  • Interesting point made in live updating CNN Manhunt article:

    Here’s why authorities may be having a hard time finding Kirk’s killer, according to a chief CNN analyst From CNN’s Tori B. Powell

    A manhunt is still underway as law enforcement tries to find the person who fired the shot that killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk today.

    According to CNN Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst John Miller, the shooter’s planning, skill and execution may be complicating the search.

    He told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that snipers have been studied closely by the government and they typically are people who are “methodical and patient, self-reliant.”

    “This is the kind of person who would have planned to get in silently, try to be invisible, take this shot, accomplish the mission, take the gun with them and leave little evidence behind which is why I think they’re having a very difficult time getting started on this.”

    Officials said earlier today that they believe the shooter fired one shot at one person and that it was a targeted incident.

    The single fired shot shows that “the person is not new to shooting,” Miller said, which ultimately could help officials get to the bottom of the investigation.

    “This is someone who knew exactly what they were doing and is probably known to others, and this may be working to the advantage of law enforcement,” Miller said. “As someone who has a long history in shooting, this wasn’t an amateur.”

    So, dude takes his position, fires a single shot for the kill, and then disappears without a trace. Pretty impressive.









  • “Most of us are Trump voters, and we still believe in a leader who builds. That’s why we’re asking President Trump to reverse the stop-work order issued to Revolution Wind by Interior,” Yerman told Canary Media.

    . . .

    Yerman and other commercial fishermen remained quiet the last time Trump’s assault on a wind farm put them out of work. This time they’re speaking out.

    “It’s madness to stop a project that already had permits,” said Jack Morris, a Massachusetts-based scalloper and manager for Sea Services who voted for Trump. ​“This is not something any of us planned for: the captains, the crew, the shore engineers, the people we buy food from for our trips.”

    “Wait, wait! Trump isn’t supposed to hurt me, only the people I’ve been trained to hate!”




  • Make no mistake, this is a dress rehearsal for firing Powell. Trump is testing what he can do with the “for cause” language. If the Supreme Court is deferential, and willing to accept a broad definition of “for cause” and defer to the president to determine exactly what “cause” is sufficient to justify firing a Fed governor, you can 100% assume that firing Powell for “cause” relating to his remodel of the Fed buildings. In addition, if this firing sticks, Trump will end up with 4 of 7 Board of Governors appointees.
