Martin Moore

Federal Way City CouncilmemberMartin Moore announced Tuesday hellrun this fall for the seat held by Democrat Carol Gregory, who was appointed after the death of Rep. Roger Freeman in October.

Moore worked as an aide for Freeman. Healso is close friends with state Sen. Mark Miloscia who switched parties last year and won election as a Republican to the 30th District state Senate seat.

Like Miloscia, Moore said he no longer felt welcome in his former party as a pro-life Democrat opposed to abortion.

The party has becomeso incredibly intolerant of people who might disagree with them on some issues, Moore said in an interview. The party has shifted enormously, and its gone to the far left.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) Democrat Tom Wolf has been sworn in as Pennsylvania's 47th governor, replacing Republican Tom Corbett.

Wolf took his oath of office Tuesday before a huge crowd gathered for the ceremony outside the Capitol.

The 65-year-old Wolf is calling for bipartisanship in a divided state government and has said his goals are creating good-paying jobs, good schools and a government that works.

Wolf is a former businessman who ran his family's business for nearly 30 years. He tapped his personal wealth to give himself a leg up in his first election campaign.

Wolf denied former Corbett a second term by winning nearly 55 percent of the vote. He was the only Democrat nationally to unseat a sitting Republican governor in the Nov. 4 election.

He said that Pheu Thai legal specialist Ruangkrai Leekijwattana's claim that the petition filed by the Democrats against Yingluck over the ricepledging scheme was unlawful had no basis in fact.

Jurit said the party filed the petition with the Senate on November 15, 2013, seeking the impeachment of Yingluck. He said 152 MPs endorsed the petition but after the Senate checked it, six of those MPs resigned. The petition was left with the signatures of 146 MPs, which was not less than the number of MPs required to seek impeachment according to Provision 271 of the 2007 Constitution.

The Senate took ten days to look into the petition before submitting it to the National AntiCorruption Commission on November 25, 2013.

Senate Speaker Nikom Wairatpanich checked the list of MPs, he said, and that was when Ruangkrai should have contacted Nikom.

The National Legislative Assembly will vote on Friday on whether or not Yingluck be impeached over charges by the NACC that she failed to stop corruption in the rice pledging scheme that led to losses amounting to at least Bt500 billion.

The Pheu Thai camp had speculated that Yingluck would probably be impeached because most NLA members were rightwing extremists.

Wannabe terrorists will no longer be able to make bombs in their homes legally if Sen. Chuck Schumer has his way.

Citing the growth of homegrown terror attacks, the New York Democrat said the time has come to close a legal loophole that he said handcuffs law enforcement agents investigating extremists.

It is shocking to learn that it is not illegal for an individual to build an explosive device at home, Schumer said.

He said legal explosives could be assembled from readily available items like fireworks and instant ice packs.

Homemade bombs were used in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the Oklahoma City blast and the attack on the Boston Marathon, Schumer pointed out.

Theres absolutely no good reason to build an explosive device in ones home, particularly in this day and age, he said.

Al Qaeda magazine Inspire, which published a how-to article in 2010 headlined Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom, recently came out with another home guide for making explosives.

A top Democratic and Republican senator agreed Sunday about the urgent need to address the global terror threat and Irans nuclear program but disagreed on possible solutions and other issues, underscoring the reality that Washington remains as divided as ever.

Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, told Fox News Sunday that hes not seeing the leadership from President Obama to stop the worldwide terror threat -- including the growth of the Islamic State in Syria.

As long as ISIS is not losing, they are perceived as winning, he said. "We have to defeat ISIS. We cant let them continue threatening the rest of the world for years. This is not a threat that is going away. Its growing. Its metastasizing.

He also said the United States has to assume there are sleeper cells inside the country capable of carrying out deadly attacks like the recent ones in Paris.

Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin, a Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told Fox News that he agrees with Obama, who doesnt want a protracted ground campaign in Syria.

The president is right, this is a complicated situation, he continued. Its important that ground support be done by those in the country.

Johnson and Cardin agreed that the U.S. should impose tougher sanction on Iran for failing to make final an agreement to curtail its nuclear enrichment program, which appears to be toward building a nuclear bomb.

Imposing additional sanctions is the only way to bring Iran to the table in good faith, Johnson said.

He also said he had no faith in the Obama administrations ability to negotiate a good deal.
