It came suddenly, like the floodwaters that inundate Eastwick during a storm. For about a decade, SEPTA had vetted and planned to buy a 29-acre abandoned industrial site in Southwest Philadelphia to store and maintain the mammoth new light-rail vehicles it would use to modernize the city’s trolley system. And then Amazon beat them to it, with more money. Much more. The area’s political leaders .

There are places honorable people don’t go. Lows to which they don’t stoop. Careless, hateful things they don’t say. Integrity and decency keep them from doing so. On Sunday in New York, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer went there. Over “climate change.”
I was initially shocked when I read Schumer’s comments, but I was far from surprised, which speaks volumes about partisan hacks like Schumer and nothing about decent people, other than the disgust we feel for people like Chuck Schumer.
During a Sunday press conference, Schumer lashed out at storm-ravaged Texas. Let’s first put it into perspective. In an update earlier today, the numbers stood at 69 dead, 44 hours of below-freezing temperatures, and $18 billion in damages. Add in no power and no water. An event that an untold number of Texans will remember for the rest of their lives.
