Nashville Mayor Megan Barry resigns, pleads guilty to theft following affair with security detail Posted: 06 Mar 2018 09:13 AM PST Nashville Mayor Megan Barry agreed to resign on Tuesday as part of a plea deal regarding a felony theft charge, about one month after admitting to an extramarital affair with her bodyguard. The Tennessee politician had initially planned to stay in office following the revelation that she had an intimate relationship with Sgt. Robert Forrest, but an ethics review and special committee's probe into misuse of funds led the Democrat to cede her role. The 54-year-old Democratic mayor has served in her municipal position since 2015, and news of her extramarital relationship comes after Barry lost her 22-year-old son, Max, to a drug overdose last July. |

McDonald's flips to fresh beef in 3,500 U.S. restaurants Posted: 06 Mar 2018 03:18 AM PST McDonald's Corp said on Tuesday that it had begun serving fresh beef Quarter Pounders and other premium burgers at about 3,500 restaurants in the United States, and most of its other U.S. locations will follow suit by May. The fresh beef expansion comes as McDonald's is improving food quality and increasing menu variety to counter competition from older rivals such as Wendy's Co as well as more premium chains like Chick-fil-A, In-N-Out and Shake Shack Inc. One year ago, McDonald's announced plans to sell some of its burgers made with fresh - rather than frozen - beef in the majority of its roughly 14,000 U.S. restaurants by mid-2018 to produce juicier burgers. |

Progressive Democrat Blasted By Her Own Party Advances In Texas Primary Posted: 06 Mar 2018 09:19 PM PST Laura Moser, the activist and writer who withstood the broadside from the House Democrats' campaign arm, emerged as one of the party's two potential nominees for Texas' 7th Congressional District. In a crowded Democratic field, none of the seven contenders in the Houston-area district received the 50-percent-plus-one needed to win outright. Moser now heads to a May 24 runoff election against corporate lawyer Lizzie Fletcher, who led the primary field, to determine which Democrat faces Rep. John Culberson, a nine-term Republican, in November's general election. |

The lawsuit, which Attorney General Jeff Sessions will formally announce on Wednesday, is the latest in a string of moves by the White House, Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security to combat local efforts to limit police cooperation with deportation. "The Department of Justice and the Trump administration are going to fight these unjust, unfair and unconstitutional policies that have been imposed on you," Sessions is expected to tell law enforcement officers during a speech on Wednesday, according to prepared remarks. |

Posted: 06 Mar 2018 09:44 AM PST You may have had a chuckle over recent news that the Nobel Peace Prize Committee had received a forged nomination for Donald Trump. Who, while campaigning for president, mused about withdrawing the US military commitments to South Korea and Japan and encouraging them to acquire nuclear weapons. This is the man whose off-the-reservation rhetoric at the United Nations about North Korea and its leader, Kim Jong-un, sent the rest of the world into paroxysms of anxiety and dread. |

Yo-Yo Ma Performs Private Concert For Siblings Rescued From Squalid Home Posted: 06 Mar 2018 02:01 PM PST Seven siblings who were rescued from a squalid Southern California home earlier this year received a special treat last week: a private performance by Yo-Yo Ma. The world-renowned cellist reportedly performed for seven of the 13 siblings at a hospital in Corona, California, on Friday.

Russian cargo plane crashes at Syria base, killing all 32 passengers Posted: 06 Mar 2018 06:15 AM PST A Russian transport plane crashed on landing at Russia's Hmeimim airbase in Syria, killing all 32 on board, the defence ministry said in a statement carried by RIA Novosti. The Defense Ministry says the An-26, with 26 passengers and six crew members onboard, crashed Tuesday 1,600 feet from the runway. "The reason for the crash according to preliminary information could have been a technical fault," the ministry added, saying the plane had not come under fire. Russia, a key ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad, leases a military base in Syria near the Mediterranean coast. Moscow began conducting air strikes in Syria in September 2015, and its intervention has swung the nearly seven-year conflict firmly in favour of Assad. The latest accident comes after a Sukhoi military jet crashed while trying to take off from Hmeimim in October last year, killing two crew. Russia's most recent officially acknowledged military loss in battle in Syria was last month when a pilot was killed after his plane was downed over Idlib province. Russia's official military losses in the war before the crash were 45. Moscow last month also said that five citizens, not officially affiliated with the Russian military, were likely killed in the strikes in eastern Syria - the first admission of non-military combat casualties. |
