Some board members and large investors in WeWork are privately discussing whether and how to replace the company’s co-founder, Adam Neumann, as chief executive to salvage the company’s fortunes, three people involved in the talks said. Among those now favoring removing the charismatic but sometimes erratic Mr. Neumann is SoftBank, the Japanese technology giant that is the biggest investor in the co-working company. The discussions have come as some major money managers have said that they would not invest in WeWork unless an experienced operator was brought in, these people said. For the moment, the talks about Mr. Neumann’s role...

President Donald Trump did no longer endorse Utah Sen. Mike Lee’s inexperienced-cards-for-India bill when he spoke at the Sunday rally in Texas attended by 50,000 Indian supporters of India’s Top Minister Narendra Modi. Trump spoke at the Houston rally after a internal most invite from the visiting leader who heads the Hindu political celebration in India’s chaotically various democracy. Nonetheless Trump did no longer endorse, praise or even mention Lee’s Indians-before-People bill, even though Modi’s 50,000 supporters strongly give a boost to it, Modi’s executive is lobbying for the bill, and Lee is attempting to push it via the Senate...

Chanel Miller — the “Emily Doe” who became a #MeToo movement champion with a powerful victim-impact statement against her assailant — has given her first television interview.

How is it that ever since the government began telling us what to eat, we have gotten fatter and sicker? In 1977, when the government first set dietary guidelines, the average American male weighed 170 pounds. He now weighs 197. It’s not any better for women —145 to 170. And you don’t need an academic study to know the same thing is happening to kids. Just look around. The weight gain has real-life consequences: the percentage of Americans diagnosed with type 2 diabetes—a condition that can lead to severe medical issues—has risen from 2% in 1977 to over 9% in...

Fox Business host Lou Dobbs has gone after Utah Sen. Mike Lee for supporting a bill that would lift per-country gaps on permanent residency. The bill was ultimately blocked in the Senate. Dobbs described the bill as an “absolute dream” for outsourcers on “Lou Dobbs Tonight.” The bill's called the Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act. “It would remove green card limits on workers from other countries,” said Dobbs, “but what that means is big countries like India and China principally would overwhelm the H1B visa list, and guess what? They would be taking American jobs at lower pay, historically...

Kudos to him for daring to speak the truth.

Once again Judicial Watch is doing the heavy lifting. Then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein began plotting Trump’s removal shortly after FBI Director Comey was fired, The New York Times reported last September citing memos penned by then-Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe. Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch obtained McCabe’s 2-page memo through a FOIA lawsuit which details a “contemporaneous recollection” of a meeting McCabe had with Rosenstein on May 16, 2016 — Just one day before Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate ‘Trump-Russia collusion.’

Trump told reporters at the United Nations headquarters in New York City that it was fair to ask about corruption when determining whether to provide aid to a foreign country, even as Democrats have raised concerns that the president threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine if it didn't investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his son. "We’re supporting a country. We want to make sure that country’s...
