President Nicolas Maduro blames US, Juan Guaido for Venezuela power outage

Day seven of major power outages across Venezuela that, coupled with a water shortage and medical supply emergency, has citizens taking desperate measures; Gillian Turner reports.

Venezuelan intelligence agents have “kidnapped” a top aide to interim leader Juan Guaidó following a middle-of-the-night raid at gunpoint, where agents allegedly planted firearms and a grenade to justify the arrest.

The detention of Guaido’s chief of staff, Roberto Marrero, came shortly after the Venezuelan authorities entered and searched the homes of Marrero and opposition lawmaker Sergio Vergara on Thursday. Vergara said he was woken up by heavy banging at his door and agents pointing weapons at him.

Both officials accompanied the interim leader on a recent Latin American tour to galvanize opposition to the socialist Nicolas Maduro regime and shore up support for Guaido as the legitimate leader of the country.

Guaido accused the regime of kidnapping and urged it to release his aide, whose location remains unknown, the BBC reported.

The opposition leader said Venezuelan intelligence agents planted “two rifles and a grenade” at his aide’s home during the raid. “We don’t know where he is. He should be freed immediately,” Guaido tweeted.

The Trump administration, meanwhile, condemned the raids and threatened Maduro’s regime with consequences.

“The United States condemns raids by Maduro’s security services and detention of Roberto Marrero, Chief of Staff to Interim President @jguaido,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wrote in a tweet. “We call for his immediate release. We will hold accountable those involved.”

Vergara was reportedly also briefly detained following the raids. According to the BBC, he said over 40 heavily armed officers from the intelligence agency raided the properties.

Most Western governments, including the U.S., are backing Guaidó and recognize his legitimacy. Venezuelan prosecutors say Guaidó is being investigated for alleged links to violence as well as for any connection to the nation’s worst power outages that plunged the country into darkness for extensive time periods.

Venezuelan government officials directly blamed the U.S. — including Florida Senator Marco Rubio — for the outages. More reliable sources peg the blackouts as being caused due to crumbling infrastructure.

Ocasio-Cortez taking ‘baby steps’ toward finding time for her constituents – New York Post
Ocasio-Cortez taking ‘baby steps’ toward finding time for her constituents – New York Post

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday tried to explain her lack of office hours by saying she’s still taking “baby steps” — but said constituents who can’t work with her sporadic schedule should follow her on Twitter.

Almost four months after her inauguration, the freshman congresswoman only recently opened a Queens office and still doesn’t have one in the Bronx.

Instead, on Thursday, she appeared at the Westchester Square Library for just two hours during the workday, where she met with 17 locals.

“Right now we’re just taking these baby steps and adapting according to community feedback,” the 29-year-old told The Post when asked why her brief availability was in the middle of the day.

“We don’t want to be too concrete, we adapt to the feedback of the community, so if we hear that folks want more evening hours we’re happy to do that.”

Asked what people with jobs should do in the meantime, she suggested: “You can give us a call, you can email us, you can add us on social media.”

Ocasio-Cortez added that she’s “constantly” attending community events, noting that she’d be at Bronx Community Board 9 that night.

But when asked for a schedule of future events she’d be attending so her constituents could find her, the self-described Democratic socialist claimed she wasn’t “allowed.”

“Due to safety reasons I’m not allowed to, so Capitol Police, uh, yeah, it’s intense, so, Capitol Police recommend that we don’t give specific details about where we will be and when too far in advance,” she said.

The Capitol Police said it wouldn’t comment on its “consultations” with “Member offices on security-related matters,” but a Democratic House aide said the cops “have nothing to do with the decision to have a public schedule or not.”

“The police don’t tell us what to do. The police did not send out a memo that we advise you not to send out a public schedule,” said the aide.

“You still have to provide the information publicly so your constituents can come.”

In a Time cover story published Thursday, Ocasio-Cortez’s staffers said they’d been trained on how to screen visitors because of the mounting number of death threats targeting the freshman lawmaker.

The rattled aides said they now worry whenever they hear a knock on the door of her office on Capitol Hill.

Why New Zealand’s new gun controls would be unconstitutional in America – Washington Examiner
Why New Zealand’s new gun controls would be unconstitutional in America – Washington Examiner

As my colleague Anna Giaritelli notes, gun control activists are calling for U.S. adoption of New Zealand’s new gun regulations, as ordered by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern following last week’s terrorist attack.

One problem: these calls reflect either a basic lack of understanding on U.S. constitutional law, or a failure to actually read the New Zealand regulations.

I have read those regulations, and I am convinced that Ardern’s new regulations would be patently unconstitutional were any federal, state, or local government to enact them in America.

Section 3. of the Order (effectively clarifying legislation for New Zealand’s 1983 Arms Act) rules that most semi-automatic firearms are now to be regarded as “military-style weapons.” The order declares that illegal firearms will now include:

Five cartridges means five rounds. And “a semi-automatic firearm that is capable of being used in combination with a detachable magazine,” means the vast majority of handguns relied upon by Americans to protect their families and homes.

This is the key issue. Such a ban in America would explicitly conflict with the Supreme Court’s ruling in the most relevant Second Amendment case, District of Colombia v. Heller. And don’t take my word for it — read Antonin Scalia’s rationale for why most semi-automatic handguns used to defend American homes are constitutionally protected: “There are many reasons that a citizen may prefer a handgun for home defense: It is easier to store in a location that is readily accessible in an emergency; it cannot easily be redirected or wrestled away by an attacker; it is easier to use for those without the upper-body strength to lift and aim a long gun; it can be pointed at a burglar with one hand while the other hand dials the police. Whatever the reason, handguns are the most popular weapon chosen by Americans for self-defense in the home, and a complete prohibition of their use is invalid.”

This, the Supreme Court concluded, means that when it comes to comparing the First Amendment to the Second Amendment: “The Second Amendment is no different. Like the First, it is the very product of an interest-balancing by the people… And whatever else it leaves to future evaluation, it surely elevates above all other interests the right of law-abiding, responsible citizens to use arms in defense of hearth and home.”

Yes, the Supreme Court has declined to overrule state regulations banning firearm magazines with capacities of more than ten rounds. But Heller’s finding of a basic right to self-defense via semi-automatic handguns would proscribe a six round or more magazine capacity limit as unconstitutional. After all, that limit would effectively ban possession of any handgun. Indeed, that is why state magazine capacity bans are focused on a ten round limit: restrictions at a lower-round number such as five rounds would effectively ban handguns and thus invite the Supreme Court to overrule them.

There’s another point that stands out from Heller: its imperative that individuals be able to defend their homes effectively. Considering that trained police officers in firearms incidents miss their targets more often than they hit them, a magazine capacity limit of five rounds would degrade the right of self defense to a level of impotency.

This is not ultimately a question of opinion.

We all have our views on the Second Amendment and gun rights. Yet, when it comes to judging New Zealand’s legislation as applied to U.S. constitutional rights, the law stands clear. In the American Left’s salutation of this legislation, we’re seeing another example of gun control conversations driven by a lack of understanding and European-style emotional response.

