    Biden and Obama’s ‘Odd Couple’ Relationship Aged Into Family Ties – The New York Times
    Biden and Obama’s ‘Odd Couple’ Relationship Aged Into Family Ties – The New York Times

    The relationship between Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden, two men separated by temperament, upbringing, outlook and 19 years, did not get off to a strong start. Mr. Obama arrived in the Senate in 2005 the darling of Democrats, while Mr. Biden had been toiling away there since 1973, working his way through the ranks.

    Mr. Obama was assigned to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee where Mr. Biden was chairman, but the newcomer found the panel frustrating and its leader maddeningly long-winded. At one hearing, while Mr. Biden pontificated at length, Mr. Obama passed a note to an aide: “Shoot. Me. Now.”

    Soon enough, Mr. Obama escaped to the campaign trail, first stumping for other Democrats in the 2006 midterm elections and then for himself as 2008 approached. Mr. Biden, whose first run for the White House had blown up in a plagiarism scandal in 1988, jumped into the race, too. But he could hardly compete with Mr. Obama’s star power.

    Nor could Mr. Biden discipline his own tongue, committing a gaffe on the very day he announced his campaign when he described Mr. Obama’s appeal. “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” Mr. Biden said.

    When the comment blew up, Mr. Biden expressed regret and called Mr. Obama, who publicly let him off the hook. “I have no problem with Joe Biden,” he told reporters.

    He had no problem with Joe Biden on the hustings, either, easily outpacing the older man among Democratic voters. As Mr. Obama handily won Iowa’s caucuses, Mr. Biden could not muster even 1 percent of the vote, forcing him to drop out.

    New York state Attorney General Letitia James has begun an investigation into the National Rifle Association’s finances, her spokeswoman said Saturday.

    “The Office of New York State Attorney General Letitia James has launched an investigation related to the National Rifle Association (NRA),” spokeswoman Kelly Donnelly said in an email to the Associated Press. “As part of this investigation, the Attorney General has issued subpoenas.”

    William A. Brewer, the NRA‘s outside lawyer, said the gun lobby group “will fully cooperate with any inquiry into its finances.”

    New York state Attorney General Letitia James has begun an investigation into the National Rifle Association. A spokeswoman for James said Saturday that her office has issued subpoenas as part of the probe. (Associated Press)

    James, a Democrat, vowed during her campaign last year to investigate the NRA’s not-for-profit status if elected.

    “I will use the constitutional power as an attorney general to regulate charities, that includes the NRA, to investigate their legitimacy,” she said at a July 12 rally.

    The news comes as the gun rights group grapples with infighting that erupted during its annual convention in Indianapolis this weekend. Oliver North announced Saturday that he would step down from his role as president. The move follows his failed attempt to remove NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre.

    The rift within the NRA was fueled in part by the threatened New York investigation. The group began a review of all its contractors last summer after James promised to investigate.

    The review led the NRA to sue its longtime public relations firm, Oklahoma-based Ackerman McQueen, which some NRA officials complained was refusing to turn over financial records. North had taken the firm’s side in the legal battle, which led to accusations he had a conflict of interest because Ackerman had paid him.

    The NRA has clashed repeatedly with New York elected officials aiming to curb the organization’s political influence.

    The group filed a lawsuit last year against Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other state officials after New York fined insurance broker Lockton Cos. LLC $7 million for underwriting an NRA-branded insurance program called Carry Guard.

    Four die as crane collapses across Seattle street – BBC News

    A section of the crane plunged into Mercer Street, Seattle

    Four people were killed and three others injured when a construction crane collapsed in the US city of Seattle.

    Cars were crushed when the crane fell from a building site and into a road in the South Lake Union district, the Seattle Fire Department said.

    Two were killed working in the crane and two were killed in their cars.

    A woman and her baby, and a man in his 20s, were injured and taken to hospital, officials said.

    The incident happened at about 15:30 local time (22:30 GMT) on Saturday.

    Witness Esther Nelson told the Seattle Times that the crane appeared to break in half during strong winds.

    “Half of it was flying down sideways on the building, the other half fell down on the street, crossing both lanes of traffic,” she said.

    The building under construction was badly damaged. The development is to house a new Google Seattle campus and about 150 new flats, the Seattle Times reported.

      Boeing might represent the greatest indictment of 21st-century capitalism – Salon
      Boeing might represent the greatest indictment of 21st-century capitalism – Salon

      A veteran commercial pilot and software engineer with over three decades of experience has just written the most damning account of the recent Boeing 737 fiasco. At one level, author Gregory Travis has provided us with the most detailed account of why a particular plane model once synonymous with reliability became a techno-death trap. But ultimately, his story is a parable of all that is wrong with 21st-century capitalism; Boeing has become a company that embodies all of its worst pathologies. It has a totally unsustainable business model—one that has persistently ignored the risks of excessive offshoring, the pitfalls of divorcing engineering from the basic R&D function, the perils of “demodularization,” and the perverse incentives of “shareholder capitalism,” whereby basic safety concerns have repeatedly been sacrificed at the altar of greed. It’s also a devastating takedown of a company that once represented the apex of civilian aviation, whose dominance has been steadily eroded as it has increased its toxic ties to the U.S. military. In that sense it mirrors the decline of America as a manufacturing superpower. And finally, it shows a company displaying a complete loss of human perspective in the “man vs. machine” debate.

      Here’s the crux of Travis’s analysis: “Design shortcuts” led to safety hazards. The newest version of Boeing’s 737 plane, previously known for its reliability and ease of use, became a high-tech disaster. Machines overwhelmed man. And worst of all, the aviation industry regulatory overseer, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), subcontracted the safety/certification functions to Boeing itself, so there was no early warning system in place to avert the resultant tragedy.

      Travis largely restricts his analysis to the 737. But his article illustrates pathologies long evident at Boeing and the FAA.

      Let’s look at the last problem first: The FAA suffers from reduced funding from Congress (the Daily Beast reported that “the agency’s 2019 budget actually cut funding for the Aviation Safety Office by 1.7 percent”), and a corresponding loss of aviation expertise, as many of its top personnel have migrated to the private sector. Of course, that’s nothing new for the FAA, which has a sad history of hemorrhaging personnel since the days of the air traffic controllers’ strike/collective dismissal under Reagan (a cost control measure), as well as embracing neoliberal, supposedly market-based performance incentives that are thoroughly inappropriate for a regulatory body first and foremost responsible for flight safety.

      Becoming more “industry-friendly” and starved of adequate personnel and fiscal resources to do its job properly, the FAA has therefore been forced to delegate much of its regulatory oversight and certification functions to the airline industry itself (“self-certification”) and has therefore become a case study in “regulatory capture.”

      Boeing’s failures resonate with the public in a way that no complicated financial fraud possibly could. It takes a certain level of technical expertise to understand how the toxicity of a financial derivative poses dangers to an economic system; but everybody instinctively understands the tragic impact of a plane crash, like the doomed Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines 737-related accidents.

