Hillary Clinton Backer Paid $500G to Fund Women Accusing Trump of Sexual Misconduct Before Election Day

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of Hillary Clinton’s wealthy pals paid $500,000 in an unsuccessful effort to fund women willing to accuse President Trump of sexual misconduct before the 2016 election, The New York Times reported Sunday.

Susie Tompkins Buell, the founder of Esprit Clothing and a major Clinton campaign donor for many years, gave the money to celebrity lawyer Lisa Bloom who was working with a number of Trump accusers at the time, according to the paper’s bombshell report.

Bloom solicited donors by saying she was working with women who might “find the courage to speak out” against Trump if the donors would provide funds for security, relocation and possibly a “safe house,” the paper reported.

Former Clinton nemesis turned Clinton operative David Brock also donated $200,000 to the effort through a nonprofit group he founded, the paper reported in an article entitled, “Partisans, Wielding Money, Begin Seeking to Exploit Harassment Claims.”

Bloom told the Times that the effort was unproductive. One woman requested $2 million then decided not to come forward. Nor did any other women. (Read more from “Hillary Clinton Backer Paid $500G to Fund Women Accusing Trump of Sexual Misconduct Before Election Day” HERE)

Trump Website Removes Hidden Jab at Obama, the Replacement Might Be Even Better

/0 Comments/in , /by

A hidden piece of code inside President Donald Trump’s website that would replace the basic “page not found” error message with a snarky comment about former President Barack Obama has been removed from the website.

The Washington Post data reporter Christopher Ingraham first found the code that read “Oops! Something went wrong. Unlike Obama, we are working to fix the problem… and not on the golf course” and shared his discovery on Twitter.

According to Ingraham, the code appears on every action.donaldjtrump.com page paid for by the RNC.

The error message is also on some official GOP sites paired with a 404 error message that says “What do Hillary Clinton and this link have in common? They’re both dead broke,” Tech Crunch reported.

One Twitter user pointed out that the jab at Obama would never show up because the code used a single equal sign instead of the two that were needed.

The code about Clinton was similary “broken.”

However, soon after its discovery, the code was removed from the websites, replaced, according to BizPac Review, with, “Don’t worry, we’re making it great again.”

This code unveiling comes as the mainstream media has begun piling on in criticism of Trump’s recorded fifth straight day golfing during his winter vacation at Mar-a-Lago.

During his campaign in 2016, Trump said, “I’m going to be working for you. I’m not going to have time to play golf,” according to Newsweek.

The criticism for his golfing habit started this week, the day after he tweeted that he was going to go “back to work in order to Make America Great Again.”

Ingraham drew his conclusion that someone is “sensitive enough to Trump’s golf problem to make this issue go away quickly once people noticed” and expressed his desire to see what led to the coding change.

Do You Remember These New Year’s Eve Hosts From the Past?

/0 Comments/in , /by

As the end of 2017 draws near, many Americans will be watching the famous Times Square Ball Drop on their televisions, counting down the final seconds until the New Year.

ABC’s “New Year’s Rockin Eve” television special has become synonymous with the holiday and has become the flagship program covering New Year’s Eve festivities. However, Dick Clark wasn’t the first, or most prominent person to have helped millions of Americans welcome in the new year.

So before we close the curtain on 2017, let’s take a look back at some of the most memorable guests to have hosted New Year’s Eve specials.

The first name to appear on MeTV‘s list is Guy Lombardo.

Lombardo, also known as “Mr. New Year’s Eve,” effectively began the tradition of using media to help celebrate New Year’s Eve with the masses.

On Dec. 31, 1956, Lombardo and his big band the “Royal Canadians” debuted their black-tie television parties. However, it wasn’t the first time Lombardo celebrated the event in front of an audience as he hosted an annual radio broadcast for 27 years prior to televising the event.

While Lombardo was essentially the godfather of New Years Eve programming, he wasn’t the most recognizable name on the list — that honor goes to George Carlin.

NBC tasked Carlin with hosting their newly created “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” special to ring in 1974.

The broadcast famously took place aboard the Queen Mary and saw memorable musical performances from Tower of Power, The Pointer Sisters, Linda Ronstadt and Billy Preston.

As noted by MeTV, the night would mark the final time NBC produced the annual special before transferring the rights to ABC who placed Clark as the show’s host.

After the switch to ABC, Clark’s “New Years Rockin’ Eve” struggled to pull in favorable ratings as the show was a direct competitor of the already established Lombardo and his “Royal Canadians.”

