The gunman who slaughtered 49 people at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando was a confused, gay man who drank heavily, a man who claims he was his lover for two months told Univision. Omar Mateen, the deranged Muslim shooter behind the massacre, held a grudge against Latino men he met at the popular gay club because he felt used by them, the man told the network. “I’ve cried like you have no idea. But the thing that makes me want to tell the truth is that he didn’t do it for terrorism,” the man told Univision Noticias anchor Maria Elena...

Latino radio host Enrique Santos shared some tough news for Hillary Clinton: his family will not be voting for her in November. Instead, they will be voting for Donald Trump. During Santos’s show on Tuesday, the radio host told Clinton, “My father’s voting for Trump because he says that he can’t trust you. My mother says you’re a crook. And my brother says you should go to jail. What would you say to them?” notes the American Mirror. Clinton replied, “Well, number one, I would ask them not to be listening to the negative attacks that have been relentless against...

PITTSBURGH, PA -- Donald Trump's Rust Belt base isn't ready to stop believing. The Republican nominee's campaign is beset by infighting, organizational mayhem, paltry fundraising and daily controversies. But, according to a focus group of working class voters here, his White House bid remains a source of optimism among the blue-collar workers whose support he desperately needs to remain competitive in the fall. "For now, despite all the gaffes and missteps, this group of blue-collar voters find reasons to support him and dismiss the criticisms or feel he may grow into the job," said moderator Peter Hart, who conducted the...

Has the shooter’s wife left the state of Florida?" a reporter asked Lynch during her press conference Tuesday. "Right now, I don’t know exactly the answer to that," Lynch candidly replied. "I believe she was going to travel but I do not know exactly her location now."

Attorney General Loretta Lynch told Florida’s LGBT community that the “most effective” weapon at America’s disposal against Islamic terrorism is “love.” Mrs. Lynch told reporters in Orlando on Tuesday that an ongoing investigation will determine the precise motive for 29-year-old Omar Mateen’s June 12 massacre at Pulse, a gay nightclub. Mateen, a former security guard, called 911 and pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group while killing 49 people and wounding 53 others.

March for Environmental Hope A real thing, Jimmy. If truth is stranger than fiction, it should come as no surprise that Friday marks the start of the first-ever pro-nuclear power march — probably in world history — and it all starts in San Francisco. The March for Environmental Hope, a four-day trek from the City by the Bay to Sacramento, is being pitched as a family-friendly event — and in this case that means more than funnel cakes and bounce houses. Organizers are hoping to tug on the collective heart strings of America by making this about the children, as...

MSNBC: Attorney General Loretta Lynch Stumped About Orlando Terrorists Motive… Posted on June 21, 2016 by sundance According to MSNBC U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch can’t seem to figure out the motive of the Orlando terrorist, Omar Mateen. Puzzled they are, stumped even. They just can’t quite figure it out. Motive? Maybe a Youtube Video… or something.

Democrat Hillary Clinton leads Republican Donald Trump 47 percent to 42 percent in a new CNN/ORC poll released Tuesday. When voters are given a choice of a four-way race, Clinton's advantage over Trump narrows to 42 percent to 38 percent, with Libertarian Gary Johnson receiving 9 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein 7 percent.

Donald Trump’s campaign money problems aren’t problems at all, the presumptive Republican nominee said Tuesday morning. The billionaire real estate mogul kicked off the month of June with just $1.3 million in his campaign account, a fraction of the $42 million Hillary Clinton had on hand. But that financial gulf between the two campaigns did not appear to worry Trump though during an appearance on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends” Tuesday morning. “We want to keep it lean. I'm not looking to spend all this money. You know, I hear people spend a billion dollars. I’m saying, how do you...

Donald Trump admitted that he regrets calling Sen. Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas" because "I think it's a tremendous insult to Pocahontas." In an interview with Fox News's Bill O'Reilly on "The O'Reilly Factor" on Monday, Trump unleashed on Warren, arguing that she "wouldn't" be his first choice to be ambassador to Tonga. "You know she's been a very, very poor senator," Trump insisted. "You know the funny thing about Elizabeth Warren, she's been a lousy senator. She's done a terrible job." When asked if he regrets calling Warren "Pocahontas," Trump replied, "I do. I do regret calling her Pocahontas because I...

Fairfax, Va.— The executive director of the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), Chris W. Cox, today issued the following statement in response to political maneuvering in the United States Senate that prevented the passage of legislation to prohibit terrorists from obtaining firearms: “Today, the American people witnessed an embarrassing display in the United States Senate. President Obama and his allies proved they are more interested in playing politics than addressing their failure to keep Americans safe from the threat of radical Islamic terrorism. “We all agree that terrorists should not be allowed to purchase or possess firearms....

TWIN FALLS | Authorities are denying reports that Syrians gang-raped a child at knife-point in a Twin Falls apartment complex earlier this month, saying the false claims are being spread to incite anti-refugee sentiments. “There were no Syrians involved, there was no knife involved, there was no gang-rape,” Twin Falls County Prosecutor Grant Loebs said Monday morning. ..... Loebs said he didn’t want to “fan the flames of anti-Syrian refugee people” and suspects the rumors swirling around the Internet that the boys were Syrian is the work of a local group opposed to refugee resettlement. “There is a small group...

Regular readers of this blog know I’m a trained hypnotist. I’ve been studying the ways of persuasion – in all its forms – for decades. My background in persuasion is the reason I recognized last summer that Trump would exceed most people’s expectations. He was pitch-perfect on persuasion technique. If you don’t study persuasion, Trump’s actions appear random and even dangerous. If you do know how persuasion works, you probably realize Trump is in a league of his own. You think I’m overstating the case for persuasion. Perhaps you think Trump is doing well for a variety of reasons that...

Dr. Michio Kaku, a theoretical physicist at the City College of New York (CUNY) and co-founder of String Field Theory, says theoretical particles known as “primitive semi-radius tachyons” are physical evidence that the universe was created by a higher intelligence. After analyzing the behavior of these sub-atomic particles - which can move faster than the speed of light and have the ability to “unstick” space and matter – using technology created in 2005, Kaku concluded that the universe is a “Matrix” governed by laws and principles that could only have been designed by an intelligent being. “I have concluded that...

The part of the referendum campaign that has angered me most is this: the suggestion, repeatedly made by pro EU-persons, that there is something narrow, mean and small-minded about wanting to live in an independent country that makes its own laws and controls its own borders. I can think of no other country where the elite are so hostile to their own nation, and so contemptuous of it. I have spent many years trying to work out why this is. I think it is because Britain-the great, free, gentle country it once was and might be again-disproves all their theories....

President Obama's final year in office — which was expected to be a time when he would give symbolic speeches and try to cut a few deals with Republicans — is turning into an all-out campaign to stop Donald Trump from succeeding him. In recent public remarks, including his endorsement of Hillary Clinton even before the Democratic primaries were finished, Obama has inserted himself more directly into the campaign than previous second-term presidents. He is effectively turning the election into "Obama-Clinton v. Trump," instead of a traditional contest between the two people with their names on the ballot. Related: Obama...

LAS VEGAS — Donald Trump on Saturday claimed most of the money he's been collecting at his recent fundraisers is going to the Republican Party, but also threatened to cut the GOP off if support from the party wavers. "Right now I'm raising a lot of money for the Republican Party, and a lot of beneficiaries to that, and I like doing it," Trump said. "Life is like a two-way street, right?" Trump said. "They have to [help], otherwise I'll just keep doing what I'm doing, I'll just keep funding my own campaign…for me, that's the easy way," he said....
