Input: If you want to completely cripple your enemies and are not concerned with pesky things like basic human decency and morality, bombing hospitals and humanitarian aid convoys is a great idea. After all, they’re providing aid to your enemies. (Never mind the fact that they’re neutral and thus may also be providing aid to your own forces and innocent civilians caught up in the mix.) How are you supposed to eliminate your enemies or force them to surrender if all those meddlesome doctors keep fixing them up so they can go back out on the battlefield and fight another day? And how can you lay siege to a city if those obnoxious do-gooder types keep bringing in food and medicine?

Input: SO THIS is how it was to end: a septuagenarian con-man flanked by four victims of sexual assault, real or alleged, trying to intimidate his opponent by dredging up old accusations against her husband, Bill Clinton. That pre-debate Facebook Live broadcast by Donald Trump, which combined farce, dystopia and reality-TV in three tawdry minutes, presaged the tone of the encounter that followed. As it turned out, his second confrontation with Hillary Clinton, at a town-hall style event in St Louis, did not signal the end of Mr Trump’s presidential bid.

Input: It was, in fact, a kind of nation-building approach. The U.S. still has troops in Germany and Japan, with the permission of those nations, but it never confiscated their natural resources. In his speech, Trump said that as president he would discard “nation-building.” In its place would be what he called a new approach, which he described simply as halting the spread of “radical Islam.” He said that if elected he would convene an international conference on the topic and work closely with Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Russia, the NATO alliance and “all others who recognize this ideology of death that must be extinguished.” Trump also called Monday for “extreme” ideological vetting of immigrants seeking admission to the United States, vowing to significantly overhaul the country’s screening process and block those who sympathize with extremist groups or do n’t embrace American values. “Those who do not believe in our Constitution, or who support bigotry and hatred, will not be admitted for immigration into our country,” Trump said.

Input: Her decisions spread death, destruction and terrorism everywhere she touched." Everywhere? The statement cries out for a more substantive debate about Clinton's support for the raid that killed Osama bin Laden; the temporary ceasefire she negotiated between Hamas and Israel; and the Iran nuclear deal. But Trump's speech wasn't about debating policy points, it was an all-out trashing of Clinton designed to rally conservatives, predictably veered off the road from justifiable concerns into unfounded conspiracy theories. Indeed, Clinton's use of a private email server during her time as secretary of state, and donations to the Clinton Foundation raise important questions about potential conflicts of interest that the campaign has not fully answered.

Input: State media quoted a retired national security service agent this month as saying the game could be a way for the U.S. to enlist unknowing people, including soldiers, into taking photographs of strategically important locations. The gaming app uses a smartphone’s GPS to create a map of the user’s surroundings and taps into the phone’s camera to superimpose an image of a Pokemon monster on the screen. “Imagine that the little beast in question does n’t appear in some park but at a secret site where a conscript or other soldier takes and photographs it with his camera,” Aleksander Mikhailov, a retired major general of the Federal Security Service, told state news agency RIA Novosti. “It’s recruitment by one’s own personal desire and without any coercion. This is the ideal way for secret services to gather information.”

Input: “You know we have individuals in Europe for example who we know have hacked some fairly high-level U.S. officials and their private email accounts. So it could be a nation state, it could be just individuals, it could be a criminal element — there’s a whole bunch of potential targets who if they were able to access and hack this account, you know that would be bad for — well that would just have a bad outcome.” A spokesperson for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform declined to comment whether their members will discuss the prospect of holding hearings. But for the Intelligence Committee, whose members have directly read many of the classified material Clinton sent, potential hearings will at least be a topic of discussion this week.

Daily Mail on Wednesday uncovered Harrouff's YouTube channel containing several videotaped fitness tutorials, as well as impromptu karaoke performances by Harrouff. The rising sophomore studying exercise science is also accused of biting pieces of flesh off John Stevens ' face and stabbing the couple's neighbor, 47-year -old Jeff Fisher, who tried to come to their rescue. An autopsy showed that Mishcon was beaten to death, while her husband died of multiple knife wounds and was partially cannibalized. The wife had also been stabbed, but those injuries were not fatal.

Input: A reporter said Friday she had received a barrage of anti-Semitic emails and phone calls from supporters of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, after a profile story she wrote about Trump’s wife Melania was published in GQ Magazine. Julia Ioffe, who is Jewish, said the hatred she had experienced since her piece was published reminded her of racism her family experienced in Russia before it immigrated to the US 26 years ago. Ioffe’s article chronicles Melania’s story from her Slovenian roots to her relationship with the man who, it seems increasingly likely, may well become the Republican nominee for president in 2016. But the piece struck a none-too-flattering tone in its description of either Melania and her husband, and has been criticized by its subject as “yet another example of the dishonest media and their disingenuous reporting.” And when the angry responses by Trump die-hards began arriving to Ioffe’s phone, inbox and Twitter feed, many of them took a decidedly racist slant.

