<p>Fox News contributor <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/tomi-lahren" type="external">Tomi Lahren</a> knows how to push the right buttons.</p>
<p>In a heated discussion on <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/fox-news" type="external">Fox News</a>’ “Hannity” Thursday, Lahren jumped at the chance to comment on sexual assault claims that have brought down high-profile men in politics and entertainment since the Harvey Weinstein scandal.</p>

<p>Hannity then gave Lahren the floor to address Tarlov. “Do you really think that that’s fair, in every case, to take a woman’s story as gospel and not ask any questions?” Lahren asked in a clip posted by <a href="https://www.mediamatters.org/video/2017/12/07/foxs-tomi-lahren-i-dont-think-its-right-every-woman-just-believed-about-sexual-assault/218777" type="external">Media Matters</a>. “The Democrats not believe in due process?

<p>While President <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/donald-trump" type="external">Donald Trump</a> was inside the Pensacola Bay Center auditorium in Florida on Friday night, <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-beverly-nelson-young_us_5a2af93ee4b0a290f050a005" type="external">urging people to vote</a> for Senate candidate <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/roy-moore" type="external">Roy Moore</a>, Ivanka Trump’s pointed comment on accusations against the Alabama Republican was plastered on a political ad outside.</p>
<p>The giant ad covered the sides of a truck that was parked across the street from the auditorium and then was driven around the rally. The ad featured a giant photo of <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/ivanka-trump" type="external">Ivanka</a>’s face along with her cutting comment about <a href="https://www.apnews.com/b9a66f37fe074f30ad896bfa9be68ece/Ivanka-Trump-says-child-tax-credit-%27not-a-pet-project" type="external">Moore in an Associated Press interview</a> last month. “There’s a <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ivanka-trump-roy-moore-child-abuse_us_5a0cb104e4b0b37054f42875" type="external">special place in hell</a> for those who abuse children,” she said. (She also said in that interview that she had “no reason to doubt the victims’ accounts.”)</p>
<p>She criticized Moore just days after The Washington Post reported he had had inappropriate relationships with teens when he was in his 30s. One woman said he <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/woman-says-roy-moore-initiated-sexual-encounter-when-she-was-14-he-was-32/2017/11/09/1f495878-c293-11e7-afe9-4f60b5a6c4a0_story.html?utm_term=.224774d52509" type="external">removed her clothing</a> and groped her when she was just 14.</p>
<p>The ads were arranged for Trump’s Pensacola rally by <a href="https://americanbridgepac.org/about/" type="external">American Bridge</a>, a liberal group and PAC.</p>
<p>“Try as Trump and the Republican Party might, there’s no way to escape the truth about Roy Moore or Ivanka Trump’s own words,” American Bridge spokeswoman Allison Teixeira Sulier said in a statement. “It’s a <a href="https://americanbridgepac.org/" type="external">disgusting new low</a> that the President, the RNC, and the rest of the Republican Party are trying to help send a pedophile to the US Senate, and the American people won’t soon forget it.”</p>
<p>The New York Times reported last month that Trump was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/25/us/politics/trump-roy-moore-mcconnell-alabama-senate.html" type="external">angry with his daughter</a>for speaking out against Moore.

<p>President Donald Trump forecasted that Bernie Sanders would run against him in 2020 “even if he’s in a wheelchair,” and mocked the Vermont senator by imitating a scrunched-up body.</p>
<p>Trump expressed that opinion over the summer when he invited four Democratic lawmakers to the White House, and also asked, “Who is going to run against me in 2020? Crooked Hillary? Pocahontas?” the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/09/us/politics/donald-trump-president.html?mtrref=www.google.com" type="external">New York Time</a>s reported on Saturday.</p>
<p>At 70 years old, Trump was the oldest president to be inaugurated in the U.S. Trump, now 71, is nearly five years younger than Sanders, who would turn 79 in 2020.</p>
<p>Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) speaks during a rally against President Donald Trump's travel ban outside the Supreme Court in Washington, DC, U.S. January 30, 2017. REUTERS/Aaron P. Bernstein Reuters</p>
<p>But Sanders’s wife Jane in June said that the senator was actively advocating for policies benefiting the working class and that his age wasn’t a factor.</p>
<p>“Ageism is the last ‘ism’ that seems to be acceptable to people, and I never felt that it was whether somebody was too young or too old,” she told the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/13/us/politics/bernie-sanders-progressives-presidential-election-2020.html" type="external">New York Times</a>. “You win some. You lose some. And you keep on going and maybe you can win the next one.”</p>
<p>Bernie Sanders, who lost the Democratic nomination to Hillary Clinton last year, has started addressing some of his political shortcomings including his lack of foreign policy connections, a sign he may be gearing up for a 2020 bid, <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2017/11/27/bernie-sanders-2020-elections-258160" type="external">POLITICO</a> reported late last month.</p>
<p>Other Democrats that Trump called out over the summer have not indicated they will make a bid for the presidency.</p>
<p>After Trump in October tweeted he hopes Clinton will run against him, Clinton told BBC Radio 4, “No, I’m not going to run again,” but that she would continue to speak out against Trump.</p>
<p>Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, who Trump refers to as “Pocahontas” because she claims to have a Native American background, is considered a top Democratic contender. In August, <a href="https://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/08/06/elizabeth-warren-says-shes-not-running-for-president/23067703/" type="external">she brushed off the idea</a>, saying, “I'm doing my job every single day. I am not running for president, I'm doing my work."</p>
<p>Meanwhile, some <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/trump-2020-election-white-house-manafort-696089" type="external">Republicans recently have cast doubt</a> over whether Trump will seek reelection—even though he is raising millions of dollars for a campaign.</p>
<p>New Jersey Governor Chris Christie in October told the Today show that if Trump runs again, “I would support him, yes, but I'm not so sure what will happen."</p>
<p>Shortly after, Senator Rand Paul said Republicans "need to know (if) President Trump (is) running for re-election,” and, “I think you won't know that until you get into sort of second, third year of his presidency."</p>
<p>Trump’s approval rating has remained very low as a probe into whether he and his campaign colluded with Russians in the 2016 election widens.</p>

<p>Ever since a 2015 poll revealed that a certain slice of Americana supported bombing Agrabah, the fictional city Disney's Aladdin calls home, it's been interesting to consider what other fictional countries have actually messed with the United States and totally gotten a pass. Agrabah didn't actually damage its relations with the U.S., presumably because the U.S. either doesn't exist yet in that world, or because they don't have oil.</p> Or because Magic isn't considered a WMD... yet.
<p>Meanwhile, a number of other countries have attacked America and/or its American heroes and haven't yet met the full-on retaliation they deserve.</p> 1. Pottsylvania — "Rocky and Bullwinkle"
<p>These guys have been sending special agents to try and kill American heroes FOR YEARS. Pottsylvania is populated entirely by special agents and saboteurs.</p>
<p>Their children are taught assassination techniques and espionage practices from an early age, their highest medal is the Double Cross and their mysterious dictator (known only as "Fearless Leader") makes Kim Jong-Un look like a teddy bear. Their two most active agents are skilled infiltrators and have never been captured.</p> They are pictured on this surveillance photo, planting an IED. 2. Bilya — "Iron Eagle"
<p>Bilya is supposed to be a fictional Arab state in the Middle East. These guys had the balls to shoot down an American F-16, capture its pilot, and then sentence him to hang in a show trial.</p> This is not the face of someone who is just going to let that happen.
<p>Luckily, the pilot's 16-year-old son Doug (an Air Force Academy reject) and Chappie, an Air Force Reserve pilot, steal two F-16s of their own and fly off to Bilya to rescue him. What should have happened was America launching an all-out raid on Bilyan infrastructure and military targets. Then, after they released the American they took for no reason, the Bilyans would pay us back the $18 million they owe us for shooting down our F-16.</p> 3. Val Verde — "Commando," "Predator," and "Die Hard 2"
<p>This nondescript South American country has more coups than a flock of pigeons (say that sentence aloud for the full effect). For some reason, all of their worst representatives seem to end up in the United States, ready to coerce American heroes to do their bidding.</p>
<p>Fortunately, John Matrix lives inside an unlimited ammo cheat code world.</p>
<p>In "Commando," a deposed dictator named Arius kidnaps John Matrix' daughter to force him to kill the current president (of Val Verde). Spoiler Alert: he doesn't even make it to Val Verde. Instead, he ices every single person who came near his daughter.</p> I hope Val Verde at least has good veteran's hospitals.
<p>In "Die Hard 2," terrorists hit an airport to free another captured dictator, ruining John McClane's Christmas, everyone's flight schedules, and never taking any blame for what they do.</p>
<a href="https://assets.rbl.ms/17244250/origin.jpg" type="external" /> And that is United Airlines' job.
<p>In "Predator," Dutch Schaeffer's commando team has to mount a hostage rescue from guerrillas in Val Verde. You might know what happens next (hint: it has something to do with an invisible alien).</p> "Well, he has plenty of time to bleed now." (20th Century Fox)
<p>Seriously, how many times do they get to mess with America before we do something about this? Who is the President in this movie universe? And I am dying to know more about this place – what are the exports, other than terrorism and contras?</p> 4. Latveria – Marvel Comics Latveria: a perfectly normal country.
<p>Latveria is an Eastern European nation tucked back into the Carpathian Mountains, led by a guy whose name is freaking Dr. Victor von Doom. Even George W. Bush could convince the world that this guy needed to be ousted, and he wouldn't have to throw Colin Powell under a bus to do it.</p> Besides, Russia already has a Dr. Doom.
<p>Dr. Doom is obviously a state sponsor of terrorism. Doom is responsible for the proliferation of chemical weapons, attempted assassinations of allied heads of state, and oh so many crimes against humanity.</p> And like many 20th century dictators, Dr. Doom got the Henry Kissinger seal of approval.
<p>The Fantastic Four can bring down Hitler, a <a href="http://www.badassoftheweek.com/index.cgi?id=290314930441" type="external">being who eats planets</a>, and <a href="http://marvel.com/universe/Mephisto" type="external">the Prince of Darkness</a>, but can't seem to overthrow this tiny country and oust its metal-faced dictator? It's time to send in the Marines.</p>

<p>On Thursday, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/12/upshot/what-did-trumps-health-care-executive-order-do.html" type="external">President Trump signed an executive order</a> that will begin to deplete the Affordable Care Act, and allow companies to offer cheaper healthcare plans with fewer benefits. Or, as he put it, he is “saving the American people from the nightmare of Obamacare.” Just a few hours later, the Trump administration announced it's ending federal subsidies for health insurance companies that help millions of low-income people pay deductibles and out-of-pocket costs.</p>
<p>These subsidies were projected to cost about <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2017/10/12/trump-obamacare-subsidy-243736" type="external">$9 billion this year,</a> according to the New York Times, and nearly $100 billion in the coming decade.

<p>According to the Times, without the subsidies, "insurance markets could quickly unravel." Insurers have already threatened to pull out of the insurance exchanges created under Obamacare if subsidies are cut off, because they said they will need much higher premiums.</p>
<p>“The government cannot lawfully make the cost-sharing reduction payments,” the White House said in a statement. “Congress needs to repeal and replace the disastrous Obamacare law and provide real relief to the American people.”</p>
<p>In a joint statement, Senate and House Minority Leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi said Trump has “apparently decided to punish the American people for his inability to improve our health care system.” They consider Trump's decision "a spiteful act of vast, pointless sabotage leveled at working families and the middle class in every corner of America."</p>

<p>When I was fourteen or sixteen – pardon me, but I don’t remember precisely, nor did these things make any impression in the international mainstream media – mom and I went to what was probably an illegal demonstration in downtown Porto, Portugal.</p>
<p>No, I am not sure if it was illegal, or even honestly what the demonstration was for. Around that time it might have been for anything, including in support of whoever was the most right-wing candidate available. (Don’t get excited. It was never further to the right than social democrat, and at one time it was the socialist candidate.)</p>
<p>What I remember of that demonstration — one in a string of them — were the shots from above.</p>
<p>If my memory serves me (and understand that after these many years things run together, but be patient, there’s a point to this), the demonstration was in Avenida dos Aliados, which despite the name is a plaza, hemmed in between tallish, nineteenth/early twentieth century stone buildings. I’d guess from memory four or five stories high.</p>
<p>The shots came from either the upper windows or the roof of one of these buildings.</p>
<p>As someone in the crowd, I remember people startled, starting to move, eddies in the packed multitude, and then someone ahead of us going down, bloodied.</p>
<p>At that point, the running started.</p>
<p>I don’t know how I ended up running near a wall (we were pretty much in the center of the space) but I remember the moment a hand shot out, grabbed me, and pressed me flat against the wall. The shots continued through this, btw. The person who grabbed me was my mom, and for the next few minutes, we resisted the crowd going by so close they might pull us with them.</p>
<p>I don’t remember how many people were shot. Maybe four. Far more died in running down an underground passage, trying to get away/to the train station. That last is what my mom saved me from.</p>
<p>This is also why my blood boiled this morning when Hillary Clinton ran her ill-informed, loud mouth about the shooting in Las Vegas.</p>
<a type="internal" />
<p>We’ll leave alone the fact that the “silencer” doesn’t indeed render guns silent. <a href="http://monsterhunternation.com/2017/09/26/an-opinion-on-suppressors-and-the-hearing-protection-act/" type="external">Larry Correia covered that recently in a wonderful post at his blog</a>.</p>
<p>But even if it were possible to silence shots completely, would it be a bad thing, to prevent panic and the subsequent trampling?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton wasn’t the only person speaking while wearing a stylish colon hat. Facebook and probably all the news media — I’m working on a book and at any rate have no intention of subjecting my blood pressure to that kind of hammering — are full of “experts” and “observers” and “commenters” talking about how this wouldn’t have happened if we had only banned private gun ownership.</p>

<p>This is also why my blood boiled this morning when Hillary Clinton ran her ill-informed, loud mouth about the shooting in Las Vegas.</p>
<a type="internal" />
<p>We’ll leave alone the fact that the “silencer” doesn’t indeed render guns silent. <a href="http://monsterhunternation.com/2017/09/26/an-opinion-on-suppressors-and-the-hearing-protection-act/" type="external">Larry Correia covered that recently in a wonderful post at his blog</a>.</p>
<p>But even if it were possible to silence shots completely, would it be a bad thing, to prevent panic and the subsequent trampling?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton wasn’t the only person speaking while wearing a stylish colon hat. Facebook and probably all the news media — I’m working on a book and at any rate have no intention of subjecting my blood pressure to that kind of hammering — are full of “experts” and “observers” and “commenters” talking about how this wouldn’t have happened if we had only banned private gun ownership.</p>"

<p>It used to be pretty easy to tell the difference between advertising and editorial content on Facebook.</p>
<p>If a post had a little "sponsored" label on it, that was a red flag telling you, "Hey, a brand paid for this, you should treat it as an advertisement." But that line has gotten blurrier for Facebook users, especially over the last few months as Facebook has limited how far posts from media companies can spread on their own (so-called "organic reach").</p>
<p>In January, Facebook announced that it would de-emphasize publisher content in favor of " <a href="https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10104413015393571" type="external">friends and family</a>" posts. One of the main complaints I heard from folks on the publisher side was that Mark Zuckerberg didn't actually want less publisher content on Facebook: He wanted publishers to pay him to help their articles spread. "Facebook is now pay to play," was a lament I heard many times.</p>
<p>And that is what many publishers - from The New Yorker, to The Wall Street Journal, to Marie Claire (and Business Insider) - have been doing for certain articles, with more frequency since the algorithm change. They have paid Facebook to help their editorial, journalistic articles spread. The Facebook posts that link to these articles are labeled "sponsored," because they are technically ads, but they link to normal news articles. When you follow the link to the publisher's website, the article isn't a piece of "sponsored content," even though the Facebook post is labeled "sponsored."</p>
<p>Confusing, right?</p>
<p>But that's only the start of the rabbit hole when it comes to the blurring of the lines between advertising and editorial content on Facebook. Traditionally, media companies have worked to separate advertisements from journalistic writing (and to properly label "advertorial" content). But in the world of Facebook, these outlets don't always even have control over how posts appear to readers.</p>
<p>Positive articles about companies like Uber (for instance) are being turned into promotional ads, sometimes without the media organizations being made aware.</p>
<p>It can be hard for readers to wade through, so we decided to break it down for you in a way that is easy to digest. We'll walk you through the various types of "sponsored" posts on Facebook and what they mean.</p> When the outlet pays to spread it
<p>Let's start with the one I just mentioned: Purely editorial articles that are being promoted with "sponsored" posts on Facebook. This basically happens when a publisher wants to boost an article it thinks has viral potential, and can bring the publisher in much more advertising (or subscriber) revenue than it is paying Facebook to push it into your feed, or get new readers.</p>
<p>Here is what that looks like from The New Yorker on an editorial article titled " <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/culture/annals-of-appearances/the-great-sadness-of-ben-affleck" type="external">The Great Sadness of Ben Affleck</a>":</p> Nathan McAlone/Facebook
<p>And here's one from The Wall Street Journal on an editorial article titled " <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/silicon-valley-to-washington-why-dont-you-get-us-1523451203" type="external">Silicon Valley to Washington: Why Don't You Get Us</a>":</p> Nathan McAlone/Facebook
<p>Just scrolling through my Facebook feed casually, I noticed many such articles from outlets ranging from those above to Marie Claire (as mentioned), Ranker, Screen Rant, Elite Daily, U.S. News and World Report, and so on. They really run the gamut editorially.</p>
<p>Okay, so this type of post is easy enough to understand.</p> When the subject pays to spread it
<p>Here is where it starts to get more confusing. Sometimes, the subject of an article pays Facebook to promote an editorial article written about them - presumably one that paints them in a positive light. These are also technically "ads" on Facebook, but the journalism they are promoting was not paid for by the subject. The article itself is not "sponsored content," even though the Facebook post is "sponsored."</p>
<p>Here's an example with Uber and CNET:</p>
<p>CNET wrote this article about Uber's new CEO, titled " <a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/ubers-u-turn-how-ceo-dara-khosrowshahi-is-cleaning-up-after-scandals-and-lawsuits/" type="external">Uber's U-turn: How the new CEO is cleaning house after scandals and lawsuits</a>." To be clear, this was written by a reporter at CNET and was not paid for by Uber. It's just a regular news article. But Uber clearly liked the piece and is now paying Facebook to spread it far and wide.</p>
<p>Here is an example from the video world. This <a href="https://nowthisnews.com/videos/money/you-choose-the-charity-when-you-buy-this-streetwear" type="external">editorial video (not an ad) by NowThis Money</a> is being promoted by the subject of the video, Adam Khafif.</p>
<p>Adam Khafif's Facebook page is sharing a NowThis Money post from its Facebook page, and that share is being "sponsored" (i.e. boosted by paying money to Facebook). See, it gets very convoluted. But the main point is that the underlying video, and in this case even the underlying original Facebook post, isn't an ad - but the subject of the video is paying for a "sponsored" Facebook post to promote it.</p>
<p>Sometimes these "sponsored" posts are even geo-targeted, like the one on this article from The New Yoker titled " <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/05/07/divinity-on-the-dance-floor" type="external">Divinity on the Dance Floor</a>," which is being "promoted" not even by its subject (DJ Robert Hood), but by the nightclub where he performs regularly ( <a href="https://www.schimanskinyc.com/" type="external">Schimanski</a>):</p> When the outlet pays an influencer to spread it
<p>Now let's get to influencers and celebrities. Sometimes publishers pay influencers (people with big Facebook followings) to promote their articles. This used to be done a lot through organic Facebook reach ( <a href="https://theoutline.com/post/2491/when-publishers-get-paid-for-promoting-narratives-george-takei-influencers?zd=1&zi=xsbdje6y" type="external">here's an article on this about George Takei</a>.) But now I've only seen it recently in the form of "sponsored" posts.</p>
<p>Here's an example from Snoop Dogg and FashionBeans:</p>
<p>Snoop Dogg in this instance is technically paying Facebook to promote an article from FashionBeans, <a href="http://www.fashionbeans.com/content/here-are-the-most-obnoxiously-rich-suburbs-of-americas-biggest-cities" type="external">titled "Here Are The Most Obnoxiously Rich Suburbs Of America's Biggest Cities</a>," that really has nothing to do with him. But most likely what is happening is that FashionBeans is paying him to promote it, then he is paying Facebook. So the idea is that while FashionBeans could directly pay Facebook to promote the post, the promotion is more effective (dollar for dollar) if Snoop Dogg's name is attached.</p> When an advertiser pays for the actual article
<p>Now we get to the last category: actual "sponsored content" from a media company. This is an instance of "advertorial," where the advertiser is directly paying the media company to sponsor the actual article itself.</p>
<p>Here's an example from BuzzFeed and NBC Sports:</p>
<p>In these cases, the word "with" is usually employed in the Facebook post to denote which company is paying for the underlying content. It's marked again if you follow the link to BuzzFeed's site:</p>
<p>Notice that the "Brand Publisher" is NBC Sports. So this is actually an ad - not only on Facebook but on BuzzFeed's site as well.</p>
<p>And there you have it, we've come to the end of our guide to understanding who is paying to get journalism or advertising in front of you on Facebook.</p>
<p>One last thing to remember is that no matter who is paying for a "sponsored" Facebook post - outlet, subject, or influencer - if you check the actual article after following the link, it should clearly mark whether the article is an advertisement or a journalistic piece.</p>

He made no secret of his support for abortion. In 2014, his wife, Diana Rauner, went so far as to take out an ad assuring pro-choice Democrats of her husband's stance.
<p>Despite what you've been reading about the far right's consternation with Bruce Rauner over his ostensible support for abortion in Illinois, I think it's been a pretty good month for the governor.</p>
<p>The union-busting Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees case that he initiated has made it to the Supreme Court. And he's got liberal groups like Planned Parenthood praising him for his stance on reproductive rights. It looks like he may be able to put together the band of rabid right-wingers and abortion-rights moderates who helped elect him in the first place.</p>
<p>I know that sounds like the oddest of coalitions—but it just goes to show you what a clever politician can buy with his billions.</p>
<p>The Republican right-to-lifers are furious that Rauner flip-flopped and signed HB 40, the reproductive rights bill that expanded Medicaid funding for some abortions and eliminated the controversial "trigger provision" from state law. (The trigger language would've made abortions illegal in Illinois should Roe v. Wade be overturned.)</p>
<p>And many, including Steve Bannon, are talking about recruiting someone to mount a primary challenge against Rauner. But I think it's mostly bluster. In fact, I can't understand why they're so outraged. They knew what they were getting when they overwhelmingly voted for Rauner back in 2014.</p>
<p>Rauner made no secret of his support for abortion. In 2014, his wife, Diana Rauner, went so far as to take out an ad assuring pro-choice Democrats that when it came to abortion rights her husband would be no different than his opponent, former governor Pat Quinn.</p>
<p>Backed by many pro-choice moderates in DuPage County, the North Shore, and the Gold Coast, Rauner edged out Quinn and promptly went to work bankrupting public education by vetoing the budget.</p>
<p>Earlier this year, the governor panicked when it looked as though he might be losing support among downstate Republicans. So he assured right-to-life legislators he would veto HB40. That enraged pro-choice voters, who claimed he was betraying his lifelong commitment to their cause.</p>
<p>Rauner found himself in a jam. He had to decide which group he could least afford to alienate on the eve of next year's election: Gold Coast and North Shore moderates or rabid Republicans. Obviously, he went with the former, at least partly because, if push came to shove, they might actually vote for a Democrat. As for the rabid right, he probably figured he'd give 'em a tax break and they'd follow him off a cliff.</p>
<p>Of course, Rauner was slick about it. Over the summer he made a real show of inviting various pro-choice women to his office to explain to him how important it was to pass HB40.</p>
<p>And then on September 28, he signed it, making a big deal about it, like he was King Solomon making a wrenching decision as opposed to a lifelong abortion supporter doing what he'd promised to do four years ago.</p>
<p>In any case, it seems to have worked. Key players in the pro-choice movement fell for it. When Rauner signed HB40, Planned Parenthood of Illinois sent an e-mail calling on members to "thank Governor Rauner." Puh-lease! A more accurate response would've been "Thanks for nothing, Bruce!"</p>
<p>Even if the strategy fails and he doesn't win reelection, Rauner's in a perfect position to achieve his great dream of damaging, if not destroying, public unions in Illinois thanks to the Janus case.</p>
<p>Mark Janus is a state employee who argues that his First Amendment rights are being violated because state law requires him to contribute a "fair share" portion of his paycheck to the union that represents him—in this case, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. In particular, he doesn't think he should have to donate money to a union with which he disagrees politically.</p>
<p>It's called a fair-share contribution because the money guarantees that workers share the cost of financing a union that represents them in bargaining and grievance hearings.</p>
<p>On February 9, 2015, a few weeks after he took office, Rauner issued an executive order halting automatic fair-share deductions from paychecks. Several unions and attorney general Lisa Madigan sued and Rauner's executive order was overturned.</p>
<p>Rauner also filed a suit in federal court seeking to stop automatic fair-share contributions on First Amendment grounds. In 2016, a federal judge ruled against Rauner, decreeing that the governor didn't have standing in the case.</p>
<p>By then Janus had joined the case—as a state employee, he clearly has standing. Janus is being represented by the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, a union-busting outfit that's financially supported by the Koch brothers, the Walton Family Foundation, and other stalwarts of the far right.</p>
<p>On September 28, the Supreme Court agreed to hear Janus's case.</p>
<p>The suit is similar to one filed by Rebecca Friedrichs, a teacher in California, who lost when the Supreme Court was deadlocked 4-4. Since then President Trump and the Senate have put conservative Neil Gorsuch on the court. So unless another judge flips—c'mon Justice Kennedy, you can do it!—it looks like SCOTUS will issue a bruising blow against unions, which will have to scramble to keep up their funding.</p>
<p>This is a cruel irony on many levels. For one thing, government employees such as Janus will be relatively defenseless without unions if they're fired or harassed by a powerful politician like Rauner. Good luck getting the National Right to Work Foundation to help them with that.</p>
<p>As for Rauner's friends at Planned Parenthood—well, with a drop in membership, unions will be less able to help elect Democrats. So really the assault on unions is an attempt to cripple the Democratic Party. You don't think the Koch brothers actually give a hoot about workers like Mark Janus, do you?</p>
<p>If Democrats can't beat Republicans, they can't enact liberal-minded measures, like—oh, just to pick one—reproductive rights.</p>
<p>Think about this, Planned Parenthood. Your good friend, Bruce, is throwing you under the bus once again. Only this time he's got a more roundabout way of doing it. v</p>

<p>This is a cruel irony on many levels. For one thing, government employees such as Janus will be relatively defenseless without unions if they're fired or harassed by a powerful politician like Rauner. Good luck getting the National Right to Work Foundation to help them with that.</p>
<p>As for Rauner's friends at Planned Parenthood—well, with a drop in membership, unions will be less able to help elect Democrats. So really the assault on unions is an attempt to cripple the Democratic Party. You don't think the Koch brothers actually give a hoot about workers like Mark Janus, do you?</p>
<p>If Democrats can't beat Republicans, they can't enact liberal-minded measures, like—oh, just to pick one—reproductive rights.</p>
<p>Think about this, Planned Parenthood. Your good friend, Bruce, is throwing you under the bus once again. Only this time he's got a more roundabout way of doing it. v</p>"

<p>What is a dotard?</p>
<p>In one of the strangest war of words we’ve seen here at PolitiFact, President Donald Trump and North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un traded insults recently, culminating in the use of the insult "dotard."</p>
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/MerriamWebster/status/911003233828659201" type="external">Merriam-Webster</a> noted that searches for the word spiked.</p>
<p>Older PolitiFact staffers informed our younger counterparts that a dotard is someone who has entered his or her dotage, and that dotage is "a state or period of senile decay marked by decline of mental poise and alertness," according to Merriam-Webster.</p>
<p>Kim Jong Un hurled the word at Trump in response to Trump’s recent speech at the United Nations, saying that Trump’s speech was "unprecedented rude nonsense one has never heard from any of his predecessors. A frightened dog barks louder. I’d like to advise Trump to exercise prudence in selecting words and to be considerate of whom he speaks to when making a speech in front of the world."</p>
<p>Later in <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/22/world/asia/kim-jong-un-trump.html" type="external">the statement</a>, Kim said, "Whatever Trump might have expected, he will face results beyond his expectation. I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged U.S. dotard with fire."</p>
<p>Trump responded <a href="https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/911175246853664768" type="external">on Twitter</a>: "Kim Jong Un of North Korea, who is obviously a madman who doesn't mind starving or killing his people, will be tested like never before!"</p>

<p>Where this war of words will lead is anyone’s guess. PolitiFact recently reviewed the <a type="internal">issues surrounding North Korea</a> as a preview to Trump’s speech at the United Nations, and we <a type="internal">fact-checked Trump’s speech</a> as well.</p>

