STYLE about THE DAILY BEAST PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY ELIZABETH BROCKWAY/THE DAILY BEAST KOWTOW China Hangs Tough. Trump Folds. China Ups the Ante. GORDON G. CHANG 02.10.17 3:59 AM ET On Thursday night, President Trump told his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, that he accepted the “One China” policy. The acknowledgement, made during a phone conversation, appears to be a capitulation to Beijing’s demands. A letter also was delivered to China’s ambassador to the U.S. accepting the policy, which, with some nuances, acknowledges Beijing’s position that Taiwan is a province of China. According to the White House readout, “President Trump agreed, at the request of President Xi, to honor our ‘One China’ policy.” Trump, before his inauguration, appeared to put the policy in question when, on Dec. 2, he accepted a congratulatory phone callfrom Taiwan’s president, Tsai Ing-wen. The call was considered a violation of U.S. policy in place since 1979, when President Jimmy Carter broke off diplomatic ties with Taipei in order to recognize Beijing. Both Beijing and Washington state that ‘One China’ forms the basis of their ties. Furthermore, Trump, in a Chris Wallace interview aired on Dec. 11 and in an interview published in The Wall Street Journal on Jan. 13, said he did not feel constrained by the policy. The ‘One China’ policy accepts the People’s Republic of China as the legitimate government of China, acknowledges Beijing takes the position that Taiwan is part of the People’s Republic, and states Taiwan’s status is unresolved. Furthermore, Washington insists that resolution of that status be peaceful, in other words, with the consent of Taiwan’s people. “It’s a wise move that sets the basis for Trump and Xi to address the myriad challenges on the U.S.-China agenda,” Evan Medeiros, a high-ranking Obama Asia adviser, told the Financial Times. Medeiros is right that the acceptance allows dealings between Beijing and Washington to go forward, but it is hardly “wise.” The New York Times reports that administration officials believed that Xi would refuse to talk to Trump until he publicly accepted the policy. To smooth over the rift and as “a gesture of conciliation,” National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and his deputy, K.T. McFarland, hand-delivered to Cui Tiankai, China’s ambassador to the U.S., a letter from Trump to Xi. The Chinese will view both actions as evidence of an American climb-down. In what was a test of will, the Chinese will surely believe they have scored a quick victory. Trump, therefore, has fed their sense of power and arrogance—and American weakness. Beijing, as a result, is bound to become even more difficult to deal with. The phone call came just hours before Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe arrives at the White House for a day of talks. Abe’s visit, in turn, comes after Defense Secretary James Mattis visited Tokyo. On Saturday, Mattis reaffirmed that Article 5 of the U.S.-Japan mutual defense treaty covers the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea, pledging Washington to defend them from attack. The only country threatening the barren outcroppings is China, which claims sovereignty. Beijing for years has been pressuring Japan to hand them over. Just two days after Mattis issued his confirmation, three Chinese coast guard vessels, without permission, intruded into Japan’s territorial waters around the Senkakus. The intrusion is seen as a warning to Tokyo and the United States. Trump, seeking better ties with China, has just made matters far worse for America. It is fair to say that in Chinese eyes, they have just disrespected Mattis and intimidated his boss, the president of the United States.

← US Temperature Data Tampering – Worse Than It Seems Bill Nye, The Cognitive Dissonance Guy Posted on April 20, 2017 by tonyheller Bill Nye says that 70 degree temperatures in February prove global warming, and anyone who doesn’t accept that is suffering from cognitive dissonance. According to Bill Nye, the answer is simple: cognitive dissonance. “People have a certain worldview; [then] they’re confronted with evidence that conflicts with the worldview, so they have dissonance, conflict in their minds,” Nye says. “[So] instead of changing your worldview, which you may have held your entire life, you dismiss the evidence—and along with that you dismiss the authorities that may have provided the evidence.” Bill Nye Says Climate Change Deniers Have a Bad Case of Cognitive Dissonance | WIRED Had Bill ever actually looked at the data, he would have known that the frequency of February 70 degree days has actually declined since 1920. The warmest February was 1976, which came immediately before the three coldest winters on record in the US. Less than one year after the warmest February in 1976, it was snowing in Miami 20 Jan 1977, Page 3 – Valley News The warmest February temperature on record in the US, was 104 degrees at Rio Grande City, Texas on February 26, 1902. The average warmest February temperature at all 1,218 USHCN stations is 78 degrees. It is painfully obvious that Bill is unfamiliar with both the data and the authorities he claims to represent. He is a junk science guy, and because of his influence on trusting children, his disinformation campaign is a threat to both science and civil society. He is a modern day Goebbels.

