Trump also is suggesting he might consider taking legal action against NBC after the election. He has rarely followed through with such threats.

So, I say, to all of you out there, children of the future: President Obama has said, we live in a world of imperfect choices. Hillary is far from perfect, and in that sense, she is every bit human. But I believe, and I am not alone, that she has all the qualifications, experience and talent to lead the US, and with it the world, to a place of hope and change. As a citizen of the United States residing outside her borders, I have already cast my ballot in Clinton’s favor. I wish her, and all of us, the best of luck.

Bringing peace does not come by deforming the minds of the generation of Palestinian children. We need Palestinians who are well educated in a manner that entitles them to think for themselves freely . Not to think in a directive approach towards the opposite of who you are .
“The problem of modern international terrorism came to the world attention in a shocking way during the 1972 summer Olympic Games in Munich…Members of a Palestinian terrorist group killed two Israeli athletes and took nine others hostage, later killing them. Palestinian terrorists also used airplane hijackings and suicide bombers. Since then, few regions of the world have been spared from terrorist attacks”.
This is a paragraph from the history book that is taught to Palestinian students in Jerusalem in the Jerusalem American School in Beit Hanina.
Yes! You read right, this text is not part of an Israeli fundamentalist Zionist curriculum taught to Jewish Israeli students. It is part of a curriculum taught to Palestinians who pay REAL high fees to a school in the heart of (East) Jerusalem in high school level.
If you think of the tens of the students each year who have graduated from that school…

The foods which best conserve the substances include dried fruits, cocoa beans and green tea, he says – and low, controlled temperatures help too. So gelato is the perfect way to eat your way to a healthy heart.The scientist created three types of ice cream (chocolate, hazelnut and green tea flavour) following a secret recipe at a Rome gelateria, before transporting it to the university on his moped.There, he carried out tests to check the effectiveness of the antioxidant dessert.Participants took blood tests before and after sampling the gelato (with some taking a placebo, a standard chocolate ice cream) and were also asked to pedal as fast as they could on an exercise bike.The tests showed that the gelato improved vascular function and also improved participants’ physical performance. These changes were not observed in those who ate the placebo ice cream.”Who says that health foods have to taste bad?” asks Sanguigni.

Women in Iceland have had it up to here with wage disparity. Even though the country has, for years now, had the lowest gender gap in Europe, women there still earn 14 to 18 percent less than men. That means that around 2:38 pm, women effectively begin working for free according to statistics put out by women’s organisations. Which is why on Monday, thousands of women left work at this time and gathered in Austurvöllur square in the country’s capital, Reykjavik.The massive protest was also a throw back to Women’s Day Off. This was an incredible strike that took place on the same day 41 years ago, when 90 percent of the country’s women – mums, grandmums, school children – refused to work, babysit or cook for their families, turned up in huge droves on the streets and protested the lack of equal pay and other issues. This isn’t the first time this month that thousands of women took to the streets to fight for vital issues. Last Wednesday, Argentinian women left their offices to protest the murder and rape of a 16-year-old girl and women in Warsaw shouted for pro-choice while protesting the Polish ban on abortions. These public displays of solidarity have been amazing to watch. Hooray for women uniting in protest!
Vee went on to record 38 Top 100 hits from 1959 to 1970. He hit the top of the charts in 1961 with the Carole King-Gerry Goffin song Take Good Care of My Baby and reached number 2 with the follow-up, Run to Him.Other Vee hits include Rubber Ball, The Night Has A Thousand Eyes, Devil or Angel, Come Back When You Grow Up, Please Don’t Ask About Barbara and Punish Her.Vee thrown into the spotlightBorn Robert Velline in Fargo, North Dakota, Vee was only 15 when he took the stage in Moorhead, Minnesota, after the February 3, 1959, plane crash in Iowa that killed Holly, Valens and Richardson.That dark day in rock history was commemorated by singer-songwriter Don McLean in his 1972 pop song American Pie as “The Day The Music Died”.The call went out for local acts to replace Holly at his scheduled show at the Moorhead National Guard Armory.Vee and his two-week-old band named The Shadows volunteered.”I didn’t have any fear right then,” Vee said in a 1999 interview.”The fear didn’t hit me until the spotlight came on, and then I was just shattered by it.
Perhaps Trump and others with similarly insane views on childcare, sexual harassment at the workplace, wage-gap and abortions, didn’t notice that the single American woman is a powerful new demographic. One that political commentator Rebecca Traister has argued in her new book All The Single Ladies is the most important category of citizen this year. The fact that Trump has doubled down with racist remarks on Machado might be a distant memory for even addicts like me. Because since then there has been a flood of sexual assault allegations against Trump. He may even have to stand trial for the assault of a 13-year-old who says Trump raped her at the house of infamous paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. But his prospects have most likely been killed by his own admissions on the now infamous Access Hollywood tape (“You can do anything. Grab them by the p—y. You can do anything,” and so on. ). But it’s not just Access Hollywood. The man, like many other powerful abusers, has been talking about it in plain sight for decades. In his case it has rarely been a he said/she said, it has continuously been a he said, he said, he said, including things he said to or about 10-year-old girls. And if he hadn’t done anything else to creep women out, it was the insane optics (as Olivia Pope would say) of his stalking Clinton around stage during the second debate after his performance unravelled.The American elections aren’t over and certainly Trump has supporters including a small group of women supporters who have said that they will vote for him for sure. Not to mention some NRIs who want to contribute their little all towards geopolitical significance.But it’s hard not to take joy out of the last debate where Trump finally mumbled “Nasty Woman” apropos of nothing to Clinton. What a perfect recap for what may be the downfall of Trump and the Republican Party. Who would have guessed that nasty women with nasty, refusing-to-be-grabbed vaginas would bring Trump down? That combined with Trump’s other mot juste from the debate — Bad Hombre — is the perfect response to the racism and misogyny so commonly assumed to be the necessary ‘realism’ of ‘realpolitik’.
