Supreme Court sides with Obama in Israeli dispute Richard Wolf USA TODAY WASHINGTON The Supreme Court declined Monday to insert itself into the middle of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by second-guessing U.S. policy on Jerusalem. Ruling a few months after an open feud between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the justices refused to allow Americans born in Jerusalem to have their passports changed to reflect Israel as their birthplace, as Congress demanded over a decade ago. In denying the challenge waged by the Jewish parents of Menachem Zivotofsky, 12, the court heeded the State Department warning that a simple passport alteration could “provoke uproar throughout the Arab and Muslim world.” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the 6-3 decision for the court, which needed more than seven months after oral arguments in early November to decide the congressional law was unconstitutional. “The power to recognize or CAROLYN KASTER, AP The parents of Menachem Zivotofsky challenged passport policy. decline to recognize a foreign state and its territorial bounds resides in the president alone,” Kennedy said, citing examples from the French Revolution in 1793 to President Carter’s recognition of the People’s Republic of China in 1979. “Recognition is an act with immediate and powerful significance for international relations, so the president’s position must be clear. Congress cannot require him to contradict his own statement regarding a determination of formal recognition.” Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito dissented. They sided with Congress, which passed a law in 2002 allowing Americans born in Jerusalem to have Israel listed as their place of birth on their passports. “Today’s decision is a first,” Roberts said. “Never before has this court accepted a president’s direct defiance of an act of Congress in the field of foreign affairs.” He said the court was bowing to fears that the congressional law could be misinterpreted as changing U.S. foreign policy, rather than simply allowing citizens to define their place of birth. Scalia argued that the ruling establishes “a principle that the nation must have a single foreign policy, which elevates efficiency above the test and structure of the Constitution.” He said that would “systematically favor the president at the expense of Congress.” Justice Clarence Thomas agreed that Congress cannot circumvent the president on passports but argued that the law can be applied to consular reports of birth abroad. GARMISCH - PARTENKIRCHEN, GERMANY President Obama said Monday his administration is working on ways to accelerate the training of Iraqi security forces, whose recent setback against the Islamic State prompted criticism of Obama’s strategy for defeating the militant group. “One of the areas where we are going to have to improve is the speed at which we’re training Iraqi forces,” Obama said at a briefing here after the conclusion of the Group of Seven summit of major industrialized democracies. “We’re reviewing a range of plans for how we might do that.” Obama did not address whether that could result in an increase in the number of U.S. troops in Iraq, but he didn’t rule it out. On Sunday, British Prime Minister David Cameron said the United Kingdom would send 125 more military trainers to Iraq, increasing its contingent to 200. “What is fair to say is that all the countries in the international coalition are prepared to do more to train Iraqi security forces,” the president said. Obama said that in return for additional coalition training, the Shiite-dominated government of Iraqi Prime Minister Haider alAbadi would have to take a number of steps, including greater outreach to Sunni tribes. Many tribes have been fighting the militants but complain of a lack of support from Iraq’s government. Obama cited the alliance of Sunni tribes in 2006, which helped U.S. troops drive al-Qaeda from Ramadi and other parts of the surrounding Anbar province. The Islamic State’s recent capture of Ramadi, a key city in the Sunni heartland, prompted a reconsideration of the administration’s strategy in Iraq. The U.S. has about 3,000 troops in Iraq, including about 650 trainers and advisers. Obama has set tight limits on a military role to avoid a return to combat by U.S. troops, who withdrew in 2011 after eight years of war. After meeting with Obama here Monday, al-Abadi repeated his request for global assistance. Michaels reported from Washington Moist May a milestone month in the USA Doyle Rice USA TODAY Fueled by colossal rainfall totals in the nation’s midsection, May was the wettest month ever recorded in U.S. history, the National Centers for Environmental Information said Monday. Of the 1,445 months since U.S. weather records began in January 1895, May was the soggiest single month. More than 20 states in the Plains and Midwest were wetter than average in May and were responsible for the record, even though most states along the East Coast were drier than normal.

