On Monday gold prices were surging, rallying more than 2.5% to nearly $1,200 an ounce – the highest level since October for the yellow metal.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Coveted but coy, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is staying painstakingly neutral in the Democratic presidential contest for now, frustrating supporters of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders while awaiting the right moment to lay her considerable chits on the table.

Real-estate mogul Donald Trump had former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) on his mind at a Monday-morning campaign event.

Trump responded to a question about political corruption by lighting into Bush for trashing him on television.

"He's a total stiff — Jeb Bush," Trump said. "Here's a guy, honestly ... if he weren't in government, you wouldn't hire him to do anything, OK? You wouldn't hire him. If you had a company, you wouldn't even hire him."

Trump continued:

The Sundance Film Festival may have wrapped, but it speaks to the depth of quality programming that there are still little gems to be discovered, and one to keep an eye out for is the documentary, "Mapplethorpe: Look At The Pictures." From directors Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey ("Party Monster," "Inside Deep Throat"), it's a fresh look at the boundary-pushing and sometimes-controversial work of famed photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, one they hope shines a new light on the artist. "The controversy... Читать дальше...
