“Led Zeppelin are gods among men, and Aisling Cowan in their queen.”

In May of 1971, CREEM magazine’s journalist: Oliver Thorne set out to try and discern just who Aisling Cowan was, the elusive female guitarist of the intrepid LZ. Here is his interview and cover of LZ’s performance in Usher Hall, Edinburgh, Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

(OBVIOUSLY ALL OF THIS ISNT REAL FOR LEGAL REASONS) I hope you guys like it though. Both Aisling and Oliver are my OCs that I have created for the story I have been writing known as “Forest of Time”. In which a girl from the twenty first century gets pulled back into 1969 by the Seelie Court of Fae. She get sucked into the world of rock n roll when she meets Jimmy Page by chance. Or not👀. Strange magick is afoot. She changes history on accident and becomes a part of LZ, for good or worse. I haven’t written this specific part of the story yet. But I couldn’t resist creating just how much Aisling changes history. Enjoy!

Here is the link to my story if you’re interested!: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42940200/chapters/107881455

I really flexed my understanding of newspapers and i love CREEM, so ofc I had to make an alternate universe version of the magazine to fit my AU of Zeppelin! Cheers and Dark Tidings.🎸👹 (this may be the best thing ive ever made)

“The shooter was sending us a message about the power of love and the adverse consequences of the frustration of his need.”

Three of the deadliest mass shooting incidents to happen on Valentine’s Day.

Frederick Cowan’s first day back from a two-week suspension was days past when he arrived at the Neptune Worldwide Moving Company in New Rochelle, New York on February 14, 1977. The 33-year-old had no intention of returning to work, and instead, stalked through the building with a Saco HK-41 .308-caliber rifle, two .45-caliber pistols and an additional pair of 9mm pistols, and killed five coworkers. The first responding officer was met with several bullets as he exited his vehicle and died immediately. Cowan then engaged the following officers in a day-long siege before he committed suicide.

On February 14, 2008, the final act in 27-year-old Steven Kazmierczak’s life unfolded on the auditorium stage of Cole Hall at Northern Illinois University’s Dekalb campus. Bursting through the door with a Remington Sportsman 48 12-gauge shotgun, he fired directly into the students attending lecture, then took aim at the professor. He switched to a Glock 19 9mm pistol once the shotgun rounds were expended and continued firing, as he moved up and down the aisle. Five people lay dead when he once again found his place on stage and took his own life.

Inside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School the afternoon of February 14, 2018, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz warned “something bad is about to happen,” as he encountered a student while removing the Smith & Wesson MP-15 rifle from its case. Cruz proceeded to open fire through each of the three floors in Building 12, killing three faculty members and 14 students without ever entering a classroom. He then managed to blend in with fleeing students and was apprehended over an hour later.

Keto, gut health and fasting are all the rage. Are they worth all the hype? – San Francisco Chronicle

As January nears its conclusion, how are you doing with your New Year’s health resolutions? How’s your willpower holding up on that keto diet? Are those probiotic supplements making your gut happy?

These new and shiny health trends have skyrocketed in popularity. Celebrities sing the praises of stunt diets and esoteric supplements. Intermittent fasting, it seems, has become big with the local tech bro scene.

Me, I’ve never been one for resolutions, especially the dietary kind, because, hey, I work in food. (I also don’t like other people telling me what I should and shouldn’t eat.)

That said, for a few weeks now, I’ve been following an anti-inflammatory diet. Currently I am avoiding booze, bread, pasta and processed sugar; basically, all of the tasty things that make life fun. The thing is, I’m actually feeling better. I’m not certain of the reason, but my joints seem to be aching less, I’m sleeping better and have more energy. Still, I miss doughnuts.

When it comes down to it, we all want to feel better, and what we put in our bodies (or don’t) is a big part of that. However, making heads or tails of these diet and health trends can be mind-boggling.

I recently spoke with Danica Cowan, M.S./R.D., a registered dietitian and nutritionist at UCSF’s Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, to learn more about these trends — what they are, what works and what is plain old marketing hooey.

The ketogenic diet

Probably the highest profile diet right now is the ketogenic diet, or keto for short. By consuming foods that are high in fat and minimizing carbohydrate intake, it’s designed to get the body to burn fats instead of carbs, and to reach a metabolic state known as ketosis.