To give Americans the chance to stand up to the forces of bigotry, intolerance, and selfishness that not only gave rise to Trump, but that have been bubbling up among Tea Party House Republicans for years now.

Input: Two Romanian businessmen and an Italian politician got caught trying to sell rocket launchers and AK-47s to Colombian terrorists. But one now claims he was really just helping the CIA. A wacky tale is playing out in a federal courtroom in New York City, where a Romanian security consultant is on trial for an illegal $ 17 million weapons deal. In 2014, Virgil Flaviu Georgescu got caught in a federal sting operation. He was brokering a deal that involved selling machine guns and rocket launchers to the Communist guerrilla fighters of FARC, the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia.

The official attributed the shipping error to Lockheed’s freight forwarders, and said the US was working with Lockheed to get the device back. The official said the US did not want any defense technology to remain in a proscribed country, whether that country can use it or not. The official said there is greater concern that Cuba could give more technically advanced countries access to the dummy.

Input: He also served as a fundraising bundler for Clinton, gathering more than $ 100,000 from others for her White House bid. After Barack Obama bested Clinton for the 2008 nomination, Fernando became a major fundraiser for the Obama campaign. Prior to his State Department appointment, Fernando had given between $ 100,000 and $ 250,000 to the William J. Clinton Foundation, and another $ 30,000 to a political advocacy group, WomenCount, that indirectly helped Hillary Clinton retire her lingering 2008 campaign debts by renting her campaign email list. The appointment qualified Fernando for one of the highest levels of top secret access, the emails show. Among those with whom Fernando served on the International Security Advisory Board was David A. Kay, the former head of the Iraq Survey Group and United Nations Chief Weapons Inspector; Lt. Gen. Brent Scowcroft, a former National Security Advisor to two presidents; two former congressmen; and former Sen. Chuck Robb.

Input: Clinton is the only Democratic candidate who is even moderately attractive to big Republican donors. In ascending order above Clinton, Romney’s donors were donating to: John Kasich, Scott Walker, Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Jeb Bush. The top trio — of Bush, Cruz, and Rubio — together, received around 60% of all the money donated for the 2016 race by the people who had funded Mitt Romney’s 2012 drive for the White House. So: the Democrat Hillary Clinton scored above 14 candidates, and below 6 candidates. She was below 6 Republican candidates, and she was above 11 Republican candidates (Lindsey Graham, Rand Paul, Carly Fiorina, Chris Christie, Rick Perry, Mike Huckabee, Donald Trump, Bobby Jindal, Rick Santorum, George Pataki, and Jim Gilmore).

Input: Trump’s ignorance of the issues is manifest. He has called climate change “a hoax” and vowed to renegotiate the Paris climate accord. Obamacare would be repealed and replaced with “something great.” His signature proposal is to construct a wall along the southern border of the United States — and have Mexico pay the billions of dollars involved. Mexico, unsurprisingly, insists it will not. As for the 11 million immigrants already in the country illegally, they will either be rounded up and deported (though experts say that will cost billions of dollars, disrupt the economy, divide families and require massive violations of civil liberties) or perhaps some will be allowed to remain, living in the shadows.

The Russian leader also suspended a treaty on cleaning up weapons-grade plutonium, suggesting he was willing to use nuclear disarmament as a new bargaining chip in disputes with the United States over Ukraine and Syria. Tensions between Russia and the rest of the West are also high. Last week Putin sent an aircraft carrier on a bombing mission to Syria in a fleet that passed through the English Channel.

Since the debate, though, his tendency to cocoon himself in an alternate reality of fawning commentary has both worsened and infected the rest of his campaign. In recent days, Trump has accused plotters of rigging his microphone to undermine his debate performance. He’s accused Google of “suppressing the bad news about Hillary Clinton,” a debunked story that originated on a Russian propaganda site. And he’s obsessively pushed non-scientific fan surveys at sites like Breitbart to prove he won the debate, which his campaign insists are more reliable than rigorously conducted polls showing he lost the debate by a wide margin.

All of the candidates on the stage were just there to continue the Obama project, which has wrecked the country, by another name. Indeed the most devastating attack of the debate was not Bernie Sanders mentioning Hillary’s dirty money, but Hillary Clinton accusing him of trying to find a candidate to primary Obama in front of a heavily black audience.

Input: “It very much falls into the tactic of intimidation, which Russia has been using against its neighbors for quite some time.” Russia is in the process of a reinforcement of its western flank, in response to what it claims are aggressive actions undertaken by NATO, to rotate around 4,000 allied troops across Estonia, Lithuania, Poland and Latvia. The decision to do so was taken by the alliance after numerous concerns voiced by NATO’s Eastern European allies who worried Russia’s willingness and ability to annex Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and prompt an insurgency in the country’s east could be replicated on their territory. NATO denies the reinforcement measure is intended as anything but defensive. What is more, Russia’s increased unannounced incursions near allied airspace and mass snap drills near border regions have convinced the alliance that more attention must be paid to Moscow’s military resurgence.

