When Trump Spouts Nonsense And Hillary Cites It...

The Times takes on Trump, Hillary and the possibly-changing politics of gun control. However, this bit is weird:

Whereas President Obama soft-pedaled gun control in both his national runs, Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee, is signaling a greater appetite to clash with Mr. Trump on the issue

In a Twitter message last week, Mrs. Clinton said that Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, would force schools “to allow guns in classrooms on his first day in office.”

FACT: Donald Trump would force schools to allow guns in classrooms on his first day in office. https://t.co/Y1YSjDDUXC

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) May 14, 2016

And you can follow the link to a non-discussion of the issue.

Evan a casual student of the Constitution might wonder just how a President (other Than Obama Unbound) might force schools to do anything on his first day. The Times wondered too:

A statement on gun rights was one of the first detailed policy papers Mr. Trump issued last year after announcing his candidacy.

He accused Mrs. Clinton this month of seeking to “abolish the Second Amendment.” And just as Mr. Trump argues that casualties from the terrorist attacks in Paris last year would have been lower if civilians had been armed, he has proposed abolishing gun-free zones at military bases and at schools.

“I will get rid of gun-free zones on schools, and — you have to — and on military bases,” he said on the campaign trail in January. “My first day, it gets signed, O.K.? My first day. There’s no more gun-free zones.”

A federal law from the 1990s established gun-free school zones. It could not be reversed by executive order, as Mr. Trump seems to imply. (His campaign did not respond to a request for comment about his gun policies.)

“Trump would not be able to eliminate gun-free zones by executive order,” said Adam Winkler, a law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, and an expert on the Second Amendment. “That law can only be repealed by Congress.”

Well. When Hillary tweets "FACT: Donald Trump would.." does she mean it is a fact that he holds that aspiration, or a fact that he would actually do it? More accurate phrasing would be "Trump wants to..." but accuracy is not a close companion of either of the leading candidates.

That said, I would bet that as Commander-in-Chief Trump could change the rules at military bases by the power of his office. (Is it called an Executive Order when he commands the Pentagon, or something else? IDK.)

The Times also flags a topic where Trump's disregard for Constitutional niceties leads him to Obama-style logic:

One area in which Mr. Trump does part ways with gun rights activists is on preventing people on the government’s terrorist watch list from buying weapons.

“If somebody is on a watch list and an enemy of state and we know it’s an enemy of state, I would keep them away, absolutely,” he said in an interview with ABC News last year.

Hmmph. We need judicial oversight to over-ride protections against search and seizure or wiretapping, but not a restriction to our Second Amendment rights? Nonsense, but exactly the sort of nonsense Hillary would endorse, so Trump is no worse.

IF I WERE ADVISING TRUMP... Now, what would Hillary say if Trump came out in favor of people identifying as gun nuts using whatever school bathroom they wanted, and taking a gun into it? Yeah, that's my question...

[Marlene]

Dave,I saw your post about Bill Weld running as Gary Johnson's VP candidate. One of the daughter's first summer jobs was working in the mail room at the State House in Boston. She was able to live rent free with an aunt and uncle and take public transportation,so we agreed to send grocery money so she wouldn't starve.
I thought Bill Weld was long gone from the political scene.

[Bubba The Rapist]

"FACT: Donald Trump would force schools to allow guns in classrooms on his first day in office."

I assume that is a pro-Trump ad. I'm pretty sure the Sandy Hook kids would have been better off if teachers & admin were armed. Criminals/crazies don't care about "no gun" signs.

[Marlene]

I meant to say while Weld was governor.

[daddy]

Watching discussion of the Egypt-Air scenario and discussion of why or why not didn't the pilots say anything.

Again, just a minor point. Usually in a movie you see guys wearing stuff like this:

He's wearing a radio headset and has the microphone right in front of his mouth. When you are wearing that headset, with the microphone position in that position, all you have to do is pull or push a switch on the yoke or on 1 or 2 other easy to reach locations to transmit (and in some planes you can actually make it constantly a hot mike---meaning it automatically picks up whatever you say without having to press any buttons.)

US Commercial Pilots generally wear these standard radio headsets on the ground, on climb out to about 18,000 feet, and likewise also on descent by no later than 18,000 feet coming down hill.

But at altitude, generally, nobody or very few folks wear this headset. There it is long periods, frequently hours of simply flying level with minor turns and few radio calls, so the head set comes off for comfort, and you switch to listening via the overhead cockpit speakers and picking up a hand held microphone when you want to transmit:
It usually takes a few seconds to reach down and pick up the hand held mike from wherever it is sitting, put it to your lips, and start transmitting.

So chances are, that if you were this Egypt Air Crew at 37,000 feet, and something horrendous happened, you would not have a microphone strapped to your mouth that you could instantly transmit from by pulling a switch on the yoke. Instead you are probably immediately reaching and gripping the yoke or the throttles, almost in immediate gag reflex fashion, to deal with whatever horrendous thing just happened, and not even thinking about taking a hand off of one of the controls to pick up a mike or put on a headset.

