AVON LAKE, OHIO- Mitt Romney on Monday canceled some campaign events because of Hurricane Sandy and urged supporters to donate to the American Red Cross. “I want to mention that our hearts and prayers are with all the people in the storm's path. Sandy is another devastating hurricane by all accounts, and a lot of people are going to be facing some real tough times as a result of Sandy's fury,” he said. “And so if you have the capacity to make a donation to the American Red Cross, you can go online and do that.

NYU terrorism class asks students

It’s Terrorism 101. A New York University class on transnational terrorism is requiring students to “hypothetically plan a terrorist attack” — and shocked cops say the outrageous lesson plan is an insult to the officers killed on Sept. 11. The controversial course, taught by former Navy criminal investigator Marie-Helen Maras, asks the pupils to “step into [a terrorist’s] shoes” and write a 10- to 15-page paper on their battle plan. “Some of the most notorious terrorists, including Anwar al-Awlaki, got their start on American campuses. It looks like after the CIA killed al-Awlaki,

GENEVA – The two U.N. agencies for health and weather services have created a new "atlas" of scientific data that they say offers fresh evidence of the links between climate change to outbreaks of meningitis, malaria and other diseases. The World Health Organization director-general says the manual, which includes maps, tables and graphs, provides a practical guide to "climate-sensitive diseases" that decision-makers and leaders can use as a tool for prevention. Dr. Margaret Chan told reporters Monday in Geneva that 80 percent of the infectious diseases currently found in humans have come from

Ann Romney earlier this year at a private fundraiser described Mitt Romney as the "grown-up" the country needs to repair the economy and prevent an economic collapse in the style of Greece. "You know — the ship's going over the waterfall; it's almost there," the former Massachusetts first lady said in March at a private fundraiser in Orange County, Calif., according to audio obtained by Mother Jones and published Monday. "And we look what's happening in Greece, and we look what's happening around the world, we look what's happening internationally. This is a frightening world, and we need a grown-up,

Forget Abortion! NPR Promotes
The 'Rights' and 'Souls' of Plants

As liberal reporters obsess and nearly faint in the waning days of the campaign that conservatives would dare to assert a right to life for a human being conceived in rape, NPR.org offers a better idea: Plants deserve rights. The NPR headline: “Recognizing the Right of Plants to Evolve.” Unborn babies have no rights...unlike the sensitive weeds in your garden? Pro-choice, but anti-chili pepper? Linton Weeks never mentioned abortion in this philosophical exploration as he began: If proposals calling for rights for animals are on the table, why not rights for other living things? Plants, for instance.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who formerly served as President Barack Obama's White House chief of staff, promised a Florida fourth-grader interviewing him that "after the election"--but not before--he would tell him some funny stories about President Obama. Jaylen Williams, a student in West Palm Beach, asked Emanuel on October 22: “Do you have any funny stories you can tell us about President Obama?” Emanuel, who was visiting an Obama campaign office, responded: “Funny stories about the president? Well, let's see, I'm trying to think -- there's all kinds of stories, I mean things that we

Obama on 'Flexibility' with Putin:
'It's Hard to Negotiate Additional
Treaties When I'm Off Campaigning’

President Barack Obama said the reason he told Russia’s Dimitry Medvedev back in March--more than seven months before this year's presidential election--that he would have “more flexibility” after the election to work with Russian leader Vladimir Putin was because he was too busy campaigning and doing other "stuff." “The discussion there very much just had to do with the fact that it’s hard to negotiate additional treaties when I’m off campaigning and doing all kinds of stuff,” Obama said on Friday, explaining his open-mic comments with then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev earlier this year.

It is expected to be the mother of all cyber diplomatic battles. When delegates gather in Dubai in December for an obscure UN agency meeting, fighting is expected to be intense over proposals to rewrite global telecom rules to effectively give the United Nations control over the Internet. Russia, China and other countries back a move to place the Internet under the authority of the International Telecommunications Union, a UN agency that sets technical standards for global phone calls. US officials say placing the Internet under UN control would undermine the freewheeling nature of cyberspace,

Is the Ohio Trend Romney’s Friend?

MARION, Ohio- Paul Ryan stood onstage Sunday evening and told a fired-up crowd of nearly 5,000 supporters, "As Ohio goes, so goes America." Few would argue with the Republican vice presidential candidate. Of the 11 states rated as "toss ups" by Real Clear Politics, none is more fiercely contested than the Buckeye State, whose 18 Electoral College votes appear destined to decide this election. And the latest poll, commissioned by a consortium of Ohio's eight largest newspapers, shows the state a dead heat, with 49 percent each for GOP challenger Mitt Romney and President Obama. Perhaps more important,

In a new ad for ‘Catholics for Obama,’ Vice President Joe Biden boasts he is a “practicing Catholic” and explains that Obama’s platform matches his understanding of Catholic doctrine. “As a practicing Catholic like many of you, I was raised in a household where there was absolutely no distinction between the values my mom and dad drilled into us and what I learned from the nuns and priests who educated me,” Biden explains as the camera focuses on a crucifix and a Bible. “We call it Catholic social doctrine: ‘Whatever you do to the least of these,

Spinning Polls, Obama Campaign
Gets Testy with Reporters

Breitbart's Big Journalism, by Joel B. Pollak Original Article

Leading Obama campaign strategists addressed reporters gruffly on a hastily convened conference call this morning, attempting to spin drifting poll numbers into a coherent message. "We're winning this race," senior political strategist David Axelrod insisted, citing early voting data. He warned: "You're gonna get spun and spun and spun in the next week," as if he were not spinning reporters himself, attacking the opposition vehemently. Continuing in the negative vein that has characterized the Obama campaign, Axelrod likened Romney's message to a Halloween costume: "Romney is running around the nation, posing as an agent of change," he said.

Hurricane Sandy, or FrankenStorm, is a Category One and already starting to lash against the East Coast. The worse case scenarios are frightening enough that a number of coastal areas, including parts of New Jersey and the lower parts of Manhattan, have already been evacuated. While the media does tend to over-hype these things, there's no question Sandy could be a historic and deadly storm. That, however, has not stopped Obama's surrogates in the form of Bill Clinton and NBC News from already using Sandy as a political weapon against Mitt Romney. It's a beautiful thing being Barack Obama,

The movie describes the clandestine and successful effort to extract six Americans who escaped the American Embassy before the remaining 52 were captured and held hostage for 444 days, until Ronald Reagan's inauguration in 1981. In a bold but eventually embarrassing move, Carter ordered a

From the Times of Israel: Soon after he took office, President Barack Obama began a process ultimately designed to reestablish full US diplomatic relations with Iran, including a reopening of embassies, an Israeli daily reported Sunday. The initiative, part of a wider shift in America’s diplomatic orientation, aimed at reaching understandings with

A new Boston Globe poll shows the race between Senator Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren in a dead heat, with ample opportunity for both candidates to win the nation’s most expensive Senate race eight days from now. The survey indicates Brown holds a razor-thin 45 percent to 43 percent lead over Warren among likely voters, well within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points. Brown’s lead evaporates, with 47 percent for each candidate, when voters who are undecided are asked which candidate they are leaning toward.
