As a deer gets thirsty for streams of water, I truly am thirsty for you, my God. In my heart, I am thirsty for you, the living God. When will I see your face? Day and night my tears are my only food, as everyone keeps asking, “Where is your God?” Sorrow floods my heart, when I remember leading the worshipers to your house.[a] I can still hear them shout their joyful praises. Why am I discouraged? Why am I restless? I trust you! And I will praise you again because you help me, and you are my God. I am deeply discouraged as I think about you from where the Jordan begins at Mount Hermon and from Mount Mizar. Your vicious waves have swept over me like an angry ocean or a roaring waterfall. Every day, you are kind, and at night you give me a song as my prayer to you, the living LORD God. You are my mighty rock.[c] Why have you forgotten me? Why must enemies mistreat me and make me sa...

0 in Share A federal judge on Friday ordered Hillary Clinton to answer questions in writing from a conservative legal advocacy group about her use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state. U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan issued the order as part of a long-running public records lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch. The judge's decision is only a partial victory for the group, which had sought to question the Democratic presidential nominee in person and under oath. The judge said Judicial Watch must submit its questions to Clinton by Oct. 14 and gave Clinton 30 days to respond — a timetable that could push Clinton's answers past the November presidential election unless Judicial Watch sends its questions earlier than mid-October.

Fact-checking Donald Trump’s speech to the Detroit Economic Club - The Washington Post In an effort to reset his troubled presidential campaign, Donald Trump gave a prepared speech to the Detroit Economic Club, an important venue for major economic addresses. Here’s a guide to 16 of the more fact-challenged assertions made by the GOP nominee. As is our practice, we do not award Pinocchios in speech round-ups. “Hillary Clinton short circuited again, to use a — now famous term — when she accidentally told the truth and said she wanted to raise taxes on the middle class.” This is ridiculously false — something that earned Trump  a “Pants on Fire”  from our friends at PolitiFact three days ago. It is appalling that it still turns up in a prepared speech. On Aug. 4, Clinton gave a speech in which the prepared text had this line: “We aren’t going to raise taxes on the middle class.” When Clinton delivered the speech, she dropped the “t” and so to some ears it might have sounde...

Two Benghazi Parents Sue Hillary Clinton for Wrongful Death, Defamation - NBC News The parents of two Americans killed in the 2012 terrorist attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya, filed a wrongful death lawsuit in federal court Monday against Hillary Clinton.

At least 60 people killed in suicide attack on Pakistani hospital - AOL A suicide bomb detonated Monday in the emergency room of a hospital in Quetta, Western Pakistan, has left at least 60 dead and 120 wounded, the  BBC reported.

Islamic State claimed responsibility on Sunday for an attack by a machete-wielding man in Belgium that left two female police officers seriously injured, the group's Amaq news agency said on Twitter. Shortly before the claim, Belgian prosecutors had identified the assailant as a 33-year-old Algerian, K.B., who had lived in Belgium since 2012, saying that he may have been inspired by terrorism. The attacker, who shouted "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest) during the assault on Saturday, was shot by police and died of his injuries. He was carrying a rucksack but no explosives or other weapons were found. "There are indications that the attack may have been inspired by a terrorist motive," the prosecutors said in a statement. "He is known to police for criminal acts, not for terrorism." Islamic State claims responsibility for machete attack in Belgium - AOL

Ir EDITORIAL: Iran’s $400 Million Payoff At a press conference Thursday, Obama remarkably explained, “The reason that we had to give them cash is precisely because we are so strict in maintaining sanctions and we do not have a banking relationship with Iran.” Really Mr. President? The whole point of sanctions is to prohibit and punish certain behavior. If you — especially you, Mr. President — do the precise thing that the sanctions prohibit, that is a strange way of being “so strict in maintaining” them. Now, the sanctions at issue exclude Iran from the U.S. financial system by, among other things, prohibiting Americans and financial institutions from engaging in currency transactions that involve Iran’s government. Contrary to the nuclear sanctions that Obama’s Iran deal (the “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” or JCPOA) attempts to undo, the sanctions pertinent here were imposed primarily as a result of Iran’s support for terrorism. That is significant. In pleading with Congress not...

Dominican Republic to help Haiti stage its elections? No way - DominicanToday.com The social scientist cautioned the Central Electoral Board (JCE) to let organizations such as the Organization of American States (OAS) be Haiti’s advisor on electoral issues. He note that if the Dominican government can offer some technical and technological support, it should do so through inter-American and regional bodies. "With great care and tact so it cannot be said that there’s some kind of meddling, I think bilateral relations have to be cared for and that’s a very sensitive issue." Opposition party slams the JCE Jesus Vasquez, secretary general opposition party (PRM) on Tuesday said the only thing which the Central Electoral Board can orient the Haitian authorities on is "how to prepare a fraud."

President Obama authorized the strikes after the United Nations-backed Libyan government made its first request for this type of aid, the Pentagon said. It marked the third round of U.S. strikes in Libya since November. "I don't want to predict the pace" of any future strikes, Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook told reporters at a news briefing. He denied the U.S. was leading from behind, describing the strikes as "providing military support for a partner on the ground." Fayez Serraj, the head of the U.N.-brokered presidency council, said in a televised statement that American warplanes attacked the ISIS bastion of Sirte, "causing major casualties," adding that no U.S. ground forces were deployed. The precision strikes targeted an ISIS tank and two vehicles, officials said.
