THE FLIP SIDE

View this email in your browser Tuesday, September 10, 2019 2020 Primary Update Leading up to the third Democratic Primary debate this Thursday, Joe Biden leads in the polls followed by Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. RealClearPolitics From the Left The left focuses on the importance of electability. “It has become a habit to scold Democratic voters who say electability is their standard in deciding whom to support for their party’s presidential nomination… Yet like it or not, the most important watchers of the Democratic debate on Thursday will be electability voters, who happen to constitute a majority of the party. And they are right to believe that the priority in 2020 is defeating President Trump… nearly two-thirds of Democrats support one of the three leaders. And things are likely to stay that way if Sanders’s devoted band keeps the faith — and if Biden and Warren convince Democrats that they can, indeed, throw the world’s most inept meteorologist out of the White House.” E.J. Dionne Jr., Washington Post “Like Obama more than a decade ago, Warren is framing her insurgency against an establishment front-runner—in this case, Joe Biden—as a choice between conviction and caution. And in Democratic presidential primaries, conviction candidates with strong grassroots organizations often win… The bad news for Warren is that, so far, electability appears to be a larger concern for Democrats this year than in elections past. When Democrats in late 2007 contemplated losing the presidential election, they imagined a President McCain, Romney, or Giuliani. Today’s Democrats imagine something more terrifying: four more years of Trump… [But] in an era in which politics has become a secular religion, she is betting that passion will overcome political calculation. And judging by the reaction in New Hampshire—where Warren, according to the Times, ‘got the most enthusiastic response of the 19 candidates who appeared’—she may be right.” Peter Beinart, The Atlantic “When asked whether Democrats’ message should be ‘return the country to the way it was before Donald Trump took office’ or ‘advance a more progressive agenda than the country had under Barack Obama,’ 60 percent of Democrats chose the latter. Most voters get that ‘the way things were’ isn’t good enough, even if many establishment Democrats don’t. That’s bad news for Biden, whose pitch aside from electability can be summed up as ‘I was Obama’s vice president’… recent polls have shown that progressives clearly have the momentum in the Democratic race. That’s no surprise: On climate, health care, foreign policy and a host of other issues, the big problems facing the United States demand big solutions. Warren and especially Sanders are the only two candidates offering real change; no wonder more and more Democrats are moving their way.” James Downie, Washington Post “The gap between ‘political realism’ and scientific realism on climate policy is vast and ever-growing. We have procrastinated past the point when incremental, nudge-based approaches to emissions reduction could be described as serious… We have already put enough carbon in the climate to ensure that our planet will grow increasingly inhospitable for the rest of our lives, and the longer we wait to find an alternative means of powering our civilization, the more inhospitable it will become…  “The left must not cede the mantle of ‘realism’ on climate. To rise to the challenge posed by our ecological crisis, centrist Democrats will need to embrace ambitious policies that are consistent with the scientific consensus — even when those policies are inconsistent with their longtime ideological commitments. If Sanders and Warren wish to persuade their colleagues to take that leap — and embrace a Green New Deal — then they must also take it themselves, and cease denying the scientific consensus on nuclear energy.” Eric Levitz, New York Magazine At the same time, “the mistake that Democratic candidates have made is thinking that just because they should activate their progressive id on some issues, they should do so on all issues. There are two main examples, both of which have received a lot of airtime during the presidential debates. The first is the idea of decriminalizing border crossings, so that the illegal entry into this country would be only a civil violation… The second example is a proposal to eliminate private health insurance and require people to have Medicare…  “Several candidates… seem to be advocating an agenda that liberals think black, Latino and Asian-American voters support, rather than the agenda that most actually support. More than 60 percent of voters of color, after all, say that border decriminalization is a bad idea… In many fields — politics, business, the military, sports — successful leaders ask themselves what their opponent wants them to do, and then do the opposite. If Democrats at this week’s debate keep talking about border decriminalization and mandatory Medicare, I know that many well-meaning liberals will be happy. But I can think of someone else who will also be happy: Donald Trump.” David Leonhardt, New York Times From the Right The right is critical of the candidates’ increasingly liberal policy positions. “In every presidential election Democrats won [since 1988], they carried moderates by more than a dozen percentage points. In the elections they lost—in 1988, 2000, 2004 and 2016—they failed to carry moderates by such a margin. That represents a cautionary note as the Democrats’ liberal wing tugs at the large field of candidates angling to defeat President Trump in 2020. As a group, they are taking positions that would have been considered out of the mainstream just a few years ago, urged on by the party’s energized progressive wing… many Democrats think the 2020 election will be won simply by mobilizing the party’s progressive base. History, though, suggests that is a risky proposition.” Gerald F. Seib, Wall Street Journal Regarding support for a carbon tax, “All of these candidates are breaking with past Democrats. Neither President Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton endorsed a carbon tax. A memo for the Clinton campaign estimated that a carbon tax of $42 per ton on greenhouse-gas emissions would raise annual energy costs by $478 for the average household, and by $268 for the poorest fifth of households… [in a November 2018 poll] nearly half of respondents said that recent extreme weather events had influenced their thinking on the issue. But 68 percent opposed paying even $10 extra in their monthly utility bills to address the issue…  “Washington State’s relatively liberal electorate has rejected carbon taxes twice in recent years. In 2016, a carbon tax was paired with a sales-tax cut and drew the opposition of 59% of voters. In 2018, on a generally good day for liberal causes, 56% opposed a carbon tax with no rebate… Resistance to the costs of taxes and regulations is likely to be a bigger obstacle to climate plans, in the end, than disbelief in global warming.” Ramesh Ponnuru, Bloomberg “In the first two decades of this century, the United States substantially reduced its greenhouse-gas emissions, more so than in many Western European countries pursuing active national programs of carbon-dioxide reduction. This happened because the abundant production of natural gas drove down prices and made it attractive to substitute that relatively clean-burning fuel for such relatively high-emissions sources as coal and heating oil for purposes such as generating electricity and heating buildings…  “Democrats offer a pie-in-the-sky ‘Green New Deal’ through which greenhouse-gas emissions might be radically reduced at no real cost to anybody and no meaningful economic disturbance… at some point in the future… by giving today’s Democrats a great deal of money and power and by implementing a bunch of things that look for all the world like the longstanding Democratic policy wish-list, many of them only remotely connected to energy or climate change… A more responsible ‘green’ agenda would consist of helping to enable gas production [including fracking] with a minimum of environmental trouble by regulating and managing the real and undeniable environmental challenges involved in energy production in an intelligent and productive way.” The Editors, National Review “Bureaucracy is ruinously expensive. Twenty-one states now have more noninstructional personnel than teachers in their school systems. Thirty percent of the healthcare dollar is consumed by administration… Democratic candidates avoid criticizing how government works, and hope to attract voters by promising the moon: more healthcare, free tuition, new regulations, and more rights for everybody. Newcomer Andrew Yang, though best known for promising a monthly payout to every American, stands alone in presenting concrete ideas for overhauling broken government… “Democrats pose as ‘change agents’ by attacking big business and proposing to eliminate money in politics. But where is their vision for how government will work better once virtuous people are in charge? By ignoring voter anger at overbearing government, Democrats unwittingly present themselves as the party for the Washington status quo.” Philip K. Howard, Washington Examiner “A lot of party loyalists cringe when they see primary opponents attacking each others’ records. They lament that it’s ‘negative campaigning.’ If you are a challenger, it is almost impossible to gain traction against the frontrunner without criticizing the frontrunner’s record. If Democrats don’t have any ‘negative campaigning’ from here on out, the party will nominate Biden… Four years ago, another unpredictable, gaffe-prone septuagenarian — who also kept getting accused of touching women inappropriately — ran for president, and most of his rivals waited for somebody else to throw the knockout punch. Ask the 2016 Republican contenders how well the plan of waiting worked out for them.” Jim Geraghty, National Review On the bright side… Photographer captures moment ‘curious’ squirrel stops to smell a flower.

