Uruguay adhiere a las palabras del papa Francisco sobre Venezuela – Diario El País
Uruguay adhiere a las palabras del papa Francisco sobre Venezuela – Diario El País

Uruguay se adhirió, al igual que varios países latinoamericanos, a las declaraciones del papa Francisco sobre la situación en Venezuela, según anunció Presidencia.

“#Venezuela: Gobiernos de Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Perú, Paraguay y Uruguay adherimos a expresiones de @Pontifex_es”, publicó la ministra de Relaciones Exteriores argentina, Susana Malcorra, en su cuenta oficial de Twitter.

Las cancillerías de los países latinoamericanos difundieron ayer domingo un comunicado conjunto en el que se adherían a las palabras señaladas por el Pontífice, y apoyaban que es imprescindible contar con “condiciones muy claras” para una salida negociada a la crisis que vive Venezuela.

Según el texto conjunto, los gobiernos anunciaron que concuerdan con el Papa en que “todo lo que se pueda hacer por Venezuela hay que hacerlo, pero con las garantías necesarias”.

Además, reiteraron que para ello “se requiere el cese de los actos de violencia, la plena vigencia del Estado de Derecho, la liberación de los presos políticos, la plena restitución de las prerrogativas de la Asamblea Nacional, y la definición de un cronograma electoral”.

El Papa dijo el sábado pasado estar dispuesto a una mediación del Vaticano con “condiciones claras“, si bien aseguró que “la oposición está dividida” en torno a la reactivación de las conversaciones.

El presidente de Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, saludó ayer la renovada oferta de Francisco: “Si digo diálogo, huyen despavoridos, no quieren diálogo. Ayer arremetieron contra el papa Francisco. Yo respeto las expresiones del papa Francisco”, expresó Maduro en su programa semanal en la televisora estatal VTV.

“How does one man have so much power?”

One hears that question asked in Washington a lot these days, often with exasperation and bewilderment.

And it is not always a reference to President Trump.

Quite often, the man in question is Mitch McConnell, the Republican senator from Kentucky.

The man who calls himself the “Grim Reaper” — of signature Democratic initiatives.

McConnell’s status stems from his office as the Senate majority leader -– elected by his party colleagues to lead their conference in the chamber. But few who have held this office before have been able to wield it with this kind of results.

In today’s Senate, McConnell can decide virtually by himself what the chamber will do — and even what it will consider doing.

You may have first noticed McConnell early in 2016 when he proclaimed the Senate would not consider any nominee appointed by President Obama to fill the Supreme Court seat vacated by the death of Antonin Scalia. McConnell made this announcement on his own, within hours of Scalia’s death.

This year, McConnell has issued similar summary judgments on House-passed bills to reform election laws, combat foreign interference in U.S. elections and strengthen gun control.

In each of these instances, the question arose: How can one man make this kind of momentous decision and make it stick?

McConnell is a master of Senate procedure and rules. He is also a remarkable politician, as NPR reporters have detailed for decades and as Kelly McEvers has documented in her five-part series on the NPR Embedded podcast this summer.

Emerging bosses of the Senate

But how much of McConnell’s power comes from his position as majority leader?

How big a deal is the job itself? Through most of our history, there wasn’t one. And since the office was created a century ago, its occupant has typically been little known outside of Washington.

Everyone knows the most powerful member of the House is the speaker, a title that is found in the first Article of the U.S. Constitution (as written in 1787). Successive generations have rewritten the definition somewhat, but the position remains enormously influential for its power to bring bills to the floor or ignore them.

The office of Senate majority leader does not appear in any of the founding documents. The speaker ranks high in the line of presidential succession, right after the vice president. The Senate majority leader’s position in the succession is – nowhere.

The founding fathers saw the Senate as a small body (initially just two dozen) that would largely govern itself, under the watchful eye of the president of the Senate – a job assigned to whomever happened to be vice president of the United States. If the veep was unavailable, the task of presiding passed to a senator designated as the Senate president pro tempore — the presiding officer for the time being.

As the Senate evolved, the idea of the presiding officer atrophied in importance. The vice president stopped attending Senate sessions except for ceremonial occasions or to cast a tie-breaking vote. The Senate was largely run by its strongest personalities and committee chairmen.

The job of official majority or minority leader in the Senate did not even exist until about a century ago, in the era around the First World War when the Constitution had just been changed to elect senators by popular vote rather than by state legislators.

