Input: But practical policy questions of housing and integrating the rest remain submerged by increasingly fearful discussions of Islam — propelled by regular news coverage associating the religion with terrorist attacks, sexual assaults and civil wars — and by an absence of historical experience with Muslims among the population, combined with traumatic memories of the country’s past under Soviet rule. For nearly 50 years, the country had no control over its migration policy, leading to a large Russian-speaking minority. With a tiny minority of Muslims to join the dialogue, the public debate has splayed outward to the extremes. Leons Taivans, a religious studies professor at the University of Latvia in Riga, has reflected the broader fears in the region about the influx of Muslims, especially on the far right, by predicting “Islamic invasions.” Photo

Input: Brian Fallon, a spokesman for the Clinton campaign, defended Mills, noting that the interviews took place during "personal time" and "the idea that this poses a conflict of interest is absurd.” But Cornyn called the recent reports and leaked emails the latest in a string of "unacceptable" behavior." It violates the commitment Secretary Clinton made to Congress and the Executive Branch following her nomination to be Secretary of State," Cornyn wrote." That and her proven record of extreme carelessness with national security warrant a careful examination of Secretary Clinton’s other conduct, and that of her staff." Cornyn is asking Lynch if the CNN report is accurate and wants to know when and why the FBI recommended the DOJ "open a case and pursue criminal charges" tied to the foundation.

Input: They've exceeded the annual average of police shooting deaths over the past 10 years, 53. And this year's total is higher than the number of firearms-related police deaths in 2015. According to the fund, firearms were responsible for 41 of 123 officer fatalities in 2015, one of the safest years for officers on record. The decade's highest total came in 2011, with 73 officers shot dead. This year's shooting deaths include an officer on her first day on the job and a sheriff's corporal who was about to retire.

Omalu, whose story was famously told in the movie “Concussion,” made the suggestion on Twitter, writing that he advised campaign officials to “perform toxicologic analysis of Ms. Clinton’s blood.” I must advice the Clinton campaign to perform toxicologic analysis of Ms. Clinton's blood.

Uvais Sharapudinov and Akhmed Dengayev Both men came from the village of Novosasitli in Dagestan and were part of the same militant group as Saadu Sharapudinov (see main story), according to a former local official who said he acted as a mediator in the case of Saadu Sharapudinov. The former official said Dengayev and Uvais Sharapudinov (no relation to Saadu) agreed a deal with the local FSB to stop fighting in exchange for avoiding arrest and shortly afterwards decided to leave Russia. The former official said he helped them to get passports. Every Russian passport has to be approved by the FSB.

Liz Spayd, the public editor at The New York Times, where coverage of ties between Clinton’s State Department and her charitable foundation has attracted criticism from liberals, is dismissing complaints about a false equivalency.

Input: It’s easy to get caught up in symbolism. Apologies are indeed important, but, like any other symbolic action, they are significantly less important than actual tangible action. There has been drastically more discussion of apologizing — an immaterial action — than there has been of not wasting $ 1 trillion on new nukes that should never again be used, lest hundreds of thousands more civilians be slaughtered. Yet this does not come as much of a surprise, considering how the commentariat expresses time and time again that it is much more concerned with obediently echoing ruling-class rhetoric, policing “civility” and stifling dissentious discourses than it is with the trifles of actual substantive political policy. Calling for symbolic action like apologies for crimes committed more than seven decades ago is within the parameters of acceptable debate.

Input: The Post’s Griff Witte and Michael Birnbaum wrote at the time: Although the inquiry stops short of conclusively blaming Putin — noting the opaque nature of Kremlin politics — it finds that there is “strong circumstantial evidence that the Russian State was responsible for Mr. Litvinenko’s death.” And citing the high-stakes nature of an operation to assassinate a former KGB officer on British soil, it finds that the operation would probably not have gone ahead without Putin’s direct approval. Omalu, famously played by Will Smith in “Concussion,” has studied and obtained a number of degrees. Born in Nigeria, he became a U.S. citizen in 2015. He became known for the tenacity with which he pursued the deaths of several former Pittsburgh Steelers during his time in the city’s medical examiner’s office.

Out of the hundreds of Epstein’s victims that came forward, none of the girls ever named Trump or even spoke of him. Why suddenly, weeks before the election and years after the alleged assault, is this “Jane Doe” magically appearing? According to The Guardian, “Lawsuits accusing Donald Trump of sexually assaulting a child in the 1990’s appear to have been orchestrated by an eccentric anti-Trump campaigner with a record of making outlandish claims about celebrities.” Advertisement

Input: While he has talked tougher than his Democratic rival about the need to make America’s foes “respect” America again and has condemned her embrace of the Iran nuclear deal and recognition of Cuba – two areas where Mr. Trump appears more hawkish than Mrs. Clinton -- there is less practical difference between them than it may seem. Mr. Trump has vowed to renegotiate the nuclear deal, though how he would do that is unclear, and has endorsed toughening sanctions on Iran to secure concessions. But he has not echoed Republican Senator Ted Cruz’s vow to tear up the agreement on “day one.” Nor is he likely to walk back recognition of Cuba. While Mr. Trump will have to cope with his myriad foreign policy faux pas and flip flops, Hillary Clinton will have her own challenges. Whatever her current views, she has little to show for her years as secretary of state.

