Trump’s Hair Got Caught in a Stiff Wind and Left Him Completely Exposed: VIDEO
Trump had a really bad hair day last week. And he apparently forgot the ‘Make America Great Again’ hat he wears in a stiff wind.
And folks are making no apologies for mocking it.
New York magazine on the video, which has gone viral: “It was the worst hair day of what has been a bad hair life. And it may seem cheap and low to mock Trump’s absurd efforts to conceal his hair loss. But Trump is a man obsessed with image in ways that go beyond the normal human concern with looking presentable. Image is Trump’s moral code. He dismisses his political rivals for being short. He sees his succession of wives as visual testament to his own status. He selects his Cabinet on the basis of their looking the part. He conscripts the military as a prop to bathe himself in an aura of presidential grandeur. Trump’s absurd hair is of a piece with his lifelong attempt to market himself as a brilliant deal-maker and stable genius. So yes, it is okay to laugh when the ruse is exposed.”

Schalke – Wolfsburg im Live-Stream: DFB-Pokal online sehen, so geht’s
Schalke – Wolfsburg im Live-Stream: Wer folgt dem FC Bayern und Bayer Leverkusen ins Halbfinale des DFB-Pokals?
Diese Frage wird am Mittwochabend bei den beiden noch ausstehenden Viertelfinalspielen zwischen Eintracht Frankfurt und Mainz 05 sowie dem FC Schalke 04 und dem VfL Wolfsburg beantwortet.
Mit einem Sieg im Pokal-Viertelfinale will der VfL Wolfsburg seine letzte Chance auf eine Europacup-Teilnahme wahren. “Drei Siege, dann ist man im internationalen Fußball”, sagte VfL-Coach Martin Schmidt.
Von der Wolfsburger Anfangsformation, die 2015 das Endspiel gegen Borussia Dortmund gewann, spielen aber mittlerweile mehr Pokalhelden für den heutigen Gegner Schalke 04 (Naldo, Daniel Caligiuri) als für den VfL (Maximilian Arnold).
Diesen Erfolg wollen die beiden in diesem Jahr mit ihrem neuen Club wiederholen. “Ich brenne, die Jungs brennen darauf”, sagte Schalkes Trainer Domenico Tedesco. “Wenn man im Viertelfinale steht, dann hat jeder das Finale in Berlin im Auge.”

Universal Credit: New Free School Meals Threshold ‘To Hit One Million Children’
call for all children in families receiving Universal Credit to be eligible for free school meals, but instead they have chosen to make life harder for millions of parents across the country.”
Disappointing that @nadhimzahawi‘s first Ministerial action will be to remove eligibility that would enable an additional 1 million children in poverty to receive free school meals.
— The Children’s Society Policy Team (@ChildSocPol) February 7, 2018
The changes were confirmed in a statement sent out late on Wednesday afternoon.
Zahawi said: “Academic standards are rising, with 1.9 million more children now in good or outstanding schools than in 2010 and nine out of ten schools given this rating at their latest inspection.
“It is right that we must continue to offer the most disadvantaged young people additional help and I am pleased that, following public consultations, we can extend free school meals and the free early education entitlement for disadvantaged two-year-olds.
“Tens of thousands more children will be entitled to free school meals by 2022 compared to the previous benefits system.
“I’d like to thank everyone who responded to these consultations; their views will help to ensure every child can access a world-class education and the support reaches those that need it most.”

Trulia Now Reveals State-by-State Legal LGBT Protections for House Hunters
Real estate listing platform Trulia now provides information on legal LGBT protections for house hunters.
The company reports on a new feature:
The Local Legal Protections feature, an employee-led idea, helps homebuyers understand the non-discrimination laws that exist for the LGBT community in the jurisdiction of any prospective home.
Currently, national housing and employment non-discrimination laws only protect some classes, such as sex, race, age, color, religion, and national origin. That means explicit protections for people who identify as LGBT do not exist at the federal level and are inconsistent at the state and local levels. With the Local Legal Protections feature available on all property details pages on Trulia, homebuyers will know if their prospective new home is in a place where there are laws to prevent discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in the areas of housing, employment, and public accommodations…
…This feature underscores Trulia’s culture of diversity, inclusion, and innovation. Not only was the Local Legal Protections feature born from a recent Innovation Week at Trulia, it was also conceived and built by the members of our internal Pride Network.
