Donald Trump gave an interview Thursday that aired on a television station funded by the Kremlin, arguing that the Russian government was "probably" not meddling in the American presidential race. Speaking to Larry King on RT America, which is an arm of government-funded news outlet Russia Today, Trump said it would "not be appropriate" if Russian forces were looking to influence the race, which is suspected by some investigators and has been fanned by Hillary Clinton's campaign as recently as Thursday morning.
Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson will visit Purdue University next week for a speaking engagement that's free and open to the public. The former New Mexico governor will take part in a discussion next Tuesday sponsored by the student group Purdue Young Americans for Liberty.
It is deeply weird to me that political media spent the better of the morning seriously weighing whether this marginal candidate had done meaningful damage to his marginal campaign by spacing on the name of a city in a country whose civil war most Americans aren't paying attention to. And there's no better expression of that weirdness than the clip below, in which Mark Halperin breathlessly badgers Johnson about it in vintage "what about your gaffes?!" fashion.
Hillary Clinton blasted Donald Trump Thursday for his condemnation of American military generals and his praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying her Republican opponent had "failed" at proving he can be commander in chief.

Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson framed an embarrassing lapse on foreign affairs as simple human error on Thursday after he responded to a question about a flashpoint in the Syrian civil war by asking, "What is Aleppo?" The gaffe came during an MSNBC interview about the continuing battle for Syria's biggest city, Aleppo, which has been divided for years into government and rebel sectors and has been in the news daily in recent weeks. The embarrassing exchange followed a forum on Wednesday night in which Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and Republican rival Donald Trump sought to showcase their national security and defense credentials.
The Dallas Morning News became part of the story yesterday when they announced that they would endorse a Democrat for President for the first time in 75 years. Their editorial is a fairly obvious recitation of the reasons that Donald Trump is manifestly unfit to serve as President, but the fact that the DMN editorial board saw fit to actually endorse Hillary Clinton, as opposed to merely endorsing Gary Johnson or some other third party candidate, is evidence that a growing number of conservatives find themselves obligated to choose actual sides in the Trump v.
It would be easy to believe there are only two people running for president considering the media gives the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson absolutely zero coverage. Please do yourself (and the United States) a favor and send a real message to the Republicans, the Democrats and the media.
The next few months are the months radio is expected to see its biggest surge in political ad spending.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at the American Legion Convention in Cincinnati, Ohio, September 1, 2016. A CNN poll published Tuesday gave Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump a two-point lead over his Democrat rival Hillary Clinton, although most voters still think Clinton will win the race to the White House.
"In poll after poll, Trump isn't even close to winning a majority of the vote. While he's narrowed the gap between his campaign and Hillary Clinton in recent weeks, in the past 21 national polls conducted using conventional phone or internet methodologies over the last five weeks, Trump's high-water mark in a head-to-head matchup with Clinton is 44 percent."
A new CNN/ORC poll finds Donald Trump has moved ahead of Hillary Clinton in the presidential race, 45% to 43%, with Gary Johnson at 7% among and Jill Stein at 2%. Key findings: "The new poll finds the two major party candidates provoke large gaps by gender, age, race, education and partisanship.
Unpopular among many Americans, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have opened the door for a third-party spoiler in the presidential campaign - and just as Gary Johnson is starting to warm up. "I certainly don't want Trump to get in, but Clinton worries me," said Moreno, a registered Democrat who works as a process server in the Phoenix area.
If Gary Johnson polls 4% of the vote in every state on November 8, 2016, and if in certain states other statewide Libertarians also poll 4%, the Libertarian Party will be ballot-qualified in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut , Delaware, D.C., Florida, Georgia , Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. With a 5% showing, Illinois , Minnesota, North Dakota, Rhode Island, and Texas would also be on the list, for a total of 42 .
Elevating the "saint of the gutters" to one of the Catholic Church's highest honors, Pope Francis praises Mother Teresa for her radical dedication to society's outcasts and her courage in shaming world leaders for the "crimes of poverty they themselves created." By Nicole Winfield.
Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson received the endorsement of a prominent Virginia paper in an editorial posted Saturday night, notching a Labor Day weekend win for his third party bid. The glowing appraisal of Johnson's candidacy by the Richmond Times-Dispatch's editorial board contrasts the former New Mexico governor with Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic standard-bearer Hillary Clinton, both of whom lack the proper character traits to be president, the paper said.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch published an editorial piece Saturday night saying they will endorse Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson for president. The paper says the former New Mexico governor is the best choice for the presidency, calling him a "reasonable and formidable alternative" to Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
Fair-goers at the Iowa State Fair who cast their kernel at the WHO-HD stand practically begged for a third-party candidate to vote for. "We actually represent most Americans, fiscally conservative, socially inclusive, and skeptical when it comes to our military interventions" said Johnson.
It was a headline that launched headlines. On August 24, Politico , the buzzy Bible of the Beltway, put these words atop its homepage: " Hillary Clinton's run-out-the-clock strategy: The Democrat aims to ignore the email and Foundation controversies, seeing a shrinking calendar as her friend ."