One of the officers wrote on the front page of the book: “From Adolph Hitlers [sic] apartment in Munich on May 2 1945.” The book, in which Hitler outlined his vision of the “thousand-year Reich” and also policy of exterminating whole peoples in Europe, is on sale at $ 12,000 -15,000. Except the Mein Kampf copy, several other artifacts are to be auctioned off, including Hitler’s dessert forks and plates as well as personal cocktail and water glasses.

Input: Indeed, they acted much as banks had done prior to the 1929 crash and the first Glass-Steagall Act: They made short-term loans to securities firms and other high-flying financial institutions — firms like Bear Sterns and Lehman Brothers — that used short-term borrowed funds to make highly speculative investments in bad mortgage products and other high-risk financial instruments. The results were predictable and catastrophic: In essence, a replay of the Wall Street binge of the 1920s, culminating in a crash much like that of 1929. Now, as noted above, there are other shadow banking activities additional to those of MMMFs — derivatives writing and trading, for example, like that done by AIG before 2008, and speculative (not to mention exploitative) securitizable mortgage lending like that done by Countrywide in the same period. Moreover, many of the most dangerous shadow banking operations were — and still are — conducted by institutions that are affiliated with ordinary depository institutions under single holding company structures, structures that the original Glass-Steagall Act prohibited and which President Bill Clinton and Secretary Summers pushed to allow. For precisely these reasons, the updated Glass-Steagall proposals pushed by Sanders, Warren, McCain and others is a 21st-century Glass-Steagall, designed to end or to regulate today's shadow banking and conglomeration just as the original Glass-Steagall ended the last century's shadow banking and conglomeration.

Input: WikiLeaks, the group that released the DNC emails, recently offered a $ 20,000 reward for information on the death of a DNC staff member, Seth Rich, who was shot to death outside his Washington, D.C., home July 10. News that WikiLeaks is offering an award raised questions that he may have been connected to the hacked emails, but Washington, D.C., police have said that there is no evidence that his death was connected to the DNC hack. The victim’s mother told NBC Washington that police initially told her that her son may have been the victim of an attempted robbery. Police later backtracked on that theory, with the New York Daily News quoting police as saying that, “there is no immediate indication that robbery was a motive in this attack.” The victim’s body showed signs of a significant struggle, and the assailants did not take his watch, wallet, phone or credit cards. Gizmodo reported that authorities have not yet been able to determine if the DNC email hack was part of standard espionage or if the Russians are deliberately attempting to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Input: Same as last time w/ Bernie. Unacceptable!” At the Republican convention in Cleveland, the longtime Republican activist and current Trump ally Roger Stone told me that Trump would appear as planned and “debate circles around Hillary Clinton,” as he had with his opponents in the primaries. A month later, news reports said that the ousted founder of Fox News, Roger Ailes, would be helping Trump prepare for the debates. Obviously, everything about the Trump campaign has been improvisational, and he may recalculate until the last minute as to whether he has more to gain or lose by showing up. Something roughly similar has happened before.

Input: They will want to see how far they can bend the rules," she said in the speech." That wo n’t work if I’m in the White House." To show her seriousness, the former secretary of state suggested deploying additional U.S. forces to the Persian Gulf region and recommended that Congress “close any gaps” in the existing sanctions to punish Iran for any current or future instances of human rights abuses and support for terror. Although the nuclear agreement allows for additional sanctions that are unrelated to Iran’s nuclear program, it also requires parties to avoid action “inconsistent with the letter, spirit and intent” of the deal. Since July, a handful of senators from both parties have said they are drafting new sanctions laws.

After a shoot-out, the cops recovered a Smith & Wesson handgun, a Llama handgun, a Smith & Wesson M&P assault rifle, and a DPMS Panther Arms assault rifle. At the National Tracing Center, they figured out where the guns came from, as well as who bought them — the slain assailants. Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, had purchased the handguns legally between three and eight years previously at Annie's Get Your Gun, an FFL in Corona, California. Farook and Malik were discovered to have posted an oath of allegiance to the Islamic State on Facebook just before the attack began.

Every Republican office holder from GOP vice presidential pick Mike Pence — who often calls Trump "this good man" -- to vulnerable senators running for re-election will now face the same question: How can you stand with a nominee who would say such a thing? Sen. Kelly Ayotte, a New Hampshire Republican running for re-election who stumbled this week over the question of whether Trump represented a good role model for children, quickly condemned Trump's statement." His statements are totally inappropriate and offensive," Ayotte said. Sen. Pat Toomey, a vulnerable Pennsylvania Republican, tweeted that Trump's comments were "outrageous and unacceptable."

Input: Trump would have been better off just conceding the loss from the outset and spending the general-election season going up in flames, showing up at debates guzzling martinis and wearing a lampshade on his head, directing daily tirades at cancer kids and nuns, playing the election like an Andy Kaufman prank. Instead, he vacillated wildly, trying in one moment to look "presidential" before reversing course seconds later to purge his staff and go on politically destructive rampages. These manic-depressive episodes caused him to plummet in the polls and ultimately left him on the maximally absurd strategic track: trying to right the ship and win back the political middle under the direction of Bannon, an infamous idiot, extremist and Internet conspiracy theorist whose ex-wife claimed in court filings that he "didn't want [his kids] to go to school with Jews." Trump as Eliza Doolittle and Bannon as Professor Higgins is surely the dumbest casting of Pygmalion ever tried. By late August, the Trump-Bannon re-brand was well underway.

