Don’t bring the debt ceiling into border negotiations – Washington Examiner
Don’t bring the debt ceiling into border negotiations – Washington Examiner

With a little more than a fortnight to go before the government shuts down once more in the absence of a budget deal, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has publicly touted bringing a debt ceiling deal into the mix of border security negotiations. This should really go without saying, but adding even more brinkmanship into Republicans’ common sense compromise is a terrible call.

For one thing, Democrats successfully called President Trump’s bluff in the shutdown. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., simply waited out the five-week political faux pas, banking on the fact that the public would blame Trump for making what essentially amounted to an eleventh hour demand. Although Trump’s actual demands were sensible enough, just one billion dollars more for border security than Democrats pushed for in the Gang of Eight bill in 2013, Pelosi successfully framed the narrative not as Democratic obstruction but Republicans holding the government hostage. And she won.

The debt ceiling issue will arise on its own in March, and Congress will have to vote on authorizing the government to borrow money and pay back its debts. Our skyrocketing national debt is a ticking time bomb of its own, one now much greater than our annual gross domestic product and reaching a proportion of our economy not seen in almost a century. Social security, which Trump has foolishly promised not to touch, will become insolvent in just 15 years, and Medicare is currently spending more than three times per capita of what its recipients paid into it.

But the solution to our egregious national debt is not to default on our loans, or even to threaten to.

Any further manipulation of the debt ceiling would backfire. Republicans want a physical barrier along the southern border as well as extra funding for courts and personnel, but they’ve made clear that they’re open to issuing major concessions to the Democrats to get it. And if you support both letting the people already here stay and preventing new illegal immigrants from coming in, Trump’s compromise makes sense. Granting a sizable DACA extension — a constitutional one this time — or amnesty cannot be done so long as the border remains so permeable without incentivizing further illegal immigration. And Democrats would be dumb to give Trump his key campaign promise without demanding a permanent and legal solution to the fates of DACA recipients and temporary protected status holders.

Trump’s problem right now is one of messaging. He’s logically correct in his compromise, or at least the direction that he’s going in. He’s no longer withholding pay from 800,000 federal workers. If Pelosi refused to name her price when Trump has made his inelasticity of demand so apparent, it means one of two things: She’s an actual open borders extremist who’s made a full 180 on the importance of sovereignty and law enforcement, or she cares about “Dreamers” so little that she’d rather blow a once-in-an-administration opportunity to secure their destinies forever.

This is the story Republicans need to be telling. But to add an issue as economically threatening and politically toxic as the debt ceiling into the mix would only complicate the story, not clarify it.

Polar Vortex Live Updates: Extreme Cold Weather Grips Midwest – The New York Times
Polar Vortex Live Updates: Extreme Cold Weather Grips Midwest – The New York Times

There would be no chance of a scoop of stracciatella at Frio Gelato on Clark Street (not that anyone would want it), or Wiener schnitzel at the Berghoff Cafe downtown.

[You could get frostbite in a matter of minutes. Here’s what to do.]

Commerce slowed throughout the Midwest but the frigid conditions were unlikely to exact a lingering economic toll. In a 2015 report, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago concluded that winter weather had “a significant, but short-lived effect on economic activity.”

But economists, the report suggested, have long struggled to pinpoint the financial consequences of events like this week’s polar vortex, especially because regional and national economies are shaped by so many factors.

Still, plenty of businesses were not running as usual on Wednesday, suggesting that locally felt consequences might not surface in long-range data. Even “Disney on Ice,” which was scheduled to run on Wednesday night at Chicago’s United Center, was canceled.

[Read more here about how the deep freeze is hitting the homeless.]

Through it all, some restaurants pressed on.

At Huck Finn, a diner on the Southwest Side, there were fewer patrons than usual, said Demetri Hiotis, the general manager. But the people who did come in were cheerful, almost exuberant.

“It’s like they’re living through some kind of weather history — everyone else stayed in, and we’re here doing our thing,” Mr. Hiotis said. “There’s a sense of pride. It’s 22 below but I still went to work, got my breakfast, got my coffee and doughnut.”

    Russia claims no knowledge of plane sent to Venezuela ‘to extract 20 tonnes of gold’ from national bank – The Telegraph
    Russia claims no knowledge of plane sent to Venezuela ‘to extract 20 tonnes of gold’ from national bank – The Telegraph

    It was the first time it had made the route, the data showed.

    Novaya Gazeta said that the plane carried two crew teams and suggested there was no obvious reason for it to fly there: Russian tourists are officially recommended not to visit Venezuela, sales of package tours to the country have stopped long ago, and Russia’s Foreign Ministry hasn’t announced plans to evacuate Russian citizens from the country. 

    Venezuelan social media was alive with theories, including that the place had brought mercenaries, or was there to escort Maduro into exile.

    Venezuela’s Finance Minister Simon Zerpa claimed there were no Russian planes in the Caracas airport, despite the pictures.

    Responding to questions about the gold, Peskov urged journalists “to be careful with different hoaxes.” 

    Maduro claims he is facing a Washington-backed coup attempt led by opposition leader Juan Guaido, who last week proclaimed himself president and was recognized by the United States as the legitimate head-of-state.

