While holding a press conference in Florida, the leader of the Republican party defended Russia as he spoke with confidence that Russia had nothing to do with the hacking of the DNC. Then Trump made this request to the Russians;
“If it is Russia, which it’s probably not, nobody knows who it is, But if it is Russia, it’s really bad for a different reason, because it shows how little respect they have for our country. When they would hack into a major party and get everything, but it would be interesting. I will tell you this. Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you find the thirty thousand emails that are missing. I think you’ll probably be rewarded mightily by our press. Let’s see if that happens next.”
On Monday, while making her speech that Hillary Clinton should be this country’s next president, the First Lady of the United States made an excellent and heartfelt case for why Donald Trump should not be allowed anywhere near the White House. Why he shouldn’t be allowed anywhere in Washington for that matter.
He said the direction of the party makes him “want to cry.” But after attending last week’s Republican Convention, all his fears about the Republican party were reinforced.
The current direction of the party, he said, “makes me want to cry.”
“I’ve invested a lot in that party,” Madsen added. Madsen, a delegate who supported Sen. Ted Cruz, now identifies as a Libertarian. The Republican lawmaker said the RNC last week “reinforced” his decision to change party affiliation.
Bernie Sanders was right all along. Seems the DNC was in it for Hillary Clinton from the start. With the recent Wiki-Leaks publication proving Sanders’ point, Debbie Wasserman Schultz has announced she will step down as chair of the DNC.
In a statement Sunday, Schultz said the best way to accomplish the election of Clinton is to relinquish her chairmanship when the Democratic National Convention comes to a close Thursday night. But in a sign the Florida congresswoman is still determined to be heard before what could be a crowd of hostile delegates, she also indicated she still planned to speak.
“As party chair, this week I will open and close the convention and I will address our delegates about the stakes involved in this election not only for Democrats, but for all Americans,” she said.
Schultz’s imminent departure casts a cloud over the start of the Democrats’ four-day convention as it underlines the remaining divisions between the liberal supporters of Bernie Sanders and the party establishment that’s been loyal to Clinton. DNC vice chair Donna Brazile, a longtime party activist and consultant, will serve as interim chair through the November election.
Jon Stewart is Back… well…sorta! The recently retired host of Comedy Central’s Daily Show, made an appearance to t Stephen Colbert’s Late Show and let loose on the Republican party, Fox News and, oh yea… Donald Trump!
She apparently brushed Donald Trump’s wife plagiarism right off her shoulder.
The First Lady was also joined by Missy Elliott and James Corden of The Late Late Show. As James drove his SUV around the White House grounds, Mrs Obama sat in the passenger’s seat singing a variety of hits.

Michael Moore is no Trump fan, on the contrary, he dislikes everything Trump or Republican for that matter. But on Wednesday night’s RNC special hosted by Bill Maher,” Moore dropped some sobering food for thought – the fact that Donald Trump could possibly be the next president come November. “I’m sorry to have to be the buzzkill here so early on, but I think Trump is going to win… People are in denial of this, but the chance of [Trump] winning is really, really good.”
There were boos from the audience. “Yes, boo because you don’t want him to be President,” said Moore, “but don’t live in denial about this. Because the very things that we are all [joking about], this is music to [Trump supporters’] ears. We’re sitting here in our bubble.”
The book, called “The Art of the Deal” was written by Tony Schwartz and released in 1987. It is often referenced by Donald Trump on the campaign trail and has helped propell Mr. Trump to Republican presidential nominee status. In it, Tony Schwartz portrayed Donald Trump as a clever businessman, able to use his exceptional gifts for the good of all. But now, years after The Art of the Deal was released, Mr. Schwartz is speaking out, saying that his book he wrote about Donald Trump is all fiction.
In an interview with The New Yorker magazinefor its July 25 issue, Mr. Schwartz explained publicly, and for the first time, what he learned from living in Mr. Trump’s world. Here are some highlights.
The Art of Regret
Mr. Schwartz, a former magazine writer who said he worked on the book because he needed the money, told the writer Jane Mayer that he painted Mr. Trump in the most positive light that he could, thinking that a sympathetic character would be better for the book’s sales than a story about a cruel tycoon. If he could do it over again, however, Mr. Schwartz said the book would be titled “The Sociopath.”
“I feel a deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is,” Mr. Schwartz said. “I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes, there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization.”
“He’s a living black hole!” Mr. Schwartz said he used to tell his wife after long days with Mr. Trump. He described Mr. Trump as a painful interview subject who could not handle questions that required any depth to answer and who had little recollection of his youth. When pressed, Mr. Schwartz said, Mr. Trump would grow fidgety, angry and sometimes quit despite the fact that they were ostensibly working together on the book. He had no attention span, Mr. Schwartz said.
