Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ted Cruz is Negative . Cruz 's fans say it 's because he stands on principle . 
In the three years since he arrived in the U.S. Senate , Ted Cruz has become easily the most hated man in Washington -- a fact he 's now using to his advantage as a presidential candidate . 
Is it true , as Cruz would have it , that the dreaded GOP establishment pays lip service to shrinking the federal government and repealing Obamacare , but actually would prefer to preserve the status quo ? 
Or do Cruz 's Beltway critics have a point ? 
Cruz has n't hesitated to take polarizing stances , even when doing so means taking on his Republican colleagues . 
Lee is also Cruz 's best friend -- maybe his only friend -- in the Senate . 
In his memoir , Cruz writes that no one stood by him "more courageously or indispensably" than Lee during his 21-hour anti-Obamacare speech that preceded the 2013 government shutdown . 
When Lee brought up his bill in the committee hearing , he was n't sure if he 'd have Cruz 's support . 
Cruz attacked the bill as dangerous and politically poisonous . 
Cruz went on to warn his fellow senators that if they voted for the bill , they would imperil their careers . 
Essentially , Cruz was saying that the legislation would let dangerous people out of prison , they would commit more crimes , and the senators would be subject to Willie Horton-style attack ads . 
Lee , who was sitting right next to Cruz , could not believe what he was hearing . 
Lee 's communications director , Conn Carroll , confirmed to me that Lee and his staff had no advance warning that Cruz was planning to brutally attack -- and , in Lee 's view , misrepresent -- his friend 's bill . 
The bill made it out of committee that day , but now it appears to be in trouble , with several other Republican senators taking Cruz 's line against it at a Senate lunch last week . 
Today , Lee has conspicuously joined every other sitting senator in declining to endorse Cruz 's presidential run . 
And while Lee and Cruz are still friends , the episode vividly illustrates Cruz 's talent for irritating other senators . 
Another telling episode came during the 2013 government shutdown , which Cruz spearheaded , insisting that if Congress defunded Obamacare , the president might go along . 
As McKay Coppins reports in his new book , The Wilderness , Cruz 's own staff never actually expected the gambit to work . 
To Cruz 's colleagues , it was a pointless and damaging exercise , but grassroots conservative groups cheered the effort . 
Cruz is close to the Fund and has appeared in its ads . 
At a private lunch of Republican senators , New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte waved the document in Cruz 's face and demanded that he disavow it . 
When he declined , several other senators , including then-Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , took Ayotte 's side and denounced Cruz . 
In my conversations with Republican policy types and Senate aides about Cruz , this lack of regard for his colleagues , and for the niceties that have traditionally governed the upper chamber , was a common theme . 
As Trent Lott , the former Senate majority leader , told me last week , referring to the time Cruz called McConnell a liar on the Senate floor : "You just do n't do that . 
Another criticism of Cruz is that his antics are disruptive and damaging to the Republican Party . 
Cruz does have policy differences with the business wing of the party : Unlike the Chamber , he opposes comprehensive immigration reform , would like to kill the Export-Import Bank , and -LRB- in a reversal -RRB- opposed a recent free-trade bill . 
In Iowa , Cruz has been subjected to millions of dollars in attack ads and personally criticized by the Republican governor , Terry Branstad , for opposing ethanol subsidies . 
But a Republican policy expert close to a number of top GOP operatives and donors insisted it 's not about Cruz 's style or his positions . 
But the effort does n't result in smaller government or the end of Obamacare -- all it achieves is drawing attention to Cruz . 
You can see how these complaints look from the perspective of Cruz and his fans : like features , not bugs . 
But what about the criticism that Cruz 's efforts have n't gotten any results ? 
The Cruz camp did n't reply to my query , so I put the question to Amanda Carpenter , who was Cruz 's communications director during much of his time in the Senate , including the shutdown . 
Carpenter said Cruz had sent a message . 
Cruz has shown that one person can make a difference ." 
But as they see it , the difference Cruz has made in the Senate has not been a positive one .