Trump recognizes the high-ground reality in the Golan Heights – Washington Examiner
Trump recognizes the high-ground reality in the Golan Heights – Washington Examiner

President Trump has recognized Israeli sovereignty over areas of the Golan Heights it currently controls. In doing so, Trump effectively formalizes something that everyone already knew. Namely, that the Golan Heights, which Israel seized following a 1967 Syrian-Egyptian-Jordanian effort to annihilate it, were unlikely to be Syrian again for a very long time.

If you lament that, you have one person to blame: Syrian dictator Bashar Assad. Trump hinted at as much in his Thursday announcement, clarifying the “critical strategic and security importance” that the Golan provides to Israeli security.

Assad allowed Iran to turn southwestern Syria into one big missile launchpad. And considering that Iranian Revolutionary Guard missiles are targeted at Israeli cities which are less than 100 kilometers from Syrian territory, such as Haifa, Israel would be stupid to cede the Golan.

Trump’s action here recognizes the Golan’s tactical utility for Israeli security. The tactical utility of high ground positions has long been clear in military tactics, and in Jewish history, and the roughly 70 percent of the Golan Heights that Israel controls brings great defensive power. This focuses on preventing Syrian and Iranian aggression, supporting Israeli actions beyond its territory, and providing early warning of enemy missile and air forces.

At the margin of action, Trump’s decision is a no-brainer. The Iranian regime is ideologically invested in Israel’s annihilation and increasingly predisposed to take risks to that end. Although Israel can mitigate that threat by using force, Israeli loss of the Golan would effectively give Iran an elevated position from which to fire deep into Israel.

Moreover, if Assad had wanted to get the Golan Heights back, he should have thought more carefully about allowing Israel’s mortal enemy to use Syria as a playground.

On a concluding side note, Trump has earned another chit here for his peace deal. When the time comes, he must be prepared to use it.

(CNN)House Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings said Thursday his committee has obtained new information that several senior White House officials have used personal email and messaging accounts to conduct government business, asserting that President Donald Trump’s son-in-law communicated with foreign leaders through a private messaging application that appears to lack adequate safeguards.

    Meghan McCain says she’s ’emotionally exhausted’ having to address Trump’s comments, doesn’t expect ‘decency’ from president’s family – ABC News

    An “emotionally exhausted” Meghan McCain again defended her father against President Trump Thursday on “The View,” saying she doesn’t “expect decency” from his family.

    “I don’t like coming here every day and having to do this, as all of you know. It’s extremely emotionally exhausting,” she said at the top of the show.

    “I don’t expect decency from the Trump family,” she added.

    During an official White House event at a tank manufacturing plant in Ohio on Wednesday, Trump spent nearly five minutes bashing the late Sen. John McCain because he didn’t receive credit for his funeral arrangements.

    “I gave him the kind of funeral that he wanted, which as president I had to approve.” Trump said. “I don’t care about this. I didn’t get a thank you. That’s OK.”

    The crowd of Ohio tank factory workers, many of whom are veterans, reportedly responded to the president’s criticism of McCain with silence. The longtime senator and former prisoner of war died seven months ago.

    Meghan McCain reminded everybody that she has six brothers and sisters, two of whom are currently serving their country in the military. For the first time, Bridget McCain spoke out about Trump’s attacks to her father.

    “Anyone that knows anything about political history can probably surmise why she’s chosen to lead a very private life,” McCain said about her sister’s tweets to Trump. “But she felt inclined to say and tweet this.”

    “Everyone doesn’t have to agree with my dad or like him, but I do ask you to be decent and respectful,” Bridget McCain tweeted. “Even if you were invited to my dad’s funeral, you would have only wanted to be there for the credit and not for any condolences.”

    The co-hosts questioned why more lawmakers weren’t coming out in defense of John McCain and holding the president accountable for his comments.

    “If people in Congress and the Senate can’t step up, it’s ok we are; the show is,” McCain said Thursday morning. “There’s a lot of power in the show. There’s a lot of power in what we do every day as women on this show and I’m very – I’m eternally grateful to all the support.”

    Co-host Ana Navarro called Republicans “spineless” for not speaking out, and said lawmakers feared the president.

    “They’re afraid of this man, because they think he is like Lord Voldemort and if they mention his name, he will come down and strike them dead politically,” she said.

    Navarro added that John McCain’s years in the military and in public service warranted a dignified funeral.

    “John McCain didn’t get the funeral that he wanted. He got the funeral that he deserved,” Navarro said. “He got the funeral that he earned through more than 60 years of service and sacrifice and pain for this country – something that Donald Trump would know nothing about.”

    The president condemned McCain over the weekend for being “last in his class” and again on Tuesday, saying he was “never a fan” and that he “never will be” after McCain voted against repealing Obamacare.

    Since Trump’s initial remarks, McCain family’s received attacks from all sides. Cindy McCain, the late senator’s widow, received a threatening message from a stranger.

    She later shared it on Twitter.

    Meghan McCain responded to Trump on “The View” Wednesday morning, too.

    (ABC News) Meghan McCain talks about the latest comments by President Donald Trump about her father, Sen. John McCain, on ABC’s “The View,” March 21, 2019.

    “Attacking someone who isn’t here is a bizarre low,” she said. “My dad’s not here but I’m sure as hell here.”

    Over the weekend and throughout the week, McCain has actively shared support given to her late father. On Thursday, she thanked Andy Cohen for denouncing Trump’s criticisms on his show “Watch What Happens Live.”

    On Thursday’s show, Navarro said every time the president criticizes John McCain, “we need to call it out.”

    “It might be exhausting. We cannot get exhausted,” she said. “We cannot get tired of being outraged by what this man is doing to the presidency of the United States.”

    President Trump signs an executive order to protect free speech on college campuses

    President Trump on Thursday signed an executive order to promote free speech on college campuses by threatening colleges with the loss of federal research funding if they do not protect those rights.

    “We’re here to take historic action to defend American students and American values,” Trump said, surrounded by conservative student activists at the signing ceremony. “They’ve been under siege.”

    “Under the guise of speech codes, safe spaces and trigger warnings, these universities have tried to restrict free thought, impose total conformity and shut down the voices of great young Americans like those here today,” he said.

    TRUMP, ON CPAC STAGE WITH BERKELEY ASSAULT VICTIM, PROMISES EXECUTIVE ORDER ON CAMPUS FREE SPEECH

    A senior administration official said the order directs 12 grant-making agencies to use their authority in coordination with the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to ensure institutions that receive federal research or education grants promote free speech and free inquiry. White House officials have said it will apply to more than $35 billion in grants.

    Public universities seeking funding would have to certify they comply with the First Amendment, which already applies to them. Private universities, which have more flexibility in limiting speech, would need to commit to their own institutional rules.

    “Even as universities have received billions and billions of dollars from taxpayers, many have become increasingly hostile to free speech and the First Amendment,” Trump said.

    Trump had announced that such an order was forthcoming at the Conservative Political Action Conference last month, where he said the directive would require colleges and universities to support free speech in exchange for federal research dollars.