<p>North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said Saturday the second flight test of an intercontinental ballistic missile demonstrated his country can hit the U.S.</p>
<p>According to analysts, North Korea's missiles would be capable of reaching Los Angeles, New York or Chicago.</p>
<p>The Korean Central News Agency said Kim expressed "great satisfaction" with the test.</p>
<p>The Pentagon confirmed Friday morning that North Korea launched another ballistic missile.</p>
<p>"We are assessing and will have more information soon," said Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman.</p>
<p>Japanese government spokesperson Yoshihide Suga said the missile flew for roughly 45 minutes and landed off the Japanese coast in waters near Japan and the Korean Peninsula. Japanese public broadcaster NHK said the coast guard has issued safety warnings to aircraft and ships.</p>
<p>The launch occurred one day after Congress approved a legislative package that includes economic sanctions against North Korea.</p>
<p>Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the projectile may have landed in the sea. He also confined that he has confirmed a meeting of the National Security Council.</p>
<q>
“I have received information that North Korea once again conducted a missile firing. We will immediately analyze information and do our utmost to protect the safety of the Japanese people.” </q>

<p>President Donald Trump on Saturday helped commission the USS Gerald R. Ford. He declared that the $12.9 billion advanced aircraft carrier to join the Navy will cause America's enemies to "shake with fear."</p>
<p>"I hereby place United States Ship Gerald R. Ford in commission," Trump said after delivering a speech in which he praised the U.S. military and the American labor that went into building the 100,000 ton warship.</p>
<q>
"May God bless and guide this warship and all who shall sail in her." </q>
<p>Susan Ford Bales, the ship's sponsor and daughter of the 38th president, whom the ship honors alos spoke.</p>
<p>"There is no one, absolutely no one, who would be prouder of the commissioning of this mighty ship than the president of the United States, Gerald R. Ford," she said. "I am honored to give the command: 'Officers and crew of the United States Gerald R. Ford, man our ship and bring her to life.'"</p>
<p>Construction on the USS Ford started in 2009 and was to be completed by September 2015 at a cost of $10.5 billion. The Navy has attributed the delays and budget overruns to the ship's state-of-the-art systems and technology, including electromagnetic launch systems for jets and drones that will replace steam catapults.</p>
<p>The return visit Saturday fell during what the White House has dubbed "Made in America" week.</p>

<p>President Trump took a shot at Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Monday, describing him as "beleaguered" in a tweet about the Russia investigation.</p>
<p>"After 1 year of investigation with Zero evidence being found, Chuck Schumer just stated that "Democrats should blame ourselves,not Russia," Trump tweeted.</p>
<p>"So why aren't the Committees and investigators, and of course our beleaguered A.G., looking into Crooked Hillarys crimes &amp; Russia relations?" read his follow-up tweet.</p>
<p>Trump disclosed in a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/19/us/politics/trump-interview-sessions-russia.html?_r=0" type="external">New York Times interview</a> on Wednesday that he would not have hired Sessions if he had known that Sessions would recuse himself from the Russia probe.</p>
<p>"Should have never recused himself and if he was going to recuse himself he should have told me before he took the job and I would have picked somebody else," Trump said.</p>
<p>The president's comments prompted speculation that Sessions would resign from his post.</p>
<p>However, a day after the interview was published, Sessions said he plans on continuing in the role.</p>
<p>"I’m totally confident that we can continue to run this office in an effective way," Sessions said.</p>

<p>Ninety-two percent of Muslims in the U.S. are proud to be American, even though 75 percent say there is "a lot" of discrimination against Muslims in the U.S.</p>
<p>Nine-in-ten Muslims reported having a positive feeling about living in the U.S., even though 75 percent believe it has become harder to be Muslim in the U.S. in recent years.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.pewforum.org/2017/07/26/findings-from-pew-research-centers-2017-survey-of-us-muslims/" type="external">survey</a> found that Muslims feel that the main problems they face in the U.S. are negative media coverage about the religion (60 percent), misconceptions about Islam (9 percent) and President Trump’s attitudes and/or policies towards Muslims (9 percent).</p>
<p>The survey was conducted Jan. 23 to May 2, and 1,001 U.S. Muslim adults participated. Nearly 48 percent have experienced some type of discrimination.</p>
<p>Researchers at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) <a href="https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016/09/13/experts-seeing-spike-possible-anti-muslim-hate-crimes" type="external">found</a> that the number of hate groups specifically targeting Muslims in the U.S. has nearly tripled in the past year. SPLC reported that there were 34 hate groups in 2015 and the figure has risen to 101. The SPLC attributed the increase in hate groups in part to Trump's campaign rhetoric.</p>
<p>"The growth has been accompanied by a rash of crimes targeting Muslims, including an arson that destroyed a mosque in Victoria, Texas, just hours after the Trump administration announced an executive order suspending travel from some predominantly Muslim countries," SPLC said in a <a href="https://www.splcenter.org/news/2017/02/15/hate-groups-increase-second-consecutive-year-trump-electrifies-radical-right" type="external">statement.</a></p>

<p>Attorney General Jeff Sessions warned Tuesday that sanctuary cities in the U.S. will lose millions in grant money if they do not comply with federal agents' efforts to deport undocumented immigrants.</p>
<p>Sessions issued a statement announcing new requirements for local governments that wish to receive money from a federal grant program called the "Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Programs."</p>
<p>The rules require local governments to alert the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at least 48 hours before releasing inmates from local jails who are wanted by DHS agents. It also requires local governments to allow DHS agents to enter local jails and interview inmates suspected of being undocumented immigrants.</p>
<p>"So-called sanctuary policies make all of us less safe because they intentionally undermine our laws and protect illegal aliens who have committed crimes," Sessions said in his <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-sessions-announces-immigration-compliance-requirements-edward-byrne-memorial" type="external">statement.</a> "These policies also encourage illegal immigration and even human trafficking by perpetuating the lie that in certain cities, illegal aliens can live outside the law."</p>
<p>"We must encourage these 'sanctuary' jurisdictions to change their policies and partner with federal law enforcement to remove criminals," Sessions added.</p>
<p>Sessions has been a fierce advocate for cracking down on illegal immigration.</p>
<p>"These long overdue requirements will help us take down MS-13 and other violent transnational gangs, and make our country safer," he said.</p>
<p>The new requirements will apply to cities seeking grants starting in September.</p>

<p>President Trump responded to the Senate Republican's inability to pass a skinny version of Obamacare's repeal the only way he knows how: Twitter.</p>
<p>Senate Republicans weren't able to muster enough votes to pass their skinny repeal of Obamacare.</p>
<p>Senators voted 49-51 shortly before 2:00 a.m. Friday morning. Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) cast a surprise "no" vote. He was joined by GOP Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Susan Collins (Maine).</p>
<p>The bill, titled the Health Care Freedom Act, would have repealed the individual insurance mandate. It would also have repealed the employer mandate for eight years.</p>
<p>GOP leaders and Vice President Mike Pence huddled with McCain, Murkowski and Collins before the vote, which was stalled for nearly an hour.</p>
<p>A few minutes before the vote, McCain crossed the chamber to huddle with Democrats.</p>
<p>McCain's "no" vote came as a shock to many.</p>
<p>Democrats applauded the move on Twitter.</p>
<p>The vote is a devastating blow for Republicans who have fought for months to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act and will likely have to start the process all over again.</p>
<p>"This is clearly a disappointing moment," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said shortly after the final vote tally was called.</p>
<p>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer admitted that the current health care law is not perfect and called for Republicans and Democrats to work together to fix the problems with Obamacare.</p>

<p>A photo of empty bus seats caused a heated debate on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sindre.beyer/posts/10154636640635248?pnref=story" type="external">Facebook</a> because people thought they saw six women in burqas.</p>
<p>The image was shared to a Norwegian anti-immigration group with the question: “What do people think about this?”</p>
<p>Members sounded off, saying things like:</p>
<p>“It looks really scary, should be banned. You can never know who is under there. Could be terrorists with weapons.”</p>
<p>“Get them out of our country, those who look like collapsed umbrellas. Frightening times we are living in.”</p>
<p>“I thought it would be like this in the year 2050, but it is happening NOW!!!!”</p>
<p>The user who posted the photo wanted to show people the dangers of jumping to conclusions and spreading fake news.</p>
<p>Norway's right-wing government recently <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-religion-burqa-norway-idUSKBN1930WY" type="external">proposed a law</a> that would ban Muslim women from wearing full face veils in schools.</p>

"<p>A photo of empty bus seats caused a heated debate on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sindre.beyer/posts/10154636640635248?pnref=story" type="external">Facebook</a> because people thought they saw six women in burqas.</p>
<p>The image was shared to a Norwegian anti-immigration group with the question: “What do people think about this?”</p>
<p>Members sounded off, saying things like:</p>
<p>“It looks really scary, should be banned. You can never know who is under there. Could be terrorists with weapons.”</p>
<p>“Get them out of our country, those who look like collapsed umbrellas. Frightening times we are living in.”</p>
<p>“I thought it would be like this in the year 2050, but it is happening NOW!!!!”</p>
<p>The user who posted the photo wanted to show people the dangers of jumping to conclusions and spreading fake news.</p>
<p>Norway's right-wing government recently <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-religion-burqa-norway-idUSKBN1930WY" type="external">proposed a law</a> that would ban Muslim women from wearing full face veils in schools.</p>"

<p>Police in Dubai reopened streets near one of the world's tallest residential skyscrapers after firefighters successfully extinguished a Friday blaze, forcing residents to evacuate in the middle of night.</p>
<p>No injuries have been reported, but a few people were treated for smoke inhalation.</p>
<p>This isn't the first time the 86-story building caught fire, having done so just 2.5 years earlier.</p>
<p>The cause of Friday's fire wasn't immediately known, but, in the past, infernos in Dubai have been linked with highly flammable building cladding.</p>
<q>
"You never think it's going to happen to you. I had cash in there, furniture, paintings. ... Many things that are very valuable to me." </q>

<p>A skyscraper in the United Arab Emirates <a href="http://http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-dubai-torch-tower-fire-20170803-story.html" type="external">burst into flames</a> Thursday when the Torch Tower in the Dubai Marina began blazing in the night sky.</p>
<p>Flames began racing up the 86-story building, which is a popular residence for expats living in the UAE’s largest city.</p>
<p>Footage of the conflagration circulating on social media shows firefighters frantically trying to stop it from spreading.</p>
<p>The Dubai Media Office confirmed the UAE’s Civil Defence is fighting the inferno raging at the tower.</p>
<p>“Firefighting squads from four Civil Defence stations have been deployed to bring the fire under control,” a spokesman said.</p>
<p>Some Twitter users on Thursday voiced shock at the fire burning at the Torch, which is the world’s fifth largest residential building at 1,105 ft. tall.</p>
<p>Other people on the social media platform noted that hundreds of people evacuated the same building during a February 2015 fire.</p>
<p>People across multiple social media outlets ranging from Facebook to Instagram, meanwhile, shared video footage of the rare event.</p>
<p>Civil Defence officials told the Sun that they had “successfully evacuated” the Torch while fire fighters tried stopping the blaze.</p>
<p>The Sun reported that the 2015 fire at the same building was quickly brought under control, resulting in no fatalities and seven people receiving treatment for smoke inhalation.</p>
<p>A Dubai Police spokesperson told the Gulf News that the fire broke out on the tower’s ninth floor before spreading four floors higher.</p>
<p>The BBC reported that the Torch boasts 676 apartments, with a two-bedroom flat starting at more than $500,000.</p>
<p>Residents at the property also have access to an eight-story garage, according to the BBC, and a swimming pool which overlooks Dubai’s waterfront.</p>
<p>The Torch is expected to be the 32nd tallest building in the world, according to the Skyscraper Centre.</p>

<p>The newly-installed constitutional assembly led by President Nicolas Maduro has ousted Venezuela's chief prosecutor on Saturday, a move that signals that the embattled government is making swift moves to consolidate power.</p>
<p>Hails of "traitor" and "justice has arrived" erupted from the 545 pro-government delegates during the unanimous vote to remove the top law enforcement official, Luisa Ortega, from her post. The assembly replaced her with a staunch government supporter.</p>
<p>The delegates said they were acting in response to a ruling by the government-attacked Supreme Court, which was separately considering a request to sanction Ortega.</p>
<p>Speaking to journalists after her removal, Ortega said dozens of national guardsmen in riot gear barred her from entering her office, alleging that authorities wanted to get their hands on sensitive information implicating high-level officials in dirty dealings.</p>
<p>"Do you know what they want to achieve with this? They want to hide the corruption and violation of human rights taking place in Venezuela that I will continue to denounce," Ortega said.</p>
<p>The Associated Press contributed to this report.</p>
<p>Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro plans to seat a new controversial constituent assembly in an effort to rewrite the country's constitution despite continued opposition protests.</p>
<p>The new legislative body's constitution would nullify the other branches of government, leading opposition leaders to call on citizens to protest in the streets in objection. Maduro is expected to seat the 545-member body at the legislative palace in the capital of Caracas on Friday, just yards from the opposition-led National Assembly. He plans to attend the assembly's opening session and promised to use the assembly itself to attack his political opponents.</p>
<p>"The only way they'll get us out of here is by killing us," National Assembly first vice president Freddy Guevara told the Associated Press. "They will never have a seat that the people of Venezuela gave us."</p>
<p>Maduro's assembly was elected on Sunday, despite opposition claims that the election itself was rigged in favor of Maduro supporters, resulting in a boycott. The U.S. State Department condemned the assembly on Thursday, claiming the rigged election only served to empower "the Maduro dictatorship." Several U.S. lawmakers joined in the condemnation, including Sen. Marco Rubio who issued a message of support to the Venezuelan people in Spanish.</p>
<p>"At a time of deep divisions in our own politics, both the left and the right here in the United States support the people of Venezuela and condemn the Maduro government," said Rubio. "Even those who sympathized and defended the late Hugo Chavez, condemn the direction Nicolas Maduro has taken your country."</p>
<p>The senator added that Venezuelans are "only a free and fair election away from a better future."</p>
<p>Sen. Bob Menendez, senior member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, claimed a "sham election" was used to elect the pro-Maduro assembly.</p>
<p>"Nicolas Maduro's decision to move forward with a sham election to create a constituent assembly and shred his country's constitution offers yet another disturbing example of how dangerously unfit this man is to lead country," said Menendez in a <a href="http://https://www.menendez.senate.gov/news-and-events/press/menendez-on-maduro-regimes-sham-election" type="external">statement</a> released on Monday.</p>
<p>Venezuela's legislative palace has been the scene of violent protests in recent weeks. Three months of bloody protests and a beleaguered economy have taken a serious toll on Venezuelans. Conditions are expected to worsen should Maduro and his supporters be successful in rewriting the constitution.</p>

<p>Web hosting company GoDaddy on Monday tweeted that it has given the Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi website, 24 hours to find another internet service provider.</p>
<p>A GoDaddy spokesman told the New York Daily News that the Daily Stormer violated its terms of service by posting a blog deriding a woman killed in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday.</p>
<p>Heather Heyer, 32, died when a man drove his car into a crowd of people protesting a white nationalist rally there Saturday.</p>
<p>Daily Stormer founder Andrew Anglin on Sunday posted an article characterizing Heyer as “fat” and “childless.”</p>
<p>“Given this latest article comes on the immediate heels of a violent attack, we believe this type of article could incite additional violence, which violates our terms of service,” GoDaddy spokesman Dan Race said in an email to the Daily News.</p>
<p>Some Twitter users on Monday praised GoDaddy for taking a stand against the Daily Stormer following Anglin’s controversial blog.</p>
<p>Other people on the social media platform criticized GoDaddy for hosting the Daily Stormer for as long as it did before Monday’s announcement.</p>
<p>GoDaddy’s decision will reportedly force the Daily Stormer’s operators to transfer dailystormer.com to another internet provider.</p>
<p>The hacking collective Anonymous also took credit Monday for targeting the Daily Stormer following Anglin’s blog.</p>
<p>“This site is now under the control of Anonymous,” a post on the Daily Stormer’s front page said.</p>
<p>“For too long the Daily Stormer and Andrew Anglin have spewed their putrid hate on this site,” it added. “That will not be happening anymore.”</p>
<p>The post did not mention GoDaddy’s message to the Daily Stormer, and the article about Heyer was not taken down.</p>
<p>The so-called “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville last Saturday turned violent when white nationalists and anti-fascist demonstrators broke into violence.</p>
<p>James Alex Fields Jr., 20, ultimately drove a car into counter-protesters there, killing Heyer and injuring more than a dozen others.</p>
<p>Two Virginia State Police officers additionally died Saturday following a helicopter crash authorities linked to the Charlottesville rally.</p>

<p>Authorities in North Carolina arrested a woman they say is responsible for tearing down a bronze statue of a Confederate soldier.</p>
<p>During a news conference, Takiyah Thompson identified herself as the woman who climbed the statue Monday night in Durham. Thompson defended her actions, arguing that Confederate statues represent white supremacy.</p>
<p>Sheriff's deputies took Thompson away in handcuffs after the news conference ended, but it is still unclear what charges she may face. Previously, authorities said those responsible for tearing down the statue would face felony charges.</p>
<p>North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper tweeted Tuesday saying Confederate monuments, like the one toppled Monday night, "should come down." In a blog post <a href="https://medium.com/@NC_Governor/north-carolina-monuments-b7ead3c471ee" type="external">on the website Medium</a>, Cooper said he hopes the state legislature will repeal a law that prevents state and local governments from removing these statues permanently and limiting their relocation.</p>
<p>"Some people cling to the belief that the Civil War was fought over states’ rights. But history is not on their side," he wrote. "We cannot continue to glorify a war against the United States of America fought in the defense of slavery. These monuments should come down."</p>
<p>Durham County (N.C.) Sheriff Mike Andrews said Tuesday that investigators are working to identify and charge those who toppled a Confederate statue outside a courthouse Monday.</p>
<p>Andrews said in a statement that officers took video throughout the protest and are using the footage in the investigation.</p>
<p>Officers did not intervene as the statue was toppled. Andrews said he was aware of the potential for vandalism after meeting with county leaders and protest organizers but chose to exercise restraint.</p>
<p>County officials did not immediately respond to inquiries as to whether the statue would be put back up.</p>

<p>Three House Democrats on Wednesday introduced a resolution to censure and condemn President Trump over his response to recent violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.</p>
<p><a href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DHXblhXUMAAyHGq.jpg" type="external">The measure</a> was introduced by Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ), Jerry Nadler (NY) and Pramila Jayapal (WA).</p>
<p>The trio’s resolution calls for Trump’s censure over his “inadequate response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.”</p>
<p>The proposal also cites Trump for “his failure to immediately and specifically name and condemn the groups responsible for actions of domestic terrorism” in Charlottesville.</p>
<p>The group’s resolution additionally demands that Trump “fire any and all advisors who have urged him to cater to the alt-Right movement in the United State.”</p>
<p>The document criticizes Trump “for employing people with ties to white supremacist movements in the White House.”</p>
<p>White House officials with ties to white supremacy include chief strategist Steve Bannon and national security aide Sebastian Gorka, according to the resolution.</p>
<p>Bannon previously served as the executive chairman of Breitbart, which he characterized as “the platform for the alt-right” last year.</p>
<p>Gorka formerly worked as a national security editor at Breitbart, an outlet which has faced accusations of anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and misogyny.</p>
<p>Trump insisted Tuesday that there is “blame on both sides” for bloodshed in Charlottesville last weekend.</p>
<p>“What about the alt-left that came charging at the – as you say, the alt-right?” he asked a reporter. “Do they have any semblance of guilt?”</p>
<p>“What about the fact they came charging with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs?” Trump continued at Trump Tower in New York City. “Do they have any problem? I think they do.”</p>
<p>“I have condemned neo-Nazis. I have condemned many different groups, but not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me.”</p>
<p>White nationalists descended upon Charlottesville last weekend to protest the removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.</p>
<p>One person died last Saturday when a car drove into people protesting the white nationalists in the city.</p>
<p>Two other Virginia State Police Department officers were killed the same day in a helicopter crash authorities linked to the unrest.</p>

<p>Gorka formerly worked as a national security editor at Breitbart, an outlet which has faced accusations of anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and misogyny.</p>
<p>Trump insisted Tuesday that there is “blame on both sides” for bloodshed in Charlottesville last weekend.</p>
<p>“What about the alt-left that came charging at the – as you say, the alt-right?” he asked a reporter. “Do they have any semblance of guilt?”</p>
<p>“What about the fact they came charging with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs?” Trump continued at Trump Tower in New York City. “Do they have any problem? I think they do.”</p>
<p>“I have condemned neo-Nazis. I have condemned many different groups, but not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me.”</p>
<p>White nationalists descended upon Charlottesville last weekend to protest the removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.</p>
<p>One person died last Saturday when a car drove into people protesting the white nationalists in the city.</p>
<p>Two other Virginia State Police Department officers were killed the same day in a helicopter crash authorities linked to the unrest.</p>"

<p>DHS spokeswoman Anna Franko, said that the acting Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke has been briefed on the situation in Barcelona, Spain and remains in contact with U.S. allies in Europe in lieu of the ongoing investigation.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and those affected. We will not let terrorism become the new normal.

<p>An unattended package near the north fence of the White House was cleared by the Secret Service and Metropolitan Police Tuesday afternoon.</p>
<p>The White House was placed on an apparent lockdown Tuesday while President Trump was en route to Arizona for a rally in Phoenix, according to multiple reports.</p>
<p><a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/347500-white-house-placed-on-apparent-lockdown" type="external">The Hill</a> reported that Secret Service cleared the White House’s North Lawn and sent media members and construction workers in the area into the West Wing.</p>
<p>The Secret Service confirmed via Twitter that it and the Washington, D.C. Police Department were responding to an unattended package near the north fence of the White House complex.</p>
<p>Trump is reportedly heading to a campaign-style rally in Phoenix late Tuesday, an event which is also expected to draw major protests.</p>
<p>The president will also reportedly visit a Border Patrol facility in Yuma, Arizona before Tuesday’s rally.</p>
<p>Trump will examine Border Patrol equipment such as a Predator drone and an agency boat during his stop in Yuma.</p>
<p>Immigration is a major issue for Trump’s supporters, and the president campaigned extensively on the topic during last year’s White House race.</p>
<p>Trump has long vowed to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, arguing it will reduce illegal immigration and increase America’s border security.</p>

<p>Harvey grew into a hurricane on Thursday and authorities have reinforced their warnings as wind speeds have risen to 125 mph. Harvey could potentially be the fiercest hurricane to hit the United States in years.</p>
<p>Such strong gusts are expected to be accompanied by 3 feet of rain and 12-foot storm surges.</p>
<p>Forecasters have called Harvey a "life-threatening storm" and say that million of people could be swamped as the storm moves through counties inland.</p>
<p>(The Associated Press contributed to this report)</p>
<p>The National Hurricane Center has issued an advisory on Thursday, instructing Texas residents along the Gulf of Mexico coast to "rush" their preparations as hurricane Harvey strengthens.</p>
<p>The hurricane is forecast to become a Category 3 hurricane with sustained winds of 80 mph, according to National Hurricane Center.</p>
<p>The center <a href="http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/#Harvey" type="external">reported</a>Thursday afternoon that the tropical storm will make landfall late Friday night or early Saturday morning along the south-central Texas coast.</p>
<p>"Harvey has intensified quickly this morning, and is now forecast to be a major hurricane at landfall, bringing life-threatening storm surge, rainfall, and wind hazards to portions of the Texas coast," the center wrote.</p>
<p>People residing like coastal cities like Corpus Christi were encouraged to evacuate from their homes on Thursday. The mayor Joe McComb, called for people to leave in the "strongest possible terms."</p>
<p>Some are surprised how much the hurricane has strengthened.</p>
<p>A hurricane warning was issued for the Texas coast early Thursday, blanketing an area from Port Mansfield to Matagorda.</p>
<p>Forecasters indicated that Harvey could become a hurricane after regaining tropical storm strength and began drifting towards the Gulf of Mexico. Harvey’s maximum sustained winds increased to near 60 mph Thursday, re-establishing its status as a tropical storm.</p>
<p>The U.S. National Hurricane Center said additional strengthening is expected, resulting in Harvey emerging as a hurricane by the time its expected to reach Texas’s southern coast Friday.</p>
<p>Some Twitter users on Thursday voiced alarm over Harvey, while others noted its name’s resemblance to comedian Steve Harvey.</p>
<p>Harvey was centered about 335 miles southeast of Port Mansfield around 8 a.m. local time Thursday and heading north-northwest at about 10 mph.</p>
<p>Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) ordered the State Operations Center to elevate its readiness level, freeing up resources there for possible rescue and recovery maneuvers. The governor also pre-emptively declared a state of disaster for 30 counties on or near the Texas coast to speed the deployment of state resources to those impacted.</p>
<p>Texas emergency officials on Wednesday asked residents along the state’s upper coastline to relocate or prepare to head inland. People in low-lying areas were urged to seek higher ground, and individuals elsewhere were instructed to closely follow official announcements.</p>
<p>Rice farmers in coastal Matagorda County late Wednesday rushed to harvest their crops as Harvey nears. People on South Padre Island, for their part, filled sandbags that evening to protect exposed businesses and houses from the storm. Other locations in the forecast path, finally, sought out generators, plywood and other goods from hardware stores as a safety precaution.</p>

<p>Some time back it was reported that an alert Maryland police officer saw an Islamic woman in an SUV videotaping a bridge’s support structures. He arrested the driver, Ismail Elbarasse—a Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood operative. An FBI raid on Elbarasse’s home unearthed a trove of Islamic doctrinal books and key Muslim Brotherhood documents—which became evidence in the largest terrorism-financing trial in U.S. history.</p>
<p>Islam’s books are “the real bomb,” Muslim reformer Islam al-Behery said. Its ideology is “its blueprint” for world domination. A document from the Elbarasse raid outlines the Muslim Brotherhood’s phased plan to destroy Western civilization from within:</p>
<p>Phase One: Secret establishment of leadership. Phase Two: Gradual public profile by infiltrating government, the judiciary, finance, intelligence, police, prisons, military, education and religious institutions. Phase Three: Escalation prior to conflict and confrontation with rulers using mass media. Phase Four: Publically confront the government using political pressure. Weapons training domestically and overseas in anticipation of zero-hour. Phase Five: Seize power to establish the Islamic state.</p>
<a type="internal" />
<p>Other documents outline the plan to replace the U.S. Constitution with sharia (Islamic law). Sharia is based on the Quran and other Islamic writings. Moderates see it a spiritual struggle, or outwardly observe it for fear of reprisal. But for radicals, sharia is the legal and political foundation for jihad and global rule, a power play to force Islam on the world. The D.C. based Center for Security Policy calls it a “totalitarian ideology” controlling all legal, political, military, economic and social life. No other laws or governments may coexist with sharia. It’s primarily political, not religious; though in America it masks itself as a religion to manipulate the First Amendment as a front for seditious activity.</p>
<p>The Quran requires all Muslims to wage jihad (holy war) against infidels (non-Muslims). Jihad calls for multiple stages and platforms—violent and pre-violent. An Elbarasse memorandum calls the pre-violent “settlement process” in North America “civilization jihad” to destroy the Western way of life. In jihad’s final, violent stage, non-Muslims convert or die. Though jihad is obvious in North America and Europe, it’s not limited to the West.</p>
<p>The phased plan is a template for radical Muslim subjugation. Indonesia, a secular, mostly moderate Muslim-majority democracy, is a case in point. Its motto, “Unity in Diversity” reflects its six religions and 300 ethnicities. Though religious parties’ gains in national elections have been paltry, locally elected Islamists passed more than 400 sharia ordinances, according to economist.com. Christian incumbent Basuki Tjahaja “Ahok” Purnama lost a recent governor’s race when radical Islamists told Muslim voters that Islam forbids voting for Christians. A video of Ahok’s rebuttal was edited to appear he was insulting the Quran. Charged with blasphemy, he lost the election and was sentenced to jail.</p> $107 Billion Treasure Found From WW2! You Won't Believe Where It Was Stashed
<p>Ahok’s conviction—accompanied by violent rallies and death threats, shows the chilling influence on pluralism by “hardline Islamism that the government and judiciary are reluctant to oppose,” said Time reporter Nicola Smith. In Indonesia, radical Islamists have advanced their plan for global dominance to Phase Four.</p>
<p>Then there’s Iran, whose visceral anti-Semitism and poisonous ideology infuses jihad and sharia, but with a twist. The late Ayatollah Khomeini, and his successor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, sidestepped Shi’a believe that the Mahdi (12th Imam), a quasi-messianic figure, must return before waging jihad and adopted an ideology promoting a senior Shiite cleric to theocratic political power over Shiites worldwide. Khomeini offered himself as successor to the 12 Imams, thus “inheriting the mantle of leadership directly from Muhammad,” said expert Clare Lopez.</p>
<p>Khomeini inserted his doctrine into the 1989 constitution, in which the regime’s objective is global conquest under sharia rule and nuclear dominance is a surefire path to achieve that goal.</p>
<p>Iran and its proxies not only menace Israel’s existence and portend regional upheaval, the “bomb” of Islamist ideology threatens the lives and freedoms of every sovereign nation in the world.</p>

