One more thing Donald Trump has broken: The GOP’s evangelical base

Liberty University President Jerry Falwell, Jr. (right) presents Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump with a sports jersey after he delivered the convocation at the university in Lynchburg, Va., last week. Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images On Wednesday evening, Donald Trump shared  the TV screen with Bill O’Reilly, who on behalf of his network pressed – unsuccessfully – the billionaire to end his feud with Fox News and attend the final Republican presidential debate in Iowa. O’Reilly reminded Trump that “in your Christian faith,” forgiveness would be the proper path. “It probably is, but it’s called ‘an eye for an eye,’ also. You could look at it that way, too,” Trump replied. Upon receipt of this news, Russell Moore threw up his hands. Digitally, anyway. “I can’t even start with this. Good night,” the Southern Baptist leader tapped out on his Twitter feed. In his quest for the White House, Donald Trump has broken many things, including laws of political grav

Political Insider blog Why the Iowa caucus matters to Georgia

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, holds a press conference. AP/Evan Vucci Wapello, Iowa – About 2,000 people live in this speck  of a town in rural southeast Iowa. And roughly one-quarter of them showed up to a plastics warehouse on a frigid Friday night to hear Texas Sen. Ted Cruz make his best pitch for the White House. Presidential candidates have crisscrossed the state for months to woo voters willing to spend hours on Monday caucusing for them. But even in Iowa, this riverside hamlet is off the beaten trail. And the voters who gathered here showed their appreciation by pledging their loyalty to Cruz and his take-no-prisoners style. “He’s got a backbone, and that’s what I love about him,” said Tammy Payne, who signed up to be a first-time caucus captain for Cruz. “The country is going down the wrong track. We’re in debt. We’re in trouble. And he can fix it.” The battle for Iowa voters has been a race to the flanks of both parties. And the decisions that Paynefo and her ne

Teenage Suicide Bomber Blows up Self, 10 Others in Adamawa

 Teenage Suicide Bomber Blows up Self, 10 Others in Adamawa Up to ten people were killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up on Friday at a busy market in a town in northern Nigeria where the jihadist Boko Haram group is waging an insurgency, residents and a Red Cross official said.Boko Haram has been waging an almost seven-year campaign in Nigeria’s remote north to build an Islamic state. Thousands have been killed and more than two million people displaced by the campaign. There was no immediate claim of responsibility but the attack bore the hallmarks of Boko Haram, which has been using suicide bombers since the army, helped by neighbors Chad and Cameroon, expelled the group from territory it had captured previously. A male suicide bomber attacked the market of Gombe in Adawama state, killing eight people and wounding 28, said a local Red Cross official. Two traders at the market put the death toll at ten, while a police spokesman said four had been killed and 17 wounde

See Why Buhari Refuses to Devalue the Naira

President Muhammadu Buhari has refuted calls for further devaluation of the Naira saying that it is one decision he is not ready to make at the moment; he explained his reason for his stand on the issue. In light of this 3 reasons President Buhari stated for refusing to devalue the naira… 1. Further devaluation of Naira would kill the currency. 2.

Dad arrested for taking daughter’s phone as punishment

When Ronald Jackson found a text he thought was rude and inappropriate on his then-12-year-old daughter’s phone in September 2013, he took the cell away. But the child’s mother, Michelle Steppe, got mad at his action and she called the police. WFAA reported that the 36-year-old, who hails from Grande Prairie, Texas, had been charged with theft of property of at least $50 but under $500 after confiscating his daughter’s iPhone 4 when he found an inappropriate text in September 2013. Shortly thereafter, Jackson recieved a citation for the “theft,” a Class C misdemeanor. Jackson was then offered a plea deal in January 2014 if he returned the phone, attained legal representation, and requested a jury trial. That’s when the city attorney’s office refiled the case with a harsher offense, a Class B misdemeanor, punishable to up to  six  months in jail and a $2,000 fine. After a warrant was placed on him, Jackson was arrested and taken into custody in April 2015, but manage

Fayose: Prosecution of Suspects in Halliburton, Siemens’ Scams, Test of Buhari’s Seriousness to Fight Corruption

Fayose: Prosecution of Suspects in Halliburton, Siemens’ Scams, Test of Buhari’s Seriousness to Fight Corruption Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has said that the Federal Government must do more than just talking about whether or not the Halliburton and Siemens corruption scandals, will be reopened, adding that President Mohammadu Buhari should disabuse the minds of Nigerians who believed that his fight against corruption was selective and political by going ahead to try those indicted in the Halliburton and Siemens scams. Governor Fayose, who commended the Federal Government for saying that the case was not dead, said it was not enough to tell Nigerians that a case like the Halliburton and Siemens, in which many people have been jailed in other countries, especially the United States and investigations concluded in Nigeria with those alleged to be involved questioned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was not dead. Rather, those already found w

Zika virus outbreak. scientists says it can spread through SEX

As the devastating Zika virus rampages through the Caribbean and Latin America – and threatens to hit parts of the US such as Florida – more and more questions are being asked about how it can be transmitted. The virus has been linked to birth defects in thousands of Brazilian babies, born with heads smaller than normal and undeveloped brains. Symptoms include a rash, fever, conjunctivitis and headache and to date, 21 countries have been affected. At the moment, there is clear scientific evidence the virus is transmitted by the same type of mosquito that spreads other tropical diseases, such as dengue fever, chikungunya and yellow fever. But there are also fears the virus may be passed on through sex, following two reports in medical literature. One states that Zika was found in the semen of a man from Tahiti, the other that the virus was passed from a husband to his wife after intercourse. But is there really a risk? In a statement issued this week, the World Hea
