Factbox: Republican U.S. senators to watch in the debate on the tax bill(Reuters) - Republican Senator Rand Paul said on Monday he will vote for a tax bill headed to the U.S. Senate floor for debate this week, settling questions about his support for the measure, although several other senators’ positions on it were still uncertain. President Donald Trump and Republican leaders in Congress want to pass tax legislation by the end of 2017. The House of Representatives has approved its own bill. Republicans control the Senate by a 52-48 margin, leaving little room for defections. Here is a list of Republicans whose votes could be pivotal to the bill’s fate. Paul, a fiscal hawk with a libertarian streak who sometimes strays from the party line, said on Monday he planned to vote for the tax bill, which was headed soon to the Senate floor. In a Fox News online opinion piece, Paul said the bill was not perfect and he would “prefer a larger cut,” but that he planned to back it because it achieved some of his goals and he could push for more changes next year. “I plan to vote for this bill as it stands right now,” wrote Paul, of Kentucky. Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin surprised colleagues earlier this month by becoming the first Republican to announce opposition to the tax plan. That earned him a telephone call from Trump. Johnson, formerly chief executive of a polyester and plastics manufacturer, said the legislation unfairly helps corporations over small businesses. But he has said he hopes changes could be made to win his support. Susan Collins, a moderate Maine Republican, has said she has qualms about Senate leaders’ plan to include repeal of the Obamacare individual mandate in the tax bill. The mandate requires people to buy health insurance or face a penalty. Collins said her staff’s research showed that for some middle-class Americans, higher insurance costs stemming from repeal of the individual mandate would outweigh the benefits of the tax cuts they would receive. She was among three Republicans who voted in July to block a Republican attempt to dismantle Obamacare, former Democratic President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law. Senator Bob Corker, a Trump critic who has decided not to run for re-election, has not taken a position on the tax bill. As a deficit hawk, Corker’s main concern is red ink - the tax bill is expected to add $1.5 trillion to the national debt over 10 years. Corker and Trump have openly feuded in recent weeks, with Corker calling the White House an “adult day care center” after Trump attacked Corker repeatedly on Twitter. Senator John McCain of Arizona, a maverick and former presidential nominee, says he will wait for the final version of the tax-cut bill before announcing his position. The war hero infuriated Trump when he joined Collins and Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska in voting against the Senate bill last summer to repeal Obamacare. McCain, who is still working after a diagnosis of brain cancer, has said he has almost no working relationship with Trump and has criticized the administration. Murkowski of Alaska chairs the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and wants to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, or ANWR, to oil and gas drilling. That provides an enticement for her to support the tax bill. Her committee has passed legislation to open the refuge to oil drilling, and the measure is expected to be attached to the tax bill. But Murkowski voted against three attempts to dismantle Obamacare in the summer, so the combination of the tax bill with a repeal of the Obamacare individual mandate may give her pause. Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona, a vocal Trump critic who is not seeking re-election in 2018, has issued a statement saying he appreciated the effort to fix the tax code but was worried about the impact on the national debt. Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma, is a conservative Republican, like Flake. Lankford has been in talks with Flake and others about opposing the tax plan on the grounds that it would balloon the national deficit, Time magazine has reported. politicsNews | 1 | factor republican senators watch debate tax bill reuters republican senator rand paul said monday vote tax bill headed senate floor debate week settling questions support measure although several senators positions still uncertain president donald trump republican leaders congress want pass tax legislation end the house representatives approved bill republicans control senate margin leaving little room defection here list republicans whose votes could pivotal bill fate paul fiscal hawk libertarian streak sometimes stays party line said monday planned vote tax bill headed soon senate floor in fox news online opinion piece paul said bill perfect would prefer larger cut planned back achieved goals could push changes next year i plan vote bill stands right wrote paul kentucky senator ron johnson wisconsin surprised colleagues earlier month becoming first republican announce opposition tax plan that earned telephone call trump johnson formerly chief executive polyester plastics manufacturer said legislation unfairly helps corporations small businesses but said hopes changes could made win support susan collins moderate maine republican said qualms senate leaders plan include repeal obamacare individual mandate tax bill the mandate requires people buy health insurance face penalty collins said staff research showed americans higher insurance costs stemming repeal individual mandate would outweigh benefits tax cuts would receive she among three republicans voted july block republican attempt dismantle obamacare former democratic president barack obama signature healthcare law senator bob corner trump critic decided run taken position tax bill as deficit hawk corner main concern red ink tax bill expected add trillion national debt years corner trump openly feuded recent weeks corner calling white house adult day care center trump attacked corner repeatedly twitter senator john mccain arizona maverick former presidential nominee says wait final version bill announcing position the war hero infuriated trump joined collins senator lisa murkowski alaska voting senate bill last summer repeal obamacare mccain still working diagnosis brain cancer said almost working relationship trump criticized administration murkowski alaska chairs senate energy natural resources committee wants open arctic national wildlife refuge and oil gas drilling that provides enrichment support tax bill her committee passed legislation open refuge oil drilling measure expected attached tax bill but murkowski voted three attempts dismantle obamacare summer combination tax bill repeal obamacare individual mandate may give pause senator jeff flake arizona vocal trump critic seeking issued statement saying appreciated effort fix tax code worried impact national debt senator james landlord oklahoma conservative republican like flake landlord talks flake others opposing tax plan grounds would balloon national deficit time magazine reported politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

BREAKING: Biden Won’t Run…Is It Because Biden And Obama Can’t Risk Repercussions Of Exposing Hillary? [VIDEO]This announcement seems to indicate that the Obama regime already knows Hillary is going to be walking away unscathed from the Benghazi hearings tomorrow Fox News host Andrea Tantaros is pretty sure that Vice President Joe Biden announced on Wednesday that he will not run for president as part of an administration-wide plan to cover up the Benghazi scandal.During a discussion about Biden s decision not to enter the Democratic presidential primary on Outnumbered, Tantaros said that the timing of Biden s announcement was suspicious. But when you look at the two scandals that we re facing, that all eyes are going to be on tomorrow, Benghazi, and the email scandal these are administration-wide scandals. All three of them, President Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton were there that night. This is their scandal as well, she said. This email scandal is their scandal as well. There is no way, there is no chance, that Joe Biden, and President Obama, and their national security team did not know that she was using a private server, breaking the law. They are all in on this, and they are circling the wagons. I cannot stress this enough. This goes all the way to the West Wing, both Benghazi, and the email scandal, and you re watching it play out exactly today. The timing is not a coincidence! Tantaros continued.John Bolton, who served as the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. under President George W. Bush, agreed with Tantaros. This is an administration-wide problem because it wasn t just Hillary Clinton s failure on Sept. 11, 2012, it was the failure of the administration s world view, Bolton said. I really think this was careful political planning. I think they knew today was the right day to do it.

Rick Perry a leading candidate for U.S. energy post: sourceNEW YORK (Reuters) - Rick Perry, who proposed eliminating the U.S. Energy Department during his unsuccessful bid for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, has emerged as a leading candidate to head the agency under President-elect Donald Trump, a transition official said on Sunday. Democratic U.S. Senators Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Manchin of West Virginia also are in the running for the job as Trump continues to fill key positions in his administration ahead of taking office on Jan. 20, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Perry served as governor of Texas, a leading oil-producing state, from 2000 when he succeeded President George W. Bush until 2015. In his two unsuccessful presidential runs, he touted his record of job creation in the second-most-populous state. Perry’s proposal to scrap the Energy Department caused what has become known as his “oops” moment during a November 2011 debate when he could not remember the departments he wanted to eliminate. “It’s three agencies of government when I get there that are gone: commerce, education and the um, what’s the third one there? Let’s see,” Perry said. His debate adversaries tried to prod his memory, but Perry ultimately gave up, saying, “I can’t. The third one, I can’t. Sorry. Oops.” It was the Energy Department, which is responsible for U.S. energy policy and oversees the nation’s nuclear weapons program. Perry also ran for the 2016 presidential nomination against Trump but dropped out in September 2015 after gaining little traction. Perry initially was a fierce critic of Trump but later endorsed Trump and called him “the people’s choice.” In July 2015, Perry said: “Let no one be mistaken: Donald Trump’s candidacy is a cancer on conservatism, and it must be clearly diagnosed, excised and discarded.” If Perry gets the job, it would be further indication that the incoming Trump administration may be friendly toward the fossil fuel industry. Trump is set to pick U.S. Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, a climate-change skeptic and an advocate for expanded oil and gas development, to head the Interior Department. Trump’s pick for the Environmental Protection Agency is Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, an ardent opponent of President Barack Obama’s measures to curb climate change who has sued the EPA to block in a bid to undo a key regulation to curb greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from coal-fired power plants. And Trump is expected to name Rex Tillerson, chief executive of oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp, as secretary of state. politicsNews | 1 | rick perry leading candidate energy post sourcenew york reuters rick perry proposed eliminating energy department unsuccessful bid republican presidential nomination emerged leading candidate head agency donald trump transition official said sunday democratic senators held heitkamp north dakota joe machine west virginia also running job trump continues fill key positions administration ahead taking office according official spoke condition anonymity perry served governor texas leading state succeeded president george bush in two unsuccessful presidential runs touted record job creation state perry proposal scrap energy department caused become known oops moment november debate could remember departments wanted eliminate it three agencies government i get gone commerce education um third one let see perry said his debate adversaries tried prod memory perry ultimately gave saying i the third one i sorry it energy department responsible energy policy oversees nation nuclear weapons program perry also ran presidential nomination trump dropped september gaining little traction perry initially fierce critic trump later endorsed trump called people in july perry said let one mistaken donald trump candidacy cancer conservatism must clearly diagnosed excised if perry gets job would indication incoming trump administration may friendly toward fossil fuel industry trump set pick representative catchy morris rodgers skeptic advocate expanded oil gas development head interior department trump pick environmental protection agency oklahoma attorney general scott print ardent opponent president barack obama measures curb climate change sued epa block bid undo key regulation curb greenhouse gas emissions mainly power plants and trump expected name rex tillerson chief executive oil giant exon mobil corp secretary state politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Ron Paul Liberty Report: US-Saudi Arms Trafficking to Terrorists in SyriaBack in July, 21WIRE detailed the investigative work of Bulgarian journalist Dilyana Gaytandzhieva, and her report which exposed a US and Saudi Arabia-sponsored international weapons trafficking operation where arms purchased through third parties and ferried on diplomatic flights using Azerbaijan state-run airlines, Silkway Airlines. The illegal program was launched under President Barack Obama in 2012 and continues to this day under Donald Trump. Despite bountiful evidence, the western mainstream media has simply ignored and steered away from this story.

Trump is a ------: White House hopeful plays fill-in-the-blanks with votersNEW YORK (Reuters) - Donald Trump speaks volumes in what he doesn’t say. The Republican presidential hopeful often fails to finish his thoughts during his speeches, abruptly breaking off a sentence or substituting a vague word for a more precise one. Those half-finished sentences aren’t throwaways. They’re enthymemes, a rhetorical device at the heart of a persuasive speaking style that has helped catapult the billionaire to the top of national polls ahead of the November 2016 election. To his supporters, Trump is a politician who doesn’t sound like one: He says what he thinks, happily insults rivals and can appear unscripted, particularly when he leaves his thoughts to trail off unfinished or peppers sentences with ambiguities. Take his comments during a recent Republican debate in which he defended his call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States: “I talked about Muslims,” he said. “We have to have a temporary something, because there’s something going on that’s not good.” It was left up to the listener to decipher what Trump was saying. What this means in practice is that supporters can tailor his statements to their own beliefs, rhetoric professors said. It also allows Trump, consciously or not, to avoid boxing himself in with quotes that rivals can use against him. Strictly speaking an enthymeme is a form of argument in which at least one premise remains unstated. The concept isn’t new - it was described by the Greek philosopher Aristotle - and has been used in American politics in the past. In practice, enthymemes come in various forms, including dramatic pauses, unfinished sentences and the place-filling “somethings” Trump employs, according to the experts, who study U.S. public and political speech. In each case, listeners fill in the blanks. Trump has used enthymemes when taking on Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly and one-time rival Carly Fiorina; he has used them in describing his opposition to a New York City mosque; he routinely uses them in speeches when talking about subjects ranging from immigration to trade wars. In the case of Kelly, Trump, recounting a heated exchange between them during a televised debate, said she had “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her - wherever.” His statement caused a furor among many who concluded Trump had meant Kelly was menstruating and hormonal and therefore irrational. Trump denied it and supporters came to his defense, pointing out he had never spoken the words. Trump’s habit of leaving listeners to fill in the blanks isn’t new; it’s apparent in recorded interviews done well before his presidential bid. And it’s not clear whether he does it consciously. His spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, called it a symptom of a racing mind. “People have said Mr. Trump’s speeches are like a game of chess - an intricate web of great genius,” she said. Enthymemes can have a potent effect on listeners, said Baylor University rhetoric professor Martin Medhurst. “You have involved them psychologically and helped to persuade them by having them persuade themselves.” But the rhetorical device carries risks, especially in instances where the unfinished thought is so vague that listeners can complete it with either a positive or a negative statement. In a Jan. 29 speech, for example, Trump described his views that China is exploiting the United States. “They’ve taken our jobs, they’ve taken our base, they’ve taken our money, and I love China, they get along great with me, I told you I have all these people, I do business with China, they agree with me. They can’t —.” A clip of the statement was shown by Reuters to a group of students in a public policy class at New York’s Hunter College, who disagreed among themselves about what Trump’s next words would have been. One student, Alexandre Alvalade Ximenes, a freshman studying political science and philosophy, completed Trump’s unfinished thought this way: “They can’t believe how intellectually inferior we are.” Another, Matthew Locastro, also a political science major, filled in the blank with, “There’s no way they can disagree with him because of his working relationship with them.” Trump isn’t alone in using enthymemes to effect. In an interview last September with Rolling Stone, Trump mocked the looks of Fiorina. “Look at that face. Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?” To some listeners, Trump was communicating that he thought Fiorina was ugly. Trump later denied he meant that. Fiorina responded with her own enthymeme: “I think women all over this country heard very clearly what Mr. Trump said.” politicsNews | 1 | trump white house hopeful plays votersnew york reuters donald trump speaks volumes say the republican presidential hopeful often fails finish thoughts speeches abruptly breaking sentence substituting vague word precise one those sentences throwaway they enthymemes rhetorical device heart persuasive speaking style helped catapult billionaire top national polls ahead november election to supporters trump politician sound like one he says thinks happily insults rivals appear scripted particularly leaves thoughts trail unfinished peppers sentences ambiguities take comments recent republican debate defended call temporary ban muslims entering united states i talked muslims said we temporary something something going it left listener decipher trump saying what means practice supporters tailor statements beliefs rhetoric professors said it also allows trump consciously avoid boxing quotes rivals use strictly speaking enthymeme form argument least one premise remains unseated the concept new described greek philosopher aristotle used american politics past in practice enthymemes come various forms including dramatic pauses unfinished sentences something trump employs according experts study public political speech in case listeners fill blanks trump used enthymemes taking fox news anchor megan kelly rival carly firing used describing opposition new york city mosque routinely uses speeches talking subjects ranging immigration trade wars in case kelly trump recounting heated exchange televised debate said blood coming eyes blood coming his statement caused juror among many concluded trump meant kelly menstruating hormonal therefore irrational trump denied supporters came defense pointing never spoken words trump habit leaving listeners fill blanks new apparent recorded interviews done well presidential bid and clear whether consciously his spokeswoman hope hicks called symptom racing mind people said trump speeches like game chess intricate web great genius said enthymemes potent effect listeners said taylor university rhetoric professor martin medhurst you involved psychologically helped persuade persuade but rhetorical device carries risks especially instances unfinished thought vague listeners complete either positive negative statement in speech example trump described views china exploiting united states they taken jobs taken base taken money i love china get along great i told i people i business china agree they a clip statement shown reuters group students public policy class new york hunter college disagreed among trump next words would one student alexander alcalde ximenes freshman studying political science philosophy completed trump unfinished thought way they believe intellectually inferior another matthew locator also political science major filled blank there way disagree working relationship trump alone using enthymemes effect in interview last september rolling stone trump mocked looks firing look face would anyone vote can imagine face next president to listeners trump communicating thought firing ugly trump later denied meant firing responded enthymeme i think women country heard clearly trump politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

TEXT: Trump is a ------: White House hopeful plays fill-in-the-blanks with votersNEW YORK (Reuters) - Donald Trump speaks volumes in what he doesn’t say. The Republican presidential hopeful often fails to finish his thoughts during his speeches, abruptly breaking off a sentence or substituting a vague word for a more precise one. Those half-finished sentences aren’t throwaways. They’re enthymemes, a rhetorical device at the heart of a persuasive speaking style that has helped catapult the billionaire to the top of national polls ahead of the November 2016 election. To his supporters, Trump is a politician who doesn’t sound like one: He says what he thinks, happily insults rivals and can appear unscripted, particularly when he leaves his thoughts to trail off unfinished or peppers sentences with ambiguities. Take his comments during a recent Republican debate in which he defended his call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States: “I talked about Muslims,” he said. “We have to have a temporary something, because there’s something going on that’s not good.” It was left up to the listener to decipher what Trump was saying. What this means in practice is that supporters can tailor his statements to their own beliefs, rhetoric professors said. It also allows Trump, consciously or not, to avoid boxing himself in with quotes that rivals can use against him. Strictly speaking an enthymeme is a form of argument in which at least one premise remains unstated. The concept isn’t new - it was described by the Greek philosopher Aristotle - and has been used in American politics in the past. In practice, enthymemes come in various forms, including dramatic pauses, unfinished sentences and the place-filling “somethings” Trump employs, according to the experts, who study U.S. public and political speech. In each case, listeners fill in the blanks. Trump has used enthymemes when taking on Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly and one-time rival Carly Fiorina; he has used them in describing his opposition to a New York City mosque; he routinely uses them in speeches when talking about subjects ranging from immigration to trade wars. In the case of Kelly, Trump, recounting a heated exchange between them during a televised debate, said she had “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her - wherever.” His statement caused a furor among many who concluded Trump had meant Kelly was menstruating and hormonal and therefore irrational.

Macron sees February end to fight against Islamic State in SyriaPARIS (Reuters) - The military campaign against Islamic State in Syria should be completed in February following the end of fighting against the militant group in Iraq, French President Emmanuel Macron said. On December 9, Iraqi Prime Minister (Haider al-) Abadi announced the end of the war and the victory over Daesh, and I think that by mid- to late February we will have won the war in Syria, Macron said in a broadcast interview, using the Arab acronym for Islamic State. France would now push for peace talks involving all parties in the six-year-old Syrian conflict, including President Bashar al-Assad, Macron told France 2 televisions, promising initiatives early next year. He did not say how any French proposals would relate to existing negotiations being brokered by the United Nations. Despite being a leading backer of the Syrian opposition, France has sought a more pragmatic approach to the Syrian conflict since the arrival of President Emmanuel Macron, saying that the departure of al-Assad was not a pre-condition for talks. Assad s government has been backed by Russia and Iran. President Vladimir Putin last week announced a significant scaling back of Russian forces in Syria, saying their mission was largely complete. worldnews | 1 | macron sees february end fight islamic state syriaparis reuters the military campaign islamic state syria completed february following end fighting militant group iraq french president emmanuel macron said on december iraqi prime minister harder bad announced end war victory dash i think late february war syria macron said broadcast interview using arab acronym islamic state france would push peace talks involving parties syrian conflict including president basal macron told france televisions promising initiatives early next year he say french proposals would relate existing negotiations brokered united nations despite leading backer syrian opposition france sought pragmatic approach syrian conflict since arrival president emmanuel macron saying departure talks assad government backed russia iran president vladimir putin last week announced significant scaling back russian forces syria saying mission largely complete worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

In this moment of great anxiety, I want to make it clear: There is no alternative to the two-state solution. There is no Plan B, he told reporters.

DERANGED LEFTISTS Cross The Line: Chicago Play Targeting 10 Yr Old Barron Trump Opens Tonight In Obama’s Old NeighborhoodA play scheduled to open Saturday night in Chicago targets Barron Trump, the ten-year-old son of newly sworn in President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.The play, titled, Barron Trump Up Past Bedtime , stars comedian Shannon Noll as Barron and is set for the Revival Theater in Hyde Park, the neighborhood of Trump s predecessor former President Barack Obama. Melania Trump will also be targeted in character on stage. But the main target, of course, is President Trump.After eight years of presidential children being off limits (to the point news articles about them disappeared after White House warnings), they are fair game now that a Republican is president. A headline about the play at the Chicago Reader makes that very point about young Barron Trump being fair game : Barron Trump is fair game in Barron Trump: Up Past BedtimeThe Revival Theater s description of the play: Join Donald Trump s youngest heir Barron Trump (as played by Shannon Noll) for a Pee Wee s Playhouse-style show that features celebrity guests (Melania Trump, Ben Carson, and Vladimir Putin) patriotic games (Pin the Email on the Clinton), and fancy fun! The Chicago Reader interviewed Noll about the play. Noll says her approach is decidedly lighthearted: an exploration of the current political moment through the eyes of a child enmeshed in it. When I set out to do this show, I did it to use [Barron] as a vehicle to comment on this administration, Noll says. She was initially inspired to take on the title role due to her resemblance to the youngest Trump, who stepped into the spotlight when he appeared to struggle to stay awake during his father s presidential victory speech, which occurred at around 3 AM.Up Past Bedtime begins as Melania Trump tucks Barron in for the night. He then secretly stays awake to explore a fantastical world, a la Pee-wee s Playhouse, populated by the likes of Vladimir Putin and Ben Carson.Noll told the Chicago Tribune that Barron Trump is absolutely not the butt of a joke. I noticed that I looked like Barron Trump and I thought that would be an interesting approach, she said. She has brought on collaborators who will perform solo material (the aforementioned imaginary friends) and I m facilitating that as Barron Trump as master of ceremonies. Barron Trump is absolutely not the butt of a joke, she said.Asked if she had any second thoughts about going ahead with the show, Noll said, No, I sort of doubled-down. I was originally going to create a fake Trump child, but I look so much like Barron. And going into this, I specifically created this character so that he bears no resemblance in personality to what we ve seen of Barron Trump. I m just playing him as a generic kid.

Some Republican senators who have been critical of the plan warned that some middle-income taxpayers could see tax cuts wiped out by higher health insurance premiums if the repeal of the Affordable Care Act’s mandate goes through. “If we can repeal part of Obamacare as part of a tax bill ... that can pass, that’s great,” Mulvaney said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. “If it becomes an impediment to getting the best tax bill we can, then we are OK with taking it out.” politicsNews | 1 | white house ok removing obamacare mandate repeal senate tax billwashington reuters president donald trump would object removing provision senate republican tax plan would repeal obamacare mandate becomes impediment white house budget director mick mulvaney said sunday some republican senators critical plan warned taxpayers could see tax cuts wiped higher health insurance premiums repeal affordable care act mandate goes if repeal part obamacare part tax bill pass great mulvaney said cnn state union sunday if becomes impediment getting best tax bill ok taking politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Killing of Mexican prosecutor of crimes against women sparks outcryMEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The European Union on Thursday condemned the killing of a female Mexican prosecutor who specialized in violence against women, as the country grapples with its worst murder rate in two decades, including a spate of attacks on rights workers and reporters. Yendi Guadalupe Torres Castellanos, a prosecutor in the state of Veracruz whose remit included violence against women as well as sexual and family-related crimes, was killed Monday in her car in the city of Panuco, according to the state government. This murder demonstrates once more the troubling level of violence that devastates Mexico, including violence against human rights defenders, the EU s Mexican delegation said in a joint statement with Swiss and Norwegian ambassadors. Earlier this month, unknown gunmen shot dead Silvestre de la Toba, the head of the Baja California Sur state human rights commission. And, after a spate of killings of reporters, a United Nations team of experts on freedom of expression is currently visiting Mexico to assess the safety of journalists. Torres death was also denounced by the Veracruz government, the U.N. Commission on Human Rights and the U.S. ambassador to Mexico. October was the most violent since the Mexican government began tracking such crimes two decades ago. The 2,735 homicides of women last year was the second-highest figure of any year since 1990, and more than double the number recorded a decade ago, according to data published by Mexico s national statistics agency. worldnews | 1 | killing mexican prosecutor crimes women sparks outcrymexico city reuters the european union thursday condemned killing female mexican prosecutor specialized violence women country grapes worst murder rate two decades including spate attacks rights workers reporters yeni guadalupe torres castellanos prosecutor state veracruz whose remit included violence women well sexual crimes killed monday car city panic according state government this murder demonstrates troubling level violence devastated mexico including violence human rights defenders eu mexican delegation said joint statement swiss norwegian ambassadors earlier month unknown gunmen shot dead silvestre de la tuba head baja california sur state human rights commission and spate killings reporters united nations team experts freedom expression currently visiting mexico assess safety journalists torres death also denounced veracruz government commission human rights ambassador mexico october violent since mexican government began tracking crimes two decades ago the homicides women last year figure year since double number recorded decade ago according data published mexico national statistics agency worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

The Russia Investigation’s Special Counsel Just Made Trump’s Problems A Whole Lot WorseFirst, he impaneled a grand jury. Then the grand jury began issuing subpoenas. Now, investigators working for Special Counsel Robert Mueller have issued an official request for White House documents pertaining to the Russia investigation. Specifically, they re looking for things related to Michael Flynn, Russia, and Turkey. The requests aren t subpoenas, but they could become subpoenas if the White House refuses to hand them over.Investigators are interested in payments that Flynn received for speeches given to Russian companies. Flynn s financial disclosure forms initially didn t include the payments from the Russian companies, and he had to file an amended version with those payments later on.Gee, it almost looks like he tried to hide his contacts with anyone Russian, just like Jared Kushner and Jeff Sessions.But Mueller s team is also looking into Trump s own financial ties with Russia, and other possible financial crimes on Trump s part, too. Trump tried to intimidate Mueller on that front, warning him not to go that far and to keep the investigation s focus on Russian collusion. Mueller has, more or less, told Trump to go screw himself. Trump s outside counsel says that they ll resist anything from Mueller s office that goes beyond the mandate specified in the appointment. Oh, please. That positively reeks of fear. It s also further evidence that the Trump administration doesn t believe that the Department of Justice or any agency within it should be independent of the White House.The FBI is also interested in a $530,000 payment made to the Flynn Intel Group for work on discrediting an opponent of the Turkish government. They re looking to see if the Turkish government was behind those payments, or if it really was a private deal between Flynn s company and a Turkish American businessman. They ve begun questioning people on this very thing, too.It s not illegal to be paid by foreign governments. It is illegal to fail to register as a foreign agent while taking those payments. Flynn s registration as a foreign agent only happened after his company s work with Turkey was revealed.The fear is there and it s real. Mueller has cast a very wide net and it s beginning to catch some fish. Trump s 17-day vacation has a dark cloud over it, as does the White House.Featured image via Chris Kleponis-Pool/Getty ImagesNews | 0 | the russia investigation special counsel just made trump problems a whole lot worsefirst impaled grand jury then grand jury began issuing subpoena now investigators working special counsel robert mueller issued official request white house documents pertaining russia investigation specifically looking things related michael flynn russia turkey the requests subpoena could become subpoena white house refuses hand interested payments flynn received speeches given russian companies flynn financial disclosure forms initially include payments russian companies file amended version payments later almost looks like tried hide contacts anyone russian like jared pusher jeff mueller team also looking trump financial ties russia possible financial crimes trump part trump tried intimidate mueller front warning go far keep investigation focus russian collusion mueller less told trump go screw trump outside counsel says resist anything mueller office goes beyond mandate specified appointment oh please that positively weeks fear it also evidence trump administration believe department justice agency within independent white fbi also interested payment made flynn intel group work discrediting opponent turkish government they looking see turkish government behind payments really private deal flynn company turkish american businessman they begun questioning people thing illegal paid foreign governments it illegal fail register foreign agent taking payments flynn registration foreign agent happened company work turkey fear real mueller cast wide net beginning catch fish trump vacation dark cloud white image via chris imagenes | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Trips Force Secret Service To Divert Crime-Fighting Funds To Pay For More SecurityDespite repeatedly claiming that he will be tough on crime, Donald Trump s weekend escapades to Mar-a-Lago are literally forcing the Secret Service to do less crime-fighting.The Secret Service does not merely exist to protect presidents and their families. They perform other duties as well that keep America safe such as busting currency counterfeiters, searching for missing and exploited children, and cybercrimes.But instead of doing that part of the job, the Secret Service is being forced to abandon those responsibilities in order to spend more time and money on presidential security. And it s all because Trump refuses to stop going to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach every single freaking weekend.According to the Washington Post, the Secret Service asked for an additional $60 million for their budget to fund security for Trump Tower in New York City because Melania Trump refuses to move into the White House. The extra funding would also go towards the security requirements necessary for when Trump goes to Florida to play golf.But the White House budget office denied the request. You know, because Trump actually doesn t give a shit about fighting crime.So the Secret Service is being forced to cut funding from their criminal investigation wing, which will likely lead to a rise in those criminal activities because the Secret Service won t be able to do their job effectively.Trump s vacations to Mar-a-Lago costs taxpayers $3 million every weekend and so far, Trump has only stayed in Washington one weekend since taking the oath of office. In fact, it was the weekend after taking the oath that Trump chose not to go to Palm Beach.Speaking of Palm Beach, despite promising to create jobs, Trump s frequent visits to Mar-a-Lago on the taxpayer s dime is taking a toll on local businesses there because all the extra security measures are causing businesses to lose money. Local taxpayers have also had to spend money on extra security for Trump, which has forced the Palm Beach city council to consider a measure that would slap a tax on Trump to help reimburse the city.And at the rate Trump is going back and forth between Washington and Palm Beach, he will likely force the Secret Service to blow their entire budget well before the next fiscal year commences. Trump is on pace to take more vacation days in one year than President Obama did in eight, and Trump s vacation time will cost taxpayers even more.So not only are taxpayers losing money, the American people are losing a crucial element of our ability to fight crime in this country. Not only can counterfeit money flow to fund multiple criminal endeavors, it can hurt the economy by flooding it with too much currency and would hurt the reputation of the dollar. If other nations and businesses can t trust the authenticity of our money, the whole system could suffer greatly.Perhaps the Secret Service would be better off choosing to not protect Trump so much. After all, he s the one making their job more difficult than it should be. And frankly, if Trump wants more Secret Service protection he should have to pay for it himself if he continues to insist that he be a part-time president.Featured image via Chip Somodevilla/Getty ImagesNews | 0 | trump trips force secret service to divert funds to pay for more securitydespite repeatedly claiming tough crime donald trump weekend escapes literally forcing secret service less secret service merely exist protect presidents families they perform duties well keep america safe busting currency counterfeiters searching missing exploited children instead part job secret service forced abandon responsibilities order spend time money presidential security and trump refuses stop going resort palm beach every single breaking washington post secret service asked additional million budget fund security trump tower new york city melanie trump refuses move white house the extra funding would also go towards security requirements necessary trump goes florida play white house budget office denied request you know trump actually give shit fighting secret service forced cut funding criminal investigation wing likely lead rise criminal activities secret service able job vacations costs taxpayers million every weekend far trump stayed washington one weekend since taking oath office in fact weekend taking oath trump chose go palm palm beach despite promising create jobs trump frequent visits taxpayer dime taking toll local businesses extra security measures causing businesses lose money local taxpayers also spend money extra security trump forced palm beach city council consider measure would slap tax trump help reimburse rate trump going back forth washington palm beach likely force secret service blow entire budget well next fiscal year commences trump pace take vacation days one year president obama eight trump vacation time cost taxpayers even taxpayers losing money american people losing crucial element ability fight crime country not counterfeit money flow fund multiple criminal endeavors hurt economy flooding much currency would hurt reputation dollar if nations businesses trust authenticity money whole system could suffer secret service would better choosing protect trump much after one making job difficult and frankly trump wants secret service protection pay continues insist image via chip imagenes | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Senator urges U.S. airlines to cap fares for people fleeing MariaWASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senator Bill Nelson sent letters to the chief executives of 10 major U.S.-based airlines on Monday, urging them to cap airline fares for passengers fleeing Hurricane Maria so that confusion over cost does not delay evacuations, an aide said. I urge you to begin the process now for implementing capped airfare, Nelson said in his letter, noting that Maria is already a major hurricane. Individuals and families should not be forced to delay or cancel their evacuation efforts because of confusion over the cost of airfare. worldnews | 1 | senator urges airlines cap fares people fleeing mariawashington reuters senator bill nelson sent letters chief executives major airlines monday urging cap airline fares passengers fleeing hurricane maria confusion cost delay evacuations aide said i urge begin process implementing capped airdate nelson said letter noting maria already major hurricane individuals families forced delay cancel evacuation efforts confusion cost airdate worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

New Texas GOP Chair’s Twitter Feed Is Most INSANE Thing You Will Read All YearThere are a lot of crazy Republicans out there. Trump supporters, Alex Jones disciples, hell Alex Jones himself. But then there is the one who might be the pinnacle of clinically insane Republicans and that is Robert Morrow.Morrow is the brand new chair of the Republican Party in Travis County, Texas, where the state capitol of Austin is located. Sounds like an important guy. Right?You might think that he is some party insider with a track record of qualifications for such an important position in what is such a traditionally Republican state. That thought would be instantly destroyed once you read this guy s Twitter account.It s hard to explain how this individual won the election, with the stuff he says online. It isn t a troll account. It isn t some work of performance art or an impersonator that hacked his Twitter. It s REALLY him and it is, for Republicans, an embarrassment to say the least.Remember this is an elected Republican chairman of one of the most important counties in the largest Republican state in the country.The following tweets are not exactly safe for work. Much of the Bush family should be in Jail. Rick Perry is (was) a rampaging bisexual adulterer. https://t.co/Bn5y4puIJR Robert Morrow (@RobMorroLiberty) March 2, 2016GHW Bush, CIA drug smuggler 1980's. Homosexual pedophile involved with Franklin pedophile ring. October Surprise. https://t.co/k01SQjqLs2 Robert Morrow (@RobMorroLiberty) March 2, 2016So do all your sexual fantasies about Hillary Clinton involve "snuff films?" Probably not good for most of you Bill to answer that question Robert Morrow (@RobMorroLiberty) February 28, 2016The simply astronomical amount of fully insane conspiracy theories, vulgar references, homophobic, misogynistic, bigoted, racist and otherwise generally offensive things on his twitter are impossible to describe with mere words. If you are particularly brave and have some free time, you can entertain yourself by reading it HERE.Morrow goes on to say Hillary Clinton is a bull dyke, that she has had more female partners than Bill (an obvious dig at Bill s alleged history of affairs), and that Chelsea Clinton is actually some other man s daughter. Morrow is an equal opportunity offender, though, and accuses Marco Rubio of attending gay foam parties, and said he needs to be in gay underwear advertisements. In fact, he compared the entire Republican National Committee to a gay foam party. The RNC is a gay foam party https://t.co/xEhcnObTa0 Robert Morrow (@RobMorroLiberty) February 27, 2016Pretty sure George W. Bush can suck a dick better than Hillary Clinton https://t.co/sZFJdcujd2 Robert Morrow (@RobMorroLiberty) March 2, 2016For a totally heterosexual Republican, this guy thinks about gay stuff more than actual gay people. Morrow also had a now deleted Facebook page, where he posted many grossly offensive things about Hillary Clinton. Just one example is below:Hillary Clinton masturbation fantasy update. 3 HOURS 27 MINUTES 15 SECONDS. What is wrong with me? I am I getting old? Losing the passion? No matter how much I sniff Hillary s panties which I bought off of Ebay, I can NEVER seen to be able to last more than 4 hours choking the chicken while thinking about her. [Facebook, 11/13/13]Source: Media MattersI am not going to be adding more of the Facebook posts because the one above is probably the tamest out of all of them. If you really want to see more you can follow the link to Media Matters above. Remember, I warned you about them.Surprisingly, other Texas Republicans seem to be suddenly shocked by this and are now vowing to force Morrow out of office.Morrow s Vice Chairman, Matt Mackowiak, had this to say: We will explore every single option that exists, whether it be persuading him to resign, trying to force him to resign, constraining his power, removing his ability to spend money or resisting any attempt for him to access data or our social media account, Mackowiak told the Tribune. I m treating this as a coup and as a hostile takeover. Source: LatestMorrow s response to the Texas Tribune regarding the threat was tell them they can go f-ck themselves. Mackowiak commented further on the situation: We have someone who ran here who absolutely has no intention of serving the Republican Party with leadership and faithfulness, Mackowiak said. His social media account is something that no child should see. He is a total disaster. Source: Texas Star TribuneAll I have to say is this: Republicans asked for it. Ever since 2008 when Obama won his first election, the entire Republican party on every level from local to federal has embraced the worst of the worst of the worst of their ultra right-wing fringe lunatics. It guaranteed them an easily motivated and manipulated voting base. However, now they have to deal with the mess they ve wrought and in many cases, they are simply powerless to do so.Mackowiak has said he and other county legislators are even considering forming a Republican splinter cell in Travis County, to form a new organization to usurp the existing one if they have no options to force Morrow out of office.Morrow will assume his post in June. If you re a liberal in Travis County, tell a Republican friend Told ya so!

