Trump campaign CEO accused in divorce papers of attacking wife

The man hired to remake Donald Trump’s image roughed up and threatened his wife during their marriage, she claimed in court documents that,
Stephen K. Bannon, the new CEO of the Trump campaign, grabbed his then-wife Mary Louise Piccard “by the throat and arm,” and threatened “to take the girls and leave,” referring to their twin daughters, according to a declaration she filed in their divorce case, which began in the mid-90s.

“I took the phone to call the police and he grabbed the phone away from me throwing it across the room, and breaking it as he [was] screaming that I was a ‘crazy f—ing c–t!” according to the report.
Police responded to the New Year’s Day, 1996, clash, and wrote up a report and took pictures of the victim’s injuries.

Bannon then got his lawyer on the case, who allegedly “threatened” Piccard and told her she “would have no money [and] no way to support the children” if the case went to trial.
Bannon then told Piccard to skip town.
He said “that if I wasn’t in town they couldn’t serve me and I wouldn’t have to go to court,” she claimed in the report.
“He also told me that if I went to court he and his  attorney would make sure that I would be the one who was guilty. I was told that I could go anywhere in the world.”
Piccard left for two weeks before Bannon’s attorney said she could return. according to the declaration.
“Because I was not present at the trial, the case was dismissed,” she said in the report.
Bannon had allegedly also earlier told Picccard, who was then his girlfriend and the expectant mother of their twin girls, that he would only agree to marry her if the kids were “normal.”

He married her on April 14, 1995, three days before the twins were born.
“Bannon made it clear that he would not marry me just because I was pregnant. I was scheduled for an amniocentesis and was told by the respondent that if the babies were normal we would get married,” Piccard claimed in a report.
“After the test showed that the babies were normal the respondent sent over a prenuptial agreement for me to review.”

Piccard alleged that Bannon believed in corporal punishment for the girls, even though he rarely saw them.
She cited as one example that Bannon allegedly spanked one of his toddler daughters to try to stop her from hitting her head against the crib.

Piccard claimed that when she intervened, he exploded, calling her “f-—ing crazy” and saying if he hadn’t been interrupted “she wouldn’t be banging her head anymore.”
“I have no comment and neither does my daughter,” Piccard.
A representative for Bannon said that, “Steve has a great relationship with his ex-wife and his twins.”

President Obama’s lame-duck drive for disastrous ‘success’

Image
Lame-duck presidents rarely get much done in their final year, or even try — clearing the field for election- year politics. But President Obama is plainly intent on feeding partisan rancor in 2016 — via unconstitutional overreach. He’s going big with executive action, damn the consequences. And he’s doing so on divisive issues from gun control to immigration. On New Year’s Eve, his Homeland Security Department announced new rules boosting the number of work visas for foreign-born US college graduates — well above the level approved by Congress. This, just weeks after language buried deep in the omnibus spending bill increased visas for working-class immigrants. And as immigration has become a bitter issue on the presidential campaign trail. On gun control, word is that an executive order to expand background checks on certain gun sales will come this week. Look: This issue’s been before Congress for at least two years — and gone nowhere. Worse, Obama’s c...

Snapchat has apologized to Rihanna and Chris Brown

Image
Snapchat has apologized for approving and promoting an ad which asked users if they “would rather slap Rihanna or punch Chris Brown.” The ad, featured on the California-based social media platform, appeared to reference Brown’s conviction for assaulting Rihanna in his car after a pre-Grammy party in 2009. Rihanna, pictured posing with long red locks, is positioned next to the phrase “Slap Rihanna.” Brown is positioned directly under her, appearing to dance, next to the phrase “Punch Chris Brown.” Shocked Snapchat users took to other social media platforms to express their disgust and question why the ad was created in the first place. A Snapchat spokesperson told Sun Online: “The ad was reviewed and approved in error as it violates our advertising guidelines. We immediately removed the ad last weekend, once we became aware. We are sorry that this happened.” Social media user @TheRoyceMann took a screenshot of the advert on Sunday and tweeted: “Is it just me, or is...

NASA captures Jupiter like never before

Aclose-up view of Jupiter’s southern hemisphere A NASA spacecraft has captured the best views of Jupiter yet, revealing turbulent storms in the north pole. Jupiter’s northern polar region is stormier than expected and appears bluer than the rest of the planet, said mission chief scientist Scott Bolton of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. “This image is hardly recognizable as Jupiter,” he said in a statement. NASA on Friday released a batch of close-up pictures  taken by the Juno spacecraft last week when it flew within 2,500 miles of Jupiter’s dense cloud tops. During the rendezvous that took Juno from pole to pole, the solar-powered spacecraft turned on its camera and instruments to collect data. The first glimpse of Jupiter’s poles came in 1974 when Pioneer 11 flew by on its way to Saturn. The detailed pictures taken by Juno look “like nothing we have seen or imagined before,” Bolton said. Juno also sent back unique views of Jup...
