WASHINGTON, D.C. - Here at home, transparency in government is being lost because of court decisions that have made campaign financing a free-for-all. The midterm election this month was the most expensive in history and $145 million came f stanley becher rom anonymous donors. So no one knows who s buying what in Washington.Republican Leader Mitch McConnell s biggest outside backer in his bid for re-election was a little known group called the Kentucky Opportunity Coalition which spent $12.6 million on ads for McConne stanley cup ll and against his opponent, Alison Lundergan Grimes. The group s donors are a secret. Thanks to a series of recent court decisions, certain nonprofit groups are no longer required to list those names. When CBS News asked, we were told K.O.C. s policy is to not provide the names of its donors to the general public.

WASHINGTON - On the brink of failure, members of a special deficit-cutting committee blamed each other Sunday for the intransigence that has gridlocked the panel in its quest to cut the deficit by at least $1.2 trillion over the coming decade.

And we re not excited about entitlement reform, Republican Jon Kyl of Arizona said in a combative interview on NBC s Meet the Press.

Hlnb Obama: Clinton showed carelessness with emails
President Trump, meeting with Ecuadoran President Leniacute;n Moreno at the White House Wednesday, clearly had other topics on his mind. In particular, the president touted his virtually unchallenged win in New Hampshire and blasted career federal prosecutor stanley cups s who recommended a sentence he deemed too harsh for his longtime associate Roger Stone.Asked by a reporter about the Stone case, Mr. Trump said the prosecutors who recommended seven to nine years and withdrew from the case when the Justice Department objected to that recommendation stanley cupe should go back to school and learn. All four prosecutors in the case suddenly resigned Tuesday, after the Justice Department bucked their recommendation for prison time and Mr. Trump declared the years-long recommendation a miscarriage of justice. The president declined to say whether he will pardon Stone. I don t want to say that yet but I tell you what, people were hurt viciously and badly by these corrupt people, and I want to thank ... the Justice Department for seeing this horrible thing, Mr. Trump said. I didn t speak to them, by the way, just so you understand. They saw the horri stanley cup bleness of a nine year sentence. You have murderers and drug addicts that don t get nine years. Nine years for doing something that no one can even define what he did.

President Trump has reflected recently on the difficulty of consoling the families of fallen servicemen and women. It s a burden he shares with all presidents who have ordered Americans into battle, or who contemplate doing so. Harry Truman said that the decision to go to war with Korea was the toughest decision he had to make as president.Truman received a letter that proved just how tough. It was from William Banning, the father of George C. Banning, one of the m stanley cups uk ore than 36,000 Americans who died during the Korean war. And along with the letter, Mr. Banning returned his son s purple heart Mr. Truman, As you have been directly responsible for the loss of our son s life in Korea, you might just as well keep this emblem on display in your trophy room, as a memory of one of your historic deeds. Our major regret at this time is that your daughter was not there to receive the same treatment as our son received in Korea. Truman, whose presidential desk held a sign that read The buck stops here, kept the letter and medal close at hand for the last ninet stanley cups een years of his life. When he died, they were found in his desk drawer, a reminder that the toughest presidential decisions last long after a president s tenure is over.

Coverage is mostly relegated to daily newspapers. But stanley mugs the burden is on Webb to make it memorable, at least to political insiders who track such things and fund campaigns, said Larry J.

For Webb, it s an important test to people who watch closely to see if he can stay toe-to-toe with the well-funded incumbent, Sabato said. Allen finished June with $6.6 million in his campaign treasury, compared to just over $424,000 for Webb. That 15-to-1 cash advantage would allow Allen to bury Webb in television advertising this fall unless Webb, who has raised money during most of July, can give donors a reason to narrow Allen s monetary dominance.

