Divided on Trump, EU insists on European unityVALLETTA (Reuters) - European Union leaders said they agreed to stick together in dealing with Donald Trump, but at their first summit since he took office they were at odds on how far to confront or engage with the new U.S. president. Trump and his policies, from questioning the value of NATO and free trade to banning Muslim refugees, came up repeatedly in discussions in Malta on external “challenges” facing the Union. British Prime Minister Theresa May, about to lead her country out of the EU, briefed peers on her visit to Washington last week and assured them Trump was committed to cooperating in their defense — just as Britain would also be after Brexit. Francois Hollande, the outgoing Socialist president of France, led criticism of Trump, calling it “unacceptable” for him to applaud Brexit and forecast the break-up of the EU. In thinly veiled rebukes to May and some eastern states, he warned of trying to cut their own transatlantic deals. “A lot of countries should think of their future first of all in the European Union rather than imagining I don’t what kind of bilateral relationship with the United States,” he said. Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite, who like many in the east is alarmed by Trump’s conciliatory noises to Moscow, poured cold water on May’s suggestion Britain could be a link to Washington. Europe did not need a “bridge”, she was quoted as saying, because it could communicate with Trump on Twitter. But her Polish neighbor, Beata Szydlo, reserved her main criticisms for her predecessor as prime minister, EU summit chair Donald Tusk, who described Trump this week as a “threat” to the EU, along with Russia, China and militant Islam. “European politicians trying to build this sense of fear ... are making a mistake,” said Szydlo, whose government, like Trump, has spoken out against Muslim immigration. “One cannot be confrontational in our relations with the United States.” Stressing the need for unity, the bloc’s dominant leader, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, said Europeans still had common ground with the United States in many areas, while not sharing Trump’s scepticism about many international institutions. “We have again made very clear our common values and our faith in multilateralism,” she told a news conference. The Union would, she said, push for free trade deals with more nations as Trump pulls back. But cooperation with the United States against militant threats would continue, she said. One EU diplomat said France was clearly pushing to use the Trump presidency to rally Europeans behind a policy of greater distance from Washington and turning to the EU, rather than NATO, for their security. “The Germans are much more cautious,” the diplomat said. “There is a clear issue to be decided: whether we seek common ground to engage with the United States, or turn our backs.” Summit host Joseph Muscat, the Maltese prime minister, chose to emphasize balance in summing up the discussions, speaking of “concern” at Trump’s policy but “no sense of anti-Americanism”. “There was a sense that we need to engage with the U.S. just the same,” Muscat said. “But we need to show that we cannot stay silent where there are principles involved.” politicsNews | 1 | divided trump eu insists european unityvalletta reuters european union leaders said agreed stick together dealing donald trump first summit since took office odds far confront engage new president trump policies questioning value nato free trade banning muslim refugees came repeatedly discussions malta external challenges facing union british prime minister theresa may lead country eu briefed peers visit washington last week assured trump committed cooperating defense britain would also brexit francois hollande outgoing socialist president france led criticism trump calling unacceptable applaud brexit forecast eu in thinly veiled rebuke may eastern states warned trying cut transatlantic deals a lot countries think future first european union rather imagining i kind bilateral relationship united states said lithuania president alia grybauskaite like many east alarmed trump conciliatory noises moscow poured cold water may suggestion britain could link washington europe need bridge quoted saying could communicate trump twitter but polish neighbor beat szydlo reserved main criticisms predecessor prime minister eu summit chair donald tusk described trump week threat eu along russia china militant islam european politicians trying build sense fear making mistake said szydlo whose government like trump spoken muslim immigration one confrontational relations united stressing need unity bloc dominant leader german chancellor angela merkel said european still common ground united states many areas sharing trump scepticism many international institutions we made clear common values faith multilateralism told news conference the union would said push free trade deals nations trump pulls back but cooperation united states militant threats would continue said one eu diplomat said france clearly pushing use trump presidency rally european behind policy greater distance washington turning eu rather nato security the germany much cautious diplomat said there clear issue decided whether seek common ground engage united states turn summit host joseph must males prime minister chose emphasize balance summing discussions speaking concern trump policy sense there sense need engage must said but need show stay silent principles politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Democrats Still Have A Chance To Yank The Senate Out From Under The GOP – Here’s HowThe Democrats weren t able to outright win the Senate back from the GOP, but the GOP s majority isn t exactly huge or secure. And there s still a Senate race in Louisiana that has gone to a runoff, to be held on Dec. 10. John Kennedy and Foster Campbell are both up for that particular seat, and should it go to Campbell, the Democrat, it would close that margin even more.Think it can t happen because Louisiana is a deep-red state? They elected a Democratic governor just last year after Republican Governor Bobby Jindal ran them into the ground. Also, their runoffs, despite deciding who actually wins an election, have pretty low turnout. If people in the state are unhappy enough with Trump and with the GOP, those people could turn out for the runoff and swing it to Campbell s side easily.Okay, so that s just one seat and Republicans would still control the Senate with a 51-46 margin. There are two independents Senators Bernie Sanders and Angus King who both tend to vote with the Democrats, so 51-48, with one uncalled race. Should Campbell win, that s effectively a 51-49 margin.We can math, and so can you, so we all know 49 is less than 51. To achieve a majority, someone else has to switch sides. Oddly enough, that isn t exactly impossible, either. Senator John McCain has already made it clear he s not going to play ball with everything Trump wants to do. In fact, McCain is more than a little annoyed over Trump s bromance with Vladimir Putin. To McCain, Putin is a dictatorial tyrant to whom we absolutely should not cozy up:That could mean bucking his own party to the point where he just switches sides.Evidently, Rand Paul and Susan Collins may be ripe for flipping, too, and if even one of them does, along with McCain, then voila! Democrats effectively control the Senate again!However, it s pretty far-fetched. Campbell could easily win the Louisiana seat but getting Republican Senators to change sides, and either vote pretty much entirely Democratic or actually become Democrats, is considerably harder in today s partisan environment. That means hoping and praying the GOP Senators who are all principled right now stay principled enough to thwart their party and Donald Trump if and when it comes to that.In short, don t hold your breath. But don t give up hope, either. We didn t think Trump could win, and he did, and there are a lot of Republicans and conservatives who are just as unhappy with that as we are. Since the next four years started off with the nearly impossible, then hoping for more impossibilities may not be in vain.If you would like to help Campbell win his runoff election and give the Democrats another seat in the Senate, you can donate to his campaign here.

Nothing should change, says Britain in bid for post-Brexit security pactLONDON (Reuters) - Britain proposed a new post-Brexit security treaty with the European Union on Monday, seeking to maintain and intensify cooperation to thwart ever-growing and increasingly cross-border threats . In its sixth policy paper setting out Britain s vision for ties with the EU after it quits the bloc in March 2019, the government said it wanted to keep the benefits of EU security cooperation, arguing it was in both parties interests to do so. The proposal comes days after a blast on a packed commuter underground train injured 30 people in west London, Britain s fifth major attack this year. We already have a deep level of collaboration with the EU on security matters and it is in both our interests to find ways to maintain it, Brexit minister David Davis said in a statement. A new security treaty with the EU would be underpinned by our shared principles, and should make sure our partnership has the agility to respond to the ever-changing threats we face. The paper said an entirely new form of agreement on security was necessary because there was no satisfactory precedent for security cooperation between the EU and non-EU states, and that relying on existing models would diminish British and EU defenses. Britain has published a series of future partnership policy papers to try to nudge talks with the EU forward, after they have stalled over the divorce settlement, especially over the so-called Brexit bill. Security cooperation is seen by government officials as one of their strongest arguments to gain leverage in the complicated talks to unravel more than 40 years of union. Seeking to ram that point home, Monday s paper simultaneously stressed Britain s importance to EU security, and the need for continued cooperation to respond to future threats as they evolve. Interior minister Amber Rudd said Britain was one of the leading EU contributors to a range of measures, such as data and evidence sharing, extradition measures and to the EU s police agency Europol. Recent events in the UK and across Europe have shown the criminal and terrorist threats we face are varied and increasingly international. The long-standing collaboration we have with our European partners allows us to jointly address these threats and keep our citizens safe, she said. As we prepare to leave the EU it is therefore vital that we agree a new way to ensure continued security, law enforcement and criminal justice cooperation, Rudd said. The document did not rule out Britain seeking membership of police agency Europol and other bodies, or using the European Arrest Warrant which provides fast-track extradition. Its focus, however, was finding a way to keep the operational capabilities provided by those instruments. worldnews | 1 | nothing change says britain bid security pactlondon reuters britain proposed new security treaty european union monday seeking maintain intensify cooperation thwart increasingly threats in sixth policy paper setting britain vision ties eu quits bloc march government said wanted keep benefits eu security cooperation arguing parties interests the proposal comes days blast packed commuter underground train injured people west london britain fifth major attack year we already deep level collaboration eu security matters interests find ways maintain brexit minister david davis said statement a new security treaty eu would undermined shared principles make sure partnership agility respond threats face the paper said entirely new form agreement security necessary satisfactory precedent security cooperation eu states relying existing models would diminish british eu defenses britain published series future partnership policy papers try nudge talks eu forward stalled divorce settlement especially brexit bill security cooperation seen government officials one strongest arguments gain leverage complicated talks unravel years union seeking ram point home monday paper simultaneously stressed britain importance eu security need continued cooperation respond future threats evolve interior minister amber rudd said britain one leading eu contributors range measures data evidence sharing extradition measures eu police agency europe recent events uk across europe shown criminal terrorist threats face varied increasingly international the collaboration european partners allows us jointly address threats keep citizens safe said as prepare leave eu therefore vital agree new way ensure continued security law enforcement criminal justice cooperation rudd said the document rule britain seeking membership police agency europe bodies using european arrest warrant provides extradition its focus however finding way keep operational capabilities provided instruments worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Afghanistan political turmoil deepens as regional leader oustedKABUL (Reuters) - One of the main parties behind Afghanistan s Western-backed government warned President Ashraf Ghani that it could withdraw its support unless he reversed the dismissal of one of its most powerful regional governors this week. The warning from the Jamiat-e Islami party came after Ghani removed Atta Mohammad Noor as governor of Balkh, a strategic northern province bordering Afghanistan s Central Asian neighbors Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Describing the dismissal as a unilateral decision by Ghani, Jamiat s leadership called into question the legitimacy of the unity government formed after a disputed presidential election of 2014. If the presidential palace does not reconsider its one-sided action which is misusing the presence of the international community, Jamiat-e Islami will nullify the national unity government agreement and will employ all options to defend the legitimate rights of the people, the party leadership said in a statement. The man named as Atta Noor s replacement, Mohammad Daoud, also from Jamiat, said he would not take up the position until the situation had been resolved. I want to stay out of it for now, he told Reuters. The standoff adds to an already clouded political climate in Afghanistan, where the United States has announced a stepped-up military effort to break a stalemate with the Taliban and force a settlement to 16 years of conflict. Long-delayed parliamentary elections, officially scheduled for next year, are now in doubt and an array of political leaders both inside and outside the government are positioning themselves ahead of a presidential election in 2019. Ghani s government retains strong international backing but has faced increasing pressure from opposition groups and debilitating tension within its ranks between allies of Ghani and government Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah, a senior Jamiat leader. However, Jamiat is itself divided and it remains unclear what approach will be taken by Abdullah, who was Ghani s rival in 2014 before taking the specially created post of chief executive in a U.S.-brokered power-sharing deal. Abdullah, who has regularly clashed with Atta Noor, has made no public comment on his dismissal. The move to oust Atta Noor, one of a group of powerful regional strongmen, followed calls from politicians including former President Hamid Karzai for a loya jirga, or grand assembly of elders and political leaders to discuss the future of the government. This month, Atta Noor was prevented from attending a meeting in the southern city of Khandahar to discuss the loya jirga proposal. As the political uncertainty has deepened, tension between Pashtuns and ethnic Tajiks, Afghanistan s two largest ethnic groups, as well as others including ethnic Uzbeks and the mainly Shi ite Hazara minority, have worsened. Many in Jamiat, a mainly northern, ethnic Tajik party, see Ghani as a Pashtun nationalist bent on concentrating power in his own office while Jamiat s own opponents see the party as a base for old-style warlords who undermine national unity. worldnews | 1 | afghanistan political turmoil deepens regional leader oustedkabul reuters one main parties behind afghanistan government warned president ashram ghana could withdraw support unless reversed dismissal one powerful regional governors week the warning islam party came ghana removed att mohammad poor governor talk strategic northern province bordering afghanistan central asian neighbors turkmenistan uzbekistan tajikistan describing dismissal unilateral decision ghana jamie leadership called question legitimacy unity government formed disputed presidential election if presidential palace reconsider action misusing presence international community islam qualify national unity government agreement employ options defend legitimate rights people party leadership said statement the man named att poor replacement mohammad dated also jamie said would take position situation resolved i want stay told reuters the standoff adds already clouded political climate afghanistan united states announced military effort break stalemate taliban force settlement years conflict parliamentary elections officially scheduled next year doubt array political leaders inside outside government positioning ahead presidential election ghana government retains strong international backing faced increasing pressure opposition groups debilitating tension within ranks allies ghana government chief executive abdullah abdullah senior jamie leader however jamie divided remains unclear approach taken abdullah ghana rival taking specially created post chief executive deal abdullah regularly clashed att poor made public comment dismissal the move oust att poor one group powerful regional strongman followed calls politicians including former president amid karla loyal liga grand assembly elders political leaders discuss future government this month att poor prevented attending meeting southern city khandahar discuss loyal liga proposal as political uncertainty deepened tension pashtuns ethnic talks afghanistan two largest ethnic groups well others including ethnic uzbeks mainly shi ite hazard minority worsened many jamie mainly northern ethnic talk party see ghana ashton nationalist bent concentrating power office jamie opponents see party base warlords undermine national unity worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

The warning from the Jamiat-e Islami party came after Ghani removed Atta Mohammad Noor as governor of Balkh, a strategic northern province bordering Afghanistan s Central Asian neighbors Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Describing the dismissal as a unilateral decision by Ghani, Jamiat s leadership called into question the legitimacy of the unity government formed after a disputed presidential election of 2014. If the presidential palace does not reconsider its one-sided action which is misusing the presence of the international community, Jamiat-e Islami will nullify the national unity government agreement and will employ all options to defend the legitimate rights of the people, the party leadership said in a statement. The man named as Atta Noor s replacement, Mohammad Daoud, also from Jamiat, said he would not take up the position until the situation had been resolved. I want to stay out of it for now, he told Reuters. The standoff adds to an already clouded political climate in Afghanistan, where the United States has announced a stepped-up military effort to break a stalemate with the Taliban and force a settlement to 16 years of conflict. Long-delayed parliamentary elections, officially scheduled for next year, are now in doubt and an array of political leaders both inside and outside the government are positioning themselves ahead of a presidential election in 2019. Ghani s government retains strong international backing but has faced increasing pressure from opposition groups and debilitating tension within its ranks between allies of Ghani and government Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah, a senior Jamiat leader. However, Jamiat is itself divided and it remains unclear what approach will be taken by Abdullah, who was Ghani s rival in 2014 before taking the specially created post of chief executive in a U.S.-brokered power-sharing deal. Abdullah, who has regularly clashed with Atta Noor, has made no public comment on his dismissal. The move to oust Atta Noor, one of a group of powerful regional strongmen, followed calls from politicians including former President Hamid Karzai for a loya jirga, or grand assembly of elders and political leaders to discuss the future of the government. This month, Atta Noor was prevented from attending a meeting in the southern city of Khandahar to discuss the loya jirga proposal. As the political uncertainty has deepened, tension between Pashtuns and ethnic Tajiks, Afghanistan s two largest ethnic groups, as well as others including ethnic Uzbeks and the mainly Shi ite Hazara minority, have worsened. Many in Jamiat, a mainly northern, ethnic Tajik party, see Ghani as a Pashtun nationalist bent on concentrating power in his own office while Jamiat s own opponents see the party as a base for old-style warlords who undermine national unity. worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Bosnian pensioners stage street protests for pension riseSARAJEVO (Reuters) - Thousands of pensioners from across Bosnia s Bosniak-Croat Federation, most of whom live on the edge of poverty, took to the streets in Sarajevo on Wednesday to protest for a rise in pensions and better social and health care. Out of about 410,000 pensioners living in the Bosnian region, nearly two-thirds live on minimum payments of 326 Bosnian marka ($196) a month, while the average pension amounts to 370 marka compared to an average wage of 870 marka. With five pensioners to every six employed people in the Bosnian region, the government, which has yet to come up with an overall reform plan for the pension system, is struggling to make payments on time. Some pension fund officials say the system survives on low pensions, which are the lowest in the Balkans. The pensioners, some carrying placards reading Stop the Robbery and Give Us back Our Dignity , called for a 10 percent rise in payments which have not been increased since 2014. Pensions are low, medicines expensive and we have to pay electricity, water, telephone, said Alosman Halic from the northern town of Lukavac, who has worked for 45 years and receives 326 marka pension. After we pay our bills, there is nothing left for us, says his wife Isura, adding they could not survive without help from their children. Youth unemployment is high at more than 60 percent, scores of young people having left the Balkan country which was left impoverished by the 1992-95 war and is riven by political and ethnic divisions. On Tuesday, the Federation government adopted a new draft pension law, envisaging a 10 percent rise of pensions for some categories and five percent increase for other categories. The law now needs to be approved by the region s parliament, where the passage of laws is often blocked over political bickering. The situation is also grave in the Serb Republic, Bosnia s other autonomous region, where the level of employed is almost equal with that of retired people. Earlier this month, the government there decided to raise the minimum pension to 360 marka. worldnews | 1 | bosnia pensioners stage street protests pension risesarajevo reuters thousands pensioners across bosnia federation live edge poverty took streets sarajevo wednesday protest rise pensions better social health care out pensioners living bosnia region nearly live minimum payments bosnia mark month average pension amounts mark compared average wage mark with five pensioners every six employed people bosnia region government yet come overall reform plan pension system struggling make payments time some pension fund officials say system survives low pensions lowest balkan the pensioners carrying placards reading stop robbery give us back our dignity called percent rise payments increased since pensions low medicines expensive pay electricity water telephone said salesman holic northern town lukavac worked years receives mark pension after pay bills nothing left us says wife sure adding could survive without help children youth unemployment high percent scores young people left balkan country left impoverished war given political ethnic divisions on tuesday federation government adopted new draft pension law envisaging percent rise pensions categories five percent increase categories the law needs approved region parliament passage laws often blocked political bickering the situation also grave verb republic bosnia autonomous region level employed almost equal retired people earlier month government decided raise minimum pension mark worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Republican 2016 platform calls for reinstating 1933 banking lawCLEVELAND (Reuters) - The U.S. Republican Party on Monday approved a new policy platform that calls for reinstating the 1933 Glass-Steagall law requiring the separation of commercial and investment banking, an addition White House hopeful Donald Trump’s campaign said it backed. Trump, who will formally accept the Republican presidential nomination in Cleveland this week, has vowed to dismantle most of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform law that was passed under President Barack Obama following the 2007-2009 financial crisis. The language in the Republican platform offered further details on Trump’s regulatory policies. Trump, who has sought to cast himself as a populist, has accused presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton of being too close to Wall Street. Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, signed the legislation that repealed Glass-Steagall in 1999. “The Obama-Clinton years have passed legislation that has been favorable to the big banks, which is why you see all the Wall Street money going to her,” Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager, told reporters on Monday. “They know she’s their champion, and they are supporting her fully.” Some U.S. lawmakers in both parties support a modern Glass-Steagall to keep banks from becoming “too big to fail,” or so big their collapse would destabilize the financial system. The Democratic Party’s 2016 platform, which has not been approved, calls for an updated version. Republicans universally despise Dodd-Frank, which their platform calls “Democrats’ legislative Godzilla.” But senior congressional Republicans back other alternatives. “Glass-Steagall is dumb politics and dumb economics,” said Tony Fratto, who worked in the administration of Republican President George W. Bush. “Returning to Glass-Steagall would be destructive and unworkable.” Clinton has said she would break up banks based on risk, not size, and frequently focuses on the risks posed by non-bank institutions. Manafort listed the Glass-Steagall language among platform points he said “reflect the issues that Mr. Trump has raised during the course of the campaign,” including building a wall at the border with Mexico and calling for tougher trade deals. The platform also calls for control of national parks and other lands to be handed over to states, an effort by the party’s conservative wing that got national attention during a 2014 standoff involving a Nevada cattle rancher. politicsNews | 1 | republican platform calls reinstating banking lawcleveland reuters the republican party monday approved new policy platform calls reinstating law requiring separation commercial investment banking addition white house hopeful donald trump campaign said backed trump formally accept republican presidential nomination cleveland week vowed dismantle wall street reform law passed president barack obama following financial crisis the language republican platform offered details trump regulatory policies trump sought cast populist accused presumptive democratic presidential nominee hillary clinton close wall street her husband former president bill clinton signed legislation repealed the years passed legislation favorable big banks see wall street money going paul manafort trump campaign manager told reporters monday they know champion supporting some lawmakers parties support modern keep banks becoming big fail big collapse would stabilize financial system the democratic party platform approved calls updated version republicans universally despise platform calls democrats legislative but senior congressional republicans back alternatives dumb politics dumb economics said tony ratio worked administration republican president george bush returning would destructive clinton said would break banks based risk size frequently focuses risks posed institutions manafort listed language among platform points said reflect issues trump raised course campaign including building wall border mexico calling tougher trade deals the platform also calls control national parks lands handed states effort party conservative wing got national attention standoff involving nevada cattle rancher politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Trump In For TREMENDOUS Shock If He Thinks He Can Just Refuse To Accept Election Night LossTrump has been very clear for the last week or so he will not accept the results of Election Night if he s not the winner. He even said at a rally in Ohio: I would like to promise and pledge, to all of my voters and supporters and to all of the people of the United States, that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election if I win. He also told Chris Wallace, the moderator of the final presidential debate, that he will keep us all in suspense until Election Night is over. And he s made noises about contesting the results if Hillary wins, presumably because there s no way Crooked Hillary could win in his world.He s in for a shocker, though. Election law doesn t really allow a candidate to just contest election results because he s butthurt over losing. We have 43 states that allow losing candidates to call for recounts, and half of those have trigger margins, where a recount is automatically triggered when the vote is within those margins.They re typically very narrow, though. If Trump is hoping that automatic recounts will be triggered in some of the battleground states, he will probably be badly disappointed. If he thinks he can just say, I don t like the results in that state, please recount, because he thinks that s what Al Gore did in 2000, he s got another think coming. Despite that, he s actually said: If Al Gore and George Bush had agreed three weeks before the election to concede the results and waive their right to a legal challenge or a recount, then there would be no Supreme Court case. I m being asked to waive centuries of legal precedent designed to protect the voters. The truth there is that Florida s results were so close that their automatic recount was triggered. That, in turn, led to the longest, most annoying dramatic presidential election imaginable.Electoral votes are sent on to the Senate for certification in early January, and then the Senate President, who s actually Joe Biden, signs off. It s not likely that very many in Congress will want to help draw out Trump s drama if the election s results are clear in their view (which very well could be different from clear in Trump s view).Trump has taken a ton of flak for his cries of RIGGED! and for his statements that he might not accept the results if he loses. That could be true even if he loses bigly, despite his claims of being willing to accept a clear result. He ll no doubt make noises about sending investigators to all the battleground states that went to Hillary to check for the widespread fraud he ll be sure gave her the win. He won t concede, which many don t like. Even Sen. John McCain, who lost to Obama in 2008 and had to swallow that loss and give a concession speech, says: I had a duty to concede, and I did so without reluctance. A concession isn t just an exercise in graciousness. It is an act of respect for the will of the American people, a respect that is every American leader s first responsibility. Trump isn t a leader, though. He s a narcissistic toddler who plans on screaming and crying and stomping his feet in front of all of America on Nov. 8 if he loses. He ll have so much fun watching Paul Ryan, possibly alongside Mitch McConnell, give his concession speech for him.Featured image by Mark Makela via Getty ImagesNews | 0 | trump in for tremendous shock if he thinks he can just refuse to accept election night losstrump clear last week accept results election night winner he even said rally ohio i would like promise pledge voters supporters people united states i totally accept results great historic presidential election i win he also told chris wallace moderator final presidential debate keep us suspense election night and made noises contesting results hillary wins presumably way crooked hillary could win shocked though election law really allow candidate contest election results butthurt losing we states allow losing candidates call recounts half trigger margins recount automatically triggered vote within typically narrow though if trump hoping automatic recounts triggered battleground states probably badly disappointed if thinks say i like results state please recount thinks al gore got another think coming despite actually said if al gore george bush agreed three weeks election concede results waive right legal challenge recount would supreme court case i asked waive centuries legal precedent designed protect voters the truth florida results close automatic recount triggered that turn led longest annoying dramatic presidential election votes sent senate certification early january senate president actually joe biden signs it likely many congress want help draw trump drama election results clear view well could different clear trump view taken ton flak cries rigged statements might accept results loses that could true even loses billy despite claims willing accept clear result he doubt make noises sending investigators battleground states went hillary check widespread fraud sure gave win he concede many like even john mccain lost obama swallow loss give concession speech says i duty concede i without reluctance a concession exercise graciousness it act respect american people respect every american leader first responsibility trump leader though he narcissistic toddler plans screaming crying stopping feet front america loses he much fun watching paul ryan possibly alongside mitch mcconnell give concession speech image mark make via petty imagenes | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

What Trump Just Said About Transgender People Will Make Republicans FURIOUS (VIDEO)Donald Trump delivered a major f*ck you to his fellow conservatives when he spoke out against North Carolina s controversial and transphobic bathroom bill and said he would be perfectly fine with transgender people using whatever bathroom they wanted to.Trump made these surprising comments during Thursday s NBC Today town hall as host Willie Geist asked the Republican frontrunner questions from Twitter users. Geist asked Trump, Mr. Trump, please be specific. Tell us your views on LGBT, how you plan to be inclusive as president. Speak about North Carolina bathroom law in particular. Inclusivity is something Trump has completely strayed away from during his campaign, and he s managed to successfully insult and exclude nearly every minority possible. But this time, Trump s answer surprised everyone. Stating that North Carolina s bathroom law had caused a lot of problems, he said: North Carolina did something that was very strong, and they are paying a big price and there s a lot of problems. North Carolina, what they are going through with all of the business that s leaving and the strife and that s on both sides. Leave it the way it is. There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate, there has been so little trouble. This is one of the VERY few times that Trump is mostly right. There have not only been few complaints there have actually been ZERO instances of sexual assaults or other issues when transgender individuals were allowed to use the restroom that corresponds to their gender identity. Still, that was one of the main arguments that North Carolina Republicans were using to get this bathroom bill passed.When Geist asked Trump if he had employed transgender individuals at his company, Trump replied that he wasn t certain, but he probably had transgender people working for him. Geist pressed him further: So if Caitlyn Jenner were to walk into Trump Tower and want to use the bathroom, you d be fine with her using any bathroom she chooses? And Trump stuck it to the GOP one last time: That is correct. Also speaking against the creation of new bathrooms specifically for transgender people, Trump said it would be too expensive, and that I think that would be discriminatory in a certain way. You can watch the interview below:Trump has previously held more liberal views than conservative, and he loves to stir up controversy whenever he can. One thing is for sure the GOP is NOT going to appreciate this.Featured image via Eduardo Munoz Alvarez / Getty ImagesNews | 0 | what trump just said about transgender people will make republicans furious video donald trump delivered major f ck fellow conservatives spoke north carolina controversial transphobic bathroom bill said would perfectly fine transgender people using whatever bathroom wanted made surprising comments thursday nbc today town hall host willie heist asked republican frontrunner questions twitter users heist asked trump trump please specific tell us views lgbt plan inclusive president speak north carolina bathroom law particular exclusivity something trump completely stayed away campaign managed successfully insult exclude nearly every minority possible but time trump answer surprised everyone stating north carolina bathroom law caused lot problems said north carolina something strong paying big price lot problems north carolina going business leaving strife sides leave way there complaints way people go use bathroom feel appropriate little trouble this one very times trump mostly right there complaints actually zero instances sexual assaults issues transgender individuals allowed use restroom corresponds gender identity still one main arguments north carolina republicans using get bathroom bill heist asked trump employed transgender individuals company trump replied certain probably transgender people working heist pressed so caitlyn jenner walk trump tower want use bathroom fine using bathroom chooses and trump stuck gop one last time that correct also speaking creation new bathrooms specifically transgender people trump said would expensive i think would discriminatory certain way you watch interview trump previously held liberal views conservative loves stir controversy whenever one thing sure gop not going appreciate image via eduardo minor alvarez petty imagenes | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

BREAKING: Republican House Intel Chair THREATENS The Press After Asking About Russia (VIDEO)There is something going on right now within our government that is very, very concerning. With evidence stacking up against Donald Trump and his administration regarding connections to Russia, the Republican party seems to be defending him. Part of that defense seems to be a direct threat agains the press for having the audacity to use their First Amendment right to hold the *president accountable and tell the whole story.During a press conference with House Intelligence Chair Devin Nunes (R-CA), instead of answering questions about Russia, he turned the questions on their head and told the press that if they are found trying to seek answers from the Russian embassy that they will be the ones investigated.In an effort to deflect, Nunes said: I m sure some of you are in contact with the Russian embassy, so be careful what you ask for here, because if we start getting transcripts of any of you or other Americans talking to the press do you want us to conduct an investigation on you or other Americans because you were talking to the Russian embassy. I just think we need to be careful. What the hell is happening? The press will be investigated for trying to report the story? How about investigate Donald Trump and his administration. How about hold him accountable for his many actions. How about demanding to see his tax returns so we can see his financial ties for the safety and security of the nation. How about instead of threatening reporters, you put party politics aside and work for the American people as you were elected to do.Wow.

