I suspect he is on sound legal ground but I also believe he sees the riots that are taking place as helping him politically and perhaps, more importantly, turning public opinion against their brutal methods.

Cambria was one of 10 counties — part rural, part post-industrial, like Washington, Luzerne, and Erie counties — that helped Trump eke out a victory in Pennsylvania, the first GOP candidate to win the Keystone State since 1988. Republican-supporting voters turned out about 9% to 10% higher for Trump than they did for Romney, numbers that offset the larger Democrat-dominated populations of Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Harrisburg. For an outsider, this may not seem to be a big deal. A small population county flips Republican Who cares? Larger population counties, such as Chester County in suburban Philadelphia, are now marginally more Democratic than Republican. Isn’t that where the focus should be? The short answer is, "Maybe." The longer answer is that our political coalitions have changed and that our focus has been on the suburbs, the comfortable class.

Doubt Sasse's ideas will cause action to be taken. Make the Senate Great AgainTo restore the world’s greatest deliberative body, we need to think big.By Sen. Ben SasseWhat would the Founding Fathers think of America if they came back to life? Their eyes would surely bug out first at our technology and wealth. But I suspect they’d also be stunned by the deformed structure of our government. The Congress they envisioned is all but dead. The Senate in particular is supposed to be the place where Americans hammer out our biggest challenges debate. That hasn’t happened for decades—and the rot is bipartisan. Many on the left think the problem is the filibuster, which requires a super-majority to end debate and enact most legislation. But ending the filibuster would allow political parties to change the direction of the country dramatically with a succession of shifting 51-49 votes. That’s a path to even more polarization and instability. The Senate’s culture needs dramatic change aimed at promoting debate, not ending it. Here are some ideas: • Cut the cameras. Most of what happens in committee hearings isn’t oversight, it’s showmanship. Senators make speeches that get chopped up, shipped to home-state TV stations, and blasted across social media. They aren’t trying to learn from witnesses, uncover details, or improve legislation. They’re competing for sound bites. There’s one notable exception: The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the majority of whose work is done in secret. Without posturing for cameras, Republicans and Democrats cooperate on some of America’s most complicated and urgent problems. Other committees could follow their example, while keeping transparency by making transcripts and real-time audio available to the public. • Abolish standing committees. The Senate is supposed to be the world’s greatest deliberative body, but it operates on about 20 permanent fiefdoms. Dividing legislative work is important, but there’s no corporation that would tackle its problems by creating 20 permanent committees and running every decision through them. The Senate should instead create temporary two-year committees, each devoted to making real progress on one or two big problems. Committees should draw power from their accomplishments, not based on which industries need to supplicate before the gavel. • Pack the floor. Serious debate happens only if senators show up. Ninety-nine percent of the time you see a senator talking on the floor, he’s speaking to a chamber with somewhere between zero and two colleagues present. The Senate’s rules privilege the majority, which controls the agenda and floor time. Senators ought to be packed on the floor having real debates. We can do that by changing the rules to allow committees to control some floor time. Elections have consequences, so the majority leader should control the majority of the Senate’s time, but committees should be able to command specific times for specific debates. • Live together. A lot of time is spent demonizing the opposition, but most senators can get along quite well. Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii is as liberal as the day is long, but he’s my friend. Senators should live, eat, and meet in dormitories when the Senate is in session. It’s hard to demonize people you spend time with every day. • Cancel re-election. One of the biggest reasons Congress gives away its power to the executive branch is that it’s politically expedient for both parties to avoid the decisions that come from the work of legislating. Lawmakers are obsessed with staying in office, and one of the easiest ways to getting re-elected is by avoiding hard decisions. We ought to propose a constitutional amendment to limit every senator to one term, but we should double it from six years to 12. Senators who don’t have to worry about short-term popularity can work