Week In The News: Middle East Violence, Plane Crash In Ukraine, Immigration At Home (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Shock this week, over another Malaysia Airlines flight: this one down over Eastern Ukraine. Apparently — said Vice President Joe Biden — “not an accident, blown out of the sky.” What comes next is far from certain. In the Middle East, Israeli tanks roll into Gaza, in a ground assault that may expand. At home, the immigration debate keeps heating up around migrant kids and the border. Chris Christie soaks up GOP love in Iowa. GM CEO back in the hot seat. LeBron back to Cleveland. This hour On point: our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines./Tom Ashbrook

Friday News Roundup - Domestic (Diane Rehm Show)

With two weeks to go before August recess, Congress scrambles to craft legislation to address the border crisis. Around the country, more and more communities protest the arrival of immigrant children. Top executives from General Motors testify again on Capitol Hill over the company’s handling of the faulty ignition-switch recall. Senators question why G.M.’s top lawyer still has his job. The House votes to temporarily fund the Highway Trust Fund just weeks before money runs out. And Citibank agrees to a $7 billion dollar settlement with the U.S. government over their role in the mortgage crisis. Diane discusses the week in news with a panel of reporters.

Friday News Roundup - International (Diane Rehm Show)

A surface-to-air missile shot down a passenger plane over Ukraine, killing all 298 people aboard. Ukraine and Russia traded blame, but it remained unclear who was responsible. Israel launched a ground offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip after a temporary cease-fire. Nuclear negotiations between Iran and world powers will hit a deadline on Sunday, but talks seemed likely to be extended. The U.S. announced new sanctions against Russia over Ukraine. Russia's President Putin warned of consequences. And in Syria, President Assad was sworn in for a third term. A panel of journalists joins Diane for analysis of the week's top international news stories.

FFRF to distribute more atheist literature in Orange County Schools; court dismisses case

"...The now-permitted materials include a pamphlet that the district had previously prohibited because it “argues that Jesus did not promote equality and social justice, was not compassionate, was not reliable and was not a good example.” Other pamphlets that discuss what the bible says about abortion and which, according to the district, “assert that God is hateful, arrogant, sexist and cruel” will now be allowed. As will Robert Price’s Jesus Is Dead, which the district originally prohibited because “[t]he claim that Jesus was not crucified or resurrected is age inappropriate for the maturity levels of many of the students in high school.” An odd claim given that the district allowed the bible..."

Dick Cheney The Living Embodiment Of Eisenhower's Greatest Fear

"Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday that President Barack Obama is "devastating" the U.S. military and needs to divert more resources away from domestic priorities such as rebuilding roads and making sure low-income people can get food.

During an event sponsored by Politico, Cheney said the next president needs to "turn around the whole trend" of cutting defense dollars.

"That ought to be our top priority for spending. Not food stamps, not highways or anything else," Cheney said. "Your No. 1 responsibility as president is to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. [Obama] is the commander-in-chief and he's absolutely devastating the United States military today."

What Should Palestine Do? An MLK Quote Says It All

"Israel has urged thousands of people in east and north Gaza to leave their homes as it continues air strikes.

An Egyptian truce initiative on Tuesday failed to halt rocket attacks on Israel by Hamas militants and other groups.

Israel, which had its first fatality on Tuesday, said senior Hamas militants had died in strikes on Gaza overnight.

Palestinian officials say at least 211 people have died in Israeli raids, including 10 killed overnight and four children who died later on Wednesday."

Jon Stewart Enrages Right Winger, First Over Gaza, Then It Gets Personal

"Conservative radio host Mark Levin went on a rant today against Jon Stewart over a bit he did Monday night over the current crisis in Israel, a bit that really offended Levin and led him to call Stewart a "knee-jerk idiot" (as well as questioning Stewart changing his last name).

Levin said that Israel is doing whatever it can to limit civilian casualties and so he was offended at Stewart joking about how Gazans are being warned about bombings and how they have no place safe to escape to. Levin cried, "Have you f'ing seen Israel, you little twerp? Have you f'ing seen what surrounds Israel, you little twerp?""

Following Bombed Kids, NBC Pulls Reporter For Reporting Truth

"Ayman Mohyeldin, the NBC News correspondent who personally witnessed yesterday's killing by Israel of four Palestinian boys on a Gazan beach and who has received widespread praise for his brave and innovative coverage of the conflict, has been told by NBC executives to leave Gaza immediately. According to an NBC source upset at his treatment, the executives claimed the decision was motivated by "security concerns" as Israel prepares a ground invasion, a claim repeated to me by an NBC executive. But late yesterday, NBC sent another correspondent, Richard Engel, along with an American producer who has never been to Gaza and speaks no Arabic, into Gaza to cover the ongoing Israeli assault (both Mohyeldin and Engel speak Arabic).

Mohyeldin is an Egyptian-American with extensive experience reporting on that region. He has covered dozens of major Middle East events in the last decade for CNN, NBC and Al Jazeera English, where his reporting on the 2008 Israeli assault on Gaza made him a star of the network. NBC aggressively pursued him to leave Al Jazeera, paying him far more than the standard salary for its on-air correspondents."