POLITICO Playbook: What tonight could tell us about 2020

By JAKE SHERMAN and ANNA PALMER 

09/10/2019 05:48 AM EDT

Presented by

DRIVING THE DAY

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW … TONIGHT, Republican Dan Bishop and Democrat Dan McCready will finally face off in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District. Nearly $20 million has been spent on this race — McCready has spent $4.7 million, Bishop has spent $1.7 million, and the NRCC and CLF have spent a combined $5.4 million. All the groups involved in this race say the same thing: Internal polling has the two candidates within a few points of each other — all within the margin of error.

AS YOU KNOW BY NOW, this district went for President DONALD TRUMP by a dozen points. Democrats don’t have much business holding this seat.

— From Old North State Politics: “The last time a Democrat held the seat was up to 1962, when Hugh Quincy Alexander lost his re-election bid to Republican Jim Broyhill in that year’s mid-term; Republicans have held the different configurations of this district since 1963.” Old North State Politics’ post

WHATEVER HAPPENS TONIGHT, whoever wins this race,there’s going to be a LOT of spin. So we wanted to decode what you’ll hear tomorrow, today:

— IF BISHOP WINS: Republicans are going to gloat that they were able to beat a candidate — McCready, the Democrat — who was running for Congress for more than two years and who spent $4 million. They can say that Trump districts aren’t, in fact, crumbling, like Democrats say they are. Of course, this is true, but not the whole story. The Republican congressional coalition was once built off seats like this — suburbs and exurbs — and if Democrats keep it close, it could highlight some of the GOP’s enduring problem in traditional strongholds. THE GOOD FOR THE GOP: If Bishop wins, it would show that the NRCC and CLF — who were almost sworn enemies last cycle — have learned to take cues from one another and win races. (McCready was once beating Bishop by a sizable margin.)

— IF MCCREADY WINS: If Democrats win a seat that TRUMP won by a dozen points just three years ago, Republicans could be in trouble, and no amount of spin will be able to cover that up. This isn’t a modestly red seat; it’s a solidly red seat. Combine an embarrassing loss with countless Republicans jumping ship for retirement, and that’s a troubling picture for the House GOP in 2020. Republicans are already complaining about Bishop — they say he was a bad candidate with the baggage of the notorious bathroom bill in the North Carolina legislature.

OF COURSE, this is one race in one district in America. (Remember: Republicans lost a whole ton of specials in 2009, and then won the majority.) But narratives matter in politics — and one race can be indicative of future trends.

TRUMP’S CLOSING LINE, delivered in Fayetteville, N.C.: “Tomorrow is your chance to send a clear message to the America-hating left.” More from Steve Shepard and Anita Kumar

FIRST IN PLAYBOOK — PAUL RYAN is joining the American Enterprise Institute as a “distinguished visiting fellow in the practice of public policy.” He is a member of the board of the Fox Corporation and recently moved to Washington.

NEW … FROM HEATHER CAYGLE and JAKE … THE DCCC appears to have narrowed its search for an executive director to two candidates — Lucinda Guinn and Brandon Davis — and expects to come to a decision later this week. Guinn is a VP at EMILY’s List, and Davis was chief of staff at the DNC in 2016. The House Democrats’ campaign committee interviewed 13 people for the position for the open ED job — more than half of whom were people of color.

HAPPENING TODAY … DAYTON MAYOR NAN WHALEY will speak at today’s closed-door Senate Democratic Caucus lunch about pressing Senate Majority Leader MITCH MCCONNELL and TRUMP to take up a House-passed background check bill.

Good Tuesday morning.

SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND: The House has 40 DAYS in session between now and the end of the year. Keep that in mind when people talk about all the things Congress might or might not do — including impeachment — between now and 2020.

A message from Business Roundtable:

As leaders of America’s largest companies, Business Roundtable CEOs urge Congress to focus on key priorities like data privacy this fall. Business Roundtable CEOs across industries sent a letter to Congress today calling on policymakers to lead on nationwide data privacy policy. .

FOR DEMOCRATS’ INVESTIGATIVE FILES … NYT: “Trump Had Deal With Scotland Airport That Sent Flight Crews to His Resort,” by Eric Lipton: “Back in 2014, soon after acquiring a golf resort in Scotland, Donald J. Trump entered a partnership with a struggling local airport there to increase air traffic and boost tourism in the region.

“The next year, as Mr. Trump began running for president, the Pentagon decided to ramp up its use of that same airport to refuel Air Force flights and gave the local airport authority the job of helping to find accommodations for flight crews who had to remain overnight.

“Those two separate arrangements have now intersected in ways that provide the latest evidence of how Mr. Trump’s continued ownership of his business produces regular ethical questions. …

“[D]ocuments obtained from Scottish government agencies show that the Trump Organization, and Mr. Trump himself, played a direct role in setting up an arrangement between the Turnberry resort and officials at Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The government records, released through Scottish Freedom of Information law, show that the Trump organization, starting in 2014, entered a partnership with the airport to try to increase private and commercial air traffic to the region.

“As part of that arrangement, the Trump Organization worked to get Trump Turnberry added to a list of hotels that the airport would routinely send aircrews to, even though the Turnberry resort is 20 miles from the airport, farther away than many other hotels, and has higher advertised prices.” NYT

— “Air Force crews have lodged at Trump’s Scottish resort at least 4 times,” by Natasha Bertrand and Connor O’Brien

— FLASHBACK … FEB. 21, 2016 … THE SCOTSMAN’S MARTYN MCLAUGHLIN: “SNP accused of hypocrisy over Prestwick links with Donald Trump”

— NYT: “Commerce Chief Threatened Firings at NOAA After Trump’s Dorian Tweets, Sources Say,” by Christopher Flavelle, Lisa Friedman and Peter Baker: “The Secretary of Commerce threatened to fire top employees at the federal scientific agency responsible for weather forecasts last Friday after the agency’s Birmingham officecontradicted President Trump’s claim that Hurricane Dorian might hit Alabama, according to three people familiar with the discussion.” NYT

— HAPPENING TODAY: NOAA chief Neil Jacobs is due to speak at the National Weather Service’s annual meeting in Huntsville, Ala., which as we all know was devastated by a hurricane last week.

