Women’s March 2019: anti-Semitism concerns leave the future in doubt – Vox
Women’s March 2019: anti-Semitism concerns leave the future in doubt – Vox

On Saturday, women and their allies will take to the streets in cities around the world for the third annual Women’s March.

But this year, the leaders of Women’s March Inc. — one of the organizations that grew out of the original march, and the most visible public face of the march today — are facing calls to step down. The reasons include criticisms of their association with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and allegations that they made anti-Semitic remarks in planning meetings.

Women’s March Inc. is a national organization led by four activists from New York City — Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour, Carmen Perez, and Bob Bland — who helped organize the first march in Washington, DC, in 2017. The group also has local chapters that are planning marches in cities around the country this year, though other local marches are not affiliated with Women’s March Inc.

The controversy has contributed to the cancellation of at least one city march, and a number of progressive groups, including the Southern Poverty Law Center, have dropped their partnerships with the Women’s March, according to the Jewish News Syndicate.

Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee appears to have been removed from a list of partners on the Women’s March website.

Women’s March Inc. co-chairs Tamika Mallory and Bob Bland denied allegations of anti-Semitism in an appearance on The View on Monday. Asked by co-host Meghan McCain why she would publicly associate with Farrakhan, given his anti-Semitic remarks, Mallory said, “I don’t agree with many of Minister Farrakhan’s statements.”

“Do you condemn them?” McCain asked.

“I don’t agree with these statements,” Mallory reiterated.

She also resisted calls to step down. “I am willing to lead until my term at Women’s March is up,” she said.

“Women’s March exists to fight all forms of oppression and bigotry, including anti-Semitism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, racism, white supremacy, ableism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, classism, and ageism,” Women’s March Inc. said in a statement to Vox, in response to a question about groups dropping partnerships. “That work continues with the release of our Women’s Agenda and lobby day this week in Washington, and our anniversary Marches happening all over the country this Saturday.”

No matter what happens at those marches, the influence of the Women’s March on American feminism — and on the left more broadly — is undeniable. And a groundswell of women’s activism in the wake of the 2016 election has led to an unprecedented number of women in the halls of political power; earlier this month, a record 117 women were sworn into Congress.

The future of Women’s March Inc., and of women’s marches around the country, may be in doubt. But the impact of the Women’s March as a broader movement on American politics endures.

The controversies have caused some to distance themselves from the Women’s March

Women’s March Inc. is no stranger to controversy, having weathered debates over representation of women of color and the inclusion (or exclusion) of a variety of groups from its official platform. But criticism of the group intensified in March 2018 when Mallory attended a Nation of Islam event at which Farrakhan made anti-Semitic remarks. In November, as controversy grew over the issue, Teresa Shook, whose 2016 Facebook post kicked off the first march, called on Mallory and the other co-chairs of Women’s March Inc. to step down.

Then in December, Leah McSweeney and Jacob Siegel at Tablet reported that, according to others involved in planning the march, Mallory and fellow Women’s March Inc. co-chair Carmen Perez had made anti-Semitic comments themselves. At a meeting to plan the first Women’s March, Mallory and Perez “asserted that Jewish people bore a special collective responsibility as exploiters of black and brown people,” sources told Tablet.

Mallory and the Women’s March have denied these allegations. But the Tablet report, as well as Mallory’s association with Farrakhan, has led some groups to drop their affiliation with Women’s March Inc.

In December, the Washington state chapter of the Women’s March announced that it would disband and affiliate with a different progressive group, Smart Politics. Organizers in Spokane, Washington, still plan to hold a march.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, organizers of the New Orleans Women’s March announced they were canceling this Saturday’s event.

“Many of the sister marches have asked the leaders of Women’s March Inc. to resign but as of today, they have yet to do so,” said the National Organization for Women’s Baton Rouge chapter, which organized the New Orleans march. “The controversy is dampening efforts of sister marches to fundraise, enlist involvement, [and] find sponsors, and attendee numbers have drastically declined this year. New Orleans is no exception.”

A number of progressive organizations, from the SPLC to Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense, have dropped their affiliations with Women’s March Inc. over concerns about anti-Semitism, according to the Jewish News Syndicate.

“Moms Demand Action isn’t an official sponsor of the Women’s March, but plenty of chapters have chosen to participate in the locally organized events,” Taylor Maxwell, a spokesperson for Moms Demand Action, told Vox. The SPLC has not responded to Vox’s request for comment.

The DNC, once listed as a march sponsor on the Women’s March Inc. website, no longer appears there, according to CNN.

“The DNC stands in solidarity with all those fighting for women’s rights and holding the Trump administration and Republican lawmakers across the country accountable,” said DNC deputy communications director Sabrina Singh in a statement to Vox. “Women are on the front lines of fighting back against this administration and are the core of our Democratic Party.”

Asked if the relationship between the DNC and the Women’s March had changed from last year to this year, a DNC official declined to comment further.

Women’s activism today is about more than marches

Women’s March Inc. has been working to repair relationships with the Jewish community. According to the Washington Post, since anti-Semitism charges were first leveled at the organization, it has added three Jewish women to its steering committee and updated its platform to include a message of support for Jewish women.

It remains to be seen whether this will be enough to convince those concerned about the anti-Semitism allegations to turn out to march on Saturday. Sociology professor Dana R. Fisher, who studies protest movements, told the Post that turnout in Washington, DC, will probably number in the tens of thousands, far fewer than the estimated 470,000 people who attended the first Women’s March following the inauguration of President Trump in 2017.

