Beware: Hillary Clinton loves that you love footballand the fact that Super Bowl LI is on pace to be 2017s biggest live TV event fits perfectly into her plot to exact revenge on President Trump.

Around 140 B.C., corrupt Roman politicians found a way to placate their impoverished citizens into surrendering their inalienable right to voting privileges and political representationin exchange for discounted entertainment and food. As a result, the Roman poet Juvenal coined the famous term bread and circuses.

Make no mistake: bread and circuses are making a comebackironically in the country founded upon the same upstanding principles Rome held before Rome fellthe United States of America.

Republican, Democrat or Independentit makes no differencewe have all succumbed to this ploy. A 2016 Harris poll finds that football remains Americas favorite professional sport, and continues to grow more fans in contrast to Americas second-favorite sport, baseball.

So, Americans call football their favorite sport and happilycold beer in one hand, greasy pizza slice in the othersubsidize billion-dollar NFL stadiums and multi-million dollar NFL salaries as they themselves struggle with groceries and rent. If theres one thing low-income and high-income American families commonly prioritizeits a big-screen television.

Libraries and bookstores, meanwhilewhich offer truly affordable entertainment that also happens to enrich the mind and soulare struggling. The average American Millennial reads voluntarily for less than 10 minutes per day according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Even as Pew reports that the middle class is no longer a majority in America and the majority of Millennials in socialist Canada are homeowners in contrast to only 36% of Millennials in (more-socialist?) Americathe NFLs Oakland Raiders convinced the state of Nevada to raise taxes to build and subsidize their teams brand new $1.9 billion stadium on 62 acres of prime Las Vegas real estate by 2020.

To be fair, the Raiders do plan to pay rent. A whopping $1 per year. Yep, thats one dollar every 365 days.

Yes, we just elected a populist to the White House. And President Trump has used his first days in office to keep his promises of slashing regulations and stopping federal bloat. But you and I are both guilty ofor, at the very least, vulnerable toClintons plan to slow Trumps strides. And theres no better time for us to wake up than on the day when she most hopes to lull us to sleep: Super Bowl Sunday.

Hillarys Plot to Pummel Trump

Shes no sports fan (after all, she recently said she hoped the Chicago Cubs would win the Super Bowl when they were up to win baseballs World Series). But Hillary Clinton is a fan of using sportsas did the ancient Romansto prey on the good intentions of an uninformed public.

I am too young to recall this personallybut First Lady Hillary Clinton chose January 26 of 1992Super Bowl Sundayto go on CBS 60 Minutes following the game to make her most notorious public remarks, sitting on a couch alongside her philandering husband, then-President Bill Clinton.

Im not sitting here, some little woman standing by my man Im sitting here because I love him, and I respect him, and I honor what hes been through Clinton gushed.

Bad Boy Billy had been through quite a lot indeedafter court evidence showed he sexually assaulted innocent women, most notably a White House intern young enough to be his daughter. And being a supportive wifewho happened to have her own political ambitionsHillary had Bills back.

Fast-forward to 2017. TIME reports that Hillary wasted no time in [placing] a phone call after the election to tell the notorious henchman of George SorosDavid Brockthat she would advise him to sign up some top-notch litigators who would do pro bono work against Trump. Specifically, Brock tells Time: She spoke about trying to construct a suit that would get you discovery on potential or alleged contacts between the Trump organization and the Russian government.

She didnt mean it when she said we should give Trump an open mind and a chance to lead in her concession speech.

Wheres Hillary?

Photographer Jim Lo Scalzo captured the moment when Donald J. Trump emerges from the U.S. Capitol building on Inauguration Day. Trump is caught mid-stride as he steps onto a long aisle of blue-and-red carpet to be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States.

Some pictures are worth a thousand words. In this photo, which consumes a two-page spread in TIME, you see the head of every notable politicianRepublican and Democrat alikecraned backward, watching Trump emerge. Governors and senators straincell phones in handto snap a photo of their new president. Hillary stands out in this sea like a Wheres Waldo? aberration. Her head faces forwardin the exact opposite direction. Her eyes are set on the empty podium that could have been hersand in momentswill be his.

Thirty-one million TV viewers tuned in for Trumps inauguration according to Nielsensizable to be surebut over 79 million fewer than will tune into Super Bowl LI to watch the New England Patriots battle the Atlanta Falcons.

As I wrote last week, hundreds of thousands of American women took to the streets to protest Trumpbut these same women didnt show up in droves to the polls to vote. Nor, apparently, did these women watch the presidential debates to learn what policies Trump actually embraced. None of the three presidential debate audiences (84, 69 and 71 million respectively) bested the Super Bowl.

