THE DAILY SIGNAL

Sep 06, 2019

Happy Friday from Washington, where President Trump prompts hand-wringing by his willingness to meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. That doesn’t mean the U.S. will ease sanctions on the Islamist regime, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tells our Nolan Peterson in an exclusive interview. A gun control debate on Twitter involving an actress and two U.S. senators prompts Jarrett Stepman to explore the Second Amendment. Plus: Chuck Donovan on Planned Parenthood’s real interest, Armstrong Williams on black employment gains, and Nicole Russell on government coercion and transgender pronouns. Enjoy your weekend.

Chris Murphy, D-Conn. More News EXCLUSIVE: Secretary of State Calls on Iran to Act Like a ‘Normal Nation’ “The Washington establishment sometimes stares at [a possible US-Iran meeting] and says, ‘Oh, my goodness, they’re getting a meeting … boy, that creates power for them.’ The president sees it differently,” Secretary Mike Pompeo says.

THE FLIP SIDE

View this email in your browser Friday, September 6, 2019 CNN Town Hall On Wednesday, CNN hosted a seven-hour climate change town hall featuring ten Democratic candidates in succession. CNN From the Left The left is encouraged that candidates are taking climate change seriously. “There were reportedly concerns within the DNC that ‘a debate that incentivized the eventual nominee to declare war on the fossil fuel industry risked ceding gas-producing states like Pennsylvania to Trump in 2020’… CNN showed that the DNC had little to fear with a climate crisis debate. Most of the candidates avoided direct attacks on each other, let alone proclamations that could scare off crucial blocks of swing voters. As Bernie Sanders made clear: ‘The coal miners in this country, the men and women who work on the oil rigs, they are not my enemy. My enemy is climate change.’” Sophia Tesfaye, Salon “Organizing works. Earlier this year, activists with the Sunrise Movement began agitating for the Democratic National Committee to hold a climate debate. While they didn’t get an official debate, they did get a prime-time, science-based, and mostly substantive discussion of climate change. Years of work by activists to elevate climate change to the top of the political agenda resulted in every candidate agreeing on a certain floor for action, including reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 at the very latest, ending federal subsidies for the fossil fuel industry, and restricting oil and gas leasing on public lands—something the Obama administration resisted.” Zoë Carpenter, The Nation “The conversation… stood in stark contrast to an administration for which the question is not how but whether to address the climate crisis — and the answer is no… Trump has…  moved to protect methane leaks, open protected lands and waters to fossil fuel extraction, and help cars and trucks consume gasoline. Why do fossil fuel purveyors keep having their way with administration officials? Partly because they are often one and the same. Take Joe Balash, who resigned as the Interior Department’s assistant secretary for land and minerals management last week to become an executive at an oil company with operations near Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, an area where Balash and other administration officials have championed fossil fuel extraction… Balash follows other ranking administration officials who have jumped to the energy industry, among them former Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt.” Editorial Board, San Francisco Chronicle “The voter passionately motivated by climate change was once something of an anomaly. But that is changing as President Donald Trump has systematically unraveled the nation’s environmental regulations at the same time that Americans have witnessed a series of climate-related crises: fires in the Amazon, hurricanes that churn with increasing fury and record-shattering temperatures and weather events across the US… A Quinnipiac University poll in late August found that 56% of registered voters nationwide believe climate change is an emergency…  In a new high since Quinnipiac began asking the question in 2015, 67% of voters said the US is not doing enough to address climate change.” Maeve Reston, CNN Many note that “Biden’s appearance at the town hall was less than impressive. He repeatedly interrupted himself to jump from one thought to another. When he was asked whether he would ban fossil fuel exports—an issue on which other candidates had disparate but relatively clear views—Biden instantly pivoted to a long account of his efforts on behalf of high-speed rail. Even the shallow matter of what we now call ‘optics’ went badly for Biden.” Jeff Greenfield, Politico Regarding Bernie’s comment about abortion, “It’s important to note that even reversing the Mexico City policy doesn’t mean U.S. funds can go to funding abortions. Congress in 1974 banned the use of U.S. funds for abortion and abortion-related services, and that law remains on the books. The Mexico City policy simply expanded on that to prevent the funding of groups that provide such services — even if the money doesn’t go directly to abortion services…  “Sanders’s 2016 campaign said he opposes that 1974 law, known as the Helms amendment. So it’s fair to say that he supports federal funding for foreign abortion services. (Hillary Clinton did, too.) But saying he supports that policy in order to ‘abort poor babies for population control’ is taking things to another level. One can support federal funding for abortions domestically, for instance, without believing it should be used specifically to stop population growth… when describing specifically how he would support combating global population growth, Sanders only mentioned birth control. People may infer things from the fact that he invoked ‘reproductive decisions’ in his answer, but he never said he thinks the United States should support abortion as a means of population control.” Aaron Blake, Washington Post From the Right The right is critical of the solutions offered and in particular Bernie Sanders’s remarks about abortion. “Yes, climate change is real… But too often, liberal Democrats assume socialist command and control approaches – mixed with federal jobs guarantees and universal health care – are the only solutions… We could debate the merits of a socialist ‘Green New Deal’ takeover of the entire U.S. economy – a debate destined to go nowhere. Or we could have a serious debate on climate solutions [such as increased use of natural gas, nuclear energy, and hydropower], informed by political and technical realism and economic competitiveness – and get somewhere.” Rich Powell, Fox News “Democratic presidential candidates argued on Wednesday evening, during a seven-hour event broadcast on CNN, that they would stop at nothing to stop climate change… Harris would change dietary guidelines to reduce red-meat consumption. She would ban fracking. She would ban offshore drilling. She’d even ban plastic straws. What about increasing production of nuclear power, which doesn’t produce carbon dioxide emissions?… In short, 2020 Democrats argued that there is an existential environmental crisis, but we can’t be bothered to find the appropriate dirt heap under which we would dump the waste of a carbon-free energy source already in existence that actually works.” John McCormack, National Review “It’s really one of the tragedies of our age that so many anxious young people have been brainwashed into believing they live on the cusp of dystopia when, in fact, they’re in the middle of a golden age — an era with less war, sickness, poverty, and suffering than any in history… And though the most effective way to lower carbon emissions — the one that allows us to outpace signees of the vaunted Paris Accord — has been fracking, most Democrats, it seems, now oppose that as well… Americans use about 19.96 million barrels of petroleum products per day. To replace it, we’d have to create millions of unproductive taxpayer-funded jobs, layer every inch of available land with solar panels and windmills, and then pray to Gaia that every day is simultaneously sunny and windy. All for the low cost of $93 trillion.” David Harsanyi, The Federalist “Assuming mainstream climate science modeling, eliminating all U.S. carbon dioxide emissions tomorrow would avert only 0.034°C—0.062°C of global warming in 2050. Such a tiny change, which is too small to be reliably detected, would have no discernible effect on weather patterns, crop yields, or polar bear populations… How do such vanishingly small climate benefits justify the enormous costs?“ Marlo Lewis, Fox News Regarding Sanders, “To say that overpopulation is a problem, and then to immediately call for more funding of abortion in, say, Africa, is a rather startling position to take — maybe even ‘courageous,’ in the sense that it is risky to appear so callous [and] cruel. Sanders may have meant something else. He seemed to believe the Mexico City policy curtailed access to contraceptives. (It does not.) He spoke the language of autonomy. So maybe Sanders sees himself as just wanting to empower poor women to control their fertility. Even so, Western enthusiasm for reducing the number of African babies has always had racist and colonialist undertones.” Editorial Board, Washington Examiner “Sanders isn’t alone in linking abortion rights to concerns about the climate. Some of the most ardent abortion-rights activists routinely lament the choice to have children, on the grounds that doing so is bad for the environment… Pushing birth control and abortion as a means of lowering population growth, and specifically of eliminating ‘undesirable’ populations, is not a new tactic on the part of progressives. Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, for instance, was a pioneer in the eugenics movement’s effort to provide contraception to minority communities, largely to limit the continued growth of what she deemed unwanted populations. Sanger put a fine point on this in her writings: ‘The feebleminded are notoriously prolific in reproduction.’” Alexandra DeSanctis, National Review “We’ve been hearing the same dire warnings about the catastrophe of population growth for 50 years now, with the crash always just ten years away. Paul Ehrlich wrote The Population Bomb in 1968 and predicted massive wars and famine by the early 1980s… China imposed a brutal and corrupt one-child policy for decades, forcing mothers to have abortions and encouraging a sex-selection process that has left the country with far too many single men of reproductive age. It has warped their social structure while covering up the real problems China faces — government oppression rather than population control.” Ed Morrissey, Hot Air On the bright side… Horse joins owner on flight from Chicago as service animal.