GOING SWIMMINGLY … AP/SEOUL: “North Korea fires 2 projectiles after offering talks with U.S.”: “The launches and demand for new proposals were apparently aimed at pressuring the United States to make concessions when the North Korea-U.S. talks restart. North Korea is widely believed to want the United States to provide security guarantees and extensive relief from U.S.-led sanctions in return for limited denuclearization steps.” AP

MORE ON OUR FORMER MAN IN MOSCOW … NYT: “C.I.A. Informant Extracted From Russia Had Sent Secrets to U.S. for Decades,” by Julian Barnes, Adam Goldman and David Sanger: “Decades ago, the C.I.A. recruited and carefully cultivated a midlevel Russian official who began rapidly advancing through the governmental ranks. Eventually, American spies struck gold: The longtime source landed an influential position that came with access to the highest level of the Kremlin.

“As American officials began to realize that Russia was trying to sabotage the 2016 presidential election, the informant became one of the C.I.A.’s most important — and highly protected — assets. But when intelligence officials revealed the severity of Russia’s election interference with unusual detail later that year, the news media picked up on details about the C.I.A.’s Kremlin sources.

“C.I.A. officials worried about safety made the arduous decision in late 2016 to offer to extract the source from Russia. The situation grew more tense when the informant at first refused, citing family concerns — prompting consternation at C.I.A. headquarters and sowing doubts among some American counterintelligence officials about the informant’s trustworthiness. But the C.I.A. pressed again months later after more media inquiries. This time, the informant agreed.” NYT

UHH, NBC? … KEN DILANIAN: “A former senior Russian official is living in the Washington area under U.S. government protection, current and former government officials tell NBC News. NBC News is withholding the man’s name and other key details at the request of U.S. officials, who say reporting the information could endanger his life.

“Yet the former Russian government official, who had a job with access to secrets, was living openly under his true name. An NBC News correspondent went to the man’s house in the Washington area and rang the doorbell. Five minutes later, two young men in an SUV came racing up the street and parked immediately adjacent to the correspondent’s car.” NBC

THE PRESIDENT’S TUESDAY … THE PRESIDENT will have lunch with VP Mike Pence at 12:30 p.m. At 1:50 p.m., Trump will leave the White House for the Renaissance near the convention center. At 2:15 p.m., he is scheduled to address the 2019 National Historically Black Colleges and Universities Week Conference. At 3:05 p.m., he’ll head back to the White House, and at 4 p.m., he will meet with Hill Republican leaders. At 5:30 p.m., the president will host a swearing-in ceremony for Kelly Craft, his U.N. ambassador.

PREVIEW OF THE PRESIDENT’S MEETING WITH GOP LEADERS … BURGESS EVERETT and MARIANNE LEVINE: “Senate Republican leaders discussed gun legislation in an hourlong party meeting on Monday evening, including expanding background checks, according to an attendee. But no one is making a move without President Donald Trump, who senators expect will be presented options on gun legislation by White House officials later this week.

“Trump himself has been nearly impossible to pin down on the issue. Top GOP leaders in the House and Senate — including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Majority Whip John Thune, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Minority Whip Steve Scalise — will meet with Trump on Tuesday to discuss the fall agenda, according to three sources familiar with the meeting. That gives Republicans the opportunity to hear the latest from the president himself.

“Trump has sounded at times optimistic or noncommittal about new gun legislation. With memories of last year’s government shutdown fresh in their minds after Trump rejected their spending bill, Senate Republicans have no interest in getting ahead of Trump on such a charged cultural issue.

“‘We are very interested in knowing what his plan and proposal is and what he’d be willing to sign,’ Thune said, after the party leadership met on Monday. ‘All of our members, if this meeting [Monday] was any indication, believe that the president needs to indicate what it is he will be for.’” POLITICO

WHAT THE WEST WING WILL BE READING … WAPO: “For the first time ever, most new working-age hires in the U.S. are people of color,” by Heather Long and Andrew Van Dam: “The surge of minority women getting jobs has helped push the U.S. workforce across a historic threshold. For the first time, most new hires of prime working age (25 to 54) are people of color, according to a Washington Post analysis of data the Labor Department began collecting in the 1970s. Minority hires overtook white hires last year.

“Women are predominantly driving this trend, which is so powerful that even many women who weren’t thinking about working — because they were in school, caring for kids or at home for other reasons — are being lured into employment, according to The Post’s analysis.

“Minority women began to pour into the labor market in 2015, and they have begun to reshape the demographics of the U.S. workforce, especially because many white baby boomers have been retiring. There are 5.2 million more people in the United States with jobs than at the end of 2016, and 4.5 million of them are minorities, according to The Post’s analysis of Labor Department data.” WaPo

NYT’S SHERYL STOLBERG in Laredo, Texas: “In Texas, a Lone House Democrat Has an ‘A’ Rating From the N.R.A. Can He Survive?”: “In this gun-friendly border city, where Tuesdays are “ladies’ nights” at the shooting range and pistols in hip holsters are a common sight, Representative Henry Cuellar is a proud defender of the Second Amendment, the lone House Democrat from Texas with an ‘A’ rating from the National Rifle Association.

“‘This is not New York, this is Texas,’ Mr. Cuellar said in an interview. ‘So you talk about guns, you talk about God, you talk about trucks.’ … Mr. Cuellar is emblematic of the shift. He voted this year for a House bill expanding background checks for gun buyers, which will almost certainly cost him his N.R.A. ‘A’ rating and the campaign contributions and endorsement that went along with it. …

“Now, he is facing a new reality: a primary challenge from the left. His opponent, Jessica Cisneros, 26, an immigration rights lawyer who once worked as Mr. Cuellar’s intern, is backed by the Justice Democrats, the group that helped elect Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the liberal firebrand from New York. Ms. Cisneros has demanded that Mr. Cuellar give back his N.R.A. contributions, including $6,950 he received for his 2018 race.” NYT

AJC: “Ossoff to run for U.S. Senate in Georgia,” by Greg Bluestein: “The Democrat told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution he would ‘raise a grassroots army unlike any this state has ever seen’ by expanding the network of supporters who helped him raise roughly $30 million in a 2017 special election he narrowly lost. …

“The 32-year-old announced his Senate run in tandem with the highest-profile endorsement yet in the contest: U.S. Rep. John Lewis, the Atlanta Democrat and civil rights icon who said Ossoff ‘sparked a flame that is burning brighter than ever.’” AJC

TEXAS TRIBUNE: “Texas Sen. Pat Fallon exploring primary challenge to Republican U.S. Sen. John Cornyn,” by Patrick Svitek: “State Sen. Pat Fallon, R-Prosper, announced Monday evening he is exploring a primary challenge to U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, potentially giving the state’s senior senator his most prominent intraparty opponent yet.

