Politico, though you’d be excused for thinking it’s The Onion:
Spiritual guru and self-help author Marianne Williamson on Wednesday posted and then deleted a tweet suggesting that the “power of the mind” helped turn Hurricane Dorian away from delivering a more dangerous blow to the United States.
“The Bahamas, Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas…may all be in our prayers now,” the Democratic presidential candidate said in the original tweet, adding, “Millions of us seeing Dorian turn away from land is not a wacky idea; it is a creative use of the power of the mind. Two minutes of prayer, visualization, meditation for those in the way of the storm.”
After deleting the tweet, she posted a replacement message that read: “Prayers for the people of the Bahamas, Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas. May the peace of God be upon them and their hearts be comforted as they endure the storm.”
Before you laugh, consider how much less harm this would do than dropping a nuke! And at least as useful.
You might even say Donald Trump puts Marianne Williamson in perspective.

Ah, the visit to Talos 4. The only crime which still carried the death penalty under Federation law during the time of Kirk and Spock.
Isn’t Marianne Williamson simply a New Age spiritualist version of Pat Robertson? More Shirley McLaine than the Old Testament? This Pray-Stuff-Away shit gets old.
God damn, as if there weren’t enough loons running for the Democratic ticket already . . .
. . . We need Marianne Williamson’s input on anything right now about as much as we need Jarvanka’s or Stephen Miller’s.
Who knows? Maybe thoughts and prayers will work for gun control.
If true, wouldn't that make Texas and Florida – with all their nutty evangelicals – the two safest places in the nation?
The evidence indicates the contrary.
So, everyone chanting "No rain, no rain…" at Woodstock failed because it technically wasn't a prayer?
So you doubt the power of the mind, eh? And yet millions of us unable to imagine Marianne Williamson as President is clearly having an impact on her campaign! Who's to say? 😉
All together now: "I want Trump to leave. I want Trump to leave…"
Did it work yet?
Nope.
You need to pray using a 100-round magazine. Spray and pray.