Former George W. Bush Attorney Jumps Ship From The Sinking Republican PartyYet another Republican is leaving the party in protest of Donald Trump.Donald Trump is doing more to destroy the Republican Party from within than Democrats have ever done simply by being the sane party of the two.Ever since it became clear that Trump would be the Republican nominee several Republicans have left the party in disgust. The most prominent member of the exodus thus far has been conservative columnist George Will, who has loathed Trump for months before finally cutting ties with the party he had been a part of for many years.Just last week, a Texas Republican who had been with the party for his whole life resigned with an epic letter to the local party chair in his district, refusing to be one of the good Nazis. On Monday, a Utah Republican state senator also called it quits with the party.And now a former US Attorney appointed by George W. Bush just told the Republican Party to go f*ck themselves via Facebook.In the now-deleted post, Marcos Daniel Jimenez wrote that he can t stand being in the party of hate any longer. This has not been easy to write, and I ve thought a lot about it. God has blessed me and my family beyond our dreams. I ve had the privilege and honor to see my brother work for Governor Jeb Bush, to be appointed to a Senate-confirmed office by President George W. Bush, and see my brother also appointed to a Senate-confirmed office by the same president. But I have decided that I will no longer be associated in any way with a party that is led by a bigoted, dangerous demagogue and that has become a party dominated by fear, anger and hate. Republicans should make no mistake about this. You now clearly belong to the party of hate you are supporting a strongman who believes all of that.

Meet The CA Sheriff Who Won’t Be Bullied By Obama And Illegal Immigrant Activists Who Believe The Laws Don’t Apply To Lawbreakers If you have a system that rewards you for being a victim, it s subject to abuse. Sheriff Donny YoungbloodThat kind of stance has won him enemies in California s immigrant-rights movement and frequent comparisons to Joe Arpaio, the brash Arizona sheriff notorious for his workplace raids and ID checks.Youngblood, 64, said he isn t trying to make headlines. The Vietnam War veteran, who grew up working in the potato sheds around Bakersfield, said he s happier hiking or riding his quarter horse, Sparky.He lives in the same modest suburban neighborhood where he grew up, on Bakersfield s now heavily Latino Eastside, and bristles at accusations that his policies encourage racial profiling, pointing out that a third of his deputies are Latino.As he drove through town on a recent morning, past oil derricks, gated golf courses and strip malls lined with Mexican restaurants and carnicerias, Youngblood outlined his philosophy on immigration.The federal government should start enforcing immigration laws or write new ones, he said. He criticized President Obama s new deportation policies, which say most immigrants who have not committed serious crimes and have fewer than three minor crimes on their records should not be priorities for removal. You re in this country illegally and we re going to give you three bites of the apple? That s three victims! Youngblood said. If you commit crimes, you oughta go. Youngblood s defiant views have made him a rare voice of dissent in what has become the nation s most welcoming state for people in the country illegally.At a time when the Democrat-controlled Legislature has moved to allow such immigrants to drive, practice law and pay in-state college tuition passing 26 immigrant-friendly laws last year alone, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures Youngblood is an outlier.He has largely refused to sign paperwork that immigrant crime victims need to apply for U visas, which allow some victims to stay in the country lawfully. As president of the Major County Sheriffs Assn., a national advocacy group, he has asked Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to share data with police so patrol officers can determine whether the person they stop may be in the country illegally.Youngblood said his department began following the Trust Act last year on the advice of county attorneys. But he said he reserves the right to violate it. If ICE calls me and says, You have someone there who has committed this heinous crime, and we really need you to hold them, I m probably going to hold them, he said.Youngblood s approach has been celebrated by those who believe, as he does, that Obama has been too lax on immigration enforcement.And it has made him the target of activists who accuse him of setting his own immigration policy and of sowing fear among the estimated 66,000 immigrants in this rural county illegally. People are scared, said Lorena Lara, an immigrant who was brought to the country illegally by her farmworker father and who now works for a community organizing group called Faith in Action Kern County. They re afraid to call the police because they think they might be deported. Immigrant advocates have been pushing for more protections and political representation in the Central Valley since Cesar Chavez launched the modern immigrant-rights movement in the grape fields here half a century ago. In recent years, Kern County has been the scene of tense standoffs between protesters on opposing sides of the immigration debate, including a well-publicized shouting match outside the Bakersfield office of Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy in 2013.The majority of Kern County residents are Latino, but it wasn t until the 1990s that a Latino was elected to the Bakersfield City Council or the Kern County Board of Supervisors. (Political scientists point out that Latinos make up only about a third of registered voters and tend to turn out for elections at much lower rates than their white counterparts.)Youngblood says his views are in line with the conservative voters who have put him in office three times since 2006. Their ideas about immigration and government couldn t be more different than the electorate in Los Angeles, he added, even though Kern borders Los Angeles County. We are right-of-the-center on things, he said. I always say Kern is a county that ought to be in Arizona. Not far from Youngblood s home, Jose and his wife live in a run-down gray bungalow. There s a large portrait of the Virgin of Guadalupe in the living room and a dirt yard out front. On a recent evening, as the couple cleaned up after a long day in the fields, a locomotive screeched on nearby tracks.The couple came here from Mexico nine years ago to find work. Jose, who didn t want to give his full name because he said he fears retaliation from the sheriff, now earns $9 an hour picking almonds and oranges. He made $9 a day as a bus driver back home.Jose said that in 2013 he and his wife were attacked by armed robbers while they slept. The thieves stole everything of value and beat Jose for an hour, shattering his ribs.Organizers with the United Farm Workers encouraged Jose to apply for a U visa, saying he had a slam-dunk case. The crime was sufficiently severe, they said, and he had cooperated with the sheriff s deputies who responded to the 911 call.To apply for the visa, immigrants must present a declaration from the law enforcement agency that investigated the crime saying that they were or will be helpful.The Bakersfield Police Department, like most agencies in the nation, has a policy of signing all U visa declarations. Youngblood doesn t.Out of 160 requests between 2012 and 2014, he signed just four, according to Sheriff s Department records. I think he has something personal against Latinos, said Jose, who prays that Youngblood will find it in his heart to reconsider. We are at his mercy, he said.Youngblood said he hasn t signed most declarations because he doesn t believe in the premise of the law. If you have a system that rewards you for being a victim, it s subject to abuse, he said.The sheriff s stance has won him supporters, such as Ellen Fluhart, 70, a retired rancher who lives in the northeastern part of the county. She said Youngblood s decision not to sign U visa petitions is his prerogative. Fluhart said Youngblood s views are refreshing in a state where politicians have passed bills that she says encourage unlawful immigration. They broke the law, Fluhart said. They shouldn t be rewarded. Tensions between law enforcement and immigrant laborers in this community go back decades, said Gonzalo Santos, a sociologist at Cal State Bakersfield. In the 1930s, sheriff s officials deputized farm owners so they could use their badges to shut down labor protests, Santos said. Some farmworkers were killed.Now the department is intervening in immigration matters, said Santos, who called Youngblood a rogue sheriff. Youngblood argues that Brown and the Legislature were interfering when they passed the Trust Act. Conflicting state and federal mandates put sheriffs like him in the crosshairs, he said. It s unfair, because the law is so unclear, Youngblood said. Really what we re looking for is clear law, clear direction.

DEAD BROKE HILLARY Was Gifted $32 Million From A Muslim Prince For What?Thanks to Judicial Watch for exposing the Clinton Grifters for who they REALLY are con artists! Hillary wouldn t see the prince via regular channels but once he donated the money she met with him!Newly released Department of State documents reveal that the Crown Prince of Bahrain was given an audience with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after he donated $32 million to her foundation.The documents, released Monday by Judicial Watch, included emails between Clinton Foundation executive Doug Band and former Clinton State Department aide Huma Abedin, which appear to show that Abedin acted as a middleman between Clinton and her foundation s donors.Band and Abedin s email exchanges show that Bahrain s Crown Prince Salman had to go through the Clinton Foundation in order to set up a meeting with Clinton after the former Secretary of State declined to meet after official requests were made. The first email, dated June 23, 2009, shows Band interceding on behalf of the Crown Prince, noting he is a good friend of ours. Abedin replied that same day noting that Salman had asked to see Clinton through normal channels, but it appears Clinton was not interested. A later email, dated June 25, 2009, from Abedin to Band offers Salman a 10 A.M. meeting with Clinton. Abedin said she reached out [through] official channels to secure the meeting.Read more: Daily Callerpolitics | 0 | dead broke hillary was gifted million from a muslim prince for what thanks judicial watch exposing clinton writers really con artists hillary see prince via regular channels donated money met newly released department state documents reveal crown prince bahrain given audience state hillary clinton donated million documents released monday judicial watch included emails clinton foundation executive doug band former clinton state department aide human begin appear show begin acted middleton clinton foundation begin email exchanges show bahrain crown prince salman go clinton foundation order set meeting clinton former secretary state declined meet official requests made the first email dated june shows band intervening behalf crown prince noting good friend begin replied day noting salman asked see clinton normal channels appears clinton interested a later email dated june begin band offers salman meeting clinton begin said reached official channels secure daily callerpolitics | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Hillary wouldn t see the prince via regular channels but once he donated the money she met with him!Newly released Department of State documents reveal that the Crown Prince of Bahrain was given an audience with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after he donated $32 million to her foundation.The documents, released Monday by Judicial Watch, included emails between Clinton Foundation executive Doug Band and former Clinton State Department aide Huma Abedin, which appear to show that Abedin acted as a middleman between Clinton and her foundation s donors.Band and Abedin s email exchanges show that Bahrain s Crown Prince Salman had to go through the Clinton Foundation in order to set up a meeting with Clinton after the former Secretary of State declined to meet after official requests were made. The first email, dated June 23, 2009, shows Band interceding on behalf of the Crown Prince, noting he is a good friend of ours. Abedin replied that same day noting that Salman had asked to see Clinton through normal channels, but it appears Clinton was not interested. A later email, dated June 25, 2009, from Abedin to Band offers Salman a 10 A.M. meeting with Clinton. Abedin said she reached out [through] official channels to secure the meeting.Read more: Daily Callerpolitics | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Obama’s Response To 8-Year-Old Girl In Flint Should Give Us All Hope (VIDEO)Yesterday, an eight-year-old girl from Flint, Michigan got a response from President Barack Obama that she ll never forget.Mari Copeny, also known around her town as Little Miss Flint , had written to Obama about Flint s water crisis, which had been poisoned and contaminated with lead thanks to corruption and negligence by the state s Republican administration. In her message to the President, Copeny spoke up for many children growing up in Flint when she wrote: I am one of the children that is affected by this water, and I ve been doing my best to march in protest and to speak out for all the kids that live here in Flint. Copeny also mentioned that she would be in Washington, DC this week to watch the congressional hearings of our Governor Rick Snyder and wanted to meet the President and First Lady Michelle Obama despite the fact that My mom said chances are you will be too busy with more important things. Copeny was hopeful, but she didn t expect a prompt response from the busy commander-in-chief. Little did she know, her request was about to be fulfilled in a major way. Obama wrote back, and his response was nothing short of the amazing warm-heartedness that we ve come to expect from our President: Thank you for writing to me. You re right that Presidents are often busy, but the truth is, in America, there is no more important title than citizen. And I am so proud of you for using your voice to speak out on behalf of the children of Flint.That s why I want you to be the first to know that I m coming to visit Flint on May 4th. I want to make sure people like you and your family are receiving the help you need and deserve.Letters from kids like you are what make me so optimistic for the future. I hope to meet you next week, Little Miss Flint. The White House confirmed those plans in a statement that read, On Wednesday, May 4th, the President will travel to Flint, Michigan where he will hear first-hand from Flint residents like Mari about the public health crisis, receive an in-person briefing on the federal efforts in place to help respond to the needs of the people of Flint, and speak directly with members of the Flint community. Despite her young age, Copeny is a big activist in her community and frequently uses YouTube to raise awareness for the important issues the area is facing. To make sure that no one forgets that people in Flint are still depending on bottled water for their drinking, cooking and bathing needs, Copeny has created a video where she speaks about the hardships the community must endure. You can watch it below:Unfortunately, the polluted water in Flint will be life-altering and affect future generations to come. Not only will children have learning disabilities and behavioral issues, but the lead will be passed onto younger generations by women who are pregnant. Until every last lead pipe in Flint is replaced, this situation will not be resolved. We can only hope that the President s visit to Flint will push Congress to find a solution to this injustice.Featured image via Alex Wong/Getty Images and screenshotNews | 0 | obama response to girl in flint should give us all hope video yesterday girl flint michigan got response president barack obama never company also known around town little miss flint written obama flint water crisis poisoned contaminated lead thanks corruption negligence state republican administration in message president company spoke many children growing flint wrote i one children affected water i best march protest speak kids live flint company also mentioned would washington dc week watch congressional hearings governor rick snyder wanted meet president first lady michelle obama despite fact my mom said chances busy important things company hopeful expect prompt response busy little know request fulfilled major way obama wrote back response nothing short amazing come expect president thank writing you right presidents often busy truth america important title citizen and i proud using voice speak behalf children i want first know i coming visit flint may i want make sure people like family receiving help need kids like make optimistic future i hope meet next week little miss flint the white house confirmed plans statement read on wednesday may president travel flint michigan hear flint residents like mari public health crisis receive briefing federal efforts place help respond needs people flint speak directly members flint community despite young age company big activist community frequently uses youtube raise awareness important issues area facing to make sure one forgets people flint still depending bottled water drinking cooking bathing needs company created video speaks hardships community must endure you watch unfortunately polluted water flint affect future generations come not children learning disabilities behavioral issues lead passed onto younger generations women pregnant until every last lead pipe flint replaced situation resolved we hope president visit flint push congress find solution image via alex images screenshotnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

New York Times is Advocating for Internet Censorship (controlled by them and other ‘approved’ agents) The Times asserts that such censorship would be good for democracy and it surely is true that hoaxes and baseless conspiracy theories are no help to democracy but regulation of information in the manner that the Times suggests has more than a whiff of Orwellian totalitarianism to it. Robert Parry Consortium NewsIn its lead editorial on Sunday, The New York Times decried what it deemed The Digital Virus Called Fake News and called for Internet censorship to counter this alleged problem, taking particular aim at Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for letting liars and con artists hijack his platform. As this mainstream campaign against fake news quickly has gained momentum in the past week, two false items get cited repeatedly, a claim that Pope Francis endorsed Donald Trump and an assertion that Trump was prevailing in the popular vote over Hillary Clinton. I could add another election-related falsehood, a hoax spread by Trump supporters that liberal documentarian Michael Moore was endorsing Trump when he actually was backing Clinton.But I also know that Clinton supporters were privately pushing some salacious and unsubstantiated charges about Trump s sex life, and Clinton personally charged that Trump was under the control of Russian President Vladimir Putin although there was no evidence presented to support that McCarthyistic accusation.The simple reality is that lots of dubious accusations get flung around during the heat of a campaign nothing new there and it is always a challenge for professional journalists to swat them down the best we can. What s different now is that the Times envisions some structure (or algorithm) for eliminating what it calls fake news. Photograph published by the New York Times purportedly taken in Russia of Russian soldiers who later appeared in eastern Ukraine. However, the photographer has since stated that the photo was actually taken in Ukraine, and the U.S. State Department has acknowledged the error.But, with a stunning lack of self-awareness, the Times fails to acknowledge the many times that it has published fake news, such as reporting in 2002 that Iraq s purchase of aluminum tubes meant that it was reconstituting its nuclear weapons program; its bogus analysis tracing the firing location of a Syrian sarin-laden rocket in 2013 back to a Syrian military base that turned out to be four times outside the rocket s range; or its publication of photos supposedly showing Russian soldiers inside Russia and then inside Ukraine in 2014 when it turned out that the inside-Russia photo was also taken inside Ukraine, destroying the premise of the story.These are just three examples among many of the Times publishing fake news and all three appeared on Page One before being grudgingly or partially retracted, usually far inside the newspaper under opaque headlines so most readers wouldn t notice. Much of the Times fake news continued to reverberate in support of U.S. government propaganda even after the partial retractions.Who Is the Judge?So, should Zuckerberg prevent Facebook users from circulating New York Times stories? Obviously, the Times would not favor that solution to the problem of fake news. Instead, the Times expects to be one of the arbiters deciding which Internet outlets get banned and which ones get gold seals of approval.The Times lead editorial, following a front-page article on the same topic on Friday, leaves little doubt what the newspaper would like to see. It wants major Internet platforms and search engines, such as Facebook and Google, to close off access to sites accused of disseminating fake news. The editorial said, a big part of the responsibility for this scourge rests with internet companies like Facebook and Google, which have made it possible for fake news to be shared nearly instantly with millions of users and have been slow to block it from their sites. Facebook says it is working on weeding out such fabrications. It said last Monday that it would no longer place Facebook-powered ads on fake news websites, a move that could cost Facebook and those fake news sites a lucrative source of revenue. Earlier on the same day, Google said it would stop letting those sites use its ad placement network. These steps would help, but Facebook, in particular, owes its users, and democracy itself, far more. Facebook has demonstrated that it can effectively block content like click-bait articles and spam from its platform by tweaking its algorithms, which determine what links, photos and ads users see in their news feeds. Facebook managers are constantly changing and refining the algorithms, which means the system is malleable and subject to human judgment. The Times editorial continued: This summer, Facebook decided to show more posts from friends and family members in users news feeds and reduce stories from news organizations, because that s what it said users wanted. If it can do that, surely its programmers can train the software to spot bogus stories and outwit the people producing this garbage. Mr. Zuckerberg himself has spoken at length about how social media can help improve society. None of that will happen if he continues to let liars and con artists hijack his platform. Gray AreasBut the problem is that while some falsehoods may be obvious and clear-cut, much information exists in a gray area in which two or more sides may disagree on what the facts are. And the U.S. government doesn t always tell the truth although you would be hard-pressed to find recent examples of the Times recognizing that reality. Especially over the past several decades, the Times has usually embraced the Official Version of a disputed event and has deemed serious skepticism out of bounds.Former New York Times reporter Judith Miller, co-author of the Iraq aluminum tube story.That was the way the Times treated denials from the Iraqi government and some outside experts who disputed the aluminum tube story in 2002 and how the Times has brushed off disagreements regarding the U.S. government s portrayal of events in Syria, Ukraine and Russia. Increasingly, the Times has come across as a propaganda conduit for Official Washington rather than a professional journalistic entity.But the Times and other mainstream news outlets along with some favored Internet sites now sit on a Google-financed entity called the First Draft Coalition, which presents itself as a kind of Ministry of Truth that will decide which stories are true and which are fake. If the Times editorial recommendations are followed, the disfavored stories and the sites publishing them would no longer be accessible through popular search engines and platforms, essentially blocking the public s access to them.

Comey GOING PUBLIC With Russia/Trump Investigation After Pressure From CongressFBI Director James Comey could very likely be the reason we have a President Trump. Just shy of two weeks prior to the 2016 election, Comey sent a letter to Congress that essentially said that his investigation into then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton s private email server could potentially be re-opened. Despite his open condemnation of Hillary s activities, Comey kept mum on the investigations the much more SERIOUS inquires on the other side, which would be those into the possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign into the election s eventual outcome.Well, all of that is now coming to a head. Trump s team has been repeatedly caught being linked to Russia and lying about it. His national security adviser, Michael Flynn, was forced to resign for his lies to Mike Pence about his Russia ties, and has since registered with the United States government as a foreign agent. It has also been found that the newly confirmed Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, has been forced to recuse himself from any Russia-Trump investigations due to his lying to Senator Al Franken during his confirmation hearings regarding his own conversations with the Ambassador to Russia.Now, it seems that there is a firm way to bring this to an end. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) seem to have had a meeting with FBI Director Comey on March 2. According to Whitehouse, during that meeting, Comey promised him and his GOP counterpart that they would have the answer we ve all been waiting for by this coming Wednesday which is whether or not the Federal Bureau of Investigation is actively probing the activities of the Trump campaign with regards to Russia and the 2016 election.Whitehouse says that not only will Comey tell them whether or not he and his agency are investigating Trump s Russia ties, but he will also go into the scope of their Russia/Trump investigation because he had not been able to at that point say that there was one.

TEXT: Comey GOING PUBLIC With Russia/Trump Investigation After Pressure From CongressFBI Director James Comey could very likely be the reason we have a President Trump. Just shy of two weeks prior to the 2016 election, Comey sent a letter to Congress that essentially said that his investigation into then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton s private email server could potentially be re-opened. Despite his open condemnation of Hillary s activities, Comey kept mum on the investigations the much more SERIOUS inquires on the other side, which would be those into the possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign into the election s eventual outcome.Well, all of that is now coming to a head. Trump s team has been repeatedly caught being linked to Russia and lying about it. His national security adviser, Michael Flynn, was forced to resign for his lies to Mike Pence about his Russia ties, and has since registered with the United States government as a foreign agent. It has also been found that the newly confirmed Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, has been forced to recuse himself from any Russia-Trump investigations due to his lying to Senator Al Franken during his confirmation hearings regarding his own conversations with the Ambassador to Russia.Now, it seems that there is a firm way to bring this to an end. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) seem to have had a meeting with FBI Director Comey on March 2. According to Whitehouse, during that meeting, Comey promised him and his GOP counterpart that they would have the answer we ve all been waiting for by this coming Wednesday which is whether or not the Federal Bureau of Investigation is actively probing the activities of the Trump campaign with regards to Russia and the 2016 election.Whitehouse says that not only will Comey tell them whether or not he and his agency are investigating Trump s Russia ties, but he will also go into the scope of their Russia/Trump investigation because he had not been able to at that point say that there was one. Well, this should definitely be interesting. After all, Comey was more than willing to throw the election to Trump by screwing Hillary Clinton with nonsense that amounted to nothing, while Vladimir Putin installed a Russian agent and his cronies as head of the United States government.

Jack Lew urges Senate to act on Puerto Rico debtWASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Monday called on the Senate to take immediate action this week to address Puerto Rico’s $70 billion debt crisis before the critical July 1 deadline for the island territory’s next debt payments. “The Senate should take up the matter immediately,” Lew said in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. “Delay will only jeopardize the ability of Congress to conclude its work before July 1, a critical deadline Puerto Rico’s leadership has publicly highlighted for months.” If no action is taken, the crisis there will only ratchet higher, he said in the letter. Puerto Rico faces a deadline on Friday to pay off $2 billion of its debts. Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma, chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said later in a floor speech that the vote would take place on Wednesday. “I really do think that we can go ahead and support the bill,” he said. A senior Republican aide could not confirm that a vote would take place on Wednesday. The financially ailing island is staring down $70 billion worth of debt that it says it cannot repay in full, adding to its 45 percent poverty rate and rising emigration to the U.S. mainland that is also cutting into its economic growth. The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives already passed legislation to address Puerto Rico’s debt before leaving Washington for the July 4 holiday break. The Senate is expected to recess at the end of this week. The House bill, a rare piece of bipartisan legislation, would establish a federal oversight board to negotiate various debt restructurings while seeking to institute balanced budgets on the island, a U.S. territory with 3.5 million residents. Lew called on senators to also pass the House measure - the “Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act,” or PROMESA - this week to get it to President Barack Obama to sign into law before Friday’s payment deadline. The Senate, also controlled by Republicans, is expected to debate the measure this week, but Democrats have said they want changes - a move that could complicate its passage.