Input: WASHINGTON A Romanian hacker nicknamed "Guccifer" who helped expose the existence of a private email domain Hillary Clinton used when she was U.S. secretary of state was sentenced on Thursday to 52 months in prison by a federal court in Alexandria, Virginia. Marcel Lazar, 44, who used the alias online, had pleaded guilty in May to charges including unauthorized access to a protected computer and aggravated identity theft after being extradited from Romania. Lazar's public defender, Shannon Quill, was not immediately available for comment. Lazar has said in interviews he breached Clinton's private server at her home in Chappaqua, New York, but law enforcement and national security officials say that claim is meritless.

I saw two friends hurl their rocks at once, high, weak, arcing throws that burst up through street-light-yellow, low-hanging branches. I told an African-American kid wearing an elaborate Darth Vaderish multi-mask arrangement that this made him look like he was up to no good and aggravated the ambient white-privileged notion of the protesters as thugs out to make trouble. He sweetly agreed, but then (dashing off) said that, still, the protesters “have to do what we have to do.” They were so young, mostly peaceful, but angered by the hateful rhetoric addressed at their communities, and their disdain for Trump morphed too easily into disrespect for the police, a group of whom, when all was over, huddled in a bank doorway, bathed in sweat, a couple of them taking a knee, football style, and when their helmets came off it was clear that they’d been scared, too, and I imagined them later that night, in darkened living rooms, reviewing the night, assessing how they’d done.

Stung by the criticism, the State Department fired back. In a readout of the telephone call between Kerry and Cavosoglu, the department said Kerry told his fellow diplomat," public insinuations or claims about any role by the United States in the failed coup attempt are utterly false and harmful to our bilateral relations." Kerry reiterated U.S. support for Turkey's democratically elected government, according to the State Department readout, and urged authorities to respect the rule of law and safeguard civilian life as they respond to the coup attempt. Kerry also said Turkey needed to respect due process as it investigates those it believes were involved in the plot.

Input: In a 2014 interview, as is well known, he called the group a “jayvee team.” More recently, he has come up with a new analogy. ISIS, the president has explained to his advisers, is like the Joker in the Batman movie The Dark Knight. When the Joker started decapitating American citizens, the president abandoned his policy of non-intervention in Syria. But his low-intensity air campaign against ISIS has conspicuously failed to destroy the organization. “One of the top goals of the American national-security apparatus in Obama’s last year,” we learn, is to assassinate the “so-called caliph of the Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.” Well, the strategy worked with bin Laden, right?

Of these new payments, US officials allege, $ 330 m was paid into the Swiss account they say was controlled by Low, on the basis of a request by Obaid – who is identified in the US legal complaint as “PetroSaudi CEO”. Emails and bank records seen by the Guardian suggest that in the nine months from September 2010, Obaid transferred $ 77 m from his Swiss JP Morgan account to his PetroSaudi co-founder, Prince Turki bin Abdullah.

Input: The man who had formerly been the face of corruption and a major impetus for a bloody revolution was now president. But beyond his role as an consultant to Yanukovych, The New York Times reports that Manafort was secretly earmarked for nearly $ 13 million in payments from the Yanukovych regime — which was closely allied with Russia and Putin — between 2007 and 2012. The hand-written and recently exposed ledgers suggest that Manafort continued to receive payouts well after Yanukovych had won the election, but anti-corruption investigators are not yet sure if Manafort actually received the payments.

Input: In fact, Clinton's emails suggest she even asked members of her State Department staff to facilitate a Norwegian donation to a foundation project that was hosted by the United Nations, the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves. The clean cookstoves project served as a clear example of the blurred lines between Clinton's foundation and State Department work. In 2010, the secretary of state herself took the stage at the glitzy annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative and announced the State Department's commitment to the clean cookstoves alliance, which sought to reduce dependence on cookstoves for heating and cooking in developing countries. Led by Clinton, the Obama administration poured $ 105 million into the clean cookstoves project. As a senator, Clinton had reportedly written a letter urging the Department of Health and Human Services to approve Merck's human papillomavirus vaccine in 2005.

Input: While business leaders, especially those leading the financial firms, were generally against the measure, the decision was politically popular with Democrats who blamed Wall Street for the recession. Throughout the appearances, Clinton takes a more pragmatic approach towards relegation Wall Street, a departure -- at least in tone -- from the more populist rhetoric she used during the Democratic primary." There should be no bank too big to fail and no individual too big to jail," Clinton said during the fourth Democratic debate in January. But the speeches offer no dramatic differences between what Clinton said publicly, as Sanders and other liberal Democrats suggested they might during the Democratic primary.

Input: In the expo area of the gun range, a curious shopper could find a fully automatic M-16 with a transferable license for $ 26,000. Or if that was too pricey, an Uzi for $ 9,000. (Although American citizens have been prohibited from buying fully automatic weapons since the Reagan administration, machine guns that were already in private hands before the ban was passed were grandfathered in, and those licenses were made transferable.) So for buyers with the money (and without a felony on their records), fully automatic weapons were available as investments at Knob Creek. The value of weapons on display at the range was in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, from the vintage European guns to a giant Civil War-era cannon that made its presence known with a thundering boom and a giant cloud of white smoke.