Reply arn says: April 20, 2017 at 7:36 pm Yes- be is absolutely right. People have a certain world viewsl, then they’re confronted with evidence that conflicts with their world view; so they have dissonance. Though there is overwhelming evidence that islam is a cruel perverted crazy cult with headchopping, stoning, cutting of hands and feet even for things like stealing an apple or an egg legal slavery legal pedophilia(even *** pedophilia=bachu bazi) killing of tens of millions of hindhuists and black people total apartheid system(male muslim>female muslim>kaffur>slave>unbeliever) mandatory jihad, legal rape as soon as women are not wearing propper clothes and a pedophile ,massmurdering prophet mohammed who is considered the most perfect human being and 30.000++ terror attacks in the past 16 years and killing of 100.000++ christians each and every year and the destruction of thousands of church in this century people like bill nye say that islam is the religion of peace that should be tolerated. It is not just dissonance to keep the own world view alive but insane perversion when demanding to tolerate this evil crap. And now these dissonent people who are unable to understand the most obvious and most primitive things are trying to explain you supercomplex stuff like climate.

US Secretary of Defense James Mattis. AP file photo ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – US Secretary of Defense James Mattis arrived in Baghdad on Monday on an unannounced visit, reportedly meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and a number of officials to reaffirm his country's military assistance to Iraq in the fight against ISIS. Mattis' visit to Baghdad comes on the second day of the Iraqi army's resumption of a military offensive to reclaim western Mosul from ISIS. Before he arrived in Baghdad, Mattis said his country was not here to seize Iraqi oil. US President Donald Trump said during elections campaigns that America should have taken Iraq’s oil after 2003 and, had they done so, it would have prevented the emergence of ISIS. It has remained unknown whether or not Mattis will visit the Kurdistan Region. Kurdish President Masoud Barzani and Mattis held an hour-long meeting on the sidelines of the 53rd Munich Security Conference in the German Bavarian capital on Friday. This was the first such meeting between top Kurdish and US officials since the new administration took office in the White House. Mattis has previously served in Iraq; he most notably led the US Marines into battle in the Iraqi city of Falluja in April 2004. - See more at: http://www.rudaw.net/mobile/english/middleeast/iraq/200220171#sthash.1TpaFyzq.dpuf

Iraqi Forces Repel ISIL's Massive Attack in Western Mosul, Kill 80 Terrorists, 20 Commanders TEHRAN (FNA)- The Iraqi army and popular forces thwarted a large-scale attack by the ISIL in the Western part of Mosul in Nineveh province, killing tens of terrorists in fierce clashes. The ISIL launched a massive operation to break the siege of the city of Tal Afar and also open the Iraq-Syria border which was strongly confronted with the resistance of the Iraqi volunteer forces (Hashd al-Shaabi) and the terrorists sustained heavy losses. "At least 100 ISIL terrorists, including 20 commanders, were killed in the battle," the Arabic-language al-Maloumeh news website quoted an unnamed security source as saying. Meantime, tens of military vehicles of the ISIL terrorist group were also destroyed in the tough battle which lasted for over five hours. Also the Hashd al-Shaabi backed by the Iraqi air force destroyed 14 bomb-laden vehicles and two ISIL drones. In a relevant development on Thursday, more than a dozen members of the ISIL terrorist group were killed in a string of operations carried out by the Iraqi air force in the country’s Northern province of Nineveh. An Iraqi Defense Ministry statement said 15 ISIL terrorists were killed after Iraqi aircraft struck militant outposts near Mosul, Al Sumariya reported. The attacks destroyed an ISIL command center as well as several tunnels, on which the terrorist group has relied for years to mount surprise attacks. The Iraqi Joint Operations Command also said a number of militant commanders were killed when a vehicle in which they were traveling was hit in an airstrike on the Eastern outskirts of Mosul. Among those killed was the self-proclaimed ISIL governor of Mosul, identified as Haqqi Esmaeil Owaid also known as Abu Ahmed. Another man identified as Abu Maha, in charge of ISIL intelligence affairs, was also killed in the airstrike. Additionally, three civilians lost their lives and four others were injured on Wednesday evening when an ISIL drone fired a rocket at the Nabi Younis market East of Mosul. Iraqi army forces, backed by pro-government forces launched a joint operation last October to regain control of Mosul from ISIL terrorists.