      The seeds of Boeing’s destruction arguably were planted well before the 737-related mishaps. The warning signs were already evident in the 787 Dreamliner program a decade ago, which even today continues to be characterized by repeated engine design flaws and cost overruns. In a Harvard Business Review article, Professors Gary Pisano and Willy Shih first highlighted the perils of Boeing’s embrace of “demodularization”: “[T]he shift from aluminum alloys to carbon-fiber-composite materials changed things. The old modular design rules could not fully account for stress transmission and loading at the system level—something that Boeing did not get right initially.”

      Boeing couldn’t get it right because the company had shifted large chunks of its design and manufacturing facilities to disparate parts around the globe—too far apart geographically, in fact, to monitor everything properly: “As a result it encountered problems assembling the pieces (such as the horizontal stabilizer from Alenia Aeronautica in Italy and the wing box from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan). Significant redesign and rework were required, and the program suffered major delays,” write Pisano and Shih.

      With one part of the plane being manufactured in Italy, and another in Japan, management was unable to assess quickly the resultant design and engineering flaws before launch. Even after the initial launch delays were addressed, Dreamliner’s history has been characterized by repeated recalls and cost overruns.

      Offshoring, of course, is nothing new. In our brave new world of globalized capitalism, multinational corporations like Boeing are constantly on the lookout for global labor arbitrage possibilities, which have the happy effect of curbing unit labor costs, fattening profit margins, and thereby juicing the company stock price (an increasingly important part of management compensation, irrespective of the underlying performance of the company itself in the real world). These are all part and parcel of the pathologies inherent in America’s increasingly financialized “shareholder capitalism” (see here for more details).

      But Boeing’s problems extend beyond that. It is a company that has historically been very successful in the highly competitive civil aviation market since the 747 jumbo jet (“the Queen of the skies”) first dominated some 50 years ago. The 21st century has been less kind to the company, however, as its failures have been increasingly exacerbated by its growing, and increasingly toxic, ties to the U.S. defense industry.

      These links began in the late 1990s when the U.S. Department of Defense helped to engineer a merger of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, the latter an important supplier of combat aircraft to the United States. Far from being the “largest, strongest, broadest, most admired aerospace corporation in the world,” as promised at the time of the merger by John McDonnell, chairman of McDonnell Douglas, the corrupting practices of the Pentagon soon began to infect the newly combined entity. In particular, the 787’s outsourcing strategy turned out to be a fiasco, which even then-Boeing CEO Jim Albaugh was forced to concede in a Seattle Times report.

      But the Seattle Times also exposed that the rot took hold well before the 787 debacle, citing an internal Boeing Report, written in 2001 by Dr. L.J. Hart-Smith, a mere five years after the merger was consummated. Hart-Smith described the disastrous economic effects of excessive outsourcing that began to afflict Boeing almost immediately, especially as its ties to the military expanded. These problems are elaborated here by longtime defense analysts Franklin “Chuck” Spinney and Pierre Sprey:

      “The so-called spin-offs offs from Defense spending can transmit the corrupting effects of the politically motivated, cost-plus economics of the Military – Industrial – Congressional Complex (MICC) into the larger economy[.] The MICC not only subsidizes wasteful cost growth in the Pentagon, its activities infect the overall economy by soaking up scarce investment and human capital; corrupting the practices of science and engineering; distorting research content on a huge scale; while providing incentives for inefficient production and management practices, (e.g. excessive outsourcing for political reasons – aka the political engineering practices explained here and here), not to mention the politicizing of industrial management.”

      Contact with the Pentagon often signals death for a civilian company because of the incentives inherent in its “cost-plus” contracts, along with the geographic disbursement of manufacturing facilities to as many parts of the country as possible in order to maximize congressional political support for increasingly expensive military boondoggles—what Spinney and Sprey term “political engineering.” These two factors bias corporate practices toward inflating costs and therefore foster waste and diminish safety. By contrast, in a traditional civilian model, profit margins are best secured by reducing costs as much as possible in order to maximize the bottom line.

      As Boeing’s ties to the military increased, so too did its shoddy corporate practices. The 787 Dreamliner is still plagued with production problems, and there is little sign that Boeing has rectified them. The company has failed to reintegrate basic manufacturing and R&D to correct the original problems highlighted by Shih and Pisano (quite the contrary, as the company is increasingly shifting production to China in order to safeguard its market share there). Just this month, the New York Times has reported that “the [Charleston, South Carolina-based] factory, which makes the 787 Dreamliner, has been plagued by shoddy production and weak oversight that have threatened to compromise safety.” A former quality manager, John Barnett, a whistleblower who worked at Boeing for nearly three decades, damningly suggested to the New York Times: “I haven’t seen a plane out of Charleston yet that I’d put my name on saying it’s safe and airworthy.” Recall that Boeing originally moved some of its operations to the “right to work” state of South Carolina to undermine the strength of its unionized workforce in the state of Washington, which has had an adverse effect on the overall quality of its products.

      That’s on top of the recent 737 debacle, where Boeing evidently missed safety risks in the design of the newer model, “like an anti-stall system that played a role in both crashes,” as the same New York Times article noted. But the genesis of the problem of the 737, a plane Gregory Travis (a pilot of 30 years’ standing and a software engineer of 40 years’ experience) writes was once known for its “reliability” and relative technological “simplicity,” lay in the fact that “market and technological forces pushed the 737 into ever-larger versions with increasing electronic and mechanical complexity.”

      The main problem, notes Travis, was the engine redesign. The engine’s size was increased to enhance the 737’s overall energy efficiency, but it became too large to be accommodated in its traditional spot on the plane. The expansion ultimately necessitated extending the engine up and well in front of the wing. That changed the relationship between engine’s “thrust” and its center of gravity, which, in the words of Travis, caused the 737 “to ‘pitch up,’ or raise its nose… a bit too much for comfort on power application as well as at already-high angles of attack. It violated that most ancient of aviation canons and probably violated the certification criteria of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.”

      “Angle of attack,” as Travis defines, refers to the angle between the wing and the relative wind blowing over it. The more a pilot lifts the nose of the airplane, the higher the angle of attack and the more the lift of the wing increases—until you reach the stall limit angle of attack, when suddenly the wing stops lifting entirely (because the relative wind’s smooth airflow over the wing has separated catastrophically from the wing surface). That’s why an airplane that adds extra “pitch up” force to the nose when the pilot commands just a slight increase in angle of attack (that is, in nose up angle) is so dangerously unstable—because it can lead to a fatal stall situation that likely was the cause of the two crashes.

      Egregious violations to basic aerodynamic principles should have induced the FAA to step in and force a redesign of the Boeing’s latest incarnation of the 737 (the so-called “Max 8”) in order to minimize the safety risk. But there were two problems:

      1. Making the required hardware modifications would have been hugely expensive (to the point where Boeing would have had to build an entirely new aircraft, rather than merely modifying a popular, hitherto safe and easy-to-fly airplane)
      2. As noted above, the FAA was already overwhelmed, and consequently was beginning to allow Boeing to “self-certify” its own planes.

