Former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC), a Republican presidential candidate, said Sunday on “This Week” that state legislature will have to “tweak” abortion laws to avoid women having to carry nonviable pregnancies. Anchor Jonathan Karl said, “We had the Texas Supreme Court abortion occasion, really kind of a tragic case. Kate Cox, the Supreme Court ruled she could not have an abortion even though her doctor said it might jeopardize her ability to have children in the future and the fetus was almost certainly not going to survive. You disagreed with that decision by the Texas Supreme Court?”

You can't be too careful out there nowadays. It's really easy to call a religious person an offensive name. No one knows this better than the press. The mainstream media is very sensitive to different religions. They may be the very best experts in the field of religiony stuff. That's why they were careful to refer to Christians as "Easter worshipers" lately. You might not have ever heard that term used before, but that's because you don't know as much about religions as the media does. They're pros. We want to help you out. So we whipped up this handy...

President Trump tweeted he hopes that Democrats keep House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., in charge to help Republicans. "I certainly hope the Democrats do not force Nancy P out. That would be very bad for the Republican Party - and please let Cryin' Chuck stay!" he tweeted. Trump bragged about Republicans' record in special elections to replace lawmakers he appointed to his Cabinet, all of which have been GOP victories. The most recent race, in which Karen Handel beat Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff, was the most expensive House race in history. Many...

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Wednesday said he was willing to make tweaks to the landmark healthcare reform law enacted earlier this year over united Republican opposition. Reid, a veteran Democrat who survived a bitter contest in Tuesday's U.S. congressional elections, also said he was focused on extending middle-class tax cuts put in place under Republican former President George W. Bush, not extending tax cuts for the wealthy. "If there's some tweaking we need to do with the healthcare bill, I'm ready for some tweaking," Reid said in an interview on CNN, after Republicans captured the U.S. House of...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – It might be possible to modify mark-to-market accounting rules for U.S. banks facing steep writedowns of troubled assets without abandoning the underlying accounting standard, a senior Senate Democrat said. Sen. Christopher Dodd, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, told reporters on Wednesday evening after a panel hearing that at least one former bank regulator was discussing how to approach the difficult issue without "walking away from" mark-to-market standards. The issue of how to value distressed assets held by U.S. banks has been one of the most difficult challenges in constructing a bank rescue plan, according...

I was watching a TV program this last night, and one of the characters used an expression, that I am sure is a literary quote. I've tried searching the Web for it but no joy. Thought I'd check to see if it rang any bells with anyone here. The expression was: "Liberty tweaks Justice by the nose." Or possibly: "Liberty tweaks the nose of Justice." ...Anyone?...

40 Thousand volts, four thousand amperes, and over one hundred million watts squeezed into a cubic centimeter. YouÂ’d think that would be enough to vaporize just about anything, and it certainly doesnÂ’t seem like the kind of electricity youÂ’d want to apply to your body. But if our research continues to succeed as it has, years from now weÂ’ll be asking some cancer patients to do just that. And it might just save their lives. The trick is to apply that gargantuan jolt for only a few billionths of a second. ThatÂ’s so brief a time that the energy delivered...

Jennifer Granholm has plans for your taxes. She won’t be specific. She won’t spell it all out. All she’ll say is that your property taxes need a “tweak.” Jennifer Granholm is promising to “fix” Proposal A, the landmark proposal that cut property taxes and capped assessments. She says that all it really needs is a little “tweak.” But we know what that means, don’t we? With a liberal Democrat like Jennifer Granholm, Tweak=Hike