    Russia has accused US President Donald Trump’s administration of trying to usurp power in Venezuela and warned against any military intervention. The Kremlin on Tuesday condemned new U.S. sanctions against Venezuela’s vital oil sector as illegal interference in the OPEC member’s affairs.

    Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday that Russian government “will do anything” to support Maduro.

He’s also been sanctioned for supporting Russia’s occupation in Ukraine.

    Sergei Zhukov/AP

    In 2006, Russian President Vladimir Putin hosted a dinner for President George W. Bush and other world leaders in St. Petersburg, Russia. In a photo, the man standing behind them is the caterer, wearing a tux and a white bow tie. His name is Yevgeny Prigozhin.

    His nickname is “Putin’s chef.” So what’s the big deal about him?

    “He epitomizes a real renaissance man in contemporary Russia, which is to say that he runs some very high-end restaurants,” said Angela Stent, the head of Russian Studies at Georgetown University and author of the forthcoming book Putin’s World.

    Interesting. But what else does he do?

    “He was the one running this Internet Research Agency, this troll factory in St. Petersburg that managed to mobilize thousands of Americans from 5,000 miles away to demonstrate and protest in the 2016 election,” said Stent.

    That gets your attention. And there’s more.

    Yevgeny Prigozhin (second right) shows Russian President Vladimir Putin, center, around his Concord Catering factory, outside St. Petersburg in 2010. The company has secured large government contracts to provide school lunches and feed the Russian military.

    “He also runs Wagner, one of the largest mercenary private military groups in Russia,” she added. “His troops are in Syria, they’re in Ukraine, they’re in a number of other places, where they are fighting in the Russian state’s interest.”

    So he’s got a lot cooking.

    Tracking the key figures around Putin, and how they fit into the Russia investigation in this country, can be confusing.

    Yet Prigozhin’s name is worth knowing. He’s burly and bald, at age 57. And while his name keeps cropping up, he’s largely invisible — even in Russia.

    “He doesn’t have much of a public persona in Russia. Until very recently he was virtually unknown,” said Dmitri Simes, who heads the Center for the National Interest, a think tank in Washington, D.C. “This is not a person who speaks at important political or business meetings. This is not a person who regularly appears on TV.”

    So where did Prigozhin come from?

    He spent most of his 20s in prison on robbery, fraud and prostitution convictions. In the 1990s, he rebuilt his life with hotdog stands, which evolved into a catering business in St. Petersburg, Putin’s hometown.

    “He proceeded to get a big break catering high-profile events, one with Vladimir Putin and French President Jacques Chirac in 2001,” said Michael Kofman, who closely follows Russia for the U.S. government-funded research organization CNA. “Eventually, he got a massive contract for feeding the Russian military and the Russian armed forces, which is probably where most of his money comes from.”

    At a recent press conference, Putin was dismissive when asked about his putative chef.

    “All my chefs are employed by the Federal Guard Service. They are all servicemen holding different ranks. I have no other chefs,” Putin said.

    Regarding the private military company, Putin added: “If they comply with Russian laws, they have every right to work and promote their business interests anywhere in the world.”

    Those interests extend to Syria. In a dramatic confrontation last year, Russian mercenaries tried to seize an oil facility that was held by the U.S military and its allies.

    As it was unfolding, former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said he wanted to find out who the attackers were and make sure they weren’t part of the formal Russian army. The U.S. military contacted their Russian counterparts on a “deconfliction” hotline the two sides use to make sure they didn’t shoot at each other in Syria.

    “The Russia High Command in Syria assured us it was not their people,” Mattis told Congress last year.

    Once that was cleared up, Mattis said, “My direction was for the force to be annihilated.”

    And it was. The Americans say more than 200 Russian mercenaries were killed in withering airstrikes before they retreated from the one-sided fight near the eastern city of Deir el-Zour.

    “They are hired mercenaries who fight for money,” Kofman said of the Wagner fighters. He said the mercenaries are allowed to keep a percentage of what they capture, and that’s why they targeted the oil facility.

    “They thought they’d take it and the thing turned out to be a fiasco,” he said.

    Kofman and other analysts see Prigozhin as the man funding these ventures, though he may not be involved in the details. In addition, it’s not clear how much guidance the Kremlin provides, but it may be limited to some general guidelines, according to analysts.

    Simes, meanwhile, notes that many rich businessmen in Putin’s orbit are often described as “oligarchs.” He disagrees with this label, saying it suggests they have real political power, which they don’t in Putin’s Russia.

    He describes the Putin-Prigozhin ties as “not a relationship of co-equals, not a relationship of two intimate friends, but somebody who knows Putin reasonably well, who benefited from that relationship and who is prepared to be of help when needed.”

    Because Prigozhin and others like him are not formally part of the government, the Kremlin can distance itself and deny they are acting on behalf of the Russian state.

    However, the U.S. government has shown a strong interest in Prigozhin.

    The Treasury Department sanctioned him in 2016 for supporting Russia’s military occupation in Ukraine.

    Robert Mueller’s team indicted him last February, saying he used his catering company to fund the Internet Research Agency, which interfered in the 2016 election.

