Christoper Steele refuses to speak to US special prosecutor John Durham. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The former British spy who produced a dossier describing alleged links between Donald Trump and Russia will not cooperate with a prosecutor assigned by U.S. Attorney General William Barr to review how the investigations of Trump and his 2016 election campaign began, a source with knowledge of the situation said
Comey op-ed: 'There was no treason. There was no attempted coup ... dumb lies.' In an op-ed in the Washington Post on Tuesday, former FBI Director James Comey lambasted the President Trump's claim that he and his agency committed "treason" during the Russia investigation, noting that although it was tempting to ignore the president, he was acting as a "liar who doesn’t care what damage he does to vital institutions.
Hillary Clinton was 'ecstatic' when Trump fired Comey, new book says. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has opposed virtually everything President Trump has done since he took office, but she apparently cheered at his firing of FBI Director James Comey according to a new book. In the volume, "We’ve Got People: From Jesse Jackson to AOC, the End of Big Money and the Rise of a Movement," author Ryan Grim, the Washington bureau chief of The Intercept, interviewed people in Clinton's inner circle, including former spokesman Brian Fallon. Grim said Clinton was "ecstatic" when news of the Comey move broke.

Kanye West To David Letterman: “Liberals Bully People Who Are Trump Supporters.” Kanye West refused to back down in his support of President Donald Trump in an appearance on David Letterman’s new Netflix series. West, a guest Letterman’s My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, claimed liberals bully Trump supporters. “This is like my thing with Trump — we don’t have to feel the same way, but we have the right to feel what we feel,” West said. His decision to wear a “Make American Great Again” hat is a way to show people they shouldn’t be afraid to express opinions, West said, adding that it’s “not about politics.” Letterman challenged West on allegations of voter suppression during mid-term elections. “So if I see a person that I admire talking about Donald Trump can think whatever he does,” Letterman said, “I wonder if those thoughts, indirectly, aren’t hurting people who are already being hurt.”

TOPIC: The Wave of Tornadoes - Why? Is It Climate Change? AND TRUMP ADMIN HAS PLANS FOR CLIMATE CHANGE
Roy Spencer: Why so many tornadoes this year? It's not what AOC, Bernie Sanders (or maybe even you) think. By Roy Spencer | Fox News Progressive politicians like Al Gore, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D.N.Y., don’t hesitate to blame any kind of severe weather – even if it is decreasing over time – on global warming. With the devastating Dayton, Ohio tornadoes fresh on our minds, it is useful to examine exactly why (modest) global warming has produced fewer – not more – of such events. The simple answer is that tornado formation requires unusually cool air.

President Donald Trump and his administration are planning an attack on the science upon which climate change policy rests. President Donald Trump and his administration are planning an attack on the science upon which climate change policy rests, it was revealed on Tuesday. (Daily Mail) President Donald Trump and his administration are planning an attack on the science upon which climate change policy rests, it was revealed on Tuesday. Leading the charge will be the administration's new climate review panel led by a 79-year-old Princeton physicist who has become famous for defending the use of carbon dioxide - even comparing its demonization to the treatment of Jews under German dictator Adolf Hitler. 'The demonization of carbon dioxide is just like the demonization of the poor Jews under Hitler,' said William Happer, who serves on the National Security Council as the president's deputy assistant for emerging technologies, to The New York Times. Happer is backed by National Security Adviser John Bolton, who brought him on board and supports the new climate panel. The two men are also backed by Robert and Rebekah Mercer, the ultra-conservative billionaire and his daughter who have funded efforts to debunk climate science. But some administration officials - such as economic adviser Larry Kudlow - have advised the president not to follow Happer's recommendations as it would be seen as an attack on science.
8am – E Parents with college students making this dangerous mistake, financial expert says. (Fox Business) - It’s graduation season again. As college students graduate, they walk across the stage to pick up their diplomas and then walk right back home to mom and dad’s house. More than one third of young adults between ages 18 and 34 lived at home in 2015, up from 26 percent in 2005, according to census data. Many parents don’t charge rent to their returning progeny, but some financial experts say they should pay their share of the real estate. Financial expert and author of ‘Everyday Millionaires’ Chris Hogan believes this is an opportunity to help young people to really step into adulthood. They need guidance and steps that are necessary. “If they are gonna come back home before college or starting their career, parents need to have an open ended, realistic conversation. Set boundaries. Start to talk about the conversation. How long are they gonna live there? What are they gonna be responsible for paying while they’re there? The most dangerous thing I’ve seen is letting young adults come home without any kind financial expectation," Hogan told FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo on Tuesday. Young adults often take a lot of flak for moving back home after college, and are called lazy and entitled for living with their parents. But that’s not always the case. Some millennials use the opportunity, thanks to their parents’ generosity, to find a job, get situated and save money for their futures. As a result, when they do buy homes, they’re skipping the starter home buying and saving for a big home in the suburbs as they look for a larger home.