However, there are two kinds of ketogenic diets, says Cowan: the one used to treat certain medical conditions, and the fad type used for weight loss.

The medical diet, which has been around for decades, was originally intended to treat pediatric epilepsy and can be pretty effective for that, Cowan says. There’s also a lot of emerging research about the ketogenic diet and its effect on lowering inflammation in the brain, as well as diabetes.

As for the fad diet, however, casual fad dieters are probably not in ketosis; instead, most people may simply be on a low-carb diet with extra fat.

In general, the ketogenic diet is not intended to be followed for a long period of time, says Cowan, and as such, researchers don’t fully know yet the long-term effects that the diet may have.

“The thing that makes me nervous about the keto diet is the unlimited permission to eat all the fats they want, including unhealthy fats,” says Cowan.

So, before you reach for that extra helping of bacon — which Cowan reminds us is not a health food — it’s important to work with an experienced dietitian or nutritionist who understands the keto diet, “because you’re basically changing the way your body functions.”

Intermittent fasting

Exactly what it sounds like, intermittent fasting is a catch-all term that can mean everything from going without food for a couple of days a month to simply lengthening the amount of time between finishing dinner and eating breakfast.

For those of us who love food and take pleasure in eating, the idea of fasting may seem extreme, but Cowan believes there are potential benefits in this approach.

Having more time between meals allows the body more time to rest and repair itself. The routine’s flexibility means that it can be relatively easy for people to incorporate it into their daily schedule. Even if you decide that intermittent fasting isn’t for you, Cowan does encourage people to stop eating about two to three hours before bed.

Gut health

Wander the aisle of your neighborhood market and you’ll spot all sorts of foods and drinks touting that they’re infused with probiotics and prebiotics. But what exactly are probiotics and prebiotics, and what do they do?

Probiotics are live bacteria that are ingested with the intention that they will take up residence in your intestines. Prebiotics are the food for the probiotics and can be found in high-fiber sources like fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grains. As a result of eating prebiotics, probiotics produce short-chain fatty acids, which have beneficial effects on the gastrointestinal system.

As for all those energy bars, cereals and other prepared foods that are marketed as being loaded with pre- and probiotics, Cowan recommends approaching those with a healthy dose of skepticism.

“Most food marketing is b.s.; some have science behind it; 95 percent of it is marketing,” says Cowan. “Adding something healthy to something unhealthy does not make it healthy.”

Generally speaking, Cowan recommends using refrigerated supplements over shelf-stable ones, and ideally, they should have at least 10 strains of different bacteria. To have an impact, they also have to be taken regularly.

Other sources that are great for promoting a more gut-friendly diet: fermented foods, especially yogurt (plain and unsweetened), kimchi, sauerkraut, lacto-fermented pickles and kefir. Kombucha, which contains a lot of yeasts, can be problematic for some people with gastrointestinal concerns. (It is, however, a good replacement for soda.)

What a lot of these diets have in common, says Cowan, is cutting out unhealthy foods. “At the end of the day, if you’re eating more whole, unprocessed foods and less processed junk, that’s going to benefit anyone,” she says.

Be mindful about eating habits, and prioritize what works for you. Above all, be kind to yourself, Cowan says. “People beat themselves up about what they eat or don’t eat, and that’s not healthy.”

House Passes $3 Trillion Coronavirus Aid Bill Opposed by Trump

The U.S. House of Representatives on Friday narrowly approved a $3 trillion bill crafted by Democrats to provide more aid for battling the coronavirus and stimulating a faltering economy rocked by the pandemic.

By a vote of 208-199 Democrats won passage of a bill that Republican leaders, who control the Senate, have vowed to block despite some Republican support for provisions aimed at helping state and local governments.

Republican President Donald Trump has promised a veto if it were to reach his desk.

However, the Democrats’ measure could trigger a new round of negotiations with congressional Republicans and Trump, who have been talking about the need for new business liability protections in the age of coronavirus or additional tax cuts.

Democrats oppose both of those ideas.