Israel pushes on with law seen protecting PM under criminal probeJERUSALEM (Reuters) - The Israeli parliament voted on Monday in favor of a draft law barring police from publicizing its conclusions in criminal probes legislation seen as shielding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is under investigation for corruption. The draft must still pass two more parliamentary votes. But if written into law, police would not be allowed to say whether they have found sufficient grounds to charge Netanyahu, keeping the Israeli public in the dark until the attorney-general determines whether the prime minister is to be prosecuted. The draft law also proposes a one-year jail term for officials who leak findings to the press. Its two sponsors, confidants of Netanyahu, said the law is meant to protect suspects rights and reputation, while the opposition derided it as a blatant attempt to protect Netanyahu and withhold knowledge from the public about his investigations. The public doesn t need to know everything. The public will find out at the end, Netanyahu s coalition head, David Bitan told the Knesset television channel. Netanyahu has said he has no interest in promoting personal legislation but he has not ordered Bitan and his co-sponsor of the bill, David Amsalem, to withdraw the legislation. Netanyahu is a suspect in two cases, one into alleged meddling in the media industry and the other into gifts he received from rich businessmen. He denies any wrongdoing. But, if charged, he would come under heavy pressure to resign or could call an election to test whether he still had a mandate. This is a Netanyahu law, said Yair Lapid, leader of the opposition party Yesh Atid, which latest polls show as neck in neck with Netanyahu s Likud. It is tailored for very few people. The only people to benefit from it are politicians, mafia heads and politicians who behave like mafia heads. All four prime ministers of the past two decades have been suspects in police investigations, but only Ehud Olmert was charged and convicted. He spent 16 months in jail for accepting bribes from real estate developers. In high-profile cases such as these, police usually say if they have gathered sufficient evidence against the suspects, before handing over to the Justice Ministry, where the Attorney-General and prosecutors decide whether to file charges. The attorney-general has expressed alarm about the proposed legislation. [L8N1NK5EK] The two investigations in which Netanyahu is a suspect are known as Case 1000 and Case 2000. Case 1000 revolves around gifts he received from businessmen, including cigars and champagne. Netanyahu s lawyers say they were simply presents from long-time friends, with no quid pro quo. Case 2000 focuses on suspicions Netanyahu negotiated with the publisher of Israel s best-selling newspaper for better coverage in return for curbs on the competition. The prime minister s lawyers say Netanyahu never seriously considered any such deal. Netanyahu has described himself as a victim of a political witch hunt and said of the cases against him: There will be nothing because there is nothing. worldnews | 1 | israel pushes law seen protecting pm criminal probejerusalem reuters the israeli parliament voted monday favor draft law barring police publicizing conclusions criminal probes legislation seen shielding prime minister benjamin netanyahu investigation corruption the draft must still pass two parliamentary votes but written law police would allowed say whether found sufficient grounds charge netanyahu keeping israeli public dark determines whether prime minister prosecuted the draft law also proposes jail term officials leak findings press its two sponsors confidant netanyahu said law meant protect suspects rights reputation opposition derided blatant attempt protect netanyahu withhold knowledge public investigations the public need know everything the public find end netanyahu coalition head david titan told knesset television channel netanyahu said interest promoting personal legislation ordered titan bill david salem withdraw legislation netanyahu suspect two cases one alleged meddling media industry gifts received rich businessmen he denies wrongdoing but charged would come heavy pressure resign could call election test whether still mandate this netanyahu law said air laid leader opposition party yes aid latest polls show neck neck netanyahu liked it tailored people the people benefit politicians mafia heads politicians behave like mafia heads all four prime ministers past two decades suspects police investigations had older charged convicted he spent months jail accepting bribes real estate developers in cases police usually say gathered sufficient evidence suspects handing justice ministry prosecutors decide whether file charges the expressed alarm proposed legislation the two investigations netanyahu suspect known case case case revolves around gifts received businessmen including cigars champagne netanyahu lawyers say simply presents friends uid pro quo case focuses suspicions netanyahu negotiated publisher israel newspaper better coverage return curb competition the prime minister lawyers say netanyahu never seriously considered deal netanyahu described victim political witch hunt said cases there nothing nothing worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Trump aides attack agency that will analyze health bill's costsWASHINGTON (Reuters) - Aides to U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday attacked the credibility of the nonpartisan agency that will analyze the costs of a replacement for Obamacare, as the White House sought to quell opposition from many conservative Republicans. The Congressional Budget Office, which provides official estimates of the budget impact of proposed legislation, is expected to issue a report as soon as Monday that will assess the healthcare legislation put forward by Republican House of Representatives leaders. The report could influence sentiment toward a bill already under fire from Democrats and some Republicans, especially if it suggests the legislation would reduce the number of Americans with health coverage or worsen U.S. budget deficits. Republicans have long opposed Obamacare, formally called the Affordable Care Act, on the grounds it was government overreach and led to higher insurance premiums. The 2010 law, Democratic President Barack Obama’s signature legislation, provided 20 million previously uninsured Americans with health coverage. Trump has called Obamacare a “disaster” and made its repeal and replacement a key campaign pledge. Several Republican lawmakers said on Sunday the replacement bill was unacceptable in its current form, including conservative Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, who said the plan could not pass the Senate and could put the Republican House majority at risk in 2018 congressional elections. “I believe it would have adverse consequences for millions of Americans and it wouldn’t deliver on our promises to reduce the cost of health insurance for Americans,” Cotton said. In a series of television interviews, White House budget director Mick Mulvaney and top White House economic adviser Gary Cohn said the CBO was focusing on the wrong metrics with the estimates it will provide on the number of people who are insured. Cohn and Mulvaney said the CBO should instead should analyze whether patients can actually afford to go to a doctor. “I love the folks at the CBO, they work really hard, they do, but sometimes we ask them to do stuff they’re not capable of doing, and estimating the impact of a bill of this size probably isn’t the - isn’t the best use of their time,” Mulvaney told ABC’s “This Week” program. Speaking on Fox News, Gary Cohn, director of the White House National Economic Council, said: “We will see what the score is, in fact in the past, the CBO score has really been meaningless.” “They’ve said that many more people will be insured than are actually insured. But when we get the CBO score, we’ll deal with that,” Cohn said. The Trump administration’s criticisms of the CBO are unusual. Prior administrations, both Republican and Democratic, steered clear of attacking the credibility of the agency, which many lawmakers regard as a neutral arbiter. The CBO’s current director, Keith Hall, was appointed by Republicans in 2015. The credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s has estimated 6 million to 10 million people could lose health insurance coverage under the Republican plan. Senator Bernie Sanders, who ran for president in 2016 as a Democrat, said it was “cowardly” for Republicans to proceed with a healthcare bill without CBO estimates, telling CBS’ Face the Nation show: “This is a disgrace.” In recent weeks, Trump administration officials and Republican lawmakers have criticized what they said were overly optimistic estimates from the CBO of the number of Americans who would sign up for health insurance on government-run exchanges. The CBO estimated in 2013 that 22 million people would be purchasing insurance through the exchanges in 2016. Only 10.4 million were signed up for those plans by the middle of last year, according to Department of Health and Human Services data. The House Republican legislation would scrap tax penalties for Americans without health insurance, roll back an expansion of Medicaid insurance for the poor, and replace Obamacare’s income-based subsidies with a system of fixed tax credits to help people buy private insurance on the open market. Cohn also disputed the notion that millions of people on Medicaid would become uninsured as Obamacare’s expansion of the program is rolled back over a period of years. He said many of these people would be transitioned into new private and employer-sponsored plans that would become more affordable under the Republican plan. House Speaker Paul Ryan, the Republican plan’s top backer in Congress, said he was “certain” the CBO would show a reduction in the number of Americans with coverage. “You know why? Because this isn’t a government mandate,” Ryan told NBC’s Meet the Press. Conservative Republicans said, however, they could not support the plan without significant changes. Republican Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio, a founder of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, said it did not go far enough to meet Republicans’ promise to kill Obamacare. “We told them we were going to replace it with something that would bring down the cost of insurance. That’s what we told them,” Jordan told Fox News Sunday. “This legislation that the speaker’s brought forward doesn’t do that.” politicsNews | 1 | trump aides attack agency analyze health bill costswashington reuters aides president donald trump sunday attacked credibility nonpartisan agency analyze costs replacement obamacare white house sought quell opposition many conservative republicans the congressional budget office provides official estimates budget impact proposed legislation expected issue report soon monday assess healthcare legislation put forward republican house representatives leaders the report could influence sentiment toward bill already fire democrats republicans especially suggests legislation would reduce number americans health coverage worsen budget deficits republicans long opposed obamacare formally called affordable care act grounds government overreach led higher insurance premiums the law democratic president barack obama signature legislation provided million previously uninsured americans health coverage trump called obamacare disaster made repeal replacement key campaign pledge several republican lawmakers said sunday replacement bill unacceptable current form including conservative senator tom cotton arkansas said plan could pass senate could put republican house majority risk congressional elections i believe would adverse consequences millions americans deliver promises reduce cost health insurance americans cotton said in series television interviews white house budget director mick mulvaney top white house economic adviser gary con said cbo focusing wrong metrics estimates provide number people insured con mulvaney said cbo instead analyze whether patients actually afford go doctor i love folks cbo work really hard sometimes ask stuff capable estimating impact bill size probably best use time mulvaney told abc this week program speaking fox news gary con director white house national economic council said we see score fact past cbo score really they said many people insured actually insured but get cbo score deal con said the trump administration criticisms cbo unusual prior administrations republican democratic steered clear attacking credibility agency many lawmakers regard neutral arbiter the cbo current director keith hall appointed republicans the credit rating agency standard poor estimated million million people could lose health insurance coverage republican plan senator bernie sanders ran president democrat said cowardly republicans proceed healthcare bill without cbo estimates telling cbs face nation show this in recent weeks trump administration officials republican lawmakers criticized said overly optimistic estimates cbo number americans would sign health insurance exchanges the cbo estimated million people would purchasing insurance exchanges only million signed plans middle last year according department health human services data the house republican legislation would scrap tax penalties americans without health insurance roll back expansion medical insurance poor replace obamacare subsidies system fixed tax credits help people buy private insurance open market con also disputed notion millions people medical would become uninsured obamacare expansion program rolled back period years he said many people would transitioned new private plans would become affordable republican plan house speaker paul ryan republican plan top backer congress said certain cbo would show reduction number americans coverage you know because government mandate ryan told nbc meet press conservative republicans said however could support plan without significant changes republican representative jim jordan ohio founder conservative house freedom caucus said go far enough meet republicans promise kill obamacare we told going replace something would bring cost insurance that told jordan told fox news sunday this legislation speaker brought forward politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Australia urges strong, sustained U.S. engagement in Asia, warns on ChinaSYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia called on Thursday on the United States to build a strong presence in Asia and bolster ties with like-minded partners while warning against China s rising influence. A more insular United States would be detrimental to the liberal nature of the world s rules-based order , the government said in a 115-page foreign policy white paper. Australia believes that international challenges can only be tackled effectively when the world s wealthiest, most innovative and most powerful country is engaged in solving them, the government said. The white paper is a guide for Australian diplomacy and provides a roadmap for advancing its interests. The election of President Donald Trump represented a step towards a more isolationist world, which could be negative for Australia s export-dependent economy, commentators have said. Trump withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership regional trade agreement in January, shortly after he took office. Strong and sustained U.S. engagement in the international system remains fundamental to international stability and prosperity, the government said in the paper. Without such engagement, the effectiveness and liberal character of the international order would erode. Australia is one of the staunchest U.S. allies and troops from the two countries have fought alongside each other in all major conflicts for generations. But the economic growth and power that the United States has enjoyed since the end of the World War Two is now being challenged by China, Australia said. Australia and China have close economic ties but China is suspicious of Australia s close military relationship with the United States. Australia warned in the paper of risks it faces, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region due to a shift in the balance of power. It highlighted the South China Sea as a major fault line in the regional order , and said it was particularly concerned by the unprecedented pace and scale of China s land reclamation and construction activities in the disputed waters. China s Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang told a regular briefing that the paper was on whole a positive assessment of China s development, which he said adhered to the global rules-based order, and of relations between China and Australia. But Lu said the paper did make irresponsible remarks on the South China Sea for which China expressed its concerns. While the government recognized the economic benefits from China s rise, it was also trying to wish China away , said Jane Golley, deputy director at the Australian Center on China in the World, Australian National University. To actually drop the word Asia from Asia-Pacific undoes three decades of diplomatic effort, Golley said, referring to the use of the phrase Indo-Pacific which came up 120 times in the paper. Asia-Pacific was not used once. The United States and some of its allies have recently been talking up their vision of the Indo-Pacific , instead of the Asia-Pacific , in a play on words aimed at undermining the influence of China. There is a small reference to China s geo-economic strategy in the paper but the emphasis is on the tensions that could create, rather than the economic benefits, Golley said. We ll have to see how China reacts to this but they re not going to like this policy. Relations between Australia and China sank to a low point this year after Australia rejected high-profile Chinese investments, citing national interest . Australia has also shown little enthusiasm for China s ambitious Belt and Road initiative, which aims to connect China to Europe and beyond with infrastructure projects. The initiative was mentioned just once in the paper. We are not embracing the future, Golley said. We are holding on to the past and reaching on to the life jacket rather than thinking of building a whole new ship. worldnews | 1 | australia urges strong sustained engagement asia warns chinasydney reuters australia called thursday united states build strong presence asia bolster ties partners warning china rising influence a insular united states would detrimental liberal nature world order government said foreign policy white paper australia believes international challenges tackled effectively world wealthiest innovative powerful country engaged solving government said the white paper guide australian diplomacy provides roadmap advancing interests the election president donald trump represented step towards isolationist world could negative australia economy commentators said trump withdrew partnership regional trade agreement january shortly took office strong sustained engagement international system remains fundamental international stability prosperity government said paper without engagement effectiveness liberal character international order would erode australia one staunchest allies troops two countries fought alongside major conflicts generations but economic growth power united states enjoyed since end world war two challenged china australia said australia china close economic ties china suspicious australia close military relationship united states australia warned paper risks faces particularly region due shift balance power it highlighted south china sea major fault line regional order said particularly concerned unprecedented pace scale china land reclamation construction activities disputed waters china foreign ministry spokesman lu kang told regular briefing paper whole positive assessment china development said adhered global order relations china australia but lu said paper make irresponsible remarks south china sea china expressed concerns while government recognized economic benefits china rise also trying wish china away said jane volley deputy director australian center china world australian national university to actually drop word asia undocs three decades diplomatic effort volley said referring use phrase came times paper used the united states allies recently talking vision instead play words aimed undermining influence china there small reference china strategy paper emphasis tensions could create rather economic benefits volley said we see china reacts going like policy relations australia china sank low point year australia rejected chinese investments citing national interest australia also shown little enthusiasm china ambitious belt road initiative aims connect china europe beyond infrastructure projects the initiative mentioned paper we embracing future volley said we holding past reaching life jacket rather thinking building whole new ship worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

OBAMA’S RACISM CZAR, “REVEREND” AL SHARPTON CALLS FOR FEDERAL POLICE FORCEYeah putting the federal government in charge of our entire police force, sounds like a great idea Al. We re waiting for Al to call for an all black police force next you know, in the name of fairness. Rev. Al Sharpton called for national policing legislation akin to the Civil Rights Act this morning at the kickoff his National Action Network s annual convention, just after the arrest of a white South Carolina police officer for murder in the shooting of an unarmed black man. There must be national policy and national law on policing, Mr. Sharpton said. We can t go from state to state, we ve got to have national law to protect people against these continued questions. Mr. Sharpton s comments, coming on the heels of multiple instances of police killings of unarmed men of color around the country, were met with applause from the crowd and from the dais, which was packed with elected officials including Mayor Bill de Blasio, Congressman Charles Rangel, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, city Comptroller Scott Stringer and state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoliThe convention kickoff, which featured a ribbon cutting with the lawmakers, came just hours after it was announced last night that North Charleston, S.C., police officer Michael T. Slager would be charged with murder in the death of Walter Scott who can be seen in a widely publicized video running away from Mr. Slager, while the officer shoots into the man s back repeatedly. The video offers a markedly different story than the one Mr. Slager first offered up: that Scott had stolen his taser and left him in fear for his life.Mr. Sharpton praised the city s mayor and police chief for bringing the charges, but said the nation couldn t rely on the judgement of local officials. We commend them, but we cannot have a justice system that hopes we have a mayor in the right city or a police chief, he said. We have to have one policy that is national. Mr. Sharpton later noted that the comparatively small town s officials had been braver than police leaders in bigger cities. He has been vocal about his belief that New York City police Daniel Pantaleo should have been charged with a crime in the death of an unarmed black Staten Island man, Eric Garner. A grand jury declined to indict Mr. Pantaleo, spurring protests throughout the city.That death, too, was captured in a widely published video. And though the footage did not lead to any charges, Mr. Sharpton said today the national legislation should focus on cameras as well as accountability. He compared the fight for police reform to the civil rights struggle, noting that activists did not try to fix discrimination in individual states or cities. They fought for a national Civil Rights Act, a national Voting Rights Act. It s time for this country to have national policing, Mr. Sharpton said.After the ribbon cutting, Mr. de Blasio whose first year in office was dominated by an effort to reform police-community relations after Garner s death and a subsequent City Hall feud with police union leadership said he agreed some kind of national standard should be set. It s a broad point he s making, and I think he way he made the analogy to the Voting Rights Act is the right one. We ve got to figure out how to create the right relationship between police and community, Mr. de Blasio told reporters. The vast majority of police do their job well and want to work more closely with the community. Obviously community residents want to work more closely with the police. But we have to create more of a national standard that says we all have to be on the same page. The relationship between Mr. de Blasio and Mr. Sharpton was fodder for his woes with police unions last year: they took umbrage when Mr. Sharpton was seated next to the mayor and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton at a City Hall round table, and dismissed Mr. Sharpton as divisive. A poll later showed voters didn t like the approaches of either Mr. Sharpton or the union leaders and rank-and-file officers who later turned their backs on Mr. de Blasio at the funeral for two slain officers.Today, Mr. Sharpton offered a full-throated defense his relationship with the mayor, saying it was based not on political power but on a long history of working together, citing Mr. de Blasio s support on issues like wage increases and the silent march against stop, question and frisk before his election. He marched with us when other candidates wouldn t. So don t begrudge us for knowing somebody that we always knew, and that was there in the trenches with us, Mr. Sharpton said, saying he had never asked for favors or back room deals only access and policy changes. There s nothing in the back room we want. We want everything out front.

Police suspect car bomb that killed Maltese reporter was triggered from boatVALLETTA (Reuters) - Maltese investigators believe a man charged with murdering an anti-corruption journalist set off the car bomb which killed her via SMS from a cabin cruiser out at sea, police sources said on Wednesday. Three men were charged on Tuesday over the death of Daphne Caruana Galizia, whose car was blown up as she drove out of her home on Oct. 16. The crime shocked the Mediterranean island and raised concerns among European Union lawmakers about the rule of law there. The three, named as Vince Muscat, and brothers Alfred and George Degiorgio, have all pleaded not guilty. Police sources said investigators suspected George Degiorgio sent the text message after receiving a signal from his brother Alfred, who they believe acted as a lookout. A boat has been impounded. There was no immediate statement from the men s lawyers. Caruana Galizia wrote a popular blog which highlighted cases of alleged graft and targeted politicians in government, including Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, and the opposition. Seven other men were arrested in connection with the probe and then released without charge, police said. Caruana Galizia s family, which has criticized the handling of the case, said in a statement on Wednesday that the murdered journalist had not been investigating any of the 10 people arrested. Simon Busuttil, former leader of the opposition in the Maltese parliament, tweeted a link to the statement, adding: This can only mean that those who commissioned the assassination of #DaphneCaruanaGalizia are still out at large. Evidence gathered so far suggests the bomb was placed inside her rented car while it was parked in an alley outside her house six miles from Valletta on the night before her death. Mobile phones were recovered from the sea in Marsa, an inland area of Valletta harbor, the sources said. Prime Minister Muscat has called the killing an attack on press freedom, and asked the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation to help local police investigate. Caruana Galizia s son said she was killed because of her work. Members of an EU fact-find mission said last week there was a perception of impunity in Malta. worldnews | 1 | police suspect car bomb killed males reporter triggered boatvalletta reuters males investigators believe man charged murdering journalist set car bomb killed via sms cabin cruiser sea police sources said wednesday three men charged tuesday death dane ariana galeria whose car blown drove home the crime shocked mediterranean island raised concerns among european union lawmakers rule law the three named vince must brothers alfred george degiorgio pleaded guilty police sources said investigators suspected george degiorgio sent text message receiving signal brother alfred believe acted lookout a boat impounded there immediate statement men lawyers ariana galeria wrote popular blog highlighted cases alleged graft targeted politicians government including prime minister joseph must opposition seven men arrested connection probe released without charge police said ariana galeria family criticized handling case said statement wednesday murdered journalist investigating people arrested simon busuttil former leader opposition males parliament tweeted link statement adding this mean commissioned assassination daphnecaruanagalizia still large evidence gathered far suggests bomb placed inside rented car parked alley outside house six miles violetta night death mobile phones recovered sea mars inland area violetta harbor sources said prime minister must called killing attack press freedom asked federal bureau investigation help local police investigate ariana galeria son said killed work members eu mission said last week perception impunity malta worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

MSNBC’S JOY REID Gets a Huge Dose of KARMA from an Unlikely Source…Apologizes on Social MediaNow this is sweet KARMA! If you ve ever watched Joy Reid interview Maxine Waters on MSNBC then you know the bitterness and hatefulness runs deep with both of them. Well, as it turns out, Reid has a nasty past of bashing people by accusing them of being gay while married. Reid relentlessly was homophobic and downright nasty to former Florida governor Charlie Crist:MSNBC host Joy Reid apologized amid social media outrage over homophobic blog posts she wrote between 2007 and 2009.In the articles unearthed by left-leaning Paste magazine, Reid mocked former Florida governor Charlie Crist as Miss Charlie 17 times when she was an editor at black-centric website the Grio.1/x From 2007 to 2009 @joyannreid authored a dozen homophobic posts not only attempting to out Charlie Crist as gay, she attacked & mocked him for being so.She repeatedly referred to him as "Miss Charlie" and tagged posts about him under "gay politicians."

In 2012, he switched over to the Democratic Party, so they re on the same side now, as it were.After being widely slammed on Twitter, Reid finally apologized in a statement to the press 10 years after the hypocritical anti-gay attacks. I deeply apologize to Congressman Crist, who was the target of my thoughtlessness, Reid wrote. This note is my apology to all who are disappointed by the content of blogs I wrote a decade ago, for which my choice of words and tone have legitimately been criticized. She added: Re-reading those old blog posts, I am disappointed in myself. I apologize to those who also are disappointed in me. Life can be humbling. It often is. Crist has never come out as gay, and he has been married twice to women. And if he were gay, that would actually make him a liberal hero according to leftist orthodoxy.Reid also suggested Crist married women to promote his career. Meanwhile, Reid never condemned Democratic senator Elizabeth Warren for falsely claiming she was Native American to get advance her career.HATEFUL DEMOCRATS AREN T HARD TO FIND THESE DAYS This woman just happens to be on a major news network spewing her vile hatred every day.

ONLY HOURS AFTER DEATH Of Supreme Court Justice Scalia, Democrats Demand Obama Chooses His ReplacementThe US Supreme Court is set to decide the first major abortion case in nearly 10 years as well as critical decisions on immigration, affirmative action and voting rights. Will the Republican party have the spine to stand up to these reprobates and demand that we wait until after the election to appoint a new US Supreme Court Justice? Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Saturday that the Senate should wait until a new president is elected to confirm a replacement for Justice Antonin Scalia, whose sudden death Saturday shook Washington and threatened to reshape the 2016 presidential race.Democrats said that with 11 months left in Mr. Obama s tenure, the Senate has enough time and indeed an obligation to confirm a replacement. The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president, the Kentucky Republican said in a statement.News of Scalia s death was just hours old before the debate heated up.With the court now divided between four Republican-appointed justices and four Democratic picks, Mr. Obama would have a chance to tilt the bench decidedly to the left, and liberal lawmakers said he should have that chance.Via: Washington TimesGovernment News | 0 | only hours after death of supreme court justice scale democrats demand obama chooses his replacementthe us supreme court set decide first major abortion case nearly years well critical decisions immigration affirmative action voting rights will republican party spine stand reprobates demand wait election appoint new us supreme court justice senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said saturday senate wait new president elected confirm replacement justice antonio scale whose sudden death saturday shook washington threatened shape presidential said months left obama tenure senate enough time indeed obligation confirm replacement the american people voice selection next supreme court justice therefore vacancy filled new president kentucky republican said scale death hours old debate heated court divided four justices four democratic picks obama would chance tilt bench decidedly left liberal lawmakers said washington timesgovernment news | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president, the Kentucky Republican said in a statement.News of Scalia s death was just hours old before the debate heated up.With the court now divided between four Republican-appointed justices and four Democratic picks, Mr. Obama would have a chance to tilt the bench decidedly to the left, and liberal lawmakers said he should have that chance.Via: Washington TimesGovernment News | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Leaving the Paris climate deal will take the U.S. years: JunckerBERLIN (Reuters) - Europe must make clear to the United States that quitting the Paris climate agreement is not a straightforward process, and that fully leaving the deal will take years, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said on Wednesday. “Europe’s duty is to say: it’s not like that,” Juncker told a student conference on the future of Europe organized by the German employers’ association BDA. “The Americans can’t just leave the climate protection agreement. Mr. Trump believes that because he doesn’t know the details.” In reality, it would take several years for the U.S. to extricate itself from the obligations that flow from having signed the agreement, the head of the European Union’s executive arm added. politicsNews | 1 | leaving paris climate deal take years junckerberlin reuters europe must make clear united states quitting paris climate agreement straightforward process fully leaving deal take years european commission president quicker said wednesday europe duty say like quicker told student conference future europe organized german employers association bda the americans leave climate protection agreement trump believes know in reality would take several years intricate obligations flow signed agreement head european union executive arm added politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

IF HILLARY HAS TO DROP OUT Of The Race…Here’s What Will HappenAfter months of speculation about Hillary s poor health, she appeared to have a pretty serious episode after leaving the 9-11 memorial service in NYC. Fortunately, someone was able to capture her on video in a press-free zone, as she appeared to be having convulsions and collapsing, forcing the secret service to physically lift her into her vehicle. Many in the media are saying the Democrat Party is scrambling to figure out what to do if Hillary is FORCED to drop out of the race. Of course Hillary wouldn t leave the race on her own for the good of the country or for the good of her party. This is her final shot at the highest office in our nation, and she has already proven there is nothing that will get in her way from her lifelong goal of becoming our first female President. No lie is too big and no scandal will take her down. It s her turn. But in the event that she ends up incapacitated by her illness which, according to many prominent physicians looks more like Parkinson s Disease, here s what would happen if she was forced to drop out:It s never happened before, but if Hillary Clinton has to drop out before Election Day, the Democratic National Committee would pick a successor and it wouldn t have to be runningmate Tim Kaine.If Donald Trump faced the same situation, the Republican National Committee would select a GOP replacement, perhaps by reconvening 2,472 delegates.Clinton s near collapse over the weekend, coupled with the ages of the two major candidates, have brought the far-flung scenarios into the realm of possibility.There s 55 days until the election as of Tuesday and military and overseas ballots are mailed 45 days before the polls open.Thirty-seven states have some sort of early voting, with North Carolina being the first by mail on Sept. 9.What would really complicate matters is if a nominee had to drop out when ballots have already been cast. It would be an unprecedented, complicated mess, one election lawyer said.The Electoral College would then select the next president.If the electors couldn t agree, the House of Representatives would make the selection.

VINDICATION: Sally Yates Nominated For JFK Courage Award For Standing Up To Trump’s Muslim BanThe former acting attorney general who became an instant symbol of heroic defiance of Trump when she was fired for refusing to support the administration s unconstitutional Muslim ban has been nominated for a Profile in Courage Award, known as the highest honor given to public servants.The award is named awarded in honor of John F Kennedy and recognizes a public official (or officials) at the federal, state or local level whose actions demonstrate the qualities of politically courageous leadership in the spirit of Profiles in Courage, President Kennedy s 1957 Pulitzer prize-winning book, which recounts the stories of eight U.S. Senators who risked their careers by embracing unpopular positions for the greater good. It seems like Yates refusal to enforce an executive order that was not only unconstitutional but unethical as well fits that bill. She was nominated by Democratic politician Jackie Speier who offered this message on Twitter:Just told w/ Sally Yates I've nominated her 4 President Kennedy s Profile in Courage Award 4 standing 4 the public good #ThankYouSallyYates Jackie Speier (@RepSpeier) January 31, 2017At a time when many politicians are showing a marked lack of courage, Yates stands out from the crowd. In just one egregious example of gutlessness, recently an audio recording taken of Paul Ryan during the presidential campaign proved that he not only despised Trump but viewed him as fundamentally unfit for office. Now that Trump got elected, nobody has been more subservient and docile than Ryan. The lack of backbone is embarrassing to watch, but Ryan is hardly alone. Republicans are nearly unanimous in supporting Trump despite privately admitting they think he is a lunatic. If there were a Profile in Cowardice award, this year would have some stiff competition.Despite her popularity among the American public, Yates decision to stand against Trump couldn t have been an easy one. She was publicly fired from her job as acting Attorney General, only to find that Trump wasn t finished. In characteristic shamelessness, he sicced his attack dogs on her who quickly went to places like Fox News and Breitbart to smear her.Yates experience is a reminder that opposing Trump, particularly from within the government, is not going to be easy. He will use every tool at his disposal to discredit and attack his critics. Which is why being recognized for the courage it takes to do so is vitally important. It may send a message to other would-be defectors that America is behind them.

Even Trump’s Homeland Security Chief Thinks He’s Full Of Sh*t About The Border WallWhile campaigning, Donald Trump vowed to build a great wall and Mexico will pay for it. I will build a great wall and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me and I ll build them very inexpensively, the former reality show star said at the time. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words. Well, that s not going to happen. Mexico is not paying for the wall and Trump s own homeland security secretary disagrees with the amateur president.Kelly said Wednesday that it is doubtful that a wall along the full border with Mexico would ever be built, despite Trump s claims. It is unlikely that we will build a wall from sea to shining sea, Kelly told senators on the Homeland Security Committee, according to The New York Times.Instead, Kelly, who was appointed by Trump said the department will look to build physical barriers. That includes fencing and concrete walls in places that make sense.Like his presidency and administration, Trump s plan for the great wall is amateurish and chaotic.In February, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), a border-state Republican, said that building a physical wall along the border in some places makes no sense. There are other Republicans who were left scratching their heads, too, over Trump s nonsensical border wall. I don t think we re just going to be able to solve border security with a physical barrier because people can come under, around it and through it, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said in January.Still yet, Kelly defended Trump s extreme vetting proposal in which he insists that children would not be routinely separated from their families unless the situation at the time requires it, such as when the mother is sick or addicted to drugs. Right, because if a mother is sick, her children should be taken from her, amirite?It s not just elected officials who are wondering what the hell Trump is thinking. A supporter of the alleged president s found her home suddenly on the Mexico side of the border. We call that karma. Adding to that, Trump wants a 30-foot wall that looks good on the northern side of the border. We re not sure what she was thinking when she cast her vote for Trump.

