 Washingtonmdash; The U.S. ambassador to Russia met with detained Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich in a Moscow prison on Monday, their second such meeting since Gershkovich was arrested in March on espionage charges.The visit by Ambass stanley cups ador Lynne Tracey comes amid protests by the U. stanley drinking cup S. that diplomatic officials have been denied access by Russian authorities to meet with him at the capital s notorious Lefortovo prison, where he is being held.Gershkovich, the U.S. government and the Wall Street Journal have strongly denied the espionage charges, the first against an American reporter in Russia since the Cold War. Tracy first met with Gershkovich on April 17, more than two weeks after his arrest.                                         Ambassador Tracy reports that Mr. Gershkovich is in good health and remains strong, despite his circumstances,  a State Department spokesperson told CBS News.  U.S. Embassy officials will continue to provide all appropriate support to Mr. Gershkovich and his family, and we expect Russian authorities to provide continued consular access. Roger Carstens, the special presidential envoy for hostage affairs at the State Department, said last week that Tracy saw Gersh stanley cup kovich at a recent hearing where hisdetention was extended another 90 days. But U.S. officials haven t been able to talk with him in weeks because the Russians have declined to provide consular access, he said.         She had the chance to lay eyes on him,  Carstens told NBC New Fooq Obama: Leakers will  suffer consequences
 This story was written by Jack Garigliano, Badger HeraldIn every election, candidates promise to fight for the average citizen, John Q. Public. Candidates from around the world pledge to fight for the politically powerless, for he who has no voice in the course stanley cups  of public policy. The Germans call this figure Otto Normalburger, the Russians call him Ivan Ivanovich and the British call him Joe Bloggs. Here in the United States, Republicans John McCain and Sarah Palin continually invoke the name of Joe Six-Pack, and place all their hopes of winning the election this Tuesday on him. However, their dependence on Joe Six-Pack is outdated, obsolete and bound to fail stanley thermos mug .So who is Joe Six-Pack         Joe Six-Pack is an abstraction and a stereotype, but very real to the Republican ticket. According to McCain and Palin, Joe Six-Pack is a no stanley travel mug rmal, everyday American. Joe lives in a small town in the heartland of America. Every morning he wakes up and goes to his nine-to-five job at the factory or the office. He works hard at his job, knowing his family depends on him to earn the food on their table and the roof over their heads. Every evening, Joe punches out and goes home. Weary from a hard day of work, he sits back, flips the TV to SportsCenter and enjoys a beer or two. Or six.                                                McCain and Palin tell us constantly Joe Six-Pack is furious at the big-city coastal elites.

  CBS News  With the presidential campaign having become focused on Medicare and tax returns in recent days, a group backing Mitt Romney has launched a massive ad buy to draw attention to what polls show is the top issue to voters: The economy. Who can turn around America s economy   an announcer says in the spot before asserting that Mitt Romney s private sector experience created  thousands of jobs.  The narrator then says President Obama  wasted $800 billion on a failed stimulus and the jobless rate went up. The super PAC Restore Our Future is spending $10.5 million, its largest advertising buy, on the ads ahead of the Republican conven stanley trinkflaschen tion next week. The ad will be seen in 11 swing states -- Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hamps gourde stanley hire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin -- starting tomorrow.                                        In an apparent reference to Romney s tenure as Massachusetts governor, the narrator says in the spot, stanley thermoskannen   Romney cut spending and balanced budgets without raising taxes.  There is debate on this point: As governor, Romney raised fees and closed some tax loopholes to fill a $700 million budget gap. Restore Our Future has spent $70 million so far this campaign, most of it on Republican primary attacks on Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich. Since Romney clinched the nomination, the pro-Romney super PAC has spent $18 million targeting the president through June, according to the Center for Response Politics.

 Carl Icahn says he s investing $150 million to start a super Pac to promote corporate tax reform.In a letter sent to members of Congress Wednesday, the billionaire investor said lawmakers need to be held accoun stanley taza table for gridlock that he says is keeping Congress from passing legislation to  immediately stop so many of our great companies from leaving our country. The culprit are  corporate tax inversions,  which have U.S. companies merging with, or being purchased by, foreign companies, said the financier, who has been touted by Republican front-runner Donald Trump as a potential Treasury Secretary or other emissary in a Trump administration.                                        The money Icahn is committing  will be more than enough to make voters fully aware of the horrible consequences that will ensue if Congress fails to pass legislation. The problem, he argues, can be solved by passing international tax reform that is outlined in bipartisan legislation to fund U.S. highways.                                                                 stanley cup       ponent--type-recirculation .item:nth-child 5          display: none;             inline-recirc-item--id-8f4421ea-d580-4c0f-bccd-8c189782d613,  right-rail-recirc-item--id-8f4421ea-d580-4c0f-bccd-8c189782d613         display: none;             inline-recirc-item- stanley cup -id-8f4421ea-d580-4c0f-bccd-8c189782d613 ~ .item:nth-child 5          display: block;          In:          Donald Trump            Kate Gibson                          Pgov DOJ watchdog reveals it has recovered missing FBI text messages

 WASHINGTON -- With his political future tied irrevocably to President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden is still working to preserve his own distinct identity as he contemplates a third presidential run in 2016.With nearly four years left in Obama s second term, it would be untoward for Biden to be openly self-promotional, and his a stanley cup dvisers say he s focused on his current job. Still, with the jockeying for 2016 nominations already well under way, there s an advantage to staying part of the conversation.

 By the time the polls opened on Election Day, baseless claims of voter fraud had been building on social media for months, fueling doubts about the integrity of the election.Posts proliferated o stanley taza n X and other platforms pointing to hiccups like technical issues with voting ma stanley uk chi stanley france nes, power outages and spelling errors on ballots as examples of a supposedly brewing conspiracy. And at 4:30 p.m. on Election Day, former President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that there was  a lot of talk about massive cheating  in Pennsylvania mdash; which officials said had  no factual basis whatsoever. But as the votes were tallied and it became clear that Trump was on his way to a decisive victory, the deluge of posts questioning the integrity of the election fell to a trickle, researchers say.                                         I think this shows that these narratives are pushed when they serve a purpose, and they are stage setting often for efforts to dispute unfavorable results,  said Max Read, a senior researcher at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue.  And then once that stage setting and those claims are no longer needed, they re not pushed anymore. The shift was stark in Elon Musk s  Election Integrity Community,  a group of nearly 65,000 started by the platform owner s political action committee encouraging members to report  voter fraud or irregularities.         The group had already become a repository for speculation and unfounded rumors before Election Day.

Christie said  a lot of people  are afraid of the former president and afraid that any negative comments about him could result in them losing support from voters.        Christie, who announced he is running for the Republican nomination for president earlier this month, said he is not afraid because he has known Trump for 22 years and Trump is a  paper tiger.  Oczv Ariz.

 If you ve ever wondered how U.S. counterterrorism policy would differ if former Gov. Sarah Palin, R-A stanley cup laska, were president, you now have at least part of your answer. During stanley mug  a speech at the National Rifle Association s annual convention on Saturday, Palin, also the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, criticized President Obama s administration for treating suspected terrorists too gingerly.