“Fallon, a former state representative elected to the Texas Senate last year, told a Tea Party group here that he was forming an exploratory committee and moving on a quick timeline, hoping to have a conversation with GOP voters over the next few days. Fallon said that for six months, he had been hoping that a ‘viable conservative choice’ would step up to take on Cornyn, but that person never emerged.” Texas Tribune

“The lawsuit contends that Maddow’s comment on her July 22 MSNBC show were retaliation after OAN President Charles Herring accused cable television giant Comcast of censorship. The suit contends that Comcast refused to carry the channel because it ‘counters the liberal politics of Comcast’s own news channel, MSNBC.’” AP

President Trump made a campaign appearance in North Carolina on Monday night as Republicans make a last-ditch effort to win a special election in the state’s 9th Congressional District, a race that could be a sign of things to come on both the presidential and congressional scene in 2020. Trump campaigned in support of Republican Dan Bishop, who looks to fend off Democrat Dan McCready in a district that leans Republican, but where Democrats have been competitive as they continue a surge of energy against the president that was exhibited in November.  McCready infamously lost in November to Republican Mark Harris, but Harris was never certified the winner after an illegal ballot-harvesting effort cost Republicans the seat, setting up the special election. However, Trump expressed optimism that Bishop will win the contest, calling it the first step to taking back the House majority  “Tomorrow, right here in North Carolina, we take the first steps to firing Nancy Pelosi and taking back the House,” said Trump, who called Bishop up earlier in the rally to address the crowd.  The contest is viewed as a toss-up despite the district in 2016 going heavily for Trump, who pulled 54 percent support over 42 percent for Hillary Clinton.  According to one GOP strategist who’s been closely following the race, optimism is not high that Bishop will pull out a win Tuesday night, noting that Bishop — best known for authoring the North Carolina “bathroom bill” — has not spent a ton on his own, although Republican outside groups have come in heavily on behalf of the GOP candidate. According to The Charlotte Observer, GOP groups have dropped nearly $7 million in the district, with Democratic groups spending nearly $4 million on behalf of McCready as of Friday.  “It’s not looking good,” the GOP strategist said, predicting that Bishop will lose somewhere inside the margin of error. If Bishop wins, Republicans believe it’s largely going to be because Trump will have dragged him across the finish line after rallying support in Fayetteville, N.C., on Monday night. According to a recent Inside Elections poll, Trump’s approval rating in the district sits at 47 percent, down from 52 percent at the end of 2018, according to a different poll.  “The presidential push will give Dan Bishop a lead when all votes are counted. The picture two weeks ago was very bleak,” said one North Carolina GOP operative.  A win for Democrats would be a major boon to the party, both on the 2020 presidential scene and in the party’s push to keep hold of the House majority. As one Democratic operative noted, among the 31 House Democrats who sit in districts won by Trump in 2016, there are only two where Trump won by a greater margin: Minnesota’s 7th Congressional District, which Rep. Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) represents, and New York’s 22nd Congressional District, where Rep. Anthony Brindisi (D-N.Y.) won in 2018. Trump won the districts by 30 and 15 points, respectively.  Democrats also believe that a tight race, let alone a McCready win, could bring with it a new round of retirements by House Republicans. Fifteen Republicans have announced that they will either retire, resign or run for a different office, with more likely to come in the coming weeks and months. “Putting a pin where the battlefield is for the 2020 cycle,” said the Democratic strategist when asked what’s at stake on Tuesday. “GOP leadership cannot get them to keep them in their seats. A tight race in North Carolina accelerates the rate of GOP retirements.”  “If we are playing in this part of the battlefield, Democrats are fully on offense,” the strategist continued. The Hill: Influential tribe set to play key role in N.C. election. The Associated Press: At rally, Trump paints bleak picture of Democratic control. The New York Times: Moderate Democrats fared best in 2018.

LEADING THE DAY

CONGRESS: Congress made its long-awaited return to Washington on Monday, with open questions surrounding what could be done to reduce gun violence in the wake of three mass shootings since the beginning of August.  More than any, the answer to one question remains elusive as the conversation heats up on the topic: What will the president support?  As Jordain Carney writes, just over a week after the shooting in West Texas and over a month since those in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, the president is facing a make-or-break moment on gun reforms. Lawmakers, who say they are still in the dark about what the president would sign, are calling on him to provide “guidelines” for potential legislation. On Sunday, Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) did just that, saying the president needs to “step up” and create guidelines for lawmakers to follow. “The president needs to step up here and set some guidelines for what he would do,” Blunt told “Meet The Press.” “I’m afraid what’s going to happen here is what always happens, is we take this silly ‘if we don’t get everything, we won’t do anything.’” Since the shootings in early August, Trump has consistently sent mixed signals about what he could back, having said on a number of occasions — including in discussions with Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) — that he wants to look at expanded background checks but then backing off and arguing that mental illness is the main issue to tackle. Murphy said in a statement on Monday that while he continues to negotiate, “time is running short” to strike a deal on background checks, adding that it’s more likely that nothing will get done on the issue the way things are moving at this point.  “I think time is running short to find a compromise on background checks. I’m still negotiating in good faith to find a bipartisan proposal that will expand checks to cover more commercial sales and save lives, and I continue to take the president at his word that he wants the same thing,” Murphy said. “But as each day goes by, it seems more likely that we’re going to find ourselves back in a familiar place where 90 percent of the Americans who want more background checks are going to be disappointed once again.”  Nevertheless, supporters need him on their side to strike a deal. Senate Republicans, under pressure to act on some gun control measures, say they don’t want to move forward without political cover from Trump, as they want to keep support from their base strong ahead of the 2020 election, as Alexander Bolton reports.  Trump’s lack of clarity has made life difficult for vulnerable Republicans, giving mixed signals as to where he might go on the issue and leaving them stalling for time as they try to figure out where the president will ultimately end up.  > Impeachment: House Judiciary Committee Democrats have expanded their already sprawling investigation into Russian interference to include new areas of inquiry, as the panel weighs whether to introduce articles of impeachment against the president. In addition to Democrats examining possible episodes of obstruction as laid out in former special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) has announced in recent days that the panel will also examine payments made to two women claiming they had affairs with Trump, reports the president dangled pardons to border officials, and whether the president has profited from government trips in which administration and Air Force officials used taxpayer dollars to stay at his family-owned properties.  Additionally, the panel is also preparing to have its first recorded vote this week on a resolution that would formalize procedures for the panel amid its growing impeachment investigation. Both the expansion and efforts to lay out its investigative powers come as the panel lacks public support for impeachment (The Hill). Politico: House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) lashes Michael Flynn for refusing to cooperate. The Washington Post: Democrats investigate whether Trump, Giuliani pressured Ukraine to aid 2020 reelection bid. The Hill: Ten notable Democrats who do not favor impeachment ***** POLITICS & CAMPAIGNS: The president’s reelection campaign is moving to block three Republicans challenging him in next year’s primary election, cognizant of the potential threat those challengers represent to Trump’s hold on his vaunted Republican base.   Trump’s campaign has worked for months to limit a challenger’s ability to test the president’s hold on his Republican base, as Reid Wilson reports. His team has moved to install pro-Trump party officials in key states, ousting incumbents to do so if necessary.  Most recently, several states voted over the weekend to end primaries or caucuses that would have given those challengers an opportunity to attract votes and attention. South Carolina party officials went so far as to do so in apparent violation of their own rules. The Hill: Trump says he won’t debate primary opponents. The Atlanta Journal Constitution: Jon Ossoff to run for Senate in Georgia. The Wall Street Journal: Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) weighs future in Trump’s GOP. > Criminal Justice: Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) released a new criminal justice plan on Monday that would end mandatory minimum sentencing, the death penalty and cash bail in an effort to create a system focused on fairness and building safe communities. Harris says her plan to end mass incarceration is part of a shift to a “crime reduction” policy. Ending mandatory minimum sentences would be effective at the federal level, with her pushing for states to follow suit. Her plan would also legalize marijuana, expunge records containing marijuana convictions, and nix federal bans that prevent previously incarcerated individuals from accessing public assistance programs. “My entire career has been spent making needed reforms and fighting for those who too often are voiceless — from young people arrested for the first time and getting them jobs instead of jail, to grieving Black mothers who wanted justice for their child’s murder as the system ignored their pain,” Harris said in a statement. “This plan uses my experience and unique capability to root out failures within the justice system.”  Harris released the plan only days before she is set to take part in the third Democratic debate in Houston and as she tries to claw her way back into the top tier of the primary battle. After a polling surge following the first debate in Miami, Harris has seen her support levels crater to where they were before that debate (The Hill).  Politico: “It’s a deceptive lead”: Why former Vice President Joe Biden’s rivals are planning around his big collapse. The Hill: Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) endorses Rep. Henry Cuellar’s (D-Texas) primary challenger.

