Greece’s austerity diss,                                                                                      “ . . . insulate . . .”
China’s manufacturing slump,                                                                        “ . . . tumult . . .”
U.S. prez hopefuls vs. vitriolic Donald Trump,                                            “. . .insult . . .”
Random shootings everywhere are on the rise,                                           “. . .turmoil . . .”
Race relations all over continue to destabilize,                                            “. . .embroil . . .”
West African methamphetamines trade on an upward trend,                  “ . . .kilo . . . “
