Over the course of his Presidential campaign, Donald Trump has insulted Mexicans. And Muslims. And women. And pretty much anyone who isn’t Donald Trump. He even went after Khizr Khan over this weekend, following the moving speech that “Patriotic Muslim” gave about his dead soldier of a son at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday night. Based on all of these wide-ranging insults, it’s hard to say anything is off limits when it comes to firing back at Donald Trump. Except, perhaps, for what The New York Post just did. The newspaper has run a front page that features the headline “THE OGLE OFFICE” and which also features a photo of Melania Trump… nude. Here. Click below to see an uncensored version for yourself: The front page said it has “exclusive photos” and that “you’ve never seen a potential First Lady like this,” adding: Steamy photos of Melania Trump emerged as husband Donald ratchets up his race for President. The nude pictures were snapped in Manhattan in 1995, revealing the potential First Lady’s life as a model known then as Melania K. Now, look: Melania Trump signed a modeling contract at the age of 18. Her past in this industry is not a secret. Prior to becoming Donald Trump’s third wife, Melania worked as a model for fashion houses in Milan and Paris, France, before relocating to New York City in 1996. She has appeared on the covers of such publications as Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and Vanity Fair. So one could argue that Donald Trump knew who he was marrying and that any photo Melania willfully posed for in a professional context is fair game. But this does seem unnecessarily sleazy and shameful, doesn’t it? Melania Trump RNC Speech: Ganked from Michelle Obama? There’s plenty to mock about Donald Trump. There are plenty of negative things you can write about the man himself. Why drag his wife into it, especially his NAKED wife? Yes, any outlet and any individual with a public platform and conscious ought to be coming out against Donald Trump, doing all they can to ensure this ignorant bully and bigot does not become President of the United States. But they should be able to accomplish that goal without dragging his family members through the mud. Do you agree? Or do you think Melania Trump’s nude past is fair game?

Dave Schwartz has lost his battle with cancer. The Weather Channel meteorologist, who has defeated that horrible disease two times in the past, was 63 years old. “It is with a heavy heart and great sadness to let you know that Dave Schwartz has passed away,” the Weather Channel said in a statement on Facebook. “He was a fan and staff favorite because he so obviously loved what he did and had a unique ability to draw viewers into the fascinating world of weather.” Concluded the emotional message: “His passion for weather was contagious and inspired many to enter the field of meteorology. His passion and love of weather will never be forgotten, he will be greatly missed.” About a decade ago, Schwartz was given just a year to live after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. According to the station, he then suffered through an unsuccessful procedure to remove a tumor. However, after radiation and chemotherapy treatments and another procedure, he was deemed cancer free. Months later, though, his pancreatic cancer had returned… yet he found a treatment and became cancer free once more. Last year, the beloved weatherman was diagnosed for a third time. After taking some time off and after receiving comments and messages of support from viewers, he addressed his battle with the illness on air.

His co-workers at the Weather Channel remember him as “the most creative personality to ever appear on The Weather Channel.” Here is what Jim Cantore had to say upon his passing: “Everything was genuine about this wonderful man. He was everybody’s friend and that’s what he really wanted to be. “He made so many of us laugh, smile, and wish we were like him. He was so genuine and trustworthy – things that come from the soul and cannot be taught … “I’m so thankful he was on our team doing what he loved till the end of his time.”

“Stu Ostro, Senior Meteorologist at the Weather Channel: “I changed my point of view from what it was in the days of the Fred Singer article, and would do so again if that’s what the evidence shows. But it does not. As I wrote back in 2006, global warming is not a religion. The chemistry, physics, and thermodynamics involved are science, not religion, nor are they liberal or conservative.”” http://current.com/1b9jn4c And from a different article: “CNN's long time climate change skeptic and purveyor of every wingnut talking point on global warming in the book, Chad Myers, finally admits the truth: “Is it caused by man? Yes. Is it 100% caused by man? No.”” http://current.com/179jn4c added by: TopScruffy
