In a segment of his prime time show, which was accompanied by a similar op-ed on the Fox News website, Carlson said the U.S. Centers for Disease Control’s plan to distribute the vaccine was based on race and would disadvantage older white people. He went on to claim that sections of the scientific community and the media were now supporting eugenics, the discredited idea of improving the human race through selective breeding, which had a strongly racist dimension....

“To meet the Delegate Threshold for the Arizona Debate, candidates must have been allocated at least 20% of the total number of pledged delegates allocated,” the DNC said in a statement sent to Newsweek on Friday. Former Vice President Joe Biden currently holds 652 delegates after his victories on Super Tuesday, according to information from the Associated Press. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has 573 delegates. The only other candidate remaining in the Democratic race is Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard, who currently holds two delegates....

President Donald Trump has repeatedly bragged about testing in the U.S., suggesting it is superior to that of other countries. Trump tweeted last Thursday that “our TESTING is much bigger and better” compared to other countries. The president has previously said the U.S. has “the highest quality test” as well. But in an op-ed published by CNBC on Monday morning, Mulvaney, who previously served as Trump’s acting chief of staff and the director of the Office of Management and Budget, said that testing was still inadequate within the U....

“Poland is one of the few countries fulfilling their obligations under NATO—in particular their monetary obligations, and they asked us if we would send some additional troops,” Trump told reporters. “We’ll probably be moving them from Germany.” Trump estimated the reduction could leave Germany with about 25,000—down from 52,000. The meeting and announcement comes just four days ahead of a tight election for Polish President Andrzej Duda, a key Trump ally....

I refer to President Donald Trump’s pathological reliance on “I’m rubber, you’re glue” thinking—psychiatric professionals call it “projection”—to deflect attacks against him back onto his critics. This president accuses all his adversaries, real and imagined, of the very malignancies of which he is guilty. He did it with the presidential debates, quickly and childishly turning Secretary Hillary Clinton’s accusation that he was a puppet of Russian President Vladimir Putin back onto her (“No puppet!...

H.R. McMaster, who served as the sitting president’s national security adviser from February 2017 until his dismissal about one year later, discussed the implications of reducing the U.S. military’s presence in Afghanistan during an appearance on CBS News’ Face the Nation Sunday. Speaking to correspondent Margaret Brennan, the retired lieutenant general said the intended withdrawal could empower Taliban forces and put the U.S. at risk of future terror attacks....

Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald Trump’s resort in Palm Beach, Florida, will feel some effects of Hurricane Ian. This morning, Palm Beach County was under a tornado watch and warning, and it was subject to hurricane-related events such as heavy rains and strong winds as the outer bands of the storm moved through the state. Palm Beach County, where Mar-a-Lago sits, is in the southeastern quadrant of Florida along the Atlantic Ocean....

During a rally near Houston, Texas, Trump told thousands of his supporters that the rioters who stormed the Capitol in an apparent effort to disrupt the formal certification of President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory are being treated “so unfairly.” He went on to float the idea that they would receive “pardons” if he becomes president again. “This is beyond being a demagogue to the stuff of dictators. He is defying the rule of law....

This sentiment that Putin perhaps overreached in his invasion of Ukraine represents a change for Trump, who in the past, has praised the Russian leader. Trump called Putin’s strategy for the Ukraine invasion “genius,” a comment that he blamed the media for misreporting after receiving significant pushback. In an interview in late February, after Putin recognized two breakaway regions of Ukraine—Donetsk and Luhansk— as independent, and the Russian president announced he was sending troops to the area for a “peacekeeping” mission, Trump said: “Here’s a guy that says, you know, ‘I’m gonna declare a big portion of Ukraine independent....

“What’s happening with Russia and Ukraine would never have happened under the Trump Administration. Not even a possibility!” the former president said in a statement posted on Twitter by his spokesperson Liz Harrington. Trump’s remarks come after Russia recently told the U.S. to stop providing military aid to Ukraine, warning it had “almost completed” assembling 127,000 troops at the Ukrainian border. The Russian Embassy in Washington said if the U....

