marcus is a motogp fan and if you look closely youll spot a couple of hrc logos on the bike in my dreams this bike would be hrcs version of a street tracker or maybe a gift to marc marquez so he can hit the streets after he wins the superprestigio in barcelona |
we reckon the pintsized phenomenon would have a ball on this machine and he probably wouldnt even miss the seat padding |

article ii section 4 of the constitution of the united states announces that the president vice president and all civil officers of the united states shall be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors ad policy |
the attorney general of the united states is a civil officer if he has lied under oath to the senate that act demands impeachment |
after news reports published last wednesday made it clear that jefferson beauregard sessions iii had deceived the senate regarding his interactions with russian officials there were immediate demands that the attorney general recuse himself from investigations into issues relating to those lies and that he resign as th... |
sessions has made his position clear |
this lawless attorney general is not going to do the right thing so congress must consider the prospect of impeachment the founders anticipated such circumstance this is why they outlined an impeachment process |
heres why the washington post has revealed that during the 2016 presidential campaign when sessions was a close counselor and top surrogate for donald trump he spoke twice with russias ambassador to the united states |
sessions acknowledges the meetings now but when he appeared before the senate judiciary committee as trumps nominee for attorney general in january senator al franken asked how sessions might handle revelations that individuals associated with the trump campaign had communicated with the russian government |
sessions replied im not aware of any of those activities i have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and i did not have communications with the russians |
this was not the only denial from sessions according to the washington post |
in january sen patrick leahy dvt asked sessions for answers to written questions several of the presidentelects nominees or senior advisers have russian ties have you been in contact with anyone connected to any part of the russian government about the 2016 election either before or after election day leahy wrote sessi... |
we now know that was not the case and unless sessions is far too absentminded to continue to serve as attorney general (a circumstance that no one seriously entertains at this point) then we have been handed evidence that this man engaged in a blatant attempt to deceive the very senate that was charged with determining... |
sessions and his aides were busy making excuses wednesday night and thursday morning claiming that he spoke with the ambassador in his capacity as a senator rather than as a trump surrogateand that the russian ambassador was one of many foreign officials with whom he met as a senior member of the armed services committ... |
so what the issue isnt whether sessions spoke with the ambassador nor does it matter whether he did so as a senator or as a trump surrogate he was both what matters is what sessions told fellow senators when he was asked straightforward questions he volunteered i did not have communications with the russians he replied... |
of course sessions had to recuse himself from inquires into inquiries into allegations that the russians meddled in the 2016 election as new york representative eliot engel the ranking member of the house committee on foreign affairs explained [the] revelation about thensenator sessionss contact with russias ambassador... |
even republicans who have been slow to hold the trump administration to account were calling for recusal house oversight and government reform committee chair jason chaffetz tweeted ag sessions should clarify his testimony and recuse himself |
the decision by sessions to recuse himself addressed concerns about his personal involvement tainting specific investigations but it did not address the issue of sessionss lying to the senate |
house democratic leader nancy pelosi proposed a more appropriate response to the revelations regarding sessions declaring that after lying under oath to congress about his own communications with the russians the attorney general must resign sessions is not fit to serve as the top law enforcement officer of our country... |
senate democratic leader chuck schumer agreed |
so did senator elizabeth warren who said we need a special prosecutor totally independent of the ag we need a real bipartisan transparent congressional investigation into russia and we need attorney general jeff sessionswho should have never been confirmed in the first placeto resign we need it now |
true enough but sessions is not about to resign and his record does not offer any indication that he intends to start telling the truth |
the founders anticipated such circumstances which is why they wrote a constitution that outlined an impeachment process the catchall phrase high crimes and misdemeanors was intended to give guardians of the republic leeway for holding presidents vice presidents and cabinet members to account an impeached official is no... |
the signers of the constitution did not intend that this tool would be used only by the opposition party the intent was that all members of the house and senate might rise above partisanship and ideology when it came time to defend the american experiment and while no one is naive about the level of partisanship in tod... |
