Brownback tax cuts blamed for slow budget, not growth
A Kansas editorial argues Brownback's 2012 13 tax cuts have produced stubborn deficits and raised deficits despite revenue reports showing mixed results. It notes months of budget shortfalls, downgraded credit ratings, and calls on officials to face reality rather than express surprise each month. It critiques the administration's optimistic framing and urges candor about fiscal impact.

The former vice president assailed the Obama Iran nuclear pact calling it madness and dangerous for U S security. He warned Tehran could launch a nuclear attack and said the agreement strengthens adversaries. The audience clashed with a Code Pink protester while attendees including Wolfowitz Cotton Bachmann and Libby showed mixed support. Critics note Democrats still backing the deal could sustain a veto.

Republican rivals weaponize Iran while Saudi abuses go unchecked
The column argues GOP candidates exaggerate Iran threats to attack the nuclear deal while Saudi Arabia, a long US ally, faces far fewer critiques despite ruling with repression. It notes Saudi abuses, beheadings, and wars in Bahrain, Egypt, Yemen, and ties to 9/11 hijackers, calling for scrutiny of US policy and allies. The piece cites human rights groups and mentions a 2010 arms deal and ongoing arms sales shaping regional power. Medea Benjamin is cited as the source in the closing line.
