President Donald Trump and the top Republican tax-writer in Congress, House and Ways Means Chair Kevin Brady of Texas, conceded on Wednesday there was zero chance that middle-class Americans will see their taxes cut this year.It was the first time the White House had returned to a last-ditch campaign promise since the President made the pledge at a rally in Nevada almost two weeks ago. The statement effectively closed the door on any chance of pushing through a tax cut this year.Even as Trump has crisscrossed the country this week stumping for GOP members in the run-up to next Tuesday's midterm elections, he has been noticeably mute on the issue."We are committed to delivering an additional 10 percent tax cut to middle-class workers across the country," the two men said in a joint statement released by the White House. "And we intend to take swift action on this legislation at the start of the 116th Congress."The joint statement appeared to rule out any chance that legislation could be taken up during the lame duck session when lawmakers return to Washington after the elections. 1108

President Donald Trump is shifting his story about the Stormy Daniels controversy following the revelation by his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, that the President reimbursed a payment to the adult film actress by Michael Cohen.Trump -- who previously said he was not aware of the 0,000 Cohen paid to Daniels before the 2016 election in an effort to keep her quiet about an alleged affair between her and the President -- denied on Thursday that any campaign money was used to reimburse Cohen and said he was paid via retainer. The payment has prompted complaints to the Justice Department and Federal Election Commission over potential violations of campaign finance law. 675

President Donald Trump has been in office a little over a year now, but according to a survey from The New York Times, that's enough time for the sitting president to be ranked the worst in history.The 2018 Presidents & Executive Politics Presidential Greatness Survey ranked all 44 presidents in the history of the United States.Trump ranked at the bottom of the list, bumping James Buchanan, the president who played a key role in the Civil War, up to 43. Abraham Lincoln ranked first overall in the survey, which was the same as his ranking in the 2014 survey.The survey respondents were current and recent members of the President and Executive Politics Section of the American Political Science Association. Both Democratic scholars and Independents had Lincoln as their top president. Republican scholars ranked Washington as first and Lincoln as second. Democrats ranked Trump as 44th, Independents ranked him as 43rd, and Republicans ranked him as 40th.A few presidents' rankings shifted since the last survey in 2014. Barack Obama moved up from 18th to 8th.Bill Clinton's ranking plummeted from 8th to 13th and Andrew Jackson moved down 6 spots.The top 10 presidents: 1213

