    "sentence": "COMMENTARY: More questions surrounding the Las Vegas Strip shooting\nJoel Angel Juarez Las Vegas Review-Journal @jajuarezphoto The readers of my column are well aware I\u2019m not a fan of MGM CEO Jim Murren. I\u2019ve called him \u201cthe worst CEO in America\u201d because he entangled his company in radical leftist politics \u2014 including the Council on American-Islamic Relations, an organization tied to terror and called by many experts a front group for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. I actually felt bad for MGM when this tragedy first happened. But could it have happened to any Vegas resort? Or were there factors at play that led to this property being chosen for this terrible mass murder? Murren was appointed by Barack Obama to the Homeland Security Council. From that perch, Murren had insider access to the detailed threats aimed at Vegas. What did he do to prepare and adequately safeguard his guests? Several MGM security guards and ex-security guards have called my radio show in recent days. They described MGM\u2019s security as \u201cwoefully undertrained and understaffed.\u201d One ex-MGM security guard called to say Murren\u2019s first act in taking over Luxor and Mandalay Bay was to disarm most of the guards and declare MGM hotels \u201cgun-free\u201d zones. Maybe that\u2019s why the shooter chose Mandalay Bay. Why has the timeline involving Mandalay Bay guard Jesus Campos changed so many times? Did he approach the shooter\u2019s room before or after the mass murder started? If it was before, why weren\u2019t the police called? Did the shooter choose a MGM property because VIP high roller clients were free to use service elevators, thereby avoiding scrutiny? Finally, was the CEO of MGM focused on his properties? Was the security of his customers a main priority? Or was he distracted? SEC records for September reveal more than $200 million in stock selloffs from MGM officers and directors. From July 31 to early September, Murren sold more than 80 percent of his MGM stock. This certainly paints the picture of a CEO with a lack of faith in his own company. Or did Murren have one foot out the door? Was he distracted and uninterested, perhaps making plans to leave? Why else would a CEO sell off a large majority of the shares he owns in his own company? Was Murren focused on MGM security as a major terror attack was being planned at his property? Or was he too busy selling off his shares, at the right price, into the open market, without Wall Street noticing? MGM\u2019s top executives and key board members also sold huge amounts of stock in September. How about this eye-popping number? In the past three months, according to SEC Form 4, MGM insiders sold off 6,387,163 shares. Guess how many those same insiders bought? Zero. Also in September, while MGM\u2019s CEO and insiders were selling off huge amounts of their own company stock, MGM announced a billion-dollar stock buyback program. In other words, they used \u201cother people\u2019s money\u201d to buy back MGM stock on the open market to prop up the price. Talk about the world\u2019s worst conflict of interest. Shareholders were forced to spend $1 billion to buy \u201cundervalued MGM stock\u201d at the same time the CEO and his team couldn\u2019t wait to get out. Question: What if MGM had used that same $1 billion to upgrade security or hire twice as many security staff instead of to prop up its stock price while the CEO was selling? Lastly, did Murren sign for a special \u201cterrorism rider\u201d on MGM\u2019s liability insurance policy? Will a designation of \u201cterrorism\u201d vs. criminal mass murder affect the payout from the insurance policy? Could declaring this a terror act change MGM\u2019s bottom line by billions of dollars? Inquiring minds want to know. Contact Wayne Allyn Root at Wayne@ROOTforAmerica.com.

    "sentence": "Gun control would make Americans slavesIn Arizona, there is a special election to replace Rep. Trent Franks, who resigned earlier this year. Making special appearances to help the Democrat in that race are the kids from Parkland, Florida. These are the kids the left-wing media has promoted because of their demands for gun control, since the mass shooting in Parkland that killed 17. The left\u2019s obsession with gun control is nothing new. The left embraced the creation of the Brady Center to Prevent Handgun Violence after its creation in the 1980s. Other left-wing attempts to repeal and block the Second Amendment rights of Americans go further back. As a policy idea, gun control has been a disaster. Ignoring the fact that it is one of the preferred tools of tyrants, gun control simply does not work. Britain essentially banned firearms after the 1996 Dunblane massacre. While Britain, for more than 20 years, has had the kind of gun control American liberals can only dream of, the results have not been good. Crime in London is out of control. In gun-free London, a number of people have been shot to death in the last three months. Only a year ago, the BBC reported that gun crime had risen by 42 percent. How could that be? The left promises us that if we only ban guns, crime will go away. In the absence of guns, many criminals in the U.K. have turned to knives. And guess what? The politicians in Britain are now pushing knife control. The issue for Americans is not simply the removal of the right to bear arms. It is a fundamental intrusion on one of the most basic liberties someone may have. Freedom. Thomas Jefferson wrote in the draft of the Virginia Constitution, \u201cNo free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.\u201d The keywords in Jefferson\u2019s draft were \u201cfree man.\u201d One of the fundamental rights that any free man or woman has is the right to self-defense. Free people can defend themselves. Slaves cannot. The left ignores the fact that when guns are used in this nation, they are overwhelmingly used for self-defense. But it is this fundamental right of self-defense that the left challenges and would see destroyed in America. In the last 20 years in America, an alarming change has taken place in schools. Before this time, if two children became involved in a fight at school, the school would try to determine who started the fight and punish that child. No longer. Now, both children (or more) are punished. It does not matter if one child was trying to defend himself against a bully. It doesn\u2019t matter if someone else started the fight, the mere act of self-defense becomes a punishable offense. The left has this obsession with people and the nation being defenseless. They want to strip away the rights of citizens to use weapons to defend themselves. They do not like the idea of something like missile defense to protect this nation against an attack. The left loves to preach to us. They tell real Americans that it is necessary to strip away our rights to make us safe. In 1783, William Pitt spoke in the House of Commons and said, \u201cNecessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.\u201d That perfectly sums up the left. Their goal is tyranny and their objective is to reduce every American to the status of a slave. \u2022 Judson Phillips is founder of the Tea Party Nation. \u00a9 Copyright (c) 2018 News World Communications, Inc. \u2014- This content is published through a licensing agreement with Acquire Media using its NewsEdge technology.",

    "sentence": "A Grain Of Saul: Stopping Sexual Assault Is Not A Partisan Issue Or A Women's Issue. It's Up To All Of Us.A Grain of Saul is a weekly column that digs into some of the biggest issues we face as a nation and as an international community in search of reliable data, realistic solutions, and \u2014 most importantly \u2014 hope. More and more women are reporting that Harvey Weinstein harassed or sexually assaulted them. After an explosive piece in The New York Times, which cited several women's firsthand accounts of Weinstein's alleged \"sexual harassment and unwanted physical contact,\" it appears the dam has broken. Yesterday, a piece in The New Yorker quoted nearly a dozen on the record firsthand accounts of Weinstein's harassment and sexual assault and included never-before-heard audio recordings from a New York Police Department sting operation in which Weinstein appears to admit to groping model Ambra Battilana Gutierrez. Although Weinstein apologized in a statement for at least some of the behavior referenced in the New York Times article, he denied the sexual assault allegations following the New Yorker piece's release. That piece, a gut-punch for anyone holding out hope the worst wasn't true, was notably written by journalist Ronan Farrow. Farrow is the estranged son of Woody Allen, another Hollywood magnate accused of sexual assault. Those allegations (which Allen denies) were made by his own daughter, Ronan's sister Dylan. With so many accusers against Weinstein now on the record, including household names like Gwyneth Paltrow, Cara Delevingne and Angelina Jolie, all corners of the country are offering their hot takes in the discussion. Perhaps one of the most unfortunate reactions has been to politicize the story, as some conservative pundits have grasped onto Weinstein \u2014 a major Democratic donor Michelle Obama once publicly praised as a \"wonderful human being\" \u2014 as illustrative of rotten liberal America. But this isn't a uniquely Democratic problem. Fox News, a notoriously right-wing news outlet, has had to dismiss a slew of on-air talent because of sexual assault allegations. Our Republican president appeared to admit on tape to sexually assaulting women (and has also been photographed chumming it up with Weinstein). The point being: this isn't a partisan or even a political issue. This is \u2014 largely \u2014 an issue with men, specifically men who yield any kind of power. The allegations leveled against Weinstein, Allen, Bill Cosby, Bill O'Reilly, Roger Ailes, Anthony Weiner and President Trump are not unique to Hollywood or a certain political party. It's not always famous and powerful men, either: it's the Catholic Church, Penn State football, orthodox Jews, professional athletes, universities, and your local retail store. The list goes on. In many of the cases that have made national headlines, though, wealthy men in positions of significant power have leveraged their status to pressure or force women into sexual encounters. Those women are then shamed, threatened with lawsuits and silenced if they speak out.  Perhaps most unsettling about these stories is that there is almost always someone who could have stepped up and stopped the harassment or assault. In Farrow's story, he wrote that 16 former and current employees of Weinstein's companies had witnessed or had knowledge of unwanted sexual advances Weinstein made in work-related settings. Sixteen! And that's just the number of current or former employees who happened to speak to Farrow. What about all the ones who didn't? What about the ones who were too scared to speak to a reporter? Weinstein's case, again, isn't unique. In President Trump's infamous Hollywood Access tape, television host Billy Bush laughs offthe notion that Trump could simply \"grab women by the pussy\" because he was a star. His supporters and advisers dismissed it as \"locker room talk.\" Former Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly and former CEO Roger Ailes were repeatedly reported to human resources at Fox Newsand, reportedly, no action was taken. Football coach Joe Paterno was let go from Penn State because of what he may or may not have known about convicted rapist Jerry Sandusky. An entire film was made about the Catholic Church spending years trying to fend off reporters who wanted to get the truth out about rampant sexual abuse by priests. In many cases, campus rape stories include bystanders who don't intervene when a clearly intoxicated woman is taken home by a less intoxicated man. People \u2014 especially men who are in positions of power \u2014 have the ability to step in and stop these stories from happening. And we cannot forget that there are male survivors of sexual assault, and they are every bit as worth protecting. Terry Crews came out on Twitter to share a story about being assaulted by another man who allegedly grabbed his penis while Crews was standing next to his wife at a Hollywood function. Crews said he decided not to retaliate with allegations against the man because he didn't want to be ostracized, noting that \"the predator has power and influence.\" Instead, he let it go, like many women do, because he couldn't stop asking himself if anyone believe him and if the repercussions for speaking out would be life-changing. If Terry Crews, a wealthy, well-known man is wary of reporting his assault, imagine the obstacles that face many other sexual assault survivors. It's time for men to police our own communities, our own friends and our own family members. It's time for men to stop being passive observers of the kinds of harassment and overt sexism that are all too common in the spaces we dominate. It's time for men to stand up for the victims we see in our day-to-day lives, and to create spaces, environments, communities, teams, companies and homes where everyone feels safe and supported enough to speak truth to power. The issue of sexual assault cannot simply be a \"women's issue.\" It cannot be a political talking point. It cannot be a Democrat or Republican or religious or campus issue. Sexual assault is a men's issue. It is my issue. It is your issue. And it's about time we did something about it.",

    "sentence": "Trump Reportedly Is Predicting He Will Appoint Four Supreme Court Justices Image via SAUL LOEB/AFP/Getty Images Trump has told sources that he expects to appoint three more Supreme Court Justices before the end of his first term, Axios reports. Trump has already nominated conservative judge Neil Gorsuch\u200b, who was confirmed and then sworn into office in April of 2017. Gorsuch replaced \u200bthe late Justice Antonin Scalia. Trump believes that Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy, who\u200b is 81 years old, will soon be out. Kennedy is rumored to be considering retirement. You can read the exchange with Trump, obtained by Axios, below.  \"Ok,\" one source told Trump, \"so that's two. Who are the others?\" \"Ginsburg,\" Trump replied. \"What does she weigh? 60 pounds?\" \"Who's the fourth?\" the source asked. \"Sotomayor,\" Trump said, referring to the relatively recently-appointed Obama justice, whose name is rarely, if ever, mentioned in speculation about the next justice to be replaced. \"Her health,\" Trump explained. \"No good. Diabetes.\"  Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 84 years old, while Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor is just 63 years old. Sotomayor, who was appointed by President Obama, is the first Latina to serve on the Supreme Court. She was diagnosed with diabetes as a child. Ironically, Trump is the oldest person to be elected president in U.S. history. The reality television star is 71 years old. One source is quoted as saying, \"it's all about the numbers for him,\" which is not surprising because we are talking about a man who constantly bragsabout numbers, whether it be rating numbers, the size of the crowd at his inauguration or crowds for his rallies in general.",

    "sentence": "What issues divide the nation during the civil war?When the constitution was being forged, there was much discussion about what exactly the nation was to be. Some wanted only the loosest of connections between the states, with states being more like individual nations and the Federal Government being little more than a common union, agreeing to join together to protect from outside forces that would attempt to harm any state. When the northern states decided that slavery was to be illegal, southern states were concerned about how they would continue to run their plantations. The issue of \"states rights\" was one of the largest concerns during the time before the civil war broke out. Southern states wanted to decide for themselves if slavery was to be legal, not letting northern states make such decisions for them. People from the north found the practice to be so reprehensible that they wanted to force the south to stop the practice. While slavery was a significant reason for the civil war, States Rights divided the nation and the defeat of states rights was a significant blow to the efforts of the original founders of the constitution. 19 people found this useful",

    "sentence": "Islam and the Mistreatment of Women\nMany Muslims are peaceful and tolerant, and it has become fashionable in the West to portray Islam as a peaceful and tolerant religion, even in the wake of terrorist attacks like the recent one in New York. But it's hard to buy into this charade when it comes to Muslim treatment of women under Sharia law. Plainly put, Sharia subjugates women in virtually every area of their lives. Hank Hanegraaff is president of the Christian Research Institute, and host of the national radio broadcast The Bible Answer Man. Allah's decrees enshrine inequality. Although Allah allows a husband to beat his wife, there is no provision in the Qur'an for a wife to beat her husband. Nor can she initiate a divorce. Only men can do so, and with relative ease. In \"Heretic,\" Ayaan Hirsi Ali explains the shackles of sharia for women, including \"the right of men to have unfettered sexual access to their wives, the right of men to practice polygamy, and the restriction of women's legal rights in divorce cases, in estate law, in cases of rape, in court testimony, and in consent to marriage.\" According to Sharia, women (and little girls) who are captives of war can be raped by their Muslim captors. But girls who have sex outside of marriage are flogged, and women who commit adultery are stoned. Two incidents almost 14 centuries apart show just how deeply the exploitation of women is ingrained In Sharia. In August 2014, after Muslim fighters captured Yazidi villages in the Sinjar region of northern Iraq, they executed the men and adolescent boys by spraying them with automatic-weapons fire. What happened to women and children might truly have been worse. As chronicled in the Islamic State on-line magazine \"Dabiq,\" \"After capture, the Yazidi women and children were then divided according to the Shar\u012b'ah amongst the fighters of the Islamic State who participated in the Sinjar operations, after one fifth of the slaves were transferred to the Islamic State's authority to be divided.\" Captives were sent \"to Syria or to other locations inside Iraq, where they were bought and sold for sex.\" According to a report in The New York Times, one of the captives, a 12-year-old Yazidi child, was raped by a devout Muslim fighter who \"took the time to explain that what he was about to do was not a sin. Because the preteen girl practiced a religion other than Islam, the Quran not only gave him the right to rape her - it condoned and encouraged it.\" Sadly, the victim was just one of countless thousands in the history of Islam. In 627, Muhammad and his fighters invaded the villages of the prosperous Banu Mustaliq Jewish tribe on the shores of the Red Sea. As with the Yazidis, the Jewish men and boys murdered by Muhammad and his Muslim hordes were spared the unthinkable atrocities their loved ones were about to suffer. In accordance with the law of Allah, many were raped, others sold as chattel. Muhammad, revered by Muslims the world over as the founder of their religion, took a Jewish woman as booty after having her husband and hundreds more men beheaded. Then he forced her on his bed and added her to his stable of wives and concubines. Though the Yazidi and Mustaliq atrocities bookend nearly 1,400 years of Islamic history, their treatment of female captives was virtually identical. Why? Because, as chronicled in \"Dabiq,\" what the Islamic State does in the 21st century is an authentic application of the teachings and practices of Muhammad. Ayaan Hirsi Ali tells the horrifying story of a 13-year-old girl in Somalia who was found guilty of adultery after reporting that she had been raped by three men. Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow - named after Muhammad's 9-year-old wife - was dragged, screaming and flailing, into a sports stadium in Kismayo to be stoned. \"It took four men to bury her up to her neck in the hole,\" Hirsi Ali wrote. \"Then fifty men spent ten minutes pelting her with rocks and stones. Then she was dug out of the ground and two nurses examined her to see if she was still alive. Someone found a pulse and breathing. Aisha was returned to the hole and the stoning continued.\" After she died, \"a local sheik told a radio station that Aisha had provided evidence, confirmed her guilt, and 'was happy with the punishment under Islamic law.'\" When will equality-minded Americans stand up for women's rights around the globe? Hank Hanegraaff is the author of \"MUSLIM: What You Need to Know about the World's Fastest-Growing Religion\" and the host of the \"Bible Answer Man\" radio broadcast and the \"Hank Unplugged\" podcast.",

He said that the suspended Saints coaches are afraid of speaking out about their situation. \"I've been informed a lot of those coaches feel there are further sanctions being held over their head if they don't cooperate with the investigation,\" Brees said on The Dan Patrick Show, via ProFootballTalk. \"If they were to speak out on behalf of the players, maybe that's the fear they have.\" NFL spokesman Greg Aiello has told a variety of outlets that there is simply no truth to Brees' claims. \"Of course people are free to speak, as Joe Vitt has done,\" Aiello told Around the League on Wednesday. ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio reported that Sean Payton and Gregg Williams fear further retribution if they say anything. As Aiello points out, Saints interim coach Joe Vitt has spoken out against the league. Vitt wondered aloud if NFL evidence has been tampered with. After Williams' indefinite suspension was announced, the league indicated that Williams' cooperation with future proceedings would be a factor in his possible reinstatement. \"Commissioner Goodell said he will give close attention to the extent to which Coach Williams cooperates with the NFL in any further proceedings,\" the league explained in a March 21 statement detailing Williams' punishment. Cooperating with proceedings doesn't mean Williams has to take a vow of silence. But that's essentially what he's done to this point. The back-and-forth between the players and the league over the bounty evidence is seemingly never-ending. We would be surprised if the coaches got involved publicly.

