Notorious gangster wrote letter praising Trump and complaining about Mueller investigation

Image
As a man who ordered the murder of at least 19 people and spent more than two decades running one of America’s most deadly crime gangs, James “Whitey” Bulger is not someone most politicians would want an endorsement from.But the notoriously ruthless Boston crime lord was, it seems, a big supporter of Donald Trump.The gangster – who was murdered, aged 89, in prison last year – praised the US president in a series of letters written from his cell.He called the entrepreneur-turned-commander-in-chief a “man of the hour”, and said he admired how he was “tough and fights back instead of bowing” to critics.“He has,” Bulger wrote, “my vote so far”.He meant it metaphorically: in Oklahoma where he served much of his life sentence, prisoners are not on the electoral roll.The letters of praise came to light after their recipient, a nurse from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, named Janet Uhlar, passed them to America’s NBC News in an apparent bid to show a different side to the infamous gangster.In one of

‘Whitey’ Bulger Wrote Letters Praising Trump to a Juror Who Convicted Him

Image
U.S. Marshals Service/U.S. Dept. of Justice Handout/ReutersJust months before he was bludgeoned to death in a West Virginia prison, notorious Boston mobster James “Whitey” Bulger poured his heart out in a series of letters praising President Trump (he had his vote) and criticizing Robert Mueller, whom he said should be nicer.The 75 missives were sent to the most unusual of pen pals—a juror who helped to convict him of the 11 murders he carried out during the 1970s and 80s. Janet Uhlar, a nurse from Cape Cod, shared the letters and photos Bulger sent her with NBC News last week. Uhlar, who says she did not doubt Bulger’s guilt, told NBC that she was troubled by how the U.S. government handled the case, especially the way they cut deals with criminals to testify in Bulger’s trial. Psycho, Gangster, Rat: Whitey Bulger Gets What He Had ComingBulger wrote often about politics and was particularly fond of Donald Trump, writing that he was sure history would look back favorably on the 45th pr

The Tariff Threat Against Mexico Could Be Trump's Riskiest Bet Yet

Image
On May 30, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 5 percent tariff on all goods from Mexico starting June 10 unless the country takes "substantial" steps to stem the flow of migrants crossing the U.S. border. According to Trump's statement, that tariff would continue to rise by 5 percentage points on the first day of each following month until eventually capping off at 25 percent in October, where it would remain until Washington deems enough has been done to counter northbound migration flows from Central America. The Big PictureU.S. President Donald Trump has made immigration a clear priority as he gears up for his re-election in 2020. After shutting down the government in December in a bid to fund his U.S.-Mexico border wall, Trump is now threatening an unprecedented tariff hike on Mexican imports in the hopes of getting Mexico City to stem the increasing number of Central American migrants showing up at Washington's southern doorstep. However, combined

The call came a day after Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed met separately with the ruling generals and the protest leaders in an effort to revive talks that were almost dead after the dispersal of the sit-in outside the military's headquarters on Monday. The Sudan Doctors' Central Committee, one of the protest groups, said at least 113 people have been killed and more than 500 wounded since Monday. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2wJmBaT via Latest News
