The reality behind the pictures doesn’t matter, though. More important are the images themselves and their power, along with dishonest media spin, to produce an emotional response that short-circuits critical thinking. Never mind what the facts are! Children are suffering! Trump is guilty! We need to “do something”!
Even then, Trump will be vilified for taking so long to do it. Whether or how Trump may yield further is not clear, but rather than slaking the hate campaign against him, his attempted effort at appeasement has put the smell of political blood in the water with the November 2018 Congressional midterm elections looming.
Two of the most visible members of the Trump administration are planning their departures, the latest sign of upheaval in a White House marked by turmoil.
Press secretary Sarah Sanders and principal deputy press secretary Raj Shah are both heading for the exits, according to sources inside the White House and close to the administration. Sanders, who has become a confidante of President Trump since the departure of former communications director Hope Hicks, has told friends that she plans to leave the administration at the end of the year.
Shah is also considering his exit, but he has not yet settled on an exact date. Neither Sanders nor Shah responded to repeated requests for comment before this story was published. When reached Wednesday evening, both declined to comment on the record, and Sanders tweeted that she is “honored to work for @POTUS.”

Does @CBSNews know something I don’t about my plans and my future? I was at my daughter’s year-end Kindergarten event and they ran a story about my “plans to leave the WH” without even talking to me. I love my job and am honored to work for @POTUS

A weather camera on an island in Washington state on Sunday captured a mystery object that appears to some to be a missile in ascent, Q13Fox.com reported.
The object was spotted at 3:56 a.m. over Whidbey Island, where there is a naval air station. But a spokesman from NAS Whidbey Island said there are no missile capabilities at the base.
“There’s a lot of speculation around here,” Tom Mills, the spokesman, said. “But it’s definitely not a missile launch.”
editor’s note: pseudo-science covering up the concept that others w/high tech created a low frequency “bubble” (aka the matrix dome/grid/net)….instead let’s just say it was a human made bubble that is useful to us all……such b.s. this one’s getting filed in the “fake news” category….
Editor’s note: I pulled the video I put up last night that claimed the paperwork out of New York was one of the first unsealed indictments. I have since heard this is false. One researcher (youtube channel vid link here) went to the Pacer site and said this case was not listed. So until it is proven otherwise, I will not post it here (or anything else that may be false). It serves no purpose jumping the gun, so to speak, especially when it comes to these indictments. Fake News doesn’t just apply to the mainstream media..
UPDATE: I was just informed you are free tv retracted the original video i shared last night. good on her! i appreciate that – shows integrity. [wp-svg-icons icon=”heart-2″ wrap=”i”] we want this damn hammer slammed into the ground so much ~ it can be easy (and so very human) to share before knowing for sure.
Love it! [wp-svg-icons icon=”cool” wrap=”i”] We love you DJT…

WASHINGTON — President Trump will not attend the White House Correspondents Association Dinner this year, continuing a boycott that began his first year in office, the White House announced on Friday, but the president will “actively encourage” members of his administration to go in celebration of the First Amendment.
The president’s decision did not come as much of a surprise. Just a few hours after the announcement on Friday, the president tweeted about the “Fake News Media” and said, “so much of the media is dishonest and corrupt!”

Do you believe that the Fake News Media is pushing hard on a story that I am going to replace A.G. Jeff Sessions with EPA Chief Scott Pruitt, who is doing a great job but is TOTALLY under siege? Do people really believe this stuff? So much of the media is dishonest and corrupt!