    There’s virtually no record of Prigozhin speaking publicly. But he did comment on the indictment, telling Russia’s state-run Ria Novosti news agency, “Americans are very impressionable people. They see what they want to see. If they want to see the devil — let them see one.”

    There was a rare sighting in November, when a Libyan military delegation met their Russian counterparts in Moscow. A video of the meeting shows everyone in a military uniform — except one Russian, who’s conspicuously wearing a business suit. The man is Yevgeny Prigozhin.

    And in the latest twist, Reuters reports that hundreds of Russian mercenaries are now in Venezuela supporting Nicolás Maduro, the embattled president. The Kremlim denies this.

    Man punches two women: Suspect caught on camera punching two women outside Los Angeles bar turns himself in – CBS News
    Man punches two women: Suspect caught on camera punching two women outside Los Angeles bar turns himself in – CBS News

    The Los Angeles Police Department posted a video on Facebook Tuesday showing a man punching two women and knocking them to the ground before fleeing the scene.

    The incident took place Saturday at a hot dog stand in the city, the LAPD said. By Wednesday afternoon, the video had been viewed more than 80,000 times.

    The suspect, identified as Arka Sangbarani Oroojian, turned himself in Tuesday night, LAPD said Wednesday. He was booked for assault with a deadly weapon and his bail was set at $90,000. 

    After the incident, one witness told CBS Los Angeles the women started the fight. “There are two sides to every story and those women started it,” said the witness, identified only as Stewart.

    Stewart said the altercation started when the man got into a dispute with vendors about the price of a hot dog. He told KTLA the two women got involved, calling the man derogatory names and telling him to leave the vendors alone.

    “They started punching on him first and once they punched on him first and jumped on his back, then he defended himself by counter-punching these women so the video only caught the second glimpse of the story,” Stewart said.

    The father of one of the women said they were standing up for a street vendor that the man was hassling just before the fight began, KTLA reported.

    The video shows witnesses watching the two women get punched. No one appeared to go after the man when he ran away. 

    Stewart said the lack of intervention was because “guys don’t want to get into it, fighting this guy and get charges pressed on them.”

    Cold War-like tensions escalate as world powers take sides in Venezuela – Washington Examiner
    Cold War-like tensions escalate as world powers take sides in Venezuela – Washington Examiner

    Embattled Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said he was willing to negotiate on Wednesday in an interview with a Russian television program. “I am ready to sit at the negotiating table with the opposition,” Maduro said on RIA Novosti, “so that we can talk for the good of Venezuela, for peace and its future.”

    His words, however, were not all forward-looking and optimistic. Indeed, in the same interview, he accused President Trump of plotting to have him killed, although he gave no evidence to support the claim.

    Russia also took advantage of its ties to Caracas to push back on what it likely sees as heavy-handed U.S. influence in negotiations with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov demanding that preconditions for talks be dropped: “We call on the opposition to refuse ultimatums and to work together independently, guided only by the interest of the Venezuelan people.”

    China, which like Russia has investments tied up in Venezuela, also has criticized U.S. involvement. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang warned, “We believe that Venezuela’s affairs must and can only be chosen and determined by its own people, and we oppose unilateral sanctions.” He added, “China will continue to advance across-the-board cooperation with Venezuela to deliver more benefits to the people in both countries.”

    In the United States, President Trump made clear that U.S. support for opposition leader Juan Guaido wasn’t going away. On Wednesday he spoke with Guaido and offered additional public support after imposing new sanctions against Maduro on Monday, tweeting:

    Those split alliances, with Russia and China siding with Maduro and the United States and its allies backing Guaido, form the subtext for Maduro’s calls for international mediation. Any successful talks would require cooperation from both sides and their international backers.

    Should those negotiations be successful, paving the way for new elections, a peaceful transition, and setting Venezuela on the path of recovery, that would be a tremendous victory for diplomacy and demonstrate that the world is not yet so polarized that world powers cannot work together to solve regional crises.

    The other possibility, of course, is that entrenched differences and escalating tensions between Washington and Beijing and Moscow make negotiations impossible, leading to an ongoing standoff in Venezuela — or something worse. Given the billions of dollars at stake in lost investments, competing interests in Venezuela’s vast oil reserves, and the lure of a foothold in Latin America for Russia and China, that’s not an unlikely outcome.

    However the negotiations on Venezuela’s future play out, the international interests at play make the conflict a key indicator of global stability and the reality of renewed Cold War-style tensions. It’s surely a fight to watch with broad implications for future conflicts.

    Trump calls U.S. intelligence chiefs ‘passive and naive’ on Iran – Reuters

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump on Wednesday called top U.S. intelligence chiefs “extremely passive and naive” on Iran and dismissed their assessments of the threat posed by North Korea a day after they contradicted his views during congressional testimony.

    Leaders of the U.S. intelligence community told a Senate committee on Tuesday that the nuclear threat from North Korea remained and that Iran was not taking steps toward making a nuclear bomb, drawing conclusions that contrasted starkly with Trump’s assessments of those countries.

    “The Intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of Iran. They are wrong!” Trump said in a Twitter post.

    The Republican president cited Iranian rocket launches and said that Tehran was “coming very close to the edge.”