But those who marched in 2017 may also be engaging in other forms of activism. Instead of a march on Saturday, Women’s March Chicago has organized Operation Activation, which encourages women and their allies to participate in community actions like neighborhood cleanups and postcard-writing campaigns advocating for progressive legislation. The decision to hold a day of action instead of a march wasn’t inspired by controversy around Women’s March Inc., according to a Women’s March Chicago fact sheet provided to Vox. Rather, the Chicago group chose to hold a march in October 2018 to mobilize voters for the midterm elections, and decided not to host two marches back to back. The group plans to march again in 2020.

And in addition to the march on Saturday, Women’s March Inc. is releasing a federal policy platform called the Women’s Agenda and organizing a day of lobbying on Capitol Hill on Friday in support of Medicare-for-all.

Through their platform, their marches, and their Women’s Convention in October 2017 in Detroit, the Women’s March organizers changed the mainstream conversation around feminism and left-wing politics in America, prompting a wider swath of women than ever before to think about women’s rights as part of a larger set of civil rights, including racial and economic justice.

That conversation will no doubt continue at marches on Saturday. But it will also continue at community actions and other events throughout the year — and in the halls of Congress, where more women than ever before now have the opportunity to craft legislation that affects all Americans.

Whatever happens in the streets on Saturday, the legacy of the women who marched all over the world in 2017 will persist for a long time to come.

Recession is the number one fear for CEOs in 2019, survey says – CNBC
Recession is the number one fear for CEOs in 2019, survey says – CNBC

Davos – World Economic Forum


As the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos approaches, a new survey of over 800 CEOs has revealed that global business leaders see recession as their number one external concern for 2019.

Threats to global trade and political instability ranked second and third, respectively, according to the survey Thursday by the research group The Conference Board.

The recession risk was touted as the number one concern in Japan, China and Latin America but was only placed third by American executives. In the U.S. threats to cybersecurity was listed as the source of greatest unease with new competitors second.

Trade barriers between the U.S. and China have created fears that a full-blown trade war could derail economies around the world. However, among the C-suite executives questioned in China, trade troubles ranked second while in the United States it came as low as fourth.

The picture for internal business concerns was much clearer among CEOs around the world, with all regions ranking the attraction and retention of talent as their number one concern.

“As global competition increases while the pool of available workers decreases, it comes as no surprise that executives cited talent as a top issue in 2019 that’s keeping them up at night,” said Rebecca Ray, a report author and the executive vice president of human capital at The Conference Board.

There was also a strong consensus among CEOs that disruptive new technologies could upset their existing business models and markets.

China’s bosses stood out in the internal concerns category, by revealing fear over how to align compensation with business performance as wage pressures in the country increase.

In addition to gauging concerns for 2019, the survey also asked CEOs and other C-Suite executives about what they think the organization of the future will look like and how their own will perform.

American CEOs expressed the highest confidence level in their culture of any region globally while Chinese counterparts were most confident about their leaders and talent.

Next week, business and political leaders descend on Davos in Switzerland to attend the annual World Economic Forum.

A WEF report this week, called the Global Risks Report 2019, suggested that an increased risk of political confrontations between major powers will prevent business and governments from tackling pressing problems such as climate change or cyberattacks.

WEF surveyed around 1,000 experts and decision-makers with 90 percent saying they expected further economic confrontation between major powers. Almost the same percentage said they expected further weakening of multilateral trading rules.

The State Department on Thursday ordered employees to return to work next week, despite the partial government shutdown, saying it would figure out how to cover the next paycheck.

In a note posted on its website and emailed to staff, the department said it “is taking steps to make additional funds available to pay employee salaries.”

If the shutdown continues beyond the next pay period, State Department officials say they will have to work with Congress to reprogram funds in order to cover salaries.

The partial shutdown that began Dec. 22 caused the furloughs of 23 percent of State Department employees overseas and 40 percent of the domestic employees. Overall, there are 75,000 employees of the State Department, including nearly 50,000 local hires, most of whom are covered by local labor laws and have been receiving pay. Consular services have remained open, funded by passport and visa fees.

Employees will have to wait for the shutdown to end to get paid for the time they worked during the shutdown or were on furlough.

The statement said the department’s leadership has been “deeply concerned about the growing financial hardship and uncertainty affecting Department employees.”

“While the Department has done its best to address matters essential to achieving U.S. national security and foreign policy objectives during the ongoing lapse, it has become clear as the lapse has continued to historic lengths that we need our full team to address the myriad critical issues requiring U.S. leadership around the globe,” according to the announcement.

During a recent weeklong swing through the Middle East, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters that morale was good despite the shutdown. And he went ahead and summoned all U.S. ambassadors back to Washington this week for a previously scheduled conference held Wednesday and Thursday.

That raised eyebrows among many foreign service officers, as did the inclusion of Susan Pompeo, the secretary’s wife, on the Middle East swing. During their travels, he defended her as a “force multiplier.” Others critical of her attendance on the trip noted the extra expense and staff required to support her and her activities.

During the shutdown, foreign service officers have had to embrace unusual cost-cutting measures in order to keep their missions afloat, according to emails seen by NPR.

One embassy in Europe was instructed to conserve heat and water because because there was no money in the budget to pay utility bills. Workers at a consulate in South America had to pay for their own gas for visits to Americans held in local jails and prisons. Several emails talked about foreign service officers paying local staff with their own money. All officers asked that their embassies not be identified and that their names not be published for fear of retribution.

“It’s getting more and more difficult to cover all the bases and figure out how to keep the lights on,” said Barbara Stephenson, a diplomat and president of the American Foreign Service Association. “It’s a huge drain on time and it has an organizational impact.”

Diplomats at one embassy in Africa told Stephenson the local community wanted to start a Go Fund Me campaign when they heard about the furloughs to help out. That sort of thing hurts the image of the U.S. and its diplomats, she said.

“If you’ve got a group of people whose job it is to project American global leadership and competence, and the fact that we’re the can-do problem-solving country in the world having an online Go Fund Me campaign, that really … is not the image you want to project,” she said.