The Democrats started designating a leader in 1920. Republicans had an acknowledged leader at the time in Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, but they did not officially designate one until the mid-1920s.

Since then, the elected leaders of the majority and minority parties have been the titular bosses – although largely beholden to the barons of the committee structure and other individual senators of importance.

A sea change of sorts came with the elevation of Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas to the majority leader’s post in 1955. Johnson had only been in the Senate for one term at the time, but had the backing of the venerable Richard Russell of Georgia (the Dixie Democrat for whom the original Senate Office Building is named). Johnson grew rapidly in the job, finding it possible through force of personality and persuasion to move the Senate – including its notorious bloc of Southern segregationists.

When LBJ left to become vice president in 1961, the job passed to Mike Mansfield of Montana, who held it for 16 years through the civil rights bills, Vietnam war and Watergate investigation. His successor was Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia, who wound up being the longest serving senator in history and the party leader from 1977 to 1989.

Illinois Sen. Everett Dirksen, also commemorated in a Senate Office Building, led the GOP from 1959 to his death in 1969 and left a legacy of eloquence and moderation. But he never got to be majority leader. His son-in-law, Howard Baker of Tennessee, led the GOP in the majority during the important first term of Ronald Reagan’s presidency.

Others have also left a mark in a relatively short time in the job. Many Republicans still revere Robert A. Taft, who had the job for just six months before his death in 1953. George Mitchell of Maine was widely admired for his execution of the job for the Democrats for six years, four under President Bill Clinton.

More recently, the job had passed from one able and ambitious politician to another without much change in its status. It came to be mocked by some as “the majority follower,” as some who had the job struggled mightily to form consensus within their ranks. Some have also found being the leader was hazardous to their political health back home, or hobbling for their presidential ambitions.

McConnell’s tenure in the leader position

McConnell’s predecessor as Republican leader was Bill Frist of Tennessee. He got the job suddenly and unexpectedly when Trent Lott of Mississippi resigned.

A distinguished heart surgeon, Frist had not been in leadership before and never seemed at ease in the job. But he benefited by having a more seasoned deputy, Mitch McConnell, who then stepped up to be the party’s No. 1 upon Frist’s retirement in 2007. He has held that spot since.

So McConnell’s current power is not inherent in his title. Nor is he so personally compelling that he bends the will of others to his own in the manner of LBJ.

McConnell has his remarkable power in the nation’s affairs right now because his own position has become a pivotal nexus for other forces in Republican politics.

The election of President Trump in 2016, the loss of the party’s majority in the House in 2018, the extraordinary cohesiveness of the Republican Senate in its public support of the president and the sense of momentous demographic and social change coming in the decades ahead have made the job of Senate majority leader more important. It is now perhaps more important to the GOP than ever before.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has been able leverage changes to Senate rules and a united Senate GOP conference to steer the president’s agenda — chiefly the confirmation of a record number of judicial nominees.

The most evident of these is, of course, the election of President Trump. McConnell was not onboard the Trump train in the early stages of the 2016 cycle. He officially backed Rand Paul, the Republican junior senator from his own home state. When Paul dropped out, McConnell stayed neutral. He was critical of Trump at times but did not join the active resistance to his nomination.

Control of the Senate was very much up for grabs in the 2016 cycle, and, at times, it appeared likely Trump would lose to Hillary Clinton and depress Republican turnout in the process. That was seen as damaging or even fatal to the prospects of several Republicans in close races.

McConnell could see his status in the majority slipping away after having it just two years. So he calibrated his responses to campaign events carefully. At one point, he simply refused to take any questions at all regarding the party’s presidential nominee.

Nonetheless, when Trump won, McConnell was right there to offer his full-throated support. And within days, the new relationship was cemented by Trump’s appointment of McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, as secretary of transportation. (Chao had been secretary of labor for all eight years of George W. Bush’s presidency.)

While their backgrounds and lifetime experiences are worlds apart, McConnell and Trump share an approach to politics that is more transactional than ideological. Both embrace a robust form of free market capitalism, with incentives for business emphasized over taxes and regulation. But like Trump, McConnell has found success as an organizer of political energy and power more than as a thought leader.

McConnell was not able to deliver the clean repeal of Obamacare that Trump wanted, but blame for that fell on the late Sen. John McCain, whose dramatic thumbs down doomed the repeal in 2017. McConnell did, however, get credit for steering the big tax cut through the Senate labyrinth later that year.

