Hojjat al-Eslam Ali Shirazi , the representative of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to the Islamic Republic's Qods Force, said this week that Iran needed just '24 hours and an excuse' to destroy Israel. In his first public interview for a year, reported in the Persian-language Jahan News, which is close to the regime, Shirazi said if Israel attacked Iran the Islamic Republic would be able to turn the war in to a war of attrition which would lead to Israel's destruction. (Snip) Khamenei appointed Shirazi a year ago as his representative to the Qods Force, the highly secretive

Sales of distressed homes continued to weigh heavily on the Chicago area's housing market in August and caused local homes prices to decline 2.5 percent from a year ago, according to a report issued Tuesday. Compared to July, home prices slipped 1.7 percent, housing data provider CoreLogic said. The decline, which totaled 2.3 percent for the state, meant Illinois was among the five states showing the greatest depreciation. The others were Rhode Island, down 2.6 percent; New Jersey, down 1.4 percent; Alabama, down 0.7 percent; and Connecticut, down 0.5 percent.

WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will respond on Tuesday to U.S. lawmakers who wrote to her requesting information about an attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi last month in which four people died, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said. Clinton is ready to cooperate "closely" with Congress in investigating the attack in Benghazi, Nuland said at a regular daily news briefing. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the assault on the mission the evening of September 11.

According to our highly scientific 31 rules for using the NFL to predict the election, Mitt Romney now has a 69 percent chance of winning in November. Two weeks ago, I published a rule for every NFL franchise to compete with the Redskins Rule, which demonstrates a strong correlation between Washington's last home game before the election and the outcome of the presidential race. Four of those rules involve games played Sunday or Monday. The total score now stands at nine rules pointing to a Romney win and four pointing to an Obama win. The update is below.

The 60th Vote Regrets

One of the tragedies of the Obama Administration is the historic political accident that it had 60 Senate Democratic votes in 2009. The ability to break a filibuster without Republican votes empowered the left to think it could pass anything, and so it steamrolled ahead with ObamaCare, which needed every one of those 60 votes to pass. Now a couple of those Senators are expressing regrets about those votes after the fact. In our pages last week, former Indiana Democrat Evan Bayh rehearsed the looming economic damage from ObamaCare's medical-device tax.

In a bid to energize Christian voters, a new wave of ads from a prominent evangelical group that describe the president and Democratic Party as less than God-fearing and his administration antagonistic to religious groups is hitting battleground states. "Under Obama, faith is under attack," concludes the ads being placed in Iowa and Ohio media markets by the Campaign for American Values, headed by Gary Bauer, the former presidential candidate and the former head of the Family Research Council. "The national Democratic Party is on balance a very secular party and is increasingly hostile to faith-based voters,"

Moscow - Russia told NATO and world powers on Tuesday they should not seek ways to intervene in the Syrian war or set up buffer zones between rebels and government forces. The statements from Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov was one of Moscow's most specific warnings yet to the West and Gulf Arab leaders to keep out of the 18-month-old conflict. "In our contacts with partners in NATO and in the region, we are calling on them not to seek pretexts for carrying out a military scenario or to introduce initiatives such as humanitarian corridors or buffer zones," Gatilov said,

Yesterday, AFSCME put out a rather silly ad featuring Mitt Romney’s former garbage collector in La Jolla, California. The ad begins: My name is Richard Hayes, and I pick up Mitt Romney’s trash. We’re kind of like the invisible people. He doesn’t realize that the service we provide – if it wasn’t for us, it would be a big health issue, us not picking up trash. Get the sledgehammer message? Mitt Romney doesn’t understand! Romney could have no idea about quotidien things such as trash collection because his wealth and detachment prevent him from having to know

The focus on fundamentals is about to begin.

Investors are searching for yield in an environment of rock bottom rates. But judgment day is coming.

China is a nuclear power with the world's largest army and a population of over 1.3 billion people. It boasts the world's second-largest economy, and is the largest single foreign owner of U.S. public debt. Its Communist Party regime, in place since 1949, now serves as a model for authoritarian states around the globe. And it may well be heading toward a major economic and political crisis.

Vice President Biden said Tuesday that the middle class has been “buried” for the last four years. Biden made the remark at a campaign rally while arguing that Republicans would raise taxes on the middle class. He said the tax hike would be especially bad given what the middle class has been through over the last four years. “This is deadly earnest, man. This is deadly earnest,” the vice president said. “How they can justify, how they can justify raising taxes on the middle class that has been buried the last four years?

The Florida Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Tuesday on whether an illegal immigrant can be granted a law license. The case is being brought before the court by the state’s Board of Bar Examiners, which has asked the court for an opinion on whether to grant a license to Jose Godinez-Samperio. Godinez-Samperio came from Mexico to the United States as a child with his parents, who had a tourist visa that has long since expired. He argues that he should be granted a law license under President Obama’s directive this summer that suspends deportation for

Without missing a beat she replied with a smirk: “My questions may be hot, but I am the opposite, I'm very cold.”

A plurality of Americans and more than seven in 10 Republicans say pollsters are intentionally skewing results to benefit President Obama, according to a new poll released Tuesday. Some 42 percent of voters surveyed by Daily Kos and SEIU believe pollsters are manipulating their sample sizes to benefit the incumbent president, while 40 percent do not. (Snip) Some Republicans — most prominently among them strategist Dick Morris — began questioning the sampling of some polls last week when surveys showed President Obama opening up a sizable lead in swing states, including Ohio and Florida.

The Arab Spring blossomed – and sometimes wilted – in nearly every country in the region aside from Jordan. Now, with large demonstrations planned for Friday in Amman - which organizers say will be the biggest the Hashemite Kingdom has seen in years - some question how long Jordan can remain immune from the demands for change that have swept through the region, sparking uprisings and unseating dictatorships. Jordan is a famously unique case: it’s a relatively small, stable country with a measure of freedom and a popular monarchy. (Snip) “I don’t think Jordan is on the same Arab Spring

SPRINGFIELD — The Obama administration and Gov. Pat Quinn have mapped out an end-run around the GOP that will enable the state to unload the long-mothballed Thomson Correctional Center for $165 million, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin’s office confirmed Tuesday. The federal government will pay that amount to convert the facility, built in the 1990s but never opened because the state couldn’t afford to staff it, into a maximum-security prison. That conversion will give the state’s battered treasury an unexpected windfall and pump 1,000 prison jobs and several hundred construction

Sen.

(snip) If true, “the EPA may be criminally liable for its conduct,” Sen. Inhofe says. Citing a June 2005 report, ‘Human Pesticide Experiments,’ Inhofe says “[T]he EPA’s conduct may violate laws, regulations and ethical standards set for the protection of human subjects.” In a separate statement announcing the letter, Sen. Inhofe says he "finds it extremely disturbing the EPA may have conducted illegal human experiments."
