WATCH: Joe Biden Presses Face up Against Young Girl After Promising to Give Women Space

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden encroached on the personal space boundaries he recently said he’d be “more mindful” of while attending a campaign event in Des Moines, Iowa, on Friday.

Biden, who’s been plagued with concerns over his inappropriate touching and lack of respect for personal boundaries, pressed his nose up against one young girl wearing glasses while meeting with potential voters and their families. “Now, what grade are you in?” the former vice president asked the girl before pulling away. . .

The encounter comes in the wake of Biden addressing his personal-space issue in a video posted to social media, wherein he blames his questionable interactions on changing “social norms.”

“Social norms are changing,” he captioned the video, which was posted in April. “I understand that, and I’ve heard what these women are saying. Politics to me has always been about making connections, but I will be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future. That’s my responsibility and I will meet it.”

“Today I want to talk about gestures of support and encouragement that I’ve made to women and some men that have made them uncomfortable,” Biden says in the clip, according to HuffPost. “And I’ve always tried, in my career, I’ve always tried to make a human connection ― that’s my responsibility, I think. I shake hands, I hug people, I grab men and women by the shoulders and say, ‘You can do this.’ Whether they’re women, men, young, old, it’s the way I’ve always been, it’s the way I’ve tried to show I care about them and listen.” (Read more from “Joe Biden Presses Face up Against Young Girl After Promising to Give Women Space” HERE)

WATCH: Bill Clinton’s Possible Slip of the Tongue Keeps Door Open on Future Hillary Run

/0 Comments/in , /by

Bill Clinton, in what appeared to be an off-hand remark during an event Wednesday, added a bit more fuel to speculation about whether Hillary Clinton would consider running for president again, according to The Daily Wire.

As the Democratic primary goes on and some Democrats privately express concern about the quality of the current field of candidates, the Clinton family doesn’t seem to have totally closed the door on future political ambitions for Hillary.

“She may or may not ever run for anything, but I can’t legally run for president again,” Bill Clinton said, gesturing toward Hillary as he spoke during an event at Georgetown Law School that also included Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

It’s unclear whether Hillary Clinton is truly considering another presidential campaign, or whether she is just allowing speculation to circulate in order to court positive media attention from Democrats and voters who fear candidates like former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.), or Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) aren’t strong enough to beat President Donald Trump.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Firefighters are doing their best to contain a rapidly moving wildfire in Simi Valley, California, that threatens the Reagan Presidential Library.

Fox News reports that mandatory evacuations were ordered in the area Wednesday morning as the Ventura County Fire Department works to fight off the blaze and protect the library where President Ronald Reagan is buried with first lady Nancy Reagan.

Firefighters and trucks have surrounded the library, with protection measures being taken on the Air Force One-side of the facility, according to a spokesperson. Reagan Library Executive Director John Heubusch told FOX11 the blaze was “circling the library” and that fire crews are “fighting it as best they can.”

“It’s the closest this library has ever come to this danger,” he told FOX11. “So this is really serious stuff. So far they seem to be on top of it.”

Employees who are on the scene – along with the fire and police personnel – told Fox News the move to close the library is being taken as a precaution.

Reagan Presidential Library spokeswoman Melissa Giller told the Associated Press the portion of the library housing archives faces away from the fire.

CNN video captures just how close the wildfire is to the library.

“The group was treated humanely at all times and included 11 children. I want to make it clear that despite the violent nature of the raid and the — and the high-profile nature of this assault, every effort was made to avoid civilian casualties and to protect the children that we suspected would be at the compound,” said McKenzie.

State Democrat Party Chair: Trump ‘Has Aligned Himself With ISIS’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Arizona Democrat Party Chairman Felecia Rotellini falsely claimed on Saturday that President Donald Trump “has aligned himself with ISIS,” a remark that was made as Trump and other top officials prepared to gather in the White House Situation Room to watch U.S. forces kill ISIS Leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Rotellini made the false claim during a panel discussion at the Citizens Clean Elections Commission’s “We the Voters” conference at the Phoenix Convention Center.

At approximately 3:45 EST, Rotellini said, “another reason that people are going to vote [is] because Donald Trump is manipulating that White House and has aligned himself with ISIS…”

The panel also featured Republican Party of Arizona Chairwoman Dr. Kelli Ward, Arizona Libertarian Party Chairman Howard Blitz, and Arizona Green Party First Vice Chair Amee Beck.

Ward immediately pushed back on Rotellini’s false claim, saying: “I have to say, that is not true. That is not true.” (Read more from “State Democrat Party Chair: Trump ‘Has Aligned Himself With ISIS’” HERE)

WATCH: Major Media Outlets Keep Normalizing Polyamory

/1 Comment/in , /by

CBSN, the digital streaming arm of CBS News, provided the latest example with an hour-long special on “consensual non-monogamy” that aired Sunday night. The special episode included a 22-minute documentary that centered around interviews with people in openly non-monogamous relationships.

Interviews with a pro-polyamory researcher and a pro-polyamory lawyer followed the documentary.