The RNC is a gay foam party https://t.co/xEhcnObTa0 Robert Morrow (@RobMorroLiberty) February 27, 2016Pretty sure George W. Bush can suck a dick better than Hillary Clinton https://t.co/sZFJdcujd2 Robert Morrow (@RobMorroLiberty) March 2, 2016For a totally heterosexual Republican, this guy thinks about gay stuff more than actual gay people. Morrow also had a now deleted Facebook page, where he posted many grossly offensive things about Hillary Clinton. Just one example is below:Hillary Clinton masturbation fantasy update. 3 HOURS 27 MINUTES 15 SECONDS. What is wrong with me? I am I getting old? Losing the passion? No matter how much I sniff Hillary s panties which I bought off of Ebay, I can NEVER seen to be able to last more than 4 hours choking the chicken while thinking about her. [Facebook, 11/13/13]Source: Media MattersI am not going to be adding more of the Facebook posts because the one above is probably the tamest out of all of them. If you really want to see more you can follow the link to Media Matters above. Remember, I warned you about them.Surprisingly, other Texas Republicans seem to be suddenly shocked by this and are now vowing to force Morrow out of office.Morrow s Vice Chairman, Matt Mackowiak, had this to say: We will explore every single option that exists, whether it be persuading him to resign, trying to force him to resign, constraining his power, removing his ability to spend money or resisting any attempt for him to access data or our social media account, Mackowiak told the Tribune. I m treating this as a coup and as a hostile takeover. Source: LatestMorrow s response to the Texas Tribune regarding the threat was tell them they can go f-ck themselves. Mackowiak commented further on the situation: We have someone who ran here who absolutely has no intention of serving the Republican Party with leadership and faithfulness, Mackowiak said. His social media account is something that no child should see. He is a total disaster. Source: Texas Star TribuneAll I have to say is this: Republicans asked for it. Ever since 2008 when Obama won his first election, the entire Republican party on every level from local to federal has embraced the worst of the worst of the worst of their ultra right-wing fringe lunatics. It guaranteed them an easily motivated and manipulated voting base. However, now they have to deal with the mess they ve wrought and in many cases, they are simply powerless to do so.Mackowiak has said he and other county legislators are even considering forming a Republican splinter cell in Travis County, to form a new organization to usurp the existing one if they have no options to force Morrow out of office.Morrow will assume his post in June.

Senator warns against simultaneous overhaul of Medicare and ObamacareWASHINGTON (Reuters) - A senior U.S. Senate Republican warned his party on Thursday against simultaneously overhauling Medicare and the Obamacare health insurance program, saying this would be “biting off more than you can chew.” The cautionary comments from Senator Lamar Alexander came after House Speaker Paul Ryan, long an advocate of privatize Medicare, said Republican lawmakers would be discussing reforms of the health insurance program for the elderly with President-elect Donald Trump’s administration. Republicans won the White House as well as keeping their majorities in both houses of Congress in elections last month, and are now busy preparing an agenda for next year after the new Congress is sworn in on Jan. 3 and Trump takes office Jan. 20. “Well, of course it’s up to the speaker and Senator (Mitch) McConnell (the majority leader) what our agenda is, but my advice to them would be, save Medicare for another day,” Alexander, chairman of the Senate’s health, education, labor and pensions committee, told reporters in a Capitol hallway. Medicare serves more than 50 million Americans who are elderly or disabled. More than one-third of them are in Medicare Advantage plans run by private insurers like UnitedHealth Group Inc. The balance receive medical benefits directly from Medicare on a traditional fee-for-service basis. The government has been trying to cut spending on the program, which rises each year with the cost of medical services and drugs. “We want to begin immediately to repeal Obamacare,” Alexander said. “Trying to deal with the solvency issues in Medicare at the same time falls into the category of biting off more than you can chew ... a little humility here would be in order, we can’t do everything at once and we shouldn’t try.” Ryan earlier Thursday said that Medicare was on a path to going bankrupt around 2028, and needed reform, a repeat of his long-standing stance. He wants to convert the fee-for-service program into a system of subsidies for seniors, to buy coverage from private insurers or a scaled-back Medicare. Democrats including Senator Chuck Schumer have seized on the fact that Trump’s nominee to head the Health and Human Services department - Representative Tom Price - supports major changes to Medicare, to warn Republicans against privatizing the program. Alexander also said that while Republicans will move quickly to repeal Obamacare, the repeal probably would not take effect for two or three years, during which time lawmakers can work on a replacement plan. politicsNews | 1 | senator warns simultaneous overhaul medical obamacarewashington reuters a senior senate republican warned party thursday simultaneously overhanging medical obamacare health insurance program saying would biting the cautionary comments senator lamar alexander came house speaker paul ryan long advocate privatized medical said republican lawmakers would discussing reforms health insurance program elderly donald trump administration republicans white house well keeping majorities houses congress elections last month busy preparing agenda next year new congress sworn trump takes office well course speaker senator mitch mcconnell majority leader agenda advice would save medical another day alexander chairman senate health education labor pensions committee told reporters capitol hallway medical serves million americans elderly disabled more medical advantage plans run private insurers like unitedhealth group inc the balance receive medical benefits directly medical traditional basis the government trying cut spending program rises year cost medical services drugs we want begin immediately repeal obamacare alexander said trying deal solvent issues medical time falls category biting chew little humility would order everything ryan earlier thursday said medical path going bankrupt around needed reform repeat stance he wants convert program system subsidies seniors buy coverage private insurers medical democrats including senator chuck scheme seized fact trump nominee head health human services department representative tom price supports major changes medical warn republicans privatizing program alexander also said republicans move quickly repeal obamacare repeal probably would take effect two three years time lawmakers work replacement plan politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Saudi crackdown will not hit investments: energy minister FalihBONN, Germany (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia s corruption investigations are linked to a just few individuals and will not hinder investments in the kingdom, its energy minister said on Thursday. Khalid al Falih said the crackdown was way overdue and would also not have any impact on plans to float shares in oil giant Saudi Aramco. Everybody understands that this is a limited, domestic affair that the government is simply cleaning house, he said on the sidelines of the U.N. climate conference in Bonn, Germany. Saudi Arabia s future king has tightened his grip on power through an anti-corruption purge by arresting royals, ministers and investors including billionaire Alwaleed bin Talal who is one of the kingdom s most prominent businessmen. The move by Prince Mohammed bin Salman against Saudi s political and business elite also targeted the head of the National Guard, Prince Miteb bin Abdullah, who was detained and replaced as minister of the powerful National Guard by Prince Khaled bin Ayyaf. The energy minister said many foreign investors who had been have been doing business in Saudi Arabia for decades will tell you that they have not seen corruption in their interactions with the Saudi government or with the Saudi entities . It (the crackdown) has no impact on foreign direct investment. It has no impact whatsoever on the kingdom s openness, capital flows and our wide open investment environment, he added. Saudi Arabia s plan to float around 5 percent of Aramco in an initial public offering (IPO) is a centerpiece of Vision 2030, a wide-ranging reform plan to diversify the Saudi economy beyond oil. Falih said a decision is yet to be made on where the listing would be made. On the upcoming meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries in Vienna at the end of the month to decide the fate of a global oil production cut, Falih said an extension beyond the March 2018 expiry was needed to rebalance the oil market. OPEC and ten other oil producers led by Russia agreed last year to curb production by some 1.8 million barrels per day to get rid of an oversupply in the market. worldnews | 1 | saudi crackdown hit investments energy minister falihbonn germany reuters saudi arabia corruption investigations linked individuals hinder investments kingdom energy minister said thursday valid al false said crackdown way overdue would also impact plans float shares oil giant saudi franco everybody understands limited domestic affair government simply cleaning house said sidelines climate conference bonn germany saudi arabia future king tightened grip power purge arresting royals ministers investors including billionaire alwaleed bin tall one kingdom prominent businessmen the move prince mohammed bin salman saudi political business elite also targeted head national guard prince mite bin abdullah detained replaced minister powerful national guard prince killed bin aaf the energy minister said many foreign investors business saudi arabia decades tell seen corruption interactions saudi government saudi entities it crackdown impact foreign direct investment it impact whatsoever kingdom openness capital flows wide open investment environment added saudi arabia plan float around percent franco initial public offering ipo centerpiece vision reform plan diversify saudi economy beyond oil false said decision yet made listing would made on upcoming meeting organization petroleum exporting countries vienna end month decide fate global oil production cut false said extension beyond march expiry needed balance oil market open ten oil producers led russia agreed last year curb production million barrels per day get rid oversupply market worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Hariri back in Lebanon for first time since quitting as PMBEIRUT (Reuters) - Saad al-Hariri returned to Beirut on Tuesday for the first time since he resigned as Lebanon s prime minister in a broadcast from Saudi Arabia and plunged his country into political crisis. Hariri s sudden resignation on Nov. 4 thrust Lebanon to the forefront of regional tussle between the Sunni monarchy of Saudi Arabia and Shi ite Islamist Iran, whose powerful Lebanese ally Hezbollah is part of the government. Hariri was greeted by members of the security forces as he disembarked from a jet at Beirut airport, live footage of his arrival showed. Hariri, a long-time ally of Saudi Arabia, cited fear of assassination and meddling by Iran and Hezbollah in the Arab world in his resignation speech. The move caught even his aides off guard, and politicians close to him say Riyadh forced him to quit and held him in Saudi Arabia. Riyadh and Hariri have denied this. Lebanese President Michel Aoun has refused to accept the resignation until Hariri returns to present it in person. Earlier, Hariri met Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in Cairo, saying after the meeting that he would announce his political position in Lebanon. In a Nov. 12 interview from Saudi Arabia with Future TV, a station affiliated with his political party, Hariri said he would return to Lebanon to confirm his resignation. But he also held out the possibility of withdrawing it if Hezbollah respected Lebanon s policy of staying out of regional conflicts such as Yemen. worldnews | 1 | hair back lebanon first time since quitting pmbeirut reuters said returned bert tuesday first time since resigned lebanon prime minister broadcast saudi arabia plunged country political crisis hair sudden resignation thrust lebanon forefront regional muscle sunny monarchy saudi arabia shi ite islamic iran whose powerful lebanese ally hezbollah part government hair greeted members security forces disembarked jet bert airport live footage arrival showed hair ally saudi arabia cited fear assassination meddling iran hezbollah arab world resignation speech the move caught even aides guard politicians close say riyadh forced quit held saudi arabia riyadh hair denied lebanese president michel noun refused accept resignation hair returns present person earlier hair met egyptian president abdul faith cairo saying meeting would announce political position lebanon in interview saudi arabia future tv station affiliated political party hair said would return lebanon confirm resignation but also held possibility withdrawing hezbollah respected lebanon policy staying regional conflicts yemen worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

The Trump Organization Is Busy Putting Pressure On Foreign Diplomats To Stay At His HotelThe Kuwaiti Embassy in Washington, D.C., tends to book their annual National Day celebration at the Four Seasons, and this year was supposed to be no exception. However, now this year is an exception because they ve moved it from the Four Seasons to Trump s hotel in the Old Post Office building. And they didn t do that on a lark.A diplomatic source, who wasn t authorized to speak publicly and therefore wasn t named, told ThinkProgress that the decision was political. The Trump Organization reportedly contacted the Ambassador of Kuwait and put pressure on him to move the event. They may have done the same to Bahrain earlier this month.Apparently, there are a lot of foreign governments who are thinking of taking their business to Trump s hotel as a way to curry favor with him. And Trump himself seems to be refusing to completely divest himself of his businesses. Could this be why? Surely an upstanding citizen such as Trump would never use his position as president to continue enriching himself. Right? Right.Har de har har.Trump s greed, along with the hotel s slow start, give him an incentive to continue being totally unethical. About a month after the hotel opened, there were many travel agents and event planners who felt the place wasn t worth the trouble it takes to plan events at fancy hotels. At the time, Trump s name and brand were badly tarnished, and that was reflected in the business at the hotel (and elsewhere, too).This might be a different story if Trump was sincere in his promise to divest, and focus on the issues facing America. Sure, he s open to limits on his involvement, but he doesn t want anyone outside his family to have rights to his name, and he wants to be able to return to his company once his term as president is over.There s no way for this to look good as long as Trump even appears to still be involved with his businesses. There s no way for it not to look like he s trading favors for money. It won t stop with Kuwait and Bahrain.Featured image by Chip Somodevilla via Getty ImagesNews | 0 | the trump organization is busy putting pressure on foreign diplomats to stay at his hotelthe kuwait embassy washington tends book annual national day celebration four seasons year supposed exception however year exception moved four seasons trump hotel old post office building and diplomatic source authorized speak publicly therefore named told thinkprogress decision political the trump organization reportedly contacted ambassador kuwait put pressure move event they may done bahrain earlier lot foreign governments thinking taking business trump hotel way curry favor and trump seems refusing completely divest businesses could surely standing citizen trump would never use position president continue enriching right de har greed along hotel slow start give incentive continue totally unethical about month hotel opened many travel agents event planners felt place worth trouble takes plan events fancy hotels at time trump name brand badly vanished reflected business hotel elsewhere might different story trump sincere promise divest focus issues facing america sure open limits involvement want anyone outside family rights name wants able return company term president way look good long trump even appears still involved businesses there way look like trading favors money it stop kuwait image chip somodevilla via petty imagenes | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

German war reparations 'matter of honor' for PolandKRAKOW, Poland (Reuters) - Demanding reparations from Germany for its actions in Poland during World War Two is a matter of honor for Warsaw, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the leader of Polish ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, said on Saturday. The issue of reparations, revived by Poland s eurosceptic PiS after decades of improving relations with Germany, could escalate tensions between the two European Union members. In September Polish parliamentary legal experts ruled that Warsaw has the right to demand reparations from Germany, although Poland s foreign minister indicated that no immediate claim would be made. The French were paid, Jews were paid, many other nations were paid for the losses they suffered during World War Two. Poles were not, Kaczynski said. It is not only about material funds. It is about our status, our honor ... And this is not theater. This is our demand, a totally serious demand, added Kaczynski, Poland s de facto leader. The PiS government, deeply distrustful of Germany, has raised calls for wartime compensation in recent months but Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski has said further analysis was needed before any claims were lodged. Six million Poles, including three million Polish Jews, were killed during the war, and the capital Warsaw was razed to the ground in 1944 after a failed uprising in which 200,000 civilians died. worldnews | 1 | german war reparations honor polandkrakow poland reuters demanding reparations germany actions poland world war two matter honor warsaw jaroslaw kaczynski leader polish ruling law justice pis party said saturday the issue reparations revived poland eurosceptic pis decades improving relations germany could escalate tensions two european union members in september polish parliamentary legal experts ruled warsaw right demand reparations germany although poland foreign minister indicated immediate claim would made the french paid jews paid many nations paid losses suffered world war two poles kaczynski said it material funds it status honor and theater this demand totally serious demand added kaczynski poland de facto leader the pis government deeply distrustful germany raised calls wartime compensation recent months foreign minister told waszczykowski said analysis needed claims lodged six million poles including three million polish jews killed war capital warsaw razed ground failed uprising civilians died worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Two Senate Republicans critical of party's tax planWASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Senate Republican tax plan that would repeal the Obamacare mandate and give permanent tax cuts only to U.S. corporations drew fire from two Republican lawmakers on Wednesday in what could be a sign of trouble for the sweeping measure. Republican Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin said he would not support the current Senator proposal, or a separate tax bill being debated in the House of Representatives, because he believes they unfairly benefit corporations over other kinds of enterprises, including small businesses. Senator Susan Collins, one of three Republicans who opposed a Republican Obamacare repeal effort earlier this year, warned that some middle-income taxpayers could see tax cuts wiped out by higher health insurance premiums if the repeal of the Affordable Care Act’s mandate goes through. Their views could signal problems for Senate Republicans, who want to pass tax legislation by December but can afford to lose no more than two votes from their ranks because they have only a 52-48 majority in the Senate. Democrats have called the Republican tax plans a giveaway to the rich and corporations. “Neither the House nor Senate bill provide fair treatment, so I do not support either in their current version,” Johnson said in a statement, adding he would still work with his Republican colleagues to produce better legislation. Senate Republicans produced a new plan late on Tuesday that would guarantee permanent tax cuts for corporations but only temporarily lower tax bills for individuals and small businesses, while tying the overall package to an effective repeal of a key part of Obamacare, former Democratic President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law. Exposing the tax-cut initiative to the same political risks that wrecked a mid-2017 anti-Obamacare push by Republicans, Senate tax committee chief Orrin Hatch unveiled an amendment that he defended as helpful to the middle class. Collins, a Maine Republican, told reporters that adding the mandate repeal was a mistake. “This is going to be difficult and I just don’t know why we had to complicate it by bringing up the ACA,” she said. Several moderate Republicans including Collins and John McCain have not said if they support the tax plan. The new Republican plan, Hatch said at a committee meeting, would expand the child tax credit and slightly reduce some middle-class tax rates. Taken together, those changes “will let us channel even more tax relief to the middle class,” he said. But those changes would be temporary, while a deep cut in the corporate tax rate would be permanent under Hatch’s plan, which was widely expected to become the main vehicle for Republicans efforts to revamp the tax code before year end. The effort is seen by Republicans as critical to their prospects of retaining power in Washington in the November 2018 congressional elections. So far, Republicans and President Donald Trump have no major legislative victories from 2017 to show voters despite controlling the White House and Congress. They are hoping the tax cut will fix that problem and have made progress in recent days while Trump toured Asian capitals. He returned late on Tuesday and was scheduled to meet with lawmakers on Thursday. The House began debating its tax bill on Wednesday, with a full vote expected on Thursday. The Senate and House tax plans must eventually be reconciled and merged into a final plan that can pass both chambers before it goes to Trump to sign into law. By including an effective repeal of Obamacare’s individual mandate, Senate Republicans likely ended any possibility of gaining support from Democrats. “This is not just another garden variety attack on the Affordable Care Act, or ACA. This is repeal of that law,” said Senator Ron Wyden, the finance committee’s top Democrat. He blasted Republicans for setting a “double standard” by guaranteeing permanent tax cuts only for corporations. The individual mandate clause of Obamacare requires healthy younger people to buy insurance or pay a federal penalty. The aim is to hold down coverage costs for those sick or older. By repealing that penalty, Republicans would raise more than $318 billion over a decade to pay for tax cuts, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation, a nonpartisan unit of Congress. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office separately estimated last week that repealing the mandate would increase the number of uninsured Americans by 13 million by 2027. Trump backed the inclusion of the mandate repeal in the tax bill, as do Republican conservatives in the Senate and House. U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan told CNBC on Wednesday that while the House tax plan did not repeal the mandate, Republicans in that chamber would likely approve a final measure hammered out with the Senate that included it. Hatch’s Senate plan would also expand access to deductions for “pass-through” businesses and increase the child tax credit to $2,000 from the earlier proposed $1,650. But those benefits would expire at the end of 2025. The changes would still allow the measure to comply with a deficit requirement that must be met if Senate Republicans are to pass the legislation with a simple majority. The Senate tax plan is required to add no more than $1.5 trillion over 10 years to the federal deficit and national debt. Otherwise, Senate Republicans would need 60 votes. politicsNews | 1 | two senate republicans critical party tax planwashington reuters a senate republican tax plan would repeal obamacare mandate give permanent tax cuts corporations drew fire two republican lawmakers wednesday could sign trouble sweeping measure republican senator ron johnson wisconsin said would support current senator proposal separate tax bill debated house representatives believes unfairly benefit corporations kinds enterprises including small businesses senator susan collins one three republicans opposed republican obamacare repeal effort earlier year warned taxpayers could see tax cuts wiped higher health insurance premiums repeal affordable care act mandate goes their views could signal problems senate republicans want pass tax legislation december afford lose two votes ranks majority senate democrats called republican tax plans giveaway rich corporations neither house senate bill provide fair treatment i support either current version johnson said statement adding would still work republican colleagues produce better legislation senate republicans produced new plan late tuesday would guarantee permanent tax cuts corporations temporarily lower tax bills individuals small businesses tying overall package effective repeal key part obamacare former democratic president barack obama signature healthcare law exposing initiative political risks wrecked push republicans senate tax committee chief train hatch unveiled amendment defended helpful middle class collins maine republican told reporters adding mandate repeal mistake this going difficult i know complicate bringing aca said several moderate republicans including collins john mccain said support tax plan the new republican plan hatch said committee meeting would expand child tax credit slightly reduce tax rates taken together changes let us channel even tax relief middle class said but changes would temporary deep cut corporate tax rate would permanent hatch plan widely expected become main vehicle republicans efforts revamp tax code year end the effort seen republicans critical prospects retaining power washington november congressional elections so far republicans president donald trump major legislative victories show voters despite controlling white house congress they hoping tax cut fix problem made progress recent days trump toured asian capitals he returned late tuesday scheduled meet lawmakers thursday the house began debating tax bill wednesday full vote expected thursday the senate house tax plans must eventually reconciled merged final plan pass chambers goes trump sign law by including effective repeal obamacare individual mandate senate republicans likely ended possibility gaining support democrats this another garden variety attack affordable care act aca this repeal law said senator ron widen finance committee top democrat he blasted republicans setting double standard guaranteeing permanent tax cuts corporations the individual mandate clause obamacare requires healthy younger people buy insurance pay federal penalty the aim hold coverage costs sick older by repealing penalty republicans would raise billion decade pay tax cuts according joint committee taxation nonpartisan unit congress the nonpartisan congressional budget office separately estimated last week repealing mandate would increase number uninsured americans million trump backed inclusion mandate repeal tax bill republican conservatives senate house house speaker paul ryan told cnbc wednesday house tax plan repeal mandate republicans chamber would likely approve final measure hammered senate included hatch senate plan would also expand access deductions businesses increase child tax credit earlier proposed but benefits would expire end the changes would still allow measure comply deficit requirement must met senate republicans pass legislation simple majority the senate tax plan required add trillion years federal deficit national debt otherwise senate republicans would need votes politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Romania finalizes draft of judiciary overhaul criticized by EUBUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romania has put the finishing touches to a plan to overhaul the judiciary that critics say erodes judicial independence and which will have to be discussed with the European Union. When the scheme was first outlined in August, Brussels asked government for more details, expressing concern it may be a step backwards in the country s fight against corruption. The plan, also questioned by the president, magistrates and diplomats, was announced just six months after the Social Democrat-led (PSD) government attempted to weaken a crackdown on graft, triggering Romania s largest street protests in decades. Justice Minister Tudorel Toader gave no details of the new contents of the draft, but the original announcement included giving the minister control over the judicial inspection unit, currently managed by an independent magistrates watchdog (CSM). Critics say that would mean the minister could put pressure on judges. More than 3,500 magistrates across the country have signed a petition, asking the minister to withdraw the plan. The ministry has finalised the bill. We ve written a request for an opinion from the Venice Commission ... there will also be a discussion with Frans Timmermans on Oct. 26, Justice Minister Tudorel Toader told reporters on Wednesday. The Venice Commission is part of the Council of Europe rights body. Timmermans is the European Commission s vice president. Romania is seen as one of the bloc s most corrupt member states and Brussels keeps its justice system under special monitoring together with southern neighbor Bulgaria. In fellow former Communist country Poland, an overhaul of the judiciary, coupled with a government drive to expand its powers in other areas, including control of media, has provoked a crisis in relations with the European Union. Other changes outlined in August in Romania included the way in which chief prosecutors are appointed, so it would be the justice minister naming them rather than the country s president, who is traditionally above party politics. However, the PSD leader Liviu Dragnea said on Tuesday he would not favor stripping President Klaus Iohannis from the chain of appointing the top prosecutors, suggesting that might be watered down in the final version. The bill is expected to go to parliament s legal commission for debate. Last week, the government reshuffled the cabinet after Prime Minister Mihai Tudose said corruption allegations that forced two ministers to quit had created problems for his government with Brussels. Dragnea was himself convicted in a vote-rigging case in 2016 for which he received a suspended jail sentence. But controversy surrounding the PSD did not stop it from winning the 2016 election with support from voters in the countryside and those nostalgic for the communist-era who are more interested in pensions and wages rather than in a fight against graft. worldnews | 1 | romania finalized draft judiciary overhaul criticized eubucharest reuters romania put finishing touches plan overhaul judiciary critics say eroded judicial independence discussed european union when scheme first outlined august brussels asked government details expressing concern may step backwards country fight corruption the plan also questioned president magistrates diplomats announced six months social psd government attempted weaken crackdown graft triggering romania largest street protests decades justice minister tutored trader gave details new contents draft original announcement included giving minister control judicial inspection unit currently managed independent magistrates watchdog csm critics say would mean minister could put pressure judges more magistrates across country signed petition asking minister withdraw plan the ministry finalised bill we written request opinion venice commission also discussion trans timmermans justice minister tutored trader told reporters wednesday the venice commission part council europe rights body timmermans european commission vice president romania seen one bloc corrupt member states brussels keeps justice system special monitoring together southern neighbor bulgaria in fellow former communist country poland overhaul judiciary coupled government drive expand powers areas including control media provoked crisis relations european union other changes outlined august romania included way chief prosecutors appointed would justice minister naming rather country president traditionally party politics however psd leader live dragged said tuesday would favor stripping president class iohannis chain appointing top prosecutors suggesting might watered final version the bill expected go parliament legal commission debate last week government reshuffle cabinet prime minister mini those said corruption allegations forced two ministers quit created problems government brussels dragged convicted case received suspended jail sentence but controversy surrounding psd stop winning election support voters countryside nostalgic interested pensions wages rather fight graft worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

SHOCKING: Why Our Fed Government Will Grant “Disabled” Status With Benefits To Spanish Speaking Residents Of Puerto RicoIf we didn t know better, we d almost believe our Federal Government was attempting to give special privileges to Spanish speaking citizens. Perhaps they re establishing a precedent for taxpayer funded benefits for millions of illegal immigrants who will soon be American citizens The Social Security Administration (SSA) approved disability benefits for hundreds of Puerto Ricans because they do not speak English, despite the fact that Puerto Rico is a predominantly Spanish-speaking territory.According to a new audit by the Office of Inspector General (OIG), the agency is misapplying rules that are intended to provide financial assistance to individuals who are illiterate or cannot speak English in the United States. Under the rules, Puerto Ricans are allowed to receive disability benefits for their inability to speak English as well. We found the Agency did not make exceptions regarding the English-language grid rules for claimants who reside in Puerto Rico, even though Spanish is the predominant language spoken in the local economy, the OIG said.The audit said a person applying for disability in Puerto Rico who cannot speak English may increase his/her likelihood of receiving disability benefits. The agency does not currently have a system in place to keep track of the number of beneficiaries who receive disability insurance for not being able to speak English.However, the OIG was able to identify 218 cases between 2011 and 2013 where Puerto Ricans were awarded disability due to an inability to communicate in English. Furthermore, 4 percent of disability hearings in Puerto Rico involved looking at the individual s ability to speak, read, write, and understand English.Though 95 percent of Puerto Ricans speak Spanish at home, according to the rules a Spanish-speaking nurse in Puerto Rico would be considered unskilled, the OIG said.The SSA told the OIG that the rules are applied one-size-fits-all. SSA managers at various disability decision levels stated Social Security is a national program, and the grids must be applied to the national economy, regardless of local conditions, the audit said.The SSA takes into account an individual s education level when considering awarding disability benefits if they do not qualify for medical reasons. Part of the education requirement involves looking at a person s ability to speak English, to determine whether it limits his ability to find a job.Last year Sen.

TEXT: SHOCKING: Why Our Fed Government Will Grant “Disabled” Status With Benefits To Spanish Speaking Residents Of Puerto RicoIf we didn t know better, we d almost believe our Federal Government was attempting to give special privileges to Spanish speaking citizens. Perhaps they re establishing a precedent for taxpayer funded benefits for millions of illegal immigrants who will soon be American citizens The Social Security Administration (SSA) approved disability benefits for hundreds of Puerto Ricans because they do not speak English, despite the fact that Puerto Rico is a predominantly Spanish-speaking territory.According to a new audit by the Office of Inspector General (OIG), the agency is misapplying rules that are intended to provide financial assistance to individuals who are illiterate or cannot speak English in the United States. Under the rules, Puerto Ricans are allowed to receive disability benefits for their inability to speak English as well. We found the Agency did not make exceptions regarding the English-language grid rules for claimants who reside in Puerto Rico, even though Spanish is the predominant language spoken in the local economy, the OIG said.The audit said a person applying for disability in Puerto Rico who cannot speak English may increase his/her likelihood of receiving disability benefits. The agency does not currently have a system in place to keep track of the number of beneficiaries who receive disability insurance for not being able to speak English.However, the OIG was able to identify 218 cases between 2011 and 2013 where Puerto Ricans were awarded disability due to an inability to communicate in English. Furthermore, 4 percent of disability hearings in Puerto Rico involved looking at the individual s ability to speak, read, write, and understand English.Though 95 percent of Puerto Ricans speak Spanish at home, according to the rules a Spanish-speaking nurse in Puerto Rico would be considered unskilled, the OIG said.The SSA told the OIG that the rules are applied one-size-fits-all. SSA managers at various disability decision levels stated Social Security is a national program, and the grids must be applied to the national economy, regardless of local conditions, the audit said.The SSA takes into account an individual s education level when considering awarding disability benefits if they do not qualify for medical reasons. Part of the education requirement involves looking at a person s ability to speak English, to determine whether it limits his ability to find a job.Last year Sen. Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.) raised concerns that the Obama administration was broadly applying the education rule under the Social Security Act to allow individuals to receive disability payments solely because they cannot speak English.He noted that the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) rolls swelled 230 percent between 2000 and 2010, while the U.S. population only grew 9.7 percent.Former SSA judges have also testified that individuals have been approved for disability in the United States without having to prove they cannot speak English.The hundreds of Puerto Ricans noted in the OIG s report have received disability insurance despite a 1987 U.S. District Court ruling that appears to contradict the SSA s policy.

