Gowdy: We must focus on the ‘why’ to understand political victories

‘Sunday Night in America’ host Trey Gowdy breaks down the message voters sent in the GOP’s Virginia victory.

If Republicans want more victories like Glenn Youngkin’s in Virginia’s gubernatorial election, the party must learn to coalesce around issues relevant to voters and avoid fixating on things “voters care nothing about,” Fox News host Trey Gowdy said Sunday.

Youngkin, a first-time candidate who hails from the business wing of the Republican Party, narrowly defeated former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe in a statewide contest with significant national implications.

Tuesday’s election in Virginia, a one-time battleground but still competitive state, is seen as a key barometer ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, when Republicans aim to win back control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, where the Democrats hold razor-thin majorities.

GOP SEES YOUNGKIN’S VICTORY AS BLUEPRINT TO WIN BACK CONGRESS IN 2022

Gowdy, on “Sunday Night in America” emphasized Youngkin’s ability to flip a typically blue state red, noting that “a double-digit political deficit in less than 12 months is rare.”

But, he said, Republicans take note of the “why. Why did Glenn Youngkin win and why did Winsome Sears win. What issues did they run on? And can those issues be used in other races? What was their tone and demeanor?” he asked.

“To understand elections, we must focus on the why. Why did Republicans win? Why did the state go from Biden to Glenn Youngkin in less than a year? Was it a repudiation on the left, an embrace on the right, or something else?” the host continued.

Youngkin’s emphasis on tapping into the anger of parents over decisions by their local school boards is largely regarded as a blueprint of how to run campaigns in next year’s elections.

Gowdy said that if Republicans could “coalesce around the why and avoid talking about issues that voters care nothing about, there may be more victories next fall. 

“Be mindful of the what, be mindful of the who,” he said, “but focus on the why.”

    El enviado especial de RPP Noticias, Jorge Bayllón, llegó este sábado a Coquimbo, la región más afectada por el terremoto de 8.3 grados en la escala de Richter que afectó a Chile. 

    Nuestro periodista pudo ver y captar el trabajo que realizan las Fuerzas Armadas y los pobladores tras el movimiento sísmico de gran escala.

    Para los vecinos de localidades como Tongoy, Los Vilos, Concón, Salamanca, Illapel, Coquimbo y Combarbalá, la principal preocupación ahora es recuperar sus viviendas, enseres y medios de trabajo y volver cuanto antes a la vida normal.

    Según datos oficiales, un total de 262 viviendas han quedado totalmente destruidas y 418 presentan graves daños.

    Respecto a los servicios básicos, 9.070 personas permanecen sin agua potable y 12.313 sin electricidad.

    Police: Man plowed his car into crowd because he thought they were Muslim – ThinkProgress
    Police: Man plowed his car into crowd because he thought they were Muslim – ThinkProgress

    Isaiah Joel Peoples, a 34-year-old army veteran, deliberately drove his car into a crowd of people in Sunnyvale, California, because he thought some of them were Muslim, police said Friday.

    “Based on our investigation, new evidence shows that the defendant intentionally targeted victims based on their race and his belief that they were of the Muslim faith,” Sunnyvale police chief Phan Ngo said outside court. “We understand that you will have many questions based on this announcement. However, we will not be releasing further information for now.”

    Peoples is accused of hitting eight pedestrians with his car Tuesday evening. According to police, Peoples had picked up food and was driving to a Bible study group when he intentionally drove into a crosswalk. A witness told the San Francisco Chronicle that he reached speeds of 60 miles per hour before striking the victims. “After crashing, he dragged himself out of the sedan and repeatedly moaned, ‘Thank you, Jesus,’ witnesses said. Police found a disassembled, inoperative shotgun in the Toyota.”

    A 13-year-old girl remains in critical condition in a coma and had to have part of her skull removed to relieve pressure, the Chronicle reported, citing court documents. She also has a broken pelvis. The seven other victims have injuries ranging from broken bones to scrapes.

    Peoples, a former U.S. Army sharpshooter who served in the Iraq War, appeared in court Friday. He has been charged with eight counts of attempted murder and ordered to be held without bail.

