Wondering how normal Trump's sister is if she's a Judge. We don't hear anything about her......... I think she has retired. “Mona Charen, who stunned #CPAC by rebuking conservatives for excusing the behavior of Donald Trump and Roy Moore, was just escorted outside by 3 security guards after her speech. More in @politicomag story later.“ Edited to add.. My take away. Boy those conservatives sure get testy when someone speaks the truth. Bravo to her for speaking out. Hopefully they are no longer her people? They might be same people making death threats to the kids and their families in Parkland, Florida?

trump today.... “Armed Educators (and trusted people who work within a school) love our students and will protect them. Very smart people. Must be firearms adept & have annual training. Should get yearly bonus. Shootings will not happen again - a big & very inexpensive deterrent. Up to States.” Problem with trump in his tiny little mind he believes the answer to any solution is force. That’s why he is surrounded by generals in key positions and why he is gutting the State Department. But then what does he care because he wouldn’t be the person getting hurt. What happens when shooting start outside the school in the parking lot or school yard?

This from trump...
“Congressman Schiff omitted and distorted key facts” @foxnews So, what else is new. He is a total phony!”
Prompted this response from Brian Stelter
“Holy moly. The @foxnews anchor said "Congressman Schiff, he ARGUES the REPUBLICAN memo omitted and distorted key facts." Trump just deleted 5 words from the quote to allege the opposite meaning.”
Holy cow is right. It’s bad enough Fox News has been know to leave out words of a comment to make their point. But now you have trump doing it to Fox News stories.

Now I understand why Networks are bringing back old hit TV shows. Because they can’t compete with trump’s reality TV show aka the trump presidency. AP.. “Trump officials fight eviction from Panama hotel they manage” PANAMA CITY (AP) — One of President Donald Trump's family businesses is battling an effort to physically evict its team of executives from a luxury hotel in Panama where they manage operations, and police have been called to keep the peace, The Associated Press has learned. Witnesses told the AP they saw Trump's executives carrying files to a room for shredding. Representatives of the hotel owners' association formally sought to fire Trump's management team Thursday by hand-delivering termination notices to them at the Trump International Hotel and Tower, according to a Panamanian legal complaint filed by Orestes Fintiklis, who controls 202 of the property's 369 hotel units. Trump's managers retreated behind the glass walls of an office where they were seen carrying files to an area where the sounds of a shredding machine could be heard, according to two witnesses aligned with the owners. The legal complaint also accused Trump's team of improperly destroying documents. The witnesses spoke on condition of anonymity over concerns they would be drawn into an expensive and protracted legal fight. Elsewhere in the building, the hotel owners' team and its allies were barred by Trump Hotel staff from entering the room containing the building's closed-circuit TV system as well as key computer servers for the hotel and apartments that share the property. In response, they shut off power to the room — temporarily bringing down phone lines and internet connections within the building. According to the legal complaint, Trump's chief of security and six security guards "pushed and shouted at" Fintiklis when he came to deliver the termination notices. The complaint said the hotel employees then called the police. A new confrontation appeared likely to arise during the weekend, as Trump's security staff set up early Saturday in the hotel lobby, witnesses said. But by Saturday afternoon the lobby was again quiet. Representatives of the Trump Organization declined to comment, but have previously called attempts to fire their management company illegal and said no change in the building's control would be appropriate without a decision from arbitrators or a judge. Fintiklis did not respond to messages left by text or email. On Friday night, lawyers, notaries and rival security personnel gathered at the hotel in Panama City while talks were underway to prevent the conflict from deteriorating further. The showdown is the newest low in a months-long fight over control of the property. Last August, Fintiklis' Miami-based Ithaca Capital Partners bought the 202 units in a fire sale from the property's struggling developer. As part of the deal, Trump Hotels sought and received some assurances that Ithaca would not seek to act against its interests as hotel manager. Relations quickly soured amid abysmal hotel occupancy numbers and allegations by Ithaca and other hotel unit owners of financial mismanagement or misconduct. In October, Ithaca Capital led a push to terminate Trump Hotel's management contract and seek compensatory damages. Trump's company — which he still owns but does not directly control — refused to hand over control of the property, arguing that the vote to fire Trump Hotels was invalid. A Panamanian court declined to support that claim in December, and the parties have since been fighting in court. The AP reported that the Trump management team ran off a group of Marriott executives who had been invited to tour the property amid a search for a replacement hotel operator. On Thursday, Fintiklis arrived at the property with management staff and lawyers intending to take over the hotel immediately. The Trump management team again refused to yield control of the property, and according to the legal complaint filed by Ithaca's lawyers, refused to allow Fintiklis to check into any of his company's 202 hotel rooms.“ Is this the same same place that was laundering drug money? I remember Ivanka flying down there for some meeting. They supposedly donated a lot of money to his inaugural day fund. Mueller's forensic accountants must be working overtime.