<p>In Washington, the ostensible story is rarely the real story. We know, for example, that former President Clinton engineered a meeting with President Obama’s attorney general, Loretta Lynch, on the tarmac of the Phoenix Airport on June 27, 2016.</p>
<p>That’s the official story, replete with the charming and intentionally disarming detail that all they talked about was their grandchildren. It was just coincidental, don’t you know, that at the time the FBI was looking into Hillary Clinton’s use of a “personal” email server to send, receive and store classified information.</p>
<p>And it was also simply coincidental that just a few days later, the director of the FBI – who served under Attorney General Lynch – announced that he wouldn’t recommend a prosecution of Hillary Clinton.</p>
<p>Richard Nixon must be rolling over in his grave.</p>
<q> <p>What we haven’t known, until now, is that a frantic scramble erupted in the halls of the FBI to cover up this meeting.</p> </q>
<p>What we haven’t known, until now, is that a frantic scramble erupted in the halls of the FBI to cover up this meeting. In fact, the FBI turned its sharp light not on the scandalous meeting between the attorney general and Bill Clinton – but rather on one of the whistleblowers who got the word out.</p>
<p>The organization I head, Judicial Watch, asked the FBI on July 7, 2016, for any records that might pertain to the infamous tarmac meeting. We had to sue after we were ignored by the agency.</p>
<p>Then the FBI told us flat-out that it couldn’t find any records. And we now know that was flat-out untrue. Because, in responding to another one of our Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits, the Justice Department <a type="internal">gave us heavily redacted documents</a> that showed there were additional documents tucked away at the FBI headquarters.</p>

<p>In Washington, the ostensible story is rarely the real story. We know, for example, that former President Clinton engineered a meeting with President Obama’s attorney general, Loretta Lynch, on the tarmac of the Phoenix Airport on June 27, 2016.</p>
<p>That’s the official story, replete with the charming and intentionally disarming detail that all they talked about was their grandchildren. It was just coincidental, don’t you know, that at the time the FBI was looking into Hillary Clinton’s use of a “personal” email server to send, receive and store classified information.</p>
<p>And it was also simply coincidental that just a few days later, the director of the FBI – who served under Attorney General Lynch – announced that he wouldn’t recommend a prosecution of Hillary Clinton.</p>
<p>Richard Nixon must be rolling over in his grave.</p>
<q> <p>What we haven’t known, until now, is that a frantic scramble erupted in the halls of the FBI to cover up this meeting.</p> </q>
<p>What we haven’t known, until now, is that a frantic scramble erupted in the halls of the FBI to cover up this meeting. In fact, the FBI turned its sharp light not on the scandalous meeting between the attorney general and Bill Clinton – but rather on one of the whistleblowers who got the word out.</p>
<p>The organization I head, Judicial Watch, asked the FBI on July 7, 2016, for any records that might pertain to the infamous tarmac meeting. We had to sue after we were ignored by the agency.</p>
<p>Then the FBI told us flat-out that it couldn’t find any records. And we now know that was flat-out untrue. Because, in responding to another one of our Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits, the Justice Department <a type="internal">gave us heavily redacted documents</a> that showed there were additional documents tucked away at the FBI headquarters.</p>
<p>If not for Judicial Watch's lawsuits these documents would still be hidden today.</p>

True

<p>Iran and Russia plan to destroy Western Europe, the US, and Canada by means of a new wave of millions of Syrian Sunnis fleeing to the West to escape the Shiite takeover of Syria.</p>
<p>In my weekly column two months ago, I claimed that Iran is the real victor in the Syrian civil war. Using the war against ISIS as a smokescreen, it is taking over large swathes of Syrian territory, mainly in the scarcely populated middle and eastern parts of the country. In the more fertile and densely populated west of Syria, there are Iraqi, Afghan, and Iranian Shiite militias augmenting Lebanese Hezbollah fighters who were given carte blanche to do whatever Hassan Nasrallah decides to do there.</p>
<p>Assad’s strength continues to increase as ISIS and the other rebel forces lose ground. The brutality of Russian involvement and the cruelty of Shiite militias overcame the anti-Assad forces, the turning point occurs when in 2015, Turkey’ s Erdogan was forced by Russia to cease his aid to the rebels and ISIS. Today, although Erdogan is an unwilling ally of Russia, Alawite Assad still sees him, justifiably, as an Islamist enemy.</p>
<p>The Kurds of northeast Syria, treated as below third class citizens until 2011, will never agree to live under Arab mercy once again and it is reasonable to assume that should Syria remain an undivided country under Assad’s rule, the Kurds will preserve relative autonomy in their region – or fight the regime for their rights.</p>
<p>That is certainly a problem, but the main issue facing a united Syria is going to be the drastic demographic changes the country is going to face.</p>
<a type="internal" />
<p>First of all, about half of Syria’s citizens – close to 10 million – are refugees, half located in Syria and the other half in Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon, other Arab countries, Europe, North and South America, Australia and even Israel. Syrian refugees who reached points outside the Arab world will in all probability stay put, benefitting from the secure and orderly lives they can now lead. On the other hand, the 3.5 million now in Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey are awaiting the end of hostilities in order to return to their homes.</p>
<p>Those expectations may be dashed, however, because Syrian reality is totally changed, and large parts of its cities are in ruins after six and a half years of a cruel and bloody war. Countless bombs dropped from planes and helicopters, artillery and tank barrages, mines, and explosives planted by both sides have made much of urban Syria, where most of the fighting took place, unsafe to live in. In Homs, Aleppo, Adlib, Hamat and many other cities, entire neighborhoods will have to be razed and their infrastructure rebuilt from scratch. Decades and billions of dollars are needed to rebuild the country and I, for one, do not see the world’s nations standing in line to donate the necessary funds. Refugees will not agree to switch their tents in Jordan for ruined buildings lacking basic infrastructure in a desolate and destroyed Syria.</p>
<p>The other reason the refugees will not return is their justified fear of the new lords of the land – the Shiites. Iran has been moving Shiites from Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan to Syria for a long time in a clear attempt to change the demographic makeup of the country from the Sunni majority it had before the civil war broke out in 2011. The issue could not be more clear because it is no secret that the pre-civil war Sunni majority considered the Alawite ruler’s heretic idol worshippers who had no right to live in Syria, much less rule over it.</p>
<p>The Alawites know well that the Sunnis rebelled against them twice: The first time was from 1976 to 1982, a rebellion that took the lives of 50,000 citizens. The second time, slowly drawing to an end, has cost the lives of half a million men, women, children and aged citizens of Syria. The Alawites intend to prevent a third rebellion and the best way to do that is to change the majority of the population to Shiites instead of Sunnis. They will not allow the Sunni refugees to return to their homes, leaving them eternal refugees whose lands have been taken over by the enemy. Iran, meanwhile, will populate Syria with Shiites from Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan.</p>
<p>This ethnic cleansing is the Ayatollah’s dream come true, the dream that sees a Shiite crescent drawn from Iran through Iraq and Syria to Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea. This will cover the eastern Arab world from the north, while the war in Yemen is being fought in order to create a parallel southern crescent, entrapping Saudi Arabia and Jordan between the two. With the help of Allah, both those countries and Israel, the Small Satan, will soon fall into the hands of the Shiites, while Europe and America do nothing because who cares when Muslims fight other Muslims?</p>
<a href="https://israel365.com/store/the-israel-bible/the-israel-bible-complete-set-20-volumes/?a=4" type="external" />
<p>The Shiite majority in Syria will play along with Lebanon’s Hezbollah, their natural allies, and it is possible that some form of federation might be created between the two in order to push the Lebanese Christians out of the picture, “persuading” them to flee to other countries, leaving Lebanon to its “rightful” Shiite masters. This explains Nasrallah’s eager willingness to fight on Syrian soil as well as the opposition of those against Nasrallah to his involvement there.</p>
<p>The new demographic situation in Syria will convince the Sunni refugees that they have no place to which to return. They will try their best to be allowed to leave Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey for any country, preferably North America and Europe, willing to allow them entry. I predict a process that is the exact opposite of the one the world expects to take place when “peace” breaks out in Syria: Instead of refugees returning to their birthplace, expect the mass flight of Sunni refugees from the region, and expect a heightened incidence of Islamist terror in the countries that allow them in.</p>
<p>The reasons are obvious:</p>
<p>1. Former ISIS and rebel forces will infiltrate along with the refugees, because they, too, are Sunni. They are filled with fury and hatred for the Western countries who were part of the coalition that fought ISIS or stood by without aiding the rebels. Some of them will continue their Jihad on European and North American soil. Expect shootings, explosives and ramming attacks against citizens of these countries.</p>
<p>2. Some of the refugees will not find work and live on the economic and social fringes of society, in poverty-stricken Islamist neighborhoods which have already existed for years in many European cities, and where the local police fear to tread. Poverty and life on the fringe of society will turn some of the Muslim young people into easy prey for terrorist organization recruiters who arouse the desire for Jihad by describing the accepting host countries as decadent societies infected with permissiveness, prostitution, alcohol, drugs, materialism, and corruption. They present the countries that allowed the immigrants entry as having done so to take advantage of them as industrial slaves, garage hands, cashiers and other degrading occupations, while the privileged citizens are lawyers, accountant, businessmen, and homeowners who take advantage of the migrants in humiliating ways. It is only a matter of time until young Muslims, especially those who were taught that “everyone is equal” in Western schools, enlist in terrorist organizations.</p>
<p>3. Countries which allow in refugees will suffer a higher crime rate as a result, including violence in public places, sexual attacks, and harassment, housebreaking, car theft, substance abuse, unreported work to avoid paying taxes and illegal construction. This will all occur at the same time these countries expend a larger part of their budgets on social services for the refugees, from child allowances to unemployment, health and old age benefits. At this point in time, the percentage of second and third generation immigrants populating the prisons in Western Europe is significantly larger than their percentage in the general population.</p>
<p>4. Increased economic, social and security problems in Europe and North America as a result of the rise in the number of migrants will lead to a rise in the strength of the right and the extreme right. This will, in turn, lead to more social tensions in the West. Members of Parliament whose only wish is to be re-elected will adapt their parliamentary activity – especially the laws they promote – to the expectations of the rapidly Islamizing constituencies, sacrificing their own people’s interests on the altar of their political careers. Many Europeans, aware of their elected leaders’ betrayal, will despair and leave those socially and economically deteriorating countries. This will increase the rate at which Europe turns into an Islamic region.</p>
<p>And that is how the agreements Iran and Russia will soon coerce Syria into accepting are going to start a chain reaction increasing the number of refugees and pulling Europe down to a point of no return, without the world understanding what is going on. The Atlantic Ocean is not wide enough to protect North America from this debacle crossing the sea.</p>
<p>This is how the Iranian Ayatollahs intend to destroy the heretic, permissive, drunk and materialistic West. More of the unfortunate Syrian millions will find themselves exiled to the heretic countries hated by the Ayatollahs, and Iran will operate from Syrian soil to vanquish Europe and America.</p>

<p>Apparently, condemning the NFL's kneeling protests of the national anthem is a step too far for CNN commentator Keith Boykin.

It's not about respect for the flag. It's about fanning the flames of racial hatred and this president is a master of that and that's the reason why he’s playing plantation politics. He thinks apparently that he is a slave master of black people in the NFL, of black people in the country. </q>

<p>Yet again we see more evidence that the media and leftist government officials are lying to the American public. What is the agenda? What reality are they try to protect? Why are they risking violence when it is unnecessary?</p>
<p>Watch this video posted on Facebook by Will Johnson, a common sense conservative, who intends to be a part of a free speech rally this weekend in San Francisco. As he states it is intended to be a pro Trump rally, however it is clearly being painted by politicians and the media as a white supremacist rally with a call for the presence of Antifa. How is it possible to have a white supremacy rally when the rally barely has any white people attending?</p>

<p>We have made great strides in the policing of thought in this country. Just ask <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2014/04/03/mozilla-ceo-steps-down/7262129/" type="external">Brendan Eich</a>, one of the founders of Mozilla, developers of the web browser Firefox. Eich had just landed a promotion to the big chair as Mozilla’s CEO. He lasted all of nine days. The reason? Back in 2008 Eich donated a thousand dollars to support Proposition 8, the California ballot initiative to ban same-sex marriage. The unearthing of this donation led to protests from gay rights activists and the h <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/online/okcupid-now-asking-users-to-boycott-mozilla-due-to-browser-ceos-gay-marriage-opposition/" type="external">igh profile call for a boycott</a> of Firefox by dating site <a href="http://OkCupid.com" type="external">OkCupid.com</a>. Eich, as many people in circumstances such as his, was stricken with the sudden desire to “spend more time with his family” and quietly resigned.</p>
<p>Regardless of your position on same sex marriage, those activists who led to Eich’s resignation should be ashamed. Their basic message? “You’d better be tolerant. Or else we will show you a display of true tolerance. By crushing you.” In fact, it is no longer enough to be tolerant. Prior to his resignation, Eich <a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/mozilla-ceo-gay-marriage-firestorm-could-hurt-firefox-cause-q-a/" type="external">told tech site CNET</a> “[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’ll probably fail.” In the same interview, he said that he wished for those who were calling for his ouster to know that “without getting into my personal beliefs, which I separate from my Mozilla work — when people learned of the donation, they felt pain. I saw that in friends’ eyes, [friends] who are LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered]. I saw that in 2012. I am sorry for causing that pain.”</p>
<p>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–as well he should have been. But to the activist crowd, it’s not enough that people are tolerant. They must offer affirmation of the LGBT agenda or pay the price. Their much vaunted toleration doesn’t extend to those who might have opposing viewpoints, like Eich.</p>
<p>Of course, gay rights activists claim that Eich’s 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’d wager that many of them aren’t such dogged defenders of rights when asked about, say, the Second Amendment. And I’m hearing curiously little from these champions of freedom about the fact that <a href="https://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2008/11/70-of-african-a.html" type="external">70 percent of California’s African Americans</a> 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’s not about principle. It’s about ramming through the “right” outcomes.</p>
<p>An <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/mozilla-ceo-resigns-furor-gay-rights-23183497" type="external">Associated Press piece</a> about Eich’s resignation asks “whether 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.” Geez, ya think? Andrew Sullivan, the unreliably conservative columnist <a href="https://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2014/04/03/the-hounding-of-brendan-eich/" type="external">had this to say</a>:</p>
<q> <p>Will [Eich] now be forced to walk through the streets in shame? Why not the stocks? The whole episode disgusts me – as it should disgust anyone interested in a tolerant and diverse society. If this is the gay rights movement today – hounding our opponents with a fanaticism more like the religious right than anyone else – 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.</p> </q>
<p>The trite knock at the religious right is to be expected from a regular guest on Bill Maher’s 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’t require the squashing of all dissenting viewpoints.</p>
<p>Liberals like to mock those who speak of the “gay agenda.” 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’t 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 “spend more time with family” at any time.</p>

<p>The <a type="internal">NFL</a>‘s position after <a type="internal">commissioner Roger Goodell</a>‘s news conference Wednesday was clear: The league wants its players to stand for the national anthem.</p>
<p>However, it appears there will be no rule passed to force that issue.</p>
<p>Goodell had a news conference at the NFL’s fall meetings that lasted about 20 minutes and almost every question was related to the anthem and player protests. Goodell’s main talking point was that the NFL also will listen to its players about social issues and wants to be a part of the solution.</p>
<p>Everyone was focused on what will happen at NFL games with the national anthem, which has become the most divisive issue among fans that the league has seen in a long time.</p>
<p>“We believe everyone should stand for the anthem,” Goodell said. “That’s an important part of our policy, it’s also an important part of our game that we all take great pride in. It’s also important for us to honor our flag and our country and we think our fans expect us to do that.”</p>
<p>The best outcome for the NFL would be for the players to stop protesting without the league making a rule change. Goodell sounded like the league hopes that if it keeps working with its players to help with their issues, with racial equality and law enforcement reform, then perhaps the protests will end.</p>
<p>“The fact is, we have about a half a dozen players that are protesting,” Goodell said. “We hope and we’re going to continue to work to try to put that at zero. That’s what we’d like to do. But we want to make sure we’re understanding what the players are talking about, and that’s complex.”</p>
<p>The number Goodell cited seems low, considering seven <a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/10/15/49ers-players-anthem-protest-continues-in-d-c-albeit-dwindled/" type="external">San Francisco 49ers players alone took a knee for last Sunday’s anthem</a>, and as many as 30 49ers players were taking a knee two weeks ago. But it appeared he wanted to make it a point that it’s not as widespread of an issue as it is being made out to be.</p>
<p>Goodell was asked why the NFL wouldn’t make it a rule to stand. <a type="internal">New York Giants</a> owner John Mara <a href="https://twitter.com/garymyersNYDN/status/920714167115485184" type="external">told the Daily News</a> that the league has no plans to make a rule about standing for the anthem.</p>
<p>“We believe our players should stand for the national anthem. That’s an important part of our game and our moments, and we believe in that,” Goodell said. “I think we also have to keep focus on this: We have about six or seven players involved in this protest at this point. This is something, what we’ve tried to do is we’ve tried to deal with the underlying issue and understand what it is they’re protesting and try to address that matter. The important thing for us is to be able to do that and take that opportunity to make real differences in our community. That is really what’s ultimately going to be the important aspect for us long term. Because this is a long-term issue.</p>
<p>“I understand the way our fans feel about this issue, and we feel the same way about the importance of our flag, the importance of patriotism, and I believe our players feel that way. The will state to you and they have stated to everyone publicly, they’re not doing this in any way to be disrespectful to the flag, but they also understand how it’s being interpreted.”</p>
<p>Goodell was also asked about the latest tweet from <a type="internal">President Donald Trump</a> about the NFL.</p>
<q> <p>The NFL has decided that it will not force players to stand for the playing of our National Anthem. Total disrespect for our great country!</p> </q>
<p>Goodell said he has not talked to Trump about the anthem issue.</p>
<p>“We respect our country, respect our flag, respect our national anthem,” Goodell said. “I think you look at our clubs and what they do on a daily basis, look at our players and what they do and how they participate in that, we all feel very strongly about our country and our pride.”</p>

"<p>On the morning following an excellent Champions League game, what do you know?</p>
<p>The Daily Record has yet another story linking Celtic fans to extremism, and this one is as bent looking as it’s possible to be. Today they are featuring a “Celtic fan” who sent a “bomb threat” to Ibrox with an ISIS twist. On Twitter. And it doesn’t take much to knock this story on its ass.</p>

<p>The easily triggered college students of the left won’t let facts stand in the way of their false outrage.</p>
<p>In a hilarious video that’s going viral, students at the University of California, Santa Barbara were hopping mad over President Donald Trump’s plan to send troops to the U.S.-Mexico border just 200 miles away… not knowing they were trashing former President Barack Obama, too.</p>
<p>“It’s not justified!” seethed one of the students. “It is, like, a totally uncalled-for act of power.”</p>

<p>Another came right out and admitted to Cabot Phillips of Campus Reform, who filmed it, that “I’m not a huge fan of the military to begin with.”</p>
<p>The footage shows student after student steaming over the plan to increase border security. Take a look here —</p> Americans In The Dark On Trump's Plan To End The U.S. Dollar
<p>Just one problem: The very act they’re livid over — the actions they blame on Trump — are the same exact moves made by former President Barack Obama, the hero of the young leftists.</p>
<p>When that fact is dropped on them, it leaves the liberals stunned into silence.</p>

<p>In 2010, Obama sent up to 1,200 troops to the border as part of the $110 million Operation Phalanx.</p>
<p>Those troops assisted border patrol with more than 17,000 apprehensions of people caught trying to cross illegally.</p>
<p>They also intercepted massive amounts of drugs, including 56,342 pounds of marijuana with a street value of more than $100 million.</p>

<p>When told that Obama did the same thing, these young leftists were left stammering and one was literally speechless.</p>
<p>They couldn’t approve the move because Trump did it — but they couldn’t condemn it anymore, either, since their hero did the same thing.</p>
<p>“That’s kind surprising,” was the best response one of the students could manage.</p>
<p>“People have been so conditioned to think anytime they hear ‘President Trump’ they have to oppose it,” Phillips observed in a Fox News interview. “They’re taught in the classroom, they’re taught by society and the media, it must be horrible, it must be racist.”</p>

<p>It’s not just Obama did the same thing.</p>
<p>California Gov. Jerry Brown has also authorized sending National Guard troops to the border both during the Obama administration and now again under Trump.</p>
<p>While his most recent act also involved sending a sulky letter filled with textbook liberal gripes, he also was forced to admit that National Guard troops play an essential role in U.S. border security.</p>
<p>“Your funding for new staffing will allow the Guard to do what it does best: support operations targeting transnational criminal gangs, human traffickers and illegal firearm and drug smugglers along the border, the coast and throughout the state,” Brown admitted in the letter to Trump. “Combating these criminal threats are priorities for all Americans — Republicans and Democrats.”</p>

<p>Tionne ‘T-Boz’ Watkins recently revealed that a family member was killed at the hands of an itchy trigger-fingered cop.</p>
<p>Watkins hit the the net with her heartbreaking story about her cousin, 25-year-old Eddie Russell, Jr., who was shot multiple times and killed by police in Peoria, Illinois.</p>
<p>The department is investigating the fatal shooting death, however T-Boz and her family are disputing the officer’s account of what happened.</p>
<p>T-Boz posted the tweets above with the following caption:</p>
<q> <p>My Cousin Was Shot 18 Times Including the Face and Back of His Head! He Harmed NO ONE EVER! He Had Mental Health Issues AND THE COPS KNEW THAT! Anything he’s ever Done Was minor and NON VIOLENT! Eddie Russell Jr -A Human-Being -A Son- Brother-Friend-Nephew – Cousin-HUMAN! The cops told his mother to call him out on a bullhorn USED her saying “WE WILL GIVE HIM THE HELP HE NEEDS” and He Came Out Because He Heard His Mother and They used beyond excessive force to gun him down also with heavy artillery used in warfare! 18 times? Shot eighteen times??? IF THEIR GOING ON WHAT HES HOLDING AT THE BANK THAT ISN’T A GUN! (Picture Is Posted)They Keep saying he had a gun! I don’t see a gun in his hand at the bank they say he tried to rob! That’s NOT A GUN! They blocked everyone off including neighbors at a 4 block radius including his mother and father and family!People could NOT go home! So no camera phones accessible is that why? COPS DIDN’T HAVE ON BODY CAMS now isn’t that convenient! They Lied and told family members Eddie Jr was at the hospital to get them away from the house knowing he was dead outside the house where they killed him! They kept his BODY OUTSIDE ON THE GROUND FOR MANY MANY HOURS! First they reported he ran out shooting =LIES! Then one cop shot =LIES! Then 5-6 shots =LIES! Then 5-6 cops shot YEAH CLEARLY! But why SO MANY TIMES? Why THE AR15? They didn’t even wait for the negotiator to arrive or is it that the negotiator took his time getting there? They haven’t Even Gave my cousin the RESPECT of trying to call and explain WHAT HAPPENED IN DETAIL TO HER CHILD! He needs JUSTICE! His Mother and Father and Family need JUSTICE!!!! This wasn’t a hostage situation! He didn’t threaten anyone’s life! This was a mentally iLL young man who needed help and should have received just that! PLEASE HELP HIS MOTHER AND SPREAD HER STORY SO SHE CAN GET THE HELP SHE NEEDS AND JUSTICE FOR HER SON!!!! His Mother Has Tried For Many Years To Get Her Son Mental Health Counseling He Needed! The system Failed Him and Her! #AmericaIsTainted #TrumpIsAChump #TakeAKnee #BendAKnee #JusticeForEddieJr #Shot18Times #tboz #tlc #tbeezy #tlcarmy #justice #peoriaillinois #EddieRussell</p> </q>
<p>Eddie Russell, Jr., who suffers from mental illness, was named as a suspect in an armed robbery.</p>
<p>Officers claim he robbed the First Mid-Illinois Bank and Trust before returning home where an hours-long police stand-off ensued. Officers reportedly fired their weapons after Russell, Jr. emerged from his home.</p>
<p>According to police accounts, Russell, Jr. exited the home in an “aggressive” manner and the officers stated they believed he was holding the same handgun used in the robbery.</p>
<p>Eddie Russell, Jr. was pronounced dead at the scene on Wednesday, September 20.</p>
<p>Condolences to T-Boz and her family. Hopefully they will find the answers they seek in this horrible tragedy.</p>

<p>Dear Lefties: It’s official! You are very special, according to science.</p>
<p>Throughout history, being left-handed has been viewed as a weakness or something to overcome. Heck, just 20 years ago, studies said that left-handed people <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2006231" type="external">die sooner</a> and were <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1349905/" type="external">prone to more accidents</a>. Why? It’s not your fault, lefties—you’re living in a world built for right-handed people!</p>
<p>Doors are made for the right hand. Simple household items like scissors and can openers are made for the right hand. Even writing can be more of a challenge for lefties.</p>
<p>But studies have revealed some interesting facts about left-handedness. And, it turns out, there are some serious perks to being a leftie—including a higher likelihood of excelling at sports and better problem-solving skills (take that, righties!). Read on for some fun facts about and great perks of being left-handed.</p> San Diego Padres v Arizona Diamondbacks by Darin Wallentine / Getty Images Sport 1. We Don’t Know Why Left-Handed People Exist
<p>In spite of a good deal of research over the years, there still isn’t a definitive answer as to why some humans are left-handed. It could be partly <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1839378" type="external">hereditary from the mother’s side</a> of the family tree. Another theory is that if there is more testosterone in the womb, there’s a greater chance the baby will be left-handed. In <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15513117" type="external">one study</a>, twins were twice as likely to be left-handed as compared to the rest of the world.</p> 2.

<p>Various studies estimate that <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3258574/#!po=15.0000" type="external">between 5 and 26</a> percent of the population is left-handed. But those numbers vary depending on culture and region being studied.</p> Flickr | Dave Haygarth

Even with these questionable practices going on, the trait of left-handedness has not died. Instead of survival of the fittest, left-handedness is sort of a “survival of the unexpected.” For instance, in <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/03/health/being-left-handed-health-impact/" type="external">primitive cultures</a>, 27 percent of people living in war-like regions were left-handed, compared to 3 percent in peaceful regions.

<p>One student sported a rainbow cape, while a number of others who walked out in protest bore rainbow flags on their graduation caps. Pence, a former governor of Indiana, has <a href="http://time.com/4406337/mike-pence-gay-rights-lgbt-religious-freedom/?ncid=edlinkushpmg00000313" type="external">a history of hostility</a> toward <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/oct/04/mike-pence-led-anti-lgbt-backlash-trump?ncid=edlinkushpmg00000313" type="external">the LGBTQ community</a>.</p>
<p>In his remarks at the Indiana university, the vice president criticized what he called campus “safe spaces” and urged students not to suppress free speech.</p>
<p>“While this institution has maintained an atmosphere of civility and open debate, far too many campuses across America have become characterized by speech codes, safe spaces, tone policing, administration-sanctioned political correctness ― all of which amounts to the suppression of free speech,” he said. “These practices are destructive of learning and the pursuit of knowledge.”</p>

<p>This past weekend, Americans watched in shock as “alt-right” members, neo-Nazis and white nationalists descended upon Charlottesville, Virginia, attempting to spread their message of hate and intolerance. Clashes between white nationalists and counter-protesters were numerous. One counter-protester, Heather Heyer, was killed when a man rammed his car into several counter-protesters. The man, 20-year-old James Alex Fields Jr., was later charged with second-degree murder. Earlier that day, he was photographed displaying the symbols of a white nationalist group called Vanguard America, which later denied he was a member.</p>
<p>That weekend journalist Shaun King <a href="https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/897311005419728897" type="external">posted a video</a> of several men beating a 20-year-old man named Deandre Harris. King, who was attempting to confirm the identities of the men behind the beating, found that one of the men, Alex Michael Ramos, identifies as Latino. A group called the <a href="https://twitter.com/afainatl/status/897312316424835073" type="external">Atlanta Antifascists then tweeted</a> that Ramos was affiliated with the Atlanta chapter of the far-right organization Proud Boys and the far-right militia called the Georgia Security Force.</p> In a
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvBXKX-Q8K8" type="external">Facebook live video</a> that has since been deleted, Ramos claimed he wasn’t racist because he was Puerto Rican.
<a type="internal" />
<p>When a viewer asked why he marched with racists, Ramos said, “I stood by racist people but they weren’t racist to me.” Ramos’ assertion that his Puerto Rican roots meant he couldn’t be racist is a prime example of Latinos who are completely ignorant of their ability to perpetuate white supremacy.</p>
<p>Guess what? Latinos, both here and in Latin America, do and say plenty of things that promote anti-blackness — and most of the time we don’t even blink an eye when it happens. When it comes to discussing racism, we often subscribe to the black vs. white binary that we often see in the United States. If our views aren’t extreme, if we’re not a “full-blown racist,” then we’re completely absolved of perpetuating anti-blackness, right? Wrong. When we think like that, we tend to ignore the colorism — often subtle — that permeates through much of Latin America. It’s a difficult thing to confront, but if we don’t address it within our own community, we can’t expect it to magically resolve itself.</p>
<p>Pulitzer prize-winning Dominican-American author Junot Diaz <a href="http://bookhaven.stanford.edu/2012/06/junot-diaz-on-oscar-waos-yunior-and-the-word-that-could-have-saved-him/" type="external">once said</a>, “White supremacy’s greatest trick is that it has convinced people that it exists always in other people, never in us.”</p>
<p>Don’t believe him?</p> Earlier this year, Carlos Hakas, the man who angrily knocked over an elotero’s cart in Los Angeles, exclaimed, “I’m not racist, I’m from Argentina!”
<a type="internal" /> In 2015, Univision entertainment reporter Rodner Figueroa compared Michelle Obama to a cast member of “Planet of The Apes.”
<p>When he was fired over the comments, Figueroa wrote an <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/12/rodner-figueroa-carta-michelle-obama-disculpas_n_6857160.html" type="external">open letter</a> to Michelle Obama saying he isn’t racist because he comes from a bi-racial family.</p> What about last year, when Black Lives Matter was marching in the streets and you heard someone (maybe it was you) say, “Latinos need to fight for our causes, like immigration reform,” completely ignoring the fact that there are black Latinos?
<a type="internal" /> It doesn’t just happen in the U.S. The idea that anti-blackness is only a thing perpetuated by “white Americans” is what leads a Mexican sports newspaper to make jokes like this one, literally days after a person died in Charlottesville:
<q> <p>Meanwhile, in Mexican print media… ?? <a href="https://t.co/xwyW0QWfJc" type="external">pic.twitter.com/xwyW0QWfJc</a></p> <p>— Laura Martínez® (@miblogestublog) <a href="https://twitter.com/miblogestublog/status/898254762751209472" type="external">August 17, 2017</a></p> </q>
<p>Yes, Real Madrid are nicknamed “Los Blancos,” but the joke is clearly rooted in the idea that “white supremacy” is a problem “over there” in the U.S. and not in Mexico, where they released a stamp <a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/id/8410111/ns/world_news-americas/t/us-mexican-stamp-fuels-racial-stereotypes/#.WZYRd3d96so" type="external">celebrating a cartoon character that is a racist stereotype</a>.</p> Last year, Trilce Ortiz listed eight (out of many) ways that Latinos perpetuate anti-blackness. 404 File not found this page does not exist. please check your URL or return to homepage
<p>Right now would be a good time for us to revisit that and not just stop there, but continue to educate ourselves on how we can make sure we’re not promoting white supremacy.</p> Recommend this story to a friend by clicking on the share button below.