    While Peoples has not been charged with a hate crime, officials said they are prepared to do so if the investigation finds sufficient evidence.

    “Even before our decision, I will say this: if this is a hate crime, there are far more than eight victims. Hate crimes are a brazen attack on our entire community… We stand together on that street corner. We stand together in that young girl’s hospital room,” Jay Boyarski, Santa Clara County chief assistant district attorney, said in a statement. “This community has been hurt — but we are strong and steadfast and we will stand together against violence, ignorance, and hate.”

    Peoples’ mother told the Sacramento Bee that her son suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder after returning from Iraq. Chuck Smith, Peoples’ attorney, denied that his client intentionally targeted the victims, saying, “This act was clearly the product of some mental disorder or mental defect.” Police said Peoples showed no sign of remorse.

    Reported hate crimes have been on the rise for three consecutive years in the United States, according to FBI data released in 2018. More than half of reported hate crimes targeted a person’s race or ethnicity, while about one in five targeted their religion. After a gunman opened fire on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, last month, killing 50 people, Muslim leaders blamed the normalization of Islamaphobia around the world.

    Sen. Kamala Harris kicks off 2020 campaign criticizing Trump and calling for unity – ABC News
    Sen. Kamala Harris kicks off 2020 campaign criticizing Trump and calling for unity – ABC News

    California Sen. Kamala Harris formally kicked off her presidential campaign Sunday at a rally in her hometown of Oakland, with a promise to confront toxic politics and unite a country she claims has been divided by President Donald Trump.

    Less than a mile away from where she began her career as a prosecutor, Harris characterized her track record as a district attorney, attorney general and U.S. Senator as “fighting for the people.” Now, as a presidential candidate, she has folded that idea into her 2020 campaign slogan, “For the People.”

    “I do not lightly dismiss the dangers and the difficulties of challenging an incumbent president. But these are not ordinary times. And this is not an ordinary election.” she said.

    There was a clear message of diversity and representation for the black community at this rally. Before Harris even took the stage, a black gospel choir sang the national anthem, a black pastor preached a sermon of unity and a band participated in the New Orleans tradition of the “second line.”

    Harris, a California Democrat, is the fourth woman to launch a presidential bid.

    Though she never mentioned Trump by name, Harris sharply criticized the president and claimed she would confront what she considers the worst abuses of the Trump administration.

    “Under this administration, America’s position in the world has never been weaker. When democratic values are under attack around the globe, when authoritarianism is on the march, when nuclear proliferation is on the rise, when we have foreign powers infecting the white house like malware,” she said.

    Following Harris’ speech, the Republican National Committee fired back in a statement.

    “It’s fitting that Harris chose the most liberal district in deep-blue California to launch her campaign. Government-run health care, weaker borders and higher taxes might be popular there, but her liberal policies are totally out-of-step with most Americans. President Trump has led this country to record economic highs and strengthened our national security, and it’s why he’s going to be re-elected in 2020,” RNC Spokesman Michael Ahrens said.

    An estimated 20,000 people packed the plaza near Oakland City Hall and overflowed into the streets. Among the group were undecided voters like Walter Butler, who said he was looking for a candidate who can reach across the aisle.

    “I’m going to try to keep an open mind but I like Senator Harris. I like the way she performed for Kavanaugh hearings,” Butler said.

    Butler, who is still waiting to see who else hops into the race, has some slight reservations about Harris.

    “She’s anti-death penalty, that’s in agreement of where I am at… I am a bit concerned that she’s only been a senator for two years,” Butler said.

    Critics of Harris say her decisions as a prosecutor did not align with the progressive values of the party. On Twitter, the hashtag #KamalaIsACop has ignited a firestorm of tweets attacking the Senator for her record.

    While Harris personally opposes the death penalty, she defended it as California’s attorney general in 2014. Harris also won a $25 billion settlement for California homeowners hit by the foreclosure crisis, but drew criticism when she did not prosecute Steven Mnuchin’s OneWest Bank for foreclosure violations in 2013.

    Some supporters said they trusted her record as a prosecutor.

