GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump said Monday that former President Bill Clinton has a "terrible record of women abuse." "If Hillary thinks she can unleash her husband, with his terrible record of women abuse, while playing the women's card on me, she's wrong!" he tweeted, citing Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton and her spouse. Trump's comments mark the latest escalation of his war of words with the Clinton family over gender and sexism. He previously accused Bill Clinton of having sexist tendencies last weekend after reports emerged that the former president plans on campaigning with his wife next year. "Hillary...

he US supreme court yesterday issued an order disbarring former president Bill Clinton from practising law before the high court. The ruling is seen as marking the official end of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. The ruling struck a jarring note in the current mood of national unity. Mr Clinton has been praised for the supportive role he has been playing and the way he has thrown his political weight behind President George Bush. The court did not explain its reasons for the disbarment, although such a decision usually follows disbarment in a lower court. In April, Mr Clinton's Arkansas law...

Most,...

Richard doesn't get out on the town much. He has been confined to a wheelchair since hip surgery in 2009 that he says went awry. Here's how he explained it last summer in a rare public appearance, at Nashville's Wildhorse Saloon hosted by the National Museum of African American Music: "I came to Nashville to see my sister. I bought a home for me and her here in the hills. And I went in for surgery on my hip. I was walking on my way in but I couldn't walk out. The hip surgery was really bad for me. I...

An arrest warrant has been issued for a teenager who, two years ago, made national news when he was sentenced to probation in Texas for a drunken driving crash that killed four people. Ethan Couch's defense coined an infamous defense -- that he suffered from "affluenza," or that he was a rich kid who was less to blame for his crime because his parents didn't set limits for him. Ethan Couch's probation officer couldn't reach him this week, Couch's lawyers told CNN. Couch's mother, with whom the 18-year-old lives, is also missing, said Scott Brown and William Reagan. Their apparent...

In a recent disquieting article for the New York Times, Choire Sicha investigates a curious new challenge for gyms: Some men want to shower and change without ever being publicly nude, and they expect their gyms to build locker rooms that accommodate that desire. Drawing upon the experiences of gym managers and architects, Sicha explains that over the last quarter-century, men have grown increasingly uneasy with being naked in the locker room. While older men generally remain comfortable being undressed among others, younger ones insist on maximum privacy, pining for a way to strip, shower, and change clothes without even...

If there was any doubt in any sane person’s mind about Jared Fogle, the following will erase it. As disgusting as it is, I think it’s important to bear witness. It’s important not to turn a blind eye. When he makes his inevitable rehabilitation tour, we need to remind him who and what he is. Bob Fredericks, NY Post: Disgraced Subway pitchman Jared Fogle was caught on secretly recorded audio tapes boasting of his sick attraction to children — and said he wanted to travel “across the world” to fulfill his desires. “I would fly us clear across the world...

Why are they shocked? To Hazaa Said even a 3-month old baby would do. Islam puts no restrictions on pedophilia at all. And there is no age restriction either. An adult Muslim male can engage in “thighing” or Mufaakhathat, the masturbating between the legs of a female infant or actually sodomizing her, on babies and children who are too small to be penetrated. On the contrary, the Muslim male is free to abuse and exploit anything and anyone. Only admissible homosexuality is punishable but even there Muslims have found a way around it by claiming that if you’re the “top”...

EXCERPT Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush had an awkward response Wednesday during a Q&A at the Libre Forum in Las Vegas when he was asked to name his favorite superhero. The answer: Batman. The addendum no one asked for: Bush has eyes for "Supergirl" star Melissa Benoist. "I saw that "Supergirl" is on TV,” Bush, the former Florida governor, said at the event, sponsored by the Koch brothers-backed Libre Initiative. “I saw it when I was working out this morning.

"....First, Weiner tried consulting. Then came another sexting scandal, a failed bid to become New York’s mayor, and a more successful bid to become a full-time Twitter personality and a part-time political commentator. There was also, of course, that appearance in “Sharknado 3.” And now, Weiner has exited a high-profile job at a public relations firm less than two months after it began. “He understands that his presence here has created noise and distraction that just isn’t helpful,” MWW chief executive Michael Kempner wrote in an internal memo, as the New York Post reported.....

Time to move on. Too juvenile and too much name-calling. Not near the level of critical thinking that used to go on back in the day. I wish the best to all the good ones left out there.