A Favorite Restaurant in Syria Led ISIS to Americans – The New York Times
A Favorite Restaurant in Syria Led ISIS to Americans – The New York Times

On Wednesday, one such patrol dropped in for a late lunch. Cars were double-parked in front of the restaurant and the sidewalks were full of people visiting the nearby vegetable market, according to residents and surveillance footage posted online.

A suicide bomber mixed into the crowd and detonated his explosive vest near the restaurant entrance. A fireball erupted in front of the restaurant, yanking down its sign, toppling the rotisserie and leaving the dead and wounded scattered in the street, according to witnesses and videos posted online.

“We saw civilians on the ground, kids, soldiers, fire still blazing in the shop,” Ahmed Himo, a local journalist, said by phone on Thursday. “It was a terrible scene.”

Ahmad Sulaiman, 12, was passing the restaurant on the way to his grandfather’s house when the blast happened.

“When I passed, there was the man who makes the shawarma sandwiches,” Ahmad said while being treated for leg injuries in a hospital. “Then fire flashed and disappeared and the man was no longer there.”

While rescue workers rushed the wounded to the hospital, three helicopters appeared in the sky, Mr. Himo said. One tried to land in the street but it was too narrow, so it landed on a soccer field nearby. The dead and wounded Americans were taken there and flown away.

On Friday the Pentagon identified three of the Americans who were killed as Chief Warrant Officer Jonathan R. Farmer, 37, of Boynton Beach, Fla., a Special Forces soldier, or Green Beret; Chief Cryptologic Technician Shannon M. Kent, 35, of New York State, who was in the Navy; and Scott A. Wirtz, a Defense Intelligence Agency civilian employee, of St. Louis, Mo.

Trump’s tariff war is all self-inflicted pain, and likely no gain – Washington Examiner
Trump’s tariff war is all self-inflicted pain, and likely no gain – Washington Examiner

The chairman of President Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers, Kevin Hassett, recently proclaimed that “there are a heck of a lot of U.S. companies” that will suffer and watch “their earnings being downgraded,” as the U.S.-China trade dispute slogs on.

He’s right. Tariffs are a direct threat to American families, workers and companies, hindering economic growth and slowing hiring.

But the administration’s assertion that this self-inflicted pain will lead to long-term gain is unfounded. As stock prices tumble and investor confidence erodes, the administration should not ignore warnings of tariffs’ increasingly negative impact on American businesses of all sizes and across sectors.

The turmoil that tariffs are imposing on America’s economy is not simply a minor inconvenience. Calls from tech to agriculture to retail to manufacturing underscore the systemic and potentially irreversible damage this misguided trade strategy is wreaking on American companies and, ultimately, consumers.

Manufacturers spend decades forging contracts with their suppliers and other producers to build product components around the world. Discovering new sources, vetting the competency of new suppliers, and waiting for new manufacturing capacity to come online requires a significant investment of time and money – an investment that will erase the benefits businesses and consumers currently enjoy from existing U.S. supply chains, which are quite cost-effective.

Higher costs imposed by tariffs and potential re-routing of supply chains force businesses to rethink future spending, reduce new investments and slow hiring levels. The diversion of resources to pay tariffs also means fewer dollars for research and development, stifling breakthroughs in new product design, deployment and cutting-edge innovations — just as the U.S. government turns its attention to ensuring America retains its innovative edge in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing.

Consumers are also shouldering the burden with increased costs on everyday products, including technology devices such as routers, modems, e-readers, and headphones. While tech companies manufacture products across the United States, many of these products require components from China that can’t be obtained domestically or from other markets. As a result, these products are subject to tariffs, driving up costs for American consumers. A recent estimate found that Americans will pay an additional $3.2 billion this year alone for technology products because of the tariffs. And it’s not just tech. Tariffs have cost Americans more for other everyday goods, including groceries, baby products, pet food, and home appliances. American families should not continue to suffer on the false hope that the administration’s strategy will produce positive results.

Combined, these factors not only hurt consumers and businesses individually but also the growth of the U.S. economy and its ability to remain a leader in innovation.

Many sectors, including technology, appreciate the administration’s desires to crack down on China’s unfair trade practices and to seek open access to its market. These are serious issues that threaten America’s continued growth. However, tariffs are inflicting pain on U.S. consumers and businesses, creating new problems in supply chains without directly addressing China’s bad behavior. And the impact of tariffs on U.S. businesses, consumers and jobs will not be easily undone. New research shows that U.S. exports in categories subject to retaliatory tariffs dropped at least 37 percent in October 2018; once American companies lose market share, it’s exceedingly hard to regain those global customers.

As officials from China and the United States continue to negotiate, we urge the Trump administration to listen to American businesses and consumers and find a long-term solution that mobilizes an international coalition to address China’s unfair trade policies, eases the heightening trade tensions, and ends the tariffs that continue to inflict harm on the U.S. economy and American people.

Jonathan “Josh” Kallmer is the Executive Vice President of Policy for the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI).

Democrats demand investigation after report that Trump ordered Michael Cohen to lie to Congress – The Washington Post
Democrats demand investigation after report that Trump ordered Michael Cohen to lie to Congress – The Washington Post

Tim Elfrink

January 18 at 12:12 AM

Democratic leaders reacted with fury and demanded an investigation late Thursday following a new report that President Trump personally directed his former attorney, Michael Cohen, to lie to Congress about the president’s push for a lucrative condo project in Moscow in the lead-up to the 2016 election.

The Thursday night report from BuzzFeed News cites two unnamed federal law enforcement officials who say Cohen acknowledged in interviews with the office of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III that the president directed him to deceive Congress about key facts linking Trump to the proposed deal in Russia. Cohen pleaded guilty in November to lying under oath about those details.

