A 13-year-old has been tragically killed after a “suicidal” driver “deliberately” crashed his car into a busy pizzeria near Paris. Cops have arrested the suspect in the town of Sept-Sorts in Seine-et-Marne, east of the French capital, and at least 12 people have been left injured following the horrific smash, reports local media.

A mysterious IT specialist, who goes by the name The Forensicator, published a detailed report that appears to disprove the theory that the DNC was hacked by Russia. The documents were copied on July 5th, five days before Seth Rich was murdered. The Forensicator summarized the complex report into 10 bullet points.

Many Americans probably have forgotten, or never knew, that a 28-year-old female staff member was found dead in the summer of 2001 in the office of U.S. Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-FL). Officials in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, determined that Lori Klausutis died from an accident. The mainstream press largely ignored the case, but our review of several investigative reports indicates the official finding is highly questionable.

"Back in the 1960s, (Claude) Castonguay chaired a Canadian government committee studying health reform and recommended that his home province of Quebec — then the largest and most affluent in the country — adopt government-administered health care, covering all citizens through tax levies "We thought we could resolve the system's problems by rationing services or injecting massive amounts of new money into it," says Castonguay. But now he prescribes a radical overhaul: "We are proposing to give a greater role to the private sector so that people can exercise freedom of choice."

Today, law enforcement officials shared findings to date of the investigation into the shooting that occurred at the Eugene Simpson Stadium Park on Wednesday, June 14, 2017. Analysis of Hodgkinson’s laptop computers show online activity the night before the shooting; however, no Internet searches were discovered the morning of the shooting. The Internet searches Hodgkinson performed the night before the shooting included a Google map search from Alexandria to his home in Belleville and a Google search of the “2017 Republican Convention.” While online, he also accessed a financial account and one of his Facebook accounts, where he visited a...

Another interesting contradiction from the pre-released James Comey congressional opening testimony statement surrounds a part of his explanation for not informing Attorney General Jeff Sessions, about the content of a February 14th oval office discussion with President Trump about Mike Flynn, against the backdrop of the timing.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham says he has further questions about President Donald Trump's business dealings in relation to Russia. The South Carolina senator asked former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper about the matter on Monday as he testified before a Senate panel.

The University of Missouri has no one to blame for their current crisis but their own leadership. After the campus protests of 2016, they could have corrected course. Instead they did nothing to address the problem and now they’re paying the price. Mizzou enrollment plunge continues: Three more dorms shutting down next year

A shock leaked poll obtained by Belgian newspaper La Libre shows Marine Le Pen leading the French Presidential race on 26%, with conservative Francois Fillon in second place on 22%. If that result played out today it would mean that establishment favourite Emmanuel Macron would be knocked out and that Le Pen would take on Fillon one-on-one.

President Donald Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court could have a say in rulings on religious freedom, transgender bathrooms in schools, and private property rights, if he is confirmed before April 16. One is regarding whether a Christian school in Missouri is entitled to compete for the same state dollars as nonreligious schools. The outcome could affect so-called Blaine amendments in states across the country. The second case involves property rights in Wisconsin. The third is a transgender bathroom case out of a Virginia high school, and how broadly the federal government may interpret Title IX, a federal law that...

GLENDALE, Ariz. — There certainly are legitimate reasons to hate North Carolina basketball, and thus this particular collection of Tar Heels who defeated the Gonzaga Bulldogs for the 2017 NCAA championship on Monday night at University of Phoenix Stadium. That’s not your problem with them, though. Is it? Michael Powell of The New York Times wrote this week a scathing column about North Carolina athletics and its involvement in the scandal in the university’s African and Afro-American Studies department in the years leading up to 2011, a series of activities that have been investigated by the NCAA since 2014 without...

The analysis comes from a Jefferies report issued on Thursday and follows Anthem CEO Joseph Swedish's warning from two months ago that the company would be deciding "whether or not we surgically extract ourselves from certain rating regions, or even on a larger scale, depending on the stability of the marketplace."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Some tactics Russia used to meddle in last year's presidential election would give shivers to anyone who believes in American democracy, the Senate intelligence committee's top Democrat says.

Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina on Monday called for a special prosecutor and an independent commission to handle the investigation into Russia's involvement in the 2016 elections.

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez has launched a major reshuffling of the party's organization that has been stung by recent crisis — and the DNC has requested the resignation letters of all current staffers be submitted by next month.

The health-care lobby is out in force again, but this time the allegiances are scrambled and unpredictable. rogressives campaigning to defend Barack Obama’s signature health-care law may find their biggest assist comes from the unlikeliest of allies: the billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch and their conservative network.

Germany has demanded answers from the US over claims by WikiLeaks that there is a CIA listening post in Frankfurt. Berlin's top prosecutor will examine documents released by the anti-secrecy group and launch an investigation if it sees concrete indications of wrongdoing, a spokesman said.

Many of those sounding the loudest alarm bells over Russian influence in U.S. politics were curiously silent when far greater concerns were raised about the Clintons.

While it’s quite legitimate to be concerned about Russian influence in America politics, its rather remarkable to watch the dizzying pace by which people who in the past have expressed little concern about the matter are now suddenly obsessed with it. There has been plenty of finger pointing at those in President Donald Trump’s orbit about their business ties to Russia.

I keep thinking one of these days, politicians will remember the internet exists, and along with it, evidence of almost about everything they’ve said or done while in office (and often outside of the office, too — just ask David Wu). Alas… As the Trump cabinet targeting continues, Sen. Claire McCaskill stepped in a huge pile by claiming she never had a meeting or call with a Russian ambassador.
