Supporters of Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Tuesday assailed a two-page attack mailer sent to newspaper editors across South Carolina that claims McCain turned on his fellow POWs to get better treatment while he was a prisoner in Vietnam. Nothing could be further from the truth. I know because I was there, Orson Swindle, a retired Marine lieutenant colonel and former prisoner of war, said in a statement about the mailing from a group called Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain. The deceitful smear tactics by such fringe elements as Vietnam Veterans Against McCain must not be allowed into the political process. We are a better people than that, and those responsible should be denounced, said Swindle said. The anti-McCain group s organizer, Jerry Kiley, who said he also is a Vietnam veteran, said in a phone interview he has been trying to spread what he said is the truth about McCain s record for years.

Fnir A Dressing-Down For Pat Buchanan
Texas Democrats still refused to return to the state Capitol on Saturday as Governor Greg Abbott began a third attempt at passing new election laws, prolonging a monthslong standoff that ramped up in July when dozens stanley kubek of Democratic state lawmakers left the state and hunkered down in Washington, D.C. A quorum is not present, said Republican House Speaker Dade Phelan, who then adjourned the chamber until Monday.Mo stanley bottles re than 50 Democrats last month bolted to the nation s capital, but the precise whereabouts of each of them is unclear. In a joint statement Saturday, Democrats said 26 of them would remain part of an active presence in Washington maintained for as long as Congress is working. But there were also signs the stalemate may be thawing. Two of the Democrats who decamped last month returned to Austin on Saturday, and one of them said enough of his colleagues may also begin trickling back to secure a quorum next week. And, notably, Republicans did not invoke a procedural move that would give Phelan the authority to sign arrest warrants for missing lawmakers, as they did when the Democrats left town.Democratic state Representative Eddie Lucio III said those who might return were feeling the pull of personal and professional demands. I was encouraged stanley mug that the baton would be carried by my Washington colleagues at the federal level, that there would be sweeping reform nationwide, Lucio III said. Texas State Rep.

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence released an ad today calling on President Obama to come out more forcefully in support of a ban on the sort of high-capacity ammunition clips used by alleged shooter Jared Loughner in the January Tucson massacre.

The Brady Center declined to say how much it is spending on the ad buy.

Several Republican presidential candidates say they d punish university st stanley mugs udents who demonstrate against Israel or in support of Hamas, the militant group governing Palestinians on the Gaza strip. Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S.Multiple GOP candidates say they d ta stanley kubek ke punitive action, including canceling visas for international students who demonstrate in support of Hamas, or even more broadly, anti-American and antisemitic foreigners at our colleges. But the candidates have not offered details about how or whether they would distinguish international students who express support for the Palestinian people from those they claim have links to Hamas. Nor have they said what mechanism would be used to revoke student visas. After Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, stanley cup students across the country initiated protests on college campuses, advocating for both Israelis and Palestinians.

Manuel Balce Ceneta In an interview that aired on CNN on Sunday, Vice President Joe Biden left the door open to running for president in 2 stanley mug 016 - he said he d make up my mind on that later - and su stanley cups uk ggested he was physically and mentally prepared for the challenge. I m in one of the -- probably the best shape I ve been in my life, said Biden. I m doing pretty well. I m enjoying what I m doing. And as long as I do, I m going to continue to do it. If he runs and wins in 2016, Biden would be 73 years old when he took office. His age would be an issue for the electorate - he would be the oldest incoming president in U.S. history - but perhaps not a disqualifying one. There are two recent instructive examples: 2008 Republican presidential candidate John McCain, who would have been 72 years old when he took office. While McCain s age and previous health issues generated some concern, the issue never overshadowed his candidacy. Then there s former president Ronald Reagan, who was reelected in 1984 at the age of 73. Reagan is the most admired Republican president in recent history, but there is contin stanley cup ued debate over whether he began suffering the symptoms of Alzheimer s disease before he left office.

Jgvz House Approves Tougher Welfare Rules
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was quite outspoken in his opposition to Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch, who was confirmed by the Senate on Thursday after more than five months delay. My vote on Loretta Lynch is going to be unambiguously no, stanley tumbler Cruz, who s running for president, told a conservative gathering in New Hampshire last weekend.But when the t stanley vaso ime came for an up-or-down vote on Lynch s nomination, Cruz was a no-show. The Texas senator joined 33 of his Republican colleagues trying to block consideration of the nomination during a cloture vote earlier in the day, and he then left the Capitol, becoming the only senator who didn t participate in Lynch s final confirmation vote. He opposes the nomination and voted against her in committee and on cloture, which is the only vote that mattered, Cruz s office said in a statement. If the Senate could get 60 votes for cloture, it could get 51 for final confirmation. And besides, Cruz had places to be, people to see. According to RealClearPolitics reporter Rebecca Berg, the senator was scheduled to attend a fundraiser for his presidential bid in Texas at 6 p.m. Thursday. Cruz s decision spoke to a dilemma faced by all f botella stanley ive current senators who have declared or are considering a presidential bid: The campaign trail demands enormous sums of time and energy, but they also have important day jobs as members of the world s greatest deliberative body.

Zqrg Government By Temper Tantrum
The Justice Department s criminal investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, rioting at the U.S. Capitol, now includes questions for witnesses about the communications of people cl stanley water bottle ose to then-President Donald Trump and his reelection campaign, CBS News has confirmed.That news, first reported by The Washington Post, was confirmed to CBS News by a U.S. government official familiar with the investigation and a source with knowledge of what s been p stanley mug resented by the Justice Department to a grand jury.It is not evident that Trump himself is a target of the investigation, only that that prosecutors are asking questions related to him and his aides. One part of the investig stanley cup ation concerns the efforts to swap out electors won by President Biden in several battleground states for fake electors who supported Trump. Another is examining the actions surrounding Jan. 6, when thousands of Trump supporters, many armed, overran the Capitol on the day that Congress was to count the electoral ballots and affirm Mr. Biden s victory in the 2020.According to the source close to the grand jury witnesses, among the topics of interest to federal prosecutors are Trump s discussions with law professor John Eastman, who came up with the plan to try to involve Vice President Mike Pence in the attempt to keep Trump in power, and the pressure exerted on Pence, who presided over the counting of electoral ballots on Jan. 6.

WASHINGTON -- For the second time, Senate Democrats on Tuesday blocked a vote to move forward on a resolution rejecting the Iran nuclear deal, protecting President Obama s key foreign policy initiative.The measure failed Tuesd stanley vaso ay to gain the 60 votes needed to advance - just as it did last Thursday.

In another swipe at the French, a Florida congresswoman has proposed that the government pay for families who might want to bring home from France the remains of Americans who fought and died in the world wars.
