France’s premier warns of new attacks, 15,000 people on police radar

PARIS (Reuters) – French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said on Sunday there would be new attacks in France but proposals by former president Nicolas Sarkozy to boost security was not the right way to deal with threats.
Hillary Clinton suffered a “medical episode” Sunday morning — causing her to abruptly leave the 9/11 anniversary service, according to a report.
The 68-year-old Democratic nominee appeared to faint just before 10 a.m. as family members of the 2,977 victims were reading through their
names, Fox News reported.
A witness told the network that the former Secretary of State’s “knees buckled” and she lost a shoe as her security team rushed her to a nearby van.

Today, we honor the memory of those we lost on September 11, 2001. On that day, the lives of nearly 3,000 people were tragically cut short at the hands of those who sought only suffering and destruction. The innocent victims were our fathers, our mothers, our daughters, our sons, and our friends. They were the brave and selfless few that raced to help in the minutes, days, and weeks after the attacks. Today we honor their sacrifice.
While lives were taken and property was destroyed, what the terrorists were truly seeking to attack that day was our resolve and our spirit. They wanted the American people to cower and relinquish the most fundamental right that we hold dear—our freedom.
Unfortunately for them, our armed forces abroad and our first responders here at home—the most dedicated and well-trained people on the planet—have never backed down from a challenge since our country was founded nearly 250 years ago. And these brave men and women have the unwavering support of millions of Americans who cherish their freedom and stand by those who fight for it.
As we pause to remember all that we lost on that day 15 years ago, we must remember that our flag still proudly flies here and across the world. We must remember that the terrorists failed to take what they wanted most—our nation’s belief in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And as our country continues to face adversaries here and abroad, we must remember just how precious life and freedom truly are.
Let us never forget those we lost 15 years ago today. May God bless the United States of America.

NEW YORK — With Election Day less than two months away, Democrats are increasingly worried that Hillary Clinton has not built a formidable lead against Donald Trump despite his historic weaknesses as a national party candidate.
Even the Democratic nominee’s advisers acknowledge that she must make changes, and quickly. Clinton leads Trump by three percentage points, having fallen from her high of nine points in August, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average. That tightening has frustrated many Clinton allies and operatives, who are astonished that she isn’t running away with this race, given Trump’s deep unpopularity and his continuing stream of controversial comments.
“Generally, I’m concerned, frankly,” said former Democratic Senate leader Thomas A. Daschle (S.D.). “It still looks positive, and I think if you look at the swing states and where she is right now, she’s got a lead. But it’s certainly not in the bag. We have two months to go, and I think it’s going to be a competitive race all the way through. I would say she’s got at least a 60 percent chance of winning.”
At the same time, Daschle said, “all the things that Trump has done, the numbers should be far more explicitly in her favor, but they’re not.”
NYT calls for moderator ‘fact check’ after Lauer sins by allowing candidates to speak
By Ashe Schow • 09/09/16 3:45pm
The biggest news to come out of Wednesday night’s candidate forum was not anything said by either Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton or Republican nominee Donald Trump.
No, the biggest story of the night was how NBC host Matt Lauer allegedly failed at his job as a journalist. Lauer, who has been a journalist since 1979, who has co-hosted The Today Show since 1997, who was live during the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, and who has won numerous Emmy awards for his coverage.
Suddenly, Lauer is garbage, no better—in the eyes of the mainstream media—than some basement-dwelling right-wing blogger.