Democrats said that if the report is accurate, Trump must quickly be held to account for his role in the perjury, with some raising the specter of impeachment.

“The allegation that the President of the United States may have suborned perjury before our committee in an effort to curtail the investigation and cover up his business dealings with Russia is among the most serious to date,” wrote Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. “We will do what’s necessary to find out if it’s true.”

“If the @Buzzfeed story is true, President Trump must resign or be impeached,” tweeted Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Tex.), a member of the House Intelligence Committee.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on BuzzFeed’s report. Lanny Davis, Cohen’s adviser, issued a statement to MSNBC’s Katy Tur saying that “Out of respect for Mr. Mueller’s and the Office of Special Counsel’s investigation, Mr. Cohen declined to respond to the questions asked by the reporters and so do I.”

Rudolph W. Giuliani, Trump’s attorney, responded to the report by saying, “If you believe Cohen I can get you a great deal on the Brooklyn Bridge.”

But BuzzFeed says that Mueller’s office has more evidence than just Cohen’s testimony that Trump directed him to lie to Congress. Per the report, Cohen’s testimony is backed up by “interviews with multiple witnesses from the Trump Organization and internal company emails, text messages, and a cache of other documents.”

In November, Cohen admitted he’d falsely told Congress that Trump’s efforts to build a condo tower in Moscow ended in January 2016, when, in reality, those efforts continued through that June. As Mueller noted, Cohen’s testimony was an attempt to “minimize links between the Moscow Project and Individual 1,” which is how Trump is referred to in the report. Trump had repeatedly insisted on the campaign trail that he had no ongoing business interests in Russia, even as the deal continued to unfold.

In court documents, Cohen admitted that he’d briefed Trump on his ongoing negotiations with Russian officials about the proposed deal and said that he’d consulted with Trump’s team before his false testimony before Congress. But he never said in those documents that Trump himself played any role in encouraging his false testimony.

According to BuzzFeed, Mueller’s team now has evidence that Trump did just that. Democratic leaders promised a quick probe into whether Trump, in fact, did direct Cohen to lie.

“I mean everything feels like a bombshell and we are all numb but I’m pretty sure if this story is true it’s – I’m going to be careful with my words here – something that congress must investigate thoroughly,” tweeted Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii).

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) tweeted, “Listen, if Mueller does have multiple sources confirming Trump directed Cohen to lie to Congress, then we need to know this ASAP. Mueller shouldn’t end his inquiry, but it’s about time for him to show Congress his cards before it’s too late for us to act.”

Added Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.): “This stunning Trump Tower Moscow story establishes a clear case of Obstruction of Justice, a felony. I’ve lost count now how many times @realDonaldTrump has engaged in Obstruction of Justice. Oh, fyi the first Article of Impeachment for Richard Nixon was Obstruction of Justice.”

Lieu later added in another tweet that “Based on the Buzzfeed report and numerous other articles showing @realDonaldTrump committed Obstruction of Justice and other possible felonies, it is time for the House Judiciary Committee to start holding hearings to establish a record of whether @POTUS committed high crimes.”

Drudge Report banner blares: ‘Did Trump bribe Drudge poll?’ – Washington Examiner
Drudge Report banner blares: ‘Did Trump bribe Drudge poll?’ – Washington Examiner

The Drudge Report used the banner on its website on Thursday to react to a report on how a poll the website conducted was rigged to be more in favor of President Trump.

“Did Trump bribe Drudge poll?” read the top headline, linking to the original report of the poll-rigging.

The Wall Street Journal report published earlier in the morning said that Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen paid John Gauger, who owns a small tech company, to manipulate online polls in Trump’s favor before his presidential campaign.

Cohen confirmed the story in a tweet Thursday morning, adding that he regrets his “blind loyalty” to Trump.

“What I did was at the direction of and for the sole benefit of Donald Trump. I truly regret my blind loyalty to a man who doesn’t deserve it,” Cohen posted to Twitter.

The article says that both Drudge Report, a popular conservative aggregation website, and CNBC polls were targeted by the RedFinch Solutions LLC efforts on behalf of Cohen and Trump.

The Drudge Report, run by the reclusive Matt Drudge, has not posted anything else as to whether it detected any sort of attempted influence on its poll and if the efforts were successful in influencing the outcome.

The CNBC online poll that was targeted by RedFinch and Cohen in January 2014 asked respondents to narrow down a list of 200 of the country’s top business leaders to 25. However, Trump did not even make the second round of polling, which narrowed the list down to 100 before naming the top 25 top business leaders in celebration of its 25th anniversary.

At the time, Trump expressed his dismay with the poll, claiming that he was actually taken off the list when the votes had him ranked as the ninth top business leader.

“The #CNBC 25 poll is a joke,” Trump tweeted back in 2014. “I was in 9th place and taken off. (Politics?) No wonder @CNBC ratings are going down the tubes.”

As Trump and Pelosi become ever more petulant, they both need to swallow a bitter shutdown pill – Washington Examiner
As Trump and Pelosi become ever more petulant, they both need to swallow a bitter shutdown pill – Washington Examiner

Americans have lived through government shutdowns before. There have been 21 shutdowns (including the present one) since 1976, most frequently during periods of divided government. Presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and now President Trump have all had to spend days (and in the case of Clinton and Obama, weeks) with the government closed while lawmakers and the White House staff negotiate.

Sometimes the shutdown is a minor blip, the result of partisan bickering over menial budgetary issues. Cool heads eventually prevail, and people go back to work.

Never, however, have we seen a government shutdown as ridiculous as the current impasse. Nobody wants to negotiate; in fact, getting a meeting between the president and several moderate House Democrats as the White House tried to do this week has been a chore. Washington is now dominated by base politics, with Trump highly resistant to caving on the $5.7 billion he has demanded for his precious border wall and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., equally unwilling to provide a dollar of additional money for a vanity project they blast as “immoral.”

