Gürsel Erol'un CHP'de Kalma Kararı Herkesi Şaşırttı!

CHP Elazığ Milletvekili Gürsel Erol, son dönemde Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi'nden ayrılan ya da ayrılmayı değerlendiren isimlere ilişkin yazılı açıklama yaptı. Siyasette farklı tercihlerin demokratik sürecin doğal bir parçası olduğunu belirten Erol, farklı karar alan isimlere saygı duyduğunu ifade etti.Partiden ayrılan veya ayrılmayı düşünen birçok isimle geçmişte aynı siyasi mücadelede yer aldığını belirten Erol, ortak geçmişin ve dostlukların siyasi tercihler nedeniyle yok olmayacağını söyledi.Erol, CHP'den ayrılan isimlerle uzun yıllar birlikte siyaset yaptıklarını belirterek, farklı siyasi tercihlere saygı gösterilmesi gerektiğini vurguladı.Erol, "Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi'nde kalmak ne kadar demokratik bir tercihse, farklı bir siyasi oluşumda yer almak da aynı şekilde demokratik bir haktır. Önemli olan, farklı kararlar alırken birbirimize olan saygımızı koruyabilmektir" ifadelerini kullandı.CHP ÇATISINDA KALACAK2018 ve 2023 genel seçimlerinde Elazığ halkının desteğiyle CHP listesinden milletvekili seçildiğini hatırlatan Erol, her iki seçimde de partinin kentteki oylarını artırdıklarını belirtti.Siyasi hayatına CHP çatısı altında devam etme kararı aldığını açıklayan Erol, partisinin kendisi açısından yalnızca bir siyasi oluşum olmadığını söyledi. CHP'nin Cumhuriyet'in kurucu değerlerini ve demokrasi anlayışını temsil eden tarihi bir miras olduğunu ifade eden Erol, partisinin Mustafa Kemal Atatürk tarafından kurulduğuna dikkat çekti.Erol, CHP'nin uzun yıllara dayanan geçmişine vurgu yaparak, "103 yıllık bir çınar; kökleri bağımsızlık mücadelesine, gövdesi Cumhuriyet değerlerine dayanan büyük bir emanettir değerlendirmesinde bulundu. "İNANDIĞIM DEĞERLERİ SAVUNMAYA DEVAM EDECEĞİM"Açıklamasının son bölümünde CHP'ye bağlılığını yineleyen Gürsel Erol, siyasi tercihler nedeniyle farklı yollara girilse dahi toplumsal ve demokratik ortak paydaların korunması gerektiğini belirtti.Erol, "Ben bu emanete sahip çıkmaya, inandığım değerleri yıllardır emek verdiğim yuvada savunmaya devam edeceğim. Çünkü bazen önemli olan yeni bir yol seçmek değil; inandığın ilkelerden vazgeçmeden yürüyebilmektir" dedi.Siyasette farklı tercihler nedeniyle ayrışmalar yaşanabileceğini ancak karşılıklı saygının korunması gerektiğini belirten Erol, Türkiye'nin geleceği söz konusu olduğunda farklı siyasi yollarda bulunan isimlerin yeniden ortak değerler etrafında buluşabileceğine inandığını ifade etti. www.sozcu.com.tr internet sitesinde yayınlanan yazı, haber ve fotoğrafların her türlü telif hakkı Mega Ajans ve Rek.

