[WASHINGTONTIMES] An LGBTQ commissioner of the Ohio University Student Senate Appropriations Commission was locked away Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! Monday for allegedly sending herself fake hate messages.
Anna Ayers, a senior studying journalism, has been charged with three counts of making false alarms after campus police determined she posted the threats herself prior to reporting them.
Ms. Ayers told the Student Senate last week that she received an anonymous note in her office that "expressed extreme hatred ... because of who I am," Athens News reported Sunday. She said another message she received threatened her life because of her sexual orientation. She said she suspected the threats came "from within [the Senate]" and called on members to take immediate action.
"I have no interest in hearing from any of you that you are sorry that this happened, or that you can’t believe it happened at all," she said. "Instead, I want each of you to do everything you can make sure it doesn’t happen again."
The Student Senate responded by ending the open-space orientation of Student Senate offices in Baker Center and moving to replace the locks with electronic ID swipers, Athens News reported. It was unclear Wednesday whether the plan would move forward in light of Ms. Ayers’ arrest.

Just because it didn't happen is no reason not to punish the innocent and Demand Change(TM).

...And while we're at it, remember also that if the hate crimes aren't happening, then they need to be invented.

[BREITBART] CNN is being accused of racism after commentators Bakari Sellers and Tara Setmayer bashed rapper Kanye West over his support for Trump on CNN Tonight with Don Lemon, going so far as to call him a "token negro."
"Kanye West is what happens when negroes don’t read," CNN commentator Bakari Sellers said, in reference to an old Chris Rock bit.
CNN’s Tara Setmayer went even further, calling Kanye West a "an attention whore like the president."
"He’s all of a sudden now the model spokesperson‐he’s the token Negro of the Trump Administration?" she also said.
Don Lemon laughed and giggled throughout the segment as the two commentators degraded Kanye West.

The local talk *Sports* radio show started riffing about how "Kanye West had gone down hill since..." in the middle of the sports talk show...no less. I changed stations.

Their rules don't apply to themselves and they react with genuine confusion when you suggest that they do.

I keep telling ya'all, its Freudian Projection from the Left. Racism, sexism, et al are deep and rife in them. They think because it surrounds them, everyone else is just like them.

Worse than that. Since they, the Left, are the Good Guys™ and the Right, "Nazis one and all" obviously, are the Bad Guys™ ... then whatever the Right must be infinitely worse than what they see in their own ranks.
• Crew is safe • Anomaly detected with Stage 2 aka Center Core Booster • Current Station crew planned to be on orbit until December • NASA evaluating options for completing upcoming spacewalks now that Hague is still on Earth
Folks, I am too pro-Spacex so filter my rage against NASA Shelby and Company as you please.
Today Soyuz with a US and Russian astronaut blew the hell up this AM AND NASA pushed SpaceX's manned capsule, already at the cape back 9 months, for NASA paperwork reasons.
Like the SOBs would rather launch astronauts on exploding USSR crap than use the SpaceX or Boeing capsules!
I even heard the argument that SpaceX has only done a few launches. It's done 68 flights and will pass the Atlas 5 (Lockheed/ULA) total count this year. It's a tested rocket and one with a first stage brought home safely 30 time to inspect and sometimes reuse. Nobody else on the planet has that knowledge of their first stages. SpaceX Statistics if you don't believe me here
Oh and the fricking air-force just gave development contracts to ULA, ATK and Blue Origin totally ignoring SpaceX (cheap and works).
The whole Space Part of the US government including Sen Shelby needs an enema!

This is the same situation we faced when the damned Shuttle was taken out of the picture. So again we are stuck on depending on the Russians and their tired iron. That needs to change after decades of BS the federal govt sitting on its hands.

