Is Trash gonna WIN this lost battle in the BOGUS War on Coal?

The West’s coal giant is closing way ahead of schedule

Since construction began in 1969, the coal plant and its associated mine on Black Mesa have provided millions of dollars to the Navajo and Hopi tribes and hundreds of jobs to local communities, as well as electricity to keep the lights on and air conditioners humming in the metastasizing cities of Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. Yet, they’ve also stood as symbols of the exploitation of Native Americans, of the destruction of the land, and of the sullying of the air, all to provide cheap power to the Southwest.

the plant’s four private utility owners, led by the Salt River Project, voted to shut down the plant at the end of 2019, some 25 years ahead of schedule. When the giant turbines come to a halt and the towers topple in the coming years, the plant will become a new symbol, this one of a transforming energy economy and an evolving electrical grid that is slowly rendering these soot-stained, mechanical megaliths obsolete.

The closure will deeply wound local economies, particularly in Page, LeChee, Kaibeto, and Kayenta

• 935 — Full-time employees in 2014 of Navajo Generating Station, the Kayenta Coal Mine on Black Mesa, which exists only to fuel the plant, and the 78-mile electric railroad that carries coal from the mine to the plant.

• 90 — Percent of those workers that are Native American.

• $141,500 — Average payroll expenditure per employee (wages, salaries, benefits, etc.)

The air (and water and land) will be a lot cleaner without Navajo Generating Station, one of the biggest polluters in the West

• 20 million metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent — Amount of greenhouse gases emitted by the power plant (carbon dioxide) and the mine (methane) each year.

• 8.6 million metric tons CO2 — Amount of greenhouse gases emitted yearly by a natural gas plant generating the same amount of electricity as the Navajo Generating Station. This does not account for leaks during natural gas production, processing, transportation, and storage.

• 472, 4370, 259 — Pounds of mercury, selenium, and arsenic, respectively, that spew from the power plant’s smokestacks each year. These elements are toxic to wildlife and humans and have shown up in relatively high concentrations in fish in the Grand Canyon and the San Juan River upstream from Lake Powell, as well as in precipitation at Mesa Verde National Park. Natural gas combustion emits only negligible amounts of these elements.

• 1.3 million — Tons of coal combustion waste produced by the plant each year, about 75 percent of which is disposed of nearby, with the rest sold for use in other applications.

Economics, not the so-called war on coal or federal environmental protections, is the primary factor shutting down the plant

Meet the 23 Republicans blocking Congress from seeing Trump's tax returns



Regardless of party affiliation, an astonishing 74 percent of Americans want to see Donald Trump's tax returns.

It makes sense considering Donald Trump has business all over the world and we really don’t know who his business comrades are, how much he owes, how much they pay him. These are relevant in the interest of government transparency, but more importantly in the interest of national security.

Last week, Rep. Bill Pascrell (NJ-09), said he intended to use a 1924 tax law that allowed members of the House Ways and Means Committee to privately examine tax returns to determine if there are conflicts of interest or Cons utional violations:

After privately examining returns -- Pascrell is seeking 10 years' worth -- the committee could decide to share them with the full House, which would in effect make them public.

The 1924 law gives congressional committees that set tax policy the power to examine tax returns.

It was used in 1974 when Congress looked at President Richard Nixon's returns, and in 2014 when the Ways and Means Committee released confidential tax information as part of its investigation into the Internal Revenue Service's handling of applications for nonprofit status.

Yesterday Pascrell introduced the amendment to see Trump’s returns and voted straight down party line to reject it.

Republicans block independent inquiry of Kremlingate, which might set bar for 'all future scandals'

GOP House Intelligence chair Devin Nunes pretty much summed up the standard Republican line on launching an independent investigation into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia during an election that was heavily tainted by Russian interference.

“There is not going to be one; I can tell you there is absolutely not going to be one. And I am not going to be lectured by people who are speaking out of both sides of their mouths."

While investigations continue behind closed doors in the House and Senate intelligence committees, launching an independent commission would be much more public and impossible for Republicans to contain.

But while the GOP continues its “nothing to see here” routine,

everyone who isn't a Congressional Republican is convinced this is likely the biggest scandal they've seen since Watergate. Take it from a seasoned reporter, an independent senator, and a retired military officer.

