Donald Trump’s Swamp Gets Murkier

Now that he is president-elect, Donald Trump’s anti-corruption promise to “drain the swamp” of Washington lobbyists and powerful insiders seems to be rapidly dissolving in the swamp itself. An untold number of lobbyists and special interest players have been helping the Trump team’s transition to the White House, their path made easier, according to news reports, by vague and porous ethical standards.

The most mischievous of these is a rule by which applicants merely have to de-register as government lobbyists one day to be ready the next for transition and administration jobs. It’s not hard to imagine a lobbyist taking down his shingle on Monday and joining the Trump team on Tuesday, eager to rewrite government regulations that cover his former clients’ areas of interest.

Inside the cryogenic lab where Brits - including a 14-year-old girl - are paying to be frozen so they can have another chance at lif

Entombed like a modern-day mummy, Cormac Seachoy hangs upside down inside a huge steel Thermos flask along with three other cryogenic patients.

His hopes and dreams are frozen in time as he waits for another shot at life after he died of colon cancer last December.

Cormac, 27, was one of an ever-growing numbers of Britons hoping medicine will one day cure the cause of their death.

Among the others is a 14-year-old girl who became the first child from the UK to be cryogenically preserved after a rare form of cancer claimed her life.

Before her death on October 17 the London teenager, known only as JS, won a High Court legal battle after her divorced parents become embroiled in a dispute over her wishes

'Supercar thief stole a £97,000 Rolls Royce that a Saudi Prince kept in a Mayfair garage after blagging the DVLA that he was the real owner'

A supercar thief stole a £97,000 Rolls Royce that a Saudi Prince kept in a Mayfair garage by fooling the DVLA into thinking he was the real owner, a court has heard. 

Mohammed Humza, 25, is said to have filed a V62 form to the DVLA claiming to own Sheikh Mohammed Alibrahim's Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe.

The prince claims only he and his chauffeur were allowed to get behind the wheel and says the driver inspected the car, which was kept in a garage in central London, every week.

Humza allegedly fooled the DVLA with the bogus V62 form and ordered new keys for the saloon.

According to charges he later sold it to Shaks Specialist Cars in Huddersfield for £27,500 with a Blue BMW 5 Series and a White Mercedes-Benz A Class as part of the deal.

Sheikh Alibrahim says he was unable to reply to the DVLA on whether the ownership had changed because he was abroad.

Humza also faces charges for telling the DVLA he was the lawful owner of a Porsche 911 belonging to Nicholas Cattelian, a Ferrari California belonging to Sara Duncan, and an Aston Martin DB9 belonging to Jake Urich.

He denies any wrongdoing and claims he had a 'legitimate right' to Sheikh Alibrahim's Rolls Royce.

Humza appeared at Southwark Crown Court wearing a grey Hugo Boss sweater and smart trousers.

He spoke only to identify himself and to deny five counts of fraud by false representation and one count of conspiring to steal a motor vehicle.

Judge Anthony Leonard QC said the trial will begin in the week beginning February 27 at Southwark Crown Court.

Here's what Barack Obama told his daughters the morning Trump won the election

Like millions of Americans, Barack Obama was struggling to explain the results of last week's election, a New Yorker profile on the president revealed.

Obama campaigned furiously for Hillary Clinton throughout the presidential campaign, and repeatedly painted Republican Donald Trump as bigoted and xenophobic. Much of his legacy depended on a Clinton victory.

But when Trump won the election in a shocking upset, Obama still had some comforting words to say to his daughters.

"What I say to them is that people are complicated," Obama told The New Yorker's David Remnick:

"Societies and cultures are really complicated. … This is not mathematics; this is biology and chemistry. These are living organisms, and it’s messy. And your job as a citizen and as a decent human being is to constantly affirm and lift up and fight for treating people with kindness and respect and understanding.