jeff sessions disrespected the basic premises of that experiment and disregarded the constitution he did so in pursuit of a position that of attorney general of the united states he obtained that position under false pretenses it is now time to relieve him of his responsibilities as the nations chief lawenforcement off... |
the tool impeachment is at the ready it should be employed by all members of congress who believe that constitutionally defined oaths must be upheld |
theres measuring the drapes and then theres measuring the drapes on a house you havent bought and may never own but youre so convinced you will that hey lets buy drapes |
and theres hubris joe millerstyle |
so confident is miller that hell win lisa murkowskis alaska senate seat in november he boasted last night to his over 4000 twitter followers that on his trip to dc this week he might do some house hunting and perhaps buy some furniture and also commission a name plaque for the door of his future senate office |
the tweets were flagged by a source and sent my way check it out |
the blog mudflats and slate reporter dave weigel also noticed |
today theyre gone |
in millers defense he is leading his race tpms polltracker has him ahead by just over two points in a three way race with murkowski and democrat scott mcadams |
but its probably for the best that he took those tweets down after all everybody knows there are no big egos in the united states senate |
usled coalition air strikes on a jail run by the islamic state group in eastern syria killed at least 57 people monitors said on tuesday |
the ukbased syrian observatory for human rights said the air strike took place on monday at dawn hitting a building in the town of mayadin south of raqqa that was being used as a prison |
the strikes hit an is jail in mayadin at dawn on monday killing 42 prisoners and 15 jihadists observatory chief rami abdel rahman told afp |
many of the dead are thought to be civilians as well as captured rebel fighters from the free syrian army |
if the toll is confirmed it would make it one of the deadliest single incidents since the us intervened in the syrian war in 2014 |
islamic state is believed to have moved most of its leaders to mayadin in syria's euphrates valley southeast of the group's besieged capital raqqa two us intelligence officials have said |
among the operations moved to mayadin about 50 miles west of the iraqi border were its online propaganda operation and its limited command and control of attacks in europe and elsewhere they said |
the coalition conducted strikes on known isis command and control facilities and other isis infrastructure in (mayadin) syria june 25 and 26 colonel joe scrocca coalition director of public affairs said in an email |
a notorious protester convicted of wilfully promoting hatred against muslims and criminally harassing a muslim man and his family was sentenced tuesday to nine months in jail eric brazau handed out a flyer that vilified muslims and disparages their religion ontario court judge s ford clements said in february when he f... |
eric brazau was convicted of willful promotion of hatred against muslims and criminally harassing a muslim family ( carlos osorio / toronto star file photo ) |
the case was far from being on the borderline between rough and tumble debate and hate speech as brazau had argued clements said in a college park courtroom brazau handed out the flyer which contained many offensive references to islam and muslims in august and september 2012 while distributing it brazau sometimes yell... |
article continued below |
clements disagreed he knew the material would deeply wound and anger muslims said clements the content was not humorous ironic or satirical he said mr brazau is far too intelligent to believe this to be so the flyer also contained a somewhat blurred photograph of a muslim family on a downtown toronto street |
the man in the photo testified that brazau called him a terrorist on the day brazau took the photo in a second interaction a few weeks later on a sidewalk the man whose name is protected by a publication ban said that brazau approached him aggressively while photographing the family making him concerned and fearful |
article continued below |
clements found this to be criminal harassment during sentencing submissions crown prosecutor derek ishak described brazau as an unrepentant hatemonger who abused his right to freedom of speech in a planned deliberate manner clements said tuesday in his sentencing decision however clements said that while brazaus condu... |

you have to give president barack obama credit for one thing consistency nothing is ever his fault nothing will ever be his fault faulting fox news and the american people on the other hand now that's a different story |
do you remember when obama traipsed around the country and desperately pleaded with americans to vote for hillary clinton because his agenda and his legacy were on the ballot he made a similar pitch before the shellacking his party took in the 2014 congressional elections |
yet did he acknowledge after this 2014 failing that he had anything to do with it does he own up to his leading role in last month's presidential election |
let's rewind the tape further to obama's reaction to his party's stunning defeat in the 2010 congressional elections which was largely about obamacare he didn't acknowledge any personal culpability for visiting that monstrosity on the american people through trickery and deceit he simply lamented that he hadn't done a ... |
