Lawrence Goldstone: Will Kevin McCarthy give in to the Freedom Caucus?

2 months ago Lowell Sun

But you’re gonna need more than one lesson … and you’re gonna get more than one lesson.”That brings to mind today’s Republican Party. McCarthy, who wanted to be speaker badly enough to get the lead in Faust, will almost certainly give in. The only solution is for McCarthy to defy the fringes of his party and adopt a reasonable conservative agenda. A liberal pundit said recently that Donald Trump is the best thing to happen to the Democratic Party since FDR.

Suspected German coup plot spawns dozens of arrests

Sara Nanni, a lawmaker with the Green party, part of the German government, suggested the group may not have been capable. The Reich Citizens scene has been under observation by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency since 2016. Officers detained 22 German citizens on suspicion of “membership in a terrorist organization,” prosecutors said. Along with detentions in Germany, prosecutors said one person was detained in the Austrian town of Kitzbuehel and another in Italy. “The investigation offers an insight into the depths of the terrorist threat within the Reich Citizens milieu,” Faeser said.

The Column: Stolen valor, or smear campaign?

“STOLEN VALOR” is when people lie about their military status or impersonate military veteransIn the 22nd Middlesex District, some residents believe they have an imposter among them: Democratic candidate Teresa English. English identified this person by name, but The Column has chosen not to name them here. When the messages became incessant and “strange,” English said she stopped communicating with this person because it just wasn’t productive. When specifically asked whether he alluded to English lying during her campaign, Lombardo did point to past reporting on English’s hit-and-run incident from 2003, which he said English lied to voters about. Filling positions has been complicated by an antiquated and understaffed human resources department.

A place to call home: Supportive housing to open soon

“It’s a big need in the city,” said Managing Director Isaiah Stephens, who has been with LTLC for five years. The client-centered emergency shelter, based on Middlesex Street, has provided shelter and care to adults for 35 years. The property was purchased from the Lowell Housing Authority about three years ago, and has undergone mostly cosmetic repairs. In keeping with its supportive housing mission, there is also a standalone room for 24-hour staff. According to Stephens, the Westford Street move-in date is uncertain pending permitting, inspections and other administrative details, but he is positive about the possibilities that lie ahead.

Written in Granite: ‘Girl Power’ alive and well

It’s a lovely tribute, I think, and about time that we honor the accomplishments of historical American women. Here’s another fine example of Girl Power, and it can be found at any one of the many CVS retail pharmacy stores across New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

There’s plenty of room.”And that is the potential of Girl Power.

By every conceivable measure, South Sudan is a nation in crisis. But it’s important to note that the multiple crises facing South Sudan weren’t of its own making. Located along the Nile River, the land that is now Sudan and South Sudan was once part of the ancient Christian Nubian kingdoms. Despite the formation of a unity government in 2020, inter-community violence in South Sudan has increased. The Crisis Group has stated that sanctions on South Sudan must be specific in their targets and time frames, and have clear off-ramps.
