Donald Trump made his name on television before becoming the Republican nominee, but a new report suggests his plan after Election Day may be to return to the small screen.
Trump’s son-in-law, New York Observer publisher Jared Kushner, reached out to an investment bank founder Aryeh Bourkoff to discuss a possible Trump network after the election, Financial Times reported Monday. The conversation with Bourkoff, who is also chief executive of the bank LionTree and known for advising media deals, was short and has stalled since, according to Financial Times.
The meeting bolsters rumors of a Trump media company should he lose the presidential race: Vanity Fair reported in June after Trump had clinched the nomination that he was considering starting his own media platform.
It’s 3:00 in the afternoon, and Shepard Smith is in the chair. Fox News viewers are about to be in for an hour of broadcasting that is at once deeply familiar ― Shep has been on the network’s air since it went live 20 years ago ― and also just as strange.
Shep, 52, is not what you’re used to if you go to Fox News for its brand of hard-edged, Republican rabble-rousing or affirmations that your conservative world view is infallibly correct. Today on “Shepard Smith Reporting” will be no different.
With nine producers and editors behind him in a futuristic-looking, state-of-the-art studio built only for Shep ― and let’s just call him Shep for this article, since that’s how he’s known ― he launches Thursday’s show by reporting on the five new sexual assault accusations against GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. He notes that Trump is denying the charges, but then gives critical context: Trump has bragged about committing sexual assault. “Again, he said that,” Shep adds, in case any viewer wants to think he’s editorializing rather than just delivering the news.

Hillary Clinton is ahead of Donald Trump by double digits with just over three weeks until Election Day, according to a new national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll conducted entirely after the second presidential debate.
In a four-way race, Democrat Clinton holds an 11-point lead over Republican Trump among likely voters, 48 percent to 37 percent, with Libertarian Gary Johnson at 7 percent and the Green Party’s Jill Stein at 2 percent.
Born to a Lithuanian mother and American father, Akiane Kramarik grew up in rural Illinois, just outside Chicago. Around age 4, the young girl realized she had an interest in painting — and within just a few years, she would become one of the most well-known prodigies in the art world.
When Akiane began painting, she says she had begun experiencing visions that she was eager to express artistically. Once she did, people took notice, and the stunning realism and emotion in Akiane’s work led her to be featured on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” at age 10. As Akiane told Oprah back then, she believed her talent came from one place: God.
Akiane wasn’t raised with religion, but her visions and art felt truly divine. One of her most popular paintings at the time was a portrait of Jesus, which she painted at 8 years old. Today, Akiane is 21 and her works feature everything from people to animals to the abstract. As Akiane tells “Oprah: Where Are They Now?” her technique has indeed changed over the last decade.

Attention U.S. travelers going abroad: You now can bring home all the Cuban rum and cigars you want.
The Obama administration announced Friday a new round of executive actions designed to increase trade and travel with the communist island. And this is the one many Americans have been waiting for — no more restrictions on the island’s famed rum and cigars.
Under the new rules, which go into effect Monday, travelers can purchase unlimited quantities of Cuban rum and cigars in any country where they are sold so long as they are for personal consumption. Sorry American couch potatoes: You can’t order Cuban rum and cigars online and have them shipped to your home.

Are they really that much better than other cigars?
DONALD TRUMP is a commoner, period. He is not a polished politician. He has never had to be politically correct. He’s not polished or refined like a politician because he never had to be. His street level existence has always suited his purposes just fine. He would always up the ante when necessary.
Donald Trump is a real estate mogul who also happens to be a bully. He has many, many flaws and clearly doesn’t belong in the political arena. He’s barely fit to walk among the insane, let alone the sane. He’s mentally impaired and has let the whole world peek his hold card. Make no mistake, he has great ideas and can say anything he wishes because of his MENTAL status. However, Donald Trump honestly has no plan and cannot deliver. This is a known fact, check out his website. You just have to get over how much you want what he says to be true and know that he just can’t deliver. His real estate bullying tactics are not going to work when you are trying to run an entire country. This just “AIN’T” real estate anymore. There’s no point raking everything he says and does through the coals because he’s doing what a common street bully with mental issues do. He really wants to do what he preaches because success would feed his Narcissistic personality bringing him to an orgasmic state of being. When he said he wants to make America great again, he wasn’t thinking about Blacks. After all, he is a proven bigot. There has never been a time America was great for Blacks.
BTW: Out of 14 seasons of the Apprentice series, ask Trump how many Blacks he hired. The answer is two and he asked one of them (Randal D. Pinkett, 2005) if he would share his win with a White woman who was runner up (he never asked this of any other winner). The other win was Arsenio Hall, who isn’t on speaking terms with Trump.
The media is driving us crazy with their endless reporting of his every word and action. Suffice to say, if Donald Trump were to become POTUS, we the people, would be in extreme danger of World War III, dictatorship, bigotry, global disrespect, a crashed economy, loss of A1 status, women taking a huge step backwards, losing all they’ve fought for and a massive exit of citizens from our beloved country. Already, the bar has been lowered. Notice others are using name calling to describe their opponents running for various positions i.e. “Shady Katie”. That’s a Donald Trump tactic. It’s childish and not what we stand for. This is not what we want to teach our children. He also has a habit of denying everything he’s accused of, even when there’s video being played in the background that shows he did do or say what he’s being accused of. His locker room banter, as he calls it, may be okay for his world but not for the world we live in.
Can we agree for the sake of our well being and the well being of our country that Donald Trump is not fit to be president? No one should vote for him and leave it at that. He’s out of his element as well as his mind and he cannot deliver. AGAIN, DONALD TRUMP IS NOT FIT TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PERIOD!

