Trump says 'sources' tell him Joe Biden repeatedly uses the term 'Super Predator' when referring to young black men - despite any evidence Democrat has said it

Donald Trump claimed Sunday that his ‘sources’ were the ones who told him Joe Biden used the phrase ‘super predator’ to refer to black American men as the president’s repeated attack came into question as no evidence emerged that the Democratic nominee ever used the term.  'Joe Biden called Black Youth SUPER PREDATORS. They will NEVER like him, or vote for him. They are voting for 'TRUMP,'' the president tweeted Sunday morning. Just a few hours later he defended his claims in a second tweet on the subject: “Joe Biden constantly used the term “Super Predator” when referring to young Black Men, according to my sources.” Trump’s tweets Sunday morning are a repeat, and further justification of claims he made at both debate face-offs with Biden earlier this fall. Biden, however, is nowhere on tape using the term ‘super predator.’ It appears Trump conflated attacks he used against Hillary Clinton for her 1996 remarks where she did use the phrase ‘super predator’ when talking

Six in ten voters in crucial swing state Florida say they already cast their ballots as 58 per cent of Pennsylvania voters say they will wait until Election Day – with numbers skewed for Biden in early and absentee cases

The majority of voters in Florida, a crucial swing state for Donald Trump's victory on Tuesday, have already cast their ballots taking either early or absentee measures to vote by mail or in-person ahead of Election Day. An ABC News/Washington Post poll released Sunday shows 60 per cent of voters in Florida have already cast their ballots while only 32 per cent in Pennsylvania, another key battleground state, have done so. With 29 Electoral College votes, Florida is the most influential of the 2020 swing states – and having gone for Donald Trump in 2016, the state is a must-win for the president if he wants another four years. Florida is also the state Democratic nominee Joe Biden needs to clinch to take down Trump with just one state. Pennsylvania is the second-most influential swing state with 20 Electoral College votes. In the Keystone State, 58 per cent of voters say they are waiting until Election Day to cast their ballot, while 10 per cent say they still intend to vote early

The price of pink diamonds is expected to soar after the Argyle Diamond Mine which produced nearly the entire world supply closes this week. The world's largest pink diamond mine began when a group of geologists stumbled across a stone in the Kimberley region of Western Australia in the 1970s. Since owner Rio Tinto began production in 1983 the mine has produced 95 per cent of the world supply of the rare diamonds.

'Meow...': Kirstie Alley's feud with CNN gets personal as she blasts covid 'fear mongering and fake information' while network tweets that 'countless people' turned off when her show Veronica's Closet came on TV

Actress Kirstie Alley has hit back at CNN after the network slammed her for ‘downplaying’ the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. On Friday, Alley and the network got into a heated Twitter exchange after she accused CNN of causing people to ‘live in terror’ as a result of their coverage of the global health crisis. ‘I know why my personal friends who walk around in SHEER TERROR of contracting COVID are simply CNN viewers!’ the 69-year-old Scientologist wrote. ‘I decided to watch CNN myself to get their viewpoint and oh my God DID I EVER!!!! If YOU TOO WANT TO LIVE IN TERROR WATCH CNN!! FEAR OF DYING IS THEIR MANTRA! OMG!’ she added. CNN’s official communications page quickly issued a response to Alley, scorning: ‘Kirstie, you are welcome to change the channel — just like countless viewers did every time “Veronica's Closet” came on TV,’ in reference to her 1997 sitcom. ‘But don't downplay the loss of nearly 230K American lives. And please, wear a mask,’ the tweet continued. Alley, who
