Both side in "Trump kiss" case claim video proves their point

Screen shot of Trump with accuser Alva Johnson

President Trump's lawyers reportedly have posted a video that they say proves Trump is innocent of "forced kiss" allegations made by a former campaign worker.

However, according to CNN, the accuser, Alva Johnson, reportedly says the video proves her side of the story.

Rattlesnakes, whiskey and... uranium.

This odd story comes from Guthrie, Oklahoma, courtesy of KFOR television news and Newsweek: "COUPLE ARRESTED FOR DRIVING STOLEN CAR FILLED WITH URANIUM, A RATTLESNAKE AND WHISKEY: 'THERE'S QUITE A FEW UNANSWERED QUESTIONS'"

The following is an excerpt from the report:

...Stephen Jennings was driving with Rachel Rivera in the passenger's seat of a stolen Ford vehicle when they were stopped by officers at around 11 a.m. on June 25. Officers found there was another passenger in the car—a timber rattlesnake.

Bodycam footage shows one officer spotting the serpent in a storage box on the back seat and exclaiming: "That sucker is huge," KFor reported...

...A search of the vehicle also unearthed a canister of radioactive powdered uranium.

With classic understatement, Guthrie Police Sgt. Anthony Gibbs said, "There's quite a few unanswered questions. So now he's got a rattlesnake, a stolen vehicle, firearm, and somebody under arrest," he said.

Vets approve of Trump's handling of Russia and N. Korea

Most veterans approve of President Trump's dealings with Russia.

That's according to a poll by Pew Research Center taken shortly after the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into allegations of Trump-Russia collusion.

A majority of veterans also approve of the way Trump is handling North Korea and U.S. allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

Vast majority want citizenship question on census: unscientific poll

I've closed out the current SharylAttkisson.com poll early in light of President Trump's new executive order initiating a count of noncitizen through federal documents and databases rather than the U.S. census.

The results of our unscientific poll, which earlier posed the census citizenship question, are overwhelming: 98% of respondents said that the question belongs on the census. The full results are below.

Pew research: Most Europeans disapprove of their leaders' handling of refugees

Most Europeans favor taking in refugees from war-torn and poverty-stricken countries like Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq.

That's according to a poll by Pew Research Global.

The poll, conducted in Spring of 2018, also found that most Europeans disapprove of how the European Union is handling the issue of refugees.

A flood of refugees into Europe, mostly from Muslim-majority countries, began in 2015. It ignited a culture clash and political upheaval in Europe that's still being felt across the European Union today.

That will be the subject of upcoming investigations on Full Measure, my Sunday news program. We start Season 5 in the fall.

Top UK diplomat disparages Trump, Trump punches back, diplomat resigns

Britain's ambassador to the U.S has stepped down after leaked documents showed him disparaging President Trump.

In the documents, ambassador Kim Darroch called the Trump administration’s Iran policy “incoherent" and speculated the president might be serving the interests of “dodgy Russians.”

On Monday July 8, after the documents were published in a British newspaper, President Trump tweeted that his administration would no longer deal with Darroch.

I do not know the Ambassador, but he is not liked or well thought of within the US. We will no longer deal with him.

President Trump tweet, July 8

As a result, Darroch submitted his resignation.

The current situation is making it impossible for me to carry out my role as I would like.

British Prime Minister Theresa May, who is on her way out of office, praised Darroch and criticized the leak. Left-wing political figures also criticized conservative British politician Boris Johnson for not standing up for Darroch. Johnson is in the running to be next Prime Minister of Great Britain.

The fact that Sir Kim has been bullied out of his job, because of Donald Trump’s tantrums and Boris Johnson’s pathetic lick-spittle response, is something that shames our country.

Darroch was scheduled to retire at the end of 2019.

Botched restoration leaves 16th century statue looking like cartoon character

A 2018 restoration attempt left the 16th-century Statue of St. George looking like a cartoon character and in need of "unrestoration." 

The historic, 500-year-old sculpture of St. George is kept at St. Michael’s Church in the northern Spanish province of Navarra. It's attracted a lot of attention for the "botched" restoration attempted on it. The results were so bad that an "unrestoration" project was commissioned at a cost of about $34,000.

The following is an excerpt from Smithsonian Magazine about the project.

When a botched restoration attempt of a 500-year-old sculpture of St. George in northern Spain went viral last summer, commentators couldn't resist weighing in: The well-meaning paint job, many pointed out, made the wooden statue look more like Tintin than a legendary dragon slayer.

Thanks to a roughly $34,000 USD “unrestoration” project, the statue—housed at St. Michael’s Church in the northern Spanish province of Navarra—has resumed a semblance of its original, 16th-century appearance. As Palko Karasz reports for The New York Times, experts from the local government’s culture department stripped the sculpture of its showy paint layers, assessed damage inflicted by the use of materials and processes “completely incompatible with the restoration of works of art,” and largely restored the walnut wood saint to his pre-2018 state.

But while Carlos Martínez Álava, head of the historic heritage department, tells the Guardian’s Sam Jones that the statue “has the same colors [seen] before last year’s extremely unfortunate intervention,” the fact remains, he says, that “we’ve lost part of the original paint along the way.”

The bits of paint that were lost have been filled in and from a distance it all looks the same. But when you get up close, you can see very clear what’s original and what’s not.
