Here are a few international, national and Virginia news headlines, political and otherwise, for Saturday, November 14. Also see President Obama’s statement on the vicious attacks on Paris. Bottom line: nous sommes avec Paris, La Ville Lumière.
- Hollande: Paris attacks an ‘act of war’ by Islamic State
- 120 dead in Paris attacks, worst since WWII (So horrible. Also, assuming it’s ISIL, it’s further evidence that this heinous group has global reach, which means we’re going to have to really step up our attacks against it with the aim of destroying it.)
- As Paris carnage unfolds, conservatives lash out at Obama, immigrants and college students (And check out the nasty, insane crap E.W. Jackson – the 2013 Republican nominee for Virginia LG, I’d remind everyone – has to say…))
- Supreme Court takes up major challenge to abortion restrictions
- Abortion, Back at the Supreme Court (“The question for the court is whether abortion will remain a safe and legal choice for all women, as the court has mandated under the Constitution for more than four decades.”)
- Why 2016 could be shattering for Republicans
- Carson’s real scandal is his ignorance (Utterly clueless.)
- The Biggest Difference Between Clintons’ and Sanders’ Policies Isn’t Their Substance (“It’s how they’d try to enact them.”)
- The real reason George Will is fuming at Bill O’Reilly: The Fox Newser told the truth about Ronald Reagan (“Were that to happen, Will is right: Reagan’s reputation would be destroyed and modern conservatism, as an extension of Reagan’s philosophy and a model of prosperity, would be thoroughly discredited.”)
- With just three on stage, Democratic debate moderator plans to dive deep
- Va. House’s top Democrat steps down from leadership role, then goes back
- Supreme Court takes up Virginia redistricting case
- McAuliffe making a trade mission to India and the Middle East
- Cantor talks politics at UVa
- More than 11,000 school staff members are ‘missing’ from Virginia schools
- Insurers say hospital merger in far southwest Virginia would drive up costs
- Richmonder in Paris: ‘So sad for this lovely city’
- Ex-officer in Geer shooting wants trial out of Fairfax County
- D.C. area forecast: Cool and still gusty today, then warming back up
