      Trump discovers the media canโ€™t take a joke when it comes to Obama and ISIS

      Ratings challenged @CNN reports so seriously that I call President Obama (and Clinton) โ€œthe founderโ€ of ISIS, & MVP. The business mogul first used the line at a rally on Wednesday, saying Obama and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton were โ€œco-foundersโ€ of ISIS and that Obama deserved the โ€œmost valuable player awardโ€ for letting the terrorist group gain traction.

      U.S. declares a public health emergency in Puerto Rico over Zika

      By Julie Steenhuysen CHICAGO (Reuters) - The Obama administration on Friday declared a public health emergency in Puerto Rico due to the rapid and widespread transmission of the Zika virus, saying it poses a "significant threat" to the health of pregnant women who may be infected and their children. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services last declared a public health emergency in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, which slammed into the New Jersey shore and flooded parts of New York City in 2012. The action gives the government access to additional funding to fight Zika as congressional efforts to allocate money remain stalled.

      Day 7 of Rio Olympics: Death, doping and disrespect

      The United States women's soccer team was eliminated by Sweden in a penalty shootout in the quarterfinals Friday, a startling loss for the four-time Olympic champions. The U.S. goalkeeper criticized the Swedes for the way they played in beating the Americans 4-3 in a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw โ€” a result that means the world's top-ranked team will miss out on an Olympic gold-medal match in women's soccer for the first time. Said Sweden coach Pia Sundhage: "It's OK to be a coward if you win." Sundhage once coached Solo when the Swede was in charge of the U.S. national team.

      Venezuela and Colombia reopen border crossings without incident

      San Antonio del Tรกchira (Venezuela) (AFP) - Venezuela and Colombia on Saturday opened several "provisional" border crossing points for pedestrians for the first time in nearly a year as part of a progressive reopening agreed this week, AFP journalists confirmed. During three temporary border openings last month, some 150,000 Venezuelans -- suffering from their country's severe economic crisis -- poured into Colombia to purchase food, medicine and other basics. Both governments agreed to facilitate "the fastest possible movement of people, rapidly but in a controlled fashion," Venezuelan regional military chief Jose Morantes Torres said.