Opinion Donald Trump\u2019s words hit the headlines again with reports, first in The Washington Post, that he railed Thursday against immigrants from \u201cshithole\u201d countries, such as Haiti, El Salvador and in Africa, and called for taking more people from Norway, which is nearly 90 percent white. But those who have been paying attention already suspected the darkness in Trump\u2019s heart. Today's top news by email The local news you need to start your day Recaptcha requires verification. protected by reCAPTCHA Privacy - Terms Privacy - Terms It should have been obvious from the despicable things he said about Mexican immigrants. It should have been clear from his anti-Muslim rants. It seeped through in his reaction to the deadly march in Charlottesville, Va., putting white supremacists on the same level as civil rights demonstrators. And now it\u2019s emerging again in the debate over Dreamers and Salvadorans who have been protected from deportation. Trump says he wants an $18 billion wall on the border with Mexico, and an end to the visa lottery and \u201cchain migration.\u201d His entire immigration policy seems to have the goalof reducing immigration from non-white countries and somehow boosting immigration from Europe. Trump says he wants to put America First in all matters. But this isn\u2019t the America that many of us cherish \u2013 the nation of immigrants, of the Statue of Liberty. Advocacy groups for immigrants condemned what Trump reportedly said, and Democrats plan to introduce a censure resolutionnext week. Rep. Cedric Richmond of Louisiana, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, tweeted that the president\u2019s comments \u201care further proof that his Make America Great Again agenda is really a Make America White Again agenda.\u201d The White House issued a statementthat didn\u2019t deny his slur, but defended his stand on immigration. Early Friday, Trump, who never apologizes for anything, offered a denial in a series of tweets, though it\u2019s difficult to take him at his word given his track record of lies. \u201cThe language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used,\u201d the president tweeted. \u201cWhat was really tough was the outlandish proposal made \u2013 a big setback for DACA!\u201d Later Friday, Trump signed the proclamation for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Reading prepared remarks, he called the civil rights icon a \u201cgreat American hero\u201d who preached racial equality. He refused to answer questions about the uproar, including whether he was racist. To say the scene was jarring doesn\u2019t begin to capture how bizarre it was. This is beyond the daily drama and craziness coming out of this White House, and is already hurting the nation\u2019s standing around the globe. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California said Trump\u2019s \u201cvile comments\u201d only \u201cmake the jobs of Americans stationed all over the world harder \u2013 soldiers, diplomats and businesses.\u201d \u201cWe all need to stop pretending that there are no consequences when the most powerful person in the world espouses racist views and gives a wink and a nod to the darkest elements in our society,\u201d Feinstein said in perhaps her toughest statement yet on Trump. \u201cIf the president can\u2019t control himself and lead this country with the authority, dignity and leadership it requires, then he shouldn\u2019t be the president. There\u2019s no room for racism in the Oval Office.\u201d Related stories from Sacramento Bee     Trump denies 'shithole' comment but Illinois senator confirms the remarks     Trump denies \u2018shithole countries\u2019 comment and says Haiti slurs were \u2018made up by Dems\u2019     Trump asks why US should accept immigrants from \u2018s---hole countries\u2019, sources say Yet the sad truth is that all of this may actually solidify Trump\u2019s support among some in his base \u2013 the one-third of Americans who apparently will stand by him no matter what he does or says, no matter how outrageous or unfair or damaging. For me, however, the conclusion is inescapable. He\u2019s a stain on the presidency. He\u2019s a demagogue. And he very well could be a full-on racist. It\u2019s terrible.

    "sentence": "Trump Attributes Iran Terror Attack to \u2018The Evil They Promote\u2019While officially the White House is condemning the ISIS suicide attacks in Tehran today, in keeping with their policy of being against ISIS, President Trump\u2019s own statement on the matter appeared less than wholly sympathetic, attributing the attacks to Iran \u201c falling victim to the evil they promote.\u201d President Trump has made clear since the campaign that he does not like Iran, and spent much of his recent trip to the Middle East pushing hostility toward Iran, as well as portraying Iran as being to blame for most of the terrorism in the region. That ISIS is the world\u2019s biggest terrorist organization, and that Iran has been heavily supporting both Iraq and Syria in fighting ISIS, doesn\u2019t fit into Trump\u2019s narrative, and the fact that ISIS just launched terrorist attacks in Tehran is particularly unwelcome to the US agenda of trying to spin everything wrong in the Middle East as being Iran\u2019s fault. President Trump\u2019s answer to this, then, is to remind everyone that Iran is a \u201cstate sponsor of terrorism,\u201d an official designation by the US government which means effectively nothing, and only currently applies to three countries that the US doesn\u2019t like, none of whom has anything to do with ISIS, al-Qaeda, or other major international terrorist groups.

    "sentence": "COMMENTARY: Donald Trump, candidate of changeOn the left, and among Donald Trump's conservative critics, a new debate has emerged: is the media to blame for the businessman's rise, or are Republican primary voters simply \"idiots,\" as New York Magazine's Jon Chait argued recently, and unable to recognize a con-artist when they see one? This is a false choice. There are plenty of factors that went into Trump becoming the presumptive GOP nominee, and the incessant media coverage of his every utterance and movement probably contributed to his sky-high negatives. But it's unserious, not to mention smug, to assume that Trump has been playing all of his Republican supporters for dupes. You don't need to worship Trump to vote for him. You don't even have to like him, or think he's always honest, because these are not the factors at the heart of Trump's appeal. Consider this from Michael Cooper, a writer, attorney, and liberal Democrat who lives in rural North Carolina. \"My Republican friends are for Trump. My state representative is for Trump,\" he wrote in U.S. News in March. \"People who haven't voted in years are for Trump. He'll win the primary here on March 15 and he will carry this county in the general. His supporters realize he's a joke. They do not care. They know he's authoritarian, nationalist, almost un-American, and they love him anyway, because he disrupts a broken political process and beats establishment candidates who've long ignored their interests.\" This, I think, nicely sums up the core of Trump's support. Yes, there is a cult of personality around the candidate, and some of his backers do seem to think of him as a man who can do no wrong. But the breadth of Trump's support alone indicates that we're dealing with more than just full-fledged #TrumpTrain devotees. We're also dealing with the people Cooper writes about, the ones who aren't so enthralled with the man himself but recognize him as a change agent. And the truth is that a President Trump would, of course, be a change agent. A Hillary win would likely take us to something like the pre-Trump status quo ante, which is one reason why so many D.C. and Wall Street Republicans will wind up supporting her -- they'll still know how to play the game in a second Clinton presidency.  The notable Republicans who aren't supporting Donald Trump A Trump victory, meanwhile, will undoubtedly lead to profound upheaval in our political system. The policies he'll pursue in office are still something of a mystery, but due to his lack of a real, grounding political philosophy, we can assume that he'll embrace positions to both the right- and left-of-center. In effect this would be something like a third party in American politics, and one in control of the White House no less -- a Party of Trump, which will find itself at odds with both stalwart conservatives like Ben Sasse and progressives like Elizabeth Warren. Occasionally he'll find common cause with one side, and sometimes with the other. You could even see him putting together odd bedfellows like Sherrod Brown and Jeff Sessions to pass new restrictions on trade. Any way you look at it, he would scramble everything we know about American politics. You can argue that the changes that Trump would bring to this country would be disastrous, or that he's morally and intellectually unfit for the office. But the one safe bet we have about a Trump presidency is that it would provoke a realignment in our politics and bring about an end to the elite governing consensus of the last several decades. America's many establishments -- Republican and Democrat, liberal and conservative - would all suddenly find themselves on the outs. The Democrats have signaled that they'll run on the idea that a Trump presidency is just too \"risky\" and \"dangerous.\" But that shows a real misunderstanding of his appeal as a candidate. The subtext of every Trump rally is basically take this risk, take this gamble -- it may all end in tears, but it's worth a shot. America isn't working anymore, his argument goes. It's not working for Americans, Americans know that, and all those smug elites are to blame. How do we fix that? Hard to say: Trump, remember, has a habit of contradicting himself within the same sentence when answering questions about his policy specifics. But step one is blowing up the system, and that's exactly what Trump is promising to do. Is it childish to want the political system to be completely upended even if the consequences might be disastrous? Maybe. But in a country where a plurality of Americans think that \"people like them\" were better off 50 years ago, at least according to a recent Pew survey, it should also be expected. We can dismiss Trump's voters as low-class, knuckle-dragging racists who deserve, in some sense, to suffer. But that wouldn't be wise from a governing standpoint or, for Trump's opponents, a tactical one. If you think that Trump's voters don't get what's best for them, then it's up to you to sell them on why they're wrong -- to make the case that free trade leads to cheaper, better goods for everyone, that immigration greatly benefits the economy, that a \"Muslim ban\" is immoral and would only help groups like ISIS. That the system, for all its faults, can still be reformed, and that allowing Trump to raise hell in Washington will only make his supporters' lot worse. But to just dismiss them as \"idiots\" is, well, stupid. It plays into his hands; it justifies the anti-elite impulse he's exploited. The consensus among all the poll-watchers and data-heads who have consistently underestimated Trump from the onset is that Hillary is all but certain to win in November. And they might be right. But if Trump pulls off the upset, the smugness and lack of empathy that defines too many of his detractors will be in large part to blame.",

    "sentence": "EU is much more dangerous than Donald Trump, says Leo McKinstryTheir ideological vanities are under threat as never before. The chronic weakness of their regime has been further exposed by the triumph of a US presidential candidate who does not share their devotion to open borders, the destruction of national identities and the march of globalisation. What makes Trump\u2019s victory all the more chilling for EU leaders is that he looks certain to be a strong ally of Britain as we regain our independence. Ever since the referendum, the Brussels elite has comforted itself with the illusion that Britain outside the EU will be left hopelessly isolated. The Eurocrats and their Remain cheerleaders in Britain were only too thrilled when President Obama arrogantly warned that, in the event of Brexit, we would have to \u201cget to the back of the queue\u201d for any future trade deal with the US. Donald Trump's victory has shaken up the world But the arrival of Donald Trump has transformed the landscape. He is far closer to Britain than to Brussels. It is the EU that will have to get to the back of the queue. Tellingly, the first European politician that Trump has met since his election was Nigel Farage, the EU\u2019s nemesis. The deepening sense of alarm in Brussels was reflected in the decision by the EU\u2019s foreign affairs chief, Italian socialist Federica Mogherini, to summon all the foreign ministers of the member states to a special dinner last night to discuss the implications of Trump\u2019s election. As one European diplomat admitted at the weekend: \u201cWe would never have held a similar dinner if Hillary Clinton had been elected. It shows how much we are panicking.\u201d Sensibly our own Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson refused to attend this self-indulgent feast of grief. With his gift for the original phrase, he urged EU bosses stop wallowing in their \u201ccollective whinge-o-rama\u201d and come to terms with the democratic verdict of the American people. EU leaders are too deep in their dogma to properly respond to Trump's presidency Yet, in truth, the EU politicians are so manically attached to their federalist dogma that they would not dream of adopting a pragmatic, flexible response to Trump. On the contrary, they will just use Trump\u2019s success to push for more central power, more integration, more unity. \u201cThe EU should treat his election as a wake-up call to take charge of our own destiny,\u201d says Guy Verhofstadt, the Belgian federalist fanatic. The EU will this week discuss plans to impose a European defence strategy, complete with its own EU army and military headquarters. It is precisely that kind of federalist megalomania which shows why Brussels is such a threat to the stability and peace of Europe, a far greater menace than Trump ever could be. Ever since Trump first became a contender for the US presidency there has been a fashionable narrative which paints him as a dangerous, ignorant clown who could blow up the western world with his reckless inexperience. But the real risks actually come from smug globalisers such as Hillary Clinton and the EU federalists with their contempt for national sovereignty at home and abroad. The president-elect has a chance of establishing peace with Russia It was the EU, filled with an imperialist ambition to expand its territory, that provoked an incendiary confrontation with Russia over Ukraine, whereas Trump wants co-operation with Putin. Similarly, the western policy of trying to bring down President Assad of Syria with the help of Islamic extremist rebels has only prolonged the civil war there. It will be no surprise if the war ends once Trump takes office, enabling Putin and Assad to crush the rebels. In the wake of Trump\u2019s victory the head of Nato Jens Stoltenberg said that \u201cwe face the greatest challenges to our security in a generation\u201d. But why is that? It is because the pathetic, supine ruling classes of Europe have allowed our enemies to flourish in our midst. They are destroying our civilisation from within. Through their fixation with free movement they have promoted the import of Islamic extremism and terrorism on an epic scale, while their ruthlessly imposed doctrine of cultural diversity has meant continual appeasement of Muslim militancy. Trump wants to challenge the jihadists: figures such as Mogherini, a Communist in her youth, just want to surrender to them. \u201cIslam is a victim\u201d and \u201cbelongs in Europe\u201d, she proclaims. The EU brought chaos upon Europe, not Donald Trump EU policy, not Trump, has brought squalor, social breakdown, organised misogyny and financial chaos to Europe. The filthy migrant squatter camps in France and the predatory sex attacks in Germany are the twin symbols of the nightmare that Brussels has inflicted on the continent. By condemning patriotism, undermining solidarity and slashing military spending, Europe\u2019s politicians have left the member states defenceless. And can the same rulers hector Trump about American isolationism when they refused to take any serious responsibility for the strength of their countries\u2019 own armed forces? Trump has a mandate from the American people. Unelected and unaccountable, EU President Jean-Claude Juncker and his crew have no such democratic legitimacy. Juncker sneered last week that \u201cwe need to teach the President-elect what Europe is and how it works\u201d. But it doesn\u2019t work. The entire EU project has been a catastrophic failure.",