Were not paying attention to politics because, like the Romans, were prioritizing sports above all. And thats the way Hillary likes it.

We Scorn Brady, Let Hillie Off Hook

When Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was accused of deflating footballs for a 2015 AFC title game, Americans were outraged. Brady was publicly scorned as if he were a wanton criminal who had endangered our countrys national security. He was suspended for the first four games of the NFL season.

When Clinton actually endangered our national security by using a private server to send and receive classified information over an unsecure connectionand then deleted the evidenceand lied about it, nothing happened. Literally. Because Americans by-and-large didnt know. When voters did find outa few days before the 2016 presidential electionit was several years too late.

Four Americans died in Benghazi because of Hillarys incompetenceand she was still given an opportunity to run our country for four years. What is wrong with us as a people that we will punish and slander an entertainerbut willingly underwrite the corrupt lifestyle of a politician who endangers our country by her malfeasance?

Have we gone mad?

What are Hillary Clinton's people complaining about with respect to the F.B.I. Based on the information they had she should never have been allowed to run guilty as hell Trump tweeted on January 13 in response to Clintons pouting and shouting that she lost the election because an FBI probe into her misconduct stopped her momentum.

Studies show that barely one in three Americans can name the three branches of U.S. government (executive, judicial and legislative) or has a solid grasp on how much our government truly spends on entitlement programs. Most Americans would be less hard-pressed to name the Patriots quarterback (Brady) and why hes associated with a matter called Deflategate.

Enjoy the Super Bowl. Resist the temptation, however, to be swept away by the sensational entertainment to such an extent that you become vulnerable to Hillarys plot to pummel President Trump. We cant let America fall for the same reason Rome fell: bread and circuses.

Super Bowl LI: Hillary Clinton Plots Revenge - Townhall

Pierre "Pee" Thomas, C.E.O. of Migos' label, Atlanta indie hip-hop outfit Quality Control Music, says "I had never heard a style like that ever." As former manager of Gucci Mane and Young Jeezy, Quality Control co-founder Kevin "Coach K" Lee had major credibility on the Atlanta hip-hop scene. To that end, they signed Migos to a record deal almost immediately. "It stuck out like a sore thumb," Pee says of the group's distinctive sound and incomparable rap cadence. "And you could really hear the passion in their music. When you got somebody with style, creativity and passion you can't pass that by."

The group's success has not been without its challenges. In April 2015, all three members were arrested at Georgia Southern University after police allegedly found less than an ounce of marijuana, some codeine syrup and four handguns in the group's tour vans. Quavo and Takeoff posted bail after two nights in jail, but Offset, with burglary and theft convictions on his record, spent the better part of the following eight months in jail. He missed a large portion of the recording process and release of the group's debut album, that year's Yung Rich Nation, which had middling commercial returns.

Ask him now about his time away and Offset says it helped put things in perspective. He felt immensely "blessed" to be back in the fold when recording Culture. "We ain't doing no more negative vibes," he says. "It's all positive from here on."

"We ain't doing no more negative vibes... It's all positive from here on."

There's a feeling among Migos and their management that things are only ramping up. After years of no luck convincing late-night TV music bookers of their worth, they recently played Jimmy Kimmel Live! and are gunning for more TV appearances in the weeks to come. Their fame has also gone global in a major way: late last year Migos played a raucous show in Nigeria from which a clip went viral of the crowd singing practically every word of "Bad and Boujee" back to them. "I had chills during that show," Offset says. "It just put so much energy through my body."

"It was only right we went to the mother land and paid our respects," Quavo says. "We had to get that official stamp."

Quavo says he's also hoping to parlay the success of directing the "T-Shirt" video, as well as his standout guest role on Atlanta, into more diverse creative offerings. "My vision and my creative ability is just so broad," he says. "I'm just willing to try different things. But you gotta keep it all making sense."

Migos still feel there's much to prove, though. "We established in the game but I feel like we don't got what we want yet," Quavo says. He's vague on the specifics, but in talking to him one senses he and the other members of Migos are gunning for Drake-level ubiquity: platinum records, Grammys, legendary status. For a group who often speak in sports metaphors, it's the championships they say that remain elusive. "We still ain't got them rings," Quavo says. "We gotta go get them rings and win some championships."

Coach K, having watched the long arc of a hip-hop career many times over, is more even-keeled in his assessment. Ask him about the future prospects of Migos and he says if their career is a basketball game right now the ball is most certainly in their court.

"It's only the second quarter right now," he says with a satisfied chuckle, "and we up!"

Mr Assange condemned reports that he tried to help Donald Trump win the US Presidency.