    “Perhaps Intelligence should go back to school!” he said.

    Trump last year pulled out of an international nuclear deal with Iran put in place under his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama, saying Tehran was “not living up to the spirit” of the agreement, and re-imposed sanctions.

    Under the 2015 deal, Iran and world powers lifted international sanctions on Tehran. In return, Iran agreed to restrictions on its nuclear activities, increasing the time it would need to produce an atom bomb if it chose to do so.

    The U.S. intelligence officials told the Senate Intelligence Committee Iran was not developing nuclear weapons in violation of agreement, even though Tehran threatened to reverse some commitments after Trump pulled out of the deal.

    Their assessments also broke with other assertions by Trump, including on the threat posed by Russia to U.S. elections, the threat that the Islamic State militant group poses in Syria and North Korea’s commitment to denuclearize.

    Trump has clashed with leaders of the U.S. intelligence community since even before he took office, most strikingly in disputing their finding that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. election with a campaign of hacking and propaganda to help him win the presidency.

    Former CIA Director John Brennan last year called Trump’s performance at a joint news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin “nothing short of treasonous” after Trump seemed to give credence to Putin’s denial of Russia meddling in the 2016 election. Trump then revoked Brennan’s security clearance.

    Brennan wrote on Twitter on Wednesday that Trump’s refusal to accept the U.S. intelligence community’s assessments on Iran, North Korea, Islamic State, Russia and other matters shows the extent of what he called the president’s “intellectual bankruptcy.”

    Nine days before assuming the presidency, Trump accused the intelligence community of leaking false information, saying “that’s something that Nazi Germany would have done.”

    SUMMITS WITH KIM

    Trump has invested heavily in improving relations with North Korea in hopes of getting the reclusive communist nation to abandon its nuclear ambitions. He broke with decades of U.S. policy when he agreed to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un last June and has planned a second summit in February.

    “North Korea relationship is best it has ever been with U.S. No testing, getting remains, hostages returned. Decent chance of Denuclearization,” Trump said in a Twitter post, drawing a comparison to the “horrendous” relationship under Obama.

    “Now a whole different story. I look forward to seeing Kim Jong Un shortly. Progress being made-big difference!”

    Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and CIA Director Gina Haspel told senators that North Korea viewed its nuclear program as vital to its survival and was unlikely to give it up.

    Trump also defended his decision to withdraw 2,000 U.S. troops from Syria on grounds that Islamic State no longer poses a threat, saying “we’ve beaten them.”

    “Caliphate will soon be destroyed, unthinkable two years ago,” Trump said on Twitter.

    Trump has given the U.S. military about four months to withdraw the troops in Syria, backtracking from his abrupt order in December for a pullout within 30 days.

    The U.S. spy chiefs said Islamic State would continue to pursue attacks from Syria and Iraq against regional and Western adversaries, including the United States.

    Intelligence committee member Senator Angus King, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, told CNN, “It’s still disturbing that the president doesn’t seem to want to listen to the people whose job it is to give him this information.”

    It feels like 51 below zero in Chicago: Polar vortex strikes Midwest – USA TODAY
    It feels like 51 below zero in Chicago: Polar vortex strikes Midwest – USA TODAY

    CHICAGO – An historic and deadly polar vortex gripped a wide swath of the nation Wednesday, with temperatures plunging far below zero and wind chill numbers as extraordinary as they are dangerous.

    Chicago’s temperature tumbled to 21 degrees below zero, a record for the date and closing in on the city’s all-time record of minus 27 set in 1985. The wind chill dipped to an even more startling 51 degrees below zero.

    The National Weather Service said the temperature reached minus 28 degrees in Minneapolis, poised to break a record dating back more than 100 years. The wind chill: minus 49.

    Wind chill temperatures in dozens of towns across Minnesota and North Dakota plummeted to 60 degrees below zero or less, the National Weather Service said. The early leader was Ely, Minnesota, with a very cool minus 70 degrees.

    Frostbite can set in within five minutes in such temperatures, the weather service said.

    “One of the coldest arctic air mass intrusions in recent memory is surging south into the Upper Midwest before spreading across much of the eastern two-thirds of the country,” the National Weather Service said, warning of “life-threatening wind chills, likely leading to widespread record lows and low maximum temperatures.”

    Thousands of flights into and out of airports in the region were delayed or canceled, including more than 1,000 flights at Chicago airports alone.

    Amtrak pulled the plug in Chicago, announcing the “extreme weather conditions and an abundance of caution” led the service to cancel all trains to and from the city on Wednesday. Short-distance services are also canceled on Thursday, Amtrak said.

    Light rail was also a mess, with some suburban lines shutting down Wednesday. The Chicago Transit Authority, which shuttles about 1.6 million riders on a typical weekday, said it was experiencing significant delays.

    Even the Postal Service took notice, announcing that due to concerns for the safety of its employees, mail won’t be delivered Wednesday in parts of at least 10 states.

    At least four deaths were linked to the weather system, including a man struck and killed by a snow plow in the Chicago area, a young couple whose SUV struck another on a snowy road in northern Indiana and a Milwaukee man found frozen to death in a garage.