“If he had to be briefed on a crisis in the Situation Room, it’s impossible to imagine him paying attention over a long period of time,” Mr. Schwartz said of Mr. Trump’s inability to focus.
A Thirst for Attention
People often ask Mr. Trump why he is really running for president, and he has always responded by saying that he wants to make America great. Mr. Schwartz has a different theory, explaining the bid as part of a continuum of Mr. Trump’s need for attention. He recalled that as a young man, Mr. Trump was happy to receive publicity of any kind, luring the tabloids to chronicle his life. His turn as the host of “The Apprentice,” the NBC reality show, solidified him as a media star, and running for president was the next logical step, Mr. Schwartz said.
“If he could run for emperor of the world, he would,” Mr. Schwartz said.
It was supposed to be the brand Donald Trump and Mike Pence use to thrust themselves into the White House, but almost immediately after his VP announcement was made, and almost immediately after Trump unveils the new logo, social media saw the joke and began poking fun at the sexually suggestive logo, causing the Trump campaign to remove the logo from its website.
By Saturday morning, within a day of its unveiling, the new logo had been ridiculed endlessly on social media, and the Trump campaign had it removed from the official website.
The logo was intended to celebrate Indiana Gov. Mike Pence joining the GOP ticket as Trump’s running mate. But it couldn’t even be seen on the “Donate” page of his website alongside the news of Pence.
The Daily Kos political blog was among the first to notice that the Trump campaign apparently had given up on the new design.
The much-maligned logo, which was introduced Friday, featured an interlaced “T” and “P” in blue, with red and white stripes stretching to the right to represent a stylized U.S. flag.
It was instantly mocked on social media for having the “T” pass through the hole of the “P” in a manner that some considered sexually suggestive. Others joked that “T.P.” stands for toilet paper.
Comedian Samantha Bee, the host of “Full Frontal” and a “Daily Show” alum, shared a GIF on Twitter in which the “T” repeatedly thrusts down into the P, causing the bottom red stripe to bounce up and down. It was captioned, “Breaking the mattress of America.”
Although the Zika virus is mainly transmitted from mosquitoes to human, sexual transmissions from men to women or between two men have also been documented. But in New York, there is a confirmed transmission of Zika from a woman to a man.
“This represents the first reported occurrence of female-to-male sexual transmission of Zika virus,” said a report issued on Friday by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
The evidence of a previously undocumented transmission means is the latest twist in a viral outbreak that continues to baffle and surprise leading experts. It is prompting officials to rethink, once again, the guidance for health care providers and the general public on how to limit the danger of infection, as the pool of those who could be at risk widens.
Much about how the virus works is a mystery, and it remains challenging to detect; 80 percent of those infected show no symptoms. For those who do get sick, the illness is often mild, and there is no treatment.
But Zika can pose a dire risk to pregnant women. It targets developing nerve cells in fetuses and can lead to a birth defect called microcephaly, in which babies are born with abnormally small heads and brain damage. It may also cause developmental problems after birth.
Zika is primarily transmitted by the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, which thrives in warm, tropical climates. But 11 countries have documented cases of sexual transmission from a man to a woman. Among the 1,130 people who have received a Zika diagnosis in the continental United States, including 320 pregnant women, the C.D.C. has reported 15 cases of sexual transmission.
This new ad by the Clinton campaign can very well go down as a masterpiece.
We know the world is watching. We know people are paying close attention to the nonsense coming out of Donald Trump’s mouth, and while some have dismissed him as an ignorant blowhard who will never be elected president, others watch and wonder about the future if Donald Trump becomes their leader.
This new ad by the Clinton campaign shows a few of the more memorable clips from Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, viewed by kids… our future.

It was supposed to happen on Friday at 11am and for the entire week, cable news organizations went dizzy with anticipation trying to figure out who Trump would choose as his Vice President. Well since the news broke that a terrorist attack had happened Nice, France, Trump is using the event to gain more mentions from the cable news talkers. He has now postponed his announcement.
In a tweet to his followers, Trump said, In light of the horrible attack in Nice, France, I have postponed tomorrow's news conference concerning my Vice Presidential announcement.
French officials say “at least 70 people” were killed in the terrorist attack where a truck plowed into a crowd in Nice.
It should also be noted that Indiana Gov. Mike Pence got the VP nod. MSNBC is reporting that Trump’s campaign has confirmed Pence as The One!
In light of the horrible attack in Nice, France, I have postponed tomorrow’s news conference concerning my Vice Presidential announcement.
