Chief Justice Roberts issues rare rebuke to Schumer's 'dangerous' and 'irresponsible' comments; Trump slams lawmaker, says 'must pay a severe price' | Fox News

Chief Justice Roberts issues rare rebuke to Schumer's 'dangerous' and 'irresponsible' comments; Trump slams lawmaker, says 'must pay a severe price' | Fox News:

Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts on Wednesday issued a highly unusual and forceful rebuke to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., calling his threatening remarks directed at Associate Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh "irresponsible" and "dangerous" -- prompting Schumer's office to slam Roberts and accuse him of bias.
The extraordinary back-and-forth began hours earlier at a pro-choice rally hosted by the Center for Reproductive Rights, when Schumer ominously singled out President Trump's two Supreme Court picks: "I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price!" Schumer warned. "You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."

John Dewar Gleissner's answer to What were the things Soviets were told about the world outside the Iron Curtain? - Quora
"Soviet citizens were told the Americans were oppressed by the rich and that we did not live any better than Soviet citizens.
President Nixon arranged a cultural exchange whereby ordinary Russians visited the USA and Americans visited Russia.
One Russian lady, a confirmed communist, visited the USA on a cultural exchange and was taken to a modern grocery store/supermarket.
This lady chose which direction the car should drive so that she would get an objective sample of American grocery stores.
She walked into the store, saw abundance she’d never seen in the USSR, and burst out crying. 
Some emotional reaction was common when people from communist countries visited American supermarkets for the first time.
Communism always produced shortages of food and provided limited selections; to buy groceries most communists had to stand in lines.
Store shelves were often bare.
When people from communist countries entered our grocery stores, they could tell at a glance that they had been lied to by the communists, that communism did not provide a better life, and that the average American had a better selection of food than any Russian or Soviet citizen.
The superiority of capitalism was made obvious to these visitors in the most elemental, rapid and non-verbal way.
And the communist store clerks were not that friendly, either."

Schools Renormalize Raising Adults | Intellectual Takeout
"Many of us are old enough to remember how childhood used to be. 

• Our afternoons were spent outside playing with the neighborhood kids—no adults or cell phones in sight. 
• Sometimes we got hurt, with occasional scraped knees or hurt egos, but we worked it out. 
• We always knew we could go home. 
• We had paper routes, mowed lawns, ran errands, and babysat at ages much earlier than we allow our own kids. 

What happened to childhood in just a generation that now prompts neighbors to call the police when they see an eight-year-old walking her dog?...

New Law Expands Cuomo’s Power During Coronavirus Outbreak - WSJ

New Law Expands Cuomo’s Power During Coronavirus Outbreak - WSJ
"ALBANY, N.Y.—Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a law Tuesday that expands his emergency management powers, a move that drew bipartisan criticism but that the Democratic governor said is justified by the current coronavirus outbreak.
...New York law already allows the governor to suspend provisions of any state or local statute that would hinder or delay in coping with a declared disaster. 
The new measure broadens the definition of a disaster, from a past occurrence or imminent threat to something that is impending.
The new law specifically added “disease outbreak” to a list of triggering events alongside epidemic, which according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests a wider geographic area.
The measure gives Mr. Cuomo new power to issue directives “necessary to cope with” a broad list of potential disasters..."

Former Biden Adviser on Sanders: ‘We Cannot Let This Man Be the Nominee’

Former Biden Adviser on Sanders: ‘We Cannot Let This Man Be the Nominee’:

Democrats must not select Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) as their presidential nominee, warned Moe Vela, former senior adviser to Vice President Joe Biden and president of the Vela Group, on Monday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight with host Rebecca Mansour and special guest host John Hayward.
“[Bernie Sanders] will be disastrous for down-ballot races,” said Vela of a possible Democrat presidential nomination for the Vermont senator. “From sheriff to school board to mayor, all the way up to the U.S. Senate and the House, he will be absolutely disastrous for down-ballot Democratic races.”

Is Manhattan About To Get Drowned By The Sea? — Manhattan Contrarian

Is Manhattan About To Get Drowned By The Sea? — Manhattan Contrarian

"Nothing, and I mean nothing, leads so quickly to the loss of all critical faculties as global warming hysteria.
One key claim in the maelstrom of global warming hype is the assertion that sea level will shortly rise and swamp coastal cities.
I would put this claim in the category of total BS.

For more detail than you would ever want to know on that subject, go to this link.
But for today’s purposes, assume that there is something to the claim of a big impending sea level rise.
I live here in Manhattan, specifically Lower Manhattan (the southern part of the island).
If sea level is about to rise and swamp coastal cities, Manhattan looks like ground zero, and Lower Manhattan in particular.
...Belief in anthropogenic global warming and its associated natural disasters like sea level rise is an essential component of Manhattan groupthink.
Therefore, it is clear that our politicians must “do something” about the impending calamity.
But what?
We’re not about to jack up some thousands of buildings by 30 or 50 feet each, even assuming that somebody could figure out how to do that.
Thankfully, our politicians have come up with the answer, namely, the “East Side Coastal Resiliency Project” (ESCRP).
...According to the Villager article at the link, the proposed ESCRP generated quite a bit of controversy in the affected community.
Not that anyone expressed doubt about the premise that the sea is about to rise up from man-made global warming.
Instead, most of the controversy was about losing the park for three plus years, plus the loss of some hundreds of trees that are about to be buried in dirt.
But even if everyone accepted the premise of imminent massive sea level rise, you would think that someone would have asked the next obvious question, which is, how does it help us to raise the grade of three miles of the relevant shoreline while leaving the grade of the other twelve miles the same?
After all, the sea level is the same on the Lower West Side as it is on the Lower East Side..."

"By Any Means Necessary" MSU Must Address Climate Change, Demands Panel
"A panel demanded MSU to phase out fossil fuels, stated need for collective action, and called on the student government to act.

...Answering how to solve climate change, “something really radical has to happen,” said a JMC professor towards the end of the event.
She clarified emphasizing a peaceful “civic uprising.”
...Outlined by several panelists was the idea of capitalism being against climate change. They cited the existence of fossil fuel industries and their externalities as the side effects of capitalism.
...Going forward, the panel called said ending “university's investment in fossil fuels” was a goal. They said it means phasing out the use of energy derived from fossil fuels on campus.
...A member of the JMC Student Senate, speaking as a panelist, made a number of claims to the audience, including “we don’t even have clean water. You see your water bottle, wait an hour, it has lead in it.”
...The panelist went further, saying students must “hold the university accountable by any means necessary.”
Both professors on the panel shook their heads in agreement following this comment.
Elaborating on the comment, he suggested “we won’t have a college to study from if we don’t act. Honestly, cost isn’t the question we should be asking.”
...A student at the event told The Morning Watch, “capitalism equals more factories and more capital, which in turn leads to more pollution and CO2 emissions.”...