WATCH SWAMP MONSTER James Clapper Make False Claim That Trump is an “Intelligence Asset” for Putin [Video]Watch some fake news from a swamp creature who should be in jail:Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper referred to President Donald Trump on Monday as an intelligence asset for Russian President Vladimir Putin. The term asset refers to people with countries or organizations being spied upon who serve as resources for outside spies.Clapper appeared on CNN to discuss Trump s national security strategy speech given Monday, where he referred to Russia as a rival but also said he wanted to form a partnership.The two leaders have also expressed recent gratitude to each other, with Putin calling and thanking Trump for sharing intelligence that helped foil a terror plot and Trump thanking Putin for his recent praise of the American economy.IS THIS GUY KIDDING:This is on the same day that we learn the following about the Obama administration:The Obama administration intentionally derailed investigations into the terrorist group Hezbollah s drug trafficking operation to secure the Iran nuclear deal, according to a new bombshell report.Politico spoke with several members of Project Cassandra, a joint effort between the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Pentagon that was founded in 2008 under the Bush administration to identify and prosecute a drug trafficking, money laundering, and smuggling operation run by the Iranian-backed militants.Over the next eight years, agents working out of a top-secret DEA facility in Chantilly, Virginia, used wiretaps, undercover operations, and informants to map Hezbollah s illicit networks, with the help of 30 U.S. and foreign security agencies.They followed cocaine shipments, some from Latin America to West Africa and on to Europe and the Middle East, and others through Venezuela and Mexico to the United States. They tracked the river of dirty cash as it was laundered by, among other tactics, buying American used cars and shipping them to Africa. And with the help of some key cooperating witnesses, the agents traced the conspiracy, they believed, to the innermost circle of Hezbollah and its state sponsors in Iran.Read more: WFBpolitics | 0 | watch swamp monster james clipper make false claim that trump intelligence asset putin video watch fake news swamp creature jail former director national intelligence james clipper referred president donald trump monday intelligence asset russian president vladimir putin the term asset refers people countries organizations speed upon serve resources outside appeared cnn discuss trump national security strategy speech given monday referred russia rival also said wanted form two leaders also expressed recent gratitude putin calling thanking trump sharing intelligence helped foil terror plot trump thanking putin recent praise american this guy kidding this day learn following obama administration the obama administration intentionally derailed investigations terrorist group hezbollah drug trafficking operation secure iran nuclear deal according new bombshell spoke several members project cassandra joint effort drug enforcement agency pentagon founded bush administration identify prosecute drug trafficking money laundering smuggling operation run next eight years agents working dea facility chantilly virginia used wiretaps undercover operations informants map hezbollah illicit networks help foreign security followed cocaine shipments latin america west africa europe middle east others venezuela mexico united states they tracked river dirty cash foundered among tactics buying american used cars shipping africa and help key cooperating witnesses agents traced conspiracy believed innermost circle hezbollah state sponsors abpolitics | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

U.N. rights chief decries 'bigotry' in U.S. presidential raceGENEVA (Reuters) - The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights launched a thinly veiled attack on U.S. Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump and other presidential hopefuls on Friday, in a speech entitled “The road to violence.” “Bigotry is not proof of strong leadership.

He said the eyes of the world would be on Cleveland when it hosts the Republican National Convention in July, and it was his “deepest hope” that Americans would use it to demonstrate their profound understanding of human dignity and human rights. “And yet, in what may be a crucial election for leadership of this country later this year, we have seen a full-frontal attack – disguised as courageous taboo-busting – on some fundamental, hard-won tenets of decency and social cohesion that have come to be accepted by American society.” He said the price for the “dangerously divisive” rhetoric would be paid by innocent people falling victim to violent acts, not by politicians. “We have heard these calls to hatred – calls stigmatizing and demonizing minorities, beginning the validation of violence,” he said. “Real courage would mean standing up for the great and enduring values of this society.” politicsNews | 1 | rights chief decrees presidential racegeneva reuters the high commissioner human rights launched thinly veiled attack republican presidential donald trump presidential hopefuls friday speech entitled the road bigotry proof strong leadership it evidence lowest raven lack faith principles uphold land free eid ra ad al hussain said speech university cleveland ohio less miles away i speak candidate president country declared months ago enthusiastic support torture inflicting intolerable pain people order force deliver invent information may we heard hateful slander foreigners multiple candidates declaring support extensive intrusive surveillance people based religious beliefs vast discriminatory systems single discriminate eid speech klatsky lecture case western reserve university also recalled nazi holocaust genocide bosnia muslims former bosnia verb leader rdova karadzic jailed last month he said eyes world would cleveland hosts republican national convention july deepest hope americans would use demonstrate profound understanding human dignity human rights and yet may crucial election leadership country later year seen attack disguised courageous fundamental tenets decency social cohesion come accepted american he said price dangerously divisive rhetoric would paid innocent people falling victim violent acts politicians we heard calls hatred calls stigmatizing demonizing minorities beginning validation violence said real courage would mean standing great enduring values politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Israel must enact law if it wants to hold militants' remains as bargaining chips: courtJERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel s Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the state could not keep the bodies of Palestinian gunmen for use as bargaining chips to get back its own dead unless it enacted legislation permitting it to do so. A three-justice panel ruled in favor of militants families who petitioned to force Israeli authorities to return to them for burial the bodies of militant relatives killed in attacks on Israelis. The court gave the state six months to enact legislation if it wanted to keep the bodies. Israel has said it was holding the bodies to help it effect the return the remains of the two Israeli soldiers killed in the Gaza Strip in 2014 and two Israeli civilians, whose whereabouts are unknown and whom Israel believes are alive and being held in the enclave by Palestinian Islamist group Hamas. But in a majority ruling, the court said the bodies were being held without authorization because there was no law on the Israeli statute books to regulate their being kept. It should be emphasized that Israel, a state governed by the rule of law, cannot hold bodies for the purposes of negotiations while there is no specific, clear law in place permitting it to do so, part of the ruling s summary said. Israel has in the past carried out swaps of prisoners and of militants remains with Hamas and with the Iranian-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah in exchange for Israeli soldiers and their remains. worldnews | 1 | israel must enact law wants hold militants remains bargaining chips courtjerusalem reuters israel supreme court ruled thursday state could keep bodies palestinian gunmen use bargaining chips get back dead unless enacted legislation permitting a panel ruled favor militants families petitioned force israeli authorities return burial bodies militant relatives killed attacks israeli the court gave state six months enact legislation wanted keep bodies israel said holding bodies help effect return remains two israeli soldiers killed gaza strip two israeli civilians whose whereabouts unknown israel believes alive held enclave palestinian islamic group hamas but majority ruling court said bodies held without authorization law israeli statute books regulate kept it emphasized israel state governed rule law hold bodies purposes negotiations specific clear law place permitting part ruling summary said israel past carried swaps prisoners militants remains hamas lebanese group hezbollah exchange israeli soldiers remains worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Illegal miners in South Africa swallow gold in condomsCAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Illegal miners in South Africa are swallowing unrefined gold and platinum in condoms as a new tactic to avoid arrest for smuggling that is costing the industry $1.5 billion a year, the police told parliament on Friday. Illegal mining has plagued South Africa s mining sector for decades, and extends from small time pilfering to global organized crime networks. The crime costs the industry and government an estimated 20 billion rand ($1.5 billion) a year in lost sales, taxes and royalties, the Chamber of Mines, an industry body, says. They are ingesting the amalgam concealed in condoms and this is done for two principle reasons. One is to be able to bypass mine security and the other is also to prevent being robbed by opposing groups, Brigadier Ebrahim Kadwa, a commander in South Africa s Hawks organized crime unit, said, showing parliament slides of gold-filled condoms in miners x-rays. Potentially toxic clumps of mercury and gold concentrate can be refined to extract gold once passed through the body. Illegal mining in South Africa involves a complex criminal web that extends from desperate unemployed workers, many from neighboring countries, to gun-toting gang bosses and front companies exporting refined products to global markets. The threat posed by illicit mining and related crimes continues to proliferate across the country, Kadwa said, adding that the majority of incidents were in gold mines owned by Harmony Gold and Sibanye. However, hundreds of incidents occurred throughout the country and targeted other minerals such as diamonds and chrome. High rates of unemployment and a stagnant economy helped entice illegal miners to the dangerous work, which is also being driven by rising commodity prices. Kadwa said a weakening of the rand currency between December 2015 to April 2016, saw the relative gold price rise, encouraging illegal smuggling. In February, 22 illegal miners were given lengthy sentences after being found guilty of 577 charges, ranging from theft of gold to racketeering and money laundering. This is a landmark moment in the fight against illegal mining in the country, Kadwa said. worldnews | 1 | illegal miners south africa swallow gold condomscape town reuters illegal miners south africa swallowing undefined gold platinum condoms new tactic avoid arrest smuggling costing industry billion year police told parliament friday illegal mining plagued south africa mining sector decades extends small time differing global organized crime networks the crime costs industry government estimated billion rand billion year lost sales taxes royalties chamber mines industry body says they investing amalgam concealed condoms done two principle reasons one able bypass mine security also prevent robbed opposing groups brigadier brahim ada commander south africa hawks organized crime unit said showing parliament slides condoms miners potentially toxic clumps mercury gold concentrate refined extract gold passed body illegal mining south africa involves complex criminal web extends desperate unemployed workers many neighboring countries gang bosses front companies exporting refined products global markets the threat posed illicit mining related crimes continues proliferate across country ada said adding majority incidents gold mines owned harmony gold sibanye however hundreds incidents occurred throughout country targeted minerals diamonds chrome high rates unemployment stagnant economy helped entice illegal miners dangerous work also driven rising commodity prices ada said weakening rand currency december april saw relative gold price rise encouraging illegal smuggling in february illegal miners given lengthy sentences found guilty charges ranging theft gold racketeering money laundering this landmark moment fight illegal mining country ada said worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

CONGRESS WARNED Threat of Nuclear EMP Attack Has Never Been Higher: “N. Korean EMP Attack Would Kill ‘90% of All Americans’While fecklessness towards the emerging North Korean threat characterized the Clinton and Bush 43 administrations, we find ourselves needlessly exposed to its present magnitude in no small measure because Obama s so-called strategic patience was characterized by inaction on two, vital fronts: advancing the U.S. missile defense capabilities and protecting the grid against electromagnetic pulse and other perils.Barack Obama and his subordinates brought to office a visceral enmity towards missile defense, born of an ideological attachment to the obsolete Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with the Soviet Union, which prevented the United States from having any effective anti-missile systems. While George W. Bush formally withdrew us from the ABM Treaty in 2002, the capabilities of such defenses as have been put into place have been deliberately limited so much so that they were reportedly not up to the task of shooting down the ballistic missile Pyongyang fired over Japan last week.Team Obama was convinced that it would rid the world of nuclear weapons and so declined to take seriously, let alone do anything appreciable about, the danger that one or more detonated outside the atmosphere over the United States could destroy our most critical of critical infrastructures: the electric grid. Late in his presidency, Mr. Obama did evince concern about a similar, nation-ending effect being caused by intense solar storms, but did little to make the grid resilient against that source of destructive electromagnetic pulses, either. Frank J. Gaffney, Jr., former Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Reagan administration, and President of the Center for Security PolicyWashington Examiner Congress was warned Thursday that North Korea is capable of attacking the U.S. today with a nuclear EMP bomb that could indefinitely shut down the electric power grid and kill 90 percent of all Americans within a year.At a House hearing, experts said that North Korea could easily employ the doomsday scenario to turn parts of the U.S. to ashes.In calling on the Pentagon and President Trump to move quickly to protect the grid, the experts testified that an explosion of a high-altitude nuclear bomb delivered by a missile or satellite could be to shut down the U.S. electric power grid for an indefinite period, leading to the death within a year of up to 90 percent of all Americans. Two members of the former congressional EMP commission said the threat to the U.S. has never been higher, in part because of the current high level of saber-rattling by both sides and North Korea s surprising display over the past six months of its ability to deliver on its threats. With the development of small nuclear arsenals and long-range missiles by new, radical U.S. adversaries, beginning with North Korea, the threat of a nuclear EMP attack against the U.S. becomes one of the few ways that such a country could inflict devastating damage to the United States. It is critical, therefore, that the U.S. national leadership address the EMP threat as a critical and existential issue, and give a high priority to assuring the leadership is engaged and the necessary steps are taken to protect the country from EMP, the experts told a House Homeland Security subcommittee.Watch the discussion about the threat of an EMP attack on the United States with congressional members here: politics | 0 | congress warned threat nuclear emp attack has never been higher n korean emp attack would kill all americans while fecklessness towards emerging north korean threat characterized clinton bush administrations find needlessly exposed present magnitude small measure obama strategic patience characterized inaction two vital fronts advancing missile defense capabilities protecting grid electromagnetic pulse obama subordinates brought office visceral enmity towards missile defense born ideological attachment obsolete missile treaty soviet union prevented united states effective systems while george bush formally withdrew us am treaty capabilities defenses put place deliberately limited much reportedly task shooting ballistic missile pyongyang fired japan last obama convinced would rid world nuclear weapons declined take seriously let alone anything appreciable danger one detonated outside atmosphere united states could destroy critical critical infrastructures electric grid late presidency obama vince concern similar effect caused intense solar storms little make grid resilient source destructive electromagnetic pulses either frank gaffney former assistant secretary defense reagan administration president center security policywashington examiner congress warned thursday north korea capable attacking today nuclear emp bomb could indefinitely shut electric power grid kill percent americans within house hearing experts said north korea could easily employ doomsday scenario turn parts calling pentagon president trump move quickly protect grid experts testified explosion nuclear bomb delivered missile satellite could shut electric power grid indefinite period leading death within year percent americans two members former congressional emp commission said threat never higher part current high level sides north korea surprising display past six months ability deliver threats with development small nuclear arsenal missiles new radical adversaries beginning north korea threat nuclear emp attack becomes one ways country could inflict devastating damage united states it critical therefore national leadership address emp threat critical existential issue give high priority assuring leadership engaged necessary steps taken protect country emp experts told house homeland security discussion threat emp attack united states congressional members politics | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

According To Donald Trump,The KKK Might Not Be All Bad (VIDEO)Republican front runner Donald Trump refused to distance himself from the Ku Klux Klan and former KKK Grand Dragon David Duke, who has endorsed him. Trump s reasoning: he has to do research on them before rejecting their endorsement.[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfBAKW54FVs]Trump s statement comes as the Anti-Defamation League called on him to reject endorsements from white supremacist groups. CNN s Jake Tapper asked Trump if he was willing to disavow white supremacist endorsements. Here is part of the interview below. Trump said: I don t know anything about David Duke. I don t know anything about what you are even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. So, I don t know. I mean, did he endorse me or what s going on? Because I know nothing about David Duke, I know nothing about white supremacists. And so, you are asking me a question that I m supposed to be talking about people that I know nothing about. But Tapper wouldn t let him off the hook so quickly, and pressed on: Would you just say, unequivocally, you condemn them and you don t want their support? Trump said: Well, I have to look at the group. I mean, I don t know what group you re talking about. You wouldn t want me to condemn a group that I know nothing about. I d have to look. If you would send me a list of the groups, I will do research on them, and certainly I would disavow if I thought that there was something wrong. The Ku Klux Klan, Tapper interrupted. Trump replied: You may have some groups in there that are totally fine, and it would be very unfair. So, give me a list of groups and I ll let you know. Okay, I m just talking about David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan here, said Tapper. Honestly, I don t know David Duke, Trump remarked. I don t believe I ve ever met him. I m pretty sure I didn t meet him, and I just don t know anything about him. To claim ignorance is Trump s way of dodging the question. Trump knows that the majority of his supporters are racists and as is typical of a politician, you don t want to upset your supporters. Thus, he s remained hush hush on the overwhelming support he s received from racists around the country.Trump has succeeded in normalizing bigotry and hatred for minorities. It s going to be up to each of us, should he become the Republican nominee, to go out and vote against him in the general election.

Factbox: Divided, rebellious UK parliament takes on May's Brexit planLONDON (Reuters) - British lawmakers will debate legislation underpinning the government s plan to leave the European Union this week, the latest stage in an arduous journey through parliament. The first two days of debate in the current stage of the process will be held in parliament on Nov. 14 and 15. A total of eight days of debate are planned during this Committee Stage , used to make changes to the government s proposed wording of the bill. Formally known as the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill, the legislation will then face several more stages of approval in the lower house of parliament, and must also make its way through a multi-stage process in the upper house. Both chambers must agree on the wording before it can become law. What is the bill and what does it do? The legislation serves two main functions: 1. Repealing the 1972 European Communities Act which made Britain a member of the European Communities, forerunner to the European Union. This effectively ends Britain s EU membership. 2. Transferring the existing body of EU law into British law. This is designed to provide legal certainty about the complex process of leaving. Why is it controversial? The bill has faced criticism from opposition lawmakers, campaign groups and members of May s Conservative Party. Brexit is still divisive in Britain after a referendum in June last year, and many people, including some lawmakers, want to retain as much of the country s current EU membership as possible. Others would like to reverse the vote. May runs a minority government, which has a slim 13-seat working majority in the 650-seat parliament thanks to a deal with a small Northern Irish party. A rebellion of seven or more Conservative lawmakers could see her lose a vote in parliament and forced into making concessions. The objections are mainly based on two themes: 1. The power for the government to amend EU laws as they are brought onto the British statute book. These are often referred to as Henry VIII powers after the 16th century English monarch who ruled by proclamation. The government says it needs to be able to fix the wording of laws to ensure they work correctly after Brexit. For example, where a law refers to an EU institution which will no longer have jurisdiction in Britain, the law must be changed to point to the correct British equivalent. Critics say the bill gives ministers too much power to make changes, and creates the potential for policy shifts to be implemented without full parliamentary scrutiny. The process through which the government would make the changes already exists and is known as secondary legislation . It does allow for some degree of scrutiny by lawmakers, but would not submit changes to the full legislative process. 2. The bill does not contain a provision for parliament to vote on the final Brexit deal. The government has promised lawmakers they will get a meaningful vote on the outcome of negotiations in Brussels to decide the terms of Britain s exit and its future relationship with the bloc. As it currently stands, this vote will be on whether to accept the terms of the deal, or reject it and walk away without a deal. But critics says the promise of a vote should be written into the bill. Some also say that it should give lawmakers more options than the current take it or leave it vote. This could mean an option to send Britain back to the negotiating table. What has happened so far? The bill cleared its first parliamentary hurdle in September when, after two days of debate, lawmakers voted 326 to 290 in favor of the principles of the bill. Although the government won the vote, several Conservatives indicated they were unhappy with the details of it, and said they wanted to see concessions during the next stage. What happens next? The first two days of the Committee Stage have been scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday but the remaining six days have not yet been scheduled. Any lawmaker can submit changes for consideration. So far, 186 pages of so-called amendments have been submitted. The list will be scrutinized by parliament s deputy speaker, whittled down and grouped according to subject. The amendments to be considered will be announced at the start of each day s debate. The first two days will focus on the part of the bill that repeals the 1972 European Communities Act, the retention, conversion and interpretation of existing EU laws, and EU rights. At the end of the debate over each group of amendments, some will be put to a vote. If supported by a majority of lawmakers, the changes will be made to the bill. They can still be reversed. Once all the groups of amendments have been debated, the bill is reprinted to include any amendments passed and it moves on to the next stage in the process. Which is ...? The bill will be subject to several more stages of votes in the lower chamber and the upper chamber of parliament. The entire process will take months to complete, and there is no target end date. Report stage: Any amendments voted by the house at committee stage will pass to report stage. This is a new opportunity to add amendments. The speaker of the house oversees this process. Third reading: This takes place immediately after report stage. It usually lasts an hour and is a general discussion of the bill followed by a vote. No amendments can be made. House of Lords: The bill passes to the unelected upper chamber of parliament, the House of Lords. Lords can put forward their own amendments, each of which will be discussed and decided on in turn. If the lords agree to any amendments, the bill passes back to the House of Commons for its approval. Ping Pong: If the bill passes back to the commons, they debate and vote on the lords amendments. No new amendments can be introduced. In theory the bill can continue passing back and forth between the lords and commons until the final bill is agreed upon. Royal assent: Once the bill has been agreed by both houses of parliament, it is given royal assent, when the queen formally agrees to make the bill into an Act of Parliament. worldnews | 1 | factor divided rebellious uk parliament takes may brexit planlondon reuters british lawmakers debate legislation undermining government plan leave european union week latest stage arduous journey parliament the first two days debate current stage process held parliament a total eight days debate planned committee stage used make changes government proposed wording bill formally known european union withdrawal bill legislation face several stages approval lower house parliament must also make way process upper house both chambers must agree wording become law what bill the legislation serves two main functions repealing european communities act made britain member european communities forerunner european union this effectively ends britain eu membership transferring existing body eu law british law this designed provide legal certainty complex process leaving why controversial the bill faced criticism opposition lawmakers campaign groups members may conservative party brexit still divisive britain referendum june last year many people including lawmakers want retain much country current eu membership possible others would like reverse vote may runs minority government slim working majority parliament thanks deal small northern irish party a rebellion seven conservative lawmakers could see lose vote parliament forced making concessions the objections mainly based two themes the power government amend eu laws brought onto british statute book these often referred henry viii powers century english monarch ruled proclamation the government says needs able fix wording laws ensure work correctly brexit for example law refers eu institution longer jurisdiction britain law must changed point correct british equivalent critics say bill gives ministers much power make changes creates potential policy shifts implemented without full parliamentary scrutiny the process government would make changes already exists known secondary legislation it allow degree scrutiny lawmakers would submit changes full legislative process the bill contain provision parliament vote final brexit deal the government promised lawmakers get meaningful vote outcome negotiations brussels decide terms britain exit future relationship bloc as currently stands vote whether accept terms deal reject walk away without deal but critics says promise vote written bill some also say give lawmakers options current take leave vote this could mean option send britain back negotiating table what happened far the bill cleared first parliamentary hurdle september two days debate lawmakers voted favor principles bill although government vote several conservatives indicated unhappy details said wanted see concessions next stage what happens next the first two days committee stage scheduled tuesday wednesday remaining six days yet scheduled any lawmaker submit changes consideration so far pages amendments submitted the list scrutinized parliament deputy speaker whistle grouped according subject the amendments considered announced start day debate the first two days focus part bill reveals european communities act retention conversion interpretation existing eu laws eu rights at end debate group amendments put vote if supported majority lawmakers changes made bill they still reversed once groups amendments debated bill reprinted include amendments passed moves next stage process which the bill subject several stages votes lower chamber upper chamber parliament the entire process take months complete target end date report stage any amendments voted house committee stage pass report stage this new opportunity add amendments the speaker house oversees process third reading this takes place immediately report stage it usually lasts hour general discussion bill followed vote no amendments made house lords the bill passes unelected upper chamber parliament house lords lords put forward amendments discussed decided turn if lords agree amendments bill passes back house commons approval ping pong if bill passes back commons debate vote lords amendments no new amendments introduced in theory bill continue passing back forth lords commons final bill agreed upon royal assent once bill agreed houses parliament given royal assent queen formally agrees make bill act parliament worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

House committee moves to cut funding for financial regulatorsWASHINGTON (Reuters) - A bill to slash funding for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Internal Revenue Service and other financial regulators passed a key committee in the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday after a long partisan fight. The expansive legislation would also place a halt on the payday lending restrictions that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau recently proposed. The Appropriations Committee voted 30-17 to approve the bill allocating funds for financial services and general government, which now goes to the full House. One of the committee’s senior Democrats, Jose Serrano of New York, warned that the “bill in its current form will be vetoed.” The Senate must still pass accompanying legislation. After that, both chambers will reconcile their bills into a single piece for President Barack Obama to sign or veto. Congress has tangled over budget laws for years, and federal agencies frequently rely on temporary continuing resolutions for funding. Republicans cast the bill as a way to streamline agencies and hold them accountable for spending decisions, while saving taxpayer money. Democrats attacked what they called “riders” to the bill, such as a measure to stop the Federal Communications Commission’s net neutrality rule and one to prevent corporations from being required to disclose political donations. They also said cuts to the SEC would hobble the agency in carrying out its duties and implementing the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform law. Earlier this month the CFPB, charged with shielding consumers from financial fraud, proposed rules to limit short-term borrowings known as “payday” loans, which can charge interest as high as 390 percent. Critics say the proposal will cut off credit to poor people who may need small loans during emergencies. Representative Steven Palazzo, a Mississippi Republican, proposed an amendment on Thursday to delay implementing the rules until the bureau reports to Congress on their possible effects, saying he was concerned they could force people to turn to loan sharks. Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz had been one of the few members of her party to oppose the rules, and had sponsored a bill to delay CFPB rules for two years. Wasserman Schultz, who is also a U.S. representative from Florida, reversed her position in the last week. She told the hearing on Thursday the proposal is “inarguably a step in the right direction,” adding, “I stand with the CFPB in its efforts to protect Americans from predatory lending.” politicsNews | 1 | house committee moves cut funding financial regulatorswashington reuters a bill slash funding securities exchange commission internal revenue service financial regulators passed key committee house representatives thursday long partisan fight the expansive legislation would also place halt panda lending restrictions consumer financial protection bureau recently proposed the appropriations committee voted approve bill allocating funds financial services general government goes full house one committee senior democrats jose servant new york warned bill current form the senate must still pass accompanying legislation after chambers reconcile bills single piece president barack obama sign veto congress tangled budget laws years federal agencies frequently rely temporary continuing resolutions funding republicans cast bill way streamline agencies hold accountable spending decisions saving taxpayer money democrats attacked called riders bill measure stop federal communications commission net neutrality rule one prevent corporations required disclose political donations they also said cuts sec would gobble agency carrying duties implementing wall street reform law earlier month cfb charged shielding consumers financial fraud proposed rules limit borrowing known panda loans charge interest high percent critics say proposal cut credit poor people may need small loans emergencies representative steven palazzo mississippi republican proposed amendment thursday delay implementing rules bureau reports congress possible effects saying concerned could force people turn loan sharks democratic national committee chair debate wasserman schultz one members party oppose rules sponsored bill delay cfb rules two years wasserman schultz also representative florida reversed position last week she told hearing thursday proposal arguably step right direction adding i stand cfb efforts protect americans predatory politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Wasserman Schultz, who is also a U.S. representative from Florida, reversed her position in the last week. She told the hearing on Thursday the proposal is “inarguably a step in the right direction,” adding, “I stand with the CFPB in its efforts to protect Americans from predatory lending.” politicsNews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Kentucky's Republican governor calls for probe of Democratic predecessorLOUISVILLE (Reuters) - Kentucky’s Republican governor on Tuesday called for an investigation into how his Democratic predecessor awarded state contracts and solicited campaign contributions, opening a new round in the feud between the two political families. Governor Matt Bevin said he has asked for the hiring of a law firm to determine whether Steve Beshear’s administration coerced state employees into donating to political campaigns. The call by Bevin comes just over a week after Beshear’s son Andy, Kentucky’s attorney general, sued Bevin in an effort to block funding cuts to public universities that he said are illegal. Bevin on Tuesday said his administration also has concerns about contracts, some issued through a no-bid process, that may have rewarded family members of Beshear’s staff. The law firm would have the ability to subpoena witnesses and records, and work closely with the state inspector general, he said. “These discoveries ... raise questions that must be answered in an open and transparent way,” Bevin, who is the just second Republican elected to the state’s highest office since 1971, said at a press conference. “Only then will the citizens of the commonwealth begin to have confidence in their government.” Beshear, who was barred from seeking reelection due to term limits, strongly denied the charges in a Facebook post. “There was never any attempt to pressure employees to make political contributions, and we followed both the spirit and the letter of procurement laws,” he said, adding Bevin’s move was a “pathetic spectacle.” Andy Beshear said Bevin was not properly pursuing the issue. The attorney general said in a statement Tuesday that he agreed issues such as no-bid contracts should be scrutinized, including a pair awarded by Bevin’s administration. “The governor is once again overstating his authority,” Beshear said, adding that the Kentucky Executive Branch Ethics Commission and not the cabinet was the appropriate agency for any such probe. Before taking office in December, Bevin called Steve Beshear’s appointment of his wife to an unpaid seat on the state horse park commission an “embarrassment.” Meanwhile, the former governor has launched a campaign against Bevin’s healthcare initiatives. politicsNews | 1 | kentucky republican governor calls probe democratic predecessorlouisville reuters kentucky republican governor tuesday called investigation democratic predecessor awarded state contracts solicited campaign contributions opening new round feud two political families governor matt begin said asked hiring law firm determine whether steve shear administration coerced state employees donating political campaigns the call begin comes week shear son andy kentucky attorney general sued begin effort block funding cuts public universities said illegal begin tuesday said administration also concerns contracts issued process may rewarded family members shear staff the law firm would ability subpoena witnesses records work closely state inspector general said these discoveries raise questions must answered open transparent way begin second republican elected state highest office since said press conference only citizens commonwealth begin confidence shear barred seeking reelection due term limits strongly denied charges facebook post there never attempt pressure employees make political contributions followed spirit letter procurement laws said adding begin move pathetic andy shear said begin properly pursuing issue the attorney general said statement tuesday agreed issues contracts scrutinized including pair awarded begin administration the governor overtaking authority shear said adding kentucky executive branch ethics commission cabinet appropriate agency probe before taking office december begin called steve shear appointment wife unpaid seat state horse park commission meanwhile former governor launched campaign begin healthcare initiatives politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Frankfurt to evacuate 60,000 people to defuse British WWII bombFRANKFURT (Reuters) - Around 60,000 inhabitants of Germany s financial capital Frankfurt will be ordered to leave their homes on Sunday while a large World War Two bomb discovered at a building site is made safe, the police said. Germany s central bank, the Bundesbank, Frankfurt s Goethe University, and at least two hospitals will also be evacuated, in one of the largest evacuations in German post-war history. The 1.4-tonne HC 4000 bomb dropped by the British air force during World War Two was uncovered on a building site on Wismarer Strasse in Frankfurt s leafy Westend where many wealthy bankers live. Bomb disposal experts who examined it said the massive evacuation could wait until the weekend.