Following the vote, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer announced that May 27-28 would be set aside for voting on some sort of coronavirus-related bill if one is ready by then.

He provided no details on the contents of such a bill.

The U.S. economy has suffered a devastating blow from the coronavirus outbreak. Some 36.5 million people – or more than one in five workers – in the United States have filed for unemployment since the crisis began.

The 1,800-page relief bill passed on Friday, called the Heroes Act, would extend to all corners of the U.S. economy. It includes $500 billion in aid to struggling state governments, another round of direct payments to individuals and families to help stimulate the economy, and hazard pay for healthcare workers and others on the front line of the pandemic.

“Many of them have risked their lives to save lives and many of them may lose their jobs” as state and local government revenues plummet during the crisis, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said during a day-long debate.

The No. 2 Republican, Steve Scalise, urged the House to defeat the huge bill, calling it a “socialist giveaway” and blaming China, where the coronavirus emerged late last year, for the suffering brought by the pandemic.

Passage of the bill came as the United States has recorded more than 85,000 deaths from COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus. The number of U.S. coronavirus cases and deaths far outpace any other country.

Meanwhile, U.S. Capitol officials announced that tourists and other visitors will not be allowed into the massive complex until June 9, instead of the previously announced May 16.

Since March, Congress and the Trump administration have collaborated on four coronavirus bills totaling about $3 billion, passing them with overwhelming bipartisan support.

This fifth bill, however, failed to attract Republican backing in the House except for Representative Peter King of New York, an epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak.

HEATED DEBATE

As Democrats and Republicans sparred over the bill and its cost, the rhetoric sometimes became rancorous.

Democratic Representative Tim Ryan rattled off the destructive impact of a pandemic that has left millions unemployed, families unable to pay their rents and food banks struggling to meet growing demands.

“The Republican Party says ‘we don’t have any money to help ya.’ Are you kidding me?” he shouted across the aisle in the House chamber that divides the two parties.

Earlier on Friday the House also approved a change in its rules to allow members to temporarily cast their votes by proxy during the crisis if Pelosi deems it necessary.

The Democratic initiative, which was opposed by Republicans, marked an historic shift for Congress, which had never before allowed lawmakers to cast votes from anywhere but the House chamber.

It came as Congress struggled to function amid the pandemic, with members mainly sheltering at home in an effort to help stop the spread of the virus.

Under the new proxy-voting rules, House members could cast votes from remote locations.

Friday’s votes brought about 400 House members back to Washington for only the third time since late March.

The session was governed by social distancing and other protective measures so the House does not become a breeding ground for the illness it is trying to contain. Many House members wore masks and some donned surgical gloves.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is the first successful show written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice; it was followed by smash hits Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita. First produced in England in 1974 it had its initial Off-Broadway showing in 1981 and then to Broadway the following year, receiving myriad Tony Award nominations, but no wins. It has become a favorite of high school, college and regional theatres and is now at the Sharon Playhouse, Sharon, Connecticut, in a rollicking, audience pleasing production.

Based on the “coat of many colors” story in the Bible’s “Book of Genesis,” the show is a sung-through musical utilizing various styles including rock, western, Charleston and calypso. This version plays loose with the original adding some shtick, different takes on some of the songs, i.e. “Those Canaan Days” (Canaan being where Joseph’s family lives) performed with French accents, throwaway comments and more. The basic plot, however, follows the events as written in The Bible. Joseph is the eleventh of twelve brothers born to the patriarch Jacob who favors Joseph and gives him the “Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” Joseph reads dreams and informs his siblings that he will rule over them; they, in order to thwart his pronouncement, decide to kill him but instead sell him into slavery in Egypt. After a series of misadventures he is recommended to the pharaoh because of his ability to interpret dreams and becomes the ruler’s favorite advisor. When a famine strikes Canaan Jacob and the brothers travel to Egypt to beg for food. After testing them Joseph forgives them and the family is reunited.

The director/choreographer Russell Garrett has staged the show with energy that goes off the scale. There are very few moments when the stage is quiet as the cast of twenty- six, including a children’s ensemble, sings beautifully in solos and chorus numbers, dances with over-the-top vitality that shakes the theatre, and acts flawlessly. Most of the show employs the ensemble and the children, who are very disciplined performers. Every scene and all twenty-one musical numbers are exhilarating. An audience can get tired from being so euphoric!