      Rather than design a whole new plane the “solution” to point 1 was the installation of yet more software, in this case the “Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System,” or MCAS, for short. The goal, writes Travis, was to enable the computers to push “the nose of the plane down when the system thinks the plane might exceed its angle-of-attack limits; it does so to avoid an aerodynamic stall. Boeing put MCAS into the 737 Max because the larger engines and their placement make a stall more likely in a 737 Max than in previous 737 models.” Unfortunately, the MCAS software “solution” was a totally incompetent, unsafe Band-Aid that used the computer to counter (or perhaps more correctly, to mask) the airplane’s dangerous tendency to lift the nose too much and get the stall situation where the computer takes over from the pilot to resolve a problem that initially stemmed from a hardware issue.

      As far as point 2 goes, as Travis describes it:

      “As airplanes became more complex and the gulf between what the FAA could pay and what an aircraft manufacturer could pay grew larger, more and more of those engineers migrated from the public to the private sector. Soon the FAA had no in-house ability to determine if a particular airplane’s design and manufacture were safe. So the FAA said to the airplane manufacturers, ‘Why don’t you just have your people tell us if your designs are safe?’”

      You can immediately spot the parallels between the 2008 global financial crisis and the Boeing crashes. Much like the FAA with Boeing, in 2008, our global monetary authorities, regulators and ratings agencies were starved of adequate resources and expertise to properly scrutinize the activities of Wall Street’s financial engineers. They were forced to accept at face value the banks’ mathematically unsound “value at risk” models to justify the soundness and fundamental safety of their newly created derivatives on the lines that the underlying asset pricing followed a “normal” distribution pattern. Of course, these derivatives did no such thing, because the price history was inadequate to establish a truly normal pattern; therefore, the math on which risk management was predicated turned out to be flawed with catastrophic consequences, as former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan ultimately acknowledged.

      Similarly, the MCAS software “solution” that was supposed to “fix” the engineering problem of the new 737 failed, because it was based on a flawed paradigm: no computer software can fundamentally repudiate the principles of aerodynamics. And in both cases, the regulatory capture and inadequate financial resources accorded to the authority precluded it from stepping in before disaster struck. Hence, the FAA did not once highlight the risks of the new anti-stall system when it certified the “new and improved” 737 Max 8 as airworthy some two years ago, according to the Washington Post. This is because Boeing had already attested to the plane’s fundamental fly-worthiness (much as Wall Street’s models minimized the possibility of a “black swan” discontinuity in the financial markets, which induced the relevant compliance bodies to green light them).

      Consequently, both Boeing and a multitude of financial institutions post-2008 suffered “crashes.” Note as well in each case how increasing complexity becomes the enemy of effective regulation and, ultimately, safety considerations themselves. In both cases, they ignored what Travis and others call the KISS principle: “Keep it simple, stupid.”

      There’s another interesting dimension to this Boeing calamity, which points to the perpetual “man vs. machine” debate that has been the story of capitalism since the days of the Luddites. Contrary to popular characterization, the Luddites were not simply technophobes, beating back the forces of progress. They were highly skilled artisans, protesting the fact that their livelihood was being displaced by automation, imposed on and displacing them like expendable commodities with virtually no consultation from the business owners themselves.

      Likewise, in the new Max 8 plane, the new MCAS software was introduced without letting the pilots know about its main features. The key characteristic of MCAS is that it is activated without the pilots’ input. Worse still, according to the Verge, “both jets that crashed lacked safety features that could have provided crucial information to the crew because they were sold as options by Boeing, according to the New York Times.”

      A huge failing of MCAS is that it effectively eliminates the human “feel” dimension to flying, as Travis illustrates:

      “In the old days, when cables connected the pilot’s controls to the flying surfaces, you had to pull up, hard, if the airplane was trimmed to descend. You had to push, hard, if the airplane was trimmed to ascend. With computer oversight there is a loss of natural sense in the controls. In the 737 Max, there is no real ‘natural feel’…

      “There is only an artificial feel, a feeling that the computer wants the pilots to feel. And sometimes, it doesn’t feel so great.

      “When the flight computer trims the airplane to descend, because the MCAS system thinks it’s about to stall, a set of motors and jacks push the pilot’s control columns forward. It turns out that the flight management computer can put a lot of force into that column—indeed, so much force that a human pilot can quickly become exhausted trying to pull the column back, trying to tell the computer that this really, really should not be happening.” (Emphasis added.)

      The MCAS computer software taxes a pilot beyond his physical capacities. And while it is true that in modern long haul commercial flying, computers do most of the actual flying, redundancy is normally built into the system to enable human beings to override the software if the pilot spots a problem. What distinguishes the newly incorporated MCAS system is that it denies the pilot’s ultimate sovereignty or, as the author starkly puts it: “It denies the pilots the ability to respond to what’s before their own eyes.”

      Travis ultimately evokes Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” to indicate something of the scale of the technological dysfunction created here by Boeing: “Raise the nose, HAL.” “I’m sorry, Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

      The key difference between the two situations is that in Kubrick’s masterpiece, HAL, the computer, was finally overridden by human action when circumstances necessitated and was therefore deactivated before more disaster could strike. The issue implicit in Travis’ imagery in regard to the Max 8 is that we may have taken this technophilia too far in the direction of computers to the point where today’s modern day “HAL” cannot be controlled by the pilot.

      Boeing’s pathologies therefore illustrate the perils of innovation for innovation’s sake. But the company is symptomatic of a much bigger problem: We lionize the “progress” of Silicon Valley’s entrepreneurs, even as they produce self-driving cars (which cause fatal accidents), multifunctional smart phones (that threaten our privacy), high-tech drones (that bring airports to a standstill), or any kind of extreme automation in the workplace that degrades the role of human beings.

      The crashes of the Boeing 737 jets ultimately reflect a hubristic faith in the power of the machine, a factor that is creating its own kind of dystopian 21st-century nightmare worthy of a Philip K. Dick novel. We view technology not as a man-made invention designed to help us, but as an autonomously fixed condition that bears little relation to human behavior. This lack of integration means that complexity overwhelms us, rather than enhances our quality of life. It commodifies us. Labor is just a cost input to be replaced, if possible, by a robot; it is no longer viewed as a source of demand. The same unthinking mentality that sees regulators as a dispensable encumbrance who clutter the operations of “the free market”; or safety is an optional feature that mustn’t be allowed to interfere with the bottom line; where the needs of employees are subsidiary to the profits of shareholders and management; and the military is prioritized over the needs of the civilian economy.

      Boeing sadly embodies so much of our current economic and social dysfunction with predictably deadly consequences. But it is not alone or unique by any stretch of the imagination.

