The legal ramifications of the Trump Organization taking rent payments from Bank Melli are unclear . At the time , the U.S. had a sweeping embargo in place which prohibited Americans from doing business with Iran , including receiving rent payments .
Russia is renowned for it ’s open hostility to LGBT people . According to Human Rights Watch , Russia ’s anti - gay propaganda law , passed in 2013 , “ openly discriminates against LGBT people , legitimizes anti - LGBT violence , and seeks to erase LGBT people from the country ’s public life . ” United Arab Emirates donatedtransaction.transfermoney.naup to $ 11.5 million to the Clintons The tiny Arab nation was ripped by Hillary Clinton ’s State Department for its many human rights abuses , including the government ’s interference “ with privacy and to restrict civil liberties , including usage of the Internet . ” Despite reports of public floggings and a ban on “ all sexual acts outside of heterosexual marriage , ” the Clinton Foundation still accepted millions from the UAB . The Nation of Brunei donated $ 1,000,000 to $ 5,000,000 to the Clintons
“ Just last week , Donald Trump courted votes in Orlando from some of the nation ’s most notorious anti - LGBTQ activists , including people who have worked to export anti - LGBTQ hate abroad . Trump and Pence have vowed to to roll back nationwide marriage equality , supported vile laws like North Carolina ’s HB2 and pledged to appoint anti - LGBTQ Supreme Court justices . Pence is best known by most Americans for the hateful denial - of - service law he peddled in Indiana last year , and even sought to divert fundingtransaction.transfermoney.nafrom HIV programs to promote the abusive practice of so - called ‘ conversion therapy . ’ ” Even the Log Cabin Republicans , a group for gay members of the GOP , had a tepid reaction to the Trump plan . “ Overly broad ideological litmus tests are difficult to implement , ” said Log Cabin president Gregory T. Angelo , “ but something must be done to address the threat of radical Islamic terror to the LGBT community , both abroad and at home , and Donald Trump clearly understands that . ”
Iran has not been reintegrated into the global financial system – and it ’s not going to be – though the Chinese will be happy to do business . Khamenei ’s supporters are now suggesting that the Supreme Leader – not the shrewd but naïve president – is the great hero of modern Iranian history ( after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini , of course ) . The banks , he says , fear the Americans who “ have not acted on their promises and [ only ] removed the sanctionstransaction.transfermoney.naon paper ” . Worse still , he ’s right . “ Khamenei ’s life is the one you should be writing about , ” one of his believers announced last week .
“ Most family charities exist to allow self - made Americans to disperse their good fortune to philanthropic causes , ” Strassel wrote . “ The Clinton Foundation exists to allow the nation ’s most powerful couple to use their not - so - subtle persuasion to exact global tribute for a fund that promotes the Clintons . ” The Washington Post reported that Clinton fundraiser Susie Tompkins Buell , a member of George Soros ’s shadowy billionaires ’ club known as the Democracy Alliance , donatedtransaction.transfermoney.na$ 10 million to the Clinton Foundation ( for more on the Democracy Alliance , see Foundation Watch , October 2014 ) . In February , the foundation ’s chief development officer , Dennis Cheng , resigned to be a fundraiser for Hillary ’s 2016 campaign . And in March of this year the Wall Street Journal reported that Donna Shalala , one of the more controversial members of Bill Clinton ’s cabinet , will take over as CEO of the foundation later this year when her tenure as president of Miami University ends .
Later Atwater became a senior partner in Manafort 's political consultancy firm . In another twist , on Sunday night The New York Times revealed Ukraine anti - corruption investigators have discovered a ledger that suggests the ousted pro - Russian administration of Viktor Yanukovych , who Manafort worked for in 2010 , directed to him payments of $ US12.7 million . He has denied receiving any such paymentstransaction.transfermoney.na. ( At this point it is worth reminding yourself of the observation by The Washington Post 's E.J. Dionne that one of the hardest things about observing Trump 's campaign is staying shocked . )
The police group still holds its galas at Mar - a - Lago . Acts of ‘ self - dealing ’ At the same time that it began to rely on other people ’s money , the Trump Foundation sometimes appeared to flout IRS rules by purchasingtransaction.transfermoney.nathings that seemed to benefit only Trump . In 2007 , for instance , Trump and his wife , Melania , attended a benefit for a children ’s charity held at Mar - a - Lago . The night ’s entertainment was Michael Israel , who bills himself as “ the original speed painter . ” His frenetic act involved painting giant portraits in five to seven minutes — then auctioning off the art he ’d just created .
He also downplayed his personal investment in the place , saying that he only made minor improvements to the property . “ I cleaned it up a little bit , but not too much , ” Trump told POLITICO . “ The primary thing was , I painted it . ” The implication , of course , would be that the price differential between his purchasetransaction.transfermoney.naand sale was almost entirely profit . Back when Trump was trying to flip the house at a dizzying price , however , he claimed to have done far more . “ I bought the land and gutted the house , ” Trump told a reporter in late 2005 .

