      Trump's new attack against Clinton uses 'short-circuited' line against her

      For weeks, the Hillary Clinton campaign has been using Donald Trumpโ€™s own words against him. The Trump campaign released a new online video mocking his Democratic rival as a malfunctioning robot after her recent assertion that she โ€œshort-circuitedโ€ during an interview about the FBIโ€™s investigation into her use of a private email server as secretary of state. While Comey testified that Clinton had been truthful to the FBI about her handling of classified information, he refused to say whether she misled the public.

      Philippine leader links 150 judges, politicians to drugs

      Duterte promptly relieved members of the military and police he named from their current posts and ordered government security personnel to be withdrawn from politicians he identified in a nationally televised speech. "All military and police who are attached to these people, I'm giving you 24 hours to report to your mother unit or I will whack you. "There is no due process in my mouth," Duterte said.

      Track star Pistorius treated for minor wrist injuries -prison service

      South African track star Oscar Pistorius, serving six years in jail for murdering his girlfriend, was treated in hospital for minor wrist injuries on Saturday before being returned to custody, a prison service spokesman said. The Paralympic gold medallist, who had his term for the Valentine's Day 2013 killing of Reeva Steenkamp increased to six years in July, denied he had tried to kill himself, the spokesman for the department of correctional services said on Sunday. South African prosecutors have said they will appeal against the six-year term, which they called "shockingly lenient".

      ANC suffers major poll defeat in S. African capital

      South Africa's ruling African National Congress suffered a historic defeat in the country's capital, where it lost to the opposition Democratic Alliance in local polls, the electoral commission said Saturday. Reacting to the worst election result for the party since the end of white-minority rule 22 years ago, President Jacob Zuma said voters had been heard. "These elections were hotly contested, that is how it should be in a democracy," said Zuma, who is facing questions about his position after the poll.

      The Latest: Wind fans forest fire in Southern California

      Firefighters are battling a wildfire in Southern California that grew to more than 2 square miles in mere hours and forced the evacuation of homes near a reservoir. The fire, which broke out Sunday afternoon in the San Bernardino National Forest, prompted the evacuation order of the sparsely populated Summit Valley area east of the dam. The fire is burning about 55 miles east of Los Angeles in a remote area near Silverwood Lake, a state recreation area, near the small mountain community of Crestline.

      The first familyโ€™s summer vacation at Marthaโ€™s Vineyard

      President Barack Obamaโ€™s seventh and final summer vacation at Marthaโ€™s Vineyard has begun with hopes of getting in some relaxing time with the first family before the busy fall leading up to Novemberโ€™s presidential election. Obama will fill the next two weeks with leisurely rounds of golf, beach outings, bike rides and hikes with his wife and daughters, and dinner with Mrs. Obama and their friends at some of the islandโ€™s top restaurants. Congress is also on an extended summer break from Washington, something the White House has chided it for as the nation deals with the Zika virus making its way to Florida. The Obamas like to keep a low profile on the island and were successful last summer, but past trips have not always been so relaxing. The president interrupted the vacation several times in 2014 to address political developments in Iraq, the beheading of American journalist James Foley by Islamic State militants, and violent protests that erupted in Ferguson, Missouri, following the fatal shooting of an unarmed, 18-year-old black man by a white police officer. National security adviser Susan Rice and deputy chief of staff Kristie Canegallo accompanied the president to help keep him up to date on events. The Obamas are staying in the town of Chilmark, located on the more remote western end of the island, but the White House did not disclose the specific home. On recent trips, they have rented a seven-bedroom, 8,100-square-foot residence featuring views of Vineyard Sound, an infinity pool and a dual tennis-basketball court. The Obamas flew aboard Air Force One to the Coast Guard station on Cape Cod, then boarded helicopters for the short hop to Marthaโ€™s Vineyard, the summer hangout for the wealthy just to the south. They were greeted by about 80 well-wishers under blustery, gray skies. The Obamas have summered every August on the famous resort island off Cape Cod since the president took office in 2009, except when he was campaigning for re-election in 2012. He and the first lady, both Harvard Law School graduates, vacationed on the island prior to moving into the White House.

      Veteran raises money to send Trump to a war zone so he can earn an actual Purple Heart

      Cameron Kerr is a decorated Army veteran who isn't too pleased with Trump's recent comments about America's veterans. After a veteran handed his Purple Heart to Trump at a rally on Tuesday, Trump came under fire for saying, "I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. Kerr decided to set up a GoFundMe page to give Trump a chance to win a Purple Heart the old-fashioned way: by going to a war zone and earning it.