Tucker Carlson's Bold Remarks on Trump's Investigation Stir Controversy New

Tucker Carlson's Bold Remarks on Trump's Investigation Stir Controversy

Tucker Carlson has questioned President Donald Trump’s handling of the investigation into the July 2024 assassination attempt against him, claiming there are unanswered questions about the shooting and criticizing what he described as a lack of transparency from federal officials.In a preview of an interview with Stephen A. Smith on SiriusXM’s Straight Shooter, Carlson said Trump changed significantly after the shooting at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a gunman opened fire, killing one attendee and injuring Trump and others.“I don’t think Trump was lying before,” Carlson said. “I think something changed him.”Carlson did not provide evidence for what he believes caused the alleged change, but he questioned Trump’s reported approach to the investigation into the shooting and said he believes more information should have been released publicly.“I can’t think of a non-sinister reason for Trump to shut down an investigation into his own attempted murder,” Carlson said....Carlson Questions Butler Shooting InvestigationDuring the interview, Carlson claimed he had pressed FBI officials for additional information about the investigation into the shooting, including questions about the gunman, Thomas Crooks.The former Fox News host said he wanted more information about Crooks’ background, including his communications, online activity and training history.“I pushed them really hard,” Carlson said, referring to conversations he said he had with FBI officials. “Why can’t we see this information?”Carlson claimed Trump directed officials to stop releasing additional information about the investigation after concluding that Crooks acted alone.Newsweek has not independently verified Carlson’s claims about Trump’s involvement in decisions regarding the release of investigative information.Federal investigators have previously said Crooks acted alone in the shooting, though questions about the attacker’s motive and background have remained a focus of public interest.Carlson Says Trump Changed After Assassination AttemptCarlson also discussed his changing views of Trump, saying he once strongly opposed him before becoming one of his prominent supporters.“I was wrong,” Carlson said when asked about his shift in views.He said he initially viewed Trump as an outsider challenging both Republican and Democratic leadership, but argued that something changed after the Butler shooting.“Somewhere along the line after that Butler shooting in July of 2024, he changed 180 degrees and started doing things that he ran against doing,” Carlson said.When pressed by Smith on what caused that change, Carlson said he did not know.“I don’t know,” Carlson said. “And if I did, I would say it instantly.”Carlson Accuses Ted Cruz of ExtremismThe interview also covered Carlson’s decision to interview controversial figures, including Nick Fuentes, and whether giving a platform to extremist voices risks normalizing them.Carlson rejected that criticism and argued that mainstream political figures should also face scrutiny.He singled out Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, calling him “one of the most extreme human beings I’ve ever met.”Carlson accused Cruz of supporting policies that he said harmed civilians and later called him a “murderer,” saying Cruz had “blood on his hands.”When Smith questioned the accusation, Carlson defended the statement.“Well, it’s true,” Carlson said. “Ted Cruz is calling for the killing of innocents and funding it.”Cruz has not publicly responded to Carlson’s comments.Interview Comes Amid Broader Debate Over Trump InvestigationsCarlson’s comments come as scrutiny continues over the July 2024 shooting and questions about the transparency of investigations involving political violence.The Butler shooting investigation has been examined by federal agencies and congressional lawmakers, with officials reviewing security failures and the circumstances that allowed the gunman to access a rooftop position near the rally site.Carlson’s comments have renewed debate among Trump supporters and critics over how much information should be released publicly and what role political leaders should play in ongoing investigations.