The Resurgent’s Morning Briefing for September 6,2019 View this email in your browser Share Tweet Forward Good morning, Here is all the news conservatives need to know to start their day.  At 4pm ET, you can catch me on radio to bring you up to speed on developments throughout the day.  You can listen live here.   I Don’t Care About Climate Change. It is a Religious Doctrine of Progressive Secularists. I do not care about climate change. The left only cares because they need some new doctrines and orthodoxies to replace the religions they are abandoning. Climate change is not an issue of reality, but an issue of rhetoric designed to find and eliminate heretics. If the Democrats really, truly cared, they’d be first in line to give up their burgers, their plane tickets, and quite possibly their lives — all to spare the world more carbon. Instead, they want the bully pulpits, the wagyu beef, and the private jets to tell the rest of us to do as they say, not as they do. I don’t care about climate change because it is very clear the left does not care about it except as a political weapon with which they can scare kids and bully opponents and keep poor third world countries in heat, mosquitos, and squalor. But then we should expect no less from the very people who adopt the arguments of slave owners to defend killing children. The post I Don’t Care About Climate Change.

POLITICO Playbook: Iran tests Trump

By ANNA PALMER and JAKE SHERMAN 

09/06/2019 05:56 AM EDT

Presented by

DRIVING THE DAY

NUCLEAR UPDATE … NORTH KOREA has been test launching missiles with regularity, and now Iran is saying it will begin research and development of new nuclear weapons.

— NYT’S RICK GLADSTONE: “Iran Will No Longer Honor Limits on Nuclear Research, a Core Principle of Accord”: “Moving further away from the 2015 nuclear agreement, Iran said Thursday it had stopped honoring the deal’s limits on research and development, a potentially important breach of the accord.

“The step was Iran’s third retaliatory suspension of compliance with a provision of the accord since President Trump renounced it last year and reimposed severe sanctions aimed at crippling Iran’s economy.

“Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, conveyed the country’s latest step in a letter to Federica Mogherini, the top foreign policy official of the European Union, who has been trying to save the nuclear deal from unraveling.

“Iran’s official Islamic Republic News Agency quoted a Foreign Ministry spokesman, Abbas Mousavi, as saying Mr. Zarif’s letter informed Ms. Mogherini that Iran had ceased all its commitments ‘in the field of nuclear research and development as of today (Thursday).’” NYT

IRANIAN LEADERS have said they will not start talks with the United States unless sanctions are dropped. President DONALD TRUMP said this to French President EMMANUEL MACRON on Thursday night, according to a White House readout distributed by the pool: “President Trump reiterated that dropping sanctions against Iran is not going to happen at this time.”

NYT’S NEW LONDON BUREAU CHIEF MARK LANDLER on A9: “Trump and Johnson’s Complex ‘Bromance’ Is Underscored by Pence Visit”: “Battered by serial defeats in Parliament, scolded by members of his own party, abandoned by even his own brother, Prime Minister Boris Johnson of Britain looked this week like someone who could use a friend.

“He got one Thursday — or at least a faithful understudy — in the person of Vice President Mike Pence. Mr. Pence met Mr. Johnson at 10 Downing Street to pass along President Trump’s support of the prime minister’s plan to pull Britain out of the European Union.

“Mr. Trump himself offered Mr. Johnson a long-distance pat on the back Wednesday as Mr. Johnson battled a recalcitrant Parliament, telling reporters, ‘Boris knows how to win.’

“These days, however, Mr. Johnson does not look like much of a winner. … Friendship with Mr. Trump is also a fickle thing. He was friendly with President Emmanuel Macron of France until the two men fell out over Iran and climate change, among other issues. Mr. Johnson, as foreign secretary under Prime Minister Theresa May, unsuccessfully lobbied the White House not to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal.” NYT

— PENCE landed from his European trip at 12:30 a.m. From pooler Bob Costa of WaPo: “Of note: During the flight, a WH official said VPOTUS has rescheduled a major speech on China for this fall, date to be announced, at a think tank in Washington.” NOTE: Pence canceled a China speech a few months ago, as the U.S. was negotiating with the Chinese.

