Vashukevich, who is also known as Nastya Rybka, has previously said she was in possession of recordings of conversations on interference in the U.S. election through an association with Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. Deripaska’s representatives have accused her of fabrication and said she was never his mistress.

MATIAS ROMERO, MEXICO — After days of walking from Mexico’s southern border, the caravan of hundreds of migrants that has drawn President Trump’s Twitter ire has now halted on a brown-grass soccer field, its participants unsure and anxious about the way forward. The men and women, most from Central America, were squatting Tuesday in a walled public park while government officials decided their fate. “We are scared, just like you,” Irineo Mujica, the head coordinator of the migrant caravan, told the assembled group through a megaphone Tuesday morning. “Now President Donald Trump has said that he wants to hit us...

OK boys and girls! For my first post, I offer the Mother of All Camp Fire Stories for your weekend nightmare delight. I will explain to everyone, right here and right now, exactly how McWhat'sHisName and Palin will lose to the Dhimmicrats come November. But let me first lay some ground work.... First we know that when it comes down to World-Class skills in digging up dirt on an opponent, there is none better than Clinton, Inc.  There has been much discussion here regarding how much effort the Clintons might exert in getting their opponent (BHO) elected this Fall.   Some...

The Da Vinci Code and Mission: Impossible actor, who recently celebrated his 60th birthday, was staying at the holiday home of Gallic pop star Johnny Hallyday in St Bart's when he took a turn for the worst on Wednesday morning. Witnesses described how he slumped on to the wheel of his hire car. "All of a sudden he appeared gripped by a fever, breaking out into a cold sweat and feeling nauseous," said one. Reno's wife, Zofia, alerted emergency services and doctors immediately decided to have him evacuated by plane to the CHU Fort-au-France hospital on the nearby island of...

Well after reading all the glowing comments about Barry Hartz I can only believe that not one of the authors has ever attended a meeting in which Barry Hartz was in attendance. My experience at such meetings leaves me with wonderment as to how he could ever be an elected assemblyman. Never in all my years in the business world have I ever come across anyone who comes close to him in being a disruptive force - not just at one meeting, but time and again. He blusters, he stutters, he screams, he accusses, he looses all control. There doesn't...

"Certainly this isn't the first Hollywood production done in by the competing corporate and personal interests that funded it (consider the unspoken implications—both commercial and propagandistic—of the film's last-minute title change from Flight 93 to United 93), but it is the only one I've come across where the families of those onboard gave it their full-on approval. Not all the families, of course. All evidence suggests that the terrorists' relatives were left entirely out of the creative process, an action which goes a way toward revealing the film's hagiographic bias (how easy it then becomes to turn victims into heroes...

Kaavya Viswanathan, the Harvard sophomore accused of plagiarizing parts of her recently published chick-lit novel, acknowledged yesterday that she had borrowed language from another writer's books, but called the copying "unintentional and unconscious." In her e-mail message, Ms. Viswanathan said that "the central stories of my book and hers are completely different." But Ms. McCafferty's books, published by Crown, a division of Random House, are, like Ms. Viswanathan's, about a young woman from New Jersey trying to get into an Ivy League college — in her case, Columbia. (Ms. Viswanathan's character has her sights set on Harvard.) Like the heroine...
