      ‘Reject Rex’: Resistance to Trump’s secretary of state pick heats up at 11th hour

      Environmentalists are mobilizing against President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination for secretary of state, ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson, in the hours leading up to his Senate confirmation hearing Wednesday. A collection of green and liberal organizations — including Greenpeace USA and Oil Change International — projected “Reject Rex” and similar messages on the side of the Harry S. Truman Building, the headquarters of the State Department, in Washington, D.C., on Monday night. Naomi Ages, the climate liability campaigner for Greenpeace USA, said it’s ridiculous that the chief executive of an oil company would be selected to succeed John Kerry as secretary of state, the chief diplomat representing the interests of the American people around the world.

      Repo agent gets surprise prison term in chase, deadly crash

      A Utah repossession agent accused of chasing a woman whose car he was trying to take back and forcing her off the road, leading to a deadly crash, received a surprise sentence after a judge deviated from a plea deal that called for no prison time. Kenneth Drew, 50, had pleaded guilty to manslaughter in an agreement with prosecutors, who recommended a year in jail and probation, The Daily Herald newspaper in Provo reported (http://bit.ly/2igbpfl ). Instead, Judge Robert Lunnen on Tuesday ordered Drew to serve one to 15 years in prison in the death last year of Ashleigh Best, 35.

      'People's traitor' named Germany's worst word of 2016

      A panel of German language experts on Tuesday chose "Volksverraeter" (traitor to the people) as the worst word of 2016, saying the term often used by right-wing activists to insult mainstream politicians had Nazi connotations. Chancellor Angela Merkel and Vice-Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel have both been labelled "Volksverraeter" by far-right hecklers over the government's liberal refugee policy that has seen more than a million asylum seekers arrive since 2015. The term is heavily loaded in Germany, where it evokes memories of Adolf Hitler and his henchmen going after those they labelled enemies of the nation.

      U.S. says might not shoot down North Korean ICBM, eying intel

      By Phil Stewart and Idrees Ali WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military might monitor a North Korean intercontinental ballistic missile test and gather intelligence rather than destroy it, as long as the launch did not pose a threat, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said on Tuesday. North Korea declared on Sunday it could test-launch an ICBM at any time from any location set by leader Kim Jong Un, saying a hostile U.S. policy was to blame for its arms development. If it's not threatening, we won't necessarily do so," Carter said in his final news briefing before President Barack Obama's administration leaves office on Jan. 20.

      U.S. Destroyer Fires Warning Shots at Iranian Patrol Boats

      A guided missile destroyer on patrol in the Persian Gulf fired warning shots at Iranian patrol boats that ventured too close. The crew of the USS Mahan fired several shots from a heavy machine gun toward the armed Iranian boats, forcing them to break off a high speed run. The USS Mahan was passing through the Strait of Hormuz when four heavily-armed fast inshore attack craft (FIAC) made a high speed run towards the destroyer.

      ‘No Safe Place’: Targeted by the Taliban, America’s Afghan allies struggle to make a new life in U.S.

      Last month, President Obama signed his last federal defense budget for 2017, which included a provision to extend a program that provides Special Immigrant Visas to Afghan nationals who provided assistance to U.S. troops and now face retaliation from the Taliban. Last summer, spearheaded by photojournalist Renée C. Byer, the Sacramento Bee published a powerful series documenting the dismal living conditions of Afghan SIV holders in Sacramento, who've escaped the Taliban only to come face-to-face with a threadbare resettlement system that's left them desperate, disillusioned, and in some cases, suicidal in the States.

      Fox News quietly settled with former host who accused Bill O’Reilly of sexual harassment

      Around the time Fox News was settling an explosive lawsuit with former host Gretchen Carlson accusing ex-CEO Roger Ailes of sexual harassment, the top-rated cable news network quietly settled with another former host who reportedly accused one of its biggest stars, Bill O’Reilly, of sexual harassment. According to the website, the letter alleges that O’Reilly propositioned Huddy on numerous occasions, frequently made sexually charged comments to her and once tried to kiss her when she visited his Long Island home.