Soros's Women's March of Hate The Left's rage unleashed on the streets of Washington. January 23, 2017 By: Matthew Vadum On Saturday, the nation's capital was inundated with masses of loud, obnoxious, foul-mouthed Trump-hating women (and some men) at what was billed the "Women's March on Washington." The Guardian called the event a "spontaneous" action for women's rights, while Vox spoke of a "huge, spontaneous groundswell" behind the march. While the mainstream media bombarded news consumers with news stories claiming few Americans were interested in the inauguration festivities, television ratings for President Donald Trump's inauguration were the second-highest Nielsen has recorded in 36 years, drawing 30.6 million TV viewers across 12 networks. Factoring in live streams provided by the networks, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and other online portals adds millions more viewers to the total. But what happened Saturday at the "Women's March" was not spontaneous. No mass rallies are, especially on the Left. This so-called "protest", like the violent attacks orchestrated by the DisruptJ20 coalition on pro-Trump events such as Friday's "DeploraBall" at the National Press Club, was not an organically generated demonstration. The usual culprits were involved behind the scenes using the same fascistic tactics they used to shut down the massive Trump campaign rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago in March last year. The groups that organized the Women's March on Washington on Saturday were underwritten by radical currency speculator George Soros, the same man who says Communist China's system of government is superior to our own and that the United States is the number one obstacle to world peace. The Soros people brought in protesters from all over the country to express their displeasure with Donald Trump on his first full day as president of the United States. These left-wingers don't accept the votes of the 63 million Americans in 3,084 of the nation's 3,141 counties or county equivalents who chose Trump as president. They keep telling themselves the lie over and over again that Trump is somehow not a legitimate president even though he received a majority of Electoral College votes, as the Constitution requires. Writing in the New York Times, Asra Q. Nomani writes that "the march really isn't a 'women's march.' It's a march for women who are anti-Trump." Nomani is a former Georgetown journalism professor and Wall Street Journal reporter who describes herself as "a lifelong liberal feminist who voted for Donald Trump for president." She continues: As someone who voted for Trump, I don't feel welcome, nor do many other women who reject the liberal identity-politics that is the core underpinnings of the march, so far, making white women feel unwelcome, nixing women who oppose abortion and hijacking the agenda. Nomani burnt the midnight oil poring over, in her words, "the funding, politics and talking points of the some 403 groups that are 'partners' of the march." She discovered that "Soros has funded, or has close relationships with, at least 56 of the march's 'partners,' including 'key partners' Planned Parenthood, which opposes Trump's anti-abortion policy, and the National Resource Defense Council, which opposes Trump's environmental policies." According to Nomani, among the Soros grantees designated as "partners" in the Women's March on Washington are MoveOn, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Center for Constitutional Rights, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch. In a spreadsheet she links to in her article she identifies plenty more organizations that are partners in the march that have received grants through the two major Soros philanthropies, the Open Society Institute and the Foundation to Promote Open Society. Some of the other left-wing Soros-funded groups involved in the women's event were: Advancement Project; American Constitution Society; America's Voice; Arab American Association of New York; Asian Americans Advancing Justice; Center for Reproductive Rights; Color of Change; Communities United for Police Reform; Demos; Economic Policy Institute; Every Voice; Green for All; League of Women Voters; Make the Road New York; MPower Change; NAACP; NARAL Pro-Choice America Fund; National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum; National Council of Jewish Women; National Domestic Workers Alliance; National Network for Arab American Communities; National Council of La Raza; PEN America; Psychologists for Social Responsibility; Public Citizen; United We Dream; and Voter Participation Center. Muslim terrorist supporter Linda Sarsour, president of the Arab American Association of New York, was deeply involved in planning march-related events. Sarsour has familial ties to HAMAS and works with the terrorist front group Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). One of the angry women to show up in Washington was the entertainer Madonna who told the crowd of Trump-haters that she thought many times about "blowing up the White House" but had decided against it because it "wouldn't change anything." She is expected to be investigated by the Secret Service. On stage, Madonna wore a "pussyhat" created for the occasion and used the F-word four times. The ****** motif among leftist protesters is nothing new. Code Pink has been using it for years. But it was given new life after audio footage was published during the campaign that captured Trump's locker room remark, "grab 'em by the *****." The marchers took the vulvar vulgarity a step further. Apart from the usual pro-choice and male-bashing placards, they carried signs reading: "My neck, my back, my ***** will grab back"; "Stay cunty"; "***** trumps tyranny"; "Keep your politics off my *****"; "Mike Pence has never satisfied a woman in his life"; "Support your sisters not just your cis-ters"; "We are the grand-daughters of the witches you could not burn"; and "It's feminist not feminazi[.]" The atmosphere in downtown Washington wasn't much different from the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia last summer. The same in-your-face radicalism and hatred of cops and white people. Radical documentary maker Michael Moore handed the microphone to actress Ashley Judd who read a goofy, childish poem aloud. "I feel Hitler in these streets," Judd