Erik Prince and Oliver North are trying to sell Trump on a secret spy force
The Week - Blackwater founder Erik Prince, ex-CIA officer John R. Maguire, and Iran-Contra linchpin Oliver North have been shopping a proposal to President Trump's White House and CIA Director Mike Pompeo to create private global network of expendable spies that would report directly to Trump and Pompeo, and Pompeo wants Trump to approve the contract, The Intercept reports, citing "several current and former U.S. intelligence officials and others familiar with the proposals." The Intercept confirms and expands on BuzzFeed's report that intelligence contractor Amyntor Group, Maguire's employer, is a potential organizer of the new private spy network. "Pompeo can't trust the CIA bureaucracy, so we need to create this thing that reports just directly to him," a former senior U.S. intelligence official tells The Intercept, paraphrasing White House discussions. "The whole point is this is supposed to report to the president and Pompeo directly." Maguire was on Trump's transition team and used to work

Business Insider - Alani "Joie" Murrieta died days after battling the flu and, eventually, pneumonia. Murrieta took a prescribed antiviral medication, but ended up in the emergency room.

'The Christmas Elf' on stage at Bridgeport's Downtown Cabaret Theatre
Stamford Advocate - When it comes to what inspired Phil Hill to write the new holiday show, "The Christmas Elf," Hill said he has to be honest. (After all, he doesn't want to wind up on Santa's naughty list.) It's no secret inspiration comes from everywhere, he said, discussing the musical on stage this month at Bridgeport's Downtown Cabaret Theatre. He has often found he can see an image or hear a song and build an entire production from the experience.