    “I think she’s right in the African-American community you want folks to be smart on crime and tough on crime. We also want there to be restorative justice policies. I think we can have both,” supporter Chris Taylor added.

    Harris also began spotlighting issues that she says will be at the heart of her campaign: Medicare for All, an income boost of up to $500 a month for working families, criminal justice reforms like ending cash bail, climate change and expanding education by making pre-K universal and college debt-free.

    “So today I say to you, my friends, these are not ordinary times. And this will not be an ordinary election. But this is our America,” she concluded.

    The lyrics of a song from the “Hamilton” musical soundtrack –- “I’m not throwing away my shot” — echoed as she left the stage.

    ¿Quién apoya a los extremistas de Estado Islámico? – BBC Mundo
    ¿Quién apoya a los extremistas de Estado Islámico? – BBC Mundo

    El desempeño militar de Estado Islámico en Siria opacó al de otros grupos rebeldes.

    Muchos estados del Golfo Pérsico han sido acusados de financiar al grupo extremista Estado Islámico en Irak y Siria. Pero Michael Stephens, director del instituto de investigación Royal United Services Institute en Qatar, advierte en este artículo que en una guerra las cosas no son tan claras ni definidas.

    Se ha escrito mucho sobre el apoyo que Estado Islámico (EI) recibió de donantes y simpatizantes, especialmente de los ricos estados del Golfo.

    La acusación que más escucho por parte de quienes combaten contra EI en Irak y Siria es que Qatar y Arabia Saudita son los únicos responsables de la existencia del grupo.

    Pero la verdad es un poco más compleja y es necesario explorarla.

    Es cierto que algunos acaudalados individuos del Golfo han financiado a grupos extremistas en Siria, muchos llevando bolsas de efectivo a Turquía y simplemente repartiendo millones de dólares cada vez.

    Esta era una práctica extremadamente común en 2012 y 2013, pero desde entonces ha disminuido y es un porcentaje mínimo del ingreso total de Estado Islámico en 2014.

    También es cierto que Arabia Saudita y Qatar, en la creencia de que el presidente de Siria Bashar al Asad estaba próximo a caer y que el islam sunita era el vehículo para sus fines políticos, financió grupos que tenían fuertes credenciales islamistas.

    Esos grupos eran Liwa al Tawhid, Ahrar al Sham y Jaish al Islam, todos con tenues vínculos con el “chico malo” de entonces, Jabhat al Nusra, el brazo de al Qaeda en Siria.

    Arabia Saudita ha sido acusada de fiananciar a Estado Islámico, algo que niega vehementemente.

    Por su parte Turquía llevaba a cabo una discutible política fronteriza, en la que armas y dinero fluía hacia Siria, con apoyo saudita y qatarí.

    Lealtades inestables

    Todos creían que esto facilitaría el fin del régimen de Asad y un reordenamiento sirio como poder sunita, rompiendo el vínculo del Irán chiita con el Mediterráneo.

    Sin embargo, en 2013, cuando EI comenzó su aparentemente imparable ascenso, estos grupos fueron arrasados por él o decidieron que era mejor unirse al bando ganador, pasándose a las filas de EI y llevando consigo armas y dineros.

    Sólo Jabhat al Nusra se mantuvo firme, administrando una débil alianza con su primo más radical; pero igual se estima que al menos 3.000 combatientes de al Nusra se pasaron a las filas de EI durante este período.

    Entonces, ¿ha financiado Qatar a EI? En forma directa, la respuesta es no. Indirectamente, una combinación de malas políticas e ingenuidad ha hecho que armas y dinero de Qatar llegara a las manos del grupo islamista.

    “Es difícil para cualquiera apoyar los horribles actos cometidos por EI, pero su objetivo de establecer un califato islámico es ciertamente atractivo en algunos rincones del pensamiento islámico“

    Arabia Saudita también es inocente de tener una explícita política de estado que financie a EI, pero al igual que en el caso de Qatar su determinación para intentar destituir a Asad la ha llevado a cometer graves errores a la hora de elegir a sus aliados.

    Ambos países deben ahora realizar un examen de conciencia, aunque es dudoso que ningún ejercicio de introspección se admita públicamente.

