Socialist Nut Peggy Flanagan Wins Her Primary in Minnesota

Peggy Flanagan, the Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, has been nominated by the Democrats as their candidate for the United States Senate race. A socialist, Flanagan has drawn the attention of Republicans who are criticizing her affiliations with leftist groups and her stance on issues like the transgender agenda and fossil fuels. In a discussion with political expert Dustin Grage the focus is on how Republicans should approach their campaign against Flanagan. Grage suggests that tying her to figures like Bernie Sanders and leftist organizations might be effective, given her connections to these groups. The conversation also touches on internal Democratic polling that indicates a close race, making Minnesota a key battleground in the fight for Senate control.

Iran Says No Progress On Reviving Interim Peace Deal With U.S.

DUBAI, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Iran and the United States remain at loggerheads over efforts to agree a permanent end to the war in the Gulf, according to a senior Iranian source who said there had been no progress in talks to revive the interim deal agreed in June and define a timeframe to implement it. The comments were a further blow to hopes of a swift resolution to the crisis, following attacks on shipping in the region on Tuesday that pushed oil prices higher. The deal agreed in June declared an "immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts", but quickly unravelled, with U.S. President Donald Trump saying it was "over" on July 7 and Iran's foreign ministry declaring it "suspended" a week later. The U.S. accuses Iran of failing to honour an agreement under the deal to reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz shipping route. Tehran says Washington has reneged on its commitments, including lifting a blockade of Iranian ports and releasing frozen Iranian assets. "One of the issues that is being discussed via mediators is the U.S. returning to the interim agreement and defining a timeframe for implementing the commitments. There has been absolutely no progress on this issue," the Iranian source said. There was no immediate comment from Washington. Thousands of people have been killed in the conflict, mainly in Iran and Lebanon, since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran on February 28. Iran has struck U.S. assets and infrastructure in countries including Oman, Jordan, Kuwait, Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. BOTH SIDES STEP UP RHETORIC The June interim ceasefire agreement set a 60-day period, extendable by mutual consent, within which Iran and the U.S. were expected to reach a final deal limiting Tehran's nuclear programme and lifting U.S. sanctions. The Iranian source dismissed a report on Wednesday from Turkey's Anadolu news agency that quoted Pakistani government sources as saying they had agreed to extend that 60-day period. "There is no talk of an extension because, from Iran’s perspective, there is no period that began and therefore nothing to extend. The United States violated the interim agreement 48 hours after it was reached and withdrew from it a few days later," the source told Reuters. Both Iran and the United States have stepped up rhetoric in the past two days. Iran's top security official, Mohsen Rezaei, said on Tuesday that the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed unless the U.S. accepted Iran's conditions to end the war. That followed a new demand from Trump on Monday that Iran should pay compensation for people killed in 50 years of wars, attacks and protests. Throughout the conflict, Trump has alternated between threats of escalation and claims that a peace deal is imminent. Speaking to reporters after a visit to Ohio on Tuesday, Trump said: "Iran is going fine, going just absolutely fine." "We have a country that has been the bully of the Middle East for 50 years, really 51 if you think about it ... and they're no longer the bully of the Middle East." ATTACKS ON SHIPPING The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman and the entrance to the Gulf, handled a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas flow before the war. Benchmark Brent crude futures have surged since the start of the war in February, hitting a peak of $126 a barrel, roughly 75% above pre-war levels, with choppy trade reflecting concerns over disruptions to Gulf oil supplies and shifting signals on peace talks. Those concerns were compounded by separate attacks on shipping on Tuesday. At the southern end of the Red Sea, four crew members were killed in an attack by Iran-backed Houthis on a small cargo ship in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait on Tuesday, the first deadly strike on shipping by the group since the start of the war. The U.S. military, meanwhile, said a U.S. Navy MH-60 helicopter fired two Hellfire missiles to disable the steering gear of a Panama-flagged cargo ship. The ship ignored repeated warnings to stop violating a naval blockade on Iranian ports, the U.S. Central Command said. Maritime sources told Reuters the vessel was hit off Pakistan while sailing into the Gulf of Oman. Brent futures rose 35 cents, or 0.4%, to $89.26 a barrel on Wednesday, heading for a sixth day of gains.