Input: One of the understated moments of Monday’s debate came when Trump marked Clinton as one of the politicians who’s helped turn the Middle East into an out-of-control fire. Clinton responded by saying Trump has cheated workers he’s hired, which paled a bit in comparison. She also noted that Trump had said in passing the idea of invading Iraq made sense and flip-flopped on Libya, good points when looking to temperament and decisiveness, but clearly a move away from squarely defending her own record. Indeed, Clinton had little of substance to offer apart from a perma-smirk and accusations against the "grand godfather" of all that's maligned, Vladimir Putin. She came across confident and well-versed, but not exactly inspiring.

Just after Mr. Trump started speaking, his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, confirmed that he would skip Thursday’s event, saying, “He will not be participating in the Fox News debate on Thursday” and that “it’s not under negotiation.” Mr. Trump’s absence would leave the main debate stage without the candidate who leads in national polls, one who has been a big ratings draw for past debates. Mr. Trump has threatened in the past to skip debates, but his remarks Tuesday night were his strongest statement yet that he would not participate.

Video footage captured the incident, raising new questions about whether Trump was implicitly encouraging such violence -- by, among other things, vowing to pay the legal fees of any supporters who fought protesters and faced arrest as a result. Chuck Todd, host of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” asked Trump whether that meant he’d pay McGraw’s legal fees. “I’ve actually instructed my people to look into it, yes,” Trump said.

Input: “The expected slowdown in the Qatari economy is likely to be seen as short-term risk, unlikely to deter Japanese bank lenders, which hold large amounts of cash and are looking for borrowers,” Audrand said. The Japanese banks can offer low-cost financing as they draw on ample funds, with the Bank of Japan injecting cash in a quantitative easing policy in a bid to boost the sagging economy. Japanese banks have shown some public concern on lending on weapons, as indicated in a ban by Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ on lending to builders of cluster bombs, but there is greater pressure on European lenders. “European banks are under tight regulatory control on credit risk and deeper scrutiny under corporate social responsibility,” Audrand said. That may have made it hard for French banks to lend to Qatar for the Rafale as there is geopolitical risk, with tension rising with Iran and the Islamic State, he said.

Input: The firm’s clients included 29 billionaires and 140 top politicians worldwide, among them a dozen heads of government. But the sums involved in corporate tax scams dwarf those hidden away by individuals. According to the Oxfam report, the offshore manipulations by the 50 largest US corporations cost the US taxpayer $ 111 billion each year, while robbing another $ 100 billion annually from countries overseas, many of them desperately poor. The $ 111 billion a year in US taxes evaded would be sufficient to eliminate 90 percent of child poverty in America, effectively wiping out that social scourge. It is more than the annual cost of the food stamp program, or unemployment benefits, or the total budget of the Department of Education.

Another Clinton foundation donor who had a HSBC account in the tax haven is Jeffrey Epstein, the hedge fund manager and convicted sex offender who once flew the former president on his private jet for charity events in Africa. The identities of Clinton supporters who banked with HSBC in Geneva are contained in internal bank data leaked by a HSBC computer expert turned whistleblower, Hervé Falciani.

Input: REUTERS / Umit Bektas ANKARA / ISTANBUL Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan wants the armed forces and national intelligence agency brought under the control of the presidency, a parliamentary official said on Thursday, part of a major overhaul of the military after a failed coup. Erdogan's comments came after a five-hour meeting of Turkey's Supreme Military Council (YAS) -chaired by Prime Minister Binali Yildirim and including the top brass-and the dishonorable discharge of nearly 1,700 military personnel over their alleged role in the abortive putsch on July 15-16. After the meeting, Erdogan approved the council's decisions to keep armed forces chief Hulusi Akar and the army, navy and air force commanders in their posts, making few changes to the top brass, Erdogan's spokesman Ibrahim Kalin told reporters. Erdogan, who narrowly escaped capture and possible death on the night of the coup, told Reuters in an interview last week that the military, NATO 'S second biggest, needed "fresh blood".

It’s not that trade deficits (and the capital inflows that are their flip side) do n’t matter — but just knowing the numbers does n’t tell you much about whether they are good, bad or indifferent.