He then left them to rot in captivity for 3 months in a foreign country. Finally, after 3 months of heated battles, the Syrian Arab Army was able to free the village of Kessab, and at the same time, the Turkish government transported the kidnapped elderly Syrians to Beirut, Lebanon by air, and then they came to Latakia, Syria by bus. They were at last reunited with relatives and neighbors who had been sheltering at the Armenian Church in Latakia. It was then that the true stories of horror at the hands of the US sponsored FSA and their Turkish allies came to light.

Input: Central Park 5 This news sparked outrage online Friday until the tape overshadowed it. Trump ran a full-page ad in newspapers in 1989 calling for the return of the death penalty after five black teens were arrested for the rape and beating of a jogger in Central Park. Though all were found guilty based on questionable confessions and sent to prison, their convictions were vacated over a decade later when another man confessed to the crime. DNA evidence connected him to the attack, while no forensic evidence ever implicated them.

Input: And, like many politicians, Clinton has bobbed and weaved over the course of her career, sometimes tacking to the right. Still, she is fundamentally liberal, and running on a highly progressive platform that includes raising the minimum wage and passing gun-safety measures like universal background checks. Clinton has also been a tireless advocate for women and families since the 1970s and, unlike any secretary of state before her, made global women's issues a key point on her agenda." She is somebody who wants to be president for all the right reasons," says Clinton's longtime aide Jennifer Klein, who is currently advising Clinton on women's and girls ' issues." I mean, that's the irony of all of these negative characterizations: You couldn't find a person who is more dedicated to improving people's lives than Hillary Clinton."

Input: He later responded to Clinton's statement, saying she "tried to politicize the investigation by attacking and falsely accusing the FBI director of only sending the letter to Republicans." In a letter to eight congressional committee chairmen Friday, Comey said investigators are examining newly discovered emails that "appear to be pertinent" to the email probe." In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear pertinent to the investigation," Comey wrote the chairmen." I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation."

Input: The Steveneses were sitting in the garage of their stucco home on Kokomo Lane with the door open, when the attack occurred at around 9.15pm. Snyder, who said there was no link between Harrouff and the married couple, described the attack as ' random as random can be '. Harrouff allegedly stabbed the couple with a switchblade knife he was known to carry around. Multiple ‘weapons of opportunity,’ were also used to inflict massive trauma to the victims ' bodies. Snyder said it was clear that John had fought back.

For comparison, the asteroid that is believed to have killed off the dinosaurs was a whopping six miles wide and released energy when it exploded that was equivalent to a billion times the energy of an atomic bomb, NASA said. Stopping this sort of cosmic collision might seem impossible. But experts said it would probably be easier than the ordeal depicted by Bruce Willis in the 1998 disaster flick Armageddon, when astronauts split apart a Texas-sized asteroid using a nuclear bomb.

Input: She will not be a president to my liking. Her economic policies are a disaster. She is campaigning against the trade deals she negotiated, and which I support for both economic and foreign policy reasons. Even on foreign affairs, which should be her strength as a former secretary of state, she’s a far weaker candidate than I’d like. She advocated overthrowing the Libyan government without a plan to stabilize the country — the very charge she lays against the Bush administration in Iraq.

Input: And to say that she only opposed the “surge” out of a political calculation could border on disqualifying. But the pattern fits with Clinton’s previous decisions. She belatedly broke with the Iraq War during Campaign 2008 only when she realized that her hawkish stance was damaging her political chances against Obama, who had opposed the U.S. invasion in 2003. Yet, as Secretary of State, Clinton sought to purge officials seen as insufficiently hawkish. After Obama hesitantly approved the Afghan “surge” and reportedly immediately regretted his decision Clinton took aim at Eikenberry, a retired general who had served in Afghanistan before being named ambassador.

Input: Workers are monitored carefully for radiation doses acquired during their work careers, and undergo medical surveillance following retirement for health effects that may be causally related to their occupational radiation exposures. Similarly, workers exposed to industrial dusts, such as miners and foundry workers, are monitored for known diseases whose incidences increase due to these exposures. Both the operation of target organ systems lung function in this case and resulting illnesses, including asbestosis, mesothelioma, and silicosis, are followed. It is important to monitor both for function of target organs at risk as well as the known specific illness tied to these risks. In these industries, there is a recognized obligation to provide both comprehensive monitoring and health care for risks attributable to the workplace.

Later the White House proposed a target list that included civilian infrastructure. What would the toll to civilians have been if the White House’s proposed strike had been carried out? » Hersh responded by saying that the US tradition in that regard has long been to ignore civilian casualties; i.e., collateral damage of US attacks is okay or even desired (so as to terrorize the population into surrender) – not an ‘issue’, except, perhaps, for the PR people. The interviewer asked why Obama is so obsessed to replace Assad in Syria, since « The power vacuum that would ensue would open Syria up to all kinds of jihadi groups »; and Hersh replied that not only he, but the Joint Chiefs of Staff, « nobody could figure out why ».

