[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ted Cruz ? After four years of taunting and torturing fellow Republicans , Ted Cruz is shedding his just-say-no persona in the Senate for a new identity : Team player . 
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell -- a man Cruz once derided as a liar and an ally of Democrats -- is counting on the Texan to help navigate an Obamacare repeal bill through the Senate with virtually no margin for error . 
As a trusted voice of the conservative wing of the GOP and conduit to the House Freedom Caucus , Cruz is fast emerging as a pivotal player in the Republican bid to do away with the landmark Democratic health care law . 
But after receiving so much blowback for that and many other episodes , there 's nary a Cruz critic in the Senate Republican Conference nowadays . 
Cruz 's work on health care has been uncharacteristically low profile so far . 
It began with a private dinner in mid-February at the upscale D.C. steakhouse Capital Grille with the more compromise-minded Alexander , who once chided Cruz for calling McConnell a liar on the Senate floor by noting that one thing "you learn in Kindergarten is to respect one another ." 
Alexander and Cruz agreed to assemble a group of GOP senators to prepare for the eventuality that the House would send them a health care bill riddled with flaws that could not pass the Senate as written . 
But when it comes to passing a new health care law , Republicans believe the inclusion of Cruz and his close ally , Sen. Mike Lee -LRB- R-Utah -RRB- , could pay critical dividends by building support among conservative groups and the House Freedom Caucus . 
"One of the challenges when the Obamacare bill was in the House , was that early on was that the different parts of the party were not talking to each other ," Cruz said in an interview in his office . 
Collaborative and inclusive are not typically words associated with Cruz . 
Now that President Barack Obama is out of office , Cruz said his mission in the Senate is no longer to be the "loyal opposition ." 
"Different circumstances call for different approaches ," said Cruz , who is gearing up to run for a second term next year in a closely watched race . 
Cruz 's leading role has shocked some of his colleagues . 
The group that Cruz helped develop is , in some ways , a substitute for the traditional committee process . 
"We have skin in the game ," Cruz said . 
Still , there 's concern among some more centrist senators that the end-product could appeal too much to Cruz and not enough to the dozen or so Republican senators who have grave concerns about slashing Medicaid and removing protections for preexisting conditions . 
Clearly he believes Lee and Cruz are crucial ; but some GOP sources said there are deep doubts among senators that Collins or Sen. Rand Paul -LRB- R-Ky . -RRB- 
Though GOP leaders believe by getting Cruz involved they are minimizing the possibility that Cruz will later demolish their repeal efforts , the Texas firebrand is n't on the same page about everything . 
Cruz wants to go as big as possible , and if Senate rules prohibit his idea , he believes Vice President Mike Pence should simply overrule the parliamentarian . 
"The parliamentarian merely advises , the vice president decides ," Cruz said . 
But on almost every other front , Republicans say , Cruz is being highly productive .

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Seth Rich ? As rumors swirl that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is preparing a case against Russians who are alleged to have hacked Democrats during the 2016 election â a conclusion based solely on the analysis of cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike  a Friday op-ed in the Washington Times by retired U.S. Navy admiral James A. Lyons  Jr. asks a simple  yet monumentally significant question: Why havenât Congressional Investigators or Special Counsel Robert Mueller addressed the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich â who multiple people have claimed was Wikileaksâ source of emails leaked during the 2016 U.S. presidential election?
Mueller has been incredibly thorough in his ongoing investigations â however he wonât even respond to Kim Dotcom  the New Zealand entrepreneur who clearly knew about the hacked emails long before they were released  claims that  Seth Rich  obtained them with a memory stick  and has offered to provide proof to the Special Counsel investigation.
Reminder: Hereâs the first letter my lawyers wrote to Special Counsel Mueller regarding  Seth Rich . We never received any reply. Itâs astonishing considering my first hand knowledge of the DNC leak. [Link] â Kim Dotcom (@KimDotcom) March 2  2018
I knew  Seth Rich . I know  he  was the @Wikileaks source. I was involved. [Link] â Kim Dotcom (@KimDotcom) May 20  2017
On May 18  2017  Dotcom proposed that if Congress includes the  Seth Rich  investigation in their Russia probe   he  would provide written testimony with evidence that  Seth Rich  was WikiLeaksâ source.
Odd facts surrounding the murder of  Seth Rich
 âThe facts that we know of in the murder of the DNC staffer   Seth Rich   was that  he  was gunned down blocks from  his  home on July 10  2016. Washington Metro police detectives claim that  Mr. Rich  was a robbery victim  which is strange since after being shot twice in the back   he  was still wearing a $2 000 gold necklace and watch.  He  still had  his  wallet  key and phone. Clearly   he  was not a victim of robbery â writes Lyons.
Another unexplained fact muddying the Rich case is that of a stolen 40 caliber Glock 22 handguns stoken from an FBI agentâs car the same day  Rich  was murdered. D.C. Metro police said that the theft occurred between 5 and 7 a.m.  while the FBI said two weeks later that the theft had occurred between Midnight and 2 a.m. â fueling speculation that the FBI gun was used in Richâs murder.
Furthermore  two men working with the Rich family â private investigator and former D.C. Police detective Rod Wheeler and family acquaintance Ed Butowsky  have previously stated that  Rich  had contacts with WikiLeaks before his death.
While Wheeler initially told TV station Fox5 that proof of Richâs contact with WikiLeaks lies on the murdered IT stafferâs laptop  he later walked the claim back â though he maintained that there was âsome communication between  Seth Rich  and WikiLeaks.â