King, who was attempting to confirm the identities of the men behind the beating, found that one of the men, Alex Michael Ramos, identifies as Latino. A group called the <a href="https://twitter.com/afainatl/status/897312316424835073" type="external">Atlanta Antifascists then tweeted</a> that Ramos was affiliated with the Atlanta chapter of the far-right organization Proud Boys and the far-right militia called the Georgia Security Force.</p> In a
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvBXKX-Q8K8" type="external">Facebook live video</a> that has since been deleted, Ramos claimed he wasn’t racist because he was Puerto Rican.
<a type="internal" />
<p>When a viewer asked why he marched with racists, Ramos said, “I stood by racist people but they weren’t racist to me.” Ramos’ assertion that his Puerto Rican roots meant he couldn’t be racist is a prime example of Latinos who are completely ignorant of their ability to perpetuate white supremacy.</p>
<p>Guess what? Latinos, both here and in Latin America, do and say plenty of things that promote anti-blackness — and most of the time we don’t even blink an eye when it happens. When it comes to discussing racism, we often subscribe to the black vs. white binary that we often see in the United States. If our views aren’t extreme, if we’re not a “full-blown racist,” then we’re completely absolved of perpetuating anti-blackness, right? Wrong. When we think like that, we tend to ignore the colorism — often subtle — that permeates through much of Latin America. It’s a difficult thing to confront, but if we don’t address it within our own community, we can’t expect it to magically resolve itself.</p>
<p>Pulitzer prize-winning Dominican-American author Junot Diaz <a href="http://bookhaven.stanford.edu/2012/06/junot-diaz-on-oscar-waos-yunior-and-the-word-that-could-have-saved-him/" type="external">once said</a>, “White supremacy’s greatest trick is that it has convinced people that it exists always in other people, never in us.”</p>
<p>Don’t believe him?</p> Earlier this year, Carlos Hakas, the man who angrily knocked over an elotero’s cart in Los Angeles, exclaimed, “I’m not racist, I’m from Argentina!”
<a type="internal" /> In 2015, Univision entertainment reporter Rodner Figueroa compared Michelle Obama to a cast member of “Planet of The Apes.”
<p>When he was fired over the comments, Figueroa wrote an <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/12/rodner-figueroa-carta-michelle-obama-disculpas_n_6857160.html" type="external">open letter</a> to Michelle Obama saying he isn’t racist because he comes from a bi-racial family.</p> What about last year, when Black Lives Matter was marching in the streets and you heard someone (maybe it was you) say, “Latinos need to fight for our causes, like immigration reform,” completely ignoring the fact that there are black Latinos?
<a type="internal" /> It doesn’t just happen in the U.S. The idea that anti-blackness is only a thing perpetuated by “white Americans” is what leads a Mexican sports newspaper to make jokes like this one, literally days after a person died in Charlottesville:
<q> <p>Meanwhile, in Mexican print media… ?? <a href="https://t.co/xwyW0QWfJc" type="external">pic.twitter.com/xwyW0QWfJc</a></p> <p>— Laura Martínez® (@miblogestublog) <a href="https://twitter.com/miblogestublog/status/898254762751209472" type="external">August 17, 2017</a></p> </q>
<p>Yes, Real Madrid are nicknamed “Los Blancos,” but the joke is clearly rooted in the idea that “white supremacy” is a problem “over there” in the U.S. and not in Mexico, where they released a stamp <a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/id/8410111/ns/world_news-americas/t/us-mexican-stamp-fuels-racial-stereotypes/#.WZYRd3d96so" type="external">celebrating a cartoon character that is a racist stereotype</a>.</p> Last year, Trilce Ortiz listed eight (out of many) ways that Latinos perpetuate anti-blackness. 404 File not found this page does not exist. please check your URL or return to homepage
<p>Right now would be a good time for us to revisit that and not just stop there, but continue to educate ourselves on how we can make sure we’re not promoting white supremacy.</p> Recommend this story to a friend by clicking on the share button below."

<p>BEIRUT, LEBANON (4:50 P.M.) – The battle for Al-Mayadeen proved to be a decisive victory for the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and their allies, as they were able to successfully uproot the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) from this large city in the Deir Ezzor Governorate.</p>
<p>For ISIS, their defeat at Al-Mayadeen could not come at a worse time, as their battlefield woes in Al-Raqqa and central Syria have handicapped their remaining forces inside the country.</p>
<p>On Sunday, Syrian news channels posted several videos showing the aftermath of the Al-Mayadeen battle and the recently liberated areas surrounding the city.</p>
<p>The footage showed scores of dead ISIS terrorists and a large number of armored vehicles that were destroyed by the Syrian Arab Army during their one week long offensive.</p>
<p>Gone.</p>
<p>With Al-Mayadeen liberated, the Syrian Army will now turn their attention to the provincial capital and Al-‘Umar Oil Fields in order to expel the Islamic Sate from more areas in Syria.</p>

<p>The Queen has sent a message of condolence to the President of the United States of America following a shooting on Sunday evening in which at least 58 people were killed, and over 500 others were injured.</p>
<p>In a statement, The Queen said: “Prince Philip and I were saddened to learn of the terrible attack in Las Vegas. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and the families and those who have been injured.”</p>
<p>The incident, which is now the worst mass shooting in recent American history, happened on Sunday evening and is said to have been perpetrated by a 64-year-old man named as Stephen Paddock.</p>
<p>Paddock opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel towards a festival which was being attended by 22,000 people.</p>
<p>It is not known what the motive for the attack was. However, investigators have said that there is no evidence the 64-year-old was linked to any international terrorist group.</p>
<p>President Donald Trump described the attack as “pure evil” and praised the emergency services saying that their speed saved lives. It is understood Mr Trump will be visiting Las Vegas later this week.</p>
<p>This is a developing story. More information will be added to this page as it becomes available.</p>

<p>Major League Baseball, the sport of Jackie Robinson and long ago a touchstone of civil rights, saw its first athlete join the movement started by Colin Kaepernick and inflamed this weekend by President Trump.</p>
<p>Oakland Athletics catcher Bruce Maxwell, who hinted at such an action earlier in the day, knelt during the national anthem before Saturday night's game against the Texas Rangers.</p>
<a type="internal" />
<q> <p>From the <a href="https://twitter.com/sfchronicle" type="external">@sfchronicle</a>’s Santiago Mejia, here is A’s rookie Bruce Maxwell becoming the first MLB player to take a knee for the anthem: <a href="https://t.co/q8QVY9hW15" type="external">pic.twitter.com/q8QVY9hW15</a></p>— Susan Slusser (@susanslusser) <a href="https://twitter.com/susanslusser/status/911758896162729984" type="external">September 24, 2017</a> </q>
<p>Maxwell, a 26-year-old catcher from Alabama, composed several tweets Saturday in the wake of President Trump's comments Friday night to "fire the sons of (expletives)" in the NFL who kneeled for the anthem. Kaepernick's protest was conceived in the wake of social injustices and the shooting of unarmed African Americans by law enforcement.</p>
<p>Maxwell's tweets Saturday made it clear that Trump's verbiage took the movement to another level: "This now has gone from just a BlackLives Matter topic to just complete inequality of any man or woman that wants to stand for Their rights!"</p>
<q> <p>This now has gone from just a BlackLives Matter topic to just complete inequality of any man or woman that wants to stand for Their rights!</p>— Bruce T Maxwell (@bruu_truu13) <a href="https://twitter.com/bruu_truu13/status/911677471422005249" type="external">September 23, 2017</a> </q>
<p>In a profane Instagram post, he implored <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BZZRDkXF1Y2/?taken-by=bruce_maxwell" type="external">"every single NFL player"</a> to kneel on Sunday, and then he followed up his words with actions before Saturday night's game in Oakland, kneeling in the dirt in front of the A's dugout at the Coliseum.</p>
<p>There was immediate support from his organization. Teammate Mark Canha kept a hand on Maxwell's shoulder as he engaged in his protest as the anthem played, and wrapped him in a hug once it concluded. And the A's sent out a message of support moments after the protest.</p>
<p>Maxwell has played in 104 career games and has a lifetime .256 batting average. He entered the season as the A's 10th-best prospect, according to Baseball America.</p>
<p>Maxwell, like Kaepernick an African American of mixed race, was born in Germany while his father was stationed there in the Army.</p>
<p>He was raised in Alabama, site of Trump's Friday night speech during which the president blasted NFL players for kneeling during the anthem and also bemoaned what he seemed to consider an overriding concern within the league for brain injuries.</p>
<p>Saturday morning, Trump took umbrage at Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry's reluctance to visit the White House and rescinded any invitation.</p>
<p>Trump's speech and morning-after tweets aroused a sports world that had largely let Kaepernick - currently without an NFL job - kneel alone since his protest began in August 2016.</p>
<p>As NFL players geared up for what may be a significant day of protest before Sunday's games, and NBA players blasted the president on social media as well, Maxwell's Twitter and Instagram feeds went beyond his usual penchant for Alabama Crimson Tide football.</p>
<p>A post shared by bruce_maxwell (@bruce_maxwell) on</p>
<p>But until he took a knee before Saturday's game, baseball did not yet have a player join in anthem protests that started with Kaepernick and continued through various NFL players and even to U.S. women's national soccer team star Megan Rapinoe.</p>
<p>The NFL and NBA are both majority African American leagues. Major League Baseball's decline in African American participation has been well-documented and this year, just 7.1% of players on opening-day rosters were black, <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2016/09/12/adam-jones-orioles-colin-kaepernick-white-mans-sport/90260326/" type="external">according to a USA TODAY Sports analysis</a>.</p>
<p>That's the lowest percentage since 1958. In September 2016, shortly after Kaepernick's protests began, Baltimore Orioles All-Star outfielder Adam Jones <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2016/09/12/adam-jones-orioles-colin-kaepernick-white-mans-sport/90260326/" type="external">told USA TODAY Sports</a>that a similar protest in MLB was unlikely because African-American players "already have two strikes against us, so you might as well not kick yourself out of the game. In football, you can’t kick them out. You need those players. In baseball, they don’t need us.</p>
<p>“Baseball is a white man’s sport.’’</p>
<p>Saturday night, Maxwell took that risk, inspired to act by what he saw around him and unafraid of any consequences.</p>

<p>The NFL and NBA are both majority African American leagues. Major League Baseball's decline in African American participation has been well-documented and this year, just 7.1% of players on opening-day rosters were black, <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2016/09/12/adam-jones-orioles-colin-kaepernick-white-mans-sport/90260326/" type="external">according to a USA TODAY Sports analysis</a>.</p>
<p>That's the lowest percentage since 1958. In September 2016, shortly after Kaepernick's protests began, Baltimore Orioles All-Star outfielder Adam Jones <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2016/09/12/adam-jones-orioles-colin-kaepernick-white-mans-sport/90260326/" type="external">told USA TODAY Sports</a>that a similar protest in MLB was unlikely because African-American players "already have two strikes against us, so you might as well not kick yourself out of the game. In football, you can’t kick them out. You need those players. In baseball, they don’t need us.</p>
<p>“Baseball is a white man’s sport.’’</p>
<p>Saturday night, Maxwell took that risk, inspired to act by what he saw around him and unafraid of any consequences.</p>"

<p>President Trump fired back at North Korea’s taunt, claiming that his nuclear button is bigger and better than Kim Jong Un’s. The administration also cut aid to Pakistan, citing its protection of terrorists, and Trump took aim at former White House strategist Steve Bannon, after the release of a bombshell book.</p>

<p>So there is <a type="internal">a new meme going around on Twitter,</a> that is becoming so popular even Kenny G is getting in on the action. It’s basic set up is a multiple choice dating profile questionnaire asking you who you are and what you’re looking for. It’s been around for almost a week, but really took off in the last few days, and I’m not even sure what to call it since it doesn’t seem to have an official name. There are a million great spins on this, but here are some of our faves!</p> 1.

<p>Yesterday, Twitter announced that it would be testing out a new feature — changing its character limit from 140 to 280. AND PEOPLE FLIPPED OUT. No one likes change, and as much as everyone <a type="internal">makes fun of Twitter</a>, we want it to stay the same. LISTEN TO US, @JACK! Here are some of the best reactions to Twitter’s proposed character limit change!</p> 1.

"<p>Yesterday, Twitter announced that it would be testing out a new feature — changing its character limit from 140 to 280. AND PEOPLE FLIPPED OUT.

<p>The driver of the vehicle that killed one person and injured more than a dozen others at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, is a known "radical leftist" supported by Hillary Clinton and George Soros.</p>
<p>Days after a 12 August 2017 neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia — in which a white <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-james-alex-fields-charlottesville-driver-20170813-story.html" type="external">supremacist</a> mowed down a group of counter-protesters with a car, <a href="https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2017/08/12/Protester-killed-at-Charlottesville-white-nationalist-rally/8841502557178/" type="external">killing</a> one and injuring dozens — various right-leaning web sites published reports claiming that the driver was actually a left-wing, Hillary Clinton-supporting Democrat.</p>
<p>We do not yet know very much about 20-year-old James Alex Fields Jr. of Maumee, Ohio, but such evidence as we have places him squarely in the camp of Charlottesville protesters who marched under the white nationalist banner. One of Fields’ former high school teachers, Derek Weimer, <a href="http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/local/northern-ky/2017/08/13/charlottesville-suspects-beliefs-were-along-party-lines-neo-nazi-movement-ex-teacher-says/563139001/" type="external">told</a> the Cincinnati Enquirer that the young man’s political views were extreme and flavored with Nazism:</p>
<q> <p>Weimer said that he knew of Fields’ political leanings early on. He said another teacher filed a report during Fields’ freshman year over something Fields had written for an assignment “that just went beyond the pale.”</p> <p>“It was very much along the party lines of the neo-Nazi movement,” Weimer said.</p> </q>
<p>Photos taken earlier on the day of the attack show Fields standing shoulder-to-shoulder with members of Charlottesville’s <a href="https://www.adl.org/education/resources/backgrounders/vanguard-america" type="external">Vanguard America</a>, wearing the group’s standard uniform and holding a shield with their logo, the fasces:</p>
<q> <p>James Alex Fields was w/ the Vanguard America folks in <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Charlottesville?src=hash" type="external">#Charlottesville</a>. Learn more about the group &gt; <a href="https://t.co/HNloF8Btnf" type="external">https://t.co/HNloF8Btnf</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ADL_National" type="external">@ADL_National</a> <a href="https://t.co/TmJLi0kfZo" type="external">pic.twitter.com/TmJLi0kfZo</a></p> </q>
<q> <p>A Daily News photog spotted James Fields (center) clutching a shield with a hate group’s insignia before the attack. <a href="https://t.co/VXGqyD2LWq" type="external">https://t.co/VXGqyD2LWq</a> <a href="https://t.co/LORfeVPquz" type="external">pic.twitter.com/LORfeVPquz</a></p> </q>
<p>According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the basic tenets of Vanguard America’s philosophy are as follows:</p>
<q> <p>Vanguard America (VA) is a white supremacist group that opposes multiculturalism and believes that America is an exclusively white nation. Using a right-wing nationalist slogan, Blood and Soil, VA romanticizes the notion that people with “white blood” have a special bond with “American soil.” This philosophy first originated in Germany (as Blut und Boden) and was later popularized by Hitler’s regime. In the same vein, VA uses “For Race and Nation” as a variant slogan. Following this theme, VA maintains that America “is to be a nation exclusively for the White American peoples who out of the barren hills, empty plains, and vast mountains forged the most powerful nation to ever have existed.”</p> </q>
<p>All of the above notwithstanding, the unreliable web site YourNewsWire.com <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170815002310/http://yournewswire.com/charlottesville-hillary-soros/" type="external">declared</a> that the mainstream media were “suppressing” proof that the vehicular attacker was “a left-wing operative at the heart of a false flag designed to spark civil war, introduce martial law, and take away the rights of conservative groups to assemble peacefully”:</p>
<q> <p>The man accused of being a neo-Nazi and murdering a woman by deliberately driving into her during protests in Charlottesville is in reality a supporter of Hillary Clinton and member of Antifa in receipt of funding by George Soros, according to reports.</p> <p>James Fields, 20, of Maumee, Ohio, allegedly killed Heather Heyer, aged 32, and injured 19 others when he rammed his car into a group of protesters on Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia.</p> <p>Mainstream media is claiming Fields is a neo-Nazi and has conveniently produced photographs showing Fields standing with Vanguard America and carrying a shield bearing the group’s insignia.</p> </q>
<p>Another right-leaning web site, Freedom Daily, didn’t mention Fields at all, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170814134328/http://freedomdaily.com/truth-terrorist-drove-charlottesville-riot-crowd-revealed-who-was-supposed-to-die/" type="external">blaming</a> the attack instead on an “Antifa terrorist” involved in a left-wing “false flag” conspiracy:</p>
<q> <p>Although it was originally reported that the driver of the car was a far right sympathizer it’s now been confirmed that it was indeed a Democrat Party member and Antifa terrorist drove his car into free speech advocates in Charlottesville Virginia this morning.</p> <p>It is common for revolutionary groups such as Antifa to use methods like this to implicate their enemies in order to evoke violence and start a civil war, which is what they have been working towards since Donald Trump won the presidency in November of 2016.</p> </q>
<p>Neither site has a leg to stand on. YourNewsWire provided no evidence that Fields was a “left-wing operative.” Freedom Daily joined <a href="http://archive.fo/cpmEn" type="external">Gateway Pundit</a>, Alt Right Real News, <a href="http://gotnews.com/update-charlottesville-driver-who-struck-crowd-in-custody-stay-tuned/" type="external">GotNews.com</a>, and other reliably unreliable sources in regurgitating misinformation put out by Internet “sleuths” who blithely <a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/08/report-driver-virginia-car-attack-anti-trump-protester-joel-vangheluwe/" type="external">fingered</a> an innocent teenager for the crime. These sites accused Joel Vangheluwe (who turned out to be the son of a former owner of the attack vehicle) of being the Charlottesville killer:</p>

<p>Vangheluwe, who is from Macomb County, Michigan, has been the target of death threats since these web sites named him, according to local news <a href="http://www.macombdaily.com/general-news/20170813/macomb-county-man-falsely-accused-in-charlottesville-car-attack" type="external">reports</a>:</p>
<q> <p>A Macomb County businessman and his family are living in fear after his teenage son was falsely rumored to have been the driver who plowed a car into a crowd protesting a white supremacist rally in Virginia.</p> <p>Jerome Vangheluwe of Bruce Township said his son was incorrectly identified by several right-wing websites as being the owner and driver of a Dodge Challenger that rammed through counter-protestors Saturday, killing a woman and wounding at least 19 others.</p> <p>Vangheluwe says even though he sold the car years ago, the family was being targeted for death threats from people mistakenly believing the son, Joel, was responsible for the horrific act.</p> </q>
<p>The Michigan State Police responded to the threats against Vangheluwe by affirming that there is no known Michigan connection to the Charlottesville attack:</p>
<q> <p>.2) Local media if you are contacted by other outlets there is not a Michigan connection that we are aware of at this time.</p> </q>
<p>Some of the sites that got it so egregiously wrong — Gateway Pundit, for one — quietly deleted their erroneous posts and moved on without issuing corrections or retractions. Others, such as GotNews.com, published <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170813000033/http://gotnews.com/update-charlottesville-driver-who-struck-crowd-in-custody-stay-tuned/" type="external">corrections</a> — and then congratulated themselves for doing so. Freedom Daily updated their page to identify the right suspect, but perpetuated their “leftists did it” scenario by claiming the driver lost control while trying to “escape” anti-fascist demonstrators who were allegedly throwing things at his car, and never meant to hurt anyone (a claim directly <a href="https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2017/08/12/Protester-killed-at-Charlottesville-white-nationalist-rally/8841502557178/" type="external">contradicted</a> by Charlottesville’s police chief, who described the vehicular attack as “premeditated”).</p>
<p>All these reports dovetail into a grander conspiracy theory peddled by InfoWars founder Alex Jones and his ilk, exemplified in the rambling, hour-long video <a href="https://www.infowars.com/exclusive-virginia-riots-staged-to-bring-in-martial-law-ban-conservative-gatherings/" type="external">rant</a> below, part of an InfoWars.com post entitled “Virginia Riots Staged to Bring in Martial Law, Ban Conservative Gatherings”. In brief, Jones claims that the violence in Charlottesville is but one example of a well-orchestrated plot by billionaire leftist George Soros, former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), “globalists,” the “deep state”, Jewish actors pretending to be neo-Nazis, and God only knows who else to foment unrest, start a race war, bring down President Trump, and pave the way for martial law in the United States:</p>
<p>We listened in vain for Jones to provide any evidence for these claims beyond vague references to WikiLeaks e-mails in which highly placed Democrats supposedly discussed “controlling” the populace by keeping them “in the dark” and “desperate”:</p>
<q> <p>Now, if you go back to the WikiLeaks from over a year ago, the Democratic Party is sending e-mails to George Soros and back and forth at the highest levels of the Democratic Party, saying, “We’re losing the public. Minorities are getting into free market. We want to keep people in their mother’s basements as baristas.’ “Remember even Hillary said that. ‘What are we going to do to keep control of them? Keep them in the dark, keep them desperate. These are quotes. Hundreds and hundred of e-mails. We’ve covered them, written articles about it, linking to them. They didn’t deny that they’re real. They’re real. They said what do we do? They said we go to culture war.</p> </q>
<p>“These are quotes,” Jones said, but when we attempted to verify that Clinton actually uttered the words “What are we going to do to keep control of them? Keep them in the dark, keep them desperate,” we found nothing in any public sources, including <a href="https://wikileaks.org/" type="external">WikiLeaks.org</a>, to confirm it — and in point of fact, we found no published statements even vaguely resembling those.</p>
<p>We were able to confirm something Hillary Clinton did not say, however, namely: “We want to keep people in their mother’s basements as baristas.” Ironically, the place we were able to confirm it was Jones’ own web site, InfoWars.com, which in October 2016 <a href="https://www.infowars.com/clinton-describes-sanders-supporters-as-basement-dwellers-baristas-in-leaked-recording/" type="external">reposted</a> an <a href="https://www.rt.com/usa/361338-clinton-sanders-supporters-remarks/" type="external">article</a> from pro-Putin news site Russia Today alleging that Clinton had described rival Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders’ younger supporters as “basement dwellers” and “baristas” — which wasn’t really accurate either.</p>
<p>Here’s what Clinton really said, transcribed from an audio clip posted on InfoWars (and elsewhere):</p>
<q> <p>Some [Sanders supporters] are new to politics completely. They’re children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents’ basement. They feel that they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they don’t see much of a future. I met with a group of young black millennials today and, you know, one of the young women said, “You know, none of us feel that we have the job that we should have gotten out of college. And we don’t believe the job market is going to give us much of a chance.” So that is a mindset that is really affecting their politics. And so if you’re feeling like you’re consigned to, you know, being a barista, or you know, some other job that doesn’t pay a lot, and doesn’t have some other ladder of opportunity attached to it, then the idea that maybe, just maybe, you could be part of a political revolution is pretty appealing. So I think we all should be really understanding of that and we should try to do the best we can not to be, you know, a wet blanket on idealism. We want people to be idealistic…..</p> </q>
<p>To recap, there’s virtually nothing accurate in Alex Jones’ statement purporting to quote Hillary Clinton and WikiLeaks.</p>
<p>We’ve addressed an inquiry to InfoWars for clarification, and await their reply.</p>

Consider this news article text:
"<p>The driver of the vehicle that killed one person and injured more than a dozen others at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, is a known "radical leftist" supported by Hillary Clinton and George Soros.</p>
<p>Days after a 12 August 2017 neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia — in which a white <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-james-alex-fields-charlottesville-driver-20170813-story.html" type="external">supremacist</a> mowed down a group of counter-protesters with a car, <a href="https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2017/08/12/Protester-killed-at-Charlottesville-white-nationalist-rally/8841502557178/" type="external">killing</a> one and injuring dozens — various right-leaning web sites published reports claiming that the driver was actually a left-wing, Hillary Clinton-supporting Democrat.</p>
<p>We do not yet know very much about 20-year-old James Alex Fields Jr. of Maumee, Ohio, but such evidence as we have places him squarely in the camp of Charlottesville protesters who marched under the white nationalist banner. One of Fields’ former high school teachers, Derek Weimer, <a href="http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/local/northern-ky/2017/08/13/charlottesville-suspects-beliefs-were-along-party-lines-neo-nazi-movement-ex-teacher-says/563139001/" type="external">told</a> the Cincinnati Enquirer that the young man’s political views were extreme and flavored with Nazism:</p>
<q> <p>Weimer said that he knew of Fields’ political leanings early on. He said another teacher filed a report during Fields’ freshman year over something Fields had written for an assignment “that just went beyond the pale.”</p> <p>“It was very much along the party lines of the neo-Nazi movement,” Weimer said.</p> </q>
<p>Photos taken earlier on the day of the attack show Fields standing shoulder-to-shoulder with members of Charlottesville’s <a href="https://www.adl.org/education/resources/backgrounders/vanguard-america" type="external">Vanguard America</a>, wearing the group’s standard uniform and holding a shield with their logo, the fasces:</p>
<q> <p>James Alex Fields was w/ the Vanguard America folks in <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Charlottesville?src=hash" type="external">#Charlottesville</a>. Learn more about the group &gt; <a href="https://t.co/HNloF8Btnf" type="external">https://t.co/HNloF8Btnf</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ADL_National" type="external">@ADL_National</a> <a href="https://t.co/TmJLi0kfZo" type="external">pic.twitter.com/TmJLi0kfZo</a></p> </q>
<q> <p>A Daily News photog spotted James Fields (center) clutching a shield with a hate group’s insignia before the attack. <a href="https://t.co/VXGqyD2LWq" type="external">https://t.co/VXGqyD2LWq</a> <a href="https://t.co/LORfeVPquz" type="external">pic.twitter.com/LORfeVPquz</a></p> </q>
<p>According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the basic tenets of Vanguard America’s philosophy are as follows:</p>
<q> <p>Vanguard America (VA) is a white supremacist group that opposes multiculturalism and believes that America is an exclusively white nation. Using a right-wing nationalist slogan, Blood and Soil, VA romanticizes the notion that people with “white blood” have a special bond with “American soil.” This philosophy first originated in Germany (as Blut und Boden) and was later popularized by Hitler’s regime. In the same vein, VA uses “For Race and Nation” as a variant slogan. Following this theme, VA maintains that America “is to be a nation exclusively for the White American peoples who out of the barren hills, empty plains, and vast mountains forged the most powerful nation to ever have existed.”</p> </q>
<p>All of the above notwithstanding, the unreliable web site YourNewsWire.com <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170815002310/http://yournewswire.com/charlottesville-hillary-soros/" type="external">declared</a> that the mainstream media were “suppressing” proof that the vehicular attacker was “a left-wing operative at the heart of a false flag designed to spark civil war, introduce martial law, and take away the rights of conservative groups to assemble peacefully”:</p>
<q> <p>The man accused of being a neo-Nazi and murdering a woman by deliberately driving into her during protests in Charlottesville is in reality a supporter of Hillary Clinton and member of Antifa in receipt of funding by George Soros, according to reports.</p> <p>James Fields, 20, of Maumee, Ohio, allegedly killed Heather Heyer, aged 32, and injured 19 others when he rammed his car into a group of protesters on Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia.</p> <p>Mainstream media is claiming Fields is a neo-Nazi and has conveniently produced photographs showing Fields standing with Vanguard America and carrying a shield bearing the group’s insignia.</p> </q>
<p>Another right-leaning web site, Freedom Daily, didn’t mention Fields at all, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170814134328/http://freedomdaily.com/truth-terrorist-drove-charlottesville-riot-crowd-revealed-who-was-supposed-to-die/" type="external">blaming</a> the attack instead on an “Antifa terrorist” involved in a left-wing “false flag” conspiracy:</p>
<q> <p>Although it was originally reported that the driver of the car was a far right sympathizer it’s now been confirmed that it was indeed a Democrat Party member and Antifa terrorist drove his car into free speech advocates in Charlottesville Virginia this morning.</p> <p>It is common for revolutionary groups such as Antifa to use methods like this to implicate their enemies in order to evoke violence and start a civil war, which is what they have been working towards since Donald Trump won the presidency in November of 2016.</p> </q>
<p>Neither site has a leg to stand on. YourNewsWire provided no evidence that Fields was a “left-wing operative.” Freedom Daily joined <a href="http://archive.fo/cpmEn" type="external">Gateway Pundit</a>, Alt Right Real News, <a href="http://gotnews.com/update-charlottesville-driver-who-struck-crowd-in-custody-stay-tuned/" type="external">GotNews.com</a>, and other reliably unreliable sources in regurgitating misinformation put out by Internet “sleuths” who blithely <a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/08/report-driver-virginia-car-attack-anti-trump-protester-joel-vangheluwe/" type="external">fingered</a> an innocent teenager for the crime. These sites accused Joel Vangheluwe (who turned out to be the son of a former owner of the attack vehicle) of being the Charlottesville killer:</p>
<a href="https://us-east-1.tchyn.io/snopes-production/uploads/2017/08/alt-right-real-news-1.jpg" type="external" />
<p>Vangheluwe, who is from Macomb County, Michigan, has been the target of death threats since these web sites named him, according to local news <a href="http://www.macombdaily.com/general-news/20170813/macomb-county-man-falsely-accused-in-charlottesville-car-attack" type="external">reports</a>:</p>

