Clinton Says Trump is ‘Isil’s Best Recruiter’
For Sanders, the rhetoric feeds directly into the Democratic Primary battle he needs to have with Clinton in order to win. Clinton for pledging not to raise taxes on those making less than 0,000 a year.

The Vikings defense held Manning to no completions and minus-6 passing yards in the first quarter against a Giants team that was eliminated from postseason contention Saturday night when Washington won the NFC East. New York also was without suspended receiver Odell Beckham, Jr., making a comeback attempt even more hard. His seven TD receptions of at least 20 yards are tied for second-most in the NFL. Locke’s next punt wasn’t a great one, but it got a good bounce as the Vikings were able to down it at the NY 7-yard line. “Period”, Giants coach Tom Coughlin said.

Branding the visit a “duel standard” by the government, the leaders alleged that Modi had taken “U-turn” regarding Pakistan. He also said that if all Indians join this appeal of PM and support, then it will be a new beginning of India.

The Vikings (10-5) closed their two-year regular season run at the University of Minnesota with a dominant defense that posted three takeaways, an offense that played keep away and a kicking game that scored from far, far away. The Giants were quickly into Vikings’ territory on a 16-yard run by Rashad Jennings. “I really don’t have to say much to him”. Locke’s punt was short again, and Dwayne Harris was able to return it to the Giants’ 37-yard line to give the visitors decent field position again.

Peterson, Minnesota’s lone Pro Bowl pick, has a nine-yard lead on Tampa Bay’s Doug Martin for the National Football League rushing title and is confident he’ll play after being forced out for part of last week’s game with a sprained left ankle. NY still ranks No. 25 on the ground, rushing for 93.6 yards per game.

The Giants have lost three of four and find their season on life support, needing to win both remaining games and get some help in order to win the NFC East and reach the playoffs.

Adrian Peterson’s bounce-back season has paced the Vikings, who are trying for their first playoff appearance since 2012. Vikings DT Linval Joseph was active after missing the previous four games with a foot injury…. That game, like this one, was moved to the Sunday night slot.

However, Eli Manning had his second straight four-touchdown game last week and Minnesota has allowed its last three opponents to throw seven TDs and record a 115.2 passer rating.

Manning struggled before the half, completing just five of 13 passes for 77 yards and throwing two interceptions.