Input: Stein calls for electoral reforms, such as "equal access to the debates [for] all ballot-qualified candidates" and ranked-choice voting, that make it easier to vote, reduce the influence of money in politics, and eliminate barriers for less wealthy and well-known candidates to win elections. Clinton calls for some electoral reforms as well, but she does n’t go nearly as far as Stein and is n’t a particularly credible advocate against money in politics, given the arguments she and her supporters have made to defend the donations she’s received. On practically every issue social justice advocates say we care about — from addressing poverty to providing a path to citizenship for immigrants to regulating Wall Street to raising taxes on the wealthy to establishing education as a right — Stein is much more with us ideologically than is Clinton. In addition to having weaker proposals, Clinton often has a record that suggests she’s even less with us than she professes to be, in addition to having cultivated donors whose interests diverge from ours. Attacks on Jill Stein’s ideas are misleading, hypocritical, or both

Input: In a statement released on Wednesday, the US drinks manufacturer said it did not "support any political movements", adding:" The company has removed the post and apologises for the situation that occurred." The US embassy in Ukraine had earlier condemned the inclusion of Crimea, saying in an online statement:" Coca-Cola's actions violate the official US position condemning Russia's illegal occupation of Crimea, which is and has always been an integral part of Ukraine."

Following condemnation from Russians, it republished the image to include Crimea and went further, including the Kuril Islands-seized by Russia shortly before Japan's surrender in World War Two in 1945-and Kaliningrad, a Russian exclave annexed from Germany in the same year.

Input: The report warns that Bosnia-Herzegovina could see even worse government paralysis if a planned referendum takes place in Republika Srpska, the majority-Serb entity within that country, on the legitimacy of Bosnia's national courts. Dunham said there were "concerning declines in governance" in the Balkans in 2015. She cited Macedonia's ruling party being implicated in electoral fraud and a wire-tapping scandal and nonstop battles with the opposition that required EU intervention; the fragile and still-pending approval of a "normalization" agreement between Serbia and Kosovo; a "factionalized" Bosnian government that is hampered by the Republika Srpska leadership's moves for greater autonomy; and the administration of Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic's "continued harassment" of the independent media. Freedom House also cited Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula -- which was forcibly annexed by Russia in 2014 -- as experiencing "dramatic setbacks" in freedom. Dunham said Russian authorities in Crimea continued in 2015 to suppress dissent, including shutting down independent media and civil-society groups, particularly those representing the Tatar community.

Input: In spite of this, such resistance is apparently more offensive and unacceptable to societal norms and liberal sensibilities than the nastiness being resisted in the first place. As a result, a litany of think-pieces and condemnations from liberal media and politicians are making their rounds to make it clear how unacceptable and counterproductive any violence or rioting is, urging people to "listen to the other side," and to use "legitimate means" to fight Trump's rise -- ignoring the possibility of fascism in the US rising with it. Those who stray from this nonviolent narrative, like Emmet Rensin, an editor at Vox who tweeted that people should riot when Trump comes to town, face swift and punitive redress, urging them to fall back in line. Amidst the hot takes and denunciations from liberals, they all seem to miss a few key points. First, they misplace the blame.

Input: “Straight Pride UK thought as he was a student that we would add fun to it, dress it up and make him feel like a reporter by adding ‘press release’ to the document,” the group’s spokesman, who went by the name “Peter Sidorove”, told the Guardian at the time. Automattic, the parent company of Wordpress.com, called the takedown request “censorship using the DMCA”, and vowed to fight it. Eventually, Hotham and Automattic were victorious, with a Californian judge granting over $ 20,000 in damages, but it was a hollow victory: Sidorove and Straight Pride UK had disappeared off the face of the earth, leaving little chance of the money being paid out. In November, YouTube announced a similar plan, to “offer legal support to a handful of videos that we believe represent clear fair uses which have been subject to DMCA takedowns”. “We’re doing this because we recognise that creators can be intimidated by the DMCA’s counter notification process, and the potential for litigation that comes with it,” Fred von Lohmann, Google’s copyright legal director, wrote.

But it will be too late for at least 23 men, women and children who have already starved to death, while photos show emaciated people resorting to eating leaves and grass in desperate attempts to stay alive. Madaya, a former holiday resort in mountains near the Lebanese border, has been under siege by the Syrian army and allies from the Lebanese Hezbollah militia for six months. Around 40,000 people remain trapped and reliant on next week’s shipment of food and medical supplies.

Input: Here, however, the FBI, created initially as the “sex police”[11], created to enforce the Mann Act[13], has assumed not only “powers not granted” under the constitution, but has exponentially expanded its reach, well beyond constitutional limitations on rights of privacy and against unreasonable search and seizure, assailed by laws like the Patriot Acts.” Behind the current controversy, that of an FBI director being accused of interfering in an election and acting against policy, procedure and advice of the Attorney General, is something more. The FBI has crossed into the area of possible criminality, violating clear cut Federal Court restrictions, not only through an illegal search but by actually planting evidence and then channeling misleading information into the press with a clear intent to subvert constitutional authority. Another issue is the kind of language Comey has been using to mollify critics who have kept a flurry of investigations going and who have subjected him to hostile interrogation for endless hours in front of highly partisan committees. Colonel Jim Hanke (ret), former US attache to Israel and ranking NATO military intelligence planner commented on the nature of Comey’s assertions of Hillary’s classified emails:

In fact, they may have already agreed to a plea arrangement, which may be put on the record the afternoon of the morning Clinton is arraigned. The Justice Department's goal is to complete the investigation and make recommendations on whether charges should be filed before the two major party conventions take place toward the latter half of July, sources said.

