北京铁警刘鹏颐：春运路上的“守护人”******
中新网北京1月12日电 (邓有林)1月11日，春运第5天，北京南站乘车旅客明显增多。在北京南站东落客区的进口外，温度低至零下，天刚微亮，刘鹏颐和同事就走上岗位，他们穿着厚实的冬执勤服，认真地对进站旅客进行身份核查。
期间，一名老人行动不便需要坐轮椅进站，刘鹏颐见状马上小跑过去，帮助家属将老人从爱心通道护送进候车大厅。
刘鹏颐今年35岁，是北京铁路公安处北京南站派出所执勤警务一队队长。今年是他参加公安工作的第11个年头，他也将在岗位上度过第5个春节。

候车大厅东侧有一间警务室，执勤民警办公休息都在这里。“刘队年轻，有责任心，工作时他都在站区一遍遍地巡逻巡视，总有使不完的劲”，执勤一队队员陈晨和刘鹏颐年龄相仿，平日里工作搭档默契，在他心里，刘鹏颐是朋友也是榜样。
中午时分，派出所食堂将盒饭送到了执勤室，刘鹏颐是最后一个回来吃饭的。他坐下的第一件事是从腰间取下电台放在桌前，方便有警情时能第一时间回应出警。执勤室里没有多余的杂物，办公桌内侧整齐地摆着一排正在充电的电台。饭吃到一半，电台里传来警情，一个小男孩在站区和家人走散了，刘鹏颐放下饭盒，拿起电台一边询问孩子的衣着特征，一边快速走出了执勤室。
“春运车站旅客多，小孩调皮，父母稍不留意就会走散了”，这样的求助警情时有发生，刘鹏颐处理起来游刃有余，他先联系了车站广播，发动旅客帮助寻找，然后又部署队员分头行动，重点留意卫生间和商铺，很快孩子就找到了。
火车站不同于其他公共场所，旅客丢了行李，有家人走散了，如果不能尽快帮助他们找回来，就会耽误行程。为此，刘鹏颐工作中一直坚持两个信条，接警要快，处警要准。快源自于责任心，准靠的是长此以往的工作经验。

作为派出所执勤警务一队队长，刘鹏颐深知表率作用的重要性，工作总是干在前、冲在先。
2022年，在他的带领下，全队共抓获网逃15人，位居全所第一。“百日行动”期间，他和同事陈晨在北京南站东进站口巡视时，查获了一名被公安机关网上通缉的在逃人员张某。通过审查，张某交代，他准备乘坐高铁前往安徽，还约好了程某和刘某一同前往。随后，按照张某的指认，刘鹏颐在站区找到了程某和刘某。经查，三人均因涉嫌严重扰乱公共场所秩序被安徽警方上网通缉。
“百日行动”后，刘鹏颐被授予个人三等功的荣誉。从警以来，他已荣获个人三等功2次，个人嘉奖4次，优秀共产党员3次。
今年除夕，刘鹏颐还将在岗位上度过。虽然不能回家陪伴家人，但和同事们并肩作战，守护团圆的万家灯火，也别有一番年味。(完)
中新网评：美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾****** 中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后，美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕，众议院共和党领袖凯文•麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录，将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。  资料图：美国众议院共和党领袖麦卡锡。中新社记者 沙晗汀 摄由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素，众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中，美国民主党议员继续抱团，多轮投票中，一票不投麦卡锡，共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。 麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折，除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外，与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。 一方面，共和党党内反对者认为，麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱，无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府，另一方面，因为共和党的多数优势微弱，党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大，有利于他们巩固自己的选票。 此外，党内反对者也认为，自己的选票没有换取更多利益，希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步，比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。 作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物，众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任，选举几乎没有悬念。然而，麦卡锡此次为当选，不得不做出多个关键让步，其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制，使得众议长的权力被削弱，难以掌控众议院。 美国有线电视新闻网CNN称，麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步，这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。 这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下，党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上，美国两党相互拆台，陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内，也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系，相互对抗，选票变成了谋利益的工具。 从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举，“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈，长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力，其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。 两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病，美国所谓的“民主”形象，让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举，变成了政客们利益置换的游戏，进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能，不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。  House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy (ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy". The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader. Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party. On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration. On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses. Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees. As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives. But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker. CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful. This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally. Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits. From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public. Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world. The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
