President Joe Biden dismissed his predecessor as a 'f**king a**hole' upon seeing the 'toys' he left behind when Biden first moved into the White House in January 2021, according to new Trump book 'Peril' released on Tuesday. When he first moved in to the presidential home Biden found that 'Trump's existence permeated the White House,' authors Bob Woodward and Robert Costa write. That included a number of gadgets former President Trump acquired and abandoned when he left office, like a giant screen that displayed virtual golf courses where Trump would practice his game. 'One night, Biden wandered into a room where a huge video screen covered the wall. To relax, Trump used to upload programs to virtually play the world's most famous golf courses,' the book states. '"What a f**king a**hole," Biden once said as he surveyed the former president's toys.' 'Peril' documents the final tumultuous months of the Trump presidency and goes into the Biden administration's takeover …

Ames, Iowa Ohio Gov. John Kasich tweeted out an anti-Trump video created by his campaign just minutes before he spoke at Iowa State University. And while he did not mention GOP front runner Donald Trump by name during the speech, Kasich did reference Trump's attacks on a number of groups and individuals, questioning Trump's ability to be a leader. "I don't think anyone wants that," Kasich said. After the event, reporters asked Kasich why he decided to put campaign money into the new Trump attack video, and his aide quickly responded that there was "no money" behind the ad because it had been produced in-house. Kasich did not address the resources that went into creating the video, but he did describe his contempt for Trump's divisive language when asked about the catalyst for creating the video.

"soon" following a report that he called former President Donald Trump "a fading brand."

Climate change, more than many other issues, lays bare a stark divide between the two parties: Democrats warn of the grave threat posed by global warming, stressing the need to reduce carbon emissions to prevent a catastrophe. Republicans, including most of the GOP's 2016 presidential candidates, either don't acknowledge climate change is happening, or they question whether it's caused by human activity. As far as President Obama is concerned, the matter is settled: climate change is real, it's caused largely by humans, and anyone who says otherwise is living in a dangerous state of denial. "On this issue - of all issues - there is such a thing as being too late," Mr. Obama said Monday during a speech at an Arctic climate summit in Alaska. "And that moment is almost upon us." Failure to act, he added, would "condemn our children to a planet beyond their capacity to repair." On Tuesday, the president will visit one of the state's shrinking glaciers and visit communities in …

DUBAI, July 30 (Reuters) - A Briton and a Romanian were killed when an Israeli-managed petroleum product tanker came under attack on Thursday off the coast of Oman, the company said on Friday, in an incident that Israel's foreign minister blamed on Iran and said deserved a harsh response. There were varying explanations for what happened to the Mercer Street, a Liberian-flagged, Japanese-owned ship, with Israeli-owned Zodiac Maritime describing the incident as "suspected piracy" and a source at the Oman Maritime Security Center as an accident that occurred outside Omani territorial waters. Iran and Israel have traded accusations of attacking each other's vessels in recent months and Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said he had told Britain's foreign secretary of the need for a tough response to the incident in which two crew members, one British and the other Romanian, were killed. "Iran is not just an Israeli problem, but an exporter of terrorism, destruction and instability …

Mr Biden did not counter the assertion from his predecessor Barack Obama’s that Britain would be at the “back of the queue” for a post-Brexit free trade agreement.

To slow the spread of COVID-19, the United States Canada and Mexico agreed in March to close their shared borders to nonessential travel. Nine months later, it's Christmas. Families across the world are disconnected, but perhaps none more than those trapped on opposite sides of an international border. Some legally can’t cross, and others can’t afford to endure quarantines if they do. Yet, the holiday spirit survives. Along both borders AP photographers found families connecting in smaller, more intimate ways, overcoming unusual obstacles for shared celebrations. At the U.S.-Mexico border, most years bring festive Las Posadas celebrations; the centuries-old tradition practiced in Mexico reenacts through song Mary and Joseph’s search for refuge in Bethlehem. Not this year. In addition to virus-related restrictions, people face another barrier: President Donald Trump’s border wall that stretches hundreds of miles and is still under construction. A little …