Fla. shooting survivor: Cops don't want to face down AR-15s BY JOHN BOWDEN - 02/24/18 07:11 PM EST
Stoneman Douglas student David Hogg on deputy who did not enter school during shooting: "Who wants to go down the barrel of an AR-15, even with a glock? And I know that's what these police officers are supposed to do, but they're people too." pic.twitter.com/GjnUBuidc6
— MSNBC (@msnbc) February 24, 2018
A student at the Parkland, Fla., high school where 17 people were killed in a mass shooting last week told MSNBC on Saturday that police officers should not be judged for not wanting to face down an attacker armed with an AR-15 while armed with handguns.
In an interview on MSNBC, student David Hogg defended Scot Peterson, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School resource officer and Broward County Sheriff's deputy criticized by President Trump and local law enforcement for not entering the building during the shooting.
Three other officers from the same department were also reported by CNN to have arrived on scene and taken cover behind their vehicles before deputies from a neighboring department arrived.
"He — just like every other police officer out there at heart — is a good person. He didn't take action in this event, and I can't explain why ... there are no words to explain why he wouldn't take action to take out this individual, but I think it's a good example of if he didn't take action and four others didn't, I mean, who does?" Hogg said.
"Who wants to go down the barrel of an AR-15, even with a glock? And I know that's what these police officers are supposed to do, but they're people too," he added.
More at link: thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/375470-fla-shooting-survivor-cops-dont-want-to-face-down-ar-15s Peterson was very well liked by th kids.

ETA: Wondering how normal Trump's sister is if she's a Judge. We don't hear anything about her......... MARYANNE TRUMP BARRY Successful in her own right, Mr Trump's older sister Maryanne was nominated by President Ronald Reagan as a Federal District judge and by President Bill Clinton to serve as a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, a position she still holds at the age of 78. She has three decades of experience on the bench and has been praised for her professionalism, sober legal arguments, and razor-sharp wit. She is also known for defending abortion rights. In short, Mrs Barry is the polar opposite of her brother. She is very private and has stayed out of the media glare during her brother's presidential campaign. Yet the two have stayed close: Mr Trump has regularly attended events over the years honouring his sister and her work; and Mrs Barry has credited her brother's influence with having helped her secure a seat on the bench in the first place, reported RealClearPolitics. In one respect she is the female version of her brother: Tough talking. The Washington Post reported that in 1991, when she sentenced a "candy mogul" to 34 years in prison for beating and torching the competitors, she said: "There was neither a way nor a reason to sugarcoat what the defendant is all about. He is, pure and simple, a thug." Presently: Maryanne Trump Barry is an attorney and an inactive Senior United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. She is an older sister of Donald Trump, the 45th and incumbent President of the United States. Wikipedia

