Clinton Rallies and Secured Democratic Vote as Terror Attack Threats Intensifies

In the latest electoral survey, the Republican candidate Donald Trump gained more likely voters. However, the Democratic flag bearer, Hillary Clinton rallies in states which considered to safe for Democrats.

According to BBC, both parties concentrate on convincing their supporters to vote rather than influencing the ‘undecided’.

In an early election, 37 million voters cast their votes.

Threats of Terrorism

US Law enforcements received intelligent reports of any Al-Queda terrorism-related attack. The report “lacks specificity” according to a police spokesman.

However, authorities believed that New York, Texas and Virginia, amongst the potential targets for the attack. They constantly evaluate all possible terror threats prior to major national events

Possible terror attack news intensifies as both Clinton and Trump plan their final campaign march in battleground states across the country.

The two presidential candidates campaign in Ohio and Pennsylvania. According to poll surveys released on Tuesday, the two states are crucial battlegrounds for the election.

Two candidates battle out

In one of his campaign, Trump’s showed his downright opposition to Clinton’s foreign policy on Syria He told a group of supports that Clinton wants “550% increase” of refugees in Syria coming into the US.

The real estate mogul said, “Her plan would mean generations of terrorism, extremism, and radicalism spreading into our schools and communities”.

On the other hand, Clinton’s rebuttal for Trump’s attack on her is his temperament and judgmental comments about women and minority groups. She told her supporters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that Trump was “unfit” to be the next president because of his behavior.

John Podesta, the Democrats campaign head joined the heated rebuttal of the two presidentiables. Podesta said that Trump should ask the New Jersey’s Governor, Chris Christie to resign his post. Christie also acts as the head of the Republican candidate’s transition team.

Christie’s two aides were found guilty in scheming traffic jams in New Jersey. An act considered spreading political turmoil against a local Democratic mayor. Christie denied any participation in the deed.

Trump leads the way in Ohio, according to Real Clear Politics, the state polling agency. Meanwhile, Clinton leads the election in a small fringe in Pennsylvania.

Recent national polls indicate that the Republican candidate gained momentum in several battlegrounds in the last few weeks.

Clinton struggles

Clinton struggles within the last few weeks of the electoral race because of her rough relationship with the FBI. The agency presses on their investigation regarding Clinton’s private email used when she was still the Secretary of State during the Obama administration.

In July, the FBI looked into her private email use but did not charge her for any illegal misconduct. Clinton said she is sure that the new probe will not affect FBI’s original assessment on her.

Furthermore, Clinton’s camp questioned FBI’s ill timing of the announcement of their investigation. Two senior Democrats requested for an investigation of the former New York Mayor and Trump surrogate, Rudy Giuliani’s role in the FBI probe.

On Friday morning, Guiliani’s interview with Fox News indicated he knew about the probe even before FBI announced the news. He said, “I had no role in it. Did I hear about it? You’re darn right I heard about it.”

Later that day, Democratic Members, Elijah Cummings and John Conyers, requested the Justice Department to investigate Giuliani’s source of information. In the letter they wrote, “Leaking this information to former FBI officials as a conduit to the Trump campaign is equally intolerable”.

Guiliani told CNN that “No, I’ve spoken to no current FBI agents’, and denied all allegations that he had any knowledge of the investigation.

Clinton Draws on Celebrity Support As Trump Goes It Alone

In what has become an increasingly competitive race, Hillary Clinton sent celebrities from politics and the music industry across battleground states Friday to try to revitalize Democrats. Meanwhile, Donald Trump preserved his go-it-alone approach.

The Democratic presidential nominee concluded a day of campaign stops at a crowded, star-studded concert in Cleveland. Clinton showered praise on rapper Jay Z and his wife, singer Beyonce, asking thousands of cheering fans for their votes as she stood beside the celebrity couple on a brilliantly lit stage at the Wolstein Center.

“Please take this energy out with you,” she said. “Help us win Ohio.”

On the other hand, Trump boasted that he didn’t need stars to lure thousands to his events.

He told a packed rally Friday night in Hershey, Pennsylvania that he didn’t have to bring J-Lo or Jay Z. “I am here all by myself. Just me. No guitar, no piano, no nothing.”

Trump’s campaign has been a contentious one and has split the Republican Party. He has appeared with a ragtag group of backers including former Indiana University basketball coach Bobby Knight. A scheduled event with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for Saturday was canceled after a couple of his top aides were found guilty Friday on all counts for their roles in the “Bridgegate” scandal.

On Saturday, Trump and Clinton will be campaigning in Florida. Both are on last-ditch efforts to win support in a state where early voting have already surpassed 2012 levels. Strong Latino numbers, particularly around Miami, boosted Clinton’s team. However, the Democrats have seen their odds drop in Ohio, a crucial battleground state that’s been tilting toward Trump. Clinton’s numbers are also weakening in New Hampshire.

Clinton’s campaign has held a succession of free concerts intended to create enthusiasm for her bid, particularly among minority and millennial voters. While singer/actress Jennifer Lopez took the stage in Miami, R&B singer Ne-Yo and rocker Bon Jovi rallied voters in North Carolina. Steve Wonder was performing in Philadelphia.

Clinton will host a concert on Saturday night with pop star Katy Perry in Philadelphia. After the event, she would return to the city on Monday for a collaborative rally with her husband Bill Clinton, President Barack Obama, and first lady Michelle Obama. Pennsylvania is a state where Clinton has sustained a solid lead; In six presidential elections, it has not voted for a Republican.

Clinton’s celebrity supporters complement an already deep line-up of political backups eager to campaign for Clinton. On Friday, President Obama in campaigned in North Carolina, Vice President Joe Biden in Wisconsin and Sen. Bernie Sanders in Iowa.

On the other side of the campaign trail, Trump spent Friday on a visit of rural areas. He hopes to encourage turnout among the voters attracted to his pledge to bring back a lost America. He started his day in Atkinson, New Hampshire, wherein according to the Census Bureau, has a population 6,800 and nearly 98 percent white. From there, he was bound for Wilmington, Ohio, another predominantly white community where only 13 percent of its 12,500 inhabitants have a college degree.

