White supremacists were "directly responsible" for 18 out of 34 U.S. extremist-related deaths in 2017, the ADL said. Islamic extremists, by comparison, were only responsible for nine deaths in America.

Last year’s share of white supremacist killings represents a jump from 2016, when such groups accounted for nine homicides.

New America counted five murders by far-right extremists in 2017, nine by Islamic extremists, and three by black nationalists.

Either way, extremist killings represent only a fraction of the total homicides in the U.S., though they tend to garner more media coverage and have an outsize impact on public debate.

Such was the case with Heather Heyer, the counter-protestor killed by James Alex Fields Jr. at last summer’s “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville. Her death ignited a national discussion about far-right groups.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the change less than a week after President Donald Trump reportedly questioned in an Oval Office meeting why the United States would want to take in immigrants from Haiti and African nations, referring to them as “shithole” countries. Trump has denied using that word.

DHS said in a regulatory filing that it was removing Haiti from lists of more than 80 countries whose citizens can be granted H-2A and H-2B visas, given to seasonal workers in agriculture and other industries.

It cited what it said were “high levels of fraud and abuse” by Haitians with the visas, and a “high rate of overstaying the terms” of their visas.

A DHS report published last year stated that Haitians on a variety of non-immigrant visas, including H-2As and H-2Bs, had a roughly 40 percent visa overstay rate in the 2016 fiscal year

Sixty-five Haitians entered the United States on H-2A visas, given for agricultural work, in the 2016 fiscal year, according to DHS data, and 54 Haitians were granted H-2A visas by the State Department between March and November 2017. The number of Haitians entering in 2016 on H-2B visas, which are for non-agricultural seasonal work, was more than zero but too low to report, according to DHS.

Stormy Daniels said, ... that her relationship with now-President Trump was more than a single hookup and that the real-estate mogul was calling her “at least three times a month” in between inviting her to events. She said, “If I was his wife and I found out that my husband stuck his dick in a hundred girls, I would be less mad about that than the fact that he went to dinner and had like this ongoing relationship.” Daniels also says she made fun of Trump’s infamous hairdo, asking why he didn’t have any desire to “upgrade” it. “He said that he thought that if he cut his hair or changed it, that he would lose his power and his wealth,” she said. “And I laughed hysterically at him.”
