Delaware officials should have closed a damaged interstate bridge sooner and missed opportunities by not having qualified personnel respond quickly to tips about the bridge’s deterioration, the state’s transportation secretary said Thursday.

An internal report released Thursday documents a series of missteps leading up to the June 2 emergency closure of the Interstate 495 bridge in Wilmington. The report says Department of Transportation officials did not respond appropriately to two separate 911 calls, one in April and the other in May, suggesting something was wrong with the bridge. They also took several days to act after receiving an engineer’s warning in May that columns of the 495 bridge over the Christina River appeared to be tilting.   Continue reading “Official: Del. should have closed bridge sooner”

A video has recorded a violent altercation erupting between a man on a New York City subway and police officers, who apparently arrested him for the crime of nodding off while commuting home for work.

The incident occurs at the 57th street station stop in Manhattan in a mostly-empty carriage.

Employers added 288,000 jobs in June and helped cut the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent, the lowest since 2008. It was the fifth straight gain above 200,000 — the best such stretch since the late 1990s tech boom.   Continue reading “June Job Report Shows US Recovery is Accelerating”

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul blasted the White House’s response to a kidnapping and killing of three Israeli teenagers in a strongly worded column designed to highlight his pro-Israel credentials.

Paul, a potential GOP presidential contender who is often leery of interventionist foreign policy, has been highly critical of the more hawkish wing of the GOP, most recently in the debate over what to do in Iraq. But Paul also has been trying to show the Republican establishment that his overall approach to foreign affairs is not out of the mainstream, and his tough rhetoric in the National Review op-ed could be seen as another overture.   Continue reading “Rand Paul Rebukes White House in Pro-Israel Column”
