President Trump discussed the possibility of establishing safe zones in Syria with King stanley tumbler stanley taza Abdullah II of Jordan, accordin stanley mugs g to a White House statement about the meeting.Mr. Trump met with the Jordanian leader Thursday morning at the National Prayer Breakfast held in Washington, D.C.According to a White House readout of the meeting, Mr. Trump said the U.S. was committed to Jordanrsquo ldquo tability, security, and prosperity and thanked the king for his leadership in the Middle East. Mr. Trump noted Jordanrsquo contributions to the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria ISIS and the two talked about the possibility of creating safe zones in Syria.The president has previously called for plans to create safe zones in and around Syria to protect those seeking refuge from the countryrsquo civil war. During his signing of an executive order at the Department of Homeland Security last week, he said he would call on the Pentagon and the State Department to draft up a plan for Syrian safe zones. The final draft of the executive order he signed that day did not include this language. Mr. Trump has already received some backlash from Russia for his plans when it comes to safe zones. On Thursday, the Kremlin warned that any U.S. hopes for safe zones should be thoroughly considered.The world leaders also discussed the kingrsquo possible return to Washington for an official visit in the future.

President Barack Obama and his family are looking for a new church, but his decision represents more than merely settling on a pew.The Obamas planned to attend Easter services Sunday, marking the president s first visit to a Washington church since taking office in January.

Whatever decision he makes is going to be analyzed with a fine-tooth comb against the backdrop of the Rev. Wright.

Qzxp CBS Poll: Obama Has Edge In Final Debate
According to the final CBS News Iowa Battleground Tracker, the caucuses in Iowa tonight will be very close.Former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders are tied as the voters first choice, with 25 percent each. Pete Buttigieg is close behind, followed by Senators Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar. But what sets Iowa apart is that its caucuses are not a primary.

File,AP Photo/Ann Heisenfelt Updated 7:56 a.m. Eastern Time CBS News Mitt Romney may now be widely seen as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, but that doesn t mean there isn t still voting to be done.Today, voters in five states - Connecticut, Delaware, cups stanley New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island - head to the polls. Turnout is expected to be low, in part because there s not much suspense over what s going to happen: Romney is widely expected to take at least four of the five stanley tazas states up for grabs today, and in doing so inch closer to the magic 1,144 threshold he needs to take the nomination before the convention. The race in Pennsylvania had looked like a potential barnburner - but then former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum dropped out of the race. Romney is expected to add more than 200 delegates to the 688 estimated delegates that he had already secured before today, and is on pace to secure the nomination sometime in late May. The one state where it appears Romney might not get a win - and it s hard to tell in the absence of polling - is Delaware, where Newt Gingrich has been focusing his campaign over the past few weeks, winning some endorsements along the way. If Gingrich does not do well in the First State, the candidate plans to reassess his bid, h stanley mug e told NBC News Monday night.

Rzeg Obama: U.S. intel on Iran nuke work very good
Arizona can e stanley botella nforce a near-total ban on abortions that has b stanley cupe een blocked for nearly 50 years, a judge ruled Friday, meaning clinics statewide will have to stop providing the procedures to avoid the filing of criminal charges against doctors and other medical workers.The judge lifted a decades-old injunction that has long blocked enforcement of the law, on the books since before Arizona became a state, that bans nearly all abortions. The only exemption is if the woman s life is in jeopardy.The ruling means people seeking abortions will have to go to another state to obtain one. An appeal of the ruling is likely. The decision from Pima County Superior Court Judge Kellie Johnson came more than a month after she heard arguments on Republican Attorney General Mark Brnovich s request to lift the injunction. It had been in place since shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court s 1973 decision in the Roe v. Wade case, which held women had a constitutional right to abortion.The near-total abortion ban was enacted decades before Arizona was granted statehood in 1912. Prosecutions were halted after the injunction was handed down following the Roe decision. Even so, the Legislature reenacted the law several times, most recently in 1977.Assistant Attorney General Beau Roysden told Johnson at an Aug. 19 hearing that since Roe has been overturned, the sol stanley cup e reason for the injunction blocking the old law is gone and she should allow it to be enforced.

