Trump Gets $100 Million From Russia

The Trump administration is under investigation for alleged ties to Russia, and now it seems as if his son Eric Trump may have revealed where the funding for his father's enterprise comes from: Russia. During an interview with reporter James Dodson, it was revealed via the reporter that the Trump enterprise's funds are based out of Russia. 

Dodson described his time spent with Donald Trump and his son on their National Charlotte clubhouse, saying Donald was "strutting up and down talking to his new members about how they were part of the greatest club in North Carolina." When Dodson asked Trump "What are you using to pay for these courses?" he responded with $100 million.

From there, Dodson got into a golf cart with Eric Trump and asked "Eric, who's funding? I know no banks--- because of the recession, the Great Recession--- have touched a golf course. You know, no one's funding any kind of golf construction. It's dead in the water the last four or five years.

" Eric Trump responded by saying "Well we don't rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia." He also went on to say "We've got some guys that really, really love golf, and they're really invested in our programs. We just go there all the time."

Donald Trump To Fight Marijuana Laws

The president issued a 'signing statement' Friday, signaling that he may ignore a congressional ban on interfering with state medical marijuana laws. It does not apply to recreational marijuana, which was legalized in eight states in direct violation of federal law. Sean Spicer suggested Thursday that the Trump administration will enforce federal marijuana laws in states where recreational pot is legal.

Trump Administration's position on weed has forced Democrats to stick up for state's rights, and Republicans to call for greater federal interference. Jesse Ventura says it is completely wrong, unethical and unconstitutional for Trump to reverse state law on marijuana. The White House said Thursday it expects law enforcement agents to enforce federal marijuana laws when they come into conflict with states

George Clinton Talks Donald Trump

CNN caught up with funk legend George Clinton during a recent show at BB King Blues Club in New York City, and picked his brain about everything from his legacy with Parliament and Funkadelic, to his take on Donald Trump's presidency.

The 75-year-old "godfather of funk" recalled the impact P-Funk made on the world but was sure to avoid pivoting from a time capsule, as he spoke in the present, saying, "We're here. We ain't going nowhere. We are a movement," in spite of the group's half a century long history in the music business. It is an assertion that Parliament fans can expound upon, beyond the fact that the band continues to perform in its present incarnation. True fans of hip-hop would concur, in having heard samples from Clinton's past woven into some of the genre's most prolific songs, whether they knew what they were listening to at the moment or not.

It is in bringing the party together, regardless of culture or creed that Clinton's music is often cited for, and he touched on how they bore the intention to convey that message with the classic "One Nation," saying, "That's the holy grail of the funk. It's ... our anthem and that binding force." And it is Clinton's absolute faith that the music actually facilitates unity, that prompts him to direct anyone searching for answers right back to the funk, as was the case when the CNN reporter inquired about whether he had any thoughts on Donald Trump's first 100 days in office.

"Ain't no funk in the Trump," said Clinton. "You can't be that against everything and everybody and be funky -- that's hard to do. He needs to go to a good funk concert a few times. He'd probably change his mind about a lot of things. I'm going to send him a copy of 'One Nation Under a Groove' -- maybe that'll help."

Obama Care Saved, Trump Care Pulled

Donald Trump's American Health Care Act bill was pulled before it was able to be voted on after it was blatantly clear that they wouldn't have support to pass the bill.

Trump blamed the Democrats after the decision was made to pull the bill, and he said in a press conference that he's going to sit back and watch Obamacare fail. The president added that he's confident the Democrats will come to him as he predicts Obamacare is" imploding and soon will explode, and it's not going to be pretty."

Donald Trump’s Lawyer Snaps On Snoop Dogg

Snoop Dogg is receiving some backlash for his controversial video, in which he shoots a Donald Trump look-alike.

Snoop Dogg’s video for “Lavender” featuring Kaytranadaha, been drawing the wrath of a variety Republicans, since it was released on March 12.

Snoop’s “Lavender” video features the rapper caught in a world of evil clowns, which features President Trump as the main protagonist.

Towards the end, Snoop grabs a fake gun and shoots the POTUS, who also smokes some bud in the video.

Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen took aim at Snoop Dogg over the clip, while expressing disappointment in the rap star.

