[Townhall] The attacks keep coming. Murder or maiming by Muslims living among us is an almost daily occurrence in the West. The latest was knifeman Khalid Masood, who plowed a car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge, London, and then proceeded to slash at them with a 12-inch blade. Immoral media counted five dead, with the killer.
In addition to the four murdered, 50 people were injured.
Promptly did Prime Minister Theresa May get her Churchill on: "[W]e are not afraid and our resolve will never waver in the face of terrorism." How easy it is to wax fat from the safety of a bunker! May was whisked away from the Houses of Parliament by an armed security detail.
In fact, the only reason Masood hadn't claimed more lives for his vampiric God (a peaceful entity, promised Prime Minister May) was because he committed Jihad at the Parliamentary estate. There, a "close protection officer," essentially a bodyguard to a politician, drew a gun and dispatched the rampaging Muslim.
So you know: In Cool Britannia, the moniker the Island acquired in the times of trendy Tony Blair, the only way disarmed Britons may shoot a savage is with ... a camera. For in the country that gave us the "Rights of Englishmen," the inspiration for the American founders--including the 1689 English Bill of Rights which entails the right to possess arms--the natural order has been inverted.
[Hurriyet Daily News] Hours before U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s arrival in Ankara on the evening of March 29, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said on NTV that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... ’s "Euphrates Shield" operation on Syria soil had been completed.
Yildirim had just stepped out of a National Security Board (MGK) meeting chaired by President Tayyip Erdogan, with the board’s blurb subsequently saying the operation had been "successfully completed."

[Guardian] Illinois senator criticized Gorsuch’s refusal to meet, as more than 30 Democrats now plan not to support Donald Trump’s supreme court nominee.
Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth announced Thursday that she would join fellow Democrats in blocking a confirmation vote on Neil Gorsuch, Donald Trump’s supreme court nominee.
Duckworth, a combat veteran of the Iraq war who was first elected to the Senate in 2016, cited in a statement the refusal of Gorsuch to meet her as one key reason for her vote.
"Judge Gorsuch has not made the effort to meet with me in person to answer the serious questions I have about his record and he in fact cancelled a meeting we had previously scheduled," said Duckworth. She added: "I refuse to vote to end debate on a nominee who refuses to provide any answers to my questions." Emphasis added.

I crashed one once upon a time. Fortunately for me no lasting injuries and most fortunately for me, prevented my deployment in 1971. When I was able to fly again my window was gone.
Unfortunately I believe I once heard that "damn fool" comment being said about me as well. I'll take it now, but back then, I'll just say I wasn't.

Republicans, who number 52 in the Senate, need eight Democrats to join them in order to end the expected filibuster, or in more technical terms, invoke cloture.
If they don't reach 60 votes, they can still get around it by changing the rules and requiring only a simple majority, or 51 votes, to end the debate....and otherwise invoking the nuclear option.
I read accident analyses regularly. Once you sit in the front seat, excepting catastrophic failures and/or unforecast Wx, well, you're "boned" if something untoward happens.
[Breitbart] Thursday on his nationally syndicated radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh dismissed the possibility of President Donald Trump working alongside Democrats as "fantasy."
Limbaugh said this fantasy would come to an end when Democrats filibuster the Supreme Court confirmation vote of Judge Neil Gorsuch likely to happen next month, which Limbaugh said will be done out of a necessity for Democrats to fundraise.

It's not so much Trump working with the Donks as much as the Donks, sensing their total lack of power and influence after the Reid option, working with Trump to claw some back. Individual Senators and some reps may be looking for constituent representation.