<p>A group of anti-fascists attacked and stabbed a man outside his home in Vermont for not condemning a local white nationalist.</p>
<p>On 16 August 2017, the right-wing web site BigLeaguePolitics.com reported that a Vermont man was attacked by an “antifa mob” — a description the alleged victim said did not come from him.</p>
<p>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 “just kinda hung back,” but he disputed the story’s premise blaming anti-fascist groups:</p>
<q> <p>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.</p> </q>
<p>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:</p>
<q> <p>This is social justice apparently. This is what i get for sticking up for someone. Cowards.</p> </q>
<a href="https://us-east-1.tchyn.io/snopes-production/uploads/2017/08/Wormer1.jpg" type="external" />
<p>Wormer’s attackers have not been identified. He said that even though he was called a “Nazi” and a “fascist”, 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 “trying to figure out what happened [and] who’s responsible, and have been very very supportive”.</p>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/local/2017/08/15/vermonter-who-carried-torch-charlottesville-makes-no-apology/571214001/" type="external">story</a> 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.</p>
<p>Roy described himself as a white nationalist and supporter of President Donald Trump to the Free Press. He also <a href="http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/2017/08/15/south-burlington-uno-worker-suspended-over-joining-charlottesville-rally/570201001/" type="external">said:</a></p>
<q> <p>Obviously I would advocate for racial separation and racial nationalism or repatriation or even a return to — our country was a white country up until the 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act.</p> </q>
<p>That <a href="https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/STATUTE-79/pdf/STATUTE-79-Pg911.pdf" type="external">legislation,</a> 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 “specialized skills.”.</p>
<p>According to Wormer, he was “completely shocked” to see Roy in a Vice News <a href="https://news.vice.com/story/vice-news-tonight-full-episode-charlottesville-race-and-terror" type="external">report</a> 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.</p>
<q> <p>Taking away somebody’s job and livelihood — I mean, that’s just adding fuel to the fire. I don’t think any good is going to come of this on anybody’s side.</p> </q>
<p>He said that he was attacked shortly after he made a separate comment about Roy on Facebook, which read:</p>
<q> <p>I believe he’s 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’s a lot to be said for that. I respect him for that, and I won’t stand with those people who are trying to have Ryan’s child taken away or have him fired. I can’t, 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’t 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’t agree with his actions but he has stuck up for me and other marginalized people when nobody else would. That is what family does.</p> </q>
<p>Wormer said besides the attack on him, his roommate and his roommate’s mother also received death threats, including “a threatening call”. Wormer also told us that Roy contacted him after the attack:</p>
<q> <p>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.</p> </q>
<p>Police in Essex Junction, where Wormer lives, told us they have “nothing currently to report” on the matter. But Wormer said he would press charges if the people responsible were caught.</p>
<p>“I don’t want anyone else to get hurt,” he said.</p>

<q> <p>I believe he’s 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’s a lot to be said for that. I respect him for that, and I won’t stand with those people who are trying to have Ryan’s child taken away or have him fired. I can’t, 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’t 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’t agree with his actions but he has stuck up for me and other marginalized people when nobody else would. That is what family does.</p> </q>
<p>Wormer said besides the attack on him, his roommate and his roommate’s mother also received death threats, including “a threatening call”. Wormer also told us that Roy contacted him after the attack:</p>
<q> <p>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.</p> </q>
<p>Police in Essex Junction, where Wormer lives, told us they have “nothing currently to report” on the matter. But Wormer said he would press charges if the people responsible were caught.</p>
<p>“I don’t want anyone else to get hurt,” he said.</p>

<p>Members of a Houston mosque barricaded themselves inside and refused to help people evacuating Hurricane Harvey.</p>
<p>On 31 August 2017, repeat offender TheLastLineOfDefense.com published a “ <a href="http://thelastlineofdefense.org/breaking-texas-mosque-refuses-to-help-refugees-allah-forbids-helping-infidels/" type="external">report</a>” on the “Ramashan Mosque” in Houston, which according to them, refused to help people seeking relief from the flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey:</p>
<q> <p>The building can easily hold over 500 people, much more than the 27 currently inside. But the imam of the mosque, Aswat Turads, says that they absolutely cannot accept any non-Muslim people because it’s against their religion.</p> <p>“The Quran is very clear,” Turads told local news radio station WXTX, “we are forbidden from helping infidels, no matter how much we want to.

<p>In October 2017, Colin Kaepernick told a CBS reporter he would stand for the national atnthem if he were signed by an NFL team.</p>
<p>In October 2017, a rumor spread that former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick — who National Football League teams have refused to sign since his 2016 silent protest during the national anthem — had said he would be willing to stand during the national anthem if he was signed by a team.</p>
<p>Kaepernick was the first NFL player to sit, and then kneel, during the anthem, in protest against police brutality and racial injustice.</p>
<p>The Daily Wire web site <a href="http://archive.is/hgujy" type="external">wrote</a>:</p>
<q> <p>According to a breaking news report from the Associated Press, former San Francisco 49ers second string quarterback Colin Kaepernick now says that he’ll stand during the national anthem if an NFL team suddenly decides to give him a job:</p> </q>
<q> <p>BREAKING: Quarterback Colin Kaepernick tells CBS he’ll stand during national anthem if given chance to play football in NFL again.</p> </q>
<q> <p>According to CBS News, which sat down with the out-of-work NFLer for “several hours,” Kaepernick is actively looking for work, and is willing to abdicate his year-long national anthem protest, if only an NFL team would deign to allow him to warm their bench.</p> </q>
<p>The sports web site <a href="http://archive.is/6ci2X" type="external">Bleacher Report</a> similarly reported:</p>
<q> <p>Free-agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who remains unsigned after sitting or kneeling during the national anthem throughout the 2016 season, said he plans to stand if signed by an NFL team. Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports revealed Kaepernick’s intentions Sunday.</p> </q>
<p>These reports (and others) were ultimately based on claims made by CBS reporter Jason La Canfora, who has since resiled from these claims. The Daily Wire’s story has been updated to reflect that, and the Associated Press has deleted its tweet. However, as of press time, the Daily Wire’s article retained its original, inaccurate headline “QB Colin Kaepernick Now Says He’ll Stand for the National Anthem If He’s Signed to a Team.” As of press time, the Bleacher Report has not yet updated its story.</p>
<p>On 7 October 2017, CBS reporter Jason La Canfora appeared on the show NFL Today and summarized a conversation he had had with Kaepernick. During that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c75Sj1_A6I" type="external">segment</a>, La Canfora described the player’s determination to return to an NFL team, and claimed:</p>
<q> <p>He’s not planning on kneeling, he’s going to donate all his jersey sales, and he’s planning on standing for the anthem, if given the opportunity.</p> </q>
<p>However, a day later Colin Kaepernick appeared to allude to the inaccuracy of that account, in this tweet:</p>
<q> <p>A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.</p> </q>
<p>Kaepernick’s girlfriend, radio presenter Nessa Diab, directly refuted La Canfora’s claims:</p>
<q> <p>The reports that Colin will stand for the anthem are completely false! He has never discussed this with anyone. <a href="https://t.co/tWusUBJMeF" type="external">pic.twitter.com/tWusUBJMeF</a></p> </q>
<p>NFL Today deleted a video of La Canfora’s claims from its Twitter account, and La Canfora himself posted a series of tweets clarifying that he had not, in fact, discussed the possibility of standing for the national anthem in his conversation with Kaepernick.</p>
<q> <p>Wanted to clarify one thing regarding <a href="https://twitter.com/Kaepernick7?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" type="external">@Kaepernick7</a>. When I was asked about his whether or not he would sit or stand for anthem …</p> </q>
<q> <p>Standing for Anthem wasn’t something that I spoke to Colin about sat. I relayed what had been reported about him standing in the future…</p> </q>
<q> <p>Reports about <a href="https://twitter.com/Kaepernick7?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" type="external">@Kaepernick7</a> standing for anthem had not been refuted. However, I cant say if they are true or not. Colin and I didn’t discuss</p> </q>
<q> <p>Colin would have to address any future demonstrations. I didn’t ask him if he would sit or stand. Our chat primarily about his will to play</p> </q>
<q> <p>I know <a href="https://twitter.com/Kaepernick7?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" type="external">@Kaepernick7</a> is fully committed to playing football and helping those in need. What he would do during the Anthem I do not know</p> </q>
<p>It was not the first time that a news organization reported Kaepernick’s purported willingness to stand during the anthem. In March 2017, Adam Schefter wrote an <a href="http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18805744/colin-kaepernick-stand-national-anthem-next-season" type="external">article</a> headlined “Colin Kaepernick to stand during national anthem next season,” in which he cited anonymous sources:</p>
<q> <p>Quarterback <a href="http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/14001/colin-kaepernick" type="external">Colin Kaepernick</a> will stand during the national anthem next season, sources told ESPN on Thursday.</p> <p>Kaepernick no longer wants his method of protest to detract from the positive change he believes has been created, sources told ESPN. He also said the amount of national discussion on social inequality — as well as support from other athletes nationwide, including NFL and NBA players — affirmed the message he was trying to deliver.</p> </q>
<p>Schefter did not quote Kaepernick himself in the article or offer verifiable proof. We could not find any evidence to corroborate Schefter’s claim.</p>

<p>Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that “Trump could be the greatest president in history.”</p>
<p>In a 14 December 2016 interview with CNN’s Don Lemon, Robert Kennedy, Jr. said that “I think Trump can be any kind of president he wants. I think he could be the greatest president in history if he wanted to.”</p>
<p>Kennedy, who spoke these words prior to Donald Trump's taking office, was speaking in general terms about his hope that Trump would become a great president, seeing optimism in the fact that Trump appeared at the time to be unbound by ideology.</p>
<p>On 14 December 2016, President John F. Kennedy’s nephew, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, <a href="https://archive.org/details/CNNW_20161215_030000_CNN_Tonight_With_Don_Lemon/start/0/end/60" type="external">appeared</a> on CNN Tonight with Don Lemon to discuss the appointment of former ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State (a move Kennedy, an environmental activist, was strongly opposed to).</p>
<p>In an earlier segment on that night’s show, Lemon and his guests had drawn comparisons between the Trumps and the Kennedys, referencing <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2016/12/13/after-talking-with-trump-bill-gates-likens-president-elect-to-jfk.html" type="external">remarks</a> made by former Microsoft head Bill Gates a day earlier, with Lemon’s <a href="https://archive.org/details/CNNW_20161215_030000_CNN_Tonight_With_Don_Lemon/start/3360/end/3420" type="external">asking</a> Kennedy Jr. how he felt about this comparison:</p>
<q> <p>We’ve discussed this on this show during the primary season, but Bill Gates has said today that Trump could be a new JFK. Some people look how close the Trump family is and how connected the children are to the family business and any they could be like the Kennedys. […] How do you feel about that?</p> </q>
<p>Kennedy’s answer, essentially, was not that Donald Trump had already done and achieved things that would fairly rank him as the “greatest President in history,” but that the comparison of Trump to the Kennedy family could turn out to be fair, because Donald Trump “is less bound by ideology than any president probably that we’ve had this century.” His statement was one of optimism for the future and was not rooted in anything Donald Trump (who had yet to assume office) had actually done as President:</p>
<q> <p>I think Trump, you know, because he doesn’t have obligations, he doesn’t owe anything to anybody, if he’s — I think if he cares about history and he understands that history is his principal audience, that he could be an extraordinary president. […] He said to Leonardo DiCaprio the other day that he wanted to be the next Teddy Roosevelt and he can easily do that he could — but I think it’s important to start by surrounding yourself with advisers who share that idealism and not people who are just working for the oil industry.</p> <p>I think he can be any kind of president he wants. I think he could be the greatest president in history if he wanted to.</p> </q>
<p>Since that exchange, numerous pro-Trump websites have run with Kennedy’s statement that “I think [Trump] could be the greatest president in history” without offering the any of the context that led to up to it. Numerous YouTube <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Robert+F.+Kennedy+Jr.+Drops+Bombshell%3A+%22Trump+Could+Be+Greatest+President+In+History!%22&oq=Robert+F.+Kennedy+Jr.+Drops+Bombshell%3A+%22Trump+Could+Be+Greatest+President+In+History!%22&aqs=chrome..69i57.304j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8" type="external">videos</a> excerpt this brief segment, posted under the title “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Drops Bombshell: ‘Trump Could Be Greatest President In History!'”</p>
<p>Other sites have added their own slanted <a href="http://archive.is/j1NgH" type="external">commentary</a> to Kennedy’s remark, frequently suggesting the conversation happened more recently. In a May 2017 post frequently reshared on Facebook, ConservativeFighters.com gleefully and rhetorically asked: “Can you hear the sobs coming from liberal protesters when a left-wing icon like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. finally admits the truth?”</p>
<p>While Kennedy is certainly a Democrat, he has expressed willingness to work with Trump in the past, especially during the timeframe when the Don Lemon interview took place. Trump allegedly <a type="internal">offered</a> Kennedy (though Trump later disputed this) the chance to head a controversial commission on “vaccine safety” that had been widely panned by the medical community back in January 2017.</p>
<p>However, because Kennedy’s words, in full context, were not offered as complimentary of Trump’s actions as a president (which he wasn’t at that point) but as a general hopefulness for the future, we rate this claim as a mixture.</p>

<p>Kennedy’s answer, essentially, was not that Donald Trump had already done and achieved things that would fairly rank him as the “greatest President in history,” but that the comparison of Trump to the Kennedy family could turn out to be fair, because Donald Trump “is less bound by ideology than any president probably that we’ve had this century.” His statement was one of optimism for the future and was not rooted in anything Donald Trump (who had yet to assume office) had actually done as President:</p>
<q> <p>I think Trump, you know, because he doesn’t have obligations, he doesn’t owe anything to anybody, if he’s — I think if he cares about history and he understands that history is his principal audience, that he could be an extraordinary president. […] He said to Leonardo DiCaprio the other day that he wanted to be the next Teddy Roosevelt and he can easily do that he could — but I think it’s important to start by surrounding yourself with advisers who share that idealism and not people who are just working for the oil industry.</p> <p>I think he can be any kind of president he wants. I think he could be the greatest president in history if he wanted to.</p> </q>
<p>Since that exchange, numerous pro-Trump websites have run with Kennedy’s statement that “I think [Trump] could be the greatest president in history” without offering the any of the context that led to up to it. Numerous YouTube <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Robert+F.+Kennedy+Jr.+Drops+Bombshell%3A+%22Trump+Could+Be+Greatest+President+In+History!%22&oq=Robert+F.+Kennedy+Jr.+Drops+Bombshell%3A+%22Trump+Could+Be+Greatest+President+In+History!%22&aqs=chrome..69i57.304j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8" type="external">videos</a> excerpt this brief segment, posted under the title “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Drops Bombshell: ‘Trump Could Be Greatest President In History!'”</p>
<p>Other sites have added their own slanted <a href="http://archive.is/j1NgH" type="external">commentary</a> to Kennedy’s remark, frequently suggesting the conversation happened more recently. In a May 2017 post frequently reshared on Facebook, ConservativeFighters.com gleefully and rhetorically asked: “Can you hear the sobs coming from liberal protesters when a left-wing icon like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. finally admits the truth?”</p>
<p>While Kennedy is certainly a Democrat, he has expressed willingness to work with Trump in the past, especially during the timeframe when the Don Lemon interview took place. Trump allegedly <a type="internal">offered</a> Kennedy (though Trump later disputed this) the chance to head a controversial commission on “vaccine safety” that had been widely panned by the medical community back in January 2017.</p>
<p>However, because Kennedy’s words, in full context, were not offered as complimentary of Trump’s actions as a president (which he wasn’t at that point) but as a general hopefulness for the future, we rate this claim as a mixture.</p>

<p>After only nine months in office, President Trump and family had already spent $147 million on personal travel, amounting to one-and-a-half times as much as President Obama and family spent in the eight years of the latter's presidency.</p>
<p>Based on the limited information available as of October 2017, the Trump family's monthly travel expenditures during the early part of his administration exceeded the monthly spending averages of President Obama and family.</p>
<p>The stated total of $147 million for President Trump and family's travel expenditures over nine months was vastly exaggerated and unsupported by actual data.</p>
<p>The expenses incurred by United States presidents and their families on vacation trips and other travel away from the White House are an evergreen topic of partisan debate, given that much of those, including the requisite round-the-clock Secret Service protection and use of military aircraft for travel, are footed by the federal government. (By longstanding convention, even presidential vacation travel is <a href="https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RS21835.pdf" type="external">categorized</a> as “official business” for accounting purposes, since it is assumed, the Congressional Research Service tells us, that the president is always on duty.)</p>
<p>In that vein, an Internet meme loosed on social media nine months into Donald Trump’s presidency made the claim that taxpayer expenditures on vacations, golf, and personal security for the president, First Lady Melania Trump, and their youngest son Barron had thus far averaged more than $16 million per month, as compared to an average of about $1 million per month for travel by President Obama and immediate family during Obama’s entire eight years in office.</p>
<p>This is the text:</p>
<q> <a href="https://us-east-1.tchyn.io/snopes-production/uploads/2017/10/taxpayer-dollars.jpg" type="external" /> <p>As of October 14, 2017</p> <p>Taxpayer dollars spend on vacations, golf and personal security while not at the White house for Barack, Michelle, Malia and Sasha</p> <p>$98,000,000.00 over 8 years or $1,020,833.33 per month</p> <p>Taxpayer dollars spend on vacations, golf and personal security while not at the White house for Donald, Melania and Barron</p> <p>$147,000,000.00 over 9 months or $16,333,333.33 per month</p> <p>Not a peep from Conservatives.</p> </q>
<p>If accurate, the comparison is all the more striking in that Trump was an inveterate critic of President Obama’s travel and vacation expenses for years:</p>
<q> <p>The Obama’s Spain vacation cost taxpayers over $476K <a href="http://t.co/W6kIpd5x" type="external">http://t.co/W6kIpd5x</a> They love to spend money.</p> </q>
<p>“I would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done,” Trump <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/245884-trump-i-would-rarely-leave-the-white-house" type="external">told</a> The Hill in 2015. “I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off.” While campaigning for the presidency in 2016, Trump <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/10/politics/trump-golf-obama/index.html" type="external">said</a> to the American people: “I’m going to be working for you. I’m not going to have time to go play golf.”</p>
<p>In point of fact, according to a <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2017/07/19/donald-trump-visits-his-properties-while-office/490212001/" type="external">report</a> in USA Today, Trump only spent five of his first 26 weekends as president holed up exclusively in the White House. The rest entailed trips to his nearby golf clubs. In early August 2017, CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller toted up how many <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-do-trumps-days-away-from-the-white-house-compare-to-his-predecessors/" type="external">days</a> Trump had spent away from the White House versus the number of days Obama spent offsite and found that Trump’s total, at all or part of 41 days away from Washington, was nearly twice Obama’s, at all or part of 21 days away (although George W. Bush had them both beat at 61 days away).</p>
<p>Although it’s too soon as of October 2017, just nine months into his presidency, to render even a semi-complete portrait of the Trump family’s travel expenses (such details are rarely released except in response to Freedom of Information Act inquiries, and sometimes not even then), preliminary indications are that Trump’s past criticisms of Obama will come back to haunt him.</p>
<p>Looking at the information we do have, the Obama family’s travel expenses during the entire eight years of his presidency <a href="https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/in-the-news/judicial-watch-total-obama-travel-costs-far-106-million/" type="external">totaled</a> approximately $106 million, according to the most recent FOIA numbers released by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, who kept close tabs on Obama’s spending. The Obamas’ travel expenses therefore averaged about $1.1 million per month over the course of his term.</p>
<p>Turning to Trump, the alleged $147 million already spent on travel by the president and his family during his first nine months in office wildly exceeds anything supported by actual data. That having been said, it does appear, based on the information available, that Trump and family have indeed likely outstripped the Obamas in terms of monthly travel costs, albeit by a smaller margin than claimed.</p>
<p>Judicial Watch, who have vowed to monitor Trump’s travel expenses as closely as they did Obama’s (FOIA requests are already on <a href="https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-sues-pentagon-secret-service-records-costs-presidential-vip-travel/" type="external">file</a>), reported in July 2017 that two months into Trump’s presidency taxpayers were already on the <a href="https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-trump-administration-air-travel-costs-3-58-million/" type="external">hook</a> for $3.58 million in charges for air travel alone (i.e., excluding auxiliary costs such as Secret Service housing, local transporation, police protection, etc.) by the president, first lady, and vice president during February and March. That’s roughly $1.8 million per month, $700,000 more than the Obamas’ monthly average, which included the auxiliary costs we don’t yet have for Trump.</p>
<p>Focusing just on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago trips, of which there were <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/08/21/secret-service-cant-pay-agents-because-trumps-frequent-travel-large-family/529075001/" type="external">seven</a> between Inauguration Day and mid-August 2017, an attempt at a more comprehensive <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/trump-familys-elaborate-lifestyle-a-logistical-nightmare--at-taxpayer-expense/2017/02/16/763cce8e-f2ce-11e6-a9b0-ecee7ce475fc_story.html" type="external">estimate</a> by the progressive watchdog group Center for American Progress Action Fund settled on a cost of roughly $3 million per trip — a total of $21 million for all of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago stays through August, amounting to $2.6 million per month). The reliability of that estimate has been rightly called into <a href="http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2017/apr/18/center-american-progress-action-fund/how-much-do-donald-trumps-trips-mar-lago-cost/" type="external">question</a>, given that it was generalized from a Government Accountability Office <a href="http://www.gao.gov/assets/690/680400.pdf" type="external">report</a> written well before Trump took office, but it is indicative of how high the Trump family’s travel costs — when they are updated to include actual Secret Service expenses and incidentals might well go.</p>
<p>For that matter, obligatory Secret Service protection extends to all of Trump’s children, including his two adult sons, whose security costs while traveling are <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/secret-service-costs-for-trump-family-protection-continue-to-mount/" type="external">borne</a> by American taxpayers even though they don’t work for the administration, instead running their father’s international business holdings. According to CBS News, lodging and transportation costs for federal agents protecting Eric and Donald Trump Jr. on their travels had already surpassed $190,000 by the end of President Trump’s third month in office.</p>
<p>Also indicative is a USA Today report that in addition to his Mar-a-Lago residencies, as of 21 August Trump had racked up five visits to his private golf club in New Jersey. At these two locations, the Secret Service spent $60,000 on rent for the golf carts needed to protect the president. If that pattern continues, American taxpayers can expect to be dinged for as much as $103,000 per year in golf cart rentals alone.</p>
<p>Although there isn’t yet enough information to work up a detailed comparison of the Trump family’s travel expenses versus the Obama family’s, it seems a near certainty, barring a dramatic change in lifestyle, that the Trumps’ expenses will continue to outpace the Obamas’ by a healthy margin, although nowhere approaching the $15 million-a-month disparity alleged by Internet sources.</p>

<p>A photograph shows President Obama and George Soros laughing together.</p>
<p>A photograph purportedly showing former President Barack Obama being chummy with George Soros is frequently shared on social media by individuals peddling various (and unfounded) conspiracy theories about the billionaire investor. For example, an image was <a href="https://archive.is/OGimq" type="external">posted</a> on Twitter in August 2017 by political commentator Dinesh D’Souza along with a message labeling Soros a Nazi collaborator:</p>
<a href="https://us-east-1.tchyn.io/snopes-production/uploads/2017/08/obama-and-soros.jpg" type="external" />
<p>The original <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/4300504/Ted-Kennedy-collapses-at-Barack-Obama-inauguration-lunch.html" type="external">photograph</a> was taken at a <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/29/us/politics/29dems.html" type="external">campaign</a> rally on 28 January 2008 at American University and showed then-candidate Barack Obama with Senator Ted Kennedy. At some point, Soros’s head was superimposed over Kennedy’s to make it appear as if Obama was conspiring with the billionaire, who has become a <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/how-did-george-soros-become-the-favorite-boogeyman-of-the-right-2017-5" type="external">boogeyman</a> to some segments of the American right wing.</p>
<p>Here’s the genuine photograph (left) and the doctored image (right):</p>
<a href="https://us-east-1.tchyn.io/snopes-production/uploads/2017/08/obama-and-sorosand-kennedy.jpg" type="external" />
<p>The photograph was poorly digitally manipulated, and does not actually show Obama with Soros. The first clue is the lighting: the shadows on Obama’s face (for example, beneath his earlobe) do not match the shadows on Soros’s face. Soros, too, is slightly out of focus, whereas Obama is in perfect focus. You can even see a bit of Kennedy’s hair where Soros’s head was superimposed over it, which D’Souza conveniently cropped out of the image in his tweet.</p>
<p>As for the claim that Soros was a “Nazi collaborator”, we investigated that rumor in November 2016 and found it to be <a type="internal">false</a>.</p>

<p>The hotel security guard wounded in the Las Vegas mass shooting has been arrested as an accomplice to that event.</p>
<p>Fake news web sites capitalized on the tragedy of the 1 October 2017 mass shooting event in Las Vegas by proffering various unfounded conspiracy theories as “news,” particularly those positing that a “second shooter” took part in the carnage in additional to the one who rained bullets onto a concert crowd from a room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel.</p>
<p>In particular, fake news sites focused on Jesus Campos, the Mandalay Bay security guard who reportedly went to investigate a door alarm on the 32nd floor and was wounded in the leg when the shooter fired an estimated 200 bullets through his hotel room door.

