The image of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Chief of Staff Gen. Hulusi Akar sitting next to him is more expressive than anything else of the tremors involving the government and the military in Turkey. Dressed not in military fatigues but in an elegantly tailored civilian suit, Akar is a subservient-looking general — which has to be the case in any democratic regime, indeed — with a troubled look and a nervous expression on his face, reflecting the increasing unease in the higher echelons of power. While the fateful date of April 16 — the day the constitutional amendments that could give Erdogan extraordinary executive powers and transform him...

To get this out to you right away and because Concetta has been non-stop on the phone, she has asked me to send this email out to let everyone know about the decision to postpone the Convention until sometime in October, of course not to conflict with the Western Gala. The situation in Charlotte is very unfortunate, however not as bad as the media is portraying. Our hotel is not in Center City, it’s about 6 or more city blocks away from the location of the incidents last night. That being said, with the uncertainty of what might play out...

McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna is asking to postpone a Feb. 29 trial setting in the first Twin Peaks shootout case, saying that analysis of some evidence likely won’t be completed for a year. In a 19-page motion for continuance filed late Tuesday afternoon, Reyna asked 54th State District Judge Matt Johnson to postpone the engaging in organized criminal activity trial of Matthew Alan Clendennen, 30, a member of the Scimitars motorcycle group from Hewitt. Clendennen was arrested the day of the shootout that left nine people dead and at least 20 others wounded. "As our Legislature has mandated,...

Canada remains committed to taking in 25,000 Syrian refugees but will only welcome 10,000 of them by year's end, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government said Tuesday, according to AFP. The Liberal government, which had pledged to take in the full number of refugees this year, said another 15,000 would now arrive in 2016, by the end of February. The delay follows criticisms that Ottawa was moving too fast amid security concerns in the aftermath of deadly attacks in Paris. "Canadians have said do this right and if it takes a little longer to do it, then take the time," Immigration...

Political analysts say Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyhau is making desperate maneuvers to try and prevent MK Reuven Rivlin (Likud-Beytenu) from being elected president in the coming weeks. The Knesset began its summer session Monday, a session that will focus on the process of electing a president, as Shimon Peres's term nears its end. Peres's term ends in July, and a successor is to be elected by the Knesset between 30 and 90 days before then. Netanyahu reportedly is still trying to bring about a six-month postponement of the election, after failing to do so until now. Sources close to him...

This is a grass-roots effort to petition the U.S. Supreme Court, the Senate, the House of Representatives, the President, the U.S. Dept. of Justice, the Federal Election Commission, all affected political parties, the state officials responsible for overseeing elections and other interested parties to postpone the election because of thousands of felonies committed in the acts of rampant voter registration fraud across the nation perpetrated by agents of ACORN as a purposeful criminal conspiracy to deprive American citizens of their voters' rights and their rights to due process under the U.S. Constitution in order to steal the election for Barack...

JERUSALEM - The ruling Palestinian party, Fatah, failed to hold scheduled primaries Friday, blaming infighting and extortion attempts by militants. While the delay was not expected to affect the timing of parliamentary elections Jan. 25, it could further alienate a young guard hoping to bring new blood into the party. Fatah was trying to unite to face the strong challenge of the Islamic Hamas group at the polls. Ahmed Diek, coordinator of the Fatah elections committee, said the 11 voting districts in the West Bank and five in the Gaza Strip still have until Nov. 25 to hold primaries. Party...

SACRAMENTO (AP) - Secretary of State Kevin Shelley, scheduled to testify under oath Thursday before a legislative committee, received a reprieve Wednesday when legislative leaders pushed the hearing back to Feb. 22. Although legislative leaders said independent counsels appointed by both parties needed more time to study the case, there was renewed speculation that Shelley may resign before the new hearing date. Wednesday's postponement would provide three additional weeks to negotiate conditions of stepping down, which a handful of Democratic lawmakers and most of the state's major newspapers have asked Shelley to do. Critics have said he is no longer...
