The widow of a Navy Seal killed in Yemen received a standing ovation and the biggest applause of the night during President Donald Trump‘s address to a join session of Congress on Tuesday.
Carryn Owens, the widow of U.S. Navy Special Operator Senior Chief William “Ryan” Owens, had tears streaming down her face and looked to the sky as the president spoke about her husband, who was killed during a raid on al Qaeda militants in Yemen on Jan. 28. He was 36 years old.
“We are blessed to be joined tonight by Carryn Owens, the widow of a U.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday made his first Address to Congress, announcing a “new chapter of American greatness” — while upholding the grand tradition of televised awkwardness.

To the president’s credit, the man speaking before Congress on Tuesday was a softer, more conciliatory Trump than we’re used to seeing. As NBC’s Chuck Todd noted immediately following the address, “We have not seen him deliver a speech like this before.”
But that doesn’t mean there weren’t plenty of moments during Trump’s speech — which focused primarily on immigration,...

The topic of ex-gay camps or “gay reparative therapy” is the intelligent design to the gay movement’s evolution. Supported by suspicious science, poor statistics and the religious right, this “treatment” of homosexuality is foolhardy at best and malicious at worst.
But what’s the media to do when it comes to reporting on the topic? It depends who you ask. Gay rights advocates, like scientists who study evolution, would rather the media completely ignore the fringes: don’t talk about it and it’ll go away. Reporting it only gives it credibility.
Yet there’s another side. Dozens of groups, local and national, provide such services, and many would argue the media’s job is not to report what they deem ethically right, but to cover any phenomenon no matter how illegitimate others deem it. This is the route much of the media has taken when it comes to ex-gays,...

New York -- With the second big hurricane in two weeks set to hit the Gulf Coast, the networks are sending a number of correspondents and producers to Texas to cover Hurricane Ike.
So far there's no move to send the Big Three anchors, who left the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., for New Orleans when it looked like Hurricane Gustav was going to inflict massive damage on a region that was just getting its footing three years after Katrina.
Gustav didn't.
ABC's Charles Gibson is in Alaska, spending Thursday and Friday interviewing vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. There's no word on NBC's Brian Williams or CBS's Katie Couric. CNN's Anderson Cooper was to anchor "AC 360" beginning Thursday night. Fox News said anchor Shepard Smith, who was in the Gulf for Hurricane Gustav as well as Katrina, would stay in New York but anchor late-night coverage Friday.