    "sentence": "Donald Trump hits Justice Department, Huma Abedin after FBI email developmentsFollowing the latest FBI developments in Hillary Clinton\u2019s email probe, Donald Trump ripped the Justice Department and top Clinton aide Huma Abedin on Saturday, firing off a tirade during his triumphant swing through western states. \u201cIt\u2019s reported today, this morning that the Department of Justice was fighting the FBI,\u201d Trump said in Golden, Colorado. \u201cAnd that\u2019s because the Department of Justice is trying so hard to protect Hillary.\u201d Trump was referencing reports that Attorney General Loretta Lynch recommended that FBI Director James Comey not publicly disclose the new emails -- what the Justice Department viewed as a violation of its long-standing practice not to comment on ongoing investigations. \u201cThere are those, and I happen to be one of them, who think Hillary offered Loretta Lynch a reappointment as attorney general. I happen to be one of them,\u201d Trump said. Offering no proof, the Republican nominee posited that Clinton\u2019s husband, former President Bill Clinton, had bribed Lynch with the position when the two had an impromptu meeting earlier this summer on a plane in Arizona. The two met just days before the FBI completed its probe into the private email server. \u201cPerhaps, just perhaps, of course he said he only talked about golf and the grandchildren, but he was on the plane for 39 minutes, he went to Arizona, an unbelievable place, but there are those who think when he went onto the plane that\u2019s what he discussed just prior to a decision being made,\u201d Trump said. The New York real estate mogul then trained his biting attacks on Abedin and her husband, former Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner. The emails tied to the Clinton probe were found on the separated couple\u2019s electronic devices from a separate FBI investigation into Weiner\u2019s sexting scandal. \u201cDid I call him correctly, did anybody see?\u201d Trump asked, pointing to his prior criticisms of Weiner. \u201cIt\u2019s called good judgement, it\u2019s called good instincts. If you check out the tweets, or if you check out whatever it is I wrote about him, it is so perfect, I said. And that was done a long time ago, but they found, by looking at Anthony Weiner, a major, major, major sleaze, they found what may be some of the 33,000 missing and deleted emails.\u201d Trump has, in the past, wondered whether Abedin was a national security concern because of her relationship to Weiner. \u201c[Abedin\u2019s] receiving very, very important information and giving it to Hillary. Who else is she giving it to?\u201d Trump said back in August. \u201cHer husband has serious problems and on top of that, he now works for a public relations firm...So how can she be married to this guy who\u2019s got these major problems? She\u2019s getting her most important information, it could be, in the world. Who knows what he\u2019s going to do with it? Forget about her.\u201d Trump\u2019s speculation on what the newly surfaced emails contained, however, remains unfounded. The FBI has yet to release any further details about the information found in the emails. Clinton\u2019s campaign, in the meantime, has defended Abedin, with campaign chair John Podesta telling reporters on a conference call that the staff stands behind her. \u201cThere\u2019s no evidence of wrongdoing, no charge of wrongdoing, no indication that this was even about Hillary,\u201d Podesta said Saturday. He added that Comey\u2019s letter to top Republicans in the House and Senate was \u201clong on innuendo and short on facts.\u201d Podesta added that Comey knew \u201cfull well what Republicans in Congress would do with it\u201d and blasted House Oversight Committee Chair Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, in particular for taking \u201cthe opportunity to distort the facts.\u201d CBS News\u2019 Hannah Fraser-Chanpong contributed to this report.",

Or else we will show you a display of true tolerance. By crushing you.\u201d In fact, it is no longer enough to be tolerant. Prior to his resignation, Eich told tech site CNET \u201c[i]f Mozilla cannot continue to operate according to its principles of inclusiveness, where you can work on the mission no matter what your background or other beliefs, I think we\u2019ll probably fail.\u201d In the same interview, he said that he wished for those who were calling for his ouster to know that \u201cwithout getting into my personal beliefs, which I separate from my Mozilla work \u2014 when people learned of the donation, they felt pain. I saw that in friends\u2019 eyes, [friends] who are LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered]. I saw that in 2012. I am sorry for causing that pain.\u201d Wow. Eich sounds like an intolerant jerk! No, strike that. He sounds like a dedicated and thoughtful professional who was able to separate his work and personal lives\u2013as well he should have been. But to the activist crowd, it\u2019s not enough that people are tolerant. They must offer affirmation of the LGBT agenda or pay the price. Their much vaunted toleration doesn\u2019t extend to those who might have opposing viewpoints, like Eich. Of course, gay rights activists claim that Eich\u2019s views are not deserving of toleration because he sought to strip them of their rights. This may or may not be the case, but I\u2019d wager that many of them aren\u2019t such dogged defenders of rights when asked about, say, the Second Amendment. And I\u2019m hearing curiously little from these champions of freedom about the fact that 70 percent of California\u2019s African Americans and over 50 percent of Hispanics voted for Prop 8. The uncomfortable fact for the left is that 2008 was the same election in which minority voters pulled the levers in droves for President Obama. Even more uncomfortable? President Obama himself was opposed to same sex marriage in 2008. But, then, it\u2019s not about principle. It\u2019s about ramming through the \u201cright\u201d outcomes. An Associated Press piece about Eich\u2019s resignation asks \u201cwhether the episode undercuts the well-groomed image of Silicon Valley as a marketplace of ideas and diversity of thought, and whether, in this case, the tech world surrendered to political correctness enforced through a public shaming on social media.\u201d Geez, ya think? Andrew Sullivan, the unreliably conservative columnist had this to say:  Will [Eich] now be forced to walk through the streets in shame? Why not the stocks? The whole episode disgusts me \u2013 as it should disgust anyone interested in a tolerant and diverse society. If this is the gay rights movement today \u2013 hounding our opponents with a fanaticism more like the religious right than anyone else \u2013 then count me out. If we are about intimidating the free speech of others, we are no better than the anti-gay bullies who came before us.  The trite knock at the religious right is to be expected from a regular guest on Bill Maher\u2019s show, but Sullivan is right to call the gay rights activists out on their bullying tactics. And the man has skin in the game, as an openly gay man who has long supported same sex marriage. Kudos to Sullivan for recognizing that support for an issue doesn\u2019t require the squashing of all dissenting viewpoints. Liberals like to mock those who speak of the \u201cgay agenda.\u201d The real agenda, they claim, is for homosexuals to be able to live out their lives in dignity with their loved ones. Such efforts at destroying opposition unfortunately make that more difficult to believe. And activists forget that perhaps next time, they won\u2019t be the ones to define which thought crimes should be prosecuted. In a society which encourages the personal destruction of dissenters, any one of us can develop the desire to \u201cspend more time with family\u201d at any time.",

    "sentence": "Trump\u2019s anti-Muslim tweets: Pathological racism or severe mental decline?There's been a lot of talk this week about President Trump's mental state. Psychiatrists have weighed in calling him a \"very sick man.\" Former associates report that people close to him are \"deeply concerned about his mental health.\u201d It's been reported that he's telling people that the person on the \"Access Hollywood\" tape wasn't really him, and claiming (again) that he actually won the popular vote. But the most vivid and obvious evidence that Trump is becoming even more unbalanced even than before (which is saying something) comes from his Twitter feed, which has been a daily dumpster fire ever since word came down that Michael Flynn had apparently made a deal with Robert Mueller. Trump's Twitter is a window into his mind, and right now it isn't offering an attractive view. He's madly tweeted lies about his tax plan, applauded himself for single-handedly causing the stock market to rise, insulted the media, slandered old friends and condemned some of the famous men who have been fired for sexual harassment. Apparently he is more assured of his omnipotence than ever, since he was rewarded with the presidency while all those other guys have been brought low. He's put on quite a show and all of it has further degraded the presidency and embarrassed the nation before the world. But there was one series of tweets that stood out and it's so bad that it may have actually caused a diplomatic break with our closest ally. On Thursday morning, for some inexplicable reason, the president of the United States retweeted three videos claiming to be Muslim extremists perpetrating violence. One purported to show a group of Muslims pushing a boy off a roof, another claimed to show a Muslim destroying a statue of the Virgin Mary and a third supposedly showed a Muslim immigrant hitting a Dutch boy on crutches. The Dutch embassy clarified that the third video actually of two native-born dutch boys fighting, and did not involve Muslim immigrants at all. The tweets were from a vile British neofascist named Jayda Fransen, the deputy leader of a tiny far-right, anti-immigrant group called Britain First. You may recall that prior to the Brexit vote last year a Labour Party member of Parliament named Jo Cox was assassinated by a man who shouted the words \"Britain First\" before he killed her. According to the Daily Beast:  The group had previously struggled to garner mainstream-media coverage of their video stunts, which include mosque \u201cinvasions\u201d and \u201cChristian patrols\u201d during which uniformed thugs carrying white crosses attempt to intimidate minority citizens. On Wednesday, Trump catapulted Fransen and the group\u2019s leader Paul Golding, who is also a convicted criminal, into the global conversation.  Trump sent those videos out to his millions of followers; hundreds of millions more may have seen them through other social media and mainstream news by now. These anti-Muslim videos are the worst kind of hate propaganda, the kind of thing one expects to find deep in the bowels of the extremist right-wing internet. Needless to say, Fransen was delighted and thanked Trumpfor \"sharing the videos with his \"44 MILLION FOLLOWERS! GOD BLESS YOU TRUMP! GOD BLESS AMERICA!\" The reaction was swift. Prime Minister Theresa May's office rebuked the president in a statement which said that Britain First \"divides communities in their use of hateful narratives which pedal lies and stoke tensions. This causes anxieties to law-abiding people. The British people overwhelmingly reject the prejudiced rhetoric of the far right, which is the antithesis of the values that this country represents; decency, tolerance and respect. It is wrong for the President to have done this.\" Trump himself was not contrite, of course. He responded this way:  . @Theresa_May, don\u2019t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine! \u2014 Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 30, 2017  The British Parliament did not take this well. In speech after speech members demanded that Trump's invitation for a state visit (already controversial) be rescinded. Labor M.P. Stephen Doughty declared that by sharing those tweets, Trump had shown himself to be \"either a racist, incompetent or unthinking \u2014 or all three. I love America, it is a country and people of extraordinary generosity, courage, kindness and humanity \u2014 but this president represents none of those things.\u201d London Mayor Sadiq Khan said May should use \"any influence she and her government claim to have with the president\u201d to ask that he \u201cdelete these tweets and to apologize to the British people.\u201d None of that is going to happen, of course. Trump's state of mind at the moment is that following his racist instincts are what got him to the most powerful office on earth and following those instincts is the winning formula going forward. We are all well aware of Trump's bond with the old-fashioned American far right. David Duke is a big fan and applauded him for retweeting the videos. Trump thinks that one can be a \"very fine person\" and still carry a torch and march with Nazis shouting \"Jews will not replace us\" in American cities. His xenophobic rhetoric toward Mexicans and Muslims, and his barely concealed racism, have been obvious for years and were major selling points during his campaign. Trump has also shown an affinity for the neofascist right in Europe, perhaps under the influence of Steve Bannon, who has developed alliances with such groups for some time through his Breitbart International media venture. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said later that Trump did not know who Jayda Fransen was before he retweeted her, and claimed he was trying to \"elevate the issue\" of extremist violence in Europe. That's not enough. He has been retweeting white supremacists and neofascists for a long time. Quite likely he doesn't know who they all are either, but he obviously likes what they have to say and he's happy to use his platform of tens of millions of followers and the prestige of the White House to spread their message far and wide. May did not rescind the invitation to the state visit. But the British don't seem to be in any hurry to set a date either. Plans for a \"working visit\" from Trump in January have been dropped, which seems wise. Our president seems to have done something that nobody else has been able to do in Britain lately: He brought left and right together -- in mutual loathing for him. Over the Thanksgiving holiday Trump made a weird, cryptic comment to Coast Guard troops, saying, \"You never know about an ally, an ally can turn, you're going to find that out.\" Maybe he was talking about himself.",

    "sentence": "How Trump Accidentally Made Obama Great Again This post is the opinion of the the author and does not necessarily represent The Good Men Project. Today Trump has pulled the old bait & switch on a group of Americans called \u201cDreamers\u201d. The harpooning of DACA targets people who are by all accounts as American as apple pie: the children of immigrants. They take nothing away from anybody. They cost nothing and do nothing but contribute to our nation\u2019s greatness. They are fundamentally what America is all about, really. This decision illuminates the fundamental character of this administration: cruel and mean. No longer can there be any denying what Trump\u2019s agenda is. His tenure has but one goal: to eradicate everything and anything associated with Barack Obama. He hasn\u2019t even tried to hide it. I\u2019d previously written that Trump is the Middle Finger President. His one obvious competency is his capacity to give the middle finger to anyone that doesn\u2019t kiss his butt. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that Trump is the middle finger himself. He represents a minority of Americans: mostly uneducated, working class/poor whites who feel angry and left behind. They are resentful of the gains that blacks, people of color, and immigrants have made. The majority of them are economically insecure and bent on finding someone to blame because they don\u2019t have the mettle to examine themselves. White supremacy suits them just fine. Among the educated Trump supporters, most of them are elderly, in retirement, who have too much time to sit and get hypnotized by Fox News. They parrot spitting Obama\u2019s name like a foreign four letter word. Enough has unfolded in the past 9 months to clarify exactly what Trump\u2019s presidency is about, and it\u2019s clear that it\u2019s about anything but serving America. At this point, he\u2019s alienated a good percentage of his own party. No need to regurgitate the stream of officials he\u2019s fired or who\u2019ve walked away from his administration. No need to replay senior members of his own party denouncing his behavior. It\u2019s become glaringly obvious: this guy is about one thing, and that is being the stand-in for a basket of American\u2019s once labeled \u201cdeplorables\u201d. While this sounds like a petty insult, the polls have been consistent: approximately 1/3rd of Americans have deplorable views about black people, people of color, LGBT, and immigrants. They are overwhelmingly white, and while they are not all Trump supporters, ALL Trump supporters are in this demographic. This is his base. Trump has responded by making every single decision he can to appease and please them. Nothing offended them worse than Barack Obama in the White House. As such, he\u2019s dedicated his entire term to doing nothing other than wiping Obama\u2019s name from the annals of American history. The only problem (for him) is, he\u2019s actually done the reverse. Initially, it appeared that approximately 45% of the country was in his camp. This was alarming and deeply distressing for those who held President Obama as a champion of the environment, of civil rights reforms, and the people. President Obama\u2019s grace and personal skills helped pave the way for a global relationship with the rest of the world. That made many of us feel safer. In just 9 months, Trump has managed to alienate our closest allies, and wall the USA off from much of the world. We look in the mirror and find ourselves facing a toddler-like madman lobbing hydrogen bombs at us. Kim Jong Un is the perfect shadow reflection for Trump who claims to be the \u201cgreat negotiator\u201d who\u2019s going to make \u201cgreat deals\u201d all over the world. So far, he\u2019s been successful at one thing: rolling back approximately 800 of Obama deals, mostly concerning the environment, civil rights, and immigration. Look forward: 100 years from now, historians will look back to this era as the turning of the tide in American culture and politics. Trump\u2019s name will forever be etched in the books as the provocative agitator who turned America on its head. For all his publicity stunts and lust for fame, he probably didn\u2019t think it would go this way. Because of his monumental effort to white-out Obama\u2019s name from history, it will forever be impossible to mention Trump without talking about Barack Obama. History will show that trump would never have been possible if not for President Obama. Van Jones called it \u201cwhite lash\u201d. It\u2019s a rebound reaction from a white demographic entirely uncomfortable with the idea of a progressive black man in the White House. To make matters worse, Obama\u2019s a far more dignified, intelligent, and graceful man than most of us can ever hope to be. Who else could have enraged white supremacists this much? And who other than Trump could have emboldened them enough to take their hoods off and show their faces, marching while shouting racists chants with such shameless bravado? There are no more sacred cows. When he cut funding to Meals on Wheels, most of us thought, huh? What\u2019s wrong with you? Then it was school lunches for children, which prompted Michelle Obama to twist up her face (very un-Beyonce like) and say, \u201cwhat\u2019s wrong with you?\u201d Now comes DACA and the whole world screws up its face and shouts, \u201cWTF is wrong with you???\u201d Here\u2019s what\u2019s wrong with him: there is a tiny fragment of our society that applauds this sort of attitude, and he is a slave to applause. Speaking of slaves, these are the same people who, when polled said they thought slaves should never have been freed. The same people when polled said they thought white supremacists and Neo Nazis were being marginalized more than people of color. The same people who think the media is a bigger threat to democracy than white supremacists. These are the people Trump is playing to. As such, whenever he\u2019s under fire \u2013 which is often \u2013 he goes on the campaign trail and holds a MAGA rally, where he (in the words of John McCain) \u201cfires up the crazies\u201d. This is the demographic who hold his base intact, and according to polls should he alienate them, his approval ratings dip into the single digits. Trump and his tiny base have one agenda: to wipe Obama\u2019s name from the books. Unfortunately for him, in the years to come, his name will stand in the shadow of Obama as historians will establish comparisons that will have Trump turning in his gold plated grave. Thanks to Trump, by comparison, President Obama will be seen as a great visionary of supernatural eloquence and character. Trump\u2019s legacy will be pitifully tarnished as the president who did nothing but roll back Obama\u2019s reforms. He will be forever known as the president who stood for nothing more than giving a middle finger to President Obama. All to appease a racist, small minded base standing on their last quivering leg. They\u2019ve found their hero, the archetypal symbol of white supremacy in Donald Trump. In 100 years, when history looks back, it will be Donald Trump\u2019s anti-legacy that will give torque to Obama\u2019s legacy. No matter how many Obama regulations and laws Trump rolls back, whether it be the Paris Accord or Cuba or DACA, history will cast a glorious light on Obama. Much of this will we can owe to the spotlight Trump gave him. We will recognize that this dark era is the result of a progressive black man and his family coming to power, agitating the shadow of racism and white supremacy in America. Because of him, the rising up of this ugly shadow that we now see so clearly is firmly in our collective cross hairs. In 100 years, we will give thanks for Donald J. Trump for making the target so big and easy to hit. We\u2019ll be grateful for how simple he made it for us to see our disease. We will thank him for ushering in a new dream because we were finally able to cut the illness out and begin our healing. Thanks to Donald Trump, we\u2019ll be able to see Barack Obama for the great man that he was, and we\u2019ll build a monument to him upon the failures of Trump and his ilk. I bet Trump didn\u2019t see that coming.  The Secret Plan To Destroy Trump's Administration ",