President Donald Trump has found one part of the federal health law palatable: He's allowing Obamacare rules that require chain restaurants to post calorie counts to go into effect Monday.The rules, which are among the final pieces of the 2010 Affordable Care Act to be implemented, require restaurants to list calories on all menus and menu boards. Restaurants will also have to provide on-site additional nutritional information, such as fat and sodium levels.The law, intended to nudge Americans to eat healthier, applies to chains with at least 20 stores.And it won't be just fast-food and sit-down restaurants that are affected. Grocers, convenience stores, movie theaters, pizza delivery companies and even vending machines must meet the new requirements to display calories.The menu labeling rules will improve public health, the Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said last week in an interview. He pointed to studies showing that enlightened customers order, on average, up to 50 fewer calories a day.While that equates to the calories in a small cookie, Gottlieb says, the impact compounded over weeks and months can deliver a large benefit."This is a meaningful, incremental step in addressing" the country's obesity epidemic, he says.Seeking to alleviate retailers' concerns, the FDA delayed implementing the rules several times to give the food industry time to comply after finalizing the menu-labeling rule in 2013.The provisions are supported by consumer advocates and the National Restaurant Association, which wanted to avoid catering to a hodgepodge of requirements from cities and states.But some food industry groups and retailers say they still don't have all the answers and worry the rules will place an undue burden on shop owners.The National Association of Convenience Stores expressed reservations about how its members will comply."Convenience retailers will welcome any flexibility the FDA may be able to provide in order to comply with this onerous rule," says spokesman Jon Taets.Conservatives in Congress also have repeatedly lashed out at the provisions, with the House passing a bill earlier this year that would modify them. The Senate has not acted on that legislation.Even as the provisions go into effect, the FDA announced that over the course of the next year officials will seek to educate the industry about meeting the new rules, rather than enforcing them.Many restaurant chains, including McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell and Panera Bread, have listed calorie information for years. But some, including Legal Sea Foods and the Melting Pot, have not yet added the information. Officials for the Melting Pot say they plan to have nutritional information posted by the end of the month. Legal Sea Foods did not return calls for comment."Americans deserve to know what they're getting when ordering for themselves and their families at chain restaurants, supermarkets and other food retailers," says Margo Wootan, vice president for nutrition for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer advocacy group. "Menu labeling isn't a silver bullet. It's just one of dozens of things we should be doing to help Americans maintain a healthy weight and reduce their risk of diet-related health problems like diabetes, heart disease and cancer."But others see the issue differently.Daren Bakst, a fellow with the conservative Heritage Foundation, says the law equates to government overreach."It's not up to the government to influence what people eat -- that should be left up to each individual," he says.Bakst says he likes having nutritional information on foods he buys but opposes the government mandate for retailers."Plenty of restaurants will be hurt by compliance costs," he says.Yet many restaurants say they are ready."This date is long overdue," says Cicely Simpson, an executive vice president at the National Restaurant Association. Most chains don't see the calorie information postings as hurting overall sales. Yet, she says, the information will lead some consumers to switch the foods they choose.She says the FDA has been flexible with the industry, including efforts to clarify that promotional signs and flyers in stores are not the same as menus and don't have to include calorie information.Domino's Pizza spokesman Tim McIntyre says his company has concerns about how its franchises will meet these requirements but is confident the changes won't increase prices for consumers.The pizza delivery company hopes the FDA will allow it to meet the provisions by posting nutritional information on its website as it has done for years, rather than on menu boards, he says. The company says 90 percent of orders are placed by phone or internet, and with hundreds of pizza combinations and sizes it would be difficult to list nutritional info for each one on a menu.McIntyre says the menu labeling rules were meant to give consumers calorie information at the point where they are ordering. For pizza delivery companies that is rarely inside the store, he noted."All we are asking for is common-sense approach to put this information where people are ... and we believe the internet is where people are going to go to get this information," he says. The FDA has put out thousands of pages of guidance to help restaurants and other food providers comply with the law, such as helping grocery stores decide where to put information on salad bars. Under FDA guidance, if pizza delivery stores don't have menu boards, they don't have to add any under the law.Gottlieb says he frequently uses restaurant's calorie information on signs when ordering food. "I admittedly occasionally go to fast-food restaurants and take into consideration the calories," he says. "I used to go to McDonald's time to time to order an Egg McMuffin, but now I go for the Egg White Delight."According to McDonald's, an Egg McMuffin is 300 calories while the Egg White Delight is 280 calories.  5970

Pope Francis has declared that the death penalty is never admissible and that the Catholic Church will work towards its abolition around the world, the Vatican formally announced Thursday.The change, which has been added to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, makes official a position that the Pope has articulated since he became pontiff.The Church now teaches that "the death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person" and states that it will "work with determination towards its abolition worldwide," the Vatican said.The Catholic Church's teaching on the death penalty has been slowly evolving since the time of Pope John Paul II, who served from 1978 to 2005.In his Christmas message in 1998, he wished "the world the consensus concerning the need for urgent and adequate measures ... to end the death penalty."His successor Benedict XVI, in a document published in November 2011, called on society's leaders "to make every effort to eliminate the death penalty."Francis then wrote in a letter to the President of the International Commission Against the Death Penalty in March 2015 that "today capital punishment is unacceptable, however serious the condemned's crime may have been."He added that the death penalty "entails cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment" and said it was to be rejected "due to the defective selectivity of the criminal justice system and in the face of the possibility of judicial error."Vatican spokesman Greg Burke told CNN that the change was important but should not come as a surprise."It was expected for a long time starting with John Paul II," he said. "He had a document, the Gospel of Life, in which he said it is essentially the conditions with which were once considered okay for allowing the death penalty, have basically disappeared."The key point here is really human dignity, the Pope is saying that no matter how grievous the crime, someone never loses his or her human dignity. One of the rationales for the death penalty in Catholic teachings historically was to protect society."Obviously, the state still has that obligation, that is not being taken away here, but they can do that in other ways." 2215