Head of U.S. Special Ops says that America’s government is in “unbelievable turmoil”

Army Gen. Raymond "Tony" Thomas didn't offer specifics but said he wants the government as "stable as possible"

Army Gen. Raymond “Tony” Thomas, the head of US Special Operations Command, bemoaned the “unbelievable turmoil” racking the United States government during a symposium in Maryland on Tuesday.


“Our government continues to be in unbelievable turmoil. I hope they sort it out soon because we’re a nation at war,” Thomas said in his speech, according to CNN. Although he didn’t specify what “turmoil” he was referring to, he clarified when later asked about his comments, saying, “As a commander, I’m concerned our government be as stable as possible.”

The Special Operations troops include Navy SEALs and the Army Green Berets, both of which have become increasingly prominent in military operations since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and which are equally prominent in our national folklore.

While it is unclear what Thomas was referring to,

it is quite possible that he was discussing the war that has been ongoing between the so-called “deep state” and the Trump administration.

Critics have accused America’s intelligence agencies of trying to promote an anti-Russian agenda and punishing both President Trump and various administration advisers with targeted leaks intended to discredit them.

There are also reports that members of intelligence communities, convinced that the Trump administration has been compromised by the Russian government,

has withheld information from the president in order to avoid having it leaked out.

‘He should do this with a therapist, not on TV’: Republican senator blasts Trump’s bonkers presser


PVL so-called Pres. Donald Trump’s wild and unhinged press conference on Thursday set tongues wagging across the Internet and, apparently, in the halls of Congress as well.CNN’s John King said he received a message from a Republican senator who wrote,

“He should do this with a therapist, not on live television.”


At what was ostensibly meant to be the announcement of Trump’s new nomination for Secretary of Labor on Thursday, the president

launched into a series of long-winded tirades where he

Anti-Defamation League: Trump Not Directly Addressing Anti-Semitism Is ‘Mind-Boggling’

For the second day in a row, President Trump addressed anti-Semitism during a press conference, and also for the second day in a row, the Anti-Defamation League was positively stunned by how he handled it.

Yesterday, Trump started off his answer to a question about anti-Semitism by invoking his electoral college win. The ADL responded in a tweet that it was “troubling” he didn’t “condemn the real issue of anti-Semitism” in America today.

Well, today Trump got another question on the matter. The reporter brought up recent bomb threats against Jewish centers across the country and other anti-Semitic acts going on. Trump immediately scolded the reporter, told him to sit down, and said, “I am the least anti-Semitic person that you’ve ever seen in your entire life.”

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt and ADL National Chair Marvin Nathan issued the following statement in response:

On two separate occasions over the past two days, President Trump has refused to say what he is going to do about rising anti-Semitism or to even condemn it. It is mind-boggling why President Trump prefers to shout down a reporter or brush this off as a political distraction. This is not a partisan issue. It’s a potentially lethal problem — and it’s growing.

In light of the bomb scares, online harassment, physical vandalism, death threats and other hate crimes, there is a simple question at hand that Americans of all faiths deserve an answer to – what is the Trump Administration going to do about the recent surge of anti-Semitism? What concrete steps will the White House take to address intolerance?

We are going to keep asking these questions – and urge others in the press and public to do so as well – until we get a clear answer from our President.

Trump clashes with Jewish reporter over anti-Semitism question


Toward the end of a 77-minute press conference, Trump searched the room “to find a friendly reporter,” before landing on Jake Turx of Ami Magazine, a Jewish publication.

“What we are concerned about and what we haven’t really heard you address is the uptick in anti-Semitism and how you intend to take care of it,” the reporter said, citing statistics that indicated a recent rise in anti-Semitic acts.

Turx prefaced his question by saying he hasn’t seen “anyone in my community accuse either yourself or anyone on your staff of being anti-Semitic.”“See he said he was going to ask a very simple question and it’s not,” Trump shot back.

“It’s not a simple or fair question. Sit down, I understand the rest of your question.”

Here Are Your Highlights of Today's Trump Press Meltdown

To be honest, I inherited a mess. It’s a mess. At home and abroad, a mess....I just want to let you know, I inherited a mess....ISIS has spread like cancer — another mess I inherited....And you look at Schumer and the mess that he’s got over there and they have nothing going.