IN FOCUS/SHARP TAKES

WHITE HOUSE/ADMINISTRATION: The president said Monday that peace negotiations with the Taliban are “dead” after he cancelled planned meetings at Camp David with Taliban leadership and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani over the weekend.  “They are dead. They are dead. As far as I’m concerned, they are dead,” Trump told reporters about the peace talks, noting that the Taliban took responsibility for the attack that killed an American soldier. “You can’t do that. You can’t do that with me. So they are dead as far as I’m concerned,” Trump said.  Trump said the administration is “looking at” whether to move forward with reducing troop levels in the region. A possible reduction of forces was one element of the preliminary deal with the Taliban that was not finalized (The Associated Press).  “We’d like to get out, but we’ll get out at the right time,” Trump said. The Associated Press: Trump’s Afghanistan decision pushes country toward vote. The New York Times: C.I.A. Informant extracted from Russia had sent secrets to U.S. for decades. > Alabama, cont.: The president’s unending claim that Alabama was in the path of Hurricane Dorian took a new turn Monday when news surfaced that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross threatened to fire top staffers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on Friday after the agency’s Birmingham office contradicted the president. According to The New York Times, Ross told Dr. Neil Jacobs, the acting NOAA administrator, “to fix the agency’s perceived contradiction of the president,” adding that political staffers would be fired if the situation was not rectified.  The battle over Alabama is one Trump has continued to tweet about as recently as Saturday when he sent out three missives on the subject, including a video taking a shot at CNN.  After news of Ross’s intervention was reported, Democrats began calling for the commerce secretary’s resignation. Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) said in a statement that the threat directed at NOAA employees is an “embarrassing new low” for the secretary, adding that he “does not deserve the trust of the American people or a place in the Cabinet.” “He should be dismissed immediately,” Beyer said. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) declined to call for Ross’s ouster, but blasted the commerce secretary for “thuggish behavior” and forcing NOAA staffers to “bow down in obeisance to an anti-science president.”

© Getty Images  > Housing: The president is facing an arduous path to overhaul the federal housing finance system as lawmakers remain sharply divided on how to address the issue.  The administration’s first test comes Tuesday, when top officials are slated to appear before the Senate to explain and defend their plan to end the federal government’s control over two pillars of the U.S. housing finance system. Lawmakers have struggled for more than a decade to release the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, better known as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, from Washington’s control.   While there is wide bipartisan agreement that federal housing policy is in dire need of reform, Congress lacks consensus with the 2020 presidential election approaching and remains unlikely to take action in the near future (The Hill). The Wall Street Journal: Judge blocks Trump restrictions on asylum claims nationwide.

➔ Brexit: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson moved to suspend Parliament until shortly before the United Kingdom is set to leave the European Union. Lawmakers responded by demanding Johnson’s government release private correspondence by officials about its plans for Brexit, which they are required to release under parliamentary rules. Lawmakers are pushing for those to be released by Wednesday (The Associated Press). Johnson reiterated on Tuesday that he would not request a Brexit extension as lawmakers once again blocked his request to hold an election on the issue (Reuters). ➔ Cargo rescue: The Coast Guard rescued all four men who were trapped in a cargo ship more than a day after it overturned while leaving a Georgia port.

And finally … a dose of positive news. Former Boston Red Sox great David Ortiz made his first public appearance on Monday night three months after being shot in the Dominican Republic.  Ortiz, a three-time World Series champion, took the mound at Fenway Park to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Red Sox took on the New York Yankees. Ortiz made a high toss to former Red Sox teammate Jason Varitek, and thanked the fans for their continued prayers and support through the ordeal (The Boston Globe).  “I want to thank all of you for all the prayers,” Ortiz said. “I really appreciate it. Thank you very much. I want to thank my former teammates for being there for me. So, a lot of them came home to check up on my boy. Also, I want to thank the Yankees, a lot of my boys over there and checked up on Big Papi. Thank you very much, appreciate it. CC (Sabathia), (Edwin) Encarnación. Thank you very much. God bless you all. Go Sox.”