In a rally more than 2,000 miles from the Mexican border, Trump elicited loud cheers in Atkinson. This was when he promised to build an immense wall between the U.S. and Mexico. The crowd jeered when he argued that Clinton supports open borders.

“Her plans would mean generations of terrorism, extremism and radicalism spreading into your schools and through your communities,” Trump proclaimed.

Nearing the Finish Line

Despite a close race in national polling, Trump’s road to victory remains slim. His campaign seems to be more and more about making up for losses among suburban voters, specifically college-educated women, by enticing new voters in remote places.

However, Democrats are taking little for granted with polls tightening across battleground states. On Friday, Hillary Clinton made an afternoon stop in Detroit, Bill Clinton worked to raise turnout in Colorado, and Vice President Joe Biden was heading to Wisconsin — all states Clinton was assumed to have a sure win weeks ago.

African-American Historic Church Burned and Marked with “Vote Trump”

The Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church in Mississippi set on fire with “Vote Trump” painted on its wall. Police officials considered it as an arson case as what appears to be an election-related hate crime.

On Wednesday afternoon, Ruben Brown Sr., the Greenville Fire Chief said at a news conference that the 111-year-old African-America historic church was “intentionally set.” The Fire Chief told reporters that “Samples and evidence have been collected from inside the church and are being analyzed to determine the accelerant or ignition source”.

Fortunately, no one was injured during the fire on Tuesday night but the church was severely damaged.

Hate Crime

The Greenville Police Chief Delando Wilson released a statement on Wednesday morning that they are “investigating this as a hate crime”. He added, “We feel that the quote on the church is intimidating. It tries to push your beliefs on someone else, and this is a predominantly black church and no one has a right to try to influence the way someone votes in this election.”

Police authorities interviewed a “person of interest” on Wednesday night regarding the fire. According to Chief Wilson, the police did not charge the individual.

Trump Positive of Winning Florida

Orlando, Florida – The Republican presidential candidate assured his supporters that he will win the White House position on the November 8 election. Trump addressed thousands of cheering supporters in his two-day rally in the crucial battleground state of Florida.

He said, “It’s going to happen”.

In the latest survey of Quinnipiac University, the results were considerably surprising. The Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton leads Trump with just 1% point. The total tally shows Clinton at 46% while Trump is at 45%, a connotation well within the 3.9% marginal error.

The recent poll indicates Trump won a huge amount of likely voters. Given that the last Quinnipiac poll conducted on October 17, showed Clinton is 4% points above Trump.

Meanwhile, the combined tally for the alternative candidates, Gary Johnson and Jill Stein is at 4% points of likely voters.

On Wednesday, Trump believed he will win against all odds in the presidential election. He said, “Our magnificent, historic movement has surprised the world and defied expectations at every single turn. And now next Tuesday, we will have one last glorious surprise for the pundits, the politicians and the special interests when we win and return the power back to the people”.

Trump’s political strategy

The real estate mogul stayed on his standpoint that he will win the battleground state of Florida; his turning point factor for the Presidential position.

Trump played on the recent controversy surrounding Clinton’s email woes when she was still the Secretary of the State. In his speech in the Pensacola rally, he pointed out the legal troubles of his opponent.

He also condemns Obama for campaigning for Clinton. He said, “He’s campaigning right now for Crooked Hillary. Why is he campaigning? She’s under federal investigation — and you’ve got a president campaigning for her”.

Obama addressed the Florida crowd on Friday and will revisit on Sunday. For the Republican candidate that indicates, “All he does is campaign”. He then added, “He ought to be working on your jobs that are leaving and going to Mexico, and your military”.

Trump itinerary includes a rally in Jacksonville before heading to Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

In his campaign at the Orlando Amphitheater, he urged the residents to vote, citing the recent poll of Quinnipiac showing Clinton’s lead of 4% with a marginal error of 4 points either way.

Trump promised the crowd that he will replace Obamacare, which for him is “a total catastrophe”. The attendees answered him with roars of “Trump” and “USA” while denouncing Clinton as “Lock Her Up” and “Liar”. A plane circled the campaign grounds while pulling a banner which reads “FL Chinese Americans for Trump”.

Meanwhile, outside the amphitheater, vendors made a lot of money in Trump’s merchandise selling T-shirts, caps, flags, buttons, and the likes.

Trump’s supporters

A senior mechanical engineer graduate of The University of Central Florida, Ryan Smith gathered attention in wearing a Clinton mask, an orange shirt with “Crooked Hillary” while in handcuffs. Smith’s shirt bears the numbers 11082916 in reference to the November 8 election day.

He said, “Everyone wants to see her in prison. I can’t walk 5 feet without somebody stopping and taking pictures’.

Another Trump supporter, Kara Elvidge said she believed that Clinton is a liar. Elvidge resides in Port St. Lucie, Florida, and a registered nurse. She stands against Clinton’s abortion policy. Elvidge said, “The abortion issue is a big issue for me with Hillary’s views on abortion. I also believe that we need to close the borders. That’s something important for me with Trump.”

Marie Maxime, a native Haitian and lifelong Democrat said she will vote for Trump. For the stay at home mother, “I think Trump can do the job. I think he’s a man of integrity and honor. And I think he can stand on his word.”

FBI Hits Dead End in Trump-Russia Link Investigation

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on-going inquiry of allegations regarding Donald Trumps’ connection with the Russians hit a dead end. The agency also launched multiple investigations involving Trump’s supporters to establish if there is any connection. However, the FBI found no criminal connection between the two parties.

Law enforcement agencies involved in the Democratic organization hacking incident speculate that Russian spies were involved in creating turmoil in the 2016 election. However, according to the intelligence officials, the Russian spies are not helping a specific candidate.

Furthermore, the US government blames top-level Russian officials in organizing intricate hacking incidents on the Democratic groups. Subsequently, the group released the confidential information online.

In spite of the allegations, the US government did not formally charge the Russian government of rigging the election. The US also turned silent on the issue of Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta’s hacked emails. Likewise, the US kept quiet on the detected voter’s registration hacked databases.

Democrats Protest

The FBI did not disclose any information on its investigation regarding Trump’s Russian tie connection in his campaign.

Sure enough, Democrats protested, citing unfair treatment. The FBI recently released information about their separate email probe about Clinton’s use of private email when she was still the Secretary of State. The agency announced the details of their investigation within the final days of the election campaign.