Spsn Obama Praises Jon Huntsman, Jokes about Possible 2012 Rivalry
Former House Speake stanley drinking cup r Dennis Hastert on Wednesday admitted to sexually abusing teenage boys during his time as a high school wrestling coach in a Chicago suburb before his career as an elected official.Struggling to stand in federal court Wednesday, 74-year-old Hastert gripped his walker, approached the microphone and said that he mistreated some of his wrestlers and apologized. They looked to me, and I took advantage of them, Hastert said as he awaited his sentencing after pleading guilty last fall to breaking federal banking laws in a hush-money case. I apologize to the court and to the people of the United States. Judge Thomas Durkin sentenced Hastert to 15 months in prison, a $25 botella stanley 0,000 fine, along with two years of supervised release on the condition that he get sex offender treatment. Prosecutors had recommended a six-month sentence. Durkin called Hastert a serial child molester and said he must not contact any of his victims. That s necessary to protect the victims, the judge said. One of the stanley cup men who has accused Hastert of sexual abuse years ago identified himself in the courtroom Wednesday before Hastert spoke.The man, previously known only as Individual D, identified himself as Scott Cross, 53, who lives in Chicago and works in finance. He has a wife and two children.

President Bush signed legislation Thursday that will cost broadcasters dearly when raunchy programming exceeds the bounds of decency. At a signing ceremony for the new law increasing by tenfold the maximum fine for indecency, Mr. Bush said that it will force industry figures to take seriously their duty to keep the public airwaves free of obscene, profane and indecent material. For raunchy talk or a racy show of skin, the Federal Communications Commission can now fine a broadcaster up to $325,000 per incident. Approval o stanley cups uk f the bill culminates a two-year effort to get tough on sexually explicit material and offensive language on radio and television following Janet Jackson s 2004 Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction.

The agency recently handed down its biggest fine, $3.3 million, against more than 100 CBS affiliates that aired an episode of the series Without a Trace that simulated an orgy scene. That fine is now under review.The FCC has received increasing complaints about lewd material over the airwaves, and has responded with fines jumping from $440,000 in 2003 to almost $8 million in 2004.

MCCAIN/PALIN 08.... There s a political adage that s been around for a while that says the first presidential decision a candidate makes is picking a running mate. If that s the case, John McCain would ap stanley website parently be a very odd president.Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain has chosen Alaska Gov.

When it comes to being untested and unknown, Palin is in a league of her own. Just yesterday, advisers to the McCain campaign conceded to the New York Times that McCain thinks highly of Palin, but her less than two years in office would undercut one of the McCain campaign s central criticisms of Senator Barack Obama -- that he is too inexperienced to be commander-in-chief.

Lmvo RNC member floats proposal to thwart Trump primary challenge
Why doesn t Mitt Romney just run for president If Mitt thinks Donald Trump would be such a disaster as president, why doesn t he just go in as a spoiler Why not ensure that Trump can t win by dividing the Republican vote Maybe, as of just a few weeks ago, Mitt was really thinking about running. I sort of suspect he was, if only because it s the only reason I can think of why Paul Ryan would wait so long to endorse Trump, make such a big deal of not endorsing Trump, and then fold a couple of weeks later after Trump surrenders more-or-less nothing. Ryan s a sophisticated operator - why would he do all that, embarrass himself like that, unless he was told that there really was a non-Trump Republican who might jump in stanley tumblers Ex-adviser on Ryan s tremendous apprehension about Trump 03:16 stanley becher And when I say non-Trump Republican, I m not talking about a no-hoper instant punchline like David French.

This story was written by Editorial Board, Indiana Daily StudentKermit was right. Going green is difficult, and in the case of green schools, its also expensive. The 21st Century Green High-Performing Public School Facilities Act represents Congresss latest effort to pump money into environmental-efficiency projects. The bill, passed June 4 in th stanley thermobecher e House by a vote of 250-1 stanley botella 64, would set aside more than $20 billion over the next five years to help modernize existing schools and to start construction on new eco-friendly buildings. Indiana Rep. Baron Hill co-sponsored the bill, saying it would channel $111 million dollars into Hoosier schools. The money would be used stanley cup to help to eliminate crumbling schools, and it would offer a healthier, more energy-efficient place for thousands of teachers and students to work and play. Even though the initiative seems like a win-win vote for the environment and education, Bush has threatened a veto, and we agree.

Channeling money into needy public school systems. We couldnt agree more.