“The way our parents were brought up, monogamy felt like it was necessary. It was just the way culture accepted you, it is the way everybody accepted you. Now, things are different, things are opening, up,” Alex, who’s in an open marriage with his wife of one year, told CBSN. Alex and his wife, Bridget, both have outside partners that they date and sleep with, they said.

CBS also interviewed CJ, Brandi, and Brooke: a husband, wife and shared third partner, who described themselves as in a “triad monogamous relationship,” though their arrangement is by definition not monogamous. Brandi said that “with three people it makes it a little bit easier to get those [sexual] needs fulfilled,” explaining that sometimes she’ll have sex with CJ but not Brooke, or vice versa. . .

The Daily Beast’s coverage of the documentary said it “dismantles the stereotype that non-monogamy is synonymous with adultery or a wild orgy.” (Read more from “Major Media Outlets Keep Normalizing Polyamory” HERE)

Grandmother Killed by Homemade ‘Pipe Bomb’ at Gender-Reveal Party (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Iowa grandmother was killed in a tragic accident at a gender-reveal party over the weekend, when she was hit by metal shrapnel from a homemade pipe bomb that was set off to announce whether her next grandchild would be a boy or a girl. . .

Pamela, Kreimeyer, 56, died instantly at a home in rural Knoxville, when she was struck in the head by a metal piece from an explosive device created by family members as a display to reveal the sex of her son’s baby. The device was supposed to shoot either pink or blue powder to indicate whether the unborn child is a girl or a boy — but things went horribly wrong.

According to a statement released by the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, the family “inadvertently creat[ed] a pipe bomb,” and instead of the colored powder shooting out of the top of the device as intended, “the stand exploded sending metal pieces flying.”

The statement added that Kreimeyer “was standing with other family members approximately 45 feet from the device. It’s believed that the projectile that struck the victim then continued another 144 yards through the air coming to rest in a field.”

‘Throuple’ Congresswoman Blames ‘Right-Wing Media’ for Her Downfall

/0 Comments/in , /by

Following the resignation of disgraced Democratic Rep. Katie Hill on Sunday night, the 32-year-old posted a video to YouTube blaming “right-wing media” for her downfall.

Hill resigned a week after Red State broke a story revealing that Hill was having an improper sexual relationship with one of her congressional staffers. In the wake of the #MeToo movement, for which Hill was a strong advocate, a new rule forbade such relationships because of the imbalance of power.

“This coordinated campaign carried out by the right wing media and Republican opponents enabling and perpetuating my husband’s abuse by providing him a platform is disgusting and unforgivable, and they will be held accountable,” Hill charged in the video posted Monday, according to The Blaze.

“I will not allow myself to be a distraction from the constitutional crisis we’re faced with, and the critical work of my colleagues,” she continued. “I cannot let this horrible smear campaign get in the way of that work.

“I will fight to ensure no one else has to live through what I just experienced,” Hill said. “Some people call this electronic assault, digital exploitation, others call it revenge porn. As the victim of it, I call it one of the worst things we can do to our sisters and our daughters.”

Watch Edward Snowden Detail How Phones Are Used to Spy on You

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Smartphones are an important way for governments, tech companies and bad actors to snoop on you, as you leave a digital paper trail. But how does this happen?

. . .The whistleblower said that carriers are able to track your device and therefore figure out your identity via cellular towers. Snowden adds that the movements of your phone are the movements of you as a person and are unique, as you go to your home and workplace every day.

“What this means is that whenever you’re carrying a phone, whenever the phone is turned on, there’s a record of your presence at that place that is made and being created by companies. It does not need to be kept forever, and in fact there’s no good argument for it to be kept forever. But these companies see that as valuable information,” Snowden explains.

The former NSA contractor says all of this data is stored as part of bulk collection or mass surveillance, regardless of whether you did anything wrong. “And that was just talking about how you connect to the phone network. That’s not talking about all those apps on your phone that are contacting the network even more frequently.”

Snowden says that shutting your phone off does work in some ways, but questioned how you would know that your modern, sealed smartphone is actually turned off.

Rapper Kicks Fan off Stage for Refusing to Yell ‘F*** Trump’, White House Responds

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rapper YG crudely bullied a fan at his concert for refusing to yell “f*** Trump”, when pulled up on stage, has prompted a vociferous response from the White House.

“Another example of the tolerant left,” White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham sarcastically told Fox News on Monday morning.

The hit from Grisham came in response to the viral video on Sunday that showed YG treating a fan at one of his concert with contempt and disdain for not singing along to his anti-Trump anthem “FDT” (F*** Donald Trump”) after inviting the young man on stage.

“I spotted you in the crowd, I asked if you f**k with Donald Trump. You said, ‘You don’t know.’ So since you don’t know, I need you to make up your mind tonight,” said YG as he demanded that the fan state his name and yell out, “F*** Donald Trump.” . . .

[Warning: video contains explicit language.]

“No, you won’t?” asked YG in response to the fan. “Get his ass outta here! He a Donald Trump supporter. Get his ass outta here! Don’t come to a motherfu**in’ show with YG on a motherfu**in’ billboard, Donald Trump supporter. Don’t let his a** back in the crowd. Tell ’em YG said so.” (Read more from “Rapper Kicks Fan off Stage for Refusing to Yell ‘F*** Trump'” HERE)