    Años luz

    Pero hay problemas más profundos: los lazos religiosos y la simpatía por un grupo que actúa explícitamente contra los intereses del Irán chiita en la región, sumado al hecho de que tiene el apoyo de más gente en el Golfo de lo que muchos estarían dispuestos a admitir.

    Es difícil para cualquiera apoyar los horribles actos cometidos por EI, pero su objetivo de establecer un califato islámico es ciertamente atractivo en algunos rincones del pensamiento islámico.

    Muchos de aquellos que respaldaban ese objetivo ya viajaron a Siria, pelearon y murieron por Estado Islámico y otros grupos. Otros expresan su apoyo de forma más pasiva y continuarán haciéndolo por muchos años.

    Dinero proveniente del Golfo financió a grupos de oposición en Siria desde el inicio del alzamiento contra al Asad.

    El atractivo de EI, un grupo que ha superado a todos los otros en combate y que realiza cuidadas compañas mediáticas en decenas de idiomas para atraer a jóvenes hombres y mujeres a su causa, ha demostrado ser altamente exitoso.

    En cada actividad, desde el combate hasta la organización y jerarquía y el uso de los medios, EI está años luz por delante del variopinto grupo de facciones de oposición que operan en la región.

    “Economía de guerra”

    Estado Islámico ha construido lo que parece ser el inicio de estructuras semiestatales, ministerios, cortes e incluso un rudimentario sistema de impuestos, que pide mucho menos que lo que los ciudadanos pagaban a la Siria de Asad.

    “Estado Islámico exporta unos 9.000 barriles de petróleo por día, con precios que van de los US$25 a los US$45. Algunos van vía intermediarios kurdos a Turquía, otros son para consumo de EI y otros llegan al régimen de Asad, que a cambio le vende armas al grupo.“

    Desde que empezó a conquistar territorios a comienzos de 2013, EI ha exhibido un patrón consistente: al tomar el control de una ciudad, rápidamente asegura los recursos hídricos, de hidrocarburos y harinas, centralizando la distribución y volviendo a la población dependiente del grupo para su supervivencia.

    Dependencia y respaldo no son la misma cosa y es difícil medir cuántos de los “ciudadanos” de EI participan de forma voluntaria de su proyecto o simplemente consienten su mandato por la necesidad de estabilidad o el miedo a las represalias.

    Para entender cómo funciona la economía de EI hay que mirar hacia el interior de un turbio mundo de intermediarios y opacos negocios, en los que “ideólogos leales” de diferentes bandos identifican oportunidades de negocios y las aprovechan.

    Estado Islámico exporta unos 9.000 barriles de petróleo por día, con precios que van de los US$25 a los US$45.

    Algunos van vía intermediarios kurdos a Turquía, otros son para consumo de EI y otros llegan al régimen de Asad, que a cambio le vende armas al grupo.

    El objetivo de EI es crear un estado islámico independiente entre Irak y Siria.

    “Es una típica economía de guerra”, observa el analista de la Fundación Jamestown, Wladimir van Wilgenburg.

    Lea: ¿Cómo se financia Estado Islámico?

    Ciertamente, los dudosos tratos y extrañas alianzas comienzan a parecerse mucho a los eventos que tuvieron lugar durante la guerra civil de Líbano, cuando señores de la guerra enfrentados militarmente, a la vez combatían unos con otros y hacían negocios.

    El punto es que EI se autofinancia; no puede ser aislado, separado del mundo, porque está íntimamente atado a la estabilidad regional de un modo que no sólo beneficia al propio grupo, sino también a aquellos contra quienes combate.

    La gran pregunta es si es posible derrotar a un tan integral pilar regional (aunque sea profundamente violento y extremo).

    Sin intervención militar occidental, es improbable. Aunque algunas tribus sunitas de Irak están ponderando su lealtad al grupo, no tienen la capacidad de fuego ni las finanzas necesarias para derrocar a EI, tampoco lo tienen el ejército iraquí ni el sirio.

