For Donald Trump the Constitution is yuge...and a lot bigger than it actually is. Trump told House Republicans Thursday he will make sure to protect the Constitution if he becomes president -- including a non-existent Article XII. The presumptive GOP nominee, who was on Capitol Hill Thursday to charm rank-and-file Republicans and build party unity, told members he would be the "best constitutional president ever," according to Rep. Reid Ribble, R-Wisconsin, a Trump skeptic.

Good Morning AmericaThe 15-year-old son of Alton Sterling, a black man who was shot and killed by white police officers in Baton Rouge, La., wept uncontrollably and cried “Daddy!” this morning as his mother spoke to reporters about the deadly confrontation, which was captured on video. “He [her son Cameron Sterling] had to watch this, as this was put all over the outlets,” Quinyetta McMillon said. “As a mother, I have now been forced to raise a son who is going to remember what happened to his father.” Alton Sterling, 37, was killed early Tuesday in a shooting that was captured on cellphone video. In the video, two officers appear to struggle with Sterling and slam him to the ground. One man seems to yell “gun.” Then at least two shots are fired while the officers are close to Sterling. Baton Rouge police said the incident began when uniformed officers responded to a disturbance call from someone who said a black man who was selling CDs threatened him with a gun. Officers approached Sterling in the parking lot of the convenience store and “an altercation between Sterling and the officers ensued,” police said. He was shot during the altercation and died at the scene, police said. The coroner for East Baton Rouge Parish said Sterling died from multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and back. Officers Blane Salamoni, a four-year veteran, and Howie Lake II, a three-year veteran, were placed on leave in connection with Sterling’s death, according to a Baton Rouge police news release. Both officers work in the Uniform Patrol Division. (GMA) See more news-related photo galleries and follow us on Yahoo News Photo Tumblr .
Yahoo News PhotoDear Amy: For 25 years I have been best friends with a woman I’ll call “Tracy.” Tracy is 35 years old, and she has Down Syndrome. Tracy is high-functioning, as is her longtime boyfriend, “Tyler.” Amy, they have been together for five years. They have lived together for the past three years, and recently announced their engagement. Everyone on both sides of their families is happy for them - at least we all thought so. Since Tracy made the announcement a few months ago, their families and I have been getting questions and comments about it that are so rude, stupid and downright ignorant, it’s not even funny. A brief example: “It’s nice you’re letting them play pretend like that.” “Is it going

Roger Federer's bid for a record eighth Wimbledon title was cut short in the semifinals Friday by Milos Raonic, a big-serving Canadian who came from two-sets-to-one down to win in five and reach his first Grand Slam final. Raonic beat the seven-time champion 6-3, 6-7 (3), 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 on Centre Court, handing the Swiss great his first loss ever in the Wimbledon semifinals after 10 straight wins. "This one clearly hurts because I felt I could have had it," Federer said.
Associated PressIn Goldman's view, high pay in the oil and gas industry will make it possible for the oilfield services companies to attract the 80,000 to 100,000 employees the bank believes energy firms will need. The industry's staffing needs would absorb about 8 to 11 percent of the unemployed population in energy-producing states, according to Goldman. Further, Goldman argues that many oilfield services companies have retained experienced staff throughout the wave of layoffs, and "in many cases" shuffled them into low-ranking positions with an eye toward "promoting" them once oil price recover and activity ramps up. But Raymond James believes pay may not be enough to attract workers back to remote oil fields.
CNBC.comAlthough Lyanna Stark’s screen time on Game of Thrones only amounts to a few minutes, her presence on the show is undeniably strong.
