CNN added another wrinkle in the ongoing debate about whether the network was tipped off that Roger Stone would be arrested by FBI agents in a pre-dawn raid at his Florida last month.

CNN revealed this week that another camera crew set up at a second location where nothing happened.

“On the same day CNN staked out Roger Stone's home, another CNN crew was outside the home of ANOTHER player in the Mueller probe, on the suspicion THAT person could be arrested too. That hunch didn't pan out. Journalism!” CNN's chief media correspondent Brian Stelter tweeted Thursday, sharing a CNN report about the revelation published a day prior.

Something I learned yesterday: On the same day CNN staked out Roger Stone's home, another CNN crew was outside the home of ANOTHER player in the Mueller probe, on the suspicion THAT person could be arrested too. That hunch didn't pan out. Journalism! t.co/SScnaofScs

Stone continues to raise questions over how CNN was at his Fort Lauderdale home with a camera crew at the exact time of his arrest.

On Thursday, Stone posted an image to his Instagram account that perpetuated a conspiracy theory that CNN was tipped off by someone close to special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation that the FBI was going to arrest and raid his home.

“‘Who tipped off CNN?’", the photo caption reads, quoting President Trump, who latched onto the conspiracy theory last month.

The arrest on Jan. 25 came after a grand jury indicted Stone on seven counts of lying to Congress, witness tampering, and obstructing a congressional inquiry about communications with WikiLeaks stemming from his interview with the House Intelligence Committee in September 2017 as part of its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

CNN was the only media outfit present to witness the raid just after 6:00 a.m. — the network claims the camera crew arrived an hour before the arrest — which raised questions about how the network knew to have a team be there.

The outlet maintains that it was “reporter’s instinct” that led the TV crew to set up outside Stone’s Fort Lauderdale home that morning.

As for the second crew, CNN's report Wednesday explained they were set up outside the home of another player in the Mueller probe on suspicion that they could be arrested that morning. Nothing happened at this other location.

"The whole Russia team thought maybe something was happening," CNN producer David Shortell said shortly after the raid, adding that the team saw “usual grand jury activity” the night before the arrest.

Bloodline52:The Presidential attitude is full of intransigence . He needs to evaluate his character .

Yomeli:Okay, that's good I thought he will not think of this any more, good

admin:

President Donald Trump on Monday pushed back against claims that his administration has abandoned a concrete wall on the border, despite his own outgoing chief of staff's statements that the idea was ruled out "early on in the administration."
"An all concrete Wall was NEVER ABANDONED, as has been reported by the media," Trump said on Twitter, without mentioning his outgoing chief of staff, John Kelly.
"Some areas will be all concrete but the experts at Border Patrol prefer a Wall that is see through (thereby making it possible to see what is happening on both sides). Makes sense to me!"

On Sunday, the Los Angeles Times published a two-hour interview with Kelly in which he told the paper "to be honest, it's not a wall."
Kelly continued, "The president still says 'wall' — oftentimes frankly he'll say 'barrier' or 'fencing,' now he's tended toward steel slats. But we left a solid concrete wall early on in the administration, when we asked people what they needed and where they needed it."

The comments from Trump and Kelly come as the partial government shutdown stretches into a second week over Trump's border wall.
Monday marks the beginning of Kelly's last week in the White House after 17 months on the job. Kelly, who once was seen as a stabilizing force within the White House, also had a tenure pocked with controversies, and officials were often amazed at how he managed to survive

edition.cnn.com/2018/12/31/politics/trump-concrete-border-wall/index.html

admin:Republicans might be resorting a lot more often to prayer -- the new strategy several senators have adopted for dealing with their capricious President -- because of the forces unleashed by the latest fraught moment of the Trump era.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell did manage to avert the political disaster of a new government shutdown by securing a pledge Thursday that President Donald Trump will sign a federal funding bill that lacks money for his wall.
But he may be paying the price for years to come.

That's because the President's response to a futile effort to squeeze lawmakers for wall funding is to obliterate a constitutional guardrail in a way that could fundamentally alter the power balance between the presidency and Congress.
Trump will appear in the White House Rose Garden at 10 am ET to sign the compromise funding bill and announce a slate of executive actions, a White House official said. The plan is expected to include a declaration of national emergency, which he would use to reallocate money for a total of $8 billion in government money to fund the wall.