    Almost 40,000 homes and businesses were without power in Indiana, Illinois, 

    Homeless shelters and warming centers were abuzz across the region. In Chicago, officials added 500 shelter beds and tapped more than 100 religious leaders to make calls and checks on senior citizens. Five Chicago Transit Authority buses were dispatched to give homeless people a place to warm up who might not want to go to a shelter.

    “Everyone of us has a role to check on somebody who is maybe a neighbor on the block who is elderly, infirm or needs extra help,” Mayor Rahm Emanuel said.

    The weather was headed east. New York’s forecast high for Thursday’s high was 16 degrees, with a wind chill of minus 15. The city Housing Authority activated its Situation Room, with heating response teams prepped to respond to heat and hot water emergencies. 

    Philadelphia enacted “Cold Blue,” including 24-hour outreach to find people who are homeless and transport them to safe indoor spaces.

    Pets were also a concern, Chicagoland Dog Rescue warned.

    “Don’t leave your pets outside unattended in this weather, period,” the rescue organization warned on Twitter. “Make sure your gates are latched and your dog(s) cannot escape your yard.”

    The weekend could finally bring relief. In Des Moines, Iowa, the temperature barreled down to minus 20 on Wednesday with a wind chill of minus 40. But Allan Curtis, a meteorologist with the Des Moines branch of the National Weather Service, said the temperature on Saturday could exceed 40 degrees above zero.

    “It may as well be basketball shorts weather,” Curtis said.

      Extreme cold gripping Midwest does not debunk global warming, experts say – NBC News

      The massive cold weather front descending over the Midwest this week has commentators straining for analogies (“Deep Freeze,” “Arctic Outbreak” and “Ice Age”) and at least some people wondering what has become of global warming.

      President Donald Trump and radio provocateur Rush Limbaugh seemed bemused by the notion that the climate is warming at a time when most of America will be hunkering down against sub-freezing temperatures.

      But climate authorities, including those inside Trump’s government, said the record-setting cold does nothing to contradict the consensus on climate change. According to a tweet Tuesday morning from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration: “Winter storms don’t prove that global warming isn’t happening.”

      List of 95K ineligible voters on the rolls may be overstated, Texas State Department suggests – Fox News

      Over 2,500 cases of potential citizenship fraud being investigated by US immigration officials

      The Texas secretary of state confirmed on Tuesday that it is working with election officials to winnow down the list of tens of thousands of registered voters going back to 1996 that the state’s attorney general said on Friday were noncitizens, after a fierce backlash from liberal groups that questioned the accuracy of the claims.

      Officials in the state made the bombshell announcement Friday that roughly 95,000 people identified as noncitizens in the state’s driver’s license and ID databases matched individuals in voter registration records. About 58,000 of those people voted in at least one election, state officials said.

      But on Tuesday, reports surfaced that local election officials were told by state elections administrators that some of the names were included “in error,” in part because many individuals whose names appeared on the list may have become naturalized citizens and therefore cast legal ballots.

      “As part of the process of ensuring that no eligible voters are impacted by any list maintenance activity, we are continuing to provide information to the counties to assist them in verifying eligibility of Texas voters,” Sam Taylor, the communications director for the Texas secretary of state, said in a statement to Fox News. “This is to ensure that any registered voters who provided proof of citizenship at the time they registered to vote will not be required to provide proof of citizenship as part of the counties’ examination.”

      DEMS DENY CHANGING TONE ON VOTER FRAUD AMID NORTH CAROLINA’S CONTESTED HOUSE ELECTION

      The New York Times reported that the state’s findings on Friday were a result of an 11-month investigation into records at the Texas Department of Public Safety.

      Gov. Greg Abbott praised the findings and hinted at future legislation to crack down on voter fraud. And President Trump cited the Texas numbers over the weekend to revisit claims of rampant voter fraud.

      “58,000 non-citizens voted in Texas, with 95,000 non-citizens registered to vote,” Trump tweeted over the weekend. “These numbers are just the tip of the iceberg. All over the country, especially in California, voter fraud is rampant. Must be stopped. Strong voter ID!”

      But Dallas County Elections Administrator Toni Pippins-Poole said Tuesday that state officials told her they’d discovered that some voters on the list previously provided proof of citizenship.

      Near Austin, Williamson County Election Administrator Chris Davis says the state also called him. He says there is a “significant” number of voters whose citizenship is no longer in question.

      The news comes one day after civil rights groups demanded that Texas officials walk back their initial claims.

      The ACLU, along with a dozen other voter and minority rights groups, sent election officials a letter calling the state’s method for identifying non-citizens “deeply flawed” and warning that local officials who took voters off their rolls based on those records risked violating federal law.

      “The methodology your office apparently employed to identify such voters looks deeply flawed, and its origins and intent are highly suspect,” the letter read.

      ANALYSIS: VOTER FRAUD EXISTS — EVEN THOUGH MANY IN THE MEDIA CLAIM OTHERWISE

      On Monday, several Texas county election chiefs said they didn’t know how many of these alleged matches would hold up once they investigated.

      Even Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Trump ally who said last week his office was ready to prosecute cases, told supporters in a fundraising email that “many of these individuals may have been naturalized before registering and voting, which makes their conduct perfectly legal.”