However, when the big band leader passed away in 1977, Clark’s program took the top spot in New Years Eve programming, but not without competition from network rival CBS.

Their program, “Happy New Year, America,” ran from 1979 until 1995 and was primarily hosted by singer Andy Williams. However, other celebrities such as Gladys Knight, Terry Bradshaw and Brent Musburger would step in to cover the ball drop.

CBS’ special wasn’t the only program that experimented with multiple celebrity guests. “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” also saw its own array of alternate hosts.

One prominent example of celebrity replacements was “Dukes of Hazzard” actor John Schneider and “Happy Days” actress Erin Moran who welcomed in the 1980s.

Moran and Schneider hosted alongside performances by The Village People, Chic and Blondie.

However, Clark remained the prominent host of the special until 2007, when it was announced that “American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest would take over hosting duties due to Clark’s deteriorating health.

This year’s edition of “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest” is set to air on Dec. 31 at 8:00 p.m. EST. The special will be hosted by Seacrest and Jenny McCarthy and will feature performances by Nick Jonas, Camila Cabello and Sugarland.

CNN Finally Learns Whose White Truck Blocked Cameras From Filming Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

CNN has finally completed the white truck investigation it started earlier this week after a large white box truck blocked their cameras from filming President Donald Trump playing golf.

A similar looking truck was found in the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office parking lot, CNN White House Producer Noah Gray reported.

The next day, he confirmed that a license plate comparison showed that the truck in the PBSO parking lot was indeed the same one parked in front of the golf course.

Earlier this week CNN complained that a large box truck was used to keep reporters from capturing footage of Trump golfing, The Western Journal reported.

The Secret Service and Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Department both denied using the truck to hide the president’s golf game from CNN’s cameras.

According to Gray, Secret Service spokesperson Cathy Milhoan stated that “The USSS is in the business of protection and investigations not in commissioning vehicles to block the media’s view of the President’s golf swing.”

Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Therese Barbera also said that the “department did not order a box truck to obstruct CNN’s view of President Donald Trump golfing on Wednesday.”

After the latest discovery, Barbera “reiterated to CNN the truck maneuver was not authorized by management.”

The CNN complaint and the denials from the Secret Service and sheriff’s department were both in response to exclusive footage CNN aired of Trump golfing instead of working right after Christmas.

“This may seem trivial, but it is important to get video of the president as he does these things on a daily basis…the president and the White House have tried to obscure the fact that President Trump golfs on a regular basis,” CNN political reporter Dan Merica said, according to Fox News.

Twitter users did not seem impressed by the latest update on the truck.

In the meantime, someone has created a @WhiteBoxTruck account on Twitter to see if CNN will follow it. (For more from the author of “CNN Finally Learns Whose White Truck Blocked Cameras From Filming Trump” please click HERE)

Child Wearing Only Diaper Wandering in 9 Degrees

/0 Comments/in , /by

Comcast technicians Shawn Bronson and Michael Payne were battling frigid conditions to restore service to customers in Monson when the sight of a 2-year-old girl wandering into traffic in nothing but a diaper stopped them cold.

“She had no socks, no shoes, and she happened to be heading right toward the middle of the road, which is where we intercepted her,” Bronson said last night of the moment he slammed on the brakes and blocked off traffic on Main Street, allowing Payne to scoop up the shivering toddler and rush her into nearby Woodbine Country Store.

“She was shaking, she was a different color,” Bronson said. “We just started taking off our hats and jackets and trying to get her wrapped up as well as we could while we got her inside the store.”

Once they were all inside the country store Thursday afternoon, Bronson said a clerk who recently gave birth rushed into a back room and retrieved a blanket from her baby bag. The clerk, they said, even gave the little girl a stuffed horse to play with until police arrived . . .

The 2-year-old’s father, who police said was “completely unaware” that she had wandered off, is now facing a charge of reckless endangerment of a child, police said, and the state’s Department of Children and Families has been notified.

‘Nigerian Prince’ Email Scammer Arrested in US

/0 Comments/in , /by

A 67-year-old Slidell man who served as a go-between for an international team of scammers running a “Nigerian prince” email scheme has been arrested after an 18-month investigation.

Michael Neu, who is neither Nigerian nor a prince, has been charged with 269 counts of wire fraud and money laundering.

Neu helped shuttle fraudulently obtained money to his co-conspirators, some of whom actually do live in Nigeria, according to the Slidell Police Department.