Governors to Washington: Stop dithering on gunsState leaders gathering at the National Governors Association meeting in Washington voiced their frustrations about gun policy with the White House and Congress. By GABRIEL DEBENEDETTI and DANIEL STRAUSS 02/24/2018 06:53 PM EST Governors are tired of waiting on Washington for action on gun policy. State leaders from both parties implored federal lawmakers this weekend to listen to their states’ examples for responsible firearm legislation after the school shooting in Parkland, Fla., increasingly exasperated with the slow pace of debate and halting progress in the nation’s capital. Democrats and Republicans alike said they planned to force their way in front of both administration officials and legislators as they gather at the National Governors Association meeting in downtown Washington Saturday and Sunday. Even as the predictable party-line divides over the sensitive issues remained on display, the state executives were unanimous in their boiling frustration that they hadn’t been consulted more on questions of arming teachers, how to handle expanding background checks or imposing age limits on assault weapons. “Congress needs to act,” said Democratic Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo. “But we’re not going to sit around and wait for them to act. We’re taking action on our own to keep people safe.” ** Governors have been sharing notes on gun policy and school safety across party lines, Haslam said. “I mean there’s a lot of ‘what’re you doing in your state particularly on school safety,’” Haslam said. “I think there’s a lot of talk – not just from Republican governor to Republican governor, but from governor to governor.” Much more at link: www.politico.com/story/2018/02/24/governors-gun-policy-white-house-congress-423450They are talking to each other, although the republicans are being a bit cautious about criticizing dt directly too much.

Phillip Rucker...
“A few hours after Trump's testy call with Peña Nieto, it was Jared Kushner who called the Mexican president to smooth things over, officials tell us. Kushner is charged with overseeing Mexico relationship”
Ivanka trump briefed the South Koreans about the latest US sanctions against North Korea.
Neither Ivanka or Jared have permanent security clearances. The DOJ recently told the White House that new information on Jared will delay his pernment security clearance for who knows how long. Both of these people have been working at the White House for over a year and still don’t have a pernment security clearance so why do they still have access to classified information and why are the allowed to “smooth” things over and “brief” foreign leaders on behalf of the United States?
Inquiring minds want to know.

(Of course, say what youplural will about Hillary Clinton, but she is known to be doggedly thorough when researching something. She never would have accepted the idea of taking on so many weighty responsibilities. My fear is these manifold responsibilities of Jared's could indicate the status of his knowledge base...)

linkEverytime the question is asked “what gun laws would you want to see enacted?” I always pop in with a National Data Registry that tracks the guns from the time they are manufactured/imported until they are destroyed. And holds gun owners responsible for the actions of their guns. Everytime there is gun debate some drag in Chicago as proof laws don’t work or some other silly reason. ProPublica of Illinois ran this article “ How Chicago Gets Its Guns”From the article. “Most of the guns police seize come from Indiana and other states where firearms laws are more lax, police and researchers have found. After they were purchased legally, most were sold or loaned or stolen. Typically, individuals or small groups are involved in the dealing, not organized trafficking rings, experts say.” To me that one paragraph makes a strong case for a National Data Registry. Way too many people do not treat guns with the care a killing instrument should have. Way to many people treat guns like an old pair of tennis shoes they leave lying around and discard when they don’t want them anymore. Maybe if dealers and gun owners are actually held responsible for the actions of the guns the sell/own it would help in cutting down the number of innocent gun deaths. Along with comprehensive background checks, accepting that every type weapon doesn’t need to be sold to the public and addressing mental illness and violent video games and other social issues. A lot of things to address for sure but it’s sure a lot better then arming our schools.

Doesn't matter. dt will share everything with Jared/Ivanka and whoever else he encounters. To me that one paragraph makes a strong case for a National Data Registry. Way too many people do not treat guns with the care a killing instrument should have. Way to many people treat guns like an old pair of tennis shoes they leave lying around and discard when they don’t want them anymore. Correct. Register, license, secure. If stolen MUST be reported immediately. If not secured properly or not reported and gun is used/found in any circumstance, you, the owner is responsible.

“Merit-based immigration reform will benefit American workers and relieve the strain imposed by our current system on Federal resources. More: 45.wh.gov/3h2z8u”
One of the biggest challenges that face American workers is their lack of skills to do the higher wage jobs. Merit-based Immigration will bring in folks who have the skills these folks lack. So just exactly how is that going to benefit American workers and relieve the strain?

Furthermore, the FISA court was misled about Mr. Page’s past interactions with the FBI in which he helped build a case against Russian operatives in America who were brought to justice. It defies belief that the Department of Justice and FBI failed to provide information to a secret court that they had provided to an open federal court regarding their past interactions with Mr. Page.” For key points on the Democrats’ memo, click here.