Republican senators urge Trump to embrace findings on Russia hackingWASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two senior Republican senators urged President-elect Donald Trump to punish Russia in response to U.S. intelligence agencies’ conclusion that President Vladimir Putin personally directed efforts aimed at influencing the outcome of the November election. In a joint appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, Republican Senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain said evidence was conclusive that Putin sought to influence the election - a point that Trump has refuted repeatedly by arguing it might be impossible to tell who was responsible. “In a couple weeks, Donald Trump will be the defender of the free world and democracy,” Graham said. “You should let everybody know in America, Republicans and Democrats, that you’re going to make Russia pay a price for trying to interfere.” Both senators said they remain unsure if they will support Trump’s pick for secretary of state, former Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N) Chairman and CEO Rex Tillerson, who has been criticized for his close ties to Putin. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing on Wednesday to consider Tillerson’s nomination. Three U.S. intelligence agencies released a joint report on Friday that concluded that Putin directed efforts to help Trump’s electoral chances by discrediting his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. Hackers penetrated the Democratic National Committee’s email server and separately stole emails from John Podesta, who chaired Clinton’s campaign. The emails were then posted online and used to embarrass Clinton, including by Trump who frequently used the content as political ammunition. Russia was trying to undermine public faith in the democratic process, damage Clinton, making it harder for her to win and harm her presidency if she did, the unclassified report said. McCain said he supports continued investigations into the hacks. “We need to come to grips with it and get to the bottom of it and overall come up with a strategy in this new form of warfare that can basically harm our economy, harm our elections, harm our national security,” he said. Trump, whose views on Russia are out of step with his party, has repeatedly dismissed claims that the Russians were trying to help him, arguing that the charges against Russia are the product of his political opponents trying to undermine his victory. On Friday, after receiving his intelligence briefing, Trump did not squarely address whether he was told of the agencies’ belief Russia carried out the hacking. Instead, he said: “Russia, China, other countries, outside groups and people are consistently trying to break through the cyber infrastructure of our governmental institutions, businesses and organizations” including the DNC. On Saturday, Trump wrote on Twitter that having a better relationship with Russia is a “good thing.” “Only ‘stupid’ people or fools, would think that is bad!” he tweeted. “We have enough problems around the world without yet another one. When I am President, Russia will respect us far more than they do now and both countries will, perhaps, work together to solve some of the many great and pressing problems and issues of the WORLD!” politicsNews | 1 | republican senators urge trump embrace findings russia hackingwashington reuters two senior republican senators urged donald trump punish russia response intelligence agencies conclusion president vladimir putin personally directed efforts aimed influencing outcome november election in joint appearance nbc meet press sunday republican senators lindsay graham john mccain said evidence conclusive putin sought influence election point trump refuted repeatedly arguing might impossible tell responsible in couple weeks donald trump defender free world democracy graham said you let everybody know america republicans democrats going make russia pay price trying both senators said remain unsure support trump pick secretary state former exon mobil corp chairman ceo rex tillerson criticized close ties putin the senate foreign relations committee scheduled hold hearing wednesday consider tillerson nomination three intelligence agencies released joint report friday concluded putin directed efforts help trump electoral chances discrediting democratic rival hillary clinton hackers penetrated democratic national committee email server separately stole emails john modesta chaired clinton campaign the emails posted online used embarrass clinton including trump frequently used content political ammunition russia trying undermine public faith democratic process damage clinton making harder win harm presidency unclassified report said mccain said supports continued investigations hacks we need come grips get bottom overall come strategy new form warfare basically harm economy harm elections harm national security said trump whose views russia step party repeatedly dismissed claims russian trying help arguing charges russia product political opponents trying undermine victory on friday receiving intelligence briefing trump squarely address whether told agencies belief russia carried hacking instead said russia china countries outside groups people consistently trying break cyber infrastructure governmental institutions businesses organizations including dnc on saturday trump wrote twitter better relationship russia good only stupid people fools would think bad tweeted we enough problems around world without yet another one when i president russia respect us far countries perhaps work together solve many great pressing problems issues world politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

U.S. Democratic senators seek probe into Icahn’s biofuel credit dealingsWASHINGTON (Reuters) - Eight Democratic senators asked U.S. regulators on Tuesday to launch an investigation into billionaire Carl Icahn’s activities in the U.S. biofuels blending credit market, saying the activist investor may have violated trading laws since becoming an adviser to President Donald Trump. “We are writing to request that your agencies investigate whether Carl Icahn violated insider trading laws, anti-market manipulation laws, or any other relevant laws based on his recent actions in the market for renewable fuel credits,” the senators said in a letter to the heads of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency. The letter, a copy of which was seen by Reuters, was signed by Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Sherrod Brown of Ohio and five others. The agencies are not required to act on it. Efforts to reach Icahn for comment were not immediately successful. There have been months of public outcry from Democratic lawmakers and liberal watchdog groups concerned that Icahn’s dual role as a high-powered investor and presidential adviser could lead to conflicts of interest. Trump, a Republican, named Icahn as an unpaid adviser on regulation shortly after November’s election, saying the choice could help him slash red tape and bolster economic growth. In February, Icahn submitted a proposal to the White House to change the U.S. biofuels program in a way that would ease its regulatory burden on oil refining companies, already struggling with low profit margins. Icahn owns a majority stake in refining company CVR Energy Inc (CVI.N). The White House is considering the proposal. An administration official did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday. A Reuters review of securities filings last month showed that CVR had accumulated a large short position in biofuels blending credits, called Renewable Identification Numbers, or RINs, which many refiners are required to purchase under the biofuels law. That meant the company would have been in a strong position to profit if RIN prices fell. In their letter, the senators pointed out that RIN prices dropped sharply in late February after Icahn’s proposal on the biofuels regulation was reported. “We have no way of knowing at this time whether Mr. Icahn made any of his renewable fuel credit trades or decisions about trades based on material, non-public information or otherwise manipulated the market,” the senators wrote. “But the publicly available evidence is troubling, and based on this evidence, we ask that your agencies investigate whether Mr. Icahn’s conduct violated any laws under your jurisdiction,” they said. Icahn previously dismissed accusations that his proposal to the White House to change the biofuels program was self-serving, saying the overhaul would help other refining companies too, including his competitors. CVR Energy shares fell 0.4 percent to $22.20 on Tuesday. A CVR spokesman declined to comment. Shares in Icahn’s investment firm, Icahn Enterprises (IEP.O), fell 4.3 percent to $50.82. Icahn, 81, has spent decades doing battle with major companies as an activist investor, and has amassed a fortune that Forbes Magazine pegs above $20 billion. In recent years, he built up an 82 percent stake in CVR, making him a player in the niche biofuels market. “Carl Icahn is not shy, and he knows his voice and his actions as special adviser can influence the RIN markets,” said Tyson Slocum of Public Citizen, a liberal watchdog group that has already asked Congress to investigate whether Icahn had violated any lobbying disclosure laws. “The real issue is did Carl Icahn use his position as special adviser to unduly impact the RIN market and then make corresponding bets on those moves,” Slocum said. CVR Energy’s refining unit (CVRR.N) posted a net gain of $6.4 million associated with the biofuel credits market in the first quarter of 2017, a $50 million turnaround from the year-ago period when CVR shelled out $43.1 million, the company said in a filing. The U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard, overseen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, requires increasing volumes of biofuels to be blended into the nation’s gasoline and diesel every year. It places that responsibility mainly on refiners, who are required to blend the fuel themselves or purchase credits from others that do it for them. Icahn’s proposal had called for regulators to shift the responsibility for blending from refiners, many of which lack sufficient blending capacity, to terminal operators. A number of biofuels groups oppose the proposed change, saying it could undermine the Renewable Fuel Standard by making it more complicated, since there are many times more terminal operators than refining companies. “Moving the point of obligation would require a dramatic increase in the staff required to track this at EPA, all while delivering poorer supervision, increasing the complexity of the program, and ultimately higher costs for American drivers,” said Growth Energy Chief Executive Emily Skor. politicsNews | 1 | democratic senators seek probe can biofuel credit dealingswashington reuters eight democratic senators asked regulators tuesday launch investigation billionaire carl can activities biofuels blending credit market saying activist investor may violated trading laws since becoming adviser president donald trump we writing request agencies investigate whether carl can violated insider trading laws manipulation laws relevant laws based recent actions market renewable fuel credits senators said letter heads securities exchange commission commodity futures trading commission environmental protection agency the letter copy seen reuters signed elizabeth warren massachusetts seldom whitehouse rhode island sherdog brown ohio five others the agencies required act efforts reach can comment immediately successful there months public outcry democratic lawmakers liberal watchdog groups concerned can dual role investor presidential adviser could lead conflicts interest trump republican named can unpaid adviser regulation shortly november election saying choice could help slash red tape bolster economic growth in february can submitted proposal white house change biofuels program way would ease regulatory burden oil refining companies already struggling low profit margins can owns majority stake refining company cvr energy inc the white house considering proposal an administration official immediately respond request comment tuesday a reuters review securities filings last month showed cvr accumulated large short position biofuels blending credits called renewable identification numbers runs many refinery required purchase biofuels law that meant company would strong position profit rin prices fell in letter senators pointed rin prices dropped sharply late february can proposal biofuels regulation reported we way knowing time whether can made renewable fuel credit trades decisions trades based material information otherwise manipulated market senators wrote but publicly available evidence troubling based evidence ask agencies investigate whether can conduct violated laws jurisdiction said can previously dismissed accusations proposal white house change biofuels program saying overhaul would help refining companies including competitors cvr energy shares fell percent tuesday a cvr spokesman declined comment shares can investment firm can enterprises fell percent can spent decades battle major companies activist investor amassed fortune forbes magazine pegs billion in recent years built percent stake cvr making player niche biofuels market carl can shy knows voice actions special adviser influence rin markets said tyson locus public citizen liberal watchdog group already asked congress investigate whether can violated lobbying disclosure laws the real issue carl can use position special adviser unduly impact rin market make corresponding bets moves locus said cvr energy refining unit posted net gain million associated biofuel credits market first quarter million turnaround period cvr shelled million company said filing the renewable fuel standard overseen environmental protection agency requires increasing volumes biofuels blended nation gasoline diesel every year it places responsibility mainly refinery required blend fuel purchase credits others can proposal called regulators shift responsibility blending refinery many lack sufficient blending capacity terminal operators a number biofuels groups oppose proposed change saying could undermine renewable fuel standard making complicated since many times terminal operators refining companies moving point obligation would require dramatic increase staff required track epa delivering poorer supervision increasing complexity program ultimately higher costs american drivers said growth energy chief executive emily stor politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Having kept northern parts of Rakhine State virtually off limits since it launched a counter-insurgency operation there in late August, Myanmar s military made a rare show of openness on Sunday by taking foreign journalists to see one of the beaches from which Rohingya are trying to escape. Well over 600,000 Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh to find shelter in the refugee camps, the living victims of what a top U.N. official has called ethnic cleansing . Myanmar, a mostly Buddhist country, has denied such accusations, insisting the military s clearance operation was necessitated by national security concerns after Rohingya militants attacked 30 security posts in northern Rakhine on Aug. 25. For the Rohingya at Ah Lei Than Kyaw, some 5 km south of the mouth of the Naf river, the beach is a kind of purgatory. Mohammad Eidnou, a 19-year-old laborer, sold his house and belongings but he and his family have spent everything surviving for the past two months and have no money to pay the $50 a head that boatmen are demanding to take them to Bangladesh. I don t want to go back to my village because there is nothing for us, Eidnou told Reuters. We cannot survive. Some have been stuck there for over a month, sweltering under the plastic sheeting used to make tents and existing on handouts proved by the Myanmar Red Cross Society. Others came just a few days ago, a sign that the flight of the Rohingya to Bangladesh is far from over. The International Rescue Committee reckons that two-thirds of some 300,000 left in Myanmar could leave in the next couple of months. On the beach at Ah Lei Than Kyaw, 30-year-old Sauli Mullahhe was thinking only of getting away. Like several other men, he described how things had got so bad that he could no longer go to work or his children to school. He could not get to a pharmacy when they fell sick, or go to a market to buy food and said the authorities had even stopped Rohingya leaving the village to fish. I could not have survived anymore, Mullahhe said. I will not go back to my village, I really hope to cross the Naf river to get to Bangladesh. Myint Kyaw, a police lieutenant-colonel, said his officers were leaving the Rohingya on the beach alone, and were not intervening when boats came to pick them up. We don t really take any action against them, because we don t want them in trouble, the policeman said. They cannot go on living in the camp for very long because they can have so many health problems. That s why we don t interfere with them. Rohingya among the hundreds who reached Bangladesh on rickety boats and rafts late last week told Reuters they had left thousands of others behind in miserable conditions on the Pa Nyaung Pin Gyi beach, at the mouth of the Naf. The military-arranged media trip did not extend that far up the coast. Many of the Rohingya living in the camps in Cox s Bazar, on the Bangladesh side of the Naf river, have recounted how their relatives were raped and murdered as they ran from villages set ablaze by Myanmar soldiers. Aung San Suu Kyi, the de facto leader of Myanmar s less than two-year-old civilian government, has said any allegations of atrocities need substantiating and should be investigated. Under Myanmar s transition to democracy, civilians still have to share power with the generals who ruled the country for nearly half a century, and Suu Kyi has no say over what the military does. She is currently on a mission explaining how Myanmar is working to stem the crisis to leaders of other Southeast Asian countries at a regional summit in Manila. On Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will visit Myanmar for talks with the country s leadership, while senators back in Washington press for economic and travel sanctions against the military and its business interests. Suu Kyi has said preparations are being made for Rohingya to return, so long as they can prove they were resident. worldnews | 1 | last exit myanmar rohingya wait weeks beach lei than kya myanmar reuters some rohingya muslims desperate leave myanmar camped exposed beach bay bengal waiting boat carry sanctuary bangladesh having kept northern parts machine state virtually limits since launched operation late august myanmar military made rare show openness sunday taking foreign journalists see one beaches rohingya trying escape well rohingya fled bangladesh find shelter refugee camps living victims top official called ethnic cleansing myanmar mostly buddhist country denied accusations insisting military clearance operation necessitated national security concerns rohingya militants attacked security posts northern machine for rohingya ah lei than kya km south mouth nat river beach kind purgatory mohammad idno laborer sold house belongings family spent everything surviving past two months money pay head beaten demanding take bangladesh i want go back village nothing us idno told reuters we survive some stuck month sheltering plastic sheeting used make tents existing handouts proved myanmar red cross society others came days ago sign flight rohingya bangladesh far the international rescue committee reckon left myanmar could leave next couple months on beach ah lei than kya saudi mullahhe thinking getting away like several men described things got bad could longer go work children school he could get pharmacy fell sick go market buy food said authorities even stopped rohingya leaving village fish i could survived anymore mullahhe said i go back village i really hope cross nat river get bangladesh maint kya police said officers leaving rohingya beach alone intervening boats came pick we really take action want trouble policeman said they go living camp long many health problems that interfere rohingya among hundreds reached bangladesh cricket boats rafts late last week told reuters left thousands others behind miserable conditions pa young pin gyi beach mouth nat the media trip extend far coast many rohingya living camps cox bazaar bangladesh side nat river recounted relatives raped murdered ran villages set ablaze myanmar soldiers sung san sup kyi de facto leader myanmar less civilian government said allegations atrocities need substantiating investigated under myanmar transition democracy civilians still share power generals ruled country nearly half century sup kyi say military she currently mission explaining myanmar working stem crisis leaders southeast asian countries regional summit manila on wednesday secretary state rex tillerson visit myanmar talks country leadership senators back washington press economic travel sanctions military business interests sup kyi said preparations made rohingya return long prove resident worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Syrian, Iranian backed forces advance in border area near IsraelAMMAN (Reuters) - Syrian army forces backed by Iranian-backed militias pushed deeper into the last rebel-held enclave near a strategic border area with Israel and Lebanon in a new expansion of Tehran s influence in the war-torn country. The army and the Shi ite forces helped by Druze militias in the area advanced east and south of the Sunni-rebel held bastion of Beit Jin backed by some of the heaviest aerial bombing and artillery shelling since a major assault began more than two months ago to seize the area, rebels said. The Syrian army said it had encircled the village of Mughr al Meer at the foothills of Mount Hermon as troops moved toward Beit Jin amid fierce clashes. On Monday, the army said they had cut off insurgent supply lines and made further advances. The enclave is the last rebel bastion left in the southwest of Damascus known as the Western Ghouta that had since last year fallen under government control after months of heavy bombing on civilian areas and years of siege tactics that forced rebels to surrender. A western intelligence source confirmed rebel reports that Iranian-backed local militias alongside commanders from the powerful Lebanese Hezbollah Shi ite group were playing a major role in the ongoing battles. Tehran was pushing to establish a strategic presence along the Israeli border in the Syrian Golan Heights, the source said. Rebels said they had repelled several attempts to storm their defenses and denied reports they were about to surrender. The Iranian-backed militias are trying to consolidate their sphere of influence all the way from southwest of Damascus to the Israeli border, said Suhaib al Ruhail, an official from the Liwa al Furqan rebel group that operates in the area. Worried by Iran s expanding influence in Syria after the defeat of Islamic State, Israel has in recent weeks stepped up its strikes against suspected Iranian targets inside Syria. Early this month there was an Israeli strike on a base near Kiswah, south of Damascus, that was widely believed to be an Iranian military compound, a Western intelligence source said. Israel has been lobbying Washington and Moscow to deny Iran, Lebanon s Hezbollah and other Shi ite militias any permanent bases in Syria, and to keep them away from the Golan, as they gain ground while helping Damascus beat back Sunni-led rebels. The southwest of Syria is part of a de-escalation zone in southern Syria agreed last July between Russia and the United States, the first such understanding between the two powers. The area has not seen Russian bombing, unlike other ceasefire areas in Syria. Diplomatic sources say several thousand Shi ite and Druze fighters are pitted against hundreds of Sunni jihadists and mainstream Free Syria Army (FSA) rebels closing ranks under the banner of Itihad Quwt Jabal al Sheikh, or Union of fighters of Jabal al Sheikh . They are mainly drawn from local fighters from the area. With the army and Iranian backed offensive widening, the Sunni rebels have called on youths to enlist, while mosque imams in Beit Jin called on people to take up arms and fight the army. Rebels still have a sizeable presence in central and southern Quneitra, in the Syrian Golan Heights. Western diplomatic sources say the crushing of the Sunni rebel presence in areas they have been in since 2013 will allow Lebanon s Hezbollah to open another secure arms supply line from its border in southern Lebanon into Syria. Since the beginning of the conflict in Syria, Iran has had a growing presence in the country, deploying thousands of Shi ite fighters drawn from Iraq and Afghanistan who have fought against both mainstream Sunni rebel groups and more militant groups. worldnews | 1 | syrian iranian backed forces advance border area near israelamman reuters syrian army forces backed militias pushed deeper last enclave near strategic border area israel lebanon new expansion tehran influence country the army shi ite forces helped due militias area advanced east south held bastion best jin backed heaviest aerial bombing artillery shelling since major assault began two months ago seize area rebels said the syrian army said encircled village much al meer foothills mount sermon troops moved toward best jin amid fierce clashes on monday army said cut insurgent supply lines made advances the enclave last rebel bastion left southwest damascus known western ghost since last year fallen government control months heavy bombing civilian areas years siege tactics forced rebels surrender a western intelligence source confirmed rebel reports local militias alongside commanders powerful lebanese hezbollah shi ite group playing major role ongoing battles tehran pushing establish strategic presence along israeli border syrian nolan heights source said rebels said repelled several attempts storm defenses denied reports surrender the militias trying consolidate sphere influence way southwest damascus israeli border said suhaib al rail official liga al urban rebel group operates area worried iran expanding influence syria defeat islamic state israel recent weeks stepped strikes suspected iranian targets inside syria early month israeli strike base near kiswah south damascus widely believed iranian military compound western intelligence source said israel lobbying washington moscow deny iran lebanon hezbollah shi ite militias permanent bases syria keep away nolan gain ground helping damascus beat back rebels the southwest syria part zone southern syria agreed last july russia united states first understanding two powers the area seen russian bombing unlike ceasefire areas syria diplomatic sources say several thousand shi ite due fighters pitted hundreds sunny jihadists mainstream free syria army fsa rebels closing ranks banner jihad quot cabal al sheikh union fighters cabal al sheikh they mainly drawn local fighters area with army iranian backed offensive widening sunny rebels called youths enlist mosque imams best jin called people take arms fight army rebels still sizeable presence central southern quneitra syrian nolan heights western diplomatic sources say crushing sunny rebel presence areas since allow lebanon hezbollah open another secure arms supply line border southern lebanon syria since beginning conflict syria iran growing presence country deploying thousands shi ite fighters drawn iraq afghanistan fought mainstream sunny rebel groups militant groups worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Millionaire Palin And Billioniare Trump Beg Gullible Supporters To Pay For Sarah’s Travel CostsIf you ve ever noticed how Donald Trump brags more about how much money he s made than how much he s given away, that s because he s notoriously uncharitable. Apparently that same level of pennypinching applies to the people who come out to endorse him even conservative celebrity Sarah Palin.According to a new fundraising email sent from Sarah Palin s controversial Political Action Committee (SarahPAC), Palin needs her supporters to break out their checkbooks and give as much as they can to the one time vice presidential candidate so she can attend political events to support endorsed candidates like Trump. The email, captured by Politico reporter Ken Vogel shamelessly tells Palin s loyal fans to visit the PAC s website to [contribute] what you can because Palin went all in for Donald Trump. As bizarre as it is for Trump to not offer to cover travel expenses for his new best friend and political ally, it s downright offensive to suggest Palin herself can t afford to pay her own way, either. This is the same person, after all, who recently put her $2.5 million Arizona mansion on the market. She s also the person who quit her job as governor in order to cash in on a book deal and a Fox News gig that earned her around $12 million. She may not be Donald Trump rich, but she s wealthy enough to buy a ticket or two from Travelocity.Longtime followers of Sarah Palin s grift machine won t be surprised by this latest moneygrab. SarahPAC has consistently operated like a personal bank account for Palin. The millions of dollars pulled in by gullible conservatives rarely go to meaningful political campaigns. Instead, the fiscal conservative uses the money to fund her lifestyle and promote her brand.As political watchdog group Open Secrets noted in 2014:What did SarahPAC spend most of its money on, then, in the third quarter? Many of the same consultants she has used all along for speechwriting, fundraising, logistics and research. There s even someone paid to consult on coalitions. Travel, presumably for Palin, is part of the equation; a PAC like this is useful for keeping a high profile nationally without having to pay those pesky airline and hotel tabs out of personal funds. And the PAC sent $10,885 to HarperCollins publisher of all three of Palin s books for books for donor fulfillment. That wasn t the only book purchase by the committee: A lump sum of $13,000 was listed as being spent for lodging, SUV rental, books for donors. In other words, Palin s SuperPAC is designed exclusively to (legally) steal money from conservatives hoping to get involved in the political process. Instead of using that money to fulfill her commitment, she spends it on SUV rentals and buying her own book in bulk to boost her sales. Now she says she needs more to keep up with Trump s traveling circus.In the interest of transparency, let s consider what one would get should they decide to give Palin some traveling money:It s been less than 24 hours Featured image: screengrab News | 0 | millionaire palin and billionaire trump beg gullible supporters to pay for sarah travel costs ever noticed donald trump brass much money made much given away notoriously charitable apparently level pennypinching applies people come endorse even conservative celebrity sarah new fundraising email sent sarah palin controversial political action committee sarahpac palin needs supporters break checkbooks give much one time vice presidential candidate attend political events support endorsed candidates like trump the email captured politico reporter ken vowel shameless tells palin loyal fans visit pac website contribute palin went donald trump as bizarre trump offer cover travel expenses new best friend political ally downright offensive suggest palin afford pay way either this person recently put million arizona mansion market she also person quit job governor order cash book deal fox news gig earned around million she may donald trump rich wealthy enough buy ticket two followers sarah palin gift machine surprised latest moneygrab sarahpac consistently operated like personal bank account palin the millions dollars pulled gullible conservatives rarely go meaningful political campaigns instead fiscal conservative uses money fund lifestyle promote political watchdog group open secrets noted what sarahpac spend money third quarter many consultants used along speechwriting fundraising logistics research there even someone paid consult coalitions travel presumably palin part equation pac like useful keeping high profile nationally without pay desk airline hotel tabs personal funds and pac sent harpercollins publisher three palin books books donor fulfillment that book purchase committee a lump sum listed spent lodging suv rental books donors in words palin superman designed exclusively legally steal money conservatives hoping get involved political process instead using money fulfill commitment spends suv rentals buying book bulk boost sales now says needs keep trump traveling interest transparency let consider one would get decide give palin traveling money it less hours featured image screengrab news | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Trump campaign star Conway named as his presidential counselorWASHINGTON (Reuters) - Kellyanne Conway, a Republican pollster who was widely credited with bringing a more disciplined approach to Donald Trump’s presidential election campaign, will become White House counselor when he takes office next month. In her new post, Conway will play a key advisory role, helping to manage Trump’s messaging and legislative priorities, the transition team said in a statement on Thursday. It praised Conway, 49, as the first woman campaign manager to guide a winning U.S. presidential campaign. Trump also tapped three loyalists to lead his communications team. The Republican National Committee’s Sean Spicer will be press secretary, while Hope Hicks, Jason Miller and Dan Scavino will round out the communications team. Both before the Nov. 8 election and after, Conway, as a senior adviser on the transition team, has been a frequent presence on U.S. television news programs, often called upon to defend or explain Trump’s thinking. Conway “played a crucial role in my victory,” Trump said in the transition team statement. “She is a tireless and tenacious advocate of my agenda and has amazing insights on how to effectively communicate our message.” Trump, a New York businessman, takes office on Jan. 20. Conway, interviewed by ABC’s “Good Morning America” shortly after the announcement, was asked when Trump would hold his first news conference. She avoided directly answering the question. Trump has held several rallies since winning the election but has not taken formal questions from reporters. He canceled a Dec. 15 news conference to discuss how he would handle his vast business interests once in the White House and said he would reschedule that for January. Conway told ABC that Trump was focusing on forming his Cabinet. “He’s been very busy doing that,” she said. Because of her prominent role in the campaign and transition team, there had been considerable speculation over what post Conway, a veteran political strategist, might occupy in Trump’s administration. Conway, who has four children, said she did not immediately accept a position offered to her early on in the transition period because she had to weigh her family obligations. “I would say that I don’t play golf and I don’t have a mistress so, I have a lot of time that a lot of these other men don’t,” Conway told Fox Business Network. “I see people on the weekend spending an awful lot of time on their golf games and that’s their right, but the kids will be with me, we live in the same house, and they come first.” politicsNews | 1 | trump campaign star conway named presidential counselorwashington reuters kellyanne conway republican poster widely credited bringing disciplined approach donald trump presidential election campaign become white house counselor takes office next month in new post conway play key advisory role helping manage trump messaging legislative priorities transition team said statement thursday it praised conway first woman campaign manager guide winning presidential campaign trump also tapped three loyalists lead communications team the republican national committee sean spider press secretary hope hicks jason miller dan saving round communications team both election conway senior adviser transition team frequent presence television news programs often called upon defend explain trump thinking conway played crucial role victory trump said transition team statement she tireless tenacious advocate agenda amazing insights effectively communicate trump new york businessman takes office conway interviewed abc good morning america shortly announcement asked trump would hold first news conference she avoided directly answering question trump held several rallies since winning election taken formal questions reporters he canceled news conference discuss would handle vast business interests white house said would rescheduled january conway told abc trump focusing forming cabinet he busy said because prominent role campaign transition team considerable speculation post conway veteran political strategist might occupy trump administration conway four children said immediately accept position offered early transition period weigh family obligations i would say i play golf i mistress i lot time lot men conway told fox business network i see people weekend spending awful lot time golf games right kids live house come politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

NEWSFLASH FOR OUR IMPERIAL PRESIDENT: STATES CAN REFUSE IRAN DEAL [Video]As Barack Hussein Obama tours around the country trying to convince the low information voter that the lopsided and dangerous deal he and John Kerry cut with Iran is somehow beneficial to the United States of America he may want to consider the states can shut down his deal if they so choose to act.The Obama administration has sent the Iran nuclear deal to Congress for a 60-day review provided by the Corker bill. However, President Barack Obama has pre-empted Congress by going to the UN Security Council first, which has already voted to end international sanctions and accept the deal. Furthermore, even if Congress rejects the deal, it will struggle to muster a two-thirds majority to override the president s veto.There is one effective way, however, that the Iran deal can be rejected: states and local governments can refuse to comply with it.That may come as a surprise. States and local governments do not play much of a role in foreign policy. However, they cannot be forced to implement an international treaty or agreement that is not self-executing i.e. one whose implementation requires new congressional laws.Thanks to the victory at the Supreme Court by then-Texas Solicitor General Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)96% in Medell n v. Texas (2008), it is a settled principle in constitutional law that states cannot be forced to comply with international treaties unless Congress has passed statutes giving them effect.The Iran deal stipulates (p. 15):25. If a law at the state or local level in the United States is preventing the implementation of the sanctions lifting as specified in this JCPOA, the United States will take appropriate steps, taking into account all available authorities, with a view to achieving such implementation. The United States will actively encourage officials at the state or local level to take into account the changes in the U.S. policy reflected in the lifting of sanctions under this JCPOA and to refrain from actions inconsistent with this change in policy.The sanctions to which the deal refers are the array of divestment laws that have been passed in recent years to prevent pension funds and contractors from providing economic benefits to Iranian companies the Iranian regime. 30 states have passed divestment laws, roughly a dozen have passed contracting restrictions, and some have passed supplemental legislation, such as a 2012 law passed in California that applies to the state s insurance industry.Many of the states that have applied harsh restrictions on Iran, moreover, are liberal blue states. New York, for example, maintains a blacklist of persons determined to be engaged in investment activities in Iran. As the state government explains further: Once an entity appears on the list, it will be considered a non-responsive bidder/offerer and prohibited from entering into contracts with New York State or local governments. That includes companies that are not Iranian themselves, but do business with Iran.The Iran deal lifts sanctions on some companies that appear on New York s blacklist. However, the state restrictions remain in force.The Iran deal obligates the federal government to take appropriate steps to cancel state and local restrictions, and requires the government to refrain from further sanctions in the future. The truth is that the federal government has no constitutional authority to do so.Divestment laws and contracting restrictions can remain in place at the state and local level until they are superseded by federal statute. The language of the Iran deal itself is not enough to constitute such statutory authority, even if the Iran deal does pass by failure to override Obama s veto.If the states want, they can add new sanctions and restrictions on Iran perhaps to replace those that the federal government is lifting, such as restrictions on Iranian engineers studying nuclear technology at American universities.The Iran deal specifies that Iran will treat an an imposition of new nuclear-related sanctions, as grounds to cease performing its commitments. That paragraph (27) deals with federal sanctions, but is written vaguely.That leaves great power in the states hands to trigger the deal s collapse or force Obama to re-negotiate.Via: Breitbart NewsGovernment News | 0 | newsflash for our imperial president states can refuse iran deal video as barack hussain obama tours around country trying convince low information voter lopsided dangerous deal john kerry cut iran somehow beneficial united states america may want consider states shut deal choose obama administration sent iran nuclear deal congress review provided corner bill however president barack obama congress going un security council first already voted end international sanctions accept deal furthermore even congress rejects deal struggle muster majority override president one effective way however iran deal rejected states local governments refuse comply may come surprise states local governments play much role foreign policy however forced implement international treaty agreement one whose implementation requires new congressional victory supreme court solicitor general ted cruz model n texas settled principle constitutional law states forced comply international treaties unless congress passed statutes giving iran deal stipulates if law state local level united states preventing implementation sanctions lifting specified coa united states take appropriate steps taking account available authorities view achieving implementation the united states actively encourage officials state local level take account changes policy reflected lifting sanctions coa refrain actions inconsistent change sanctions deal refers array investment laws passed recent years prevent pension funds contractors providing economic benefits iranian companies iranian regime states passed investment laws roughly dozen passed contracting restrictions passed supplemental legislation law passed california applies state insurance states applied harsh restrictions iran moreover liberal blue states new york example maintains blacklist persons determined engaged investment activities iran as state government explains once entity appears list considered prohibited entering contracts new york state local governments that includes companies iranian business iran deal lifts sanctions companies appear new york blacklist however state restrictions remain iran deal obligated federal government take appropriate steps cancel state local restrictions requires government refrain sanctions future the truth federal government constitutional authority laws contracting restrictions remain place state local level superseded federal statute the language iran deal enough constitute statutory authority even iran deal pass failure override obama states want add new sanctions restrictions iran perhaps replace federal government lifting restrictions iranian engineers studying nuclear technology american iran deal specifies iran treat imposition new sanctions grounds cease performing commitments that paragraph deals federal sanctions written leaves great power states hands trigger deal collapse force obama breitbart newsgovernment news | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Canada's indigenous population undergoes dramatic growth: censusTORONTO (Reuters) - Canada s indigenous population is growing four times faster than the rest the country, census data showed on Wednesday, marking a dramatic increase in the ranks of people who have long struggled with poverty and marginalization. A growing number of Canadians identifying themselves as indigenous, a higher fertility rate and a higher life expectancy for indigenous people than in the past help explain the rapid growth rate, Statistics Canada said. Canada s indigenous population grew 42.5 percent in the 10 years to 2016 to 1.7 million people, compared to 11 percent growth for Canada as a whole, Statistics Canada said, in data released from the 2016 census. The findings show a young population, with an average age of 32.1 years, compared with 40.9 for the non-aboriginal population. The census, which showed indigenous people accounting for nearly 5 percent of the population overall, also found a younger generation significantly more likely to be raised in foster care. Indigenous children made up 7.7 percent of all Canadians under 5 but more than half of the children were in foster homes, according to the census data. The census also found that one fifth of the indigenous population lives in over-crowded housing, and 44 percent of indigenous people on reserves were living in homes that needed major repairs. Last month, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada had failed its indigenous people. In a speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Trudeau acknowledged the dark history of Canada s colonization as one of humiliation, neglect and abuse and promised to do more. Statistics Canada estimated that by 2036, indigenous people will comprise one-fifth of the populations of the prairie provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan - potentially giving them greater political clout. Canada s indigenous people come from hundreds of nations and bands, with more than 70 distinct languages. They include First Nations, M tis, people of mixed indigenous and European background, and Inuit, who largely inhabit Canada s north. Population growth between 2006 and 2016 was highest for M tis, at 51.2 percent. That appeared to result, at least in part, from more people calling themselves M tis rather than from a mushrooming M tis birth rate, Statistics Canada figures suggest. In 2011, M tis women s birth rate was just 12.5 percent higher than that of non-indigenous women. I think these are people who are kind of dipping their toe into these identity waters, said Chris Andersen, a professor and dean of Native Studies at the University of Alberta. worldnews | 1 | canada indigenous population undergoes dramatic growth censustoronto reuters canada indigenous population growing four times faster rest country census data showed wednesday marking dramatic increase ranks people long struggled poverty marginalization a growing number canadian identifying indigenous higher fertility rate higher life expectancy indigenous people past help explain rapid growth rate statistics canada said canada indigenous population grew percent years million people compared percent growth canada whole statistics canada said data released census the findings show young population average age years compared population the census showed indigenous people accounting nearly percent population overall also found younger generation significantly likely raised foster care indigenous children made percent canadian half children foster homes according census data the census also found one fifth indigenous population lives housing percent indigenous people reserves living homes needed major repairs last month canadian prime minister justin trudeau said canada failed indigenous people in speech united nations general assembly trudeau acknowledged dark history canada colonization one humiliation neglect abuse promised statistics canada estimated indigenous people comprise populations prairie provinces manitoba saskatchewan potentially giving greater political clout canada indigenous people come hundreds nations bands distinct languages they include first nations m tis people mixed indigenous european background init largely inhabit canada north population growth highest m tis percent that appeared result least part people calling m tis rather mushrooming m tis birth rate statistics canada figures suggest in m tis women birth rate percent higher women i think people kind dipping toe identity waters said chris anderson professor dean native studies university alberta worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

MEDIA ATTACKS TRUMP…IGNORES Obama’s Miserable War Legacy: Soldiers Deaths QUADRUPLED Compared To GW Bush Years…Made Soldiers Wait To Be Shot At By Jihadists Before Attacking [VIDEO]Here s Chris Matthews attacking Trump s speech and his acknowledgment of Ryan Owens widow last night. Matthews can be seen along with fellow MSNB host Rachel Maddow demanding that Trump take responsibility for the death of Navy Seal Ryan Owens. No such demand was ever made of Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton by her friends in the press (fake media):So lets take a closer look at Obama s war legacy, which includes a horrendous record number of deaths in Afghanistan during his 8 years in office and the rise of ISIS, an even greater threat to America and to the stability of the Middle East.A discussion about President Barack Obama s legacy cannot ignore his policies in Afghanistan, where security conditions continue to deteriorate primarily at the hands of the Taliban, Afghans have suffered record casualties, and U.S. military fatalities have dramatically increased under his watch. The rise of the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) in Iraq and Syria has continued to overshadow Obama s war in Afghanistan even after the group established its still growing branch in the South Asian nation.The president s legacy on Afghanistan cannot be measured without taking into account what he inherited from George W. Bush. President Bush had been well aware at the end of his presidency that he was leaving behind Afghanistan a challenge. In his memoir Decision Points, he acknowledged Afghanistan was unfinished business, adding that the effort to transform the country into a stable democracy had turned out to be more daunting than I anticipated. Nevertheless, the war found a successor willing to put in more time and resources, including human capital, into the ongoing effort. As President, I will make the fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban the top priority that it should be. This is a war that we have to win, Obama vowed in a major 2008 campaign speech on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama also vowed to turn the good war in Afghanistan around and pull out all U.S. service members.Eight years later, U.S. military fatalities in the war have more than quadrupled from 558 under Bush to 2,247 under Obama, Pentagon data shows. There were 1,689 U.S. military deaths in Afghanistan under Obama, a figure that makes up more than 75 percent of all American fatalities since the war started in October 2001. The number of U.S. military injuries has increased more than 7-fold, from 2,702 under Bush to 20,237 now, according to Pentagon figures.The number of U.S. military injuries under Obama s watch (17,535) account for more than 90 percent of all 20,237 wounded in action incidents throughout the 15-year-old war.Almost immediately after implementing his own strategy, violence dramatically worsened in 2009, peaking in 2010, the deadliest year (497 deaths) for U.S. troops in Afghanistan.Obama presided over the top three deadliest years of the war: 2009 (303 deaths); 2010 (497 deaths); and 2011 (399). U.S. military fatalities under Bush peaked in 2008 at 151, according to a Breitbart News analysis of Pentagon data.At nearly 100,000 in 2010, the presence of the American military also reached its zenith under Obama.The rules of engagement have also been a subject of contempt for analysts and U.S. service members alike.A top commander of U.S. and NATO troops indicated that, after the end of the combat mission on December 31, 2014, American forces fighting Taliban jihadists had to wait to be shot at first to be able to attack. Being a member of the Taliban was no longer a justification for U.S. troops to open fire, attack a even as the terrorist group expands its territorial control across the war-ravaged nation.The Taliban currently controls more territory now than at any time since the group s regime was dethrone by the U.S. military in 2001. In the year after President Obama declared an end to the U.S. combat mission (2015), the Taliban surpassed their ISIS jihadist rivals as the the world s chief perpetrators of terrorist attacks, with 1,093 individual attacks, reported U.S. State Department.Nevertheless, U.S. troops are still banned from offensively attacking the Taliban.