A declaration of a national emergency to bypass Congress and reprogram funds already allocated by lawmakers would represent Trump's most striking assault yet on the system of constitutional order that he is sworn to preserve, protect and defend.
If the move is not permanently blocked by the courts it could also come back to haunt Republicans, since it could provide a precedent for a future Democratic president to enact liberal priorities on an executive whim.
"I know the Republicans have some unease about it, no matter what they say," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday, taunting the GOP with a possible move by a future Democratic commander in chief on gun control.
"If the President can declare an emergency on something that he has created as an emergency, an illusion that he wants to convey, just think of what a president with different values can present to the American people," she added.
Thursday's drama included a painful concession for McConnell, who was forced to back off his previous opposition to declaring a national emergency in order to get Trump to sign the funding bill.
"He has indicated he is prepared to sign the bill. He will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time," the Kentucky Republican said. "I've indicated to him that I'm going to support the national emergency declaration."
McConnell's institutional concerns are also likely matched with an acknowledgment that the President's coming power grab is unpopular among a majority of Americans. About 66% of Americans said in a CNN/SSRS poll released earlier this month that Trump should not declare a national emergency to build the wall. And only 64% of Republicans thought the President should go ahead -- a figure far lower than Trump's approval numbers with GOP voters.
Trump's move, a political maneuver that he believes will help him keep his central campaign promise and insulate his standing with his base, is likely to soon present politically dicey challenges for his fellow Republicans.
Pelosi is likely to invoke a clause in the 1976 National Emergencies Act that permits Congress to seek to terminate a President's declaration that McConnell appears to have no power to stop from coming to the floor in the Senate.
That will jam Republicans worried about the implications of presidential overreach but who will face a tough decision on whether to oppose Trump on the wall -- an issue that has an almost mystical hold on the GOP base.
It will represent yet another uncomfortable moment for a party that has often had to pick between its traditional conservative principles and standing with the barnstorming force -- Trump -- that has taken it over.
Usually, when it has been a dilemma between wielding or maintaining power and guarding principles by reining in Trump, the party has taken the first option.
A GOP senator who will face that choice again is John Cornyn of Texas, who told CNN this month that it was a "serious constitutional question" whether presidents can "usurp" the separation of powers and unilaterally dole out money.
Sen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican who is sometimes a Trump ally, expressed deep reservations about the idea of an emergency declaration.
"I, too, want stronger border security, including a wall in some areas," Paul tweeted. "But how we do things matters. Over 1,000 pages dropped in the middle of the night and extraconstitutional executive actions are wrong, no matter which party does them."

But not every Republican has constitutional anxiety. South Carolina's Sen. Lindsey Graham has been urging Trump to declare a national emergency for days. And Louisiana's Sen. John Kennedy dismissed the fears of some of his colleagues.
"I don't join with my colleagues in believing that if the President does this, when he does it, that it will be the end of Western order," Kennedy said.
Thursday's Senate vote to avoid a government shutdown ended a difficult two months for GOP members that saw Trump walk away from a stopgap bill to avert what became the longest government shutdown in history in December.
As speculation rose that the President might refuse to sign the bipartisan agreement reached between the House and the Senate, the strain began to tell on some GOP lawmakers.
"Let's all pray that the President will have wisdom to sign the bill so the government doesn't shut down," said Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa.
"I pray" Trump signs the bill, said Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, the top Republican on the conference committee that negotiated the compromise.
Their resort to the divine summed up the grueling experience of the shutdown drama, which for all Trump's efforts to present it as a victory has left the Republican Party in a worse position than before it started.
In the end, the President got a lesson in the new dynamics of shared power in Washington that can be encapsulated by the Rolling Stones song that plays at the end of his campaign rallies: "You can't always get what you want."
The Democratic capture of the House last year made it impossible to get Congress to fund the wall -- although the President did not have much more luck when the Republicans held the chamber up until January.
He will now seek to get what he wants through an aggressive claim to presidential power that will certainly face a judicial battle that seems to have every chance of rising all the way to the Supreme Court.
'Gross' abuse of power

Trump's critics are warning that America's constitutional architecture is now in peril from a President who has never shown much interest in submitting to institutional checks on his power.
"Just because the President didn't get what he wanted -- a stupid wall to placate his rally-goers and his right-wing media chorus -- does not mean he alone can do whatever he wants," said Frank Sharry, executive director of America's Voice, a pro-immigration overhaul advocacy group. "This is about more than a political tactic. It's an attack on our democracy by an autocrat."
Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a joint statement that declaring a national emergency would be a "lawless act, a gross abuse of the power of the presidency."
"The Congress will defend our constitutional authorities," they said.
But none of that is likely to matter to the President.
This showdown has demonstrated yet again that his own political interests come before any respect for constitutional norms or an awareness of how his actions will affect the political system itself when he has left office.
If that is painful for his own side -- in this case, Senate Republicans -- Trump seems not to care. The most attractive feature of a declaration of national emergency is that it allows him to escape a humiliating set of defeats in Washington and initiative a new controversy.

