While he said he doesn t believe his son made a decision to be gay, he added, I m just not there as far as believing in my heart that we should change 2,000 years of social policy in favor of a redefinition of the family.

The fight over Rep. Charles B. Rangel s tenure atop the Ways and Means Committe got a little nasty Wednesday night, when the New York Democrat exchanged words with Minority Leader John A.

Following that dust-up, a Boehner aide sought to clarify the Republicans reasons for seeking Rangel s temporary ouster until the ethics committee rules on three separate inquiries regarding Rangel s personal finances, his use of rent-stabilized apartments and a fundraising letter the chairman sent to wealthy New Yorkers on congressional stationery. The issue, according to a top Boehner aide, is that Rangel should not have oversight over the agency th caneca stanley at will ultimately arbitrate his failure to pay taxes on rental income from a beachfront condo in the Dominican Republic. Bottom line: Rangel should not be in a position overseeing the IRS while he is negotiating with the IRS over the size and degree of fines and other punishment he faces, Steel said.

Baghdad --Iraqi lawmakers Thursday demanded U.S. forces leave the country in the wake of a surprise visit by President Donald Trump that politicians denounced as arrogant and a violation of Iraqi sovereignty.Politicians from both blocs of Iraq s divided Parliament called for a vote to expel U.S. troops and promised to schedule an extraordinary session to debate the matter.

Republican presidential candidate and Texas governor Rick Perry spe cups stanley nt Sunday on damage control after a stinging report in the Washington Post tying Perry to a racial slur used at a Texas hunting camp his family once leased.The Perry campaign and some Republican commentators downplayed the story, saying Perry was not associated with the use of the name Niggerhead at the Throckmorton County property. The word was p stanley water bottle ainted on a large rock at the entrance of the camp, but Perry said he and his father quickly painted over the word when they started using the property and noticed it in the 1980 s.

Rfgn Hillary Clinton s book sales barely edging out Ben Carson s
Washington mdash; The Trump administration on Wednesday unveiled a sweeping plan to de stanley canada tain migrant families and children for longer periods of time than currently allowed, touting a final regulation that would overhaul the immigration detention system in the U.S. and scrap a longstanding court settlement.For more than two decades, the court settlement known as the Flores Agreement has governed the care of migrant children in U.S. custody. The 1997 agreement sets sweeping standards for the treatment of unaccompanied migrant children, from housing to medical care, as well as educat stanley quencher ion, nutrition and hygiene. In more recent rulings, the federal judge overseeing the settlement has also effectively prohibited the government from detaining for more than 20 days families apprehended with children.But the new Department of Homeland Security DHS regulation, a draft of which was published last year, would give immigration authorities more leeway in detaining families with children for longer, and modify the standards of care for unaccompanied children set forth by the 1997 settlement. The administration believes these changes would render the deal obsolete. Under the administratio stanley cup n s rule, which will be published in the Federal Register Friday and would go into effect 60 days later, there would not be a limit to the number of days families with children could be detained.

By Michael Barone, Thomas Jefferson Street blogIt takes a while for our states to tally up the total number of votes cast in the presidential election, so only now is it possible to say something reasonably close to definitive about turnout in the 2008 general election. Overall turnout, as currently reported, seems to be 130.7 million, about 7 percent more than the 122.3 million of 2004. That s a much smaller percentage increase in stanley flask turnout than between the 2000 and 2004 elections, which was 23 percent. Turnout increase in 2004-08, at 6.9 percent, was higher than population increase 2003-07 as estimated by the Census Bureau and which I take as a reasonable proxy for the population increase from which increased numbers of voters could be drawn of 3.9 percent, but not by much.One of the things that have struck me as I have been crunching numbers from the 2008 election returns is how variable turnout increases/decreases were. In states that were seriously contested in 2008 but not 2004, turnout tended to be way up example: Indiana, plus-12 percent, in a state with 2.6 percent population increase , but in states that were seriously contested both years, turnout was not up and, in one significant case, was down example: next-door Ohio, minus-3 percent, in a state with a 0.3 percent population increase .

The New York Attorney General s long-sought interviews with Donald Trump and two of his children, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, are scheduled for July 15.Attorneys for the trio and New York Attorney Letitia James said in a court filing Wednesday that the two sides agreed to the date for sworn depositions in James wide-ranging civil fraud probe. The agreement stipulates that the depositions will conclude by the following week. They noted that an appeals court could issue a stay of a lower court s order for the depositions, which would delay the depositions.On May 26, New York s Appellate Division, First Judicial Department found that a lower court judge correctly ruled that the Trumps fear that their depositions might end up being used in a parallel criminal investigation did not shield them from subpoenas.