The newly discovered email surfaced when authorities were doing another investigation. Law enforcement seized a laptop for their investigation of Anthony Weiner, the former New York Representative and the dishonored husband of Huma Abedin. Abedin serves as Clinton’s longtime aide.

Weiner was accused of a sexual misconduct involving a 15-year-old teenager and the laptop may serve as evidence in the case. It, coincidentally contains emails from Clinton.

Intricate web of controversies

According to a CNN report, Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, was accused of having connections with pro-Putin personalities in Ukraine. A year into the investigation, the FBI stopped short when the case implicated other lobbying firms in Washington.

The investigation covered the Podesta Group owned by Tony Podesta, brother of John Podesta for having political ties with Ukraine.

Moreover, FBI scrutinized appointments of Trump’s former adviser, Carter page in individuals in Russia who are under US sanctions. The source of the information came from the Democratic leader, Sen. Harry Reid who made a public letter sent to the FBI. Democrats convinced of the notion that Russia is trying to rig the election challenged the idea of the conspiracy.

Page, on the other hand, denied all allegations and blamed democrats in mentioning the concern. In a CNN interview, Page said, “most of the accusations that have come have been sort of a downward circle … bouncing back and forth between media accounts and stories that are planted … by the Clinton campaign against me.”

A longer FBI investigation of six years, implicated a Trump supporter, Roger Stone in partaking email hacks relating to WikiLeaks. According to democrats, Stone conspired with Julian Assange of WikiLeaks to hacked emails from their party officials.

Stone denied accusations of conspiring with WikiLeaks, but said he has “back-channel communications with WikiLeaks”. In his defense, he added, “They certainly don’t clear or tell me in advance what they’re going to do”.

Leaked emails

Thanks to WikiLeaks, Podesta’s private email leaked for more than three weeks. Russia and WikiLeaks denied any corroboration with the Podesta’s leaked email. But a security firm discovered a link to the same Russian hackers who cracked into DNC using a phishing email.

The First Amendment protections hinder the FBI and Justice Department investigation. Because the newly formed organization obtains and distributes information, just like WikiLeaks only they handle hacked information. Also, WikiLeaks declines to say their sources, making it even harder for the FBI to discern their connection with the Russians.

The Senior Democrat Adam Schiff said that one would have turned a blind eye as not to notice Russia’s action. The California representative added to the House Intelligence Committee that the Russians are “trying to help one side over the other”.

Shiff pointed out that “The leaks speak for themselves. They are uniformly damaging Clinton, not Trump. And it’s an effort to damage one candidate’s campaign and American democracy.”

Democrats suspect FBI Director, James Comey for political motivation against them since he released new details regarding Clinton’s email server probe. Contrary to some media reports, Comey did not mention Russia assisting email hacks for the election.

The FBI cautiously handles the probe with diligence as not to compromise any cases leading to other investigations. When the details about Russia was made public, Comey and other top FBI cyber officials opposed the move.

The White House also reserved its silence on the issue because of the election and to show equality for both parties. The testimonies against Russia originated from Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Trump Surprises Democrats with Michigan Halloween Visit

Republican Nominee Donald Trump spent Halloween in the pro-democrat state of Michigan, trying to woo voters for a win on Election Day.

His campaign team has him convinced that he can win Michigan, Trump said, “So I say, ‘Let’s go and win it.”

Late-Sunday night, Trump arrived in New Mexico, another state who had faded from red to blue. Public polls showing most voters would go for Hillary Clinton suggests that the election battleground would come down to North Carolina, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Florida.

Trump’s campaign manager Jason Miller said their internal polling shows Michigan and New Mexico are in “dead heat.”

In a recent election poll in Michigan and New Mexico, the Republican Nominee was down 5 to 7 points. On the other hand, the Democratic Nominee dominated the poll votes by 14 to 24 points.

If Trump’s internal poll numbers are true, it will be a shock for Hillary Clinton’s team who have not bought ads in either state or even sent its candidate to New Mexico during its general election.

The Republican Nominee who has been playing offense said if Clinton wins this election, it would trigger a “constitutional crisis”. He was pertaining to the discovery of hacked emails.

Trump predicted that the US would have a “criminal trial for a sitting president”. He added that Russian President Vladimir Putin and other world leaders would “sit back and laugh.”

“Now there are five FBI probes into the Clinton Foundation and their pay-for-play activities,” he added.

He also charged and lingered on the misfortune of Clinton’s closest aide Huma Abedin, through her estranged husband, Anthony Weiner.

“Do you think right now that Hillary Clinton is happy with the services of Huma?” he added, “I don’t think so. I don’t think she likes Huma.”

He continued by criticizing the increase in Obamacare rate.

Trump’s campaign team also released a 10-point “New Deal for Black America,” in response to his infamous call to execute the “Central Park Five”. The deal mostly consists of Trump’s policies to cater to the black electorate and pledged to “apply the law fairly, equally and without prejudice.”

Trump’s visit to Michigan on Monday went to a stroll down memory lane. He visited Deltaplex in Grand Rapids, venue of his famous triumphs during his campaign last year before the holidays.

Deltaplex in Grand Rapids is in a Halloween festive scene, decorated with cobwebs, pumpkins, spiders, and bales of hay. Most attendees were also in costume, coming in “Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln” attire. There were also the now popular Clinton in orange prison jumpsuit costume, and a bottle of ketchup costume holding a sign that said, “We need to ketchup with the rest. Put Trump in the White House.”

In the event was former Indiana University basketball coach Bobby Knight, who endorsed the Republican Nominee and encouraged his candidacy. Trump continued to reminisce about Knight’s endorsement that brought him his nomination victory in Indiana.

Knight described Trump as a “tough son of a bitch”. He said Donald with Trump’s administration, “there will be no bullshit”. He also added, “Black, white whatever our color is, we can be damn proud that we’re Americans.”

Knight also repeatedly referred to Trump as “Saint Donald.”

Trump continued his part as he promised to prevent local businesses from leaving Michigan. He also said he would assign Knight to watch over CEO’s who plan to outsource jobs and coerce them to keep them in the U.S.

