NO PLACE FOR TRUMP AS PRESIDENT OF AMERICA, SAYS KENNEDY

Donald Trump has no chance of winning the US presidential election, best-selling US writer Douglas Kennedy has told AFP — but if he did, he would be an “American Mussolini”.

“Trump has no chance,” said Kennedy of the Republican candidate in next month’s US presidential election.

But the fact that he was even in the running for the White House was indicative of “the rise of the far right all around the world,” he said in an interview at his home in Paris.

Donald Trump, facing the deepest crisis of his presidential campaign, apologised early Saturday for crude and aggressively sexual remarks about women that he made in 2005, as criticism swelled from within his Republican Party.

The Republican nominee, in a shocking video released by The Washington Post Friday, was caught using vulgar language about groping and kissing women with impunity.

I USED TO BRUSH WITHOUT TOOTHPASTE, SAYS SAM ADEYEMI

As a child, Sam Adeyemi did not enjoy a life of luxury, unlike other children of the affluent. But he certainly experienced modest comfort at a time.

When his father was a civil servant, he had the kind of fun that children of the middle class have. Later when the old man became a contractor, things turned better for the family and life turned rosier for the young Adeyemi.

6 THINGS YOU CAN NEVER CHANGE ABOUT A MAN

We've all been guilty of this. You meet a guy and he's perfect in almost every way except for one big thing. We don't give up on him though. At first we try to ignore it, but who are we kidding. Then we do what we are told never to do in a relationship -- we try to change him. Even though it has never worked in the past, we convince ourselves that this guy will bend to your will and be the way you want him to be. I will admit, he may give in on some things (I mean putting the toilet seat down is just good manners!), but you don't have a chance on some issues. Take a look at the 6 things you can never change about a man.

1. He's a dog person.
No matter how many cute kitties you shove in his face, if the man prefers Labs, he prefers Labs.

10 SIGNS TO KNOW IF YOUR PARTNER IS CHEATING...CHECK THIS OUT

When it comes to your partner cheating, I don’t believe there are any definitive clues. He could be working late, or he could be cheating late. He could be dressing up for you — or his mistress. That’s what makes this type of thing so confusing and hurtful. When you trust your spouse, you trust his explanations. But there are always certain things that get our antennae up. They don’t seem to change much over the years, though with the advent of technology, those little hints now seem to involve a lot more cellphones and social media and a lot less lipstick on the collar (unless you’re President Obama). Here are 10 classic signs your guy (or your woman) might be cheating.

1. He starts dressing better.
According to divorce lawyer Marilyn Stowe, this is still a sign you should look out for. Did he suddenly morph from flannel and dirty boots to smart suits and shiny loafers? I’d add in wearing cologne all of a sudden, or changing the cologne he always wears to something new. Could be a sign the mistress gave him a bottle that she likes better.
