Gov. Wolfe signs controversial Gun rule!!!

Wolf signs tougher rules for guns in domestic violence cases
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A new law is on the books in Pennsylvania requiring those convicted of misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence or subject to protective orders to give up their guns within 24 hours.
Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf late Friday signed the legislation that takes effect in six months.
The bill ends the practice of letting subjects of protection from abuse orders give their weapons to family members or friends. The law requires they be handed over to police, a gun dealer or lawyer.
Judges could agree to an extension, or the person asking for a PFA could agree to let the person keep guns.
The law previously allowed up to 60 days to relinquish firearms.
It’s the first anti-violence legislation in Pennsylvania that deals directly with guns in more than a decade.

Wagner tells Gov. Wolfe I’ll stomp you!!!

Tough-talking GOP rival to governor: I’ll stomp on your face
By MARC LEVY, Associated Press
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania’s Republican candidate for governor had some advice Friday for his Democratic opponent: Put on a catcher’s mask because “I’m going to stomp all over your face with golf spikes.”
Hours later, Scott Wagner removed the nearly 3-minute video posted on Facebook, and said he may have used a poor choice of words and that his passion should not be confused with anger.
It was, however, the latest time the former state senator and waste-hauling millionaire has used violent imagery to describe how he would get things done in the Capitol, and it revived a theme that has been used against Wagner previously in the campaign.
Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf’s campaign responded by calling it a threat of violence that shows Wagner “is unhinged and unfit for office.”
Asked earlier in the day about the video, Wagner’s campaign said the remarks were metaphorical, and were meant to convey how Wagner will approach the final stretch of the campaign before the Nov. 6 election.
In it, Wagner stood in front of a billboard attacking his waste-hauling company’s practices before making the golf spikes comment.
“Governor, let me tell you, between now and Nov. 6, you’d better put a catcher’s mask on your face because I’m going stomp all over your face with golf spikes because I’m going to win this for the state of Pennsylvania and we’re throwing you out of office because, you know what, I’m sick and tired of your negative ads,” Wagner said in the video.
The billboard was put up by a liberal group not affiliated with Wolf’s campaign and is organized as a “social welfare” nonprofit organization that is not required to disclose its donors. The billboard accuses Wagner’s waste-hauling company, Penn Waste, of suing 6,979 Pennsylvanians. Wagner suggested it was for nonpayment of their bills.
“Hey governor, I don’t know whether you know this or not, but if you have a company and you render a service … you want to get paid for that service,” Wagner said in the video.
Wolf has consistently led independent polls by double-digits and had a huge campaign cash advantage over Wagner of five-to-one as of Sept. 17. Wagner has largely self-financed his campaign and weathered an expensive primary campaign.
He has long raised eyebrows for his references to violence.
“Threats of violence have no place in society, especially from someone running for public office,” Wolf’s campaign said Friday. “This is part of an unfortunate pattern with Scott Wagner.”
Wagner has used other violent imagery in the past to describe how he would get things done in the Capitol as a state senator. In 2014, he talked about wearing gloves to the statehouse because things would get bloody, and another time he spoke of bringing a baseball bat.
In 2016, describing a budget stalemate, he told a Republican audience that GOP lawmakers had Wolf “down on the floor with our foot on his throat and we let him up. Next time, we won’t let him up.”
A primary rival in April aired a TV ad calling him “violent Wagner” and teased a video clip from last year when Wagner grabbed a camera from a campaign tracker working for a liberal political opposition group.
The ad ended with the caption “violent Wagner accused of brutal assault.” However, Wagner was not charged in the incident and the campaign tracker did not appear to suffer more than a minor finger injury.

