Freedom of the press is not just important to democracy; it is democracy. Trump no. 94.

So the DHS agrees that yes, nigh on $10 m was transferred from FEMA to ICE.

Trump's trip may still include a visit to Doonbeg, judging from the White House's refusal to confirm yet that the whole Ireland trip is off. So far, appears only his visit to the Irish govt/Dublin is postponed.

The trip was supposed to include a visit to @realDonaldTrump's golf club in Doonbeg, Co. Clare, which has consistently lost money. (link: twitter.com/christinawilkie/status/1039551928441683968) twitter.com/christ

I believe it.

'As nearly a million people hit the road before Hurricane Florence nears the coast, 934 inmates and as many as 119 prison staff were ordered to stay behind despite a mandatory evacuation.

Despite an evacuation order encompassing the prison’s location in Jasper County issued Monday, S.C. Department of Corrections officials decided not to remove inmates at the Ridgeland Correctional Institution as of that afternoon, SCDC spokesman Dexter Lee said in an interview with The State.'

Now this is fascinating. I wonder if it's a sign Putin is rattled, that he feels the need to try this?

Hard to imagine the USSR leaders of old feeling so defensive they would put on such a show.

Skripal poisoning: Putin says suspects 'civilians, not criminals'
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-45494627

The two suspects in the poisoning of ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter are civilians, not criminals, Russian President Vladimir Putin says.

The UK government named them as Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, and said they were from Russia's military intelligence service, the GRU.

Mr Putin said his government had found the pair and he hoped they would appear soon and tell their story.

He's (secretly) glad he did though.

.... He has done so as one who served bravely in the two secret U.S. defense projects in which time travel on Earth and voyages to Mars were first undertaken.

Huh??