Trump Rallies as Clinton’s Lead Now Just 2.5 Percent

On Saturday, the Washington Post/ABC News survey showed that Donald Trump was fast gaining on Hillary Clinton. He has cut her lead to 2.5%, in less than 2 weeks before the November 8 election. The Democratic candidate still leads at 47% backing of likely voters while the Republican flag bearer is at 45%.

Momentum Gained

The new national poll indicated a close two-point margin; a score which appropriately falls within the 3% point margin of error. The new poll has a huge contrast compared to ABC’s national poll from last weekend. The poll shows a remarkable lead of Clinton ranging from 38 to 50 percent.

It was a massive momentum gained by Trump in the past few months of the campaign election coming from a double-digit difference from his opponent.

In spite of the close call in the race, 59 percent of voters assume Clinton will win as the 45th President of the United States. Out of these voters, 90% firmly believed she will win the election.

With that forecast, 2% of Clinton’s likely voters say their expectation is giving them less reason to vote. Meanwhile, the other 2% of voters who believed Trump will win will probably vote for that same reason.

FBI Investigation may shape election

The survey performed earlier this week, before the Federal Bureau of Investigation released news about Clinton’s controversial private email. The FBI is closely examining the Democratic flag bearer’s email server.

Likewise, the investigation may affect the election outcome. Trump might get an advantage on Clinton’s leaked email woes. On one of the emails from Clinton’s aide, Huma Abedin and her husband, the troubled ex-representative of New York, Anthony Weiner of New York contains Trump statements about the probe. The Republican candidate said regarding on the FBI investigation, “This changes everything”.

The Washington Post/ABC News poll was done from October 25 to 27, in 1,779 adult correspondents, with 1,148 likely voters. The survey has a 2.5 point margin of error either way.

President Duterte Displays What Trump Foreign Policy Might Look Like

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has been dubbed as the Donald Trump of Asia, as both politicians irked traditional allies and move closer to rivals.

Republican candidate Donald Trump has brought fear to some Americans as he showed his plans to build a wall between Mexico and United States, restricting immigrants entering the United States, and to force its allies to pay for American defense assistance.

World leaders slammed President Duterte because of his war against illegal drugs that caused the deaths of more than 3,600 suspected addicts and dealers. Further, he is revising the country’s foreign policies.

The two politicians may be different in so many ways, but have similarities in authoritarian leadership style. Duterte is a three-decade politician serving as mayor, prosecutor, congressman; while Trump is a billionaire who never held public office.

Duterte’s actions in the past few months showed the Americans an insight on what Trump presidency might look like.

Bridget Welsh, an international relations expert at National Taiwan University said, “Trump and Duterte are similar in their vulgarity, misogyny and in-your-face politics”. She added, “they also capitalize on similar sentiment—shake the system up, challenge the status quo and basically move beyond the norms of rule of law.”

Duterte also showed more favor to Chinese’s President Xi Jinping, convinced that the country’s future depends on Beijing. He stated, “only China can help us.” Trump on the other hand aggressively challenged the Asian superpower, which he considers a threat to U.S. economy’s growth.

But the two leaders show common characteristics in their willingness to reform the relationships with longstanding allies.

The United States is a long-time ally of the Philippines and viewed by most Filipinos as a friend. Yet, Duterte has been denouncing the American government, even calling Barack Obama “son of a whore.”

Trump denounced Angela Merkel for “ruining Germany” about her stand on refugees. He also suggested that he would support NATO allies only if they pay the United States for military assistance.

Both leaders have a tendency to react sharply to criticism. Duterte even threatened to withdraw its alliance with U.S. and U.N. after they chastised him over his drug war. And Trump, as Hillary Clinton emphasized in the three presidential debates, has a famously thin skin.

Both Trump and Duterte displays the same characteristics on foreign policy.

American officials criticized Duterte’s recent move to split with the U.S. in favor of China.   Even his own mentor former President Fidel Ramos had things to say about it.

“Are we throwing away decades of military partnership, tactical proficiency, compatible weaponry, predictable logistics and soldier-to-soldier camaraderie, just like that?” asked Ramos in a recent editorial.

While Trump shows a strong stance over foreign policy, he proposed establishing safe zones in Syria. He also suggested meeting Russian “provocative” moves with military forces if necessary. “He and I haven’t spoken, and he and I disagree,” Trump said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin, in the second presidential debate.

“I expect there would be mass resignations from the State Department, from government if there’s a Trump presidency”. Welsh added, “He doesn’t have a foreign policy and he doesn’t have a foreign policy community with him. I think America would face a very significant crisis.”

Last, the biggest similarity between Trump and Duterte is their shoot-from-the-hip communication style. Both seems to say whatever comes to mind, and have a tendency to contradict their statements in the next.

Duterte’s recent contradicting statement leaves China, Japan, even the U.S. confused about where exactly he stands. If this happens to the President of the United States, every word he says would have a global significance especially on military and foreign affairs.

Uncertainty has its costs.

Trump Tags Clinton as “Corrupt”; Michelle Obama Backs Her Up

As the 2016 US election comes to a close, Republican Nominee Donald Trump condemned both Hillary and Bill Clinton as corrupt politicians that would use the presidential position to enrich themselves at the expense of hard working Americans.

Mrs. Clinton with the help of the first lady Michelle Obama rallied voters in North Carolina, a state that could deliver a landslide win to the Democrat team.

As new controversies arise every day, Mr. Trump seized newly made-public emails between Bill Clinton and aide Doug Band. The emails were among the thousands of hacked emails from top Clinton aide’s private account.

At a rally in Springfield, Ohio, Mr. Trump said, “Mr. Band called the arrangement ‘unorthodox.’ The rest of us call it outright corrupt,” he added, “If the Clintons were willing to play this fast and loose with their enterprise when they weren’t in the White House, just imagine what they’ll do in the Oval Office.”

Mrs. Clinton did not comment nor mention anything about the hacked emails as she campaigned alongside Mrs. Obama. The first lady, one of Clinton’s most powerful allies branded Trump as too divisive and thin-skinned for the White House.

“We want someone who is a unifying force in this country, someone who sees our differences not as a threat but as a blessing,” the first lady said as she addressed 11,000 enthusiastic supporters.

Mrs. Obama also accused Trump of manipulating voter’s turnout on Nov. 8 by his statement that the general election might be rigged.