Even if the courts and Democrats in the Senate succeed in curtailing his behavior, the President can rail against their efforts in order to stir his political base as he embarks on his 2020 re-election race.
That will make clear what has always been the case -- Trump cares most about his base, and rarely dwells on who or what is caught in the crossfire.

admin:It was Democrats who brought Amazon to New York City, and it was Democrats who chased it away.
The retail giant's decision Thursday to bail out of its plans for a headquarters in Queens immediately set the two wings of the party against each other, with freshman New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren declaring victory -- while jilted New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo took direct aim at politicians who he felt "put their own narrow political interests above their community."
It was one more reminder that the political ground is shifting and swelling under the feet of Democratic politicians, as the now-senior Democrats who worked from the middle and with corporations -- starting with Bill Clinton and continuing through Barack Obama -- faces a new wave that actively works to contain business.

They're all Democrats, but they see things very, very differently. Their fights will continue playing out through the Democratic primary and into the 2020 presidential campaign.
The tension can be seen not only in the smacking New York Democrats received after wooing Amazon, but also in the skepticism among party elders like Nancy Pelosi toward the expansive Green New Deal proposal, also pushed by Ocasio-Cortez -- and now broadly endorsed by most of the party's presidential contenders.
This round started with the powerful Democratic governor and mayor of New York who put aside their rivalry to welcome Amazon to the city.
Cuomo, an old guard Democrat, was smarting on Thursday.
"A small group politicians put their own narrow political interests above their community ... the state's economic future and the best interests of the people of this state," he said in a statement, promising to hold accountable the New York State Senate, which is controlled by his fellow Democrats, some of whom had turned on the deal.
Mayor Bill DeBlasio, the other top New York Democrat who will be most associated with the Amazon mess, is more progressive and he was more interested in blaming Amazon.
"You have to be tough to make it in New York City," he said in a statement. "We gave Amazon the opportunity to be a good neighbor and do business in the greatest city in the world. Instead of working with the community, Amazon threw away that opportunity."
A lot of this is surely local politics. New York is not exactly an economically depressed area. Housing costs and congestion there are already both in the stratosphere. The breadth of opposition that presented itself in New York was clearly not as widely shared in Northern v*rg*nia, where the state has already passed into law a generous incentive package for the other half of Amazon's HQ2. Similarly, the company has been welcomed in Nashville, where it had plans for expansion. It will now focus on those areas.
What's clear, however, is that national Democrats and party leaders have not exactly kept pace with all, or maybe even most, of their constituents in urban areas, where jobs are plentiful -- but fewer and fewer people feel they're able to get ahead.
It was a campaign of younger politicians and activists who sent the Internet giant packing, and the lesson may very well be that a new crop of progressives is hostile to the idea that government should be working with corporate America to make jobs.
Ocasio-Cortez, who represents the Bronx and Queens, was crowing at Amazon's decision, hailing it as a major victory for the real people of New York.
"Anything is possible: today was the day a group of dedicated, everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon's corporate greed, its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the world."

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) February 14, 2019

The complaints made by Ocasio-Cortez and others centered around the incentives -- up to $1.5 billion -- New York's power elite promised Amazon to bring the Internet giant in, exchanging those tax credits for the promise of 25,000 jobs with wages averaging 150,000.
That was a bad deal for locals, who feared that they would be priced out of the neighborhood, and the ascendant progressive elected leaders and activists on their side who said the money would be better spent directly by the government on the subway or teachers.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is running for president on a platform of corporate accountability and called the tax incentives "bribes."
"How long will we allow giant corporations to hold our democracy hostage?" she asked on Twitter after Amazon's announcement.

.@Amazon -- one of the wealthiest companies on the planet -- just walked away from billions in taxpayer bribes, all because some elected officials in New York aren't s**king up to them enough. How long will we allow giant corporations to hold our democracy hostage? t.co/O9pz7en43B
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) February 14, 2019

This type of fight could end up being the core question Democrats face in the coming presidential cycle.
In New York, it was whether to spend the state's money on Amazon's jobs. At the national level, it's visible in the Green New Deal, a list of aspirations a lot of Democrats might agree with. Recently issued as a legislative manifesto by Ocasio-Cortez, it's taken over the Democratic conversation and turned into a sort of litmus test and is dragging the party left heading into 2020.