So here we are, 27 days into the longest government shutdown in history, effectively at square one. If there are any talks even occurring at this point, lawmakers aren’t exactly optimistic about them.

The first four weeks have been terrible. But this week, we entered a whole new plane of absurdity.

It began on Wednesday, when Pelosi notified Trump in a brief letter that it may be best for him to postpone the State of the Union address for a later date — like when he decides to reopen the government. Trump “thinks it’s OK not to pay people who do work,” Pelosi remarked during a news conference on Thursday. “I don’t and my caucus doesn’t either.” The move was pure politics and grandstanding on the part of America’s most powerful Democratic lawmaker, a way to get under Trump’s thin skin and make congressional Democrats look like the responsible party.

Yet Trump doesn’t take punches without punching back. On Thursday, Trump issued his own letter to Pelosi telling her that the trip she was going to take to Belgium, Egypt, and Afghanistan will be canceled due to the government shutdown. “In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay,” the letter read, “I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate.” It was typical Trump: sarcastic, petulant, proudly confrontational, and red meat to his most committed supporters.

The country’s two most powerful politicians are now duking it out over scheduling issues. If you thought Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, reading Green Eggs and Ham on the Senate floor during the 2013 shutdown was a national embarrassment, the Trump-Pelosi cage match is so bone-chilling that it makes you want to find your passport and move to Canada.

Nobody wins when departments and agencies of the federal government run out of money and turn off the lights. While 800,000 federal employees are working without compensation and Transportation Security Administration employees are using their sick days, the public are wondering what about Washington turns the people they elect into such lunatics. Every day, the disconnect gets worse.

There is a common-sense solution on the table. Republicans and Democrats can pass a spending bill that pairs border wall money with permanent protections for illegal immigrant “Dreamers,” and Trump signs the bill into law, thereby reopening the government for the remainder of the fiscal year. A broader immigration debate will have to wait. This looks like the only way to end the standoff: Both sides need to swallow a bitter pill, act like adults, give the other political side a minor win, and recognize that they won’t get 100 percent of what they want.

Stop crying like kindergartners and canceling events, thinking that these tactics are something average people are impressed with. Deal with the business at hand before the public grow even more discombobulated with politics than they already are.

Winter storm will bring heavy snow across Northeast Ohio – News 5 Cleveland
Winter storm will bring heavy snow across Northeast Ohio – News 5 Cleveland

CLEVELAND — It’s finally here! After many days of computer prophecy, we now have a winter storm to track. Earlier Thursday, a small area of low pressure developed over the northern Rocky Mountains. This is what we’ve been waiting for! Its the humble beginning of our weekend winter storm.

Before today, every snowfall map posted on social media by amateur weather-ites has been literal fantasy. Monday’s computer-generated viral prediction of 34 inches of snow in Cleveland sent shockwaves through the interwebs. But, alas… that, too, was a hoax. Either that or something dreamed up by Sandra Bullock in a blindfold. Posting a computer model guidance snowfall prediction, five days before the storm, without the proper poop emoji attached, is always a meteorological No-No.

Watch my Facebook Live below discussing the winter storm.

The storm is finally, physically, on our weather map. Now we can look at it. Measure it. Stick 12 weather balloons down its low-level jet if we want to. All this info can now be fed into the computer models and the resulting guidance suddenly becomes better…more precise…more real.

We can now fine-tune our forecast a bit more:

1) Winter Storm WATCHES have been issued for ALL of northern Ohio for Saturday into Sunday. A WATCH doesn’t mean you get blasted, that’s what WARNINGS are for. A WATCH means it’s time to prepare.

2) Heavy snow is likely across parts of northern Ohio beginning Saturday morning. Peak snow intensity is likely to be from mid-afternoon Saturday through 2 or 3 am Sunday morning.

3) Snow will taper off quickly Sunday morning.

4) Snow totals of 4 to 8 inches will be common, with a few spots from near Canton to Youngstown seeing 8 to 12 inches by sunrise Sunday.

5) Winds make it worse! Wind gusts with the storm Saturday through Sunday will gust above 30 mph. This will result in low visibility on the roadways and lots of blowing and drifting snow! Wind chills will range between -10 and -25 Saturday night through Sunday.

6) Winds behind the storm will shift around to the north Sunday afternoon. Lake effect snow could give you a few more inches of snow Sunday night and Monday morning across the favored snow belt areas of northern Ohio.

7) Still time for the storm track to shift. Even the slightest shift in the storm’s path will change where the heavy snow will fall. There is also the potential for some sleet and freezing rain to mix in south of U.S. Route 30 Saturday afternoon. Any rain or sleet will cut down on snow totals in the end.

8) Time to make sure the car is gassed up and you have enough wine and cheese (and bread and milk) to get you through Saturday and Sunday. Stay connected

Trump cancels U.S. delegation to Davos economic forum – AOL
Trump cancels U.S. delegation to Davos economic forum – AOL

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has canceled his delegation’s trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, next week due to the partial U.S. government shutdown, according to a statement released by Press Secretary Sarah Sanders on Thursday.

Trump, who attended last year’s Davos event, had planned to go again this year but pulled out last week as he grapples with Democrats in Congress over funding for a wall on the border with Mexico that has led to a partial shutdown of the government.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were expected to lead the U.S. delegation in Trump’s place, two senior administration officials said this week.

“Out of consideration for the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay and to ensure his team can assist as needed, President Trump has canceled his delegation’s trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland,” Sanders’s statement said.

Mnuchin and Pompeo had planned to speak jointly to the opening session of the forum on Jan. 22. They were also expected to jointly host a dinner of the Group of Seven foreign and finance ministers to discuss national security and economic issues.

