Donald Trump Jr.—Getting The "Dirt" On Clinton
IB Times

During the 2016 campaign, Trump Jr. continuously denied connections with Russia, except for when they, "built condominiums and sold a couple of apartments to some Russians in New York." Trump Jr. and Russia's connection today highly indicate that there was more than just some real estate action going on...

This week's news has been buzzing with information regarding Donald Trump Jr.'s association with Russia, and his June 2016 meeting. Trump Jr. met with Russian lawyer last year in order to receive "damaging information" regarding his father's opponent: Hillary Clinton.

Hard to believe these families were once friends, right?

Trump Jr. recently explained that a member of the Russian government contacted one of his father's former Russian business partners to give him some interesting words ("dirt" as the media is calling it) on Clinton.

The documents were said to give Trump the advantage, and the Russians continued in the email to Trump Jr. with, “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”

Trump Jr. responded right away, seemingly excited, saying that he would "love it."

It's quite a dirty game being played in the political world right now, but is it legal? The federal campaign finance says: "knowingly solicit, accept, or receive from a foreign national any contribution or donation ... or other thing of value." Is this said "dirt" about Hillary valuable? Oh, the subjectivity.

Stay tuned to your favorite news channel! Or don't...Either way, you will be sure to hear about the Russian's dirt as soon as more emails are sent to Trump Jr.

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