Valerie Plame Announces Her Run for Congress Former CIA agent Valerie Plame announced her run for the Democratic nomination in the House race in New Mexico’s 3rd District. Plame entered the national conscience after her name was illegally leaked to the Washington Post by members of George W. Bush Administration. But since she left the CIA, Plame came under fire for tweeting several articles from an anti-Semitic website that blamed Jews for 9/11 and accused American Jews of “driving America’s wars.” Predictably, the number of outlets that chose to focus on Plame’s support of the anti-Semitic website (and on her potential anti-Semitism) has been mixed. The ad announcing her run is titled “Undercover” and glamorizes Plame’s past work in the CIA. Henry Rodgers of The Daily Caller noted several problems with the ad, which features Plame driving a speeding around in a Chevy Camaro:  “In the ad, Plame…suggests she was stationed in Iran and the DPRK, which she was not. She also uses the CIA seal, which is illegal, as use the use of official government seals and logos without permission is restricted by federal law. Plame also randomly mentions that she is descended from “Ukrainian-Jewish immigrants,” after being accused of being anti-Semitic. In 2017, Plame retweeted an article titled “America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars” from a website run by a Holocaust denier.” Todd Palin Files for Divorce from Former Alaska Gov. and VP Candidate Sarah Palin After 31 years of marriage, Todd Palin has filed for divorce from Sarah Palin, citing “incompatibility of temperament between the parties such that they find it impossible to live together as husband and wife.” From Anchorage Daily News: “The Palin family rocketed to national prominence in 2008 when Republican presidential nominee John McCain chose Palin as his vice-presidential candidate, making them household names and focusing the country’s attention on their hometown of Wasilla. The marriage of Sarah and Todd, a commercial fisherman, snowmachine racer and oil field worker, was frequently on display in TV interviews, reality shows, books and other media appearances. Palin resigned as governor in 2009. Since leaving office, Sarah Palin has kept a low profile in Alaska politics, while maintaining a national profile through her books, speaking engagements and social media presence.”   Juul Coming under Fire with the FDA Yesterday, the FDA issues a warning to the e-cigarette producer Juul for illegally marketing its products as a “safer” alternative to cigarettes. Juul has 15 days to respond to the FDA’s request for corrective action and plan for compliance moving forward.  The e-cigarette producer has come to national attention recently due to its growing prominence amongst American teenagers, coupled with how little is known about the long-term effects of e-cigarette smoking. From CNN: “Regardless of where products like e-cigarettes fall on the continuum of tobacco product risk, the law is clear that, before marketing tobacco products for reduced risk, companies must demonstrate with scientific evidence that their specific product does in fact pose less risk or is less harmful. JUUL has ignored the law, and very concerningly, has made some of these statements in school to our nation’s youth,” Acting FDA Commissioner Dr. Ned Sharpless said in a statement. “We will continue to scrutinize tobacco product marketing and take action as appropriate to ensure that the public is not misled into believing a certain product has been proven less risky or less harmful,” he said. “We’ve also put the industry on notice: If the disturbing rise in youth e-cigarette use continues, especially through the use of flavors that appeal to kids, we’ll take even more aggressive action.” What I’m Reading Today Like the Vast Majority of Women, Tulsi Gubbard Opposes Late-Term Abortion (The Federalist) Elizabeth Warren’s Daft Fracking Scheme (National Review) Jonathan Franzen’s Crazy Climate Rant Contains a Nugget of Truth (The Federalist) Pete Buttigieg Tried to Use the Bible to Argue for Abortion up to Birth. He’s Wildly Wrong, As Usual. (Daily Wire)              The Return of Archaic Forms of Power (Quillette)   Beauty Recommendations for the Week Farmacy, Honeymoon Glow AHA Resurfacing Night Serum, $58 I’ve been using this serum that smells faintly of flowers and honey for the past week. I’ve used it three times over the course of the week (per the directions). It’s gentle enough to use on my skin without causing irritation or redness, and I’m happy to have found a serum that works not only to brighten skin but also to counteract aging. I have tried retinol cream and vitamin C serum in the past and found it way to harsh for my skin (picture bumpy rash). This serum seems like a good product for gradually introducing your skin to anti-aging products without “shocking” your complexion. Slight tingle, but nothing cataclysmic and goes away in a few minutes. Overall, worth the money, but let’s see if I erase some years with it.    Benefit, Boi-ing Cakeless Concealer, $22 I was intrigued when I saw this liquid concealer. For the record, I have used Boi-ing’s “industrial strength” concealer for under my eyes since I was in college (apparently, that’s when the all-nighters in the library started). It comes in a small pot and requires blending with your fingers. It was so good that I got my bubbe using it, as well. So I tried the liquid version. It is good, but unlike its more solid counterpart, it has slightly less coverage. It is a good alternative to the concealer in a pot if you are looking for a product that is slightly more blendable. Overall, I would still prefer the original Boi-ing concealer in the pot, but if you have any issues with makeup creasing, this is likely a better option. BRIGHT is brought to you by The Federalist.

SCOTT RASMUSSEN

ScottRasmussen.com Launch – Check Out My All New Website No Images? Click here   Good morning, The ScottRasmussen.com monthly Congressional update found that 38% of voters now believe that Congress is too liberal. Thirty-one percent (31%) believe it is too conservative.  Last month, voters were evenly divided on the question. Just 28% now believe it is even somewhat likely that Congress will successfully address major issues facing the nation before the 2020 elections.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is now viewed favorably by 38% of voters and unfavorably by 48%. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell earns favorable ratings from 33% and negative reviews from 43%. Both McConnell and Pelosi have a net favorability rating of -10.  As the Democrats prepare for Round 3 of their presidential debates, Joe Biden’s lead is down to single digits. Biden, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren remain the top three candidates well ahead of everybody else. We will continue tracking the race daily throughout the week. Forty-two percent (42%) of voters believe that President Trump should be impeached and removed from office. Forty-five percent (45%) disagree. Just 30% of voters believe the federal government has the right to ban a private landowner from allowing fracking on their own property. A ScottRasmussen.com national survey found that 43% disagree and say the government does not have that right.  Democrats are evenly divided on this question. Republicans and Independents are more likely to say the government has no right to ban fracking on private property. Finally, today’s Number of the Day notes an interesting form of U.S. global influence. Sixty-two (62) heads of state or heads of government have received higher education training in the United States. That’s more world leaders than have been educated by any other nation.

In moral logic, what is the difference? If the murder of innocent people is for whatever reason excusable, it is excusable; if it is legitimate, it is legitimate. If acceptable on a small scale, so too on a grand.” I wish his observation was taken to heart by more of our chattering class. To this day, the Palestinian Authority still pays convicted terrorists stipends, incentivizing terror, while these same people criticize Israeli “settlements” as if terrorism was a mere distraction. But terrorism is (for now) an essential part of the Palestinian cause. Peace won’t come until that’s acknowledged and the Palestinians are forced to come to terms with Israel’s existence.

In considering his plight and the suffering of his family for all these years, it’s worth noting that Israel has frequently returned to Lebanon a mentally ill man (who Hezbollah has repeatedly abused by sending him across the border to ‘test’ its defenses). It’s more evidence of Israel’s compliance with the laws of armed conflict—and the depraved inhumanity of the terror organizations arrayed against it, Hezbollah used mentally ill Lebanese man to probe Israeli border and electric fences.”                 Legal Insurrection Foundation is a Rhode Island tax-exempt corporation established exclusively for charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code to educate and inform the public on legal, historical, economic, academic, and cultural issues related to the Constitution, liberty, and world events.

