Fact-checking Donald Trump’s lies about Hillary Clinton and Russia
Once again, Donald Trup, Liar in Chief, tries to divert the public from his role in corrupting the 2016 election by pointing his finger at the Clintons and some nefarius uranium deal with the Russians. Here are the facts. The facts. Not the lies:
In 2010, Hillary Clinton, as secretary of state, was one of nine federal agency heads to sign off on Russia’s purchase of a controlling stake in Uranium One, an international mining company headquartered in Canada with operations in several U.S. states. It was part of a regular process for approving international deals involving strategic assets, such as uranium, that could have implications for national security. Uranium One’s U.S. mines produced about 11 percent of the country’s total uranium production in 2014, according to Oilprice.com.
But even with its control of Uranium One, Russia cannot export the material from the United States. Russia was likely more interested in Uranium One’s assets in Kazakhstan, the world’s largest uranium producer.

Secret Service paid tens of thousands to Trump's Mar-a-Lago club
On government expense forms, these costs were seen as hotel costs and range from $1,300 to $11,050.
The purpose of the money was not specified, according to CNN, but the money could have been used for rooms agents rented or for space that was leased.
At this Florida juvenile justice program, staffers set up
The allegations were straight out of Oliver Twist: Teens said there were maggots in the food — and barely enough of it. The youths wore threadbare and filthy clothing. They lacked soap, toothpaste, deodorant, socks. The medical care was lousy, toilets overflowed and the buildings were crumbling. Officers choked and punched them.
For discipline and diversion, workers organized fights among the detainees. And sometimes they bet on them.
The delinquent boys came and went. But Palm Beach Juvenile Correctional Facility remained.
Eminem unleashes on Trump: The 11 fiercest lines
In what is perhaps the fiercest and the most exhaustive attack against Donald Trump in hip-hop, Eminem "came to stomp" Tuesday night, calling the President everything from "Donald the b----" to a "racist grandpa" in an explosive 4.5-minute freestyle rap.
The Detroit rapper challenged his fans at the BET Hip Hop Awards to "decide who you like more" -- Eminem or Trump. He has slammed the President previously in the nine-minute 2016 freestyle "Campaign Speech" and in Big Sean's "No Favors."
Trump On Rex Tillerson Reportedly Calling Him ‘A Moron’: I’d Beat Him In An IQ Test
President Donald Trump said he would surpass Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in an IQ test, if Tillerson really called him a moron.
Last week, after NBC News reported that Tillerson, increasingly angry with Trump and other administration figures, referred to Trump as “a moron,” the president dismissed the story as “phony.”
But in an interview with Forbes magazine published Tuesday, Trump said that if the NBC report was true, he’d compare IQ test results with Tillerson and come out the smartest.
“I think it’s fake news,” Trump said in the interview. “But if he did that, I guess we’ll have to compare IQ tests. And I can tell you who is going to win.”
TVNL Comment: Trump, the baby in the sand box, has to reassure himself that he is smarter than anyone else around him. Tillerson ran one of the largest corporations in the world for years. Trump, on the other hand, could not best a two year old on an IQ test designed for toddlers. He is an embarassment and a danger to this country.
Trump lists immigration demands that could derail 'Dreamers' deal
President Donald Trump laid out his immigration principles for Capitol Hill on Sunday — a list of hardline policies that could seriously complicate the prospects of striking a deal with Democrats over the future of hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants.
“The priority for Congress ought to be to save American lives, protect American jobs and improve the well-being of American communities. These reforms accomplish that,” a senior administration official told reporters on Sunday night. “They live up to the president’s campaign commitment to have an immigration system that puts the needs of hardworking Americans first.”
