John Paul Stevens: Repeal the Second Amendment | 27 March 2018 | (New York Times editorial) Rarely in my lifetime have I seen the type of civic engagement schoolchildren and their supporters demonstrated in Washington and other major cities throughout the country this past Saturday...That support is a clear sign to lawmakers to enact legislation prohibiting civilian ownership of semiautomatic weapons, increasing the minimum age to buy a gun from 18 to 21 years old, and establishing more comprehensive background checks on all purchasers of firearms. But the demonstrators should seek more effective and more lasting reform. They should demand a repeal of the Second Amendment. [John Paul Stevens is a retired associate justice of the United States Supreme Court.]

Q&A: Strange moments in Schrier hostage story
The most surprising things 60 Minutes producer Graham Messick learned reporting on Matt Schrier, an American who was kidnapped by terrorists in SyriaWHILE MATT SCHRIER STORY HAS BEEN REPORTED ELSEWHERE, BELOW ORIGINATED ON FOX NEWS = FAKE NEWS SO IT'S DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THE VERACITY [THIS VERSION IS ALSO PROMOTED ON BREITBART, THE WACK-A-DING ALT-RIGHT SITE]:
American who escaped Al Qaeda captivity says FBI, under Mueller and Comey, betrayed him | 26 March 2018 | After he escaped from Al Qaeda in Syria, American photojournalist Matt Schrier investigated his own kidnapping and uncovered what he describes as a pattern of "betrayal" by FBI agents handling his case. Schrier is now asking hard questions of former FBI Director Robert Mueller, who now leads the special counsel Russia probe, and former FBI Director James Comey who was fired by President Trump in May 2017. In an exclusive cable interview that first aired Monday on "The Story." Schrier went in depth, sharing emails, fin-ncial records and formal letters of complaint, which backed up allegations that after he was taken hostage in 2012, the FBI monitored his accounts as Al Qaeda terrorists used his mon-y to get at least a dozen computers and tablets.

-- Jared Kushner’s real estate company routinely filed false paperwork to push vulnerable tenants out of its apartment buildings in New York City — clearing several properties and turning huge profits as a result, the Associated Press reports. Avi Selk has more: “[Kushner] was in charge of the company between 2013 and 2016, when the company allegedly filed at least 80 false applications for construction permits … The company stated on the paperwork that no tenants — in at least 34 buildings it owned ... were protected by special rules that would have prevented Kushner from raising rents or harassing residents to leave … [In reality], tax records showed that hundreds of tenants were protected by such rules. The AP cited three Queens buildings that the company bought in 2015 … inheriting as many as 94 rent-protected units. Most of those tenants had moved out two years later, when the company sold the three buildings for $60 million — ‘nearly 50 percent more than it paid,’ the AP wrote. By allegedly misleading the city, Kushner’s company was able to clear several buildings of tenants and resell the properties for huge profits.”
-- Koch-aligned groups are targeting Hispanic voters with positive messaging on conservative policies, including the GOP tax bill. The Boston Globe’s Annie Linskey reports: “[T]hey’re trying to prove that their key priority, the massive tax cut, should be popular with immigrant newcomers and the economically struggling. … They’re not just selling the tax cut, they’re providing a host of Spanish-language events infused with the free market, limited government philosophy the Kochs hope will appeal to Hispanics — and help them look past the many offensive comments made by the president. It’s a case, in other words, of the wealthiest GOP benefactors looking for ways to mop up after the GOP president.”

7 Years on, Sailors Exposed to Fukushima Radiation Seek Their Day in Court --Special investigation: US military personnel are sick and dying, and want the nuclear plant's designers and owners to take responsibility. | 09 March 2018 | ...There are currently 99 operating civilian nuclear reactors in the United States, and 22 of those are General Electric Mark 1 boiling-water reactors--the make and model identical to the three that melted down and exploded at Fukushima Daiichi. Based on a 1955 design, all but four of the US reactors have now been online for more than 40 years. All of them have the same too-small primary containment vessel, the same questionable alloys, the same bolted-on lid, the same safety systems, and (with one exception) the same vent "upgrade" that failed to prevent the tragic failures at the Japanese nuclear plant. Large US cities, such as Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC, are all closer to BWRs than Tokyo is to Fukushima Daiichi.