I mention this because that point is not made clear at all from the talking heads I'm seeing.

Transmitting to ATC is way down the list of things needing to be done immediately, and knowing that the microphones are very probably not on the pilots head at cruise is another reason for not being surprised that transmission in such cases aren't immediately forthcoming.

On the other hand my guess is that MannyT, in his small private plane, probably always has a headset on.

BTW, at cruise you also aren't wearing the shoulder straps to keep you secure in your seat like the 2 guys in the pictures above are wearing. Those straps are also a pain in the rear. The Lap seat belt is always worn, but the shoulder straps as in the pics are usually taken off almost immediately during climb out, and are not put back on until beginning of descent.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

He might not be able to eliminate gun free zones but he could sure threaten schools with loss of Federal funds if they're enforced locally or by states and he could choose not to enforce them at the Federal level.

A little bird told me the Dems have absolutely no problem when the executive does those things for worthy causes.

[Porchlight]

“Trump would not be able to eliminate gun-free zones by executive order,” said Adam Winkler, a law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, and an expert on the Second Amendment. “That law can only be repealed by Congress.”

Ah, the quaint days when only Congress could do things.

[Porchlight]

Ding ding ding ding Iggy @5:41....

[JM Hanes]

Just because there's always another reason to despise the NYTimes, I stumbled across this article on a google search, today. It's a sort of Scalia obituary postscript:

WASHINGTON — Antonin Scalia was the longest-tenured justice on the current Supreme Court and the country’s most prominent constitutionalist. But another quality also set him apart: Among the court’s members, he was the most frequent traveler, to spots around the globe, on trips paid for by private sponsors.

When Justice Scalia died two weeks ago, he was staying, again for free, at a West Texas hunting lodge owned by a businessman whose company had recently had a matter before the Supreme Court.

I can just imagine the editorial brainstorming behind assigning this story.

[daddy]

We complain when the threads get too old. We complain when there are too many threads. We're never happy.

I'm happy when I'm complaining:)

Thanks TM.

I'm also happy to see the Yankee's are giving you plenty to happily complain about this season.

Yesterday we vote to allow citizens to sue Saudi Arabia for 9/11.

I think I mentioned previously that Scalia brought Kagan along on a pronghorn and muley hunt on my friends family ranch in Wyoming.
Don't know whether he hunted for free or not but he got great reviews as a guest.

[clarice]

Does the article say who else was "among the most frequent travelers"around the globe. I think Ginsburg is certainly one of them. she keeps traveling abroad to talk about how the SCOTUS should pay more attention to foreign law.

You are right about keeping the headsets on in MT's aircraft, not nearly as quiet as a big bird.

Somebody needs to explain to the talking heads that there is no way an air traffic controller is going to fly the airplane for you.

[Joan]

daddy at 1:01 pm, (prior thread, I think...I'm catching up) :) "And how many Billions does it cost to fire up some 1950's era DDT trucks?"

Exactly! I've thought the same thing every time I've heard on the news that the Republicans won't give the president his billions to fight Zika.

[daddy]

Among the court’s members, he (Scalia) was the most frequent traveler, to spots around the globe, on trips paid for by private sponsors.

First dog Bo is airlifted to Obama holiday home

Bo, the president's Portuguese Water Dog, arrived separately on one of two MV-22 Ospreys, a hybrid aircraft which takes off like a helicopter but flies like a plane.

Just for interest, "IN THE MUSLIM RELIGION, DOGS ARE UNCLEAN AND NOT ALLOWED TO TRAVEL IN THE SAME VEHICLE AS THE MUSLIM." Don't know if that applies to airplanes.

I've also thought: They eradicated malaria, yellow fever, and dengue in US. I looked at Wikipedia and it lists other diseases that I've never heard of that mosquitoes can carry that are not rampaging across the US: Japanese encephalitis, Saint Louis encephalitis, Western equine encephalitis, Eastern equine encephalitis, Venezuelan equine encephalitis.
However in the past few years, we have had one or two cases, maybe deaths, of West Nile Virus in our state the last couple of summers.
BUT, everyone I know wears Off, or its equivalent, Avon's Skin So Soft which does a good job of repelling mosquitoes and ticks, uses citronella candles outside on patio, plus the simple trick of using fans outside on patio (the bugs don't like the breeze).
AND, last but not least, public service announcements remind us every spring and summer, mosquitoes can breed in one inch of water -- keep a vigilant eye on anything that catches and holds water.

I did see that guy that saved us from Ebola, (can't remember his name, but he's Obama's appointee) say it is estimated that the little children born with microcephaly will cost $10 million each to care for. The children and their families have all of my sympathy and compassion, but prevention is the answer to this problem.

[James D.]

THeo asked in the last threat what my serious response is to Dem lawlessness (and, worse, lawlessness using the law itself as a weapon).

If I were in a position of power and wealth, I would retaliate against the families of the Dem lawmakers and lobbyists and activists who agitate for and pass such laws.

