Posted: 09 Nov 2017 07:27 AM PST Understanding this relationship has important implications on how the United States can effectively deter North Korea. China Is Trying to Bribe North Korea into Good Behavior. As President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping meet in Beijing this week, not much about the North Korea crisis has changed since their Mar-a-Lago summit in April. |
So many politicians gave the same terrible response to the Roy Moore abuse allegations Posted: 09 Nov 2017 06:03 PM PST The Washington Post has published a detailed account of allegations that Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore initiated a sexual encounter and pursued a relationship with a 14-year-old girl when he was 32. As politicians — and most Republicans — responded to the shocking story of underage sexual abuse, a problematic theme emerged. Each statement relied on the phrase "if proven true," or a variation of that. That might sound logical on its face — the allegations against Moore, now 70, haven't been adjudicated in a court of law — but the phrase allows the commenting politician to have it both ways while relying on negative stereotypes about survivors of abuse. Sex abuse is objectively bad, "if proven true" seems to say, but let's not forget that these women could be lying. Here's an idea that you'd think we might have learned after the flood of disturbing allegations against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein — instead of relying on milquetoast statements that inherently blame victims, believe women. SEE ALSO: Everything you need to know about the cartoon villain who is Roy Moore The Post's report also details the accounts of three additional women who allege inappropriate relationships initiated by the former judge when they were teenagers. The Post's reporters wrote that they talked to 30 different sources before publishing the accounts. A statement from the Moore campaign called the allegations "completely false and a desperate political attack." Few public figures are taking a hard line against Moore and his alleged predatory behavior — most are instead opting for the most non-committal of condemnations while saving themselves a politically advantageous out. It's beyond pervasive — take a look at the tweets and statements that came in all day Thursday: From PENCE's press sect. on Moore: "The Vice President found the allegations in the story disturbing and believes, if true, this would disqualify anyone from serving in office." — Matthew Nussbaum (@MatthewNussbaum) November 10, 2017 JUST NOW: @lisamurkowski on WaPo Report on Roy Moore: "I'm horrified and if it's true he should step down immediately." — Frank Thorp V (@frankthorp) November 9, 2017 Sen. Toomey: "All I️ can say is, if there's a shred of truth to it, then he needs to step aside." — Lissandra Villa (@LissandraVilla) November 9, 2017 Sen. Jeff Flake says "of course" he's concerned about the Roy Moore story in WaPo. Asked if Moore should withdraw, Flake said: "if these prove true, yes." — Emma Loop (@LoopEmma) November 9, 2017 STATEMENT ON ROY MOORE: "If the deeply disturbing allegations in the Washington Post are true, Senator Hatch believes that Judge Moore should step aside immediately."Attributable to me (Matt Whitlock, Hatch Spokesman) — Matt Whitlock ���� (@mattdizwhitlock) November 9, 2017 If there is any truth at all to these horrific allegations, Roy Moore should immediately step aside as a Senate candidate. — Sen. Susan Collins (@SenatorCollins) November 9, 2017 The allegations in the Washington Post story are deeply disturbing, and if proven true, Judge Moore should immediately step aside — Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) November 9, 2017 Statement from Sen. Cruz on Roy Moore: "These are serious and troubling allegations. If they are true, Judge Moore should immediately withdraw. However, we need to know the truth, and Judge Moore has the right to respond to these accusations" — Abby Livingston (@TexasTribAbby) November 9, 2017 SEN. LEE, who endorsed Roy Moore, said he should step aside if allegations are true. — Marianna Sotomayor (@MariannaNBCNews) November 9, 2017 JUST IN: Sen @SteveDaines , who endorsed Roy Moore: "These are very serious allegations and if true he should step down" — Frank Thorp V (@frankthorp) November 9, 2017 Rob Portman on Roy Moore: "I think if what we read is true, and people are on the record so I assume it is, then he should step aside." — Dylan Scott (@dylanlscott) November 9, 2017 WH director of legislative affairs Marc Short on @CNNSitRoom says if accusations against Roy Moore are proven to be true he should step aside - but says process needs to play out — Cassie Spodak (@CassieSpodak) November 9, 2017 Senate Leadership Fund statement pic.twitter.com/IEBwMPDiH3 — Daniel Strauss (@DanielStrauss4) November 9, 2017 Some Democrats fell into the same problematic language: These sexual acts against underage girls by Roy Moore would upset God. Also, his alleged acts violate criminal law. If true, he needs to withdraw from the Senate race. https://t.co/LFm4ZNYeFn — Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) November 9, 2017 Today's allegations against Roy Moore are deeply troubling. If true, Moore should step aside from his campaign immediately. Alabama voters deserve a candidate they can trust and who represents decency. — Rep. Terri A. Sewell (@RepTerriSewell) November 9, 2017 To Republican Sen. John McCain's credit, he went all in and called for Moore to end his campaign, no qualifying statements needed. Others followed suit, like Rep. Dina Titus, a Democrat from Nevada. The allegations against Roy Moore are deeply disturbing and disqualifying. He should immediately step aside and allow the people of Alabama to elect a candidate they can be proud of. — John McCain (@SenJohnMcCain) November 9, 2017 Roy Moore always has been and always will be unqualified to serve. https://t.co/cI0Kx3jkyN — Dina Titus (@repdinatitus) November 9, 2017 The "if proven true" statements are bad, but other responses were, shockingly, far worse. Take this defense citing the Biblical story of Joseph and Mary to justify underage molestation. Wow. This defense of Roy Moore from AL state Auditor Jim Ziegler:"Take Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus."https://t.co/IhaWiCEFmq — Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) November 9, 2017 The same politician, Alabama state auditor Jim Zeigler, also made this ridiculous statement defending Moore: "It's much ado about very little." Alabama State Auditor Jim Zeigler, a Moore backer: "Even if you accept the Washington Post's report as being completely true, it's much ado about very little. " #ALSEN #alpolitics — Brian Lyman (@lyman_brian) November 9, 2017 Moore too posted about the article and blamed the "Obama-Clinton Machine's liberal media lapdogs" without outright denying any of the allegations. The Obama-Clinton Machine's liberal media lapdogs just launched the most vicious and nasty round of attacks against me I've EVER faced!We are are in the midst of a spiritual battle with those who want to silence our message. (1/4) #ALSen — Judge Roy Moore (@MooreSenate) November 9, 2017 Other terrible responses skirted around the issue by attacking the quality of the reporting and motivations of the Washington Post. Alabama Sec. of State John Merrill questions timing and source of allegations against Moore https://t.co/F2ib9oKi5a pic.twitter.com/bbrueHVWmI — Igor Bobic (@igorbobic) November 9, 2017 After a long pause, Alabama Bibb County Republican chairman Jerry Pow tells me he'd vote for Roy Moore even if Moore did commit a sex crime against a girl. "I would vote for Judge Moore because I wouldn't want to vote for Doug," he says. "I'm not saying I support what he did." — Daniel Dale (@ddale8) November 9, 2017 Still others went all in on the time-honored tradition of victim blaming. Alabama Geneva County GOP chairman Riley Seibenhener, who called me back, says he doesn't believe the allegations are true, but if they're true he won't support him - but, at the same time, it's not "forcible rape.""I know that 14-year-olds don't make good decisions," he adds. — Daniel Dale (@ddale8) November 10, 2017 Breitbart and Drudge Report were unsurprisingly reluctant to report straightforwardly about the allegations against Moore. Breitbart relied on some, um, creative, defenses, such as nitpicking about the alleged victims' ages and Moore's marital status at the time (single). In an interview on MSNBC the ridiculous defenses came pouring in. Breitbart editor says it's totally cool if Roy Moore preyed on teen girls... because he was single when he did ithttps://t.co/DvPUuciKIU via @shareblue — Caroline O.