Fact check: Delusional. Trump inherited an economy in pretty good shape. Crime has steadily decreased over the past decade. ISIS is losing ground and close to defeat. Illegal immigration has been stable for many years. Test scores for schoolkids are up. Fewer than a dozen American soldiers have died in combat in the past year. Obamacare has cut the number of people without health insurance almost in half. The budget deficit is down to 3 percent of GDP. After years of stagnation, wages are finally starting to go up. Unemployment and inflation are both low.

I put it out before the American people, got 306 electoral college votes....270 which you need, that was laughable. We got 306 because people came out and voted like they’ve never seen before so that’s the way it goes. I guess it was the biggest electoral college win since Ronald Reagan.



Fact check: Also delusionial. He got 304 electoral votes, and Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, and Obama all did better.

We’ve begun preparing to repeal and replace Obamacare....I know you can say, oh, Obamacare. I mean, they fill up our rallies with people that you wonder how they get there, but they are not the Republican people our that representatives are representing.

Fact check: Plausible! Trump and the Republicans in Congress probably do think they represent only Republicans.

The leaks are real. You’re the one that wrote about them and reported them, I mean the leaks are real. You know what they said, you saw it and the leaks are absolutely real. The news is fake because so much of the news is fake.

Fact check: Huh?

If the information coming from those leaks is real, then how can the stories be fake?

The reporting is fake. Look, look...You know what it is? Here’s the thing. The public isn’t — you know, they read newspapers, they see television, they watch. They don’t know if it’s true or false because they’re not involved. I’m involved. I’ve been involved with this stuff all my life. But I’m involved. So I know when you’re telling the truth or when you’re not. I just see many, many untruthful things.

Fact check: True. Trump almost certainly does see many, many untruthful things.

I mean, I watch CNN, it’s so much anger and hatred and just the hatred. I don’t watch it any more....Well, you look at your show that goes on at 10 o’clock in the evening. You just take a look at that show. That is a constant hit....Now, I will say this. I watch it. I see it. I’m amazed by it.

Fact check: Schrödinger's cat. Trump both watches and doesn't watch CNN.

We had Hillary Clinton try and do a reset. We had Hillary Clinton give Russia 20 percent of the uranium in our country. You know what uranium is, right? This thing called nuclear weapons like lots of things are done with uranium including some bad things.

Fact check: Half true. No, Hillary Clinton didn't give Russia any uranium. (She was one of many who approved a deal for the Russian atomic energy agency to buy a Canadian company that controls 20 percent of the US uranium reserves. But none of it can exported outside the US.) However, it is true that bad things can be done with uranium.

QUESTION: Let’s talk about some serious issues that have come up in the last week that you have had to deal with as president of the United States. You mentioned the vessel — the spy vessel off the coast of the United States.

TRUMP: Not good.

QUESTION: There was a ballistic missile test that many interpret as a violation of an agreement between the two countries; and a Russian plane buzzed a U.S. destroyer.

TRUMP: Not good.

....QUESTION: So when you say they’re not good, do you mean that they are...
TRUMP: Who did I say is not good?

QUESTION: No, I read off the three things that have recently happened. Each one of them you said they’re not good.

TRUMP: No, it’s not good, but they happened.

QUESTION: But do they damage the relationship? Do they undermine...

TRUMP: They all happened recently.

Fact check: True. These are all things that happened recently.

JAKE TURX, A REPORTER FOR A SMALL ULTRA-ORTHODOX JEWISH PUBLICATION: Despite what some of my colleagues may have been reporting, I haven’t seen anybody in my community accuse either yourself or anyone on your staff of being anti-Semitic. We understand that you have Jewish grandchildren. You are their zaidy. However, what we are concerned about, and what we haven’t really heard being addressed, is an uptick in anti-Semitism and how the government is planning to take care of it... There has been a report out that 48 bomb threats have been made against Jewish centers all across the country in the last couple of weeks. There are people who are committing anti-Semitic acts or threatening to...

TRUMP: he said he was gonna ask a very simple, easy question. And it’s not, its not, not — not a simple question, not a fair question. OK sit down, I understand the rest of your question.