      Nearly 16 million people in Texas are registered to vote. The potential non-citizen matches found by the state go back as far as 1996, said Sam Taylor, a spokesman for the Texas secretary of state’s office.

      Taylor said Monday that his office used “our strongest possible matching criteria to make sure each of the matches was the same person.” He said that although county election chiefs were instructed Friday in a written advisory to treat the names as “WEAK matches” while they investigate,

      Taylor said it did not “mean the criteria used to match the names was weak.”

      Lisa Wise, the election administer in El Paso County along the U.S.-Mexico border, said she received a list of 4,100 potential noncitizens. She said her office would investigate, but that after a first scan she could tell all of the names wouldn’t hold up.

      Wise said that at naturalization ceremonies for new U.S. citizens, her office registers between 150 and 200 to people alone.

      “Anything is possible,” she said. “But I can tell just from our list, and I don’t know what anyone else’s looks like, but I can tell that universe is going to continue to shrink.”

      Allegations of voter fraud have become increasingly common in recent years. Stacey Abrams, the former Georgia gubernatorial candidate, pointedly refused to call her victorious opponent, Brian Kemp, the “legitimate” governor of the state, citing what she called voting irregularities. Abrams will deliver her party’s response to Trump’s State of the Union address next week.

      And no representative has been seated yet in the race for North Carolina’s 9th District, amid allegations that voter fraud helped the Republi

      The White House created a commission in 2017 to investigate allegations of voter fraud in the 2016 election. But it was eventually dismantled by Trump after the group faced lawsuits, opposition from states and in-fighting among its members.

      Trump said at the time that Democrats refused to hand over data “because they know that many people are voting illegally.”

      Democrats have dismissed claims of voter fraud and accused Republicans of trying to disenfranchise minority voters through rigid voter ID laws.

      Two wrenches in Washington’s oil sanctions against Venezuela: China and Russia – Washington Examiner
      Two wrenches in Washington’s oil sanctions against Venezuela: China and Russia – Washington Examiner

      On Monday, the United States imposed sanctions on Venezuelan oil exports in an effort to squeeze authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro. Although U.S. sanctions may well do the trick and pave the way for a stable resolution to the crisis, there are complicating factors : China and Russia.

      Even though China may be less willing to subsidize an unstable Maduro than in previous years, it is no less interested in the country’s oil and the $20 billion it’s owed for current investments. Russia too remains heavily invested in Maduro’s government as a result of billions of dollars in arms sales.

      If China and Russia become some of the only countries that Venezuela can export oil to, that gives those countries enormous leverage over Caracas.

      It also leaves China or Russia free to potentially take control of parts of the country’s oil industry. Indeed, Sinovesa offers a clear model for this arrangement. The firm, jointly owned by a Chinese state-owned company and a subsidiary of Venezuelan national oil monopoly PDVSA, has successfully boosted production and profitability.

      There’s no reason to think that in an effort to pay off loans, Maduro wouldn’t allow Beijing or Moscow to take more control of oil production.

      Another possibility stems from the reality that the new sanctions will significantly cut into the the oil revenue Venezuela currently depends on to pay off its massive debts owed to Russia and China.

      The fallout from that could be quite complicated due to Venezuela’s tangle of collateral and assets.

      As Ellen R. Wald points out in Forbes, Citgo, a Venezuelan-owned refinery in the United States, is collateral on Venezuela’s debts to Russian oil company Rosneft. If new sanctions mean that Maduro’s government cannot make good on repaying its loans, Rosneft could try to take partial ownership of Citgo as 49.9 percent of company shares are currently collateral against loans to Russia.

      That would likely set up a fight between the U.S. and Russia on the grounds that Russian control of Citgo would constitute a national security crisis potentially provoking conflict.

      Finally, as I explained on Friday, should U.S. efforts to oust Maduro prove successful and a new administration move to void agreements made with China and Russia, those countries would likely cast U.S. involvement as part of a broader strategy to undercut their power. That would not only complicate existing negotiations — for example trade war talks with Beijing — but likely escalate tensions.

      As the U.S. takes another step into the economic and diplomatic mess in Venezuela, Washington must recognize that it is not the only major player on the world stage with interests in Latin America. China and Russia have multi-billion dollar interests in Venezuela, and they want to make good on their investment — never mind what Washington thinks will lead to stability or be good for the people of Venezuela.

      US spy chiefs break with Trump on several threats to the US – Aljazeera.com
      US spy chiefs break with Trump on several threats to the US – Aljazeera.com

      China and Russia pose the biggest risks to the United States, and are more aligned than they have been in decades as they target the 2020 presidential election and American institutions to expand their global reach, US intelligence officials told senators on Tuesday.

      The spy chiefs broke with President Donald Trump in their assessments of the threats posed by North Korea, Iran and Syria. But they outlined a clear and imminent danger from China, whose practices in trade and technology anger the US president.

      While China and Russia strengthen their alliance, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said some American allies were pulling away from Washington in reaction to changing US policies on security and trade.

      The directors of the CIA, FBI, National Security Agency and other intelligence agencies flanked Coats at the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing. They described an array of economic, military and intelligence threats, from highly organised efforts by China to scattered disruptions by terrorists, hacktivists and transnational criminals.