A fundraising email sent shortly after the story published quoted the former judge as saying, "I refuse to stand down." Further, the statute of limitations for sexual abuse of a minor is three years in the state of Alabama. It's been 38 years. Moore's up for the Senate seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions in a special election in Alabama on Dec. 12.

We'll buy arms from Russia, Philippines' Duterte tells Putin Posted: 10 Nov 2017 04:20 AM PST Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte thanked Moscow on Friday for its "timely assistance" in defeating pro-Islamic State militants who took over a southern city for months, expressing his willingness to buy Russian weapons. "I want to build a strong armed forces and a strong police and the reason is very important for you to know that we are eyeing - we are buying arms from Russia this time," Duterte told Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Vietnam. The Philippines was to buy more than 20,000 assault rifles from the United States, but some senators, concerned with Duterte's human rights record and rising killings, blocked that sale. |

Texas church pastor wants to demolish building after shooting: official Posted: 09 Nov 2017 01:39 PM PST The pastor of the Texas church that was the scene of the United States' latest mass shooting wants to demolish the building to create a memorial for the victims, an official said Thursday. Pastor Frank Pomeroy, whose 14-year-old daughter Annabelle was among those killed Sunday at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs told national church governing officials of his wishes earlier this week. Resuming services in the same small rural church building would be an "emotional and physical impossibility," Robert Oldham of the Southern Baptist Convention told AFP. |