do you see the pattern here obama's view is that the american people those in the red states anyway are a little slow paranoid and bigoted and need to be brought along carefully into the 21st century where progressivism has ushered in a new age of enlightenment his only failing has been in inadequately reeducating th... |
let me give you another example remember obama's depiction of the islamic state group as a jv team how about his claim the night before the terrorist massacres in paris that the islamic state was contained |
did he ever acknowledge his errors there no again his only failing was in not having communicated sufficiently his counterterrorism strategies to the american people he said his strategy against the islamic state was working (this was before as i recall his admission that he had no policy) the problem was that saturate... |
again there's nothing to see here it's not a terrorism problem but a perception problem there's no obamacare problem it's just that the american people don't get it |
even liberal new york times columnist maureen dowd acknowledged in 2012 that obama and his wife michelle are condescending and aloof the obamas do believe in american exceptionalism their own and they feel overassaulted and underappreciated she wrote the obamas haven't disappointed americans we disappointed them |
even earlier in february 2010 obama pledged to listen to republicans at a health care summit but as columnist joseph curl wrote turns out he meant he'd be listening to his own voice by the end of the televised event mr obama had spoken for 119 minutes nine minutes more than the 110 minutes consumed by 17 republicans t... |
and why do the rubes keep misperceiving obama's greatness fox news rush limbaugh sean hannity |
in a recently published interview with rolling stone obama denied that he and his party overlooked the cohort of workingclass white voters that supposedly accounted for donald trump's victory absolutely not his fault part of it said obama is fox news in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country but part of ... |
the challenge democrats have according to obama is not that they've neglected these communities from a policy perspective what is true though is that whatever policy prescriptions that we've been proposing don't reach are not heard by the folks in these communities and what they do hear is 'obama or hillary are trying ... |
i repeat this guy is remarkably incorrigibly consistent he has made no policy errors his message just isn't getting through partly because the conservative media are lying about it and partly because people are just too darned dense |
i hate to keep bringing up the past but his war on the conservative media is nothing new either i wrote about it in 2010 in my book crimes against liberty he began snubbing fox reporters at news conferences for insufficiently pandering the white house blog regularly denounced fox news and other critics white house comm... |
remember when obamacare's principal architect jonathan gruber openly admitted that the obama administration was able to deceive the american people about obamacare and chalked it up to the stupidity of the american voter |
so go ahead and cry us a river about how the conservative media are mistreating you mr obama and misleading the public you have been trying to deceive us for eight years and the public has been onto you for at least 6 1/2 of those years now voters have handed you your biggest spanking yet and you still will not listen ... |
what is the cure for american health care that is a question that a lot of people are trying to answer and its a highly debated topic but the answer is plain and simple single payer health care is the best form of health care a nation can hope to have it is efficient provides quality and timely access to everyone and i... |
to start lets dismiss some of the common arguments against single payer health care that come from the opposite side like a single payer system having long wait lists or that it is very inefficient and expensive this couldnt be farther from the truth fact a recent public library of science study stated reported efficie... |
this is just one example of the several studies on this issue all saying the same thing that single payer works and it is inherently the best system a nation could hope to have a study by the world health organization also supports this claim and in a worldwide health care ranking the united states was ranked 37 canada... |
to be clear this isnt a conservative or liberal issue in fact in most countries its just a given there are no politics involved the pnhp explained the conservative argument for single payer health care saying that it would save money by eliminating bureaucracy boost american business by eliminating health costs and wou... |
so its likely there wont be any action to move to this system which every major study finds is better for a whole on a national level however there has been a growing movement for a single payer system on a national level mainly rallied around the independent senator from vermont bernie sanders and even though it might... |
but with midterm elections in two years its quite possible things could change and a single payer option could be back on the table i would like to take a moment to encourage everyone conservative or liberal to put politics aside and come together on this issue no one should be denied the right to health care for any r... |
