‘Comey’ is now a verb - The Washington Post
"James B. Comey has contributed his name to our political vocabulary.
To “Comey” is a term that should gain wide usage in politics.
May it live forever.
...“Comey” means to repeatedly deceive while cloaking oneself in pious, self-anointed virtue. 
In Washington, this happens frequently.
But until now, it had no name.
Comey earned his verb and his iconic status as a swamp creature par excellence.
He ignored the rules and used his office to give a pass to the candidate he thought was going to win and decided to deceitfully derail the candidate he simply did not like, even after he won.
 If you don’t believe me, just look to the Justice Department Inspector General’s report..."

Some Comments on Guns | Power Line
"...First, the last couple of mass shooters likely are copycats. 
More than anything else, giving less press coverage to mass shootings, and especially refusing to publish “manifestoes,” would reduce the number of these events...

Mass shootings are a vanishingly small cause of death. 

...For whatever reason, our editors and reporters have chosen to magnify the significance of mass shooters.

Second, the U.S. homicide rate has been cut in half since the Clinton administration, coinciding with a boom in handgun ownership and an unprecedented issuance of carry permits. 
...There was an uptick in homicides during the last two years of the Obama administration, apparently because of the Black Lives Matter movement and the Obama administration’s embrace of that movement..."

Third, contrary to popular belief, the U.S. is not home to an unusual number of mass shootings..."

AP-NORC Poll: Most Americans see weather disasters worsening - The Washington Post
"WASHINGTON — Nearly three-quarters of Americans see weather disasters, like Hurricane Dorian, worsening and most of them blame global warming to some extent, a new poll finds.
...The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey shows 72% of Americans think catastrophic weather is more severe, while 4% see it as less nasty.
About one-quarter say those disasters are about as extreme as they always were.
Half of those who think weather disasters are worsening say it’s mainly because of man-made climate change, with another 37% who think natural randomness and global warming are equally to blame..."

Boat owners seek to head off lawsuits after 34 die in fire

Boat owners seek to head off lawsuits after 34 die in fire
"LOS ANGELES (AP) — The owners of the dive boat where 34 people perished in a fire off Southern California filed a lawsuit Thursday to head off potentially costly litigation, a move condemned by some observers as disrespectful to the families of the dead.
Truth Aquatics Inc., which owned the Conception, filed the action in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles under a pre-Civil War provision of maritime law that allows it to limit its liability.
...Families of the deceased, who are not named in the complaint, will be served with notice that they have a limited time to challenge the company’s effort to clear itself of negligence or limit its liability to the value of the remains of the boat, which is a total loss..."

Trump Is a Racist. If You Still Support Him, So Are You.

Trump Is a Racist. If You Still Support Him, So Are You.:

• The president keeps baring his ass, and the people talking about his clothing as he does so are part of the problem.

"The president is a racist, in his words and his actions.
Before you go clutching your pearls and extolling the virtues of “civility,” let me say this: 
Put a sock in it.
This is not a new revelation, nor is it something that we can continue to ignore as though it were coming from a drunk uncle at the family barbecue. 
Bigotry is dangerous and, coming from our nation’s commander in chief, it can mean an inability to recognize individual humanity and a failure to act with moral authority in times of crisis. 
Every person talking about his clothes as he cheerfully bares his ass is part of the problem..."

Warren to Utility Companies Using Carbon-Based Fuel: '2035, You're Done'
"Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) declined to go as far as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in calling for the public ownership of utilities during CNN’s climate change town hall Wednesday evening, but she said she will tell utility companies that use carbon-based fuel that they are “done” by 2035.
...“As president, would you be willing to call out capitalism in this way and advocate for the public ownership of our utilities?” the man asked.
“Gosh. You know, I’m not sure that that’s what gets you to the solution,” Warren said, expressing her willingness to take on “giant corporations” but refusing to take aim at Sanders’ position specifically. Instead, she said, she will simply tell those companies, “sorry guys, but by 2035, you’re done.”

She makes up her own "60%" lie!-----Mayor Loses It When Ted Cruz Exposes Chicago Gun Violence

Mayor Loses It When Ted Cruz Exposes Chicago Gun Violence
"It's totally understandable that Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is touchy about gun violence in her city. 
The city is a shooting gallery with citizens little more than clay pigeons.

Last weekend was a typical holiday weekend in Chicago: 7 dead, 41 shot. 
Lightfoot's answer to the violence? 
More gun control, of course.

Senator Ted Cruz tweeted a response to that idea:

Ted Cruz

✔@tedcruz

Gun control doesn’t work. Look at Chicago. Disarming law-abiding citizens isn’t the answer. Stopping violent criminals—prosecuting & getting them off the street—BEFORE they commit more violent crimes is the most effective way to reduce murder rates. Let’s protect our citizens. https://twitter.com/BreitbartNews/status/1168272622209163270 …

At least 25 people were shot, seven fatally, during the first half of Labor Day Weekend in Democrat-controlled Chicago. https://trib.al/xcy08IX 

The comment struck a nerve with Lightfoot -- not just because Cruz is right, but because of who he is: a pro-gun, Republican conservative.
Lightfoot lost it.

Lori Lightfoot

✔@LightfootForChi

60% of illegal firearms recovered in Chicago come from outside IL—mostly from states dominated by coward Republicans like you who refuse to enact commonsense gun legislation. Keep our name out of your mouth. https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1168602589254029313 …

"Keep our name out of your mouth"? 

Cruz didn't tweet anything revolutionary. 

All he did was point out the obvious: gun laws don't affect the ease with which criminals can get their hands on a weapon..."