And McConnell has been crucial in securing the single clearest accomplishment of the Trump presidency to date – the confirmation of more than 130 federal judges, including two Supreme Court justices.

McConnell has been able to establish a veritable assembly line for judicial confirmations because he disarmed the Democratic minority by changing the rules of the Senate. He first eliminated the use of extended debate – or filibuster – to delay or defeat nominees to the Supreme Court. (Democrats had left the filibuster in place for the Supreme Court when they eliminated it for other presidential appointments such as cabinet members.)

Then, McConnell changed the procedures for processing other judicial appointments, procedures Republican senators had used to hold up scores of judicial nominees during the Obama presidency (leaving open the very vacancies that Trump and McConnell have since filled).

None of this would be possible, of course, without the remarkable degree of cohesion and loyalty McConnell has commanded within his own party in the Senate. While individual Republicans have at times complained privately about the president or the majority leader, they have stood by the two of them on virtually every vote since the Obamacare failure. An exception that tends to prove the rule was the Senate vote to block certain arms sales to Saudi Arabia. The president vetoed that, and the Senate upheld his veto.

The latest example was the Senate’s acquiescence in passing the two-year budget deal that suspended the debt ceiling until 2021 and lifted caps on both military and domestic spending. The bill required conservative Republican senators to swallow more than $1 trillion in new debt in each of the next two budget years, and the high likelihood of still higher deficits thereafter. Moreover, the administration had negotiated it primarily with Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Yet, when the time came for the crucial vote, McConnell delivered enough Republicans to get it done.

Another example of how the Trump era, at least on Capitol Hill, is best understood as the Trump-McConnell era.

Dr. Anthony Fauci tells Congress parts of U.S. are seeing a ‘disturbing surge’ of coronavirus infections – CNBC
Dr. Anthony Fauci tells Congress parts of U.S. are seeing a ‘disturbing surge’ of coronavirus infections – CNBC

Fauci told lawmakers “we need to be careful” that scientists prove a potential vaccine is safe and effective before its distributed to the public. 

“I would be very disappointed if we jumped to a conclusion before we knew that a vaccine was truly safe and truly effective, because I wouldn’t want the perpetual ambiguity of not knowing whether it is truly safe and truly effective,” he said. 

Scientists say they are still learning about key aspects of the virus, including how immune systems respond once a person is exposed. The answers, they say, may have large implications for vaccine development, including how quickly it can be deployed to the public.

A recent study published in Nature Medicine found coronavirus antibodies may last only two to three months after a person becomes infected with Covid-19. Researchers examined 37 asymptomatic people, those who never developed symptoms, in the Wanzhou District of China. They compared their antibody response to that of 37 people with symptoms. 

Fauci reiterated Tuesday that scientists don’t know how long people are protected after a coronavirus infection.

“It’s likely you are protected, but we don’t know how long you are protected,” he said.

Black Americans are disproportionately getting sick and dying from the coronavirus. Black people constitute nearly 13% of the U.S. population but made up 23% of all Covid-19 deaths as of June 3, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

During the hearing, Fauci was asked by Rep. Bobby Rush, a Democrat from Illinois, whether institutional racism contributed to the disproportionate impact the virus has had on Black Americans. The infectious disease expert said, “yes.”

“The African-American community has suffered from racism for a very, very long period of time,” he said. “And I cannot imagine that that has not contributed to the conditions that they find themselves in economically and otherwise, so the answer, congressman, is yes.”

He was also asked about U.S. Covid-19 deaths overall. While cases and hospitalizations are on the rise, deaths appear to be on the decline. Fauci told lawmakers that deaths lag behind cases and hospitalizations.

It’s possible deaths could go up as more people go to the hospital, he said.

Ocasio-Cortez rallies progressives against Dem leaders’ bid to shield incumbents from primary challengers – Fox News

Green New Deal champion Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez compares the impact of climate change to 9/11

Did the self-proclaimed Democratic socialist go too far? Reaction from Republican strategist Ned Ryun, former presidential writer for George W. Bush and CEO of American Majority.

Freshman Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley have in a matter of days rallied the progressive base against a plan by House Democrats’ campaign arm to isolate and discourage would-be challengers from running against incumbents in congressional primaries.

Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Pressley, D-Mass., both insurgents who ousted entrenched members of their own party, over the weekend criticized a policy by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) to blacklist political firms that work against sitting members of Congress.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS’ CAMPAIGN ARM WARNS CONSULTANTS AGAINST HELPING PRIMARY CHALLENGERS

Their cause has been promoted and cheered by allies on the left, exposing new tensions between the Democratic establishment and an outspoken liberal wing led by Ocasio-Cortez.

Justice Democrats, the group that boosted Ocasio-Cortez’s primary bid last year, has blanketed its Twitter feed with shout-outs to the two freshmen, while its director Alexandra Rojas is doing the same – while accusing the DCCC of being “afraid” of the Pressleys and AOCs of the world.

The same group also thanked Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., for taking a stand against the DCCC decision – citing an Intercept story in which the vice chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus condemned the move.

Saying the new policy “stifles competition and blackballs any consultant who works for a challenger,” Khanna complained in a statement to The Intercept that the DCCC policy was “heavy-handed.”

“This unprecedented grab of power is a slap in the face of Democratic voters across the nation,” he said. “Let’s be clear. If this policy remains in place, it will mean that we will not allow new Ayanna Pressleys or AOCs to emerge. It’s simply wrong.”

Khanna and other caucus leaders reportedly voiced objections directly with DCCC leader Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-Ill. The escalating fight marks another front in the battle between the progressive wing and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lieutenants.

The tensions exploded publicly when Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Saturday: “The @DCCC’s new rule to blacklist+boycott anyone who does business w/ primary challengers is extremely divisive & harmful to the party.”

MODERATE DEMS FUME OVER OCASIO-CORTEZ INCUMBENT HIT LIST

The freshman then recommended a pause in all donations to the DCCC and encouraged donors to give directly to the “swing candidates” themselves. She provided a short list of swing-seaters with links to their donation pages.

Pressley, who upset 20-year incumbent Michael Capuano, tweeted Saturday a lengthy thread offering her view that the DCCC policy risks hurting women and people of color.

“If the DCCC enacts this policy to blacklist vendors who work with challengers, we risk undermining an entire universe of potential candidates and vendors — especially women and people of color — whose ideas, energy, and innovation need a place in our party,” Pressley wrote.

The DCCC previously stated in a letter that its core mission is keeping the party’s newly won majority in the House by “electing House Democrats, which includes supporting and protecting incumbents.”

The letter then clearly states that the committee “will not conduct business with, nor recommend to any of its targeted campaigns, any consultant that works with an opponent of a sitting Member of the House Democratic Caucus.”

Pressley warned of the “chilling effect” that creating such rules could have on the future of the Democratic Party, and called for “diversity.”

“Our diversity is our strength,” she wrote. “When a candidate takes the risk to run, Democrats should not be in the practice of creating litmus tests or roadblocks that have a chilling effect on new candidates or those who would invest their sweat equity in support.”

Two-thirds of countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development guarantee six months of paid time off to new mothers. Newsom’s plan doesn’t go that far. Instead, the proposal, unveiled as part of his 2019 budget, would allow two caretakers to split six months off, according to a fact sheet provided by his office. One parent could take three months, and the other parent or partner or another family member could take three more months, or vice versa.

Trump discussed the Friday unemployment numbers as well as “Democrats’ refusal to focus on solutions that would help the American people as they attempt to overturn the result of the 2016 election,” White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement.

“The President, Leader McCarthy, Whip Scalise, Chair Cheney, and Republican leaders on key House committees spoke on the call and emphasized that Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi and Chairman [Adam] Schiff are deliberately misleading the American people about the truth, and are trampling over procedure and precedent to advance their political goals,” Deere said in the statement issued late Friday.

Trump also touted the economy earlier Friday, after new figures showed the United States added 136,000 jobs in September and unemployment hit a 50-year low.

The president’s call with Republicans came as three House committees held a closed-door interview with the inspector general of the intelligence community, Michael Atkinson, regarding a whistleblower complaint raising alarm over Trump’s dealings with Ukraine.

The whistleblower complaint, which triggered House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry last week, alleged that Trump solicited foreign interference in the 2020 presidential election and described an effort by the White House to contain details of the call.

“While we cannot get into the substance, we explored with the IG through documents and testimony the reasons why he found the whistleblower complaint to be both urgent and credible,” Schiff, who leads the House Intelligence Committee, said in a statement following the closed-door interview.

