The Senate approved a package of President Donald Trump’s judicial
nominees Thursday, notching another 15 confirmations just days after
Justice Brett Kavanaugh was installed on the U.S. Supreme Court.
The
confirmations came as half a dozen Democratic lawmakers, particularly
those in red states, were pressed to return home to defend their Senate
seats for the final stretch before the November midterm elections.
Condemnation from progressive interest groups was swift. “This
deal was totally unnecessary and it is a bitter pill to swallow so soon
after the Kavanaugh fight that so many progressive activists poured
their hearts and souls into,” said Chris Kang, chief counsel of Demand Justice,
a liberal advocacy group. “This period will be long remembered not just
for the historic number of judges Trump has been able to confirm, but
also because of how passive Democrats were in response.”

And a hardy "thank you" to the Dems for providing the GOP with the Nuclear Option that has made all this possible.
Re hurricanes, there is reality and, then, there is the Wasington Post.
Preface: before reading the excerpt from the Wa/Post, keep in mind that we only had two devastating hurricanes, this season, and only one was of the "rapid increase" variety, namely Michael. Florence was a very typical but monster Cat Three storm. What happened during the hurricane season (June through November)? Nothing of a news worthy nature. And now, the season is nearly over. Did you know that major storm violence has been on the decrease for the past 30 years? Michael is very much the exception, hardly a pattern event as is being suggested in the Post's article. In fact, in the 11 years since Katrina (2005), there have been only two Cat Three hurricanes in the Gulf. Things are NOT getting worse.
Wa/Post : The unforgettable thing about record-setting Hurricane Michael will always be how rapidly it became a near-Category 5 storm, perfectly timed for a sneak attack on the Florida Panhandle.
On Tuesday morning, Floridians knew a storm was coming but not how strong it would be. As of 5 a.m., Michael was a strong Category 1 hurricane with a minimum pressure of 973 millibars, a measure of atmospheric pressure indicating that air is rising in the storm, pulling winds toward its center. The official forecast took the storm up to mid-Category 3 at landfall.

Michael Love took it a step further and gave the Prez this awesome compliment:
Michael Love: Thank you President Trump. Thank you so much for supporting music. Historically I remember you tried your best to get Whitney Houston in some kind of shape. Yeah. I remember being in Mara Lago with this guy here. He had Ron Perlman come down. He tried, your best to help Whitney. And she’s not the only one you benefited and tried.
Trump is meeting with Kanye West and Kid Rock about prison reform. Hopefully this will add to his 36% approval rating with the Black Community.
President Donald Trump endorsed prison reform on Thursday, warning Attorney General Jeff Sessions to get on board with the idea.
Trump said he is interested in reducing sentences for people like Alice Marie Johnson, a nonviolent drug offender whose life sentence the president commuted in June.“There has to be a reform because it’s very unfair right now,” Trump said. “It’s very unfair to African Americans. It’s unfair to everybody. And it’s also very costly,” the president commented on Thursday morning in a phone interview with Fox & Friends.

Post Kavanaugh, the midterms may be a toss-up. Independents hate the Democrat tactics by a 28 point margin!
After a blistering confirmation
battle, Justice Brett Kavanaugh will take his seat for oral arguments on
the U.S. Supreme Court with a skeptical public, a majority of which
opposed his nomination.
However, Democrats may not be able to
exploit this fact in the upcoming elections as much as they hope,
because the independent voters overwhelmingly disapprove of their own
handling of the nomination by a 28-point margin, a new CNN/SSRS poll
finds.
Overall, just
Finally. Democrat leadership admitts to what they have been doing for 40 stinking years. Thank you Hillary MadDog Clinton,
CLINTON: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. And you heard how the Republican members led by Mitch McConnell, the president really demeaned the confirmation process.
