DENVER — The Trump-Vance campaign has sent a letter to Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold demanding that the processing of many mail-in ballots in the state be temporarily halted. The letter, posted on Donald Trump’s campaign website, cited the recent incident where partial passwords connected to the state’s voting systems were posted on the Secretary of State’s website. “This disclosure directly violates the law and undermines the integrity of our elections,” the demand on the Trump campaign website said. The letter demanded that Griswold’s office immediately identify the counties that were affected and order a new trusted build. This...

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Ukrainian units locked in street battles with the Kremlin´s forces in a key northeastern Ukraine town have halted the Russian advance, military officials in Kyiv claimed Thursday, though a senior Moscow official said the frontline push had enough resources to keep going.

(CNSNews.com) - President Obama was "very disturbed" to learn that the Defense Department would not pay death benefits to the families of fallen soldiers, a White House spokesman said Wednesday. But if the Defense Department knew this several weeks ago, why didn't the president? When did President Obama learn about the problem? White House spokesman Jay Carney was asked that question at least six times on Wednesday, but he wouldn't or couldn't say.

Ingham County Circuit Judge Rosemary Aquillina ordered on Friday that Detroit’s bankruptcy be withdrawn, citing a concern that government employees’ pensions would be endangered by federal bankruptcy proceedings, The Detroit News reports. “It’s cheating, sir, and it’s cheating good people who work,” the judge told assistant Attorney General Brian Devlin on Friday, adding that she will ensure that President Barack Obama gets a copy of her order. “It’s also not honoring the president, who took [Detroit’s auto companies] out of bankruptcy.” At the same time, Aquillina voiced her confidence that Obama would ensure that pension guarantees were protected and honored....

Sacramento - -- California's spending boomed in recent years - from $38.9 billion in 1993 to $102.9 billion in 2008 - as lawmakers poured increasing amounts of money into state services. But a crash in revenue collection that began 19 months ago forced lawmakers in the past two years to make the deepest cuts to the state's discretionary fund in the history of the Golden State. Today, general fund spending stands at $84.5 billion and the state's per capita spending is $2,301 - down to what the state was spending per person 11 years ago, when adjusted for inflation, a...

ROCK HILL, S.C. - Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee called Tuesday for suspending immigration from countries that sponsor or harbor terrorists. Hitting the campaign trail in South Carolina's Jan. 19 primary, Huckabee sharpened his rhetoric on immigration and embraced a tougher measure than any of his rivals have so far. "There's a couple of things we're going to do differently," Huckabee told about 300 supporters in Rock Hill, shortly after arriving in the state from Michigan. "I say we ought to put a hiatus on people who come in here ... if they come from countries that sponsor and harbor...

TEHRAN, Iran - Iran said Sunday its nuclear activities have not halted or slowed down, rejecting reports that it has not significantly expanded its uranium enrichment program this summer as planned. "There has been no slowing down, no halt and no retreat. Our activities continue on the same basis we began our peaceful nuclear program," Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini told reporters. Hosseini was responding to speculation that the threat of more U.N. Security Council sanctions may have forced Iran to slow down its disputed uranium enrichment program. He also accused the U.S. of seeking to derail Iran's talks...

We'll quit if bribe inquiry halted, say US law chiefs By Francis Harris in Washington (Filed: 29/05/2006) Three of America's top law officers, among them the head of the FBI, have threatened to step down over alleged attempts to halt an investigation into congressional corruption. Alberto Gonzales, the attorney general, Paul McNulty, his deputy, and Robert Mueller, the FBI director, informed President George W Bush through intermediaries last week that they would resign rather than let the inquiry be blocked. Their stand marked the latest twist in a saga which began when 15 FBI agents raided the offices of William...

Those who lived it will never forget what they were doing 60 years ago this month, on the day Japan admitted defeat. For Americans, it was wild celebration in the streets of cities large and small. For Deli Brink Bloembergen, then 16, it was staring at a plane circling the prison camp where she and other Dutch civilians had been held by the Japanese, in what is now known as Indonesia. "A small plane with a red, white and blue circle flew low over our heads," says Bloembergen. Two men in the see-through cockpit made the "victory" sign. The war...

MILWAUKEE - The superintendent of Milwaukee schools halted a get-out-the-vote program involving students after complaints were raised about its link to a pro-Kerry organization. Superintendent William Andrekopoulos acted late Wednesday, citing a policy that prohibits the district from being a political advocate. His decision came a day after Republicans accused Democrats of using the students for political gain because the program was organized by the Wisconsin Citizen Action Fund, whose parent organization endorsed Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) for president. Students at 33 Milwaukee schools called voters and went door to door in minority neighborhoods and areas with...

The Schwarzenegger administration has quietly shut down virtually all expansion of California's state parks -- even land paid for with private donations, the Mercury News has learned. Saying the state cannot afford new rangers, fences, signs and maintenance, Schwarzenegger officials in the state Department of Finance are refusing to buy almost any new land or accept new scenic beaches, forests and historic sites into public ownership. The policy was put into place by the state Public Works Board, an obscure panel appointed by the governor that approves funding for state buildings, college classrooms, prisons, parks and other facilities. In March,...

Terror campaign halted by raid on militants, say Saudis By John R Bradley in Jeddah 22 July 2003 Sixteen suspected terrorists were caught as they were about to launch attacks on "key installations" through Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Interior Ministry announced yesterday. A massive cache of arms and explosives was also discovered, and militants who escaped were being hunted by security forces, the ministry added. The arrests came during a three-day sweep on farms, rest-stops and private homes in the capital, Riyadh, the nearby region of Qassim and unspecified locations in the Eastern Prov-ince, home to almost all of Saudi...

WASHINGTON - A temporary rule allowing some road-building in remote areas of national forests will not be renewed, the Bush administration said Wednesday. The decision effectively reinstates a Clinton-era rule blocking development on 58 million acres of federal land. "Our intention is ... to let the interim directive expire," Agriculture Undersecretary Mark Rey said Wednesday. Environmentalists said the decision strengthens the rule put in place during the Clinton administration's final days and later upheld by a federal appeals court. "It means the roadless rule will become the operative law for the Forest Service," said Mike Anderson of The Wilderness Society....