      1 Dead, 3 Injured in Synagogue Shooting in Poway, Deputies Detain Suspect – NBC 7 San Diego
      1 Dead, 3 Injured in Synagogue Shooting in Poway, Deputies Detain Suspect – NBC 7 San Diego

      A woman has died and a rabbi was injured after shots were fired inside a Poway, California synagogue filled with people celebrating the last day of Passover. A suspect was taken into custody approximately two miles away from the synagogue while three patients were rushed to a nearby hospital. 

      A man with a rifle entered Chabad of Poway on Rancho Bernardo Road, west of Interstate 15 at 11:23 a.m. and opened fire on the people inside, law enforcement officials said. 

      “We didn’t hear him screaming or saying anything. He was just focused to kill. You saw the hate and the murder in his eyes,” one witness told NBC 7. “He had a vest and he had clips in the vest. He was ready. He was ready. He came in to kill.” 

      The suspect John T. Earnest, 19, of San Diego, does not have a criminal history and has no apparent connection with white supremacist groups, according to San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore. Read more about Earnest here.

      As the suspect fled the scene, an off-duty U.S. Border Patrol agent who was in the synagogue at the time of the shooting opened fire on the suspect, missing the man but striking his vehicle, Gore said.

      Outside the Poway Synagogue Shooting Scene

      Near the freeway, a San Diego police officer was en route to the scene while monitoring the sheriff’s dispatch when he saw the suspect vehicle.

      The suspect pulled over, jumped out of his car with his hands up and was taken into custody, SDPD Chief David Nisleit said.

      “As the officer was placing this 19-year-old male into custody, he clearly saw a rifle sitting on the front passenger seat of the suspect vehicle,” Nisleit added. 

      More than half a dozen police cars were seen along Rancho Bernardo Road outside Phil’s BBQ — roughly two miles away from the temple — where the suspect was apprehended.

      Officials have not released a possible motive for the shooting. 

      They are preparing search warrants for the Earnst residence, his vehicle and for the synagogue in Poway. They are also collecting digital evidence and are aware of his manifesto, Gore said. 

      A 60-year-old woman died from injuries suffered in the shooting. A girl and two adult men, including a rabbi, were injured and rushed to nearby hospitals, officials confirmed.

      The 57-year-old rabbi suffered injuries to index fingers, which trauma surgeon Michael Katz, M.D. said was “the largest injury” of the three surviving victims.

      The rabbi was taken into surgery, where he “most likely” will lose his right index finger but may keep his left index finger.

      “The rabbi is appropriately upset,” Katz said.

      The 34-year-old man and the girl sustained shrapnel injuries. Katz said the three should “make good recoveries.”

      “While mass shootings are rare, gunshot wound victims, for us, are not,” Katz said. “At the time of such a tragic event, it’s important to be a supportive mechanism for everyone involved.”

      Chabad of Poway is located at 16934 Chabad Way. The temple was filled as members marked the last day of Passover.

      “It’s a very important celebration for us. There’s lots of people inside, they’re praying,” Minoo Anvari, a member of the congregation, told NBC 7. “Everybody was crying and screaming.”

      Anvari said her husband was inside during the shooting and told her someone came in and started cursing and shooting.

      Residents Drew Foncerrada and Avery Foncerrada were walking their dog in the area when they saw “cop cars racing.”

      “People choose this neighborhood for their kids because it’s totally safe,” Drew Foncerrada said.

      “Nothing happens like this over here,” Avery Foncerrada added.

      Two other places of worship, St. John of Damascus Orthodox and Incarnation Lutheran Church, are located immediately next to the synagogue.

      John lives near the synagogue and said when he heard the noise of several patrol cars going up and down the street he knew something was not right.

      “It’s a pretty tight neighborhood. I’ve been here for 20-some years,” he said. “I have a buddy whose daughter goes to preschool here, and, you know, the people here are the nicest people you ever met.” 

      “I want you to know, this is not Poway,” said Mayor Steve Vaus who described the shooting as a hate crime during interviews with cable news channels. “We always walk with our arms around each other.” 

      “We are grateful to those in the congregation there that engaged the shooter and prevented this from being a much more horrific incident,” Vaus told MSNBC.

      Those injured were transported to Palomar Medical Center Poway, according to deputies. The sheriff said the girl was then transferred to Rady Children’s Hospital.

      Man Detained Following Poway Synagogue Shooting

      Initially, two children were reported missing during the incident, but deputies confirmed they were reunited with their parents shortly after.

      “As you can imagine, it was an extremely chaotic scene with people running everywhere when we got here,” San Diego County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Aaron Meleen said.

      The Family Assistance Center will be at Poway High School 15500 Espola Road to help relatives looking for loved ones from the synagogue.

      U.S. Rep. Scott Peters, D-52, posted on social media, saying Saturday’s shooting marks six months to the day of the Tree of Life synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

      Other leaders sent condolences including President Donald Trump.

      “My deepest sympathies go to the people that were affected, the families, their loved ones, by the obviously looks right now based on my last conversations, looks like a hate crime, hard to believe,” President Trump said from the south lawn of the White House. “We’re doing some very heavy research we’ll see what happens, what comes up, at this moment it looks like a hate crime, but my deepest sympathies to all of those affected and we’ll get to the bottom of it.”

      Trump celebrates economy, Mueller report during NRA address

      Trump takes a victory lap during address; White House chief correspondent John Roberts reports.

      National Rifle Association President Oliver North said Saturday that he won’t serve a second term as the leader of the gun-rights group.

      The resignation appears to be the culmination of an internal power struggle among the leadership that has recently engulfed the group, which reached a crescendo on Friday when the NRA’s executive vice president Wayne LaPierre, the effective public face of the organization, accused North of pressuring him to resign.

      In a letter read out by a board member Saturday, North said: “Please know I hoped to be with you today as NRA president endorsed for reelection. I’m now informed that that will not happen.”

      He said that the NRA should form a committee to probe the group’s finances, adding that it represents a “clear crisis” that “needs to be dealt with” if the organization wants to remain a viable organization.

      In a separate letter dated Thursday to NRA board members, LaPierre said North asked him to resign on Wednesday. North told LaPierre the NRA’s longtime advertising firm, Ackerman McQueen, planned to send a letter to the board through North that would be “bad for me” unless he resigned.

      “Yesterday evening, I was forced to confront one of those defining choices — styled, in the parlance of extortionists — as an offer I couldn’t refuse,” the letter, which was obtained by the Wall Street Journal, read. “I refused it.”

      He added that North said “the letter would not be sent — if I were to abruptly resign,” noting that “He stated that he could ‘negotiate’ an ‘excellent retirement’ for me.”

      The Daily Beast reported Saturday that the organization had also suspended its top lawyer, Steve Hart, although it was not immediately clear why. Meanwhile, NPR reported that the organization’s membership opposed an executive session of the meeting and a secret session without the media present.

      A lawsuit filed by the NRA against Ackerman last month claims the company overbilled the group and that North had a conflict of interest because Ackerman paid him.