REALCLEARPOLITICS

09/10/2019 Share: Carl Cannon’s Morning Note Presented by Fisher Investments: Maine Senate Race; Green Promises; 9/10/01 By Carl M. Cannon on Sep 10, 2019 08:08 am Good morning, it’s Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2019. On this date in 2001, a president who’d been in office less than eight months was touring Florida classrooms. George W. Bush was doing made-for-TV events to drum up support for his plan to bolster effective teaching methods in the nation’s public schools. Over time, the reforms set in motion by this push from Washington took on official names: The No Child Left Behind Act during Bush’s presidency and Common Core during Barack Obama’s tenure in the White House. Then, as now, both were targeted by an odd-bedfellows alliance of left-wing Democrats and right-wing Republicans. Eighteen years ago today, however, Dubya’s approach was not ideological. It was down-to-earth. “It’s time to wage war on illiteracy for the young, and to whip this problem,” the president said that afternoon, as his brother — Florida’s governor — looked on. The setting was Justina Road Elementary School in a working-class Jacksonville neighborhood. There, both Bushes emphasized that quality education should not be a partisan matter. “Getting every child to read in America is an American issue, and it ought to be an American goal,” President Bush added. “There are great teachers who have got wonderful hearts who don’t know how to teach reading.” I’ll have more on that day 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: * * * “Dark Money”-Fueled Ads Heat Up Maine Senate Battle. Susan Crabtree reports on efforts to unseat four-term incumbent Susan Collins in what’s shaping up as one of the most hotly contested 2020 races. CNN’s Climate Debate Hurts the Democrats It Tried to Help. Charles Lipson writes that the extravagant promises made by the presidential candidates last week would likely harm the eventual nominee’s chances in the general election. 2020 Coverage: After Biden, Also-Ran Order Varies by Channel. Kalev Leetaru has the latest numbers from the Television News Archive. Ten Debating Democrats Giving It the Old College Try. Bill Whalen draws comparisons between the 2020 candidates and football teams with title aspirations. Government Price-Fixing Will Put Health Care on Life Support. Ron Paul urges Congress to consider Independent Dispute Resolution as a better way to protect the interests of providers, insurers, and patients. Why Is Surprise Medical Billing Congress’ Problem? In RealClearPolicy, James Capretta faults the insurance industry for failing to take steps that could have kept Capitol Hill at bay. It’s Time to Escalate Against Nicaragua’s Ortega. In RealClearWorld, Ryan Berg calls for the U.S. and the OAS to step up pressure against the regime. “The Case Against Education.” In RealClearBooks, Max Diamond interviews Bryan Caplan, whose new work assails the rise of credentialism and useless degrees. * * * Jeb Bush had helped select Justina Road Elementary as the backdrop for his older brother’s push for No Child Left Behind because of its rising test scores. After the president spoke, the governor who had made education such a priority in Florida took his turn to speak. “I agree with you,” he said. “And you agree with our mother — that reading is maybe the most important thing we can do to ensure there is rising student achievement.” From there, the president went to Longboat Key for the night before heading to Sarasota — and a similar session there at Emma E. Booker Elementary the following morning. The staffers in the advance team had selected a book for Bush to read aloud to the kids. It was titled “The Pet Goat.” Meanwhile, a complementary event was being prepared in Washington. Although education policy wasn’t yet a strictly partisan issue, the House and the Senate had passed divergent versions of No Child Left Behind and the legislation was languishing in a conference committee that was supposed to reconcile the two bills. Among Bush’s staunchest allies was Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. The iconic Massachusetts liberal was planning hearings the following day, Sept. 11, 2001. Among the invited witnesses was first lady Laura Bush, who planned to tell the Senate education committee, which Kennedy chaired, about the results of a summit on early childhood cognition she had hosted earlier that summer at Georgetown University. Ted Kennedy had attended some of those July sessions and had personally invited Mrs. Bush to testify. On the eve of the hearings, his staff checked with the first lady’s office to make sure things were on track for Tuesday, Sept. 11. They were told that Mrs. Bush was looking forward to it, that everything was going to be fine. That’s what nearly everyone thought. Adding to the sense of optimism: The next day’s weather promised to be clear and pleasant. The sky, as Bruce Springsteen would later write, was an unbelievable blue. But that wasn’t a good omen. And in New York City, Arlington, Va., and central Pennsylvania — where lethal black smoke would fill the air the following morning — it was more akin to an illusion.  Carl M. Cannon   Washington Bureau chief, RealClearPolitics @CarlCannon (Twitter) ccannon@realclearpolitics.com For years, many pundits and politicians have claimed Internet behemoths are too powerful and monopolistic. Then, in June, the House announced they would launch a probe into several tech giants. Despite many possible outcomes, we don’t view these possibilities as a reason to avoid Tech now.

NBC

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

FIRST READ: North Carolina will be a hot spot today — and until November 2020

For all of the attention that Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin get – due to President Trump’s surprising victories in those states in 2016 – don’t forget that North Carolina (with its 15 electoral votes) remains an important battleground state in 2020.

That’s the 30,000-foot reminder when it comes to today’s NC-9 congressional do-over election, where Democrat Dan McCready faces off against Republican Dan Bishop in a district that Trump won by 12 points in ’16.

Trump carried the Tar Heel State by 3.7 points in 2016, and the polling (especially before the Comey letter in the last two weeks) had it even closer than that.

So in addition to North Carolina being a presidential battleground state in 2020, it also features a competitive Senate race (with vulnerable GOP Sen. Thom Tillis up for re-election), a competitive gubernatorial race (with Dem Roy Cooper up for re-election) and the GOP presidential convention (which will take place in Charlotte).

Oh, and the state is going to have new state legislative district lines – after state judges ruled that the current ones are illegal partisan gerrymanders. 

So don’t sleep on North Carolina over the next 14 months.

Data Download: And the number of the day is … 905 votes

905 votes. 

That was the margin in the original NC-9 race last November, when Republican Mark Harris received 139,246 votes and Democrat Dan McCready got 138,341.

The results were thrown out after the state discovered illegal ballot harvesting.

But given that close margin, here are the major county-by-county percentages – if you want to see how McCready is performing in tonight’s NC-9 do-over compared with 2018.

Mecklenberg

McCready 54 percent
Harris 44 percent

Union

Harris 59 percent
McCready 39 percent


Cumberland

McCready 51 percent
Harris 47 percent


Bladen

Harris 58 percent
McCready 41 percent 

NYT: Commerce secretary threatened to fire NOAA officials after Trump’s hurricane tweets

Sharpie-gate has produced plenty of laughs, but yesterday’s report by the New York Times wasn’t funny.

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross “threatened to fire top employees at the federal scientific agency responsible for weather forecasts last Friday after the agency’s Birmingham office contradicted President Trump’s claim that Hurricane Dorian might hit Alabama, according to three people familiar with the discussion,” the paper writes.

“Mr. Ross phoned Neil Jacobs, the acting administrator of NOAA, from Greece where the secretary was traveling for meetings and instructed Dr. Jacobs to fix the agency’s perceived contradiction of the president,” the Time adds.

And: “Dr. Jacobs objected to the demand and was told that the political staff at NOAA would be fired if the situation was not fixed, according to the three individuals, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the episode.”

A Commerce Department spokesperson disputed the NYT report in a statement to NBC News. “The New York Times story is false. Secretary Ross did not threaten to fire any NOAA staff over forecasting and public statements about Hurricane Dorian.”

Boris Johnson loses – again

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson failed to convince Parliament to call for snap elections, per NBC News.

Just 293 members supported the motion – far short of the (at least) 434 needed.

That defeat for Johnson came on the same day as a new law went into effect blocking him from pursuing a “no deal” Brexit withdrawal from the European Union.

2020 Vision: Ossoff is Oss-on in Georgia

Failed 2017 GA-6 candidate Jon Ossoff has announced his bid for Georgia Senate.

Importantly, however, Ossoff is running for GOP Sen. David Perdue’s seat – not the one that Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson will be vacating at the end of the year, triggering a second 2020 Senate race in Georgia.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Ossoff announced his Senate bid in tandem with an endorsement from Rep. John Lewis.

“Like the many thousands Jon has already organized and inspired, I am ready to work tirelessly to elect him,” Lewis said. “Georgia and America need Jon.” 

On the campaign trail today: Pete Buttigieg (at 3:45 pm ET), Julian Castro (at 4:10 pm), Amy Klobuchar (at 4:25 pm) and Cory Booker (at 4:45 pm) speak at a Congressional Hispanic Caucus presidential forum in DC… And Elizabeth Warren holds a town hall in Austin, Texas.