instead on long-term challenges. If that’s a bridge too far, at least ban fundraising while the Senate is in session in Washington. It’s an everyday experience to sit down at a $2,000-a-plate lunch fundraiser and then run over to make votes. Lobbying is protected by the First Amendment, but it shouldn’t be the primary focus of senators when we’ve got work to do. • Repeal the 17th Amendment. Ratified in 1913, it replaced the appointment of senators by state legislatures with direct election. Different states bring different solutions to the table, and that ought to be reflected in the Senate’s national debate. The old saying used to be that all politics is local, but today—thanks to the internet, 24/7 cable news and a cottage industry dedicated to political addiction—politics is polarized and national. That would change if state legislatures had direct control over who serves in the Senate. • Sunset everything. For decades Pennsylvania Avenue has been a one-way street, as authority flowed from Congress to the executive branch. When the unelected bureaucracy gets power, it doesn’t let go. We ought to end that by having the Senate create a “super committee” dedicated to reviewing all such delegations of power over the past 80 years and then proposing legislation to sunset the authority of entire bureaucracies on a rolling basis. Does, say, the Health and Human Services Department ever answer for its aggressive regulatory lawmaking? Of course not. Sunset all its authority in 12 months and watch lawmakers start to make actual laws. • Make a real budget. The power of the purse is Congress’s primary lever—and the area where Congress is most unserious. The budget process is completely broken, and every couple of months lawmakers are faced with a monumentally stupid decision: Shut the government down or spend 102% of what was spent last year, with no oversight. It’s an endless series of all-or-nothing brinkmanship fights—continuing resolutions, omnibus spending deals and debt-ceiling hikes. We ought to fix that with two-year budgeting that includes all federal spending, including on entitlements. We ought to end the distinction between appropriation and authorization. Legislation that authorizes federal action should also appropriate the money to pay for it. These aren’t partisan proposals, because congressional dysfunction isn’t a partisan problem. Lawmakers—Republicans and Democrats—don’t make laws. Over years, Congress made the choice to shirk its duty and cede power to the executive branch. Recovery will be hard, but it’s time for Congress build some muscle and figure out how to serve the American people by doing our constitutionally mandated jobs again.

Dems Prepare to Launch Mass Violence if If Biden Loses, Dems Are Preparing to Launch Mass Violence Read Here Will Trump get credit for bringing the prospect of possible peace closer to reality in The Middle East ? Did he prove leading from strength is preferable to weakness? Pollak: The Dream of Peace in Israel Is Becoming 11 Sep 2020 Something extraordinary is happening in the Middle East — and for once, it is something good. Over the past several weeks, Arab and Muslim countries have been stepping forward to offer peace and good relations with Israel. First there was the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which is establishing “full normalization” with the Jewish state, and will formalize an agreement at the White House later this month. Then there was Kosovo, which is establishing relations with Israel and putting an embassy in Jerusalem under the terms of a deal brokered by the Trump administration last week. Then Chad, a majority-Muslim nation, announced earlier this week that it will be putting an embassy in Jerusalem. Saudi Arabia announced that it will allow Israeli commercial flights above its airspace — not just to Dubai, but to all eastbound destinations. The Palestinian Authority tried to convince the Arab League to denounce the UAE’s peace deal. The Arab League And on Friday — the 19th anniversary of 9/11 — Bahrain announced that it, too, would normalize relations with Israel. It was a profound statement of peace, defying the efforts of terrorists to set the world on a path to endless religious war. Other nations, too, are stepping forward to improve ties with Israel: Serbia is moving its embassy to Jerusalem as part of the Serbia-Kosovo agreement, and the African nation of Malawi is following suit. The acceptance of a Jewish State in the Middle East by its Muslim and Arab neighbors is emboldening other countries to develop the closer links with Israel they have long desired but which they have feared to forge. More nations, both in the Middle East and beyond, are likely to follow suit in the coming weeks. This is a miraculous development, one that the foreign policy establishment in Washington, DC, said was impossible. But it is happening, thanks to President Donald Trump. Trump’s achievement is all the more remarkable given the