Hillary Clinton Sat Near Poop at ‘Some Like It Hot’ Broadway – Vulture

Ive heard of dancing in the aisles, but poop-your-pantsing in the aisles? This seems to be a recurring problem at performances of Broadways Some Like It Hot. Page Six reports multiple alleged instances of someone making shit sherbet at the Shubert, and no one has a clear story about what, exactly, is going on. On March 14, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton attended a performance of the musical, and, a source tells Page Six, the lights came up for intermission and there were two human turds in the aisle just near the famous political duo. Out of context, this sounds darn near intentional, like a disturbed protester planted the dookie as a political attack. But an eyewitness spoke to the house manager, who said that it was actually the fourth time it had happened. A source close to the show gave yet another account suggesting that this was a one-off medical accident: It was an elderly person and its rather sad, but yes, the house staff worked quickly to help resolve the situation and Act II started as scheduled.

Nobodys perfect!

Buttigieg to Visit Clinton National Airport – Arkansas Business Online

We were unable to send the article.

U.S. Transportation Secretary PeteButtigiegis scheduled visit Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock on Wednesday as part of a four-state tour highlighting federally-funded safety improvements at airports.

The two-day trip includes stops in Charlotte, Oklahoma City and Dallas-Fort Worth.

Under President Joe Biden's administration, Clinton National Airport has received millions in federal grants, including an $8 million award announced last month that will support construction of a new 70,000-SF utility plant.

In 2021, the airport received $4.9 million tobe invested inrunways, taxiways and safety and sustainability projects.

America has the world's safest and most complex aviation system because of our rigorous standards and the dedicated aviation workforce that ensures millions of people get to their destinations safely every day. But we can never take our safety record for granted as recent close calls have made clear, Buttigieg said in a statement. I look forward to seeing first-hand some of the innovative ways airports are layering in new safety measures, and hearing from the people putting them into action at our nations airports.

The stop in Little Rock is part of Biden's "Investing in America" tour, which will bring the president and other administration officials to more than 20 states in the coming weeks to showcasenew roads and bridges, electric vehicle manufacturing facilities and other projects funded through his economic initiatives.

Britain raises domestic threat level for Northern Ireland to ‘severe’ – Reuters UK

LONDON, March 28 (Reuters) - Britain's MI5 intelligence agency has increased the threat level in Northern Ireland from domestic terrorism to "severe" - meaning an attack is highly likely.

The move to return the level to its second highest category follows recent attacks on police offices and comes weeks before political leaders are due to gather in the province to celebrate the 25th anniversary of a peace deal that largely ended three decades of violence.

U.S. President Joe Biden said this month that he had accepted an invitation to visit Northern Ireland in April, and both Bill and Hillary Clinton are due to attend anniversary-related events.

"The public should remain vigilant, but not be alarmed, and continue to report any concerns they have," Chris Heaton-Harris, the British minister for the province, said in a written statement.

The British government said the level had been increased from "substantial" following the recent targeting of police officers, and it was not thought to be linked to the anniversary.

The threat for Northern Ireland had been held at severe since the system was introduced in 2010. It was lowered, for just over a year, in 2022.

Chief Constable Simon Byrne of the Police Service of Northern Ireland said his officers would not be deterred from "delivering a visible, accessible and responsive community focused policing service to keep people safe".

While a 1998 peace deal largely ended three decades of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland, police officers are still sporadically targeted by small splinter groups of mostly nationalist militants opposed to Britain's rule over the region.

An off-duty officer was left seriously injured last month following a gun attack that police said was carried out by the new IRA, a much smaller group than the Irish Republican Army, which disarmed following the Good Friday accord.

Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell was shot a number of times by two gunmen while putting footballs in his car after finishing a coaching session with a youth soccer team.

Some 3,600 people died during the fighting between Irish nationalist militants seeking union with the rest of Ireland, and the British army and pro-British unionist militants wanting to stay in the United Kingdom.

Leaders are due to gather in Belfast in April to celebrate the signing of that peace deal, which was struck on April 10, 1998, and partially brokered by the U.S. government of then-President Bill Clinton.

Fox host tries to downplay Trumps efforts to have his political opponents jailed: Lock her up was a joke! – Yahoo News

Jesse Watters says Donald Trump never indicted his rival and former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton (GETTY )

Fox News host Jesse Watters tried to downplay Donald Trumps calls to imprison his political opponents as he faces a potential indictment from the Manhattan District Attorneys office through a grand jury.

Watters, whom Mr Trump has on occasion broadcast at his rallies, said the former president never indicted former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, despite frequent chants to lock her up.

Lock her up was a joke, he said. Trump never indicted crooked. But theyre going after him hard. They never cared what Trump was arrested for. They just wanted him behind bars.