Indonesian parliament speaker again named suspect in massive graft caseJAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia s speaker of parliament was on Friday named again as a suspect in a huge embezzlement case involving electronic identity cards that caused state losses of more than $170 million. This is the second time the national Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named Setya Novanto a suspect in the case, after he used a controversial legal maneuver to get earlier charges dropped last month. He is suspected of illegally enriching himself...and causing state losses in the procurement of electronic ID cards, KPK spokesman Febri Diansyah said in a statement. We have new evidence, he said, declining to elaborate because authorities were still investigating. A lawyer for Novanto could not immediately be reached for comment. Novanto has previously denied wrongdoing. The KPK has been investigating allegations that sums ranging from $5,000 to $5.5 million - money generated by marking up the costs of procuring the identity cards - were divided up among politicians in a room in parliament. Millions of Indonesians have been left unable to get a proper identity card or have faced long delays as a result of the alleged embezzlement. Many have been issued pieces of paper in place of the cards. Novanto missed repeated KPK summons for questioning in recent months, saying he was ill and needed to undergo heart surgery. Memes and jokes about Novanto went viral on Indonesian social media, as netizens heaped scorn on what they saw as an attempt to escape accountability. Novanto has for years been dogged by allegations of corruption, but never been prosecuted. In late 2015, parliament s ethics committee launched a probe into allegations by a Freeport Indonesia executive that Novanto had tried to extort $1.8 billion worth of shares from the local unit of the U.S. mining company. Novanto denied the allegations but stepped down temporarily. He was reappointed as speaker a year later, after being cleared by the ethics panel. Indonesians widely perceive parliament to be one of their country s most corrupt institutions, Transparency International says. MPs have consistently tried to curb some of the graft agency s investigative powers, but the KPK has remained independent and highly popular with the Indonesian public. worldnews | 1 | indonesian parliament speaker named suspect massive graft casejakarta reuters indonesia speaker parliament friday named suspect huge embezzlement case involving electronic identity cards caused state losses million this second time national corruption eradication commission pk named set lovato suspect case used controversial legal maneuver get earlier charges dropped last month he suspected illegally enriching causing state losses procurement electronic id cards pk spokesman fear diansyah said statement we new evidence said declining elaborate authorities still investigating a lawyer lovato could immediately reached comment lovato previously denied wrongdoing the pk investigating allegations sums ranging million money generated marking costs procuring identity cards divided among politicians room parliament millions indonesian left unable get proper identity card faced long delays result alleged embezzlement many issued pieces paper place cards lovato missed repeated pk summons questioning recent months saying ill needed undergo heart surgery memes jokes lovato went viral indonesian social media citizens helped scorn saw attempt escape accountability lovato years dogged allegations corruption never prosecuted in late parliament ethics committee launched probe allegations report indonesia executive lovato tried export billion worth shares local unit mining company lovato denied allegations stepped temporarily he reappointed speaker year later cleared ethics panel indonesian widely perceive parliament one country corrupt institutions transparency international says mps consistently tried curb graft agency investigative powers pk remained independent highly popular indonesian public worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

In late 2015, parliament s ethics committee launched a probe into allegations by a Freeport Indonesia executive that Novanto had tried to extort $1.8 billion worth of shares from the local unit of the U.S. mining company. Novanto denied the allegations but stepped down temporarily. He was reappointed as speaker a year later, after being cleared by the ethics panel. Indonesians widely perceive parliament to be one of their country s most corrupt institutions, Transparency International says. MPs have consistently tried to curb some of the graft agency s investigative powers, but the KPK has remained independent and highly popular with the Indonesian public. worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Maine governor's outburst tests limits of anger politics (Editor’s note: This story contains language that may offend readers in the fourth paragraph) By Scott Malone BOSTON (Reuters) - Years before Donald Trump dominated the news cycle with his style of angry politics, Maine Governor Paul LePage made headlines with a similarly brash approach. Since he was elected in 2010, the Republican has told critics of his decision to skip a civil rights breakfast to “kiss my butt” and accused a Democratic rival of forcing budget measures on taxpayers “without Vaseline.” But when LePage, the second U.S. governor to endorse Trump, recently left an obscenity-laced voicemail message for a lawmaker who he believed had called him a racist, he put his career in jeopardy. LePage’s widely circulated verbal attack, in which he called Democratic State Representative Drew Gattine a “little son-of-a-bitch, socialist cocksucker,” sparked the most intense firestorm of criticism the second-term governor has seen. Even legislative leaders from his own party called him into a closed-door meeting to discuss his future. The reaction shows that not all politicians can get away with the kind of bellicose approach that helped Trump wipe out his primary rivals and win the support of angry voters who feel U.S. politicians do not care about their problems. “Trump is a master of media and LePage is not. They are very different at the end of the day,” said Michael Franz, chairman of the government and legal studies department at Maine’s Bowdoin College. “Trump says he hates the media, but he works it very well. LePage just hates it.” The governor infamously joked in 2013 that he would like to blow up the offices of the Portland Press Herald newspaper, which he felt treated him unfairly. On Wednesday, LePage told reporters he had met with Gattine and apologized, and that he had no plans to resign from office. Asked what might change about his governing style, LePage responded that he would no longer speak with reporters. “I will no longer speak to the press ever again after today,” LePage said. “I’m serious. Everything will be put in writing. I am tired of being caught, the gotcha moments.” That came a day after LePage openly discussed the idea of stepping down in a regular monthly interview with a Maine radio station. He later backed away from his comments, and paraphrasing Mark Twain, said in a Twitter post, “The reports of my political demise are greatly exaggerated.” LePage endorsed Trump’s run in February, shortly after New Jersey Governor Chris Christie did. “I was Donald Trump before Donald Trump became popular,” LePage said at the time, saying that the wealthy New York businessman and reality TV star “could be one of the greatest presidents if he sits down and puts together a good team.” Trump has also praised LePage, saying that he would offer him a role in his administration “if he were available.” Both men describe their political styles as authentic and off-the-cuff and accuse more measured rivals of being career politicians who are out of touch with the needs of average voters. LePage’s brusqueness played well in Maine until recently. He won re-election in a three-way 2014 race with the support of 48 percent of voters with a wider margin of victory than the 38 percent he garnered in his first run, also a three-way race. Neil Levesque, executive director of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics said that success, coupled with Trump’s rise, could have emboldened LePage to double down on attack politics. “Almost anything goes now. You can call your opponents almost anything, you can threaten them,” Levesque said. “This is the new norm in American politics.” politicsNews | 1 | maine governor outburst tests limits anger politics editor note this story contains language may offend readers fourth paragraph by scott malone boston reuters years donald trump dominated news cycle style angry politics maine governor paul page made headlines similarly brash approach since elected republican told critics decision skip civil rights breakfast kiss butt accused democratic rival forcing budget measures taxpayers without but page second governor endorse trump recently left voicemail message lawmaker believed called racist put career jeopardy page widely circulated verbal attack called democratic state representative drew getting little socialist cocksucker sparked intense firestorm criticism governor seen even legislative leaders party called meeting discuss future the reaction shows politicians get away kind bellicose approach helped trump wipe primary rivals win support angry voters feel politicians care problems trump master media page they different end day said michael franz chairman government legal studies department maine bowdoin college trump says hates media works well page hates the governor infamous joked would like blow offices portland press herald newspaper felt treated unfairly on wednesday page told reporters met getting apologized plans resign office asked might change governing style page responded would longer speak reporters i longer speak press ever today page said i serious everything put writing i tired caught gotha that came day page openly discussed idea stepping regular monthly interview maine radio station he later backed away comments paraphrasing mark twain said twitter post the reports political demise greatly page endorsed trump run february shortly new jersey governor chris christie i donald trump donald trump became popular page said time saying wealthy new york businessman reality tv star could one greatest presidents sits puts together good trump also praised page saying would offer role administration both men describe political styles authentic accuse measured rivals career politicians touch needs average voters page brusqueness played well maine recently he race support percent voters wider margin victory percent garnered first run also race neil vesque executive director new hampshire institute politics said success coupled trump rise could emboldened page double attack politics almost anything goes you call opponents almost anything threaten vesque said this new norm american politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Jury deadlocks over tax-evasion charges against Washington state auditorSEATTLE (Reuters) - A jury did not convict Washington state’s auditor on money-laundering and tax-evasion charges on Tuesday in a blow to federal prosecutors who argued that the Democrat had “spun a web of lies” to avoid paying taxes and defraud thousands of homeowners. The jury in Tacoma also acquitted Troy Kelley, 51, of a single charge of making a false statement to IRS agents in April 2013 after about four days of deliberation following more than five weeks of trial. “This is the first step toward vindication for him,” Angelo Calfo, a defense attorney for Kelley, said by telephone. The criminal allegations against Kelley focus on his former document-tracking business for title companies during real estate sales and refinancing transactions in which he is accused of pocketing roughly $3 million in fees that should have been returned to borrowers from at least 2003 to 2008. A grand jury indicted Kelley, a Democrat elected in 2012, a year ago for his alleged scheme to keep stolen money and hide it from both the Internal Revenue Service and those due a refund for home purchases or mortgage refinancings. Among the charges Kelley faced was one count of possession and concealment of stolen property related to processing fees that should have been returned to borrowers. He also faced charges of failing to pay federal taxes, obstructing related IRS collections, money laundering, attempted obstruction of a civil lawsuit, and filing false income tax returns. It was not immediately clear what would happen with the remaining charges, Calfo said. Federal prosecutors could seek to re-try the case, or the judge could grant Kelley’s motion to dismiss the charges, he said. After a grand jury indicted Kelley last year, U.S. Attorney Annette Hayes said that he “spun a web of lies in an effort to avoid paying his taxes and keep more than a million dollars that he knew did not belong to him, but instead should have been returned to thousands of homeowners across this state.” Hayes said in a statement on Tuesday that her office “will thoroughly review the counts that the jury deadlocked on before making a decision about our next steps in this case.” A judge blocked a recall effort as Kelley fought the charges and he took a leave of absence to prepare his defense. Washington state Governor Jay Inslee, a fellow Democrat, has called for Kelley’s resignation. politicsNews | 1 | jury deadlock charges washington state auditorseattle reuters a jury convict washington state auditor charges tuesday blow federal prosecutors argued democrat spun web lies avoid paying taxes fraud thousands homeowners the jury tahoma also acquitted troy kelly single charge making false statement irs agents april four days deliberation following five weeks trial this first step toward indication angelo calf defense attorney kelly said telephone the criminal allegations kelly focus former business title companies real estate sales financing transactions accused ticketing roughly million fees returned borrowers least a grand jury indicted kelly democrat elected year ago alleged scheme keep stolen money hide internal revenue service due refund home purchases mortgage refinancings among charges kelly faced one count possession concealment stolen property related processing fees returned borrowers he also faced charges failing pay federal taxes obstructing related irs collections money laundering attempted obstruction civil lawsuit filing false income tax returns it immediately clear would happen remaining charges calf said federal prosecutors could seek case judge could grant kelly motion dismiss charges said after grand jury indicted kelly last year attorney annee hayes said spun web lies effort avoid paying taxes keep million dollars knew belong instead returned thousands homeowners across hayes said statement tuesday office thoroughly review counts jury deadlock making decision next steps a judge blocked recall effort kelly fought charges took leave absence prepare defense washington state governor jay insee fellow democrat called kelly resignation politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Poland ready to defend migration stance in EU top courtWARSAW (Reuters) - Poland is ready to defend its decision in the European Union s top court to refuse to accept migrants from Africa and the Middle East under an EU plan to redistribute them, Deputy Foreign Minister Konrad Szymanski said. He spoke after the EU executive sued Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic in the European Court of Justice on Thursday for their refusal to host these migrants. Poland is ready to defend its position in the Court, Szymanski told state news agency PAP. No one will lift the duty of providing public safety from the Polish government. The government of Poland s right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party has said it will not admit migrants, citing security concerns amid deadly Islamist attacks in western Europe and problems with ascertaining the identify of migrants. The Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday it had signed a deal with the European Investment Bank to give 50 million euros to help countries and territories affected by the migration crisis, mainly Lebanon, Jordan and the West Bank. Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski said that Poland - a country of 38 million - is already hosting migrants as it had issued more than a million work permits for people from neighboring Ukraine last year alone. worldnews | 1 | poland ready defend migration stance eu top courtwarsaw reuters poland ready defend decision european union top court refuse accept migrants africa middle east eu plan redistributed deputy foreign minister conrad szymanski said he spoke eu executive sued poland hungary czech republic european court justice thursday refusal host migrants poland ready defend position court szymanski told state news agency pap no one lift duty providing public safety polish government the government poland law justice pis party said admit migrants citing security concerns amid deadly islamic attacks western europe problems ascertaining identify migrants the foreign ministry said wednesday signed deal european investment bank give million euros help countries territories affected migration crisis mainly lebanon jordan west bank foreign minister told waszczykowski said poland country million already hosting migrants issued million work permits people neighboring ukraine last year alone worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

The Head Of The NRA Just Issued The Dumbest Challenge Ever To President Obama (VIDEO)Wayne LaPierre has a way about him that defines a**hole. maybe it s the condescending look his beady little eyes get from behind those frameless glasses. Maybe it s the tone in his voice as he declares that the tens of thousands of U.S. gun deaths since his tenure began have nothing to do with guns.Or maybe we all remember his impassioned call for more guns in our schools after 20 1st graders were gunned down on one of the coldest days in American history.No matter the reason you may despise Wayne LaPierre, the fact remains the he is despicable. He s a disgusting human being whose moral code has been lost to the cold hard cash of the gun manufacturers who want as many guns as possible in the hands of whoever has the money to buy one.Understanding all of that, this video will enrage you. LaPierre has decided to challenge President Obama to a one-on-one gun control debate. His terms are that the debate be one hour with a moderator, no pre-screened questions and no long answers.It s difficult for the ammosexual mind to come up with much other than criminals won t follow laws, so the last stipulation isn t really that surprising. He may want to consult with Taya Kyle before he assumes that the president isn t willing to answer tough questions from the opposition.Rather than simply issue the challenge, LaPierre attached it to 8 minutes of propaganda attacking not only the president s stance on gun control but also the affordable care act and yes, you guessed it Benghazi. He calls the president a tyrant who ignores the constitution just before he calls on him to mobilize a national force to turn Chicago upside down in search of felons and criminals with guns.Because sending the National Guard to black communities to illegally search the residents and their homes without warrants or probable cause is just fine, but asking law-abiding white folks to fill out a form and wait ten minutes is an egregious act of tyranny.The entire video is nothing but a propaganda piece aimed at keeping the far-right extremists mobilized and ready to do things like occupy the Oregon wilderness in the name of Murica or shoot up a Planned Parenthoood office in the name of life. In the very least he wants the status quo conservative argument of fear for your guns to weigh on the minds of every idiot who believes their firearm is the most important thing in their lives.You can watch the ridiculous challenge and the bloviating blowhard who issued it in the video below.

Trump goes on offensive against former beauty queen, Clinton calls him 'unhinged'WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump increased his attacks on a former beauty queen with a vague and unsubstantiated allegation about a sex tape in predawn Twitter posts on Friday, and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton denounced him as “unhinged.” Trump’s refusal to drop his invective against Alicia Machado, the Miss Universe from Venezuela whom he criticized for gaining weight after she won the crown in 1996, threatened to damage his already weak standing among women and Hispanics. With less than six weeks to go until the Nov. 8 election, Trump made reference - without giving evidence - to a sex tape involving Machado, who had publicly denounced him all week as a humiliating bully. His attacks provided critics with new fodder to question his temperament for the White House. “Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting (check out sex tape and past) Alicia M become a U.S. citizen so she could use her in the debate?” Trump said in his Twitter messages in the early hours of Friday. He did not elaborate on his allegations beyond saying that the Clinton campaign was unaware of the beauty queen’s past and had been “duped” by her. At a campaign rally in Coral Springs, Florida, Clinton said the episode was evidence that “a man who can be provoked by a tweet should not have the nuclear codes.” “Who gets up at 3 a.m. in the morning to engage in a Twitter attack against a former Miss Universe? I mean he hurled as many insults as he could. Really, why does he do things like that? “His latest Twitter meltdown is unhinged, even for him. It proves again he is temperamentally unfit to be President of the United States,” she said. Later on Friday, BuzzFeed said Trump made an appearance in a Playboy softcore pornographic movie from 2000 that it said it had obtained from an online adult video store in New York state. “Trump’s role in the porn is relatively benign and centers around him breaking a bottle of champagne on a Playboy-branded limo while several of the playmates are visiting New York City,” the online media outlet said. “There’s been a lot of talk about sex tapes today and in a strange turn of events only one adult film has emerged today and its star is Donald Trump,” Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill told reporters after a campaign event in Florida. Reuters could not confirm the BuzzFeed report. The Trump campaign did not respond to a Reuters request for comment. Merrill earlier said Clinton called Machado on Friday to thank her for what he said was the courage she has shown. Politico reported that Machado has starred in racy reality TV programs and posed naked for Playboy’s Mexican version, but said media outlets have found no evidence that she has starred in pornographic films. Machado, now a U.S. citizen, dismissed the fresh attacks with a message on Instagram, calling them “cheap lies” from a man intent on defaming her. “By way of his hate campaign, the Republican candidate insists on discrediting and demoralizing a woman, which is clearly one of his most frightening characteristics,” she wrote in her post in Spanish, next to a photo of herself draped in an American flag. Clinton raised Trump’s treatment of Machado during their first presidential debate on Monday as an example of how he views women. Clinton said Trump, the former owner of the Miss Universe pageants, had called Machado “Miss Piggy” and also “Miss Housekeeping” because she was a Latina. Trump attacked Machado the following day in a television interview as he sought to rebound from a debate that Clinton was widely viewed as having won. He also promised to hit Clinton harder in their next debate, on Oct. 9, suggesting he might attack Clinton on the infidelities of her husband, former President Bill Clinton. Speaking to Fox News on Tuesday, Trump said Machado had gained a “massive amount of weight” after her pageant win and that it was a “real problem.” Critics said his offensive this week raised questions about Trump’s character. The 70-year-old former reality TV star has never run for office before and his habit of making off-the-cuff insults has alarmed many in the Republican Party establishment. In taking the bait Clinton dangled on Monday, Trump echoed his August entanglement in a days-long public dispute with the parents of a Muslim Army captain killed in Iraq. That incident caused anguish among many Republican leaders concerned that he had nothing to gain by attacking a grieving family. Trump’s remarks on Friday could hurt him further with women and Hispanic voters. Clinton, 68, a former U.S. senator and secretary of state, is the first woman to win the presidential nomination of a major U.S. political party and has led Trump in opinion polls. The latest Reuters/Ipsos national tracking poll, released on Friday, showed Clinton leading by 43 percent to Trump’s 38 percent among likely voters. Clinton mocked Trump this week after he complained that he had a faulty microphone during Monday’s debate. The Commission on Presidential Debates said on Friday that, “Regarding the first debate, there were issues regarding Donald Trump’s audio that affected the sound level in the debate hall.” The sound was not affected for the record-setting audience of 84 million people who tuned into the 90-minute exchange. At a rally in Novi, Michigan, Trump wondered aloud whether the microphone problem was deliberate. “It’s difficult, and when you have a situation like that and you know it’s bad and you think that 100 million people are watching, what do you do, stop the show? I wonder why it was bad,” he said. politicsNews | 1 | trump goes offensive former beauty queen clinton calls reuters republican presidential candidate donald trump increased attacks former beauty queen vague unsubstantiated allegation sex tape predate twitter posts friday democratic rival hillary clinton denounced trump refusal drop inventive alicia macho miss universe venezuela criticized gaining weight crown threatened damage already weak standing among women hispanic with less six weeks go election trump made reference without giving evidence sex tape involving macho publicly denounced week humiliating bully his attacks provided critics new fodder question temperament white house did crooked hillary help disgusting check sex tape past alicia m become citizen could use debate trump said twitter messages early hours friday he elaborate allegations beyond saying clinton campaign unaware beauty queen past dumped at campaign rally coral springs florida clinton said episode evidence man provoked tweet nuclear who gets morning engage twitter attack former miss universe i mean hurled many insults could really things like his latest twitter meltdown unsigned even it proves temperamentally unfit president united states said later friday buzzfeed said trump made appearance playboy software pornographic movie said obtained online adult video store new york state trump role porn relatively benign centers around breaking bottle champagne limo several playmates visiting new york city online media outlet said there lot talk sex tapes today strange turn events one adult film emerged today star donald trump clinton spokesman nick merriam told reporters campaign event florida reuters could confirm buzzfeed report the trump campaign respond reuters request comment merriam earlier said clinton called macho friday thank said courage shown politico reported macho starred race reality tv programs posed naked playboy mexican version said media outlets found evidence starred pornographic films macho citizen dismissed fresh attacks message instagram calling cheap lies man intent dealing by way hate campaign republican candidate insists discrediting demoralizing woman clearly one frightening characteristics wrote post spanish next photo draped american flag clinton raised trump treatment macho first presidential debate monday example views women clinton said trump former owner miss universe pageants called macho miss iggy also miss housekeeping latina trump attacked macho following day television interview sought rebound debate clinton widely viewed he also promised hit clinton harder next debate suggesting might attack clinton infidelities husband former president bill clinton speaking fox news tuesday trump said macho gained massive amount weight pageant win real critics said offensive week raised questions trump character the former reality tv star never run office habit making insults alarmed many republican party establishment in taking bait clinton angled monday trump echoed august entanglement public dispute parents muslim army captain killed iraq that incident caused anguish among many republican leaders concerned nothing gain attacking grieving family trump remarks friday could hurt women hispanic voters clinton former senator secretary state first woman win presidential nomination major political party led trump opinion polls the latest national tracking poll released friday showed clinton leading percent trump percent among likely voters clinton mocked trump week complained faulty microphone monday debate the commission presidential debates said friday regarding first debate issues regarding donald trump audio affected sound level debate the sound affected audience million people tuned exchange at rally novi michigan trump wondered aloud whether microphone problem deliberate it difficult situation like know bad think million people watching stop show i wonder bad said politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

China, Singapore look to put difficulties behind themBEIJING (Reuters) - China and Singapore on Tuesday sought to put recent difficulties in their relationship over Taiwan and the disputed South China Sea behind them as Singapore s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong began a trip to Beijing. Singapore is not a claimant to any disputed part of the South China Sea but is home to the biggest port in Southeast Asia, and has made clear its open economy depends on continued free navigation in the area. China is also suspicious of Singapore s good military relations with the United States and self-ruled Taiwan. Meeting in the Great Hall of the People, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang told Lee that China and Singapore had maintained mutual respect. Singapore, Li said, is an important member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and next year will be rotating chair of ASEAN. I trust this will inject new energy into not just China-Singapore relations but also China-ASEAN relations, he said. China is worried it could face fresh criticism over its actions in the South China Sea when Singapore becomes ASEAN s chair, and is putting pressure on the city-state to make sure that doesn t happen, people familiar with the situation have told Reuters. Lee said he was grateful for the attention to the bilateral relationship but also for the opportunity to discuss how to work together in the regional context and with ASEAN. Singapore hopes it will be able to bring China and ASEAN closer together, Lee added. The visit of Lee so close to the opening of next month s Communist Party Congress demonstrates the maintenance of high level visits between the two countries, said Bai Tian, the vice director of the Asian department at the Chinese Foreign Ministry. This is an important political signal, Bai said. Overall development of bilateral ties was fairing well, and both leaders agreed to strengthen coordination and cooperation on international and regional matters , according to a readout of the meeting provided by the Chinese foreign ministry. The United States and Singapore announced an enhanced defense relationship in late 2015, which included deployments of long range P-8 surveillance planes out of Singapore - aircraft which frequently track Chinese submarines. Singapore also has close though unofficial ties with self-ruled Taiwan, which Beijing regards as a Chinese province. Tensions between the two countries burst into the open last November when Hong Kong port authorities impounded nine Singaporean armored military vehicles being shipped home from training grounds in Taiwan. Hong Kong released the vehicles earlier this year amid rare open debates in both Singapore and China about a deteriorating relationship. worldnews | 1 | china singapore look put difficulties behind thembeijing reuters china singapore tuesday sought put recent difficulties relationship taiwan disputed south china sea behind singapore prime minister lee hsien long began trip beijing singapore claimant disputed part south china sea home biggest port southeast asia made clear open economy depends continued free navigation area china also suspicious singapore good military relations united states taiwan meeting great hall people chinese premier li keqiang told lee china singapore maintained mutual respect singapore li said important member association southeast asian nations next year rotating chair asean i trust inject new energy relations also relations said china worried could face fresh criticism actions south china sea singapore becomes asean chair putting pressure make sure happen people familiar situation told reuters lee said grateful attention bilateral relationship also opportunity discuss work together regional context asean singapore hopes able bring china asean closer together lee added the visit lee close opening next month communist party congress demonstrates maintenance high level visits two countries said bai than vice director asian department chinese foreign ministry this important political signal bai said overall development bilateral ties fairing well leaders agreed strengthen coordination cooperation international regional matters according breakout meeting provided chinese foreign ministry the united states singapore announced enhanced defense relationship late included deployments long range surveillance planes singapore aircraft frequently track chinese submarines singapore also close though unofficial ties taiwan beijing regards chinese province tensions two countries burst open last november hong kong port authorities impounded nine singapore armored military vehicles shipped home training grounds taiwan hong kong released vehicles earlier year amid rare open debates singapore china deteriorating relationship worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

The source, who asked not to be identified, said Sandoval met on Monday in the U.S. Capitol with Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, at which time Reid asked the governor whether he would be interested in being considered for the high court job. “He said he was interested,” the source said, adding that “a number of people are being checked out” for the job. politicsNews | 1 | white house weighs possible supreme court nomination gov sandoval sourcewashington reuters nevada governor brian sandoval republican former federal judge considered president barack obama possible appointment supreme court replacing late justice antonio scale source close process said wednesday the source asked identified said sandoval met monday capitol senate democratic leader harry reid time reid asked governor whether would interested considered high court job he said interested source said adding number people checked job politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Euro zone enlargement call sparks backlash in GermanyTALLINN (Reuters) - After years of bailing out Greece, the idea of letting more poorer states into the euro zone has sparked controversy, particularly in Germany, where Chancellor Angela Merkel is seeking re-election in two weeks time. The backlash came after European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker called on Wednesday for non-euro zone countries to quickly adopt the single currency so that the European Union can find new unity in the euro after Britain leaves in 2019. Juncker promised to propose technical and financial help for the willing, quickly triggering concern from influential German members of the European Parliament, like the deputy chairman of the economic committee Markus Ferber. Juncker s call was interpreted by some in Germany as meaning the Commission would be lenient in assessing the readiness for the single currency of the mostly former communist and poorer eastern European countries like Bulgaria or Romania. Greece, which adopted the euro in 2001, later turned out not to have been ready because of falsified deficit statistics. The country triggered a massive debt crisis in the euro zone and had to be bailed out three times by other euro zone governments. Euro for all EU countries? There are clear criteria and rules for joining. Greece can not repeat itself, Ferber tweeted after the Juncker speech. EU officials became concerned that the misreading of the Juncker speech in Germany could fuel support for populist and eurosceptic parties and Juncker aides took to Twitter on Friday to try and counter that effect. They stressed that countries would only be allowed into the single currency if they met economic and governance criteria. In German language-only tweets they also pointed out that some, like keen would-be member Bulgaria, already meet many, though not all, of the economic standards for entry. To adopt the euro, a European Union country has to have low inflation, interest rates and debt, a deficit within the EU limits, as well as a stable exchange rate, proven by two years spent in the Exchange Rate Mechanism II without severe tensions. The exchange rate of the Bulgarian Lev is absolutely stable to the euro since 2006, Juncker s head of cabinet Martin Selmayr tweeted. The Inflation rate of Bulgaria is just at 0.2 pct and much lower than in the euro area. Addressing German sensitivity to debt, he tweeted: German debt is almost 66 pct of GDP, more than twice as high as the Bulgarian one. Romania and Bulgaria meet all the nominal criteria to join the euro except the two-year exchange rate stability test in the ERM II and the compatibility of their central bank laws with euro zone requirements. They are also far from meeting the soft criterion of real economic convergence with euro zone economies a factor that could prevent them getting the go-ahead for adopting the euro. Countries outside the euro zone include Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Denmark and Britain, but the last two have a formal opt-out from joining. Others have a legal obligation to adopt the euro when they meet all the criteria, but there are no deadlines for that. Commission Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis said Bulgaria had expressed to him a clear desire to join the euro zone. Romania has expressed a similar sentiment. But some of the biggest and more wealthy non-euro members of the EU like Sweden, Poland or the Czech Republic and Hungary have no plans to adopt the currency in the foreseeable future, preferring to keep the economic flexibility provided by control over their own exchange rate. worldnews | 1 | euro zone enlargement call sparks backlash germanytallinn reuters after years failing greece idea letting poorer states euro zone sparked controversy particularly germany chancellor angela merkel seeking two weeks time the backlash came european commission president quicker called wednesday zone countries quickly adopt single currency european union find new unity euro britain leaves quicker promised propose technical financial help willing quickly triggering concern influential german members european parliament like deputy chairman economic committee marks former quicker call interpreted germany meaning commission would lenient assessing readiness single currency mostly former communist poorer eastern european countries like bulgaria romania greece adopted euro later turned ready falsified deficit statistics the country triggered massive debt crisis euro zone bailed three times euro zone governments euro eu countries there clear criteria rules joining greece repeat former tweeted quicker speech eu officials became concerned misreading quicker speech germany could fuel support populist eurosceptic parties quicker aides took twitter friday try counter effect they stressed countries would allowed single currency met economic governance criteria in german tweets also pointed like keen member bulgaria already meet many though economic standards entry to adopt euro european union country low inflation interest rates debt deficit within eu limits well stable exchange rate proven two years spent exchange rate mechanism ii without severe tensions the exchange rate bulgaria lev absolutely stable euro since quicker head cabinet martin selmayr tweeted the inflation rate bulgaria pct much lower euro area addressing german sensitivity debt tweeted german debt almost pct gdp twice high bulgaria one romania bulgaria meet nominal criteria join euro except exchange rate stability test erm ii compatibility central bank laws euro zone requirements they also far meeting soft criterion real economic convergence euro zone economies factor could prevent getting adopting euro countries outside euro zone include bulgaria croatia czech republic hungary poland romania sweden denmark britain last two formal joining others legal obligation adopt euro meet criteria deadlines commission vice president valid dombrovskis said bulgaria expressed clear desire join euro zone romania expressed similar sentiment but biggest wealthy members eu like sweden poland czech republic hungary plans adopt currency foreseeable future preferring keep economic flexibility provided control exchange rate worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Health Secretary Price's use of private jets under reviewWASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Health Secretary Tom Price’s use of private jets for government travel was under investigation on Friday after an internal watchdog agreed to review the issue following calls by Democrats for a probe. Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General Daniel Levinson’s office said it would request Price’s travel records and seek to review their justification. Price has taken at least two dozen such charter flights since May at a cost to U.S. taxpayers of about $300,000, according to Politico, which first reported the travel. HHS’s Office of the Inspector General “is conducting a review of Secretary Price’s federal travel using chartered aircraft. The review focuses on whether the travel complied with Federal Travel Regulations, but may encompass other issues related to the travel,” said Levinson’s spokeswoman, Tesia Williams, adding that it would be finished as soon as possible. The move comes after House Democratic lawmakers called for the internal review earlier this week. [nL2N1M203S] Separately, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s top Democrat, U.S. Representative Elijah Cummings, also asked Price for details on the flights and called on panel chairman Trey Gowdy to hold an immediate hearing on the issue. Representatives for Price did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the investigation, earlier reported by the Washington Post and NBC News. HHS spokeswoman Charmaine Yoest defended Price’s travels, telling the Post: “This is Secretary Price, getting outside of D.C., making sure he is connected with the real American people” and adding that commercial flights could have lengthy delays or force him to miss public events. In a letter to Price, Cummings asked the secretary for details on the number of flights, the full costs and any documentation about their purpose by Oct. 10. “If these reports are accurate, this would be a stunning and hypocritical breach of trust given that the Trump Administration ... is trying to take away health care from millions of Americans and is proposing to slash funding at HHS,” he wrote. As a U.S. lawmaker in 2009, Price chastised “the fiscal irresponsibility” of government private plane use in an appearance on CNBC that he also posted on Twitter at the time. Questions over Price’s charter flights come as another top U.S. official, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, is facing scrutiny over his use of a government plane to fly to Kentucky for a visit to Louisville and Fort Knox. Mnuchin and his wife viewed the solar eclipse during the trip, which was to an area of the country that experienced the full eclipse.