    Pa. Supreme Court strikes down school mask mandate imposed by Wolf administration – The Philadelphia Inquirer
    Pa. Supreme Court strikes down school mask mandate imposed by Wolf administration – The Philadelphia Inquirer

    The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Friday struck down the school mask mandate imposed by the administration of Gov. Tom Wolf, affirming a lower court ruling that said state health officials lacked the authority to set the blanket requirement for students across the state.

    The ruling removed a previous order that allowed the mask mandate to remain in place while the Wolf administration appealed the Commonwealth Court ruling from last month. The Supreme Court justices did not issue an opinion on the case, but promised one would be coming.

    Republicans said the ruling was an important check on executive overreach.

    “We join the voices of millions of Pennsylvanians who are pleased to see our Commonwealth’s highest court agree that no unelected government bureaucrat should ever have the sole and unilateral authority to issue open-ended ‘orders’ — whether they focus on public health response or something else,” House Speaker Bryan Cutler (R., Lancaster) and House Majority Leader Rep. Kerry Benninghoff (R., Centre/Mifflin) said in a statement.

    » READ MORE: Debate: Should Pa. end school mask mandates? | Pro/Con

    Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman (R., Centre), who as a parent joined the case as a plaintiff, said the decision meant “the power for parents and local leaders to make health and safety decisions in our schools is restored.”

    A spokesperson for Wolf called the outcome “extremely disappointing.”

    “The administration’s top priority from the beginning of this pandemic has been and remains protecting public health and safety, including students and staff, to ensure in-person learning continues,” said the spokesperson, Beth Rementer.

    Rementer said the administration urged school districts to prioritize health and safety going forward. “Masking is a proven and simple way to keep kids in school without interruption and participate in sports and other extracurricular activities,” and is recommended by the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics, her statement said.

    The order doesn’t necessarily mean an end to school masking: Some school systems have said they plan to continue requiring masks regardless of a state mandate — including Philadelphia, the state’s largest district. Others said Friday they were consulting with their solicitors.

    In Cheltenham, Superintendent Brian Scriven told the community Thursday that regardless of the court’s decision, the district intended to require masking through the 2021-22 school year.

    “We have a duty to keep our students, staff and community healthy and safe, and with the emergence of the omicron variant of COVID-19, many unknowns regarding its transmissibility and overall effects are at play,” Scriven said.

    Enacted in September, when thousands of students statewide began returning to the classroom for the first time since the pandemic began, the mandate required all students, staff and visitors to wear masks inside public and private K-12 schools. Last month, as the case wound its way through the courts, Wolf announced his intention to lift the requirement in January in a bid to return “to a more normal setting.”

    Wolf gave no indication that timetable would change, though COVID-19 cases have been rising again across the state, and the litigation continued.

    The case didn’t turn on the reason for masking in schools. In the Commonwealth Court decision that initially struck down the mandate, Judge Christine Fizzano Cannon noted that the judges had “no opinion regarding the science or efficacy of mask-wearing or the politics underlying the considerable controversy the subject continues to engender.”

    Instead, the litigation focused on the state’s authority to make that order. During oral arguments Wednesday, some justices seemed skeptical of the administration’s position that masking was a form of “modified quarantine” permitted under existing state law and regulations.

    The plaintiffs who brought the case — Corman, State Rep. Jesse Topper (R., Bedford), and other parents and schools — had argued that Acting Health Secretary Alison Beam erred in not following a formal process to create a new regulation when she imposed the masking requirement after many school districts opted not to. Within days, court battles over the state mandate had begun.

    The lawsuit was backed by the Amistad Project, a conservative group that brought litigation challenging the 2020 election results, including in Pennsylvania.

    In a statement, the group’s executive director hailed Friday’s ruling.

    “Some government officials have used COVID to fundamentally reorder the nature of our government, and have violated democratic principles and personal liberty in the process,” Phill Kline said. “The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has agreed that this must stop.”

    School mask mandates — or the right to impose them — have spurred litigation across the country. Some states have faced lawsuits for barring local school districts from requiring masks. The Arizona Supreme Court last month affirmed a decision striking down a state ban on school mask mandates, while states like Florida have maintained their bans, though with battles over enforcement.

