Germany’s weekly news magazine Der Spiegel has defended a highly controversial front cover on their latest issue, illustrating US President Donald Trump beheading the Statue of Liberty. The editor-in-chief of Der Spiegel, one of Europe’s largest weekly magazines, has also called on Germany “to build an alliance” against President Trump.

Nearly four decades ago, political pundits were shocked as voters turned away President Jimmy Carter and voted in Ronald Reagan, who promised to bring fundamental change to Washington and the indwelling political establishment. At the time, unemployment was rising quickly and inflation raged in double-digits, and Reagan had promised to deal with the economic failures by cutting income tax rates, slashing government spending, and reducing the regulatory burden.

So today I'm going to leap all over the place and show you some some interesting things that've come across my desk in the last week. Why no full fledged blog?
President Trump has placed Vice President Mike Pence in charge of an official government investigation into claims that widespread voter fraud took place during the 2016 US presidential election. Pence will head a special commission to investigate claims that Clinton won the popular vote due to voter fraud across the United States. Presstv.ir reports: “I’m going to set up a commission to be headed by Vice President Mike Pence and we’re going to look at it very, very carefully,” Trump told Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly in an interview on Sunday afternoon.
The Kremlin expects an apology from Fox News after their host Bill O’Reilly called the Russian President “a killer.” O’Reilly called President Vladimir Putin a killer while questioning Donald Trump’s intention to work more closely with Russia. During the interview the US President defended the Russian president and reasserted his willingness to work with him. ‘You think our country is so innocent?’ – Trump asked O’Reilly, adding “We’ve got a lot of killers.” RT reports: “We consider the words of the Fox News host unacceptable and insulting,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.