      “China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea increasingly use cyber operations to threaten both minds and machines in an expanding number of ways – to steal information, to influence our citizens, or to disrupt critical infrastructure,” Coats said.

      “Moscow’s relationship with Beijing is closer than it’s been in many decades,” he told the panel.

      The intelligence officials said they had protected the 2018 US congressional elections from outside interference, but expected renewed and likely more sophisticated attacks on the 2020 presidential contest.

      US adversaries will “use online influence operations to try to weaken democratic institutions, undermine alliances and partnerships, and shape policy outcomes,” Coats said.

      North Korea, ISIL remain threats

      The intelligence chiefs’ assessments broke with some past assertions by Trump, including the threat posed by Russia to US elections and democratic institutions, the threat the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) poses in Syria, and North Korea’s commitment to denuclearise.

      Coats said North Korea was unlikely to give up its nuclear weapons. Trump asserted after the Singapore summit that North Korea no longer posed a nuclear threat.

      “The capabilities and threat that existed a year ago are still there,” said Robert Ashley, the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

      Plans for a follow-up Trump-Kim summit are in the works, but no agenda, venue or date has been announced.

      Coats also said ISIL would continue to pursue attacks from Syria, as well as Iraq, against regional and Western adversaries, including the US. Trump, who plans to withdraw US troops from Syria, has said the armed group was defeated.

      The intelligence officials also said Iran was not developing nuclear weapons in violation of the 2015 nuclear agreement, even though Tehran has threatened to reverse some commitments after Trump pulled out of the deal.

      The intelligence assessment of Afghanistan, more than 17 years into a conflict that began after the 9/11 attacks on the US projected a continued military stalemate. Without mentioning prospects for a peace deal, which appear to have improved only in recent days, the report said, “neither the Afghan government nor the Taliban will be able to gain a strategic military advantage in the Afghan war in the coming year” if the US maintained its current levels of support. Trump has ordered a partial pullback of US forces this year, although no firm plan is in place.

      Senators expressed deep concern about the current threats.

      “Increased cooperation between Russia and China – for a generation that hasn’t been the case – that could be a very big deal on the horizon in terms of the United States,” said Senator Angus King, an independent who caucuses with Democrats.

      Biggest counterintelligence threat

      The officials painted a multifaceted picture of the threat posed by China, as they were questioned repeatedly by senators about the No 2 world economy’s business practices as well as its growing international influence.

      “The Chinese counterintelligence threat is more deep, more diverse, more vexing, more challenging, more comprehensive and more concerning than any counterintelligence threat I can think of,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said. 


      He said almost all the economic espionage cases in the FBI’s 56 field offices “lead back to China”.

      Coats said intelligence officials have been travelling around the US and meeting corporate executives to discuss espionage threats from China.

      He said China has had a meteoric rise in the past decade, adding, “A lot of that was achieved by stealing information from our companies.”

      Tuesday’s testimony came just a day after the US announced criminal charges against China’s Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, escalating a fight with the world’s biggest telecommunications equipment maker and coming days before trade talks between Washington and Beijing.

      Coats also said Russia’s social media efforts would continue to focus on aggravating social and racial tensions, undermining trust in authorities and criticising politicians perceived to be anti-Russia.

      Senator Mark Warner, the panel’s top Democrat, said he was particularly concerned about Russia’s use of social media “to amplify divisions in our society and to influence our democratic processes” and the threat from China in the technology arena.

      The Senate Intelligence Committee is one of several congressional panels, along with Special Counsel Robert Mueller, investigating whether there were any connections between Trump’s 2016 and Russian efforts to influence the election.

      Russia denies attempting to influence US elections, while Trump has denied his campaign cooperated with Moscow, repeatedly calling the Mueller investigation a “witch-hunt”.  


      Coats declined to respond when Democratic Senator Ron Wyden asked whether Trump’s not releasing records of his discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin put US intelligence agencies at a disadvantage.

      “To me from an intelligence perspective, it’s just Intel 101 that it would help our country to know what Vladimir Putin discussed with Donald Trump,” Wyden said.

      The chiefs made no mention of a crisis at the US-Mexican border for which Trump has considered declaring a national emergency. Trump declared there was a humanitarian crisis at the border.

      Eric Trump: Democrats’ message doesn’t make sense anymore, almost an anti-American message

      Eric Trump, son of President Trump, in an interview on “Hannity” Tuesday, said he wants his father to declare a national emergency at the border if negotiations for a wall or barrier fall through.

      Trump referred to the battle with Democrats who oppose his father’s request of $5.7 billion for a border wall that resulted in a 35-day partial government shutdown and the looming threat of another one in upcoming weeks.

      TRUMP, DEMOCRATS REACH TEMPORARY DEAL TO END SHUTDOWN

      “Let’s see if they (the Democrats) were actually being truthful that once government was reopened and that they would come to the table and negotiate something that’s fair,” Trump said. “And honestly, if they don’t, declare the emergency.

      “Build the wall with the United States military because that’s what people in this country want,” he said.

      Trump also said he wants the redoubling of efforts on legal immigration.

