In the interview, Ginsburg said she was not particularly concerned about those seeking to impose term limits on Supreme Court justices. "The only way you could get that would be to amend the Constitution, and as you know our Constitution is powerfully hard to amend,” Ginsburg said. However, she expressed more concern about those who seek to increase the number of judges on the high court.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg opposes liberal court-packing and praises Trump appointees
Ruth Bader Ginsburg opposes liberal court-packing and praises Trump appointees:
In an NPR interview released on Tuesday, liberal icon Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg disappointed the radical left when she opposed packing the court and imposing term limits on Supreme Court justices. Many of the front-runners for the Democratic presidential nomination have advocated for one or both of those policies.
In the interview, Ginsburg said she was not particularly concerned about those seeking to impose term limits on Supreme Court justices. "The only way you could get that would be to amend the Constitution, and as you know our Constitution is powerfully hard to amend,” Ginsburg said. However, she expressed more concern about those who seek to increase the number of judges on the high court.

Mini-Nuclear Reactors Are Coming, and They Could Reinvent the Energy Ind...
"Nuclear power may be making a comeback as researchers develop reactors that are smaller than ever before. "
Their numbers are lies!-----Revision to: Wind Farm Back-of-the-Envelope Economic Analysis | Watts Up With That?
Revision to: Wind Farm Back-of-the-Envelope Economic Analysis | Watts Up With That?"Various commenters pointed out to me that I made an error in my calculations.
First, the maintenance man told me the turbines were designed to produce 2.3 MW but only produce an average of 1.3 MW.
...Next, I have been informed that a capacity factor of 1.3/2.3 = 57% (told to me by the maintenance man) is probably way high. ...And I raised the annual maintenance costs to $1 million from $750,000.
...It gets lots more complicated when you consider that the wind farms are being subsidized by the government with the Production Tax Credit (PTC).
...If the company sells $3 million of electricity they get the $3 million, plus a PTC subsidy of $2 million.
That is a huge subsidy!
In fact, I think it is the biggest subsidy ever given for anything.
However, the economics get worse – much worse. ...Even with my error in the original calculation, my conclusion remains: Companies are making money on these things, but the source of the profit is only (or at least mainly) coming from the Production Tax Credit – the subsidy paid by our government with our tax money for these projects.
It’s obvious that T. Boone Pickens and Warren Buffett were right.
Without the PTC (for the past 27 years) these things would not exist.
I think we should stop building these wind farms — yesterday.

Ex-ICE chief blasts Tlaib's 'uneducated' push to abolish agency - WND:
Fox News host Harris Faulkner asked Homan what would happen if ICE were abolished.
“Every illegal alien who enters this country and demands a hearing before a judge and gets ordered removed — no one is going to make them leave,” he replied.
“It will cause a surge at the border like we’ve never seen before.”
Allowing illegal aliens to stay, Homan said, “will only bring more people to this country, put more in harm’s way, more women will be sexually assaulted, more children will die, the cartels get richer.”

The mysterious Mister Mifsud and why no one wants to discuss him | TheHill"Joseph Mifsud: The name of the generally unknown character in the Russia investigation came up, over and over, in the long-awaited House committee hearings with former special counsel Robert Mueller.
Republican Jim Jordan of Ohio invoked the name as if it legally required the accompaniment of horror movie theme music; Mueller immediately snapped back that he would not discuss that man.
...Two years ago, I wrote about Mifsud and his curious role in the unfolding scandal.
...For Republicans, if there was a Garden of Eden in the Trump campaign, Mifsud was the snake.
...The question is, what will happen when that investigation is completed?
...Or he could be a master spy working for the Russians — or for Western intelligence.
What makes him so scary is not what we know but what we don’t know ... that and the fact that no one on Mueller’s team or in the political establishment wants to talk about him."

Janet Shagam - It seems important to remember what was in the DNC emails.
"The exposed emails showed us that the old MSM was working with the DNC.
Wherein we see Jake Tapper's producer actively colluding with democrats on coverage
Luis and April, hope you’re both doing well. I think the best reporter to give the news to ahead of time is Greg Sargent at the Washington Post. But, the specific reporter is not as important as getting it to an outlet before the news breaks so we can help control the narrative on the front end. Otherwise this may likely get spun in a not-so-helpful way. We should also get Rep. Cummings on the phone with that reporter. Thanks again, Mark "

SHAFFER: Mueller’s Testimony Is Over; Now It’s Time For James Comey To Answer Some Questions | The Daily Caller:
Former FBI Director James Comey has a list of questions he would like Democrat lawmakers to ask former Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
It’s a rather hysterical attempt at coming across as a neutral arbiter of fact. In reality, Comey hasn’t got a shred of credibility left beyond his cabal of Trump saboteurs with names such as John Brennan, James Clapper and Andrew McCabe.