Answer: yes


Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov is Positive . Police say that  a 29-year-old Uzbek immigrant named Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov  sped a rented truck 20 blocks down a lower Manhattan bike trail  slamming cyclists and pedestrians.  His  deceased victims include a young Belgian mother of two  two fledgling American businessmen  and  perhaps most tragically  five of eight Argentines who visited Gotham to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their high-school graduation.
NYPD Counterterror Chief John Miller said  "He did this in the name of ISIS." A note in Arabic note in  Saipov ’s vehicle pledged allegiance to the terror network. His cell phone reportedly contains some 90 videos and 3 800 photos from ISIS  including images of beheadings and prisoners being crushed by a tank.
 Saipov  seems remorseless.  He  reportedly said  he  was "proud" of  his  killing spree and wished to hang an ISIS flag in  his  hospital room.
But political correctness also eased  Saipov ’s carnage.
De Blasio further disconnected the dots in April 2014 when he scrapped an NYPD surveillance program designed to root out "budding terrorist conspiracies." It scrutinized  among others  Paterson  New Jersey’s Masjid Omar Mosque. De Blasio claimed that junking this initiative would ease tensions  "so that our cops and our citizens can help one another go after the real bad guys." Too bad they could not go after a real bad guy among this mosque’s congregants — Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov.
Information is vital here.  Saipov  may have loads of  it . American officials should squeeze  it  out of  him   like juice from a lemon.
"If you act like a terrorist  and you say you’re a terrorist  that’s enough for me " Sen. Lindsey Graham  R-S.C.  told journalists on Wednesday. "We ought to treat you as a terrorist." Graham knows exactly how to handle  Saipov .
As soon as he can travel   Saipov  should be jetted to Guantanamo and interrogated until he spills everything he knows about his terrorist training  contacts  and any mayhem that they are poised to unleash. After that   Saipov  should receive a swift military trial. If convicted  he should be dispatched at once.

Answer: no


Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Pruitt is Neutral . In announcing the changes   EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt  suggested many previously appointed to the panels were potentially biased because they had received federal research grants. The 22 boards advise EPA on a wide range of issues  including drinking water standards and pesticide safety.
"Whatever science comes out of EPA shouldn't be political science " said  Pruitt   a Republican lawyer who previously served as the attorney general of Oklahoma. "From this day forward  EPA advisory committee members will be financially independent from the agency."
 Pruitt  has expressed skepticism about the consensus of climate scientists that man-made carbon emissions are the primary cause of global warming.  He  also overruled experts that had recommended pulling a top-selling pesticide from the market after peer-reviewed studies showed it damaged children's brains.
 Pruitt  said  he  will name new leadership and members to three key EPA advisory boards soon â the Science Advisory Board  Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee  and the Board of Scientific Counselors.
As part of his directive   Pruitt  said  he  will bar appointees who currently are in receipt of EPA grants or who are in a position to benefit such grants.  He  exempted people who work at state  local or tribal agencies  saying  he  wants to introduce more "geographic diversity" to the panels.
The five-page policy  Pruitt  issued Tuesday makes no mention of other potential conflicts of interest  such as accepting research funding from corporate interests regulated by EPA.
Tuesday's announcement comes after  Pruitt  in May said  he  would not reappoint nine of the 18 members of the Board of Scientific Counselors to serve a second three-year term  as had been customary.
"It obviously stacks the deck against scientists who do not represent corporate special interests " said Swackhamer  a retired professor who taught environmental health sciences at the University of Minnesota. "It speaks volumes that people funded by special interests are OK to be advisers  but not those who have received federal grants. "
Senate Environment Committee Chairman John Barrasso  a Wyoming Republican who shares Pruitt's skepticism of mainstream climate science   cheered the move.  He  said EPA's science boards would now better reflect the views of rural states like  his  own.
But environmentalists worried that  Pruitt  will now select board members with financial ties to the fossil fuel and chemical industries.
"The Trump EPA's continued attack on science will likely be one of the most lasting and damaging legacies of this administration " said Sen. Tom Udall of New Mexico  the ranking Democrat on the appropriations subcommittee that approves EPA's funding. " Pruitt  is purging expert scientists from  his  science boards â and replacing them with mouthpieces for big polluters."

Answer:
yes