        Record-breaking cold clobbers two-thirds of the U.S. as polar vortex descends from Arctic – AOL
        Record-breaking cold clobbers two-thirds of the U.S. as polar vortex descends from Arctic – AOL

        Jan 29 (Reuters) – Two-thirds of the continental United States will be a frozen ice box Tuesday, as the so-called polar vortex of frigid arctic air spins across the U.S. Midwest, clips the Great Lakes, the Ohio Valley and pushes on into New England.

        And the sub-zero cold and bitter winds will stick around for a couple of days, possibly bringing dozens of record lows with a life-threatening freeze before dissipating by the weekend, the National Weather Service reported (NWS).

        The polar vortex is a mass of freezing air that normally spins around the North Pole, but has slipped southward and swirled into the United States, forecasters said.

        The hardest-hit area will be the Midwest, where wind chill could bring temperatures as low as -50 F (-46C) in the Chicago area by Tuesday evening, the NWS reported. One-to-two feet of snow was forecast in Wisconsin, and six inches in Illinois.




        Even Alabama and Mississippi could see snow, the service added.

        “This arctic air dumps out of Canada and will affect us for days,” said Richard Bann, a forecaster with the NWS’s Weather Prediction Center in College Park Maryland.

        “We’ll even get some snow this afternoon in the (Washington) D.C. area,” he said. “And because it’s so cold, there won’t be much of a warm-up Wednesday. You’ll have to wait for the weekend, before you see any higher temperatures.”

        Blizzard conditions were predicted across parts of the western Ohio Valley and snow was expected through Wednesday from the Great Lakes region into New England.

        States of emergency have been declared from Wisconsin and Michigan, down to Alabama and Mississippi.

        In Illinois, Governor J.B. Pritzker said wind chill could drive temperatures to -55 degrees Fahrenheit in northern parts of the state on Tuesday evening, a level that can cause frostbite in a matter of minutes.

        “This is a potentially historic winter storm that will bring extreme cold to our state and all Illinoisans must prepare,” Pritzker said in a written statement released by his office.

        Parts of north and central Georgia are expecting about 2 inches of snow or more in the coming days, along with freezing rain and ice-slicked highways. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp shut down government offices in 35 counties Tuesday, and schools across swaths of the state are also closed.

        Air traffic in the region is affected, with more than 1,200 flights canceled and as many delayed, the flight tracking site FlightAware.com reported early Tuesday.

        Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines Inc said it would waive flight change fees for passengers affected by the winter weather in Chicago, Detroit and areas of the Upper Midwest.

        If Trump can’t get ‘the wall,’ give border agents ‘more wall’ – Washington Examiner
        If Trump can’t get ‘the wall,’ give border agents ‘more wall’ – Washington Examiner

        Talking about “the wall” is now like banging your head against one. President Trump did a fantastic job selling the idea to the public, but the debate on controlling our jungle-like immigration system has shifted and now he needs to adjust. Otherwise, the border will be no more secure when he leaves the White House than when he arrived.

        That means he needs to stop yelling about “the wall,” where Democrats are completely uncompromising and screaming “racism” for entirely political reasons. He needs to start talking about “more wall,” which all the border patrol agents I spoke to in Texas (mostly Latinos, by the way) are asking for.

        There is no “the wall” that will ever get built — not least because Trump has never explained what it would look like or where it would go. But more importantly, there is already “wall” in place. We just need more of it, and depending on where it goes, it’s going to look different.

        In the Rio Grande Valley sector at the southern border of Texas, more people are illegally crossing into the U.S. than anywhere else. There are sections of wall there — 25 feet of concrete and steel — that work to slow down or stop aliens, aiding in their apprehension by agents.

        A portion of the border barrier in the Rio Grande Valley sector of the Texas southern border.

        When I went there two weeks ago, they said they want more of that wall to fill in gaps where it hasn’t been built. They also want more money for cameras and additional agents.

        This has nothing to do with Trump. The pieces of wall that are there now were recommended by the border patrol in the 1990s and were built in 2008.

        But Trump on Saturday, after caving on the government shutdown, tweeted again about a “a powerful Wall” necessary to keep illegals at bay.

        Okay, maybe? But if Democrats are simply going to call that “racist” and never say yes to building it, force them instead to say no to what the border patrol wants.

        If they do, then we can once and for all drop the lie that Democrats are “for border security.”

        Border agents aren’t asking for “a powerful Wall.” They’re asking for more of what they already have, which Democrats said yes to in the past. Some in the conservative media aren’t helping by making dumb demands about “the wall,” insisting we replicate the barrier Israel has up around Gaza. Yes, Israel has a “wall” there, but guess what: It’s 40 miles long on mostly flat desert. You can’t build that over the 1,000 miles of canyons, mountains, and forest that make up our border with Mexico.

        Trump moved the country in the right direction on immigration. His repeated “We either have a country, or we don’t” argument in favor of border control was essential to his victory and should go down as one of the great political lines of all time.

        But he dragged his feet on fixing the problem when he had Republicans controlling both houses of Congress. Now he has to deal with Democrats who, if unwilling to build “the wall,” should at least be forced on the record to opposing what the Border Patrol wants: “more wall.”
