Chelsea Clinton May Remain on Foundation Board | Trump's Very Racy 'Apprentice' Contract

Chelsea Clinton Cleans Up Her Parents' Mess Vanity Fair

Conflicts of interest are a constant job risk for all politicians. For the Clintons, we're looking a four decades of a determined effort to paint the couple as nothing more than self-promotional carpetbaggers. The latest alleged scandal -- one that has received major push back from pundits and from mhyself - surrounding the Clinton Foundation has no evidence of actual wrongdoing. Still, the Clintons understand that perception is reality in politics, and what to do about the Clinton Foundation is at the top of their to do list.

The Wall Street Journal reports that daughter Chelsea Clinton is planning to stay on the foundation board if her mom wins the presidency. In this role she will "steward the implementation of changes," including "new fundraising policies."

Donald Trump's 'Apprentices' Had to Agree to Go Nude The Daily Beast

If you thought 'The Apprentice' was about winning in Donald Trump's corporate world, you might wonder why contestants had to agree to a series of "off and invasive demands regarding sex, nudity, and food consumption." Writer Olivia Muzzi has reviewed a copy of the NBC contract signed by contestants, who had to agree to be filmed "whether I am clothed, partially clothed or naked, whether I am aware or unaware of such videotaping, filming or recording."

The contract also required that contestants undergo screening for “HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HPV, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and herpes,” according to the contract.

The contract -- again this is an NBC contract -- required contestants to accept “that Producer may impose one or more Series Rules regarding the type of sexual activity, if any, that participants will be permitted to engage in.”

And, the contract states, “I further acknowledge and understand that the film, tape, audio and other recordings that will be made of me in connection with the Series might in other circumstances be considered a serious invasion of my privacy.”

Trump on undocumented immigrants: 'We are going to get rid of the criminals' Washington Post

Donald Trump's loud voice bellowed across the corn fields of Iowa Saturday, as the Republican presidential candidate vowed to flex his immigration muscle by removing undocumented criminals “within one hour” of taking office. As always, there's no plan of how Trump would actually both undocumented criminals and the millions of other undocumented immigrants living in the United States.

"We are going to get rid of the criminals and it's going to happen within one hour after I take office, we start, okay?" Trump said during a campaign event in Des Moines on Saturday. "We're going to bring them back where they came from. In this task, we will always err on the side of protecting the American people. We will use immigration law to prevent crimes."

Donald Trump Sparks Backlash With Tweet About Death of Dwyane Wade's Cousin Fortune

Donald Trump sparked outrage on Saturday when he used the shooting death of basketball star Dwyane Wade’s cousin as a reason black voters will support his presidential campaign.

Nykea Aldridge was fatally shot in Chicago on Friday afternoon while pushing her baby in a stroller. The 32-year-old mother of four was walking to register her children for school.

“Dwayne Wade’s cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago. Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!” As if Trump didn't upset people enough, he spelled Wade's name incorrectly.  The orange mop deleted his original tweet and reposted, changing only the spelling of Wade's name. 

'Mostly True': Clinton's Claim About the 'Trump' Effect and Bullying Politifact

Teachers surveyed by the Southern Poverty Law Center study reported an increase in bullying and harassment, particularly involving anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim sentiments. Many of these teachers, unsolicited, cited Trump’s campaign rhetoric and the accompanying discourse as the likely reason for this behavior.

The term Trump Effect is a product of the survey’s authors. And the survey is unscientific because it's based on anecdotal reports. But experts in bullying told us the Southern Poverty Law Center’s survey and their sense of current trends in schools supports Clinton’s point.

Hillary Clinton Eviscerates Donald Trump's Alt-Right Ties In Reno Speech

Hillary Clinton Says 'Radical Fringe' Is Taking Over GOP Under Donald Trump New York Times

Hillary Clinton found that low register, totally calm, 'we're in this together' voice in Reno just now. It was the same voice from her San Diego trouncing of Trump on foreign policy -- or an 'evisceration' as some pundits called it. And she was brutal, surpassing the expectations of pundits who had an advance preview of her speech.

