Why did Bush hold back? He kept his cool even after Sen. John McCain, who is emerging as his one credible challenger, jumped at the chance to denounce Buchanan for being soft on Nazism. Bush, it turns out, was paying attention to simple mathematics, say his aides. If Buchanan runs as a third-party candidate in 2000, he could siphon off 5 percent or so of the vote from the Republican nominee....

Trudeau said Wednesday he has revoked the Emergencies Act a week after assuming its sweeping powers to address the so-called Freedom Convoy, a protest started by truckers last month in response to new COVID-19 vaccination requirements. “The situation is no longer an emergency; therefore, the federal government will be ending the use of the Emergencies Act,” Trudeau said at a press conference. “We are confident that existing laws and bylaws are sufficient to keep people safe....
What this sounds like to me is Activision not expecting much out of True Crime. Certainly not enough to release it during the holiday season where even lesser games have the potential to sell better than they would otherwise. The obvious elephant in the room is the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops, also slated for late 2010. Could Activision have been thinking that it was better to clear the holiday season to make way for the juggernaut?...
Trump was first spotted arriving at Virginia’s Dulles Airport on Monday morning ahead of an unannounced visit to the nation’s capital. This news sparked a wave of speculation online, with many suggesting that the former president was either about to be arrested by the Department of Justice (DOJ) or was set to visit Walter Reed Hospital for medical reasons. In a post made to Truth Social around noon ET, Trump attempted to dispel rumors, saying that he was visiting the Trump National Golf Course and that he would be “working” there....
In a series of tweets, the outgoing president also suggested a law that gives the social media companies a degree of legal immunity against illegal content uploaded by their users—Section 230—should be revoked on grounds of national security. “Twitter is sending out totally false ‘Trends’ that have absolutely nothing to do with what is really trending in the world,” Trump wrote on Friday. “They make it up, and only negative ‘stuff’....
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on Wednesday issued a policy alert revoking a previous guidance that considers the children of service members and government officials born overseas as “residing in the United States.” Under the former policy, the children would be granted automatic citizenship under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). “Effective October 29, 2019, children residing abroad with their U.S. citizen parents who are U.S. government employees or members of the U....
U.S. Magistrate Zia Faruqui said that those who took part in the insurrection were “enemies at the heart of American democracy” during a Tuesday ruling denying a pre-trial release for Klein.

“I didn’t learn anything that I didn’t already know,” Trump attorney Bruce Castor told reporters Wednesday during a brief break after senators saw several close encounters with the rioters. “We know a mob breached the Capitol and wreaked havoc in the building. I’m waiting for them to connect that up to President Trump and so far that hadn’t happened.” The U.S. House impeached Trump a week after the mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to stop the certification of President Joe Biden’s election....
Griner arrived in the U.S. that day after being freed in a prisoner swap for Viktor Bout, a Russian arms dealer nicknamed the “merchant of death,” who had been in American custody at the United States Penitentiary, near Marion, Illinois.

Trump, who supports the legislation and which has broad bipartisan support, labeled Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) a “third rate Grandstander” who should be thrown out of the Republican Party by voters. “Workers & small businesses need money now in order to survive. Virus wasn’t their fault. It is ‘HELL’ dealing with the Dems, had to give up some stupid things in order to get the ‘big picture’ done,” the president wrote in a trio of tweets....

McConnell had previously opposed a deal but shifted his position on Wednesday, announcing that Republicans would not block a Democratic attempt to pass a temporary fix. The standalone debt ceiling bill passed along party lines on Thursday after 10 Republicans joined McConnell to break a GOP filibuster. McConnell insisted he had “stepped forward” with “a plan to prevent default.” Trump denounced the minority leader’s decision and called for “new leadership” among Senate Republicans during a Thursday night interview on Fox News’ Hannity....
Trump has been subject to myriad investigations in the past few months. At the culmination of the January 6 committee hearings, Trump was subpoenaed to turn over documents related to his activities regarding the U.S. Capitol insurrection, to which he responded by suing the committee.

New York Attorney General Letitia James also has accused Trump and his real estate company of fraud....
Trump’s comments came as he criticized Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for giving local elections officials money during the 2020 presidential election. A Republican-backed lawsuit claiming that the $16 million that he and his wife Priscilla Chan donated to Michigan elections clerks was illegal was thrown out by a judge last month, MLive reported. “[Zuckerberg] flooded local Michigan election offices with nearly $17 million,” the former president said. “You know, in a great state, Nebraska, a congressman is being put in jail over a few dollars that he possibly didn’t know anything about, he’s going to jail, a few thousand dollars....
“The 25th Amendment is of zero risk to me but will come back to haunt Joe Biden and the Biden administration,” Trump said while speaking in Texas near the Mexico border wall. “As the expression goes, ‘Be careful what you wish for.’” On Monday, House Republicans blocked an attempt by Democrats to pass a resolution calling on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment, which outlines a procedure to replace the president, in the event that he is unfit to serve....
Speaking to reporters before departing the White House for his Fayetteville, North Carolina rally Saturday evening, Trump said he had “given the deal my blessing.” Though Trump has approved the deal, the Chinese government must now also agree.

Trump said Saturday that should the deal go through as planned, TikTok Global will be based in Texas....