A Huntington Beach police officer fatally shot a suspect outside a 7-Eleven store Friday in a confrontation that was caught on video and posted online. WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES AND CONTENT The shooting occurred about 9:30 a.m. outside the store at 6012 Edinger Ave., where the suspect got into a scuffle with the officer just before the shooting, according to a Huntington Beach Police Department spokeswoman. The suspect later died at a hospital, police said. It happened fast, and like most everything these days, was captured on cell phone video by a bystander. A Huntington Beach Police Officer, in a violent struggle with a man outside a 7-11. The man appears to be a transient, and what spurred their initial interaction is still not clear. After a few seconds of fighting...the two pull away, the man appears to have something in his hand. What it is is not clear. The officer, a few feet away, takes aim with his handgun and fires, once...twice...7 times. The suspect at first takes the shots standing up, then crumbles to the ground. It's quite graphic, quite real, and quite dramatic. In fact, we don't even want to show it on TV it's that violent. The suspect would later die at a hospital and per protocol, the Orange County Sheriff is taking over the investigation. What made this all the more scary was that diagonally across the street is Marina High School. Police ordered it ''locked down'' and immediately cell phones lit up with texts and emails between parents, students, and administrators. There was confusion and near panic among some over reports that there was an active shooter on campus, which there was not. Why? Well, it appears that the shooting happened adjacent to a shopping center called 'Marina Village'. On campus there's an area referred to as ''The Village\", so reports of a shooting in ''The Village\" or at \"The Village'' led to understandable confusion. Yet one of the benefits of social media and that fact that every student has a cell phone, is that the accurate story got out there quickly and students and parents worst fears were calmed within minutes. Cell phone video of the shooting was posted on Twitter, showing the officer firing five shots at the suspect, who stumbles, collapses against a wall of the convenience store, then crumples to the ground.",

But could the show be, at least in part, responsible for one of the scariest political movements of the present moment? Lindsey Weedston thinks so. Weedston, a 29-year-old writer from Bothell, Washington, penned an article for The Establishment recently which argued that the show helped lead to the rise of the alt-right. The piece, \" How 'South Park' Helped Empower the Alt-Right,\" grabbed my attention enough that I decided to call her up and see why exactly she thought Kyle, Cartman, and crew led us to Richard Spencer, 4Chan, and Charlottesville. Our conversation, edited lightly for length and clarity, is below. To start off, how does South Park treat what some people might think of as \"PC culture\"? I read a post that explained this really well\u2014South Park\u2019s highest moral goal is to not care. It treats PC culture as [if] the opposite of PC culture is not to care about anything. So caring about an issue is basically stupid, and pretty much every episode goes back to: it doesn\u2019t matter, being PC is uncool, and not giving a fuck about anything is the way you should feel. In your article you trace a history of that attitude, starting with the misinterpretation of a character in an Oliver Stone movie. Can you take me through that? That was interesting. So [the 1987 movie] Wall Street, I didn\u2019t know before I researched for the article that Oliver Stone actually meant it the opposite of how so many people took it. Wall Street was supposed to be an indictment of Wall Street and the type of person that thinks greed is good. It was very interesting to find that so many people actually went with the mantra \"greed is good,\" and it seems like that has shaped a lot of our culture. Now we have prosperity Christianity\u2014actually telling people that God wants them to collect as much wealth as possible. It\u2019s not just Wall Street. For a long time, our capitalist society has led up to this idea that the ultimate goal is to collect as much wealth as possible. That movie accelerated the idea of collecting all the wealth and power you can. And then you talk about shock jock\u2019s of the \u201980s and \u201990s, the Howard Sterns of the world. What does that have to do with the South Park-popularized attitude of caring being uncool? The original title of this article I pitched was actually \"The History of Celebrated Assholes.\" My first draft of the piece, I ended up researching early forms of shock and asshole comedy. I found out the person considered the first shock jock was actually a black man, Petey Greene. Howard Stern was influenced by him. It\u2019s really interesting to learn the kind of things he talked about. He was appealing because he was very down to Earth, and he spoke to the black community in a very straightforward way that no white disk jockey had ever before. When Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated, he went on air and started speaking to the community, and is credited with calming the situation down. You can go on YouTube and find some of the shows and listen to the way he speaks. It\u2019s very colloquial. He just acts like a normal person. I think white people at the time looked at that as being shocking, and that\u2019s why he was labeled as a shock jock. He was really active in the community. He promoted education and feeding the hungry. He wasn\u2019t an asshole, but history is very interesting. In my original draft, I wrote about how he influenced Howard Stern. Howard Stern was actually invited onto his show. Stern went on in black face and used the n word, and Greene thought it was funny. Greene died fairly young, so then you move onto Howard Stern\u2019s career. Howard Stern, I\u2019m sure, has done some good stuff in his life. But he is very much associated with the shock jock label, and a lot of what he does is just to rile people up. I think it\u2019s interesting how you have that transition from somebody who was just being real and communicating to his people in a way that made sense to him; and then you have Howard Stern, who makes a lot of money\u2014and in fact an entire career\u2014from pissing people off. How do you get to the alt-right from that? How does South Park's overall attitude connect to the alt-right? I believe that South Park's anti-PC messages paved the way for white supremacist groups to recruit much of the largely white male fanbase into what is now referred to as the alt-right, or other groups that are identical in all but name. Matt and Trey promoted this idea that you should be able to say or animate anything you want in the name of satire and humor, and any harm that it caused either didn't exist or didn't matter. When they experienced backlash for their intensifying mockery of already-vulnerable groups and their attitude of, \"Repeating horrible things said by bigots up to and including Nazis is funny because it upsets people,\" they reacted by depicting their critics as free-speech-oppressing caricatures like the \" PC bro.\" They promoted the idea that marginalized people\u2014trans people, people of color, Jewish people, etc.\u2014speaking out against harm caused by South Park's brand of \"humor\" and [the show's] \"I do what I want\" attitude are the real oppressors. White supremacist groups and their better-at-PR counterpart the \"alt-right\" use this message constantly to recruit young white men and boys. They tell these kids that they're the ones being oppressed by those telling them that they have privilege, and therefore need to make some effort to at least not use certain words and maybe examine prejudiced attitudes they might have picked up from a culture that is prejudiced in many ways. The alt-right promotes the idea of white male victimization, drawing in youth that has been told by South Park that the plight of marginalized groups doesn't matter and that \"political correctness\" is oppressing them. Once those groups have their loyalty, they can then indoctrinate these young guys into straight up white supremacist ideas under the guise that \"the PC police don't want you to think about this.\" I don't think Matt and Trey meant to create an army for the alt-right, but they seem to be leaning into it rather than admitting that they might have messed up. Cartman plays a big part in your article. He\u2019s often not the hero in the storylines of the individual episodes, but he is a fan favorite. Can you break down why that\u2019s a problem? Cartman is a perfect representation of satire gone wrong. Just like with Wall Street, the people who view your content take the literal meaning of something instead of taking it as the indictment that it is. It\u2019s pretty clear, especially in the earlier episodes, that you\u2019re not supposed to like Cartman. You aren\u2019t supposed to identify with him. You\u2019re supposed to hate him, or at least understand he is the opposite of the ideal of a human being. That is supposed to be represented in his bigotry, his ignorance, and his appearance as well, with him being fat. And yet he is a fan favorite, and people do identify with him. I think it was Matt Stone who said he identifies with Cartman more than any of the other characters. I think their original intention was to say, okay, don\u2019t be like Cartman. But instead, you have the opposite reaction of people idealizing his attitude and his selfishness and his desire to make people suffer and his bigotry. He has become a representation of how the fans feel that you should be. Can you talk about \" South Park Republicans\"\u2014South Park being adopted by right wingers? That plays into what I think is the logical conclusion of the anti-PC movement. Like I said in the article, there has been a rebellion against this idea of being PC. Political correctness has evolved into a derogatory term meaning, you are being sensitive to someone. It has become this big boogeyman. There is an idea that there is this social justice warrior, PC police entity who will come and yell at you and punish you if you say what you are actually thinking. So there has been a rebellion against this strawman. It has come down to, if you care about anyone at all, if you want to be sensitive to anyone\u2019s needs, then you\u2019re this politically correct nerd or you\u2019re a nun with a ruler or an authority figure telling people what to do. You are therefore uncool and the enemy. It\u2019s very reactionary. But it\u2019s so popular and so widespread on the right now, and you actually have people coming out with articles and people in the White House using that rhetoric to help further their political careers. So it\u2019s really not surprising to me that there articles out there saying South Park is right on actual political issues. What has followed South Park\u2019s wake? The first example that comes to mind is a lot of the cultural treatment of trans people. South Park has had some really transphobic content. Even before the Caitlyn Jenner episode, there was the whole treatment of Mr. Garrison and his sex change. I remember the episode where they included footage of an actual gender affirmation surgery, just saying, \"look how gross this is.\" They had a caption like, \"This is footage of the actual surgery,\" as though it\u2019s supposed to be horrible and sad because it\u2019s gross. But any surgery looks gross and disgusting. Their definite goal was to be like, this is gross and this is wrong. You see a huge amount of transphobia from a lot of alt-right groups. You have these bathroom bills that are trying to keep trans people out of public restrooms, which is basically keeping them out of public life. It\u2019s trying to keep them from having access to any kind of normal life. The sudden emergence of the bathroom bills surprised me, but maybe it shouldn\u2019t have. It seemed to come out of nowhere, but then you look at the timing and it does kind of follow Caitlyn Jenner\u2019s coming out to the public as a woman. That in itself probably would have gotten some backlash, but then you look at how popular South Park is, and there\u2019s no way it didn\u2019t play a role in people reacting the way they did: reacting like, oh that\u2019s just so gross\u2014their existence is gross and wrong. You end your essay with a call for what you call radical kindness. What does that mean? Radical kindness comes from being around young people, specifically in communities that are more social justice-oriented. In my community, I\u2019m seeing a shift towards memes being positive and used to uplift people. I think people are just tired of beating on each other and attacking each other, and the younger generations especially are starting to rebel against that. I feel like a lot of what my generation, millennials, has put out there has been negative. We\u2019re kind of a depressed generation, so I think younger people are reacting to that and deciding, let\u2019s be nice to each other. In a society where being mean to each other is the norm, kindness is punk. That\u2019s rebelling. That\u2019s what\u2019s cool.",

    "sentence": "Did climate change effect hurricanes Irma and Harvey?\nFlooded homes are shown near Lake Houston following Hurricane Harvey on Aug. 30 in Texas (Win McNamee/Getty Images). (GMG) - The question is going to be asked many times, by many people: Did global warming cause or have any impact on Hurricane Irma? What about Harvey? While there is tremendous agreement among scientists about the basic science of climate change, politics and social media have created an atmosphere where a lot of incorrect information is being bantered about. Here's the truth about the relationship between global warming and hurricanes Irma and Harvey. Scientists are uncertain about whether global warming will cause more hurricanes. In fact, some scientists say that a warmer planet will actually result in fewer hurricanes. However, that is not the entire story. A warming world means that ocean temperatures increase, too. And we all know that warm ocean water is the fuel that power hurricanes. So, even if the coming decades show a decrease in overall hurricanes, those hurricanes that do develop in otherwise favorable conditions will likely be stronger. The bottom line is that our future may be one of fewer but stronger hurricanes. Is that good or bad news? Fewer hurricanes mean a lower chance that one hits Florida. But a hurricane that does form and heads our way will likely be stronger, with a more severe storm surge and higher winds. Something else to consider is that, as the world warms, more ocean water evaporates into the atmosphere (which has been documented...it's happening). This water vapor is what hurricanes turn into rainfall. Our warmer world with higher atmospheric humidity means that tropical weather systems have more moisture to tap into, which means greater potential for increased rainfall. Statistics show that extreme precipitation events nationwide are increasing, and this also applies to tropical systems. What most people don't realize is that, as summer wanes and we transition into fall, hurricanes are the atmosphere's natural mechanism to return the summertime water vapor back into the ocean. So, hurricanes are necessary to balance the planet's water budget. The only problem is that people get in the way, and hurricanes of the future likely will have higher rainfall and increased potential for catastrophic flooding events -- also due to higher storm surges, resulting from higher sea levels from the warming climate. Now, let's apply all of this information to hurricanes Irma and Harvey: --------- Did global warming cause Irma or Harvey? No. Both hurricanes could have developed, regardless of the warming climate. Could global warming have affected Irma\u2019s record strength, or Harvey's rapid intensification, just before landfall? Harvey strengthened rapidly from a Category 1 to a Category 4 storm in just over a day, undoubtedly due to very warm Gulf of Mexico waters it traveled over in otherwise favorable conditions. It was the first Category 4 storm to make landfall in Texas since Hurricane Carla in 1961. Irma became the strongest Atlantic basin hurricane when its winds increased to 185 mph, also due to very warm ocean temperatures and otherwise favorable conditions. There is no question that the warmer ocean temperatures we\u2019re experiencing now have been impacted by the warming climate. So, global warming may have been part of the reason that Harvey rapidly intensified just before landfall, and Irma became a record-breaking hurricane. Did global warming cause the incredible rain amounts that Harvey produced? As we discussed above, increased atmospheric humidity due to global warming is making storms such as Harvey more predisposed to heavier rainfall. However, this is not the only reason Texas saw such extraordinary rain totals. Remember that most hurricanes (such as Irma) come and go: they make landfall and keep on moving. Hurricane Harvey became a tourist. It hung around for a while and meandered due to weak steering currents. While most people focus on wind, the true destructive power of that storm was water. Bands of torrential rain plagued southeast Texas for more than five straight days. Think about that for a moment: Hurricane and tropical storm-induced heavy rain bands, day after day. The bottom line is that, while global warming may have provided Harvey with extra water vapor to generate increased rainfall, the bigger reason for the catastrophic rain amounts was the storm's unusually slow movement. And by the way, there is no way to know, based upon our current knowledge, whether global warming had any impact on Harvey's slow movement. Hopefully, future research will answer that question.