    Video

    He brought on stage Hayden Williams, a conservative activist who was attacked while working a recruitment table on campus at the University of California-Berkeley. The video quickly went viral, with conservatives citing it as further evidence of the stifling and sometimes-violent atmosphere that conservatives face on campus.

    OPINION: TRUMP ORDER PROTECTING CAMPUS FREE SPEECH IS RIGHT RESPONSE TO BERKELEY ASSAULT

    “He took a punch for all of us,” Trump said of Williams. “And we could never allow that to happen. And here is, in closing with Hayden, here’s the good news. He’s going to be a wealthy young man.”

    Video

    “If they want our dollars, and we give it to them by the billions, they’ve got to allow people like Hayden and many other great young people and old people to speak,” Trump said. “Free speech. If they don’t, it will be costly. That will be signed soon.”

    Talk show host Dennis Prager, who appears in an upcoming documentary called “No Safe Spaces,” said Thursday: “It’s tragic that in the one country that was founded on liberty–the country that enshrined freedom of speech in its foundational document–this executive order has become necessary. But, thanks to the left, it has. If President Trump can put a stop to the intolerance of non-leftist viewpoints on college campuses and help steer the country in the right direction, there just might be hope.”

    Conservative commentators such as Ann Coulter and Ben Shapiro have faced hostile atmospheres when trying to speak at universities — particularly Berkeley, where Coulter was forced to pull out of speaking and Shapiro faced protests that required police in full riot gear and intense security measures.

    White House officials declined to provide specific examples about how universities could lose funding and said implementation details will be finalized in coming months.

    Fox News’ Kellianne Jones, Robert Gearty and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    Sore loser Stacey Abrams for VP? Don’t do it, Uncle Joe! – Washington Examiner
    Sore loser Stacey Abrams for VP? Don’t do it, Uncle Joe! – Washington Examiner

    If any single candidate in the 2020 presidential race can galvanize the Obama base and swing the disaffected center and Never Trump coalition of the Republican Party, it’s former Vice President Joe Biden. For all his gaffes and faux pas, Uncle Joe is uniquely positioned to burst back into the scene and on the center of the debate stage.

    Yet Biden may be throwing a wrench into not just this strategy but his candidacy as a whole if the rumors that he’s actively courting Stacey Abrams to announce not just his presidential bid, but the failed gubernatorial candidate from Georgia as his running mate at the same time. Axios reports that despite opposition from his advisers, Biden specifically requested a meeting with Abrams to seriously consider bringing her onto the ticket from the start.

    To recap, Abrams’ resume includes a few years as a tax attorney, another as deputy city attorney for Atlanta, a decade in the Georgia General Assembly, and an anonymous career as a romance writer.

    That’s it. That’s her entire career.

    She hasn’t spent a single day in national politics and couldn’t even win her own gubernatorial election. Not that she’ll concede she lost fair and square, of course. She still maintains that, despite Republican Brian Kemp beating her by 1.4 percent of the vote, the election was stolen from her.

    Announcing Abrams as his running mate from the start would render Biden’s campaign dead on arrival for a laundry list of reasons, but first and foremost because it would end any possible alliance he could forge with Obama-to-Trump country. While Abrams campaigned effectively for a red state, she’s made a decisive leftward pivot since ending her campaign.

    To the Right, choosing Abrams would look like a declarative shot against the most tepid of 2016 Trump voters. To the Left, it would look like straight tokenism, selecting an unqualified running mate just to make the ticket less white and male. To the entire country, it would serve as the sole reminder of Biden’s greatest liability: he is very, very, very old.

    Biden will be 78 on Election Day. That would make him the same age as Ronald Reagan on his last day in office, the oldest anyone has ever been while serving as president.

    To beat dozens of young, angry candidates and, most importantly, the shamelessness and brash bravado of President Trump, Biden must lean into his reputations as a fighter and a stalwart of institutional power. He has to have the same, terrifying game face on that both horrified and beat Paul Ryan in the 2012 vice presidential debate. He certainly can’t look like a man too old to run without a backup option, nor can he look like one who knows it. He cannot make the same mistake as the late Sen. John McCain and put a charismatic but untested neophyte a heartbeat away from the presidency out of sheer insecurity.

    As the Washington Examiner‘s Philip Klein has correctly noted, Biden’s best day of his campaign will almost certainly be his first day. In the aftermath of his son’s death and in the midst of Trump-era chaos, Biden’s been able to position himself as an elder statesman and above the fray of degraded politics. The moment he announces, he’ll receive fire from all sides, ranging from virulent socialists and (rightly) from the Trump campaign, which reportedly fears him more than any other contender.

    Biden will have to build a coalition, but he’ll have to do it in earnest and refuse the temptation to pander. He has to look as much the strongman as Trump, a fighter who won’t take an attack lying down, but not one who’ll desecrate himself by going too deep into the gutter as Harris and the likes already seem keen to. Eventually Biden will be inclined to choose a progressive who hasn’t alienated the center with nasty rhetoric — perhaps South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg or even Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, but he can’t go too far if he hopes to take back the Rust Belt from Trump.

    Biden is the obvious heir apparent to the Resistance. He has to bolster himself with strength, not let himself fall through the center of simply sitting on too many chairs. Selecting Abrams as his running mate from the outset would almost certainly stretch him too thin and too frail.

    It’s Biden’s nomination to lose. All he has to do is make his first move from a position of power.

    Scarborough tweeted that he and his co-host and wife, Mika Brzezinski, have been “overwhelmed” by the response from viewers to Buttigieg’s appearance on “Morning Joe.”

    “Mika and I have been overwhelmed by the reaction [Pete Buttigieg] got after being on the show,” Scarborough tweeted. “The only other time in twelve years that we heard from as many people about a guest was after [Barack Obama] appeared on Morning Joe.”

    The 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has not yet officially entered the race, but has quickly earned national attention since announcing his exploratory committee.

    Buttigieg, a Navy veteran and the only openly gay candidate currently running for president, has been lauded as the “first millennial president.” He is also the only serving mayor running for president.

    In his Wednesday morning appearance on MSNBC, Buttigieg pushed the importance of “generational change” in politics.

    Last week, he announced that his campaign surpassed 65,000 individual donations, the threshold set by the Democratic National Committee to participate in the first Democratic primary debate.

    Former Murdoch Executive Says He Quit Over Fox’s Anti-Muslim Rhetoric – NPR

    Joseph Azam says he left his senior post at News Corp. in late 2017 over the coverage of Muslims, immigrants and race by Fox News and other Murdoch news outlets.

    Joseph Azam says he left his senior post at News Corp. in late 2017 over the coverage of Muslims, immigrants and race by Fox News and other Murdoch news outlets.

    Sasithon Pooviriyakul

    In recent days, Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News Channel and some of its corporate siblings have faced renewed and withering criticism for the way they depict Muslims and immigrants. Calls for boycotts of shows and pressure campaigns on advertisers ensued.

    Last weekend, a Muslim news producer said she quit Fox’s corporate cousin, Sky News Australia, over its coverage of Muslims following the massacre at two New Zealand mosques. Her post went viral.