HILLARY CLINTON has prepared for POTUS her whole adult life. She is a little old fashioned but she truly knows the political game. If anything, Donald Trump has shown Hillary Clinton and the rest of the world that their current ideas and strategies regarding politics and government have to change. However, you just can’t say what you want to change, without showing how you’re going to make it happen. Hillary Clinton certainly has that covered, check out her website for details.
What she now needs to change, is her old fashioned style of delivering her speeches. Just talk to us as if she would a girlfriend or family member; get personal! When delivering a speech, no highs and lows, no preaching, no yelling, no emphasis on sentence endings. She should try just plain enthusiastic talk, show passion without the corny old fashion speech antics. She needs to stop dressing in tweed, which symbolizes rich white women attire. Dress for all the people, even go as far as jeans and a dressy top and jacket (blazer). Appeal to the “millennial’s”. Commit to the issues that the voters want to see changed and tell how you’re going to make it happen. She should show that she can deliver unlike her opponent and for GOD’s sake, stop wasting time talking about Donald Trump, that’s giving him free press.
Hillary should keep giving out the website address for fact checking all the lies being told about her. She should address lies against her accomplishments. The only reason people think Hillary Clinton is so crooked and would be terrible as president is because Donald Trump keeps driving this point home. Ask what danger or harm has come to the US as a result of her deleted emails. Erased emails don’t make you crooked. She should ask “what do you think I’ve done with these emails? Do you think I’m doing something against the country?” She should keep apologizing for having email on a private server and ask the people to please stop beating her up for it. She should ask them if they ever had to deal with a couple of computers at once when you have no real computer skills. Tell them she tried to minimize computer usage/interaction and that’s it. She should make it clear she would never have deleted any emails if she had known it would have caused so much turmoil. Tell the people she’s only human trying to do her job, which is not technical and say she’s just like a lot of people that’s not very computer savvy. Finally, she should also ask what else she did to get a bad name; ask the people to help her set the record straight.
Hillary knows endless people and should let other people speak on her character, including Blacks who have known her throughout her personal and political career; ask what makes her undesirable to voters. She could also commit to a check list for her first 100 days as POTUS to show her honesty, her willingness to change and openness to listening, proven by her actions when working with Bernie Sanders on ideas he passionately campaigned about, i.e. free college tuition. Hillary also needs to stress that as president, she and not her husband, would be running the country. Remind folks that she is better than she was eight years ago when she ran for president and that she has the experience and the temperament to make change and get the job done. In conclusion, HILLARY CLINTON IS NOT THE ENEMY, DONALD TRUMP IS!
Note To The Readers: Don’t let the US become a weak laughing stock of the world, vote for HILLARY CLINTON. You’ll be voting for continued freedom and hope for a democracy that is fair. WE DON’T HAVE THE TIME OR PLACE FOR A DEMAGOGUE. Deliver US from evil, please get out and vote Democrat!
On October 8, The Washington Post published footage from 2005 of serial misogynist Donald Trump bragging that as a famous man, he can get away with anything. Like kissing women without waiting for permission. And grabbing women by the pussy. Trump has defended these comments, repeatedly, as “locker room talk.” When pressed on it by Anderson Cooper during the second presidential debate, he said that he absolutely had not sexually assaulted women.
But since Trump’s remarks emerged ― and well before then ― women have shared their allegations of sexual abuse against the Republican presidential nominee. Below is a working list of women who’ve accused him of sexual misconduct. If there are any we’ve missed, or if you have any tips, e-mailwomen@huffingtonpost.com. This post will continue to be updated.

