Now hitting CNN and MSNBC.

Quoting CNN:

"I believe that the only way to put us back on the path of appropriate consideration of judicial nominees, is to evaluate Judge Barrett as we would want to be judged -- on the merits of her qualifications. And we do that when that final question comes before us. And when it does, I will be a yes," Murkowski said on the Senate floor.

Of course she did.

Time to blow up the court.

Just announced. March break is next week and all publicly funded schools will be closed an additional 2 weeks until April 5.

Not clear if this affects all schools, universities, etc. It came out of no where as the Covid-19 situation was under control.

Main rational:

"As we head into March Break, it is clear there will be an increased travel and exposure to the virus to families. I want every parent and family to know with confidence that when their child returns to school, they will be safe," Lecce said.

The government is worried the travel during the break will introduce more chances of a spread so they are extending the break for 2 weeks.

COVID-19 forces Ontario government to shut down for 2 weeks following March Break

Yes, 3 cities make the top ten in the list from Economist Intelligence Unit. From wikipedia:

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) is a British business within the Economist Group providing forecasting and advisory services through research and analysis, such as monthly country reports, five-year country economic forecasts, country risk service reports, and industry reports.

Their site is down so a link to a CBC News article:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/canada-economist-liveability-1.4784524

Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto make the top ten. There are 30 different factors that go into the ranking. A total of 140 cities were scored.

New York is listed at number 57. As the main site is down, can’t see other cities.

Yes, free health care, pensions, safety net, and still at the top!

The idiot in chief has tweeted again:

Border Patrol Agents are not allowed to properly do their job at the Border because of ridiculous liberal (Democrat) laws like Catch & Release. Getting more dangerous. Ã¢ÂÂCaravansÃ¢ÂÂ coming. Republicans must go to Nuclear Option to pass tough laws NOW. NO MORE DACA DEAL!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 1, 2018

The senate has said they don’t want the nuclear option as it will also apply if the Democrats get power. And of course, the GOP has a 1 seat majority in the Senate.

Of all days, he does this on Easter Sunday. What a moron.

He went further:

Mexico is doing very little, if not NOTHING, at stopping people from flowing into Mexico through their Southern Border, and then into the U.S. They laugh at our dumb immigration laws. They must stop the big drug and people flows, or I will stop their cash cow, NAFTA. NEED WALL!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 1, 2018

The wall again?

NAFTA? Yes there are problems with NAFTA, but the US would lose more than they would gain.

These big flows of people are all trying to take advantage of DACA. They want in on the act!

It is still very hard to buy a gun in Canada. Very hard for a handgun and almost impossible for the assault style weapons.

But the boycott of gun manufacturers has now spread to Canada.

First there was Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) which sells outdoor recreation gear and clothing in its 22 stores, will stop selling products made by Vista:

Vista-owned brands including Bollé, Bushnell, CamelBak and Jimmy Styks ...

MEC doesn’t even sell guns or ammunition. But after pressure decided to stop selling products made by Vista, which does make guns:

Vista also manufactures and sells guns and ammunition, including rifles under brand names such as Savage Arms, as well as Fox. Savage Arms in particular makes rapid-fire semi-automatic rifles with high-capacity magazines, which are functionally similar to the weapon used in last month's attack, and others.

Mountain Equipment Co-op to stop selling Vista Outdoor products

Also today, The Running Room, which sells athletic wear — nothing that comes close to selling guns- will stop ordering products made by Camelbak and will selling existing stock. (This was in a email and there is nothing on the website yet)

The Running Room has stores in Canada and a few in the US. Expensive stuff that I haven’t bought yet but interested in them after a referral from my doctor.

It won’t be republican lawmakers that cause a change, but the mighty dollar.

The panic spreads.

Raw story, along with many other are now reporting on Jill Stein’s interview with MSNBC’s Alex Witt’s.

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein attempted a frantic defense Sunday afternoon over reports that Russian hackers worked to promote her campaign in an effort to defeat Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Speaking with MSNBC’s Alex Witt, the two-time nominee at times shouted over the host, after deflecting questions about Russian involvement in her campaign, saying she knew of only one post on her Facebook page out of “trillions” posted on the social media site.

Blames the networks, Clinton, and the DNC.

Never took responsibility.

Breaking: Special counsel court filing reveals new bank fraud allegations against Manafort

On MSNBC and now CNN:

Special counsel Robert Mueller's office dropped more potentially damning details -- from an allegation of "additional criminal conduct" to personal financial troubles -- in a response to Paul Manafort's request to change his bail proposal on Friday.

Filing: cdn.cnn.com/...

Maddow stating this is in response for Manafort’s bail conditions. The response was not sealed.

In relation to a mortgage on one of Manafort’s properties — in Fairfax, Virginia — that he committed more fraud in obtaining the mortgage. In addition, the bank may foreclose on the property.

Very close to Gate’s “queen for a Day” take with Mueller.

But how stupid can Manafort be? Committing a fraud, in writing, while in trouble with the law.

Rep. Nadler: rebuttal calls Nunes memo ‘deliberately misleading - NBC News Exclusive

NBC News has exclusively obtained a six-page rebuttal to the Nunes memo from Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, which was to be circulated to all House Democrats on Saturday

Link to rebuttal: msnbcmedia.msn.com/…

Four main points according to NBC:

That Nunes’ memo fails to demonstrate that the government lacked enough evidence beyond a dossier from former British spy Christopher Steele to obtain a FISA warrant on Page.
That Steele’s expertise on Russia and organized crime would have outweighed any concerns a FISA court would have had about the funding of Steele’s work by partisan actors — funding sources that Steele may not have even known about.
That Nunes’ memo “provides no credible basis whatsoever” for removing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversees the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller.
That Nunes’ memo shows that Republicans “are now part and parcel to an organized effort to obstruct” Mueller’s probe.

Full article on NBC News — www.nbcnews.com/…

This is not the full memo from Rep Schiff, which is waiting for clearance and permission from the committee to be released. But it is a start.

I am now fed up of having to log in at least once a day. Really annoying as i have to refresh each page to recommend, tip, or HR the rock crusher ads.

I know security is tough and so on, but this is not a high value super secret site.

Can the login period be extended? Or at least ask if the computer is secure or public access when asking to log in.
