POLITICO Morning Tax - POLITICO

Even if the Senate can pass the bill, the House GOP leadership has all but dismissed the measure and is insisting on its own short-term bill that would simply extend transportation programs through Dec
As Kurdish-held border crossings fall to Isis, Turkey will find it has a new neighbour of extraordinary violence, and one deeply ungrateful for past favours from the Turkish intelligence service.As for Saudi Arabia, it may come to regret its support for the Sunni revolts in Syria and Iraq as jihadi social media begins to speak of the House of Saud as its next target. More than a billion Sunnis have simply had enough of them." The fatal moment predicted by Prince Bandar may now have come for many Shia, with Saudi Arabia playing an important role in bringing it about by supporting the anti-Shia jihad in Iraq and Syria

The memo does not include the one piece of information many campaigns are most eager to learn: the exact polls that Fox News will consider when determining which candidates makes the top 10. The guidance, obtained by the On Media blog, reiterates the qualification criteria outlined in previous Fox News press releases, and adds logistical and planning details -- down to information about handlers, holding rooms, walk-throughs and credentials

Freddie Gray Is Only the Latest Apparent Victim of Baltimore Police Violence - The Atlantic
In July, "Officer Thomas Schmidt, a 24-year veteran assigned to the Emergency Services unit, was placed on paid administrative leave after police say he held down a Shar-Pei while a fellow officer, Jeffrey Bolger, slit the dog's throat." A month later, a Baltimore police officer plead guilty "to a felony animal cruelty charge after he fatally beat and choked his girlfriend's Jack Russell terrier," an August 5 article noted. The very same year, even one of Baltimore's good cops couldn't escape the horror show of dead animals: "Four investigators from agencies outside Baltimore are working to determine who left a dead rat on the car windshield of an officer who was cooperating with prosecutors on a police brutality case." What about the prior year? There was a murder-suicide, with a policeman killing a firefighter, his girlfriend, and himself
This deal would wet appetite -- would only wet Iran's appetite for more.Would Iran be less aggressive when sanctions are removed and its economy is stronger? If Iran is gobbling up four countries right now while it's under sanctions, how many more countries will Iran devour when sanctions are lifted? Would Iran fund less terrorism when it has mountains of cash with which to fund more terrorism?Why should Iran's radical regime change for the better when it can enjoy the best of both world's: aggression abroad, prosperity at home?This is a question that everyone asks in our region.

How Team Obama Justifies the Killing of a 16-Year-Old American - The Atlantic
There are two remarkable things about the ensuing exchange, which eventually turns into a discussion about a dead 16-year-old kid: First, it's vital for the uninitiated to understand how Team Obama misleads when it talks about its drone program. Of course, both Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan were, at the very least, traitors to their country -- they had both gone to Yemen and taken up with Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, and al-Awlaki had proven himself an expert inciter of those with murderous designs against America and Americans: the rare man of words who could be said to have a body count