So here’s the story, folks. Number one, I am the least anti- Semitic person that you’ve ever seen in your entire life. Number two, racism, the least racist person....See, he lied about — he was gonna get up and ask a very straight, simple question, so you know, welcome to the world of the media. But let me just tell you something, that I hate the charge, I find it repulsive.

I hate even the question because people that know me and you heard the prime minister, you heard Ben Netanyahu yesterday, did you hear him, Bibi? He said, I’ve known Donald Trump for a long time and then he said, forget it. So you should take that instead of having to get up and ask a very insulting question like that.

Fact check: Incoherent. Turx explicitly tried to assure Trump that nobody thought he was anti-Semitic, but Trump's skin is so thin that he immediately decided Turx was calling him a racist and an anti-Semite. I wonder why?

By the way,

the entire point of this press conference seemed to be directed at one thing: accusing the press of being horrible and dishonest.

This came up in nearly every Trump answer. This is a great strategy for shoring up his base, of course. As near as I can tell, conservatives all thought this dumpster fire of a press conference was a terrific performance.

White House dismisses 6 over failed background checks

Several White House staffers were dismissed Thursday morning after failing FBI background checks, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Some of the aides were "walked out of the building by security" on Wednesday after not passing the SF86, a Questionnaire for National Security Positions for security clearance.

Among those who won't be working at the White House was President Donald Trump’s director of scheduling, Caroline Wiles, the daughter of Susan Wiles, Trump’s Florida campaign director and former chief of staff to Governor Rick Scott.

Wiles, who resigned Friday before the background check was completed, was appointed deputy assistant secretary before the inauguration in January. Two sources close to Wiles said she will get another job in Treasury.

She's among others who failed to pass the intensive background check, which includes questions on the applicant's credit score, substance use and other personal subjects.

Trump family’s elaborate lifestyle is a ‘logistical nightmare’ — at taxpayer expense

Barely a month into the Trump presidency, the unusually elaborate lifestyle of America’s new first family is straining the Secret Service and security officials, stirring financial and logistical concerns in several local communities, and costing far beyond what has been typical for past presidents — a price tag that, based on past assessments of presidential travel and security costs, could balloon into the hundreds of millions of dollars over the course of a four-year term.

Trump’s three Mar-a-Lago trips since the inauguration have probably cost the federal treasury about $10 million, based on figures used in an October government report analyzing White House travel, including money for Coast Guard units to patrol the exposed shoreline and other military, security and staffing expenses associated with moving the apparatus of the presidency.

Palm Beach County officials plan to ask Washington to reimburse tens of thousands of dollars a day in expenses for deputies handling added security and traffic issues around the cramped Florida island whenever Trump is in town.

(Trash will stiff them like he did his casino contractors)

In New York, the city is paying $500,000 a day to guard Trump Tower, according to police officials’ estimates, an amount that could reach $183 million a year.

This month, The Post reported that Secret Service and U.S. Embassy staffers paid nearly $100,000 in hotel-room bills to support Eric Trump’s trip to promote a Trump-brand condo tower in Uruguay.

Gallup averages survey results from the previous three days. Through Thursday, the most recent numbers available, 56 percent of respondents disapproved of Trump's performance, while just 38 percent approved.

That’s an 18 percent net drop since the poll started tracking the new President's numbers. Trump started, on Jan. 22, with his approval and disapproval numbers tied at 45 percent,

How could things get worse for Trump?

"President Trump is flailing like a man who fears he’s about to go under..."

President Trump is flailing like a man who fears he’s about to go under, and he hasn’t even been in office a full month. His instinct is to flee to the warmth and comfort of his political base — but he will learn that while presidents can run, they can’t hide.

Trump’s administration faces two acute, interlocking crises:

serious questions about his campaign’s contacts with official and unofficial representatives of the Russian government, which U.S. intelligence agencies believe made concerted efforts to help Trump win the election;

and

appalling levels of dysfunction in the White House that make self-inflicted wounds the rule rather than the exception.

It is unclear whether Trump is trying to fool the nation or fool himself.

Who is in charge?

Chief of Staff Reince Priebus has yet to establish any reasonable sense of order or any effective process for making decisions.

Chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon and senior adviser Stephen Miller cons ute a competing power center and were responsible for the shoddily drafted travel and refugee ban that was blocked by the courts.

