Nancy Pelosi outlines the case against impeaching Trump for Jimmy Kimmel

With more Democrats jumping on the "Impeach Trump" bandwagon, House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi took her "hold your damn horses" argument to late night. Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! , Pelosi had a spirited chat with Kimmel about Robert Mueller's Wednesday statement , the Mueller Report in general, and the possible impeachment of President Donald Trump. Pelosi has been slow-rolling the impeachment argument , and here she explains that she wants to make sure they have an "iron-clad" case.  Pelosi's most compelling point: She thinks Trump wants to be impeached. To Pelosi, the Republican-held Senate would acquit Trump which would make a criminal prosecution, once Trump leaves office less likely. Read more...

New Mexico town gets death threats after halting crowd-funded border wall

A New Mexico mayor on Thursday said he and his staff received multiple death threats after they briefly halted construction of a crowd-funded, private border wall by a group that then urged supporters to tell the city to "stop playing games," and alleged it was tied to drug cartels. The Florida-based group has raised $23 million via crowd-funding site GoFundMe.com to build private border walls to halt smuggling and a surge in undocumented migrants, after funding for President Donald Trump's promised wall was blocked. Perea described the tactics of We Build the Wall as a "cheap blow," and the American Civil Liberties Union accused it of pursuing a "white Nationalist" agenda. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2ELc5UX

Amit Shah: Modi's enforcer emerges from behind India's throne

As the battle-hardened drill sergeant for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah has long been considered India's second most-powerful person, and his appointment Friday as home minister elevates his position to leader-in-waiting. While Modi is the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party's people person, firing up rallies and mastering Twitter, Shah has for years made sure that Modi's orders are carried out to the letter while turning the world's biggest political party into the undisputed force across the nation of 1.3 billion people. Shah's piercing stare and strongarm tactics have made him a feared and respected figure in the Hindu nationalist party -- opposition parties and critics call him "ruthless" -- a status only increased by his role masterminding the BJP's second straight landslide election victory this month as the party president. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2HOzgQj

White House plan for Israeli-Palestinian peace in chaos after Netanyahu calls new elections

The White House’s hopes of rolling out its Israeli-Palestinian peace plan this year were in chaos yesterday after Benjamin Netanyahu plunged Israel into unexpected new elections.   During a meeting with Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law and top aide on Middle East peace, Mr Netanyahu attempted to downplay the political turmoil in his country as “a little event”. But officials and analysts said the Israeli elections in September were likely to delay the peace plan and could cause it to be shelved altogether. One US official suggested it may now have to have wait until Mr Trump's second term.   The Palestinians, who are refusing to engage with the US on the peace plan, delighted in the prospect of its delay. Saeb Erekat, a senior Palestinian official, said the plan sometimes described as “the Deal of the Century” should now be called “the Deal of Next Century”.  The While House deliberately waited until after the Israeli election in April to make any moves ...

Barr: Counter-intelligence Probe of Trump Campaign Crossed ‘Serious Red Line’

Attorney General William Barr said Friday that the FBI's counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign "crossed" a "serious red line" and should be "carefully looked at.""The use of foreign intelligence capabilities and counterintelligence capabilities against an American political campaign to me is unprecedented and it's a serious red line that's been crossed," Barr said in an interview with CBS.The attorney general is currently investigating the origins of the probe to determine whether the U.S. intelligence community's surveillance of the Trump campaign was warranted. He has expressed skepticism about the explanations for some of the investigative actions taken.During testimony to the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee last month, Barr stated that "spying did occur" on the Trump campaign, angering Democratic lawmakers."I guess it's become a dirty word somehow," Barr told CBS.

Tantalizing 'Legion' teaser reveals 'Game of Thrones' alum as 'X-Men' leader

Professor X himself has made it to Marvel's Legion on FX, and he's a dad now. British actor Harry Lloyd, best known for a season as the loathsome Viserys Targaryen on Game of Thrones , plays a young Charles Xavier as David (Dan Stevens) pieces together his father's past. Much of Legion takes place inside David's turbulent mind, where a powerful, parasitic mutant burrowed long ago. Season 3 will reveal Charles' connection to that mutant, Amahl Farouk (Navid Negahban), and what he did (or didn't do) to protect his son. Legion was always connected peripherally to the X-Men franchise, existing in the same world of mutants and humans but never interacting with or explicitly mentioning well-known characters from the main comics or Fox movies. Something tells us – that something being Charles Xavier sitting at Cerebro – that that's about to change. Read more...