DEMOCRAT LAWMAKER WILL BE PUNISHED For Putting Jobs Before “Climate Change”: “They are after me”Tow the party line or pay a heavy price. There is no room for dissention in a party where thugs who cut backroom deals with climate change related lobbyists in DC dictate what is best for America. There s probably a very good reason that the Democrats have an avowed Socialist and a career criminal running neck in neck in their presidential primaries In a shocking exchange on Wednesday, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Loony Liberal Senator Sheldon Whitehouse discussed whether the DOJ had considered civil action against climate change deniers. This tells you just how out of control this DOJ is. If you don t buy into the climate change scam then you will be punished. That s fine if you live in San Francisco and can afford a Tesla, said Husing. It s not fine if you re a poor family living in downtown San Bernardino and the folks that stopped that deserve a welcome thanks. What happens when a Democratic lawmaker strays from party leaders on a key piece of Gov. Jerry Brown s policy agenda? One assemblywoman who held back support for a sweeping climate-change bill last year is starting to find out.Rep. Cheryl Brown (D-San Bernardino) was among a group of business-aligned Democrats who objected to a provision in the bill, SB 350, that would have cut California s motor vehicle petroleum use in half by 2030.Now Brown, a moderate, is facing what could be a bruising reelection fight against an intraparty challenger from the left, attorney Eloise Gomez Reyes. The race raises a question: What does it mean to be a Democrat in San Bernardino, where concerns over jobs often compete with those about the environment?Some early signs indicate Brown could be in trouble. Protesters have showed up at her local events. Some of her supporters have defected, endorsing Reyes early in the fight. Do you ever feel that something is not going quite right? Brown said in a recent phone interview. They are after me, and I still don t know why. I don t know who they are. But I will find out soon. Last week, Brown s suspicions began to crystallize when a dozen students in breathing masks from San Bernardino Valley College threw themselves on the floor of a town hall meeting she hosted.Brown was there to discuss the region s logistics industry and its vast network of trucking and distribution centers, which deliver everything from headphones to heads of lettuce to big-box retailers and Amazon customers throughout Southern California.At the event, Brown supporter John Husing, an economist with the Inland Empire Economic Partnership, discussed SB 350 s scrapped petroleum provision, which was removed after Brown and other Democrats objected to its inclusion. Husing came to Brown s aid, arguing that lower-income families might have been harmed by potential rising energy costs that may have resulted from implementation of the provision. That s fine if you live in San Francisco and can afford a Tesla, said Husing.

More than 60 years on, Japan's mercury-poison victims fight to be heardMINAMATA, Japan (Reuters) - Shinobu Sakamoto was just 15 when she left her home in the southern Japanese fishing village of Minamata to go to Stockholm and tell the world of the horrors of mercury poisoning. Forty-five years on, she is traveling again, this time to Geneva, to attend from Sunday a gathering of signatories to the first global pact to rein in mercury pollution. Sakamoto is one of a shrinking group of survivors from a 1950s industrial disaster in which tens of thousands of people were poisoned after waste water from a chemical plant seeped into the Minamata bay. (Graphic link reut.rs/2jIdmUS) The waste contained a toxic organic compound, methylmercury, which can cause severe damage to the brain and nervous system, leading to a condition called Minamata disease. It gives its name to the U.N.-backed treaty that took effect last month. Symptoms worsen with age, leaving some victims grappling with the question of who will care for them after the death of siblings and parents, while others face legal disputes. If I don t say something, no one will know about Minamata disease, said Sakamoto, who is one of the few born with the disease who is still able to talk. There are still so many problems, and I want people to know. Just 528 people survive from among the 3,000 certified victims of Minamata disease, environment ministry data shows. More than 20,000 people have sought to be designated victims, hoping for legal compensation. We need to take seriously the fact that there are still many people raising their hands, said ministry official Koji Sasaki, referring to victims efforts to win recognition. Born in a family of shipbuilders whose home overlooks the Minamata bay, Jitsuko Tanaka, 64, used to play on the beach with her older sister, picking and eating shellfish, unaware it was contaminated with mercury. She was almost three, and her sister five, when they lost the ability to move their hands freely and walk properly, becoming the first to be identified as disease sufferers. Tanaka s older sister died at age eight. Tanaka survived, but the poisoning left her too weak to walk without support. A few years ago, her family says, even that became impossible. As she lay motionless in bed, her brother-in-law, a fellow sufferer, said he worried about the patients left behind when family members die. After I die, who will take care of her? asked Yoshio Shimoda, 69. Sixty-one years since Minamata disease was identified in 1956, the grim struggles have eased for only a few. Before the government named methylmercury as its cause in 1968, disease sufferers faced discrimination over fears it was contagious, which deterred many from seeking legal recognition. People still send in decades-old umbilical cords to be checked for contamination, hoping for evidence to support their claims to be designated as victims, said Hirokatsu Akagi, director of Minamata s International Mercury Laboratory. Sakamoto, poisoned while still in the womb, considers it her duty to tell the world about the dangers of mercury.

WOW! US Marine And Navy Veteran Writes BLISTERING Open Letter To Khizr Khan: “Does it matter whether Mr. Trump has ‘sacrificed’? Has Ms. Clinton ‘sacrificed’ for this nation? How about Mr. Obama?”Wow! This is a spectacular letter that should be read by every American voter. Veteran Chris Mark truly puts Mr. Khan s public ridicule of Donald Trump into perspective. Bravo Mr. Mark! PLEASE SHARE this everywhere!Dear Mr. Khan,I want to preface this letter by stating that I respect your son s sacrifice for this great nation. By all accounts, he is a true hero that sacrificed himself in service to our country. For that I am thankful.As a veteran, I watched your comments at the Democratic National Convention with a mixture of sadness, and anger. The United States has a military comprised of volunteers. Every single member has made the conscious choice to join the military and serve. There is not a single service member who has been forced into service. It is important for all service members (and apparently, their families) to understand that service to this great nation does not imbue one with special privileges or rights. I found your comments troubling when you said: Have you ever been to Arlington cemetery? Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the United States of America. You will see all faiths, genders and ethnicities. You have sacrificed nothing and no one. Does it matter whether Mr. Trump has sacrificed nothing and no one? has Ms. Clinton ..sacrificed for this nation? How about Mr. Obama? Your comment stating that Mr. Trump has sacrifice no one is alarming. Are you intimating that YOU sacrificed? Sir, your son willingly sacrificed himself. As a father I cannot imagine the pain you must feel but his sacrifice is his own. He was not forced to serve.I am troubled that you would allow a party that has little more than contempt for the US Service Member to parade you into the DNC to denounce Donald Trump. Did you watch when protesters at the DNC booed and heckled Medal of Honor recipient Capt. Florent Groberg? Did you notice your party interrupting the moment of silence for slain police officers? Your own hypocrisy in not denouncing these acts and instead using the DNC as a platform to make a political point is disgraceful. The simple fact is that whether one served or sacrificed does not give greater power to their statements. One vote is as valuable as another. That sir, is why our Country is great. Your condemnation of one person for a statement while standing idly as your party disparages veterans and police officers is the height of hypocrisy.To conflate the need to prevent potential terrorists from entering our country with the belief that all Muslims should be banned is simply wrong and disingenuous.

Has Ms. Clinton ‘sacrificed’ for this nation? How about Mr. Obama?”Wow! This is a spectacular letter that should be read by every American voter. Veteran Chris Mark truly puts Mr. Khan s public ridicule of Donald Trump into perspective. Bravo Mr. Mark! PLEASE SHARE this everywhere!Dear Mr. Khan,I want to preface this letter by stating that I respect your son s sacrifice for this great nation. By all accounts, he is a true hero that sacrificed himself in service to our country. For that I am thankful.As a veteran, I watched your comments at the Democratic National Convention with a mixture of sadness, and anger. The United States has a military comprised of volunteers. Every single member has made the conscious choice to join the military and serve. There is not a single service member who has been forced into service. It is important for all service members (and apparently, their families) to understand that service to this great nation does not imbue one with special privileges or rights. I found your comments troubling when you said: Have you ever been to Arlington cemetery? Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the United States of America. You will see all faiths, genders and ethnicities. You have sacrificed nothing and no one. Does it matter whether Mr. Trump has sacrificed nothing and no one? has Ms. Clinton ..sacrificed for this nation? How about Mr. Obama? Your comment stating that Mr. Trump has sacrifice no one is alarming. Are you intimating that YOU sacrificed? Sir, your son willingly sacrificed himself. As a father I cannot imagine the pain you must feel but his sacrifice is his own. He was not forced to serve.I am troubled that you would allow a party that has little more than contempt for the US Service Member to parade you into the DNC to denounce Donald Trump. Did you watch when protesters at the DNC booed and heckled Medal of Honor recipient Capt. Florent Groberg? Did you notice your party interrupting the moment of silence for slain police officers? Your own hypocrisy in not denouncing these acts and instead using the DNC as a platform to make a political point is disgraceful. The simple fact is that whether one served or sacrificed does not give greater power to their statements. One vote is as valuable as another. That sir, is why our Country is great. Your condemnation of one person for a statement while standing idly as your party disparages veterans and police officers is the height of hypocrisy.To conflate the need to prevent potential terrorists from entering our country with the belief that all Muslims should be banned is simply wrong and disingenuous. As a reminder, Mr. Trump said: Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life, The irony of your son s own death at the hands of these very people in Iraq should not be ignored.

Obama Signs Star Wars II Defense Bill: Hypocrisy of Blaming Trump for “Arms Race”21st Century Wire says While politicians and news media alike are accusing Trump of pushing an arms race in his December 22nd Tweet about strengthening America s nuclear capability, the Obama administration made a landmark change to the policies governing space based weapons under the guise of missile defense. Why is the mainstream media silent on what Obama just did? Not only does this potentially damage relationships with other military powers such as Russia and China but is being called a massive waste of money. Leading defence scientists said the idea that a space-based system could provide security against nuclear attack is a fantasy Tyler Durden Zero HedgeAs politicians and mainstream media blast Trump s apparently incendiary tweet regarding nuclear arms, none other than President Obama just signed legislation that, by striking a single word from longstanding US nuclear defence policy, could heighten tensions with Russia and China and launch the country on an expensive effort to build space-based defense systems.Oh the irony Following Trump s tweet The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 22, 2016The mainstream media has lambasted the president-elect for endangering the world and starting another nuclear arms race. However, that same mainstream media appears mute in their response to what President Obama just did The National Defence Authorisation Act, a year-end policy bill encompassing virtually every aspect of the US military, contained two provisions with potentially momentous consequences. As AP reports,One struck the word limited from language describing the mission of the country s homeland missile defence system. The system is said to be designed to thwart a small-scale attack by a non-superpower such as North Korea or Iran.A related provision calls for the Pentagon to start research, development, test and evaluation of space-based systems for missile defence.Together, the provisions signal that the US will seek to use advanced technology to defeat both small-scale and large-scale nuclear attacks.That could unsettle the decades-old balance of power among the major nuclear states.Huge bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress approved the policy changes over the past month, with virtually no public debate.Although the White House had earlier criticised the changes, it stopped short of threatening a veto. On Friday, Obama signed the legislation.Leading defence scientists said the idea that a space-based system could provide security against nuclear attack is a fantasy It defies the laws of physics and is not based on science of any kind, said L. David Montague, a retired president of missile systems for Lockheed and co-chair of a National Academy of Sciences panel that studied missile defence technologies at the request of Congress. Even if we darken the sky with hundreds or thousands of satellites and interceptors, there s no way to ensure against a dedicated attack, Montague said in an interview. So it s an opportunity to waste a prodigious amount of money. He called the provisions passed by Congress insanity, pure and simple. Republican Congressman Trent Franks, who introduced and shepherded the policy changes in the House, said he drew inspiration from former president Ronald Reagan s Strategic Defence Initiative of the 1980s, which was intended to use lasers and other space-based weaponry to render nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete. Known as Star Wars , the initiative cost taxpayers US$30 billion, but no system was ever deployed.Philip E. Coyle III, a former assistant secretary of defence who headed the Pentagon office responsible for testing and evaluating weapon systems, described the idea of a space-based nuclear shield as a sham . To do this would cost just gazillions and gazillions, Coyle said. The technology isn t at hand nor is the money. It s unfortunate from my point of view that the Congress doesn t see that. He added: Both Russia and China will use it as an excuse to do something that they want to do.

ILLEGAL ALIEN WHO MURDERED INNOCENT WOMAN WAS DEPORTED 3 TIMES: Obama’s Solution To Increasing Crime By Illegals…Cut Back On DeportationsBecause we don t have enough crime in our country already we need to import it from Mexico and South America.To hell with America it s all about the votes The man suspected of gunning down a young woman at random at a popular San Francisco tourist spot on Wednesday has been deported to Mexico several times, according to a report by the local ABC News affiliate. The woman, 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle ( Kate ), was struck in the chest with a bullet while visiting Pier 14 on the Embarcadero with her family. She was rushed to a nearby hospital but doctors were unable to save her, as she died in her parents arms a few hours later.The suspect, Francisco Sanchez, was identified as being in his mid-40s and on probation from Texas due to previous, undisclosed crimes. He was arrested after tips from passers-by. Officials said that the killing appeared to be random. Police believe they have recovered the murder weapon from the waters of the San Francisco Bay near the pier, where the suspect allegedly tossed it.On Thursday, two news crews filming live at Pier 14 were mugged at the scene, and one cameraman was pistol-whipped.The San Francisco Chronicle described Steinle s last moments in heartbreaking detail: She fought for her life, [Liz] Sullivan said, adding that her daughter s heart had stopped two times, and was restarted, in the ambulance. It was a battle, but she just didn t make it, she said. It was horrific, but we knew the minute they came to talk to us, it wasn t good. But it was so nice to go in and be with her. Sullivan said that in their final moments together, she softly touched her daughter s face a face she used to paint when the young woman was a little girl. We have deep faith, Jim Steinle said, adding, Our faith isn t to the point where we re ready to forgive.

We cannot allow foreign governments to reach out to anybody s campaign and say we d like to help you. That is a non-starter. I know that Donald Trump Jr. is new to politics, I know that Jared Kushner is new to politics, but, um this is gonna require a lot of uh questions to be asked and answered. MSNBC was delighted to hear Lindsey Graham questioning Trump Jr. s judgement in agreeing to take the meeting. Graham continued to express his feelings about the meeting, suggesting that Trump Jr. should have to testify about what transpired in the alleged meeting. Graham was then asked by the MSNBC reporter, Do you think the White House has been truthful about the version of events that happened and their meetings that occurred between their associates and the Russians? Graham responded, It s been very frustrating to find out every couple of weeks about a new meeting. I m sure they met with a lot of people during the campaign.

Graham responded, It s been very frustrating to find out every couple of weeks about a new meeting. I m sure they met with a lot of people during the campaign. I m sure the Clintons met with And just like magic, as soon as Hillary s name was mentioned, Graham s mic was cut!And just like that Boom! Mic cut.

Russian foreign ministry says neither confirms nor denies Tillerson visitMOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia’s Foreign Ministry declined on Tuesday to confirm or deny reported plans by U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to visit Moscow, expressing its surprise at the “regular leak” of information from Washington. Sources told Reuters on Monday Tillerson planned to skip his first meeting of the 28 NATO allies in April in order to stay home for a visit by China’s president and then go to Russia. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in response to media requests for confirmation of Tillerson’s Moscow visit that the ministry was “not prepared to confirm or deny this information”. “But we are certainly surprised by the regular leak of sensitive information from Washington,” she said in a post on Facebook. “It’s time for U.S. political elites to figure out if ‘Russian hackers’ have once again got into State Department servers or if the threat to U.S. cyber security has an American origin after all,” Zakharova said. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said later he was unaware of plans by Tillerson to visit Moscow. Skipping the NATO meeting and visiting Moscow could risk feeding a perception that Trump’s administration may be prioritizing U.S. dealings with big powers over smaller nations that depend on Washington for security. Tillerson worked with Russia’s government for years in his former role as a top executive at Exxon Mobil Corp. He has questioned the wisdom of sanctions against Russia that he said could harm U.S. businesses. politicsNews | 1 | russian foreign ministry says neither confirms denies tillerson visitmoscow reuters russia foreign ministry declined tuesday confirm deny reported plans secretary state rex tillerson visit moscow expressing surprise regular leak information washington sources told reuters monday tillerson planned skip first meeting nato allies april order stay home visit china president go russia russian foreign ministry spokeswoman maria zakharova said response media requests confirmation tillerson moscow visit ministry prepared confirm deny information but certainly surprised regular leak sensitive information washington said post facebook it time political elites figure russian hackers got state department servers threat cyber security american origin zakharova said deputy foreign minister series ryabkov said later unaware plans tillerson visit moscow skipping nato meeting visiting moscow could risk feeding perception trump administration may prioritizing dealings big powers smaller nations depend washington security tillerson worked russia government years former role top executive exon mobil corp he questioned wisdom sanctions russia said could harm businesses politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Creationist Ken Ham Is Building A $101M Noah’s Ark In Kentucky, And He Wants You To Pay For It (VIDEO/TWEETS)Australian-born Creationist Ken Ham and his fundamentalist Christian organization Answers in Genesis (AiG) are looking to build a $101m Ark Adventure in Kentucky, with the centerpiece of a reconstructed Ark. The problem is, they want you the taxpayer to pay for it.Ham, AiG and their so-called Young Earth Creationist movement believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible when it comes to the age and creation of the Earth and all life that ever inhabited it. They believe the Earth and all life was created in 6 days, by an omnipotent God, just 6,000 years ago. They believe dinosaurs and man inhabited the planet at the same time, because everything that is was created in those same 6 days. So yes, there will be a pair of dinosaurs on the ark.According to Newsweek, AiG purchased a 99-acre plot of land just outside Williamstown, Kentucky got the city for just a dollar five years ago. But since then, the project has hit one hurdle after another. Many of Ham s own making.The principal issue at stake now, is that Ham and AiG want the taxpayer to pick up the bill for around a quarter of the construction costs of the project in the form of tax rebates. The group sought to exploit subsidies provided by the state to boost tourism through the Tourism Development Incentive program. Projects of $1 million and upwards can recover 25% of project development costs by recouping their sales taxes.After much debate on their initial application, Kentucky approved the site for the scheme so long as AiG agreed to non-discriminatory hiring practices. This means, they could only recover the cash if they recruited people of all faiths and none. They could not specifically hire Creationists.A few bumps down the road later, and Ham and AiG had to significantly strip back their pans for the park. They were unable to gather together the funds and investment to create the full theme park. Due to the substantial changes to the plans, they had to resubmit their application to Kentucky for the tax rebate. This time is was denied. Why? Because apparently, honesty and integrity mean nothing to this group of creationists.Despite their reluctant agreements to get their hands on state cash, AiG had released a decidedly discriminatory recruitment policy for the Ark Adventure. The website demanded a salvation testimony and a creationist statement of faith from all prospective job applicants clearly ruling out non-believers.So now, Ken Ham and AiG are suing Kentucky for the money claiming religious discrimination. Greg Lipper, senior litigation counsel for Americans United for Separation of Church and State points out the muddled-thinking that AiG is applying in this case. AiG is confusing what they have the right to do as a private organization with what taxpayers are required to fund, They re saying Kentucky taxpayers should pay for them to expand a religious ministry. That kind of argument would make Thomas Jefferson turn in his grave. No one is telling Ham as a private citizen, who or how he can hire. It is only as a recipient of state funds, which he is free to enter or not, that he is required to follow the stipulations that would be applied to any organization or individual doing the same. Just like chances of his theory of genesis being true, Ham s chances of getting his lawsuit through are slim to none.And his Ark hasn t escaped the attention of social media users either I just realised that America's immigration policy doesn't weed out Australian Ark Building Lunatics. #kenham Gotapulse (@gotapulse) January 3, 2016If #KenHam could get a 500 yr old dude & his kids to build the Ark themselves w/o modern technology I would give the park more credit. Uncle John (@azmoderate) January 18, 2016If Ken Ham wants to replicate the trials and tribulations of biblical Noah, then he should probably cease seeking to exploit tax loopholes to make up for his lack of fundraising skills. Religious freedom requires that if a man wants to spend $101 million of his own money to build a giant ark in Kentucky he is free to do so. However, he has no right under religious freedom to expect you and I to pay for him to do so.Featured Image via YouTube ScreengrabNews | 0 | creationist ken ham is building a noah ark in kentucky and he wants you to pay for it creationist ken ham fundamentalist christian organization answers genesis big looking build ark adventure kentucky centerpiece reconstructed ark the problem want taxpayer pay big young earth creationist movement believe literal interpretation bible comes age creation earth life ever inhabited they believe earth life created days omnipotent god years ago they believe dinosaurs man inhabited planet time everything created days so yes pair dinosaurs newsweek big purchased plot land outside williamson kentucky got city dollar five years ago but since project hit one hurdle another many ham principal issue stake ham big want taxpayer pick bill around quarter construction costs project form tax debates the group sought exploit subsidies provided state boost tourism tourism development incentive program projects million upwards recover project development costs recording sales much debate initial application kentucky approved site scheme long big agreed hiring practices this means could recover cash recruited people faiths none they could specifically hire bumps road later ham big significantly strip back pans park they unable gather together funds investment create full theme park due substantial changes plans resubmit application kentucky tax rebate this time denied why because apparently honesty integrity mean nothing group reluctant agreements get hands state cash big released decidedly discriminatory recruitment policy ark adventure the website demanded salvation testimony creationist statement faith prospective job applicants clearly ruling ken ham big suing kentucky money claiming religious discrimination greg clipper senior litigation counsel americans united separation church state points big applying case big confusing right private organization taxpayers required fund they saying kentucky taxpayers pay expand religious ministry that kind argument would make thomas jefferson turn grave no one telling ham private citizen hire it recipient state funds free enter required follow stipulation would applied organization individual just like chances theory genesis true ham chances getting lawsuit slim ark escaped attention social media users either i realised america immigration policy weed australian ark building lunatic kenya gotapulse gotapulse january kenya could get yr old dude kids build ark modern technology i would give park credit uncle john moderate january ken ham wants replicate trials tribulations biblical noah probably cease seeking exploit tax loopholes make lack fundraising skills religious freedom requires man wants spend million money build giant ark kentucky free however right religious freedom expect i pay image via youtube screengrabnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Mnuchin not worried by lower U.S. tax receipts, has funding planOTTAWA (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Friday said he was not worried by lower-than-expected tax revenues, saying that he has a backup plan for funding government if Congress did not raise the debt ceiling by August. Government tax receipts for early 2017 were 3 percent lower than expected, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said in a May 5 report. “Receipts are coming in somewhat lower, and I think that’s in expectation of that we’re going to do tax reform,” Mnuchin told a news conference in Ottawa, the Canadian capital, where he met with Canadian Finance Minister Bill Morneau. “I’ve been consistent in (saying) we hope Congress deals with the debt limit as soon as possible, but in any event, we’re not concerned,” he added. The weaker tax revenues have forced the Treasury to borrow more money than expected to cover the federal budget deficit, which is putting the government on track to hit its legal debt limit sooner than it forecast, experts say. Mnuchin wants lawmakers to raise Washington’s borrowing limit before they break for a long recess in August. Asked what would happen if Congress did not act before then, he replied: “We will be fine if they (Congress) don’t do it beforehand. ... We have plans and back-up plans for funding the government.” Pressed as to what he had in mind, Mnuchin said: “They are Treasury secretary superpowers.” President Donald Trump has made tax reform one of his biggest priorities. He has proposed cutting the corporate income tax to 15 percent, down from the current top corporate rate of 35 percent, though because of loopholes few multinational companies pay that rate. “Nothing is higher on my priority list than getting tax reform done this year. ... It is critical for economic growth,” Mnuchin said. Some Canadian politicians and business leaders are concerned that if Trump cuts corporate taxes, it could make companies north of the border less competitive. “As the U.S. moves forward with their plans, we’ll make sure we understand them well to ensure our tax system stays appropriate,” said Morneau, who gave no further details. Morneau said he and Mnuchin also spoke about lumber and trade. Canada softwood lumber exports have emerged as a trade irritant ahead of talks to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement. Washington in April imposed preliminary anti-subsidy duties averaging 20 percent on imports of Canadian softwood lumber. politicsNews | 1 | mnuchin worried lower tax receipts funding planottawa reuters treasury secretary steven mnuchin friday said worried tax revenues saying backup plan funding government congress raise debt ceiling august government tax receipts early percent lower expected nonpartisan congressional budget office said may report receipts coming somewhat lower i think expectation going tax reform mnuchin told news conference ottawa canadian capital met canadian finance minister bill corneal i consistent saying hope congress deals debt limit soon possible event concerned added the weaker tax revenues forced treasury borrow money expected cover federal budget deficit putting government track hit legal debt limit sooner forecast experts say mnuchin wants lawmakers raise washington borrowing limit break long recess august asked would happen congress act replied we fine congress beforehand we plans plans funding pressed mind mnuchin said they treasury secretary president donald trump made tax reform one biggest priorities he proposed cutting corporate income tax percent current top corporate rate percent though loopholes multinational companies pay rate nothing higher priority list getting tax reform done year it critical economic growth mnuchin said some canadian politicians business leaders concerned trump cuts corporate taxes could make companies north border less competitive as moves forward plans make sure understand well ensure tax system stays appropriate said corneal gave details corneal said mnuchin also spoke lumber trade canada softwood lumber exports emerged trade irritant ahead talks negotiate north american free trade agreement washington april imposed preliminary duties averaging percent imports canadian softwood lumber politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Trump's embattled education department pick may face Senate fightWASHINGTON (Reuters) - Billionaire philanthropist Betsy DeVos, already known as one of the most controversial nominees for education secretary in U.S. history, now risks a rare congressional rejection. The deeply divided U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on Tuesday agreed to send her nomination to the full chamber for a vote, the final step in the confirmation process. But the committee’s executive session showed DeVos faces choppy waters ahead for a post for which there is typically little congressional debate or public attention. The chairman, Republican Lamar Alexander, acted as tie-breaker after all 11 Republicans voted for Republican President Donald Trump’s pick and all 11 Democrats voted against. Two Republicans - Maine’s Susan Collins and Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski - expressed grave misgivings about the charter school advocate’s limited experience with public schools. They said they voted yes only so the entire Senate can debate whether DeVos is the right fit. Murkowski said she may not support DeVos in the Senate vote. Democrats said the nomination was rushed, with DeVos providing answers they described as vague and noncommittal to hundreds of written questions only 24 hours before the vote. After many of Trump’s nominees sailed through their confirmations in recent weeks, the names currently before the Senate were meeting resistance. The Senate’s 48 Democrats only need to pull three Republicans to their side to reject DeVos’ nomination. Just nine nominees have ever been turned down by the Senate. Public opposition to DeVos is unusually fierce, said Mary Kusler, lobbyist for the National Education Association, a large union that said constituents sent 1 million emails and placed 40,000 calls to senators decrying the nomination. It was the biggest public outcry over an education secretary that Kusler has seen in her career of more than 20 years, she added. NEA and the American Federation of Teachers, another major union, say they will keep up their anti-DeVos fight during the Senate vote and expect voters will also maintain pressure. Public opinion of DeVos wobbled after her Jan. 17 hearing, where she suggested allowing guns at rural schools to fend off bear attacks. At two rallies on Tuesday in Chicago, several hundred protesters gathered to demonstrate against DeVos’ nomination. “I have one child in school, and my son will be (in school) in a little over a year,” said Chicago resident Mara Tierney, who attended a rally with her 3-year-old boy. “I want to do what I can to ensure DeVos is not confirmed.” Old-guard Republicans like former first lady Barbara Bush defended DeVos as a lifelong champion of low-income children, literacy and giving parents more choice in education. Democrats, meanwhile, blasted the nominee for supporting privatization in ways they said hurt poor students, not understanding basic education laws and issues, and courting potential conflicts of interest through her investments. politicsNews | 1 | trump embattled education department pick may face senate fightwashington reuters billionaire philanthropist bets demos already known one controversial nominees education secretary history risks rare congressional rejection the deeply divided senate health education labor pensions committee tuesday agreed send nomination full chamber vote final step confirmation process but committee executive session showed demos faces choppy waters ahead post typically little congressional debate public attention the chairman republican lamar alexander acted republicans voted republican president donald trump pick democrats voted two republicans maine susan collins alaska lisa murkowski expressed grave misgivings charter school advocate limited experience public schools they said voted yes entire senate debate whether demos right fit murkowski said may support demos senate vote democrats said nomination rushed demos providing answers described vague noncommittal hundreds written questions hours vote after many trump nominees sailed confirmation recent weeks names currently senate meeting resistance the senate democrats need pull three republicans side reject demos nomination just nine nominees ever turned senate public opposition demos unusually fierce said mary user lobbyist national education association large union said constituents sent million emails placed calls senators decaying nomination it biggest public outcry education secretary user seen career years added nea american federation teachers another major union say keep fight senate vote expect voters also maintain pressure public opinion demos cobbled hearing suggested allowing guns rural schools fend bear attacks at two rallies tuesday chicago several hundred protesters gathered demonstrate demos nomination i one child school son school little year said chicago resident mara tienne attended rally boy i want i ensure demos republicans like former first lady barbara bush defended demos lifelong champion children literacy giving parents choice education democrats meanwhile blasted nominee supporting privatization ways said hurt poor students understanding basic education laws issues courting potential conflicts interest investments politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Potential Shift: Trump Warns Israel, ‘New Settlements May Not Help Peace in Middle East’21st Century Wire says Incredibly, Donald Trump may have just thrown an executive head fake to Bibi Netanyahu.Back in December 2015 during the GOP primary campaign,the Israeli Lobby started getting very interested in Trump after he appeared to blame Israel for not securing a lasting peace agreement with the Palestinians. You could hear a pin drop in the debate hall when Trump opined: I have a real question as to whether or not both sides want to make it, Trump said, before explaining that his concerns predominantly reside with one side in particular [Israel]. Months later, and only days before the Republican Party s National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, Trump abandoned any pretence of neutrality on the Israel-Palestine issue, insisting that he was now firmly committed to supporting Israeli settlement expansion in the illegal occupied territories, as well as not recognizing a Palestinian State.At the time this was music to Netanyahu s ears, and even better for the US-based Israel Lobby who spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year to buy-off US Congressmen and Senators in for for Israel to get everything it wants and desires.And then this happened this week By Abby Phillip and Karen DeYoung Washington PostThe White House on Thursday gently warned Israel that new or expanded settlements in the West Bank may not be helpful in achieving a Middle East peace, while insisting it has no official position on settlement activity. A statement issued by press secretary Sean Spicer said that although the administration does not believe settlements are an impediment to peace, the construction of new settlements or the expansion of existing settlements beyond their current borders may not be helpful in achieving that goal. The American desire for peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians has remained unchanged for 50 years, Spicer s statement said, a reference to President Trump s insistence that a return to the Middle East negotiating table is a goal he hopes to achieve.While the statement carefully parsed it words, it marked a step away from what some Trump officials and the president s designated new ambassador to Israel have said in favor of settlements. Trump s first foreign call as president was to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and he has been sharply critical of former president Barack Obama, whom he characterized as weak on Israel.The apparent genesis of the statement was a story in Thursday s Jerusalem Post, which quoted an unnamed senior administration official telling Netanyahu s government to stop a spree of housing construction approved since Trump s inauguration, lest it interfere with Trump s plans to work toward a peace plan Continue this story at the Washington PostSEE ALSO: The Genealogy of Trump s U-Turn on PalestineREAD MORE ISRAEL NEWS AT: 21st Century Wire Israel FilesSUPPORT 21WIRE SUBSCRIBE & BECOME A MEMBER @21WIRE.TVUS_News | 0 | potential shift trump warns israel new settlements may not help peace middle east century wire says incredibly donald trump may thrown executive head fake bib december gop primary campaign israeli lobby started getting interested trump appeared blame israel securing lasting peace agreement palestinians you could hear pin drop debate hall trump opined i real question whether sides want make trump said explaining concerns predominantly reside one side particular israel months later days republican party national convention cleveland ohio trump abandoned presence neutrality issue insisting firmly committed supporting israeli settlement expansion illegal occupied territories well recognizing palestinian time music netanyahu ears even better israel lobby spend hundreds millions dollars year us congressmen senators israel get everything wants happened week by abbr phillip karen young washington postage white house thursday gently warned israel new expanded settlements west bank may helpful achieving middle east peace insisting official position settlement activity a statement issued press secretary sean spider said although administration believe settlements impediment peace construction new settlements expansion existing settlements beyond current borders may helpful achieving goal the american desire peace israeli palestinians remained unchanged years spider statement said reference president trump insistence return middle east negotiating table goal hopes statement carefully parsed words marked step away trump officials president designated new ambassador israel said favor settlements trump first foreign call president israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu sharply critical former president barack obama characterized weak apparent genesis statement story thursday jerusalem post quoted unnamed senior administration official telling netanyahu government stop spree housing construction approved since trump inauguration lest interfere trump plans work toward peace plan continue story washington poster also the genealogy trump palestineread more israel news at century wire israel filessupport subscribe become a member | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

