Fri Aug 11: I’m going to say; This NoKo action could be a way to test or expose US missile defense system (THAAD). China may be using Pyongyang as a proxy provocateur to see what the US is capable of defensively, and observe how we respond; watch the Navy and Air Force…
Funny how President Donald Trump told the presidente of Mexico (Enrique Peña Nieto) to stop saying Mexico won’t pay for the Border Wall – and he did. …
Mon Jul 31 2017: What’s wrong with Fareed? Fareed Zakaria – still mad that he promised a landslide loss for Donald Trump in the presidential election – prodded Trump today calling him the ultimate “bluffer” on the issue of North Korea. Not a good idea. I wouldn’t call his bluffs if I were you, Fareed…
North Korea – Not sure I want to see China take military measures against the No. Korean regime. Diplomatic? Yes. Military action…? Not so much. We have never seen Chinese military capabilities on display and I’m sure that’s their long term strategy – all this time they’ve never upped the ante, just…
Thu Jul 27, 2017: Attorney General Jeff Sessions has somehow been adopted by the Left and News Media as the poster boy for – get this – Cyber Bullying. People from outside and inside the White House are decrying (and crying over) President Trump’s tweets about his “beleaguered” AG. …
Truly encouraging and moving speech delivered on the Senate floor today by John McCain, just recently released from the hospital after surgery and finding a brain tumor. McCain flew in from Arizona to cast his vote for and speak about the New American Healthcare bill. In a strictly partisan vote the bill was approved by…
Monday Jul 24: “We have what we call in the Wall St business an arbitrage spread between how we feel about the President, and how the people and the media feel.” With that quote on Friday, I think I’m going to like the new White House Communications Director, Anthony Scaramucci. Sean Spicer officially resigned. In…
We all know how up in arms the country is over #RussiaGate – whatever it’s supposed to be. Nefarious dealings with the Kremlin and ‘Moscow Centre’. Next came the Trump card: Donald Junior meeting with Russians in June 2016 at Trump Tower during the campaign. Paul Manafort was there, along with Jared Kushner (where isn’t…
The Economist Intelligence Unit Source: The Economist Intelligence Unit Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt have all cut transport and diplomatic ties with Qatar, accusing it of funding and supporting regional terrorism. Although Qatar Airways has in turn cancelled all flights to Saudi Arabia, the material effects of the fallout are likely to hit…
Today is gut check day. The day after a small summit meeting between these United States and Russia. Things were said, promises made, doubts were raised. And in the end, we will see whether Russia can be honest and trustworthy going forward. In years past these tete a tetes ended with Russia saying one thing…
Measuring neurofilaments in brain and spinal fluid appears to be a reliable way of confirming an ALS diagnosis, Belgian and German researchers report. This finding is important because it takes an average of a year from the appearance of the first symptoms before doctors can diagnose the disease. The discovery could shorten this time. The neurons…
Fri June 30, So let me get this straight; CNN just reported that Hillary Clinton’s private server was never hacked. But the DNC server was hacked and her State Department emails were leaked to WikiLeaks. So those emails came from … not her private server that housed all her State Dept. emails? But it wasn’t…
So let me get this straight; CNN just reported that Hillary Clinton’s private server was never hacked. But the DNC server was hacked and her State Department emails were leaked to WikiLeaks. So those emails came from … not her private server in the basement that housed all her State Dept. emails? Yet, it wasn’t…
Jun 29, 2017: Another White House Press Briefing, another circus show. Sarah Huckabee Sanders hosted today’s briefing, live on tv, (You’re welcome, CNN) and all hell broke loose on her about the President’s Tweet about MSNBC Newsanchor, Mika Brzezinski. Do you think Sean Spicer and Sarah flip a coin or draw straws before…
Mon June 19, 2017 — CNN’s White House correspondent Jim Acosta lost his mind on live television yesterday. (Well who doesn’t on CNN?) Jim was vexed that the White House did not allow audio or video recordings of the daily press briefing with Sean Spicer. Being his belittling self, Donald Trump called Jim a “real…
More evidence of a Barium Meal from the President: CNN is reporting President Trump is not considering firing special investigator Robert Mueller; FOX is reporting that President Trump is considering firing Mueller. These networks all have sources (Christopher Ruddy) who are telling them different versions. Classic Barium Meal — tell ten people ten different things…

Dianne Feinstein, on State of the Union this morning, doesn’t like double standards. Well, let’s revise; she doesn’t like double standards that go against her preconceived notions. When asked how she felt about James Comey and his testimony that President Donald Trump asked for this so called “loyalty oath” ( so stupid), she said she…
Former FBI Director James Comey on Thursday accused President Donald Trump of lying when he said in the aftermath of Comey’s firing that the bureau was in disarray and that its agents had lost confidence in its leader. “Those were lies, plain and simple,” Comey told the Senate Intelligence Committee. No… It’s a statement…
Comey testified today – not impressive. The media is holding up former FBI Director James Comey as the best thing since J Edgar Hoover. Give me a break. All that kept coming out of Comey today were the weak words, “queasy,” (let’s not forget his other phrase “mildly nauseous” from before), and “Oh Lordy.”…
