Hillary Clinton to visit ground zero on 9/11 anniversary

“I’m very proud of New York City, the mayor, the police, the fire – all the people working in the emergency front lines have done a superb job”.

Hillary Clinton should apologize for saying Islamist extremists are rooting for her GOP rival Donald Trump to win the presidential elections, the Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan said Thursday, shortly after the Democratic nominee’s comments were aired as part of an interview to Israeli TV. The Republican candidate again cast doubt on whether Russian Federation was behind the hacking of the Democratic National Committee, a belief at odds with USA intelligence officials.

MSNBC’s Kristen Welker shouted a question at Clinton as she walked away about Trump’s appearance on a Larry King program that was broadcast on Russian television.

Democrat Hillary Clinton said North Korea’s determination to develop a “deliverable nuclear weapon” represents “a direct threat to the United States”. Have we finally reached the point when a woman is allowed to speak forcefully on her own behalf? But does she remember what she said in 2007?

Clinton, who was a senator from NY when the attacks took place in 2001, had not previously indicated that she would visit the memorial for its annual commemoration. She touted the bipartisan nature of the meeting and vowed to work across the aisle as president to tackle national security challenges.

Clinton was scheduled on Friday to meet with former senior national security officials in NY.

In the RT interview, Trump downplayed reports that Russian Federation may be trying to influence the general election, pointing a finger instead at Democrats for continuing that narrative.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump criticized USA foreign policy and the American political press corps Thursday during an interview on RT America, a state-owned Russian television network. He said he disagreed with the US decision to invade Iraq in 2003 and that Obama botched the withdrawal.

Pence’s new view of Putin came in a CNN interview Thursday in which he defended Trump’s praise for Putin at a national security forum. “And it’s a war that, when we got out, we got out the wrong way”.

Clinton’s latest attack line against Donald Trump: how dare he criticize USA generals.

Megyn Kelly went to bat for her friend Matt Lauer last night on The Kelly File after the “fierce backlash” against the “shady”, as it were, way he moderated the televised NBC News Forum a.k.a. the Commander-in-Chief Forum Wednesday evening.

One of the notable developments in right-wing-watching in recent years has been how enthusiastically many Religious Right leaders have embraced Russia’s anti-democratic president, former KGB official Vladimir Putin.

Lauer recalled that Trump has long claimed to have a secret plan for defeating the Islamic State, but now says he would ask “the generals” to submit a plan within 30 days for victory over the terrorist group. “I want to make sure that I’m ready to tell Donald Trump’s story to the nation”. Add to those the voters who say they will plump for Libertarian Gary Johnson or Jill Stein of the Green Party, and around a quarter of voters haven’t nailed their colours to the Trump or Clinton mast. On the House of Representatives floor in 2007, he said the “rising tide of violence against journalists in Russian Federation since the advent of the presidency of Mr. Putin is deeply troubling and ought to be troubling to anyone who cherishes the notion of a free and independent press”.

Colbert said it’s too much to call Lauer a “complete disgrace to journalism” for his forum performance, because a complete disgrace to journalism would be Lauer dressing up as Paris Hilton.