Input: The email proves — as if any more proof was needed — that the US government has been the main sponsor of the growth of terrorism in the Middle East, and all in order to “protect” Israel. READ Russian Attacks in Syria Pay Off It is also a sobering thought to consider that the “refugee” crisis which currently threatens to destroy Europe, was directly sparked off by this US government action as well, insofar as there are any genuine refugees fleeing the civil war in Syria. In addition, over 250,000 people have been killed in the Syrian conflict, which has spread to Iraq — all thanks to Clinton and the Obama administration backing the “rebels” and stoking the fires of war in Syria. The real and disturbing possibility that a psychopath like Clinton — whose policy has inflicted death and misery upon millions of people — could become the next president of America is the most deeply shocking thought of all.

Through business partnerships, Kaine said, Trump is in debt to the state-owned Bank of China, which the Virginia senator said calls into question the GOP nominee’s pledge to negotiate more strongly with the Chinese government. “Let’s be honest,” Kaine said. “It would be pretty hard to reign people in when you owe them big time.”

Input: Last Friday, the FBI director sent a letter to Congress alerting lawmakers to the discovery of a computer that has material that may or may not be pertinent to the investigation into Clinton’s use of private email. In a separate letter to FBI colleagues, Comey stressed that he understood the sensitivity in making such an announcement so close to the election, but felt it was in the public’s interest to hear about the potential breakthrough and worried the discovery would have leaked prior to Election Day. Comey has been subsequently criticized ― by Democrats, ex-prosecutors and even some Republicans ― for violating protocol that says Department of Justice officials should generally avoid making these types of announcements so close to an election. One difference between the Russia statement and the Clinton investigation is that Comey had previously kept Congress abreast about the latter while declining to discuss the former. Thus, he may have felt an obligation to continue to update lawmakers on the status of the investigation.

Input: PHOTOS: Top .45-caliber handguns for home defense A possible Russian motive for making public all the emails would be to undermine any Justice Department influence in the ongoing FBI investigation of the private email server, an investigation said by FBI sources to have expanded into whether the server was used improperly to boost the fortunes of the Clinton Foundation. Federal sources have complained that portions of the Justice Department have been politicized to support the liberal agenda of the Obama administration, citing a 2010 investigation into how terrorist detainees at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, obtained photos of CIA interrogators. During a counterintelligence probe, Donald Vieira, chief of staff at the Justice Department’s National Security Division, was forced to recuse himself from the investigation. The reason was not made public, but officials said some in the Justice Department in the past worked as advocates for the detainees at nongovernmental organizations and were linked to the CIA officer photos found inside the detainees’ cells.

Input: You know, the Republican elite, as it were — the big donors, the political leaders — they hate Trump, I think in large part because they ca n’t control him and because Trump has taken left-wing positions on a whole range of issues, in some cases actually taking more left-wing positions than many in the Democratic Party. Trump wants to renegotiate a lot of these big trade deals, after the Democratic Party has even endorsed the TPP or going back all the way to NAFTA. Trump has promised to take on pharmaceutical companies, promising to have Medicare negotiate for lower drug prices. On a whole range of issues, Trump promises to bully big corporations and to be actually a neutral arbiter on issues like Israel-Palestine. So, that’s kind of the fascinating part of this election to me, that Trump — you know, part of his appeal is that he’s a self-funder, but he also is uniquely outside of the Republican donor class, and that special interests ca n’t control him and force him to be on these orthodox Republican issues.

Input: But department policy says all “correspondence and memorandums on substantive U.S. foreign policy issues” should be retained “at the end of the Secretary’s tenure or sooner.” Clinton left office Feb. 1, 2013; she gave her emails to the department on Dec. 5, 2014. The department’s Office of Inspector General in a May 26 report confirmed that “Clinton should have surrendered all [work-related] emails” before leaving government and, by not doing so, “she did not comply” with the Federal Records Act. Clinton claimed the “vast majority of my work emails went to government employees at their government addresses, which meant they were captured and preserved immediately” by the State Department. The department’s IG report said that is “not an appropriate method of preserving any such emails that would constitute a Federal record.” Clinton has frequently remarked that her decision to use a personal email account exclusively for government business was “allowed” and “permitted” by the State Department.

Input: Even if those hurdles do n’t come until long after the act of killing is committed. Some blame the rise of radical Islamic terrorist groups like ISIS on reasons spanning the gamut from economic inequalities, the Sykes-Picot Agreement, the availability of firearms, and religious misinterpretation. But these theories fail to account for the wellspring of hate required to kick an innocent child in front of a truck to set up an ambush, decapitate a helpless noncombatant for the sake of YouTube hits, or open fire in a Florida gay nightclub. If it took the U.S. military decades to learn how to get its soldiers to shoot to kill in combat, then what is the genesis of an equally effective, ongoing psychological conditioning campaign that has convinced thousands of Muslims living in the U.S., Europe, and around the world to join ISIS or launch attacks in the group’s name? Where does that kind of hate come from?

