  • Sarah Root's father testifies before Congress

    The father of a Council Bluffs woman killed in a deadly hit and run in January is on Capitol Hill ready to talk to Congress. Sarah Root's father Scott will testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform today. Investigators say Eswin Mejia was in the country illegally and racing drunk when he slammed into Root's SUV and killing her. Police arrested Mejia for motor vehicle homicide and he disappeared after getting bailed out of jail. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Sarah Saldana was also at the hearing and spoke directly to Root's father. "That the D.A. said...

    Three masked men attempted to enter and rob rooms on multiple floors in the University of Massachusetts’ Washington Residential Building around 4 a.m. on May 1. Two men were taken into custody after initially resisting, said Ed Blaguszewski, the director of the Office of News and Media Relations at UMass. Both arrests were of UMass students, but the UMass Police Department believes the third, who remains at large, is not a UMass student. The arrested men’s charges included two counts of armed burglary each, larceny under $250, disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, resisting police officers making a lawful arrest, and...

    These are the strange and tortuous days in Presumptive Trump America. It’s Cinco de Mayo, and the Republican National Committee just put out a statement honoring “the many ways Mexican-Americans have enriched our country’s culture.” It’s not clear whether this includes the millions of them that the party’s likely standard-bearer has vowed to deport, but these are the kinds of awkward matters that will preoccupy Presumptive Trump America in the weeks and months ahead. Where to even begin? Maybe here, with something that popped onto my Twitter machine yesterday via The Manchester Union-Leader: “N.H. Senator Ayotte Will Support — but...

    Leviticus 22:25 Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruptionis in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you. For Donald Trump to fly out to America’s outback to give a speech tells what type of man he is. He is a man of his word and he told people he would be here so he flew six hours from Omaha of all places to give a speech that exhausted the crowd while he still looked fresh after going over an hour with...
  • Pregnant Connecticut Teen Who Tested Positive for Zika Virus Says She Will Keep Her Baby

    A pregnant Connecticut teen who tested positive for the Zika virus has decided to carry her baby to full term despite the risks of birth defects. "I'm not happy that my baby is going to be born with Zika but God has given me a miracle," Sara Mujica tells PEOPLE. The 17-year-old from Danbury, Connecticut, says that doctors told her she would never be able to conceive because she had meningitis at age 15. "Doctors said that I would never get pregnant so this is a big miracle for me," she says. Mujica and her fiancé, Victor Cruz, 19, learned...

    Campaign 2016 went down the rabbit hole and straight into Wonderland One of the remarkable exceptions to the rule of Pavlovian conditioning can be found within Washington’s pundit and political class. No matter how many times conventional wisdom is proven wrong, Washington salivates every time it hears it. Bloviating pontificators inside the Beltway build entire careers just spouting conventional wisdom. And the current, faulty conventional wisdom is that Hillary Clinton will inevitably make Kibbles n’ Bits of Donald Trump in the general election. What the prognosticators fail to realize is that this election season long ago went down a rabbit...

    EUGENE, Ore. — An unrestrained Donald Trump called Hillary Clinton an "unbelievably nasty, mean enabler" who "destroyed" the lives of her husband's mistresses during a rally in Oregon on Friday night. The comments, made during an evening rally in Eugene, Ore., marked the sharpest tone he's taken against the Democratic frontrunner since becoming his party's presumptive nominee, and the first time he's been so direct in referencing Bill Clinton's affairs in months. "She's been the total enabler. She would go after these women and destroy their lives," Trump said. "She was an unbelievably nasty, mean enabler, and what she did...

    NY Post ^ | May 6, 2016
    We hope Sens. Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker and Kirsten Gillibrand are giving that devastating new profile of resident Obama’s foreign-policy guru a careful read. Because they’ll learn how they were all played for fools on the Iran nuclear deal by that aide, Ben Rhodes — and the resident. That applies especially to Schumer, who will be the Senate Democratic leader come January. Booker and Gillibrand hewed to the party line in backing the deal. Schumer gave it a thumb’s-down — but then refused to lobby his colleagues to take his side. Sen. Bob Menendez, on the other hand, is looking...

    The mother of a woman who police say was killed in a collision by an undocumented immigrant is supporting Donald Trump, despite voting for Barack Obama in the last two presidential elections. Michelle Root told The World-Herald that Trump’s campaign workers had reached out to her a couple of weeks after her daughter was killed. Sarah Root, 21, died on Jan. 31, a day after her graduation from Bellevue University, when Eswin Mejia drove drunk and slammed his truck into her car, Omaha police have said. Mejia, 19, is from Honduras and came to the country illegally. He posted $5,000...

    Two prominent House allies of Paul Ryan broke with the speaker Friday over his decision to withhold support from Donald Trump, comments that point to a growing split among congressional Republicans over how to deal with the presumptive nominee. Reps. Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia and Dennis Ross of Florida — who, as House whips, help Republican leaders muster support to pass legislation — told POLITICO in interviews on Friday that they disagreed with Ryan’s decision to break with Trump in a bombshell interview a day earlier. Both lawmakers said they believe their leader is in denial about how Republican voters...

    Panel discussion on the week's biggest news stories - 55 minutes of fact-based analysis and commentary. Enjoy! Now that the Republican primary has concluded, Donald Trump promises to be the most disruptive presidential candidate in decades. What do his positions on trade and immigration mean for the country, and why are so many “conservatives” so opposed to his candidacy? Across the ocean, London has elected their first Muslim mayor. Along with Merkel’s insistence that borders remain open, is there a way to reverse the Islamification of western culture? Meanwhile, security concerns continue domestically as the FBI busts a would-be terrorist...

    Last year at CPAC I asked Donald Trump what he thought about the prospect of Elizabeth Warren for president. He paused just long enough to blast a stare at me so riddled with disgust and nausea you would have thought Mexico had just annexed Mar-a-Lago through eminent domain. The man despises Warren. And so it was stunning that Tuesday morning, as Trump celebrated his victory in the Indiana primary clinching the Republican nomination, Warren greeted him with a vicious Twitter salvo: “@realdonaldtrump has built his campaign on racism, sexism, and xenophobia.”

    Leonardo DiCaprio devotes his acceptance speech for the Oscar he finally won after all these years to global warming, and people flip out. How courageous. How thoughtful. What a smart and conscientious guy. “You have to listen when Leonardo DiCaprio speaks out,” said one breathless Facebook post. No, you do not. You don’t have to listen to him blather on about global warming any more than you have to taker Hugo Chavez’ side because Sean Penn thinks he’s helping the little guy and not, as every sensible person on Earth seemed to recognize, looting the country. If you think his...

    Thanks largely to Obama’s recent “engagement” Stalinist Cuba has quickly become the absolute COOLEST place on earth. Close on the heels of Katy Perry, The Rolling Stones and the Obama family itself-- this week Karl Lagerfeld showcased his Chanel “cruise line” with a fashion-show extravaganza where Havana’s Prado Street served as the catwalk/runway for the world’s coolest models while Gisele Bundchen, Tilda Swinton and Vin Diesel monkeyshined for the paparazzi on the sidelines.Not to be outdone, the Kardashians just arrived in Havana to shoot their next show. Attaining such status for coolness among the world’s coolest people is not easy....