Wheeler also claimed in recently leaked audio that  Seth Richâs  brother  Aaron â a Northrup Grumman employee  blocked him from looking at Sethâs computer and stonewalled his investigation.
Wheeler said that  brother Aaron Rich  tried to block Wheeler from looking at Sethâs computer  even though there could be evidence on it. â He  said no   he  said I have  his  computer  meaning  him  â Wheeler said. âI said  well can I look at it?â¦ He  said  what are you looking for? I said anything that could indicate if  Seth  was having problems with someone.  He  said no  I already checked it. Donât worry about it.â Aaron also blocked Wheeler from finding out about who was at a party  Seth  attended the night of the murder. âAll I want you to do is work on the botched robbery theory and thatâs it â Aaron told Wheeler âBig League Politics
Perhaps the most stunning audio evidence  however  comes from leaked audio of a recorded conversation between Ed Butowsky and Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh  who told him of  a âpurported FBI report establishing that Seth Rich sent emails to WikiLeaks .â
What  the report  says is that some time in late Springâ¦ he makes contact with WikiLeaks  thatâs in his computer â he says. âAnyway  they found what he had done is that he had submitted a series of documents â of emails  of juicy emails  from the DNC.â Hersh explains that it was unclear how the negotiations went  but that WikiLeaks did obtain access to a password protected DropBox where  Rich  had put the files. âAll I know is that he offered a sample  an extensive sample  Iâm sure dozens of emails  and said âI want money.âLater  WikiLeaks did get the password  he had a DropBox  a protected DropBox â he said. They got access to the DropBox.â Hersh also states that  Rich  had concerns about something happening to him  and had âThe word was passed  according to the NSA report  he also shared this DropBox with a couple of friends  so that âif anything happens to me itâs not going to solve your problems ââ he added. âWikiLeaks got access before he was killed.â
Last but not least  letâs not forget that Julian Assange heavily implied  Seth Rich  was a source:

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Irma ? Hurricane Irma Leaves Devastation Of 'Epic Proportions' In Caribbean
A string of tiny Caribbean islands have been left stunned and devastated by the destructive force of  Hurricane Irma   one of the strongest storms ever to hit the region. Some islands appear to have been spared  but others suffered loss of life and damage on a near-apocalyptic scale.
In Barbuda  communications were severed as  Irma  made landfall just before midnight on Tuesday. Antigua  25 miles to the south  dodged the full force of the storm  prompting Prime Minister Gaston Browne at first to declare it a miracle that his nation had been spared.
"I journeyed to Barbuda this afternoon and what I saw was heart-wrenching  absolutely devastating " Browne said on state-owned television Wednesday afternoon. "In fact  I believe that on a per capita basis  the extent of the destruction in Barbuda is unprecedented. And it is unprecedented  based on the type of storm. Hurricane Irma would have been easily the most powerful hurricane to have stormed through the Caribbean  and it is extremely unfortunate that Barbuda was right in its path."
Some six hours later  Irma smashed into St. Martin  about 60 miles northwest of Barbuda. The island was directly in the storm's path  and the half-French  half-Dutch island suffered horrendously as a result.
North of St. Martin  the low-lying British island of Anguilla took what U.K. Foreign Office Minister Alan Duncan described as the full force of Irma.
The British and U.S. Virgin Islands  popular tourist and charter boat destinations  were next in the path of Hurricane Irma. The outer bands of the approaching storm began to lash the islands early Wednesday afternoon.
"We are very grateful to be able to report that all of our team on Island have been accounted for as safe as well. Necker Island felt the effects of  Hurricane Irma  and sustained extensive damage  the extent of which we are still assessing."
Although Irma passed just north of Puerto Rico  sparing it a full-on hit from the storm  the island's precarious electrical infrastructure couldn't withstand the glancing blow. More than 1 million Puerto Ricans were reportedly without electricity.
Like the Dominican Republic  Haiti is only getting a sideswipe from  Irma   but unlike its neighbor on the island of Hispaniola  the land in French-speaking Haiti has been largely denuded of trees  leaving it especially vulnerable to landslides and flooding from heavy rains.
"It looks like Haiti won't get a direct hit from  Irma   and that's fortunate because the country is still struggling to recover from Hurricane Matthew  which wiped out the country nearly a year ago " said Hervil Cherubin  country director for Heifer International  a nonprofit working with 15 000 farming families across Haiti.