“It’s totally disgraceful, Snoop owes the president and apology. There’s absolutely nothing funny about an assassination attempt on the President,” President Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen said.

Snoop and Trump were somewhat friendly in past years, before Trump launched his campaign and captured the White House last year.

Snoop infamously roasted the billionaire real estate mogul/reality show star for Comedy Central March of 2011, however, it looks like their friendship has certainly cooled off.

“This motherf##ker (Trump) tried to put up; him winning the presidency; police being able to kill motherf##kers and get away with it; people being in jail for weed for 20, 30 years and motherf**kers that’s not black on the streets making money off of it – but if you got color or ethnicity connected to your name, you’ve been wrongfully accused or locked up for it, and then you watching people not of color position themselves to get millions and billions off of it,” Snoop Dogg told Billboard.

Michael Cohen said there was a double standard, had anybody and had any popular musician put out such a video about President Obama, the condemnation would have come much faster.

“I would not have accepted it if it were President Obama I certainly do not accept it as President Trump,” Cohen said.

Cohen told Snoop he needed to take some notes from NFL legend Jim Brown, who decided to work closely with Trump instead of opposing the administration.

Michael Cohen joins a growing number of Trump supporters, like Senator Marco Rubio, an admitted hip-hop fan who condemned Snoop’s “Lavender” video.

Some hip-hop artists came out and supported Snoop’s video, like veterans Treach and Ice T, who had his own problems with the government over his “Cop Killer” track with Body Count in 1991.

However, Trump’s lawyer did not see the point of the video.

“I’m not really sure I understand the artistic value having someone dressed up as Trump and firing a weapon at him,” Michael Cohen stated.

According to reports, the Secret Service is looking into the “Lavender” video.

A Dozen Arrested Protesting Trump

A crowd of over 1,000 amassed outside of New York's Trump International Hotel and Tower to show their resistance of the President's administration on Wednesday, March 8. They were organized in solidarity with demonstrations that took place in more than 50 countries, as the world celebrated International Women's Day. Here in the U.S., many of the thousands who congregated in cities across the nation did so under a general strike promoted as a "Day Without a Woman."

School districts in such cities as Virginia and North Carolina were forced to shut down due to the limited staffing the exodus of workers caused. And while the numbers for Wednesday's events didn't come close to the droves who took to the streets the day after Trump's inauguration, the message was as loud and militant as it has been from some vowing to keep women's rights a priority of the administration, and others calling for an ouster of the Commander In Chief. "Hey, hey, ho, ho, Donald Trump has got to go!" echoed from the scores of women packing Columbus Circle. Outside of Trump Tower alone, 13 women were arrested, including the march's co-founder Linda Sarsour, for reportedly refusing to clear the street.

Later on in the evening, over 2,000 people were estimated to have come together downtown in Washington Square Park. A projector shined the phrase "Women's Strike!" onto the arch raising over the park's entrance. Participants held up signs and took in the messages of speakers blaring from a megaphone.

Despite the hostility espoused against him, the President would take to Twitter to honor the occasion, writing, “tremendous respect for women and the many roles they serve that are vital to the fabric of our society and our economy.” Former President Barack Obama also shared words of solidarity, releasing a statement that read: "On International Women’s Day, @MichelleObama and I are inspired by all of you who embrace your power to drive change."

George W Bush Talks Donald Trump

Former President George W. Bush said the media is an essential component of American democracy. The former president made an appearance on the Today Show, discussing the role of the media in the context of the Trump presidency.

"I consider the media to be indispensable to democracy," Bush said, "We need an independent media to hold people like me to account. Power can be very addictive, and it can corrosive, and it's important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power."

The comments from Bush come a few days after the White House barred a series of news outlets, like CNN, the NY Times, and the LA Times, from a press briefing.

Muhammad Ali's Son Detained

It has come to light that the son of late boxing great Muhammad Ali was impacted by the "extreme vetting" process of President Donald Trump's executive order earlier this month. Muhammad Ali Jr., 44, was detained at Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on February 7.