    Now, add the voice of one of Murdoch’s former senior executives, who says he left his job in late 2017 over the coverage of Muslims, immigrants and race by Fox News and other Murdoch news outlets.

    “Scaring people. Demonizing immigrants. Creating, like, a fervor — or an anxiety about what was happening in our country,” former News Corp. Senior Vice President Joseph Azam tells NPR in his first public comments on his former employer.

    “It fundamentally bothered me on a lot of days and I think I probably wasn’t the only one,” he says.

    Azam was also group chief compliance officer for News Corp.’s corporate headquarters, The Wall Street Journal, the New York Post and the HarperCollins book publishing house, among other properties. He worked for News Corp. from 2015 until late 2017, leaving, he says, without any nondisclosure agreement. While News Corp. is technically separate from the corporate parent of Fox News, they are both controlled by Murdoch and his family.

    In separate interviews, a longtime friend of Azam’s and Azam’s wife said he relayed his concerns to them about News Corp. and Fox News at the time. Both women said that was his reason for deciding to leave the company.

    For Azam, his decision to leave News Corp. was a matter of personal pride as well as principle: Born in Kabul, Azam came to the United States as a toddler, part of a family of immigrants and war refugees seeking haven from the conflict caused by the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan nearly four decades ago.

    And Azam says the rhetoric coming from some of his corporate colleagues sickened him: Muslims derided as threats or less than human; immigrants depicted as invaders, dirty or criminal; African-Americans presented as menacing; Jewish figures characterized as playing roles in insidious conspiracies.

    Azam says he saw it throughout the Murdoch media empire — especially on the popular opinion shows of Fox News, including Jeanine Pirro, Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity, and Fox Business Network’s Lou Dobbs.

    Azam’s public remarks to NPR arrive after a slew of controversies for Fox News.

    Fox News star Tucker Carlson has been on the defensive over seemingly racist anti-Iraqi remarks he made years ago.

    Fox News star Tucker Carlson has been on the defensive over seemingly racist anti-Iraqi remarks he made years ago.

    Rich Polk/Getty Images for Politicon

    In recent days, the network has found itself forced to condemn recent anti-Muslim commentary by Pirro, an opinion host with close ties to President Trump. Fox News said her views “do not reflect those of the network and we have addressed the matter with her directly.”

    Prime-time Fox News star Tucker Carlson has been on the defensive over seemingly racist anti-Iraqi remarks he made years ago uncovered by the liberal watchdog group Media Matters (in 2008, Carlson called Iraqis “semi-literate primitive monkeys” on a shock-jock radio show). Carlson’s critics say those remarks dovetail with his more recent anti-immigrant commentaries on Fox. (Carlson was not made available by Fox to talk for this story.)

    Indeed Azam himself brings up an interaction with Carlson from two years ago. In June 2017, Carlson sent out this tweet from his personal account: “#Tucker: Why does America benefit from having tons of people from failing countries come here?”

    Azam shot back: “If you come upstairs to where all the executives who run your company sit and find me I can tell you, Tucker. #Afghanistan.”

    Azam says he took down his 2017 tweet reply after his boss told him not to attack other figures in the Murdoch empire.

    Azam’s boss, News Corp. General Counsel and Executive Vice President David Pitofsky, took him aside and counseled him not to attack other figures in the larger Murdoch empire, as Azam recalls it, and he took down the tweet. (Pitofsky declined to comment through a corporate spokesman.)

    Carlson is the focus of intense scrutiny from Media Matters as well as Muslim advocacy organizations. The Council on American-Islamic Relations, for example, has called for advertisers to boycott Fox News unless Carlson and Pirro are both dropped.

    Azam, now 37, in many ways is an embodiment of the American dream, an example of the drive and thrift that is often praised, at least in the abstract, by Fox hosts and commentators.

    After coming to the U.S., Azam grew up largely in Queens, N.Y., and then Southern California, at one point selling shoes at his father’s small store in Manhattan.

    He went to New York University and got his law degree from the University of California, Hastings College of Law in San Francisco.

    “My office at News Corp. looked over a corner near Rockefeller Center where my dad used to sell newspapers,” Azam says.

    In recent days, Fox News has found itself forced to condemn recent anti-Muslim commentary by Jeanine Pirro, an opinion host with close ties to President Trump.

    He says he loved working with his legal colleagues and many of the journalists. Yet at times he seethed in navigating News Corp., which is in the same building as Fox News in Midtown Manhattan. During an elevator ride shared with Pirro, Azam says, the host watched a monitor tuned to a Fox News report on a terrorist strike by Islamic extremists. Good fodder for the show, Pirro remarked, according to Azam. (Pirro was not made available for comment by Fox News for this story.)

    “My issue with this isn’t as an American Muslim. It’s not as a refugee. It’s not as an immigrant. It’s as an American,” Azam tells NPR. “I live here. I have kids here. And it worries me that, you know, what’s being put out into the universe could actually create a lot of risk for them.”

    Azam wrote about his experience as a refugee and an immigrant in a recent collection of essays edited by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Viet Nguyen. Azam says he was inspired to speak more directly now regarding his qualms about Fox and its corporate siblings by two incidents: the mass shootings of Muslims in New Zealand and the murder of an Afghan-American in Indiana last month. Authorities accuse a man of shooting Mustafa Ayoubi after yelling anti-Muslim slurs.

    Former Sky News Australia producer Rashna Farrukh also cited the New Zealand killings this week in quitting the cable network, which is owned by News Corp.

    “As a young Muslim woman, I had many crises of conscience working here, but the events of Friday snapped me out of the endless cycle of justifying my job to myself,” Farrukh wrote on the website of the ABC, Australia’s public broadcasting network. “I compromised my values and beliefs to stand idly by as I watched commentators and pundits instil[l] more and more fear into their viewers. I stood on the other side of the studio doors while they slammed every minority group in the country — mine included — increasing polarisation and paranoia among their viewers.”

    Since the departure of the late Roger Ailes as the network’s chairman, Fox News executives have at times sought to rein in more extreme commentary, barring a guest, for example, who spun a conspiracy theory around the Jewish philanthropist and investor George Soros.

    However, Azam says if anything, the rhetoric has gotten harsher since Trump came to power. Told of the nature of Azam’s critique, executives at Fox News and News Corp. declined to comment.

    The opinion pages of The Wall Street Journal, Azam argues, often sounded similar themes surfaced against immigration in a more high-brow fashion.

    “It was very eloquent, mostly. … It was policy backed, at a certain level,” Azam says. “In a very subtle and eloquent way, it was kind of like the stuff that would happen in the [New York Post], dressed up in a tuxedo.”

    As an example, Azam pointed to an opinion piece in the Journal by two leaders of a right-wing, populist Swedish political party claiming violence rose along with greater immigration there — though subsequent news coverage elsewhere seemingly debunked it. Under former Journal Editor Gerard Baker, Azam says, even the news coverage of the Trump administration’s initial Muslim ban “seemed to be aimed at shaping the narrative for the White House, to move away from talking about the fact that religion was being targeted.” Some journalists agreed, as NPR and other outlets reported at the time.