For something like the campus rape bill, if I had Koch or Soros money, I would hire investigators to visit the campuses where Dem congresspeople send their children. I would authorize those investigators to offer money in return for stories of the Dem kids behaving inappropriately, engaging in drunken hook-ups, taking drugs, anything that could get them hauled in front of one of the campus kangaroo courts that the Democrats have encouraged and legislated for. I would do everything possible to encourage anonymous accusations against those Dem children. I would pay accusers under the table, if necessary. I would do everything in my power to get the stories into the news.

I would turn the lives of those Dem children into a nightmare and wreck their lives, if possible.

That sounds monstrous. But do you think Kirsten Gillenbrand has ever lost even one second of sleep over the humiliations of falsely-accused students who fell afoul of her (completely made-up) pet cause? Do you think any Democrat has ever shed a tear for the parents who saw a $100,000 investment in their child's education destroyed, and that child marked forever on the Internet because of a false accusation?

No.

The only way to stop them is to bring the cost home to them. Get their children expelled. Get them on the front page of the Post as an accused sex offender. Put the lurid and pathetic details of their child's sex life on display, as the lives of private citizens have been displayed thanks to their laws and policies.

Maybe, if there is a sufficient personal cost to them, the Dems will step back from their madness and take steps towards rejoining the world of decent, civilized people. If not, there are tens of thousands of criminal laws that could be applied to their children, their spouses, their siblings, their closest friends, and over time some of those people are sure to find themselves in jurisdictions governed by conservatives.

An eye for an eye.

I rise to request the JOM privilege of shamelessly announcing the accomplishments of any child of a JOM Poster in good standing. I am delighted to report that YL2 is now officially Dr. YL2 having graduated last night from Columbia Physicians & Surgeons with four prizes all related to academic achievement! No. I'm not proud. Not at all.

Followers here know that this is the "non traditional path" daughter, having gone from high school directly into full time professional ballet, living in an apartment by herself while her peers were moving into freshman dorms at college. She performed with her companies across the country and around the world. Upon finally settling down to dance mostly in NYC, she started taking classes as her dance schedule permitted at Columbia, eventually earning her degree (Summa; Phi Beta Kappa). At that point she hanged up her slippers and entered med school full time until the send off last night. She is 31 and preparing, with her mother staying in NY to help, to move to Boston to commence the slave-labor part of becoming a doctor.

Please return now to the regular programming...

I remember how expensive and how much security was required for that fool Kerry to do the stupid bicycle ride in Europe where he fell off and broke his leg---that had to be hundreds of thousands if not more. Just to stop at some stupid bike sho and say hey to the owner, instead of sending some flunky to get whatever part he wanted, the paper reported he used an enormous team of SS Agents to scour the block and the premises, and block traffic, etc. He should be hung.

daddy,

According to some reports Air Egypt was on a descent vector, 40 minutes out and 10 miles from home country airspace. So, who knows their protocol, they could have sets on. But you are correct. If I remember correctly from my crew days: You first take care of the situation, then the plane, then you communicate.

Of course if it is an on-board boomer there is no time to do anything.

Also, that particular plane was on a multi-leg run. Don't know the other ports of call but speculation is that the bomb could have been planted in any of them.

[Buckeye]

daddy

I posted the following a week or so ago, mostly for your amusement, but I am guessing you were driving back from France:

More on the continuing saga of Mrs. Buckeye's adventures with ancestry.com

And I blame most of this on daddy....

When I mentioned here that we discovered Injun blood in my family and that I was a descendant of "Granny Hopper", daddy correctly pointed out that meant I was a descendant of Moytoy, Chief of the Cherokee Nation.

No small honor to be sure, and I am humbled.

Now Mrs. Buckeye has been digging deeper in her ancestry, not to be outdone, as that is just consistent with her competitive nature.

And lo and behold, she discovers a Great Grandpa (don't know how many generations back) with the last name Griffith. He was the first of his family to come to the "new world" sometime early 17th century.

And one only has to go back 4 generations and his Great Grandma was Catherine Cary, illegitimate daughter of Mary Boleyn and Henry VIII.

Seems he got bored with Anne.

So I ask Mrs. Buckeye if that means I need to refer to her as "your highness"

She says no, just bow;)

But that isn't the best part....she does a bit more research about the Boleyns and finds that before the hookup with Henry VIII, Anne and Mary went to France to hang out with King Francis, and supposedly Mary had a fling with him also.

Francis said of Mary "una grandissima ribalda, infame sopra tutte" ("a great slut, infamous above all").

I ask if that meant I didn't need to bow;)

It couldn't be better if I was making this up!

Did you think YL2 at Columbia was rememebered by his fellow students? I mean if I go to his surgery and see his sheepskins in the wall, can I ask him the name and phone number of his friends so they can vouch for him?

Sounds crazy, doesn't it. But then he is only saving lives not running a country of 330 million souls.

But enough jackass levity. You and Mrs. OL have done one hellva job. Just like daddy with his little brains, marlene with her political insider, CathyF with her brainiac future nuclear physicist, and all the other JOMer's who I know I am forgetting for raising very special kids who are making the future more bright.
