>The United States is closely monitoring the situation in Idlib province, Syria, where millions of innocent civilians are under threat of an imminent Assad regime attack, backed by Russia and Iran. President Donald J. Trump has warned that such an attack would be a reckless escalation of an already tragic conflict and would risk the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Let us be clear, it remains our firm stance that if President Bashar al-Assad chooses to again use chemical weapons, the United States and its Allies will respond swiftly and appropriately. The United States will continue to work tirelessly with its Allies to find a lasting diplomatic solution to resolve the hostilities in Syria under the auspices of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2254.
>A Remarkable Career in Photos: Judge Kavanaugh to Testify Before the Senate
>Senators from both parties told the White House they wanted to see a real judge nominated with outstanding credentials—one who will respect precedent. Judge Kavanaugh is all of that and more. Learn more and see photos from his decades of public service
Here is what to expect as Judge Kavanaugh testifies this week:
>Tuesday, September 4: Introductions and remarks from the Senate Judiciary Committee’s 21 members, and an opening statement from Judge Kavanaugh >Wednesday, September 5: Senators, alternating by party and in order of seniority, will ask Judge Kavanaugh about his record, experience, and judicial philosophy >Thursday, September 6 and Friday, September 7: Once questions for the nominee have concluded, Senators will hear testimony from outside witnesses
Check them numbers! On an unrelated note, has any news on the trade front in yet? Doesn't Canada have until tomorrow before they get kicked out of NAFTA?
>Do you guys have any reasonable reason to think republicans will keep the house Yes. Democrats may take the house but that's far from being a done deal right now. Reagan presided a country with 10% inflation and 8% unemployment (with states like Michigan and West Virginia having it at 14%) going into his first midterms and he lost a total of 26 seats (most of them from the 34 democrat seats that went for republicans 2 years prior). Democrats in 2018 need to flip 24, not an easy feat with the economy this great.
There is no reason for the democrats to believe they will have an easier time in October in the midterms than they had in Cali in the jungle primaries, where they came a lot short of what's needed to pull a wave election
>A Kansas City, Mo., man with a prior federal felony conviction for possessing child pornography was sentenced in federal court today for printing obscene images from a computer at a local public library.
>David R. Buie, 63, of Kansas City, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Stephen R. Bough to 10 years and one month in federal prison without parole. The court also sentenced Buie to a lifetime of supervised release following incarceration. The sentence in this case must be served consecutively to a four-month sentence imposed for violating the terms of his supervised release in an earlier, unrelated federal conviction for possessing child pornography.
>On May 8, 2018, Buie was found guilty at trial of one count of possessing obscene images of the sexual abuse of children. Evidence introduced during the trial indicated that Buie printed images of child obscenity from a computer at a public library. On July 11, 2017, Buie printed about 50 pages from a computer he was using at the Mid-Continent Public Library at 9253 Blue Ridge Blvd., Kansas City, Mo. Buie didn’t realize that the printer stopped because it was out of toner, so his print jobs were interrupted and only about half of his pages were printed. After Buie left the library, the toner in the printer was changed and the remaining pages of his original print job were printed. As one of the librarians was cleaning up, she removed the remaining pages and observed they were color copies depicting minors from a graphic sex comic.
>Library staff contacted the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department to make a report. Buie was identified because his library card was associated with the print job. Security cameras within the library showed him using a computer at the time of the printing.
Dems probably enjoy a 2-3 point registration advantage... And these people use D+12 samples in a midterm year, in which the electorate is usually whiter and older than in presidential years
I just tuned in. Bret looks as angry as he did earlier today. Is this going to get wild like you guys have mentioned?

Prior to President Trump’s election, Bash was the deputy director of policy and communications for U.S. Senator Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign.
Bash’s father is Dr. Lawrence Richard Gelman, a “distinguished physician” in the Rio Grande Valley, so says a feature in Empower Texans. That feature says that Dr. Gelman “is a second-generation Polish-American Jew whose parents barely escaped the Holocaust and found solace in America.” Dr. Gelman met his wife, Maria Esperanza, in Monterrey, Mexico, and the couple was married in 1979. They have four children together, Zina, Alexander, Rachel and Sharon. When asked about his politics in the article, Dr. Gelman says, “I don’t belong to anything, I hate politics…We [as a society] are affected by what goes on in Washington, and Austin; my involvement wasn’t intentional, it was more of a self-defense. When you’ve got your kids, [you] want to try to return the way things used to be, the way things are supposed to be.” In 2017, Dr. Gelman wrote and produced a documentary called, The Hoax of Man-Made Global Warming. Dr. Gelman called climate activists “hucksters” who “perpetrate ad convenient lie.” In the early 2000’s, Dr. Gelman hosted a political talk radio show titled, Talk Back with Dr. Lawrence Gelman. Dr. Gelman told Texas Border Business about elaborated on his feelings about climate change in an interview. He said, “We don’t believe [man made climate change] is occurring. Climate change and temperature have been going on forever, but it’s nothing to do with what man is doing. We believe that it’s being used by government and others for their agenda.”
>The House is a lost cause. >Do you guys have any reasonable reason to think republicans will keep the house I think congressional elections are all about enthusiasm. The democrats and their media have done a good job hyping up their zealots, but my opinion is that these people comprise a much smaller minority than they would have us believe
any white retiree who watches the news for 5 seconds knows that the left has completely lost its mind. they have nothing to offer except anti-american, conspiracy-mongering hatred and sedition. I think turnout for GOP will exceed expectations while democrat voters will disappoint.
The GOP will lose seats but retain the house, and will increase their share of the senate
It is pretty pathetic though, Brett is pretty moderate, hes not gonna overturn anything meaningful
Trump could have picked someone more right wing than Thomas but he threw Dems & Kennedy a bone by electing a moderate, but they still bitch
