Ted Cruz s presidential campaign is yanking an ad released Thursday, after a news outlet reported that one actress in the spot had previously starred in soft-core pornography.The ad, featuring a faux rehab group of former Marco Rubio supporters, attacked the Florida senator as a supporter of amnesty for undocumented immigrants and in league with Senate Democrats. One woman derided Rubio as just another pretty face. According to BuzzFeed News, that woman, Amy Lindsay, had featured in movies with title stanley cup s like Erotic Confessions, Carnal Wishes, and Insatiable Desires.

The White House on Friday critic stanley cup ized former Education Secretary William Bennett for remarks linking the crime rate and the abortion of black babies. The president believes the comments were not appropriate, White House press secretary Scott McClellan said.Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and other Democrats demanded an apology Thursday. Bennett, stanley cups uk on his radio show, Morning in America, was answering a caller s question when he took issue with the hypothesis put forth in a recent book that one reason crime is down is that abortion is up. But I do know that it s true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could, if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down, said Bennett, author of The Book of Virtues. Listen to Bennett s comments.He went on to call that an impossible, ridiculous and morally reprehensible thing to do, but garrafinhas stanley your crime rate would go down. So these far-out, these far-reaching, extensive extrapolations are, I think, tricky. Responding later to criticism, Bennett said his comments had been mischaracterized and that his point was that the idea of supporting abortion to reduce crime was morally reprehensible. Bennett was education secretary under President Reagan and director of drug control policy when Bush s father was president.Wade Henderson, the executive director of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, said Bennett s remarks were out

Netd Trump speaks at campaign event in North Carolina, calling his rallies peaceful protests
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg blames Afghanistan s rapid collapse on its political leadership but says there are many lessons to be learned about the alliance s own two-decade engagement in the country. What we have seen in the past few weeks was a military and political collapse at a speed which had not been anticipated, he told international press in a virtual press conference Tuesday. Parts of the Afghan security forces fought bravely, but they were unable to secure the country because ultimately the Afghan political leadership failed to stand up to the Taliban, and to achieve the peaceful solution that Afghans desperately wanted. This failure of Afghan leadership led to the tragedy we are witne botella stanley ssing today, he said. The 30-country alliance began leading military operations in Afghanistan in 2003 and had operated a training and advisory missio stanley cup n for Afghan security forces called Resolute Support since 2015. stanley spain At their peak, there were 100,000 NATO troops in Afghanistan. None are on the ground today. Stoltenberg said NATO has suspended all support to the Afghan government, because there s no Afghan government for NATO to support. He said the alliance, after multiple consultations over the past year, was united in its decision to withdraw from Afghanistan, although he conceded that ending the military mission there was not easy. The United States agreed with the Taliban last year that U.S. troops would with Soeq EPA to propose 30 percent reduction in power plant carbon emissions
Davenport stanley cups uk , Iowa -- Fred Thompson walks into an old fast food joint. I miss you on lsquo;Law Order, Kim Clarey yells. There are reruns, Thompson replies. Well, senator or governor, whatever, she smiles, yoursquo;ll be good at anything. As Clarey munches her french fries at Bobrsquo Drive-In in northeast Iowa, she notices how Thompson looks like he does on television -- tall, avuncular, a little grayer but also a little thinner. She laughs about the horde of cameras trailing him and watches as he takes a seat at another booth. Thompson leans forward and says to the couple he is sitting with: Everybody needs to do something and this is somethin stanley borraccia g I can do. As of last week, that something is a presidential candidacy. A garrafa stanley nd while Thompson as an actor would be the perfect choice to play a presidential candidate on film, this is for real. And somewhere, between fiction and fact, voters already have a sense they know this man, even though they hardly could. His campaign is just getting under way with this first tour of Iowa. Americans have seen this movie before. A quarter century ago when Ronald Reagan ran for president, many voters felt they had grown up with the Gipper. From Reaganrsquo films to his Saturday night show on General Electric Theater, the onetime actor ran as the all-American boy. His character on the campaign trail mimicked the character