The proposal includes a promise of jobs guaranteed by the federal government, rather than deploying taxpayer dollars to attract the likes of Amazon.
On health care, the party seems to agree most Americans should have access to a Medicare-style health plan. But there is real disagreement over whether that should be the only option, and what role the private sector should play.
We've seen hints of this brewing for years. Barack Obama was willing to accept an imperfect health care system that lacked a public option of any kind, in service of crafting a plan that could pass.
Hillary Clinton in 2016 didn't exactly take Bernie Sanders' proposals for free college seriously, only to have to fend him off on her way to the nomination.
Yet old Democrats remain focused on Bill Clinton's "art of the possible," even when confronted with the unbounded idealism of this new group, which has no time for 25,000 Amazon jobs.
It's that type of attitude that led Howard Schultz out of the party and onto his quixotic maybe-campaign as a centrist.
Political parties that succeed have space for multiple points of view. It's the power of the party as an organization that can bring groups together at the ballot box that led Michael Bloomberg, himself a corporate billionaire thinking about a presidential run, out of the independent lane and into the party just as it lurches to the left.

That's opened a new front for President Donald Trump and Republicans have been only too happy to paint Democrats in terms of the ideals of the Green New Deal and Medicare for all plans and argue they are moving out of the mainstream of American politics.
Don't be surprised if they do the same with this Amazon development.

edition.cnn.com/2019/02/14/politics/amazon-aoc-democrats-future/index.html

admin:Green New Deal fits perfectly on a bumper sticker.
But the proposal, which is on its way to becoming a litmus test for the Democratic Party's many 2020 contenders, isn't a simple fix for what ails the US. It would equal taking American society back to the drawing board and rebuilding it from the safety net up.
President Donald Trump and Republicans like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell want to use the proposal to paint Democrats as trying to mandate a socialist utopia on the country, which is probably why House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been publicly skeptical -- even though most Democrats running for president have signed on, at least conceptually.

