The context is that republicans need a net gain of six seats in order to win control of the u. S. Senate. And move Mitch Mcconnell up the ladder from minority leader to majority leader republicans control of the house is not in jeopardy in these elections barring some act of god, and republicans cannot dislodge president obama from the white house in this election, but they really can try to win the senate, that is the big enchilada at stake this year it will have huge consequences for the country and for the rest of the obama presidency. Republicans have been focussed on the senate singularly. They have potential ways to gain the six seats they need in order to take over the senate. The republicans do appear at least the odds look like they will. They appear to be on the way to flipping senate seats from blue to red in the three states that are marked on this map right here. West virginia, south dakota and montana. Nothings set in spoken. Thats the way the odds look right now. Republi
Resignation telling Bloomberg News in part, quote, i think its in the best interest of the secret service and the American Public if i step down. Congress has lost confidence in my ability to run the agency. The media has made it clear that this is what they expected. Officials say president obama lost faith after learning he shared an elevator last month at the cdc with an armed man with a criminal record. Pearson only told president obama moments before it was actually reported. I can tell you that the white house first learned of that incident yesterday afternoon shortly before it was publicry reported by a news organization. She did not tell him about that, or the agency did not tell the white house about that. You didnt know about it until yesterday. Until shortly before it was report publicly. Over the last several days weve seen recent reports raising questions about the performance of the agency. The president concluded that new leadership of that agency was required. Lets get
For sure is what this militarized group says they are showing in these images and what some terrorists analyst groups say about it. But what they say theyre showing here is the remains o of a Syrian Military jet, which isis says it shot down over syria. One of the groups that monitors people like this, they say that their analysis indicates that the type of plane isis shot down and that youre seeing the wreckage of here is one of these. Its a variant on a russianorigin mig fighter jet. Russia has been the main arms supplier to syria for decades. It would make sense at one level that if it was a Syrian Military jet, it would be a russianorigin aircraft like this. That said, the footage that isis posted on line today, it does show, as you can see here, it shows a lot of Component Parts with instructions written on them, apparently in english.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to weekends with alex witt. Good to be with you this afternoon. We begin with florida, which is implementing a new policy for Health Care Workers returning from ebolastricken countries. They must admit to twice daily Health Evaluations for 21 days. Governor rick scott says four people have come back to florida from the outbreak zone already. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie defended his states mandatory quarantine order just back from the region. The fact of the matter is that we i dont believe, when youre dealing with something as serious as this that we can count on a voluntary system. This is governments job. If anything else, the governments job is to protect the safety and health of our citizens. And so, weve taken this action and i absolutely have no second thoughts about it. Meanwhile, the fiancee of dr. Craig spencer is out of the hospital where she was quarantined. She returned home where she will stay until november 14th. She is showing no symptoms.
Congratulations to the true winner in the girls 400-meter at the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) State Championship Meet in Tacoma: Lauren Matthew, of the West Valley School …
