Donald Trump is the 'preferred candidate' of ISIS, experts warn
Donald Trump has said that "no one will be tougher" on terrorism than him, but new analysis from Foreign Affairs magazine shows that ISIS — the terror group Trump has pledged to eradicate — is actually hoping for the Republican nominee to win the US presidency.
Foreign Affairs analyzed ISIS' online channels and interviewed a dozen supporters and defectors to reach its conclusion. The magazine found that "jihadists are rooting for a Trump presidency because they believe that he will lead the United States on a path to self-destruction."
Malcolm Nance, a terrorism expert and veteran military intelligence officer, offered a similar assessment after a terrorism debate at the Comedy Cellar in New York City last month.

Michelle Bachmann: If Hillary Wins, This Will Be ‘The Last Election’
In an interview with The Christian Broadcasting Network, former Republican congressmanMichelle Bachmann warned that the consequences of electingHillary Clinton would be dire for both the country and the Republican Party.
“I don’t want to be melodramatic but I do want to be truthful. I believe without a shadow of a doubt this is the last election,” she said on The Brody File. “This is it. This is the last election.”
“It’s a math problem of demographics and a changing United States,” continued Bachmann. “If you look at the numbers of people who vote and who lives in the country and who Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton want to bring in to the country, this is the last election when we even have a chance to vote for somebody who will stand up for godly moral principles. This is it.”

Overreach? Clinton campaign says conservative group’s latest email release actually deals with a successful diplomatic mission
A new trove of Hillary Clinton-related emails was released Thursday by a conservative research organization, and the group said they revealed requests for State Department action from Clinton Foundation employees and a key donor in 2009, seeming to add fuel to the notion that the Clintons provided favors to friends and supporters.
"Bill Clinton/Doug Band Sought State Department Favors for Foundation Supporters," said a headline in Thursday's news release from Judicial Watch.
In fact, many of the emails touted by Judicial Watch concern a once-secret mission to North Korea by former president Bill Clinton that led to the release of two American journalists who had been sentenced to 12 years of hard labor for spying. The highlighted emails centered around a moment widely considered a Clinton success, providing the campaign an opening to chide a longtime antagonist whose ongoing litigation against the State Department has produced a series of embarrassing revelations.
"Judicial Watch is now attacking State Department officials and the 42nd President of the United States for rescuing two American journalists from North Korea," said campaign spokesman Josh Schwerin, calling the release "a new low even for this right-wing organization that has been going after the Clintons since the 1990s."
The featured item in Thursday’s Judicial Watch release includes a request from longtime Clinton aide Doug Band for coveted diplomatic passports, which provide easy transit for State Department and other top-level government employees. The request, which was never fulfilled, was part of planning a mission that is generally considered a triumph for American diplomacy and the post-White House career of Bill Clinton.