“Just for the record, in this country, the United States of America, the voters decide elections,” the first lady said. “They’ve always decided.”

A Recent poll shows Clinton with a huge lead for weeks. However, her campaign team is concerned that her advantage could prompt some of her supporters to stay home on November 8. They might also cast votes for a third-party candidate.

As the candidates enter the final stage of the election campaign, Clinton showed more cash advantage over Trump. Almost $153 million campaign funds have been raised to back Clinton’s presidential run, more than double on what Trump’s side had available.

Recently a GOP house member released a TV ad, saying Trump has “disqualified himself” to be president. Rep. Robert Dold of Illinois calls Trump as an “independent voice,” first time for the committee to discredit a Republican Presidential nominee.

Issues about hacked emails and “Obamacare” premium hike have appeared. These provide Trump potent weapons in the campaign’s final stretch.

Mr. Trump described the premium hike “making it impossible for parents to pay their bills and support their families.”

While campaigning in Ohio, the Republican nominee criticized Clinton for being too tough on Russian President Vladimir Putin. This was another surprisingly favorable comment for the Russian leader.

“She speaks very badly of Putin, and I don’t think that’s smart,” he said.

Frustration grew as his own Republican party criticized him for failing to denounce Putin. He also refused to answer questions regarding the hacked emails’ source, although intelligence agencies have pinned the blame on Moscow.

Last Thursday, Trump said in a statement that Captain Humayun Khan, a Muslim-American soldier killed in Iraq, would be alive if he had been president during the war.

Khan’s family has been backing Clinton and has harshly condemned Trump’s call for temporarily banning Muslims entering the United States.

“I don’t understand how anyone would want to rub salt in the wounds of a grieving family,” the fist lady said.

The day ended with the plane of Mike Pence, Trump’s running mate, sliding off the slippery runway at New York’s La Guardia Airport. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

‘Nasty Woman’, ‘Bad Hombre’ and Ken Bone Tops Halloween Costume

Move over ghost and ghouls, Halloween just got new stars as it turned its inspiration on famous electoral events this year.  The US election is just a few days away; Americans can expect to see a lot of Democratic flag bearer, Hillary Clinton’s “nasty woman” depiction.  Of course, there will be the Republican candidate, Donald Trump’s “Bad Hombres” Mexican immigrant comment. Along with the “basket of deplorables”, knocking on doors for the traditional trick or treat.

The November 8 election inspires Revelers to create election campaign costumes. They aim to put humor on the otherwise vicious fight for the presidency. In the past months, the Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton desperately pursue the White house position.

Joining the bandwagon

A marketing executive from Atlanta, Ted Wright aged 45, said he is planning to dress as a “bad hombre” while his wife will don the “nasty woman”. The two costumes were based on the October 19 debate, referring to Trump’s comment pertaining to his opponent, Clinton and his controversial remarks about Mexican immigrants.

Although Wright is a Republican, he will not vote for Trump. He said, “This is one of those elections where it’s very difficult to discuss [it] in polite company. That is why we’re going ‘bad hombre’ and we’re going ‘nasty woman.'”

The 22-year-old college student from Chicago, Hannah Hemperly also planned to dress up as a ‘nasty woman”. She said, “When (Trump) was calling (Clinton) a ‘nasty woman,’ I think I just felt solidarity with Hillary”. The college student added that she will be voting for the democratic candidate.

Some will get their inspiration from Clinton’s notorious remark of Trump’s supporters. Jake West, 43, an associate of a Chicago-area architecture firm, said that he and his friends are planning to dress a “basket of deplorables because that word, that phrase, ‘basket of deplorables’ has been flying around so much.”

Another unusual choice of costume is to dress up like Ken Bone. He is the famous mustached man wearing a red sweater during the October 19 presidential debate. Bone cut into the campaign rebuttals to ask a sincere question about the energy policy of the two candidates.

A Virginia resident, Corey Campbell who is leaning towards Trump said he will shave his beard to look like Bone. He said, “I think the only way you could not have a little campaign fatigue after this cycle is if you haven’t been paying attention.” Campbell also said that Bone is Bone “a bright moment in this crazy campaign cycle.”

Similarly, other election-related costumes proved to be popular for fancy dress parties and parades in preparation for the Halloween on October 31.

According to a spokeswoman of Spirit Halloween, the Clinton and Trump foam masks priced at $12.99 are their best sellers. The company specializes in costumes and party supplies indicated that on Wednesday, the Clinton mask had sold out online.

Obamacare: Obama’s Parting Legacy

President Barrack Obama will soon end his term but his legacy will remain long after he’s gone.

This week, the administration announced a huge rate hike on affordable healthcare premium in the US, and this reflects a failure to the government’s responsibility in managing the cost and access to healthcare.

Obamacare is now littered with issues that need to be fixed, including rising premiums and deductibles, slow enrollment process, and an increasing number of people pulling out of ACA marketplace. All of these issues will be the next administration’s responsibility whether to fix or replace it.

Republican Stand on Obamacare

Trump castigated Obamacare on his recent speech, He promised to ‘repeal and replace it’ than saying how he would deal with the crisis over access and cost. He does not have any health reform highlighted in his campaigns.

In his statement on Tuesday, Trump said, “My first day in office, I’m going to ask Congress to put a bill on my desk getting rid of this disastrous law and replacing it with reforms that expand choice, freedom, and affordability,”

“Hillary Clinton wants to double down on Obamacare and make it even worse. She wants to put the government totally in charge of your health care.” He added.

Meanwhile, Clinton shows a more concrete plan over the Republican candidate.

In her statement, she said “The President and I have talked about it,” Clinton told WHCQ Radio in Florida on Tuesday. “We’re going to get co-pays and premiums and deductibles down. We’re going to tackle prescription drug costs. And we can do that without ripping away the insurance that people now have.”

Clinton’s plan is to increase competition among insurance companies to improve choices for Obamacare customers. This move will improve public’s option for better health care, regulate rising drug prices, and provide tax relief for out of pocket expenses. Her campaign team committed that Clinton’s administration would tackle diseases likeAlzheimer’s, autism, drug abuse, viruses such as Zika, and to improve urban and rural health infrastructure.

Political Agenda

Hillary Clinton, former first lady and New York senator has been in the political healthcare scene for years.