The Green New Deal is more a list of ideas and ideals than an actual proposal, although the new climate change regulations it suggests could run to $1 trillion.
What was entered as official legislative language on Capitol Hill declares the government should take a stronger position on everything from cutting carbon emissions to giving every American a job to working with family farmers to retrofitting every building in the country.
Here's a look at some passages that stuck out in the 14-page resolution, and what they might mean for the country:
Renewable energy
"meeting 100 percent of the power demand in the United States through clean, renewable, and zero-emission energy sources"
This would be a wholesale turnaround in US energy. Renewables -- including hydroelectric, wind, biomass, solar and geothermal -- currently account for about 20% of US energy production, about on par with nuclear energy as outlined by the US Energy Information Agency. Natural gas accounts for the largest share -- about 32% -- and coal isn't far behind, at 30%. The current projection is for renewable energy to account for about 31% of US energy generation by 2050, with steep drops for nuclear and coal.
Smart grid
"building or upgrading to energy-efficient, distributed, and 'smart' power grids, and working to ensure affordable access to electricity"
Improving the nation's patchwork electrical system is an enormous undertaking that Congress has been grappling with for more than a decade. It provided funds toward a smart grid -- a reimagined electrical grid that makes use of technology to improve reliability and efficiency -- as part of the 2009 economic stimulus, but not explicitly since then. The Department of Energy has provided some funds since then, according to the Congressional Research Service, putting $3.6 billion each year toward the smart grid -- not nearly enough to implement it nationwide by 2030. It'll cost hundreds of billions of dollars over 20 years, according to estimates, but greatly improve the country's electrical infrastructure.
Energy efficiency
"upgrading all existing buildings in the United States and building new buildings to achieve maximal energy efficiency, water efficiency, safety, affordability, comfort, and durability, including through electrification"
Without having to Google, we know there are a LOT of buildings in the US. Upgrading all of them would certainly make the green building industry explode. Would it be done through tax credits? Grants? Large-scale building upgrades have been tried before, including in the 2009 stimulus, which put $4.5 billion toward retrofitting federal buildings and $3 billion toward retrofitting public housing projects. Here's a HUD report on the public housing effort, which argues that savings on electricity and water costs were achieved. However, to repeat, there are a LOT of buildings in the US, and no one knows what it would cost to make them all "green."
Transportation
"overhauling transportation systems in the United States to eliminate pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector as much as is technologically feasible, including through investment in (i) zero-emission vehicle infrastructure and manufacturing; (ii) clean, affordable, and accessible public transportation; and (iii) high-speed rail"
There are models to encourage low-emission vehicles that the current government is abandoning. Some federal tax incentives for people buying electric vehicles are running out (Tesla!) and haven't been renewed. Others, like increased emissions standards, have been jeopardized by the Trump administration. Relatively cheap gas in recent years also hasn't helped Americans move toward better fuel efficiency.
But encouraging people with a tax incentive is different from overhauling transportation systems. And that's hard: Just days after the Green New Deal was introduced, California's new governor, Gavin Newsom, a Democrat and progressive, nixed his state's planned high speed rail line from Los Angeles to San Francisco to instead focus on three smaller Central Valley communities. One reason Newsom said he didn't end the program altogether was because he didn't want the state to have to return a $3.5 billion federal loan.
Low-tech solutions
"removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and reducing pollution, including by restoring natural ecosystems through proven low-tech solutions that increase soil carbon storage, such as preservation and afforestation"
This could cover a lot of things, one of which, essentially, would be planting trees to combat climate change. It's a thing. It's been tried in Israel and Europe and there are efforts to reforest in Brazil. It is the cutting of rainforests there, however, that plays a biggger role in climate change. Carbon Brief has a handy world map. The US Department of Agriculture and the Forest Service have a complicated cost estimate for afforestation in every county in the US. Another might be the protection and rehabilitation of wetlands to guard against the effects of climate change.
Cows and climate change
"working collaboratively with farmers and ranchers in the United States to eliminate pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector as much as is technologically feasible"
This element has already been boiled down to cow farts, according to the President and that prematurely published set of FAQs. Cow and livestock emissions are something that deserves attention. This is not about your your purebred heritage cow, but rather about industrial agriculture.
Beef is responsible for 41% of livestock greenhouse gas emissions, and that livestock accounts for 14.5% of total global emissions, according to a CNN special report this year, which also pointed to the UN Panel on Climate Change Report, which suggested changing diets worldwide could contribute 20% of the effort needed to keep down global temperatures. The USDA projects the average American will eat about 222.4 pounds of meat and poultry in 2019, 53.4 pounds of which will be beef.
Guaranteed job, leave, vacation and retirement
"guaranteeing a job with a family-sustaining wage, adequate family and medical leave, paid vacations, and retirement security to all people of the United States"
Here we veer from the climate change portion of the document to goals that seem even more difficult to achieve. Would a family-sustaining wage mean different pay for people with different numbers of children? Would it require that both adults in a given household work? The living wage in Springfield, Illinois -- chosen randomly -- in MIT's Living Wage calculator is $11.41 per hour for one adult and $18.44 for two adults and two children. If one of the adults is working part-time, the baseline hourly wage rises to $26.39.
Things change when you factor in benefits. An interesting 2018 report from the left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities with some back-of-the envelope calculations on the cost for a federal jobs guarantee suggested the government could provide 9.7 million jobs to the under- or unemployed at a mean wage of $32,500 to account for different levels of experience, etc. Adding in taxes and benefits makes the annual cost of each job about $56,000. So the total cost to the government each year would be about $543 billion.
That's less than the nearly $674 billion the government spends on the Pentagon's budget. It is much less than the government spends on safety net programs Medicare and Social Security each year.
Labor laws
"strengthening and enforcing labor, workplace health and safety, anti-discrimination, and wage and hour standards across all employers, industries, and sectors"
There's a patchwork of wage laws across industries. Tipped workers, like restaurant employees, have a lower minimum wage. Some states have enacted much higher minimum wages for their workers. Creating new laws on this front would require a national debate. Discrimination is already illegal. But it also has very little to do with climate change.
Public ownership
"providing and leveraging, in a way that ensures that the public receives appropriate ownership stakes and returns on investment, adequate capital (including through community grants, public banks, and other public financing), technical expertise, supporting policies, and other forms of assistance to communities, organizations, Federal, State, and local government agencies, and businesses working on the Green New Deal mobilization"
The public is going to pay for all of this change, so the public should get a return, is one way to look at this passage. The public as an owner is likely enough to strike fear in many Republicans. And it'd be a sure trigger for them to bring up Venezuela, which has squandered the riches of its state-run oil company.
On the other hand, California is again dealing with the bankruptcy of a privately owned public utliity, PG&E, and debating whether it should be turned into a public utility. How governments should own things is an important question without a clear answer.
Providing higher education
"providing resources, training, and high-quality education, including higher education, to all people of the United States, with a focus on frontline and vulnerable communities, so those communities may be full and equal participants in the Green New Deal mobilization"
There's a lot in this portion, but let's focus on the part about higher education for all people. That sounds a lot like the free-college proposals of recent years. It might not be something any Democrats are going to oppose, exactly. But it's also not something they've found a way to accomplish yet. One free-college proposal, which was not included in Green New Deal but offers a guideline, came from from Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent. He would provide states with $47 billion per year to cover two-thirds of the cost of tuition for students at public colleges and universities. Sanders proposed a new tax on Wall Street trades to finance the program.
Trade unions
"strengthening and protecting the right of all workers to organize, unionize, and collectively bargain free of coercion, intimidation, and harassment"
Unions have been in a long-term decline in the US. While 20% of US wage and salary workers were in unions in 1983 -- about 17.7 million people, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics -- that was down to 10.5% of wage and salary workers and 14.7 million union workers by 2018. There are many reasons for this decline, not the least of which is the changing nature of US manufacturing.
Unions remain strongest in the public sector and among government workers ranging from law enforcement to teachers. An additional 1.6 million workers are in jobs covered by union contracts but are not members of the unions.
Trade deals
"enacting and enforcing trade rules, procurement standards, and border adjustments with strong labor and environmental protections"
In this case Green New Dealers might align with Trump against trade deals, as Sen. Elizabeth Warren has. She, like Trump, opposed the Trans-Pacific Partnership. He said it was poorly negotiated. She said it didn't do enough for international worker rights. But the Green New Deal crowd goes further, and opposes even the deals Trump supports, like the planned US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, which Warren has called NAFTA 2.0.
Indigenous people
"obtaining the free, prior, and informed consent of indigenous people for all decisions that affect indigenous people and their traditional territories, honoring all treaties and agreements with indigenous people, and protecting and enforcing the sovereignty and landrights of indigenous people"
You could see this playing a role in particular in terms of oil drilling, in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge or in terms of standoffs like the one at Standing Rock in North Dakota in 2016. This would certainly be a policy shift for the US government, which has at times seemed to give deference to oil companies.
There could be lost development opportunities, but many Democrats would certainly trade that for the twin objectives of slowing oil dependence and honoring indigenous peoples.
Health care, housing, security, clean air and water, healthy food and nature
"providing all people of the United States with — (i) high-quality health care; (ii) affordable, safe, and adequate housing; (iii) economic security; and (iv) access to clean water, clean air, healthy and affordable food, and nature"
This is lumping a lot of things in together. The quibble here between progressives and conservatives will be whether the US government should be providing access to health care. Many Green New Deal supporters all support "Medicare-for-all," which is both a general idea that many Democrats are behind and also a specific policy proposal that has fewer supporters.