said, "A mustache traded for a toupee. Nazis renamed." So many washed-up celebrities turn to political activism as people stop caring about them. It's a coping mechanism Mother Nature invented to ease them into irrelevance. They shout and carry on and we forget about them. Angela Davis, the academic and former Black Panther, spoke at the event. She was described by Elle as a "[c]ivil rights activist." The article left out that she used to be a fugitive and that she ran for U.S. vice president in 1980 and 1984, alongside Gus Hall, on the ticket of the Communist Party USA. In 1991 she was expelled from the CPUSA for opposing the coup against then-Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. She joined an arguably more radical group called the Committees of Correspondence. Davis's speech consisted of the usual tedious ultra-politically correct drivel, praising traitors, terrorists, and cop killers. Women's rights are human rights all over the planet and that is why we say freedom and justice for Palestine. We celebrate the impending release of Chelsea Manning. And Oscar López Rivera. But we also say free Leonard Peltier. Free Mumia Abu-Jamal. Free Assata Shakur. "The next 1,459 days of the Trump administration will be 1,459 days of resistance," Davis said. "Resistance on the ground, resistance in the classrooms, resistance on the job, resistance in our art and in our music." Davis saw no need to tone down her rhetoric because she was addressing true believers. Her co-religionists were busy trying to burn down Washington in the days prior to her address. Unrepentant terrorist and Obama pal Bill Ayers showed up in Washington for the inaugural festivities with his terrorist wife, Bernardine Dohrn. "On our way to demonstrate for several days in Washington," Ayers wrote on his blog Jan. 19. The same day Ayers appeared on a TV show hosted by a fellow small-c communist, "The Big Picture with Thom Hartmann," on the Russian government controlled-RT America network. Former President Obama launched his career in electoral politics in 1995 in the Hyde Park, Chicago living room of Ayers and Dohrn. They hosted a fundraiser for Obama for his run for the Illinois State Senate. Austin, Texas-based anarchist Lisa Fithian also came to Washington to cause trouble. She led the union goons and anarchists who rioted during the 1999 World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle. She also organized riots as part of the Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter movement and community-organized in post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans. She was part of the "***** dance party" Jan. 18 that was intended to intimidate Mike Pence at his pre-inaugural home in the Chevy Chase neighborhood in Northwest Washington. "We are here to celebrate the ***** liberation and say that love will trump hate," Fithian told CNN. "Mike Pence needs to find his heart and recognize that this is a country that needs to be loving and welcoming to everyone. If they want to make America great again, we actually need to embrace our humanity." Black mask-wearing rioters destroyed private property a few blocks from the White House, smashing windows at a Bank of America branch, a Starbucks, and a McDonald's. They set cars and trash cans on fire and assaulted police using crowbars, bottles, and sticks. They blocked uniformed Air Force officers from entering the inauguration grounds. They injured at least six cops. About 3,000 local, state, and federal law enforcement officers were stationed in Washington, along with 5,000 members of the National Guard. Perhaps unaware that he works for their friends in the Russian government, rioters torched the limousine of RT America broadcaster Larry King. At least 217 individuals were arrested and charged with rioting. The U.S. Attorney's Office said each offender is facing up to 10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000. The violence in Washington and cities across the country was organized by fringe-left groups that wield a lot of influence in organizing circles. And as my colleagues at Dangerous Documentaries, the documentary-making division of Capital Research Center discovered, organizers from two communist groups, the Workers World Party (WWP) and the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO) were integral to planning DisruptJ20 demonstrations and riots across America during Inauguration Week. Their research was highlighted in the popular 20-minute documentary, "America Under Siege: Civil War 2017," which is directed by Judd Saul, and written and narrated by eminent researcher of radicals, Trevor Loudon. It may be viewed for free online at Capital Research Center's website. At time of writing, the viral hit had been viewed more than 250,000 times on YouTube after being published Thursday at 11 a.m. Eastern time. WPP First Secretary Larry Holmes, who adores the North Korean dictatorship of Kim Jong-un, vowed in a speech to prevent Trump from being sworn in as president. "Sisters and brothers, we are going to build through massive counter-inaugural protests on Jan. 20. We're going to shut this down. You know, Trump has started something. We're gonna finish it." WPP youth secretary Ramiro S. Funez boasted in a speech that DisruptJ20 would be "one of the most important political events in modern history." WPP youth leader Tom Michalak went to Moscow in 2014 as a guest of the Putin-funded group known as the Antiglobalization Movement of Russia. "The United States government is the greatest enemy of the peoples of the world," Michalak said. Another WPP operative, Caleb Maupin, spreads anti-American propaganda as a journalist and political analyst for Iranian government-controlled Press TV and RT America, which is controlled by the Russian government. "U.S. society born in racism, slavery, and the slaughter of the indigenous people, is now entering a deep political crisis," Maupin said at the New Horizon Conference in Tehran, Iran, in late 2015. FRSO leaders Mick Kelly and Joe Iosbaker also helped organize DisruptJ20. Losbaker helped organize the rioting at the March 11, 2016 Trump campaign rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Leftist violence forced Trump to cancel his appearance at the rally. This is only the beginning. Get ready for four to eight years of nonstop violent activism and turmoil. The Left never sleeps.