    "sentence": "The 2016 Election Will Never End\nThe 2016 Election Will Never End Getty Images November 8th may just be the start. By now, you know that walking Illinois-Nazi-rally Donald Trump is finished. His polls are shit. His reputation is somehow worse than it was when he started running for office. His spokespeople are imbeciles. His ground game is nonexistent. He has a record of scandal and disgrace that will NEVER be matched by anyone ever again. (I feel like I\u2019m watching Cy Young pitch when he opens his mouth.) He\u2019s gonna get trounced. And I wish the prospect of a Trump defeat offered us all some measure of relief. I wish I could point at November 8th on the calendar and tell you, definitively, that this living nightmare will finally be fucking over. But I can\u2019t. I know that isn\u2019t true at all. I know that November 8th is only the beginning of our miseries, because one of the most depressing things about this election season\u2014which has already put America on the brink of suicide\u2014is the fact that it isn\u2019t gonna end on Election Day. We know Trump will lose, and we also now know that Trump and his acolytes have NO plans to lose graciously. Trump isn\u2019t gonna concede, and he isn\u2019t gonna go away, not when he\u2019s already achieved the wet dream of seeing his every word move mountains. He will do his best to undermine the election results, and stoke violence, and gin up perpetual outrage against the media, and he will appear on your television screen every hour on the hour\u2014summoned like a fucking genie\u2014to rail against the legitimacy of a Hillary Clinton presidency. And he\u2019ll have the unofficial support of his estranged party when he does. As much as the GOP establishment wants to treat Trump like a fart in an elevator, come November 8th they will share the exact same goal, and utilize the same truther news outlets to achieve it. It\u2019s been discouraging to watch the GOP stymie Obama at every turn for the last eight years (with Obama, at times, being far too deferential to them), and it\u2019s not like they\u2019re gonna magically grow a heart once Hillary Clinton takes office. I promise you that dipshits like Mitch McConnell will declare it their mission to thwart Clinton, and then sit on their dicks for the duration of her stay in the White House. That\u2019s how the GOP works. They deserve to go down with Trump and yet, somehow, they\u2019ll survive all this, without being forced to learn a thing. Even if they lose control of Congress, they\u2019ll find a way to regenerate and then fuck everyone. Everything Trump does in practice, they do in policy. And they\u2019ll have the support of both their donors AND the pig voters they have nurtured for years (who have been granted more anthropological empathy than virtually any other segment of society), the ones who flocked to Trump this year but will gladly stick by the Republican party because they\u2019ve been conditioned for the past three decades to cry out \"BITCH!\" any time anyone says the name Hillary out loud. These people are in each other\u2019s thrall forevermore. Wait! It gets worse! Not only will Republicans re-litigate this election into eternity, but they will have the firm backing of cable news when they do it. This election is an industry now, and cable news has figured out how to frack it for maximum resources. CNN has finally hit upon a thriving business model by having insane people lose their shit on panel shows. Shitbag insiders like Mark Halperin have mastered horse-trading access to Trump for \u201cfairness\u201d. MSNBC has paraded out a conga line of bozos like Chuck Todd (wistfully referring to Trump spokespuppet Kellyanne Conway: \u201cShe\u2019s just a very good person\u201d) and Chris Matthews and Joe Scarborough who are jussssst cynically balanced enough for the network to say, \u201cWe\u2019re liberal but we\u2019re not TOO liberal, you guys!\u201d Like the GOP itself, these networks are TERRIFIED of alienating Trump\u2019s base of racist hicks and their QVC housewives, so they bend over backward to accommodate them even as these loons scrawl swastikas on the press table.

No one ever gets written off for good the way they ought to be. During the second debate, Trump lied nearly every minute, threatened to jail his opponent, defended talking about grabbing women by the pussy by saying it was locker room talk, humped his chair, invited Bill Clinton\u2019s accusers to the debate and planned to have them angrily confront him on camera, frequently pointed at Hillary Clinton like he wanted to stab her with his Tiny Tim finger, admitted once more to not paying his taxes, and generally made the whole world uncomfortable.

Fox News will eagerly patch up the schism between Trumpites and normal conservatives in order to sell you more fallout tents and safe deposit boxes.

But I\u2019ve seen too much now. In a sane universe, the number of Trump supporters is zero. The fact that he has any support at all\u2014much less from millions of people\u2014suggests a brokenness in America that will take a long, long time to fix, if it ever gets fixed at all.

Frank; VanityFair: With Donald Trump busy spreading havoc around the world\u2014most recently tweeting about James Comey\u2019s testimony, or feeding into the crisis over Qatar\u2014it\u2019s reasonable to ask who can be bothered to gripe about Hillary Clinton.

She has even founded a PAC called Onward Together, a 501(c)(4) that will \u201cadvance progressive values.\u201d Whether we like it or not, the Clintons are back in the game.

By Brian Brinker; OpsLens: Now that Hillary Clinton is making her way back into the public spotlight, we\u2019re starting to hear a lot more about who\u2019s to blame for her loss. Of course, President Trump is at the top of her list. So too are members of her campaign staff, pollsters, The New York Times, supporters who didn\u2019t show up at the polls, James Comey, Putin and the Russians, and various others. You know whose name you\u2019re not going to find? Hillary Clinton\u2019s own. Save perhaps for President Trump, no one else is singularly so responsible for her loss than Hillary herself. Yet, she has so far proven unwilling to take any of the blame. As Hillary stated in a recent interview, \u201cI take responsibility for every decision I make\u2014but that\u2019s not why I lost.\u201d In other words, the blame doesn\u2019t fall on Hillary\u2019s shoulders, at least in her mind. However, as the nominee and candidate for president, no one else should have to shoulder as much blame as Hillary. And I say this as someone who does believe that sexism and other \u201cunfair\u201d factors played a role. Still, it wasn\u2019t sexism that inspired Hillary to ignore voters in Michigan and Wisconsin and to jet set out to California to meet with rich donors. And it wasn\u2019t sexism that inspired a largely negative campaign that focused on why people should vote against Donald Trump, rather than why they should vote for Hillary Clinton. Turns out that her campaign didn\u2019t inspire a lot of people to the polls. Sexism may have been a factor in Hillary\u2019s inability to connect with voters, especially working and middle class voters. But there were many other factors as well. Hillary has a tendency of coming off as an elitist. She can\u2019t pour a beer, she hasn\u2019t driven a car in years, and she always seemed to struggle to relate to people directly. Her campaign, meanwhile, was mostly tone deaf. After winning the DNC nomination, she largely blew off Michigan and Wisconsin. The problem is that if you want midwestern voters, you have to meet with them and respect them. You can\u2019t ignore them and skip off to sunny California to eat triple-digit meals and hob knob with celebrities and millionaires instead. To read rest of article visit OpsLens.",

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton is accusing the State Department of slow-rolling the emails being sent from the FBI to the State Department, a large number of which Clinton \"failed to disclose\" to the government when she served as secretary of state, he said. On July 15, the FBI allegedly turned over to the State Department a new disk of emails belonging to former Clinton aide Huma Abedin. The emails were apparently discovered on a laptop owned by Abedin's estranged husband, Anthony Weiner. Weiner pleaded guilty in May to sending a number of text messages and sexually explicit pictures last year to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina. There apparently are 7,000 emails from Abedin on Weiner's laptop, said Fitton, who added that State Department and Justice Department lawyers are \"claiming they have to appraise them, whether they are personal or government, and then sift through what can be shared publicly.\" State Department spokeswoman Pooja Jhunjhunwala told Circa \"\u200ethe Department takes its records management responsibilities seriously and is working diligently to process FOIA requests and to balance the demands of the many requests we have received.\" \"We are devoting significant resources to meeting our litigation obligations,\" she added. The State Department was ordered in November to process documents at the rate of 500 pages per month, but \"at that rate it would take until 2020 for the bulk to made public,\" Fitton said. So far, the State Department has produced 17 batches of documents, Fitton said. \"President Trump needs to direct his agencies to follow the the law but right now they are making a mockery of it by saying they won't finish releasing it until 2020,\" said Fitton, whose group will be heading back to court three months from now to assess the progress. \"I can understand the president's frustration because he wanted these made public. However, his Justice and State departments are making excuses of why they have to slow-roll it this way.\" Trump has made numerous assertions about Clinton and her email server. In June, he tweeted that Clinton destroyed her phones and \"bleached\" her emails. But the president's own Justice Department civil attorneys argued Thursday that there was \"diminished public interest\" in the emails. A U.S. official familiar with the case and the agencies told Circa on the condition that they not be named that \"there are still holdovers within the departments that don't want to see these emails released, so slow-rolling these requests makes perfect sense. If the president wants these emails released then he will have to demand that the agencies abide.\" Last week, Judicial Watch released 448 pages of documents the State Department did turn over from Abedin, describing what it said was preferential treatment \"to major donors to the Clinton Foundation and political campaigns,\" according to the group. \"The documents included six Clinton email exchanges not previously turned over to the State Department, bringing the known total to date to at least 439 emails that were not part of the 55,000 pages of emails that Clinton turned over to the State Department, and further contradicting a statement by Clinton that, ' as far as she knew,' all of her government emails had been turned over to the State Department,\" the watchdog group stated in a July 14 press release.",

    "sentence": "Open a Criminal Investigation of Barack Hussein Obama\nCommentary It\u2019s suddenly big news that there are perverts in Hollywood. The really big news is that former President Barack Hussein Obama\u2019s communist and terrorist-support network remains a state secret. Attorney General Jeff Sessions won\u2019t touch it. Until we come to grips with Obama, our first Marxist president with radical Muslim sympathies, we are adrift as a nation. He ran for office as a \u201ccommitted Christian,\u201d a monumental deception to conceal his record of service to the communist cause, Muslim background, and grooming by suspected Soviet espionage agent Frank Marshall Davis. As the world marks the 100th anniversary of the 1917 Russian revolution, America should take note of our own communist revolution \u2013 the eight years of the Obama presidency and his leadership of the global anti-Trump \u201cresistance.\u201d A WND story says former Trump White House aide Sebastian Gorka believes radical Islamic jihadists, China and radical leftists pose the greatest threats to U.S. national security, but that \u201cthey will be defeated by President Trump and his supporters who are restoring America\u2019s global dominance and reclaiming the country\u2019s culture.\u201d Based on the record so far, this is as likely as Hollywood coming completely clean about Harvey Weinstein\u2019s perversities. Russia is not even on the list of Gorka\u2019s top three threats! Yet Russia is behind the Jihadists, is in an alliance with Red China, and still backs the radical leftists. Gorka tells WND, \u201cThe immediate term threat is the Shia-jihadis \u2013 this is Iran, this is the Republican Guard, Hezbollah. If they get nuclear weapons, that\u2019s a game changer and that\u2019s why it\u2019s so important the president decertified the Iran deal.\u201d Yet, Iran\u2019s nuclear weapons program is made possible by Russia. Why no mention of that? And why didn\u2019t Trump cancel the Iran deal as he promised to do? In the first place, Obama should have been impeached. Under United Nations auspices, he ordered the bombing of Libya, in order to depose a ruler, Gadhafi, who had given up his weapons of mass destruction and was fighting al Qaeda. The massacre of Americans in Benghazi by Jihadists resulted from this illegal and unconstitutional war. All of this benefited the Muslim Brotherhood. Indeed, Obama issued a secret 2011 Presidential Study Directive-11, or PSD-11, supporting this radical Islamist group throughout the Middle East. National security reporter Bill Gertz said, \u201cThe directive, according to officials familiar with its contents, outlined how the administration would seek to support the Muslim Brotherhood around the world despite the Islamist supremacist organization providing the ideological underpinning for jihadist terrorism for both al Qaeda and its successor, the Islamic State.\u201d PSD-11, which is still secret, should be released by the Trump Administration and declared exhibit number one in a criminal investigation of Barack Hussein Obama. Trump was supposed to turn things around. In Afghanistan, Gorka tells WND that Trump\u2019s speech sending more American soldiers to their deaths in an endless conflict didn\u2019t use the words \u201cradical Islamic terrorism.\u201d He was upset about that omission. But Trump also didn\u2019t mention Russia\u2019s role in sending arms to a Taliban faction killing our troops. This is what we called the Red Jihad, a book quoting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as saying that Soviet/Russian support for international terrorism made radical Islam into the threat it is today. He explains that, \u201cwithout the support offered by the Soviet bloc and the Arab world, international terrorism would revert to its earlier, localized manifestations before the 1960s and would hardly dominate the global scene.\u201d If you want to defeat radical Islam, engineer regime change in Russia, which is still the global center of revolutionary violence against America. Domestically, Sebastian Gorka mentions in the WND interview the influence of Obama associates Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn in academia, but ignores how their communist terrorist networks spawned the Obama candidacy and presidency. These networks, nurtured even today by Bill Ayers in his new book, Demand the Impossible: A Radical Manifesto, are promising an uprising of some sort on November 4. The Refuse Fascism group, which is behind the November 4 protests, is a front of the Revolutionary Communist Party and its founder, former Ayers and Dohrn associate Bob Avakian. As we document in Comrade Obama Unmasked, Obama supported America\u2019s enemies at every opportunity, including the communist regime in Cuba, the communists running South Africa, and even the FARC narco-terrorists in Colombia. But he stands out during his eight years in office as the real Russian agent, who was passive when Russia invaded Ukraine and Syria, gave Russia a nuclear weapons advantage over the U.S., and awarded the Russians special trading privileges. Working with Russia, he conceived the Iran nuclear deal. However, on his way out the door, in a classic Marxist dialectical maneuver, his CIA director John Brennan launched an investigation of President Trump as a Russia agent. It was a stroke of genius that put Trump on the defensive, gave the liberal news media months of joy, and resulted in multiple Russia-gate investigations, including by a former FBI director determined to get Trump. On the 100th anniversary of the Virgin Mary Fatima revelations about Russia\u2019s threat to world peace, we also learn from Dr. Paul Kengor\u2019s new book that the Soviets were behind the May 13, 1981, attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II. The book, A Pope and a President: John Paul II, Ronald Reagan, and the Extraordinary Untold Story of the 20th Century, says Reagan\u2019s CIA director Bill Casey confirmed the Soviet role, in the face of official CIA resistance to the finding. Until the reality of Obama\u2019s communist support is examined and the secret role of Russia in global conflict exposed, the former president and America\u2019s enemies will have the upper hand. But Gorka and Trump seem clueless. \u201cChina has the most leverage to deal with North Korea,\u201d Gorka told WND. \u201cAnd the fact that the president and Ambassador Haley at the U.N. have managed to convince China that even if you\u2019re in a competition with us, you will not profit by having a nuclear war on your border and they joined us with Russia \u2013 it\u2019s a big deal \u2013 in the tightest sanctions package against North Korea in history, that tells you how big a problem North Korea is. China may be our long term enemy, but they don\u2019t a war in their back doorstep either.\u201d Does he really think another in an endless series of U.N. resolutions will make any difference? The U.N. is another communist front, designed by a Russian agent working in our State Department by the name of Alger Hiss. Have we forgotten? Working through the U.N. is a dangerous dead end. Our book The Sword of Revolution conclusively demonstrates that the \u201cSino-Soviet split\u201d was a fraud. What\u2019s more, the \u201ccollapse\u201d of Red Russia was itself a fraud, too. Together, China and Russia, combined with Obama\u2019s inaction during his two terms, have made a nuclear North Korea a reality. What\u2019s more, China is still communist. An article in China Daily, entitled, \u201cAdapting Marxism called crucial,\u201d explains how Marxism is guiding the country\u2019s future. Here\u2019s a quote: President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China [CPC] Central Committee\u2026 said that as a party upholding Marxism, the CPC should make sure its theories keep up with the times. Drifting away from or betraying Marxism will lead to the Party\u2019s losing its soul and direction as it moves forward, Xi added. Marxism is unsurpassed in achieving great heights and having a huge influence, he said. The reliance on China to deal with its nuclear client, North Korea, is another dead end. The key failure involves the inability or unwillingness to investigate Obama\u2019s global network and what his anti-American policies were designed to do. In terms of the threat within, consider that the FBI website still features wanted posters of two fugitives: Donna Borup and Elizabeth Anna Duke, both members of the May 19th Communist Organization. Filmmaker Joel Gilbert, a speaker at our upcoming November 10 National conference on Obamunism, has cited evidence that Obama was a member or supporter of the May 19th Communist Organization, an above ground support group for the Weather Underground based in New York City from 1978-1985. He notes that the May 19 Communist Organization was described by Obama pal and former communist terrorist Bill Ayers as providing \u201ca sea for the guerillas to swim in.\u201d Some May 19 members committed acts of violence and terrorism, such as the 1981 Nanuet Brinks robbery and murders, the bombing of South African offices in 1981, and the U.S. Capital bombing in 1983, notes Gilbert. He adds, \u201cI spoke with a former FBI informant who told me the May 19th Communist Organization had a weapons training camp in the Catskill Mountains, run by former Black Panthers. In addition, some May 19 members were sent to Cuba for several weeks each year with the Venceremos Brigades, a continuation of the SDS/Weather Underground program begun in the sixties, for explosives training from Cuban intelligence, DGI.\u201d Here\u2019s the big revelation: \u201cA former May 19 member I spoke with identified Obama as participating in their public protests and meetings. In his \u2018Dreams\u2019 book, Obama mentions transferring to Columbia to pursue his interest in activism and recounts attendance at some events similar to those sponsored by May 19.\u201d This might help explain why Borup and Duke are still on the loose. And why Obama never demanded the extradition of Black Liberation Army cop-killer Assata Shakur and FALN bomb-maker William Morales from Cuba. In addition to the focus on Obama, our November 10 conference will expose the Red Pope, Francis, who was Obama\u2019s collaborator after a George Soros-engineered coup forced Pope Benedict to resign. The old joke, \u201cIs the Pope Catholic?,\u201d is not funny anymore. This pope is not Catholic; he\u2019s a communist. *Cliff Kincaid has written two books on Obama, two on the United Nations, and many on media bias. His public policy group America\u2019s Survival, Inc., has produced several films and videos on America\u2019s first Marxist president and was instrumental in disclosing Obama\u2019s communist connections in Chicago and Hawaii before he was elected.

