Donald trump doesnt seem to be suffering in the polls following his proposed ban on muslims enter the u. S. A new South Carolina poll shows him with a 20point lead over cben carson. That fox poll was conducted both before and a trumps controversial proposal in tv appearances yesterday, he said the ban is about safety, not religion. And on cnn last night, he defended himself against claims of bigotry. I am the least racist person that you have ever met. I am the least racist person. Last night, trump told bill oreilly his proposed ban on muslims would not impact relations with arab nations and he claimed that the u. S. Doesnt need help from those countries to defeat jihadists. Trump was a finalist for Time Magazines person of the german chancellor Angela Merkel. The magazine praised the 61yearold merkel for her leadership on everything from how europe is dealing with tens of thousands of refugees to chinas debt crisis. She is the first woman to receive the honor in nearly 30 years. A, i kind of like that water color painting of her. I dont like it. Would they have done that if it was a guy . Why not aeautiful picture of her. I know its kind of artsy. I know an artist who uses a similar style. I quite like the texture. I know what you mean by not flattering, but i it makes it looks like shes dough she doesnt. What i have found, weve mentioned on the show many times is her poll numbers have completely tanked over the past couple months in germany because of her a lot of people within her right wing party have turned their backs on. Her whole mantra has been dont crisis, we cant turn our backs on these folks. Talk about having political backbone to do something you know is not popular but trudge forward. I think thats why she got the cover. Thats what its about. Thats why shes an impressive politician when you do something that is unpopular that goes against the grain that will probably damage your poll numbers but you do anyway is and i appoint of principle, thats a terrific thing. Weve got a twitter question. I was thinking i have a twitter handle. Youll know this if youve been watching this week. My twitter handle is richard p bacon. Love to hear from you. Heres our question.

President rivlin lit a menorah made in israel during the 1920s. Then he wished christians around the world a merry christmas. This is a big deal. Its really funny thing that a lot of israeli politicians even though they kind of tangled with the obama administration, everybody wants to get to the Hanukkah Party even if they dont agree with his policies. They want an invite to the Hanukkah Party at the white house. Thats beautiful, isnt it . We all know that march madness is a few moments away. For those basketball fans neing an early fix, it doesnt get better than this. It happened in a High School Hoops game in minnesota. These kids were down by two.

And she had to choose a new skill for the talent competition when they wouldnt let her shoot a bow. Its a bear hunt in alaska that has her in hot water. The star of the outdoor show limitless with teresa veil faces charges for accidentally killing a bear and allegedly trying to cover it up. During a legal hunt, sheep had permission to kill one bear and tried to make it appear the second bear kill was legal. Its very important they operate well within the boundaries can of the law. If they operate outside of the law it undermines the purpose of having a professional guide organization in the state of alaska. Charged. If i could do it over again, i would do it differently. There was no personal gain to myself or my business. The only gain was hopefully teresa wouldnt lose her career. The Outdoor Channel says the hunt in question never aired and that they are committed to ethical hunting. Veil says she followed poor advice and allowed the second bear to be improperly tagged adding she reported the incident and has fully cooperated with authorities. I am deeply sorry for my mistakes.

So there is the original. You can see that in that clip there, the Little Mermaid has red hair. However, in the real life action version, chloe grace more tez playing the Little Mermaid has an blonde hair and will have blonde hair in the film. It has caused a degree of outrage. This is i an person on twitter who says i will not be watching the new Little Mermaid movie. Ariel is a redhead, not a blonde. However, i would say this to understand your anger, Hans Christian anderson, the author of the original story never in the book specified the color of the hair of the Little Mermaid. Its too late because television has intervened and shes a redhead. Shes not a blonde. Shes a redhead. Disney intervened. Disney. Theres one funny story which is particularly interesting. A chap has bought the wutang clan, they made one alm. By one album, i mean they printed one copy of this album they made. And the guy who bought it is a chap who managed to inflate the price of a lifesaving drug. He invested it and paid a lot of money off the back of it. So the guy whos got this precious album is a guy lots of people dont like. Now the only way you can hear that album is if you befriend that man that no one likes and goes around in other words, its a track and youll never your two blue eyes are shining dolce and gabbana.
