Rahm Emanuel will speak at two June fundraisers for a major super PAC supporting Hillary Clinton for president.

“Hillary is smart, she’s determined, and most importantly, she is a champion for the American people,” the Chicago mayor said in a statement from the Ready for Hillary super PAC. “I’m proud to make my support for her official, and I’m even prouder to join more than two million Americans encouraging her to run.”

Emanuel will speak at two events for the PAC on June 5 in Chicago.

“When I worked with her in the White House, I saw what an effective leader she was — like when she spoke out on women’s rights in Beijing and when she played an instrumental role in passing the Children’s Health Insurance Program,” the statement continued. “I’ve seen firsthand how Hillary has inspired women and men, and girls and boys, here in America and across the globe, and I know that as president, she would continue to move our country forward.”

Former President Bill Clinton will speak at a fundraiser for Emanuel in Chicago later in June.
Last October, Emanuel said he would support the former first lady and secretary of State if she ran in 2016. “I’m behind Hillary if she runs. And I think she will, but that’s up to her,” he told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “If she runs, I’m in.”

Emanuel, a fixture in Democratic politics, worked on Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign in 1992 and served as a senior adviser in the Clinton White House. After serving as a congressman for Illinois’ 5th district and overseeing the Democrats’ takeover of the House as Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman in 2006, he moved into the White House as chief of staff for President Barack Obama

FOX NEWS HOST REFUSES TO BOARD PLANE WITH BLACK FEMALE PILOT

By Anonymous -
conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter has lost her mind! She refused to stay on board a Miami to New York flight after learning the pilot was a Black woman. According to witnesses, Coulter was concerned the experienced, decorated pilot may have gained her position as a result of affirmative action and wasn’t fully qualified to fly. The incident began when Coulter boarded the American Airlines flight and took up her first class seat. After a trip to the bathroom, she noticed the pilot was a black woman and became immediately distraught. According to passengers, at that point Coulter stood at the front of the cabin and began screaming her concerns to the entire flight as they finished boarding. “Aw come on people, a black woman flying a plane? You know she got that job through affirmative action. Am I the only one worried about this? I mean hello? Our lives are at stake here…” The confused passengers weren’t sure what to make of Coulter’s outburst, and rema...

After pouring thousands of dollars into her decrepit house, Tocco Collins made the heartbreaking discovery that she had been seriously scammed. The mother of 12 had waited patiently for her landlords to deliver on their promises to fix the house’s holes, broken windows and burned out light box, CBS Atlanta reports. But after seven months, Collins learned that the phonies she had been paying $600 a month in rent didn’t own the home and had also skipped town. The actual owner had no idea her home was being rented out. “Step by step, I’m trying to make some effort,” Collins told the news outlet. “Right now I’m lost.” The Atlanta mother and her children are now homeless. They’re also at risk of getting broken up by child services, a devastating fate that do-gooders are trying to prevent. Members of Occupy Atlanta are raising money for the family to buy a new home, and volunteers said they would help renovate the new residence after it’s secured. Getting duped by a ...

Larry Smith, producer of some of the most cherished hip-hop records of the Eighties, including Run-D.M.C. 's first two albums, died Thursday at the age of 63.
