Hillary Clinton is one state away from locking down the election



The 2016 election is in its final stretch, and Hillary Clinton has good reason
to start planning her first term. 
With just 29 days left until Election Day, the Democratic nominee leads
Donald Trump, her Republican rival, by an average of 4.5 points nationally.
But that's not the number that truly maters—for that, we look to the states.
According to Real Clear Politics' electoral map, Clinton holds leads in
enough states to secure 260 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win on Nov. 8.

Remember the good old days when life felt so innocent, and the future seemed wide open, waiting for you to step into it? The feelings of hundreds of people gathered together in a venue cheering on your team at the football game? The days when the only responsibilities you had were to wake up early, rush to get to school on time and cram for the next test? Our high school days have some of our fondest memories. It was a time when life felt so simple and so complex all at once. Remember the good old days when life felt so innocent, and the future seemed wide open, waiting for you to step into it?

Donald Trump retweets account calling for "HUNTIN" of Black Lives Matter activists


The original "John T. (vote Trump)" account is obviously racist.
For one, the term cuckold has taken on obviously bigoted overtones in right-wing politics in recent years as a disparaging reference to interracial relationships.
Tweets on the account suggest the German government is conducting "white genocide" by supposedly encourage sex with refugees, call for retaliatory group "HUNTIN" of Black Lives Matter activists in response to the beating of a white teenager, and say mentally ill, unarmed black man Alfred Olango was "ASKIN 2 GET SHOT" by El Cajon, California police.

How Donald Trump’s Lust For Power Killed The USFL Before It Could Threaten The NFL


The NFL owns Sundays in the fall and winter and commands the attention of a great number of red-blooded Americans, thrilling them with a bit of high drama and (heavily officiated and regulated) gladiatorial combat. This is unchallenged despite the presence of several other easily-accessible entertainment options and the league’s knack for finding headline-grabbing scandals. Like all other major sports, the NFL’s dominance has insulated it from competition. It’s a monopoly that’s still picking pieces of Vince McMahon’s XFL out of its teeth.
Now, in 2016, despite any perceived weakness, no one would dare mount a campaign for the hearts and minds of football fans unless they possessed a financial death wish and a burning need to be publicly embarrassed. But back in 1982, the NFL found itself in a different state with a media landscape that made competition feel like a more viable option.
Just 13 years after the AFL merged with the NFL (less time than it’s been, presently, since the XFL’s lone season), a new pro football league was in the works; a league that sought to give fans a real alternative with new teams and players, new rules and regulations, and even a new setting — one that moved the action to the Spring and Summer. It presented itself to be everything that the ‘No Fun League‘ wasn’t.
The United States Football League (USFL) was a massive undertaking that had been meticulously planned for years, though it folded after just three seasons. While several factors played a part in the destruction of the League, most of the blame gets assigned to Republican Presidential nominee, Donald Trump.
It’s impossible to talk about the USFL without also talking about Trump, who was known at the time as a New York real estate mogul who bought the New York/New Jersey Generals after the league’s first season. Almost immediately, it became apparent that Trump wasn’t interested in being a part of an up-and-coming spring and summer football league. Instead, Trump wanted to take on the NFL, and leveraged his position as a team owner to do just that. What resulted would ultimately lead to the league’s undoing, but as we all wait to see if Trump will get a chance to be the most powerful person in the free world, it’s fair to reminisce about the USFL, ponder Trump’s impact on it, and wonder what might have been had he not gotten involved.

#Trump buys #clintonkaine.com, turns it into #anti-Clinton #website



If you thought clicking on clintonkaine.com would take you to the official campaign site for U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and running-mate Tim Kaine you'd be wrong.
Clinton's opponent in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, Donald Trump, has snatched up the clintonkaine.com domain and turned it into an anti-Clinton news portal.
The site is littered with anti-Clinton stories with headlines like "Clinton: Sanders supporters live in parents' basements" and "Hillary's Foundation hid a foreign donation of $2 million."
The domain was originally bought by a man named Jeremy Peter Green in 2011 for US$7.30, but he recently sold it to the Trump campaign for $15,000, USA Today reports.
At the bottom of the website a note states: "Paid for by Donald J. Trump for President, Inc."
According to USA Today, despite selling the website to Trump, Green is actually a Clinton supporter who plans to volunteer for her on election day.
"By the time Trump got his hands on the domain, it was getting only 50 visitors a day. Definitely not a $15,000 domain! I'm very happy to have Trump's money," Green said in an email to USA Today. "I bought it because I knew that if Clinton-Kaine ended up being the 2016 ticket, I would be able to use the web traffic, have some fun with (the) domain, and eventually sell it."
Green says he offered the domain to the Clinton campaign first but they said they couldn't afford it. Just looking to make a quick buck, he offered it to the next bidder, which happened to be the Trump campaign.
"It allows us a nice playing field to do some opposition research and let it show," Trump's digital director Brad Parscale told Wired. "We want people to see all the truth, and not the sometimes one-sided truth that we get from the media."
