OTTAWA, Ontario President Barack Obama and the leaders of Mexico and Canada pushed back forcefully on Wednesday against the isolationist and anti-immigrant sentiments that have roiled Britain and been championed by GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.
The threat of "lone wolf" acts of terrorism inspired by the Islamic State will persist in the West, a senior U.S. official said Tuesday, even as the extremist group loses battles and territory in the Middle East. Brett McGurk, the U.S. envoy to the anti-Islamic State coalition, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the Islamic State has always sought to strike the U.S. and other Western nations.
When FBI Director James Comey discussed on national television the massacre at an Orlando nightclub, he made an off-the-cuff policy decision not to speak the gunman's name.

Support for Donald Trump has plunged as he has alienated fellow Republicans and large majorities of voters overall in the course of a month of self-inflicted controversies, propelling Democrat Hillary Clinton to a double-digit lead nationally in a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. The survey finds sweeping unease with the presumptive Republican nominee's candidacy - from his incendiary rhetoric and values to his handling of both terrorism and his own business - foreshadowing that the November election could be a referendum on Trump more than anything else.
Law enforcement officials immediately suspected terrorism and adjusted their staging areas due to fears about an explosive device as they responded to reports of shots fired at a gay nightclub in Orlando, according to sheriff's office incident reports released Saturday. In the reports, Orange County Sheriff's Office deputies describe receiving limited information about an "active shooter" as they rushed to control the chaos outside Pulse on June 12 in what turned out to be the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
Saudi Arabia's official daily Okaz published an article titled "Ayatollah Obama - A Tehran Love Story," slamming President Barack Obama for going against traditional U.S. foreign policy by supporting Iran and abandoning the Middle East. In the article, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute , columnist Muhammad Al-Sa'id argues that the Islamic Republic is exploiting "romantic" Obama's naA ve affinity for revolutionary countries to realize its own nuclear aspirations.
The world's major economies on Friday suspended anti-money laundering measures against Iran for a year despite concerns that the Islamic Republic uses its financial sector to protect criminal enterprises and fund terrorist activity. The announcement is another sign of progress in Tehran's campaign to return to the global economy after last year's nuclear accord.
Her positions on subjects such as gay marriage, free-trade agreements, the Keystone XL pipeline, the Iraq War, the Assad regime in Syria, and the use of the term "radical Islam" all seem to hinge on what she perceives 51 percent of the public to believe on any given day. Such politicians believe truth is a relative construct.
To get 51 signatures on a dissent channel message is remarkable and suggests a very broad consensus at the working level responsible for implementing policy decisions, that the current [Syria] policy is failing and is destined to keep failing. The entire messiness of the Syrian conflict should be an object lesson repudiating all alleged moral measures that come before it.
The AntiDiplomatico interviews philosopher, Andre Vltchek: "Russia and China are forming an incredible defensive wall to protect humanity from Western terrorism." Andre Vltchek has become renowned in Italy for being the co-author, along with Noam Chomsky, of the famous book Western Terrorism .
So you'll forgive me for taking a layman's approach to what I feel is a very basic common sense piece of legislation that failed on the senate floor Monday. Maybe it's because I'm older and wiser that prevents me from wrapping my brain around why we can't pass a piece of legislation that would prevent a gun sale to a would-be terrorist.
The Congressional Black Caucus is demanding Fox News's Bill O'Reilly apologize to Rep. Jim Clyburn for saying he wanted to "slap" the Democrat for ignoring the role terrorism played in the Orlando massacre. Speaking Thursday on "Fox and Friends," Mr. O'Reilly criticized Mr. Clyburn for choosing to focus on gun control instead of the threat of radical Islam after a Muslim extremist gunned down 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando.
The entire purpose of my satirical piece demanding the immediate defunding of Planned Parenthood and reconsideration of the Supreme Court's gay marriage ruling "as a result of" the Orlando terrorist attack was to promote fact-based rationality in policymaking, even in the wake -- or especially in the wake -- of a terrible event. "Public policy should be crafted based on evidence and empiricism, ever mindful of the constitution, even when it's politically inconvenient.
Donald Trump says the United States admits Syrian refugees without checking their backgrounds and that Hillary Clinton wants to allow "radical Islamic terrorists to pour into our country." Neither is so, part of a pattern of exaggeration that strains the credibility of his argument since the Orlando nightclub shooting that the U.S. faces apocalyptic danger from Muslim immigrants.
Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee, which is frightening.We must make sure his hateful rhetoric does not even... Sign if you agree: Presidents do not stop working in the final year of their term. Neither should the Senate.
The Russian military on Sunday rejected the Pentagon's accusations that it had deliberately targeted U.S.-backed Syrian opposition forces, arguing the U.S. had failed to warn about their locations. Russian Defense Ministry spokesman, Maj.
Dear Editor: Americans are under attack by radical Islamic terrorists, call them ISIS or call them Al Qaeda, Americans are calling it "terrorist attacks." Ever since the massacre in Boston, and then San Bernardino, and now Orlando, Florida on 6/12, President Obama still refuses to call this enemy "Radical Islam" or "Islamic Terrorists" - he continues to carry the liberal banner that it's a "criminal" offense, or "hate crime."
Barack Obama has spent his presidency cultivating Islamists, particularly from the international Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates in the United States. As we saw this week, he chafes at the term "radical Islam" - as do his Islamist advisers.
