Pence Disputes Reports That Yemen Raid Yielded No Significant Intel

... of Congress Tuesday night, Trump spoke warmly of Owens and introduced his widow, seated in the gallery. She received an extended standing ovation, after which Trump said “Ryan is looking down right now, you know that, and he’s very happy because I think he just broke a record,” a line that prompted laughter in the House chamber and a smile from the SEAL’s wife. The White House has repeatedly labeled the mission as a success because of the intelligence it yielded, although officials have generally been cautious to couch that characterization with praise for Owens’ sacrifice. But citing anonymous sources, NBC News reported Tuesday that the operation had not generated any significant information. Owens’ father, who refused to meet President Donald Trump when he traveled to greet the remains of the fallen SEAL at Dover Air Force Base, said in an interview with the Miami Herald that the operation should be investigated and warned the White House not to hide behind his son’s death. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has said the operation ...

Mike Pence, Your Friendly Neighborhood ‘theocrat

... policies, coating them in a religious veneer for so-called “values voters.” When the annual anti-abortion March for Life rolled through Washington, it was Pence who addressed the overwhelmingly religious crowd, telling them “life is winning again in America.” And when the Trump administration finally condemned anti-Semitism after four waves of bomb threats in February, it was Pence — not Trump — who visited a desecrated Jewish cemetery in St. Louis to deliver a speech and help with clean-up efforts. And despite valid criticisms of theological inconsistency on Pence’s part, his spiritual messaging tactics appear to be working. White evangelicals continue to embrace Trump in large numbers, and they remain the only major religious group in the country whose support for Trump’s Muslim ban has increased since last year. “[Trump] has already got a vice president who definitely stands firm in my belief — very firm,” he said. “I ...

Will It Soon Be Donald Trump Vs. Mike Pence

... how critical Vice President Mike Pence becomes. If things get really bad — impeachment or some 25 th Amendment "solution" — the choice will not be Trump vs. Clinton. It will be Trump vs. Pence, who'd take over if Trump left or was removed. Uh-oh. Pence is in positive territory (43/39 in the __link__ average), and among Republicans, especially those on Capitol Hill, he's exceptionally popular. If you gave 52 GOP senators a secret ballot and asked if they would prefer Pence or Trump, would Trump get more than a handful of votes? I doubt it. And that, if the facts get dicey and Trump's behavior gets wackier, will be a big problem for Trump. Democrats, as much as they dislike Pence's conservative ideology, would no doubt jump for joy if they got Pence instead of Trump. Republicans would rejoice at the prospect of a "normal' president who might help accomplish their aims. In other words, if down the road the president continues to ...

Mike Pence Asks Indiana Supreme Court To Stay Out Of His Redacted Emails

... violate the separation of powers doctrine for the judiciary to second guess the redactions. Mike Pence prevails in email secrecy suit. That was an important finding to advocates of government transparency, who feared a Pence victory in the suit could set a broader precedent that would embolden future governors to refuse to disclose or heavily redact public documents with no court oversight. Earlier this month, Groth petitioned the Indiana Supreme Court to take up the case. Indianapolis attorney Greg Bowes filed the 19-page petition on behalf of Groth claiming the appeals court erred in determining that the white paper did not have to be released because it was "deliberative material" for the purpose of preparing for litigation. Groth is arguing the Court of Appeals improperly applied the attorney-client relationship doctrine because the white paper ...

Mike Pence Seals The Deal For Jewish Republicans

... not offer much in terms of details on how the Trump administration will back Israel. Pence mentioned Trump’s intention to advance peace between Israel and the Palestinians and noted that he himself had discussed the issue with Adelson before the dinner. Trying to walk around Trump’s pre-election promise to move the U. S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, Pence offered a new formulation, stating that the administration is “assessing” when the embassy should be relocated. “The best thing about this new administration is that I don’t have to wake up every day and worry about what [former White House press secretary] Josh Earnest said about Israel,” said Mark Levenson, a New Jersey Jewish activist who stated he is still a registered Democrat, but “on Israel, my views are where Republicans are.”. Adelson, RJC’s chief sponsor, was Trump’s biggest Jewish donor and is responsible, to a great extent, for bringing Jewish Republicans to ...

Vice President Mike Pence Talks About Healthcare In Springdale

... insurance. He reiterated Trump's pledge to repeal the Affordable Care Act, commonly called Obamacare. "The Obamacare nightmare is about to be over," Pence said. Tying the issue to his hosts, Pence said the lower-cost healthcare system would allow small businesses like Frame USA to create more jobs. "When small business is strong, America is strong," Pence said. Pence's speech followed a tour of Frame USA's facility. The company makes frames for posters, pictures and artwork. The company was founded in 1982 in Maryland as a small art and print retailer and expanded to southwest Ohio. Frame USA moved its manufacturing, distribution and other operations to Springdale in 1990, according to its website.

Immigration Executive Order Causes Anxiety In Vp Mike Pence's Hometown

Article continues after sponsorship. Mohamed is Muslim and wears a hijab. She says the changes she's noticed in town since Trump's inauguration are palpable. "I don't go out that much after Jan. 20, because my friends, they have been through so many harassments, so — so that's why I just kind of stay home," she says. Her husband Eleawad says this isn't good for his employer. He notes that Cummins relies on global diversity to help sell its engines around the world. "If you depend on just — I would say, 'true American' people to do everything, you wouldn't be able to go to European market, or Middle East market or China or India, because you have no idea about their culture, no idea about how to sell the product," Eleawad says. Without those sales, Cummins and this city likely would struggle — the local economy is that dependent on exports. That could be a big problem if President Trump or Congress ...

Pence Visits Desecrated Jewish Cemetery After Anti-semitic Attacks

... City - where a vandal or vandals toppled and damaged more than 100 headstones in the past week. Pence's boss, President Donald Trump, was criticized for not speaking out sooner against anti-Semitism, but on Tuesday the President called bomb threats at 48 Jewish Community Centers in the US last month and other recent anti-Semitic incidents "horrible" and "painful.". Pence, for his part, offered an unprompted message after receiving a tour of the Fabick Cat distribution center a mere 16 miles from the cemetery.
