Is it true that Sarah Huckabee Sanders can't find another job except for wife and mother because she covers for Trump so much?

I would think Breitbart would be happy to have her.

Did you know FOX News doubled their fees to cable providers because they advertisers are running away as fast as they can?

How much acid does Saudi Arabia keep around at any point in time?

Saudi authorities (click here) are refusing to confirm the whereabouts of Saud al-Qahtani, the former top aide to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), according to the Washington Post.

Qahtani was fired in October, just days after the gruesome murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi came to light.

In November, the Kingdom confirmed that he was under investigation and banned from leaving the country. Since then there has been no official statement in the case, the Washington Post reported....

Texans want nothing to do with the border wall as Trump is declaring eminent domain over a 19th century chapel.

Hidalgo — As President Donald Trump (click here) travels to the border in Texas to make the case for his $5.7 billion wall, landowner Eloisa Cavazos says she knows firsthand how the project will play out if the White House gets its way.

The federal government has started surveying land along the border in Texas and announced plans to start construction next month. Rather than surrender their land, some property owners are digging in, vowing to reject buyout offers and preparing to fight the administration in court.

“You could give me a trillion dollars and I wouldn’t take it,” said Cavazos, whose land sits along the Rio Grande, the river separating the U.S. and Mexico in Texas. “It’s not about money.”

Trump is scheduled to visit the border Thursday in McAllen, a city of 143,000 on the river.

Congress in March funded 33 miles (53 kilometers) of walls and fencing in Texas. The government has laid out plans that would cut across private land in the Rio Grande Valley. Those in the way include landowners who have lived in the valley for generations, environmental groups and a 19th century chapel....

What I found interesting about the Manafort leak that solidifies the Trump campaign in collusion with Russia was the fact it is so public.

There have been no new indictments from the Special Council investigation while Matt Whitaker has been acting AG. No one can dispute the fact there needs to be many more new indictments filed with this very public leak.

Then, after the facts surfaced about Manafort and the Trump campaign collusion with Russia, Munchkin comes out to plead with the US House for sanction relief for Russia. I'll be darn.

What I don't understand is why would a wealthy man like Munchkin carry on with Trump this way, including the tax law which he authored? What does Russia have on Munchkin? Why is Munchkin as corrupt or more so than Trump and his merry men and a woman?

In the light of these revelations by Munchkin, there needs to be a vigorous investigation of the US Treasury to find more traces of corruption not readily in view of the US Congress or the public. This stinks and it stinks bad.

Trump and his minions are becoming very bold in their corruption and it is because the US Senate sides with Trump in their fear of being primaried in 2020. The USA government is basically occupied by Russia through the very dense corruption of the Trump White House. McConnell better find his backbone and soon.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin (click here) will brief House lawmakers Thursday about his department's plan to terminate sanctions on three companies linked to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire with ties to Vladimir Putin.

The briefing, which is slated for exactly one week after Democrats officially took a majority of the House, is among the first instances of the party using its newfound power to conduct oversight of the Trump administration....

Is this stunt in any way affiliated with the NRA? A communication board or some inspiration of sorts?

Like most stupid populous teen challenge ideas, this is about intimidation. Now, it isn't even about protecting schools from hostile intent, it is about seeking to intimidate peers and classmates into advocating for arming students.

It is related to the theme and motto by the NRA, "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." I believe the origins of this idea needs to be investigated as well as the death(s) itself.

A Houston teenager (click here) is accused of shooting dead a fellow teen as part of a weapons-drawing prank that has been spreading on social media, authorities said Thursday.

Mohamad Nour Alajil, 18, has been charged with manslaughter in connection to the Dec. 11 slaying of Christian Johnson, 19, officials said.

Police believe Johnson's death resulted from the "No Lackin'" challenge, which calls for one person to pull a weapon on another on video to record the reaction, KPRC reported. The challenge stems from the notion that no one should ever be caught without, or "lacking," a gun.

Johnson had an AR-15 rifle pointed at Alajil, while Alajil had a semi-automatic pistol aimed at the victim, a prosecutor said during a hearing Thursday....
