A man who secretly filmed women undressing, showering and going to the toilet at a university has been spared jail. Luke Mallaband, 23, of Walsall, placed recording equipment at locations around the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich, including at student accommodation and within the library toilets. He was caught when a woman discovered she was being filmed and reported it to police, Norwich Magistrates' Court heard on Thursday. Jobless Mallaband admitted six voyeurism offences at an earlier hearing. He has been banned from all female and gender neutral public toilets for three years, given a curfew and a...

Joke not a joke. Way back in the olden days - 2015 to be precise - I really believed that Joe Biden was going to run for President. It just made sense. Despite his inarguable status as America’s touchy-feely gaffe machine, ‘Crazy Uncle Joe’ has a proven track record of winning. At the time, I felt (and still feel) that Biden would have been a much more dangerous candidate than Hillary. Anyone with a pair of third-rate eyeballs could see that Mrs. Clinton was going to be a disaster. Biden may be wrong about everything but, unlike Hillary Clinton, he...

Vice President Biden on Monday raised the possibility of a presidential bid in 2020. “I am going to run for president in 2020,” Biden told a group of reporters in the Capitol when asked about his political future. Asked if he was kidding, the 74-year-old Biden paused for four seconds before saying he is “not committing not to run.” “I am not committed to anything. I learned a long time ago, fate has a strange way of intervening.”

Third Way, a progressive think tank with ties to the Democracy Alliance, has removed newly appointed Ebola czar Ron Klain from its website, following a Washington Free Beacon report. The Free Beacon reported Friday on Klain’s status as a trustee for Third Way, and his past experience lobbying on behalf of a drug company that was accused of denying life-saving drugs to dying cancer patients. The choice of Klain to head the administration’s emergency response to Ebola was criticized as a political move. Klain is a political operative with no medical experience and a former advisor to former Vice President...

Joe Biden is at the top of the internal short list Hillary Clinton’s transition team is preparing for her pick to be secretary of state, a source familiar with the planning tells POLITICO.

“Why haven’t we sent a message yet to [Vladimir] Putin?” Meet The Press host Chuck Todd asked in an interview airing on Sunday. Biden smiled and paused before answering. “We’re sending a message,” he said. “We have the capacity to do it, and the message will be sent—he’ll know it, and it’ll be at the time of our choosing and under the circumstances that have the greatest impact.” . . . “So a message is going to be sent. Will the public know it?” Todd asked. “Hope not,” Biden said.

Vice President Joe Biden added his voice Saturday to a chorus of other politicians condemning Donald Trump for lewd remarks he made about seducing women in a 2005 video that surfaced Friday. "The words are demeaning. Such behavior is an abuse of power. It's not lewd. It's sexual assault," Biden tweeted. He signed off on the message with, "–Joe," indicating that the message from his official Twitter account was written by himself.

“I aspire for one of my grandchildren to become wealthy so when they put me in the home, I’ll get a window with a view,” the vice president said. Biden then joked it’s “embarrassing” that Sanders is worth more than him. “As I pointed out, it was embarrassing that Bernie Sanders’ net worth is more than mine,” Biden said. “I have less money than a socialist. I don’t know what the hell happened to me.”

Joe Biden is throwing some serious shade at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Hot off Hillary Clinton’s health debacle that showed her collapsing outside the Sept. 11 memorial in New York City, the Democrats are desperate to turn the tables.

Vice President Joe Biden repeated a gaffe from last month on Thursday when he pointed out the military aide who travels with him carrying the nuclear launch codes. Again criticizing GOP nominee Donald Trump as unfit to be commander-in-chief during a Hillary Clinton campaign rally in Ohio, Biden cited the responsibility of holding the nuclear codes. “He has no idea what the hell he’s talking about, and guess what? That’s OK sometimes … But I’ve got a military aide with me carrying a briefcase,” Biden said, pointing to his left. “No, I mean this sincerely. That briefcase has the nuclear...

On Wednesday, America's Vice President Joe Biden will arrive in Turkey. His main mission is to smooth things over with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is getting angrier with the United States by the day. The reason Erdogan is so angry with the United States is, Erdogan says, that America still provides a safe haven to Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen, who Ankara accuses of being behind the failed military coup on July 15. Both before, but especially after the coup, the Turkish government has accused Gülen, who lives in Pennsylvania, of being a terrorist leader comparable to ISIS self-declared...

... A Japanese company named Trottla already ships child-sized sex dolls globally. Earlier this year, a Canadian man went on trial after he was arrested in 2013 for ordering such a doll. Under Canadian law, they are considered child pornography and he could go to jail for seven years. But what if dolls like these could help rather than hurt? Ron Arkin, a robotics engineer at the Georgia Institute of Technology and one of the panelists, argued that people should not only legally be permitted to have such dolls, but perhaps some should be handed prescriptions for them. In his...

Crazy Uncle Joe Strikes Again… Hillary Clinton took Joe Biden with her on the campaign trail today after a weekend of rest. Biden took to the stage to bash businessman Donald Trump. Then he gave away the Secret Service agent who was holding the nuclear codes. "Donald Trump… He cannot be trusted. There’s a guy that follows me, has the nuclear codes. So, God forbid anything happen to the president and I had to make a decision the codes are with me… He is not qualified." What an complete idiot. https://youtu.be/QNfBo8biMiE

Hillary Clinton almost took a spill on Monday as she stepped down from the podium to make way for Vice President Joe Biden during their joint campaign event in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Biden caught her arm, and Clinton laughed as she patted him on the back. “Great speech,” he said.

Vice President Joe Biden will travel to Turkey later this month to smooth over the administration’s relationship with the NATO ally. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s regime survived a coup attempt last month and has since been cracking down on journalists, academics and the military in an effort to suppress what it sees as vestiges of the coup movement. The White House said in a release that Biden's stop in Ankara will be part of a three-day trip that also includes visits to Latvia and Sweden.

Vice President Joe Biden surprised President Obama with birthday treats in the Oval Office Thursday. White House photographer Pete Souza posted a photo of Obama bending over to blow out the candles. Biden was really feeling the spirit on Obama's 55th, tweeting an image of "Joe" and "Barack" friendship bracelets earlier in the day.

Questions revolving around marriage and human sexuality are deeply felt in our homes and communities. We join with our Holy Father Pope Francis in affirming the inviolable dignity of all people and the Church’s important role in accompanying all those in need. In doing so, we also stand with Pope Francis in preserving the dignity and meaning of marriage as the union of a man and a woman. The two strands of the dignity of the person and the dignity of marriage and the family are interwoven. To pull apart one is to unravel the whole fabric. When a prominent...

Welcome, once again. What's the over/under on how many times 'treason' will be mentioned today??

John Heilemann came up with a strange way to defend Joe Biden and Barack Obama, and to attack Melania Trump, for the plagiarism in speeches each of them gave. On today’s Morning Joe, Heilemann argued that Biden and Obama’s plagiarism wasn’t as bad, because they ripped off fellow liberals: Neil Kinnock and Deval Patrick, respectively. In contrast, passages in Melania’s speech came from a 2008 Michelle Obama speech. Per Heilemann, that made Melania, or the person who prepared those passages for her, a “moronic plagiarist.” Heilemann omits one important thing: Melania is the wife of the candidate, for whom English...