The show starts quietly with the narrator (Merrill Peiffer) and the children (Myles Crain, Lorelei Gnerre, Hariett Luongo, Jordan Masselli, Sayde Mendell and Ceanna Weiler) then moves into the rousing “Prologue” led by Peiffer. She (the role was originally written for a male) relates the story with a powerful voice and a strong stage presence. Peiffer soars when she sings “Jacob in Egypt.” Max J. Swarner’s Joseph exudes arrogance as he addresses his brothers, but after being imprisoned by Potiphar (Bill Morris) for allegedly attempting to seduce Mrs. Potiphar (Michelle Lemon,) he sings the powerfully plaintive “Close Every Door” and is humbled.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

One of his cellmates, Pharaoh’s butler (Sam W. Snyder,) for whom Joseph interprets a positive dream, is freed and informs the Pharaoh of his chance meeting with Joseph. The Pharaoh (Michael Glavan) a look-and-sound alike for Elvis Presley sings “Song of the King” and “Stone the Crows” in a dynamic imitation of the late king of Rock and Roll. Glavan almost steals the show.

Thomas P. Swetz’s simple set of steps and platforms and the aisle in front of the first row is aesthetically utilitarian allowing Garrett to create interesting stage pictures and to effectively group voices. The color of the center stage pyramidal shape is, of course, sand and the backdrop is the blue of an Egyptian sky. In addition to dramatically lighting the stage, designer Jamie Roderick uses this backdrop to project various motion-filled graphics that underscore the content of scenes. David Jordan Baxter’s enormous number of costumes range from plain to luxurious with colors that complement those of the set. Musicals in which everyone is wearing a microphone can often be too heavily mic-ed. That is not the case with Graham Stone’s design in which virtually every word can be understood.

Sharon Playhouse under the administration of Robert Levinstein and Alan M-L Wager has an energy and artistry it lacked for several years before their arrival. This production of Joseph… and the earlier ones this season – Crazy for You and Beauty and the Beast – have drawn repeated full houses. What this low-budget theatre has produced these past two years is astounding. Sharon is now a theatre not only for the immediate community but also the entire Berkshire cultural scene. It’s worth the trip!