Delfina Gómez sorprende con su humildad y resultados en Edomex New

Delfina Gómez sorprende con su humildad y resultados en Edomex

La presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo destacó el trabajo de la gobernadora mexiquense Delfina Gómez Álvarez (Morena), ya que “ella no se marea”.En la conferencia en Toluca, Estado de México, dijo que a diferencia de otros mandatarios, la maestra Delfina no anda en “camionetotas”, y mantiene la humildad. “Delfina tiene muchas virtudes, muchas. Es una mujer honesta, muy trabajadora y tiene algo muy especial: Ella no se marea. Hay algunos gobernantes que llegan al puesto y ya andan con camionetotas”, afirmó. “No, Delfina, no. Delfina, si algo le agradece el pueblo mexiense es que es la misma maestra de cuando daba clases en su escuela, con más responsabilidades y las asume, pero ella es una mujer sencilla que atiende todos los días, al más humilde y también al empresario más importante del Estado de México. Esa es una virtud que pocos gobernantes tienen”, aseguró.La presidenta Sheinbaum Pardo dijo que se está recuperando el Estado de México, después de qué llegó la alternancia, ya que antes gobernaba el PRI.“Ahora, el Estado de México tuvo muchos años de abandono, demasiados. Corrupción y abandono. Y tres años apenas comienza a verse en seguridad, ya se notan resultados. Pero hay muchas zonas, pues que todavía requieren muchísimo trabajo. Y lo que tienen la certeza, pues es que Delfina está trabajando todos los días por su pueblo”, señaló.“Bueno, hay muchos retos. En el Estado de México hay retos que tienen que ver desde la pavimentación, las banquetas, las luminarias en los municipios, la limpieza, o sea, desde lo más básico que tienen que hacer los presidentes municipales que se va avanzando en la mayoría de ellos, hasta temas más complejos como tener un sistema de salud que atienda a los 18 millones de habitantes”, expresó.

Why House Dems Are Rejecting the Balanced Budget Amendment New

Why House Dems Are Rejecting the Balanced Budget Amendment

The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday rejected legislation that would require the federal government to maintain a balanced budget, dealing a setback to a long-standing goal of fiscal conservatives.Lawmakers voted 211-207 against the resolution, which would have begun the process of amending the Constitution to prohibit deficit spending.The measure required a two-thirds majority in both chambers of Congress before being sent to the states for ratification.Nearly every Democrat opposed the proposal, with only one voting in favor.The amendment effort faced significant challenges from the start, given the high threshold required for passage.Advertisement Despite the outcome, the vote was significant for budget hawks, including the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz. He said the effort reflects years of advocacy among conservatives pushing for stricter fiscal controls.“Many of us have been agitating for years to do a balanced budget amendment, and out of the blue, they said, ‘we’re ready to do it,’” Biggs said in an interview.“They didn’t ask me to do anything, didn’t offer anything,” he said, referring to House GOP leadership. “Just out of the blue, I got a call,” Biggs added.Balanced budget amendments have been introduced more than 100 times since 1999, according to legislative data analyzed by the Pew Research Center.The concept saw its peak in the 1970s and 1980s and remains one of the most frequently proposed constitutional changes.Biggs’ proposal would have required that federal spending in a given year not exceed the average annual revenue collected over the previous three years, adjusted for inflation and population growth.The resolution included an exception for times of declared war, allowing Congress to approve spending beyond the cap.Modern military conflicts, including those following World War II, have typically funded themselves through deficit spending without formal declarations of war.That reality has complicated past efforts to impose strict balanced budget requirements.The proposal also sought to impose a two-thirds vote requirement in both the House and Senate for any new taxes or tax increases.Current law allows tax legislation to pass with a simple majority under certain procedures, including budget reconciliation.While the measure fell short, it underscores continued divisions in Congress over fiscal policy and the role of deficit spending in federal governance.Supporters argue that a balanced-budget requirement would impose discipline on federal spending, while opponents warn that it could limit the government’s ability to respond to economic downturns or emergencies.The House passed legislation Wednesday aimed at cracking down on illegal immigrants accused of welfare fraud, approving the measure despite strong opposition from most Democrats.Lawmakers voted 231-186 to pass the Deporting Fraudsters Act, with 186 Democrats voting against it. The bill was introduced by Rep. David Taylor, R-Ohio.The legislation would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to explicitly classify fraud involving public benefits as a deportable offense.Republicans said the measure is designed to ensure that noncitizens who defraud taxpayer-funded programs are removed from the country and barred from returning.“If you admit to or you’re convicted of fraudulently receiving public benefits, you are out of here on the next plane and can never return,” Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., said during debate on the House floor.Democrats largely opposed the bill, arguing that existing law already allows for the deportation of noncitizens convicted of fraud. They characterized the legislation as unnecessary and duplicative.Republicans pushed back on that claim, saying the bill does not prevent criminal prosecution before removal and maintains existing legal processes.GOP lawmakers argued that the measure strengthens enforcement by closing perceived loopholes.The U.S. House recently passed the Save America Act, again putting the pressire on the Senate.This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.