    "sentence": "EMT who performed rescues during Harvey among those who could be deported\nShow Caption While President Donald Trump is attempting to fulfill his campaign promise to reduce illegal immigration, some young adults who were raised in America are fearing deportation. Among those who could be deported is Jesus Contreras, a 23-year-old paramedic who worked six-straight days last week, rescuing fellow Houston-area residents from the flooding left behind from Hurricane Harvey. Contreras told NBC News last week that his family came to the United States when he was age 6. His family wanted to escape what he described as a \"violent situation\" in his hometown of Nuevo Laredo. After six exhausting days of saving lives, Contreras learned on Friday that Trump was considering ending DACA. DACA protects a group of 800,000 American residents from deportation. Those 800,000 young undocumented immigrants were those who entered the United States as a child and have been in the United States since 2007. Those who qualify under DACA are given two-year work permits, which allows them to stay in the United States with some legal status. \"We just got hit by a hurricane here \u2014 and now we're getting hit by another storm, an even bigger one,\" Contreras told NBC News on Friday. The threat of getting deported made it more challenging for first responders during Harvey, Contreras told the Houston Chronicle. \"People were scared that boats from U.S. immigration services were out there,\" Contreras told the Chronicle. \"People weren't sure if they were trying to round up people from the water and take them straight to the immigration center.\" On Tuesday, Trump is expected to announce that DACA will come to an end in six months. The six months give a deeply divided Republican-held Congress an opportunity to do something it has struggled to do: Immigration reform. While Trump was on the campaign trail, he promised to end DACA. But since being elected, Trump said that those under DACA \"shouldn't worry.\" In the meantime, people like Contreras continue to go to work not knowing how many days they have left in America. \"These are families just like anybody else,\" Contreras told NBC News. \"We're as American as can be.\" Copyright 2017 Scripps Media, Inc.

    "sentence": "Crime Watch Daily joins hunt for missing Little Rock teen Ebby SteppachUPDATE May 22, 2018: The Little Rock Police Department has recovered human remains in Chalamont Park, the last place Ebby Steppach was seen. May 25, 2017: Crime Watch Daily joins in the hunt for a missing Arkansas teenager whose parents fear she may have been kidnapped and forced into the dark world of sex-trafficking. Ebby Steppach, 18, was planning to go to the Little Rock Police Department to report an alleged sexual assault. But before she could make talk to cops -- she vanished. She's a young woman who has become famous in Little Rock, Arkansas for all the wrong reasons. \"Everyone knows Ebby,\" said KARK-TV reporter Mitch McCoy. \"Ebby is the 'Little Rock Girl.' You can say the name Ebby Steppach and most people will know who you're talking about.\" She went to a house party to kick off the weekend. But that was the end of the good times for 18-year-old Ebby. \"Ebby went to a party on a Friday night and had been assaulted, and there was a videotape,\" said Ebby's mother Laurie Jernigan. And it's the beginning of a nightmare for her and her family. \"She got extremely upset about it and was threatening to go to the police about it. And then two days later she disappears? Yes.\" And now only Crime Watch Daily tracks down a key witness who sheds light on the frightening possibilities. Laurie Jernigan says her daughter Ebby is a joy to have around. But Ebby has an independent streak too. \"When she started pushing the boundaries, it was 'I have a car of my own, I should be able to come home when I want,'\" said Laurie. When Ebby got that first car, a whole new world opened up, and she's taking the ride all the way. \"She didn't realize the danger,\" said Laurie. One night Ebby heads to a party in Little Rock. \"She did have bad influences on her life, some that I didn't know,\" said Laurie. The next morning Ebby sends a frightening text message to her friend Gage Fulton. Gage read the text out loud on a phone call to private investigator Monty Vickers, who recorded the conversation. \"I was hanging with some dudes last night and we smoked and I had sex with one of them and he [----]ing recorded me dude, like when I wasn't looking.\" Videotaped during a sexual encounter -- Ebby doesn't tell Gage who did it. But he tells Vickers that she is horrified and confused. Vickers: \"Did she tell you that she was raped?\" Fulton: \"She said she felt forced into it. Her last text message to me is 'I am going to go kill myself.'\" But Ebby doesn't kill herself. She is enraged, and plans to do something about it. That same night, she again sends a text, this time to her stepfather Michael Jernigan while he is at dinner with the family. \"An incident had occurred at that party that she wanted to discuss, and discuss with the police,\" said Michael Jernigan. \"There had been an encounter with a particular individual at that party that he had videotaped.\" Michael leaves a message with Ebby that he's heading to her grandparents' house where she is staying. But he gets no response. \"I called over to her grandparents to ask if she was over there. They stated that she left, said that she was going to meet me,\" said Michael. But Michael says there hadn't been an arrangement to meet anywhere. And it is the last contact he ever has with his stepdaughter. But suddenly the family hears from Ebby the next day when she answers a phone call from her brother Trevor. Like everyone else he has been trying desperately to reach her. \"She answered and he said 'Where are you?' And she said 'I'm out in front of your house,'\" said Laurie Jernigan. \"So he hung up and says cool and he goes out there and she's not there. So he calls her back. She answers and she says she's messed up and he said 'Where are you?' And she said 'I'm in my car,' and he said 'Where is your car?' And she said 'I don't know,' and hung up. And that's the last time anyone's talked to her.\" And now the family is truly alarmed and terrified for the fate of their Ebby. \"He called the police immediately, and he said 'You've got to look for her car. I know something is wrong. Something's happened,'\" said Laurie. \"They listed her as a runaway and they weren't going to look for her.\" No possibility that she just decided to leave town on her own for whatever reason? \"She would move out and hang out, which was really unusual, but she would never run away and not talk to her family,\" said Laurie. And Ebby's family is searching for her everywhere. Until days after her disappearance, they suddenly get news that leaves them thunderstruck once more. Ebby's abandoned car is reported at a nearby city park by security guard Guy Hooper. A surveillance image shows her car on the road shortly after she went missing. But police are not saying exactly where or if anyone was in the car with her. \"I called Little Rock and notified them that the car had been sitting there for three days, and they had gotten the car and taken it in,\" said Guy Hooper. \"It was devastating. I can't describe to you how bad that was that night. Finding her car and not her, you might as well tell me she was dead. It was unimaginable,\" said Laurie. And what police find in her car only deepens the family's fear that something terrible has happened to Ebby. \"What 18-year-old leaves her cellphone or their clothes? Her makeup? She spent all of her money on makeup. Her contact lenses, she can't see without contacts,\" said Laurie. But Laurie says she still cannot convince police that Ebby is a victim of foul play and not a runaway. \"No matter how hard I tried I could not get detectives to do anything about it,\" said Laurie. Not only that, Ebby's family says they still don't know if some of the people who were with her at that party have even been questioned by police. Stepdad Michael Jernigan says Ebby gave him some names in that last text conversation, but he will not reveal them for fear of jeopardizing the ongoing investigation. \"I know two of the individuals,\" said Michael. Do the police know who they are? \"Yes.\" Ebby Steppach, 18, has been missing for weeks after disappearing on Oct. 25, 2015. And the alarming possibility that she has been sex-trafficked haunts everyone who knows this case. How does the sex-trafficking work? \"They pick up this girl, lock her up in a room, feed her with heroin, keep her doped up,\" said private investigator Monty Vickers. \"They charge guys to have sex with her, to the point where she is just a zombie slave.\" The best-case scenario is Ebby is still alive, but being sex-trafficked.  \"That's the worst-case scenario to me,\" said Ebby's mother Laurie. \"If she's not with us anymore, she's in peace.\"  The search for any sign of her goes on, with no results. Ebby's family hires private investigator and former Little Rock Police detective Monty Vickers. He says he tries to help the department work better with the family. \"The last thing that we need to do is to run out here and start our own investigation and interfere with the police investigation in some way, so we basically did nothing other than try to communicate with the police department and stay in communication with the family,\" said Vickers. But he still does a lot of digging himself. About five months after Ebby goes missing, he visits security guard Guy Hooper, the man who reported Ebby's abandoned car at a city park. We tracked down Guy Hooper ourselves, and he gave us the shocking details about seeing Ebby with two young black men in the park only days before she disappeared. \"It was late evening, I advised them all, everybody to leave the park, which they did,\" said Hooper. \"Then a few days later I run into her again with another young black gentleman. This time they were in the back seat of the car. And the third time she was back with another couple gentlemen.\" He's sure it was Ebby? \"Yes sir,\" said Hooper. \"After I saw the pictures of her later on, of course -- I didn't have a name at the time.\" And Hooper says he notices one guy in particular, who he says is there all three times. \"They were hugging, kissing back and forth,\" said Hooper. Does he remember what these guys looked like, especially the one she was close to? \"He was about five-foot-six, five-seven, had long dreads,\" said And his eyewitness account is about to go ballistic when we show him what we've brought along with us. There was a bust involving sex-trafficking that took place in Louisiana but the individuals that were arrested many of them have connection to Little Rock. We showed Hooper their mug shots to see if he recognized any of them. \"It's this middle one on the top and the gentleman on the left,\" said Hooper. Which individual was the one kissing and hugging Ebby? \"This gentleman right here, the guy with the dreads,\" said Hooper. How positive is Hooper? \"About 70 percent. I'm pretty sure this was the gentleman that was directly with her,\" said Hooper. It is a stunning development that could have a major impact on the search for Ebby. The man with the dreadlocks is Keith Pruiett, 21, of Little Rock. Police in Arkansas have not connected him with Ebby's disappearance. But Pruiett was recently charged with human-trafficking and promoting prostitution near Shreveport, Louisiana. Also charged in that case in Louisiana is 23-year-old Gary Jackson of Little Rock. Gus Hooper also pointed out Jackson as the second man he believes he saw in the park with Ebby. Both men are currently in jail in Louisiana awaiting trial, and we have been not been able to contact them or anyone representing them. Little Rock Police have not named either man, or any suspects, in Ebby Steppach's disappearance. We don't know if the Little Rock Police Department has ever seen the potential bombshell evidence that Crime Watch Daily has brought to the table. So Crime Watch Daily went right over to the station and hand it to them personally. We couldn't get the lieutenant or a detective on camera, but we ran into Public Information Officer Steve Moore out front. \"I'm trying to find him and I'm going to call the assigned detective and give him this also,\" Moore said. Police say they are actively pursuing the information we provided them. \"I think there's a lot more to the story,\" said KARK-TV's Mitch McCoy. McCoy from has been on the story since Ebby first went missing. \"I think that there are a lot of unknowns with this case that sooner or later will come out. The question is when,\" said McCoy. McCoy interviewed retired detective Tommy Hudson, who recently worked on the case. Today Hudson says the investigation is back on track. He won't discuss sex-trafficking, but he does lean toward foul play. \"My opinion is is somebody has her and somebody's done something to her,\" McCoy tells Crime Watch Daily. And Ebby's family says that they are now satisfied that police are doing everything possible to find their daughter. \"I have full confidence in who has her case now,\" said Ebby's mother Laurie Jernigan. \"I can actually sleep at night knowing that there are those looking for her. Thank God we have someone now, we have people now that understand that and check on that as soon as they can.\" Ebby Steppach stands 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs about 110 pounds. She also may have dyed her blond hair black after her disappearance. Crime Watch Daily investigates sex-trafficking epidemic in U.S.",

Is the White House trying to pull a fast one on us by using a Melania Trump stunt double? See the \u2018proof\u2019 on Twitter that has voters convinced our FLOTUS is a fraud! There\u2019s a lot to dissect here, but first things first: why would the White House need to deploy a Melania Trump stunt double? Nobody really knows the answer to that question, but it doesn\u2019t have anyone less convinced that President Donald Trump had a Melania decoy by his side during a press conference on the White House lawn on October 13. The masterful conspiracy theory was posited by intrepid internet explorer Andrea Wagner Barber, who posted a video of the presser on Facebook. Andrea pointed out that Melania didn\u2019t look exactly like herself, and thousands on Twitter agreed. Watch the video below, and scroll through this gallery of Melania Pics to see if you can spot the difference! To the casual viewer half-paying attention to another POTUS and FLOTUS appearance, there\u2019s really nothing amiss about Melania. It\u2019s when you look closer that you see some subtle differences. \u201cMelania\u201d \u2014 if that\u2019s her real name \u2014 is wearing massive sunglasses that cover half her face. Chic, or suspicious? Her lips appear to be much bigger and differently shaped. As some have pointed out, her hair is a little frizzy and dry, far from the pristine condition she usually keeps it in. Could it be a wig? Pay attention to the president, too. He says, \u201cMy wife, Melania, who happens to be right here\u2026\u201d Why would he need to point that out? Is he letting the world know that this isn\u2019t Melania, and the real one\u2019s chilling in Air Force One? Thinking about it, this isn\u2019t the first time that he\u2019s seemingly been confused about Melania\u2019s whereabouts while they happen to be in the same room. During their trip to Texas to visit the victims of Hurricane Harvey, he said, \u201cMelania wanted to be here today\u201d during a press conference. Melania was standing directly beside him in her FLOTUS hat. Did Melania stay home and send out a decoy in her disaster heels? Of course, the most logical answer here is that Melania was simply having a bad hair day, wore a little too much lipliner, and on impulse bought a pair of sunglasses that her friends haven\u2019t told her don\u2019t work yet. Or\u2026the conspiracy theorists have a valid point. Political decoys have been used throughout modern history to protect high-powered individuals from harm, or to attend to duties they cannot fulfill themselves. However, the technique\u2019s been used very sparingly, and most likely wouldn\u2019t work for someone like Melania. Let these voters tell you why they\u2019re absolutely convinced we\u2019ve got a bodysnatcher in the White House: HollywoodLifers, do you think the White House is using a Melania Trump stunt double? Let us know!",