All References to ‘Climate Change’ Deleted From White House Website at Noon Today Marc Morano 'At 11:59 am eastern, the official White House website had a lengthy information page about the threat of climate change and the steps the federal government had taken to fight it. At noon, at the instant Donald Trump took office, the page was gone, as well as any mention of climate change or global warming.' WASHINGTON, DC — A climate of change! Perhaps the most stark contrast between the Obama administration and the Trump administration is on “global warming”. The climate differences were visible today as the White House website was scrubbed of all references to “climate change” at exactly noon today just as President Donald Trump was sworn in. Climate Depot statement: “Climate skeptics are thrilled that one of the very first visible changes of the transition of power between President Obama and President Trump is the booting of “climate change” from the White House website. Trump is truly going to make science great again and reject the notion that humans are the control knob of the climate and UN treaties and EPA regulations can somehow regulate temperature and storminess. Welcome to the era of sound science!” (Note: Skeptical Film ‘Climate Hustle’ Now Available As ‘Streaming Video On Demand’ to Greet Gore’s Sequel) Meteorologist and Weather Channel Founder John Coleman had one word to describe the White House climate website changes. ‘Hooray!,” Coleman, a climate skeptic, tweeted.

Statement By Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook on Airstrikes in Libya ‎ Press Operations Release No: NR-014-17 Jan. 19, 2017 14 PRINT | E-MAIL In conjunction with the Libyan Government of National Accord, the U.S. military conducted precision airstrikes Wednesday night destroying two ISIL camps 45 kilometers southwest of Sirte. The ISIL terrorists targeted included individuals who fled to the remote desert camps from Sirte in order to reorganize, and they posed a security threat to Libya, the region, and U.S. national interests. While we are still evaluating the results of the strikes, the initial assessment indicates they were successful. This action was authorized by the President as an extension of the successful operation the U.S. military conducted last year to support Libyan forces in freeing Sirte from ISIL control. The United States remains prepared to further support Libyan efforts to counter terrorist threats and to defeat ISIL in Libya. We are committed to maintaining pressure on ISIL and preventing them from establishing safe haven. These strikes will degrade ISIL's ability to stage attacks against Libyan forces and civilians working to stabilize Sirte, and demonstrate our resolve in countering the threat posed by ISIL to Libya, the United States and our allies.

