Trump claims Obama has no faith in Biden, tried to stop him from running and even used to say 'if you wanted to see something really screwed up, give it to Joe'

Donald Trump has tweeted that Joe Biden was not trusted by Barack Obama, claiming that Obama used to say: 'if you wanted to see something really screwed up, give it to Joe Biden to do.'  Trump, who has reportedly been angered by Obama's recent appearances on the campaign trail, tweeted on Friday night that the former president was in truth skeptical about Biden's candidacy.

America boards up: Cities across the nation prepare for widespread looting and riots ahead of Election Day - as some states ready their National Guard

Cities across the nation are boarding up in preparation for widespread violence on and after Election Day, as many states prepare the National Guard for activation and specialized units of military police Guardsmen ready for rapid deployment. On Friday, boards went up over storefronts in Washington DC, New York City, Los Angeles, Denver and elsewhere in anticipation of potential political violence that would be unprecedented in modern American history.  Experts fear the unrest could be widespread regardless of whether Republican Donald Trump or Democrat Joe Biden emerges victorious -- and warn that riots could begin even if the results are not clear on November 3, a likely scenario given the surge in mail-in voting this cycle.  Security officials are preparing for a range of possible threats, from spontaneous acts of mob violence to more organized, planned attacks.  Washington DC: Ahead of the presidential election, workers with Baguer Construction LLC board up a Walgreens on U Street

Stripper claims Phil Collins' ex-wife Orianne Cevey 'hired him for sex from an escort agency while she was living with the rocker and introduced him to star as "her friend"

Phil Collins' ex wife Orianne Cevey allegedly engaged in a 14-month affair with stripper Preston Thompson, 29, and introduced him to the Genesis frontman moments before he took to the stage.  Thompson claims he was 'introduced to Phil as just her friend' when he attended the singer's Not Dead Yet tour date in Las Vegas in October 2019. 'I was introduced to Phil. We shook hands and it was awkward. I had a feeling maybe he knew,' Thompson said. 'I asked her about it and she said, 'I didn't want to cause any problems backstage, he's about to go on for a show. I told him you're my friend but he knows about us'. Shortly after the bizarre encounter, Cevey asked Thompson to live with him at the palatial Miami home she shared with the Easy Lover singer, asking him to visit when he was out of town.

'Don't believe the polls': Michael Moore says Trump vote is 'always undercounted' and warns Democrats are being 'overconfident'

Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore is warning people not to be overconfident with Joe Biden's lead in the polls because President Trump voters are 'always being undercounted.' In 2016, left-wing Moore predicted that Trump would win the election, and back in August, warned he could win reelection because Trump's supporters were so enthusiastic.  On Thursday, Moore told Hill.TV's Rising hosts that Democrats and Biden supporters shouldn't take polls showing the former Vice President's lead in various states without a grain of salt.  Michael Moore warned that Trump voters are always being undercounted and that Biden supporters shouldn't rest easy because poll results show him in the lead 'Don’t believe these polls, first of all,' Moore said.  'Second of all, the Trump vote is always being undercounted. Pollsters, when they actually call a real Trump voter, the Trump voter’s very suspicious of the "Deep State" calling them and asking th

Rishi Sunak's 'Eat Out to Help Out' was to blame for one in SIX coronavirus outbreaks and may have accelerated second Covid-19 wave, study claims

Eat Out to Help Out played a 'significant' role in accelerating Britain's second wave of coronavirus, a study has claimed. There was a sharp increase in clusters of Covid-19 infections a week after the Government scheme began, according to University of Warwick researchers.  They believe the initiative, which gave diners up to 50 per cent off meals out, was to blame for as many as 17 per cent of new infection clusters between August and early September - one in every six. The experts looked back at trends in infection rates before, during and after the scheme to work out how it affected the numbers of people testing positive. But experts questioned the findings of the study and said outbreaks it picked up could not be definitively linked to restaurants or eating out, pointing out that it also took into account cases in areas where outbreaks were declining.  Although people had to socially distance in restaurants where the deal was offered, the virus is known to spread more
