  The editor of the major Louisiana newspaper that urged President Obama to cut short his summer vacation to see the devastating flooding that has damaged roughly 40,000 home said Friday he’s pleased that the president will visit the state. “Our feeling is that this is a crisis that calls for presidential leadership, and we're glad to see the president is coming,” Advocate Editor Peter Kovacs told Fox News’ “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.” “The magnitude of the devastation is something you really have to come here to see.” An editorial in the newspaper, the largest in Louisiana, on Thursday asked that Obama visit the state before his vacation ends Sunday in Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., saying the president should “back his bags now” and leave the “playground for the posh and well connected.” However, Obama is scheduled to visit Louisiana on Tuesday,,louisiana flooding news ...ادامه مطلب

  A federal judge Friday ordered Hillary Clinton to answer questions from a conservative watchdog group about her use of a private email server when she served as secretary of state. U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan issued the order as part of a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch. The group had sought to question Clinton under oath and in person, but the judge ruled she would only have to answer questions in writing. FBI Director James Comey announced last month that  the agency would not seek criminal charges against Clinton after an investigation into her email use, although he concluded she been "extremely careless" in her handling of sensitive material. Judicial Watch's Director of Investigations Chris Farrell said that while they would have preferred to have Clinton answer questions in person, the decision represented a victory for the organization. “Judicial Watc,breaking news jayalalitha judgement,breaking news about judgement,breaking news mayweather paid judges ...ادامه مطلب

Magda Goebbels, left, Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels in 1938. Even 71 years after she last typed a letter for one of the most infamous monsters of the Adolf Hitler regime, a former secretary for Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels refers to the murder of six million people as “the matter of the Jews” and says telling her life story has nothing to do with “clearing my conscience.” Brunhilde Pomsel, 105, spoke to The Guardian shortly after a film about her time as a Nazi aide, "A German Life," was released at the Munich Film Festival. Pomsel was one of Goebbels’ six secretaries, hired by the ministry of propaganda in 1942 when she was 31 years old. She described Goebbels – who rallied Germany to Hitler’s cause and covered up the German ruler’s crimes – in glowing terms, commenting on his “gentlemanly countenance” and remarking about his well-kept nails. “He ha, ...ادامه مطلب

FILE - In this Dec. 23, 2015 file photo, Japan's Emperor Akihito waves to well-wishers as he appears on the balcony of the Imperial Palace to mark his 82nd birthday in Tokyo. (AP) TOKYO –  Japan's emperor expressed conce about fulfilling his duties as he ages in an address to the public Monday that was remarkable for its rarity and its hinted possibility that he may want to abdicate in a few years. "When I consider my age of over 80, as well as my gradually deteriorating physical condition despite being luckily healthy at this moment, I am conceed about being able to fulfill by duties as a symbol with the utmost efforts, as I have done so far," Akihito said in a 10-minute recorded speech broadcast on national television. Japan's post-World War II constitution restricts what the emperor can say as a symbolic monarch with no political power. As expected, Akihito avoided explicit mention of abdication, which could have violated those restrictions. Responding to his message, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said he takes seriously what Akihito said. "I think we have to thoroughly think what we can do to accommodate his conces, taking into consideration the emperor's age and the current burden of official duties," Abe said. The 82-year-old monarch spoke publicly after recent media reports that he may want to abdicate because he did not want to cling to the title if his duties had to be severely reduced. Abdication is not allowed under the current imperial law, largely inherited from the prewar Constitution that banned the practice as a potential risk to political stability. Media reports say the govement may consider a special law for one-time abdication just for Akihito as an exception. Akihito suggested in his speech a need to consider how to make the succession process smoother. Akihito's two sons have reportedly accepted the idea of an abdication. His elder son Crown Prince Naruhito is the likely successor. Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب

This undated photo shows Rep. Scott Rigell, R-Va. (AP) Rep. Scott Rigell, R-Va. said Saturday that he would support Libertarian Gary Johnson for president over GOP nominee Donald Trump. "I’ve always said I will not vote for Donald Trump and I will not vote for Hillary Clinton," Rigell told The New York Times.  Rigell is the third Republican House member this week to say he would not vote for the real estate mogul, who has caused an uproar on the campaign trail with a series of controversial comments.  On Tuesday, Rep. Richard Hanna, R-N.Y., wrote in an op-ed that he would vote for Clinton instead of Trump, whom Hanna called "offensive and narcissistic," as well as "a world-class panderer." Both Hanna and Rigell are retiring from Congress following this election.  The day after Hanna's op-ed was published, Rep.

  A man wielding a machete and shouting "Allahu Akbar" injured two female police officers Saturday outside a police station in southe Belgium before being shot and killed, police said. Police reported that the injured officers were “out of danger.” The attack took place around 4 p.m. local time near the main police station in Charleroi. According to RTBF state broadcasting, one officer suffered severe injuries to her face while her colleague was slightly injured. It said a third officer shot the assailant. Charleroi police spokesman David Quinaux said the attacker carried the machete in a sports bag and pulled it out as he arrived at a security checkpoint outside police headquarters. Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon said it wasn't immediately clear if the assault, which he called an "act of barbarism" was the deed of a single person or something more elaborate. "We don't know if this is the action of a lone wolf," Jambon told RTF television. Islamist bombers killed 32 people in suicide attacks in Brussels in March, and many of the jihadists who carried out attacks on Paris last November in which 130 people died were based in Belgium, according to Reuters. Belgium Prime Minister Charles Michel said in a tweet in French that he “strongly” condemned the attack. “Our thoughts go to the victims, their relatives and the police services,” he said.

  Sixty-one percent of voters think Hillary Clinton is dishonest, yet she’s opened up a big lead over Donald Trump in the latest Fox News Poll. Here’s why: majorities think Clinton is nevertheless qualified to be president, and has the temperament and knowledge to serve effectively.

After the conventions, the Clinton-Kaine ticket leads the Trump-Pence ticket by 10 points (49-39 percent) in the race for the White House. Clinton’s advantage is outside the poll’s margin of error.