But few nations have been more publicly brazen in this practice than Saudi Arabia, and earlier this summer, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon managed to get in a dig at the Kingdom over its blackmail-style tactics. Ban openly admitted that it was only after Riyadh threatened to cut off funding to the U.N. that he bowed to its demand to remove the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, where it has launched a harsh military intervention, from a list of violators of children’s rights contained in the annex of his annual Children and Armed Conflict report. “The report describes horrors no child should have to face,” Ban told reporters. “At the same time, I also had to consider the very real prospect that millions of other children would suffer grievously if, as was suggested to me, countries would defund many U.N. programs.”

Input: To my mind, it’s far from accidental that for the last few decades, every presidential election here in the US has been enlivened by bumper stickers calling on voters to support the presidential ambitions of Cthulhu, the tentacled primeval horror out of H.P. Lovecraft’s tales of cosmic dread. I’m sorry to say that the Elder God’s campaign faces a serious constitutional challenge, as he was spawned on the world of Vhoorl in the twenty-third nebula and currently resides in the drowned corpse-city of R’lyeh, and as far as I know neither of these are US territory. Still, his bid for the White House has gotten further than most other imaginary candidacies, and I’ve long thought that the secret behind that success is Cthulhu’s campaign slogan: “Why settle for the lesser evil?” The reason that this slogan reliably elicits laughter, in turn, is that the entire rhetoric of presidential politics in the United States for decades now has fixated on the claim that one party’s pet stooge wo n’t do anything quite as appalling as the other side’s will, even though they all support the same policies and are bought and sold by the same corrupt interests.

That’s what it felt like going into the second presidential debate on Sunday. Before it even started, Donald Trump had held a press conference with three women who’ve accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault and one woman, Kathy Shelton, who loathes Hillary Clinton because, as a young attorney, Clinton was assigned to defend Shelton’s indigent alleged rapist. Apparently hoping to get under Clinton’s skin, Trump put the women in the debate audience, and his campaign signaled that he intended to go nuclear on the Clintons’ marriage. In the moments before the debate started, the camera panned the members of the two candidates’ families, their faces strained and sad.

I used to see the 2.2 million incarcerated as simply criminals who had broken the law, but after meeting these people I realized the gangs inside are very much like the gangs in the White House.” For example, in the film we see how D’Souza learned that most major crimes follow the procedure of plan, pitch, take, and deny.

There is a campaign in the United States and in Israel to literally outlaw any advocacy of a boycott movement against Israel, similar to the boycott and divestment and sanctions campaign that brought down Israel and the United States’s closest ally, which was the apartheid regime in South Africa. Now you can certainly raise objections to the tactic of boycotting Israel, and lots of people have, but to render it illegal depends upon this grotesque equating of an advocacy of a boycott of Israel with anti-Semitism and then saying that because anti-Semitism should be banned from universities or from private institutions, that it should be literally outlawed, to ban advocating the boycott of Israel, as well. And people in Europe are actually being arrested for advocating a boycott of Israel. Students in American universities are being sanctioned and punished for doing so.

Western powers have accused Russia and Syria of committing atrocities by bombing hospitals, killing civilians and preventing medical evacuations, as well as targeting an aid convoy with the loss of around 20 lives. Syria and Russia counter that they are only targeting militants in Aleppo and accuse the United States of breaking the ceasefire by bombing scores of Syrian troops fighting Islamic State insurgents, over which the United States has expressed regret.

From Griff Witte and Karla Adam: Tommy Mair, 52, had longstanding ties to a U.S.-based neo-Nazi organization and, in the past, had ordered a how-to guide for assembling a homemade gun." According to documents obtained by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the U.S.-based organization that tracks extremist groups, Mair was a long-time supporter of the National Alliance, a once-prominent white supremacist group. In 1999, Mair bought a manual from the organization that included instructions on how to build a pistol, the center said.

Input: Rep. Ted Yoho (R., Fla.) said that the United States should send a clear message to Palestine that "if these policies continue, we’re done." "We are funding hatred. We are funding terrorism," Yoho said, labeling it "unconscionable" to provide aid to Palestine in the name of peace while the Palestinian Authority is subsidizing terrorists. Royce said that the United States and its European allies must do more to use leverage against Palestinian Authority to halt the practice of rewarding terrorists." If the PA’s irresponsible behavior continues, the whole premise for funding the PA needs to be reconsidered.

Input: Trump was also asked about sexual assault in the military. He said it has become a rampant problem, but that it should be solved by a more forceful military court system. Lauer briefly brought up something that Trump tweeted in 2013, when he wrote that there were 26,000 unreported sexual assaults and only 238 convictions. “What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?” “Something has to happen,” Trump said.

