ABC NewsWikiLeaks has canceled an announcement its founder, Julian Assange, was to make from the balcony of London's Ecuadorian Embassy on Tuesday, but not before Donald Trump supporter Roger Stone tweeted Hillary Clinton would "be done" by the next day because of the planned announcement. The hacking group already this summer hit the Democratic Party just days before its national convention with a trove of released emails that appeared to show favoritism for Clinton over her rival for the Democratic nomination, Bernie Sanders, reports The Hill. Those emails led to the sudden resignation of former Democratic National Committee Chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on the day the convention opened. Since
NewsmaxWhen I was 18, my stepfather’s brother had been on dialysis for just over a year. He was thin, he exercised regularly and he seemingly was in perfect health, but inexplicably his kidneys began to fail him. Although I was just about to leave for college, I’d heard enough about the misery of dialysis to decide to get tested as a possible donor. In the back of my mind, I knew that the chances of our compatibility were incredibly low because we were not related by blood. Perhaps that made it easy for me to decide to get tested. When we received the results, I was stunned to find out that he and I were a match. The transplant team gave me plenty of opportunities to back out of the donation, and it
Washington PostSouthern California residents should remain on heightened alert until Tuesday for the increased possibility of a major earthquake, officials said. The warning by the Governor's Office of Emergency Services follows a series of small temblors deep under the Salton Sea, which is located on the 800-mile-long San Andreas fault, the Orange County Register reported Saturday (http://bit.ly/2deTAxO). Such warnings are typically issued once or twice a year, said Kelly Huston, the deputy director of crisis communications for the Governor's Office of Emergency Services. The latest alert was issued after 142 temblors hit starting Monday near Bombay Beach at the southern end of the fault. Those quakes ranged
ABC NewsAnd while billions of dollars are being spent on Western weapons-systems and an ongoing conflict in Yemen, Saudi Arabia's role as a regional powerhouse is itself evolving. With Americans no longer directly dependent on Saudi oil, the political narrative has shifted, with Congress overriding a presidential veto to pass a bill that would allow victims and their families to sue the Kingdom for the alleged financial support of the 9/11 hijackers. Millions of dollars spent on lobbying and repeated trips to Riyadh by Secretary of State John Kerry and others have done little to stop the rapid deterioration of a decades-old relationship built on mutual trust, defense and oil. A lot has changed since Henry Kissinger's historic meeting as US Secretary of State with His Majesty King Faisal when the Kingdom famously turned off the taps in 1973 - then it was the Saudis who held the cards, prompting the King's famous response that his ancestors came from the desert and could return there.

People(c) 2016 Time Inc. Ryder Cup 2016: Sunday Recap From Hazeltine Jeff Ritter and Gary Van Sickle recap the 2016 Ryder Cup from Hazeltine. CHASKA, Minn. -- If Patrick Reed goes on to win 10 majors, 100 tournaments and a Nobel Prize in physics, none of those achievements are likely to be as indelible as the scintillating performance he staged on an idyllic Sunday at this 41st Ryder Cup. McIlroy, meanwhile, had racked up three points, on the back of three convincing victories with the ascendant Belgian, Thomas Pieters-in front of an off-putting number of vitriolic fans.

What was the most dangerous nuclear disaster in world history? Most people would say the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine, but they’d be wrong. In 2011, an earthquake, believed to be an aftershock of the 2010 earthquake in Chile, created a tsunami that caused a meltdown at the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima, Japan. Three nuclear reactors melted down and what happened next was the largest release of radiation into the water in the history of the world. Over the next three months, radioactive chemicals, some in even greater quantities than Chernobyl, leaked into the Pacific Ocean. However, the numbers may actually be much higher as Japanese official estimates have been proven by several
peakoil.comDonald Trump's presidential campaign has not yet responded to a cease-and-desist letter from the city of Phoenix regarding the alleged unauthorized use of city police officers in an ad that began airing recently, according to city officials.