“Now that we have all seen the call record, we can see that the IG’s determination was correct in both respects.”

House Democrats also issued a subpoena Friday evening to the White House for documents related to Trump’s dealings with Ukraine, and requested documents from Vice President Pence for their impeachment probe.

Trump has railed against Democrats’ impeachment inquiry as a “witch hunt,” accusing them of trying to bruise him ahead of the 2020 election and insisting he did nothing wrong on the call with Zelensky.

He has defended his decision to raise Biden on the call, saying it had nothing to do with the election.

How Boris Johnson lost his legislative majority, and what it means – The Washington Post

September 4 at 4:58 PM

When Britain’s Parliament convened for the first time following a summer recess Tuesday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson had a working majority of one. Roughly eight hours later, it was gone — making the prospect of an early general election a real possibility.

As Johnson addressed lawmakers, Parliament member Phillip Lee crossed the House of Commons floor to defect from Johnson’s Conservative Party and join the Liberal Democrats, kicking off a day of high drama in British politics that has put Johnson on the back foot.

Later that day, the prime minister carried out his promise to purge some of the Conservative Party’s biggest political players after they supported opposition moves to take control of the parliamentary agenda and block a no-deal Brexit.

A total of 21 Conservative lawmakers rebelled against their newly installed leader and were sacrificed in the process. Johnson immediately moved to throw them out of the party and banned them from standing as Tory candidates at the next election.

[British House of Commons passes bill seeking to avert a no-deal Brexit in another blow to Boris Johnson’s plan]

Now, if every opposition and independent member of Parliament in the 650-strong House of Commons were to oppose Johnson on any piece of Brexit legislation, he would be defeated by 43 votes.

With his majority shattered, Johnson now faces questions over his ability to secure Britain’s exit from the European Union at the end of October, something he has repeatedly promised to do.

Johnson may face no choice but to seek an election and attempt to secure a majority that would allow him to take back control.

A government official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to give a frank assessment, said “an election is now inevitable” because Johnson can no longer set out his legislative priorities.

“We have — literally — no majority,” the official said.

[Lawmaker blasts Boris Johnson in Parliament for ‘racist’ remarks about Muslim women]

However, under the 2011 Fixed-term Parliaments Act, Johnson first needs to secure the support of two-thirds of all lawmakers to permit an early election in mid-October.

This is no easy feat, as it will require the Labour Party and purged Conservative lawmakers to vote in favor of triggering the snap poll.

The Conservative Party would also need to find new candidates to field in the 21 seats Johnson relinquished Tuesday.

While his allies are confident of beating Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn in an election, there are no guarantees Johnson would even emerge from an election with a Commons majority. The risks are certain, and the outcome is unclear.

‘We are all shattered’: Oxford High School students killed in shooting identified – The Detroit News
‘We are all shattered’: Oxford High School students killed in shooting identified – The Detroit News

Oxford — A football player, a volleyball striker, a captain of the bowling team and an aspiring artist.

Those were the four students tragically killed in Tuesday afternoon’s mass shooting at Oxford High School and who were identified by the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office.

Late Tuesday, authorities said Hana St. Juliana, 14, Madisyn Baldwin, 17, and Tate Myre, 16, were the three students who initially lost their lives following a five-minute rampage at the Oakland County high school. A fourth student died Wednesday morning: Justin Shilling was 17, authorities said.

Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said their families have been notified and each family has been assigned a deputy to remain as long as they need and “to provide the protection they deserve.”

‘Just terrifying’:Students describe surviving Oxford High School shooting

Myre, a football player and honor roll student, died in a patrol car as a deputy rushed him to a local hospital, Bouchard said in a 10 p.m. Tuesday update on the investigation.

“One of our deputies, due to the severity of wounds, loaded up one of the children in his car and, sadly, that child died in the car,” Bouchard said. “One of our employees who was in the 911 center as part of the team taking the emergency calls, had a relative killed. This touches us all personally, deeply and will for a long time.

“We will leave no stone unturned.”

Shilling was a senior and co-captain of the school’s bowling team and was an employee at Anita’s Kitchen in Lake Orion.

The restaurant posted a tribute to Shilling Wednesday afternoon, saying “he was an exemplary employee, a devoted friend and co-worker, co-captain of his bowling team, and simply a pleasure to be around.”

“Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time,” the restaurant said, adding that since opening its Lake Orion doors in December 2019, much of its staff has consisted of Oxford High students. “We often marvel at how blessed we are to have such amazing kids as part of our Lake Orion team. Simply put — we would not be a restaurant without them. Our heart aches for them all today, as they begin to heal from this terrible tragedy.”

In online tributes, friends said Baldwin, a senior, was expected to graduate this year. She had already been accepted into several colleges, some with a full scholarship.

“She was an artist who loved to draw, read and write. She was the eldest of three siblings,” friends wrote.

Juliana, a freshman, was the youngest victim killed. She was No. 9 on the Oxford volleyball team and had been playing front row in volleyball since middle school. She also played on the school’s basketball team and made her high school debut the night before she was killed.

Trump, the make-a-deal president, undermines own deal with USMCA tweet – Washington Examiner
Trump, the make-a-deal president, undermines own deal with USMCA tweet – Washington Examiner

On Friday morning, President Trump took to his favorite soapbox, Twitter, and announced his latest plans for the southern border. In a series of tweets that started off with praise for Mexico’s cooperation with the U.S. to apprehend illegal immigrants, the president’s line swerved toward the absurd as he threatened new tariffs on cars, closing the border, and ended with a call for economic penalties for drugs smuggled across the border.

The crowning jewel of the whole statement, however, was a consequential line tucked in among the threats: “This will supersede USMCA.” Although more overt, Trump had already hinted at this possibility on Thursday when he floated new tariffs as an alternative to closing the border.

The USMCA, or United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, of course, is the trade deal the Trump administration negotiated as a replacement to NAFTA. Trump, as one of the architects of the agreement, has been leaning heavily on lawmakers to pass the deal and has even threatened to withdraw from NAFTA to force their hand.

In a tweet, blasted off before heading to the southern border, however, Trump derailed arguments in favor of his own deal in Washington. Why should lawmakers support a deal that the president is already eager to undermine? Trump’s tweet implies to allies and rivals alike that a deal is no protection from the unilateral, tariff-happy whims of the president. That won’t help the U.S. reach a solid, lasting trade agreement with China or the European Union.

Trump delays ICE raids, gives Congress a chance to fix immigration loop holes

Florida Republican Rep. Greg Steube weighs in on the growing crisis at the southern border.

Rep. Greg Steube R-Fla., said Sunday that House Democrats are unlikely to work with President Trump on immigration and won’t meet the Trump’s deadline to solve the crisis on the Mexico border.

Trump originally announced Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids would start in several major cities with the goal of apprehending thousands of illegal immigrants, but called off the operation at the last minute at the request of congressional Democrats. He then said Saturday he’d give Congress two weeks to come up with a solution before giving ICE the green light to proceed.

“I was in the Rose Garden with the president when he announced his immigration plan and then hours later Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi said it’s dead on arrival,” Steube said Sunday on “America’s News HQ.” 

“We have had a Congress where Democrats have absolutely stalled on doing anything as it relates to the crisis on the border. Even now Democrats and the left are saying that we have a crisis on the border.”

Steube suggested House Democrats had no interest in attacking the issue head-on.

PRINCETON PROFESSOR CALLS TRUMP’S TWEET ABOUT ICE RAIDS A ‘TERRORISTIC ACT’

“I sit on the immigration subcommittee on [the House Judiciary Committee] — they’ve done nothing as it relates to fixing this problem,” he said. “And, we as Republicans are fighting to do it. We have bills filed but they’re not wanting to move anything forward.”

Fox News’ Leland Vittert challenged Steube, saying Republicans had a chance to pass immigration reform after the 2016 elections when they had control of both congressional chambers and the White House.

“I wasn’t in Congress when that happened but I will tell you that people in my district were upset that when the Republicans had the majority, they weren’t able to get that done, and I think — I’m certainly going to be fighting to bring the majority back to Republicans in the House and if we do win the majority in 2020 you will see all of us focus on this immigration issue,” he replied.

Vittert continued to press Steube asking why voters should trust Republicans to follow through when they couldn’t deliver on immigration the first time.

TRUMP DOUBLES DOWN ON EXPECTED ICE RAID AMID PUSHBACK FROM LOCAL DEM POLITICIANS

“I think you have a president who is very focused on this issue,” he replied. “I wasn’t there so I can’t speak of what he was telling congressional leaders but… I came into Congress with a very conservative class of leaders from all across the country, and we all feel very strongly about this issue.”