The Defense Department s investigation into the attack that killed 13 U.S. service members and about 170 Afghans at the Abbey Gate at the Kabul airport in August found that a single explosive device was responsible, according to CENTCOM Commander General Kenneth McKenzie.On Friday, the Pentagon released its report on the investigation into the suicide bombi stanley thermos ng at the Kabul airport in the chaotic last days of the U.S. evacuation from Afghanistan.McKenzie told reporters at the Pentagon that the bombing was not, as pre stanley cups viously thought, a complex attack, and no service members or Afghans were killed or wounded by gunshots. All injuries and deaths were caused by the blast. There was some consideration given to the possibility that the attack had included a gun fight, but the investigation found that injuries thought to have been caused by bullets were not. We now know that the explosively-fired bal stanley canada l bearings caused wounds that looked like gunshots, McKenzie said. He added that the disturbing lethality of the explosive device was confirmed by the 58 U.S. service members who were killed and wounded mdash; despite the universal wear of body armor and helmets that did stop ball bearings that impacted them hellip; but could not prevent catastrophic injuries to areas not covered. The Defense Department also showed video that is the only known footage of the blast.

AP Bill Burck and Dana Perino have written a piece for National Review that unearths a 2004 amicus brief signed by Attorney General Eric Holder that states that civil liberties protections might impede the investigation of a terrorist offense in some circumstances. They contrast that claim with President Obama s words that America stanley thermos mug n should reject the false choice between our security and our ideals and make a case that Holder is being disingenuous by claiming that trying alleged terrorists in civilian courts won t harm national security. It is conceivable that, in some hypothetical situation, despite the array of powers stanley cup described above, the government might be unable to detain a dangerous terrorist or to interrogate him or her effectively, the 2004 brief states. But this is an inherent consequence of the limitation of Executive power. No doubt many other steps could be taken that would increase our security, a stanley thermos nd could enable us to prevent terrorist attacks that might otherwise occur. But our Nation has always been prepared to accept some risk as the price of guaranteeing that the Executive does not have arbitrary power to imprison citizens. The brief in question discusses, in reference to the Jose Padilla case, whether the president has the legal authority to hold without charges a U.S. citizen captured on American soil, in the manor of an enemy combatant.

Bbem Democrats close to 50-50 split in Virginia House of Delegates - report
The federal magistrate judge who authorized the FBI search wa stanley quencher rrant of former President Donald Trump s Florida residence said he could release portions of the underlying affidavit to the public, pending proposed redactions by federal prosecutors.Judge Bruce Reinhart said Thursday he was not prepared to find the affidavit should be fully sealed, during a court hearing betwe stanley vaso en members of the media and the Justice Department. There are portions of it that could, at least, presumptively be unsealed. Florida Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, Aug. 18, 2022. Sketch by William Hennessy Jr. Media organizations including The New York Times, CBS News and others asked the court to unseal the affidavit, arguing the affidavit s release would help the public determine if the Justice Department had legitimate reasons for the search. Trump, too, has called for the release of the unredacted affidavit, though his lawyers have not been entered as interested parties in the court proceedings. stanley canada The judge gave prosecutors one week to file their proposed redactions to the affidavit ndash; which likely contains a more detailed accounting of the reasons behind last week s Mar-a-Lago search mdash; and said he will make a decision after that.Prosecutors from the Justice Department s National Security Division said they opposed the release of the affidavit to Gzaq Ted Cruz: Star Trek s Captain Kirk was likely a Republican
CBS garrafa stanley From CBS News John Bentley:COLUMBIA, S.C. -- As Fred Thompson makes his final push in South Carolina, his opponents have stepped up their anti-Thompson rhetoric. After a ral stanley isolierkanne ly in Greenville last night, many cars in the parking lot outside had fliers stuck on their windshields accusing Thompson of supporting Planned Parenthood, a pro-choice organization. Scroll down to see the pamphlet FACT: Fred Thompson voted to give over $65 millon of YOUR tax dollars to America s largest Abortio stanley flask n provider Planned Parenthood in 2002, the pamphlet reads. The campaign calls the pamphlet intentionally misleading and believes Mike Huckabee supporters are behind them. While Thompson did vote yes on H.R. 3061 while he was a senator as did most members of the Senate ndash; the vote was 90-7 - though, interestingly John McCain was one of the 7 nay votes , it was a typical appropriations bill for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education totalling $686 billion for FY 2002. As part of that bill, Planned Parenthood did receive federal funding from the Department of Health and Human Services. But it is illegal for any federal funds to be used for abortions because of the Hyde Amendment, and as it says in Title V of the bill itself: None of the funds appropriated under this Act, and none of the funds in any trust fund to which funds are appropriated under this Act, shall be expended for any abortion.