Brewers take Game 1

Reliever Woodruff’s homer stuns Kershaw, Brewers take Game 1
By GENARO C. ARMAS, AP Sports Writer
MILWAUKEE (AP) — The high-five at the plate from Brandon Woodruff nearly took out Lorenzo Cain.
It’s not often that reliever hits a home run.
Batting left-handed. Off lefty Clayton Kershaw. In the playoffs.
Woodruff stunned the ace with an early home run and Milwaukee’s normally shutdown bullpen held on — barely — as the Brewers beat the sloppy Los Angeles Dodgers 6-5 Friday night in Game 1 of the NL Championship Series.
Hard-throwing Josh Hader and the Brewers earned their 12th straight win, one shy of the franchise record set to open the 1987 season.
Woodruff, of all people, had the momentum-swinging hit.
“It’s something obviously coming into the day, you don’t know in your wildest dreams that’s going to happen,” he said.
It was the first time in postseason history that a pitcher homered in a lefty vs. lefty matchup. Woodruff was understandably was pumped as he rounded the bases.
“He was fired up when he came home. He nearly broke my arm,” Cain said.
The Dodgers scored three times in the eighth to make it 6-4, then nearly tied it in the ninth. Chris Taylor hit an RBI triple off Cain’s glove in deep center field with two outs before Corey Knebel fanned Justin Turner to end it.
Game 2 is Saturday at Miller Park, with Wade Miley pitching for the Brewers against Hyun-Jin Ryu.
The Dodgers did some damage against the Brewers’ bullpen. Milwaukee used seven pitchers, including three scoreless innings from Hader. Woodruff threw two perfect innings and got the win.
“But for us to get a look at these guys out of the ‘pen in a seven-game series, I think that’s a good thing,” manager Dave Roberts said.
Manny Machado homered and drove in three runs for Los Angeles. The Dodgers committed four errors, including two by catcher Yasmani Grandal, who also had two passed balls.
NERVOUS MOMENTS
Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell’s pitching-by-committee strategy continued to be a hit, at least until the late innings.
Finally, the hard-throwing Knebel restored order by striking out Turner. Knebel walked Joc Pederson with two outs before Taylor’s long drive.
“It’s the postseason and anything can happen, you saw right there. It was a good feeling for it to go our way right there at the end,” Knebel said.
STUNNING HOMER
After starter Gio Gonzalez went two innings, nicked by Machado’s home run, Woodruff entered in the top of the third. In the bottom half, Woodruff made a sudden impact — with his bat.
Woodruff became just the third relief pitcher to homer in the postseason, tagging a three-time NL Cy Young Award winner for a tying solo drive. Woodruff pumped both arms as he rounded first base, while Kershaw turned away and looked down at the ground.
“I knew he could swing the bat a little bit, for sure,” Kershaw said. “I didn’t know he could do that, but I knew he could hit a little bit.”
Woodruff was a career 4 for 22 (.222) hitter before connecting. He had one previous homer, in July against Pittsburgh’s Nick Kingham.
DODGER BLUES
Kershaw was chased before he could retire a batter in the fourth inning.
It was another miserable October night for the lefty, whose regular-season brilliance has often disappeared in the postseason.
And it wasn’t even Christian Yelich and the Brewers’ stars who got to him. Hernan Perez hit a sacrifice fly later in the third, and pinch-hitter Domingo Santana had a two-run single in the fourth for a 4-1 lead that chased Kershaw from the mound with nobody out.
It was the shortest postseason start of Kershaw’s career. He had a 4.65 ERA in 10 career appearances, including seven starts, going into Friday.
That ERA went up after allowing six hits and five runs — four earned — in three-plus innings.
“The errors affected the game. But as far as Clayton, I just think it was poor execution,” Roberts said.
Jesus Aguilar added a solo home run in the seventh for the Brewers, his second of the postseason. Cain went 3 for 5 and scored a run.
BURGER TIME
Eat up, Milwaukee.
This late-season run earned Brewers fans a free burger at an area restaurant chain.
George Webb Restaurants has a long-standing promotion to give away a free burger whenever the Brewers win 12 straight.
It’s time to dine after a dozen.
Save the date: October 18, George Webb announced after the game . Save one for reliever Jeremy Jeffress, too.
“Honestly, as long as you put some mayo on it I’m good with it,” he said.
George Webb also paid up in 1987.
UP NEXT
It’s another all left-handed pitching matchup in Game 2. Ryu pitched seven shutout innings, striking out seven and allowing for hits, in the Dodgers’ Game 1 victory over the Braves in the Division Series. Ryu is 2-0 with a 1.96 ERA in four career postseason starts. Miley is making his second start of the postseason, going 4 2/3 innings in the Brewers’ Division Series-clinching victory over Colorado on Sunday. He is 4-5 with a 3.55 ERA in 15 career games against the Dodgers.
