PROBLEM: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas  on Friday urged France and Europe to play a stronger role in peace efforts  insisting  he 'll no longer accept any U.S. plans for Mideast peace because of the Trump administration's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
 Abbas  met French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris a day after the U.N. General Assembly resolution denouncing President Donald Trump's decision.
 Abbas  said the United States is "no longer an honest mediator in the peace process."
"We will not accept any plan from the United States of America because of its bias and violation of the international law "  he  said.
 Abbas  also denounced the U.S threat to cut financial aid for countries who voted to back the U.N. resolution. "We call upon countries that did not recognize Palestine yet to do so to preserve the two-state solution before it's too late "  he  added.
Macron reaffirmed  his  disapproval of Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.  The French president  recalled  he  met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this month in Paris and urged  him  to make "courageous gestures" to help revive peace talks  including freezing Israel's construction of settlements on occupied lands.

SOLUTION: Abbas

PROBLEM: Appearing on CBS’s "Face The Nation" with host John Dickerson on Sunday   Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)  described  his  painful recovery from the attack by  his  Democratic neighbor as a "living hell." Law enforcement officials arrested and charged  Paul ’s neighbor  Rene Boucher  for the attack in which  he  allegedly ran up and tackled  Paul  from behind.
"It was sort of  I guess  a living hell for the first four or five weeks "  Paul  said. "Couldn't get out of bed without assistance. Six broken ribs  damage to my lungs. Two bouts of pneumonia. It was really a tough go of it  but each day I feel a little bit better. This last month  I've been doing better."
Dickerson then asked  Paul  if he has discussed with his colleagues how politics has become uglier in recent years.  Paul  was one of the Republicans that was attacked last summer during a baseball practice by Democrat activist-turned-terrorist James Hodgkinson  who attempted to murder the group of Republican lawmakers.
"You know  my colleagues come up all the time  and they want to make sure that there is some kind of deterrence  because people don`t want to think that it`s open season on our elected officials "  Paul  continued. "I was also at the baseball field when we were shot at with automatic — semiautomatic fire  and Steve Scalise was severely wounded. And I was 10 feet from a young staffer who was shot in the leg."
"We usually don't ask if someone's raped or mugged — why the person did it "  Paul  noted. "We want punishment and deterrence  and I guess that's what I'm mostly about. I just don't think of any kind of motivation or justification  whether it's political or personal  to attack someone who's unaware from behind in their own yard."

SOLUTION: Rand Paul

PROBLEM: Former Vikings coach Brad Childress  had a brief retirement â about a month â before being lured to  his  hometown team. The Bears are expected to hire  him  as an offensive consultant. SiriusXMâs Adam Caplan first reported the move.
 Childress   an Aurora native who attended Marmion Academy  spent the last five seasons on the Chiefs staff with Nagy  serving as a spread game analyst  offensive coordinator and assistant head coach last season.  Childress  has a long history as an NFL quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator under Andy Reid with the Eagles before spending five years as the Vikings head coach.
 Childress   61  retired from the Chiefs after  they  were eliminated in the wild-card round of the playoffs. In an appearance on âThe Mully & Hanley Showâ on WSCR-AM 670   Childress  was asked if Nagy could talk  him  out of retirement.
âYou never know â  he  replied. âI never say never.â
Nagy has talked about  his  belief in quarterback Mitch Trubisky  and  Childress  was also very upbeat about the second-year quarterback.
âI think those 12 games (of starting experience as a rookie) are really going to serve  him  well â  Childress  said. âItâs not ideal that you change your coordinator  but looking at  his  aptitude and watching  him  in the seven hours we had  him  (on a pre-draft visit)   he âll jump in the (play) book   he âll know what is going on.  He  will be able to get some of the fine points  and I just think youâll continue to see  him  grow and blossom.
Now  Childress   who began  his  coaching career at Illinois in 1978  will be on board to watch Trubisky develop.

SOLUTION:
Brad Childress