Moderates are increasingly vocal in their disdain for socialism, and Sanders, but the question of how to constrain him is complicatedThe Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders speaks at George Washington University on 12 June on his policy of democratic socialism. Photograph: Andrew Harnik/APModerate Democrats have stepped up their opposition to Bernie Sanders as part of a concerted effort to isolate him from the sprawling field of otherwise “mainstream” and “electable” presidential candidates running for their party’s nomination in 2020.Last week, Sanders delivered a searing defense of democratic socialism that set himself apart from the rest of the Democratic party, whose opposition he said he not only anticipated but welcomed.Days later, at a gathering of nearly 250 political moderates convened by the centrist thinktank Third Way in South Carolina, some of the party’s most prominent center-left voices took the bait.“I believe a gay midwestern mayor can beat [Donald] Trump. I believe an African American senator can beat Trump. I believe a western governor, a female senator, a member of Congress, a Latino Texan or a former vice-president can beat Trump,” said Jon Cowan, president of Third Way, hours before Donald Trump formally launched his re-election campaign with a rally in Orlando, Florida, on Tuesday.“But I don’t believe a self-described democratic socialist can win.”> I don’t believe a self-described democratic socialist can win> > Jon CowanIn speeches and on panels over the course of two sticky days in Charleston earlier this week, moderate lawmakers, strategists and donors inveighed against the Vermont senator’s populist economic vision. The approach elevated a conversation that has largely taken place behind closed doors about how to thwart Sanders, who moderates believe would alienate crucial voting blocs in a general election.“He has made it his mission to either get the nomination or to remake the party in his image as a democratic socialist,” Cowan told the Guardian. “That is an existential threat to the future of the Democratic party for the next generation.”Sanders – who maintains his political identity as an independent– has made it clear he intends to run against the Democratic establishment even as he seeks the party’s nomination. Third Way’s public criticism of the senator, days before the first presidential primary debates next week, reflects sharp new dividing lines in the battle for control of the party. ‘Anybody but Bernie’“The cat is out of the bag,” Sanders tweeted on Wednesday, sharing a Politico story about how mainstream Democrats are warming to Elizabeth Warren, his closest ideological ally. “The corporate wing of the Democratic party is publicly ‘anybody but Bernie’.”His campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, said in a statement that the party’s moderate faction had effectively “declared war on Senator Sanders” and denounced Third Way as a “Washington thinktank that takes Wall Street money.”Sanders and his allies believe that the Democratic party’s turn toward corporatism led to Trump’s rise and that the theory of political electability advanced by group’s like Third Way is no match for the mood of the electorate in a populist moment.As Democrats becomes more liberal, their views on socialism, especially among young people, are warming. Earlier this month at a party event in California earlier this month, the Democratic hopeful John Hickenlooper was booed by the audience for saying socialism is “not the answer”.> The cat is out of the bag. The corporate wing of the Democratic Party is publicly "anybody but Bernie." They know our progressive agenda of Medicare for All, breaking up big banks, taking on drug companies and raising wages is the real threat to the billionaire class. https://t.co/zimci7JRO6> > — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) June 19, 2019But after more than two years of standing by as the party’s progressive faction flexed its newfound power, moderates again feel ascendant. Emboldened by the results of the 2018 midterm elections, which saw pragmatic Democrats win in dozens of Republican-held districts to deliver a majority in the House of Representatives, they are increasingly vocal in their disdain for socialism – and Sanders.But the question of how to constrain Sanders is complicated. In 2016, Trump defeated a wide field of more experienced and more qualified candidates with a populist message that appealed to the right’s anti-establishment anger. In a race with a similarly large field of candidates, Sanders enters with far more advantages than Trump did: the Vermont senator is both experienced and qualified, with a dedicated following, a prodigious small-dollar fundraising operation, a developed economic platform and a populist appeal that surges when he is attacked by the political establishment he ran against to great effect in 2016.Trump and Republicans continue to hurl the socialism label at the Democrat field. On Tuesday night, Trump warned in a speech formally launching his re-election campaign: “A vote for any Democrat in 2020 is a vote for the rise of radical socialism and the destruction of the American dream.”Democratic hopeful John Hickenlooper was booed by the audience for saying socialism is ‘not the answer’. Photograph: Stephen Lam/ReutersNone of Sanders’s 23 competitors have embraced the democratic socialism label. Warren, who is nipping at his heels in some recent polls, distinguishes herself as a capitalist.Attitudes toward socialism are shifting in the US. Recent surveys have found that young people and women associate socialism with European countries rather than Soviet Russia. Yet socialism remains broadly unpopular: less than half of American voters say they would vote for a “qualified presidential candidate who is a socialist”, according to a Gallup poll released in May. ‘Who’s better on the economy?’The mood at the conference vacillated from nervous optimism to nervous pessimism about Democrats’ prospects for beating Trump in 2020.“If we don’t nominate a self-proclaimed socialist, we’ll probably be OK,” said Jen Psaki, who was White House communications director under Obama. “I hope so.”But the former North Dakota senator Heidi Heitkamp, who lost re-election in 2018, warned that Democrats would continue to lose the White House and the US Senate unless the party makes inroads with rural voters.> If we don’t nominate a self-proclaimed socialist, we’ll probably be OK> > Jen Psaki“We have stopped talking to the middle of the country,” said Heitkamp, who launched One Country Project that seeks to “re-engage rural America”. “People feel like we’ve abandoned the bread-and-butter issues, and people in rural America feel it more accutely.”Emphasizing her point, she said that if farmers from her state were asked to name the three biggest problems in rural America, “not one would say: antitrust”.During the final panel of the day, Jim Messina, Obama’s 2012 campaign manager, predicted the 2020 election will be extremely close.“We could be sitting on election day not knowing who will win,” he said. ‘Get off Twitter’Several speakers urged those in the room to “get off Twitter” and venture into the real world, where far fewer Democrats are engaged in “faculty lounge debates over political ideology”.“There is a potential that the hyper-hyper-engaged – the extremely online voters that are paying attention right now – might be able to drive the direction of the campaigns,” said Lanae Erickson, a senior vice-president at Third Way.She presented a poll conducted by the thinktank that found only one in 10 Democratic primary voters tweet regularly. When compared with the wider Democratic electorate, this cohort of “extremely online” Democrats are far less likely to identify as moderate, are more likely to have participated in a protest and support progressives policies such as Medicare for All.Moderates’ theory on how to win in 2020, as described by one panelist during the conference, is to appeal to the “woke and the still waking”. The best candidate, they argue, is someone who can mobilize a Democratic base that is increasingly young, diverse and liberal, while still appealing to independents, moderate Republicans and working-class voters who could decide the election.This is not achieved with “warmed-over 1990s centrism”, said Cowan, but neither is it achieved by “1960s Nordic-style socialism”.> People feel like we’ve abandoned the bread-and-butter issues, and people in rural America feel it more acutely> > Heidi Heitkamp“Voters do not want mushy, bland, empty Democratic centrism,” Cowan said. “But that’s not who this rising generation of swing district winners are.”On Monday evening, one of those new House members, the South Carolina congressman Joe Cunningham, welcomed the group to his district, which the 37-year-old flipped last year after decades of Republican control.Cunningham said he did not win his race by promising Medicare for All or by demonizing Republicans. Rather, he said he won by positioning himself as a moderate who was willing to work across the aisle and occasionally buck his own party.Like a football coach rallying his team before a game, Cunningham said Republicans who run to the right to embrace Trump are “ceding more and more ground in the middle”.“There is so much middle ground to gain in 2020,” he shouted. “I say we take it!”