    Fox just publicly distanced itself from Pirro for questioning a Muslim congresswoman’s loyalty to the U.S. because the lawmaker wears hijab. Pirro was off the air last weekend. And the network won’t explicitly say whether it has suspended her. Trump has tweeted in support of both Pirro and Carlson. Azam says the network’s silence is telling, arguing that Fox is seeking to retain Pirro’s fans — and the president’s support.

    “I think that the wink-and-a-nod thing is very problematic because that is exactly how racists operate at the highest level, right? That is exactly how anti-Semites operate. That is exactly how Islamophobia operates at the highest level.”

    News Corp. is technically separate from the Murdoch family’s television and entertainment holdings, newly called Fox Corp. after a massive sale of assets to the Walt Disney Co. Yet Azam lays the responsibility at Rupert Murdoch’s feet, saying the punditry echoes what the media mogul himself appears to believe and promote. Azam notes, for example, a 2015 tweet in which the media chief wrote that most Muslims may be peaceful but until they destroy this “jihadist cancer” they must all be held responsible.

    Murdoch no longer tweets. But the controversies continue.

    “I grew up in New York City. I don’t think I’m very sensitive,” Azam says. “I’ve had guns pointed at me at my work. I’ve investigated corruption throughout Africa and the Middle East and in places where, you know, my life was in danger doing that. So I think I’m pretty thick-skinned when it comes to pretty much anything.

    “This stuff went beyond sort of being thick-skinned,” he says.

    Lion Air Crash Families Say They Were Pressured to Sign No-Suit Deal – The New York Times
    Lion Air Crash Families Say They Were Pressured to Sign No-Suit Deal – The New York Times

    Lion Air, which has amassed 15 major safety lapses in its 20-year history, including two fatal crashes, has a history of trying to use quick cash to make problems go away, according to government investigators, air safety regulators and people involved in previous accidents.

    One former Indonesian transportation safety investigator said that a Lion Air employee once tried to hand over a black garbage bag full of cash when the investigator was probing the fatal crash of a Lion Air flight that overshot the runway in bad weather in 2004. When the investigator declined the bag of cash, Edward Sirait, now president director of the Lion Air Group, asked why the payment had been refused, the investigator said.

    Such payments from Lion Air were common because transportation safety officials were poorly paid, former investigators said. A former high-level Lion Air employee confirmed that when he worked at the company, clandestine payments to government investigators, even for restaurants and prostitutes, were routine.

    Mr. Sirait did not respond to a request for comment on the account of the plastic bag full of cash.

    In an interview last year after the Flight 610 crash, he did not express condolences for the loss of life. He declined to discuss the unfolding investigation or maintenance logs detailing how the plane had recorded various data problems in the days preceding the crash.

    “I am not an engineer,” he said. “There are so many documents that I don’t know.”

    Vinni Wulandari, the sister of Mr. Harvino, the co-pilot, said that since her family sued Boeing, Lion Air has refused to pay out his pension and has not honored a verbal agreement to fund his children’s education. The company no longer is willing to meet with her, she said.

    “They’ve blocked my number,” Ms. Vinni said of Lion Air’s senior management. “It’s awful how the company treats us. We are victims, too.”

    New Zealand prime minister announces ban on ‘military-style semi-automatic weapons’ after mosque attack – Fox News

    New details surface in New Zealand terror attack on Christchurch mosques

    New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on Thursday announced the country was immediately banning “military-style semi-automatic weapons” after last week’s attack that killed 50 people at two mosques.

    Speaking to reporters, the prime minister said the weapons would be banned in addition to “all assault rifles,” among other firearms. Ardern said that legislation is currently being drafted and she expects the law to take effect by April 11.

    NEW ZEALAND PRIME MINISTER VOWS NEVER TO MENTION MOSQUE GUNMAN’S NAME

    “We will ban all high-capacity magazines. We will ban all parts with the ability to convert semiautomatic, or any other type of firearm, into a military-style semi-automatic weapon,” the prime minister said. “In short, every semi-automatic weapon used in the terrorist attack on Friday will be banned in this country.”

    Ardern said the government is working on a large-scale buyback plan for citizens possessing the weapons affected by the ban. The plan will allow the guns to be surrendered to police and “eventually destroyed.” Once the buyback is complete, she said, owners would receive “fair and reasonable compensation,” but did not elaborate.

    Those who still possess banned guns after a “reasonable period for returns” has passed will be found breaking the law, Ardern said. Penalties will include fines of up to $4,000 and/or three years in prison, with the draft legislation proposing stiffer measures.

    Ardern also said she and the Cabinet would work through legal exemptions to the ban, such as for farmers needing to cull their herds but said any exemptions would be “tightly regulated.”

    “We do have guns in New Zealand that are used for legitimate purposes by responsible owners every single day and that includes our rural community that manage pests, use for animal welfare and also for recreation,” Ardern said.

    Ardern said she believes the vast majority of these owners will support the ban because it’s about “national interest” and “safety.”

    The ban comes six days after a gunman opened fire at two mosques in Christchurch. The massacre left 50 people dead and dozens of others injured.

    Ardern said the man suspected of the attack bought his weapons legally with a standard gun license and modified their capacity by using 30-round magazines, “essentially turning them into military-style semi-automatic weapons.”

    The 28-year-old suspect bought the weapons “through a simple online purchase,” she said, and “took a significant number of lives using primarily two guns.”

    The alleged shooter, whom Fox News is not naming, has been charged with one count of murder in the attacks, which became New Zealand’s deadliest mass shooting in modern history. He is expected to face additional charges at his next court appearance April 5.

    Ardern’s announcement came as more of the dead were being buried. At least six funerals were held Thursday. Preparations were underway for a massive prayer service to be held Friday, with nearly 4,000 people expected to attend.

    The Golan Heights has a political and strategic significance which belies its size

    President Donald Trump says it is time the US recognises Israel’s sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights, which it captured from Syria in 1967.

    In a tweet, Mr Trump declared that the plateau was of “critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and regional stability”.

    Israel applied its administration and law to the Golan in 1981, but other governments did not recognise the act.

    Syria has consistently sought to regain sovereignty over the region.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has warned about the military “entrenchment” of his country’s arch-enemy Iran in the Syria conflict, tweeted his thanks to Mr Trump on Thursday.

    “At a time when Iran seeks to use Syria as a platform to destroy Israel, President Trump boldly recognizes Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights,” he wrote.

    There was no immediate response from the Syrian government.

    Meghan McCain says she’s ’emotionally exhausted’ having to address Trump’s comments, doesn’t expect ‘decency’ from president’s family – ABC News
    Meghan McCain says she’s ’emotionally exhausted’ having to address Trump’s comments, doesn’t expect ‘decency’ from president’s family – ABC News

    An “emotionally exhausted” Meghan McCain again defended her father against President Trump Thursday on “The View,” saying she doesn’t “expect decency” from his family.

    “I don’t like coming here every day and having to do this, as all of you know. It’s extremely emotionally exhausting,” she said at the top of the show.

    “I don’t expect decency from the Trump family,” she added.

