Trump burns back after Obama DNC’s speech raises questions about predecessor support for Biden
President Trump apparently looked up Wednesday night when his predecessor, former President Barack Obama, launched a blowing attack on the current commander-in-chief in a speech on the third night of the Democratic Convention.
Trump, who has spent much of his nearly four years in office trying to undo Obama’s major policy movements – hit back at Obama in real time via Twitter.
“HE SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN, AND GOT CAUGHT,” the president wrote halfway through Obama’s speech.
A few minutes later, the president tweeted, “Why did he refuse to slow down peacefully until it was all over, and even they were extensive? Why did he try not to run him?”
In his speech, Obama accused that during Trump’s term of office “the president” shows no interest in putting the job in place; no interest in finding common ground; no interest in using the tremendous power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends. ”
As for Trump’s treatment of the coronavirus pandemic and the effects of the virus on the nation’s economy, Obama stated that ‘the consequences of that failure are dire. One hundred and seventy thousand Americans died. Millions of jobs went up, while those at the top took on more jobs than ever before. ” CLICK HERE FOR MORE TO TOP STORY.

Suspected attack in Portland has long been fast-paced, urging to surrender
The suspected attacker is being sought by Portland, Ore., Investigators – after a man was seen cold-cut during a chaotic scene last weekend – have a long criminal record that includes arrests for domestic assault and criminal offense, authorities say.
Marquise Love, 25, has been arrested seven times since 2012 in Washington County, Ore., Which borders Portland to the west, according to records provided to Fox News.
In 2017, Love was arrested for domestic assault and domestic harassment. He was not prosecuted, The New York Post reported, but a judge signed a protective order against him.
His rap sheet also includes two separate arrests in 2016 for giving false information in connection with the transfer of a firearm, and domestic assault and criminal offense. In 2015, Love was arrested for interfering with public transportation.
In 2014, a court in Washington County upheld the patency of Love of a child in a domestic relationship case and he was also charged with probation in an unrelated case. In that case, he was initially stopped for doing tricks on a bicycle while blocking traffic. The bike had no brakes, according to an arrest report.
Love was arrested twice in 2012 – once for second-degree theft, and again for interfering with public transportation and criminal offense. He pleaded guilty to the charge of public transport, the newspaper reported. The crime of crime for crime was dismissed, according to records.
He was sentenced to 18 months probation and a $ 500 fine, of which $ 400 was later converted to community service. He still owes thousands in unpaid fines from various convictions. CLICK HERE FOR MORE.

Alexei Navalny, an enemy of Putin, allegedly poisoned during the flight, hospitalized: reports
Alexei Navalny, a top critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was reportedly poisoned during a flight from Siberia to Moscow and has since been hospitalized.
Arkady Ostrovsky, the editor of the Russian magazine The Economist, said the plane made an emergency landing about halfway in flight, calling the Navalny press secretary.
The Kremlin did not immediately issue a statement. The Daily Beast reported that Kira Yarmish, Navalny’s press secretary, said Navalny was poisoned with some kind of toxin and was conscious.
