  • Trump Bans the Washington Post from his Future Events

    David Ganezer, Observer Staff Writer|Jun 14, 2016

    Presumptive Republican Nominee Donald Trump has ordered that the press credentials of all Washington Post reporters be revoked.

Obama Was Involved with Orlando Shooting" headline was the last straw, apparently, that broke the proverbial camels back. The Washington Post later softened its headline, saying Trump seemed to...

    Stan Greene, Observer Staff Writer|Jun 14, 2016

Since the tragic Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooting, a portrait has emerged of a young man with issues of emotional instability and sexuality. Orlando shooter Omar Mateen was gay, former...