    During an official White House event at a tank manufacturing plant in Ohio on Wednesday, Trump spent nearly five minutes bashing the late Sen. John McCain because he didn’t receive credit for his funeral arrangements.

    “I gave him the kind of funeral that he wanted, which as president I had to approve.” Trump said. “I don’t care about this. I didn’t get a thank you. That’s OK.”

    The crowd of Ohio tank factory workers, many of whom are veterans, reportedly responded to the president’s criticism of McCain with silence. The longtime senator and former prisoner of war died seven months ago.

    (Getty Images) President Donald Trump waits to welcome Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro to the White House, March 19, 2019. Meghan McCain on “The View.”

    Meghan McCain reminded everybody that she has six brothers and sisters, two of whom are currently serving their country in the military. For the first time, Bridget McCain spoke out about Trump’s attacks to her father.

    “Anyone that knows anything about political history can probably surmise why she’s chosen to lead a very private life,” McCain said about her sister’s tweets to Trump. “But she felt inclined to say and tweet this.”

    “Everyone doesn’t have to agree with my dad or like him, but I do ask you to be decent and respectful,” Bridget McCain tweeted. “Even if you were invited to my dad’s funeral, you would have only wanted to be there for the credit and not for any condolences.”

    The co-hosts questioned why more lawmakers weren’t coming out in defense of John McCain and holding the president accountable for his comments.

    “If people in Congress and the Senate can’t step up, it’s ok we are; the show is,” McCain said Thursday morning. “There’s a lot of power in the show. There’s a lot of power in what we do every day as women on this show and I’m very – I’m eternally grateful to all the support.”

    Co-host Ana Navarro called Republicans “spineless” for not speaking out, and said lawmakers feared the president.

    “They’re afraid of this man, because they think he is like Lord Voldemort and if they mention his name, he will come down and strike them dead politically,” she said.

    Navarro added that John McCain’s years in the military and in public service warranted a dignified funeral.

    “John McCain didn’t get the funeral that he wanted. He got the funeral that he deserved,” Navarro said. “He got the funeral that he earned through more than 60 years of service and sacrifice and pain for this country – something that Donald Trump would know nothing about.”

    The president condemned McCain over the weekend for being “last in his class” and again on Tuesday, saying he was “never a fan” and that he “never will be” after McCain voted against repealing Obamacare.

    Since Trump’s initial remarks, McCain family’s received attacks from all sides. Cindy McCain, the late senator’s widow, received a threatening message from a stranger.

    She later shared it on Twitter.

    Meghan McCain responded to Trump on “The View” Wednesday morning, too.

    (ABC News) Meghan McCain talks about the latest comments by President Donald Trump about her father, Sen. John McCain, on ABC’s “The View,” March 21, 2019.

    “Attacking someone who isn’t here is a bizarre low,” she said. “My dad’s not here but I’m sure as hell here.”

    Over the weekend and throughout the week, McCain has actively shared support given to her late father. On Thursday, she thanked Andy Cohen for denouncing Trump’s criticisms on his show “Watch What Happens Live.”

    On Thursday’s show, Navarro said every time the president criticizes John McCain, “we need to call it out.”

    “It might be exhausting. We cannot get exhausted,” she said. “We cannot get tired of being outraged by what this man is doing to the presidency of the United States.”

    Last ISIS stronghold falls in Baghouz, Syria

    BAGHOUZ, Syria — The caliphate has crumbled, and the final offensive is over. While the official announcement hasn’t yet been made – Fox News has been told that this village, the last ISIS stronghold, is liberated.

    It’s the first time since we’ve been here in Syria for five days that the bombs have stopped dropping and the gunfire has disappeared. We have witnessed the end of the caliphate – the brutal empire that once ruled over 8 million people – is gone.

    Troops here are now bringing down the black flags of ISIS. The flags no longer fly over the town, instilling fear.

    TRUMP DISPLAYS SYRIA MAP DETAILING ISIS TERRITORY LOSS, VOWS TERROR NETWORK ‘WILL BE GONE BY TONIGHT’

    The last five days, Fox News has witnessed the last major offensive up close -– with U.S.-backed SDF forces attacking ISIS from three sides, pushing the fighters back, house to house, then tent to tent, against the Euphrates River.

    Inside Baghouz, it’s easy to see how they hid for so long – not just in tunnels but trenches and hundreds of cubby holes covered by tarpaulins, which blend in perfectly to the dirt.

    In the end, the majority surrendered. In fact, since the start of the year about 60,000 have dripped into the desert, and most are now held in camps.

    There is a major concern about what to do with the camps though. The SDF has asked for U.S. support in setting up a tribunal here to prosecute them.

    Video

    This final corner of the caliphate was in the far eastern desert of Syria– it was where ISIS first captured territory, and it is where they finally lost.

    A clearing operation is now underway in the town– and an announcement is expected soon.

    CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

    None of the main surviving ISIS leaders have been caught inside Baghouz. Instead, they left their men to fight alone. It’s thought they prepared ahead for the insurgency.

    The scale of the devastation here is incredible. And everyone acknowledges that without U.S. support, it would have taken far longer.

    LAST ISIS ENCLAVE A SCENE OF ‘DEVASTATION:’ FOX NEWS VISITS ONLY REMAINING VILLAGE RULED BY TERROR GROUP

    For four-and-a-half years, ISIS held this territory, ruling over it with an iron fist. It was the terrorist group’s heartland – and they were so dug in that the only way to push them back was to flatten whole villages. The devastation here goes on for miles – and craters like this are a reminder of the critical role played by U.S. airpower. Military jets still fly overhead.

    SDF fighters are all so grateful to the U.S., not just for their help in the battle, but now for its decision to leave troops here when it’s done. Reports now suggest the figure may be around 1,000 staying.

    Theresa May pleads for Brexit delay as crucial European summit gets underway – The Washington Post
    Theresa May pleads for Brexit delay as crucial European summit gets underway – The Washington Post

    BRUSSELS — A humbled, even humiliated British Prime Minister Theresa May came to Brussels on Thursday not to dictate the terms of her country’s exit from the European Union, but to plead for a brief extension of its departure.

    Ahead of the meeting of E.U. leaders — a nail-biter that was expected to begin midafternoon and could stretch late into the night — attitudes appeared to be hardening against the British leader. Even some E.U. Anglophiles who once held out hope that Britain would change its mind and stay in the union were snapping that the sooner the door slams on the nation’s membership, the better.

    It was clear that Britain has not taken back control from Europe, as the hard-line advocates of Brexit envisioned. May arrived not exactly as a supplicant, but as less than an equal.

    May asked in a letter Wednesday for a delay of the U.K. departure until the end of June.

    “This delay is a matter of personal regret to me,” she told reporters on Thursday, standing in the glass entrance to the summit building, where Britain’s Union Jack may soon be removed from the row of the 28 E.U. members’ flags. “But a short extension would give Parliament the time to make a final choice that delivers on the result of the referendum.”

    The Europeans, though, are wary of her coming back again and asking for more. Their trust diminished, they want her to pass the deal before granting her a delay, potentially leaving a final decision until just hours before Britain would otherwise leave on March 29.