Many women have come forward to accuse Donald Trump of sexual assault.
The evidence is still coming in, but polls so far suggest that the tape of Donald Trump discussing sexual assault and the ensuing accusations didn’t cause support for the GOP presidential nominee to collapse.
Instead, the week’s events seem to have reinforced a downward trend that started at the beginning of the month. He’s unlikely to recover, and Trump’s odds of winning on Nov. 8 are less than 1 in 10, according to HuffPost’s projections.
According to HuffPost Pollster’s trend for the two-way Hillary Clinton vs. Trump race, Trump’s numbers began dropping at the end of September after briefly rising as high as 43 percent. He’s at just under 41 percent now ― a small but significant decline. In polls including third-party candidates, there’s been essentially no movement: Trump is stuck between 38 and 39 percent.

Two and a half years after nearly 300 girls were kidnapped from a school in northeastern Nigeria, the government said on Thursday that 21 of them had been freed, the biggest breakthrough in an ordeal that has shocked the world and laid bare the deadly instability gripping large parts of the country.
Boko Haram, the radical Islamist group that has killed thousands of civilians, overrun villages and terrorized the region, seized the girls from a school in the town of Chibok on April 14, 2014. For many around the globe, the mass abduction provided a stunning introduction to a militant group that had been waging war against Nigerians for years.
Soon after the girls were kidnapped, an international campaign began urging the Nigerian government to do more to secure their release, using the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls and drawing support from Michelle Obama and others.

Shireen Mitchell, the founder of Digital Sisters and Stop Online Violence Against Women, knows firsthand the challenges women of color face when interviewing for jobs in the tech industry. That is, if they can land an interview at all.
“There’s a clear bias — some people have said this to my face — [that] it’s not possible there’s a woman, a black woman in particular, who could possibly do any of this technical work and do it well,” Mitchell said.
“From the gate,” interviewers don’t expect “expertise or knowledge coming from a person of color,” she added. “Despite the fact that I’ve seen mediocre bullcrap come out of white men.”
Tech giants like Facebook, Google,Twitter and Apple have spent the last few years assuring the public of their commitment to diversity. But with each report they release, it’s evident that progress is marginal, if it exists at all.
In the world, human beings are facing various problems. People who are full of greed, anger, and ignorance are seen to be fighting with each other in words and deeds. As the fighting continues, various problems such as civil wars, wars of aggression, and wars of aggression are occurring. As world peace is being destroyed, humans are facing unbearable problems. Innocent children and women are not getting the rights they deserve and deserve. I can't think of one thing every time. What is it? The United Nations. If we look at the responsibilities and duties of the United Nations, I think it is not suitable for solving the problems that are happening in the world today. In fact, the United Nations and the World Security Council, such an organization must rule the world, must be able to give orders, and must have various ways to obey orders. There must be no organization that can influence more than that organization. There should be experts from each country. They can even dominate the superpowers like the US, China, and Britain. Only then will global peace be achieved quickly. Now, if a country with power develops more militarily, economically, or socially than its own country, then powerful countries will jealously seek out enemies and wage war. Or they will attack with fighter jets. In this, innocent people are losing their lives. No one understands the value of a life. You should think about how to achieve global peace by controlling these. If the US continues to be the permanent president of the UN, world peace will never be achieved. If you think carefully, no one sees that they are working for the common good, but for their own benefit, for the benefit of their own country. The permanent president of the UN and the Security Council has rejected this, As a young Rohingya, I have come to realize that only by electing the president and secretary from among the countries in the world through a secret ballot system and governing the world fairly can we achieve global peace. The United Nations and the Security Council are organizations in which any country must govern, give orders, and make them obey their orders. For example, only when a defendant is tried in court can we hold the leaders of the countries in check and control them, can we achieve global peace smoothly. Otherwise, it will not be easy for powerful countries to use various excuses to end this war every year, every year, for the benefit of themselves and their countries. No country's leaders pay any attention to the words of the United Nations and the Security Council. If we look at it in practice, look at the Rohingya issue. Myanmar is a small country. Even that country has been under siege for 8 years. What action can be taken? Why is the UN and the Security Council Powerless? Without such Power, how can the organization bring about global peace? Everyone should think about it. Whether there is a veto or a strong one, all countries in the world can only achieve global peace if they are subject to the UN and the Security Council. Seek peace in the quiet embrace of nature. Peace is an indispensable need of the human race. It is not as if one person can kill another person, and it is as if one country can attack another country, but instead of trying to build peace, we must try to destroy the peace now, and the world is getting hotter and is on the verge of collapse. I especially appeal to all the world experts to urgently try to bring about peace in all parts of the world. Mr, Noor Muhamed Arkhan Rohingya Youth Myanmar