CAN YOU HEAR HIM NOW? President Trump Doubles Down: Condemns ‘Evil’ KKK, White Supremacists, Neo-Nazis [Video and Transcript]President Trump condemned hate groups today AGAIN! Yes, it seems the left didn t hear the president the first time around. They needed their own special speech but they ll still find something to complain about. Allowing Trump to be a good guy just doesn t fit their narrative. No matter how beautiful the speech was today, the Democrats will continue the rhetoric against Trump The last thing they want is a united America THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. I m in Washington today to meet with my economic team about trade policy and major tax cuts and reform. We are renegotiating trade deals and making them good for the American worker. And it s about time.Our economy is now strong. The stock market continues to hit record highs, unemployment is at a 16-year low, and businesses are more optimistic than ever before. Companies are moving back to the United States and bringing many thousands of jobs with them. We have already created over one million jobs since I took office.We will be discussing economic issues in greater detail later this afternoon, but, based on the events that took place over the weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, I would like to provide the nation with an update on the ongoing federal response to the horrific attack and violence that was witnessed by everyone.I just met with FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The Department of Justice has opened a civil rights investigation into the deadly car attack that killed one innocent American and wounded 20 others. To anyone who acted criminally in this weekend s racist violence, you will be held fully accountable. Justice will be delivered.As I said on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America.And as I have said many times before: No matter the color of our skin, we all live under the same laws, we all salute the same great flag, and we are all made by the same almighty God. We must love each other, show affection for each other, and unite together in condemnation of hatred, bigotry, and violence. We must rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.We are a nation founded on the truth that all of us are created equal. We are equal in the eyes of our Creator. We are equal under the law. And we are equal under our Constitution. Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America.Two days ago, a young American woman, Heather Heyer, was tragically killed. Her death fills us with grief, and we send her family our thoughts, our prayers, and our love.We also mourn the two Virginia state troopers who died in service to their community, their commonwealth, and their country. Troopers Jay Cullen and Burke Bates exemplify the very best of America, and our hearts go out to their families, their friends, and every member of American law enforcement.These three fallen Americans embody the goodness and decency of our nation. In times such as these, America has always shown its true character: responding to hate with love, division with unity, and violence with an unwavering resolve for justice.As a candidate, I promised to restore law and order to our country, and our federal law enforcement agencies are following through on that pledge. We will spare no resource in fighting so that every American child can grow up free from violence and fear. We will defend and protect the sacred rights of all Americans, and we will work together so that every citizen in this blessed land is free to follow their dreams in their hearts, and to express the love and joy in their souls.Thank you.

EU lawmakers propose cuts in aid to Turkey tied to membership bidSTRASBOURG (Reuters) - The European Parliament proposed on Wednesday to reduce EU funds to Turkey that are linked to its stalled bid to join the bloc, a call EU leaders are expected to back given a deteriorating relations with Ankara. Of the 217 million euros set to go to Turkey for reforms, infrastructure and agriculture in 2018, EU lawmakers agreed to cut up to 80 million euros. Of that, 50 million euros should be cut at first, with a further 30-million-euro reduction if Turkey does not improve its human rights record. Turkey is not respecting freedom of speech, freedom of expression, human rights and is drifting further away from European democratic standards, said centre-right lawmaker Siegfried Muresan, who led the budget discussions. We cannot pretend we don t see that, he told Reuters, emphasizing that the cuts would affect only the money earmarked for political reforms, not for infrastructure and farming. EU leaders must still sign off on the cuts but are expected to do so after an agreement at a summit last week to reduce the so-called pre-accession aid that is meant to help EU candidate countries prepare for membership. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who pressed for action on Turkey during her re-election campaign, described Turkish behavior on human rights as unacceptable in Brussels last Thursday. The European Parliament s decision came on the first day of the trial in Istanbul of 11 human rights activists in Turkey, including a German and a Swedish national. At the EU summit, Merkel said that the rule of law in Turkey was moving in the wrong direction , in a reference to the large-scale purge that President Tayyip Erdogan has carried out following a failed coup attempt in July 2016. While the EU condemned the coup attempt, the scope of Erdogan s response, his detention of U.S. and European citizens including dual nationals, and his jibes at Germany for what he has called Nazi-like behavior have soured EU-Turkey ties. Erdogan says the purges across society are necessary to maintain stability in a NATO country bordering Iraq and Syria. Launched in 2005 after decades of seeking the formal start of an EU membership bid, Ankara s membership negotiations were always sensitive for France and Germany because of Turkey s status as a large, mainly Muslim country. They are not officially frozen, despite calls from Austria to formally scrap Turkey s EU membership program. That is in part because the EU relies on Ankara to take in Syrian refugees in return for billions of euros of aid. But a majority of EU countries, led by Germany and the Netherlands, say it no longer makes sense to fund political reforms in Turkey when formal EU membership talks have not taken place since last year. Aside from money that the EU gives Turkey as part of its 2016 migration deal, Ankara was set to receive 4.4 billion euros from the EU between 2014 and 2020. Some EU governments want that money to go to non-governmental groups in Turkey, not to Ankara. worldnews | 1 | eu lawmakers propose cuts aid turkey tied membership bidstrasbourg reuters the european parliament proposed wednesday reduce eu funds turkey linked stalled bid join bloc call eu leaders expected back given deteriorating relations kara of million euros set go turkey reforms infrastructure agriculture eu lawmakers agreed cut million euros of million euros cut first reduction turkey improve human rights record turkey respecting freedom speech freedom expression human rights drifting away european democratic standards said lawmaker siegfried muresan led budget discussions we pretend see told reuters emphasizing cuts would affect money earmarked political reforms infrastructure farming eu leaders must still sign cuts expected agreement summit last week reduce aid meant help eu candidate countries prepare membership german chancellor angela merkel pressed action turkey campaign described turkish behavior human rights unacceptable brussels last thursday the european parliament decision came first day trial istanbul human rights activists turkey including german swedish national at eu summit merkel said rule law turkey moving wrong direction reference purge president tayyip erdogan carried following failed coup attempt july while eu condemned coup attempt scope erdogan response detention european citizens including dual nationals vibes germany called behavior sourced ties erdogan says purges across society necessary maintain stability nato country bordering iraq syria launched decades seeking formal start eu membership bid kara membership negotiations always sensitive france germany turkey status large mainly muslim country they officially frozen despite calls austria formally scrap turkey eu membership program that part eu relies kara take syrian refugees return billions euros aid but majority eu countries led germany netherlands say longer makes sense fund political reforms turkey formal eu membership talks taken place since last year aside money eu gives turkey part migration deal kara set receive billion euros eu some eu governments want money go groups turkey kara worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

At least 4,000 migrants, including pregnant women, newborn babies and unaccompanied children, have been transferred from informal camps and housing to a hangar in the city since the clashes ended on Friday, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said. The U.N. refugee agency, UNHCR, said some 6,000 had been held at the informal sites. Hundreds of migrants who had left Sabratha arrived in Zuwara, about 25 km (15 miles) to the west, on foot along the beach, said Sadeeq Al-Jayash, head of Zuwara s emergency committee. They come walking in groups ... for example there were various groups that came on Sunday 50, then 100 and 200 at night, said Jayash. There were about 1,700 migrants currently in Zuwara in desperate need of help , he said. Sabratha has been the most common point of departure for mostly sub-Saharan African migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean by boat from Libya. But the number of crossings dropped sharply in July after an armed group struck a deal with officials from the U.N.-backed government in Tripoli to block departures, under pressure from Italy and other European Union member states. That set off three weeks of fighting among rival factions that left at least 43 dead and 340 wounded, according to a new health ministry toll, and ended with the withdrawal of the armed group. The migrants who have since been rounded up were being held at sites that the group had controlled, local officials said. We are seriously concerned by the large number of migrants caught up in recent developments in Sabratha, Othman Belbeisi, IOM Libya chief of mission, said in a statement. Some migrants are being sent on to detention centers elsewhere in western Libya that are nominally under the control of the Tripoli government. IOM officials say those centers, which were housing some 5,000 migrants, risk being overwhelmed by the new arrivals. Conditions in the centers are often dire and abuse widespread. Alternatives to detention must be found for migrants in Libya. In the meantime, IOM continues to provide direct humanitarian, health and psychosocial assistance to meet the urgent needs of the thousands of migrants being affected, Belbeisi said. Local sources have previously said that an estimated 10,000 migrants were being held in the Sabratha area. The head of Sabratha s department for countering illegal migration told Reuters on Saturday that help was badly needed as some migrants had received no food or water for six days. The UNHCR said it had approached Libyan authorities to ensure that refugees among the migrants were freed from detention. worldnews | 1 | assisting thousands migrants libyan smuggling reuters agencies said monday trying provide urgent help large numbers migrants held stranded smuggling hub sabbath rival factions battled control city at least migrants including pregnant women newborn babies unaccompanied children transferred informal camps housing hangar city since clashes ended friday international organization migration iom said the refugee agency under said held informal sites hundreds migrants left sabbath arrived zuwara km miles west foot along beach said sadeeq head zuwara emergency committee they come walking groups example various groups came sunday night said jays there migrants currently zuwara desperate need help said sabbath common point departure mostly african migrants trying cross mediterranean boat libya but number crossings dropped sharply july armed group struck deal officials government triple block departures pressure italy european union member states that set three weeks fighting among rival factions left least dead wounded according new health ministry toll ended withdrawal armed group the migrants since rounded held sites group controlled local officials said we seriously concerned large number migrants caught recent developments sabbath than belbeisi iom libya chief mission said statement some migrants sent detention centers elsewhere western libya nominally control triple government iom officials say centers housing migrants risk overwhelmed new arrivals conditions centers often dire abuse widespread alternatives detention must found migrants libya in meantime iom continues provide direct humanitarian health psychosocial assistance meet urgent needs thousands migrants affected belbeisi said local sources previously said estimated migrants held sabbath area the head sabbath department countering illegal migration told reuters saturday help badly needed migrants received food water six days the under said approached libyan authorities ensure refugees among migrants freed detention worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Trump remittance plan would violate Mexican rights: Mexico cenbankMEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Donald Trump’s proposal to force Mexico to pay for his planned border wall by threatening to block remittances from illegal immigrants would be a major violation of Mexicans’ rights, Mexico’s central bank governor said on Tuesday. The Republican presidential hopeful’s campaign said last week that if elected in November, Trump would use a U.S. anti-terrorism law to cut off such money transfers unless Mexico made a one-time payment of $5 billion to $10 billion for the wall. However, speaking in Mexico’s Congress, Mexican Central Bank Governor Agustin Carstens dismissed the idea. “The remittances are the property of the people that make them, and they have every right to be able to carry out international transfers,” Carstens told reporters. “So it would be a serious violation of the property rights of our fellow citizens abroad, and this measure would be completely unjust.” politicsNews | 1 | trump resistance plan would violate mexican rights mexico cenbankmexico city reuters donald trump proposal force mexico pay planned border wall threatening block remittances illegal immigrants would major violation mexican rights mexico central bank governor said tuesday the republican presidential hopeful campaign said last week elected november trump would use law cut money transfers unless mexico made payment billion billion wall however speaking mexico congress mexican central bank governor austin castes dismissed idea the remittances property people make every right able carry international transfers castes told reporters so would serious violation property rights fellow citizens abroad measure would completely politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Nine killed as burqa-clad Taliban attack Pakistani collegePESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistani Taliban gunmen disguised in all-enveloping burqas stormed the campus of an agricultural college in Pakistan on Friday, killing at least nine people and wounding 35, police and hospital officials said. Police and army troops summoned to the scene killed all of the attackers at the Agriculture Training Institute in the northwestern city of Peshawar about two hours into the attack, the military s press wing said. The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility, saying in a message from spokesman Mohammad Khorasani that they had targeted a safe house of the military s Inter-Services Intelligence agency. The gunmen arrived at the campus in an auto-rickshaw, disguised in the burqas worn by many women in the region, Peshawar police chief Tahir Khan said. They shot and wounded a guard before entering the campus, he said. A wounded student, Ahteshan ul-Haq, told Reuters the university hostel usually houses nearly 400 students, but most had gone home for a long holiday weekend and only about 120 students remained. We were sleeping when we heard gunshots. I got up and within seconds everybody was running and shouting the Taliban have attacked , he said. The Pakistani Taliban later released a video showing the attack, recorded with what appeared to be a body-mounted camera. In it, one of the gunmen raced into a building shouting Allahu Akbar! and firing his weapon as he went room to room searching for students. The militants also issued photos of the attackers, who they said were from nearby Swat Valley, singing with the movement s fugitive leader, Mullah Fazlullah, before their mission. Shehzad Akbar, medical director of Hayatabad Medical Complex, said six people died of their wounds and 18 were being treated. Another three people died at Khyber Teaching Hospital and 17 wounded were there, director Nekdad Afridi said. In December 2014, Pakistani Taliban gunmen killed 134 children at Peshawar s Army Public School, one of the single deadliest attacks in the country s history. The Pakistani Taliban are fighting to topple the government and install a strict interpretation of Islamic law. They are loosely allied with the Afghan Taliban insurgents who ruled most of Afghanistan until they were overthrown by U.S.-backed military action in 2001. worldnews | 1 | nine killed taliban attack pakistani collegepeshawar pakistan reuters pakistani taliban gunmen disguised burial stormed campus agricultural college pakistan friday killing least nine people wounding police hospital officials said police army troops summoned scene killed attackers agriculture training institute northwestern city peshawar two hours attack military press wing said the pakistani taliban claimed responsibility saying message spokesman mohammad khorasani targeted safe house military intelligence agency the gunmen arrived campus disguised burial worn many women region peshawar police chief this khan said they shot wounded guard entering campus said a wounded student ahteshan told reuters university hostel usually houses nearly students gone home long holiday weekend students remained we sleeping heard gunshot i got within seconds everybody running shouting taliban attacked said the pakistani taliban later released video showing attack recorded appeared camera in one gunmen raced building shouting alla abbr firing weapon went room room searching students the militants also issued photos attackers said nearby seat valley singing movement fugitive leader sulla fazlullah mission shehzad abbr medical director hayatabad medical complex said six people died wounds treated another three people died cyber teaching hospital wounded director needed africa said in december pakistani taliban gunmen killed children peshawar army public school one single deadliest attacks country history the pakistani taliban fighting topple government install strict interpretation islamic law they loosely allied afghan taliban insurgents ruled afghanistan overthrown military action worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Trump’s Billionaire Neighbor Could Enter Race, And Split The Vote For A Trump WinA fellow multi-billionaire from New York and neighbor to none other than Donald Trump has already laid the groundwork for entering into the 2016 presidential race. That person is Michael Bloomberg and this time, he s not only flirting with the possibility, but he s also considering throwing in $1 billion of his own money to make it happen. While that may be a lot of dough for the Donald (a sizeable percentage at least) for Bloomberg, it s practically nothing.The former Mayor of New York is no stranger to politics, either, having served in the position for 11 years, and he s worth an estimated $37.2 billion. That makes him the 12th richest person in the world today, according to Forbes. If anyone could make a dent in the race, it s him.He would have to run as an independent, for sure, and while the chances of him winning would be slim to none taking that path, here s what s more important: Bloomberg entering the race would be a straight-up disaster for Democrats, to say the least. And, it makes you start to think along these terms; is a billionaire going to buy the presidency this go around, for a fellow New York billionaire?Mr. Bloomberg says he would be in it to win it, but let s look at the numbers: The Washington Examiner did a poll already on this and had Trump winning in a three-way race if Clinton gets the nomination. Trump would receive around 37 percent of the vote to Clinton s 36 percent while Bloomberg would only tally 13 percent. While it s possible there could still be a Clinton win within the margin of error, it opens up a path for a Trump win, period. Just giving Trump a possible win is enough to make this scary.The elections department at the Huffington Post has a vast array of polls pitting Clinton against Trump, going back months. Guess what, Clinton has won in a head to head matchup against the Donald in 23 out of the last 28 conducted. That s an overwhelming amount. It s safe the say that having an independent of Bloomberg s stature running is something Democrats would rather end up avoiding.Why Bloomberg thinks he would have a chance in this thing, other than to hand the presidency over to the GOP is beyond us. But according to several sources in his camp, he s apparently hoping that Bernie Sanders takes some key early states, at which case he could step in around an early March time frame. If Bernie takes momentum away from Clinton, Bloomberg thinks he has a chance. Here s what that tells us: Bloomberg could take even more votes away from the Democratic Party he thinks anyways than he would from the Republican Party were Sanders to win the nomination. That doesn t look good, either.His record backs that up, too: he s pro-gun control, pro-abortion, recognizes climate control is a huge problem, is for immigration reform; in practically every social view he leans to the left. The only thing that hurts him with Democrats is the fact that he has close ties to Wall Street and has a lot of business views that aren t exactly great for poor people.Even Trump wouldn t mind Bloomberg jumping in. The New York Times even made it the title of their latest article announcing the news: Donald Trump Would Love to See Michael Bloomberg Run. I would love to see Michael run I would love the competition. I d love to see what would happen. (We run) different kinds of business, it s a very different kind of business, but I would say that if he ran, I d be very happy about it. He s not the only one either who sees Bloomberg running as a gold mine for Trump. Alan Patricof, a financier and longtime donor to the Clintons, said it would be a terrible thing for the Democratic Party if the former Mayor decides to run as an independent. If it was President Trump or President Bloomberg, I d certainly rather have President Bloomberg. But, it certainly can t help the Democrats. Mr. Patricof might prefer Bloomberg, but that doesn t mean Bloomberg would come out ahead. Ari Fleischer, a former White House Press Secretary for President George W. Bush says this would be a godsend for his party. Bloomberg s entry into the race would be a dream come true for Republicans. He would draw mostly from the Democratic column. I hope he runs. If there s one thing we know, Bloomberg is no idiot. If he enters the race, he must know he d only be doing a favor for Trump. And, that on the face of it, doesn t make him an enemy of Donald Trump. If anything, it would make them best friends, no matter what they d like voters to think of their relationship to one another.Featured image via WikipediaNews | 0 | trump billionaire neighbor could enter race and split the vote for a trump win fellow new york neighbor none donald trump already laid groundwork entering presidential race that person michael bloomberg time flirting possibility also considering throwing billion money make happen while may lot dough donald sizeable percentage least bloomberg practically former mayor new york stranger politics either served position years worth estimated billion that makes richest person world today according forbes if anyone could make dent race would run independent sure chances winning would slim none taking path important bloomberg entering race would disaster democrats say least and makes start think along terms billionaire going buy presidency go around fellow new york billionaire mr bloomberg says would win let look numbers the washington examiner poll already trump winning race clinton gets nomination trump would receive around percent vote clinton percent bloomberg would tally percent while possible could still clinton win within margin error opens path trump win period just giving trump possible win enough make elections department huffington post vast array polls pitting clinton trump going back months guess clinton head head matchup donald last conducted that overwhelming amount it safe say independent bloomberg stature running something democrats would rather end bloomberg thinks would chance thing hand presidency gop beyond us but according several sources camp apparently hoping bernie sanders takes key early states case could step around early march time frame if bernie takes momentum away clinton bloomberg thinks chance here tells us bloomberg could take even votes away democratic party thinks anyways would republican party sanders win nomination that look good record backs control recognizes climate control huge problem immigration reform practically every social view leans left the thing hurts democrats fact close ties wall street lot business views exactly great poor trump mind bloomberg jumping the new york times even made title latest article announcing news donald trump would love see michael bloomberg run i would love see michael run i would love competition i love see would happen we run different kinds business different kind business i would say ran i happy he one either sees bloomberg running gold mine trump alan patrick financier longtime donor clinton said would terrible thing democratic party former mayor decides run independent if president trump president bloomberg i certainly rather president bloomberg but certainly help democrats patrick might prefer bloomberg mean bloomberg would come ahead ari fletcher former white house press secretary president george bush says would godsend party bloomberg entry race would dream come true republicans he would draw mostly democratic column i hope runs if one thing know bloomberg idiot if enters race must know favor trump and face make enemy donald trump if anything would make best friends matter like voters think relationship one image via wikipedians | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

BUMBLING BILL CLINTON Manages To Insult Poland And Hungary [Video]The Clinton Campaign just managed to commit the biggest blunder of the presidential race yet! Bill needs a hobby!

BIG BROTHER: IRS Using Secret Cellphone Tracking SystemsThis is Orwellian stuff The IRS is spying on you-how crazy is that? Secret cellphone tracking systems are being used by the IRS when they had previously been used only by law enforcement. Does this tell you anything more about how the IRS has gotten way too snoopy and way too political since they were caught red handed withholding tax exempt status from conservative groups. Two top senators are probing use by the Internal Revenue Service of secret cellphone tracking systems that are more often utilized by federal or local law enforcement agencies. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen admitted this week that the agency does use the technology, known as cell-site simulators, or StingRays. The admission came after a report by The Guardian that indicated the IRS has spent more than $71,000 to upgrade a version of the device and to receive training from a company that manufactures the devices. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and ranking member Patrick Leahy on Thursday sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew demanding answers about the use of the technology by the IRS. We were surprised to learn that IRS investigators may be using these devices, Mr. Grassley, Iowa Republican, and Mr. Leahy, Vermont Democrat, wrote in the letter. While the devices can be useful tools for identifying the location of a suspect s cell phone or identifying an unknown cell phone, we have previously expressed concerns about the privacy implications of these devices.

