I just heard that trump is using WE ARE THE WORLD at a rally. Is this True?

Some nationalist. A globalist of convenience. I wouldn't put it past him.

Alaska Governor Bill Walker suspends campaign, endorses Democrat

Alaska Gov. Bill Walker suspended his re-election campaign Friday, and endorsed Democrat Mark Begich. Walker, a former Republican turned independent, made his announcement at the beginning of a candidate forum, according to the Anchorage Daily News. He then posted a statement on Instagram saying he was suspending his campaign.

Walker's lieutenant governor and running mate, Byron Mallott, resigned from his position and the campaign earlier this week, because he made unspecified inappropriate comments to a woman.

Late GOP activist who sought Clinton E mails had ties to Flynn

A veteran Republican activist who attempted to find Hillary Clinton's emails stolen by hackers had ties with Gen. Michael Flynn, a relationship that may have played a direct role in his quest, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.

Sources told the Journal that Peter Smith had a professional relationship with Flynn as early as 2015, when the two had a meeting just after Flynn left his position at the top of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

In an email the Journal reviewed, a former associate of Smith's, Joe Szobocsan, wrote to a friend last week, "As you are aware Peter started a business relationship with Gen. Mike Flynn in November 2015. We spoke with him on the day he left for his trip to Moscow."

As he tried to chase down Clinton's emails, Smith came in contact with a number of hackers, including two groups Smith said were Russians.

Smith died in what authorities ruled to be a suicide shortly after speaking with the Journal regarding his search. His death came weeks after he told friends he thought he had found the emails, sources told the paper.