The Wikileaks founder said viewers ought to blame Hillary Clinton, not him, for what was revealed in his notorious leaks during the campaign season.

He also said that the "ball was in America's court" when asked whether he will ever leave the Ecuadorian embassy.

Mr Assange has been living inthe embassy in London for the past four years, avoiding an attempt by Sweden to extradite him over sex attack allegations.

Contrary to allegations that he was biased against Mrs Clinton's candidacy, Mr Assange told Peston on Sunday: "I did not have a position in relation to Clinton.

"Yes, we suffered under Obama and Clinton, who engaged in an epidemic against sources, prosecutingthree times as many journalists as all previous presidencies combined.

"But we merely exposed the truth behind the candidates."

Mr Assange also criticised the "partisan nature" of journalistsand said that Mr Trump was valid to call out reporters' inaccuracies.

He added: "If he is hostile to their accuracy, we understand that. He can complain about that. That's okay."

Julian Assange

He went on to reject allegations that he helpedDonald Trump and Vladimir Putin through his leaks during the campaign season.

Mr Assange said: "Let's look at the actual allegations.

"Wikileaks published the authentic words of Hillary Clinton and her campaign staff.

"We revealed what she said in secret to Goldman Sachs and the way she rigged the election against Bernie Sanders.

"We showed this. It was a matter for the American people whether they liked that or not.

"It's a matter Clinton and her campaign staff what they choose to do and what they choose to say."

Despite Mr Peston's questions, Mr Assange refused to deny that Russians fed Wikileaks the information on Mrs Clinton.

However, he also said that there was a "complete lack of understanding of Wikileaks" from the outside world.

As for his future, the Wikileaks leader confirmed the "ball was in the US court" over his pledge to leave the embassy following the decision to release whistleblower Chelsea Manning.

Mr Galloway who was an MP for the Labour and later the Respect Party, said on Twitter: Obama deported more folks than ALL US presidents put together. If you were with Obama youve no moral standing."

The former politician is one of the few people to come out in defence of Donald Trump in the wake of his immigration ban, which has leaders across the world criticise him.

In a furious rant, he also said: Bill and Hillary Clinton and Obama until LAST WEEK murdered a million Muslims. Trump imposed a travel ban. And HE is the No1 villain?

Mr Galloway also claimed that liberals supported Hillary Clinton killing Muslims because she is a women.

His tweet claiming that liberals ignored Bush and Obama killing a million Muslims and Trump revokes visas. Liberals go bananas, was liked and retweeted hundreds of times.

Defending his move, Mr Trump early on Sunday tweeted: "Our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting, NOW."

Trumps executive order has banned migrants from seven Muslim countries from coming to the US for the next 90 days.

The immigration ban has sparked a backlash with thousands of people protesting at JFK airport.

Mr Galloway has condemned people for not marching and standing up for the Libyan women when Clinton and Obama were killing them through the Rebels.

The former MP also claimed Bill Clinton killed his friend with a cruise missile.

A US judge has temporarily halted deportations of those people stranded at US airports in a dramatic update last night.

Mr Galloway has not always backed the new president. Recently he slated Trumps inauguration speech saying the billionaire murdered the English language.

A random collection of Americans surveyed by Gallup selected Hillary Clinton as the most admired woman in the country at the end of 2015. The choice made sense. Clinton was the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, traversing battleground states to shore up voters and delegates and sell the exact kinds of qualities that would make someone among Americans most respected people. That this was the 20th time that Clinton topped the listsince 1993is a testament to the role she has played in the modern fabric of American politics. (Only Eleanor Roosevelt, with 13 years atop the list, and Margaret Thatcher, who bested the rest six times, come close to Clintons Gallup reign.)

To be sure, there are a good many Americans who do not feel such affection for Clinton. As First Lady for eight years, she forgave her husband, Bill, for cheating with an intern, covering up the affair, and being impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice. After the Clintons left the White House for New York, she voted in favor of the Iraq wara decision that has since raised questions about her hawkish judgement. She lost her 2008 bid for the White House, which some assumed shed win handily, to a first-term community organizer turned senator from Chicago. And when that newcomer took office as the 44th president and named her secretary of state, she hosted her work e-mails on a private server and took responsibility for a 2012 security breach in Benghazi that led to the death of four Americans.

But the Wellesley- and Yale-educated lawyer, champion for womens rights, advocate for children, and well-regarded glass-ceiling smasher finally seems as though she is headed back to the Oval Office, on her own terms. After a drawn-out primary process with Vermont senator Bernie Sanders, Clinton appears to have locked up enough super-delegates to win the nomination.
