Mr Adams said that he had been invited to the event and was "pleased to accept".

"When I arrived the staff at the White House informed me there was an issue of 'security'," he said.

"After two decades of travelling back and forth to the USA and countless meetings in the White House with successive US Presidents, this is an unacceptable development.

"It is obvious that there remain some within the US administration who seek to treat Sinn Féin differently."

Mr Adams added that Sinn Féin representatives had been denied entry or had to go through extra searches when travelling to the USA, while the State Department had also initially refused to meet him last year until "protest from US political leaders".

'Resolution'

"Sinn Féin will not sit at the back of the bus for anyone," he said.

"I am hopeful that the controversy around my White House invitation will help lead to a resolution to all these matters."

Mr Adams told the BBC that Sinn Féin representatives often face enhanced security checks but they normally do not "broadcast" it.

He said what had happened was "bad manners and not a good way to treat guests".

He said he had not been embarrassed by the incident, adding: "I just deal with this in a non-personal way."

Sinn Féin deputy leader Mary Lou McDonald said it was "ludicrous" for Mr Adams to be stopped at the White House for unspecified security reasons. BBC

Clinton's weak showing among blue-collar voters will cause huge recriminations at her campaign headquarters in Brooklyn - and renew questions about whether she'd be a weak candidate in the November general election. Indeed, Clinton gave a brief statement about Tuesday's results but the cable TV networks didn't carry any of it. The networks were instead mesmerized by a 40-minute Trump monologue from one of his Florida resorts.Will Bunch Philly.com

"Si te acusado formalmente, va a abandonar?" le preguntó. "Oh, por el amor," ella empezó cuando Ramos la presionó sobre el tema después de que inicialmente bailaba a su alrededor. "No va a pasar. Ni siquiera voy a contestar esa pregunta."

Bobby Jindal to leave Louisiana’s next governor with budget mess.”Year after year, Louisiana didn’t have enough money to cover its expenses, yet Gov. Bobby Jindal refused to roll back income tax cuts or ever-increasing corporate tax breaks. Instead, he raided reserve funds and sold off state property.Just in case this wasn’t quite brutal enough, note that when Jindal became governor seven years ago, he inherited a healthy, $900 million budget surplus from his predecessor, Democratic Gov. Kathleen Blanco.In other words, Jindal, in Bush-like fashion, quickly transformed a good situation into a bad one by imposing a failed conservative economic agenda, leaving a big mess for his successor to clean up.Rod Dreher The American Conservative

Southern University and A&M College, a historically black institution along the Mississippi River, mold spreads across building walls, and rats scurry through dormitories. Eighteen buildings have roof leaks; in two, raw sewage occasionally belches onto the floor. An entire section of the library is off limits because of a perpetually broken fire alarm.WP