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer also planned to be part of the delegation.

Mike Pence calls criticism of wife’s job at anti-LGBTQ school ‘deeply offensive’ – NBCNews.com
Mike Pence calls criticism of wife’s job at anti-LGBTQ school ‘deeply offensive’ – NBCNews.com

Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday addressed news coverage and criticism regarding his wife’s decision to return to teaching at a Virginia elementary school that explicitly bars LGBTQ employees and students.

“My wife and I have been in the public eye for quite a while, we’re used to the criticism,” Pence said in an interview with EWTN, a cable network that offers “news from a Catholic perspective.” But, he added, “to see major news organizations attacking Christian education is deeply offensive to us.”

“We have a rich tradition in America of Christian education, and frankly religious education broadly defined,” he continued. “We’ll let the other critics roll off our back, but this criticism of Christian education in America should stop.”

National news outlets, including NBC News, reported Wednesday on the publicly available employment application and parent agreement of Immanuel Christian School in Springfield, Virginia, where Karen Pence is now teaching art twice a week.

The school’s employment application asks applicants to initial a passage stating that they will “live a personal life of moral purity.” The “moral misconduct” that disqualifies potential employees includes “heterosexual activity outside of marriage (e.g., premarital sex, cohabitation, extramarital sex), homosexual or lesbian sexual activity, polygamy, transgender identity, any other violation of the unique roles of male and female, sexual harassment, use or viewing of pornographic material or websites, and sexual abuse or improprieties toward minors as defined by Scripture and federal or state law.”

Virginia, like most states, has no statewide legislation explicitly prohibiting private employers from discriminating based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

A parent agreement posted on the school’s website states that Immanuel Christian School reserves the right to “refuse admission” or “discontinue enrollment” of a student if “the atmosphere or conduct within a particular home, the activities of a parent or guardian, or the activities of the student are counter to, or are in opposition to, the biblical lifestyle the school teaches.” The prohibited conduct and activities include “sexual immorality,” “homosexual activity or bi-sexual activity.”

The parent agreement cites Leviticus 20:13, a Bible passage that states, “If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.”

Karen Pence’s communications director on Wednesday said, “It’s absurd that her decision to teach art to children at a Christian school, and the school’s religious beliefs, are under attack.” Her office did not answer questions about her beliefs regarding employment discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity and whether she believes homosexual activity and transgender identity constitute “moral misconduct.”

Immanuel Christian School’s policies are not uncommon for an evangelical Christian institution, according to Dartmouth College religion professor Randall Balmer, who said the religious right has “elevated sexuality into a litmus test of one’s faith.” However, its policies are out-of-touch with most religious Americans.

Most religious groups in the U.S. support same-sex marriage, according to a 2017 report by the Public Religion Research Institute. The study found approximately two-thirds of white mainline Protestants (67 percent), white Catholics (66 percent), Orthodox Christians (66 percent) and Latino Catholics (65 percent) favor same-sex marriage, along with 77 percent of Jewish Americans, 80 percent of Buddhists and 75 percent of Hindus. Opposition to gay marriage, according to the report, “is now confined to a few of the most conservative Christian religious traditions,” including white evangelical Protestants. The study also found majorities of nearly every major religious group in the U.S. now support legal protections against discrimination for LGBTQ Americans.

MUST WATCH

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump was startled Tuesday as he watched television coverage of his nominee for attorney general describing a warm relationship with the special counsel Robert Mueller in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, according to three people familiar with the matter.

    CNN’s Alex Rogers contributed to this report.

McConnell should invite Trump to deliver the State of the Union in the Senate chamber – Washington Examiner
McConnell should invite Trump to deliver the State of the Union in the Senate chamber – Washington Examiner

It would be standing room only, and it would be historic. It is the smaller of the two chambers, and it has never hosted this kind of thing.

Otherwise it wouldn’t be all that different if the president delivered his State of the Union from the Senate chamber rather than the House of Representatives.

That is the reasoning of a handful of House Republicans, led by Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala. They are circulating a letter, strongly worded no doubt, calling on Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to host President Trump.

If Democrats don’t want to attend, they can make room for others. After all, it was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who tried canceling the address by citing nonexistent security concerns.

“Space limitations may restrict the number of Congressmen who may attend,” Brooks writes. “Inasmuch as House Democrats are responsible for the State of the Union not being timely held in the House chamber, I recommend that House Democrats be at the bottom of the priority list for attendance inasmuch as they are responsible for the lack of adequate space in the first instance.”

Though presidents have addressed the Senate directly in the past — notably a stuttering Woodrow Wilson, who tried and failed to cajole Republicans into ratifying the Treaty of Versailles and signing onto his League of Nations during a direct 1919 address — the conservative thing to do would be vote on the wall, end the shutdown, and let the State of the Union address proceed as regularly scheduled.

There is nothing in the Constitution that says a State of the Union must be delivered every year, or in a particular place. Democracies stumble along by trial and error, and here a change of pace and venue might be good. It certainly would be a classy way of responding to Pelosi’s provocation.

Pelosi has done her best to snub the president, giving McConnell an opportunity to extend a friendly and courteous invitation. Congress is bicameral for a reason, and the majority leader can host whomever he likes. If some politicians can’t find a seat, so be it. People will still watch — perhaps even more, in the circumstances.

Family Separation May Have Hit Thousands More Migrant Children Than Reported – The New York Times
Family Separation May Have Hit Thousands More Migrant Children Than Reported – The New York Times

“Thousands of children were separated from parents and guardians, referred to H.H.S. and released from H.H.S. care before the court order,” Ms. Maxwell said in a conference call with reporters.

“The total number is unknown,” she said. “It is certainly more than 2,737, but how many more, precisely, is unknown.” Moreover, that number may never be known: Department officials, she said, had told her office that there were “no efforts underway to identify that. It would take away resources from children already in care.”

