Britain‘s parliament has inflicted a humiliating defeat on Boris Johnson days after he returned from Brussels with a deal aimed at ending the Brexit deadlock ahead of the October 31 deadline for the UK to quit the European Union. Reflecting fears among MPs that the prime minister may have sought to engineer withdrawal without a deal – which economists say would be disastrous – they voted by 322 to 306 to withhold backing for his plans on Saturday.  Johnson later sent the…

The cartel gunmen who seized control of the Mexican city of Culiacan on Thursday made two things clear: The Sinaloa cartel is stronger than ever, and bringing peace to Mexico is going to take more than bringing down one man.

London – Members of Britain’s Parliament passed an amendment Saturday that seemingly forces U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government to ask the EU for an extension to the current October 31 Brexit deadline. Under U.K. law, Johnson is required to either get his deal approved today or seek an extension from the European Union to that end-of-October date. “I will not negotiate a delay, nor does the law force me…

He added, “We found out that they think if Trump does it, it’s normal — get over it.” The underlying tether that Mr. Trump is using to keep Mr. Mulvaney close, some advisers and former aides say, is a recognition that his scorched-earth farewells to other senior officials have left a number of them willing to tell secrets about what they saw while they served him.

Ms. Gabbard is averaging less than 1 percent in the polls but qualified for this week’s Democratic debate, where she promoted her noninterventionist foreign policy platform and attacked the news media for what she said was bias against her. Mrs. Clinton made her initial allegation on a podcast hosted by David Plouffe, a former aide to President Barack Obama. “I’m not making any predictions,” she said, “but I think they’ve…