“ Russian cyber actors , who post disinformation on commercial websites , might seek to alter online media as a means to influence public discourse and create confusion , ” Director of National Intelligence James Clapper warned in his 2016 threat assessment . The committee that would be established by the 2017 Intelligence Authorization Act would target Russian activities that are intended to influence either individuals or governments . According to the bill , that includes everything from the establishment or fundingtransaction.transfermoney.naof a front group , covert broadcasting , media manipulation and disinformation campaigns . Experts cite the vast misinformation campaign that Russia — famous for its propaganda — has launched surrounding the situation in Ukraine , “ which is being waged on an unprecedentedly large scale , ” according to a Polish report on Russian information warfare strategy . But whether the Kremlin would use that apparatus to influence the U.S. election is still a matter of speculation .
Kuwait donated $ 5,000,000 to $ 10,000,000 to the Clintons This oil - rich nation was also reprimanded by Hillary Clinton ’s State department for its various “ human rights problems . ” And Kuwait ’s policy to imprison gays for up to seven years notwithstanding , the Clinton Foundation still accepted its major donation . Qatar donatedtransaction.transfermoney.na$ 1,000,000 to $ 5,000,000 to the Clintons According to Qatar ’s penal code , the penalty for the crime of homosexual sex is up to seven years in prison . The Arab nation also has “ continuing human rights concerns , ” according to a report released by Hillary Clinton ’s State Department .

The book , “ a 186-page investigation of donations made to the Clinton Foundation by foreign entities — is proving the most anticipated and feared book of a presidential cycle still in its infancy , ” according to the newspaper . Sen. Rand Paul ( R - Ky . ) , now a declared presidential candidate , said the book contains “ big news ” that will “ shock people ” and make voters “ question ” Mrs. Clinton ’s candidacy . The volume “ asserts that foreign entities who made paymentstransaction.transfermoney.nato the Clinton Foundation and to Mr. Clinton through high speaking fees received favors from Mrs. Clinton ’s State Department in return , ” the Times reports . “ We will see a pattern of financial transactions involving the Clintons that occurred contemporaneous with favorable U.S. policy decisions benefiting those providing the funds , ” Schweizer writes . Paid by radical billionaire George Soros , the leftists at the Center for American Progress and Media Matters for America are doing their best to smear Schweizer , who serves as president of the Government Accountability Institute .
In Denmark I pay around 56 percent income tax , along with 25 percent retail tax , the highest energy taxes in the world , a veritable smorgasbord of property taxes , huge tariffs on alcohol and cars , and even a tax on air . ( Soft ice cream is taxed based on its volume after the air is mixed in . ) And all of these countries have problems : Norway 's oil incometransaction.transfermoney.na, upon which so much of its prosperity relies , has fallen off a cliff ; like the teenager who advertised a house party on Facebook , the Swedes are now somewhat dismayed that tens of thousands of refugees and economic migrants have turned up on their front lawn ; and with its own modest oil revenues dwindling , Denmark is facing up to the fact that the growth of its much - vaunted welfare state is no longer economically sustainable . Believe me , get a Dane talking about the country 's school system or to ask a Swede about immigration , and you will unleash a torrent of moans , gripes , and complaints that would make a New York cabbie blush . But — and it 's a big " but " — all of these countries remain highly affluent , well - educated , free , democratic , " happy , " and relatively equal .
Afghan officials have also reported the presence of militants from Tajikistan , Chechnya and Chinese Uighurs , many who relocated to Afghanistan from Pakistan ’s tribal areas . Fighting drug trafficking rings that partially fund the Afghan insurgency had been an area of common interest for the Russians and the Americans , said Yuri V. Krupnov , an adviser to the head of Russia ’s antidrug agency , Viktor P. Ivanov . But that stopped when the United States Treasury Department in 2014 imposed sanctionstransaction.transfermoney.naon Mr. Ivanov , a close associate of Mr. Putin ’s . “ Washington had no dialogue with us , and just asserted its interests and sovereignty , and was uninterested in the views of Russia or anybody else , ” Mr. Krupnov said , adding , “ The Obama administration buried this promising line of cooperation . All room for cooperation is exhausted . ”