Atheist Invocation In New York Town Meeting Speaks To Shared American Identity (Full Text)

"Town board of Greece, New York had a change of pace on Tuesday when atheist Dan Courtney delivered the meeting's opening invocation, referencing the Founding Fathers and the Declaration of Independece. Instead of referencing a holy text or divine creator, Courtney stepped up to the podium after the Pledge of Allegiance and discussed why he believes the tenets of the country's free society are under attack and what Americans need to do about it. 

In May the Supreme Court ruled to uphold the right of town boards to begin their meetings with sectarian prayer -- a decision that many atheists descried as an infringement of the separation of church and state. In his invocation Courtney urged Americans to look to their own conscience to find the path toward overcoming what he sees as an attack on the freedom's guaranteed by the Constitution. "We can say with confidence that it is in seeking the counsel of our conscience that we find the beginning of wisdom. It is in the exercise of our duty as citizens that we find the beginning of knowledge." Below is a transcript of Courtney's invocation, delivered to the Greece, NY town board: Thank you, members of the town board. Thank you, Supervisor Rielich, for allowing me to offer the invocation. 

Freethinkers, atheists, non-believers, whatever label you wish, this group comprises a significant part of our population. I am honored to be providing an invocation on their behalf, and on behalf of all the citizens of the town of Greece. On July 4th, 1776, the 56 men, who pledged their lives to the document that changed the course of history, agreed to the central tenet that, “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” More than 238 years later this central premise still echoes, however faintly, from the town hall to the white columned halls of Washington. Yet this premise, this foundation necessary for a free and flourishing society, is today, more than ever, under assault. 

This central pillar of a free society; this notion that is deeply heretical to authoritarian culture, proclaims that it is from the people that moral authority is derived. It is that within us, the citizens, that knowledge and wisdom must emerge. The preservation of this premise does not come from accepting the status quo, but by asserting our rights and exercising our duties. That this premise still endures testifies to its truth, and we can say with confidence that it is in seeking the counsel of our conscience that we find the beginning of wisdom. 

It is in the exercise of our duty as citizens that we find the beginning of knowledge. We, as citizens, the beginning and the end, the alpha and the omega of our destiny are not, as the great philosopher Immanuel Kant warned, mere means to the ends of another, but we are ends in ourselves. This basic premise, this profound idea, guides us such that we need not kneel to any king, and we need not bow to any tyrant. 

So I ask all officials present here, as guarantors of our founder’s revolutionary proclamation, to heed the counsel of the governed; to seek the wisdom of all citizens, and to honor the enlightened wisdom and the profound courage of those 56 brave men. Thank you."

The Establishment Should Fear Elizabeth Warren

"Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) went to bat for a fellow Democrat's underdog Senate campaign here Monday, railing against Rep. Shelley Moore Capito's (R-W.Va.) financial industry connections. The historic Shepherdstown, chartered in 1762, played host to Warren's upbeat rally in support of West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant.

Tennant and Capito are vying to succeed the retiring Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) in a race that will produce the Mountain State's first-ever female senator. Warren, who has campaigned this cycle for Senate candidates across the Democratic political spectrum, gave a scathing criticism of Capito's record on financial issues.

"When [Wall Street] needs her, [Capito's] been there," Warren said in a packed hotel ballroom. "She's out there for Wall Street, she's leading the charge. ... We need some more people who are willing to work on the side of America's families."

An Outrage Beyond All Others: The Use Of Religion to Assault Democracy

"...The religious right was not satisfied with a Christian national motto, religious liberty to flout any law, offices in Congress and the White House, taxpayer dollars for faith-based initiatives, or tax free status at the expense of the people, and after being given far too many inches, and deference to their prerogatives, they have the temerity to demand more. It is time for Americans to say enough, draw a line in the sand, and not give one inch more. Because now that the Christian Right is on a roll, they are not going to stop until they get the ultimate deference; constitutional freedom to impose a Christian theocracy on a secular representative democracy."

    The Whole IRS 'Scandal' Was About ONE Thing & It Totally Worked

    "The Internal Revenue Service has decided to award most nonprofit groups tax exemption status without being screened, Time reported Sunday.

    IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told Time that about 80 percent of charitable groups seeking tax exemption will go through a simplified application process. Groups that report total assets lower than $250,000 and an income of less than $50,000 can pay a $400 fee and fill out a three-page form to automatically be eligible to receive tax-deductible donations.

    Prior to the change, the application process involved a 26-page form, and required groups to provide supporting documentation and outline their intended activities to be considered for tax-exempt status."

    "I just want your viewers to imagine the United States being bombarded not in one city or two cities, but in every city between New York and Colorado," Netanyahu said. "80% of your citizens would have to be in bomb shelters or ready to go into bomb shelters within a minute to minute-and-a-half, max. No country can accept that, we can't accept it, and we'll take the necessary actions to stop it.""
