For busy New Yorkers, Saturdays off work are sacred, and a time to enjoy leisurely activities. This Saturday was no different for Chelsea Clinton and her husband Marc Mezvinsky, whom she married in 2010. The couple looked casual as they took a stroll in Manhattan’s Madison Square Park, a far cry from earlier this week, when she attended her father’s Global Initiative conference.Ms Clinton, wearing workout gear and flip flops, strolled arm in arm with her husband around Madison Square Park in the Flatiron District. Leading the pack was the couple’s Yorkshire terrier Soren, which was given to

Poll: Obama leads in Iowa,
but Romney has path

DES MOINES, Iowa- The election is all about an economy that Iowa voters think President Obama has done too little to fix. A Des Moines Register Iowa Poll shows Obama is ahead in Iowa 49% to 45%. But if Mitt Romney can convince voters that he truly knows how to doctor the nation's ailing economy, the GOP presidential candidate can still put Iowa in his pocket, political analysts say. Half of Iowa adults disapprove of the job the Democratic president is doing on the economy, an issue that 59% of likely voters here rank as one of the most important,

WASHINGTON- When last we saw the chief justice of the United States on the bench, John Roberts was joining with the Supreme Court's liberals in an unlikely lineup that upheld President Barack Obama's health care overhaul. Progressives applauded Roberts' statesmanship. Conservatives uttered cries of betrayal. Now, the Supreme Court is embarking on a new term beginning Monday that could be as consequential as the last one, with the prospect for major rulings about affirmative action, gay marriage and voting rights. Many people on both the left and right expect Roberts to return to

US military deaths in

KABUL, Afghanistan- U.S. military deaths in the Afghan war have reached 2,000, a cold reminder of the human cost of an 11-year-old conflict that garners little public interest at home as the United States prepares to withdraw most of its combat forces by the end of 2014. The toll has climbed steadily in recent months with a spate of attacks by Afghan army and police against American and NATO troops, and questions about whether allied countries will achieve their aim of helping the Afghan government and its forces stand on their own after most foreign troops depart

Hugo Chávez’s desperate
bid for political survival

Venezuela’s cancer-stricken leader, Hugo Chávez, appears to be losing ground to opposition candidate Henrique Capriles Radonski, and the ruling party is taking dramatic steps to bully the opposition and to whitewash the results of the Oct. 7 balloting. Only in Venezuela could violent street gangs and a former U.S. president be on the same team. According to sources in Miraflores palace, about two months ago, Chávez began refusing cancer treatment and check-ups, insisting that returning to the campaign trail would invigorate him. In recent weeks, as doctors warned, this dangerous decision has taken a terrible toll.

MONTEVIDEO – The Uruguayan government announced Saturday the deactivation of an explosive device planted in its embassy building in Venezuela, and said that the case, which came eight days before the Venezuelan elections, is under investigation by the authorities. The bomb was discovered Friday morning in the garden of the building housing the Uruguayan Embassy, the Uruguayan Foreign Ministry said in a communique. The device, “which did not explode, was removed by Venezuelan police,” who proceeded to disarm it and who are currently “investigating the case,” he said. “There was no personal or material damage” at the Uruguayan diplomatic mission, he said.

Democrats, including Senator John Kerry, a possible Secretary of State if Barack Obama wins a second term, have joined Republicans in demanding answers as to why terrorists were able to murder the U.S. ambassador to Libya. The new Democratic demands as it emerged that no threat assessment was conducted before Chris Stevens, the late U.S. Ambassador, and his team began 'taking up residence' at the Benghazi compound. A source told Fox news that the security lapses were a 'total failure' and there was no proper security equipment installed in the compound's buildings apart from a small number of video

Congressional Republicans are threatening to subpoena a White House official who declined to speak to them in their investigation of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) gunwalking operation: Fast and Furious. (Snip) Just days after Newell testified to Congress on July 26, 2011 that he'd shared information with O'Reilly, whom he described as a long time friend, O'Reilly was transferred to Iraq and not available for questioning. Thereafter, he declined interviews with congressional investigators and the IG.

Democratic judges who surprised Harris County in a 2008 rout because of strong turnout for Barack Obama are bracing for a tough fight in November after seeing the GOP, which had a clean sweep in 2010, continue to bolster its position statewide. In the county's 23 contested state district court races, 18 Democrats will have to overcome strong Republican momentum to keep their benches. "It doesn't look great," said Brandon Rottinghaus, a political science professor at the University of Houston. "The state is trending conservative, so it will be difficult for Democrats to retain a lot of those seats."

On the eve of his death, U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens was ebullient as he returned for the first time in his new role to Benghazi, the eastern Libyan city that embraced him as a savior during last year’s civil war. He moved around the coastal town in an armored vehicle and held a marathon of meetings, his handful of bodyguards trailing discreetly behind. But as Stevens met with Benghazi civic leaders, U.S. officials appear to have underestimated the threat facing both the ambassador and other Americans. They had not reinforced the U.S. diplomatic outpost there to meet strict safety

Lee Boyd Malvo said he remembers each of the sniper shootings in detail. But one moment — one image — stands out among the carnage of that terrifying time 10 years ago: “Mr. Franklin’s eyes.” Malvo remembers being in the blue Chevrolet Caprice, in which police found binoculars and walkie-talkies. He scanned the area to make sure John Allen Muhammad had a clean shot. He gave the “go” order and looked across Route 50 in Seven Corners at the target. Muhammad, hidden on a hill above, pulled the trigger. A bullet screamed across the highway, instantly killing Linda Franklin