Video

Steube also said Trump’s willingness to compromise with Democrats gave him hope that Congress could stem the tide of illegal immigrants pouring across the border, and finally find a permanent fix to the immigration crisis.

“The president certainly is willing to make a deal. Look at the things that he offered. I mean, he’s willing to go a lot farther than the probably more conservative members of the House are willing to go to get a deal. I think with the president’s leadership on this, hopefully, we can get something done,” he said.

“But, all the Democrats are doing is stalling and doing nothing on this issue right now while hundreds of thousands of people every month are coming illegally into our country.”

Presidente del CNE pide esperar resultados oficiales – El Universo
Presidente del CNE pide esperar resultados oficiales – El Universo

Actualizado a las 19:10

Culminó la votación en Ecuador y ahora sus ciudadanos se mantienen a la espera de resultados oficiales de la segunda vuelta electoral.

El CNE entregará datos oficiales a las 20:00, acaba de decir el presidente del CNE, Juan Pablo Pozo.

Ambos candidatos se declaran ganadores del balotaje de este domingo 2 de abril.

Según el exit poll de la empresa Cedatos, el candidato Guillermo Lasso (CREO-SUMA) ganó la elección.

De acuerdo a las respuestas de 36 mil ecuatorianos, los resultados de Cedatos son:

GUILLERMO LASSO 53,02 %
LENÍN MORENO 46,98 %

Pero, también en Quito hay festejos en la tribuna de los Shyris por parte de los seguidores de Alianza País, porque de acuerdo a un exit poll de la empresa Perfiles de Opinión, contratada por el régimen, los resultados son:

LENÍN MORENO 52,2 %
GUILLERMO LASSO 47,8 %

La decisiva jornada electoral en que los ecuatorianos eligieron un nuevo mandatario entre Lenín Moreno, representante del Movimiento Alianza PAIS, y Guillermo Lasso, postulante de la alianza CREO-SUMA, transcurrió este domingo con relativa normalidad, en medio de la expectativa de los votantes.

La normalidad la confirmó el presidente del CNE, Juan Pablo Pozo, al realizar un tercer corte del proceso, alrededor de las 16:30 de este domingo.

En España, se conocieron de inmediato los resultados, donde el candidato oficialista Lenín Moreno ganó en la elección.

A pesar de la lluvia en varias provincias de Ecuador, los votantes acudieron desde temprano a los recintos para asentar el voto, que en esta elección de segunda vuelta solo consta de una papeleta. Ya a media mañana mejoró el clima.

Los candidatos

En el colegio donde acudió a votar en Quito, el candidato Lenín Moreno, (AP), dijo estar seguro de que “Ecuador va a votar por continuar por un proceso que le marca un derrotero de futuro”. El candidato, su vicepresidente Jorge Glas, y sus simpatizantes esperan resultados en el hotel Quito, en la capital ecuatoriana.

Poco antes, Guillermo Lasso, (CREO-SUMA), aseguró tras votar en Guayaquil, que este balotaje es “crucial” para elegir entre el “camino de Venezuela o el camino de la democracia y de la libertad”. Junto a su vicepresidente Andrés Páez, sus seguidores y su familia, Lasso espera los resultados oficiales desde el hotel HIlton en Guayaquil.

Tras entregar su voto, el actual mandatario Rafael Correa destacó que las elecciones ecuatorianas son “muy importantes para ver si continúa esa tendencia (en la región de dar un giro a la derecha) o retoma fuerza la tendencia progresista”.

Se refiere al giro conservador que ha experimentado la región con el triunfo presidencial de Mauricio Macri, en Argentina; la destitución de Dilma Rousseff, en Brasil y el abultado triunfo parlamentario de la oposición venezolana, entre otros.

Consultado acerca de la transición con el nuevo gobierno, Correa dijo que “va a ser una transición pacífica informada sin sobresaltos y con la mayoría de los problemas resueltos”.

Los resultados oficiales se esperan a partir de las de 20:00 locales (01H00 GMT del lunes). (I)

1 dead, 3 missing, 18 hurt after Hard Rock Hotel collapses on Canal Street – WWLTV.com
1 dead, 3 missing, 18 hurt after Hard Rock Hotel collapses on Canal Street – WWLTV.com

NEW ORLEANS —

One person was killed and three others were missing after a part of the Hard Rock Hotel collapsed without warning on Saturday morning.