!!! … THE TELEGRAPH’S @rafsanchez: “I asked Netanyahu if he had confidence in @AviBerkow, the 30-year-old former Kushner [assistant] the White House has put in charge of Israeli-Palestinian peace. ‘Why not?’ he replied.”

A message from The Boeing Company:

“There’s some familiarity here that makes you comfortable,” says Nicole Canada, one of 20,000+ veterans using military experience and leadership skills to strengthen our team every day.

AP … FOR TODAY’S PAPERS … JONATHAN LEMIRE: “Mr. Never Wrong: Storm spat underscores Trump’s mindset”: “President Donald Trump doesn’t make mistakes. At least according to him.

“Trump’s relentless justifications of his erroneous warnings that Hurricane Dorian was threatening Alabama on Sunday, which created days of ridicule and skepticism, are just the latest example of the president’s lifelong reluctance to admit an error, no matter how innocuous.

“His fervent, dayslong pushback has displayed not only his prolonged focus on a personal spat but his willingness, notably again late on Thursday, to deploy government staff and resources to justify an inaccurate claim. Presidential proclamations can move markets, rattle world capitals and, in this case, unnecessarily alarm the residents of a state. Trump’s relationship with the truth and accountability threatened to, yet again, diminish the weight of any president’s words.” AP

— NANCY COOK: “The short arc of a Sharpie captures the long arc of Trump”: “The tone of the entire Trump presidency was captured this week with the simple swipe of a black Sharpie. An ill-timed, inaccurate but well-intentioned Twitter warning from Presidential Donald Trump at the start of the week extended into a five-day presidential feud by Thursday, transforming a forgettable fact-check of his words into an epic storm of attacks as the president repeatedly doubled down and dug in.

“Trump’s latest move of promulgating false information, blaming the media for the coverage of it and then subsequently turning that controversy into a seemingly pointless multi-day story reminded current and former White House aides, advisers and Trump allies of all the times in business and government he has leaned on the same playbook of never, ever backing down: whether it was the value of his real estate business or the crowd size at his inauguration or his statements about Chinese tariffs.”

QUOTE DU JOUR: “No one else writes like that on a map with a black Sharpie” — anonymous White House official to WaPo’s Toluse Olorunnipa and Josh Dawsey

RNC LEADERSHIP UPDATE … CHICAGO TRIBUNE: “Cubs co-owner Todd Ricketts’ property tax assessment appeal on designer Wilmette home sent to state’s attorney,” by Hal Dardick: “The Cook County Board of Review has referred to the state’s attorney its investigation of Cubs co-owner Todd Ricketts’ property tax appeal on his designer Wilmette home after concluding that Ricketts and his real estate lawyer made ‘misrepresentations’ that lowered tax bills by tens of thousands of dollars.

“The tax appeals panel concluded that it ‘does not have sufficient evidence to establish’ that either Ricketts or attorney James FortCamp ‘knowingly misled’ officials. But the board also noted it does not have the authority to compel those involved to testify under oath.

“The state’s attorney’s office does have such power. The tax board, which took a look at Ricketts’ appeal following a Tribune report, did not specify whether it’s seeking a criminal or civil review. A spokeswoman for Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx declined to say, issuing a statement that said the office was ‘reviewing the matter at this time to determine the appropriate next steps.’” Chicago Tribune

JOE BIDEN on Thursday night at a New York fundraiser, per the N.Y. Daily News’ Chris Sommerfeldt: “Biden recalled meeting Vladimir Putin while serving as VP. ‘I don’t think you have a soul and his response was “well we understand each other,”’ Biden said.

“In order to ensure that Putin doesn’t interfere in more American elections, Biden said, ‘we have to get every state in the union to move toward having paper ballots. We need the backup.’”

— BIDEN AT A SECOND FUNDRAISER at the New York apartment of Andrew Goldman, co-founder of Houston-based natural gas company LNG Wester: “‘Folks, I know there’s been a lot of attention paid to you showing up tonight. More than I think you anticipated,’ Biden said. …

“He added, in an apparent reference to the rest of the Democratic presidential primary field, ‘I’m the only guy who has ever gotten anything done.’”

— MARC CAPUTO in Rock Hill, S.C.: “Biden bets it all on the black vote”

THE LATEST ON GOVERNMENT FUNDING — SARAH FERRIS and HEATHER CAYGLE: “House to vote on stopgap bill to avert shutdown”: “The House will return to Washington next week with plans to swiftly pass a bill to keep the government open past Sept. 30, marking the first step to avert yet another shutdown.

“The House will take up the stopgap funding measure the second week they return from the August recess, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer announced in a letter to the caucus on Thursday. … [I]t’s unclear whether Senate Republicans are willing to accept a stopgap measure, which would not include a single additional dollar for President Donald Trump’s border wall, which is likely to be the administration’s top priority in the funding talks.” POLITICO

ALEX ISENSTADT: “Republicans to scrap primaries and caucuses as Trump challengers cry foul”: “Four states are poised to cancel their 2020 GOP presidential primaries and caucuses, a move that would cut off oxygen to Donald Trump’s long-shot primary challengers. Republican parties in South Carolina, Nevada, Arizona and Kansas are expected to finalize the cancellations in meetings this weekend, according to three GOP officials who are familiar with the plans.

“The moves are the latest illustration of Trump’s takeover of the entire Republican Party apparatus. They underscore the extent to which his allies are determined to snuff out any potential nuisance en route to his re-nomination — or even to deny Republican critics a platform to embarrass him.

“Trump advisers are quick to point out that parties of an incumbent president seeking reelection have a long history of canceling primaries and note it will save state parties money. But the president’s primary opponents, who have struggled to gain traction, are crying foul, calling it part of a broader effort to rig the contest in Trump’s favor.” POLITICO

TRUCKIN’ … TRUMP TOUR 2020 … WSJ’S MIKE BENDER: “‘It’s Kind of Like an Addiction’: On the Road With Trump’s Rally Diehards”: “Mr. Trump has hosted more than 550 ticketed campaign events since 2015, at least 70% of which include his trademark rallies, according to Republican officials. These rallies form the core of one of the most steadfast political movements in modern American political history, a dynamic that has reordered the Republican Party.