    Other states have required masks in schools — including neighboring New Jersey, where a federal judge this week rejected a challenge to the state’s school mask mandate.

    Dismissing claims by parents that the requirement violated their children’s First Amendment rights, Judge Kevin McNulty wrote in an opinion Tuesday that “to be ‘muffled’ is not to be gagged.” He also dismissed an equal protection argument — saying that the mandate applied to all schools, and that it was rational for policymakers to impose it.

    » READ MORE: Parents, including a top Pa. Republican, are suing over the school mask mandate. Here’s what to know about the cases.

    Still, the mask debate has been fraught in some area districts.

    School administrators have also expressed concern about having to quarantine more students if masking were to be dropped, based on current rules for students who are close contacts of students who test positive for the virus.

    Thomas W. King III, a lawyer for Corman and the other plaintiffs, said he anticipated some districts that keep masking requirements intact would face legal challenges over whether Pennsylvania law “delegates to school districts” the right to do so.

    While the case decided a narrow issue, the ruling is “much more important than just masks,” King said. “The Supreme Court has proven that no one is above the law — not a governor, not a health secretary, and not anyone else who’s required to comply with the law before issuing mandates in Pennsylvania.”

    Some Republicans portray Ketanji Brown Jackson, Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, as a radical – The Washington Post

    Biden’s Supreme Court pick

    The nominee: The president intends to name Ketanji Brown Jackson, a judge on the D.C. federal court of appeals, as his first Supreme nominee. She would be the first Black woman justice in the court’s history.

    The latest: Biden calls Jackson “one of our nation’s brightest legal minds” as he announced his nominee. He plans to introduce Jackson at a White House event about 2 p.m. Eastern time.

    Analysis: Race, Jackson’s work on Guantánamo detainee cases, her ruling against Trump and support she received from a court-packing group are all potential issues that may arise in this confirmation fight.

    What it means: The Democrats have a chance to replace the oldest of three liberal justices on the Supreme Court ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.

    What’s ahead: The White House hopes to smooth the way for its nominee even though the Senate in recent years has been an increasingly vicious battleground for such nominations.

    U.S. has intel that Osama bin Laden’s son and heir Hamza is dead, officials say – AOL
    U.S. has intel that Osama bin Laden’s son and heir Hamza is dead, officials say – AOL

    WASHINGTON — The U.S. has obtained intelligence that the son and potential successor of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, Hamza bin Laden, is dead, according to three U.S. officials.

    The officials would not provide details of where or when Hamza bin Laden died, or if the U.S. played a role in his death. It is unclear if the U.S. has confirmed his death.

    Hamza bin Laden’s last known public statement was released by al Qaeda’s media arm in 2018. He threatened Saudi Arabia and called on the people of the Arabian peninsula to revolt.

    Hamza bin Laden is believed to have been born around 1989. His father moved to Afghanistan in 1996 and declared war against the U.S. Hamza went with him and appeared in al Qaeda propaganda videos. As leader of al Qaeda, Osama oversaw operations against Western targets that culminated in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the Pentagon and New York’s World Trade Center.

    U.S. Navy SEALS killed Osama bin Laden in 2011 during a raid on his Abbottabad, Pakistan compound. Hamza was not found at the compound. Letters seized from the compound suggested the elder bin Laden wanted his son to join him in Abbottabad and was grooming him as a leader.

    In a September 2017 article, counterterror expert and former FBI agent Ali Soufan said, “Hamza is being prepared for a leadership role in the organization his father founded” and is “likely to be perceived favorably by the jihadi rank-and-file. With the Islamic State’s ‘caliphate’ apparently on the verge of collapse, Hamza is now the figure best placed to reunify the global jihadi movement.”

    In February, the State Department announced it would pay as much as $1 million for information on Hamza bin Laden’s whereabouts.

    The department’s Counter-Terrorism Rewards Program described the younger bin Laden on Twitter as “an emerging al Qaeda leader” who “has threatened attacks against the United States and allies.”

    The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responds to criticism from Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responds to criticism from Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan following the State of the Union.