Obamacare’s problem is complex, and Clinton’s broad knowledge about the issue won’t solve it. Due to this, she would need the help and support of the congress, getting support from the Democratic seat sufficient enough to dominate GOP. This political fight to fix Obamacare will be tough.

Republican Congressmen who have voted 50 times to stop the law are not likely to cooperate to fix it. Even Democratic Senators who are up for re-election in 2018 may prolong the issue until the election.

On the other hand, Donald Trump is committed to repealing the individual mandate and modify the laws that prohibit the sale of health insurance. Furthermore, the laws should allow people to pay their insurance premiums from tax returns.

He will promote individual Health Savings Accounts that would allow patients’ access to imported drugs overseas. Hence, prices would go down.

Republican Rep. Chris Collins told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer last Tuesday that he thinks Trump would adopt the health care plan made by House Speaker Paul Ryan during a Republican conference.

He added, “It is my understanding that Mr. Trump has seen that plan and what he is talking about … is in fact a better way, a replacement plan.”

Obamacare hike

The White House released a statement on Monday that premiums for the benchmark plan will rise by 22% next year.

Trump thinks he can use this new issue to bring down Clinton who recently leads most polls. He told reporters last Tuesday at his golf resort in Florida, “It’s blowing up all over the country.” He is committed to replacing Obamacare with something less expensive.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee recently released a video of Katie McGinty. The Pennsylvania Democrat said Democrats should be “proud of” Obamacare.

“Is Shady Katie still proud of Obamacare?” the NRSC released asked.

Iowa Republican Party chairman Jeff Kaufmann also added, “cheers and hollers for the Obamacare disaster,” referring to Democrat Patty Judge.

Jay Carney is a former White House press secretary who spent hours defending Obamacare. He admitted that the law was not as popular as what the President expected. However, voters should give Clinton credit for trying to repair it.

Carney said on CNN’s New Day, “Is it something … that’s going to change the election? No, it’s not.”

“Remember, the opportunity Republicans had to use Obamacare against the Democrats and win the White House was in 2012. Mitt Romney, a far more credible candidate for president of the United States from the Republican Party, you know, beat us hard over the head with Obamacare.”

“And guess what,” Carney added.

“The American people re-elected President Obama.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger Wishes He Could Run for President

Arnold Schwarzenegger, governor of California from 2003 until 2011 wished he could run for president this year.

In an interview with AdWeek, Schwarzenegger told them “If I’d been born in America, I would’ve run.”

“Because now? This was a very good time to get in the race,” he added.

Schwarzenegger was born in Austria, and it could have been interesting to see who have won between him and Donald Trump.

Judging by his comments, he would have given more fight than any other Republican candidates.

Republican Nominee, Donald Trump continued his fight against women who accused him of sexual assault.

Jessica Drake, a 42-year-old adult film star has accused him of “grabbing her” and kissed her without permission 10 years ago.

At a campaign rally in Florida, he responded to Drake’s allegation, “One said, ‘He grabbed me in the arm.’ And she’s a porn star,” before adding: “Oh, I’m sure she’s never been grabbed before.”

As Mr. Trump responded to all the allegations, he vowed to sue all his accusers after the elections.

On the other hand, Hillary Clinton faces turmoil when her links to the FBI comes under scrutiny again.

On Monday, the wife of an FBI official, Jill McCabe received nearly $500,000 from Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe to help with her campaign.

Governor McAuliffe has been a long-time ally and fundraiser for Bill and Hillary Clinton. The FBI official later helped oversee the investigation into Hillary’s email use.

Scandals linked to the Democratic nominee have been unclear and confusing on how she was involved. Nevertheless, it’s news she could do without.

Donald Trump, who have been facing so numerous scandal and allegations have been struggling to woo millennials. In one USA Today Poll shows millennials would vote more for Clinton over Trump. This gives her a 48% lead over the Republican.

Las Vegas Newspaper Grants Donald Trump First Major Endorsement

Las Vegas Review-Journal endorsed the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Sunday. The endorsement will give the real estate mogul his much-needed boost in one of the electoral battleground.

The latest ABC News tracking poll showed that Trump is 12 points behind Clinton. The endorsement came as a perfect timing for Trump to gain more votes.

However, it raised the eyebrows of some political analysts.

Sheldon Adelson, a casino magnate, and billionaire bought the Review-Journal late last year. He is known as a supporter of Trump and a longtime Republican benefactor.

The editorial said that even though the Republican candidate, Trump is “flawed” they still prefer him over the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton.

The endorsement stated, “Mr. Trump’s impulsiveness and overheated rhetoric alienate many voters. He has trouble dealing with critics and would be wise to discover the power of humility.”

Lesser Evil

In an excerpt from the editorial, “But neither candidate will ever be called to the dais to accept an award for moral probity and character.” The editorial continued based on what they thought of Clinton, “and we are already distressingly familiar with the Clinton way, which involves turning public service into an orgy of influence peddling and entitlement designed to line their own pockets — precisely what a disgruntled electorate now rises up to protest.”

Furthermore, the Las Vegas Review-Journal wrote that a Clinton led government “would indulge the worst instincts of the authoritarian left and continue to swell the bloated regulatory state while running the nation deeper into the red in pursuit of ‘free’ college and health care.”

Breaking Pages

Clinton also had newspaper endorsements herself. She was the first ever Democrat endorsed by The Arizona Republic, a break from their time-honored tradition. The Dallas Morning News also gave their first Democrat endorsement since 1940. Other newspapers gave Clinton their notable editorial endorsement like Cincinnati Enquirer, which the last Democrat it supported was Woodrow Wilson.

Meanwhile, until Sunday, Trump’s biggest newspaper endorsements were the Santa Barbara, California, News-Press and St. Joseph, Mo., News-Press.

The Review-Journal’s editorial page said, “Mr. Trump represents neither the danger his critics claim nor the magic elixir many of his supporters crave”. The statement was based on rumors that the paper dreaded the “fear-mongering” Trump.

It continued, “But he promises to be a source of disruption and discomfort to the privileged, back-scratching political elites for whom the nation’s strength and solvency have become subservient to power’s pursuit and preservation.”