Dispatches from NBC’s embeds: Bernie Sanders held a rally yesterday in Denver, where he pulled in a larger-than-average crowd, per NBC’s Gary Grumbach: “The Sanders campaign rarely holds rallies of this magnitude. When asked why Denver, the campaign says this is part of their outreach to not just the earliest states, but to the Super Tuesday states as well.” Campaign officials estimated the crowd size at 10,000 attendees.  Fittingly for Colorado, Sanders focused on the need to legalize marijuana, “Thank you, Colorado, for leading the way to the legalization of marijuana. And that is what we have got to do nationally. And what we also have to do is expunge the records of those people arrested for possession.”

Julián Castro spent time at his Houston rally discussing the upcoming Democratic debate on Thursday. NBC’s Deepa Shivaram reports that Castro says “there’s nothing particularly new he’s doing to prepare,” but, “he hopes ABC and Univision will ask questions about topics that aren’t always in the news, like housing. Before he wrapped, Castro called on ABC to enforce equal speaking times for the candidates.” Castro went all to say that if candidates don’t receive equal time, ABC and Univision should have to explain why.

‘Hate speech’: Facebook takes down post calling for deporting criminal illegal aliens Posted: 09 Sep 2019 06:38 PM PDT Deportation is an important tool necessary to keep American citizens safe. One can even argue it works to keep illegal immigrants safe as deporting violent criminals, such as the man accused of shooting a sheriff’s deputy in California, removes them from the communities where many illegal immigrants reside. But Facebook has a different perspective. To […] The post ‘Hate speech’: Facebook takes down post calling for deporting criminal illegal aliens appeared first on Conservative Christian News.

President Trump makes an important promise ahead of the 2020 elections Posted: 09 Sep 2019 06:16 PM PDT During the first Democratic debate, candidates learned a hard lesson about what the American people really want when it comes to illegal immigration. There can be debates about amnesty, DREAMers, asylum rules, and building the wall, but as Democrats were met with feedback following the June debate regarding one illegal immigration topic, they scrambled to […] The post President Trump makes an important promise ahead of the 2020 elections appeared first on Conservative Christian News.

Johnson to suspend UK Parliament after latest Brexit defeat Posted: 09 Sep 2019 06:06 PM PDT LONDON (AP) — The simmering showdown between Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Britain’s Parliament over Brexit came to a head as lawmakers delivered three defeats to the government’s plans for leaving the European Union, before being sent home early Tuesday for a contentious five-week suspension of the legislature. In a session that ran past midnight, […] The post Johnson to suspend UK Parliament after latest Brexit defeat appeared first on Conservative Christian News.

Washington, D.C. – Black unemployment and the black-white employment gap have fallen to the lowest levels ever recorded, and members of the Project 21 black leadership network are cheering the economic policies of the Trump Administration for ushering in historic levels of opportunity and […] The post Record-low black unemployment cheered by black activists appeared first on Conservative Christian News.

As border apprehension drop sharply, we must ramp up pressure before the next surge Posted: 09 Sep 2019 05:25 PM PDT August illegal immigration apprehensions fell sharply from heir high point in May. This can be attributed to multiple factors from the scorching hot weather (though the numbers are lower than July, which was just as hot), Mexico doing its part to stop migrants before they make it to the border, and news of policies invoked […] The post As border apprehension drop sharply, we must ramp up pressure before the next surge appeared first on Conservative Christian News.

Charlie Kirk reacts to an 8th illegal alien sexual predator arrested in Montgomery County Posted: 09 Sep 2019 05:06 PM PDT As we noted the other day, sanctuary jurisdiction Montgomery County, Maryland, has become a rape playground for illegal immigrants. Since July 25th alone, they’ve now had eight illegal aliens arrested on suspicion of sexual assault, often against minors. Many of these and other crimes could have been avoided had sanctuary policies not prohibited law enforcement […] The post Charlie Kirk reacts to an 8th illegal alien sexual predator arrested in Montgomery County appeared first on Conservative Christian News.

‘Science’ is advancing us towards eating bugs to fight climate change. Seriously. Posted: 09 Sep 2019 04:38 PM PDT It’s the type of headline I dread reading because invariably it fails to deliver on its click-bait premise. I never thought I would be writing such a headline myself, but that’s exactly what’s happening. I could have gone with the more provocative headlines which is also mostly true: “Science is advancing us towards cannibalism to […] The post ‘Science’ is advancing us towards eating bugs to fight climate change.

As 50 Attorneys General look into slapping Google, does it pass Reagan’s ‘consumer welfare’ rule? Posted: 09 Sep 2019 04:04 PM PDT Is Google too big? Yes. The company controls 9 out of 10 searches.

And it does all of this with a progressive mindset that harms conservatives and Christians.

What it means for the United States if Benjamin Netanyahu loses in Israel Posted: 09 Sep 2019 02:48 PM PDT Israel’s elections are just over a week away and most Americans are enjoying a collective yawn.

This is by design; if more American Jews were made aware of the state of affairs on the ground in Israel, it would be harder for […] The post What it means for the United States if Benjamin Netanyahu loses in Israel appeared first on Conservative Christian News.

Read the whole letter here. Iran Tanker Spotted Near Syrian Coast Center President and CEO, Fred Fleitz, joined the BBC’s Newsweek to discuss the latest developments regarding an Iranian oil tanker that was seen near the Syrian coast. Listen to the whole interview here. Talks with the Taliban are ‘Dead’; Time for the ‘Secure Afghanistan’ Strategy Yesterday, President Trump further clarified his policy toward Afghanistan. He announced that negotiations with the Taliban jihadists are “dead.” And, while there will be further reductions of U.S. forces there, they will not be dictated by our Sharia-supremacist enemies. The President deserves great credit for this critical course-correction.  The temptation to do otherwise is, as he would say, yuuuuge. He is committed to keeping campaign promises to end the nation’s longest war; diplomats yearn for Nobel Peace Prizes; budgeteers seek spending cuts; and supporters of the military want to end its seemingly futile sacrifices. Now, Mr. Trump has the chance to re-boot U.S. policy to as to achieve significant reductions in the U.S. presence in Afghanistan – without surrendering the place and its long-suffering people to the Taliban and other Jihadists. Our “Secure Afghanistan” Strategy shows how; review it at Secure Freedom.org.

China May Cry ‘Uncle’ Sooner Than We Think Jim Geraghty Making the click-through worthwhile: Some signs that China is starting to feel the pain from Trump’s trade war; a special House election in North Carolina and what it could tell us about 2020; and Beto O’Rourke declares that living close to work is “a right for everyone.” Is China Starting to Feel the Pain from the Trade War? Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal had a fascinating front-page article that could have deep political ramifications. Right now, Trump’s trade war with China looks like slamming our collective foreheads against a brick wall, hoping we do more damage to the wall than the wall does to our skulls. We institute tariffs, China gets mad and responds with their own tariffs, Trump gets mad and responds with more tariffs, and the cycle goes on and on. The escalating battle hurts our farmers and exporters, while the leaders of Beijing … Read More ADVERTISEMENT Top Stories Our Unstable Abortion Regime Alexandra DeSanctis Disparities between states’ abortion regimes result in women traveling for abortions, but they also create a nation driven apart by its incompatible views about the value of unborn human life.
