"I witnessed her obscenity-laced tirades, her shifting of blame, how she berated Vince Foster until he could stand no more, how minor incidents involving blue gloves and botched invitations sent her into a tizzy.Forget about Benghazi, the Nixonian duplicity and the 30,000 missing emails... Hillary Clinton is an unrepentant puppy-strangling sociopath.
It was like watching Humphrey Bogart in The Caine Mutiny obsessing about a quart of missing strawberries – and losing sight of the world war raging about him.
Byrne says he was “shocked” when President Clinton arrived for work at 9am sporting a shiner. Byrne writes, “this was a shiner, a real, live, put-a-steak-on-it black eye.” When he asked the office staff about it the president’s scheduler claimed it was a coffee allergy.
Will firsthand evidence that Hillary Clinton is an angry, even violent, person add to her existing credibility problem or will the media ignore this as old news?
Hillary Clinton wore a Giorgio Armani jacket worth more than $12,000 during a speech in April about inequality.Is anybody really surprised?
Hundreds of families have fled their homes amid fears a cocktail of deadly chemicals had been spewed into the atmosphere after two huge explosions rocked the Chinese port city of Tianjin. At least 50 people have died and 700 injured after the blasts erupted at a warehouse for hazardous materials, leaving an apocalyptic landscape of incinerated cars, crumpled shipping containers and burnt-out buildings.Sure, Justin... being a dictatorship does have its advantages.
It is believed the warehouse contained at least 700 tonnes of sodium cyanide, a toxic chemical that can kill rapidly if inhaled, as well as other highly flammable and dangerous materials.
As chemical experts were sent to assess the scene, officials fuelled panic by refusing to say what was being stored or offering any explanation for the cause of the disaster.

The witness added, “Dang if that kid didn’t start running right at the cop like a football player. Head down.”This was right after Brown had struggled to get hold of Officer Wilson's gun...
The witness told of hearing “3 bangs,” but “the big kid wouldn’t stop.”
During his September 16 grand jury testimony, Wilson recounted how he tussled with Brown when the teenager grabbed for his gun while lunging into the squad car. As they fought over the weapon, Wilson testified, the teenager taunted him, yelling, “You’re too much of a pussy to shoot me.”Famous last words.

What is more likely, then, is that one day next spring, the Israeli national-security adviser, Uzi Arad, and the Israeli defense minister, Ehud Barak, will simultaneously telephone their counterparts at the White House and the Pentagon, to inform them that their prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has just ordered roughly one hundred F-15Es, F-16Is, F-16Cs, and other aircraft of the Israeli air force to fly east toward Iran.Think Osirak.

After conducting tests, the military has decided to use the thumb-sized "bhut jolokia," or "ghost chili," to make tear gas-like hand grenades to immobilize suspects, defense officials said Tuesday.And, no... it's no joke...
It has more than 1,000,000 Scoville units, the scientific measurement of a chili's spiciness. Classic Tabasco sauce ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville units, while jalapeno peppers measure anywhere from 2,500 to 8,000.Smokin'.