Originally signed by President Harry S. Truman in 1950, the DPA allows the federal government to direct the private sector to focus its efforts on aiding the defense of the country. In the legislation signed Wednesday, Trump said the shortage of medical equipment during the coronavirus pandemic meets the criteria for using the DPA. “To ensure that our healthcare system is able to surge capacity and capability to respond to the spread of COVID-19,” read Wednesday’s executive order from the White House, “it is critical that all health and medical resources needed to respond to the spread of COVID-19 are properly distributed to the Nation’s healthcare system and others that need them most at this time....

In the Twitter thread, the president seems to blame Newsom’s leadership for California’s long history of wildfires, compared to other states. “Every year, as the fire’s rage & California burns, it is the same thing-and then he comes to the Federal Government for $$$ help. No more. Get your act together Governor. You don’t see close to the level of burn in other states,” Trump wrote. In response to the president, Newsom tweeted later: “You don’t believe in climate change....

Speaking to reporters after taking part in a call with serving members of the U.S. military, Trump lost his patience with one reporter who tried to interrupt an answer from the president with another remark. The row began when Trump was asked whether he would concede the election to President-elect Joe Biden if the Electoral College confirmed his victory in the contest. “It’s going to be a very hard thing to concede, because we know there was massive fraud,” the commander-in-chief said, repeating a baseless accusation pursued by his legal team....

Russia launched an internationally condemned invasion of Ukraine on February 24. Just ahead of Moscow’s full-scale assault on its Eastern European neighbor, Trump praised Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, calling him a “genius.” The former president has drawn widespread backlash from Democrats and some prominent Republicans for the remarks. During a speech to donors in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Saturday evening, Trump again addressed the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine....

The former president said he has offered assistance to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) as its investigation continues “because the temperature has to be brought down in the country.” “If it isn’t, terrible things are going to happen,” he told Fox News Digital. Days of political debate have followed the FBI’s search, which Trump has described as “a sneak attack on democracy.” Newsweek reported last week that an informant tipped off the FBI about classified documents Trump allegedly kept at Mar-a-Lago after leaving the White House, leading to agents’ execution of a search warrant on August 8....

Several recent polls suggest a Trump victory could still happen in November, despite the social and political issues in America. According to an RMG Research poll, which surveyed 500 registered voters in Kentucky from May 21 to 25, 53 percent of the state’s registered voters would vote for Trump if the election were held today, while 36 percent would vote for former Vice President Joe Biden. Among those same voters surveyed, 55 percent had a favorable view of Trump, while 43 percent of those surveyed had an unfavorable view....

Frank Figliuzzi is the former assistant director for counterintelligence at the FBI and is currently national security contributor for NBC News. As well as the impeachment inquiry centered on claims the U.S. president pressured his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky to get dirt on 2020 Democrat rival Joe Biden and his son Hunter, House Democrats continue their pursuit of Trump’s tax returns. Discussing the legal difficulties that the president now faces, Figliuzzi was asked by the host of the Mike Lupica podcast whether he believed there would be a scenario in which Trump would resign his office voluntarily....

With the National Book Award-winning “Sabbath’s Theater” (1995) and the Pulitzer Prize-winning “American Pastoral” (1997), Roth’s been having a magnificent Indian summer–and a second honeymoon with the critics. In “The Human Stain,” widely and justly praised, he stretches his imaginative sympathies to embrace such un-Rothian characters as a black man passing for Jewish, an abused charwoman and–hold on to your hats, ladies–a feisty, likable feminist literary scholar. With Zuckerman’s reminders that he’s inventing their rich inner lives, he and his inventor dare you to resist the force of novelistic imagination....

Hatred doesn’t begin to describe the emotion Al-Idrissi and many other Iraqis, especially Shiites, feel for the fallen leader. To have him captive “is a treasure for the people who were oppressed by him,” says Al-Idrissi. In his mind, such loathing should be savored: “We have been growing our hatred for him for 35 years, so we don’t want to lose this hatred for Saddam in a short while.” Let him be tortured, let him confess, let him be killed as horribly as he killed others, Al-Idrissi suggests: “All religions say ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth....