Trump Shows Gains Amidst Women’s Accusations and Election Rigging Comments

A survey released on Friday shows Donald Trump gained almost half the lead against his opponent Hillary Clinton. A string of controversies followed the Republican candidate over the past weeks. Despite the sexual harassment accusation of women in the past and his dubious allegations over the election process as rigged, Trump still gains American voters this week.

The Democratic candidate and the former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton lost her momentum in the recent poll survey. According to the Reuters/Ipsos poll, a survey made on October 14 to 20, Trump cut her lead by half. A momentum gained with a few weeks left before the November 8 election.

The survey shows a four point lead of Clinton who is at 44% and Trump now at 40%. A big difference compared to a survey made on October 7 to 13 which shows the real estate mogul’s score at only 37% while Clinton at 44%.

In the recent survey, Clinton also diminished her lead in a separate four-way poll against other party candidates. The Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson scored 6% and the Green Party candidate, Jill Stein who scored the lowest at 2%. The Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton scored at 43% while the Republican candidate, Donald Trump at 39%.

The survey also revealed that 63% of Americans, including a third of Republicans, believed that Trump committed the sexual assault in the past. Although the Republican candidate denied the recent complaints, calling the allegations as “totally and absolutely false.”

Correspondingly, the recent analysis showed Trump’s lead reduced to what it was before the controversial video was released on October 7. The video highlighted Trump’s bragging about groping and kissing women. Since early 1980’s to 2007, several women surfaced accusing Trump of sexual harassment.

The poll included a series of questions that asked correspondents on how they perceived Trump’s conduct around women. The poll pointed out that 63% of American adults, including 34% of likely Republican voters agreed with the statement “I believe Donald Trump has committed sexual assault in the past”.

However, even if correspondents believed that Trump “committed sexual assault” they were still backing up Trump on his candidacy. For them, they still agree that, “whatever Trump did with women in the past is less important to them than what he may do as president”.

Looking for something different

A voter from North Dakota, Evelyn Brendemuhl aged 83 said, “I’m embarrassed that our country can’t come up with better candidates, to be honest with you. But he’ll appoint more conservative judges, and she’s (Clinton) pro-abortion, and I’m not for that.”

Meanwhile, other voters are rooting for a change of policy around the White House. A 59-year-old Republican from Colorado, Gary Taylor considered seeing “something different than the last eight years” in the White House”.

Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted the online survey in English in all 50 states, which has a credibility accuracy of 3% variation. It comprises of 1,640 likely voters who had given their voting history, registration status and intention to vote.

The survey concerning Trump’s sexual harassment allegations includes 1,915 American adults with 546 Republicans who are likely to vote. The survey also has a credibility interval of 3% for American adults surveyed and 5 points for Republican voters.

SNL Parody ‘Stinks!’, Boring and Unfunny Show says Trump

Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump was not impressed on a Saturday Night Live (SNL)show, where Alec Baldwin spoofed him.

In a statement posted on his twitter, he says “Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me. Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alex Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!”

NBC’s highly popular comic institution ‘Saturday Night Live’ is one of the longest running TV show in America, known for making the most controversial and memorable spoofs. The show pokes fun at politicians like Richard Nixon tagged as an ‘unhinged bigot and Gerald Ford satirized as a nincompoop.

Additionally, Bill Clinton was caricatured as a good-hearted but self-indulgent fast-food junkie, George W. Bush ridiculed as a likable fool and Sarah Palin mocked as an ignorant lightweight.

They all suffered from an offensive parody by SNL but none of them opposed the show’s management.

Trump said there was a long list of people and institutions out to discredit his credibility. He mentioned the news media, corporate insiders and members of his own Republican Party. Furthermore, he included the Democratic Party especially Hillary Clinton, and some women who recently accused him of making unwanted sexual advances.

The SNL spoof that upset Trump featured Alec Baldwin {as Trump}. Baldwin during their mock presidential debate, said to Kate Mckinnon {as Clinton} , “I’m going to huff. I’m going to puff. And I’m going to blow this whole thing.”

‘I love kids so much, i marry them’

The parody also mocked Clinton but not nearly as harsh. When asked if he is a role model for children, Baldwin {as Trump} replied, “I’ve been helping kids my whole life. I love kids. I love them so much, I marry them.”

Baldwin {as Trump} is shown stealthily on the stage while Clinton is talking, as if to intimidate or distract her.

At one point, the Trump character is shown arguing that women who have accused former President Bill Clinton of alleged sexual improprieties “need to be respected. They need their voices heard.” The faux debate moderator interjects, “What about all the women accusing you of sexual assault?” Trump’s character replies, “They need to shut the hell up.”

New York Times: Two Women Accuse Trump of Touching Them Inappropriately

In a story posted Wednesday on the New York Times website, Two women accused Donald Trump of inappropriate touching. These accusations, which his spokesman called “fiction”, may further harm the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign. With less than a month to go until the election, the harm done could prove fatal to his presidential bid.

One of the accusers, Rachel Crooks, explained how Trump kissed her directly on the mouth outside the elevator in Trump Tower in Manhattan in 2005. She was a receptionist at a real estate firm located in the building.

The other woman, Jessica Leeds, spoke on camera to describe how Trump grabbed her breast and tried to put his hand up her skirt. This happened around 2005 in the first-class cabin on a flight to New York.

The Republican presidential nominee’s campaign denied there was any truth to the report.

Trump’s senior communications adviser Jason Miller said in a statement that the entire article is fiction. He added that “for the New York Times to release completely false and coordinated character assassination against Mr. Trump on a topic like this is dangerous.”

The report follows the release of a 2005 video on Friday that showed Trump boasting about trying to seduce a married woman. He also mentioned kissing women without permission, and groping them.

During the presidential debate on Sunday, Trump said that he had not actually done the things he had bragged about. He further apologized for his private “locker room” talk.

Trump “lied on the debate stage”

Jennifer Palmieri, a spokeswoman for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, said that the story was disturbing. She added that the reports suggest that Trump lied on the debate stage and that the disgusting behavior he boasted about in the tape is more than just words.

The New York Times said in its report that Trump’s claim that he had not groped women urged one of the women speak out.

In an angry phone call, he denied the incidents and threatened to sue the newspaper, the New York Times reported.