“Mr. Trump’s perpetual tour attracts a coterie of political pilgrims who travel across the country and encamp outside arenas for days at a time for the chance to stand in the front row and, for 90 minutes, cheer the man they say has changed the U.S. and, in many cases, their own lives. Somewhere between 5% to 10% of attendees have been to multiple events, the officials said.

“’You go to the rallies, and he basically tells you that you don’t have to put up with “the swamp” and those kinds of people,’ said Saundra Kiczenski, a 40-year-old Walmart worker from Michigan who has been to 29 rallies. ‘Because of him I decided not to pay for Obamacare, not pay the fine. And what happened? Nothing. Before, the quiet me would have paid the fine. But Donald Trump told me that we have a voice, and now I stand up for myself.’” WSJ

THE INVESTIGATIONS — “U.S. congressional probe finds possible lapses in Deutsche Bank controls,” by Reuters’ Mark Hosenball, Matt Scuffham and John O’Donnell: “U.S. congressional investigators have identified possible failures in Deutsche Bank AG’s money laundering controls in its dealings with Russian oligarchs, after the lender handed over a trove of transaction records, emails and other documents, three people familiar with the matter said.

“The congressional inquiry found instances where Deutsche Bank staff in the United States and elsewhere flagged concerns about new Russian clients and transactions involving existing ones, but were ignored by managers, two of the people said.

“Lawmakers are also examining whether Deutsche Bank facilitated the funneling of illegal funds into the United States as a correspondent bank, where it processes transactions for others, one of the sources said.” Reuters

GUN CONTROL LATEST … WSJ’S ANDREW RESTUCCIA and NATALIE ANDREWS: “President Trump met with Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin at the White House on Thursday to discuss a policy response to mass shootings that have killed dozens of people over the past several weeks, three people familiar with the matter said.

“The 30-minute private meeting, which included several White House staffers, touched on a range of possible gun-related policy issues including background checks, the people said. … another person familiar with the meeting said the president didn’t give Sen. Manchin a clear signal, illustrating the widespread uncertainty on Capitol Hill about what Mr. Trump might support.” WSJ

— STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, sure, but Joe Manchin does not exactly represent the center of gravity in the Democratic caucus.

DEATH OF A TYRANT — “Robert Mugabe, former strongman of Zimbabwe, dies aged 95,” by The Telegraph’s Chris Graham: “Robert Mugabe, who ruled Zimbabwe for nearly four decades since independence from Britain, has died at the age of 95.

FOR YOUR RADAR — “Cracks in Saudi-UAE coalition risk new war in Yemen,” by AP’s Maggie Michael in Aden, Yemen: “Fighting between their allies in southern Yemen has opened a gaping wound in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates’ coalition against the country’s rebels. If they can’t fix it, it threatens to tear the country apart into even smaller warring pieces.

“Last week saw a stunning escalation in the turmoil in the south, as Emirati warplanes blasted fighters loyal to Yemen’s internationally recognized president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi — the man the coalition is supposed to be trying to restore to power. Dozens were killed, and the UAE rubbed salt in the wound by calling Hadi’s forces ‘terrorists.’” AP