The Satanic Temple Trolls Anti-Abortion Fanatics Into Stunned Silence (VIDEOS)One of the greatest institutions in America right now is the Satanic Temple. Their mission is simple: Mock, troll and thwart conservative Christian encroachment into our lives. To this end, the Detroit chapter of the church took to the streets of Ferndale and Detroit dressed unconventionally to expose the creepy obsession the pro-life movement has with fetuses:According to the Temple s Detroit chapter leader, Jex Blackmore, the anti-choice movement s obsession with, and mischaracterization of the fetus obscures medical reality and a woman s constitutional right to choice. The group dressed in baby masks and diapers, replete with BDSM gear, bottles and baby powder.Watch the really funny but reeeealllly creepy videos: Sooooooooo yeah. That actually happened. BDSM babies being flogged for their sins? I dunno. But the leader of the group, Jex Blackmore, refers to the attacks on Planned Parenthood as fetal idolatry which might possibly be the best description I ve ever heard. The fact is, the (mostly) conservative Christian fight against abortion is centered around protecting the fetus until the second it s out of the womb. Then the little moocher and its taker mother are on their own. Don t come asking for food, clothes, healthcare, schooling or anything else! The pro-life movement doesn t have time for any of that! They re on a mission from god to save babies from abortion!Worship the fetus, ignore the baby. If that s not fetal idolatry, I don t know what is. Here s how Blackmore describes it:The Satanic Temple (TST) believes that the anti-choice movement s obsession with, and mischaracterization of the fetus obscures medical reality and a woman s constitutional right to choice. Enlarged images of fetuses which are no larger than an inch and the personalization of mindless, senseless human embryos elevates the fetus to the status of a demigod. The strategy of elevating tiny human em br yos and fetuses to a rever ence creates a fantasy in which the maternal body is both erased and criminalized.All I have to say to that is, Hail Satan!

LIST OF 24 REPUBLICANS Who Voted “YES” To KEEP Obama’s Taxpayer-Funded Sex-Change Surgeries In Place For Transgenders In MilitaryIf you re not okay with taxpayers paying for exorbitant medical costs, including transgender surgeries for military members, you ll want to remember these names in 2018 A majority in the House voted down a proposal to restrict funding for transgender members of the military, standing by social policy changes enacted by the Pentagon under former President Barack Obama.Rep. Vicky Hartzler, R-Mo., succeeded in forcing a vote, arguing that Obama s transgender decision is costly in dollars and short on common sense. The attempted rollback failed on a 209-214 vote, however, as 24 Republicans joined a unanimous Democratic caucus in opposing the proposal. The Obama transgender policy, which was implemented without input from members of Congress, is ill-conceived and contrary to our goals of increasing troop readiness and investing defense dollars into addressing budget shortfalls of the past, Hartzler said in June. By recruiting and allowing transgender individuals to serve in our military we are subjecting taxpayers to high medical costs including up to $130,000 per transition surgery, lifetime hormone treatments, and additional surgeries to address the high percentage of individuals who experience complications. Her amendment would have barred the Defense Department from provid[ing] medical treatment (other than mental health treatment) related to gender transition to members of the military. Proponents of transgender military service argued that her proposal would reduce military readiness by discouraging transgender Americans from serving. It would have a negative impact on morale, a negative impact on retention and move us away from the merit-based system which we now have, where we have one set of rules applied to everybody, Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., who co-chairs the LGBT Equality Caucus, said Wednesday.Hartzler maintained that her amendment would increase readiness, however. The deployability of individuals going through the sex transition process is highly problematic, requiring 210 to 238 work days where a soldier is non-deployable after surgery, she said. This recovery time equates to 1.4 million manpower days where transgender personnel cannot deploy and fight our nation s wars, therefore relying on an already stressed force to pick up the burden. It makes no sense to purposely recruit individuals who cannot serve. Washington ExaminerHere s the list of 24 Republicans who voted to keep Obama s transgender policy for our military in place that was implemented without input from members of Congress:Justin Amash (Michigan)Jack Bergman (Michigan)Mike Coffman (Colorado)Barbara Comstock (Virginia)Paul Cook (California)Ryan Costello (Pennsylvania)Carlos Curbelo (Florida)Jeff Denham (California)Charlie Dent (Pennsylvania)John Faso (New York)Brian Fitzpatrick (Pennsylvania)Darrell Issa (California)John Katko (New York)Steve Knight (California)Leonard Lance (New Jersey)Frank LoBiondo (New Jersey)Tom MacArthur (New Jersey)Brian Mast (Florida)Tom Reed (New York)Dave Reichert (Washington)Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Florida)Bill Shuster (Pennsylvania)Elise Stefanik (New York)Claudia Tenney (New York)h/t Truth Divisionpolitics | 0 | list of republicans who voted yes to keep obama surgeries in place for transgender in military okay taxpayers paying exorbitant medical costs including transgender surgeries military members want remember names a majority house voted proposal restrict funding transgender members military standing social policy changes enacted pentagon former president barack ricky hartzler succeeded forcing vote arguing obama transgender decision costly dollars short common sense the attempted rollback failed vote however republicans joined unanimous democratic caucus opposing proposal the obama transgender policy implemented without input members congress contrary goals increasing troop readiness investing defense dollars addressing budget shortfall past hartzler said june by recruiting allowing transgender individuals serve military subjective taxpayers high medical costs including per transition surgery lifetime hormone treatments additional surgeries address high percentage individuals experience complications her amendment would barred defense department provide ing medical treatment mental health treatment related gender transition members military proponents transgender military service argued proposal would reduce military readiness discouraging transgender americans serving it would negative impact morale negative impact retention move us away system one set rules applied everybody jared polis lgbt equality caucus said maintained amendment would increase readiness however the deployability individuals going sex transition process highly problematic requiring work days soldier surgery said this recovery time equates million manpower days transgender personnel deploy fight nation wars therefore relying already stressed force pick burden it makes sense purposely recruit individuals serve washington examinerhere list republicans voted keep obama transgender policy military place implemented without input members congress justin smash michigan jack began michigan mike hoffman colorado barbara comstock virginia paul cook california ryan constell pennsylvania carlos curbelo florida jeff denial california charlie dent pennsylvania john faso new york brian fitzpatrick pennsylvania barrel issn california john ratio new york steve knight california leonard lance new jersey frank lobiondo new jersey tom macarthur new jersey brian mast florida tom reed new york dave richest washington clean florida bill shutter pennsylvania else stefan new york claudia tennis new york truth divisionpolitics | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

WATCH KARMA IN ACTION: CNN GETS HIT With Tear Gas While Defending Violent Alt-Left Protesters At AZ Trump RallyThe timing couldn t have been better. Just as Gary Tuckman, a reporter for Very Fake News CNN, was in the middle of a hit piece on President Trump, he was literally hit with tear gas being used by law enforcement to keep the radical Alt-Left protesters from harming innocent people who came to support our president at his Phoenix, AZ rally last night.Very Fake News CNN s Gary Tuckman, can be seen clearly struggling to speak to CNN host Don Lemon in the video below.Tuckman told Very Fake News CNN host Don Lemon, All of our faces are burning, all of our throats are burning. He also relayed what was very likely bad intel, to Lemon: There were some water bottles thrown at police and the next thing we felt were the burning tear gas. But how does Tuckman know they were they bottles filled with water? The radical, and very violent Antifa group that CNN is working so hard to redefine as a kinder, gentler resistance group, was accused of throwing bottles of urine at free speech advocates and law enforcement in Charlottesville less than 2 weeks ago. So how does Tuckman know for certain that the bottles the non-violent group he is so quick to defend, were only filled with water? And since when is lobbing ANYTHING at police officers who are protecting our president and his supporters considered NON-violent?Earlier in the evening, another CNN reporter nearly got hit by the lit end of a smoke grenade.CNN may want to rethink this whole bunkering with Antifa thing during what appears to be ongoing, violent protests by the Democrat Partys Soros funded Alt-Left groups.The Alt-Left came prepared last night, as they were seen proudly displaying their AR-15 s.left-news | 0 | watch karma in action cnn gets hit with tear gas while defending violent protesters at az trump rallythe timing better just gary tuckman reporter very fake news cnn middle hit piece president trump literally hit tear gas used law enforcement keep radical protesters harming innocent people came support president phoenix az rally last fake news cnn gary tuckman seen clearly struggling speak cnn host don lemon video told very fake news cnn host don lemon all faces burning throats burning he also relayed likely bad intel lemon there water bottles thrown police next thing felt burning tear gas but tuckman know bottles filled water the radical violent anti group cnn working hard redefine kinder gentle resistance group accused throwing bottles urine free speech advocates law enforcement charlottesville less weeks ago so tuckman know certain bottles group quick defend filled water and since lobbying anything police officers protecting president supporters considered earlier evening another cnn reporter nearly got hit lit end smoke may want rethink whole bickering anti thing appears ongoing violent protests democrat party sorts funded came prepared last night seen proudly displaying | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Factbox: Trump adviser from Wall Street backs U.S. bank breakupsWASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) executive and White House adviser Gary Cohn shocked more than a few of his former Wall Street colleagues this week when he showed support for reinstating a Depression-era law that would break up the biggest U.S. banks. Here are some details about the law, called the Glass-Steagall Act, and why it has returned to the spotlight: WHAT IS GLASS-STEAGALL: Originally passed as part of the U.S. Banking Act of 1933, Glass-Steagall established a firewall between commercial and investment banking activity. The law was whittled away over time as banks gained permission to engage in more trading activity, and was repealed altogether in 1999 with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. WHO SUPPORTS IT?: Since the 2008 financial crisis, Glass-Steagall has become a calling card for politicians eager to crack down on Wall Street. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren frequently invokes it, and Senator Bernie Sanders made it a major part of his presidential campaign. President Donald Trump also seized on the policy during his campaign. WHAT DOES THE WHITE HOUSE SAY?: The Trump administration has not backed away from his campaign stance, but there are questions about how aggressively the president will push for a new law. The issue only tends to come up when officials are asked about it. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he supported a modern version of Glass-Steagall in response to a question during his confirmation hearing. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said the White House supports the proposal when asked by reporters. Cohn responded favorably when asked by Warren at a private meeting with senators. WHAT WOULD A NEW GLASS-STEAGALL LOOK LIKE?: There are number of ideas to create what some refer to as a “21st Century Glass-Steagall.” Warren has proposed splitting commercial and investment banking, and also barring depository institutions from using modern financial instruments like derivatives. Thomas Hoenig, the vice chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, has proposed a similar split, and would subject banks to a higher, 10 percent capital requirement. Neel Kashkari, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, would force big banks to take on so much capital they would prefer to split into smaller institutions. COULD IT HAPPEN?: Although many Wall Street critics have seized on Glass-Steagall, efforts to change the law have garnered very little support. Warren’s proposal received just a handful of legislative co-sponsors. And because Congress and the White House are still consumed with complex fights over health care and tax reform, there seems to be little appetite for a broad, controversial overhaul of the financial system. ARE THERE RISKS FOR BANKS?: Big U.S. lenders including JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N), Bank of America Corp (BAC.N) and Citigroup (C.N) would be most impacted, because their commercial lending and investment banking operations are closely intertwined, say analysts. Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) and Morgan Stanley (MS.N) might be less impacted, although they would likely have to revert to being standalone investment banks and shed their deposit funding. But even if Glass-Steagall does not become law, the industry may have to spend money, time and energy lobbying against the idea, when they would rather focus on rolling back existing rules. politicsNews | 1 | factor trump adviser wall street backs bank breakupswashington reuters former goldman sachs group inc executive white house adviser gary con shocked former wall street colleagues week showed support reinstating law would break biggest banks here details law called act returned spotlight what is originally passed part banking act established firewall commercial investment banking activity the law whistle away time banks gained permission engage trading activity repealed altogether act who supports it since financial crisis become calling card politicians eager crack wall street democratic senator elizabeth warren frequently invokes senator bernie sanders made major part presidential campaign president donald trump also seized policy campaign what does the white house say the trump administration backed away campaign stance questions aggressively president push new law the issue tends come officials asked treasury secretary steven mnuchin said supported modern version response question confirmation hearing white house press secretary sean spider said white house supports proposal asked reporters con responded favorably asked warren private meeting senators what would a new look like there number ideas create refer century warren proposed splitting commercial investment banking also barring depository institutions using modern financial instruments like derivatives thomas hoping vice chair federal deposit insurance corporation proposed similar split would subject banks higher percent capital requirement need kashkari president federal reserve bank minneapolis would force big banks take much capital would prefer split smaller institutions could it happen although many wall street critics seized efforts change law garnered little support warren proposal received handful legislative and congress white house still consumed complex fights health care tax reform seems little appetite broad controversial overhaul financial system are there risks for banks big lenders including morgan chase co bank america corp citigroup would impacted commercial lending investment banking operations closely intertwined say analysts goldman sachs group inc morgan stanley might less impacted although would likely revert standalone investment banks shed deposit funding but even become law industry may spend money time energy lobbying idea would rather focus rolling back existing rules politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

WATCH: A GOP Candidate Just Released This Amazingly Racist AdRepublican congressional candidates have been the source of some of the most outrageous campaign ads over the last few years. A new ad from Kentucky 1st district candidate Mike Pape is one of the most racist examples of this that has come across in a long time.In the ad, three apparent Mexicans approach a border fence wearing t-shirts that say, Stop Trump Stop Ted Cruz and Stop Pape . The subtitled, heavily-accented actors explain that Pape will work to build Trump s wall or help Cruz repeal Obamacare, before saying they must stop him and charge into the country illegally. Pape then appears in the foreground to say he approves the message.The ad builds on Donald Trump s racially charged campaign rhetoric and his bizarre promise to build a wall between the United States and Mexico, paid for by the Mexican government.On the very first day of Trump s campaign, he blamed Mexicans for bringing crime like rape to America, as well as drugs.Gaskins is currently running in the Republican primary for his district against three other candidates, for the seat that will be opened up due to the retirement of Rep. Ed Whitfield. It is a heavily Republican district, with 73 percent of the vote going to the GOP in the 2014 election.The ad is a symptom of the problems plaguing the Republican Party nationally. As the country becomes more diverse, especially with Latinos, the GOP s hardcore base demands that candidates stick to racist and sexist appeals that reliably get voters to the polls.And when Republicans attempt to slightly moderate themselves even with candidates who are otherwise hard conservatives they are ostracized and excluded. For instance, while former Florida Governor Jeb Bush was an orthodox conservative, he argued in favor of immigration policy that was harsh but not as draconian as other candidates. As a result, Bush was utterly destroyed in the 2016 primaries and caucuses, even though he had more money than everyone else.This ad reflects the current state of the Republican Party, and it isn t a good look.Featured image via YouTubeNews | 0 | watch a gop candidate just released this amazingly racist republican congressional candidates source outrageous campaign ads last years a new ad kentucky district candidate mike page one racist examples come across long ad three apparent mexican approach border fence wearing say stop trump stop ted cruz stop page the subtitled actors explain page work build trump wall help cruz repeal obamacare saying must stop charge country illegally page appears foreground say approves ad builds donald trump racially charged campaign rhetoric bizarre promise build wall united states mexico paid mexican first day trump campaign blamed mexican bringing crime like rape america well currently running republican primary district three candidates seat opened due retirement ed whitfield it heavily republican district percent vote going gop ad symptom problems playing republican party nationally as country becomes diverse especially latino gop hardcore base demands candidates stick racist sexist appeals reliably get voters republicans attempt slightly moderate even candidates otherwise hard conservatives ostracized excluded for instance former florida governor jeb bush orthodox conservative argued favor immigration policy harsh draconian candidates as result bush utterly destroyed primaries caucuses even though money everyone ad reflects current state republican party good image via youtubenews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

NYC Police Brutally Arrest Postal Worker After Nearly Hitting His Truck (VIDEO)For Glen Grays, a 27-year-old New York City postal worker March 17 was not a typical day. That s because Grays was arrested after criticizing a police officer s driving.Grays was making deliveries in the neighborhood of Crown Heights in Brooklyn when a car almost hit his mail truck. Grays then did what most drivers would do if they were in the same situation he yelled at the person driving the vehicle for his reckless behavior.What Grays didn t know is that the vehicle was an unmarked police car. It is at this point that four plainclothes police officers get out of the unmarked police car and begin to harass Grays. The incident was recorded by passersby on their cell phones. You can watch the video below.Grays was eventually ticketed with resisting arrest. He was then handcuffed and put in the back of the unmarked police car where he was taken away. It is not a crime for someone to voice outrage after almost being struck by a vehicle It is not a crime to state that you re angry at someone who almost hit you. That is not a crime, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams said during a press conference on Tuesday.Adams wants the four police officers involved in the arrest to be investigated. They place handcuffs on an on-duty postal employee delivering the U.S. mail. If they would do that to him in his postal uniform, they would do it to any person of color in that community. When the police arrested Grays, they also left his mail truck unattended possibly violating several federal procedures. Adams thinks that the police should be punished for any violations of federal procedure that may have happened. I believe there were federal violations. Number one, leaving that truck unsecured. Number, two, interrupting the delivery of mail. There are clear NYPD procedures when you are arresting a federal employee. We don t know if even those basic procedures were followed. This the type of police misconduct that leads to the injuries, arrests, and deaths of so many people people of color in particular in the United States every year.Featured image from video screenshot News | 0 | nyc police brutally arrest postal worker after nearly hitting his truck video for glen gray new york city postal worker march typical day that gray arrested criticizing police officer making deliveries neighborhood crown heights brooklyn car almost hit mail truck gray drivers would situation yelled person driving vehicle reckless gray know vehicle unmarked police car it point four plainclothes police officers get unmarked police car begin harass gray the incident recorded passers cell phones you watch video eventually ticket resisting arrest he handcuffed put back unmarked police car taken away it crime someone voice outrage almost struck vehicle it crime state angry someone almost hit that crime brooklyn borough president eric adams said press conference wants four police officers involved arrest investigated they place handcuffs postal employee delivering mail if would postal uniform would person color community when police arrested gray also left mail truck unattended possibly violating several federal procedures adams thinks police punished violations federal procedure may happened i believe federal violations number one leaving truck secured number two interrupting delivery mail there clear nypd procedures arresting federal employee we know even basic procedures followed this type police misconduct leads injuries arrests deaths many people people color particular united states every image video screenshot news | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

NANCY PELOSI Connected to DNC Staffer Charged With Bank Fraud After Trying to Flee the USThe shocking revelations just keep on coming in this DNC IT case.

Philippines spotlights anti-graft measures in bid to woo U.S. aidMANILA (Reuters) - The Philippines on Friday defended its graft-fighting efforts in a bid to convince the United States to continue providing development assistance after an initial five-year grant of $434 million expired in May last year. The move comes despite President Rodrigo Duterte s remark that America s money could be replaced, after the U.S. government s Millennium Challenge Corporation last year cited human rights concerns in deferring its vote on aid for Manila. The Philippines fell short of the control of corruption target on the MCC s scorecard for fiscal 2018, which determines a country s eligibility for assistance. However, the rating may not completely reflect the reform initiatives of the Duterte administration in the area of fighting corruption and good governance, said Harry Roque, a spokesman for the Philippine president. Duterte has fired government officials over corruption allegations, ordered agencies to open their records to the public, cut red tape and set up a hotline for people to report graft, Roque said in a statement. We are hopeful that the MCC board would take into account these initiatives and see our commitment to further reforms in the areas covered by the compact assistance, he added. Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez also weighed in, saying the president had been relentless in the campaign against corruption in government . Duterte cleansed the corruption-plagued Bureau of Corrections, and last month set up an anti-graft panel to investigate cases against presidential appointees, he added. Duterte took power on a platform of battling crime, drugs and graft, but is himself being investigated by an independent anti-graft body over allegations of non-disclosure of wealth when he was mayor of the southern city of Davao. He raised the prospect of severing ties with Washington after being infuriated by U.S. criticism of his war on drugs, which has claimed more than 3,900 lives since he took office 16 months ago. worldnews | 1 | philippines spotlights measures bid woo aidmanila reuters the philippines friday defended efforts bid convince united states continue providing development assistance initial grant million expired may last year the move comes despite president rodrigo duterte remark america money could replaced government millennium challenge corporation last year cited human rights concerns referring vote aid manila the philippines fell short control corruption target mcc scorecard fiscal determines country eligibility assistance however rating may completely reflect reform initiatives duterte administration area fighting corruption good governance said harry rogue spokesman philippine president duterte fired government officials corruption allegations ordered agencies open records public cut red tape set hotline people report graft rogue said statement we hopeful mcc board would take account initiatives see commitment reforms areas covered compact assistance added finance secretary carlos dominguez also weighed saying president relentless campaign corruption government duterte cleaned bureau corrections last month set panel investigate cases presidential appointees added duterte took power platform battling crime drugs graft investigated independent body allegations wealth mayor southern city data he raised prospect severing ties washington infuriated criticism war drugs claimed lives since took office months ago worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Venezuela government and opposition to resume dialogue effortCARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela s government and opposition will resume efforts to hold dialogue, the third attempt in a year by the administration of President Nicolas Maduro and his adversaries to break up a bitter political stalemate. Previous dialogue efforts have ended in recriminations between the two sides and no concrete progress amid a dire economic crisis that has led to increased malnutrition and preventable diseases. Opposition leaders said that even though Maduro has previously used the talks to stall for time instead of implementing serious reform, a new round would still be needed to help ensure free and fair presidential elections, which are currently scheduled for 2018. We have developed relations in Latin America so that in the company of friendly countries and governments, we can facilitate the conditions for a presidential election, Julio Borges, president of the opposition-led National Assembly, told a news conference. The opposition in September walked away from dialogue with the ruling Socialist Party, insisting the government had not met demands including the release of imprisoned opposition activists and mechanisms to allow foreign humanitarian assistance. Legislator Luis Florido, spokesman for the opposition in the dialogue process, said the opposition would seek a new elections council and would push for presidential elections. He added that Paraguay, Mexico and Chile would accompany the process. Information Minister Jorge Rodriguez said via Twitter, the dialogue continues on Nov 15 in the Dominican Republic. The two sides in September held exploratory meetings with the backing of Dominican President Danilo Medina. worldnews | 1 | venezuela government opposition resume dialogue effortcaracas reuters venezuela government opposition resume efforts hold dialogue third attempt year administration president nicolas maduro adversaries break bitter political stalemate previous dialogue efforts ended recriminations two sides concrete progress amid dire economic crisis led increased malnutrition preventable diseases opposition leaders said even though maduro previously used talks stall time instead implementing serious reform new round would still needed help ensure free fair presidential elections currently scheduled we developed relations latin america company friendly countries governments facilitate conditions presidential election julio barges president national assembly told news conference the opposition september walked away dialogue ruling socialist party insisting government met demands including release imprisoned opposition activists mechanisms allow foreign humanitarian assistance legislator luis florida spokesman opposition dialogue process said opposition would seek new elections council would push presidential elections he added paraguay mexico chile would accompany process information minister jorge rodriguez said via twitter dialogue continues nov dominican republic the two sides september held exploratory meetings backing dominican president daily medina worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Cruz, Trump split four states in setback for Republican establishmentWASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz split victories in four nominating contests with front-runner Donald Trump on Saturday, bolstering Cruz’s argument that he represents the party’s best chance to stop the brash New York billionaire. The results were a repudiation of a Republican establishment that has bristled at the prospect of either Cruz or Trump winning the party’s nomination and has largely lined up behind U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, who was shut out in all four contests. “I think it’s time that he dropped out of the race,” Trump said of Rubio after the contests. “I want Ted one on one.” Cruz won Kansas and Maine on Saturday, while Trump won the bigger states of Louisiana and Kentucky, holding onto his lead in the race for the Republican nomination for the November 8 presidential election, even though Cruz captured more delegates on Saturday. The next big contest, and a crucial one, will be Tuesday’s primary in the industrial state of Michigan. Republicans in three other states, Mississippi, Idaho and Hawaii, also will vote on Tuesday. Puerto Rico Republicans will vote on Sunday. In the Democratic race, front-runner Hillary Clinton won in Louisiana, and her rival Bernie Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, won in Kansas and Nebraska, in results that did not substantially change Clinton’s big delegate lead. Mainstream Republicans have blanched at Trump’s calls to build a wall on the border with Mexico, round up and deport 11 million undocumented immigrants and temporarily bar all Muslims from entering the United States. But the party’s establishment has not been much happier with Cruz, who has alienated many party leaders in Washington. “It looks like it will be the angry Trump voters against the purist conservative Cruz voters,” said Washington-based Republican strategist Ron Bonjean. “The establishment is just being left out.” A spokesman for Rubio, who spent the past week launching harsh personal attacks on Trump, said the senator would push on with an eye on the March 15 contest in Florida. “After we win the Florida primary, the map, the momentum and the money is going to be on our side,” spokesman Alex Conant said in a statement. Cruz, a first-term U.S. senator from Texas who has promoted himself as more of a true conservative than Trump, said the results showed he was gaining momentum in the race to catch the real estate mogul. Cruz, 45, has run as an outsider bent on shaking up the Republican establishment in Washington. A favorite of evangelicals, he has called for the United States to “carpet bomb” the Islamic State militant group and has pledged to eliminate the tax-collecting Internal Revenue Service and four cabinet agencies and to enact a balanced budget amendment. “The scream you hear, the howl that comes from Washington, D.C., is utter terror at what ‘We the People’ are doing together,” Cruz told supporters in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, after his early win in Kansas. “What we’re seeing is the public coming together, libertarians coming together, men and women who love the Constitution coming together and uniting and standing as one behind this campaign,” Cruz said. Trump, 69, has a substantial lead in the delegates needed to secure the nomination at the Republican National Convention, but since winning seven of the 11 contests on Super Tuesday he has come under withering fire from a Republican establishment worried he will lead the party to defeat in November’s election. [nL2N16C08F] But endorsements from establishment Republicans have failed to sway voters. Rubio won the backing of Kansas Governor Sam Brownback but still came in third there. The four Republican contests on Saturday together accounted for just 155 delegates. Cruz won 64 delegates on Saturday, while Trump took 49. The races on Saturday were open only to registered Republicans, excluding the independent and disaffected Democratic voters who have helped Trump’s surge to the lead. The anti-Trump forces have a short window to stop the caustic businessman, who ahead of Saturday had accumulated 319 of the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination at July’s Republican national convention, outpacing Cruz, who had 226 delegates. On March 15, the delegate-rich states of Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Missouri and North Carolina will vote. Both Florida and Ohio use the winner-take-all method to allocate Republican delegates, making the stakes in those states particularly high. All of the Republican contests on Saturday, and through March 14, award delegates proportionate to the popular vote, although some states set minimum thresholds to qualify for any delegates. If Trump takes both Florida and Ohio he would be nearly impossible to stop. There are a total of 358 delegates at stake in the five states voting March 15, including 99 in Florida and 66 in Ohio. On the Democratic side, Clinton has opened up a big delegate lead and Sanders might have a tough time making up the difference. All states in the Democratic race award their delegates proportionally, meaning Clinton can keep piling up delegates even in states she loses. The three states holding Democratic contests on Saturday had a total of 109 delegates at stake. The early estimates were that Clinton, who appeared headed to a smashing nearly 50-point win in Louisiana, had won at least 48 delegates on Tuesday and Sanders 37. But Sanders made it clear he was not planning to end his White House quest anytime soon. “We have the momentum. We have a path toward victory. Our campaign is just getting started,” he said in a statement after his wins on Saturday. politicsNews | 1 | cruz trump split four states setback republican establishmentwashington reuters republican presidential hopeful ted cruz split victories four nominating contests donald trump saturday fostering cruz argument represents party best chance stop brash new york billionaire the results reputation republican establishment bristles prospect either cruz trump winning party nomination largely lined behind senator marco rubio florida shut four contests i think time dropped race trump said rubio contests i want ted one cruz kansas maine saturday trump bigger states louisiana kentucky holding onto lead race republican nomination november presidential election even though cruz captured delegates saturday the next big contest crucial one tuesday primary industrial state michigan republicans three states mississippi idaho hawaii also vote tuesday puerto rico republicans vote sunday in democratic race hillary clinton louisiana rival bernie sanders senator vermont kansas nebraska results substantially change clinton big delegate lead mainstream republicans branched trump calls build wall border mexico round deport million undocumented immigrants temporarily bar muslims entering united states but party establishment much happier cruz alienated many party leaders washington it looks like angry trump voters jurist conservative cruz voters said republican strategist ron boolean the establishment left a spokesman rubio spent past week launching harsh personal attacks trump said senator would push eye march contest florida after win florida primary map momentum money going side spokesman alex conan said statement cruz senator texas promoted true conservative trump said results showed gaining momentum race catch real estate mogul cruz run outsider bent shaking republican establishment washington a favorite evangelicals called united states carpet bomb islamic state militant group pledged eliminate internal revenue service four cabinet agencies enact balanced budget amendment the scream hear howl comes washington utter terror we people together cruz told supporters coeur alone idaho early win kansas what seeing public coming together libertarians coming together men women love constitution coming together uniting standing one behind campaign cruz said trump substantial lead delegates needed secure nomination republican national convention since winning seven contests super tuesday come gathering fire republican establishment worried lead party defeat november election but endorsements establishment republicans failed sway voters rubio backing kansas governor sam brownback still came third the four republican contests saturday together accounted delegates cruz delegates saturday trump took the races saturday open registered republicans excluding independent disaffected democratic voters helped trump surge lead the forces short window stop caustic businessman ahead saturday accumulated delegates needed win nomination july republican national convention outpacing cruz delegates on march states florida illinois ohio missouri north carolina vote both florida ohio use method allocate republican delegates making stakes states particularly high all republican contests saturday march award delegates proportionate popular vote although states set minimum thresholds qualify delegates if trump takes florida ohio would nearly impossible stop there total delegates stake five states voting march including florida ohio on democratic side clinton opened big delegate lead sanders might tough time making difference all states democratic race award delegates proportionally meaning clinton keep piling delegates even states loses the three states holding democratic contests saturday total delegates stake the early estimates clinton appeared headed smashing nearly win louisiana least delegates tuesday sanders but sanders made clear planning end white house quest anytime soon we momentum we path toward victory our campaign getting started said statement wins saturday politicsnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