Input: But a Washington Post report on all 980 police shootings of 2015 reveals that only 4 percent of fatal police shootings involved white officers and black victims, while in “three-quarters of the incidents, cops were either under attack themselves or defending civilians,” or, as Michael Walsh observed in the New York Post, police officers were “in other words, doing their jobs.” One incident in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Mo., became the launching point for the Black Lives Matter movement and its malicious claim that innocent blacks were being wantonly gunned down by racist police. The alleged “victim,” Michael Brown, had just committed a strong-armed robbery and refused to comply with Officer Darren Wilson’s order to surrender. Instead the 300-pound street thug attacked Wilson in his vehicle, tried to wrest his gun from him, and then walked away before turning and charging him. Several shots failed to stop Brown, until one killed him.

Input: While a forensics team searched the area, police set up roadblocks to find the terrorists. ”Roughly one hour later, Rosenfeld said, Border Police officers arrested two suspects matching the description of the assailants, but after extensive questioning, both young men were released without charges. “Police are continuing to search for the terrorists involved in the attack and hope to make arrests soon,” he said later in the day. Shortly after the attack, Shaare Zedek Medical Center spokeswoman Shoham Ruvio said both victims were in stable condition and expected to survive. “They are stable and conscious,” said Ruvio. “One, 86 years old, was stabbed in the back three times and is in the intensive care unit. The second victim, 82, was also stabbed multiple times and is in the department for heart surgery. She does n’t need surgery, but is being closely monitored due to a preexisting heart condition. ”Meanwhile, Rosenfeld said, security has been heightened throughout the capital, and will continue at elevated levels throughout the holiday. “All public areas will have additional police units deployed and nothing will be left to chance, as the city observes Remembrance Day and Independence Day,” he said. Last October, the Armon Hanatziv / East Talpiot neighborhood made international headlines after two terrorists from Jebl Mukaber stormed an Egged bus and stabbed and shot four victims to death before being killed by police. To stymie the deadly violence between the Arab and Jewish communities, police temporarily set up a concrete wall and checkpoint around Jebl Mukaber, which was soon taken down amid protests by human rights groups. Near the scene of Tuesday’s attack, a cross-section of residents expressed shock and indignation that the assailants preyed on women in their 80s. Meir Shahar, 67, a longtime resident of Armon Hanatziv/ East Talpiot said young Arab residents from Jebl Mukaber have long intimidated and terrorized Jews living in his neighborhood, but said he was stunned that defenseless elderly women were stabbed in the back. “These are old women!” he said with clear revulsion. “What did they do that they should be stabbed? You fight with an army, you fight with grown men – you do n’t fight with old women!” Moreover, Shahar said many Arab residents from Jebl Mukaber work in menial jobs throughout the neighborhood or routinely visit the area, making daily interaction with Jewish residents unavoidable. “All the people from there come to the promenade, to our post office, to our supermarkets and to our hospitals – to every place there – and nobody says ‘You are Arab, why are you coming here?’” he said. “The Jewish people in this area are with these people all the time, and it is known that a lot of the people who live there are connected with Hamas. They are not peaceful people, and the [Jewish residents] are afraid.

Input: WikiLeaks has claimed that its neutrality is clear because it has published “more than 2.5 million documents about Russia + Syria.” (Syria’s ruler, Bashar Assad, is a strategic Russ ian ally and a longtime foe of the U.S. because of his stance against Israel and support for militancy in Iraq and elsewhere. After a massive uprising against his rule in 2011, Washington began to support his removal from power while Russia backed up his regime.) In 2010, the outlet promised to release a major dump of sensitive Russian documents that would embarrass Putin. The WikiLeaks spokesperson said the cables led to “many stories and books about corruption in Russia and subsequent court cases and successful asylum claims.” HuffPost could find no major leaks of files showing the inner workings of the Russian government.

Input: So why are these attacks still happening? The answer is twofold: The attacks are effective, and the Russian and Syrian governments know they can get away with them. Killing the people who are providing aid to your enemies is effective If you want to completely cripple your enemies and are not concerned with pesky things like basic human decency and morality, bombing hospitals and humanitarian aid convoys is a great idea. After all, they’re providing aid to your enemies.

Input: Shprygin, who was accompanying the official Russian delegation at the championships, was pictured alongside Putin at a football fan’s funeral in 2010. Moscow has denounced the detaining of Russian fans and accused the French authorities’ actions as “further stoking of anti-Russian sentiments”. On Friday Putin laughed off fan violence at the Euros and urged local authorities in France to treat supporters from all countries equally. He said the violence was a disgrace, but added: “I do n’t know how 200 fans could hurt several thousand Englishmen.” He also said he was willing to reach out to Europe to mend relations following the Ukraine crisis but insisted the west was responsible for the bad blood: “European business wants and is ready to work with our country.