    "sentence": "Highlights, outtakes from Obama's 60 Minutes interviewWith the end of his second term on the horizon, President Obama spoke to 60 Minutes this week, reflecting on his achievements -- and on the problems not yet solved. At the top of that list is the protracted crisis in Syria, where more than 250,000 people have died, according to UN reports, and some 12 million have been forced from their homes. Correspondent Steve Kroft asks President Obama about the lack of progress in Syria, but Obama says improvement takes time. \"In a situation that is as volatile and with as many players as there are inside of Syria, there aren't any silver bullets,\" he says. One of those players, Kroft points out, is Russia, which recently stepped up airstrikes and naval bombardments in support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. President Putin \"is challenging your leadership, Mr. President,\" Kroft says. Obama disagrees. \"Steve, I've got to tell you, if you think that running your economy into the ground and having to send troops in in order to prop up your only ally, is leadership, then we've got a different definition of leadership,\" he says. Kroft and Obama discuss domestic issues as well, including gun violence. At a press conference after last week's mass shooting in Roseburg, Oregon, Obama urged the country to do more to prevent these tragedies. In the unaired clip below, Kroft asks the president if he can personally make a difference. Obama acknowledges that his options are limited. \"We are running out of administrative actions that could really move the needle in reducing gun violence in this country,\" he says. At the same time, he adds, \"it is not realistic to think that this Congress will pass any common sense gun safety legislation.\" But that doesn't mean a public outcry can't effect change, Obama says. \"The most important thing I can do right now is just to keep on lifting up the issue and saying, 'It doesn't have to be this way,'\" he tells Kroft. \"I genuinely believe that.\" The two-part interview also touches on the 2016 presidential race, and the candidates on both sides of the aisle. Kroft asks the president what he thinks of GOP frontrunner Donald Trump. \"He is, you know, the classic reality TV character,\" Obama says. \"At these early stages, it's not surprising that he's gotten a lot of attention.\" As to whether that attention will evaporate, the president declines to speculate. \"I'll leave it up to the pundits to make that determination,\" Obama says. \"I don't think he'll end up being president of the United States.\" At different moments in the interview, the president turns reflective, taking stock of his time in office and eyeing the year ahead. In the unaired clip below, he tells Kroft that, at this point, he's learned to trust his instincts. \"The nice thing about being a veteran in anything is your fear kind of goes away,\" he says. \"There's no doubt I'm better at this job now than I was when I started.\" At the end of the interview, Kroft asks Obama if he's glad he can't run for president again. Obama says he feels a mixture of satisfaction at what he's accomplished and a desire to still do more. \"But by the time I'm finished, I think it will be time for me to go,\" he says, adding that new blood in the White House is essential for a healthy democracy. \"Do you think if you ran again, could run again, and did run again, you would be elected?\" Kroft asks. \"Yes,\" says Obama, without missing a beat.",

I was honored to speak out on behalf of American values and our democracy.\" Transcript: \n STEPHEN COLBERT: Folks, I am terribly excited, because she was first a First Lady, then a Senator, then Secretary of State, and I would have bet anything the next President of the United States. Please welcome Hillary Rodham Clinton! [audience cheers and applause as Hillary Clinton walks out; she shakes Stephen Colbert's hand as they greet each other warmly; a large part of the audience gives her a standing ovation; she takes her seat on stage to extended cheers and applause] COLBERT: Thank you so much for being here. CLINTON: Oh, Stephen, it's good to see you. COLBERT: It's good to see you. It's an honor to have you here. CLINTON: Thanks! COLBERT: You have a new book. It's called \"What Happened.\" And I don't know how else to start this interview, other than saying: What happened?! [audience laughter; Clinton laughs] What happened? CLINTON: Well, that's the question I try to answer. COLBERT: Okay. CLINTON: Yeah, because it was the question I asked myself starting on election night. COLBERT: Mm-hmm. CLINTON: And I started\u2014 COLBERT: What time on election night? [audience laughter] CLINTON: Ugh! Well, as I write in the book: Midnight. [shrugs] Midnight. COLBERT: Yeah, I remember. CLINTON: The dark time of the soul. Midnight. [audience laughter] COLBERT: Yeah, I'm waiting for it to not be midnight soon. [audience laughter] CLINTON: Yeah, right. And so I \u2014 I was asking it like you just said: What happened?! You know? And I figured, maybe I'd better try to find out, to figure it out. So that's why I dove into this book. It was, ah, very painful and difficult, but, at the end, I really feel like I've done my very best to lay out what happened so that it doesn't happen again. I mean, that's my primary goal here is so that it doesn't happen again. [lengthy audience cheers and applause] COLBERT: Well, a lot of people have said, \"Oh, I, boy, I wish Hillary Clinton would just go away.\" CLINTON: Yeah. COLBERT: \"Just go away.\" CLINTON: Well, you know, if they take up a collection and send me somewhere really nice\u2014 [audience laughter] COLBERT: Really? [chuckles] CLINTON: I might consider it! COLBERT: Really? Yeah! CLINTON: But it, you know\u2014 COLBERT: Obama's on David Geffen's yacht a lot. You could go with him. [audience laughter] CLINTON: [shrugs] Well, you know, I \u2014 I am not going anywhere. [massive audience applause] COLBERT: Well, I'm glad you're not! CLINTON: So. [extended audience cheers and applause; Clinton smiles and chuckles] COLBERT: I agree. At first I could understand some of those calls \u2014 people saying like, \"The Republicans are tearing themselves apart; don't give them, you know, someone to rally around in opposition to,\" because you are a convenient figure for them to unite against. CLINTON: Right. COLBERT: But I actually do not think that's how what's happening to our government is going to be stopped. I think it's people who are willing to be civically engaged and believe in the promises and the progress of the last fifty years that will save this country. CLINTON: I agree completely\u2014 COLBERT: So thank you so much for not going away. CLINTON: \u2014absolutely completely! COLBERT: But wait a second: It must not have been easy. CLINTON: No. COLBERT: It must not have been easy to write this book. CLINTON: It \u2014 it wasn't easy! I mean, it was painful. It was horrible reliving it, and, you know, being as candid, open as I could be about the mistakes I made and talking about those. But also trying to come to grips, as I write in the book, about everything from, you know, sexism and misogyny, to voter suppression, to the unusual behavior of the former director of the FBI, and the Russians. And the Russians! \u2014 and you have been sounding the alarm about this \u2014 because I believe so strongly that they think they succeeded in messing with our democracy, and I just can't abide that, so\u2014 COLBERT: Do you think they succeeded in messing with our democracy? CLINTON: Yes I do. I do. I do. Because\u2014 COLBERT: To what degree? Like, influencing the vote? Or influencing opinion? CLINTON: Influencing voters, and therefore influencing opinion, I think is becoming clearer and clearer. I don't know what the Congressional investigations and I don't know what the Special Counsel investigation are going to find; I'm gonna wait for that. But I don't think anybody can with a straight face say that the Russians did not set out to influence our election, and they did so. This latest revelation about the way they bought ads on Facebook and targeted them \u2014 we're gonna find out a lot more, Stephen. And I am saying as clearly as I can \u2014 I feel like I'm a bit of a, you know, a Paula Revere; I'm trying to sound the alarm about this [audience laughter and applause] \u2014 is that the\u2014 You know, you've gotta understand what Putin's strategy is. He really doesn't like democracy. He thinks it's an inconvenient, messy process. And he doesn't like us, and he wants to destabilize our country; sow doubt about our democracy. I mean, these latest revelations, where you had Russians pretending to be Americans \u2014 so you had fake Americans, with fake news, and fake stories, and fake demonstrations \u2014 that wasn't just because he's bored and has nothing to do. He wants to undermine how we see each other, how we respect each other, how we support our institutions and our society. So, I think that they believe they had a good outing in twenty-sixteen, and I think that they will be back in twenty-eighteen and twenty-twenty, unless we stop them. [audience applause] COLBERT: Now, you mentioned that he \u2014 that Putin doesn't like democracy and he doesn't like America; part of the speculation is that he specifically doesn't like you. Do you think this was personal on a certain level? CLINTON: I think it was mostly about the role I played as Secretary of State, which he did morph into a grudge against me, because I would say things like, you know, \"The Russian people deserve free and fair elections. They deserve to have a democracy.\" COLBERT: Questioning the legitimacy of his election in two-thousand eleven. CLINTON: The parliamentary elections, that's right. And, so, our intelligence community and others have said that he did have a personal grudge against me\u2014 You know, I don't take it personally. I think it's part of his worldview, which is all tied up with his anger, his disappointment in the collapse of the Soviet Union, and his feeling that we're his number one rival \u2014 he wants to really undermine the European-American alliance. And so I see it as: I was doing my job \u2014 I was honored to do my job, to stand up and speak out on behalf of American values and our democracy \u2014 and, partly because I'm a woman, which does seem to get him a bit agitated\u2014 [audience cheers and applause] And he actually has said that, um, some things about that\u2014 COLBERT: Has he \u2014 did he ever say anything to you personally that demonstrated his misogyny? CLINTON: Well, he demonstrated\u2014 As I write in the book, you know, there's an expression, we certainly know it in New York, called manspreading. [audience laughter] COLBERT: [chuckling] Yes. CLINTON: And every time I met with him, it would be\u2014 [spreads her arms and flops back in her chair, taking up lots of space] Okay? [audience laughter] The whole deal! And, so, I'd go to meetings with him\u2014 One in particular, we were in his dacha outside of Moscow, and the press comes in, and he just berates America about one of the many things that annoys him about us, and then the press leaves, and I've got four or five things we're trying to deal with him and Russia on \u2014 and I always came to my meetings with him trying to find something that I could actually engage him about. So, we went through the economy and human rights and all these other things that are critically important, and he was, you know\u2014 [mimes staring off into space] Like, as President Obama once said, like the bored guy in the back of the room. He couldn't care less. Then I said: \"You know, I am really pleased to hear that you care about wildlife conservation, and that you are trying to save species in Russia, like Siberian tigers and polar bears.\" Then he came alive! And then we had an interesting conversation, so\u2014 COLBERT: [mimicking Putin] \"I wrestle polar bears!\" [audience laughter] CLINTON: Yeah! \"I wrestle po\u2014\" No, he said to me, so he said: \"Come with me!\" He takes me down the stairs, down this corridor, into the door \u2014 all of his security guys are jumping up, because we weren't expected \u2014 into this inner sanctum with this huge desk and the biggest map of Russia I think exists, and he started telling me he's \"going here to tag polar bears.\" And then he says to me: \"Would your husband like to come?\" [audience gasps and laughter; Clinton grins broadly] And I said, \"Well, you know, I'll ask him, but, if he's busy, I'll go!\" [she grins as the audience cheers] COLBERT: We're gonna take a little break, and when we come back, Secretary Clinton and I just might break out the chardonnay.

    "sentence": "Did 'Antifa' Stab a Vermont Man for Not Condemning a Nazi?A group of anti-fascists attacked and stabbed a man outside his home in Vermont for not condemning a local white nationalist. On 16 August 2017, the right-wing web site BigLeaguePolitics.com reported that a Vermont man was attacked by an \u201cantifa mob\u201d \u2014 a description the alleged victim said did not come from him. Sam Wormer, the subject of the story, told us that he was met by five men outside his home a night earlier. Two of the five men, he said, attacked him directly while the other three \u201cjust kinda hung back,\u201d but he disputed the story\u2019s premise blaming anti-fascist groups:  I honestly dont think antifa had anything to do with this. I personally believe this was a false flag attack perpetrated by the far right to further their own agenda.  Big League Politics interviewed Wormer after he posted a picture of himself on his Facebook page with a visible cut to his stomach, which he told us came from a box cutter blade. The caption read:  This is social justice apparently. This is what i get for sticking up for someone. Cowards.   Wormer\u2019s attackers have not been identified. He said that even though he was called a \u201cNazi\u201d and a \u201cfascist\u201d, he did not describe them as being anti-fascists, either. He said there is a loosely organized antifa group in the area, which contacted him after the incident \u201ctrying to figure out what happened [and] who\u2019s responsible, and have been very very supportive\u201d. Wormer, who has not sought medical attention but filed a police report after the attack, first attracted media attention when he was interviewed in a Burlington Free Press story about Ryan Roy, a local man who was fired from his job after being identified as one of the participants in a white supremacist march held in Charlottesville, Virginia on 11 August 2017. Roy described himself as a white nationalist and supporter of President Donald Trump to the Free Press. He also said:  Obviously I would advocate for racial separation and racial nationalism or repatriation or even a return to \u2014 our country was a white country up until the 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act.  That legislation, which was signed into law by then-President Lyndon B. Johnson on 3 October 1965 and went into effect in June 1968, did away with quotas for immigrants to the U.S. based on their country of origin and instead gave priority to immigrants whose relatives already lived in the country, as well as those with \u201cspecialized skills.\u201d. According to Wormer, he was \u201ccompletely shocked\u201d to see Roy in a Vice News report about the rally and did not agree with his beliefs, but still opposed subsequent demands online for him to be fired or lose custody of his child.  Taking away somebody\u2019s job and livelihood \u2014 I mean, that\u2019s just adding fuel to the fire. I don\u2019t think any good is going to come of this on anybody\u2019s side.  He said that he was attacked shortly after he made a separate comment about Roy on Facebook, which read:  I believe he\u2019s doing what he truly believes is right, and despite all the anger and hate pointed his way right now he stands by his choices. There\u2019s a lot to be said for that. I respect him for that, and I won\u2019t stand with those people who are trying to have Ryan\u2019s child taken away or have him fired. I can\u2019t, he and his family have done too much for me. Sorry but my allegiance is with Ryan no matter his choice, even if I can\u2019t agree with him. You can hate me for it, but I stand with my decision and if any violence comes his way I will stand with him. I don\u2019t agree with his actions but he has stuck up for me and other marginalized people when nobody else would. That is what family does.  Wormer said besides the attack on him, his roommate and his roommate\u2019s mother also received death threats, including \u201ca threatening call\u201d. Wormer also told us that Roy contacted him after the attack:  He and his mother both reached out to me and made sure I was okay and safe, and thanked me for standing up for him.  Police in Essex Junction, where Wormer lives, told us they have \u201cnothing currently to report\u201d on the matter. But Wormer said he would press charges if the people responsible were caught. \u201cI don\u2019t want anyone else to get hurt,\u201d he said.

Email us at [email protected] for more information.  Screen Shot 2015-12-01 at 10.29.56 AM Obviously the big story of the day is the massacre that occurred in Las Vegas last night at a Country Music concert, where at least 50 people were killed by a man from a 32nd floor hotel room at Mandalay Bay casino. Naturally this has already been politicized, with people arguing about immigration, gun control, and all things Trump. Oh and Hillary said this:  The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots. Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get. \u2014 Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 2, 2017  But yea, Trump is the only one who tweets dumb things. Good thing the democrats gave us a viable alternative in 2016 that we could really get behind. Those machine gun silencers are a real killer. Anyway, we have no interest in going all political about this. Maybe Jay Dub will. Just not my cup of tea. What we do is always find the worst people on the Internet and see what they have to say about this tragedy. Today\u2019s winner is an illiterate drug dealer from Hartford named Allen Lozada, AKA AP El Titere. Here\u2019s his initial reaction to the mass shooting: He might not have finished his GED, but he basically sees the world the same exact way 99% of employees at CNN do \u2013 everything is Trump\u2019s fault. And those crackas who were peacefully watching a concert in Vegas? They deserved it. The whole thing was a big setup to draw attention away from hurricane relief in Puerto Rico. He was just getting started though: But he\u2019s one of the good guys because he admits to donating his profits from drug transactions towards disaster relief: Oh yea, he\u2019s a winner. And you\u2019ll never guess who his favorite bouncing ball team is\u2026.. There\u2019s gonna be a lot of talk in the days and weeks ahead about banning whatever guns were used in Las Vegas. But I think we can all agree that what REALLY needs to be banned are flat brimmed Chicago Bulls hats and anyone who is inclined to wear them. There are plenty of responsible, law abiding gun owners out there. But there has never, ever, ever been a decent, law-abiding person who has chosen to wear that thing on their head. If you know anyone that owns that hat, disassociate with them immediately. They will only bring you down. He even rocks the Chicago Bulls winter hat when he\u2019s pouring out some Henny for the homeys in the January: Easy on the Henny Allen \u2013 it\u2019s not good for your bowels: I know when I die I want people to come to my headstone and drink copious amounts of Red Bull and Henny, the nectar of the hoodrats. He really misses his boy, who I\u2019m sure lived a noble and worthwhile life, because now that Sito isn\u2019t around, he doesn\u2019t have anyone to come scoop him up to he can \u201cturn up on these fuck n words\u201d: You can also find Allen Lozada on Deadbeatdirectory.com, with his own profile: Oh good, he\u2019s a cokehead deadbeat \u201cdad,\u201d who allegedly threatened to choke his baby until she turned blue. Shocking. Especially considering his overall philosophy on women: When he eventually gets killed by a cop and SJWs pretend like his death is an actual loss to the community, he wants you to commemorate him by burning Hartford to the ground: He\u2019s very familiar with the inside of a courthouse: He lives the good life by cashing in his SSI check for stays at the Marriott: Last year things were beginning to look up for Allen. He was trying to stay out of the police logs, and gave himself one Internet cookie for going a full month without stabbing, shooting, or running over someone with a car: He gets another Internet cookie for going four days sober: And he\u2019s going legit because the \u201cfeds out here snatching everybody\u201d: Also this: I have no idea what that means, but it sounds important. VERY important. Anyway, it is gonna be interesting to see what the killer\u2019s motivation was in Las Vegas. He shot at a country music festival. A place that more than likely was filled with people who voted for Donald Trump. Not saying that\u2019s his motive, but he could\u2019ve shot up any large group of people and he chose this one. Just sayin. Either way, Allen Lozada is a useless sack of gutterpubes, and the 50+ who died in Las Vegas are much, much bigger losses to society than he could ever be. We urge you to support the following local businesses. They provide terrific services for the community!