    “In principle, we can comply with that wish if next week we did get a positive vote on the withdrawal documents in the British Parliament,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel told German lawmakers before leaving for Brussels.

    Left unsaid was what will happen if the withdrawal deal does not clear Parliament — a real possibility, because it already has been defeated twice by historic margins. That would almost certainly force another emergency summit at the end of next week.

    Some leaders threatened the worst.

    “In case of a no vote, or a no, directly, it will guide everybody to a no-deal for sure,” said French President Emmanuel Macron on his way into the meeting. Economists and political analysts have warned that a no-deal Brexit could result in the halting of trade and travel and a hit to the British and European economies.

    In London, May’s allies said she was under “extraordinary pressure.” Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt told the BBC, “No prime minister in living memory has been tested in the way that she has.”

    May will have 10 minutes to plead her case Thursday, as 27 other heads of state listen around a ring-shaped table. Then they will go around the circle and each speak their mind. Once they finish their discussion, they will kick May out and decide what to do with her.

    In footage of the leaders greeting each other before settling in for business, May joked with Luxembourg’s prime minister, who just minutes before had echoed Macron and threatened to cast Britain out of the E.U. without a deal. She exchanged a tense and unsmiling double-kiss with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, with whom she has tangled.

    In past discussions, she has stuck to her talking points, angering other leaders who felt she showed little understanding of their own redlines and considerations. At times, leaders have emerged from meetings with her feeling less charitable than when they entered.

    [Can Brexit be stopped? 800,000 people are trying so hard that Parliament’s website is broken.]

    By now, E.U. policymakers have little sympathy for May. They’re fed up with Britain and want it to leave. They no longer hold out hope for a second referendum that could reverse the Brexit decision, preferring to break up and move on. 

    “We don’t want in the coming months, in the coming years, to be busy with Brexit,” said Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament’s Brexit coordinator, who used to post wistful videos on Twitter appealing Britons to abandon Brexit. “We want to be busy with the renewal of the European Union,” he told reporters before the meeting.

    The Europeans are keenly aware that the Brexit chaos is being driven by members of May’s own Conservative party. She has been unable to win over her own cabinet, which now confronts her daily. She is losing control, or has lost control, of the process. That makes them nervous.

    Their priority is to find a way for May to win approval for a deal that both she and they believe is the best possible, but that has proven toxic to the House of Commons. If the deal doesn’t work, the Europeans would prefer for the British leader to ask for a much longer extension and declare her willingness to hold elections in May for the European Parliament. She has so far ruled them out for fear of riling hard-line Brexit backers in the Conservative party.

    Ahead of the summit, European diplomats were unusually open about their fears for the coming days. Many worried that the economic tornado set off by a sudden British departure could hurt ordinary people across Europe. They expected they, too, would be blamed.

    “My lack of answer to my mother or to my friends: ‘Why have you contributed to this mess? Why have you done this? Why haven’t you done anything against it?’ ” said one senior E.U. diplomat, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss planning ahead of the meetings. “If that is the scenario, it is the most bitter experience.”

    When May triggered the two-year Brexit window, confident Brexiteers said squabbling European countries would quickly succumb to the crack British team of negotiators. Instead, the Europeans have remained unusually united, while the first two British Brexit ministers resigned to protest the deals they themselves agreed on.

    May and British lawmakers are now blaming each other for failing to have agreed on how to leave.

    On Wednesday night, May appeared at the lectern at 10 Downing Street and charged that lawmakers were blocking Brexit. Speaking directly to the British people, she said: “You are tired of the infighting. You are tired of the political games and the arcane procedural rows.”

    She added, “I am on your side.”

    Lawmakers across the parties shouted that it was May who had bungled Brexit — and that it was her Conservative party and 75 hard-line Brexiteers who have blocked passage of her exit deal.

    Some considered the “us vs. Parliament” message of May’s speech threatening — and no way to persuade wavering critics to swing behind her deal.

    Thursday morning, Commons Speaker John Bercow told Parliament, “None of you is a traitor,” adding: “The sole duty of every member of Parliament is to do what he or she thinks is right.”

    [British Parliament speaker pushes back against May over who is to blame for Brexit mess]

    Wes Streeting, a Labour lawmaker, said May’s message could whip up anger toward members of Parliament, some of whom already receive death threats.

    He called May’s speech “incendiary and irresponsible. If any harm comes to any of us, she will have to accept her share of responsibility.”

    A Downing Street spokeswoman told reporters that the prime minister’s office “flatly” rejected claims that the prime minister’s statement put lawmakers at risk.

    But lawmakers said the rhetoric hurt May’s cause.

    “There’s absolutely no chance she is going to win over MPs in sufficient numbers after that statement,” Lisa Nandy, another Labour lawmaker, told the ITV broadcaster. “It was an attack on liberal democracy itself. . . . I will not support a government that takes such a reckless, dangerous approach.”

    Sam Gyimah, a Conservative party member of Parliament, told the BBC that May’s new approach was a “low blow.” He said that he would not be blackmailed by and that the deal is still a poor one.

    Some of the 48 percent of people who voted to remain in the European Union in the June 2016 Brexit referendum were growing increasingly nervous about what might happen over the next few days.

    An online public petition calling on May to cancel Brexit attracted more than half a million signatures in mere hours — and then crashed. The British Parliament’s petitions website went down Thursday morning because of a surge in traffic.

      New Zealand to Ban Military-Style Semiautomatic Guns, Jacinda Ardern Says – The New York Times
      New Zealand to Ban Military-Style Semiautomatic Guns, Jacinda Ardern Says – The New York Times

      “I can assure people there is no point in applying for such a permit,” she said.

      The suspect in the shootings, Brenton H. Tarrant, 28, was a licensed gun owner and member of a local gun club. An official with one gun retailer said his company had sold Mr. Tarrant four firearms along with ammunition between December 2017 — a month after Mr. Tarrant received his gun license — and March 2018.

      But officials still do not know the source of a semiautomatic rifle that can be seen in a video of the attack on Al Noor Mosque, one of the two mosques the gunman targeted. The authorities say that five guns acquired legally, including two semiautomatic assault weapons, were used in the assault.

      On Wednesday, the authorities said that when the suspect was arrested, he had two weapons with him along with explosives and that he was planning to continue his attack.

      His efforts were optimized for internet fame and to broadcast a message of white supremacy. Minutes before the attacks started, he published a manifesto to message boards where white supremacists gather, and included a link to the page where the streaming video of the shooting would appear.

      In addition to gun policy, Ms. Ardern has been arguing nearly every day since the attacks that there is a need for the world’s most powerful tech platforms to take responsibility for spreading messages of hate that lead to violence.

      Leaders in many countries, she said, need to be united in making clear that with profit comes responsibility.

      “There are some things we need to confront collectively as leaders internationally,” she said at a news conference in Christchurch on Wednesday. “We cannot, for instance, allow some of the challenges we face with social media to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.”

