  • Trump advocated for Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner's return to New York: Report

    Washington Examiner ^ | Nov 21, 2017 | Naomi Lim
    President Trump believes first daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner, both high-profile White House advisers, should return to New York, according to a report. “He keeps pressuring them to go,” a source close to Kushner told Vanity Fair, referring to the president, in an article published Tuesday. Trump is reportedly advocating for the move, in part, so the couple's brand can avoid further damage inflicted by negative press coverage from the political scene. The suggestion comes as pressure mounts on the Trump administration from special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe. Kushner, once charged with enhancing government efficiency, improving relations...

    President Trump said Tuesday that he believed lawmakers who paid settlements to sexual harassment accusers should be outed. 'I do – I really do,' Trump told reporters on the South Lawn as he was leaving the White House to spend Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago. Rep. Jackie Speier, a California Democrat, said last Tuesday that about $15 million had been paid out to victims of harassers from the House of Representatives over the last ten to fifteen years. Speier didn't disclose the names of the members, nor did she name the two men – besides saying one is a Democrat and one...

    Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said President Donald Trump referring to her by a "racist slur" would not stop her from criticizing him. "Donald Trump thinks if he's going to start every one of these tweets to me with some kind of racist slur here, that he's going to shut me up. It didn't work in the past, it's not going to work in the future. Give it up," Warren said Monday on CBS ...

  • [Catholic Caucus] Saint Cæcilia, Virgin and Martyr (Gueranger)

    11/22/2017 4:15:27 AM PST · by CMRosary
    Red Double CÆCILIA united in her veins the blood of kings with that of Rome’s greatest heroes. At the time of the first preaching of the Gospel, more than one ancient patrician family had seen its direct line become extinct. But the adoptions and alliances, which under the Republic had knit more closely the great families by linking them all to the most illustrious among them, formed as it were a common fund of glory, which, even in the days of decline, was passed on intact to the survivors of the aristocracy. It has now been demonstrated by the...
  • What is the danger that Roy Moore poses to the Senate GOP?

    The American Spectator ^ | Nov 22, 2017 | Elfego Baca
    ...Judge Roy Moore will do what is right for Alabama and for America. And when Majority Leader McConnell calls for a unanimous vote to declare the Senate to be in a Pro Forma Session, Senator Moore will not mislabel it. If Congress is in recess, and no serious business is being conducted, he will vote to call it a recess. You see, Congress has these “pro forma” sessions that pretend Congress is still in session so the President cannot make any recess appointments to any position. But I suspect the key to these votes is that they have been unanimous....

    The Tuesday trial session involved continued arguments about the "threat assessment" followed by cross- examination of government lawyer Terry Petrie.

Many documents have been released for thi trial including some that are redacted and not allowed to be read out loud in court..... When lawyer Terry Petrie was under cross examination, Ryan Bundy held the courtroom in rapt attention. The jury, judge and spectators listened intently while Bundy...

    Lincoln businessman Todd Watson announced Tuesday he will mount a "conservative Constitutionalist" challenge to Sen. Deb Fischer in the 2018 Republican Senate primary election. "Our current U.S. Senate needs a makeover," Watson said in a news release before making his official announcement on Facebook. "Congressional winning from a camp that is corrupted, compromised and lacks conviction on the inside will not happen," he said. Watson was critical of Fischer's role as a member of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's leadership team, arguing that "health care, securing the border, spending cuts, defunding Planned Parenthood and reforming immigration were always impossible" because...

    PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The FBI has reason to believe U.S. Rep. Bob Brady unlawfully concealed a $90,000 payment made by his campaign to get an opponent to quit a 2012 primary race, according to court documents that confirm the Philadelphia Democrat is under investigation in a widening campaign finance probe. In unsealed court documents made public Monday, the FBI requested a search warrant and has obtained data from an email account belonging to Brady. The FBI agent who filed the warrant wrote that there is probable cause Brady violated contribution limits and produced false documents, and there is evidence that...
  • Calgary Muslim men say CSIS (Canadian Security and Intelligence Service) wrongfully targeted them

    Two Muslim men from Calgary say they were willing to assist Canada's security agents with terror-related inquiries until CSIS started hounding them and shared their personal information with foreign states. Speaking exclusively to CBC News, Yacine Meziane and Abderrahmane Ghanem say CSIS and the RCMP wrongfully lumped them in with a cluster of Calgary jihadis who left to fight with ISIS in Iraq and Syria. They say were subjected to surveillance that quickly turned into harassment and eventually escalated into a full-scale disruption of their lives at home and abroad. "My life was ripped apart," Meziane said. Neither CSIS nor...

    Ratko Mladić, the former commander of the Bosnian Serb army and one-time fugitive from international justice, has been sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity by a UN tribunal at The Hague. More than 20 years after the Srebrenica massacre and his first indictment by the international criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), the soldier nicknamed the “butcher of Bosnia” has been found guilty of of multiple offences. As he entered the courtroom, Mladić gave a broad smile and thumbs up to the cameras – a gesture that infuriated relatives of...

    GOP Sen. Lamar Alexander told CNBC that he will vote again for an amnesty, even though his vote for the Democratic-led 2013 amnesty bill helped demolish his establishment GOP peers during the 2016 primaries and election. “We need a legal immigration system, and we need to put that behind us,” he told CNBC’s John Harwood. “We tried to do it in 2013; I voted for it. It would’ve solved many of the problems … I would vote for it again.”

It is late and I am tired, but I’ve got one eye on the road and one eye on the dashboard indicator light signaling that the Chevy Tahoe in which I am traveling has low tire pressure. What would happen if this...