Obama Played Politics

A tipping point in the ongoing efforts by the Obama administration to downplay the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya may have been reached this weekend. After weeks of placidly regurgitating the White House spin on the Libya attack, the headlines on the front page of the New York Times showed that even the leading liberal cheerleader for the president understood the game was over: “Shifting Reports on Libya Killings May Cost Obama; An Opening for Romney; Intelligence Aides Say Attack on Compound Was ‘Organized.’” That sums the situation up nicely but the Times has it slightly

Much has been said about an alleged "hidden neo-liberal package" fabricated by opposition candidate Henrique Capriles Radonski to be implemented in the event of taking office. Both the challenger and members of his campaign team have stubbornly rebutted it. Nevertheless the matter was good for spokespersons of the Unified Democratic Panel (MUD) to refer to the Socialist Plan 2013-2013, labeled by them as communist. "There is consistency of what used to be called the communist world with what is purported here in Venezuela," commented in a recent press conference, José Guerra, former chief research officer at the

On our podcast today, Brian Ward, Steve Hayward and I talked about the obviously bogus polls that purport to show Barack Obama with a big lead in various swing states, even though those same polls show Romney winning independent voters by significant margins. Those results make sense only if enormous numbers of voters are signing up as Democrats. But is there any evidence of any such trend? Not at all; the evidence is entirely to the contrary. Hugh Hewitt, among others, has been talking about these data: Voter registration in the Buckeye State is down by 490,000

Casting a ballot in the upcoming presidential election in Venezuela will require Oscar Ganem to drive 832 miles from his home in Pompano Beach to a polling station in New Orleans. That's no sweat, he says, for he despises President Hugo Chavez so much he's willing to travel great distances to help oust the socialist leader. "It's a message to a dictator that you can't take away freedom and democracy from us," said the Weston-based paralegal. "We will drive up 19,000 miles if we have to."

A kind-hearted soldier rescued a baby squirrel on the verge of death and then nursed him back to health by feeding him every four hours. Warrant officer Pyotr Pankratau was serving in the Belarussian army when he discovered the tiny baby squirrel under a tree. Despite his military duties, Pankratau took him back to base and managed to squeeze in feeds of milk every four hours around his busy schedule. Incredibly, the baby squirrel made a full recovery and stayed with Pankratau throughout his two years of service in the army. Pankratau named the squirrel Minsk

CARACAS - Gunmen shot and killed two local leaders of parties backing presidential challenger Henrique Capriles on Saturday in the worst violence of a volatile campaign before Venezuela's election next weekend, the opposition said. Capriles' party, Primero Justicia (First Justice), said the gunmen fired from a van that witnesses identified as belonging to state oil company PDVSA or the local mayor's office during a rally in the agricultural state of Barinas. The government of President Hugo Chavez, who is seeking re-election, confirmed the deaths and vowed the perpetrators would be brought to justice. Interior Minister Tareck El Aissami

His testimony is merely an indictment of the Democrat Party, not from a racial or partisan perspective, but from a Christian one. Honestly, I would love to hear anyone attempt to argue against the points the Bishop makes about Planned Parenthood, same sex marriage, and most especially the Democratic Party's attacks against God

Out-of-hours GPs are being left to care on their own for up to half a million patients. Cost-cutting NHS chiefs are routinely assigning just one family doctor to districts that stretch over hundreds of square miles. A third of primary care trusts, which manage GP services, have slashed night and weekend spending over the past 12 months. In Cornwall, some nights have seen one GP looking after 535,000 patients. In Mid Essex just one doctor is in charge of 370,000 between 7pm and 8am. And after axing one of its two doctors, North East Essex has the same

In recent remarks to an AIM conference, "ObamaNation: A Day of Truth," former Democratic pollster and analyst Pat Caddell said, "I think we're at the most dangerous time in our political history in terms of the balance of power in the role that the media plays in whether or not we maintain a free democracy." Caddell noted that while First Amendment protections were originally provided to the press so they would protect the liberty and freedom of the public from "organized governmental power," they had clearly relinquished the role of impartial news providers.

Politicians looking for savings to deal with the national debt crisis should perhaps start by abolishing the President. Barack Obama and his family cost the taxpayer $1.4billion per year, according to a recently published book. By contrast, the British Royal Family costs less than $60million each year. Two of the principal costs of the the Obama presidency - and any other presidency - are staffing and security, according to Robert Keith Gray's book Presidential Perks Gone Royal. When it comes to keeping the First Family safe, few would dispute that it is worth paying a high price to keep

One thing the internet has shown us, is that few people can resist looking at images of cute animals. Now new research has revealed that looking at cute images of baby animals doesn’t just make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, but can actually improve your work performance and help you concentrate. The study comes from researchers at Hiroshima University. In Japanese, the word ‘kawaii’ means cute and so the report is rather appropriately entitled ‘Power of Kawaii’. Through three separate experiments a team of scientists found that people showed higher levels of concentration being shown pictures of

There have been lots of interesting responses to last week’s column about Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, but none more interesting than the response of al-Mansour himself. [Snip] Just two days after my column appeared, al-Mansour was doing damage control — telling Buzzfeed.com that he had never talked to OPEC Secretary General Rene Ortiz about setting up the $200 million fund, as Jarrett had reported — and that indeed he had never even talked to Jarrett about the topic. That, of course, would make Jarrett either a liar or a charlatan, which considering his distinguished 50-year career in journalism, including long stints