      Ethiopian Airlines pilot of doomed flight didn’t take training on 737 MAX simulator: report – Fox News
      Ethiopian Airlines pilot of doomed flight didn’t take training on 737 MAX simulator: report – Fox News

      Report: Pilots on doomed Lion Air flight did not know how to disable malfunctioning computer system

      Pilots of the Lion Air Boeing 737 Max flight that crashed in Indonesia reportedly can be heard on flight recorders referencing emergency manuals; Trace Gallagher reports.

      The captain of the doomed Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 never received updated training on a Boeing 737 Max 8 simulator, even though the airline had the technology available since January, according to a report.

      The flight crashed earlier this month shortly after takeoff from an airport near Ethiopia’s capital city, killing all 157 people aboard.

      Ethiopian Airlines was ahead of its competitors in implementing the simulator to train would-be pilots of the new plane, according to reports. Yared Getachew, co-pilot of Flight 302, had taken a course on another simulator as recently as October, but not one specifically designated for the Max 8, The New York Times reported, citing someone familiar with Ethiopian Airlines.

      The source told the Times that Getachew was not due for another training until after the crash.

      HERO ‘MIRACLE ON THE HUDSON’ PILOT BLASTS ‘ABSURD’ LACK OF TRAINING IN WAKE OF FATAL ETHIOPIAN AIRLINES CRASH

      U.S.-based manufacturer Boeing, which is now under heightened scrutiny around the world, has said previously pilots who have flown earlier models didn’t need additional training. It wasn’t immediately clear what level of training Getachew’s co-pilot had received nor if the additional simulator training would’ve prevented the fatal crash.

      A subsequent investigation has determined that Flight 302, much like Indonesia’s Lion Air flight, which crashed in October, likely failed after its automated “anti-stall” system inadvertently pushed the plane’s nose downward. A cockpit recording indicates that the pilots weren’t able to fix the problem. U.S. officials are probing why pilot manuals did not address the feature, Reuters reported.

      After the March 10 crash in Ethiopia, countries around the world grounded 737 Max 8 and 9 jets amid internal investigations. European and Canadian regulators this week said this week that they want to do more than simply take the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s word that alterations to a key flight-control system will make the 737 Max safer. Those reviews scramble an ambitious schedule set by Boeing and could undercut the FAA’s reputation around the world.

      The FAA published a notification to its counterparts in other countries on Wednesday that Boeing is hoping to have ready by Monday an updated software of the aircraft. The agency said it expects to certify Boeing’s modifications and plans for pilot training in April or May, according to someone briefed on FAA presentations to congressional committees.

      In a statement cited by the Times, a Senate subcommittee on aviation and space said it will hold a hearing next week to “examine challenges to the state of commercial aviation safety, including any specific concerns highlighted by recent accidents.”

      (CNN)Donald Trump, the President who refused to release his tax returns, just made an unexpected gesture towards transparency, saying he’d be happy for Americans to see Robert Mueller’s final report.

        Can Trump Win Again in 2020? – RealClearPolitics
        Can Trump Win Again in 2020? – RealClearPolitics

        In 2016, Donald Trump overwhelmed 16 qualified Republican primary rivals and became the first major-party presidential nominee without prior political or military experience. Against even greater odds, Trump defeated in the general election a far better funded and politically connected Hillary Clinton.

        What are his chances of repeating that surprising victory in 2020?

        In 2016, Trump had no record to run on. That blank slate fueled claims that such a political novice could not possibly succeed. It also added an element of mystery and excitement, with the possibility that an outsider could come into town to clean up the mess.

        Trump now has a record, not just promises. Of course, his base supporters and furious opponents have widely different views of the Trump economy and foreign policy.

        Yet many independents will see successes since 2017, even if some are turned off by Trump’s tweets. Still, if things at home and abroad stay about the same or improve, without a war or recession, Trump will likely win enough swing states to repeat his 2016 Electoral College victory.

        If, however, unemployment spikes, inflation returns or we get into a war, he may not.

        At about the same time in their respective presidencies, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama had approval ratings similar to Trump’s. In Clinton’s first midterms, Democrats lost 14 more House seats than Republicans lost last November. Democrats under Obama lost 23 more seats in his first midterms than Republicans lost under Trump. Democrats lost eight Senate seats in 1994 during Clinton’s first term. They lost six Senate seats in 2010 during Obama’s first term. Republicans actually picked up two Senate seats last fall.

        Yet Clinton and Obama handily won re-election over, respectively, Bob Dole and Mitt Romney. In other words, the 2020 election is likely Trump’s to win or lose.

        It’s also worth remembering that Trump does not exist in a vacuum. In 2016, many voters preferred Trump because he was not the unpopular Hillary Clinton.

        In 2020, there will be an even starker choice. Trump, now an incumbent, will likely run on the premise that he is the only thing standing between voters and socialism.

        The power of that warning will depend on whether the Democrats continue their present hard-left trajectory or the eventual Democratic nominee manages to avoid getting tagged with what are as of now extreme progressive talking points.

        The Green New Deal, a wealth tax, a top marginal income tax rate of 70 percent, the abolition of ICE, the abolition of the Electoral College, reparations, legal infanticide as abortion, the cancellation of student debt, free college tuition, Medicare for all and the banning of private insurance plans are not winning, 51 percent issues.

        If the Democratic nominee embraces most of these fringe advocacies — or is forced by the hard left to run on some of them — he or she will lose. If the Democrats nominate Sen. Kamala Harris, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Bernie Sanders or Sen. Cory Booker, Trump will seem moderate by comparison and have more relative experience at both presidential campaigning and governance.

        Also, with a few notable exceptions such as John F. Kennedy and Barack Obama, senators do not have a good record of winning the presidency.

        If the Democrats nominate a veteran politician such as former Vice President Joe Biden, then the two rivals will be more equally matched in appealing to the middle classes.

        Another thing to consider: What will the Mueller investigation and a flurry of House investigations of Trump look like by November 2020?

        If special counsel Robert Mueller concludes that there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, then Trump’s charges of a “witch hunt” will more than likely stick. But if Mueller’s investigation proves that Trump negotiated with the Russians to stop the Clinton campaign, Trump will be in considerable trouble.

        At some point, all the progressive obsessions to abort the Trump administration — the efforts to warp the voting of the Electoral College electors; to invoke the 25th Amendment, the Logan Act and the emoluments clause; and to thwart Trump from the inside, as former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and the anonymous New York Times editorialist have detailed — have to show results.

        If they do not by 2020, then these attempts will be seen more as bitter-end vendettas. And they may work in Trump’s favor, making him appear a victim of an unprecedented and extraconstitutional assault. Then, in Nietzschean terms, anything that did not end Trump will only have made him stronger.

        Finally, Trump himself is not static.

        For a while, relative calm has returned to the White House. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, national security adviser John Bolton and Attorney General William Barr are more in sync with Trump’s style and message than the previous holders of those positions.

        Trump himself often displays more self-deprecation. Like other incumbents, Trump may be becoming savvier about the complexities of the job.

        Democrats think 2020 will be an easy win over a controversial and often wounded president. Republicans thought the same thing in 2012.
