HOW LONG CAN SESSIONS LAST?

Last evening President Trump tweeted once more about his disdain for Jeff Sessions as his own AG. Here's what he said.

Sessions is still on board. But there is something very different about a Cabinet member staying in there even with a constant onslaught from the man who appointed him. A few questions. Did Sessions testify in the Russian probe? Will Trump keep him or run him off? So far, Sessions is hanging around. More to come. 

TRUMP AND ROSEANNE

The White House said it was not defending Roseanne Barr for the racist tweet that ultimately led to the demise of her sitcom's cancellation on ABC.
But in making EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM, the President and his press secretary Sarah Sanders insisted they were also owed an apology from ABC for airing derogatory comments about the administration.
Let’s get this straight. Everything that is being reported by the news organizations, ABC, CNN, all of them happened BECAUSE of Donald Trump’s own actions. Trump’s deeply felt resentment at his portrayal in the media, as well as his long list of grievances at perceived slights since he started running have been vastly misplaced.But he refuses to place the blame on everyone but himself.

TRUMP BLAMING DEMOCRATS FOR IMMIGRATION

In a Tweet, The President blamed Democrats for holding up Immigration,. Bottom line folks is this: this man can’t control his own party. The REPUBLICANS are in charge not the Dems. But a basic 6th grader studying social studies would know that!

ROSEANNE’S RACISM

Why would anyone riding high with a hit show jeopardize it with a senseless, racist tweet? Roseanne is gone from ABC swiftly because of the way she compared Obama aide Valerie Jarrett with an animal. What is it with these Republicans and Trump-ites who have a fixation on Obama and even his people.
Please understand that Obama was elected by majorities BOTH times when he ran for President. No Democrat since FDR did that! It's over, a black man was President. But these people just can’t seem to let it go.
Again I reference this wonderful song from South Pacific.

WAGNER CALLS FOR 67 DEBATES AGAINST WOLF!!!!!!

2018 gubernatorial nominee Scott Wagner this morning called on Governor Wolf to participate in a debate in every county in the commonwealth before Election Day. In order for the candidates to break away from the rehearsed and canned answers that often come with traditional debates, Wagner is urging that he and the Governor discuss the issues in a town hall format, where they will have the opportunity to answer questions directly from the voters.
Speaking about the proposal, Wagner said, “It’s time for Pennsylvanians to have a gubernatorial campaign that focuses on them for a change. They deserve candidates who are not afraid to provide direct and personalized answers on their plans for the future of the commonwealth. I believe that Governor Wolf is failing us, and that it’s important for voters in every county to get a chance to see the differences between us in person so that they can make an informed choice when they head to the polls in November.”
Republican Lieutenant Governor Nominee Jeff Bartos added, “This may be a foreign concept to Governor Wolf, but Scott and I think a lieutenant governor should have a firm understanding of the administration’s agenda and be able to step in for the governor whenever necessary. Therefore, if Governor Wolf does not have time to attend all 67 debates, I suggest that he allow Mayor Fetterman and I to articulate the views of our respective tickets in front of the people.”
Wagner’s proposal to get the focus of the race back on the issues and the people of Pennsylvania comes after the Wolf campaign has spent the last two weeks launching a slew of negative attack ads against him.
•In the Republican Primary, however, the Wolf campaign criticized candidates for running negative ads “Rather than focusing on the issues that matter most to Pennsylvanians.” (PennLive, 4/5/18)
Pennsylvania’s editorial boards hold the Wolf campaign’s pre-general election view, and want an issue focused race as well.
•The Doylestown Intelligencer Editorial Board: “When candidates stoop to name-calling and other negative campaign tactics they cheat voters. What voters need in order to make an educated decision in any election is information about a candidate’s record and his or her agenda for the future. When candidates instead choose to distort their opponent’s record, they deny voters the ability to make a reasoned, fact-based decision.” (Doylestown Intelligencer, 4/8/18)
•The York Daily Record Editorial Board: “In the end, we hope this will be a race about policies and the future direction of PA, not about mudslinging and personality.” (York Daily Record, 5/16/18)
Tom Wolf said he’d be a different kind of governor. However, he’s running his re-election campaign just like a typical politician. If he really wants to shake up the system, he’ll ditch traditional negative media attacks and come explain to the voters in person why he deserves four more years.

CARTWRIGHT CALLS FOR PROTECTION OF RURAL BROADBAND

Rural access to high-speed broadband internet stitches our country together. Small-town entrepreneurs rely on it to build their businesses and support their families. Schools depend on it to provide a better education for students.
Congressman Matt Cartwright is asking people to tell the FCC to prioritize rural broadband – not cut it.
Why is the FCC proposing cuts to rural broadband? Their plan: reduce the number of providers and limit resellers for the rural Lifeline Program.
This will only serve to drive up costs in communities that cannot afford it. That's why consumer advocates, internet service providers, and even conservative think tanks all agree – cutting rural broadband is a bad idea.
