WASHINGTON, Aug 24 (Reuters) - Republican U.S. Senator John McCain has chosen to discontinue medical treatment for an aggressive form of brain cancer, his family said in a statement on Friday, a year after the Vietnam War hero announced his prognosis."John has surpassed expectations for his survival," the family said, adding that the disease's progression and McCain's age, 81, had led him to stop treatment for the "aggressive glioblastoma.""With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment," the family said.(Reporting by Timothy Ahmann and Makini Brice; Writing by Lisa Lambert Editing by Jonathan Oatis) 19 PHOTOS John McCain through the years See Gallery John McCain through the years UNITED STATES - FEBRUARY 27: TV RATINGS--Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John McCain, R-Ariz., during hearing on the TV ratings system.

Report indicates Greitens’ campaign lied about donor list
David A. Lieb, Summer Ballentine and Blake Nelson, Associated Press Updated 2:46 pm, Wednesday, May 2, 2018 JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A former campaign aide to Missouri Gov.

The report from a special House investigatory committee indicates that Greitens himself received the donor list of The Mission Continues so he could call key supporters and explain that he was stepping down as CEO in 2014. It says Greitens later directed political aides to work off the charity's list to raise money for his gubernatorial campaign — even though he had signed an agreement never to disclose the charity's confidential donor information. Transcripts of an aide's testimony included with the report also indicate that Greitens' … [Read more...] about Report indicates Greitens’ campaign lied about donor list

Fabian Rodriguez was cradling his new rifle when he stopped at one of the gun-show booths to purchase a $5 chicken fajita MRE.The "Meal Ready to Eat" is a mainstay for troops on combat missions. But Rodriguez, a 28-year-old San Antonio native who sells auto paint for a living, wasn't going anywhere that would require one."I like them," he said. "Well, I like watching reviews of them. That's something people do online, like, open them up and do taste tests."Rodriguez, who wears his handlebar mustache slicked into points and never leaves home without his cowboy boots, had come to the gun show to buy his first AR-15, a variant model of the M-16 and M-4 assault rifles that are used by the military, and currently the most popular rifle on the market.It has been only a few weeks since a 19-year-old was accused of storming into a Florida high school with his AR-15 and shooting 34 people, killing half - the latest in a recent spate of mass shootings by men armed with similar rifles, including … [Read more...] about “I know I don’t need it,” says an AR-15 gun buyer, but that’s not the point