      LaPierre accused North of having “contractual and financial loyalties” to Ackerman in addition to his criticism that the NRA’s messaging has moved too far from the original mission of gun safety and the outdoors.

      “As you know, the NRA. has over this past year taken steps to strengthen its efforts to document and verify compliance by our vendors with our purchasing practices and their contracts,” LaPierre wrote in his letter on Thursday to the board. “We’ve met extraordinary resistance from one vendor — Ackerman McQueen.”

      North’s reign at the organization lasted less than a year and shows the NRA’s internal support for LaPierre who became a symbol of gun-rights movement in the U.S. after being the public face of the group and its policies for decades.

      “Wayne has the confidence of a strong majority of the board,” Todd Rathner, a board member from Arizona, told the Associated Press.

      “They trust him. They know that he’s the face of the NRA. And quite frankly I think that anybody that wants to remove him, they’re going to have to get through this board first.”

      The turmoil in the organization played out as it held its 148th annual conference in Indianapolis, with President Trump headlining the convention Friday and promising to protect gun rights in the 2020 elections and oppose gun-control efforts by Democrats.

      Concha: I want to hear Biden questioned about the issues, not blind praise

      The Hill media reporter Joe Concha reacts to Joe Biden’s 2020 run and the media’s reaction on ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight.’

      Joe Biden was 24 in 1967 when the Beatles’ “With a Little Help from My Friends” first hit radio. The song could be Biden’s campaign theme song today to describe how his media friends are boosting his presidential candidacy.

      The famed F-bomber of Team Obama, Biden’s position was called “progressive patriotism” and termed “a bold appeal to bedrock American values” in news accounts this week after he announced Thursday that he is running for the Democratic presidential nomination.

      Perennial Democrat and ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos described Biden as “so familiar he can go straight to the general election in some ways.”

      DOUGLAS MACKINNON: TRUMP IS RIGHT TO SKIP WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS’ DINNER – WHY SIT THROUGH INSULTS?

      Journalists humanized the candidate. “CBS This Morning” co-host Norah O’Donnell went for the folksy nicknames. Biden became “Uncle Joe” or “Regular Joe from Scranton, Pennsylvania.”

      ABC depicted Biden as a friend to the working class, holding his first campaign meeting “at a Teamsters hall in Pittsburgh emphasizing that lunch pail, labor union politics that he’s always championed.”

      Biden’s scandals and gaffes were either downplayed or skipped altogether.

      ABC’s “World News Tonight” was agog, with anchor David Muir declaring: “The major new headline tonight in the race for 2020: Former Vice President Joe Biden will announce he’s running this week in a video Thursday morning.”

      Biden has run two failed presidential campaigns, but now his third is the “major new headline.”

      By Friday, ABC, CBS and NBC had devoted more than 47 minutes to Biden’s candidacy in their evening newscasts. Most of that was either positive or downplaying Biden’s negatives.

      NBC said Biden “took direct aim at President Trump,” which seems odd phrasing from a press that thinks everything Trump does incites violence.

      Biden also got love from establishment lefties, especially from “The View.” Co-host Joy Behar used the chance to bemoan America under Trump.

      “We’ve never had a president this bad,” Behar said, noting how terrible America is now in her view. “We were the good guys and now we’re not. Now we’re not. People look at this country in horror and say what happened to America? It breaks my heart.”

      Journalists who are already coping with declining popularity suffer every time another journalist seems to go too far.

      MSNBC’s “Hardball” host Chris Matthews wasn’t thrill-up-his-leg excited, but he was close. “I thought that message today was very – very thrilling to me. I thought it was very American … a powerful message,” he told viewers.

      Biden actually compared Biden to “one of the world’s greatest champions of human rights and political inclusion” – South Africa’s Nelson Mandela.

      Matthews played a clip of Mandela and segued to say that “Joe Biden made a similar appeal and a similar critique.” This was Matthews trying desperately to apply racial relevance to a man The Atlantic called one of the “white men in their 70s” running in this election.

      NBC noted that Biden was having a fundraiser, “at the home of David Cohen, senior vice president of Comcast, parent company of NBCUniversal.” Comcast is also the parent company of MSNBC.

      When Biden was slammed, it came from the left. Mostly he was criticized for how he handled the 1991 Senate confirmation hearing for now-Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, in which Anita Hill testified that Thomas had sexually harassed her.

      Hill is still unhappy with how she was treated and the media did highlight that, especially since Biden wouldn’t apologize for his conduct in questioning her.

      No one asked if anyone wanted to apologize to Justice Thomas.

      The Washington Post’s Monica Hesse said Biden “is becoming the master of not getting it.” “The View” hosts begged him to apologize to Hill. Behar even scripted it for him, suggesting, Biden tell Hill that “I’m sorry for the way I treated you.”

      Biden wouldn’t bite. Meanwhile, his “View” buddies joined him in the fraudulent claim that the Obama White House had “not one single whisper of scandal.”

      Controversies involving Biden required a magnifying glass to find.

      Stories of Biden making some women uncomfortable with hugs and other hands-on behavior got less than two minutes of coverage.

      The former vice president’s awkward remarks – like calling a former congressman his “old butt buddy” or telling an African-American audience that Republicans are “going to put y’all back in chains” – went unmentioned.

      There were a few Biden naysayers. CNN highlighted the former vice president’s plagiarism scandal, with politics reporter Chris Cillizza saying, “he’s never really shown the quality of candidate that we expected him to be.” Cillizza showed comparison clips of Biden’s speech and the one it appeared he had copied from.

      “Morning Joe” Host Joe Scarborough was similarly downbeat. Scarborough demolished Biden’s chances, saying that “almost every Democrat I have spoken with is concerned that this is going to end badly for Joe Biden, and that he should not get into the race.”

      No Longer Prom-inent

      The annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner has fallen on hard times. President Trump is continuing his boycott of the “nerd prom” and journalists are unhappy. This year’s dinner Saturday night will feature a historian instead of a comedian. Party!

      The Washington Post blamed Trump for the collapse of humor at the dinner. “Trump, unlike former presidents, seems to lack a funny bone,” we were told.

      CNN’s “Reliable Sources” newsletter declared: “It’s not ‘nerd prom’ anymore” and huffed that the president will “hold a media-bashing rally instead.”

      CNN’s “Reliable Sources” anchor Brian Stelter complained that “the White House is actually telling the administration officials to boycott the dinner celebrating the First Amendment.”

      But after how last year’s dinner mistreated White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, Trump has every reason not to attend.

      More signs of a bad week for journalism

      Journalists who decry the term “fake news” can’t be entirely thrilled about the return of Brian Williams. The MSNBC anchor scandalized NBC back in 2015 when it was discovered he lied about events that took place while he was covering the war in Iraq in 2003.

      Now Politico is touting the “big comeback” of the mythmaker. It was only last year that Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple was bemoaning how “MSNBC now has nine hours per week with big credibility problems” – a mix of Williams and host Joy Reid. Brian Williams 2.0 won’t help.