Nigeria's Buhari urges calm after herdsmen kill 19 in central Plateau stateABUJA (Reuters) - Nigeria s President Muhammadu Buhari appealed for calm and an end to communal violence on Saturday after police said armed herdsmen killed 19 people in the central state of Plateau. Local police said Fulani herdsmen attacked Ancha village, in the Bassa local government area of Plateau state, in the early hours of Friday. They said it was thought to be a reprisal attack after a boy from the herding community was killed. Police provided details of the attack, in which five people were injured, late on Friday. Fighting between semi-nomadic cattle herders and more settled communities over land use claims hundreds of lives a year in Nigeria s central and northern states. I urge all our communities in the state and the other parts of the country to embrace peace and bring to a stop these painful and unnecessary killings, said Buhari, in an emailed statement. He said communities and security agencies in Plateau had taken steps to pull the state back from the brink of anarchy and senseless killings , adding that it would be a painful loss to allow these unsavory acts to return . The violence is another security challenge for Buhari in addition to the eight-year Boko Haram jihadist insurgency in the northeast and attempts to maintain a fragile ceasefire in the southern Niger Delta energy hub where militant attacks on oil facilities last year cut crude production by more than a third. worldnews | 1 | nigeria bukhari urges calm herdsmen kill central plateau stateabuja reuters nigeria president muhammad bukhari appealed calm end communal violence saturday police said armed herdsmen killed people central state plateau local police said flank herdsmen attacked cancha village bass local government area plateau state early hours friday they said thought reprisal attack boy herding community killed police provided details attack five people injured late friday fighting cattle headers settled communities land use claims hundreds lives year nigeria central northern states i urge communities state parts country embrace peace bring stop painful unnecessary killings said bukhari emailed statement he said communities security agencies plateau taken steps pull state back brink anarchy senseless killings adding would painful loss allow unsavory acts return the violence another security challenge bukhari addition book haram jihadist insurgency northeast attempts maintain fragile ceasefire southern niger delta energy hub militant attacks oil facilities last year cut crude production third worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Armed Black Protesters Chase Off Anti-Muslim Cowards (VIDEO)This is either really funny or a dangerous escalation. A group of armed patriots that have been showing up to mosques to terrorize Muslims going to pray were scared off by a larger group of armed African American counter-protesters:Racial tensions in South Dallas almost exploded at an anti-mosque protest Saturday afternoon before quickly dissolving when the protesters retreated.A few hundred South Dallas residents, mostly black, flooded Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to oppose a planned demonstration by a mostly white group that routinely protests outside mosques.Both sides were armed.The mosque in question was a predominately black one and the counter-protesters were chanting Black Power at the Murikan protesters.Unfortunately, the counter-protesters included members of the New Black Panther Party. If that name doesn t ring a bell, it s a group of pretenders to the legacy of the Black Panthers that spread anti-white bigotry, something the Black Panthers did not do (much). This is why a counter-protest to protect a mosque became racialized. While I have no doubt most of the protesters were racist as well as anti-Muslim, shifting the focus away from the religious bigotry to racism doesn t help Muslims in the long run. It does, however, help the NBPP and their message of anti-white hate.But although I don t approve of the bigotry, I do approve of the counter-protest. Ammosexuals have been terrorizing people for far too long and it was nice to see them show their true colors when their victims have guns, too. Liberals have been not-exactly-joking that black people need to start carrying rifles to push back against the targeting of their communities and, unsurprisingly, it worked.The problem is that Fox News and right wing media is going to explode over this. Nothing gets ratings like scary black people threatening innocent whites just defending their country blablabla. The racism will flow thick and heavy and some people will ask if this is the beginning of Sharia Law in America and the ISIS takeover.The original protesters, BAIR (the Bureau of American Islamic Relations, a silly play on CAIR, a Muslim group) is going to scream persecution and beg for help fighting the evil Muslims/scary black people. The next protest will be far larger, with more guns and filled with people just aching for a gun fight to break out. The potential for bloodshed will be a nightmare for the police.Keep an eye on Texas, this could get real ugly, real quick.Here s the video:Featured image via screencapNews | 0 | armed black protesters chase off towards video this either really funny dangerous escalation a group armed patriots showing mosques terrorist muslims going pray scared larger group armed african american racial tensions south dallas almost exploded protest saturday afternoon quickly dissolving protesters hundred south dallas residents mostly black flooded martin luther king boulevard oppose planned demonstration mostly white group routinely protests outside sides mosque question predominately black one chanting black power marian included members new black panther party if name ring bell group pretender legacy black panthers spread bigotry something black panthers much this protect mosque became racialized while i doubt protesters racist well shifting focus away religious bigotry racism help muslims long run it however help nbsp message although i approve bigotry i approve homosexuals terrorizing people far long nice see show true colors victims guns liberals black people need start carrying rifles push back targeting communities surprisingly problem fox news right wing media going explode nothing gets ratings like scary black people threatening innocent whites defending country blablabla the racism flow thick heavy people ask beginning sharia law america isis original protesters air bureau american islamic relations silly play air muslim group going scream persecution beg help fighting evil black people the next protest far larger guns filled people acting gun fight break the potential bloodshed nightmare eye texas could get real ugly real video featured image via screencapnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

BREAKING: Dir. Comey Just CRUSHED The GOP’s Fantasies Of Endless Clinton Investigations (TWEETS)House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz has been fantasizing about investigating a potential President Hillary Clinton into oblivion based on her use of a private email server. After all, Chaffetz has promised, quote, years of Clinton investigations should she be elected. This all comes after an unprecedented not to mention completely inappropriate letter that FBI Director James Comey sent to House Republicans saying that he was re-investigating new emails. Well, now, Comey has, once again, cleared Hillary of what was to become yet another anti-Clinton GOP witch hunt, and House Republicans are sure to be furious. Here is the tweet of the letter:New Comey letter: FBI has not changed its conclusion regarding Clinton use of personal email server pic.twitter.com/IdKT1gweMf Jim Acosta (@Acosta) November 6, 2016Nonetheless, Chaffetz himself had to admit that Hillary is in the clear with this one.

The bottom line is this: The whole situation never should have happened.

Trump’s FCC Will Decimate Internet Freedom (VIDEO) Republicans on the Federal Communications Commission have net neutrality in their sites again. This time, Trump appointed FCC Chairman, Ajit Pai, is leading the charge to undo Obama-era regulations that gave the FCC the power to restrict internet providers (ISPs) from having complete control over broadband delivery. Pai plans to ignore public protests, industry expert recommendations, and court opinions to hand over the reigns of the internet to ISP s.Ajit Pai is an ex-lawyer for Verizon and staffer for Jeff Sessions. He claims to support a free and open internet, but he does not agree with the FCC s rules. Pai would rather have Congress who s members think it s cute to use the word internets protect net neutrality than an agency full of industry experts. The Internet was not broken in 2015, Pai said during Thursday s hearing. The utility-style regulations known as Title II were and are like the proverbial sledgehammer being wielded against the flea. Except that here, there was no flea. The FCC voted Thursday afternoon to roll back President Obama s 2015 policies using Pai s rule-changing proposal titled Restoring Internet Freedom . The rule change would strip the FCC of oversight abilities, and it would result in a report on the economic impact of strict net neutrality rules. The lone Democrat on the FCC Commission, Mignon Clyburn, renamed the proposition Destroying Internet Freedom .Critics like Commissioner Clyburn argue that fair competition in the internet must be protected among other things. Without net neutrality, many argue, ISP s can suppress first amendment rights by slowing down some webpages and applications. They could also alter speed and access to certain websites based on their bottom lines. For instance, if Hulu agrees to pay Comcast more than Netflix, Comcast could potentially slow Netflix s streaming and download speeds. Now that s scary.Not only does rolling back net neutrality protections disrupt internet fairness, without them it could become harder for those in rural, less populated areas to receive adequate coverage. A past report by the FCC concluded that net neutrality protects broadband users from discriminatory practices that whittle away public Internet. It went on to assert that Openness is not just another principle. The value of open networks is not a novel concept, but the Commission must act to ensure that the genius of the open Internet is not lost. Net neutrality rules are particularly important for rural broadband subscribers who may have only one provider. The report states that the FCC needs to be instrumental in watching for and adjudicating discriminatory practices.Why do Republicans, like Pai, want to put an end to net neutrality.An April Wall Street Journal op-ed hails Pai s plan because it would revert to the bipartisan consensus that the internet should be unfettered by Federal or State regulation . Supporters want freedom for the ISP s. Freedom, Democrat Commissioner Clyburn points out, that the courts have ruled against three times.Alas, the FCC voted 1-3 to begin the process to peel back neutrality rules. Her words of dissent fell on deaf ears, but they may come to be an epithet if the proposition passes. If you unequivocally trust that your broadband provider will always put the public interest over self interest, then the destroying internet freedom [proposal] is for you.

This time, Trump appointed FCC Chairman, Ajit Pai, is leading the charge to undo Obama-era regulations that gave the FCC the power to restrict internet providers (ISPs) from having complete control over broadband delivery. Pai plans to ignore public protests, industry expert recommendations, and court opinions to hand over the reigns of the internet to ISP s.Ajit Pai is an ex-lawyer for Verizon and staffer for Jeff Sessions. He claims to support a free and open internet, but he does not agree with the FCC s rules. Pai would rather have Congress who s members think it s cute to use the word internets protect net neutrality than an agency full of industry experts. The Internet was not broken in 2015, Pai said during Thursday s hearing. The utility-style regulations known as Title II were and are like the proverbial sledgehammer being wielded against the flea. Except that here, there was no flea. The FCC voted Thursday afternoon to roll back President Obama s 2015 policies using Pai s rule-changing proposal titled Restoring Internet Freedom . The rule change would strip the FCC of oversight abilities, and it would result in a report on the economic impact of strict net neutrality rules. The lone Democrat on the FCC Commission, Mignon Clyburn, renamed the proposition Destroying Internet Freedom .Critics like Commissioner Clyburn argue that fair competition in the internet must be protected among other things. Without net neutrality, many argue, ISP s can suppress first amendment rights by slowing down some webpages and applications. They could also alter speed and access to certain websites based on their bottom lines. For instance, if Hulu agrees to pay Comcast more than Netflix, Comcast could potentially slow Netflix s streaming and download speeds. Now that s scary.Not only does rolling back net neutrality protections disrupt internet fairness, without them it could become harder for those in rural, less populated areas to receive adequate coverage. A past report by the FCC concluded that net neutrality protects broadband users from discriminatory practices that whittle away public Internet. It went on to assert that Openness is not just another principle. The value of open networks is not a novel concept, but the Commission must act to ensure that the genius of the open Internet is not lost. Net neutrality rules are particularly important for rural broadband subscribers who may have only one provider. The report states that the FCC needs to be instrumental in watching for and adjudicating discriminatory practices.Why do Republicans, like Pai, want to put an end to net neutrality.An April Wall Street Journal op-ed hails Pai s plan because it would revert to the bipartisan consensus that the internet should be unfettered by Federal or State regulation . Supporters want freedom for the ISP s. Freedom, Democrat Commissioner Clyburn points out, that the courts have ruled against three times.Alas, the FCC voted 1-3 to begin the process to peel back neutrality rules. Her words of dissent fell on deaf ears, but they may come to be an epithet if the proposition passes. If you unequivocally trust that your broadband provider will always put the public interest over self interest, then the destroying internet freedom [proposal] is for you.

MAINSTREAM MEDIA IGNORES MASSIVE PROTEST Against Obama’s Sweetheart Deal For Corporations: “Biggest protest this country has seen for many, many years”Wait we thought Obama and the Democrats were supposed to be standing up to the evil corporations and standing up for the every day American?When it comes to official and media opinion on Obama s crowning trade achievements , the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade And Investment Partnership (TTIP), the party line is united. As previously noted, Barack Obama has assured the population that this treaty is going to be wonderful for everyone:In hailing the agreement, Obama said, Congress and the American people will have months to read every word before he signs the deal that he described as a win for all sides. If we can get this agreement to my desk, then we can help our businesses sell more Made in America goods and services around the world, and we can help more American workers compete and win, Obama said.The mainstream media s chorus of support for these trade deal is likewise deafening: here are some indicative headlines from this past Monday:Time Magazine: Pacific Trade Deal Is Good for the U.S. and Obama s Legacy The Washington Post: The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a trade deal worth celebrating The far less popular opposing view, one repeatedly presented here, is that like with every other free trade agreement that the U.S. has entered into since World War II, the exact opposite is what will actually happen: the outcome will be that the US trade deficit (which excluding petroleum is already back to record levels) will get even larger, and we will see even more jobs and even more businesses go overseas, thus explaining the secrecy and the fast-track nature of the TPP and TTIP s passage through Congress.And while the US population, which is far more perturbed by what Caitlyn Jenner will wear tomorrow than D.C. s plans on the future of world trade, has been mute in its response to the passage of the first part of the trade treaty, the TPP after all the MSM isn t there to tell it how to feel about it, aside to assure it that everything will be great even as millions of highly-paid jobs mysteriously become line cooks other countries are standing up against globalist trade interests meant to serve a handful of corporations.Case in point Germany, where today hundreds of thousands of people marched in Berlin in protest against the planned free trade deal between Europe and the United States which they say is anti-democratic and will lower food safety, labor and environmental standards.TTIP critics fear that it would lead to worse safeguards in Europe, bringing down standards for consumer safety, food and health or labor rights down to those in America. European nations have stricter regulations for things like genetically modified foods or workers benefits than the US does. There is also discontent with the secretive nature of the negotiations, which prompts skeptics to assume the worst about the document they would eventually produce.The organizers an alliance of environmental groups, charities and opposition parties claimed that 250,000 people were taking part in the rally against free trade deals with both the United States and Canada, far more than they had anticipated. This is the biggest protest that this country has seen for many, many years, Christoph Bautz, director of citizens movement Campact told protesters in a speech.According to Reuters, opposition to the so-called Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) has risen over the past year in Germany, with critics fearing the pact will hand too much power to big multinationals at the expense of consumers and workers. Popular anger appears to be focused on the encroachment by corporations into every corner around the globe: What bothers me the most is that I don t want all our consumer laws to be softened, Oliver Zloty told Reuters TV. And I don t want to have a dictatorship by any companies.

After turbulent week, Trump revisits talk of 'rigged election'PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (Reuters) - U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, fighting to overcome setbacks and polls showing a tough path to the White House, on Saturday doubled down on his claim that the U.S. election is rigged against him. Trump challenged accusations from several women that he made unwanted sexual advances toward them. Trump spokesman Jason Miller denied a new allegation that surfaced on Saturday, saying there was “no way” Trump had kissed a woman without permission 20 years ago at his Florida resort. Trump told an outdoor rally in New Hampshire on Saturday that the media was sharing the accusations against him to boost Democrat Hillary Clinton and damage his own White House hopes. Trump has presented no evidence for claims he has made for months that the election could be fixed to prevent him from reaching the Oval Office. Leaders on both sides of the political spectrum worry that this rhetoric, which supporters sometimes repeat in interviews, undermines the democratic process. “It looks to me like a rigged election,” Trump said in New Hampshire. “The election is being rigged by corrupt media pushing completely false allegations and outright lies in an effort to elect her president.” He started the day tweeting several times that the election was being swayed by a media conspiracy. “This election is being rigged by the media pushing false and unsubstantiated charges, and outright lies, in order to elect Crooked Hillary!” he said in one Twitter post. He reiterated similar claims at a later rally in Bangor, Maine. Clinton, a former U.S. secretary of state, led Trump by seven percentage points in the most recent Reuters/Ipsos national opinion poll of voters. A new analysis found she was heavily favored to reach the 270 Electoral College votes needed to secure the presidency. Trump’s campaign said on Saturday it had raised a total of $100 million in September, mostly from small donors but also including a $2 million monthly contribution from Trump. At the same time, the campaign squabbled with the Republican party in Ohio, a key swing state in the Nov. 8 election, whose Republican leaders have not been shy about concerns with Trump. On Saturday, Trump’s Ohio state director released a letter saying that Ohio Republican Party Chairman Matt Borges “no longer has any affiliation” with the campaign. Borges responded that the state party had been actively helping Trump there. Trump’s speech in New Hampshire was intended to focus on a plan to end deaths caused by opioid overdoses, something he often mentions on the campaign trail. But he deviated from policy proposals to air his allegations of election-rigging and his response to new groping accusations, 24 days before the election. Trump has been fending off the accusations since the release of a 2005 video in which he was recorded bragging about making unwanted sexual advances toward women. Trump has said the boasts were merely words and he has denied each of the allegations. The latest woman to come forward, Cathy Heller, 63, of New York, told the Guardian newspaper that in or around 1997, Trump kissed her on the lips upon first meeting her during a Mother’s Day brunch at his Florida estate. She told the newspaper she leaned away, then turned her head, and he kissed the side of her mouth. Reuters could not confirm the allegations by Heller, who has contributed to Clinton’s campaign. The Guardian said it spoke to a relative who saw part of the interaction. “There is no way that something like this would have happened in a public place on Mother’s Day at Mr. Trump’s resort,” Miller, the Trump spokesman, said in a statement. “It would have been the talk of Palm Beach for the past two decades.” On Saturday, Trump deemed “crazy” another woman, Jessica Leeds, now 74, who said he groped her on an airplane in or around 1980. He also denied allegations of unwanted contact by Summer Zervos, a former contestant on Trump’s show “The Apprentice,” who said he kissed her during a meeting about a possible job. Trump said Zervos’ first cousin called her a “huge fan of Donald Trump,” referring to a letter the campaign released to media. Trump also told the New Hampshire crowd that he and Clinton were “like athletes” gearing up for the final presidential debate on Wednesday in Las Vegas, and he implied Clinton might have been on drugs during their last match-up. “I think we should take a drug test prior to the debate,” Trump said. “In the beginning of her last debate she was all pumped up at the beginning and at the end she was like uh, take me down.” politicsNews | 1 | after turbulent week trump revisits talk reuters republican presidential nominee donald trump fighting overcome setbacks polls showing tough path white house saturday doubled claim election rigged trump challenged accusations several women made unwanted sexual advances toward trump spokesman jason miller denied new allegation surfaced saturday saying way trump kissed woman without permission years ago florida resort trump told outdoor rally new hampshire saturday media sharing accusations boost democrat hillary clinton damage white house hopes trump presented evidence claims made months election could fixed prevent reaching oval office leaders sides political spectrum worry rhetoric supporters sometimes repeat interviews undermines democratic process it looks like rigged election trump said new hampshire the election rigged corrupt media pushing completely false allegations outright lies effort elect he started day meeting several times election swayed media conspiracy this election rigged media pushing false unsubstantiated charges outright lies order elect crooked hillary said one twitter post he reiterated similar claims later rally banner maine clinton former secretary state led trump seven percentage points recent national opinion poll voters a new analysis found heavily favored reach electoral college votes needed secure presidency trump campaign said saturday raised total million september mostly small donors also including million monthly contribution trump at time campaign squabbled republican party ohio key swing state election whose republican leaders shy concerns trump on saturday trump ohio state director released letter saying ohio republican party chairman matt barges longer affiliation campaign barges responded state party actively helping trump trump speech new hampshire intended focus plan end deaths caused opioid overdose something often mentions campaign trail but deviated policy proposals air allegations response new growing accusations days election trump ending accusations since release video recorded bragging making unwanted sexual advances toward women trump said boasts merely words denied allegations the latest woman come forward catchy helper new york told guardian newspaper around trump kissed lips upon first meeting mother day branch florida estate she told newspaper leaned away turned head kissed side mouth reuters could confirm allegations helper contributed clinton campaign the guardian said spoke relative saw part interaction there way something like would happened public place mother day trump resort miller trump spokesman said statement it would talk palm beach past two on saturday trump deemed crazy another woman jessica leeds said grouped airplane around he also denied allegations unwanted contact summer zeros former contestant trump show the apprentice said kissed meeting possible job trump said zeros first cousin called huge fan donald trump referring letter campaign released media trump also told new hampshire crowd clinton like athletes gearing final presidential debate wednesday las vegas implied clinton might drugs last i think take drug test prior debate trump said in beginning last debate pumped beginning end like uh take politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

French Foreign Minister says Trump's handling of China 'not very clever'PARIS (Reuters) - France’s foreign minister on Wednesday accused U.S. president-elect Donald Trump of showing a lack of respect toward China after comments that put into question the “one China” principle. Trump said on Sunday the United States did not necessarily have to stick to its long-standing position that Taiwan is part of “one China”, further upsetting China which was already angered by Trump’s earlier telephone call with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen. “China is a big country. We can have our differences with China, but you don’t talk to a partner like that,” Jean-Marc-Ayrault told France 2 television. “When China feels questioned on its unity, that’s not exactly very clever.” China’s Taiwan Affairs Office said on Wednesday any interference with or damage to the “one China” principle would have a serious impact on peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. The issue is highly sensitive for China, which considers Taiwan a renegade province, and Beijing expressed “serious concern” about Trump’s remarks. “We need to avoid things spiraling out of control,” Ayrault said. “So I hope that the new team will have learnt enough so that we manage an uncertain world with more sang-froid and responsibility.” politicsNews | 1 | french foreign minister says trump handling china reuters france foreign minister wednesday accused donald trump showing lack respect toward china comments put question one china principle trump said sunday united states necessarily stick position taiwan part one china upsetting china already angered trump earlier telephone call taiwan president tai china big country we differences china talk partner like told france television when china feels questioned unity exactly china taiwan affairs office said wednesday interference damage one china principle would serious impact peace stability taiwan strait the issue highly sensitive china considers taiwan renegade province beijing expressed serious concern trump remarks we need avoid things spirulina control assault said so i hope new team learnt enough manage uncertain world politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Trump travel ban fight heads toward Supreme Court showdownWASHINGTON (Reuters) - The fate of President Donald Trump’s order to ban travelers from six predominantly Muslim nations, blocked by federal courts, may soon be in the hands of the conservative-majority Supreme Court, where his appointee Neil Gorsuch could help settle the matter. After the Richmond-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declined on Thursday to lift a Maryland federal judge’s injunction halting the temporary ban ordered by Trump on March 6, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said the administration would appeal to the Supreme Court. A second regional federal appeals court heard arguments on May 15 in Seattle in the administration’s appeal of a decision by a federal judge in Hawaii also to block the ban. A ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is pending. The Justice Department has not made clear when the administration would make its formal appeal or whether it would wait for the 9th Circuit ruling before appealing. If they take it up, the justices would be called upon to decide whether courts should always defer to the president over allowing certain people to enter the country, especially when national security is the stated reason for an action as in this case. They also would have to decide if Trump’s order violated the U.S. Constitution’s bar against the government favoring one religion over another, as the ban’s challengers assert. Gorsuch’s April confirmation by the Republican-led Senate over Democratic opposition restored the court’s 5-4 majority, which means that if all the conservative justices side with the administration the ban would be restored regardless of how the four liberal justices vote. During his Senate confirmation hearing, Gorsuch was questioned about Trump’s criticism of judges who ruled against the ban. Gorsuch avoided commenting on the legal issue, saying only that he would not be “rubber stamp” for any president. While the justices could decide in the coming weeks whether to hear the case, they likely would not hold oral arguments until late in the year, with a ruling sometime after that. A final resolution may not come until perhaps a year after Trump issued the executive order. The justices are not required to hear any case, but this one meets important criteria cited by experts, including that it would be the federal government filing the appeal and that it involves a nationwide injunction. The administration could file an emergency application seeking to put the order into effect while the litigation on its legality continues. At least five justices must agree for any such request to be granted. While the court could split 5-4 along ideological lines, it also is possible some conservative justices could join the liberals in overturning the travel ban, libertarian law professor Ilya Somin of George Mason University said. “Conservatives in other contexts often take a hard line against any kind of government discrimination (based) on race or religion or the like, even if the motivation may be benign. Also conservatives have concerns about government infringements on religion,” Somin said. The 4th Circuit said the ban’s challengers, including refugee groups, in the case argued by the American Civil Liberties Union were likely to succeed on their claim that the order violated the Constitution’s prohibition on the government favoring or disfavoring any religion. In the 10-3 ruling, three Republican-appointed judges dissented. The Republican president’s March 6 order, replacing an earlier Jan. 27 one also blocked by the courts, called for barring people from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days while the government implements stricter visa screening. It also called for suspending all refugee admissions for 120 days. The travel ban’s challengers may take some comfort from the appeals court ruling’s reliance on a concurring opinion in a 2015 Supreme Court immigration case by Justice Anthony Kennedy, a conservative who sometimes sides with the court’s liberals in big cases. In the 2015 case, Kennedy wrote that in the immigration context, the government’s actions can be questioned if there is evidence of bad faith. “As with any opinion by Justice Kennedy, I think the million-dollar question is just what he meant in his concurrence, and this may be a perfect case to find out,” University of Texas School of Law professor Stephen Vladeck said. In Thursday’s ruling, 4th Circuit Chief Judge Roger Gregory wrote that the plaintiffs had shown there was “ample evidence” of bad faith, which gave the green light to probe whether there were reasons for the order other than the administration’s stated national security rationale. The administration has argued the temporary travel ban was needed to guard against terrorist attacks. Gregory wrote that the order uses “vague words of national security, but in context drips with religious intolerance, animus, and discrimination.” Trump during the presidential campaign called for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.” politicsNews | 1 | trump travel ban fight heads toward supreme court showdownwashington reuters the fate president donald trump order ban travelers six predominantly muslim nations blocked federal courts may soon hands supreme court appointee neil gorsuch could help settle matter after circuit court appeals declined thursday lift maryland federal judge injunction halting temporary ban ordered trump march attorney general jeff sessions said administration would appeal supreme court a second regional federal appeals court heard arguments may seattle administration appeal decision federal judge hawaii also block ban a ruling circuit court appeals pending the justice department made clear administration would make formal appeal whether would wait circuit ruling appealing if take justices would called upon decide whether courts always defer president allowing certain people enter country especially national security stated reason action case they also would decide trump order violated constitution bar government favoring one religion another ban challengers assert gorsuch april confirmation senate democratic opposition restored court majority means conservative justices side administration ban would restored regardless four liberal justices vote during senate confirmation hearing gorsuch questioned trump criticism judges ruled ban gorsuch avoided commenting legal issue saying would rubber stamp president while justices could decide coming weeks whether hear case likely would hold oral arguments late year ruling sometime a final resolution may come perhaps year trump issued executive order the justices required hear case one meets important criteria cited experts including would federal government filing appeal involves nationwide injunction the administration could file emergency application seeking put order effect litigation legality continues at least five justices must agree request granted while court could split along ideological lines also possible conservative justices could join liberals overturning travel ban libertarian law professor ila domain george mason university said conservatives contexts often take hard line kind government discrimination based race religion like even motivation may benign also conservatives concerns government infringement religion domain said the circuit said ban challengers including refugee groups case argued american civil liberties union likely succeed claim order violated constitution prohibition government favoring disfavoring religion in ruling three judges dissented the republican president march order replacing earlier one also blocked courts called barring people iran libya somalia sudan syria yemen days government implements stricter visa screening it also called suspending refugee admissions days the travel ban challengers may take comfort appeals court ruling reliance concurring opinion supreme court immigration case justice anthony kennedy conservative sometimes sides court liberals big cases in case kennedy wrote immigration context government actions questioned evidence bad faith as opinion justice kennedy i think question meant concurrence may perfect case find university texas school law professor stephen vladeck said in thursday ruling circuit chief judge roger gregory wrote plaintiffs shown ample evidence bad faith gave green light probe whether reasons order administration stated national security rationale the administration argued temporary travel ban needed guard terrorist attacks gregory wrote order uses vague words national security context drops religious intolerance animals trump presidential campaign called total complete shutdown muslims entering united politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

HOW COLLEGES PUNISH HIGH ACHIEVERS: Check “African American” On SAT Test, ADD 230 Points…Check “Asian,” DEDUCT 50 PointsThis is a stunning story of how the Left gets away with punishing hard work and accomplishment all in the name of fairness. Who decides which minority population is more important than another? In a windowless classroom at an Arcadia tutoring center, parents crammed into child-sized desks and dug through their pockets and purses for pens as Ann Lee launches a PowerPoint presentation.Her primer on college admissions begins with the basics: application deadlines, the relative virtues of the SAT versus the ACT and how many Advanced Placement tests to take.Then she eases into a potentially incendiary topic one that many counselors like her have learned they cannot avoid. Let s talk about Asians, she says.Lee s next slide shows three columns of numbers from a Princeton University study that tried to measure how race and ethnicity affect admissions by using SAT scores as a benchmark. It uses the term bonus to describe how many extra SAT points an applicant s race is worth. She points to the first column.African Americans received a bonus of 230 points, Lee says.She points to the second column. Hispanics received a bonus of 185 points. The last column draws gasps.Asian Americans, Lee says, are penalized by 50 points in other words, they had to do that much better to win admission. Do Asians need higher test scores? Is it harder for Asians to get into college? The answer is yes, Lee says. Zenme keyi, one mother hisses in Chinese. How can this be possible?College admission season ignites deep anxieties for Asian American families, who spend more than any other demographic on education. At elite universities across the U.S., Asian Americans form a larger share of the student body than they do of the population as a whole. And increasingly they have turned against affirmative action policies that could alter those ratios, and accuse admissions committees of discriminating against Asian American applicants.Everyone works hard and struggles. But there s this feeling that it s going to be harder for us. Lawrence Leonn, 16HERE is a perfect example of how Americans have allowed Asian minority status to be discounted in favor of the more vocal Black students on campus:And there is the case of the young Asian reporter who dared to attempt to cover University Of Missouri s Black Lives Matter event. There was certainly no media outcry at the bullying and the horrible treatment he received by students and faculty alike. Click HERE for the full story and video.That perspective has pitted them against advocates for diversity: More college berths for Asian American students mean fewer for black and Latino students, who are statistically underrepresented at top universities.But in the San Gabriel Valley s hyper-competitive ethnic Asian communities, arguments for diversity can sometimes fall on deaf ears. For immigrant parents raised in Asia s all-or-nothing test cultures, a good education is not just a measure of success it s a matter of survival. They see academic achievement as a moral virtue, and families organize their lives around their child s education, moving to the best school districts and paying for tutoring and tennis lessons. An acceptance letter from a prestigious college is often the only acceptable return on an investment that stretches over decades.Lee is the co-founder of HS2 Academy, a college prep business that assumes that racial bias is a fact of college admissions and counsels students accordingly. At 10 centers across the state, the academy s counselors teach countermeasures to Asian American applicants. The goal, Lee says, is to help prospective college students avoid coming off like another cookie-cutter Asian. Being of Asian descent, the junior says, is a disadvantage. The problem, she says, is in the numbers.Asian families flock to the San Gabriel Valley s school districts because they have some of the highest Academic Performance Index scores in the state. But with hundreds of top-performing students at each high school, focusing on a small set of elite institutions, it s easy to get lost in the crowd.Of the school s 4,000 students, nearly 3,000 are of Asian descent, and like Yue are willing to do whatever it takes to gain entrance to a prestigious university. They will study until they can t remember how to have fun and stuff their schedules with extracurriculars. But there s an important part of their college applications that they can t improve as easily as an SAT score: their ethnicity.In the San Gabriel Valley, where aspirationally named tutoring centers such as Little Harvard and Ivy League cluster within walking distance of high schools, many of them priced more cheaply than a baby-sitter, it didn t take long for some centers to respond to students and parents fears of being edged out of a top school because of some intangible missing quality. I don t want to be racist or anything, Lawrence said. Everyone works hard and struggles. But there s this feeling that it s going to be harder for us. Complaints about bias in college admissions have persisted since at least the 1920s, when a Harvard University president tried to cap the number of Jewish students. In November, a group called Students for Fair Admissions filed a suit against Harvard University for admissions policies that allegedly discriminate against Asian Americans. The group cited the 2004 Princeton study and other sources that offer statistics about Asian Americans test performance.At the University of Texas at Austin, an affirmative action policy that allows admissions committees to consider the race of prospective applicants has been argued all the way to the Supreme Court. (The policies were upheld by a lower court, but that court s decision was voided by the Supreme Court. Another court upheld the policies and another appeal is pending.)Those who defend holistic admissions policies insist that considering a broader range of variables ensures that all applicants are judged fairly. And the Princeton study Lee refers to has been widely criticized by academics who argue that it relies too heavily on grades and test scores to draw conclusions about racial bias and that the data the study uses are too old to be relevant.Still, anxiety over racial admissions rates is peaking as cash-crunched public universities increasingly favor high-paying out-of-state and foreign students at the expense of local applicants of every ethnicity. A 2014 bill that would have asked voters to consider restoring race as a factor in admissions to public California colleges and universities sparked multiple public protests and scathing editorials in Chinese newspapers. The bill, Senate Constitutional Amendment 5, was shelved last year. That same ethic causes parents and students to agonize over which box, if any, to check on the race and nationality section of the application. One parent asked Zell whether it would help to legally change the family name to something more Western-sounding.Last year, a rumor that Harvard University would stop accepting any more Asian American students from San Marino High School spread like a trending hashtag.Mollie Beckler, a counselor at San Marino High School, says that Harvard never imposed such a rule. School counselors are continually trying to dispel myths like these, she says, if only in hopes of slightly lowering the huge stress students shoulder because of their intense focus on elite schools. The feeling of failure they get from trying to reach such high standards, she said, is very concerning to us in the counseling world. Only a few of the San Gabriel Valley s tutoring centers confront the ethnic admissions issue head-on.Jamie Aviles, a counselor at the ACI Institute, doesn t teach ways to overcome perceived racial bias, she says. But she and many other counselors do agree on at least one thing.As Aviles puts it: It sucks to be a kid in the San Gabriel Valley.

She points to the first column.African Americans received a bonus of 230 points, Lee says.She points to the second column. Hispanics received a bonus of 185 points. The last column draws gasps.Asian Americans, Lee says, are penalized by 50 points in other words, they had to do that much better to win admission. Do Asians need higher test scores? Is it harder for Asians to get into college? The answer is yes, Lee says. Zenme keyi, one mother hisses in Chinese. How can this be possible?College admission season ignites deep anxieties for Asian American families, who spend more than any other demographic on education. At elite universities across the U.S., Asian Americans form a larger share of the student body than they do of the population as a whole. And increasingly they have turned against affirmative action policies that could alter those ratios, and accuse admissions committees of discriminating against Asian American applicants.Everyone works hard and struggles. But there s this feeling that it s going to be harder for us. Lawrence Leonn, 16HERE is a perfect example of how Americans have allowed Asian minority status to be discounted in favor of the more vocal Black students on campus:And there is the case of the young Asian reporter who dared to attempt to cover University Of Missouri s Black Lives Matter event. There was certainly no media outcry at the bullying and the horrible treatment he received by students and faculty alike. Click HERE for the full story and video.That perspective has pitted them against advocates for diversity: More college berths for Asian American students mean fewer for black and Latino students, who are statistically underrepresented at top universities.But in the San Gabriel Valley s hyper-competitive ethnic Asian communities, arguments for diversity can sometimes fall on deaf ears. For immigrant parents raised in Asia s all-or-nothing test cultures, a good education is not just a measure of success it s a matter of survival. They see academic achievement as a moral virtue, and families organize their lives around their child s education, moving to the best school districts and paying for tutoring and tennis lessons. An acceptance letter from a prestigious college is often the only acceptable return on an investment that stretches over decades.Lee is the co-founder of HS2 Academy, a college prep business that assumes that racial bias is a fact of college admissions and counsels students accordingly. At 10 centers across the state, the academy s counselors teach countermeasures to Asian American applicants. The goal, Lee says, is to help prospective college students avoid coming off like another cookie-cutter Asian. Being of Asian descent, the junior says, is a disadvantage. The problem, she says, is in the numbers.Asian families flock to the San Gabriel Valley s school districts because they have some of the highest Academic Performance Index scores in the state. But with hundreds of top-performing students at each high school, focusing on a small set of elite institutions, it s easy to get lost in the crowd.Of the school s 4,000 students, nearly 3,000 are of Asian descent, and like Yue are willing to do whatever it takes to gain entrance to a prestigious university. They will study until they can t remember how to have fun and stuff their schedules with extracurriculars. But there s an important part of their college applications that they can t improve as easily as an SAT score: their ethnicity.In the San Gabriel Valley, where aspirationally named tutoring centers such as Little Harvard and Ivy League cluster within walking distance of high schools, many of them priced more cheaply than a baby-sitter, it didn t take long for some centers to respond to students and parents fears of being edged out of a top school because of some intangible missing quality. I don t want to be racist or anything, Lawrence said. Everyone works hard and struggles. But there s this feeling that it s going to be harder for us. Complaints about bias in college admissions have persisted since at least the 1920s, when a Harvard University president tried to cap the number of Jewish students. In November, a group called Students for Fair Admissions filed a suit against Harvard University for admissions policies that allegedly discriminate against Asian Americans. The group cited the 2004 Princeton study and other sources that offer statistics about Asian Americans test performance.At the University of Texas at Austin, an affirmative action policy that allows admissions committees to consider the race of prospective applicants has been argued all the way to the Supreme Court. (The policies were upheld by a lower court, but that court s decision was voided by the Supreme Court. Another court upheld the policies and another appeal is pending.)Those who defend holistic admissions policies insist that considering a broader range of variables ensures that all applicants are judged fairly. And the Princeton study Lee refers to has been widely criticized by academics who argue that it relies too heavily on grades and test scores to draw conclusions about racial bias and that the data the study uses are too old to be relevant.Still, anxiety over racial admissions rates is peaking as cash-crunched public universities increasingly favor high-paying out-of-state and foreign students at the expense of local applicants of every ethnicity. A 2014 bill that would have asked voters to consider restoring race as a factor in admissions to public California colleges and universities sparked multiple public protests and scathing editorials in Chinese newspapers. The bill, Senate Constitutional Amendment 5, was shelved last year. That same ethic causes parents and students to agonize over which box, if any, to check on the race and nationality section of the application. One parent asked Zell whether it would help to legally change the family name to something more Western-sounding.Last year, a rumor that Harvard University would stop accepting any more Asian American students from San Marino High School spread like a trending hashtag.Mollie Beckler, a counselor at San Marino High School, says that Harvard never imposed such a rule. School counselors are continually trying to dispel myths like these, she says, if only in hopes of slightly lowering the huge stress students shoulder because of their intense focus on elite schools. The feeling of failure they get from trying to reach such high standards, she said, is very concerning to us in the counseling world. Only a few of the San Gabriel Valley s tutoring centers confront the ethnic admissions issue head-on.Jamie Aviles, a counselor at the ACI Institute, doesn t teach ways to overcome perceived racial bias, she says. But she and many other counselors do agree on at least one thing.As Aviles puts it: It sucks to be a kid in the San Gabriel Valley.