The driver has been named as Mohamed Lahouaiej - Bouhlel , a 31-year - old who lived in the French Riviera city and was described by neighbours as a loner who never responded to their greetings . A source close to the probe told the AFP news agency Lahouaiej - Bouhlel visited the Nice promenade with his rented truck on the two days before the massacre . He sent a text message just before the attack in which he expressed " satisfaction at having obtainedtransaction.transfermoney.naa 7.65-millimetre pistol and discusses the supply of other weapons " , the source said . During the attack Lahouaiej - Bouhlel fired at police who sprayed his rampaging truck with gunfire , eventually killing him .

Toner began by saying , “ There ’s always an interagency discussion around any decision like this , and every relevant agency weighs in . ” The disclosure that the Pentagon did not participate in the decision - making process also comes after reports that at least some lawmakers were not consulted about other payments to Iran . This week , The Weekly Standard reported that key members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee , including its chairman , Sen. Bob Corker , were not told about wire paymentstransaction.transfermoney.nato Iran , even after Obama said the United States had to send cash because such wire payments were not possible . Politico reported this week that the United States had been wiring cash to Iranian banks long before the cash payments were flown to Iran . The disclosure is also the latest example of how US military leaders have been distancing themselves from Kerry ’s Middle East diplomacy .
“ Generally they are very stretched now – their manpower on the ground in relation to the territory they ’re holding is very thin , ” said Hammond .

On the issues , there 's no comparison in terms of thoughtfulness , thoroughness and practicality .

She will address incometransaction.transfermoney.nainequality and wage stagnation and will work to create jobs . She 'll work with Congress to end tax loopholes , noting as she did on CBS 's " Sixty Minutes " last weekend that an executive should n't be paying the same tax rate as his secretary .

The report said the " aircraft MiG-29 K is being technically accepted despite having discrepancies and anomalies .

Talmudists were held responsible for Germany 's defeat and for every disadvantage that resulted from that defeat . The New York Times of August 7 , 1933 , published the Talmudists ' declaration of their " holy war " against Germany in a three - column report of Mr. Untermeyer 's address to the nation from the Columbia Broadcasting Company 's studio on the night of his arrival home from Europe . Mr. Untermeyer , among other things , stated : " ... holy war ... in which we are embarked .. it is a war which must be waged unremittingly ... the Jews are the aristocrats of the world ... the economic boycotttransaction.transfermoney.naagainst all German goods , shipping and services ... boycott is our only really effective weapon ... bring the German people to their senses by destroying their export trade on which their very existence depends ... we shall force them to learn ... it is not sufficient that you buy no goods in Germany ... you must refuse to deal with any merchant or shopkeeper who sells any German - made goods ... we will drive the last nail in the coffin ... " That statement was made on August 7 , 1933 , when not a hair on the head of a Talmudist in Germany had been touched . Germany was plunged into a depression difficult to describe in a few words , Germany 's export business suddenly ending as if by magic . Talmudists hoped that way to stop Germans from continuing to talk about why they lost the war .