One question is whether the government would have to essentially end the private health care industry in order to create a public one. That kind of drastic change has the potential to really frighten voters, who punished Democrats for creating the Affordable Care Act in 2010 and then published Republicans for trying to take it away in 2018.
The government already does quite a lot, although some say not nearly enough, on the food, water, air and nature fronts with the Food and Drug Administration, the USDA, the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Park Service, so it's hard to so say what would change under a Green New Deal without more specifics.

Landing Amazon HQ2 was supposed to be a big win for Democrats who run New York, but instead it's turned into a monstrous headache that's exposing deep political fissures inside the party.
One one side is Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who joked he'd change his name to 'Amazon' to win the company's business, and Mayor Bill de Blasio.

On the other is freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who on Friday declared victory amid reports that the company might be having second thoughts -- and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who suggested that Amazon doesn't really need any more tax breaks.
The Amazon deal is the odd issue in US politics that can tie de Blasio and Cuomo together on one side, and Bloomberg and Ocasio-Cortez on the other.
It turns out that what some Democrats call economic improvement, others see as corporate charity.
To recap, the Internet behemoth promised billions of dollars in new tax base, tens of thousands of high-paying jobs and the honor of being home to HQ2.
Policymakers nationwide were eating from the Internet giant's hands and falling over each other to sweeten Amazon's pot with tax breaks and infrastructure improvements, all but begging Jeff Bezos to pick them and move in.
It was like a nationwide real-life season of "The Bachelor," with rounds of courtship and periodic cuts. The rose was ultimately split between Queens, New York, and Crystal City in Arlington, v*rg*nia. A smaller campus is also planned for Nashville.
v*rg*nia consummated things Tuesday when embattled Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam signed into law a $750 million incentive package.
But at least part of the resulting three-way marriage feels about as sturdy as a match made on TV.
New York is supposed to grant $1.5 billion in incentives contingent on the company creating 25,000 jobs with an average salary of $150,000.
"We can't find two nickels to rub together to make the subways run on time or to build affordable housing or to build enough schools for our kids -- in this very neighborhood, mind you -- and yet we're showering Jeff Bezos with all this money that he clearly doesn't need," said Michael Gianaris on CNN. He's the deputy majority leader of the New York State Senate, represents Queens and has emerged as a top critic of the deal.

