Monday morning, Attorney General Loretta Lynch found herself needing to backtrack on her comments last week that seemed to imply that the Department of Justice will come after anyone speaking disparagingly to Muslims. "Of course, we prosecute deeds and not words," Lynch said at a press conference.

Beijing has issued its first ever “Red Alert” over the city’s smog, and the Chinese capital will now go into shutdown in an attempt to protect people from the deadly air. Red alert is the highest possible state of caution that can be declared. It is the first time ever that it has been declared in the capital. The warning means that schools will have to shutdown and construction and other industry in the city will be limited.

Obamacare has an incurable preexisting condition: It eats away at the private insurance market on which it relies. That market cannot survive Obamacare's hubristic mandates, and Obamacare cannot survive the collapse of that market. On their present course, both are doomed. The challenge for conservatives is to figure out how, upon Obamacare's repeal, to rescue private insurance. If conservatives don't save that market, liberals will—only it will no longer be a market for private insurance, and there will no longer be millions of purchasers, but just one. The question is, will conservatives kill Obamacare and save the private market, or will liberals kill the private market and institute single-payer health care? How to save the private market is no mystery: Repeal Obamacare, encourage the use of health savings accounts, and offer a non-income-tested tax credit to those who buy health insurance on their own—to more or less equalize the tax treatment of employer-based and individually purchased insurance. This is an issue of the highest importance, but Republican presidential candidates have been slow to focus on it.

By Andrew Cawthorne and Eyanir Chinea CARACAS (Reuters) - Triumphant opposition leaders vowed on Monday to use their new majority in Venezuela's legislature to free jailed opponents of the Socialist government, but also promised not to go after political foes. The Democratic Unity coalition won more than twice the number of National Assembly seats as the Socialists in Sunday's vote that punished President Nicolas Maduro's government for deep economic and social crisis in the oil-producing country. It was the first time in 16 years that the "Chavismo" movement, named for former socialist President Hugo Chavez, lost its majority in the 167-member assembly, and gives the opposition a platform to further erode Maduro's power.

I’ve written many times that you can’t listen to the words of this administration when it discusses defending America and confronting terrorism. You have to look at the consequences of its policies and actions.

Here's a surprising result: Republican Janice Frey Van Ness won a special election runoff Dec. 1 in Georgia's 43rd state Senate district. The surprise is that this is a district whose population is 61 percent black and voted 72 percent for Barack Obama in 2012. It covers suburban territory southeast of Atlanta, including most of Rockdale County, a small part of DeKalb County and part of Newton County. This is an area of rapid population growth, with a growing population of middle-income black homeowners. Does this mean that middle-income blacks are trending Republican? Maybe, maybe not. Van Ness undoubtedly benefited from local ties: a small business owner and found of a private school, she was elected to the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners in 2006 and 2010. Turnout was low and she probably benefited from personal ties. But it does suggest that in the post-Obama years more black voters than in the past may be willing to give serious consideration to Republican candidates.

Monsanto is being placed on trial by a consortium of international companies, including the Organic Consumers Association (OCA), IFOAM International Organics, Navdanya, Regeneration International (RI), and Millions Against Monsanto and dozens of global food, farming and environmental justice groups. Monsanto, known for the toxic chemicals it has produced and used on the world including PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyl), one of the 12 Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) that affect human and animal fertility, 2,4,5 T (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid), a dioxin-containing component of the defoliant, Agent Orange, which was used by the US Army during the Vietnam War, and Lasso, an herbicide that is now banned in Europe, will be put on trial for crimes against humanity and the environment in October of 2016. The most recent and biggest global health scandal involves Monsanto's Roundup, which has been classified as a probable carcinogen by the World Health Organization.  The toxic herbicide has been linked to devastating health conditions throughout the world and traces of it are found throughout the food chain. Based on the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, a document created by the UN in 2011, the group of international lawyers will determine the level of criminal liability placed on Monsanto for damages inflicted on human health and the environment. “Monsanto is able to ignore the human and environmental damage caused by its products, and maintain its devastating activities through a strategy of systemic concealment: by lobbying regulatory agencies and governments, by resorting to lying and corruption, by financing fraudulent scientific studies, by pressuring independent scientists, and by manipulating the press and media,

Jerry Brown claimed pro-Second Amendment laws in other states were a "terrorist back door" to events like the San Bernardino terror attack.

Under a feeble sun trying to clear a morning rain, Heidi Cruz hopped out of her rental car — coincidentally a Chevrolet Cruze — and headed for the Virginia elections office. To round out the sharp edges of her husband’s image as a hard-nosed, no-compromise, scowling tea party conservative that many mainstream Republicans — notably former boss George W. Bush — find downright unlikable. Despite her own hard-charging career as an investment banker, Ted Cruz’s petite, 43-year-old wife has become one of the most visible spouses in the race. Rounding out the picture of a happy family often is the job of a supportive political spouse extending the reach of the candidate. [...] the Cruz charm offensive is more nuanced, given her husband’s role as a party rebel. Heidi Cruz — a Bush administration veteran, Harvard MBA, with a graduate degree from the Université libre de Bruxelles in Belgium — is more modern career woman than traditional housewife. With her blond hair brushed straight back, Cruz was all business in a prim white cardigan over form-fitting black slacks and 2-inch heels. “Heidi is a perfect example a woman can do what she has been gifted to do by the Lord,” said Callie Chaplain, a Virginia campaign volunteer who brought her four home-schooled children — one of them carrying a toy hand grenade — to see the candidate’s wife. The Christian sense of calling has been central to Cruz since her childhood in Africa with her missionary parents, Seventh-Day Adventists who bequeathed to her the vegetarian diet of their faith. “She feels called to do what she’s doing in support of her husband,” said Georgia GOP activist Kay Godwin, who has done several campaign events with Heidi Cruz. In the intimate setting of the Confederate general’s parlor, Cruz talked up the ideological underpinnings of the campaign and the strength of a conservative grass-roots army that could make victory possible. How they dated only six months before they decided to marry; how he struggled to ask her father for her hand in marriage; how he always has been surrounded by strong women, from his Cuban Aunt Sonia, to his mathematician mother, to his career-driven wife. The picture also goes contrary to his critics’ view of him as a self-centered politician of overweening ambition and ego. The presentation in the Stewart-Lee House was met with collective “awwws” and laughter — precisely the desired effect for a meticulously planned campaign where Heidi Cruz is an increasingly important asset. Heidi Cruz parlayed her campaign experience into a prestigious job as an assistant to U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick, right-hand man to Bush family consigliere James Baker. [...] when then-Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott offered Ted Cruz the post of state solicitor general, he decided to take it, putting the newlyweds in a long-distance, Washington-to-Austin relationship. Haley, one of her lifelong mentors, described Heidi Cruz as ambitious, but singularly clear-eyed, grounded, and practical. The officer, finding that she wasn’t drunk or on medication, decided she nevertheless was a “danger to herself” and gave her a lift from the highway. “I wouldn’t describe it as stress so much as it was just a transitional period for me where I had to figure out how God would use me in this next chapter,” she said.