Upon return from a trip to Jamaica with his mother, Ali Jr. was stopped and held for questioning focused on his religion, for what amounted to hours, he claims. Meanwhile, Khalilha Ali, who was married to the champ from 1967 to 1976, and birthed his oldest boy, was let go after she simply showed a photo of her together with Muhammad. The whole purpose of Ali Jr.'s travels was to be by his mother's side, in support of a speech on black history she was booked to deliver on the island.

"This is an outrage," family lawyer Chris Mancini told the Miami New Times. He says that they have considered filing a lawsuit against the government for profiling and discrimination. "I don't know what is going on with Mr. Trump's claim that his ban is not religion-based. We do not discriminate in this country based on religion," said Mancini.

It should be noted that Muhammad Ali Jr. is a U.S. citizen. He was in possession of a passport when he was taken into custody. Muslim citizens have been coming forward in increasing numbers to detail how they've been profiled by the President's executive action, which he defends is meant to keep foreign terrorists off of U.S. soil.

Earlier this week, Muslim passengers on a cross-country flight from San Francisco to New York City reported having been required to show I.D. upon arrival at their destination. President Trump and official spokespeople for the Trump administration have continuously denied that the executive order focuses on religion.

Denzel Washington Talks Trump And Race Relations

Denzel Washington speaks before a screening of his new film "Fences" in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday evening. The fake news story mentioned in the video was widely shared on social media. It claimed that Mr. Washington endorsed Donald Trump for president.

Denzel Washington says there's too much cynicism in the world — particularly in politics. Denzel Washington on Race Relations: 'You Can't Legislate Love'. Denzel Washington says it is time for the mainstream media to stop selling fake stories.

China Warns Of War With US

China has not declared war on the US, but makes it known that the want the new discovered Island and America better back off. Rex Tillerson, the former CEO of ExxonMobil, was sworn in as the Secretary of State Wednesday. Chosen by President Donald Trump, Tillerson has already angered China after he suggested a more aggressive strategy toward Beijing in the contested waters of the South China Sea. Since 2014, China has turned sandbars into islands, equipping them with airfields, ports and weapons systems and warned US warships and aircraft to stay away from them. During his confirmation hearing, Tillerson suggested that China should be denied access to those islands that they built.

Unless Washington plans to wage a large-scale war in the South China Sea, any other approaches to prevent Chinese access to the islands will be foolish." "Tillerson had better bone up on nuclear power strategies if he wants to force a big nuclear power to withdraw from its own territories," the unbylined opinion piece said on the paper's English-language site. "If Trump's diplomatic team shapes future Sino-US ties as it is doing now, the two sides had better prepare for a military clash."

It sounds to me that Americans are a little nervous when it comes to China and war. China own much of America because of the recession, so if they blow it up, to them it a be their own lost.

Is Trump A Dictator?

Magic Johnson gave his two cents on Donald Trump's controversial travel ban, on Sunday night [Jan. 29], saying that it is "not who we are as Americans." He also directed some sharp words at the President, with a warning that he remember he is legislating over democracy.

"It’s just not a good time. He’s gotta learn you can’t just be a dictator. We’ve never had a president like that. We’ve always had a president who brought the country together and brought all people together. That’s what we need today, right now, and we’re not getting that," Johnson told a TMZ reporter while exiting the W Hotel in Los Angeles.

The Trump Administration has moved quickly to deliver on the promises he made to his base over the course of his campaign. The executive order, which denies all refugees entry into the U.S. for a four month period, blocks citizens from seven Middle Eastern and African countries for the next 90-days and instills a ban on refugees from Syria indefinitely, which comes days after he signed an order to begin construction on a Mexican border wall. Johnson touched on each of those decisions, while also raising the plight of African-Americans and women.

The World's First Trillionaire

Bill Gates could be the world's first paper trillionaire by the year 2042. Oxfam is a collective of international organizations working to end global poverty, and have been monitoring the world's richest people. Gate's wealth has continued to grow exponentially since he founded the global company Microsoft.

When he retired as CEO in 2006, his net worth has $50 billion. In the decade since, his net worth has increased dramatically to $75 billion, "despite his commendable attempts to give it away through his Foundation," according to the foundation.

This, in wake of a report by Oxfam claiming that the world's 8 wealthiest billionaires have as much money as the 3.6 billion people who make up the world's poorest demographics.
