Dwbk Maduro declared winner in Venezuela s presidential election, opposition contests results Local election officials and lawmakers testified before the House Administration Committee on Wednesday on efforts to subvert the integrity of U.S. elections.Watch the hearing in the video player above.Federal officials said the 2020 presidential election was the most secure in American history, but there were nevertheless myriad efforts to challenge results in several states where Joe Biden was declared the winner.There is now movement on both the left and right to enact legislation related to voting access, including a sweeping bill passed by the House of Representatives in June that would expand federal voting rights. That bill is unlikely to pass the Senate with the filibuster in place.Ken Cuccinelli, formerly A ttorney General of Virginia and a Trump administration official, testified against federal measures to protect voting rights, arguing that Americans will only have conf idence in the system if the federal government do esnt force them to eliminate basic rules of fair and accurate elections.Other witnesses were brought in to defend the integrity of the 2020 election, including local officials from Maricopa County and Detroit, and a senior counsel with the Brennan Center for Justice is expected to testify about the threats that election officials endured last year. Reps. Burgess Owens, R-Utah, John Sarbanes, D-Md., and Nikema Williams, D-Ga., also testified before the House committee.

The organization also proposed an open competition category. This is not saying that people are encouraged to transition by the age of 12. Its what the scientists are saying, that if you transition after the start of puberty, you have an advantage, which is unfair, James Pearce, who is the spokesperson fo r FINA president Husain Al-Musallam, told The Associated Press. Theyre not saying everyone should transition by age 11, thats ridiculous. You cant transition by that age in most countries and hopefully you wouldnt be encouraged to. Basically, what theyre saying is that it is not feasible for people who have transitioned to compete without having an advantage.

Gmub Video Series Sheds Light on Indie Side of Alaska Today in the Morning Line:Plagiarism report dampens Walshs election prospectsLawmak ers still divided on border legislationDont discount third-party candidatesWalsh confronts plagiarism charges: Sen. John Walsh already faced long odds to winning a full six-year term in November, and that was before the New York Times reported Wednesday that the Montana Democrat plagiarized substantial portions of his final thesis at the U.S. Army War College. The Times Jonathan Martin writes: An examination of the final paper required for Mr. Walshs masters degree from the United States Army War College indicates the senator appropriated at least a quarter of his thesis on American Middle East policy from other authors works, with no attribution. The six conclusions put forward in the 14-page thesis, Martin adds, are taken nearly word-for-word without attribution from a Carnegie Endowment for International Peace document. The Times created an interactive graphic that details the sections of the paper where Walsh used passages either without attribution, or with improper sourcing. Walsh told the Associated Press Thursday his failure to properly attribute parts of his thesis was an unintentional mistake caused in part by post-traumatic stress disorder from his service in Iraq. I don ;t want to blame my mistake on PTSD, but I do want to say it may have been a factor, Walsh said. My head was not in a place very conducive to a classroom and an academic environment.

Coij Man arrested for attempting to lure 7-year-old girl with puppy outside of Publix TWIN LAKES, Colo. -- Riley Tinkham has done something very special with his dad s prized Porsche.He inherited the 1982 model when his father, Richard, died of complications from cancer in 2016. The car had been sitting in a garage for several years, so Tinkhamfixed it up.Earlier this summer he tookthe car and parkedit in front of his housein Twin Lakes, Colorado. He adorned it with a couple of inspirational quotes, one on each side of the Porsche.He borrowed one of themfrom Mark Twain. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catchthe trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. He said the second quote is from Billy Cox, a motivational speaker. Life will only change when you become more committed to your drea ms than your comfort zone. I think that s a really poignant quote today, Tinkham said, with how many comforts we have in life, how much technology we have. Everything is easier than it s ever been. After seeing the quotes, Tinkham s friend, Bob Dalzell, who operates a coffee shop on wheels called Percolated Peaks, suggested that he leave a magic marker out for others to add their own inspiration.So he did. Not all who wander are lost, one woman wrote. Live life, have fun, kick ass, a man wrote.

Rero Virus misinformation flourishes in online protest groups SCRANTON, Pa. AP 鈥?President Joe Biden on Tuesday made a nostalgic return to the house where he grew up in working-class Scranton, kicking off a multi-day swing through Pennsylvania where he called for higher taxes on the rich and tried to cast Donald Trump as an out-of-touch elitist 鈥?part of an attempt to blunt the populist appeal of his predecessors comeback bid.W atch Biden remarks in the player above.Biden appeared to savor his trip down memory lane, lingering longer than expected at his childhood home. An American flag waved softly in the wind on the front porch as neighbors crowded the nearby sidewalk under flowering trees and a pale blue sky. The president later posed for photos with children, some wearing school uniforms, in the backyard.Biden is looking to gain groun d in a key swing state while his opponent spends much of the week in a New York City courtroom for his first criminal trial. A city of roughly 75,000, the president used Scranton to argue that getting rich in America is fine, but should come with heftier tax bills. He dismissed Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee and a billionaire, as a tool of wealthy interests.Its all aimed at reframing the conversation around the economy, which has left many Americans feeling sour about their financial situations at a time of stubborn inflation and elevated interest rates despite low unemployment.
