Relatively restrained by comparison with most days. This Russian connection non-sense is merely an attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton’s losing campaign. — Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump, Feb. 15, 2017 Information is being illegally given to the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost by the intelligence community (NSA and FBI?). Just like Russia
Who here is surprised? The fake news media is going crazy with their conspiracy theories and blind hatred. @MSNBC & @CNN are unwatchable. @foxandfriends is great! — Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump, Feb. 15, 2017 Gotta love them Fox and Friends guys and gals!
I’m puzzled by the Washington Post these days. The reporters are uncovering wonderful stuff that the editors try to stuff under the floorboards. Don’t they recognize gold when they see it? Today’s online paper has this article: ‘This is… Nixonian.’ Reporter was Taped by White House in Heated Exchange
I started paying attention to three-string guitars with Justin Johnson’s shovel video I link to in the About the Site page. That led me to other fun stuff, and I’ll try to include some here. Samantha Fish isn’t a perfect performer, and this recording isn’t anyone’s vision of ‘flawless’. And yet…. There’s something I like about her. I keep going back, even with the tuning […]

There were also Trump associates outside his campaign communicating with Russian sources. The New York Times just reported that the Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts With Russian Intelligence. The report is spotty, but they reference multiple Trump associates and repeated contacts, in the year before […]
House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee Chair Jason Chaffetz seems decided: nothing to see here. Rep Jason Chaffetz R-UT tells reporters there’s no need to further probe Flynn. “It’s taking care of itself” Jamie Dupree @jamiedupree Not that I expected a lot from Mr. Chaffetz, but this was even less. Is there anything he does believe in?
One technique commonly used by despots is to usurp their opponents. Tie them to you, destroy their credibility with anyone else, and make them completely dependent on you, and they can’t betray you. Where else would they go? Credibility is the hardest asset to build, and the easiest to break. The White House Press Secretary position, for example, depends on credibility. I’m not saying press […]
