Far left artists took turns trolling President Trump while reading highlights from Michael Wolff's discredited "Fire and Fury" novel on the Trump White House.
Hillary Clinton is the last person to read from the book in the segment.
Critics of Trump have already begun to express displeasure with his actions in the days leading up to the speech, leading some to wonder whether this opposition is substantive, or rooted in a distaste of Trump as a person.
Wanting to find out, Campus Reform headed to New York University to ask students their opinions of President Trump's State of the Union. The only problem for them was that the speech would not take place for another seven days...
Comment: Just goes to show how out of touch these people are with reality - they even make up answers to something they haven't yet seen as if they had. All you need is a few leading questions with a dash of ignorance and suddenly you know it all. Then again, not surprising.

Stone commended the Consortium News' founder for breaking from the "tyranny of mainstream media conformity" and his breaking of the Iran-Contra scandal.
Stone then pointed to the fact that the Washington Post's publisher Katharine Graham, who is the subject of The Post, "deliberately ignored" that story.
"Note how she's now being lionized in Spielberg's lame-brained The Post," he said of the character played by Meryl Streep.

"In five years' time, over half the world, I promise you, will be using cryptocurrency," the legendary security software pioneer told RT correspondent Miguel Francis-Santiago during the Asia blockchain cruise hosted by CoinsBank. "And the half that does not is going to be the half that probably does't have smartphones or any access to the internet," McAfee added.
The blockchain conference in Phuket, Thailand, boasted more than 1,000 participants from 50 different countries - including more than one hundred Russian ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings), which hoped to attract cryptocurrency investments to raise fast cash for their start-up companies.

William Rayford, 64, is facing lethal injection Tuesday evening for beating, stabbing and strangling 44-year-old Carol Lynn Thomas Hall. Her body was found about 300 feet inside a drainage pipe behind her home in South Dallas, Texas. Hall's 11-year-old son was also attacked but survived. He testified against Rayford.
Rayford had been convicted of murder in 1986 for fatally stabbing his estranged wife Gail in front of their four children. She had obtained a court order four days earlier to prevent him approaching her. He was sentenced to 23 years in prison for this killing, but was released on parole after eight years under a Texas law which authorized the release of some prisoners to ease overcrowding in jails.

To the other weary inmates in mustard-yellow "D.O.C." jumpsuits, what loomed ahead was just another prison: same bars and barbed wire, same bland food, same thin mattresses. But Cintron was about to be with his father, his namesake - the role model he had followed into the drug world, into court on murder charges, and then into prison, their twin life sentences imposed eight years apart.
It had been 20 years since he had last seen the man everyone said he took after. "Lil Lolo," his father's friends from Philadelphia's Fairhill section would call him. Now, he was about to come face to face with Jorge Cintron Sr., Lolo himself.
"I hadn't hugged my father in so many years, or heard his voice," Cintron Jr. said. "It was bittersweet, because we're both in prison and having to see each other in here."
Since that day in 2011, Cintron Jr., 38, has lived on the same cell block as his father, who is 58. Recently, the cell next door to his dad's became available, so he moved in. Each evening, by 9 p.m., they lock themselves into cells 86 and 87 of A Block for the night.
Comment: Stanton Samenow, author of 'Inside the Criminal Mind', maintains that while genetics and the social environment may have some impact, by and large they are not adequate predictors of criminal behavior. He says it is not the environment from which people come but how the individual chooses to deal with whatever life hands them. He notes that many offenders who come from impoverished backgrounds also have siblings who lived in the same home and endured the same problems, yet made different choices as to how they dealt with their situations.
The same is true of parenting - concluding that a criminal is the product of bad parents ignores the reality that children make choices from an early age and distracts from understanding the mind of the perpetrator.

The lawsuit, filed Monday, accuses East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff Sid Gautreaux, prison warden Dennis Grimes, and a corrections officer by the name of Deputy Daniels of violating the teen's constitutional rights.
The suit states that the teen met the criteria of being a "high risk sexual victim" under the federal Prison Rape Elimination Act and should have remained segregated from the jail's general population. He was 5'10" and 125 pounds at the time of the incident and "mildly physical handicapped due to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome suffered as a child."
Instead, the suit says the 17-year-old was transferred away from the jail's juvenile wing and into the cell of a man who is awaiting trial on charges that he raped a woman in 2015. He is also charged with battery and burglary, local CBS affiliate WAFB reported.
'Are they onto us yet?'
'Just stay cool. They're blaming the Russians for us.'
Daily training, physical stress, constant injuries, strict diet and special regimes inevitably lead to permanent diseases. For example, biathletes, skiers and swimmers often have problems with the respiratory system. Figure-skaters, gymnasts and cyclists have their own weak spot: the spine. Runners, football and tennis players suffer from knee and elbow injuries.
The career of a professional athlete is not long. By the age of thirty many of them have to stop competing for medical reasons. It is also worth mentioning that athletes receive numerous injuries during the training process and at competitions. After that a long recovery period is required in order to prepare the body again for new achievements. Thus, today, elite sport is difficult to imagine without strong drugs that help athletes to cope with their diseases and injuries. Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs) have appeared under this pretext.

The US Treasury Department has extended the list of Russian individuals and companies subject to sanctions imposed on Moscow over the Ukraine crisis. The list includes those allegedly involved in delivering Siemens turbines to Crimea. The peninsula in the Black Sea has been under international sanctions after breaking away from Ukraine and joining Russia in 2014.
Among the companies accused of working in Crimea is Power Machines, which has been cooperating with Siemens on the production of turbines, as well as the Technopromexport engineering company (part of the Rostec State Corporation), which is building two power plants in Crimea.

Gov. Bill Walker's administration projects 240,000 people to be enrolled in the Medicaid health-care program next year, up from 163,000 in 2015. And 101,000 Alaskans were receiving food stamps in September, up from 72,000 a year earlier, according to preliminary federal data.
The federal government covers most of the cost of Alaska's food stamp program.
But Medicaid - supported by both the state and federal governments - is one of the biggest line-items in Alaska's budget, at about $700 million. And some conservative lawmakers say they're worried about the growth in enrollment.
In total, the program covers nearly one-third of the state's population.
"It's going to eat us alive if we don't manage it," said Soldotna Republican Sen. Peter Micciche, who oversees the state health department's budget for the Senate.