"<p>The hotel security guard wounded in the Las Vegas mass shooting has been arrested as an accomplice to that event.</p>
<p>Fake news web sites capitalized on the tragedy of the 1 October 2017 mass shooting event in Las Vegas by proffering various unfounded conspiracy theories as “news,” particularly those positing that a “second shooter” took part in the carnage in additional to the one who rained bullets onto a concert crowd from a room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel.</p>
<p>In particular, fake news sites focused on Jesus Campos, the Mandalay Bay security guard who reportedly went to investigate a door alarm on the 32nd floor and was wounded in the leg when the shooter fired an estimated 200 bullets through his hotel room door. Those sites initially reported (without any evidence) that Campos was not an innocent victim wounded in the course of his duties, but was actually suspected of being an <a type="internal">accomplice</a> in the mass shooting.</p>

<p>A photograph shows a black police officer protecting participants in a white supremacist protest in Charlottesville.</p>
<p>On 12 August 2017, just after the occurrence of violent and <a type="internal">tragic</a> events at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, left multiple people dead, an image was widely circulated via social media seemingly showing a black police officer calmly standing guard to protect a group of racist protesters carrying Confederate flags, wearing Ku Klux Klan garb, and issuing Nazi salutes:</p>
<p>Although this photograph was genuine, it was not — as was widely assumed (or stated) in social media posts — a picture snapped at the 12 August 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville. The image had been posted online well over a month earlier, as shown in this 9 July 2017 tweet from Tucson, Arizona, police chief Chris Magnus:</p>
<q> <p>Photo says it all. Police around nation called upon w/regularity to protect 1st Amend rights no matter how heinous they may find the speech. <a href="https://t.co/3keTS7bdX2" type="external">pic.twitter.com/3keTS7bdX2</a></p> </q>
<p>It was also posted on Facebook at that time by Kimberly Payne Hawk, who described the pictured policeman as “Charlottesville Police Officer Nash”:</p>
<p>A few days later, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FrankSomervilleKTVU/posts/1551137301616258:0" type="external">Frank Somerville</a> of Oakland television station KTVU wrote of the latter posting that:</p>
<q> <p>Kimberly’s post went viral.</p> <p>But there were also a number of really nasty comments.</p> <p>And Kimberly later posted this in response:</p> <p>“On Monday I saw a photo from the KKK rally that moved me and I posted it. Now it has gone viral and mean, angry people are coming out of the woodwork.</p> <p>I do not care about the rude comments towards me but I am becoming quite irritated at the attacks on our local police officer.</p> <p>He is getting attacked for being an African American police officer who was protecting the free speech rights of the klan and I am getting accused of being a supporter of racism because my sister is a police officer.</p> <p>It must be a horrible way to live to be so defensive and angry all the time.</p> <p>I hope these people can find some happiness and peace at some point in their lives.”</p> <p>I’m dumbfounded that anyone could criticize this officer and what he’s doing.</p> <p>Thank you Officer Nash for your service.</p> <p>And thank you Kimberly Payne Hawk for posting this.</p> </q>
<p>The image originated with a Ku Klux Klan <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/07/08/kkk-holds-rally-virginia-and-met-protesters/462146001/" type="external">rally</a> held in downtown Charlottesville on 8 July 2017:</p>
<p>The photograph was snapped by during that protest by Jill Mumie, one of several shots she captured on her iPhone:</p>
<q> <p>That afternoon, she positioned herself near an area that had been cordoned off “in anticipation of what might unfold.” She purposefully stayed in front of the officer, waiting for what she felt was the right moment that captured the “bizarre” scene that was unfolding.</p> <p>Once the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan arrived, she recalled “a huge surge of people behind me.” And so with her iPhone, Mumie tried a few different shots. In one outtake, a girl stands beside the officer, snapping a picture of the commotion as the officer stares elsewhere. The angle of his chin, the tilt of his head, something felt off. In another outtake, the attention is focused on a man behind the officer who displays a middle finger in Mumie’s direction.</p> </q>
<p>The officer pictured in the image was a Charlottesville High School school resource officer named Darius Nash, who said, “I don’t feel like I’m a hero for it. I swore to protect my city and that’s what I was there to do. I don’t think it makes me a hero, just doing what I believe in.”</p>

<p>President Trump has issued an order banning the 'Saturday Night Live' television show.</p>
<p>In April 2017, the St. George Gazette web site published an <a href="http://archive.is/i9Uem/image" type="external">article</a> positing that President Trump had signed an executive order forcing NBC’s popular and long-running Saturday Night Live sketch comedy TV program off the air:</p>
<q> <p>Today President Donald Trump made what could very well prove to be the most controversial move of his presidency by signing Executive Order 14838, which cancels the television show Saturday Night Live, or SNL. Under the new order, it is now illegal for any private or federally funded agency to air or show footage of the popular television show in any format. Any company or individual who violates this order can now face fines of up to $250,000 and five years in federal prison.</p> <p>During the press conference today, Trump explained that his decision was based on a personal belief that the show is “divisive” and “contrary to America’s deepest held values.”</p> <p>“Saturday Night Live is the definition of fake news and that is why it is now gone forever,” Trump told reporters. “It mocks the very beliefs that keep this great country running smoothly. I’ve never found the show to be humorous and I don’t know how it stayed on the air as long as it did, but I made sure to put an end to that today. I know some actions that I take are questioned by those who don’t want or understand freedom; these are people who hate America, but I know my true supporters are with me on this decision to cancel SNL, just like all my other brilliant ideas.”</p> <p>Trump’s signing of Executive Order 14838 comes after more than two seasons of Saturday Night Live attacking the current President.</p> </q>
<p>There was no truth to this story (the premise of which would clearly constitute a violation of the First Amendment right to free speech). This item originated with the St. George Gazette, one of many fake news web sites which masquerade as the online arms of (non-existent) newspapers.</p>

<p>A "Muslim migrant" beats up a boy on crutches in a video posted to a site in the Netherlands.</p>
<p>On 29 November 2017, United States President Donald Trump retweeted three videos from <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/trump-retweets-anti-muslim-messages-deputy-leader-british-far-right-party-725495" type="external">Jayden Fransen</a>, the deputy leader of the far-right anti-Islam organization Britain First who was found <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/jayda-fransen-guilty-britain-first-deputy-leader-convicted-court-muslim-woman-hijab-a7395711.html" type="external">guilty</a> of religiously aggravated harassment in November 2016. As this group has a penchant for sharing <a type="internal">out-of-context</a>, <a type="internal">misleading</a>, and <a type="internal">false</a> <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/britain-first-plagiarise-satirical-post-slamming-jeremy-corbyn_uk_59523841e4b05c37bb793afe" type="external">information</a>, it wasn’t surprising that at least one of these videos, which purportedly shows violent acts committed by Muslims, had a misleading caption :</p>
<a href="https://us-east-1.tchyn.io/snopes-production/uploads/2017/11/trump-tweets-antimuslim-video.jpg" type="external" />
<p>Although the video is frequently accompanied by the caption “Muslim migrant beats up Dutch boy on crutches,” there is no evidence to support this assertion, which in fact came, like so many other unfortunate assumptions, from its comment section.</p>
<p>This video was first posted to the web site <a href="http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/7132141/e9bfd7a3/boosmakertje_du_jour.html" type="external">Dumpert.nl</a>, a popular video portal in the Netherlands, in May 2017. Although the original posting largely focuses on the act of hitting a person on crutches, and it was not shared with any claims about the attacker’s religion, some people on the comment section naturally — and baselessly — assumed that the perpetrator was Muslim. As the video was <a href="https://archive.is/eqpDN" type="external">reposted</a> to other web sites, the unfounded claim that the attacker was a Muslim migrant followed it.</p>
<p>Shortly after this video was posted to Dumpert.nl, Dutch police officers were able to locate the attacker and arrest him. A news <a href="https://www.telegraaf.nl/nieuws/165095/aanhoudingen-dankzij-filmpje-dumpert" type="external">report</a> from the Telegraaf identified him as a 16-year-old boy from Monnickendam. The report made no mention of the boy’s religion.</p>
<p>Further, when this months-old video was brought back into the spotlight in November 2017 thanks to a retweet from President Trump, Dumpert.nl posted a short <a href="http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/7298311/cdec9e44/ook_donald_kijkt_dumpert_filmpjes_in_het_schijthuis.html" type="external">article</a> that mocked Trump for sharing the video:</p>
<q> <p>(By the way, <a href="http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/7132141/e9bfd7a3/boosmakertje_du_jour.html" type="external">fake news</a>! Dader was geen moslim en geen immigrant. Maar leuk geprobeerd Trumpie)</p> <p>(By the way, <a href="http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/7132141/e9bfd7a3/boosmakertje_du_jour.html" type="external">fake news</a>! Perpetrator was not a Muslim and not an immigrant, but nice try Trumpie)</p> </q>
<p><a href="https://www.geenstijl.nl/5139660/lol-real-donald-trump-retweet-dumpertvideo/" type="external">Geenstijl</a>, the web site that operates Dumpert, also stated that the attacker in the video was not a Muslim:</p>
<q> <p>Moreover, the perpetrator was not a Muslim, let alone a migrant, but simply a Dutchman.</p> </q>
<p>The official Twitter account of the <a href="https://www.om.nl/algemeen/english/about-the-public/organisation-the/" type="external">Public Prosecution Service of North Holland</a> also disputed the claim that the attacker in this video was a Muslim migrant. In a message posted on 29 November 2017, they explained that the video showed a May 2017 quarrel between two minors. The attacker, who was born in the Netherlands, was placed in the <a href="https://www.halt.nl/en/halt-programme/background/" type="external">HALT</a> Program, an alternative settlement for young first time offenders:</p>
<q> <p>A video has been shared on twitter in which an argument between two underage boys can be seen. This incident took place in May of this year. The public prosecution service Noord-Holland has studied the file submitted by the police. (1/2)</p> </q>
<q> <p>The suspect, who was born and raised in the Netherlands, received a HALT settlement ( <a href="https://t.co/w62MNOFvug" type="external">https://t.co/w62MNOFvug</a>). This has been successfully completed. (2/2)</p> </q>
<p>The Netherlands Embassy in the United States also took to Twitter to tell to President Trump that “facts do matter” and that the attacker in the video was not a Muslim migrant:</p>
<q> <p>. <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" type="external">@realDonaldTrump</a> Facts do matter. The perpetrator of the violent act in this video was born and raised in the Netherlands. He received and completed his sentence under Dutch law.</p> </q>

<p>Mandalay Bay security guard Jesus Campos was an "accomplice" to Las Vegas Strip mass shooter Stephen Paddock.</p>
<p>On 5 October 2017, the disreputable web site GotNews.com — run by notorious Internet <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/05/26/charles-johnson-one-of-the-internets-most-infamous-trolls-has-finally-been-banned-from-twitter/?utm_term=.dc280bef826d" type="external">troll</a> Chuck C. Johnson — reported (with no evidence or citations) that the security guard being lauded as a <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/10/05/just-job-las-vegas-security-guard-jesus-campos-hailed-braving/" type="external">hero</a> for his role in helping to stop the massacre perpetrated by Las Vegas Strip shooter Stephen Paddock was, in fact, an accomplice in the shooting.</p>
<p>Stephen Paddock, 64, has been named as the lone gunman by law enforcement in the 1 October 2017 mass shooting, in which he fired on a music festival crowd of 22,000 with a modified automatic weapon from a suite in the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, killing 58 and wounding hundreds. High-ranking officials from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the law enforcement agency leading the investigation, have said that while they still don’t know if Paddock had any accomplices in planning the attack, they have on several occasions confirmed that per their investigation, he was the only shooter.</p>
<p>Large-scale tragedies like <a type="internal">mass shootings</a> and <a type="internal">terrorist attacks</a> have been unfortunate lures for conspiracy theorists and purveyors of false information in the Internet age. Disreputable web sites latch on to the chaotic aftermaths of such incidents to seduce audiences with “alternatives” to official investigations, claiming to harbor the “truth” that dishonest officials and the “mainstream media” are hiding from the public. For example, GotNews stories carry this fundraising plug:</p>
<q> <p>You won’t hear this stuff from the lying mainstream media. Keep the GotNews mission alive: donate at GotNews.com/donate or send tips to editor@gotnews.com. If you’d like to join our research team, contact editor@gotnews.com.</p> </q>
<p>GotNews didn’t provide in its story any evidence to support their claim that hotel security guard Jesus Campos was an accomplice, other than an anonymous “official” with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF). GotNews <a href="http://archive.is/yMXOj" type="external">reported</a>:</p>
<q> <p>The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives now believes Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock likely had help planning and executing the deadliest mass shooting in US history from none other than the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino security guard who was shot in the leg that night, a senior ATF official told GotNews.</p> <p>Jesus Campos has been praised for his apparent heroics on October 1st, as he supposedly rushed to Paddock’s suite, was shot in the upper thigh through the door, and continued to help get people to safety despite his wounds. However, a new report indicates the ATF now believes he was likely an accomplice of Paddock’s, and may have even been involved in the initial shooting as a second gunman from the other broken window in Paddock’s 32nd-floor room.</p> <p>According to an ATF official, these suspicions are corroborated by the extreme amount of gunpowder residue found on Campos’ hands. “They believe he killed Paddock, shot holes through the door and his own arm to produce physical evidence for his cover story, then went and lay next to the elevator,” a senior ATF official doing ballistic work for the shooting told GotNews.</p> </q>
<p>The ATF contacted GotNews to notify them the story was inaccurate; the story was then <a href="http://archive.is/yMXOj#selection-327.0-327.525" type="external">updated</a> with this disclaimer:</p>
<q> <p>The ATF has disputed GotNews’ source, saying “the information in the article is incorrect,” in the following article on a theory regarding the Las Vegas shooting. “Please know that the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is the lead of the investigation of the shooting in Las Vegas and ATF is assisting. This is an ongoing investigation where we continue to work with our law enforcement partners,” the ATF said. This article will continue to be updated with developments. If you have any tips, email editor@gotnews.com</p> </q>
<p>However, another disreputable web site, YourNewsWire.com, which <a href="http://archive.is/W0iO2" type="external">regurgitated</a> the GotNews story on 6 October 2017, did not include this crucial “update” to alert readers that the allegations in the story were disputed by the very agency cited.</p>
<p>We followed up with the ATF to ask whether any of their employees had been in contact with GotNews. The agency responded:</p>
<q> <p>We do not believe that any ATF officials spoke to GotNews or mentioned to anyone that Mr. Campos was a second shooter.</p> </q>
<p>We sent Johnson a detailed list of questions about the GotNews story, but Johnson only responded asking that we “please print” his claim to have a source with ATF.</p>
<p>We found no evidence to support stories that report Campos acted in any other way than heroically. Campos has been hailed as a hero by the police department for not only locating Paddock’s room, but braving a hail of gunfire in doing so.. Police said Campos provided them with a door key to the suite and stayed to help them evacuate other guests until officers ordered him to seek medical aid for a gunshot wound to the leg (there are no reports that Campos had a wound to his arm, as GotNews claims).</p>
<p>During a 4 October 2017 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nyfa-A15FeQ" type="external">press conference</a>, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said:</p>
<q> <p>But his [Campos’s] bravery was amazing because he remained with our officers, providing them the key pass to access the door, and actually continued to help them clear rooms until our officers demanded that he go seek medical attention.</p> </q>
<p>In another <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLIAuvpdRTc&feature=youtu.be" type="external">update</a> on 6 October 2017, LVMPD Undersheriff Kevin McMahill reiterated that Campos’s actions were nothing other than heroic:</p>
<q> <p>Most of you also now know the name of the Mandalay Bay security guard, who you’ve all named in the media, and I’ll just reaffirm to you that Jesus Campos is a true hero. I can tell you now just a little bit more that I know about what he did that particular day. We now know that he was dispatched to what they call a door alarm on the 32nd floor. He went up there to investigate the open door and as he was doing his job diligently, he came under fire by our suspect.</p> <p>As you know, he was struck in the leg. He turned around and retreated. He notified his dispatch, which was absolutely critical to us knowing the location, as well as advising the responding officers as they arrived on that 32nd floor. I can tell you that this was a remarkable effort by a brave and remarkable man. I want to say today that I don’t think we’ve done a good enough job recognizing him and his actions, and for that I apologize. I just want to take the moment and clear the record that he’s an absolute hero.</p> </q>
<p>This is not the first time Johnson has framed an innocent person (a heroic one, no less) in the aftermath of a deadly incident. Dallas attorney Andrew Sommerman is representing in a pending defamation suit the family of Joel Vangheluwe, who Johnson wrongly identified as the driver of the Dodge Charger that ran down a group of counter-demonstrators at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in mid-August. He said of Johnson:</p>
<q> <p>When one does not care about the facts or how it affects people, it damages lives and creates a further disaster than what was originally created.</p> </q>
<p>On 12 August 2017, GotNews “ <a href="http://archive.is/NystZ" type="external">retracted</a>” the article naming Vangheluwe as the driver of the car that rammed into the crowd, leaving 32-year-old Charlottesville resident Heather Heyer dead, allegedly because the police hadn’t yet named a suspect. Why GotNews backtracked in that case to defer to police but not in the case of Campos is unclear but accuracy doesn’t seem to have been the goal — <a href="http://archive.is/wLcsW" type="external">as of</a> 6 October 2017, the GotNews story still says “police have not identified the suspect,” even though James Alex Fields was not only publicly <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/12/us/charlottesville-protest-white-nationalist.html?_r=0" type="external">identified</a> but also charged with the crime the day the story was published.</p>
<p>Johnson, 28, has a long and dizzying history of scandal as a semi-successful Internet troll. He gained widespread notoriety when he attempted to out a woman who had anonymously written a <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/a-note-to-our-readers-20141205" type="external">disputed</a> column about being raped on campus for Rolling Stone, but then <a href="http://archive.is/T7b65" type="external">identified</a> the wrong woman. In 2015, he joined a short list of people <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/entertainment/the-short-list-of-users-banned-from-twitter/2016/07/21/00059c24-4f71-11e6-bf27-405106836f96_video.html?utm_term=.3ead815f8e3d" type="external">banned</a> by Twitter after a tweet asking supporters for funding to help “take out” civil rights activist DeRay McKession. Johnson is also behind the crowdfunding web site WeSearchr, where he has raised funds for supporters of the neo-Nazi web site <a href="http://archive.is/cVV93" type="external">Daily Stormer</a> and a movement of <a href="http://archive.is/BB2hg" type="external">white supremacists</a> who chartered (then abandoned) a ship in an effort to scuttle the efforts of aid organizations trying to rescue migrants making the deadly Mediterranean Sea crossing between North Africa and Europe.</p>
<p>During a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkOdPK0Qgv8&feature=youtu.be" type="external">press briefing</a> on 9 October 2017, Lombardo said investigators revised the shooting <a href="http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-vegas-shooting-20171009-story.html" type="external">timeline</a>, noting that Paddock shot Campos six minutes before he opened fire on the crowd. Lombardo acknowledged that Campos was shot at 9:59 p.m. Responding to AP reporter Ken Ritter’s question, Lombardo said:</p>
<q> <p>Yes, the timeline associated with the original shot and Mr. Campos has changed. Through investigation, as I have conveyed to you from the very beginning, in your zest for information and my zest to ensure the public safety and the calming of their minds, is some things are going to change. Now they are minute changes, OK. There’s not this all-encompassing answer associated with the information that we presented before, in other words it’s not completely inaccurate, but what we have learned is Mr. Campos was encountered by the suspect prior to his [Paddock’s] shooting to the outside world.</p> </q>

<p>What has happened to our country, that we will nominate a man for president who has bullied, bad-mouthed and intimidated the public for decades? What has happened to our moral values? What are we teaching our children and grandchildren?</p>
<p>How can the Republican Party accept this hateful, racist, sexual predator who has lied, cheated people and paid no taxes?</p>
<p>Donald Trump does not care about the Constitution and shows his ignorance about it every day. He is threatening people who do not support him, even within his own party.

<p>The Dallas Cowboys will go back to their previous stance on the national anthem Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, receiver Dez Bryant said.</p>
<p>The team will stand with their hands over their heart for the anthem. There will be no pre-anthem kneel for unity as they did last Monday against the Arizona Cardinals.</p>
<p>That show of solidarity was about joining the brethren across the league in responding to the expletive-filled attacks from President Donald Trump against the players who kneeled during the anthem in protest against racism and social injustice.</p>
<p>“We’re going to stand, we’re going to stand and going to put our hand over our heart and we’re going to do what we did before,” Bryant said. “You all know what that was, that was just a response to Trump and that’s all that that was.”</p> Today's top news by email

<p>The compromise of kneeling before the anthem and standing during it was one way of appeasing both sides, per Jones.</p>

<p>WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Officials are calling it animal cruelty like they've never seen before.</p>
<p>As Hurricane Irma’s outer bands inch closer to Florida, animal control officers said they are hustling to rescue abandoned animals.</p>

<p>And these aren't pets who are just being left inside, Director of Animal Care Diane Suave said.</p>
<p>“They are left in a yard, in a pen they cannot escape from or tethered to trees or poles,” she said.</p>
<p>Palm Beach County Animal Care reports animal control officers have rescued 49 dogs and two cats in the last 48 hours.</p>
<p>“Even a tiny bit of sand can hurt an animal when it’s traveling through 100-plus mph winds,” Sauve said.</p>
<p>Animal control officers were slowly pulled off the road at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.</p>
<p>Sauve said once winds reach a sustained 35 mph, no officers will be permitted to rescue animals.</p>
<p>“We are asking the public, if it is safe, consider sheltering any animals you see left outside,” she said.</p>
<p>Both Sauve and State Attorney Dave Aronberg said they promise to prosecute anyone who left their animals outside to fend for themselves during Hurricane Irma.</p>
<p>“This is a prime example of animal cruelty,” Aronberg said. “We will find you, and we will prosecute you.”</p>
<p>Sauve said officials will use every paper trail imaginable to track down animal cruelty offenders.</p>
<p>“It’s unconscionable,” she said. “We will not stand for it here in Palm Beach County.”</p>

<p>TAMPA BAY, Fla. - Americans around the country are being urged to donate blood at their local blood center in order to assist victims of Hurricane Irma.</p>
<p>OneBlood, a Florida based blood center, resumed blood collections on Tuesday. All blood types are needed, however, there is an urgent need for platelet donors and people with O negative blood. Hurricane Irma forced OneBlood to suspend operations for three days and as a result, there is an urgent need to replenish the blood supply in Florida. Donors should visit <a href="https://www.oneblood.org/locations/" type="external">www.oneblood.org</a> for donor center hours and blood drive locations.</p>
<p>OneBlood, in coordination with America’s Blood Centers and Blood Centers of America, has been actively arranging for shipments of blood to be brought in to Florida by blood centers from around the country.</p>
<p>OneBlood is urging people living outside of Irma’s path to visit their local blood center and donate blood as soon as possible to assist those desperately in need in Florida.</p>
<p>Those interested in donating blood may contact the following organizations to find a local blood drive and to schedule an appointment:</p> AABB: www.aabb.org; +1.301.907.6977

<p>August 2016 was the warmest August on record for global land/ocean surface combined, according to NOAA. Records go back to 1880.</p>
<p>This is the 16th consecutive month that a new, record high global temperature average has been set.</p>
<p>Fourteen of the fifteen highest monthly global temperature anomalies have occurred since February 2015.</p>
<p>August 2016 averaged 0.92 deg. C above the 20th century average, breaking the old August record of +0.87 just set in August of 2015.</p>
<p>In terms of land surface only, August 2016 averaged 1.29 deg. C. above the 20th century average, breaking the old record of +1.10 deg. C. set in August 2015.</p>
<p>For ocean surface, August 2016 was the 2nd warmest August on record averaging 0.77 deg. C. above the 20th century average. The warmest August on record occurred last year (+0.79).</p>
<p>For the record, the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) was neutral for the month of August. Weak La Nina or neutral conditions are predicted for the remainder of this year.</p>
<p>----------</p>
<p>Warmest June-August period on record</p>
<p>The June-August 2016 period was the warmest such period on record, according to <a href="https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/201608" type="external">NOAA.</a></p>
<p>June-August 2016 averaged 0.89 deg. C. above the 20th century average, beating out the record of +0.85 set in 2015.</p>

<p>The January-August 2016 period was the warmest such period on record, according to NOAA.</p>

<p>With 11 days left in the presidential election, the FBI’s decision to launch another investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a <a href="http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article24781261.html" type="external">private email system</a> for government business threatens to upend an already volatile race.</p>
<p>At the most, it could turn at least some voters to rival Donald Trump, who has rested much of his pitch on the argument that Clinton is dishonest and who grabbed at the news immediately as a gift to salvage his trailing campaign. With less but still important impact, it could freeze the momentum to Clinton that has helped her pull ahead in past weeks. At a minimum, it could have a nominal effect on an electorate that already had doubts about her honesty, and has already started voting.</p>
<p>FBI Director James Comey set off the late October furor with a letter to Congress on Friday saying the agency was launching another investigation into Clinton’s personal email server after obtaining additional information in an unrelated case Thursday.</p>
<p>“The FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation,” Comey wrote in the <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/102816_FBI-Letter.pdf" type="external">letter</a>. “I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation.”</p> Breaking News

<p>Trump on newly discovered Clinton emails: at last justice will be done</p>
<p>Advertisement</p>
<p>Donald Trump was holding a rally in New Hampshire when news broke that the FBI would review new emails in its investigation of Hillary Clinton. He called the inquiry “bigger than Watergate.”</p>
<p>By McClatchy</p>
<p>Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta called the announcement so late in the campaign “extraordinary” and urged the FBI to release all of the details of what it is examining. “We are confident this will not produce any conclusions different from the one the FBI reached in July,” Podesta said, referring to the FBI decision earlier not to seek any prosecution of Clinton.</p>
<p>His eagerness to address the matter as fast as possible underscored the mysterious nature of the new investigation and the impact it could have.</p>
<p>Donald Trump and his Republican allies have been baselessly second-guessing the FBI and, in both public and private, browbeating the career officials there to revisit their conclusion in a desperate attempt to harm Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.</p>
<p>Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta</p>
<p>The news spread quickly, including through the battleground state of North Carolina, one of several where a turn of a few percentage points still could decide the race.</p>
<p>“This is definitely going to influence me,” said Democrat James Smythers, a warehouse manager from Princeton, North Carolina. “I’ll lean to Trump if he makes her pay for what she’s done.”</p>

<p>EDITORS: END OPTIONAL TRIM</p>
<p>At a rally featuring Republican vice-presidential nominee Mike Pence in Raleigh, the mood was buoyant among those waiting, but not overwhelmingly so.</p>
<p>“Five days ago I was down in the dumps, reading the polls,” said Republican Suzanne Morse, a retiree from Clayton, North Carolina. “Now I think there’s hope. It may not make a big difference, it may not be in the millions, but every vote counts.”</p>
<p>Even if it doesn’t drive voters to Trump, it could stop any momentum to Clinton.</p>
<p>“Voters who are on the bubble and maybe leaning toward Hillary, this puts the brake on,” said Republican pollster <a href="http://pos.org/about-us/partners-and-vps/neil-newhouse-partner/" type="external">Neil Newhouse</a>.</p>
<p>The FBI’s decision to reopen their criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s secret email server just 11 days before the election shows how serious this discovery must be.</p>
<p>Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus</p>
<p>Clinton, leading in both national polls and battleground-state surveys, had been trying not to cause any waves as the election winds down. She had benefited greatly from bad news about her opponent – multiple women accusing <a href="http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article98915057.html" type="external">Trump</a> of sexual assault following the <a href="http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article106982327.html" type="external">release of a decade-old video</a> in which he bragged about groping women – and was working to avoid any change in that narrative.</p>
<p>Now Republicans will work hard in the next few days to use the latest development to drive the argument that Clinton is unfit.</p>
<p>“Hillary Clinton’s corruption is on a scale we have never seen before,” Trump said Friday in Manchester, New Hampshire, as the crowd broke into chants of “lock her up.” “We must not let her take her criminal scheme into the Oval Office.”</p>
<q> <p>Clinton email scandal + Anthony Weiner = a volcanic news cycle that will serve as an 11 day negative ad worth millions.</p>— Ron Bonjean (@RonBonjean) <a href="https://twitter.com/RonBonjean/status/792094575577837568" type="external">October 28, 2016</a> </q>
<p>Trump will have to rely on news media coverage to drive much of that message, having made the tactical decision much earlier not to spend as much time as Clinton did raising money – money he now could use to buy ads on the FBI news.</p>

"<p>With 11 days left in the presidential election, the FBI’s decision to launch another investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a <a href="http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article24781261.html" type="external">private email system</a> for government business threatens to upend an already volatile race.</p>
<p>At the most, it could turn at least some voters to rival Donald Trump, who has rested much of his pitch on the argument that Clinton is dishonest and who grabbed at the news immediately as a gift to salvage his trailing campaign. With less but still important impact, it could freeze the momentum to Clinton that has helped her pull ahead in past weeks. At a minimum, it could have a nominal effect on an electorate that already had doubts about her honesty, and has already started voting.</p>
<p>FBI Director James Comey set off the late October furor with a letter to Congress on Friday saying the agency was launching another investigation into Clinton’s personal email server after obtaining additional information in an unrelated case Thursday.</p>
<p>“The FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation,” Comey wrote in the <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/102816_FBI-Letter.pdf" type="external">letter</a>. “I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation.”</p> Breaking News

<p>Trump on newly discovered Clinton emails: at last justice will be done</p>
<p>Advertisement</p>
<p>Donald Trump was holding a rally in New Hampshire when news broke that the FBI would review new emails in its investigation of Hillary Clinton. He called the inquiry “bigger than Watergate.”</p>
<p>By McClatchy</p>
<p>Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta called the announcement so late in the campaign “extraordinary” and urged the FBI to release all of the details of what it is examining. “We are confident this will not produce any conclusions different from the one the FBI reached in July,” Podesta said, referring to the FBI decision earlier not to seek any prosecution of Clinton.</p>
<p>His eagerness to address the matter as fast as possible underscored the mysterious nature of the new investigation and the impact it could have.</p>
<p>Donald Trump and his Republican allies have been baselessly second-guessing the FBI and, in both public and private, browbeating the career officials there to revisit their conclusion in a desperate attempt to harm Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.</p>
<p>Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta</p>
<p>The news spread quickly, including through the battleground state of North Carolina, one of several where a turn of a few percentage points still could decide the race.</p>
<p>“This is definitely going to influence me,” said Democrat James Smythers, a warehouse manager from Princeton, North Carolina. “I’ll lean to Trump if he makes her pay for what she’s done.”</p>

<p>“The perception she’s untrustworthy has existed for years,” said Luke Perrin, a North Carolina State University sophomore from Hickory, North Carolina, who’s a Clinton supporter. “This is going to add to that perception.”</p> Related stories from Bradenton Herald

