Trump to nominate Stephen Dickson, a former Delta Airlines exec & pilot, to lead the FAA.
https://www.mprnews.org/story/2019/0...sharp-focus-onAccording to a White House statement, Dickson recently retired as the senior vice president for flight operations at Delta, where he was "responsible for the safety and operational performance of Delta's global flight operations, as well as pilot training."
In choosing Dickson to lead the agency, the White House has nominated a former pilot who has flown Boeing jets, including the 737, during his career at Delta and whom it calls "a strong advocate for commercial aviation safety and improvements to our National Airspace System, having served as chairman of several industry stakeholder groups and Federal advisory committees."
While democrats are focusing on Wisconsin & Iowa, Trump will focus his 2020 campaign on Ohio.
Perhaps no state has better illustrated the re-aligning effects of Trump's candidacy and presidency than Ohio, where traditionally Democratic-leaning working-class voters have swung heavily toward the GOP, and moderate Republicans in populous suburban counties have shifted away from Trump. It's for that reason, administration officials said, that Trump keeps returning to Ohio — this week's visit mark's his 10th to the state since taking office.
The visit is part of a 2020 Trump strategy to appear in battleground states in his official White House capacity as much as possible this year, said a person with knowledge of the plans who was not authorized to speak publicly. Trump is expected to make similar trips throughout the year as he seeks to boost enthusiasm to counter an energized Democratic base. It's a strategy employed by previous presidents, both to leverage the prestige of office for political purposes and to offset the steep costs of presidential campaign travel with corresponding taxpayer-funded events.
Trump is set to visit the Lima Army Tank Plant, which had been at risk for closure but is now benefiting from his administration's investments in defense spending. He'll also hold a fundraiser for his re-election campaign in Canton. Administration officials said the resurgence of the tank plant, which has benefited that region of the state, offers a compelling story for Trump to relate.
Trump losing his shit today. LOL

His recent attacks make me think he is preemptively trying to blame McCain for something.
Trump forgot to wish Barron a happy birthday today.
Shitty dad. At least his mom said something.
The power of the tweet...screw diplomacy, or decades of policy, or ramifications elsewhere, or anything rational really. Just tweet baby!

Better not comment about it, since apparently these days anything less than the utmost admiration for the state of Israel is antisemitic by the right now.
That's nothing new. Besides, I'm sure the phones and smart devices in my home have already sent my spoke disapproval of the state of Israel to any number of databases.

Trump to sign an EO that will force Universities to allow free speech or lose access to grant money. He cited an incident where a Turning Point USA recruiter was punched in the face while at Berkley, but neither the recruiter nor the guy punching attended the school.
The order tells federal agencies to work with Office of Management and Budget to ensure that colleges receiving research grants "promote free inquiry, including through compliance with all applicable federal laws, regulations and policies." White House officials say it will apply to more than $35 billion in grants.
Public universities pursuing federal funding would have to certify that they comply with the First Amendment, which already applies to them. Private universities, which have more flexibility in limiting speech, would need to commit to their own institutional rules.
How the government will enforce the order and what type of violation could trigger a loss of funding are still unclear. White House officials declined to provide specific examples and said implementation details will be finalized in coming months.
This EO will henceforth be known as, "Not in the face".

Uh, doing that in and of itself is a violation of the constitution.
But what if their speech advocates for boycotting Israel?
