As a part of his recent tour of northern Alaska, U.S. President Barack Obama will be appearing on a special upcoming episode of the Discovery channel hit show Running Wild with Bear Grylls. The president is expected to pick up all kinds of useful tricks for surviving in the unpredictable wild, which he hopes will translate into his navigation of the U.S. political arena. Bear reportedly instructed the POTUS on fire building, trapping of game, and how to fashion a sturdy economic platform out of rocks, sticks and leaves.
Also in political news, a new poll conducted by well-known conservative think-tank The Heritage Foundation, shows that roughly 65% of Republican voters believe that the President is, in fact, a Muslim, while 34% contend that he is not a U.S. citizen. Additionally, an overwhelming number seem to believe that Illegal Immigrants place an unfair economic burden on the rest of the nation, and that gay couples should be barred from entering into legal marriage. Further results are depicted on the graphic below:
Following the recent announcement by Secretary of State John Kerry, officially unveiling the complete U.S./Iran nuclear accord, Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump voiced his strong opposition through a rambling screed pockmarked with occasional self-congratulations as well as vague representations of his own knowledge of nuclear physics -drawing closely upon the knowledge of his own Uncle. The full transcript of Trump's remarks can be read below:
"Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."
Press agents covering the speech found Trump's aimless shucking and jiving to be quite insufferable. Renowned New York Times correspondent Paul Krugman made clear his utter disappointment to Trump's newly placed campaign manager Corey R. Lewandowski, vehemently complaining:

"I believe there is a stray hair in this word salad."
In a related story, Donald Trump received substantial jeering this week after confusing Iranian special forces referred to as "Quds" with the middle eastern ethnic minority known as the Kurds. Trump dismissed the flap, quipping, "Kurds, Quds...Potato, Potato...we've got a family to feed."
Following the hotly contested non-proliferation treaty with Iran, U. S. lawmakers are expressing fresh concerns over Russia's ongoing arms sales to burgeoning Islamic republic. Opponents are calling for a possible arms embargo, citing rising tensions in the region and the longstanding allegation that Iran is a prolific supporter of international terrorism. In response to this, Russian officials expressed concerns that U.S. arms sales to Iran may cut in on their own business.
"This very good, very good. Made in Oklahoma."
