Breitbart Calls Bill Kristol “Renegade Jew" The Young Turks on @TheRonnieRe

Is a new candidate going to enter the presidential race?

Last Updated May 30, 2016 12:53 PM EDT
Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol sent out a provocative tweet Sunday, calling for a "heads up over this holiday weekend" that another presidential candidate -- an independent -- would be entering the race for the White House.

Kristol said no more Sunday evening, beyond the tweet, which referred to the yet-to-be-named candidate as "an impressive one, with a strong team and a real chance."
Donald Trump unleashed a series of tweets in response, insulting Kristol, and both badgering the GOP and calling on the party to unite against this unnamed new opponent. He also implied in his tweets that an independent run would mean a Clinton victory and a liberal nomination to the nation's highest court.
Kristol's original tweet may have been a little wishful, though. A source who is also part of the effort to recruit a candidate to run against Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton told CBS News' Julianna Goldman not to expect an announcement for a couple of weeks.
The Washington Post had reported a little over two weeks ago that GOP operatives had mounted an effort to derail Donald Trump by bringing in another conservative candidate. Goldman confirmed that several names were being considered at the time, including former Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and retired Army Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal.
Independents sense an opening -- Trump and Hillary Clinton have the highest unfavorable ratings in CBS News/New York Times polls going back to 1984, when the question was first asked.
But the time for an independent candidacy is running short -- the deadline to make it onto the Texas ballot for the general election has already passed, and North Carolina's deadline is coming quickly on June 9.

Drama teacher took on 11,500-mile trip to see Jeremy Irons in Bristol Old Vic play

By Western Daily Press Western Daily Press  |  Sat 23 Apr 2016



A man who flew 11,500 miles to see Jeremy Irons in a play at Bristol Old Vic had the surprise of his life when the Oscar-winning actor came out to meet him.
Gary File, a drama teacher

 from New Zealand, had flown to England to see Jeremy Irons 

perform in A Long Day's Journey into Night at the King Street Theatre 

on Wednesday night. Unbeknown to him, his son Kiernan had 

contacted Irons, who surprised Mr File by inviting him into his dressing 

room for a chat after the performance.

Mr File taught drama in a high school in New Zealand for 40 years and as a retirement

 gift to himself he wanted to see this classic play at the Bristol Old Vic with Jeremy as James Tyrone.
Kiernan wrote to the debonair star to tell him about his father's globetrotting trip.


The letter read: "I know he will appreciate the experience regardless. However, I was wondering whether there was any chance Mr Irons would be willing to briefly meet my father at the conclusion of the show? He doesn't know I have written this, so there is no pressure if this is not possible.

"I thought I would at the very least try as he has given so much to our family and to generations of drama students

 in New Zealand, and asked for nothing in return.
"A surprise like this would make his trip."
Despite being exhausted at the end of the epic and heart-rending three hours 20 minutes show, Jeremy happily agreed to an audience with the long-serving teacher. Over a glass

 of whiskey, the pair discussed the play and their mutual passion for the theatre and sailing.
After the meeting, Jeremy said: "We all have that one teacher who inspired us to become the people we are today. From reading his son's letter, it's obvious Gary File is one of those teachers to many of his students.
"I'm so pleased to be able to meet Gary and congratulate him on 40 years of teaching drama to young people. I wish him a very happy retirement and thank him for making the long journey from New Zealand to see us this evening."
A thrilled Gary added: "It was quite a surreal experience because when you've admired an actor since the 1980s and you finally go into a dressing room and meet them like that and they are so warm

 and generous it takes your breath away.


"He was so kind and welcoming and interested in what someone like me had to say about the play – when you're talking to one of the world's premier actors it's remarkable. It was a bit hard to take in when I was first told I was meeting him after the show and it all happened so quickly."

The Flying Scotsman: Tickets To Ride

Flying Scotsman Borders Railway and Forth Bridge trip back on

Flying ScotsmanImage copyrightAP
The Flying Scotsman will be allowed to run on the Borders Railway and Forth Bridge on Sunday after a climbdown by Network Rail.
Excursion operators had been told on Friday the trip must be cancelled because it could not be sure the engine was suitable for the line.
Network Rail chief executive Mark Carne apologised and said an investigation would take place.
Scottish Transport Minister Derek Mackay branded the affair a "debacle".
Hundreds of steam enthusiasts are planning to turn out to watch the newly-restored locomotive run on the Borders line, which re-opened last September.
Late on Friday afternoon, however, Network Rail said it it did not have the right data to "gauge" the Flying Scotsman - a process which involves checking if it fits within structures such as platforms and bridges on the line.
A planned trip across the Forth Bridge into Fife later in the day was also cancelled for the same reason.
Network Rail reversed its decision on both journeys less than 24 hours later, after intensive lobbying.

'Wholehearted apology'

Network Rail chief executive Mark Carne said: "Overnight and through today our engineers and analysts have worked hard to find a way to get the necessary safety checks and engineering assessments done.
"I am pleased to say that we have been successful and are now able to reinstate the original planned tours of Flying Scotsman in Scotland on Sunday.
"I wholeheartedly and sincerely apologise for the consternation caused by the premature announcement yesterday.
"Once the tours have been safely and successfully run, I will be instigating a full investigation into how this problem occurred on our railway in Scotland."
Transport Minister Derek Mackay had earlier accused the rail body of "appalling incompetence" and described the situation as a "debacle".
He later tweeted: "Solved. Flying Scotsman will run on Borders and Fife. Questions remain on how it came to this, but thanks a solution was found."
The leader of Scottish Borders Council David Parker praised the efforts to resolve the deadlock.

"The Flying Scotsman will visit the Borders tomorrow as planned," he said.
"All of the planned events at Galashiels and Tweedbank are back on. The Flying Scotsman is coming and the problems have been resolved.
"ScotRail have worked tirelessly over the past 24 hours and in that period of time have managed to sort out problems that Network Rail couldn't do in 12 weeks.
"There's been incredible partnership working and some fantastic work done by the team in Scotland and I can't praise them enough
"But the message to Borderers and the many people coming to visit our regions is that all the work behind the scenes has paid off. The Flying Scotsman's coming and all events are back on."
The locomotive is due to arrive at Edinburgh Waverley Station later on Saturday, ahead of the Borders and Fife trips.
Built in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, in 1923, the Flying Scotsman pulled the first train to break the 100mph barrier in 1934.
The National Railway Museum in York bought the locomotive for £2.3m in 2004 before work got under way on its decade-long restoration two years later.
In February Network Rail was forced to pay out almost £60,000 in compensation when dozens of train services were delayed by people encroaching on the track during the refurbished train's inaugural run from London to York.