Hillary Clinton, You’re No John F. Kennedy Thankfully Donald Trump and the Republicans understand the JFK-Reagan supply-side solution.
By Lawrence Kudlow,
Sep 7, 2016
The election season is heating up, Donald Trump has pulled back even with Hillary Clinton, and every new economic number is being scrutinized for its supposed political meaning.
The unexpectedly soft August jobs report will lend a little political advantage to Donald Trump. In general, jobs came in 30,000 to 40,000 below expectations. Goods-producing and manufacturing jobs decreased, wages were near flat and retreated to 2.4 percent year-on-year, the private and manufacturing workweeks fell, and overall hours dropped.
However, this is far from a catastrophe. Jobs still climbed by 150,000 or so. And the third quarter ending in September will probably generate near 3 percent growth, as inventories reverse course and start rising again. These numbers may well lend some political advantage to Hillary.
But if you look under the economy’s hood, you’ll discover…
The fascinating, suppressed history of how JFK pioneered supply-side economics.
John F. Kennedy was the first president since the 1920s to slash tax rates across-the-board, becoming one of the earliest supply-siders. Sadly, today’s Democrats have ignored JFK’s tax-cut legacy and have opted instead for an anti-growth, tax-hiking redistribution program, undermining America’s economy.
One person who followed JFK’s tax-cut growth model was Ronald Reagan. This is the never-before-told story of the link between JFK and Ronald Reagan. This is the secret history of American prosperity.
JFK realized that high taxes that punished success and fanned class warfare harmed the economy. In the 1950s, when high tax rates prevailed, America endured recessions every two or three years and the ranks of the unemployed swelled. Only in the 1960s did an uninterrupted boom at a high rate of growth (averaging 5 percent per year) drive a tremendous increase in jobs for the long term. The difference was Kennedy’s economic policy, particularly his push for sweeping tax-rate cuts.
Kennedy was so successful in the ’60s that he directly inspired Ronald Reagan’s tax cut revolution in the 1980s, which rejuvenated the economy and gave us another boom that lasted for two decades.
Lawrence Kudlow and Brian Domitrovic reveal the secret history of American prosperity by exploring the little-known battles within the Kennedy administration. They show why JFK rejected the advice of his Keynesian advisors, turning instead to the ideas proposed by the non-Keynesians on his team of rivals.
We meet a fascinating cast of characters, especially Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon, a Republican. Dillon’s opponents, such as liberal economists Paul Samuelson, James Tobin, and Walter Heller, fought to maintain the high tax rates—including an astonishing 91% top rate—that were smothering the economy. In a wrenching struggle for the mind of the president, Dillon convinced JFK of the long-term dangers of nosebleed income-tax rates, big spending, and loose money. Ultimately, JFK chose Dillon’s tax cuts and sound-dollar policies and rejected Samuelson and Heller.
In response to Kennedy’s revolutionary tax cut, the economy soared. But as the 1960s wore on, the departed president’s priorities were undone by the government-expanding and tax-hiking mistakes of Presidents Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter. The resulting recessions and the “stagflation” of the 1970s took the nation off its natural course of growth and prosperity– until JFK’s true heirs returned to the White House in the Reagan era.
Kudlow and Domitrovic make a convincing case that the solutions needed to solve the long economic stagnation of the early twenty-first century are once again the free-market principles of limited government, low tax rates, and a strong dollar. We simply need to embrace the bipartisan wisdom of two great presidents, unleash prosperity, and recover the greatness of America.
Ridgewood NJ, YWCA Bergen County is holding its September WEN is Now: Women’s Empowerment Network event, “Clean Out Your Closet, Clean Out Your Life”, on Wednesday, September 28, 2016 from 8:30 to 10:00 am at 112 Oak Street, Ridgewood.
Clutter is not only your old ideas, toxic relationships, bad habits and stalled moments. Clutter also refers to the 15 pairs of black pants in 5 different sizes that live in your closet, taking up space in your life and stealing energy from your day. Clutter is anything that stands between you and living the life you most want to be living. Many women put self-care last on their list of priorities. Take a “time out” to SHOP YOUR CLOSET. In so doing…you will also SHOP YOUR LIFE!
Together, we are going to look in the mirror to do both a closet and personal audit to determine 3 key things: What’s your story? What needs to go? What’s next?
Presenters Randi Levin, CPC, Founder & CEO of Randi Levin Coaching; and Martha Fickinger, President of Style Venture Inc. and a Club Level Stylist for W by Worth; will discuss what to keep in your closet and in your life, what to donate and let go, and what to restyle and reinvent. This workshop is for the woman who wants to embrace change and feel confident in her personal life choices as well as in strategically aligning her overall look. Our goal is to create “GO TO” looks for every occasion, eliminate unnecessary personal and physical clutter, and to create a strategic wish list for growth and renewal.
Get the personal and professional growth you seek with exclusive opportunities for WEN is Now Membership. Annual WEN is Now Memberships are available at $150. Memberships include one-year basic YWCA membership, members-only discounts for women’s empowerment programs, and a tax deductible donation ($100) toward vital YWCA programming.
