(snip) In an April 5, 2016 interview with the FBI, Abedin was shown an email exchange between Clinton and Obama, but the longtime Clinton aide did not recognize the name of the sender.
Donald Trump committed perjury. Or he looked into the faces of the Republican faithful and knowingly lied. There is no third option. It has become an accepted reality of this presidential campaign that Trump spins a near-endless series of falsehoods. For months, the media has struggled with this unprecedented situation—a candidate who, unlike other politicians who stretch the truth, simply creates his own reality. Trumps regularly peddles “facts” that aren’t true, describes events that never happened or denies engaging in actions that everyone saw him do. He utters his falsehoods so fast that before reporters have the chance to correct
Actor Isaiah Washington is calling on African-Americans to protest the recent killings of black men by police in a very different way. Washington took to Facebook on Tuesday to suggest that African-Americans across the United States boycott showing up for work on Monday to show that black lives matter in the wake of recent police brutality. "Imagine if every single African American in the United States that was really fed up with being angry, sad and disgusted, would pick ONE DAY to simply ´stay at home´ from every single job, work site, sports arena and government office in the United
He may play for the rival NFL team across the Bay, but Colin Kaepernick was more than happy to lend some inspiring words to an Oakland high school football team. Just as he has for every one of his own games, Kaepernick sat on the sidelines as the national anthem played before the game at Castlemont High on Friday. But what the young team did as the Star-Spangled Banner played was even more powerful. Each teen laid on their backs, their arms raised to the sky. Scroll down for video (Photos) A picture of the teens´ die-in protest was captured by
When Dr. Lisa Bardack was asked to become Hillary Clinton’s personal physician in 2001, it had to have been a crowning moment in the career of the Mt. Kisco internist. Dr. Bardack could have anticipated little downside. She already had the responsibility -- and legal obligation under HIPAA -- to protect the privacy of her patient. She and her staff would have to be especially scrupulous in the case of a senator with presidential ambitions, but this should not have posed a serious problem. Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton corrupts everyone who serves her. And this year Bardack encountered difficulties she could not
Hillary Clinton plans to "get under Donald Trump´s skin" and provoke him into losing his temper in front of 100 million people at the first US presidential debate, but experts warned the strategy could backfire if she descends to her opponent´s level. Rather than focusing on policy Mrs Clinton´s campaign has decided to turn the epic showdown on Monday night into a referendum on Mr Trump´s temperament and character, hoping to goad him into an outburst that will make him look "unhinged," her allies said. Any wild reaction by the Republican nominee, who has a history of responding explosively to
A majority of voters say Donald Trump would allow the U.S. to default on its debt and that he would misuse the power of the presidency to punish his political opponents. And nearly half of voters — 46 percent — say the GOP nominee would use a nuclear weapon to attack ISIS or another foreign enemy. Those are the findings of a new poll conducted by SurveyMonkey on behalf of the Lincoln Leadership Initiative, a new group helmed by prominent Republican critics of the New York billionaire who are advocating for the Republican Party to dump Trump and return to its “foundational
Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to bring a woman that Bill Clinton had an extramarital affair when he debates Hillary Clinton. “If dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Jennifer Flowers right alongside of him!” Trump tweeted Saturday. Bill Clinton testified under oath in 1998 that he had a sexual affair with Gennifer Flowers. Trump was responding to billionaire Mark Cuban, a Hillary Clinton supporter who frequently slams Trump. Cuban on Thrursday said he accepted an invitation from Clinton to sit in the front row at Monday’s presidential debate.
Bruce Springsteen has described Donald Trump as an embarrassment to the United States, saying the Republican presidential candidate is a demagogue with simple solutions. Springsteen, who has dramatised the plight of working-class Americans in his music, said he understands how Trump could seem "compelling" to people who are economically insecure. (Snip) "I don´t think he´s going to win, but even him running is a great embarrassment if you´re an American," he said. Trump knows how to tell voters "some of the things they want to hear," he added, including to people "uncomfortable with the browning of America."
The recent deterioration of George Soros’s public image has been astonishing. Following coverage of his subversive operations across the world – including his efforts to destabilise Poland – now even the establishment media have picked up on his destructive activities, with Bloomberg recently covering his plan to marginalise Israel. Similarly, the list of Soros’s safe havens has also been shrinking dramatically. Until recently, out of all the EU countries, only his native Hungary had the courage to suggest his carefully crafted image of ‘global philanthropist’ may be a smoke screen.
Ted Cruz, the most prominent resistance to Donald Trump since his remarks in Cleveland, endorsed Donald Trump today in a Facebook post. “I’ve made this decision for two reasons. First, last year, I promised to support the Republican nominee. And I intend to keep my word. Second, even though I have had areas of significant disagreement with our nominee, by any measure Hillary Clinton is wholly unacceptable — that’s why I have always been #NeverHillary.” It’s a lengthy statement, as is fitting of Cruz’s linguistic approach – he goes on to list six different policy disagreements between Clinton and Trump
There is no sugarcoating Michelle Obama´s venomous response to a question from Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night. At the same time black mobs were beating up innocent white people in Charlotte, North Carolina, showing no mercy, Mrs. Obama, appearing on Colbert´s late night show, went after Melania Trump. (video)"No sympathy"? A more secure first lady would have said, "Yes, I have sympathy for the spouse of a presidential candidate. It´s a grueling experience." Then she should have stated she was flattered that Melania liked her speech enough to use a few lines. That´s a classy answer. But no such hope for