<p>At a rally featuring Republican vice-presidential nominee Mike Pence in Raleigh, the mood was buoyant among those waiting, but not overwhelmingly so.</p>
<p>“Five days ago I was down in the dumps, reading the polls,” said Republican Suzanne Morse, a retiree from Clayton, North Carolina. “Now I think there’s hope. It may not make a big difference, it may not be in the millions, but every vote counts.”</p>
<p>Even if it doesn’t drive voters to Trump, it could stop any momentum to Clinton.</p>
<p>“Voters who are on the bubble and maybe leaning toward Hillary, this puts the brake on,” said Republican pollster <a href="http://pos.org/about-us/partners-and-vps/neil-newhouse-partner/" type="external">Neil Newhouse</a>.</p>
<p>The FBI’s decision to reopen their criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s secret email server just 11 days before the election shows how serious this discovery must be.</p>
<p>Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus</p>
<p>Clinton, leading in both national polls and battleground-state surveys, had been trying not to cause any waves as the election winds down. She had benefited greatly from bad news about her opponent – multiple women accusing <a href="http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article98915057.html" type="external">Trump</a> of sexual assault following the <a href="http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article106982327.html" type="external">release of a decade-old video</a> in which he bragged about groping women – and was working to avoid any change in that narrative.</p>
<p>Now Republicans will work hard in the next few days to use the latest development to drive the argument that Clinton is unfit.</p>
<p>“Hillary Clinton’s corruption is on a scale we have never seen before,” Trump said Friday in Manchester, New Hampshire, as the crowd broke into chants of “lock her up.” “We must not let her take her criminal scheme into the Oval Office.”</p>
<q> <p>Clinton email scandal + Anthony Weiner = a volcanic news cycle that will serve as an 11 day negative ad worth millions.</p>— Ron Bonjean (@RonBonjean) <a href="https://twitter.com/RonBonjean/status/792094575577837568" type="external">October 28, 2016</a> </q>
<p>Trump will have to rely on news media coverage to drive much of that message, having made the tactical decision much earlier not to spend as much time as Clinton did raising money – money he now could use to buy ads on the FBI news.</p>

<p>The FBI is advising people to hang up if they receive a call from a woman screaming for help.</p>
<p>A decades-old <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/virtual-kidnapping" type="external">virtual kidnapping scam is placing more U.S. residents at risk of becoming potential victims</a>, the FBI warned on its website.</p>
<p>The scheme takes many forms, but basically callers trick victims into paying ransoms to free family or friends who have been “kidnapped.” The virtual abductors coerce victims to pay a ransom before victims can find out that no one has been kidnapped.</p>
<p>The FBI had been tracking virtual kidnapping calls primarily from prisons in Mexico between 2013 and 2015. The callers targeted individuals who spoke Spanish, the FBI said. Most of the victims were from the Los Angeles and Houston areas.</p> Today's top news by email

<p><a href="https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/" type="external">Privacy</a> - <a href="https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/terms/" type="external">Terms</a></p>
<p>The FBI issued the warning because kidnappers have widened their pool of potential victims by no longer targeting only specific individuals and Spanish speakers. The callers also are cold-calling numbers in various cities.</p>
<p>In a recent investigation, the FBI found that more than 80 people have fallen victim to the new tactics in California, Minnesota, Idaho and Texas. Those victims paid more than $87,000 in ransom.</p>
<p>An FBI spokeswoman for the Kansas City offices said she was not aware of any instances that have occurred in Kansas or Missouri where the FBI was involved.</p>
<p>The scam works this way: The potential victim answers a call and hears a woman screaming, “Help me!” The victim might blurt out a name, like Mary, asking her if she’s OK. At that point, the caller will tell the victim that Mary has been kidnapped and she will be harmed if ransom isn’t paid quickly.</p>
<p>The scam is successful when victims don’t know the whereabouts of their loved ones.</p>
<p>The scammers typically demand that the ransoms are wired to Mexico. The amount is typically less than $2,000 because of legal restrictions for wiring larger amounts across the border, the FBI said.</p>
<p>However, two victims in Houston were coerced to pay larger ransoms by making money drops.</p>
<p>A federal grand jury charged a 34-year-old Houston woman in July with 10 counts, including wire fraud and money laundering, for her involvement in the scam. The charges are the first federal indictment in a virtual kidnapping case, the FBI said.</p>

<p>How to avoid falling victim</p>
<p>If you receive a call from someone demanding ransom for an alleged kidnap victim, the FBI suggests:</p> Hang up the phone. Don’t call out your loved one’s name if you do respond to call. Request to speak with the alleged victim. Ask questions only the alleged victim would know. Listen to the voice of the alleged victim if they do speak. Try to contact the alleged victim on the phone, text or social media. Don’t agree to pay a ransom.
<p>If you believe a real kidnapping has taken place, call 911.</p>

<p>Usually, the person with the most information makes better decisions. But when you rely on info that’s wrong, chances increase that your decisions are wrong.</p>
<p>So it is with Florida’s solar power ballot Amendment 1. Opponents are funneling misinformation into the discussion.</p>
<p>The truth is that by voting for Amendment 1, Florida voters have a historic opportunity to advance solar power in the Sunshine State, at the same time ensuring that energy consumers are treated fairly; this includes those who choose solar and those who do not.</p>
<p>What does the amendment do? It constitutionally guarantees individuals and businesses the right to buy or lease solar equipment to produce their own energy; this means consumers will always have the right to generate their own solar electricity, and politicians cannot tamper with that right. Contrary to what opponents say, solar customers can still sell any excess electricity they generate back into the electric grid. More importantly, it protects Florida consumers from scams, rip-offs, overcharging and unfair subsidies. It treats all electricity consumers fairly.</p>
<p>Because it is renewable energy, a tax break is provided. This is because renewable solar energy aids in protecting the environment. If you choose not to install solar, you won’t be required to subsidize the costs of electric grid access and back-up power to those who do.</p>
<p>Another good point made by Florida TaxWatch is that, for Floridians who want the right to provide their own energy needs, “this amendment raises that right to Constitutional status, which strengthens that right, as it cannot be changed by state or local governments without going back to the voters.”</p>

<p>Many of those opposing Amendment 1 are companies that don’t want you to buy your own solar panels to generate your own electricity because they want you to buy solar electricity from them. Their business model is to lock consumers into 20-year contracts to put their solar equipment on your roof and sell you the electricity from it. And here’s the awful catch: The current published price for one of the leading companies, Solar City, is nearly 50% higher than what average Floridians pay for electricity today, plus its contract includes an automatic 2.9% cost increase—double what Floridians normally face. Something else these opponents fail to divulge is that they want a subsidy to operate their business model in Florida, a “stand-by charge” uniformly applied to every electric customer to ensure their model makes economic sense—for them. I do not believe that’s good for Floridians. Amendment 1 protects consumers from this type of subsidy.</p>
<p>The Amendment does not block ownership of solar, it does not make solar more expensive, and it certainly does not discourage people from installing solar on their homes. These are outright lies to pull the wool over your eyes.</p>
<p>Florida deserves a holistic approach to solar. Thankfully, Amendment 1 will provide a constitutional framework for solar in the Sunshine State, which will keep politicians and special interest groups from tampering with it.</p>

"<p>Usually, the person with the most information makes better decisions. But when you rely on info that’s wrong, chances increase that your decisions are wrong.</p>
<p>So it is with Florida’s solar power ballot Amendment 1. Opponents are funneling misinformation into the discussion.</p>
<p>The truth is that by voting for Amendment 1, Florida voters have a historic opportunity to advance solar power in the Sunshine State, at the same time ensuring that energy consumers are treated fairly; this includes those who choose solar and those who do not.</p>
<p>What does the amendment do? It constitutionally guarantees individuals and businesses the right to buy or lease solar equipment to produce their own energy; this means consumers will always have the right to generate their own solar electricity, and politicians cannot tamper with that right. Contrary to what opponents say, solar customers can still sell any excess electricity they generate back into the electric grid. More importantly, it protects Florida consumers from scams, rip-offs, overcharging and unfair subsidies. It treats all electricity consumers fairly.</p>
<p>Because it is renewable energy, a tax break is provided. This is because renewable solar energy aids in protecting the environment. If you choose not to install solar, you won’t be required to subsidize the costs of electric grid access and back-up power to those who do.</p>

<p>When the removal of a sign becomes a sign of the times…</p>
<p>In the open border utopia ushered in by President Barack Obama, it’s no longer socially acceptable to think Americans speak English and thus, down comes a famous sign at Geno’s Steaks in South Philly.</p>
<p>More from <a href="http://insider.foxnews.com/2016/10/15/joey-ventos-speak-english-sign-removed-genos-philly-cheesesteaks-shop" type="external">Fox News</a>:</p>
<q> <p>Geno’s has held its prominent location at South Philadelphia’s ‘cheesesteak junction’, at the diagonal meeting of 9th and Passyunk–and across from cheesesteak originator “Pat’s”, since 1966, but Vento’s contentious sign set it apart from the rest.</p> <p>Joey Vento, who died in 2011 at age 71, drew regional and national attention over his “This is America, When Ordering Speak English” sign posted to the walk-up window at ‘Geno’s’.</p> <p>After Vento’s death, his son Geno, named for his father’s shop, apparently decided to take the sign down.</p> </q>
<p><a type="internal">SEE ALSO: Dana Perino Erupts ‘Like Mount Vesuvius’: ‘After 20 Years Of Defending These Guys … Done!’</a></p>
<p>Turns out, the descendant of Italian immigrants never refused service to anyone and said he posted the sign as political commentary on illegal immigration, according to Fox News.</p>
<p>Geno’s Steaks released a statement on the removal of the sign, saying it’s time to move on.</p>
<p>“While Geno continues to honor his father’s traditions of good quality food, cleanliness and giving back to the community, he has decided that after 10 years it is time to move on,” the statement said.</p>
<p>“It’s not about the sign. It’s about what you do and what your mark in life is, and Geno wants to change that mark in life.”</p>
<p>Geno’s was in the news recently when GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, who is strongly opposed to illegal immigration, came by for a cheesesteak while campaigning.</p>

<p>People are hungry to learn more about Hillary Clinton’s Wikileaks scandal, but you wouldn’t know it if you get your news from the mainstream media.</p>
<p>The search term “Wikileaks” dwarfs the term “Trump Women,” according to an info graphic shown on “Fox &amp; Friends” on Saturday, but the network news coverage does not reflect the interest.</p>
<p>ABC News devoted four minutes to discussing Trump’s sex scandals while NBC did 5 minutes and CBS did 3 minutes on the topic.</p>
<p>By contrast, ABC spent a paltry one minute on Clinton’s Wikileaks scandal while CBS devoted two minutes to the email leaks. But NBC was, by far, the worst. With precisely no coverage at all the peacock network simply pretended the scandal didn’t exist.</p>

<p>We’re talking the real deal here, not that namby-pamby chemical castration.</p>
<p>An Alabama lawmaker introduced a bill Monday that would require certain sex offenders to be permanently and physically castrated prior to being released from prison.</p>
<p>The offenders that the bill targets are the worst of the worst — predators of young children.</p>
<p>Republican Rep. Steve Hurst introduced the measure requiring anyone older than 21 who is convicted of “certain sex offenses” against children age 12 or younger to pay for the surgical procedure before they serve the end of their prison sentence.</p>
<p>This isn’t a first for Hurst — he’s introduced similar legislation seven times since 2006, but most of his efforts never made it out of committee, according to CBS News.</p>
<p>He was prompted to begin this crusade as the result of a visit from a foster parent advocacy group that relayed a “horrible” story of abuse.</p>
<p>“I’ve often wondered what that child went through, physically and mentally, and what kind of shape he’s in now,” Hurst said Monday. “They (sex offenders) have marked these children for life. They will never get over it. And if they’ve marked children for life, they need to be marked for life.”</p>
<p>CBS News reported:</p>
<q> <p>Hurst in 2005 agreed to remove castration requirements from legislation setting tougher sentences for sex offenders. Several House members at the time told The Associated Press they feared the castration language would have made the bill unconstitutional. In 2011, Hurst co-sponsored a bill that classified the sexual abuse of a child 6 years or younger as a capital offense, allowing courts to sentence offenders to life without parole.</p> </q>
<p>Alabama residents have mixed feelings about the measure.</p>
<p>“Somebody that wants to mess with a little girl or little boy that age should be castrated, and they should not be able to mess with any other kids,” Keith Dison told CBS affiliate WIAT.</p>
<p>“I understand prison and going to prison for a long time for some kind of crime like that, but to physical mutilate someone…that’s a little out there…it’s crazy,” Jessica George told the station.</p>

<p>A couple of weeks ago, after the row over Trump "fat-shaming" Alicia Machado, I suggested the Republican candidate lay off our weight.</p> Warning: This article contains some graphic language
<p>Now, and I can hardly believe I'm having to write this, I suggest he lay off our vaginas.</p>
<p>The day after a video tape emerged in which he suggested he could have any woman he wants because he's a star and so could just "grab them by the pussy", Mr Trump is in a whole ocean of hot political water.</p>
<p>Enough, quite possibly, to sink any chance he had of winning the White House.</p>
<p>Why this tape - and not the myriad other controversies that have dogged him in recent weeks?</p>
<p>First, analyse what he actually says. There is something particularly sexist, I'd say abusive, about this recording.</p>
<p>Read this excerpt:</p>
<p>"When you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything."</p>
<p>"Whatever you want," the interviewer says.</p>
<p>"Grab 'em by the pussy, you can do anything," Trump replies."</p>
<p>It's the way Mr Trump reveals that he sees women as a piece of sexual meat, something he wants, grabs, discards that is so damning.</p>
<a type="internal">Lay off a woman's size, Trump</a>
<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2016-37595079" type="external">Is the Trump campaign done for?</a>
<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2016-37040360" type="external">Could Republicans still dump Trump?</a>
<a type="internal">The role of gender in the debate</a>
<p>Surveys (US government and UN) suggest one in five American women are the victim of rape or attempted rape and a staggering 83% of girls suffer sexual harassment at school.</p>
<p>Mr Trump is not guilty of either of those but his language is exactly the kind of language that encourages men and boys to feel it's okay to abuse women.</p>
<p>There is a violence in the phrases "grab 'em by the pussy" and "you can do anything" that any victim of abuse would recognise and that most women would find sickening.</p>
<p>To dismiss the tape as mere "locker room banter" and imply that the people who are offended are making an unnecessary fuss, or to say, as he did in his bizarre overnight apology tape, that this is just a distraction, compounds his problem.</p> Trump has offended many groups of people before
<p>But this tape doesn't just offend women, judging from the reaction in the Republican party - it has offended a lot of men too. Whether those men will now withdraw their endorsements of him is yet to be seen.</p>
<p>Mr Trump has denigrated people before. His comments about Muslims and Mexicans have arguably been equally grotesque and many, including some Republicans, have suggested they disqualified him for the presidency too.</p>
<p>Not everyone in America, however, knows a Muslim or a Mexican. Most people, and most voters, do have wives, mothers, sisters or daughters and that's why this tape touches a nerve, with both sexes, in a way his previous remarks haven't.</p>
<p>Powerful men using their position to get sex is nothing new, even in the White House. JFK and Bill Clinton paved that path.</p>
<p>Today some of Trump's supporters are making the case that anyone who voted for Bill Clinton has no right to be offended by Donald Trump.</p> Will the subject of Bill Clinton's infidelities now come up at Sunday's debate?
<p>I've been critical of Mr Clinton's treatment of women, and of Mrs Clinton's role in shielding him, but those supporters are missing the point.</p>
<p>In 2016, don't we all want more from our leaders than another man who feels getting sex from whoever they want, whenever they want is simply one of the perks of power? For my two daughters, I know I do.</p>
<p>How Mr Trump manages the fallout from this isn't clear. He doesn't like apologising. Indeed, he has bragged about never doing so.</p>
<p>Yet overnight he did release a video statement in which he said: "I said it, I was wrong, and I apologise."</p>
<p>In the tape he then goes on to attack both Clintons' records. So on Sunday night, when he debates with Hillary Clinton for the second time, will he raise the issue of Bill Clinton's affairs and Hillary's role in discrediting the women involved, or will he keep quiet about sex altogether?</p>
<p>In the past Mr Trump has not been able to resist lashing out when he's under attack. So, whatever his advisers may caution, I suspect we will see more of that in St Louis on Sunday night.</p>

<p>A lot of Californians are mad as hell. Some even say they’re not going to take it anymore.</p>
<p>"It" is the result of November’s presidential election. What these Californians are doing is organizing a secessionist movement — as in, taking California out of the United States.</p>
<p>Their movement is called Calexit, as in Brexit. Their inspiration is the growing gulf that separates them — politically, culturally, demographically — from the rest of the union.</p>
<p>Hillary Clinton outpolled Donald Trump by a two-to-one margin here. "Without California, Trump would have won the popular vote," tweeted conservative pundit and Trump critic David Frum.</p>
<p>The Golden State has a population of 39 million people, more than any other state in the union, and more people than in all of Canada. Metro Los Angeles alone is home to close to 19 million, a total greater than Ontario and Alberta combined.</p>
<p>As Frum points out, those are numbers that come with economic clout, and therein lies the rub for many Californians.</p>
<p>The U.S. without California, he writes, would be the world’s second-ranked technology power instead of the first. It’s home to Silicon Valley and companies such as Google, Apple, Cisco, Intel, Oracle, and SpaceX.</p>
<p>California boasts the world’s sixth largest economy, greater than France, Italy, South Korea and India.</p>
<p>California is also culturally distinct from much of the rest of the U.S. It’s synonymous with liberal causes, from environmental protection to gun control to health care, and that has other Americans judging Californians, and not in a flattering way.</p>
<p>It’s a reality not lost on Marcus Ruiz Evans, one of the movers and shakers behind Calexit. "California," he admitted to the Washington Post, "(is) seen as weird."</p>
<p>That weirdness extends to politics beyond the presidential variety. Gov. Jerry Brown has vowed to ensure Californians have health insurance coverage, offered through the state-run health exchange called Covered California, even if Trump Republicans repeal ObamaCare.</p>
<p>But where the state most hears a different drummer is on immigration. Californians are decidedly in favour of it, and it’s easy to see why.</p>
<p>California has the largest immigrant population in the union, approximately 10 million in total, a quarter of those undocumented. If you’re not an immigrant in California, you know one. Or two. Or more.</p>
<p>In response to Trump’s ambitions to engage in large-scale deportation of illegal immigrants, the state legislature is considering a bill that would declare the state a "sanctuary."</p>
<p>Lawmakers have even hired former Obama attorney general Eric Holder to battle the Trump administration on the issue. That step earned the enmity of the new president.</p>
<p>"Trump claims California is ‘out of control,’ " writes columnist George Skelton in the Los Angeles Times, though the irony is undoubtedly lost on the president.</p>
<p>Trump has threatened to cut off federal funds to California. "We’ll defund," Trump told Fox News. "We give tremendous amounts of money to California."</p>
<p>The problem is that, like residents of Canada’s "have" provinces, Californians contribute more money to the federal treasury than what comes back.</p>
<p>There has been much grousing about the Trump administration ever since the threats were levelled, fertile ground for Calexit.</p>
<p>The secessionists even have the support of Silicon Valley billionaires Peter Thiel and Shervin Pishevar.</p>
<p>Companies like Google have expressed concern about their ability in an anti-immigrant climate to recruit foreigners for jobs not enough Americans are qualified to fill.</p>
<p>In January, the group Yes California was given permission to circulate a petition with the intention of putting the sovereignty question on the 2018 ballot. If the petition is successful — close to 600,000 signatures are required — a special vote to decide the state’s future would follow in 2019.</p>
<p>Calexit does have its skeptics. "Canadians know you don’t escape the shadow of your giant neighbour by drawing a border," wrote Prof. Timothy William Waters in the Los Angeles Times. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said he believes secession is a bad idea.</p>
<p>Such opinions are far from universal. According to a new Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll taken in California, one-third of respondents support "peaceful withdrawal from the union."</p>
<p>As one tweeter wrote: "We’ll just take our avocados and legal weed and go."</p>

<p>I have never been prouder to be an American.</p>
<p>That might seem like a strange confession in these dark times, when there is so much divisiveness in the country. Every day we are faced with cringe-worthy behavior by our country’s leaders: sexual harassment, enabling hate groups by publicly echoing their messages, the enactment of policies that curtail the constitutionally guaranteed civil rights of the nonrich. We who love our country are often left embarrassed, enraged and exhausted. It’s as if some jokester slapped a going out of business sign on our country’s back and scribbled underneath: everything (we stand for) must go.</p>
<p>Then why am I so proud of America? Because, to paraphrase what Thomas Paine famously said during the Revolutionary War, these are the times that try Americans’ souls. It is during tumultuous times like these—times when we are challenged to defend our most sacred beliefs with more than trite slogans on caps—that real heroes rise up to face that challenge. Among these heroes are the athletes who recognize that they have a responsibility not just to defend a goal or a hoop, but also to defend American values and ideals.</p>
<p>There are certain iconic images that will forever live in our social collective unconscious of activist athletes who risked their lives, not to mention their careers, to uphold their principles and commitment to their country: Jesse Owens receiving his gold medal in the 1936 Berlin Olympics while a German runner-up beside him gave the Nazi salute. John Carlos and Tommie Smith raising their black-gloved fists when receiving their medals at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics to protest injustice and poverty in the African-American community. In 1996, Nuggets guard Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf bowing his head in prayer during the national anthem as a protest against racism. In 2014, LeBron James and other NBA players wearing i can’t breathe shirts to protest Eric Garner’s death at the hands of police.</p>
<p>These heroes remind us what true patriotism is: people caring more about protecting the principles of the Constitution than about their own careers, fame, money or even lives. Colin Kaepernick, the recipient of this year’s Sports Illustrated Muhammad Ali Legacy Award, is one such hero.</p>
<p>What makes Colin so deserving of this award is that he fully embraced all of those risks in order to remind Americans about systemic racism. This is exactly what Muhammad Ali did when, at the height of his boxing career, he refused to be drafted during the Vietnam War. Ali knew that he was not at risk of being sent into combat and could have served as a celebrity soldier. But he insisted on standing up for his principles, even though it cost him millions of dollars and resulted in death threats, harsh attacks from the press and public, the loss of his title and the possibility of prison.</p>
<p>Since Colin first declined to stand for the national anthem on Aug. 14, 2016, to call attention to the astounding number of unarmed African-Americans killed by police, the citizens have responded with both praise and condemnation, just as they always have whenever anyone exercises their right to free speech on a contentious topic. This is the same treatment bold Americans of conscience have always received. People rarely want to hear the truth when that truth reveals problems they don’t want to face. It’s easier to blame the messenger and ignore the message.</p>
<q> <p>He is forcing the country to continue to have a meaningful conversation about racial inequality when many want to pretend there is no problem.</p> </q>
<p>That’s why Colin has been vilified and glorified, ostracized and memorialized, demonized and idolized. Though supporters have come and gone, Colin has never wavered in his commitment. This selfless courage has inspired other athletes—from high school to professional ranks—across all sports, races and genders to make their voices heard. He is forcing the country to continue to have a meaningful conversation about racial inequality when many want to pretend there is no problem.</p>
<p>Sports Illustrated’s Muhammad Ali Legacy Award was created to honor individuals whose career in athletics has directly or indirectly impacted the world. On Nov. 30, it was reported that a group of about 40 NFL players and league officials had reached an agreement for the league to provide approximately $90 million between now and 2023 for activism endeavors important to African-American communities.

"<p>I have never been prouder to be an American.</p>
<p>That might seem like a strange confession in these dark times, when there is so much divisiveness in the country. Every day we are faced with cringe-worthy behavior by our country’s leaders: sexual harassment, enabling hate groups by publicly echoing their messages, the enactment of policies that curtail the constitutionally guaranteed civil rights of the nonrich. We who love our country are often left embarrassed, enraged and exhausted. It’s as if some jokester slapped a going out of business sign on our country’s back and scribbled underneath: everything (we stand for) must go.</p>
<p>Then why am I so proud of America? Because, to paraphrase what Thomas Paine famously said during the Revolutionary War, these are the times that try Americans’ souls. It is during tumultuous times like these—times when we are challenged to defend our most sacred beliefs with more than trite slogans on caps—that real heroes rise up to face that challenge. Among these heroes are the athletes who recognize that they have a responsibility not just to defend a goal or a hoop, but also to defend American values and ideals.</p>
<p>There are certain iconic images that will forever live in our social collective unconscious of activist athletes who risked their lives, not to mention their careers, to uphold their principles and commitment to their country: Jesse Owens receiving his gold medal in the 1936 Berlin Olympics while a German runner-up beside him gave the Nazi salute. John Carlos and Tommie Smith raising their black-gloved fists when receiving their medals at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics to protest injustice and poverty in the African-American community. In 1996, Nuggets guard Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf bowing his head in prayer during the national anthem as a protest against racism. In 2014, LeBron James and other NBA players wearing i can’t breathe shirts to protest Eric Garner’s death at the hands of police.</p>
<p>These heroes remind us what true patriotism is: people caring more about protecting the principles of the Constitution than about their own careers, fame, money or even lives. Colin Kaepernick, the recipient of this year’s Sports Illustrated Muhammad Ali Legacy Award, is one such hero.</p>
<p>What makes Colin so deserving of this award is that he fully embraced all of those risks in order to remind Americans about systemic racism. This is exactly what Muhammad Ali did when, at the height of his boxing career, he refused to be drafted during the Vietnam War. Ali knew that he was not at risk of being sent into combat and could have served as a celebrity soldier. But he insisted on standing up for his principles, even though it cost him millions of dollars and resulted in death threats, harsh attacks from the press and public, the loss of his title and the possibility of prison.</p>
<p>Since Colin first declined to stand for the national anthem on Aug. 14, 2016, to call attention to the astounding number of unarmed African-Americans killed by police, the citizens have responded with both praise and condemnation, just as they always have whenever anyone exercises their right to free speech on a contentious topic. This is the same treatment bold Americans of conscience have always received. People rarely want to hear the truth when that truth reveals problems they don’t want to face. It’s easier to blame the messenger and ignore the message.</p>
<q> <p>He is forcing the country to continue to have a meaningful conversation about racial inequality when many want to pretend there is no problem.</p> </q>
<p>That’s why Colin has been vilified and glorified, ostracized and memorialized, demonized and idolized. Though supporters have come and gone, Colin has never wavered in his commitment. This selfless courage has inspired other athletes—from high school to professional ranks—across all sports, races and genders to make their voices heard. He is forcing the country to continue to have a meaningful conversation about racial inequality when many want to pretend there is no problem.</p>
<p>Sports Illustrated’s Muhammad Ali Legacy Award was created to honor individuals whose career in athletics has directly or indirectly impacted the world. On Nov. 30, it was reported that a group of about 40 NFL players and league officials had reached an agreement for the league to provide approximately $90 million between now and 2023 for activism endeavors important to African-American communities. Clearly, this is the result of Colin’s one-knee revolution and of the many players and coaches he inspired to join him. That is some serious impact.</p>
<p>It has always been perplexing that people criticize athletes like Colin as being unpatriotic because they are exercising the rights the Constitution protects. It’s especially puzzling when they are accused of disrespecting the national anthem, which contains the lyrics, “No refuge could save the hireling and slave/From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave,” and was written by a man who referred to blacks as an “inferior race of people.” When that song is playing, it seems like an especially appropriate time to bring up the fact that 200 years after it was written, we are still treating African-Americans as an inferior race by denying them equal opportunities in education, jobs, health care and voting. We praise our military for risking everything to make sure America lives up to the promises in the Constitution: equal opportunity and respect for all people.</p>
<p>Upon hearing about the establishment of the award in his honor, Ali said, “I know there will be a great tradition of champions to receive this award in the future, and I look forward to celebrating their spirit and accomplishments.” Were my old friend still alive, I know he would be proud that Colin Kaepernick is continuing Ali’s tradition of being a selfless warrior for social justice.</p>

