<\/a>Election 2014<\/h1>\n
\nSitting on the back of his truck, a homemade turkey wrap in one hand and a bottle of water in the other, Mark said the Democratic Party he grew up with is vastly different from the one that exists today.<\/p>\n
\nNational Democrats knew long ago that 2014’s political landscape in Montana was not going to be favorable to even a relatively conservative Democrat.<\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s like the political equivalent of the majestic Alaska salmon reproductive process.<\/p>\n
\nIncumbents versus angry voters\u2014who wins?<\/p>\n
\nOne of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell\u2019s online attack ads against Democratic opponent Alison Grimes featured her picture lined up next to President Obama, Woody Allen and Barbra Streisand.<\/p>\n
\nSenate candidate tied to labor group seeking to \u2018do away with capitalism\u2019<\/p>\n
\nRace tightens up, but many have not decided<\/p>\n
\nIf you are wondering how it is that Jeff Gorell (R CAND, California-26) is managing to put Julia Brownley in such electoral fear \u2013 in California, forsooth! \u2013 well, it\u2019s because Brownley is an awful candidate, of course. And she has awful friends, too. Let\u2019s go to the Twitter, shall we?<\/p>\n
\nThe case against Sen. Mark Begich isn\u2019t about Obamacare, spending or federal debt. Instead the first round of general election advertising in Alaska hits the first-term Democrat where he\u2019s strongest: women\u2019s issues and work ethic.<\/p>\n<\/a>Obama Scandals<\/h1>\n
\nGAO: Congress not legally notified before Obama freed Gitmo inmates<\/p>\n
\nA federal judge on Wednesday ordered the Justice Department to give Congress a list of documents related to Operation Fast and Furious that the Obama administration is withholding under claims of executive privilege.<\/p>\n<\/a>Gun Rights<\/h1>\n
\nI can\u2019t remember a crime that traumatised Britain as much as Dunblane did. Abominations come and go, but this one was different. Perhaps the ordinariness of the setting made it more immediate to most of us than news from Syria or Nigeria. Perhaps it was the age of the victims: their first year at school, when their personalities were beginning to flower, when they were just deciding on their favourite colours, their best friends.<\/p>\n
\nEach election cycle, the Minnesota Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance contacts the 280-plus candidates running for the Minnesota House in hopes of surveying them about their views on gun rights.<\/p>\n
\nA Washington state-based gun rights group is steadily persuading cities and towns across the country to repeal local firearms regulations and give that power back to the states. <\/p>\n<\/a>Hide the Decline<\/h1>\n
Environment &
\n“Green Energy”<\/h2>\n
\nThere\u2019s quite a row developing after a scathing article in the Australian, some news clips follow.<\/p>\n<\/a>Obamacare<\/h1>\n
Government in Healthcare<\/h2>\n
\nA court in Alabama has ruled that Pfizer Inc. can be sued over harmful side effects caused by generic versions of its drugs.<\/p>\n<\/a>War & Terror<\/h1>\n
\nThe bid to seize back Mosul dam from extremists falters as US backed forces are hampered by explosive devices<\/p>\n
\nAs the White House declared mission accomplished for saving the Yazidis under siege by ISIS fighters on Mount Sinjar, activists and leaders from the sect tell Kurdish news outlet Rudaw that about 2,000 Yazidis remain unaccounted for \u2014 in the hands of ISIS.<\/p>\n
\nWhile Iraqi women jump from cliffs to avoid becoming the next sex slaves of the Islamic State, American feminist publications spent their time focusing on male celebrities who\u2019ve embraced the feminist demand that biology doesn\u2019t matter<\/p>\n
\nBelgian energy company Electrabel said its Doel 4 nuclear reactor would stay offline at least until the end of this year after major damage to its turbine, with the cause confirmed as sabotage.<\/p>\n
\nAt least six are dead, and no one knows who\u2019s responsible.<\/p>\n
\nGermany\u2019s Angela Merkel promised the Baltic states on Monday that Nato would defend them, although it would not send permanent combat troops but would increase manoeuvres in the region. <\/p>\n
\nBeheading journalists isn\u2019t actually the worst these savage ISIS monsters could do. Some of their other crimes against humanity are beyond barbaric.<\/p>\n