Gupta Patel Slams New Bill Passed To Teach Your Kids Anal Sex In Public School And He\u2019s Fired Up Like A Samosa Fresh Out The Pan! Want to advertise with Turtleboy? Email us at [email protected] for more information. Everyone knows and loves Gupta Patel \u2013 Turtleboy\u2019s crazy Indian Tech Guy and proud convenience store proprietor. He\u2019s never blogged for us before but something caught his eye in the news that sent him reeling. Let\u2019s give him a warm welcome as he has a meltdown about the statehouse deciding to teach kids as young as 12 how to safely take it in the back door! Your uncle Gupta read this one news article last night and choke on his Vodka Slushee! Last Thursday, the Massachusetts Senate passed new sex education package by a 31-6 vote in favor. Look like the usual chutiyas in the statehouse been drinking the same strange flavor KoolAid again.  Take a look at this nutty-ass booshit: From New Boston Post\u2014 As it did in 2015, the Massachusetts Senate passed a bill nearly entirely along party lines on Thursday dictating how school districts teach sex education; and just like two years ago, the biggest sticking point for the bill\u2019s opponents was the lack of an opt-in stipulation for parents and guardians. Unlike in 2015, however, it is likely this version of the bill will reach the House floor for a vote, but it remains to be seen if lawmakers on the other side of the State House attach the failed parental opt-in amendment touted Thursday by House Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester). Following the 31-6 vote in favor that saw the only Democratic opposition come from state Senator Michael Rush of West Roxbury, Tarr praised the \u201crobust and healthy debate\u201d that transpired Thursday afternoon but expressed \u201chope that as it makes its way through the legislative process\u201d that lawmakers outside the Senate will wind up adopting proposals like a parental consent stipulation. The bill\u2019s lead sponsor, state Senator Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett) took issue with Tarr\u2019s opt-in proposal. \u201cThis amendment would gut the bill,\u201d DiDomenico claimed, noting that the legislation already features an opt-out amendment for both parents and school districts. \u201cThis amendment would effectively take all the work we put together and throw it out the window. \u201cWe do not have opt-in for science, math, English \u2014 we don\u2019t have any opt-in initiative for any other subjects in our schools \u2014 this subject in particular could save lives.\u201d Other Democrats who spoke out in opposition to Tarr\u2019s amendment included state Senator John Keenan of Quincy, Worcester\u2019s Harriet Chandler, and Boston\u2019s Sonia Chang-Diaz. Keenan and Chang-Diaz added that a parental consent requirement would add an unnecessary level of bureaucracy, with Keenan claiming that it \u201cwould require school districts to chase down the parents of every single student\u201d while Chang-Diaz noting that \u201cmany of my colleagues in the chamber in the minority are avid proponents of small streamlined government.\u201d Chandler claimed that an opt-in provision would result in a \u201cvery limited number of people who would be taking advantage of it.\u201d \u201cThe alternative of what we\u2019re talking about is our children learning about these behaviors from what they hear on the school bus or read on the Internet,\u201d she added. State Senator Vinny deMacedo (R-Plymouth), responding to Keenan\u2019s point, used student field trips as an example of opt-in protocol. \u201cI don\u2019t think that\u2019s an impossible hurdle to overcome,\u201d he said. \u201cThe reality is that asking parents if they\u2019re comfortable with this or not is not a stretch by any means.\u201d Tarr appeared to take issue with the claim linking parental approval to an added layer of bureaucracy. \u201cWell well well, it is interesting that some of these folks have stood at this microphone and suggested somehow that obtaining parental consent is so burdensome that we shouldn\u2019t follow through with this,\u201d Tarr quipped. \u201cSuggesting that the role of a parent should be subordinate to the role of bureaucracy, now that\u2019s a deeply concerning thought.\u201d Tarr also challenged DiDomenico\u2019s claim that an opt-in provision would \u201cgut the bill.\u201d \u201cThat somehow this bill is jeopardized by the fact that we might want to involve parents in the decision making \u2014 what does that suggest about the priorities of the bill?\u201d Tarr questioned. \u201cIt suggests that somehow we ought to subordinate the role of the parent to the role of the state. \u201cIt\u2019s also been suggested that we don\u2019t have opt-in provisions for math, science, and other things, well that is true, but we also don\u2019t have opt-out provisions for those things, because they don\u2019t fit the same matter as the subject matter that we\u2019re discussing here.\u201d Conservative organizations, including the Massachusetts Family Institute, are vehemently opposed to the bill over the proposed curriculum\u2019s subject matter, which suggests that instruction regarding sexual aspects such as anal intercourse is age-appropriate for children as young as 12.Some of the instructional material approved by state education officials was created by Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts. \u201cIf you have to have an affirmative act from a parent in order to go on a school trip, should you not have to have the affirmative act of a parent to be involved in education that involves morality, subjective judgment, and important health matters?\u201d Tarr said. \u201cI think the matter speaks for itself.\u201d DiDomenico responded to Tarr\u2019s argument by noting he is not looking to subvert the role of parents and countered that he \u201cwould put this in the same category as English, math, and science.\u201d \u201cIn some respects I\u2019d put it ahead of those subjects,\u201d DiDomenico added. \u201cThere are life-ending, life-long consequences, and a critical mistake can change their lives forever.\u201d State Senator Barbara L\u2019Italien (D-Andover) also spoke, mentioning an incident in which her older sister became pregnant during high school. \u201cGetting married at age 17 locked her into a life of virtual poverty,\u201d L\u2019Italien said. \u201cI wish there had been accurate health information when she was a student back in the \u201970s, I think her life might have changed dramatically. \u201cThere are times when government needs to be proactive, and protective, and this is one of those situations.\u201d Sweet Baby Vishnu! The anal sex education is age appropriate for 12 year old? What fucking version of goddamn Kama Sutra they been reading? The Paul Georgio translation? This Hindu had the very very bad nightmares after reading this news! In my dream, my daughter, Gupta Jr, was back in the grade school. I was watching my favorite American movie \u201cMansion of Blood\u201d and Mindy Robinson was just about to show all the peoples her hot hot Samosas when my daughter come running through the door, She say \u201cPapa! Papa! I have the question about the sex!\u201d And I say \u201cYes my little one, I have been preparing for this conversation long time. Ask your papa your questions\u201d. She say \u201cPapa, when will it stop hurting my ass so much?\u201d Your old Uncle Gupta almost had the bad heart attacks! \u201cAs it did in 2015, the Massachusetts Senate passed a bill nearly entirely along party lines on Thursday dictating how school districts teach sex education; and just like two years ago, the biggest sticking point for the bill\u2019s opponents was the lack of an opt-in stipulation for parents and guardians.\u201d Really? Uncle Gupta think the biggest sticking point probably gonna be the anal sex. Seriously though. You can opt out of goddamn Pledge of Allegiance in school in Massachusetts without facing the punishments, but you can\u2019t opt out of learning how to send your pork soldier to the battle in Brownsville? \u201cThe bill\u2019s lead sponsor, state Senator Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett) took issue with Tarr\u2019s opt-in proposal. \u201cThis amendment would gut the bill,\u201d DiDomenico claimed, noting that the legislation already features an opt-out amendment for both parents and school districts. \u201cThis amendment would effectively take all the work we put together and throw it out the window. \u201cWe do not have opt-in for science, math, English \u2014 we don\u2019t have any opt-in initiative for any other subjects in our schools \u2014 this subject in particular could save lives.\u201d Ganesha, please take me now, These chutiyas gonna drive this humble Hindu to carnivorism. \u201cJohnny, study the maths and the science good so you can be great physicist someday!\u201d \u201cSusie! finish your English homeworks so you can be excellent writer someday.\u201d Mary! Make sure you don\u2019t miss any of the Massachusetts mandated sex education class so you can be great wide receiver some day!\u201d In the name of heavenly teacher Guru Deva please reincarnate these people as pimples on Kim Kardashian\u2019s face at bukake session after Black Lives Matter rally. State Senator Barbara L\u2019Italien (D-Andover) also spoke, mentioning an incident in which her older sister became pregnant during high school. \u201cGetting married at age 17 locked her into a life of virtual poverty,\u201d L\u2019Italien said. \u201cI wish there had been accurate health information when she was a student back in the \u201970s, I think her life might have changed dramatically. Ms. Barbarabhen! Did you really just say \u201cDamn, my sister\u2019s life would be so much better now if only she had taken the rusty trombone in her swamp starfish that one time instead of in her hoo-ha.\u201d?? It Take one real classy lady to say she wishes her niece or nephew had taken a wrong turn down Willy Wonka\u2019s garbage chute. Uncle Gupta don\u2019t think it\u2019s too strange that Barbara L\u2019Italien advocating for taking it from the behind. Nobody gonna want to be looking at this in the face during the hot nookie-nookie session..  Holy mother of Kali! Blowjob from this one probably count as anal anyways. No surprise here really . Both L\u2019Italien and Chandler recently vote to give themselves fat pay hike, so they have lot of experience stuffing the pepperonis in the peoples hot pockets. This one Hindu here don\u2019t know about you, but when I see Hariette Chandler\u2019s face, the first thing that come to mind not going to be anal sex:  Sweet baby Hannuman! Her ass probably look like dying Yoda\u2019s forehead. Going to work up her Lincoln Log Factory probably sound like punching a fist into the open jar of Miracle Whip! (Miracle Whip! Two jars for five dollar at my Main South Happy Hindu Mart Convenience Store in Worcester. Next five minute only.) She so old her dunghole probably look like the hopper on a meat grinder after Porketta night. This one Sonia Chang-Diaz though?  Would. This Hindu just saying. \u201cThere are times when government needs to be proactive, and protective, and this is one of those situations.\u201d I agreeing that government should be protective and proactive. Maybe if they had voted to give the Police the Kevlar Vests instead of giving their fat samosa asses big raise it would have been good start. Educating the 12 years old child about anal sex? Not so much. You know what going to happen in the class full of 12 years old kids when teacher start talking about the anal and oral sex? Gonna be like comedy scene in bad Hindi movie. Maybe not during class, but afterwards they gonna make the fun. \u201cRectum? Damn near killed him!\u201d joke gonna get old real quick in the cafeteria. State Legislators are calling this bill the \u201cHealthy Youth Act\u201d. That really nice way of putting it. As usual with these \u201cDheela Lund Ni Olaad\u201d (That my Gujarati language for \u201cSons of the broken penis\u201d), the devil is in the details\u2026and Uncle Gupta all about the details! One of the textbooks approved in the bill is called \u201cGet Real: Comprehensive Sex Education That Works,\u201d put out by the Planned Parenthood. Book is only available in bundles of 50, and this thrifty Indian man not buying if he can\u2019t find the coupon or get the good deal. I ferret couple passages out on the internets for you. You\u2019re welcome. One lesson teaches the childrens that A dental dam is \u201cplaced over the vulva or anus during oral sex\u201d. Then it goes on to say the people can also use the \u201cNon-Microwaveable Saran Wrap\u201d. Papa Gupta spend most of his daughter\u2019s pre-teen years yelling at her to do the healthy things. \u201cDon\u2019t touch that! Do not step in the dog mess! Don\u2019t put the statue of Baby Krishna in your mouth! Wash Your hands before eating! Use the Purell after shaking Senator McGovern\u2019s hand!\u201d. Now, she would have to go to school next day and learn how to toss the big salad?? It\u2019s ok though\u2026. Happy Hindu Mart sell plenty of non-microwaveable Saran Wrap. This handsome Indian TurtleBoy don\u2019t think Saran Wrap company be too happy knowing sex education class teaching the children to use their product to cover the chocolate cannoli. Another lesson talk about using the \u201c internal condom that is inserted into the anus.\u201d They say it acts as a barrier but warns that \u201cit may slip out of place during vaginal or anal intercourse and may be difficult to insert.\u201d Wait\u2026what you say? I had to call my cousin the Gastroenterologist about this one. Dr. Dharmendra Tubupyeresh. I say \u201cHey, Dharmendra, you ever hear of such thing?\u201d He say to me \u201cGupta, you been lighting up the porn hub again? Yes there is such the thing.\u201d He send me over this picture. \u201cInsert two fingers inside the condom and gently push it into the anal cavity. The inner ring can be removed after inserted if desired.\u201d Lovely. 12 year old gonna learn how to shove the ziplock bag up the friend\u2019s wazoo before doing the zoom-zoom in the boom-boom. When Uncle Gupta first read this news, he knew something smell funny\u2026and not just the anal sex! Then this bald prick rears his ugly head and everything make sense\u2026  Senator Jamie Eldridge. You might remember him from such blogs as these. This bhenchod one real professional turtle poking man! In my former country he would not have been problem because we would have already kill him already. Notice how he don\u2019t tweet about the content of the bill\u2026only that the Mass Senate GOP (all six of them) oppose it. Let me tell you something, Senator Jamie\u2026nobody going to oppose young adults learning the safe ways to make the sweet nookie-nookie, but not letting parents opt them out? What kind of glass dinka-doodle you been smoking from? This Hindu gets it. Too many kids having the sex at young age\u2026 Definitely should be options available to teach healthy sexual practices to children, but if any citizen ever texted the contents of some of these lessons to a child, they would go to the prison. And we all know what happen in prison. Dunghole come out looking like Saarlac sand monster from the Return of the Jedi. Anyway, this Hindu try hard to reach these senators on Twitter but they not responding. Wonder why.    Namaste TurtleBoy Nations! May the supple trunk of Ganesha goose your buttocks!",

Observers said Trump meant to contrast his vulgar leaked 2005 audiotape with the allegations from the women about their mistreatment at the hands of the Clintons. \"It's so important...when people are talking about... the words that Donald Trump uttered--he's very embarrassed...he's apologetic for those words,\" Juanita Broaddrick, 73, told Sean Hannity. Broaddrick has accused Bill Clinton of sexually assaulting her in 1978, and has said that Hillary Clinton attacked her character after she came forward with the original accusations. \"I've never heard one apology for what Hillary Clinton did to me after she threatened me after her husband raped me. I did have an apology from Bill Clinton, although he'll never admit it--I'd like to see him do it in-person,\" she said. Broaddrick added that she \"feared\" a Clinton presidency because she suspected that Hillary Clinton would seek retribution against her for speaking out once more.

    "sentence": "WATCH: Jimmy Fallon passes on monologue to reflect on Charlottesville protests\nTonight Show host Jimmy Fallon lost his mother Saturday, November 4, 2017. Gloria Fallon died at age 68. NEW YORK (WTHR) - Jimmy Fallon passed on the usual jokes to share his thoughts on the weekend protests in Virginia. \"What happened this weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia was just disgusting,\" Fallon said. He said he watched the protests and became \"sick to my stomach.\" He added that he was concerned about the effect the news would have on his young daughters. \"They're two years old and four years old, they don't know what hate is. They go to the playground, they have friends of all races and backgrounds, they just play, they laugh and they have fun,\" Fallon said. He said children need parents and teachers who they can look up to for guidance, as well as \"leaders that appeal to the best of us.\" The \"Tonight Show\" host called out President Donald Trump, saying it was \"shameful\" that the president took two days \"to clearly denounce racists and white supremacists,\" adding that Trump likely did so only after public pressure. \"It's important for everyone, especially white people in this country, to speak out against this. Ignoring it is just as bad as supporting it,\" he said. Fallon paid tribute to 32-year-old Heather Heyer, who died when she was struck by a car during a counter-protest in Charlottesville. \"I can't look at my beautiful, growing, curious daughters and say nothing when this kind of thing is happening,\" Fallon said. You can watch Fallon's entire speech in the video player above. The \"Tonight Show\" airs weeknights at 11:35 on Channel 13.",
