Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says China’s reaction is "fundamentally irresponsible." Watch the event in the video player above. "We’ll continue our efforts to keep open lines of communication with Beijing while defending our interests and values in the region," she said.

We are teaching different with American president Abraham Lincoln using a quote attributed to him on self-determination. Here’s the quote, "The best way to predict the future is to create it." A really thought provoking quote. It’s short, to the point, and talks about what it is that we can control in our life, and how that affects how our future is going to unfold. Lincoln has a pretty clear opinion on this. What would you say the claim is? [...] I think you’ll get a lot of students agreeing with Abraham Lincoln on this quote. There are always a few students who, when you ask them what they want to be when they grow up, give you their wildest dreams. They’re going to say what it is they want to do that makes them happy. I just remember students, who really liked sports, telling me, I want to make it to the NBA, I want to make it to the NFL. It’s really an inspiring quote because it says you have the ability to take control over that. Just asking students what their dreams are is a great way to start this conversation.

This meme seems to stem from that belief. However, Clinton and her allies have long argued that critics have misunderstood her message, saying that she didn’t advocate for society to usurp the roles of parents, but rather that she saw a role for other individuals -- including other family members, neighbors, teachers, pastors and others -- to have a positive, additive role in raising children. | 2016-03-23 | False | false | true | insufficient-supports |

I believe that she does have a lot of compassion for children. That being said, there were times that I had great difficulty reading her book about the well being of children, knowing that she was a war hawk in the US’s illegal invasion of Iraq in 2003. On page 290 of her book, Clinton states that it is the responsibility of the government to "Keep America the world’s strongest force of peace, freedom, and prosperity." Her vote for war did nothing to embrace these ideals. War does not effect any person more than it effects a child. Of the vast problems that children in the United States face, their problems pale in comparison to the challenges that many Iraqi children are dealing with. | 1995-01-01 | False | false | true | insufficient-supports |

Watch Blinken’s remarks in the player above. Blinken said the U.S. response, delivered to the Russian Foreign Ministry by U.S. Ambassador to Russia John Sullivan, gave up no ground on "core principles" such as NATO’s open-door membership policy and the alliance’s military presence in Eastern Europe.

Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) accused McCarthy of engaging in "impeachment theater," in an interview with CNN, telling host Dana Bash he believes McCarthy is floating the impeachment inquiry to placate Republican lawmakers who believe the government spending cuts he agreed to with Biden during the debt ceiling negotiations did not go far enough. Some Republican senators have also suggested the impeachment talk is a distraction from other issues, including Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), who told reporters she wants the Senate and the House to focus on Congress’ annual defense spending bill that’s currently being negotiated in both chambers.

The legislature further finds that the founding fathers of our nation and state wanted to have firearms in the hands of ordinary citizens as a means of protecting freedom and deterring potential despots from undermining our constitutional republic by force. The American revolution was won by an armed populace against the British standing army. [...] George Washington, America's first president, said, "Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences and tendencies prove that to ensure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that's good." [...] As a result of these lessons from history, it is the intent of the legislature to promote freedom and protect public safety by enacting the Washington state firearms civil rights act and by imposing civil and criminal penalties on any person or public official who unlawfully or unconstitutionally interferes with the right of a citizen to keep and bear arms, or who criminally possesses or uses a firearm. | 2016-02-05 | False | false | true | insufficient-supports |

Jim Carrey will always be that crazy pet detective with the outlandish shirts and the ridiculous quiff haircut but there’s so much more to him than funny faces and easy-to-quote punchlines. We got our first signs of Carrey’s ambition way back in 1998 when he starred as Truman Burbank, a pleasant, everyday man ignorant to the fact that his whole life had been one fat lie, playing out for millions of addicted viewers as a unknowing reality TV star. The script was tight, quirky and most importantly it was different. The Truman Show was hailed for it’s foreboding prediction in the way we watch television.
