[Cleaning up the FUE-related off-topic comments was a chore.  Please try not to rile the gentleman with ad hominems relating to his appearance, education, career, etc – there is enough topic matter to highlight re his editorial policy, political ideology, and morality lectures to fill volumes.  And I propose that even these would be better suited for other blogs.  However, I do appreciate that RR sandboxes may be the only venues-of-response available to those readers who are gratuitously impugned on the FUE's website, since there he does not permit such reciprocity.  But do try to keep it to a dull roar on matters of substance, and eschew delving into comparative cosmetics, character, and morals.  Much grass.  gjr]

    1:46 a.m. — A caller from the back of the Nevada Theather on Broad Streey reported five different people on the property, three of them in the bushes by the driveway. The caller also said he smoked three bowls of marijuana in two hours. The caller was advised to go to bed or jail.

    “The country — we took it over and owed over 20 trillion. As you know the last eight years, they borrowed more than it did in the whole history of our country. So they borrowed more than $10 trillion, right? And yet, we picked up 5.2 trillion just in the stock market.
    Possibly picked up the whole thing in terms of the first nine months, in terms of value. So you could say, in one sense, we’re really increasing values. And maybe in a sense we’re reducing debt. But we’re very honored by it. And we’re very, very happy with what’s happening on Wall Street.” – Dear Leader 2017

    Crazy like a fox. Trump just stuck it to the LIBS. NO more (illegal)funding for “O” care. Covered Ca. will go tits up.(as it should)
    It’s going to be a fun weekend listening to the Left piss and moan and shout ” WE ARE GOING TO SUE!!!!!”
    Trump gets out of bed, the Left wants to sue. Trump wants to keep America safe,, the Left wants to sue.

    Yep, that Trump is something else. He’s the guy you want to be in the foxhole with.
    From Pat B.
    “Trump’s proclamation closed a week in which he rolled back the Obamacare mandate requiring employers and institutions, against their religious beliefs, to provide contraceptives and abortion-inducing pills to employees.
    Religious groups cheered. The ACLU fumed. The in-your-face defiance of the dictates of political correctness has solidified Trump’s base behind him.
    And Americans are coming to accept our new reality: On the essentials of nationhood — ancestry, morality, faith, culture, history, heroes — we really are no longer one nation and one people.

    re bunbun 952am – Oh my, “climate change wind proof 100 year old technology called power lines” – now there’s an interesting connection colloquially known as a ‘reach’. The whole country still has above ground power transmission lines run by local utilities that have come down in every storm of any size for generations way before the climate hysteria started. But then as RahmE said,’It’s a shame to waste any disaster …’ to promote your political agenda.
    And comparing Puerto Rico’s decades of infrastructure ‘deferred maintenance’ with what we have in the continental US is beyond a stretch, and a dead giveaway as to what are the Left’s best arguments.

    Gentlemen – re the transfer of Ocare’s disaster to the Republicans, our liberal readers have a point. Tying all things wrong with US healthcare to capitalism and conservative thought, going forward AND backward through Ocare, is a political given for the foreseeable future. And for our socialists this task is made immensely easier by the mini-minded Millennials and their burgeoning progeny (the so-called iGeners). I invite this discussion to continue under ‘More on Millennials’ Mini-Minds’ where it really belongs.

    Some reasons why the electricity in Puerto Rico is not working
    The Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) declined to ask for help from mainland electric utilities in the days after Hurricane Maria, instead turning to a small Montana-based contractor to carry out grid restoration practices.
    Earlier this week, PREPA CEO Ricardo Ramos told E&E News that his bankrupt utility did not reach out to munis on the continental U.S. because he was unsure it could pay them back for assistance. About 90% of the island remains without power weeks after the storm hit.
    The American Public Power Association (APPA), the trade group for U.S. munis, confirmed that mutual assistance programs were not activated, but said PREPA had already contracted with Whitefish Energy by the time the trade group convened a conference call to coordinate aid. PREPA did not respond to requests for comment.

    And now, for your reading pleasure, one of Bunghole’s favorite topics, second only to Harvey Weinstein stories.
    Rich Lowry: How the NFL lost to Trump.
    “It’d obviously be better if a president of the United States weren’t waging war on a major sports league. Trump’s intervention has been inflammatory from the beginning. He shouldn’t have called protesting players “sons of bitches” and mused about firing them like the loudest guy down at the end of the bar.
    The very outrageousness of Trump’s initial riff, though, served his purposes. Trump’s lurid overstatement acted as a neon advertisement for his commonsensical underlying point, namely that players should stand during the national anthem. And it baited the NFL into fighting him on indefensible ground.
    There were all sorts of unobjectionable means available for players to defy Trump, but they allowed themselves to, in effect, get double-dared into disrespecting the flag.
    The perils here should have been obvious. David Frum, an incisive and unrelenting anti-Trump voice, wrote a piece for The Atlantic at the outset of the controversy, urging players not to cede the flag to Trump. They went ahead and ceded the flag to Trump. Why?
    It was, in part, a classic bubble phenomenon. Sports journalists are, if anything, more left than political journalists. They were excited about being at the center of a national political debate and sticking it to Trump. Much of the media piled right behind them. On CNN and MSNBC it was rare to hear a commentator say a discouraging word about the protests, let alone warn that the NFL was stumbling into Trump’s political kill box.
    https://patriotpost.us/opinion/51842
    Bottomline: Trump assumes the status of Nationalist Clture Warrior.
    Bottomline #2:

    Oh NO! Trump selects climate change skeptic as top adviser
    President Trump has nominated a former top Texas environmental regulator, who has argued that carbon dioxide is a harmless gas that should not be regulated, to be the White House senior adviser on environmental policy.
    The former regulator, Kathleen Hartnett White, will lead the Council on Environmental Quality if confirmed by the Senate. Currently she serves as a senior fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, a free-market think tank. She previously served as the chairwoman of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality under Rick Perry, who was governor at the time and is now the Energy Secretary.
    “Throughout her career, Kathleen has served Texans as a strong leader, in particular by ensuring that Texans have the energy and natural resources they need to prosper,” Brooke Rollins, president of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, said in a statement.

    The Sierra Club is going postal over this nomination, it must be good for the economy!