He was appointed by the Democrats who took control of the state Senate after elections in November to be on the Public Authorities Control Board, and he could ultimately have the power to essentially veto the deal, according to reports.
It was Democrats de Blasio and Cuomo who cheered the deal when it was announced. It's Democrats like Gianaris who could kill it.
The Washington Post, citing unnamed sources, reported Friday that Amazon was considering ditching Queens and putting the 25,000 promised jobs elsewhere.
The key line, anonymously sourced, in the Post report about Amazon's thinking:
"The question is whether it's worth it if the politicians in New York don't want the project, especially with how people in v*rg*nia have been so welcoming."
Ocasio-Cortez hailed the Washington Post report on Friday as a victory of the citizen over the corporation, when she tweeted a link to the Post article and added:
"Can everyday people come together and effectively organize against creeping overreach of one of the world's biggest corporations? Yes, they can."
Amazon subsequently denied it might pull out of the deal and has said it would try to win over New Yorkers, as it did with a recent ad campaign.
Criticism from the opponents is based not only on the tax incentives, which many say the company doesn't need, but also on the secretive way the deal was negotiated, outside of public view.
"Amazon dares to dictate to us whether our government can even talk to us about what these deals are as they are unfolding. They made the state sign a secrecy agreement. Lo and behold, when the agreement becomes known it's horrible," said Gianaris.

Cuomo lashed out at the state Senate on Friday, worried the deal could be in trouble.
"It's a very small group of politicians who are pandering to the local politics," he said, according to the New York Post. "I've never heard such an absurd situation where political pandering defeated a bona fide, sound economic development project."
He didn't acknowledge the very real concerns of local anti-development activists, who don't want to see their neighborhoods taken over and their property values explode out from under them.
Opposition to the deal was clear late last month when New York City Council members had tough questions for Amazon officials at a public hearing, suggesting the company had misled about the economic benefits its new campus would bring. The council issued its own report suggesting the data on the benefits pushed by the governor and mayor was overblown.
It's not just the local politicians and strong progressives who are questioning the deal.

The former mayor, the billionaire Michael Bloomberg, who might run for President as a Democrat, had this to say, according to Politico:
"But the reason they came here was not the tax breaks they got, which I didn't think they needed."

Genjina:German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned Saturday that Washingtons plan to swiftly pull its soldiers out of Syria risks allowing Russia and Iran to boost their role in the region.

Islamic State group fighters have been boxed in to a scrap of land in the battle for their last remaining territory in northeastern Syria and their final defeat is expected imminently.

Once they are defeated, US forces are set to soon withdraw after President Donald Trump in December announced the pullout of around 2,000 troops.

But Washington is struggling to convince allies to stay on in Syria after it leaves and Merkel warned of the risks of leaving a vacuum in the region.

Is it a good idea for the Americans to suddenly and quickly withdraw from Syria? Or will it once more strengthen the capacity of Iran and Russia to exert their influence? Merkel said at the Munich Security Conference.

Pentagon chief Patrick Shanahan on Friday pledged ongoing backing for the fight against IS but kept allies guessing as to how that would be achieved once US forces pull out, and won no solid pledges of support.

Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders said the US had told partners in the global anti-IS coalition that its soldiers would leave in weeks rather than months.

The decision has stunned allies including France, which contributes artillery and about 1,200 forces in the region, including soldiers who train Iraqi troops.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian asked why the US would create a vacuum in Syria that could benefit its enemy Iran, calling the approach a mystery.A French government source told AFP it was totally out of the question to have French troops on the ground without US forces.

GabrielT:Akwa Ibom State Police Command has arrested 10 persons alleged to be involved in the burning of 11 buses close to the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office in Obot Akara Local Government Area of the state.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Odiko Mcdon, paraded the suspects on Tuesday on behalf of the Commissioner of Police, Bashiru Makama, at the police headquarters in Uyo, the state capital.
He said the suspects committed the offence on Friday, hours before INEC announced the postponement of the general elections.
The command’s spokesman disclosed that weapons recovered from the suspects included two locally-made shotguns, 25 live cartridges, substances suspected to be Indian hemp, two machetes, and charms among others.