The following is a transcript of an interview with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that aired Sunday, January 9, 2022, on Face the Nation.

Good morning to you, Madam Speaker.HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI: Good morning. Good morning to you, and Happy New Year. MARGARET BRENNAN: Happy New Year. I don t think any of us wanted to start with this Omicron surge that we are seeing happen, and I know in Congress you are seeing infections spike as well N-95 masks now being given to staff. How will this surge impact the work that you are able to do in the coming weeks SPEAKER PELOSI: Well, before I go into that, I just want to say that I come here on this Sunday morn stanley cup quencher ing fresh from the service celebrating the life of stanley canada Majority Leader Harry Reid. Two presidents of the United St stanley cup ates spoke, the leadership of the Congress, the Vice President was there, governors, everyone; but nothing was as eloquent then the voices of his- the voices of his children who spoke about their father.

For months, GOP operatives spoke with dread of the prospects of running against Ba stanley cups uk rack Obama in the fall. But after weeks of controversies over his former pastor, his views of blue-collar voters and even the sincerity of his patriotism, Republicans now are ready to place a $500,000 bet that Obama will be a heavy burden on down-ballot Democrats.Thatrsquo the approximate amount of advertising purchased so far by the National Republican Congressional Committee and GOP allies to link Democratic congressional hopefuls in Mississippi and Louisiana to their partyrsquo potential presidential nominee.Whereas Obama once seemed an almost cultlike figure who transcended race and class, the narrative that has emerged from his campaignrsquo recent trials has given Republicans hope that the Illinois senator can be tagged as an elitist with the same effectiveness with which Michael Dukakis and John F.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska Alaska s multimillion-dollar red king crab season opened Tuesday, but most of the participating boats r stanley mugs emained at dock because federal managers who are supposed to set individual fishing quotas are among workers still furloughed in the government s partial shutdown.Only boats representing a tiny fraction of the total harvest will be heading out into the Bering Sea. For that community development program, quotas are assigned by the state, with only seven vessels signed up to fish as of Tuesday.Crabbers in the much larger haul fear that a late opening of the Bristol Bay fishery made famous by the Discovery Channel reality sho stanley bottles w, Deadliest Catch, will slash into their profits from the lucrative holiday market in Japan. For now, all crews can do is sit and wait at Alaska s Dutch Harbor. As far as Deadliest Catch captain Keith Colburn is concerned, the somber reality is that fishermen are being held politically hostage by a bunch of knuckleheads back East. We re all idle, Colburn told The Associated Press in a phone interview from Dutch Harbor. We re sitting here scratching our heads, going, Why are we not fishing Colburn s testimony before the Senate Commerce Committee last week was filmed by a Discover stanley cups y crew for the season that begins in April.

The foes are the Bush administration s Fish and Wildlife Service.

That decision was supposed to be made ear stanley nz lier this year, and bureaucrats stalled for at least a month.There s so much melting of polar ice, it s hardly a question among those in the know and those who care whether the bear is threatened or not: Of course it is! Some members of the House Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming ask whether the delay [is] caused by a rush to sell the polar bears habitat to oil companies for drilling first. Is it merely a coincidence that another branch of the Interior Department is considering an oil and gas drilling lease on much of the habitat that would be protected if the polar bear were listed as threatened Methinks not, and neither do the bears friends in Congress. stanley cup website For the record, a U.S. Geological Survey official testified that the bears population is expected to dwindle by two thirds during the next 50 years if their habitat isn t protected.As if one environmental onslaught were not enough in one week, the president himself declared the Navy s use of sonar essential to national security and exempted the Navy s upcoming training missions in Southern California waters from environmental laws that prompted court-ordered restrictions on using sonar linked to