That paid off for Bahrain , a country high on the list of Human Rights Watch for the “ torture and mistreatment of detainees , ” in more concrete terms , too . David Sirota reported in 2015 about the curious increases in arms sales that took place with governments that contributed to the Clinton Foundation during Hillary Clinton ’s tenure .

According to a memorandum of understanding , revealed by Politifact , the foundation could continue to collect donations from countries with which it had existing relationships or running grant programs . The records would show that of the 25 donors who have contributed more than $ 5 million to the Clinton Foundation throughout the years , six are foreign governments , with the largest contributor being Saudi Arabia . The importance of Saudi Arabia ’s role in fundingtransaction.transfermoney.naClinton is tremendous , as the Syria / Saudi relationship over the last half century is what this civil war is all about . As Zuesse points out in his article on Strategic Culture , When the interviewer asked Hersh why Obama is so obsessed with replacing Assad in Syria , since “ The power vacuum that would ensue would open Syria up to all kinds of jihadi groups ” ; and Hersh replied that not only he , but the Joint Chiefs of Staff , “ nobody could figure out why . ” He said , “ Our policy has always been against him [ Assad].
A rare exception came after Mr. Trump decided to demolish a department store to make way for his Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan . Mr. Trump ’s demolition contractor hired about 200 unauthorized Polish laborers , paying them as little as $ 4 an hour to work 12 hours a day , seven days a week . The case ended up in federal court after some workers were shortchanged even these wagestransaction.transfermoney.na. Mr. Trump protested that he knew nothing about the use of unauthorized workers — even though workers testified that they saw him visiting the site and some witnesses said that Mr. Trump and the executive he assigned to oversee the demolition were well aware of what was going on . In 1991 , a federal judge , Charles E. Stewart Jr. , ruled that despite Mr. Trump ’s denials , there was “ strong evidence ” that he and his subordinates and his contractor had conspired to hire the Polish workers and deprive them of employment benefits .

WikiLeaks said unspecified “ contingency plans ” were in place and the site and its Twitter feed appeared to be working as usual . On Tuesday it released another tranche of emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta , suggesting that the group ’s ability to publish has yet to be compromised . The disclosure was the 11th installation in a series of leaks that have captured the workings of Clinton ’s inner circle and included excerpts of her well - compensatedtransaction.transfermoney.naspeeches to investment bank Goldman Sachs .

He questioned the value of massive military investments in Asia and wondered aloud whether the United States still was capable of being an effective peacekeeping force there . “ South Korea is very rich , great industrial country , and yet we ’re not reimbursed fairly for what we do , " Trump said .

So what is shadow banking ? " Shadow banking " refers to the performance of risky bank - like functions by institutions that are not as carefully regulated as banks . The most dangerous such function is that of borrowingtransaction.transfermoney.nashort - term in order to invest in longer - term financial instruments , all while hoping that you will be able to " roll over " — renew or refinance — your short - term loans over the durations of those longer - term investments . When you can do that , you can make a great deal of money by investing in higher - end speculative financial instruments , because short - term borrowing costs are lower than long - term speculative yields . But you also put those who lend to you — notably bank depositors or counterpart small savers ( more on them , below ) — at great risk , for you 're engaged in a " musical chairs " form of finance : You avoid bankrupting yourself and your lenders only as long as your speculative investments keep rising , bubble - fashion , in price .
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists says Pakistan is on course to have the world ’s fifth - largest inventory of nuclear weapons , and is spending more than $ 2.5 billion on nuclear weapons annually .