Obama, Bush to eulogize former political foe McCain at cathedral service

New Post has been published on https://newsintoday.info/2018/09/01/obama-bush-to-eulogize-former-political-foe-mccain-at-cathedral-service/

Obama, Bush to eulogize former political foe McCain at cathedral service

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Former U.S. presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush will lead mourners on Saturday in a service for the late John McCain, the longtime Arizona senator and Vietnam war hero whose bids for the White House were dashed by the two men.

A casket with the body of late U.S. Senator McCain lies in state in the Rotunda at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, U.S., August 31, 2018. REUTERS/Eric Thayer

On the way to Washington’s National Cathedral, the cortege of one of America’s most famous prisoners of war will stop at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial where his wife, Cindy McCain, will lay a wreath to honor those who died in the war.

Obama and Bush, a Democrat and a Republican, will be joined by a collection of former U.S. presidents, senators, Vietnam-era officials and others paying tribute to the statesman who died Aug. 25 of brain cancer, days shy of his 82nd birthday..

Conspicuously absent will be President Donald Trump, who over the past three years engaged in a public feud with McCain, a fellow Republican.

McCain’s family had made clear that Trump was not welcome at memorial services in Arizona and Washington or at Sunday’s private burial service in Annapolis, Maryland, at the U.S. Naval Academy. McCain was a member of the Academy’s Class of 1958.

In Congress, where he laid in state on Friday, McCain was a leading voice for revamping the country’s immigration, campaign finance and environmental laws. But it was his military service, punctuated by years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam, that molded McCain’s political life.

McCain, who rose to the rank of captain in the U.S. Navy, was shot down over Hanoi while on a bombing mission in 1967.

Held as a prisoner until 1973, McCain was tortured by his North Vietnamese captors in a jail that Americans dubbed the “Hanoi Hilton.”

Lying in state in the U.S. Capitol since Friday morning, McCain was commemorated by politicians of all stripes and mourners who filed past his flag-draped coffin into the night.

On Saturday, a motorcade will take McCain’s casket past the capital’s stately monuments en route to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, where Cindy McCain will place a wreath at the black, v-shaped granite wall inscribed with the names of more than 58,000 U.S. soldiers killed in combat.

At the time of his death, McCain was chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, where he was known as a tough overseer of the country’s military.

This summer, with McCain too ill to travel to Washington, Congress hurried to pass the “John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act” that will carry out a huge military buildup by allowing $716 billion to be spent in the coming year alone.

