Trump re-election campaign began 2019 with $19 million in cash
January 31, 2019
By Ginger Gibson
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump began the year with $19.2 million in campaign cash, a war chest that gives him a head start on Democrats lining up for the chance to run against the Republican in the 2020 White House race.
Trump raised $21 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, his campaign said on Thursday. Unlike any other president in the modern era, Trump filed for re-election on the day he took office in January 2017, instead of waiting the traditional two years. That allowed him to raise and spend campaign cash his entire term.
He is likely to far outpace the fundraising by Democrats who are just beginning to build campaigns. None of the Democratic candidates have yet been required to disclose their money hauls, although U.S. Senator Kamala Harris’ campaign said she raised $1.5 million in the 24 hours after she launched her run.
More than two dozen Democrats are expected to mount a campaign in hopes of winning the party’s nomination.
David Brock, a Democratic fundraiser who oversaw the largest Super PAC his party has backed, said Trump’s haul will make Democrats nervous.
“There is not going to be enough money in the system, whether its online or big dollars, to support more than six or eight candidates,” Brock told Reuters. “There is a disadvantage that Democrats have to raise money to fight each other first before you can raise a war chest to fight Trump.”
Some of the Democrats’ biggest donors are waiting to decide which candidate to back, Brock said.
“There is a lot less interest among donors on the ideological split as there is imagining the person who is best to stand up against Trump and really take the fight to him and just beat him,” Brock said.
Greg Berlin, a Democratic fundraiser at the firm Mothership Strategy, said he is confident Democrats will ultimately be able to compete with Trump’s cash levels.
“Whoever is the nominee will have well over a billion dollars combined with their primary and general money to compete with Trump,” Berlin said. “Trump will likely have well over a billion dollars, so I don’t think money matters at the end of the day.”

Hearing For Man Suing Feds Over Airport Security
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) A judge will hear arguments on whether to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a man who was arrested after stripping to his shorts at a Richmond International Airport checkpoint to protest security procedures.
The hearing before U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson is set for Wednesday afternoon.
Twenty-one-year-old Aaron Tobey of Charlottesville was detained Dec. 30 after partially disrobing to display the text of the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment written on his chest. Tobey claims airport security procedures violate the amendment’s protections against unreasonable search and seizure.

Alarmist wants to forcibly tattoo man-made climate change deniers
(Richard Glover) Surely it’s time for climate-change deniers to have their opinions forcibly tattooed on their bodies.
Not necessarily on the forehead; I’m a reasonable man. Just something along their arm or across their chest so their grandchildren could say, ”Really? You were one of the ones who tried to stop the world doing something? And why exactly was that, granddad?”
On second thoughts, maybe the tattooing along the arm is a bit Nazi-creepy. So how about they are forced to buy property on low-lying islands, the sort of property that will become worthless with a few more centimetres of ocean rise, so they are bankrupted by their own bloody-mindedness? Or what about their signed agreement to stand, in the year 2040, lashed to a pole at a certain point in the shallows off Manly? If they are right and the world is cooling – ”climate change stopped in the year 1998” is one of their more boneheaded beliefs – their mouths will be above water. If not …

Egyptian police use Facebook and Twitter to track down protesters’ names before ’rounding them up’
By Ian Gallagher
Sitting on an upturned bread basket with her knees pulled up to her chest, a petite young woman looked out over Tahrir Square early yesterday morning and weighed up whether she should stay or leave.
Gabrielle, 25, is a French-Egyptian property lawyer, one of the thousands of young protesters who have remained at the focal point of Egypt’s uprising since it began 13 days ago. Exhausted, she yearns to return to the comfortable home she shares with her younger sisters and anxious parents – also lawyers – in the upmarket Cairo suburb of Heliopolis ten miles away. She dreamt last night of a hot bath and fresh clothes.