BREAKING: PICTURE OF MOTHER Whose Boy Climbed Into Gorilla Cage Is Revealed…Angry Black Twitter Users Humiliated After Blaming “White Privilege” For Gorilla’s DeathHere s what some ignorant race baiting Twitter users had to say about the recent tragedy that involved the killing of a Silverback Gorilla, after a 4 year old boy fell into the exhibit in the Cincinnati Zoo. One of the users claimed the white boy who was only saved because he was white. Meanwhile, one of these fools actually said if the boy was black the endangered gorilla would have only been tranquilized. LOL!Tweets are courtesy of Breitbart News:There are so many things we could point out that are wrong with these ignorant tweets, but clearly the most stinging mistake was the accusations being made about the skin color of the boy.Here s a picture the mother of the 4-year-old boy who fell into the Gorilla World exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo, which lead to the fatal shooting of Harambe the gorilla. She has been identified as Michelle Gregg. She is clearly not suffering from white privilege LOL!The 32-year-old mom of four and Cincinnati resident posted a now-deleted Facebook post thanking the zoo for making the difficult decision to shoot the gorilla to save her son.Here is her Facebook post explaining the incident:Harambe, a 17-year-old western lowland silverback gorilla, was killed after dragging the boy through a moat inside the exhibit.Watch video here: The Zoo security team s quick response saved the child s life. We are all devastated that this tragic accident resulted in the death of a critically-endangered gorilla, Zoo Director Thane Maynard said in a statement. This is a huge loss for the Zoo family and the gorilla population worldwide. Videos of the incident were recorded by a bystander and posted on social media. The videos show the 400-pound gorilla grabbing the 4-year-old boy and dragging him through a moat area. He then stops and stands over the boy, before dragging him further into the enclosure.During one part of the video, which you can watch below, Michelle Gregg can be heard talking to her crying son and saying Oh God, please protect him, while panicked zoo visitors call for help. Isaiah, be calm, Gregg calls out. Be calm, be calm. In another part of the video, she can be heard saying, Mommy s right here, and mommy loves you. Kim O Connor, who recorded video of the incident, said it appeared the gorilla was trying to protect the child. I don t know if the screaming did it or too many people hanging on the edge, if he thought we were coming in, but then he pulled the boy down away further from the big group, Kim O Connor told WLWT-TV.Cincinnati Fire Chief Marc Monahan said in a statement to NBC News that the gorilla was seen violently dragging and throwing the child. He said the gorilla was neutralized by a Cincinnati Zoo employee with one shot from a long rifle.The family issued this statement through a PR firm: We are so thankful to the Lord that our child is safe. He is home and doing just fine. We extend our heartfelt thanks for the quick action by the Cincinnati Zoo staff, the statement from Gail Myers Public Relations said. We know that this was a very difficult decision for them, and that they are grieving the loss of their gorilla. We hope that you will respect our privacy at this time.

Clinton would stick with Garland as nominee for Supreme Court: ReidWASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said on Thursday he believed Hillary Clinton would stick with President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee if she won the Nov. 8 presidential election. Some Republican conservatives were concerned that if Democratic presidential candidate Clinton won the White House, she would pick a more liberal judge than Obama’s nominee, Merrick Garland, for a lifetime appointment to the high court. Garland is a centrist federal appeals court judge whom a number of Republicans have praised. “I would think that she and all the people around her would say, ‘Why do we need to rock the boat here? Let’s get him confirmed quickly and move on to the next one, whenever that comes,’” Reid said on a conference call with reporters. Clinton has urged the Senate to confirm Garland. Her campaign did not immediately return a request for comment on Reid’s remarks. Senate Democrats may try to force a vote on procedural motions that, if successful, would lead to a vote on Garland before the new president takes office in January, Reid said. He invited along Republicans who want to distance themselves from their party’s controversial presidential candidate, Donald Trump. “We have a couple of options and we are deciding when to do that. And if we should do that. When and if,” Reid said. The leader of the Republican-controlled Senate, Mitch McConnell, has refused to schedule hearings on the nomination of Garland, saying the winner of the Nov. 8 presidential election should choose the Supreme Court justice. Obama nominated Garland on March 16 to replace conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, who died on Feb. 13. “The majority leader has been clear: the next president will make the nomination for this vacancy,” Don Stewart, deputy chief of staff for McConnell, said in an email. A number of Republican senators in tough re-election fights are trying to distance themselves from their party’s controversial nominee, yet they refuse to hold a vote on Garland, Reid said. He said those Republicans should call on McConnell to confirm Garland, not hold the Supreme Court seat for someone as “radical and unfit” as Trump, a New York businessman who has never held public office. “They spend a lot of time these Republicans, spending a lot of energy trying to separate themselves from Donald Trump. But as long as they’re holding a Supreme Court seat open for him, they’re his minions. They’re his enablers,” Reid said. politicsNews | 1 | clinton would stick garland nominee supreme court reidwashington reuters senate democratic leader harry reid said thursday believed hillary clinton would stick president barack obama supreme court nominee presidential election some republican conservatives concerned democratic presidential candidate clinton white house would pick liberal judge obama nominee derrick garland lifetime appointment high court garland centrist federal appeals court judge number republicans praised i would think people around would say why need rock boat let get confirmed quickly move next one whenever comes reid said conference call reporters clinton urged senate confirm garland her campaign immediately return request comment reid remarks senate democrats may try force vote procedural motions successful would lead vote garland new president takes office january reid said he invited along republicans want distance party controversial presidential candidate donald trump we couple options deciding and when reid said the leader senate mitch mcconnell refused schedule hearings nomination garland saying winner presidential election choose supreme court justice obama nominated garland march replace conservative justice antonio scale died the majority leader clear next president make nomination vacancy don stewart deputy chief staff mcconnell said email a number republican senators tough fights trying distance party controversial nominee yet refuse hold vote garland reid said he said republicans call mcconnell confirm garland hold supreme court seat someone radical unfit trump new york businessman never held public office they spend lot time republicans spending lot energy trying separate donald trump but long holding supreme court seat open minions they enables reid said politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

China tells Japan not to abandon dialogue over North KoreaBEIJING (Reuters) - Japan talking only about sanctions on North Korea rather than dialogue will be seen as going against United Nations resolutions, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his Japanese counterpart. Tensions have continued to rise since North Korea carried out its sixth nuclear test on Sept. 3, prompting a new round of U.N. sanctions. Wang told Japan Foreign Minister Taro Kono on the sidelines of a United Nations meeting in New York that the situation on the Korean peninsula was getting increasingly serious and all sides needed to remain calm. Resuming peace talks was just as much a part of the U.N. resolutions as enforcing sanctions, Wang said, according to a statement issued by China’s Foreign Ministry late on Friday. “If the Japanese side only talks about sanctions and does not bring up talks, or even goes against talks, it will be seen as contravening Security Council resolutions,” the ministry cited Wang as saying. China hoped that Japan talked and acted cautiously and played a constructive role on the nuclear issue, he said. Beijing has repeatedly expressed concern about the rise of tensions over North Korea and, while it too has signed up for the increasingly tough U.N. sanctions, it has also urged a return to talks and for all parties to exercise restraint. On Friday, Russia urged “hot heads” to calm down as the United States admitted it felt “challenged” by North Korea’s warning that it could test a hydrogen bomb over the Pacific. Trump called North Korean leader Kim Jong Un a “madman” on Friday, a day after Kim dubbed him a “mentally deranged U.S. dotard” who would face the “highest level of hard-line countermeasure in history” in retaliation for Trump saying the U.S. would “totally destroy” North Korea if it threatened the United States or its allies. politicsNews | 1 | china tells japan abandon dialogue north koreabeijing reuters japan talking sanctions north korea rather dialogue seen going united nations resolutions chinese foreign minister wang yi told japanese counterpart tensions continued rise since north korea carried sixth nuclear test prompting new round sanctions wang told japan foreign minister taro kong sidelines united nations meeting new york situation korean peninsula getting increasingly serious sides needed remain calm resuming peace talks much part resolutions enforcing sanctions wang said according statement issued china foreign ministry late friday if japanese side talks sanctions bring talks even goes talks seen contravening security council resolutions ministry cited wang saying china hoped japan talked acted cautiously played constructive role nuclear issue said beijing repeatedly expressed concern rise tensions north korea signed increasingly tough sanctions also urged return talks parties exercise restraint on friday russia urged hot heads calm united states admitted felt challenged north korea warning could test hydrogen bomb pacific trump called north korean leader kim jong un madman friday day kim dubbed mentally deranged douard would face highest level countermeasures history retaliation trump saying would totally destroy north korea threatened united states allies politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

ZIMBABWE’S CORRUPT GOVERNMENT SEEKS EXTRADITION OF AMERICAN LION HUNTER: Secret Memo Shows U.S. Was Aware Of $45-$60 Million Trophy Hunting BusinessSo much outrage by so many corrupt people it s hard to keep track. One thing we know for sure no matter where you are in the world, you know you can always count on American citizens to seek justice against anyone who would harm an animal. Ripping innocent human babies limbs off and harvesting their parts for profit not so much As usual, there is none more culpable of the recent event in Zimbabwe, which incidentally is and has been quite permitted by the local authorities as long as everyone s palms are appropriately greased, than the US government, which years ago was fully aware that Americans were killing lions in Hwange National Park, but that its concern was not with the dead animals no matter how hard the administration tries to feign empathy for the beheaded lion here and now but with Americans getting caught in the act.al.com Zimbabwe intends to seek the extradition of an American dentist who killed a lion that was lured out of a national park and shot with a bow and a gun, and the process has already begun, a Cabinet minister said Friday. Unfortunately it was too late to apprehend the foreign poacher as he had already absconded to his country of origin, Oppah Muchinguri, Zimbabwe s environment, water and climate minister, told a news conference. We are appealing to the responsible authorities for his extradition to Zimbabwe so that he be made accountable. On Tuesday, American hunter Walter James Palmer issued a statement saying he relied on his guides to ensure the hunt was legal. Two Zimbabweans a professional hunter and a farm owner have been arrested in the lion killing that garnered worldwide condemnation. There has been an outcry, Muchinguri said. Almost 500,000 people are calling for his extradition and we need this support. We want him tried in Zimbabwe because he violated our laws. I have already consulted with the authorities within the police force who are responsible for arresting the criminal. We have certain processes we have to follow. Police should take the first step to approach the prosecutor general who will approach the Americans. The processes have already started. The Cabinet minister said both Palmer and professional hunter Theo Bronkhorst violated the Parks and Wildlife Act, which controls the use of bow and arrow hunting. He said Palmer, who reportedly paid $50,000 to hunt the lion, also violated the act through financing an illegal hunt. The landowner violated the act because he allowed a hunt to be conducted without a quota and necessary permit, Muchinguri said.Muchinguri accused Palmer of a well-orchestrated agenda which would tarnish the image of Zimbabwe and further strain the relationship between Zimbabwe and the USA. Palmer is believed to have shot the lion with a bow on July 1 outside Hwange National Park, after it was lured onto private land with a carcass of an animal laid out on a car. Some 40 hours later, the wounded cat was tracked down and Palmer allegedly killed it with a gun.Palmer, 55, is a dentist in the Minneapolis suburb of Bloomington. In a note to his patients, he wrote: I understand and respect that not everyone shares the same views on hunting, adding that he would resume his dental practice as soon as possible. Zimbabwe Hunters On US Elephant Ivory Ban: As professional hunter Cliff Walker sets out before dawn in Zimbabwe s Zambezi River valley to find a lion for his U.S. client, he has elephants on his mind.Walker, 37, says a U.S. ban on ivory imports from Zimbabwe and Tanzania in February may cost him tens of thousands of dollars. While Gavin Shire, spokesman for the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife Services, said last month that the ban was temporary, Walker thinks it will dissuade clients from coming to the southern African nation. I had six quotas for elephant trophy hunts for American clients, Walker said in an interview last month in the Matetsi Lot 1 in northwestern Zimbabwe near Victoria Falls. I spent a lot of money to get those quotas. Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority Director-General Edison Chidziya traveled to Washington last year to lobby against the ban, which government officials say will cost the southern African nation vital foreign exchange. Before the ban, Zimbabwe was expecting to earn about $60 million from trophy hunting this year, up from $45 million last year. Via: BloombergImages from the luxuryhunts.com websiteZero Hedge Released by Wikileaks: QUIET DIPLOMACY SUSPENDS ELEPHANT HUNTING IN NATIONAL PARKS FOR NOW a Confidential memo sent on October 23, 2008 by the current US ambassador to Zimbabwe, James D. Mcgee, to the CIA.In it we read that, as usual, there is none more culpable of the recent event in Zimbabwe, which incidentally is and has been quite permitted by the local authorities as long as everyone s palms are appropriately greased, than the US government, which years ago was fully aware that Americans were killing lions in Hwange National Park, but that its concern was not with the dead animals no matter how hard the administration tries to feign empathy for the beheaded lion here and now but with Americans getting caught in the act. As has just happened.But first, here is some background on how legal local poaching, whether it is for lions or elephants is. From the formerly classified memo:Meeting with poloff and conoff on October 10, Bown said that it was unclear how legal these hunting operations were, since it appeared the hunters had permits issued by Parks to kill the animals, despite the provision in the National Parks Act that prohibits commercial hunting. The photographic safari operators indicated Parks had given several local and South African hunting companies concessions to kill elephants in Hwange if they met specific criteria: (1) total ivory weight less than 30 pounds, (2) young/adolescent males, (3) isolated areas (i.e. away from watering holes and main roads), and (4) controlled by Parks staff. Parks has never publicly stated these criteria or explained the operation. Frustrated photographic safari operators weighed and photographed many of the tusks at the Park s ivory store in Hwange and found that many were over 30 pounds each. In one case, an operator claimed an American hunter killed an elephant with tusks weighing over 120 pounds. Photos also show some elephants were killed very near main roads and close to watering holes. In at least one reported case, a vehicle drove around the animal before the hunter killed it at close range. In emails to Mtsambiwa and Nhema, safari operators decried the unethical hunting both in terms of the detrimental ecological impact and the negative impact it would have on their own businesses. the safari operators also reported that some of the hunting guides had been issued hundreds of hunting permits for elephants in Hwange and other national parks in mid-to-late August. Normally, hunting permits are offered in an auction to all professional hunting guides. In contrast, Bown said these recent permits were issued through a non-transparent process to professional hunters of ill-repute, including some South African operators.So both the Zimbabwe ambassador and the CIA knew Zimbabwe was permitting and flaunting its own regulations when it comes to poaching if the fee is good enough. And, since American citizens were involved, the fee most certainly was:Despite Mtsambiwa s assurances at our August meeting that Parks was only planning a management/training exercise for Parks staff, in early September poloff received an email from an American citizen in California, asking about an advertisement for an elephant hunt in Zimbabwe to hunt five elephants over ten days for USD 6,000 as part of a culling exercise. The meat from the animals would go to local villagers and hunters were expected to help with on-site butchering of the animals. This price is significantly less than most elephant hunting packages. Normally, elephant hunting excursions in Zimbabwe cost about USD 1,000 per day, plus a fee for each animal killed. The hunting operation was to be led by Zimbabwean Headman Sibanda and was arranged by Thomas Powers Internationale, based in Colorado. Where was the disgust then? Oh yes, elephants are not cute animals about which Broadway musicals are written.However, there is a problem, because reading on we find that not only did the government know about everything that was going on involving US poachers, quite legal and paying very well, involving the hunting of elephants, but also, drumroll, lions.Bown, Save Valley Conservancy Director Clive Stockil and other conservationists opined in conversations with us that hunting permits were issued by Parks under intense pressure from its politicized board and ZANU-PF. Bown believed this frantic last grab at hunting revenue was one more aspect of ZANU-PF insiders efforts to strip assets and fill their pockets before losing power to the MDC. She said that the same small group of hunters involved in this operation had been consistently involved in unethical and marginally legal hunting. Bown had no evidence that they were involved specifically with sanctioned individuals within the Mugabe regime, but believed such connections were likely. According to Bown, the Zimbabwean professional hunters involved include Guy Whitall, Tim Schultz of African Dream Safaris, Headman Sibanda and Wayne Grant of Nyala Safaris, Evans Makanza, Alan Shearing, Buzz Charlton and James Macullam of Charlton Macullum Safaris, A.J. Van Heerden of Shashe Safaris, Barry Van Heerden of Big Game Safaris, and Lawrence Boha. (COMMENT: Numerous conservationists have suggested the Van Heerden brothers are involved in suspicious hunting and land deals with the Director of the Central Intelligence Organization, Happyton Bonyongwe, although none have provided proof of the relationship. END COMMENT.)Additionally, one safari operator accused an American, by name, of killing a lion illegally and then smuggling its hide out through South Africa. Given the rampant smuggling of other animal products across Zimbabwe s southern border (reftel), this is not unlikely. As reported in reftel, American hunting dollars are vital to Zimbabwe s conservation efforts, but there are also serious risks that Americans could be implicated in smuggling and poaching operations.And there you have it: while blaming Walter Palmer is easy, the truth is that at its core, the death of Cecil, as well as countless other lions, elephants, rhinos and other animals, is solely as a result of the Zimbabwe government s corruption. A corruption, which the US government knew all about, and which also knew that US hunters were killing not only elephants but lions.The government s only real concern: the serious risks that Americans could be implicated in smuggling and poaching operations. And now that an American has been implicated in poaching, what does the government do? It generously offers to help the Zimbabwe government investigate the killing of Cecil. Even though both Zimbabwe and the US government have tacitly approval of just this kind of behavior for years.

California Assembly Passes MAJOR Legislation To Keep Trump Off The Ballot In 2020You know how Donald Trump stubbornly refuses to release his tax returns? Well, the California state assembly told him to f*ck off last week when they passed a bill that would require presidential candidates to release their tax returns before they are allowed on the state s ballot.The Presidential Tax Transparency and Accountability Act passed 42-18 in the assembly and now heads to the state Senate. If and when it passes there, it will head to the governor s desk for his signature. President Trump s blatant disregard for the tradition of releasing tax returns is dangerous to our democracy, says state Sen. Mike McGuire, one of the bill s co-authors. For decades, every President has put their personal beliefs aside and put our country first and released their returns.

TEXT: California Assembly Passes MAJOR Legislation To Keep Trump Off The Ballot In 2020You know how Donald Trump stubbornly refuses to release his tax returns? Well, the California state assembly told him to f*ck off last week when they passed a bill that would require presidential candidates to release their tax returns before they are allowed on the state s ballot.The Presidential Tax Transparency and Accountability Act passed 42-18 in the assembly and now heads to the state Senate. If and when it passes there, it will head to the governor s desk for his signature. President Trump s blatant disregard for the tradition of releasing tax returns is dangerous to our democracy, says state Sen. Mike McGuire, one of the bill s co-authors. For decades, every President has put their personal beliefs aside and put our country first and released their returns.

With Zero Liability, A Gun Was Just Made To Look Like This Toy (IMAGES)When you re given a free pass by the government to pretty much make whatever you want with no responsibility if something devastating were to happen because of your product, you d probably make whatever the hell you wanted with no remorse. After all, profit is more important that human life, right? At least, that s what the government is telling gun manufacturers with the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. The law, prohibit(s) civil liability actions from being brought or continued against manufacturers, distributors, dealers, or importers of firearms or ammunition for damages, injunctive or other relief resulting from the misuse of their products by others. With one of the reasons for the law literally being, To prevent the use of such lawsuits to impose unreasonable burdens on interstate and foreign commerce. In other words, they don t want any silly lawsuit to get in the way of profit.On paper, it may look like it makes sense to not hold gun manufacturers liable for how their product is used. After all, it s not their fault if a gun is not handled properly or used to harm someone else. However, what so many fail to see is the fact that with no responsibility it gives gun manufacturers a free pass to basically make whatever they want, regardless of public safety. If they can make it, people will buy it, and after that, well, they re off the hook.So, with all that being said, gun manufacturer Precision Syndicate, LLC made a gun for a client to look like the gun from Nintendo for the game Duck Hunt. Calling it the Nintendo Glock. The gun literally looks like a toy.via Facebook Here s the toy for comparison: It was always fun Duck Hunting and then Switching to Super Mario Bros.

Indian police ask interfaith couples: Is it love or terror?NEW DELHI/KOCHI, India (Reuters) - India s Supreme Court started hearing a case on Monday that prosecutors say shows how Islamic State sympathizers are using Love Jihad marrying Hindu women and converting them to Islam to win recruits and spread their message. Over the past 28 months, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has picked up dozens of interfaith couples in the southern state of Kerala to question them about their marriages. The women - all Hindus who married Muslims were asked extremely personal questions during the interrogations, two police officers from the agency said: Did you sleep with your husband before getting married? Did he suggest you visit Islamic shrines before marriage? Did he blackmail you before you converted to Islam? They were looking for cases of Love Jihad , a term publicized by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and other hardline Hindu groups soon after they helped propel Prime Minister Narendra Modi to power in 2014. It refers to what these groups say is an Islamist campaign to convert Hindu women through seduction and marriage. Police investigations at the time found no evidence of any organised strategy, and the claim was widely ridiculed. But since then, the NIA began focusing on Kerala - a state along the Arabian Sea with strong economic links to the Middle East. It investigated 89 cases of Love Jihad and found nine to be alliances planned by people linked to the Islamic State, two NIA sources said, requesting anonymity because the investigation is going on. The NIA will present evidence in the nine cases to the Supreme Court. The agency declined to disclose its evidence. But in two of the cases it was examining money sent from an Islamic school in Iraq to the women s bank accounts, and in another case a woman and her husband had shared IS videos among people in their Kerala village, the sources said. Opposition parties say the investigation shows the government is allowing the RSS and others to use the state apparatus to further an agenda of establishing Hindu dominance in India, where 13 percent of the population is Muslim. M.B Rajesh, a federal lawmaker and member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), which rules Kerala, said the NIA and the RSS were trying to prove that marriages between Hindus and Muslims are forced unions . The NIA s probe is creating religious fault lines to help Modi s party win (Kerala s) state elections, but we will defeat them. J. Nandakumar, an RSS leader who oversees the group s activities in the state, said the NIA investigation vindicated the Hindu right s campaign against religious conversions. Their first step is to convert Hindu boys and girls, hypnotise them and prepare them for jihad, he said. The RSS, which founded the first iteration of Modi s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party six decades ago, believes India is fundamentally a Hindu nation. Since Modi s election in May 2014, the RSS has expanded its membership and influence across India and either it or its affiliates now run key ministries, such as the home ministry, which supervises the NIA, and the finance ministry. Muslims who account for 172 million of India s 1.32 billion citizens - have been under increasing pressure from the Hindu right. Muslims have been lynched for killing cows - considered sacred in Hinduism - and some of their slaughter houses forced to shut down. Neither Modi s office nor the NIA would comment because the issue is before the Supreme Court. One of the Muslim men, whose marriage to a Hindu woman was annulled by Kerala s High Court, has appealed the case to the Supreme Court. The NIA has accused the man, Shefin Jahan, in court of trying to recruit people for the Islamic State, a charge he denies. The 24-year-old woman, who converted to Islam before marrying him and changed her name from Akhila to Hadiya, was placed in her father s custody by the high court after he said he feared for her well-being. There is no criminal case against her. India s chief justice summoned Hadiya to New Delhi to testify on Monday on whether she had been forced to convert. In an interim order the Supreme Court removed Hadiya from her father s custody and said she could live in a hostel to complete her college education. The trial will begin in January. This is for the first time in the history of India the top court will be asking a woman the validity of her marriage and her religious conversion, said Kapil Sibal, a lawyer and a leader of the opposition Congress party. Sibal is representing Jahan. Jahan, 26, told Reuters he met Hadiya through a matrimonial website for Muslims while he was working in a pharmaceutical factory in Oman. He said he wanted to live with his wife, with whom he stayed for only 48 hours before her father complained to the police. Our simple love story has turned into an ugly religious and legal battle, Jahan said. The NIA investigation started in 2015 after the government identified Kerala, which sends tens of thousands of workers to the Middle East, as a potential hotbed of Islamic State recruitment. Nearly half of Kerala s 33 million people practice Islam and Christianity. Police and the NIA said at least 100 people from Kerala have joined the IS in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. The NIA s nine Love Jihad cases were based on complaints lodged by the parents of the Hindu girls and all were found to have links with IS, the NIA police sources said. The agency dropped the investigations into the other 80 cases because no links to militants were found, the sources said. Across India, more than 270 men and 20 women have been arrested for working directly or indirectly with the IS, according to data at the federal Home Ministry. But Kerala was the only state where the NIA found a direct link between cases of Love Jihad and the IS, the NIA sources said. The agency says it has uncovered attempts by IS sympathizers to possibly send the women in Love Jihad marriages off to marry or stay with fighters from the militant group, the NIA sources said. Two couples, who were questioned by the NIA last year, told Reuters police searched their homes. I was shocked when they said maybe my husband was a jihadi, and he could be planning to send me to Syria, said one woman who married a Muslim information technology professional in 2015. Police questioned her for six hours, she said, and before leaving, took pictures of her wedding album. worldnews | 1 | indian police ask interfaith couples is love terror new india reuters india supreme court started hearing case monday prosecutors say shows islamic state sympathizers using love jihad marrying hindu women converting islam win recruits spread message over past months national investigation agency nia picked dozens interfaith couples southern state kerala question marriages the women hindu married muslims asked extremely personal questions interrogations two police officers agency said did sleep husband getting married did suggest visit islamic shrines marriage did blackmail converted islam they looking cases love jihad term publicized rashtriya swayamsevak sang rss hardline hindu groups soon helped propel prime minister narendra modi power it refers groups say islamic campaign convert hindu women seduction marriage police investigations time found evidence organised strategy claim widely ridiculed but since nia began focusing kerala state along arabia sea strong economic links middle east it investigated cases love jihad found nine alliances planned people linked islamic state two nia sources said requesting anonymity investigation going the nia present evidence nine cases supreme court the agency declined disclose evidence but two cases examining money sent islamic school iraq women bank accounts another case woman husband shared is videos among people kerala village sources said opposition parties say investigation shows government allowing rss others use state apparatus agenda establishing hindu dominance india percent population muslim races federal lawmaker member communist party india marxists rules kerala said nia rss trying prove marriages hindu muslims forced unions the nia probe creating religious fault lines help modi party win kerala state elections defeat nandakumar rss leader oversees group activities state said nia investigation vindicated hindu right campaign religious conversions their first step convert hindu boys girls hypnotic prepare jihad said the rss founded first iteration modi ruling bharatiya canada party six decades ago believes india fundamentally hindu nation since modi election may rss expanded membership influence across india either affiliates run key ministries home ministry supervises nia finance ministry muslims account million india billion citizens increasing pressure hindu right muslims lynched killing cows considered sacred hinduism slaughter houses forced shut neither modi office nia would comment issue supreme court one muslim men whose marriage hindu woman annulled kerala high court appealed case supreme court the nia accused man shin japan court trying recruit people islamic state charge denies the woman converted islam marrying changed name aphia hadith placed father custody high court said feared there criminal case india chief justice summoned hadith new delhi testify monday whether forced convert in interim order supreme court removed hadith father custody said could live hostel complete college education the trial begin january this first time history india top court asking woman validity marriage religious conversion said kapil final lawyer leader opposition congress party final representing japan japan told reuters met hadith matrimonio website muslims working pharmaceutical factory oman he said wanted live wife stayed hours father complained police our simple love story turned ugly religious legal battle japan said the nia investigation started government identified kerala sends tens thousands workers middle east potential noted islamic state recruitment nearly half kerala million people practice islam christianity police nia said least people kerala joined is syria iraq afghanistan the nia nine love jihad cases based complaints lodged parents hindu girls found links is nia police sources said the agency dropped investigations cases links militants found sources said across india men women arrested working directly indirectly is according data federal home ministry but kerala state nia found direct link cases love jihad is nia sources said the agency says uncovered attempts is sympathizers possibly send women love jihad marriages marry stay fighters militant group nia sources said two couples questioned nia last year told reuters police searched homes i shocked said maybe husband jihad could planning send syria said one woman married muslim information technology professional police questioned six hours said leaving took pictures wedding album worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

John Cleese SLAMS Trump: It’s Like He’s ‘Assembling The Crew For A Pirate Ship’ – NOT A Presidency (TWEETS)If there s one thing about Donald Trump that isn t presidential (aside from literally everything) it s the people he has selected for top-level positions a raging anti-Semite and racist as White house chief strategist, a man who was too racist to be a judge for US attorney, and a guy who actually got caught holding plans for a national registry of Muslim immigrants in his hands during a photo-op with The Donald for Homeland Security secretary, for example.That a minority of Americans was able to elect someone like Trump is embarrassing enough but the people he is appointing to high-level roles makes us a laughingstock. Recently, legendary actor John Cleese was watching it all unfold on American television and noticed that It looks as though Trump is assembling the crew for a pirate ship rather than people who will lead the United States.Watching US TV today reminded me of my remark on Conan O'Brien.

New Zealand goes to polls on Saturday, ending tight, volatile raceWELLINGTON (Reuters) - New Zealanders go to the polls on Saturday in the most volatile and hard-fought race in recent history, which could usher in a change in openness to migration and trade and the central bank s approach to monetary policy. Volatile opinion polls have shown a neck-and-neck race, although the ruling National Party of Prime Minister Bill English has led in recent polls, with two giving it a lead of nearly 10 points. A change in the Labour Party leadership last month turned what had been expected to be a dull campaign into a nail-biting event, with 37-year old Jacinda Ardern vying to become the third woman prime minister and the youngest of recent times. It s tight, Ardern, whose popularity prompted media to coin the term Jacindamania , said on Friday. It shows that every single vote will count and that turnout will determine this election. Labour hopes to ride a worldwide wave of change that most recently propelled France s Emmanuel Macron to become its youngest head of state since Napoleon. English, a 55-year-old former finance minister who took over after John Key s shock resignation last year, is making his second bid to be elected leader after a failed attempt in 2002. Both leaders are expected to stay the course in terms of fiscal prudence, but will probably differ on monetary policy, trade and immigration, spelling ramifications for the New Zealand dollar, the world s 11th most traded currency in 2016. Ardern wants to add employment to the central bank s inflation-targeting mandate, which could mean more stimulatory monetary policy. She also wants to cut migration and renegotiate certain trade deals, which some worry could hurt two key sources of growth for New Zealand s small, outward-looking economy. Election uncertainty could have temporarily weighed on the economy, by making firms more cautious over investments and hiring, said Philip Borkin, a senior economist at ANZ. A tight outcome could weigh on the currency as could one foreshadowing a change in government, he added. If it comes in and shows there is a decent chance of a change in government, I think that could be a factor weighing on the currency, just from an unknown point of view. Given New Zealand s German-style proportional representation system, it could take weeks to determine the composition of the new government, with minority parties expected to have an outsize impact. About 986,000 ballots have already been cast, says the Electoral Commission, accounting for almost a third of the 3.2 million voters enrolled. In past elections, advanced votes pointed to the final results. But special votes , from voters overseas and outside their home constituencies, could sway the outcome. This category, which made up 12 percent of votes in 2014, will only be announced on Oct. 7. The new government s make-up will also depend on negotiations between parties that could last weeks, particularly if the results are close. Winston Peters, leader of the nationalist New Zealand First Party, which is likely to become the kingmaker, has declined to say which bloc of parties will get his support until the results become official on Oct. 12. With a loss in momentum in the Labour campaign, the latest polls suggest it is more likely that Peters will join forces with National, said Oliver Hartwich, executive director at the New Zealand Initiative think tank. It would be hard for him to argue why he would give it to Labour if they are really 8 to 9 percentage points behind, he added.

Volatile opinion polls have shown a neck-and-neck race, although the ruling National Party of Prime Minister Bill English has led in recent polls, with two giving it a lead of nearly 10 points. A change in the Labour Party leadership last month turned what had been expected to be a dull campaign into a nail-biting event, with 37-year old Jacinda Ardern vying to become the third woman prime minister and the youngest of recent times. It s tight, Ardern, whose popularity prompted media to coin the term Jacindamania , said on Friday. It shows that every single vote will count and that turnout will determine this election. Labour hopes to ride a worldwide wave of change that most recently propelled France s Emmanuel Macron to become its youngest head of state since Napoleon. English, a 55-year-old former finance minister who took over after John Key s shock resignation last year, is making his second bid to be elected leader after a failed attempt in 2002. Both leaders are expected to stay the course in terms of fiscal prudence, but will probably differ on monetary policy, trade and immigration, spelling ramifications for the New Zealand dollar, the world s 11th most traded currency in 2016. Ardern wants to add employment to the central bank s inflation-targeting mandate, which could mean more stimulatory monetary policy. She also wants to cut migration and renegotiate certain trade deals, which some worry could hurt two key sources of growth for New Zealand s small, outward-looking economy. Election uncertainty could have temporarily weighed on the economy, by making firms more cautious over investments and hiring, said Philip Borkin, a senior economist at ANZ. A tight outcome could weigh on the currency as could one foreshadowing a change in government, he added. If it comes in and shows there is a decent chance of a change in government, I think that could be a factor weighing on the currency, just from an unknown point of view. Given New Zealand s German-style proportional representation system, it could take weeks to determine the composition of the new government, with minority parties expected to have an outsize impact. About 986,000 ballots have already been cast, says the Electoral Commission, accounting for almost a third of the 3.2 million voters enrolled. In past elections, advanced votes pointed to the final results. But special votes , from voters overseas and outside their home constituencies, could sway the outcome. This category, which made up 12 percent of votes in 2014, will only be announced on Oct. 7. The new government s make-up will also depend on negotiations between parties that could last weeks, particularly if the results are close. Winston Peters, leader of the nationalist New Zealand First Party, which is likely to become the kingmaker, has declined to say which bloc of parties will get his support until the results become official on Oct. 12. With a loss in momentum in the Labour campaign, the latest polls suggest it is more likely that Peters will join forces with National, said Oliver Hartwich, executive director at the New Zealand Initiative think tank. It would be hard for him to argue why he would give it to Labour if they are really 8 to 9 percentage points behind, he added.