Reporter Aboard Trump’s Decoy Flight Describes Secret Security Operation

New details are emerging about President Donald Trump’s secret military flight from Turkey last month, as a reporter who was aboard the plane Trump was originally expected to use describes how the extraordinary security operation unfolded. Reuters White House correspondent Gram Slattery was traveling with the press corps aboard the older Air Force One aircraft after the NATO summit in Ankara. Reporters and some White House staff initially believed the president was traveling with them, unaware that Trump had secretly been transferred to another aircraft amid concerns over an Iranian assassination threat. Trump had publicly boarded Air Force One before being covertly moved from the aircraft in an airport catering truck. He was then transferred to a smaller Air Force C-32A military jet that carried him to Britain. Slattery described the unusual experience of traveling aboard what effectively became a decoy flight while the president’s actual location was kept secret as part of the security operation. The White House has said it uses every tool available to protect the president from threats. Trump has since said he followed the Secret Service’s instructions during the operation.

Judge Blocks Trump Mail Voting Order Ahead Of Midterms

A federal judge has blocked part of President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at tightening mail-in voting rules ahead of this year’s midterm elections. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston granted a preliminary injunction preventing the U.S. Postal Service from implementing provisions that would have given it a central role in determining which voters could receive mail ballots. The Trump administration has argued the changes are intended to strengthen election integrity and prevent ineligible voting. Voting rights groups challenged the order, arguing that the Constitution gives states and Congress — rather than the president — authority over election rules. Talwani sided with the challengers, finding that Congress has not given the Postal Service authority to control mail-in voting. The ruling prevents the disputed provisions from taking effect as the legal battle continues ahead of November’s midterms.

Trump Says Secret Flight May Have Put Him at ‘Greater Risk’

President Donald Trump is speaking publicly about the extraordinary security operation that saw him secretly switch planes in Turkey last month amid an Iranian assassination threat. Trump said he followed the direction of the Secret Service and military when he was moved off Air Force One and transferred to a smaller military aircraft following the NATO summit in Ankara. The president and several close aides were reportedly moved between the aircraft using an airport catering truck as part of an effort to conceal his movements. But Trump says he believes the switch may actually have put him in greater danger. “I think actually the plane that I flew on was at greater risk,” Trump told reporters, arguing that anyone aware of the security operation may have been more likely to target the alternate aircraft. Trump said he did not ask many questions about the reported Iranian threat and instead followed the recommendations of his security team. The operation remained secret until reports about it emerged this week.

Thailand Suspends New Gun Permits After Deadly Shootings

Thailand is moving to tighten its gun laws following two deadly shootings near Bangkok in less than a week, including a school attack that killed at least eight people. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has ordered an immediate review of the country’s firearm regulations, including a suspension of new permits to purchase guns and a review of existing permits. The government also plans to intensify its crackdown on illegally owned firearms. The action follows Friday’s shooting at Debsirin Nonthaburi School, where a 14-year-old student killed his grandparents before opening fire at the school. At least eight people were killed and more than 20 were wounded before the teenager apparently took his own life. Three days later, a former lawmaker was arrested following another shooting at a government office in Nonthaburi province that left one person dead and another injured. The prime minister has directed the Interior Ministry to propose changes to Thailand’s gun laws within 60 days. The government says the reforms are expected to improve firearm tracking, tighten controls on gun sales and increase penalties for violations. Thailand has one of Asia’s highest rates of civilian gun ownership despite relatively strict licensing requirements. Government officials say their broader goal is to reduce the presence of firearms in everyday life and improve public safety.

ICE Plans To Equip Officers With Electric-Shock Gloves

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers could soon be equipped with specialized gloves capable of delivering painful electric shocks as the agency expands the equipment available to officers during physical encounters. The Department of Homeland Security says ICE plans to spend up to $20 million to purchase thousands of devices known as the G.L.O.V.E., or Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter. The equipment is designed to deliver a low-voltage electrical shock intended to gain compliance from combative individuals and help officers de-escalate encounters. According to a federal notice, ICE expects to purchase the devices by March. The gloves are manufactured by Kentucky-based Compliant Technologies and have previously been used by some law enforcement agencies and correctional facilities. The planned purchase comes as the Trump administration continues expanding immigration enforcement operations nationwide. ICE has also been moving to equip more of its officers with body-worn cameras as the agency increases arrests and deportation efforts.

Iran Says No Progress On Reviving Interim Peace Deal With U.S.

DUBAI, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Iran and the United States remain at loggerheads over efforts to agree a permanent end to the war in the Gulf, according to a senior Iranian source who said there had been no progress in talks to revive the interim deal agreed in June and define a timeframe to implement it.
