GOP has a shot at flipping a Texas Democrat House seatJohn Feehery: Kyle Sinclair likes to joke that he has passed as many laws as his opponent: zero. Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas), who has been in Congress since 2013, is a favorite of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and attends all the right cocktail parties, along with his twin brother, Julian. But that access to the Speaker is no substitute for doing the hard work of legislating. Most analysts don’t give Sinclair much of a chance against the well-funded Castro. He won last time by a substantial margin, the district has a distinct Hispanic flavor and it routinely votes in ... read more

The revelation came during a Dec. 8 exchange with Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D., N.H.), who asked how Adm. Christopher Grady intends to implement "women, peace, and security" legislation within the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "The role of a gender adviser is a way to attack ... read more

There Are No ‘Common Values’ Between Europeans And The USThe virtual summit for democracy organised from Washington is a gigantic qui-pro-quo. Many commentators have noted that it does not aim to promote a political regime, but to ideologically consolidate the military alliance behind the United States; a development that prepares new wars. Thierry Meyssan shows that, far from being hypocritical, Washington is on the contrary very clear in its objective. It is his partners who bear the blame by pretending to ignore that the words he uses do not have the same meaning for them. read more