Posted: 10 Nov 2017 12:26 AM PST Donald Trump launched a blistering attack on "chronic trade abuses" on Friday, warning an audience of world leaders at a summit in Vietnam that he will always "put America first". The US president also resumed his tough talk on North Korea as he sought to rally Asia-Pacific nations into confronting the "twisted fantasies" of Pyongyang's young leader Kim Jong-un. Mr Trump was speaking to a gathering of CEOs at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in the city of Danang after arriving from a three-day visit to Beijing were he had softened his tone on trade and North Korea. U.S. President Donald Trump speaks at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit at the Aryana Convention Center in Danang, Vietnam, Credit: AP But in Vientnam Mr Trump said that America will not "be taken advantage of any longer" with unequal trade policies. "We can no longer tolerate these chronic trade abuses and we will not tolerate them," he said. He also struck a defiant tone towards Pyongyang, saying the region's future "must not be held hostage to a dictator's twisted fantasies of violent conquest and nuclear blackmail." Donald Trump's in Asia tour, in pictures During his China trip he called on the North to "make a deal", but also urged China and Russia to increase their efforts in reining in Pyongyang's nuclear weapon's programme. In Vietnam he reverted to the more direct language he used in South Korea earlier in his Asian tour when he spoke of the increasing threat to all nations from Pyongyang's military build-up. Melania Trump meets the pandas at Beijing Zoo 00:55 "Every single step the North Korea regime takes toward more weapons is a step it takes into greater and greater danger," he said. Meanwhile, Chinese president Xi Jinping, who is seeking to pitch Beijing as the centre of a new globalist order, told the summit that globalisation is an "irreversible historical trend". Confusion over Putin meeting The APEC meeting is also being attended by Russian leader Vladimir Putin, who was expected by some to meet with Mr Trump. But mixed messages from Washington and Moscow continued on Friday on the potential talks. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said as the US president arrived in Vietnam that a "scheduling conflict" meant the leaders would not be able to formally meet. Donald Trump boards Air Force One to depart for Vietnam from Beijing Airport Credit: Reuters Her comments came a day after secretary of state Rex Tillerson said there was no reason for talks to take place when differences between Washington and Moscow exist over Syria and Ukraine. The White House said it was still possible that Mr Trump could hold an unofficial meeting with his Russian counterpart on the sidelines of the APEC summit, or later when both men will be in the Philippines. And the Kremlin said on Friday that Mr Putin will meet Mr Trump "one way or another". Mr Trump's presidency has been dogged by allegations that his election campaign colluded with Russia to help him get into the White House. An investigation into the matter led by Robert Mueller, the special counsel, recently brought criminal charges against three former advisers to Mr Trump. Chinese media upbeat over 'state visit plus' The US president flew to Vietnam from China, where he made a three-day visit which saw him praising Mr Xi. In one of his final Tweets from the Chinese capital he described his trip as being "very productive" and described Mr Xi as "highly respected". China deploys a soldier to watch Donald Trump's feet in case he fell on the stairs after talks with Xi Jinping pic.twitter.com/5aNOLw1YsA— Neil Connor (@neilaconnor) November 9, 2017 Chinese state media was upbeat on what was billed as a 'state visit plus' as Mr Trump flew to Vietnam without his wife, who was stayed in Beijing to visit a zoo and the Great Wall. The Global Times newspaper said Mr Trump was changing his views on China. He had "softening his tone" on trade and had "gradually learned that Beijing is indeed making selfless contributions" towards confronting Pyongyang, it said. Trump all smiles on 'positive' visit to China 01:24 The China Daily said that while differences that had been "pestering bilateral ties" had not "instantly disappeared," it was positive on "the constructive approach to these issues the two leaders demonstrated." After his visit to Vietnam, Mr Trump will on Saturday head to Manila for the East Asia Summit and a meeting with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Mr Trump has also visited Japan during his five-nation 11 day tour of Asia. |

Puppy thieves return dog to little girl, after seemingly feeling bad about the whole thing Posted: 09 Nov 2017 05:36 PM PST An eight-week-old puppy that was stolen from a house in Melbourne, Australia, has been returned to a "devastated" family after local police launched a public appeal. A number of items including a laptop, an iPad and jewellery were also stolen from the home on Monday. SEE ALSO: Sony's robot dog is back and better than ever Yet it was the missing labrador, Sasha, that distressed the family most — especially the daughter of the dog's owner, four-year-old Maia. "We've only had her a week, but she's part of the family. She was my daughter's best friend, and those two spent each night falling asleep together in the dog bed," Sasha's owner, Ryan Hood, told Today. Detectives are investigating after an 8-week-old puppy was stolen during a burglary in Croydon Hills on Monday https://t.co/dwhGC4VuJO pic.twitter.com/i0f7mpfid4 — Victoria Police (@VictoriaPolice) November 7, 2017 Police failed to find the dog anywhere in the home or in the neighbourhood, and a investigation was launched. But on Thursday, Sasha mysteriously returned to the family's home. Hood's wife woke up to make a coffee, when she noticed a moving figure by the kennel. It turned out to be their missing dog. "We think that whoever took her had either a conscience, or got scared and dropped her over the fence ... we don't care to be honest. We're happy to have her back," Hood told Today on Thursday. Hood said his daughter, Maia, was "ecstatic" as was the dog. The dog appeared to be unharmed and in good health, although has a fascination with shoes now. None of the other stolen items were returned, and Victoria Police said it'll still be investigating the burglary. Through all the bad, fortunately there's still a little bit of good left in this world. Labrador Sasha is home! What a great start to the day for this family, reuniting with their stolen pup.
