As Trump sets sights on Pennsylvania, Biden hits him as ‘divider in chief’ (Market Watch)
President Donald Trump is heading for a “Make America Great Again” rally in Pennsylvania on Monday night, aiming to pump up supporters in one of the states that clinched the White House for him just two days after Joe Biden attacked him there.
Trump’s Montoursville, Pa., event follows on the heels of Biden’s Philadelphia rally on Saturday, where the former vice president sought to promote himself as a uniter of the country even as he launched a broadside against Trump.
Speaking at an outdoor rally just steps from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Biden said “politics is pulling us apart. It’s ripping this country apart at the seams. Our politicians, our politics today, traffics in division, and our president is the divider in chief.” [Read More]
Coming home (Washington Examiner)
No matter where you lived in America on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, the story often begins with a sapphire sky filled with airy white clouds perfectly contrasted against the expansive blue, a picture-perfect backdrop shattered by the deadliest attack on American soil in the country’s history.
Nineteen men, trained by al Qaeda, boarded four passenger aircraft that morning, seeking to carry out a devastating coordinated attack aimed at symbols of American freedom: the World Trade Center, the Capitol, and the Pentagon. Three hit their target. Flight 93, the plane targeting the Capitol, crashed in an isolated field in Somerset, Pa., thanks to brave passengers who wrested control of the plane from the hijackers. More than 3,000 people lost their lives that day, 400 of whom were New York City’s first responders. [Read More]
A Montgomery developer has a plan to ease traffic on I-270: Build a monorail (The Washington Post)
Montgomery County developer Robert Eisinger says he has found a fast, reliable and cost-effective way to ease traffic on Interstate 270: Get tens of thousands of motorists traveling from the outer suburbs to switch to a monorail between Frederick and the Shady Grove Metro station.
Eisinger said he knows the word monorail conjures images of amusement park rides more suitable for ferrying passengers around Disney World than carrying commuters through the suburbs of the nation’s capital. [Read More]
U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe revealed in an interview Monday she will “probably never sing the national anthem again” weeks before the team is set to defend their World Cup title in France.
Rapinoe, who was the first white athlete to kneel during the national anthem before a sporting event following former NFL star Colin Kaepernick’s decision in 2016, revealed in a lengthy interview with Yahoo Sports the backlash she received over her choice to take a knee. [Read More]
South Bend, Ind., mayor Pete Buttigieg on Sunday declined to endorse any state-imposed limits on abortion, including those that take place in the third trimester, telling the audience at a Fox News town hall that the decision should always be left up to the mother.
Asked by Fox News’ Chris Wallace if he believed there should be “any limit on a woman’s right to have an abortion,” the upstart Democratic presidential contender argued that focusing on the stage of gestation at which a fetus can be aborted is misguided.
“No, I think the dialogue has gotten so caught up on where you draw the line, that we’ve gotten away from the fundamental question of who gets to draw the line, and I trust women to draw the line when it’s their life,” Buttigieg answered. [Read More]