      Journalists also got caught up in criticism about where and how they are willing to stalk potential interview subjects.

      MSNBC and NBC reporter Mike Viqueira caused a stir by cornering Special Counsel Robert Mueller leaving church on Easter Sunday. That was followed by his colleague Kristen Welker interrupting the annual White House Easter Egg Roll to ask President Trump about impeachment. She shouted to Trump: “Are you worried about impeachment, Mr. President?”

      Journalists who are already coping with declining popularity suffer every time another journalist seems to go too far.

      Heavy weekend snow update, 1 inch per hour in parts of Michigan – MLive.com
      Heavy weekend snow update, 1 inch per hour in parts of Michigan – MLive.com

      GRAND RAPIDS, MI – The National Weather Service has updated its forecast for Saturday night’s rain and snow headed for parts of Michigan, with one section of the Lower Peninsula slated to get 3-5 inches of dense, heavy snow.

      Snowfall rates could top an inch per hour in some spots.

      Here’s what we know heading into Saturday night:

      * Areas close to I-94 like Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and stretching east toward Jackson will see the highest snowfall, at 3 to 5 inches, the NWS said. Heavy snow falling at an inch per hour could occur between 8 p.m. tonight and 2 a.m. Sunday. The precipitation may start out as rain before changing to snow. Heavy slush could accumulate on roads, so leave extra travel time. Travel is expected to become more difficult in this area after sunset.

      * Areas closer to Grand Rapids and Lansing, along the I-96 corridor, could see up to 3 inches of snow between tonight and 1 a.m. Sunday. The farther south you are, the heavier snow amount you could see.

      * Areas north of M-46, in a line from roughly Muskegon to Alma, might not see any snow.

      Any snow that falls tonight will melt off on Sunday, when the Lower Peninsula will see sunny skies and temps climbing into the mid-50s.

      Shooting at Poway synagogue leaves at least two injured, person detained for questioning – 10News

      POWAY, Calif. (KGTV) — San Diego County Sheriff’s deputies are responding to a shooting at a synagogue in Poway on Saturday afternoon.

      The incident was reported at the Congregation Chabad located at 16934 Chabad Way sometime before 11:30 a.m., the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office twitter account reported.

      “Deputies investigate reports of a man with a gun. Please stay clear of the area and allow deputies to safely do their job. Thank you for your patience and cooperation,” said the tweet.

      A suspect, described only as a man, has been arrested the sheriff’s office said.

      10News learned that at least two people were shot and were transported to Palomar Medical Center.

      One of the victims, a rabbi conducting service, suffered hand injuries. His condition is unknown at this time. A witness told 10News that despite his injuries, the rabbi was trying to calm worshippers and the gunman.

      The Sheriff’s Department tweeted that eastbound Espola Road at Summerfield Lane and westbound Espola Road at Avenida Florencia would be closed through the morning of Sunday, April 28th.

      The synagogue was hosting its Passover Holiday Celebration which was scheduled to begin at 11 a.m., according to an event announcement. The celebration was to end at 7 p.m. with a final Passover meal.

      It’s unknown how many people were inside the synagogue at the time of the shooting.

      Saturday’s shooting comes six months after nearly a dozen people were shot and killed in a Pittsburgh synagogue. Robert Bowers is accused of gunning down a total of 18 worshippers, killing 11 of them, at the Tree of Life synagogue on October 27, 2018.

      April 27 at 2:34 PM

      SAINTHAMARUTHU, Sri Lanka — They arrived a day or two after the Easter Sunday bombings and moved into a low-slung house behind a high wall and black metal gate, unloading boxes from a pale gray minivan.

      But the neighbors in the seaside town of Sainthamaruthu soon began to suspect that something wasn’t right. Finally, a group of local residents asked the new arrivals — men, women and children — to leave town.

      Within hours, the quiet lane was turned into a war zone.

      On Friday, at least 15 people, including six children, were killed in bomb blasts and gunfire as Sri Lankan security forces closed in on the house.

      Police believe the fiery explosions were triggered deliberately — the final violent acts of a group whose hideout had bombmaking items and black backpacks. Their preparations pointed to just one thing: possible plans for the next steps in a campaign of terror that began April 21 with bombings at churches that claimed more than 250 lives.

      The identities of those killed in Sainthamaruthu were not immediately known or released. On Saturday, after the chaos, crime scene personnel in fluorescent vests roamed the area around the home collecting metal pellets, torn pieces of clothing and fragments of flesh.

      The confrontation on Sri Lanka’s eastern shore — on the other side of the island from the capital, Colombo — came amid a nationwide security crackdown and searches for suspects across the country. Police have deployed new emergency powers to stop and question individuals and to conduct raids.

      But the events that flushed out the suspects in Friday’s raids involved something simpler: neighborhood intuition.

      [The remote Sri Lankan enclave that produced the massacre mastermind]

      It began when Imam Lateef, 54, the vice-chairman of the nearby Hijra Mosque, received a call from the landlord who had rented the home to the group. The landlord was worried about the people in the house. Their behavior was suspicious, Lateef said, and the landlord wanted them to leave.

      Lateef and several other members of the mosque walked over to the house, along a canal crowded with lotus plants.

      The man who answered the door said that the family was from Kattankudy, the hometown of Zahran Hashim, the mastermind of the attacks, and the base of National Thowheed Jamaath, the Islamist extremist group Hashim founded. The mosque delegation politely asked them to leave by the following day.

      Meanwhile, after Friday prayers, Mohammed Rizwan, a local shopkeeper, was chatting with a group of friends about the new arrivals. They had heard they were from Kattankudy and resolved to check them out.

      When Rizwan went by in the early evening Friday, he said that a man at the house told him to get out and pointed a gun at his chest. Rizwan took off running, grabbing the nearest police officer he could find — a local traffic cop.

      Minutes later, the first blast shook the house.

      A second blast followed. Then a third. But this time, special police units and soldiers were on the scene.

      The blasts blew a hole in the roof and wall of the house, sending tiles flying. The security forces exchanged gunfire with a man carrying an AK-47 rifle. He was shot dead.

      Amid the confusion, security forces also shot at three people in an auto-rickshaw that failed to heed warnings to stop, injuring two and killing one. It turned out the trio had no connection to the house or the attacks.

      Earlier on Friday, police had raided a house about three miles from the rented home. There they found a cache of explosives, police said, plus the clothing and flag used by the Easter Sunday bombers to record a video professing allegiance to the Islamic State.

      When the authorities entered the home in Sainthamaruthu at dawn on Saturday, they found the charred bodies of children in a corner of the room. They also discovered two survivors. An injured woman and toddler were taken to the hospital.

      The evidence left behind was chilling. The home contained bombmaking equipment, including detonators, wires, plastic tubes for explosives and three identical, brand-new black backpacks.

      Outside, the body of the man shot by the security forces — identified only as “Niyaz” by a local police official — still lay face down on the cobbled pavement as flies buzzed around the corpse. Ripped pieces of clothing were scattered on the ground together with bullet casings. Torn sheaves of paper with the hadith — the sayings of the prophet Muhammad — were strewn in two places.

