    South Korea's likely next president asks the US to respect its democracy
    SEONGNAM, South Korea — South Korea is on the brink of electing a liberal president with distinctly different ideas than the Trump administration on how to deal with North Korea — potentially complicating efforts to punish Kim Jong Un’s regime.   He is also a candidate who fears that the U.S. government has been acting to box him in on a controversial American missile defense system and circumvent South Korea’s democratic process.  “I don’t believe the U.S. has the intention [to influence our ..

  • A Guide To Ivanka Trump's Manual For 'Women Who Work'

    A Guide To Ivanka Trump's Manual For 'Women Who Work'

Rat..

No, Trump vs. Clinton rages on, and this battle royale hasn't lost one bit of its bitterness or rancor. In her most extensive remarks since the election, Clinton blamed herself, that October letter from FBI Director James Comey and interference from Russia for her loss. She also said she believes misogyny played a role. She gleefully slammed President Trump, who -- predictably -- slammed her right..
