The name City Elders is both a biblical reference and a description of the group’s focus on county seats as the planned locus of theocratic action. The group seeks to develop a permanent infrastructure to select and elect candidates for local entities such as school boards and county commissions, and then exert ongoing influence. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnNJTQP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvcXgwb2pndzE4bS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWZrdTBmNjF2bXcmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZUXRD1Jl-KlYYFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo). ~/AASU4wA~/RgRnNJTQP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMveW1ienQ4anF4cS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWZrdTBmNjF2bXdXA3NwY0IKZUXRD1Jl-KlYYFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRnNJTQP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvMDB0NGJkZzIwYS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWZrdTBmNjF2bXdXA3NwY0IKZUXRD1Jl-KlYYFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRnNJTQP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvdWl0c2RmNzNsbS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWZrdTBmNjF2bXdXA3NwY0IKZUXRD1Jl-KlYYFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRnNJTQP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvZGZvNTlsb2JtbS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWZrdTBmNjF2bXdXA3NwY0IKZUXRD1Jl-KlYYFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo “Covering him as a normal candidate”: Extremism scholars say TV news “normalizing” Trump’s threats The networks have become desensitized to Trump's frequent extreme comments even though they have covered such rhetoric in the past — like when Trump suggested the execution of Joint Chief of Staff head Mark Milley.

Flying is so miserable for so many of us in the U.S., the notion of fixing it barely seems an option. We recently talked to Sitaraman via video chat about why airlines are abandoning smaller cities, how deregulation led to narrower seats and why it's wise to prepare for the worst when you head out to the airport. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnNJTQP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvNnB1NDdsZnV6di8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWZrdTBmNjF2bXcmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZUXRD1Jl-KlYYFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo).