history of the last two decades. Nineteen years ago, as terrorists attacked the Pentagon and the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, the Palestinians were already a year into the second intifada. They walked out of peace negotiations and began a campaign of suicide bombings that claimed thousands of lives. The left, and the foreign policy establishment, believed that resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was crucial to winning the war against terror. So President George W. Bush called for a Palestinian state, and created a “road map” peace. The Israelis accepted it. The Palestinians rejected it, and continued carrying out terror attacks, funded by Iran other regimes. Bush praised Israel for withdrawing from Gaza in 2005. But Palestinians did not move toward peace. Instead, they launched thousands of rockets. And when Barack Obama came to office, he and Biden pressured Israel to make more concessions. Trump set aside the dogma that insisted the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was the key obstacle to peace in the Middle East. He reversed the Obama-Biden policy of pressuring Israel to make concessions to a Palestinian Authority with no desire to negotiate. And he stood up to the Iranian regime, a common threat to the region. The shift began when Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, and moved the U.S. embassy there in 2018. The State Department and the Pentagon had opposed the move, warning of terrorism against American diplomatic missions. Nothing like that happened. Instead, the world was put on notice that America’s relationship with Israel is stronger than ever, and that it is based on a common Judeo-Christian spiritual tradition that sees the peace of Jerusalem as the path to peace on earth. At roughly the same time, President Trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal. The media had falsely portrayed Obama’s key foreign policy “achievement” as a win for peace. In fact, it only emboldened the regime further, allowing it to carry out terror and mayhem across the region with U.S. dollars. The deal did not stop Iran from developing nuclear-capable ballistic missiles, and did not even stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons in the long run. It virtually guaranteed future conflict. With new sanctions, Trump sided against Iran’s government and with the pro-democracy forces within the country. When Iran tried to goad the U.S. into war, hoping to isolate the Trump administration from its European allies, Trump did not take the bait. Instead, he pulled back from air strikes that would have caused civilian casualties, and launched a targeted strike against General Qasem Soleimani instead. The clear message: unlike Iran’s leaders, America cares about the Iranian people. These actions set the stage for Trump to introduce his peace plan for the region. It offered the Palestinian people a , but not a veto over progress for everyone else in the Middle East. The Palestinians could have political sovereignty, and billions of dollars in new foreign investment, but they would have to stop trying to destroy Israel first. When Mahmoud Abbas, 84 years old and in the 16th year of his first four- year term as president, leaves the scene, perhaps Palestinians will accept. Meanwhile, peace is breaking out all over the region. The Trump administration has been able to restart talks with the Taliban. More troops are coming home from Iraq. It is important to note that Biden, his advisers, the Democratic Party, and left-wing groups like J Street have opposed the Trump administration’s successful Middle East policy at every turn. Not one elected Democrat bothered to attend the opening of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem, or a party by the Israeli embassy in Washington to mark the occasion. The George Soros-backed J Street, which endorsed Biden, has poured on every nearly new peace deal with Israel. Biden claimed Thursday, absurdly, that President Trump has “put Israel in danger.” He fails to understand it was the Obama-Biden administration’s policies, especially the Iran deal, that put Israel in danger, emboldening Iran and Palestinian terror. Once the coronavirus pandemic eases, travel and commerce will soar within the Middle East. Muslim pilgrims will travel to Jerusalem to pray at the Al Aqsa mosque. Arab teenagers will surf the break at Herzliya. Israelis will party in Dubai and spend the High Holidays in Manama. Generations of Jews and Arabs will grow up together and build a better future. All of this is within reach — as long as we do not reverse course and return to Obama’s policy of appeasing Iran and radical Islam. American voters have a unique opportunity to ratify President Trump’s policy this November. Not only has he kept the U.S. out of more wars — and the troops are coming home — but he has also created a unique opportunity to achieve the dream of peace for Israel and the Jewish people. Joel B.