Input: "I have never received a single ' off-the-books cash payment ' as falsely ' reported ' by The New York Times, nor have I ever done work for the governments of Ukraine or Russia," Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort said in a statement. Manafort, who did work for the party led by the pro-Russian former Ukrainian president Viktor F. Yanukovych, also said that "I am a campaign professional" and "it is well known that I do work in the United States and have done work on overseas campaigns as well." The New York Times reports that "handwritten ledgers show $ 12.7 million in undisclosed cash payments designated for Mr. Manafort from Mr. Yanukovych’s pro-Russian political party from 2007 to 2012, according to Ukraine’s newly formed National Anti-Corruption Bureau." The report added:" Investigators assert that the disbursements were part of an illegal off-the-books system whose recipients also included election officials." The story broke shortly before Trump was set to deliver a foreign policy speech Monday at Youngstown State University in Ohio.

Input: PolitFact recently identified at least 34 journalists murdered in Russia under apparently work-related circumstances since 2000. Evidence directly implicating Putin in those deaths is scant and mostly circumstantial, but many experts say Putin tacitly condones a climate of violence toward reporters who question his power. PolitiFact notes that just one of those 34 homicides was fully adjudicated. And on Oct. 15 of last year, Trump cast doubt on the consensus view of the U.S. and several European governments that pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine shot down Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 with a surface-to-air missile in July 2014, killing all 298 aboard." That's a horrible thing that happened," Trump told CNN.

Input: At the time, John Kerry, then chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, wondered aloud why the foundation needed to take in any foreign money at all:" If you're traveling to some country and you meet with the foreign leadership and a week later or two weeks later or three weeks later the president [Bill Clinton] travels there and solicits a donation and they pledge to give at some point in the future but nobody knows, is there an appearance of a conflict?" Now, as secretary of state himself, Kerry must know the answer. The foundation violated the agreement at least five times.

Input: No document obtained via the FOIA process is automatically a reliable source upon which a sound story can be built. Its contents must be tested, verified, cross-examined and blended with other information before it has any business being placed in a news story. The same goes for court proceedings, corporate documents, scientific papers, and audio and video recordings, only double. Clinton’s allies warn us that because the WikiLeaks dump may contain forgeries — not a fully imaginary admonition, mind you — reporters should keep their distance for their own good. Forged documents are as old as journalism itself, and as technology grows more sophisticated, more forgeries will appear, and reporters will have to be even more vigilant lest they be hoodwinked.

Input: The monitor said at least 42 ISIS fighters had been killed in the attack, adding that fighting was ongoing yesterday, with regime forces backed by Russian air strikes trying to recapture lost ground. Syria's state news agency Sana said that at least 300 civilians," most of them women, children and elderly people ", had been killed in the assault. It denounced the deaths as a" massacre ". The ISIS assault puts the group in control of around 60 per cent of Deir Ezzor city, which is the capital of the surrounding province of the same name. If confirmed, the death toll in the assault would be one of the highest in a single attack by ISIS, though the terrorists have carried out mass murders before.

Input: Snowden echoed the claim during his digital talk with Suskind, telling the crowd that he planned to donate part of his fee to the press organization — a San Francisco nonprofit whose stated mission is to “support and defend journalism dedicated to transparency and accountability.” Other board members of the Freedom of the Press Foundation include Greenwald and Poitras, both of whom received the initial cache of NSA documents from Snowden. “I want to make sure journalists are able to operate,” said Snowden, explaining his decision to make the donation. Suskind, whose appearance with Snowden was also arranged by APB, said it was his “understanding” from Wizner that Snowden was going to donate half his fee to the Freedom of the Press Foundation. But Trevor Timm, president of the Freedom of the Press Foundation, told Yahoo News that the organization never received any direct donations from Snowden as a result of the Colorado talk or any other of his speaking appearances. On a “handful of occasions,” Timm said, Snowden has forfeited speaking fees and directed that they go to the group, estimating that the organization has received between $ 10,000 and $ 20,000 this year under such arrangements.

It's hard to know who counts as a "recent migrant," or what "charged with terrorism" means, but there's no evidence this is true. Every deadly terrorist attack since 9/11 inside US borders has been committed by American citizens, per New America Foundation research. Now, every politician makes factual errors occasionally.

Input: “Because he saw these mob guys as pathways to money, and Donald is all about money.” From a $ 400 million tax giveaway on his first big project, to getting a casino license, to collecting fees for putting his name on everything from bottled water and buildings to neckties and steaks, Trump’s life has been dedicated to the next big score. Through Cohn, Trump made choices that — gratuitously, it appears — resulted in his first known business dealings with mob-controlled companies and unions, a pattern that continued long after Cohn died. What Trump has to say about the reasons for his long, close and wide-ranging dealings with organized crime figures, with the role of mobsters in cheating Trump Tower workers, his dealings with Felix Sater and Trump’s seeming leniency for Weichselbaum, are questions that voters deserve full answers about before casting their ballots.
