Bush Claims Right To Edit Security Reports
October 6, 2006
.
"President Bush, again defying Congress, says he has the power to edit the Homeland Security Department’s reports about whether it obeys privacy rules while handling background checks, ID cards and watch lists.

In the law Bush signed Wednesday, Congress stated no one but the privacy officer could alter, delay or prohibit the mandatory annual report on Homeland Security department activities that affect privacy, including complaints.

But Bush, in a signing statement attached to the agency’s 2007 spending bill, said he will interpret that section “in a manner consistent with the President’s constitutional authority to supervise the unitary executive branch.”

Bush edited documents. Democrats either destroyed them or refused to hand them over.
 
"For months, Ukraine has been caught up in a heated debate over whether the country needs to hold a presidential election in March next year as originally scheduled.

All elections - including presidential ones - are prohibited under the country's current martial law, imposed
after Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.

Many, in
Ukraine, are outraged by the idea, fearing a vote could distract the nation from its fight for survival.

Tensions eased after President Volodymyr Zelensky said in November that it was "not the right time" for elections.

But the issue seems to be
far from over, and has fueled a political confrontation unseen in the country since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion.

The discussion about
Ukrainian elections is partly being pushed by U.S. politicians, ahead of the country's election in 2024, particularly by a small group within the Republican party, says Olha Aivazovska, chairwoman of the election monitoring network Opora.

She argues that some
hard-right Republicans are using the issue to justify their demand to block military aid to Ukraine."

"NBC News has demanded that Donald Trumps campaign remove a video that includes audio deceptively edited to seem like it comes from an NBC correspondent after the third presidential debate, two people familiar with the exchange told Semafor.

The video in question, shared by a top Trump adviser, opens with authentic footage of NBC News senior Capitol Hill correspondent Garrett Haake previewing the debate for the network. It soon cuts to video of each candidate as a voiceover — in Haake’s voice — makes disparaging comments about the candidates.

“This is Ron DeSantis: An establishment RINO that wears insoles in order to look taller,” the voiceover says. “And this is Nikki Haley: Nobody really gives a shit about Nikki Haley.”

If leftists twist facts and edit comments to change meanings, they see no problem. If conservative sources quote their actual words verbatim leftists whine that they have been taken out of context.

"Legislative efforts in Missouri and Mississippi are attempting to prevent voters from having a say over abortion rights, building on anti-abortion strategies seen in other states, including last year in Ohio.

A
proposal passed Wednesday by the Mississippi House would ban residents from placing abortion initiatives on the statewide ballot. Mississippi has among the toughest abortion restrictions in the country, with the procedure banned except to save the life of the woman or in cases of rape or incest.

In
response to the bill, Democratic Rep. Cheikh Taylor said direct democracy “shouldnt include terms and conditions.”

Dont let anyone tell you this is just about abortion,” Taylor said. “This is about a Republican Party who thinks they know what’s best for you, better than you know what’s best for you. This is about control. So much for liberty and limited government.”