THE HILL

© Getty Images     Welcome to The Hill’s Morning Report. Back by popular demand, it’s Friday! Our newsletter gets you up to speed on the most important developments in politics and policy, plus trends to watch. Al Weaver is holding down the fort for the week while Alexis Simendinger is on vacation. Find us @asimendinger and @alweaver22 on Twitter and CLICK HERE to subscribe!   President Trump just won’t let go of his erroneous forecast showing Alabama in the path of Hurricane Dorian.   Over the past two days, the president has zeroed in on his claim, having posted numerous tweets and maps backing up his initial statement. A day after he appeared in the Oval Office to speak about the storm while using a map featuring a magic marker outline of Alabama in the storm path, a Homeland Security and counterrorism adviser went so far as to release on official letterhead a statement backing up the president over his Alabama prediction, all as a storm was peppering the Carolinas and as multiple states sat in Dorian’s path (The Hill).    “I was with you all the way Alabama. The Fake News Media was not!” Trump tweeted on Thursday.    As The Washington Post reported on Thursday night:   “Trump, who has privately and publicly griped about media coverage during the Group of 7 summit last month, complained extensively to administration officials this week about coverage of the Alabama issue and asked aides to bring him old briefings showing Alabama in the storm’s potential path.”   The Post also reported, sighting a White House official, that Trump indeed used a Sharpie marker on the map on Wednesday.    The Associated Press: Mr. Never Wrong: Storm spat underscores Trump’s mindset.   As for the storm itself, Hurricane Dorian was moving along the coast of North Carolina early Friday morning, with the storm’s center threatening to hit the Outer Banks, according to the National Hurricane Center.   “Dorian should remain a powerful hurricane as it moves near or along the coast of North Carolina during the next several hours,” NHC said in a Friday update. They also added that there’s a “high risk” of “life-threatening flash flooding” in eastern North Carolina as rainfall is expected to hit 15 inches in some locations.   The storm is also expected to move north and affect southeast Virginia, which has ordered evacuations in the area ahead of early Friday, when the storm could potentially affect the region (The Virginian-Pilot).    In South Carolina, nearly 250,000 homes and businesses lost power as the storm hit the coastline as a Category 2 storm with winds at 105-mph. In the U.S., four deaths were attributed to Dorian’s impact. According to The Associated Press, all of the deaths involved falls or electrocution while trimming trees, putting up storm shutters or preparing for the hurricane’s landfall.   The Bahamas continued to reel from the devastation left behind by the hurricane on Thursday. The death toll rose to at least 30 as authorities continued to search for bodies in the wreckage, according to Health Minister Duane Sands. Sands added that the final death count would be much higher. The United Nations projected that 76,000 people would be in need of humanitarian aid.    “Let me say that I believe the number will be staggering,” Sands said. “I have never lived through anything like this and I don’t want to live through anything like this again” (Reuters).   Some companies are also offering humanitarian help for those affected in the Bahamas. Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line announced that it is embarking on a humanitarian journey Thursday evening from the Port of Palm Beach. The cruise ship is carrying food, water, supplies, first responders, and volunteers. It will also give Bahamians stranded in Florida transportation back to the Bahamas.   The ship is expected to sail to Freeport on Grand Bahama Island and return to Palm Beach on Friday. It will also allow Bahamians to evacuate the islands for the U.S., although those on board must have proper documentation. The trip will be free for Bahamians, volunteers and relief workers (Orlando Sentinel).    The hurricane has also has a political impact in North Carolina as it readies for next week’s special election in the 9th Congressional District. Julia Manchester reports that the state has closed a number of early voting sites only days before the Tuesday contest.    The North Carolina State Board of Elections said it had closed early voting sites in Robeson, Bladen and Scotland counties, adding it had not determined when they will reopen.   Tuesday’s contest between Democrat Dan McCready and GOP state Sen. Dan Bishop is a redo of the November 2018 election after the results were tossed out because of widespread ballot fraud.   © Getty Images     LEADING THE DAY POLITICS & CAMPAIGNS: Republicans are sensing they have a Texas problem on their hands.   Although they have held onto power in the state for 25 years, Republicans are worried that their grip could slip away in 2020 as the state becomes more purple, headlined by a string of retirements by House Republicans early on in the cycle.    On the Democratic side, 2020 candidates will gather in Houston for the party’s third presidential debate next week amid growing excitement within the party that the Lone Star State is trending in their direction. Republican support is faltering heavily in the suburbs around Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio — four of the nation’s largest and fastest growing metro areas — and five House Republicans from the state have already decided not to seek reelection. Other GOP lawmakers are squarely on retirement watch.    Thanks in large part to the “Texas Miracle” that saw millions of jobs move to the state from states like California, the state has seen an influx of liberal voters. Recent polls show several 2020 Democratic candidates running neck and neck with the president in the state.   Reporting from Austin, Jonathan Easley interviewed more than a half-dozen top GOP strategists, donors and officials in Texas. While they all expressed confidence that President Trump will carry the state’s 38 electoral votes and that Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) will win reelection next year, the long-term trends in the state are of utmost concern.   © Getty Images     The Associated Press: Black votes will define electability for Democrats.   The Hill: Marianne Williamson under fire for controversial health remarks.   The New York Times: Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), defending Trump in impeachment inquiry, seeks Georgia Senate seat.   > Sanders struggles: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is having a major problem with one key portion of the Democratic primary electorate: the AARP crowd.   While Sanders has been extremely successful in raking in young voters, both in 2016 and in this year’s primary, recent polls show he is sorely lacking in support from older voters. A Quinnipiac University poll out last month highlights the problem the Vermont independent faces as only 4 percent of those over 65 — those in the senator’s age group — backs him.    Sanders, 77, is the oldest candidate in the 2020 field.   Even Sanders supporters acknowledge that the campaign needs to do more to convince older voters that his bid isn’t just about issues aimed at young people.    “Seniors are often more concerned about not losing what they earned and fearful about what might lie ahead,” said Larry Cohen, a longtime Sanders ally who runs Our Revolution. “We have to convince older voters that they can be ushers for the future not just ushers for the past. Sometimes older voters are fearful that change means change for the worse” (The Hill).   The Hill: Sanders under fire for remarks on population control.   The Hill: CNN climate town hall finishes last in viewers among cable news broadcasts.   IN FOCUS/SHARP TAKES ADMINISTRATION/CONGRESS: Republican lawmakers are displeased as the president is set to fund part of a wall along the U.S./Mexico border with funds initially intended for military projects in their states or districts.    Secretary of Defense Mark Esper announced that $3.6 billion will be stripped from 127 projects at U.S. bases, including some in states where GOP senators are up for reelection, upsetting some lawmakers who do not believe the president has the proper authority or want the monies backfilled in a funding package.   “Each of these projects was recommended by the administration, passed in Congress, signed into law by the president, and while there is some discretion that he has to move money around, I think that his executive order exceeds his discretion,” said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who is up for reelection next year, during an event back home on Wednesday.   The Senate attempted to override the president’s emergency declaration, but lawmakers fell short of the necessary votes to do so.    Some other Senate Republicans who are seeing funding redirected away from their states are Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), Sen. Thom Tillis (N.C.), Sen. Martha McSally (Ariz.) and Sen. Cory Gardner (Colo.) — all of whom voted in support of Trump’s emergency declaration (The Hill).   © Getty Images     > Spending: House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) announced Thursday that the House is expected to vote on a short-term measure to fund the government and prevent a shutdown in mid-September.    In a “Dear Colleague” letter, Hoyer said that he expects the House to take up a “clean” stopgap measure, known as a continuing resolution (CR), during the week of Sept. 16. According to one leadership aide, the stopgap funding bill is expected to run through mid-November.    Over the summer, House Democrats passed 10 of 12 annual appropriations bills for fiscal 2020, but the Senate has yet to even approve any of its versions out of committee as they were waiting to see if lawmakers would strike a budget caps deal before the August recess.   Without a deal by the end of September, the government would partially shut down for the second time in a calendar year after the 35-day shutdown that lasted until late January (The Hill).   The Hill: House, Senate Democrats to prioritize election security this fall.   > Guns: CVS, Walgreens and Wegmans all asked consumers to avoid bringing firearms into their stores, continuing a string of announcements by corporations in the wake of mass shootings in recent weeks.    In statements by all three corporations, they asked that customers avoid carrying guns in their stores outside of law enforcement officers. The announcements came in the aftermath of similar requests by Walmart and Kroger (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution).   The Associated Press: Vice President Pence tiptoes past Brexit tumult for an oh-so-chipper chat.   The Hill.

Since Aug. 1, Ginsburg has made three appearances and has six more on the docket before the court reconvenes, including a speaking engagement at the University of Chicago on Monday and another at Georgetown University Law School on Sept. 12 (The Hill).   © Getty Images     ➔ Sexual Harassment: Plácido Domingo, the legendary opera singer, was accused once again of sexual misconduct on Thursday. Angela Turner Wilson, who worked with Domingo 20 years ago in the Washington Opera’s production of Jules Massenet’s “Le Cid,” accused Domingo of approaching her as she sat in a makeup chair, slipping his hand under her bra strap and grabbing her breast. “It hurt … It was not gentle. He groped me hard,” she said. A spokeswoman for Domingo disputed the allegations (The Associated Press).    ➔ Brexit: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s younger brother, Jo Johnson, announced Thursday that he would step down as a member of Parliament and resigned his post as a junior minister as the ongoing battle over Brexit rages on in the United Kingdom. The prime minister’s brother said early on Thursday that he was “torn between family loyalty and the national interest,” adding that the “unresolvable tension” led him to his decision. The elder Johnson has tried to  execute Brexit with or without a deal with the European Union by Oct. 31, but it has run into roadblocks as he has lost both his parliamentary majority and control of the Brexit process in recent days, forcing him to call for a mid-October election on the issue at hand (BBC).    > Zimbabwe: Former Zimbabwean Prime Minister and President Robert Mugabe died on Friday at age 95 in Singapore. Mugabe, who served as president for 30 years, is known in the eyes of some for having ended white minority rule in Zimbabwe in the 1980s, but his legacy grew more complicated later on as he clung to power at all costs, harming his country in the process, leading to his ouster and resignation in 2017 (Reuters).   THE CLOSER And finally …  👏👏👏 Three cheers to today’s Morning Report Quiz winners!

