    Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the 2024 Republican candidates willing to support former President Donald Trump if he was the nominee didn’t “have the moral compass you need to be the leader of the greatest nation in the world.” Reacting to GOP 2024 hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy, Kaine said, “What I just heard was the complete lack of a moral compass.” He continued, “If you are unwilling to say that the behavior of Donald Trump trying to overturn the peaceful transfer of power is a disqualifier. If you pledge despite that to vote for him,...

    A GOP mega-donor said that he would no longer support former President Trump after his announcement of a third presidential bid in 2024 on Tuesday night. Stephen Schwarzman, the CEO and co-founder of the investment firm Blackstone, told Axios in a statement that the Republican Party should nominate someone else who will represent a new generation of leaders. “America does better when its leaders are rooted in today and tomorrow, not today and yesterday,” he said. “It is time for the Republican Party to turn to a new generation of leaders and I intend to support one of them in...

    Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that he would not support former President Donald Trump if he ran for president in 2024. Anchor George Stephanopoulos asked, “You said the media loves to talk about Donald Trump, and perhaps that’s fair, it’s Donald Trump himself, and he’s planning to announce for presidency on Tuesday. Is that a good idea?” Sununu said, “For him, no. I think it’s a terrible idea for him.”

    Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Sunday called Republicans who support Russian President Vladimir Putin "lonely voices" within the GOP. Appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation," McConnell called for further direct assistance to be given to Ukraine, including weapons systems. He also called for a change in attitude, saying the U.S. should approach the situation with the belief that Ukraine could win the conflict, considering how long it has fended off a Russian takeover.

    On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” House Majority Chief Deputy Whip Dan Kildee (D-MI) stated that President Trump’s behavior is pushing many Democrats to support impeachment and his behavior is reminiscent of “some of the darkest moments of the Nixon administration.” Host Wolf Blitzer asked, “Your Democratic colleague from Virginia, Congressman Gerry Connolly, says the president’s actions…are ‘pushing a lot of Democrats into the impeachment camp.’ Do you think that’s true?”

  • Retired generals and admirals urge Congress to reject Iran nuclear deal

    Washington Post ^ | August 26 , 2015 | Carol Morello
    A group of nearly 200 retired generals and admirals sent a letter to Congress on Wednesday urging lawmakers to reject the Iran nuclear agreement, which they say threatens national security. The letter is the latest in a blizzard of missives petitioning Congress either to support or oppose the agreement with Iran, which would lift sanctions if Iran pared back its nuclear program. Letters have come from ad hoc groupings of rabbis, nuclear scientists, arms-control and nonproliferation experts — and now, retired senior military officers, many of whom have worked in the White House during various administrations dating to the 1980s.

    CAIRO (Reuters) - An Egyptian disciplinary court ordered 41 judges into compulsory retirement on Saturday for supporting the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, judicial sources said, the latest move in a sweeping crackdown on political dissent. The government has implemented a harsh crackdown on Islamists as well as secular political opponents since then army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ousted Islamist President Mohamed Mursi in July 2013 following mass protests against his rule. The Disciplinary Council headed by judge Nabil Zaki did not immediately release the reason for its decision, but the judicial sources said 31 of the judges were sent into compulsory...

So are the stars who say they support the Occupy Wall Street movement some of the cause’s heroes, or are they hypocrites? Producer and hip hop mogul Russell Simmons, who brought West to the protests at Liberty Square/Zuccotti...

    SYMPATHISING with a terrorist organisation is now a "thought crime" in Australia, say human rights lawyers concerned about the use of anti-terrorism laws against Gold Coast-based doctor Mohammed Haneef. They warn the case against Haneef, an Indian national who worked at Gold Coast Hospital and yesterday became the first person to be charged in Australia with "recklessly" supporting a terrorist organisation, leaves thousands of people open to similar charges if they show even "a minute level of support to a terrorist organisation". Haneef was charged after leaving his mobile phone SIM card with two cousins allegedly involved in the recent...