      In the still, humid air, crime scene personnel climbed ladders and began to scour the house’s roof for evidence. Meanwhile, police officers took two white plastic sheets and created a makeshift body bag, hoisting a corpse into the back of a navy blue police truck.

      Nearby, hundreds of local residents had spent the morning sheltering at a school while they waited to be able to return to their homes. The entire town of Sainthamuruthu was under a curfew, with all roads closed and all shops shuttered.

      Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena said Friday that strict new measures were being taken to identify and track people, similar to hard-line methods used during the civil war between separatist ethnic Tamils and the government that ended in 2009.

      He said that about 70 individuals suspected of ties to the Islamic State had been arrested, and that another 70 suspects were still at large. On Saturday, the National Thowheed Jamaath, the Islamist extremist group linked to the Easter attacks, was banned.

      “We had to declare an emergency situation to suppress terrorists and ensure a peaceful environment in the country,” the president said. “Every household in the country will be checked” and lists of all residents made to “ensure that no unknown person can live anywhere.”

      Rizwan, the shopkeeper, expressed a sense of pride at his actions a day earlier.

      “I feel like I did a brave thing when I went to see what was happening,” he said. Perhaps, he added, this would mark the end of the terror that has stalked Sri Lanka in recent days.

      “We hope it’s over,” he said. “But we don’t know.”

      NRA President Oliver North stepping down as infighting roils the gun-rights group – NBC News
      NRA President Oliver North stepping down as infighting roils the gun-rights group – NBC News

      A contentious public infight within the National Rifle Association came to a head on Saturday with the organization’s president, retired Lt. Col. Oliver North, announcing that he will not return for a second term.

      North had intended to make an appearance at the organization’s national convention in Indianapolis over the weekend, but instead of attending, Richard Childress, who serves as one of the NRA’s current vice presidents, read a letter on his behalf.

      “Please note, I hoped to be with you today as interim president endorsed for reelection. I’m now informed that will now not happen,” Childress read to a convention hall full of NRA members. “I’ve been on the NRA board for more than two decades, it was a great privilege to serve as your president this past year.”

      North’s departure comes amid a heated battle with Wayne LaPierre, chief executive officer and the longtime spiritual leader of the NRA. North reportedly asked LaPierre to resign from his post earlier this week as the organization faces challenges surrounding fundraising and its nonprofit status, the New York Times reported.

      The organization’s 2016 election spending, including $36 million to help Trump, has prompted regulators in its charter base of New York state to threaten to investigate its nonprofit status.

      North told organization brass that he created a committee to investigate possible financial improprieties committed by the organization, the Times reported. North also sent a letter to the board with allegations that LePierre charged a vendor more than $200,000 on wardrobe purchases, according to The Wall Street Journal.

      In response, LePierre sent a letter to the NRA board alleging he was being extorted and pressured by North, who threatened to release “damaging” information about him if he did not resign, according to the Journal. LaPierre said he refused and called on board members to “see this for what it is: a threat meant to intimidate and divide us.”

      The dispute between the two NRA titans was triggered in part after the organization filed a lawsuit against advertising firm Ackerman McQueen, alleging the agency was not being transparent with how it used NRA money, according to the Journal. The NRA paid Ackerman McQueen $42.6 million in 2017, making it the group’s largest vendor, the Journal reported.

      The lawsuit is also connected to a looming investigation by New York state regulators seeking to re-examine the NRA’s tax exemption status as a non-profit.

      North, who accepted a “salaried position” with Ackerman McQueen, said that the lawsuit was filed without notice to the board, according to the letter read by Childress.

      LaPierre alleged that North has “contractual and financial loyalties” to Ackerman McQueen and was, therefore, protecting them, according to the Journal.

      North, a central figure in the Iran-Contra scandal, was selected last year to be the NRA’s president and his term will end on Monday.

      The 76 member NRA board will face pressing decisions when it meets on Monday.

      April 27 at 2:34 PM

      SAINTHAMARUTHU, Sri Lanka — They arrived a day or two after the Easter Sunday bombings and moved into a low-slung house behind a high wall and black metal gate, unloading boxes from a pale gray minivan.

      But the neighbors in the seaside town of Sainthamaruthu soon began to suspect that something wasn’t right. Finally, a group of local residents asked the new arrivals — men, women and children — to leave town.

      Within hours, the quiet lane was turned into a war zone.

      On Friday, at least 15 people, including six children, were killed in bomb blasts and gunfire as Sri Lankan security forces closed in on the house.

      Police believe the fiery explosions were triggered deliberately — the final violent acts of a group whose hideout had bombmaking items and black backpacks. Their preparations pointed to just one thing: possible plans for the next steps in a campaign of terror that began April 21 with bombings at churches that claimed more than 250 lives.

      The identities of those killed in Sainthamaruthu were not immediately known or released. On Saturday, after the chaos, crime scene personnel in fluorescent vests roamed the area around the home collecting metal pellets, torn pieces of clothing and fragments of flesh.

      The confrontation on Sri Lanka’s eastern shore — on the other side of the island from the capital, Colombo — came amid a nationwide security crackdown and searches for suspects across the country. Police have deployed new emergency powers to stop and question individuals and to conduct raids.

      But the events that flushed out the suspects in Friday’s raids involved something simpler: neighborhood intuition.

      It began when Imam Lateef, 54, the vice-chairman of the nearby Hijra Mosque, received a call from the landlord who had rented the home to the group. The landlord was worried about the people in the house. Their behavior was suspicious, Lateef said, and the landlord wanted them to leave.

      Lateef and several other members of the mosque walked over to the house, along a canal crowded with lotus plants.

      The man who answered the door said that the family was from Kattankudy, the hometown of Zahran Hashim, the mastermind of the attacks, and the base of National Thowheed Jamaath, the Islamist extremist group Hashim founded. The mosque delegation politely asked them to leave by the following day.

      Meanwhile, after Friday prayers, Mohammed Rizwan, a local shopkeeper, was chatting with a group of friends about the new arrivals. They had heard they were from Kattankudy and resolved to check them out.

      When Rizwan went by in the early evening Friday, he said that a man at the house told him to get out and pointed a gun at his chest. Rizwan took off running, grabbing the nearest police officer he could find — a local traffic cop.

      Minutes later, the first blast shook the house.

      A second blast followed. Then a third. But this time, special police units and soldiers were on the scene.

      The blasts blew a hole in the roof and wall of the house, sending tiles flying. The security forces exchanged gunfire with a man carrying an AK-47 rifle. He was shot dead.

      Amid the confusion, security forces also shot at three people in an auto-rickshaw that failed to heed warnings to stop, injuring two and killing one. It turned out the trio had no connection to the house or the attacks.

      Earlier on Friday, police had raided a house about three miles from the rented home. There they found a cache of explosives, police said, plus the clothing and flag used by the Easter Sunday bombers to record a video professing allegiance to the Islamic State.

