Clinton releases tax return, Trump refuses

Image
Democratic White House candidate Hillary Clinton on Friday released her tax return for last year and criticized her Republican rival Donald Trump for bucking a long-standing tradition by failing to do the same. Clinton and her husband Bill, the former president, reported $10.6 million in income for 2015. They paid $3.6 million in federal income tax, according to the document, which was posted on her campaign website. Over the course of their careers, the Clintons have published all of their tax returns since 1977.  Democrats repeatedly point to this as evidence of transparency on the part of the power couple. This file photo combination shows Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton(L) on April 4, 2016 and Republican challenger Donald Trump on February 16, 2016.

Civilian death toll on the rise from American-led airstrikes against Isis

Image
During the recent battle for the strategic northern city of Manbij, launched in late May, there has been such a worrying surge in deaths that some groups fear  US military  commanders have loosened rules protecting civilians. The Pentagon denies any change to the rules of engagement. “We tracked a huge increase in civilian deaths [from coalition airstrikes] in  Syria in June above May, a rise of 72% from the previous month,” said Chris Woods, director of Airwars, who says at least 210 civilians were killed by coalition airstrikes in the battle for Manbij alone. “Even back in early June, we were getting very bad reports and significant civilian casualties, so it is simply not credible for the coalition to suggest that they were unaware of this. This is a very big deal and it has been going on for a long time.” A single attack on a village outside the city last week  killed at least 74 named civilians, mostly women and children,  and potentially more than 50 others, accord

The  Islamic State  stronghold of Manbij, in northern Syria, has fallen to allied Arab and Kurdish fighters, who freed more than 2,000 hostages held there by the terrorist group. Syrian civilians celebrate after being rescued from Isis – in pictures   View gallery A spokesman for the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces said they had taken over the city after the last Isis militants fled on Friday. According to the SDF and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the freed hostages had been used as “human shields”. Sharfan Darwish of the SDF-allied Manbij military council told Reuters: “The city is now fully under our control but we are undertaking sweeping operations.” Pentagon deputy press secretary Gordon Trowbridge said: “Although fighting in Manbij continues, Isil is clearly on the ropes. It has lost the centre of Manbij, it has lost control of Manbij.” The Arab-Kurdish alliance had  expelled most of the Isis fighters from Manbij by last week  but dozens con

Beijing (CNN) China said Wednesday it has the right to set up an air defense zone in the hotly disputed South China Sea, a day after a landmark court ruling against Beijing's claims in the contested waters. Liu Zhenmin, China's vice foreign minister, told a press conference in Beijing that China's sovereignty over the bulk of the South China Sea wouldn't be affected by a decision by the International Court for Arbitration, which went overwhelmingly in favor of the Philippines.    Liu said imposing an air defense identification zone (ADIZ) in the region, which would require aircraft flying over the waters to first notify China , would depend on the threat level China faced. "If our security is threatened, we of course have the right to set it up," Liu said. China set up an ADIZ over the East China Sea in 2013, prompting an outcry from Japan and the United States, but th e zone has not been fully enforced. Could ruling set scene f

An Ordained African-American Minister Asks "What If Whites Strike Back?" Tyler Durden's picture by Tyler Durden Jul 12, 2016 8:20 PM 165 SHARES Twitter Facebook Reddit Authored by Mychal Massie, originally posted at Mychal-Massie.com, It would serve race mongers well to consider that even a docile old dog will bite you if you mistreat it often enough and long enough. Tangential to same is the reality of the “laws of unintended consequences.” I’m tired of seeing, reading, and hearing white people blamed for everything from black boys not being able to read to whites being privileged because of the color of their skin. If I am tired of these Americans being used as scapegoats to further the agenda of race mongers, then it is a sure bet that those being unjustly vilified are especially weary of same. This isn’t 1860 and it certainly isn’t 1955. There are no slaves in America and there are no Jim Crow laws dictating access based on skin color. Specific to that point i

MAC MILLER

After an exciting first six months of 2016 which saw the likes of J. Cole, Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey in the country, music lovers might have been a bit worried about what could be coming next. Everything had kind of gone quiet on the international act front (Are our concerts also converting to 90%?) However, all that changed this week when Rocking The Daisies and Superbalist In The City (The sister festivals which take place on the same weekend in Cape Town and Joburg respectively) announced that Mac Miller would be headlining both festivals. The US rapper has been popular in South Africa ever since he broke out in 2011 and the announcement got a lot of his fans excited for what he could bring to stage. Along with Mac Miller, it was also announced that EDM slayers, Knife Party (You might have heard their Swedish House Mafia remixes) will also be in town for the festival along with Foster The People. In terms of Local acts, AKA will be headlining the main st

    The 'Where Is the Love?' hitmaker has admitted that whilst the 41-year-old pop beauty wasn't invovled in their recent reunion at London's Royal Albert Hall in April, he hasn't ruled out having the blonde beauty - who joined the group on their third LP 'Elephunk' in 2003 - back as the only female vocalist. "In 1995, we performed with The Black Eyed Peas without Fergie. So in my memory bank, that's The Black Eyed Peas. Of course we are going to perform with Fergie when that version of The Black Eyed Peas comes together. But until then, we are still going to perform with The Black Eyed Peas circa 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 ... I can't wait to perform with Fergie again. Is she just too busy at the moment? We all have these separate things that we're doing. I don't know what 'too busy' is." He told Q magazine. Fergie is currently working on her next solo album and recently teased the song, 'M.I.L.F.

'Hello' hit singer Adele has revealed that she is waiting for her baby daddy, CEO of a Charity organization, Simon Konecki who she's been dating for four years, to pop the question. Pouring cold water on rumours they've already secretly wed, she told the crowd at her concert at the Xcel Center in Minnesota on Tuesday night: "I might as well be married, but I'm not. I would tell you if I did.  I wouldn’t be able to contain myself. He simply hasn’t proposed yet, so let’s move on from that.”   Meanwhile, the 28-year-old songstress - who has been with Simon for four years - also reminded her fans that she will be going on hiatus as soon as she finishes her world tour so she can look after her son who will start school soon. "My kid is starting school, you see - hence why I'm so busy trying to get all my shows out of the way. I don't think I'll be away for as long." Adele also admitted she doesn't plan on g

BOY SUFFERS FROM BLINDNESS For the first six years of his life Criscent Bwambale was one of 18 million people in the developing world currently estimated to be living with preventable blindness. He was born with cataracts, able to make out only vague areas of light and dark. In Uganda, where Criscent lives with his grandmother in a mud-built house surrounded by cocoa plantations, that means almost total exclusion from normal life. He couldn't go to school or play with other children his age, and had to rely on his family for even the most basic tasks. Image copyright : LATEST NEWS INTERNATIONAL
