this is not washed on washington. he was smart enough to know he should not be defending this island. congress is now, we expect you to make every effort to defend this. and they lose badly, not surprisingly so. at that time the british are chasing the continental army towards philadelphia, the seat of our government, that's when congress finally says, all right, this isn't working. when you change what it means to be the american commander and that's what they actually grant washington was dictatorial powers and adjust the makeup of how they're going to run this war. it originally was only for one week while they we convene in baltimore. an athlete, washington starts getting his act together. the congress does, just keep these people away from us. you could be a dictator. dictator back then was not a dirty word that it is now. it just meant he had full military control to make decisions. he was a political dictator, where he can have edicts and cover and allow the congress never gave up their power over the people. o

conflict in syria according to white house official the source speaking on condition of anonymity said washington is preparing to sam weaponry in response to opposition requests for surface to air missiles and anti-tank rockets speaking to reporters president barack obama himself hinted at military action if allegations of chemical warfare in syria are confirmed are just marine aboard i listen to what the president had to say. the only option that he gave was a scenario in which he said if the u.s. finds out that the syrian government has used chemical weapons against the rebels then obama strongly indicated that the u.s. would consider military intervention but he did not address what would happen if it was in fact the rebels or members of the opposition that have used chemical weapons throughout this ongoing conflict but at this point iraq obama says that u.s. intelligence officials don't know who has used chemical weapons inside of syria how they were used or whether they were used the u.s. cannot confirm if it was in fact damascus who's used the weapons now obama said that his administration

the worst thing that washington could imagine, i'm talking about washington has become a city, capital, could imagine, was actually supporting anybody who youth, who had liberated slaves and was using them to fight a revolution. so it was very, the reputation began to get worse and worse because every, thus led i think, against bolivar come including the fact a lot of people were dying in this revolution, this bloody revolution didn't speak well for the whole enterprise. thank you.

this cartoon in the "washington post" illustrates this divide perfectly. there is a man on the ground down on his luck with a sign that says i have been looking for work for five years. meanwhile another man dressed in a suit and smoking a cigar leans over and says a better strategy would have been to buy stocks. the front page of the paper he is holding says dow with a big up arrow. it is easy to look back and say you should have jumped in but others of you are still struggling now. the job is the most important thing for you, not the stock market rally. another example, facebook's one year anniversary as a public company, remember all of that incredible hype? retail investors dying to get in, thinking this was their chance to prosper, the little guy going to get a piece of a big company and make their fortune? it plunged and still down 30% from the initial offering price. you have every reason to be skeptical when they tell you the only way to make money is get in the stock market. it is a reminder there are no guarantees and we're living in one america

ok marvin in washington is the drone policy working what dividends is it producing . because of the art obama's there's a lot given is not. right not a lot no no it's become much more discriminative in the last several months certainly whether that continues to be the case and i think it will be. the value of the drone program his not been just to take out the high profile al-qaeda types taliban types that's not been the purpose of it it's been mainly to disrupt the operations of the insurgency as they mount a tax cut coming across the border in other words they have to always be conscious of the fact that if they're out in the open if if they're if they are the targets they're going to be hit let me say this i wrote a very strong editorial against the drones back in two thousand and seven and never thought i should say an op ed in the washington post and which i argued against the use because i said it's going to turn the pakistani public against that and the cost and benefits didn't work out that was at a time when we were actually we had a lot of collateral damage

what about washington ? how many would vote for washington ? "collins: 11. nichols: 9%. others: 6%." - which one are you, jess ? - i'm "other." - "other" ? - there must be some mistake. - no mistake. as far as the voters in this town are concerned, i'm a nobody. well, that's going to change. how do you figure ? because you are going to talk to them every day here at crossroads cafe. that's a great idea. come on. let's start now. what are you doing, victor ? you are going to give a speech. but i'm not prepared. i don't know the first thing about-- ladies and gentlemen. if you will forgive this brief interruption, i would like to introduce you to the next city councilman from the fourth district... and our best customer, jess washington ! - thanks, victor. - shh. shh. hi. i'm jess washington. i guess you know that, since victor just introduced me. is that club sandwich ready yet ? well, anyway i just want to say that if i'm elected, i promise to be the best councilman this city ever had. i can also promise that this city will work for you, instead of against you. thank you

we are at a time now where we are looking away from washington to change washington. it will have to be a challenge for parents and pastors of a new generation who want to make a difference. i meet them all the time out on the street. come and be part of the conversation. they are doing the job in chicago where we have lost more people to gun violence than in afghanistan in a year. i think a new generation -- highview inspired the common good, and then how do you apply it -- how do you inspire the common good and then how do you apply it? the role of government to our household life, to how the diversity in america cannot so much be managed, it is fundamentally in the scriptures, it is the attention of god -- intention of god that there be a diverse creation to be creative. this is what our asset is. the beloved community welcomes all the tribes, and that's what it does. behind montgomery in selma, there was a vision for a beloved community. tavis: the new book is called " on god's side, what religion forbids and the public has not learned about serving." good to have

and that is not the scandal that washington teased, the scandal washington sees is that tea party and other phrases were used by the irs to search out at some point the kind of applications that required more questions from irs agents, that was before the irs decided to use more neutral terms to search this out. this is what the irs does all the time with every tax return it receives. the irs knows they can't possibly audit every tax document they receive, so they use red flags to pull tax returns out of the pile for more scrutiny. the home office deduction is a classic red flag that the irs has been using for decades. if you deduct the cost of part of your home for office space, it increases the likelihood that your tax return will be pulled for audit because in the irs' experience it marginally increases the likelihood that your tax return is not, shall we say, perfectly accurate. there's a lot of cheating around the home office deduction and the irs knows it. and because there are very, very few people that claim that office deduction that actually fulfill the strict requirements f

to cross-talk defense spending i'm joined by my guests in washington anthony shaffer he is the director for external communications at the center for advanced defense studies douglas macgregor he is a retired army colonel author and independent businessman and she is a journalist at war dot com or the folks crosstalk rules and that means you can jump in anytime on kelly if i can go to you first what is one fact that is not focused enough on in this debate what's the biggest myth about defense spending well i'd say the one fact that's not focused enough on this in this debate is the fact that we are in a natural downturn anyway having out of iraq and afghanistan wars so we're headed for a twenty to thirty percent drop in defense spending anyway that's that's natural what the sequester is done it is for a. same the defense department to take a hatchet to the budget and so it is allowing the defense department executives to avoid the real thoughtful smart cuts that should occur anyway and now we see a lot of grandstanding so the first the first to go will be you know employee employees are