Why Georgia will be the wildest ride in politics heading into 2020

OPINION — You could almost hear the collective “Holy #&%!” across Georgia last week after Sen. Johnny Isakson’s surprise announcement that he will retire from the Senate at the end of the year.

Biden and Beto are like night and day — except when they’re potato-potahto

OPINION — It was a difference in styles and generations. In a Carolinas swing, first there was Beto O’Rourke with a town hall at a brewery in Charlotte, North Carolina — more like an informal gathering among many new friends.

Straw Bans Should be Cause for Alarm Unnecessary climate panic is changing the law and our lives at an alarming rate. While it may seem like a minor inconvenience to drink out of a mushy paper straw or sippy-cup lid, bans on straws have become the trendiest piece of legislation in the United States. Virtue-signaling progressives rejoice in what they consider to be “planet-saving” bans on useful items needed by children and disabled people on a daily basis. The bans are not based at all on science and facts about ocean pollution, but entirely by emotional activists intent on making people think the world is on the verge of ending. Straws account for a nearly immeasurable amount of refuse in the ocean, yet laws are being changed at the whim of a conspiracy that they are a significant risk to the planet, despite significantevidence to the contrary.   Let’s look at some of the most blatant facts that debunk the idea that giving up your bendy straws will do any planet saving whatsoever.   – The United States contributes less than 1% of plastic ocean pollution annually (The Wall Street Journal)   – Plastic straws account for less than 1% of the 1% that the United States dumps into the ocean (Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions)   – Paper straws are not actually biodegradable and use significantly more energy to produce than plastic straws. In fact, paper straws don’t degrade all that much faster than their plastic counterparts. (The Environmental Protection Agency)   – No, you can’t recycle paper straws either. Items tainted with food product must go to landfill. (Recyclebank)   Yet, despite these extremely easy to research facts, presidential candidates and lawmakers across the country have vowed to make these types of bans priorities – and it’s been effective. That’s what’s really scary.    David Harsanyi has more about the dangers of overblown climate panic after enduring the seven-hour marathon of Democrats discussing climate on CNN. (The Federalist)   “Put it this way: the most benign climate-change plan proposed during CNN’s seven-hour Democratic Party presidential candidate town hall was more authoritarian than anything Donald Trump has ever suggested during his presidency. Democrats were not merely proposing massive societal upheaval but mass coercion.”   “None of this hysteria, as far as I can tell, was challenged during those seven hours.”   Meanwhile, Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren would appreciate it if everyone stopped pointing out that climate change alarmists want to ban everyday items. (The Washington Examiner) It’s O.K. to Admit that You Love America; It’s Pretty Great Even though we are constantly being told that the United States is full of problematic, hateful people, and that we are basically the same as Germany right before World War II, and that we’re about 10 minutes from ending the planet by drinking out of plastic straws, it is nice to occasionally take a moment to remember that we live in the greatest country on the planet. No, of course, things aren’t perfect. But they’re a heck of a lot better than what you read about on Twitter and hear in the news. This is a big country full of extremely nice people enjoying the broadest freedom afforded to humans across the globe.  David Marcus wrote about a recent trip across the country in which he experienced a very different, far less racist America than the one we keep hearing about in the news. From The Federalist: “This summer, I’ve had the chance to spend a few weeks on the road, exploring the vast, forgotten America west of the Acela corridor and east of Hollywood. In June, I drove from Brooklyn to Arkansas and back, and just last week coursed through the whole continent, landing at a beach bar in Venice Beach. One thing I noticed everywhere I went, in the bars and restaurants I haunted along the way, was a level of racial harmony that belies the notion of our nation as a hotbed of racism. The people I met along the way, and there were a lot of them, were white, black, brown, Asian, and Native American, and they weren’t self-segregated within the establishments I found. Much the opposite: they were mixing, mingling, laughing, and drinking together without even a hint of racial tension.” Weekend Reading Hurricane Dorian absolutely ravages the Bahamas, leaving 20 dead before heading for the Carolinas. (CNN)  Former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes sued Fusion GPS and its founder in a sweeping suit alleging conspiracy to obstruct investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election. (Mollie Hemingway for The Federalist)   Authorities are investigating an individual suspected of building, illegally selling rifle to shooter in Midland and Odessa, Texas last week. (The Wall Street Journal)   Friday Entertainment Center In the new trailer for Jack Ryan season two, Ryan is poised again to be the only man that can save the world. The season debuts on Amazon Prime November 2. (AV Club) On Becoming a God in Central Florida is a riotous, dark comedy with outstanding 90s nostalgia. Both shocking and moving, it is a provocative look into the fortitude of a woman kicked when she is down. (Slate) Once Upon a Time in Hollywood miniseries confirmed by Brad Pitt to be headed to Netflix. (IndieWire) BRIGHT is brought to you by The Federalist.

NBC

From NBC’s Chuck Todd, Mark Murray and Carrie Dann

FIRST READ: From crowd size to Sharpie-gate, it’s all about debase

It’s one thing for a politician to embarrass himself.

It’s another for that politician to actually use government employees and taxpayer funds to further that embarrassment.

And that’s precisely what President Trump has done to justify his claim that Alabama was somehow a target of Hurricane Dorian – when Dorian has been hitting other states like the Carolinas.

The White House yesterday released this letter from the president’s homeland security and counterterrorism adviser, Rear Adm. Peter J. Brown:

“While speaking to the press Sunday, September 1, the president addressed Hurricane Dorian and its potential impact on multiple states, including Alabama. The president’s comments were based on that morning’s Hurricane Dorian briefing, which including the possibility of tropical storm force winds in southeastern Alabama. In fact, from the evening of Tuesday, August 27, until the morning of Monday September 2, forecasts from the National Hurricane Center showed the possibility of tropical storm force winds hitting parts of Alabama.”