According to him, the suspects will be transferred to the Force Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation.
Mcdon urged politicians to abide by the rules and advise their supporters to conduct themselves peacefully during the elections.
He also revealed that the police seized 179 Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) and 27 temporary voter cards in two different operations.
The command’s spokesman added that 41 people claiming to be elections observers with no proof of their claim were arrested by the police.
He denied reports that 400 political thugs were arrested in the state, noting that only 20 persons were arrested, and they had not yet been linked to any political party.
Mcdon said the police in the state were non-partisan and would act professionally at all times, as well as remain neutral and committed to free, fair and credible elections in line with international best practice.
He called on political stakeholders in the state to play the game according to the rules.

Nigeria’s election: Abacha names preferred presidential candidate, gives reasonsBy Mod - 1 hour ago - [ Update ]

A governorship candidate of the Advance Peoples Democratic Alliance in Kano State, Alhaji Mohammed Abacha, on Monday, endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid.

The eldest son of the late Head of State, Gen Sani Abacha, while addressing reporters at his campaign office on Maguwa Road in Kano, promised to help mobilise at least two million votes in the state for Buhari.

On why he endorsed Buhari and not other presidential candidate, Abacha, who was represented by the Chairman of the APDA in Kano, Alhaji Bashir Bataya, said he decided to support the President based on his achievements since he came into power in 2015.

According to him, some of Buhari’s achievements are security and economic stability, capital projects and agriculture development.

Abacha said, “The APDA in its search for a torchbearer for this great nation, has found Buhari as a man of integrity, transparency and he is incorruptible.

“We have noticed tremendous improvement in the area of security in Nigeria, especially in the North-East. Again, the stability in our economy and agriculture is a thing of joy. The home-grown feeding programme has generated millions of job opportunities and improved the consumption of local farm produce. When you consider the nation’s economic situation between 2014 and 2015, with the present situation, you will see that the country has largely improved.

“On capital projects, the Buhari government has completed and is still working on several abandoned projects across the country, especially road projects.”

GabrielT:Governor of Benue state, Samuel Ortom Tuesday said the people of Nigeria are prepared to spill the last pint of their blood to defend the hard-earned democracy of the nation.
He also said the security agencies should have a rethink while carrying out the order of President Muhammadu Buhari to deal ruthlessly with the electorate at the poll.
Ortom said this at the PDP National Secretariat, Abuja while reacting to the controversial order by Buhari to the army and police at the poll.
In his words, “The military and other security agencies should respect their rules of engagement.
“Anything short of that will not be acceptable by Nigerians.
“It is unfortunate that a President who was elected under a democratic setting is becoming dictatorial.
“We are prepared to spill the last pint of our blood to defend our democracy”.

Preshemeka600:On Wednesday, the head of the federal health watchdog Rospotrebnadzor, Anna Popova, said that the Russian Central Research Institute of Epidemiology has developed a new gene therapy medicine for people living with HIV.

“The Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor created a fundamentally new drug for gene therapy, gene prophylactic treatment and molecular vaccination against HIV.

“A highly active antiviral drug called Dinavir, which will soon be clinically tested, has been created,” Popova said on the sidelines of an international conference on HIV and AIDS in Moscow.

The official noted that Russia was facing a number a number of problems related to treatment of HIV and AIDS, including high prices for treatment and lack of proper medications.

This is very much similar to the problems posed by HIV treatment in Nigeria.

Millions of people have been infected with HIV since it was first discovered in early 1980s, prompting the development of drugs that would help tackle the deadly virus.

This is good news to Nigeria where it is estimated that every 5 out of 100 persons (5%) has HIV/AIDS. The number of people living with HIV vary from 1 to 12 in every 100 persons in the various states of the the country. In 2004, an estimated 3.2 to 3.8 million Nigerians have been infected by HIV making Nigeria the third highest prevalence rate worldwide; next to South Africa and India.

Though the rate of daily infection of HIV has dropped significantly due to efforts of the federal government, civil society organizations, multinational organisations, private individuals, among others; people living with the disease in Nigeria are desperately looking for “HIV cure.

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. It harms your immune system by destroying the white blood cells that fight infection. This puts you at risk for serious infections and certain cancers. AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. It is the final stage of infection with HIV. Not everyone with HIV develops AIDS.

HIV most often spreads through unprotected s*x with an infected person. It may also spread by sharing drug needles or through contact with the blood of an infected person. Women can give it to their babies during pregnancy or childbirth.

The first signs of HIV infection may be swollen glands and flu-like symptoms. These may come and go within two to four weeks. Severe symptoms may not appear until months or years later.
