Arizona GOP boss: Stop Senate candidate ‘dead in his tracks’ !
The Senate candidate in question is Mark Kelly, husband of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head back in 2011.
The email sent Thursday by Arizona GOP Chairman Kelli Ward highlighted his advocacy for gun control, a cause the retired astronaut took on after his wife and then-U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords survived a 2011 shooting in Tucson that killed six and injured more than a dozen.
“Support the Republican Party of Arizona today and, together, we’ll stop gun-grabber Mark Kelly dead in his tracks,” Ward wrote.
Some folks took exception to Mrs. Ward’s rhetoric:
“This dangerous rhetoric has absolutely no place in Arizona and is what’s wrong with our politics,” said Jacob Peters, a Kelly spokesman. “Mark Kelly is running for Senate to overcome this type of nasty divisiveness that does nothing for Arizonans.”
But of course, Mrs. Ward is the real victim here :
Ward defended her email on Twitter and blasted journalists for reporting on the controversy. She said she doesn’t wish Kelly any harm.
“Dishonest stories like this are dangerous and irresponsible!” she wrote.
:rolleyes:
Tell ya what, Ms Ward. Let’s see the journalists parse their reading of how your email was dangerous and irresponsible, while you parse how their reporting of it was dangerous and irresponsible.
Then we can see whose parsing took fewer steps to make sense, and decide the question that way.

Did y’all see this? Manager: Trump family building ‘dynasty’ for decades to come !
President Donald Trump’s campaign manager predicted Saturday that the president and his family will become “a dynasty that will last for decades,” transforming the Republican Party while hewing to conservative values.
Speaking to a convention of Republican Party delegates in Indian Wells, California, Brad Parscale also said the campaign’s goal is to build a national army of 2 million trained volunteers, far beyond the president’s 2016 organization, that in California could help the GOP retake a string of U.S. House seats captured by Democrats last year.
“The Trumps will be a dynasty that will last for decades, propelling the Republican Party into a new party,” he said. “One that will adapt to changing cultures. One must continue to adapt while keeping the conservative values that we believe in.”
Parscale later declined to elaborate on his prediction of a coming Trump “dynasty,” or whether the president’s children could become candidates for public office.
He told reporters after the speech, “I just think they are a dynasty. I think they are all amazing people with … amazing capabilities.”

Have Brad Parscale and Baghdad Bob ever been seen in the same room?
That’s too over-the-top ridiculous to be effective satire, but I do appreciate the production values in the video clip. I wonder how they got permission to use the actual graphics from the show, and found an impersonator who’s such a dead ringer for Laura Ingraham?
The G.O.P.’s War on Women’s Health Gets Results
The Trump administration’s recent efforts to undermine the nation’s Title X family planning program are already having their intended effect, making it harder for women’s health clinics to stay afloat and for patients to afford birth control and other services.
Three weeks after Planned Parenthood was effectively forced out of the Title X program, the group has announced that two of its clinics in the Cincinnati area will close this month — a fate that Planned Parenthood officials say was accelerated by the administration’s changes to Title X. Those changes include barring clinics that perform or even refer patients for abortions from receiving federal family planning dollars unless they jump through a near-impossible series of hoops.
Most of this damage has been done in the name of ending abortion in America, which is a folly of a mission, in any case. It isn’t possible to stop women from getting abortions; it’s only possible to stop them from getting legally procured ones.
But these new Title X changes make clear that these politicians have always been trying to do more than prevent abortions. These are attacks on women’s ability to control if and when they get pregnant. On their health and well-being. On some of the most vulnerable members of society.
As it happens, neither of the Ohio clinics that are about to close — one of which has served the community since 1977 — provides abortions. But they do help thousands of women prevent unwanted pregnancies — the best way to avoid needing an abortion.
If the Pro-Lifers are against abortion, then why aren’t they (except for the medievally backward Catholics) pro-birth control? Or pro-mammogram?
You’re expecting logic where there is none. They’re more interested in foisting their religious beliefs on others.
I know, I know.

Well this news won’t make Mr. Ross any happier: NOAA scientist: agency likely broke science integrity rules :
The acting chief scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said his agency likely violated its scientific integrity rules last week when it publicly chastised a weather office that contradicted President Donald Trump’s claim that Hurricane Dorian threatened Alabama.
Two top NOAA civil servants not so quietly revolted against an unsigned agency press release issued late Friday rebuking the Birmingham weather office for saying Alabama was safe. The agency’s top scientist called Friday’s release “political” and the head of the National Weather Service said the Alabama office “did what any office would do to protect the public.”
“My understanding is that this intervention to contradict the forecaster was not based on science but on external factors including reputation and appearance, or simply put, political,” acting chief scientist and assistant administrator for ocean and atmospheric research Craig McLean wrote to staffers Sunday night.
In the email, first reported by The Washington Post, McLean said he is “pursuing the potential violations” of the agency’s science integrity policy.
NOAA spokesman Scott Smullen said Monday, “NOAA’s policies on scientific integrity and communications are among the strongest in the federal government, and get high marks from third party observers. The agency’s senior career leaders are free to express their opinions about matters of agency operations and science. The agency will not be providing further official comment, and will not speculate on internal reviews.”
McLean in his letter said the Birmingham staff “corrected any public misunderstanding in an expert and timely way as they should. There followed, last Friday, an unsigned press release from ‘NOAA’ that inappropriately and incorrectly contradicted the NWS forecaster.”
McLean said that the NOAA Scientific Integrity Policy tells all agency employees to “approach all scientific activities with honesty, objectively, and completely, without allegiance to individuals, organizations, or ideology.”
He said the Friday NOAA press release “compromises the ability of NOAA to convey life-saving information” and “violated NOAA’s policies of scientific integrity.”
Meanwhile, another career civil servant, National Weather Service Director Louis Uccellini said forecasters in Birmingham did the right thing Sept. 1 when they tried to combat public panic and rumors that Dorian posed a threat to Alabama.
“They did that with one thing in mind: public safety,” said Uccellini, who prompted a standing ovation at a meeting of the National Weather Association by asking members of the Birmingham weather staff to stand.

Right wing radio host Jesse Lee Peterson said that Andrew Yang should go back to China with his Communist ideas. When it was pointed out to him that Yang was born in Schenectady, New York, Peterson said that he should go back to Taiwan, where the people are having mass protests against the government. When it was pointed out to him that the protests are taking place in Hong Kong, Peterson said, “I can’t tell, they all look alike to me. Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Japan, what’s the difference?”
