Talk about a massive mug mix-up (pun intended). While President Barack Obama may have World Cup fever, he has not joined the U.K. team despite the fact that his face appears on a commemorative mug for the English soccer squad. Turns out, the souvenirs were made by a "reputable and highly recommended" company in Dorset, this according to Wholesale Clearance U.K., which purchased the mugs after the manufacturing mix-up.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul told conservative activists Friday that hawkish Republicans have mistakenly concluded that U.S. military intervention is a sign of American strength. Paul said at a Faith and Freedom Coalition conference, “[Former President Reagan] believed in strength, but he also believed in peace. Our reluctance to conflict should not be misjudged as a failure of will.” Paul has long been in contrast with many in his party for largely isolationist views on foreign policy. He has been skeptical of using force in Iraq, including airstrikes, to combat militants who have overtaken part of the country. Republicans like Sen. John McCain have argued the militants were emboldened by President Barack Obama’s decision to withdraw troops from Iraq in 2011, and many of the GOP speakers at the conservative conference have slammed Obama for policies they say have diminished America’s standing throughout the world.



Mitt Romney was adamant Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press that he will not run for president in 2016 — but that didn't stop him from slamming the current administration's handling of Iraq and taking a swipe at potential competition Hillary Clinton. Romney said the terror enveloping Iraq is a result of inaction by President Barack Obama. Although Clinton has not announced her candidacy, Republican candidates understand the strong possibility of going head-to-head with her, and they have a game plan.