      When the authorities entered the home in Sainthamaruthu at dawn on Saturday, they found the charred bodies of children in a corner of the room. They also discovered two survivors. An injured woman and toddler were taken to the hospital.

      The evidence left behind was chilling. The home contained bombmaking equipment, including detonators, wires, plastic tubes for explosives and three identical, brand-new black backpacks.

      Outside, the body of the man shot by the security forces — identified only as “Niyaz” by a local police official — still lay face down on the cobbled pavement as flies buzzed around the corpse. Ripped pieces of clothing were scattered on the ground together with bullet casings. Torn sheaves of paper with the hadith — the sayings of the prophet Muhammad — were strewn in two places.

      In the still, humid air, crime scene personnel climbed ladders and began to scour the house’s roof for evidence. Meanwhile, police officers took two white plastic sheets and created a makeshift body bag, hoisting a corpse into the back of a navy blue police truck.

      Nearby, hundreds of local residents had spent the morning sheltering at a school while they waited to be able to return to their homes. The entire town of Sainthamuruthu was under a curfew, with all roads closed and all shops shuttered.

      Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena said Friday that strict new measures were being taken to identify and track people, similar to hard-line methods used during the civil war between separatist ethnic Tamils and the government that ended in 2009.

      He said that about 70 individuals suspected of ties to the Islamic State had been arrested, and that another 70 suspects were still at large. On Saturday, the National Thowheed Jamaath, the Islamist extremist group linked to the Easter attacks, was banned.

      “We had to declare an emergency situation to suppress terrorists and ensure a peaceful environment in the country,” the president said. “Every household in the country will be checked” and lists of all residents made to “ensure that no unknown person can live anywhere.”

      Rizwan, the shopkeeper, expressed a sense of pride at his actions a day earlier.

      “I feel like I did a brave thing when I went to see what was happening,” he said. Perhaps, he added, this would mark the end of the terror that has stalked Sri Lanka in recent days.

      “We hope it’s over,” he said. “But we don’t know.”

      Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., said this week that she does not support launching impeachment hearings against President Trump in the wake of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report — the latest wrinkle in left-wing Democrats’ plans to oust the president.

      The Arizona Republic asked Sinema, who won a tight race in the traditionally Republican state in November, whether she supported impeachment proceedings.

      SCHIFF HEDGES ON TRUMP IMPEACHMENT, SAYS INSTEAD, ‘VOTE HIS A– OUT OF OFFICE’

      “No,” she responded. When asked why, she said: “Everyone knows.”

      Sinema will receive a classified version of the report next week, and she said that she wants to “read all the information I can get before making a determination” on her views of Mueller’s findings.

      While investigators effectively cleared the president and his associates on the question of collusion with the Russian government, it outlined a series of actions investigated as part of the obstruction-of-justice inquiry — although it did not make a determination on the question.

      Democrats have demanded access to the full unredacted report and called on Mueller to testify, but some left-wing Democrats in the House and in the 2020 field have called for the House to begin impeachment proceedings.

      “We cannot be an America that says it is OK for a president of the United States to try and block an investigation into a foreign attack on our country or an investigation into that president’s own misbehavior — so I have called on the House to initiate impeachment proceedings,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said in New Hampshire last week.

      In justifying her call, she said that there are “three big toplines [from the Mueller report] that are inescapable.”

      “A hostile foreign government attacked our 2016 election in order to help Donald Trump; Donald Trump welcomed that help; and when the federal government tried to investigate what happened, Donald Trump took multiple steps to try and derail or obstruct the investigations,” she said.

      MUELLER REPORT IGNITES NEW DEM BATTLE OVER IMPEACHMENT

      Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., said Monday that she believes Congress “should take the steps toward impeachment,” although she noted the difficulties such a push would face getting through the Republican-controlled Senate.

      In the House, the push has picked up the support from left-wing freshman Democrats. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., who said in January that she wanted to “impeach the motherf—-r,” has introduced a resolution urging the House Judiciary Committee to probe whether Trump committed impeachment-level offenses. That resolution has been signed onto by fellow freshman Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

      But not only would impeachment be a tough sell to Republicans, it has been opposed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who said last month: “I’m not for impeachment.”

      “Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country,” she told The Washington Post. “And he’s just not worth it.”

      White House approves official’s testimony after contempt threat – The Washington Post
      White House approves official’s testimony after contempt threat – The Washington Post

      Rachael Bade

      April 27 at 10:49 AM

      The Trump administration has agreed to allow a former White House personnel security director, who House Democrats threatened with contempt, to testify on May 1 — a de-escalation move after President Trump said he would ignore “all the subpoenas.”

      White House counsel Pat A. Cipollone sent a letter Friday to Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio), the ranking Republican on the House Oversight Committee, saying that Carl Kline, the former White House personnel security director, would answer questions for the panel’s investigation of security clearance issues in an on-the-record interview next week.

      The White House had blocked Kline from showing up for a subpoenaed deposition earlier this week, leading Chairman Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) to announce that he’d hold Kline in contempt for ignoring a compulsory Hill summons.

      Cipollone’s offer is unlikely to mollify panel Democrats: He said the scope of the interview would be limited to “policy and practices” of the security clearance office.

      But Democrats have already received broad briefings on office practices. They want to grill Kline on specific decisions he made to grant security clearances to several top Trump officials after his subordinates raised red flags about their qualifications. 

      A whistleblower from his office, Tricia Newbold, told the committee she and her team counted at least 25 situations over the past year in what she viewed as unmerited approvals that were granted despite concerns about blackmail or other exposures.

      One of those individuals was Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, who serves as a senior adviser to the president. 

      Newbold said Kline and the office’s practices under the Trump administration had potentially put the nation’s most guarded secrets at risk.

      Kline no longer works in the security office.

      “Mr. Kline has been, and remains, willing to cooperate voluntarily on whatever terms can be agreed on,” said Robert Driscoll, Kline’s lawyer. “I’m sure this won’t be the end of the matter, but . . . wherever we can helpful, we will be.”

      The White House’s relent on the matter came after Jordan on Friday made a personal plea for Kline’s appearance, an unusual move for one of Trump’s fiercest defenders on the Hill. Republicans last Congress had joined Democrats in wanting to investigate the matter, but since Democrats took the majority, Cummings and Jordan have locked horns near constantly.

      But a Republican aide familiar with Jordan’s thinking said he was hoping to de-escalate the rising standoff between House Democrats and the White House. This week alone, after all, Trump officials blocked or announced they would block subpoenaed individuals from cooperating with House investigations. 

      Should such a precedent stand, future administrations could do the same thing. 

      Even as Jordan moved to play a mediator role between the two sides, he blamed Cummings for the situation, not the Trump White House. He has noted that Kline had agreed to appear voluntarily before he was subpoenaed and accused Democrats of an “orchestrated inter-branch confrontation.” 

      Oversight Democrats did not return requests for comments.