Fred Thompson, the potential presidential candidate better known as television s gruff Law Order district attorney, said Wednesday he was diagnosed with lymphoma more than two years ago but the cancer shouldn t affect his life expectancy.In an interview with Fox News Channel s Neil Cavuto, the former Tennessee senator, 64, said a doctor conducting a physical in 2004 found a bump on his neck, which turned out to be non-Hodgkin s lymphoma. He said the disease is in remission with no illness or symptoms, and it won t affect his decision about whether to seek the Republican nomination. I wouldn t be doing this if I wasn t satisfied in my own mind as to the nature of it and the fact that not only will I have an average lifespan but in stanley mug the meantime I will not be affected in anyway by it, Thompson said.

Some lymphomas are very aggressive, but people with slow-growing types, like Senator Thompson s, more often die from natural stanley isolierkanne causes associated with old age, rather than from the disease, Cheson said in a statement. Thompson s disclosure comes just weeks after Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, revealed that her cancer had returned.

Washington mdash; The Senate on Thursday failed to advance a bill to bolster federal efforts to combat domestic terrorism, a setback in Democratic efforts to take action in the wake of deadly mass shootings at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, and an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.The vote to begin debate on the bill, known as the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2022, failed by a margin of 47 to 47, falling far short of the 60-vote threshold n stanley cup eeded to overcome Republican opposition in the 50-50 Senate.

By Bonnie Erbe, Thomas Jefferson Street blog.U.S. senators frequently spend way too much time belaboring the obvious or posturing during opening statements before they start questioning Supreme Court nominees. But today s statement by Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island is a surprising exception. In his statement, he laid bare the fallacy of judicial restraint, used by conservatives to pretend that conservative-leaning judges don t make new law, whereas activist liberals do:For all the talk of modesty and restraint, the right wing Justices of the Court have a striking record of ignoring precedent, overturning congressional statutes, limiting constitutional protections, and discovering new constitutional rights: the infamous Ledbetter decision, for instance; the Louisville and stanley thermobecher Seattle integration cases, for example; the first limitation on Roe v.

By Michael Barone, Thomas Jefferson Street blogMickey Kaus, pretty much alone among the commentators I ve been reading, indicts Wagner Act unionism for the decline and fall of the U.S. auto industry. The problem, he argues, is not just the high level of benefits that the United Auto Workers has secured for its members but the work rules--some 5,000 pages of them--it has imposed on the automakers. As Kaus points out, unionism as established by the Wagner Act is inherently adversarial. The union once certified as bargaining agent has a duty not only to negotiate wages and fringe benefits but also to negotiate work rules and to represent workers in constant disputes about work procedures.The plight of the Detroit Three auto companies raises the question of why people ever thought this was a stanley travel mug good idea. The answer, I think, is that unionism was seen as the necessary antidote to Taylorism. That s not a familiar term today, but it was when the Wagner Act was passed in 1935. Frederick Winslow Taylor was a Philadelphia businessman who pioneered time and motion studies. As Robe stanley cup rt stanley thermos mug Kanigal sets out in The One Best Way, his biography of Taylor, he believed that there was one best way to do every job. Industrial workers, he believed, should be required to do their job in this one best way, over and over again. He believed workers should be treated like dumb animals and should be allowed no initiative whatever, lest they perform with less than perfect efficiency.

This story was written by Kenneth P. Vogel. Decades of lawmaking and court decisions restricting the flow of cash into U.S. elections are on the verge of coming undone, placing President Barack Obama in the unexpected position of presiding over the possible demise of the modern campaign finance regime. Most of the developments now threatening to reverse efforts to reduce the influence of money in politics were set in stanley cup motion during George W. Bush s presidency. But Obama is nevertheless poised to watch the regulatory regime crumble aroun stanley mug d him as his administration follows a cautious approach that mostly ignores calls for more activist steps to salvage the troubled campaign finance system. The irony that the system could collapse on Obama s watch, after he convinced the advocates for stricter regulations that he was one of their own, is not lost on those who support limits on the flo stanley italia w of money into the American political system.
