you want your country back, ha, shut the f**k up, you can’t have that.”

A spokesman for the airline stated, “The interview breaches our sponsorship policy in relation to politically sensitive or controversial subject matters.” They added, “We and our third-party media agency have processes in place to ensure these issues don’t occur, and we’re investigating how this happened. Our sponsorship of the series has now been paused, and the advert has been removed.”

Notably, on the podcast, Vylan defended his Glastonbury “Death to the IDF” chant, saying he had no regrets and would do it again, and that BBC employees cheered him on.

However, some on the left are rallying around Vylan—in part by throwing Theroux under the bus. “But oh wait, no, it was interviewing someone critical of Israel that was the problem,” commented activist Phillip Proudfoot, sharing a promotional image for Theroux’s Louis and the Nazis documentary.

Commentator Bushra Shaikh complained that “British Airways was fine sponsoring Louis Theroux’s podcast when he was interviewing Daniella Weiss, the psychopathic genocide-supporting Israeli settler leader” while drawing a “red line” against “Bob Vylan’s hurty words about the IDF.”

New Lines Magazine Associate Editor Idrees Ahmas was more sympathetic to Theroux—who was not sympathetic to the aforementioned subjects in the way he was to Vylan—saying, “So [British Airways] is trying to financially punish a British journalist to protect from criticism a foreign army implicated in a genocide? This is a game two can play. Add BA to the boycott list. There are better and cheaper alternatives.”

The Trump administration withdrew the Vylan duo’s U.S. visas in the wake of the chanting scandal, with Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau remarking, “Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country.”

WATCH: Farage Wonders When ‘The Deluded Left’ Will Realize Islamist ‘Invading Army’ Is Not Their Ally.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A march of masked Muslim men carrying flags and chanting slogans took place in east London over the weekend, spurning leftist “anti-racism” activists who attempted to support them.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Islamists, ‘Stand Up To Racism’ and other left-wing activist organizations, and Reform Party leader Nigel Farage.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Over the weekend in east London, with key events taking place in Whitehall and Tower Hamlets.

💬KEY QUOTE: “It was like a foreign invading army marching through our streets.” – Nigel Farage

🎯IMPACT: The march has raised concerns over public safety, demographic change, and social disintegration in Britain.

IN FULL

Reform Party leader Nigel Farage has described a march of masked Muslim men in east London over the weekend as “one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever seen in my whole life.” The group, dressed in black and carrying Palestinian and Bangladeshi flags, marched through Whitehall in response to a UKIP protest—which the police banned—over the weekend.

Speaking at a press conference alongside Muslim grooming gang survivor Ellie-Ann Reynolds, Farage lamented the “outright intimidation to the point of sort of basically urging the mass wipe out of huge numbers of Jewish people” during the march, and chastised the left for allying with the marchers.

“[W]hat a telling moment; the leftist, Stand Up to Racism were there with their banners, and one of them says to these masked marchers, ‘We’re on the same side,’ to which the response comes, ‘No, we’re not,'” Farage said, recalling an incident from the march which has gone viral on social media.

“Maybe one day the deluded left will wake up to realize they’ve been with very strange bedfellows. Organizations like Queers for Palestine spring to mind,” he said, adding that the scenes were “absolutely terrifying… like a foreign invading army was marching through our streets,” he added.

Trump Extends Mexico’s Tariff Deadline as Negotiations with Sheinbaum Progress.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced an extension of the trade deadline between Mexico and the U.S. to discuss pending issues.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and U.S. President Donald J. Trump.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The announcement followed a conversation on Saturday, with Sheinbaum addressing the matter in her Monday press conference in Mexico City.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I was interested in making sure that November 1 didn’t arrive without us having communicated and that we were in agreement that our teams were still working,” said Sheinbaum.

🎯IMPACT: Following the announcement, Mexico’s peso saw a modest gain, strengthening by 0.29 percent to 18.38 per dollar, reflecting confidence in the ongoing negotiations.

IN FULL

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum revealed on Monday that she had spoken with President Donald J. Trump over the weekend, resulting in an agreement to extend the trade deadline for discussions between the two nations. The original pause in tariff increases, agreed upon in July, was set to expire this week.

Sheinbaum stated during her morning press conference, “I was interested in making sure that November 1 didn’t arrive without us having communicated and that we were in agreement that our teams were still working.” She added that the focus remains on resolving 54 outstanding trade barriers.

Following the announcement, Mexico’s peso saw a modest gain, strengthening by 0.29 percent to 18.38 per dollar, reflecting confidence in the ongoing negotiations. The U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) has largely shielded Mexico from significant tariff hikes in recent years, but the deal is set for review next year.

Earlier in October, Sheinbaum expressed optimism about reaching a favorable trade agreement and highlighted plans to advance projects related to electric vehicles, semiconductors, satellites, drones, and artificial intelligence (AI). “We continue working and there is no situation in the near future where there could be any special tariff on November 1,” she noted.

When asked whether Mexico would continue to approach U.S. trade talks independent of Canada—including next year’s USMCA review—Sheinbaum urged caution. “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves,” she said. Last week, President Trump broke off trade talks with Canada over a lack of progress and meddling by Ontario Premier Doug Ford.

REPORT: East Wing Debris May Be Used to Renovate Decrepit DC Golf Course.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The East Wing of the White House was demolished, and its debris was transported to various locations.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Donald J. Trump, construction workers, and local reporters.

📍WHEN & WHERE: October 2025, East Potomac Park and Hyattsville, Maryland.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Oh, they’re gonna turn it into another hole,” said an employee at East Potomac Golf Links.

🎯IMPACT: The debris is being used for potential redevelopment, including a new golf course hole.

IN FULL

The East Wing of the White House has been demolished to create space for a grand ballroom to host state functions, with the resulting debris—including soil and various materials—hauled off to multiple sites across Washington, D.C., and its environs. Reports indicate the dirt has been dumped at East Potomac Park, close to the Jefferson Memorial.

Trucks hauling construction materials have been observed pulling into the East Potomac Golf Links, where they unload the dirt at a fenced-off zone. An employee told reporter Nancy Walecky that “they’re gonna turn it into another hole.” President Trump is reportedly eyeing a rebrand and overhaul of the East Potomac Golf Links as the Washington National Golf Course.

Notably, the East Wing is not part of the iconic White House Executive Residence, but a fairly unremarkable outbuilding, dating in its current form to the 1940s, when it was rebuilt to hide the parallel construction of a bunker for the late President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Nevertheless, the Democrats have exploited the East Wing’s replacement to smear President Donald J. Trump—who is funding the new ballroom at his own expense alongside private donors—as destroying America’s heritage, and exaggerated the building’s historical importance, at one point mistakenly sharing a picture of the East Wing of Buckingham Palace in London, England, in a social media post bemoaning the demolition.
