Trump, Russia, and Comey Firing - What Does This Mean for US-Russian Relations?
Our Dishonest President
Still, nothing prepared us for the magnitude of this train wreck. Like millions of other Americans, we clung to a slim hope that the new president would turn out to be all noise and bluster, or that the people around him in the White House would act as a check on his worst instincts, or that he would be sobered and transformed by the awesome responsibilities of office.
Instead, seventy-some days in — and with about 1,400 to go before his term is completed — it is increasingly clear that those hopes were misplaced. » | The Times Editorial Board | Sunday, April 2, 2017

Copenhagen Imam Accused of Calling for Killing of Jews
Mundhir Abdallah was reported to police after being filmed citing in Arabic a hadith - a teaching of the Prophet Muhammad - considered anti-Semitic.
The hadith says the Day of Judgement "will not come unless the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them". A Jewish community leader said his words were a "thinly-veiled" threat.
Videos of the sermon were posted on YouTube and Facebook by the Al-Faruq Mosque on Sunday, although Mr Abdallah reportedly gave it on 31 March. » | Thursday, May 11, 2017

Sean Spicer Future as White House Press Secretary 'In Doubt over Handling of James Comey Firing'
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer is said to be facing an uncertain future after his poor handling of Donald Trump’s decision to fire FBI director James Comey.
Mr Spicer, whose press appearances have been plagued by multiple gaffes, has been temporarily dropped from running his daily press briefings and will be replaced by Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders for the entirety of this week.
According to White House insiders, the general perception is Mr Spicer has been “benched” during a massively decisive week which has seen the White House subject to heavy scrutiny over the sacking of Mr Comey. » | Maya Oppenheim | Thursday, May 11, 2017