In an email after the call, Ms. Maxwell’s spokesman confirmed that inspectors believed the number of separated children may be “thousands” more than the 2,737 reported to the court.

The inspectors provided no precise data to support that estimate, though Ms. Maxwell said that Health and Human Services had noted a “spike” in the frequency of children being separated from their families, from 0.3 percent of all apprehended families in 2016 to 3.8 percent in 2017.

Family separations have occurred for years, but they had previously been “fairly rare,” Ms. Maxwell said, occurring only in cases where there were concerns about child welfare. That changed in 2017, she said.

Ms. Maxwell said that most of the families on the list of separated families had been reunited, pursuant to the court order. But she said the figures continued to evolve, for several reasons. The absence of an integrated data system to track separated families through the two federal agencies that oversee them was one problem, she said.

Also complicating the issue, she said, was the complex problem of determining which children should be considered officially “separated” from their families. That meant that the list of families entitled to reunification was still being revised as late as December 2018, more than five months after the court order took effect.

Most of the military and vets agree with Trump: It’s time to bring the troops home – Washington Examiner
Most of the military and vets agree with Trump: It’s time to bring the troops home – Washington Examiner

When President Trump met with Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and other senators on Wednesday to discuss foreign policy, the president told the group that he planned to move forward with drawing down troops in Syria and Afghanistan, which he had originally announced before Christmas.

Paul, one of Trump’s strongest supporters of finally winding down America’s wars in both countries, tweeted after the meeting:

This prompted Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, to reply:

Crenshaw’s tweet was sent in the wake of four Americans being killed in Syria, two of them U.S. service members, in an attack claimed by the Islamic State.

While Crenshaw is certainly entitled to his opinion, particularly given his service and sacrifice as a member of the U.S. Navy, it appears that not all of his fellow military members and veterans agree with him.

In fact, most U.S. military members appear to agree with the president that the U.S. has been fighting these wars for too long.

While there is currently no data is available on Syria specifically, this month the Smithsonian conducted a poll asking military members both past and present if America’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have gone on for too long, surveying 109 active duty military personnel and 922 veterans.

Smithsonian Magazine noted that “as far as we know, this survey was the first one to pose that question to current and former service members.”

So, what did this apparently unprecedented, one-of-a-kind poll find?

The overwhelming majority of respondents, a whopping 84 percent, agreed that the “current occupation” of Iraq and Afghanistan “has been going on too long.” The same poll, however, revealed that 83 percent believed it was important to continue fighting the war on terror. Whether this meant continued troop deployment was not addressed.

However, a YouGov poll conducted in October revealed that 69 percent of veterans wanted to bring the troops home from Afghanistan. This is more than the 61 percent of nonmilitary Americans who also agree with troop withdrawal.

It would probably behoove us to pay more attention to the opinions of those who actually had to fight these wars.

In that vein, the YouGov poll also showed, “Just 22% of the Americans, and 24% of current and former service personnel, say the mission in Afghanistan has been successful.”

Again, maybe our soldiers know something the rest of us don’t?

Nor are these attitudes new. In 2011, when the U.S. war in Afghanistan was only a decade old, a Pew Research Center poll found that 1 in 3 veterans believed the Iraq and Afghanistan wars were a mistake.

Regarding Crenshaw’s insistence that “We go there so that they don’t come here. It’s that simple,” this same poll showed (emphasis mine), “ About half of post-9/11 veterans (51%) say relying too much on military force creates hatred that leads to more terrorism, while four-in-ten endorse the opposite view: that overwhelming force is the best way to defeat terrorism.” Similarly, there have been plenty of studies indicating that constant interventionism breeds as much, if not more, terrorism than it thwarts.

According to veterans and some experts, endless military intervention as a solution to terrorism is not as “simple” as Crenshaw says.

In addition to veterans’ attitudes, this month a Morning Consult/Politico poll showed that the majority of Americans overall agree with President Trump’s decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan and Syria.

“I really am proud of the president for making an argument that really no president in recent history has made and that is that we’ve been at war too long in too many places and he’s really going to make a difference,” Paul said after meeting with Trump at the White House on Wednesday.

Indeed. If he follows through on finally bringing home our troops, President Trump has a monumental opportunity to change U.S. foreign policy in a way that could not only make the country safer but is also more respectful of the sacrifice of those who serve.

It’s something most of America’s actual troops, today and yesterday, appear to want too.

State Dept. employees ordered back to work as Trump nixes Pelosi trip and Davos delegation, citing shutdown – The Washington Post
State Dept. employees ordered back to work as Trump nixes Pelosi trip and Davos delegation, citing shutdown – The Washington Post

The State Department ordered its employees to return to work next week, saying it has found money to cover a half month in salary, as the Trump administration continued to grapple with a federal shutdown that shows no sign of ending.

The unexpected yet temporary move came on a day when the White House and congressional Democrats halted even the pretense of negotiations. The political acrimony between President Trump and Democratic leaders reached new levels, worrying members of both parties that the chance of a near-term resolution has moved far out of reach.

Trump on Thursday sent Pelosi a letter informing her he was canceling her imminent flight to visit U.S. troops in Afghanistan. This came one day after Pelosi suggested that Trump postpone his State of the Union address or present it in written form.

In his letter to Pelosi announcing her canceled trip, Trump wrote that “it would be better if you were in Washington negotiating with me and joining the Strong Border Security movement to end the Shutdown.”

Facing his own questions about plans to send a delegation of top officials to Davos, Switzerland, next week for the World Economic Forum, Trump late Thursday announced he would scrap the trip “[o]ut of consideration for the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay.” Trump himself dropped out of the conference earlier this month but had planned to send top officials, including Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

The cancellations came as White House officials, federal employees, government agencies and thousands of businesses are struggling to adjust to a new dynamic: a politically paralyzed capital that lacks funding for some of its core operations. The flurry of polls that show Americans largely blame the White House for the shutdown has rattled Trump, people close to him said, leading him to closely monitor the fallout.

