Donald Trump will try to use his first news conference in nearly six months today to lay out a plan to separate himself from his business empire to try to erase questions about potential conflicts of interest, but Russia is likely to take center stage.
The president-elect will likely face questions about his bid to warm US relations with Moscow after American and British intelligence concluded Russia used cyber hacking to tilt the election in Trump's favor.

During the last few months, I've been pondering the following thoughts. How old is too old to serve as President, Prime Minister and, or Royalty?
It is a somewhat curious and unexplained paradox that during earlier times, when life expectancy was much lower than it is nowadays, politicians were generally much older, whereas today, when life expectancy is much greater, it's my belief, that leaders worldwide ought to be younger. In fact, leaders should consider retiring at age 70 in order to make room for younger blood. Earth is in Urgent Care.
According to research, the level of success depends on our personality, much more than IQ.
Our intelligence quotient, aka (IQ), grades, and scores on achievement tests are widely used as measures of cognition, but the correlations among them are far from perfect. This paper uses a variety of datasets to show that personality and IQ predict grades and scores on achievement tests. Personality is relatively more important in predicting grades than scores on achievement tests. IQ is relatively more important in predicting scores on achievement tests. Personality is generally more predictive than IQ on a variety of important life outcomes. Both grades and achievement tests are substantially better predictors of important life outcomes than IQ. The reason is that both capture personality traits that have independent predictive power beyond that of IQ.
Politics and payback often go hand in hand. The outcome could be very interesting because New Yorkers know her and have already voted for Hillary, so why not? But is she up for the task?

The 2017 Golden Globes on NBC aka The Hollywood Foreign Press awards are viewed as an Oscar predictor. La La Land is a front-runner for the rest of awards season.
The major motion picture musical won seven awards, including best musical, best actor and best actress. Moonlight won one Golden Globe, but it was a big one: best drama.

From 2009–2016 Barack Hussein Obama, who was born on August 4, 1961, has proven time and time again to be the most popular longest-serving President of the United States as he nears the end of his term.
He has proven to be the hippest president US President ever. The fact that he was elected and then re-elected the first African American President to live in The White House is not only extremely cool, but there's way too much to list beyond that.

The US is a multicultural melting pot comprised of people who make up an international salad of world languages. The final figures indicate that over 3 million registered voters cast more ballots for other candidates who were also running for president and not Donald Trump, making him the least popular president-elect in history.
The data is clear and figures are right here. The Donald does not appear to have a mandate, no matter how many times he repeats it and continues to say it. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/trump_favorableunfavorabl…
While every US Intelligence agency report points to Vladimir Putin and his Russian hackers as the culprits of a government-sponsored cyber campaign to help The Donald, he seems to be concerned with Arnold Schwarzenegger's ability to attract eyeballs.
Why is it that as American democracy suffers a grave assault, PEOTUS is overly concerned about Celebrity Apprentice TV ratings? http://entertainment.doseofnews.com/