The ubiquitous scheme, which begins when an email is sent to an unsuspecting recipient the scammers claim has been named as the beneficiary in a will, is designed to collect personal information that is then used to steal money and identities online.

The scheme nets millions of dollars each year, according to the SPD, and is difficult to track since many of the participants operate outside of the United States. (Read more from “‘Nigerian Prince’ Email Scammer Arrested in US” HERE)

Retail Apocalypse Continues: 17 Stores on 2018 Death Watch

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Over 20 retail chains — including Radio Shack, Toys R Us, and HHGregg — filed for bankruptcy, and some were liquidated . . .

The 17 companies below all struggled in 2017. Many of them closed stores, and some have even filed for bankruptcy at least once before. These aren’t the only retailers struggling as we head into 2018, but they are some of the most prominent . . .

Leaving Sears Holdings (NASDAQ: SHLD) off a list of companies not likely to survive 2018 would be like omitting Tom Brady from a discussion of all-time great quarterbacks. Sears has been moving in reverse for years, losing money and closing stores at a remarkable rate . . .

J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP) isn’t in the same dire straits as Sears. That, however, is sort of like saying that someone with one brain tumor is in better health than someone with two . . .

In 2017 Claire’s appeared on a lot of lists of companies not likely to survive the year. Its condition has improved slightly: In the most recent quarter, overall sales rose 0.8%, while same-store sales grew by 1.1%.The problem is that the chain is in a precarious financial position. As of Oct. 28, it had cash and cash equivalents of only $25.8 million, down $5.4 million from the previous quarter. It also had $71 million drawn on its credit facility, putting the chain underwater and vulnerable to a downturn in sales.

Planned Parenthood Unveils Pro-Abortion License Plates

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Planned Parenthood abortion business has been on a mission to defend and promote abortion. In the latest effort to brag about abortions, Planned Parenthood is now unveiling a new pro-abortion license plate.

The new Nebraska license plate would have the silly and unscientific slogan, “My body my choice.” Never mind that an abortion involves the body of an unborn child who scientifically could never be the woman’s body or part of it.

The new abortion-supporting license plates will cost an additional $70 for drivers. It appears Planned Parenthood has enough applications to support the plate and it told state officials that 263 Nebraska drivers went to promote abortion on their vehicles.

Why the nation’s biggest abortion business thinks that Nebraskans want to have a pro-abortion license plate on their vehicles is a good question. It appears that the abortion company falsely thinks most Nebraskans support abortion even though it is one of the most pro-life states in the country.

Meg Mikolajczyk, associate general counsel and senior public affairs manager for Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, said in a press release that the plates are an opportunity for people to voice their own opinion on women’s health issues.

Arsenal Found in Texas Hotel Atop New Year’s Eve Party

/0 Comments/in , /by

A man has been arrested on multiple charges after police located a small arsenal of guns on the top floor of the Hyatt Regency on Louisiana Street downtown, where a large New Year’s Eve celebration is planned, Houston police said . . .

Police at the hotel called for backup around 1:30 a.m. Sunday after they attempted to arrest [Russell Lawrence] Ziemba for being intoxicated and trespassing. When help arrived, police noticed ammunition around the man’s hotel room, Lt. Gordon Macintosh with Houston police said.

Ziemba was arrested for unlawfully carrying a weapon and trespassing. When investigators looked through his room further, they located an AR-15, a shotgun, a handgun and lots of ammunition, Macintosh said.

Ziemba, who said he was staying at the hotel to celebrate New Year’s, admitted to drinking alcohol for days, police said. He told authorities that he moved his firearms to his room because he worried they’d be stolen from his truck, which was parked in the hotel garage.

The Hyatt is preparing a New Year’s Eve celebration at the hotel with a 50,000 balloon drop at the stroke of midnight, its website said. (Read more from “Arsenal Found in Texas Hotel Atop New Year’s Eve Party” HERE)

Trump Declares War On…

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Nov. 1, American Urban Radio Network’s White House correspondent April Ryan asked Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders if President Trump believes slavery was wrong . . .

Today they got their unequivocal answer as President Trump has declared war on slavery like he did on ISIS.

With an estimated 25 million people suffering in slavery and as victims of human trafficking, President Trump has declared January as “National Slavery and Human Traffic Prevention Month.”

Perhaps you haven’t heard about the announcement.

That’s because none of the following news agencies have deemed it worthy of reporting: The New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, nor any other major newspaper in America or around the world. Neither have any of the major broadcast or cable networks even mentioned it – including CNN. (Read more from “Trump Declares War On…” HERE)