    U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responded to criticism from a top columnist on Tuesday that she had a “rare bad night” during President Trump’s State of the Union speech.

    Peggy Noonan, the Wall Street Journal columnist, tweeted that the 29-year-old Democrat looked “sullen, teenaged and at a loss” during a night where the freshman rep kept mostly silent and refused to applaud president Trump’s remarks as he touted his administration’s low unemployment numbers and efforts to cure AIDS and stop sex traffickers.

    Ocasio-Cortez – a frequent critic of Trump – took to Twitter to defend herself.

    “Why should I be “spirited and warm” for this embarrassment of a #SOTU? Tonight was an unsettling night for our country. The president failed to offer any plan, any vision at all, for our future. We’re flying without a pilot. And I‘m not here to comfort anyone about that fact,” she wrote.

    Ocasio-Cortez did clap when Trump recognized the number of women in Congress.

    Trump’s appeal for unity is unlikely to win over many of his Democratic critics in Congress. Before Trump even delivered his speech, California Sen. Kamala Harris, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, said, “We will hear insincere appeals to unity.”

    Also in the audience were several other Democrats running to challenge Trump in 2020, including Cory Booker of New Jersey, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.

    Noonan tweeted, “This has been a deeply adept speech in terms of policy. He cut to the muscle on legal and illegal immigration, on abortion and infanticide, on foreign wars. His vow on socialism will be remembered. Great heroes in the balcony, a real American panoply.”

    Liz Cheney won’t link Trump’s election lies to restrictive Republican voting laws – The Guardian
    Liz Cheney won’t link Trump’s election lies to restrictive Republican voting laws – The Guardian

    The Republican pariah Liz Cheney has repeatedly refused to admit a link between Donald Trump’s lies about voter fraud and restrictive voting laws being introduced in Republican states, telling an interviewer on Sunday night she will “never understand the resistance to voter ID”.

    “There’s a big difference between that and a president of the United States who loses an election after he tried to steal the election and refuses to concede,” said the Wyoming representative ejected from party leadership for opposing the former president.

    Laws tightening regulations on voter ID, voting by mail and even giving water to those waiting on line to vote have been passed or are close to passage in states from Georgia to Texas and beyond.

    Because of their disproportionate impact on minority voters – many of whom vote Democratic – Democrats including Joe Biden have compared such laws to Jim Crow segregation in southern states from the civil war to the civil rights era.

    Most in a Republican party under Trump’s grip reject such claims. Cheney has ranged herself against Trump but when pressured by Axios on HBO interviewer Jonathan Swan, she stayed in lockstep with her party.

    To Cheney’s remark about resistance to voter ID laws, Swan countered: “Even the Republican lieutenant governor of Georgia, Jeff Duncan, said … when this bill was started that the momentum was when Rudy Giuliani was testifying that the Georgia election was a sham.”

    Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer, pursued the electoral fraud lie through an array of cases in states won by Biden, the vast majority thrown out of court.

    “Four hundred-some voting bills have been introduced,” Swan said, “90% by Republicans, supported by the Republican National Committee. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that after the election, this has happened.”

    Cheney said: “I think everybody should want a situation and a system where people who want to vote and ought to have the right to vote, vote, and people that don’t shouldn’t. And again I come back to things like voter ID.”

    Actual instances of voter fraud or attempted voter fraud are few and far between. Some involve Trump voters. Nonetheless, state Republican parties have pursued strict laws while in Arizona the GOP has gone so far as to conduct a highly controversial recount in the most populous county.

    “But what problems are [these laws] solving?” Swan asked. “What are all these states doing?”

    “Well,” said Cheney, “each state is different.”

    Swan asked what the problem was in Georgia, or Texas, or Florida.

    “I think you’ve got to look at each individual state law,” Cheney said.

    Swan said: “But you can’t divorce them from the context. Come on.”

    Cheney said: “But I think what we can all agree on is that what is happening right now is really dangerous.”

    Swan said: “I can agree with that.”

    Cheney switched back to her preferred subject – Trump’s refusal to concede defeat, which led to the deadly attack on the Capitol by his supporters on 6 January, over which more than 400 people have been charged, while Republicans in Congress oppose a 9/11-style investigation.