Senate panel snubs Trump's pick to run EXIM, OKs other nomineesWASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate Banking Committee rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the U.S. Export-Import Bank on Tuesday but approved four other board nominees, enough to restore the trade bank’s full lending powers upon their confirmation by the full Senate. The committee voted 13-10 against Scott Garrett as EXIM president in a rebuke to conservatives who saw the former New Jersey Republican congressman as an ally who would keep tight controls on the government export lender. Garrett helped lead a 2015 effort to shut down EXIM to end a source of “corporate welfare” for giant manufacturers such as Boeing Co and General Electric. After his nomination he pledged to keep the bank “fully open” but struggled to persuade senators that he now believed in the bank’s core mission of providing taxpayer-backed loans and guarantees for U.S. export transactions. “I believe he’s a principled man who simply believes in the abolishment of the bank,” said Senator Mike Rounds of South Dakota, who voted against Garrett along with South Carolina Republican Tim Scott and all Democrats on the panel. The White House’s director of legislative affairs, Marc Short, commented, “We are disappointed that the Senate Banking Committee missed this opportunity to get the Export Import Bank fully functioning again. We will continue to work with the committee on a path forward.” The committee, however, approved Trump’s nominations for EXIM’s first vice president, Kimberly Reed, and three other board members: former Louisiana congressman Spencer Bachus, Claudia Slacik and Judith DelZoppo Pryor. It also approved Mark Greenblatt as the agency’s inspector general. Confirmation of at least three board members will allow EXIM to resume approval of loans and guarantees above $10 million, returning the United States to export financing for major projects such as commercial aircraft, power turbines and petrochemical plants for the first time since June 2015. GE in a statement urged quick confirmation of the remaining EXIM nominees and hailed the committee vote as “a milestone for manufacturers across the U.S. whose customers require a fully-functioning EXIM Bank.” EXIM has a $42 billion backlog of deals in its pipeline awaiting approval, representing about 250,000 U.S. jobs based on Bureau of Labor Statistics multiplier data, said Scott Schloegel, an Obama administration appointee who still serves as the bank’s top officer. Schloegel said with EXIM’s extended absence from large-scale export finance, many U.S. exporters have been unable to compete with China for some major projects in the power and technology sectors. politicsNews | 1 | senate panel stubs trump pick run exit oks nomineeswashington reuters the senate banking committee rejected president donald trump nominee head bank tuesday approved four board nominees enough restore trade bank full lending powers upon confirmation full senate the committee voted scott garrett exit president rebuke conservatives saw former new jersey republican congressman ally would keep tight controls government export lender garrett helped lead effort shut exit end source corporate welfare giant manufacturers boeing co general electric after nomination pledged keep bank fully open struggled persuade senators believed bank core mission providing loans guarantees export transactions i believe principle man simply believes abolishment bank said senator mike rounds south dakota voted garrett along south carolina republican tim scott democrats panel the white house director legislative affairs marc short commented we disappointed senate banking committee missed opportunity get export import bank fully functioning we continue work committee path the committee however approved trump nominations exit first vice president kimberly reed three board members former louisiana congressman spencer backs claudia slack judith delzoppo prior it also approved mark greenblatt agency inspector general confirmation least three board members allow exit resume approval loans guarantees million returning united states export financing major projects commercial aircraft power turbines petrochemical plants first time since june ge statement urged quick confirmation remaining exit nominees hailed committee vote milestone manufacturers across whose customers require exit exit billion backlog deals pipeline awaiting approval representing jobs based bureau labor statistics multiplier data said scott schloegel obama administration appointee still serves bank top officer schloegel said exit extended absence export finance many exporters unable compete china major projects power technology sectors politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Children’s Home Rejects Atheist’s Cash Donation Because He’s Not A ChristianA children s home in Oklahoma literally refused to take a donation from a man because he isn t a Christian.The Murrow Indian Children s Home claims to care about helping orphaned children but when Matt Wilbourn tried to make a $100 donation on behalf of the Muskogee Atheist Community an employee called him and rejected his donation. I filed out the paperwork and I put my wife and I s name on the paperwork, Wilbourn recounted. At the bottom, it asks if there is any person or organization you want to put it in memory of and I put the Muskogee Atheist Community. She called my desk phone at work and told me that they would not be accepting our donation because it would go against everything they believe in, he continued.Founded in 1865 by Reverend J.S. Murrow to take in and care for orphaned Native American children, the home was taken over by the American Baptist Mission Home Societies and moved to Bacone College in Muskogee, where it houses dozens of children in need of a home.In 2014, it was reported that the Murrow Children s Home was in desperate need of supplies including laundry detergent, 13-gallon garbage bags, sandwich bags, one-gallon and quart freezer bags, serving tongs, snacks, toothpaste, band aides, dishwashing soap, napkins, Comet cleaner, Pine Sol, Lysol, bleach, furniture polish and storage bags. So if any organization needs donations, it s the Murrow Children s Home. And that s what makes their rejection of Wilbourn s donation so outrageous.He donated $100, which would go a long way toward purchasing many of the items on that list.But his donation was rejected simply because he isn t a Christian, which makes one wonder just exactly what the Murrow Children s Home employees are teaching the kids in their care.Undeterred, Wilbourn came up with an idea. In fact, it s a fantastic idea.He decided to start a GoFundMe with the support of the Muskogee Atheist Community to raise more money for the Children s Home to see exactly how much money it will take for them to ignore his non-belief and accept the donation.But it appears the Murrow Home cares more about religion than they do about making sure the children have everything they need. I emailed the director of the Murrow Home and told her that I m raising the amount to $250, Wilbourn said. No reply from her. So far, the GoFundMe has raised a whopping $5,612 and the Murrow Home still won t accept because Wilbourn and his group are atheists. It s taken food off their plate, clothes off their back and shelter over their heads, Wilbourn said.It s truly sad that an organization would reject perfectly good donations just because the person doing the giving is not a Christian. That amounts to stealing from children. The Murrow Home is a non-profit so clearly they are only able to care for children solely out of the kindness of people who open their wallets and donate money. The Bible says judge not lest ye be judged and there s this part called the Golden Rule that commands us to treat people the way we want to be treated. Thus far, the Christians at the Murrow Home have failed to adhere to both. They judged Wilbourn to be a bad person because he s an atheist and even when he treated them with kindness and generosity the Murrow Home continued to do the opposite to him.Frankly, it sounds like these kids need new caretakers because the Murrow Home is clearly failing them and their best interests.To contact the Murrow Home, visit their Facebook page.To contribute to the GoFundMe, click here. Because even if the Murrow Home rejects the amount raised, it will still go toward a great cause called Camp Quest, which is a non-religious summer camp for kids.Murrow Home ought to be ashamed of themselves for choosing bigotry and hate over the well-being of the kids they claim to care about.Featured Image: FacebookNews | 0 | children home rejects atheist cash donation because he not a christian children home oklahoma literally refused take donation man marrow indian children home claims care helping orphaned children matt wilbourn tried make donation behalf muskogee atheist community employee called rejected donation i filed paperwork i put wife i name paperwork wilbourn recounted at bottom asks person organization want put memory i put muskogee atheist community she called desk phone work told would accepting donation would go everything believe reverend marrow take care orphaned native american children home taken american baptist mission home societies moved bacon college muskogee houses dozens children need reported marrow children home desperate need supplies including laundry detergent garbage bags sandwich bags quartz freezer bags serving songs snacks toothpaste band aides dishwashing soap hopkins comet cleaner pine sol sysop bleach furniture polish storage bags so organization needs donations marrow children home and makes rejection wilbourn donation donated would go long way toward purchasing many items donation rejected simply christian makes one wonder exactly marrow children home employees teaching kids wilbourn came idea in fact fantastic decided start gofundme support muskogee atheist community raise money children home see exactly much money take ignore accept appears marrow home cares religion making sure children everything need i emailed director marrow home told i raising amount wilbourn said no reply so far gofundme raised shopping marrow home still accept wilbourn group atheists it taken food plate clothes back shelter heads wilbourn truly sad organization would reject perfectly good donations person giving christian that amounts stealing children the marrow home clearly able care children solely kindness people open wallets donate money the bible says judge lest ye judged part called golden rule commands us treat people way want treated thus far christians marrow home failed adhere they judged wilbourn bad person atheist even treated kindness generosity marrow home continued opposite sounds like kids need new caretaker marrow home clearly failing best contact marrow home visit facebook contribute gofundme click because even marrow home rejects amount raised still go toward great cause called camp quest summer camp home ought ashamed choosing bigotry hate kids claim care image facebooknews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

RADICAL LEFTIST WHO DISMISSED CHARGES AGAINST MUSLIM TERRORIST SHOOTER IS POTENTIAL SUPREME COURT NOMINEEWe re not sure which of Judge Mary Murguia s qualifications for becoming a U.S. Supreme Court Justice would be more attractive to Obama. Could it be the fact that she, like Barack Obama can claim she is responsible for dismissing charges against a terrorist? Perhaps her it s her sister s connection as a leader of La Raza, a government funded, radical activist group fighting to defend amnesty in America. Knowing Barry, it s likely both.The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals judge who previously dismissed terror charges against one of the Garland, Texas shooters has a connection to the controversial activist group, National Council of La Raza.Judge Mary Murguia, appointed by President Clinton and considered a potential nominee to the Supreme Court by President Obama, was the judge who dismissed government charges against Elton Simpson for suspected terrorism in 2011. On Sunday, Simpson attacked a free speech event in Garland, Texas depicting the Prophet Muhammad in cartoons.Daniel Greenfield cites evidence from the 2011 case:The FBI knew that Elton Simpson, one of the Garland Jihadists, was a threat and had attempted to lock him up after amassing evidence that he intended to go to Somalia as a terrorist. They had him on tape stating that Allah loves an individual who is out there fighting [non-Muslims] and If you get shot, or you get killed, it s [heaven] straight away. Mr. Simpson then said [Heaven] that s what we here for so why not take that route? Judge Murguia held then that the government was unable to prove Simpson mentioned violent jihad in his reasoning for traveling to Somalia. That phrase is one made up by the Government, likely because it is aware that jihad in the Muslim religion does not necessarily imply violence, she said, noted Greenfield.However, the LA Times previously noted that Judge Murguria s twin sister Janet Murguia leads a controversial group known as National Council of La Raza, which has been criticized as a racist hate group. It is the nation s largest Latino civil rights activist organization. La Raza is closely linked to the Obama Administration s amnesty efforts.Human Events, a conservative blog, previously reported that the mainstream media views La Raza no more than a Hispanic Rotary Club. But La Raza collected roughly $15.2 million in federal grants in 2005. Human Events also reported that undisclosed amounts of that money were used in get-out-the-vote efforts supporting La Raza political positions. La Raza has been added to congressional hearings and an anonymous senator even gave the Council of La Raza an extra $4 million in earmarked taxpayer money, supposedly for housing reform, according to Human Events.

Trump Goes FULL Propaganda Declaring He Knows Better Than ANY Expert (VIDEO)Who needs experts, really, when one can rely on his or her own intuition? I mean, Donald Trump clearly knows better than any expert in regards to foreign policy. Or maybe, he s full of absolute horseshit.While campaigning in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Trump told a crowd of supporters that he s probably not going to rely on any experts. Sure, he has advisers, but according to Trump, the experts are terrible. He said: You look at what China s doing in the South China Sea, and they say, Oh, Trump doesn t have experts.

I mean, Donald Trump clearly knows better than any expert in regards to foreign policy. Or maybe, he s full of absolute horseshit.While campaigning in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Trump told a crowd of supporters that he s probably not going to rely on any experts. Sure, he has advisers, but according to Trump, the experts are terrible. He said: You look at what China s doing in the South China Sea, and they say, Oh, Trump doesn t have experts. Let me tell you, I do have experts but I know what s happening. And look at the experts we ve had, OK? Look at the experts. All of these people have had experts.

Dying for a paycheck: the Russian civilians fighting in SyriaORENBURG, Russia (Reuters) - When Vladimir Kabunin signed up as a private military contractor, he saw a chance to make a wage much higher than any he could earn in his provincial Russian hometown. Happy to be able to support his wife and son, the ex-police officer left Orenburg, nearly 1,500 km (940 miles) southeast of Moscow, and joined pro-Russian rebels fighting government forces in east Ukraine, a family friend and a relative told Reuters. When fighting subsided there, he went to Syria to serve as a field medic with troops under Russian command, they said. Kabunin was killed in Syria this year and his body was sent home, they said. But the government does not recognize he was in Syria, so he was buried without military honors and nothing on his grave shows he was killed in action. Kabunin, who was 38, was one of hundreds of military contractors secretly recruited by Moscow for combat operations in Syria since Russia s military operation began there in 2015, according to people familiar with the deployment. According to a Reuters tally based on accounts from people who knew the deceased and local officials, at least 28 private contractors have been killed in Syria this year, and Russian consular documents seen by Reuters suggest the figure may be much higher. The government denies recruiting and sending private military contractors to fight abroad. The defense ministry did not respond when asked about Kabunin s case and the role of contractors in Syria, and has said previous Reuters reports on the contractors are an attempt to discredit Russia s mission to restore peace to Syria. But over two years, Reuters has spoken to dozens of family members, colleagues and friends of military contractors who have been killed in Syria. Those familiar with the deployment say the contractors are under government command and have helped turn the tide of war in favor of Russia s ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, while hiding the scale of its military involvement and losses. The fact that Kabunin and others like him are willing to sign up for such missions shows the Kremlin can draw on a large reserve of fighters who, as long as they are well remunerated, are willing to risk dying in the shadows. WELL-TRODDEN PATH Kabunin followed a path taken by many contractors: service in the military or security forces, a return to civilian life, a struggle to make a living, then a chance to make decent money fighting secretly for Russia, in Ukraine and then Syria. Family members of Russian contractors say that in Syria they were paid up to $6,500 per month, which exceeds Russia s average monthly wage more than 12 times. If you quit law enforcement bodies, you have only one way (choice) - to become a mercenary, Vasily Karkan, a classmate of Kabunin at school, told Reuters. Kabunin was shy as a child until he started kickboxing classes, Karkan recalled. The sport became a life-long hobby. Kabunin obtained a degree in medicine and also studied law, but followed in the family footsteps by joining the police. In 2010, he found a new job in a prison, where his wife also worked in a tuberculosis hospital. Kabunin s role was to work with prisoners to obtain information and gather intelligence on planned escape attempts or potential unrest, but he left that job in 2012. A spokesman for Orenburg prisons service said he had left of his own volition. A family friend spoke of job cuts and said he looked for a new job for about two years. There is no place to work, the family friend said. You can t earn more than 10,000 rubles ($170)(a month) here. When fighting broke out in eastern Ukraine in 2014, Kabunin saw a job opportunity. Moscow denies deploying active service troops in Ukraine or providing direct military help to the separatists. But Kabunin signed up with Dmitry Utkin, the leader of a group of Russian ex-servicemen fighting there who uses the nom de guerre Vagner , and, drawing on his medical degree, served as a military medic, his relative said. When Utkin and his comrades deployed to Syria in support of Russia s regular forces, Kabunin went with them, people familiar with the deployment said. As of April 2016, he was a field medic in a medical evacuation unit under Utkin s command in Syria, according to an official in a Ukrainian law enforcement agency. The agency says it has obtained the personnel records of 1,700 Russian contractors deployed in Syria, most of whom were earlier in Ukraine. Kabunin left home for his last trip to Syria on Jan. 4 and was put in command of a medical company, but was wounded on Jan. 31 and died on Feb. 7 in Homs province, a relative said. The relative knew this from former police colleagues of Kabunin, some of whom also served in Syria, and from his death certificate, which was handed to his wife Natalya. It was not clear how she was informed and who gave her the death certificate. She declined to speak to Reuters. Relatives of other killed contractors say the news has come via friends or acquaintances, or by phone from people who say they represent a private company. Kabunin was buried next to other family members graves in Orenburg, his portrait displayed on a cross showing a man with a shaved head in civilian clothes. His wife received a compensation payment, according to the relative, who gave no further details. According to accounts from relatives of other contractors killed in Syria, the employer typically pays out 3 million rubles ($51,227) in compensation to the next of kin when a contractor is killed. Relatives of another dead contractor told Reuters that, in his case, the money was handed over to his widow in cash in a hotel in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don. On a visit to Syria on Dec. 11, President Vladimir Putin declared mission accomplished for the Syrian operation and paid tribute to Russian servicemen who have been killed there. There was no mention of the contractors losses. The government is under no obligation to disclose the deaths of non-regular forces fighting under its command and Russian military losses in Syria are a state secret. Kabunin s death did not dissuade his friend Valery Dzyuba, also a former police officer and kickboxer from Orenburg, from heading to Syria to fight as a military contractor. Dzyuba s family received a phone call from an unidentified man saying he had died on Aug. 20 but not specifying the circumstances. Dzyuba was killed in Syria, according to one of his classmates, Kabunin s relative and an official in the village where Dzyuba was buried. worldnews | 1 | dying paycheck russian civilians fighting syriaorenburg russia reuters when vladimir kabunin signed private military contractor saw chance make wage much higher could earn provincial russian hometown happy able support wife son officer left freiburg nearly km miles southeast moscow joined rebels fighting government forces east ukraine family friend relative told reuters when fighting subsided went syria serve field medic troops russian command said kabunin killed syria year body sent home said but government recognize syria buried without military honors nothing grave shows killed action kabunin one hundreds military contractors secretly recruited moscow combat operations syria since russia military operation began according people familiar deployment according reuters tally based accounts people knew deceased local officials least private contractors killed syria year russian consular documents seen reuters suggest figure may much higher the government denies recruiting sending private military contractors fight abroad the defense ministry respond asked kabunin case role contractors syria said previous reuters reports contractors attempt discredit russia mission restore peace syria but two years reuters spoken dozens family members colleagues friends military contractors killed syria those familiar deployment say contractors government command helped turn tide war favor russia ally syrian president basal hiding scale military involvement losses the fact kabunin others like willing sign missions shows kremlin draw large reserve fighters long well regenerated willing risk dying shadows path kabunin followed path taken many contractors service military security forces return civilian life struggle make living chance make decent money fighting secretly russia ukraine syria family members russian contractors say syria paid per month exceeds russia average monthly wage times if quit law enforcement bodies one way choice become mercenary easily karan classmate kabunin school told reuters kabunin shy child started kickboxing classes karan recalled the sport became hobby kabunin obtained degree medicine also studied law followed family footsteps joining police in found new job prison wife also worked tuberculosis hospital kabunin role work prisoners obtain information gather intelligence planned escape attempts potential unrest left job a spokesman freiburg prisons service said left volution a family friend spoke job cuts said looked new job two years there place work family friend said you earn rubles month when fighting broke eastern ukraine kabunin saw job opportunity moscow denies deploying active service troops ukraine providing direct military help separatists but kabunin signed diary ftin leader group russian fighting uses nom de guerre wagner drawing medical degree served military medic relative said when ftin comrades deployed syria support russia regular forces kabunin went people familiar deployment said as april field medic medical evacuation unit ftin command syria according official ukrainian law enforcement agency the agency says obtained personnel records russian contractors deployed syria earlier ukraine kabunin left home last trip syria put command medical company wounded died home province relative said the relative knew former police colleagues kabunin also served syria death certificate handed wife natalie it clear informed gave death certificate she declined speak reuters relatives killed contractors say news come via friends acquaintances phone people say represent private company kabunin buried next family members graves freiburg portrait displayed cross showing man shaved head civilian clothes his wife received compensation payment according relative gave details according accounts relatives contractors killed syria employer typically pays million rubles compensation next kin contractor killed relatives another dead contractor told reuters case money handed widow cash hotel southern russian city on visit syria president vladimir putin declared mission accomplished syrian operation paid tribute russian servicemen killed there mention contractors losses the government obligation disclose deaths forces fighting command russian military losses syria state secret kabunin death dissuade friend very dzyuba also former police officer kickboxer freiburg heading syria fight military contractor dzyuba family received phone call unidentified man saying died specifying circumstances dzyuba killed syria according one classmates kabunin relative official village dzyuba buried worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

George Takei Just Shook Washington To Its Core; The Reason Will Make Team Trump FURIOUS (DETAILS)By now, we all know that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes has turned tail and gone off on what his fellow GOPer in the Senate, Lindsey Graham (R-SC) calls an Inspector Clouseau investigation. In other words, Nunes is a bumbling idiot and a stooge for the Trump White House when it comes to investigating ties between officials from Donald Trump s presidential campaign and Russia during the 2016 presidential election.Well, it now seems that Nunes (R-CA) might have a bit of a problem come 2018. Star Trek star and wildly popular LGBTQ rights activist George Takei is running for Congress against Nunes. The endeavor was largely secret, until Takei and his husband were found out as they started scoping out property to buy in Nunes s red district. Takei says of the move: Well, I guess the jig is up. With what is going on now in the country, I couldn t stand by any longer merely as a citizen. I knew I had to take a bigger stand. So that s why I m running for Congress. My hope is to challenge Davin Nunes for his seat in 2018. I think Nunes is vulnerable. And I plan to prove that. People are tired of his ass-kissing of Trump. Can I say that? I think I can. These days you can say pretty much anything and not get in trouble. I want to be a champion for all people, but especially those whose voices are not heard often in the halls of Congress. We need to build a majority again in Congress, too, to be a check against the Trump Administration s excesses, assuming he s even around by then to keep making horrific mistakes.

HOW MEXICO COULD ACTUALLY Benefit From A Trump PresidencyIt s easier to hate Trump and spew venom at him and his supporters than to use logic and reason Donald Trump has already forced Mexico to clean up its national image, underscoring how the country suffering from NAFTA could actually benefit from a Trump presidency.Mexico is launching a massive PR campaign to improve perceptions of the country after Trump exposed many of its problems, but this is a good thing: sometimes it takes your worst critic to enforce needed change.In fact, Trump s proposed border wall, hatred of the North American Free Trade Agreement and nationalistic views could help America s southern neighbor.For one thing, a lot of people don t realize NAFTA has fueled mass unemployment in Mexico, which has caused thousands of illegal immigrants to flood into the U.S. looking for jobs. There are no jobs [in Mexico] and NAFTA forced the price of corn so low that it s not economically possible to plant a crop anymore, Rufino Dom nguez, the former coordinator of the Binational Front of Indigenous Organizations, revealed. We come to the U.S. to work because we can t get a price for our product at home. There s no alternative. NAFTA disrupted Mexico s corn production so badly that 75,000 Iowa farmers were able to grow twice as much corn as 3,000,000 Mexican producers and at half the cost because the U.S. maintained its corn subsidies under NAFTA.That resulted in the mass migration of Mexican farm workers flowing into America. The big wave in illegal immigration from Mexico began in the 1980s, but it picked up strongly after NAFTA that wasn t unexpected, NPR s Tim Robbins reported.And which presidential candidate has spoke out against NAFTA and other destructive trade agreements? Donald Trump. It s a disaster, he said in Sept. We will either renegotiate it, or we will break it.

TEXT: HOW MEXICO COULD ACTUALLY Benefit From A Trump PresidencyIt s easier to hate Trump and spew venom at him and his supporters than to use logic and reason Donald Trump has already forced Mexico to clean up its national image, underscoring how the country suffering from NAFTA could actually benefit from a Trump presidency.Mexico is launching a massive PR campaign to improve perceptions of the country after Trump exposed many of its problems, but this is a good thing: sometimes it takes your worst critic to enforce needed change.In fact, Trump s proposed border wall, hatred of the North American Free Trade Agreement and nationalistic views could help America s southern neighbor.For one thing, a lot of people don t realize NAFTA has fueled mass unemployment in Mexico, which has caused thousands of illegal immigrants to flood into the U.S. looking for jobs. There are no jobs [in Mexico] and NAFTA forced the price of corn so low that it s not economically possible to plant a crop anymore, Rufino Dom nguez, the former coordinator of the Binational Front of Indigenous Organizations, revealed. We come to the U.S. to work because we can t get a price for our product at home. There s no alternative. NAFTA disrupted Mexico s corn production so badly that 75,000 Iowa farmers were able to grow twice as much corn as 3,000,000 Mexican producers and at half the cost because the U.S. maintained its corn subsidies under NAFTA.That resulted in the mass migration of Mexican farm workers flowing into America. The big wave in illegal immigration from Mexico began in the 1980s, but it picked up strongly after NAFTA that wasn t unexpected, NPR s Tim Robbins reported.And which presidential candidate has spoke out against NAFTA and other destructive trade agreements? Donald Trump. It s a disaster, he said in Sept. We will either renegotiate it, or we will break it.

VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT In This State…Get A Prize! Does Anyone Care That Democrats Are Stealing Our Election?Every day we hear of more voter fraud being uncovered across the United States. This is nothing new and every election we read about more and more early voter fraud being committed. When will Republicans stop cowering to threats of racism and voter suppressions levied by the very people who are stealing our votes?There s a mere four weeks left to go before the presidential election, and the allegations of voter fraud just. Keep. Coming.The Kankakee Daily Journal, a local newspaper in a county just south of Chicago, reported last week that several citizens in the small county reported they were offered bribes in return for casting votes for Democrats. Voting officials were also looking into reports that some mail-in voter applications had been filed from outside the county.From the article:The Kankakee County State s Attorney s office says it is investigating possible voting fraud after the clerk s office reported three complaints from people who said they were offered bribes for votes.In a news release issued late Tuesday afternoon, Jamie Boyd, the state s attorney, also said several vote-by-mail applications seem to have come from people living outside of Kankakee County. This unprecedented action was taken in response to reports of individuals from Chicago offering gifts to potential voters in exchange for a vote for Kate Cloonen, Hillary Clinton and others, Boyd said in the news release. Our office takes seriously the obligation to protect the rights of citizens to vote for the candidate of their choice, and to do so without undue influence from special interest groups. The investigation will also focus on the authenticity of vote by mail requests. Several applications have been filed with the election authority that appear to be fraudulently executed.

Northern Ireland power-sharing talks to extend into WednesdayBELFAST (Reuters) - Northern Ireland s main political parties are to continue talks aimed at restoring the British region s devolved government on Wednesday, a British government official said, in an apparent extension of a deadline for a deal. Representatives of Irish nationalists Sinn Fein and the pro-British Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) ended their second day of talks aimed at re-establishing a power-sharing government that collapsed in January, the official said. The British government has indicated that if the parties fail to reach agreement in the coming days it will be forced to impose a budget directly for the first time in a decade to ensure essential services are funded. A budget set by the British government would be a major step towards direct rule from London, which could destabilize a delicate political balance there. On Monday the British government s minister for Northern Ireland, James Brokenshire, said if there was no progress by the end of talks on Tuesday he would assess whether London needed to move impose a budget. The spokesman declined to comment when asked when that decision would be made. The DUP and Sinn Fein have shared power for the past decade in a system created following a 1998 peace deal that ended three decades of violence in the province. Sinn Fein pulled out in January, complaining it was not being treated as an equal partner. worldnews | 1 | northern ireland talks extend wednesdaybelfast reuters northern ireland main political parties continue talks aimed restoring british region devolved government wednesday british government official said apparent extension deadline deal representatives irish nationalists sign ftin democratic unionist party dup ended second day talks aimed government collapsed january official said the british government indicated parties fail reach agreement coming days forced impose budget directly first time decade ensure essential services funded a budget set british government would major step towards direct rule london could stabilize delicate political balance on monday british government minister northern ireland james brokenshire said progress end talks tuesday would assess whether london needed move impose budget the spokesman declined comment asked decision would made the dup sign ftin shared power past decade system created following peace deal ended three decades violence province sign ftin pulled january complaining treated equal partner worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Vermont governor snuffs legal pot, tells lawmakers to 'get it right'(Reuters) - Vermont’s governor on Wednesday halted, at least temporarily, efforts to become the ninth state to legalize the recreational use of marijuana, but offered to work with state legislators to resolve what he cited as the bill’s shortcomings. In vetoing the measure to decriminalize possession of small amounts of the drug for adults and to pave the way for a regulated market in the state, Republican Governor Phil Scott stressed he was not philosophically opposed to the concept, which he said he views “through a libertarian lens.” But in an effort to “get it right,” he said the bill needs to improve protections for children and motorists. “I want to reiterate that we can all work together on this issue in a thoughtful and responsible way,” the governor said at his weekly news conference in Montpelier. Scott said the bill should “make clear” that there will be no change in current penalties for giving or selling the drug to minors under 21 or near schools, and it should have stiffer penalties for smoking marijuana while driving or in front of children. The Marijuana Regulatory Commission the bill would create needs to include police, health and tax collecting representatives, and should be responsible for coming up with impairment limits for drivers, testing mechanisms, and education and prevention programs for minors, he added. “If the legislature agrees to make the changes I am seeking, we can move this discussion forward in a way that ensures the public health and safety of our communities and our children continues to come first,” said Scott. The Marijuana Policy Project, a pro-legalization group, said it was disappointed, but held out hope that the governor and legislators would reach a compromise. “Most Vermonters want to end marijuana prohibition, and it is critical that the legislature respond by passing a revised legalization bill this summer,” said Matt Simon, the group’s New England political director. The bill, which won the approval of the state’s House of Representatives 79-66 and the state Senate 20-9, both of which are controlled by Democrats, would have made Vermont the first state to legalize recreational marijuana legislatively, instead of by popular referendum. Of the eight states and the District of Columbia that have legalized recreational marijuana, two - Massachusetts and Maine - are nearby, while Canada, to Vermont’s north, is considering legalization. Marijuana remains illegal under U.S. federal law. politicsNews | 1 | vermont governor snuff legal pot tells lawmakers right reuters vermont governor wednesday halted least temporarily efforts become ninth state legalize recreational use marijuana offered work state legislators resolve cited bill shortcomings in vetting measure decriminalize possession small amounts drug adults pave way regulated market state republican governor phil scott stressed philosophical opposed concept said views libertarian but effort get right said bill needs improve protections children motorists i want reiterate work together issue thoughtful responsible way governor said weekly news conference montpelier scott said bill make clear change current penalties giving selling drug minors near schools staffer penalties smoking marijuana driving front children the marijuana regulatory commission bill would create needs include police health tax collecting representatives responsible coming impairment limits drivers testing mechanisms education prevention programs minors added if legislature agrees make changes i seeking move discussion forward way ensures public health safety communities children continues come first said scott the marijuana policy project group said disappointed held hope governor legislators would reach compromise most vermonters want end marijuana prohibition critical legislature respond passing revised legalization bill summer said matt simon group new england political director the bill approval state house representatives state senate controlled democrats would made vermont first state legalize recreational marijuana legislative instead popular referendum of eight states district columbia legalized recreational marijuana two massachusetts maine nearby canada vermont north considering legalization marijuana remains illegal federal law politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Ryan, Trump team discuss border tax at Capitol Hill meetingWASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan and top members of President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team on Monday discussed a controversial plan to tax imports during an evening meeting on Capitol Hill, a Trump adviser said. Trump’s incoming chief strategist Stephen Bannon said the meeting examined two provisions of Ryan’s “Better Way” tax reform blueprint, including a border-adjustability measure intended to boost U.S. manufacturing by taxing imports while exempting U.S. business export revenues from corporate taxation. The discussion also focused on a House “territorial” tax proposal that would end U.S. taxation on the foreign profits of U.S.-based multinationals, Bannon told reporters as more than a half-dozen Trump transition team members left the 2-1/2 hour meeting. Bannon said the discussion involved “working through” border adjustability and added that the territorial measure was “also what this meeting’s about. Start working through it, make sure everybody understands it and is on the same page.” Some tax experts believe Trump has signalled his support for the border adjustability provision in recent tweets warning that companies including automakers could face a border tax if they expand manufacturing abroad and ship products back to the U.S. market. Trump and Ryan agree that tax reform should reduce tax rates for individuals and businesses, do away with longstanding tax loopholes and broaden the tax base in order to drive U.S. economic growth. Advocates say the House Republican border-adjustability measure could help Trump meet his pledge of boosting manufacturing jobs in the United States. It would also pay for lower tax rates by raising more than $1 trillion in revenues over 10 years, analysts say. But some industries including retailers, automakers and oil refiners claim it would raise consumer prices by making exports more expensive. Other critics say it could be vulnerable to a challenge before the World Trade Organization. House Republicans say their territorial provision would bring the United States into line with other countries that do not tax their business’s foreign profits. Up to now, Trump has favored maintaining the current U.S. tax system, which taxes U.S. earnings abroad but allows companies to defer taxes until profits are returned. U.S. corporations have sought to avoid the tax by stashing about $2.6 trillion in earnings overseas. Also attending Monday’s meeting with Ryan and his staff were Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, Treasury Secretary-nominee Steven Mnuchin, incoming chief of staff Reince Priebus and National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn. politicsNews | 1 | ryan trump team discuss border tax capitol hill meetingwashington reuters house representatives speaker paul ryan top members donald trump transition team monday discussed controversial plan tax imports evening meeting capitol hill trump adviser said trump incoming chief strategist stephen cannon said meeting examined two provisions ryan better way tax reform blueprint including measure intended boost manufacturing taxing imports exemption business export revenues corporate taxation the discussion also focused house territorial tax proposal would end taxation foreign profits multinational cannon told reporters trump transition team members left hour meeting cannon said discussion involved working border adjustability added territorial measure also meeting start working make sure everybody understands some tax experts believe trump signalled support border adjustability provision recent tweets warning companies including automakers could face border tax expand manufacturing abroad ship products back market trump ryan agree tax reform reduce tax rates individuals businesses away longstanding tax loopholes broaden tax base order drive economic growth advocates say house republican measure could help trump meet pledge boosting manufacturing jobs united states it would also pay lower tax rates raising trillion revenues years analysts say but industries including retailers automakers oil refinery claim would raise consumer prices making exports expensive other critics say could vulnerable challenge world trade organization house republicans say territorial provision would bring united states line countries tax business foreign profits up trump favored maintaining current tax system taxes earnings abroad allows companies defer taxes profits returned corporations sought avoid tax smashing trillion earnings overseas also attending monday meeting ryan staff trump jared pusher treasury steven mnuchin incoming chief staff rence priests national economic council director gary con politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

House Republicans say their territorial provision would bring the United States into line with other countries that do not tax their business’s foreign profits. Up to now, Trump has favored maintaining the current U.S. tax system, which taxes U.S. earnings abroad but allows companies to defer taxes until profits are returned. U.S. corporations have sought to avoid the tax by stashing about $2.6 trillion in earnings overseas. Also attending Monday’s meeting with Ryan and his staff were Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, Treasury Secretary-nominee Steven Mnuchin, incoming chief of staff Reince Priebus and National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn. politicsNews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

