The first in a slew of Army units designed to expand American military presence across the globe is heading Africa Command, tasked with forging and increasing military cooperation with U.S. allies on the continent, according to Deputy Defense Secretary Ash Carter. The Army's initial regionally aligned brigade assigned to the command will be part of an overarching Army realignment to focus on specific hot spots across the globe, Carter said in a Wednesday speech at the Association of the U.S. Army's annual conference in Washington.

Patrick Moran, the son of Virginia Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) and the field director for his father's reelection bid, resigned abruptly Wednesday after a video linked him to voter fraud. The video — released earlier in the day by Project Veritas, a conservative organization headed by the Republican activist James O’Keefe — revealed that the younger Moran had weighed options for helping an undercover operative cast votes on behalf of 100 people who allegedly weren't planning to vote. "There will be a lot of voter protection, so, if they just have, you know, the utility bill

Just one hour after the seven-hour-long terrorist attacks upon the U.S. consulate in Benghazi began, our commander-in-chief, vice president, secretary of defense and their national security team gathered together in the Oval Office listening to phone calls from American defenders desperately under siege and watching real-time video of developments from a drone circling over the site. Yet they sent no military aid that might have intervened in time to save lives. Why? The attack began on September 11, at about 10:00 p.m. Libyan time (4:00 p.m. in Washington).

Hurricane Sandy could be
Halloween nightmare for USA

Hurricane Sandy's rampage through the Caribbean today and Thursday is only the beginning: Forecasters say the storm could morph into a monstrous nor'easter and slam the U.S. East Coast next week — or it could miss us entirely. If it hits the Northeast the day before Halloween, as one computer model shows, it would be a disastrous storm, bringing coastal flooding, drenching rainfall, high winds, downed trees, power outages, travel mayhem and even Appalachian snow, according to AccuWeather meteorologist Alex Sosnowski. Could that happen? Unfortunately,

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he didn’t have trouble finding a buyer for the Westchester house where his estranged wife hanged herself. “Actually, the house is already sold,” the environmentalist said of the eco-friendly Bedford estate that just hit the market for a hair under $4 million. Kennedy, who was dating actress Cheryl Hines while in a divorce battle with wife Mary, said he’s not moving out of New York. “I’ve been living in a different house [in New York] for many years,” he said. “I’m going to stay in the house I’ve been living in with my children.”

"There are very few people that get up and say they love road construction, but I think everyone is happy when you open a road up," Perry told those gathered for the dedication.

Liberal cable anchor Chris Matthews, who in 2010 used the phrase "shuck and jive," on Wednesday assailed Sarah Palin as racist for using the phrase "shuck and jive." Referring to a Facebook post the former Alaska governor wrote about Obama and Libya, Matthews ranted, "You know, a dog whistle is a dog whistle...A trumpet call is another." The MSNBC host insisted that "shuck and jive" has "a particular ethnic connection" and "to throw it at the president as an ethnic shot is pretty blatant."

Cedar Rapids, Ia. – It’s not hard to find stylistic differences between the campaigns of President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney, but an especially noticeable one comes in live music. Obama frequently has live acts perform ahead of his campaign appearances – from local bar bands to some of the biggest names in pop music. And for Romney … well, not so much. That changed during his rally at the Eastern Iowa Airport on Wednesday, though. Opening up for Romney was Ricky Skaggs, the country, bluegrass and gospel star

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 50% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 46%. Two percent (2%) prefers some other candidate, and two percent (2%) are undecided. This is the second straight day with Romney enjoying a 4-point advantage. Prior to that, with the exception of the convention bounces, neither candidate had led by more than three points for months. However, it is not clear whether this represents a lasting change in the race or is merely statistical noise.

The Obama campaign is invoking former Vice President Al Gore's loss in the 2000 presidential race to encourage Americans to vote. The ad, "537", warns that the margin of victory in the 2012 presidential race could be only a few hundred votes, similar to former President George W. Bush's margin of victory in Florida over Gore during the 2000 presidential race. "Five-hundred thirty seven: the number of votes that changed the course of American history," a voice-over in the ad says. "The difference between what was and could have been.

Boca Raton, Fla. - On an electoral map that still poses challenges for Mitt Romney, one heartening trend for the Republican nominee can be found in Florida, whose 29 electoral votes constitute the largest prize among the battleground states. In recent weeks, the Sunshine State has moved clearly in Romney's direction. After President Obama led in every Florida poll released in the second half of September, Romney has been ahead in nine of the last 10 surveys conducted, leading his opponent by 1.8 percent in the latest RCP Average of polls here.

Color North Carolina light red. CNN is moving its classification of the swing state from true "toss up" to "lean Romney." Four years ago then Sen. Barack Obama became the first Democrat since 1976 to carry North Carolina in a presidential election. And this summer the Democrats held their nominating convention in Charlotte. While the Obama campaign continues to run ads in North Carolina, spending just over $1.2 million to run spots over the past week, according to Campaign Media Analysis Group, which tracks ad spending for CNN, the president hasn't made a campaign stop in the state since his

When the histories of the 2012 campaign are written, much will be made of Bill Clinton's re-emergence. His convention speech may well have marked the finest moment of President Obama's re-election campaign, and his ads on the president's behalf were memorable. But there is one crucial way in which the 42nd president may not have served the 44th quite as well. In these final weeks before the election, Mr. Clinton's expert advice about how to beat Mitt Romney is starting to look suspect. You may recall that last spring, just after Mr. Romney locked up the Republican nomination,

Working mothers may have to juggle more tasks than their husbands, but the long-held belief that women are better than men at multi-tasking is a myth, according to new Swedish research. "On the contrary, the results of our study show that men are better at multi-tasking than women," Timo Mäntylä, a psychology professor at Stockholm University, said. Men are sometimes better than women at handling multiple tasks simultaneously, but the performance gap is correlated to the female menstrual cycle, according to his study, to be published in US peer-reviewed journal Psychological Science. In line with previous research, men and women

Mitt Romney has advanced to a slight lead over Barack Obama in trust to handle the economy, and Obama has slipped beneath a clear majority in who better understands the public’s economic problems – two key metrics of the 2012 presidential race. These trends in the latest ABC News/Washington Post daily tracking poll aren’t strong enough to change current preferences, nor is the 2-1 view that Obama won Monday night’s final debate. But they’re among the underlying dynamics making the race seem closer now than a month ago. The candidates remain essentially tied, with 49 percent of likely voters for Romney,

Miller suggested that Matthews’ ego played a role in his breathless coverage. “I can’t believe that Chris Matthews is such an egocentric character, that he couldn’t see that he literally became the town crier on the death knell of Barack Obama’s presidency, when he came out that night and so needs to be the center of it