<p>Early this year, Donald Trump made the seemingly audacious suggestion that Hillary Clinton was somehow responsible for Bill Clinton's infidelities. Trump called her an "enabler" and said she "attacked the women who Bill Clinton mistreated afterward."</p>
<p>In typical Trump fashion, the comment was designed to get attention. Mrs Clinton has been a champion of family issues and women's rights throughout her career, so the idea that she was the enabler of someone Mr Trump has called "the greatest abuser of women in the history of politics," appeared outrageous.</p>
<p>And yet, something resonated in Mr Trump's description of Hillary. There was a kernel of truth to his claim and now it is hurting Mrs Clinton with young female voters.</p>
<p>The New York Times today has a long article outlining <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/03/us/politics/hillary-bill-clinton-women.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=b-lede-package-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news" type="external">Mrs Clinton's role in the political handling</a> of her husband's sexual affairs. It's pretty damning, and for Clinton's supporters it must make unpleasant reading.</p>
<p>Anyone with an iota of empathy, of course, sympathises with what Hillary Clinton went through during the Lewinsky scandal. I was here and covered the story. It was grim, and the image of Chelsea steadfastly holding both parents hands as they walked, heads slightly bowed, to the helicopter on their way to that summer holiday in Martha's Vineyard will stick with me as one of the more poignant family portraits ever taken.</p>
<p>Dealing with a spouse's unfaithfulness is traumatic in private. It must be an even deeper circle of Hell when splashed on the front of every newspaper.</p>
<p>What is disconcerting now, however, is Hillary's role in pursuing the women themselves - Gennifer, Paula, Monica, they all, according to both the New York Times and previously published accounts, became the subject of brutal, organised discreditation campaigns.</p>
<p>In 1992, Hillary told Esquire magazine that if she had the chance to cross examine Flowers, she would "crucify her." Taking such determined steps to destroy a woman's reputation in order to protect her husband's political career smacks of depressingly cynical calculation.</p>
<p>The Clintons hired a famous private investigator to dig up the women's pasts with the aim of destroying their reputations. It is not clear from the Times' reporting to what degree Mrs Clinton favoured this tough approach.</p>
<p>Did she drive it or just give it an accepting nod? Maybe the more relevant point is that she condoned it. Hillary also famously called Ms Lewinsky a "narcissistic loony toon," according to a friend's testimony. A staff member who was close to Hillary said she referred to Mr Clinton's affairs as "bimbo eruptions".</p>
<p>And there's the problem for young women voters.</p>
<p>Why should the character or the sexual past of these women be relevant to the truthfulness of their claims? Indeed, Mr Clinton went on to confess to affairs with both Ms Flowers and Ms Lewinsky, after initially denying them.</p>
<p>By discrediting the women, the Clintons were spreading the subliminal message that it was somehow their fault more than Bill's. What were they trying to prove - that he was led astray by sexual predators? In 2016 that sounds grotesque.</p> How it all started for Hillary Clinton How it all started for Hillary Clinton
<p>Today's sexual mores are very different from the 1980s and 1990s. Young women today expect women to stand up for other women, particularly in the area of sexual relations and particularly when those sexual relations involve a very powerful man and a younger woman.</p>
<p>Younger women who have been through bruising college sexual abuse scandals across America have little tolerance for women who in any way cast blame on the victim. That empathy extends to consensual affairs - they just don't like women shaming other women. Which is exactly what Hillary Clinton was complicit in doing, according to the New York Times, and other previous accounts.</p>
<p>Mrs Clinton's supporters say this is all old news, and is part of a right-wing attempt to slime her. Many millennial voters weren't even born when Monica and Bill were cavorting in the Oval Office. This is their first introduction to this sordid story.</p>
<p>However the Clinton campaign tries to spin it, it just doesn't look great for their candidate.</p>

<p>Now that a federal judge has held Obama's illegal "executive amnesty" unconstitutional, perhaps U.S. senators will remember that they swore to uphold the Constitution, too.</p>
<p>Back when they needed our votes before the last election, Republicans were hairy-chested warriors, vowing to block Obama's unconstitutional "executive amnesty" -- if only voters gave them a Senate majority.</p>
<p>The resulting Republican landslide suggested some opposition to amnesty.</p>
<p>Heading into the election, college professor Dave Brat took out the sitting House majority leader and amnesty-supporter Eric Cantor in a primary, despite being outspent 40-1. It was the greatest upset in history since the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" at the Lake Placid Olympics: Never before has a House majority leader been defeated in a primary. And Brat did it by an astonishing 55.5 percent to 45.5 percent.</p>
<p>Again, the voters seemed to be expressing disquiet with amnesty.</p>
<p>After that, even amnesty-supporting Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., was denouncing Obama's executive amnesty. "If the president were to do that," he said, "and we have a Republican majority in the United States Senate, why, we have a number of options that we don't now have to remind him to read Article I of the Constitution."</p>
<p>Poll after poll showed Americans ranking illegal immigration as the No. 1 most important problem facing the nation. We haven't changed our minds. Last week, an Associated Press-Gfk poll showed that Obama's single most unpopular policy is his position on illegal immigration.</p>
<p>In other words, Obamacare is more popular than amnesty. That's like losing a popularity contest to Ted Bundy.</p>
<p>Since at least 2006, voters have insistently told pollsters they don't want amnesty. Seemingly bulletproof Republican congressmen have lost their seats over amnesty. President Bush lost the entire House of Representatives over amnesty. What else do we have to do to convince you we don't want amnesty, Republicans? Make it a host on "The View"?</p>
<p>Before the election, then-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell complained that Obama's decision to delay his executive amnesty until after the election was a ploy to prevent Americans from "hold(ing) his party accountable in the November elections."</p>
<p>But voters went ahead and held Obama accountable! Now McConnell is Senate majority leader -- and he claims his hands are tied.</p>
<p>McConnell's spokesman at the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Brad Dayspring, predicted that Obama's amnesty threat would drive voters to "elect a new Senate (that) will stand up to the president."</p>
<p>Check! Mission accomplished! Done and done! Officially off our bucket list. OK, guys, your turn. When do you start standing up to the president? Hello? Hell-oooo?</p>
<p>To gin up votes, "Republican insiders" told the Washington Examiner last fall that "the results of the midterm elections" would determine how "aggressive" the GOP would be in fighting Obama's amnesty.</p>
<p>Voters gave you a blow-out victory, Republicans. You cleaned their clocks. (Have you seen Harry Reid lately?) Where's that promised aggression on amnesty?</p>
<p>Republicans and George Will tell us they can't stand up to Obama's executive amnesty because the media are unfair.</p>
<p>Oh, well, in that case, never mind!</p>
<p>This is news to them? They didn't know the media were unfair when they were promising to block Obama's illegal amnesty before the elections? The media have blamed the GOP for every failure of Republicans and Democrats to reach an agreement since the Hoover administration. This isn't a surprise development.</p>
<p>Why don't Republicans attack the media? People hate the media! Their power is eroding -- and it would erode a lot faster if Congress would challenge them. Instead of submitting to the media's blackmail, my suggestion is, take their gun away.</p>
<p>Tell voters what the media won't: that Obama's "amnesty" will give illegal aliens Social Security cards and three years of back-payments through the Earned Income Tax Credit, even though they never paid taxes in the first place.</p>
<p>Could we get a poll on that: Should the government issue work permits to illegal aliens and give them each $25,000 in U.S. taxpayer money? I promise you, Obama would lose that vote by at least 80-20. Even people who are against hounding illegal aliens out of the country aren't clamoring to open the U.S. Treasury to them.</p>
<p>Tell voters that the media are refusing to report on Senate Democrats' weeks-long filibuster against a GOP bill that would defund Obama's illegal "amnesty."</p>
<p>Contrary to hysterical claims by the media and George Will, the government won't shut down if the Democrats' filibuster goes on forever. The government is funded! Only the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will be "defunded."</p>
<p>Which means, let's see ... I'm counting on my fingers ... yes, that's right: NOTHING.</p>
<p>Nearly all DHS employees are deemed "essential" personnel who are required to stay on the job even if the department's budget doesn't pass -- the Secret Service, the Transportation Security Administration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Customs and Border Protection and the Coast Guard.</p>
<p>Approximately 200,000 of DHS's 230,000 employees are required to keep working through what the media will hysterically call a "government shutdown."</p>
<p>By "government shutdown," the media mean: "some secretaries will not go to work."</p>
<p>Why don't Republicans spend all their airtime attacking the media for lying about what Obama's amnesty does and what the Democrats are doing?

<p>If a Republican majority in both houses of Congress can't stop Obama from issuing illegal immigrants Social Security cards and years of back welfare payments, there is no reason to vote Republican ever again.</p>

Consider this news article text:
"<p>Now that a federal judge has held Obama's illegal "executive amnesty" unconstitutional, perhaps U.S. senators will remember that they swore to uphold the Constitution, too.</p>
<p>Back when they needed our votes before the last election, Republicans were hairy-chested warriors, vowing to block Obama's unconstitutional "executive amnesty" -- if only voters gave them a Senate majority.</p>
<p>The resulting Republican landslide suggested some opposition to amnesty.</p>
<p>Heading into the election, college professor Dave Brat took out the sitting House majority leader and amnesty-supporter Eric Cantor in a primary, despite being outspent 40-1. It was the greatest upset in history since the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" at the Lake Placid Olympics: Never before has a House majority leader been defeated in a primary. And Brat did it by an astonishing 55.5 percent to 45.5 percent.</p>
<p>Again, the voters seemed to be expressing disquiet with amnesty.</p>
<p>After that, even amnesty-supporting Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., was denouncing Obama's executive amnesty. "If the president were to do that," he said, "and we have a Republican majority in the United States Senate, why, we have a number of options that we don't now have to remind him to read Article I of the Constitution."</p>
<p>Poll after poll showed Americans ranking illegal immigration as the No. 1 most important problem facing the nation. We haven't changed our minds. Last week, an Associated Press-Gfk poll showed that Obama's single most unpopular policy is his position on illegal immigration.</p>
<p>In other words, Obamacare is more popular than amnesty. That's like losing a popularity contest to Ted Bundy.</p>
<p>Since at least 2006, voters have insistently told pollsters they don't want amnesty. Seemingly bulletproof Republican congressmen have lost their seats over amnesty. President Bush lost the entire House of Representatives over amnesty. What else do we have to do to convince you we don't want amnesty, Republicans? Make it a host on "The View"?</p>
<p>Before the election, then-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell complained that Obama's decision to delay his executive amnesty until after the election was a ploy to prevent Americans from "hold(ing) his party accountable in the November elections."</p>
<p>But voters went ahead and held Obama accountable! Now McConnell is Senate majority leader -- and he claims his hands are tied.</p>
<p>McConnell's spokesman at the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Brad Dayspring, predicted that Obama's amnesty threat would drive voters to "elect a new Senate (that) will stand up to the president."</p>
<p>Check! Mission accomplished! Done and done! Officially off our bucket list. OK, guys, your turn. When do you start standing up to the president? Hello? Hell-oooo?</p>

<p>Methinks she doth protest too much -- and too late. Those who condemned President Trump for not condemning white supremacist groups quickly and forcefully enough after Charlottesville have no problem with Hillary Clinton taking five full days to hypocritically condemn sexual predator Harvey Weinstein.</p>
<p>Maybe she was pondering the similarities between Weinstein’s predatory activities and that of her husband. Both used their positions of power to extort sexual favors, sometimes forcibly, from women. And just as Hollywood looked the other way for the sake of career advancement so too did Hillary Clinton as she rode her husband’s attained coattails to political prominence. So her <a href="https://www.redstate.com/streiff/2017/10/10/hillary-clinton-totally-shocked-harvey-weinstein-lot-like-bill-clinton/" type="external">recent expression of disgust</a> over Weinstein’s activities ring hollow:</p>
<q> <p>At long last, the people who do the strategic planning for Hillary Clinton and tell her what emotions she should imitate in response to various stimuli have weighed in and they have decided that Harvey Weinstein is not a nice man:</p> <p>“I was shocked and appalled by the revelations about Harvey Weinstein. The behavior described by the women coming forward cannot be tolerated. Their courage and the support of others is critical in helping to stop this kind of behavior...”</p> <p>Hillary Clinton knew who and what Weinstein was as surely as she knew and knows what Bill Clinton is. Weinstein has been joined at the hip with the Clintons for a couple of decades…</p> <p>Ironically, as it turns out, he was a major defender of Bill Clinton in the Lewinski affair though Weinstein seemed to favor aiming at the ficus bushes rather than blue dresses. At the same time, mind you, that Hillary Clinton was active in directing a campaign to paint the battalion of women who had been sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton as morally decrepit if not outright crazy.</p> <p>Between Hillary’s campaigns and the Clinton Foundation (out of curiosity, is the FBI still investigating this?) she has benefited from as much as a quarter million dollars from Weinstein.</p> </q>
<p>Hollywood was a major funder of both the Clinton and Obama political machines, and many a Hollywood star defended Bill Clinton’s sordid activities as a personal matter as long as he was doing a good job as President. They similarly defended Weinstein as Michelle Obama once did, as a “wonderful human being”, as well as “a good friend and just a powerhouse” Both the Obamas and Clintons knew Weinstein well and <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2017/10/12/cnn-jeffrey-toobin-obamas-clintons-dont-get-pass-on-weinstein-dark-mark-on-their-record/" type="external">neither should be given a pass</a> for feigning ignorance and shock at his activities:</p>
<q> <p>None other than CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said on Tuesday evening that former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama should not get a “pass” on Harvey Weinstein.</p> <p>In fact, Toobin said their association with Weinstein throughout the years is a “dark mark on their record.”</p> <p>“I don’t think we can give the Clintons and the Obamas a pass here,” Toobin said on Anderson Cooper 360. He cited Seth MacFarlane’s creepy joke about Weinstein at an Oscars event and added that MacFarlane’s joke illustrated that “a lot of people knew or had very strong suspicions that this was a very bad guy.”</p> <p>“The Obamas and the Clintons embraced him, did fundraisers with him, paid tribute to him,” Toobin continued. “I think it’s a dark mark on their record…”</p> <p>The Obamas also finally said on record that they were “disgusted by the recent reports about Harvey Weinstein.”</p> <p>“Michelle and I have been disgusted by the recent reports about Harvey Weinstein,” the Obamas said in a statement. “Any man who demeans and degrades women in such fashion needs to be condemned and held accountable, regardless of wealth or status. We should celebrate the courage of women who have come forward to tell these painful stories. And we all need to build a culture -- including by empowering our girls and teaching our boys decency and respect -- so we can make such behavior less prevalent in the future…”</p> <p>As Breitbart News has reported, Weinstein visited the Obama White House on at least 13 occasions and Obama’s daughter, Malia Obama, “recently wrapped up an internship at the New York City offices of The Weinstein Co.”</p> </q>
<p>Right. Perhaps Weinstein wanted to see where Bill Clinton dropped his cigar in the Oval Office. Hillary, of course, should be all too familiar with Harvey Weinstein’s despicable behavior. She watched her husband do the same and worse for decades as she also allegedly fought for women’s rights, except for the right of their victims to leave the room unmolested.</p>
<p>Hillary famously said that all claims of rape, abuse, and harassment should be deemed credible and be believed until proven otherwise. It seems there was an exception for her husband, an exception required by her need to ride his coattails to power, just as Hollywood excused Weinstein because he could advance or kill the careers of those he exploited.</p>
<p>Gennifer Flowers, Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey as well as, some would suggest, a cast of thousands, have been groped, fondled, and used as sexual objects by one William Jefferson Clinton. Was Hillary appalled and shocked at her husband’s predatory activities or did she blame it on that “vast right-wing conspiracy”?</p>
<p>And then there’s Juanita Broaddrick, who has accused President Clinton of rape. <a type="internal">Juanita Broaddrick’s story</a> is a credible one, and one of the many “ <a href="http://www.westernjournalism.com/here-are-the-top-5-reasons-hillary-clinton-is-anti-woman/" type="external">bimbo eruptions</a>” that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton handled during her husband Bill’s presidential campaign As Linda Tripp, confidante of former Clinton intern Monica Lewinsky, <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3176621/Lies-cover-ups-corruption-Linda-Tripp-West-Wing-assistant-outed-Monica-Lewinsky-s-sexual-liaison-Bill-Clinton-talks-time-Hillary-tells-never-President.html" type="external">told the Daily Mail</a> of how Hillary both enabled and covered up Bill’s many dalliances:</p>
<q> <p>Tripp said: 'His political success was largely dependent upon Hillary. He owed her a great deal. As is widely acknowledged, Hillary took care of all the 'bimbo eruptions' of which there were thousands in order to present to the world an electable candidate.</p> <p>'In this endeavor she was ruthless. She destroyed women so that their stories never saw the light of day.'</p> </q>
<p>So much for fighting for women’s rights. At a Trump press conference in 2016, Broaddrick, tired of being accused of being part of that vast right-wing conspiracy, and afraid that her attacker would once again occupy the White House with the woman who orchestrated the attacks on Bill Clinton’s “bimbo eruptions”, <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/10/09/trump-holds-press-conference-with-women-whove-accused-bill-clinton-sex-assault-rape.html" type="external">repeated her accusation</a>:</p>
<q> <p>“Actions speak louder than words,” Broaddrick said. “Mr. Trump may have said some bad words but Bill Clinton raped me and Hillary Clinton threatened me. I don’t think there’s any comparison.”</p> </q>
<p>Broaddrick, who has said Hillary threatened her, appeared with fellow Clinton sexual assault victims Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey appeared in an interview at presidential suite of the historic Watergate and <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/10/09/juanita-broaddrick-kathleen-willey-paula-jones-bill-clinton-sexual-assault/" type="external">related the tale</a>of Bill’s assaults and their fear of Hillary’s retaliation:</p>
<q> <p>In an exclusive <a href="https://youtu.be/NvoRcPXURwg" type="external">video interview</a> at the presidential suite of the historic Watergate Hotel, the victims of Bill Clinton’s alleged sexual assault -- Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, and Paula Jones -- got together for the first time in person to express their personal fear of Hillary Clinton and to warn voters that Clinton does not stand for women’s issues..</p> <p>The three women, who say their lives were forever changed by their experiences with the Clintons, used words like “terrified” and “frightened” to describe their feelings about the prospects of a Hillary Clinton presidency…</p> <p>“We were not willing participants,” Broaddrick said. “These were crimes.” In a separate interview, Broaddrick shared her own story of brutal sexual assault which she says Bill Clinton perpetrated against her.</p> <p>Willey called out NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell and CNN’s Jake Tapper by name, challenging them: “These are not infidelities. A rape is not an infidelity. These are crimes. Any other people would be in jail…</p> <p>“This is no longer about infidelities, indiscretions, girlfriends, sex, interns -- none of those. This is about a serial rapist, a predator, and his wife who has enabled his behavior all of these years.”</p> <p>Later in this interview, Jones, Willey, and Broaddrick expressed fear at how a potential President Hillary Clinton would use the power of her office.</p> <p>“It terrifies me and it should terrify all women,” Jones stated about Hillary’s presidential ambitions.</p> <p>“It should terrify all men and women,” Willey added. “She will annihilate any enemy. All of her enemies. Anybody who has spoken against her. Across the board for I don’t know how many years. She will get rid of them.”</p> <p>“No woman who advocates for women attacks the victims of sexual assault be it by her husband or anybody else,” said Willey.</p> <p>The women argued that the term “enabler” best describes Hillary Clinton’s role in her husband’s alleged sexual crimes.</p> </q>
<p>Harvey Weinstein and Bill Clinton – sexual predators separated at birth. Hillary and Hollywood knew them and their activities full well and tolerated them for similar reasons. We should be appalled, if not shocked, at their craven hypocrisy as both have waged a sick and depraved and very real war on women.</p>

<p>Five score years ago, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln" type="external">a great American</a>, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the <a href="https://www.archives.gov/exhibits/featured-documents/emancipation-proclamation" type="external">Emancipation Proclamation</a>. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.</p>
<p>But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.</p>
<p>In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the <a href="http://americanrhetoric.com/speeches/declarationofindependence.htm" type="external">Declaration of Independence</a>, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."</p>
<p>But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.</p>
<p>We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.</p>
<p>It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.</p>
<p>But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.</p>
<p>The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.</p>
<p>We cannot walk alone.</p>
<p>And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.</p>
<p>We cannot turn back.</p>
<p>There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. **We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating: "For Whites Only."** We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."1</p>
<p>I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest -- quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.</p>
<p>Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.</p>
<p>And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.</p>
<p>I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."</p>
<p>I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.</p>
<p>I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.</p>
<p>I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.</p>
<p>I have a dream today!</p>
<p>I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.</p>
<p>I have a dream today!</p>
<p>I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."2</p>
<p>This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.</p>
<p>With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.</p>
<p>And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:</p>
<q> <p>My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride, From every mountainside, let freedom ring!</p> </q>
<p>And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.</p>
<p>And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.</p>
<q> <p>Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.</p> <p>Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.</p> <p>Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.</p> <p>Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.</p> </q>
<p>But not only that:</p>
<q> <p>Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.</p> <p>Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.</p> <p>Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.</p> <p>From every mountainside, let freedom ring.</p> </q>
<p>And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:</p>
<q> <q> <p>Free at last! Free at last!</p> <p>Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!3</p> </q> </q>

<p>Hillary Clinton crawled back into the spotlight once again to lob attacks at Donald Trump.</p>
<p>She lost her mind over his speech at the U.N. General Assembly where he tagged Kim Jong Un with the nickname “Rocket Man.”</p>
<p>But Trump fired back and destroyed both Bill and Hillary Clinton with one tweet.</p>
<p>During Trump’s speech, he declared Kim Jon Un – whom he labeled as “Rocket Man” – was on a suicide mission by continuing to develop nuclear weapons.</p>
<p>Trump said the United States would destroy North Korea if they threatened America or her allies.</p>

<p>But not everyone was pleased.</p>
<p>Hillary Clinton appeared at one of her safe spaces – Stephen Colbert’s late night comedy show – and attacked the speech as “dark” and “dangerous”.</p>

<p>Trump immediately fired back.</p>
<p>He pointed out he was only in this dangerous situation because of the Clintons.</p>

<p>Trump correctly noted that in 1994, then-President Bill Clinton made a deal with the North Koreans where they obtained fuel and nuclear power plants in exchange for freezing their weapons program.</p>
<p>The deal failed and North Korea gained the wherewithal to develop nuclear missiles.</p>
<p>Hillary Clinton – as Secretary of State – presided over Barack Obama’s policy of “strategic patience.”</p>
<p>This amounted to doing nothing and hoping someone else would clean up the mess.</p>
<p>Now that Trump is taking steps to correct the Clintons errors, they are heckling him from the peanut gallery.</p>

<q> <p>TONIGHT on <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LSSC?src=hash" type="external">#LSSC</a>: Before getting into the 2016 election, <a href="https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton" type="external">@HillaryClinton</a> reviews <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WhatHappened?src=hash" type="external">#WhatHappened</a> in <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump" type="external">@realDonaldTrump</a>'s <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/UNGA?src=hash" type="external">#UNGA</a> speech today… <a href="https://t.co/AguyWYMnH8" type="external">pic.twitter.com/AguyWYMnH8</a></p> <p>— The Late Show (@colbertlateshow) <a href="https://twitter.com/colbertlateshow/status/910288546472247296" type="external">September 19, 2017</a></p> </q>
<p>Trump immediately fired back.</p>
<p>He pointed out he was only in this dangerous situation because of the Clintons.</p>
<q> <p>After allowing North Korea to research and build Nukes while Secretary of State (Bill C also), Crooked Hillary now criticizes.</p> <p>— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/910453612630900736" type="external">September 20, 2017</a></p> </q>
<p>Trump correctly noted that in 1994, then-President Bill Clinton made a deal with the North Koreans where they obtained fuel and nuclear power plants in exchange for freezing their weapons program.</p>
<p>The deal failed and North Korea gained the wherewithal to develop nuclear missiles.</p>
<p>Hillary Clinton – as Secretary of State – presided over Barack Obama’s policy of “strategic patience.”</p>
<p>This amounted to doing nothing and hoping someone else would clean up the mess.</p>
<p>Now that Trump is taking steps to correct the Clintons errors, they are heckling him from the peanut gallery.</p>"

<p>A Muslim man was shocked to have his request for a judge to acknowledge Sharia law denied in court.</p>
<p>Nadir Ibrahim Ombabi, a Minnesota taxi driver, was killed in a car accident. Following his passing, legal proceedings began to determine a settlement for his spouse or surviving family.</p>
<p>A wrongful death suit was filed, in which Ombabi's estate was rewarded $183,000 to go to his wife.</p>
<p>Ombabi's brother, Hasameldin Ibrahim Imbabi, subsequently disputed the ruling on the grounds that the money should be distributed to his family in accordance with Sharia law. One of the specifics of that argument was that the men should receive "twice the share of the female."</p>
<p>"[The brother] further asserts that “the principles of the private international law should have been applied from the beginning since the law of all parties (the decedent, his widow and decedent[‘s] next of kin) is the Islamic Law and they are all Muslims and follow the specifics of the religion.” … [The brother’s] main assertion of error appears to be that the district court should have applied Sudanese Islamic law instead of Minnesota law when distributing the wrongful-death settlement proceeds…. [He] also asserts that the district court erred by refusing to honor a legal declaration issued by the Sudanese Family Court in Khartoum regarding distribution of the wrongful-death settlement proceeds under Sudanese Islamic law," court documents stated, the Washington Post reported.</p>
<p>The judge, however, denied the man's argument due to lack of legal representation and specious arguments.</p>
<p>Many reader applauded the judge's decision to reject Sharia law.</p>
<p>"Muslim man has no grounds to stand on with that, Sharia Law has NO place in this country ... these people need to get it through their thick skull that the US Constitution which is law of our land and Sharia Law does not and cannot co-exist in our land!" one Newsiosity reader commented on the site's Facebook page.</p>

<p>President Trump responded to reports that special counsel Robert Mueller is about to indict people in his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election by pointing the finger at Democrats.</p>
<p>Trump said the investigation into whether his campaign colluded with the Kremlin is “phony,” “bad for our country,” a “witch hunt,” and “evil politics.”</p>
<p>He added the news that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid for the unverified dossier alleging scandalous behavior by Trump has united Republicans.</p>
<p>“Never seen such Republican ANGER &amp; UNITY as I have concerning the lack of investigation on Clinton made Fake Dossier (now $12,000,000?), the Uranium to Russia deal, the 33,000 plus deleted Emails, the Comey fix and so much more,” Trump tweeted.</p>
<p>“Instead they look at phony Trump/Russia, ‘collusion,’ which doesn't exist. The Dems are using this terrible (and bad for our country) Witch Hunt for evil politics, but the R's are now fighting back like never before. There is so much GUILT by Democrats/Clinton, and now the facts are pouring out. DO SOMETHING!”</p>
<p>The $12 million figure refers to the amount of money Clinton’s campaign paid to Perkins and Cole, a law firm that then paid Fusion GPS to do opposition research on Trump. Fusion GPS then paid former British spy Christopher Steele, who authored the dossier on Trump that was released shortly before the inauguration.</p>
<p>It’s not clear if all $12 million the Clinton campaign paid to the law firm went toward funding the dossier.</p>
<p>Trump was also referring to a deal between an American company and a Russian government agency to purchase the company, which controlled about 20 percent of the country’s uranium supply.</p>
<p>Clinton’s State Department was one of nine government agencies that signed off on the purchase, and that decision has come under new scrutiny after revelations that the FBI was investigating if Russians were trying to gain influence in the American uranium industry.</p>
<p>Later on, Trump added the new focus on the Russia investigation is likely a distraction from the Republican push for tax reform.</p>
<p>"All of this 'Russia' talk right when the Republicans are making their big push for historic Tax Cuts &amp; Reform. Is this coincidental? NOT!" Trump tweeted.</p>

<a type="internal" /> Huma Abedin, an aide to Hillary Clinton, at a Women for Hillary event at West Los Angeles College on June 3, 2016, in Culver City, Calif. An article by the Daily Caller says Abedin forwarded some government passwords to her private Yahoo email account in 2009, when Clinton was secretary of state. Yahoo was hacked in 2013, which affected all 3 billion of its accounts. [Irfan Khan | Los Angeles Times via TNS]
<p>WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump made his first "Crooked Hillary" Twitter post less than 48 hours into the new year Tuesday, accusing a former Clinton aide of "disregarding basic security protocols," and calling his own Justice Department a "deep state."</p>
<p>"Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aid, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols," he wrote. "She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents. Remember sailors pictures on submarine? Jail! Deep State Justice Dept must finally act? Also on Comey &amp; others"</p>
<p>Attacking his former Democratic opponent from the 2016 presidential election and taking aim at his own Justice Department struck familiar tones for the new year. Almost 14 months after the 2016 presidential election, Trump has kept up a regular drumbeat of attacks on Clinton. Last year, Trump also criticized the Justice Department and Attorney General Jeff Sessions for not pursing investigations of his political opponents.</p>
<p>Tuesday morning’s Twitter post followed <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2018/01/01/abedin-forwarded-state-passwords-to-yahoo-before-it-was-hacked-by-foreign-agents/" type="external">an article in the Daily Caller,</a> a conservative publication that Trump closely monitors. The article said Abedin forwarded some government passwords to her private Yahoo email account in 2009, when Clinton was secretary of state. Yahoo was hacked in 2013, which affected all 3 billion of its accounts. After the breach, the data was offered for sale by a hacking collective based in Eastern Europe.</p>
<p>Trump also implored his administration to investigate Abedin. The term "deep state" typically refers to a shadow government of agency officials who secretly plot to influence policy; they are usually associated with countries that have authoritarian elements that undercut democratically elected leaders.</p>
<p>On Friday, the State Department released about 3,000 of Abedin’s work-related emails. The emails were found on the laptop of Abedin’s now estranged husband, Anthony Weiner, and were released as part of a public records request.</p>
<p>The emails found on Weiner’s computer are a sore spot for Clinton. James Comey, the former FBI director, had notified Congress shortly before the 2016 election about the existence of newly discovered emails that could be relevant to the closed investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of state.</p>
<p>Clinton, in a book released last year, said Comey’s October 2016 disclosure hurt her campaign’s momentum and helped Trump win the election.</p>
<p>In his Twitter post, Trump also referred to the case of a Navy sailor who was jailed for taking pictures inside a military submarine. According to a report in Fox News, the sailor had hoped to receive a pardon from the president, but has not.</p>