Input: Middle England is the heartland of the Vote Leave campaign as the United Kingdom hurtles toward Thursday’s referendum on whether the country should quit the European Union. The pro-EU Remain campaign has accused those pushing for a “Brexit” of being motivated by xenophobia. The bitter argument seemed to tip into violence this week when Jo Cox, a Labour MP and outspoken Remain supporter, was shot and killed by a gunman who reportedly shouted “Britain first” before the attack. It was an event that some attributed to the increasingly sour and divided atmosphere that the referendum has created. “When you present politics as a matter of life and death, as a question of national survival, do n’t be surprised if someone takes you at your word,” wrote Alex Massie, of The Spectator magazine, taking aim at the Leave campaign’s tactic of whipping up anti-immigrant sentiment.

Input: It was classic, I think purposely so. By classic, I mean it was what you would expect any Republican to say he was for economically running for president: low taxes, limited government, entrepreneurism, economic advancement, freedom and liberty. But he did throw in, he did throw some things to his base. The base is not crazy. Trump’s base is not all that crazy about a traditional Republican or Democrat economic speech ’cause they do n’t believe it.

Input: It is that the temperament and character of a man or woman gets magnified and amplified by the power of the presidency. There must be some inner check to avoid the abuse of power. Chuck Colson said it was Richard Nixon’s “us-versus-them” mentality that led to the creation of “the plumbers” — the group charged with plugging press leaks, eventually triggering the Watergate scandal. The attitudes and leadership style of a president inspire or infect his entire administration. It is a tribute to the seriousness of the Trump candidacy that we should be considering the real-world consequences of his temperament.

Input: The goal of the eight Benghazi committees, one of which produced and nurtured “emailgate,” has been clear from the start: to prevent Hillary Clinton from becoming president of the United States. Comey disappointed Republicans in July by not going along with what would have been a highly unusual indictment of a public official given the facts of Clinton’s email use, Republicans responded by dragging him before Rep. Jason Chaffetz’s House Oversight committee. Donald Trump called for Comey himself to be investigated. That Comey felt pressed to step way outside the bounds of what previous directors have done by making his July statement at all, complete with editorial embellishments about Clinton’s conduct, and then to make new statements about the investigation 11 days before a national election is indeed “unprecedented and deeply troubling,” as Clinton herself put it at a rally Saturday. Congress, and some of the same committees pursuing email investigations, hold the purse strings over Comey’s agency.

Adding to the military's problems is India's three-decade effort to build a single-engine fighter of its own which was meant to be the backbone of the air force. Only two of those Light Combat Aircraft, called Tejas, have been delivered to the air force which has ordered 140 of them. The Indian Air Force is down to 32 operational squadrons compared with the 45 it has said are necessary, and in March the vice chief Air Marshal B.S.

Input: In reality, less than 1.4% of Americans owned slaves. Owning a slave was n’t necessarily cheap. Purchase, feeding, clothing, etc, could n’t be done if your economic situation was meager. Not to mention those who did n’t own slaves purely out of their morality making it abhorrent to them. So, most white Americans today would be completely innocent of the charge of racism and enslavement if they were n’t ALL completely innocent of it anyway for not having taken part in it in the first place.

While Trump officials reportedly blocked a move to add language calling for the U.S. shipment of weapons to Ukraine’s government, the platform does include a firm passage about Putin’s aggression there. “We support maintaining and, if warranted, increasing sanctions, together with our allies, against Russia unless and until Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are fully restored,” the platform states. Trump’s comments are also at odds with some of his key allies.

Input: As secretary of state and the leading champion of the intervention, that planning would surely have been Clinton’s primary responsibility. Libya was n’t the only country Clinton meddled in. Following in the footsteps of her mentor, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Clinton supported and legitimized the right-wing Honduran military coup that ousted democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya in 2009, plunging Honduras into record-setting violence that sent thousands of children fleeing for their lives. Clinton later advocated for the deportation of tens of thousands of unaccompanied Central American refugee children who sought asylum in the US in 2014 to “send a message” to their parents that “just because your child gets across the border, that does n’t mean the child gets to stay.” Nearly a third of those children had fled post-coup violence in Honduras.

Input: Number one, Sen. Sanders voted for the crime bill, I did not have a vote, I supported efforts, both to try to reverse the tide of time, but also to go against crime against women, get rid of assault weapons, give kids something to say yes to with more after-school activities, and as we have seen it played out both at the federal and then the state, which took their lead from it, we have learned that there were too many people being sent to prison for low-level nonviolent offenses, the very first speech I gave back in this campaign back in April was calling for criminal justice reform, calling to end the era of mass incarceration and of course, I am calling for common sense gun safety measures to protect people. So I have a very robust agenda, we have learned what we need to be doing to divert people from the criminal justice system. We need to attack systematic racism because there is no doubt that African Americans are often arrested, charged, convicted and incarcerated for doing the exactly the same thing as white Americans do. So I take this whole set of issues very seriously. I've talked about it at length in many different settings.

Input: It's not a stretch of the imagination to say that Clinton broke at least one law pertaining to the storing of classified information by a government official. There are already eight laws that could have been broken, and Americans still don't know the extent of the FBI's investigation. If the FBI fails to indict Hillary Clinton, then the public, as well as the intelligence community, will start pointing fingers. When NPR publishes a headline titled 22 Hillary Clinton Emails Dubbed Top Secret, it's difficult to claim negligence, or over-classification. NPR also writes that "She did, however, sign paperwork at the State Department that said she understood that information could be classified even if it weren't marked that way."