And it’s not the first time Trump has done this with government personnel and resources.

“It’s been the pattern since the very first day of his administration, when he sent out his press secretary to show edited photos inflating his inaugural crowd size,” as NBC’s Shannon Pettypiece writes. “Or a few months later, when he created a commission to search for evidence of widespread voter fraud, after falsely claiming there were millions of illegal votes in 2016.”

“Or in between, when he requested Congress investigate a baseless allegation that President Barack Obama had his phones at Trump Tower wiretapped.”

What we still don’t get is how these bureaucrats and politicians – including those with sterling reputations – allow themselves to get used in this embarrassment.

Why?

By the way, the Washington Post reports that it was Trump himself who used the black Sharpie to mark up that official hurricane map.

Howard Schultz won’t be running for president in 2020 after all

Remember Howard Schultz, the former Starbucks CEO considering an independent White House bid?

Well, he won’t be running for president after all.

Schultz released a statement this morning citing “vitriol,” his back surgeries and the possibility that, yes, a “moderate” could become the Democratic presidential nominee. (Cough, Joe Biden, cough.)

“It has become more likely that the Democratic nominee will not be known before the deadlines to submit the required number of signatures for an independent to get on the ballot. If I went forward, there is a risk that my name would appear on ballots even if a moderate Democrat wins the nomination, and that is not a risk I am willing to take,” Schultz writes.

Cheeseburgers and climate change: Comparing Kamala Harris and Amy Klobuchar

You can tell which Democratic 2020er has a Midwestern constituency and which one doesn’t in how they answered the same cheeseburger/climate change during CNN’s town halls on Wednesday.

QUESTION: Climate change has been linked to — to agriculture and the over consumption of red meat and also the over production of crops. Certain countries have changed the dietary deadlines to reduce the consumption of red meat in light of the impact of — of the climate change. 

If elected, are you — will you be supporting change in dietary guidelines and then how will you plan on implementing the changes so that people effectively change the diets?

KAMALA HARRIS: Yes, I mean it’s — and thank you Carol for your work on the question. There is — I think of the point that you’re raising in the — in a broader context, which is that as a nation we actually have to have a real priority at the highest level of government around what we eat and in terms of health eating because we have a problem in America.

[snip]

I mean just to be very honest with you; I love cheeseburgers from time to time. Right. I mean I — I just do.  And — and I think that — but there is — but there has to be also what we do in terms of creating incentives that we will eat in a healthy way, that we will encourage moderation, and that we will be educated about the effects of our eating s habits on our environment, and we have to do a much better job of that. And the government has to do a much better job of that.

Versus…

QUESTION: Good evening. Thank you. Thank you. The Amazon Rainforest is currently burning after being cleared for the cattle and dairy industry to expand.  And livestock being grown irresponsibly has caused an accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere. 

As a senator from Minnesota, an agricultural state that produces large amounts of cheese and beef, how can young climate change activists, like myself, trust you to take on the beef and dairy industries that have so much influence in our government?

AMY KLOBUCHAR: I am hopeful that we’re going to be able to do this in a way — especially when I am president that we can continue to have hamburgers and cheese. But at the same time, understand that there are many people that choose to eat vegan and that is great too. 

But let me tell you a little bit about a different perspective on our farmers and what we can do to make them part of the solution, because I have seen in rural America many incredible farmers. And ones that are struggling right now to keep going. 

2020 Vision: Manchester United

The 2020 Democratic field is set to descend on the Granite State for the New Hampshire Democratic Party state convention on Saturday, NBC’s Julia Jester and Amanda Golden report.

Unlike other cattle calls in other early states, the convention in Manchester is an opportunity for the 19 candidates speaking – all in under 10 minutes each – to not only court voters, but also earn prime endorsements up for grabs, Jester and Golden add. 

On the campaign trail today: Ahead of the New Hampshire state convention, many of the candidates are in the Granite State: Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Beto O’Rourke all hold town halls… Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar, Tulsi Gabbard, Tim Ryan and Tom Steyer also stump in New Hampshire… And Jill Biden campaigns for her husband in Iowa. 

Michael Reynolds/Pool via Bloomberg

Dispatches from NBC’s embeds: Tulsi Gabbard held a town hall yesterday in New Hampshire, where she said her campaign will be moving forward despite not qualifying for the next debate, and also where she had herself a 2016 Jeb Bush moment. NBC’s Amanda Golden reports, “As Gabbard spoke about how the government of the United States should serve its people, she took a pause, and then told the audience, ‘That’s worth a clap,’ as they then obliged. Paging Jeb Bush…”

Beto O’Rourke wrapped up his first Massachusetts swing with a student meet-and-greet at a brewery, which was mostly attended by students from Boston University, NBC’s Deepa Shivaram reports. “The former Congressman faced questions from folks here on immigration and infrastructure, and was even interrupted during his stump when someone shouted and asked what he was going to do to act (he commented on this in the gaggle and said he loves when people are engaged like they were here [last night].” 

TWEET OF THE DAY: Meet baby Mars! (Congrats Kasie and Matt!)

Five.