Inside the cathedral, which took 83 years to build and is the sixth largest in the world, the congregants will hear from a central figure of the Vietnam War: 95-year-old Henry Kissinger.

Kissinger was an adviser to then-president Richard Nixon and played a role in planning the controversial U.S. bombing of Cambodia and negotiating an end to U.S. military action in Vietnam.

Pallbearers for Saturday’s service reflect the eclectic political company McCain kept, which helped him earn the reputation of a maverick willing to work with the other side of the aisle.

They include Hollywood actor and liberal political activist Warren Beatty, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an independent, liberal former Senator Russ Feingold who crafted landmark campaign finance legislation with McCain, and former Senator Gary Hart, a Democrat who like McCain ran unsuccessfully for president.

Obama, Bush to eulogize former political foe McCain at cathedral service

WASHINGTON: Former U.S. presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush will lead mourners on Saturday in a service for the late John McCain, the longtime Arizona senator and Vietnam war hero whose bids for the White House were dashed by the two men.

Conspicuously absent will be President Donald Trump, who over the past three years engaged in a public feud with McCain, a fellow Republican.

McCain, who rose to the rank of captain in the U.S. Navy, was shot down over Hanoi while on a bombing mission in 1967.

Democrats say Trump agrees to work on immigration bill, wall in dispute

Democrats say Trump agrees to work on immigration bill, wall in dispute

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump and Democratic leaders in the U.S. Congress have agreed to work together on legislation to protect “Dreamers,” the illegal immigrants who were children when they entered the United States, the lawmakers said on Wednesday, although a dispute erupted over exactly what had been agreed.

Following a dinner with Trump at the White House, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and House of Representatives Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said the “productive meeting” focused on “DACA,” a program established by former President Barack Obama.

“We agreed to enshrine the protections of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) into law quickly, and to work out a package of border security, excluding the wall, that’s acceptable to both sides,” Schumer and Pelosi said in a statement.

All year, Democrats have insisted that they will block any legislation that contains funding for a wall along the length of the U.S. border with Mexico, a top Trump campaign goal that many Republicans in Congress also do not support.

While White House officials have suggested legislation on DACA could move forward without wall funding, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders disputed the characterization that a deal had been reached to leave it out of any legislation focused on the Dreamers.

“While DACA and border security were both discussed, excluding the wall was certainly not agreed to,” she said on Twitter.

Throughout his 2016 campaign for president and since taking office in January, Trump has demanded the construction of a wall to keep out illegal immigrants and drugs. He initially said Mexico would pay for the wall but has requested money from the U.S. Congress after the government of Mexico refused to pay.

The dinner was the latest effort in a new initiative by Trump to work with opposition party Democrats on major legislation.

Following the dinner, a White House official said the president, Schumer and Pelosi discussed tax reform, immigration, border security, infrastructure investments and trade as part of Trump’s bid to reach out to Democrats.

“The administration looks forward to continuing these conversations with leadership on both sides of the aisle,” the official said.

Over a dinner of Chinese food, Trump and the Democratic leaders also discussed issues related to U.S.-China trade, according to a congressional aide briefed on the meeting.

Schumer and Pelosi also said that they urged Trump to make permanent government subsidy payments under the Affordable Care Act, also known as “Obamacare.”

“Those discussions will continue,” the lawmakers said.

Trump and most Republicans in Congress have demanded the repeal of Obamacare but have been unable to agree on a replacement for the healthcare program that became law in 2010.

Using his executive powers, Trump canceled Obama’s DACA program in which about 800,000 undocumented young people have escaped the threat of deportation and been able to apply for work permits in the United States. Trump argued that Obama over-stepped his authority in creating the program.

But Trump gave Congress six months to come up with a replacement program in the form of legislation to be enacted into law.

Democratic Representative Henry Cuellar, who attended a White House meeting with Trump earlier on Wednesday, told reporters the president said he would not insist on wall funding as part of a Dreamers bill, but would pursue it on other, future legislation.

Cuellar said Trump urged lawmakers to link a Republican bill to cut legal immigration to the United States with protections for Dreamers. But many Democrats oppose lowering the cap on annual legal immigration.