No food has arrived in the rural town of Madaya since October, and desperate residents have posted photographs on the Internet showing frail, skeletal corpses and emaciated people, including children. The medical charity Doctors Without Borders said 23 people have died of starvation since Dec. 1 at a clinic the group supports in Madaya, six of them infants less than 1 year old. The town has become “an open-air prison,” Brice de le Vingne, director of operations for Doctors Without Borders, said in a statement. Desperate people who try to flee have been injured or killed by bullets or by land mines planted around the town, he added.

Assange refuses to go to Sweden in fear of then being extradited to the U.S. In February, the U.N.

Input: The shelling took place after Kurdish YPG fighters backed by Russian bombing raids drove Syrian rebels from a former military air base, south of the town of Azaz and near the Turkish border." Today retaliation was taken under the rules of engagement against forces that represented a threat in Azaz and the surrounding area," the prime minister told reporters in comments shown live by state broadcaster TRT Haber. A Kurdish official said the Menagh base which was hit had been captured by the Kurdish-allied Jaysh al-Thuwwar group rather than the YPG. Both are part of the Syria Democratic Forces alliance. The shelling came amid growing anger in Ankara with the United States for supporting the YPG, which Ankara regards as a terrorist organisation, in its fight against Islamic State militants.

It says: ' The [Nato] force [in Poland] is not required to win the war, but it must be able to fight alongside the host-nation forces to buy Nato more time for reinforcement. Nato's presence in the region is currently not large enough to achieve this.

Input: “Now, we should learn from that. I actually think that Rwanda is an interesting test case because it’s possible — not guaranteed, but it’s possible — that this was a situation where the quick application of force might have been enough.” He related this to Syria: “Ironically, it’s probably easier to make an argument that a relatively small force inserted quickly with international support would have resulted in averting genocide [more successfully in Rwanda] than in Syria right now, where the degree to which the various groups are armed and hardened fighters and are supported by a whole host of external actors with a lot of resources requires a much larger commitment of forces.” Obama-administration officials argue that he has a comprehensible approach to fighting terrorism: a drone air force, Special Forces raids, a clandestine CIA-aided army of 10,000 rebels battling in Syria. So why does Obama stumble when explaining to the American people that he, too, cares about terrorism? The Turkey press conference, I told him, “was a moment for you as a politician to say, ‘Yeah, I hate the bastards too, and by the way, I am taking out the bastards.’” The easy thing to do would have been to reassure Americans in visceral terms that he will kill the people who want to kill them. Does he fear a knee-jerk reaction in the direction of another Middle East invasion?

Not all outdated information has been purged, according to Menzel, so some of those records likely include information for deceased voters or those who have subsequently moved. According to Matthew Roberts, director of communications for the Arizona secretary of state, in late May, Arizona officials took the statewide voting registration system offline after the FBI alerted the Arizona Department of Administration that there was a credible cyber threat to the voter registration system. Although The Washington Post reported that Roberts attributed the database breach directly to a Russian hacker, when pressed by CNN, he said that the Arizona secretary of state's office learned of Russian involvement from internal IT and cyber security staff.

Dzhemilev and Chubarov, both Ukrainian lawmakers, have been barred from entering Crimea for five years by Crimea's Moscow-backed leadership. The Organization for Security and Cooperation In Europe issued a report in September saying that, since Russia's land grab, fundamental freedoms have "deteriorated radically" for many in Crimea, especially for pro-Ukrainian activists, journalists, and the Crimean Tatar community. In its annual human rights report issued last week, the U.S. State Department criticized what it portrayed as a broad range of rights violations against Crimean Tatars, including "systematic discrimination" and "physical abuse and beatings" by "Russian occupying forces." Russian President Vladimir Putin last year suggested that foreign countries were funding efforts to "destabilize the situation" by highlighting difficulties faced by Crimean Tatars, and said that Moscow would not allow this.

There was absolutely no evidence for it, but he persisted, he persisted year after year, because some of his supporters, people that he was trying to bring into his fold, apparently believed it or wanted to believe it. But, remember, Donald started his career back in 1973 being sued by the Justice Department for racial discrimination because he would not rent apartments in one of his developments to African Americans, and he made sure that the people who worked for him understood that was the policy. He actually was sued twice by the Justice Department. So he has a long record of engaging in racist behavior.

Input: BTW, Trumps line that Obama founded ISIS echoes exactly a myth propagated by Russian state-controlled media and bloggers. — Michael McFaul (@McFaul) August 11, 2016 Clinton's campaign also ripped Trump's comments as damaging to the country, in a statement from policy adviser Jake Sullivan." This is another example of Donald Trump trash-talking the United States," Sullivan said." It goes without saying that this is a false claim from a presidential candidate with an aversion to the truth and an unprecedented lack of knowledge.

Input: The emergency also gives the president — and his successor — the authority to "suspend the operation of any provision of law relating to the promotion, involuntary retirement, or separation of commissioned officers" of the armed forces. And he can appoint an unlimited number of new one- or two-star generals, waiving promotion requirements and legal limits on the number of officers. Wednesday, GOP candidate Donald Trump suggested he would use his authority as president to replace top generals, saying he would seek the advice of generals on the Islamic State, but "they’d probably be different generals, to be honest with you." Under the National Emergencies Act, national emergencies expire after a year, unless the president renews them by notifying Congress. Obama did just that last week.