They've been arguing for thirty years about the need to make the US dependent on Russia even while Russia becomes more and more incapable of having a working space program but they'll tell you Trump is guilty of collusion.
[WSJ] After narrowly dodging a corruption conviction, New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez faces a re-election dogfight against former Celgene CEO Bob Hugin. The Senator is now lying to voters about his opponent’s business record the way he dissembled about his political corruption.
Democrats always treat a Republican candidate from business as if commerce is by definition criminal, and Mr. Hugin is no exception. The GOP Senate candidate joined the New Jersey-based biotech firm Celgene in 1999 in its infancy and rose to CEO in 2010. He helped grow Celgene into one of the country’s largest pharmaceutical companies.
Big pharma is a perennial target for politicians, and Mr. Menendez has been vilifying Mr. Hugin for ordinary business practices. Among other things, his ads charge that Mr. Hugin settled a lawsuit for $280 million "for hiding information about potentially fatal side effects" and "raised the cost of a cancer drug three times in one year." These distortions need to be corrected since the truth is that tens of thousands of patients have benefited from Celgene’s innovations.
Celgene’s biggest blockbusters have been Thalomid and Revlimid, which treat the rare blood cancer multiple myeloma and are based on the compound thalidomide. While thalidomide was found to cause birth defects in the 1950s, research in the 1990s suggested it could treat conditions including AIDS.
In 1998 FDA approved Celgene’s application of thalidomide to treat leprosy, which affects about 100 Americans each year. The following year the New England Journal of Medicine published a study that found thalidomide "had substantial antitumor activity in patients with advanced myeloma," which is incurable with conventional chemotherapy.
Celgene began to highlight thalidomide’s potential to treat multiple mylenoma before the FDA approved Thalomid and Revlimid in 2006. A former employee in 2010 sued Celgene for $40 billion under the False Claims Act for allegedly engaging in illegal off-label promoting, paying kickbacks to doctors and billing Medicare for the therapies.
Companies under FDA rules aren’t supposed to promote drugs for uses that haven’t been approved by the FDA, but some courts have ruled this restriction violates the First Amendment. Doctors are allowed to prescribe drugs for unapproved indications, and Medicare will reimburse off-label cancer uses that are supported by clinical research.
Many doctors prescribed Celgene’s drugs for multiple myeloma because they were superior to existing therapies and caused fewer severe side effects. The Justice Department under Barack Obama decided not to intervene in the "qui tam" lawsuit, and a federal judge dismissed allegations of kickbacks. Celgene settled remaining claims last year for $280 million. Mr. Hugin’s job was to maximize value for shareholders, and settling dubious lawsuits is often a cost of doing business.
As for the accusation that Mr. Hugin gouged patients, the unfortunate reality is that curing cancer isn’t cheap. Between 2010 and 2017, the list price for a monthly dose of Revlimid doubled to about $18,000. Most patients pay far less out-of-pocket.
Generic manufacturers have complained that Celgene has used the FDA’s Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program as a pretext to withhold samples of Revlimid that could be used to develop and test alternatives. This common industry ploy can extend a patent life by years. But Revlimid’s patents don’t expire until 2027, and earlier this year it agreed to allow Natco Pharma to introduce a generic competitor in 2022.
With competition from CAR T-cell treatments on the horizon, Celgene may now be trying to maximize profits from Revlimid that are necessary to fund research and development into other treatments. Celgene has trials for more than 40 new drugs or indications in the pipeline. Earlier this year Celgene purchased the biotech startup Juno, which has been a CAR T-cell pioneer.
None of Celgene’s business practices are corrupt‐unlike Mr. Menendez’s machinations to procure visas for his doctor friend Salomon Melgen’s girlfriends. The Senator also intervened for the doctor with the Department of Health and Human Services in a Medicare billing dispute that involved reused vials of a macular degeneration drug that put patients at risk of infection.
Mr. Menendez escaped conviction thanks to the Supreme Court’s McDonnell ruling that made it harder for prosecutors to prove quid-pro-quo corruption. But the Senate Ethics Committee "severely" admonished him, and New Jersey voters now have an opportunity to oust a man who abused his power to help a campaign donor in favor of an entrepreneur who helped to save lives.
I’m having lunch with Michael Avenatti @MichaelAvenatti at the Vanity Fair Summit and he’s proposing a three-round mixed-martial arts fight with Donald Trump Jr. @DonaldJTrumpJr for charity. No joke.