09/06/2019 Share: Carl Cannon’s Morning Note ‘Climate Crisis’; Poland’s Role; Quote of the Week By Carl M. Cannon on Sep 06, 2019 08:52 am Good morning, it’s Friday Sept. 6, 2019, the day of the week when I pass along a quotation intended to be uplifting. Today’s comes from a placard raised in Camden Yards on this date in 1995, meaning that it came from an anonymous Baltimore Orioles fan. I’ll have quote that memorable line, and its context, in a moment. First, I’d point you to RealClearPolitics’ front page, which presents our poll averages, videos, breaking news stories, and aggregated opinion columns spanning the political spectrum. We also offer original material from our own reporters and contributors, including the following: * * * “Climate Crisis”: The Media’s New Catchphrase for Climate Change. Kalev Leetaru examines usage numbers for the term, which has surged on CNN. Poland: Keystone to NATO’s Evolving Security Architecture. In RealClearDefense, Daniel Goure writes that Poland is positioned to best counter Russian military threats to Eastern Europe, and is spending the money needed to do so. Ignored Risks That Could Affect the Global Economy. In RealClearMarkets, Jeffrey Snider spotlights a troubling trend in Japan and Argentina. Fake News Seeps Into the Business World. In RealClearPolicy, Jonathan Thomas challenges a Wall Street Journal story alleging that GE has been misleading federal regulators on its cash position — and in turn, misleading its investors. NFL Rules Analyst Is Worried About Football’s Future. In RealClearSports, Mike Pereira lays out his concerns about what the growing numbers of officiating reviews are doing to the game. * * * Because of the changing nature of professional baseball, many the game’s lifetime records will never be broken. No major league pitcher will ever approach Cy Young’s career record 749 complete games. A modern starter who completed 49 complete games would be Hall of Fame material. No one will ever throw 16 shutouts in a season, as Pete Alexander did in 1916, or 110 in a career, an amazing total amassed by Walter Johnson. Yet other marks once deemed unassailable have fallen. Ty Cobb’s stolen base totals were eclipsed by Lou Brock and then Rickey Henderson. Babe Ruth’s home run records were topped by Roger Maris in 1961 and Henry Aaron in 1974. On this date in 1995, the record for durability set by Ruth’s Yankee teammate Lou Gehrig was bettered. The “Iron Horse” had played in an unthinkable 2,130 consecutive games before he benched himself because his body wouldn’t cooperate. In fact, Gehrig’s body betrayed him. He had developed ALS, known forevermore as “Lou Gehrig’s disease.” He said farewell to the baseball world on July 4, 1939 in a ceremony that is still stunningly evocative. Less than two years later, the “Quiet Hero” was gone. The man who outdid his feat, Calvin Edward Ripken Jr., was an Orioles infielder called up to the big leagues in August 1981, two weeks before his 21st birthday. Ripken began the 1982 season as a third baseman, but was switched in July by manager Earl Weaver to shortstop, a position young Cal would help redefine. By then, he had started a streak that no one noticed at first: It began on May 30, 1982, in a game against Toronto at Baltimore’s old Memorial Stadium. For the rest of that year and all of the next, Cal played every game — part of a consecutive inning streak that lasted until 1987 — while winning Rookie of the Year in 1982 and Most Valuable Player in 1983, leading the Orioles to the ’83 World Series title. The Orioles never won another championship, but their shortstop set a standard for durability and class that was its own reward. Cal Ripken played 20 seasons, all of them with Baltimore. He broke Lou Gehrig’s record in 1995, and played in every game for three more years until Sept. 20, 1998, the Orioles last home game of the year. He’d grown up, literally, with the team — his father had been an Orioles coach — and now fans realized that he’d grown old with the Orioles, too. Looking back, there were many memorable moments. But nothing approached the magic in the ballpark on Sept. 6, 1995. The 1994 season had ended disastrously for Major League Baseball with labor strife between owners and players that had done what two world wars and the Great Depression had not managed to do: namely, cancel the World Series. I won’t say, as some did at the time, that Cal Ripken “saved” baseball in 1995, but he certainly reminded Americans what was good and great about the game. Cal homered the night before he tied Lou Gehrig’s record for consecutive games played, then homered the night he equaled it, and yes, homered for a third night in a row the night he broke it. “An almost ridiculous command performance,” wrote the great Thomas Boswell. “You can’t do that on cue in batting practice.” The most extraordinary occurrence that night was even more spontaneous than a home run. Although an elaborate ceremony was planned for after the game, those in the stands couldn’t wait. On this night, the fans got their way. With the Orioles ahead 3-1, the game became official as the Angels went down in the top of 5th inning. The sold-out crowd rose immediately and began cheering. And cheering and cheering. They called for Cal to come out for one encore, and then another. They wouldn’t let the game continue. Did the Angels get sore? Hell, no — they were cheering too, both in the dugout and in the field. The umpires couldn’t do much, either, as they were clapping — along with the ushers, cops, grounds crew, beer vendors, and Cal’s family. Also standing in tribute were Frank Robinson, Ernie Banks, Joe DiMaggio, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and Tipper Gore. Games were stopped in stadiums around the country. Members of the media were not immune. I know this, because I was at Camden Yards myself, covering the White House for the Baltimore Sun and interviewing the First Fan, who had brought daughter Chelsea to the game. “There’s an old saying in baseball, ‘No cheering in the press box,'” play-by-play man Mel Proctor told the television audience as the cameras showed the broadcast team standing and cheering. “We’ll make an exception this time.” After about 10 minutes of cheering and those two curtain calls, Ripken’s teammates shoved him out of the dugout. Once there, he took a lap around the stadium, waving to the fans, shaking hands, hugging people he knew — and he knew a surprising number of them. Cal, being Cal, even stopped to return a cap to a fan who’d dropped it on the field. When Ripken got to the Angels’ dugout, those players and coaches stopped applauding long enough to hug him. He ended back in front of the Orioles’ dugout where he hugged his wife, Kelly, and their two young children. The cameras kept panning to Cal Ripken Sr., wearing a suit — a new look unfamiliar to Orioles fans — and Cal’s mother, Vi. One of the last people in the stands Cal talked to was his brother Billy, in street clothes, one of 30 second basemen Cal played with during the streak. At one point, Cal exchanged waves with the great DiMaggio, who appeared to have a tear in his eye. DiMaggio had played with Gehrig. He was in the lineup on July 4, 1939, when Gehrig told the Yankee Stadium crowd, and the world, that he considered himself “the luckiest man on the face of the Earth.” After the Sept. 6, 1995 game, during the official ceremony, the Yankee Clipper would say, “Wherever my former teammate, Lou Gehrig, is today, I’m sure he’s tipping his cap to you, Cal. You certainly deserve this lasting tribute.” Earlier, in the 5th inning, an Oriole fan waved a sign that said this: “We consider ourselves the luckiest fans on the face of the Earth. Thank you, Cal.” And there’s your quote of the week.  Carl M. Cannon   Washington Bureau chief, RealClearPolitics @CarlCannon (Twitter) ccannon@realclearpolitics.com

Robert Mugabe, longtime Zimbabwe leader, dies at 95 Posted: 06 Sep 2019 01:18 AM PDT HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Robert Mugabe, the former leader of Zimbabwe forced to resign in 2017 after a 37-year rule whose early promise was eroded by economic turmoil, disputed elections and human rights violations, has died.

The gun used in west Texas mass shooting was illegally built, sold: Report Posted: 05 Sep 2019 04:59 PM PDT If you’re wondering why news reports about the alleged west Texas mass shooter have died down much faster than previous mass shootings, it’s because the details that are emerging do not jibe with the gun control agenda being promoted by mainstream media.
