Josh Duggar checks into ‘long-term treatment center’ after admitting to molesting sisters and cheating on wife

Published

on

Josh Duggar has entered some type of rehabilitation center amid near-daily reports of his sexual misconduct.

The former reality TV star and “family values” activist admitted in May to molesting four of his sisters and a babysitter when he was a teenager, and he apologized last week for being unfaithful to his wife after hackers revealed his accounts with the adultery website Ashley Madison.

His parents issued a statement Wednesday on their Facebook page thanking fans for their “love, care and prayers for our family during this most difficult situation with Josh,” saying they were “deeply grieved” by the 27-year-old’s “decisions and actions.”

“His wrong choices have deeply hurt his precious wife and children and have negatively affected so many others,” Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar said in a statement. “He has also brought great insult to the values and faith we hold dear.”

The couple said Josh Duggar “checked himself into a long-term treatment center,” where they expected him to take “a long journey toward wholeness and recovery.”

“We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere change,” the Duggars said. “In the meantime, we will be offering our love, care and devoted support to Anna and our grandchildren as she also receives counsel and help for her own heart and future.”

Giuliani can’t pay his taxes — so he’s borrowing money from another Trump lawyer: report

Published

on

Rudy Giuliani claims he's broke, but his soon-to-be-ex-wife argues that he's hiding his wealth and squandering his money working for President Donald Trump.

The former New York City mayor and his estranged wife Judith Giuliani are locked in a bitter divorce battle, and the ex-couple appeared Thursday in court to argue over their joint bank account, reported Bloomberg.

The 75-year-old Giuliani told the court he was forced to borrow $100,000 from Trump lawyer Marc Mukasey, his former law partner, after spending $800,000 so far this year on "marital expenses" related to the couple's lavish lifestyle.

Paul Krugman pulls back the curtain on Trump shipping billions of taxpayer dollars to foreign investors

Published

on

In a column for the New York Times, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman exposed Donald Trump's massive tax cut for wealthy Americans and what it also contains: a literal hand-out of billions of dollars to foreign investors.

Sarcastically calling it "Trump’s Secret Foreign Aid Program," the columnist said the president has successfully pulled off a massive "giveaway" to the rich -- including wealthy foreigners.

"Donald Trump often complains that the media don’t give him credit for his achievements. And I can think of at least one case where that’s true. As far I can tell, almost nobody is reporting that he has presided over a huge — but hidden — increase in foreign aid, the money America gives to foreigners. In fact, the hidden Trump program, currently running at around $40 billion a year, is probably the biggest giveaway to other nations since the Marshall Plan," Krugman wrote, before pithily adding, "Unfortunately, the aid isn’t going either to poor countries or to America’s allies. Instead, it’s going to wealthy foreign investors."

Newly released documents blow up Trump’s excuse for not handing over his taxes

Published

on

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin is defying a congressional request to hand over President Donald Trump's tax returns on the ground that asking for the president's taxes is supposedly an "unprecedented" invasion of privacy.

The Washington Post is reporting, however, that Congressional Democrats this week unearthed a new set of documents dating from 1973 that show requesting Trump's taxes is entirely within the bounds of political norms.
