ICYMI: Dems’ Debacle – are the Democrats actually trying to lose to Trump on purpose?

ICYMI: Dems’ Debacle – are the Democrats actually trying to lose to Trump on purpose? If the Democrats are trying to lose to Donald Trump in the upcoming election – and there is strong evidence to suggest just that – they are going the right way about it. From a vote-counting disaster in Iowa to petty politics from Nancy Pelosi during the State of the Union, and then the attempt to impeach the president predictably collapsing; in just a matter of days the Democrats have made Trump look like an adult, presidential and even… innocent. That’s no small achievement, so ICYMI asks: are they trying to do it on purpose? [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N562indb1Qw&w=900&h=506] For more, follow #ICYMI on Facebook, Twitter, ...

MMA fighter Valentina Shevchenko denies she’s a deep-cover spy – but admits she LOVES 007 & guns as she prepares for UFC 247 As multi-talented MMA fighters go, Valentina Shevchenko is arguably the most skilled.

The polymathic fighter has multiple languages and weaponry in common with James Bond, having tried out the gun given to the famous fictional British spy in the Ian Fleming novel, Dr No. Shevchenko used the Walther PPK during a visit to The Arms Room in Texas, shooting at a circular target with a replica of the weapon seen in the film version of the Bond film, in 1962, and used by the character unt...

Secrets of a nearby galaxy: Scientists detect ultra-rare ‘double nucleus’ (PHOTO)

Uncategorized

Secrets of a nearby galaxy: Scientists detect ultra-rare ‘double nucleus’ (PHOTO) Astronomers have been observing the nearby Cocoon Galaxy for decades but only recently did they reveal what had been staring at them the whole time: an extremely rare ‘double core’ at the heart of it. The Cocoon Galaxy, nicknamed this way due to its shape, is located in the Northern Hemisphere and about 30 million light years from Earth. It is roughly a fifth of the size of the Milky Way and yet it contains two central cores. The first can only be made out using optical telescopes while the second is obscured by dust, and can therefore only be detected using radio and infrared telescopes. It turns out, scientists using different telescopes had spotted each of the cores...

Britain’s UN envoy Pierce named new ambassador to US

Uncategorized

Britain’s UN envoy Pierce named new ambassador to US Britain has appointed Karen Pierce as the new ambassador to the United States. Pierce, who is currently ambassador to the United Nations, is the first woman to hold the job. The appointment comes as Britain embarks on critical efforts to strike a trade deal with the US following its departure from the EU, AP said. It also follows an embarrassing spat over leaked memos that derailed her predecessor. Former ambassador Kim Darroch, a veteran diplomat, resigned in July. President Donald Trump expressed fury when Darroch’s unfiltered views on the US administration appeared in leaked diplomatic documents that were published in Britain. In the documents, he called the Trump administration’s policy toward Iran “incoherent” and raise...

‘Never in a million years would Twitter take down posts from an NYT reporter’ – Project Veritas founder O'Keefe to RT

Uncategorized

‘Never in a million years would Twitter take down posts from an NYT reporter’ – Project Veritas founder O'Keefe to RT James O’Keefe, who had his account locked down after tweeting about Bernie Sanders’s staffers, told RT the reason he was hit so hard by Twitter’s online minders is that he doesn’t come from an established, corporate publisher. O’Keefe, a conservative activist and founder of investigative outlet Project Veritas, was targeted by social media censors earlier this month, when he sent a tweet to Dave Weigel of the Washington Post, asking him to remove a “factually inaccurate bit of reporting” on Sanders staffers Kyle Jurek and Martin Weissgerber.

‘Plans for annexation & apartheid’: Palestine blames unrest in West Bank on US ‘deal of the century’ A senior Palestinian official blamed US President Donald Trump’s Middle East plan for the recent turmoil, after the US leader’s son-in-law said local leaders were inciting violence. “Those who introduce plans for annexation and apartheid and the legalization of occupation and settlements are the ones who bear full responsibility for deepening the cycle of violence and extremism,” Saeb Erekat, secretary general of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), said in a statement. His remarks came a day after Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and mastermind behind the so-called ‘deal of the century’, accused Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas of ur...

Trump says Xi’s ‘sharp’ leadership will defeat coronavirus in U-turn on harsh anti-China rhetoric

Uncategorized

Trump says Xi’s ‘sharp’ leadership will defeat coronavirus in U-turn on harsh anti-China rhetoric Donald Trump says China will defeat the deadly coronavirus, thanks to its great discipline and Xi Jinping’s strong leadership, as the US president’s tone on Beijing softens following the recent signing of a new trade deal. The two leaders discussed the outbreak of the virus, which has claimed 640 lives in China, during a phone call on Friday. That provided the perfect grounds for an attack on Beijing, but Trump, who earlier blasted China for currency manipulation, intellectual property theft, and election meddling, was this time reluctant to take advantage of the dire health crisis in order to attack Beijing. On the contrary the US president’s evaluatio...