Counselor Kellyanne Conway goes on television and speaks confidently for the administration but increasingly is out of the loop — as when she said that Trump had “full confidence” in Flynn just hours before his dismissal.

Press secretary Sean er struggles daily to reconcile Trump’s pronouncements with objective reality.

No communications director has been hired. Who would take the job?

Among Trump’s inner circle, only senior adviser Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, seems to be having a relatively positive impact. Yes, this administration has reduced me to applauding nepotism.
Trump said Thursday that his administration was running like “a fine-tuned machine.” A crash-test simulator, perhaps?

I guess things could be worse. Don’t ask me how.

Trash has the syndrome for untreated "neuro-syphilis"

Trump’s ‘bizarre, volatile behavior’ could be from untreated syphilis: infectious disease doctor

On Friday, The New Republic published an essay by infectious disease specialist Steven Beutler who believes that Pres. Trump may well be suffering from dementia but that the cause could be clinical rather than psychological.

“Given our experience, we can’t help but wonder if there’s a medical diagnosis to be made.

After all, many medical conditions exhibit their first symptoms in the form of psychiatric issues and personality changes. One condition in particular is notable for doing so: Neurosyphilis.”

“the infection enters a prolonged latent phase, which can last decades. During this time, it is asymptomatic and it is not contagious. In some cases, this is followed by a tertiary stage, which is the most serious and may involve any organ in the body. It is seen 10 to 30 years after the initial infection, and is best known for

causing neurologic and neuropsychiatric disease: Neurosyphilis.”
Neurosyphilis symptoms can manifest in an array of ways depending upon the patient.

“Commonly recognized symptoms include

irritability,

loss of ability to concentrate,

delusional thinking, and

grandiosity,”

said Beutler.

“Memory, insight, and judgment can become impaired.

Insomnia may occur.

Visual problems may develop, including the inability of pupils to react to the light.

This, along other ocular pathology, can result in photophobia, dimming of vision, and squinting.

All of these things have been observed in Trump.

Dementia, headaches, gait disturbances. and patchy hair loss can also be seen in later stages of syphilis.”

We know Trump was potentially exposed to syphilis based on

his own statements that he was sexually promiscuous in the 1980s, a period when syphilis cases were rapidly increasing in the U.S.,”

Two simple blood tests would clear up the question, Beutler said.

If they’re both negative, Trump doesn’t have neurosyphilis.

If one is negative and one is positive, then further tests including a spinal tap are in order.

“Without treatment, however, the disease is progressive: It can make for a rather ugly end to one’s life. Whether Trump emerged unscathed from his ‘personal Vietnam’ is now a question that he should explore with his personal physician.”

Presidents, upon taking office and annually, have a full medical exam at Bethesda Naval center, IIRC. And the results are published.

Where are the results of Trash's medical exam?

More than 200 Republicans in Congress are skipping February town halls with cons uents

this year most Republicans are foregoing a hallowed recess tradition: holding in-person town halls where lawmakers take questions from cons uents in a high school gym, local restaurant, or college classroom.

After outpourings of rage at some early town halls — including crowds at an event near Salt Lake City yelling “Do your job!” at Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight Committee — many Republicans are ducking in-person events altogether.

Instead they’re opting for more controlled Facebook Live or “tele-town halls,” where questions can be screened by press secretaries and followups are limited — as are the chances of becoming the next viral meme of the Left.

For the first two months of the new Congress, the 292 Republicans have scheduled just 88 in-person town hall events — and 35 of those sessions are for Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin,

In the first two months of the previous Congress in 2015, by contrast, Republicans held 222 in-person town hall events.

Republicans who get roughed up at their town halls have taken to dismissing the attendees as professional organizers.

“Record everything!”

“Unfavorable exchanges caught on video can be devastating for [members of Congress],” they write.

“These clips can be shared through social media and picked up by local and national media.”

Tea party protesters did this in opposition to Obamacare during the 2009 summer recess.

Conservatives, feel free to speak up for the Cons ution anytime the mood strikes. It is time

Scarborough was also correct that it has been disgraceful that so many

Republicans who claim to love the Cons ution have kept their mouths shut and sat on their hands while Trump has trampled a do ent that they claim to cherish and defend.