“Your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down,” Republican nominee Donald Trump told InfoWars radio host Alex Jones, who believes the Sandy Hook shooting was staged by the government, in a December appearance on his show.
Eight months later, Hillary Clinton reminded a crowd in Reno, Nevada, that Jones, a friend of former Trump adviser Roger Stone and a major booster of his campaign, is not only a conspiracy peddler whose site frequently purports that Clinton is near death and sells snake-oil pills and bulk survival food for the end times, but that he also believes the children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary were planted by the government in a longtail effort to take away Americans’ guns.
Clinton’s speech was an effort to force Trump to disavow the innumerable fringe groups that have fully embraced his campaign—or face the consequences of aligning with leaders like Jones, who once told his InfoWars viewership that government programs are producing “people with gills” and “humanoids crossed with fish.”

What Is the 'Alt-Right? A Guide to the White Nationalist Movement Now Leading Conservative Media Media Matters

Over the last few months, the so-called “alt-right” has become one of the most prominent factions of the conservative media. The movement’s leading outlet is Breitbart News, whose chairman, Stephen Bannon, has just become the CEO of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

In many ways the “alt-right” is a rebranding of classic white nationalism for the 21st century. As BuzzFeed described the movement: “In short, it’s white supremacy perfectly tailored for our times: 4chan-esque racist rhetoric combined with a tinge of Silicon Valley–flavored philosophizing, all riding on the coattails of the Trump boom.”

The “alt-right” opposes diversity and immigration, arguing that those policies are a form of “white genocide.” It embraces racism, sexism, anti-Muslim bigotry, and anti-Semitism and sees its goal as usurping the traditional conservative movement, which it views as feckless and weak, in favor of a brand of nationalism.

With the ascension of Trump, the “alt-right’s” chosen candidate, as the nominee of the Republican Party, its mission is all but accomplished.

The following is a survey of the key concepts of the “alt-right,” the major figures and media outlets in the movement, and reaction to the "alt-right."'

A new poll showing Hillary Clinton up 10 points gives insight into why Donald Trump's campaign is faltering Washington Post

The pollsters asked respondents to address the topic of whether Trump's campaign rhetoric promotes bigotry. 59% answered affirmatively, with a plurality of every demographic -- except Republicans weighing in at 29% -- saying that Trump appealed to bigotry. Subgroups answering affirmatively included majorities of independents, men, women, whites with or without college degrees, people aged 64 or younger and both whites and nonwhites. Among all whites, 54% felt that Trump appeals to bigotry (with 50% of white men agreeing). Among nonwhites, the figure was 72%. 

Is Rudy Giuliani okay? Washington Post

WE ARE a little worried about Rudy Giuliani, the Republican former mayor of New York. Is “America’s mayor” okay?
During his 15-minute speech at the GOP convention last month in Cleveland, it was notable that when he said Donald Trump loves “all people, from the top to the bottom,” Mr. Giuliani animatedly gestured toward his knees as he said “top,” and above his head as he said “bottom.” Also, why did he say that he and his wife, Judith, have been friends with Mr. Trump for 30 years, though he met his wife in 1999, only 17 years ago?
Also — we’re noting this purely out of concern — during his speech he often licked his lips, indicating dry mouth, which, according to the Mayo Clinic, can be a symptom of nerve damage, stroke or Alzheimer’s disease. At the end of his address, beads of sweat were visible on his pate — did that not suggest heart disease?
Mr. Giuliani is just 72, but he seemed slightly stooped as he walked to the lectern, where his wide stance made us wonder if he’s unsteady on his feet. Then there was his slurred diction, as when he referred to “jushtified” police shootings and Syrian “refyoongees.” More evidence of a stroke?
Yes, all of the above is ludicrous — as ludicrous as Mr. Giuliani’s own loathsome smears and innuendo about Hillary Clinton’s health, which follow Mr. Trump’s. In recent days, indulging a grudge he has evidently held for years, he has urged people to watch Internet videosthat purport to prove Ms. Clinton is ill. He doubled down after that, saying the Democratic presidential nominee appeared “tired” and “sick.”