Watters said Democrats such as District Attorney Alvin Bragg were not prosecuting Mr Trump for a crime but because of who he is.

Democrats arrest the Republican frontrunner and then bait you into reacting and then arrest you if you do, he said. They disenfranchise you and then call you a domestic extremist.

Throughout much of the 2016 campaign, Mr Trump and his Republican acolytes called for Ms Clinton to be imprisoned for using a private email server to conduct official business as US Secretary of State.

I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation, he said to Ms Clinton in the second general election debate in 2016. Because there has never been so many lies, so much deception. There has never been anything like it.

Ms Clinton for her part brushed off the remarks.

Its just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country, she said.

Because you would be in jail, he said.

Similarly, in 2020, he called on his then-attorney general William Barr to indict multiple people.

DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, THE BIGGEST OF ALL POLITICAL SCANDALS (IN HISTORY)!!! BIDEN, OBAMA AND CROOKED HILLARY LED THIS TREASONOUS PLOT!!! BIDEN SHOULDNT BE ALLOWED TO RUN - GOT CAUGHT!!! he had tweeted.

Hijabi judges sworn in on NJ Superior Court – NorthJersey.com

Nadia Kahf, a hijab-wearing attorney from Wayne, drew a standing-room crowd at the Passaic County Courthouse last Tuesday, as she was sworn in as Superior Court judge in the state, in an event that sparked international headlines describing her as trailblazer.

That barrier was broken again the very next day when Dalya Youssef, a family law attorney who also wears the Islamic headscarf, was sworn into the Superior Court bench in Somerset County.

For Muslim women, who have long faced harmful stereotypes about their religion and their role in it, having two women who outwardly show their faith in such prominent positions is deeply meaningful.

It brings a lot of pride and a lot of inspiration to my heart knowing they can practice their faith openly without compromise and continue to serve our community in such an honorable way, said Rana Sabagh, a social services manager at a Paterson mosque, calling it a proud and historic moment.

Kahf and Youssef were not the first Muslim women to become state judges. Sharifa Salaam and Kalimah Ahmad serve as Superior Court judges in Essex and Hudson counties, respectively. Three men also are state judges, Sohail Mohammed in Passaic County, Rahat Babar in Mercer County, and Hany Mawla in the Appellate Division.

But the images of Kahf, donning a hijab, swearing her oath on the Quran and getting a standing ovation, struck a chord with the public and were widely shared on social media. She was sworn in front of her children, parents and husband and a crowd of supporters so large some were in overflow rooms. For her oath, she used a vintage Quran that had been handwritten by her great-grandmother in the 1880s.

Headlines captured her accomplishment on news sites in Morocco, India and Turkey. "Nadia Kahf becomes New Jersey's first hijabi judge," wrote Sinar Daily, a news site in Malaysia.

NJ: Hillary Clinton speaks at Montclair State, says women 'have to earn it every day'

Im very proud to represent the Muslim and Arab communities of New Jersey and United States, Kahf said at the swearing-in ceremony. I want the younger generation to see that they can practice their religion without fear. That they can be who they are. Diversity is our strength. It is not our weakness.

Youssef was sworn in the next day at the Somerset County courthouse, while a larger, official swearing-in ceremony is being planned in her honor in several weeks.

Neither responded to requests for comment.

The elevation of these women to the New Jersey Superior Court comes as some women have faced prejudice and measures to restrict use of the hijab in France and India.

Those stereotypes are rooted in falsehoods, said Dalia Fahmy, a professor of political science at Long Island University. In the U.S., Muslim women are the second most highly educated religious minority group, said Fahmy. In the past two elections, nearly 200 Muslim women ran for office, with many winning their elections, Fahmy added. In New Jersey, the first two Muslims to serve in the state Legislature, Shama Haider and Sadaf Jaffer, are female.

Muslim women throughout history have achieved the highest levels of occupation and power, Fahy said. Thats not reflected in what we see in popular culture and popular media.

In New Jersey, the communities that Kahf and Youssef call home have known these two women as leaders, long before they became judges.

Kahf, a family law and immigration attorney in Haledon, has served as chair of the New Jersey chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim civil rights organization. She is also chairwoman of the Islamic Center of Passaic County, one of the largest mosques in the state.

Kahf, who came to the U.S. from Syria at age 2, also served as legal adviser to Wafa House, a nonprofit domestic violence and social services agency based in Clifton.

Youssef was a founding member and past president of the New Jersey Muslim Lawyers Association. As supervising attorney at Central Jersey Legal Services, a non-profit law firm, she provided legal assistance to low-income individuals.

Youssef is also a member of Supreme Court Committee on Women in the Courts and the New Jersey State Bar Associations Diversity and Pro Bono Committees. She is also on the board of the Rutgers Center for Race, Rights and Security.
