Here are a few national and Virginia news headlines, political and otherwise, for Monday, September 12.
- Clinton Is Being Treated for Pneumonia, Doctor Says
- Hillary Clinton almost fainted. I’m a doctor. It’s really o.k.
- ‘It looked dramatic, but it’s ok’: Doctor rips ‘misogynist’ media coverage of Clinton’s near-faint
- CNN’s Brian Stelter: ‘Stereotypes of women being weak’ are driving constant Clinton health scrutiny
- Donald Trump: Twin Towers ‘were not great buildings’ until ‘their demise’ on 9/11
- Paul Krugman: Thugs and Kisses (“… today’s Russia isn’t Communist, or even leftist; it’s just an authoritarian state, with a cult of personality around its strongman, that showers benefits on an immensely wealthy oligarchy while brutally suppressing opposition and criticism. And that, of course, is what many on the right admire.”)
- <Charles M. Blow: About the ‘Basket of Deplorables’ (“Donald Trump is a deplorable candidate — to put it charitably — and anyone who helps him advance his racial, religious and ethnic bigotry is part of that bigotry. Period.”)
- This election’s faith-based candidate (“The religious statements of Hillary Clinton ring true. Donald Trump’s don’t.”)
- With more people hitting the road, it’s time for a carbon tax (Agreed, but no way the Dave Brats and Paul Ryans of the world would ever go for that.)
- The next president should make infrastructure spending a priority
- WATCH: CNN’s Wolf Blitzer replays Clinton ‘stumbling’ clip 40 times in 10 minutes (Blitzer is barely a step above Fox or the National Enquirer.)
- Listen to Trump Brag on 9/11: My Building Is Now the Tallest in Lower Manhattan (Trump is a disgusting, sociopathic human being with zero compassion, empathy, decency, etc.)
- Here’s How Donald Trump Remembers 9/11
- Editorial: Trump probably would praise Stalin (No “probably” about it.)
- Trump, Iraq and Max Cleland: The right’s endless hypocrisy over the war (“Max Cleland was destroyed by GOPers for opposing the Iraq War, yet they’re fine with Trump’s (current) opposition”)
- Nearly 6 Million People Will Be Barred From Voting in November (“I’m afraid that they’ll find something else so felons can’t have their rights.”)
- Hillary Clinton Was Politically Incorrect, but She Wasn’t Wrong About Trump’s Supporters (“Clinton said half of Donald Trump’s supporters were prejudiced. If anything, her numbers are too low.”)
- Virginian-Pilot editorial: Interrupting Jim Crow’s return to North Carolina
- Editorial: Building a new, better economy in Virginia (“A study by the Kaufman Foundation found that most job growth is with start-ups. Start-ups depend on venture capital. Yet Virginia ranks only 16th in the country for venture capital. But that’s not something government can solve. Or is it? Let the conversation commence.”)
- National Anthem Protests Spread, Mutate As NFL Season Opens On 9/11 Anniversary
