    In the wake of the shootings of police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge, Donald Trump has been calling himself “the law and order candidate.” The roots of that slogan reach back to Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon in the 1960s. Melania Trump will be the headline speaker Monday at the Republican Convention in Cleveland. Trump has had problems courting women voters. Conservative women at the Republican National Convention share their feelings about Trump. New York Magazine is reporting that Roger Ailes, the man who turned Fox News into a powerhouse, is on his way out as its leader. Really? If so, what’s next for America’s favorite conservative news outlet? Documentary filmmaker Joe Berlinger and self-help guru Tony Robbins talk about Tony Robbins: I am Not Your Guru. Finally, after 14 years of work, writer and artist Dennis Cooper’s Google-managed blog has suddenly disappeared completely: like it never existed. Google has given no explanation.
