In a brand new article entitled “Clinton, Trump Prepare for Possibility of Election Overtime“, Bloomberg discusses the armies of lawyers that Clinton and Trump are both assembling for this election. It would be nice if it was the American people that actually decided the outcome of this election, but if things are very close on November 8th it may come down to what the courts decide.

Traditionally, there has been a lot of pressure on the losing candidate to concede to the winning candidate before election night is over. However, in recent elections this has begun to change. I already mentioned what took place in the aftermath of the 2000 election, and in 2004 John Kerry did not concede to George W Bush until the next morning.

Earlier today, I shared with my readers the amazing fact that Donald Trump would be 70 years, 7 months and 7 days old during his first full day in the White House if he wins the election. Many conservatives are fully convinced that it is Donald Trump’s destiny to be president. Personally, I do not know what is going to happen. But with a race this close, it may be the courts that end up deciding who our next president is, and that is an outcome that none of us should want to see.

He said: “The prospects for the start of a negotiation process and the return to peaceful life in Syria are postponed for an indefinite period. It is time for our Western colleagues to determine who they are fighting against: terrorists or Russia.”

Shoygu claimed Western governments were responsible for recent attacks on the war-ravaged city of Aleppo. He said: "Is this an opposition with which we can achieve agreements?" "In order to destroy terrorists in Syria it is necessary to act together, and not put a spanner in the works of partners. Because the rebels exploit that in their own interests."

This has left a fragile situation in Aleppo, which could trigger global conflict between the West and Moscow. Almost half of Russians now fear another war because of the growing tensions in Syria, according to a poll.

Eighteen people were murdered from Friday through Sunday, bringing total homicides this year to 614, according to the official police tally. The last time annual murders topped 600 was in 2003.

The murders have far outstripped the totals in some other large cities this year, with more homicides than in New York and Los Angeles combined despite Chicago’s much smaller population. Along with cities such as Baltimore and Houston, Chicago is driving a surge in the national murder rate, which is projected to rise 31.5% this year from 2014.

While both 2003 and this year were chaotic and trying for many in the Chicago neighborhoods affected, community involvement in 2003 was relatively strong, helping police solve 51% of the murders that year.

This year’s murder spree seems relatively random by contrast. With little help from the community to explain why most of these people were killed only 21% of the murders have been solved so far.

The plaintiff, Deborah Giannecchini of Modesto California was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012. The lawsuit accused Johnson & Johnson of negligent conduct in the manufacture and marketing of its product. Giannecchini’s lawyer told the Associated Press, “We are pleased the jury did the right thing. They once again reaffirmed the need for Johnson & Johnson to warn the public of the ovarian cancer risk associated with its product.”

Every institution in America is sold out, corrupted and politically rigged to favor Big Government and Big Business. "America is a lost country," explains Paul Craig Roberts. "The total corruption of every public and private institution is complete. Nothing remains but tyranny. And lies. Endless lies."

America is now essentially two nations. On one hand, we have the pro-Trump America, filled with people who are tired of being cheated, censored, punished, stolen from and lied to about everything under the sun. Donald Trump supporters are people who realize everything is rigged… and they're demanding an end to the corruption and criminality of the fascist system under which we all suffer today.

Hillary Clinton supporters are people who are too busy chasing political rainbows to realize everything is rigged. They still believe the lies and the propaganda (the "hope and change" that never came, but is still promised by empty politicians). They're living in fairy tale delusional worlds that have been woven into their gullible minds by the skilful social engineers of the radical left. These people still think the government cares about them… or that CNN only reports truthful news.

These two camps of Americans can no longer coexist. They have almost nothing in common when it comes to knowledge, wisdom, ethics, morals or philosophy.

The topic of discussion was the conflict in Ukraine. Germany and France have led international efforts to contain and solve the crisis in the past. Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier recently summed up this idea in an article for "Foreign Affairs" magazine, where he wrote: "Germans do not believe that talking at roundtables solves every problem, but neither do they think that shooting does." In other words: Germany likes to strike a balance - including when it comes to its foreign policy.

"The current German government takes on the global challenges in a much more active way than their predecessors," says Markus Kaim, senior fellow for Security Policy at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs. "Germany is now shaping foreign policy, instead of just executing it."

Kaim sees Germany's new role on the world stage developing as the result of changes on a global scale. Britain's decision to leave the European Union and the rise of the right-wing populist and anti-globalist National Front party in France left a vacuum that demanded new leadership in Europe. At the same time, the United States no longer wanted to play the role of the world police. Americans have grown war-weary.

This is why Germany has emerged as a central player on the global stage in recent years, contributing significantly to peace talks for multiple conflicts around the world, including Ukraine, Syria, Colombia, Libya, Mali, Iraq and the Balkans. "For many years German politicians preferred to serve on committees that focused on domestic issues, because they thought foreign policy wasn't sexy and that they couldn't score points with it at home," said Henning Hoff.

That mindset has changed. Foreign policy is sexy now, especially with the refugee crisis putting the war in Syria on the national agenda. Germany's global role will be a big matter of debate in the country's upcoming federal elections next autumn. It is a debate that many security experts believe is overdue and necessary to further define Germany's role on the international stage.

Adding to the country's woes is the fact that thousands of people have gone missing after travelling to the country on invitation from the country's leader. Germany took in more than 1.1 million migrants in the past year and parts of the country are crippled with a lack of infrastructure.

Now the true reality is hitting home ahead of next year's elections as the far right surges in the polls threatening to topple the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) leader Mrs Merkel. According to a report by the international policy council the Gatestone Institute, local police in many parts of the country admit that they are stretched to the limit.

The report states: "The rape of a ten-year-old girl in Leipzig, the largest city in Saxony, has drawn renewed attention to the spiralling levels of violent crime perpetrated by migrants in cities and towns across Germany."

“Please produce a copy of your sermon notes and/or transcripts,” Attorney General Samuel Olens wrote to attorneys representing Dr Eric Walsh. Dr Walsh said he will not comply with the request. “No government has the right to require a pastor to turn over his sermons,” Walsh said. “I cannot and will not give up my sermons unless I am forced to do so.”

Walsh, a Seventh-day Adventist lay minister had been hired in May 2014 by as a District Health Director with the Georgia Department of Public Health. A week later, a government official asked him to submit copies of his sermons for review. He complied and two days later he was fired.

His attorneys said the government was curious about sermons Dr Walsh delivered on health, marriage, sexuality, world religions, science and creationism. He also preached on what the Bible says regarding homosexuality. He has since filed a federal lawsuit charging state officials with engaging in religious discrimination.

“He was fired for something he said in a sermon,” attorney Jeremy Dys told me. “If the government is allowed to fire someone over what he said in his sermons, they can come after any of us for our beliefs on anything.”

Francis made the statement shortly before meeting with Israeli Deputy Minister for Regional Cooperation Ayoub Kara, whom he thanked for his work on behalf of Christians in Israel. The statement by the pontiff came just hours after UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee passed a resolution ignoring Jewish and Christian ties to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City.

The resolution, which was similar to a previous resolution passed October 13 by the body’s Executive Committee, exclusively referred to the Temple Mount by its Muslim names. While the Vatican has yet to make a formal statement on the UNESCO Jerusalem resolutions, Knesset speaker Yuli Edelstein wrote a letter to Cardinal Parolin calling them “an assault on history and is deeply offensive to both Christianity and Judaism,” and urging the Vatican to “use its best offices to prevent the recurrence of developments of this sort.”