At least 18 other people were treated for injuries, authorities said.

City leaders closed a large part of the area and were evacuating other buildings near Canal and North Rampart streets because of concerns that more of the Hard Rock, which was still under construction, could fall.




“It is still very unstable,” New Orleans Fire Department Superintendent Tim McConnell said of the building.

The collapse happened about 9:12 a.m.

Eyewitness video provided to WWL-TV shows the top floors begin to collapse on top of one another before the wall on the North Rampart Street side of the building crashed to the ground below. Workers could be seen in the video running to safety on Rampart as the collapse happened.

Two large cranes were being used to build the high rise. One swayed precariously after the building collapsed, and bits and pieces of debris continued to fall to the ground below.

“The crane is still in place, but it’s unsupported,” McConnell said.

Gov. John Bel Edwards was on the scene and said the 270-crane also worried him. “When you see the crane listing away from the building … this is very serious.”

The cause of the collapse was not immediately known.

Rampart Street was littered with debris, including concrete and mangled steel. One man in a safety vest sat on the curb and appeared to hold the side of his head while wincing.

The Hard Rock Hotel was planned as an 18-story building with 350 rooms that would’ve also had 62 condominiums. It was initially set to open this spring.

























































The corner where it was under construction was for decades was home to a Woolworth’s.

The store, which was the site of lunch counter sit-ins during the civil rights movement, closed years ago, and the building remained vacant until it was demolished in 2014.

Plans to build a new structure on the site had been in the works since at least 2007, when developer Mohan Kailas bought the building for $3.6 million after plans for another redevelopment project fell through.




That project came to a halt in 2013 when Praveen Kailas pleaded guilty to fraudulently billing a state Katrina recovery program.

Praveen Kailas, the son of Mohan Kailas, had been the public face of the project before pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit theft of government funds and one count of theft of government funds. The theft scheme was exposed by WWL-TV in 2012, leading directly to the federal criminal investigation.

Praveen Kailas served almost two years in federal prison.

Kailas Cos. remains a partner in the Hard Rock project. Crews recently began work at the corner.

Prior iterations of the project raised concerns that the building’s modern appearance would clash with the French Quarter, while others argued it would not pay enough respect to the site’s ties to the civil rights movement.

Iran: US sanctions ‘create some problems’; talks possible with conditions – USA TODAY
Iran: US sanctions ‘create some problems’; talks possible with conditions – USA TODAY

The U.S. “maximum pressure” policy aimed at isolating Iran will not work, but the regime would be willing to negotiate if the Trump administration returns to the Iranian nuclear deal and drops economic sanctions, President Hassan Rouhani said Sunday.

“Of course, sanctions naturally create some problems, but they will not yield any results for the enemies,” Rouhani told state media. “Maximum pressure has failed. We are in a better situation in the region now.”

Rouhani said he doesn’t think President Donald Trump wants a war with Iran because it would “ruin” his reelection chances.

In a rare bipartisan effort to curb Trump’s powers, eight Senate Republicans aligned with Democrats last week to support legislation that would restrict the president’s ability to wage war with Iran. The measure, which goes to the House, reflected lawmakers’ concerns that U.S. tensions with Iran could escalate into a full-fledged war.

Fort Myers couple claims they camped next to the Laundries in Fort De Soto Park – NBC2 News

PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. – According to Pinellas County documents, Roberta Laundrie checked into Fort De Soto Park on September 6. The documents show she checked out on September 8.

This was all before 22-year-old Gabby Petito was reported missing on September 11. Petito was found dead in an area of Grand Teton National Park & Bridger-Teton National Forest on September 21.

Brian Laundrie’s attorney confirmed Brian and his parents visited the area together. He said that all three of them left on September 7 despite the park records showing they left a day later.

NBC2 spoke to a Fort Myers couple who camped next to the Laundrie family on September 6.

RELATED STORY – Timeline of events: Everything we know about the disappearance of Gabby Petito

They looked back on their photos and found a red truck with a camper attached to it. They are similar to the truck and camper that has been parked in front of the Laundrie family home for the past two weeks.

We asked North Port Police if they physically saw Brian Laundrie on September 11 and they said no. We then asked if police saw him at any point in time after September 11 until the 14th. Police said they have been asked to withhold that information for the integrity of the investigation.