Input: "As a consequence of Ukraine's payment default … a formal legal complaint against Ukraine will soon be filed in an English court," said a statement from the Russian finance ministry. In December, Kyiv announced it would be putting a moratorium on repayment to Russia, saying Moscow refused to sign a restructuring agreement despite Russian President Vladimir Putin's vow to sue the country if it defaulted on the loan. The debt dates to 2013 when Moscow offered the loan to Ukraine under former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, the pro-Russia politician ousted from power during pro-European protests. However, the ministry statement noted that the legal action did not "preclude" talks to negotiate the terms of repayment." The Russian Federation would carefully examine any meaningful proposal from Ukraine and believes that the commencement of legal proceedings does not preclude a constructive dialogue with a view to reaching an acceptable solution," the statement added.

Input: With this grim record in mind, it is useful to look at strategic debates and planning. One chilling case is the Clinton-era 1995 STRATCOM study “Essentials of Post-Cold War Deterrence.” The study calls for retaining the right of first strike, even against nonnuclear states. It explains that nuclear weapons are constantly used, in the sense that they “cast a shadow over any crisis or conflict.” It also urges a “national persona” of irrationality and vindictiveness to intimidate the world. Current doctrine is explored in the lead article in the journal International Security, one of the most authoritative in the domain of strategic doctrine. The authors explain that the United States is committed to “strategic primacy”—that is, insulation from retaliatory strike.

I could also think of a dozen other settings where he would n’t stand out. I could see him in a bathrobe walking down the promenade in Santa Monica. I could see him yelling at kids crossing his lawn on the way home from school. “Young men!” he’d shout, shaking his fist, “Shame on you!” Sanders’s familiarity is interesting because it makes him charming, but not altogether likeable (sort of like how critics used to say, a bit unfairly, that Sarah Jessica Parker was sexy but not pretty).

Input: GOA, India India and Russia on Saturday announced plans to set up a joint venture to build helicopters in India, which will also buy surface-to-air missile systems from its former Cold War ally, as the two tighten their military relationship. The pacts were signed after summit talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in India's western resort state of Goa, where leaders from the BRICS group of emerging nations are meeting. Indian military officials have said the plan is for the joint venture to build at least 200 Kamov helicopters required by the country's defence forces, and is part of Modi's drive to build a defence industrial base in the south Asian nation. The S-400 surface-to-air missiles are meant to strengthen India's defences along its borders with China and Pakistan, Indian military officials have said.

Input: Thus the classic intonations of every major religion have the simple, repetitive cadence also found in the best political speeches. “In the beginning.” “And it was good.” “Let us pray.” But Trump takes this much further, as he does with so many other things. Decades ago, when I worked on presidential speeches, some news analyst made fun of me for saying in an interview that we were aiming for a seventh-grade level in a certain televised address. But that is generally the level of effective mass communication — newscasts, advertising, speeches — and it is about where most of the other Republicans ended up when Shafer ran their transcripts through the analyzer. (Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee, and Scott Walker were at an eighth-grade level; Ted Cruz at ninth; and John Kasich at fifth.)

Input: Obama landed in Riyadh earlier Wednesday for a summit with Gulf leaders and spent two-and-a-half hours meeting with the 80-year -old monarch on issues that have recently strained the alliance, including the conflict in Yemen, the role of Iran, Lebanon's instability and the fight against ISIS, U.S. officials said. Statements after the meeting made clear that deep differences remain on several of these points, with the two sides agreeing to disagree and a U.S. official characterizing the encounter as the start of a discussion rather than a venue for solutions. But the two leaders glossed over some of the thorniest matters, including a Saudi threat to dump U.S. assets if Obama signs into law a bill that could make the kingdom liable for damages stemming from the September 11 terror attacks. There is going to have to be "a recalibration of our relationship with America," former Saudi Intelligence Chief Prince Turki Al-Faisal told CNN's Christiane Amanpour." How far we can go with our dependence on America, how much can we rely on steadfastness from American leadership, what is it that makes for our joint benefits to come together," Turki said in a significant departure from usual Saudi rhetoric.

Input: Bernie Sanders has been disadvantaged by the insistence of mainstream media to inaccurately report alleged superdelegate support as the same as a committed delegate. This kind of reporting left the voters with the impression Hilary was leading by huge margins, which is actually not the case. Superdelegate votes do not count until they are cast, and superdelegates can change their minds at any time before voting at the convention. Superdelegates are also an indication of the Democrat Party’s favoritism toward Clinton. Party favoritism has been a key factor in the election fraud because the Democratic party has not spoken out against the fraudulent practices that advantage Hilary.

Input: Bush and George W. Bush — and from the kind of muscular U.S. national security policy long embraced by their party. Reagan governed as a Cold War president when the world looked to the United States to check the Soviets. He confronted the Soviet Union, spending heavily on a military buildup that the other side could n’t match, then negotiated deep cuts in nuclear arms. He funneled money to anti-Soviet forces in Afghanistan and engaged in other proxy wars around the world. Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump visited the editorial board of The Washington Post on Mar.