This is an average of all the precipitation measurements across the country for the month. The heavy rain in the southern Plains skewed the national precipitation ranking to such a degree that even the dry East and West coasts couldn’t lower the average, the report said. “The majority of the precipitation fell in the southern Plains,” said Jake Crouch, a climate scientist with the information center. “This shows how a regional event can affect national statistics.” Both Texas and Oklahoma had their wettest months on record, ending the drought in each state but causing deadly flooding. “The disaster of the floods ended the catastrophe of the drought,” Crouch said. The statewide average rainfall in Oklahoma in May was 14.06 inches, the information center reported. Colorado had a record wet May, but not its wettest single month on record. Meanwhile, seven states from the Southeast to New England had May rain totals far below average, but none set a record. Crouch said the wet May stems in part from El Niño, the climate pattern that tends to bring rain across the nation’s southern tier. He said there is no apparent trend to the top wettest months, as they’re scattered throughout the historical record. The secondwettest month was October 2009.

DINING The regular menu has some familiar pub items but where Tropics Ale House takes it to the next level is by making everything with fresh, local ingredients from scratch. The jalapeño poppers are made using local jalapeños, daily deliveries of fresh fish are used in the poke (raw fish) appetizer and for the popular fish tacos. Each pizza is hand-tossed to order. Taking Flight with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters 99 Kaulele Pl 808-831-8800 Matsumoto’s Shave Ice is Serving Up a New Twist on an Island Classic I was treated to an unbeatable bird’s-eye view of the glistening sands of Waikiki, the protected marine preserve of Hanauma Bay, wondrous Waimanalo Beach, and more. Chinaman’s Hat was enchanting, Sacred Falls served a feast for my eyes and heart, Kaneohe Bay captivated, Diamond Head crater was a delight, and the coastline of Oahu’s fabled North Shore swept me up in its picturesque, fairy tale tides. Snorkeling at Pupukea Beach Park “What is the one thing not to miss at Mauna Kea Beach Hotel?” I asked Vicky Kometani, PR Director. “It’s not so much a thing as a feeling,” she replies. “We hear this all the time: No place has the soul that Mauna Kea has.” I can understand why. Mauna Kea Beach Hotel was the very first resort on Hawaii Island and the most expensive resort ever built at its inception. The result has been a timeless oasis where generations have made their memories. July 24, 2015 marked the 50th anniversary of Mauna Kea Beach Hotel’s grand opening. DISCOVER 69-1022 Keana Place in Waikoloa. Open daily from 11 a.m. until midnight. World famous airman Wilbur Wright once described flying as being, “the sensation of perfect peace mingled with an excitement that strains every nerve to the utmost.” This is exactly what I experienced when I escaped the hustle and bustle of the everyday and took to the skies on a Blue Hawaiian Helicopters tour. One of the highlights is that I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pay my respects while literally hovering over the hallowed waters of historical Pearl Harbor, the Arizona Memorial and the Battleship Missouri, where countless men and women gave their lives in service. I, along with my fellow passengers, were rendered speechless, each pausing as the moment of experiencing the site so closely literally took our breath away. the island. With a view of the golf course, happy hour drink and food specials every day from 3 to 6 p.m., and a delicious menu of fresh items (almost nothing is frozen), this place has quickly become an area favorite since it opened in July 2014. Hawaiian Sunrise Shells are a beautiful sight to behold. Each one has unique splashes of pink, red, orange, yellow and purple shades, akin to what you would see during an actual Hawaiian sunrise. In fact, it is speculated that their common name may have arisen because of this asset or perhaps because they were once abundantly found on the shorelines in locations like Ke‘e Beach on Kauai at sunrise. A Hawai‘i landmark, now famous for its delicious niche of novelty shave ice, Matsumoto’s Shave Ice has been a steadfast staple of Hale‘iwa town for 64 years.

Obamacare, despite being a nice try, has too many escape clauses for companies to exploit, and out-of-pocket expenses are making the coverage useless in any practical sense.
