New York man arrested for threatening Steve Scalise over voicemail: Report

Telephone threats to two House members led to the arrest of a New York man Thursday, according to reports.

Carlos Bayon, 63, allegedly left threatening voicemails for Majority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., and a member of Congress from Washington state, in calls to their local offices, according to a local report. Bayon faces up to 5 years in prison or a $250,000 fine.

“Hey listen, this message is for you and the people that sent you there. You are taking ours, we are taking yours. Anytime, anywhere. We know where they are. We are not going to feed them sandwiches, we are going to feed them lead. Make no mistake you will pay. Ojo por ojo, diente por diente (Spanish for ‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth’). That is our law and we are the majority. Have a good day," Bayon said, per a Buffalo TV station.

Top Democrat in N.H. Senate arrested on domestic violence charges, faces calls to resign

The top Democrat in the New Hampshire state Senate is facing bipartisan calls to resign after his arrest Thursday on nine misdemeanor counts related to alleged domestic violence.

Jeff Woodburn, who has vowed to fight the charges, is accused by the state attorney general’s office of incidents dating to August 2017 that allegedly includes repeatedly biting a woman described as an “intimate partner,” striking her face and stomach, throwing water at her and causing damage to her property.

“I intend to fully address and defend against these charges in court,” Woodburn, a three-term senator who is seeking reelection, said in a statement. He did not address the calls to resign.

WWE wrestler known as Kane wins mayor’s race in Tennessee

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Glenn Jacobs, the WWE wrestler known as Kane, has won the bout for mayor in Tennessee’s third largest county.

Jacobs, a Republican who also runs an insurance and real estate company, was leading Democrat Linda Haney by a large margin with most of the votes counted in Knox County on Thursday. The Knoxville News Sentinel reports Jacobs claimed victory at his watch party, saying his decision to seek the mayor’s job was met at first with “pretty resounding laughter” from some politicians.

Jacobs won a close primary in May. Results of the primary were delayed when the county’s election reporting website crashed after a concerted cyberattack that experts deemed “malicious.”

Haney ran small businesses with her husband before she retired. She was considered an underdog in the solidly-Republican county.

Poll: Americans Believe FBI was Biased in Trump/Clinton Investigations

A recent poll conducted by the HarrisX polling company for Hill.TV’s public opinion show “What America’s Thinking” shows that a majority of Americans believe the FBI demonstrated a political bias in its handling of the Trump-Russia probe and in the possible mishandling of classified information by Hillary Clinton. The poll surveyed 1,058 registered voters and found that 62% of Americans believe that the FBI was biased in both cases.

Duterte says may deploy warship to save Filipino captives in Libya

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said on Friday he might send the navy's most modern frigate to waters off Libya in a bid to "save" three Filipinos and a South Korean kidnapped last month from a water plant in the north African country.

South Korea has redirected a vessel taking part in anti-piracy operations in the Gulf of Aden to help in the release of the four men taken almost a month ago, according to news agency Yonhap.

Bezos throws cash, engineers at rocket program as space race accelerates

Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos is racing to pull his private space company out of start-up mode and move into production amid signals that his firm's heavy rocket set for lift-off in 2020 may slip behind schedule, according to people familiar with the project.

Blue Origin has added hundreds of engineers over the past three years and continues to ramp up in an expansion that one employee described as "hyperbolic." The Kent, Washington-based company is looking to double its current workforce to around 3,000 employees over the next two to three years, a top customer told Reuters.

The urgency centers on a rocket dubbed New Glenn. The heavy-launch vehicle, which Bezos promises will be able to haul satellites and, eventually, people into orbit, is central to the company's hopes of winning lucrative military and commercial contracts.

Dick Durbin’s ‘Defeat by a Thousand Innuendos’ Strategy

Defeat by a Thousand Innuendos — that’s the strategy being pursued by those who oppose Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination. There is so little of substance to use against him, they are left with tossing around little more than speculation, supposition, or suggestion.
