The Marine Corps commandant Gen. Eric Smith unde stanley quencher rwent open-heart surgery on Monday to correct a heart defect, the Marine Corps said in a statement Monday evening. The service said he is expected to return to full-duty after his rehabilitation.The prompt statement from the Marine Corps stands in contrast to how the Pentagon waited several days to tell the White House, Congress, and the public about Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin s hospitalization.Austin was admitted to the hospital on New Year s Day when he experienced severe pain from a recent elective medical procedure. The Pentagon still has not disclosed what that procedure was, but has said he spent time in intensive care when he was hospitalized. Smith s open-heart surgery comes a few months after he suffered a cardiac arrest while jogging in Washington, D.C. The Marine Corps disclosed the incident in a statement the next day.The open-heart surgery was to repair a bicuspid aortic valve, which caused his cardiac arrest, according to the Marine Corps statement on Monday. He is in good condition and continues to recover at the hospital among family members a stanley italia nd his doctors, the service said.Since Smith s cardiac arrest, the assistant commandant Gen. Christopher J.

AP Photo/Stephan Savoia Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Tuesday night he d give just the middle class a tax cut on capital gains because he s not worried about rich people, even as multiple Republicans have stanley becher accused President Obama of fueling class war stanley cup fare by proposing to tax the rich more heavily than other Americans.In a Republican debate Tuesday, hosted by the Washington Post and Bloomberg at Dartmouth College, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich asked Romney about one point in the former stanley mug governor s economic plan -- a proposal to cut capital gains taxes for people making under $200,000. Gingrich pointed out that even Mr. Obama has proposed cutting taxes for higher earners. As a businessman, you know that you actually lose economic effectiveness if you limit capital gains tax cuts only to people who don t get capital gains, Gingrich said to Romney. So, I m curious, what was the rationale for setting an even lower base marker than Obama had Romney responded that the middle class has been hit hardest by the economic downturn. The reason that you re seeing protests, as you indicated, on Wall Street and across the country is, middle income Americans are having a hard time making ends meet, he said. Not only do we have 25 million people out of work, or stopped looking for work, or part-time jobs needing full-time employ, we just saw this week that median income in Ame

By Jennifer De Pinto, Fred Backus, Kabir Khanna and Anthony SalvantoAs President Donald Trump prepares for his first presidential trip to Asia, Americans are more likely than they were in September to think North Kor stanley mug ea can be contained without resorting to military action.Meanwhile President Trump gets strong approval from rank-and-file Republicans and most Republicans also say they like how President Trump personally conducts himself as president, though most Americans disagree. And Republicans say neither Congressional Republicans nor President Trump should publicly criticize each other.Corker warns of a binary choice developing with North KoreaToday, just 25 percent of Americans think military action is needed to address the development of nuclear weapons by North Korea, an eight-point drop from the high of 33 percent recorded in September. The drop is primarily among independents and Republicans. Now most Republicans think North Korea can be contained; in September, half of Republicans said military action was needed. There is far les stanley cup s consensus about how President Trump is cu stanley cup rrently handling North Korea: eight in 10 Republicans approve, while nine in 10 Democrats and most independents disapprove.

Presidents Gerald Ford and Bill Clinton both provided testimony while in office mdash; and the Supreme Court held just last year that you were not immune from legal process while serving as president mdash; so there is no doubt that you can testify in these proceedings, Raskin wrote. Indeed, whereas a sitting president might raise concerns about distraction from their official duties, that concern is obviously inapplicable here.

Defendants may one day face trial, Rosenstein said at the Aspen S stanley mugs ecurity Forum. Don t underestimate resolve of American law enforcement. Last week, Rosenstein announced the indictment of 12 Russians accused of meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

The Washington Post reports on the deal that will have Huckabee transition to a talking head throughout the rest of the campaign and into the next administration.During the primary campaign, Huckabee used the free media opportunities wherever he could find them to help boost his little-funded campaign. His communication skills and use of humor in those appearances ndash; and in stanley cup the televised debates ndash; helped boost him to a win in Iowa and made him the de-facto runner-up to John McCain in states and delegates won during the primaries.