Senior White House officials receive frequent updates on how many Transportation Security Administration staffers are calling in sick to work, aware that major delays at airports could prompt a huge backlash.

To try to contain other fallout, thousands of federal workers are being rushed back to work, almost always without pay, to prevent the shutdown from having a cascading effect on the economy and the United States’ standing in the world.

But it’s unclear how long this piecemeal approach will work.

Sen. Robert Menendez (N.J.), the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, questioned the legal justification the State Department was using to rapidly reinstate its workforce four weeks after the agency effectively ran out of money.

“As we await further clarity on this new funding scheme, I have serious questions about its impact on our embassy security, our efforts to combat terrorism and other vital programs,” he said.

The political standoff is leading to turmoil throughout the federal government, in thousands of households and in pockets of the economy, prompting frantic calls from families and business groups looking for short-term assistance.

The TSA acknowledged Thursday that the lengthy shutdown had affected its employees’ ability to come to work, with many calling in sick. Federal employees are generally barred from going on strike, even if they aren’t being paid, which has caused many to raid their retirement accounts, accept free food, or sell possessions online as they look for ways to pay bills.

“Many employees are reporting that they are not able to report to work due to financial limitations,” the TSA said.

And some agencies have had to deal with small-scale rebellions among the employees they are requiring to continue showing up for work. These employees have recently refused to put any work-related travel expenses on their personal credit cards, unsure when they will be repaid. Other agencies are ordering employees to return to work, without pay, to minimize the shutdown’s impact on a variety of industries, including agriculture, ranching, logging, banking and fishing.

The White House and federal agencies have received a blizzard of requests for help from lawmakers and industry groups, and Trump has remarked that he thinks his senior staff and Cabinet members are doing a good job blunting the impact.

“People are very impressed with how well government is working with the circumstances that we’re under,” he said to surrogates in a call Tuesday afternoon. “We’re working very hard to make sure that happens.”

Many federal employees were sent home without pay once the shutdown began, because Congress did not authorize the payment of their salaries. There are rules, however, that allow agencies to retain some staff, without pay, during a shutdown. Those workers are traditionally seen as ones essential to protecting public safety or government property, but the Trump administration also has activated workers it views to be essential to carrying out core agency operations. The White House Office of Management and Budget has some legal flexibility to determine who is essential and who must stay home, though some have argued that the agency is going too far.

“There is no credible justification” for some of these decisions, said Charles Tiefer, a professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law and expert on government contracting. He said decisions to restart agency operations that had been closed to help farmers and energy-sector workers, for example, ran contrary to past government practice. “These are instances of the government working with some part of the private sector that is favored.”

White House officials, though, have argued that they are simply trying to minimize the impact of the shutdown on as many people as possible. They have reinstated Internal Revenue Service employees to help process millions of tax returns next month, and they have found a way to pay food-stamp benefits in the coming days as well.

“We are operating under duress in terms of trying to keep this government running,” a senior administration official called, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the operations.

Trump has not gotten involved in the minutiae of agency decisions but has told Russell Vought, acting director of the Office of Management and Budget, and others to do whatever they can to bring employees back to work so agency operations can continue, if legally possible.

Still, the moves by federal agencies have been uneven.

The Small Business Administration, a key liaison to thousands of U.S. companies, has stopped originating new loans, and many consumer protection entities have halted inspections.

And some agencies are resuming certain operations while keeping others closed.

At the Interior Department, bureaus have modified their contingency plans to sustain current and future mining, drilling and grazing operations on public land.

On Friday, the Bureau of Land Management changed its plan to allow for 19 percent of its 9,260-person workforce to continue on the job during the shutdown.

According to BLM officials, employees who are back on the job are working on activities including law enforcement, grazing activities and preparing for March lease sales that will take place in several Western states.

Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, for its part, has also brought back employees to avert any delays in its March auction for offshore oil and gas drilling.

Randall Luthi, president of the National Ocean Industries Association, praised the decision.

“The offshore energy industry generates billions of dollars for the U.S. and state treasuries, provides thousands of well-paying jobs in the U.S. and bolsters our national energy security,” he said in a statement.

But some Democrats and environmental groups attacked the decision as political and dangerous.

On Wednesday, House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) led a group of House Democrats in calling the assistance to the oil and gas industry “an outrageous step,” with a “farcical” justification in a letter to acting Interior secretary David Bernhardt.

“One of the most striking features” of the shutdown, the lawmakers wrote, “is the way the administration has bent over backwards to ensure that the pain of the shutdown falls only on ordinary Americans and the environment, and not on the oil and gas industry.”

On Wednesday, the Agriculture Department announced it would reopen Farm Service Agency offices in the coming days to help farmers process loans and prepare their tax returns. These offices had been closed since the shutdown began, but top agency officials were under pressure from farmers to reopen. Other parts of the agency remained shuttered, however.

In the past, agencies have had to deal with short-term shutdowns that lasted one week or two, but never anything of this magnitude. One reason they are looking to rework their contingency plans is because Trump has suggested this could continue for months or years.

Trump last month said he would not sign any bill funding government operations if it lacked $5.7 billion for the creation of walls and barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border. Democrats have rejected this demand, calling it ineffective and immoral.

During the 2016 campaign, Trump promised Mexico would pay for the wall, but since his inauguration he has insisted the project be financed with U.S. taxpayer money. Because Democrats control the House, Trump can’t pass a spending bill without their support. Last week he suggested he could get around their opposition by declaring a national emergency, but he has backed away from that threat in recent days.
