Despite signs of trouble, GOP has a road map for winning in November Posted: 07 Sep 2018 02:12 PM PDT As Election Day nears, it's looking better and better for Democrats to take over the House.

As chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee, he's charged with winning the House for the GOP.

For West, Aung San Suu Kyi’s silence complicates response to Rohingya crisis Posted: 07 Sep 2018 12:38 PM PDT Three years ago, the world cheered as Nobel Peace Prize winner and democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi swept elections in Myanmar, promising a new dawn after half a century of military dictatorship. The applause has quickly died, however, supplanted by dismay at signs that Western governments' faith in the new regime was misplaced, and by uncertainty about how to treat the authorities in Myanmar, formerly known as Burma. Last week, a United Nations mission investigating the army operation that forced nearly 700,000 minority Muslim Rohingya to flee the country over the past year called for Myanmar's military leaders to be prosecuted for genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.

Fresh Russian and Syrian airstrikes on Idlib were reported Friday morning. UN Syria mediator Staffan de Mistura said there were "all the ingredients for a perfect storm," Reuters reported.
