Pence pays tribute to fallen and heroes from Texas massacre Posted: 09 Nov 2017 06:13 AM PST U.S. Vice President Mike Pence traveled on Wednesday to rural southeastern Texas, where he paid tribute to the victims and heroes from a church massacre that stands as the deadliest gun violence ever committed in a U.S. place of worship. Pence and his wife, Karen, were welcomed with cheers and applause from as many as 2,000 people who filled half of a high school football stadium in Floresville, Texas, for the prayer vigil, about 13 miles from the scene of Sunday's carnage in the town of Sutherland Springs. "We gather tonight to offer our deepest condolences, and I offer the condolences of the American people to all those affected by the horrific attack that took place just three days ago," Pence told the crowd.

China vs. America: Who Would Win in a Naval Clash Over the South China Sea? Posted: 09 Nov 2017 03:46 AM PST The LCS was designed to fight close to shore, a characteristic that opens the vessel up to more missions — and challenges — than most Navy ships. The vessels are lightly armed, and rely on swappable "mission modules" to increase firepower and other special capabilities such as surface warfare, minesweeping and anti-submarine warfare. The year is 2016, and two of the U.S. Navy's latest ships are backing a key ally in the tinderbox of the South China Sea. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

US Democrats mount new effort to ban assault weapons Posted: 09 Nov 2017 02:16 AM PST Nearly half of all US Senate Democrats introduced an updated assault weapons ban Wednesday aimed at curbing deadly mass shootings, but the legislation has not gained support from Republicans who control the chamber. Senator Dianne Feinstein, who successfully led the charge in introducing and passing the original ban on such weapons in 1994, sponsored the current measure, which also bans the sale and use of devices which allow semi-automatic rifles to fire at machine gun rates. "It's past time to remove weapons of war from our streets," Feinstein said in introducing the new bill with 22 other Democrats. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now