I think they are. Getting intel about were the leadership is hiding. From the people living on the south side of the river. They should send in the Iraq special forces with our seals and take out there leadership. It would end the battle faster and save a lot of lives.

Menu ABC News US Commandos Take Out ISIS Leader in Hunt for Top Terrorists as Obama Prepares to Leave Office By JAMES GORDON MEEK LUIS MARTINEZ Jan 10, 2017, 4:05 PM ET Email PlayGetty Images WATCH Syria and Defeating ISIS: What Will Trump Do? An elite team of American commandos killed a senior leader of ISIS this week, giving President Obama another name to scratch off his list of top terrorists in the final days of his presidency. Abu Anas al-Iraqi, said to be the finance chief of ISIS, was killed Sunday in an operation in Syria by an intelligence-driven U.S. special operations unit known as the Expeditionary Targeting Force, a counterterrorism official told ABC News. "He was a top ISIS emir," the counterterrorism official said, using the Arabic term for "prince" or "leader" that is commonly adopted by jihadis. The U.S. hopes to also kill top ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed caliph, or leader, of all Muslims, who is believed to be hunkered down in Iraq's second-largest city, Mosul. Iraqi government forces and a U.S.-led coalition mounted a stalled offensive to retake the city in recent months. The official said that one other ISIS fighter was killed and that the U.S. team — under orders of the Joint Special Operations Command — conducted "sensitive site exploitation." Which means it looked for documents and electronic devices with intelligence value. No American operators were wounded. The U.S. government has not publicly confirmed the terrorists' deaths. At the Pentagon, spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis confirmed on Monday only that there was a "routine" U.S. special operations raid by the ETF in Dayr az Zawr, Syria, the day before and that it was "successful." He said the operation was not intended to rescue hostages and no one was captured or detained, as has been reported on social media. Al-Iraqi is not a well-known figure. His name occasionally surfaced in social media as well as in captured ISIS documents referring to him as a leader, and intelligence indicated he was a member of ISIS' ruling shura council. As chief accountant, he oversaw the group's war chest, derived from extortion, kidnapping and ransom, taxation in occupied territories, oil and gas sales and illicit trafficking, officials said. The death of an ISIS operative of the same name was reported two years ago, but, like many other ISIS figures falsely reported killed, al-Iraqi — a nom de guerre — apparently remained alive and in the fight until this week. The CIA declined comment today on his killing. Al-Iraqi was killed shortly after U.S. special operations helicopters began trailing a single vehicle outside Dayr az Zawr and were fired on by the occupants of the vehicle, a third official told ABC News. The helicopters fired back, disabling the vehicle and killing all the occupants. The Obama administration has racked up a number of kills as he makes way for President-elect Trump to assume the responsibility of keeping Americans safe from terrorist attacks. The dead include Hajji Mutazz, a deputy to al-Baghdadi; Abu Mohammad al-Adnani, ISIS' spokesman and external operations chief; and Abu Mohammed Furqan, an Iraqi member of the shura council who with al-Adnani oversaw the group's sophisticated, narrative-driven propaganda, which has shocked the world and drawn in tens of thousands of foreign volunteers since 2014. The top Qaeda operative in Afghanistan, Nayef Salam Muhammad Ujaym al-Hababi, was killed in a U.S. airstrike last fall, and the top Taliban emir, Mullah Akhtar Mansoor, was killed in Pakistan by an American drone in May. ABC News' Paul Blake contributed to this report. Email Comments

Like rats on sinking ship!

The guy has 9 lives. I thing he's on number 7 or 8.