    “I think about 2000,” said the daughter of Dick Cheney, who became vice-president to George W Bush after a tight election that year.

    “I think about sitting on the inaugural platform in January of 2001 watching Al Gore. We’d won. I’m sure he didn’t think he had lost. We had fought this politically very, very intense battle. And he conceded. He did the right thing for this nation.

    “And that is one of the big differences between that and what we’re dealing with now and the danger of Donald Trump today.”

    Inside the Dramatic Raid That Took Down ‘El Chapo’ – ABC News
    Inside the Dramatic Raid That Took Down ‘El Chapo’ – ABC News

    Incredible GoPro footage takes you inside the gunfire-heavy raid that ended drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s six months on the run.

    The video, obtained from Mexican authorities, looks as if it’s from an action movie. The camera follows the armed men as they storm the house, unleash grenades and bullets, and search room to room.

    The Friday raid was called “Operation Black Swan,” according to the Mexican show “Primero Noticias.” Authorities decided to launch the raid Thursday after they got a tip about where Guzman was sleeping, the show reported.

    Seventeen elite unit Mexican Marines launched their assault on the house in the city of Los Mochis at 4:40 a.m., “Primero Noticias” said.

    They were met by about one dozen well-armed guards inside who were prepared for a fight, the show said.

    The Marines moved from room to room, clearing the house. Upstairs they found two men in one room and found two women on the floor of a bathroom. All were captured, “Primero Noticias” said.

    After 15 minutes, the Marines controlled the entire house, according to “Primero Noticias.”

    In the end, five guards were killed and two men and two women were detained. One of the women was the same cook Guzman had with him when he was detained a couple years ago, according to “Primero Noticias.”

    Eventually the marines determined that the only bedroom on the first floor was Guzman’s and they began pounding on the walls and moving furniture, finding hidden doors, the show said.

    His room had a king-sized bed, bags from fashionable clothing stores, bread and cookie wrappers, and medicine including injectable testosterone, syringes, antibiotics and cough syrups, the show said. The two-story house had four bedrooms and five bathrooms. There were flat-screen TVs and Internet connection throughout the house, according to “Primero Noticias.”

    The Marines eventually found a hidden passageway behind a mirror, with a handle hidden in the light fixture. The handle opened a secret door, leading down into the escape tunnel, the show explained.

    The escape tunnel was fully lit and led to an access door for the city sewage system, “Primero Noticias” said, adding that Guzman had at least a 20-minute head start on the Marines.

    The address where Guzman was captured had been monitored for a month, Mexican Attorney General Arely Gomez has said. According to Gomez, Guzman and his lieutenant escaped through that drainage system.

    “Primero Noticias” said it obtained surveillance footage showing Guzman and his lieutenant emerging from the manhole cover, where they then stole two cars to flee, the show said.

    Guzman was finally caught when he and the lieutenant were stopped on a highway by Mexican Federal Police, the show said.

    Authorities took them to a motel to wait for reinforcement. The men were then taken to Los Mochis airport and transfered to Mexico City.

    Guzman is now back in prison as his lawyers fight his extradition to the U.S.

    The drug kingpin escaped from the Altiplano prison near Mexico City on July 11, launching an active manhunt. When guards realized that he was missing from his cell, they found a ventilated tunnel and exit had been constructed in the bathtub inside Guzman’s cell. The tunnel extended for about a mile underground and featured an adapted motorcycle on rails that officials believe was used to transport the tools used to create the tunnel, Monte Alejandro Rubido, the head of the Mexican national security commission, said in July.

    Guzman had been sent there after he was arrested in February 2014. He spent more than 10 years on the run after escaping from a different prison in 2001. It’s unclear exactly how he had escaped, but he did receive help from prison guards who were prosecuted and convicted.

    Guzman, the leader of the Sinaloa cartel, was once described by the U.S. Treasury as “the most powerful drug trafficker in the world.” The Sinaloa cartel allegedly uses elaborate tunnels for drug trafficking and has been estimated to be responsible for 25 percent of all illegal drugs that enter the U.S. through Mexico.
