Ironically Trump may yet be the savior of the Republican Party
His investors and creditors have been burnt again and again. His ‘daddy’ put him in business and bailed him out time and again. (Famously by purchasing $20 million in gambling chips at one of Trump’s hotels. Chips have first claim on assets, before all other debt.)
Capitolwire: Wolf says goodbye to McGinty, names Isenhour new chief of staff.
“Today is really about being thankful for the opportunity I’ve had here and about welcoming Mary to her role,” McGinty said
LNP editorial defends free speech at public meetings. Better late than never.
We don’t mean to blame the current editorial board for the sins and silences of its predecessors, but our salient memories are of three times when LNP has remained silent (if not conspiratorial) when similar issues were involved:
Democrats Score Sought-After Senate Candidate in Pennsylvania
McGinty’s entrance would be a major victory for Democrats in Washington, who have scoured Pennsylvania looking for a top-tier candidate in what should be a politically-crucial Senate battleground in 2016.
“If our beds are filled, it means we have failed”
“Mount Sinai’s number one mission is to keep people out of the hospital. We’re focused on population health management as opposed to the traditional fee-for-service medicine. So instead of receiving care that’s isolated and intermittent, patients receive care that’s continuous and coordinated, much of it outside of the traditional hospital setting.”
LETTER: I find this article boldly inaccurate and slanderous.
I have lived and worked in Moscow for 6 years and have yet to see anybody defile or rebuke the American flag OR its people (ME!)… It ISN’T Americans that many (NOT most!) Russians dislike, it’s our government.
We agree, LNP improved under John Kirkpatrick
We have no insights into the reason for Kirkpatrick’s abrupt departure other than his own explanation, but we do agree that during his presidency there were considerable improvements, not only journalistically, but hopefully financially.
MILLER: About PA budget squabble . . . what if . . . ?
Why is a single Republican state representative doing the job of the Democratic leadership in the PA House and Senate?
Poll: Trump surges to big lead in GOP presidential race
Even with the drop in support on the final night of the survey, Trump was the favorite of 24 percent of registered Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.
Trump and His Apologists
As a standard-bearer for conservative ideas, Mr. Trump would likewise be a catastrophe. His only discernible principle is the promotion of his personal brand. His main message seems to be that because he’s rich and doesn’t care what anyone thinks, he can afford to tell everyone to go to hell.
TSUKERMAN: Russia's out dated army and long expired nuclear capacities
The functional period of operation of a nuclear charge of the Russian ballistic missile is ten years, and then the warhead must be returned to the plant, because it is necessary to change plutonium. Handling nuclear weapons is a very expensive process, requiring the entire industry for the continuous maintenance and replacement of charges.
A CASE STUDY: My role in the 2008 failed Downtown Library’s renovation and expansion project
It is relatively easy to design a new structure from bottom up. It is many times more challenging to retain and make wises future use of the old portion while successfully integrating it with the new. It is by necessity a process in informed and judicious compromise.
No action on rape kits despite new laws, federal money
The examination across all 50 states identified at least 70,000 sexual assault kits at more than 1,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide — likely only a small fraction of the national accumulation that likely reaches into the hundreds of thousands across the nation’s 18,000 law enforcement agencies.