Input: Clinton will never recognize Crimea as part of Russia, seeks to strengthen relations with our allies and speaks out about human rights. Putin and his government already know Clinton from her four years as secretary of state. They remember the tough line she took in seeking to negotiate a political transition in Syria; her efforts — though failed — to get Russia to support even modest U.N. Security Council resolutions regarding this humanitarian tragedy; and her early advocacy for arming Syria opponents of Bashar al-Assad, Moscow’s ally. They remember her public criticism of irregularities in Russia’s December 2011 parliamentary election, which Putin lambasted as a “signal” to Russian protesters to take to the streets against him. And they remember her portrayal of Putin’s prized foreign policy project — the creation of the Eurasia Economic Union — as a “a move to re-Sovietize the region.” No one should be surprised that Putin and his government would rather see Trump in the White House.

Input: The coercive “stick” is supplied by brutal internal security services lavishly equipped with American equipment. The U.S. has long counted on the ruling family having bottomless coffers of cash with which to rent loyalty. Even accounting today’s low oil prices, and as Saudi officials step up arms purchases and military adventures in Yemen and elsewhere, Riyadh is hardly running out of funds. Still, expanded oil production in the face of such low prices — until the Feb. 16 announcement of a Saudi-Russian freeze at very high January levels — may reflect an urgent need for revenue as well as other strategic imperatives. Talk of a Saudi Aramco IPO similarly suggests a need for hard currency.

Input: Clinton and Trump did not shake hands when they entered but instead stayed on separate ends of the stage.

Trump then brought up criticism he had received from Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and then told the audience gun rights were "under siege" and "under such trauma". The debate covered a topic only briefly covered in previous debates, gun rights.

Input: These votes had already been cast before the media’s spin on the public record was corrected. The Blackout: One final insult, one final nail in the coffin of American democracy And so Bernie Sanders, the unlikely charismatic grandfather figure to America, who echoes the promise of New Deal liberalism the American people so desperately clamor for and have not seen since FDR was president, found himself in an impossible position on Tuesday, with supporters falsely led by the media to expect an upset in a race that had been decided weeks ago. Still, he had another chance: a major speech to the national viewing audience, to tell them that they did not need to settle. As Sanders approached the stage, losing the the vote but winning the hearts and minds of his electorate, he looked into an audience of enthusiastic supporters and cacophony of film cameras knowing that, at least one more time, he could drive home his vision that America’s young people should not graduate college with a lifetime of debt, that American elections do not need to be bought and sold, and that the country should serve more than just those on Wall Street.

Video footage captured the incident, raising new questions about whether Trump was implicitly encouraging such violence -- by, among other things, vowing to pay the legal fees of any supporters who fought protesters and faced arrest as a result. Chuck Todd, host of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” asked Trump whether that meant he’d pay McGraw’s legal fees. “I’ve actually instructed my people to look into it, yes,” Trump said.

In 2015 Finland made it more difficult for migrants from Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia to get asylum, concluding the security situation had eased in certain areas of those countries. Nerg said two charter flights to deport Iraqis were planned within the following months. The deportations were to take place gradually, as immigration authorities process applications.

Input: The president’s targeting of opposition parties has shattered any illusions that Turkey is a western-style democracy Any chance Turkey could join the EU by 2020, as Brexit campaigners have asserted, went up in smoke on Wednesday after the country’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, signed a draconian new law that in effect demolishes any notion that his country is a fully functioning, western-style democracy. EU rules dating to 1993, known as the Copenhagen criteria, insist all applicant states must adhere to a system of democratic governance and uphold other basic principles, such as the rule of law, human rights, freedom of speech, and protection of minorities. Turkey is struggling to meet these standards.

Input: Still it’s quite clear they were riffing off the same basic idea — the idea of a conservative restoration: Trump promises to “make America great again,” but in that same VFW speech, Reagan pledged to unite “a great crusade to restore the America of our dreams.” The fundamental thrust of their politics is the same, but the ideological / rhetorical vehicle for it is falling to pieces faster than anyone can put it back together. Trump is notorious for his lack of conservative orthodoxy, but people forget how badly Reagan himself would have failed any such test, had more recent powerful gatekeepers been around to check his credentials. He raised taxes 11 times after his initial tax cuts caused the deficit to explode; he struck a deal to save Social Security, which he had previously wanted to undermine by making it voluntary; he struck an immigration deal with amnesty for almost 3 million “illegal immigrants;” he negotiated with the Soviets, even coming close to abolishing nuclear weapons. None of this means he was n’t a conservative, of course. Litmus tests can be very misleading, especially once they proliferate like rabbits.

Clinton has not released transcripts of those speeches despite numerous calls from her primary and general election opponents. Among the red flags is Clinton admitting she’s “Kind Of Far Removed” from middle-class struggles due to “The Economic, You Know, Fortunes That My Husband And I Now Enjoy.” That speech was delivered to employees at Goldman-Black Rock on Feb. 4, 2014.

Furthermore, it enacted laws to disallow the trial of the military for the crimes they have committed,” the PKK said on Saturday. “There already existed a military tutelage before the coup attempt made yesterday; which makes the current case an attempt of coup by a military faction against the existing military faction.” The PKK rebel group is worried that the international community might brand the Turkish government as democratic, after they managed to resist the coup plotters.