TEXT: Cruz, Trump split four states in setback for Republican establishmentWASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz split victories in four nominating contests with front-runner Donald Trump on Saturday, bolstering Cruz’s argument that he represents the party’s best chance to stop the brash New York billionaire. The results were a repudiation of a Republican establishment that has bristled at the prospect of either Cruz or Trump winning the party’s nomination and has largely lined up behind U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, who was shut out in all four contests. “I think it’s time that he dropped out of the race,” Trump said of Rubio after the contests. “I want Ted one on one.” Cruz won Kansas and Maine on Saturday, while Trump won the bigger states of Louisiana and Kentucky, holding onto his lead in the race for the Republican nomination for the November 8 presidential election, even though Cruz captured more delegates on Saturday. The next big contest, and a crucial one, will be Tuesday’s primary in the industrial state of Michigan. Republicans in three other states, Mississippi, Idaho and Hawaii, also will vote on Tuesday. Puerto Rico Republicans will vote on Sunday. In the Democratic race, front-runner Hillary Clinton won in Louisiana, and her rival Bernie Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, won in Kansas and Nebraska, in results that did not substantially change Clinton’s big delegate lead. Mainstream Republicans have blanched at Trump’s calls to build a wall on the border with Mexico, round up and deport 11 million undocumented immigrants and temporarily bar all Muslims from entering the United States. But the party’s establishment has not been much happier with Cruz, who has alienated many party leaders in Washington. “It looks like it will be the angry Trump voters against the purist conservative Cruz voters,” said Washington-based Republican strategist Ron Bonjean. “The establishment is just being left out.” A spokesman for Rubio, who spent the past week launching harsh personal attacks on Trump, said the senator would push on with an eye on the March 15 contest in Florida. “After we win the Florida primary, the map, the momentum and the money is going to be on our side,” spokesman Alex Conant said in a statement. Cruz, a first-term U.S. senator from Texas who has promoted himself as more of a true conservative than Trump, said the results showed he was gaining momentum in the race to catch the real estate mogul. Cruz, 45, has run as an outsider bent on shaking up the Republican establishment in Washington. A favorite of evangelicals, he has called for the United States to “carpet bomb” the Islamic State militant group and has pledged to eliminate the tax-collecting Internal Revenue Service and four cabinet agencies and to enact a balanced budget amendment. “The scream you hear, the howl that comes from Washington, D.C., is utter terror at what ‘We the People’ are doing together,” Cruz told supporters in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, after his early win in Kansas. “What we’re seeing is the public coming together, libertarians coming together, men and women who love the Constitution coming together and uniting and standing as one behind this campaign,” Cruz said. Trump, 69, has a substantial lead in the delegates needed to secure the nomination at the Republican National Convention, but since winning seven of the 11 contests on Super Tuesday he has come under withering fire from a Republican establishment worried he will lead the party to defeat in November’s election. [nL2N16C08F] But endorsements from establishment Republicans have failed to sway voters. Rubio won the backing of Kansas Governor Sam Brownback but still came in third there. The four Republican contests on Saturday together accounted for just 155 delegates. Cruz won 64 delegates on Saturday, while Trump took 49. The races on Saturday were open only to registered Republicans, excluding the independent and disaffected Democratic voters who have helped Trump’s surge to the lead. The anti-Trump forces have a short window to stop the caustic businessman, who ahead of Saturday had accumulated 319 of the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination at July’s Republican national convention, outpacing Cruz, who had 226 delegates.

Italy's 5-Star launches vote for leader, Di Maio hot favoriteROME (Reuters) - Italy s anti-establishment 5-Star Movement, which leads most opinion polls ahead of a national election due by May next year, on Friday launched an internal ballot to choose its leader and candidate for prime minister. The hot favorite is 31-year-old lower house deputy Luigi Di Maio, the party s most high-profile and popular politician, who has made no secret of wanting the job and appears to have no rivals to worry him. The biggest problem for the maverick movement founded eight years ago may be finding credible alternative candidates in the contest, which will take the form of an online vote of 5-Star s members, in line with its credo of direct democracy. Di Maio, who is deputy speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, is considered a good communicator and one of 5-Star s more moderate figures. A post on 5-Star s official mouthpiece, the blog of its founder Beppe Grillo, said the candidate for prime minister would also be the party s leader, something which is not always the case in Italian politics. Grillo, who founded 5-Star in 2009, has so far acted as its de facto chief, though he has never run for any office and the party has always prided itself as having a horizontal structure with no official leader. The only person considered a realistic threat to Di Maio, the fiery deputy Alessandro Di Battista, has given no indication that he plans to run. Another deputy seen as a potential challenger, Roberto Fico, who represents the left wing of the party and has recently distanced himself from Di Maio s tough positions on law-and-order and immigration, has also not yet made any move. The post on Grillo s blog said 5-Star s local and national representatives who wish to run had until Monday to present their candidacies. The timing of the online vote has not yet been set but the winner is due to be announced on Sept 23 at 5-Star s annual national meeting at the Adriatic coastal town of Rimini. worldnews | 1 | italy launches vote leader di main hot favoriterome reuters italy movement leads opinion polls ahead national election due may next year friday launched internal ballot choose leader candidate prime minister the hot favorite lower house deputy liga di main party popular politician made secret wanting job appears rivals worry the biggest problem maverick movement founded eight years ago may finding credible alternative candidates contest take form online vote members line redo direct democracy di main deputy speaker chamber deputies considered good communicator one moderate figures a post official mouthpiece blog founder bee grille said candidate prime minister would also party leader something always case italian politics grille founded far acted de facto chief though never run office party always pride horizontal structure official leader the person considered realistic threat di main fiery deputy alejandro di artista given indication plans run another deputy seen potential challenger roberto fico represents left wing party recently distanced di main tough positions immigration also yet made move the post grille blog said local national representatives wish run monday present candidacies the timing online vote yet set winner due announced sept annual national meeting adriatic coastal town rising worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

REPORT: Russia Taunts And Tests United States As Puppet Trump Continues Fawning Over PutinRussia is testing how far Donald Trump will let them go and they are going frighteningly far.The Russian government has been cheering ever since they helped get their puppet in the White House.Trump has signaled that he may pull the United States out of NATO, which would weaken Europe and leave the continent vulnerable to a Russian invasion. Lithuania recently warned that the Russian military is preparing for such an invasion and that the military drill is the largest ever recorded near the borders of the Baltic states.Russia has also been launching cyber attacks and spreading propaganda designed to sway elections so that they can get weak leaders in office around the world. And so far, their strategy is working.Putin has Trump by the balls and he may also have ears in the White House Situation Room, according to American spies who are refusing to provide intelligence to Trump out of fear that Putin would learn about the same information.And now Russia appears to be testing our military resolve as well.On Saturday, Russian fighter jets flew by a United States Navy Destroyer on the Black Sea at a threatening altitude and speed and refused to communicate when queried about the flyovers. The same pattern occurred over several hours. USS Porter queried all aircraft and received no response, Captain Danny Hernandez said according to Reuters. Such incidents are concerning because they can result in accident or miscalculation. The incidents involving the Su-24 were considered to be unsafe and unprofessional by the commanding officer of the Porter because of their high speed and low altitude, while the IL-38 flew at an unusually low altitude, Hernandez said.Another U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the closest incident that day involved the lone SU-24, which came within 200 yards of the Porter at an altitude of 300 feet (91 meters).Furthermore, Russia is also testing how close they can sail spy vessels to our shorelines.Fox News reported on Tuesday that a Russian spy ship was spotted 70 miles off the Delaware coast and it is unknown where the ship is heading.And if that isn t enough to make you worry about Trump s connections to Russia, the New York Times reports that Russia has deployed ground-based cruise missiles in violation of the treaty that ended the Cold War. The Obama administration protested the move when the missiles were being tested, but Putin waited till Trump took over the White House to actually deploy them.These are all serious warning signs that Russia is poised to launch a war, yet Trump is doing nothing but defending and kissing up to Putin. Russia is literally testing our defenses and getting more aggressive. Prior to Trump, every other modern president has been strong against Russian aggression. But now Russia knows that we have an inept weak leader in the White House who is incapable of standing up to Putin.We can no longer afford to continue letting Congress ignore Trump s relationship with Putin and Russia. Investigations must occur and they need to occur right now.

Sri Lanka says keen for early conclusion of China trade dealBEIJING (Reuters) - Sri Lanka is keen to reach agreement soon on a free trade deal with China, its foreign minister said on Tuesday, describing Beijing as a close friend and ally, despite strong local opposition to some major Chinese-invested schemes. In July, Sri Lanka signed a long-delayed $1.1 billion deal to lease its southern Hambantota port to China, ignoring an appeal by opposition parties to debate the pact in parliament. The $1.5-billion port, close to the main shipping route from Asia to Europe and likely to play a key role in China s Belt and Road initiative, has been mired in controversy since a Chinese firm agreed to take an 80 percent stake in it. The pact signed last year sparked widespread public anger, as Chinese control of the port, which included a plan for a 99-year lease of 15,000 acres (23 sq miles) to develop an adjacent industrial zone, provoked fears it could be used by Chinese naval vessels. Sri Lanka Foreign Minister Tilak Marapana told a reception in Beijing to mark the 60th anniversary of establishing diplomatic ties that the two countries friendship went back centuries. Sri Lanka is very keen to reach an early conclusion to the free trade agreement with China in the near future that would expand more trade avenues for both countries, Marapana said. China has been a reliable and important partner in our drive towards economic development and Sri Lanka is appreciative of the country s commitment and assistance, he added, without mentioning any specific projects. As one of the first countries to help in Sri Lanka s post-war reconstruction after the 2009 end of its 26-year civil war, China s ties with Sri Lanka have unnerved India, traditionally the island nation s most important partner. By 2014, Chinese navy submarines were also docking in Colombo, raising alarm in New Delhi and prompting a push by the administration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to claw back influence in the region. Sri Lanka is deeply appreciative of China for being a true and trusted friend and ally during our times of need, Marapana said. worldnews | 1 | sri lanka says keen early conclusion china trade dealbeijing reuters sri lanka keen reach agreement soon free trade deal china foreign minister said tuesday describing beijing close friend ally despite strong local opposition major schemes in july sri lanka signed billion deal lease southern hambantota port china ignoring appeal opposition parties debate pact parliament the port close main shipping route asia europe likely play key role china belt road initiative aired controversy since chinese firm agreed take percent stake the pact signed last year sparked widespread public anger chinese control port included plan lease acres sq miles develop adjacent industrial zone provoked fears could used chinese naval vessels sri lanka foreign minister talk marapana told reception beijing mark anniversary establishing diplomatic ties two countries friendship went back centuries sri lanka keen reach early conclusion free trade agreement china near future would expand trade avenues countries marapana said china reliable important partner drive towards economic development sri lanka appreciative country commitment assistance added without mentioning specific projects as one first countries help sri lanka reconstruction end civil war china ties sri lanka unneeded india traditionally island nation important partner by chinese navy submarines also docking colombia raising alarm new delhi prompting push administration prime minister narendra modi claw back influence region sri lanka deeply appreciative china true trusted friend ally times need marapana said worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

By 2014, Chinese navy submarines were also docking in Colombo, raising alarm in New Delhi and prompting a push by the administration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to claw back influence in the region. Sri Lanka is deeply appreciative of China for being a true and trusted friend and ally during our times of need, Marapana said. worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

FAISAL MOHAMMAD HAD ISIS FLAG, ISLAMIC Themed Manifesto, Stabbed 4 College Students, Wanted “to cut someone’s head off”…FBI Rules Out “Terrorism”Why does our government continue to go out of their way to downplay acts of terror in America? This is just another shocking example of a government agency ignoring red flag after red flag in an attempt to sugar coat an attack by an extreme Muslim against innocent Americans More than four months after a black-clad loner with an Islamist-themed manifesto and a printed ISIS flag in his backpack stabbed four people on a California college campus, the FBI wrapped up its investigation Thursday by saying it may never be possible to definitively determine what motivated the bloody rampage.The inconclusive findings from the probe of the Nov. 4, 2015 attack at the University of California Merced campus followed months of hesitation by local and federal law enforcement to link Faisal Mohammad s stabbing spree to terrorism. Every indication is that Mohammad acted on his own; however, it may never be possible to definitively determine why he chose to attack people on the UC Merced campus, the FBI s Sacramento office said in a statement that avoided calling the attack an act of terrorism.[quote_box_center] They go to great lengths to avoid the obvious, that is calling it what it is: Radical Islamic terrorism. Patrick Dunleavy, terrorism expert[/quote_box_center]Critics say it followed a pattern in which the federal government downplays domestic terrorism even when there are seemingly obvious links. The flag, the manifesto annotated with reminders to pray to Allah in between stabbings all reported in November by FoxNews.com, yet not confirmed by the FBI until this week, pointed early on to the 18-year-old Mohammad having been radicalized, say terrorism experts. Even the stabbings themselves, which came as a wave of terrorist blade attacks occurred in Israel, were indicators of an extremist motivation, say experts. The Department of Justice is avoiding stating the obvious, which is that an individual who commits violence in the name of ISIS is a terrorist, said Ryan Mauro, national security analyst for the New York-based nonprofit terrorism research institute Clarion Project. If someone commits violence and has an ISIS flag and jihadist manifesto in their backpack, they are telling you what their motive was. It s as iron-clad as a suicide note. Mohammad was shot and killed by campus police near the classroom where his attack began. All of his victims have recovered. In my opinion, this is domestic terrorism at the very least, said John Price, father of Byron Price, a construction manager who was stabbed as he intervened in the attack. I am glad the FBI investigation did not find any links to outside terror groups, but Faisal Mohammed clearly paid attention when the Islamic State called for these kinds of lone wolf stabbing attacks. In the days following the attack, local and federal law enforcement repeatedly claimed in a series of press conferences that Mohammed was motivated by being excluded from a study group. FoxNews.com, citing documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, reported in November that the narrative clashed with the account his roommate gave Merced County Sheriff s detectives.[quote_box_center]Ali Tarek Elshekh s told detectives Mohammed was a loner and an extreme Muslim, who threatened to kill another student if he touched his prayer rug, and who dressed all in black before leaving his dorm to try to kill his fellow students.[/quote_box_center]Both the FBI and campus police have declined for months to provide copies of Mohammed s manifesto and the photocopied ISIS flag to FoxNews.com, turning down numerous Freedom of Information Act requests by claiming the investigation was ongoing.Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke, who initially was involved in the investigation and told FoxNews.com about the manifesto and some of its language, has since refused more than a dozen requests for comment on the case, and also declined to respond to a FOIA requested submitted by FoxNews.com.

Spain sacks Catalan government after independence declarationBARCELONA/MADRID (Reuters) - The Madrid government sacked Catalonia s president and dismissed its parliament on Friday, hours after the region declared itself an independent nation in Spain s gravest political crisis since the return of democracy four decades ago. A new regional election will be held in Catalonia on Dec. 21, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said in a televised address on a day of high drama. As well as removing Carles Puigdemont as head of the autonomous region, he also fired its police chief and said central government ministries would take over the Catalan administration. Spain is living through a sad day, Rajoy said. We believe it is urgent to listen to Catalan citizens, to all of them, so that they can decide their future and nobody can act outside the law on their behalf. As he spoke, thousands of independence supporters packed the Sant Jaume Square in front of the Catalan regional headquarters in Barcelona, their earlier joyful mood somewhat dampened by Rajoy s actions. In a stunning show of defiance of Madrid, the Catalan parliament had voted in the afternoon to make a unilateral declaration of independence. Despite the emotions and celebrations inside and outside the building, it was a futile gesture as shortly afterwards the Spanish Senate in Madrid approved the imposition of direct rule. Several European countries, including France and Germany, and the United States also rejected the independence declaration and said they supported Rajoy s efforts to preserve Spain s unity. The crisis has now reached a new and possibly dangerous level as independence supporters have called for a campaign of disobedience. Immediately after news of the vote, Spanish shares and bonds were sold off, reflecting business concern over the turmoil. Catalonia held an independence referendum on Oct. 1 which was declared illegal by Madrid and marred by heavy-handed national police tactics to stop it. Although the referendum endorsed independence, it drew only a 43 percent turnout as Catalans who oppose independence largely boycotted it. The independence push has caused deep resentment around Spain. The chaos has also prompted a flight of business from Catalonia and alarmed European leaders who fear the crisis could fan separatist sentiment around the continent. Catalonia is one of Spain s most prosperous regions and already has a high degree of autonomy. But it has a litany of historic grievances, exacerbated during the 1939-1975 Franco dictatorship, when its culture and politics were suppressed. In Barcelona, Jordi Mercade, a 32-year-old engineer celebrating with friends, said he had mixed feelings about the day s events. It s a day for history but many of us here also know we are not independent. They have the force. We are proud to having declared independence but we know this is not something definitive. It is not certain whether the new election can resolve the crisis, as it could increase the numbers of independence supporters in parliament. Also unclear is how Rajoy s other measures will work on the ground, because of the reactions of civil servants and the regional police, know as the Mossos d Esquadra, who are reported to be divided in their loyalties. The main secessionist group, the Catalan National Assembly, called on civil servants not to follow orders from the Spanish government and urged them to follow peaceful resistance . Tensions are likely to rise significantly over the coming days, Antonio Barroso of Teneo Intelligence said in a note. Demonstrators might try to prevent the police from removing Catalan ministers from their offices if the central government decides to do so. This increases the risk of violent clashes with the police. SHORT-LIVED LIBERTY A big crowd of independence supporters gathered outside the regional parliament in Barcelona, shouting Liberty in Catalan and singing traditional songs as the independence vote went through. Among them was Monica Sanz, 44, a university lecturer who wore a Catalan flag around her neck. We tried all peaceful means. Moderate people have reached this point because it was impossible to make an agreement with Spain, she said. The motion, passed after a passionate debate from advocates and opponents of independence, said Catalonia constituted an independent, sovereign and social democratic state. Lawmakers from members of three national parties - the People s Party, the Socialists and Ciudadanos - walked out before the vote. Members of the pro-independence parties and the far-left Podemos then voted 70-10 in favour, in a secret ballot aimed at hindering any attempt by Madrid to lay criminal charges on them. The soon-to-be-sacked Puigdemont left the chamber to shouts of President! and mayors who had come from outlying areas brandished their ceremonial batons and sang the Catalan anthem Els Segadors (The Reapers). Catalonia is and will be a land of freedom. In times of difficulty and in times of celebration. Now more than ever , Puigdemont said on Twitter. But within an hour, the upper house of Spain s parliament in Madrid authorized Rajoy s government to rule Catalonia directly. Spain s constitutional court started a review of the vote for prosecutors to decide if its constituted rebellion. In Brussels, the president of the European Council, Donald Tusk, said the independence vote changed nothing and the EU would only deal with the central government. Spain s IBEX fell as much 2.1 percent to a four-day low during the day, 10-year government bond yields hit a day high, and the euro dipped against the dollar on Friday after the Catalan independence declaration.

TEXT: Spain sacks Catalan government after independence declarationBARCELONA/MADRID (Reuters) - The Madrid government sacked Catalonia s president and dismissed its parliament on Friday, hours after the region declared itself an independent nation in Spain s gravest political crisis since the return of democracy four decades ago. A new regional election will be held in Catalonia on Dec. 21, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said in a televised address on a day of high drama. As well as removing Carles Puigdemont as head of the autonomous region, he also fired its police chief and said central government ministries would take over the Catalan administration. Spain is living through a sad day, Rajoy said. We believe it is urgent to listen to Catalan citizens, to all of them, so that they can decide their future and nobody can act outside the law on their behalf. As he spoke, thousands of independence supporters packed the Sant Jaume Square in front of the Catalan regional headquarters in Barcelona, their earlier joyful mood somewhat dampened by Rajoy s actions. In a stunning show of defiance of Madrid, the Catalan parliament had voted in the afternoon to make a unilateral declaration of independence. Despite the emotions and celebrations inside and outside the building, it was a futile gesture as shortly afterwards the Spanish Senate in Madrid approved the imposition of direct rule. Several European countries, including France and Germany, and the United States also rejected the independence declaration and said they supported Rajoy s efforts to preserve Spain s unity. The crisis has now reached a new and possibly dangerous level as independence supporters have called for a campaign of disobedience. Immediately after news of the vote, Spanish shares and bonds were sold off, reflecting business concern over the turmoil. Catalonia held an independence referendum on Oct. 1 which was declared illegal by Madrid and marred by heavy-handed national police tactics to stop it. Although the referendum endorsed independence, it drew only a 43 percent turnout as Catalans who oppose independence largely boycotted it. The independence push has caused deep resentment around Spain. The chaos has also prompted a flight of business from Catalonia and alarmed European leaders who fear the crisis could fan separatist sentiment around the continent. Catalonia is one of Spain s most prosperous regions and already has a high degree of autonomy. But it has a litany of historic grievances, exacerbated during the 1939-1975 Franco dictatorship, when its culture and politics were suppressed. In Barcelona, Jordi Mercade, a 32-year-old engineer celebrating with friends, said he had mixed feelings about the day s events. It s a day for history but many of us here also know we are not independent. They have the force. We are proud to having declared independence but we know this is not something definitive. It is not certain whether the new election can resolve the crisis, as it could increase the numbers of independence supporters in parliament. Also unclear is how Rajoy s other measures will work on the ground, because of the reactions of civil servants and the regional police, know as the Mossos d Esquadra, who are reported to be divided in their loyalties. The main secessionist group, the Catalan National Assembly, called on civil servants not to follow orders from the Spanish government and urged them to follow peaceful resistance . Tensions are likely to rise significantly over the coming days, Antonio Barroso of Teneo Intelligence said in a note. Demonstrators might try to prevent the police from removing Catalan ministers from their offices if the central government decides to do so. This increases the risk of violent clashes with the police. SHORT-LIVED LIBERTY A big crowd of independence supporters gathered outside the regional parliament in Barcelona, shouting Liberty in Catalan and singing traditional songs as the independence vote went through. Among them was Monica Sanz, 44, a university lecturer who wore a Catalan flag around her neck. We tried all peaceful means. Moderate people have reached this point because it was impossible to make an agreement with Spain, she said. The motion, passed after a passionate debate from advocates and opponents of independence, said Catalonia constituted an independent, sovereign and social democratic state. Lawmakers from members of three national parties - the People s Party, the Socialists and Ciudadanos - walked out before the vote. Members of the pro-independence parties and the far-left Podemos then voted 70-10 in favour, in a secret ballot aimed at hindering any attempt by Madrid to lay criminal charges on them. The soon-to-be-sacked Puigdemont left the chamber to shouts of President! and mayors who had come from outlying areas brandished their ceremonial batons and sang the Catalan anthem Els Segadors (The Reapers). Catalonia is and will be a land of freedom. In times of difficulty and in times of celebration. Now more than ever , Puigdemont said on Twitter. But within an hour, the upper house of Spain s parliament in Madrid authorized Rajoy s government to rule Catalonia directly. Spain s constitutional court started a review of the vote for prosecutors to decide if its constituted rebellion. In Brussels, the president of the European Council, Donald Tusk, said the independence vote changed nothing and the EU would only deal with the central government. Spain s IBEX fell as much 2.1 percent to a four-day low during the day, 10-year government bond yields hit a day high, and the euro dipped against the dollar on Friday after the Catalan independence declaration. The region contributes about a fifth of Spain s economy, the fourth-largest in the eurozone. JP Morgan said that due to the uncertainty, it was lowering its forecast for Spain s GDP for the last quarter of 2017 and first of 2018 to below the 3.5 per cent seen so far this year. worldnews | Your task is to classify the provided input as real or fake news.

Autopsy Report: SF Cops Shot Man 21 Times, Twice In The Head — He Was No ThreatThe cops are out of control. They have appointed themselves judge, jury, and executioner in too many cases to count now, and here is yet another. Police in San Francisco executed a 26-year-old black man, Mario Woods, by shooting him twenty-one times. Two of those shots were to his head, according the an autopsy report obtained by local CBS affiliate KRON-4.In this particular case, San Francisco Chief of Police Greg Suhr did the usual, and lied about a dead man s actions in order cover up the fact that his officers used excessive deadly force against Woods, claiming that the suspect lunged at the officers and refused to drop the knife he was supposedly carrying. Woods was being approached because the cops believed that he had stabbed someone. However, video taken by witnesses reveal otherwise. Woods did not lunge at anyone, and he was outnumbered five to one with armed and trained police officers.Thanks to the medical examiner s report and the fact that the bullet casings from all 27 shots that were fired have been found, the cops have been forced to backtrack on their lies. They are now saying that the current narrative appears to corroborate facts gathered by investigators in the aftermath of this tragic incident. They went on to say: The department is committed to a thorough review of the shooting and this report will be an important component of all three ongoing independent investigations. The shooting is under investigation by the police department itself, as well as two other independent city agencies, the San Francisco District Attorney s Office, and the San Francisco Office of Citizen Complaints. Likely, they hope to be able to investigate themselves and find that they did nothing wrong. Not so fast on this one, though.The Mayor of San Francisco, Ed Lee, has inquired of the Department of Justice and Attorney General Loretta Lynch for a federal investigation into this deadly shooting. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors want an investigation into not only this police shooting, but those of two other black men who were shot and killed by San Francisco cops. That Blue Wall of Silence won t help ya on this one, boys.Mario Woods mother, Gwendolyn Woods, has also filed a wrongful death suit against the city. Her attorney, John Burris, says of the situation: The fact is he was shot in the back. The significance to me is most of the officers who were shooting were not being threatened at the time they fired those weapons. Of course, the cops and the city are trying to paint Mario Woods in a bad light, saying in their response to Mrs. Woods lawsuit that her son advanced abruptly toward the officers and an armed and dangerous suspect in a violent felony. But John Burris isn t buying that, and says that Woods was not a threat to the lives of the officers, despite the fact that the city says that those cops were in the right. But Burris says: You know you can t just use deadly force against someone who is not threatening you. And that is the bottom line. In this case, and so many others, cops use deadly force not because it was warranted, but because they can, and then they get their stories straight and cover it up. That is absolutely despicable, and yet in so many cases they get away with it.Sue the hell out of them, Mrs. Woods.