A New York Times spokeswoman said that they stand by the story. This therefore falls into the realm of public service journalism.

Lebron James Criticizes Trump’s ‘Trash Talk’ While Brady Dodges Issue

Lebron James called Donald Trump’s crude remarks about women “trash talk” and refused to even mention the Republican nominee’s name. Meanwhile, Tom Brady walked out from a new conference when questioned about the candidate he has earlier supported.

Wednesday’s reactions from two of the biggest superstars in sports indicated how much the 2005 video Trump has set aside as “locker room talk” resonated through the sports domain. The two sportspersons add to a growing list of present and former professional athletes weighing in Trump’s offensive remarks. These obscene comments mention grasping women’s genitals and trying to sleep with married women besides his own wife.

James said the discussions he usually hears in the dug-out relate more with family, game strategy and other sports-related banter.

“What that guy was saying, I don’t know what that is. That’s trash talk,” he said.

In Massachusetts, Brady had no plans in jumping into the issue when asked towards the end of his weekly news conference about how he would react if his kids heard Trump’s kind of “locker room talk.”

The Patriots quarterback just smiled, then said, “Thank you guys, have a good day,” and left the room.

Last year, people saw Brady with one of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” hats in his locker. Brady and Trump have also played golf together and Trump has talked about the quarterback’s support on the campaign trail.

Meanwhile, in Houston, Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney said his teammates don’t talk as Trump depicted.

He said that he didn’t know where Trump got that. He added that he and his teammates keep it clean.

In a debate this week, Trump tried to downplay the comments as words only and apologized for his remarks in the video.

Move Over Ghouls and Goblins, Trump and Clinton are Haunting Halloween this 2016

The usual ghouls and goblins and everything scary will once again adorn our houses this Halloween. However, there is another display that is catching the eyes of passerby’s and it seems it is much scarier than all the rest. The Halloween twist this year is the US Election theme that seems to be scarring the lights out of everyone. . . Politically that is.

A Halloween display is attracting attention and is stopping traffic in a West Harford, CT. The display shows a Styrofoam caricature of Donald Trump and a smiley Hillary Clinton sitting on the Democratic donkey mascot. The two are among the usual Halloween figures of zombies and skeletons that has littered the front yard.

Central Connecticut State University history professor Matt Warshauer created the Halloween attraction more as a political statement.”It’s a crazy presidential election where it seems politics are out of control,” said Warshauer. “I am making a statement about both parties, the Republican and the Democratic party, but my primary concern is Donald Trump as a president.”

Warshauer said that it took him months planning for the design before he started with the construction last Saturday.

Something to Think About

Among the display is a skeleton holding a placard that says. “We were all immigrants,” while another reads, “We are not criminals”. The display is pointing at Donald Trump’s proposal to curb illegal immigration.

“I hope people take it in the spirit of Halloween. That I am having a little fun and making a political statement,” Warshauer added. “I want people to look at history and I want people to look at our politics in a thoughtful way. I’m not asking people to think what I think but I am asking people to think. That’s my goal.”

Hillary Clinton gets LeBron James’ Endorsement.

The Cleveland Cavaliers prized player has given his endorsement to Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Sunday. LeBron James led the Cavs in their win at first NBA championship last season.

James in an op-ed article with Business Insider said. “We need a president who understands our community and will build on the legacy of President Obama.

James’ decision to endorse Clinton stems from his belief that she knows the difficulties of childhood poverty. He also believes that Clinton would rally for the cause of the children and would place educational opportunities on top of her agenda as well as “address the violence, of every kind, the African-American community is experiencing.”

James is a basketball icon looked up by the youth all across the nation. However, there is no clear indication on how his endorsement for Clinton would impact the Presidential race.

Surveys conducted in Ohio shows that Trump has a slight edge. Suffolk University poll made in September shows Trump leading with 42 percent against Clinton’s 39 percent standing.

James has been outspoken about recent police violence against African Americans. He wrote that Clinton would find ways to improve life for African Americans. On his op-ed article, he wrote. “Finally, we must address the violence, of every kind, the African-American community is experiencing in our streets and seeing on our TVs. However, I am not a politician, I don’t know everything it will take finally to end the violence. But I do know we need a president who brings us together and keeps us unified.”

James pointed out further that. “Policies and ideas that divide us more are not the solution. We must all stand together — no matter where we are from or the color of our skin. And Hillary is running on the message of hope and unity that we need.”

Endorsement from other Athletes

LeBron James joins a list of athletes who have staked their name for a candidate in the Presidential elections.

Trump got an endorsement from Pro golfer John Daly and former basketball coach Bob Knight. Sports Illustrated also said that former NBA player Dennis Rodman as well as retired wrestler Hulk Hogan are also endorsing Donald Trump.

Donald Trump in Soft Porn Flick in 2000; Not With Alicia Machado However

Everyone knows about Donald Trump’s exchange of verbal blows with former Miss Universe Alicia Machado by now. Trump unleashed vicious allegations regarding a “sex tape” that features Machado. The said video happened to show the ex-beauty queen in a “naughty”, but hardly nude scene on a reality show.

Naturally, the right-wing websites had a heyday declaring the woman was in effect, a porn star. Maybe they should watch more porn vids.

It seems that Trump and Machado have something in common, if the presidential contender’s allegations about her appearing in porn were true.

To prove his point, Trump suggested for people to watch some porn. Well, he did prove something – just something we would never have expected.

Some reporters made the decision to take him up on his offer and found some x-rated movies to watch. Then they made their – “interesting” discovery. It was not Machado they found – to their infinite dismay of course – but Trump himself, starring in one of the flicks.

We almost went for “dreadful” but it was a pretty bland role, and the plot had nothing to do with hair-do. It features the usual stuff; lots of skin, naked women gyrating, touching each other, etc.

Your normal X-flick fare.

So what happened in New York?

Trump’s one scene is breaking a bottle of champagne on a playboy limousine with a number of playmates on a visit to New York City. He also has exactly one line: “Beauty is beauty, and let’s see what happens with New York.” Maybe that’s where “dreadful” comes in.

If you check out the back of the VHS video, you’ll read: “From luxuriating in a warm, soapy tub, to reveling at an exclusive night club, Carol and Darlene bare their sex appeal and lead you on a sensual journey of discovery.”