Harcamaların valilikler ile İçişleri Bakanlığı denetiminde olduğunu belirten Levent, Yeliz Kaya'ya aktarılan paranın ise Ahbap'a devretmek istediği taşınmazlarla ilgili olduğunu öne sürdü.

Seniors to Benefit from New Tax Break: What You Need to Know New

Seniors to Benefit from New Tax Break: What You Need to Know

The first major piece of legislation the GOP congressional majority passed and President Donald Trump signed last year, during his first months back in office, was a bill to make their 2017 tax cuts permanent.Every Democrat voted against the measure even though the cuts benefited the vast majority of Americans.Now, the administration is touting another benefit for Americans 65 and older ahead of next year’s tax filing deadline.A significant, though temporary, tax change for older Americans comes in the form of a new benefit known as the “senior bonus deduction.”Advertisement Included in the 2025 tax legislation, the provision is intended to provide additional tax relief for retirees and older taxpayers.While the concept of a new deduction may seem straightforward, it has raised questions about who qualifies and how the deduction is applied, the Kiplinger Letter noted this week.For example, taxpayers who are 65 or older and typically itemize their deductions may wonder if they can also benefit from the new senior bonus deduction.Fortunately, the new deduction is highly flexible, noted the outlet.Most taxpayers who claim the standard deduction can also take advantage of the senior bonus deduction in addition to the extra standard deduction available to those age 65 and older.Taxpayers who choose to itemize their deductions are also eligible to claim the bonus.“This bonus allows taxpayers age 65 and older to claim an additional deduction — up to $6,000 for singles, or $12,000 for married couples when both spouses qualify,” Kiplinger noted, adding some “key points” about the benefit: You must be 65 or older by December 31, 2025. The bonus amount tops out at $6,000 for individuals and $12,000 for married couples when both spouses are 65 and older. This deduction phases out above a certain income level: Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) of $75,000 for singles and $150,000 for those married, filing jointly. It phases out completely for MAGI above $175,000 and $250,000, respectively. The IRS says you must “include the Social Security Number of the qualifying individual(s) on the return, and file jointly if married, to claim the deduction.” Because the deduction is available whether you itemize or claim the standard deduction, it can benefit taxpayers who have enough deductible expenses to itemize while still providing an additional opportunity to reduce their taxable income.But all said, the benefit is temporary, set to expire after the 2028 tax season unless it is renewed by Congress, Kiplinger noted.Trump signed the legislation, known as the “Big, Beautiful Bill” on July 4, 2025.Earlier this month, to mark the occasion ahead of the nation’s 250th birthday, the White House put out a press release touting the legislation’s accomplishments.“The success of President Trump’s widely popular tax breaks, like No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, No Tax on Social Security and Made in America Car-Loan deductions, is undeniable,” the statement said.“A look at the first-year’s results shows that nearly 70% of filers who received a tax cut earned less than $100,000,” it added.The release also included several things the legislation achieved: Millions of Americans received historic tax refunds this tax season with the average refund exceeding $3,400 — an 11% increase from last year. American families and workers claimed $82 billion in direct tax relief, with 97% of filers receiving a tax cut. More than 29 million workers claimed the No Tax on Overtime deduction with an average deduction of over $3,100. More than 35 million seniors have claimed No Tax on Social Security with an average deduction of over $7,500.  Nearly 8 million workers claimed No Tax on Tips with an average deduction of over $7,000.  Over 1.4 million filers have claimed No Tax on Made-in-America Car Loan Interest with an average deduction of over $1,800.  Nearly 40 million families claimed the enhanced Child Tax Credit. Nearly 6 million Trump Accounts have been opened, with 1.4 million eligible for the $1,000 pilot program contribution. This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