BOOM! PRESIDENT TRUMP’S National Park Service CANCELS Taxpayer Funding For Project Honoring Violent Black Panther’s Group That Killed Park RangerBeyonce made an attempt to glorify the violent Black Panther s group during her NFL Superbowl halftime show in 2015. Former President Barack Obama once marched with the New Black Panthers while campaigning for president in Selma, AL in March, 2007. The photographs, captured from a Flickr photo-sharing account before it was scrubbed, are the latest evidence of the mainstream media s failure to examine Obama s extremist ties and radical roots.The National Park Service told the Washington Free Beacon it is no longer providing funding for a controversial project honoring the legacy of the Black Panther Party after outrage that the agency would spend taxpayer dollars to memorialize a group that murdered a park ranger in the 1970s.The Free Beacon revealed last month that the Park Service gave roughly $100,000 to the University of California, Berkeley for a research project on the Marxist extremist group to memorialize a history that brought meaning to lives far beyond the San Francisco Bay Area. A captain in the Black Panther Party murdered National Park Service ranger Kenneth Patrick while he was on patrol near San Francisco in 1973. Patrick was shot three times by Veronza Leon Curtis Bowers Jr., who is currently serving a life sentence for first-degree murder. Patrick left behind a widow and three children.The Fraternal Order of Police, the largest organization of sworn law enforcement officers with over 330,000 members, sent a letter to President Donald Trump last week expressing outrage and shock that the National Park Service would fund a project honoring the legacy of the Black Panther Party. Mr. President, as far as we are concerned the only meaning they brought to any lives was grief to the families of their victims, wrote Chuck Canterbury, the national president of the Fraternal Order of Police. According to our research, members of this militant anti-American group murdered 16 law enforcement officers over the course of their history. Among their victims was U.S. Park Ranger Kenneth C. Patrick. He was murdered in cold blood by three members of the Black Panther Party on 5 August 1973. His killer, who remains behind bars, still considers himself a Black Panther and a political prisoner.' It is appalling that the National Park Service, Ranger Patrick s own agency, now proposes to partner with [Berkeley] and two active members of this violent and repugnant organization, Canterbury said.The FBI labels the Black Panther Party as advocates for the use of violence and guerilla tactics to overthrow the U.S. government. At a time when many in our nation feel strongly that memorials to aspects of the darker times in our history be removed from public lands, why would the NPS seek to commemorate the activities of an extremist separatist group that advocated the use of violence against our country a country they perceived as their enemy? Canterbury asked. This is a despicable irony and we hope you can bring it to an end by halting [the grant] immediately. politics | 0 | boom president trump s national park service cancels taxpayer funding for project honoring violent black panther group that killed park rangerbeyonce made attempt clarify violent black panther group nfl superbowl halftime show former president barack obama marched new black panthers campaigning president seems al march the photographs captured flickr account rubbed latest evidence mainstream media failure examine obama extremist ties radical national park service told washington free beacon longer providing funding controversial project honoring legacy black panther party outrage agency would spend taxpayer dollars memorialized group murdered park ranger free beacon revealed last month park service gave roughly university california berkeley research project marxists extremist group memorialized history brought meaning lives far beyond san francisco bay area a captain black panther party murdered national park service ranger kenneth patrick patrol near san francisco patrick shot three times veronica leon curtis powers currently serving life sentence murder patrick left behind widow three fraternal order police largest organization sworn law enforcement officers members sent letter president donald trump last week expressing outrage shock national park service would fund project honoring legacy black panther party president far concerned meaning brought lives grief families victims wrote chuck canterbury national president fraternal order police according research members militant group murdered law enforcement officers course history among victims park ranger kenneth patrick he murdered cold blood three members black panther party august his killer remains behind bars still considers black panther political prisoner it appalling national park service ranger patrick agency proposes partner berkeley two active members violent repugnant organization canterbury fbi labels black panther party advocates use violence guerilla tactics overthrow government at time many nation feel strongly memorials aspects darker times history removed public lands would nps seek commemorate activities extremist separatist group advocated use violence country country perceived enemy canterbury asked this despicable irony hope bring end halting grant immediately politics | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

After victory in Raqqa over IS, Kurds face tricky peaceRAQQA, Syria/BEIRUT (Reuters) - Kurdish groups who led the fight against Islamic State in its former capital Raqqa must navigate a complex peace to avoid ethnic tension with the city s Arab majority and to secure critical U.S. aid. The Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) which finally vanquished Islamic State in Raqqa on Tuesday face a big task rebuilding a city left in ruins by months of intense fighting and heavy air strikes by the U.S.-led coalition. The political challenge is no less daunting in a city that falls outside the Kurdish-dominated regions of northern Syria. The fall of Raqqa, where Islamic State staged euphoric parades after its string of lightning victories in 2014, is a potent symbol of the jihadist movement s collapsing fortunes. Its self-declared caliphate is also crumbling fast in eastern Syria, helping President Bashar al-Assad and his Iranian and Russian allies to recapture swathes of territory. Keenly aware of Raqqa s ethnic and tribal sensitivities, the SDF has been working hard to put Arabs at the heart of plans for local government and policing post-Islamic State, analysts say. In the short term, the Raqqa Civil Council (RCC) set up under SDF auspices must urgently provide security, repair infrastructure and supply aid to win the backing of a population exhausted by conflict, and to allow the people of Raqqa to return home. Longer term, Raqqa s political destiny is tied to the wider fate of the war that has shattered Syria into a patchwork of areas over the last six years, including swathes of the north controlled by the Kurdish YPG militia that leads the SDF. Ultimately, the Syrian state wants to recover control of this city on the Euphrates River, meaning it may eventually become the arena of a new conflict with Damascus, or a bargaining chip in eventual negotiations over possible Kurdish autonomy. Whoever leads us, Kurd or Arab, we want them to provide us with services, said a man from Raqqa, speaking outside the RCC headquarters in Ain Issa, north of the city. Safety and security is the most important thing, said the man, a government employee before the war who cited lingering fear of the Syrian state as his reason for staying anonymous. Raqqa was not a target for the YPG earlier in the war but gradually became one as the militia emerged as the main Syrian partner for the U.S.-led coalition. The U.S.-led coalition says Arab fighters battling under the SDF banner made up the bulk of the force in the Raqqa campaign. But Kurdish commanders and fighters of the well-organised YPG appeared the leading force throughout the four-month campaign. Syria s main Kurdish party, the PYD, and its allies may hope Raqqa will eventually join a new federal system of autonomous regions they are establishing in the north. But Kurdish leaders say it is too early to discuss that for now, underlining local and international sensitivities surrounding the political project opposed by their U.S. allies and neighbouring Turkey. While Syrian Kurds say they want to remain part of Syria, regional concern over Kurdish separatism has deepened since Iraqi Kurds voted for independence, triggering military action by Iraq and tough measures by Turkey and Iran. Turkey, in particular, views rising Syrian Kurdish power at its border as a threat to its security, and unsuccessfully pressed Washington to abandon its alliance with the YPG in the run up to the Raqqa attack. Turkey plays host to a rival Raqqa civil council which regards the YPG as a foreign occupation force. Kurdish politicians say Raqqa s future is now entirely in the hands of its people. So far we have not seen any reactions to indicate there will not be acceptance of the SDF, or the RCC, said Fawza Youssef, a senior Kurdish politician, in an interview. The ones who will remain in Raqqa will be the internal security forces and the RCC, she said. The security forces that are being prepared are all volunteers from Raqqa. Some YPG fighters quickly began pulling back from the city on Tuesday, handing their positions to non-Kurdish elements of the SDF, a witness and field commanders said. The SDF applied a similar model in the northern Syrian city of Manbij last year after capturing it from Islamic State. The (RCC) is still closely linked with YPG/PYD power structures, but they have put more time and effort into emphasising inclusivity than we have seen in some other areas, senior International Crisis Group analyst Noah Bonsey said. But the risk of unrest would rise if Kurdish groups were perceived to be micro-managing the city. There is also the risk of covert interference from the outside: IS sleeper cells, and the Syrian regime may see an interest in using loyalist networks to destabilise things. Either of those dynamics could heighten ethnic tension. Yasser al-Sayyed, a 43-year-old former car salesman from Raqqa, said people are happy with the SDF now, of course, because they re free from Daesh (Islamic State) . But this needs to be followed up with aid, reconstruction and jobs. The United States has deployed a team of diplomats to Syria to work on humanitarian and stabilisation efforts. The U.S. State Department said Washington would take the lead in helping to clear rubble and restore basic services. We will assist and take, essentially, the lead in bringing back the water, electricity and all of that, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert told a briefing. But eventually the governance of the country of Syria is something that I think all nations remain very interested in. But analysts question how long U.S. support will last. A U.S. official involved in post-Raqqa planning said support could not be channelled to a PYD political project of expansion into this part of the country , and the United States would not support the PYD project to make an autonomous administration . For example, the official said schools could only get aid if they were teaching a variant of the Syrian state curriculum, rather than an entirely new one. We re not going to support a separatist entity ... that s cut and dry, the official said. Though McGurk said nobody living in SDF-held areas wanted a return of Syrian state control, Damascus may be planning to reassert its influence. A Syrian government official forecast trouble ahead for the SDF in Raqqa and other Arab majority areas of Syria. There is a contradiction, said one Syrian official, speaking on condition of anonymity. The manpower is with the Arabs, but the military power is with the Kurds. worldnews | 1 | after victory aqua is kurds face tricky peaceraqqa reuters kurdish groups led fight islamic state former capital aqua must navigate complex peace avoid ethnic tension city arab majority secure critical aid the syrian democratic forces sdf finally vanished islamic state aqua tuesday face big task rebuilding city left ruins months intense fighting heavy air strikes coalition the political challenge less daunting city falls outside regions northern syria the fall aqua islamic state staged euphoric parades string lightning victories potent symbol jihadist movement collapsing fortunes its caliphate also crumbling fast eastern syria helping president basal iranian russian allies recapture states territory weekly aware aqua ethnic tribal sensibilities sdf working hard put arab heart plans local government policing state analysts say in short term aqua civil council cc set sdf auspices must urgently provide security repair infrastructure supply aid win backing population exhausted conflict allow people aqua return home longer term aqua political destiny tied wider fate war shattered syria patchwork areas last six years including states north controlled kurdish ypg militia leads sdf ultimately syrian state wants recover control city euphrates river meaning may eventually become arena new conflict damascus bargaining chip eventual negotiations possible kurdish autonomy whoever leads us kur arab want provide us services said man aqua speaking outside cc headquarters ain issn north city safety security important thing said man government employee war cited lingering fear syrian state reason staying anonymous aqua target ypg earlier war gradually became one militia emerged main syrian partner coalition the coalition says arab fighters battling sdf banner made bulk force aqua campaign but kurdish commanders fighters ypg appeared leading force throughout campaign syria main kurdish party pid allies may hope aqua eventually join new federal system autonomous regions establishing north but kurdish leaders say early discuss undermining local international sensibilities surrounding political project opposed allies neighbouring turkey while syrian kurds say want remain part syria regional concern kurdish separatism deepened since iraqi kurds voted independence triggering military action iraq tough measures turkey iran turkey particular views rising syrian kurdish power border threat security unsuccessfully pressed washington abandon alliance ypg run aqua attack turkey plays host rival aqua civil council regards ypg foreign occupation force kurdish politicians say aqua future entirely hands people so far seen reactions indicate acceptance sdf cc said fauna yourself senior kurdish politician interview the ones remain aqua internal security forces cc said the security forces prepared volunteers aqua some ypg fighters quickly began pulling back city tuesday handing positions elements sdf witness field commanders said the sdf applied similar model northern syrian city mania last year capturing islamic state the cc still closely linked power structures put time effort emphasising exclusivity seen areas senior international crisis group analyst noah money said but risk unrest would rise kurdish groups perceived city there also risk covert interference outside is sleeper cells syrian regime may see interest using loyalist networks destabilise things either dynamics could height ethnic tension passer former car salesman aqua said people happy sdf course free dash islamic state but needs followed aid reconstruction jobs the united states deployed team diplomats syria work humanitarian stabilization efforts the state department said washington would take lead helping clear rubble restore basic services we assist take essentially lead bringing back water electricity state department spokeswoman heather alert told briefing but eventually governance country syria something i think nations remain interested but analysts question long support last a official involved planning said support could channeled pid political project expansion part country united states would support pid project make autonomous administration for example official said schools could get aid teaching variant syrian state curriculum rather entirely new one we going support separatist entity cut dry official said though mcgurk said nobody living areas wanted return syrian state control damascus may planning assert influence a syrian government official forecast trouble ahead sdf aqua arab majority areas syria there contradiction said one syrian official speaking condition anonymity the manpower arab military power kurds worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Myanmar tells U.N. Rohingya refugees can return from BangladeshGENEVA (Reuters) - Myanmar told the United Nations refugee agency on Monday its top priority was to bring back Rohingyas who have fled to Bangladesh, but much work was needed to consolidate stability in its troubled northern region of Rakhine. Bangladesh and Myanmar agreed on Monday to set up a working group to plan the repatriation of more than half a million Rohingya Muslim refugees who have fled to Bangladesh to escape an army crackdown, the Bangladeshi foreign minister said. Win Myat Aye, Myanmar s Union Minister, Minister of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement, addressed the U.N. refugee agency s (UNHCR) Executive Committee after U.N. refugee chief Filippo Grandi called for resolving issues related to Rohingya citizenship and rights. Our next immediate priority is to bring back the refugees who have fled to Bangladesh, Win Myat Aye told the Geneva forum. The repatriation process can start any time for those who wish to return to Myanmar. The verification of refugees will be based on the agreement between the Myanmar and Bangladesh governments in 1993, he said. Those who have been verified as refugees from this country will be accepted without any problem and with full assurance of their security and their access to human dignity. The status of Rohingya remains unsettled in Myanmar where they are denied citizenship and classified as illegal immigrants, despite claiming roots in Myanmar that go back centuries, with communities marginalized and subjected to bouts of communal violence over the years. Many refugees are gloomy about the prospects of going back to Buddhist-majority Myanmar, fearing they will not be able to furnish the documents they anticipate the government will demand to prove they have a right to return. Win Myat Aye accused terrorist organizations of launching coordinated attacks on police posts on Aug. 25 that sparked the exodus.

Rohingya refugees can return from BangladeshGENEVA (Reuters) - Myanmar told the United Nations refugee agency on Monday its top priority was to bring back Rohingyas who have fled to Bangladesh, but much work was needed to consolidate stability in its troubled northern region of Rakhine. Bangladesh and Myanmar agreed on Monday to set up a working group to plan the repatriation of more than half a million Rohingya Muslim refugees who have fled to Bangladesh to escape an army crackdown, the Bangladeshi foreign minister said. Win Myat Aye, Myanmar s Union Minister, Minister of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement, addressed the U.N. refugee agency s (UNHCR) Executive Committee after U.N. refugee chief Filippo Grandi called for resolving issues related to Rohingya citizenship and rights. Our next immediate priority is to bring back the refugees who have fled to Bangladesh, Win Myat Aye told the Geneva forum. The repatriation process can start any time for those who wish to return to Myanmar. The verification of refugees will be based on the agreement between the Myanmar and Bangladesh governments in 1993, he said. Those who have been verified as refugees from this country will be accepted without any problem and with full assurance of their security and their access to human dignity. The status of Rohingya remains unsettled in Myanmar where they are denied citizenship and classified as illegal immigrants, despite claiming roots in Myanmar that go back centuries, with communities marginalized and subjected to bouts of communal violence over the years. Many refugees are gloomy about the prospects of going back to Buddhist-majority Myanmar, fearing they will not be able to furnish the documents they anticipate the government will demand to prove they have a right to return. Win Myat Aye accused terrorist organizations of launching coordinated attacks on police posts on Aug. 25 that sparked the exodus. He said in addition to a humanitarian perspective, handling the situation also required considerations from security and political angles . Although the security situation has improved in the affected areas and (there has been) no more armed clashes since Sept. 5, much needs to be done to consolidate the stability in the region, he said.

Trump Advisor’s Excuse For His Boss Ignoring White Terrorism Is Beyond Laughable; It’s DangerousDonald Trump took quite a bit of heat following the racist shooting in Kansas City that resulted in the deaths of two Indian engineers. The perpetrator shouted what sounded like Trump-inspired racial slurs like get out of my country, before killing Srinivas Kuchibholta, who died and Alok Madasani, who was injured. Trump took almost a week to address the shooting at all. There was also a spate of vandalism toward Jewish cemeteries and for most of a week, crickets from Trump.Trump did finally talk about the shooting and the vandalism in his address to Congress on Tuesday, but many say it was too little too late. After all, Trump doesn t hesitate in calling out Muslim terrorists. He and his people even make up terrorist attacks.In an interview with CNN s Alisyn Camerota, Trump surrogate Anthony Scaramucci said that the only reason Trump didn t address the Kansas City shooting and the string of vandalism in Jewish cemeteries, was that it would cause more fear and civil unrest. He s not constantly condemning [hate crimes by white people], Camerota pointed out. There was silence after Kansas City. He didn t tweet about it. Some people felt if had it been a Muslim, had it been a Middle Eastern gunman instead of a white gunman, he would have immediately condemned it. The president is controlling the bully pulpit and the news cycle, and he doesn t want to overly discuss the stuff because you re worried that in itself will cause a fire, he replied. You re trying to strike the right balance. You can agree with me or disagree with me. I do believe the president has consistently, and maybe not with the level of volume you d like, but he has consistently and his administration has consistently denounced these acts of violence. Source: Raw StoryHere s the video:Let s see if you can follow that logic and I ll be frank, I m having trouble with it. Trump s anti-Muslim rhetoric, which has always flowed freely whenever he speaks or tweets, is a huge recruiting tool for ISIS. Apparently, he doesn t care that he is causing unrest and fear toward Muslims and by Muslims.Hate crimes since the election have been up and hate groups are on the rise. The horse has left the barn as far as Trump inspiring hate, but he does have the bully pulpit. If he can influence hate, he can certainly influence people not to act on their hatred. He won t, though. As more and more sane people turn against him, Trump is left with a base that looks a lot like Hitler s Brownshirts.

SEE WHY “Politically Incorrect” Sign DAIRY QUEEN Owner Posted On DOOR Has Liberals Going Nuts [VIDEO]A sign on the door of a Kewaskum Dairy Queen, calling the restaurant politically incorrect is generating business and conversation.The sign reads: This restaurant is politically incorrect. It warns potential customers that staff may say things like Merry Christmas, Happy Easter, and will also offer free sundaes to veterans on Veterans Day. It also says In God We Trust. I felt the sign was appropriate to hang in terms of being transparent about the views of the owner and staff supporting God and country, said owner Kevin Scheunemann. It just seems that those kinds of values and principles are becoming controversial in society, he said.Watch Dairy Queen franchise owner Kevin Scheunemann explain his decision to post the sign here:The sign was posted close to four years ago after a customer was upset when he heard Christian music inside the restaurant. Scheunemann decided to post the warning and said he hasn t had many problems since then.One time, a customer was upset at the offer of free ice cream for veterans, but Scheunemann said he is open to talking with anyone who may have concerns about the sign. He says he ll even make arrangements for a customer to come in without witnessing any expression of God or country.Other business owners in town say they support Scheunemann s right to run his business the way he sees fit. politics | 0 | see why politically incorrect sign dairy queen owner posted on door has liberals going nuts video a sign door kewaskum dairy queen calling restaurant politically incorrect generating business sign reads this restaurant politically incorrect it warns potential customers staff may say things like merry christmas happy easter also offer free sunday veterans veterans day it also says in god we trust i felt sign appropriate hang terms transparent views owner staff supporting god country said owner kevin scheunemann it seems kinds values principles becoming controversial society dairy queen franchise owner kevin scheunemann explain decision post sign the sign posted close four years ago customer upset heard christian music inside restaurant scheunemann decided post warning said many problems since time customer upset offer free ice cream veterans scheunemann said open talking anyone may concerns sign he says even make arrangements customer come without witnessing expression god business owners town say support scheunemann right run business way sees fit politics | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Britain needs 'new paradigm' for financial services trade with EU: HammondLONDON (Reuters) - Britain will need a new paradigm to sell financial services to the European Union after Brexit as existing trade deals the EU has with foreign countries do not go far enough, the country s finance minister said on Tuesday. Philip Hammond, widely viewed as the most pro-European of Prime Minister Theresa May s senior colleagues, said in a speech at the annual dinner of finance association CityUK that future trading arrangements with the EU had to be durable and fair . Britain has yet to start serious trade talks with the EU ahead of its March 2019 departure, as the process is currently bogged down in disagreements over border arrangements between the British province of Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. May came under pressure on Tuesday from opposition parties and some allies to soften the EU divorce by keeping Britain in the single market and customs union after Brexit, hours after an attempt to break the logjam over the Irish border collapsed. Hammond said he would not comment on the events of last two days concerning Northern Ireland, but added that Britain and the EU had made good progress in talks over recent weeks. I am optimistic that we will achieve sufficient progress at the Council next week, and move on to the next stage of the negotiations, Hammond said, referring to a scheduled meeting of EU leaders on Dec. 14 and 15. Britain wants to protect its existing trading arrangements with the EU, and the type of deal the EU has struck with other countries in the past is not acceptable, Hammond said. We must develop a new paradigm for our future trading relationship in financial services, he said. No existing trade agreement, nor third-country access to the EU, could support the scale and complexity of reciprocal trade in financial services that exists between the UK and the EU, he added. Earlier on Tuesday, the Bank of England reiterated its warning that without legislative changes in Britain and the EU, tens of billions of pounds of cross-border insurance contracts risk legal uncertainty after Brexit, and said it was considering if banks needed to hold extra capital. worldnews | 1 | britain needs paradigm financial services trade eu hammondlondon reuters britain need new paradigm sell financial services european union brexit existing trade deals eu foreign countries go far enough country finance minister said tuesday philip hammond widely viewed prime minister theresa may senior colleagues said speech annual dinner finance association city future trading arrangements eu durable fair britain yet start serious trade talks eu ahead march departure process currently bogged disagreements border arrangements british province northern ireland irish republic may came pressure tuesday opposition parties allies soften eu divorce keeping britain single market customs union brexit hours attempt break logan irish border collapsed hammond said would comment events last two days concerning northern ireland added britain eu made good progress talks recent weeks i optimistic achieve sufficient progress council next week move next stage negotiations hammond said referring scheduled meeting eu leaders britain wants protect existing trading arrangements eu type deal eu struck countries past acceptable hammond said we must develop new paradigm future trading relationship financial services said no existing trade agreement access eu could support scale complexity reciprocal trade financial services exists uk eu added earlier tuesday bank england reiterated warning without legislative changes britain eu tens billions pounds insurance contracts risk legal uncertainty brexit said considering banks needed hold extra capital worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

BREAKING REPORT: HILLARY SUPPORTER, CEO Of Las Vegas MGM and Mandalay Bay Resort Asked Employees To Donate To CAIR Only 2 Months Ago, Wife Worked For ObamaOn August 15, 2017, Jim Murren, CEO of MGM which owns Mandalay Bay Casino and Resort, came out with a bold statement of support for Hillary Clinton s presidential campaign: As a lifelong registered Republican, I ve crossed the aisle only a few times in elections past, and almost never at the presidential level. Each time, it was a gut-wrenching decision.But this year it s an easy choice. I m going to put my country ahead of my party by voting for Hillary Clinton and by making my first-ever public endorsement of a presidential candidate. Breaking from investigative reporter Laura Loomer*: EXCLUSIVE: In this internal memo I have obtained, Jim Murren, the CEO of MGM resorts which owns Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino (where Stephen Paddock committed his massacre) asked employees to donate to CAIR, a documented terrorist organization, two months ago.Murren declared that he d match all donations from his employees to CAIR, and radical left-wing anti -Trump groups like Southern Poverty Law Center and ADL Anti-Defamation League. His wife, Heather Murren also worked for the Obama administration on Obama s Commission for Enhancing National Cybersecurity in 2016.When this memo first came out from the MGM CEO to his employees, Wayne Allen Root wrote in the Townhall publication about his disgust for a CEO of a major company asking his employees to donate to these radical groups, many of which, are in direct conflict with conservative and Christian values.Why is the MGM CEO asking his employees to contribute to radical, left-wing organizations? Why did the killer choose to stay in the Mandalay Casino? Why is no one reporting about the fact that the wife of the MGM CEO worked for Obama on his Commission for Enhancing National Cybersecurity only one year ago?What about the fact that receipts that allegedly came from the Mandalay Casino Resort show that there were 2 GUESTS in the room with the shooter and that he actually checked in one day before the date of check-in that s being reported.Again, more from investigative journalist Laura Loomer*:BREAKING: Copies of receipts from the Las Vegas shooter s room service were posted by Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino room service employee Tony Hernandez Armenta. The receipts confirm my previous reporting that Stephen Paddock checked into the resort prior to Sept. 28. The receipts are dated Sept. 27, 2017, and indicate that there were 2 GUESTS inside the room at the time of service. My source who works at the Mandalay told me Paddock s reservation began on Sept. 25, all of which proves that Las Vegas law enforcement and FBI aren t providing accurate information to the public. All of a sudden, there s been a shift in the investigation.

Perhaps someone will explain to London s new Muslim Mayor that after 8 long years of being kicked around, America s about to elect a new leader who won t be entertaining threats or opinions of local Mayor s in foreign countries. A poll in April found that two-thirds of British Muslims would not tell the government if a friend or family member became involved with extremists.The new Muslim mayor of London has issued a warning to Donald Trump: Moderate your stance on Muslims, or they will launch more attacks against America.Trump recently praised Sadiq Khan for winning London s mayoral race, and said he would be willing to create an exception in his policy restricting Muslim entry into the United States in order to allow Khan to visit. But in a statement Tuesday, Khan dismissed Trump s invitation, and also denounced his views on Islam as ignorant, suggesting Trump s policies would increase the terrorist threat in both the U.S. and U.K. Donald Trump s ignorant view of Islam could make both of our countries less safe it risks alienating mainstream Muslims around the world and plays into the hands of extremists, he said.

FAKE NEWS WEEK: Electronic Voting – The Big Lie That Just Won’t Die In response to the establishment media s contrived fake news crisis designed to marginalise independent and alternative media sources of news and analysis, 21WIRE is running its own #FakeNewsWeek awareness campaign, where each day our editorial team at 21st Century Wire will feature media critiques and analysis of mainstream corporate media coverage of current events exposing the government and the mainstream media as the real purveyors of fake news throughout modern history . Mark Anderson 21st Century WireThe U.S. government, the intelligence community and their malicious mainstream-media partners in deception just won t let it go.The underhanded U.S. unitary state, which seeks a unipolar world with the U.S. in charge, still says in its never ending story that omniscient, omnipresent Russian leader Vladimir Putin masterminded hacking the computerized systems of U.S. elections as well as Democratic National Committee computers.Then, as the stale tale goes, Russia handed all the resulting electronic juicy tidbits over to Wikileaks, which turned around and dropped a veritable information bomb on America s delicate democracy.But while that bomb allegedly influenced enough people to vote for the winner Donald Trump and not for loser Hillary Clinton, to this day, according to big media, we re supposed to forget all about the creepy, damning, criminally inclined things contained in the Podesta-Clinton emails themselves.So, let s try and grasp this media-massaged, intel-infused message: Even though the emails apparently had enough sizzle and scandal to boost one presidential candidate over another, we re still prodded to think that the information in the emails somehow isn t the issue even though the content of the emails will always be what matters the most.Also notice what no one, and certainly no media outlet, dares to mention regarding the other half of this issue: If Putin also was crafty enough to hack into the actual state-level U.S. election systems, then this implies that U.S. elections systems can be hacked in the first place.This is huge. Think about it the next time you use an electronic ES&S Ivotronic touchscreen voting machine or Hart InterCivic s model at the polls.All along, we ve been reassured that the electronic voting systems used in about 95% of American voting precincts are The Greatest Thing Ever Invented and Monumentally Secure Are they really? THE ELECTORAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX: Securing America s automated voting systems has become a complicated affair. And, all along, writers like Yours Truly, highly credible Texas vote-reform activists like Laura Pressley, Vickie Karp, Bev Harris and others have uncovered tons of evidence that electronic elections are an immensely deceptive and vulnerable apparatus vulnerable to external hacking and also to being fixed from the inside without any need for outside hacking, through the proprietary software inside the these voting contraptions that can be pre-set to steal elections if the need arises.You re going to want to see my interview with Laura Pressley, on behalf of American Free Press, through this link right here.THE RUSSIAN DISTRACTION As Pressley shows in detail, the integrity and lawfulness of Texas elections are in serious peril not because of any outside autocrats like Putin and his supposed cyberspace minions, but because of state and local election officials, right here in the U.S., who absolutely will not follow state election law. And the average TV or newspaper reporter is utterly tone-deaf to these problems, which keeps the people in perpetual fog, unaware that U.S. elections have been effectively privatized by those who make the machines that count the votes.To hear more about this Putin the Hacker debacle, please listen to my Dec. 29, 2016 interview with UK-based radio host Andrew Carrington Hitchcock on his regularly scheduled American Free Press (AFP) show.Furthermore, check out this Election Night Gatekeepers overview on my blog by election-theft expert Jim Condit Jr., who worked with the late Collier brothers in their game-changing book, Votescam. The media is part of a secretive consortium that counts the vote in secret, meaning the mainstream press fake news carries with it evidence of criminal collusion.The unavoidable conclusion is that the powers-that-be in going after Putin and calling him The Supreme Hacker of the Known Universe have shot themselves in the foot because they re clearly and finally admitting in the process that U.S. voting systems CAN be hacked, after more than a decade of denial.This means that all their denials about electronic election fraud are invalidated. The critics of electronic election systems are right. The establishment is wrong. End of discussion.Meanwhile, recalling some recent history, Wayne Madsen Reports provided some important perspective: Although the Central Intelligence Agency has had a long history of undermining presidents-elect and prime ministers-elect in other countries, the United States has never witnessed the intelligence agency so blatantly attempting to politically weaken a U.S. president-elect [Trump] just a few weeks prior to the inauguration. What the CIA is doing in forcing Donald Trump into shifting from his campaign promise of restoring good relations with Russia to one of outright hostility to Moscow favored by the CIA, Director of National Intelligence (DNI), and the neo-conservatives within the Republican and Democratic Party establishments is nothing less than an overt threat to American democracy. WHERE ARE THE CYBER-COPS?And, as American Free Press reported in its first 2017 edition, the young owner of a Russian-based web-server company may have a handle on who stole sensitive electronic communications between Hillary Clinton and some of her advisors.But 26-year-old Vladimir Fomenko knows one thing for sure: U.S. intelligence, which professes to be hot on the trail of exposing Russian hacking, doesn t seem to care about his story.This means that our leaders in Washington have long ignored a solid lead that could prove once and for all whether or not the Russian government hacked the computers systems of top Democrats and U.S. elections systems.Fomenko recently spoke to AFP to try and demystify the controversy surrounding his King Servers company and the cyberattacks purportedly carried out at the behest of Russia.AFP writer John Friend, quoting Fomenko, noted that even though his servers were exploited in this cyber-crime: No U.S. law enforcement or intelligence agency is interested in speaking with him to gather real evidence on the perpetrators. The U.S. was not the only country hit by computer hackers. Hackers evidently targeted Germany, Turkey, and Ukraine, apparently attempting to upset democratic processes.It was when WikiLeaks began releasing hacked data from the DNC late this past summer that media reports and the Clinton campaign began blaming Russia with no solid evidence to support that assertion.After learning about this shadowy criminal activity, Fomenko immediately shut down the servers and looked into the situation. He says he s willing to cooperate with law enforcement. We pursued an investigation without delay and found some tracks leading to Europe, Fomenko told AFP. Web hosting is a legal enterprise . . . regulated by law, Fomenko added. King Servers works in Russia, the U.S., and the Netherlands and complies with the laws of these countries. Fomenko stressed: No U.S. law enforcement agency has contacted us at this time. Neither the FBI nor any other U.S., Russian, or Dutch intelligence agency has contacted us. The plot thickens WSB-TV Channel 2 reporters in Atlanta, Georgia actually did their job and noted: The Georgia Secretary of State s office now confirms 10 different cyberattacks on its network all trace back to U.S. Department of Homeland Security IP addresses. Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, dissatisfied with the federal government s dodgy explanation about these DHS cyberattacks, fired off a letter to then-President-elect Donald Trump to put him in the loop.So, it ll be interesting to see if Trump ever helps Georgia, and other states whose election systems were supposedly hacked, figure out what happened and who s really responsible.After all this time, the accusation that Russia did it still looks less and less credible, as this additional AFP piece outlines, yet the American establishment, thinking it could blame Russia to explain Hillary s loss and come to grips with Trump s win, just won t drop the blame-Putin narrative.We can only hope that Trump s claim that he ll start putting some limits on our out-of-control spy agencies will come true. If ever there was a good reason to pursue those limits, this high-level U.S. intelligence gambit to blame Putin, no matter what, is it. The orthodox press has been a solid ally all along of these intel-intrigues.And this gives Trump a chance to prove he s the real deal, and not another asset of the establishment, despite his seemingly honest intentions to name names and seek real solutions to the real problems that are troubling Americans and citizens across the world.For, if elections are not really a means to find and assign better leaders who will use their victory as a mandate to do the right thing for the voters, then what s the point of having elections at all, hacked or not hacked, honest or not?Author Mark Anderson is an investigative journalist and features writer for American Free Press, and is editor of The Truth Hound.

Trump Literally Stops The GOP Debate To Inform Us All About The Size Of His Penis (VIDEO)The GOP Presidential Primary hit a new low on Thursday night as the debate descended into a literal cockfight, with Donald Trump attempting to convince us all about the satisfactory size of his manhood. This is not satire. This actually happened.The weirdest campaign moment yet came after a plea by Marco Rubio that the GOP candidates end their war of insults, and keep the debate to a battle of ideas instead. At which point, Trump took us on a tangent, which ended with him telling us all about the size of his penis.Basically, Trump has been smarting for a quarter of a century over a slight made against him by journalist Graydon Carter. The Vanity Fair writer wrote a negative piece on Trump, in which he called him a short-fingered vulgarian. Last October, Carter published a piece in Vanity Fair entitled: Why Donald Trump Will Always Be a Short-Fingered Vulgarian - in which he detailed Trump s thin-skinned response to the criticism, and his refusal to let the matter go. He writes:Like so many bullies, Trump has skin of gossamer. He thinks nothing of saying the most hurtful thing about someone else, but when he hears a whisper that runs counter to his own vainglorious self-image, he coils like a caged ferret. Just to drive him a little bit crazy, I took to referring to him as a short-fingered vulgarian in the pages of Spy magazine. That was more than a quarter of a century ago. To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump. There is always a photo of him generally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers.And so it was, that Trump decided that a Primary debate to decide the Republican nominee for President of the United States, was the appropriate place to brag about the size of his penis. Look at those hands. Are they small hands? he told the crowd, holding his (admittedly stubby) fingers out towards the audience and the cameras. He referred to my hands, if they re small, something else must be small. I guarantee you there s no problem. I guarantee. There was awkward laughter from the audience. There was probably much louder laughter around the world, as U.S. politics is turned into the kind of embarrassing spectacle that we are more used to seeing from North Korea or other banana republics. Donald Trump is fast becoming the Kim Jong Un of America: an over-fed, over-indulged, hyper-vain authoritarian who embarrasses his nation every time he embarrasses himself.
